WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.040 We have one email today, just one email. Here we go past. 2 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.800 It's gonna be very, very very short. I want to get Kate Ann 3 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:10.800 says, I want to give Drake a shout out. This morning. It 4 00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:15.880 is two thirty am on a Tuesday, and I'm awake with insomnia. I 5 00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:18.559 decided to get up and listen to Kata but You Be a Little And guess 6 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.879 who I heard working early this morning? It was Drake on air. Such 7 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.920 a pleasant surprise. It can feel lonely sometimes being up in the middle of 8 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.120 the night when everybody around me is sleeping peacefully. But when I turned on 9 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.920 Katio but You Be and I heard Drake, it felt like I had a 10 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.960 friend up and awake with me. It made me feel less lonely. Plus, 11 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:40.560 there are far worse things than listening to Drake's smooth, sexy and calming 12 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.159 voice this early in the morning. Thank you Drake for joining Kato BB. 13 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.920 You are a great edition. Love you. You make a difference that is 14 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.200 from Kate. I get it. I think that one of the reasons that 15 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.119 I love radio and that I wanted to be on the radio is because I 16 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.280 grew up with the radio. One I would listen to the radio while I 17 00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:02.399 did my homework in probably elementary school all through high school, and the DJ 18 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:03.799 is like a friend. And I think that's one of the things that you 19 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:10.159 that we on radio can do that podcasting really cannot. Sure, podcasting is 20 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.640 a voice, but it's not local and it's not now. It's not something 21 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.560 that you are listening to currently and goes away. I mean that's kind of 22 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.519 like listening to Katibb is like a meal in a way. You absorb it, 23 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.840 you enjoy it, and it goes away. With a podcast, you 24 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.760 absorb it, enjoy it, and it's still there because it's not it's not 25 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.799 a consumable. Does that even make sense? There's something about live radio that 26 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.480 really is magic. I get, Like, I get this point of if 27 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:42.000 you're listening to it live, you're actually like sharing time together. Yeah, 28 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.640 so that I get like, But I mean, obviously a lot of people 29 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.159 do listen to us on a podcast and they don't listen to like live radio, 30 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.760 So I get. You know, I still think podcasts can feel like 31 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.319 a friend, but usually most of us listen to podcasts from people in California 32 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.359 or whatever. It's not there's no chance of me running into who I listened 33 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.519 to a target, So I think there are differences in that way also, 34 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.800 but I like more interested in her talking about insomnia because my mom used to 35 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.080 struggle from insomnia, and I cannot imagine the very rare nights I'll have where 36 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.240 I can't sleep. It's brutal. I'm so sorry you deal with that, 37 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.879 because it is weird. I've had a few of those, and you just 38 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.919 sit there and I'm like, Okay, let's look at my phone because I 39 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.400 don't know what to do. I can't sleep, and I feel like no 40 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.000 one else in the world is awake right now, Like I can't text a 41 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.439 friend, I can't do anything. I don't want to get out of bed 42 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:37.960 and go watch TV. So it's a very weird, isolating feeling. So 43 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.479 if you experience that a lot, gosh, I'm so sorry you do. 44 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.919 It's interesting because I think the loneliest that I've ever felt in my life on 45 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.759 a regular basis was doing the all night show at a radio station that people 46 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.080 weren't really listening to anymore. It was back when I was about eighteen or 47 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.120 nineteen years old. I worked on an AM station at the time when FM 48 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.080 had really kind of taken over, and so I would work the midnight to 49 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:05.599 six shift, six days a week. Midnight to six six days a week, 50 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.520 it was. And I went to college the same time, and I 51 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.520 would get to work. I was so tired, and after about one o'clock 52 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.680 or one thirty, even the late night bar crowd was home in bed and 53 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.800 the night ols were in bed. And so from about two o'clock until about 54 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.719 five o'clock in the morning, there was no phone calls, maybe one every 55 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.199 hour or something like that, and it was just lonely. And here I 56 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.879 was the one that was there to provide company for people. So it was 57 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.039 funny because back then on the radio we didn't really do much. We'd be 58 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.919 like, Okay, that is the latest from you know, I don't know 59 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.120 Mariah Carey. Yeah, and Mariah Carrey is on tour this week and she'll 60 