Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, here we are with another pre recorded not live Minnesota. Goodbye,
and if you're listening, then I'm going to assume that
you mayb came to our live podcast on Saturday. It
was really very cool. It is so fun to see
the enthusiasm. And I wish the Boss people could have
(00:21):
been there to see the enthusiasm that people greet our
show with, because I think sometimes I think sometimes they
don't think that we have people that enjoy the show
that much. Does that make any sense?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's because I mean, I don't know,
it's hard to say sometimes what they think. But it
is also hard to argue against data sometimes, so if
they're only looking at ratings, which I in my opinion,
are not accurate, Yeah, then sometimes they think that like
nobody listens to us.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah. And I just see not only people who listened
but wanted to come out on a Saturday when they
could have been at the mall or they could have
been like watching Netflix or whatever. Yeah, that they came out.
They were enthusiastic. They watched the entire thing, and they
asked questions and they had fun and it was just
it was awesome. It was a really good reaffirment of
(01:16):
people like the show and like what we do. So
thank you, and.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
They were at your appreciation, like a really good audience too,
like how anything we said it would be like a
ba versus, like cricket, cricket, cricket. Oh man, I can't
imagine if it was a quiet audience.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And you know, it was so great one. Nita was
so great. I honestly was worried why Nita would be
nervous because she's never performed in front of a crowd
before that I know of, and you know, recording a
rant in your kitchen on your phone is one thing.
And I was a little worried whe Nita would be nervous.
She fucking killed it. She was great, So thank you.
Je Nita. Your friend Tony or he's basically.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Our friend, Tony friend.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
He got up on stage and he started doing his thing. Yeah,
and he was so funny. Even if you don't know
who Tony is, you couldn't help but like the guy. Yeah,
he was just so funny.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
He's just the.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Most lovable person ever. And Secretary Bree sent an email
to me and she was like, Jenny, I need to
be bff's with Tony and she liked his husband too.
His husband was there, and I'm like, Tony's everyone's bff.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
He really is.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
He's one of those people who's got this magical quality
where you know he likes you. Yeah, and when I
ever see whenever I see Tony, I know he likes
me and I like him because we like people who
like us. And Bree shout out to you. She got
here an hour or more early. We pulled into the
parking lot at the same time, and we came in.
She helped set up chairs and I know they'll never
(02:43):
hear it, but the street team and Jared from engineering,
they did such a great job. And then Mike, BFF Mike,
he came and was like, you know, helping with the
pizza and all the different things. So it was just great.
We just had a really good time.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, you guys will have to cross off getting me
at Costco membership for Christmas because BFF Mike did.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Hook it up. Oh thank you, Mike, You're the best. Shoot.
Hold on, let me cry.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
What I thought of it said as a membership is
a National Parks membership, but that's too expensive, So only
if you guys all went in like together, Okay, how much.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Is a National Parks membership?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Take a hundred or something, but I would never ask
one single person to spend that much money on me.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Hold on, I'm ready, it's National Parks membership. I wrote
it down, and also a shout out to everybody else
who just came by. And like Patty from Ukulele Clubs,
he's a big supporter of the show. She's done Tres
Street clean up with us a few times, and she
brought me a little gift bag with some games for
the show. And we just love Patty too. All right,
on with the emails. This is really the only one
(03:45):
that we've gotten since the Minnesota goodbye. Oh So we'll
see how much we can stretch this out. Okay, great,
it's from Michelle. She says, I am a silent listener
who has been listening to the Big Show and podcast
ever since Bethany slash Lena filled in for Fell a
couple of years ago. I love the banter between you all,
and I kept listening to the Dave Ryan Show ever since.
I'm originally from Chicago, but I currently live in Georgia,
(04:08):
so I listened to you all on Apple podcasts. So
this is again, here's somebody who's never been to Minnesota
to you grow up listening to KTWB or learn to
listen to KATWB. She found us on the iHeartRadio app,
and I love that, and I love that you're still here.
(04:29):
I also listened to another morning show, but I must
say that your bits and games are unlike any other.
