All right, it's the Minnesota Goodbye, It's Jenny and Drake again today because Dave was shitting himself. I'm just kidding. He wasn't, actually, but he was about to. I don't know why he thought it was a good idea to come into work before a colonoscopy, because everyone's texted and they're like, Dave, you should not be doing anything but be right next to the
toilet when you're at that point of your prep. So he is so dedicated to the show, like he is never never take sick days, like I know when I told him for my own selfish reasons, I need his ass to take six days because I don't want to get sick. And so I was like, Dave, like a couple of weeks ago, he should have taken a sick day, and he knows he should have. But we also had like a all staff meeting, he had an event that night, and he just was like, I don't want to miss out on all of this
and then like take a sick day and whatever. So I was like, I get it, but I told him in the future, just like, don't feel like you need to come in if you're feeling like shit, stay home. You know. But yeah, So anyways, he is out again today. He made it about halfway through the show and he's like, Jenny, I gotta go, and I was like, I'll see you later. He also asked to use my sweatshirt to clean up his mess he might make in the car on the way home, and I was like, grab some
crozy, grab some paper towel. Boy, you don't need my sweatshirt. So he'll be back tomorrow. Though. All right, let's get into some emails. If you missed it on the Minnesota Goodbye yesterday, Dave decided to clear out all of the emails in our email box because it was starting to get a little bit clustered. And we not clustered cluttered is what I meant to say. We were kind of unsure what we had read what we hadn't because there'd be emails that are open and we're like, we don't know if
we got to this or not. So just a has up on that. But we'll get right into some here. This says, hi, friends, I love you all and consider you some of my friends actually, lol, so much so that I bring your names up in conversation frequently. So here's the funny story showing how frequent it has become. We had my parents over for the Super Bowl on Sunday and a commercial with some cast members of Suits
came on. For context, I don't watch Suits. My dad started talking about the show, and my only way to really was by saying, Dave Ryan loves the show Suits and especially Donna, and my dad casually went on to talk about how much he loves Suits without missing a beat that I just brought up Dave Ryan didn't even bat a lash that I was talking about a local radio DJ loving the same show, because it is so normal for me to bring you up in conversation. Long story short, I should probably start
making more friends outside of you guys. Probably won't, though. I love y'all. That comes from Kyliet Oh, I love that Kylie all right. Next email says I'd like to bring up this topic because it came into my life last year and I haven't really talked much about it with anyone yet. Sorry, it's kind of long email. The topic is being friends with your exes. I was friends with this woman I dated for longer than we actually
dated, but last year. Originally my now wife didn't like our friendships, so she got on my phone one night while I was working and blocked my friend and deleted all our texts. This infuriated me because it wasn't her place to do that, and she said it's me or her, which actually ended up not going either way. I'm sorry, it's a little confusing how you wrote this. A few months later, the friend ended up in a new
relationship, and our text with each other slowly got more scarce. Then one day I actually was able to confirm that she blocked me out of the blue, and we had never talked since because my number is blocked and I'm not on social media, and even if I was, she'd probably have been blocked there too. I guess my question is what's wrong with being friends with x'es?
I don't see anything wrong with it. I mean, I get that we were romantic with each other, but like I said, we were also just friends for a longer amount of time than we were dating, so I don't know. I don't really understand why we can't be friends. Sorry again about the long email, but anyways, Love you guys. Dart lick,
dark lick. Dart lick dark lick. That comes from me, Andrew, So is that like so I guess I am also a little confused with some of the Sorry, Andrew, I think there was some grammatical errors in there, or maybe I read it wrong, but it sounds like you were dating someone. You guys remained friends you then were still texting, and your wife you're now wife, was upset about it and tried to blocker didn't end up blocking her. And then your friend slash your ex got into a relationship and
then that person blocked you. So it sounds like there was no relationship anymore. Maybe I summarized that wrong, but that's what I'm getting from that email.
