Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Great, the word zone too, I did that too.
Speaker 2: Tara is doing a Christmas wish for Kobe. How do
Speaker 2: you know Kobe?
Speaker 5: So, Kobe is my brother in law. He is the
Speaker 5: boyfriend on my sister that passed away.
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna call Kobe and talk about your Christmas
Speaker 2: wish and what we can do for Kobe and four kids,
Speaker 2: four little kids like seven and under.
Speaker 6: Fifteen, fifteen, another, eleven and two.
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna call Kobe right now. Jenny's making
Speaker 2: the phone call and we will pick up and put
Speaker 2: Kobe on the air. He does not know exactly what's
Speaker 2: going on, but he's waiting for a phone call from
Speaker 2: somebody who's making a delivery. Yes, literally, yeah, he literally
Speaker 2: is Hello, I'm calling for Kobe.
Speaker 1: Please.
Speaker 2: Hey, Kobe, it's Dave Ryan on the radio over at
Speaker 2: kd WB. Can I talk to you about something good
Speaker 2: for a minute?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 2: Okay, good Kobe. I'm here with your sister in law, Tara. Tara,
Speaker 2: say hi to Kobe. Hey Kobe, Kobe, would you have
Speaker 2: any idea why we're calling you this morning?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Not really?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, Katie Able to be does something that we're
Speaker 2: really proud of every year called Christmas Wish, where we
Speaker 2: ask people to tell us about a family that has
Speaker 2: struggled and has faced some really challenging circumstances. And we
Speaker 2: heard from Tara about your situation. And Tara wrote in
Speaker 2: a letter to tell us about your situation. And I
Speaker 2: know you've got kids in the background, You've got stuff
Speaker 2: going on, but if you can, can you do you
Speaker 2: have a few minutes to listen to Tara read this letter?
Speaker 1: Kobe. Sure, okay, whenever you're ready, Tara.
Speaker 5: All right, let's see if I can make it through
Speaker 5: without crying. All right, So my sister Tiffany and I
Speaker 5: would like to nominate our brother in law, Kobe and
Speaker 5: his four beautiful children for this Christmas wish. Kobe is
Speaker 5: the boyfriend of our youngest sister, Tina, who passed away
Speaker 5: five months ago. Our sister Tina was such an amazing
Speaker 5: mom to her four kids. She was so selfless for
Speaker 5: her family and she gave all of herself. Tina struggled
Speaker 5: for many years with unresolved childhood trauma, untreated mental health,
Speaker 5: and substance abuse. She always put everyone else first to
Speaker 5: a fault. It was almost as if she didn't know
Speaker 5: how to take care of herself.
Speaker 6: Tiffy and I prayed for her for many.
Speaker 5: Years that she would get the healing that she needed,
Speaker 5: since we knew that recovery and healing was possible since
Speaker 5: we both received it. Unfortunately, she never got the help
Speaker 5: that she needed and continued to drink until we found
Speaker 5: out that she had early stages of liver disease, still
Speaker 5: even knowing that her addiction was so strong that she
Speaker 5: could not quit. She was hospitalized over the summer in July,
Speaker 5: and over just a span of a week, she had
Speaker 5: been placed on life support. We had to decide to
Speaker 5: take her off of it so she could pass away peacefully.
Speaker 5: It was one of the hardest things that we've ever
Speaker 5: done in our life. After this, Kobe became a single
Speaker 5: dad of four children, ages two, seven, eleven, and fifteen.
Speaker 5: He tackled getting them into school just a month and
Speaker 5: a half after she died, getting school clothes, and figuring
Speaker 5: out how to manage it all. I couldnot imagine how
Speaker 5: challenging it has been for him to navigate this new
Speaker 5: way of life. He has worked so hard to carry
Speaker 5: his family emotionally, mentally, and financially, and there is only
Speaker 5: so much one person can do. Through all of this,
Speaker 5: Kobe has been the pillar of his four children and
Speaker 5: has pushed through such a hard time. Kobe, I want
Speaker 5: you to know that we see you, and we love you,
Speaker 5: and we are here for you. We think of you
Speaker 5: as our own brother. I hope that this Christmas the
Speaker 5: Adams family will experience a brighter holiday season since this
Speaker 5: is the first Christmas without their mother and girlfriend. And lastly,
Speaker 5: I just want to say that if you're struggling with
Speaker 5: substance use out there, there is hope for recovery and
Speaker 5: to reach out to EOSIS Recovery.
Speaker 2: And we'll get more information about that in a second.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry about Tina. Is an unimaginable loss, and
Speaker 2: that the addiction was so powerful that she knew that
Speaker 2: it was killing her basically and she just could not stop. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that had to been a very hard thing to see
Speaker 2: somebody you love go through that, Kobe.
Speaker 7: Yes it was.
Speaker 2: And now life without Tina will who of course you miss?
Speaker 2: And four kids? How's that going, Kobe? It's day by
Speaker 2: day thing.
Speaker 7: I just take one day at a time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, struggle, but you know how much your family loves
Speaker 2: you and how much support you have.
Speaker 5: I hope, yes, I'll do, and I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: How are the kids doing, Kobe?
Speaker 8: You're good, You're doing the right You're doing good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they miss mom?
Speaker 5: I'm sure, yes, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine four kids with two parents is challenging.
Speaker 2: Four kids with just Kobe really challenging. It sounds like
Speaker 2: you got this though. What's going on now? Are we
Speaker 2: making breakfast or what are we doing right now?
Speaker 1: Kobe?
Speaker 8: Getting kids ready for school, getting ready for work?

