And here we go with today's Friday Minnesota. Goodbye you ready, Jenny, I'm ready. I like that intro. Got a lot of emails, and here we go. This is from Mesa and I love that name. It's really cool regarding littering and Jenny's mentioned to high school kids. Confession. Back in my high school days fifteen years ago, we used to throw our alcohol
bottles and cans out the window into a ditch. We didn't want to get throwing them away, get caught throwing them away or recycling since we were underage. I cringe now thinking about that one. Thankfully, I've changed my ways and I've turned to into a responsible thirty five year old adult who recycles and refuses to throw a banana peel out the window. Good yeah, banana PILs. A lot of people think, well, it's biodegradable. Well yeah, how long it takes a degree. I picked up an orange peel on a
walk the other day. Some asshole through an orange peel out the window or you know, on the path or whatever, and it's like, yeah, it'll biodegrade, so will dog shit, But pick it up anyway. Don't know what about an apple core? It throw it away? I only asked that because of the seats in it, So then I was like, but then does it grow an apple tree? No, it's litter. I don't
want to watch it. I want it, I don't do it. I'm just wondering because I feel like that's the only thing I've seen someone in recent years like litter. Otherwise I can't remember seeing someone litter that I've been around. The boy Scouts, we would go on campouts and they would get you know, oranges, and they'd be like, well, can we throw it in the woods And we'd be like no. They're like, well, it'll
bio, it'll degrade whatever. And I'm like no, because the next group that comes through this campsite is going to have to look at your nasty orange peel. You're a boy Scout, you're a you're a responsible kid. Pick it up. There's a trash bag right there. Yeah, don't throw your orange peels, your apple cores, your banana peels out the window. Topic to discuss from Mesa, she says, I'm so disgusted seeing people use paper
plates daily their dinnerware. Seriously, I think it's so lazy and irresponsible to our landfills. Would you agree for me. Paper plates are for parties large gatherings only. Hey, I agree one hundred percent. We never use paper plates. We always you know, yeah, because every time you use a one used paper anything, you throw in the trash right to the landfill. Yes, I completely agree as well. Next one, this is from Kelsey. I was on my way home working thinking about animal names, and this
is just a funny list of animal names. For example, my cat's name is Kidney Spears, and I got a small ball python that I named Dollop because of her size. Growing up, we had animals like Xenia Warrior princess characters. Our Shitsue Wiener dog was Zena, and our cats were Gabriel and Calisto, and our bird was Jockxer. Okay, I had to squint at that one. I've known a couple of cats named tug Boat and Soup. Do you guys have any unique or funny animal names that you can think of.
I have a friend who named her dog Gravy, and I just thought it was such a great name. Break name. My brother names his dogs like Dennis and Alice and like old school adult names. I'm watching a dog named Caper right now, which we watch Caper a lot, so that's a good one. Man. I'm trying to think. I used to work at Cannabury and we did like bulldog Wiener dog races, and some of the names of those dogs are so funny, like Frank for a bulldog. It was
just funny, like Frank, get over. Yeah, you know what I mean. You know it's funny. When I was a kid, or when I was probably twenty or so, my sisters kids they had a black lab named Blackie, and I said, oh, so the kids named the dog. Huh, because kids are not created and they come with a name Blackie. So if you got one, I'd love to hear it. That's funny. Dave and Jenny, they put a little heart sign on there, thank you. This sort of goes off topic of most women having to do the
housework when men grow up not doing and continue not to. This has been something that's coming up on our show the last couple of days. Is like a lot of guys are raised not to do housework, and therefore they leave the microwave of and dirty. They leave their cup of noodles residue in the sink at work. This made me think about men's behavior when they're little kids. Now, let me just be I'm going to preface this, and I
am not here to bash men. I hate male bashing in general because I don't want my boys, who are still you know, they're younger, they're impressionable, to think that men are shit and they should think of themselves as shitty humans. I don't want boys that listen to our show to think growing up that they are shitty humans and they are predisposed to be shit humans. At the same time, I will say men tend to have different tendencies than
women do. For example, I'm going to be on k fan later on today playing password, and so they posted on the kfan x account and they said Dave Ryan's going to be on and somebody said, oh great, sounds like Boom or Paradise, and I it's like and I wrote back, It's like I said, it's always a dude because it because negative nasty comments on social media. If you go to the ktiewb page, they're almost always dudes.
