Today's one of those days where I'm really just kind of like, I get a lot of stuff that I got to do. I mean everything. Well, we got to record War of the Roses, which sometimes can take fifteen minutes, sometimes can take an hour and a half. It depends on how we do. And and then I got to get a haircut because I got to make a video later today. And then I want to go for a run. I was telling Falon how it was if you're watching your weight, and I am, It's funny because I used to be so skinny. I
could eat anything that I wanted to. I'd go to McDonald's, good a, twenty peaks, snuggets, big mac, filet of fish, large fries. That's insane. And I weighed one thirty five. Yeah, now that was when I was twenty years old. And now if I look at the cliche, if I look at French fries, I put on five pounds. And the other day I got on the scale. It was very happy with my weight. I'm like, oh, I'm really happy with my weight. I've been working out a lot and I've been trying to like watch what I
eat. I was very happy with my weight. Got on the scale, this morning. Three pounds for no reason. Three pounds for no reason? What the actual hell is that of all about? And you know Fallon's you know, very sympathetic. She said, well I can tell, and I said it's probably she said, look at that ass as is bigger than that I did. It's probably just like waterways, the same as when you go on a diet for your first week you could lose like five pounds, You're
like, oh, hell yeah, Unfortunately that's not you losing fat. Probably it's you losing water weight in the beginning, and then it becomes harder and it's like half a pound or one to two pounds a week. Max said, you get a little down on yourself, but you're like, it's because now it's like you're actually losing that weight. Yeah, I wouldn't freak out over a weird three pound game. You'll probably a back that normal the other
one, like in a day or two. Um, it's funny because I'm not you know, I make fun of like Susan saying she sabotages my diet because she doesn't want young beautiful women to be attracted to me. Yes, but I don't think that she is a big supporter of me staying healthy as I wish she was. And I get it. It is my responsibility to eat or to cook. And if I don't like what she cooks, then I am a big boy. I can go make my own food. But we share back and forth. Like the girls are coming over on Thursday,
I'm making spaghetti and meatballs. Yeah, not the best choice if you're losing weight. But I'm not gonna make everybody else have like a you know, a chickpee pasta salad, you know, gross. But last night she puts all she does like a cookout in the kitchen. So it's hamburgers, yeah, with all the toppings, chips, potato salad, and there's pasta salad too, and then she threw some asparagus in there. But it's like,
this is not a dinner that's healthy for somebody. But you know, I can't blame her for it, because if I don't like it, cook it myself. Yeah, and I am not forced to eat it. But she's not always the biggest supporter. I get that, and it is hard. I know a lit ful of like if they're like trying to do well in their person brings home fast food or something that's like it. It hurts for sure, So I get it. Jake is a is very supportive when I'm
like, oh, I want to like eat healthier or whatever. He's really good at that. But yeah, it's difficult when you don't have someone that's like if someone's filling the cupboards with like oreos and stuff, just like temptations all over, that's hard. Well, Susan will come out the other day, We're sitting in the back patio and she's like, oh, do you
have a little snack, And I'm like, yeah, sure. She brings out a bowl of cubed cheese of his, like hot buffalo flavored cheese cubes, and they were delicious, but they're a terrible snack because it's cheese cubes. It's like we got we got cellery sticks, we got carrots in there.
But again, I'm not blaming her, it's my responsibility. Speaking of War of the Rose is, this person writes in and says, I've listened to War of the Roses for years, heard you talking about the failure rate of actually getting people on the phone, them not knowing it's a tree, etc. I'm wondering what the actual success rate is of the number that apply versus how many end up getting aired. I'm still amazor able to do it week after week after all these years. Any info you can share on the
other process works is interesting to know. Basically, it is harder and harder. It is kind of like, I'll compare it to Impractical Jokers. When Impractical Jokers first started, nobody knew what these guys looked like, so they could get away with it and nobody knew. But as the show got bigger, he started to be like, it's not as good because everybody knows who they are now, yeah, and I don't. I don't even know if
Impractical Jokers is on anymore. But when it was new, they got away with it because nobody knew what you know, all these guys look fun. Look they still do, like at least live shows. Because I saw a friend of mine post that they went to see them. I saw them with Carson. Carson loved Impractical Jokers growing up. When he was thirteen or so, we took him to the State Theater to see them live. They were the filthiest, filthiest, I mean everything from you think we get dirty talking
about eating ass on the Minnesota Goodbye. They were disgusting and it was so awkward, and Carsta just sat there like, oh, it's horrible. I mean they were funny, but not for thirteen year olds. Also just started listening to Minnesota Goodbye podcast a few weeks ago, and I loved them. I can't believe I never listened until now. And I'm hoping this email gets answered on there and it did. And thank you, Paul, he says, thank you for being my morning companions. Thank you, thank you for
listening. I appreciate that. Okay, deleting that one. Next one weird one, but I'll read it anyway. I had a dream that Drake ordered Uber Eats. Before the driver arrived, he locked himself in the trunk of his car. The Uber Eats driver had to call a different Uber driver to get him out. I don't know how another Uber driver would help, but dreams are strange. That is from Kirsten, and I appreciate it. Kirsten. You know, I'm glad that you dreamt about Drake. I think that
food before you sleep. Maybe well, I think that's what they say. I had a dream the other night about I don't remember, but it was involved was a guy that I went to junior high with Scott Lucia, who I haven't thought about in years, but he was in my dream. Why I dreamt about Scott Lucia? I have no idea, no idea, And like I think, sometimes you go back and you dream about like something, you go, what the hell did I dream about them? For? Yeah?
