All right, here we go with a Minnesota goodbye. You know what. On the way into work this morning, I thought of something we should talk about, and of course now I can't remember at all what it is, so that's all right. We'll just go to the emails and here we go. Rachel writes in good Morning, David Bailey. Hi, I never thought there'd be a day that I called my mom and said, Mom, you're gonna be so proud of me. I was just on Katie WGB and talked
about how I think Max from a Goofy movie is hot. But today or yesterday, depending on when you read this, was that day. I did google it, and yes, both Rocks and in Powerline are dogs. The Mickey Mouse world is just full of animals. Makes sense. What an observation fun fact about me? Before I went to teaching interviews, I would play power Line song stand Out on repeat to pump me up and get myself in
the right mindset to get the job. It was the perfect song. So if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to stand out, try listening to that bang Ah. I already proudly displayed my staff writer sticker on my water bottle and I hope you have an amazing week. Right. That's from Rachel. Do You reach Out? That is a really great song, but I too, I is a better song. I think. Give me a little bit more of either one of those. We're doing it too?
Ah? Is it a power line song? Yeah? That's those are both power lines Stana. I wish I knew the actual words to any of those songs, but I don't. I watched that movie with Allison when she was little several times, and I always felt bad for Goofy because he wanted to you know, Max was such a little asshole. Yeah, and it really made me feel bad for Goofy because he was really trying to bond with Max. Yeah. And it's hard to bond sometime with your kids and you
try to find something they like to do. And well, I say, it's hard, it's not. You find something they like to do, sure, and then you bond that way. But I agree. I never I did not like watching the Goofy movie because it made me so uncomfortable because poor Goofy was just like shot on by Max the whole time. Now, uncomfortable.
Bailey and I in Vaughant thought of a funny bit that we're never going to do because we you know, we have a wicked sense of humor around here, Like Fallon and I. When Fallon was on the show, we have a TV up in the corner of the screen of the room and we'd be watching, you know, like the Today Show or whatever, and Fallon and I had a goofy bit that we used to do where if a woman was an astronaut and she's on the news, Fallon would be like, look
at her dressed up like an astronaut, Like they'd have a woman astronaut, of course, and we'd laugh. And if there was a woman cop, I'd look up and I'd go, look at that. She must have borrowed her dad's cop uniform, And so we'd laugh because it was so over the top sexist, stupid doctor, So write a lady doctor, can you imagine?
So Bailey and I in vant we're talking about how here would be a really funny bit where you get a big dick pic on your phone and then you go, Bailey, look, there's a cute little baby panda, like a panda, and then I show her yes, and so it's a dick pic. And so we've been doing it all morning without a dick pic. No, but I'll hold up my phone and I'll like, oh, Bailey, look at what Susan found a target. And then I'll show Bailey.
And so then Bailey started joining in too, so go give me around here, go ahead, You're like, oh, Dave, I saw this really beautiful poem. I'd love for you to read it. Here you go,
Oh my eyes, it's a dick pic. And so we actually thought about doing a skit about it, and we'd walk around the station, like showing different people and like as if that were a funny bit where it's actually it's a very Michael Scott is kind of a bit, yeah, where Michael Scott would walk around the office and say, oh, I'm going to show this to Pam. Oh, Pam, look it's a kitten and it's a dick pic. And Pam is like oh, and then Michael would be like,
oh, that's very funny, right exactly? Did you watch The Office? I live on the Office. I love the Office so much. Yeah, I love that too. So all right, yeah, Angela writes in, and she says, waffles. We made waffles for dinner last night. It came up on the show today. I love waffles. I usually put whipped cream on my waffles with syrup. I also love putting blueberries in my waffles. I would love his taff Rider sticker. You know what, I'm gonna
get you one. She's like, I have something to say about waffles. Here it is thank you. There, it is very brief. Thank you. Susan made cheddar tree cheddar cheese broccoli chicken noodle soup yesterday. It was so good, and she said, I think I know the reason why. She put a quarter cup extra of salt into the soup in the crockpot. I don't know if she'd like tipped the salt shaker upside down or what, but she said, once it was in there, what could I do?
What are you going to start over again? So it was really good because there was a quarter cup extra of salt. Salty soup of salty, so good. I love salt, but I get salt hangovers now where if I eat too much salt, I wake up and I feel like I have a headache. I get that. It's so weird. It just started recently, so I'm old now. I guess, well, no, you're not.
