Minnesota. Good bye. You Ready, Jennifer, I'm ready? Okay, ready go. Do you have emails or do you want me to come up with something. I was hoping that you would have something. No, I'm kidding, so I could tell you a story, Tell you a story,
okay. And Andrew hosted some guys over for the Wolves game on Saturday, and he did such a typical guy thing where he happened to just be running to Minards for something he needed for the house, and so he thought maybe I should get some snacks for the boys, and he got some weird ass chips that I've never heard of in my entire life before, called Hers. Have you ever heard of that brand? Nope? Yeah, they were weird and he got funky flavors and he got them and all the guys were bitching
and they're like, Jenny, what did you have Andrew doing? I was like, listen, when I host, there's a whole spread. I've got it all set up to go. But like, Andrew just happened to be at Minars and he's like, maybe I should grab these chips, and that's what happened. But then he told me after they left he saved the good flavors for himself. So he did buy good flavors that were decent. They weren't awful chips. Is that he just said he bought some really weird like
horse radish, some weird shit kind of chip. Oh my god, I love that. I would try the horse radish. That is so funny because I think if it was gonna be most people, you'd want to put the best flavors out for your friends. You would think, so, these must be good friends. They are spread. Yeah, I was gonna say, because if they were not the best friends or newer friends, you would put out a good spread. Yep. But if it's your buddies that are gonna
be with you no matter what you put out the shit flavors. But the horse Radish ones sound kind of good. We went to t REANX over the weekend. We got cookies and it was like, no, which ones do you want? And they have about twenty varieties maybe more varieties in the window, and so there was just so many. But I didn't want to be a pig and be like I'm gonna have one of each. But it's like, well you can have another one. I'm like, okay. So the
nerds they were basically nerds baked into a sugar cookie. That was good. I'd give it about a six on a scale of one to ten. There's another one called Bomb, which is like marshmallow cow, like s'mores. It's like a smore baked into a cookie. That was probably about a seven. The Dave Ryan cookie, I'd say was about an eight. But yeah, even you know, I mean, you can't go wrong with a cookie. No, you really can't. And t Rex's the bust email. Hello morning
show crew. I've been a long time listener, love your show. Dave. I was the one who said hi on Floyd's patio on Sunday while I was out celebrating with my some birthdays with my family. Aaron. I absolutely remember you because I walked in and I heard Dave Ryan, and so I was like, oh, well, I'll go say hi. So I met Grandma and everybody else and that was kind of cool. This might be more of a Jenny question, but it's something I can't figure out the answer.
I'm curious what you guys thoughts are on it. My best friend is about to get married and the bachelorette party is this coming weekend. Now this is her second wedding and second bachelorette party. My question is is it customary to bring a gift, like do I bring one just because or is it a hey, I already got you one situation. I've been going back and forth on this for a couple of weeks and I appreciate any thoughts on it. I would love a staff writer sticker, and I will mail you one thank
you guys that is from Aaron Jenny your thoughts. I only do bachelor att party presence when there's like games involved. So like a lot of times you play a game with like underwear, everyone brings a pair of underwear that describes like that person's personality, and then the bride tries to guests who brought the underwear, so that's kind of like a gift to them. So I only bring gifts that are four games for bachelor att parties. So I would say
no, but maybe I'm wrong about that. I just don't think i've been to ones where you're supposed to bring gifts that's more of a bridal shower thing. So no gift for the bachelorette party unless it's required because of like a game you're playing, like the underwear game. I don't think there's probably a title for the game. I don't know what it's called. Think you're fine, Aaron. I think you're fine not doing a gift, but I am the wrong boy to ask. I don't know. Definitely buy her a drink
when you're out by a drink. But yeah, and you should be good. Keith writes in sitting here listen to Minnesota Goodbye and felt the urge to email in. I live in Seattle and stumble across your show a couple of years ago while looking for new morning shows. At the time, there were a couple that I listened to locally that I was caught up on and searching for others through iHeart searches. I came across your show and John Jay's That's
a show in Phoenix. Well, several days later, the radio executives did what they do to our local shows, and now your shows have become my exclusive shows. For different reasons. I'm around your age, with the same views, and I don't have a ton of buddies, so it's nice to hear your views, insights and such and know that I'm not the only one. As usual, I'm late to the party and liking your show thirty years too late about the time you retire, but we'll continue to listen to what
the show becomes. Thank you all for what you do. Keith. That is such a great story. I don't know what happened to our iHeart shows in Seattle, or if they they just demolished the iHeart shows out there, or they changed everything up or made it unrecognizable or what. But I'm glad you found our show. Yeah, and John Jay and Rich is a really good show too. It's interesting. I'm always curious Keith, and thanks for answering how it is that you found our show if you don't live here.