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.520 be in Denver coming up label whatever. But we didn't do any like like 61 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.400 wacky stuff or phone topics or anything like that. It was just bake, 62 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.960 here is this artist, that was that artist. Interesting, my whole career 63 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.919 has been I guess maybe the more modern version of like doing kind of phone 64 00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:00.319 topics or bits, because my first well, when I did a weekend show 65 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.840 and Indiana. Honestly was pre recorded, so I wasn't like interacting with anyone 66 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.639 because it wasn't live. Yeah, right right. It was kind of like 67 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:11.319 here's like information about this artist and whatever. But as soon as I got 68 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.680 like the night Show, which was pretty quickly, then yeah, it was 69 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:17.959 like immediately into like kind of more phone topics. I only did a few 70 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.240 bits. I did a bit called Stupid Roommate Theater with Abby, my roommate, 71 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.600 and that was like kind of my one consistent bit, and that was 72 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.279 it. When I did the night show. I worked at a station in 73 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:35.120 Colorado that they went from very very little talk and everything that you said was 74 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.160 basically written down on index cards in front of you, and you would say 75 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:45.800 something like hey Stave Ryan, and you are listening to ninety six Rock KKFM, 76 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.759 Colorado springs the blah blah blah blah blah, and here is Madonna. 77 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.279 Yeah, And then everything was a card, and one of them was you 78 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.279 filled in the name and a city with it would say something like, hey 79 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.199 Stave Ryan on ninety six Rock. I just got a call from fill in 80 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.839 a name, makeup a name, Stacy, who is now enjoying her favorites 81 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:11.319 in Widefield on nineties crock and so that's but then they switched it to do 82 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.240 They got rid of that. They wanted us to open up and be more 83 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.680 personality. So when I was the nighttime DJ, I used to do a 84 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.680 bit called the Love Lines, So people would call in with love problems and 85 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.920 I would give them the stupidest advice ever, and then I would play sound 86 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.839 effects of people in the background going, oh, oh that's beautiful, Oh 87 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.759 that's oh, oh lovely, oh lovely. And it was so bad. 88 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:41.160 But did people like it? Oh? Yeah they did. They'd call him 89 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.759 be like, yeah, you know, my boyfriend, I think he's cheating 90 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.800 on me, and I would say something like I don't know, Like that's 91 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.639 some really bad, stupid advice off the top of my head, and I'd 92 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.120 record it and then i'd play the sound effects of people clapping in the background. 93 00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.680 And that was like the first bit that I ever really did. Yeah, 94 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:02.079 since we don't have a lot else on the Minnesota Goodbye And next week 95 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.959 you're going you have to go accept your award, your radio award. Have 96 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.920 you finished your speech? Are you actually going to use your chat GPT speech? 97 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.040 Probably a part of it. Yeah, I think what I'm going to 98 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.879 talk about is how much I love radio. But then I'll talk about like, 99 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.759 um, like a couple of little nuggets of advice, and then maybe 100 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.720 a couple of stories because nobody likes a long speech. Now. It's like, 101 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:26.879 people really want you to get up, say a couple of words before 102 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.439 they get burnt out and board, and then sit back down. The rule 103 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.839 in a speech is the saying is you want them to like you as much 104 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.319 as you when you sit down as they did when you stood up. Yeah, 105 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.480 so you know when they say it's like, oh, here's Dave Ryan, 106 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.120 and then it was like, yeah, you want them to be still 107 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.120 like you when you go to sit down instead of holy fucking shut ups. 108 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.759 Wevolve into a speech. She is going, but she is not going. 109 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.720 I don't think she's going to the award. I don't know whether she will 110 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.959 or not. Okay, Yeah, she went with me last year to the 111 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.120 radio convention and she had no interest to go into the panels at all. 112 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.920 Well, I don't blame our what either. If Jake had a convention, 113 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.079 I'd be like, no thanks, I'll just be in the hotel ordering room 114 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.160 service. Yeah, because I was gonna say make sure you have someone record 115 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.800 it so we can see how your speech goes. Oh, it's a good 116 00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.839 idea. I haven't thought about that. Yep. And then are you you're 117 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:16.720 off next week though? Right off all next week? Yeah? Are you 118 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.680 going to go to Texas? Or is that private and personal? I don't 119 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:24.439 know what your plan is. It's none of your goddamn business. Falon. 