The other morning show that I listened to just makes
you guess the name of a song, or they copy
another game show you see on TV. But your games
are a lot more interesting and entertaining, and you never
failed to make me laugh. I just wanted to give
you some praise. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. We
(04:50):
kind of have a little saying, and that is, let's
put the Dave Ryan spin on it. So, how do
we Dave Ryan or katiewbfi this bit? Like if we're
going to do like I don't know, name that tune,
or we're gonna do password or match game or something
like that, we always put like what we call the
(05:10):
Dave Ryan spin on it. Yes, so and so that way,
it's not ordinary. And I think one of the things
that's kept our show going for so long is because
we're not lazy and we don't just you know, go, oh, well,
here's a game show on TV. Let's do it just
like that. So well, thank you. I really appreciate you
noticing anyway. Two questions for you all feel free to
(05:32):
answer if you have time. Number one, what is the
biggest lesson you have learned this year? Anybody have off
the top of your head. I'll give you a minute
to think about it. Second question is what word confuses
you when you see it spelled out. I'll go first.
The biggest lesson I learned this year was to reach
out for help if you need it. Twenty twenty five
was definitely an extremely difficult year for me, and I
(05:54):
often felt lost and alone. I finally sought out help
and started seeing a therapist in September. I've only intended
a few sessions, but I already feel more hopeful than before.
But I know I still have a lot more healing
to do. As for words, paradigm and Eugene always trip
(06:14):
me up, I think it's the silent letters Paradigm. Thanks
for all the joy and laughter you've given me this year.
Dave Jenny Bailey in fun Happy Holidays from Michelle. PS
if you have any leftover adult toys from your live show.
I would be more than happy to help you get
rid of some talk about the toys during the live show.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Jenny, Yeah, basically, you know, we had all these sex
toys that Melissa had given us one time.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
She's a listener of the show and she reviews them.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So we brought them all in and we played a
couple games forrom or Dave just genuinely was like, go
get a sex toy. So people would reach into a
bag and like pick one out if we call it
the Mystery Bag of sex toys. And I mean some
of the toys that came out were so wild or
like not for a female else I did. I did
sign one huge penis. Yes she yea a giant and
(07:06):
she was like will you signed this? And I was
like sure, And I thought it was like a whole
morning show thing. And I don't think she.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Asked you guys.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
She did me.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And I was like, okay, well, I hope this is
going to someone who knows who I am.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Maybe I don't know, but so yeah, that was.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, that was a giant dick. It really was. It
was about about a foot long and about as girthy
as hmmm.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Snake, a snake, but not a gardener snake.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
No, it was very intimidating to us guys, Like, if
that's your expectation, then I am so sorry. Yeah, I
can't really think of the biggest lesson that I've learned
this year. I think I've learned lessons all through my life,
and if there was one, I'd have to think about it.
But I think one of my favorite is, you know,
when someone shows you who they really are, believe them.
(07:55):
And and also, bad behavior doesn't always happen in a vacuum.
In other words, if you somebody doing a dicky, mean,
backstabbing thing, they probably do it a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So in other words, if somebody is difficult once, bad
behavior doesn't usually happen in a vacuum. Like if your
nephew is shoplifting, well, chances are he's done a lot
of shitty stuff even though you only know about one time.
Anything daily come to mind.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yeah, this summer, my friend Sarah Colly, she said that
anyone she'll say yes to anyone.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Who asks her out on a date.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
And this year I got like into hit not into it,
but I got a hinge profile and I started doing
you know, like dating app dates, and.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
If somebody asked me on a date.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I took her advice and used it as a life lesson, like, hey,
if they have the courage and like the balls to
say I want to go on a date, and you
just go on one, you don't have to marry them.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
You just go on a date. And I went on.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Six dates, well six first dates. I dated six guys
this year. That's bonkers to me. Yeah, I mean dated,
even if it was only one date. A handful of
them I never heard from again, but whatever, that's okay
for the moment. But they asked, they set up a
set up where we were going, and I, you know,
got to meet some new people and at least I
(09:13):
have some good stories.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, mine is just life goes on.
