Speaker 1: Here comes the Minnesota goodbye. Let's get started with an
Speaker 1: email from Katie sent to Ryan Show at Katie, but
Speaker 1: youbeat dot com? Are you curious to what Katie wrote?
Speaker 1: All right? Here she goes, Hey, friends, I had to
Speaker 1: write about something. It always makes me laugh a little
Speaker 1: when it comes up on the show. When you guys
Speaker 1: play games on the show, you always draw names or
Speaker 1: whatever out of a hat. I think it's recently turned
Speaker 1: to his tyrofoam cup. It resonates with me because that's
Speaker 1: how my husband and I picked both of our son's
Speaker 1: names out of a hat. I'm so indecisive. That seemed
Speaker 1: like the best way with our first and with our second,
Speaker 1: we let our older son pick the name out of
Speaker 1: a hat. It also makes for a great fun fact. Anyway,
Speaker 1: have a happy hump Day and keep on dart licking,
Speaker 1: Katie from Virginia. That's funny and that does make for
Speaker 1: a great story. As you just told us just now,
Speaker 1: what a weird way to choose your kid's name, right.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because we first named Alison Heather,
Speaker 1: and then when she came out, she didn't look like Heather.
Speaker 1: She was not Heather. Heather was the baby that we pictured,
Speaker 1: but here was this other baby, and so we didn't
Speaker 1: have a name for her for a day or two,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I remember, it came to
Speaker 1: me in my sleep or just I was about to
Speaker 1: take a nap in the hospital, and I thought Allison.
Speaker 1: And once I came up with Alison, I knew, and
Speaker 1: she is totally in Allison.
Speaker 2: And that's such an interesting concept because obviously I've never
Speaker 2: birthed a child, so I can't imagine like seeing a
Speaker 2: child and be like, no, that is not the name
Speaker 2: that fits them, like you'd think, like, how would you know?
Speaker 1: You just knew? Though. I think the thing was is
Speaker 1: we always said, oh, Heather's kicking, Oh, Heather's got the hiccups,
Speaker 1: But when Alison came out, that was not Heather. Heather
Speaker 1: was the baby that we imagined.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did her face not look like a Heather?
Speaker 1: I don't remember, Yeah, I remember. I remember she stank though,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she stank really bad, really and I don't
Speaker 1: know what the problem was, but Alison had the water
Speaker 1: broke early and there was some sort of not infection,
Speaker 1: but something in the and she stank really bad. Oh,
Speaker 1: and so I remember we they they they did the
Speaker 1: sea section. They washed her up a little bit. They said,
Speaker 1: baby's got an odor. And if you're in Guino or
Speaker 1: nursing or whatever, maybe you know what that means. Baby's
Speaker 1: got an odor. So they wrapped her up, wash her.
Speaker 1: They put her on a little cart and they take
Speaker 1: her into the nursery. And I'm in the nursery, Susan
Speaker 1: still getting stitched up. She had a sea section. So
Speaker 1: I'm in the nursery with little Allison, and I'm so
Speaker 1: excited and happy. I don't notice anything. But the couple
Speaker 1: next to us was like, you know, playing with their baby.
Speaker 1: And they went and they took their baby and rolled
Speaker 1: her across to the other side of the road.
Speaker 3: Yeah that bad.
Speaker 1: She's stunk. Yeah, I don't know what she smelled like,
Speaker 1: because I didn't smell anything.
Speaker 3: That's a good story though. I like that. My mom said,
Speaker 3: when I came out, I was cross eyed. She cried
Speaker 3: because she thought there was something wrong with me because
Speaker 3: I had cross eyes.
Speaker 1: I think babies come out sometimes lit cross eyed or
Speaker 1: their head is smushy. So what's funny is that it
Speaker 1: never went back with you. Your guys are still.
Speaker 3: Cross still a little cross And I don't.
Speaker 1: Know whether you're looking at me or looking at Jenny.
Speaker 2: Which one do you normally look when you look at Bailey.
Speaker 1: Her left eye, that's the one he usually looks at me.
Speaker 3: I look at both of you at the same time.
Speaker 1: So oh, actually, Bailey, actually you're one of your best
Speaker 1: features are your beautiful twinkling k eyes. Thank you wow,
Speaker 1: So thank you Katie for the email. Next one this
Speaker 1: is which is from Kristen and she says, which fictional
Speaker 1: Animal Friends sidekick would you choose to have in real life?
Speaker 1: Mine would be Marrichute, the giant golden eagle from Rescue
Speaker 1: is John under flying around and feeling so safe and free?
Speaker 1: Would be Incredibles, Love you guys, slow Mode, dart Lick
Speaker 1: and Action from Kristen. Mine would probably be Scooby Doo
Speaker 1: because he's fun and we both love treats.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: What was fictional?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: Just character?