Well. It's funny because Bailey and I were talking about this earlier. You were talking about how you were showing me a picture of you and I met, you know, like we were at a party or something with the station or something when you were twenty two. Yeah, and You're like, god, look how thin I was. Yeah, Look how great my skin looks. My makeup looked amazing, Like, no, you just weren't old yet,
like that's why. And I told her, and I'll tell you the same thing that one day, when you're fifty two or forty three or whatever, you will look back at pictures of you today and go, damn,
I looked really good. And I didn't know that I looked good because I'll bet you, when you were twenty two in that picture, you probably thought I got a big, old fat ass and I got crows feedby my ugly I saw a picture of myself maybe twenty years ago, and for the first time I know to crow's feet, and I'm like, oh my god, I got crows feet, and I felt really bad that I had crow's feet. And now it's like, I would love to look like I look twenty
years ago. Look at me then, So don't feel bad if you don't like the way you look now, because in ten years you're gonna look like shit exactly. So we'll live it up now, appreciate it now. Okay, I'm gonna skip that one. That is more of a Jonathan Fogel question. We're gonna move down to the ones that I put a little flag on. Here we go. I want to start off by saying I was the kid with the cool bus driver back in elementary school that had the Dave Ryan
in the Morning show playing on the way to school. I'm now thirty one years old. I listen to the show every day Live Minnesota, Goodbye, on the podcast Fallon and Jenny's podcast. I'm still fun and I try to listen to Fallon and Colt when I'm able to. There have been a lot of changes on Katie, but you'd be lately. Some are sad Steve Otina, Fallon Drake, but that's okay. No matter what, the show will
be still be an amazing part of my day. I love hearing all the new people on the show, Bailey vont Aaron and as always, Jonathan Fogel from Fogel Family Law. I've been lucky enough to work with Fallen a few times in my makeup artist hairstylist career back in the day. I did her makeup once again once which was super fun. I also worked in an event at a Veda's Arts and Sciences with Jenny and Tina that said keep up the good work everyone, dart lick and taking your kids to school, hashtag staff
writer, hashtag Jenny in the morning zoo, and hashtag uh right. That's from Tanner, Jay Tanner, j thank you very much. You know, the changes have been frustrating, But the most frustrating part of the changes to me is people thinking there's something nefarious going on in the background. And that's what really pisses me off. Is like people, you know, change, they've sucked and there's been a lot you know, Fallon and then Dre and you know, I mean Steve and then Tina. There's been a lot and
it's been a period of a lot of change over KTWB. But for the most part, we've been really lucky to have the same staff for many years. Most people at most radio stations the entire staff turns over every three years. Sure, here it just doesn't work that way. But what really does bother me is when people think, oh, well, Dave couldn't stand Drake, and so Dave had Drake fired. Not the case. Did you know
that I loaned Drake not too long ago, twenty five hundred dollars. He said, Hey, I need twenty five hundred dollars, and I said, hey, no problem, I will gladly. Maybe not gladly, but I said I will loan you twenty five hundred dollars. You wouldn't do that if I didn't love Drake. I loved Drake. People are like, oh, well Dave couldn't stand Fallen or Fallon couldn't stand Dave, and that's why she
moved to the afternoon. Fuck all that shit. It just really pisses me off, right, also, like you don't have that kind of power. I don't think, No, I really don't. But I also I'm very happy with how well I treat people. I treat people nicer than people treat me. I really do. And I get tired of being nice, nice, nice, and then people kind of stabbing me in the back and and to be nice and then be accused of being an assholes Like, but I'm
not an asshole, and it really is. So if you hear shit about me, just know that I think they're the only people that don't like me are people who are assholes anyway, and they don't like the fact that I probably call them on their bullshit. Sure, so so get out god damage all right, listen, Oh, I know what I was going to think of. This is my question, sure that I was thinking about. On
the way into work. I heard an ad this morning. I was listening to a po podcast and I heard an ad for another podcast that said, hey, join me on my podcast three hours every week. I said, holy fucking hour, snap and assholes. Holy fucking snap and assholes three hours away. Three. So I thought, our podcast is usually about fifteen minutes, yeah, fifteen twenty should we make it longer? And I'm asking you, as you're listening, this is targeted toward you and your lifestyle and your
experience. Would you like the podcast to be longer? Would you like it to be twenty five minutes or even half an hour every day? Because if you want it, we'll make it longer. But we have to have enough content. So if you if you want the podcast to be longer, let me know. If you think fifteen minutes is the right digestible amount of time, then let me know, interesting, three hour seems way too long.
