Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is the Minnesota Goodbye Bailey and Jenny here today.
Vonte will maybe be on a couple episodes this week.
He will not be on today, but Dave is off.
So let's get right into the emails because we have
a lot. So it says the first time writer here.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Dave.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
The other day you said that the first funeral you
remember going to, you thought it would be sad. You
made a comment that you were surprised people were telling
funny stories. And I have a funny story for you guys.
When I was little, my great uncle Leo passed away.
At the wake, everyone was telling stories that they remembered
about Uncle Leo. Leo's older brother stood up and said
that he always got mad at him when they were
(00:37):
younger because he would drink all of the dandelion wine
he made. There was more dialogue to the story that
was funny, But the kicker was that my grandma and
one of her sisters were sitting behind him as he's
telling this story, leaning into each other, covering their mouths
and trying not to laugh as he hears the commotion
behind him.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
The truth came.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Out years later that my grandma and her sister were
the ones that always drank his dandelion wine. It was
definitely a moment our family will never forget. Just wondering
if any of you guys also have a memorable, funny
or lighthearted.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Story at a wake or funeral.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Thank you guys for all you do, if this is story,
if this story is worthy of the podcast, I would
like a staff writer sticker, and we definitely won't get
you one that comes from Keith. I don't think I have, Yeah,
I really don't.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I just remember, so I had my uncle Jim died
and we did shots at his funeral and they were
like the really shitty ones that come in, like the
plastic cup with the seal on top that are like twisted.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
They were so gross.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
But like my uncle Jim, he loved alcohol and cigarettes.
And I feel like my uncle Jim story is a
long one. Dave thinks it's fascinating, but I don't need
to necessarily get into it. But he was definitely a
unique character. Yeah, So I think overall, like there aren't
(02:06):
any serious stories that really anyone has about my uncle
Jim because he's not like.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
A serious guy.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
So all of the stories about him were just like
dumb shit that he used to do and funny moments
where he said something like out of pocket or like
what he used to be like as a kid, And
so that was that one was really fun. Like when
my uncle John died, everybody had good funny stories.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And I think, my it's.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Mostly my dad's side of the family that I've gone
to the most funerals for, and they're all kind of
very sarcastic, sort of like roasty kind of people in general.
So I think every funeral I've gone to has had
some kind of roast element to it, or at least
in recent years, which is kind of It's nice because
(02:54):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm crying regardless, but man, I hate a funeral.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
No, I was gonna say, Yeah, I I have luckily
not had to go to a funeral in a really
long time, and gosh, I want to say, the last
one I went to was my grandma's, which was ten
years ago. Wow, And that one was really hard because
that was like my closest relative of anyone that had
ever passed, and I just, yeah, it was really hard.
(03:20):
So I just remember crying a lot, and I don't remember.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Anything fun moment.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, So all right, moving on, this says Morning Choe crew.
When I was growing up in Saint Paul in the nineties,
I would often catch bits and pieces of the Day
Ryan Show. I hate to admit it, but I often
thought the show was a bit vulgar and superficial. Fast
forward to today, and I'm a huge fan. I think
the show is phenomenal and it makes me so happy.
(03:45):
So my question for Dave is this, and I'm so
sorry he is not here, so maybe we need to
address this when he is. But it says did the
show change or did I change? I think it might
be a bit of both. But I'm curious about how
you think the show has changed over the years and
whine if you think it has become more vulnerable or
family friendly. So I can speak on what's changed as
(04:07):
I've been here for almost ten years. Yes, it has
definitely changed to be less.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Vulgar, but not like we don't ever lose our edge.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
We are definitely edgier than other shows around the Twin
Cities in my opinion, and it's just that, like the
times have changed quite a bit, and like the shit
that Dave used to do on the radio back in
the nineties was it was really vulgar and it was
a very different time and there, I mean a lot
of things would have been canceled by them in today's
(04:40):
day and age.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
And he talks about that a lot, where he says
like bits and parodies, and that was like everything that
they did was like a game or like extreme Jamie,
like we're gonna have you jump off the roof into
a garbage bin or something, and it was shock factor stuff.
