Do you ever get emails that say, hey, we saw your profile and we want to collaborate with you and we want to send you a free watch or some crap like that. Yeap, do you ever get those that? Yeah, they want they do because they want your influence to basically sell their product, and all they're giving in exchange is their crop product. Okay. The reason I bring it up is because we just got one. It says let men find it. It says Hello, my name is Audrey, influencer
marketing manager for Wish. We recently stumbled upon your profile, and let me tell you we are genuinely impressed by the community you built in the content you produce. I think you'd be a great fit for wishes creator program. Wish is an affordable shopping app that is anything but ordinary. And then they go on to talk about it and how we can earn money and whatever, and to me, it just looks like a mass spammy email. It is case right there, Like I looked at your profile and I thought, like,
tell me something about my profile. Then if you liked it so much, well, my profile is crap. I mean I don't do that. Well, I mean, well I did. I will say I made a funny post on Instagram last night where I scared Susan. If you haven't seen it yet, pause this podcast, go to my Instagram Dave Ryan katiewb look at my reel and I'm telling Susan there are stink bugs on the door, and she comes over to look, and then there's the funny part and the wish
ladies saw that. Yes apparently sent you that message if you if you now, if you're back, if you pause and come back, or maybe you never left. So basically I found something online, I think on Instagram where it is a face that looks like it's peeping into your window because it's got his hands up to his face, and I stuck it with a suction cup on the outside of the door, and then I called Susan over. She didn't really react the way that I wanted her to have, very low key
reaction. I feel like you needed to just set up a camera and get her genuine reaction without you setting it up, because she knows, she knows you too well. She knows you're trying to mess with her. So but you know, how long are you gonna have to wait for that genuine reaction to come in right, not worth the time. Well, here's what I have planned today. When she's doing something like, you know, on her computer, something facing the other way, I'm going to come up behind her.
I'm going to fire a shotgun. Yes, all right, here we go. Good morning to the best Twin Cities Morning Crew. Oh apparently we got somebody else's email. A couple of questions for Dave. Have you met radio personality Delilah? And curious if she's as charming in person as she seems on the radio. Delilah does like the Love Songs dedication. She's on all the light rock stations on too, Which is she was on when I was a kid? I think, yeah, she's been on forever you But yeah,
right, she's been on a very long time. She's very successful, syndicated all over the country. I've never met her. I'm sure she's wonderful. I think she has a bunch of kids, and I don't really know much about her. So hey, I had a picture of her in my brain, But I had a picture of you in my brain, and you don't look like Oh. I've never looked her up. Do you know what? I don't either. I have no idea. Do you know what she looks like. I think she's average looking, Okay, I mean she's older
now, she's probably fifty five to sixty years old. I think she's attractive, but not like you know, like Jenny attractive. You know, she's hot, but not Jenny hot. Well, I mean that's not now. I feel like she's hideous because that's not like a high standard. Also, your honest opinion on The Bob and Tom Morning Show. Have you met members of that show? They are again, very very successful. They're a show out of Indianapolis. I remember they've been on for many, many years.
They're very successful. I'm surprised they're still on. They're a syndicated rock station radio show. But they don't play any music. I remember I stole one of their parody songs when I was about twenty five years old, and I played it. I've read it it myself, and I played it in Columbus, Ohio. I don't really steal stuff, but I stole that and they found out about it, and they wrote me a letter and they said please
don't. And I'm totally respectful. I'm like, oh shit, they caught me, ye, so I did not With all your ears in radio was wondering how much crossover occurs. If you ever have any chances to meet others in your field across the country. It's like, you're best in radio, bestI in radio. Well, they're like there's several I mean I know almost everybody, but I don't know them personally, know of them. I mean everybody from Elvis Duran. If we were to see each other, we would
stop and talk and have coffee. Mojo is a buddy of mine, you know, Bobby Bones, Bobby Bones. Bobby Bones. Bobby Bones was a just a regular radio DJ when I started here. Then he did a morning show in Austin, and I remember his boss came to me and said, yeah, you know, they're kind of loose cannons, They're kind of all over the place. They're really really good. How do I get them to be more focused? And I don't remember what the answer was, but Bobby
bones Is once asked me how to make Bobby more focused? Interesting? But Bobby is a genius, genius marketer. He took just a regular radio show and turned it into an empire. Yeah so yeah, big enough to be on Dancing with the Stars next, What are you going on? I would not want to be on Dancing with the Stars, no interest. They won't ask me. It would be the person that's on because of his fame,
