Speaker 1: Is it gonna get real cold? So when he says, like,
Speaker 1: like we haven't had in thirty years, what about the cold?
Speaker 1: Because right now it's not bad. It's ten, which is
Speaker 1: not good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's only going to like basically go down.
Speaker 1: Like all the weekend or forever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, ever, ever until about July. But no, Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: like maybe it'll.
Speaker 3: Get a little bit warmer, but then this afternoon's going
Speaker 3: to drop down and then I think we're seeing like highs,
Speaker 3: well not highs in the negatives, but lows in the negative.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I think it's a high of.
Speaker 1: Zero, murder, a high of zero tomorrow of zero. Wall.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I've got to go. I can't say where I'm going
Speaker 1: because that would give away when I'm getting somebody for Christmas. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not, Bailey. Turn your turn your headphones off and
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Okay, oh yeah, okay, plug your ears,
Speaker 1: plug your ears.
Speaker 2: Yeah okay.
Speaker 1: So I got her a care of cat cat slippers
Speaker 1: cats because she loves cats, and a cat trivia calendar,
Speaker 1: like one of those desk calendars. Back to us, Bailey,
Speaker 1: there we go. So don't tell her, don't text her
Speaker 1: and tell her what it is. Hate it. Bailey is
Speaker 1: a good performer. So when Bailey opens it, she'll be
Speaker 1: like wow.
Speaker 2: Awkward because she hates getting gifts.
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 4: I do hate getting gifts, but I'll still smile about it.
Speaker 4: I'll be like, wow, thank you.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the ad where it's like, well you
Speaker 1: drew her dad in the Christmas gift exchange? And Dad's
Speaker 1: sitting there all grumpy in his chair and he's got
Speaker 1: a box on his lap and he opens it up.
Speaker 1: It's one of those fairy gun massagers and he looks
Speaker 1: at the sun like, this is the stupidest gift. And
Speaker 1: I thought, what an a hole of a dad? You
Speaker 1: don't I don't care if he gives you a dirty plate,
Speaker 1: you go, wow, this is this is a beautiful dirty plate.
Speaker 1: And then later you go, what the F is this?
Speaker 1: But you haven't seen that commercial? No, you gotta watch
Speaker 1: more TV.
Speaker 4: Well you have regular TV and you don't haven Ese
Speaker 4: don't have regular TV with I don't.
Speaker 1: I got Hulu. Don't you watch local channels on Hulu?
Speaker 2: Na, No, we don't watch local channels period.
Speaker 1: Why aren't you watching local channels? You're missing America's Funniest
Speaker 1: videos With Alfonso you're missing Alfonso Robero on Friday, on
Speaker 1: Saturday Sunday night, I.
Speaker 2: Miss on Hulu. What I can watch that on Hulu?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you watch local channels on Hulu.
Speaker 3: Somebody who listens to the show is giving me their
Speaker 3: Hulu login. But I think I got logged out and
Speaker 3: now I can't get.
Speaker 2: Back in, So.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the.
Speaker 3: Year of the snake, because that's what twenty twenty five is.
Speaker 3: And if you haven't heard anything about this, it's probably
Speaker 3: because you have a different algorithm than me.
Speaker 2: But I want to.
Speaker 3: Talk about it because basically, twenty twenty five is what
Speaker 3: they call a snake here. It's also a nine year,
Speaker 3: which means when you add up the numbers in twenty.
Speaker 2: Twenty five, the equal nine.
Speaker 1: Ooh.
Speaker 3: So a nine year equals completion, a snake here equals shedding.
Speaker 2: So what is the snake here exactly? They say it's.
Speaker 3: Everything that's false, expired or outgrown is going to fall away.
Speaker 3: And then a nine year brings completion, closure, endings that
Speaker 3: feel final, things run out of life force likeles complete themselves,
Speaker 3: old identities dissolved, And I have never related more to
Speaker 3: anything in my life because let me tell you, it
Speaker 3: was a year of endings and a year of new
Speaker 3: things that have come about, but mostly it was a
Speaker 3: big year of endings for me. And I'm wondering if
Speaker 3: anyone else was experiencing this, because they also say that
Speaker 3: a snake year, a nine year is a pretty difficult
Speaker 3: year too, because when things end, usually it's a sad thing,
Speaker 3: you know, like for the most part, unless you needed
Speaker 3: to end it.