Well, I mean I feel like the wife is definitely, you know, it has a right to be mad if you're talking with your ex like that, because there could be like think about how many issues have arised by you talking with your ex, Like there's definitely still might be something there, especially if there was, like you know, it wasn't broken off in like a bad way or anything like that. So I mean, I get where the wife is coming from on that side. It's a wife right now,
a golfriend. Yeah, I definitely can see that being an issue. Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you, Andrew, I'm not really on your side with this one. I think that some relationships that were mild and barely anything, that's okay to remain friends with them. I mean I dated half the Twin Cities when I was single, Okay, So like I am still friends with quite a few people' and by dated I mean like probably just hooked
up. But there are like a couple of people who I briefly, like a month long sort of dated and nothing that ever was official that I still remain friends with to this day because it was never like it never became love for me. And so I'm still friends with them and we just like hang out with a lot of the same people, like lots of different friend groups. So but I'm not texting that person, like I think that there is a line with that. Like those people, I'm not texting them consistently.
It's more of a like like one of my friends moved out of town and when he comes back to visit, he'll be like, hey, if you want to grab a coffee, let me know, And every once in a while, sure I do. But like we briefly saw each other for like a month or two and that was it, and we catch up every once in a while, but it's not, uh, we're texting all the time. It's like, uh, we really respect our friendship because we were friends before too, kind of like Andrew was. But for the most part,
no, I mean Andrew. My Andrew is the only really serious relationship that I've ever had. He's had other ones, and I wouldn't be okay with him talking to those other people. So I don't know if you feel differently, You're more than welcome to email us and tell us your thoughts. So we're going to move on to our next email. All right, gotta scroll a little bit because there's some pictures attached to this one. It looks like
you got your Minnesota Goodbye staff Writer sticker. Okay, so has finally decided where to put my prized MN and goodbye stickers. Hold on tight, guys, I'm taking you to Africa with me tomorrow. Oh cool. So the picture is of the sticker on a suitcase, so you can So you're going to Africa. That's awesome. So I want to know where in Africa? Well I might have that answer. Hold on, oh, so, says
my sixteen year old son. Laughed at me because I got stickers for writing into a radio station and he thinks that it is the lamest thing ever, and I'm such an old lady. Then a commercial came on with a white haired lady at the airport or digging for her printed boarding pass and I have never felt so seen as I printed my passes because I don't trust technology for contacts. I'm only thirty six, but I have an old soul. Do you have any old people tendencies? God, I know I probably do,
but I don't want to. I mean, I complain about my back hurting and my body hurting all the time. Ever since I turned thirty. I'm always like, oh my back, I can't I can't walk up these stairs. I gotta take the elevator. I really am trying to think, like, what what kind of tendencies I have? I don't know. I'd have to think about that one. I guarantee you if I spent like today thinking
about it, I probably wouldn't be able to figure it out. I'm not quite at this point yet, but I always it amazed me because my grandma was always up so early, sipping on coffee at like five six in the morning. And I've started to kind of become like that on like, obviously we're in at work at that time during the week, but on weekends I start to get up way earlier than I used to, and I almost like
there's like a guilt in me if I sleep in too late anymore. And so I think that that's kind of one of my old lady tendencies is I'm starting to like get up on the weekends a little earlier. But I don't know, I think that's that's all I can think of right now. This might be one for me. I write a lot of things down, and I feel like, you know, that's a little bit of like an older, older tendency type thing is because you know, I could just write it
down in my notes on my phone. But yeah, I just feel like for me, I like writing it down so that it's like in front of me physically for sure. So I guess I feel like that's a I wouldn't put that as an old person, No, I mean I write everything down to I don't. I think it's much more convenient in certain situations than getting in my phone, and it's in my opinion, it's quicker. I mean, Dave does voice at text all the time, so he'll write his notes
are always like he's talking to his apple watch and like saying something. If he has an idea, he'll talk into his apple watch and do it that way. But yeah, I write a lot of things down too, Okay. She goes on to say, switching gears. I think everyone has at least one strange thing that they eat or way they eat it. What are yours? Like? Things that make people think that you are an are mentally
unstable and they side I you for it? Mine. I drink pickle juice from the jar, And if I ever have leftover ranch on my plate, I grab lettuce off the head. I grab lettuce off the head. Tame in comparison to some of my gal pals one. So it sounds like she puts grabs lettuce and then uses the leftover ranch on her plate. What And then she goes on to say, some of her gal pals one eats raw
