(00:00):
We don't know what we're gonna getinto today on the Minnesota Goodbye, so
let's find out because we have nothad time to pre read. So it's
kind of like sticking your hand intoa mystery box. Is there a Delicious
Hostess cupcake in there? Or isit a King Cobra? Oh one or
the other? I mean, Idon't know. So are we putting in
(00:22):
our hands in boxes? Is thisin the studio because there could be a
King Cobra if that's the case,right, I never know? All right.
I've tried and tried to call ina no phone screen or Friday to
discuss this because this memory lives rentfree in my mind and I think about
it way too often. This emailis directed toward Davis. He was the
only one around. Oh boy,okay, let's see. I remember when
(00:43):
I was young. I'm thirty sixnow. KDWB did this contest at Valley
Fair. People were chosen to completecompete to win something. I swear I
remember it being a car, butI could be totally wrong. The competition
consisted of people writing the wild Thingroller coaster NonStop and no breaks. Last
person standing wins. What was that? I can only remember bits and pieces.
(01:03):
I want to know when that happened, what the rules were, what
they want, etc. Also curiouswhy there are no competitions like this.
Well, that one was a littlebit tense anymore on KATWB, I feel
like contests used to be a lotmore interactive back then. Am I wrong?
Ps? Love all four of youso much. Thanks for keeping me
saying on office days From Lindsay Lindsay, I love that question. I do
(01:26):
remember that we called it ride Itto drive It, I think, and
I would say it was around theyear of two thousand and four or so,
and we gave away a Scion,a Toyota Scion, which is as
like a very boxy looking car.And I think we did it two years
(01:49):
in a row, and we likepartnered with Valley Fair and we broadcast from
the park at the entrance to theride, and people would ride it NonStop.
I think they kept it off inthe middle of the night so you
had to sleep in the car though, And I think they gave bathroom breaks.
I don't remember, but I thinkthey gave a bathroom break in like
every hour to eat or whatever,because you know, we didn't want people
(02:12):
to be sick and dangerous and youknow, burst of bladder or outs.
Yeah, and I remember there wereone year it got down to two people
that would not get off. Theyjust would not get off. And so
the Toyota dealership, and I don'tremember who it was, they gave each
of them a Toyota Scion. Thatwas cool. Why don't we do those
(02:35):
anymore? I think, should Itell you or should I not tell you?
I tell us what I don't knowthat I know. The answered that
the radio station doesn't want prizes togive away anymore. We want money.
We want money on the books.So in other words, if Toyota is
willing to give us two fifteen thousanddollars cars, the company and not KATIEWB
(02:57):
with the company, will say,we don't want cars to give away.
We want money on the books.So, in other words, by advertising
with cash, not by trading usa car for advertising. Sure. And
that's why you know, at onetime KATIWB thirty years ago gave away a
fucking house. What it was ahouse, It was a one hundred and
(03:19):
twenty five thousand dollars. We calledit a dream home. And back then,
one hundred and twenty five thousand dollarsin the suburbs of the Twin Cities
would buy a pretty nice house.Yeah, that same house now would easily
go for half a million dollars.Sure, yeah, wow, But we
don't do that anymore because we wantmoney on the books. So that's why
you don't hear us give away,you know, a house or a boat
(03:43):
or a motorcycle. I don't.I don't remember growing up to like a
lot of contests like that, butI do remember like the you got to
keep a body part on a car? Yes, those one. There's a
musical about that. Eh, It'scalled hands on a Hard Body? Are
you serious? Yeah. It's abouta bunch of people who have to keep
one of their hands on on likea Ford, so that they can win
it. And then they just sitthere saying, with their hand on a
(04:03):
Ford, hands on a hard body, hands on a hard body. That's
funny. We got to do abit where we just got to keep their
hand on vont So in other words, if you let if you let go
of vaunt, you lose. Writethat down, Jenny, because I'm kind
of half kidding but kind of halfserious, where we have a bunch of
people and they have to keep touchingvont the entire time. You're gonna win.
(04:24):
I'm gonna win. He doesn't evenknowing or our listener is going to
play. I think listeners would play. I don't know what the prize would
be. I think we're gonna haveto get a permission slip from Alissa,
his girlfriend first for that one.He lives in New Jersey, tried want
to be touched by many strange people. I'm going to tell you one more
(04:46):
giveaway story that I've probably told before, but it's such a salacious, awful
giveaway story that I got to tellyou. So we teamed up with I
want to say, Denny Hecker,back when Denny Hecker was a big,
huge local car dealer. And soso let's say we had a Ford I
don't know, a Ford Escape togive away. I don't know what it
was. Let's say it was afod escape, I don't know. And
(05:08):
the game was called live in itto win it, and you had to
live in a car at the cardealership on the car dealership floor longer than
anybody else, and you got abreak for a bathroom or whatever, and
like every hour you got five minutesfor the bathroom and you had to eat.
(05:28):
You could eat in the car,but any trash from your Rby's or
McDonald's had to stay in the car. And this was going to go on
for a week or two. Wehad two people up front, two people
in the back, and so itall goes through day number one. So
day number one is like, Aha, Jennifer, how's it going in the
car? Oh, it's getting alittle hot in here, or it's kind
of smelly because somebody bought Chinese food. Whatever, And we check in all
(05:53):
day and at night everybody goes homeexcept one person. Had an intern who
was probably twenty years old, probablyfrom Concordia or somewhere. Keep an eye
on these people in the car onthe middle of the night, make sure
that they don't cheat, and getout and you know, walk around.