Speaker 2: horrible sad story. They lost mom to alcoholism just a
Speaker 2: few months ago and now the kids from fifteen down

Speaker 2: And Treasure Island is matching everything, so take advantage of
Speaker 2: their generosity. Dave Bryan TVA with Treasure Island Resort and Casino,
Speaker 2: and we just had somebody donate. Let me say I
Speaker 2: can find them to give them a shout out here
Speaker 2: because this is super cool. David's five Stars Storage over
Speaker 2: in Saint Paul just donated eight hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is awesome. Kendred just donated fifty dollars and
Speaker 1: a good question.
Speaker 8: Somebody just called and asked if they could they want
Speaker 8: to donate one thousand bucks, which thank you. They asked, well,
Speaker 8: I get a receipt? Is this tax deductible? They want
Speaker 8: to know all those details.
Speaker 2: You will, absolutely, yes, It'll be taken care of when
Speaker 2: you Basically, I think what you do is you show
Speaker 2: that receipt, your print off the visa, the receipt. Yes,
Speaker 2: just take a screenshot of that, because when you donate
Speaker 2: you get a receipt page. You take a screenshot of
Speaker 2: that or take a picture of that, and that should
Speaker 2: work with your tax person because it goes through youth Link.
Speaker 2: It all goes through youth Link, so it is all
Speaker 2: tax deductible. So basically Christmas Wish is the service of
Speaker 2: youth Link that we do all the work for, and
Speaker 2: youth Link takes care of the fact that it's a
Speaker 2: credible charity and it is their charity, but we do
Speaker 2: all the leg work. Yeah, and we love doing the
Speaker 2: leg work. I would tell you I sit down for
Speaker 2: probably about a half an hour or an hour every night,
Speaker 2: I get a cup of hot green tea. Oh, I
Speaker 2: light a candle in my office and I start calling
Speaker 2: people for Christmas wish and I'm like, Hi, it's Dave
Speaker 2: Ryan calling. And then they always say, Wow, this is
Speaker 2: so cool and you're a big deal.
Speaker 1: And I say, I.
Speaker 7: Know, I feel like I've overheard some of your calls,
Speaker 7: and I don't think they ever said that.
Speaker 2: They say, oh, wow, this this is a big thrill.
Speaker 2: I say, I know, I get it.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, who is it?
Speaker 1: Shut up, Bailey.
Speaker 2: And so anyway, so we love doing the leg work
Speaker 2: and we got another Christmas wish coming up. I went
Speaker 2: by Fido's pantry over in chan happening last night. Picked
Speaker 2: up five hundred dollars worth of pet food and pet
Speaker 2: toys and cat litter. Wow, it was awesome. Thanks to

