Speaker 1: We're arguing over who's the happiest on the show. I said,
Speaker 1: I'm the fucking bright light of the show because I'm singing,
Speaker 1: and I'm like singing to Bailey, You're welcome. In the
Speaker 1: words of the Rock, You're welcome, eighty Dudd, You're welcome.
Speaker 2: Normally he just has like a scowl on his face
Speaker 2: and then he laughs every once in a while while
Speaker 2: he's watching his funny reels that's normally out of him.
Speaker 2: A sudden, he's like singing, and I'm like, what happened
Speaker 2: in the last few minutes since I went to the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Sunshine, sunshine outside.
Speaker 1: There's a sign of spring. And I was telling Bailey
Speaker 1: about it because we are in the space little studio,
Speaker 1: and when the space needles not revolving, it sits stationary
Speaker 1: with us facing east toward Wisconsin, towards the sunrise. And
Speaker 1: when spring arrives, the sun moves up farther north and
Speaker 1: it shines in my eyes. And it started doing that
Speaker 1: for the first time today, so I had to close
Speaker 1: some of the blinds. So that's a good sign of spring.
Speaker 3: My favorite sign of spring is the birds.
Speaker 1: You can hear them in the morning. You hear them.
Speaker 4: Oh, that just brings me so much joy. In the
Speaker 4: winter at my old job, I used to like play
Speaker 4: throughout the entire day like a porch with like a
Speaker 4: wind chime and birds in the background, just to have
Speaker 4: like on ambiance to get me through the day.
Speaker 3: Because man, those birds really bring me.
Speaker 1: Like listen in the morning when you go out to
Speaker 1: your car, or when you just walk outside or open
Speaker 1: your garage door and listen as you walk into work,
Speaker 1: you and hear the birds. I don't know about this
Speaker 1: early in the year, but definitely in the summertime, it's
Speaker 1: a constant chirping. Email. This is a complete nonsense topic question,
Speaker 1: But who cares, says Rachel. Do you guys string your
Speaker 1: string cheese or do you just bite in? I like stringing,
Speaker 1: mind really thin, and my husband just goes for it.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about how that correlates with our personalities.
Speaker 1: He's more go with the flow. I'm more of a
Speaker 1: list maker. Thoughts. Hope you have a great day from Rachel.
Speaker 1: I bite in. I don't string my string cheese.
Speaker 2: Oh. I used to string it and now I'm just
Speaker 2: a biden.
Speaker 4: Oh I string it every time, but like big chunks
Speaker 4: because I am doing like tiny little strings.
Speaker 2: I'm doing right, You want to like get some flavor
Speaker 2: in your mouth, right, always get the tiktoks of where
Speaker 2: someone picks up a bunch of dogs on a bus
Speaker 2: and like takes them to wherever every day. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you guys have ever seen this, but they
Speaker 2: had their own little spots.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and they sit there on their bus like
Speaker 1: the students. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The other day, it was one of the dog's birthday
Speaker 2: and the owner gave them a big bag of string
Speaker 2: cheese to give to all the other dogs.
Speaker 3: And it was so cute. But in my head, I
Speaker 3: was like, what if he has dietary restrictions? What if
Speaker 3: that dog can't have cheese? What if? You know what
Speaker 3: I mean?
Speaker 2: I was like, this is the cutest thing ever. And
Speaker 2: also I would like to know how to have that job.
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 1: Okay, well look it up. You know what. It could
Speaker 1: be a second career for you, Jenny. You never know.
Speaker 1: Next email from Jacob. They say, in reference to touristy
Speaker 1: places mentioned Wednesday, I'm a huge believer every US citizen
Speaker 1: should visit Washington, d C. At least once in their life.
Speaker 1: I think it's a fantastic place. To visit for the
Speaker 1: knowledge and beauty of our nation's history. At the very least,
Speaker 1: most people should go because our federal tax dollars support
Speaker 1: many of the great monuments and museums there. I know
Speaker 1: many went down to middle school field trip at his kids,
Speaker 1: But if you haven't gone as an adult, I think
Speaker 1: you'd appreciate even more. I've been there five times in
Speaker 1: my life, three times before turning eighteen, and twice as
Speaker 1: an adult. I still want to go back. Just my
Speaker 1: two cents dart lick from Jacob. I've been twice. I
Speaker 1: went when Allison was little, so thirty ish years ago,
Speaker 1: and then I went fifteen ish years ago and I
Speaker 1: went to We were there for a short time and
Speaker 1: we went to the Smithsonian Space and Air and Space Museum. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could spend a day there. I might want to
Speaker 1: go by myself sometime because when I go with Susan,
Speaker 1: she'll be like, how long are you going to be
Speaker 1: in there? And I'm like, oh my god, this is
Speaker 1: Neil Armstrong's glove. It's his glove, and she'll be like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to the gift shop or I'm
Speaker 1: going to go get some coffee. So I want to
Speaker 1: go back by myself.
