Speaker 1 (00:00):
You've ever been afraid to go to the doctor because
of what they're going to tell you, Because right now,
I've had belly pain for years, and today it hurts
so bad that I would go to the doctor about it.
But I don't want bad news, and I don't want
no news because every time I've had this for ten
years or more, and today is really bad. It feels
like there's a large potato growing in my belly, pushing
(00:23):
everything else out of the way, and it's tender to
the touch. Now, I've gone in many times and the
doctors always go, well, I can't really find anything, go home,
and if it gets worse, let us know. So a
couple of years later, I'll come back. It's like it's worse. Well,
let's see, we can't really find anything. So I don't
want to go and find out that I'm going to die.
Well yeah, but I also don't want to go in
(00:43):
and find out that they don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
What are you going in for?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I'm not going in. Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You said you had an appointment. No, I missed that.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I think it's OK. You're in your distract whether you
had an appointment, I said, do you ever want to
go to the doctor, but you don't want to go something.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Like that all the time.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That's her, right, Jenny. You're busy, You're you're trying to
do something on the computer, and I do that to
you all the time. Jenny will say something like, you know,
we are going to go to Mystic Lake. We're gonna
leave all the five o'clock or in your carpool down there,
and I'll be like, wait, what, I didn't hear what
you said. I literally will say I wasn't listening.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well, what did you just say?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Shut up?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm sorry your belly hurts. Have you ever taken a knife.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
To it to like pop it like a big boil?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
No, I haven't thought about that one.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I think.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Reading it down, I know you're trying.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
To I feel you, though. I hate going to the
doctor period, because something's going to be wrong with me probably.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Can I just tell you a quick story, This is
really interesting. So Susan had a question about sex at
her doctor the other day. And I'm not going to
get specific about it, but she did not get to
see her regular woman doctor. She's like on vacation or something.
So Susan had she didn't go in just about that.
(02:00):
She went in for like you know, medical medicine check
and you know, blood pressure blah blah blah, and she
asked a question about sex, and the doctor a guy who,
for what it's worth, he is not originally an American doctor,
so he's from a different culture that probably thinks about
sex differently than we Americans do. Sure, the doctor would
(02:21):
not answer Susan's question about sex. He's like, well, that's
just the way it is. And she was like, yeah,
so now I need to go back to my regular
woman doctor. And I thought that was kind of a
little bit irresponsible for a doctor to be trained to
answer questions about sex or psoriasis or dandruff or you know,
(02:43):
eyelash infections. But he wouldn't answer the question. And I
think it's a cultural thing where in this particular culture
that I know nothing about sex is a taboo subject, right.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Well, I mean that's why I always make sure it's
I'm with a girl doctor. Even if they were like
your doctor's gone today, and I'd be like, okay, may
I still see a woman? And if they say no,
then I'll be like, then you need to reschedule me,
because like if this wasn't communicated to me like I
just I feel far more comfortable every time I've gone
to an er or whatever urgent care. Not er urgent care.
(03:18):
I always have dudes, because that's what you get when
you walk in. But if I made an appointment and
my appointment is for a woman, yeah I would. I
would have turned into a care And if I was
Susan in that moment, I would have been like, great,
you can leave, Please find me a woman, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I think she had an expectation of, like, well, no
matter what their gender is or where they're from, they're
going to answer questions.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
But I was a little bit annoyed, and it's kind
of like, you know what you deserve, top notch care,
not care from somebody who is like thinks it's taboo
to talk about set ghosh, Yeah, what'd you say? Ghost?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Ghost?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
What is that gross?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
No, it's like uh ooh.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Ooh, I got you. Okay, all right, next, let's start
off with the emails. Here we go. While listening to
the Minnesota Goodbye, Sarah says, I to write in with
my two cents on Disney and Toddlers, Bailey said Epcot
is not the best for Toddlers, and I think it's
the second best. For Toddler's Magic Kingdom is always number one.
Epcot has the walk through Mowana attraction that's fabulous. It's
(04:15):
a water attraction that reacts to your body, so kids
love it. My kids also love Nemo C's Building with
Aquarium Nemo ride you get to talk to Crush the turtle.
The Land Building is my four year old son's favorite ride.
Soaring in Mexico. There's a boat ride that's cute for kids,
and if the kids like princesses, The World Showcase has
tons of beet and greets. There's also both indoor and
(04:37):
outdoor playgrounds in Epcot. My family's been to Disney a lot,
and there's still a lot of things in Epcott that
we haven't done. Sadly, Animal Kingdom recently closed the amazing
Boneyard playground as they're rethming the dinosaur part of the park.
For the Writer Inner, I'm going to read it just
the way she wrote it for The Writer Inner with
(04:58):
Toddle oh in her her with Toddler, I don't know.
