*Expletives*

Jenny's on vacation, so Bailey and Dave get into the weeds talking about the joys and pains of gardening, loaning money to coworkers, and really get into "radio voice" and what we can and cannot say on air.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
It's just me and you, Bailey, Jay's just us doing the Minnesota Goodbye.
Jenny is on vacation. She rightnow as a Friday morning. She
is in somewhere in Washington or Oregonor somewhere ye Worth, Levenworth, I
guess, yeah, like in ahiking space. Yeah. I'm not sure

(00:20):
if she's hiking right at the momentor what's going on. She did send
me a video of a group ofold people playing ukulele in a circle.
It's on her Instagram story, Ibelieve, and you can go check that
out, Jenny KT would you be? But it's funny because I don't know
why it is that mostly old peopleplay ukulele, or maybe that's just the
group that she happened to film.But it was a group of like,

(00:42):
you know, forty fifty people,most of them old. They all sitting
around playing ukulele. So they allhave time to do so, I guess,
But what about somebody who is twentyfive, It has time to play
the guitar, you know why.Maybe it's just something like, Okay,
I want to play an instrument inmy old age, so I'm going to
start playing ukulele. And so anyway, go check her out. Ginny is

(01:04):
hiking and being adventuresome and she'll beback on Monday. We were talking earlier
about the fourth of July and howthe fourth of July was. You know,
we really got we get ft inMinnesota this summer. We're really getting
ft out of summer. You know, it's great that the days are longer
and it's not icy and snowy.But you know, I love bright,
sunshiny days, right same, Ifeel like I get I definitely feel you

(01:26):
there. It does obviously has beenraining a lot, but when it's not
raining, it's seventy five and sunnyand not like ninety five and sunny.
So I'm just like, okay,I'll take the rain. Also, I've
only had to water my garden twotimes this summer so far. Let's stop
and talk about your garden for asecond. So what are you growing?

(01:47):
Where is your garden? Because youlive in an apartment, you wouldn't think
that is there like a common groundoutside that you can grow a garden in
a lot, So it's not necessarilycommon. It's just that last year,
I I don't know, I waskind of like eyeing this like dirt slab
on the side of my building,and I'm garden level, so I have
like view of this dirt slab outsidemy window, and I just shot my

(02:07):
shoot, my shot and asked mylandlord if I could plant a garden there,
and he said yes. And soI have these three tiny little plots
that are just between like the apartmentwindows that I dug up and planted stuff
in, made like little fences aroundthem. So last year was my first
year having it. This year,obviously, I've replanted everything, but I've

(02:29):
you know, made choices on specificallywhat to plant. So a lot of
it are either snacking things or rootvegetables okay, your turn up, yeah,
exactly, yeah, or things thatI can like pick off and eat
right away, like peas and cherrytomatoes. Okay, stuff like that.
Oh nice. Yeah. But Iplanted a bunch of like wild flowers and

(02:50):
just different kinds of flowers because Iput those around the fence to make it
pop and look cuter, and everytime it rains, they just all the
seats wash away, so like thosedon't have enough time to like hold roots
unfortunately. Okay, but yeah,I haven't had to water any of it,
which is nice because they never putthe hose on my building, and
I've just been stealing those. Okay, building next door. It's funny when

(03:12):
you talk about gardening. I grewup. Gardening wasn't a fun activity for
us. It was like because wedid not we weren't poor. I don't
want to say we were poor.We did find but we saved money by
raising our own chickens and raising twogiant gardens. Our garden was the size
if you combine our two gardens.We had the north garden and the South
garden. Wow. And and ifyou combine the two of them would probably

(03:35):
be bigger than most people's yard alltogether, like the entire footprint of their
yards. They were speaker or somethingtotal, probably half an acre garden's garden
it was. It was huge,it was vast, and it was not
fun. We didn't go, oh, let's go check our garden. It
was like, boys, you gottago work in the garden today now,
pulling weeds, rototilling, watering,putting, whatever. So it was no

