Diddling the Bean

Let's get started with a Minnesota goodbye. And this is an email that we've been sitting on for a couple of days, and we were going to read it on the show, but we decided let's do it here on the Minnesota goodbye because I think it fits well with the Minnesota goodbye. My son has started saying weird things like, you know, mom, we never really landed

on the moon, and nobody's in space. There's going to be his solar eclipse in April, and forty days after that, the world is going to end, etc. And I said, oh, great, don't tell me you believe the Earth is flat? And he said it is and I said, oh my gosh, what the fuck? So I just figured he was saying shit to just get to me. Yeah, and then he really started concerning me and I asked, said, where are you getting this information? And he said, TikTok. What I said, how do you know that

it's accurate? When you're getting her information out of TikTok? He feels their reputable sources And these are quotes directly out of the Bible. When we were discussing it, I kept bringing up TikTok. Comeback is these are Bible quotes quotes. That's yeah, weird in itself. Okay, Yeah, the way he's talking scares me to death. That sounds cultish, that he's really believing this stuff. I started crying, saying that he's being brainwashed and he's gonna

get sucked into a cult. I was and am very concerned. Am I overreacting? Is this a phase that kids go through? Or should I be concerned? And if I should be concerned, what I should do about it? Should I take TikTok off his phone? Well, there's an interesting question. I'm going to stop right there. You if you if he's over the age of fourteen or so, you probably can't take TikTok off his phone. If he's fourteen, I also wouldn't worry about him being involved in conspiracy theories

because kids do weird shit when they're fourteen or fifteen or sixteen. Yeah. So, but if he's twenty seven, he's too old for you to take TikTok off his phone. But then he's also in an age where he wants to believe these weird conspiracies theories. Yeah, I guess it does really depend on how old he is, because if he's still in school. Then I would just be like, Okay, he's just trying to like get a rise

out of you. Maybe yeah, But then just make sure that he is hanging out with the right kind of people, or that he's in an extracurricular activity so he can, you know, use his brain in a different way. But if he's just sitting at home in his room on TikTok forever and over and over, that's going to poison that brain. Yeah, and that is a hard one. You know, I lucked out. None of my kids were like loaners. The Carson has a million friends. Alison had fewer

friends, but all she had her great little circle of friends. Yeah, Chase had a million friends and he had his They called them the what do you call him? Not the tribe, not the squad, the crew, crew chasing the crew, and they are still the crew. That's cute. Even though Chase is almost thirty one years old and Beth has always been very friendly and has her friends too. So should I take him to a therapist?

I don't know what to do. The only thing I did tell him is I think it's great that you have faith, but you need to figure out your faith yourself. Read the Bible and interpret your thoughts on particular scriptures and don't go off on what somebody else tells you it should be. When I went into his room, he was actually reading the Bible. So I think it's a good start. But where do I go from there? I don't know. I don't have good advice for you on that one, but

I would say it's probably a phase that's going to pass. Carson was into a lot of metaphysical kind of stuff a couple of years ago. Interesting, and he read a lot of weird books and inspirational books from people who seem like Huckster's you know, like if some rap mogul wrote an inspirational book about religion and the afterlife and things like that. Carson was really kind of being swept up into that. He's like, Dad, really it's a really good

book, but he's lost interest. And he was twenty at the time. So it was a phase that passed. Yeah. Interesting, that's never happened to me. It's never happened anybody I know. I guess like if it was me and he's reading the Bible and you're trying to, you know, promote that, I still think though, if he's watching TikTok and then reading the Bible. Then whatever they say on TikTok, he's just going to coincide

that, like it's a study guide with the Bible. And so maybe send him to a church, That's what I was going to say, yeah, or send him different ones, send him to a good mainstream church. I would say, it's like, hey, you know what, you want to go to church? Why don't you go to Bible study? They have a men's Bible study or a youth group depending on how old he is, right and go to and you know what, that might be a good idea. I think that at that at certain ages and phases, and it could be

in any age in your life. You do look to something for meaning, whether it's the Bible or whether it is you know, I don't know, the role model or something. Yeah, and I think that, you know, I went to church every Sunday, youth group, Bible camp, all of that, vacation, Bible school. I have a feeling you did too. I did, yes, and I still believe some of it. But I'm not as devout as I was. I don't know. I just think there's I want to really get into religion anymore than I want to get into

