I'll start off by saying, this has been a really unusual, busy,
scrambly kind of a day here on the radio show, which we're just wrapping
up. But because it is this thing called Access Day, and this was
a big thing for the company and it's actually pretty cool, but we had
to get it just right. We have to sell just the right things the
right way, the right number of times and get people to go to the
website because it's a big sales initiative and we're a sales company. We have
a product, but if we don't sell that product, our product is what's
on the radio. But if we don't sell that product two advertisers, then
we're not doing our job. So we had to make a big deal out
of it. And Jenny has been scrambling and running and checking emails constantly and
it has been a busy, but I wouldn't say totally unenjoyable day. It
was kind of fun to have something different to challenge us, wouldn't you think?
So? Oh? I agree, I agree. I just there were
so many emails that came in and the last week that last night is just
checking all of the stuff because I build like prep things for the show either
the day before in the morning, and so last night I was going through
all these emails making sure I had the most updated stuff because things have changed
in the last few days. But yeah, it was just a lot,
a lot of information to be able to get this right. Well, you
give me an idea, but let's maybe talk about something that we've probably not
talked about much. And that is how we prepare for the show every day.
So this is the way it works. Ideas. Sometimes you get them
from a brainstorm. Sometimes ideas pop into my head like boom, or you
get ideas too, or falling get ideas too. I'm responsible for ninety percent
of the ideas because it's my job, because that's what I'm supposed to do.
Dave, come up with ideas. So that's what was the one that
I gave you yesterday. I gave you a couple of ideas and maybe we
don't want to talk about them, so we will surprise you. But we
talked about it. We're like, that's fucked up, Dave, that is
a fucked up idea. But Drake laugh at his ass off. Do you
remember what it was? I don't want to say it. I can't.
I can say it it involves fake like planting something somewhere. Yes, So
anyway, so we come up with ideas and I'll either say, Jenny,
here's an idea, write this down before I forget it. Because I come
up with ideas and I don't record them into my Apple Watch. I've got
a bunch of ideas on my Apple Watching, a little microphone function on there,
and then I'll write it down, or I'll say, Jenny, write
this down. And sometimes we'll throw out on an idea and we'll kind of
hash through it and we'll go that's never gonna work. Sorry, you can
delete that one. Or other times this happens a lot fallon and I will
come up with an idea like yeah, I guess what We're going to light
farts on fire tomorrow, and Jenny will be like, are you guys serious?
I don't know if you're serious or not. I never know if you
guys are kidding, And sometimes we are kidding, and sometimes we're like,
no, it actually could work. Yeah, there was. It's pointless for
me to even say it, but there was one recently in that I was
like, are we being serious? And you were like, well, I
wasn't at first, but Fallen laugh. So now I think we do consider
it, but I don't remember what it was we were talking about. So
we'll come up the ideas, and then after ten o'clock, when we kind
of get everything done, we run and get a snack, or we get
a salad or whatever. Downstairs there's a deli, and we'll come back in
at ten o'clock or ten after whatever, and then we'll start going, Okay,
it's a very informal brainstorming idea session, and Jenny will say like,
okay, Tomorrow we've got no phone screen or Friday, we're gonna have Nerdy
On. He's gonna be here from eight until late thirty. We need Susan
Collin and tell us about her whatever, blah blah blah. But we still
need something big for seven o'clock. And then that's when Fallon and I usually
do things like, yeah, we're gonna we're actually gonna murder Drake at seven
o'clock tomorrow morning, and then Jenny'll be like, you guys, seriously what
or Jenny will start in and go, okay, can I'm order him?
Can I have the first shot? Whatever? And so we kind of fuck
around a little bit and then we get a little bit more serious and say,
well, here's something we shouldn't talk about or something we should talk about,
like like yesterday during brainstorming, today's the first day of Pride month,
and I said, you know what, Drake, you should do something about
how to come out, tips on how to come out that might work for
you, and then tips if your kid comes out to you, how to
handle it the dues and don't And so we wrote that down and then we
have this. It's basically a grid with all these different blank spots in it,
and there's a couple of big spots we got to fill up, Like
the seven o'clock spot is always a big one because that's a time when a
lot of people get out of bed, their alarm goes off at seven o'clock,
they turn the radio on. Hopefully we want them to hear something pretty
substantial and then you know, so anyway, so we plan the show.
