Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have an interesting decision to make. So somebody messaged
me on Instagram last night, or maybe it's it doesn't matter,
and they said, Okay, Dave, my husband is having a
birthday today Wednesday. We're going to a certain restaurant. And
I asked my husband, who would you like to have
dinner with, if you could have dinner with anybody, and
(00:20):
he said Dave Ryan. Oh okay, Wow, that's very flattering
and interesting. And she says, so here I go. We're
having dinner at this restaurant at seven o'clock on Wednesday night.
Here is your invitation to come join us for dinner.
She said, you'd miss one hundred percent of the shot
you don't take. So here is me taking a shot.
And I'm actually considering it. And I told Susan, I said,
(00:43):
that's very flattering. Yet at the same time, it's a
little bit weird. And I'm very flattered. But if I
took them up on it, I'd feel a little bit
like like I got hired, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, like you're an escort, got a work Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And it's like I'm sure they'd buy me dinner or whatever,
and and and Susan's like well, let's go buy and
we'll get dinner first, and then afterward we'll go over
to their table and say hi. And I'm like, I'm
surprised she was up for it. Yeah, but and so
I'm not complaining at all. But I'm definitely one of
these people that once I leave the station, I don't
need attention. Once I leave the station, I don't need
(01:25):
to go home or be Dave Ryan down at cub
or Buyer Lee's or you know, Dix. I'm just you know,
your neighborhood guy, and I don't need to be Dave
Ryan after hours. Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Absolutely? I fucking loved being in Morocco knowing not a
single person there or would ever know who I am,
Like they're not, and not that I care that people
like never ever. I love it. I love meeting people.
But there is just like a weird pressure when you're
out and someone's looking at you and you're like, is
it because I have a big piece of spinach in
(01:57):
my teeth? Or do you know who I am?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah? I know somebody who And this was really this
seemed kind of very odd to me. It was Super
Bowl Sunday. So they went on Facebook and they said, Hey,
if you want me to come to your super Bowl party,
message me and I'll come to your super Bowl party.
And sure enough they did. They found a random person
on Facebook who said, yeah, come to my super Bowl party,
(02:22):
and they did. And to me that was like, man,
I don't need that kind of attention.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeh.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I can spend Super Bowl Sunday, you know, by myself
or you know, with my friends or family or whatever.
But I think some people in our business really love
that attention.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Shaking hands, kissing babies, all of that jazz.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
We went to see Martin Short at a casino one time,
ten fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I thought, you hated him.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I don't like him, but don't I didn't mind him.
I don't like him in only murders in the building
because he's just over the top annoying. But you know,
we got invited or whatever, and the casino said, hey,
it's free, come on down. So we went and we
had a great time. Afterward, we were in the hotel
restaurant and Martin Short was having dinner with someone and
he was talking so loudly like he wanted everyone to know,
(03:11):
Oh my god, that's Martin Short over in the corner,
and I thought, here is a guy who loves being
noticed and famous. And again, like Jenny said, I don't mind.
I was at the gym last night. A woman says,
she says, Hi, are you Dave Ryan? And I said yeah.
She said I didn't know whether I should say hi
(03:32):
to you, or whether it's rude, or whether I'm interrupting
your workout and I said no, And I said no,
you're being terribly rude. And she laughed, and we talked
for probably fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And I said, so what do you come to the
gym for? And she's like, well, I'm turning fifteen next year.
Shout out, Jamie, if you're listening, I'm turning fifteen next year.
And I just want to, you know, kind of get
some of my old me back and muscles and you know,
fitness and whatever. And we just talked for like ten
or fifteen minutes, and I said, I'm really glad you.
I said, you gave me a break from my working out,
so I really appreciate it. So don't get us wrong.
(04:05):
We really appreciate when people want to acknowledge us, but
I don't need it. Yeah, you're not whereas what's.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
That tinker Bell she needs applause to live?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Is that a true story?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, well, like she dies and then you have to
clap your hands and she comes back to life. So
people say like, I'm not tinker Bell, I don't need
applause to live, or they'll say I am tinker Bell,
I need applause to live. Now.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
In your passion, which is performing like improv and theater
and things like that, you probably run across that a
lot where it's like some tell me about it.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Just like there's especially musical theater people. I would say
those people are definitely need applause to live type people.
So I mean I go to I go to a
lot of shows and everything, and I was just at
one on Monday called Musical Mondays, where it's essentially just
like a musical theater like cabaret type show, and tons
of musical theater people show up because it's Monday, and
(04:58):
so you don't have shows on Monday. So they all
show up and they all sit like right in the front.
They all are always like, Hi, oh Hi, what have
you got lined up?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Oh, it's so nice to see Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I just said quietly because I don't need to
be a part of that. Also, they don't know who
I am, even though I know who they are.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
But I'll stop you for a second. But you're more
famous than anybody in musical theater. Well, there I said it.
You are. You're on a big, giant radio station. Sure
you there might be somebody who is like the lead
in Fiddler, and they might think they're really fucking huge.
But you're on a big radio station. But you are
more well known and probably more interesting than the woman
(05:41):
who played the lead in Fiddler on the Roof.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
If they don't know who I am, though, then it
doesn't even matter, like I could be.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
They do, but they don't want to admit it.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't think they know who I am.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Can't fair enough.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I just think like if you if you're in a
group of people that and no one knows who you are,
even if you are justin Timberlake, if no one in
this group knows who you are, you're nobody.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's very well said. I mean, we could go to
Albert Lee, where the signal doesn't reach and the local
garbage hauler is more important than we are. Because you
don't know who we are. I'll just tell you a
little bit of a story where I kind of wanted
people to know who I am. There is a Colorado
Broadcasters Club, like former radio and TV people in Colorado,
(06:22):
and so some friends of mine said, Hey, I used
to work in Colorado radio, so come to our next lunch.
So I went to their lunch and a few of
my friends know that, like, hey, I'm in a giant
station in Minnesota and I've won this award and this
award or whatever. But the rest of them they didn't know.
And I'm looking around the table going these people were
like part timers at the jazz station, or this guy
(06:44):
was a camera operator over at Channel eleven. They're really
not a big deal, I thought, Because this is me.
