WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.759 We have a very large amount of Minnesota Goodbye emails today. We didn't get 2 00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:09.119 to do one yesterday because our equipment broke and we couldn't do it. And 3 00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:15.560 it was frustrating because Jenny was overwhelmed with work yesterday and then the computer went 4 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.239 down. We had to get an update and a patch and bleh, bleh, 5 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.960 bleh. Cult fixed it. But apparently Colt, the afternoon guy with 6 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.000 Fallon, fixed it, so it's working again. Let's jump right in. 7 00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.600 Most of the time, the Minnesota Goodbye is all about your emails, and 8 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.719 we do have a bunch, so I'm going to race through as many as 9 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.320 we can. I heard Jenny read a bunch of random fun facts on the 10 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.479 radio. Here's mine, Dave thought you'd like this too. Carol Spinney was 11 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.560 the man who voiced and puppeteered Big Birds since the beginning of Sesame Street in 12 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.159 the nineteen sixties. In the early nineteen eighties, when NASA was falling out 13 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.759 of public favor, they approached Carol Spinny to take Big Bird to space on 14 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:58.240 the nineteen eighty four Challenger mission to reignite interest in NASA with children. He 15 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.200 went through many months of asking and in his last weeks. They had him 16 00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.280 put on the Big Bird suit to actually get in the shuttle, and it 17 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.599 wouldn't fit. They couldn't get it in the doors of the shuttle, so 18 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:14.200 they scrapped the idea of taking Big Bird to space. That's when they thought 19 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.560 to do the national contest to take a teacher to space. And that's probably 20 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.280 how you know the story of the Space Shuttle challenge or explosion They said nineteen 21 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:29.040 eighty four. That actually happened in nineteen eighty six. I remember very clearly. 22 00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.239 Wow, had it not been for the Big Bird costume being unable to 23 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.000 fit in the rocket, Big Bird would have been in that fatal explosion. 24 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.439 And Carol Spinny just died like recently within the last like five years. I 25 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.280 think you're right. Wow, I learned this, they say. I learned 26 00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.519 this from the great documentary called I Am Big Bird about the life and career 27 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.319 of Carol Spinney. It's fantastic. Check it out for a nerdy documentary. 28 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.439 Sometime. Y'all make my day every day. Thanks for all you do. 29 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.480 Jen. That was very nice. You know what. We got a lot 30 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.760 of negative nasty emails the last couple of days with Drake being gone, and 31 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:02.319 people just you know, it's negative and nasty, and I'm gonna let you 32 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.319 know it's hurtful, even if you don't mean it to be hurtful, So 33 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.840 you know, but I do appreciate hearing what you're saying. But just keep 34 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:14.280 in mind that when you write something negative and nasty, it hurts. So 35 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:19.639 I really appreciate jen at you being positive. I will get to a couple 36 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.639 of those and let me scroll down here because, like I said, I 37 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.439 read flagged a bunch of these because they're all so good. I'm going to 38 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.080 pick a random one. Here we go. You've been my company during my 39 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.360 entire maternity leave, says Taylor. I've been at home with a newborn. 40 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.560 Also, I'm thankful for you. I am so sad to hear about Drake, 41 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.120 but I know the show will continue to thrive as you always do. 42 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.319 I want to say I love it when fun joins you. He is so 43 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.360 great. Random question when you're on the show, how do you eat and 44 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.479 drink during my weekday? I'm constantly making coffee, your tea, and refilling 45 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.120 my water bottle. I also always have a snack. Do you have food 46 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.879 and drinks prepared before you sit down? For your show. I stop at 47 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.120 caribou or make my own coffee, bring it in in a thermos. What 48 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:06.240 did you bring in? I have water. I really should start bringing food 49 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.960 and drinks and stuff, but I do not. I really should, though. 50 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.400 I don't eat during the show because I don't really have time and I've 51 00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.039 been doing this radio gig long enough to know that if you're eating in your 52 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:23.360 caught off guard, then you got to go right exactly. So I don't 53 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.840 really eat during the show. We used to give Steve a hard time because 54 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.199 that motherfucker he would, like nine o'clock every morning, he would take a 55 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.039 tupperware of stinky something out of the microwave, bring it in here, is 56 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.800 like salmon and broccoli or something awful, and he'd bring it in here and 57 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.479 he would eat purposely loud to piss fallen off and it would stink. And 58 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.120 so anyway we can eat during the show, we just don't. More serious 59 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.800 question. I have a single friend that celebrates all of our friend groups, 60 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.560 engagements, weddings, baby showers, et cetera, including my milestones, but 61 00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.439 does not have any of these celebrations for herself as she is happy. How 62 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.599 can I show appreciation or celebrate her. And that's from staff writer Taylor. 