WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.600 We had a lot of emails on the Minnesota Goodbye, probably the most we've 2 00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:05.719 had in months and months. So we're gonna get to as many as we 3 00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:09.679 can without rushing, because I have a habit of rushing, and then I 4 00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:13.119 have a habit of getting sidetracked. So all right, let's start with this 5 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.280 one. Good morning, just writing in about how Dave said there was a 6 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:21.039 campground on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. They are for carnival people and the four 7 00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.640 age kids, and it's a lottery system for them. They have to get 8 00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.239 drawn in order to stay there. There is not nearly enough spots for the 9 00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.399 people who show their animals, says Christy. And she said, if you 10 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.159 are lucky enough to get your name to get a camping spot, it's anywhere 11 00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.039 from eight hundred to thirteen hundred dollars, depending on how many days they allow 12 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.039 you to stay. Some people only get a few days at the beginning, 13 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.240 some people get a few days at the end, some get the whole time. 14 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.719 Okay, interesting, I really thought that there were people that like just 15 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:56.600 went over there and camped. I had no idea next one. I think 16 00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.399 we might save this one for a group therapy, because that is a little 17 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.719 bit different. This one says from Courtney listening to the Minnesota Goodbye as per 18 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.840 my usual morning routine, and I have so much advice for helping a grieving 19 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:14.079 friend. Unfortunately from experience. Remember it was the day before yesterday, or 20 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:17.680 maybe yesterday, somebody said their friend came over. They were acting different. 21 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:22.040 They sat down and they revealed that their dad had been diagnosed with stage four 22 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.680 colon cancer, and they said, how do I help them? What do 23 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:32.159 I do? I was very unexpectedly widowed just before thirty with a two and 24 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.840 a four year old. As you can imagine, this was devastating for all 25 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.120 involved. As I think Dave mentioned, distraction was a huge part of the 26 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.400 weeks to follow. But in those first hours and days, it's the people 27 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:49.079 that showed up at my door with food, groceries, care baskets, gave 28 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:53.079 us a hug, reminded me they were there and left that I appreciated the 29 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:59.359 most. Don't ask them what they need or what you can do. There 30 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.920 is notice decision making that can be made. Just do what you can. 31 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.519 That's a really good piece of advice. Don't say, hey, what can 32 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.039 I do? Because they might not have an answer, They might not want 33 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:12.960 to ask you anything. Yep. It is those first anniversaries and holidays to 34 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.080 follow that are the hardest to simple. Text that you are thinking of them 35 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:21.120 on those days makes a world of difference, especially after everyone else has seemed 36 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.840 to move on almost three years later. My best friend still checks on those 37 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.800 days and even over texts. She knows when I'm having a hard time. 38 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:32.120 She is my person. Hopefully this helps love the show. It's a great 39 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:37.639 distraction. My gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that you were widowed. 40 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:43.199 So suddenly I'm widowed at all. But yeah, distractions and then not asking 41 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:50.199 what I can do, but just doing something. Yeah, okay, I'm 42 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.639 moving the wrong way. Hold on, here we go, Dave, who 43 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.639 are the two people from the Strike Force podcast that you don't like? Dying 44 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.400 to know? That's from Rachel because strike Force is a podcast that's like got 45 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:05.719 Jimmy Foul and some other people. Stephen Colbert, he's one of the ones 46 00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.199 I don't like. I've never gotten him. I've never found him funny. 47 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:13.479 And Seth Myers. I've never liked him, never thought he was funny. 48 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.120 It always seemed like Seth Myers has a talk show. I just don't like 49 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.719 Seth Myers. I don't watch either of them. I would say I probably 50 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.479 do like Stephen Colbert a little bit more than Seth Meyers between the few things 51 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.039 I have seen between them. But yeah, I couldn't say I was like 52 00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.919 a fan particularly of either of them. I like Jimmy Fallon better. He 53 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.319 kind of grew on me. I don't. We don't watch a lot of 54 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.759 late night TV. Well, they start at ten thirty or later, and 55 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.240 we're not often up that late, so not really a thing for us. 56 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.919 All right, Morning show crew. About Jenny's jury duty. I was thirty 57 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.479 three weeks pregnant and when I was summoned for jury duty, so I thought 58 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.800 i'd get out of it. Well, spoiler alert, I didn't like someone 59 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.159 else who takes it in on Tuesday. I also cried during the interview process, 60 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:03.599 but that didn't help. The case we had was actually trigger warning sexual 61 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:09.520 assault related, so the state attorney who was prosecuting must have chosen me as 62 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.680 one of the jurors because I was pregnant partially