Speaker 1 (00:00):
Had a request for a little Christmas time story. My
wife Susan never went to church, never went to Sunday
school or vacation Bible School. She does not know the
Christmas story, but she's heard little bits and nibs and
nabs Theosmoses.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So here is my.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Wife Susan's version as she knows it of the Christmas story.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So here's the story of Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
There was a king and he had a big city.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Named Bethlehem, and there were these two married couples. Are
one married couple, Mary and God, and the king Ooh
was celebrating the city's big festival. And Mary and God
found out that day at the celebration that she was pregnant.
(01:01):
She wasn't too happy because she was really crabby, and
God knew it too, But they went ahead and went
to the big festival that.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
The king was having.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And that night they were done with the celebration, and
they thought they had a room at a hotel, but
there wasn't any, so they found this barn and.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
People from the celebration.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
The three kings went to the barn too because they
heard that Mary had this baby, and they brought gifts
to the baby.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Some of them brought.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
A basket of fruit, another person brought a block of gold,
and the third person brought a baby blanket with the
name Jesus. On that night she had her baby, and
from that point forward, the King changed the celebration to Christmas,
(01:58):
and everybody celeb righted and burnt through that.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Baby from then on.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And that is my wife, Susan's version of the Christmas
story as she knows it. I love the baby blanket
that has the word Jesus on it. We are going
to church on Christmas Eve. We're going to Westwood Church
out and chan happening. It is Pastor Joel's I believe,
his last Christmas services. Now you're going, how should I know?
(02:27):
Pastor Joel? He was the one who married Kim Kardashian
and that Wolves player what was his name, Chris?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Thank you? I never knew that.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, he actually so. Pastor Joel is kind of a legend,
and he's so great. He's like, you know, yes, he's
like a man of God and all that, but he's
also he's just a great motivational speaker. So even if
you weren't a Christian, you go watch plant Pastor Joel
and you walk out of there going, yeah, wow, I
feel real relaxed.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I feel right now. I feel real inspired right now.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So we're gonna do that. But here's what really, Pastor Joel,
I'm mad because here's what happened. Last year. You make
a reservation to go to Westwood because they they sell out,
I mean, they don't sell tickets, but it's it's it's packed.
So you say, I'm going to come to the seven
o'clock services or whatever. And we got there and it
(03:19):
was full. It was full even though we had made
a reservation. And so we've got we got banished to
the secondary Sanctuary, which is down the hall, and it's
a beautiful sanctuary, nothing wrong with it, but you don't
get the band, and you don't get Pastor Joel, you
get a video screen. And so this year, so we
(03:39):
were we weren't bummed, but we were a little bit
bummed because we want to be in there with the
choir and the and the music and the bass and
the saxophone, like you're secondhand church. You're get secondhand church.
But it was better than nothing. We still felt the
spirit of the Lord amen. So but but this year
we made reservations and we actually saved seats for us,
(04:02):
because these people just are they're getting under my skin
that they're rushing in there and taking up seats when
we should get in there because we made reservation.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You should get in there.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Yeah, oh really, Yeah, I hope that your reservation is
for the overflow.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Room once again this year?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Why would you?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Because what day is you're going on? Christmas?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Christmas Eve?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Christmas Eve? Great? What other day do you go to church? David?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
The silence is deafening. The silence is deafening. You deserve
the overflow room. That's where all you creasts go.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
So I was over here. I didn't know if anybody
else knew that term. You are definitely as.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I've never heard of that. It's Christmas Easter.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Yeah, this is the only times you go to church
Christmas Easter, maybe Mother's Day for your mom.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yes, because that's when the Lord calls me to church.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
The only two days. It's in Sunday, the Holy Day.
Shouldn't the Lord be calling you on the holiday.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
The Lord calls me to church on Christmas Eve?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
About ash Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Doesn't say anything about Wednesday? That no, no, no, The Lord
calls me to church on Christmas eve you're gonna show
there should be a space for me. I don't want
to sit in the overflow. The overflow doesn't suck.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Well, maybe you just show up more often, show your
face that way the congregation.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
That would do any good, because then I'd be mad
that the chreasters are taking up the seats in the
main saying.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
The congregation will know you because you show your face
more than once, maybe.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Twice a year each They don't know each other.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
They know you more than once or twice a year,
and they'll be like, oh, Dave and Susan, Okay, we
can We'll make it.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
He gets them in.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
This is why I'm worried about if I went to
church more often. You know what would happen? Hey, Dave,
you want to teach Sunday school?
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Nobody would ever ask you to anything about the Lord.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I would be a great Sunday school teacher.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
No, you want you're going to teach Sunday school?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Dave?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's no, David, Oh that's so good. What age group
or would they have me be in charge of youth group? Yeah,
you're going overnight up the loots and we're gonna take
a bust load of ninth graders up the look.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
No that sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
God, it does not sound fun. Oh, David and suits
are gonna chaperone the trip to the Zi.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
No, we're not.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That's why I can't go to church more often. If
I were supposed to, the Lord would call me more
to church.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeahrty, but he only calls you on Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
On Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And the Eastern you disgussed me.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I discussed you with everybody that I know, and they
all said, you're disgusting. What that's what I said.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It's Jenny the Dave Ryan Show on Katie w B.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
We are just wondering, why are you on the naughty
list or why are you on the nice list? What
did you do that you're on the naughty list. Maybe
you went out and bought in nineteen ninety seven Mazda
Miata without asking your partner whether you could or not.
Now you're on the naughty list. Maybe you ordered the
present that he was supposed to get you and it
(06:53):
came in the mail yesterday and you all put it
in front of him and he's like, I got one
of those for you for Christmas. Ah, you're on the
naughty list. Or maybe you chaperone your kids ski trip
to a spirit mountain. You're on the nice list.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Nice list?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, and what have you done that you're on the
naughty list or on the nice list.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Well, I'm clearly on the nice list, Dave, because I
joined my church choir this year to sing about the
lort and spend time with my mommy.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
So okay, I'm on the nice list. Okay.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
I think I'm also on the nice list only because
I feel like I had so many friends that were
really good at being there for me through a tough
view that I had, so I tried to reciprocate that
even if I was having a hard time, because I've
had friends who have had really tough years too.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
So you're a good friend. So here in the nice list, David,
not your nice.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Probably on the naughty list because I'm a turd of
a person. Most people they say hi to me, then
I turn to walk away, they go, what a turd
he is? Yeah, so I would say, probably I'm on
the I'm on the I'm on the bad not the
naughty list.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I'm a borderline because I've started the pot so many
times this year. Man talking about that, I talk on
speakerphone in public or uh, do too many sprays of cologne.
But then I took my girlfriend out for her birthday
and she loved it, so that evens the plane.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
You made her pay for it, you made I took
hers Linse.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
We we did ask some people on Facebook if they
are on the naughty of your nice list, and Melissa said,
my three year old put me on the naughty list
because my muscles are small, and also I am the
parent that goes to the gym. Canoe said, I'm on
the nice list because I became a mom, so that's cute.