potatoes a whole like an apple. Okay, crazy, I have seen people like I think I've seen it on TikTok where someone grabs a potato and just starts eating it like an apple, and another eats the bones. When she eats ribs, aren't bones really thick? On ribs. Just stop immediately stocked. Oh, your friends are wild. I don't think I have any The one weird thing that Andrew this is a constant. This is an almost every other day me for him. He makes this big bull of ramen, like
kind of fancier ramen, not just like your package of ramen. So he makes his big bull of ramen, and then he does peanut butter on a tortilla and either like dips it in sometimes or just eats it alone, but it's always like his side to his ramen is a tortilla with peanut butter wrapped up pia. So that's something he does. Oh, this might be a weird one. I don't think it's weird, but it's so good. If you've never tried this before, we always grew up with like summer sausage,
not salami. We grew up making summer sausage sandwiches and we lathered it and ketchup, and a lot of people think that that's weird, but my sisters and I still eat it all the time to this day. I think my older sisters posted it on her Instagram before and everyone's like, you are strange, So that might be a weird one, but it's super good, so try it if you haven't. Oh my god, the Summersage one doesn't sound that bad, but the tortilla dipping in ramen with peanut butter, and it
is weird wild. He's a weird wild. Do you have any weird things? Uh? Some times I'll do like like a peanut butter and mayo sandwich. Peanut butter and mayo. I feel like I've heard that one before. I've never tried it myself. It's not bad, it's not bad. I got to put onto it like a year ago when when somebody on my stream was like, you need to try this because they say it's like literally what they give for lunch every day. It's what they make and bring to work.
And I was like what. It sounded so gross at first, but then I tried it and I was like, you know, it's like a perfect mixture. But I don't know, it's just they just blend so well together. It's so weird. Have you ever done just mayo on a piece of bread like a piece of white yead? Okay? Because I was gonna say I we did that a little bit growing up. My uncle Mark always did that and so I think I kind of learned that from him and would do that every once in a while. It wasn't like a meal for me,
but every once in a while I do that so good. I don't know a lot us know your weird food combos, we love those, all right. So that and I apologize if I'm going to say your name wrong, but I think it's Alana that comes from Alana, and she is going to be going to Namibia. So it's in southern like not South Africa because that's its own country, but in like the southern parts of oh my gosh, southern parts of Africa. Sorry, guys, Drake and I are both
pretty tired today. And then when Dave left, we were like, oh my gosh, we got a takeover. Great. Maybe probably to go on a really cool vacation. I really, really really want to go to Africa. I would love to go to Cape Town. I know there's a bunch of amazing islands off of the coast of Africa, But the travel to Africa is extreme. You're usually doing in like three layovers at a minimum, and
that's the hard part of if you want to travel internationally. That is the hardest part is if you can handle the travel days because they are brutal. Sometimes. Coming back from Tahiti for us, actually felt a little bit harder than coming back from Thailand, which doesn't seem like it would make sense because the Thailand flight in total was about out twenty one hours and Tahiti was closer to twelve, but it was because we were going what was it back in
time or wait, no, no, I'm confusing it. So Thailand we were twelve hours ahead. Yeah, yeah, Tahiti we were like four hours behind, and it was like that weird four hour difference, and then going forward in time almost messed with us more than like gaining the time back as
we were coming back from Thailand. Yeah, I believe that. I think the longest light I've ever been on is like a six hour flight, Like I think that's that was like probably the longest I've done, so six Yeah, I mean, and that's a decently long flight, like that's it's not like that's short. I'm I it's like I always want to do different trips in the winter than snowboarding because Andrew it's very hard sometimes to convince him to
want to go anywhere else because he loves snowboarding so much. Right, But when we do have a snowboarding trip, I am hyped because it's almost it's not always, but a lot of times it's to Denver, and a Denver flight is the easiest flight ever. It's like an hour and a half in the air, probably two hours two and a half hours total on the plane, and it just feels so simple when everywhere else, like you want to go to the West coast, the East coast, it's going to be at
least a couple hours. So that's always like a nice little easy flight. All right. We have one more email. This comes from Rinita. It says, Hi, guys, can I take a second event about something I've been holding in? Yes, Rinita, you can. So. My husband is super attractive, but over the years he has stopped shaving every day. He literally shaves Sunday night now and that's it for the whole week. I do not like it. Could you imagine if I only shaved once a week?
