Episode Transcript

(00:00):
We are live at seven o fourin the morning on kd WB on the
iHeartRadio app and also on your regularradio. Thanks for listening. It's Dave,
Jenny, Vaunt and Bailey on KTWGB. We have a major announcement from
Vaughn and we already know what itis. We know what it is,
We've known for a couple of days, but Vont wants to announce this himself,

(00:22):
so whenever you are ready. I'mlokey getting chills just thinking about it.
Okay, my big announcement I postedon my Instagram last night at vant
leek, just trying to see whatpeople thought it was. And a lot
of people they guessed that while Iwas on my Jamaica trip last week,
because I was there with my familyand my girlfriend Alyssa, my cousin.
Everybody thinks that I proposed to mygirlfriend Alyssa, and I'm here to confirm

(00:49):
that did not happen. No ring, So what's my announcement? A lot
of people have asked. Another oneof the theories is that am I moving
or am I leaving Katie w Bwhich is crazy because in a couple of
weeks it'll be a year that I'vebeen at katw B and in Minnesota.
It's been a year since I've movedhalfway across the country, left my family

(01:11):
and left my girlfriend to start thenight show. And it's been great,
don't get me wrong, But alot changes in a year. So I'm
here to one else today that aftera year of leaving my girlfriend and doing
long distance and leaving my family andbeing here in Minnesota, I am no
longer alone because my girlfriend has officiallymoved to Minnesota. About time, don't

(01:38):
about time? Yeah? Good good. I felt bad for Vaught because you
know, it's it's hard to makefriends, and you know, Vont would
do a lot of things alone,and I would look at his like Instagram
and he'd be at a brewery alone, or he'd be like, you know,
playing bingo at the church alone,like you'd ever you know, we
met anyway, like I go tochurch. Yes, So yeah, that
that's great. I think having apartner is one of the most joyful things.

(02:01):
And that's great because now you gotsomebody to go get a pizza with,
and you got somebody to like helpyou clean up, and you got
somebody to go for a walk with. Eron Yes, whatever, simple.
It's so like this past year,just like learning to be by myself.
It's cool, don't get me wrong, because it's something I've never done,

(02:22):
like been halfway across the country withoutanybody. And I remember the first time
I went home after moving. Itwas so weird, literally just sitting at
a table with my family to eatbecause I ate dinner by myself every day
for however long. So now,like my girlfriend, I know we've had
this convo of like, well,you propose to get her to move here,
will she get a job. Shegot a great job. I can
say what it is. She's adirector at Caro Levin, which is a

(02:46):
crazy, like great job for herto happen. Yeah, it is.
He's like a directory. This meansthe one who's like camera two, take
two, camera three, take three, that type of thing when you watch
Sunrise or News at Noon, allthose shows on Carolevin. She's the one
behind the scenes making that happen,which is crazy. That's how it.
Lyssa and I met in TV cluband we both have communication degrees. So

(03:07):
the fact that you know, I'mout here living my dream on KATWB,
now she's doing her dream. I'mjust I could not be more happy.
Hey, it's so, I havea couple of questions for you. You
ever lived with anybody else in yourentire life and don't count college roommates?
No? Never, never? Okay, So I've never lived with a girlfriend

(03:28):
ever until Susan and I moved intogether in Arizona. I was like twenty
seven, she was like twenty threeor so, and it was pretty easy
because we knew each other. Butare there any tips or anything that you've
run into already? Like she's madbecause you leave dirty dishes in the sink,
or you don't unload the dishwasher becauseyou pretend that you don't know the

(03:49):
dishwasher needs to be unloaded. Thatis a couple's trick. Cod I didn't
unload the dishwasher because I didn't knowthat I needed. Now I didn't clean
up the dog poop because I didn'tknow too. Oh. I know it's
a no, but it's a greatcouple's trick. You you're the problem.
I am the problem. So whatadvice would you give de vaughan move it
in with a partner for the firsttime in his life. I would say,

(04:12):
I would say, when you getup to get yourself a drink or
to get yourself a handful of chips, bring something for her, and always
ask if she wants anything. Yeah, and just a little tip. It's
just nice. What about you,Bailey, you've lived with a guy I
have, I would say, andthis is me kind of being crabby patty
about it, but have your ownspace and or like recognize that sometimes she