David David, he's on a naughty list because his sister
(08:36):
asked him to pick up his six year old niece
one day from school, let her play on the playground
for a while before telling her we had to leave,
and she yelled.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
You're mean.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You'll never be a princess who naughty list too? I guess.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Wow, Okay, what about you? Are you on the naughty
list or on the nice list? Tell me what you
did that was naughty, or maybe tell me what you
did that was really nice. Use the top back feature.
We'll see if we get some here and have some
fun with this talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Tap
the red microphone and tell us your name and why
you're on the naughty list or on the nice list,
and we'll play some of those back in just a second.
(09:13):
On KDWB. Are you on the naughty list or on
the nice list and tell us why use a talkback
or you can text it in at KDWB one five three,
nine to two one. Here's one. I'm on the nice list.
I'm in volunteering at the Animal Humane Society every other week,
and I take my dog to visit residents at the
nursing home once a month. That is, you are on
(09:35):
the nice list. I am on the nice list going
into twenty twenty six. I'm going on a surrogate journey.
That must mean that they are going to be the
surrogate mama.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:44):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I am on the nice list because with my tattooed
mentor was out of town for a week. I painted
the bathroom, cleaned the entire shop that is very nice,
took out the trash, wash the shop floor.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Okay, so says I don't know if this is naughty
or nice, but I dump my loser boyfriend last week,
and I feel like it's naughty because it's so close
to Christmas.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
But man, does it feel nice save some money? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Right, truly another one. I'm on the nice list this
year because I spent all year taking care of ungrateful
and mean patients in their families and not once said
the things that I was actually thinking at the time. Lucas,
thank you for doing what you do. Do you have
any talk?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Packs?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
No, no talks. People are busy on.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Vacation already, they're busy shopping.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I know, right, I still have to buy one more present.
So my sister's spouse, I don't really know anything about them.
They don't really speak, so I always wait until the
very last second, and then I just kind of throw
in extra gifts for my niece Josephine, and then I'm
just like, here you go, it's family gift.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
I did the whole thing where my older sister, she's
always the one who's responsible with me and my sisters
to get the gifts for our parents. It's like the
one thing I allow someone else in my life to
take charge of. And this year she's like, I'm swamp, Jenny,
can you buy this gift card for Dad? And I go,
of course, so I buy it and then what does
it do. It sets up an account which has my address,
and then it says, all right, the gift card will
be shipped to your address. Meanwhile, I'm about to jet
(11:13):
back to Wisconsin. No, it was not the best choice
to have me buy the gift card that now we
will not have a present to physically give our dad
on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I take a picture of it.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Question, can I ask you a question? I know, Jenny
that you hang your Christmas cards on the refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I do.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Did you hang my Christmas card on your refrigerator?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I did?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Yeah. I mean it doesn't really have a prominent spot.
It's kind of like purds the bottom, but it's there
because I kind of like decide which ones I want to,
like have my eyesight see, yeah, yeah, yeah, And yours
was a little bit of an eye sore since you
couldn't even have a real picture.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It was an AI.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
But I normally put more of my favorite people towards
the top, so you know, like my sister and my
niece and nephew, and so you put.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
The people that you love more up at the top.
I'm down near the bottom by the great the air intake.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Great, yeah, you were like when I watch dogs, their
dog hair gets on it because they were past it.
That's kind of the spot that you have. I did
put vond in Alyssa's cart up too. They're more towards
the top because more effort. It's a real photo.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's very cute. Shout out. My friend's cameon, Zander.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
They got married this year, so I got a beautiful
photo of them from their wedding day towards the top.
But yeah, you know, I think everyone does that, right.
You put your Christmas cards, the ones you like more
towards the top.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Of your fridge.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
I put mine on the side because that's where the
little counter is, so I can look at the people
that I like the most right on the side of
my as I'm like preparing stuff.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
I think without thinking about it now that like I'm
looking at my fridge in my head, there's definitely like
a wedding invitation that we don't have any intention on
going to at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
More important top.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, I guess so unintentionally, I just kind of randomly
placed mine everywhere. I mean, I get ones from people
that I barely know. It's like, oh, I'm surprised you
even still to send me a Christmas card. I slap
it up on the fridge because I figure that's a
showing of It's kind of like on your birthday. How
many people wish you happy birthday on Facebook? You count
him up and you go, four hundred and twenty people
like me. That's a lot. I'd get about fifteen fifteen
(13:13):
people like me this year. TA get about you know,
forty Christmas cards on the fridge. I'm like, oh, forty
people like me this year?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yeah, big is your fridge.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's a huge fridge.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I overlap, overlap.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Yeah, you're saying, oh, I'm shocked that they even gave
me a card. If you if you're shocked that they
even gave you a hot card, that's an instant bottom
of the fridge situation to me.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I get you.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, I just kind of put him wherever. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
No, I put my favorites at the top. And I
also I love my cousin. Don't get me wrong, but
she sends a card every year to me of her
kids and her husband. Her husband's in the army. He
looks like he wants to murder someone in the photos
every year.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That's the kind of person you want in the Army.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
He's one of the nicest people I've ever met. I
will say that, but the man doesn't know how to
smile for a photo. Every time I wait to see
what he looks like in the Christmas card every year
because he looks terrifying. So they are always towards the
bottom because I'm like, I can't have people being scared
looking at my fridge.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
A cute little magnets up.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, speak of holidays, you know, there's still a couple
of holiday parties and definitely holiday gatherings and New Year's
I've got foods that will boost your mood. So foods
that you can eat over the holidays that will boost
your mood and your mental health, and I'll cover those
for you next on. You can't make this stuff up.
If you want to be in a better mood. There
(14:28):
are foods that you should eat, and you can eat
these year round, or you can do them all over
that I would just eat them during the holidays this
time be burger fries with bacon, bacon on the burger,
extra cheese. Carson and Susan went to the five eight
Club yesterday and because they have Juicy Lucy's there, and
they said it was so crowded. I said, yeah, it's
the five eight club, right, and people are always Christmas week,
(14:49):
it's always crowded.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So here are things that you should eat to make
your mood better, and here we go. Fatty fish like salmon, sardines,
and mackerel are full of things that help your brain membranes,
improving fluidity and communication between neurons. That's a joke. As
(15:12):
a joke, shut up. But fermented foods like yogurt produce
a healthy gut microbiome, which I think is the word,
which communicates with the brain and it can influence mood regulations.
So if you're kind of like in a crap mood,
have some yogurt, pumpkin seeds. They're rich in magnesium that
(15:37):
helps brain function and mood. You can also take magnesium
supplements that I do every morning, and that's one of
the reasons I am so sharpened on my game every day.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Somebody will wind them up. Goodness all right.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Other things like dark chocolate, blueberries, nuts, seeds, apples, red onions,
and herbs.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Herbs.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
A lot of people say it wrong. It's not herb,
it's herbs like peppermint.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I can't wait for the text to start coming in. Yeah,
about how annoying you are.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
We're all one, we're all on. Came out already, Bailey
and I got a new joke.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You ready, Yeah, Dave, what do you think about my
new sweater?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's a little more baggy than I needed to be,
but otherwise I hate it.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
To Okay, Dave, I did my eye makeup really pretty today.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
What do you think about it?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It's got a little bit more blue than I personally
would like, but otherwise I hate it. Try one more,
one more.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
One more, Hey, Dave, what do you think about my
blue nail polish?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Ah? Yeah, it's a little more glossy than I would like,
but otherwise I hate it. Yeah, it's our new bit.