Speaker 4: Right, unless it's like an era of your life that
Speaker 4: you're right, okay, goodbye life.
Speaker 3: But I know you, guys said when I asked you
Speaker 3: about this, if you have heard about it. Dave was like,
Speaker 3: I have no idea what that is. But Bailey, have
Speaker 3: you heard I don't know.
Speaker 2: I haven't.
Speaker 4: I heard it like on maybe like a clip, like
Speaker 4: one singular clip talking about it. But it is definitely
Speaker 4: more of a your algorithm kind of thing than a
Speaker 4: my algorithm kind of a thing. And I don't say
Speaker 4: that with any kind of hate.
Speaker 2: No, I don't know at all.
Speaker 3: I know that it sounds woo but like I feel
Speaker 3: like when I see all these explanations of it, it
Speaker 3: really does make sense to me because it has been
Speaker 3: a very different year than I've had in the last
Speaker 3: like handful of Yeah.
Speaker 2: So for me it makes sense.
Speaker 3: And I know it's like according to Chinese calendar and
Speaker 3: stuff like that, where it's like, okay, you you're relating
Speaker 3: to it because you might have specifically related to you
Speaker 3: that year, But have you ever related to the Chinese
Speaker 3: calendar on anything else?
Speaker 2: Probably not.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Yeahs you'll read your horscope and
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, kind of yeah, yeah, I guess yeah.
Speaker 3: We apparently like according to all of the stuff that
Speaker 3: I've been seeing, you're supposed to just be releasing things
Speaker 3: this year. So if you feel like twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: took you, buy the hair, ran you down the road,
Speaker 3: toss you around a little bit, and spitch you out
Speaker 3: it because it's the year of the Snake and it's
Speaker 3: a nine year.
Speaker 4: I looked it up for twenty twenty six and it
Speaker 4: says twenty twenty six is the year of the horse,
Speaker 4: specifically the fire horse, and that brings in themes of
Speaker 4: bold action, freedom, passion, and progress after the Snake's focus.
Speaker 1: That again, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: Yes, So it says the year of the fire Horse
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six, bringing themes of bold action, freedom,
Speaker 4: passion and progress.
Speaker 1: Bold action, freedom, passion and progress. Yeah. Now the thing
Speaker 1: about this is like it it cannot apply to everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe twenty twenty five was a wonderful, beautiful
Speaker 1: year for you and it doesn't apply. But it's kind
Speaker 1: of fun to play with a little bit.
Speaker 5: Why not.
Speaker 1: Take what resonates and leave what doesn't, says this text,
Speaker 1: And I think that is kind of true and that
Speaker 1: resonated with you.
Speaker 4: That was my favorite part of going to like any
Speaker 4: Chinese restaurant though, is the like a place mat that
Speaker 4: they have with all of the different animals on it
Speaker 4: so you could see, like which animal that like you were? Yeah,
Speaker 4: you'd be like, ooh, I'm the horse, tiger tiger I
Speaker 4: think remember.
Speaker 2: Is it based off your birth month?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think you're a horse too. No, not your birth month,
Speaker 2: your birth.
Speaker 1: Year really yeah, birth year.
Speaker 2: Just because I have a horse, since it doesn't mean
Speaker 2: that I.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't say, I wouldn't say you have a horse face,
Speaker 1: But there the wreath around your neck is very flattering.
Speaker 1: It's very flattering. And I love her new saddle. I
Speaker 1: love that the saddle really works on you. Thank you
Speaker 1: all right, We'd be back NonStop. Commercial free. In a
Speaker 1: second on Katie B. We're gonna talk about we got
Speaker 1: a Christmas wish. We have a debate. Some people are
Speaker 1: one side of this and some Susan and I disagree
Speaker 1: on this. We have from the word go. She insists
Speaker 1: on I do it this way. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: do it that way. I didn't grow up doing it
Speaker 1: that way. And this is something every budy has to
Speaker 1: decide on. I don't want to hear what you think
Speaker 1: coming up on that. We'll tell you what that's all about.
