WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.559
So here's us some breaking news that
I'd forgotten about that we are not required

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:08.679
to do the Minnesota Goodbye. I
thought we were required to do the Minnesota

3
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.119
Goodbye, like the boss would say, you're gonna do that podcast. You

4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.720
get your ash in there right now
and do that podcast. And then you

5
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:16.679
reminded me that, no, we
don't have to. As a matter of

6
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:20.600
fact, all the shows in iHeart
were asked to do after the show podcast

7
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.280
and some did it for like a
day or a month or whatever. And

8
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.320
we aren't required to do it,
but we would not dream of not doing

9
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.199
it because we like to do it. And if you if you are there

10
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.880
and the numbers are big, and
they are big, then we'll keep doing

11
00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.600
it. Yeah, for sure.
I mean I don't. It's not something

12
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:41.240
I dread by any meaning. It's
like War of the Roses. I dread.

13
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.880
I don't know why because it doesn't
even take very long. It's like

14
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.079
one of those things where it's like
the dentist. You're not even at the

15
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.039
dentist very long. You're just like, I don't want to do that,

16
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:50.560
and then you do it. You're
like, oh, that was easy.

17
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.399
It's not a big deal. But
the podcast is never like that for Noah.

18
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.079
And it's kind of fun to find
out what's on your mind too,

19
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.840
because it's very, very interactive.
Jen writes in says, did you know

20
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.920
that Dave's Hot Chicken is all putting
near Ridgedale Mall and Drake as an investor?

21
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.439
I didn't. He must be making
good banks streaming his gaming. I

22
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.959
don't. I think she's joking,
but yeah, Dave's Hot Chicken is in

23
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.200
one of the outline strip malls of
Ridgedale Mall on the west side, but

24
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.680
it's been saying coming soon for months. I think that there is a problem

25
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.000
or a delay, because it would
not take i mean six or eight months

26
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.680
for Dave's Hot Chicken to open up
by Bridgedale Mall. If you know anything

27
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:27.920
more about it than let me know. Yeah, I've seen that. Not

28
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.599
with that, I didn't know that
was there. I don't go. I

29
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.640
honestly don't go over to Ridgdale very
often. I used to all the time

30
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.920
when I lived in Minneapolis. Now
I don't like stop in the Ridgetail area

31
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.400
too often. But I've noticed that
with like other restaurants or ice cream stores,

32
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.599
you'll see this sign excited and then
it just never opens. You're like,

33
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.719
what happened? There was one over
here, like Urban Walk or something

34
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.359
like that open. Did they finally
open? Seemed like it took forever for

35
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.400
them to open. Hey, guys, love your show, but listening to

36
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.280
Dave since I was a kid.
I just turned thirty nine last week,

37
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:06.280
so can't imagine my days without y'all. Not to send anybody into a rage,

38
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.120
but I listen on iHeart, and
while I appreciate not having to hear

39
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:13.599
the Chumba Casino ads anymore, my
app has recently become inundated with ads fully

40
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:16.639
in Spanish now. I laughed out
loud the first time it happened. Given

41
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.800
the drama of the ad history for
the podcast, my three years of high

42
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.560
school Spanish are definitely not sufficient to
fully understand what they're trying to sell me.

43
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.759
But A reminded of a tip I
learned from the show when you were

44
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.479
receiving incessant emails about Chumba Casino that
I thought might be a good one to

45
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:36.280
share again. On the iHeart app, you can hit the thirty second skip

46
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.879
button and it will override ads and
not force you to listen through them before

47
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.759
the actual show will play. This
was a game changer for me back in

48
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.599
the Chumba casino days, and I
thought it might help other listeners too.

49
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:52.159
You guys are seriously the best.
Thanks for all the laughs from Angie.

50
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:58.840
I do that on podcasts because I
remember when Blue Apron was a big sponsor

51
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.240
on every podcast asked and they would
take about ninety seconds to go through a

52
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.919
Blue Apron spot, sometimes prerecorded.
Sometimes the host would be like, hey,

53
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:07.159
by the way, let's take a
little break and talk about Blue Apron

54
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.000
and I would skip. Yeah,
which I felt bad because I'm in the

55
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.759
media business where advertising is our lifeblood. But that's the same thing with TVO

56
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.560
and DVRs. You get a chance
to skip. I do notice on Hulu.