My best two tips bring food and a refillable water
bottle into the parks. Always keep snacks nearby for the kids,
and bring a double stroller. My kids never have tantrument
in Disney because we always have a snack and a
stroller ready for them. Your Disney World correspondent Sarah any thoughts.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I mean, yeah, I liked Epcot when I was a kid,
but I know it's not necessarily for everybody. It's definitely
for like a kid who likes learning and has like
a lot of wonder about the world, and that's not
all kids, I think. So like the Land, I think
it's fascinating because it's plants and like going on living
with the land is really cool. It's like farming. But
(05:41):
if your kid doesn't like plants and farming, or if
they don't like finding nemo and fish, then they're not
gonna like those rides. But like, yeah, I think it's
you can still go to Epcot with kids, and like
Animal Kingdom is a giant zoo, and Hollywood Studios has
more like sitting and like watching a show. So if
your kid likes you know, theater or big showy numbers,
(06:03):
then Hollywood Studios would be great. Disney in general is
great for every single park is awesome in its own way,
So It just depends on your kid. You know your kid.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
If I, off the top of my head had to
rake them, I would go Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Studios,
and then Animal Kingdom is a distant fourth to me.
Animal Kingdom. Listen, I love the Apple Valley Zoo. If
I want to go to the zoo, I can go
to the Apple Valley Zoo. I don't need to stand. Plus,
I don't know, it just doesn't. It's not my vibe
to go see something like a zoo when I'm going
(06:33):
to see Disney Magic.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah, you know, I like it because it's very immersive.
Animal Kingdom is, but I do agree it is my
least favorite park of all of that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Okay, but you know what they try. Yeah, so that's good.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
It's fun still, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Next one in regards to the happy War of the Roses,
which was this week where the guy sends roses to
his X to get her back. Do you guys remember
the segment you did a long time ago called the
One That Got Away? Would you can see doing something
like that again? Not sure how relevant be anymore with
Google and social media, but since everybody really liked that
(07:06):
War of the Roses, maybe you can bring back a
version of connecting people with their one that got away.
Just a thought thanks for all you do from Britta. Yeah,
I think I wrote it down yesterday. Because as much
as it is possible to google somebody, Steve used to
have the back door on everybody, and Steve would like
find somebody that you could not google. So let's say
(07:28):
if you went out with a going guy named Troy
Alan Smith and you've looked at him and you can't
find him on Facebook, Steve would find this guy and
we would track him down and we'd get him on
the radio and be like, hey, remember Carla, Yeah, would
you like to get back together? No, I'm married, I'm good,
or yeah, you know what, have Carl give me a call.
(07:48):
Write it down, Jenny wrote, thank you Britta. Another email.
Let's see here, here's the one that I wanted to do.
It loads, it's loading, and it's taken its time, so
I might skip it. Sometimes you click on an email
and it literally nothing shows up. All right, here we go. Hey,
(08:08):
happy Boo Bash week to my favorite radio station and
podcast team, says Ashley. Your show is such a comfort effort.
Listening to the Dave Ryan Show on the radio growing up.
I feel so lucky technology has advanced that there are
now many ways to listen. Since moving out of state,
I look forward to my notification things when there are
new episodes to listen to. Bellow. Are some topics that
(08:31):
could be fun to cover, and one question I have.
You never know if you don't shoot your shot. Right
here we go, Question number one, What is the nicest
thing a total stranger has done for you recently? I
can't think of anything recently other than like, hold the
door for me when I've got like an armload of something.
I remember though, when I was twenty one years old,
(08:53):
I went out on a date with a group of
people that I didn't know. I was having a miserable time,
so I left. While we at the bar, I left,
they were all dancing and I was pouting about something.
So I left, and I was probably ten miles from home.
Had no idea how I was going to get home.
I didn't have any money for a cab, and I
stopped at a seven eleven and I don't know if
I was going to call a friend or what. But
(09:14):
a guy comes by, probably a guy that's fifty years old,
said hey you okay, and I said, oh, I need
a ride home. Looking back, it was really stupid to
me to get in the car with him, But this
perfect stranger took me home and dropped me off and
drove probably ten miles out of his way. And I
look back now and I'm like, he could have murdered me,
he could have assaulted me or anything, but he was
(09:34):
just a But he didn't. He was just a kind stranger. Yeah,
that went ten miles out of his way to take
me home, which is very nice. And he was very
soothing about it. He's like, what's wrong, And I said, oh,
it's out with a bunch of friends and they were
being jerks and he's like, you know, I do remember
what he said, but he was very nice about it,
Jenny anything, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I know that people have done nice things recently to me,
but I think like probably the most recent I can
think of as just a general like, oh my gosh,
I you have beautiful hair comments that I I do
get that kind of often, but like when someone out
of nowhere is just walking past me and they say that,
I'm like, God, I need to be more complimentary to
random strangers because it's always like such a sweet feeling
(10:15):
to hear.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It makes me feel better. Yeah. Yeah. Yesterday I was
driving around Bebooboppin' and I got the alert on my
car that says like one of your tires needs air,
and I'm like, a crap. I have so many things
to do. I have no time. I went to three
gas stations and none of the air was working at
any three gas station. So I just literally like drove
up to some random like auto shop that was very
(10:38):
run down. This guy came out and he's like, are
you all right? He was like, I just can do
you have an air thing so I can pump up
one of my tires. He's like yeah, he checked all
my tires, pumped all the air, and he's like, have
a really great day.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Is great?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
It was so nice. I was like, thank you so much.
