We have a doctor in the studio, and I was
telling her about my injury. Doctor Allison over here is
an emergency room doc.

Right.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
So on Friday, I was carrying a box through my
house and I wasn't looking where I was going, tripped
over another box, went down hard, and then my I said,
I think I broke my finger. My pinky finger was
all twisted out a joint and kind of bent backwards,
and so my wife says, kids, see if you can
pull it back into place. So I squeezed my pinky finger,

(00:27):
pulled on it, and I felt it slide right back
into place. Is that what you would have done, doctor Allison?
That's exactly what she would have done. How much would
you have charged me for that? Fifteen thousand dollars? No, No,

Pretty good, Austin.

I'm here with a bunch of your co workers from

Doctor Allison is here. Say hid Hi, everybody says Hi.
Would you have any idea why Katie WB and Trish
are calling.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
You this morning? No, what we're about to tell you.
It's good news.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's good news in the in the middle of a
bunch of bad news that you and your family have
been challenged by in the last few months. Trish is
here with a KDWB Christmas wish. I'm going to have Trish,
if you've got a few minutes read the letter about
you and your family, Austin. Have you got a couple
of minutes, Okay, whenever you're ready, Trish.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Right, Hey, Austin, So we did this for you.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
So we work with Austin at Mercy Hospital in the
ed In twenty twenty one, Austin and his wife t
welcome their son, Ezra, who's born with Dollon syndrome. In
twenty twenty two, Austin was diagnosed with kidney cancer, requiring
multiple surgeries in time off of work. His wife Teve
was also diagnosed oftuitary tumor in twenty twenty four, which
affects her vision and is untreautable. Austin and tierralcome their

(04:00):
baby girl, Amelia on September fifteenth, about six weeks premature,
weighing only four pounds eight ounces. Emeilli was born with
a hypoplastic left heart syndrome. This involves the left set
of the heart being underdeveloped, preventing the heart from pumping
blood effectively, which was requiring one to three surgeries. Austin
did not want to start his paternity leave or take
time off of work until Melia came home from the hospital.

(04:22):
Because of this, he continued to work after Amelia was
born and in the necktio, he continued to come to
work with a smile, never complaining. Amelia was finally big
enough on November nineteenth for open heart surgery. Her chest
was closed up on November twenty fifth. Amelia then developed sepsis. Unfortunately,
Amelia went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, December tenth.

(04:44):
Austin has remained strong in his face and continued to
stay positive. He would never know he was having any
hardships because he comes to work every day and cares
for his patience without any hesitation. Austin his family are
so very deserving of this Christmas wish.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Austin, I'm so sorry about the loss of your of
your little girl just a couple of weeks ago, not
even two weeks ago, Little Amelia.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
I'm so sorry about that. You have been challenged by.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Your diagnosis and buy your wife's diagnosis, and little Ezra.
Little Ezra is four years old, right, Yeah, we're here
to make your Christmas just a little bit brighter and
show you some love and support from your family and
your community and your co workers over at Mercy with

(05:42):
what we call a Christmas wish, And we wish we
could just wave our hands and make everything better, but
instead we're going to do something just to hopefully put
a smile on your face and let you know that
you're loved and supported, which I'm going to guess you
probably feel that all like the five of your co
workers came in this morning and to show you their support.
So with Christmas wish, it is things and experiences because

(06:05):
that's our form of showing you love and support.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
So let's start off. Ezra is how old? Four years old?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
We have some things for Ezra, just some things to
put under the tree, a bunch of toys and things
like that if things are a little bit tight this year.
And I don't know your financial situation and it doesn't
really matter, but these are things from us and your
co workers. We've got squish mellows because kids are into
squish mellows. We've got a magnetile set, a ball pit
with a slide. Your living room is going to be

(06:37):
full of things that Ezra has scattered all over the place.
Hot wheels, monster trucks with a racetrack. You think Ezra's
into hot wheels. I sure hope, So I'm sure it
sounds like it. Pop it game, mini basketball, many light
up karaoke machine because we hear Ezra loves music and dancing. Right,

(07:00):
the whole family enjoys this karaoke machine. That'll be kind
of cool. And then we have a oh, this is
bad news, a mini desktop drum set, which sounds horrible
and noisy, but you can always take the batteries out.
But no, this is all just fun stuff for Ezra.
For you, Austin, we heard that you might enjoy.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
This.