63 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.240 Any suggestions on celebrating your single friend. I really love this, Taylor, 64 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.439 that you're even thinking about it, because I do think that like single women 65 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.160 kind of get the short end of the stick because they don't have any celebrations 66 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.000 like you know, being married or having a baby or things like that. 67 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.079 But I don't know, did they accomplish something at their job, because then 68 00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.879 you could celebrate that. Yeah, that's a good one, right, or 69 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.360 I mean past birthdays. You could just celebrate them being a great loyal friend 70 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.240 to you. I don't know. I feel like taking your friends out every 71 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:40.199 once in a while just to like in I guess celebrate your friendship is nice 72 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.959 obviously, like throwing a party is going to be kind of like a specific 73 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.000 sort of thing. You got to choose what to throw a party on. 74 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.879 But have they accomplished anything? Maybe they just finished a class and you could 75 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.240 celebrate that, Or maybe they learned a new skill and you could celebrate that. 76 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.079 I like it. I think that's a good one, like a new 77 00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:00.199 skill like learning how to crochet. Right, shout out woubles and going to 78 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.680 give a shout out to the woman who heard Susan on the radio, my 79 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:08.959 wife talking about Crochane woubles, which are little grapefruit size, little crochet projects 80 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.000 and they're adorable. And she's like, because of Susan, I started doing 81 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.199 woubles and I love it. And it's like, throw a wouble party. 82 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.800 That sounds fun, friends, could be great fun to me. Nope, 83 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.160 not going to that party. By the way, we are going to do 84 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.920 the Dave Ryan book release party coming up this Saturday, the twenty third, 85 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.759 at the Local, which is a bar restaurant in Saint Louis Park. Will 86 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.199 be in the back room. I'll have my book, We'll have appetizers. 87 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.680 It goes noon until one thirty. And I'm nervous that not many people are 88 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.560 going to show up, because like anybody who throws a party, you get 89 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.959 nervous that nobody's going to show up. My sister and my mom and my 90 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.000 niece will be there. Oh they will. They will. What's your sister's 91 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.600 name again, so I can pretend that I remember her. Maddess just like 92 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.519 me, but she has blue hair and her boobs are huge. Oh you'll 93 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.000 know who she is, Okay, Matt, Can I call her Maddie Maddie. 94 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.480 Yeah, and what and who else's niece? My niece her, So 95 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.399 my sister's daughter. Name's Josephine and I call her JOJ joj Judge and then 96 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.360 Mama Randa. Of course, I'm pretty sure. I'm like ninety percent sure 97 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.079 they're coming. Okay, that's great, and you're invited. I hope you 98 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.639 can come, pick up a copy of my book. We'll get a picture 99 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.360 together, we'll chat. I will. I'm going to read you a text 100 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.519 message from my daughter Allison, because I thought it was very sweet and very 101 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.920 adorable. She says, Evelyn brings your book to me to read every day, 102 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.680 and she actually sits and listens. Evelyn is a year and a half 103 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.639 old. She knows it's your book because she points to your picture in the 104 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:40.399 back. That is the sweetest. I just love that one. It is 105 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.800 a very sweet book. And I'm going to tell you I had fun writing 106 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:47.240 it. And I will freely admit that Josie is the star of the book. 107 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.000 She's way more fun than my little character. All My my character's little 108 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.759 asshole. He's like always making a mess and that type of thing. I 109 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:59.759 would smack me if I were that mom or dad, and the illustrations are 110 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.720 just that's great. The illustrations woman named Sherry Palmer from Scotland. She's the 111 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.560 one who did them Scotland. Good morning, Dave and Jenny, but also 112 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:12.360 not today because it's Bailey. Longtime listeners show BFF even though you don't know 113 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.959 it. I hate that Drake left, but I hate more is the cryptic 114 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.480 way things have to be explained. I get it though. It's about feelings. 