Speaker 1:
[00:10] I am pretty proud of myself because I saved probably a $200 service call at the old house last night, because we're selling the old house in Chanhance and it closes tomorrow. And the garage doors were wonky, so you would push one button, one door would go up, the other would go down, and then you would try to change it, and then the other one go up and the other one go down. So it was just kind of like, and the remotes were messed up and one didn't, whatever. So I thought, okay, we're going to have to call like Metro garage door, whatever, have them come over $200 service call. I went over there last night and I figured out how to fix it. I got the remotes all set up. I got the inside button and the outside button, all good to go. So I kind of felt like Jenny and did a little home repair and didn't have to call Metro garage.
Speaker 2:
[00:58] Is it YouTube it or how did you figure it out?
Speaker 1:
[01:00] No, I just figured it out. There's apparently an because you know when you set up your garage door opener, there's a learn button. So you get a little step ladder and you reach up there and you tap the learn button. Then you hit your remote button and it click click and it goes, it's learned it. But there's also an unlearn button. If you hold that learn button for six seconds, it'll click click and now it's clear and blank. And now you start all over again. So that's what I did. Figured it out all by myself.
Speaker 3:
[01:29] Does the button say learn?
Speaker 1:
[01:30] It does. It says learn. Wow.
Speaker 3:
[01:32] Okay. Interesting.
Speaker 4:
[01:33] Good for you. I would not have done that.
Speaker 1:
[01:36] It just kind of made sense. And I was like, yeah, I took a video of it working. And then you know what else I did? I went upstairs because the new owners take possession tomorrow. And I went upstairs to the kids room. Kids rooms one last time. I won't ever be in that house ever again. And I went upstairs and I stood there in Alison's room. And I thought of all the growing up that she did from 11 years old until college age. And Carson was too when he moved into that house. And I stood there in his bedroom and I could see the little footprints from his bed and the footprints from his desk legs. And I was like, aww.
Speaker 3:
[02:17] For a second when you say I could see the footprints, I thought you didn't clean the carpets in there.
Speaker 1:
[02:20] No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3:
[02:21] No, you could imagine the little footprints.
Speaker 1:
[02:23] Well, I could see from where the bed sat. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
[02:27] Aw, did you take a video of that, Seth?
Speaker 1:
[02:28] No, I didn't take a video. No, and I don't think I need one. But I will give you a little piece of advice when, if you're a parent, take a picture of your kid's bedroom, because it changes year by year. So if you've got a six-year-old little girl, take a picture of her bedroom, because in another five years, eight years, 10 years for sure, it ain't going to look the same. And you're going to kind of fondly remember what that looked like with little stuffed animals on the bed and a poster of whatever and maybe Minnie Mouse doll over here. And when they're 16, take a picture of that too, because that won't last forever either. So take a little picture of that because you'll want to remember that.
Speaker 4:
[03:04] You do the typical sitcom thing where you stare at the room, stare at the room, and then like hold the door like, and then you walk out. Like that video we did when we moved the new studio. Damn, we're doing a lot of moving a lot lately.
Speaker 1:
[03:13] Yeah, I know, yeah.
Speaker 4:
[03:14] It's your house, the studio.
Speaker 1:
[03:16] Kind of like that.
Speaker 3:
[03:17] Yeah, you two need a hug.
Speaker 1:
[03:19] I'm okay. You're a brand new guy. Speaking of houses, Bailey is looking at houses.
Speaker 3:
[03:24] I have a showing today. It's my first showing ever. I've never had done, not done, gone to a house showing ever. So this one, I'm excited. It's a small house, but I am one person. And it's in Northeast Minneapolis, which is like literally ideal. That would be so nice. So the Northeast. But I'm nervous because I've seen it now posted on two different like real estate Instagrams that aren't my real estate agent. So I'm like, oh crap, people are gonna want it.
Speaker 4:
[03:54] Is a showing just like a tour? Or is that with a bunch of people? Or is it just you?
Speaker 1:
[03:58] I don't know how it works.
Speaker 3:
[03:59] I think it's just me.
