It's the Dave Ryan Shows Minnesota. Goodbye, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. I should look and see. We're getting close to our a thousandth the episode, and I'm feeling like, is it going to be next week or is it going to be when I'm on vacation. I need to look. I'll check in a second. I'm looking at my personal email because I got an email yesterday to that here go Hey, Fallon and Jenny. I thought this would be a perfect ask while Dave is gone, since it's about the upcoming
Taylor Swift concert and he's not as swift eye. To be fair, Jenny, it's not either, but fine. My friend spent ten hours online trying to get his tickets to her Minneapolis concert, and just when she had given up, the Q let her in to purchase tickets. So we have tickets for the Saturday night show. And I was super pumped at first. Now that is getting closer, I have some concerns and I'm wondering your thoughts. One, I saw Garth Brooks at US Bank Stadium a few years ago.
The acoustics were horrible and the words sounded all jumbled unless you already knew all the words. To the songs, which luckily I did. Do you think that problem will be fixed for the Tea Swift concert, Jenny? How did Luke Comb sound? Oh? I don't want to be the one to say this, but everyone knows they're bad. It's not good. But the thing
is is, I don't think it's necessarily the section. I think it's what part of the section you're in. So I was in the middle of the hundred section, So I was in row like twenty five in the hundred level, and it was not great. And Andrew and I were watching a video back the next day and it was like I could hear him clearer through that video because I think iPhone took out all of the side noise. But it's because I have so many people surrounding me singing, and that's noise that's taking
away from like actually hearing him. But then I was in the two hundred level in like the front row or one of the very first rows one time, and that was perfectly fine for me. Yeah, So I feel like it's a matter of like what you're surrounded by versus Because Jenny and I both saw Beyonce. We were next to each other and we were in a hundred level, and I think we were a little bit lower. We were that level like the spot where you're looking straight ahead at the stage. We were
not on the stage that we were really far away. Technically, I feel like it was pretty decent for that one. I don't think it was that bad. I didn't notice it being bad. No, So, but the Luke Holmes, I will be honest, it was hard to understand. Like what she said, it felt like the lyrics were kind of like jumbled, and you couldn't exactly unless you knew the song, then you knew exactly what he was saying. But there were a few songs that I didn't know that
I was like, I don't really know what he's saying right now. So but to answer your question, no, they're not going to fix that for Taylor Swift because it's not like it's clearly not a fixable thing. They would have to redesign. And I think it's also in all stadiums, because I was talking like huge stadiums, because I was talking to my mom and she had gone and seen Kenny Chesney at Miller Park. It's not called Miller Park anymore, but the stadium in Milwaukee and she said it was awful, and
she so she had asked me about Luke Holmes. I was like, yeah, it's kind of the same. So I just think, yea, Honestly, it's just a stadium. Way the way stadiums they're built, there's obviously gonna be tons of echoes in such a large venue. I thought You're gonna be fine, though, because the thing is you. It's it's like Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift is going to put on such a good show. Not a single person I literally haven't seen a single person after her show post a
video being like it wasn't worth it. Every single person's like that sucked to get these tickets and oh my god, they were so expensive. Absolutely worth it, every single person I've seen. I'm also on like a positive side of Taylor Swift. TikTok. So maybe that's why next portion of their email. I'm mostly a fan of Taylor's mainstream older songs, and I'm pretty sure
there are quite a few of her songs I've never even heard. Am I going to enjoy a three hour concert where I don't know half the songs? Well, I would say you spend a lot of money on the tickets. Her setlist is literally posted anywhere. If you go online and say Taylor swift eras setlist, pull it up, there's probably like playlist with every song on there and make sure you know them. Yeah. I'm not going to know every word to every song, and I am a huge Swifty, so I
think you'll be fine. She does like three or four songs from each era except for a couple she does more. I've been meaning to listen to more of her albums, haven't found the motivation. I also haven't been motivated to watch the live concert streams on TikTok. I feel like I'm half a Swifty at best. Lol. This is also the most I've ever spent on a
concert ticket, so I don't want to be disappointed afterwards. Please share your thoughts on the upcoming concert PS. I'm an avid concertgoer and the best venue I've ever experienced is the Red Rocks in Denver. It makes for a great week in. In case anyone jealous, I've always seen those and I get jealous seeing those, I look really cool. I really don't think you're going
to be disappointed. I do think you should definitely like listen to the music and get yourself ready for that, because you might start liking the songs more. If you're like, don't listen to the songs that you don't know, you might start liking them more. Hits the main single hits from previous albums, but not everything, so I would look that up. You don't have to watch the tiktoks to know it's going to be a good show. But it's concerts are subjective, so I can't say you it will be worth it,
you know what I mean. I think it will be, but I also don't know exactly how much you spent. I could just guess from my pro experience. All right, next email, I have a generational ghost story might be a little long. The house my mom grew up in a small town of three hundred along a train track that ended service in the late fifties. So the story goes that the people that built the house in the early
nineteen hundreds. They were a young couple. The husband died before they could have children, and the wife to survive, rented out the downstairs for room and board and lived upstairs until she died. She never had children. My mom and or two sisters shared a room in the upstairs and the old lady would show up and sit on the edge of the bed. Some nights they all saw her and the bed would dip where she sat. She was friendly and caring to the girls. My mom's two brothers would catch glimpses, never
had the interactions the girls did. This was in the late fifties and early sixties. Fast forward to the mid nineties and a local guy and his stanley moved into the house. One day, the guy came home to my mother, knowing she lived there. One day, the guy came to my mother there we go, knowing she lived there in one time, and asked if she ever saw anything growing up, but was kind of vague on the details.