115 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:23.839 Being PC Corporation, iHeart YadA YadA, and you guys are in the 116 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.600 business of entertaining the masses, so you got to try not to piss anybody 117 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.920 off. But in instance is a change. I think people will always feel 118 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.120 left out because we think we know you guys as friends that we spend a 119 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.639 lot of time with, and it feels crappy when you're being left out of 120 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:41.160 a conversation and a friendship. So hang in there. The questioning will end 121 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.480 and the show will go on, like Dave says, and that's one of 122 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.839 the things. I totally get it people think of all of us as friends 123 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.800 because I always like to say, hey, if we're going to sit down 124 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:56.120 at Fridays and have apps together, we'd probably get along really well, because 125 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.600 you know, if you listen to this show, you and I have a 126 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:05.000 lot of We're both super funny, we're both very charming, we have a 127 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.279 lot to say, and we're super charming. Did I say charming? A 128 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.560 lot to say that? I say that was much. Yeah, we're super 129 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.759 duper charming. That being said, I truly appreciate the constant that is Dave 130 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.240 Ryan all the freaking changes, and thank god we still get Dave. Thank 131 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.000 you Dave for being that reliable constant for us loyal listeners. We ain't dumb, 132 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.279 we know life changes and people move on. Just want to get a 133 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.240 staff writer sticker? No, ha ha kidding, but yeah, can you 134 00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.679 please send me one long story longer? Wanted to thank you Dave. Hanging 135 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.159 in there, Love you, Jenny, staff writer sticker pending Kim in Arlington, 136 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:43.600 Minnesota. Thanks. Arlington's like down on its way to Pipestone? Am 137 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.159 I right about that? I don't know where Arlington is. I've heard of 138 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.360 it. I think it's on its way to Pipestone. It sounds Southy. 139 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.360 You don't know what you're talking about now, Arlington. Thanks for being agreeable. 140 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.440 Thanks for yeah, thanks Kim, And you know what I I trust 141 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.360 me that there's a lot of pressure on me to make everything good with the 142 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.879 show, but I like to say it's nothing that I haven't done before. 143 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.840 Every time somebody leaves, people say it's gonna suck, and then they're always 144 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.039 surprised that they like the new person. Trust me, We're never going to 145 00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.600 hire an asshole or somebody that you don't like. Oh wait, there was 146 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.480 Steve Lttark. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We had Steve on earlier. 147 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.240 We love Steve Kaying and hit the lead on that one. Let's go to 148 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:37.919 the next one. Okay. I'm listening to the Minnesota Goodbye podcast from March 149 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.759 eighteenth, and Drake is saying, fumbling the bag. I would have not 150 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.600 guessed what he meant to me. That would be like a hand job and 151 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.240 playing with the balls of some guy. Wow, Liz, let's see how 152 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.480 this goes. He started talking about the Saint Patti's Day festival in New London, 153 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.840 Wisconsin, and some guy he liked was there and I was like, 154 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.360 oh, get it, boy, and then it was a huge let down. 155 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.399 Is that really a term or is this a Drake term? What the 156 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.919 hell does that even mean? Fumbling the bag. Drake was good at coming 157 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.799 up with like what non sequiturs? Like the real thing though? Is it? 158 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.039 What is it mean? Fumbling the bag means like you messed it up? 159 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:13.879 Mess it up? Yeah, gosh, I was. I was really 160 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.320 gonna do well at this speech, but I fumbled the bag and you messed 161 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.639 up a speech. Okay, it makes sense. I've never heard that one, 162 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.080 but I'm glad, Liz that your mind went to a hand job. 163 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.919 So, uh, one more thing. I texted this in but got no 164 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.840 response. Since I don't have other social media other than a lockdown private Facebook, 165 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.720 can you explain this follow me thing that everyone says. Do people get 166 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.320 money if they get a certain amount of followers or why do people want them 167 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.799 to follow them all the time? I guess I value my privacy, but 168 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.039 they thought it was interesting that Tony, who was filling in the other day 169 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.960 wants followers. I'm just curious, since again I don't do Instagram, TikTok 170 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.480 et, cetera. I know Drake gets money streaming, so I'm curious how 171 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.120 it works as an outsider. Happy Monday now Thursday, Liz. Well, 172 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.879 it's a It's a funny question, Liz, because to people who do social 173 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.519 media. It's so simple what follow me means and why you want them. 174 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:13.039 But Bailey is here to explain briefly why people want follows. Yes, so 175 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.799 your follower count actually does it could get you paid eventually, because the more 176 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.679 people who view your content or your posts or whatever you put on your social 177 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.679 media, the more people view it, the more likely you'll be able to 178 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.519 monetize on that post. So like, if you get eight thousand followers in 179 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.039 one day and twenty seven thousand people like one of your videos, then you 180 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.519 could potentially make