Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, we are ready to go for the Minnesota Goodbye.
We're gonna start off with one Nita's weekly rant. One
take it away, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
So, in case I don't get a chance to get
on known Folk screen of Friday Bainley, I just want
to say happy birthday, thanks so on to the ramp.
So if this week's rent is about the assholes that
hold up traffic, So you know, when you're driving along
and then all of a sudden you see that the
traffic is backed up. You're inching up, You're inching up,
and you're inching up. Then you finally get up to
(00:31):
the point to where you can see why the traffic
is stopped. It's because some fucking idiots is looking at
the goddamn cop pulled got somebody pulled over. Nothing's really happening.
They just got somebody pulled over. Stop fucking being nosy.
Take your ass on. I don't have time to sit
here behind your ass while you want to sit and
figure out, oh, well, what did he do? Why did
you get pulled over? What are they're talking about? It's
(00:52):
none of your fucking business.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Just move.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I got shit to do, I got places to go.
Nobody has time for this shit. Just because the cops
got somebody pulled over don't mean that you have to
sit there and analyze as to what the fuck is
going on. None of your goddamn business. Goddamn it, that
shit pisses me the fuck off. Yeah, well that's my
rint for this week. I love you guys, bye.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Love you back. I remember I was driving on four
ninety four one time a really long backup got up
to the backup. What was on the side of the
road a bail of hay. Wow, a bail of hay.
People had to slow down and look at the bail
of hay.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I hate it when you're backed up and then you
get to the point where it starts to break up
and you're just like, there was nothing, nothing was here.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Eh.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
That is always confusing a ghost nothing, What is happening?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Like, was there a cop that had someone pulled over
and now they're not there anymore?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, we're just repercussions from that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Uh all right, next one. Okay, it's interesting. It's a
little bit long, but I'm gonna read it anyway. We're
talking about near death experiences. I don't know if this
came up on the show. Earlier. But here's the story.
I'm thirteen years old. We're in Florida, We're swimming in
the ocean, and it was cold, middle the week November.
Basically nobody on the beach that We started to swim
(02:03):
out with my dad and all of a sudden realized
the waves were too big. My dad was trying to
swim with me and my twelve year old brother back
to the shore and realized he couldn't do it. He
said he was going to swim back to the shore
and get help. Now. Whenever we discussed this story as adults,
my dad still gets choked up remembering how he had
to leave us. Now, he didn't just leave them. They
(02:23):
were on a floatable little like little rafty thing. Yeah,
my brother and I were both holding onto a plastic
inflatable float bobbing in the ocean. A huge wave hit
and my brother was torn away from me. Another wave
hit and the inflatable was torn out of my arms.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
As I started to go under out of nowhere, I
felt someone grab my arms and pull me up. It
took me a minute to realize it was a lifeguard
with one of those boards that I'd only seen on
baywatchow As they pulled me out of the sand, it
was basically naked, as the waves had hit my back
so many times they broke my swimsuit, so my little
teenage body that had just grown boobs was completely exposed
(02:58):
to the world. My mom was hugging me into the
craziness of realizing I had just escaped death. We realized
the lifeguards that had saved us were nowhere to be found.
No one saw where they came from or where they went.