Not doing three hours. Nope, even three hours an hour. That's a sweet spot because an hour's as long as a television episode, or thirty minutes long as a television episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think thirty minutes is probably a good But if you want it longer than fifteen minutes, let me know. Ah right, let's get get it much Sundays. If you tried to Lisagna, it's my favorite. Got to bring up the latest Chumba Casino ad because it's so absurd. I didn't think this company could get
any more annoying. It starts with Ryan Seacrest admitting that he's a fun fanatic. First of all, this guy works like ninety jobs. There's no way he has any time for fun, and if he does, it's not playing fucking Chumba Casino. Next, he explains that on the last recent flight he was on, he looked over the person next to him and it was so crazy they were also playing Chumba Casino. Seacrest, come on, you're trying to tell us something that you were trying to tell us. You're flying commercial
and rubin elbows with lowly commoners. I just don't understand why a gazillionaire like Ryan Seacrest is resorts of doing a fake gass chumpb of casino ad. I roll my eye so hard every time I hear it, which is like ten times every day. Ah right, staff writer Molly, Molly, you know what? You cracked me? The fuck up? Chum but chum but Chumba? Is that how the jingle goes? Yes, it is. It is the most obnoxious because I listen to the show podcast after I'm done to see
if I to analyze how I did. M Oh yeah, yeah, sure yeah. The Chumba casino ads play absolutely constantly, constantly, and it's good. That's how it goes. Chum but chum but Chumba. I feel like I'm missing out. Hey, I'm Ryan Seacres and I love Chumba Casino? Do you Ryan? Do you? No? You don't. I am a fun addict. I'm so fun. I think that is gonna be about it. There are some longer emails and ones that are a little bit outdated, but they go back a couple of weeks, so I'm not gonna I don't
think I'm gonna do those. Let me see if I can do this one. Okay, here's a good one, uh Dave. I planned on going to your book signing Saturday with my almost two year old, but he ended up coming down with hand foot and mouth disease, so we had a day at home watching Blues Clues instead. I just ordered your book on Amazon and I will have to make my way to another event so you can sign it. Also wanted to rant for a hot second about how many illnesses are running
rampant right now. Just since January, We've dealt with an ear infection, then I got strep throat twice back to back. Then I had the worst sinance infection in my life. Then we all had COVID, and now hand foot and mouth has been rough to say the least. Have a great week, rachel Is. I mean, you know, I think it goes back to when it's cold and flu season, everybody's indoors and you're coughing and spreading and touching instead of being outside. Have you ever had hand foot mouth disease?
Don't even know what it is? Oh God, it's awful. It's like kids get it a lot and daycares and things. I had it one time because I was near a kid who had it. It was probably one of the worst pains I've ever felt in my life. My feet itched so bad, and it was when super bas Nicki Minaj is super Baso. Yeah, and I couldn't sleep because that song was stuck in my head and my feet. It's so bad. Anyway, I looked it up and apparently it's
worse than shingles. Oh God. Anyway, So handfot mounta disease, knock on wood. You never get it. It's awful. I've heard of it, but I didn't really know that it was a real thing. I literally thought it might have been like something that people made up. You get like a rash all over your hands, your feet, and inside of your mouth, and mine were just mostly bad on my feet and my feet looked like the bad side of the Phantom of the Opera's face, you know the Phantom.
Yea, yeah, that's what my feet looked like because they were just ravished by handfoot and mouth. Is it? Where do you get it? Is it flying a locker room floor or no? I don't know. I think it's like it's airborne, but it's mostly kids who get it. So yeah, me and me and my ex boyfriend had at the same time because his niece gave it to him. So it was like, how romantic is
this? And it's funny you remember that Nicki Minaj was big, Yeah, cause it was that's let's go to the beach each let's go get away. And that was stuck in my head for the entire night time because I did not sleep one wink because my feet hurt so bad. Oh so it was just like, well they do like ointments. My mom had, Like this probably isn't the right thing, but my mom had this anti anxiety medication that she took and she just gave me one of them. She's like, this
will make you forget that you itch. And it did, and it did. Clonopin maybe that's what it was. Yeah, Okay, it maybe fell fall asleep instantly because I wasn't thinking about my itch anymore. I got it.