Speaker 1:
[04:00] No, it's just you. A showing is just you. An open house is when like anybody can come in at all. They'll do like Sunday from two to five as an open house. And that's where you walk in. And usually there's like maybe one other couple and a very anxious, friendly realtor with pamphlets on the kitchen table. Yeah. Hi. Hey, you have any questions? Just let me know.
Speaker 3:
[04:17] Today is the first day it's open for showings. And then I'm going at one and I'm bringing my mom.
Speaker 1:
[04:23] Oh, good.
Speaker 3:
[04:23] Of course. I like it a lot. I've sent the video of it to Jenny. And it's really cute. It's super cute. The only thing I don't like it is that the floors are creaky. But I've lived in 100 year old buildings for like 10 years. So I know.
Speaker 2:
[04:36] I was going to say, is your floor not creaky? Oh, no, it's very creaky. Oh, I thought maybe because you were on like the garden level, it didn't creak or something.
Speaker 3:
[04:43] No, it's just a creaky place.
Speaker 4:
[04:45] Guess what? You can hire DIY Dave to come in, take the creaks out the floor.
Speaker 1:
[04:51] It's got to be a creak reset button over here.
Speaker 3:
[04:54] Can you take the creaks out my floor? Unlearn creak.
Speaker 4:
[04:57] Can you unlearn the creak?
Speaker 1:
[04:59] That's awesome. It is KDWB. We have War of the Roses coming up. Demi Lovato tickets coming up in a second. This is really interesting. In a second, we're going to take a break. I'll come back and I'll tell you about 10 outdated wedding traditions. Now, Vaughn's getting married sometime in the next couple of years. Yeah, hopefully. Outdated wedding traditions. For example, they used to say, no black at weddings. Don't wear black at weddings. No, that used to be reserved for funerals only, but now black is considered chic at a wedding. Another one, I'll give you a little preview. The bride's family pays for everything. That is an outdated wedding tradition. These days, everybody chips in because they're expensive, and the bride's family doesn't always have a lot of money. So we'll cover those coming up next. Need us for anything? You know how to reach us. And if you don't, it's KDWB1. That's our short code to text us on KDWB. Pay attention, Vaunt, because you're going to want to learn these wedding traditions that are now outdated.
Speaker 4:
[05:56] Yes, I need all the help I can get.
Speaker 1:
[05:58] No black at weddings. That used to be reserved for funerals only, but now black is considered chic at a wedding. I don't know about white at a wedding, though. I still think to wearing white at a wedding is still a bad idea.
Speaker 2:
[06:08] I don't think so.
Speaker 3:
[06:09] White based, but it's got like a pattern on it, like a bunch of big flowers.
Speaker 2:
[06:14] I always wonder that too. If it's super florally, but there's white in it, that makes me wonder.
Speaker 4:
[06:19] White isn't the over encompassing color. I think you're straight. I think.
Speaker 1:
[06:22] Okay, next one, the bride's family pays for everything. These days, everybody chips in. Next one, you got to bring a gift to the wedding. Most couples want gifts sent ahead. Okay, all right.
Speaker 3:
[06:35] Okay.
Speaker 1:
[06:36] If it's your second wedding, it should be small. Who said that? Maybe it should be bigger than the first. Go wild. I don't know whatever you want to do. But if it's your second wedding, people will expect it to be a little bit smaller. Fallon's second wedding was definitely small. I didn't go to her second wedding. I was busy.
Speaker 2:
[06:50] You have the I Heart Festival.
Speaker 1:
[06:52] I probably have the I Heart Radio Music Festival. But her first one was like a celebration of everything extravagant.
Speaker 2:
[06:58] Wow, okay.
Speaker 1:
[06:59] It was a big old wedding. Next one, asking for money is rude, but now it's common to send cash to help fund their honeymoon.
Speaker 4:
[07:08] Yeah, that's what we're going to probably do. I don't want forks. I don't want like a...
Speaker 1:
[07:12] China?
Speaker 4:
[07:13] Comforter sets. I don't want all that.