yea. Honestly, the case 63 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.319 was hard to listen to at times given the subject, but it was really 64 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.000 interesting to sort of being a real Life Law and Order episode. I only 65 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.399 spent three days away from work, I think, so it wasn't too bad. 66 00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.040 Plus a bad person was put in prison in the end, so that 67 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.160 made me feel a little bit better. Boy, it must have been a 68 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.959 quick conviction. I was going to say that it seems pretty quick for that. 69 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.240 Well, we all watched these shows like Dateline or forty eight Hours Mystery 70 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.439 or some true crime where it's like the jury deliberated for five days or they 71 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.439 deliberated for two weeks or whatever. Love you guys, and I feel like 72 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.480 a loyal listener and I have to end it with dartlick. Dartlick. And 73 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:47.959 that's from Casey. You can say my name. Thank you, Casey, 74 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.000 and I'm glad you wrote in. Okay, going off that real quick, 75 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.319 I did get a message from someone who's actually coming to visit us. She 76 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.839 lives on DC right now, and she said that when she was on jury 77 00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.839 duty, it was all this like medical mal practice for hers, but then 78 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.680 there was like a love triangle involved in it, and so she said, 79 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:05.560 She's like, honestly, I know some people dread jury duty, but my 80 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:11.600 case was just like so interesting. Oh. I mean, I guess if 81 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.120 I get a fun like case where there's some drama, sure, but like, 82 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.160 do I want to be listening to a sexual assault story? Honestly, 83 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:24.120 not really at all, but I understand it's my duty. So medical malpractice 84 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.800 and a love triangle? Wow, all right, here's the one that we're 85 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.759 gonna save for the show, although I think I'm gonna read it and maybe 86 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:38.759 do it on the show because it's very interesting. And her question is am 87 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:44.920 I being dramatic? Should I get over it? Listen to this. I'm 88 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.560 a twenty three year old woman. I work at a vet clinic. During 89 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:53.439 an exam on a dog with the dog's owner in the room, the doctor 90 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.959 that I was working with asked me to move my arm out of the way 91 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.360 so he would not accidentally inject me with a rabies vaccine. I said, 92 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.120 maybe I need it, and the doctor and the client and the owner of 93 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.040 the dog both chuckled. The owner of the dog, who was a sixty 94 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.120 five to seventy ish year old man, then proceeded to grab and smack my 95 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:17.079 ass and say you could get it right here, and he laughed. I 96 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:21.920 immediately became very uncomfortable. The doctor that I was working with did not notice 97 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:28.439 this remark or action and went on with the exam. I left the room 98 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.839 very uncomfortable. After letting it sink in for a few minutes and talking with 99 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.199 my coworkers, I realized what had just happened. How could this man have 100 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:41.000 the audacity to think he can grab another person that he has never met like 101 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.079 that. I proceeded to cry in the bathroom for fifteen to twenty minutes. 102 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.639 My manager, other doctors, and co workers all heard about what happened. 103 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.199 The doctor that was in the room with me, who happened to be the 104 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:53.800 owner of the clinic, came to speak with me. He apologized for not 105 00:06:53.959 --> 00:07:00.079 noticing, but said hopefully you'll get over it soon. I am upset with 106 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.319 this response from him. As an older man with a daughter, you think 107 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:08.160 he'd be more compassionate towards the situation. I feel violated, I feel gross, 108 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.319 I was and am very upset over the whole situation. Am I being 109 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.800 dramatic? Should I really just get over it? Or is this an upsetting 110 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:21.519 situation another's eyes? Any advisor feedback would be appreciated. I want Jenny to 111 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.319 take this one, but I will say you are not being overly dramatic. 112 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.480 Shame on him. Maybe in his generation, back in his day, that 113 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:38.879 was funny. Everybody should know absolutely don't touch another person, especially on the 114 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.360 button level like he like grabbed her ass and made a stupid comment to go 115 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.120 with it. Also, it honestly shocks me that the doctor quote unquote did 116 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.800 not hear or see it or anything like. I think he chose to ignore 117 00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.120 it. But you're right, that's another situation that I think like to look 118 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:59.720 into. But then his response as the owner of the clinic and not coming 119 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.279 to the defense of his employee is disgusting to me. So, no, 120 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.759 you're not being dramatic a b. I would probably quit immediately And I don't 121 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.600 know if you can file an HR complaint in that situation, him being the 122 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.560 owner, but do something about it. But yeah, you're not being dramatic. 