And he'll talk about that that like now it's turned
almost like a one to eighty essentially, like he could
(05:02):
not play a lot of what they had in the
nineties because it would be yeah, you would get canceled for.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
It, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And I would say in terms of the vulnerability aspect
of the show, I would say, yes, there is more
of that only because people want to relate to radio
people in a way that they feel like we're just
normal people, and we are, and so we want to
be open about, you know, going through hard times or
something exciting that's happened. We want to be open about
(05:33):
that because we want anyone who's listening to be like, oh,
I've been through that before, or oh that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You know. People are looking for connections.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, the connection and then just the fact that I
think there's just a lot of fake shit in the
world now with social media, and so we just tried
to be very real on the radio. And I mean,
and Dave says this a lot, but like what you
get on the radio from us, it's like who we are,
you know, we're not putting on a show.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I did have someone DM me trying to ask me
out within.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
The last week, and they the one thing they said
was I would like to get to know like the
real Jenny, not the Jenny that like is on the radio.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And I'm like, okay, I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
She's the same five yearl She's still a gassy bitch.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
She's a gassy bitch on the radio and talks about it.
She's a gassy bitch off the radio. Okay, all right,
moving on to the next email. Let's see Hello, David, Jenny,
and Bailey. I hope you're all well. I'm currently enjoying
a parenting break and treating myself to a petty here,
so I thought I would email it. I should define
(06:36):
parenting break as a note that we are very lucky
and our parents took our two and a half year
old and five five point five months old for two nights.
Please know the mom guilt comes in waves during this break,
but I'm also enjoying our Friday date night with friends.
We went to the speakeasy in the Lakeville gas station
for a drink place yeah, before enjoying some long, crazy
(07:00):
Mexican food and Margarita's.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I got drunk.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Oops.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Today I'm getting a pedicure and running some errands before
heading home to a husband likely playing video games all day,
where where I will read a book and enjoy grilling
dinner with him on the Blackstone after we both have
had our chance to do our own thing all day.
It's funny how these two days probably seems crazy to
the show members who currently don't have young children, but
(07:24):
it's going to be a pretty great recharge before jumping
back into our day to day with our boys Sunday afternoon. Disclaimer,
I love my kids more than anything and don't agree
with complaints many parents have about not feeling like yourself
once you become a mom. I became myself once once
I finally became a mom, and although getting to do
some of these normal things for myself, I truly believe
(07:45):
this is part of being a mom. You can't expect
to do everything for others all of the time, and
eventually you won't have to because they will grow up
and move on being in the trenches. The parenthood is demanding,
and if you don't think you can be selfless for
your family, then do your part to not become a parent.
I know not everyone has parents nearby that are also
willing to help to allow these breaks, but coordinate a
(08:06):
playdate break with other parents and repay the favor for
them to get a break. Hopefully that sparked some conversation
and wasn't just a humble break on my day where
I actually have time to write into the show. I
hope you all enjoyed your long holiday weekend. Keep being
a great Cheers from staff writer Sydney. Yeah. I mean,
of course, like Bailey and I can't relate to a
parenthood at all.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
But I mean the day that you're having sounds awesome.
