Speaker 1: I looked at the email, and the first thing I
Speaker 1: saw was a long, long dialogue of chat GPT, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I couldn't figure out why, but somebody
Speaker 1: said that if you can, don't want to do therapy,
Speaker 1: And I don't want to do therapy because I'm worried
Speaker 1: that my therapist would be a big listener of the
Speaker 1: show and she would find out that I'm a plushy.
Speaker 1: Is it a plushy that I hurry a free Yeah?
Speaker 1: And so I'd be embarrassed that I'm I'm a furry
Speaker 1: I get turned on by, you know, stuffed animal costumes.
Speaker 1: And then she would go home and tell her partner, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I therapized Dave Ryan today. You know what he's into
Speaker 1: stuffed animal costumes. They'd all laugh and they'd get on like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know Instagram and say guess what day.
Speaker 1: So I'm worried.
Speaker 2: If the therapist did that, So can't do that.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's here's another to be a little bit more serious,
Speaker 1: even if she was kept it to herself. Let's say
Speaker 1: I told Jenny something really embarrassing and personal. I know
Speaker 1: you wouldn't tell anybody, but I'd still be embarrassed to
Speaker 1: tell you because I know you. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So that's why you don't tell me. You tell someone
Speaker 3: who you don't know, like a therapist.
Speaker 1: Well, what if she listens to the show?
Speaker 2: I mean, there is at risk or I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean I've been to therapy and I've had two
Speaker 3: different therapists and one of them was not local, and
Speaker 3: I did talk about how I broke up with my
Speaker 3: other one because I didn't like that she knew who
Speaker 3: I was from the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's important. Yeah, maybe that would be
Speaker 1: My first question is like, do you listen to Katie?
Speaker 1: Would be because if you do, I do not want
Speaker 1: to come to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think a lot of therapists listen to NPR.
Speaker 3: So okay, I know like one in town that someone
Speaker 3: went to and they're like, don't worry, I don't listen
Speaker 3: to anything besides NPR.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the next one. Anna's an
Speaker 1: email is accompanied by a photo of a giant pickup truck,
Speaker 1: so let's dive in. Yesterday, you guys talked about what
Speaker 1: kind of car you might like and how you didn't
Speaker 1: have a need for a big truck. Well, I drive
Speaker 1: a giant truck and I love it. It's my dream
Speaker 1: truck and f two fifty diesel crew cab, biggest back
Speaker 1: seat with a long box eight foot long. She's a beast.
Speaker 1: My girl is absolutely miserable to park anywhere because of
Speaker 1: her giant but dunka donk. But I wouldn't trade her
Speaker 1: for anything. Although I take up at least two parking
Speaker 1: spots wherever I go, sometimes we take up four so
Speaker 1: there's room to get kids in and out of their
Speaker 1: car seats without risking dinging the cars next to us.
Speaker 1: That being said, I do haul my horses weekly and
Speaker 1: I need every bit of power she's got available. You
Speaker 1: got a truck, you better be using it as a
Speaker 1: truck and not a toy. Okay, have a great day,
Speaker 1: and don't park right beside giant trucks if you can
Speaker 1: help it. Attached is a picture of me squeezing into
Speaker 1: a single spot with no more than six inches on
Speaker 1: either side before we cross the white line. That is
Speaker 1: a beautiful truck. I am not a car truck person,
Speaker 1: but that is a beautiful looking truck. And I'm glad
Speaker 1: Anna that you love your truck, and I'm glad that
Speaker 1: you use it for hauling shit, because I think if
Speaker 1: you're like a single person, you have like a big
Speaker 1: truck like that that gets about twelve miles of the gallon.
Speaker 1: It's just not a good idea, just bad for the environment. Okay.
Speaker 1: Next one from chap Oh Chow writes once in a
Speaker 1: while says, hey, gang, you ever had a job you
Speaker 1: didn't care for and just there to make money so
Speaker 1: you go through doing the bare minimum. It's not that
Speaker 1: I don't want to give my all. It's just that
Speaker 1: the company ways and culture doesn't fit with me. Micromanaging
Speaker 1: and don't give your employees. And he's saying, what their goat,
Speaker 1: what's going on, et cetera. I've never had a job
Speaker 1: where I did just the bare minimum. I just don't.
Speaker 1: I think that I've been fortunate enough to like pretty
Speaker 1: much every job that I've ever had, even when I
Speaker 1: worked at Sambo's. Ooh. I was at Sambo's, which is
Speaker 1: like at Denny's, and I was a dishwasher and it
Speaker 1: was work. I mean when you were watching dishes, there
Speaker 1: were toilets to clean, there were grease traps to dump,
Speaker 1: there was everything to do. And I never slacked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: always did my best, because that's kind of how I
Speaker 1: was raised. Yeah, and then every radio job I've loved,
Speaker 1: so I always did way more than the minimum.
