Speaker 1 (00:00):
I promise to start the Minnesota Goodbye, or at least
tell the story in the Minnesota Goodbye about how I
got into it like a wee bit of a trouble
at the air Force football game. So I'm at the
air Force football game. I went by my I was
in Colorado and it was Saturday, and I had nothing
to do. And I love college football. There's I love
it so much more than pro football. The atmosphere is
just better, and the fans are better, and it's just fun.
(00:21):
It's just I don't know, just love the atmosphere. So
it's a beautiful Saturday afternoon and at Falcon Stadium, which
is you know, I mean it's a small ish football stadium.
And I notice on the roof of the scoreboard there
is a sniper with a rifle. Okay, okay, And and
(00:41):
they had the rifle covered up so it wouldn't frighten people,
but you know, I know what a rifle looks like,
and they have it out there for public safety, so
in case some Yahoo starts, you know, shooting up the
place or whatever, they're going to be able to take
him out. So I'm looking up and I had binoculars
because I'm a sorts fan, and I'm the nerdy guy
that carries around binoculars at a football game. And so
(01:04):
I'm looking at this sniper and their team and there's
like four or five of them up on the roof,
and I'm watching the sniper and looking at the rifle
and I'm just looking at it because I'm curious. One
of them notices me looking up at the sniper rifle
and they must have thought, why is that fucking weirdo
(01:24):
looking up at us? Yeah, so one of them elbows
the other one. Pretty soon they're all looking at me. Oh,
I'm looking at them looking at me. I'm looking at
them with binoculars. And then I thought, oh, I wonder
if I shouldn't be doing this because they're giving me
a look like that, like, what's this guy doing? It's suspicious.
So did I get in trouble?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I was gonna say, did someone approach you about it?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I kind of expect that. I mean, I oversold the
story a little bit. I beer honest with you, which
I tend to do, but I was expecting somebody to
come up and say, hey, excuse me, can I see
your ID? And I would have had no problem with
that because I got nothing to hide. I'm not going
to be one of those people like you see on
videos going No, I'm not going to show you my RD.
So anyway, the guy, he'd take a swing at him.
(02:09):
Here's your fucking rifle. Yeah, so, anyway, if you ever
see a sniper rifle somewhere, don't pull out your binoculars
and look. I guess that's all right. Ont of the emails,
did what did I missed last week on the Minnesota Goodbye?
Anything really interesting come up that? Because a lot of
the time you guys talk about something spicy.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No, we didn't have any spicy ones last week. I
don't think.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Let me see. Let's see this one's called who Farted Rakeovic?
Cookie Crumbles? Yeah No, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Okay, that exciting. I'm sure we had some fantastic emails.
I just can't think of anything that was super over
the top. Well, nothing about pussy stacks.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Oh my god, we saw that woman at the fair.
You remember her?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I know, I do remember. I didn't know if you
guys talked about it because I was gone the next day.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We forgot about that, and I kind of remember a
little bit. But she was talking about a threesome she
had and describe because I feel.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
A little bit unep having a threesome, and I basically
I think she or the other woman was on top
of let's say she was on top of the other woman,
so like in missionary and so she called it a
pussy stack because then the guy was like behind both
of them doing things like alternating.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
So yeah, we met her.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, and so she came out to the fair and
she's like, remember me, I'm the pussy stack woman, and
we're all like, oh oh why did.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
A little bit more information from that, But like as
soon as she started describing the email she sent it
and I was like, yeah, I remember you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
For sure, and I'll be honest with you. She looked
like a playful, colorful woman. I mean hot. She she
was hot. Yeah. Yeah, okay, oh man, okay, next one.
There we go with the Tracy writes in she says,
it is super amazing to see each of you out
of the community today. I saw my super young and
(03:53):
beautiful pal Bailey at the Renaissance Festival chocolate stand. This
happened yesterday, Bailey. I didn't get a chance to tell
you what an amazing addition you are to the show.
I love your intelligent humor, humility and confident vibe as
a mom in her forties. Who I knew I'd be
a super as a mom? Oh, who knew I'd be
a super fan? But guilty. Here's a picture of us below.
