Speaker 1: It is Minnesota. Good bye time and Jenny, what are
Speaker 1: you doing later today? You have some kind of a
Speaker 1: cool thing that you are, like an influencer panel or.
Speaker 2: Something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm just speaking on a panel.
Speaker 4: It's just an event where there's a few other influencers
Speaker 4: I guess quote unquote in the Twin Cities that are
Speaker 4: going to speak on it. It's done by kind of
Speaker 4: like a branding pr social media company, and so yeah,
Speaker 4: you could buy a ticket for like ten bucks or
Speaker 4: something and then you can come see what we.
Speaker 3: Have to say. And I don't really know what I'll
Speaker 3: be saying. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4: They said us a list of questions already of like
Speaker 4: kind of what we're going to be.
Speaker 3: Talking about and stuff.
Speaker 2: So are you speaking too?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't think that it's a specific It's just
Speaker 4: the company is putting on this event. So whoever bought
Speaker 4: tickets for it and it did sell out, so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: And I don't.
Speaker 3: Think it's it's not like huge.
Speaker 4: It's not like three hundred people are going to be there,
Speaker 4: but I mean probably like fifty one hundred maybe.
Speaker 2: But I'm just curious.
Speaker 1: So it is people who want to be better social
Speaker 1: media influencers or is it the social media people that
Speaker 1: you know, like at some little company.
Speaker 2: You don't know who the audience is.
Speaker 3: I don't know who the target audience is.
Speaker 4: I think it's just people who want to learn about
Speaker 4: social media for the most part, and just like influencing,
Speaker 4: but it's not so specific to that. It's kind of
Speaker 4: like how do you even build who you are on
Speaker 4: social media?
Speaker 3: You know, like how do you whatever? So it's a
Speaker 3: lot of like branding and stuff.
Speaker 4: And I mean, I think that my experience is so
Speaker 4: very different than the other people who are going to
Speaker 4: be on this panel because they're like what I would
Speaker 4: define as actual influencers, whereas like I work in radio,
Speaker 4: you know, and so that's why I have a following,
Speaker 4: and I have a following based on solely a personality,
Speaker 4: I think, whereas some of the other people, like one
Speaker 4: girl is like a home design person, so that's her
Speaker 4: entire instagram is like home design, and so mine is
Speaker 4: very different because I just know other influencers who like
Speaker 4: they do something specific like foody stuff, and if they
Speaker 4: post anything else about their life, people aren't interested, like
Speaker 4: they're only following them for like foody stuff.
Speaker 5: The one thing that they're influencing.
Speaker 4: So I feel like we are lucky if you consider
Speaker 4: all of us influencers on social media, because we're allowed
Speaker 4: to post actually our life and what we like to do.
Speaker 4: We don't just have to post about the new couch
Speaker 4: we got and how we decorated it, you know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think, and we will all freely admit
Speaker 1: this and Fallon and I used to talk about this.
Speaker 1: We had two thoughts on social media. One is the
Speaker 1: main reason, the primary reason, if not the only reason
Speaker 1: we have tons of media social media followers is because
Speaker 1: we're on the radio and we get to to So
Speaker 1: when people ask me, like Dave, how do you get
Speaker 1: so big on social media?
Speaker 2: Get a radio show?
Speaker 1: And I'm like kind of joking, but it's like, I
Speaker 1: know people who are wonderful and they've got like.
Speaker 2: Three hundred followers.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then they'll post something up and it's really cool and
Speaker 1: it's like wow, and they'll get like a heart and
Speaker 1: no comments and it's like okay. So I mean one
Speaker 1: of the big things and then found and I admitted
Speaker 1: this one was we wouldn't have a presence on social
Speaker 1: media if we didn't have a big radio show, but
Speaker 1: at the same time, and this is where we do
Speaker 1: give ourselves a little pat on the back because the
Speaker 1: boss is not Rich or Greg. But some of the
Speaker 1: big bosses would say, you wouldn't have a social media
Speaker 1: following if it wasn't for your radio show. True, but
Speaker 1: we have cultivated and grown that into something that's like
Speaker 1: fun and respectable and powerful or whatever you want to say. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: just because we get the power of KODB to advertise
Speaker 1: our pro our platforms.