Speaker 1: Animal friend or sidekick?
Speaker 3: Garfield? Probably because he's a fat orange count that's my favorite.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he likes to nap and eats the lasagna
Speaker 1: and me too.
Speaker 2: And I think I would do Snoopy just because Snoopy
Speaker 2: is very like happy go Lucky, you know.
Speaker 1: Okay, good one thank you. I appreciate that. Totally random,
Speaker 1: but I love that one. Rachel writes in, this is
Speaker 1: so sweet, and I wish I could show you the picture,
Speaker 1: but it is very sweet. So let me describe this
Speaker 1: email or read the email. Rachel writes in, you guys
Speaker 1: were talking about blankets and stuffed animals from your childhood.
Speaker 1: When I was about two, my grandpa gave me a
Speaker 1: stuff brown dog, and I named him creatively, brown Puppy.
Speaker 1: I brought that puppy with me everywhere until I was
Speaker 1: probably eight or nine. He stayed in my room in
Speaker 1: a special place, and he always moved with me to
Speaker 1: my college dorm, my first apartment, and my now husband
Speaker 1: to our first house. He has been kept in our
Speaker 1: closet up until a few months ago. A few months ago,
Speaker 1: our two and a half year old toddler moved to
Speaker 1: a big kid bed was having trouble getting used to
Speaker 1: his new bed, so I pulled brown Puppy out and
Speaker 1: gave him to our toddler and said, brown Puppy was
Speaker 1: mama's puppy, and he's been lonely for a really long time,
Speaker 1: and he needs a new friend to play with and
Speaker 1: sleep with at night. Our little boy took to it
Speaker 1: so well, and now the little boy and brown puppy
Speaker 1: are inseparable. It filled my heart and brings tears of
Speaker 1: my eyes frequently watching him love this tough animal the
Speaker 1: way I once did. I emailed a few weeks ago
Speaker 1: that I'm newly pregnant. So on Monday, I had my
Speaker 1: first ultrasound at eight weeks and we showed our two
Speaker 1: and a half year old the ultrasound picture and he
Speaker 1: ran to get Brown puppy and said, I show brown puppy.
Speaker 1: I show Brown puppy. And so in the picture that
Speaker 1: she attached is a picture of a little toddler holding
Speaker 1: an ultrasound up to brown Puppy's nose so brown puppy
Speaker 1: can see. Now I'm going to swing it around so
Speaker 1: you two can see. But this is not something that
Speaker 1: you know. I mean it is basically it's a little
Speaker 1: toddler with brown puppy.
Speaker 3: Cute. That's so cute.
Speaker 1: Is an adorable story, Rachel, thank you for sharing that story.
Speaker 3: Brown pup puppy looks like pretty good for ware. Honestly,
Speaker 3: he does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the same thing.
Speaker 3: Dang.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Alison had a little baby bunny and he had
Speaker 1: jelly stains on him, and the bow around his neck
Speaker 1: was missing, and maybe an eye was missing. I don't
Speaker 1: really know, but brown Puppy pretty darn good show.
Speaker 3: I say, teddy bear with an eye that's missing. But
Speaker 3: I bought him at a garage sale when I was fifteen,
Speaker 3: so I was too old, but I saw him and
Speaker 3: I thought, this teddy bear has seen some things and
Speaker 3: I want to take him home. He smelled like mothballs,
Speaker 3: so he had to live in the garage for a
Speaker 3: little bit to air out. But he still sleeps on
Speaker 3: my bed. He's so stinking cute and he's like people size,
Speaker 3: so you can hold him in.
Speaker 1: Oh aw adorable. Ah Uh, this is funny and distasteful,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna read it anyway. You ready for funny
Speaker 1: and distasteful? Yeah, don't say my name. Hey guys, it's
Speaker 1: been a while since I've written in I have a
Speaker 1: public has surch for his announcement for everyone, wash your
Speaker 1: damn butthole. My work has one single stall bathroom for
Speaker 1: the four females that work there. Every time I go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom after one employee just in there, the
Speaker 1: entire bathroom stinks like butt like girls. Seriously, wash your ass.
Speaker 1: It should not be smelling like that every day. And no,
Speaker 1: she didn't just get done pooping. Otherwise I would at
Speaker 1: least have the smell of shit flowers to cover up
Speaker 1: that stench. That is all love you, guys. I wish
Speaker 1: Wannita would have been the one to read this email
Speaker 1: out loud on her weekly ramp. I will say that
Speaker 1: we back in Ohio, there was we called it the
Speaker 1: DJ bathroom because there was a big bathroom in the
Speaker 1: office building that had to go outside down the hall
Speaker 1: around the corner. Blah blah blah blah blah. But there
Speaker 1: was a one unisex DJ bathroom twenty steps away from
Speaker 1: the studio. But people who were not DJs would use
Speaker 1: this bathroom frequently. And there was one woman. And I
Speaker 1: hate to sound I hope it doesn't sound sexist at all,
Speaker 1: but everybody knew that after she was in the bathroom,
Speaker 1: it was bad. And I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1: It was like dirty butthole or you know.