It does sound fun day, regardless if parenting or not.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And I think Bailey and I are surrounded around with
a lot of people who have kids, especially young kids
right now in our lives, that we understand how you
feel like we don't. We can't necessarily empathize with it,
but we understand that, Yeah, having like two days to
do whatever you want sounds so great, And I think
it's like one of the reasons that I have questioned
my desire to be a parent is because I do
(08:54):
like to do what I want when I want whenever. Yeah,
Like be a little bit of a bold statement, but
I think that our generation of millennials that aren't having
kids or are just having them later in life, I
feel like it's happening because like so many people were
(09:14):
just forced to go to college or get married young,
and then the next step was having kids, Whereas I
got to spend my twenties and now part of my
thirties knowing who I am as a person and not
just seeing it yes, and not just assuming the next
step has to be a kid. Now it's like I
actually question that because I don't know. I enjoy my
(09:36):
life and I'm able to do this, Whereas I feel
like it was kind of this.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Rush timeline back in the day and.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So everyone did it, yeah, and versus now when it's
like it's a choice you make kind of. I mean,
I know women who are like, oh, I know that
I'm meant to be a mother, like my sister always
wanted to be a mom, and so she's like, this
makes sense for me, this is what I want. I've
always wanted to be a mother versus me who I'm like,
I like kids past the age five, yeah, but like
(10:02):
not before that. But you can't just choose what age
you have a child at, like, oh, I'll have one
if they're five. So I mean I feel the same
way where I do really like my life. I like
all the stuff I do. I do think sometimes like,
oh I could slow down. Maybe having a kid would
help me make that happen, But ask not why I'm
going to have one, and that.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We're not caused your life to sleep, No, it was away.
Yeah I want to say, you're not flown out by
having a kid. No, but yeah, I do think that
I've evolved a little bit in the last couple of years,
just like having more interest in having kids. But we
all know there's not quite an option for me right now,
so we'll see.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I always think of it like, you know, if I
got if I met the love of my life today,
I would not be getting pregnant tomorrow, so I would
have to go in get my iud taken out, and
then I would have to, you know, plan like are
we going to be together forever. I'd like to get
married first, then decide to have a kid, and by
that time I'm going.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
To be like late geriatric pregnancy.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So it is that at this point where I'm kind
of like, you know what, it's probably not in the
cards for me, and I just got to be okay
with that.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And it's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I know a lot of kids that can enrich my
life without me having one of my own.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Loin Yeah, you know, Okay, up, Naxa says hello. I
hope you're all having a great Labor Day weekend. I
was just wondering because I do listen to a sister
station of yours and Dubs. Okay, so Dubs on Kwan
or two, they get to go he goes out and
hands stuff out at Costco and home Depot around the
city is and they're always giving stuff away. But yet
(11:37):
on KATIEWB, my favorite station, they still don't have a
van working. I think it's the breaks or something. Y'all
are part of iHeart, right, Why do they get to
do so much and you guys don't. I've been wondering
for a while now is it a bit or what
you guys seem never to have money for anything extra,
but they clearly do always. Anyway, I love you, and
(11:59):
I know I missed a podcast or show. I hope
you can address this because it just doesn't seem fair
and that comes from Nicky. So okay, the oh got
it just lightning? Oh yeah, scared me for a second.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
My gosh.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So it is kind of a joke about the van.
We do have functioning vans, but things do break down
a lot, and yes, Dubs does go out and hand
out a bunch of random things. There is a difference
between pop music and country music. There is more availability
(12:33):
for tickets with country station stuff and country concerts.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Pop is not as easy and I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't want to get into the weeds of it,
but it's not We are a hall part of iHeart.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
We all work literally down the hall from K one
O two. But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I don't have an exact answer besides the fact that
it's just a little bits.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It's different.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
It's almost different, like it's not different industries, but it's
very different.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I feel like what I've tried to like glean from
my short experience here is that it's easier to book
country artists to like come into the sky room or
to get tickets, like multiple tickets to you know, a
country artist who's performing in the Twin Cities at their
show at whatever place X Y z amphitheater or whatever,
(13:19):
versus Sabrina Carpenter is like so huge that she's not
gonna come into the station. Yeah. So like I get
that K one O two seems to get a lot
more stuff because it's probably easier to get those folks
on board with doing like events, like they're a boat
cruise thing that they did. Also, yes, right right, So
(13:41):
I think it's just easier to book those folks than
it is to book top forty artists.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I feel you, though, emailer, because I wish we did
more stuff too.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
That would be great, right, Okay, sorry, I was super tired.
