Transcript

Can I be real honest with you? And I feel bad saying this. It's not about you, it's about my wife. Okay. So we had three bananas rotting on the kitchen counter yesterday. Yeah, and I don't mind bananas. I'm kind of like you. I don't mind him if they're a little bit brown or even a lot brown. And I said, you know, I'm gonna make a smoothie with old banana. She's like why, and I said, so they don't go to waste. And she said, well, let me make banana bread. And I said, oh, okay,

banana bread then, huh, which is not her thing. But so she made banana bread last night and she sent me in with the entire loaf right here here it is. It is a loaf of banana bread. Yeah. She said, have your people at work eat it, and I said, yeah, that'll be great. I don't want to give you banana bread and have you pretend that you want it. Pretend I don't even like banana bread

that much. Oh, I love banana bread. I thought you're about to tell me that she like burnt it and it's awful, and you don't even want to to try it because you know that it's really bad because you tried it already. I love banana bread. It's like you have all you are the top favorite breads that you can bay. I like banana bread if it's heated up and with some butter on it. I mean, yeah, that adds some nice flavor to it. So you can have the banana bread.

I'm gonna put in the kitchen and I will leave it out there. But the problem is with no butter. There might be some butter in the fridge. I'm not sure. Maybe I'll even note that says there's butter in the fridge. Because a year or so ago, Lando Lakes came by and gave me like a shit ton of butter. Do you remember that? Yeah, it was only like four months ago. It wasn't that long ago, because I still have some of it, really, Yeah, because I took some

of these like butterballs home with me. Yeah, they've been delightful. So I'm gonna put in the kitchen. I don't really want any myself, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings. She does not listen to the podcast at all. Yeah, so she will not know that I did not distribute banana bread among you and Drake and Bailey. But I felt bad for the other day. She's been kind of down because her business is kind of tough right now time for her business, and so she was nearly in tears the

other day because they're having trouble getting bookings for her business. And I said, oh, it'll pop back up, it'll pick back up. And then she made some cookies because of about five years ago, she thought that she would become a cookie decorator and sell cookies on the side. So she bought a very expensive mixer and all the tools to make fancy decorated cookies. So she was trying to make candy corns and pumpkin cookies, and she burnt a

batch. Oh it almost makes me try just thinking about it. And then she was crying a little bit because of her work. Then she burnt cookies and then she had to throw the cookies away. It's like she's had a bad yeah week or so anyway, take all the banana bread you want. Oh, I'll take some. I mean, if Drake was here today, that kid would have ate half the loaf by now. So I don't I do feel like there are people in this building and usually if you put anything

in the break room, someone's going at it. I feel like sometimes I do it myself. I'm almost like ashamed to eat something in the breakroom, Like I kind of grab something quick, and I'm like, nobody saw me do that, you know, because I really, well, just because I don't know how long it's been sitting out. So am I disgusting that I'm eating these cookies or muffins that were probably a day and a half old at this point. So sometimes I take things real quickly and discreetly so that nobody

can see me because I don't want the judgment. But I mean, if it's like within a day of seeing it sitting there, I think people don't care. In the lead, I am not real. I don't eat a lot of stuff out of the breakroom there. I came out on Friday, I think it was Friday. There were ribs, like somebody's leftover ribs like Famous days or somebody came with the ribs and leftover ribs that have been there for I don't know how long. Did not look appealing, cold, leftover?

How old are these ribs? Did not look good. There was donuts in there the other day. Not a sweet person, but if there's pizza leftover in the breakroom. I'm usually not very picky about it. You know, pizza's a good shelf life, it does, you know, I feel like that. And then like cookies that are still within the container if they've been like sitting in a box open or something, I'm not gonna go after

those with the ones that are still in a container. But we have been lucky to get so many donuts sent into the radio station, either ours or someone else's, that they get placed in the breakroom half the time that I'm so over donuts now too. I don't I like donuts, but I just don't care to eat them. Usually if they are offered up. That's kind of the go to treat when people bring in morning show food. They're like, oh, let's bring the morning show some donuts. And I do love

a good maple bar, fucking maple bar, Jenny. I will kill for a good maple bar. Yeah, and sometimes a chocolate donut. But yeah, I'm not like an anyway, have it the banana bread. I'll have a bite. I'll definitely have a bite. Andy Wrights in in Good Morning Dave Jenny j Dave Jenny Drake love the Morning show. I'm glad to hear Drake and Jenny getting more time to show off their comedic skills. Also thanks