I appreciate you. And I felt like I needed to
pay him, but he just did it for free.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was ce, you know what, here's what I know.
People love to do nice things for people. We just do.
I think it's in our DNA. We just love to
do nice things for people. And at the end, you go, well,
can I pay you for it?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I remember years ago, some like twenty year old guys
came by my house and I was shoveling the driveway
probably a foot of snow, and they're like, we got
it for you. They had a plow in the front
of their truck and they plowed it out.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
It's nice.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And I was like, thank you very much. Let me
pay you for it. Oh no, no, no, no no.
And I took like a stack of three to like,
I don't know, three or four dollar bills out of
my pocket and I stuffed it in his shirt pocket
and he was like no, no, no, no no. But
I was like, no, I insist. And I look back
on that and I took away his niceness, you know
what I mean. Yeah, I took away his opportunity to
do something that he felt really good about. And I
(11:44):
insisted on paying him for it. And I shouldn't have
done that, But I don't feel that bad about it, because,
you know, he still did something. It wasn't like I said, yeah,
you know what, you could have done a little bit faster.
So but I think people like to do nice things. Yeah, right.
Next one, she asks a difficult question about her child
(12:06):
who is sick and is thinking about getting a procedure done.
I want to get back to you because I have
a good friend who's had the exact same problem with
her child, and I want to ask them what they did.
And that child is now twenty four years old, so
they've grown up happy and healthy. But I don't want to.
You know, it's a medical question that I don't know
the answer to, So Ashley, I will try to find
(12:28):
an answer for you. Next one still won't load. Not
sure why that is, okay, but let's try this one.
Hello Morning show crew. On the even my dad's passing,
I want to share a story with a valuable reminder
for everyone, and thank you for all you do every day.
March of nineteen or twenty twenty, my dad was going
(12:48):
on his dream Trimp two's New Zealand with my brother
in law. Well, COVID hit so it had to be
canceled and he wasn't sure he could rebook it. Fast
forward to the fall of twenty twenty one, my mom's
best friend diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time
and her husband had Parkinson's. My dad decided life's too short.
I got to go in this New Zealand trip while
I'm still in good shape. The trip was booked for
(13:10):
March of twenty twenty three. Unexpectedly and very very suddenly.
On October twenty ninth of twenty twenty two, five weeks
before my wedding, my dad died jumped to March of
twenty twenty three, and my brother in law still went
on that trip and sprinkled some of my dad's ashes
on the mountain side of newas in England or New Zealand.
(13:33):
The lesson here is life is short, so stop putting
off the things you've wanted to do. Dave. I'm so
happy to hear you finally bought your camper, and I
hope you do the motorcycle trip to Alaska while you're
still label to channel my inner Juanita, take that fucking trip,
and I think that's true. You know, everybody thinks that
they have like years and years and years left, and
(13:55):
you do. Yeah, I'm sure you do have years and
years and years left. Thanks for letting me get through
some of the tough times of my life and being
a bright spot in my every day. She goes on
to say, kind of a part two. I've listened to
your show since elementary school, and my sister and I
spent the summers working for our dad in his factory
and fighting with him to let us listen to KATWB.
(14:18):
He preferred talk radio, and he couldn't stand KATWB, primarily
because it was the same five songs over and over. Yes,
I hear you sometimes it see how it feels like that?
As I continued to listen to KTWB in my adult ears,
my dad gave me a lot of crap and he
would say, I can't believe Dave Ryan's still on the
radio anyway. Just over a year before his death, he
(14:39):
sold his business and in packing things up, he sent
my picture of my sister and I a picture of
the old stereo system and we reminisced about torturing him
with KATIEWB. I even included this story in my eulogy
at my dad's funeral and got a good laugh out
of the crowd. KATIWB has played a big role in
my life, and Dave has served as a father figure
(15:00):
of sorts for me since my dad's passing. If you're
still reading, thank you for reading all this. I know
how much you hate long emails. Dave and they want
a staff writer sticker and they live in Hampshire, Illinois.
