Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, it's in Minnesota. Goodbye. It's Jenny, Bailly and Von.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
All right, so just starting, not right off the bat,
we would love your emails because we're a little bit low.
I think there's some waiting in the inbox that Dave
hasn't gotten to.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
So there's a couple of those that we'll get to.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
But if for some reason your email hasn't been read recently,
resend it and we'll get to it. But please just
make it a little bit short, because sometimes the emails
are too long and then Dave doesn't read it in
deletes or something, and that's why we maybe haven't read it.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
So and if you wanted to ask anything specifically or
girls only, then that's me, Jenny and vont girls only.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Oh my god, you guys. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I just got really distracted because I like felt this
weird itch and I looked at my finger and I
think I have a spider bite.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Ew It's like, that's why you've hat had nightmares. Jenny's
been having nightmares.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I have been having nightmares and like waking up profusely sweating.
So I just did not sleep well last night. Benjamin's
coming in to work today just behind the scenes were
recording this very early on Tuesday morning, and I said,
Benjamin's coming into work.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Technically, yeah, he kind of is. He's going into play
a game with us.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
And he always offers to buy coffee, and a lot
of times I feel bad at like taking him up
on that offer, but today I was like, fuck it,
give me coffee.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I need coffee. You were like, I'm gonna take a mint.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, I am doing it today, So okay. Moving on
to an email, it says, hello, all, I'm annoyed, hurt, mad,
and just feeling icky. I don't know what to do
about this and was wondering if you guys can help. So,
my best friend since seventh grade is pregnant. We're long
distance besties. She lives in Iowa, I'm in Minnesota. I'm
so excited for her and cannot wait for my little
(01:40):
Bustie to arrive. However, I feel more distant from her
than ever. She doesn't include me in her life, keep
me updated with things, newfound experiences, or what's going on
in her daily life as a first time pregnant woman.
Am I being selfish? I mean, I understand she's busy
and whatnot, but I know that if I were pregnant,
I'd be talking with my girlfriends every day about it.
(02:00):
I feel left out, dismissed, and taken advantage of.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So she's kind of wondered.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
She goes on to kind of explain things a little
bit more, but she's kind of wondering, like is she
being selfish that she's not being included in like her
life right now as she's pregnant. It's so hard because
obviously Von's never been pregnant Bailey and I haven't.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Either, but I have friends that have been pregnant, you.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Know, but it's hard to speak on like what it's
like to be pregnant and how like what it does
to you mentally, what it does to you physically, and
what you can keep up with your friendships. So I
can imagine it probably, you know, it messes with your hormones,
it messes with like your mental state. Sometimes it messes
with you physically being able to do things. Yeah, so
I can see why she might not be as good
(02:45):
of a friend to you as she has in the past.
But I would feel probably hurt a little bit myself
if you guys were are so close and she's not
really including you in anything.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, I agree, I would probably feel upset, but like
if you're invited to a baby shower at all, then
I would say like, okay, that's inclusion enough, or it
would be for me maybe, but also I feel it.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So I had a friend, her name is Sarah.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
She's still my friend, but when she was pregnant, she
had like a hard time because everyone was talking to
her like she was a pregnant person and not Sarah anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Like that's all she.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Was was oh new mommy, Oh baby's in there. Bah.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
That's all she was was pregnant. And she feels the
same way now, she's like all I am is a mom.
I'm not my own person anymore. And when she was
pregnant the first time, I tried everything within my power
to only ever talk to her as Sarah and not
as Sarah who's about to have a baby, and she
said she really appreciated it. So I don't know, Obviously
(03:51):
your friends are different, you're a different person, but I
don't know, Maybe give it a give it a whirl,
and instead of asking her about her pregnancy, ask her
about herself if you want to make a conversation, because
maybe she'll appreciate not just being a pregnant person, because
that does take up a lot of your time when
you are pregnant, because that's all anyone wants to.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Talk to you about.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, and this comes from Brianna, and Brianna says specifically,
I mean, I understand she's busy and whatnot, but I
know that if I were pregnant, I'd be talking with
my girlfriends every day about it. So literally, Bailey said
like the opposite of, you know, like her friend really was.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Like I want to talk.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't want to talk about being pregnant all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And I can imagine that, Yeah, you probably do get
pigeonholed until like it's like the small talk conversation you
would have with a pregnant person, like someone in our
office is pregnant. That I just like realized the other
day because I finally saw this like big round belly
on her because she hadn't really announced it super publicly,
and the first thing, of course I wanted to say
was like, oh my god, like you're pregnant or whatever,
But like I haven't really said anything to her about
(04:48):
it because she hasn't really publicly announced it, So I'm like,
maybe she doesn't want us talk you mention it.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Yeah, but do you know that because, like you said,
women when you get pregnant, like I'm sure you you don't,
they have no clue, especially with your first time being pregnant.