(11:05):
one on KDWB. You got to get a shout out
to Treasure Island Resort and Casino. They've done such a
great job of helping us out. They're just such good
people and really, when it comes down to it, it's
run by the Prairie Island Indian community, which are people.
They're just people like us, so you go, well who
runs it. It's like they're just people, and the tribal
council is like, okay, well let's help out. They're just

(11:27):
people and they want to help out, just like you
were people and you want to help out to Holiday
station stores. Also High V big shout out to High
V Broadway Pizza. Fido's Pantry, they're just so nice. They
came to us and they said, hey, if you got
any pets, we'd love to help out. And I said,
oh yeah, a lot of these people have pets, and
the pets are kind of forgotten, you know, and it's like,
you know, you want to spoil your pets. And sometimes

(11:49):
when things are tight and there's you know, financial issues,
you still have to feed your pets. Your dog's in
your catch. So I thought I'd go over there and
get a bag of dog food. There was like a dolly,
like a big cart full of pet food and cat
litter and dog toys and treats.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Like how much was your car hold writing sack? Much?

Speaker 2 (12:06):
So think and remember when you you know, Fido's Pantries
are the corner of seven and forty one in that
big strip mall kind of by the Caribou. So if
you're looking to get dog food, cat food and anything
like that. I bought Bernie a jacket and booties from
over there a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
And I'm sure he loves them.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
It took him a while, but yeah, we do for sure.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
This text message about this Christmas wish said, such a
good family to give this to. My family works with
him at the er. The funeral for their little one
was Friday, just Friday, and here it is Monday, so
your timing's perfect, so you know it's you just can't
even imagine. They lost a little baby, little Amelia, just

(12:47):
just a few days into their life. So just a
hard one. But thanks for all the support. We really
appreciate that. We'll be back with another Christmas wish at
nine o'clock and coming right back. I think Jenny's been
on Reddit. What are we going to talk about?

Speaker 1 (13:01):
On Reddit?

Speaker 7 (13:01):
We can talk about sports that are going extinct?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Oh, sports that are going extinct.

Speaker 7 (13:06):
Yeah, I was playing pickball yesterday and I learned of
a new one that's out there that I had never
heard of.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
I'll tell you guys about it.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Okay, we'll do it next on kd w B Show
on kd w B.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Not true, not true, not true. Bailey has been going
out with this guy. She calls him regular Guy because
he's not Weirdoh, he doesn't wear a bowler on your dates.
Can you imagine your guy shows up and he's wearing
a bowler? What a bowler is?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
I was gonna looky, look it up, look it up?

Speaker 1 (13:31):
A bowler? Yeah, my bowler?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Has he there?

Speaker 8 (13:32):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (13:33):
It's a hat. It's a fun, little jaunty hat. If
a guy, if a.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Guy showed up and he was wearing a bowler, would
you be like, no.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
You know who wears his hat? Alo black celebrity. What's
he saying? He wears this hat? I like a bowler hat.
You're stuck in twenty ten.

Speaker 8 (13:49):
Regular guy does not wear a bowler hat. No, he
wears He did wear a really nice sweater too. Was
my friend's birthday on Friday, and so we went to
dinner and did care okie with my friend and I
invited regular Guy because I was allowed to. And he
wore this really nice sweater and a drunk guy at
the bar, he was like, hey, buddy, it's ugly sweater night,

(14:09):
not sexy sweater night.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
So I was like, yeah, he's wearing a nice sweat.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Now.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
The answer for her yeah maybe yeah, No, I already
got that. I asked her when she came in. I
don't care if I get sued by HR. I said,
could you be pregnant? And she said no, I have
a feeling that I'm not like you, feel like.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
I had.

Speaker 8 (14:34):
He didn't get to meet my cat. I did introduce
him to my cat, and.

Speaker 9 (14:39):
No cat seemed to like him, so that's nice.

Speaker 8 (14:50):
He does.

Speaker 4 (14:50):
He did get to meet my.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Cat, Yeah, that was.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
Animal likes the person.

Speaker 8 (14:58):
He was like, let me sit nearby and just stare
at you, which I feel like is a good sign,
but also maybe it's like a.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
If you slight my mother in any way, I will
cut you. That's what cap said. But he doesn't speak English,
so he said it with his eyes. Okay, all right,
he speak Spanish. Yeah, he actually speaks Spanish.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
My cat, Yeah, I stare at her long enough, she's
going to turn red.

Speaker 7 (15:23):
She won't look at you, and that's what she looks away.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Okay, I'm glad calling hello. I'm actually really happy for you.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
Thank you. You're actually really happy for me.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well, of course I am.

