So here's us some breaking news that I'd forgotten about that we are not required
to do the Minnesota Goodbye. I thought we were required to do the Minnesota
Goodbye, like the boss would say, you're gonna do that podcast. You
get your ash in there right now and do that podcast. And then you
reminded me that, no, we don't have to. As a matter of
fact, all the shows in iHeart were asked to do after the show podcast
and some did it for like a day or a month or whatever. And
we aren't required to do it, but we would not dream of not doing
it because we like to do it. And if you if you are there
and the numbers are big, and they are big, then we'll keep doing
it. Yeah, for sure. I mean I don't. It's not something
I dread by any meaning. It's like War of the Roses. I dread.
I don't know why because it doesn't even take very long. It's like
one of those things where it's like the dentist. You're not even at the
dentist very long. You're just like, I don't want to do that,
and then you do it. You're like, oh, that was easy.
It's not a big deal. But the podcast is never like that for Noah.
And it's kind of fun to find out what's on your mind too,
because it's very, very interactive. Jen writes in says, did you know
that Dave's Hot Chicken is all putting near Ridgedale Mall and Drake as an investor?
I didn't. He must be making good banks streaming his gaming. I
don't. I think she's joking, but yeah, Dave's Hot Chicken is in
one of the outline strip malls of Ridgedale Mall on the west side, but
it's been saying coming soon for months. I think that there is a problem
or a delay, because it would not take i mean six or eight months
for Dave's Hot Chicken to open up by Bridgedale Mall. If you know anything
more about it than let me know. Yeah, I've seen that. Not
with that, I didn't know that was there. I don't go. I
honestly don't go over to Ridgdale very often. I used to all the time
when I lived in Minneapolis. Now I don't like stop in the Ridgetail area
too often. But I've noticed that with like other restaurants or ice cream stores,
you'll see this sign excited and then it just never opens. You're like,
what happened? There was one over here, like Urban Walk or something
like that open. Did they finally open? Seemed like it took forever for
them to open. Hey, guys, love your show, but listening to
Dave since I was a kid. I just turned thirty nine last week,
so can't imagine my days without y'all. Not to send anybody into a rage,
but I listen on iHeart, and while I appreciate not having to hear
the Chumba Casino ads anymore, my app has recently become inundated with ads fully
in Spanish now. I laughed out loud the first time it happened. Given
the drama of the ad history for the podcast, my three years of high
school Spanish are definitely not sufficient to fully understand what they're trying to sell me.
But A reminded of a tip I learned from the show when you were
receiving incessant emails about Chumba Casino that I thought might be a good one to
share again. On the iHeart app, you can hit the thirty second skip
button and it will override ads and not force you to listen through them before
the actual show will play. This was a game changer for me back in
the Chumba casino days, and I thought it might help other listeners too.
You guys are seriously the best. Thanks for all the laughs from Angie.
I do that on podcasts because I remember when Blue Apron was a big sponsor
on every podcast asked and they would take about ninety seconds to go through a
Blue Apron spot, sometimes prerecorded. Sometimes the host would be like, hey,
by the way, let's take a little break and talk about Blue Apron
and I would skip. Yeah, which I felt bad because I'm in the
media business where advertising is our lifeblood. But that's the same thing with TVO
and DVRs. You get a chance to skip. I do notice on Hulu.
When I watch a show on Hulu or on Prime Video, I must
have the version where I don't get a choice, Like if I'm watching Jury
Duty, it would stop. Did you have to watch ads during Jury Duty?
No? I watched a Jerry Duty on Amazon because that's where it's actually
on, So there are no ads on Amazon. But if you, I
don't know how you would have had ads on Jerry Duty. Yeah we did,
we had. We watched it on Amazon too, but we might have
a version that's not like super Prime or only one Prime. I have no
idea. All right, next one, Okay, let's try this one.
It says group therapy. I'm gonna actually on that one and maybe saved a
group therapy. This one does say Minnesota Goodbye. Been listening to Minnesota Goodbye
for a few years Dave Ryan Show even longer. With all this talk of
legalizing maris at marijuana, I thought i'd share a funny story from my stoner
days. You used to love to put your show on while I played video
games and got baked. And I remember a few times you had audio an
audio glitch where the Dave's Dirt theme music is really loud in the background and
you couldn't do anything about it, but decided to upload the podcast. Anyway,
that's not happening right now, and it doesn't seem too And let me
tell you, listening to that while high is something else. It made me
truly appreciate the nuances of that song like a music connoisseur appreciate an symphony orchestra.