Speaker 2: You could go there and they could suck, right.
Speaker 4: I mean, you could look at some big people in
Speaker 4: radio in bigger markets and ours like New York, and
Speaker 4: we have a bigger following them.
Speaker 2: Then yeah. Oh, and it's true.
Speaker 1: And it always surprised me because I think a lot
Speaker 1: of radio DJs have said this forever.
Speaker 2: They're lazy, lazy, lazy.
Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons we've got ahead, is
Speaker 1: because all you got to do in radio to do
Speaker 1: good is to work harder than the other ninety percent
Speaker 1: of people. And if you're in the ninety percent, then okay,
Speaker 1: you're never gonna stand out. Well, good good for you.
Speaker 1: Give me your number one rule on social media, Jenny,
Speaker 1: what's your number one rule.
Speaker 4: Be authentic, don't be a do and don't promote stuff
Speaker 4: that you don't believe in, because like that's what realistically
Speaker 4: influencers do it to make money. And when you promote
Speaker 4: shit you don't believe in, then people are not going
Speaker 4: to trust you.
Speaker 1: I'm not in a position where anybody asked me really
Speaker 1: to promote shit at all.
Speaker 5: So we do that.
Speaker 4: But we do that with like our radio endorsements, you know,
Speaker 4: like we'll post on social media about things that we're
Speaker 4: endorsing on the radio.
Speaker 3: So that's what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's so it's like we've always said we don't endorse
Speaker 4: things that we don't believe in on the radio.
Speaker 3: It's the same for social media.
Speaker 1: Okay, very interesting. Let's get to the email and see
Speaker 1: what's going on. I was listening to the Minnesota Goodbye
Speaker 1: about how annoyed people are about kids calling in on
Speaker 1: no phone screen or Friday. How about instead of no
Speaker 1: kids ever, maybe once a month or once every other month,
Speaker 1: you do only kids, no phone screen or Friday. That way,
Speaker 1: kids still feel included if they know which Friday, it's
Speaker 1: going to be just an idea Happy Friday, Junior. That's
Speaker 1: from Tracy I think that's a very generous idea, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it because kids on the
Speaker 1: radio are too hit and miss.
Speaker 2: They really are. Some of them are.
Speaker 1: Adorable and so like effervescent and chatty and prepared and whatever,
Speaker 1: and other ones are like every other kid, Hi, what's
Speaker 1: your name Samantha?
Speaker 5: Okay, Well what's going.
Speaker 2: On in Pantha?
Speaker 4: Dave pausites for a second to like let them speak,
Speaker 4: and then when they don't, Dave has a jump hyah.
Speaker 2: Nahhing, great, well what are you doing today?
Speaker 6: Go?
Speaker 2: And you get the idea.
Speaker 1: So, kids are not good on the radio. So we
Speaker 1: we basically asked people a week or so ago, what
Speaker 1: do we talk about too much on the radio? And people,
Speaker 1: you know, took their time to to tell us what
Speaker 1: they like or don't like about the show, and it
Speaker 1: was very positive for the most part. But people said,
Speaker 1: you know, kids on no phone screen or Friday, and
Speaker 1: so we said, well, we're gonna make a rule. We're
Speaker 1: gonna do this on today's no phone screen for Friday
Speaker 1: sixteen and over please, and if there's a violation of
Speaker 1: the rule, we'll play the hockey horn sound just to
Speaker 1: have some fun with it. So I don't want to
Speaker 1: hurt Little Samantha's feelings if she calls in and she
Speaker 1: and mom is proud to get her on the radio,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna get the message out. Don't put Little
Speaker 1: Samantha in that position. Yes, yeah, and also don't don't
Speaker 1: give shout outs, cause we do shout outs, but not
Speaker 1: on Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Goodbye.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Tracy. Let's go to the next one.