There you go, life goes on. Maybe they you know.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I had a very tumultuous year for me, but I realize,
like shit happens.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Then you got to just like keep going.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And it's hard to say sometimes if you're like dealing
with some I don't know, depression, anxiety, whatever, I get that,
but yeah, life just goes on, and you got to
like try your best to enjoy things even if you're
not feeling the greatest deep down, Keep girl Boss.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
What's the third G? Whatever the other one is gate
Keep girl boss doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
One of my favorite people that I met on Saturday
was Stephanie Gerritty because it's funny because she looked nothing
like what I expected, which is kind of funny because
I've actually pictured Stephanie, who writes into the show quite frequently,
and came up with a bunch of morning show questions
and it was a lot of fun. Stephanie wrote, and
this was last Thursday. She wrote in well, I didn't
(10:17):
expect this one today. Trigger alert on any children who
might be listening, do not let them listen to this.
So there is a trigger alert. If you are in
the car with your children, especially young children under the
age of eight or so, you have been warned do
not listen to this with them. It's not dirty, it's
just something that you don't want them to hear. So
(10:39):
I'm going to give you a second to fiddle with
your phone and turn this off and listen to it later.
If you have kids. Here we go. My newly five
year old came home from school and let me know,
a kid on her bus, age four, told her there
was no Santa Santa. Argument pursued, Wow, I've never told
my children there is or is not Santa because I
(11:01):
don't want to lie or influence my kids into thinking
or believing something. Christmas Morning, I'll put raft gifts under
the tree, but I don't put any name tags on them.
I only have one kid, so the gifts are clearly
for them, but I don't put from card. After this situation,
I told her that anybody who wants to believe in Sanna,
who wants to believe in Santa can and it's okay
(11:22):
for others to not believe in him. I made sure
she knows it's okay for anyone to believe however they
choose to. Just curious if anybody else is dealing with
this sort of bombshell at this age and how they
handle it. I've never been on the Santa truly being
real idea because I don't like lying to my kid.
But anytime I've said that to others, they say, I
(11:43):
have to tell them Santa was real because it will
be taken away Christmas magic if I don't. On another note,
elf on a shelf is something I only heard a
year or two ago, and I think it's a headache
and a half. My neighbor does it, and it seems
like so much work. I'm so glad I don't do it,
and my kid is never asked about it. Honestly, it
seems a little creepy to have a little doll inside
your house reporting back to Santa about every move you make.
(12:06):
No thanks. I would also never want to add more
work to my plate by making the thing move around
the house every night, especially not making messes in my house,
which I see they do quite often. I'm such a
clean freak. Hell no, all the power to those who
enjoy it. Who knows what else they will come up
with twenty years from now. I think the thing about
Christmas and Santa is, yeah, that's shitty that your little
(12:28):
kid found that out, because I think that I've got
a picture of me sitting on Santa's lap when I
was eight, and I still believed it was Santa. I
was eight years old. What did I ask for? Go ahead,
and guess what I asked for? A helicopter? Nope, a
chess set? Nerd I know I wanted a chess set
(12:51):
and I don't think I got one. Dang it, I
don't think I did. And I knew it was the
minister from our church because we went to the church
basement and the minister comes down the stairs and he's
got like a bag, and he goes into his office
and they closes the door and he comes out a
little while Well, Santa came out a little while later. Yeah,
but I suspended disbelief right, and I sat on his
(13:14):
lap and I asked for the chessboard. But I think
the thing is somebody once told me it's okay because
you realize that even though Santa might be a figment
of your imagination, you still get the presence. Yeah, the
magic is still there.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
It's the spirit of Christmas. I always think like Santa's
the spirit of Christmas. As an adult, that's what I think.
So like, yeah, I'm not going to sit down my
kids and be like, by the way, Santa's not real,
because I think they come to that knowledge later, like
you saw the pastor go in and come out of Santa.
So you're like, hmmm, I'm putting two and two together,
And I did when I was a kid, find it out.
