00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:03.279
On the Minnesota Goodbye. We get
to spend a little bit more time talking

2
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:08.800
about things that we don't necessarily talk
about on the radio, and I,

3
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:13.560
you know what, you talk about
your anxiety, Jenny. And I keep

4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.640
telling Jenny, I said, cheer
the fuck up, just cheer the fuck

5
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:20.600
You do not say that, I
say, I say a lot of get

6
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.920
over it, and then I say
cheer the fuck up, because you and

7
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:29.359
your anxiety is just given me.
No, I'm totally kidding. I'm sure

8
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.800
that there are people who still do
is like, cheer the fuck up.

9
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.560
I mean not in your life,
right, No, I mean there's some

10
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.640
people I deal with not they don't
say cheer the fuck up, but they

11
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.799
do say you get over it.
No, they say you have a really

12
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.159
good life. I don't understand why
you feel this way, And it's really

13
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.200
one of the most frustrating things to
hear because I also don't understand, and

14
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.759
I also acknowledge that I have a
good life. But that doesn't mean that

15
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.679
my mental health can be not just
fucking cheering up, Jenny. I mean,

16
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.079
I've tried cheer fuck up. You're
right, I've tried. I guess

17
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.600
I gotta try harder let's call this
episode cheers the fuck up. No,

18
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:08.200
I don't know anyway. So I
have what I would call situational anxiety if

19
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:14.840
I have a reason. I'm a
pretty happy, well balanced person, and

20
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.079
so are you, by the way, But I get situational anxiety and then

21
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.680
I overthink, and like last night
my speech at the Spectrum High School up

22
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:30.239
in Oak River, I had been
anxious about it because people think of speech

23
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.920
as you get up on stage and
you speak for ten minutes and that's all

24
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.680
there is to it. Well,
No, there's writing and learning about the

25
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:41.879
audience and then customizing and then putting
things in the right order, and then

26
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.599
timing it and then doing it again, and then you wait for your introduction

27
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:51.560
and your heart's pounding and you're and
I'm taking deep breaths, and so I've

28
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.400
been anxious kind of building up to
that last night. Yeah, because one

29
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:00.400
of the reasons that I do public
speaking is because I used to be so

30
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.879
bad at it. And I used
to go out to high schools on career

31
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.799
day when people used to want to
get into radio. Nobody does anymore,

32
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:08.800
but I would go out to high
schools twenty years ago, and I'd be

33
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.240
so nervous in front of a bunch
of sixteen year olds that actually thought I

34
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.280
was pretty cool. And I knew
way more about radio than anybody did,

35
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.919
and I had a lot to offer, but i'd be nervous. So I

36
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.680
joined Toastmasters, which is a dumb
name for a great group, and you

37
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.400
learn how to speak and how to
get experienced, because a lot of it

38
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:34.560
is experience and looking out at faces
while you're speaking. And last night I

39
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.400
got up on stage and I started
with I wanted them to know that I'm

40
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:42.479
funny, because I think I'm hysterical
right away. So they're applauding, Dave

41
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.479
Ryan, everybody. So they're applauding, and I get up on the podium

42
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.360
and I said keep it coming,
keep it coming, and they laugh,

43
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.479
so they knew right away that it
would be funny. And then I made

44
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.800
a joke about I said something about
that didn't go over very well, and

45
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.240
I just kept moving and it didn't
get a laugh, so I just kept

46
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:07.639
moving. And then I made a
joke about how I'm going to keep this

47
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.879
speech short because when I asked chat
Gpt to write this speech, and that

48
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.639
got a big laugh. Because high
school students probably are you using chat che

49
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.560
probably using chat GPT. We got
through the last couple of years of high

50
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.560
school with it, probably so so
anyway, I just want to let you

51
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:30.240
know that I also get very nervous. I don't get nervous to do the

52
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.080
show. I get nervous about some
of the things we do on the show,

53
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.000
but we're well past the part of
where we ever get nervous to do

54
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.120
the show. For sure. I
can get up on stage at the Target

55
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.280
Center and introduce a band and it
doesn't make me nervous. But I can

56
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.560
stand in front of six people to
do a presentation and I get nervous.

57
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.039
Yeah, all right, let's read
our first email. It says, hello

58
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.360
Crewe. Yes, Crewe is in
Dave, Jenny and Bailey and Vaughant.

