Speaker 1 (00:00):
And here we go with a Minnesota goodbye. With a
lot of quality emails today, so think you've heard much.
This one's from Kelly, and she says, I've been listening
back to past shows. June seventh, somebody asked about donating
or selling their wedding dress. She says she didn't feel
right about donating it, but didn't know about selling it
and wanted to know what to do with it. I
recently heard about donating wedding dresses to a program that
(00:23):
makes outfits for babies that are born with their wings.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yes, I've heard of that.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I don't know what it's called, so you'd have to
look into it. But they make outfits out of the
wedding dresses so the parents don't have to worry about
picking out an outfit for their angels, as most of
the time they don't make regular baby clothes small enough
for them. Just thought i'd leave that out there for
everybody else wondering what they can do, but still still
feel good about it.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yes, I've heard of that too, and I can't remember
where I saw it, and I know I saved it
because I thought it was fascinating. But they it's essentially
kind of like a communion not a communion dress. Baptism dress. Yeah, yeah,
that they make out of wedding dress. It's very sweet.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah. I think if you have a wedding dress and
you're divorced and you have no sentimental value for that dress,
it's like, okay, what can I do with it?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
So now there is an idea. Here's another really cool idea.
And I like this a lot. Britney writes in and says,
anybody wants a real Christmas tree but has limited space
or budget or both. I went to a regular nursery
this year, not one of those pop up Christmas tree places,
and they showed me spruce tops. It looks exactly like
a small Christmas tree. And get this, it was fourteen
(01:31):
ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Wow, what a deal.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
It's about five foot tall, maybe two or three feet
in diameter. She's a little less full than a regular tree.
But I absolutely love this alternative. Just thought I would share.
And she's sent in a picture for reference, and it
is the top of a spruce tree. That's cute and
it's great, and it's like, you know, it's small, but
some that might be exactly what you want.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Huh, Like a person living yeah, or you live by yourself.
You don't have a family. I have a teeny tiny
little tree.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Is a real tree or fake tree?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's a fake tree. I have the one that has
the like the gosh needles are fiber optics, so they
like it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, I really like that one. And it's
fourteen ninety nine. So and the Christmas tree we bought
this year, and we bought it from the Lions Lot
so it goes to a good cause. It was one
hundred and twenty bucks. Crap, it's about an eight foot
tall tree.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Wow, I didn't know. I've never had a real tree,
so I never know. Actually how much those cost.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
They've definitely gone up in price. Yeah, they have next one,
it says a hello, favorite morning show. The topic of
health results test results getting posted to an online portal
rather than coming from your provider has come up twice
on your show, so I wanted to quickly share why
that is, because it's kind of interesting. Previously, test results
(02:48):
needed to be reviewed by your provider before being posted
to your health portal, so your provider could leave comments
or call their patients to tell them the results if
it was bad news. However, people were getting mad because
providers needing to review results obviously adds more time from
when you get testing done to when you see the results.
I cannot remember if legal action was taken by a
(03:09):
patient or regulation changed, but it's now a requirement that
lab results be posted to health portals as soon as
they are reported by the lab, and then providers add
in commentary retroactively. Really great if you rapidly find out
your results are good, but obviously unfortunate to somebody who
founds out they have abnormal results with no explanation from
(03:29):
the doctor. I had a result come back abnormal one time.
