Speaker 7 (02:40):
I've never been written up as an employee my entire life,
but I would get to work early and sit in
my car and I wouldn't go into work until War
the Roses was over. And then finally got written up
and I was crying in the boss's office and like,

Our family moved from on the thirty to Minnesota about
nine years ago. We found your morning show and listened
to it all the time. It's fill sip the hole.
It got my son hits radio so much so that
he insisted he get a radio that's from off the
batteries and you have to actually turn the dile to
find the station.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I've been listening to you for like.
Speaker 9 (03:53):
Twenty five years.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
I'm almost nervous.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
To see what the show is gonna be like without
You're never ever gonna be another show like the Dave
Ryan Morning.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
It's something Unpretable's right. I hope you have the time
of your life.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, thanks a lot, you guys.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Oh it is.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yeah, you know, I'm doing good. I'm happy. I am.
It's a little bit surreal. Like I told you yesterday
when we were at them all of America, just looking
out at all those people that had shown up, it
was like hard to believe it's for me. It's kind
of like ohther or not. I mean, your mind doesn't
let you believe it, right, because why why would they?
(04:52):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Why?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I thought it was really cute when well, not cute,
I don't know, like meaningful at the end when you're
like thanks everybody for being in here, all about you,
we wouldn't be here whatever, and then everybody stood up
and like gave you like a standing ovation.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I didn't believe that was I didn't know what to do.
That was cute. I've never had a standing ovation.
Speaker 9 (05:09):
You know what you should have done.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You should have gone to the front of the stage
and then like turned around and then just like fell
backwards and seeing if they caught you or not.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
They would all dodge out of the way. Ambulances called
Dave let out into gurney with a concussion though good
bit and the people would remember it. Yeah, No, that
was a lot of fun, and it is you know,
we're down to like the last fifty minutes do we
have do we get ahold of our special what not?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Yet?
Speaker 9 (05:36):
But we'll maybe they'll be calling back. We'll see, Okay,
we'll give it a second.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
H yeah, right, it is sort I don't know what
you guys were just talking about, because I was on the.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
We're talking about the crowd yesterday and how fun it
was to be out there. Yeah, and all the people
that came by, and and and again you've probably heard
me tell the story about all the former show members,
everybody that was anybody on the show came by and
they were all like great and happy to be there,
and it just meant the world to me that you
know that. But I think that you know, it's not
just me, it's their experience here at KATIEWB that was
(06:10):
so positive. Everybody had a positive experience here except Jackson
and Drake and Cassie and CAMSI but no, but everybody's
had a positive experience here. So it wasn't all just
about me. It was, you know, partially about our show.
But Steve loved being here. He was here for fifteen years.
(06:30):
That's a centerpiece of his life. His life's never going
to it's going to go downhill from here.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
That already has.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
But he was so funny. It was so funny. And
and Wilson and Lee and you know, they all have
such great affection for you know, this show and the
and the and the station, the people who listen.
Speaker 9 (06:47):
Uh huh. Yeah, it's it's been a while ride.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
And we didn't really get a chance, Stave to talk
to you during the show yesterday, because there were so
many amazing people here. But we as a whole also
want to say just like, thank you so much. I'll
Bailey go first because she is a woman of many words.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So yesterday obviously we all got to like roast you,
and then at the end of everybody was roast, they
said something nice about you, but I roasted you as
your dog, Bernie, and so I didn't get to say
anything nice.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, So I was gonna do this extemporaneously, and then
I ended up just writing the whole things.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
We're just gonna read it, okay, Okay, hold.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
On, I'm not gonna face Allison when I'm reading it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
My earliest memory of the Morning Show is sitting with
my sister on the bathroom floor while my mama did
her hair and makeup every morning getting ready for work.
We would see y'all on its apple farm every fall
and the State Fair every summer. Then as an adult,
I'd come to girls' night outs booty cruises. When other
people my age moved to podcasts and streaming music, I
was still driving in nineteen ninety four Toyota Corolla, so
(07:50):
listening to the radio was all I had known, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Was good at it.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
But I never really thought of myself as a super fan.
I was just a girl with a radio. There are
people pople out here who never miss a minute of
the Dave Ryan Show, and there are people out here
who have listened since your first day. I would listen
on my drive to work. I would listen when I
was in unfamiliar places to bring me a sense of familiarity.
And I listened because that's just what I did. And
(08:16):
you were the fabric of my life. You're always there,
and so I feel so incredibly lucky to have been
here for this little moment at the end of your career.
It's truly been the most fun job I've ever had.
After working at disney World and the Historic Farm and
the liquor store was pretty fine.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
That is very sweet. You You've been so good. I
tell people all the time how how funny you are,
and you're a good friend, and you are like you
and I are on the same wavelength sometimes when it
comes to humor that we can finish each other sandwiches sentences.
What I was going to say, sandwiches. See she's funny, No,
(09:03):
I do.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's been a joy, and I do think it's it
is nice to be able to talk to somebody who
has the same exact sense of humor as you and
not have to, like, you know, work at it. So
people are like, do you like your job? I'm like, yeah,
I just get to show up and talk to my
friend every day.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Oh, that's very sweet. No, Bailey and I make fun
about people all the time. It's like, you know, like
you tell some hysterical joke and they're like, are you serious?
Why would you say that to me?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well, I do it as soon and all the time.
I call her a big old fat b word a
good bit and she's like, why would you say that?
And I'm like, it's a joke. Come on, it's a joke.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Do you get it?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Okay, that's all.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
Okay, thank you. I'm gonna let Vaunt take the floor next.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Daddy Bear.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I feel like, and I kind of said a little
bit yesterday, it's weird because I I didn't know you
before this show, like Bailey, and I haven't worked with
you as long. But man, in just literally two years
almost to the day, I have learned so much working
with you. And I didn't ever expect to work with you. I,
you know, love radio and I'm a radio nerd, and
you kind of know that because you and I, you know,
talk about like a lot of radio things and I
(10:05):
ask you, you know, advice and talk about this person.
And I just didn't think that this would, you know,
impact me though as much as it did. I knew
it's the Dave Ryan Show, but I didn't know anything
about the Dave Ryan Show because I'm not from here.
And so when I got the opportunity, which again wasn't
even supposed to happen, I was just blessed with the
opportunity to start working on the show. I was like, Wow,
I need to step up to the plate because Dave
(10:26):
and at the time, you know, Fallon and Jenny and
x y Z, you guys are you know, hard workers.
And you guys, you know you cat step up to
the plate work with Dave. You have made such an
impact on me. You continue to push me my creativity.
