WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.600 Let's start off with an email that says, I just 2 00:00:02.680 --> 00:00:05.679 got done listening to today's episode, and I am shocked. 3 00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:09.480 I am shocked. 4 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.240 That all of you guys, every single one of you, 5 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:18.160 likes Domino's pizza. 6 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:19.960 Oh yeah, oh love it. 7 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.280 I think it's disgusting. 8 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.600 Oh my gosh, I love it, but I eat it well. 9 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:28.719 We talked about this on the show yesterday. Welcome to 10 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.520 the Minnesota Goodbye, where we basically read emails of all 11 00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.759 flavors from all parts of the country, from every demographic 12 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.399 and all opinions, and we love the Minnesota Goodbyes. Honestly, 13 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.320 I like doing this better than the show. If I 14 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.000 could do Minnesota Goodbye all day, can you know? 15 00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:44.600 You know why? 16 00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.240 Cause most of the time on the Minnesota Goodbye, I 17 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.560 don't know what's going to happen. On the show, a 18 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.000 lot of the time I don't know. Like on War 19 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:52.600 of the Roses, we tape it a couple of days 20 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.640 in advance. I know what's going to happen. With group therapy, 21 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.840 I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but I've 22 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.719 pre read the email. But these I don't know what's 23 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.079 going to happen. So let's continue, Okay, of the chains, 24 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.079 Devanny's is by far my favorite. Then probably read Savoys 25 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.560 than Carboni's. Little Caesar's is even better than Dominoes. Anyway, 26 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:13.000 to each their own taste buds. 27 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:13.560 Lol. 28 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.920 So we had a big discussion about pizza yesterday, and 29 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.239 I think we were asking of the chain pizzas, not 30 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.760 your mom and pop local places, what is the best pizza? 31 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.599 Did we come with a consensus or did we just 32 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.879 agree on Dominoes was all really good? 33 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:28.359 Yeah? 34 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.079 I think we all agreed that Dominoes was good, but 35 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.760 also like our places like Devanni's are those I kind 36 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.840 of thought Devanni's was local in the Twin Cities. 37 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.239 It is local, But what I mean by like local 38 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.959 is like you know, the mom and pop like Troy's 39 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.239 Pizza Palace down the street, you know what I mean, 40 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.239 not a chain. And you can't really put those in 41 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.760 the mix because I might have a Troy's Pizza Palace 42 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.359 in chan Hassen, but you don't have one in Oakdale, 43 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:53.920 for example. 44 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:54.560 You know what I mean? 45 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.040 Well, the three that they listed I have never eaten 46 00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.120 at any of those reds of Boys, meaning are Carbonies. 47 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:05.319 I feel like the only fast like fast food pizza. 48 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.519 If that, if you could say that that I've had 49 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.800 is Dominoes and Punch pizza. And Punch pizza is delicious. 50 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:12.360 But it's not really good. 51 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.759 It's not like comparable though. It's like not the same 52 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.680 kind of pizza, which is why it's so good. It's 53 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.000 like different and delicious, so good. 54 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.000 I think one thing that everybody loves is pizza. I 55 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.639 do have a friend, an ex girlfriend, that she she 56 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.680 was kind of give or take pizza. She's like, yeah, 57 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.439 you know, not really. I'm like, what, but everybody loves pizza. 58 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:35.039 Yeah. 59 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.319 I don't think I liked pizza until I was in 60 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.560 third grade, and it was like a big ordeal when 61 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.120 people be like, let's have pizza, and I was like, 62 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.560 and I don't like pizza, and they'd be like, because 63 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.479 that's a big deal when you're like eight years old 64 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:47.919 that you don't like pizza. 65 00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:48.919 That's funny. 66 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.000 Isn't school Do you remember school lunch pizza being good 67 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.680 or not good? I will start with school lunch pizza 68 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.199 was always really good. I mean for school lunch pizza. 69 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.360 It wasn't like by today's standards that if you ordered 70 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:03.560 it to be like, it's not very good. 71 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.479 Piece kind of bland. But when you're in. 72 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.080 Five fifth grade school lunch pizza was pretty fucking good. 73 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:09.919 Ah. 74 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.120 I think it was good in terms of every other 75 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.039 option you were given, but in terms of pizza compared 76 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:16.599 to anything else, absolutely not. 77 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.199 Urs was not good. 78 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.319 Ars was not good either, and it was the rectangle 79 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.520 that fit in the like tray. I don't remember ever 80 00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.240 picking the pizza as the option at school. 