Speaker 1 (00:00):
So the Minnesota Goodbye Live podcast is going to be
December sixth here at the radio station in the sky room.
We have not figured out a way yet to reserve seats,
but it will be a twenty five dollars donation to
Christmas Wish and we'll have a you know, a fish
bowl or a box if you want to drop more
in there or whatever. I can't take anything but cash.
(00:22):
We cannot put it into an account, so it's going
to be just cash, which we will then give to
Youth Link. So that's what we know. I think the
capacity in there is probably one hundred or so, but
I wanted to be kind of like standing room only.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a good goal to go for.
It'd be great.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We got tables along the back wall for pizza, so
we have pizzas that we'll get. I'll probably have to
pay for the pizzas and they'll we'll do that. Yeah,
and then we'll have pizza. It'll be around noon, so
you can come for lunch, have some pizza, and and
then we'll do the podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Great, fabulous, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
For me Okay, good, okay, good right.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
No, I hope we fill up the space.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And well, we will keep you informed, but if you
want to go set aside or you know, cancel plans
on December sixth at noon. That'll be the Saturday after
the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah right, it's just like a yeah, and it's just
like an hour of your time, please come.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah. Well, well we'll figure out a way to book
the seats. We'll probably just have a spreadsheet and we'll
take people who email in. Don't email in yet because
I won't use those yet, and then you'll get lost
in the shuffle. So probably next week we'll figure out
a way to fill those seats, and then we'd love
to get you down here. I found an email that
I had skipped over a couple of times, so I'm
going back to this one. It was written before Halloween,
(01:47):
so Ashley writes in your show is such a comfort
after listening to Dave on the radio growing up. I
feel so lucky technology has advanced that there are now
many ways to listen before moving out of state, and
I look forward to my notification things when there are
new episodes to listen to. Below are some fun topics
to cover and one question I have. You never know
(02:08):
if you don't shoot your shot. Here we go. What
is the nicest thing a total stranger has done for
you recently? Aw, I don't. I cannot think of anything
other than hold the door open for me or let
me merge into traffic.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I can't think of like recently.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Anytime someone asks me, like, what was the nice thing
that a stranger did for you? I think of back
when I was like in my early twenties. I used
to be really scared of flying, and I was flying
alone and we hit some like insane turbulence and the
guy sitting next to me was just like a I
don't know, guy in his forties, fifties or something, and
he started talking to me very like quietly about where
(02:44):
I was from, about like what I did for a living,
and he was just trying to get me to not
think about the turbulence because I was clearly shaken, clearly shaken.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So that was the nicest thing a stranger ever did
for me?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, that is nice. Next one, had you had any
recent harmless embarrassing moments recently? They say? I ate a
chocolate protein bar in the car between work appointments. Wasn't
until my next interaction with someone they mentioned that my scrubs,
looked like there was something on my butt. There were
chunks of chocolate bars smoothed into my pants in such
(03:18):
a way it looked like I got poopy on them.
A drive home in Silace to think about my day
was warranted after we I think the most recent one
was somehow I was bleeding from my neck at the
fashion fest a year ago. Oh and there was a
big streak of blood that was running down my neck.
(03:39):
And I don't know what that came from. I don't
know if it was like something that burst open on
my face or what. I don't usually have things on
my face that burst open. But I'm walking around probably
an hour, talk to everybody, from Morgan Wolf to Jason
Matheson to all these people, and I had a giant
streak of blood and a perfect stranger. This is probably
(03:59):
the night this thing came up and said, sir, excuse me,
you cut yourself shaving, And I'm like, And I was
talking to Jason Matheson. I was like, am I bleeding?
She's like, oh my god, yes. And there was a
giant streak of blood running down my neck that looked
like somebody like try to slit my throat. So that
was embarrassing. But you know, I think we all, you know,
(04:19):
we all have embarrassing moments here and there. Yeah, do
you have one heartless embarrassing moment?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I mean not that I would really have to like
sit and think about it now, because you've got like
spills and things on the brain. I spilled coffee on
one of my favorite coats last year at the beginning
of the entire like speech season, and I love that
coat so much.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I got it dry cleaned and it didn't come out.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
So now I just walk around with it wearing it
anyway with a giant coffee stain on it, which I'm
sure is embarrassing the more I do it, but I
don't care. I love that coat so much, so I'm
going to continue freaking wearing it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Okay, good period. Next one. Then they asked a question
about Gary Spivee, and it is a little bit more
I'm complicated and not cheery, so we'll move on to
the next one. Here, hope you had a great party.