Okay, yeah, no problem.So the next morning I get into work
(06:15):
and the contest was already over.Wow. The reason it was already over
was because there was one guy inthe car and I think the other two
were maybe like maybe two women orthree women. I'm not sure, but
at least two were women. Andthere was one guy in the car whose
strategy was to tell the other contestantsif you don't let me win, I'm
(06:39):
gonna fucking kill you. That isterrifying, isn't that. If you don't
let me win, I'm gonna murderyou. I'm gonna murder you and your
family. So you gotta fucking letme win. And then he took a
can of like pop and he pouredit on the floor and he said,
this is my car. I'll dowhatever the fuck I want with this car.
You might as well give up now, because if you don't give up,
I'm gonna fucking kill you. Ohmy god. Now, we had
an intern stationed there, you keepan eye on things. They didn't know
(07:01):
what to do, and they werean interneah. And so the next morning,
before it was even twenty four hours, the whole contest that was supposed
to last a week or two wasover. Wow. Denny Hecker's people were
pissed. Our management was pissed.And you know who got the blame for
it, Dave Ryan. And whichwas totally unfair because I was not in
(07:25):
charge of who was policing this contest. In the middle of the night,
the promotions department at the time leftthis person in charge with no instructions on
like if they get funny in themiddle of the night, call me yeah,
or if this happened, you tellhim to stop, which I feel
bad for the intern in that situation. They didn't know. Yeah, I
felt bad too, but I gotthe blame for it, and I took
(07:49):
the heat for I think because Ichose the contestant because I wanted somebody and
he wasn't really a murderer. Thatwas just his strategy. It was a
fucked up strategy. Did he Theydidn't give him the car? Did he?
I think they did. Really,I was just gonna ask that.
I was like, did he actuallyget to get it? But like,
what were the rules of the contestbecause you always have to sign waiver reforms
(08:11):
for things like that. There shouldhave probably been something in the forum like
you cannot threaten other contestant. Idon't think we had that eventuality. I
mean, it's like, now,in hindsight, it'd be like, yeah,
you cannot make physical threats against theother people, but that wasn't in
the rules and it worked. Yougave him the benefit of the doubt.
This is not going to be aweirdo creep. No, and he was
actually a very nice, charming twentythree year old kid who that was just
(08:33):
his strategy. All right, enoughof that story, let's move on.
Day. God, I don't reallyknow that that's a strategy though. That's
a personality trait because I would neverever ever threaten someone for a car.
Uh all right, thank you,Lindsay. Next one. No, this
is somebody who was asking for NewKids on the Block tickets, and you
(08:54):
know, I look at those.I do look at the New Kids on
the Block tickets or what contest orticket requests. A lot of the time
we just don't have extras, andthe ones that we get, we are
obligated to give away on the radio. For example, let's say if we
had a bunch of Taylor Swift tickets, you can call in and tell me
the world's saddest story, but weare obligated to give that away Wednesday at
(09:18):
four o'clock or Thursday morning at seven. So we really don't have a lot
of discretion with those. But youknow, I'll read your story later,
then I'll delete it. No,I'm kidding, Okay, Next one,
Hi, Gang, and I meanGang. I love the fullness of the
show. Congrats Vonton Bailey, sogood to have you in my ear holes.
(09:39):
I'm writing with a bit of adviceas a fifty seven year old who
can relate to Susan's state of mind. I was talking this morning about how
Susan just says he's sad, shehas nothing to look forward to. Dave,
I'd say, just let her feelit without you overthinking it or needing
to fix it. It's about her. She probably just needs to feel her
way through it in a comforting placelike home, knowing she can share how
(10:00):
she feels out loud without you freakingout or taking it personally. It's pretty
important. I have one grown upchild and now grandkids and a son in
law, and I still go throughmoments of feeling lost or aimless, what's
next for me? Grasping at whoam I now? But life is full
of that shit. It ebbs andflows, for sure. I need to
(10:20):
remind myself of that all the time. She'll be okay. Kudos for her
saying it out loud instead of doingand kudos for noticing she was struggling and
asking her about it. Yeah,because I was like, you know,
I'm like, what's wrong, I'mnothing, And then she started to cry,
and I'm like, okay, what'swrong? Yeah, and so we
talked about that on the show today. Thank you, Kim. Just say
(10:41):
like, do you want to belistened to or do you want help problem
solving or something? Just validate herfeelings in whatever way you can. I
only learned that a couple of yearsago that a lot of the time guys
are you know. I don't wantto sound sexist, so don't point this
out, but guys tend to wantto solve problems. Oh I do that
too. You want to solve problems. So if I say something like you
(11:03):
like, you know, I'm sotorn between whether I need to go back
to school or join the military,you will solve it. For men,
like what let's make a pros andcons list versus like, Oh, tell
me more about that kind of thing. Yeah, I wish I was better
at just listening. What are you, Jenny? I'm definitely a listener for
(11:24):
the most part and a comforter.I think they say, do you you
should tell your partner to ask youif you want comforter counseling? Oh yeah,
because Andrew is very guilty of beingthat person too. He's always playing
devil's advocate in scenarios and He's alwaysgiving me advice, and sometimes I just
want to talk and I don't soyeah, I I but I definitely do
(11:48):
it sometimes too. I think weall do. It's like I think that
I've learned in the last couple ofyears a lot of time women when they
say I've really got a hard thinggoing on down at work. My boss
takes credit for everything that I do, and my tendency has always been like,
well, let's do this, Let'smake sure that you reach out to
her supervisor and blah blah blah.And sometimes women just want to be heard.