81 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.080 Okay, all right, she goes on too. I'm going to 82 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.879 tell you one more pizza story. And this is just 83 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.560 something I'm kind of proud of. I taught when I 84 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.000 was I was a boy Scout leader. I'm not really anymore, 85 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.639 but I was an assistant boy Scout leader. And we 86 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.400 took the boys up to Rum River Scout Camp and 87 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.080 we canoed down the river, and then we stopped and 88 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.639 we camped overnight, and I showed them how you can 89 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.360 make pizzas in a Dutch oven. A Dutch oven looks 90 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.680 like a big witch's cauldron, kind of but smaller. And 91 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:56.360 they thought it was so cool that you could make 92 00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.759 pizzas in a Dutch oven. I said, anything you can 93 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.159 make in a regular oven, you can make in a 94 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.120 Dutch oven. And it was just kind of a cool thing. 95 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.360 So if you are a Scout leader, girl, Scout boy, 96 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.960 Scout whatever, teach your kids that they can make a 97 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.000 pizza in a Dutch oven and they're gonna love it. 98 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.319 Dutch ovens are so heavy though. 99 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.039 Oh yeah, bring a lot on your camp. Oh not really, 100 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:15.319 it's mostly for car camps. 101 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.319 Okay, I was gonna say. I was like, Andrew just 102 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.000 made something on a Dutch oven the other day. The 103 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.639 thing weighs like twenty pounds. 104 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:21.959 Yeah, yeah, it really did. 105 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.680 Another question, Dave, how come Susan never goes to Colorado 106 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.439 with you? Is it just because of the animals at home? 107 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.439 Just curious because you say you guys don't do a 108 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:33.879 lot of stuff together. I hope that can change for 109 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.759 you in twenty twenty five. She doesn't come to Colorado because, 110 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.000 you know, it's kind of my escape and it's not 111 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.560 an escape from her. It's just an escape. And she 112 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.319 does come sometimes, But for years I've come out here 113 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.360 by myself. I'm out here by myself right now and 114 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:54.079 I really enjoy it. Like yesterday, I you know, the 115 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.120 Orcan guys came, so I had to like clean everything out. 116 00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.800 I watched everything the mice had proud, you know, like 117 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.279 walked on silverware, utensils, muffin tens, all of that. I 118 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:05.839 had to find a place to put him because I 119 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.319 can't so I always have something to do. I watched TV, 120 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.639 I got on the treadmill, I took a great nap, 121 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.360 And so why doesn't she come? She comes sometimes, but 122 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.319 I think that just like sometimes a mom will be like, 123 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.399 you know what, I'm going to go away to a 124 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.319 hotel for the weekend. That's kind of me. I don't know, 125 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:28.800 it's just and plus I love it here. It's beautiful 126 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.920 and it's peaceful, and it's sentimental to me. Love. Let's 127 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.360 see a special shout out to Vaunt even though he's 128 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.279 not in the Minnesota goodbye. But I really feel like 129 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.639 some people get down on him for no reason. 130 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:40.240 Have a wonderful. 131 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.639 Friday and weekend. Not really a dart liquor. So all right, 132 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.079 Vaughnt's been kind of down you guys, because he feels 133 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:55.560 like nobody likes him. Yeah, you guys can jump in here. 134 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.120 Yeah you thought you were going. 135 00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.399 Yeah, I thought you had more to say. I mean, 136 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.160 I didn't know that he hasn't said that to me, 137 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.399 so I did not realize that, But I have like 138 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.600 tried to come to his defense on air quite a 139 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.399 bit because I feel like so many people hear one 140 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.160 little thing about him, which is usually stirs the pot, 141 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.399 and he's always pretty controversial on that, and then they 142 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.240 assume that that's the only part of his personality and that's 143 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.439 like so unfair because it's not. It's a tiny portion 144 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.399 and it's literally a bit. It is the point of 145 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.759 the bit. So I've tried to come to his defense 146 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.839 this last week to be like, guys, this is the bit, 147 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.120 like he's trying to stir the pot. Like, if you 148 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.120 thought about it really hard, you could probably stir the 149 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.480 pot every single day yourself with some controversial opinion that 150 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:43.879 you have, but that doesn't define who you are exactly. 