It turned out it wasn't a big deal, but because
my doctor didn't review before I received my results, I
freaked out and thought something was horribly wrong. Luckily for me,
my mom is a doctor, so I called her freaking out,
and she said it's nothing bad, and then proceeded to
go on a rant about how annoying this changed regulation
(03:50):
is because it causes stress and upset for people for
no reason. Now I know why it happens, Jenny, I
am so happy you are okay.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Thank you. One thing I missed part of that email
because I just walked in. But one thing I'll say
that was really helpful for me when I was waiting
for test results. Is I just copied everything that was
in my chart and put it into chat GPT, and
I said, can you put this in layman's.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Terms for me now?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And it broke it down to like the most basic
thing to understand what it was. And I could understand
it for the most part. But I wanted that backup
before I heard from my doctorate because my doctor usually
couldn't get to things till like the end of the
day or the next day or whatever. But that might
be helpful for anyone who might be reading a chart
and not fully understanding and like, just paste it into
(04:36):
chat GPT and be like, explain this to me in
simpler terms.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
What a great tool. Next, one all the way from
Arizona says, good morning. I live in Arizona, but I'm
originally from Minnesota, where I still have family. My nephew's
wife and I both loved the Dave Ryan Show, so
when we had a bit when they had a baby,
I had to get her Dave's book. When she received it,
(04:59):
she responded, Dave Ryan book, are you kidding me? I
can't wait to read it to her available now on
Amazon dot Com. I immediately felt connection with her because
of our shared interest in the show. Living in Arizona,
it's hard to find somebody who understands my love for it,
so it's wonderful to have somebody to share that with
here in Arizona. Whenever I mentioned Dave Jenny Vont Bailey,
(05:20):
people look at me and go who followed by, Oh yeah,
your BFFs who don't even know you exist? Oh gee, wow,
that's cruel. I know everybody says this, but your show
has had a huge impact on my life. I've been
a P one listener since Dave started in Minnesota in
the nineties. Your show has been a constant source of joy, laughter,
(05:41):
and comfort for me. Your humor and genuine connection brighten
my world and make each morning more bearable. You're always
you always managed to lift my spirits and put a
smile on my face even on tough days. Dave, you
are truly amazing. When I grow up, I want to
be like Jenny, even though I'm much older than she is.
(06:02):
You are an incredibly impressive woman, Bailey. Your positive spirit
and energy are truly inspirational. Vaunt. I have children your
age and I hope they can be as successful as
you one day. I apologize for the link of this message.
It's challenging to be brief when there's so much to say.
Thank you for everything you do, Nikki that I love
that so much, And I will only say that it
(06:23):
goes both ways because I feel such a connection with
people who feel connected to this show that it really
is not a one way street. And when your friend says, oh, yeah,
you're BFFs who don't even know you exist, we are
critically aware that you exist. Even if we've never met
or spoken to you. We are critically aware.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I think about you before I go to bed. Yeah,
critically aware, and I go she's listening.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So no, seriously, I think, you know. Sometimes I think
it's why I love doing radio so much, because I
feel like I belong. I feel like I have a purpose,
you know what I mean. And so thank you because
you are critically important to us. Next one, this came up,
and I just wanted to kind of acknowledge this one.
(07:12):
Vaunt about the right turn on Red was a pretty
controversial thing on Reddit, and they sent me a link
and we talked about this at length on Monday, where
says Vont KWB said something so dumb. I cannot even
listen to their show anymore. I don't turn right on
red get over it be late. You should have been
(07:32):
in front of me. Then it's just one listener, but
I can't listen to his voice after hearing that. Thanks
for coming to my Ted Talk. I'll be sticking to
ninety three X in ninety four point five exclusively. Now,
Vont got a ton of reaction on Reddit, and a
lot of people were really annoyed with him, But we
just thought it was kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That's the whole point of the bit on, not the bit,
but hit that segment. He's supposed to stir the pot,
and so he clearly did.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
He did, and I think that he was kind of
poking the bear. I don't know that he really believes that,
but Bunt is good at saying something that'll just pish off.
Kenda writes in Southern Minnesota, p one listener, Hello, my peeps,
I wanted to send an email to discuss some Christmas
ideas with you guys. First, let's discuss favorite Christmas songs
and least favorite Christmas songs. My favorite would be Carol
(08:19):
of the Bells, and least favorite would be Wham's Last Christmas.
I'd be interested to hear all of yours. I know
Dave is going to say sleigh Ride for his favorite,
which he is overdue for to play and on the
Morning show before Christmas break, So yeah, sleigh Ride. I'd
say my least favorite is hmmm, probably rocking around the
(08:44):
Christmas Tree. I don't know if I've just heard it
enough times, but if I thought about it longer, I'd
probably come up with something worse.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I like the Scrooge song from them up at Christmas Carol,
and I also like Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Oh that's pretty yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But my least favorite Christmas songs, and this is where
I feel the most vehemently, is simply having a wonderful
Christmas time. Oh I hate that song and War is Over?
I hate that song, okay, And so two Beatles have
the worst Christmas.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Song Good Bad Choices Ah, so terrible.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I hate both those songs instant change the channel the
second they come on.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Jenny, I don't know that I really dislike any songs.
