And here we go with today's Minnesota goodbyes, Sylvia. We're diving right in,
and she said, I'm a big fan. I wanted to point out
a couple of things that were recently talked about on the show. First,
your answer to about whether Justin Timberlake could have possibly broken up with Britney via
cell phone text in two thousand and two, Jenny and I speculated did they
even have texting in two thousand and two? She says, this is one
thousand percent plausible. The Nokia thirty two to ten was released in nineteen ninety
nine, one of the most popular phones in history. One hundred and sixty
million were sold of this one model. And basically she goes on for a
little bit with some details of the history, and she said, I could
assume a very high likelihood that most celebrities had cell phones in the early two
thousands. I had an OKEA in two thousand and three, and so basically
I think what she is saying is, yes, it is absolutely plausible that
on that unit you could text. So that settles that one got it thing
stuck in my mind. You guys keep saying you found the mind meld game
online, but you actually had a caller call in several weeks ago that tried
to teach you the game. I think it was on No Phone Screener Friday,
but none of you could figure out what the directions the caller was trying
to tell you. I bet that listener feels like Fallon did when Dave says
he found something months after she recommended it to him. That's all I got
for you. Keep up the great work from Sylvia. I do remember that
listener calling in us trying to play the game. The thing is is that
we were doing it too quickly, because I've heard of that game before.
I maybe that listener made it up themselves, but maybe they also saw it.
But I've heard of that game before. I'm almost positive two years ago
already. We tried to do just a video of us playing it, and
it didn't work out that well. The problem though, on the No Phone
Screener Friday one was we were doing it too fast. We weren't giving ourselves
a second to think, and so we were just like, go, go
go, and it wasn't working, and so we just were like, we
got to move on. We're gonna try it right now. Think of a
word, Jenny and I are going to play mind meld yep. So you
think of a word, then you try to get within three or four steps
each other to say the word. You ready, three two one rain Rain,
I said, logo, okay, three two one, Okay, three
to one. Minnesota goodbye. Shoot, we're both going. I'm going toward
you. You're going towards me. So you said Minnesota, goodbye. I
said weather three two one, podcast, try one more. You said thunder.
I said podcast three to one, call her daddy. Air You said
airplane crash. Just say, don't you listen to an airplane crash podcast?
I do, That's what I do. And I said call her daddy.
So all right, we didn't mind meld that up, all right. Next
says first of all, Amber says, thank you for I want wanted to
let you know how much I love you. Guys. You're my morning coffee
in the morning and evening cocktail when I get home from Keep doing the great
work you do and never ever change. Wanted to write in with a situation
about my coworker who turned into a friend. There's a twenty year age difference
between us, but I've always felt we were kindred spirits past year has been
hard on her. She's been in the process of going through divorce. It
ended very smoothly and civilly, but ever since she's been separated, she's been
bouncing around, chatting with ex boyfriends from her past, flirting, trying to
rekindle something. I am not here to judge. My fear is that she
doesn't want to and she is afraid to be single. I don't know why
people are afraid of that. I enjoyed single life when I was. Anyway,
now, whenever we get together or even when we're a partial text me
about this new guy in her life, and then she goes into depth of
her love for them out of the blue. This is annoying because I will
get paragraphs on paragraphs of nothing but stories about them on repeat on how their
relationship has escalated. There's no hey, how you doing, Just dive right
into it. I know she's happy, she's finally getting attention that was lacked
in her marriage, but she never asked about me or what's new in my
life anymore. I'm happy for her, but there is a time and place
for everything. And from what I hear from another old coworker, she openly
discusses it in public about her love life. I need to set boundaries,
but just thought it was so interesting but a little sad as well. I
don't know if you're looking for a comment. It doesn't say what do you
think? Or what should I do? So I don't know that you're looking
for a comment. But I will say she'll never change. Yeah, some
people have empathy and some people do not. Some people are a little bit
more self centered. And you can remind her, hey, you never ask
about me, and she'll go like, oh my god, I'm so sorry,
how are you? Next time she'll do the exact same thing. Yeah,
I would say that, like, I have a couple people in my
life that maybe are dealing with some stuff lately, and so I am kind
of the person that they come to and talk to about things, and they
don't really ask me about anything else going on in my life. And but
I give them a pass right now because they're dealing with stuff and it's like
that's what their world is revolving around, and so I don't really take offense.
If it is a continuous thing in years to come, I probably will
eventually be like, hey, do you mind seeing what's going on in my
life? And you're such a good listener, because Jenny is one of those
people that you know, I'm gonna be honest with you. When Fallon was
on the show, Fallon and I were both guilty of this, and I'd
be like, fallin, last night, I had the worst night, Susan
and I got an argument about and She'll go uh huh uh huh uh huh,
and I could tell she wasn't really listening. But then she would tell
me the same thing, like, you know, last night, Jake and
I had the worst night. He had diarrhea andh blah blah blah, And
I'll go, uh huh uh huh uh huh. But Jenny actually listens,
must I will. I know when I'm at fault to not listen. And
it's only because if you come in and I'm doing like show prep stuff before
the show starts, I'm half listening. In those moments, I'm trying to
give you as much attention, but I'm also like reading about news articles we
need to be up on or something like that. So those are the moments
where you might get some of those uh huh. Yeah, okay, cool.