It took me places. So just know that those episodes are very much
enjoyed by a happy stoner. Also, I have the infamous fifteen Thursday's episode
saved in iHeart and I go back to it all the time. If you
ever did a puppet theater again like you did with Nick the Stoner, more
of the Roses, I'd like to see that one get a theatrical adaptation.
Keep up the good work, dart Lick, dart Lick. What was fisting
Thursday again? No idea? I think I think it was. Actually I
know what it is. It was where it was like, did you blasphemy?
Got fisted? But it was about like it was suppos to be funny
sounding, obviously, but it's just like when you shook your fist at someone.
So many things you shake your fist at someone, over't usually cutting someone
off in traffic. So it was a very short lived bit fisting Thursday.
Okay, thanks for the reminder, so Chow writes in and says Dave.
When me and my nine year old daughter walked into the supermarket, I asked
her loudly if she still has diarrhea. Now I'm gonna stop this story because
when Alison was around twelve or so, that very I'm embarrassed by my parents.
Don't look at me. I don't want to be with you in public.
We'd be walking into target and I would say, Alison, do you
still have diarrhea? Stop? So Chow says, I did that to my
daughter. She turned around to me and said, Dad, I don't have
diarrhea. I guess I'll have to wait till she's in her teens and try
again to embarrass or yeah, I'm nine years old. They don't really embarrass.
They still like mom and dad, but they change. They turn on
you a little bit later on next one. Okay, spirits. Oh,
I was talking this morning on the show about how there are noises in my
house and I cannot figure out what they are. Last night, something thumped
onto the carpet, like somebody dropped I said a fork or a knife,
because that's the first thing that came to mind. But it sounded like somebody
dropped a cell phone at the foot of my bed. Now, it could
have been the cat jumping off of a dresser. Yeah, but it wasn't.
I don't think anyway. Don't laugh. But I just bought a ghost
hunting kit on Amazon, and sure enough, you can buy a ghost hunting
spirit box. I would never do that. I've watched way too many movies.
You're not a professional. You don't know how to handle spirits. I
would never welcome them into my house or tearing that thing onto my house and
they cur without a professional. If you search on Amazon ghost hunting spirit box,
don't do it. I don't know what the prices are because they didn't
screenshot the prices. But our house has been haunted since we moved in twenty
years ago. We finally decided to try to prove it. Dave, you
can borrow if you want. That is from Kim Kim. No, no,
no, I'm okay with not knowing it's it's. It doesn't frighten me.
Yeah, it more puzzles me. Well, then it's not. It
sounds like it's. It would be a decent spirit then if it is one,
because you would know if you would leave you with some fear if it
was a scary one, right, if there was something scary, then hell
yeah. For example, if I looked up and there were like like a
pentagram drawn on the ceiling, I'd be surprising drawing itself on the ceiling.
But if it was made of board and brush. What if Susan has a
new sign that aren't super religious? Okay? So a pentagram from Bordon Brush.
I'll bring it up the next one. Don't say a name. Something
happened again this weekend. I had to get your opinion. About two years
ago, my brother in law and his family showed up one hour early to
my daughter's grad party. We were not ready for guests. It was an
hour early, and they sort of expected to be entertained while we were setting
up. Now that's his brother in law or her brother in law. We
found this quite annoying, but it's nothing compared to what happened this past weekend.
You're ready. Oh God. This weekend, that same family showed up
at two to a wedding that started at four thirty. Now, I'm all
about not being late, but in a case like this, being so early
is worse than showing up late. And was it two and a half hours
early? Oh my gosh. The wedding was in Duluth, so they didn't
It's not like they didn't have a lot of options of things to do instead
of shown up to this wedding. The parents of the bride were pissed into
Paul that they would do this, which I think is appropriate. Is there
any way to tactfully address the situation. Should we all start sending invites with
a time that is two hours later than the actual time so they show up
at the appropriate time. No, thanks for the thoughts. Thought it might
be an appropriate topic for the Minnesota Could Buy the regular show have a Wonderful
day? So many things wrong with this one. What a couple of Clauds
or the family full of Clauds to not realize that showing up that early might
have worked for you. But when you're watching somebody run around and work on
getting things set up and you expect them to like, you know, I
don't know, acknowledge or entertain you, that's the worst part. Like usually
even if people show up, they will say, hey, sorry, we're
early. Is there anything we can help with? And then you're like,
no, we're good or whatever. But at least they don't they know,
Hey, we're going to stay out of your way. Like Jake's sister has
been early for stuff and she is just helpful or she's like I'll stay out
of the way or watch all of it. It's like we don't care that
she's early, you know what I mean? But yeah, just rude that
they expect you to entertain them. You have that happen a little bit.