Speaker 3: It's I love it.
Speaker 4: We went when I was a kid, I was probably
Speaker 4: like nine or ten, and we loved it because we
Speaker 4: liked vacations where you get to learn something. But then
Speaker 4: I went again in college. We had a day trip
Speaker 4: to Washington, d C. To go to the Holocaust Museum
Speaker 4: and one other place I can't remember, and then I
Speaker 4: went for the History Day National contests. So then it's
Speaker 4: like a different vibe entirely. But the New African American
Speaker 4: Museum or African American Culture Museum something like that. Fascinating,
Speaker 4: absolutely fascinating. I could spend a day in that museum
Speaker 4: by itself.
Speaker 3: So cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The cherry blossoms are out for the next four months. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are headed toward DC to
Speaker 1: go see the cherry blossoms, which I would like to
Speaker 1: see sometime.
Speaker 3: It's cool.
Speaker 1: I've seen it, Jenny. Have you been to d C.
Speaker 2: I did because our good old buddy intern John does
Speaker 2: radio out there, so I took a trip out there
Speaker 2: to see one of his comedy stand up tour spots.
Speaker 2: So I did that a handful of years ago. It
Speaker 2: was with a girlfriend from here, and we didn't have
Speaker 2: like a ton of time. It's just kind of a
Speaker 2: longer weekend. So we did go to one of the
Speaker 2: Smithsonians museums, I want to say, the one that had
Speaker 2: like all the dinosaurs or.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, the natural history.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, so we did do that one. We walked
Speaker 2: around like that mall area briefly, but we didn't have
Speaker 2: a ton of time, so I really didn't see much
Speaker 2: of like the historical side of things. And my friend
Speaker 2: that lived there at the time said that, like the
Speaker 2: African American Museum, like you'll cry going in there, So
Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that I would like to
Speaker 2: go back and see as well.
Speaker 1: So many things there. Yeah, it's like, I mean absolutely
Speaker 1: thanks for that Jacob email, because that's a very important point.
Speaker 1: They're talking about dogs and Josie. This next email from
Speaker 1: Sandy says, I was so sorry to hear about Josie.
Speaker 1: Is such a tough decision to make. Making a decision
Speaker 1: for my dog Charlie in June of last year he
Speaker 1: would have been seventeen a couple of months later, was
Speaker 1: really difficult. One of the things that helped me after
Speaker 1: a questionnaire was the questionnaire you mentioned on the Minnesota goodbye.
Speaker 1: It had a question I hadn't seen before, and it
Speaker 1: was the one like, is your dog ready to say goodbye?
Speaker 1: And one of them was they don't enjoy the things
Speaker 1: they used to. They don't enjoy their treats and that
Speaker 1: type of thing. One of the questions was does your
Speaker 1: dog no longer react to something they you to hate?
Speaker 1: Perhaps that particular question is it relevant to Josie, But
Speaker 1: it helped reinforce to me that all the different factors
Speaker 1: and considerations that go into the decision, even when things
Speaker 1: don't seem as bad as they probably are on the outside.
Speaker 1: And then they talk about getting another dog, and that's
Speaker 1: something that I, you know, really am not wrestling with.
Speaker 1: I wish that I could find, like today, the perfect dog,
Speaker 1: maybe a three year old, small, happy dog, not a yippy,
Speaker 1: yippy dog. And I love all dogs, but I could
Speaker 1: never own. You know, there's certain dogs in my neighborhood
Speaker 1: that when I walk, I go on a walk and
Speaker 1: I walk past the house, the dog will be on
Speaker 1: the back of the couch. I'm sorry, I could not
Speaker 1: tolerate a dog like that. I could not tolerate a
Speaker 1: dog that's giant and energetic. Somebody said Hey, a friend
Speaker 1: of mine was on Facebook. They want they have a
Speaker 1: homeless Great Dane, and the Great Dane is just so
Speaker 1: cute and big, beautiful, brown, soulful eyes. And I showed
Speaker 1: it to Susan. She said, no, I don't want horse
Speaker 1: eyes poops in my backyard.