151 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.600 What was what was it that he was up because 152 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.439 he does this like he's like nobody likes me in 153 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.439 I mean, like, no, people love you, no, people hate me. 154 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.199 But also Vont likes to be a little bit dramatic 155 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.160 sometimes he does. 156 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.879 And if he gets one comment or one text message 157 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.240 that says Vants an idiot, Vauant's a manchild. Somebody called 158 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.120 him a man child earlier this week, and he's like 159 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.160 people don't like me. They call me a manchild, and 160 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:11.519 I'm like, that's one person. Person. So because Vont doesn't 161 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.319 listen to the Minnesota Goodbye, maybe if you listen, you 162 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.120 can maybe send a text during the show and say, hey, Vaunt, 163 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.360 that was really funny, or Vont he's my favorite whatever. Yeah, 164 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:23.879 but you know, it just just to kind of boost 165 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.439 him up a little bit because he's kind of a 166 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.399 little bit down on himself because he thinks that people 167 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.920 don't like him. Yeah, and people, and I don't wanna 168 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.040 tell you this one. Vont is a really likable kid. 169 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:34.879 He really is. 170 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.920 He's funny, he's silly, he can be serious, he's a 171 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:42.199 hard worker, he's just a nice He's a kid that's 172 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:43.920 doing well for twenty three years. 173 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.959 Old, super well. And also he's twenty three. We have 174 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.800 to like remember that, like the amount of life experience 175 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.839 he has, Like I feel like so much of my 176 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.839 life experience in my thirty four years came in my 177 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.120 like late twenties to the point where I'm at now. 178 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.120 You know, when I was early twenties, I feel like 179 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.519 I was still a kid, Like I wasn't really fully 180 00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.160 experiencing adulthood yet. So a lot of his comments will 181 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:07.879 be about things like the other one the other day 182 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.240 that riled people up was that you shouldn't you should 183 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.839 get your present back if someone decides to get married 184 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:16.160 a second time from the first wedding, and it's like, okay, 185 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.160 von to like, how many weddings have you been to? 186 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.399 There's such a lack of life experience for him to 187 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.480 say things like that. And there's one thing I remember saying, Dave, 188 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.319 when I think I was like either brand new on 189 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.759 the show or as an intern, that I would absolutely 190 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.200 take back now today at this point in my life. 191 00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.759 And it was my friend from high school. She had 192 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.159 posted these pictures on Facebook and had like almost hennah 193 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:45.039 or something creative kind of put permanent or semi permanently 194 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.480 on her stomach for photos when she was pregnant, and 195 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.080 I thought it was like too much for me. I 196 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:52.799 was like, I don't know, I just feel like you 197 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.799 shouldn't have to be like sharing stuff like that that 198 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.320 should be private whatever. I would take that back times 199 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.279 one hundred now at this point in my life. Show 200 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.159 off your stomach. You should be proud of that. That's 201 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:04.679 like a moment in your life. Yeah, growing a human 202 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:08.600 and stuff but for me inexperienced Jenny, this is too 203 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.000 much like why are you doing that? 204 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:10.519 You know? 205 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.879 Yeah, And so there's definitely things that I look back 206 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:15.519 at now that I'm like, God, you're so young and young. 207 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.799 I have way less judgment now than I did when 208 00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:20.639 I was twenty three. I was so more, way more 209 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.559 judging and being like I would never do that, like, no, 210 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:25.639 do whatever you want, live your life. 211 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.840 Well, I mean, let's be honest, though we do always 212 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.879 get a little bit judgy when you know, it's like 213 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.120 that is part of our culture. Is like if we 214 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.200 see that our nephew spent his five hundred dollars tax 215 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.000 return on a Sony PlayStation and he doesn't have a 216 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.000 working car, you don't go, you know what, king live 217 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.039 your life that you'd like another dumb, motherfucking thing for 218 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.840 my stupid fucking net and so and that's what we do, right, 219 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.200 And so you know, it would be hypocritical to say 220 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.080 none of us ever judge, because if there was no 221 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.720 judgment in our society, then everybody be running around doing 222 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.879 whatever they wanted. So there is one of the things 223 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:07.279 that keeps us all a society is we do judge. 224 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.200 Like if somebody is talking really loud on their phone 225 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.000 on an airplane while you're waiting to taxi. You know, 226 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.279 you don't say anything, but you'll elbow Bailey and go, God, 227 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:17.840 what a what a dumb ass? 228 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.039 I feel like the judging that I don't do anymore 229 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.480 is based on looks, like what Jenny said about, like 230 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:25.840 getting henna tattooed on your stomach and judging someone for that. 231 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.279 I'd be like, who cares, Like, live your life. If 232 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.399 you want to cut your hair short, cut your hair short, 233 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.320 if you want to have long armpit hair, have long 234 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:33.879 armpit hair, I don't care. I'm not going to judge 235 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:36.559 you for it anyway. So that's what I've given up. 236 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.600 But like behavior, yes, I will dog your behavior. I 237 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.559 will judge your behavior till the cows come home. 238 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.679 Yeah, and we have to, all right, Moving on to 239 