I don't really know how I feel about or believe
in guardian angels, but my aunt and my mom believe
it was an angel of some kind. I sure would
(03:21):
love to thank them, but we never found out who
they were.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Have you guys ever had a near death experience or
witness an angel of some kind? Thank you, Becky. I
have not, but that's an amazing story.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
That's wild.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
When you said you got like pulled up, I thought, Oh,
what if like she breaks out of the water and
then no one's there. Oh, but I guess that's kind
of a thing, like we could never find them.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
That's so cool. I always think that stuff is so neat.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I've never had a near death experience and or a
guardian angel save me. But that sounds dope but obviously
terrifying because I would never want to drown in an ocean.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Here's an email about you, Bailey. Been in a huge
fan for twenty years plus. I listened to pretty much
every podcast in the morning show, Fallon and Cold. I'm
still fun, needless to say, my daughter also gets to hear,
except for the unfiltered ones. We went to the Renaissance
Festival this past Sunday, got to meet Bailey my daughter Tessa. Yes, Tessa,
I was so excited to meet a celebrity. She told
(04:15):
me that it was her favorite part of Renfest. She
even got Bailey's autograph and pictures with Bailey. I know
that listeners can't see the pictures, but I attached them,
especially her proud autograph that she now keeps on her desk.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Boot No, she was so sweet. Tessa was so nice.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I met Tessa and Royce and they were so jazzed
to meet me, and that's always so.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Like surreal in general.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
But I think I gave Tessa a chocolate covered strawberry
because we sell chocolate cover strawberries and sometimes when people
are really nice, I'm just like, es.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Here you go. Is the Renaissance Festival done? Now?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
We have one more weekend, one more week so I
work Sunday and that's it for this season.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, I haven't been out there yet. I still kind
of want to get out there.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, if you want to come on Sunday, I'll give
you a chocolate cover strawberry.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, we're gonna have the girls this weekend, and I'm
not sure. I don't know how they would do at
the Renaissance Festival. Yeah, it's a lot of walking.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, I feel like the older one would have fun,
but maybe not the younger.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I would be pushing a stroller on dirt.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
On rocks and.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Cliff maybe not. Sammy writes, saying hello to my favorite
radio show friends. Sammy here with my second email to
the Minnesota Goodbye. I'm just leaving Target and had this
thought pop into my head and immediately felt like it
was something I had to share with you guys. I
feel like, without fail, every single time I go to
the store, as I'm walking back to my car, the
person that has parked next to me is also always
(05:34):
getting to their car. Does that ever happen to you?
Guys of course there are others in the parking lot
walking to their cars too, but how often is it
that the person parked right next to you is also
getting in their car. So strange. I've never noticed that before.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Me neither, but I have noticed weird like a coincidence
is when you're going on a walk and somebody's walking
towards you with their dog. Their dog always decides to
poop right as you're passing.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Because I have no audience.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Okay, I think it's every time if I was walking
a dog, the dog would choose to poop when someone
else was walking by because they want an audience.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
They're like, oh, someone's here, I'll poop right now.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And that It's funny because when they poop, they always
get kind of a shy like OOKU Like they look
the other way. They don't want to make eye contact
with you while they're pooping. Yeah, so uh, anyway, weird topic.
Want to see if that happens to anybody else, says Sammy.
I would also love a staff writer sticker. If you
still have then, Yes, Secretary Brie is on the case.
I've been listening to The Dave Ryan Show since I
(06:31):
was in elementary school for reference. I'm twenty nine now
and I just love you guys. I'll put my address
below for that staff writer sticker, we love you back,
thank you. I just sneezed, says Katie, and my coworker
said bless you. Last week somebody wrote in about this topic.
Pretty sure you weren't there for that, Dave, and nobody
else weigh in, So I'm going to do that. I
(06:52):
feel so uncomfortable with the social norm of blessing people
after they sneeze. For one thing, I don't think I
personally have the authority to bless people. Why do people
want to be acknowledged for sneezing. We don't do that
for other bodily functions. Some alternatives. If you must recognize
a person for sneezing, Hey you sneezed, Congratulations Godzilla, and
(07:12):
my favorite, shut up. There's a story behind this one.
In class one day, it's quiet, somebody sneezes. The girl
in the class shot an annoyed look at the sneezer
and said, shut up. I still get the cackles whenever
I think about it. I borrow this a few times.
How rude, that's not rude, up, that's rude. I don't
(07:33):
think that's funny at all. Next one, Sydney writes in
with questions that we don't want to answer the Dave
in regard to the dart Lick episode. Are you well versed?
Not gonna answer that question? Next one, Jenny, I'm sure
(07:53):
you're dreading this topic the most, so my attempt not
to ask about your recent breakup. Instead, I will ask
you how long has it been since you've enjoyed the
love and with another human? You don't have to answer.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I don't really care.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
I haven't had sex since my last relationship, so it's
been six months.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Bailey. Have you had sex with a woman?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
No, okay, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Uh. Well, I'm hopefully I made you blush or even
learn more about you. I always want to email, but
I usually listen while driving, so never remember what I
wanted to say once I'm sitting down with my phone.
