(00:47):
Hi guys, how are you good? You were actually in
here eight years ago for your thirtieth birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yes, I was the crazy girl that loves alpacos.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So did you come in with an alpaca? We're trying
to remember this.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
No, I actually they I called an alpaca and I'm like,
the only thing I want to do for my thirtieth
birthday is like go see alpacas. And I'm pretty sure
they thought I was crazy because they don't normally have
people like at the far Yeah, and they're like, okay, we'll.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Take you out there.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
And my husband at the time was just like me
running after the alpaca is like a three year old
and like wanting to give them hugs and everything else.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I heard.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
They're kind of sometimes okay, you have to.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Like some of them have nice personalities and some of
them don't. Like if you get a mom and a baby,
the mom is like super territorial, but like the old,
like the old grumpier ones, they're like the nicer one.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, good, that's so funny. Well, I'm glad you're here.
Totally different reason.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
This, yeeah, totally different reason the sun.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You are doing a Christmas wish for a coworker, Yes,
at your daycare school. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
So I am a toddler teacher. I work at a
private daycare, private preschool called Knowledge Beginnings in Badness Heights.
And so she is a fellow coworker of my Not
only do I teach her son, but she teaches my son.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, so you kind of became friends.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
We kind of became friends. So I've been there like
over a year. We kind of became friends. My son
started going to the staycare but prior to me working there,
and then I met her and she is just like
one of the most kind of sweetest people.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
So I love that either way. If you want to
watch this whole thing, Marissa is on camera right now
at Dave Ryan TV on YouTube, and you would watch
Christmas Wish as it unfolds.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Marissa, he moved the mic just to the side of
your face. Show you beautiful face on the camera.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, all we can see is the Dave Ryan logo.
There you go over there.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Perfect. Now, Now, remember this happens without a net. Last
time I tried dialing out on this phone, which we
bought at radio Shack in nineteen ninety four, it didn't work.
But let me try it again to see if it worship.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Okay, it sounds good.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Okay, good tign Already there we go.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
At least we have a dial dog.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Okay, you're gonna have to dial it and put it
on hold, so you know. And the warranty ran out
on this radio shack phone in nineteen ninety five. So
it's kind of disappointing, but you know, we'll make it
work somehow. Genny is dialing the wish and what did
you tell her to make sure she answers the phone
this morning?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Actually I did it.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
My boss Holly, who's our executive director, was kind of like, Okay,
you have a special phone call coming, and she I
was like, it's from.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
A number you don't know answering.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Okay, good, hopefully she will. Oh, Hello, is this Melissa.
I'm Melissa. It's Dave Ryan on the radio over at
katie WB. Have you heard of KATWB before?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I have.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Okay, would you maybe have any idea? I'm not even
going to tell you why we're calling, but I can
help you save fifteen percent on your car insurance. Don't
hang up, don't hang up.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
I'm joking like, I don't know if I.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Am here to say that. I gotcha Marissa from work
and your friend is here.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Say hi, Marissa, Hi Melissa, Maria.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's Marissa and Melissa. Isn't that adorable? So Marissa wrote
in for our annual KATIEWB Christmas Wish? Are you familiar
at all with Christmas wish?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Uh not really actually no?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Okay. Well, basically what we do is we ask people
who listen to katiewb to tell us about somebody they
know that might be, I don't know what the word is,
struggling or challenged a little bit at Christmas because of
their situation. And she wants to help you out because
she loves you, and we're learning a little bit about
you and what she's going to do if you don't mind,
she's going to take a minute or two to read
(04:40):
her Christmas wish for you, Melissa, Can she do that?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, Hi Melissa, Okay Hi.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
There's a quote by Robin Sharma that perfectly describes Melissa's
wish story. Remember that the happiest people are not those
who have everything or those get more, but rather those
who are giving more. I'm a firm believer that certain
people are meant to cross your path in life and
forever change the way you appreciate all of life's blessings.
Melissa crossed my path over a year ago when I
(05:11):
started working as a toddler teacher at a private daycare
in Badness Heights called Knowledge Beginnings. Melissa is not only
my coworker, but my son's preschool teacher and fantastic mom
of three beautiful children.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
For those of you who know her of cross paths
with her, know.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
That she has one of the most dedicated teachers to
her students, her classroom, and her family. She is truly
one of the most giving, kind and selfless people I've
ever met in my life, and has truly taught me
that happiness is not defined by things, but by spreading
kindness and joy. Racily, Melissa has encountered quite the hardship.
She was able to get out of a rough situation
and move out on her own with her three children
to her own apartment in Woodbury. As a single mother,
(05:47):
she is truly starting over with the bare minimal things
to support her and her children, and this Christmas I
have nominated her for Dave Ryan's Christmas Wish.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
No mother should ever have to worry each day about
how she.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Will afford basic things, how she'll pay rent to keep
a roof over her head, or how she will begin
to even tackle affording Christmas presents for her children, or
let alone getting a gift herself. Melissa spent so much
time giving everything she has to everybody else around her
that it's time she and her family received some blessings
and we took care of her.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Today. Your wishes come true.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
And I hope you know how much you are loved, appreciated,
and cared for by your friends, family, and students in
your community. We love you, Melissa, and we hope these
blessings truly make your Christmas beautiful and forgettable. And I'll
end it with this, what if Christmas doesn't come from
a store, maybe Christmas means a little bit more from
the Grinch.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And we love you, Melissa.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, that was very sweet.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
That was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It really was. And so to follow up with her idea,
we want to help you out. And the first thing
I talked to Marissa a couple of days ago and
I said, well, what is she? What is what is Melissa?
What does Melissa need? She needs a vacuum cleaner? Yep,
do you need a vacuum cleaner?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Well, good too that I have. They work. They just
still work very well.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, you know that happened. Vacuum cleaners there, they're just
they do that. We got you an expensive Bissel Cross
Wave Edge Fine vacuum cleaner. Merry Christmas. But wait, there's more,
because we're not going to just give you a vacuum
cleaner and say that's it, but we do.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I would be happy with just that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'll bet you would. It's so important of a working
vacuum cleaner. You've got. You've got three kids. Let's let's
talk about Elijah. Elijah's your baby. Fifteen months old? Yes, yes,
So for Elijah, we got some toys, we got some clothes.
We got a paw patrol fire engine. I think that's
(07:39):
about the right age. It's getting pretty close to the
right age. Avery. How old is Avery?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Two?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Three? Okay? Avery? Is that a boy or a girl? Name?
A girl name?
Speaker 5 (07:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I love that name. If I ever have another baby,
I'm a name or him Avery. We've got some lounge
wear and some trendy outfits. We got a toy doctor kit,
a toy makeup k oh yeah good h and some
bath bombs for Avery. Some things to put under the tree.
And is it Bryson that is your six year old?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yes, tell me about Bryson. What is Bryson into?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
I mean, he's right now seriously into legos. Otherwise, he
loves like any any kind of dinosaur. He's just been
really into like the Jurassic World stuff. Otherwise he just
likes building and like working with his hands.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I guess like.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
This one, We've got a Jurassic World dinosaur revealed toy
that we think he'll like. We've got Minecraft legos so
he can yah. I hope he scatters him on the
floor and you step on him in the dark. And
just remember remember this Christmas wish. Magnetic tiles. We got
some cargo pants and a best and you know, kids
(08:56):
don't care about clothes, but mom does and he needs
them anyway. We got a hoodie and some khakis. And
then for you, Melissa, just to kind of ease the burden,
we get just kind of a boatload a variety of
different things. Here. One hundred and one dollar Holiday Station
Stores gas card to cover a couple of tanks of gas.
Three hundred dollars down at Target for gifts or groceries