We leave here. What time we leave it always varies for everyone, but
it can be anywhere from like eleven thirty to like one pm. Sometimes not
usually not, but I was there one on Tuesday, but it was because
of helping out with stuff, because people aren't vacation, okay, right,
and then we go home and we get a lot of the rest of the
day free, but we're still kind of like we're doing social media and we're
thinking of ideas and if something comes to you while you're out on a run,
you will you write it down or remember it or whatever. And then
later in the day, by five six seven, we all check in on
an app and say, here's what I did today, or Hey, just
thought of something. We got to do this tomorrow because everybody's talking about it.
Or I went and saw a movie tonight and it's so good, we
got to talk about it tomorrow. And then the rest of our show prep
is basically go to sleep and have a life and go to sleep. Yeah,
because I always tell people, because I coach radio shows, I say,
you gotta have a life. You gotta go do something. You can't
come into work every day and say I watched a lot of Netflix. I
mean, that's funny once in a while, But if every day you do
the same thing, you're not going to be that interesting. And I think
one of the life's lessons is that goes for anything. If you're a stockbroker,
if you're a firefighter, or a nurse. Every day. You're going
to do something. Not every day, but you got to do some different
things once in a while, or you just become boring and predictable. I
agree. That's why I play in a kickball league, and I like to
talk about my kickball league all the time, even though you guys don't like
to always listen. But let me tell you, I switched positions from being
shortstopped and nobody cares. Nobody cares. You probably play like a beast.
You're probably like the people on my daughter's volleyball team who were just beasts.
And I don't mean the way they were built. I mean the way they
played. Just aggressive. Just it's kickball, Jenny, you're taking it too
seriously. All right, let's get on the email and see what we have
going on here. I will say that the emails are kind of a scramble,
but let's see what we got. When you guys talked about having dreams
that become coincidences, I thought, finally I've got something to write in about.
For as long as I can remember, I have always had crazy intuition
and felt like my dreams were letting me in on little secrets. I won't
bore you with examples, but one time in particular sticks out. My best
friend of twenty years got married a few years ago and moved three hours away
from her hometown. One night, I had a dream that something was very
wrong with her, but no matter what I did, I could not go
get her in the dream. I didn't know exactly what was wrong, but
I felt such sadness. I was scared. I could not shake the feeling
for the entire day, and I had a pit in my stomach. The
next night, her dad had a massive heart attack and passed away. I
can't explain it, but I just know I was being prepared for the moment
the phone call came. It was such a shock at twenty five to experience
your friend losing a parent, but it really opened my eyes to how short
life can be. Anyway, love the show and everything you guys do.
Thank you. That is from Kendra. I'm sorry that you know. I
was really worried. You're gonna say your friend died. Yeah, and I'm
not saying I'm relieved it was her dad, but I was definitely happy that
it was not her. Okay, Dave and team, I've been on worst
date Wednesday. I've also had many encounters with Dave throughout the years. I
don't know if this is taboo enough for group therapy, but I'm gonna pickle
my best friend of eight years. This is from a guy, by the
way, is in love with our mutual female best friend. She friend zoned
him way back in the past because he wasn't her type. When she was
going with her through a breakup with her X, I was there for her
and recently went through a breakup of my own. Her and I actually connected
and entertained the idea of dating. Everybody is pushing for her to go for
it, and I really want to as well, but the best friend is
the reason why we aren't. So it's kind of like a love triangle.
Is this is a situation we just let go or do we talk to him
about it? Neither of us to lose him as a best friend. I
know I couldn't handle it. Oh my god. It's definitely not taboo.
It's very interesting. I bet there's a lot of love triangles where you both
like somebody. I think sometimes the problem is that somebody doesn't like either of
you back. But in this case, it sounds like she likes you back,
not your friend. I think one thing that I've learned in life is
if you are in love, pursue it. If you are in love and
the other person is willing to help you pursue it, don't pass up on
that. But also make sure it really is a strong love, not just
a lust, not just I want to get in your pants kind of a
thing. That's probably not worth it losing a friendship over. But if you
feel a real bond, like you can see yourself going on vacation with this
person and you know, maybe one day getting older, retiring with this person.