Speaker 9 (15:35):
There.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Actually, this time it's different.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Jenny's been on Reddit.

Speaker 7 (15:44):
We're talking sports that are going to be in extinct
within fifty years at least. This is what Reddit is
speculating over. And I thought of this because I was
playing pickball yesterday and they had some racket racketball is
that what's called it. They had a few of those courts,
but now they have this new game, well not newish,
newish to America. It's like a Spanish sport called paddle
It is the most intense thing. It's a combination of tennis, pickleball,

(16:06):
and racquetball. You go off the walls. It's like fast
case like tennis, but it's kind of the same size
as of a pickleball court. So anyways, first off, people
were saying racketball is definitely disappearing because pickleball is taken over.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
I can see that. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (16:21):
Oh I'm going to say, I remember going to like
La Fitnesses or Lifetimes or wherever, and they'd had so
many racquetball courts and now those are all gone.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
We used to go to Lifetime, the one by under
Target Center, I think it is, and played racketball all
the time, me and Pat Eberts, and no, I haven't played.
Nobody plays that. Handball is another one, and I'm gonna
guess croquet is on the list too.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
What else is on doing that on the list?

Speaker 7 (16:41):
Okay, bullfighting, thank god, because each generation supports it least,
and obviously it clashes with a lot of like values
regarding animals, so that one's definitely starting to disappear. Someone
else said, not NASCAR itself, but maybe like the local
shore track races are going to go away, because I
think about it once. I went to Elko one time,
to their racetrack, and like it was like a cool

(17:01):
experience one time, but like I never need to go back.
It was loud in my ears, Like.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
It is very loud.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
Yes, it's kind of a lot.

Speaker 7 (17:09):
Another person said, like fifteen years ago, when the evidence
started linking CTE to American football, people would like kind
of said the same thing about football. But we all
know that the NFL makes way too much money. They're
never going to stop no matter how many injuries and
how many brain problems.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Well, not only that, I mean the thing of the
feeder system of like you know, Pop Warner, little kid football,
high school football, college football. So they all got to
come from somewhere. And I think it's because football is
and I love football, don't get me wrong. It is
the most glorified sport out there. It's more glorified than
Hockey's close in Minnesota, but it is the most glorified sport.

Speaker 7 (17:49):
I don't know if we've ever had this in the
areas I've lived, but dog racing tracks are kind of disappearing.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
They totally because they're cruel and they killed the dog
when they get too old.

Speaker 7 (17:57):
Yeah, yeez, Yeah, I didn't know.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
I didn't know.

Speaker 7 (18:00):
I don't thought that they usually put them up for like adoption.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
They do, but a lot of them. Yeah, they have.

Speaker 7 (18:04):
Friends that have two greyhounds that are used to be
racist the sweetest things.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Ever.

Speaker 7 (18:10):
Everything else is kind of like really obscure sports that
like I don't know, yeah something, I don't know, what
what did you say?

Speaker 1 (18:17):
High a lot. It's like it's like polo without a horse.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
Oh yeah, pretending to be on a horse, like you
have one of those stick horses.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
You It's a combination of lacrosse, hockey and polo with
no horse.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Okay, well there you go.

Speaker 7 (18:36):
Well that's going to be it for sports that are
going extinct in fifty years.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Jenny's been on the Thank you.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Jenny will be back in a second with an airport
hack that some people on TikTok are saying that you
should try, but you should not try it. What is
this airport hack? I will tell you know this TikTok
hap hack. It is called the airport theory, and some
people are trying it because they want to, you know,
follow the trends on TikTok. I will tell you all

(19:01):
about the airport theory next. Don you can't make this
stuff up. On KATIEWB two earlier this morning, we talked
about a trend that is getting worse called the jetway Jesus,
where people will get in a wheelchair at the gate
of an airplane and be wheeled on, but then all

(19:24):
of a sudden they're miraculously cured when they arrive at
their destination and they stand up and they grab their
carry on and they walk off. And people actually use
this as a hack, and some people say, I do this.
It just feels like a little luxury accommodation. But there's
another thing that's going around on the TikTok called the
airport theory. What is the airport theory? It's from TikTok

(19:46):
and basically it's trying, with varying degrees of luck to
get to the airport's entrance to the departure gate in
fifteen minutes or less. So, in other words, you arrive
at the entrance and your departure to the departure gate,
and you only give yourself fifteen minutes. They say, if
you do it right, you don't need more than fifteen minutes.