Speaker 2:
[07:15] Isn't that why it's kind of outdated? Because people used to get married much younger, so they needed those things. And now it's like you've accomplished your life. So now you're like, just give me money.
Speaker 1:
[07:23] You ever heard of a hope chest?
Speaker 2:
[07:25] No.
Speaker 1:
[07:25] Okay, let me tell you what a hope chest is.
Speaker 2:
[07:27] Oh, have I heard of it?
Speaker 1:
[07:28] A hope chest is what women several generations ago would save in the hopes that one day they would get married. They would fill it up with pots and pans and glasses and forks and knives and a coffee maker, and they would keep it sometimes in a literal chest for the one day when they'd get married, they'd have the things that they would need. But you're right, people get married now at 28 or 30 years old. They already got a coffee maker. They got a Keurig. They already got a Fry Daddy.
Speaker 3:
[07:56] They move in together like three years before they get married, and then they get all that stuff then.
Speaker 1:
[07:59] That's right, they don't need it. By the way, Fry Daddy should come back. I'm just saying.
Speaker 3:
[08:03] Fry Daddy?
Speaker 1:
[08:03] Yep. The bridesmaids must match. That is an old tradition that has gone away. Wedding parties must be split by gender. It used to be all the girls were on this side, the boys on this side. Not anymore.
Speaker 3:
[08:14] I like that.
Speaker 1:
[08:15] You can have whoever you want on whatever side.
Speaker 3:
[08:17] I think that's fun. And you can wear whatever you want, kind of, because I've seen plenty of bridal parties that have girls in suits because they just wanted to wear pants. Like, I don't want to wear a dress. I don't like dresses. So, like, I'm going to wear pants.
Speaker 1:
[08:28] Okay.
Speaker 3:
[08:29] I like that. I think that's kind of fun.
Speaker 1:
[08:31] Everybody gets a plus one. Not anymore. People are more selective now because everything is so expensive and they might not want you to bring your kids either.
Speaker 4:
[08:41] Plates are pricey.
Speaker 1:
[08:42] Another wedding, outdated wedding tradition, the bouquet toss is mandatory. Nothing's mandatory anymore. You do you. They used to be like, okay, all the women would line up and the bride would toss the bouquet. Not anymore. I mean, you sure can if you want to, but you don't have to. And the dress has to be white. We'll wear whatever color you want. It's your day.
Speaker 3:
[09:04] Pink.
Speaker 1:
[09:05] You could wear pink if you want to. You stand out. If you get married one day and the odds are not in your favor, and you dress like you normally dress like Miss Frizzle, I'm coming up there. I'm going to take it down to David's Bridal and we're going to go shopping right there on your wedding day.
Speaker 3:
[09:19] I wouldn't mind wearing not like bright pink, like girly pink, like whitish pink.
Speaker 1:
[09:25] No, I could see it already. She's going to wear like an off blue, kind of a lavender color with giant crayons printed all over it.
Speaker 3:
[09:33] Cute though, that sounds cute.
Speaker 1:
[09:35] It is cute.
Speaker 3:
[09:36] You'd remember me.
Speaker 1:
[09:37] I would, but I'd be like, Bailey, it's your wedding. You have a dress with crayons all over it.
Speaker 3:
[09:41] You trip me as I'm going down the aisle. I'd be like, hey.
Speaker 1:
[09:44] Stop it now. All right, we need to know what your sing-along song of the day is. We'll be doing that in a couple of minutes on KDWB. There's research, and I want to find this for you, because I saw this earlier, and it's basically like blasting music boosts your mood, which is kind of what we've been saying, but it helps out if it's like older music. Let me see if I can find the story here. Hold on one second.
Speaker 2:
[10:04] Older or like nostalgic.
Speaker 1:
[10:05] Here it is. Throwback. If you feel stressed, blast some throwback songs. According to experts, listening to music from your childhood or teen years can help lower stress and improve your mood by reminding your brain of positive memories in simpler times. It's called the nostalgic reset. Those familiar songs connect you to moments when life felt safer, happier, or more carefree, which can be incredibly grounding during stressful days. Because I think when you're 16, you're worried about homework and boys or girls or whatever. Do you know how to kiss well or whatever? But your parents handle everything, man. They handle your food, your cooking, your shopping, your vacation, your doctor's appointments, your insurance, your parents do so much that you really aren't... You got stress when you're 16, but it's not adult stress.