I'm just yawning into the microphone such a profect, I am. Okay,
we'll do one more email and then we're going to
save the rest for later in this week. This one
says hello to my favorite morning show, carew A week
or so ago, you had someone email in about what
they used to believe as a kid or something along
(14:13):
those lines.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Well, I have a good one that includes my dad.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
When I was younger, and I'm going to be honest
even still now as an adult, I didn't like eating
the crust of bread, so to get me to eat it,
my dad told me that that's where all the vitamins
and minerals are in the bread, the healthiest part. Fast
forward to last Easter. Somehow this topic got brought up
when eating dinner. I laughed and told my dad, Hey,
remember when you told me all the vitamins and minerals
(14:38):
were in the crust. My dad, mid chewing, freezes and
looks at me dumbfounded. He tells me, wait, I was
always told by my mom that the crust is the
healthiest part. I could see it slowly dawning on my
dad's face, how ridiculous it sounded, and we all had
a good laugh about it.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Ah. I always thought that too, though someone told me
that too.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I think that's like a regular tale.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That I've never heard that. I just have always liked
the crust, so I don't know. But anyways, I continue on.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
PS.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I got my kidb merch for the first time this
year at the fair, and I'm so excited to break
in the sweatshirt this fall. I've already been wearing mind
thanks guys. That comes from Alison.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, I listen. That is a really cute and funny story.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And I thought it was real. I thought all the
vitamins were in there. You know what I learned working
at Mill City Museum way back, which is just all
about flour, is that white bread is essentially just lacking vitamins.
So when you see it saying enriched white bread, enriched
is that they literally take the vitamins out when they
(15:40):
grind the like wheat to make the bread, and then
they put it back in so that white bread will
have some sort of nourishment because it truly does not
have any otherwise.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So that's enriched.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That's why I like white bread so much. Value man.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I hammered some sandwiches this past weekend when I went
out in the van, and I use the potato bread
that Country So. I don't know if we've ever brought
this up on the Minnesota Goodbye, but basically Country Heart
is like a partner of the radio station or of iHeart,
and they drop off palate palate of bread every single week.
So we'll have potato bread, we'll have hot dog buns,
(16:19):
we'll have English muffins. Like anything that your carb heart desires.
We get it weekly and so I have not had
to purchase buns or bread this entire summer. And it's
been nice because I eat sandwiches when I go out
in the van all the time. I don't really like
cook cook a ton. I try to keep it pretty simple,
so that was nice to have that potato.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Bread this weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Very nice.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It's also very delicious always.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Okay, well, we have more emails than we're going to
get to the rest of home later this week, so
keep on emailing in The Ryan Show at katiewb dot com,
and thanks for listening.
It is the Minnesota Goodbye Bailey and Jenny here today.
Vonte will maybe be on a couple episodes this week.
He will not be on today, but Dave is off.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
She's the same five yearl She's still a gassy bitch.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
She's a gassy bitch on the radio and talks about it.
She's a gassy bitch off the radio. Okay, all right,
moving on to the next email. Let's see Hello, David, Jenny,
and Bailey. I hope you're all well. I'm currently enjoying
a parenting break and treating myself to a petty here,
so I thought I would email it. I should define
(06:36):
parenting break as a note that we are very lucky
and our parents took our two and a half year
old and five five point five months old for two nights.
Please know the mom guilt comes in waves during this break,
but I'm also enjoying our Friday date night with friends.
We went to the speakeasy in the Lakeville gas station
for a drink place yeah, before enjoying some long, crazy
(07:00):
Mexican food and Margarita's.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I got drunk.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Oops.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Today I'm getting a pedicure and running some errands before
heading home to a husband likely playing video games all day,
where where I will read a book and enjoy grilling
dinner with him on the Blackstone after we both have
had our chance to do our own thing all day.
It's funny how these two days probably seems crazy to
the show members who currently don't have young children, but
(07:24):
it's going to be a pretty great recharge before jumping
back into our day to day with our boys Sunday afternoon. Disclaimer,
I love my kids more than anything and don't agree
with complaints many parents have about not feeling like yourself
once you become a mom. I became myself once once
I finally became a mom, and although getting to do
some of these normal things for myself, I truly believe
(07:45):
this is part of being a mom. You can't expect
to do everything for others all of the time, and
eventually you won't have to because they will grow up
and move on being in the trenches. The parenthood is demanding,
and if you don't think you can be selfless for
your family, then do your part to not become a parent.