Yeah. Yeah, because you get this too. Yeah. My number one hater that used to leave us talkbacks on iHeart app was always a guy, just like do an impression of the guy that would leave a talkback, yeah, cause Jenny's whore. I'll never forget. I will never forget when we decided to do a bit called finger Friday and finger Friday, remember it was maybe that was it. Maybe it was like fingering Friday, and it
was like when was the last time you got fingered? And we were talking about the bird and so we were giving examples, and then we didn't have time to like load the talkback, so we played one live and the first one was from that guy and he goes, yeah, I bet Jenny's been fingered, and I was like, oh my, all right, Nope,
we can't do these live anymore. I think that, you know, I there is definitely something about guys, and I think some of it is self imposed and some of it is I think a result of guys being told that they're shit all their lives and they're not going to amount to anything, and that they're worthless. So I really make a point not to bash men in general, but I recognize that some guys can be assholes. So let's continue.
I'm a teacher, and I try my darness to avoid the classic move of putting a rowdy boy in the middle of two sweet, well behaved girls in line or in a seating arrangement, so the boy has to be more well behaved. I avoid this now because I think it's bullshit. At such a young age, we are teaching little girls that a boy's bad behavior is their problem to deal with her fix no. Fuck no. I was that sweet, shy little girl, and I hated when a teacher put a braddy
boy next to me because I was good. Not fair for me to deal with that kid or make it my responsibility that he is also behaving. Instead, I find other creative ways to make sure the behavior is handled and no girl has to deal with that shit at a young age. Good for you, at least in my classroom. Girls, a boy's behavior has nothing to do with you, and you have no responsibility to fix it either. Period. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Love you guys, Alison,
Alison, I love that one. I let you know different thought provoking topics. Really love that one. Next one, Dave, I really wish you would share the experience you keep referring to as something that happened to you a few years ago that you had to take anxiety meds for This came up on the show yesterday we were talking about mental health and I talked about how I took klonopin years ago because there was something in my life that I was not
handling. Well, you say it's nothing you're ashamed of, and I've heard you bring it up many times, and I'm curious, of course, but I also wonder if sharing it could help someone else by understanding how you got through it, or even just making them feel more normal. And maybe sharing it would help you too. I bet it'd open up a new world of conversation for the show with a potential positive outcome for the list someday, not anytime soon. I can only say it was something that was not my fault.
I would say probably ten percent my fault, and the rest of it was something that just was completely out of my control. And she goes on to say, I look at you as Dave Ryan's superhero, and nothing rattles you. I for sure have some skeletons in my closet that I absolutely don't want to share, but they are also things I know would help many people if I shared my experience. I'm on the fence as to who or how I would ever share it with and what I'd hope to get out of it.
Someday I'll share because I've been sitting on it for too long. Anyway, just thought, love you guys so much, you know. I think that even without telling the story of what happened, just telling you that I got through it by never ever ever giving up, never given up, never given in. As upsetting as it was, I could never give up and never get And I think there's the lesson is never you know, devolve into a life of like, you know what, these drugs will make me feel
better. I did drink more back then, I think I told you because I would. It would rattle me and I couldn't. You couldn't relax. So I would drink to go to sleep, and then I'd wake up three hours later completely sober and having to pee, get up to pee, and not be able to get back to sleep. Yeah. So but I just never gave up, And I think that's the thing. Never got and distract yourself with healthy things like work out, go for a run, go bowling, take up a hobby, go on vacation, go fly fishing, do
something, but don't sit. Yep. Yeah, I think that getting outdoors, like I don't really know the biological background of this, but I just know that being outdoors is one of like the biggest helps for me. It's just it's so huge, Like I don't know, I when I get anxious, Like, yes, there's times where I want to isolate and I just like sit in my bedroom and I try to take a nap or whatever it
might be. But I know that I'm feeling really antsy, I like try to get out for a walk at least and like force myself to do that. And that's it is such a good idea because again, motion equals emotion. That's one of my favorite phrases. If you're down and you're on the couch and you're like sad or anxious, and you sink a little bit lower into the couch, Now your body is even more sad and more depressed, So you sink a little bit lower into the couch. Pretty soon you're laying
on the couch. Well, then you're going to feel even more down and depressed, So get up and move your body. I really like that one. Motion equals emotion. But there's also one that I brought up on the show a couple of weeks ago. Eat food not too much, mostly plants, and I've really been thinking about that when when I eat lately eat food, of course, not too much mostly plants. Would you say that's you. I'm a meat lover. I am so much. Would say that I