You can tell me to continue to challenge myself. And
I don't think you know anybody has you know told
they've told me, you know, push yourself, push yourself. But
(10:47):
you I give you an idea and you'd be like, Okay,
well go do it then, or you'll be like enough talking,
just go do it. That's one of the best piece
of advice you ever gave me was stop preparing and
just go do Yeah, exactly, because you're never gonna get
anywhere if you don't do. If you keep saying, oh,
I'll playing this or i'll write this, I'm gonna miss
being a part of the show. You show me what
like real radio is. Seriously, there's not another show like
the Dave Ryan Show. And in just two years I've
(11:07):
learned that. So if you are lucky enough to have
a conversation with Dave Ryan, literally just listen. Intern John
told me this also when I first got here. He said,
if you ever work on the Dave Ryan Show for
a sliver of amount of time, you learn nothing you're
an idiot, and I've learned so much. So David, thank
you for you know, blessing me with the opportunity to work.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Well. You are day you.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Thank you. You are the real deal. And I told
v I tell them several times. I said, whether it's
going to be in radio or whether you're a NASCAR
team owner, one day you are going to do big things.
I don't know what you know the future of radio is,
but one day you are going to do big things.
I mean you could own a chain of hair salons.
Whatever it is you are. You have a business mind,
(11:47):
you have an ambitious mind, and whatever it is you do,
you're going to do well at it. There'll be some
stumbling blocks along the way and you're like, man, oh
that sucked. I failed. Well, you did fail, but that
doesn't mean you're a failure. It means you failed. And
how many times you get to fail before you succeed?
So keep on keeping on.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
And I appreciate you always just guiding me, because a
couple of weeks ago, if somebody had texted and was like, vohs,
seems like he's always trying to impress Dave. He's corny,
and I was, yeah, I want to impress him because
he's so good at what he does.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
That's why he.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Here so good shut up and hotful too, So he's
so good, So.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Of course I want to impress him. And I always
just want to make you proud. Thank you, you do,
thank you absolutely do.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
I mean, there's so many things I could say about
your Dave, because we've been together now for ten years
and it's been a wild journey. I just remember moving
to the Twin Cities for college. I didn't know anything
about radio around here, but the first thing I learned
was the Dave Ryan Show, and I started listening and
then eventually got to intern and I got to do
the most random bits on the show. I know that
there was a little motion where you like juggle boobs
(12:45):
up and down, and that meant get Jenny because we
needed her.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You and Original six that was.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
The yeah, you kind of did that.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
And then I remember on my last day as an intern,
you and Steve did a classic slow jam for me
and it was absolutely beautiful. It made me laugh so hard.
And then I went into the real world and I
hated it, and I got back into radio mostly because
I was like, I want to do what Dave does.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
He has such an inspiration. And then I got back.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
On your show and it has been a journey since then,
and I've learned so much. I've been through a lot
of different versions of the show as well, and through
everything you have been the constant, and I've learned a
ton from you, and I just I feel like it's
been seriously such an honor to do.
Speaker 9 (13:29):
I've worked with you for so long, and I'm so
happy for you.
Speaker 11 (13:33):
You've accomplished so much, and it's great, it's like so
great to see it, and I'm so happy that, like
you're gonna go on to this next chapter of your
life and get out in that RV and go on
all the adventures and stuff. So thank you Dave for
letting be a part of it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Jenny, you are so sweet. You are just as nice
as everybody thinks you are. And you talk about somebody
who's never she just never has a bad thing to
say about everybody, because come in and I'll try to
gossip about somebody. I'll be like, did you see the
stupid shirt Meat Sauces wearing today?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
What an idiot?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And she'd be like, you know, I kind of like it.
It's kind of pretty, and I'll be like, well, did
you see Rich's got new glasses? Rich's glasses are stupid.
Did you see Rich's new glasses? And she'd be like, oh,
I helped pick him out. I really like it. She's
just the kindest person. You never have anything bad to
say about anybody. But it's funny because once in a
while Jenny gets frustrated. She's like, I can't believe and
(14:29):
it's like, because we're all human, because even when you
are like the nicest person in the world, sometimes you're
like Drake. So no, and we love Drake too, Drake.
We did Drake a hard time because he deserves it,
but no, Drake, Drake was a very sweet kid. But
you are just the best. You were so organized. And
(14:53):
when I tell Jenny what are we doing next? A
lot of the time because I don't know, and I
don't care, I don't care, I don't I don't care,
but Jenny always knows. And if she doesn't know, she's
really good at making something that way. So thanks you guys.
We are going to you know, the everybody's been wondering
one thing, what happens to the show next? And because
(15:17):
you know, we're all off for the weekend. It's the
big long long weekend. Oh, here comes Boss Rich. You
know Jenny was just making fun of your new glasses.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
I didn't do any.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Up for it.
Speaker 9 (15:32):
I'm over here in tears.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Stop it.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
Yeah, you can sit down. Pull up that Mikey.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Hello are hey? So I know you always joke about
a sheet cake in the break room.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Because on my twenty fifth anniversary, guys said, if they
give me a sheet cake in the break room, I'm
going to burn this building down. And so this big
giant party on the rooftop of seven Sushi and Steak,
and it was wonderful.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Well, I hope you have your mattress today.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Oh no, no.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
This is not a sheet cake.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
No, it's worse. It's gonna fly off.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, but this is the saddest Wait what is it?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Hold it up.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I'm gonna hold it up. There we almost on the floor.
It says, Dame, thank you for thirty three years. I
ran out of space.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Oh my gosh, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
By the way, I love cheesecake, though, well there you
know that I love sheet cake. It's not a sheet cake,
so I don't have to burn the place down. So
because they're just built a new building, so it'll be rough.
I pulled this out of the archives. By the way,
seemed to be Windbreaker from the nineties. That is, from
the night. It looks like it's from the nineties.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Will Yeah. I also, you know, I'm a giant radio geek.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
So in addition to being fortunate enough to be your
program director for all these years, I have loved working
with you, and so I have saved things that were
in the files from a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Oh this is I'll show it to you real quick.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
This is the press release from when you got hired
in ninety three.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Oh my gosh, wow.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
And it says it says your quote says, this is
pretty awesome. Dave Ryan commented, there's no other station as
exciting to me as KATWB.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
The opportunity to.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Work with a strong management team, great ownership, and a
terrific market like the Twin Cities is what every personality
strives for.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
And I meant it years later.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
This release actually came out May twenty sixth of nineteen
ninety three.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Whoa, yeah, wow. No people maybe know this, maybe not,
but KTWB is legendary in the business. I mean, you
could work in like Albuquerque, or you could work in
Boise and you've heard of KTWB because it is such
a legendary station. Does it get to keep that for
a scrap book?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
You can have that?