Speaker 1: Did do? Here we go, Jenny Bailey, Dave and Vont.
Speaker 1: My name is Samantha. Funny, first time writing in. I've
Speaker 1: thought about writing in a lot of times and never
Speaker 1: got around to it. I've been listening to the Dave
Speaker 1: Ryan Show since i was in elementary school. For context,
Speaker 1: I'm now twenty nine years old. I gotta start by
Speaker 1: saying the typical y'all are my favorite. I know you
Speaker 1: hear it all the time, but I can't help tell you,
Speaker 1: guys how you truly make my mornings. I wanted to
Speaker 1: tell you, guys some of my favorite things that each
Speaker 1: one of you say or do that stick out to me.
Speaker 1: I'll start out with Dave, whenever you say something so
Speaker 1: out of pocket, and then immediately follow up with I'm
Speaker 1: kidding it's a joke. Yep, Jenny, I know, Jenny. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's anything you specifically do or say that
Speaker 1: sticks out to me, but I truly just love your energy.
Speaker 1: You have this positive aura that just shines bright, and
Speaker 1: even when you're being real on a hard topic, you
Speaker 1: do so in a calm and collected manner that just
Speaker 1: has positive undertones. It seems natural to you, Vont. I
Speaker 1: literally die every time you say justice for Vont, especially
Speaker 1: in a time where it's such a sibling like bickering
Speaker 1: topic between y'all. Bailey, you have this awesome, unique and
Speaker 1: quirky vibe that you bring to the show and I
Speaker 1: love it. Also, your sound effects top tier truly. Anyway,
Speaker 1: hope this makes uh, this makes it. It's kind of long,
Speaker 1: but I just had to tell you that you really
Speaker 1: do spark joy in so many lives just by being you.
Speaker 1: No dart licking for this girl, all right, Sincerely, Samantha Hubert.
Speaker 2: Thanks Samantha.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny when people say, I know you hear
Speaker 1: this all the time, and you probably get tired of
Speaker 1: hearing it.
Speaker 2: No, never, never, if.
Speaker 1: The show means enough to you to come up and
Speaker 1: tell me how much the show means to you. That
Speaker 1: means the world. It really does. And so if you
Speaker 1: ever see me out at an event, or you see
Speaker 1: me out at a Twins game or something and you
Speaker 1: want to say something and you want to say that,
Speaker 1: please do it mean that's that is the most rewarding
Speaker 1: thing we can get besides a paycheck out of the show.
Speaker 1: So and especially, you know, I think about this a lot,
Speaker 1: not a lot, but here and there. I think about
Speaker 1: how I was pretty much invisible in high school and
Speaker 1: didn't really mean a lot to anybody except you know,
Speaker 1: two or three close friends and my mom and dad.
Speaker 1: But to be able to mean something to somebody in
Speaker 1: their life now really is very powerful to me. It
Speaker 1: is and I think, you know, as somebody who blended
Speaker 1: in all my life until I got into radio, to
Speaker 1: have people come home and tell me that I mean
Speaker 1: something to them, you never get over that.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 4: It's it's such a like, I don't know, it's it's
Speaker 4: a strange feeling to think that there are people who
Speaker 4: listen to us every day because realistically I just feel
Speaker 4: like I'm talking to you guys in the studio.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. So then when you go
Speaker 3: out in the wild and someone's like and I'm like, well, yes.
Speaker 5: It's that.
Speaker 6: And like when even people I do know that listen,
Speaker 6: they'll think that they're like hanging out with me or
Speaker 6: you know, I'm sure your family is like that too.
Speaker 6: Oh oh golly had to do it, But yeah, they
Speaker 6: feel like they're hanging out with you. And because they
Speaker 6: get they technically get to because they get to listen
Speaker 6: to you.
Speaker 5: But you're like, oh, we were hanging out.
Speaker 6: I wasn't there, and so then you're like, oh, gosh,
Speaker 6: I wish I spent more time with my friends and
Speaker 6: my family.