Now oo oh cool, I love that. I don't hate
long emails. I don't like long emails that don't need
to be long, and so this one was not too long.
(15:20):
It was meaningful all the way through, and it was.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
In paragraph form, multiple paragraphs, which is really nice.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Which you know what, A lot of the long emails
are not in paragraph form.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Uh man.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I just fully agree with everything that she said though
about like life's too shore, you got to like do
the things. And now that doesn't mean like go put
yourself in credit card debt so you can go to
New Zealand. But I do think, like Dave, you did
wait a long time to get an RV, and now
you love that thing, and aren't you so happy you
have it?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I love it. I mean seriously, I don't know why
we waited so long. And it's kind of like, go
do that thing that you've always wanted to do, you know.
I hope you get it, you chance to do it,
after you saved the money for it or whatever. But
if you can afford to do it, and you've got
if you got the opportunity, go do it. Now. What
do you want to do, Bailey?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Oh, I'm already I'm going to Graceland and Disney with
my mom.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Perfect.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I've wanted to go to Graceland for a long time
and I want to go with my mom. Is got
all our marbles and still around. So that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Jenny, what do you want to do?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Well, I haven't told you guys this, but I'm going
to Morocco in two weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That comes as a shot. Is this the station trip
that you're doing?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
No, that's not till May. That's to Bali.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
There was this insane flight deal which I think I
told Bailey about, like literally round trip flight Dave. It
was like two hundred and fifty dollars, but it was
all with points through Delta.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
And so I was like, I can't pass this up.
So yeah, I am doing that in a couple of weeks,
just because I had vacation time to use.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It worked for me to go like a Saturday to
US following Sunday.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
And normally when you find flight deals, it'll be like
a Tuesday to a wet next Wednesday or something weird
like that.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
So I just booked it.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
And yeah, Wow, Richie rich Over here going to Morocco. Yeah,
I heard you're going to Morocco. Was literally I can't
afford to go to Morocco. To go to Morocco less
than what.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
It probably caused you to go to Colorado every couple
months for Rocco.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I didn't even know where that is. Where is that
is that by Canada?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Morocco's in Africa, the northern part of Africa. It's very
close to Spain and Portugal.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
If you what do you do over there? What do
you do in Morocco?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I mean, I'm just gonna examine the culture and learn
a lot of things. I don't know anything about that culture.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I'm going to get flirted with a lot, That's all
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I know.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I've never been to a Muslim country before, so I
know that that'll be like very different for me.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But I just plan on exploring a bunch.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And you're going alone, Jenny, who are you taking along
with you?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I am going alone.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
You are going alone.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
And I debated even bringing this up because I have
been told by a lot of people that that's probably
not the best idea.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
But that's how the cookie crumbled.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Well, I could have someone come with me, but I
don't want to. I want to do it on my own, honestly.
So yeah, okay, and was actually kind of a cheap
country to go to.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
By the way you.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Can get like I can imagine.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Yeah, they're called like reads instead of hotels or like
town homes that are turned into like places for you
to stay, and it's like really like reasonably priced to
stay there.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
If you've gone anywhere that is outside of the usual Iceland, France, Germany,
Italy type of thing, Ireland, let us know. I mean,
if you've ever gone to Peru and you're like, oh, man,
Peru is really cool, or if you've ever gone to
Chile and you're like, man, I didn't expect it to
be so cool. We went to Japan, which is a
little bit more off the common touristy path because it's
(18:53):
a little bit it's such a foreign culture. It doesn't
compare to Morocco, which I know nothing about, but is
definitely still Japan, and you have to fit into their
culture when you go to Japan, Yeah, because you are
not going to go over there and be a loud
ass American, you know, walking down the street with a
nutty buddy throwing rappers on the floor, because that is
(19:13):
they don't let you do that in Japan. Japan is
thank God still Japan.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I've had a lot of people I know who've gone
to Vietnam and they say that that's one of the
best trips they've ever been on. Oh I've been.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I've had friends that have done Thailand in Vietnam and
they a lot of them have said that they like
Vietnam better.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So I've heard great things about Vietnam too.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Let us know where you went and whether it was
like you know, I mean, an off the beaten path. Yeah.
I mean you can say like, yeah, I went to Greece.
I mean that's cool. I've never been to Greece, right,
But maybe you went to let me think of somewhere Zimbabwe,
Zimbabwe good example. Or you went to Finland and you're
like that was really cool, or Belarus, which I don't
(19:55):
even know where that is. A friend of mine I
think went to Lithuania with a choir group that she's
in and she said it was gorgeous and just beautiful,
and I'm like, I have no desire to go to Lithuania,
but she really liked it. So where did you go
and what did you sell us on where you went?