politics. But I think that religion absolutely can serve a purpose in life. It really can. Like, my sister Vivian has not had the best life, but she has got the faith that you wouldn't believe. I mean, she has got the faith that you know, the prayer and the Bible verses and all of that, and it works for her and it comforts her. Her son is the one, my nephew who's in prison, and her husband

died not long ago. Her other husband left her a long time ago, and she's had kind of a rough life, but her faith sustains her. Yeah. So I am never going to be like, oh, you know, it's been proven that God heard her hear. I would never do that, No, because if it's your rock, it's your rock and let me live. Yeah. I like, I mean, I appreciate religion all the time because I think it is something that people can, you know, fall back on. I think people weaponize it, which isn't a great thing.

But that's what I don't want for your son is for him to kind of like fall into some weird conspiracy theory type religion. So I would if do a lot of research to find like a church that you know probably is an appropriate church that you know has a lot of narratives that they can cover, rather than just like a weird conspiracy theory church. I'm sure those exist. Well. The church that I go to is the church that I grew up at, was a very non denominational, mainstream church where it was there was

nothing weird about it at all. And the church that I go to now occasionally is God. I'm going to get it wrong, Westwood Brook. I thought you went to like some megachurch. It is a megachurch. I think it's called Westwood and I could just it's not that it's a small church. It's just that I always have trouble remembering the name. But I think it's Westwood. It is the church where Pastor Joel is the main minister and he was the one that married Kim Kardashian and the basketball player, Oh, Chris

Humphries. Chris Humphreys, and he's super cool. His sermons are more like a motivational speech with a little bit of Jesus, makes a little bit of Jesus, and we enjoy it, you know what I mean. And we're not super faithful. I think I probably told you that Susan never went to school, Bible school, Sunday school, anything. When she was a kid fifteen years ago. I was like, do you know what Easter means?

And she's like, is it about grass? And I said no, And I explained to her about the three days in the Tomb and blah blah blah and though, and we would do Susan's Bible quiz and it was kind of funny the answers that she would come up with, because one of the questions that we asked her was when Christ was crucified, Sure, the people who crucified him hung a sign above his head. What did the sign say,

Susan sincerely guessed, Happy Easter? Oh golly, it actually said King of the Jews, because as Jesus, I think, proclaimed himself king of the Jews and people were mad about it, and people were mad about it, and so they mockingly called him king of the Jews. You think about this was so puzzling to me, And maybe if you are a devout Christian, you can explain to me how the cross became the symbol of Christianity, because

to me, that's how they killed you. They would nail you to a cross to suffer and die, and it took days for it to happen. People forget that it's because he died for our sins. That's why, because it's like, you know, symbol, a symbol of someone who died for our sins, all of the love and the world. I could go on and on, but I think that's why that's the symbol. I prefer it when it doesn't have Jesus on it. Like if you go into a church and they have a cross and it has like dead Jesus on it, that's

terrifying, absolutely terrible. Oh respect it. But I also, yeah, I think the cross is the I think it's more of a Catholic thing, honestly, let me know, but my Catholic friends will I had a girlfriend who had a crucifix with Jesus hanging in her bedroom and but yeah, I don't know. I mean, you think about what a horrible way to go. I mean that was a common method because remember Jesus was crucified with common

criminals on both sides of him. Remember that and think about, like they nail you the cross, you're starving, you don't get any water, you're out in the sun, the elements and everybody's watching you, and it took you days to die, but it was a very effective way to get other people to go. I don't want to die that way, so I am not going to do what the other This has been David Bailey's religious talk. So you haven't got to church in a while. Bow your heads, Heavenly