59
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.439
How exciting to be able to type
that. I just want to say,

60
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.520
I'm so happy for the new additions
to the show. Listening since nineteen ninety

61
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.919
eight and adding Vaunton Bailey provides this
stability in my life I need. As

62
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:10.159
I often joke that the Dave Ryan
Show is my baby Blankie. I have

63
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:14.000
listened so long and I still remember
when the podcasts were new and you could

64
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.800
only hear that morning show on a
continuous repeat on iHeartRadio. That was about

65
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.519
twenty fourteen, and I would clean, cook, and take care of my

66
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:27.519
baby while listening to a Repat repeat
all day long. I wanted to apologize

67
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.560
today for being one of those drunks
who chased him up the hill off the

68
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.639
drag brunch boat in twenty nineteen and
asking him to find my friend a husband.

69
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.920
My bad and still to this day, one of my most embarrassing moments.

70
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.040
For what it's worth, April,
I don't remember that, and I'm

71
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.600
fine and you're good, so don't
be embarrassed about it. I don't remember

72
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.600
it, and I probably thought it
was funny, and we've all done things

73
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.079
when we were drunk, so don't
feel bad about it. I was also

74
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.519
on Dave's podcast when he was interviewing
people in sobriety two years ago. I've

75
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.439
always had a battle with it.
I was still fighting it at the time,

76
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.240
but I am happy to say that
I am ninety six days sober and

77
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:09.879
done for you. Just want to
clarify, I've never had a DUI.

78
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.480
I've never been to treatment, so
I did not have the stereotypical drinking problem.

79
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.600
Society and visions, but I found
myself losing all control with it and

80
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:20.000
not able to stay away. Back
in February, I finally had a moment

81
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.279
to just click, and something in
my head told me, if you don't

82
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:28.399
stop now, it's not a matter
of if you get a DUI or go

83
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.160
to treatment. It's when that little
voice stuck with me, and I just

84
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:38.000
stopped cold turkey, and I do
not miss or desire it even a bit.

85
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.720
That is something I never imagine thinking
or feeling. But here I am

86
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.560
alcohol free with kids, family and
events, and I also won the first

87
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.600
set of tickets to the Summer Cruise
on June eleventh, and I'm beyond hype

88
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.839
to enjoying my first KDWB event free
from alcohol, training for Grandma's half marathon,

89
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.360
as well as loving life again.
Looking forward to June eleventh. Insert

90
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.839
random Minnesota goodbye sign on here.
Reader's choice. I'm going to say dart

91
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.879
Lick April in Cottage Grove, Thank
you, April. I'll give you a

92
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:12.160
one piece of advice, April.
What I've heard, what I've learned now

93
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.319
that you're ninety six days sobered,
dude, please do not get to a

94
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.639
point. And this is your choice
don't get to a point where you'll have

95
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:24.399
just one. If you have just
one, it's kind of like having one

96
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:29.759
cigarette. It's really hard to just
have one. Yeah, So that is

97
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.480
my advice. The longer you can
stay totally alcohol free, the more your

98
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.000
chances are of never drinking again.
And maybe your goal is not to drink

99
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.480
ever again. Maybe your goal is
to just stop for a while. Yeah.

100
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.800
I think a lot of people.
By the sounds of it, she

101
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.199
said it like sounds like it's a
control thing for her, like she wasn't

102
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.319
getting really good at controlling it.
So I think that is more of a

103
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.199
situation where, yeah, you don't
even want to have one, because if

104
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.879
you have one, you'll have two
and three and four. Yeah. No,

105
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.959
it's It's very true. I've had
friends who have stopped over one hundred

106
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.680
days and then they're like, you
know what, damn it, I'm going

107
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.800
to have a drink, and then
they start up again just as much as

108
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:11.399
they drink before. Dara writes in
Hello to the new Morning Show. Love

109
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.279
the announcement of the two editions,
and I can't wait for the new dynamic

110
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.959
commercials on the podcast. It always
seems to be a constant thing that's brought

111
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.600
up. I wonder if they know
that they can fast forward through them.

112
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:26.279
There is a thirty second skip button
on the iHeart app, and I use

113
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.560
it frequently to go fast past them
faster, and if I go too far,

114
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.480
then I use the back button.
I do agree. Sometimes they come

115
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:38.839
at inopportune times. But everything has
commercials, YouTube and other podcasts and other

116
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.959
platforms. That's true. Sometimes I'm
watching a YouTube video and then here comes

117
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.519
the guy I want to get shredded. You can get shred fuck and shut

118
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:50.720
up, and you got to watch
it. Usually they're kind of short.

