(00:00):
Minnesota. Goodbye. We're gonna startoff with Jamie for Massola. She says,
(00:03):
you can say my name. Myfriend Sherry and I stopped by your
booth on Saturday at the fair.It was by far the highlight of our
day meeting you all. I metDrake and Jenny last year at a community
mental health event, and I mustsay, it gets easier to talk to
you the second time around. Iwas not a star struck. Let's see,
I was not a star struck.Okay, Dave Ryan on the other
hand of elizab for twenty two yearsor so, and I've never seen Dave
(00:25):
in person. I was absolutely starstruck. I felt so weird because I couldn't
stop staring. But it's surreal seeingyour voice in person. If it makes
sense, absolutely I get it.I understand. I couldn't stop smiling by
my husband and Sherry reminisce with Daveon an event I get in ninety seven
at Big Apple Bagels in Forest Lake. I remember that event for sure.
(00:47):
You three were so personable and easyto talk to. I just wanted to
know you to know how much weenjoyed meeting you and would love if you
could give a Minnesota. Goodbye.Shout out to my friend Sherry as it's
her fortieth birthday today on August twentyeight. Happy birthday, Sherry. It
was a delight meeting both of you. Happy birthday. Thank you Jamie,
Thank you Sherry. I appreciate thatone. Next one, it says,
(01:11):
show idea. Okay, okay,let's see what we got here. This
could be interesting. I felt likeI feel like I write it every other
day, So feel free to blockme in any time. This is from
Shaleen. No, I will not, because I appreciate it. I'm putting
in a pickup order and read thereviews on this flat bread. I'm cracking
up reading the one I attached.I thought it'd be a fun game for
(01:33):
you guys to play. One ofyou writes fake reviews and then you read
real ones like this, and peoplehave to try to guess whether you're reading
one that you wrote or if it'sa real one. This is brilliant like
it. I think their websites dedicatedto funny reviews, and I'm sure you
guys would be able to come upwith one as hilarious ones as well.
(01:55):
Have a great week from Shay.So here's an example, one star out
of five. Horrible product and experience. Perhaps the worst things, the worst
thing I ever had in my mouth. Tastes like boiled and dried out old
lady skin. That is super mealy. I bought two with cash, threw
away the receipt and tried to return, but they refused to take them back.
(02:15):
Threw them away in the store.Buy or beware. Wow. I
wish I knew what it was reviewing, but no, write that down,
Jenny. Jenny is like the notetake her on the show. Because if
I don't say, Jenny, writeit down, I will remember that I
had a good idea, or thatI saw a good idea from Shay,
but I won't remember what it is. So thank you Shay got it written
(02:36):
down. I do. So I'mwondering if the one she sent in was
what she said she was ordering,because didn't you say flatbread earlier? So
is that about the flatbread? Makessense totally, it makes sense. So
thank you, Shay. Great idea. We will do that one next one.
Congratulations Jenny, and fallon. I'mgonna make it short and sweet.
Wedding venue and catered shopping is somuch harder than it needs to be ninety
(02:59):
seven percent of places hide their pricingbehind request forms and take too long to
respond. There's no way that everythingrecompeting venue and caterer doesn't have accounts on
the Knot and other sites asking forpricing from all their competitors. Each year,
it's twenty twenty three. Get awebsite with transparent pricing and let me
make decisions based on that without fakeautomated responses and hoops to jump through.
(03:24):
We are crossing vendors off our listbecause of how much work it takes to
get a price. At this point, has anyone else run into this?