(20:07):
I am of the other persuasion. I get there, not
real early, but about ninety minutes early. Yeah, because I
like to go in get through the TSA gate. You
never know how long, because sometimes you get the trainee
at the TSA or you get the old guy from
glen Coe who's never been on an airplane before, and
he's got like, you know, a canteen. And so I

(20:30):
like to get there, and I like to go get
a little snack, and I like to sit there at
the gate and maybe go through the bookstore and buy
a little magazine or something like that.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
But they say it is a bad idea. Do not
try this trend.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
The airport theory because too many people have missed their
flights while trying to do it. What a dumb thing
to experiment with. Hey, you know what, I'm going to
take a risk and do this TikTok trend so I
can put it on the tiktoks and miss my plane.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
And that's the funny part to me.

Speaker 10 (20:58):
Every time I see those tiktoks like watch me go
do this that you only end up proving yourself wrong.
Like then everybody's in the comments like yeah, dummy, hey idiot.

Speaker 8 (21:06):
I also think like, if you haven't traveled in a
long time and you don't really remember how the airports work,
you board your plane thirty minutes before it says you're
taking off. So if your flight is at five am, no,
you have to be there at four thirty am, already
at your gate.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
Yeah they closed the doors by like four.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Or fifteen minutes. Yeah, right exactly.

Speaker 7 (21:28):
I am so the person who waits the last minute
to get on the plane, though, Yeah, no matter what
someone I'm in, especially because well, yeah, if you have
assigned plane, who cares?

Speaker 8 (21:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah? Do we all have a TSA pre check?

Speaker 8 (21:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Maybeither I have clear?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
And clear is you know sometimes it's sometimes the Clear
people will say just go in the pre check or
the regular line. It's faster, but Clear is usually it's
a little bit shorter. It doesn't cost that much.

Speaker 10 (21:50):
I think it's all the same price for every I
think it's maybe fifteen dollars more if you do like
global entry versus Clear.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
I don't know that for a.

Speaker 8 (21:57):
Fact, but I think the regular TSA agents just need
a little bit of like joy and happiness, and that's
what I'm there to bring them.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
When I walk through.

Speaker 10 (22:03):
Melissa's dad, my girlfriend's dad, you know, he's a good
looking man. Bailey has tried to hit on it multiple times.
He went through TSA and there's a woman and she's
yelling at everybody else. She's like, move this over there
till your laptop's out. Then she looks at Alsa's dad
and goes, take your belt off, baby, just talk.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
I'm sure that TSA TSA people.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
It tries their patients because no matter how many times
people know, you're not supposed to take you know, I
don't know a stun gun.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Or a canteen full of.

Speaker 7 (22:33):
Water knives, pocket knives has gotten confiscated.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
David Oh, because I carry a pocket knife everywhere I go,
and a lot of the time I don't remember to
take it out of my pocket. I've lost so many,
probably a half dozen beautiful pocket knives. Some were like
a couple hundred dollars gees and they go, well, you
can go back through and you can take it back
to your car, and I'm like, I don't have time.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (22:54):
So my mom got a plastic knife confiscated from her
on our last trip, and she brought it with her
because she thought, oh, this could we can cut all of.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Our food up and share everything.

Speaker 8 (23:03):
But it was essentially just like a chef knife.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
But it was plastic.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah yeah, yeah, They're like, you can't have oh but
so not one of the ones that you've gone not
a Wendy's not aye, but a plastic real knife.

Speaker 8 (23:14):
She's like, but it's plastic. They're like, yeah, this looks
like it could hurt somebody. Yeah, mayam, Yeah true, throw
it out.

Speaker 11 (23:20):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
That is the you can't make this stuff up. Brought
to you proudly buy the Leo Agency. I will give
them a shout out again for donating ten thousand dollars
to Christmas Wish. We have two more Christmas Wishes to go.
We've been doing these for three weeks, three weeks of
Christmas wishes, and we've loved doing them so much.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Can I read it?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Just a random Christmas card we got, Yes, not a
lot of people send cards, but Scott Andrews of South
Saint Paul sent in a thank you card. Actually, it
says Dave, Jenny Vaunton Bailey, thank you for the tickets
to the Wild game on December eleventh. It was my
first time seeing them play in person and a very
fun experience. Thanks also for the joy you share over
the air waves each day. You guys rock. That is

(23:59):
from Scott's thank you very much. That was very sweet.
We really appreciate that. We'll come back with Dave's Dirt
next on k d WB. Stay here time for the
holiday version of Daves Dirt, brought to you by six
one two. Injured Heimer and Lammer's Injury Log. Got a
text message from a flight attendant from Delta. We're talking
about jetway Jesus, yeah, and how people like use like