I know not everyone has parents nearby that are also
willing to help to allow these breaks, but coordinate a
(08:06):
playdate break with other parents and repay the favor for
them to get a break. Hopefully that sparked some conversation
and wasn't just a humble break on my day where
I actually have time to write into the show. I
hope you all enjoyed your long holiday weekend. Keep being
a great Cheers from staff writer Sydney. Yeah. I mean,
of course, like Bailey and I can't relate to a
parenthood at all.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
But I mean the day that you're having sounds awesome.
It does sound fun day, regardless if parenting or not.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And I think Bailey and I are surrounded around with
a lot of people who have kids, especially young kids
right now in our lives, that we understand how you
feel like we don't. We can't necessarily empathize with it,
but we understand that, Yeah, having like two days to
do whatever you want sounds so great, And I think
it's like one of the reasons that I have questioned
my desire to be a parent is because I do
(08:54):
like to do what I want when I want whenever. Yeah,
Like be a little bit of a bold statement, but
I think that our generation of millennials that aren't having
kids or are just having them later in life, I
feel like it's happening because like so many people were
(09:14):
just forced to go to college or get married young,
and then the next step was having kids, Whereas I
got to spend my twenties and now part of my
thirties knowing who I am as a person and not
just seeing it yes, and not just assuming the next
step has to be a kid. Now it's like I
actually question that because I don't know. I enjoy my
(09:36):
life and I'm able to do this, Whereas I feel
like it was kind of this.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Rush timeline back in the day and.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So everyone did it, yeah, and versus now when it's
like it's a choice you make kind of. I mean,
I know women who are like, oh, I know that
I'm meant to be a mother, like my sister always
wanted to be a mom, and so she's like, this
makes sense for me, this is what I want. I've
always wanted to be a mother versus me who I'm like,
I like kids past the age five, yeah, but like
(10:02):
not before that. But you can't just choose what age
you have a child at, like, oh, I'll have one
if they're five. So I mean I feel the same
way where I do really like my life. I like
all the stuff I do. I do think sometimes like,
oh I could slow down. Maybe having a kid would
help me make that happen, But ask not why I'm
going to have one, and that.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We're not caused your life to sleep, No, it was away.
Yeah I want to say, you're not flown out by
having a kid. No, but yeah, I do think that
I've evolved a little bit in the last couple of years,
just like having more interest in having kids. But we
all know there's not quite an option for me right now,
so we'll see.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I always think of it like, you know, if I
got if I met the love of my life today,
I would not be getting pregnant tomorrow, so I would
have to go in get my iud taken out, and
then I would have to, you know, plan like are
we going to be together forever. I'd like to get
married first, then decide to have a kid, and by
that time I'm going.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
To be like late geriatric pregnancy.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So it is that at this point where I'm kind
of like, you know what, it's probably not in the
cards for me, and I just got to be okay
with that.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And it's fine.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I know a lot of kids that can enrich my
life without me having one of my own.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Loin Yeah, you know, Okay, up, Naxa says hello. I
hope you're all having a great Labor Day weekend. I
was just wondering because I do listen to a sister
station of yours and Dubs. Okay, so Dubs on Kwan
or two, they get to go he goes out and
hands stuff out at Costco and home Depot around the
city is and they're always giving stuff away. But yet
(11:37):
on KATIEWB, my favorite station, they still don't have a
van working. I think it's the breaks or something. Y'all
are part of iHeart, right, Why do they get to
do so much and you guys don't. I've been wondering
for a while now is it a bit or what
you guys seem never to have money for anything extra,
but they clearly do always. Anyway, I love you, and
(11:59):
I know I missed a podcast or show. I hope
you can address this because it just doesn't seem fair
and that comes from Nicky. So okay, the oh got
it just lightning? Oh yeah, scared me for a second.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
My gosh.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So it is kind of a joke about the van.
