Transparency. We usually try to read emails before we put them on the podcast,
because sometimes they get a little bit dark, or sometimes they get a
little bit personal, or they'll ask a question that we don't really want to
answer, or sometimes it's just not meant for the radio. But guess what,
Jenny, I'm not pre read shit today, not reprere. I don't
know what I'm going to get into. Hello'll what a big week for the
show. Sad to see Fallon go, but I'm excited to see Jenny and
Drake shine even more than they already do. Me too, I mean,
seriously, we've had such a great time on the show this morning, and
I'm My only concern is Jenny being overworked. And I told Susan about this
last night. I said, if Jenny gets to the point where she is
so overworked and drained, She's going to come in one day and say I'm
going to go work at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory at Mall of America and
she won't come in anymore. I did so much chocolate and then I have
a stomach ache even more than I have here. Oh gosh, so how
are you doing? Tell us like somewhat candidly without getting serious, like how
are you doing with your I mean, you have a personal life, you
got a boyfriend, you got a dog sitting thing on the side, that's
your side hustle, and you love your dogs. But at the same time,
I don't want you to come in every morning going, uh man,
this is too much. Yeah. No, I mean, I, like
full honesty, have had like a few moments of feeling very very stressed.
And I've never experienced a stress headache before, and I did for the first
time last week, and that was like not fun because it made me actually
like nauseous, and I was like, this is really fucking weird. I've
never experienced this before because I just I'm always thinking of things to do,
things that need to get done, whatever, and I just felt very overwhelmed.
So because I mean, we did know last week. Obviously we revealed
this yesterday, but we found out last week that all of these changes were
happening. So there were moments of like, I was very overwhelmed. I'm
doing fine right now. I mean, there's definitely some things I'm gonna need
to talk to Drake about having him help me out a little bit more.
You need to do that, yeah, but I'm doing fine right now,
just trying to like I don't know. I mean, it's a lot of
mindset stuff. You just gotta stay positive, like change is hard for everyone.
Like I said, I love Fallen and I'm like sad to not have
her on the show, but I'm also really really excited for their show and
what they're going to do. So it's like a weird mixture of like I'm
sad selfishly, but like also like good for her to like move on and
have her own show and stuff. It really was like it's a good thing.
And people said, somebody wrote last night. They said why, and
we said, well, because there's a lot of you know, like in
radio. We've talked about this. I don't want to get too deep into
it, but radio for music is still a very valid thing where the Twin
Cities number one hit music station. At the same time, people want companionship
more and more from rad and so we thought, we've got two people on
KWB at least that can do a show like this. I'm one and Fallon
is the other. So that's why Fallon is on in the afternoon to bring
more I don't know, content, personality, connection to the afternoon show.
Ye Zach is a music kind of a guy, and he was definitely a
TikTok kind of a guy, but Fallon will bring a whole new connection thing
to it, and so kind of that's what radio was headed for. In
the afternoon. She goes on to say, I have been and continued to
be grateful to hear you. Also speaks so candidly about mental and emotional health.
I related deeply to Jenny's shares about anxiety as it used to be and
still is from time to time a part of my daily life. One thing
that has made a huge impact for me has been breathwork. We even this
into short or longer session through my week. I explained breathwork as meditation for
those who can't meditate. I started my practice in twenty eighteen to twenty twenty,
was certified as a trauma inform to breathwork facilitate or interesting Okay, not
sure if it's something you tried or would be interested in, but maybe supportive
to you. You have questions or want to try a session, I'd love
to givet a session to you. This offer goes to Jenny everybody else on
the show. If you feel called to it. Keep doing what you're doing.
So grateful you have a local show that crushes it. From Megan,
I'm gonna put this out there and we'll talk about this, you know,
off the podcast, but maybe we should get Megan on the show. I'll
bet a lot of people if we talk to Megan for three and a half
minutes one morning about breathwork. I'm going to forward this to you, Jenny,
and maybe we can get Megan on the show because I don't know much
about breathwork and what you do, but that could be really valuable for somebody
who's like got stress and anxiety. So email forwarded. Let's go to the
next one. No, not interested. Like I said, I have not
pre read these, So hello Dave, Ryan crew. Congrats on the continued
success of the show and the individual success you are keep achieving. As a
longtime listener, I appreciate your ability to navigate change, seeing it as a
necessary part of innovation and a long term investment. Congrats to Fallon and Jenny.