Speaker 3: Kidney, or your folds kind of Stinkwell, yeah.
Speaker 1: But you did not want to go in there after
Speaker 1: her because it was and it wasn't poop. It was
Speaker 1: just like a like.
Speaker 3: A yes, like a like a spicy stink.
Speaker 1: Not even spicy, more of like somebody clubbed you in
Speaker 1: the face with a cushion baseball bat. Not a hard
Speaker 1: baseball bat, yeah, but a cushion baseball bat.
Speaker 3: Great, that's so gross.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's sexist at all. It means that
Speaker 2: she clearly had issues. But it's funny to hear, Like
Speaker 2: you can tell the difference between a poop smell and
Speaker 2: you didn't wash your butthhole smell. I feel like they
Speaker 2: would be pretty simpler.
Speaker 3: See, Okay, this is kind of gross, but Jenny, you'll
Speaker 3: probably get this that there is a difference between like
Speaker 3: poop smell and then like you have your period smell. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because that's the smell that gets me is when you
Speaker 3: go into the bathroom and you can tell whoever was
Speaker 3: right before you has their period bad and hasn't wiped
Speaker 3: in like a hot minute.
Speaker 1: This is all new to me. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know anything about this.
Speaker 3: It's just like a very specific, like earthy, spicy stink.
Speaker 3: And if you get a period, you know it, you
Speaker 3: know it, and it's bad, you do know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've lived all these years of my life and I
Speaker 1: never knew this.
Speaker 3: Well, you're welcome. Sorry for being correlat of things that.
Speaker 1: I didn't need to know. Moving on, Sarah writes in
Speaker 1: Hello Morning Crew. First of all, Dave, I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: hear about Josie. Losing a pet is so hard. Thinking
Speaker 1: of you, Thank you, and thanks to anybody who's reached out.
Speaker 1: It really is comforting to know that so many people
Speaker 1: go through this. If we all do, if we have
Speaker 1: a pet, we've been through it or we know that
Speaker 1: it's coming, hopefully a long time from now. I also
Speaker 1: shed a tear hearrying about Carson's baby blanket story. I
Speaker 1: told the story yesterday. Carson got a baby blanket from
Speaker 1: the receptionist here at the time, Kim, when he was born,
Speaker 1: a little boot blue blanket, and he loved it, and
Speaker 1: he carried it with him to college, to vacation. If
Speaker 1: we went to like I don't know, if we went
Speaker 1: to out of Wisconsin Del's, he took it along. He
Speaker 1: slept with it. He kept it under his blankets in
Speaker 1: college so his roommates wouldn't know about it. I don't
Speaker 1: think he took it to boy Scout camp, but he
Speaker 1: might have. I don't know, And he believe it or not.
Speaker 1: Last year around this time or in the fall, he
Speaker 1: took it with him to China on the Louve tour
Speaker 1: and he forgot it in a hotel and we called
Speaker 1: the hotel, but with the language barrier, they didn't really
Speaker 1: quite understand and they said they would look for it,
Speaker 1: but we're not sure they even understood what we were talking,
Speaker 1: so we never heard from them. Yeah, so he lost
Speaker 1: his blue blanket and he hasn't brought it up really
Speaker 1: since then, but it was really hard for him. She said,
Speaker 1: I've had one since I was a baby. I am
Speaker 1: now forty seven, and I still sleep with it every night.
Speaker 1: No shame. In my game picture of it is attached.
Speaker 1: I've seen better days. Now I'm going to describe this
Speaker 1: blanket rather than show it to because I can say, oh,
Speaker 1: Jenny and Bailey, look, but I'm going to describe it.
Speaker 1: You spill water on the k encounter, you grab a
Speaker 1: cheap paper towel and you wipe it up. Now your
Speaker 1: paper towel is full of holes, corners are torn off.
Speaker 1: It doesn't resemble a new paper towel at all. It
Speaker 1: is kind of shredded. Yeah, that's what this blanket looks like. No,
Speaker 1: it doesn't look stained.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is. I mean, seriously, this looks like
Speaker 1: it belongs in a museum under plexiglass somewhere, because I
Speaker 1: don't know how she keeps it even round. A quick
Speaker 1: question for you guys. Do you ever have any recurring dreams?
Speaker 1: I do. My dream is always some form of I
Speaker 1: need to pack up and get somewhere, but I'm having
Speaker 1: trouble packing up. My stuff is scattered all over the place.
Speaker 1: I can't find my suitcase. We got to get to
Speaker 1: the airport in another twenty minutes, and oh my god.