(04:35):
needs her own space because if you'realways in the same space, you'll both
like get sick of each other eventhough you're in love and it's so great,
Like I know you're probably in asmall apartment, so like if I
don't know, one of you's inthe living room and the other one is
in the bedroom, just like,have somewhere to go so you can be
alone. Because okay, you shouldn'tbe together every waking moment, I don't

(04:58):
think. And you have to agreeon that too, because some people are
like, you know, I don'twant to be with you all the time,
and other one's like, buy it, but I love you, you
should want to be with me allthe time. I gotta give it real
quick before I forget. A Happybirthday shout out to Winston who was turning
one years old and he listens everymorning on the way into daycare, and
I love that so much. Winston, what do you what advice would you
give Devant? Send me a textor call me and let me know.

(05:20):
The phone number is six five onenine eight nine KTWB or text us at
kd WB one. Jenny, you'velived with Andrew now for three or four
years something like that. Yeah,I would say, don't keep tallies on
what each of you does, becauseI think when you're like, oh,
you know, I've been vacuuming somuch more than you, and I've done
the dishes and I've mowed the lawn. I mean, I know you don't

(05:41):
have all those things, but youdon't have dishes. It's dumb because you
don't always notice when they're doing it. And I'm the one who's guilty of
that in our relationship. I don'talways notice when Andrew does like helpful things
around the house as much as henotices when I do it. So I
think that, like, that's agood thing to not keep tallies. Could
I ask does that also go withmoney, Like I paid for this,

(06:01):
so you should pay for that,because I've heard that some couples do that.
But I've also heard his toxic.I'm not a good person to ask
about that because I'm very much afifty to fifty split for things, and
I'm very like strict on that whenI buy groceries, I venmo him or
he venmos me, and vice versa. Some people are very different about that.
So I don't know. That justdepends what tips would you give.

(06:25):
Von He just announce a minute agothat he is his girlfriend who Lissa now
lives here. She works over it. Carrie Levin is a television director.
That's super cool, and so we'relike, Okay, that's great. Good
for you. You're no longer alone. You've got a partner. And I
think that if you have a partner, it's just if you want one,
you're gonna have now somebody who's alwaysthere to go to a wedding with,

(06:47):
go to a birthday party with.When you get invited to a friend's barbecue,
you've got somebody to go with.And vonn is you know, he's
had a girlfriend, he just didn'thave her around. Yeah, so what
advice would you give a couple oftimes, there's a bunch of text messages.
First of all, know each other'sweaknesses. My husband sucks at laundry,

(07:08):
but I suck at yard work.I don't know how your husband could
suck at laundry unless he's pretending tosuck at laundry because he maybe just doesn't
want to do it. How canyou suck at laundry? You load it
up, you put him in vaguelydifferent colors, You stick it in the
machine, You pour a tide inthere, tide pod, you push start,
you take it out, stick itin the dryer. Okay, I

(07:30):
don't know. Weaponized incompetence. Icould talk about it forever, but I'm
not going to weaponizing incompetence. Okay, remember to put the toilet seat down,
von put the toilet seat down.And anytime you shave your face and
there's little black hairs everywhere in thesink, wash those down the freaking drain.
That's a good one. Yeah,oh my god, I think that.
And also, no blue balls atoothpaste in the sink. I mean,

(07:51):
seriously, maybe you're okay with yourown blob of blue toothpaste in the
sink. Yeah, I am not. I have Susan has done that before,
and I'm like, I think thatI had to convince her. I
want to see that. I won'tsee that. It's been okay so far,
Like it's people were like, isshe finally gonna move? I've kept
it on the low. She movedtwo weeks ago. Uh, but we
you know, Jamaica and everything.The only thing so far that we're learning

(08:13):
about each other is like the littleShe was like, oh, be ready
for me to fart around you.I was like, okay, yes,
not like the wow. There's couplesof disagree on that one. I disagree
on that one. But anyway,we'll be back in a second. What
do you think what advice did Whatdid you learn when you moved in with
somebody that you were not expecting?What do you wish you had known before

(08:37):
you moved in with somebody? HelloCharlie, Hey guys, and good morning.
What advice would you give devauant foranybody who's moving in with somebody for
the first time. I think it'sadvice an keep skating each other. So
you've been telling the invisible strings thelast year, doing special things to keep
actroduction going, and just as you'reliving together doesn't mean to stop trying.