That's the bit we're gonna drive into the ground in
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
You already did in twenty twenty five. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So there's some food that you should stay away from.
Sugar and refrying grains and anything that is processed, processed, processed.
That's why they say eat clean, Like if it's just
chicken like Chipotle. I'm not here to plug Chipotle, but
if they're being honest, it's a pretty clean food. Because
it's chicken, it's beans, it's rice. There's no process. I'll
(17:21):
give you a bad one to eat kranles. God, they're
so good, I know that. But that's the thing, is
their process to make you taste them taste so good
that you want to eat more and more and more.
But once you just can't start that, and that's the problem.
But if you're eating regular, clean foods, they're better for
you and they will make your mind your brain a
little more healthy and happy.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
But are also the only chip that doesn't sell you air.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, that's true. True, the whole thing was just nice.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
True.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Speaking of fish, when I was in spa fish fish.
When I was in we were talking about fish. Earlier,
when I was in Disney, I had swordfish for the
first time.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Isn't it good?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
It was so good, so good, and I thought swordfish,
and my mom said, if you don't get the swordfish today,
you will likely not have an opportunity to eat swordfish
again for a long time. So it's like really rare
to like be able to order sortfish, like, guess this.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Is that serve seafood don't have swordfish unless you're like
at a were you said a nicer rush.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I was gonna say, it's the ocean's been kind of
picked clean of swordfish, hasn't it. Yeah, they're all gone,
and I'm not not I think true. It's like the
ocean has been kind of picked clean of swordfish. There's
not that in Chilean sea bass.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
It was so good.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Don't order Chilean sea bass because the ocean has been
picked clean of Chilean sea bass. And I'm not trying
to be funny. I've read that somewhere. Hayley, What do
you think about my shirt? I get a Christmas shirt on?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Well, I mean it's it's a little more gaudy than
I would have normally liked, but other than that, I
hate it. That's funnier when Bailey did it. It's the delivery.
Thank you, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I know that.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Like you asked me earlier about your hair, and I
do think wondering what did you think about it?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Really cute and like curled and everything, and I mean
maybe it's a little too bouncy for my liking, but
other than that, I hate it.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Bit it's a good bit.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Okay. That is the dirt brought to you by the
Leo Agency. One final shout out of the year to
the Leo Agency, a big, generous, very generous ten thousand
dollars donation to kdwb's Christmas Wish And if you didn't
hear it, we did our last wish about an hour ago,
and just so many thank you was Treasure Island Resort
and Casino and the Prairie Island Indian community and also
(19:37):
Holiday station stores and just so many other people that
we just really could not have done Christmas Wish without this.
Somber on one O one point three KDWB a couple
of classic bits that we do on the Dave Ryan Show.
One of them is around Christmas time. It is the
Little Airhorn Boy, and maybe you've heard it before, maybe
(19:58):
you've heard it this year, but get a lot of
requests for it, so for the final time in twenty
twenty five and maybe the final time ever. You never know.
Sometimes you ever hear this thing. It's like you do
something for the last time and you don't even know it. Yeah,
like you go outside to play with your friends for
the last time and you never even know it.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
That always depresses me, though, so I don't usually think
about my life like that, about that either.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You go you go, you go to you know, the
trampoline park or the roller rink with your friends for
the last time and you never even know it.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Very depressing, super depressed.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Used to be that person in my senior year of
high school with my friends, like, yeah, the last time
we're doing this is and everyone and then they just
like make fun of me and be like Jenny, oh,
this is the last time we're gonna have bonfire together.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
And I was like, it is so like we're all
leaving for adult life.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I mean, we love nostalgia. I love TikTok nostalgia.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
I watched yesterday it was the old McDonald's in all
of America and now it's not there anymore. Watch like
how it shut down. I think it's twenty fifteen. Now
that's a Popeyes. Do you realize I think that's what
that's exactly where that used to be. Somebody correct me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Well, that's an another one think about. You might go
into your favorite restaurant for the last time and you
don't know it's the last time, and then you drive
by it's like, oh my god, they closed it down.
Oh yeah, so it could be the last time. That
you hear the little air horn Boy on Katie WB.
You've heard the touching Christmas story of the little drummer Boy,
(21:19):
a boy who traveled to see the Baby Jesus and
showed his adoration by playing his drum. But there's a
story of another little boy that has been lost to
the mists of time until now. The story of the
little airhorn Boy.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Excuse me, sir? Is that the Christ Child?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Why, yes it is?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And all you kings have you come to worship him?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And I see you brought him expensive gifts?
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yes, did you bring the Baby Jesus a gift?
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Young man?
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Well no, I didn't have any money for a gift,
so I brought him this.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Little air horn blow? What the little air horn bloe?
I thought if I played this, maybe he'd smile at
me or something.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
You pissed off? Mary?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Hey, Hey, who blew the air horn? It's me, the
little air horn bloe. Air horn boy? Are you me?
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Give me that thing?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But I don't have any money for a gift, so
I wanted to play this for Jesus Christ.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
I said, give me that damn airhorn before I shove
it up your the The hell, are you coming in
here waking up the.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Baby Jesus, he's got morfle colic. I'd just gotten to
sleep and then you wake him up with a air horn.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
But I just want to Hey, give me back my airhorn.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Lady, Now get out of here before I call the cops.
I can't believe the nerve coming by. What's next a
visit from a little trombone boy, little friar cracker boy.
Have you guys let anywhere? Idiots?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
And so the little airhorn boy went on his way
with love in his heart, feeling the true spirit of
that first Christmas history has long forgotten his story with
a little airhorn boy. Okay, Hi, it's Katie. Would you
be on the Dave Rian of the Morning Show last
time for the little airhorn boy? Maybe maybe let's do
(23:15):
Dave's dirt, Not for the last time on Katie WB Jenny.
What is on the dirt today?
Speaker 8 (23:20):
What's happening on the dirt is the fact that apparently
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are still hanging out. They
were seen shopping together for Christmas with one of Ben's sons, Samuel,
who's thirteen in la which.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Is interesting because it's like.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
They had their run twice in their relationship, so it's
kind of interesting. And I know that they worked on
a movie together, and it seems like they don't have
any bad blood towards each other from like interviews and
press stuff that they've done.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So I just thought that was.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Interesting and it's nice to see like a Hollywood couple
that doesn't hate each other, because I feel like the
most Hollywood couples break up and they're like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I will never talk to you again.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
I kind of think of that with Joe Jonas and
Sophie Turner, like those two seem to you know, they've
got a kid together.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Like get along.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
But yeah, Chrissy Teagan knocked out one of her dental
veneers with a candy cane.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Working on candy came growing trying to open one of
these bad.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Boys just fell off. I have the whole piece. This
is what longs do for their kids, and.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
It looks it looks pretty pretty po donkey. She put
it on Instagram and the caption is Mary Christmas.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Chris, that is Mary Christmas.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I like it. Oh wait, I gotta turn vice button No.