Speaker 1: Christmas Wish. Stay here on KDB on Katy w B.
Speaker 1: We are back one hour commercial free on kt B
Speaker 1: Vaanson Jersey with the family. He's such a family oriented
Speaker 1: kind of a person. He's like, oh man, I love
Speaker 1: my family, love this, love to see my dad, love
Speaker 1: to see my mom, my little sister, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So he's off with his family in New Jersey and I.
Speaker 3: Haven't talked to my dad in six months, nine big
Speaker 3: seven zero.
Speaker 1: So I did call him, did you How did the
Speaker 1: conversation go in? How far into the conversation did you
Speaker 1: bring up weather? Because when you talk to your parents,
Speaker 1: unless you're like really really close and a lot of
Speaker 1: people aren't good. It's like it sure has been cold,
Speaker 1: and oh, it's only going to get cold. Or how
Speaker 1: long into the conversation did weather come up.
Speaker 3: It was probably like five minutes in, but only because
Speaker 3: he was telling me about his plans for like that
Speaker 3: day and then the next day.
Speaker 2: And then he was saying, like, we it was the
Speaker 2: day we.
Speaker 3: Got hit with the big snow storm, and then they
Speaker 3: were getting hit with it the next day in Wisconsin.
Speaker 3: So he was talking about all of his plans for
Speaker 3: his birthday and then how he had to do this
Speaker 3: and that that day because tomorrow they're going to get
Speaker 3: a bunch of snow.
Speaker 1: That's the way it is. That's how it is. We
Speaker 1: are going to go right to the big debate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this is something Susan and I disagree with. I
Speaker 1: wear my shoes into the house. I wear them into
Speaker 1: the house. Susan does not like that. I wear him
Speaker 1: into the house. She'll be like, see you made much
Speaker 1: spots on the floor. Ah, And I'm like, that's the
Speaker 1: way I grew up. I mean, we grew up ot
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere, and I don't know why,
Speaker 1: but we always wore our shoes in the house. And
Speaker 1: sometimes when you go to somebody's house, you see like
Speaker 1: other people's shoes by the front door, or you look
Speaker 1: at the homeowner's feet, and if they're in their socks,
Speaker 1: you take your shoes off. I was at my cousin
Speaker 1: Vicki and Jay's a couple of weeks ago in Colorado,
Speaker 1: and I would have thought I would have pegged them
Speaker 1: is definitely take your shoes off in the house. They
Speaker 1: were wearing their shoes in the house. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I love this, Jenny. Where do you fall shoes in
Speaker 1: the house or.
Speaker 2: No shoes off? Please?
Speaker 3: Please, don't thank you, especially at this time where you're
Speaker 3: tracking your snow and your dirt and your mud and
Speaker 3: your gush and whatever all over the place.
Speaker 2: Take your shoes off.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but I don't want to clean my floors constantly.
Speaker 3: And I yes, I do have mostly hardwood floors, but
Speaker 3: I also have carpet and rugs that you'll be standing on.
Speaker 1: So take your shoes off, baby.
Speaker 4: I feel like it's just ingrained in me at this point,
Speaker 4: like anytime you go to anyone's house growing up, you
Speaker 4: have to take your shoes off, which I feel like
Speaker 4: is a very Minnesota thing.
Speaker 1: It must be a minute in Colorado. Nobody took their
Speaker 1: shoes off now and it wasn't not a disrespect. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's just the way it was. Now.
Speaker 4: It feels like a novelty when you walk in and
Speaker 4: you go to take your shoes off and they say, oh,
Speaker 4: don't worry, you don't have to.
Speaker 1: Take your shoes off.
Speaker 2: And then you're like, heck.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, because your shoes usually like finish your outfit,
Speaker 4: especially if you're going to like a holiday party or
Speaker 4: something and you're dressed real nice and then you have
Speaker 4: these beautiful shoes on. But then like you take them
Speaker 4: off and you're wearing these like dopey socks, like, oh, man,
Speaker 4: well now I look like an idiot.