Speaker 6 (18:05):
And then I found this and I don't know why
I had this saved, but it's a show sheet. So
morning shows put together, you know, a list of things
that they want to do on the show every day,
and so this is a show sheet from back in
the day. At the top it says two times Marconi
Award winning, Crystal Award winning Katie w B Dave Ryan
in the Morning Show, and then it says Minnesota Parent
(18:26):
Magazine Honorary family Favorite. You were working your way up
to a better award, and then below that it says
Minnesota Radio Broadcast Personality of the Year, and then it
has you know the times and what bits you were
going to do at specific times.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I don't remember some of these, but most were forgettable.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Smelly Guy, Hiram books, Grammy contest, mystery Celebrity.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
There's Titanic written on here like four times.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I don't know what that was, no idea what date
was that from?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
You know what? It doesn't say a date would have.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Been around ninety seven. If we're talking about Titanic, probably
how old is too old? Smelly guy, you did a
couple of times, so that must have been a check
that out, wool, that's what it used to look like.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
I don't know that I can say anything beyond what
everybody has said about you. So I'll give you some perspective,
just as the program director that has gotten to work
with you for what over thirteen years. The reason Dave
is so good is because he's always working hard. He's
(19:40):
always thinking about the show. There were years and years
and years where the first email I got on a
Sunday morning was from you to talk about whatever idea
you were thinking about, or what we could do, or what.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Crazy billboard you wanted to do.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
A lot of those billboards, by the way, Dave actually
paid for himself.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, well, yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
I remember that idea, But do you remember what the
idea was before we settled on Dave Ryan gave me Crabs.
There was one before that, and I found it because
I have texts from you from from ever forever, and
it was Dave Ryan ate my taco.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
That was.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
First the Crabs it's funny. I like them both. That'll
be the new one. Okay, that's funny.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
We've had so many conversations good, bad, sad in my
office talking about the show and the station. We've got
in trouble for things that you've done. A year ago,
we got in trouble. I had to write you up
and then I got written up that was got in
trouble with the boss. Yeah, the boss and the boss's boss.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
But anyway, I just want to say thank you. I
said this to you a week or so ago.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
But radio station's success is really the uh somewhat based
on how the morning show does. And so when you
have a morning show, and by the way, we just
got ratings this past Tuesday, and the Dave Ryant Show,
thirty three years in is still number one with women
eighteen to forty nine and number one.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Wow, bonus hut fifteen whole dollars. I'll take it.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
You get, really what you get, an then.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
The radio station can, you know, be successful too.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
And so you've done that for a very long time
and it's been a pleasure to work.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
With you and I've enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So thank you, Rich, thanks for everything, and you know,
what I'm gonna tell you. I've worked with a lot
of program directors over the years, and there's there's program
directors that breathe down your neck, Dave, but what are
you doing? But but rot? But but Rich has always
(21:56):
kind of I think your philosophy is like, you know
what you're doing better than probably anybody in the building.
So I'll be listening, and if you slip up and
play time Passages by Al Stewart, I might call and say, no,
take it off. But I appreciate the freedom and the
trust to do this because a lot of program directors
and bosses, you know over at General Mills, they're not
that way. Not to pick on anybody, but you know
(22:17):
there's bosses that breathe down your neck all the time,
and you just never did. And I really appreciate that.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Yeah, and boss Check obviously became such a big thing.
Even yesterday at the Mall. I was standing side stage
watching you do the show, and they were listeners that
were grabbing me having me sign.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Autographs from boss Check. Is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's check is being pull out time passages?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Yeah? Please Al Stewart, get that song off my radio.
I don't know why my accent.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I don't know why this is a voice that is
familiar to me, and we make fun of him because
you know, we love him, but I think it's is
it Robin?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Rob?
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Dave?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
What the hell are you doing over there?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Rob?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Hey, what are you gonna do? You're going past nine o'clock?
And we got to make it good a ball?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Rob was he was, he was, He was a bulldog
of a of a manager, and that he took such
good care of everybody. But if you ever screwed up,
he was right there to let you know. And I
remember you called in one time and it was something
like I did something wrong and I missed a commercial
and you said, well, it better be make good a
ball And I was such a d word, I said,
I don't think make good a ball is a word?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
A word?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, you should.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
You should play the Cartman song, which was the don't
worry be happy that Freddy Crews put together. Don't worry
be happy that it's all me calling in On the record.
Somebody recorded me calling into the hotline and yelling at
you know, what's going on? What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
All the time?
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Rob? We love you though.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I remember Rob used to call me almost every afternoon,
and he would start off your phone call with this, Hello,
we got a problem, and then I had to listen
to whatever was that I got in trouble for the
dairy Association is pissed off at you again again?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, Well, let me just you know, I would echo
a lot of what Rich said, and it's true, and
you know, but we always had your back, you know.
And I've known you since Columbus, so that goes back
to the eighties. And I will tell you deserve your flowers.
You had thirty three years and I told you this
the other night. It's the one hell of a run
(24:30):
and not maybe get to go out.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
Of their own terms.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
So you deserve everything you you've got. And I would
echo a lot of it because I've always had a
philosophy And I know you said that I you know,
I was hard on some folks, but that's just you know,
I kind of had a football coach's mentality somewhat.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
But the one thing about Dave Ryan is you there's
I always stayed with talent on radio. You have the
giddy up factor and the and the wild Ellie factory.
You're definitely in the woe Nelly factor because you know
there's no there's no non stop with you. I mean
you're always working and you're always working on things to
(25:10):
make things better, to connect with your listeners and the
station and ideas. So kudos do you man. Congratulations well
deserved and congratulations on all fame.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Hey, thank you, Rob. I appreciate that. My philosophy was
Rob was like, don't ask him or he'll say no.
It is better to get forgiveness than to get permission.
Problem was I.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Never did have that.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I never got either neither.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
Now Pose promotion meetings would be like I need this, this,
this and this, and I'm like, well, I don't know
what and then we figure out how to do it.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
But you know, you figure out how to do it
and we don't. Yeah, but you know, and again if
we want to support you and you know you won.
And there were times where I would put out memos.
I'm sure Rich does it too. It's like, you know,
these numbers are stupid. It's like the ratings comes out
and you're like, Ryan's got a forty share. I mean no, seriously,
(26:09):
And it was I mean we had some times where
it was like wow, I mean and so it's legendary
and you just can't you can't make that up. It's
just there's a connection there. And so everything you know
you're hearing from everybody is spot on.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Well, thank you, Rob, I mean, obviously you were a
big part of you with the boss here from like
ninety six or seven all the way to two thousand
and sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Well I got you know, I got there a year
after you got there, and then you know, and then
Kylie came in for a couple of years. Dan Kylie,
and you know, we learned a lot from him, and
Dan was very supportive of you, and you know, treated
you really well. Didnyone out and had to deal with
Rick D's which was a whole other matter. That's a
(26:56):
whole other story that nobody wants to hear about. But then, yeah,
I had said some odd years and obviously Rich came
in with me, and then Fritz came back, and so
you know, it's been been a great run. And KATVB
is a great radio station. And you're right everybody, you know,
when I left and went to Florida and uh talked
to other folks and other companies and deal with other people.