One three two one.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Vont you know I've worked here two and a half
years a buddy, well.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
He's just.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Figuring this thing out here.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Gay and Modarazzo, who's one of the stars of Stranger Things,
he uh is the dressing. Some of the fan theories
about the finale. Fan theories on line that are shows
like have you seen any figured it out?
Speaker 9 (24:59):
There are some shockingly adjacent ones I can say where
most of the time, anytime there's a little bit of
truth in the theory, it shows up when there's like
they'll get something right in a grand scheme of a
lot of it being wrong, but like one weird detail
will be like right on the money, and that's fun
to find.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
So obviously a lot of people are trying to guess
what happens.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
The part two of the final season drops tomorrow, and
then the series finale, over two hours long, happens on
New Year's Eve.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, and all the other episodes are like over an
hour each, for sure.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Here's good news. So an Amazon driver was thanked with
a gift by a homeowner caught him on camera returning
twenty dollars found outside of their home'll making a delivery.
So Monica says she just wanted to thank Amazon. The
driver Connor for reminding her that good people do exist.
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I just wanted to thank him for reminding me that
people like him do exist.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
His honest integrity was so innocent and natural, and it
couldn't have been a more authentic interaction between.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
The two of us.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I mean, that's great.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
It was only twenty dollars, but he figured, you know,
somebody dropped that twenty dollars, maybe they really need it,
so he turned it in and she gave him a
reward for it. Hey, that's great news.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Kim Kardashian and her kids are just like you and
your kids trying to get a photo, which is where
Kim's trying to smile with all four of her kids
and most of them will not cooperate with her. I
think it was Saint. He's the second oldest one. She
has four kids with Kanye. Saint was just like not
having it. He did the whole like kind of well,
he's not gen Z. I don't know what is that
gen Alpha jelfoy. He just was like staring at the camera,
(26:35):
pissed off, like a few feet away. Kim's trying to
put her arms around everyone, and that's how my nephew
is I have to bribe him to get pictures with me.
Usually I can get him to take pictures with me,
but most other people he will not do it. For
I don't know, there's something about me that I'll be like,
come on, hit over here these, thank you there.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
I have a list here of holiday movies that are
set in Minnesota if you need to have some things
to watch in the Twin Cities. We got Jingle all
the Way, Northfield Love Always Santa.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Oh, I never heard of that one neither but in.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Northfield, older or no or I don't know. Compassed on
my list.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
One that's set in do Luth is called Mary Kiss Cam,
one in another in Duluth Christmas break In, and another
in du Luth Rescuing Christmas. So three in Duluth, one
in Northfield, and one in the Twin Cities usual.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It's a shame then we don't know. I mean, we
know Jingle all the Way and really that's about it,
and it's kind of a mid movie. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I know, I'm gonna say I've never seen it.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
I wonder if anyone listening has been in any of
those movies as like an extra, Yes, I wonder if
you were in any of those really hallmarky sounding homemark
I think most of them are kind of hallmarky.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Alvey Rodrigo and her boyfriend Louis or Louis Partridge have
reportedly broken up after two years of dating. Uh, they
were together, and Olivia Rodrigo went to Lily Allen's holiday
party and she just broke down and was talking to
I guess Lily and a couple of her friends there.
She said it has not been the easiest few weeks,
but they decided it is better for them to be separate,
which means the album we're getting Olivia Rodirigo in spring,
(28:01):
it's gonna be so good, so much heart breaking emotion
in it.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, tatter Swift is gushing over Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
My friend Sabrina is coming tonight.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
She was the opening act like six months ago, but
since then her career has skyrocketed. She's had the biggest
song of the year. She put it on an arena
tour on sale. It's sold out in like two seconds.
I look up her tour schedule. She's got like a
show yesterday, on a show tomorrow in different states, And
I was like, is this like child abuse for me
to even ask her to perform on her one day off?
Speaker 5 (28:29):
I know she's like twenty five, so that's.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
So a little down.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But bl minsen though, So you can't sleep baby, I
know that's the metwhistle.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I can't or do we go?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Oh yeah, do the chord progressions? I want you on
stage for a million years. Sabrina is just like a
shooting star. She's just like battling herself for number one
on the charts all summer, and when you see that happen,
you're just like, go fly higher.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
The Kansas City Chiefs announced last night that they're going
to be leaving Arrowhead Stadium, which they've been with Dave
since what the sixties, I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
The Chief's been around since the sixties. They've been an
Arrowhead Stadium since the sixties. And even after all the
reconstruction of modification and modernization, they still kept their iconic
oval scoreboard, which it's still an oval scoreboard, but now
it's all like digital electronic, that type of thing. But
it used to be like a manual scoreboard, like a
(29:37):
guy would sit up there with like numbers and he
would place them in there right, and they still have
the Oval scoreboard. But Arrowhead Stadium is going to be
sadly abandoned.
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Yeah, not for a handful of years though, because they're
moving over to Kansas right across the state line for
a three billion domed stadium that is going to be
being built, but not till twenty thirty one, so you
still have plenty of time if you try to get
to Arrowhead before they're not playing that.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I love football teams that still play out in the
elements because like the Packers still like you know, like
once a year you'll see like a snowy game, or
the Patriots they'll play in a snowy game. Viking's cushy, cushy,
warm warm. But the Denver Broncos still playing in an
open stadium, so once a year you get a snowy game.
It's just very cool to see that.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
I have to say, even if you hate the Packers,
experiencing Lambeau is such a moment if you love the NFL,
like I just highly recommend going there and tailgating and
experience it on the bleacher seats where your butt's freezing well.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And I think that's probably the oldest NFL stadium that
is still active. I mean they again, they've modernized it
several times they have, but it's still it's the same location,
same field, lambeau Field. I got one more. I got
one more. Which side of the foil when you use
aluminum foil, like Reynolds rap aluminum foil, which side should
(30:55):
you use? There's a shiny side and a dull side.
Reynolds finally clears up the mystery. They say number one,
either side works, just five. It's true. However, they do
say the dull side is nonstick. So if you're wrapping
(31:17):
around a chicken breast or whatever and you want to
open it, use the dull side for non stick. And
you can basically use it for baking, roasting, and broiling,
and then parchment paper for cooking at four twenty or lower,
because paper bursts into flames at what temperature anybody? Anybody
(31:37):
in thousand degrees?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Three hundred, no, no, like no.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Four to fifty one is in the ray breadbury because
that is the temperature that books burn a fahrenheit four
fifty one.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Exactly when I say one thousand degrees, it does burn
at a thousand degrees.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Well, that's a good that's a good point, Bailey.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Guess yes, I got Bailey.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
What do you think I'm wearing my new Christmas shirt?