(04:16):
Thanks again for the discount on my chocolate strawberry. The
Hinge Love Story documentary as telling about is called the
Longest Third Date on Netflix. Yeah, super cute, no scary parts,
I promise.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What is that She was telling me about this documentary
that I should watch, called like, yeah, Hinge Third Date
Story or something, that this guy went on a hinge
date and he was I guess he was like on
vacation in Costa Rica or something, and it was right
at the beginning of lockdown, so he ended up getting
locked like he couldn't come back. So it was like
(04:49):
the longest third hinge date ever. And I think it's
a happy ending. So she said it was just fascinating
but not scary at all.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Okay, I gotta check that out. The Longest the Longest
third Day. Yeah, okay, move it on to Bree Secretary.
Brie writes in and says, love you so much. I'm
reaching out with maybe a question very group therapy like
or maybe just for support. So I apologize for the
length of the email. My question to the parents that
(05:17):
choose not to have relationships with your child, how and
why do you make that choice. I'm really interested in
this too, because I know a few people who just
don't have relationships with their kids or their parents. It
blows my mind. Screenshot included the message that my dad
in quotes aka Larry sent my husband because he doesn't
(05:37):
have the courage to speak to me directly. Let's see
if there's a screenshot. Okay, so here is the screenshot
and I will read it to you. This is from Larry,
Bree's dad. Ashton's birthday card is in the mail. Ashton
is her son. I would just like to let you
know that this will be my last contact with the boys.
I think it only adds to the confusion, and I
would rather make the break now so that they can
(05:59):
start accept the fact that I will never be part
of their lives, so that Brianna can be at peace. Josh,
that's Brianna's husband. I believe I can't do this anymore.
I can't pretend that someday things will be Okay, I
truly regret my failures as a father, But of all
but all of the regretted, the world won't change a thing.
I hope that when the boys bring me up, you
(06:20):
can find it in your heart to let them know
how much I loved being their grandpa. In closing, Josh,
I want to be left alone. I've given Brianna all
the space she needed, and now I'm expecting the same.
I don't want to hear from any of you guys
under any circumstance. I'm going to live the rest of
my life. Hold on, I get to zoom in here
a little bit. I'm going to live the rest of
(06:40):
my life thinking that you are all doing well, happy
and healthy. My inability to deal with grief is too
intense to deal with something bad alone. Best wishes to
all of you, guys. I truly am sorry. So and
now I go back to Brianna's email, she says, so
as I sit here sobbing and angry at myself for
allowing this man to upset me once again, and disappoint
(07:01):
me once again, and leave me in a piloteers once again,
I'm still managing to find the silver lining and the
gratitude for people like you, Dave, that are not only
a good dad to the four kids you have, and
boy are those kids so lucky, but you're willing to
be a support to goals like me, good people who
have fathers that have failed them. See, growing up, my
dad wasn't a piece of shit. I never thought I
(07:23):
would have daddy issues, But here I am, at the
age of thirty eight, with a dad who left my
life two years ago due to what I think are
significant and persistent mental illness symptoms, and now wants to
pour a little salt in the wound to make sure
I know he still doesn't want a relationship with me.
Why That's all I'm left asking is why was it
(07:44):
so necessary to send such an awful communication. Just go
away quietly. It's been nice not hearing from you. But
he always has to be the victim. He always has
to have the last word, and he always has to
blame me. So sorry to bring the room down, but Dave,
I'm so happy to hear your voice again this week.
It brings me a sense of comfort that's been lacking
(08:04):
in the dad department. God, I'm getting little misty. I
feel like I also need to shout out to my
mom deb She's the best because she not only makes
up for my shitty parents, she's also a rockstar grandparent.
She helps me not even think about the fact that
my dad chooses not to be in my life. Love y'all,
thanks for listening. Talk soon, Love Secretary pre I knew
that your dad wasn't in your life, but I didn't
(08:25):
know that there was such bitterness and such I don't know, inexplicable.