struggle with that. I like, I try to have a high fibrous diet. So yes, I do eat like a lot of broccoli and spinach and stuff. But I don't eat enough plants, that's for sure, and we all don't. I mean, last night, Susan served like air fryer potatoes. It was her turn to cook broccoli and little slices of turkey sausage. And I looked at it and I said, I said, honestly, that
didn't look very good. But it was actually really good. Because I'm going to tell you something, Jenny, when you're hungry, broccoli and asparacus is pretty fucking good, you know, when you're hungry. It's like a saltine is like, oh fuck, good saltine. Yeah, especially when it's cooked nice. What's that? Especially when it's cooked nice. If it's just like the raw broccoli, it's like nah, no, right yeah. But it was like, I don't know the air fryer. She is an ace at
the airfire. Can I tell you I use the word ace instead of master now because master I don't want to trigger anybody and piss him off and go Dave. We don't use the word master anymore because people associate that with slavery, and I think that's a little bit of a stretch because I think that master has been around long way in a different association with slavery. But you
get the association. But there used to be the master of the ship, and you were a master gardener or you're a master you know, tennis player or whatever. But and you can't call the master bedroom in a house anymore the master bedroom, you know, or owners suite. Okay, So I try to avoid using like master with the air fryer. I use the word ace because I don't need to use the word master. And I also don't want somebody who's going to look for something to be pissed off about to say,
oh wait, I found something to be pissed off about. And also if we have people that are triggered by that word, I like them. I don't want them to be like, you know, and I'm not the most politically correct person because I say fuck a lot, well that doesn't make it. You're an idiot. You are? You are an idiot. Is not fair because it's not correct if you're talking about But if I did know a idiot, should I be able to call them a real idiot? I
don't think so. But I don't think that that's political correctness. That's having zero boundaries. That's just saying every thought that comes into your head when you deal with an idiot, and then you call football? What about shitball? You could call me that because I feel like that might be my personality. You know. It's funny. Remember when we used to say, oh, that's so gay, that's gay. Yeah, and nobody does that anymore.
And I still have some friends that are like my age, and then they're like, oh, that's really gay, and I'm like, you can't say that. They're like what, I'm like, you can't say that's so gay anymore. But remember Katie Perry fifteen or so years ago had a song out called that so gay? She did. I don't remember, Yeah, I don't remember that. Yeah, well it wasn't a hit song, but it was on her album. But we just don't say gay anymore, like we
don't say the R word anymore. But twenty years ago, Napoleon dynamites like God, you guys are so our word and we just don't anymore so, but you are still okay. I'll take it. I'll take that one. Stephanie writes in regularly, and she submits the following. I'm on the treadmill doing a cool down after a rough workout. I was two miles in. It speeds six point seven. That's fast. That is pretty good. That's fast. I kid you, not the worst fart STANCHI arises. I'm trying
to breathe through it, but I'm so distracted. I forgot my sweat towel today, of all days. What were you to do with a sweat towel? Put you put it over your nose? Yeah. Maybe let's get back to going six point seven miles an hour on the treadmill. My peak speed, my average speed for years was six miles an hour. That was my target baseline speed. If I wanted to bump it up, I bump it
up to six point five for a quarter mile. Now that I'm no longer thirty eight years old, my base speed is five point five miles an hour. What's your base speed on a treadmill? Mine six point five? Is it really? Yeah? But I like don't when I go on long distance runs, I don't really know what it is because I don't know the mile per hour. But I'm about a nine minute ten second mile. That's really good. Yeah, that's about six and a half or seven maybe miles.
Yeah. Yeah, so I'm around there when I go like, you know, three, four, five, six miles. But if I'm just warming up at the gym for like ten minutes on the treadmill, I'm usually running six point five. It's a guy at my Jim Elliott, who does the Iron Man whatever, and he's probably like six foot two, so he's got the long legs. And I saw him on the treadmill the other day and I'm like, how fast are you going? I didn't say it when he was on there. I didn't want to interrupt. Yeah, I'm like,
how fast were you going? He's like, oh, I was going eleven miles an hour just for a little bit. Eleven miles an hour. I do sprints sometimes in my highest is eleven miles per hour for twenty seconds. Yes, that's fast. So she goes on to talk about farts for a little while, and I'll be honest with you, I'm not going to cover this one because I'm I'm just not going to talk about farts while running. Stephanie, you made me laugh though, and you definitely gave us something to
talk about. She says, what is the worst, unfavorable, most standout moments of the gym or during the workout? I don't really have any. I will tell you one story about the gym. At the gym I work out, there's the front area where they do one on one private lessons, but there's a big giant garage door that opens into the back where they do group lessons, and I'll be honest with you, it's ninety five percent women.