What do you think about my new Christmas shirt?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Well, I mean it's a little bit like gaudier than
I would prefer it to be, But other than that,
I hate it.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's our new joke.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
We'll be back with a Christmas wish and Jenny's been
on Reddit. More Christmas music coming up on ca
Had a request for a little Christmas time story. My
wife Susan never went to church, never went to Sunday
school or vacation Bible School. She does not know the
Christmas story, but she's heard little bits and nibs and
nabs Theosmoses.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So here is my.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Wife Susan's version as she knows it of the Christmas story.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
So here's the story of Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
There was a king and he had a big city.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Named Bethlehem, and there were these two married couples. Are
one married couple, Mary and God, and the king Ooh
was celebrating the city's big festival. And Mary and God
found out that day at the celebration that she was pregnant.
(01:01):
She wasn't too happy because she was really crabby, and
God knew it too, But they went ahead and went
to the big festival that.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
The king was having.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And that night they were done with the celebration, and
they thought they had a room at a hotel, but
there wasn't any, so they found this barn and.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
People from the celebration.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
The three kings went to the barn too because they
heard that Mary had this baby, and they brought gifts
to the baby.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Some of them brought.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
A basket of fruit, another person brought a block of gold,
and the third person brought a baby blanket with the
name Jesus. On that night she had her baby, and
from that point forward, the King changed the celebration to Christmas,
(01:58):
and everybody celeb righted and burnt through that.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Baby from then on.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And that is my wife, Susan's version of the Christmas
story as she knows it. I love the baby blanket
that has the word Jesus on it. We are going
to church on Christmas Eve. We're going to Westwood Church
out and chan happening. It is Pastor Joel's I believe,
his last Christmas services. Now you're going, how should I know?
(02:27):
Pastor Joel? He was the one who married Kim Kardashian
and that Wolves player what was his name, Chris?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Thank you? I never knew that.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, he actually so. Pastor Joel is kind of a legend,
and he's so great. He's like, you know, yes, he's
like a man of God and all that, but he's
also he's just a great motivational speaker. So even if
you weren't a Christian, you go watch plant Pastor Joel
and you walk out of there going, yeah, wow, I
feel real relaxed.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I feel right now. I feel real inspired right now.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So we're gonna do that. But here's what really, Pastor Joel,
I'm mad because here's what happened. Last year. You make
a reservation to go to Westwood because they they sell out,
I mean, they don't sell tickets, but it's it's it's packed.
So you say, I'm going to come to the seven
o'clock services or whatever. And we got there and it
(03:19):
was full. It was full even though we had made
a reservation. And so we've got we got banished to
the secondary Sanctuary, which is down the hall, and it's
a beautiful sanctuary, nothing wrong with it, but you don't
get the band, and you don't get Pastor Joel, you
get a video screen. And so this year, so we
(03:39):
were we weren't bummed, but we were a little bit
bummed because we want to be in there with the
choir and the and the music and the bass and
the saxophone, like you're secondhand church. You're get secondhand church.
But it was better than nothing. We still felt the
spirit of the Lord amen. So but but this year
we made reservations and we actually saved seats for us,
(04:02):
because these people just are they're getting under my skin
that they're rushing in there and taking up seats when
we should get in there because we made reservation.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You should get in there.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Yeah, oh really, Yeah, I hope that your reservation is
for the overflow.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Room once again this year?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Why would you?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Because what day is you're going on? Christmas?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Christmas Eve?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Christmas Eve? Great? What other day do you go to church? David?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
The silence is deafening. The silence is deafening. You deserve
the overflow room. That's where all you creasts go.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
So I was over here. I didn't know if anybody
else knew that term. You are definitely as.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I've never heard of that. It's Christmas Easter.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Yeah, this is the only times you go to church
Christmas Easter, maybe Mother's Day for your mom.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yes, because that's when the Lord calls me to church.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
The only two days. It's in Sunday, the Holy Day.
Shouldn't the Lord be calling you on the holiday.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
The Lord calls me to church on Christmas Eve?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
About ash Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Doesn't say anything about Wednesday? That no, no, no, The Lord
calls me to church on Christmas eve you're gonna show
there should be a space for me. I don't want
to sit in the overflow. The overflow doesn't suck.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Well, maybe you just show up more often, show your
face that way the congregation.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
That would do any good, because then I'd be mad
that the chreasters are taking up the seats in the
main saying.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
The congregation will know you because you show your face
more than once, maybe.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Twice a year each They don't know each other.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
They know you more than once or twice a year,
and they'll be like, oh, Dave and Susan, Okay, we
can We'll make it.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
He gets them in.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
This is why I'm worried about if I went to
church more often. You know what would happen? Hey, Dave,
you want to teach Sunday school?
Speaker 7 (05:40):
Nobody would ever ask you to anything about the Lord.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I would be a great Sunday school teacher.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
No, you want you're going to teach Sunday school?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Dave?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's no, David, Oh that's so good. What age group
or would they have me be in charge of youth group? Yeah,
you're going overnight up the loots and we're gonna take
a bust load of ninth graders up the look.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
No that sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
God, it does not sound fun. Oh, David and suits
are gonna chaperone the trip to the Zi.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
No, we're not.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That's why I can't go to church more often. If
I were supposed to, the Lord would call me more
to church.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeahrty, but he only calls you on Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
On Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And the Eastern you disgussed me.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I discussed you with everybody that I know, and they
all said, you're disgusting. What that's what I said.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
It's Jenny the Dave Ryan Show on Katie w B.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
We are just wondering, why are you on the naughty
list or why are you on the nice list? What
did you do that you're on the naughty list. Maybe
you went out and bought in nineteen ninety seven Mazda
Miata without asking your partner whether you could or not.
Now you're on the naughty list. Maybe you ordered the
present that he was supposed to get you and it
(06:53):
came in the mail yesterday and you all put it
in front of him and he's like, I got one
of those for you for Christmas. Ah, you're on the
naughty list. Or maybe you chaperone your kids ski trip
to a spirit mountain. You're on the nice list.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Nice list?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, and what have you done that you're on the
naughty list or on the nice list.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Well, I'm clearly on the nice list, Dave, because I
joined my church choir this year to sing about the
lort and spend time with my mommy.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
So okay, I'm on the nice list. Okay.
Speaker 8 (07:22):
I think I'm also on the nice list only because
I feel like I had so many friends that were
really good at being there for me through a tough
view that I had, so I tried to reciprocate that
even if I was having a hard time, because I've
had friends who have had really tough years too.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
So you're a good friend. So here in the nice list, David,
not your nice.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Probably on the naughty list because I'm a turd of
a person. Most people they say hi to me, then
I turn to walk away, they go, what a turd
he is? Yeah, so I would say, probably I'm on
the I'm on the I'm on the bad not the
naughty list.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I'm a borderline because I've started the pot so many
times this year. Man talking about that, I talk on
speakerphone in public or uh, do too many sprays of cologne.
But then I took my girlfriend out for her birthday
and she loved it, so that evens the plane.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
You made her pay for it, you made I took
hers Linse.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
We we did ask some people on Facebook if they
are on the naughty of your nice list, and Melissa said,
my three year old put me on the naughty list
because my muscles are small, and also I am the
parent that goes to the gym. Canoe said, I'm on
the nice list because I became a mom, so that's cute.