I also want to share that is a long time listener about nineteen years.
It's really easy for familiarity to create comfort. Listening to you all oddly
provides me a sense of comfort when I need it. You're familiar. I
know about your families, we have a history. I love it because I
feel so close to you in almost twenty years. The announcement about Fallon felt
a bit strange today. It's obviously a great opportunity for her and Jenny,
but I can't help but feel it all seemed a bit forced. It was
odd hearing Fallon quickly summarized her experience on the morning show as it's been awesome,
and also how she randomly wrapped up her time and you all said goodbye
in the seven o'clock hour. I will say that we didn't have a rule
book for how to handle it. We didn't have you know, there was
nothing that was like, here's how you do it. I thought that we
did a good job. We talked about it for twenty minutes, and it
wasn't as if Fallen was saying goodbye forever. Right, she is moving to
the afternoon show, and I'm sure she'll make guest appearances back on the show.
So it wasn't going to be a big, morose kind of a sad
thing. And plus we're really bad at sad because once it turns, something
turned sad one of us will make a really inappropriate joke. So I you
know, like I said, there was no rule book on how to make
the announcement, but I thought we did the best we could. She did
also have to go work like another shift during the day, so I know,
like she had jumped off the show kind of after we had done the
conversation, but like it was like we had her on until the moment we
announced it because we didn't want anyone to be like, well, where's Falon
like whatever, and so once we announced it, it was like, Okay,
well this is the change happening. And now Fallen has to also go
work in afternoon shift, so we're gonna let her get up the morning show
this morning for the rest of the morning, so she's not doing like a
complete double shift for today. Yes, they say all that said, I'm
going to keep listening to the morning show like I always do. Bonus for
me and katwb that now they've secured my listenership twice a day. Smart move,
And honestly, I think that was a big part of it was,
you know, it was like a business programming decision. Let's see, hey,
this is from Dan the smart ass Dan's the one who we have on
the show. And you might recognize Dan's voice because Dan, he's on probably
every Friday, on no phone screen or Friday. He says, Hey,
my mostly friends, Dan here from Apple Valley. I want to say that
Dave, yes, you're on AARP, doesn't mean that you're worthless and really
old. It's more the wrinkles on your face. L L shut up,
Dan, Sincerely your friend, Daniel. We love Dan all right. Next
one, Minnesota. Goodbye, Dave. Jenny Drake. I'm sure you'll be
flooded with Fallon questions, so I'll just add another one on. I missed
the chemistry of you altogether. I'm super happy for Fallon and love that I'll
get to hear Jenny even more. How Come we didn't get much of a
warning she was leaving. It felt so sudden, and, to be honest,
kind of weird. Maybe I'm being dramatic, but the news just hit
me hard this morning. Some of us don't deal well with change, and
we need time to process. I hope this doesn't come across as harsh.
I still love you and appreciate all your hard work. I think again,
I'll go back to Jessica that there's no rule book for I mean, if
you announced it a month in advance, is that the way to do it.
I was gonna say, I don't. I don't. I've never worked
I've only worked really at this radio station in City ninety seven, very briefly,
but I've never worked where someone left the show to still be on the
station just like today. Nope. So I feel like had Fallon been announcing
that she was moving to New York to go host a show out there or
something, we would have done like a tribute of all kinds of things,
we probably did like all the best funny bits and funny songs. Yeah,
but it was just a little bit different because she's she's still here. It
just was like announced that, like now she has her own show and she'll
be doing it at a different time. But I know that probably hasn't really
giving you all the answer to you on here. I mean, if I
was going to do it again, I might do it a little bit differently
and say and play this and this and this. But I think because it
did happen suddenly and we didn't really get a chance to sit back and think
about how we wanted to do it. I think we did a good job,
and Foulon did a good job, and listeners did a good job of
listening to find out what it was all about. But if I was going
to do it again, maybe I would change it up a little bit.