Do you know that if when you get pregnant, you're
gonna be still all over in your girlfriend's lives, Like
maybe that's what Maybe you getting pregnant, not saying go
get pregnant, but you'll be like, oh, okay, I understand
why because she just kind of wants to chill, keep
to herself.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I think your relationships definitely change once your circle starts
getting pregnant, having babies, yeah, getting married, fully agree.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Okay, Well, Brianna, I hope we helped you out.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Like I think Bailey gave the best advice of maybe
just like try to talk to her as if you
guys are two best friends and one of you is
not growing a child inside of them and see if
things change a little bit. But you are warranted in
being hurt that like you're you know, like it kind
of feels a little bit like not that she's breaking
up with you, but it feels a little bit of
(05:47):
a friendship breakup in the sense that you guys don't
seem to be as close as you have been since
seventh grade, So just so your feelings are warranted for
being a little.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Sad about this. Yeah, okay, let's see.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
So this comes in and it says, hello, crew, I
know last week or so you're talking about safe air
T shirts would quote it's for the bit, be too inside.
I just heard Barey say it and thought that would
be a perfect T shirt. All right, that comes from Shileena.
I hope I said that correct. I think it's too
inside unfortunately. Yeah, and so I think that it's a
(06:22):
great idea though, because we definitely Bailey says it a lot.
I think some I wouldn't say I say it's for
the bit much, but I say like it's a bit
or but yeah, stuff like that a little bit. So yeah,
I would say it's a little inside. But it's a
great idea. We appreciate it because we talk so fucking
much on the show that we forget half of the
(06:42):
things that we say that Like people clock is like,
oh they say this a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I mean, the only reason I say anything about goodbit
is because of this show. Because Dave and Steve used
to say good bet all the time to each other
and high key. I have been considering tattooing the phrase
good bit onto my skin. Really yeah, I want to
do it on arm? Why because it's funny. It's for
the bit man, good bit.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I don't know. I do a lot of things for
the bit, but everything.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Is comedy to me. That's my That's why I'm probably
mentally ill. It's for all for a comedy.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
That's why what.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
We did that was a we consider that when we
were trying to think of state Fair slogans and stuff
we went through. I don't know if you remember you listening,
remember our Dave Rydin Show bingo card something we did
on our Instagram like months.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Ago, and good Bit was on there.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
It was like cross like a bingo card of things
that we say and we were like, we don't know
about that good.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Bit, good bed.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'm just trying to see if there's any more emails
that we haven't gotten to, because when an emails already open,
I'm like, eh, did we read that? And Da've just
forgot to delete it. But I don't think we've gotten
to this one. It says a hell of my favorite
morning show peeps. I ever random question shown as a
person who attends a lot of concerts but I don't
win enough tickets. I've wondered about the people who do
win tickets on the radio. If someone calls into Wednesday
(07:55):
Ticket Take Tuesday and they need handicapped tickets, do you
give them handicaps seas or are they sol because the
seats you have to give away are not designated for that.
I wonder because handicap seats usually have a great unobstructed view. Also,
say there's a large Taylor Swift like show with eighty
thousand tickets and only one hundred handicap seats, but someone
(08:15):
truly needs one, but they are sold out of that section,
and what do they do? Just random thoughts your friend Rachel. Rachel,
I don't think I have an answer for that. I'm
pretty sure we do not ever give out handicap seats.
I think that I can't speak on this fully, but
I think unlike probably not for Taylor Swift, but a
lot of concerts, I'm sure that they keep handicap seats
(08:38):
open for the just in case situations. So there's probably
at least a handful that are open where you can
go up and be like, hey, are their handicap seats,
but we don't give out specific handicap seats with the
ticket giveaways we have because those aren't the tickets.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
That were given.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It's not that we wouldn't like to, it's just that
we just don't aren't given those.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Ts, right, And because it depends on what the venue
gives us, right yeaeah, it's not.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Like we're it's actually usually the record label that gives
us tickets. But I don't know, it's all behind the
scenes stuff that it doesn't really matter or answer stack.
And then in terms of the Taylor Swift like show,
I mean pretty much the same thing. Like they probably
excuse me, they probably would be sold out of the
(09:23):
handicap seats at something like that. And in that case,
I think if you win tickets and you need a
handicapped seat and you really want to see Taylor Swift,
you might be able to figure out a way if
you're capable of sitting in a seat. I know that
a lot of people are in a wheelchair full time,
so that obviously is not doable in a non handicap seat.