Speaker 4: I can only imagine, not like necessarily doing the minimum.
Speaker 4: But when I was in college, I was an RA
Speaker 4: for a few years, and then I was security my
Speaker 4: senior year, where you work like the six am to
Speaker 4: or twelve am to six am shift, and you have
Speaker 4: to do like rounds of the building. And there were
Speaker 4: some night security people that were kind of just like
Speaker 4: on a weird power trip and they would catch like
Speaker 4: everyone possible, and they would write people up left and right,
Speaker 4: and they'd be like.
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't believe you were drinking in your room.
Speaker 4: And I would be the night security person that would
Speaker 4: walk by, hear a bottle clink, stand outside for thirty
Speaker 4: more seconds, and if I didn't hear a bottle clink again,
Speaker 4: I would say, well, what if I had walked by
Speaker 4: thirty seconds later? And I would just keep going because
Speaker 4: if they're being quiet in their room, and then.
Speaker 2: Just occasionally you'd hear like ding ding hahha.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fine, as long as you're in your room. If
Speaker 4: you spill out into the hallway, okay, now I have
Speaker 4: to write you up.
Speaker 2: But I'm not the guy who's like, hey, this is
Speaker 2: night security. I hear bottles everyone give me.
Speaker 1: I like that attitude. Yeah, because yeah, that's I think
Speaker 1: kind of how it is in college. You kind of
Speaker 1: have to look the other way at some underage drinking, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's it's.
Speaker 2: Gonna part of a in college.
Speaker 4: So that's the only job I kind of was like
Speaker 4: not slacking. I just don't go above and beyond.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think I ever have slacked at jobs.
Speaker 3: The only thing I would say is I probably have
Speaker 3: days where I was a little lazier, because from probably
Speaker 3: like twenty to twenty nine thirty, I had two to
Speaker 3: three jobs and then also was going to school or
Speaker 3: doing whatever else, had internships and stuff. So I think
Speaker 3: there was probably days where I was very burnt out
Speaker 3: from working so many different jobs that maybe one of
Speaker 3: them didn't get my all that day. But No, I
Speaker 3: definitely have never slacked.
Speaker 1: Jenny and I could think of at least one person
Speaker 1: that kind of slacked at their job and kind of
Speaker 1: did a half assed kind of a job, but we're
Speaker 1: not going to say anything about who they were. Fallon
Speaker 1: sallin slacker, No, Falon's very ambitious next one. Sharon writes
Speaker 1: in Hello first time Minnesota, goodbye writer here. I once
Speaker 1: wrote an email the day back when there was this
Speaker 1: psychic I believe her name was Aleen Cunningham, often featured
Speaker 1: on the show. So I'm a proud p one longtime listener.
Speaker 1: Yes you are, because Allen Cunningham has not been on
Speaker 1: our show in it least twenty five, probably closer to
Speaker 1: thirty years.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: And Aleen was a great psychic and she was wonderful.
Speaker 1: She had kind of a Southern charm, and she's this
Speaker 1: old lady, and then she started to kind of lose
Speaker 1: her fast pitch fastball, and so we just kind of
Speaker 1: we found Gary Spivey. And then Gary Spivey was our
Speaker 1: psychic for many years, and I guess you could say
Speaker 1: he still kind of is. So she goes on to
Speaker 1: say I thought about writing many times. But here's my
Speaker 1: funny haha that happened on Sunday. I was listening to
Speaker 1: the Best Clips podcast where you talked about men in
Speaker 1: their bulging packages. I'm multitasking and sending a text to
Speaker 1: a friend when I typed, please check your package instead
Speaker 1: of please check your calendar. Had a good chuckle, decided
Speaker 1: this would be a good topic for my first email.
Speaker 1: I love that. I would love a staff writer sticker.
Speaker 1: Thank you for all you do. Dart, Dart, dart and
Speaker 1: no lickety Lickerson Sharon in Shoreview. I will send you
Speaker 1: a sticker. Actually, shout out to Secretary Brie, who is
Speaker 1: gonna she takes her all the stickers and Breeze coming
Speaker 1: in tomorrow. Hi, oh yay, Yeah, so that'll be kind
Speaker 1: of cool. And then we had Joe from Turlock, California
Speaker 1: come in last week. This was just such a flattering,
Speaker 1: cool thing that he found our show on iHeartRadio listened
Speaker 1: so much that he wanted to come to Minnesota to
Speaker 1: visit and see all the things that we talk about.
Speaker 1: So he went to Mall of America, He went to
Speaker 1: the five eight Club, he went to Matt's Bar, and
Speaker 1: I think he went to the Arboretum.
Speaker 4: He went to he definitely went to the Cherry and
Speaker 4: the Spoon. I recommended Brian Lake bull and to go
Speaker 4: see improvity. Did both of those things really? Yeah?