(27:17):
You know, it's it's certainly a recurring theme of how
great that radio, that.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Radio station is.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
It is.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It's a big radio Rob. Thank you very much, Thank you.

Speaker 9 (29:16):
Now we got to take a break.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
We got to take a break.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And so many people have been wondering what is going
to happen to the show in the future, and I
will tell you next Okay, what's going to happen? So
if you want to know, stay here. Okay, So in
our last ten minutes of the show, ten minutes, the
last ten minutes of thirty three years, I just want
(29:40):
to tell the whale joke.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
No, I'm kidding, abut not.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Oh, We've got a lot of requests for it.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Not not.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
But I do do corporate events. So if you want
me to come to your corporate event tell the whale joke.
I got a thirty minute version of it, so choking,
nobody's laughing.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
No oh, I was prepared for it. I actually wanted
you to do it. Honestly.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I love the joke there is. You know a lot
of people are saying, what is going to happen with
the show, and and that's a fair question. Well, first
of all, it's a holiday weekend, so nothing will happen
on Monday. There will be, like you know, lots of
music and that type of thing. But starting Tuesday, and
I think you're gonna be excited about this, Fallon and
(30:20):
Colt will be moving to the morning show. But before
you go, my gosh, what's going to happen to everybody else,
let me just tell this. There are going to be
some surprises. So I am not at liberty to say
what the surprises are. But Fallon and Colt, who do
a great job in the afternoon, will come and do
(30:40):
the morning show. But there will be other things. There
will be other surprises, and that's really all I can
tell you.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I'm so tempted to make a bad joke. I hate quiet.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
I was trying to break the silence attention.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
But but I'm so happy for a fallon and cult
and I think people will love their show. And maybe
you've never listened to him before, give them a chance.
I think a lot of people have listened to them.
So but then there are other surprises as well that
I can't tell you, which I feel weird about because
(31:21):
it shouldn't be It shouldn't be me that has to
like announce you know what's going on. But I think
people look at me as like, Okay, you're the big
mouth on the station. How about you tell.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
Us, oh yeah, and people want us to know what
was coming next after you.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
People also want a farewell speech from you.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, you have to once off at a one time.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I always tell people when you make a speech, never
wing it. I always say, you know, write it. Plant.
Susan my wife the other day, come over here for
one second because you've been she hates being on the radio.
Come unless she's got some making fun of me about
something about have to wear a bib or around the house,
because I do wear a bib when I eat.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Carson.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
You saw me put on a bib last night because
I get food all over myself. What did you tell me?
You asked the other day, you said, are you going
to like? What are you going to say?
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Right? Yeah, I did, yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
What did you think I was going to say?
Speaker 9 (32:15):
I wasn't sure it could go anyway, so surprise to us.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
All I said. I haven't written anything. I haven't done anything.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
I haven't written anything. I said.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I always tell people plan your speech, don't wing it,
because it doesn't always go well. But for this one,
I think that, first of all, over the course of
the last week and especially the last couple of days,
I've kind of said all that I wanted to say,
but I guess I have to kind of sum it
up here, which I'm I'm more than happy to do.
And first of all, it's about the people. It's all
(32:46):
about the people. And when I say people, I mean
the people that worked on the show and the people
like you who listened to the show. And I always say,
whether you've listened for like, you know, a week, or
thirty three years or somewhere in between, it's we need
each other. We need each other.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I need you.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
You needed someone like this radio station, something like this
radio station, And that's why you're here to fill a
certain hole or gap or whatever it is in your life.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
And I think that radio is so good at doing that.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
And I'm honored and so happy that we may have
been able to help you fill that gap of whether
it's loneliness, or you need a laugh, or you need
some company, or you're on a road trip, or you
just want some fun, or you want to hear War
of the Roses. We need each other. But I'll also
say that about the people who have worked here on
the show. So many people that have been on the
show the last couple of days, they've been saying thank you,
(33:40):
thank you, thank you for all you've done for me,
And I'm like, no, thank you for all you've done
for me. Like Lena comes up, She's like, you took
me from a bank teller to now she's like a
big deal and lives in New York. Fallon was a
hillbilly and she still is, but now she's got a
big afternoon show and she's like thank you. And and
(34:00):
intern John, you know, he was like a goofy kid
with you know, like ambition when vaunt and and and
people say thank you, and I'm like, no it. We
need each other because I needed you. There's no way
that I could have come here and done any of
this without the wonderful, amazing people that that have been
here on the show. You know, Bailey and I needed
(34:23):
each other, Jenny and I and Vaunt and I needed
just kind of like you need your partner, you need
each other.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
So I have needed you, You've needed me.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I'm sad because I don't know how bad I'm going
to miss doing this. But at the same time, I
think I've matured to the point where I don't need
to be fed with attention anymore.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
Like we love attention.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
We all love attention, positive attention, not stalker attention, but
positive attention. Yeah uh, but we all love positive attention.
And and I think as I've gotten old, are and
more mature, I don't feel the need to seek attention.
I hope, because I get fed. My heart and soul
(35:11):
gets fed from other things, you know, the family and Bernie,
not Roger. We're not close, but.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
That's Susan's cat.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
That's that's Susan's camp. But the kids and the family
and adventures and the people who have listened. And I
still hope that you know, I'll still be on Instagram
and Facebook, and I don't know that I'll be on
there as much, but I'll be on there once in
a while. And I appreciate all the dms. And by
the way, if you want to reach out to me
for anything, try to reach me at Ryan Show at
(35:41):
KTIWB dot com and I will try to answer every email.
I don't know how many I'm gonna get. If I'm
going to get fifteen hundred, I might not be able
to answer all of them, but I will read every
one of them. And if you need me for anything,
let me know. And you can also get a cameo
because I make eleven or twelve bucks from each cameo,
and that's not it it because I'm on a fixed income.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I I'm gonna play one last song here in a second,
and I play this song because I love this song,
because I never knew this song that's twenty twenty five
years old had such a positive message, but it really
does have such a sweet, positive message in a song
that doesn't sound like it's a sentimental song at all,
but it's just a happy, upbeat song that reminds you, hey,
(36:27):
keep going, it's fine. It's just a little snail, a
little like a bump in the road. And I will
go ahead and tell you this one more thing that
I remember that you know, we all have hills to climb.
And about ten years ago at boy Scout Camp, Carson
remembers phil Mont Scout Ranch and all the hiking up hills,
and I was like, God, this hill goes up forever.
And then it dawned on me that no hill goes
up forever. It eventually levels off. So in life, that's
(36:49):
your hill. There's metaphors for hills. Sometimes you're climbing a
hill and it's a bitch and you're like, man, this
hill is never going to end. Let me assure you,
it will eventually end. In nearly all cases, it's gonna
level out and go down to your coach down the
other side. But just one there's gonna be another hill
on the other side. But no hill goes up forever.