Speaker 1: That is the truth. Because we'll go to like the
Speaker 1: neighbor's holiday party and like, you know, there's thirty people there,
Speaker 1: there's thirty stacks of thirty pair of shoes stacked by
Speaker 1: the front door, and.
Speaker 4: That's kind of ugly in my humble opinion. All right,
Speaker 4: well you got a stack of coat, stack of shoes.
Speaker 1: We ask people on Facebook, do you let people come
Speaker 1: into your house with their shoes on? Deb said, leave
Speaker 1: your shoes on. I don't want your socks to get dirty.
Speaker 1: Got mostly tile floors, and I work hard outside. If
Speaker 1: we cook our shoes off every time, we wouldn't get
Speaker 1: anything done. Cheryl Keller says, I have brand new carpet,
Speaker 1: so take your sho shoes off summer and winter. Liz says,
Speaker 1: leave them off, put them by the door, please, and
Speaker 1: thank you. Another one, Chelsea, no shoes in the house.
Speaker 1: My kids crawl on these floors, yeah, which I guess.
Speaker 1: Megan says, you know, it's not the end of the world.
Speaker 1: Floors can be cleaned. That being said, when people come
Speaker 1: over for a significant time, they take their shoes off.
Speaker 1: Short time we keep them on. We usually are standing
Speaker 1: around the island anyway, so it's surrounded by laminate. When
Speaker 1: I go to other people's houses, though I do ask,
Speaker 1: you feel little bit weird asking should I take my
Speaker 1: shoes off, knowing that it implies that you don't really
Speaker 1: want to yeah. But if they go yeah, if you
Speaker 1: don't mind, then it's kind of like fine.
Speaker 4: A lot of people are texting and saying that they
Speaker 4: have like inside shoes, or they have little slippers that
Speaker 4: they put on once you walk into their house. So
Speaker 4: many people are saying, I have inside shoes that I
Speaker 4: take my outside shoes off and I put on the
Speaker 4: inside shoes. But if I'm hosting a party, I'm not
Speaker 4: providing inside shoes for everybody.
Speaker 1: If you should, You said that sounds those little sack things,
Speaker 1: a little stretchy things like the zero res guy wears
Speaker 1: when he comes by your house.
Speaker 4: It's not a little stretching SOCKI things, and then we
Speaker 4: can all slide around.
Speaker 3: This specifically says have you ever been to a men's
Speaker 3: urinal with your shoes on and then walked in your
Speaker 3: house disgusting pee and pooh all over your house floors?
Speaker 5: Ew.
Speaker 1: That is a very good point. It is a bunch
Speaker 1: of text messages. Alexis is from the South. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if she means Albert Lee or Dallas, but she
Speaker 1: says we don't take our shoes off unless they're muddy.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is kind of a regional thing. Another one says,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of text messages shoes must come off.
Speaker 1: Think of all the germs you're tracking into the house
Speaker 1: every time you walk into the bathroom or pump gas.
Speaker 1: I do not want poop, spit, and gas in my home.
Speaker 5: Spit.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of good points on this one.
Speaker 1: Text messages, Yes, we have three great Danes and they
Speaker 1: make the floor more dirty than shoes. Plus it's only
Speaker 1: heard wood floors, so it's an easy cleanup. So Carinne says,
Speaker 1: go ahead and wear the shoes in the house.
Speaker 4: Yeah, someone else is. If it doesn't snow, leave the
Speaker 4: shoes on. Otherwise you will go home with hair on
Speaker 4: your socks from all of our pets.
Speaker 2: Like, I totally get that.
Speaker 1: This one says, I clean homes. Take your shoes off.
Speaker 1: The mop water tells all I know when people don't
Speaker 1: take their shoes off because the mop water is that dirty.
Speaker 1: What do you think? Do you take your shoes off
Speaker 1: or do you leave them on? The big debate?
Speaker 4: No, I want little inside shoes now, I can keep
Speaker 4: like cult.
Speaker 1: White like little slippers by the doors.