(03:59):
fun to me. And I rememberwhen I first moved here, I lived
in Plymouth, and I thought,oh, there's a spot outside for a
garden. So I went down andI rented a rototiller, because you got
to till up the ground before youcan plant. So I went down,
rented a rototiller and did something aboutthe size of the average bedroom and planted
it and then quickly didn't care.And so my crops grew up. I
had radishes, carrots are really easyto grow, peas, beans, whatever,

(04:24):
And I quickly didn't care, andI let it go like i'd let
the weeds take over. And Ijust quickly, I quickly did not care
because I think I realized that,hey, this reminds me of work back
on summer days when I was akid. Yeah, I'm going to get
into an email because I have aresponse to this one they say, please
don't say my name. I lovelistening to all of you. I listen

(04:46):
in the morning that I listened backto the podcast while I'm at work,
I listened to Jenni in Fallance Podcasts, and I spend the rest of my
morning working hours listening to Dave Ramsey, who I think does finances and true
crime. I need to have background, and you guys are my favorite.
Anyway, my aunt says a lotof dumb shit, and this weekend I
was in awe of her as shetold her seventy five year old uncle,

(05:09):
you were just a male carrier inVietnam. Now, I don't know why
that was insulting, but apparently itwas very insulting. Our jaws dropped in
utter disbelief. You can imagine,I'm no stranger to a foot in the
mouth moment, but holy fuck,I could not believe it. The audacity.
Again, I don't know why thatcomment was so insulting, but apparently

(05:30):
it was. That made me think, what was the time you witnessed an
interaction like this, or a timewhen you said something completely insensitive, rude,
or inappropriate? Ready go, Well, the first one that comes to
mind, and there have probably beenmany, was we were doing a Be
the Match video in the big performanceroom down the hall. So it was

(05:51):
me and Fallon and Steve and theguys from Kfan and maybe the guys from
K one O two, and soI was I had I used to wear
bronzer because I'm not a pale I'ma pale person. So I'm standing there
talking to Chris Hockey and we're doingthis video for Be the Match with a
man whose teenage son has like kidneycancer, and so they are looking for

(06:15):
a match for his kidney donor orwhatever and something like that. And now
remember this man is organizing this wholevideo and his son has cancer. Remember
that, got it? So I'mtalking to Chris Hockey between takes, and
Chris Hockey goes, man, youlook good. You wearing bronzer. I
said, man, you know,loud enough the entire room heard me.
Man, Chris, if I didn'twear bronzer, I'd look like I had

(06:35):
cancer. Oh my god, ohgod. And and nobody even made an
effort to be on my side,like, oh, but you know what,
I get it, sorry, youknow whatever. Everybody was like,
oh, and I'm like, I'mso sorry. I feel so stupid.
I said, that's totally on me. Nobody said that's okay, that's okay.

(06:58):
Everybody wanted to disassociate themselves from mebecause I said such a stupid fucking
thing. All right, I didn'twear one, I'd look like I have
cancer in front of a man whoseson has cancer. My god, what
about you? Can you think ofa foot in mouth moment? I don't
know. I don't really say thingsthat are bad, or if I do,
I apologize for them, so thenthey are lifted from my conscious though

(07:19):
true. Yeah, I guess.Last the other day before we left for
the fourth of July, we wereshow planning and I mentioned Juneteenth, and
when I said June teenth, Igestured to Vaunt and I felt and he
was like, why are you gesturingto me? And I didn't even think
that that was like a microaggression thatI was just like, yeah, you're

(07:39):
black, June teenth, that mattersto you. That felt. I felt
so stupid in that moment, andI felt so bad. I apologized later.
Well, you know, Vaunt islike a funny guy and very van
is also the kind of person who, because he says a lot, he
will also put his foot in hismouth here and there. And so we're
very forgiving, you know. AndI think that's one of the things.