Tell us I would love to hear your story. Send
an email to Ryan's show at KTWB dot com that's
gone do it for the Minnesota Goodbye
You've ever been afraid to go to the doctor because
of what they're going to tell you, Because right now,
I've had belly pain for years, and today it hurts
so bad that I would go to the doctor about it.
But I don't want bad news, and I don't want
no news because every time I've had this for ten
years or more, and today is really bad. It feels
like there's a large potato growing in my belly, pushing
(00:23):
everything else out of the way, and it's tender to
the touch. Now, I've gone in many times and the
doctors always go, well, I can't really find anything, go home,
and if it gets worse, let us know. So a
couple of years later, I'll come back. It's like it's worse. Well,
let's see, we can't really find anything. So I don't
want to go and find out that I'm going to die.
Well yeah, but I also don't want to go in
(00:43):
and find out that they don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
What are you going in for?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I'm not going in. Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You said you had an appointment. No, I missed that.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I think it's OK. You're in your distract whether you
had an appointment, I said, do you ever want to
go to the doctor, but you don't want to go something.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Like that all the time.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That's her, right, Jenny. You're busy, You're you're trying to
do something on the computer, and I do that to
you all the time. Jenny will say something like, you know,
we are going to go to Mystic Lake. We're gonna
leave all the five o'clock or in your carpool down there,
and I'll be like, wait, what, I didn't hear what
you said. I literally will say I wasn't listening.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Well, what did you just say?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Shut up?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm sorry your belly hurts. Have you ever taken a knife.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
To it to like pop it like a big boil?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
No, I haven't thought about that one.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I think.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Reading it down, I know you're trying.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
To I feel you, though. I hate going to the
doctor period, because something's going to be wrong with me probably.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Can I just tell you a quick story, This is
really interesting. So Susan had a question about sex at
her doctor the other day. And I'm not going to
get specific about it, but she did not get to
see her regular woman doctor. She's like on vacation or something.
So Susan had she didn't go in just about that.
(02:00):
She went in for like you know, medical medicine check
and you know, blood pressure blah blah blah, and she
asked a question about sex, and the doctor a guy who,
for what it's worth, he is not originally an American doctor,
so he's from a different culture that probably thinks about
sex differently than we Americans do. Sure, the doctor would
(02:21):
not answer Susan's question about sex. He's like, well, that's
just the way it is. And she was like, yeah,
so now I need to go back to my regular
woman doctor. And I thought that was kind of a
little bit irresponsible for a doctor to be trained to
answer questions about sex or psoriasis or dandruff or you know,
(02:43):
eyelash infections. But he wouldn't answer the question. And I
think it's a cultural thing where in this particular culture
that I know nothing about sex is a taboo subject, right.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Well, I mean that's why I always make sure it's
I'm with a girl doctor. Even if they were like
your doctor's gone today, and I'd be like, okay, may
I still see a woman? And if they say no,
then I'll be like, then you need to reschedule me,
because like if this wasn't communicated to me like I
just I feel far more comfortable every time I've gone
to an er or whatever urgent care. Not er urgent care.
(03:18):
I always have dudes, because that's what you get when
you walk in. But if I made an appointment and
my appointment is for a woman, yeah I would. I
would have turned into a care And if I was
Susan in that moment, I would have been like, great,
you can leave, Please find me a woman, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I think she had an expectation of, like, well, no
matter what their gender is or where they're from, they're
going to answer questions.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
But I was a little bit annoyed, and it's kind
of like, you know what you deserve, top notch care,
not care from somebody who is like thinks it's taboo
to talk about set ghosh, Yeah, what'd you say? Ghost?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Ghost?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
What is that gross?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
No, it's like uh ooh.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Ooh, I got you. Okay, all right, next, let's start
off with the emails. Here we go. While listening to
the Minnesota Goodbye, Sarah says, I to write in with
my two cents on Disney and Toddlers, Bailey said Epcot
is not the best for Toddlers, and I think it's
the second best. For Toddler's Magic Kingdom is always number one.
Epcot has the walk through Mowana attraction that's fabulous. It's
(04:15):
a water attraction that reacts to your body, so kids
love it. My kids also love Nemo C's Building with
Aquarium Nemo ride you get to talk to Crush the turtle.
The Land Building is my four year old son's favorite ride.
Soaring in Mexico. There's a boat ride that's cute for kids,
and if the kids like princesses, The World Showcase has
tons of beet and greets. There's also both indoor and
(04:37):
outdoor playgrounds in Epcot. My family's been to Disney a lot,
and there's still a lot of things in Epcott that
we haven't done. Sadly, Animal Kingdom recently closed the amazing
Boneyard playground as they're rethming the dinosaur part of the park.
For the Writer Inner, I'm going to read it just
the way she wrote it for The Writer Inner with
(04:58):
Toddle oh in her her with Toddler, I don't know.