I am very careful to always never look in that part of the gym because I don't want any woman ever to think that I'm gazing at her. I don't want it. I don't want to look back there. I don't want to be accused of looking at somebody. I'm an old white guy, probably the kind of guy that would look at young women working out. I will because I ain't there for that shit. I'm there to get done and
get out of there. I'm not there to look at women. I'm not there to be accused of women looking at women, and I'm not there to fuck around, so but I'm very careful to never look back there, because I number one don't want to be accused, and I number two don't want to make anybody uncomfortable by thinking even for a minute that Dave, Ryan or
any guy was watching them work out. Yeah, I will say that that's probably smart of you, even though it's kind of unfair for you to not even be able to like just like glance around like a normal would look. But there definitely is an older gentleman at one of the gyms I go to that lingers around areas, and after having gone to the gym for a while, I do think he genuinely like as friends with a lot of people.
But for a while he made me a little uncomfortable because he would always be like in the same area, Like I would move from one section to a different section, and then he'd like kind of follow along. But then I realized he is friends with a lot of people in the gym because he's there all the time and around the same time that I would be going, So I felt like I probably was over exaggerating him, like quote unquote following me. But it's just the fact that he was lifting a lot of weights.
He was just always kind of there there, but he was he was a fit person, like he is a fit person, so I know he does lift weights, but he was always just kind of there, not lifting weights. So that's why I was kind of like, what are you doing, buddy, And I I'm aware of that. I think it's also you know, when you say it's unfair, it is unfair that I have to, you know. But at the same time, I am a very respectful person. I have no desire to look at a woman like, you know,
doing burpies. I couldn't give up. I seriously, I'm not there for that. I am there to get it done and leave. I had two women come up to me at the gym yesterday because I'm so hot. Yeah, they're coming in to hit on you. Yeah, I'm getting him a shout out. Laura and Heather came up to me at Soda Jim yesterday and Laura goes, you have two really big fans in the back room. And
I was on the treadmill running at about probably six miles an hour. No, it was on the bike, is like, and I was doing the intervals where I'm like, I'm doing the intervals hard easy heart, easy heart easy, and she comes up during a hard part and she and she said, you have two really big fans in the back room. And I tried to say, oh, come back and say hi, but it must not have come out that way, because I tried to say I'll come back and
say hi. But whatever it sounded like to her must have sounded like go away, because she turned around and walked off. Oh so she probably thought I said something like go back in the back room. I don't know. So after the workout was over, I was sitting there in a chair waiting for her to be done, and I went back and I said hi, and they were very charming and they both love the show and they love you and they love vont and blah blah blah, and so I got a picture
with them. And that was funny that I got approached in the gym, not because I'm hot, but because I'm on a big radio station. And we got our picture taken. And I want you to go to look at this, because here is the video piece of this show. Look at the fucking show on your boy, Dave, Ryan, Go look at it, Jenny, stop avoiding it. Look okay. First of all, I have seen it already. I think I saw it. Will you posted it on Instagram? I posted I'm gonna paint it on my garage door. I'm gonna
get a wrap on my car. I'm gonna buy a bus side billboard with my gun show on there. Oh my god. You know what I mean. When you drive, what's the purpose? You just want to have your biceps like blown up on the only good part of my body. It's the only good part of my body anymore. Nothing else on my body is any good. And it's funny because I went home and it's it's so funny. Susan could not care literally when people say couldn't care less, I mean she
couldn't care less that I have these big muscles on my arm. And so I'm looking at this muscle picture and she barely looks up from her phone. She's like, uh, huh, did you push it up with your other hand? I said no, I did not push it up with my other hand. She's like, it looks like you're pushing it up with the other hand. I said no, I'm pulling my sleeve up so you can see it. But the other woman, Heather, who is on the left, she's a trainer. Oh I could tell. One of them has to be
like a super Ino fitness. She is way into fitness. She's so good. Anyway, that is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. We got to wrap it up. Now go look at that thing on Instagram. Dave, Ryan, KATIEWB have a great weekend. Send your emails to Ryan Show at KADIWB dot com. Thanks for being here.