(12:11):
Yeah. I mean, that's thatgoes for anybody, because, like
I like problem solving, sometimes peoplejust need to be listened to. Man
or woman or any next one.Don't say my name. I'm struggling to
make a decision and it will takeany guidance that I can get. I
am a thirty two year old womanlooking for my forever. Shortly after getting
out of my last relationship, Iquickly met a guy through work. Similar
(12:35):
personalities compatible, very attracted him physically. Our only issues are and here they
come. Mm hm. He isforty nine, Oh god, I am
thirty two, seventeen years he isdivorced with three daughters fifteen, thirteen,
eleven who live with their mom.Obviously it's not my dream scenario, but
(12:56):
I'm in love with the guy.Part of me feels, who cares about
the age gap? You'll chareish,however many years you have with him and
being a step mom is not uncommon. But the other part of me thinks,
seventeen years isn't a big deal now, as he doesn't look or act
like it. But what happens whenhe's eighty seven and I'm seventy and being
a stepmom on top of wanting tohave kids on my own, My kids
(13:18):
and I will be sharing husband dadtime with the stepkids. I'm trying to
decide whether to fully commit to himor let him go and go back to
dating to see if I find asgood a connection with somebody who isn't as
old and doesn't have any kids.Any fatherly or friendly advice would be much
appreciated. All or right, AndI won't say her name. I say
go for it. I say youwill regret it if you don't. But
(13:41):
I might be wrong, but Iwould say go ahead and go for it.
Seventeen years is a big age gap. It's not a big deal now
because you're both young enough to enjoyeach other and enjoy life and go bike
riding and climbing and whatever. Butthe kids, I would say, the
kids are old enough they might resentyou for And I would also wonder why
(14:03):
did they live full time with theirmom? Yeah, that was my first
thing that I thought of. Isthat makes me throw up a red flag
as to what is the reasoning behindthat. I know that there are situations
where like maybe they live an hourapart, so the kids stay with mom
to go to school and have likesome regular schedule. But that's a little
(14:24):
bit strange to me. I thinkso too, because it's either the dad
wasn't really their favorite or they didn'tlike he wasn't really fond of the idea.
I don't know, but I wouldsee do a little bit digging and
find out why the kids live fulltime with their mom, because you would
think that they at least share custody, right they might live a long way
(14:46):
apart. Yeah, And his answeris like, because that bitch is a
fucking psycho. Now you know you'vegot a problem. Yeah, so you
think, yeah, oh for surethat walk away immediately if that's the system,
but I don't know. I alsosay, like, if you like
him so much, go for it. I think you just have to weigh
like potential lifestyle differences throughout the years. That's the main thing. And I
(15:11):
know you mentioned when he's eighty sevenand she's seventy, but there's a lot
of other factors that come into playthroughout the years too. Well. I'll
tell you this one. I cando anything at my age. I'm sixty
one now, and I can doanything that I did when I was thirty
two. So he is twelve yearsyounger than me. He is absolutely going
to be able to keep up witha thirty two year old. So I
(15:33):
could keep up with most thirty twoyear olds. I think a lot of
thirty two year olds would probably havetrouble keeping up with me. But also,
does she want kids? So that'sanother she does want kids? Yeah?
And Helmer does he want kids?That's a brand. Yeah, if
he's starting from scratch, yeah,good luck. I say go for it.
I say, you know, butfind out why he doesn't have the
(15:56):
kids, and you do have somethings to talk about, make it clear
that you do want kids. Goodluck. I'm gonna skip that one for
later. This one says bonjour,flechette lekaers. That means hello, ass
(16:17):
lickuerors. Fuck creativity. That soundstoo fancy. Oh, dart liquors is
what it means. Okay, ah, yes, much more my style.
Dave wanted to point out in responseto yesterday when you said you weren't sure
why celebrities didn't make themselves available forradio against Absolutely because they can do all
their own marketing, advertisement and endorsementsthrough their own social media pages. So
(16:38):
why get up early and head intoa radio station. Don't get me wrong,
I would totally get up early andcome hang out with you guys.
But I'm know Nelly, I'd lookridiculous with a band aid on my face.
Okay, you're funny. You shouldbe on the radio. That's a
really good point. But I willsay that the a lot of celebrities still
do. But maybe they're more selective, like they only go to like the
Elvis Durant Show or the Ryan Seacrestshow. Bobby Bones, that's another big
(17:03):
name. Yeah, onto my email. Some questions. I'm curious about when
you guys actually record the podcast.In the early days, it seemed like
you were actually doing it after themorning show. However, for a while
now Jenny always has to let youknow when to wrap up, so clearly
it must be happening during the morningshow. How does that work? What
about on days the podcast is longer, which I absolutely prefer, Please make
them all longer. Right now,we are at seventeen minutes. We're doing
(17:29):
it today after the show because we'vehad a very fun, busy show today
and there was no gaps where wehad a chance to do the podcast.
But like on Fridays when War ofthe Roses replay is on, we'll record
the podcast between six twenty and seveno'clock. Sometimes during the week when we
do have a replay of like theDance Party followed by War of the Roses
(17:51):
replay, then we can also doit. So it's like, okay,
why not economize, right, Buttoday on Wednesday, it's eleven thirty four
in the morning and we been workingon show stuff and recording some content that
we haven't any time yep, Sothis is a little bit later, and
you got to get out of herebecause you've got editing of content to do.
Jenny, and then Bailey's having lunchwith Fallon today lunch with Fallon.