Speaker 3: That's what I would think of.
Speaker 1: Yep A's. Then they end with something totally different. What
Speaker 1: TV or movie or TV show that you enjoy but
Speaker 1: most people seem to hate? Mine is Gi Jane. I've
Speaker 1: never really thought about one that I really like that
Speaker 1: most people seem to hate. I'm more of a mainstream
Speaker 1: kind of a person. I can't, off the top of
Speaker 1: my head think of a TV show that I love
Speaker 1: that people seem to hate. Anybody got one?
Speaker 2: I mean, I have a Game of Thrones, because Dave,
Speaker 2: you've never gotten into that. No, Like, I love Game
Speaker 2: of Thrones and I feel like that's something that a
Speaker 2: lot of people don't like. That's all I can think
Speaker 2: of right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't think of anything.
Speaker 4: I think I like different TV than you do, Dave,
Speaker 4: Like yours is mainstream, but mine's like girly mainstream, like
Speaker 4: girls might like it, but like Bridge Orton Outlander, people
Speaker 4: like it though, it's just like a niche audience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's kind of like mine with my plane
Speaker 1: crash videos, because I will watch the play, I'll go
Speaker 1: home and I'll have a little lunch and I'll watch
Speaker 1: a fifteen minute plane crash video. It's called pilot debrief
Speaker 1: on YouTube, and it's a guy who's a former Navy
Speaker 1: fighter jet pilot, and he'll break down why this private
Speaker 1: pilot screwed up and killed his family and wife or whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then she asked another interesting question, what's a movie or
Speaker 1: TV show that everybody has seen the raves about, but
Speaker 1: you have no desire to see Wicked? For me, I
Speaker 1: have no desire to see Wicked. I have no desire
Speaker 1: to see Game of Thrones. And really, other than that,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of it. Bridgerton is not targeted
Speaker 1: toward guys my age, So she says hers is dumb
Speaker 1: and dumber. Everybody loves it. She has no desire to
Speaker 1: see dumb and dumber. Dumb and dumber is funny. It's
Speaker 1: just as stupid as you expect it to be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and dumb and dumb er er or dumb and dumber two,
Speaker 1: whichever one they REDID five is years ago. That was
Speaker 1: also funny.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't ever think I'll see Breaking Bad. I
Speaker 4: know everyone loves it. It's like such a good show.
Speaker 4: I will never watch it. Okay, it does not spark
Speaker 4: joy for me. And then any like movies with Gore, like,
Speaker 4: I will never see Saw ever in my life.
Speaker 3: I don't want to live that. I don't like Gore,
Speaker 3: I don't like but lud and Guts body horror freaks
Speaker 3: me out. I can't do it.
Speaker 2: My only thing I can think of is Star Wars.
Speaker 2: I'm not a Star Wars person. I never will be.
Speaker 2: I don't. I just I think I've seen like clips
Speaker 2: of some of like the first movies, and it just
Speaker 2: never it's caught my att.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like and we could sit here and
Speaker 1: try to talk you into it, but I would be
Speaker 1: like trying to talk me into Game of Thrones, right,
Speaker 1: and Carson love Game of Thrones, and we share a
Speaker 1: lot of common likes in movies, and Yeah, it's one
Speaker 1: of those things where it's like, no, I just will
Speaker 1: never really watch Game of Throat.
Speaker 3: Do you like Marvel movies?
Speaker 1: Du No, I hate the Marvel universe. Don't hate it.
Speaker 1: It yeah. Yes, movies with all special effects, all green
Speaker 1: screen is not exciting to me. I just not into
Speaker 1: superhero movies in the least.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I don't really care for them. If
Speaker 4: I see them, I'll forget them instantly, instantly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I did see a few because Carson wanted to
Speaker 1: go see Captain America whenever that was out with Chris Hemsworth.
Speaker 1: Is that the one he was in for Lilliam Hemsworth
Speaker 1: one of the other.
Speaker 4: No, Chris Hemsworth is Guardians of the Gallaxy. Okay, No,
Speaker 4: that's Chris Pratt, Chris hem I don't know, doesn't matter. No,
Speaker 4: Chris Hemsworth is Thor I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I didn't hate it. I liked it, but
Speaker 1: I never go Oh, a new Marvel Universe movie is
Speaker 1: out this. I totally respect people who who want to
Speaker 1: see that. I just don't like movies that are constant
Speaker 1: special effects because then it's like, yeah, okay, you're visually entertained.