Thanks Start and Lick and that isfrom They don't say their name, so
I'll keep their name off of there. So they mean, if you go
on the Knot and you want toget a wedding venue, yeah, they
say, oh, tell us whyyou want to make whatever and make a
(03:44):
request and we'll get back to youwith pricing. Yeah. It's like it's
there's so many websites that do thatnowadays that you have to send them your
email, You send them what you'reinterested in, and then they finally send
over pricing eventually. Sometimes they evenhave like a sales call with you at
first, I completely I don't knowexactly what she's going through with wedding planning
stuff. But there are different situations, like a lot of trainers don't put
(04:05):
their pricing out there for people,so then you like, they do their
sales pitch and they try to hookyou, and then all of a sudden,
it's like, oh, by theway, it's going to be five
thousand dollars for three sessions. Hereyou go, Okay, that's an exaggeration,
but that's what a lot of peopledo because they think that they can
give you their whole sales pitch andhook you and then tell you the pricing
afterwards, when we really just wantto know what the price is. I
(04:28):
would maybe compare it to going into buy a car and you see the
sticker price, but maybe you don'tknow what the price is. You can't.
I don't know, but that doessuck. And I don't blame you
for blocking the companies that won't giveyou, but that must be the method
now. It is. Like Anotherexample was when we went to to Loom
for a bachelor at party for mygirlfriend this year. I helped with trying
(04:48):
to find we were trying to booklike this yacht split between all of us.
It really wasn't that expensive. Butevery single company you had to send
in your email, your information,your dates of when you wanted it before
you could even get a response andan idea of what the pricing was.
And that was so frustrating. Iwas like, why don't you just have
it upfront because we can't afford somethingthat is so outrageously priced. Why bother
(05:12):
to like try to suck you inif you're gonna find out eventually you can't
afford it, right? All right? Next one, and says Rebecca,
I am wondering why KDWB plays atalk show on Sunday mornings that is usually
filled with serious topics and interviews.I know that many radio stations switched to
either a religious music or something likethis on Sundays. However, it seems
like if someone's turning on the radiostation for KWB, they're looking for today's
(05:36):
hit music. It seems like areally good day to turn listeners away toward
a competitor. Just wondering what thethought is behind having such different sounding shows
on Sunday mornings. Thank you.There used to be a rule from the
Federal Communications Commission FCC that said youmust serve the public interest, and we
still have to and part of thatis broadcasting what they call public interest programming,
(06:00):
and so you have to do interviews. You used to have to do
religious programming. I don't think we'rerequired to do religious programming, but when
I was first in radio, theywould do religious programming. You were required
to buy the FCC, so alot of radio stations would play it.
At midnight on a Sunday night,there was something called power Line, which
is a very hip, progressive religiousshow. People would write in and it
(06:25):
was easy to listen to and theywould play Christian pop music. But power
Line went away years ago, probablytwenty years ago. But I think sometimes
radio stations still are required to doprogramming in the public interest on Sunday.
You bury it on Sundays because theythe least listen to morning of the week.
People are not getting up early likethey are during the week. People
(06:48):
are like on Saturdays, people arestill up early because they're gonna go canoeing
or they're going to go to thelake or whatever. But Sunday mornings,
I think they are required to doserious programming in the public frist and that's
why all stations are doing it.Some do at midnight on Sunday. They
buried at eleven o'clock on Sunday.But that's probably why. Yeah, I
think that's it A good question though. Going to hit delete on that so
(07:11):
I don't wonder later whether I readit. Okay, So hello David,
Jenny, love you both. Pleasedon't say my name. Okay, y'all
talking about mental health resonated with me. This came up last week on the
show. I'd like to say thatfor people who really needed, medication can
be a miracle. I lived lifewith anxiety and depression for twenty twenty five
years since I was seventeen. Isee a therapist regularly. Big diagnosed with
(07:35):
major depression and chronic are a PTSDand chronic major depression. I've tried many
different meds, at least twelve differentkinds. I can remember some work better
than others, but nothing really gotme fully out of the slump. A
couple of years ago, I wenton a bill if I technically it's an
antipsychotic, I believe, and itchanged my life. This is the first
(07:57):
time in my life I feel whatI always thought nor would feel like.