She relayed her experiences and he never said much else. I went to school with the guy's daughter, and, knowing the story, asked if she ever saw the woman, and her face grew pale, and she said she'd seen her and she'd sit on the edge of the bed, but no one believed her. Just thought I'd share this since you rarely hear stories that go across multiple years and families think so much. Nick Ah, I gave me the chills, and you said that that girl's face went pale when you said
it to her. I am just man. I'm telling you. If I lived in anywhere where I saw some super normal is that what it's called supernatural things, I'd have to move. I would be scared all the time. It would Yeah, I mean, I get that you can feel good feelings, but I don't want to wake up and see someone sitting on the end
of my bed. There's been a time or two where I've woken up from just pure nightmares and I thought the chair that had all my clothes sitting on it in the corner of my room was a person or somebody trying to get me, and it's very much scared me. But then I realized it was the chair that has all my clothes sitting on it that I haven't put it away that you signed to put crap. I know that was when I was young and I wasn't as clean. Oh, and my claws still builds up
like once a month where I'm like, this is embarrassing. I'm too old for this to happen. Next email, this is so random, but I think it's so hilarious every time I think of it. I wanted to share, hoping to get some good stories out of you guys too. This is the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened in my life. Even ten years later, I still cringe thinking of it. I'd love to hear your most embarrassing
moments if you've ever had one. It was gym class freshman year. We were doing different workout stations and my friend and I were doing crunches on this huge foldable mat. It was the end of class and the teacher came over to my friend and, uh, sorry, my thing popped up or it does like right click, So we covered it. It was the end of class and the teacher came over to my friend and I to help us fold and put away the mat. My friend and I get up and write where
I was laying. My thong was laying in the middle of the mat. It must have gotten stuck inside my gym shorts during laundry at home and fell out mid crunches. Oh okay, I was like, wait, how did her thong come off? Yeah? So there, me, my friend, and the gym teacher are staring at this thong laying in the middle of the mat. No one says the thing and we just fold the mat With my
thoughts still inside it. We literally put the whole thing away in the closet thong and all, of course my friend knew it was mine because it wasn't hers. That poor teacher couldn't even look him in the eye after that. Lol, Thanks Natalie. I can't believe you, guys. I'm imagining you all just looking down. Wait, how I don't remember now. Okay, that's sorry, that's okay. Oh man, that's a good one. That's a good one. Um. I think there's probably like a couple of stories.
I mean, I am the Queen of turning red when I get embarrassed, and Davis the king of pointing out me turning right when I get embarrassed. So I can't hide it when I'm embarrassed. And I remember one time, I mean it wasn't even like I was trying to hide it, but
I was working out with some friends. It was freshman year of college, and we were at the ROC Center and we were doing like some app stuff and I sat up and farted like I was doing a crunch and I farted, and there were so many people around, and my girlfriends couldn't stop laughing very much, making it aware that I had fired it. And it was an accident and I turned bright red. That was one of them. Another
one was when I was in eighth grade. It was our traveling basketball team, and our coach was just a hardass and he was kind of scary and just he was a dad, but he was not a fatherly figure type of person, honestly. And I had bent down to grab the basketball to shoot a three three pointer. I had my shorts ripped on the butt cras and so then I had to walk with my face towards him and my back shuffling into the girl's locker room to put on my like old gym shorts that were
in there, And that was an embarrassing moment for me as well. Those are good ones, I don't. I mean, I have like the two in the class room one that everyone heard. That's why like my memorable one. You know, it's like traumatizing as a child. Next Ebell Falon, I finished the episode seventeen seven. I'm sorry. I finished episode seventeen seth as my podcast Right Person, Wrong Time, and you mentioned a podcast you
were in where you talked about your full story. I tried scrubbing through the podcast again to find the name, but couldn't find where you said it. Can you share the name of the podcast you were on? Again? Thank you, Taylor. Ps. I've really enjoyed Right Person, Wrong Time, PPS, Eugenie and Drinker, crushing It, holding Down the fort World, Daves Out, Thank you, thank you, thank you to all these. It was called so Fail, So Good. Okay, what's it about?