57
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.360
When I watch a show on Hulu
or on Prime Video, I must

58
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.400
have the version where I don't get
a choice, Like if I'm watching Jury

59
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.879
Duty, it would stop. Did
you have to watch ads during Jury Duty?

60
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.120
No? I watched a Jerry Duty
on Amazon because that's where it's actually

61
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.400
on, So there are no ads
on Amazon. But if you, I

62
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.000
don't know how you would have had
ads on Jerry Duty. Yeah we did,

63
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.960
we had. We watched it on
Amazon too, but we might have

64
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.840
a version that's not like super Prime
or only one Prime. I have no

65
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:57.680
idea. All right, next one, Okay, let's try this one.

66
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.120
It says group therapy. I'm gonna
actually on that one and maybe saved a

67
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.000
group therapy. This one does say
Minnesota Goodbye. Been listening to Minnesota Goodbye

68
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.120
for a few years Dave Ryan Show
even longer. With all this talk of

69
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.840
legalizing maris at marijuana, I thought
i'd share a funny story from my stoner

70
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.199
days. You used to love to
put your show on while I played video

71
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.959
games and got baked. And I
remember a few times you had audio an

72
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.959
audio glitch where the Dave's Dirt theme
music is really loud in the background and

73
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.439
you couldn't do anything about it,
but decided to upload the podcast. Anyway,

74
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.120
that's not happening right now, and
it doesn't seem too And let me

75
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.480
tell you, listening to that while
high is something else. It made me

76
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:40.439
truly appreciate the nuances of that song
like a music connoisseur appreciate an symphony orchestra.

77
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.079
It took me places. So just
know that those episodes are very much

78
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.399
enjoyed by a happy stoner. Also, I have the infamous fifteen Thursday's episode

79
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.160
saved in iHeart and I go back
to it all the time. If you

80
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.720
ever did a puppet theater again like
you did with Nick the Stoner, more

81
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.920
of the Roses, I'd like to
see that one get a theatrical adaptation.

82
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.240
Keep up the good work, dart
Lick, dart Lick. What was fisting

83
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.519
Thursday again? No idea? I
think I think it was. Actually I

84
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:11.480
know what it is. It was
where it was like, did you blasphemy?

85
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.399
Got fisted? But it was about
like it was suppos to be funny

86
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.800
sounding, obviously, but it's just
like when you shook your fist at someone.

87
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.480
So many things you shake your fist
at someone, over't usually cutting someone

88
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.319
off in traffic. So it was
a very short lived bit fisting Thursday.

89
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:29.839
Okay, thanks for the reminder,
so Chow writes in and says Dave.

90
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.040
When me and my nine year old
daughter walked into the supermarket, I asked

91
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.360
her loudly if she still has diarrhea. Now I'm gonna stop this story because

92
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:43.240
when Alison was around twelve or so, that very I'm embarrassed by my parents.

93
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.319
Don't look at me. I don't
want to be with you in public.

94
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:47.160
We'd be walking into target and I
would say, Alison, do you

95
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.879
still have diarrhea? Stop? So
Chow says, I did that to my

96
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.639
daughter. She turned around to me
and said, Dad, I don't have

97
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.639
diarrhea. I guess I'll have to
wait till she's in her teens and try

98
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.519
again to embarrass or yeah, I'm
nine years old. They don't really embarrass.

99
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:08.360
They still like mom and dad,
but they change. They turn on

100
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:16.560
you a little bit later on next
one. Okay, spirits. Oh,

101
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.959
I was talking this morning on the
show about how there are noises in my

102
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:26.199
house and I cannot figure out what
they are. Last night, something thumped

103
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.800
onto the carpet, like somebody dropped
I said a fork or a knife,

104
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.959
because that's the first thing that came
to mind. But it sounded like somebody

105
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.639
dropped a cell phone at the foot
of my bed. Now, it could

106
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.759
have been the cat jumping off of
a dresser. Yeah, but it wasn't.

107
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.240
I don't think anyway. Don't laugh. But I just bought a ghost

108
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.560
hunting kit on Amazon, and sure
enough, you can buy a ghost hunting

109
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:53.040
spirit box. I would never do
that. I've watched way too many movies.

