Starting off Minnesota, Goodbye. Random question from Kelsey. Do you think things like cashee, almond, coconut, et cetera, it should be considered milk? It is such a weird term to me, But what else would we call them? I would love a sticker that is from Kelsey. I don't know. I used to get when I'd go to Caribou. I would get oat milk or almond milk in my coffeecuse that would be good for my belly.
And it didn't do a bit of good. But I do think it's interesting, like we call it almond milk, oat milk, cashoe milk, whatever is it considered milk? It's just like milk. I was gonna say, I thought, so are we Are they asking be calling it like juice or something instead? Is that why he's like milk from cows like just says it's a weird term, But what else could it be? By the way, that's Aaron in the background, high erin and then she wants a sticker,
and I will send out more stickers in a couple of days. I will say I drank milk regularly as a kid. We had six kids in the family. The fridge was always loaded with paper cartons of milk. This is pre jug days. It was loaded with probably a dozen paper cartons of milk because that's what we drank, milk. Yep, we had milk at every meal, well not breakfast. Breakfast we were forced to drink orange juice, and I hated orange juice, so that was always a yeah. I
would drink as much as I could. I take one sip and then I drink the rest and I put it in my mouth and then I go in the bathroom and spit it out in the sink. Like that's how much I hated or juice. But then I had milk at lunch and dinner every meal. Growing up, I like chocolate milk a lot. Do you still drink chocolate milk a lot? Well? I think I developed like a lactose intolerance or something, because in I gotta really I have a funny story for you guys, and I can tell it to you later, but no, I
want to hear it right now. I want to hear it now, right now. Oh my gosh. Okay, So every single lunch, you know, you get your your milk carton or whatever, and I had the worst gas like right after lunch, and I like used to hold it. So you're like in like in like tenth grade, fourth grade? What how old are you? Honestly, I remember it starting in fifth grade, okay, yeah, and I remember like holding it in and then like letting out the biggest part in the bathroom. Yeah, I had to, right, and
it was ridiculous. I remember one particular time it was absolutely insane. But this kept happening, and in high school I was like, I just I don't know what it was like. I just I really felt like I had some sort of like intestinal issue. And then one day I just didn't drink milk because I was just like, I'm just gonna have water to I just didn't feel like drinking it. Yeah, and then the stomach is shoes went away, and then I realized that, Okay, this is probably milk.
So your lactose intolerant is what you found out pretty much. Yeah, but I do love fair Life because I think that's a lactose free milk. Yes, I believe so too. Yeah, So I love fair Life. They're they're like chocolate milk is amazing. I just don't really. The only time I have milk anymore is the only way that I'll eat cake by choice is if I put cake in a bowl and pour milk over it, so it's
swimming in the milk. That's really good. Or with cookies, the Girl Scout cookies, the ones that are the peanut better patties, Oh yeah, those are so good in milk. Other than that, I don't drink milk, except, like you know, in a latte or something. Oh my gosh, I wish I would have known you when I was I was a Girl Scout. Were you a Girl Scout? I was a Girl Scout? Yeah, Dave would have bought thirty five boxes from Yeah, I was one of the top cell I was actually the top seller in my troop for like
three years in a row. Can I tell you, I'm going to ask you something about girl Scouts because there's a lot of girls that they love Girl Scouts. They're into Girl Scouts. But as a person who doesn't really know much about Girl Scouts girl Scouts, I'm gonna make a bold statement. Girl Scouts are two known for cookies. They're two known just for cookies. Because what do we know about boy Scouts? Oh, off the top of your
head, what do you know about boy Scouts? Well, I know that they do like a lot of like survival tactics, and they go out to camps that they have, like specific boy Scout camps, and then like you know, you build a fire, you do all this like you know, not building stuff. And then like eagle Scout is actually like a very respected title. Yeah, Carson's an Eagle Scout. I was not. I was a boy Scout, but I think the difference and I really there's a lot
of girls. Girls can now become boy Scouts because a lot of girls they they want to go rafting, they want to go repelling, they want to go mountain biking, they want to go you know whatever, and girl scouts probably offers all that stuff, but you don't hear about it boy scouts. You hear about the adventure and you see boy Scouts walking through the airport with a bunch of backpacks and they're on the way to you know, the fucking
mountains of like you know, like Kilimanjaro or whatever. And girl Scouts I don't know what they do. I respect them, but they're too well known for cookies. Well yeah, so people say, oh, well what a girl scouts do? Well, they sell cookies. Yeah, Well, I can tell you what they do do, remember it. So a lot of it was you get together and you know, you do certain activities to earn
like a badge. But a lot of it really was like kind of sexist things like learn how to knit or like you know, you do more like community service work. Okay, so imagine it like you know, like pageants and you know kind of like this, like they're known for their kind of you know, community outreach and you know, getting recognized that way. Sure. Yeah, so it was a lot of like almost like building girls up