I like ones that have words, and no more so
than they're just instrumental but I do. However, I also
like trans Hiberian Orchestra, so I feel like I'm up
in the air. But favorite songs I love. Christina Aguilera's
like entire Christmas album Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday or no,
what's is that?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Mary christinc One? Yeah, yeah, Marry Christmas, Habby Holidays?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Hey blank? First Christmas are probably my favorite ones?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So good? Oh the in sync one right happy? Yeah,
we haven't played that one yet either. Second if from
Kendra is another idea, if it's not too personal, could
you please make a reel of you all sharing your
Christmas trees and your favorite ornaments and what some of
them mean or if they have special meaning behind them.
I feel like Bailey would have something crazy on her
(10:04):
Christmas tree. Well I don't really have.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I mean, I have a tree, but it's small, and
I don't really have like ornaments to put on it.
My mom saved an ornament every year for me and
my sister growing up, and she's like, Okay, now you'll
have ornaments when you get your very own tree and
your very own house with your family or whatever. And
I don't have a family, and I don't have a house,
so I don't have a large tree, so I have
a big box of ornaments that don't fit on my
(10:29):
tidy tree. So I feel like I am gonna disappoint
you there. But I do have a ceramic cat that
has a Christmas tree that's growing out of its head,
and I just thought that was funny, so I bought it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Okay, that's cute. Yeahah, anything Jenny come to mind.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I don't know that I have anything sentimental, but when
we put up our tree this year, Andrew and I
both were like, well, which one's your favorite ornament? And
it was just this one that's beautiful that my mom
got me. There's not really, okay, anything like super crazy
story behind it, but it's just a really pretty ornament
that I think stands out of against all the other ones.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
We've got kids, so we've got so many handmade little
kid ornaments with their pictures in them, and we've kept
every single one of them. But my favorite is one
I've had for thirty years, and it's a little old
fashioned radio with a cat rubbing up against it affectionately,
and you push them it plugs into a lamp like
a light bulb socket, and it says something like it's
(11:25):
a radio announcer and it says something like this, just
in Santa has been spotted overhead listen for Reindeer on
the roof and I just love it and it lights
up and I can't get it to work this year
because it won't fit into the light socket because I
think light sockets have changed. I don't know, but yeah,
maybe we can make a reel of all of our
(11:45):
Somebody remember that. Write it down, Jenny, write it down.
Thank you for bringing me joy every single day. And
Merry Christmas to all, and have a good holiday break.
Thank you, Kendra. Next one, uh oh, Sydney's been on Reddit.
Sorry Jenny, that's how it starts.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Good morning. This morning, I had a chance to scroll
through Reddit. Found a question I thought you might find interesting.
I had so much fun reading everybody's answers, came up
with a few of my own. Curious, if you have
any thoughts? What were you denied as a child that
you now indulge in as an adult? A few of
mine perfume, scented lotions, and body spray. My mom was
always sensitive to smell, so none of these were allowed.
(12:25):
As a team. I vividly remember my mom searching through
my room and car as if she was looking for drugs,
when she was really trying to find my contraband body
sprays and highly scented lotions. Now, as an adult, I
have an entire cupboard full of them, partly to use
and partly just because I can. Anybody have anything that
(12:46):
you were not allowed to have when you were a.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Kid, snacks in general, snacks. I we lived in an
ingredient household, and so if we were hungry, my mom
would be like, you can make yourself a salad, and
we like, no, I don't want a salad, so we
have like carrots. We would have like lettuce, and then
maybe things to make, like if we wanted to make cookies,
but then you'd have to like make the cookies. So
(13:08):
everything was an ingredient. Nothing was a snack. So now
I can have snacks.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I can't really think of anything. I think any yeah,
good snacks, because we didn't have good snacks as a kid.
It was either I remember one time for a snack,
and this is not uncommon, you would sprinkle some salt
into the left palm of your hand and then lick
a toothpick with the right one, and then dip it
into the salt, and that was a snack. And I'm
not making this up.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's so depressing.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, this during the Depression. It was during the Great Depression.
We were actually on the Oregon Trail.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, and yeah, and then my brother died of cholera colera.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, well at least it wasn't dysentery.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
And we had to shoot oxen.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, you had to shoot them.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Where was I going, Jenny? Did you have anything that
you were denied as a kid that now you indulge
in because you can.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I think it's just the matter of like everything about
my daily life, Like I stay up until I want to,
I'm a truck bedtime, I eat whenever I want. Like
it was always like we eat at this time and
this time and this time with my mom and I Also,
I would say probably watching TV in bed, because we
do have a TV in our bedroom that we used
(14:14):
to like never watch, but now we binge watch Survivor.