for playing replaying a classic Dix Insider episode in the podcast. I was out for a walk and almost died laughing listening to an episode from last week and wanted to commiserate with Dave about his ongoing cough. I got six September twentieth, and the cough just would not go away. I finally went to urgent care a week ago prescribed an antibiotic, but it's still not resolved that I'm frustrated. Like Dave, I didn't really get a specific diagnosis post ReViral cough,

which is annoying. A fll. My cough is ninety nine percent God, so say I didn't hear you cough at all. There was like one point in the show where you cleared your throat, but I don't think I've heard you cough at all today. This is what my affliction is now because my belly hurts. You know, I had belly pain for like twelve years and it started off just like a little bit of belly pain and I thought,

oh, well, I'll go in. They said, oh, it's your gallbladder, had the gallbladder taken out, and it's only gotten worse over the years. I have had every colonoscopy three times, endoscopy where they go down your throat three times. I've swallowed the camera pill. I've done what's the thing when you lay in the big tube? So no, not a cat scan? Yeah, I think it's I think. So I've had that. I've had X rays, I did the camera pill. I've done everything

from pain management. I even did hypnosis, which that's a whole other thing. Hypnosis to me, I think if you're getting hypnotized, you are faking that you're hypnotized. And I sat there in the chair pretended that I was hypnotized, and I felt stupid and I never went back. Was it a one on one situation? So you just felt like you should know, Jenny, was a carnival game. It was at the fucking State Fair, and they called me up and they had me they had me do a Peter from

Family Guy impression, and then they cured my pain. Jenny, get your shit together, Get your shit together, Jenny, trying to grasp it as to why you felt obligated to fake it, because it was just you and him that's her. It was a her. That's a good question, because I think that's a really good question, Jenny. Why did I feel obligated to fake it? I don't know. I don't know, but I I

was faking it. I didn't want to fake it. I wanted it to be real, but I felt like the entire time that I was faking the whole thing. Tell me your experience with hypnotism. There's a conversation starter, right, Have you ever been hypnotized? No, I don't even try to have my hand. I try to be invisible if I've ever been in a crowd where they're looking for people for that, because I don't believe it's real, and I just don't even if it is real, and they can kind

of get you to go to sleep. I'm the last person anyone's going to get to go to sleep because I have such bad sleeping issues. So I'm not going to be a crime. Geny's got inby she's the only one not hypnotized. But we've done a couple of shows at Treasure Island, and this was going back to the intern John days, where we had a hypnotist like a world traveling or at least us traveling hypnotist go to Treasure Island and do

a show. And in turn, John when he was on the show, always volunteered and he always faked it, and he was funny as fuck because he would get up there and he was not hypnotized, and he would be like, no, man, I'm not hypnotized. I'm just faking it to be fun and entertaining. And he would do shit and you feel like you can get away with like, you know, Okay, you're the world's best beatboxer. You're at the world's greatest beatboxing championship. Let's hear your stuff,

ready, go, And John got it. He had to look stupid, because that's what's funny about it. Yeah, and he had the excuse of I didn't know what I was doing. I was hypnotized. Yeah. So we've had hypnotists on the show before, and it was a long time ago, and I I never got hypnotized. It wasn't my thing. So anyway, I have tried the reason back, coming back full circle to the pain

in my stomach. I don't feel like coughing now, but the pain right now today is so bad that I'm kind of wincing as I talk a little bit because you kind of hear me kind of do that once in a while. And it's because it hurts so bad that I kind of have to clinch up and it's frustrating and it affects the way I talk a little bit because I kind of talged like this a little bit. It's because it hurts so bad and there's nothing that anybody has figured out I had to do about it.