I thought they handled it, well, you work a little bit early to
that like illusions thing, and they basically were like, you're early, We're
not ready for you. So they just said, we're not ready yet,
if you want to come back. Yeah, I showed up ten minutes early
because I really thought that's kind of what they expected, was to show up
a little bit early. So I walk up to the podium and she said,
yeah, we're great, check in, welcome, have a great time.
We're not quite ready yet. So you know, we went down to
Cariboo and got a drink and we were fine. But I think that what
you could have done, you say, to tactfully address the situation, Well,
I don't think that they deserve tact to be honest with you, So
you had a choice to either do nothing, which is what it sounds like
you did, which is not a wrong choice, or to say, God,
you guys are two hours early, come back in two hours. We
are not ready for you. And I think that it's on them because you
can do it with humor and exasperation. Yeah, but that's not for everybody.
I know. People that would like Julie, would have said it.
Wendy from my band would have said it. They would have been direct Susan
would have said, oh my god, they're here two hours early. What
are we going to do? And I would have said, just get him
a sandwich. Yeah. I think that a lot of people fee uncomfortable with
that, so I think that you wouldn't do that necessarily. This is I
mean, I'm a decently direct person, so I would say you are more
than okay. Now, if you'd feel uncomfortable, you don't have to tell
him to leave because that might offend him. You could just be like,
Hey, make it about you and how you're sorry, even though it's ridiculous.
Hey, I'm really sorry. I want to spend time with you,
but I'm so busy right now. So if you need a drink, here's
where you can grab it. But I gotta keep the party going or keep
setting up, because we had all of what. I don't care he knows.
Probably I was a little bit uncomfortable to one of Jake's friends at all
of his birthday party. We had invited one of Jake's friends and his kid
was sick, so he was being nice and showed up to bring a birthday
present, but he came before the party. I was setting everything up,
and he wants to sit there, and because they worked together, he wants
to sit there and talk to Jake. And I honestly was so annoyed because
I'm setting up all this crap and need help. So I walked up up
and I said, hey, person's name love you, but I need Jake
to help me. He can't sit here and chat with you for an hour.
And the guy was like, oh, okay, yeah, And I
most people don't realize it. I felt a little rude doing that to Jake,
but I was also like, dude, don't show up before a birthday
party, even though you're trying to be nice and drop a prisent off when
that's you know, that's when people are setting up. That's the worst.
Can you imagine? And you and you live this like we're having a Super
Bowl party and it's supposed to start at five and somebody shows up at four
fifteen while we're still putting the meatballs in the crop pod and we're still running
around and putting table cloths out or whatever. No, that's just and you're
busy scrambling, you're a little bit nervous, you're kind of on edge a
little bit because you want to make everything go well. Yeah, I don't
know. I think some people are just a little bit They don't have a
switch or a radar for that. Yeah. I've told the story before about
when I was in Scouts. Oh yeah, there was one family and they
were delightful, and they were so nice, and the kids were so polite,
and mom and dad were just lovely people. But many times we'd be
running and scrambling making breakfast, cooking sausage, making pancakes on a big griddle,
setting up tents, folding unfolding chairs, and they would literally follow me
around or follow other adults around and just make small talk. And it would
never occur to them to help fold the chairs, to help make the pancakes,
to help mix up the dough, and they would just kind of and
then they would eat. They'll get the old they get in line, get
their pancakes and sausage and bacon and eggs. And then while everybody else was
still cooking or cleaning, they'd be standing they're eating, and it was almost
comical because it was like, they're nice people, they're smart, successful,
normal people. What's going on here? But they just didn't get it.
And that is it. That's it for the Minnesota good bye this time.