Have a wonderful week. Excited to hear your answers or
other people's questions to get you cheers from staff writer Sydney.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Like our answers weren't as exciting as Sydney wanted them
to be.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Just no, nope, end nope, nope, uh okay. Next one, guys,
this is more for the show, but I'll throw it
out there anyway. Crystal writes in I went to see
the movie hym on Friday. I was excited to think
it was another Jordan Peele movie. I liked get Out
and Nope. As I was watching the previews and the
(08:56):
manager brought my case, Ada must been one of them
fancy theaters.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Gee.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
He talked to me a bit about it. I was
alone in the theater at the time. He had seen
it the night before. I learned from him that it
was not a Jordan Peele movie, as the previews led
us to believe. He did not direct it. His production
team was just involved in the movie. That being said,
it was not a horror movie. There was no suspense
in the maybe the last ten minutes was pointless. Gore. Oh,
it was a social commentary on the violent nature of football.
(09:23):
I didn't love it. I can't say I even liked it,
but I was not distracted by my phone and eight
snacks in the dark for twelve for two hours, so
that's a win. It also had a twenty eight percent
rating on Rotten Tomatoes. If that tells you anything, which
is bad, yeahs bad.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I mean, the concept sounds interesting.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I love a social commentary in general, and I like
the idea like, hey, football is too it's too violent,
so let's not have it be violent.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
But it's a bummer that the movie sucked.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh well, football is violent. And I think one of
the things is like it is such a glamorous sport
to play. I mean, every high school has a football
team and kids get you know, broken ribs or concussions
or whatever all the time, but it's still people still
love to play football because it is like, oh my god,
(10:14):
you had the winning touchdown against chan Hassen on Friday night. Wow,
you're a hero.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I could go back.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I would back in the day. I could throw football
quarter mile. I bet I could throw football over the mountains. Really. Wow,
if we could go.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Back, Napoleon dynamite everybody.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, thank you. You were asking recently about parents adult
about adults whose parents were divorced. My parents were married
forty years and I was thirty two when they got divorced.
My mom decided to have a midlife crisis and leave
my dad for a man who was a raging alcoholic.
Oh and ultimately he died from that disease. When my
(10:56):
parents were married. My mom took care of every single
thing financially. My dad doesn't even know how to write
a check or pay a bill. We were blind sided
when she left and my dad didn't know how to
take care of himself. I had to instantly take care
of everything. It's been five years. I haven't talked to
my mom in five years, and I am one hundred
percent responsible for my dad. I pay all his bills.
(11:18):
I make sure everything is handled. Don't take the wrong way,
but my dad's He is independent, lives alone, and can
physically take care of himself. But the burden of handling
all the finances has fallen on me. If I do them,
I just know it's done and it's done correctly. And
you cannot teach a sixty year old man technology and
bills when he's never done any of it. I think
(11:39):
that's on him. You absolutely should be able.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
To he's definitely special learn hopeless.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Well, Yeah, not to burden your daughter with that, Yeah,
anyway to wrap it up, maybe it was the circumstances
of why they divorced, but I wish they had divorced
when I was a kid. Being an adult doesn't make
it any easier. I cannot comprehend it this day. Why
my mom just a life with a man who was
always so drunk he'd poop himself was way better than
(12:05):
life with a man who simply just worked a lot. Wow.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I mean, I'm not condoning the new man she went for,
but it doesn't honestly sound like your dad was a
great partner either. It sounded like your mom had to
like him like a child, and that is why so
many women leave their partners. It's exhausting when you get
into a relationship where you become the mother to your partner.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I'm sure, Okay, interesting talking about baby names. This is
a plethora of a cornucopia of email subjects today, and
I like it. Abby says, I can't remember what made
me think about this, but I found that interesting when
trying to name my son and now pregnant with our
second baby, we use the Social Security baby name site.
(12:50):
You can search by state or certain year to see
what baby names are popular. It's super interesting if you
need a lot of a list of names. It might
also be an interesting bit you for a bit on
what year certain names were popular. Anyway, I enjoyed listening
to you guys every day from Abby. We've kind of
done that before, haven't we. Okay, going for example here,
I just pulled up a Social Security baby name list
(13:11):
for the nineteen nineties. Number one boy named Michael, Christopher, Matthew, Joshua,
and Jacob. Number one girl named Jessica, Ashley, Emily, Sarah
and Samantha. Let's go back to another decade. Let's go
back to the nineteen tens. Nineteen tens, John William, James,
(13:34):
Robert and Joseph, Females Mary, Helen, Dorothy, Margaret and Ruth.
Mildred was actually at number six, really, which surprises me
a little bit. Evelyn was at number twelve, and Evelyn
is back because my daughter Alison named her girl Evelyn.