(07:59):
If you know somebody, you knowthey're a good person, and you say
something like, oh, well youlike Juneteenth, right right, then we
know you're a good person. You'renot a goofball, you know. If
you want to write me back andlet me know, I won't say your
name. The woman who wrote inabout you were just a male carrier in
Vietnam. Why that was so insultingbecause clearly it was maybe maybe it said

(08:20):
somewhere that they were a VET andthey were like, oh, you're not
a real like you didn't see realaction. You were just a male Oh
okay, yeah. Because he's seventyfive years old, that would be right
around the age of a Vietnam Warveteran, right, So if he's like,
yeah, I was a VET,I saw a lot of action in
Vietnam, and they're like, youwere just a male carrier. All good,
good interpretation. Yeah, next one, Hello, Dave, Jenny vont

(08:43):
Bailey. I'm always trying to figureout something I could write in and ask
the show since I love your podcastso much, Well, thank you.
First thing, I love that Bailey'son the show. She adds in the
nerdiness that was missing from the show. I love her. Second thing.
On Friday's show last week, Davedid a little DJ puking. What everybody
tried to do their best DJ puking. I think it would sound hilarious.

(09:05):
Thanks, all right, keep ondart licking from Kristen. Now, when
we say DJ puking, what wemean is like DJs back in the day,
they used to kind of talk likethis a little bit and I will
tell you there is one person inour building that they're a little bit old
school and they still do this alittle bit because they're a DJ. And

(09:26):
that was kind of like DJ's backin the day, maybe back in the
seventies, eighties whatever, That iskind of what you used to talk like.
It is like, hey, it'sDave Ryan on what a one point
three kd WB And it's kind ofbecause you're puking with your voice, and
we would coach everybody in radio don'tdo that anymore. That is very passe.

(09:50):
Sure, Like I said, thereis somebody in the building who stun
still does it not a lot,but they still say all one point three
three a lot of law to pointthree and so. But now we've learned
talk naturally, and we talk naturally. That is That is so funny because
I sometimes I feel like I've rippedon Vant anytime I've sat in the room

(10:13):
when he has to like record somethingfor like a weekend show or whatever,
and he'd be like, hey,everybody, it's a bunt leak and uh,
I mean having a great day today or whatever. And he'll always
touch his ear when he does.Oh, like you're like yeah, like
yeah, yeah, and so Ipointed it out to him, and then
I think I ruined it for himbecause then every time he went to take

(10:33):
a do a take, he liketouched his ear and he's like, why
did you tell me that? Becausenow it's super obvious. But I love
that. That's funny to me.I'm glad you've grown out of it.
I don't know why people touch theirear. I think it's because you're supposedly
pushing an ear piece into your earto hear it better. I'm not sure.
I just always think of Mariah Carey, okay, yeah, And I

(10:56):
give Mariah credit. She probably knowswhat she's doing. I don't know,
So thank you, Christin. Iappreciate that. And peel Oh, I
was going to tell the story peopleused to say when I first got into
radio. They said, they'd say, do your DJ voice, and I
was kind of like, I usedto have. Okay, I'm going to
tell you this is not going totranslate well, but when I was new

(11:20):
in radio, we tend to findsomebody that we really like on the radio,
and we either consciously or unconsciously mimicthe way they sound. And there
was a guy, my first bossand I loved him. I grew up
listening to him, and he hada kind of a voice like this a
little bit, just a little bit, but it sounded really natural, and

(11:43):
so I started talking like that andI was like, hey, it's and
it was on an AM station,fourteen sixty KYSN. Hey it's Dave Ryan
on fourteen sixty kys N. BecauseI thought I was sounding like this guy
that I really admired. And mygirlfriend Cricket, She's like, why do
you sound like you're plugging your nose? And I'm like, I don't know

(12:03):
what you're talking to me out Butthen I quickly got over that. But
if you go back and listen,it would be mean, what are you
saying? Yeah, people in speechdo that all the time too, not
necessarily, not necessarily like the nasalthing, but they I call it speech
voice because they talk in a veryspecific cadence that they think is the correct
way to do public speaking. Andit drives me up the wall because it's