Like again, I put two and two together because Santa's
(13:52):
handwriting looked just like my dad's hand writing.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, funny.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So I was like, hmmmm, I think, and I think
it's just like as you get older, you kind of
put two and two together because your brain is developing, and.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Then you're like, well, sure right, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
But like, I would never sit someone down and be like,
you know, Santa's not real, because that I feel like
that's traumatizing.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
That's hard.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I don't think there's anything wrong with Stephanie doesn't like
lying to her kids, and I totally respect that. Love
your staff, but I don't have a problem with saying
Santa's this or Santa this it. What I don't like
was elf on a shelf because elf on a shelf
says behave because the elf is watching you. Now, that's
cute and fun, But my message that I get from
that is like, you need to have an elf watching
(14:34):
you to behave? Fuck that. You will behave because I
have taught you how to behave. You will not beat
up your brother, you will not do this. It is
not because an elf is watching you. It's because you,
little bitch. I have taught you to behave, And if
you need an elf on a shelf to remind you
to behave yourself, then you got problems and so help me. No, seriously,
(14:56):
because I've known people who've got oh, we do the
elf on the shelf, and honestly, their kids were the
ass holes. And I'm not lying, I'm not going to
say who, but it was like, those kids are little
assholes and you do the yelf on his shelf saying,
oh watch out, little elf on the shelf is watching you.
Fuck that Noise Bailey Jenny bea behave yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I mean, I agree. I just think that some kids
are menaces. And my nephew is one of them. Because
my niece is an angel, my nephew is a little you.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Know what, and he's a little asshole.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, and it's like and I love him, and he's
actually very very well behaved at like daycare or school
and stuff like that, but at home he is just
a little devil. So, I mean, I have heard my
sister threaten him so many times and say Santa's not
bringing in presents, you know this and this, and that
you're not getting.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
A birthday party anymore. Like I've heard all the.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Threats, all the hollow threats.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, it's just nothing. Nothing works with him, Nothing makes
him listen. I can get him to listen to me,
usually because I'm the cool aunt. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, I don't know what the solution is to that.
I do know that hollow threats are just they're so effective.
If you don't stop right now, you're going to bed.
I mean it. If you don't stop right okay, that's it,
you're going to bed. Okay, that's it. You're going to bed.
And you don't put them to bed. Oh at that Okay.
My favorite story, I've told it a million times, and
here comes the million In first, we were at a
pool at the Billings Koa campground and there was a
(16:17):
mom with her two boys, probably eight and ten years old,
and the boys were being little brats and little assholes,
and mom was on the side of the pool going
and if.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
You like, don't stop that, you're not going to get
into the ice cream. Okay, that's shot. Okay, no ice cream.
No okay, that's shit. No ice cream all afternoon? Okay,
that shit, no ice cream. Later we saw them she
did it all afternoon. Later, we saw them eating ice
cream and playing mini golf, and I'm like, no, wonder
the kids are assholes because they know that it's not.
(16:47):
It's a hollow, a hollow threat. Yeah you guys here,
you guys, if you don't stop schnotting it, don't snod
in the pool.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Because they were blowing snot in the pool. Yeah what
and my kid did that, It'd be like immediately I
would yank them by the ears, both ears. I remember
one time speaking of yank by the year. This is
how I knew to respect my dad. I was the
church that we went to was across the street from
a little convenience store. And I don't know why. I
(17:20):
wasn't supposed to be the convenience store, but I was
over there looking at toy wooden gliders. You know what
a toy wooden glider is, a little balsa wood glider.
And I was going to spend my you know, seventy
five cents on a bals of wood glider. My dad
in his suit and his cowboy hat. I can still
picture him, storms into the store, looks around. I see
(17:41):
him up at the front of the store looking around.
He spots me, comes down the aisle, grabs me by
the ear, and led me out of the store by
the ear. I don't remember why. I was probably skipping
Sunday school orse saying something, are you in trouble? I don't, Wow,
But that store is still there. And when I go
(18:04):
into that store, I can still my ear felt hot
the rest of the day. All the blood in my
body rushed to that ear and it felt hot.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
And every time you're in that store, your ear gets hot.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
One But again, I look at it affectionately now because,
like I said, the story is still there, and I
stopped there almost every time I'm in Colorado, and I
still picture like, there's the aisle. The setup has changed
a little bit. Yeah, but there's where Dad stood with
his fists clinched and his cowboy hat and his suit
on looking for David. All right, that's gonna do it
for the Minnesota. Goodbye for today. Thank you for listening.