I took klonopin for anxiety about twelve ish years ago, and it's so it was so fascinating to me because I would take like a quarter tablet, little tiny tablet, little green thing, and I would take about a quarter of it or a half of it, and I could feel when it kicked in, like the anxiety part of your brain shut off, melts away. It just melted away. Yeah, that was the first day and last time I ever have had it. Probably would do me good sometimes. Yeah,
but you know what I'm not. I'm how do I want to say this. I'm so afraid of becoming addicted to anything. Yeah, I'm not ever gonna say don't take these drugs, but I will always say, at least to myself, don't become addicted because something like klonopin I've heard, is very addictive like alcohol. Because you love the way it makes sure. I guess
that makes sense. Yeah, next one, and we were talking about the party that nobody came to, and it all started with me talking about how I didn't want to do my book signing and not have people show up. You told a very sad story about Mollie. Well, Mollie, I love her, She's so great. Give us a story again in case you missed it. So Molly invited me to her birthday party, probably in six or seventh grade, and it was a slumber party birthday. And when I got
there, like everything was set up. There was like snacks, games to play, like it was, you know, a big sleepover slumber party, and I was the only one who came. No one else showed up, and so we were just kind of like, well, I guess we can just get started doing fun stuff. And so we did fun stuff together and then maybe two or three hours passed and I started to get a stomach ache, so I had to call my mom to come and get me. And I felt so bad because I was the only person who went to her birthday.
But it's fine now we're both we both made it out alive. Well, what what puzzles me is that why did so many people not go to Molly's birthday party? Yeah? I mean did Mollie she was to ask around. She was kind of like a weird girl, but like, so was I. So I mean I was having a great time. But yeah, we were both kind of weird girls. So maybe that's the reason why. I mean, I've never had a birthday I never had a birthday party when I was a kid, so I didn't have the opportunity to have Stop that.
Okay, hold on, we're going to talk about this on the show, but I wanted a little bit. I'm going to write this down right now. Okay, great, your name is Baby is Bailey? Bailey b Ail. Why had a birthday? Ay birth I'm writing it down. My sister had one, just one singular one. Talk to me about why you never had a birthday party? I just never did. I feel like, Okay, I love my mom and my dad, but my parents were divorced. But I love my mom so much. But I think a lot of
birthday parties are put on the parents. Your parents have to plan the birthday party for you and then send out the invites to your little bitty friends and then you know, make it happen. You know, buy all the snacks and all of the games and whatever. And my family never did that. So I've had cake on my birthday with my family. I used to share like birthday time with like my grandpa. We'd go out to dinner with my grandpa. That was like for my birthday. But I never had a birthday
party. Ever. I don't know what to say. I just found this out about you. Well, So when I turned thirty, because that's what I mentioned last week too. When I turned thirty, I was going to throw myself a big birthday party. It was going to be a huge deal, and I was going to say, like dress up, like it's two thousand and two, going to do like fun stuff because I never got to have one when I was a kid. And then it was COVID, so no one came to that birthday party, which was outside and like out a
brewery for ventilation. So all of my plan went down the drain. When is your birthday? September nineteenth? Okay, if you and I still friends in September, you'll throw me a party. We're gonna throw you a motherfucker of a birthday party. Yeah. We're gonna gonna rent out Valley Fair. Yeah, and we're gonna have a like a helicopter drop balloons and a giant cake that sounds dope with like a sailor popping out of it. Hot sailor, a hot sailor, who take it? It sounds fine? Okay.