Pizza gift card to everybody who's getting to wish this year.
So you got that.
Speaker 4 (09:35):

And here's something nobody has ever, ever, ever wished for
a free oil change. But guess what, Amy and everybody
at Valveeleine has donated three no two free oil changes
from Valveleene instant oil Change. And thanks to Amy and
Valveeleine for donating them. And it's one of those things
where you don't go, wow, I really want to get

No, I actually they I called an alpaca and I'm like,

people like at the far Yeah, and they're like, okay, we'll.

I heard.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
They're kind of sometimes okay, you have to.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Like some of them have nice personalities and some of
them don't. Like if you get a mom and a baby,
the mom is like super territorial, but like the old,
like the old grumpier ones, they're like the nicer one.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's Marissa and Melissa. Isn't that adorable? So Marissa wrote
in for our annual KATIEWB Christmas Wish? Are you familiar
at all with Christmas wish?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Uh not really actually no?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Okay. Well, basically what we do is we ask people
who listen to katiewb to tell us about somebody they
know that might be, I don't know what the word is,
struggling or challenged a little bit at Christmas because of
their situation. And she wants to help you out because
she loves you, and we're learning a little bit about
you and what she's going to do if you don't mind,

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, Hi Melissa, Okay Hi.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
There's a quote by Robin Sharma that perfectly describes Melissa's

Melissa crossed my path over a year ago when I

my coworker, but my son's preschool teacher and fantastic mom
of three beautiful children.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
For those of you who know her of cross paths
with her, know.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
That she has one of the most dedicated teachers to

And we love you, Melissa.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, that was very sweet.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
That was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It really was. And so to follow up with her idea,
we want to help you out. And the first thing
I talked to Marissa a couple of days ago and
I said, well, what is she? What is what is Melissa?
What does Melissa need? She needs a vacuum cleaner? Yep,
do you need a vacuum cleaner?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Well, good too that I have. They work. They just
still work very well.

Wave Edge Fine vacuum cleaner. Merry Christmas. But wait, there's more,
because we're not going to just give you a vacuum
cleaner and say that's it, but we do.

vacuum cleaner. You've got. You've got three kids. Let's let's
talk about Elijah. Elijah's your baby. Fifteen months old? Yes, yes,

right age. Avery. How old is Avery?