It doesn't exist anymore. It was it was I mean, I think you can find it like the old episodes, but there aren't new ones. It was local episodes with a girl I know named Laura. She was the host, and she interviewed people to like talk about failures. They had to show like you can have failures and then still like go on to be successful or whatever. But I said in my podcast, I felt like of all the podcasts I've been on where people have like interviewed me, that one I felt
was the best depiction, I guess of my life. Like it was a good steady flow of my like kind of work I don't know history maybe and how I got where I am kind of thing. Yeah, So that was that So Fail, So Fail, So good. No need to mention my name Fallon and Jenny girl. And now there's a big picture, big pictures. Okay, Like some folks here, I'm a longtime listener, first time writer. I am one who listens to the podcast, but rarely the show. Not sure why. Actually, anyway, Jenny, do Trolltime. You
can do the hike in one day. But my partner and I hiked it and camped overnight there last year, and beautiful it doesn't describe it. Fallon two years ago. I went to Glacier National Park right after you did.
Thanks for not gate keeping great photo locations, and I have now started listening to the National Park after dark and I'm currently obsessed, y'all rock Do people still say that I attached a photo of our cliffside campsite and me at Trolltanga at sunrise just because forward so I can see a sorry gate keep, I want to see the pictures. I will say that, don't gate keep, and I will tell you after I come back from my trip. I almostant
that to Dave. After I come back from my trip from Switzerland and Paris, I'm going to tell you every single thing I did, because I don't. I don't gate keep. Yeah, it's nice to know, like, oh that was actually good or that actually sucked right, and I don't owe any like loyalties to Paris, so I don't have to worry about offending them. Well, I would say, the French would think otherwise, but you go ahead and offend them Fellon. Okay, I sent it to thank you.
We look at it right now, will I will say that I don't I did consider doing that. The hike she's talking about, it's like so many miles that it will take like your entire day, like probably where you should start at like five am to hopefully be done by five pm six pm. And obviously there's like safety percussions you have to take by doing such a
long hike. But now you are convincing me that maybe you don't do it all day and you do get up and see the sunrise, because someone else sent me an actual instagram of just that hike alone that does group tours and stuff, and they recommended doing the group tour where you camp and you get
in like those beautiful pictures of watching the sunrise and stuff. My fear of this hike is basically it's called Trochunga, which stands for basically the trolls thumb, And my fear is I will get there, and I won't have the balls to actually go out on the piece of rock that juts out like a thumb and is where you like see all the I mean, you can still see views from all over, but it's it's the picture everyone gets from the hike and probably be like, oh, I'll be like crawling, because that's
how I get when I get near heights, I like kind of lose the ability to move my legs and I start crouching to the ground. War and yet I am doing down for the challenge where I'm going off of building in like two months. Okay, next email, while you're looking at that balon, how exciting that you're visiting Switzerland. It's absolutely stunning. You're gonna love it. So we just left Switzerland today and we're headed to Florence, which is why I waited to email. I wanted to give you a full breakdown
of what we did and where to go. I'm only going to share this with you. I'm not going to read this. It's really long, so it's very specific to like my trips. I'm not going to waste that on you. Thank you so so much. Like literally Robert even broke down what to like select when you're paying for something with credit card, like because you get the option of like this kind of currency or this one, and which one actually charges you less form? Which that was okay, thank you Robert.
Which, by the way, if I do a recap of my trip and use Robert's tips, I will pass those along. Thank you. Next email, Oh, that's a birthday shout out for May seventeenth, Jenny, I'm gonna afford this to you. Wait do we already miss that with today's date? But it wasn't it me? What was the date that usually have? Today is a seventeenth? Okay, I'm gonna afford this to myself then, so I can do this on the show. Sorry, this is like
Live as it happens. Clearly on the topic of wedding favors, this email says we decided to have marriage advice mad libs. We thought it would be fun for us to read, and had pens made for our guests to keep. We thought a practical item that doesn't take up space was a good favor. Well, we didn't know. We should have put the rules of mad libs on every table. Apparently a lot of guests took the filling in the
blank literal in the transportation line. We now know what kind of vehicle many of our guests drove to the wedding, or they turned out like this one picture attached from our friends who thought they were funny. With our five year anniversary on Friday, I think we will have to go through and read these again and uh, okay, I won't read it. Let's just say there are things in their bad libs like fuck fest love each other, bad sex, okay, very funny love that. Um gosh, they're a lot Fallon