I hope you have a great party at Mystic Lake.
And this is a letter from the past, and she
(05:12):
sends an adorable picture of her baby, and I appreciate
that thank you, Ashley. Sorry we missed your email for
so long. Let's go to Kayla. Kayla says, I've been
listening since twenty two thousand and five, and The Dave
Ryan Show is a truly, truly, such an important part
(05:33):
of my life. That's twenty years. I listened to the
six am hour of the show, the way to work,
the Minnesota Goodbye on the way home, and then the
seven to nine am hours on the podcast while I
do laundry and chores and yard work. Wow wow, I
love that we get you for four hours of content
a day. I'm a middle school teacher. My best friend,
teacher Mindy, also listens to the show every morning. We
(05:53):
often come in and say, did you hear x y
Z on the show today? I love that we have
next week off. Will we discuss We'd love to visit
you all on Monday, if you'll have us. We know
you don't always trust Randos to be on the air,
so we're not asking for that, although we'd be willing.
We just want to stop by and say hi, if
you have the time. Well, I wrote her back and
I said, yeah, let's set it up.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Heck yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
That that's very flattering that anybody wants to come by
and meet us. Yeah, and we've is not the first
time we've had that happen. I'll give a shout out
to Joe Gonzalez who lives in fucking Turlock, California and
had never been to Minnesota, but he and his wife
came here. What last summer, do you remember, Joe?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, I remember, yeah, Yeah, this past summer he was here.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, and he came by and he's like, did all
the Minnesota things, like did the cherry and the spoon
and I don't know if they went to the state
Fair or what, but he came by and it was
really cool.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So he seemed to like it.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yes, so she's got my text number, send me a
text and Kayla, we will set that up for you
and Mindy would love to have you all right. Next
one was listening to Today's Live show, and today was
encouraging people to donate one dollar for every year they've listened. Well,
I did the math. My total is sixteen years. Might
(07:02):
not seem crazy, but I am twenty seven years old,
meaning I've been listening to Dave for nearly two thirds
of my life. Dropping my favorite memories below, I would
force my dad to listen to War of the Roses
when he drove me to school. I later learned from
my coworkers as an adult that most people had the
reverse experience of their parents making their kids listening to
(07:22):
War of the Roses. In other words, most parents would
listen to the kids would have to listen right who.
I am convinced my dirty sense of humor came from Dave, Lina, Steve,
and Fallon because that was not a thing in my household.
Hashtag herpagana chlamiterrhea. Number four listening to the show when
(07:43):
I studied abroad in Europe to feel close to home.
Number five. I now live in Chicago. I'd listened via
podcast almost every day, so I know nothing about what's
happening in Chicago, but I can tell you that West
End's Rojo is now at Chee Cheese. I love that
it's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That is funny.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You truly have been there for me since I was child,
and thank goodness because it's part of why I am
funny today, says Sarah. And she asked for a staff
writer sticker, and we will mail you one. Shout out
Secretary Brie for taking care of this one.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I always thought that too.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Obviously, I think I think my dad is funny in general,
which is why I'm funny. But if it was just
my dad, I don't think I would be as funny.
So I also credit the show for being partially funny.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Get it from somewhere. I think that my mom was
fun but not necessarily funny. She loved to laugh, She
was fun but not funny. My dad was very quietly funny.
I honestly think I got my sense of humor because
nobody else in my family is really that funny. My
brother is vulgar funny, like he'll make a perverted sex
(08:46):
joke every time I call him, and it's like he
is perverted funny, but he is funny. I think I
got my sense of humor from watching every cartoon, every
sitcom that I could have watched when I was a
kid growing up, and learning how funny works and why
funny is funny.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
So, and now I feel like that I'm not that
I'm like the most hilarious person ever, but.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You're pretty hilarious, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
But when you see something funny or you think or
someone's doing like comedy, stand up or sketch or something,
and you're just like you. They don't understand comedy, but
I do. I understand comedy.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You and I both know somebody who does improv, Yes,
and they really are not funny, but they don't know
they're not funny.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh that's like so many people in improv.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Too, Is that right?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You would think in improv you'd be like, oh, I
know that I'm funny. But it's kind of like somebody
who thinks they can sing, but nobody has ever told
them you can't sing because they don't want to hurt
their feelings. Yeah, but this person that we know is Tip,
and we're not picking on them. They're a wonderful person,
but they're just not funny. And I saw them do
improv one time and I was like uncomfortable because they
(09:56):
were the slowest person in the improv group.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Sure, I mean I do.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I've done improv, and anytime I do like improv practice,
I walk out of that thinking have I ever done
improv in my life? Because clearly not. And I never
think I'm actually all that funny until I actually have
to perform in front of people. If there are people
around that I'm eight thousand times funnier than if I'm
in a someone's living room.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Oh gosh, improv's hard.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Bra Oh, I don't have any doubt that it is.