to get to that stage of like recognition. Okay, but it was a lot of like you know, yeah, you know, uh, volunteer at like an old folks home or and that's wonderful. But it's like that. But yeah, it's it's very It's not what boys did. So I understand why girls are like, no, I want to do it. And there was some things like that that you would do it like girls scout care. Sure, I'm sure there is. No, it's not the recognition that not
the ruggedness that boy scouts get. I think it's probably changed a little bit like over the years. But now did you say this, how like some girls can be in boy Scouts. So maybe that's why they choose to be in boy Scouts. I believe so, because the boy scouts out. Yeah it is called scouts now, yeh, scout scouts. But but it's like more high adventure because the boy Scouts go up to e Lee and they can
go canoeing for about ten days. They go to New Mexico, they go hiking for ten days, they go down to Florida, they go sailing canoeing for ten days. And I think girls, you know, it's not nineteen fifty four anymore. Girls want to do that shit too. Yeah, and I think that's why girls wanted to join boy Scouts. I didn't really have a problem with it. I definitely resisted a little bit because, like,
you know, boys should have their own thing. Yeah, just like when we do girls' night out, it's like fun just to go with the girls and not have that sexual pressure. But it's worked out fine. So we got boys and boys and girls in our troops. Do they not have just boy Scouts and just girl scouts And there's just a middle ground, like there's there's literally it's just called scouts. It is called scouts, but some troops allow or you know, not allow. But some some troops have girls and
some troops don't. Yeah, my troop that I'm not active in anymore, they have boys and girls. And I resisted it first, but then again it's worked out just fine and nobody complains about it. But it's creating a culture that's more accepting and you know, I mean. But then it also has lent, you know, the whole girl Scout cookie thing to just be like girl Scout cookies, you know, like see less about because the boy Scouts do stuff like we throw hatchets at each other and they sell popcorn.
No, they said, they do sell popcorn, but they don't sell that much because the boy Scouts aren't known for a popcorn selling organization. So all right, moving on to the next email. Here we go, Actually, somebody writes in Becky. She says, I wanted to send this again because I don't think I heard you mentioned in the podcast or anything, and I'm
still curious if you can find it, or maybe I missed it. She was talking about the day that we did the I Love Why Don't We contest and the winner called in and said, I love Wyoming, and we actually did. Becky read your email a couple of weeks ago, and I'm sorry you never heard it, but we were not able to find that clip.
I looked everywhere for it because I thought I had it pulled somewhere, and I just could not find it. I'm sorry, Well you tried, all right, next one and the show has shed a lot of light on scammers and in person frauds lately. It sucks hearing stories about people felt so bad they gave one hundred dollars at a grocery store. I did that, or twenty dollars because they randomly texted asking for money. This is the reason those
scams and fake needy people continue to do what they do. They literally need just a few of the tens and hundreds of the people a day to give them free cash, and it's more profitable than a real job. You don't know them anything, whether they are physically asking you or harassing you over the internet or text. This my favorite murder podcast as a saying fuck politeness. You literally owe them nothing and they have no right making you feel guilty or
threatened. You tell them no and that's the end of it. There are services available in most states and cities that assist someone getting groceries or basically like life essentials if they actually need them. Stop enabling these people, please. This is no different than the Nigerian princess people used to send money to, or the fake violinists in the parking lot. The only difference is they are
violating your personal space. Brandon Well said, I was at in Arizona the other day and there's somebody, you know, at the media and at the end of a exit ramp, and they're begging for money. And I don't even make eye contact with him. And if I do, I don't like smile or give him anything. You know, I just don't, right, because I just don't. And here's a guy rolls down his window in the middle lane, whips out a five dollar bill and the guy kind of runs
over to pick up his five dollar bill. The guy looked healthier than me, probably like twenty six years old. He's got a beard, he's got a ball cap on. He looked healthy. And it's like, bitch, I don't want to give you. I'm not going to give you any money. Do you give money to those people? I don't know? And I
am the same way. I avoid eye contact. I was just at Trader Joe's last night, And there was a guy at the parking lot where you're like leaving, and I sat there and he was kind of it's a tight curve at the Saint Louis Park one to get out of the parking lot. Oh, I know what you're talking. Yes, it's awful. And it's
the Trader Joe's Saint Louis Park and the parking lot's a mess. And the guy was right at this corner that like I had to like really go out of my way to avoid eye contact with him because I had to really pay attention to how I was curving out of the lot. And yeah, I which just kind of like I said, I don't give to those people. Yeah, do you give those people? Erin? I really don't. And I mean I don't want to make myself sound like a bad person, but
I think I'm on team Jenny again. Yeah, I don't. I think that there's a lot of other resources. Okay, Yeah, we have more emails. We talk about gratitude on the show once in a while, and this is an email about that one. Kristen Sarrs listening to Dave talk about the lack of thank yous now reminds me of this past Halloween. I always spend a good amount of time and money getting some really unique and fun candy.