Also in there that some of these are come back. Marie, Alice, Florence, Lillian, Rose, Irene, Louise, Edna,
(14:01):
Gladys Ethel was number twenty two. Grace Hazel, Thelma, Lucille, Edith,
Eleanor Doris, Annie, Pauline, Gertrude, which I've always thought was
a really ugly name.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I'm sorry, Yeah, this sounds bad coming out.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Esther Betty, Beatrice, Marjorie. There's a name I never hear
anymore and it goes on. Mabel was number sixty one.
That is definitely an old name, but I'll bet it's
coming back here and there.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I like what the old names that they have a
lot of elongated vowels. Those are always my favorite ones,
like Eleanor is a very vowel heavy, Otis is vowel heavy.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Henrietta maybe, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I just love a vowel.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Ula Eula was a name back in the day.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I like that. That's cute. I've never even heard that name.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I never have either.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, I've heard Uleayla.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Now Here's Cleo. Cleo was the one hundred and ninety
third most popular name in the nineteen tens. But I
know a baby Cleo now. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, I have a friend named Cleo. Wow. She always
says it's Cleo, not Chloe.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
That's literally her Instagram handle.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I always think of I think of that, like, I
wish more parents did that when they were naming their kids,
Like what will my kid have to say over and
over and over again. I feel bad because I have
a friend that I saw yesterday and his name is
Danillo and it's a Ukrainian name, so I'm sure it
makes sense.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
In Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
But he says, if like he's ordering something and they
say what's the name on it, he'll just say Dan
because he's not about to try and explain Denillo.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
And that's what.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
So.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I had a roommate named Nyantuo, and she would tell
our back when we'd take cabs, Yeah, like what my
she'd say Jenny for the name instead of ionto. Or
when she'd meet people out in public, she would literally
point to her iye, she'd go I. She would yawn
with her mouth, yeah, the number two with her fingers out.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
People to be like, wait, what's your name? She's like,
I yawn too. That's smart. She's she's got a thing.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
On all right. Another email, Well, Dave, I heard an
episode from about a month ago, around the time you
went to Sturgis that you do like the windy curvy
roads on your motorcycle. Have you ever heard of or
been on the tail of the Dragon located in southern Tennessee,
North Carolina border three hundred and eighteen curves and eleven miles.
I've gone on it once, but it was in a convertible.
(16:20):
Ain't no way I'm getting on a motorcycle ever. Gig again,
but it's very popular for motorcycle riders, and I think
it's worth looking into for you. I've heard of it.
I don't really have a lot of desire to ride
on it because that sounds exhausting. Eleven miles of twists
and turns sound that eleven miles is long.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You really have to pay attention.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
That's long. That's from here to downtown Saint Paul, and
that's long. Jenny, I've heard you mentioned you're frugal a
few times and it's very inspiring, but I'm quite literally
the opposite. I can't seem to stop. Have you ever
considered doing a blog on how to be frugal? I
know you got your travel blog, but I definitely feel
that you have a passion for being frugal and could
(16:59):
possibly create a blog on it. Tips for people on
how to be this way, project you've done, how much
money you've saved, et cetera, would be inspiring to read
and hopefully emulate.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I mean, I.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Definitely could do a blog about it. I just think
that it does come down to more factors of like
you can learn this and do this. It comes down
to like self control because I have a family obviously,
and there is someone in our family that there's a
couple of people in our family that don't have self control,
and the rest of us are exactly like me, and
it's so weird. It's so weird that we come from
(17:32):
the same family and you're so different, very opposite. So yeah,
maybe I'll I'll look into that. There are frugal travel
tips on my blog though, just an FYI, Like, I
just did a Macna Island one and I explained how
to get the cheapest ferry, the cheapest bike rentals, all
that stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I put that on there.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, here are some of those Honey game cards from
Taylor that she sends in once in a while, and
we get a couple of minutes left here. See, if
you could only wear clothes of one color for the
rest of your life, what color would you choose? Bailey?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Mmm?
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Probably green.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I feel like I have hazel eyes and if I
wore green, they might look greener, so that would be
kind of fun.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
And green compliments brown hair, so green.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I'd say blue. I don't really put a lot of
thought into it, but I don't have a better answer.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
I'm surprised you didn't say black, since we told you
you look good and blue black too.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah yeah, mine's blue for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Okay, and that is the Minnesota Goodbye. Love the questions,
thank you very much. Send those into Ryan's show at
KTIWB dot com
Okay, we are ready to go for the Minnesota Goodbye.