Dabbing pain. I'm trying to understand what it is. It can be. It's more of a punch okay, or burning kind of a pain okay, And it varies and sometimes it's not bad at all, and right now it's not bad, but it's bad enough that it's making me WinCE a little bit. So fuck it's it's it's frustrating, and it really start up again, like being so bad again, because I feel like I was gonna say, I don't feel like you've complained too much about stomach issues, like every

once in a while, but not consistently. A couple of days ago, separate topic, Davi and Jenny were discussing buy nothing groups on Facebook and how they work. I belong to one and I love it so much. I bought a condo in March, which took almost all my savings, and getting items from the group for free has been nothing short of fantastic. I've got kitchen items, paintings, lamps, and more. Not only our members saving

money, we are keeping things out of landfills. I had read that a lot of donated items never make it to the selling floors but get tossed out. So buy nothing is good for the pocketbook and the planet. What do you know about buying nothing groups? Because I know almost nothing. I mean, from what I know, you have to you have to be living in that neighborhood to be able to be a part of it, and then you either post something that you're giving away for free, or you can ask for

something if you're specifically like I need four martini glasses. Does anyone have four martini glasses laying around? And if someone comments, then you go pick them up from their house. Or someone's giving away a slide or something I don't know, like sure slide. They're like, here's a kid's slide. You can comment on it and then you're in the running for it. I've commented I'm on the Salam's Park one and I've commented it on a couple things I've

never won. I don't they usually do like a random draw or something if there's a bunch of comments on it, but then they pick someone and then you go pick it up from their house and it's just kind of the same as Facebook Marketplace, just no money's changed at all. I like that because, for example, I'm reading the book that's called Nobody Wants Your Shit.

I ordered it the other day and it's basically the Sweetish Death Cleaning, and it's you know, I'm only a couple of chapters in, but it's talking about the benefits of getting rid of all your shit, and the main one is, you know, it's peace of mind. You have more space, but also you don't want to think of your loved ones, like Allison, for example, after I died, she'll already be sad, I hope, going through the house, going there's so much stuff in here, Dad,

Oh my god. So yesterday I was looking for something. I forget what, and I looked under a cabinet in the basement and there was our old dishes, our old like you know, pots, not pots, but plates and saucers and cups and little you know, that type of thing, our old set that we had when we first got married. Somebody would want that. But if I put it on Facebook Marketplace, I'd go through the whole rigmarole of like, well twenty five bucks, well will you take fifteen,

and then they might not show up. But if I put it on the Buy Nothing, I could just say, hey, here it is, I'll pick one person, right, you pick one person, yep, set it on the front porch. Then you're done. Yep. It's very simple. Okay. I think I'm going to do that because I hate the idea of, like she says, Annie, this is still Annie's email, of throwing it in a landfill so somebody could get some more use out of it. Next one was wondering how Drake's hunt for the new apartment is going. I

might have missed it, but I haven't heard the latest updates. I was also reminded of the conversation several months ago about him maybe buying a house, and I wanted to suggest him looking into buying a condo. I thought I was absolutely dead set on buying a single family house, but then my reallders showed me a condo in the city I already lived in and absolutely met my needs. My mortgage is reasonable, and the HOA covers everything except internet and

electric even heat, something to keep in mind for the future. I don't know, Drake will talk about it a lot, and then he won't talk about it at all. He found a place, He did find a place. Yes, he found a new apartment and as far as I'm looking into a condo because he's actually talked to my boyfriend to be his real estate agent. Drake wants a house because he doesn't want to be living in a building where his neighbors can hear him through the walls because he's a streamer. Oh

he screams. That's why he mostly was like interested in buying in the first place. He didn't want to move to another apartment and then have neighbors annoyed with him because he's constantly streaming and yelling and stuff like that. So I don't think condo living would work for what he's kind of looking for and owning a property. But I mean, I agree with her that condo living can be much more affordable than buying a house right now, Okay, interesting,

Yeah, I'm sure that's really true. And I mean condos are great because a lot of the time, there's no lawn care and no snow removal. She goes on to say, y'all are my favorite radio people. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thank you. She wrote this on Friday seventh listener dart Lick, I'm calling HR. I work in HR, and I find this bit hilarious. It should be brought back with Jenny as the HR rep and Dave and Drake calling her. We're actually taking inspiration from you,

Annie. We're doing the HR bit tomorrow and I'm taking your kids to school. Best War of the Roses ever, Steph writer Annie from Roseville. Thank you, Annie, you basically took up the entire podcast this time. Send me an email about hypnotism and let me know whether you've been hypnotized, whether you believe in it. Some people probably are very firmly believing in it and some people are not. And that is it for the Minnesota Goodbye Emails to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
