Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, Bailey and I were just chit chatting for too
long instead of getting into the Minnesota Goodbye. About dating
and how the expectations that we have feel pretty normal
when it comes to dating, but it feels as though
a lot.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Of people don't really reach those things. Yeah, no, they don't.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Like, for instance, Bailey, if you were seeing someone and
you're on date number like four or five, do you
think that there's a certain point where they should offer
to come pick you up for said date.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
If they're trying to impress you?

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Jenny, Yes, yeah, I would say so. Yeah, it just
kind of does seem like your friend's hanging.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Out exactly, or another scenario and say you're like, hey,
you know, do you want to plan what we're going
to do on Saturday? We have plans to hang out,
let me know what you're thinking you want to do,
and their only options are, well, we could go for
a walk or go to the brewery. Does that feel
like that's like enough effort to you?

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Or I'm going to say no, because that those are
just random things you could come up with in truly
five seconds, and they should maybe spend five minutes maybe
looking some stuff up on Google maps, maybe doing a
Google search. Yeah, hey, highly romantic places to take a
new bow, that's what I.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Agree with, Bailey, I fully agree.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
And things to do walking around and chatting, Yes, take
me to the freakin' zoo, come on, I.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Fully agree with that.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
But anyways, this panagast is not about us. It's in
our dating lives. It is about you and your emails
that you sent us. So we'll jump into this one
that says I was wondering what you all thought about
saying bless you when someone sneezes. It's something I did
not grow up doing, and my family also did not do.
I am religious, but don't feel the need to bless
anyone when they sneeze. I have a friend that I
think it actually, I think is actually offended that I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I refuse.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
I think it sounds so silly when a person sneezes
in fifty people yell bless you and they say I'd
love a staff writer sticker, thanks for making me laugh
every week day. Again, this comes from Jill Bailey.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
What do you think I mean?

Speaker 3 (02:01):
If somebody sneezes and someone doesn't say bless you, I
will be the one person who says it. But I'm
not jumping on it to say bless you. Yeah, And
I mean I like Dave. When Dave sneezes, he sneezes
like fifteen times in a row, and I might say
bless you for the first one, and then for the
second one we just go uh oh, and that's how.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
We yeah, and then I'm like, oh, here we go.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, And like, sneezes in general come in threes usually,
so I'll say bless you for the first one and
then not say anything for people like.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
You and Dave. I swear that's not actually that normal.
I only once I'm done. Usually I know it's in
This is really nerdy.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
But in a frozen short called Frozen Fever, Elsa gets
a cold and she sneezes once and they go it
comes in threes, and then.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
She sneezes two more times.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
So I thought that was normal. I thought it always
came in threes, But I do. I used to sneeze
way more than the average person.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, you and Dave both sneeze quite a bit. Dave
is on a different level like Dave's. Yeah, if it
happens like thirty seconds before we're about to go live,
he gets so mad at himself because he's like, Jenny,
you're gonna have to You're gonna have to take it
over because he knows he's gonna have a fit for
the next like two minutes. So I do say bless you.
I don't really think much of it. I'm not a
very religious human. I just feel like it's something that

(03:14):
I grew up doing and I still do it.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah, So, and it feels weird even if somebody coughs,
like suddenly, I feel like I'm supposed to stay bless you.
I don't know. Yeah, it just seems I don't know
what's the thing I say?

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, thing you do for sure? All right, this one
says hi guys.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Last month, I moved away from my home state for
the first time to Michigan for a job. I was
a graduate student for six years at the University of Minnesota,
and I landed a position at a state university near
Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
When I was a graduate student at the U.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Our office is consisted of cubicles in the attic, so
it is very exciting to have my first quote, real job,
which came with my own office. I saw that other
professors have decorated their door to reflect their personalities or interests,
and it only felt fitting for me to include my
Dave Ryan sticker on my door see attached pictures. She
sends the pictures. I'm not sure how practical of a

(04:05):
question this is, but how have you all made your
space at the station your own?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Your own?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Or is that pretty difficult given it is shared? Well
answer that question first, Truly, I haven't made my space
my own because I don't like clutter, so and I
truly don't have much of a space. I have a
keyboard and a computer in my face, And it is
true that it's a shared studio, so.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Like we have I don't even know.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Sometimes we used to have like some pictures up that
we not even build or I don't know. So truly
we haven't really made I shouldn't say we. Dave has
absolutely made this space his own. Yes, he's got his own,
like things behind where he stands. He's got a bunch
of random things. He's got Dave Ryan dolls, he's got
a Yuku Lelely, he's got a mug that says petty