We're gonna start off with one Nita's weekly rant. One
take it away, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
So, in case I don't get a chance to get
on known Folk screen of Friday Bainley, I just want
to say happy birthday, thanks so on to the ramp.
So if this week's rent is about the assholes that
hold up traffic, So you know, when you're driving along
and then all of a sudden you see that the
traffic is backed up. You're inching up, You're inching up,
and you're inching up. Then you finally get up to
(00:31):
the point to where you can see why the traffic
is stopped. It's because some fucking idiots is looking at
the goddamn cop pulled got somebody pulled over. Nothing's really happening.
They just got somebody pulled over. Stop fucking being nosy.
Take your ass on. I don't have time to sit
here behind your ass while you want to sit and
figure out, oh, well, what did he do? Why did
you get pulled over? What are they're talking about? It's
(00:52):
none of your fucking business.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Just move.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I got shit to do, I got places to go.
Nobody has time for this shit. Just because the cops
got somebody pulled over don't mean that you have to
sit there and analyze as to what the fuck is
going on. None of your goddamn business. Goddamn it, that
shit pisses me the fuck off. Yeah, well that's my
rint for this week. I love you guys, bye.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Love you back. I remember I was driving on four
ninety four one time a really long backup got up
to the backup. What was on the side of the
road a bail of hay. Wow, a bail of hay.
People had to slow down and look at the bail
of hay.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I hate it when you're backed up and then you
get to the point where it starts to break up
and you're just like, there was nothing, nothing was here.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Eh.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
That is always confusing a ghost nothing, What is happening?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Like, was there a cop that had someone pulled over
and now they're not there anymore?
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah, we're just repercussions from that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Uh all right, next one. Okay, it's interesting. It's a
little bit long, but I'm gonna read it anyway. We're
talking about near death experiences. I don't know if this
came up on the show. Earlier. But here's the story.
I'm thirteen years old. We're in Florida, We're swimming in
the ocean, and it was cold, middle the week November.
Basically nobody on the beach that We started to swim
(02:03):
out with my dad and all of a sudden realized
the waves were too big. My dad was trying to
swim with me and my twelve year old brother back
to the shore and realized he couldn't do it. He
said he was going to swim back to the shore
and get help. Now. Whenever we discussed this story as adults,
my dad still gets choked up remembering how he had
to leave us. Now, he didn't just leave them. They
(02:23):
were on a floatable little like little rafty thing. Yeah,
my brother and I were both holding onto a plastic
inflatable float bobbing in the ocean. A huge wave hit
and my brother was torn away from me. Another wave
hit and the inflatable was torn out of my arms.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
As I started to go under out of nowhere, I
felt someone grab my arms and pull me up. It
took me a minute to realize it was a lifeguard
with one of those boards that I'd only seen on
baywatchow As they pulled me out of the sand, it
was basically naked, as the waves had hit my back
so many times they broke my swimsuit, so my little
teenage body that had just grown boobs was completely exposed
(02:58):
to the world. My mom was hugging me into the
craziness of realizing I had just escaped death. We realized
the lifeguards that had saved us were nowhere to be found.
No one saw where they came from or where they went.