My best two tips bring food and a refillable water
bottle into the parks. Always keep snacks nearby for the kids,
and bring a double stroller. My kids never have tantrument
in Disney because we always have a snack and a
stroller ready for them. Your Disney World correspondent Sarah any thoughts.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I mean, yeah, I liked Epcot when I was a kid,
but I know it's not necessarily for everybody. It's definitely
for like a kid who likes learning and has like
a lot of wonder about the world, and that's not
all kids, I think. So like the Land, I think
it's fascinating because it's plants and like going on living
with the land is really cool. It's like farming. But
(05:41):
if your kid doesn't like plants and farming, or if
they don't like finding nemo and fish, then they're not
gonna like those rides. But like, yeah, I think it's
you can still go to Epcot with kids, and like
Animal Kingdom is a giant zoo, and Hollywood Studios has
more like sitting and like watching a show. So if
your kid likes you know, theater or big showy numbers,
(06:03):
then Hollywood Studios would be great. Disney in general is
great for every single park is awesome in its own way,
So It just depends on your kid. You know your kid.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
If I, off the top of my head had to
rake them, I would go Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Studios,
and then Animal Kingdom is a distant fourth to me.
Animal Kingdom. Listen, I love the Apple Valley Zoo. If
I want to go to the zoo, I can go
to the Apple Valley Zoo. I don't need to stand. Plus,
I don't know, it just doesn't. It's not my vibe
to go see something like a zoo when I'm going
(06:33):
to see Disney Magic.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah, you know, I like it because it's very immersive.
Animal Kingdom is, but I do agree it is my
least favorite park of all of that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Okay, but you know what they try. Yeah, so that's good.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
It's fun still, all right.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Next one in regards to the happy War of the Roses,
which was this week where the guy sends roses to
his X to get her back. Do you guys remember
the segment you did a long time ago called the
One That Got Away? Would you can see doing something
like that again? Not sure how relevant be anymore with
Google and social media, but since everybody really liked that
(07:06):
War of the Roses, maybe you can bring back a
version of connecting people with their one that got away.
Just a thought thanks for all you do from Britta. Yeah,
I think I wrote it down yesterday. Because as much
as it is possible to google somebody, Steve used to
have the back door on everybody, and Steve would like
find somebody that you could not google. So let's say
(07:28):
if you went out with a going guy named Troy
Alan Smith and you've looked at him and you can't
find him on Facebook, Steve would find this guy and
we would track him down and we'd get him on
the radio and be like, hey, remember Carla, Yeah, would
you like to get back together? No, I'm married, I'm good,
or yeah, you know what, have Carl give me a call.
(07:48):
Write it down, Jenny wrote, thank you Britta. Another email.
Let's see here, here's the one that I wanted to do.
It loads, it's loading, and it's taken its time, so
I might skip it. Sometimes you click on an email
and it literally nothing shows up. All right, here we go. Hey,
(08:08):
happy Boo Bash week to my favorite radio station and
podcast team, says Ashley. Your show is such a comfort effort.
Listening to the Dave Ryan Show on the radio growing up.
I feel so lucky technology has advanced that there are
now many ways to listen. Since moving out of state,
I look forward to my notification things when there are
new episodes to listen to. Bellow. Are some topics that
(08:31):
could be fun to cover, and one question I have.
You never know if you don't shoot your shot. Right
here we go, Question number one, What is the nicest
thing a total stranger has done for you recently? I
can't think of anything recently other than like, hold the
door for me when I've got like an armload of something.
I remember though, when I was twenty one years old,
(08:53):
I went out on a date with a group of
people that I didn't know. I was having a miserable time,
so I left. While we at the bar, I left,
they were all dancing and I was pouting about something.
So I left, and I was probably ten miles from home.
Had no idea how I was going to get home.
I didn't have any money for a cab, and I
stopped at a seven eleven and I don't know if
I was going to call a friend or what. But
(09:14):
a guy comes by, probably a guy that's fifty years old,
said hey you okay, and I said, oh, I need
a ride home. Looking back, it was really stupid to
me to get in the car with him, But this
perfect stranger took me home and dropped me off and
drove probably ten miles out of his way. And I
look back now and I'm like, he could have murdered me,
he could have assaulted me or anything, but he was
(09:34):
just a But he didn't. He was just a kind stranger. Yeah,
that went ten miles out of his way to take
me home, which is very nice. And he was very
soothing about it. He's like, what's wrong, And I said, oh,
it's out with a bunch of friends and they were
being jerks and he's like, you know, I do remember
what he said, but he was very nice about it,
Jenny anything, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I know that people have done nice things recently to me,
but I think like probably the most recent I can
think of as just a general like, oh my gosh,
I you have beautiful hair comments that I I do
get that kind of often, but like when someone out
of nowhere is just walking past me and they say that,
I'm like, God, I need to be more complimentary to
random strangers because it's always like such a sweet feeling
(10:15):
to hear.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It makes me feel better. Yeah. Yeah. Yesterday I was
driving around Bebooboppin' and I got the alert on my
car that says like one of your tires needs air,
and I'm like, a crap. I have so many things
to do. I have no time. I went to three
gas stations and none of the air was working at
any three gas station. So I just literally like drove
up to some random like auto shop that was very
(10:38):
run down. This guy came out and he's like, are
you all right? He was like, I just can do
you have an air thing so I can pump up
one of my tires. He's like yeah, he checked all
my tires, pumped all the air, and he's like, have
a really great day.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Is great?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
It was so nice. I was like, thank you so much.