(04:54):
LaBelle on it aka Dave, and then just tons of games.
But it is shared with Fallon and Colt, So we
do have to be respectful of not making an entire
shrine in the spot that we sit because they.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Also used yeah, they I don't have any of my
own stuff. I mean, I used to work in an office,
like and I had a cubicle, and I would really
go all out with like designing it how I wanted
it so it wouldn't feel like I was like.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Sadly in a cubicle. I just used a lot of color.
I had like a.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Blanket that when it was chilli, and I had Disney things,
and I had pictures of my speech team and of
my family. And I had one of those like diffusers
that lit up too, so it was like a light
and it changed colors. And then I had one of
those like sunset lamps too that looked like it would
project light on the wall and make it look like

(05:46):
it was a sunset. I tried everything to make it
not feel like I was in a cubicle, and it worked.
It was really lovely. But ooh but not here. Not here,
couldn't bring all that stuff in here.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
No, So all right, well, thank you.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
That comes from Marie and Marie, congrats on your new job.
That exciting stat I hope you have a freaking window
in the attic. All right, let's see what else do
we got?

Speaker 2 (06:19):
This says the title is tipping. Let's go there.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
I don't tip when I stand to order or need
to scan a QR code. I do tip when a
brewery bartender is there and can give me a suggestion
and has a personality. So probably this is based off
of font saying that we talked about going to restaurants
scanning QR codes and not even really having a server

(06:44):
help you with anything, and then you're you know.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
You're expected to tip at that.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, And so this person is saying, I don't tip
when I stand to order or need to scan a
QR code.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Bailey, you kind of covered what you do.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
I tip every single time. I don't care. I will
always tip. I have started though, because I go out
a lot, not a lot a lot, but like I
go places a lot, and if I get a drink,
and especially like if it's just like a can and
all they're doing is opening it, I will still tip.
But you know, when they turn the little like square

(07:18):
thing around and it starts at like fifteen percent, twenty
percent whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
I think they usually start at like twenty percent now
most of the time, which is wild.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
But even if they start at ten percent, which is
like the bare minimum that you should tip, sometimes even
ten percent is more money than I would have tipped
if I was paying in cash. Because usually if you
go to a bar, you get a drink and you
give them a dollar as a tip, And so when
they turn the thing around and it says like a
dollar seventy five as the tip, I will go in
and cut the tip just a dollar because that stuff

(07:49):
does add up over time. But like I will always
tip regardless because that is their it's their livelihood. So
a dollar from me for making me a vodka soda,
like here, take a dollar, but I will go out
of my way to custom tip one dollar.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
I agree with that as well.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
I have never been to a restaurant like you guys
have said, where you scan a QR code and nobody's
still like serving you.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Because there's one restaurant I go to in.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Like South Minneapolis that you will like order on the
QR code, but someone still greets you, says hello, get
you your drinks, and then they check in on you
on your food and stuff like that. They don't do
much of the heavy lifting outside of that, which is
just a whole different world from my serving days. Like
I was sweat and constantly when I was in server.
I wish I would have had a fit bit back

(08:34):
then to count my steps. I really do, but so, yeah,
I don't know, And like, for instance, I don't tip
ten I don't always tip a barista at a coffee shop.
I will openly admit that I do usually give like
some loose change, but that could be anywhere from like
a couple of nickels to like three quarters, And so

(08:56):
if I have loose change, I always throw that into
the tip jar.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
But I don't always.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Tip because there's certain places I go to quite often,
and I feel like when I do tip, it's like
kind of more, and so I feel like that kind
of covers the basis. Yeah, yeah, so I don't know,
and I was a server, So I feel bad saying
like I might not necessarily tip at certain things. But
I really I'm not an overtipper because I think a
lot of servers end up being overtippers later in life,

(09:22):
and they even if they're still a server or they're
not anymore, they become an overtipper. I am if it's
like really great service. But I will always tip twenty
percent at places that I do believe deserve like the
tips that they are earning.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
So I always this is the last thing I'll say
on it.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I always give a huge tip when I go to
like Roho and just get chips and salsa, which is free.
They give you the chips and salsa, and then Margarita's.
I'll be like, all I'm having are the chips and
salsas Margarita's, and just keep the chips coming, and I
will tip you generously just for your troubles.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
And also they have to be used to that happening
pretty often there because I mean rip to the Rojo
and West Tim because it's going to be a che chiche.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, under construction. But yeah, all right, well thank you
for that email.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Next one says Heyo, it's Gabe. I love the show.
I visited when Drake and Fallon were on the show.
I happened to be one of Drake's Twitch moderators. But
my main question is how would one get into radio
and what's the process. Also, I missed the Dave calling
h Arbett and hr Talkie trash.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Today we still do it.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
We just we've had some technical difficulties with our h
arbit so we got to figure that out. Also, Drake
is doing good. If you guys are wondering, the photo
below is Dave being creepy. I love the photos. Have
a great rest of the day. So there's a photo
of when Gabe came in to visit us.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Shout out Gabe.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
So how would you get into radio and what's the process?
It's so different from my time because I had an
internship and then stayed connected through that. But Bailey weaseled
their way in by just like being in people's faces around.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
I was just a member of the community and I
listened to the show, and then Dave started to UK
Lately Club and I joined it and then just was
clowny at them. That's pretty I mean, I'm not the
person to ask for how do you get in radio?