I'm glad you and saw Susan r Are good now, No, no,
And that's what I do is I think that I can multitask, so
You'll be telling me a story, or Foul would tell me a story,
or even Drake, and I'd be like, uh huh, uh huh while
I'm trying to send an email and I purposely think I am able to do
it, but then I go, I have no idea what they just said.
I never get mad at people, truthfully, when I can tell that
they're not listening. I just stopped the conversation and I said, hey,
are you listening, because Andrew, my boyfriend's so guilty of it. And
I will say, hey, are you listening right now, and he'll look
up and he'll be like, no, honestly, I wasn't. And I
was like, that's fine. I'm going to just start over. And I
never get mad because I think every single person is guilty of half paying attention
to something or getting distracted by their phone, and I do it too,
so it's like, I'm not going to get mad at you. But if
I am like telling a story and then Andrew gets distracted in the middle of
it, then I get a little bit frustrated, like I had his attention
and then he got distracted when I got to some really juicy deats and then
he just gives me the uh huh. And I'm like, you were you
would have made a comment on that. You just reminded me, Jinny,
I don't know what reminded me, but I saw a video or a reel
yesterday and for something you just said just reminded me. So it's a guy
who is saying, there is a guaranteed way to have your girlfriend pick the
restaurant when you're going out. Yeah, so it's always a cliche. Where
do you want to go? Oh, I don't care. Where do you
want to go? Well, I really don't care. Where do you want
to go? Do you want to go to Pittsburgh Blue? Yeah, that's
fine with me. Well where do you want to So here's what you do.
So let's say that you and I are going on a date. Okay,
guess where we're going for Guess where we're going for dinner? Are we
going to Pana Express? Yes? Oh my god, I can't believe I
guessed it right. And so because and I think it's kind of clever,
And it was this young couple demoing it in the car and it was actually
really funny. He's going, guess where we're going for dinner? And she
said apple Bee's and he's like, yeah, how did you know? Oh
my god, our mines are really clicking tonight. Yeah. I thought that
was really clever. I think the funny thing is with like my relationship right
now, Susan genuinely doesn't care. But we have our favorites, so we
don't really you know, we go to Ikes, or we go to Buffalo
Wild Wings or go to Kai's whatever. Next email, Hello, my favorite
morning show from Nicole. Just listen to a ten twenty four show Tuesday.
Dave. Happy belated birthday, Jenny and Dave with the utmost love and affection
for you too. I am appalled that you guys don't wash new clothes when
you get them. The lady wrote in about not washing her blanket. Wrong
husband, right, Yes, I watch everything that is new before I wear
it or use it. I'm wearing a new sweater today. Oh wear a
new shirt today. You know when I saw that that color is beautiful on
you? That is your color, Jenny, because it is a bright but
not overly bright lime green shirt. That is your color. Thank you.
That is seriously you should throw away every article of clothing you have. And
by just neon lime green, that looks really beautiful. Next one, Backve,
how did the Colorado house project and in the basement end up? It's
been interesting. There was a lot of water in the basement, it grew
mold. There was mushrooms growing in the basement on the carpet. They ripped
out everything. It's not exaggerating, by the way. When he says mushrooms
were growing in the carpet, he's literally, that's actually what was happening.
Because I know Dave makes jokes sometimes, but that's what was actually happening.
Literally, mushrooms that looked like potato chips growing out of the carpet. I'd
never seen anything like it. They took all the mold out, they put
in drain tiles, and now we're waiting for somebody to start. I think
on Monday. Take a few days to put everything back that they had to
rip out, like door frames and sheet rock and dry wall and that type
of thing. So thank you for asking. Okay, Next one, Dave,
where did you get the inspiration for your mouthful of food voice? You
used to make fun of people? It's the same voice every time for old
and Abisco, for Jenny Bean boring, or for stereo tip, lazy people,
et cetera. This is from Joe Gonzalez and he is in Turlock,
California. The voy shot us is this one. It's like, okay,
so anywhere I don't really feel like gearing up off the couch, I'm gonna
shit here and eat Freido Scoops for the rest of the afternoon. I don't
know. I don't think I came up with that. I don't know where
I heard it. Yeah, I don't know if it came from Steve.
I don't think. I don't know where I got it. I don't really
think. No, it wasn't Steve. Yeah, yeah, I don't think
so. So I is you like a kind of a you're breathing through your
mouth because you're like, you know, like you're lazy. And it's definitely,
I'll be honest with you, it's definitely like an obese kind of a
vibe. But it's also gon be for like we're Oh, you know where
I think I got it? Where from The War of the Roses classic episode
where the woman goes, my good hesion my freak stuff should be no,
my good easion, my freak Nashty should be good enough for him. Do
you remember that one? I do remember that one, I guess I just
don't remember the voice as well. It was a woman who called in for
War the Roses and he was cheating, and she said something on the phone
that we just thought was so fucking stupid. My Goodsian, my freak Nashty
should be good enough for him, and it was like, I'm sorry,
they just sound gross. They just sound they just sound gross. Anyway,
I think that's where we got it, but I don't really know. Thanks
for the question. And that one is not a Minnesota goodbye, and neither
is this one, and neither is that one. Here is one Nope.