119
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:56.560
Yeah, are the commercials on our
podcast thirty seconds or sixty seconds? I

120
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.279
think they're thirty thirty seconds, but
sometimes there's two. I do think you're

121
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.319
maybe I'm wrong about this. I
don't think you're allowed to skip the very

122
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.839
first ones, okay, but inside
of them, yes, you should be

123
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:09.839
able to. But I think we've
had people email and and be like,

124
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.000
I'm in the middle of a workout, I don't have I don't want to

125
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.839
get my phone out, and like
have to skip through it, you know.

126
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.920
So it's still an inconvenience for if
they're placed in the middle of something

127
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.480
that is a conversation happening yesterday during
our announcement of vont and Bailey being on

128
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.240
the show. I didn't hear it, but somebody sent me a screenshot and

129
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.720
they said, look at this is
what happened. A fucking commercial came on

130
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.720
right in the middle of you making
the announcement and it was on for you

131
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.240
know, a minute or whatever,
and then it went right back and rejoined

132
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.200
where we left off. But it
was still annoying. It's kind of like

133
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.240
this big dramatic moment and then there's
a Chumba casino ad. Yeah. Yeah,

134
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.360
it's We're trying, I will just
say, and I don't want to

135
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.440
make promises right now, but we
are working with someone who works with our

136
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.600
digital team to try to fix these
issues because I think there's a new way

137
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:05.080
we can adjust the commercials. Next
one, Hello to the New Morning Show.

138
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.240
Oh we just read that one.
Okay, I'm want to finish off.

139
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.919
Sorry. Here it is the same
writer says where is your dream vacation

140
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.159
and somewhere you've been that is one
of your top places to visit. I'm

141
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.759
dreaming of taking a vacation and I
just want to get ideas. New Zealand

142
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.799
I think is my new dream place. I watched the documentary the other day.

143
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:31.440
It's called The Volcano Rescue on something
whatever, And I don't want to

144
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.519
get rescued from a volcano. But
New Zealand looks beautiful and far away and

145
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.600
exotic, and they speak English,
and their culture is similar enough to Western

146
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.399
culture that I'd be able to vibe
and fit in pretty easily. And I

147
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.919
want to go do shit that they
do in New Zealand, like rafting and

148
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.080
kayaking and climbing and adventure some things. Did you like skydiving or cliff jumping

149
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.120
or anything like that? Nothing of
a skydive? Four times? Have you

150
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.440
ever skydived, Jenny, No,
I don't think i'd ever want to do

151
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.279
that. I'd probably do the kind
where you jump off a high bridge into

152
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.320
a valley or something like that,
where you're attached to a bungee bungee.

153
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.320
Yeah, yeah, I'd probably do
something like that. But I'm not skydiving.

154
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.799
Just I don't like the thought of
free falling until the shoot the parachute

155
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.879
opens. That terrifies me. Yeah, I've done it four times. I've

156
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.080
hated it every single time. And
what are you going back for more than

157
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.960
peer pressure. Yeah, I mean
peer pressure and radio station pressures, like

158
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.120
okay, let's make people talk about
the show. Let's go skydiving. There's

159
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.320
some great visuals. If you go
skydiving, you're gonna get some great content

160
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.840
for your Instagram. And this is
before Instagram, but still it was a

161
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:43.360
buzz and and I was terrified every
single time, just and I'd like airplanes,

162
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.840
but just taking off in the airplane
and then they open up the door

163
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.399
and you stand in the doorway and
they go one, two and then you

164
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:56.279
roll out. No, yeah,
not. What about your dream vacation,

165
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.200
Jenny, I would probably say going
to the Laffatan Islands in Norway. It's

166
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.679
kind of like not as well known. I think when you go to Norway

167
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.879
people go to like Oslo a lot
or that, like the southern area.

168
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.000
But those islands are just beautiful.
I've seen so many videos of them,

169
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.559
and I would love to go see
them. You know who My favorite vacations

170
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.799
are, I mean just going to
like Glacier or Yellowstone or the Black Hills.

171
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:22.919
I am as simple pleasures kind of
a guy. I love going to

172
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.600
the Koa campground, getting a camping
cabin, sitting out front, you know,

173
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.240
like having a beer by the fire. Yeah, and that's my that's

174
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.360
my joy. I don't need to
be into like a five star hotel.