Speaker 4: I do own a pair of slippers, but sometimes like
Speaker 4: you're wearing them inside and then you end up thinking,
Speaker 4: oh crap, I gotta go to Walgreens really quick and
Speaker 4: get something, and then you wear your slippers out so
Speaker 4: talk they're outside.
Speaker 3: You've never done that before, but I know someone that
Speaker 3: I used to live with who did would do that.
Speaker 3: And just completely forget that they were wearing their slippers.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, how do you forget? I don't forget,
Speaker 3: you just forget comfort. Yeah, I mean, may Doe wear
Speaker 3: my sleeper, my sleepers, I wear my first all year round,
Speaker 3: our year artist.
Speaker 1: Somebody says, I'm Asian, and it's really common for people
Speaker 1: to have slippers out for themselves and for their guests,
Speaker 1: so they can take off their shoes at the front
Speaker 1: door and slip into slippers easily.
Speaker 4: We wanna go to like a bougie house where they like,
Speaker 4: please take off your outdoor shoes and put on these
Speaker 4: indoor shoes. And they're all like ug slippers. They're all fancy,
Speaker 4: and we have various sizes. Please pick whichever one's best
Speaker 4: to you. Thank you for coming to our home.
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. Send me a text
Speaker 1: at KDWB one. All right, we're gonna do Dave's dirt.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get done to finish with Dave's dirt, We're
Speaker 1: gonna get right into a live Christmas wish. Alyssa is
Speaker 1: next door doing a Christmas wish in just a moment.
Speaker 1: But we got some dirt to catch up on. Let's
Speaker 1: get started and show one on one point three kd
Speaker 1: WB Kelly Clarkson is gonna do this song on Christmas
Speaker 1: Day at an NFL game. I love this is my
Speaker 1: probably my favorite current Newish Christmas song. And by the way,
Speaker 1: a little fun fact, the nineteen fifty two the Catholic
Speaker 1: Church condemned a Christmas song that is now a classic.
Speaker 1: You probably could guess it if you thought long enough.
Speaker 1: But in nineteen fifty two, the Catholic Church condemned a
Speaker 1: Christmas song that you actually hear all the time. Anybody
Speaker 1: want to take a guess? It's a tough one. If
Speaker 1: you had a list in front of you, you would
Speaker 1: be a come up with it.
Speaker 2: I really can't stay cold outside.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's a good one. That's a good
Speaker 1: one though. That's a good guess it is I saw
Speaker 1: Mommy kissing Santa Claus.
Speaker 2: Yeah there, yep.
Speaker 1: The church initially thought it condemned or condonned adult tree,
Speaker 1: and so they can they banned it or condemned that song.
Speaker 1: And now it's like, okay, the Santa Claus is you
Speaker 1: know the story.
Speaker 3: Okay, we all remember this guy named CSI. He had
Speaker 3: a song called Gangnam Style. I do have a little
Speaker 3: clip we could play of a song.
Speaker 1: Open Gam Star Gungam Star.
Speaker 2: THI is in trouble right now.
Speaker 3: South Korean law enforcement is investigating him for illegally obtaining
Speaker 3: obtaining the psychotropic drugs of Xanax and ambient so we couldgo.
Speaker 3: Detectives raided his office and conface scated his personal phone.
Speaker 3: Management said that they did cooperate with everything, but a
Speaker 3: doctor did prescribe the drugs to SI, but apparently he
Speaker 3: cut corners and obtaining them, which it's like, if you
Speaker 3: got the prescription, why are you doing that? But according
Speaker 3: to South Korean laws, I was required to personally visit
Speaker 3: the pharmacy. Instead for three years, he sent his manager
Speaker 3: to pick up his drugs. So he apologized for his
Speaker 3: clear mistake and explained that he's been treated for a
Speaker 3: chronic sleep disorder. So it sounds like South Korea is
Speaker 3: just a little bit more stricter than probably we might
Speaker 3: be around here in the United States. Like, if you
Speaker 3: have a manager that I guess I don't know about that,
Speaker 3: would you be able to send me to go pick
Speaker 3: up your drugs?