110
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.120
You're not a professional. You don't
know how to handle spirits. I

111
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.480
would never welcome them into my house
or tearing that thing onto my house and

112
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:04.079
they cur without a professional. If
you search on Amazon ghost hunting spirit box,

113
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.680
don't do it. I don't know
what the prices are because they didn't

114
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.439
screenshot the prices. But our house
has been haunted since we moved in twenty

115
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.360
years ago. We finally decided to
try to prove it. Dave, you

116
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:18.800
can borrow if you want. That
is from Kim Kim. No, no,

117
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.439
no, I'm okay with not knowing
it's it's. It doesn't frighten me.

118
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.439
Yeah, it more puzzles me.
Well, then it's not. It

119
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.120
sounds like it's. It would be
a decent spirit then if it is one,

120
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.480
because you would know if you would
leave you with some fear if it

121
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.639
was a scary one, right,
if there was something scary, then hell

122
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.920
yeah. For example, if I
looked up and there were like like a

123
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.959
pentagram drawn on the ceiling, I'd
be surprising drawing itself on the ceiling.

124
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.439
But if it was made of board
and brush. What if Susan has a

125
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.600
new sign that aren't super religious?
Okay? So a pentagram from Bordon Brush.

126
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:57.079
I'll bring it up the next one. Don't say a name. Something

127
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.560
happened again this weekend. I had
to get your opinion. About two years

128
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.759
ago, my brother in law and
his family showed up one hour early to

129
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.839
my daughter's grad party. We were
not ready for guests. It was an

130
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.480
hour early, and they sort of
expected to be entertained while we were setting

131
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.240
up. Now that's his brother in
law or her brother in law. We

132
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.160
found this quite annoying, but it's
nothing compared to what happened this past weekend.

133
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.519
You're ready. Oh God. This
weekend, that same family showed up

134
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.360
at two to a wedding that started
at four thirty. Now, I'm all

135
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.679
about not being late, but in
a case like this, being so early

136
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.720
is worse than showing up late.
And was it two and a half hours

137
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.480
early? Oh my gosh. The
wedding was in Duluth, so they didn't

138
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.360
It's not like they didn't have a
lot of options of things to do instead

139
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.399
of shown up to this wedding.
The parents of the bride were pissed into

140
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.480
Paul that they would do this,
which I think is appropriate. Is there

141
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.759
any way to tactfully address the situation. Should we all start sending invites with

142
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.159
a time that is two hours later
than the actual time so they show up

143
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.919
at the appropriate time. No,
thanks for the thoughts. Thought it might

144
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.879
be an appropriate topic for the Minnesota
Could Buy the regular show have a Wonderful

145
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.600
day? So many things wrong with
this one. What a couple of Clauds

146
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:20.960
or the family full of Clauds to
not realize that showing up that early might

147
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.320
have worked for you. But when
you're watching somebody run around and work on

148
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.919
getting things set up and you expect
them to like, you know, I

149
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.279
don't know, acknowledge or entertain you, that's the worst part. Like usually

150
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.639
even if people show up, they
will say, hey, sorry, we're

151
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.320
early. Is there anything we can
help with? And then you're like,

152
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.799
no, we're good or whatever.
But at least they don't they know,

153
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.480
Hey, we're going to stay out
of your way. Like Jake's sister has

154
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.320
been early for stuff and she is
just helpful or she's like I'll stay out

155
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.320
of the way or watch all of
it. It's like we don't care that

156
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.960
she's early, you know what I
mean? But yeah, just rude that

157
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.639
they expect you to entertain them.
You have that happen a little bit.

158
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:56.919
I thought they handled it, well, you work a little bit early to

159
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.879
that like illusions thing, and they
basically were like, you're early, We're

160
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.960
not ready for you. So they
just said, we're not ready yet,

161
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.240
if you want to come back.
Yeah, I showed up ten minutes early

162
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.320
because I really thought that's kind of
what they expected, was to show up

163
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.360
a little bit early. So I
walk up to the podium and she said,

164
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.679
yeah, we're great, check in, welcome, have a great time.