I don't know what the reason is. I really don't,
but yeah, I can't imagine being so distant. I love
all my kids. There's some, honestly, that I'm just closer
with than others, like Carson and Alison, because it's not
(08:45):
that I'm not close to Beth and Chase, but I
see Alison and Carson much more frequently. And do I
get annoyed with any of them, Sure, but never anything
that's like would be like, well, I don't want Alison
at my house and I'm not gonna send to a
birthday card.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of petty.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
My whole family, Bree is like I mean, my dad's
side of the family are very like grudge people, so
they love to be like, well, I'm the victim and
now I won't talk to you for years and over
something dumb, like super dumb. So I mean it's not
to the same caliber, but it is exhausting. So I
(09:24):
feel you there for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, I know a good friend of mine. I'll tell
you this story because it's kind of funny. Her mom
is just very different person, and this friend of mine
is normal and successful and grounded and brilliant, and she
really does not like her mom. And I really can't
(09:49):
quite figure it out, but I think it's because she's
had to take care of her mom almost as a child,
even when she was a child. And so the funny
part of this in and I'm not giving any details,
is that she signs some agreement that turns her mom's
body over to science when she dies. Well, the mom
(10:12):
had to sign that herself, but she didn't. My friend
forged mom's signature.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Crime.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'm sure it probably is, but I'm never going to
wrap my friend out. And I could have made this
story up for all the tree. Oh so yeah, it's
totally made up. But that's it's like. And my mom
and dad, you know, we were close right up until
the end. It's like you and mom a Ronda.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh, I love her so much.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah, I'm pretty close with my parents. I mean, I'm
definitely very different than my dad, so I'm not quite
as close with him. But I do feel a little
bit bad for him because he did get stuck with
three daughters. And I do think my dad would have
been a really good not that he wasn't a good dad.
I think he would have loved to have a son,
because I was probably the closest to a son in
(10:59):
the terms of like I liked football, so we talk
football together and I'd watch football every once in a
while with him. But I do think he struggles a
little bit to relate to three girls.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I understand that I did not get to grow Chase
did not grow up with me. He grew up with
his mom. And I would see him three or four
times a year, and we'd spend the weekend doing the
call it the Disney Dad stuff, where I'd fly into
town and pick him up and take him out to
the arcade to get pizza, and then we'd go to
the batting cages. Then we'd go to the goat carts,
(11:30):
and then the bumper cars, and we go to the mall.
Then we'd see a movie, then we go get whatever.
And I didn't like that because it's not real. And
so when he got older, he'd be able to come
out here and spend like a week, and then we
would do stuff like lay around the house or do
yard work or whatever, and that felt much more real.
But yeah, there's definitely I think every dad wants a
(11:55):
boy and every mom wants a girl. Yeah, he's not
a thing wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
No, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I
definitely would want a girl if I have kids.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, all right, email next one. And I sent this
email two weeks ago, never heard it read. I'm assuming
it was deleted by accident. I'm sending it again. Shocking
car accidents, and here we go. It's kind of short,
says a shocking car accident. Much wilder scenario than you
probably ever heard. My then fiance now wife. We were
(12:27):
on a zoom call with somebody who was going to
be potentially the photographer at our wedding. It's getting toward
the end of the meeting. All of a sudden, his
computer shook a little and he was no longer on
the screen, just the background of his office a couple
of seconds of silence. I didn't know if he fell
off his chair. What happened? My fiance asked, was everything okay?
And from off screen he said, I think I just
(12:48):
got hit by a car? What We then noticed the
computer turned enough so we could see a car pushed
right up against the window. We asked, do we need
to call somebody? Which at that moment all we knew
is and what city was based out of, which was
hours away. We had no idea where he was taking
the call from. Luckily, he got up and said he
was all right, but obviously had to end the call
(13:10):
so we'd call the police. What had happened is somebody
who was driving forty plus miles an hour lost control
and drove through their parking lot, into the side of
his building and ran into the wall right where he
was sitting. Oh my gosh, sent him flying across the room.
Luckily it was a cinder block wall. The car did
not go through the wall, Otherwise it had have been
much worse. But to make matters worse, not only did
(13:31):
they hit his building, they also swiped his new truck.
After all that, how could we not hire him to
be our photographer? He did a great job, got some
great photos, and we obviously had some jokes about it too.
All attached some photos of the accident, seeing that he
sent us and I remember seeing this one. Yeah, and
it's just exactly what you're picturing. Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What a shot, though, I think I just cut it
by a car.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Well he got a job out of it.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
So hey, we're out all right, Thank you, Nate, appreciate
that that one. Here comes juan Nita and she says,
I want to say that y'all have done an excellent
job holding down the fort while Daddy Bear has been gone.