I don't really know how I feel about or believe
in guardian angels, but my aunt and my mom believe
it was an angel of some kind. I sure would
(03:21):
love to thank them, but we never found out who
they were.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Have you guys ever had a near death experience or
witness an angel of some kind? Thank you, Becky. I
have not, but that's an amazing story.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
That's wild.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
When you said you got like pulled up, I thought, Oh,
what if like she breaks out of the water and
then no one's there. Oh, but I guess that's kind
of a thing, like we could never find them.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
That's so cool. I always think that stuff is so neat.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I've never had a near death experience and or a
guardian angel save me. But that sounds dope but obviously
terrifying because I would never want to drown in an ocean.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Here's an email about you, Bailey. Been in a huge
fan for twenty years plus. I listened to pretty much
every podcast in the morning show, Fallon and Cold. I'm
still fun, needless to say, my daughter also gets to hear,
except for the unfiltered ones. We went to the Renaissance
Festival this past Sunday, got to meet Bailey my daughter Tessa. Yes, Tessa,
I was so excited to meet a celebrity. She told
(04:15):
me that it was her favorite part of Renfest. She
even got Bailey's autograph and pictures with Bailey. I know
that listeners can't see the pictures, but I attached them,
especially her proud autograph that she now keeps on her desk.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Boot No, she was so sweet. Tessa was so nice.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I met Tessa and Royce and they were so jazzed
to meet me, and that's always so.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Like surreal in general.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
But I think I gave Tessa a chocolate covered strawberry
because we sell chocolate cover strawberries and sometimes when people
are really nice, I'm just like, es.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Here you go. Is the Renaissance Festival done? Now?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
We have one more weekend, one more week so I
work Sunday and that's it for this season.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, I haven't been out there yet. I still kind
of want to get out there.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well, if you want to come on Sunday, I'll give
you a chocolate cover strawberry.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, we're gonna have the girls this weekend, and I'm
not sure. I don't know how they would do at
the Renaissance Festival. Yeah, it's a lot of walking.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, I feel like the older one would have fun,
but maybe not the younger.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I would be pushing a stroller on dirt.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
On rocks and.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Cliff maybe not. Sammy writes, saying hello to my favorite
radio show friends. Sammy here with my second email to
the Minnesota Goodbye. I'm just leaving Target and had this
thought pop into my head and immediately felt like it
was something I had to share with you guys. I
feel like, without fail, every single time I go to
the store, as I'm walking back to my car, the
person that has parked next to me is also always
(05:34):
getting to their car. Does that ever happen to you?
Guys of course there are others in the parking lot
walking to their cars too, but how often is it
that the person parked right next to you is also
getting in their car. So strange. I've never noticed that before.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Me neither, but I have noticed weird like a coincidence
is when you're going on a walk and somebody's walking
towards you with their dog. Their dog always decides to
poop right as you're passing.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Because I have no audience.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Okay, I think it's every time if I was walking
a dog, the dog would choose to poop when someone
else was walking by because they want an audience.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
They're like, oh, someone's here, I'll poop right now.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And that It's funny because when they poop, they always
get kind of a shy like OOKU Like they look
the other way. They don't want to make eye contact
with you while they're pooping. Yeah, so uh, anyway, weird topic.
Want to see if that happens to anybody else, says Sammy.
I would also love a staff writer sticker. If you
still have then, Yes, Secretary Brie is on the case.
I've been listening to The Dave Ryan Show since I
(06:31):
was in elementary school for reference. I'm twenty nine now
and I just love you guys. I'll put my address
below for that staff writer sticker, we love you back,
thank you. I just sneezed, says Katie, and my coworker
said bless you. Last week somebody wrote in about this topic.
Pretty sure you weren't there for that, Dave, and nobody
else weigh in, So I'm going to do that. I
(06:52):
feel so uncomfortable with the social norm of blessing people
after they sneeze. For one thing, I don't think I
personally have the authority to bless people. Why do people
want to be acknowledged for sneezing. We don't do that
for other bodily functions. Some alternatives. If you must recognize
a person for sneezing, Hey you sneezed, Congratulations Godzilla, and
(07:12):
my favorite, shut up. There's a story behind this one.
In class one day, it's quiet, somebody sneezes. The girl
in the class shot an annoyed look at the sneezer
and said, shut up. I still get the cackles whenever
I think about it. I borrow this a few times.
How rude, that's not rude, up, that's rude. I don't
(07:33):
think that's funny at all. Next one, Sydney writes in
with questions that we don't want to answer the Dave
in regard to the dart Lick episode. Are you well versed?
Not gonna answer that question? Next one, Jenny, I'm sure
(07:53):
you're dreading this topic the most, so my attempt not
to ask about your recent breakup. Instead, I will ask
you how long has it been since you've enjoyed the
love and with another human? You don't have to answer.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I don't really care.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
I haven't had sex since my last relationship, so it's
been six months.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Bailey. Have you had sex with a woman?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
No, okay, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Uh. Well, I'm hopefully I made you blush or even
learn more about you. I always want to email, but
I usually listen while driving, so never remember what I
wanted to say once I'm sitting down with my phone.