165
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:20.080
We're not quite ready yet. So
you know, we went down to

166
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.759
Cariboo and got a drink and we
were fine. But I think that what

167
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.840
you could have done, you say, to tactfully address the situation, Well,

168
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.200
I don't think that they deserve tact
to be honest with you, So

169
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.399
you had a choice to either do
nothing, which is what it sounds like

170
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.000
you did, which is not a
wrong choice, or to say, God,

171
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.240
you guys are two hours early,
come back in two hours. We

172
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.799
are not ready for you. And
I think that it's on them because you

173
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.960
can do it with humor and exasperation. Yeah, but that's not for everybody.

174
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.399
I know. People that would like
Julie, would have said it.

175
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.840
Wendy from my band would have said
it. They would have been direct Susan

176
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.399
would have said, oh my god, they're here two hours early. What

177
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.159
are we going to do? And
I would have said, just get him

178
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.159
a sandwich. Yeah. I think
that a lot of people fee uncomfortable with

179
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.000
that, so I think that you
wouldn't do that necessarily. This is I

180
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:15.480
mean, I'm a decently direct person, so I would say you are more

181
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.559
than okay. Now, if you'd
feel uncomfortable, you don't have to tell

182
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.000
him to leave because that might offend
him. You could just be like,

183
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.559
Hey, make it about you and
how you're sorry, even though it's ridiculous.

184
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.480
Hey, I'm really sorry. I
want to spend time with you,

185
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.559
but I'm so busy right now.
So if you need a drink, here's

186
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.440
where you can grab it. But
I gotta keep the party going or keep

187
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.559
setting up, because we had all
of what. I don't care he knows.

188
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.679
Probably I was a little bit uncomfortable
to one of Jake's friends at all

189
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:43.399
of his birthday party. We had
invited one of Jake's friends and his kid

190
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.679
was sick, so he was being
nice and showed up to bring a birthday

191
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:50.759
present, but he came before the
party. I was setting everything up,

192
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.919
and he wants to sit there,
and because they worked together, he wants

193
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.879
to sit there and talk to Jake. And I honestly was so annoyed because

194
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.159
I'm setting up all this crap and
need help. So I walked up up

195
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.639
and I said, hey, person's
name love you, but I need Jake

196
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.720
to help me. He can't sit
here and chat with you for an hour.

197
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:07.919
And the guy was like, oh, okay, yeah, And I

198
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.879
most people don't realize it. I
felt a little rude doing that to Jake,

199
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.000
but I was also like, dude, don't show up before a birthday

200
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.960
party, even though you're trying to
be nice and drop a prisent off when

201
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.960
that's you know, that's when people
are setting up. That's the worst.

202
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.679
Can you imagine? And you and
you live this like we're having a Super

203
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.080
Bowl party and it's supposed to start
at five and somebody shows up at four

204
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.080
fifteen while we're still putting the meatballs
in the crop pod and we're still running

205
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.799
around and putting table cloths out or
whatever. No, that's just and you're

206
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.679
busy scrambling, you're a little bit
nervous, you're kind of on edge a

207
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.519
little bit because you want to make
everything go well. Yeah, I don't

208
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.320
know. I think some people are
just a little bit They don't have a

209
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.720
switch or a radar for that.
Yeah. I've told the story before about

210
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.840
when I was in Scouts. Oh
yeah, there was one family and they

211
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.120
were delightful, and they were so
nice, and the kids were so polite,

212
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.039
and mom and dad were just lovely
people. But many times we'd be

213
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:07.240
running and scrambling making breakfast, cooking
sausage, making pancakes on a big griddle,

214
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.000
setting up tents, folding unfolding chairs, and they would literally follow me

215
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:16.679
around or follow other adults around and
just make small talk. And it would

216
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:22.000
never occur to them to help fold
the chairs, to help make the pancakes,

217
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.240
to help mix up the dough,
and they would just kind of and

218
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.759
then they would eat. They'll get
the old they get in line, get

219
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.200
their pancakes and sausage and bacon and
eggs. And then while everybody else was

220
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.919
still cooking or cleaning, they'd be
standing they're eating, and it was almost

221
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.960
comical because it was like, they're
nice people, they're smart, successful,

222
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.320
normal people. What's going on here? But they just didn't get it.

223
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.080
And that is it. That's it
for the Minnesota good bye this time.

224