(18:14):
I hope she likes me. You'rea pretty likable person. I hope you
like her because, let me tellyou, I worked with that bitch for
years and I'm kidding. Yeah,Fallon's really easy to talk to. I
wish Jenny was going with me,so i'd have like a little like to
be scared of Fallon. Yeah,I'm scared, but I feel like I
am going on a date, andI know, I get it. You
(18:37):
know, she's really easy to bearound, and you're super talkative, So
I'm not worried about you guys atall. But have we all gone to
like we have a lunch date withsomebody and it's like, I don't know
what we're going to talk about.I don't want to talk. I don't
know what to say to them.And then you go and it's fine,
and you know, there might bea couple of starts and stops in conversation,
(18:59):
but then after a while you settlein. You're not as nervous anymore.
You'll do fine. I'm glad she'sa girl, so at least we'll
have that. Don't stare at hermole, now, she got a mole,
A mole on her forehead. Yes, so don't don't do it.
Oh gosh, but I'm thinking aboutit now. You're gonna stare at the
mole. How are you? It'sreal good to It's real good to meet
you, Bailey. My name's Fallon. Okay, you can't do that.
(19:22):
You can't do it with an easyconversation topic like how's your hemorrhoid doing?
How's your hemorrhid? Then that's agood idea. What does it look like?
Just showy? All right? Nextwith same person, Next question,
what is the deal with the microphoneflags? Do they have the Morning Show
(19:42):
on one side and Fallon and Culton the other? Is the Fallon and
Cult won a graphic? It waspreviously Fallon and Zach. Then they had
it changed over so fast when cultsstarted. I can't imagine they are being
changed between shows. Uh, theyactually are. So it was. I
will go ahead and take credit forthis trend because a couple of years ago
(20:02):
I said, we need to getthese microphone flags because I look at some
of the big shows in our company, like Mojo or Elvis Duran, and
they have microphone flags that say Mojoin the Morning or the Elvis Morning's show
or whatever. So I said,I'm going to buy these microphone flags so
with my own money, and itcosts probably several hundred dollars hundred. Wow.
We ordered these and then we stuckthem on the microphone, and I
(20:23):
remember the day we put them on. We all said, this isn't going
to work because it blocks so muchof our field of vision and it's right
there, three inches from our faceand it's all you can see. We
got used to it within a halfan hour. Yeah, you have the
hardest one of all of them becauseyours blocks looking between Bailey and I's microphones.
(20:45):
But we can still, like Baileyand I can look at each other
just side to side and look overat Vaughan. But you're the one that
kind of like has the most obstruction. M I feel like, But yeah,
you get used to it. Itotally got used to it. I
don't even notice it now, notat all. And it's good for you
know, like videos and things likethat, because it shows, you know,
hey, what is the show thatyou're watching? And then fallon when
(21:06):
she got the afternoon show, shestole my idea because people have been stealing
my ideas for centuries centuries. Yeah, and so she got the Fallon and
Zach microphone flag also paid for withher own money as far as I know,
And so then that changed, andso now it's Fallin and cult And
actually when we come in, Ithink it's kind of like, I don't
know, sometimes they change the microphoneflags and sometimes they don't. But it
(21:30):
takes how long Bailey to change it? Once you get the hang of it,
it probably takes like, I don'tknow, twenty five seconds. Yeah,
but you have to get the screwin and it's upside down and it
feels like you're in tech ad classin high school. It's hard. Okay,
So but that's the story with themicrophone flags. I know this is
probably getting long, so last thingand this will be the last email for
(21:52):
now. Content idea. I thinkyou should do house tours aka morning show
cribs. I can't be the onlyone who would find that extreme entertaining.
All right, Ta ta for now, gotta go diddle the bean, which
was something that hell did that comeup on the show. This is when
you were here a couple of weeksago. I don't know why we were
talking about that, but I rememberlabeling the title we titled it that,
(22:15):
but I don't red Bean God,I don't remember. Okay, she does
say kidding, but maybe she is. Maybe she isn't. One more thing,
Dave, thank you for being afather figure to a girl like me
who has a dad that just plainesucks. I sent a separate email about
this as this has already gotten toolong, and that is from uh,
Brianna. Brianna, thank you somuch. You know what, I will
(22:38):
accept that father figure honor. Uh. And I hear that often enough to
know that there's enough. There's alot of people out there, men and
women who've got kind of absent fathersor fathers who don't seem to really care
that much. So yeah, thatis a real honor for me. And
I will expect a Father's Day presentcoming up on Father's Day, which is
(23:03):
only a couple of weeks away fromwho from this person who's just seen this
bitch and everybody else it thinks thatthey that I'm a father figure. So
Brianna, I'm looking at you.Mail that twenty dollars Bill christ or or
some old spice. I think theold spice would be good. So I
start getting a bunch of cars inthe mail out from Yeah, I want
to Father's Day. You're gonna wonderare they really my child? Can I
(23:29):
tell you a story? Can Itell you a story? This is a
true story. I was quite promiscuousback when I was younger, like in
my twenties, I was. Itwas quite promiscuous. Wow. And I
would always ask are you on thepill? After I came and that's a
joke. That's a joke. Iknow you were just going into being promiscuous,
(23:52):
so that felt at all before wegot into the whole thing. I
would say, are you on thepill? Yeah, don't worry about it.
Okay, then we do our thing, but you never know. And
Philip, pills don't fail. Pillsdon't always work, they fail. Whatever.
Yeah, checking my mailbox and I'mprobably twenty four, twenty six years
(24:12):
old, I get a Father's Daycard with no return address. Geez,
and I don't remember what the insidesaid, but I looked at it,
going, do I have a kidout there that I don't know about?
Or is this somebody's funny idea ofa joke? And to this day,
(24:37):
I don't know for sure. ButI never heard from any kid ever who
wrote and said you're my dad?So I think it was somebody trying to
be funny. It was a great, great joke. Why are they gonna
let you in on the joke card? Are they gonna send you another letter
soon? I remember, this isa long time ago, and nobody ever
said, hey, do you getthat funny Father's Day card? That was
(24:57):
me? Nope, so I don't. That's why they call you daddy Bear.