Speaker 5: And they're like, oh, but I spent time with you. You
Speaker 5: just didn't know about. Oh geez, this child.
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh god, I hope like.
Speaker 3: You got a handkerchief over there you just hold on to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you a.
Speaker 2: Box of clean except my side through the show.
Speaker 3: Do you know if you have like dust or something
Speaker 3: in that house?
Speaker 4: I swear to God, every time you're there, all of
Speaker 4: a sudden it's coughing and it's snifflely noses and I
Speaker 4: just don't get it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you invest in getting your like pipes cleaned out
Speaker 6: or your filters clean whatever that stuff.
Speaker 5: You invest in that. Oh there's no way. It's the
Speaker 5: he's got thin air.
Speaker 4: He's got at least like eight sneezes in him at
Speaker 4: a time. Typically Bailey's two to three. I only get
Speaker 4: a one. I'm kind of jealous of you guys. I'm
Speaker 4: not jealous of Dave. I'm jealous of Bailey. I would
Speaker 4: go for two to three sneez I.
Speaker 6: Thought that they were supposed to like come in threes.
Speaker 6: They say, like, oh, sneezing comes in threes.
Speaker 2: I thought, so, yeah.
Speaker 1: I literally can sneeze forty times, and sometimes I'll sneeze
Speaker 1: like like like it's just so hard, so it's awful.
Speaker 1: They're one of my favorite jokes that I learned when
Speaker 1: I was like starting out in comedy. This guy goes
Speaker 1: to his doctor and he's doctor. He's like, doctor, I
Speaker 1: got a really bad problem. Every time I sneeze, I
Speaker 1: have an orgasm. What Yeah, every time I sneeze, I
Speaker 1: have an orgasm. The doctor said, well, what are you
Speaker 1: taking for it? The guy says, pepper, that's an slapper,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The first time I heard that song was from old
Speaker 1: some old That song. That joke was from old an
Speaker 1: old school comedian. And I've remembered it forever. So all right,
Speaker 1: next one, Hello everybody, Happy Friday. I'm cracking up listening
Speaker 1: to Dave talking about his ship dream. Yes, I have
Speaker 1: dreams where I'm covered in shit. I'm trying to wipe
Speaker 1: it off, but the towel has got shipped all over it.
Speaker 1: I got ship all over the table. I mean literally,
Speaker 1: there's a toilet full of shit, and I don't know
Speaker 1: what it means.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Somebody had said it's because there's something in your life
Speaker 1: that you.
Speaker 2: Won't let go of, oh that you need go.
Speaker 1: Right, And then somebody else said, no, that something else
Speaker 1: completely different. So this person goes on to say her
Speaker 1: name is Liz, and she says, I've never had that
Speaker 1: one before, but I remember my college roommate telling me
Speaker 1: about when she had one.
Speaker 2: In her dream.
Speaker 1: She had bags full of shit that she hung up
Speaker 1: on the blades of a ceiling, and when she turned
Speaker 1: the ceiling fan on, the bags exploded and there was
Speaker 1: shit flying everywhere, including all over the walls, over the furniture,
Speaker 1: all over my friends. She was trying to wipe it
Speaker 1: off her face. I laugh every time I pictured that
Speaker 1: actually happening in real life. Okay, well, I'm glad I'm
Speaker 1: not the only one that has a shit dream. Also,
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about taking ap classes and getting
Speaker 1: college credits here in high school. Somewhere in the middle
Speaker 1: of my college years, I remember meeting a girl in
Speaker 1: one of my college classes who was bragging to me,
Speaker 1: I got so many college credits in high school. I'm
Speaker 1: going to graduate college in two and a half years.
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, why the fuck would you want to
Speaker 1: graduate early? These are the best days of my life.
Speaker 1: I never want to leave. I proceeded to add on
Speaker 1: a minor t buy me another semester so I could
Speaker 1: keep living with my best friends, partying multiple nights out
Speaker 1: of the week, and hook it up with guys. But
Speaker 1: I know not everybody has positive college experiences that keep
Speaker 1: being awesome.