I thought, I'm a way bigger deal than these people,
but they don't even know it. And I wasn't going
to stand up and go in case you don't know,
go ahead and google me. It's rand WB. But I
also didn't mind because they just treated me like everybody else. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I think the only time I ever want to be recognized,
like explicitly is if I'm on a date with regular guy.
I have yet to be recognized, and I want somebody
to walk up to me so bad and be like,
excuse me, aren't you Bailey because they think it'll make
me look cool.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I the second date I had with the guy that
I've been seeing, someone came up to me because we
were on a popular patio somewhere and they're like Jenny,
and I was like, yeah, and I think she had
had a couple of cocktails already because they want to
celebrating her birthday. She's like, I knew it was you.
I saw your hair and like, I think we had
just gotten done. Also talking about like what it's like
to be on radio and just like the public part
(07:42):
of it. And then she's like, are you too on
a date?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Then I was like and she's like, I know you are.
I listen to the show and I was like, okay, whatever,
So yeah, I mean shout out to her. I was
happy she said hi. It was just like crazy timing
with her saying that or coming up and saying hi,
and then I'm just.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Talking about, well, my thing is if we are important
enough for you to come up and say hi, then
you are important enough for me to spend a minute
or so saying hello to yeah, Because if I'm not important,
if you recognize because you used to listen in nineteen
ninety eight, and you're like, oh, that looks like Dave Ryan,
then I'm probably not that important to you. Then don't.
Then don't come up. You know what I mean. But
(08:21):
if we are, if you listen daily and you listen
to our show and you know Bailey and vont and Jenny,
and you know my dog's name, then we appreciate you
so much. Please feel free to come up and say hi,
and I will be more than happy to like chat
with you, probably to the point. And I told Jamie
last night, I said I talked too much. You're probably
going shit. I should have never said hi to Dave Ryan.
(08:42):
The motherfucker won't shut the fuck up. And she laughed
and Jamie, she's actually very funny. Okay, so there's that.
Let's get into the emails and see what we got.
Here we go. Question for Jenny, it's from a guy.
My girlfriend has not posted me on Instagram and we've
been together for six months. She still has pictures of
(09:02):
both her ex boyfriends, and I know for sure that
she posted them sooner than six months. I've never posted
someone on Instagram myself. Did you what do you think.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Jenny, I think that there is a new digital age
where if you remember the article that went viral like
a couple months ago where it said having a boyfriend
is embarrassing, Now, yes it's not. It was a very
clickbaity article, but it had a lot to do with
the fact that what happens is women will post their
significant other on social media and next thing they know,
(09:34):
they have other women coming out of the wood. Would
work being like, oh, I'm sleeping with that person or
oh I dated that person or whatever it is. And
so I think like a lot of people hold off
posting their partners because they're they just want to make
sure you're like so into each other, you're definitely not
seeing anyone else, Yeah, stuff like that. And I don't know,
I mean, like it takes me a long time to
(09:54):
post someone. And I get where you're coming from because
you said that she posted the other guys soon. But
I just think it's a little bit different nowadays because
I mean, there's just so much cheating out in the world,
and a lot of it revolves around social media. So
there's like a little bit of fear to post someone
for the first time. Like Sydney that used to come
on our show. She was like habitually dating just piece
(10:15):
of shit men who always she would find out after
like she hard launched them on social media that they
were sleeping with other people or dating a bunch of
other people, and so she kind of like held off
then ever posting guys for a long time because she
was like, I'm sick of this shit, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
See, I interpreted the whole like having a boyfriend is
embarrassing in like a different way where it's like, oh,
I've curated my like single independent woman lifestyle and now
I have a boyfriend and that's embarrassing, Like, oh, so
I'm not going to post him because then that'll like
kind of tarnish the brand of like single, independent, strong woman.
And that's how I feel usually where it's like, oh, hey, friend,
(10:52):
I haven't seen in a while, just so you know,
I have a boyfriend now. When I've like created this
whole like I don't need anybody kind of brand.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I think that's fucked up. And I'm gonna tell you
why we all want someone, Well, yeah, we all want
and to pretend that we don't want someone, And I'm
not saying every there's a lot of people who are
single and happy. And I know several women who are
wonderful and they're like, I don't want a boyfriend. And
it's like, but we all want generally someone to you know,
(11:21):
share our day with, or to make us feel adored,
or to make us feel attractive. And I think that's
where a lot of people is, Like I know so
many people who they don't want a boyfriend so they
can say, look at me, I've got a boyfriend. They
want a boyfriend or a partner so they can you know,
cuddle with somebody under a blanket and watch rom coms.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, but I would argue that if you are posting
your partner, like pretty quickly you are doing, you are
having a partner because of that, like look at me,
look I have a bos.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I would agree, Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I mean, I don't know if you said his name,
I can't remember what it was. But Michael, okay, Michael,
I would say, don't be concerned about it. And unless
you like in a year, she's still like not posting
a single thing, like if she's not even posting maybe
a story with you, then maybe that's and there.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Is something to that It's like I've known God, I
don't remember exactly who, but I've worked with people on
this show who are like, yeah, don't mention that I'm
seeing some guy. And the reason was because she was
still seeing another guy and she didn't want people, you know,
she didn't want guy number one to hear about guy
(12:29):
number two on the radio. And I don't remember all
the details, but I don't remember exactly who that was either,
So I will tell you this. It was not Fallon,
but I don't remember who it was. Okay, next one
kind of a weird one, but we'll read it anyway.
Anonymous want to bring up that. On Monday, during the show,
Jenny mentioned how the Weekend made history on Spotify, and
(12:50):
Vont talked about how the Weekend is underrated. But not
even two months ago, Vont talked on the Morning Show
and his own podcast, Monday Morning Commute how the Weekend
was overrated and didn't get the hype about him. I
love you, Vont, but please pick aside and stay there.
Sorry if that's snarky, but I had to say something,
l ol. Love y'all. Happy New Year. Do you remember
(13:11):
any of that? You don't listen to Vont's other podcast.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
No, I don't, but she I think they said that.