Speaker 2: That which is exciting. Did he look like he did fall? Yes,
Speaker 2: he did that too, I think so. Yeah, he did
Speaker 2: like all of the things that's so neat.
Speaker 1: Hey, by any chance you listen in your outside of
Speaker 1: the state, send me an email and let us know
Speaker 1: where you live and how you still listen to the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Goodbye. Maybe you used to live here and now
Speaker 1: you live in Knoxville and you still listen to the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Goodbye. Let me know. Send an email. Ryan Show
Speaker 1: at kadiwb dot com. Thank you, Sharon for the entertaining email.
Speaker 1: Next one to my favorite morning show crew. But mostly Dave,
Speaker 1: I'm happy you found your Bernie. Is his kennel in
Speaker 1: one of your two bedrooms. Now here's the problem with Bernie.
Speaker 1: We love him, Susan adores him. She went out and
Speaker 1: bought a car bed seat for the back seat so
Speaker 1: he doesn't just stand in the back seat. He gets
Speaker 1: delayed down in a bed that's strapped in or something.
Speaker 2: On the Bernie Tails Instagram.
Speaker 1: You can follow him on the Bernie Tails t A
Speaker 1: I L s and anyway. He barks at night. And
Speaker 1: last night I got home from Colorado, hadn't seen him
Speaker 1: in about five days, and he went crazy when he
Speaker 1: saw me. He was so happy he couldn't control himself.
Speaker 1: His whole body wagged. You know when their whole body
Speaker 1: and he's spinning around, and I just gave him so
Speaker 1: much scratches and love, and then I put him to
Speaker 1: bed and his kennel and he barked kind of like
Speaker 1: not just a group like he used to, but more
Speaker 1: like for about an hour. And I put in the
Speaker 1: ear plugs, and so we're confused and be fuddled on
Speaker 1: what to do. And we tried giving him like a
Speaker 1: besedation kind of a treat to calm him down, a
Speaker 1: calming treat. We put Susan's shirt in there, and so
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure it out. And I said, maybe
Speaker 1: he just needs to sleep with me, and Susan's like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want him upstairs. I don't want to give
Speaker 1: him free rein of the house at night. And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: well I think it's going to come to that anyway.
Speaker 1: This person says, is your kennel in one of your
Speaker 1: two bedrooms, because although he would still probably bark a
Speaker 1: couple of nights, it does make a big difference. They
Speaker 1: can hear you breathing and feel more comfortable. His barking
Speaker 1: should cease after a few nights of not giving in
Speaker 1: and letting him out in the morning. I've heard it
Speaker 1: said with the crate in your bedroom, they have the
Speaker 1: feeling of being safe during sleeping time, which helps them relax.
Speaker 1: Another trick is to cover his kennel with a blanket,
Speaker 1: maybe a sheet in this heat. Oh that's a good point.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's also okay to move his create to another part
Speaker 1: of the house, like the living room or daytime for
Speaker 1: daytime if you like. I don't know if you use
Speaker 1: it when you're both gone. In that case, you probably
Speaker 1: want to move it. If you have or have two
Speaker 1: kennel's best wishes for peaceful night sleeping, I would love
Speaker 1: a sticker for my laptop. All right, friends forever Christy,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to take a picture of your email
Speaker 1: address right now, Jenny. Any thoughts on the advice with
Speaker 1: the dog.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know, I really can't give advice on that
Speaker 3: because I do watch dogs a lot, but.
Speaker 2: I don't train them.
Speaker 3: They're all mostly trained when I watch them, and when
Speaker 3: we used to have Mickey, she was trained already too,
Speaker 3: So I'm sorry I got no.
Speaker 2: Help for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see this. One says I'll be visiting Minnesota.
Speaker 1: I haven't been there in a long time in thirteen years,
Speaker 1: but I used to be there. I'm visiting with my
Speaker 1: eight and thirteen year olds this summer, hitting up mall
Speaker 1: of America. But what other suggestions do you have for
Speaker 1: fun family activities? Also, who has the best season sour cream? Okay,
Speaker 1: anybody know season sour cream? I would say Maynards, Maynards.
Speaker 1: Maybe I've lived in Virginia, Alabama, now Florida, and season
Speaker 1: sour cream is not a thing down south. I missed
Speaker 1: that in so many other things about Minnesota. Thanks for reading. Cheers,
Speaker 1: licks and darts from Sunny Navarre, Florida. Rachel I would say, yeah,
Speaker 1: Maynards and Excelsior. Take the kids. Well, I don't know
Speaker 1: if the kids are gonna love Maynards, but it's kind
Speaker 1: of cool. If you go to Maynards, you can walk
Speaker 1: around downtown Excelsior and there's a toy store. Excelsior is
Speaker 1: really cool. There's a toy store at the end of
Speaker 1: the block. There's a candy store, there's an ice cream store,
Speaker 1: there's a bookstore.