And that's kind of the message of this song that
(37:10):
I will leave you with on a positive note. But
I have to say, and I can't say it enough,
thank you for being here. Because you are we need
each other. We all need each other, So thank you
for being here. And I appreciate you so much. And
(37:34):
in the words of a very famous comedian. I will
say these are not my words. I'm gonna steal them
from him, but I think it's appropriate. I will say
thanks for the memories, and I really mean that
Thanks for sharing your life with us and making us
feel like a part of that family. Love you, guys.
Speaker 2 (00:07):

donuts total.

How come when you know you're celebrating something, everyone brings
sweets and like cakes and donuts and things, and not

I've never been written up as an employee my entire life,
but I would get to work early and sit in

when we were at them all of America, just looking
out at all those people that had shown up, it
was like hard to believe it's for me. It's kind
of like ohther or not. I mean, your mind doesn't
let you believe it, right, because why why would they?
(04:52):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Why?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I thought it was really cute when well, not cute,
I don't know, like meaningful at the end when you're
like thanks everybody for being in here, all about you,
we wouldn't be here whatever, and then everybody stood up
and like gave you like a standing ovation.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I didn't believe that was I didn't know what to do.
That was cute. I've never had a standing ovation.
Speaker 9 (05:09):
You know what you should have done.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You should have gone to the front of the stage
and then like turned around and then just like fell
backwards and seeing if they caught you or not.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
They would all dodge out of the way. Ambulances called
Dave let out into gurney with a concussion though good
bit and the people would remember it. Yeah, No, that
was a lot of fun, and it is you know,
we're down to like the last fifty minutes do we
have do we get ahold of our special what not?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Yet?
Speaker 9 (05:36):
But we'll maybe they'll be calling back. We'll see, Okay,
we'll give it a second.
Speaker 7 (05:43):
H yeah, right, it is sort I don't know what
you guys were just talking about, because I was on the.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
We're talking about the crowd yesterday and how fun it
was to be out there. Yeah, and all the people
that came by, and and and again you've probably heard
me tell the story about all the former show members,
everybody that was anybody on the show came by and
they were all like great and happy to be there,
and it just meant the world to me that you
know that. But I think that you know, it's not
just me, it's their experience here at KATIEWB that was
(06:10):
so positive. Everybody had a positive experience here except Jackson
and Drake and Cassie and CAMSI but no, but everybody's
had a positive experience here. So it wasn't all just
about me. It was, you know, partially about our show.
But Steve loved being here. He was here for fifteen years.
(06:30):
That's a centerpiece of his life. His life's never going
to it's going to go downhill from here.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
That already has.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
But he was so funny. It was so funny. And
and Wilson and Lee and you know, they all have
such great affection for you know, this show and the
and the and the station, the people who listen.
Speaker 9 (06:47):
Uh huh. Yeah, it's it's been a while ride.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
And we didn't really get a chance, Stave to talk
to you during the show yesterday, because there were so
many amazing people here. But we as a whole also
want to say just like, thank you so much. I'll
Bailey go first because she is a woman of many words.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So yesterday obviously we all got to like roast you,
and then at the end of everybody was roast, they
said something nice about you, but I roasted you as
your dog, Bernie, and so I didn't get to say
anything nice.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, So I was gonna do this extemporaneously, and then
I ended up just writing the whole things.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
We're just gonna read it, okay, Okay, hold.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
On, I'm not gonna face Allison when I'm reading it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
My earliest memory of the Morning Show is sitting with
my sister on the bathroom floor while my mama did
her hair and makeup every morning getting ready for work.
We would see y'all on its apple farm every fall
and the State Fair every summer. Then as an adult,
I'd come to girls' night outs booty cruises. When other
people my age moved to podcasts and streaming music, I
was still driving in nineteen ninety four Toyota Corolla, so
(07:50):
listening to the radio was all I had known, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Was good at it.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
But I never really thought of myself as a super fan.
I was just a girl with a radio. There are
people pople out here who never miss a minute of
the Dave Ryan Show, and there are people out here
who have listened since your first day. I would listen
on my drive to work. I would listen when I
was in unfamiliar places to bring me a sense of familiarity.
And I listened because that's just what I did. And
(08:16):
you were the fabric of my life. You're always there,
and so I feel so incredibly lucky to have been
here for this little moment at the end of your career.
It's truly been the most fun job I've ever had.
After working at disney World and the Historic Farm and
the liquor store was pretty fine.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
That is very sweet. You You've been so good. I
tell people all the time how how funny you are,
and you're a good friend, and you are like you
and I are on the same wavelength sometimes when it
comes to humor that we can finish each other sandwiches sentences.
What I was going to say, sandwiches. See she's funny, No,
(09:03):
I do.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's been a joy, and I do think it's it
is nice to be able to talk to somebody who
has the same exact sense of humor as you and
not have to, like, you know, work at it. So
people are like, do you like your job? I'm like, yeah,
I just get to show up and talk to my
friend every day.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Oh, that's very sweet. No, Bailey and I make fun
about people all the time. It's like, you know, like
you tell some hysterical joke and they're like, are you serious?
Why would you say that to me?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well, I do it as soon and all the time.
I call her a big old fat b word a
good bit and she's like, why would you say that?
And I'm like, it's a joke. Come on, it's a joke.
Speaker 9 (09:36):
Do you get it?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Okay, that's all.
Speaker 9 (09:39):
Okay, thank you. I'm gonna let Vaunt take the floor next.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Daddy Bear.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I feel like, and I kind of said a little
bit yesterday, it's weird because I I didn't know you
before this show, like Bailey, and I haven't worked with
you as long. But man, in just literally two years
almost to the day, I have learned so much working
with you. And I didn't ever expect to work with you. I,
you know, love radio and I'm a radio nerd, and
you kind of know that because you and I, you know,
talk about like a lot of radio things and I
(10:05):
ask you, you know, advice and talk about this person.
And I just didn't think that this would, you know,
impact me though as much as it did. I knew
it's the Dave Ryan Show, but I didn't know anything
about the Dave Ryan Show because I'm not from here.
And so when I got the opportunity, which again wasn't
even supposed to happen, I was just blessed with the
opportunity to start working on the show. I was like, Wow,
I need to step up to the plate because Dave
(10:26):
and at the time, you know, Fallon and Jenny and
x y Z, you guys are you know, hard workers.
And you guys, you know you cat step up to
the plate work with Dave. You have made such an
impact on me. You continue to push me my creativity.