Speaker 1: But I want a good story.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love the Coen Brothers. The Coen Brothers of the
Speaker 1: most fucked up plots of all time?
Speaker 3: What's the one with Nick Cage? Is it raising Arizona?
Speaker 1: I've never seen that one because I just saw.
Speaker 3: That one this year. It wasn't bad. It was weird
Speaker 3: because it's Cohen Brothers, but it was not bad.
Speaker 1: One brothers did I believe Fargo? Okay? And they also
Speaker 1: did a simple plan where it's you take something that
Speaker 1: should be an ordinary day, but you fuck it up
Speaker 1: so hard that you cannot extract yourself from this position.
Speaker 1: So I'll give you an example, and I'm not going
Speaker 1: to ruin the story, but a simple plan. You've seen Fargo,
Speaker 1: But a simple plan is this family. There's two brothers.
Speaker 1: One is like, you know, he's a hard worker and
Speaker 1: he just doesn't have enough money, but he's a hard working,
Speaker 1: good person. And then his brother is Billy Bob Thornton,
Speaker 1: who's a little mentally challenged and kind of a screwball.
Speaker 1: They find a crash drug plane in the forest. They
Speaker 1: live in the middle of the mountains, and that's full
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. They're like, oh, we got to
Speaker 1: turn it in. They go, no, let's keep it because
Speaker 1: this could change our lives. So they decide to keep it.
Speaker 1: But then things go wrong and it's called a simple plan,
Speaker 1: and Billy Bob Thornton because he's a screwball fucks everything up,
Speaker 1: and the other guy, his brother, tries to keep things workable.
Speaker 1: So good Coen Brothers and No Country for Old Men
Speaker 1: is another one of my favorite movies that I could
Speaker 1: watch over and over and over, so never seen it.
Speaker 1: They in the email by saying, love the show. Been
Speaker 1: listening since the Corey Foley days. I love the Minnesota Goodbye,
Speaker 1: and I think it's awesome for listeners to have an
Speaker 1: opportunity to contribute without the pressure of the regular show.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sandy, I really appreciate that one. That is
Speaker 1: uh and then she sends pictures of her dog and
Speaker 1: I just love that and it's so sweet. Thank you
Speaker 1: for sharing that, Sandy, and thanks for listening this long.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you liked the Minnesota Goodbye. All right.
Speaker 1: Next one, Elena writes in I lost my heart dog
Speaker 1: a few years back, and I feel for Dave and
Speaker 1: his loss of Josie. Though I was devastated, I needed
Speaker 1: that can ie injury energy in my life, and I
Speaker 1: got another dog about a month later. It was hard
Speaker 1: not to compare the two, but I love the new
Speaker 1: dog because I'm a dog lover to the core, Dave,
Speaker 1: I think that Josie would want you to adopt a
Speaker 1: dog in your loving home. I'm sure she wants you
Speaker 1: to be happy. I was avoiding my homework and window
Speaker 1: shopping for dogs. I attached several screenshots for you, but
Speaker 1: for some reason, River Dance really stands out as a
Speaker 1: potential Dave Ryan Flugelbinder companion. She looks like she could hike.
Speaker 1: Whatever you choose will be right for you. Also, congrants
Speaker 1: on another grand baby. Yes, Alison is pregnant with another
Speaker 1: barb and so they send a picture of it. Is
Speaker 1: sky a a little Corgie with a little scarf around
Speaker 1: her neck. Little puppy. Here is Shannon is a female
Speaker 1: golden doodle.
Speaker 3: That might look good for you. She's cute.
Speaker 1: I saw something going around the other day, and it
Speaker 1: was a vet in a vet office walking around to
Speaker 1: all the employees and saying, what's the most overrated dog breed? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I've seen these?
Speaker 1: Have you seen it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's always a doodle. Yep, it's always a doodle.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We should bring that up on the show maybe tomorrow.
Speaker 1: What's the overrated dog breed?
Speaker 3: Listen?
Speaker 2: I will say one thing as someone who watches a
Speaker 2: lot of dogs. I think, like you say, overrated because
Speaker 2: there's so many of them now, but they're great.
Speaker 1: Dogs, Like that's why there's so many.
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, my sister has one. She's an asshole. She
Speaker 2: is not like your sister is. Yes, and the dog's
Speaker 2: are right. The dog is an asshole, but she's not bad.
Speaker 2: She just doesn't like men and she kind of like
Speaker 2: gets snippy with men. But the doodles I watch are great.