I appreciate you. And I felt like I needed to
pay him, but he just did it for free.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was ce, you know what, here's what I know.
People love to do nice things for people. We just do.
I think it's in our DNA. We just love to
do nice things for people. And at the end, you go, well,
can I pay you for it?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I remember years ago, some like twenty year old guys
came by my house and I was shoveling the driveway
probably a foot of snow, and they're like, we got
it for you. They had a plow in the front
of their truck and they plowed it out.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
It's nice.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And I was like, thank you very much. Let me
pay you for it. Oh no, no, no, no no.
And I took like a stack of three to like,
I don't know, three or four dollar bills out of
my pocket and I stuffed it in his shirt pocket
and he was like no, no, no, no no. But
I was like, no, I insist. And I look back
on that and I took away his niceness, you know
what I mean. Yeah, I took away his opportunity to
do something that he felt really good about. And I
(11:44):
insisted on paying him for it. And I shouldn't have
done that, But I don't feel that bad about it, because,
you know, he still did something. It wasn't like I said, yeah,
you know what, you could have done a little bit faster.
So but I think people like to do nice things. Yeah, right.
Next one, she asks a difficult question about her child
(12:06):
who is sick and is thinking about getting a procedure done.
I want to get back to you because I have
a good friend who's had the exact same problem with
her child, and I want to ask them what they did.
And that child is now twenty four years old, so
they've grown up happy and healthy. But I don't want to.
You know, it's a medical question that I don't know
the answer to, So Ashley, I will try to find
(12:28):
an answer for you. Next one still won't load. Not
sure why that is, okay, but let's try this one.
Hello Morning show crew. On the even my dad's passing,
I want to share a story with a valuable reminder
for everyone, and thank you for all you do every day.
March of nineteen or twenty twenty, my dad was going
(12:48):
on his dream Trimp two's New Zealand with my brother
in law. Well, COVID hit so it had to be
canceled and he wasn't sure he could rebook it. Fast
forward to the fall of twenty twenty one, my mom's
best friend diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time
and her husband had Parkinson's. My dad decided life's too short.
I got to go in this New Zealand trip while
I'm still in good shape. The trip was booked for
(13:10):
March of twenty twenty three. Unexpectedly and very very suddenly.
On October twenty ninth of twenty twenty two, five weeks
before my wedding, my dad died jumped to March of
twenty twenty three, and my brother in law still went
on that trip and sprinkled some of my dad's ashes
on the mountain side of newas in England or New Zealand.
(13:33):
The lesson here is life is short, so stop putting
off the things you've wanted to do. Dave. I'm so
happy to hear you finally bought your camper, and I
hope you do the motorcycle trip to Alaska while you're
still label to channel my inner Juanita, take that fucking trip,
and I think that's true. You know, everybody thinks that
they have like years and years and years left, and
(13:55):
you do. Yeah, I'm sure you do have years and
years and years left. Thanks for letting me get through
some of the tough times of my life and being
a bright spot in my every day. She goes on
to say, kind of a part two. I've listened to
your show since elementary school, and my sister and I
spent the summers working for our dad in his factory
and fighting with him to let us listen to KATWB.
(14:18):
He preferred talk radio, and he couldn't stand KATWB, primarily
because it was the same five songs over and over. Yes,
I hear you sometimes it see how it feels like that?
As I continued to listen to KTWB in my adult ears,
my dad gave me a lot of crap and he
would say, I can't believe Dave Ryan's still on the
radio anyway. Just over a year before his death, he
(14:39):
sold his business and in packing things up, he sent
my picture of my sister and I a picture of
the old stereo system and we reminisced about torturing him
with KATIEWB. I even included this story in my eulogy
at my dad's funeral and got a good laugh out
of the crowd. KATIWB has played a big role in
my life, and Dave has served as a father figure
(15:00):
of sorts for me since my dad's passing. If you're
still reading, thank you for reading all this. I know
how much you hate long emails. Dave and they want
a staff writer sticker and they live in Hampshire, Illinois.