Next email from Allison, she says, I was just curious.
Did y'all go to Benni Hanna a couple of weeks
ago like you planned you would?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Well, now, remember we were going to go on a
Wednesday at noon, and I called in to make an
appointment with my doctor about my belly because the pain
has gotten sometimes just really not unbearable by any means,
but like so distracting that I can't sit still. I
can't sit, I can't stand. I just it is awful.
(10:52):
I called. The only time they could get me in
was that Wednesday at eleven thirty. So we did not
go to Bennie Hannah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh likely.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So thank you Allison appreciate that query. Yeah, I think so.
I think so. Our buddy, Mike, senior staff writer, writes
in good morning, thanks for bringing fun perspective each morning,
and question, what is the most unique vacation you've ever taken?
(11:20):
And Mike has a story. He's done it twice. He
went to Charlotte, North Carolina and did wood cooked barbecue
over a five day time span. We would go from
gathering all the supplies and doing preparations to cooking three
thousand pounds of meat over two days, sleeping about three
hours each night because we had to feed coals into
the cookers. I would say this was a unique vacation,
(11:42):
and no, I did not get paid. It was done
as a fundraiser. What is your unique vacation? Mine? No
question was going to Japan. Japan was a little bit scary.
It was a little bit intimidating, but it was wonderful.
The food was just crazy different. This culture is crazy different.
The bullet trains are amazing. The polite, quiet society was
(12:05):
something that we're so not used to. And I really
hope they protect their culture over there because it is
a beautiful culture. The last thing they need is a
bunch of loud ass, stupid Americans walking in demanding to
see the manager. Right, exactly, what about you?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Honestly, I don't go on very many vacations. I bet
Jenny has a really good one, but I like go
places in the States. So if it's weird and interesting,
I would probably say, like all of the different, weird
living history museums that I stop at. Like I'll be
if I'm up north somewhere doing something for like work,
(12:40):
and I drive by a sign that says like, hey,
stop here for the logging experience, I'll be.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Like, sure, I'm pulling over now.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I do this logging experience because that's like weird fun stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
But I don't really go very many places.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
But I think that's a good question for if anyone
has one, they can email in a weird unique vacation like.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Roasting meat for a whole vacation.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's hilarious that there's a vacation you can take. And
I want to say, grand Ray, we were up there
ten years or so ago with the station, and there
is like a guitar making week that you can do
at the end of the week you have made a
homemade guitar, or a wood carving week that you can
do where at the end of the week you've learned
(13:22):
to carved. I think that'd be really cool. Get up
in the morning, had your coffee, go get a little breakfast,
then head over to wood carving, had a little lunch,
go back for wood carving in the afternoon, and then
that night you're free to go to dinner with your
new friends or whatever you want to do.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, there's this guy that I follow on TikTok. His
name is Mark Sebastian, I think, and he has this
series that he does called His Great American Gay side
Quests where he just goes. He'll be like in a state,
like you know, northern California or whatever, and he'll stop
at like all of these random side quest spots, Like
(13:59):
I just watched one where he went to this essentially
an amusement park where all you did was operate heavy
machinery and they had all of these different things that
you could do, and then you get to like ride
in all of these huge I don't even know what
they're called, but you know heavy machinery, the big yellow
ones that fix roads and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Sure, and he'll do stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
For every video, he'll just go some random ass place
and I just watching those. I'm just like cool, I'm
going to mark all of these down on my Google
Maps and say, I want to go here, I want
to go here, I want to go here. So mine's
always like the weird side like offshoot road.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah that sounds cool, I want to do I like
that all right next one says, please don't say my name.
I want your opinion on a family situation. My husband
and I built a new home and moved in six
months ago. Naturally, we're really excited. And since they have
had my parents and siblings over as well as his parents.
The two people that have not come yet over is
(14:57):
my husband's sibling and his wife. So everybody's come to
see the new house and fond and ood and aught
over the new house except her husband's brother and his wife.
When they moved into their new house a couple of
years ago, we were there the day after they moved
in to share their excitement, get a house tour, etc.
I guess the worst part about this is it just
(15:17):
adds to the narrative that our lives aren't as exciting, important,
or monumental as is siblings because we don't have kids.