Father, we pray for this so to stop. Sometime. We pray for pizza rolls that don't burn the roof of our mouth. We pray for pringles that are fresh so when you open the can they're not stalellah And oh oh, dear Lord. I pray that Dave gets better and look a miracle, you know what. And I'm not mocking religion at all. I don't. I don't do that. I don't mock religion. All right, let's do this one. But did you know that Jesus died when he slipped in the

tub. A lot of people don't realize that, David, that Jesus died. What that in the Bible? Or did you learn that on TikTok? They learned it on TikTok? All right, here we go, let's talk about We asked about how long the show should be because yesterday we said, you know, should the show be longer? What do you think? Here's Tammy Smith has said, definitely should be longer. Right, thank you, Tammy. This is Dan and Dan says he wants to ask out Bailey,

and he gives you his phone number. Bailey is not I'll be all honestly that Bailey's not available. It's very flattering. Bailey's not available you. Oh, okay, all right, oh all right, let me delete that one. Busy you know, I'm just I've got stuff, I've got things. Dan says, I also think the show and podcasts should be a minimum of

fifteen minutes, but longer if you have more emails to read. I think the thing is we want to make it longer if possible, but without patting it with a bunch of garbage, you know, like when you go to a movie like Oppenheimer could have been about an hour and fifteen minutes long, but they made it three hours long with a lot of padding and bullshit. No like interesting history pieces. No, I didn't think. So did you

see Oppenheimer? No, I didn't see. I don't need you. I was seeing Barbie in the other in the other screen, I saw both Okay, Hello Dave, Bailey and Vont from Valeria. I hope I said they're right, Valeria, Valeria. It's my first time writing in I have been listening to the Morning Show since I was a little girl. I absolutely love it. I was bum to see Fallon Go because I just love the banter between you two guys, and now more recently, I'm sad to see Drake

Goh since I related into a lot I'm twenty two. However, the Dave Ryan Show it is a well oiled machine that always keeps going and it is always good no matter who's on it. I've been enjoying getting to no Vont more on the Morning Show along with Bailey. I think they are both really funny and interesting. Wow. You asked about podcast length, and while this might be an unpopular opinion, I absolutely love long podcasts. The longer the

better. I get really excited when my favorite podcast post one or two hour plus episodes, especially when it pertains the true crime, paranormal or other similar subjects, because I feel like the hosts are doing well rounded research that's important. I would personally prefer a longer Minnesota Goodbye, not hours, but thirty minutes sounds perfect if content permits. And I would love a staff writer sticker. Love you guys from val and I'm gonna take a picture of your address

right now. I did send it out about fifteen staff writer stickers last night. Wow, and I am down to about ten, so I need to order more. I want one, but I don't want to email into the station. Well you know what, I could probably get you one, really, but I'm yeah, I'm down to the last couple, so okay, Well I'll be here tomorrow. All right, Hey y'all. Next one from Nick. He says, I want to say thank you. I think you

should make the podcast thirty minutes long. There's a podcast I've seen clips four that I love to listen to, but it is eight hours long twice a week. No, I have time for it. As a truck driver, I just don't have the attention span for that. Who does. As for sickness, because we're talking about how diseases are all over the place now daycare. My daughter works in a Petri Dish daycare and we constantly have some ick

going through the house. My friend's teen son this spring had a double ear infection that turned a strap that rolled into mono with blisters on his skin and in his mouth, all in the span of three weeks. Got he sounds like a little ill Victorian child needs to see the ocean? What you know? How in Victim, No, what are you talking about? What send you to the ocean to be better? In Little Women, Beth, No, Beth got sent to you know, the sea for her health. I

didn't read Little Women, I respect it. I tried to read Weathering Heights at one time, because I've heard Weathering Heights was really good, you know the story? Who were the There was sisters that wrote Weathering Heights. I think the Bronte sisters. What was interesting about that, here's a little worthless piece of knowledge that I have is their brother apparently wanted to be a famous author, and so they supported him and they contributed and sent him to writing

school and that type of thing. In the meantime, they sat over here and wrote Weathering Heights and some other books. Their brother's books turned out to be bomb yap. But the Bronte sisters wrote Weathering Heights while they were over here diddling the bean trying to figure out something to do? Is that an inappropriate phrase? Like you're not using it correctly. No, No, I don't think you think that means what you think it means. Diddling the bean?