not because he has the necessary talent. They've always got someone who has a talent like a dance background, like an Olympic gymnastic person or something else who's going to for sure do well. And then they have like Jerry Springer and David the Jerry Springer of the show. Right, thank you so much for keeping us entertained, dart Lick, have a great day from b Thank you loved that email. We got some really good emails today. Let's go to this one, Dave Jenny Drake. I'm a big fan of the show,
love listening every day, says Savannah. I love that name. A longtime War of the Roses fan. To keep this short, where is Nick the Stoner now? Has anybody followed up with him? Thanks for all your doing and being my everyday entertainment. Nick the Stoner was recorded on War of the Roses close to fifteen years ago. Yeah before Fallon was here and she got here in twenty twelve. I don't know. I never heard from Nick the
Stoner. I never heard from his girlfriend Wet Wet. I have no idea what happened to Nick the Stoner, but people ask that once in a while, is he still out there? I don't. Probably likely he's still out there as a person. He probably thinks he's so famous too, the amount of times that we've played that Wore the Roses. It'd be funny if one day, so there's like kids who got famous on Vine, and then all of a sudden they start getting famous on TikTok and it's like, this is
how you know me from before? Why this is funny from Vine? And so we see miss Stoner like playing his eyes Wore the Roses on TikTok all of a sudden and he's just like, oh man, how did this? How did this start playing? Oops? Oh well, since it's playing, let me tell you more about it. If you have any idea where Nick the Stoner is, or who he is, or what he's doing now or his ex girlfriend wet wet, let us know. Maybe they're married and have
kids and maybe a little happily ever after. For that, Lynn writes in and says Dave Jenny Drake, first time contributor, Dave, you said you used to journal and thought your children might enjoy reading them someday. It made me want to share this with you. I grew up on the North Store of Minnesota, moved out of state to Colorado after college. My mom would write me several letters a week and continued to do so even when I eventually
moved back to Minnesota. She loved writing and was so funny and talented. I would often save a letter that made me laugh or happy cry. We were very close, and when she unexpectedly passed away a few years ago, I was devastated. I was thankful I saved some of her letters over the years to have his keepsakes. Several months after her passing, my brother gave me a box they found among her personal items. Oh boy, this is gonna get good. Inside every single letter, Birthday card, Mother's Day card,
and Chris miss card. Inside this box every one of those that I had ever sent to her she saved. She even saved letters I had written to her when I was a kid at summer camp and told her how much I missed my cat. Wow. Needless to say, I broke down crying, realizing, oh my gosh, I'm going to cry too, realizing how much my letters must have meant to her. I hope you save your journals for your kids, Dave, something so simple could mean the world to them
someday. PS. Hope this wasn't too long, Daddy Bear, dart Lick dart lick, and thanks for all you do. Lynn, a loyal listener all these years. Wow, I don't know. If you don't have kids, it's hard to explain. I'm gonna get choked up how much you love your kids and how much they mean to you. Neither of you two have kids. I encourage both to have kids because number one, it's good radio content. Sure yeah, I mean everything from the pregnancy to the you know
the listen. If I get pregnant, I am leaning into them. I'm gonna be like, guys, I am sick today. I'm going to be in the bathroom all morning. Really, I'm just scrolling on Instagram on the toilet like I'm gonna lean in and you're gonna be like, God, wonder is she gonna have this baby? No kidding anyway, No, it is. If you're a parent, you know exactly what I'm talking about. We
have things from Carson his artwork when he was a kid. We actually had to throw all of it away, but we went to one of those archiver's places or whatever where they take pictures and make a book. Yeah, but we kept some of it. But they're little letters and postcards and birthday cards.
They're so precious and like your regular family. My uncle died last December, and I still have like Christmas cards and birthday cards from him, and I'm so glad that I kept them, because I keep every card that anyone ever sends me. I do too. Yeah, well, for the most part, I have all my Morning Show birthday cards. I have all my
cards for my boyfriend, my mom. My mom sent me a congratulations when I got like my Gracie Award, and it was a very simple card, but I kept it because I thought it was very kind of her to do that. But yeah, I keep all that. Thah, you I got letters from I think my first boyfriend in like seventh grade would write me letters. And when we like broke up after like a month of not really dating, I was like, I'm gonna throw these letters out. My life is
over. And my mom was like, don't throw them out, You're gonna need Oh that is very sweet. Yeah. I got to read this email because it is somebody who said, let me find it really quick. Here, Sarah Becker says, I was listening to a podcast today. They said Dartmouth, as in the college Dartmouth. Yeah, all I heard was dart lick, and I thought of you, and I had to send a message. That is all thanks for always brightening my day, That is, Sarah.