175
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.559
I'm just like simple things for sure. I'm not quite as simple, but

176
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.240
I like to go places where there's
like beautiful landscapes. So like those islands

177
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.639
aren't like islands like Hawaii or something. It's like these mountainous looks, like

178
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.840
the rocky mountains almost mixed with like
greenery islands, and there's a lot of

179
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.960
hiking there. So I'm just more
of I want to see all the beautiful

180
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.679
landscapes. Yeah. I'm not so
much a camping person though, but I

181
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.159
do enjoy a good cabin weekend where
it's just relaxed and chill, you're not

182
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.240
doing anything too crazy. Well that's
kind of why i like going to Colorado

183
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.000
so much. And I'm going to
Colorado this weekend because it's like a cabin.

184
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.879
Some people in the family refer to
it as the cabin and you sit

185
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.360
around, there's deer in the yard. Yeah, you're out in nature.

186
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:31.120
It's just awesome. So all right. Next email from Gina, who I

187
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.960
ran into last night at the Elk
River speech. She's in my Ukulele Club,

188
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.039
and she writes in this Morning it
says, Minnesota, goodbye. Dave

189
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.159
did great at graduation, Dave,
Jenny vont Bailey. I just have to

190
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.440
brag on Dave a little bit.
My daughter graduated tonight and Dave was the

191
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.320
commencement speecher speaker. He did such
a great job. Everyone was talking about

192
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.960
how it was one of the best
ceremonies they had been to. Thanks again,

193
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.759
Dave for all you do in the
community and giving back. I know

194
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:01.639
you were super over were committed lately, and I'm glad you said yes to

195
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.000
this made a special night even more
memorable. If you get a chance,

196
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.759
I'd love a staff rider sticker.
Have Bailey get to work and send me

197
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.919
what walked in. Hi, Bailey
Bye. You were in the other room

198
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.799
learning audio loading. I was learning
how to load the dirt audio and I

199
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.080
did it all by myself, seriously, I did. I don't even know

200
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.159
how to do that. So you
take audio off a computer and then you

201
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.360
stick it in another computer and then
we played on another computer. Yes,

202
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.240
and it's obnoxious because all of the
computers have a different mouse. So oh,

203
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.159
but you learned that on day two. Well, I've been learning for

204
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.120
like, I guess I've been learning
it for three days, so it took

205
00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.919
me a hot minute, but I
did it all by myself. Oh my

206
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:50.159
god, good for you. So
you need to send out, Gina a

207
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.279
staff writer sticker down. Well,
I got to bring in the staff rider

208
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.759
stickers. I get a bunch of
envelopes. Here, is there a bunch

209
00:13:56.799 --> 00:13:58.759
in there? Yeah, you do
have some sit in in there. I

210
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.360
was wondering if you had. I
don't know why, but I think Vaunt

211
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.320
said brings some in in case we
need them. Okay, Gina, I

212
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.639
want to tell you it was a
delight and surprise to see you last night

213
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.679
because you walked up and I'm like, that looks just like Gina from my

214
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.279
ukulelean and I'm like, oh shit, that is Gina. So thank you,

215
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:22.759
and thanks for the kind words about
the speech last night. Next one,

216
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.519
please don't say my name. First
off, So excited about the additions

217
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.440
to the morning show. So great
you aren't retiring yet, Dave, you

218
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.519
know, give it another week,
Give it another week. Okay. So

219
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.720
last week, Dave, you said
people don't do things for you. Well

220
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.600
I got a piggyback on that and
say, I hate when people don't ask

221
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.799
how you are doing after you asked
them, especially after they give you a

222
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.000
full fucking update of their life.
This is my biggest pet peeve and just

223
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.200
playing rude. I just don't understand
how somebody can talk about themselves then in

224
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.360
return not ask how you you are? Am I alone in this? Or?

225
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.759
Do you guys agree? I'd love
a sticker? Thanks guys, Bye,

226
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:09.480
Bailey. Do you get annoyed with
people when they don't ask how you

227
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.480
are? No? Because, and
I will say, I've actually been told

228
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.519
by a friend this was forever ago, but he was like, you never

229
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.159
asked me about my life, and
I'm under the impression if we're friends,

230
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.679
you're just gonna tell me about your
life, Okay. But I guess it's

231
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.559
different if your acquaintances, because after
that conversation I had with that friend,

232
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.080
I've been way more cognizant of it
and it's like always on my mind.