Speaker 3: From Liz Listen, I would have been friends in college.
Speaker 3: We would add a good time list.
Speaker 6: I mean, the reason I would want to go in
Speaker 6: with multiple credits is to save money.
Speaker 4: I was going to say that that's only the only
Speaker 4: reason for me, because I had one roommate my senior year.
Speaker 4: Because I lived with eight girls my senior year or seven,
Speaker 4: and one of the girls graduated a semester early. Because
Speaker 4: she had enough credit, but she still like lived with
Speaker 4: us and continued living in the college experience and stuff
Speaker 4: for like the duration of our lease. So that No,
Speaker 4: I totally would have graduated early to save the money.
Speaker 4: That's the only reason.
Speaker 6: But hey, power to you, that sounds great, Like I'm
Speaker 6: going to add a minor. I ended up adding like
Speaker 6: we we had miners, but we also had like major emphasies,
Speaker 6: so you could add multiple emphasies to your major, and
Speaker 6: that's what I did, and I still graduated. I was
Speaker 6: just like taking way too many classes in every semester
Speaker 6: doing but.
Speaker 3: Then did you have to pay more?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 6: Really, I mean you just like switched your classes around,
Speaker 6: and I would.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I felt like I was doing like
Speaker 5: a spy or whatever.
Speaker 6: So I'd switch my classes around so that they could
Speaker 6: serve multiple purposes and end up getting a double emphasis.
Speaker 6: There was definitely classes I took that I did not
Speaker 6: need to take because I changed my major like three times,
Speaker 6: so I could have saved even.
Speaker 5: More money and graduated even earlier. But whatever you live,
Speaker 5: you learn. That's kind of the point of college.
Speaker 1: So many things I wanted to ask about because I
Speaker 1: know Ginny and Bailey's college experience was like polar opposites.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess maybe not. I'm sure cross the line
Speaker 1: a little bit with you know, the party and things
Speaker 1: like that. But my daughter Allison was like, not the drinker,
Speaker 1: not the party er. She loved college for all the
Speaker 1: activities and clubs and things like that, but on Saturday
Speaker 1: nights and Friday nights, she was like in her room studying,
Speaker 1: or she'd go to like Applebee's with her friends or
Speaker 1: something like that, but was not the hookup and drink
Speaker 1: kind of a girl at all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I was definitely hanging out with my friends
Speaker 6: watching Twilight on Saturday nights. I never, I think I
Speaker 6: went to like three parties total in college, and they
Speaker 6: were all theater cast parties.
Speaker 2: So with every student in Pioneer Hall. Did you know
Speaker 2: that every.
Speaker 3: Every single I never went to Pio and women?
Speaker 6: Dare you say at Pioneer Hall Hof Dairy Hall Tell
Speaker 6: was the party hall.
Speaker 3: When I was there.
Speaker 2: Territorial is that it is?
Speaker 3: So now?
Speaker 4: The Superdome isn't even like where the kids stay because
Speaker 4: they built like new dorms that are fancy and shit,
Speaker 4: so nobody has to live in the slums of the
Speaker 4: super Block.
Speaker 1: All I know is there's a plaque in the hallway
Speaker 1: in Pioneer Hall that said, in twenty eleven, Jenny slept
Speaker 1: with every guy and fourteen women in this hall.
Speaker 4: I will say that my freshman year was probably my
Speaker 4: weakest year of hookups. There weren't that many my year. Yeah,
Speaker 4: could have been better, could have been better. You got
Speaker 4: to app up here shortly.
Speaker 1: Iye on Monday's Minnesota Goodbye, Ginny will tell us how
Speaker 1: many hookups she had in her freshman year.
Speaker 2: That's coming up.
Speaker 1: Send your emails into ryanshow at KDWB dot com. Love
Speaker 1: you have a great weekend. Thank you for listening to
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Goodbye Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