David David, he's on a naughty list because his sister
(08:36):
asked him to pick up his six year old niece
one day from school, let her play on the playground
for a while before telling her we had to leave,
and she yelled.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
You're mean.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You'll never be a princess who naughty list too? I guess.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Wow, Okay, what about you? Are you on the naughty
list or on the nice list? Tell me what you
did that was naughty, or maybe tell me what you
did that was really nice. Use the top back feature.
We'll see if we get some here and have some
fun with this talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Tap
the red microphone and tell us your name and why
you're on the naughty list or on the nice list,
and we'll play some of those back in just a second.
(09:13):
On KDWB. Are you on the naughty list or on
the nice list and tell us why use a talkback
or you can text it in at KDWB one five three,
nine to two one. Here's one. I'm on the nice list.
I'm in volunteering at the Animal Humane Society every other week,
and I take my dog to visit residents at the
nursing home once a month. That is, you are on
(09:35):
the nice list. I am on the nice list going
into twenty twenty six. I'm going on a surrogate journey.
That must mean that they are going to be the
surrogate mama.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:44):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I am on the nice list because with my tattooed
mentor was out of town for a week. I painted
the bathroom, cleaned the entire shop that is very nice,
took out the trash, wash the shop floor.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Okay, so says I don't know if this is naughty
or nice, but I dump my loser boyfriend last week,
and I feel like it's naughty because it's so close
to Christmas.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
But man, does it feel nice save some money? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Right, truly another one. I'm on the nice list this
year because I spent all year taking care of ungrateful
and mean patients in their families and not once said
the things that I was actually thinking at the time. Lucas,
thank you for doing what you do. Do you have
any talk?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Packs?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
No, no talks. People are busy on.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Vacation already, they're busy shopping.
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I know, right, I still have to buy one more present.
So my sister's spouse, I don't really know anything about them.
They don't really speak, so I always wait until the
very last second, and then I just kind of throw
in extra gifts for my niece Josephine, and then I'm
just like, here you go, it's family gift.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
I did the whole thing where my older sister, she's
always the one who's responsible with me and my sisters
to get the gifts for our parents. It's like the
one thing I allow someone else in my life to
take charge of. And this year she's like, I'm swamp, Jenny,
can you buy this gift card for Dad? And I go,
of course, so I buy it and then what does
it do. It sets up an account which has my address,
and then it says, all right, the gift card will
be shipped to your address. Meanwhile, I'm about to jet
(11:13):
back to Wisconsin. No, it was not the best choice
to have me buy the gift card that now we
will not have a present to physically give our dad
on Christmas.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I take a picture of it.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Question, can I ask you a question? I know, Jenny
that you hang your Christmas cards on the refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I do.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Did you hang my Christmas card on your refrigerator?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I did?
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Yeah. I mean it doesn't really have a prominent spot.
It's kind of like purds the bottom, but it's there
because I kind of like decide which ones I want to,
like have my eyesight see, yeah, yeah, yeah, And yours
was a little bit of an eye sore since you
couldn't even have a real picture.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It was an AI.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
But I normally put more of my favorite people towards
the top, so you know, like my sister and my
niece and nephew, and so you put.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
The people that you love more up at the top.
I'm down near the bottom by the great the air intake.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Great, yeah, you were like when I watch dogs, their
dog hair gets on it because they were past it.
That's kind of the spot that you have. I did
put vond in Alyssa's cart up too. They're more towards
the top because more effort. It's a real photo.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's very cute. Shout out. My friend's cameon, Zander.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
They got married this year, so I got a beautiful
photo of them from their wedding day towards the top.
But yeah, you know, I think everyone does that, right.
You put your Christmas cards, the ones you like more
towards the top.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Of your fridge.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
I put mine on the side because that's where the
little counter is, so I can look at the people
that I like the most right on the side of
my as I'm like preparing stuff.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
I think without thinking about it now that like I'm
looking at my fridge in my head, there's definitely like
a wedding invitation that we don't have any intention on
going to at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
More important top.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, I guess so unintentionally, I just kind of randomly
placed mine everywhere. I mean, I get ones from people
that I barely know. It's like, oh, I'm surprised you
even still to send me a Christmas card. I slap
it up on the fridge because I figure that's a
showing of It's kind of like on your birthday. How
many people wish you happy birthday on Facebook? You count
him up and you go, four hundred and twenty people
like me. That's a lot. I'd get about fifteen fifteen
(13:13):
people like me this year. TA get about you know,
forty Christmas cards on the fridge. I'm like, oh, forty
people like me this year?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Yeah, big is your fridge.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's a huge fridge.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I overlap, overlap.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Yeah, you're saying, oh, I'm shocked that they even gave
me a card. If you if you're shocked that they
even gave you a hot card, that's an instant bottom
of the fridge situation to me.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
I get you.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, I just kind of put him wherever. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
No, I put my favorites at the top. And I
also I love my cousin. Don't get me wrong, but
she sends a card every year to me of her
kids and her husband. Her husband's in the army. He
looks like he wants to murder someone in the photos
every year.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
That's the kind of person you want in the Army.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
He's one of the nicest people I've ever met. I
will say that, but the man doesn't know how to
smile for a photo. Every time I wait to see
what he looks like in the Christmas card every year
because he looks terrifying. So they are always towards the
bottom because I'm like, I can't have people being scared
looking at my fridge.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
A cute little magnets up.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, speak of holidays, you know, there's still a couple
of holiday parties and definitely holiday gatherings and New Year's
I've got foods that will boost your mood. So foods
that you can eat over the holidays that will boost
your mood and your mental health, and I'll cover those
for you next on. You can't make this stuff up.
If you want to be in a better mood. There
(14:28):
are foods that you should eat, and you can eat
these year round, or you can do them all over
that I would just eat them during the holidays this
time be burger fries with bacon, bacon on the burger,
extra cheese. Carson and Susan went to the five eight
Club yesterday and because they have Juicy Lucy's there, and
they said it was so crowded. I said, yeah, it's
the five eight club, right, and people are always Christmas week,
(14:49):
it's always crowded.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So here are things that you should eat to make
your mood better, and here we go. Fatty fish like salmon, sardines,
and mackerel are full of things that help your brain membranes,
improving fluidity and communication between neurons. That's a joke. As
(15:12):
a joke, shut up. But fermented foods like yogurt produce
a healthy gut microbiome, which I think is the word,
which communicates with the brain and it can influence mood regulations.
So if you're kind of like in a crap mood,
have some yogurt, pumpkin seeds. They're rich in magnesium that
(15:37):
helps brain function and mood. You can also take magnesium
supplements that I do every morning, and that's one of
the reasons I am so sharpened on my game every day.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Somebody will wind them up. Goodness all right.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Other things like dark chocolate, blueberries, nuts, seeds, apples, red onions,
and herbs.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Herbs.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
A lot of people say it wrong. It's not herb,
it's herbs like peppermint.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I can't wait for the text to start coming in. Yeah,
about how annoying you are.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
We're all one, we're all on. Came out already, Bailey
and I got a new joke.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
You ready, Yeah, Dave, what do you think about my
new sweater?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's a little more baggy than I needed to be,
but otherwise I hate it.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
To Okay, Dave, I did my eye makeup really pretty today.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
What do you think about it?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It's got a little bit more blue than I personally
would like, but otherwise I hate it. Try one more,
one more.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
One more, Hey, Dave, what do you think about my
blue nail polish?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Ah? Yeah, it's a little more glossy than I would like,
but otherwise I hate it. Yeah, it's our new bit.