Who am I being too dramatic or did this hurt
your feelings too? No, it would hurt my feelings. We're
not looking for a gift, just family members that are
generally genuinely excited about the milestones happening in our life too.
(15:37):
With or without kids, You guys rock have a great week.
I would be hurt. I would try to figure out
what the reason is it, because is it because they
think you're dull, that you're not important, that you don't
have kids, or maybe they're a little bit jealous. Maybe
they look at you and they go, well, their house
is nicer. I don't want to go there and fawn
(15:57):
over and admit their house is nicer. Maybe that's not
what it is. But I'm gonna guess what. And I
would also say this one God, the ship that bothers us,
I get it. Sometimes you just have to decide to
not let it bother you. Like when I went to
the Paul McCartney concert and they fucked me over. Like
I bought four thousand dollars out of tickets. The place
(16:19):
they sat me was in three hundred dollars seats. So
I went from two thousand dollars seats I paid for.
They fucked it up somehow and they sat me in
three hundred dollars seats. As I sat there, I said,
I am not going to let this ruin the night.
I'm still a little salty about it, but I've decided
that I'm just gonna let it go. So maybe this
(16:40):
is something you can just decide to let it go.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, I think Jenny and I feel the same way
about this, and we talk about it often, and we're
feeling the same way that you do, where you're not
really being celebrated because you haven't reached a specific milestone
like having kids. Jenny and I always go on and
on about it that, like, we don't celebrate women and
outside of getting married and having children, and that's just
(17:03):
our own soapbox that we like to stand on.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But I feel like this is kind of in the
same vein.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Like you've done You've had this great accomplishment and you
want to be recognized for it, and it's not being
recognized and that is frustrating.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
So but I do agree with.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Dave too, where it's like, well, it's frustrating, but I
can either be mad and stay mad or I can
bless and release.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, I think there's things that are certainly worth staying
mad about and being upset that, Yeah, some things are
worth going Hey, you're really pissing me off, and I'm
pissed off and I want to, you know, find out
why you did this, And then there are other things
it's like, you know what, it's just not worth it. Yeah,
(17:46):
so another one. Okay, greetings again, once greetings once again, y'all.
This is from Kyle. First off, Dave, your choice of
a funeral song, fantastic choice. Don't Look back by Boston
Slap so hard it'll break your jaw bone. One of
the greatest songs ever recorded any who. Unpopular opinion, but
(18:07):
I have zero problem with women farting around their partner.
I know there's a stigma that comes with that, but
if my wife were to just rip one like a
dinosaur roar, I'd be like, oh, good one, dear. But
she's like a lot of women, doesn't really fart around
me and is embarrassed if it happens. I will always
tell her not to be It's perfectly fine to let
them loose around me in public. Obviously, we should do
our best to keep the lids on our butts unless
(18:28):
we somehow find ourselves around some drunken frat bros. And
Kyle says, ps, I hope Jenny doesn't get eaten by
a large carnivore in Morocco. Haha. It's so funny because
Alison's little baby is farty. Little Olivia's gassy. She's gassy,
so I'll be holding her and you know, playing with
(18:48):
her arms or legs or whatever, and it's like, yep,
little girls fart too. Look young. Everybody farts. Some people
are more gassy than others, and some people have no shame,
and some people we just you know, it's I don't know.
To me, it's still kind of like it's like somewhat rude,
(19:11):
not rude, but I just I don't know. Whatever suits
you are going to wrap up with this one, let
me click the right box here. This is from Brandon.
Brandon is talking about the live show, and we will
have more updates on the live show on December sixth. So,
like I said, if you want to come stand by,
listen to the podcast every day and we will get
(19:32):
information about how to reserve your spot. It'll probably be
as simple as emailing in and saying, hey, me and
my friend Jessica want to come down save two spots.
So don't do it yet, but we will do that
in the next couple of days, next week for sure
or the week after. Brandon says, I'm excited for a
live show, and I l ol, Dave when you said
the person with one hundred plus people at their wedding
(19:53):
might have spent eight thousand dollars. You can't even get
a mid venue for less than eight thousand dollars on
it its own, with catering and everything else. One hundred
plus people is twenty to thirty thousand minimum. Brandon apparently
knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I do not, but that thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know that's Brandon's experience. Honestly, it sounds like
you could probably do it better than that, But I
have not gotten married in a long time, so I
don't know. All right, Stay tuned for more than Minnesota Goodbye.