Thank you, Bailey, and we'llwrap it up with that. Send
your emails to Ryan's show at KADIWBdot com and send Father's Day cards to
well, you can look up theaddress online. That's it. Have a
great day and we'll see you tomorrow.
We don't know what we're gonna getinto today on the Minnesota Goodbye, so
let's find out because we have nothad time to pre read. So it's
kind of like sticking your hand intoa mystery box. Is there a Delicious
Hostess cupcake in there? Or isit a King Cobra? Oh one or
the other? I mean, Idon't know. So are we putting in
(00:22):
our hands in boxes? Is thisin the studio because there could be a
King Cobra if that's the case,right, I never know? All right.

Ps? Love all four of youso much. Thanks for keeping me
saying on office days From Lindsay Lindsay, I love that question. I do
(01:26):
remember that we called it ride Itto drive It, I think, and
I would say it was around theyear of two thousand and four or so,
and we gave away a Scion,a Toyota Scion, which is as
like a very boxy looking car.And I think we did it two years
(01:49):
in a row, and we likepartnered with Valley Fair and we broadcast from
the park at the entrance to theride, and people would ride it NonStop.
I think they kept it off inthe middle of the night so you
had to sleep in the car though, And I think they gave bathroom breaks.
I don't remember, but I thinkthey gave a bathroom break in like
every hour to eat or whatever,because you know, we didn't want people
(02:12):
to be sick and dangerous and youknow, burst of bladder or outs.
Yeah, and I remember there wereone year it got down to two people
that would not get off. Theyjust would not get off. And so
the Toyota dealership, and I don'tremember who it was, they gave each
of them a Toyota Scion. Thatwas cool. Why don't we do those
(02:35):
anymore? I think, should Itell you or should I not tell you?
I tell us what I don't knowthat I know. The answered that
the radio station doesn't want prizes togive away anymore. We want money.
We want money on the books.So in other words, if Toyota is
willing to give us two fifteen thousanddollars cars, the company and not KATIEWB
(02:57):
with the company, will say,we don't want cars to give away.
We want money on the books.So, in other words, by advertising
with cash, not by trading usa car for advertising. Sure. And
that's why you know, at onetime KATIWB thirty years ago gave away a
fucking house. What it was ahouse, It was a one hundred and
(03:19):
twenty five thousand dollars. We calledit a dream home. And back then,
one hundred and twenty five thousand dollarsin the suburbs of the Twin Cities
would buy a pretty nice house.Yeah, that same house now would easily
go for half a million dollars.Sure, yeah, wow, But we
don't do that anymore because we wantmoney on the books. So that's why
you don't hear us give away,you know, a house or a boat
(03:43):
or a motorcycle. I don't.I don't remember growing up to like a
lot of contests like that, butI do remember like the you got to
keep a body part on a car? Yes, those one. There's a
musical about that. Eh, It'scalled hands on a Hard Body? Are
you serious? Yeah. It's abouta bunch of people who have to keep
one of their hands on on likea Ford, so that they can win
it. And then they just sitthere saying, with their hand on a
(04:03):
Ford, hands on a hard body, hands on a hard body. That's
funny. We got to do abit where we just got to keep their
hand on vont So in other words, if you let if you let go
of vaunt, you lose. Writethat down, Jenny, because I'm kind
of half kidding but kind of halfserious, where we have a bunch of
people and they have to keep touchingvont the entire time. You're gonna win.
(04:24):
I'm gonna win. He doesn't evenknowing or our listener is going to
play. I think listeners would play. I don't know what the prize would
be. I think we're gonna haveto get a permission slip from Alissa,
his girlfriend first for that one.He lives in New Jersey, tried want
to be touched by many strange people. I'm going to tell you one more
(04:46):
giveaway story that I've probably told before, but it's such a salacious, awful
giveaway story that I got to tellyou. So we teamed up with I
want to say, Denny Hecker,back when Denny Hecker was a big,
huge local car dealer. And soso let's say we had a Ford I
don't know, a Ford Escape togive away. I don't know what it
was. Let's say it was afod escape, I don't know. And
(05:08):
the game was called live in itto win it, and you had to
live in a car at the cardealership on the car dealership floor longer than
anybody else, and you got abreak for a bathroom or whatever, and
like every hour you got five minutesfor the bathroom and you had to eat.
(05:28):
You could eat in the car,but any trash from your Rby's or
McDonald's had to stay in the car. And this was going to go on
for a week or two. Wehad two people up front, two people
in the back, and so itall goes through day number one. So
day number one is like, Aha, Jennifer, how's it going in the
car? Oh, it's getting alittle hot in here, or it's kind
of smelly because somebody bought Chinese food. Whatever, And we check in all
(05:53):
day and at night everybody goes homeexcept one person. Had an intern who
was probably twenty years old, probablyfrom Concordia or somewhere. Keep an eye
on these people in the car onthe middle of the night, make sure
that they don't cheat, and getout and you know, walk around.
Okay, yeah, no problem.So the next morning I get into work
(06:15):
and the contest was already over.Wow. The reason it was already over
was because there was one guy inthe car and I think the other two
were maybe like maybe two women orthree women. I'm not sure, but
at least two were women. Andthere was one guy in the car whose
strategy was to tell the other contestantsif you don't let me win, I'm
(06:39):
gonna fucking kill you. That isterrifying, isn't that. If you don't
let me win, I'm gonna murderyou. I'm gonna murder you and your
family. So you gotta fucking letme win. And then he took a
can of like pop and he pouredit on the floor and he said,
this is my car. I'll dowhatever the fuck I want with this car.