233
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.559
So if I'm having a conversation with
like an acquaintance or a stranger or something,

234
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.480
I'll have to be like Bailey,
ask them a question. Bailey,

235
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.639
ask them a question in my head
in order to do it. But like

236
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.639
my understanding is if your friends,
you should be just telling me about your

237
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.120
life, so I'll dish to you
and then if you say something about it,

238
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.759
awesome. But if you're not telling
me about your life, that's on

239
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:58.399
you. Okay. I've had friends
that are really really like Curtis is like

240
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:03.000
one of my best friends. He
only asks about me, and I have

241
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.200
to stop him and say, well, what about you? How's your work?

242
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.679
Oh, my work's fine. How's
Jenny doing? And I'm like,

243
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.039
well, Jenny's a bitch, but
how's your she is? How's your work?

244
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:17.399
And Jenny, what about you?
Do you have friends that like ask

245
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.080
that don't ask about you? Yeah, I'm not really friends, but there

246
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:23.840
is someone I'm very close with that
I know who it is. It's the

247
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:29.240
same friend. No, it's not
a friend, it's a family member.

248
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.799
And they've gone through a lot of
things. And I mean I was going

249
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.759
through some really tough things a couple
months ago, and not a single question

250
00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:40.759
was asked to me. As I
counseled that person for about an hour and

251
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.960
it was super frustrating and really like
draining, and was like, Wow,

252
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.799
you didn't ask me one thing.
I sat and like was comforting you for

253
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.120
an hour straight and you didn't ask
me a single thing. Why do you

254
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.320
think that is? Do you think
that people just don't think about I don't

255
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.440
think that anybody gets up in the
morning and says, I'm going to be

256
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.319
a difficult person today. Is it
just that they're so self absorbed that they

257
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.519
can't think of anybody else, or
they forget or what do you think it

258
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.759
is? I think that generally it's
a forgetful thing. Or just like how

259
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:17.759
Bailey such, it kind of took
someone acknowledging it to her. I think

260
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.119
it's more of that than self absorbed. But obviously there's plenty of self absorb

261
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.480
people out there too. Same also, I am self absorbed, but yes,

262
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:27.119
no, I don't think you are. I think that Bailey is like

263
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.160
one of these people that, like, she reminds me something of Tina,

264
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.599
that they instantly seem like they're your
friend, they express interest in you.

265
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.720
Tina had no interest in me,
but she always was good at pretending that

266
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:42.839
she did. Okay, so what's
weird is we got cut off a minute

267
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.720
ago while we're doing the Minnesota advice, so we're gonna have to wrap things

268
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.400
up here, and there were more
emails, So if we didn't get to

269
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:53.599
yours. We'll try to get to
it another time. Have a great weekend.

270
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:57.480
Are you guys doing anything special.
I'm gonna be in Colorado doing a

271
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:03.240
little yard work using a chain saw. I'm gonna hike part way up Pike's

272
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.880
Peak on Sunday. What are you
doing Conown? Coming here with the big

273
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.200
hike I do. Yeah, it's
about it's about a month away. Yeah,

274
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.799
yeah, that's exciting. Today,
I think I'm gonna head downtown and

275
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:18.480
to enjoy Setimberwolves pre party action and
the Andrew and I are maybe going to

276
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.400
try to get super last minute like
when the game starts discounted tickets, Okay,

277
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:25.799
And tomorrow I have friends doing a
bikes and bruise, so we're gonna

278
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:29.680
bike around and go to a bunch
of breweries Sunday TVD wow, dang,

279
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.880
you're doing a lot of stuff.
I have a friend who is getting married

280
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:38.160
on Sunday, and so they're doing
like a whole weekend full of festivities.

281
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:44.000
So tomorrow we're going on like the
Saint Croix paddle boat, which is exciting,

282
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.880
and then they're doing a huge dinner
and then they're getting married on Sunday

283
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.799
and then We're doing a breakfast on
Monday, so I just get to hang

284
00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.880
out with my friend who's getting married. And are you in the wedding?

285
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.200
No? Do you feel sad that
you'll never get married, Bailey? You

286
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.880
know sometimes it bums me out,
but you know what, then I go

287
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.640
home, I pick up my cat, and everything's better. Ah. That's

288
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:08.400
so sweet and lonely. All right, have a great weekend, be safe,

289
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:15.799
and we will see you Tuesday on
KATIWB and on the Minnesota Goodbye.