Details on the live, live recording, live podcast show, and
if you want to send in an email, Love to
hear from you. Ryan's show at KDIWB dot com
So the Minnesota Goodbye Live podcast is going to be
December sixth here at the radio station in the sky room.
We have not figured out a way yet to reserve seats,
but it will be a twenty five dollars donation to
Christmas Wish and we'll have a you know, a fish
bowl or a box if you want to drop more
in there or whatever. I can't take anything but cash.
(00:22):
We cannot put it into an account, so it's going
to be just cash, which we will then give to
Youth Link. So that's what we know. I think the
capacity in there is probably one hundred or so, but
I wanted to be kind of like standing room only.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a good goal to go for.
It'd be great.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We got tables along the back wall for pizza, so
we have pizzas that we'll get. I'll probably have to
pay for the pizzas and they'll we'll do that. Yeah,
and then we'll have pizza. It'll be around noon, so
you can come for lunch, have some pizza, and and
then we'll do the podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Great, fabulous, I'm here.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
For me Okay, good, okay, good right.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
No, I hope we fill up the space.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And well, we will keep you informed, but if you
want to go set aside or you know, cancel plans
on December sixth at noon. That'll be the Saturday after
the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah right, it's just like a yeah, and it's just
like an hour of your time, please come.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah. Well, well we'll figure out a way to book
the seats. We'll probably just have a spreadsheet and we'll
take people who email in. Don't email in yet because
I won't use those yet, and then you'll get lost
in the shuffle. So probably next week we'll figure out
a way to fill those seats, and then we'd love
to get you down here. I found an email that
I had skipped over a couple of times, so I'm
going back to this one. It was written before Halloween,
(01:47):
so Ashley writes in your show is such a comfort
after listening to Dave on the radio growing up. I
feel so lucky technology has advanced that there are now
many ways to listen before moving out of state, and
I look forward to my notification things when there are
new episodes to listen to. Below are some fun topics
to cover and one question I have. You never know
(02:08):
if you don't shoot your shot. Here we go. What
is the nicest thing a total stranger has done for
you recently? Aw, I don't. I cannot think of anything
other than hold the door open for me or let
me merge into traffic.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I can't think of like recently.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Anytime someone asks me, like, what was the nice thing
that a stranger did for you? I think of back
when I was like in my early twenties. I used
to be really scared of flying, and I was flying
alone and we hit some like insane turbulence and the
guy sitting next to me was just like a I
don't know, guy in his forties, fifties or something, and
he started talking to me very like quietly about where
(02:44):
I was from, about like what I did for a living,
and he was just trying to get me to not
think about the turbulence because I was clearly shaken, clearly shaken.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So that was the nicest thing a stranger ever did
for me?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, that is nice. Next one, had you had any
recent harmless embarrassing moments recently? They say? I ate a
chocolate protein bar in the car between work appointments. Wasn't
until my next interaction with someone they mentioned that my scrubs,
looked like there was something on my butt. There were
chunks of chocolate bars smoothed into my pants in such
(03:18):
a way it looked like I got poopy on them.
A drive home in Silace to think about my day
was warranted after we I think the most recent one
was somehow I was bleeding from my neck at the
fashion fest a year ago. Oh and there was a
big streak of blood that was running down my neck.
(03:39):
And I don't know what that came from. I don't
know if it was like something that burst open on
my face or what. I don't usually have things on
my face that burst open. But I'm walking around probably
an hour, talk to everybody, from Morgan Wolf to Jason
Matheson to all these people, and I had a giant
streak of blood and a perfect stranger. This is probably
(03:59):
the night this thing came up and said, sir, excuse me,
you cut yourself shaving, And I'm like, And I was
talking to Jason Matheson. I was like, am I bleeding?
She's like, oh my god, yes. And there was a
giant streak of blood running down my neck that looked
like somebody like try to slit my throat. So that
was embarrassing. But you know, I think we all, you know,
(04:19):
we all have embarrassing moments here and there. Yeah, do
you have one heartless embarrassing moment?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I mean not that I would really have to like
sit and think about it now, because you've got like
spills and things on the brain. I spilled coffee on
one of my favorite coats last year at the beginning
of the entire like speech season, and I love that
coat so much.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I got it dry cleaned and it didn't come out.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
So now I just walk around with it wearing it
anyway with a giant coffee stain on it, which I'm
sure is embarrassing the more I do it, but I
don't care. I love that coat so much, so I'm
going to continue freaking wearing it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Okay, good period. Next one. Then they asked a question
about Gary Spivee, and it is a little bit more
I'm complicated and not cheery, so we'll move on to
the next one. Here, hope you had a great party.