(18:37):
Thanks again for coming to the podcast. If you did,
if you've got any thoughts or critiques or comments, or
you liked this or you didn't like that about the podcast,
love to hear from you. We might do it again,
you know, sometime in the next couple of months, because
why not. It was fun to set up and fun
to do and fun to meet you. Yeah, that's it, Minnesota. Goodbye,
Ryan Show. At KDWB dot com,
Well, here we are with another pre recorded not live Minnesota. Goodbye,
and if you're listening, then I'm going to assume that
you mayb came to our live podcast on Saturday. It
was really very cool. It is so fun to see
the enthusiasm. And I wish the Boss people could have
(00:21):
been there to see the enthusiasm that people greet our
show with, because I think sometimes I think sometimes they
don't think that we have people that enjoy the show
that much. Does that make any sense?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's because I mean, I don't know,
it's hard to say sometimes what they think. But it
is also hard to argue against data sometimes, so if
they're only looking at ratings, which I in my opinion,
are not accurate, Yeah, then sometimes they think that like
nobody listens to us.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah. And I just see not only people who listened
but wanted to come out on a Saturday when they
could have been at the mall or they could have
been like watching Netflix or whatever. Yeah, that they came out.
They were enthusiastic. They watched the entire thing, and they
asked questions and they had fun and it was just
it was awesome. It was a really good reaffirment of
(01:16):
people like the show and like what we do. So
thank you, and.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
They were at your appreciation, like a really good audience too,
like how anything we said it would be like a
ba versus, like cricket, cricket, cricket. Oh man, I can't
imagine if it was a quiet audience.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And you know, it was so great one. Nita was
so great. I honestly was worried why Nita would be
nervous because she's never performed in front of a crowd
before that I know of, and you know, recording a
rant in your kitchen on your phone is one thing.
And I was a little worried whe Nita would be nervous.
She fucking killed it. She was great, So thank you.
Je Nita. Your friend Tony or he's basically.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Our friend, Tony friend.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
He got up on stage and he started doing his thing. Yeah,
and he was so funny. Even if you don't know
who Tony is, you couldn't help but like the guy. Yeah,
he was just so funny.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
He's just the.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Most lovable person ever. And Secretary Bree sent an email
to me and she was like, Jenny, I need to
be bff's with Tony and she liked his husband too.
His husband was there, and I'm like, Tony's everyone's bff.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
He really is.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
He's one of those people who's got this magical quality
where you know he likes you. Yeah, and when I
ever see whenever I see Tony, I know he likes
me and I like him because we like people who
like us. And Bree shout out to you. She got
here an hour or more early. We pulled into the
parking lot at the same time, and we came in.
She helped set up chairs and I know they'll never
(02:43):
hear it, but the street team and Jared from engineering,
they did such a great job. And then Mike, BFF Mike,
he came and was like, you know, helping with the
pizza and all the different things. So it was just great.
We just had a really good time.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, you guys will have to cross off getting me
at Costco membership for Christmas because BFF Mike did.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Hook it up. Oh thank you, Mike, You're the best. Shoot.
Hold on, let me cry.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
What I thought of it said as a membership is
a National Parks membership, but that's too expensive, So only
if you guys all went in like together, Okay, how much.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Is a National Parks membership?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Take a hundred or something, but I would never ask
one single person to spend that much money on me.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Hold on, I'm ready, it's National Parks membership. I wrote
it down, and also a shout out to everybody else
who just came by. And like Patty from Ukulele Clubs,
he's a big supporter of the show. She's done Tres
Street clean up with us a few times, and she
brought me a little gift bag with some games for
the show. And we just love Patty too. All right,
on with the emails. This is really the only one
(03:45):
that we've gotten since the Minnesota goodbye. Oh So we'll
see how much we can stretch this out. Okay, great,
it's from Michelle. She says, I am a silent listener

say that your bits and games are unlike any other.