(09:01):
So still be romantic, Still goto play mini golf, Still buy your
flowers, still take her for walks, still buy her little things down at
the dollar store. So I thinkthat's true because I think a lot of
couples just like, oh, well, we see each other all the time,
why do I need to tell youI love you? That's like being
roommates At that point. I feellike if you're just like hanging out all

(09:22):
the time and seeing each other,that's just being roommates versus like going out
on dates as means you're really likeconsidering the relationship. Do you want me
to take a list out on adate on nights you're busy? Thank you
trying to be friendly? You cango play golf with my dad. Davis
ruined, like, what this iswhat I'm nervous about that. You know,

(09:45):
I don't know how long it's gonnatake, but I'm gonna be excited
about it. We're gonna be allin love doing cute things. Then the
novelty will wear off. Because youand I were talking one day about when
you somebody walks past their partners andsees them naked however many years and slap
their ass. You were like,no, that wears off. I don't
do that. What seasons slap Susan'sby. I do absolutely. If she's
walking from the bathroom into the bedroomand I'm going the other way and we're

(10:07):
both naked, well, sometimes wedon't even say anything, and sometimes I
give her a smack on the maskbecause it's funny. Yeah, but you
do it as a bit, notlike, hey, you're going You're right,
it's a bit exactly. Lauren's onthe phone. Advice for bunt Lauren
or anybody that's moving in for thefirst time. What do you got,

(10:28):
Hi, Lauren? Hi? Kindof going off of that, don't forget
to sign quality time. So it'skind of going off of that. Just
because you're living with one another doesn'tmean that that's quality time. So doing
the little things, writing little notes, it doesn't have to cost money.
And I think also knowing how eachother handles when each other's angry, so

(10:52):
if they want to talk it outor if they need some space. I
read that somewhere that is so smart. Lauren. Find out how somebody fights
and this is because somebody. Somepeople get mad and they're fighting and arguing
about money or you spent this thenwhatever that. Some people want to throw
things, some people want to likepush you down the stairs. Some people
want to scream and yell, andother people just want to give you the

(11:13):
silent treatment. And then about aday later you'll give you'll have an excuse
to talk to them, like,hey, is the refrigerator still in the
kitchen? You know, something stupidjust to start like, Okay, I'm
going to mend the fence with you. So that's true, because I mean,
how does your partner, Lauren,how does your partner fight? He

(11:33):
time to need some space and thenwe come back and talk it out later.
A really good strategy is going ona walk and walking side by side
so you don't have to necessarily talkto the person one on one looking at
them. It's a lot easier totalk things if you're walking side by side
going on a walk. Oh yeah, thank you, Lauren. Wise advice.

(11:54):
Vaughn is moving. His girlfriend justmoved in, and we're trying to
help Van out. He's twenty threeyears old, never had to live in
roommate romantic roommate before, so we'relike trying to give him some tips.
Uhlivy, Hi, Livy, Hi, what's good morning? What is your
tip for Van? Yeah? Sohe can't write up money briefly, and

(12:16):
you know, money is like thetopping couples fight about, and so it's
about like that's even just okay,you paid this, so I pay that
bill, But like really talk abouthow do your philosophies around money, Like
what happens were you raised to thinkabout money around and like you know,
you have to like keep it thosedeeper than just kind of that surface level

(12:37):
to really consider. You know,if if x YT situation happens, like
we have this huge emergency bill comeup, how is you know, how
is that gonna affect you, likeyour stress level, your emotions, your
all of that. Everybody has adifferent attitude about money in the same way
a lot of people have a differentattitude about food or sex or vacation or
relatives. So you might think,well, everybody thinks about money the way

(13:00):
that I do. You save andthen when you need something, you have
some money. I've known people inmy family that as soon as they get
one hundred dollars in their pocket,they got to blow it. They cannot
wait to blow it. Looking atyou, Donna, Donna would look at
like one hundred dollars in the pocketor two hundred dollars in your pocket,
and she'll she feels like, Ithink she's going to lose it anyway,
so she might as well spend it. So therefore she did lose it exactly.

(13:24):
So some people have a really toxicrelationship finances. Sometimes you want to
keep them separate. Now, yeah, I get that. Susan and I
agree on most things money wise.Once in a while she'll buy something really
stupid, but then again, I'vegot you, I do, I've got
about I've got about five unopened MagicTrick packages on my desk right now,