I hope you have a great party at Mystic Lake.
And this is a letter from the past, and she
(05:12):
sends an adorable picture of her baby, and I appreciate
that thank you, Ashley. Sorry we missed your email for
so long. Let's go to Kayla. Kayla says, I've been
listening since twenty two thousand and five, and The Dave
Ryan Show is a truly, truly, such an important part
(05:33):
of my life. That's twenty years. I listened to the
six am hour of the show, the way to work,
the Minnesota Goodbye on the way home, and then the
seven to nine am hours on the podcast while I
do laundry and chores and yard work. Wow wow, I
love that we get you for four hours of content
a day. I'm a middle school teacher. My best friend,
teacher Mindy, also listens to the show every morning. We
(05:53):
often come in and say, did you hear x y
Z on the show today? I love that we have
next week off. Will we discuss We'd love to visit
you all on Monday, if you'll have us. We know
you don't always trust Randos to be on the air,
so we're not asking for that, although we'd be willing.
We just want to stop by and say hi, if
you have the time. Well, I wrote her back and
I said, yeah, let's set it up.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Heck yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
That that's very flattering that anybody wants to come by
and meet us. Yeah, and we've is not the first
time we've had that happen. I'll give a shout out
to Joe Gonzalez who lives in fucking Turlock, California and
had never been to Minnesota, but he and his wife
came here. What last summer, do you remember, Joe?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, I remember, yeah, Yeah, this past summer he was here.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, and he came by and he's like, did all
the Minnesota things, like did the cherry and the spoon
and I don't know if they went to the state
Fair or what, but he came by and it was
really cool.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
So he seemed to like it.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yes, so she's got my text number, send me a
text and Kayla, we will set that up for you
and Mindy would love to have you all right. Next
one was listening to Today's Live show, and today was
encouraging people to donate one dollar for every year they've listened. Well,
I did the math. My total is sixteen years. Might
(07:02):
not seem crazy, but I am twenty seven years old,
meaning I've been listening to Dave for nearly two thirds
of my life. Dropping my favorite memories below, I would
force my dad to listen to War of the Roses
when he drove me to school. I later learned from
my coworkers as an adult that most people had the
reverse experience of their parents making their kids listening to
(07:22):
War of the Roses. In other words, most parents would
listen to the kids would have to listen right who.
I am convinced my dirty sense of humor came from Dave, Lina, Steve,
and Fallon because that was not a thing in my household.
Hashtag herpagana chlamiterrhea. Number four listening to the show when
(07:43):
I studied abroad in Europe to feel close to home.
Number five. I now live in Chicago. I'd listened via
podcast almost every day, so I know nothing about what's
happening in Chicago, but I can tell you that West
End's Rojo is now at Chee Cheese. I love that
it's funny.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That is funny.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
You truly have been there for me since I was child,
and thank goodness because it's part of why I am
funny today, says Sarah. And she asked for a staff
writer sticker, and we will mail you one. Shout out
Secretary Brie for taking care of this one.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I always thought that too.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Obviously, I think I think my dad is funny in general,
which is why I'm funny. But if it was just
my dad, I don't think I would be as funny.
So I also credit the show for being partially funny.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Get it from somewhere. I think that my mom was
fun but not necessarily funny. She loved to laugh, She
was fun but not funny. My dad was very quietly funny.
I honestly think I got my sense of humor because
nobody else in my family is really that funny. My
brother is vulgar funny, like he'll make a perverted sex
(08:46):
joke every time I call him, and it's like he
is perverted funny, but he is funny. I think I
got my sense of humor from watching every cartoon, every
sitcom that I could have watched when I was a
kid growing up, and learning how funny works and why
funny is funny.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
So, and now I feel like that I'm not that
I'm like the most hilarious person ever, but.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You're pretty hilarious, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
But when you see something funny or you think or
someone's doing like comedy, stand up or sketch or something,
and you're just like you. They don't understand comedy, but
I do. I understand comedy.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You and I both know somebody who does improv, Yes,
and they really are not funny, but they don't know
they're not funny.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh that's like so many people in improv.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Too, Is that right?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You would think in improv you'd be like, oh, I
know that I'm funny. But it's kind of like somebody
who thinks they can sing, but nobody has ever told
them you can't sing because they don't want to hurt
their feelings. Yeah, but this person that we know is Tip,
and we're not picking on them. They're a wonderful person,
but they're just not funny. And I saw them do
improv one time and I was like uncomfortable because they
(09:56):
were the slowest person in the improv group.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Sure, I mean I do.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I've done improv, and anytime I do like improv practice,
I walk out of that thinking have I ever done
improv in my life? Because clearly not. And I never
think I'm actually all that funny until I actually have
to perform in front of people. If there are people
around that I'm eight thousand times funnier than if I'm
in a someone's living room.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Oh gosh, improv's hard.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Bra Oh, I don't have any doubt that it is.