Speaker 1: Or I have the one where I'm late for school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, school starts in a half an hour.
Speaker 1: I got to get there. My car's out of gas.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have dreams where I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get somewhere and have trouble get They're the worst.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're the worst. Yeah, I don't. I don't have
Speaker 2: those like often, but I'll have those every once in
Speaker 2: a while. Mine is that I don't have enough credits
Speaker 2: to graduate college on time. I have that one. I
Speaker 2: haven't had it in a while, but I used to
Speaker 2: have it pretty frequently and it's so frustrating, and I'm like, what,
Speaker 2: I just spent all these years and now I'm not
Speaker 2: going to graduate like on time, and now I have
Speaker 2: to pay more for tuition to do another whole semester
Speaker 2: of college.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Mine, mine is I'm at my dad's house and it's nighttime,
Speaker 3: and I have to get away from a bad guy.
Speaker 3: I don't see the bad guy ever, but I end
Speaker 3: up trying to evade him in my dad's house and
Speaker 3: then I finally get outside, and then I just run
Speaker 3: down the street in the neighborhood and I start like
Speaker 3: going through other people's yards to try and thwart off
Speaker 3: this bad guy, but I never actually see them.
Speaker 2: As you wake up, Cepy, do you wake up with
Speaker 2: like a heart racing.
Speaker 3: It's weird because it's it doesn't feel like a nightmare.
Speaker 3: It just feels like I'm running and running and running
Speaker 3: away from something. But it's always at my dad's house,
Speaker 3: and it's always at night time in the summer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a lot of dreams that take place
Speaker 1: at my parents' house that I grew up in in Colorado,
Speaker 1: and I don't know why. I mean, it's a very
Speaker 1: special place to me. But like once in a while,
Speaker 1: I'll be working at the radio station. But it's in
Speaker 1: my old bedroom. Yeah, And for some reason, the radio
Speaker 1: station's like right there and it makes total sense, and
Speaker 1: it's there in my bedroom. Or it's night time and
Speaker 1: I get you ready for the morning show and I'm
Speaker 1: in my old bedroom. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty thankful that I don't have like dreams
Speaker 3: in general much anymore. Like I sleep pretty decently because sometimes,
Speaker 3: like when you're in a bad bed, woof, you like
Speaker 3: sleep and dream constantly.
Speaker 1: I think I dream constantly, but they're all mostly very comforting.
Speaker 2: Oh Dan, Yeah, yeah, my dream all the time. I
Speaker 2: are not though, I just know it's because I have anxiety.
Speaker 1: Last email, I was listening to older episodes of the
Speaker 1: show on the iHeartRadio app. I think it was May
Speaker 1: of last year. You were trying out new taglines and
Speaker 1: slogans for the show, Dave. You would read them and
Speaker 1: make a joke about how stupid they were. At one point,
Speaker 1: Dave called Rich to joke about how terrible they were,
Speaker 1: and Rich got really serious and said, say them anyway,
Speaker 1: because Corporate paid a lot of money to research good
Speaker 1: slogans for the show. I remember that they were just
Speaker 1: ridiculous slogans. I wish I still had them written down,
Speaker 1: but they emailed like, say these slogans on the show,
Speaker 1: and it was something like a little burst of sunshine
Speaker 1: every morning, the Dave Ryan Show popping up on your
Speaker 1: radio to bring you a little joy in your life. Something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fucking stupid. And I would read them sarcastically, and I'd
Speaker 1: be like, I can't believe we got to read this stuff.
Speaker 1: And Rich called in and he said, stop making fun
Speaker 1: of the slogans. Our research department spend a lot of
Speaker 1: time and money to research these. So I would read
Speaker 1: them as straight faced as I can. And then Rich
Speaker 1: called later that day and said, you fucking dummy, that's
Speaker 1: a joke something like that. Yeah, do you remember that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember it. I think this was the in
Speaker 3: between time of me stubbing and me on the show,
Speaker 3: so I didn't.
Speaker 1: Hear any was here early.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was here. Yes.
Speaker 1: So it was all a set up, Richard. Apparently you
Speaker 1: and rich had written up these awful stupid taglines yep,
Speaker 1: and I had to read them. But it was all
Speaker 1: a joke to see whether I would fall for it,
Speaker 1: and I did, but I didn't, but once he chewed
Speaker 1: me out, then I did what I was supposed to
Speaker 1: do and it was a joke. Anyway, my question is
Speaker 1: what happened to those lines and was Rich really upset
Speaker 1: with you for calling him to make jokes about them
Speaker 1: or was that part of the bit. No, it was.
Speaker 1: I've explained it, so now you get it. So oh,
Speaker 1: you guys, you're so funny. Minnesota, Goodbye. Send your emails
Speaker 1: to Ryan's show at KADIWB dot com.
