I'll start off by saying, this has been a really unusual, busy, scrambly kind of a day here on the radio show, which we're just wrapping up. But because it is this thing called Access Day, and this was a big thing for the company and it's actually pretty cool, but we had to get it just right. We have to sell just the right things the right way, the right number of times and get people to go to the
website because it's a big sales initiative and we're a sales company. We have a product, but if we don't sell that product, our product is what's on the radio. But if we don't sell that product two advertisers, then we're not doing our job. So we had to make a big deal out of it. And Jenny has been scrambling and running and checking emails constantly and
it has been a busy, but I wouldn't say totally unenjoyable day. It was kind of fun to have something different to challenge us, wouldn't you think? So? Oh? I agree, I agree. I just there were so many emails that came in and the last week that last night is just checking all of the stuff because I build like prep things for the show either the day before in the morning, and so last night I was going through all these emails making sure I had the most updated stuff because things have changed
in the last few days. But yeah, it was just a lot, a lot of information to be able to get this right. Well, you give me an idea, but let's maybe talk about something that we've probably not talked about much. And that is how we prepare for the show every day. So this is the way it works. Ideas. Sometimes you get them from a brainstorm. Sometimes ideas pop into my head like boom, or you
get ideas too, or falling get ideas too. I'm responsible for ninety percent of the ideas because it's my job, because that's what I'm supposed to do. Dave, come up with ideas. So that's what was the one that I gave you yesterday. I gave you a couple of ideas and maybe we don't want to talk about them, so we will surprise you. But we talked about it. We're like, that's fucked up, Dave, that is a fucked up idea. But Drake laugh at his ass off. Do you
remember what it was? I don't want to say it. I can't. I can say it it involves fake like planting something somewhere. Yes, So anyway, so we come up with ideas and I'll either say, Jenny, here's an idea, write this down before I forget it. Because I come up with ideas and I don't record them into my Apple Watch. I've got a bunch of ideas on my Apple Watching, a little microphone function on there, and then I'll write it down, or I'll say, Jenny, write
this down. And sometimes we'll throw out on an idea and we'll kind of hash through it and we'll go that's never gonna work. Sorry, you can delete that one. Or other times this happens a lot fallon and I will come up with an idea like yeah, I guess what We're going to light farts on fire tomorrow, and Jenny will be like, are you guys serious? I don't know if you're serious or not. I never know if you guys are kidding, And sometimes we are kidding, and sometimes we're like,
no, it actually could work. Yeah, there was. It's pointless for me to even say it, but there was one recently in that I was like, are we being serious? And you were like, well, I wasn't at first, but Fallen laugh. So now I think we do consider it, but I don't remember what it was we were talking about. So we'll come up the ideas, and then after ten o'clock, when we kind of get everything done, we run and get a snack, or we get
a salad or whatever. Downstairs there's a deli, and we'll come back in at ten o'clock or ten after whatever, and then we'll start going, Okay, it's a very informal brainstorming idea session, and Jenny will say like, okay, Tomorrow we've got no phone screen or Friday, we're gonna have Nerdy On. He's gonna be here from eight until late thirty. We need Susan Collin and tell us about her whatever, blah blah blah. But we still
need something big for seven o'clock. And then that's when Fallon and I usually do things like, yeah, we're gonna we're actually gonna murder Drake at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and then Jenny'll be like, you guys, seriously what or Jenny will start in and go, okay, can I'm order him?
Can I have the first shot? Whatever? And so we kind of fuck around a little bit and then we get a little bit more serious and say, well, here's something we shouldn't talk about or something we should talk about, like like yesterday during brainstorming, today's the first day of Pride month, and I said, you know what, Drake, you should do something about how to come out, tips on how to come out that might work for you, and then tips if your kid comes out to you, how to
handle it the dues and don't And so we wrote that down and then we have this. It's basically a grid with all these different blank spots in it, and there's a couple of big spots we got to fill up, Like the seven o'clock spot is always a big one because that's a time when a lot of people get out of bed, their alarm goes off at seven o'clock, they turn the radio on. Hopefully we want them to hear something pretty substantial and then you know, so anyway, so we plan the show.