Yeah, what do you think? I think that you did a thing with your thumbs that was not what I was imagining for diddling the bean. Well, maybe we should just leave it there and we should call this podcast diddling the bean, Riddling the bean? Or how about this one? Is it long Enough? Would be also a good title for the podcast, Is it long enough? Either? Diddling the Bean. Now people are gonna start signing off Diddling the Bean, Joyce Diddling the Bean, Roseanne dard lick in

the Bean. Okay, uh. They go on to finish. Nick says, I'm like Bailey, I've only ever had one birthday party as a kid. Well, that's it for now. You know what, We're going to talk about this on the show. I think tomorrow. I got it in my notes to talk about that on the show tomorrow. Okay that you've we talked about this yesterday, right, Yeah, we did. You never had

a birthday party. You have never ever had a birthday party. The one you had was a disaster when from thirty the one that I threw for myself, Yeah, was during the pandemic, and my whole plan was shot through because it was during the pandemic. And what I came up with as like a consolation party. No one really came. I had four people come. It was awful, and one was your sister's friend. Yes, one was during that whole party. Did you glue on his smiley face and pretend that

every everything was fine? Or did you kind of go where is everybody? I think a little bit of both, where I'd say where is everybody? With a smile? And I was just I was very intoxicated. I was my girloxicated, my girl good so because I was so sad. So now you like breweries and bru pubs and I love them, which doesn't You don't strike me as that kind of person. Oh really, No, I love a brewery. I could go to a brewery every day. I just I

love craft beer. Craft beer is delicious. You want to just do you strike me as the kind of person? No offense. It's like beer's gross, Like my wife Susan is like beer's gross. Oh I love beer. I don't really like the hoppy kinds of beer. I don't either know, slowly like trying to get more into those hazy ipa is delicious, but I prefer a hef of vison or it was more of a like a pale yeah,

goldish colored beer right now, it's goldish. It's like, I don't know, it's hard to explain, but it's kind of like a wheat sort of beer. But it's got notes of banana. It's absolutely delicious. I love a hef of ice in. I always find a beer wherever I go that I like, and it's always fun to try something. And if you don't like it, it's like, you know, there goes seven bucks, right, big deal. Yeah, beer's cheaper than everything else too, Right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna have the beer. I love it. I'm

gonna recommend at the oh god, Inky Brewing in Victoria. But Ben, have you been out there? I walked there once. From uptown, I walked to Anky Brewing. Go, oh you told me about this. It was last summer, sometime summers ago. Was my first I call it a mega walk, And my first mega walk I ever went on was twenty miles from uptown to Inky Brewing. Oh my gosh. It was great. I love walking up to because I always walked to brewery on my Mega walk and I just walk up to the bar and I say, I want to hear

something cool. I walked here and then they're like, okay, great. I'm like no, no, no, I walked here from Minneapolis. There's like what wow, I think celebrity. You are full of little just little tidbit so I mean kind of yeah. Victoria Gold is one that I would recommend if you go to Inky. And also they used to have one called Reunion red Ale, and I think it's sometimes there and sometimes not. Those

are my two favorites. I love that place. It's really good. But I would love to know Nick, why is it you only had one birthday party as a kid? Yeah, Alison had birthday parties. I could tell you. She went to everything from kid Zone to Chuck E Cheese Pizza. One of my favorite memories is Alison dressed in her little Jimbery outfit at Chuck E Cheese and he Dina in the cash machine that they turn on the fan and you have to grab her little surprise slips and she couldn't grab any and

it was so funny. And I get a picture of video of her giggling, giggling, giggling and I remember. Okay, I'm gonna tell you one quick story. Yes, she loved the rug Rats. I love the rug Rats, and it's sort of heartbreaking, but it turned out good. And I'm going to get emotional as I say this because it's such a sweet memory. Who is the obnoxious rug rat Melica? Angelica Pickles? So you know

you loved Angelica even though she was the obnoxious rug rat. So when she turned about nine or so, we hired Angelica Pickles to come to Alison's birthday party. And Alison was so excited all day. I mean, she's, oh my god, what times Angelica Pickles get here? And so the doorbell rings at the appointed time. She runs through the door. I'm with her. She opens the door and there is a twenty two year old woman with blonde pigtails, dressed like Angelica Pickles, but clearly not Angelica Pickles. And