Speaker 3: In terms of things to do with the kids, you
Speaker 3: should go to the Minnesota's largest candy store in Georgia.
Speaker 1: That is Jenny perfect. I can't think of a better answer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you've not been to the Minnesota's largest candy store,
Speaker 1: it's so cool, it is.
Speaker 4: It is, And well, I mean, just gosh, are we
Speaker 4: just thinking like anything kids would like to do?
Speaker 2: Did she say how old her kids were?
Speaker 1: Eight and thirteen?
Speaker 4: Eight and thirteen? I mean Nickelodeon Universe is always fine.
Speaker 4: They're America, probably do that, but like all America, yes, fun,
Speaker 4: but Nickelodeon Universe.
Speaker 2: Specifically, like just go in, ride a couple of rides?
Speaker 2: Why not?
Speaker 1: What else is there for kids? I don't have kids
Speaker 1: that you know. The zoo, the Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Zoo, yeah, the Como Zoo as well.
Speaker 3: The lakes in Minneapolis they offer like paddle boards, kayaking
Speaker 3: or like the little pedal paddle boat thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, paddle boats. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think Lake Nicomas might have swans, I forget or.
Speaker 4: Lake Carrie, one of those two definitely has paddle boats
Speaker 4: and they might be swans.
Speaker 3: You could look up either wheel Fun Rentals wheel as
Speaker 3: in w H E E. L Fun Rentals and see
Speaker 3: what locations they all have. But I feel like that's
Speaker 3: a very Minnesotan activity to do if you're looking for
Speaker 3: a true kind of like Twin Cities experience. Yeah, get
Speaker 3: out on one of the little lakes and do something
Speaker 3: like kayak or whatever with the kids.
Speaker 4: Do the little paddle boating and then sit on the
Speaker 4: beach and then just like run around on the water.
Speaker 4: Kids love water, regardless of age eight thirteen.
Speaker 2: They love water.
Speaker 1: Kids love water.
Speaker 2: They love water.
Speaker 1: Is there any what good water parks that are outdoor
Speaker 1: water parks around here? Bunker Beach Is that in Burnsville. No,
Speaker 1: that's in Coon Rapids area. It's outdoors.
Speaker 4: It is outdoors, and it's huge, and they have like
Speaker 4: a wave pool, They've got like slides everything. My ex
Speaker 4: boyfriend used to work there and all of his friends
Speaker 4: were lifeguards. So I know a lot about Bunker Beach.
Speaker 2: It's dope. I had never even heard of that. Oh
Speaker 2: I haven't, either of you know.
Speaker 1: What they need to do, Seriously, they need to advertise
Speaker 1: on the radio, because how are you going to get
Speaker 1: the word out? How can I live here in Minnesota
Speaker 1: and never heard of Bunker Beach.
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know. I mean it is northern suburbs.
Speaker 1: But still, I mean, come on, Bunker Beach. Bunker Valley
Speaker 1: Fair advertises on KTWGB, and everybody knows what Valley Fair is,
Speaker 1: so Bunker Beach unless you've already reached capacity and you
Speaker 1: don't want to make any more money, Uncle Beach needs
Speaker 1: to advertise on KTWB because if you got something, It's
Speaker 1: kind of like people always say you never mentioned the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Aurora women's soccer team or whatever it is, and
Speaker 1: I say they don't get the word out well enough,
Speaker 1: like is it the Minnesota Frost women's hockey team something
Speaker 1: like yeah, I think they were in the playoffs and
Speaker 1: somebody said they want then they Okay, they need to
Speaker 1: do a better job of getting the word out. And
Speaker 1: because we never hear anything, I don't see them on
Speaker 1: social media and maybe it's me and I'm not following
Speaker 1: the right algorithm or whatever. But whenever somebody says you
Speaker 1: didn't talk about how it's National Appreciate a Nurse Day,
Speaker 1: I'll be like, they're not doing a good enough job
Speaker 1: a getting the word out. Is it on me or
Speaker 1: is it on them? Because I don't and nurse is
Speaker 1: a bad example because they do a great job that
Speaker 1: one out. But let's say it's it's the National Tattoo
Speaker 1: Artists Day and They're like, you guys mentioned the cops
Speaker 1: and the nurses and the teachers. It's National Tattoo Artists
Speaker 1: Day and you didn't even mention it. It's like, bitch,
Speaker 1: you guys got to do a better job a getting
Speaker 1: the word out. Oh we're taking a break. Okay, well
Speaker 1: we're done. Actually I'm done.
Speaker 4: Are you done?
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm done. Love to get you on Bunker Beach.
Speaker 1: Send me an email. We'll get you on KWB so
Speaker 1: we can get the word out. And send your email