Then I sit out on the driveway with a bonfire. I had about forty or fifty kids come by, maybe one or two said trigger treat, and basically no one said thanks. As you said, I don't need something extra, just the appreciation. But it was just frustrating to see thanks guys. Dart lick from Kristin. I'm sorry that you went through that, because I was actually impressed at the number of people that said thank you when I
open the door. And maybe it's just depending on where you live. Maybe the kids in my neighborhood they're just taught to say trick or treat and thank you, and maybe the kids in your neighborhood they're just you know, maybe I don't know. I mean, I don't want to say these little assholes is what. You're a bunch of asses. I'm just kidding. I have no idea where this person lives, but I don't really remember if people said thank you for Halloween candy. But I also we don't get a lot of
tricker treaters. It's only like a few and then Andrew EAT's the rest of the candy. Yeah, that's how Halloween. We get a lot and I love it and I always that's one of my favorite things. I do the door and I have my fog machine and they come up and they ring the doorbell and I hit the fog machine and they always look at it and go, oh wow, that's cool. Or some little kids kind of jump away like they're scared of it. And then I open the door and they almost
always say trick or treat. And if they don't, I figure they're shy. Yeah, you know, because there's some shy kids and usually if they're in a group, they're with their buddies and they're comfortable. So but thank you. Yeah, I got a lot of thank you. So, Kristin, walk around your neighborhood. Tell your neighbors to raise their kids, right. They're a bunch of little lass holes, like jove. That next one, no, that's an advertisement, and this one. It's a weird hodgepodge
of emails today and I'm trying to pick through it. Here we go. Here's one very long time listener since fifth grade, Dave's first year, first time writer. I'm writing response to Sharissa's email about dating younger guys. I started dating a guy fifteen years younger than me three years ago. I am soon to be forty three. He's twenty eight. We now have a one year old. Oh and you know what, she had this baby later in life. She's forty three. There's only been a few times I've actually felt
the difference, but mostly jokingly. I definitely think it can work. Also, in response to the next person's email about being thirty one and just broke up with her boyfriend, I had just accepted the fact that I wasn't going to have kids about a year before I met with my husband. Look at me. Now, you got plenty of time for whatever you want out of life. Oh right, that's all for now, Christine, thank you.
She did not want to write dart Lick. I would love a staff writer sticker if possible, and I will send you one if you ever don't get your staff writer sticker, send me an email because I'm human and it's very possible that I forgot to send it. But about every two weeks I just sit down and try to write them, I say, and sometimes things get lost, if like Dave's on vacation and I try to send him like a picture or an email that we read. And you deserve a staff writer.