Next email from Allison, she says, I was just curious.
Did y'all go to Benni Hanna a couple of weeks
ago like you planned you would?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Well, now, remember we were going to go on a
Wednesday at noon, and I called in to make an
appointment with my doctor about my belly because the pain
has gotten sometimes just really not unbearable by any means,
but like so distracting that I can't sit still. I
can't sit, I can't stand. I just it is awful.
(10:52):
I called. The only time they could get me in
was that Wednesday at eleven thirty. So we did not
go to Bennie Hannah.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh likely.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So thank you Allison appreciate that query. Yeah, I think so.
I think so. Our buddy, Mike, senior staff writer, writes
in good morning, thanks for bringing fun perspective each morning,
and question, what is the most unique vacation you've ever taken?
(11:20):
And Mike has a story. He's done it twice. He
went to Charlotte, North Carolina and did wood cooked barbecue
over a five day time span. We would go from
gathering all the supplies and doing preparations to cooking three
thousand pounds of meat over two days, sleeping about three
hours each night because we had to feed coals into
the cookers. I would say this was a unique vacation,
(11:42):
and no, I did not get paid. It was done
as a fundraiser. What is your unique vacation? Mine? No
question was going to Japan. Japan was a little bit scary.
It was a little bit intimidating, but it was wonderful.
The food was just crazy different. This culture is crazy different.
The bullet trains are amazing. The polite, quiet society was
(12:05):
something that we're so not used to. And I really
hope they protect their culture over there because it is
a beautiful culture. The last thing they need is a
bunch of loud ass, stupid Americans walking in demanding to
see the manager. Right, exactly, what about you?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Honestly, I don't go on very many vacations. I bet
Jenny has a really good one, but I like go
places in the States. So if it's weird and interesting,
I would probably say, like all of the different, weird
living history museums that I stop at. Like I'll be
if I'm up north somewhere doing something for like work,
(12:40):
and I drive by a sign that says like, hey,
stop here for the logging experience, I'll be.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Like, sure, I'm pulling over now.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I do this logging experience because that's like weird fun stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
But I don't really go very many places.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
But I think that's a good question for if anyone
has one, they can email in a weird unique vacation like.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Roasting meat for a whole vacation.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's hilarious that there's a vacation you can take. And
I want to say, grand Ray, we were up there
ten years or so ago with the station, and there
is like a guitar making week that you can do
at the end of the week you have made a
homemade guitar, or a wood carving week that you can
do where at the end of the week you've learned
(13:22):
to carved. I think that'd be really cool. Get up
in the morning, had your coffee, go get a little breakfast,
then head over to wood carving, had a little lunch,
go back for wood carving in the afternoon, and then
that night you're free to go to dinner with your
new friends or whatever you want to do.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, there's this guy that I follow on TikTok. His
name is Mark Sebastian, I think, and he has this
series that he does called His Great American Gay side
Quests where he just goes. He'll be like in a state,
like you know, northern California or whatever, and he'll stop
at like all of these random side quest spots, Like
(13:59):
I just watched one where he went to this essentially
an amusement park where all you did was operate heavy
machinery and they had all of these different things that
you could do, and then you get to like ride
in all of these huge I don't even know what
they're called, but you know heavy machinery, the big yellow
ones that fix roads and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Sure, and he'll do stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
For every video, he'll just go some random ass place
and I just watching those. I'm just like cool, I'm
going to mark all of these down on my Google
Maps and say, I want to go here, I want
to go here, I want to go here. So mine's
always like the weird side like offshoot road.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah that sounds cool, I want to do I like
that all right next one says, please don't say my name.
I want your opinion on a family situation. My husband
and I built a new home and moved in six
months ago. Naturally, we're really excited. And since they have
had my parents and siblings over as well as his parents.
The two people that have not come yet over is
(14:57):
my husband's sibling and his wife. So everybody's come to
see the new house and fond and ood and aught
over the new house except her husband's brother and his wife.
When they moved into their new house a couple of
years ago, we were there the day after they moved
in to share their excitement, get a house tour, etc.