Speaker 1: Well. Josie was a labradoodle and she was the best
Speaker 1: dog I could ever imagine. I mean everything about her
Speaker 1: she was. She didn't chew on things, and she was playful,
Speaker 1: and she didn't jump on people or bark, and she
Speaker 1: loved to exercise and she was always happy and she
Speaker 1: played fetch. She didn't know a lot of commands, but
Speaker 1: she was just her. She did her best. So cute.
Speaker 3: The one that you have open right now.
Speaker 1: It's a big it's a bag tan doodle yea.
Speaker 3: And they look got a sandy blonde hair, pretty nice face.
Speaker 1: She's adorable. Next one is Kaylee, and Kaylee is I
Speaker 1: don't know how interesting it is for me to like
Speaker 1: read these female Newfoundland Newfoundland dog makes breed. Another one. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a sweet wall.
Speaker 3: This person just sent you all these like pictures of dogs. Yeah,
Speaker 3: love it.
Speaker 1: This is a golden Doodle German wired haired pointer. Her
Speaker 1: name is River Dance. Now I would absolutely change the
Speaker 1: dog's name, but she looks a lot like a green
Speaker 1: eyed Josie with brown hair.
Speaker 3: He's cute.
Speaker 1: She is a door the River Dance. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe you know. You never know. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna save that email. Next one begins with don't say
Speaker 1: my name, so I will not say your name. I
Speaker 1: have a question for you and listeners. Long story short,
Speaker 1: my son's dad and I are not together anymore, and
Speaker 1: our son has not seen his dad in about two
Speaker 1: and a half years due to a lack of him
Speaker 1: not wanting to be in his life. My son's dad
Speaker 1: has two kids from a relationship before me, nineteen and sixteen.
Speaker 1: My son still remembers them and talks about them, and
Speaker 1: I would love for at least the siblings to have
Speaker 1: a relationship. How would I go about doing this? Thanks
Speaker 1: for your help and any advice you guys could offer.
Speaker 1: Longtime listener, don't say my name. I don't have any
Speaker 1: advice for you, except that dad's got to be on
Speaker 1: board with that one. The nineteen year old, they can
Speaker 1: do whatever they want, so you can reach out to
Speaker 1: the nineteen year old. The dad has no say in
Speaker 1: that one. But I would say unless the dad is
Speaker 1: a complete asshole, and maybe they are, then the dad
Speaker 1: should be amenable to the kids having a relationship. She
Speaker 1: doesn't say how old her son is, but they are
Speaker 1: old enough to know and remember the older kids. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't expect you guys have an answer.
Speaker 1: I would say you can definitely reach out to the
Speaker 1: nineteen year old, but maybe reach out to dad first
Speaker 1: and say, hey, what do you think they should have
Speaker 1: a relationship unless he's a complete asshole. And sometimes it's
Speaker 1: not just the dad, but it's the partner that's like,
Speaker 1: I don't want you to have anything to do with
Speaker 1: your kids. You're with me now, I don't know who knows.
Speaker 1: I mean, good luck, because they should have a relationship.
Speaker 1: Dave Jenny Bailey not to belabor the conversation un lost,
Speaker 1: but I want to share a quote that helped me
Speaker 1: through the loss of my dad when I was a teenager,
Speaker 1: written by JFK's mother Rose. It has been said, at
Speaker 1: time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain.
Speaker 1: In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with
Speaker 1: scar tissue and the pain lessons. But it's never gone. Now.
Speaker 1: Rose Kennedy lost not only a's son Joe during World
Speaker 1: War Two. He was a bomber pilot and he crashed
Speaker 1: like during a training accident, and he died. So she
Speaker 1: lost her like twenty five year old son in World
Speaker 1: War Two nineteen sixty three. She loses her son JFK
Speaker 1: when he gets shot nineteen sixty eight or so. I
Speaker 1: think she loses her son Robert, who is shot. She
Speaker 1: also had a daughter named Eunice, and I think Eunice
Speaker 1: had some brain difficulties. So they literally did a lobotomy
Speaker 1: back when lobotomies were a thing. Yeah, where they open
Speaker 1: up your brain and they scrape brain tissue out until
Speaker 1: you stop babbling or until you stop shaking.
Speaker 3: It's wild to me that they did that, yeah at all.
Speaker 1: Ten and so they did that to Unice, and Unice lived,
Speaker 1: but lived in a home the rest of her life.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Hey, we got to wrap up. That's the Minnesota goodbye. Sorry,
Speaker 1: we got to cut it short. But we are out
Speaker 1: of time. Ryan Show at kadiewb dot com