money on that video. I would also say it's kind of 181 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.200 a bragging, right, It's kind of like, you know, I've got 182 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.440 I make a little bit of money off of my Instagram through like you know, 183 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.600 endorsements and things like that. But it's just fun to say, like, 184 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.480 oh, I posted something and I got some new likes. So even 185 00:11:54.519 --> 00:12:00.480 if you don't do it for profit, it's just kind of like bragging, 186 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:01.559 you know what I mean. You're like, oh, no big deal, 187 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.360 but he yeah followers, Okay, next one, And like I said, 188 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.320 there's a bunch of these, I like, I wanted to get through this 189 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.600 one. Don't use my name. Good morning to the most relatable people on 190 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.120 the radio. I'm listening to the Minnesota Goodbye. You're talking about Dave's friend 191 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.279 who feels unappreciated. Brief recap. I was talking to a friend of mine 192 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.679 and they are married, they've got kids, they've got step grandkids, they 193 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.399 get a lot of friends. They do everything for everybody, and nobody ever 194 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:31.799 does anything for them. And I said, that's kind of a mom thing. 195 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.720 I think, Yeah, I think a lot of moms do that. 196 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.600 My group of besties have talked about this a few times over the years, 197 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:43.720 most recently after Christmas, when all the kids and husband's Christmas stockings were overflowing 198 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.799 with treats and toys, thoughtfully catered to each child than husband. But us 199 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.399 moms. Out of the six of us, five of us had stockings that 200 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.399 just hung there, deflated and sad, much like our boobs after nursing these 201 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.120 very same lucky children. That's shitty. That takes me so sad. It's 202 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.639 shitty because we hang up as stocking for Susan. Yeah, and I always 203 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.000 make a point to put something in there, you know, Like I think 204 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.600 I got her a magnifying glass that hangs on a chain like a necklace. 205 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.679 Yeah, and I thought it was kind of cute and she acted like she 206 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.720 liked it. And I'll put tic TACs in some gum or whatever. You 207 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.120 know, it has to be a lot, but like something to say I 208 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.879 thought of you at one point in time, yeah, versus like because I've 209 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.440 seen like tiktoks where it's moms who didn't get anything in their stocking and the 210 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.360 husband's like, well, what don't you have anything because I put the stuff 211 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.360 in your stocking? You ding dong. There's this you just reminded me, 212 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.440 Bailey. There's a Saturday Night Live skit where mom gets a robe every years, 213 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.559 like I got a brand new this, I got a brand new this, 214 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.080 I got this, I got a robe. Yes, I know exactly 215 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.279 what one you're talking about. It's so funny. Yes, let's see those. 216 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:58.000 The one that had been filled was because she had a conversation with her 217 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.320 husband saying she does so all the Christmas shopping, wrapping, decorating, food 218 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.759 planning, cookie baking, blah blah blah, the only thing she asked for 219 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.639 in return is to fill her Christmas stocking. That conversation was the result of 220 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.919 one Christmas morning spent crying because she was burnout and unappreciated. Unappreciated. A 221 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.120 little effort and appreciation go a long way. So if you are a mom 222 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.720 and don't get appreciated, you're not alone and doesn't make it okay. If 223 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.919 you are the partner of a mom, make sure you show her some appreciation. 224 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.879 Yes, please, the moms deserve it. They do all of everything. 225 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.720 They bring the life into the world. No, it's true. Speaking 226 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.480 of appreciation, thank you Dave for the staff Rider sticker and the Dave Ryan 227 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.080 stickers. They're proudly displayed on my garage fridge, so it makes me smile 228 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.799 every time I pull in the garage. I always catch I often catch myself 229 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.840 thinking I can't believe he actually took time out of his day to send those. 230 00:14:54.919 --> 00:15:00.679 So thank you again, and that is it. Thank you very much 231 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.440 for that email. I'm going to hit delete. We got a bunch more. 232 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.080 We'll get to as many as we can and see what happens. And 233 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.639 I'm clicked, and there's always tomorrow. I have a question you guys. 234 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.639 You ever had a reading from Gary Spivey where he comes in and does something 235 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.200 anything come true or not come true? The reason I ask is because I 236 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.679 had a psychic reading recently. It was quite interesting, but I'm not sure 237 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:24.960 what to make out of everything. Have a good day, thanks for the 238 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.919 daily entertainment. And she says, don't say my name, so I'll be 239 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.720 careful not to Gary. Without getting into the story, I've told it a 240 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.320 million times. He had a message from my dad after my dad died that 241 