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.240 the next one. This is from Joey. Joey says, good morning, 240 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.919 Morning show crew. I've got some radio production questions for 241 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.519 you guys. As a topic. When you guys are playing 242 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.039 reruns of the show during Christmas and New Year's was 243 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.159 anybody physically in the studio or was it all just 244 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:02.120 showing music digitally scheduled play as I tuned into the 245 00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.039 throwbacks of the show as I get ready for work, 246 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:06.960 I just pictured an empty, dark studio with computer just 247 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.440 slave it away broadcasting the past year of Dave Ryan's 248 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:14.480 show Memories. You are not far from the truth. It 249 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:20.840 is really weird because radio now it's there's a way 250 00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.960 to do it without a live person attending to it. 251 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.639 Jenny knows more about it. 252 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.200 I mean, exactly what you think. What that emailer said 253 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.480 is how it is. I meant, and Vont does most 254 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.159 of the work at this point. I used to help 255 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.279 a little bit more, but like we just kind of 256 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.879 work on a schedule together and then Vont puts everything 257 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.799 into a system and then it just runs. And so 258 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.240 it's pretty much just like that. I mean, right now, 259 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:50.000 as we're recording this, there's commercials running on our computer 260 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.840 that are just going like minute by minute that we're 261 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:55.200 not doing anything with. It's just how the computer runs. 262 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:57.679 So that's the exact same way that our best ofs 263 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:01.200 run over Christmas break or holiday or something like that. 264 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.879 And it is it's it's in a dark studio and 265 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.080 it's really I mean, I really think and this is 266 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.480 maybe something the boss wouldn't want me to say, Katie 267 00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.840 WB was definitely unattended, probably for a week or so. 268 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:14.159 Is that do you think that's acting? 269 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.840 No, because Colt was in, he had to come in. 270 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.840 He didn't have as much vacation to be off during 271 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:21.440 that whole time, so I know he was in like 272 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.080 a handful, well not a handful, but at least like 273 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.440 three or four times throughout the break. 274 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.440 And I think Vont was here too, and I mean 275 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:32.039 I was recording stuff as well, so like I was 276 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.679 here a little bit over break, but like we weren't 277 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.320 like completely black but mostly yeah. 278 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.200 Yeah, I mean it's it's interesting because you know, it's 279 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.519 it's a luxury and it's a blessing because it used 280 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.000 to be when the morning show would go on vacation, 281 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.399 let's say twenty years ago, some you know, part timer 282 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.440 would have to come in and sit and change the 283 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.960 CDs and change the recordings and change this and would 284 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.279 load this and whatever. And now it's just automated. I 285 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.279 don't have an analogy, but yeah, it's all automated. But 286 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.879 it sounds really good and it's really smooth. But it's 287 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.519 no different than if somebody was sitting in there pushing 288 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:10.960 the buttons. But I'm going to tell you a quick 289 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.159 little observation. I made this to Jenny, and I'm not 290 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.639 sure Bailey heard it. So I'm in Colorado Springs and 291 00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:21.879 I grew up here and my mom and dad used 292 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.080 to listen to a radio station that I don't want 293 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.879 to name because they're actually in the iHeart family and 294 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.440 I don't want to get in trouble. But this radio 295 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:32.360 station has been around since I was before I was 296 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.480 a kid, before I was born. My mom and dad 297 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:38.200 grew up listening to this local radio station with like 298 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.720 local DJs, and they would play local music, and they 299 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.840 would do the weather, and they would do the sports, 300 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.360 and the news and the farm report, and they would 301 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:49.480 do all these It was all live and local and 302 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:53.240 it was just a very sweet mom and dad Neil 303 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:57.000 Diamond kind of a radio station, Okay, just very comforting 304 00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.559 kind of a radio station. And I hadn't listened to 305 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:01.600 it in year. I the other day I said I 306 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.799 was here in Colorado, and I said, Alexa, listen to 307 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:08.440 blah blah blah on iHeartRadio. And it was so fucking 308 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:14.559 sad because it wasn't local anymore. It was some far 309 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:17.519 right wing and I don't care that it was right 310 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.720 wing or left wing, that's not the point. It was 311 00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:24.519 just a depressing syndicated right wing talk show of a 312 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:29.000 guy ranting about how politicians hired someone to start the 313 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:33.039 California fires. And there was and it was all commercials 314 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:39.159 about you know, penis erection pills and investing in gold 315 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.279 and memory memory aid pills and hearing aids, and it 316 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:48.080 was just fucking depressing because this wonderful radio station. One 317 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.840 of the reasons people loved radio is because it was 318 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:54.840 like from a guy across town that also shopped at 319 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:56.679 the same malls and went to the same his kids 320 00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.600 went to the same school as yours. And it was 321 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:02.240 a sin and it was in the middle of the afternoon. 