(12:28):
not how real people talk. SoI coach my students not to talk that
way, okay, And I'm tryingto like find I want to give you
like an example, but I don'tknow I'll have to find well, if
you can think of one. Yeah, And then there's something that I that
I coach people that I've coached peoplethat work in TV as well, and

(12:50):
TV people. The cliche in TVpeople is to be like, so we
are here at the courthouse where wejust had a converse with the district attorney,
and the district attorney says that sheis going to press charges. Everything
is very staccato and kind of weird. And so I've coached TV people to

(13:13):
be like, you know what,watch some of the people in big stations
in big cities, watch people onChannel nine, watch people on Channel five,
and they're just very they're talk they'reconversational, you know what I mean.
But the cliche, the TV one, is like, you have to
be very stilted, and you haveto be staccato as you talk, and
it's like no, natural works fine, right, And I feel like it's

(13:33):
easier to listen to when you speakmore naturally. That absolutely yeah, you're
in like in your DJ voice.Yes, Hello radio besties. I get
a question to comment, Feel freeto read one, both or not on
the podcast. This email is purelybecause I am forty five minutes early to
work, and I can't clock inyet, but if I'm not occupied somewhere

(13:56):
else, I'll start working. AndI've been told up by everybody here for
doing free work. Any who question, what are the rules about language on
the radio so arbitrary? Why arethey arbitrary? It blows my mind that
you can say things like bitch andjackass but not shit. It feels like
the old laws that made sense inthe eighteen hundreds are no longer relevant and
no longer and never get taken offthe books. For example, hamburgers may

(14:18):
not be eaten on Sundays law outof Saint Cloud. What more of these
fun nonsense laws are here at thislink? But back to the question,
is it as random or it seems? Is there a reason that shit is
more offensive than bitch? Oh?Absolutely, I mean that to me,
it's plain as day. Sure,ass or asshole or ass white. There's

(14:39):
some that seem to blur the lines, like you can legally say goddamn or
goddamn it on the radio, Oh, but it's distasteful, So we don't
sure you can legally say bitch orass on the radio, but you can't
say shit legally on the radio.You can't even say bullshit, which Jenny

(15:01):
didn't know about five years ago,and she said, well, that's bullshit.
We're like, Jenny, you can'tsay shit on the radio. So
the rules are so there. Usedto be it was seven words you can't
say on the radio, and itwas an old comedy routine by an old
school comic who's now gone named GeorgeCarlin. You ever heard of George Carlin?
Shit, piss fuck, cunt,cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits,

(15:22):
shit, piss fuck, cunt,cocksucker, motherfucker and tits. Well,
we've said tits on the radio wehave, and that one is kind of
you really should not, honestly,I guess it depends if it's like funny,
yeah, like oh, then shewent tits up, that's funny,
but it was like, yeah,like sexual or vulgar. Tits up is

(15:45):
like funny but not vulgar. Butthen yeah, show me your tits is
vulgar and sexual. But shit tome is plain as day. It's just
you wouldn't say it around your threeyear old, but then again, you
wouldn't say around your career. Iguess it's kind of like bitch is sort
of like funny too, like bitch, what are you talking about? Right?

(16:07):
And it's more acceptable now even ifyou say like you're a bitch,
it's clear that you're like being funny, right, like the sea word.
Like there's no fun context for thesea word. I mean among friends.
If you're there with your friend andlet's say it's two women hanging out of
a brewery and one of them keepsbuying the beers and the other one won't,
and she's like, you're being asea word, buy me a beer,

(16:30):
then it's funny. But if likea guy yells out the car window
at some woman like Europe, youknow, then it's not like it's not
vulgar and it's insulting and it's disgusting. No, I I totally understand that.
Yeah, you probably rarely use it. No ever, Donald ever spoken
it out loud. Okay, good, I don't want to. So we

(16:55):
got shit piss Like, well nowyou can kind of say piss me off
or you know, or piss offor whatever. So again it's not as
bad as it used to be.So we got shit piss fuck fuck of
course clearly is the ultimate swhere whereeverybody knows that one. Then you have
the C word, So is shit, piss, fuck, sea word?