You can tell me to continue to challenge myself. And
I don't think you know anybody has you know told
they've told me, you know, push yourself, push yourself. But
(10:47):
you I give you an idea and you'd be like, Okay,
well go do it then, or you'll be like enough talking,
just go do it. That's one of the best piece
of advice you ever gave me was stop preparing and
just go do Yeah, exactly, because you're never gonna get
anywhere if you don't do. If you keep saying, oh,
I'll playing this or i'll write this, I'm gonna miss
being a part of the show. You show me what
like real radio is. Seriously, there's not another show like
the Dave Ryan Show. And in just two years I've
(11:07):
learned that. So if you are lucky enough to have
a conversation with Dave Ryan, literally just listen. Intern John
told me this also when I first got here. He said,
if you ever work on the Dave Ryan Show for
a sliver of amount of time, you learn nothing you're
an idiot, and I've learned so much. So David, thank
you for you know, blessing me with the opportunity to work.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Well. You are day you.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Thank you. You are the real deal. And I told
v I tell them several times. I said, whether it's
going to be in radio or whether you're a NASCAR
team owner, one day you are going to do big things.
I don't know what you know the future of radio is,
but one day you are going to do big things.
I mean you could own a chain of hair salons.
Whatever it is you are. You have a business mind,
(11:47):
you have an ambitious mind, and whatever it is you do,
you're going to do well at it. There'll be some
stumbling blocks along the way and you're like, man, oh
that sucked. I failed. Well, you did fail, but that
doesn't mean you're a failure. It means you failed. And
how many times you get to fail before you succeed?
So keep on keeping on.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
And I appreciate you always just guiding me, because a
couple of weeks ago, if somebody had texted and was like, vohs,
seems like he's always trying to impress Dave. He's corny,
and I was, yeah, I want to impress him because
he's so good at what he does.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
That's why he.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Here so good shut up and hotful too, So he's
so good, So.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Of course I want to impress him. And I always
just want to make you proud. Thank you, you do,
thank you absolutely do.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
I mean, there's so many things I could say about
your Dave, because we've been together now for ten years
and it's been a wild journey. I just remember moving
to the Twin Cities for college. I didn't know anything
about radio around here, but the first thing I learned
was the Dave Ryan Show, and I started listening and
then eventually got to intern and I got to do
the most random bits on the show. I know that
there was a little motion where you like juggle boobs
(12:45):
up and down, and that meant get Jenny because we
needed her.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You and Original six that was.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
The yeah, you kind of did that.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
And then I remember on my last day as an intern,
you and Steve did a classic slow jam for me
and it was absolutely beautiful. It made me laugh so hard.
And then I went into the real world and I
hated it, and I got back into radio mostly because
I was like, I want to do what Dave does.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
He has such an inspiration. And then I got back.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
On your show and it has been a journey since then,
and I've learned so much. I've been through a lot
of different versions of the show as well, and through
everything you have been the constant, and I've learned a
ton from you, and I just I feel like it's
been seriously such an honor to do.
Speaker 9 (13:29):
I've worked with you for so long, and I'm so
happy for you.
Speaker 11 (13:33):
You've accomplished so much, and it's great, it's like so
great to see it, and I'm so happy that, like
you're gonna go on to this next chapter of your
life and get out in that RV and go on
all the adventures and stuff. So thank you Dave for
letting be a part of it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Jenny, you are so sweet. You are just as nice
as everybody thinks you are. And you talk about somebody
who's never she just never has a bad thing to
say about everybody, because come in and I'll try to
gossip about somebody. I'll be like, did you see the
stupid shirt Meat Sauces wearing today?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
What an idiot?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
And she'd be like, you know, I kind of like it.
It's kind of pretty, and I'll be like, well, did
you see Rich's got new glasses? Rich's glasses are stupid.
Did you see Rich's new glasses? And she'd be like, oh,
I helped pick him out. I really like it. She's
just the kindest person. You never have anything bad to
say about anybody. But it's funny because once in a
while Jenny gets frustrated. She's like, I can't believe and
(14:29):
it's like, because we're all human, because even when you
are like the nicest person in the world, sometimes you're
like Drake. So no, and we love Drake too, Drake.
We did Drake a hard time because he deserves it,
but no, Drake, Drake was a very sweet kid. But
you are just the best. You were so organized. And
(14:53):
when I tell Jenny what are we doing next? A
lot of the time because I don't know, and I
don't care, I don't care, I don't I don't care,
but Jenny always knows. And if she doesn't know, she's
really good at making something that way. So thanks you guys.
We are going to you know, the everybody's been wondering
one thing, what happens to the show next? And because
(15:17):
you know, we're all off for the weekend. It's the
big long long weekend. Oh, here comes Boss Rich. You
know Jenny was just making fun of your new glasses.
Speaker 9 (15:27):
I didn't do any.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Up for it.
Speaker 9 (15:32):
I'm over here in tears.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Stop it.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
Yeah, you can sit down. Pull up that Mikey.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Hello are hey? So I know you always joke about
a sheet cake in the break room.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Because on my twenty fifth anniversary, guys said, if they
give me a sheet cake in the break room, I'm
going to burn this building down. And so this big
giant party on the rooftop of seven Sushi and Steak,
and it was wonderful.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Well, I hope you have your mattress today.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Oh no, no.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
This is not a sheet cake.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
No, it's worse. It's gonna fly off.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, but this is the saddest Wait what is it?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Hold it up.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I'm gonna hold it up. There we almost on the floor.
It says, Dame, thank you for thirty three years. I
ran out of space.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Oh my gosh, it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
By the way, I love cheesecake, though, well there you
know that I love sheet cake. It's not a sheet cake,
so I don't have to burn the place down. So
because they're just built a new building, so it'll be rough.
I pulled this out of the archives. By the way,
seemed to be Windbreaker from the nineties. That is, from
the night. It looks like it's from the nineties.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Will Yeah. I also, you know, I'm a giant radio geek.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
So in addition to being fortunate enough to be your
program director for all these years, I have loved working
with you, and so I have saved things that were
in the files from a long time ago.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Oh this is I'll show it to you real quick.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
This is the press release from when you got hired
in ninety three.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Oh my gosh, wow.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
And it says it says your quote says, this is
pretty awesome. Dave Ryan commented, there's no other station as
exciting to me as KATWB.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
The opportunity to.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Work with a strong management team, great ownership, and a
terrific market like the Twin Cities is what every personality
strives for.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
And I meant it years later.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
This release actually came out May twenty sixth of nineteen
ninety three.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Whoa, yeah, wow. No people maybe know this, maybe not,
but KTWB is legendary in the business. I mean, you
could work in like Albuquerque, or you could work in
Boise and you've heard of KTWB because it is such
a legendary station. Does it get to keep that for
a scrap book?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
You can have that?