If you can see that, then that's love worth pursuing. But if
it's just like, yeah, you know what I wonder, I wonder what
they look like naked, well that's not worth losing a friendship. What do
you think? No? I agree. I mean they always say that it's
best to have good friends that have different taste in men. Well, like
in my situation, because I did have a best friend in high school and
her and I always like the same guy, and she was hotter than me,
and so the guy than you. She the guys definitely went for her
more than me, and I was used to it, so it never like
really hurt me. But what would hurt me is if I like didn't get
invited somewhere because they were like, well, we don't want Jenny to come
because so and so is going to be there, and I want to be
able to flirt with him and not have her there since she has a crush
on him too. And so it's like like Tina and I web girl Tina
that used to work here. We always joked like we're such good friends because
we are, but also we have completely different taste than men, like neither
like what she found attractive was not something I did, and vice versa,
and so that was always like great in our friendship. No, that's good.
So you're not both like hitting on the same guy. It's like,
well I saw him first. Next one says, good morning, Dave.
My boyfriend and I were having dinner at my parents house tonight and afterwards,
my mom surprised us with a dessert, t Rex Cookies fresh from the oven.
My mom informed me that they sell four pack of frozen t Rex cookies
at cub for ten bucks. Thought you might like to know, so you
can have your favorite cookies whenever you want. As I'm writing this email,
I remember you trying to get fit ha ha, So I apologize if this
is unwelcome information. L O L. As a side note, my brother
calls the indns and waffles flavor holes. I thought you'd get a good laugh
from that. That is a good point, because I mean they do they
add the flavor because if you get it airs it, it ariates your waffles
and therefore adds flavor to it. With love from Joyce. And Joyce actually
points out I'm not an old lady because Joyce's tends to be an older woman's
name is Dave, an older guy's name. It kind of is. My
girlfriend is engaged to a Dave. He goes by David too, but it's
both. And I mean, there's Dave Fallon's brother in law, but I
guess that's Dave. I don't know if his full name is Davy or if
it's Dave, but I don't really I think Dave is kind of still universal.
Okay, somebody wrote in and the subject line is mental strength, but
it hooks me to a next door page and I don't remember my next door
sign in. So if you are Dan and you wrote in about mental strength,
screenshot of whatever you're trying to say, send a screenshot, because I
am not I don't know my next door log in, so I'm going to
delete that one, Dan, but I'm gonna encourage you to send a screenshot.
Nixt Wan, please don't say my name. I thought the conversation of
intuition on the Minnesota Goodbye was interesting and I wish there were more stories that
you had or people can contribute. Although I've never had this sixth sense,
my cousin has a wild recent story. My grandpa passed away a year ago
unexpectedly early in the morning. My cousin, who was very close with my
grandpa, actually had a dream that same night that he was riding a motorcycle
with my grandpa. He was trying to tell my grandpa something important. Actually,
he was trying to tell him that his wife was pregnant and they were
going to name the baby after him, but my grandpa couldn't hear him.
Then they crashed and he never had a chance to tell him. My cousin
was woken up from the dream to a phone call saying Grandpa passed away.
His response was, just I know, gives me the chills to think about
it, But I really do think my grandpa had somehow weaseled his way into
my cousin's dream immediately after passing, clearly the favorite grandchild. Smiley face.
I am absolutely obsessed with the show and I cannot get enough thanks for being
with me on Thanks for being with me on all my boozy summer night walks.
Ha. Wow, that is I've heard of stories like that where you
just get a feeling, or you get a chill, or you get something
and then the phone rings or something like that. That has never happened with
me. I've never had any kind of experience like that. You ever get
the thing? You get this once in a while where a friend will call
and say, hey, are you okay? Or text and say you okay?
Yeah, Why I had a dream you died last night. Have you
ever gotten that before? No? I haven't, but I've I've texted a
friend or two that before because I have had like bad dreams like that.
I had one really bad one a few weeks ago. Okay, that was
about Andrew dying, honestly, and I woke up and I was like having
an anxiety attack because it felt so real and I didn't want to like talk
to him until like later that day. I didn't want to like spook him
or like bring that to fright right, But I did eventually tell him because
I woke up so upset and I was like almost in tears because I dreamt
of that because it can seem so real, and it's like, are you
okay? All right? That's going to wrap it up for the Minnesota goodbye.
If you want to send an email, we would love to hear from
you. Send that into Ryan Show at KDWB dot com