Jenny in the morning zoo lol, speaking of Daddy Bear,
since he isn't there to fumble around with the buttons,
I just wrote in this week.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I think I read her rant already. Sorry, okay, I
don't know if she resent it, but I thought I
would have deleted it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, let me see if this was on Friday at
seven thirty in the morning. So yeah, we read it, okay.
So it goes on to say this week's rant is
about people that will dismiss your call yeah, and then
send you a text. Yeah, yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I did. I think Bailey maybe didn't upload the Minnesota
goodbye quite yet, but we did read it that morning,
so that's probably why she resent it. But we did
read her round on Friday.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
All right. Next one, it says, greetings Dave Ryan Show crew.
First of all, yes, you could say my name, although
it's possible. If possible, I'd like for this to wait
until Dave is back since this involves him. So you
did not read.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
This one, I did it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't have a topic. Well I do, but that'll
be a separate email to avoid making this one too long.
I just want to say it was a pleasure seeing
you guys at the fair last week. Jenny was getting
a beer when I came by, so unfortunately I missed her.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Jenny was not getting a beer, she was getting in
a Pronto pop. I'm sorry, Oh really, I want it
with your.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Card data bere Oh. I remember that I was there
in a team outing for work and was in a
rush to get back to my group before the boss
found out I was gone, So I apologize not being
able to talk more. I can say you're all just
as friendly in person as you are on the area.
Especially enjoyed geeking out with Vaunt over my love of cruises.
When I mentioned I had written in before, and Dave said,
(15:37):
well what about I was too starstruck to think long
and hard and forgot about some of the really good
ones I've sent in. For instance, I wrote a few
months ago on my dad's friend's mom who took a
shit at the gas station on a road trip, clogged
the toilet, wrapped it in toilet paper, and tossed it
on the side of the highway. God, I remember correctly.
You got a kick out of that. I remembered it
(15:57):
a few hours later and thought, damn, why didn't I
mention that one. I guess I was too in the
moment to think straight. That's okay, anyway, Thanks for all
you do. Congratulations Dave on the new granddaughter. I've attached
the photo we took last Thursday, and here's also one
from twenty fourteen, when I was fifteen years old. Thanks
again for taking the time to chat. Love you guys,
(16:19):
all right. Kevin, Oh my god, there's little Kevin and
that would have been Yeah. I'm wearing my Harley Davidson watch,
which I haven't worn in years. But there is little Kevin,
and there is Kevin as an adult. Wow.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Cute.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
That is funny. Thank you, Kevin. I do think that
that might be about it. Oh, here's when they came
in Saturday. Oh, this is a good one. Do you
guys know what was the name of the original dart
Lick Minnesota Goodbye episode? Is it still posted online somewhere?
Wanting to show it to a friend? Then I can't
find it. That's Elizabeth. Does anybody remember anything about that?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
That was before my time?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
That's why I waited, also for you, because that was
also before my That was one, like Steve was still here.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Here's what will happen though, somebody who knows will write
to the Minnesota Goodbye at Ryan show at KTWB dot
com and say, oh, it was September eighteenth of whatever.
So if you remember the original dart Lick. And in
case you know, once in a while we get new listeners,
we have to bring up why we have dart Lick.
(17:22):
And we were talking about eating ass on the show
and Steve said, how do you eat ass? And I said,
I don't know, dart lick dart lick, and we all laughed,
and we thought that would be the end of everything. No,
but it's stuck.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
It lived on. It's going to be your legacy.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Just so on my tombstone, it'll say dart Lick.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh right.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That's another one that's kind of our signature, from the
guy who did the training video for what Old Country Buffet. Yes,
and he says something like, okay, would you like you're
like a thin slice of roast beef or thick? And
the woman says thick and he's like, oh, alright.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
You like hot fudge Sundays. Yeah, alright. I love that guy.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
His picture is right over your left shoulder and you
realize that it is.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I wear the shirts that he brought in. He brought
in like some three XLS, and I wear it to
bed sometimes. I love that well nightgown.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
All right. That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. All right,
dart Lick. Send us anything if you want to comment
on I don't know the which episode that was, or
anything else you want to bring up. We would love
to hear from you. We love doing the Minnesota Goodbye
because it is kind of like it's your birthday and
you don't know what you're going to get, so we

fun to open up the emails and see what you've
come up with, and some of them are outrageous, some
of them are very touching, like breeze story. If you
know any comments on anything, you want to share a story,
please send that into Ryan Show at KDWB dot com
I promise to start the Minnesota Goodbye, or at least
tell the story in the Minnesota Goodbye about how I
got into it like a wee bit of a trouble
at the air Force football game. So I'm at the
air Force football game. I went by my I was
in Colorado and it was Saturday, and I had nothing
to do. And I love college football. There's I love
it so much more than pro football. The atmosphere is
just better, and the fans are better, and it's just fun.