So thank you Keith. Are you waving? No, I was just adjusting and looking at you. Give me the wrap up and next one from Ala, she says, First time writer, longtime listener. I do want to start by thanking your wonderful show. You've given me company on some of my loneliest life transitions, to name a few, first semester of college, first cubicle job, other new jobs that followed the stay at home mom life,
et cetera. What prompted me to write was the dog Leash conversation. To answer your question, I do get uncomfortable when dogs are around me unleashed, and and get even more nervous when I'm with my kids and dogs are unleashed around us. I do realize that Minnesota is such a dog loving place, and I usually pretend that I'm interested in your dog when they come around and sniff me, but truth be tall, they get grossed out and I'm annoyed
if they leave dog hair on me. I do also have to add in the majority of my family has a real phobia dogs, as where our family is from, dogs aren't kept as pets and either wild or they're either wild or guard dogs. So please don't assume that everybody is comfortable with your dog put a freaking leash on them. Too harsh, you asked, So, there are cultures and I don't know where they don't have dogs for pets.
And they look at Americans and how we, you know, have a stroller for our dog and a little coat for our dog and paint our dogs toenails or whatever, and they go, are you kidding? Your dog sleeps in the bed with you? Because there are some cultures and maybe you can help me with some I don't know. Yes, it's like that in Thailand. It was like that in Tahiti. We talked to our Airbnb hosts in Tahiti and he was like, yeah, you Americans are weird with your dogs.
Like he did have a dog, because they're trying to do all kinds of like animal control stuff, but people just like don't follow it, even though they have like funding for it, and so then like dogs still get pregnant and have babies and whatever. So he does have a dog himself because of weird circumstances, but the dog does not get to come inside the house. The dog stays outside at all times. And his dog had recently been hit
by a car and was limping when we saw it. And he's like, she's a warrior, she'll be fine, Oh wow, And she was fine. She was just living her life. She's just so she was kind of like a domesticated dog but still a little bit wild because she just run around and like leave the yard and go run around the neighborhood and stuff. And so yeah, those are the two places I've been where dogs are not really pets to people. And two people from those countries they look at us just
like what are you doing? They going to say, also, I just have to say this because this topic comes up twice month or twice a year, and Dave's take always has me screaming at the show. But no, not everyone pees in the shower. Stop assuming that Dave's smiley face. I've surveyed people in my circle and they are shocked at the question. Okay, that's my two hot takes. Here's a dart for funzies that's from Ali. You know what I pee in the shower? I think most people do.
Maybe it is again a cultural thing where it's like, no, that's disgusting, would never do that. I heard a long time ago of a king or a president of some country that's not here that said, yeah, drink your own urine for good health practices. And so here's a culture that said, yeah, drink your own urine for good health practices, kind of like drinking and ensure. It's like, oh, okay, you want to have a little extra health boost, drink your own urine. Let me know if
you drink. I'm going to pass so hard, guys, I gotta say I'm thankful for people that buy brand name SUVs and then either can't afford the payment and get rid of it or decide they want to upgrade and get rid of it. I love my Yukon EXL. It's at twenty sixteen and we bought it with a brand new tranny for twenty six thousand and bought it with
cash. My husband's twenty twelve diesel truck is also paid off, so thanks to those people who have insane payment So in other words, you got a car you can't afford, so it gets repossessed or you have to trade it in. Also, Hannah says, I hate, hate, hate when people don't least their dogs in public. That lady was mad that someone called her out for not following the rules, ridiculous. My dog is the best dog ever for us. She loves my kids and is so gentle and one thousand
other great things. But if a dog ever ran up to me and her kids in public. Oh, if a dog ever ran up to me and her kids in public, she would snap and would not hesitate to defend her family. I see, which she has done before to me. People who don't leash their dogs in public don't care about their dog safety. Because my dog is friendly, that's great for you, but mine isn't, not to other dogs. When my kids are around anyway. Yeah, you know what
I'm always gonna side on put your dog on a leash. You know, I get the temptation, but that's part of the stipulations of having a dog, ye is, You've got to clean up the dog poop and you got to put your dog on a leash. Not that big of an ask. How are we doing for time? We got a few minutes? Okay, all right, right? This one says My fiance and I recently went through our marriage preparation retreat, a two day workshop basically where you have uncomfortable or
intense discussion around must have talks between you and your partner. We are twenty seven, twenty eight. We've had the majority of tough conversations before we went on the retreat. However, it got me thinking, what are we considered what are considered uncomfortable conversations to other couple. The whole retreat, we kept being shocked that so many people hadn't had these conversations already. But we're fast approaching a spring or summer wedding date. Oh, this should be good.