He said it on the show too. I think Vont
likes to contradict things a lot, just to be contradictory.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I guess what I was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yeah, So I think he says some things just to
like stir the pot, which is why he has his
feature of monsters the pot, and he doesn't necessarily always
mean them. And then he forgets what he said, and
then he actually says what he feels, which is that
the weekend is underrated.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
So I get that, And I think sometimes Vont and
I both get to do the polar opposite of something
just to keep it interesting. And it's kind of like
my theory goes like this, Like on Friends, if everybody
was as goofy as Phoebe, or everybody was as nerdy
as Ross, or everybody was like bro ish as Joey,
(14:02):
the show would have been stupid. Yeah, And that's why
there's so many different opposites on Friends or any classic
TV show. And kind of like on our show, if
everybody on the show agrees, I'll throw something out there stupid.
If everybody agrees that chicken wild Rice is the best
soup there is. Well, then it's boring, So one of
us on the show will take the polar opposite and
(14:24):
be like, oh god, no it's and Vont's really good
at doing that. Yeah, he is all right. Next one
from our friend Mike. He says, is there's something left
over from twenty twenty five that will you will do,
accomplish or fulfill in twenty twenty six, And off the
(14:44):
top of my head, the only thing that I can
think of that I want to do is kind of
really not a leftover. But Jenny brought this up the
other day when we made New Year's resolutions for each other,
climb a mountain in Colorado or somewhere that's not Pike's Peak,
and so I really want to do that. So I
think next year, instead of climbing Peak for the third time,
I will probably get do some exploring and find another
peak that's challenging but doable. You guys have anything that
(15:09):
comes to mind, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Mine would be to build out my van a little
bit more, because that was originally going to be a
plan when I had a partner, and that obviously was
no longer, so then I jumped into remodeling my kitchen instead,
and that's a project I can only do when it's
nice weather out, so like I'm currently at a stalemate
waiting till it's nice again to do anything with the van. Really,
(15:32):
so it's kind of a leftover from twenty twenty five
is to I really just want a sink. That's all
I fucking want is something.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
That seems like a pretty crucial thing.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I deal with no shower, I can deal with no
toilet and all that, and I don't want to have
a bunch of stuff in there because I like to
have the space that I have, but I just want
some running water, because that's just the most complicated part
of like cooking and doing dishes afterwards, or simply needing
to wash your hands real quick, and say I got
to get a big jug out, or I got to
get my plant spray, or I used to shower out
(16:02):
like all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
There is a thing, and my dad had one in
his camper van. It was not a real sink, but
it was a bladder with a nozzle on the end
of it. You've seen those, right, Yeah, Okay, I was
going to suggest that, but apparently you've heard of it.
I remember very clearly that being used for maybe drinking water,
but he put a little bowl underneath the other something
for washing your hands. And we went elk hunting one time.
(16:26):
Cleaning the elk, you get this disgusting, fleshy meat smell
on your hands, Okay, And I remember trying to walk
and I can still smell it. And this was in
high school, trying to use that little bladder trickling water
to wash the elk stink off my hands, and it
(16:46):
was just Bailey, it was just all nasty.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You learned really quickly when you don't have access to
running water that's like a faucet level of the like
the stream of the water, how much that matters, Like
the trickle of that To try to wash your hands
of something so aggressive, it's just like it's so different
than just being like pop your hands on her wristinkt such.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
A luxury, It really is such a luxury. Okay. Last
one this is from Ali. I'm writing to answer your
question if little girls still practice song and dance routines.
And we were talking about this because I think Jenny
brought it up, like you and your friends would practice
a spice girl routine or was it Bailey?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Bailey kind of brought up the question, Yeah, that like
so Jenny said that she used to like listen to
the Spice Girls and come up with like a little dance.
And that's like what I remember from being a kid
and being younger is that you would go over to
your friend's house and then you would want to convince
their parents that you could have a sleepover. So you
would create like a full choreograph number to whatever hit
(17:45):
song you wanted to choreograph a number two, and then
you would go and you'd show them and you'd be like, hey,
we want to sleepover. We prepared this performance for you,
and now we will do it. Thank you, and like
do this whole song and dance. And now I wonder, like,
do care still do that?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Allie says yes. My daughter is seven and a half
and at a recent played eight, she and her friend
spent hours making up a routine to a K pop
demon Hunter song and then performed it for us parents.
It was very cute hours and she's seven and a half.
Can you imagine how seriously you take that at seven
and a half? Yeah, because you really think you're doing
pretty good. You're really good.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I remember sitting and watching my she's not my real niece,
my fake niece. When she was like ten, she'd be like,
hold on, I want to do this dance for you.
Can you just like sit and watch me? And she
would just go on and on and on, and it
wasn't like good, but she was putting her all into it.
So I would sit and entertain it because it's at
least funny, like what.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Sure, and it's increag. You got to encourage them because
you do so good. I remember when I was a kid,
boys probably do that, but we did not. We put
together a play like a comedy play, yes, when I
was probably in second grade or so, and we called
it the Hippie Hour, and we spelled our oh you
are because we didn't know how to spell. And so
(19:02):
my friend's mom comes in the bedroom sits on a
chair like she's in the audience, and we hadn't practiced,
and we had lived through it, and I still remember
her looking her. She looked tired, she looked disheveled, she
looked really bored, and we kind of ad lived our
way through a couple of funny things and then she's like,
you guys, let me know when you practice more, and
I'll come back so on a side note, says Ali.
(19:26):
When I was little, my friends and I pretended to
be the Spice Girls. I was always scary Spice and
I also remember memorizing all the lines to the cheers
from Bring It On and performing I Love Rock and
Roll from the Britney Spears movie Good Times Crossroads. Question
for you all, sorry if you've already done this. If
you had to pick a word of the year for
(19:47):
twenty twenty six, what would it be? Please explain. I'm
gonna guess she means a word of the year from
twenty twenty five, because I don't know what the word
of the year would be yet for twenty twenty six.
I haven't had time to think about it.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I have an answer for this because I did an
exercise over the holidays that kind of involved this. I
would say that mine is resilience because I just feel
like I went through a pretty big life changing event
I didn't see coming in twenty twenty five, and I
got through it, and.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I, well, you're gonna tell us what happened anyway, because
everybody asked me all the time, everybody what happened with Jenny?
What happened? What happened, and I'm like, I don't know.
She won't tell us, So I make up stories and
I say that the guy was a drug mule. Yeah,
and he got arrested. He's now in Stillwater. So but anyway,
you had a bad year.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Resilience, Yeah, resilience just because I got through the year.