(24:21):
the wheelchair, you know whatever to get on the flight early.
And there was one flight out of MSP not too
long ago that I think they said that had thirty
wheelchair passengers thirty, which is kind of ridiculous. They get
to bored earlier and they get a little free, little
push down the ramp. So people actually use that as
a hack and they don't check any paperwork. You don't
have to prove that you can't walk well, and then

(24:43):
you get on, and then you when the plane arrives
at its destination, all of a sudden, Jetway Jesus has
cured you. So this flight attendant for Delta text and
it says Jetway Jesus has become so common that passengers
have been bringing as many Jesus figurines as gifts.

Speaker 11 (24:59):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
What they can do to crack down on that.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
You certainly can't rely on the decency of some people,
because there'll be people like you said when you were
the Disney Bailey that people would like rent a Rascal
scooter so they don't check you to like, okay, get
up and walk.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
I want to see if you can walk or not.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
So people will use it to get not just them,
but their entire family will be cut in front of
the line.

Speaker 8 (25:24):
Yeah, and I think maybe if you just carry around
a doctor's note. But now ai. I guess you can
forge a doctor's note. I don't know's. I definitely would
never say, hey, you do you actually need that wheelchair?

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Get up and walk, because that's awful.

Speaker 8 (25:40):
Of course not, but man, oh man, if it's that
prevalent and like that, they're giving out little little Jesus
figurines being like, hey, thanks for lett me on early,
then what the heck you guys stop being bad people?

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (25:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (25:54):
Tom Brady shared kind of a crypto post over the
weekend after his ex wife Giselle debuted her wedding ring
with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente, who apparently is a jiu
jitsu instructure instructor, which I think is how she knows him.
But he Tom Brady shared a post of him just
like in a white sweatshirt that said forever young on
it and put the words yup in it. But then

(26:15):
the part that was cryptic is he put the logic
song one eight two seven three eight two five five,
which is a suicide prevention number for that logic song,
and it's all about mental health, and like that's what
he put with that picture. So people were kind of like,
is doing okay now that Giselle's like debuting this new

(26:35):
man and whatever you think.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
I think that's hurtful. No matter what your rip, you know,
reason for your breakup is, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
I get it.

Speaker 8 (26:44):
Avatar Fire and Ash sets the box office a fire
three hundred and forty five million dollars for its premiere.
I have a friend who saw it said they were bored,
but I don't know. Maybe it's because it's like a
three hour movie. Really, so p before you go in.
I have all of my friends and maybe this is
niche to me, but all of my friends are talking

(27:04):
about Heated Rivalry, which is a TV show about.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Gay hockey players.

Speaker 7 (27:09):
You've seen the tiktoks about it and people being like,
so when do they kiss?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (27:13):
Are they gonna kiss?

Speaker 7 (27:14):
Yeah, because it's gay hockey players, and they'll like get
in a fight and then well, I don't know what
happens to you.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
Yeah, but like people will take videos of someone out
of hockey game and they're in a fight and they're
like kiss, kid, Kiss. They're like chanting in the stands
because of that movie.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
So yeah, if I'm probably gonna end.

Speaker 10 (27:30):
Up watching that overbreak for sure, I started watching the
Taylor Swift doc that's on Disney Plus daylor Swift is
such an interesting like she knows everything that she wants.

Speaker 7 (27:39):
You know.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
She's sitting there telling her background dancers.

Speaker 10 (27:42):
And the choreographers and I guess the managers ever like
the way that this show is supposed to go, No,
the lights need to go like this, and her and
Ed Sheer and are sitting there like working on a
song because he's gonna pop out, so they're trying to transpose,
which means to change the key, and She's just like, no,
let's try it like this. It's just so crazy, how
meticulous but genius she is. She's got a vision, yeah,

(28:02):
And I don't know how that's born inside of you
to have that, you know much to be able.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
To put on a show like I think some artists
just have that, like Prince had that. Prince was like fashion, design, showmanship,
all of that stuff. And I think Taylor just has
that vision. And I noticed during that documentary that she's like,
and I decided we would do this. I had the
idea to do this, And I'm like, good for you
for saying that was my idea.

Speaker 10 (28:24):
Do you think that Taylor Swift is bigger and then
Britney Spears was when she was like the pop queen.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yes, I'm definitely more respected, for sure because Taylor is
a musician and Britney Spears was a performer.