But also please don't abuse it. Don't just send Dave an email and be like I. You didn't give me a staff writer stick and you never submitted anything. Nobody's yeh, nobody's really done that that I know of, But I'm happy to send. I'm just happy you listened to the podcast Morning Guys. You may have talked about something similar. Isn't it crazy how many millions of events had to have happened to get you exactly where you are this exact
moment. Let's keep going. My friend and I were talking about this. My mom cheated on my sister's dad. We have different dads with my dad and got pregnant with me. My friend met her now husband through me and probably would have never met him if she didn't know me. They also have kids. I was telling her, good thing, my mom cheated on her ex boyfriend, or you wouldn't have the kids you have now because I would have never been born to introduce them. If that makes sense, It one
hundred percent makes sense. Ye. Not going to say I'm a name because I don't want to call my mom out, so I'm glad I didn't say it. I have a great weekend. She actually wrote this a week ago. I think about that all the time me too. How So specifically with this job, I was, I think about, how had I not gone to the University of Minnesota, I don't think I would be in radio because
I got an radio because I was in the journalism school. We were forced to start a Twitter account for one of my classes because that's when Twitter started. And I saw a tweet by the station saying, you guys were hiring interns. And that's how like my entire radio career started was because I just happened to see a tweet, had been scrolling that day and it was right on my feet at that moment. And had I not seen that, I don't know that I would have ever gotten into radio, like not seeing that
tweet. So I think O that and I think that's really interesting. But you know what I think about also, like, Okay, I'll give Patt Eberts for example, Patt Eberts was my partner on the show with Lee Folswick back in the nineties, and I brought him out here from Phoenix and I hired him for my show. If I hadn't hired him, he would not have met his wife Teresa, they would not have had four kids, and those four kids would not have been born. Extreme Jamie would not have met
his wife Melissa and had three kids if it hadn't been for me. Now, I'm not anything special, and everybody has done. You introduce somebody, it's like, oh, my cousin Greg would love to meet this girl Maggie.
Well you introduce them and they have kids, and then they have kids, and then pretty soon it's like, wow, that would have never happened had it not been for me. And it's not like we did anything special, But you can look back at your life sometimes or stand back and go wow, if it hadn't been for like many many years ago, there would be no Alison and Carson. If the radio station had not sent me to a restaurant and bar to broadcast on the fourth of July where you met Susan.
That's where I met Susan. But somebody who worked at the restaurant and bar agreed to have us broadcast there. And so you never know all the little things you do in life, And that's exactly what this person said. I'll repeat it isn't it crazy? How many millions of events have had to happen, had to have had happened to get you exactly where you are this exact moment. Really interesting? Is Yeah, Okay, We're gonna wrap up
here in a sec. And I'm going to read part of what Liz writes in and the reason I read this and part of it is because it is not my story to tell, but we try to be very transparent. So Liz writes in what is going on with iHeartRadio? The one episode where you guys talked about the day after Steve left was removed before I got to listen to it. And now they have pulled all the Fallon and Zach podcasts, have they? Oh, I didn't know that. Like everything about the show
prior, I did not know that, So I didn't either. So anyway, Liz is like a lot of people who says, well, what happened, There's been some changes in the afternoon and it is not my story to tell. If there was something going on in the morning show, it would be my story to tell. But I'm not going to sit here and tell the story of what's going on in the afternoon show. I support whatever they do with whoever they're doing it with, and I love everybody involved. So
it's not my story to tell. But if anything does happen, like one day of Jenny is suddenly gone, I will say, well, we couldn't take her shit anymore, and we push drop bridge, probably the stone Arch bridge, and I'm thinking what I do is I'd lead you out there and say, oh, Jenny, we're getting staff photos done. Let's get Saint Anthony Falls in the background. Jenny moved closer to the rail, Jenny moved closer to the rail at closer to the rail, and then I push you
over, yeah, exactly. And then I would come in the next day and said I couldn't take her shit anymore. So she's gone. So, like I mean, is that fair, it's not my story to tell. I think that's fair. Okay, But we'll give you the details if you ever see us in public. I just know I actually don't know the answer to the question at all. Well, you know what's funny, We don't
know. We don't know what the details are. And sometimes I don't want to know what the details are as long as people are happy and doing okay, I don't want to know what the details are, but I mean there's certain things I want to know, like, you know, like gossipy things like what does Drake do all day? Like is he hooking up with random guys on Grinder? Dave always thinks this. Dave thinks that Drake like hides all these stories from us. And I can guarantee you the man is on
Twitch all the time. He's streaming on Twitch and he's playing video games. Because my boyfriend every once in a while will like pop onto his Twitch stream and be like, oh, Drake's doing this or whatever. I just think he is always streaming. Okay, well I wish he was out getting some I think that is it for the Minnesota goodbye. Thank you for the emails. Really love that when you send emails in and we get to explore a
topic that we didn't bring up. We just love that. So whether it's spicy or whether you think it's something we will never talk about, we really appreciate that. And Liz, thanks for caring enough to write about something like that. And that's all I can say because I know nothing. Have a great day, Minnesota. Goodbye is Ryan Show at KDWB dot com.