And I mean, I'm not going to sit and say
that I'm like so great now. I'm not. I still
struggle with things. But I also like did a lot
of shit to like make myself feel better. I didn't
just sit around and lay around. I started remodeling my kitchen,
I got out in the van.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Still, you've done so amazing with that stuff. You really have.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I really tried to like keep moving on in life.
So I feel like resilience was my word for twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I really like that because you a lot of people
when something bad happens, and I've been guilty of this.
Something bad happens and you just sink into the couch
and then you watch something and then it's like, you
know what sounds good, pizza roles, So you make a
big bowl of pizza rolls and then you sink into
the couch deeper than you take a nap and then
you wake up and you and so I really admire
(21:18):
you because I think a lot of people you have
busied and preoccupied your mind with something productive and meaningful.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, I mean, And I'm not gonna lie and say
that I didn't experience that. I experienced that for probably
a month, but then I knew I had to like
keep living on living my life. It was just like
a month of like I didn't know what my life
was because it just changed in the blink of an eye,
like the future. I thought, what happened?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Anyway, Shut the fuck up, I'm just trying to make conversation.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Words. I can't. I literally just looked it up because
I can't think of one word. But like, I had
to figure out what I accomplished in twenty twenty five
because it didn't really feel like anything that I usually
did as an accomplishment. But if you could make one
word putting yourself out there into one word, I would
say I put myself out there because I The only
(22:07):
thing I did differently in twenty twenty five that I
don't normally do is I went on seven I dated
seven different men. I went to like ten different pitch
of friend events, which are singles events. I did single
stuff like all year in order to find somebody to love.
So I think that was an accomplishment, even though it didn't.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It in a moment. Oh absolutely.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
And that's like after going from like a relationship that
was four years and then not anymore. So then it
was like, well, okay, I don't want to do this
trash for the rest of my life and just be alone.
So I yeah, put myself out there, if that was
a word.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I was just thinking about you the other day, Bailey,
just because of like hearing the updates with regular guy,
and I was like, man, Bailey didn't even want to
get on a dating now. No, I didn't have that stuff,
and now look at it. I was just so happy
for you.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Peak behind the Curtain. The only reason I got the
freaking dating app was because we had like this coach
guy say that that would make some really good content
and I was like, fine, I'll download the dating app.
Remember that consultant, Yeah, yeah, yeah, your the single thing.
People love the single thing. And I was like, yeah,
I was thinking about downloading hine.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
He's like, do it.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
We want to hear all about every hinge date you've
ever gone on. And it was cute because too I
got to like kind of do it with Katie Cap
And now she's got a boyfriend, so like, yeah, we
like we did the same We had essentially the same year,
so like we went on a bunch of hinge dates.
She went on eight billion more than I did, and
we went to a ton of those pitch of friend
events and it worked out for us, I guess.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
And you forget that you went on the Date Night podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
And I did go on the Date Night podcast.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
It was so fun.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Man, that was fun.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Well I was fun mineus how that ye treated you?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
But whatever?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Who he's He told me he wasn't attracted to me
and he had to like go out of his way
to tell me that he picked He didn't pick me
because I wasn't attractive.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
But mind you, they they had the absolute best date.
Because you watch people go on like three dates, it's
like a live podcast. Okay, So I went and Bailey
was the first one and everyone like rated her the highest.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, and that was the favorite.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I'll feel bad if this girl ever hears it, but whatever,
but he picked the girl who I thought was the
least entertaining. She didn't have much to say. She just
there wasn't much going on up there, honestly.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
But she's prettiest one.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
But see, and I didn't even think that she was like.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
That, Well it's all subjective. Yeah, no, I get that. Okay,
that was fun though, And.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, what was your word?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Thank you for asking? That's what I was waiting for.
I didn't know it. I was going to see whether
you noticed or not. I would say meaningful. And then,
and the reason I chose that was when this question
was first asked, what would the word of the year
be in twenty twenty five? I thought it meant like
six seven or you know, something like what's a trendy word?
But but I like Jenny's yours is resilient, So I
(24:54):
would say meaningful. And I think you get to a
point in your life where it's like I want to
have do something that's me meaningful. And I look at
this show sometimes from two different perspectives. I look at
it as like we do these silly things, we do
War of the Roses, and it's not to me, it's
not meaningful. It's just like a silly thing. Whatever we do.
(25:15):
Think fast and it's silly and it's not meaningful. We
do Dave's Dirt and it's silly and it's not meaningful.
But the meaning for me comes in not for me Dave,
but for the people who listen to the show. And
that's where it becomes meaningful. And what do I mean
by that? I mean that people who are having a
bad day, or are lonely, or maybe just broke up
(25:37):
or lost their mom or their dog is you know,
sick or whatever. War of the Roses, Dave's Dirt and
Think Fast become meaningful for you. And don't get me wrong,
it's not meaningless for me. I just don't care about
War of the Roses, you know what I mean? Does
that make any sense? And I don't care about War
of the Roses?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
You don't have a horse in the race?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I don't, and and I don't care about Think Fast.
I don't go God, you know, I'm really oh man,
Think Fastest. It's an epic part of my day. But
where it becomes meaningful is for the people who listen. Because,
unlike I think a lot of entertainers, if you want
to call us entertainers, I don't get a kick out
of being Dave, Ryan, I get a kick out of
(26:19):
you appreciating the show because I think in our life,
what do we all want mean? Yeah? What were you
going to say, Bailey? Money? Fair enough? Fair enough? But
I think at the end of your life, or you
know you, at whatever point in your life, you want meaning. Well,
you want to be a meaningful parent or a meaningful friend.
(26:43):
You know, you don't want to get up and change
your kid's diaper at one o'clock in the morning, give
them a bottle, no, but you need to because it's
you've got to have meaning. You don't want to go
to your kids' sports games every fucking weekend, but you
want your kid to remember Mom went to my soccer
games or my hockey games. So it's meaning doesn't make
(27:03):
any sense? Yeah, okay, good, I like that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I think that's a great word for you, Dave, Thank you, and.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That is going to do it. What is your word
for twenty twenty five? But I think it's a better
word for twenty twenty six And maybe that's what she meant.
So thank you Ali for that very meaningful email. Send
your email. Whether it's meaningful or stupid, we don't care.
We would just love to hear from you, Send it
to Ryan Show at kadiwb dot com.