I guess the worst part about this is it just
(15:17):
adds to the narrative that our lives aren't as exciting, important,
or monumental as is siblings because we don't have kids.
Who am I being too dramatic or did this hurt
your feelings too? No, it would hurt my feelings. We're
not looking for a gift, just family members that are
generally genuinely excited about the milestones happening in our life too.
(15:37):
With or without kids, You guys rock have a great week.
I would be hurt. I would try to figure out
what the reason is it, because is it because they
think you're dull, that you're not important, that you don't
have kids, or maybe they're a little bit jealous. Maybe
they look at you and they go, well, their house
is nicer. I don't want to go there and fawn
(15:57):
over and admit their house is nicer. Maybe that's not
what it is. But I'm gonna guess what. And I
would also say this one God, the ship that bothers us,
I get it. Sometimes you just have to decide to
not let it bother you. Like when I went to
the Paul McCartney concert and they fucked me over. Like
I bought four thousand dollars out of tickets. The place
(16:19):
they sat me was in three hundred dollars seats. So
I went from two thousand dollars seats I paid for.
They fucked it up somehow and they sat me in
three hundred dollars seats. As I sat there, I said,
I am not going to let this ruin the night.
I'm still a little salty about it, but I've decided
that I'm just gonna let it go. So maybe this
(16:40):
is something you can just decide to let it go.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, I think Jenny and I feel the same way
about this, and we talk about it often, and we're
feeling the same way that you do, where you're not
really being celebrated because you haven't reached a specific milestone
like having kids. Jenny and I always go on and
on about it that, like, we don't celebrate women and
outside of getting married and having children, and that's just
(17:03):
our own soapbox that we like to stand on.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But I feel like this is kind of in the
same vein.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Like you've done You've had this great accomplishment and you
want to be recognized for it, and it's not being
recognized and that is frustrating.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
So but I do agree with.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Dave too, where it's like, well, it's frustrating, but I
can either be mad and stay mad or I can
bless and release.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, I think there's things that are certainly worth staying
mad about and being upset that, Yeah, some things are
worth going Hey, you're really pissing me off, and I'm
pissed off and I want to, you know, find out
why you did this, And then there are other things
it's like, you know what, it's just not worth it. Yeah,
(17:46):
so another one. Okay, greetings again, once greetings once again, y'all.
This is from Kyle. First off, Dave, your choice of
a funeral song, fantastic choice. Don't Look back by Boston
Slap so hard it'll break your jaw bone. One of
the greatest songs ever recorded any who. Unpopular opinion, but
(18:07):
I have zero problem with women farting around their partner.
I know there's a stigma that comes with that, but
if my wife were to just rip one like a
dinosaur roar, I'd be like, oh, good one, dear. But
she's like a lot of women, doesn't really fart around
me and is embarrassed if it happens. I will always
tell her not to be It's perfectly fine to let
them loose around me in public. Obviously, we should do
our best to keep the lids on our butts unless
(18:28):
we somehow find ourselves around some drunken frat bros. And
Kyle says, ps, I hope Jenny doesn't get eaten by
a large carnivore in Morocco. Haha. It's so funny because
Alison's little baby is farty. Little Olivia's gassy. She's gassy,
so I'll be holding her and you know, playing with
(18:48):
her arms or legs or whatever, and it's like, yep,
little girls fart too. Look young. Everybody farts. Some people
are more gassy than others, and some people have no shame,
and some people we just you know, it's I don't know.
To me, it's still kind of like it's like somewhat rude,
(19:11):
not rude, but I just I don't know. Whatever suits
you are going to wrap up with this one, let
me click the right box here. This is from Brandon.
Brandon is talking about the live show, and we will
have more updates on the live show on December sixth. So,
like I said, if you want to come stand by,
listen to the podcast every day and we will get
(19:32):
information about how to reserve your spot. It'll probably be
as simple as emailing in and saying, hey, me and
my friend Jessica want to come down save two spots.
So don't do it yet, but we will do that
in the next couple of days, next week for sure
or the week after. Brandon says, I'm excited for a
live show, and I l ol, Dave when you said
the person with one hundred plus people at their wedding
(19:53):
might have spent eight thousand dollars. You can't even get
a mid venue for less than eight thousand dollars on
it its own, with catering and everything else. One hundred
plus people is twenty to thirty thousand minimum. Brandon apparently
knows what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I do not, but that thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know that's Brandon's experience. Honestly, it sounds like
you could probably do it better than that, But I
have not gotten married in a long time, so I
don't know. All right, Stay tuned for more than Minnesota Goodbye.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