It's left me able to function ina way I never could before. My
relationships are stronger and more connected.I made new friends, my work life
is going great. I'm loving beinga mom to my seven year old even
more than I had before. I'djust like to urge people who say those
meds don't even work to really seewhat A specific med may not work with
(08:20):
everyone, but if you can findone that works for you, that is
the best scenario. Thanks so much. I think that's you know, when
I watch these commercials, it's like, are you on an antidepressant that doesn't
work well? Add in this antidepressantand it makes me go, We'll do
any of them really work? AndI think some just don't work. And
she kind of attested that one shewas on twelve different ones that she can
(08:43):
remember some work better than others.So it's just interesting to get people's experience.
Because we were talking about mental healthand medications. We've talked about klonopin
extensively last week on the show becauseI was on klonopin and it's a very
powerful anti anxiety that I compared toletting the water out of the bathtub.
You feel it drain out of yourbody when you're on clone up and it
(09:05):
just goes away until swirl, swirl, swirl. It's gone and it's amazing.
Okay, next one hitting to leadon that one. Another one anxiety
catching nut, says dear David flugelBinder and Jenny, which we used to
joke was my real last name.I'm catching up on podcasts. So if
this doesn't make the show, Iunderstand. I have dealt with generalized anxiety
(09:28):
disorder for decades. I've been onmeds to manage. No Benzo's the best
thing I have done for myself whenI've been super ancious is to float.
Okay, let's read on. Maybeit'll make more sense. Here's a website
for the place in the metro thatoffers it, Awake Forwellness dot Com.
During the session, you get intoa warm tank filled with ten inches of
(09:50):
water and one thousand pounds of eppsand salt, making you float atop the
water. You can choose silence orrelaxation music, stay on for forty five
to sixty minutes. They are alsocalled sensory deprivation tanks. The experience was
scary at first, but once Iwas sure that I could open the tank,
freely and it wasn't actually a tomb. It was amazing. It felt
(10:11):
like a mental reset. Leaving afterthe session in a world with so much
stimuli, it was powerful to justbe alone with my thoughts and to release
that negative energy. I am ina school currently for my DNP degree Nurse
Practitioner and encourage people to try nontraditional ways to heal themselves along with what
their doctor prescribes. Have a greatday. If it works for you,
(10:33):
it works for you, and thatisn't going to give it to you again.
Awake for Awaken, Awaken for Wellnessdot Com. I'm not here to
plug them. I can't endorse them. I can only say this is what
they recommend. Jenny, we forgotto do something that we promised that we
would do. I know well Iwas going to bring it up, but
I thought we would say until thevery end of this podcast. Let's do
it. So. Dartlick is thet shirts that are selling at the State
(10:56):
Fair, and people are buying thesedart Lick shirts. How long have we
got to explain? Dark? Youhave a minute and twenty seconds. I
can do a lot in a minutetwenty seconds. Let's go So Dartlick came
up. Everybody who listens to theMinnesota Could Buy regularly knows the story of
dart lick. So a couple ofyears ago, when Steva was on the
show, probably in twenty twenty,somebody brought up eating ass. Okay,
(11:20):
now here's where it gets vulgar,and I don't mean to get vulgar,
but that's the way it gives.So Steve said, how do you even
eat ass? Anyway? What doyou do? And I said, I
don't know. Dart lick, dartlick, dart lick. And we all
laughed like, oh, dart lick, dart lick, dart lick. And
so that became a phrase of theshow. And so now people will sign
off their emails with dart lick.And it's an inside, vulgar, disgusting
(11:43):
joke, and we have it madeon a shirt. And so my favorite
picture of the State Fair this weekendis a woman with an angelic face,
she's probably twenty five years old,holding up a dart Lick shirt. And
I thought that poor woman listened toour podcast and found out what daricks is
all about. So yeah, findit online, or yeah, find it
online on Dave Ryan Show dot com. That is it for the Minnesota Goodbye.