(17:17):
Cocksucker? Okay, cocksucker. Obviouslyyou can't say that one. You know,
friends could say it to each other, like you know, if you're
you know, your best friend,whatever, dent your car, whatever you're
like, you know, I don'tknow, I can imagine that that being
set on the radio and then justabsolute crickets afterwards, like motherfucker. Clearly

(17:38):
can't do that one and tits.So there we go. I don't know.
I personally I think that shit isway more offensive than bitch, but
it might you might not agree.That wasn't in my training, so they
should add that in really on theradio. Well, I think a lot
of it is just kind of commonsense. But I hope we answered that

(18:00):
aarin, Thank you very much,appreciate that email. Let's see if we
got another one. Okay, here'sone. Nicole writes in I want to
get your opinion. About two monthsago, I borrowed five hundred dollars to
my boyfriend of two years on theagreement that he will pay me back.
So it's five hundred dollars two monthsago. In the last months, he's

(18:22):
been buying things that he doesn't reallyneed like another lawn chair when he already
has three, but this one hasa small table or a water bottle that
adds more oxygen or some kind ofshit to it. Why the hell do
you need that while I'm more likeJenny and why do we need more junks?
So I have now been requesting mymoney that he owes me, and
he is getting pissed and saying that'snot how relationships work and how I always

(18:45):
seem to have one foot out thedoor, when really I'm just trying to
protect myself. I've been burned alot in the past from ex's so I
don't have that much faith on borrowingmoney to my boyfriend now. And he
is saying I shouldn't let the pasteffect what is going on today. Long
story somewhat short. Am I theasshole for asking it back? Thanks for
any input you want to take thisone, Bailey, Well, it's your

(19:07):
money. I feel like you shouldn'tfeel like the asshole if it's You're the
one who did who loaned this moneyout of the goodness of your heart.
So if you need a back,ask for a back. It's your money.
And he's being the he's being clearlythe asshole by not paying you back
and telling you that it's your problemfor making a big deal out of it.
Now, five hundred dollars is alot of money, a lot of

(19:29):
money, and he has not paidany of it back. But he bought
another lawn chair and this one hasa small table or water bottle. Okay,
that's funny. I can't imagine whatthe hell you're talking about it.
But I remember Fallon loaned somebody herethat worked at the radio station on the
morning show. Fallon loaned them money. And I think because they needed something

(19:51):
for their car or repair, likethree thousands dollars and uh, and this
person was slowly paying them back ornot. But then they bought a new
pair of cowboy boots. They wentto the Kenny Chesney concert. They went
and they bought like a hoodie fromKitty Chesney and it's like they're wearing it

(20:12):
on social media. And Fallon waspissed because it's like, bitch, that's
my money, that's my money foryour tickets and you're not paying me back,
but you went to the Kenny Chesneyconcert. You gotta be really careful
about loaning anybody money. A lotof people get or either loan out money
or get loaned money on this showor let at least like I've heard of
three separate stories where they're like,I loaned so and so money. What

(20:34):
did you hear well from you?Who you loaned Drake money? Obviously this
Fallon loaned this other person money,yep. And I swear I heard about
somebody else loaning someone else money aswell. And it just seems like people
are like, hey, I needmoney, Oh you do, here's some
and then you just kind of likeplay musical chairs with all of your money.
Well, I like to be generousand I hate to see people like

(20:56):
need money and not have it,but I do. So I may have
an abundance that I could loan Draketwenty five hundred dollars. Yeah, and
he needed it. I don't rememberwhat he needed it for. But and
I'm not going to sit here anddisparage Drake. But I'll he paid back
fifteen hundred dollars and I'll never seeit. I'll never I mean he paid
I will never see the last thousands. I wonder if the person who borrowed