Have a wonderful week. Excited to hear your answers or
other people's questions to get you cheers from staff writer Sydney.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Like our answers weren't as exciting as Sydney wanted them
to be.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Just no, nope, end nope, nope, uh okay. Next one, guys,
this is more for the show, but I'll throw it
out there anyway. Crystal writes in I went to see
the movie hym on Friday. I was excited to think
it was another Jordan Peele movie. I liked get Out
and Nope. As I was watching the previews and the
(08:56):
manager brought my case, Ada must been one of them
fancy theaters.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Gee.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
He talked to me a bit about it. I was
alone in the theater at the time. He had seen
it the night before. I learned from him that it
was not a Jordan Peele movie, as the previews led
us to believe. He did not direct it. His production
team was just involved in the movie. That being said,
it was not a horror movie. There was no suspense
in the maybe the last ten minutes was pointless. Gore. Oh,
it was a social commentary on the violent nature of football.
(09:23):
I didn't love it. I can't say I even liked it,
but I was not distracted by my phone and eight
snacks in the dark for twelve for two hours, so
that's a win. It also had a twenty eight percent
rating on Rotten Tomatoes. If that tells you anything, which
is bad, yeahs bad.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I mean, the concept sounds interesting.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I love a social commentary in general, and I like
the idea like, hey, football is too it's too violent,
so let's not have it be violent.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
But it's a bummer that the movie sucked.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh well, football is violent. And I think one of
the things is like it is such a glamorous sport
to play. I mean, every high school has a football
team and kids get you know, broken ribs or concussions
or whatever all the time, but it's still people still
love to play football because it is like, oh my god,
(10:14):
you had the winning touchdown against chan Hassen on Friday night. Wow,
you're a hero.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
I could go back.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I would back in the day. I could throw football
quarter mile. I bet I could throw football over the mountains. Really. Wow,
if we could go.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Back, Napoleon dynamite everybody.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, thank you. You were asking recently about parents adult
about adults whose parents were divorced. My parents were married
forty years and I was thirty two when they got divorced.
My mom decided to have a midlife crisis and leave
my dad for a man who was a raging alcoholic.
Oh and ultimately he died from that disease. When my
(10:56):
parents were married. My mom took care of every single
thing financially. My dad doesn't even know how to write
a check or pay a bill. We were blind sided
when she left and my dad didn't know how to
take care of himself. I had to instantly take care
of everything. It's been five years. I haven't talked to
my mom in five years, and I am one hundred
percent responsible for my dad. I pay all his bills.
(11:18):
I make sure everything is handled. Don't take the wrong way,
but my dad's He is independent, lives alone, and can
physically take care of himself. But the burden of handling
all the finances has fallen on me. If I do them,
I just know it's done and it's done correctly. And
you cannot teach a sixty year old man technology and
bills when he's never done any of it. I think
(11:39):
that's on him. You absolutely should be able.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
To he's definitely special learn hopeless.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Well, Yeah, not to burden your daughter with that, Yeah,
anyway to wrap it up, maybe it was the circumstances
of why they divorced, but I wish they had divorced
when I was a kid. Being an adult doesn't make
it any easier. I cannot comprehend it this day. Why
my mom just a life with a man who was
always so drunk he'd poop himself was way better than
(12:05):
life with a man who simply just worked a lot. Wow.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I mean, I'm not condoning the new man she went for,
but it doesn't honestly sound like your dad was a
great partner either. It sounded like your mom had to
like him like a child, and that is why so
many women leave their partners. It's exhausting when you get
into a relationship where you become the mother to your partner.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I'm sure, Okay, interesting talking about baby names. This is
a plethora of a cornucopia of email subjects today, and
I like it. Abby says, I can't remember what made
me think about this, but I found that interesting when
trying to name my son and now pregnant with our
second baby, we use the Social Security baby name site.
(12:50):
You can search by state or certain year to see
what baby names are popular. It's super interesting if you
need a lot of a list of names. It might
also be an interesting bit you for a bit on
what year certain names were popular. Anyway, I enjoyed listening
to you guys every day from Abby. We've kind of
done that before, haven't we. Okay, going for example here,
I just pulled up a Social Security baby name list
(13:11):
for the nineteen nineties. Number one boy named Michael, Christopher, Matthew, Joshua,
and Jacob. Number one girl named Jessica, Ashley, Emily, Sarah
and Samantha. Let's go back to another decade. Let's go
back to the nineteen tens. Nineteen tens, John William, James,
(13:34):
Robert and Joseph, Females Mary, Helen, Dorothy, Margaret and Ruth.
Mildred was actually at number six, really, which surprises me
a little bit. Evelyn was at number twelve, and Evelyn
is back because my daughter Alison named her girl Evelyn.