Now oo oh cool, I love that. I don't hate
long emails. I don't like long emails that don't need
to be long, and so this one was not too long.
(15:20):
It was meaningful all the way through, and it was.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
In paragraph form, multiple paragraphs, which is really nice.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Which you know what, A lot of the long emails
are not in paragraph form.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Uh man.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I just fully agree with everything that she said though
about like life's too shore, you got to like do
the things. And now that doesn't mean like go put
yourself in credit card debt so you can go to
New Zealand. But I do think, like Dave, you did
wait a long time to get an RV, and now
you love that thing, and aren't you so happy you
have it?
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I love it. I mean seriously, I don't know why
we waited so long. And it's kind of like, go
do that thing that you've always wanted to do, you know.
I hope you get it, you chance to do it,
after you saved the money for it or whatever. But
if you can afford to do it, and you've got
if you got the opportunity, go do it. Now. What
do you want to do, Bailey?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Oh, I'm already I'm going to Graceland and Disney with
my mom.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Perfect.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I've wanted to go to Graceland for a long time
and I want to go with my mom. Is got
all our marbles and still around. So that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Jenny, what do you want to do?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Well, I haven't told you guys this, but I'm going
to Morocco in two weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
That comes as a shot. Is this the station trip
that you're doing?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
No, that's not till May. That's to Bali.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
There was this insane flight deal which I think I
told Bailey about, like literally round trip flight Dave. It
was like two hundred and fifty dollars, but it was
all with points through Delta.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
And so I was like, I can't pass this up.
So yeah, I am doing that in a couple of weeks,
just because I had vacation time to use.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It worked for me to go like a Saturday to
US following Sunday.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
And normally when you find flight deals, it'll be like
a Tuesday to a wet next Wednesday or something weird
like that.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
So I just booked it.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
And yeah, Wow, Richie rich Over here going to Morocco. Yeah,
I heard you're going to Morocco. Was literally I can't
afford to go to Morocco. To go to Morocco less
than what.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
It probably caused you to go to Colorado every couple
months for Rocco.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I didn't even know where that is. Where is that
is that by Canada?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Morocco's in Africa, the northern part of Africa. It's very
close to Spain and Portugal.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
If you what do you do over there? What do
you do in Morocco?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I mean, I'm just gonna examine the culture and learn
a lot of things. I don't know anything about that culture.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I'm going to get flirted with a lot, That's all
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I know.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I've never been to a Muslim country before, so I
know that that'll be like very different for me.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But I just plan on exploring a bunch.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
And you're going alone, Jenny, who are you taking along
with you?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I am going alone.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
You are going alone.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
And I debated even bringing this up because I have
been told by a lot of people that that's probably
not the best idea.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
But that's how the cookie crumbled.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Well, I could have someone come with me, but I
don't want to. I want to do it on my own, honestly.
So yeah, okay, and was actually kind of a cheap
country to go to.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
By the way you.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Can get like I can imagine.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Yeah, they're called like reads instead of hotels or like
town homes that are turned into like places for you
to stay, and it's like really like reasonably priced to
stay there.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
If you've gone anywhere that is outside of the usual Iceland, France, Germany,
Italy type of thing, Ireland, let us know. I mean,
if you've ever gone to Peru and you're like, oh, man,
Peru is really cool, or if you've ever gone to
Chile and you're like, man, I didn't expect it to
be so cool. We went to Japan, which is a
little bit more off the common touristy path because it's
(18:53):
a little bit it's such a foreign culture. It doesn't
compare to Morocco, which I know nothing about, but is
definitely still Japan, and you have to fit into their
culture when you go to Japan, Yeah, because you are
not going to go over there and be a loud
ass American, you know, walking down the street with a
nutty buddy throwing rappers on the floor, because that is
(19:13):
they don't let you do that in Japan. Japan is
thank God still Japan.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I've had a lot of people I know who've gone
to Vietnam and they say that that's one of the
best trips they've ever been on. Oh I've been.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I've had friends that have done Thailand in Vietnam and
they a lot of them have said that they like
Vietnam better.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So I've heard great things about Vietnam too.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Let us know where you went and whether it was
like you know, I mean, an off the beaten path. Yeah.
I mean you can say like, yeah, I went to Greece.
I mean that's cool. I've never been to Greece, right,
But maybe you went to let me think of somewhere Zimbabwe,
Zimbabwe good example. Or you went to Finland and you're
like that was really cool, or Belarus, which I don't
(19:55):
even know where that is. A friend of mine I
think went to Lithuania with a choir group that she's
in and she said it was gorgeous and just beautiful,
and I'm like, I have no desire to go to Lithuania,
but she really liked it. So where did you go
and what did you sell us on where you went?
Tell us I would love to hear your story. Send
an email to Ryan's show at KTWB dot com that's
gone do it for the Minnesota Goodbye