But like I said, there's no there's no set of rules on how to
do it. So next, one random question for you this morning. What's
the time in life when you thought, man, I must really love my
partner, and man, I really love my partner, My man, I
really love him. Was last night my husband burned his lower back work in
construction. Picture of burn the exact size and shape as an exhaust pipe on
his back. I was changing his band aid last night. I was picking
off the old dead skin that was dirty. I was like, holy shit,
you're lucky. I love you, my man, I really love him.
Was after my son was born. I had to be put under and
sometimes when you have surgery under stomach, it's super painful to lift your arms,
so I couldn't wash my hair. I sat in the hospital shower on
a chair, crying in pain while my husband shampooed, condition and brush my
hair. I knew I loved him, but that was a moment where I
was like, damn, I really love him. It's one of my favorite
memories about him. I really like that. I would say, that's a
hard one. I think there's been a lot of moments. I know that
I was going through something really awful tenish years ago and I said, I
just need you to hold me. I just needed to lay down and I
need you to hold me. And I think that and she did, And
I think that was one of the times where I said I really love her.
Do you have one with Andrew? I have those moments very frequently,
so I couldn't recall the first time that that's ever happened. But I do
know that there's moments where I look at him and I'm just like, holy
shit, I really love him. But one specifically, I think it was
like, honestly, it was after Steve was let go and I was very
overwhelmed, and I just you had to not only miss Steve, but also
would just do all of Steve's duties. Yeah, And all of a sudden,
I was getting thrown onto all these extra segments. And I think specifically
that week, we were writing a children's book or something, and I had
like twenty other things happening that day, and then I knew I still had
to write like a children's book to present on the show the next day,
and so I felt so overwhelmed. And Andrew had he had left a little
like sorry, I got distracted because I'm nervous that that has been playing the
whole time. Let me check, how is the girlfriend crazy? It wasn't.
It wasn't. Sorry, I saw that, and I got so nervous.
Okay, yeah, no kidding, Okay, continue, where were you?
Yes, basic audio error. And while I was at living in my
apartment by myself, Andrew left like a little package of nice things at my
apartment which included like some cold brew and then like a gift card to Target
or something just like a couple like sweet things. And I'm not really a
gift person, like that's not my love language. But it was one of
the nicest moments where he went out of his way. He lived in Saint
Paul still at the time. I was in Minneapolis, and he went out
of his way to leave me a little nice note and care package basically because
I was very overwhelmed at the time. That is a really interesting thing.
You say, what is your your love language? Is presence. No,
it's it's not gifts so much. Mine is more quality time and words of
affirmation. Those are my top two. Gifts have never really been my thing.
Okay, as I've gotten older, I am more of a I like
to give gifts a little bit more than I need to. But it's not
really my love language of like I want gifts from my boyfriend. That's I'm
the same way as you. I'm not a gift person. I appreciate them.
I think they're very sweet. I guess because I'm like at a point
in my life where I don't want more things. I'm trying to get rid
of things. But I'm my own worst enemy because I ordered things in the
mail. I think my love language is gratitude and I just really like,
for example, like when somebody goes and stays at my house in Colorado,
I just want to know they're having a great time. They don't have to
call me and kiss my ass and go Dave, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you. But I just appreciate them saying thank you,
we're having a great time. Or if I take somebody flying, I
don't expect them to buy me like a basket of wine. And cheese.
That's not it. I just want to know that they had a great time.
Yeah. And so sometimes when I do something nice for somebody and I
don't get the gratitude, I'm like, oh, well, that's kind of
my love language. So all right, last one, this email for you,
Dave. Oh it's not for the Minnesota goodbye. So anyway, we're
gonna skip that one and not do that one on the Minnesota goodbye. So
we will pass that one, and I think then that is it for the
Minnesota Goodbye. Have a great day. Send your emails to Ryan Show at
katiebbet dot com. I will try to preread them tomorrow, but we have
been like running around like crazy, so we'll try our best. But send
your emails to Ryan Show at katiebbat dot com for tomorrow's Minnesota Goodbye