Speaker 10 (28:36):
And that's what I think it is. I think Tyler
Swift is more than just a musician. I think Taylor
Swift is also a business oh no question.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (28:42):
And Britney Spears was just a pops like we I'm
gonna go out there and perform.

Speaker 9 (28:45):
Well.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
I think that Britney Spears was very much a puppet
and the you know, the industry, you know, hands were
like puppeteering Britney Spears through her career and she went
along with it because it worked. Yeah, And Taylor Swift
is definitely not a puppet. There's nobody pulling the strings
on Taylor Swift. What's amazing to me is just how
many people work on that tour. Just vast numbers of

(29:07):
maybe a few hundred people work on that tour, from
the text to the lighting, to the guy who runs
the I mean underneath the stage. There's like a little
like a little horse that she rides on. It looks
like a horse and wheels her back and forth underneath
the stage because you can't run under the stage.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
It's just it's fascinating.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
I want to be that little horse driver.

Speaker 8 (29:27):
I drive the horse that Taylor Swift rides underneath the stage.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
That's my job.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Speaking of Taylor Swift, it turns out I think we
knew this that Taylor Swift's mom was the one who
set her up with Travis Kelsey. He's the nicest guy,
and you know what, he really loves his mom.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
I went.

Speaker 8 (29:46):
Then, I said, now, how in the world am I
going to get her to meet him?

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Okay, and then she's talking about how when her mom
told her about Travis, you call.

Speaker 8 (29:56):
Me up like with this tone of like, hey, so
I know you're gonna not react well to this, but
there's a guy.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
He's really cute.

Speaker 8 (30:05):
You said something to the effect of, like you got
to start doing something different.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Somebody just texted in, they said at KATWB one, they said,
Taylor Swift is awesome, but it also helps when your
dad's a loaded millionaire and you don't have to do
anything else in your life except reach for the stars. Now,
there's no question about that, because you have either the
privilege of going out and chasing your dreams or working
part time over at Coles while you're going to to

(30:31):
ride learn how to weld the goat kart together.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Nowhere Universe.

Speaker 7 (30:39):
It is a bit of a slowder day. But I
learned something today that I didn't know. Kelly Osborne and
Jack they have another brother named Louis or Lewis Osborne
and apparently that was from Ozzie's previous marriage before.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Sharon didn't know that.

Speaker 7 (30:52):
Yeah, So anyways, Kelly Osborne was seen out in a
rare photo with her brother because apparently he doesn't make
a lot of public appearances. He keeps very to himself.
And I was like, I did not know that they
had another brother and that Ozzie had a kid with
a different person. So there you go. Wow, fun facts.

Speaker 8 (31:09):
Another fun fact, Northwest, Kim Kardashian's daughter and Kanye West
daughter is she's twelve years old and this weekend she
made her own Instagram account. Everybody, it's breaking news, breaking news,
you guys, feel well. She has her own Instagram and
she's already posted two pictures.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
She started it on Saturday. Wow, congratulations Northwest.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Unfortunately, that looks a lot like Kanye.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
She does. She does.

Speaker 10 (31:31):
Indeed, this weekend, I don't know where was Saturday Saturday
Night Live, season finale or Winter finale, but when Yang
announce out of nowhere, tomorrow's my last episode.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
So here's emotional send off.

Speaker 11 (31:41):
I just feels so lucky that I ever got to
work here, and I just wanted to enjoy for a
little bit longer.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Especially the people.

Speaker 11 (31:51):
I've loved, every single person works here, because they've done
so much to me, especially my boss.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
Before I go, do you have any feedback for me? Well,
everyone thought you were a little bit too gay? Do
you know what you're me?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
And that is the dirt. We're gonna come back with
the second to the last Christmas wish and I know
it's sad, and it's coming up next on kdbub and
on iHeartRadio. I gotta give a shout out to God.
I think her name is Olivia. I saw her out
walking yesterday and she's like, are you Dave Ryan? And

(32:38):
it was really interesting she said, I listen every morning
on iHeartRadio, and I thought it was interesting that she
didn't say KATWB that she said iHeart Radio, and I
thought that was just what an interesting twist because a
lot of people say, oh, I hear your show on KTBDB,
but our show is also all over on iHeartRadio. Of
course it's on KTWB, but you can take us anywhere
and check out the Minnesota Goodbye. It is a little

(33:01):
bonus bit of content that we do every day. That's
after the show, fifteen to twenty minutes of bonus content
called the Minnesota Goodbye. Check that out as well on
the iHeart app.