You might as well give up now, because if you don't give up,
I'm gonna fucking kill you. Ohmy god. Now, we had
an intern stationed there, you keepan eye on things. They didn't know
(07:01):
what to do, and they werean interneah. And so the next morning,
before it was even twenty four hours, the whole contest that was supposed
to last a week or two wasover. Wow. Denny Hecker's people were
pissed. Our management was pissed.And you know who got the blame for
it, Dave Ryan. And whichwas totally unfair because I was not in
(07:25):
charge of who was policing this contest. In the middle of the night,
the promotions department at the time leftthis person in charge with no instructions on
like if they get funny in themiddle of the night, call me yeah,
or if this happened, you tellhim to stop, which I feel
bad for the intern in that situation. They didn't know. Yeah, I
felt bad too, but I gotthe blame for it, and I took
(07:49):
the heat for I think because Ichose the contestant because I wanted somebody and
he wasn't really a murderer. Thatwas just his strategy. It was a
fucked up strategy. Did he Theydidn't give him the car? Did he?
I think they did. Really,I was just gonna ask that.
I was like, did he actuallyget to get it? But like,
what were the rules of the contestbecause you always have to sign waiver reforms
(08:11):
for things like that. There shouldhave probably been something in the forum like
you cannot threaten other contestant. Idon't think we had that eventuality. I
mean, it's like, now,in hindsight, it'd be like, yeah,
you cannot make physical threats against theother people, but that wasn't in
the rules and it worked. Yougave him the benefit of the doubt.
This is not going to be aweirdo creep. No, and he was
actually a very nice, charming twentythree year old kid who that was just
(08:33):
his strategy. All right, enoughof that story, let's move on.
Day. God, I don't reallyknow that that's a strategy though. That's
a personality trait because I would neverever ever threaten someone for a car.
Uh all right, thank you,Lindsay. Next one. No, this
is somebody who was asking for NewKids on the Block tickets, and you
(08:54):
know, I look at those.I do look at the New Kids on
the Block tickets or what contest orticket requests. A lot of the time
we just don't have extras, andthe ones that we get, we are
obligated to give away on the radio. For example, let's say if we
had a bunch of Taylor Swift tickets, you can call in and tell me
the world's saddest story, but weare obligated to give that away Wednesday at
(09:18):
four o'clock or Thursday morning at seven. So we really don't have a lot
of discretion with those. But youknow, I'll read your story later,
then I'll delete it. No,I'm kidding, Okay, Next one,
Hi, Gang, and I meanGang. I love the fullness of the
show. Congrats Vonton Bailey, sogood to have you in my ear holes.
(09:39):
I'm writing with a bit of adviceas a fifty seven year old who
can relate to Susan's state of mind. I was talking this morning about how
Susan just says he's sad, shehas nothing to look forward to. Dave,
I'd say, just let her feelit without you overthinking it or needing
to fix it. It's about her. She probably just needs to feel her
way through it in a comforting placelike home, knowing she can share how
(10:00):
she feels out loud without you freakingout or taking it personally. It's pretty
important. I have one grown upchild and now grandkids and a son in
law, and I still go throughmoments of feeling lost or aimless, what's
next for me? Grasping at whoam I now? But life is full
of that shit. It ebbs andflows, for sure. I need to
(10:20):
remind myself of that all the time. She'll be okay. Kudos for her
saying it out loud instead of doingand kudos for noticing she was struggling and
asking her about it. Yeah,because I was like, you know,
I'm like, what's wrong, I'mnothing, And then she started to cry,
and I'm like, okay, what'swrong? Yeah, and so we
talked about that on the show today. Thank you, Kim. Just say
(10:41):
like, do you want to belistened to or do you want help problem
solving or something? Just validate herfeelings in whatever way you can. I
only learned that a couple of yearsago that a lot of the time guys
are you know. I don't wantto sound sexist, so don't point this
out, but guys tend to wantto solve problems. Oh I do that
too. You want to solve problems. So if I say something like you
(11:03):
like, you know, I'm sotorn between whether I need to go back
to school or join the military,you will solve it. For men,
like what let's make a pros andcons list versus like, Oh, tell
me more about that kind of thing. Yeah, I wish I was better
at just listening. What are you, Jenny? I'm definitely a listener for
(11:24):
the most part and a comforter.I think they say, do you you
should tell your partner to ask youif you want comforter counseling? Oh yeah,
because Andrew is very guilty of beingthat person too. He's always playing
devil's advocate in scenarios and He's alwaysgiving me advice, and sometimes I just
want to talk and I don't soyeah, I I but I definitely do
(11:48):
it sometimes too. I think weall do. It's like I think that
I've learned in the last couple ofyears a lot of time women when they
say I've really got a hard thinggoing on down at work. My boss
takes credit for everything that I do, and my tendency has always been like,
well, let's do this, Let'smake sure that you reach out to
her supervisor and blah blah blah.And sometimes women just want to be heard.