Alison's face fell. Oh no. But then, because she was mature enough, she lifted it back up to be polite and smile the very forced smile because she expected Angelica Pickles to be there at the door. Four year old. Yeah, and it was a grown woman in pigtails dressed like Angelica Pickles, and I felt bad because Alison was clearly disappointed it wasn't really her. But then I also felt bad that Alison had to put on a smile so as to not be rude. Alison is not a little shit that would ever

go like, you're not Angelica Pickles. Yeah. The girl was so good with the kids, she was so charming. She did a great job, she painted their nails, she did a magic show, she did other stuff, and I remember she absolutely made up for the fact that she was not Angelica Pickles. Yeah, that she was twenty two and not a four year old child. Yeah. Yeah, so that's so cute. I used to

do that too. Speaking of fun facts about me, I used to do that kind of princess party s, like tell me more I've gone to parties as Bell and Cinderella and Elsa and have you released you dress up like a Disney princess. Yeah. I used to like work for a particular company that did it, and then after that I just had a lot of those dresses

in my closet still do Oh that's cute. And then my mom would just like book me through people that she knew, so I just show up to their house I read them a story, I sing songs, I take pictures, and I leave. Do kids, I mean, do they buy it if they're like a five year old kid, do they buy the you're a Disney princess? Or do they suspend disbelief? Some of them are a little ish, like you were talking about, like you're not Elsa. If you're

Elsa, where are your powers? But then you always have like the backup excuse that you have, like you know, on hold, waiting to give them so that they believe that you're there or that you're the actual princess. But I'd say most of them are like three, four, five years old, so they're still full of wonder and excitement. Ah, that's great. The best birthday party guest that we had was Alison Love Barney on her second birthday. A genuine, legit fake Barney came. Oh my god, and

he Allison was over the moon that Barney came. That sounds easier because you're just a mascot outfit. He's in a mascot outfit person's face when you're twenty two dressed up as angelic. Yeah, so there's a question for you, who came to your birthday party? I never had a guest at my birthday party, and that's okay. I mean, I had my friends at my birthday party. But did your mom and dad hire a clown or a pony or did you have we We hired a bounce house for Carson's eleventh birthday party

and that was really cool. Fancist birthday parties, I've ever heard of it? Right, Dailey never had a birthday party? About tomorrow. Sarah Wright, Sanho, Dave and crewe Day was asking on yesterday's podcast about the time length of the podcast. In my opinion, thirty minutes or an hour is my favorite. I know an hour would be crazy for you guys since you also have the regular show, but I'd love to be twenty five to thirty

minutes. Some times I find myself disappointed when the podcast is done already, when it's fifteen minutes. For so long, we always shoot for fifteen minutes, and one of the reasons is two reasons time, because we have other things we have to do. Even though doing the podcast is one of my favorite parts of the day, I always look forward to doing the Minnesota Goodbye because it's such a different thing and every second is different because you create the

content. Yeah, and I never know what you're going to come up with. That's why we call you a staff writer. But also if we don't have enough emails, which it's hard to stretch, and I don't want to pat it, I don't want to openheimer it. You don't want to Oppenheimer No, not really. Also, Dave, you didn't ask, so feel free to ignore me. I heard you talking about waiting for your son's baby to be born and heading out there to visit. In my experience, here

would be my advice of what to do. Don't stay at their house, stay at a hotel nearby. I also found the people I was close to who just did things, who who just did things the most helpful. By that, I mean the ones who didn't ask do you want me to wash the dishes? They just did it. If my parents saw we were low on groceries and they showed up with some, it was so helpful. Early on postpartum, sometimes I couldn't even process enough to answer when somebody would ask

me what I needed or wanted help with. Hope the visit goes well. Congratulations on the soon hopefully new edition to the Family. Do date was a week ago Wednesday, and they're gonna get induced tomorrow if nothing happens. As always want to fit in. Love the show and you all do a great job. From Sarah, Sarah, thanks for the kind words. You know what, I really really appreciate that. All right, next one, please don't say my name. Bailey said she had five people show up to her