123 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:16.560 You have every right to feel the way that you felt. That was 124 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.319 an absolute violation to you, and it's disgusting. It's really there's nothing you 125 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:28.360 said that I don't agree with. I would have actually called if I were 126 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.000 the owner, I would have called this person. I would have said you 127 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:33.720 need to come down here, we need to talk. I would have said 128 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.320 you are not allowed in this clinic again, and I would have also, 129 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.600 you tell me if I'm overreacting, I would have called the cops down there 130 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.159 too, to file a report, because that is assault. That is like 131 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.840 you just don't grab anybody's ass anymore. I mean, I say, especially 132 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.240 like there are some exceptions, but there are not, but especially not a 133 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.080 woman professionally working and you're a client, and there's just so many things wrong. 134 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.840 So I would have called the cops and I would have the guy come 135 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:05.360 down to the vet center or filed some sort of report. I don't know 136 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.159 if the cops would file on that. I don't know, but no, 137 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.919 you are not in the wrong on that one. Come on next one, 138 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.879 Jenny, Dave Drake, First and foremost, I'd like to express my sincere 139 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.320 gratitude for you for constantly delivering an incredible show. I've been listening to The 140 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.720 Dave Ryan Show since the late nineties, and you become an important part of 141 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.240 my daily routine when I'm getting ready for work. Your show provides me with 142 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.000 something to look forward to and makes me feel like I'm hanging out with friends. 143 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.240 On a separate note, there is something weighing on my mind. Your 144 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.480 show is admirably strive to avoid uttering content that could be perceived as offensive, 145 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.919 while also demonstrating genuine concern for the emotions of listeners. The evolving list of 146 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.399 terms and phrases that are now considered off limits is a testament to your efforts. 147 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.759 I understand that take the talking for hours and having to be concerned about 148 00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:01.159 everything you say to nearly seven listeners is not easy. Smiley face, Okay, 149 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:07.200 here it is. I have noticed that God or Jesus Christ gets exclaimed 150 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.919 frequently during your show. This is usually in moments of self frustration, during 151 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.039 a game, or when discussing something that has irked you. Many Christians, 152 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.840 like our friend Pastor Catherine, share a similar sense of humor that resonates with 153 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.080 your show. So will I will go ahead and assume that you have Christian 154 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.919 listeners. I'm not looking to scold you. Were screamed from the rooftops that 155 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.879 I'm offended, but I kindly urge you to consider the frequency with which this 156 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.519 happens. It is simply a request driven by a desire for mutual respect and 157 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.879 understanding. Once again, thank you for your understanding or outstanding work, and 158 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.519 for taking time to read my thoughts. I remain a devoted listener, and 159 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.039 I look forward to continuing to enjoy your show in the mornings. That is 160 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.840 from Teresa. Teresa, I thought the same thing. I have noticed myself 161 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:58.120 saying Jesus, Oh, Jesus, Jesus Christ more than I should. And 162 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.440 I was raised a Christian, not a devout Christian now, but I absolutely 163 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.200 do not purposely or blow that off and go, yeah, it's okay to 164 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.399 say Jesus Christ all I want to. So, No, that's a good 165 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.279 point. I will try to not say. God is a different one. 166 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.840 I think God, Oh my God, God, Oh God, Jenny, 167 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.399 but Jesus Christ is a little bit. That's a little bit, that's a 168 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.600 step further. I know. I think specifically in the last two weeks, 169 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.799 I remember saying Jesus Christ, and I don't normally say that. That is 170 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.759 not something I was allowed to say growing up. We went to church every 171 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.399 Sunday growing up. Also not really like a super practicing Christian at the moment, 172 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.519 but it just wasn't in my vocabulary, and so I'm kind of surprised 173 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.679 whenever it came out recently. I was upset with myself that I said it, 174 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.919 because I don't normally say that. I know, I say oh my 175 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.440 God all the time, though I say that very often. I try to 176 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.679 say oh my Gosh. But it's just something that I've always said that. 177 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.080 It's like, I've definitely tried to filter myself, but I hear this person 178 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:03.919 and will work on not using God and Jesus and Jesus Christ so often. 179 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.080 Well, you know, it's like, and you know, we hear somebody 180 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.320 on the radio. We'll get somebody on the radio and they'll be talking about 181 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.360 War of the Roses. They'll be like, holy fuck, and was like, 182 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:16.480 okay, can you not restrain yourself from using the word fuck for a 183 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.279 few minutes while you're on the radio. And we get annoyed when people do 184 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.600 it. Thank God we have a dump button, so we don't, you 185 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.879 know, have any problems with it. But you and I definitely could. 