So sometimes we'll watch an episode before bed. But that's
about it.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
She goes on to say another one we indulge in
now is drinks, any kind of drinks. We were a
strict milk and water household, and I can't drink milk,
so it was just water. I still love me some water,
but I also indulge in flavored water packets of a
wide variety, coffee, hot chocolate, juices, coke, teaese, lemonade, and
the list goes on, wondering if you guys have any
thoughts what were you denied as a child that you
(14:43):
indulge in as an adult? All right, from Sydney, G Sydney.
That was a fun one.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, yeah, if you got any other answers, then let
us know. Hit the lead on that one and let see.
We do have a rant from Juanita, but I want
to check my time to see how we're doing, and
we are about at fifteen minutes, so I'm going to
save Juanita's rant for tomorrow because that's always worth waiting for. Juanita,
you are a joy. Thank you so much for doing that,
(15:14):
and I think that is going to do it for now.
Yes on the Minnesota goodbye. Send your emails in to
ryanshow at katiwb dot com. I love when you bring
up random topics. Thanks for giving us so that's why
we call you a staff writer. Because if you come
up with something like what you were denied when you
were a kid that you indulge in now, please let
(15:34):
us know. Or if we get something wrong or we
bring up something and you want to tell us what
it is really all about, like the health charts online,
then let us know. Ryanshow at KDIWB dot com
And here we go with a Minnesota goodbye. With a
lot of quality emails today, so think you've heard much.

but hit that segment. He's supposed to stir the pot,
and so he clearly did.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
He did, and I think that he was kind of
poking the bear. I don't know that he really believes that,
but Bunt is good at saying something that'll just pish off.
Kenda writes in Southern Minnesota, p one listener, Hello, my peeps,
I wanted to send an email to discuss some Christmas
ideas with you guys. First, let's discuss favorite Christmas songs
and least favorite Christmas songs. My favorite would be Carol
(08:19):
of the Bells, and least favorite would be Wham's Last Christmas.
I'd be interested to hear all of yours. I know
Dave is going to say sleigh Ride for his favorite,
which he is overdue for to play and on the
Morning show before Christmas break, So yeah, sleigh Ride. I'd
say my least favorite is hmmm, probably rocking around the
(08:44):
Christmas Tree. I don't know if I've just heard it
enough times, but if I thought about it longer, I'd
probably come up with something worse.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
I like the Scrooge song from them up at Christmas Carol,
and I also like Merry Christmas Darling by the Carpenters.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Oh that's pretty yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But my least favorite Christmas songs, and this is where
I feel the most vehemently, is simply having a wonderful
Christmas time. Oh I hate that song and War is Over?
I hate that song, okay, And so two Beatles have
the worst Christmas.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Song Good Bad Choices Ah, so terrible.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I hate both those songs instant change the channel the
second they come on.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Jenny, I don't know that I really dislike any songs.
I like ones that have words, and no more so
than they're just instrumental but I do. However, I also
like trans Hiberian Orchestra, so I feel like I'm up
in the air. But favorite songs I love. Christina Aguilera's
like entire Christmas album Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday or no,
what's is that?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Mary christinc One? Yeah, yeah, Marry Christmas, Habby Holidays?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Hey blank? First Christmas are probably my favorite ones?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
So good? Oh the in sync one right happy? Yeah,
we haven't played that one yet either. Second if from
Kendra is another idea, if it's not too personal, could
you please make a reel of you all sharing your
Christmas trees and your favorite ornaments and what some of
them mean or if they have special meaning behind them.
I feel like Bailey would have something crazy on her
(10:04):
Christmas tree. Well I don't really have.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I mean, I have a tree, but it's small, and
I don't really have like ornaments to put on it.
My mom saved an ornament every year for me and
my sister growing up, and she's like, Okay, now you'll
have ornaments when you get your very own tree and
your very own house with your family or whatever. And
I don't have a family, and I don't have a house,
so I don't have a large tree, so I have
a big box of ornaments that don't fit on my
(10:29):
tidy tree. So I feel like I am gonna disappoint
you there. But I do have a ceramic cat that
has a Christmas tree that's growing out of its head,
and I just thought that was funny, so I bought it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Okay, that's cute. Yeahah, anything Jenny come to mind.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I don't know that I have anything sentimental, but when
we put up our tree this year, Andrew and I
both were like, well, which one's your favorite ornament? And
it was just this one that's beautiful that my mom
got me. There's not really, okay, anything like super crazy
story behind it, but it's just a really pretty ornament
that I think stands out of against all the other ones.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
We've got kids, so we've got so many handmade little
kid ornaments with their pictures in them, and we've kept
every single one of them. But my favorite is one
I've had for thirty years, and it's a little old
fashioned radio with a cat rubbing up against it affectionately,
and you push them it plugs into a lamp like
a light bulb socket, and it says something like it's
(11:25):
a radio announcer and it says something like this, just
in Santa has been spotted overhead listen for Reindeer on
the roof and I just love it and it lights
up and I can't get it to work this year
because it won't fit into the light socket because I
think light sockets have changed. I don't know, but yeah,
maybe we can make a reel of all of our
(11:45):
Somebody remember that. Write it down, Jenny, write it down.