Speaker 1: Usually it's like his spouse or a family member, like
Speaker 1: I could send my wife or my daughter possibly to
Speaker 1: pick up a prescription. But if I have, like you know,
Speaker 1: Bailey drive through the CBCVS drive through, they'd probably be like,
Speaker 1: uh no.
Speaker 2: Jimmy Dave's meds.
Speaker 4: They'll be like, Bam, get out of here, give him
Speaker 4: to me. We've been talking a lot about Taylor Swift
Speaker 4: because it's her birthday tomorrow, she's turning thirty six. But
Speaker 4: a more important birthday in my humble opinion, also tomorrow
Speaker 4: is Dick Van Dyke. He is turning one hundred years old.
Speaker 4: Tomorrow is wild. So PBS has a special that's coming
Speaker 4: out called American Masters. It literally comes out tonight about
Speaker 4: Dick Van Dyke, and I was nervous about it, or
Speaker 4: not about that special, but about his birthday because he
Speaker 4: did write a book over the summer called one hundred
Speaker 4: Rules for Living to one Hundred, which was published already,
Speaker 4: and it feels like a little premature before you've turned
Speaker 4: one hundred.
Speaker 1: But he made it.
Speaker 4: He made it well, he'll make it tomorrow, and I
Speaker 4: fingy's crossed that he will make it to tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I believe it. I believe in him. This is really interesting.
Speaker 1: Time magazine always says their person of the year. Years ago,
Speaker 1: they used to call it Man of the Year, and
Speaker 1: then in the last few decades they changed it to
Speaker 1: Person of the Year. This time it doesn't go to
Speaker 1: a single leader, celebrity or public figure. They say the
Speaker 1: architects of AI are the person of the year. These
Speaker 1: are the people who imagined, designed, and built today's artificial
Speaker 1: intelligence system. They say that twenty twenty five was the
Speaker 1: year AI's potential roared interview becoming impossible to ignore. In
Speaker 1: his statement, the magazine praised the innovators for delivering the
Speaker 1: age of thinking machines, for wowing and worrying humanity, and
Speaker 1: for transforming the present while transcending the possible. And we
Speaker 1: have a rule here on Katie wd Be and all
Speaker 1: the iHeart stations that there's no AI. We don't do
Speaker 1: AI anything. We just don't because you don't want to
Speaker 1: hear an AI disc jockey. You don't want to hear
Speaker 1: AI music. Yeah, everything that we do is guaranteed human.
Speaker 2: And you can tell because we mess up occasionally too and.
Speaker 1: All the time, all the time. So that is the
Speaker 1: dirt is brought you by six one two Injured Himer
Speaker 1: and Lammer's injury Law. Let's get started with a Christmas
Speaker 1: wish and leave in the magic of the Holidays Dave
Speaker 1: Ryan's Christmas Wish. Hello, Alissa, Hi, You and I talked

Speaker 1: It does happen, Alyssa. Let's check in with our boys
Speaker 1: at Brandon. Brandon just came from the gym. Brandon was
Speaker 1: doing squats with a one hundred pound kettlebell. Doing squats
Speaker 1: with one hundred pound How many did you do? Brandon? Wait,

Speaker 1: many moves do you participate in a week? Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you back in the office crunching numbers, Brandon, I'm
Speaker 1: more in office. But back in the day, Brandon, you
Speaker 1: used to do a lot of the moving. Maybe correct? Oh, yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 2: When he was in college and had muscles.
Speaker 1: Brandon, thanks for what you do, and thanks to College
Speaker 1: Muscle Movers for delivering all of these wishes far and wide,

Speaker 1: of them, but there's still a couple that are kind
Speaker 1: of like, you know, we're deciding whether they're you know,
Speaker 1: like just the exact family that we want to help
Speaker 1: in that type of thing, the top one, then the
Speaker 1: bottom one. Then okay, gotcha. So with Christmas wish we
Speaker 1: get the person. Yeah, Hi, Hey is this Caitlin? Yeah, Caitlyn. Hi, surprise,

Speaker 1: and some of the challenges you're going through, and she
Speaker 1: nominated your family for a KDWB Christmas wish, a kind
Speaker 1: of a surprise. Yeah. Do you know what a Christmas
Speaker 1: wish is? Have you heard it on KDWB before. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Well she has told us about your situation, and we said,
Speaker 1: my gosh, we really want to help out this family
Speaker 1: with a Christmas wish. So your friend Alyssa wrote a
Speaker 1: very touching letter to us describing your challenges. Can she
Speaker 1: read this to you and on the radio, Caitlin, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: whenever you are ready, Alyssa, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Bringing cookies later. Sorry.