He could not be a fan of that. He would not be a fan of that. On Valentine's Day, my daughter and I got all dolled up for our dinner dates with my husband, and then he picks us up after work and looks scruffy and like he doesn't care anymore. It's not a look he necessarily desires. I truly think it's laziness because he works very long hours at work and once he's home he doesn't want to do a dang thing. So my husband is super sensitive to criticism. So how can I bring
this up to him so he shaves more? Or do I just deal with it? Also, what has your significant others stopped doing or started doing that just irks you? Thinks rinita make it sexy? Make what sexy? Make it sexy? Just the beard? Yeah, it'd just be like, hey, come here, baby, let me let me shave that beard and then just like you know that that's the right way to go out. Well, yeah goes. You know, it's worth a try. You know, maybe he might surprise him, you get it. It's like it's like a it's
like a mental thing. You got to like get in his head about it. Like if he thinks that it's like a sexy thing, then it'd be like wanted to do it more. You know. Oh you mean when he's shaved. Yeah, okay, I was like what you're saying, his beard is sexy, and she doesn't want him to think that the beard's sexy.
Rinita, I don't have an answer for that. In my opinion, I think that you just have to deal with it, especially if he's working really long hours and he doesn't have the time to and you said that he'd be upset if you didn't shave it like more than once a week. Man, I don't shave for two weeks, and Andrew deals with it. I do not care. I know that not everyone has relationships like that, but I
do not care. He can deal with and he also is like, come over here, my little bear, you know, like he doesn't care. It's I don't know. I will say. Shaving is just I don't know. Imagine female and having to shave your leg. I know it is exhausting. I can't Yeah, I can't even imagine. I have to to just
work with my face. The reason why I don't do it so much is because I have to be like precise with mine, because I have to keep like a line on my head, and if I screw it up even a little bit, then I have to like basically adjust my entire beard and like reshave it, line it up again, and it gets it gets like a lot of work, and I think that's why I I only do mine like once once a week, maybe twice, depending on it, like if I'm going out or something. But yeah, I get it. It's it's it's
sucks, dude. Body hair maintenance is exhausting. It's like you already have to shower and then you have to also maintain your body hair. It's like, let's all just go back to men and women days and let it. I'll just be free and grow and some people do and that's that's great. Yeah, But then they asked what is something that you're significant They Rinita asked, what is something your significant other stopped doing or started doing that just irks
you. Gosh, that's hard. I don't know if it stops or started. The number one thing for me is he leaves Andrew leaves the lights on all the time, and it drives me insane. But that's like, that's just a habit. Yes, he lives the lights on all the time. And I like the first couple of months of living together, I was upset all the time about it, and then I just realized that that is his
personality. And I watch my brother in law do it. And I know that my sisters and I we grew up in a household that we could be in the basement and my mom would be right next to the light switch in the hallway upstairs, and she'd yell at us and make us come upstairs and turn it off instead of her just flipping it off herself. So it's ingrained in us from child that we turn lights off. And I know that it just wasn't how Andrew grew up. So you really learn a lot about how
someone grew up when you start looking with them. You really learn a lot. So all right, thanks for your email, Rinita, and thanks to everyone else. Like I said earlier, send us some new ones because we are clearing out this email box so we are starting over fresh. Send those into ryanshow at katieweb dot com and day will be back tomorrow. Have a great day.