Speaker 2:
[10:56] It's not the same kind of stress.
Speaker 1:
[10:57] It's a whole different kind of stress.
Speaker 2:
[10:59] Well, good luck telling your 16-year-old self that. You think the world is ending.
Speaker 4:
[11:02] At 16, it's like, does he like me?
Speaker 3:
[11:05] This is the worst!
Speaker 4:
[11:06] Should we kiss him to the bleachers?
Speaker 1:
[11:07] So let's do a throwback song for the sing-along song of the day. And pick a throwback song. Pick a song that you love to listen to when you were 16 years old, and then text us at Katie WB1. That's the short code. It's 53921. Even if you've never texted before, loved to have a first-time texter, text us and let us know what song, and maybe even let us know how old you were approximately when you used to listen to that song. So maybe it was, I don't know, bye-bye-bye, back when you were 14 years old. Text us and let us know. We'll pick an oldie, kind of a throwback song, and we'll play that for the sing-along song of the day coming up in a second. You can't make this stuff up. Brought to you proudly by the Leo Agency. Choose leo.com, and we'll be right back.
Speaker 2:
[11:52] Come for the music.
Speaker 1:
[11:53] Stay because you forgot to change the station.
Speaker 4:
[11:56] The Dave Ryan Show on KDWB.
Speaker 1:
[11:59] We had so many great suggestions for kind of a throwback, feel-good, sing-along song of the morning. So if we didn't get to yours, we loved it. There were so many good ones. Push It by Salt and Pepper, Wanna Be, Baby One More Time, Candy by Mandy Moore, Skater Boy. So many, but we chose a special girl on the phone, little birthday girl, Katie. Hello, birthday girl. How are you?
Speaker 5:
[12:25] I'm good. How are you, Dave?
Speaker 1:
[12:26] I'm good. Katie is turning the big 4-0 today.
Speaker 5:
[12:32] Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
Speaker 1:
[12:34] So what are you doing for the big 4-0 today, Katie?
Speaker 5:
[12:38] Well, I'm currently driving to work right now on three hours of sleep because I was at the playoff game last night.
Speaker 1:
[12:46] I didn't even look. Did the wild win last night? No.
Speaker 5:
[12:49] Stars won it in double overtime.
Speaker 1:
[12:51] Oh, no. Okay. So is that your birthday outing or are you going out tonight to manny's or something?
Speaker 5:
[12:59] We're going out to Texas Roadhouse tonight.
Speaker 4:
[13:04] They're going to put you on the saddle so you can sing Happy Birthday.
Speaker 2:
[13:07] Yeah.
Speaker 1:
[13:08] Is that a thing there? Yeah.
Speaker 4:
[13:09] It's just like a still saddle, but they put you on it and then you pretend to be a little cowgirl. They did it for my grandma for her 50th.
Speaker 2:
[13:16] I love it.
Speaker 3:
[13:17] We do it every year.
Speaker 5:
[13:18] So, but yeah, I know my dad's birthday was yesterday and he actually drove up from Texas to celebrate with me, and so I took him to the game last night, so that's kind of his birthday last night. So, sorry, wild fans.
Speaker 1:
[13:30] Yeah, it's a tough night. Go Wolves!
Speaker 3:
[13:34] Go Wolves!
Speaker 1:
[13:34] Go Wolves!
Speaker 5:
[13:35] Wolves and Five.
Speaker 1:
[13:36] What can I play for you for your 40th birthday today, Katie?
Speaker 5:
[13:40] I'd love to hear Backstreet's Back by Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 1:
[13:45] Because you used to scream, sing along with it in your bedroom. Yeah.
Speaker 5:
[13:49] Absolutely.
Speaker 1:
[13:51] Great throwback. Happy birthday, Katie. Thanks for listening.
Speaker 5:
[13:55] Thank you guys. Have a great day.