I have an interesting decision to make. So somebody messaged
me on Instagram last night, or maybe it's it doesn't matter,
and they said, Okay, Dave, my husband is having a
birthday today Wednesday. We're going to a certain restaurant. And
I asked my husband, who would you like to have
dinner with, if you could have dinner with anybody, and
(00:20):
he said Dave Ryan. Oh okay, Wow, that's very flattering
and interesting. And she says, so here I go. We're
having dinner at this restaurant at seven o'clock on Wednesday night.
Here is your invitation to come join us for dinner.
She said, you'd miss one hundred percent of the shot
you don't take. So here is me taking a shot.
And I'm actually considering it. And I told Susan, I said,
(00:43):
that's very flattering. Yet at the same time, it's a
little bit weird. And I'm very flattered. But if I
took them up on it, I'd feel a little bit
like like I got hired, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, like you're an escort, got a work Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
And it's like I'm sure they'd buy me dinner or whatever,
and and and Susan's like well, let's go buy and
we'll get dinner first, and then afterward we'll go over
to their table and say hi. And I'm like, I'm
surprised she was up for it. Yeah, but and so
I'm not complaining at all. But I'm definitely one of
these people that once I leave the station, I don't
need attention. Once I leave the station, I don't need
(01:25):
to go home or be Dave Ryan down at cub
or Buyer Lee's or you know, Dix. I'm just you know,
your neighborhood guy, and I don't need to be Dave
Ryan after hours. Does that make sense?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Absolutely? I fucking loved being in Morocco knowing not a
single person there or would ever know who I am,
Like they're not, and not that I care that people
like never ever. I love it. I love meeting people.
But there is just like a weird pressure when you're
out and someone's looking at you and you're like, is
it because I have a big piece of spinach in
(01:57):
my teeth? Or do you know who I am?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah? I know somebody who And this was really this
seemed kind of very odd to me. It was Super
Bowl Sunday. So they went on Facebook and they said, Hey,
if you want me to come to your super Bowl party,
message me and I'll come to your super Bowl party.
And sure enough they did. They found a random person
on Facebook who said, yeah, come to my super Bowl party,
(02:22):
and they did. And to me that was like, man,
I don't need that kind of attention.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeh.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I can spend Super Bowl Sunday, you know, by myself
or you know, with my friends or family or whatever.
But I think some people in our business really love
that attention.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Shaking hands, kissing babies, all of that jazz.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
We went to see Martin Short at a casino one time,
ten fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I thought, you hated him.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I don't like him, but don't I didn't mind him.
I don't like him in only murders in the building
because he's just over the top annoying. But you know,
we got invited or whatever, and the casino said, hey,
it's free, come on down. So we went and we
had a great time. Afterward, we were in the hotel
restaurant and Martin Short was having dinner with someone and
he was talking so loudly like he wanted everyone to know,
(03:11):
Oh my god, that's Martin Short over in the corner,
and I thought, here is a guy who loves being
noticed and famous. And again, like Jenny said, I don't mind.
I was at the gym last night. A woman says,
she says, Hi, are you Dave Ryan? And I said yeah.
She said I didn't know whether I should say hi
(03:32):
to you, or whether it's rude, or whether I'm interrupting
your workout and I said no, And I said no,
you're being terribly rude. And she laughed, and we talked
for probably fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And I said, so what do you come to the
gym for? And she's like, well, I'm turning fifteen next year.
Shout out, Jamie, if you're listening, I'm turning fifteen next year.
And I just want to, you know, kind of get
some of my old me back and muscles and you know,
fitness and whatever. And we just talked for like ten
or fifteen minutes, and I said, I'm really glad you.
I said, you gave me a break from my working out,
so I really appreciate it. So don't get us wrong.
(04:05):
We really appreciate when people want to acknowledge us, but
I don't need it. Yeah, you're not whereas what's.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
That tinker Bell she needs applause to live?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Is that a true story?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, well, like she dies and then you have to
clap your hands and she comes back to life. So
people say like, I'm not tinker Bell, I don't need
applause to live, or they'll say I am tinker Bell,
I need applause to live. Now.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
In your passion, which is performing like improv and theater
and things like that, you probably run across that a
lot where it's like some tell me about it.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Just like there's especially musical theater people. I would say
those people are definitely need applause to live type people.
So I mean I go to I go to a
lot of shows and everything, and I was just at
one on Monday called Musical Mondays, where it's essentially just
like a musical theater like cabaret type show, and tons
of musical theater people show up because it's Monday, and
(04:58):
so you don't have shows on Monday. So they all
show up and they all sit like right in the front.
They all are always like, Hi, oh Hi, what have
you got lined up?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Oh, it's so nice to see Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I just said quietly because I don't need to
be a part of that. Also, they don't know who
I am, even though I know who they are.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
But I'll stop you for a second. But you're more
famous than anybody in musical theater. Well, there I said it.
You are. You're on a big, giant radio station. Sure
you there might be somebody who is like the lead
in Fiddler, and they might think they're really fucking huge.
But you're on a big radio station. But you are
more well known and probably more interesting than the woman
(05:41):
who played the lead in Fiddler on the Roof.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
If they don't know who I am, though, then it
doesn't even matter, like I could be.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
They do, but they don't want to admit it.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't think they know who I am.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Can't fair enough.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I just think like if you if you're in a
group of people that and no one knows who you are,
even if you are justin Timberlake, if no one in
this group knows who you are, you're nobody.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It's very well said. I mean, we could go to
Albert Lee, where the signal doesn't reach and the local
garbage hauler is more important than we are. Because you
don't know who we are. I'll just tell you a
little bit of a story where I kind of wanted
people to know who I am. There is a Colorado
Broadcasters Club, like former radio and TV people in Colorado,
(06:22):
and so some friends of mine said, Hey, I used
to work in Colorado radio, so come to our next lunch.
So I went to their lunch and a few of
my friends know that, like, hey, I'm in a giant
station in Minnesota and I've won this award and this
award or whatever. But the rest of them they didn't know.
And I'm looking around the table going these people were
like part timers at the jazz station, or this guy
(06:44):
was a camera operator over at Channel eleven. They're really
not a big deal, I thought, Because this is me.