(00:21):
It's just I don't know, just love the atmosphere. So
it's a beautiful Saturday afternoon and at Falcon Stadium, which
is you know, I mean it's a small ish football stadium.
And I notice on the roof of the scoreboard there
is a sniper with a rifle. Okay, okay, And and
(00:41):
they had the rifle covered up so it wouldn't frighten people,
but you know, I know what a rifle looks like,
and they have it out there for public safety, so
in case some Yahoo starts, you know, shooting up the
place or whatever, they're going to be able to take
him out. So I'm looking up and I had binoculars
because I'm a sorts fan, and I'm the nerdy guy
that carries around binoculars at a football game. And so
(01:04):
I'm looking at this sniper and their team and there's
like four or five of them up on the roof,
and I'm watching the sniper and looking at the rifle
and I'm just looking at it because I'm curious. One
of them notices me looking up at the sniper rifle
and they must have thought, why is that fucking weirdo
(01:24):
looking up at us? Yeah, so one of them elbows
the other one. Pretty soon they're all looking at me. Oh,
I'm looking at them looking at me. I'm looking at
them with binoculars. And then I thought, oh, I wonder
if I shouldn't be doing this because they're giving me
a look like that, like, what's this guy doing? It's suspicious.
So did I get in trouble?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I was gonna say, did someone approach you about it?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I kind of expect that. I mean, I oversold the
story a little bit. I beer honest with you, which
I tend to do, but I was expecting somebody to
come up and say, hey, excuse me, can I see
your ID? And I would have had no problem with
that because I got nothing to hide. I'm not going
to be one of those people like you see on
videos going No, I'm not going to show you my RD.
So anyway, the guy, he'd take a swing at him.
(02:09):
Here's your fucking rifle. Yeah, so, anyway, if you ever
see a sniper rifle somewhere, don't pull out your binoculars
and look. I guess that's all right. Ont of the emails,
did what did I missed last week on the Minnesota Goodbye?
Anything really interesting come up that? Because a lot of
the time you guys talk about something spicy.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No, we didn't have any spicy ones last week. I
don't think.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Let me see. Let's see this one's called who Farted Rakeovic?
Cookie Crumbles? Yeah No, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Okay, that exciting. I'm sure we had some fantastic emails.
I just can't think of anything that was super over
the top. Well, nothing about pussy stacks.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Oh my god, we saw that woman at the fair.
You remember her?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I know, I do remember. I didn't know if you
guys talked about it because I was gone the next day.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We forgot about that, and I kind of remember a
little bit. But she was talking about a threesome she
had and describe because I feel.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
A little bit unep having a threesome, and I basically
I think she or the other woman was on top
of let's say she was on top of the other woman,
so like in missionary and so she called it a
pussy stack because then the guy was like behind both
of them doing things like alternating.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
So yeah, we met her.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, and so she came out to the fair and
she's like, remember me, I'm the pussy stack woman, and
we're all like, oh oh why did.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
A little bit more information from that, But like as
soon as she started describing the email she sent it
and I was like, yeah, I remember you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
For sure, and I'll be honest with you. She looked
like a playful, colorful woman. I mean hot. She she
was hot. Yeah. Yeah, okay, oh man, okay, next one.
There we go with the Tracy writes in she says,
it is super amazing to see each of you out
of the community today. I saw my super young and
(03:53):
beautiful pal Bailey at the Renaissance Festival chocolate stand. This
happened yesterday, Bailey. I didn't get a chance to tell
you what an amazing addition you are to the show.
I love your intelligent humor, humility and confident vibe as
a mom in her forties. Who I knew I'd be
a super as a mom? Oh, who knew I'd be
a super fan? But guilty. Here's a picture of us below.