thirtieth birthday despite being a theater person. As a theater person myself, I can just throw out there. While theater people are incredibly friendly, they are also the flakiest people I've ever met in my entire life. Confirmed. Yes, I love my friends. I love socializing with people and chatting with them, but I have thrown way too many parties in the past five is years where only a few people show up. The same thing happened to another friend

who spent time to mail out birthday invitations two months ahead of time. She gave everybody plenty of notice, made all these wonderful snacks, and I was the only one of her friends to show up. Everyone else decided to go last minute a housewarming party of another friend who posted about it two days before. Oh man, it is so heartbreaking because these people are genuinely kind or

at least I thought they were. But I've grown to feel so lonely in the past few years that I'm having to cope with it in a massive way I'm not prepared for. I don't understand the people that get thirty plus of their friends to show up and commit to a weekend at a cab at or barbecue in somebody's backyard. I'm very much the more the merrier type. I'm always the one who reaches out to people, tries to keep in touch. I've always been the one that had to plan to get togethers otherwise nothing would

ever happen. I started reconnecting with some people that still go out and party every once in a while. If I can't make it with them, I think I may just give up on the whole friend thing together. Personally, I can't take the heartbreak anymore. To anybody listening to this, now, stop being a fucking flake and just show up for your friends, no excuses.

There's enough bullshit to worry about as there is. Sorry, this is long and sad, but when I heard Bailey say that, I had to share that she so she knows it's not only her people suck, but you don't so just go with the flow, my friend. Any comments, Bailey, Yeah, I feel that. I think it is kind of like an epidemic that people don't follow through on their commitments anymore. And I definitely feel that with the whole like flakiness and not just theater people, but like I

don't know, everyone in their thirties twenties are just flaky in general. Even if they say that they'll come to something, they'll find an excuse not to come. Yeah, And they might tell you that excuse, and then you're expected as like a good person who vows use your friends. You'd be like, oh, yeah, that's okay, no big deal, no big deal, you take one for your mental health or no worries. You don't have to come out because you're still great even if you're pissed. Yeah. I

get so mad when people cancel on me last second. So I definitely feel this this emailer for sure, because I oftentimes, like I go see a ton of theater. I go to a lot of shows, and people are always like, oh, you should start inviting me, Like, invite me and I'll totally go with you. Why would I invite you if you're gonna probably say no or you're gonna not show up. I would just rather go

by myself and sit alone. I admire you for doing that. You are a good friend, and we get to know you more and more you find out about like you know these things about people, the good and the bad. And I've found out that you are a really good friend. And I get that from people from friends. I'm told that I'm loyal. So if I if somebody shows asks me to come to something, I will come to it unless I truly cannot, and then I will tell them why, and

I'll give them a huge explanation and apologize and all of that jazz. But I show up for sure, and more people should be like me. And you know what, but and you are that person, and I think for a lot of people who are more like me. You don't really always want to go right, and sometimes you you know, you go, hey, on September fifth, I'm doing stand up at the Comedy Cabin. Do you

want to watch my stand up? Oh? Yeah, September fifth. And then all of a sudden, it's like the morning of the fifth, and you're like, I don't want to fucking go see Cassandra do her shit stand up at the comedy cabin. So you call Cassandra or you don't call because then you have to have a conversation your text and you go, yeah, I'm really sorry I can't make it, but my dog has got you know, a tonail fungus or whatever. Yeah, and then Cassandra does exactly what

you said. That's okay, no big deal. I had a station party at my house fifteen is short or so years ago, and so many people canceled the day of. It's sood. The day of so frustrating. And I remember somebody wrote and they were a good hearted person, they just didn't want to go. They just decided I don't want to go. Yeah, and they said, hey, I'm sorry we're not coming. You know, that'll mean more of booze for you. And they tried to make it funny,

and I was like, fuck you. Yeah, you know, I really wish you would come, because I threw this not because I didn't want people to come, but because I was hoping we could all get together and have a nice time. Yeah. I don't think I don't want to come is a good enough excuse, to be perfectly honest. That might be mean spirited of me, but like finding out the day of that, You're just like, Oh, no one's coming to my party anymore. Great, awesome. It sucks. It really hurts my heart. I know. Okay,