Speaker 1: You know what I mean? What did you?
Speaker 8: You told a story earlier an old DJ on the
Speaker 8: Station of the Emperor.
Speaker 2: I was reading a story on the Woodbury history page
Speaker 2: because Katie Wob used to be in Woodbury on radio Drive.
Speaker 2: That's why it's called radio drive because we were the
Speaker 2: only thing out there. Cows, yuck of plants and Katie
Speaker 2: wb So that I was reading an article on the
Speaker 2: Woodbury Facebook page like Woodbury History, and they said that
Speaker 2: a DJ who named himself Charlie Brown in about nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty five declared himself the Emperor of Wisconsin and was
Speaker 2: going to take over Wisconsin, which I found to be hysterical.

Speaker 3: I understand protecting your children from information that may not
Speaker 3: be like developmentally appropriate when it comes to illness with
Speaker 3: family members, but these are adult children now. The lack
Speaker 3: of communication regarding important family health events has not only
Speaker 3: increased their anxiety now because they don't trust that you'll
Speaker 3: tell them, but it's resulted in a fracture in your
Speaker 3: relationship or a breach of trust.

Speaker 6: We'll find out about my dad's side of the family.

Speaker 7: like in passing. He'll be like, oh, yeah, your aunt's
Speaker 7: been a you know, really ill. She spend in and
Speaker 7: out of the hospital. It'll be like, cool, how come
Speaker 7: you didn't tell me that? Yeah, Like, that's an easy
Speaker 7: call to make, an easy text to make. But then
Speaker 7: anyone know, he'll text us like.

Speaker 7: Way, your uncle died today, Like, oh no, that's a
Speaker 7: phone call.

Speaker 2: Now. Now it is party season, and you know you
Speaker 2: shouldn't show up at the party empty handed. But you
Speaker 2: know what's the right thing to bring? People like, oh,
Speaker 2: here's a bottle of wine. Well, then the problem is
Speaker 2: the host or host ass feels like they have to
Speaker 2: bust out the bottle of wine. And sometimes they've already
Speaker 2: got a bunch of bottles of wine. So do you
Speaker 2: bring flowers? Flowers is decent, but there is a celebrity.
Speaker 2: Chef Ena Garton suggests switching it up and bring something
Speaker 2: your host can enjoy after the party, like coffee. Hmm,
Speaker 2: not a cup or a pot of coffee, but like,
Speaker 2: you know, a bag of delicious something exotic kind of coffee. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like some sort of like, I don't know, exotic sort
Speaker 2: of coffee.
Speaker 8: But how does that benefit the party itself?
Speaker 1: I guess it doesn't. It doesn't.
Speaker 2: But I think the thing is they get so many
Speaker 2: things that benefit the party, yeah, that they just don't
Speaker 2: want anymore benefit them after maybe so coffee or homemade
Speaker 2: granola or something they would I wouldn't bring that.
Speaker 6: But kind a garden thing to say, is it?
Speaker 1: You know who that is?
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's the barefoot contessa. She's very like you know
Speaker 7: what you could get them is a homemade granola. My
Speaker 7: husband loves homemade granola.
Speaker 6: She's one of those.
Speaker 2: Okay, gotcha bring them something they can enjoy the next day,
Speaker 2: but not that they feel compelled to serve it during
Speaker 2: the meal. I kind of like that one, Jenny, do
Speaker 2: you have a new total? You're still adding?

Speaker 2: sent the field reporter Laura Rutledge to go, you know,
Speaker 2: get an interview, and that's part of what they do. Now,

Speaker 5: interview from Justin Herbert.

Speaker 2: with my team, which I get it. It's like, God,
Speaker 2: we just won this big game. Can I have a minute.