We leave here. What time we leave it always varies for everyone, but it can be anywhere from like eleven thirty to like one pm. Sometimes not usually not, but I was there one on Tuesday, but it was because of helping out with stuff, because people aren't vacation, okay, right, and then we go home and we get a lot of the rest of the day free, but we're still kind of like we're doing social media and we're thinking of ideas and if something comes to you while you're out on a run,
you will you write it down or remember it or whatever. And then later in the day, by five six seven, we all check in on an app and say, here's what I did today, or Hey, just thought of something. We got to do this tomorrow because everybody's talking about it. Or I went and saw a movie tonight and it's so good, we got to talk about it tomorrow. And then the rest of our show prep
is basically go to sleep and have a life and go to sleep. Yeah, because I always tell people, because I coach radio shows, I say, you gotta have a life. You gotta go do something. You can't come into work every day and say I watched a lot of Netflix. I mean, that's funny once in a while, But if every day you do the same thing, you're not going to be that interesting. And I think one of the life's lessons is that goes for anything. If you're a stockbroker,
if you're a firefighter, or a nurse. Every day. You're going to do something. Not every day, but you got to do some different things once in a while, or you just become boring and predictable. I agree. That's why I play in a kickball league, and I like to talk about my kickball league all the time, even though you guys don't like to always listen. But let me tell you, I switched positions from being shortstopped and nobody cares. Nobody cares. You probably play like a beast.
You're probably like the people on my daughter's volleyball team who were just beasts. And I don't mean the way they were built. I mean the way they played. Just aggressive. Just it's kickball, Jenny, you're taking it too seriously. All right, let's get on the email and see what we have going on here. I will say that the emails are kind of a scramble,
but let's see what we got. When you guys talked about having dreams that become coincidences, I thought, finally I've got something to write in about. For as long as I can remember, I have always had crazy intuition and felt like my dreams were letting me in on little secrets. I won't bore you with examples, but one time in particular sticks out. My best friend of twenty years got married a few years ago and moved three hours away
from her hometown. One night, I had a dream that something was very wrong with her, but no matter what I did, I could not go get her in the dream. I didn't know exactly what was wrong, but I felt such sadness. I was scared. I could not shake the feeling for the entire day, and I had a pit in my stomach. The next night, her dad had a massive heart attack and passed away. I can't explain it, but I just know I was being prepared for the moment
the phone call came. It was such a shock at twenty five to experience your friend losing a parent, but it really opened my eyes to how short life can be. Anyway, love the show and everything you guys do. Thank you. That is from Kendra. I'm sorry that you know. I was really worried. You're gonna say your friend died. Yeah, and I'm not saying I'm relieved it was her dad, but I was definitely happy that it was not her. Okay, Dave and team, I've been on worst
date Wednesday. I've also had many encounters with Dave throughout the years. I don't know if this is taboo enough for group therapy, but I'm gonna pickle my best friend of eight years. This is from a guy, by the way, is in love with our mutual female best friend. She friend zoned him way back in the past because he wasn't her type. When she was going with her through a breakup with her X, I was there for her and recently went through a breakup of my own. Her and I actually connected
and entertained the idea of dating. Everybody is pushing for her to go for it, and I really want to as well, but the best friend is the reason why we aren't. So it's kind of like a love triangle. Is this is a situation we just let go or do we talk to him about it? Neither of us to lose him as a best friend. I know I couldn't handle it. Oh my god. It's definitely not taboo. It's very interesting. I bet there's a lot of love triangles where you both
like somebody. I think sometimes the problem is that somebody doesn't like either of you back. But in this case, it sounds like she likes you back, not your friend. I think one thing that I've learned in life is if you are in love, pursue it. If you are in love and the other person is willing to help you pursue it, don't pass up on that. But also make sure it really is a strong love, not just a lust, not just I want to get in your pants kind of a
thing. That's probably not worth it losing a friendship over. But if you feel a real bond, like you can see yourself going on vacation with this person and you know, maybe one day getting older, retiring with this person. If you can see that, then that's love worth pursuing. But if it's just like, yeah, you know what I wonder, I wonder what they look like naked, well that's not worth losing a friendship. What do you think? No? I agree. I mean they always say that it's
best to have good friends that have different taste in men. Well, like in my situation, because I did have a best friend in high school and her and I always like the same guy, and she was hotter than me, and so the guy than you. She the guys definitely went for her more than me, and I was used to it, so it never like
really hurt me. But what would hurt me is if I like didn't get invited somewhere because they were like, well, we don't want Jenny to come because so and so is going to be there, and I want to be able to flirt with him and not have her there since she has a crush on him too. And so it's like like Tina and I web girl Tina
that used to work here. We always joked like we're such good friends because we are, but also we have completely different taste than men, like neither like what she found attractive was not something I did, and vice versa, and so that was always like great in our friendship. No, that's good. So you're not both like hitting on the same guy. It's like, well I saw him first. Next one says, good morning, Dave.