But if you're just for say, on crutches or something,
(09:46):
because you broke your foot, then I think you probably
are willing to sit use your crutches to get to
whatever seat you got for Taylor Swift and not have
a handicap seat.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
But yeah, though that is I wish we knew the
answer steat.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I know that our like the seating in general kind
of varies, though it does for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
So, like I said, we do need some emails because
we're all out now, Dave not Dave, Ryan Show at
Katie What is it?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
You're doing great?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Right?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Ryanshow? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, I don't know. Guys, we have to like promote
so many things.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
So Ryan Show at katweb dot com, please send us
your emails. One thing I wanted to talk about was
I think I kind of brought this up maybe on
the radio yesterday, but I had hosted this bachelor party
on Saturday, and I had also done this photo shoot
thing on Friday night over the weekend and Saturday. When
I tell you, I don't know that I've ever felt
so socially drained before in my life.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I really mean it.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I went home and I just didn't want to do anything.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I turned the TV on. I was watching a dog.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So it was nice to have like a furry friend
there to be like in my company. Yeah, but I
am so happy there was no other human in my
company at that time, because I just felt so drained
and I had so much fun at everything I did
over the weekend, but I literally was like, I don't
want to see humans for a long time. But then
I went and played pickball the next day, and yeah,
like socialized afterwards, so I.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Was like, for charged the next day.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That's fine, right, But I just like was very shocked
because I had said this on the radio. How I
kind of left right after dinner got done because that
was the end technically of the Bachelor I party, that
was the end of the itinerary. But I felt bad
because I'm not normally that person to do that, Like
I stick around. Maybe if we wanted to get drinks,
I would have done that, but I just was out
of there. So do you guys feel like Bailey is
(11:31):
so the opposite because you've been at Fringe constantly?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
But like, yeah, I would say, because in general right now,
like that's all I'm doing is being social and going
to stuff, and like I am talking to people constantly
for the last like you know, or twelve days of time.
And I really do like it. But I definitely see
value in being able to just like sit at home
and watch TV quietly and like hang out with my
(11:57):
cat because I do really miss my cat right now
because I just feel like I'm a bad mother. But I,
I mean, obviously I'm a different person than you, but like,
I don't know, it's different when you're for me, it's
different when you're hanging out with like friends that you
know how to talk to them, versus like acquaintances where
you don't even know how exactly they like feel about
(12:17):
you or know anything about them that much. So then
it's just like having shallow conversation versus good conversation. Cause
I think being like around people having shallow conversation for
four hours or five hours or two hours or whatever,
that's draining, because yeah, like doing Olympics in your brain
trying to figure out.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
What to talk about.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And so the bachelor party that I hosted, I genuinely
only really had like one friend in that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Group of twelve girls, and that's exhausting, I think.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, And so it was like I kind of knew,
like I knew some of the girls already, but not
outside of the fact that like we were all at
my friend's Halloween party together, you know, so it's not
like something where we talk constantly or anything like that.
So it was Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily call shallow, but
like just those small talk conversations about things, and so
(13:05):
maybe that's what it was. But like, I think it
was the fact that I was hosting it, right obviously, yeah, right,
And honestly, I didn't really feel like I had to
do much in terms of like hosting it, but I
was in charge of making sure everything that happened was
supposed to happen, and I am just such a perfectionist
that I wanted it to be great, and so I
just like, and everyone in that group was really chill,
(13:27):
Like I don't know, so I think I was overly
stressing myself out on top of it. But vanta I
think is you get a social battery drain very much.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
So yeah, I think for me it's gotten worse in
the past two years because since I moved here, only
because I don't have many I would say, if any
close friends here, so like anybody that I'm going out
with or like they're like coworkers but like friends or
like friends of Alyssa's or whatever, so like they're not
people that in my mind, I go into it like, Okay,
this is not like a close, close friend that I
(13:56):
would sit hours with, just transparently that I would sit
and just you know, you can stay the night of
my house if you had a fallen asleep here right, So,
like even a couple of weeks ago, I won't say
where I went because I think they listen. Alyssa and
I went out with people, and I went into it like, Okay,
make sure you keep the social battery up, or like
Bailey was saying during the Olympics of like trying to
find things to talk about, and in the middle of it,
(14:16):
I really was just like fuck this, I'm just so
over this. And so I think it's hard, I guess,
just as somebody who my batteries like that.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
But in addition, I.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I don't want to say, don't necessarily care, but like
I care a little bit less than I would if
this was like a family member or a really really
close friends. So it's tough. It really is, I mean,
and everybody's social battery is different. It depends on like
I guess, the day that you had, how long or
what you're doing. Like Jenny, you went into it already
before you even got with the people. You were planning
things and shit you were trying to make sure so
that takes also part of the battery too.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
That is part of the social battery.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
No, it definitely is.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
And of course, like that morning, all the activity started
at ten am, I was like last minute grabbing random
shit to make things ea better. I ended up putting
together like more food because I'd put this list together
to have people sign up for things, and most things
were covered except for a few, so then I ended
up doing more myself. So yeah, it was just a
whole lot. But I just, man, I'm telling you that
(15:13):
drive home from Saint Paul back to Saint Louis Park,
I was just like in this zone of get me
the fuck home and like, let me pet this dog
I'm watching and I am gonna be so happy when
I crawl into my bed. All right, Well, if you
have anything you want to chat about your social battery
being drained, or maybe you're like Bailey who is social
(15:34):
and loves it to all that good stuff, feel free
to email us. Once again, I fucked it up earlier,
but it's Ryan's show. Yes, katiewb dot com