are you okay? No, I'm gonna cry, all right, take it easy, okay. Next one Dave had mentioned in one of the last shows about a reddit page of people talking shit. I remembered a few months back I looked for a Dave Ryan subreddit and it didn't exist. Well after hearing about this post or subreddit, I went to look for it. I am so glad you aren't taking any of the posts to heart, because it's all the same person, just some bitter, mean ass person talking shit because their

life isn't as good as any of yours. They hate on Jenny for no good reasons, saying she isn't well traveled and it was done for her to start a travel blog. She's been to Tahiti and Thailand, so she is more traveled than most people. There are entire travel accounts out there that haven't traveled as much as her. The photos are hers, not Google images like

other travel websites and accounts. Just because she's done more travels in the States so far doesn't mean shit, she's traveled more than a lot of Americans. Did you know that less than fifty percent of Americans even have a passport? Less than fifty percent of Americans will ever set foot outside of the forty eight contiguous states. I bet this person posting hasn't even left their home state. It's more of a Jenny hate subreddit. We all know why people troll.

It's because they're jealous. I think there is something to that. I think that you don't make fun of somebody if you've got a lot. Sure, so, in other words, if you are wealthy, you don't make fun of poor people because it's it's I don't I don't know, but I think if if you have a life, let's put it that way, if you have a life, you don't find the time to sit on your couch making

fun of somebody who does have a life. Sure, But if you don't have a life and you live a bit of a sad life, I think they know they've proven that most trolls are kind of sad and depressed, and it gives them a little boost of whatever it is, melatonin, Let's say it gives you a boost of melotonin, serotonin, whatever, not melotonin that makes you fall asleep, Dave, that's what they do. Melotonin is the skin pig melanin. You're right, Ad, Jenny is so beautiful they stop

down stooped down to attacking her looks. This person's clearly jealous of Jenny and they have no other way to show it than to be mean online where they can hide behind a mask. This stuff just pisses me off, me too, all of you guys too. Hope Vont joins the morning show for good that is from CESNA, and we remember her name because I sent you a staff writer sticker yesterday. Here's one staff writer, Nicole says, Dave Bailey or Jenny. I only get to listen to the podcast during my routes I

drive throughout the day. I was disappointed today this was yesterday, Yeah, well late last night that this morning show in Minnesota Goodbye. We're not updated and posted. My question is who is responsible for editing and posting the podcast. I noticed as someone who is out of the podcast might not be current.

I've always wondered I think it was posted because what I've noticed is if the podcast doesn't get posted, I get a bunch of messages saying Hey, it's not posted, but when I get one, it usually means it was. And it's a problem with just delete and reload the app or close the app, and I had it online, so yeah, I just always shut it off and turn it back on again. Yeah yeah, uh, let's see I I is it in charge of uploading the podcast that would be vont

normally vont next time next. Since I didn't hear today's show, I'm dying to know. Is there any baby news? No baby news yet? I personally think you should wait a couple of weeks to visit. I've had two babies and I couldn't wait to be alone. Hormones are raging anyway. I can't wait to see what your next move is for making the show Drake great again since Drake is left. You're always so good at pulling things back together

while continuing to bring laughter. I really appreciate that. I've had a lot of experience with that, and I always know what to do. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer than I like, and but I always know what to do. Yeah, because you're a profession Well yeah, but I also have a deep desire to make the show as good as I possibly can, and when the show is not as good as it possibly can be, I'm going to keep working until it is, and the trolls will point it out

so you'll absolutely you shock. I love this one. I'm gonna end it with this Oneay Alison writes, David, I have a serious question for you. What do you do with the bits and chunks that come off your floss between each flossing. I'm dead ass serious because I always do it differently and not sure if there's a proper way. Ha. Sometimes I wipe it off with my finger and proceed, but that always grosses me out after the fact. Sometimes I wash the pick under the water between each plucking. So she's

got the little P shaped floss pick. Sure, that looks like a curvy like a shepherd's staff, but it's got a little thing in there. You know what I'm talking about. I don't have a water pick. No, it's not a water pick. It's a plastic device that shaped kind of like a question mark. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, like a like a yeah yeah yeah. I use those, Yeah, she says, I washed the pick underwater between each plucking, but the water doesn't always remove the plaque.