Speaker 6 (18:05):
And then I found this and I don't know why
I had this saved, but it's a show sheet. So
morning shows put together, you know, a list of things
that they want to do on the show every day,
and so this is a show sheet from back in
the day. At the top it says two times Marconi
Award winning, Crystal Award winning Katie w B Dave Ryan
in the Morning Show, and then it says Minnesota Parent
(18:26):
Magazine Honorary family Favorite. You were working your way up
to a better award, and then below that it says
Minnesota Radio Broadcast Personality of the Year, and then it
has you know the times and what bits you were
going to do at specific times.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I don't remember some of these, but most were forgettable.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Smelly Guy, Hiram books, Grammy contest, mystery Celebrity.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
There's Titanic written on here like four times.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I don't know what that was, no idea what date
was that from?
Speaker 5 (19:02):
You know what? It doesn't say a date would have.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Been around ninety seven. If we're talking about Titanic, probably
how old is too old? Smelly guy, you did a
couple of times, so that must have been a check
that out, wool, that's what it used to look like.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
I don't know that I can say anything beyond what
everybody has said about you. So I'll give you some perspective,
just as the program director that has gotten to work
with you for what over thirteen years. The reason Dave
is so good is because he's always working hard. He's
(19:40):
always thinking about the show. There were years and years
and years where the first email I got on a
Sunday morning was from you to talk about whatever idea
you were thinking about, or what we could do, or what.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Crazy billboard you wanted to do.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
A lot of those billboards, by the way, Dave actually
paid for himself.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, well, yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
I remember that idea, But do you remember what the
idea was before we settled on Dave Ryan gave me Crabs.
There was one before that, and I found it because
I have texts from you from from ever forever, and
it was Dave Ryan ate my taco.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
That was.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
First the Crabs it's funny. I like them both. That'll
be the new one. Okay, that's funny.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
We've had so many conversations good, bad, sad in my
office talking about the show and the station. We've got
in trouble for things that you've done. A year ago,
we got in trouble. I had to write you up
and then I got written up that was got in
trouble with the boss. Yeah, the boss and the boss's boss.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
But anyway, I just want to say thank you. I
said this to you a week or so ago.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
But radio station's success is really the uh somewhat based
on how the morning show does. And so when you
have a morning show, and by the way, we just
got ratings this past Tuesday, and the Dave Ryant Show,
thirty three years in is still number one with women
eighteen to forty nine and number one.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Wow, bonus hut fifteen whole dollars. I'll take it.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
You get, really what you get, an then.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
The radio station can, you know, be successful too.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
And so you've done that for a very long time
and it's been a pleasure to work.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
With you and I've enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So thank you, Rich, thanks for everything, and you know,
what I'm gonna tell you. I've worked with a lot
of program directors over the years, and there's there's program
directors that breathe down your neck, Dave, but what are
you doing? But but rot? But but Rich has always
(21:56):
kind of I think your philosophy is like, you know
what you're doing better than probably anybody in the building.
So I'll be listening, and if you slip up and
play time Passages by Al Stewart, I might call and say, no,
take it off. But I appreciate the freedom and the
trust to do this because a lot of program directors
and bosses, you know over at General Mills, they're not
that way. Not to pick on anybody, but you know
(22:17):
there's bosses that breathe down your neck all the time,
and you just never did. And I really appreciate that.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Yeah, and boss Check obviously became such a big thing.
Even yesterday at the Mall. I was standing side stage
watching you do the show, and they were listeners that
were grabbing me having me sign.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Autographs from boss Check. Is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's check is being pull out time passages?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
Yeah? Please Al Stewart, get that song off my radio.
I don't know why my accent.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I don't know why this is a voice that is
familiar to me, and we make fun of him because
you know, we love him, but I think it's is
it Robin?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Rob?
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Dave?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
What the hell are you doing over there?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Rob?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Hey, what are you gonna do? You're going past nine o'clock?
And we got to make it good a ball?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Rob was he was, he was, He was a bulldog
of a of a manager, and that he took such
good care of everybody. But if you ever screwed up,
he was right there to let you know. And I
remember you called in one time and it was something
like I did something wrong and I missed a commercial
and you said, well, it better be make good a
ball And I was such a d word, I said,
I don't think make good a ball is a word?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
A word?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Yeah, you should.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
You should play the Cartman song, which was the don't
worry be happy that Freddy Crews put together. Don't worry
be happy that it's all me calling in On the record.
Somebody recorded me calling into the hotline and yelling at
you know, what's going on? What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
All the time?
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Rob? We love you though.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I remember Rob used to call me almost every afternoon,
and he would start off your phone call with this, Hello,
we got a problem, and then I had to listen
to whatever was that I got in trouble for the
dairy Association is pissed off at you again again?
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah, Well, let me just you know, I would echo
a lot of what Rich said, and it's true, and
you know, but we always had your back, you know.
And I've known you since Columbus, so that goes back
to the eighties. And I will tell you deserve your flowers.
You had thirty three years and I told you this
the other night. It's the one hell of a run
(24:30):
and not maybe get to go out.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
Of their own terms.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
So you deserve everything you you've got. And I would
echo a lot of it because I've always had a
philosophy And I know you said that I you know,
I was hard on some folks, but that's just you know,
I kind of had a football coach's mentality somewhat.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
But the one thing about Dave Ryan is you there's
I always stayed with talent on radio. You have the
giddy up factor and the and the wild Ellie factory.
You're definitely in the woe Nelly factor because you know
there's no there's no non stop with you. I mean
you're always working and you're always working on things to
(25:10):
make things better, to connect with your listeners and the
station and ideas. So kudos do you man. Congratulations well
deserved and congratulations on all fame.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Hey, thank you, Rob. I appreciate that. My philosophy was
Rob was like, don't ask him or he'll say no.
It is better to get forgiveness than to get permission.
Problem was I.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Never did have that.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I never got either neither.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
Now Pose promotion meetings would be like I need this, this,
this and this, and I'm like, well, I don't know
what and then we figure out how to do it.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
But you know, you figure out how to do it
and we don't. Yeah, but you know, and again if
we want to support you and you know you won.
And there were times where I would put out memos.
I'm sure Rich does it too. It's like, you know,
these numbers are stupid. It's like the ratings comes out
and you're like, Ryan's got a forty share. I mean no, seriously,
(26:09):
And it was I mean we had some times where
it was like wow, I mean and so it's legendary
and you just can't you can't make that up. It's
just there's a connection there. And so everything you know

Dan was very supportive of you, and you know, treated
you really well. Didnyone out and had to deal with
Rick D's which was a whole other matter. That's a
(26:56):
whole other story that nobody wants to hear about. But then, yeah,

in with me, and then Fritz came back, and so

Speaker 9 (29:16):
Now we got to take a break.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
We got to take a break.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And so many people have been wondering what is going
to happen to the show in the future, and I
will tell you next Okay, what's going to happen? So
if you want to know, stay here. Okay, So in
our last ten minutes of the show, ten minutes, the
last ten minutes of thirty three years, I just want
(29:40):
to tell the whale joke.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
No, I'm kidding, abut not.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Oh, We've got a lot of requests for it.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
Not not.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
But I do do corporate events. So if you want
me to come to your corporate event tell the whale joke.