I'm sure it varies couple the couple and with every situation, but what have been some of the most uncomfortable couple conversations you've had with your partner. Here are a few of ours. How many and when? Should we have kids? What does our life look like if we can't have kids? Do we adopt or accept? What are our financial priorities? I've got student debt, my husband doesn't. What does living below mean means? What does living below means mean to us? Should we do this? What if one of us
loses our job? What happens when one of our parents passes? Do we how'se the widow if they aren't doing okay? Can our siblings who don't go to church be god parents to our children? When faith is important to us? Have a dart lick and week? Those are really interest I can't say that Susan and I are most couples probably ever had those. I admire people who go to wedding preparation classes. Yeah, those, I mean those are
some pretty intense. I think the kid's conversation is probably one that most people have, and I would hope financial, but I mean, we've gotten enough emails into the Minnesota Goodbye to know that people got married and then we're just absolutely bamboozled by their partners' finances and didn't know what a they don't know, they don't know. I really like the what happens when one of our parents passes? Do we allow the widow or the survivor to live with us if
they aren't doing okay? So, in other words, if I were to die, would Susan move in with Alison and justin Fuck? No? If we were older, maybe yeah. The house that we bought, the mother in law lived with the family and you know, kind of paid her keep by doing house cleaning and cooking and things like that. But I always thought I wouldn't want a mother in law, no way. But I mean, if they don't have anywhere else to go, what are you gonna do?
I'd love your thoughts. What is a good tough marriage question? Send it to me to Ryan Show at kadiwb dot com. We have time for a few more emails here on the Minnesota Goodbye. Let me find my email and try to open it up again here, So I'm going to delete that one from Sammy and this one Serge. I am a first time writer for The Minnesota Goodbye, and on top of that, have not interacted with you guys on your show either. Says Emily. I listen to your show every day
on iHeartRadio. Been listening since middle school when I rode the bus to school. I remember having my mom listen to you guys when I was young for War the Roses, and she was like, how is this appropriate for your age? But now she knows all about you guys due to me talking about you guys all the time. To get to my question, I'm going to go to San Antonio with my mother in May, and I would like to know if you guys have any recommendations. Also going to my cousin's graduation party
and see Falls South Dakota and looking to get hotel or Airbnb. But I'm sho socked, so shocked at the price range up to five hundred dollars a night. I remember a couple of years ago going on trips and getting great hotels Airbnbs for one hundred dollars a night. I know you guys travel a lot, especially Jenny. Do you run into this? Do you have any advice? Also? Can I have a staff writer sticker? Well, first of all, I will send you a staff writer sticker, no question.
I don't have anything for you on San Antonio at all I wish I did. I don't know anything about it except I think the Alamo is there,
and I've heard it's not that fun. Jenny talk about airbnbs. My biggest tip is that if you see an airbnbn and says it's hosted by a company name instead of like hosted by Ann or hosted by John, look up that company name and you can most likely get it for cheaper through that company is a vacation rental website, because usually it's a vacation rental done at that point, what a great tip? Are you serious? I learned that a handful
of years ago, and I have been telling people ever since. So that's like the only thing I really have for you, though, trust me, I get it. I paid like two hundred and fifty dollars for a two star shit hotel in Duluth back in September for e White's wedding, and I was just like a pall that it was that much for a really, really shitty hotel. Yeah, I remember that story. Oh it was wild.
So let's review that again. So let's say I go to Airbnb and I find a house on one two three Main Street and it says hosted by the paulse In Corporation. Yeah, then what do I do? Look up just Google pulse In and then see if it's a vacation rental website and you should be able to book right through there because a lot of the places in Colorado it'll be like Vicasa or Summit County or something, and I'll look those places up. Okay, that is going to do it a rapid ending because we
got to go the Minnesota goodbye. Please send your emails to Ryan Show at KTWB dot com. Remember tomorrow's Naughty Tuesday. If you got anything, would love to hear it.