186 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.919 We could, as adults and professionals, we could make an effort to not 187 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.519 say Jesus Christ. How about we have a rule or a bet on the 188 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.799 show. First one of the three of us to say Jesus Christ on the 189 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.240 show, we will, then the other one's got to buy lunch. Okay, 190 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.759 I like that. I think what we do with this is we don't 191 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:50.360 tell Drake, so you and I know we're not allowed to say it. 192 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:56.000 It doesn't Then when he does say it, we play back this audio and 193 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.440 be like, see, we made this a game and a rule, so 194 00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.360 you owe us you. I shouldn't tell me you were going to do that. 195 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:03.759 I had no idea, God Jesus Christ, So no, thanks for 196 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:09.399 that. I appreciate that. Okay, I think that's going to about do 197 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.679 it. A lot of these emails are really really good, but they're kind 198 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:18.200 of more for the entire morning show. But I will get to as many 199 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.519 as of these as we can. Yeah, a lot of these are for 200 00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.360 the morning show. So here's one last one because we got some time. 201 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.679 Some sort of things I would send you as I sit solo in a fancy 202 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.000 restaurant in a faraway place as I'm working away from home for the week. 203 00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.080 Tipping. I know you've talked and talked and talked about tipping. However, 204 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.679 servers should be great. They should be polite, know the menu, keep 205 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.639 your glass of what you're drinking full, especially if it's water. The glass 206 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.600 should never be empty. If they live off tips, be great. I'll 207 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.440 stop there before I start to rent as a server do you agree. I 208 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:58.120 do agree that you should give good You should have a personality to give great 209 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:03.480 customer service. Somethings are out of your what's the word that I'm looking for 210 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.799 control? Some things that are out of your control. You might have just 211 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.159 it's called being double or triple sat. You might have just been double or 212 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.639 triple sat and got stuck greeting three different tables, getting their drink orders, 213 00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.000 getting their appetizers in, and your forced table. You did not notice that 214 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.879 their diapepsi was a long. So you have to understand that things aren't always 215 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.519 as they seem as a server, and if they're a rude server or they're 216 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.360 not friendly, that's a different thing. But if they are a little slow 217 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.080 on getting you your water refill, that might be because of other factors. 218 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.039 So I think I'm gonna be honest. It's really hard to be out with 219 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.399 some friends because they do not look at the environment around and they get very 220 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.960 upset about the littlest of things. And for me, having this experience I 221 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.720 have, I try to defend the server hat the time, Like, look 222 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.399 at this patio right now, they literally have every table on this patio. 223 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:52.360 Just give them a second you'll get your drink in a second, you know, 224 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.679 Like I do, try to defend servers a little bit more, But 225 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:58.240 there is no excuse for a server to not be like friendly and trying at 226 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.080 least to do as much as they can. Okay, point number two. 227 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.799 I met David the State Fair. I hope it never gets old for you 228 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.440 to hear how much of an impact you have on the people who listen to 229 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.120 your show. No one never gets old. I love hearing about that. 230 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.440 It's like I think I was thinking about that this morning in the shower or 231 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.799 on the ride end, or brushing my teeth, Like, wow, it 232 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.919 is good too. We all want to make a difference in life. We 233 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.799 all want to make an impact, make a difference, whether it were saving 234 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:30.799 pets or whether we're straightening teeth or painting or cleaning homes. We want to 235 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.600 make a difference. And growing up, I didn't make much of a difference. 236 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.000 I was just an average kid. I was an average student, an 237 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.679 average boy scout, an average trumpet player, an average friend. But to 238 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.840 feel and to be told that I've made a difference, that's really powerful. 239 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.120 I mean, you know, and thank you. The only reason I went 240 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.279 to the fair bus is because the morning show was going to be there and 241 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.039 I needed Dave to sign my book. He did. What a fabulous bunch 242 00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:03.840 of people you all are three. I myself needing more podcast content on occasion, 243 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.200 so I have ventured out to find something that is people talking, not 244 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:12.240 interview style, just natural conversation like the Minnesota Goodbye three A any recommendations of 245 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:18.080 Minnesota Goodbye similar style, Jenny, anything that comes to mind, I don't 246 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.480 listen. I listened to an air disaster podcast with two women, Shelley and 247 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.240 Stephanie, and I love these two. I feel like they are my friends 248 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.759 that I feel like I talk back to them, But that's not you're not 249 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.879 looking for an air disaster podcast. Do you know of anything off the topic? 