I thought, I'm a way bigger deal than these people,
but they don't even know it. And I wasn't going
to stand up and go in case you don't know,
go ahead and google me. It's rand WB. But I
also didn't mind because they just treated me like everybody else. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I think the only time I ever want to be recognized,
like explicitly is if I'm on a date with regular guy.
I have yet to be recognized, and I want somebody
to walk up to me so bad and be like,
excuse me, aren't you Bailey because they think it'll make
me look cool.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I the second date I had with the guy that
I've been seeing, someone came up to me because we
were on a popular patio somewhere and they're like Jenny,
and I was like, yeah, and I think she had
had a couple of cocktails already because they want to
celebrating her birthday. She's like, I knew it was you.
I saw your hair and like, I think we had
just gotten done. Also talking about like what it's like
to be on radio and just like the public part
(07:42):
of it. And then she's like, are you too on
a date?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Then I was like and she's like, I know you are.
I listen to the show and I was like, okay, whatever,
So yeah, I mean shout out to her. I was
happy she said hi. It was just like crazy timing
with her saying that or coming up and saying hi,
and then I'm just.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Talking about, well, my thing is if we are important
enough for you to come up and say hi, then
you are important enough for me to spend a minute
or so saying hello to yeah, Because if I'm not important,
if you recognize because you used to listen in nineteen
ninety eight, and you're like, oh, that looks like Dave Ryan,
then I'm probably not that important to you. Then don't.
Then don't come up. You know what I mean. But
(08:21):
if we are, if you listen daily and you listen
to our show and you know Bailey and vont and Jenny,
and you know my dog's name, then we appreciate you
so much. Please feel free to come up and say hi,
and I will be more than happy to like chat
with you, probably to the point. And I told Jamie
last night, I said I talked too much. You're probably
going shit. I should have never said hi to Dave Ryan.
(08:42):
The motherfucker won't shut the fuck up. And she laughed
and Jamie, she's actually very funny. Okay, so there's that.
Let's get into the emails and see what we got.
Here we go. Question for Jenny, it's from a guy.
My girlfriend has not posted me on Instagram and we've
been together for six months. She still has pictures of
(09:02):
both her ex boyfriends, and I know for sure that
she posted them sooner than six months. I've never posted
someone on Instagram myself. Did you what do you think.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Jenny, I think that there is a new digital age
where if you remember the article that went viral like
a couple months ago where it said having a boyfriend
is embarrassing, Now, yes it's not. It was a very
clickbaity article, but it had a lot to do with
the fact that what happens is women will post their
significant other on social media and next thing they know,
(09:34):
they have other women coming out of the wood. Would
work being like, oh, I'm sleeping with that person or
oh I dated that person or whatever it is. And
so I think like a lot of people hold off
posting their partners because they're they just want to make
sure you're like so into each other, you're definitely not
seeing anyone else, Yeah, stuff like that. And I don't know,
I mean, like it takes me a long time to
(09:54):
post someone. And I get where you're coming from because
you said that she posted the other guys soon. But
I just think it's a little bit different nowadays because
I mean, there's just so much cheating out in the world,
and a lot of it revolves around social media. So
there's like a little bit of fear to post someone
for the first time. Like Sydney that used to come
on our show. She was like habitually dating just piece
(10:15):
of shit men who always she would find out after
like she hard launched them on social media that they
were sleeping with other people or dating a bunch of
other people, and so she kind of like held off
then ever posting guys for a long time because she
was like, I'm sick of this shit, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
See, I interpreted the whole like having a boyfriend is
embarrassing in like a different way where it's like, oh,
I've curated my like single independent woman lifestyle and now
I have a boyfriend and that's embarrassing, Like, oh, so
I'm not going to post him because then that'll like
kind of tarnish the brand of like single, independent, strong woman.
And that's how I feel usually where it's like, oh, hey, friend,
(10:52):
I haven't seen in a while, just so you know,
I have a boyfriend now. When I've like created this
whole like I don't need anybody kind of brand.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I think that's fucked up. And I'm gonna tell you
why we all want someone, Well, yeah, we all want
and to pretend that we don't want someone, And I'm
not saying every there's a lot of people who are
single and happy. And I know several women who are
wonderful and they're like, I don't want a boyfriend. And
it's like, but we all want generally someone to you know,
(11:21):
share our day with, or to make us feel adored,
or to make us feel attractive. And I think that's
where a lot of people is, Like I know so
many people who they don't want a boyfriend so they
can say, look at me, I've got a boyfriend. They
want a boyfriend or a partner so they can you know,
cuddle with somebody under a blanket and watch rom coms.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, but I would argue that if you are posting
your partner, like pretty quickly you are doing, you are
having a partner because of that, like look at me,
look I have a bos.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I would agree, Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I mean, I don't know if you said his name,
I can't remember what it was. But Michael, okay, Michael,
I would say, don't be concerned about it. And unless
you like in a year, she's still like not posting
a single thing, like if she's not even posting maybe
a story with you, then maybe that's and there.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Is something to that It's like I've known God, I
don't remember exactly who, but I've worked with people on
this show who are like, yeah, don't mention that I'm
seeing some guy. And the reason was because she was
still seeing another guy and she didn't want people, you know,
she didn't want guy number one to hear about guy
(12:29):
number two on the radio. And I don't remember all
the details, but I don't remember exactly who that was either,
So I will tell you this. It was not Fallon,
but I don't remember who it was. Okay, next one
kind of a weird one, but we'll read it anyway.
Anonymous want to bring up that. On Monday, during the show,
Jenny mentioned how the Weekend made history on Spotify, and
(12:50):
Vont talked about how the Weekend is underrated. But not
even two months ago, Vont talked on the Morning Show
and his own podcast, Monday Morning Commute how the Weekend
was overrated and didn't get the hype about him. I
love you, Vont, but please pick aside and stay there.
Sorry if that's snarky, but I had to say something,
l ol. Love y'all. Happy New Year. Do you remember
(13:11):
any of that? You don't listen to Vont's other podcast.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
No, I don't, but she I think they said that.