Speaker 1: Oh so you lied and said because we got to
Speaker 1: get the sures to stay home. The wish used to
Speaker 1: stay home and answer the phone. So you like the
Speaker 1: old a white lie that said, I'm gonna come bye
Speaker 1: with cookies. No cookies better than cookies, Caitlyn, I promise you.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay.
Speaker 6: Brian and Caitlin are more than friends, their family. For
Speaker 6: over twenty years we've shared.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's okay, take your time. We got
Speaker 1: plenty of time.
Speaker 6: Major milestones, but nothing prepared us for the real, rare
Speaker 6: terminal illness that their daughter Lany faces. Christmas wish for them,
Speaker 6: My Christmas wish for them is simply time. Time to
Speaker 6: enjoy leaning and keep creating memories to hold on to
Speaker 6: her forever.
Speaker 1: That's okay, You're doing great.
Speaker 6: In the midst of COVID, Delaney Jane joined their family.
Speaker 6: When she turned six months, they noticed she was falling
Speaker 6: a little behind hitting normal milestones. By nine months, she
Speaker 6: started to regress, losing the ability to set up, and
Speaker 6: a year she had a seizure in their home, which
Speaker 6: spiraled into a journey of countless appointments and tests. As
Speaker 6: they witnessed waited for answers, their baby continued to decline.
Speaker 6: Shortly after her second birthday, Lane was diagnosed officially within
Speaker 6: ad It was a diagnosis they never expected and forced
Speaker 6: them to accept in more in the life they hoped
Speaker 6: for for their sweet little girl. Laney is now five
Speaker 6: and continues to regress. They don't know how long they
Speaker 6: have left with her, as the disease is progressive and
Speaker 6: currently has no cure. Brian and Caitlin have chosen to
Speaker 6: focus entirely on love and quality of life, shifting away
Speaker 6: from constantes and hospital visits and concentrating instead on making
Speaker 6: every day they have left with me meaningful. Caitlyn left
Speaker 6: her dream job to stay home and care for her
Speaker 6: full time. Despite the daily physical, emotional, and financial tolle
Speaker 6: I've never heard them once complain. They remain incredibly positive,
Speaker 6: finding unexpected silver linings like extra cuddles and with You're
Speaker 6: saying how much joy Lay brings to everyone around her
Speaker 6: as a mom, especially during the extra chaos of the holidays,
Speaker 6: when I find myself fading into the background of carpool's
Speaker 6: laundry and the hustle of everyday parenting hurt drug. Thinking
Speaker 6: about everything you're doing for her, your strength, you're devotion,
Speaker 6: and your ability to keep showing up with love. It's
Speaker 6: something people will never see you or understand. I want
Speaker 6: you to know that I see you as a person,
Speaker 6: as a friend, and as the best of all. My
Speaker 6: Christmas wish for Brian, Caitlin and Lany's brother, Beckett is
Speaker 6: the most precious gift of all time. Time free from
Speaker 6: the burdens of everyday chores and stress, so they can
Speaker 6: simply be a family and continue creating a legacy of
Speaker 6: beautiful memories with Laney.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Hi. I know it's emotional, and you did
Speaker 1: a good job getting through that. That was a hard
Speaker 1: one to get through. Caitlin, I can't even imagine having
Speaker 1: little and she was about what five or six months
Speaker 1: old when you noticed something was just not as it
Speaker 1: should be, right, Yeah. Yeah, And now she's five and
Speaker 1: she has continued to regress, And from what I understand,
Speaker 1: you're kind of foregoing a lot of the tests and
Speaker 1: appointments and trips to the doctor just to enjoy and
Speaker 1: spend the time and create those memories with your lovely daughter. Yeah.