Thank you for bringing me joy every single day. And
Merry Christmas to all, and have a good holiday break.
Thank you, Kendra. Next one, uh oh, Sydney's been on Reddit.
Sorry Jenny, that's how it starts.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Good morning. This morning, I had a chance to scroll
through Reddit. Found a question I thought you might find interesting.
I had so much fun reading everybody's answers, came up
with a few of my own. Curious, if you have
any thoughts? What were you denied as a child that
you now indulge in as an adult? A few of
mine perfume, scented lotions, and body spray. My mom was
always sensitive to smell, so none of these were allowed.
(12:25):
As a team. I vividly remember my mom searching through
my room and car as if she was looking for drugs,
when she was really trying to find my contraband body
sprays and highly scented lotions. Now, as an adult, I
have an entire cupboard full of them, partly to use
and partly just because I can. Anybody have anything that
(12:46):
you were not allowed to have when you were a.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Kid, snacks in general, snacks. I we lived in an
ingredient household, and so if we were hungry, my mom
would be like, you can make yourself a salad, and
we like, no, I don't want a salad, so we
have like carrots. We would have like lettuce, and then
maybe things to make, like if we wanted to make cookies,
but then you'd have to like make the cookies. So
(13:08):
everything was an ingredient. Nothing was a snack. So now
I can have snacks.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I can't really think of anything. I think any yeah,
good snacks, because we didn't have good snacks as a kid.
It was either I remember one time for a snack,
and this is not uncommon, you would sprinkle some salt
into the left palm of your hand and then lick
a toothpick with the right one, and then dip it
into the salt, and that was a snack. And I'm
not making this up.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
That's so depressing.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, this during the Depression. It was during the Great Depression.
We were actually on the Oregon Trail.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, and yeah, and then my brother died of cholera colera.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, well at least it wasn't dysentery.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
And we had to shoot oxen.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, you had to shoot them.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Where was I going, Jenny? Did you have anything that
you were denied as a kid that now you indulge
in because you can.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I think it's just the matter of like everything about
my daily life, Like I stay up until I want to,
I'm a truck bedtime, I eat whenever I want. Like
it was always like we eat at this time and
this time and this time with my mom and I Also,
I would say probably watching TV in bed, because we
do have a TV in our bedroom that we used
(14:14):
to like never watch, but now we binge watch Survivor.
So sometimes we'll watch an episode before bed. But that's
about it.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
She goes on to say another one we indulge in
now is drinks, any kind of drinks. We were a
strict milk and water household, and I can't drink milk,
so it was just water. I still love me some water,
but I also indulge in flavored water packets of a
wide variety, coffee, hot chocolate, juices, coke, teaese, lemonade, and
the list goes on, wondering if you guys have any
thoughts what were you denied as a child that you
(14:43):
indulge in as an adult? All right, from Sydney, G Sydney.
That was a fun one.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, yeah, if you got any other answers, then let
us know. Hit the lead on that one and let see.
We do have a rant from Juanita, but I want
to check my time to see how we're doing, and
we are about at fifteen minutes, so I'm going to
save Juanita's rant for tomorrow because that's always worth waiting for. Juanita,
you are a joy. Thank you so much for doing that,
(15:14):
and I think that is going to do it for now.
Yes on the Minnesota goodbye. Send your emails in to
ryanshow at katiwb dot com. I love when you bring
up random topics. Thanks for giving us so that's why
we call you a staff writer. Because if you come
up with something like what you were denied when you
were a kid that you indulge in now, please let
(15:34):
us know. Or if we get something wrong or we
bring up something and you want to tell us what
it is really all about, like the health charts online,
then let us know. Ryanshow at KDIWB dot com