I wrote that down because I found that so interesting. We I had birthday parties when I was a kid. Small. I never had the giant birthday party, but we would go down to the local ice cream parlor and get cake and sandwiches and play pinball and ski ball and win prizes. And we go to you know, like I don't know, the local pizza place and yeah, I had birthday parties. I never had like, you know, like a huge birthday ranger. Never had a rager. No, yeah,
my sister had one. It was a Spice girl's birthday party. Oh cool. I turned eight, So I was like in that I was invited to that. Well you better have been. Can you imagine stay in your room, Bailey. Let's read this one from somebody who says they had a quick story about a party and nobody came to. I had just transferred to a new college and I'd made fast friends with a group of around eight or ten other transfer students. The fact that we all got along so well right off
the bat was kind of crazy. So I felt really lucky to have so many friends right away. There was always at least a couple of us hanging out here and there studying, and I even dated one for a few months. Lol. As the school year crept into winter and then spring, I noticed I hadn't seen some of them as much, and I'd gotten and had
not gotten text for Facebook messages as often. I just assumed that spring term looked different for them, and they just wanted to figure out, you know, I just wanted to figure out how to get the gang back together again. I used to be a huge NASCAR fan, so I used the first race of the season as an excuse to throw a party in my dorm apartment. Kind of lame, but your girl loves a themed party. I sent
out a Facebook invite and a group text and got busy planning. I had a huge crocpot full of wings, tons of chips, pop pizza, and a few other snacks to make sure I could feed the whole group. I deep cleaned my apartment and I even made a couple of my own decorations. I love a craft every now and then. I was so excited to see my friends again, but sadly, as you already know, nobody came to
the party. Wow. One of my neighbors and her boyfriend stopped by for a few minutes to say hi, but they were on their way to another event. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I think I was being phased out of that group, and nobody ever said anything to me. We did have one random party that I was invited to about six months after my party. I went. I had a pretty good time, but it was kind of awkward and obvious. They didn't want to prioritize hanging out with me
like they had before, to make the longest story short. Now, See the thing about her email is it's long, but it's all relevant to the story, right. I ended up finding a few different friends and stayed close with them through graduation and beyond, so there is a happy ending. It taught me that sometimes you just don't click with people and that's okay, and other times you'll only be friends with people for a little while and that's okay
too. Thanks for reading. Love the show, loved the podcast. I've been a listener for over twenty years and it's been a constant source of comfort, laughter and joy for me. Thanks for all you do. If you have any staff writer stickers left, I would love one, Jenna from Lincoln, Nebraska, and we will send you one. That's very painful, and you sound like you took it really well. That nobody nobody showed up. Yeah, and it's that it was so themed and like so much work was
put into it. That's a bummer. That's a huge bummer. And what a shitty way for your friends to signal to you that they're not really interested anymore, which is also so sad. Like you lost a bunch of friends all at once, like, oh golly, do you think that there was anything Jenna where people said, yeah, Jenna is having a party, don't go? Or are you going to Jenny's Jenna's party? No? Okay, good, I won't either because it sounds deliberate. Yeah, it sounds like
snaky that they that they did not want to come. I think it's really shitty. But anyway, ah, you can come to my birthday party. And now we're going to have a birthday party for Bailey if we still are friends by September, we're gonna have a big motherfucker of a birthday party. Where do you want to go? Where do you want to have it? And if you say, if you say like the Renaissance Festival or something nerdy,
well, Renaissance Festival is cool. It is cool. So but if you say something like a Dungeons and Dragons theme party, I don't need a done. I want it to be like tween tween themed, like you know, like uh Nickelodeon Disney two thousand and two, two thousand and three. I can do Nick Universe, eh. I don't need it to be at like a like a park or anything. It can truly or we could do like Disney Broadway karaoke and just rent out a big old room somewhere and do
cool, fun karaoke. But it has to have a theme. I've had ideas for themed parties and then just never show. They never came through. Well, you have a few months to think about it. So you have like about five months to think about it. Let's see April, May, June, July, August, September. Six months to think about it. And like I said, if you're still friends with us, Bike, then we are going to throw you a motherfucker of a birthday party. You're you're
going to get a tattoo that you don't remember. That sounds great. You're going to be taken to er for alcohol poisoning, oh god, and you're going to get pregnant with a guy from probably Costa Rica. From Costa Rica, Yeah, is he hot? Well of course, well no, it doesn't matter because you're drunk. Well, but you're willing. I'm willing. Is he hot? And that is all we've got for the Minnesota goodbye.
Thank you. Jenna really appreciate that. That was a really touching, very sweet email, and I really appreciate that when our time now is twenty five minutes. So, how did twenty five minutes feel for a podcast length? How long do you want the podcast to be? If you want them fifteen minutes, let me know. If you want it to be longer, let me know, and we'll see what we end up with. So and maybe some will be long and some will be short, but if you want to
try to make them longer, we can try that. That's it. Have a great day. Send your emails to Ryan Show at KDWB dot com. I'll sign up by saying dart lick and right
