Minnesota. Goodbye. We're gonna start off with Jamie for Massola. She says,
you can say my name. My friend Sherry and I stopped by your
booth on Saturday at the fair. It was by far the highlight of our
day meeting you all. I met Drake and Jenny last year at a community
mental health event, and I must say, it gets easier to talk to
you the second time around. I was not a star struck. Let's see,
I was not a star struck. Okay, Dave Ryan on the other
hand of elizab for twenty two years or so, and I've never seen Dave
in person. I was absolutely starstruck. I felt so weird because I couldn't
stop staring. But it's surreal seeing your voice in person. If it makes
sense, absolutely I get it. I understand. I couldn't stop smiling by
my husband and Sherry reminisce with Dave on an event I get in ninety seven
at Big Apple Bagels in Forest Lake. I remember that event for sure.
You three were so personable and easy to talk to. I just wanted to
know you to know how much we enjoyed meeting you and would love if you
could give a Minnesota. Goodbye. Shout out to my friend Sherry as it's
her fortieth birthday today on August twenty eight. Happy birthday, Sherry. It
was a delight meeting both of you. Happy birthday. Thank you Jamie,
Thank you Sherry. I appreciate that one. Next one, it says,
show idea. Okay, okay, let's see what we got here. This
could be interesting. I felt like I feel like I write it every other
day, So feel free to block me in any time. This is from
Shaleen. No, I will not, because I appreciate it. I'm putting
in a pickup order and read the reviews on this flat bread. I'm cracking
up reading the one I attached. I thought it'd be a fun game for
you guys to play. One of you writes fake reviews and then you read
real ones like this, and people have to try to guess whether you're reading
one that you wrote or if it's a real one. This is brilliant like
it. I think their websites dedicated to funny reviews, and I'm sure you
guys would be able to come up with one as hilarious ones as well.
Have a great week from Shay. So here's an example, one star out
of five. Horrible product and experience. Perhaps the worst things, the worst
thing I ever had in my mouth. Tastes like boiled and dried out old
lady skin. That is super mealy. I bought two with cash, threw
away the receipt and tried to return, but they refused to take them back.
Threw them away in the store. Buy or beware. Wow. I
wish I knew what it was reviewing, but no, write that down,
Jenny. Jenny is like the note take her on the show. Because if
I don't say, Jenny, write it down, I will remember that I
had a good idea, or that I saw a good idea from Shay,
but I won't remember what it is. So thank you Shay got it written
down. I do. So I'm wondering if the one she sent in was
what she said she was ordering, because didn't you say flatbread earlier? So
is that about the flatbread? Makes sense totally, it makes sense. So
thank you, Shay. Great idea. We will do that one next one.
Congratulations Jenny, and fallon. I'm gonna make it short and sweet.
Wedding venue and catered shopping is so much harder than it needs to be ninety
seven percent of places hide their pricing behind request forms and take too long to
respond. There's no way that everything recompeting venue and caterer doesn't have accounts on
the Knot and other sites asking for pricing from all their competitors. Each year,
it's twenty twenty three. Get a website with transparent pricing and let me
make decisions based on that without fake automated responses and hoops to jump through.
We are crossing vendors off our list because of how much work it takes to
get a price. At this point, has anyone else run into this?
Thanks Start and Lick and that is from They don't say their name, so
I'll keep their name off of there. So they mean, if you go
on the Knot and you want to get a wedding venue, yeah, they
say, oh, tell us why you want to make whatever and make a
request and we'll get back to you with pricing. Yeah. It's like it's
there's so many websites that do that nowadays that you have to send them your
email, You send them what you're interested in, and then they finally send
over pricing eventually. Sometimes they even have like a sales call with you at
first, I completely I don't know exactly what she's going through with wedding planning
stuff. But there are different situations, like a lot of trainers don't put
their pricing out there for people, so then you like, they do their
sales pitch and they try to hook you, and then all of a sudden,
it's like, oh, by the way, it's going to be five
thousand dollars for three sessions. Here you go, Okay, that's an exaggeration,
but that's what a lot of people do because they think that they can
give you their whole sales pitch and hook you and then tell you the pricing
afterwards, when we really just want to know what the price is. I
would maybe compare it to going in to buy a car and you see the
sticker price, but maybe you don't know what the price is. You can't.
I don't know, but that does suck. And I don't blame you
for blocking the companies that won't give you, but that must be the method
now. It is. Like Another example was when we went to to Loom
for a bachelor at party for my girlfriend this year. I helped with trying
to find we were trying to book like this yacht split between all of us.
It really wasn't that expensive. But every single company you had to send
in your email, your information, your dates of when you wanted it before
you could even get a response and an idea of what the pricing was.
And that was so frustrating. I was like, why don't you just have
it upfront because we can't afford something that is so outrageously priced. Why bother
to like try to suck you in if you're gonna find out eventually you can't
afford it, right? All right? Next one, and says Rebecca,
I am wondering why KDWB plays a talk show on Sunday mornings that is usually
filled with serious topics and interviews. I know that many radio stations switched to
either a religious music or something like this on Sundays. However, it seems
like if someone's turning on the radio station for KWB, they're looking for today's
hit music. It seems like a really good day to turn listeners away toward
a competitor. Just wondering what the thought is behind having such different sounding shows
on Sunday mornings. Thank you. There used to be a rule from the
Federal Communications Commission FCC that said you must serve the public interest, and we
still have to and part of that is broadcasting what they call public interest programming,
and so you have to do interviews. You used to have to do
religious programming. I don't think we're required to do religious programming, but when
I was first in radio, they would do religious programming. You were required
to buy the FCC, so a lot of radio stations would play it.