He said it on the show too. I think Vont
likes to contradict things a lot, just to be contradictory.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I guess what I was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Yeah, So I think he says some things just to
like stir the pot, which is why he has his
feature of monsters the pot, and he doesn't necessarily always
mean them. And then he forgets what he said, and
then he actually says what he feels, which is that
the weekend is underrated.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
So I get that, And I think sometimes Vont and
I both get to do the polar opposite of something
just to keep it interesting. And it's kind of like
my theory goes like this, Like on Friends, if everybody
was as goofy as Phoebe, or everybody was as nerdy
as Ross, or everybody was like bro ish as Joey,
(14:02):
the show would have been stupid. Yeah, And that's why
there's so many different opposites on Friends or any classic
TV show. And kind of like on our show, if
everybody on the show agrees, I'll throw something out there stupid.
If everybody agrees that chicken wild Rice is the best
soup there is. Well, then it's boring, So one of
us on the show will take the polar opposite and
(14:24):
be like, oh god, no it's and Vont's really good
at doing that. Yeah, he is all right. Next one
from our friend Mike. He says, is there's something left
over from twenty twenty five that will you will do,
accomplish or fulfill in twenty twenty six, And off the
(14:44):
top of my head, the only thing that I can
think of that I want to do is kind of
really not a leftover. But Jenny brought this up the
other day when we made New Year's resolutions for each other,
climb a mountain in Colorado or somewhere that's not Pike's Peak,
and so I really want to do that. So I
think next year, instead of climbing Peak for the third time,
I will probably get do some exploring and find another
peak that's challenging but doable. You guys have anything that
(15:09):
comes to mind, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Mine would be to build out my van a little
bit more, because that was originally going to be a
plan when I had a partner, and that obviously was
no longer, so then I jumped into remodeling my kitchen instead,
and that's a project I can only do when it's
nice weather out, so like I'm currently at a stalemate
waiting till it's nice again to do anything with the van. Really,
(15:32):
so it's kind of a leftover from twenty twenty five
is to I really just want a sink. That's all
I fucking want is something.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
That seems like a pretty crucial thing.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I deal with no shower, I can deal with no
toilet and all that, and I don't want to have
a bunch of stuff in there because I like to
have the space that I have, but I just want
some running water, because that's just the most complicated part
of like cooking and doing dishes afterwards, or simply needing
to wash your hands real quick, and say I got
to get a big jug out, or I got to
get my plant spray, or I used to shower out
(16:02):
like all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
There is a thing, and my dad had one in
his camper van. It was not a real sink, but
it was a bladder with a nozzle on the end
of it. You've seen those, right, Yeah, Okay, I was
going to suggest that, but apparently you've heard of it.
I remember very clearly that being used for maybe drinking water,
but he put a little bowl underneath the other something
for washing your hands. And we went elk hunting one time.
(16:26):
Cleaning the elk, you get this disgusting, fleshy meat smell
on your hands, Okay, And I remember trying to walk
and I can still smell it. And this was in
high school, trying to use that little bladder trickling water
to wash the elk stink off my hands, and it
(16:46):
was just Bailey, it was just all nasty.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You learned really quickly when you don't have access to
running water that's like a faucet level of the like
the stream of the water, how much that matters, Like
the trickle of that To try to wash your hands
of something so aggressive, it's just like it's so different
than just being like pop your hands on her wristinkt such.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
A luxury, It really is such a luxury. Okay. Last
one this is from Ali. I'm writing to answer your
question if little girls still practice song and dance routines.
And we were talking about this because I think Jenny
brought it up, like you and your friends would practice
a spice girl routine or was it Bailey?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Bailey kind of brought up the question, Yeah, that like
so Jenny said that she used to like listen to
the Spice Girls and come up with like a little dance.
And that's like what I remember from being a kid
and being younger is that you would go over to
your friend's house and then you would want to convince
their parents that you could have a sleepover. So you
would create like a full choreograph number to whatever hit
(17:45):
song you wanted to choreograph a number two, and then
you would go and you'd show them and you'd be like, hey,
we want to sleepover. We prepared this performance for you,
and now we will do it. Thank you, and like
do this whole song and dance. And now I wonder, like,
do care still do that?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Allie says yes. My daughter is seven and a half
and at a recent played eight, she and her friend
spent hours making up a routine to a K pop
demon Hunter song and then performed it for us parents.
It was very cute hours and she's seven and a half.
Can you imagine how seriously you take that at seven
and a half? Yeah, because you really think you're doing
pretty good. You're really good.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I remember sitting and watching my she's not my real niece,
my fake niece. When she was like ten, she'd be like,
hold on, I want to do this dance for you.
Can you just like sit and watch me? And she
would just go on and on and on, and it
wasn't like good, but she was putting her all into it.
So I would sit and entertain it because it's at
least funny, like what.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Sure, and it's increag. You got to encourage them because
you do so good. I remember when I was a kid,
boys probably do that, but we did not. We put
together a play like a comedy play, yes, when I
was probably in second grade or so, and we called
it the Hippie Hour, and we spelled our oh you
are because we didn't know how to spell. And so
(19:02):
my friend's mom comes in the bedroom sits on a
chair like she's in the audience, and we hadn't practiced,
and we had lived through it, and I still remember
her looking her. She looked tired, she looked disheveled, she
looked really bored, and we kind of ad lived our
way through a couple of funny things and then she's like,
you guys, let me know when you practice more, and
I'll come back so on a side note, says Ali.
(19:26):
When I was little, my friends and I pretended to
be the Spice Girls. I was always scary Spice and
I also remember memorizing all the lines to the cheers
from Bring It On and performing I Love Rock and
Roll from the Britney Spears movie Good Times Crossroads. Question
for you all, sorry if you've already done this. If
you had to pick a word of the year for
(19:47):
twenty twenty six, what would it be? Please explain. I'm
gonna guess she means a word of the year from
twenty twenty five, because I don't know what the word
of the year would be yet for twenty twenty six.
I haven't had time to think about it.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I have an answer for this because I did an
exercise over the holidays that kind of involved this. I
would say that mine is resilience because I just feel
like I went through a pretty big life changing event
I didn't see coming in twenty twenty five, and I
got through it, and.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
I, well, you're gonna tell us what happened anyway, because
everybody asked me all the time, everybody what happened with Jenny?
What happened? What happened, and I'm like, I don't know.
She won't tell us, So I make up stories and
I say that the guy was a drug mule. Yeah,
and he got arrested. He's now in Stillwater. So but anyway,
you had a bad year.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Resilience, Yeah, resilience just because I got through the year.