Also in there that some of these are come back. Marie, Alice, Florence, Lillian, Rose, Irene, Louise, Edna,
(14:01):
Gladys Ethel was number twenty two. Grace Hazel, Thelma, Lucille, Edith,
Eleanor Doris, Annie, Pauline, Gertrude, which I've always thought was
a really ugly name.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I'm sorry, Yeah, this sounds bad coming out.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Esther Betty, Beatrice, Marjorie. There's a name I never hear
anymore and it goes on. Mabel was number sixty one.
That is definitely an old name, but I'll bet it's
coming back here and there.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I like what the old names that they have a
lot of elongated vowels. Those are always my favorite ones,
like Eleanor is a very vowel heavy, Otis is vowel heavy.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Henrietta maybe, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I just love a vowel.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Ula Eula was a name back in the day.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
I like that. That's cute. I've never even heard that name.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I never have either.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, I've heard Uleayla.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Now Here's Cleo. Cleo was the one hundred and ninety
third most popular name in the nineteen tens. But I
know a baby Cleo now. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, I have a friend named Cleo. Wow. She always
says it's Cleo, not Chloe.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
That's literally her Instagram handle.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I always think of I think of that, like, I
wish more parents did that when they were naming their kids,
Like what will my kid have to say over and
over and over again. I feel bad because I have
a friend that I saw yesterday and his name is
Danillo and it's a Ukrainian name, so I'm sure it
makes sense.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
In Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
But he says, if like he's ordering something and they
say what's the name on it, he'll just say Dan
because he's not about to try and explain Denillo.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
And that's what.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
So.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I had a roommate named Nyantuo, and she would tell
our back when we'd take cabs, Yeah, like what my
she'd say Jenny for the name instead of ionto. Or
when she'd meet people out in public, she would literally
point to her iye, she'd go I. She would yawn
with her mouth, yeah, the number two with her fingers out.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
People to be like, wait, what's your name? She's like,
I yawn too. That's smart. She's she's got a thing.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
On all right. Another email, Well, Dave, I heard an
episode from about a month ago, around the time you
went to Sturgis that you do like the windy curvy
roads on your motorcycle. Have you ever heard of or
been on the tail of the Dragon located in southern Tennessee,
North Carolina border three hundred and eighteen curves and eleven miles.
I've gone on it once, but it was in a convertible.
(16:20):
Ain't no way I'm getting on a motorcycle ever. Gig again,
but it's very popular for motorcycle riders, and I think
it's worth looking into for you. I've heard of it.
I don't really have a lot of desire to ride
on it because that sounds exhausting. Eleven miles of twists
and turns sound that eleven miles is long.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You really have to pay attention.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
That's long. That's from here to downtown Saint Paul, and
that's long. Jenny, I've heard you mentioned you're frugal a
few times and it's very inspiring, but I'm quite literally
the opposite. I can't seem to stop. Have you ever
considered doing a blog on how to be frugal? I
know you got your travel blog, but I definitely feel
that you have a passion for being frugal and could
(16:59):
possibly create a blog on it. Tips for people on
how to be this way, project you've done, how much
money you've saved, et cetera, would be inspiring to read
and hopefully emulate.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
I mean, I.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Definitely could do a blog about it. I just think
that it does come down to more factors of like
you can learn this and do this. It comes down
to like self control because I have a family obviously,
and there is someone in our family that there's a
couple of people in our family that don't have self control,
and the rest of us are exactly like me, and
it's so weird. It's so weird that we come from
(17:32):
the same family and you're so different, very opposite. So yeah,
maybe I'll I'll look into that. There are frugal travel
tips on my blog though, just an FYI, Like, I
just did a Macna Island one and I explained how
to get the cheapest ferry, the cheapest bike rentals, all
that stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I put that on there.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, here are some of those Honey game cards from
Taylor that she sends in once in a while, and
we get a couple of minutes left here. See, if
you could only wear clothes of one color for the
rest of your life, what color would you choose? Bailey?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Mmm?
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Probably green.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I feel like I have hazel eyes and if I
wore green, they might look greener, so that would be
kind of fun.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
And green compliments brown hair, so green.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I'd say blue. I don't really put a lot of
thought into it, but I don't have a better answer.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
I'm surprised you didn't say black, since we told you
you look good and blue black too.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah yeah, mine's blue for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Okay, and that is the Minnesota Goodbye. Love the questions,
thank you very much. Send those into Ryan's show at