Speaker 7: But yeah, lady has been on.
Speaker 5: Hospice for about a year now, and we're very grateful
Speaker 5: that she is still with us, And like Alyssa said,
Speaker 5: she just with a neurow degenerative disease that you just
Speaker 5: kind of watch things decline and yeah, it's not easy,
Speaker 5: but we have people like Alyssa and our world that
Speaker 5: kind of keep us going.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and then you have you have a little
Speaker 1: Beckett is beck how old is Beckett?
Speaker 5: Is? Eight?
Speaker 4: Is?
Speaker 1: Eight? Is that Beckett in the background?
Speaker 7: It is?
Speaker 1: What's up? Buddy? Hi? Beckett?
Speaker 7: I'm second grade?
Speaker 1: Your second grade? Well, look at that, you're in second grade?
Speaker 1: Are you ready for Christmas? Beckett? That is awesome. I'm
Speaker 1: sure Santa will bring you some really cool stuff. We
Speaker 1: are going to bring your family some cool stuff with that.
Speaker 1: That's what Christmas wish is. And we know that we
Speaker 1: cannot take away the pain and the all the things
Speaker 1: that you're experiencing, but we want as Christmas wish. I
Speaker 1: think it serves us three things. Number One, it takes
Speaker 1: away from the daily challenges and pain for just a
Speaker 1: few minutes to let you smile a little bit and
Speaker 1: to be on Katie WB and hear all of these
Speaker 1: things that might make your and your family say a
Speaker 1: little bit brighter. Second of all, it lets you know
Speaker 1: that you're loved and supported, even if there were no
Speaker 1: gifts there, there would still be a lot of love
Speaker 1: and support. And I think another thing is that it
Speaker 1: really serves the purpose of is letting people realize, like
Speaker 1: you did, Alyssa, that when you have a problem with
Speaker 1: your you know, your low tire pressure light coming on,
Speaker 1: or you've got a driveway you have to shovel that
Speaker 1: things kind of fade with the perspective. And I think
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that does. But let's get
Speaker 1: back to those things that we want to help you
Speaker 1: with to make your Christmas a little bit brighter? Can
Speaker 1: we do that? Beckett? Listen up, buddy, because we got
Speaker 1: some things for you. Do you want Beckett to hear
Speaker 1: these things or do you want to keep it a
Speaker 1: secret and have Sanda bring it for under the Tree?
Speaker 7: No secret, you want.
Speaker 2: To hear it?
Speaker 1: Beckett, listen up, buddy. We got some stuff for you.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you everything. I need to
Speaker 1: keep a couple of things secret, but we have We
Speaker 1: have a car Lego set. We had an airplane Lego set,
Speaker 1: a Transformer Lego set. Do you like legos, Beckett?
Speaker 7: I love them.
Speaker 1: We got a dog man and a Captain Underpants book.
Speaker 1: Do you like Captain Underpants? Okay, I'm gonna keep some
Speaker 1: of the other things secret, so you there'll be some
Speaker 1: secrets left and surprises on Christmas, So Beckett you can
Speaker 1: keep wondering what that might be. So Beckett stand by.
Speaker 1: You're taking good care of your mom and dad and
Speaker 1: your little sister. Yeah, okay, let's talk about Delaney. She's five,
Speaker 1: and we've got just some things that we hope she'll
Speaker 1: enjoy with a little help from mom and dad and Beckett.

Speaker 1: Aria aerial dress and shoe set, sleep beauty dress. We
Speaker 1: got some barbies and accessories that you can play with,
Speaker 1: and some other things too, clothing and some practical stuff
Speaker 1: for little Delaney. And where is is Delaney? Obviously there
Speaker 1: with you right now.
Speaker 7: Yes, she's right here, Hi, Delaney.
Speaker 1: I know that she's not always responsive, but I just
Speaker 1: want to give you a little shout out and let
Speaker 1: you know that we're thinking about you, Delaney. For Brian,
Speaker 1: that's your husband. Where's Brian, Brian? Brian. We got some
Speaker 1: things for you, guys, just to kind of like enjoy