(21:18):
the money from Fallon ended up givingany of it back. I don't think
so wild that person got fired andthey I don't think have any contact with
Fallon at all. Gosh. Andif you don't have any contact with Fallon
or that person that you loan moneytoo, you're probably not going to see
them to say, hey, givethat back, where's my money? Yeah,

(21:40):
that's why I said last last weekon the show, I said,
never give out money that you expectto get back, because you likely won't
get it back. You likely won't. Yeah, Hey, granted, I
mean it doesn't hurt to ask back. So like our person emailing in about
the five hundred dollars, like,you can still ask for a back,
demand it back. I don't know, start selling his stuff on the side.
Right. Well, I think ifyou're going to loan anybody money,

(22:02):
you need to put some rules onit. Okay, when are you going
to pay this back? By it, I'm going to loan you twenty five
hundred dollars, When will I seeit back? And if they say,
well by next week, then youfucking hold them to next week. Yeah.
And if you and then you haveit in writing too, and so
they can't say and even if it'syour brother or your friend, but especially

(22:22):
if it's not somebody that you're superclose to, then you get it in
writing. So when they say Inever said i'd pay it back next week,
you can show them. Look yousaid here it is by July fifth,
bitch, you would pay it back? So shit right? Would you
look at you? Bitch? Andshit in one sentence? Let's work in
the word. Come on, saythe sea words. Say it, say

(22:44):
the sea word. Say it.No, you don't have to country a
country music that is so funny.It always surprises me when I hear a
woman say the sea word, becausewomen hate that word. But when and
I've heard women use it, likeeven women that I can't remember Jenny or
Fallon specifically, but there have beenwomen who've worked on the show and said

(23:07):
I hate her, She's a seaword. And I'm like, WHOA,
that's some powerful speak. I heardFallon say that one time we went to
lunch. She said it, andI was like, do you remember what
context it was? Was she talkingabout me? Yeah, she was talking
about specifically. She just went onand on and on it was. But
I think that really you have tohave a powerful distaste for another woman to

(23:27):
call a woman a sea word.I think probably in my entire life,
I probably only described two people asa sea word. Unless it's like somebody
who's driving bad, like they're cuttingin and out of traffic, or they're
like, you know, on myass. I'll be like, get up
my ass. You s word?Really yeah, But then I'm not like
directing it to them. They're ananonymous kind of person. A bitch,

(23:48):
that's what I do it, bitch. I'm like, let's go, you
stupid set bets. Well that's agood word. I like that. Then
that's creative. Yeah. We usethe word shit ass when I was a
kid. It's in my book becauseI talk about how when I was about
five years old, my mom wasupstairs talking on the phone, and then
I went downstairs picked up the bottomstead the downstairs phone. I picked it

(24:10):
up and I said shit ass.And I got in so much trouble because
as a five year old, youshouldn't know that word, and you certainly
should not pick it up and tellthe neighbor lady that my mom was talking
to shit ass. She's talking tolike a kind, nice old lady,
or like an insurance provider, likeshit ass. Oh, the world,
the world came to a grind itMy five year old world came to a

(24:32):
grinding halt because they didn't know whatto do. I didn't get spanked for
it, but I remember thinking,oh, I'm in really big trouble.
And they were discussing it like itwas like the United Nations gathering to discuss
how should we handle this. Theywelcome you in like one shining light came

(24:52):
down on you, like, David, why did I don't know? Like
an inquisition? All right, thatis it for the Minnesota goodbye. Send
your emails to Ryan Show at KDEWBTon com. I know it's like the
holiday weekend and Bailey and I weretalking about how there's no cars on the
road right now as we record this, it is six forty seven in the
morning on Friday. A War ofthe Roses replay is on the radio,

like a like peak lockdown era.There's no one that was so weird.
Okay, send your emails. Letus know about swearing, what, let