That's the bit we're gonna drive into the ground in
twenty twenty six.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
You already did in twenty twenty five. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
So there's some food that you should stay away from.
Sugar and refrying grains and anything that is processed, processed, processed.
That's why they say eat clean, Like if it's just
chicken like Chipotle. I'm not here to plug Chipotle, but
if they're being honest, it's a pretty clean food. Because
it's chicken, it's beans, it's rice. There's no process. I'll
(17:21):
give you a bad one to eat kranles. God, they're
so good, I know that. But that's the thing, is
their process to make you taste them taste so good
that you want to eat more and more and more.
But once you just can't start that, and that's the problem.
But if you're eating regular, clean foods, they're better for
you and they will make your mind your brain a
little more healthy and happy.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
But are also the only chip that doesn't sell you air.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, that's true. True, the whole thing was just nice.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
True.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Speaking of fish, when I was in spa fish fish.
When I was in we were talking about fish. Earlier,
when I was in Disney, I had swordfish for the
first time.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Isn't it good?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
It was so good, so good, and I thought swordfish,
and my mom said, if you don't get the swordfish today,
you will likely not have an opportunity to eat swordfish
again for a long time. So it's like really rare
to like be able to order sortfish, like, guess this.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Is that serve seafood don't have swordfish unless you're like
at a were you said a nicer rush.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I was gonna say, it's the ocean's been kind of
picked clean of swordfish, hasn't it. Yeah, they're all gone,
and I'm not not I think true. It's like the
ocean has been kind of picked clean of swordfish. There's
not that in Chilean sea bass.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
It was so good.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Don't order Chilean sea bass because the ocean has been
picked clean of Chilean sea bass. And I'm not trying
to be funny. I've read that somewhere. Hayley, What do
you think about my shirt? I get a Christmas shirt on?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Well, I mean it's it's a little more gaudy than
I would have normally liked, but other than that, I
hate it. That's funnier when Bailey did it. It's the delivery.
Thank you, Jenny.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I know that.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Like you asked me earlier about your hair, and I
do think wondering what did you think about it?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, it's like.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Really cute and like curled and everything, and I mean
maybe it's a little too bouncy for my liking, but
other than that, I hate it.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Bit it's a good bit.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Okay. That is the dirt brought to you by the
Leo Agency. One final shout out of the year to
the Leo Agency, a big, generous, very generous ten thousand
dollars donation to kdwb's Christmas Wish And if you didn't
hear it, we did our last wish about an hour ago,
and just so many thank you was Treasure Island Resort
and Casino and the Prairie Island Indian community and also
(19:37):
Holiday station stores and just so many other people that
we just really could not have done Christmas Wish without this.
Somber on one O one point three KDWB a couple
of classic bits that we do on the Dave Ryan Show.
One of them is around Christmas time. It is the
Little Airhorn Boy, and maybe you've heard it before, maybe
(19:58):
you've heard it this year, but get a lot of
requests for it, so for the final time in twenty
twenty five and maybe the final time ever. You never know.
Sometimes you ever hear this thing. It's like you do
something for the last time and you don't even know it. Yeah,
like you go outside to play with your friends for
the last time and you never even know it.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
That always depresses me, though, so I don't usually think
about my life like that, about that either.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You go you go, you go to you know, the
trampoline park or the roller rink with your friends for
the last time and you never even know it.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Very depressing, super depressed.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Used to be that person in my senior year of
high school with my friends, like, yeah, the last time
we're doing this is and everyone and then they just
like make fun of me and be like Jenny, oh,
this is the last time we're gonna have bonfire together.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
And I was like, it is so like we're all
leaving for adult life.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I mean, we love nostalgia. I love TikTok nostalgia.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
I watched yesterday it was the old McDonald's in all
of America and now it's not there anymore. Watch like
how it shut down. I think it's twenty fifteen. Now
that's a Popeyes. Do you realize I think that's what
that's exactly where that used to be. Somebody correct me
if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Well, that's an another one think about. You might go
into your favorite restaurant for the last time and you
don't know it's the last time, and then you drive
by it's like, oh my god, they closed it down.
Oh yeah, so it could be the last time. That
you hear the little air horn Boy on Katie WB.
You've heard the touching Christmas story of the little drummer Boy,
(21:19):
a boy who traveled to see the Baby Jesus and
showed his adoration by playing his drum. But there's a
story of another little boy that has been lost to
the mists of time until now. The story of the
little airhorn Boy.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Excuse me, sir? Is that the Christ Child?
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Why, yes it is?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And all you kings have you come to worship him?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
That's right?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And I see you brought him expensive gifts?
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Well?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yes, did you bring the Baby Jesus a gift?
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Young man?
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Well no, I didn't have any money for a gift,
so I brought him this.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Little air horn blow? What the little air horn bloe?
I thought if I played this, maybe he'd smile at
me or something.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
You pissed off? Mary?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Hey, Hey, who blew the air horn? It's me, the
little air horn bloe. Air horn boy? Are you me?
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Give me that thing?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But I don't have any money for a gift, so
I wanted to play this for Jesus Christ.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
I said, give me that damn airhorn before I shove
it up your the The hell, are you coming in
here waking up the.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Baby Jesus, he's got morfle colic. I'd just gotten to
sleep and then you wake him up with a air horn.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
But I just want to Hey, give me back my airhorn.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Lady, Now get out of here before I call the cops.
I can't believe the nerve coming by. What's next a
visit from a little trombone boy, little friar cracker boy.
Have you guys let anywhere? Idiots?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
And so the little airhorn boy went on his way
with love in his heart, feeling the true spirit of
that first Christmas history has long forgotten his story with
a little airhorn boy. Okay, Hi, it's Katie. Would you
be on the Dave Rian of the Morning Show last
time for the little airhorn boy? Maybe maybe let's do
(23:15):
Dave's dirt, Not for the last time on Katie WB Jenny.
What is on the dirt today?
Speaker 8 (23:20):
What's happening on the dirt is the fact that apparently
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are still hanging out. They
were seen shopping together for Christmas with one of Ben's sons, Samuel,
who's thirteen in la which.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Is interesting because it's like.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
They had their run twice in their relationship, so it's
kind of interesting. And I know that they worked on
a movie together, and it seems like they don't have
any bad blood towards each other from like interviews and
press stuff that they've done.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So I just thought that was.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Interesting and it's nice to see like a Hollywood couple
that doesn't hate each other, because I feel like the
most Hollywood couples break up and they're like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I will never talk to you again.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
I kind of think of that with Joe Jonas and
Sophie Turner, like those two seem to you know, they've
got a kid together.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Like get along.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
But yeah, Chrissy Teagan knocked out one of her dental
veneers with a candy cane.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Working on candy came growing trying to open one of
these bad.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Boys just fell off. I have the whole piece. This
is what longs do for their kids, and.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
It looks it looks pretty pretty po donkey. She put
it on Instagram and the caption is Mary Christmas.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Chris, that is Mary Christmas.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I like it. Oh wait, I gotta turn vice button No.