And I mean, I'm not going to sit and say
that I'm like so great now. I'm not. I still
struggle with things. But I also like did a lot
of shit to like make myself feel better. I didn't
just sit around and lay around. I started remodeling my kitchen,
I got out in the van.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Still, you've done so amazing with that stuff. You really have.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I really tried to like keep moving on in life.
So I feel like resilience was my word for twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I really like that because you a lot of people
when something bad happens, and I've been guilty of this.
Something bad happens and you just sink into the couch
and then you watch something and then it's like, you
know what sounds good, pizza roles, So you make a
big bowl of pizza rolls and then you sink into
the couch deeper than you take a nap and then
you wake up and you and so I really admire
(21:18):
you because I think a lot of people you have
busied and preoccupied your mind with something productive and meaningful.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, I mean, And I'm not gonna lie and say
that I didn't experience that. I experienced that for probably
a month, but then I knew I had to like
keep living on living my life. It was just like
a month of like I didn't know what my life
was because it just changed in the blink of an eye,
like the future. I thought, what happened?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Anyway, Shut the fuck up, I'm just trying to make conversation.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Words. I can't. I literally just looked it up because
I can't think of one word. But like, I had
to figure out what I accomplished in twenty twenty five
because it didn't really feel like anything that I usually
did as an accomplishment. But if you could make one
word putting yourself out there into one word, I would
say I put myself out there because I The only
(22:07):
thing I did differently in twenty twenty five that I
don't normally do is I went on seven I dated
seven different men. I went to like ten different pitch
of friend events, which are singles events. I did single
stuff like all year in order to find somebody to love.
So I think that was an accomplishment, even though it didn't.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
It in a moment. Oh absolutely.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
And that's like after going from like a relationship that
was four years and then not anymore. So then it
was like, well, okay, I don't want to do this
trash for the rest of my life and just be alone.
So I yeah, put myself out there, if that was
a word.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I was just thinking about you the other day, Bailey,
just because of like hearing the updates with regular guy,
and I was like, man, Bailey didn't even want to
get on a dating now. No, I didn't have that stuff,
and now look at it. I was just so happy
for you.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Peak behind the Curtain. The only reason I got the
freaking dating app was because we had like this coach
guy say that that would make some really good content
and I was like, fine, I'll download the dating app.
Remember that consultant, Yeah, yeah, yeah, your the single thing.
People love the single thing. And I was like, yeah,
I was thinking about downloading hine.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
He's like, do it.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
We want to hear all about every hinge date you've
ever gone on. And it was cute because too I
got to like kind of do it with Katie Cap
And now she's got a boyfriend, so like, yeah, we
like we did the same We had essentially the same year,
so like we went on a bunch of hinge dates.
She went on eight billion more than I did, and
we went to a ton of those pitch of friend
events and it worked out for us, I guess.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
And you forget that you went on the Date Night podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
And I did go on the Date Night podcast.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
It was so fun.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Man, that was fun.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Well I was fun mineus how that ye treated you?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
But whatever?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Who he's He told me he wasn't attracted to me
and he had to like go out of his way
to tell me that he picked He didn't pick me
because I wasn't attractive.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
But mind you, they they had the absolute best date.
Because you watch people go on like three dates, it's
like a live podcast. Okay, So I went and Bailey
was the first one and everyone like rated her the highest.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, and that was the favorite.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I'll feel bad if this girl ever hears it, but whatever,
but he picked the girl who I thought was the
least entertaining. She didn't have much to say. She just
there wasn't much going on up there, honestly.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
But she's prettiest one.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
But see, and I didn't even think that she was like.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
That, Well it's all subjective. Yeah, no, I get that. Okay,
that was fun though, And.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, what was your word?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Thank you for asking? That's what I was waiting for.
I didn't know it. I was going to see whether
you noticed or not. I would say meaningful. And then,
and the reason I chose that was when this question
was first asked, what would the word of the year
be in twenty twenty five? I thought it meant like
six seven or you know, something like what's a trendy word?
But but I like Jenny's yours is resilient, So I
(24:54):
would say meaningful. And I think you get to a
point in your life where it's like I want to
have do something that's me meaningful. And I look at
this show sometimes from two different perspectives. I look at
it as like we do these silly things, we do
War of the Roses, and it's not to me, it's
not meaningful. It's just like a silly thing. Whatever we do.
(25:15):
Think fast and it's silly and it's not meaningful. We
do Dave's Dirt and it's silly and it's not meaningful.
But the meaning for me comes in not for me Dave,
but for the people who listen to the show. And
that's where it becomes meaningful. And what do I mean
by that? I mean that people who are having a
bad day, or are lonely, or maybe just broke up
(25:37):
or lost their mom or their dog is you know,
sick or whatever. War of the Roses, Dave's Dirt and
Think Fast become meaningful for you. And don't get me wrong,
it's not meaningless for me. I just don't care about
War of the Roses, you know what I mean? Does
that make any sense? And I don't care about War
of the Roses?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
You don't have a horse in the race?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I don't, and and I don't care about Think Fast.
I don't go God, you know, I'm really oh man,
Think Fastest. It's an epic part of my day. But
where it becomes meaningful is for the people who listen. Because,
unlike I think a lot of entertainers, if you want
to call us entertainers, I don't get a kick out
of being Dave, Ryan, I get a kick out of
(26:19):
you appreciating the show because I think in our life,
what do we all want mean? Yeah? What were you
going to say, Bailey? Money? Fair enough? Fair enough? But
I think at the end of your life, or you
know you, at whatever point in your life, you want meaning. Well,
you want to be a meaningful parent or a meaningful friend.
(26:43):
You know, you don't want to get up and change
your kid's diaper at one o'clock in the morning, give
them a bottle, no, but you need to because it's
you've got to have meaning. You don't want to go
to your kids' sports games every fucking weekend, but you
want your kid to remember Mom went to my soccer
games or my hockey games. So it's meaning doesn't make
(27:03):
any sense? Yeah, okay, good, I like that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
I think that's a great word for you, Dave, Thank you, and.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
That is going to do it. What is your word
for twenty twenty five? But I think it's a better
word for twenty twenty six And maybe that's what she meant.
So thank you Ali for that very meaningful email. Send
your email. Whether it's meaningful or stupid, we don't care.
We would just love to hear from you, Send it