The other morning show that I listened to just makes
you guess the name of a song, or they copy
another game show you see on TV. But your games
are a lot more interesting and entertaining, and you never
failed to make me laugh. I just wanted to give
you some praise. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed. We
(04:50):
kind of have a little saying, and that is, let's
put the Dave Ryan spin on it. So, how do
we Dave Ryan or katiewbfi this bit? Like if we're
going to do like I don't know, name that tune,
or we're gonna do password or match game or something
like that, we always put like what we call the
(05:10):
Dave Ryan spin on it. Yes, so and so that way,
it's not ordinary. And I think one of the things
that's kept our show going for so long is because
we're not lazy and we don't just you know, go, oh, well,
here's a game show on TV. Let's do it just
like that. So well, thank you. I really appreciate you
noticing anyway. Two questions for you all feel free to
(05:32):
answer if you have time. Number one, what is the
biggest lesson you have learned this year? Anybody have off
the top of your head. I'll give you a minute
to think about it. Second question is what word confuses
you when you see it spelled out. I'll go first.
The biggest lesson I learned this year was to reach
out for help if you need it. Twenty twenty five
was definitely an extremely difficult year for me, and I
(05:54):
often felt lost and alone. I finally sought out help
and started seeing a therapist in September. I've only intended
a few sessions, but I already feel more hopeful than before.
But I know I still have a lot more healing
to do. As for words, paradigm and Eugene always trip
(06:14):
me up, I think it's the silent letters Paradigm. Thanks
for all the joy and laughter you've given me this year.
Dave Jenny Bailey in fun Happy Holidays from Michelle. PS
if you have any leftover adult toys from your live show.
I would be more than happy to help you get
rid of some talk about the toys during the live show.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Jenny, Yeah, basically, you know, we had all these sex
toys that Melissa had given us one time.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
She's a listener of the show and she reviews them.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So we brought them all in and we played a
couple games forrom or Dave just genuinely was like, go
get a sex toy. So people would reach into a
bag and like pick one out if we call it
the Mystery Bag of sex toys. And I mean some
of the toys that came out were so wild or
like not for a female else I did. I did
sign one huge penis. Yes she yea a giant and
(07:06):
she was like will you signed this? And I was
like sure, And I thought it was like a whole
morning show thing. And I don't think she.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Asked you guys.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
She did me.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And I was like, okay, well, I hope this is
going to someone who knows who I am.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Maybe I don't know, but so yeah, that was.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, that was a giant dick. It really was. It
was about about a foot long and about as girthy
as hmmm.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Snake, a snake, but not a gardener snake.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
No, it was very intimidating to us guys, Like, if
that's your expectation, then I am so sorry. Yeah, I
can't really think of the biggest lesson that I've learned
this year. I think I've learned lessons all through my life,
and if there was one, I'd have to think about it.
But I think one of my favorite is, you know,
when someone shows you who they really are, believe them.
(07:55):
And and also, bad behavior doesn't always happen in a vacuum.
In other words, if you somebody doing a dicky, mean,
backstabbing thing, they probably do it a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So in other words, if somebody is difficult once, bad
behavior doesn't usually happen in a vacuum. Like if your
nephew is shoplifting, well, chances are he's done a lot
of shitty stuff even though you only know about one time.
Anything daily come to mind.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yeah, this summer, my friend Sarah Colly, she said that
anyone she'll say yes to anyone.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Who asks her out on a date.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
And this year I got like into hit not into it,
but I got a hinge profile and I started doing
you know, like dating app dates, and.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
If somebody asked me on a date.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I took her advice and used it as a life lesson, like, hey,
if they have the courage and like the balls to
say I want to go on a date, and you
just go on one, you don't have to marry them.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
You just go on a date. And I went on.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Six dates, well six first dates. I dated six guys
this year. That's bonkers to me. Yeah, I mean dated,
even if it was only one date. A handful of
them I never heard from again, but whatever, that's okay
for the moment. But they asked, they set up a
set up where we were going, and I, you know,
got to meet some new people and at least I
(09:13):
have some good stories.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, mine is just life goes on.