(04:16):
Thanks again for the discount on my chocolate strawberry. The
Hinge Love Story documentary as telling about is called the
Longest Third Date on Netflix. Yeah, super cute, no scary parts,
I promise.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
What is that She was telling me about this documentary
that I should watch, called like, yeah, Hinge Third Date
Story or something, that this guy went on a hinge
date and he was I guess he was like on
vacation in Costa Rica or something, and it was right
at the beginning of lockdown, so he ended up getting
locked like he couldn't come back. So it was like
(04:49):
the longest third hinge date ever. And I think it's
a happy ending. So she said it was just fascinating
but not scary at all.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Okay, I gotta check that out. The Longest the Longest
third Day. Yeah, okay, move it on to Bree Secretary.
Brie writes in and says, love you so much. I'm
reaching out with maybe a question very group therapy like
or maybe just for support. So I apologize for the
length of the email. My question to the parents that
(05:17):
choose not to have relationships with your child, how and
why do you make that choice. I'm really interested in
this too, because I know a few people who just
don't have relationships with their kids or their parents. It
blows my mind. Screenshot included the message that my dad
in quotes aka Larry sent my husband because he doesn't
(05:37):
have the courage to speak to me directly. Let's see
if there's a screenshot. Okay, so here is the screenshot
and I will read it to you. This is from Larry,
Bree's dad. Ashton's birthday card is in the mail. Ashton
is her son. I would just like to let you
know that this will be my last contact with the boys.
I think it only adds to the confusion, and I
would rather make the break now so that they can
(05:59):
start accept the fact that I will never be part
of their lives, so that Brianna can be at peace. Josh,
that's Brianna's husband. I believe I can't do this anymore.
I can't pretend that someday things will be Okay, I
truly regret my failures as a father, But of all
but all of the regretted, the world won't change a thing.
I hope that when the boys bring me up, you
(06:20):
can find it in your heart to let them know
how much I loved being their grandpa. In closing, Josh,
I want to be left alone. I've given Brianna all
the space she needed, and now I'm expecting the same.
I don't want to hear from any of you guys
under any circumstance. I'm going to live the rest of
my life. Hold on, I get to zoom in here
a little bit. I'm going to live the rest of
(06:40):
my life thinking that you are all doing well, happy
and healthy. My inability to deal with grief is too
intense to deal with something bad alone. Best wishes to
all of you, guys. I truly am sorry. So and
now I go back to Brianna's email, she says, so
as I sit here sobbing and angry at myself for
allowing this man to upset me once again, and disappoint
(07:01):
me once again, and leave me in a piloteers once again,
I'm still managing to find the silver lining and the
gratitude for people like you, Dave, that are not only
a good dad to the four kids you have, and
boy are those kids so lucky, but you're willing to
be a support to goals like me, good people who
have fathers that have failed them. See, growing up, my
dad wasn't a piece of shit. I never thought I
(07:23):
would have daddy issues, But here I am, at the
age of thirty eight, with a dad who left my
life two years ago due to what I think are
significant and persistent mental illness symptoms, and now wants to
pour a little salt in the wound to make sure
I know he still doesn't want a relationship with me.
Why That's all I'm left asking is why was it
(07:44):
so necessary to send such an awful communication. Just go
away quietly. It's been nice not hearing from you. But
he always has to be the victim. He always has
to have the last word, and he always has to
blame me. So sorry to bring the room down, but Dave,
I'm so happy to hear your voice again this week.
It brings me a sense of comfort that's been lacking
(08:04):
in the dad department. God, I'm getting little misty. I
feel like I also need to shout out to my
mom deb She's the best because she not only makes
up for my shitty parents, she's also a rockstar grandparent.
She helps me not even think about the fact that
my dad chooses not to be in my life. Love y'all,
thanks for listening. Talk soon, Love Secretary pre I knew
that your dad wasn't in your life, but I didn't
(08:25):
know that there was such bitterness and such I don't know, inexplicable.