At midnight on a Sunday night, there was something called power Line, which
is a very hip, progressive religious show. People would write in and it
was easy to listen to and they would play Christian pop music. But power
Line went away years ago, probably twenty years ago. But I think sometimes
radio stations still are required to do programming in the public interest on Sunday.
You bury it on Sundays because they the least listen to morning of the week.
People are not getting up early like they are during the week. People
are like on Saturdays, people are still up early because they're gonna go canoeing
or they're going to go to the lake or whatever. But Sunday mornings,
I think they are required to do serious programming in the public frist and that's
why all stations are doing it. Some do at midnight on Sunday. They
buried at eleven o'clock on Sunday. But that's probably why. Yeah, I
think that's it A good question though. Going to hit delete on that so
I don't wonder later whether I read it. Okay, So hello David,
Jenny, love you both. Please don't say my name. Okay, y'all
talking about mental health resonated with me. This came up last week on the
show. I'd like to say that for people who really needed, medication can
be a miracle. I lived life with anxiety and depression for twenty twenty five
years since I was seventeen. I see a therapist regularly. Big diagnosed with
major depression and chronic are a PTSD and chronic major depression. I've tried many
different meds, at least twelve different kinds. I can remember some work better
than others, but nothing really got me fully out of the slump. A
couple of years ago, I went on a bill if I technically it's an
antipsychotic, I believe, and it changed my life. This is the first
time in my life I feel what I always thought nor would feel like.
It's left me able to function in a way I never could before. My
relationships are stronger and more connected. I made new friends, my work life
is going great. I'm loving being a mom to my seven year old even
more than I had before. I'd just like to urge people who say those
meds don't even work to really see what A specific med may not work with
everyone, but if you can find one that works for you, that is
the best scenario. Thanks so much. I think that's you know, when
I watch these commercials, it's like, are you on an antidepressant that doesn't
work well? Add in this antidepressant and it makes me go, We'll do
any of them really work? And I think some just don't work. And
she kind of attested that one she was on twelve different ones that she can
remember some work better than others. So it's just interesting to get people's experience.
Because we were talking about mental health and medications. We've talked about klonopin
extensively last week on the show because I was on klonopin and it's a very
powerful anti anxiety that I compared to letting the water out of the bathtub.
You feel it drain out of your body when you're on clone up and it
just goes away until swirl, swirl, swirl. It's gone and it's amazing.
Okay, next one hitting to lead on that one. Another one anxiety
catching nut, says dear David flugel Binder and Jenny, which we used to
joke was my real last name. I'm catching up on podcasts. So if
this doesn't make the show, I understand. I have dealt with generalized anxiety
disorder for decades. I've been on meds to manage. No Benzo's the best
thing I have done for myself when I've been super ancious is to float.
Okay, let's read on. Maybe it'll make more sense. Here's a website
for the place in the metro that offers it, Awake Forwellness dot Com.
During the session, you get into a warm tank filled with ten inches of
water and one thousand pounds of epps and salt, making you float atop the
water. You can choose silence or relaxation music, stay on for forty five
to sixty minutes. They are also called sensory deprivation tanks. The experience was
scary at first, but once I was sure that I could open the tank,
freely and it wasn't actually a tomb. It was amazing. It felt
like a mental reset. Leaving after the session in a world with so much
stimuli, it was powerful to just be alone with my thoughts and to release
that negative energy. I am in a school currently for my DNP degree Nurse
Practitioner and encourage people to try non traditional ways to heal themselves along with what
their doctor prescribes. Have a great day. If it works for you,
it works for you, and that isn't going to give it to you again.
Awake for Awaken, Awaken for Wellness dot Com. I'm not here to
plug them. I can't endorse them. I can only say this is what
they recommend. Jenny, we forgot to do something that we promised that we
would do. I know well I was going to bring it up, but
I thought we would say until the very end of this podcast. Let's do
it. So. Dartlick is the t shirts that are selling at the State
Fair, and people are buying these dart Lick shirts. How long have we
got to explain? Dark? You have a minute and twenty seconds. I
can do a lot in a minute twenty seconds. Let's go So Dartlick came
up. Everybody who listens to the Minnesota Could Buy regularly knows the story of
dart lick. So a couple of years ago, when Steva was on the
show, probably in twenty twenty, somebody brought up eating ass. Okay,
now here's where it gets vulgar, and I don't mean to get vulgar,
but that's the way it gives. So Steve said, how do you even
eat ass? Anyway? What do you do? And I said, I
don't know. Dart lick, dart lick, dart lick. And we all
laughed like, oh, dart lick, dart lick, dart lick. And
so that became a phrase of the show. And so now people will sign
off their emails with dart lick. And it's an inside, vulgar, disgusting
joke, and we have it made on a shirt. And so my favorite
picture of the State Fair this weekend is a woman with an angelic face,
she's probably twenty five years old, holding up a dart Lick shirt. And
I thought that poor woman listened to our podcast and found out what daricks is
all about. So yeah, find it online, or yeah, find it
online on Dave Ryan Show dot com. That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye.
Need your emails as always Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