There you go, life goes on. Maybe they you know.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I had a very tumultuous year for me, but I realize,
like shit happens.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Then you got to just like keep going.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And it's hard to say sometimes if you're like dealing
with some I don't know, depression, anxiety, whatever, I get that,
but yeah, life just goes on, and you got to
like try your best to enjoy things even if you're
not feeling the greatest deep down, Keep girl Boss.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
What's the third G? Whatever the other one is gate
Keep girl boss doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
One of my favorite people that I met on Saturday
was Stephanie Gerritty because it's funny because she looked nothing
like what I expected, which is kind of funny because
I've actually pictured Stephanie, who writes into the show quite frequently,
and came up with a bunch of morning show questions
and it was a lot of fun. Stephanie wrote, and
this was last Thursday. She wrote in well, I didn't
(10:17):
expect this one today. Trigger alert on any children who
might be listening, do not let them listen to this.
So there is a trigger alert. If you are in
the car with your children, especially young children under the
age of eight or so, you have been warned do
not listen to this with them. It's not dirty, it's
just something that you don't want them to hear. So
(10:39):
I'm going to give you a second to fiddle with
your phone and turn this off and listen to it later.
If you have kids. Here we go. My newly five
year old came home from school and let me know,
a kid on her bus, age four, told her there
was no Santa Santa. Argument pursued, Wow, I've never told
my children there is or is not Santa because I
(11:01):
don't want to lie or influence my kids into thinking
or believing something. Christmas Morning, I'll put raft gifts under
the tree, but I don't put any name tags on them.
I only have one kid, so the gifts are clearly
for them, but I don't put from card. After this situation,
I told her that anybody who wants to believe in Sanna,
who wants to believe in Santa can and it's okay
(11:22):
for others to not believe in him. I made sure
she knows it's okay for anyone to believe however they
choose to. Just curious if anybody else is dealing with
this sort of bombshell at this age and how they
handle it. I've never been on the Santa truly being
real idea because I don't like lying to my kid.
But anytime I've said that to others, they say, I
(11:43):
have to tell them Santa was real because it will
be taken away Christmas magic if I don't. On another note,
elf on a shelf is something I only heard a
year or two ago, and I think it's a headache
and a half. My neighbor does it, and it seems
like so much work. I'm so glad I don't do it,
and my kid is never asked about it. Honestly, it
seems a little creepy to have a little doll inside
your house reporting back to Santa about every move you make.
(12:06):
No thanks. I would also never want to add more
work to my plate by making the thing move around
the house every night, especially not making messes in my house,
which I see they do quite often. I'm such a
clean freak. Hell no, all the power to those who
enjoy it. Who knows what else they will come up
with twenty years from now. I think the thing about
Christmas and Santa is, yeah, that's shitty that your little
(12:28):
kid found that out, because I think that I've got
a picture of me sitting on Santa's lap when I
was eight, and I still believed it was Santa. I
was eight years old. What did I ask for? Go ahead,
and guess what I asked for? A helicopter? Nope, a
chess set? Nerd I know I wanted a chess set
(12:51):
and I don't think I got one. Dang it, I
don't think I did. And I knew it was the
minister from our church because we went to the church
basement and the minister comes down the stairs and he's
got like a bag, and he goes into his office
and they closes the door and he comes out a
little while Well, Santa came out a little while later. Yeah,
but I suspended disbelief right, and I sat on his
(13:14):
lap and I asked for the chessboard. But I think
the thing is somebody once told me it's okay because
you realize that even though Santa might be a figment
of your imagination, you still get the presence. Yeah, the
magic is still there.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
It's the spirit of Christmas. I always think like Santa's
the spirit of Christmas. As an adult, that's what I think.
So like, yeah, I'm not going to sit down my
kids and be like, by the way, Santa's not real,
because I think they come to that knowledge later, like
you saw the pastor go in and come out of Santa.
So you're like, hmmm, I'm putting two and two together,
And I did when I was a kid, find it out.