I got a thirty minute version of it, so choking,
nobody's laughing.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
No oh, I was prepared for it. I actually wanted
you to do it. Honestly.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I love the joke there is. You know a lot
of people are saying, what is going to happen with
the show, and and that's a fair question. Well, first
of all, it's a holiday weekend, so nothing will happen
on Monday. There will be, like you know, lots of
music and that type of thing. But starting Tuesday, and
I think you're gonna be excited about this, Fallon and
(30:20):
Colt will be moving to the morning show. But before
you go, my gosh, what's going to happen to everybody else,
let me just tell this. There are going to be
some surprises. So I am not at liberty to say
what the surprises are. But Fallon and Colt, who do
a great job in the afternoon, will come and do
(30:40):
the morning show. But there will be other things. There
will be other surprises, and that's really all I can
tell you.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Are you sure?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I'm so tempted to make a bad joke. I hate quiet.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
I was trying to break the silence attention.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
But but I'm so happy for a fallon and cult
and I think people will love their show. And maybe
you've never listened to him before, give them a chance.
I think a lot of people have listened to them.
So but then there are other surprises as well that
I can't tell you, which I feel weird about because
(31:21):
it shouldn't be It shouldn't be me that has to
like announce you know what's going on. But I think
people look at me as like, Okay, you're the big
mouth on the station. How about you tell.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
Us, oh yeah, and people want us to know what
was coming next after you.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
People also want a farewell speech from you.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, you have to once off at a one time.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
You know.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I always tell people when you make a speech, never
wing it. I always say, you know, write it. Plant.
Susan my wife the other day, come over here for
one second because you've been she hates being on the radio.
Come unless she's got some making fun of me about
something about have to wear a bib or around the house,
because I do wear a bib when I eat.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Carson.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
You saw me put on a bib last night because
I get food all over myself. What did you tell me?
You asked the other day, you said, are you going
to like? What are you going to say?
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Right? Yeah, I did, yeah, And.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
What did you think I was going to say?
Speaker 9 (32:15):
I wasn't sure it could go anyway, so surprise to us.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
All I said. I haven't written anything. I haven't done anything.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
I haven't written anything. I said.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I always tell people plan your speech, don't wing it,
because it doesn't always go well. But for this one,
I think that, first of all, over the course of
the last week and especially the last couple of days,
I've kind of said all that I wanted to say,
but I guess I have to kind of sum it
up here, which I'm I'm more than happy to do.
And first of all, it's about the people. It's all
(32:46):
about the people. And when I say people, I mean
the people that worked on the show and the people
like you who listened to the show. And I always say,
whether you've listened for like, you know, a week, or
thirty three years or somewhere in between, it's we need
each other. We need each other.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
I need you.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
You needed someone like this radio station, something like this
radio station, And that's why you're here to fill a
certain hole or gap or whatever it is in your life.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
And I think that radio is so good at doing that.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
And I'm honored and so happy that we may have
been able to help you fill that gap of whether
it's loneliness, or you need a laugh, or you need
some company, or you're on a road trip, or you
just want some fun, or you want to hear War
of the Roses. We need each other. But I'll also
say that about the people who have worked here on
the show. So many people that have been on the
show the last couple of days, they've been saying thank you,
(33:40):
thank you, thank you for all you've done for me,
And I'm like, no, thank you for all you've done
for me. Like Lena comes up, She's like, you took
me from a bank teller to now she's like a
big deal and lives in New York. Fallon was a
hillbilly and she still is, but now she's got a
big afternoon show and she's like thank you. And and
(34:00):
intern John, you know, he was like a goofy kid
with you know, like ambition when vaunt and and and
people say thank you, and I'm like, no it. We
need each other because I needed you. There's no way
that I could have come here and done any of
this without the wonderful, amazing people that that have been
here on the show. You know, Bailey and I needed
(34:23):
each other, Jenny and I and Vaunt and I needed
just kind of like you need your partner, you need
each other.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
So I have needed you, You've needed me.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I'm sad because I don't know how bad I'm going
to miss doing this. But at the same time, I
think I've matured to the point where I don't need
to be fed with attention anymore.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
Like we love attention.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
We all love attention, positive attention, not stalker attention, but
positive attention. Yeah uh, but we all love positive attention.
And and I think as I've gotten old, are and
more mature, I don't feel the need to seek attention.
I hope, because I get fed. My heart and soul
(35:11):
gets fed from other things, you know, the family and Bernie,
not Roger. We're not close, but.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
That's Susan's cat.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
That's that's Susan's camp. But the kids and the family
and adventures and the people who have listened. And I
still hope that you know, I'll still be on Instagram
and Facebook, and I don't know that I'll be on
there as much, but I'll be on there once in
a while. And I appreciate all the dms. And by
the way, if you want to reach out to me
for anything, try to reach me at Ryan Show at
(35:41):
KTIWB dot com and I will try to answer every email.
I don't know how many I'm gonna get. If I'm
going to get fifteen hundred, I might not be able
to answer all of them, but I will read every
one of them. And if you need me for anything,
let me know. And you can also get a cameo
because I make eleven or twelve bucks from each cameo,
and that's not it it because I'm on a fixed income.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Yeah, So.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I I'm gonna play one last song here in a second,
and I play this song because I love this song,
because I never knew this song that's twenty twenty five
years old had such a positive message, but it really
does have such a sweet, positive message in a song
that doesn't sound like it's a sentimental song at all,
but it's just a happy, upbeat song that reminds you, hey,
(36:27):
keep going, it's fine. It's just a little snail, a
little like a bump in the road. And I will
go ahead and tell you this one more thing that
I remember that you know, we all have hills to climb.
And about ten years ago at boy Scout Camp, Carson
remembers phil Mont Scout Ranch and all the hiking up hills,
and I was like, God, this hill goes up forever.
And then it dawned on me that no hill goes
up forever. It eventually levels off. So in life, that's
(36:49):
your hill. There's metaphors for hills. Sometimes you're climbing a
hill and it's a bitch and you're like, man, this
hill is never going to end. Let me assure you,
it will eventually end. In nearly all cases, it's gonna
level out and go down to your coach down the
other side. But just one there's gonna be another hill
on the other side. But no hill goes up forever.
And that's kind of the message of this song that
(37:10):
I will leave you with on a positive note. But
I have to say, and I can't say it enough,
thank you for being here. Because you are we need
each other. We all need each other, So thank you
for being here. And I appreciate you so much. And
(37:34):
in the words of a very famous comedian. I will
say these are not my words. I'm gonna steal them
from him, but I think it's appropriate. I will say
thanks for the memories, and I really mean that