250 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.480 Can you think of something that maybe I'll interest you? Since you listen 251 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.480 to the Minnesota Goodbye, it's called two hot takes, and actually the girl 252 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.480 who started it, they her and her boyfriend are originally from Minnesota, and 253 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.919 you did like a cameo for them for a birthday or something, which is 254 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.720 not something you'd remember. But they introduce themselves to me at the state fair 255 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.039 a couple of years ago, and they started that podcaster in COVID and it 256 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.440 has blown up. It is a huge podcast now they're out in LA. 257 00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:03.639 They have full pod wowot Takes and truthfully, all they'd literally do is read 258 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.880 stories from ruddit and then react to it and so but it's no kidding, 259 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.160 wild stories, things you didn't see coming, things that are going to irk 260 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:17.480 you, things that are going to make you feel uncomfortable. Definitely things you'll 261 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.880 have an opinion about one way or another. So I do. I haven't 262 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.559 listened to a ton of it, but two Hot Takes is pretty interesting. 263 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.680 Okay, that sounds like exactly what you might be looking for. If you 264 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.440 are listening and you have any podcast recommendations for Courtney, then please let us 265 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:34.200 know. And three b through this endeavor, I bumped into other radio Folks 266 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:41.960 podcast. Why do similarly sized and larger stations have so many more people than 267 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:47.200 the Dave Ryan Show? Does you have three people? Other shows have ten? 268 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.839 I'm not even exaggerating any ideas why. I don't know, but I 269 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:59.240 think they have bigger budgets possibly, And that's really all I know. And 270 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.319 we used to have people on the show, if you counted Tina back in 271 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.720 the day when we had Lena, Steve, Me, Chris Go and intern 272 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:12.279 John. We had five full time people on the show, had interns two 273 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:17.079 back then too, Yes, and we had interns during that time. That's 274 00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.640 right, and we don't have that anymore. And I don't really know why 275 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:25.160 that is. I think that some stations just a lot bigger budgets, and 276 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:27.000 other than that, I don't know, but I know some of the shows 277 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.920 you're talking about. I'm not going to name them because I don't want to 278 00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:32.400 make it sound like I'm picking on them. But there are some shows in 279 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:36.000 like New York that have like eight or ten people on the show. I 280 00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:40.319 don't necessarily like that because I feel if you have that many people, you 281 00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.160 have too many. Yea. And sometimes you can't figure out who is speaking 282 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.039 on our show. It's either me or Jenny or Drake. Were easy to 283 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.359 tell apart, there's no confusion. When Fallon was on the show, You 284 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.000 and Fallon didn't sound anything alike. People would argue that though, because there 285 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.880 are times that people would be on the phone then they I would say, 286 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.599 and then they're like, oh, no, Flon not that Oh really okay. 287 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.519 So I think we definitely if I listen to our voices. I think 288 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:08.960 we sounded very, very different, but there was some confusion because I just 289 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.680 think for some reason, it's a little bit harder to distinguish between two females 290 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:17.799 because I listen to this one podcast for probably two years until I realize who 291 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:22.559 was who. Even though they had very different voices, you do get used 292 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.039 to it. I'll tell you this the podcast I listen to Shelley and Stephanie. 293 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:29.680 I can't tell them apart, but they both play equal roles on the 294 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.440 show. They switch off. One will tell an air disaster story while the 295 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.119 other one reacts and ask questions. And then the next week they'll switch off 296 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.480 and they sound so much alike. But it doesn't matter because they're both similar, 297 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:47.160 you know, quirky, fun, smart personalities. She goes on to 298 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:51.160 say, thanks again for making the world a brighter and better place, Courtney. 299 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.759 That is so very kind of you to write in and say that I 300 00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:59.519 really appreciate that. I do have one request and this will help us out 301 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:04.000 as we sort through the Minnesota Goodbye emails. If you want your email read 302 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.880 specifically on the Minnesota Goodbye, just put in the subject line Minnesota Goodbye. 303 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:12.799 Sometimes if we look at it, and we don't know. Sometimes we'll start 304 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.240 to read it and go, oh, this is better for the show, 305 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.160 the show itself like a group therapy kind of a thing, or some people 306 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:23.160 specifically want to talk about something about the Minnesota Goodbye that we've brought up or 307 00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:26.359 asked or read at whatever requested. Then if you will, if you've got 308 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:29.960 a minute when you write in and you want it to be on the Minnesota 309 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.200 Goodbye, just put in the subject line Minnesota Goodbye, and that'll help me 310 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.279 sort them out while I do this on the fly, and that is it. 311 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.799 Write your emails to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com and thank you for listening.