That is basically yeah, okay, we're gonna move on to this one.
Sorry about that. Listen to Dave Ryan Show for twenty years. I was
way too young to listen to War the Roses. Huge fans since my first
listen. I look forward to his show every day and love capation up on
the podcast. For the staff writer that wrote in about waiting for her sign
from her grandmother that recently passed, I have a story that involves Katie Abdb
that might have been a sign from my grandmother. I was listening to your
show getting ready for my grandma's funeral. You were playing the mixtape game and
the category was something about a sad song or something that touches you. Tina
picked the song Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran. That song is about his grandmother,
who had recently passed, written in the perspective of his mom. I
played that song for my mom and she wanted that song to be played at
grandma's funeral. So that morning, as I was getting ready for a funeral,
I heard that song in the radio. I got chills when I heard
it and immediately started crying. I actually had a hard time composing myself to
continue to get ready. It felt like it might have been a sign for
my grandma. I have a hard time believing things like that, especially something
small like that, but that's what faith is, I guess, second guessing,
but choosing to believe anyway. Wanted to share with you all and the
staff writer who said that she was waiting for a sign. It might not
be anything big, but might bring some comfort if you choose to believe that
even the small things could be a sign. Also, I'm sorry for their
loss. I hope they can find some comfort in the memories they share with
their grandma. Show recommendation and here we go. Watched it last year at
this time. Surprise people never talked about it because I thought it was great.
It's by the same people who did the Haunting of Hill House. It
is called Midnight Mass on Netflix. It's old, but I thought it was
worth a mention. It's a good creepy show for Halloween weekend. Sorry,
Jenny, because you don't like them, don't And that is from Janice and
Janie. Thank you very much. How are we doing for time, Jenny?
Oh, we got a couple of minutes left. Let me check here
and see. Okay, good, All right, let's go on to another
email. I want to delete that one so I don't read it tomorrow,
thinking it's brand new. Here we go, Hey, guys, Thinking the
other day about the kind of skills I want to make sure my kids learn
as they grow up. You can think of the everyday stuff like laundry and
cooking, But what are things that people don't use or do anymore that is
still important enough to teach kids. I thought of how to properly address an
envelope or check because some things still have to be sent in the mail.
Mail. I also now that a growing number of households have electric cars now
are in the future, and you might have to go out of your way
to teach your kids to pump gas. Driving stick used to be there,
but that's pretty much obsolete. Okay. By the way, electric cars are
not selling like they hoped, So there's a big statement from the former head
of Toyota that said, I told you so. People don't want electric cars
because of the limited mileage and the fact that you have to charge them.
So are they the answer to our energy and global warming problems? No?
But I would say change a tire. Learn how to change a tire,
because one day, if you learn how to change a tire, you'll be
glad. You know, if Carson had to change a tire, he wouldn't
even know where to find the spare tire. Neither. Well, I could
find the spare tire, but outside of that, I couldn't tell you anything
else. What other skills should you learn? I think basic cooking skills so
you're not limited to like hamburger, helper and hot dogs. Yeah. I
think that's a good one. Probably just how to use simple household items,
like I just feel like some people don't even know how to use attachments on
vacuums, like I remember my vacuum Andrews like, I don't know how to
do this, so I can't use this. And I'm like, it's not
that hard, like I showed him. But I think some people give up
on simple things like that. That's a good question we could use. We
could do that on the facebook page, the Day Ryan Show facebook page.
What basic skill should a kid learn today? Other than laundry and cooking?
I would say, also hang how to hang something heavy on a wall?
How do you do? You know how to hang something heavy at all?
And not good at that? I actually just had Andrew hang this heavier mirror
that I ordered for our bedroom and with the anchors, and you know,
I've seen it done before. I know you have to drill a hole in
and then you put the first like kind of plasticy screw in and then you
put the actual metal screw in to that. Yeah, but I feel like
I always make the hole too big or something like that, so I,
yeah, I'm not great at that. That is a good one I've taught
Carson several times. I don't think that he could do it, but that
is one of my such a satisfying thing to do, because we've all done
the thing where you take a hammer, you hammered into the dry wall,
you put something on it, and after a couple of months it falls off
because it doesn't have the strength, and then the holes big and the holes
big, and it looks like crap. But if you put a wall anchor
in there with a drill, then you tap, tap, tap, you
make the hole small because you can always make the hole bigger, but you
can't make it smaller. So then you tap the wall anchor in and then
you put the screw in. Now you've got something that's not coming out of
the wall, and so I think that's a big skill. I don't know,
that might be it. If you got any other suggestions, let us
know. And thanks for emailing the Minnesota Goodbye,