We do have functioning vans, but things do break down
a lot, and yes, Dubs does go out and hand
out a bunch of random things. There is a difference
between pop music and country music. There is more availability
(12:33):
for tickets with country station stuff and country concerts.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Pop is not as easy and I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't want to get into the weeds of it,
but it's not We are a hall part of iHeart.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
We all work literally down the hall from K one
O two. But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I don't have an exact answer besides the fact that
it's just a little bits.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
It's different.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
It's almost different, like it's not different industries, but it's
very different.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I feel like what I've tried to like glean from
my short experience here is that it's easier to book
country artists to like come into the sky room or
to get tickets, like multiple tickets to you know, a
country artist who's performing in the Twin Cities at their
show at whatever place X Y z amphitheater or whatever,
(13:19):
versus Sabrina Carpenter is like so huge that she's not
gonna come into the station. Yeah. So like I get
that K one O two seems to get a lot
more stuff because it's probably easier to get those folks
on board with doing like events, like they're a boat
cruise thing that they did. Also, yes, right right, So
(13:41):
I think it's just easier to book those folks than
it is to book top forty artists.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
I feel you, though, emailer, because I wish we did
more stuff too.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
That would be great, right, Okay, sorry, I was super tired.
I'm just yawning into the microphone such a profect, I am. Okay,
we'll do one more email and then we're going to
save the rest for later in this week. This one
says hello to my favorite morning show, carew A week
or so ago, you had someone email in about what
they used to believe as a kid or something along
(14:13):
those lines.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Well, I have a good one that includes my dad.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
When I was younger, and I'm going to be honest
even still now as an adult, I didn't like eating
the crust of bread, so to get me to eat it,
my dad told me that that's where all the vitamins
and minerals are in the bread, the healthiest part. Fast
forward to last Easter. Somehow this topic got brought up
when eating dinner. I laughed and told my dad, Hey,
remember when you told me all the vitamins and minerals
(14:38):
were in the crust. My dad, mid chewing, freezes and
looks at me dumbfounded. He tells me, wait, I was
always told by my mom that the crust is the
healthiest part. I could see it slowly dawning on my
dad's face, how ridiculous it sounded, and we all had
a good laugh about it.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Ah. I always thought that too, though someone told me
that too.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I think that's like a regular tale.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That I've never heard that. I just have always liked
the crust, so I don't know. But anyways, I continue on.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
PS.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I got my kidb merch for the first time this
year at the fair, and I'm so excited to break
in the sweatshirt this fall. I've already been wearing mind
thanks guys. That comes from Alison.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, I listen. That is a really cute and funny story.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And I thought it was real. I thought all the
vitamins were in there. You know what I learned working
at Mill City Museum way back, which is just all
about flour, is that white bread is essentially just lacking vitamins.
So when you see it saying enriched white bread, enriched
is that they literally take the vitamins out when they
(15:40):
grind the like wheat to make the bread, and then
they put it back in so that white bread will
have some sort of nourishment because it truly does not
have any otherwise.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So that's enriched.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Fun fact.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That's why I like white bread so much. Value man.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I hammered some sandwiches this past weekend when I went
out in the van, and I use the potato bread
that Country So. I don't know if we've ever brought
this up on the Minnesota Goodbye, but basically Country Heart
is like a partner of the radio station or of iHeart,
and they drop off palate palate of bread every single week.
So we'll have potato bread, we'll have hot dog buns,
(16:19):
we'll have English muffins. Like anything that your carb heart desires.
We get it weekly and so I have not had
to purchase buns or bread this entire summer. And it's
been nice because I eat sandwiches when I go out
in the van all the time. I don't really like
cook cook a ton. I try to keep it pretty simple,
so that was nice to have that potato.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Bread this weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Very nice.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It's also very delicious always.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Okay, well, we have more emails than we're going to
get to the rest of home later this week, so
keep on emailing in The Ryan Show at katiewb dot com,
and thanks for listening.