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.840 only my dad would know. He's like, your dad's been trying to talk 242 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.399 to me. He said to tell you this, and I'm like, there's 243 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.879 no way. And Gary treats it so casually, in the same way that 244 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.399 you and I can tell time. We'll look at a clock and go, 245 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.679 oh, well, it's eight fifteen. Gary sometimes does that so casually and 246 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.360 he doesn't go look at that. I was right everybody, But at the 247 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:06.600 same time, he's missed a lot. You know, he's he's he doesn't 248 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:11.039 get everything right, but I don't. If he really was right all the 249 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.320 time, he would be the president of the world, right, Yeah, 250 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.960 because I had one reading one time and that did not come true. But 251 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:22.639 I feel like when you get a psychic reading, you're it's more for the 252 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.080 experience, okay, And it's just I mean, it's kind of like a 253 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.559 fun thing sort of because it's like a weird like a circus act kind of 254 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.320 thing, like, ooh, this is exciting, Like tarot cards kind of 255 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.519 feels the same way. It's like an experience, but you can take whatever 256 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.639 you want from it, and maybe whatever you get from it is actually going 257 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.840 to be helpful to you. So I know that Gary has told me a 258 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:47.320 couple of times. He's like, some people, you know, come in 259 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.120 for fun, and some people are such believers. They'll come in and they'll 260 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.159 they can't afford all of it on their credit card, so they'll put part 261 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.600 on a credit card, parting on a check, and part in cash, 262 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.080 and then part on another credit card, and he'll lower the price a little 263 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.399 bit, like you know what, I don't want you to spend your last 264 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.880 dime. So here we go, Dave. I know Jenny is out, 265 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.480 so I wouldn't want you to be left without content and someone to riff with. 266 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.480 I want to give a PSA for ergonomic keyboards and mouses. Well, 267 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.359 let's find out. I've worked computer job for a few years. I'm thirty 268 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.759 two, and I recently googled why do my fingers fall asleep when holding my 269 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.799 cell phone? At night. My fingers fall asleep when I'm in bed scrolling. 270 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:32.200 Google claims it's carpal tunnel. Well. I finally bought an ergonomic mouse 271 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.039 and keyboard, and my hands are already starting to feel better. Although the 272 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.400 ergonomic mouse is a little difficult to get used to, it's worth it. 273 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:41.759 Do you use these? I just figured it might spark some conversation. I 274 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:48.200 appreciate that. I don't. I've seen the ergonomic keyboards, don't they have 275 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:51.960 letters Like they're slanted, like it's almost shaped like a V. Oh, 276 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:55.799 yeah, I know what the mouse is. It's like it doesn't move, 277 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.440 so you keep your hand in one place and there's like this ball that spins, 278 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.200 okay, and you just spin the ball with like your thumb and then 279 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.279 you click with your pointer finger. And those throw me off because I'm so 280 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.880 used to the other kind of mouse, So I don't use anything erganomic except 281 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:17.279 for my office chair. How so it's like for lumbar support, like the 282 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:21.119 back of it is. Yeah, it's nice. It's nice, but that 283 00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.599 means I can't slouch as much, which is eh. It's a bummer. 284 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.240 Take some leaves, iime, I guess, but you know, I don't 285 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.960 notice you slouch. I'm gonna tell you we can probably save this for the 286 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.200 air because I thought it was really interesting and write it down. Here kneel 287 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:41.279 while proposing. So I saw I saw this too. I saw the tick 288 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.359 about if you like rest your elbows on your or you slouch when you're kneeling 289 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.359 and rest your elbows on your knee, that that's an ick. There was 290 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.559 a woman who is quite attractive, Yes, and I think she's doing it 291 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.640 just to provoke people. And she's probably twenty five or thirty. And she's 292 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:02.599 like, here is my made your ick. If a guy proposes to me, 293 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.640 you get on one knee and you put your back straight up in the 294 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:10.160 air and you hold that ring out like a prince. Yes, you don't 295 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:15.759 slouch and bend over and hold and and so she gave an example and she 296 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:21.680 said, look back at your proposal videos and see whether your boyfriend proposed with 297 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:26.599 a slouchy neal or he was erect on one knee and then the other knee 298 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.599 was like up on his foot. And she said, I'd be done. 299 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.640 And I'm like, you're a bit, you're a you're a terrible person. 