You understand dart lick, don't you? Bailey? No, you keep saying it, and I think it must be a thing, And now I feel like a douche that I don't know it. No, you don't don't feel that way. Dave is filthy that and you shouldn't know what it means. I mean, I know what the daddy thing means, but I don't know what dart lick. You are so innocent? Is darkling? Is that like a like a thing? It's something we made up? You made it up. Then of course I'm not gonna know it. Yeah, well why
why would you? But you're a good sport to play along? And like chuckle when we say dart lit, do you want to let me ask you this one? It's filthy? Do you want to know what it is? Sure? If you don't want to know what it is? When they said Daddy, dart Lick, and dart Lick. So I assume Jenny and Drake are dart licks. No, no, no, no, it's worse than you think. Okay, okay, then you can tell me. I'm just not going to look at you when you tell me, I'm gonna hide.
Tell me you're okay. I don't want to call for HR. You are now an actual employee, so but still you're a human and I respect you and I care about you. Tell me what it is. I don't like you that much, but I care, you know, like they would care about anyway. So okay, here we go. You ready. Yes, it came up on the show three or four years ago eating ass, and Steve said, Steve looked at me and he goes, eating ass. How do you eat ass? Anyway? And I said, I don't know.
Dart lick, dart lick. Yeah. Yeah, And so that's how it started. And so people started laughing, and then they would sign their emails dart Lick, dart Lick. We even sold the shirt at the State Fair this year that said dart lick. It sold out. It didn't it sold out? Okay, I didn't see that at the fair, but that if it's sold out, I guess, yeah, So it is the ultimate inside joke. I guess so. Yeah. And also just to clarify, you said you talked about it on the show. This was on the Minnesota Box.
Yeah, it was very much a filthy NSFW podcast episode that just has carried on for probably what we were going on like four years since you brought Dart leg up, maybe five group of people. Yeah. But you know what's funny is that people have embraced it, because even like Lynn who wrote in a little while ago. I've met Lynn and she is a wonderful, not a nasty, vulgar person, but even she has embraced Sorry, well
now I've got it. Any time I sign an email, yeah, I can startlett all right, next one, he would go, oh, we asked about this yesterday and hypnotism and that type of thing. Heard you talking about hypnotists on the Minnesota Goodbye. I thought I would share my experience, my only experience with one my freshman year in college. I typed out which college I went to. Then I deleted it because Davis taught me how to tell a good story well, in the effect that it doesn't matter where you
went to college, but you know, some details are fine. Yeah. Anyways, they had a welcome back weekend filled with activities a hypnotist included. They picked twelve students to be hypnotized. Part of the whole bit was that they were all horseback riders and they had to name a horse and ride him or her in the race. The second girl in line named her horse my face. I thought that this was odd, but okay, they bring all the horse back riders to the start line and they're off. It only made
it sent. It only made sense when this girl started yelling the top of her lungs, my face, my face, Come on, my face, come on, my face. Okay, bold move not this. Everyone had those hypnotists at their school, because I remember they had them at mine as well. And one guy, like a jock kind of dude. He ended up being hypnotized and saying the entire Miley Cyrus the climb, and he looked like a dude who wouldn't know the words, and he knew all the words.
He was rolling on the floor. Everyone was like laughing, and I think he could have pulled it off and faked it. I don't know, because I've never been hypnotized and that was the only time I've ever seen it, but like they always come to a college town. Yeah, so yeah, I've seen it at my high school too. We had one at ur like the senior night party, you know. Yeah, yeah, we had one. We've done a hypnotist many times and people like it. Have you
been hypnotized? No. I talked about it in the show yesterday. I said, I to hypnotism for my belly belly pain because I've tried everything for my belly pain, and yesterday it was really bothering me. Today it's a little bit better. Yeah, And I said I went to a hypnotist, and I said I basically faked it and pretended that I was hypnotized in her chair in her office. Yeah, And because I would have felt awkward to
not be hypnotized and say this isn't working. Yeah, I feel like i'd do the same Like when people believe it, Yeah, I'd be like, well, I'm not going to believe it, so it's not going to work for me because I'm not a believer, I guess. So Yeah, I feel like I would probably end up doing the same thing, just so why I wouldn't make her feel bad. Yeah, it didn't work all right. Last one for now.