(12:11):
Yeah. I mean, that's thatgoes for anybody, because, like
I like problem solving, sometimes peoplejust need to be listened to. Man
or woman or any next one.Don't say my name. I'm struggling to
make a decision and it will takeany guidance that I can get. I
am a thirty two year old womanlooking for my forever. Shortly after getting
out of my last relationship, Iquickly met a guy through work. Similar
(12:35):
personalities compatible, very attracted him physically. Our only issues are and here they
come. Mm hm. He isforty nine, Oh god, I am
thirty two, seventeen years he isdivorced with three daughters fifteen, thirteen,
eleven who live with their mom.Obviously it's not my dream scenario, but
(12:56):
I'm in love with the guy.Part of me feels, who cares about
the age gap? You'll chareish,however many years you have with him and
being a step mom is not uncommon. But the other part of me thinks,
seventeen years isn't a big deal now, as he doesn't look or act
like it. But what happens whenhe's eighty seven and I'm seventy and being
a stepmom on top of wanting tohave kids on my own, My kids
(13:18):
and I will be sharing husband dadtime with the stepkids. I'm trying to
decide whether to fully commit to himor let him go and go back to
dating to see if I find asgood a connection with somebody who isn't as
old and doesn't have any kids.Any fatherly or friendly advice would be much
appreciated. All or right, AndI won't say her name. I say
go for it. I say youwill regret it if you don't. But
(13:41):
I might be wrong, but Iwould say go ahead and go for it.
Seventeen years is a big age gap. It's not a big deal now
because you're both young enough to enjoyeach other and enjoy life and go bike
riding and climbing and whatever. Butthe kids, I would say, the
kids are old enough they might resentyou for And I would also wonder why
(14:03):
did they live full time with theirmom? Yeah, that was my first
thing that I thought of. Isthat makes me throw up a red flag
as to what is the reasoning behindthat. I know that there are situations
where like maybe they live an hourapart, so the kids stay with mom
to go to school and have likesome regular schedule. But that's a little
(14:24):
bit strange to me. I thinkso too, because it's either the dad
wasn't really their favorite or they didn'tlike he wasn't really fond of the idea.
I don't know, but I wouldsee do a little bit digging and
find out why the kids live fulltime with their mom, because you would
think that they at least share custody, right they might live a long way
(14:46):
apart. Yeah, And his answeris like, because that bitch is a
fucking psycho. Now you know you'vegot a problem. Yeah, so you
think, yeah, oh for surethat walk away immediately if that's the system,
but I don't know. I alsosay, like, if you like
him so much, go for it. I think you just have to weigh
like potential lifestyle differences throughout the years. That's the main thing. And I
(15:11):
know you mentioned when he's eighty sevenand she's seventy, but there's a lot
of other factors that come into playthroughout the years too. Well. I'll
tell you this one. I cando anything at my age. I'm sixty
one now, and I can doanything that I did when I was thirty
two. So he is twelve yearsyounger than me. He is absolutely going
to be able to keep up witha thirty two year old. So I
(15:33):
could keep up with most thirty twoyear olds. I think a lot of
thirty two year olds would probably havetrouble keeping up with me. But also,
does she want kids? So that'sanother she does want kids? Yeah?
And Helmer does he want kids?That's a brand. Yeah, if
he's starting from scratch, yeah,good luck. I say go for it.
I say, you know, butfind out why he doesn't have the
(15:56):
kids, and you do have somethings to talk about, make it clear
that you do want kids. Goodluck. I'm gonna skip that one for
later. This one says bonjour,flechette lekaers. That means hello, ass
(16:17):
lickuerors. Fuck creativity. That soundstoo fancy. Oh, dart liquors is
what it means. Okay, ah, yes, much more my style.
Dave wanted to point out in responseto yesterday when you said you weren't sure
why celebrities didn't make themselves available forradio against Absolutely because they can do all
their own marketing, advertisement and endorsementsthrough their own social media pages. So
(16:38):
why get up early and head intoa radio station. Don't get me wrong,
I would totally get up early andcome hang out with you guys.
But I'm know Nelly, I'd lookridiculous with a band aid on my face.
Okay, you're funny. You shouldbe on the radio. That's a
really good point. But I willsay that the a lot of celebrities still
do. But maybe they're more selective, like they only go to like the
Elvis Durant Show or the Ryan Seacrestshow. Bobby Bones, that's another big
(17:03):
name. Yeah, onto my email. Some questions. I'm curious about when
you guys actually record the podcast.In the early days, it seemed like
you were actually doing it after themorning show. However, for a while
now Jenny always has to let youknow when to wrap up, so clearly
it must be happening during the morningshow. How does that work? What
about on days the podcast is longer, which I absolutely prefer, Please make
them all longer. Right now,we are at seventeen minutes. We're doing
(17:29):
it today after the show because we'vehad a very fun, busy show today
and there was no gaps where wehad a chance to do the podcast.
But like on Fridays when War ofthe Roses replay is on, we'll record
the podcast between six twenty and seveno'clock. Sometimes during the week when we
do have a replay of like theDance Party followed by War of the Roses
(17:51):
replay, then we can also doit. So it's like, okay,
why not economize, right, Buttoday on Wednesday, it's eleven thirty four
in the morning and we been workingon show stuff and recording some content that
we haven't any time yep, Sothis is a little bit later, and
you got to get out of herebecause you've got editing of content to do.
Jenny, and then Bailey's having lunchwith Fallon today lunch with Fallon.
(18:14):
I hope she likes me. You'rea pretty likable person. I hope you
like her because, let me tellyou, I worked with that bitch for
years and I'm kidding. Yeah,Fallon's really easy to talk to. I
wish Jenny was going with me,so i'd have like a little like to
be scared of Fallon. Yeah,I'm scared, but I feel like I
am going on a date, andI know, I get it. You
(18:37):
know, she's really easy to bearound, and you're super talkative, So
I'm not worried about you guys atall. But have we all gone to
like we have a lunch date withsomebody and it's like, I don't know
what we're going to talk about.I don't want to talk. I don't
know what to say to them.And then you go and it's fine,
and you know, there might bea couple of starts and stops in conversation,
(18:59):
but then after a while you settlein. You're not as nervous anymore.