My boyfriend and I were having dinner at my parents house tonight and afterwards, my mom surprised us with a dessert, t Rex Cookies fresh from the oven. My mom informed me that they sell four pack of frozen t Rex cookies at cub for ten bucks. Thought you might like to know, so you can have your favorite cookies whenever you want. As I'm writing this email, I remember you trying to get fit ha ha, So I apologize if this is unwelcome information. L O L. As a side note, my brother
calls the indns and waffles flavor holes. I thought you'd get a good laugh from that. That is a good point, because I mean they do they add the flavor because if you get it airs it, it ariates your waffles and therefore adds flavor to it. With love from Joyce. And Joyce actually points out I'm not an old lady because Joyce's tends to be an older woman's name is Dave, an older guy's name. It kind of is. My girlfriend is engaged to a Dave. He goes by David too, but it's
both. And I mean, there's Dave Fallon's brother in law, but I guess that's Dave. I don't know if his full name is Davy or if it's Dave, but I don't really I think Dave is kind of still universal. Okay, somebody wrote in and the subject line is mental strength, but it hooks me to a next door page and I don't remember my next door
sign in. So if you are Dan and you wrote in about mental strength, screenshot of whatever you're trying to say, send a screenshot, because I am not I don't know my next door log in, so I'm going to delete that one, Dan, but I'm gonna encourage you to send a screenshot. Nixt Wan, please don't say my name. I thought the conversation of intuition on the Minnesota Goodbye was interesting and I wish there were more stories that
you had or people can contribute. Although I've never had this sixth sense, my cousin has a wild recent story. My grandpa passed away a year ago unexpectedly early in the morning. My cousin, who was very close with my grandpa, actually had a dream that same night that he was riding a motorcycle
with my grandpa. He was trying to tell my grandpa something important. Actually, he was trying to tell him that his wife was pregnant and they were going to name the baby after him, but my grandpa couldn't hear him. Then they crashed and he never had a chance to tell him. My cousin was woken up from the dream to a phone call saying Grandpa passed away. His response was, just I know, gives me the chills to think about it, But I really do think my grandpa had somehow weaseled his way into
my cousin's dream immediately after passing, clearly the favorite grandchild. Smiley face. I am absolutely obsessed with the show and I cannot get enough thanks for being with me on Thanks for being with me on all my boozy summer night walks. Ha. Wow, that is I've heard of stories like that where you just get a feeling, or you get a chill, or you get something and then the phone rings or something like that. That has never happened with
me. I've never had any kind of experience like that. You ever get the thing? You get this once in a while where a friend will call and say, hey, are you okay? Or text and say you okay? Yeah, Why I had a dream you died last night. Have you ever gotten that before? No? I haven't, but I've I've texted a friend or two that before because I have had like bad dreams like that.
I had one really bad one a few weeks ago. Okay, that was about Andrew dying, honestly, and I woke up and I was like having an anxiety attack because it felt so real and I didn't want to like talk to him until like later that day. I didn't want to like spook him or like bring that to fright right, But I did eventually tell him because I woke up so upset and I was like almost in tears because I dreamt of that because it can seem so real, and it's like, are you
okay? All right? That's going to wrap it up for the Minnesota goodbye. If you want to send an email, we would love to hear from you. Send that into Ryan Show at KDWB dot com