One three two one.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Vont you know I've worked here two and a half
years a buddy, well.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
He's just.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Figuring this thing out here.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Gay and Modarazzo, who's one of the stars of Stranger Things,
he uh is the dressing. Some of the fan theories
about the finale. Fan theories on line that are shows
like have you seen any figured it out?
Speaker 9 (24:59):
There are some shockingly adjacent ones I can say where
most of the time, anytime there's a little bit of
truth in the theory, it shows up when there's like
they'll get something right in a grand scheme of a
lot of it being wrong, but like one weird detail
will be like right on the money, and that's fun
to find.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
So obviously a lot of people are trying to guess
what happens.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
The part two of the final season drops tomorrow, and
then the series finale, over two hours long, happens on
New Year's Eve.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, and all the other episodes are like over an
hour each, for sure.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Here's good news. So an Amazon driver was thanked with
a gift by a homeowner caught him on camera returning
twenty dollars found outside of their home'll making a delivery.
So Monica says she just wanted to thank Amazon. The
driver Connor for reminding her that good people do exist.
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I just wanted to thank him for reminding me that
people like him do exist.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
His honest integrity was so innocent and natural, and it
couldn't have been a more authentic interaction between.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
The two of us.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I mean, that's great.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
It was only twenty dollars, but he figured, you know,
somebody dropped that twenty dollars, maybe they really need it,
so he turned it in and she gave him a
reward for it. Hey, that's great news.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 8 (26:13):
Kim Kardashian and her kids are just like you and
your kids trying to get a photo, which is where
Kim's trying to smile with all four of her kids
and most of them will not cooperate with her. I
think it was Saint. He's the second oldest one. She
has four kids with Kanye. Saint was just like not
having it. He did the whole like kind of well,
he's not gen Z. I don't know what is that
gen Alpha jelfoy. He just was like staring at the camera,
(26:35):
pissed off, like a few feet away. Kim's trying to
put her arms around everyone, and that's how my nephew
is I have to bribe him to get pictures with me.
Usually I can get him to take pictures with me,
but most other people he will not do it. For
I don't know, there's something about me that I'll be like,
come on, hit over here these, thank you there.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
I have a list here of holiday movies that are
set in Minnesota if you need to have some things
to watch in the Twin Cities. We got Jingle all
the Way, Northfield Love Always Santa.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Oh, I never heard of that one neither but in.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Northfield, older or no or I don't know. Compassed on
my list.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
One that's set in do Luth is called Mary Kiss Cam,
one in another in Duluth Christmas break In, and another
in du Luth Rescuing Christmas. So three in Duluth, one
in Northfield, and one in the Twin Cities usual.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
It's a shame then we don't know. I mean, we
know Jingle all the Way and really that's about it,
and it's kind of a mid movie. It's okay.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I know, I'm gonna say I've never seen it.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
I wonder if anyone listening has been in any of
those movies as like an extra, Yes, I wonder if
you were in any of those really hallmarky sounding homemark
I think most of them are kind of hallmarky.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Alvey Rodrigo and her boyfriend Louis or Louis Partridge have
reportedly broken up after two years of dating. Uh, they
were together, and Olivia Rodrigo went to Lily Allen's holiday
party and she just broke down and was talking to
I guess Lily and a couple of her friends there.
She said it has not been the easiest few weeks,
but they decided it is better for them to be separate,
which means the album we're getting Olivia Rodirigo in spring,
(28:01):
it's gonna be so good, so much heart breaking emotion
in it.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, tatter Swift is gushing over Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
My friend Sabrina is coming tonight.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
She was the opening act like six months ago, but
since then her career has skyrocketed. She's had the biggest
song of the year. She put it on an arena
tour on sale. It's sold out in like two seconds.
I look up her tour schedule. She's got like a
show yesterday, on a show tomorrow in different states, And
I was like, is this like child abuse for me
to even ask her to perform on her one day off?
Speaker 5 (28:29):
I know she's like twenty five, so that's.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
So a little down.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But bl minsen though, So you can't sleep baby, I
know that's the metwhistle.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I can't or do we go?
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Oh yeah, do the chord progressions? I want you on
stage for a million years. Sabrina is just like a
shooting star. She's just like battling herself for number one
on the charts all summer, and when you see that happen,
you're just like, go fly higher.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
The Kansas City Chiefs announced last night that they're going
to be leaving Arrowhead Stadium, which they've been with Dave
since what the sixties, I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
The Chief's been around since the sixties. They've been an
Arrowhead Stadium since the sixties. And even after all the
reconstruction of modification and modernization, they still kept their iconic
oval scoreboard, which it's still an oval scoreboard, but now
it's all like digital electronic, that type of thing. But
it used to be like a manual scoreboard, like a
(29:37):
guy would sit up there with like numbers and he
would place them in there right, and they still have
the Oval scoreboard. But Arrowhead Stadium is going to be
sadly abandoned.
Speaker 8 (29:47):
Yeah, not for a handful of years though, because they're
moving over to Kansas right across the state line for
a three billion domed stadium that is going to be
being built, but not till twenty thirty one, so you
still have plenty of time if you try to get
to Arrowhead before they're not playing that.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I love football teams that still play out in the
elements because like the Packers still like you know, like
once a year you'll see like a snowy game, or
the Patriots they'll play in a snowy game. Viking's cushy, cushy,
warm warm. But the Denver Broncos still playing in an
open stadium, so once a year you get a snowy game.
It's just very cool to see that.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
I have to say, even if you hate the Packers,
experiencing Lambeau is such a moment if you love the NFL,
like I just highly recommend going there and tailgating and
experience it on the bleacher seats where your butt's freezing well.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And I think that's probably the oldest NFL stadium that
is still active. I mean they again, they've modernized it
several times they have, but it's still it's the same location,
same field, lambeau Field. I got one more. I got
one more. Which side of the foil when you use
aluminum foil, like Reynolds rap aluminum foil, which side should
(30:55):
you use? There's a shiny side and a dull side.
Reynolds finally clears up the mystery. They say number one,
either side works, just five. It's true. However, they do
say the dull side is nonstick. So if you're wrapping
(31:17):
around a chicken breast or whatever and you want to
open it, use the dull side for non stick. And
you can basically use it for baking, roasting, and broiling,
and then parchment paper for cooking at four twenty or lower,
because paper bursts into flames at what temperature anybody? Anybody
(31:37):
in thousand degrees?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Three hundred, no, no, like no.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Four to fifty one is in the ray breadbury because
that is the temperature that books burn a fahrenheit four
fifty one.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
Exactly when I say one thousand degrees, it does burn
at a thousand degrees.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Well, that's a good that's a good point, Bailey.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Guess yes, I got Bailey.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
What do you think I'm wearing my new Christmas shirt?
What do you think about my new Christmas shirt?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Well, I mean it's a little bit like gaudier than
I would prefer it to be, But other than that,
I hate it.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's our new joke.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
We'll be back with a Christmas wish and Jenny's been

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