For sure you know why you dreamed about Drake in the car. I have no idea. We're a little bit short on emails today. Let me scroll down and see if I can find another one, because if not, we might have to go off the board and talk about some other things. Here. Okay, I'm not really seeing it, so I'll tell you that I was gonna say, have you even found one? I am eating the grossest, weirdest combination today. I thought I would try it. No one
asked, but cottage cheese is having a moment. If you did not know this, I growing up my mom, cottage cheese was such a popular food item for like my mom and grandma and stuff, and I used to think it was so gross they'd put like tomatoes or cantelope or whatever in it. As an adult, I've grown to love and appreciate cottage cheese, So I eat it as like a snack, but I do it as a savory version. I put cucumbers, tomatoes, little pumpkin, salted seeds on it,
salt and pepper, and that's my favorite snack. And I've had like thirty different people say man, cottage cheese is having a moment lately because people are using it and everything because you can blend it in smoothies and make it doesn't taste like cottage cheese and makes some creamier. Jake puts them in pancakes for olive, so she gets protein. You can like blend them with like tomatoes and make a creamy pasta sauce, so it's a high protein pasta sauce.
Lots of good ideas. So I saw on TikTok this person do a sweet version where they put blueberries and like a tablespoon of peanut butter on it. That's what I'm having right now for breakfast. And I tell you, I thought those were beans. I look over there. I really thought those were being blueberries, and I gotta tell you it is. So it's about one
of those. It's the brand is called Good Culture. It's like a single serving cup of cottage cheese blueberries, I like wild blueberries better because they're smaller and one tablespoon of peanut butter. It's great protein, but it is not the taste I just I am. I've decided I am a savory cottage cheese person, and I thought I would let the world know. But if you're looking for a high protein breakfast or snack, I would recommend this. I
think you could get through it. It would fill you. Yeah, cottage cheese is really good. I could eat cottage cheese all day. Yeah, but I mean it's supposedly healthy, but I think that it's cheese after all. So I've never really understood why cottage cheese can be healthy. Well, it's the same as like milk you get like because it's not that it's like you Basically if you get skim you don't have a ton of calories, but you can have protein in it, like if you do like a fair alife
milk. However, with cottage cheese, it's like it's just like a yogurt. It's low fat or calories for high protein and proteins would make you feel fuller, Whereas if you're just eating cheese cubes like you said, yeah, calories, fat, protein, like you still could eat like regular cheese and small moderations, I'm sure and be fine. I think the problem with me has always been volume, yeah, because and quantity because I'm better than I was. But when I was not at the weight that I'm gonna wait that
I pretty much want to be, I'm still a little bit off. But there was many times in my life where I would it was as many tacos as I could shove in before I got so full, or as many burgers like we had burgers last night. As I mentioned, there would have been a time I would have had two and a half maybe three burgers, along with fries and along with you know, like potato salad or whatever. And it is now about volume. And I've heard don't eat until you're full,
never eat until you're stuffed. And we've all eaten until we've stuffed. We stuffed. Susan and I went to a bar it was called the Red Vest Bar in Rockford the other day road they're randomly on the motorcycle and they had Haggy's Pizza. Are you familiar with Heggy's Pizza? Absolutely delightful for frozen bar pizza. It's really good pizza. Shout out Heggi's and I ate until I was stuffed. I ate until I really literally couldn't put the last piece in
my mouth. Yeah, that's been my problem. But they say eat until you're about fifty percent full and give it a few minutes because then you'll be full because your brain takes a while for a register. So all these tricks, they're just tough, you know what I mean. It's still it's don't don't you wish? It's like, why does eating until we're satisfied result in us being heavier than we want to be? Now? God? Damn it? All right, at least if I can find one more. This is
recommendations for streaming and it's always interesting, So thank you, Rachel. My number one recommistion recommendation Severance on Apple TV. I found this show about a month ago. I've already rewatched it. I've gone down the rabbit hole on Reddit reading other people's theories on what's happened to the show. It's a science
fiction psychological thriller. The show follow us Mark, an employee of lumin Industries who agrees to a severance program in which his non work memories are separated from his work memories. We started to watch the first four or five episodes and it was very bizarre, and we didn't dislike it. We just didn't continue it. That's how I am. I watched. Everyone says it's so good and so smart, and I only watched one or two episodes and it wasn't
like such a hook that I kept. But I keep wanting to go back and watch it because so many people say it's so good. Next one, The Righteous Gemstones on Max Dark Comedy Crime. Rachel says, it's about a world famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed and charitable work. That's the show Jenny and I talk about a lot. Okay, I've
heard you say that. Yeah, very good and funny and horrible. The next one you probably talked about, Girls five Eva, a musical comedy about a late nineties early two thousands girl group that gets back together with Sarah Burrella's Busy Phillips and Renee Elise Gold's Oh the continues on the next line, Very
funny, similar to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The third season is supposed to be coming out on Netflix and Hacks on Max Comedy Trauma Dark mentorship forms between Debora Avance, a legendary Las Vegas comic, and an entitled outcast twenty five year old comedy writer. That sounds really good too. That's the why I that
was the one I told you about last year, I think. But I will say this to Hooever wrote that in other than Severance, you and I sound like we have the exact same taste in TV, because yeah, yeah, I don't know, I really I liked Severance, but it was it was kind of like with Better Call Saul. I washed about three seasons and then I I forgot what was going on and I went back and I didn't remember who this was or that was, and I said, am done.
And then Carson said, you gave up on Better Call Saul, go back and washed it. So we did, and we really liked it. But we're at that point right now where it's like we need to find our next thing. Yeah, and that is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. Thanks for the emails. Send more please to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com