You'll do fine. I'm glad she'sa girl, so at least we'll
have that. Don't stare at hermole, now, she got a mole,
A mole on her forehead. Yes, so don't don't do it.
Oh gosh, but I'm thinking aboutit now. You're gonna stare at the
mole. How are you? It'sreal good to It's real good to meet
you, Bailey. My name's Fallon. Okay, you can't do that.
(19:22):
You can't do it with an easyconversation topic like how's your hemorrhoid doing?
How's your hemorrhid? Then that's agood idea. What does it look like?
Just showy? All right? Nextwith same person, Next question,
what is the deal with the microphoneflags? Do they have the Morning Show
(19:42):
on one side and Fallon and Culton the other? Is the Fallon and
Cult won a graphic? It waspreviously Fallon and Zach. Then they had
it changed over so fast when cultsstarted. I can't imagine they are being
changed between shows. Uh, theyactually are. So it was. I
will go ahead and take credit forthis trend because a couple of years ago
(20:02):
I said, we need to getthese microphone flags because I look at some
of the big shows in our company, like Mojo or Elvis Duran, and
they have microphone flags that say Mojoin the Morning or the Elvis Morning's show
or whatever. So I said,I'm going to buy these microphone flags so
with my own money, and itcosts probably several hundred dollars hundred. Wow.
We ordered these and then we stuckthem on the microphone, and I
(20:23):
remember the day we put them on. We all said, this isn't going
to work because it blocks so muchof our field of vision and it's right
there, three inches from our faceand it's all you can see. We
got used to it within a halfan hour. Yeah, you have the
hardest one of all of them becauseyours blocks looking between Bailey and I's microphones.
(20:45):
But we can still, like Baileyand I can look at each other
just side to side and look overat Vaughan. But you're the one that
kind of like has the most obstruction. M I feel like, But yeah,
you get used to it. Itotally got used to it. I
don't even notice it now, notat all. And it's good for you
know, like videos and things likethat, because it shows, you know,
hey, what is the show thatyou're watching? And then fallon when
(21:06):
she got the afternoon show, shestole my idea because people have been stealing
my ideas for centuries centuries. Yeah, and so she got the Fallon and
Zach microphone flag also paid for withher own money as far as I know,
And so then that changed, andso now it's Fallin and cult And
actually when we come in, Ithink it's kind of like, I don't
know, sometimes they change the microphoneflags and sometimes they don't. But it
(21:30):
takes how long Bailey to change it? Once you get the hang of it,
it probably takes like, I don'tknow, twenty five seconds. Yeah,
but you have to get the screwin and it's upside down and it
feels like you're in tech ad classin high school. It's hard. Okay,
So but that's the story with themicrophone flags. I know this is
probably getting long, so last thingand this will be the last email for
(21:52):
now. Content idea. I thinkyou should do house tours aka morning show
cribs. I can't be the onlyone who would find that extreme entertaining.
All right, Ta ta for now, gotta go diddle the bean, which
was something that hell did that comeup on the show. This is when
you were here a couple of weeksago. I don't know why we were
talking about that, but I rememberlabeling the title we titled it that,
(22:15):
but I don't red Bean God,I don't remember. Okay, she does
say kidding, but maybe she is. Maybe she isn't. One more thing,
Dave, thank you for being afather figure to a girl like me
who has a dad that just plainesucks. I sent a separate email about
this as this has already gotten toolong, and that is from uh,
Brianna. Brianna, thank you somuch. You know what, I will
(22:38):
accept that father figure honor. Uh. And I hear that often enough to
know that there's enough. There's alot of people out there, men and
women who've got kind of absent fathersor fathers who don't seem to really care
that much. So yeah, thatis a real honor for me. And
I will expect a Father's Day presentcoming up on Father's Day, which is
(23:03):
only a couple of weeks away fromwho from this person who's just seen this
bitch and everybody else it thinks thatthey that I'm a father figure. So
Brianna, I'm looking at you.Mail that twenty dollars Bill christ or or
some old spice. I think theold spice would be good. So I
start getting a bunch of cars inthe mail out from Yeah, I want
to Father's Day. You're gonna wonderare they really my child? Can I
(23:29):
tell you a story? Can Itell you a story? This is a
true story. I was quite promiscuousback when I was younger, like in
my twenties, I was. Itwas quite promiscuous. Wow. And I
would always ask are you on thepill? After I came and that's a
joke. That's a joke. Iknow you were just going into being promiscuous,
(23:52):
so that felt at all before wegot into the whole thing. I
would say, are you on thepill? Yeah, don't worry about it.
Okay, then we do our thing, but you never know. And
Philip, pills don't fail. Pillsdon't always work, they fail. Whatever.
Yeah, checking my mailbox and I'mprobably twenty four, twenty six years
(24:12):
old, I get a Father's Daycard with no return address. Geez,
and I don't remember what the insidesaid, but I looked at it,
going, do I have a kidout there that I don't know about?
Or is this somebody's funny idea ofa joke? And to this day,
(24:37):
I don't know for sure. ButI never heard from any kid ever who
wrote and said you're my dad?So I think it was somebody trying to
be funny. It was a great, great joke. Why are they gonna
let you in on the joke card? Are they gonna send you another letter
soon? I remember, this isa long time ago, and nobody ever
said, hey, do you getthat funny Father's Day card? That was
(24:57):
me? Nope, so I don't. That's why they call you daddy Bear.
Thank you, Bailey, and we'llwrap it up with that. Send
your emails to Ryan's show at KADIWBdot com and send Father's Day cards to
well, you can look up theaddress online. That's it. Have a
great day and we'll see you tomorrow.