I don't know what the reason is. I really don't,
but yeah, I can't imagine being so distant. I love
all my kids. There's some, honestly, that I'm just closer
with than others, like Carson and Alison, because it's not
(08:45):
that I'm not close to Beth and Chase, but I
see Alison and Carson much more frequently. And do I
get annoyed with any of them, Sure, but never anything
that's like would be like, well, I don't want Alison
at my house and I'm not gonna send to a
birthday card.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of petty.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
My whole family, Bree is like I mean, my dad's
side of the family are very like grudge people, so
they love to be like, well, I'm the victim and
now I won't talk to you for years and over
something dumb, like super dumb. So I mean it's not
to the same caliber, but it is exhausting. So I
(09:24):
feel you there for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, I know a good friend of mine. I'll tell
you this story because it's kind of funny. Her mom
is just very different person, and this friend of mine
is normal and successful and grounded and brilliant, and she
really does not like her mom. And I really can't
(09:49):
quite figure it out, but I think it's because she's
had to take care of her mom almost as a child,
even when she was a child. And so the funny
part of this in and I'm not giving any details,
is that she signs some agreement that turns her mom's
body over to science when she dies. Well, the mom
(10:12):
had to sign that herself, but she didn't. My friend
forged mom's signature.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Crime.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'm sure it probably is, but I'm never going to
wrap my friend out. And I could have made this
story up for all the tree. Oh so yeah, it's
totally made up. But that's it's like. And my mom
and dad, you know, we were close right up until
the end. It's like you and mom a Ronda.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Oh, I love her so much.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah, I'm pretty close with my parents. I mean, I'm
definitely very different than my dad, so I'm not quite
as close with him. But I do feel a little
bit bad for him because he did get stuck with
three daughters. And I do think my dad would have
been a really good not that he wasn't a good dad.
I think he would have loved to have a son,
because I was probably the closest to a son in
(10:59):
the terms of like I liked football, so we talk
football together and I'd watch football every once in a
while with him. But I do think he struggles a
little bit to relate to three girls.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I understand that I did not get to grow Chase
did not grow up with me. He grew up with
his mom. And I would see him three or four
times a year, and we'd spend the weekend doing the
call it the Disney Dad stuff, where I'd fly into
town and pick him up and take him out to
the arcade to get pizza, and then we'd go to
the batting cages. Then we'd go to the goat carts,
(11:30):
and then the bumper cars, and we go to the mall.
Then we'd see a movie, then we go get whatever.
And I didn't like that because it's not real. And
so when he got older, he'd be able to come
out here and spend like a week, and then we
would do stuff like lay around the house or do
yard work or whatever, and that felt much more real.
But yeah, there's definitely I think every dad wants a
(11:55):
boy and every mom wants a girl. Yeah, he's not
a thing wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
No, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I
definitely would want a girl if I have kids.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, all right, email next one. And I sent this
email two weeks ago, never heard it read. I'm assuming
it was deleted by accident. I'm sending it again. Shocking
car accidents, and here we go. It's kind of short,
says a shocking car accident. Much wilder scenario than you
probably ever heard. My then fiance now wife. We were
(12:27):
on a zoom call with somebody who was going to
be potentially the photographer at our wedding. It's getting toward
the end of the meeting. All of a sudden, his
computer shook a little and he was no longer on
the screen, just the background of his office a couple
of seconds of silence. I didn't know if he fell
off his chair. What happened? My fiance asked, was everything okay?
And from off screen he said, I think I just
(12:48):
got hit by a car? What We then noticed the
computer turned enough so we could see a car pushed
right up against the window. We asked, do we need
to call somebody? Which at that moment all we knew
is and what city was based out of, which was
hours away. We had no idea where he was taking
the call from. Luckily, he got up and said he
was all right, but obviously had to end the call
(13:10):
so we'd call the police. What had happened is somebody
who was driving forty plus miles an hour lost control
and drove through their parking lot, into the side of
his building and ran into the wall right where he
was sitting. Oh my gosh, sent him flying across the room.
Luckily it was a cinder block wall. The car did
not go through the wall, Otherwise it had have been
much worse. But to make matters worse, not only did
(13:31):
they hit his building, they also swiped his new truck.
After all that, how could we not hire him to
be our photographer? He did a great job, got some
great photos, and we obviously had some jokes about it too.
All attached some photos of the accident, seeing that he
sent us and I remember seeing this one. Yeah, and
it's just exactly what you're picturing. Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
What a shot, though, I think I just cut it
by a car.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Well he got a job out of it.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
So hey, we're out all right, Thank you, Nate, appreciate
that that one. Here comes juan Nita and she says,
I want to say that y'all have done an excellent
job holding down the fort while Daddy Bear has been gone.