Other times I use a tissue to wipe off what's on the floss. It's not like I have a bib like at the dentist where they wipe it off from the pro influencer floss for himself. What's the correct way? Super random? Whatever? It's kind of whatever, its content right, got my stickers last week, thanks so much. Put them on my art cart at home. Love y'all. Darteth Liqueth Alison. I don't use the floss picks. I use floss. I use Doctor Tongues expanding floss t U n g

as Doctor tongues expanding flaws. Why does it expand because regular dental floss sucks ass? Oh, it's a strand of waxy, one dimensional flaws that when you stick it in your teeth, it doesn't have any girth to it to grab anything. Okay, So did I creep out with the word girth? I mean I just never thought of floss as something with a girth to it. Doctor Tongue's expanding floss has girth. I got to look it up. You get it on Amazon. You buy like a ten pack. I use

them picks, Yeah, you can use plaques. I have lost maybe once a month or something. Tell me more about that. Why do you go floss more often? Because I just don't. I don't know. I never I think, I never think about it unless I'm actually like actively looking at my floss. But my nighttime routine takes long enough that flossay. I'm just like, why bother? So I floss usually a month before my a dentist appointment every day for us, I'm a little speechless. I'm a little speechless.

It'd be perfect and everywhere, no way. And I love your your You're fucked up, Bailey, and I know I love that you're fucked up like the rest of us are a little bit you know, I got my things too. I talk to myself in the car all the time. I talk to myself in the shower, and I think Susan thinks I got somebody in the shower with me and I talked to my So I am also a

little bit fuck to roll over fucked up. But my flossing it started because when I would go to the dentist, they would say, you got a floss, and they would clean my teeth and they would bleed, yes, And I didn't want them to bleed anymore. So then I started flossing, and even after you brush, the stuff that comes out of there is like, Wow, I thought I got everything with a toothbrush. No, there's stuff that's coming out of there. And I want to keep my teeth longer.

And if you don't flush, your gums start to recede starting well, you mean you probably won't because you're fucked up? Right? Title this one, Bailey's fucking No. No, I already sent it to Vaunt. It's diddling the bean. Diddling the bean. Yes, that's what we were talking about earlier. Okay. I wonder how many people will look at the title diddling the bean and smile. It's better than Bailey's fed up teeth anyway,

right. Flossing? Yeah, so doctor Tongue's expanding floss. I it is the It is the generic analog analog dental flash that you wrap some around these fingers and you get it in there. And I do it every morning. If I have the ambition, I'll do it the night before so I don't have to do it in the morning. Wow. But I floss probably five days a week, not always Saturday and Sunday. What time do you wake

up in the morning? Four twenty four, oh, my god, you just do so much in the morning that I don't do, like floss and make yourself or get yourself a coffee. Well, I take a shower and yeah right, how do you have time? Well, I get up early enough. Gosh, that's so wild to me. I guess you don't have to put on like makeup. No, no, I don't. I put

on some moisturizer. But I get up. I push snooze one time, take a shower, brush the teeth, do the hair, listen to the news on the podcast, and then I go downstairs, play wordle connections and strands, and then post our teaser that goes on Instagram, Facebook and x so, and then I head out the door had about five twenty five, which leads me enough time to get to the Cariboo Cabin, which opens at five point thirty, and then I make it into work at about ten till

then I meet Bailey at the door, and then Bailey comes in and we catch each other up on our day. And that's what happens. That's what you missed on Glee, you guys. Ah, all right, that's it, okay, So comment on Diddling the Bean, comment on the length of the podcast, because today we wanted to give you a trial run. We went forty minutes, holy crap, forty minutes on the podcast. Let me know, was that too long? If it's too long, we'll cut it back. But I need to hear from you to let me know, because

I don't know that that's a good length. It seems long. It absolutely is our longest. That is a record setter. But if you enjoyed it, then we'll try to make them longer. But if not, then we'll You know what I think, But it depends on content. You want it longer, you gotta contribute. Thank you email. Send those emails to Ryan's show at katiewbt dot comm