Like again, I put two and two together because Santa's
(13:52):
handwriting looked just like my dad's hand writing.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, funny.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So I was like, hmmmm, I think, and I think
it's just like as you get older, you kind of
put two and two together because your brain is developing, and.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Then you're like, well, sure right, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
But like, I would never sit someone down and be like,
you know, Santa's not real, because that I feel like
that's traumatizing.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
That's hard.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I don't think there's anything wrong with Stephanie doesn't like
lying to her kids, and I totally respect that. Love
your staff, but I don't have a problem with saying
Santa's this or Santa this it. What I don't like
was elf on a shelf because elf on a shelf
says behave because the elf is watching you. Now, that's
cute and fun, But my message that I get from
that is like, you need to have an elf watching
(14:34):
you to behave? Fuck that. You will behave because I
have taught you how to behave. You will not beat
up your brother, you will not do this. It is
not because an elf is watching you. It's because you,
little bitch. I have taught you to behave, And if
you need an elf on a shelf to remind you
to behave yourself, then you got problems and so help me. No, seriously,
(14:56):
because I've known people who've got oh, we do the
elf on the shelf, and honestly, their kids were the
ass holes. And I'm not lying, I'm not going to
say who, but it was like, those kids are little
assholes and you do the yelf on his shelf saying,
oh watch out, little elf on the shelf is watching you.
Fuck that Noise Bailey Jenny bea behave yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I mean, I agree. I just think that some kids
are menaces. And my nephew is one of them. Because
my niece is an angel, my nephew is a little you.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Know what, and he's a little asshole.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, and it's like and I love him, and he's
actually very very well behaved at like daycare or school
and stuff like that, but at home he is just
a little devil. So, I mean, I have heard my
sister threaten him so many times and say Santa's not
bringing in presents, you know this and this, and that
you're not getting.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
A birthday party anymore. Like I've heard all the.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Threats, all the hollow threats.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, it's just nothing. Nothing works with him, Nothing makes
him listen. I can get him to listen to me,
usually because I'm the cool aunt. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, I don't know what the solution is to that.
I do know that hollow threats are just they're so effective.
If you don't stop right now, you're going to bed.
I mean it. If you don't stop right okay, that's it,
you're going to bed. Okay, that's it. You're going to bed.
And you don't put them to bed. Oh at that Okay.
My favorite story, I've told it a million times, and
here comes the million In first, we were at a
pool at the Billings Koa campground and there was a
(16:17):
mom with her two boys, probably eight and ten years old,
and the boys were being little brats and little assholes,
and mom was on the side of the pool going
and if.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
You like, don't stop that, you're not going to get
into the ice cream. Okay, that's shot. Okay, no ice cream.
No okay, that's shit. No ice cream all afternoon? Okay,
that shit, no ice cream. Later we saw them she
did it all afternoon. Later, we saw them eating ice
cream and playing mini golf, and I'm like, no, wonder
the kids are assholes because they know that it's not.
(16:47):
It's a hollow, a hollow threat. Yeah you guys here,
you guys, if you don't stop schnotting it, don't snod
in the pool.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Because they were blowing snot in the pool. Yeah what
and my kid did that, It'd be like immediately I
would yank them by the ears, both ears. I remember
one time speaking of yank by the year. This is
how I knew to respect my dad. I was the
church that we went to was across the street from
a little convenience store. And I don't know why. I
(17:20):
wasn't supposed to be the convenience store, but I was
over there looking at toy wooden gliders. You know what
a toy wooden glider is, a little balsa wood glider.
And I was going to spend my you know, seventy
five cents on a bals of wood glider. My dad
in his suit and his cowboy hat. I can still
picture him, storms into the store, looks around. I see
(17:41):
him up at the front of the store looking around.
He spots me, comes down the aisle, grabs me by
the ear, and led me out of the store by
the ear. I don't remember why. I was probably skipping
Sunday school orse saying something, are you in trouble? I don't, Wow,
But that store is still there. And when I go
(18:04):
into that store, I can still my ear felt hot
the rest of the day. All the blood in my
body rushed to that ear and it felt hot.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
And every time you're in that store, your ear gets hot.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
One But again, I look at it affectionately now because,
like I said, the story is still there, and I
stopped there almost every time I'm in Colorado, and I
still picture like, there's the aisle. The setup has changed
a little bit. Yeah, but there's where Dad stood with
his fists clinched and his cowboy hat and his suit
on looking for David. All right, that's gonna do it
for the Minnesota. Goodbye for today. Thank you for listening.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