Jenny in the morning zoo lol, speaking of Daddy Bear,
since he isn't there to fumble around with the buttons,
I just wrote in this week.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I think I read her rant already. Sorry, okay, I
don't know if she resent it, but I thought I
would have deleted it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, let me see if this was on Friday at
seven thirty in the morning. So yeah, we read it, okay.
So it goes on to say this week's rant is
about people that will dismiss your call yeah, and then
send you a text. Yeah, yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I did. I think Bailey maybe didn't upload the Minnesota
goodbye quite yet, but we did read it that morning,
so that's probably why she resent it. But we did
read her round on Friday.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
All right. Next one, it says, greetings Dave Ryan Show crew.
First of all, yes, you could say my name, although
it's possible. If possible, I'd like for this to wait
until Dave is back since this involves him. So you
did not read.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
This one, I did it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I don't have a topic. Well I do, but that'll
be a separate email to avoid making this one too long.
I just want to say it was a pleasure seeing
you guys at the fair last week. Jenny was getting
a beer when I came by, so unfortunately I missed her.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Jenny was not getting a beer, she was getting in
a Pronto pop. I'm sorry, Oh really, I want it
with your.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Card data bere Oh. I remember that I was there
in a team outing for work and was in a
rush to get back to my group before the boss
found out I was gone, So I apologize not being
able to talk more. I can say you're all just
as friendly in person as you are on the area.
Especially enjoyed geeking out with Vaunt over my love of cruises.
When I mentioned I had written in before, and Dave said,
(15:37):
well what about I was too starstruck to think long
and hard and forgot about some of the really good
ones I've sent in. For instance, I wrote a few
months ago on my dad's friend's mom who took a
shit at the gas station on a road trip, clogged
the toilet, wrapped it in toilet paper, and tossed it
on the side of the highway. God, I remember correctly.
You got a kick out of that. I remembered it
(15:57):
a few hours later and thought, damn, why didn't I
mention that one. I guess I was too in the
moment to think straight. That's okay, anyway, Thanks for all
you do. Congratulations Dave on the new granddaughter. I've attached
the photo we took last Thursday, and here's also one
from twenty fourteen, when I was fifteen years old. Thanks
again for taking the time to chat. Love you guys,
(16:19):
all right. Kevin, Oh my god, there's little Kevin and
that would have been Yeah. I'm wearing my Harley Davidson watch,
which I haven't worn in years. But there is little Kevin,
and there is Kevin as an adult. Wow.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Cute.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
That is funny. Thank you, Kevin. I do think that
that might be about it. Oh, here's when they came
in Saturday. Oh, this is a good one. Do you
guys know what was the name of the original dart
Lick Minnesota Goodbye episode? Is it still posted online somewhere?
Wanting to show it to a friend? Then I can't
find it. That's Elizabeth. Does anybody remember anything about that?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
That was before my time?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
That's why I waited, also for you, because that was
also before my That was one, like Steve was still here.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Here's what will happen though, somebody who knows will write
to the Minnesota Goodbye at Ryan show at KTWB dot
com and say, oh, it was September eighteenth of whatever.
So if you remember the original dart Lick. And in
case you know, once in a while we get new listeners,
we have to bring up why we have dart Lick.
(17:22):
And we were talking about eating ass on the show
and Steve said, how do you eat ass? And I said,
I don't know, dart lick dart lick, and we all laughed,
and we thought that would be the end of everything. No,
but it's stuck.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
It lived on. It's going to be your legacy.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Just so on my tombstone, it'll say dart Lick.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh right.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That's another one that's kind of our signature, from the
guy who did the training video for what Old Country Buffet. Yes,
and he says something like, okay, would you like you're
like a thin slice of roast beef or thick? And
the woman says thick and he's like, oh, alright.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
You like hot fudge Sundays. Yeah, alright. I love that guy.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
His picture is right over your left shoulder and you
realize that it is.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I wear the shirts that he brought in. He brought
in like some three XLS, and I wear it to
bed sometimes. I love that well nightgown.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
All right. That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye. All right,
dart Lick. Send us anything if you want to comment
on I don't know the which episode that was, or
anything else you want to bring up. We would love
to hear from you. We love doing the Minnesota Goodbye