322 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.440 And I know, it's cheap. It probably costs that radio 323 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.759 station five hundred dollars a month to run this program, 324 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.360 but it was sad. It was like, fuck, where did 325 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:16.480 the local radio station go that played that was so 326 00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.080 wonderful and comforting and now it was all about dick 327 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.080 pills and buying gold and setting fires. 328 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.080 So just an observation, Yeah. 329 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.799 Manly stuff, dick pills start off fires. 330 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.120 It's also sad because obviously Colorado springs isn't like some 331 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.600 tiny city, you know. It's like I could understand some 332 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.720 of the small towns in Wisconsin that I pass through 333 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.559 where I hear like syndicated shows and stuff. 334 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.799 Because they can't afford to pay for anybody to work there. 335 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.679 Yeah, but yeah. 336 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:45.720 That's that. 337 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:46.600 Yeah. 338 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.120 Well, it was just sad. It was like, why would 339 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.519 anybody listen to that? Because even if you're a right 340 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.600 wing I don't there's no joy in listening to a 341 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.480 station that's only syndicated. Okay, moving on. Also, after the break, 342 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.000 Joey says, I caught up on old episodes. One point, 343 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:02.840 there was a mention there was old tapes of the show. 344 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:05.879 Has there been a discussion of archiving those episodes and 345 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.200 segments and making them publicly available. If not, I would 346 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:11.320 love to volunteer as tribute and at least get them 347 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.399 digitally backed up, as I'm sure there's a loyal market 348 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.679 of fans that would appreciate the history of KTWB and 349 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:19.279 the Dave Ryan Show. Just a thought to archive your 350 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.440 legacy and media for the future. That's really interesting. But 351 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.200 there are thirty years of archives that I mean, we 352 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:28.120 probably digitally go back in our system. What we just say, Jenny, 353 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.440 it's archives somewhere ten years maybe. 354 00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:35.320 Oh no, gosh, no, it doesn't go that back far 355 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:39.440 back anymore. Yeah, we changed systems about a year and 356 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.559 a half ago, so a lot of things got wiped 357 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.679 in them. But we've saved everything that we care about 358 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.679 that we knew we needed to save, So I would 359 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:53.759 say at least probably like six years for sure, and 360 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.080 then I can find random things from before that. But 361 00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:59.600 it's kind of difficult also because of a lack of 362 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.360 honestly organizational system that was put in place back then 363 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.960 before I started on the show. So it's very hard 364 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.559 to find things based on the person who used to 365 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:10.119 organize it. 366 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.799 Well, it's Steve, and Steve was a wonderful human being, 367 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.440 one of the funniest, kindest people you'd ever want to meet. 368 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.480 He was not an organized person, and he would basically 369 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:25.119 throw everything into a virtual box, everything, whether it was 370 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.480 I mean, he'd be kind of like if you like 371 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.519 brought your food home from the grocery store, and everything 372 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:32.279 from your frozen piece to your baking soda to your 373 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:38.200 yogurt all was thrown into one box. Yeah, and it's like, well, 374 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:40.599 how am I going to find my baking powder. It's 375 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:43.160 more behind the yogurt, Is it behind the frozen pie's? 376 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.279 Yeah, it's more like the banana was in the storage 377 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:49.799 room and then the pairs got somehow put in the attic. 378 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:53.880 That's kind of organizational system is with what Steve put together. 379 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.720 There was nothing. There was just no guessing there. You 380 00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:58.640 were hoping you could figure out a keyword for the 381 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:00.839 bit you wanted, and then if that keyword happened to 382 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:01.279 be it, you. 383 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:01.839 Could find it. 384 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.359 But outside of that you couldn't find certain Thanks. 385 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.119 Totally got it, and he wraps up finally out of curiosity. 386 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.960 You guys, are ihearted everyone didn't do tours of the studio. 387 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.599 I work in it. The radio technology and production has 388 00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.480 always sparked my interest. Would love to see how the 389 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.440 magic happens someday if I worked it out when I'm 390 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:20.119 in Minnesota. Anyway, Thanks for everything to do, Dave, Bailey, 391 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:22.640 Jenny and Vant to make our days better and bring 392 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.680 joy in an ever chaotic world.