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Because here's what I was here.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Here's what I'll say, because I just watched a morning
show hire someone based off of this. They hired someone
who has a pretty decent social media presence and is
active on social media. So I think it's very important
to have a social media presence because what we want
in radio is someone who has a personality, and if
we can already see that on your social media, you

(11:34):
already have a leg up on someone else if there's
an opening. Yeah, if you have no social media presence,
you're not even going to be considered, honestly, because that's
also a huge part of our job too, is you
need to understand social media, you need to do it,
and you need to be active with it, because like
you could hand us a two page resume, but that's.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Not how radio works.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
It used to be called airchecks is how people kind
of were discovered for radio positions in clips of you
doing a talk break or something like that, even if
you'd never been on a radio station, because I put
together like a mock aircheck once back when I was
an intern and like didn't have actual on air clips
of myself, And that's just like not how it is anymore.

(12:14):
It's a lot of like having connections. So connect with
some radio people if you're able to, and then also
just work on your social media. That is my biggest
recommendation and hopefully that can help you out if you're
interested Gabe and getting into radio.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
So thank you.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
For emailing, and one more email for today, hold on,
I got to open up the correct tab, so it says, Hello,
here's a.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Random thought about a bit you used to do back
in the day.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
I remember there was a bit being at a gas
station and you would guess how many gallons of gas
it would take to fill up your car.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
You had to be within one gallon. Then Dave would
pay for your gas.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I remember this now.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Every time I fill up my car, I try to
guess how many gallons will go in, and if I'm
within a gallon, I smile and give myself a pat
on the back.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Haha. Just wanted to share this memory.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
I've been listening for years and want to say thank
you for all the last memories and smiles.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
And this comes from Heather. And so this was.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
During Drake's era on the show, and Drake and I
would go out to gas stations and it was during
a time when, like guess, had gotten really expensive and
so Dave, with his own money, we would go up
to someone and yeah, if they guessed it within a
gallon or two or something, Dave would pay for the guests.
But we had Drake go out in like a cape

(13:32):
with a cape on, and he wore these, so I
had I had a cape from some costume I had,
and then oh my gosh, oh.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Jesus sorry, that was a reminder of something I had
to do.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
And then he had these I had these goggles for
my Burning Man party. What is it when you're in
like they have like spikes coming off of.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
It, and it's from a movie.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
You would know exactly what I'm talking about if I
said it, but it was very much like Burning Man goggles,
like black spikes, Last Punk kind of Yes, it's that vibe,
but there was like a specific movie that you would
know more about the vibe. So he would wear those
goggles and the cape and he would just go up
to people and be like, I'm gassy Man and if

(14:15):
you play this game.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
But I had to go with them because like, can.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
You imagine being at a gas station and Drake coming
up to you and that happening. So I was there
as like the female like protector of the person that
gassy Man is coming.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Up to and so that they wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
But I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure everyone one or
Dave still paid for their gas even if they didn't
get it right. Yeah, because I think we like just
venmoed them money or something like that.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
I don't even know I'm but I've just terrified. Yeah, right,
because we would linger.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
We would get to a gas station early before the
bit and we'd be there for like ten minutes trying
to like scope out someone that seemed like they'd be
up for it and not be like in a rush
to get to work because it's like seven.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Point thirty in the morning or something.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
You know, it's like one of those mornings where you're like,
I'll get gas in the morning, and then all of
a sudden you're like, fuck, I didn't get.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Gas, Like I gotta get gas down and I gotta
get to work.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
So there were there were people who would shut us
down where they're like no, sorry, like I don't want
to play the game. Yeah, so good bit, Heather, I
forgot about that one.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
That was a funny one that we enjoyed. All right,
Well tomorrow it's.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Gonna be Bailey and I and everyone will be back
on Monday. But if you want to send emails in
Ryan Show at katwb dot com and if you have
specific stuff for us to talk about Bailey and I,
let us know.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Thanks for listening.