300 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.759 You should be so happy that I mean hopefully you will be happy, yea, 301 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:40.440 posing right, you should be if you're in love and whatever. The 302 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:41.799 last thing, and that's what the comment said, is that what you saw 303 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.799 too. You're a terrible person if that's what you're thinking. Yeah, it 304 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.039 was. I thought that was so funny though, And that was such like 305 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.960 a hot button topic on TikTok the other day. Everyone was talking about it. 306 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.440 We're going to bring that up on the show because I probably I just 307 00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:57.680 saw it today. It's been up for a couple of days though. Yeah, 308 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.680 okay, Yeah, the way she did it, the like how she 309 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.720 did it and showed off, it was kind of like, oh that is 310 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:08.200 kind of it's like being princely versus like gollum. Yeah. I mean yeah, 311 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:12.759 it was a good lesson. But I don't think there's anybody who to 312 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:17.519 someone who is slouching. Yeah. Side note, I finally decided to stick 313 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.680 my staff writer sticker to my standing desk, along with a couple of brewery 314 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:25.000 stickers I had and didn't know what to do with staff writer Sidney. Thank 315 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.720 you, Sydney. I'm gonna hit the lead on that one too. Writing 316 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:34.119 to chime in with the Minnesota Goodbye about sharing your pregnancy news to family who 317 00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:38.079 is possibly going to get upset. Something I learned that I wanted to pass 318 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:44.640 along. You cannot be responsible for other people's feelings, reactions, emotions too 319 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.039 of their own to process. This is especially true when you had good intentions 320 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:52.839 as to why you're not ready to share such personal and private news. Coming 321 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.000 from someone who is very much a people pleaser, I wish i'd heard that 322 00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.440 advice earlier, that you can't make everyone happy, and you are not being 323 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.559 an asshole by not sharing. They're kind of being an assholes expecting to be 324 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.599 the first to know if tables were turned, would you expect to hear from 325 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:12.680 them first? Sending good vibes for your pregnancy congratulations. I think that must 326 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:17.480 have been in response to something that Jenny and Drake talked about on Monday. 327 00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:21.400 Yeah, I can't recall, and I think that I get what she's saying. 328 00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:25.160 In the gist is if you don't tell your sister right away or your 329 00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:29.319 cousin right away that you're pregnant, sure, then they get upset, but 330 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:32.920 like it's your news, so like it's your news to keep to yourself as 331 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:38.480 well totally, And then she gives some advice on senile Dogs that I absolutely 332 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:44.119 consider and I appreciate that because Josie, my girl, is fifteen, and 333 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:48.119 she's just not herself anymore. And she's just the sweetest, but she's just 334 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:51.119 kind of not herself anymore. And that is going to wrap it up. 335 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:52.759 Maybe you've got time for one more? One more? Yeah, we have 336 00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.720 on the Minnesota Goodbye. Let me see you. I can find a shorter 337 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.279 one. Okay, I'll try to do this one. Want to share how 338 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.359 much I love the Dave Ryan Show and how you had a significant impact on 339 00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:07.839 my career in life. Back in twenty ten or so, I was listening 340 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.000 to you in Fargo, North Dakota. You're playing a twenty twenty question game 341 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.799 where listeners try to win a prize if you can guess their profession. A 342 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:21.279 listener called in and they won because she was a surgical technologist and nobody could 343 00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.920 figure it out. You then had them describe what they do in a day, 344 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:27.519 and you were curious and it piqued my interest. I was taking a 345 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:32.400 break from college and didn't know what to do. I ended up looking into 346 00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:37.240 that career and now I am a certified surgical technologist and I have been one 347 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.759 for over a decade. I get to speak at colleges and high schools and 348 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.920 the Twin Cities doing the research and education, and I always shout out the 349 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.480 Dave Ryan Show when I'm asked how I learned about and got into the world 350 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.799 of surgery. Wow, is that cool? That's so neat. I can't 351 00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.519 thank you enough for positive impact you've had on my life. I still listen 352 00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.359 every day. I even got to be on the show seven years ago and 353 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.359 shared my story. It was a dream come true. I remember that now 354 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:06.759 that you bring it up. If you ever want me to share my story, 355 00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.119 you get in the show, I'll be there regardless. I want to 356 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:14.319 drop you this message to remind you how much us listeners appreciate all you do. 357 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.480 And that is from Sarah. I'm going to write you back, Sarah 358 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.640 and say thank you for saying thank you, because that is that's very sweet 359 00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:23.400 and I love that. And now we're done. You got anything else, 360 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.359 Dad, That's all? That's all, she wrote.