120 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.800 Why must you try to make everything public? I don't know. I mean, 121 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:31.959 I don't care. I don't know. Will you watched Josie? Will 122 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.360 you watch Josie? No? Roger absolutely not. I don't have enough food 123 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.600 in my house to keep that thing going. Roger's got a pendulous tummy, 124 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:45.560 he really does. It is a pendulous tummy. I wonder what if Edith, 125 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:46.839 my cat, is ever going to get plump, because my last cat, 126 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.519 Drew, was so plump. But she got pretty plump pretty quick after 127 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:55.319 she got spaded, and Edith hasn't really She's stayed kind of spelt some of 128 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.759 them. Do you know. I don't know how this came up. I 129 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.160 must have liked something, but it sip on my Facebook all the time. 130 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.759 In the last couple of days, it is people saying goodbye to their pets, 131 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.759 and I wonder if it's because you and I were talking about that yesterday. 132 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.759 But it's like people holding their dog for the last time in the vet 133 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.360 in the vet's office before they're put to that and put to sleep, and 134 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.240 their crying and their dog looks so just old and sad. And there was 135 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.920 one of like somebody's mom who would look like she was in her eighties, 136 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.480 and like that's she's putting down Roscoe, saying goodbye to Roscoe who is eighteen 137 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.720 years old, and Roscoe just looked old and tired. It's like, how 138 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.600 in the f did this come up as like something I prefer in my Facebook 139 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.679 timeline. I find it touching, but I really don't want to see that. 140 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.360 No, I've decided I said that thing is said this off the air. 141 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.320 When the time comes with Elliott, I am going to do the thing 142 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.799 where they come to your house and not go talking about that last night. 143 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.440 Can I ask you a question, Yeah, do they take Elliott with afterward? 144 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.360 I think so, because you wouldn't want to figure out what to do 145 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.960 on your own. Sure, they set it up and handle it however you 146 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.879 want. So, like a lot of people will do, like the cremation 147 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.440 like cremation. I have, like my little kittycat, Drew's ashes, So 148 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.919 I probably would do that with Elliott. And yeah, I think that that's 149 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.200 how it works. Um, I haven't done a ton of research into it, 150 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.440 but I just know that I don't want to. I did that with 151 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.440 Drew. I took her to the vet, and I don't want to do 152 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.320 that again because it was just like she hates the vet. I don't want 153 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.039 to add one level of like an extra amount of stress to her right before. 154 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.919 Yeah, good thought, that's that's a good thing too, because yeah, 155 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.919 Josie hates the car. Now. So Josie is fourteen, hopefully she's 156 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:35.480 got another couple of good years left in her. But she does not like 157 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.840 to come down the stairs in the backyard anymore. She used to race down 158 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:45.879 the stairs. And she also can't hear like she used to. Yeah, 159 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.480 there was something else I was going to say about veteranary. Oh here it 160 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.320 is. There's my one piece of advice for putting your pet to sleep. 161 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:58.720 Give them hugs and snuggles before the vet makes the injection. Because when they 162 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.320 go, they go wick they're gone. And it's said, and the reason 163 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:07.240 and the reason I bring it up is because when we put Willie, that 164 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.679 was Alison's cat, I put him down seven or eight years ago, and 165 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.320 he was a sweet cat. So they gave him the injection and then I 166 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:20.000 went to give him a little hug and he was limp gone. So hug 167 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.519 your pet while they still have life in them, because, let me tell 168 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.200 you, hug and Willie and trying to give him a little hug when he 169 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:30.200 was limp gone was not the last memory of Willie that I wanted. Yeah, 170 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.080 So come to keep in mind, I just didn't realize how quick it 171 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.960 was. And that is like Withdrew, like I didn't realize. I mean, 172 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.480 it was like immediate. I did not know that, and that was 173 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.279 it is. It is pretty much immediate, isn't it. Yeah. So 174 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.399 anyway, well, what other happy things you want to talk about? I 175 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:52.360 don't even know. Yesterday vacation or something. Well let's talk about Rojo, 176 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.759 because yesterday we went to to E White his going away party at Rojo and 177 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.679 E White's the nighttime. DJ's got a big job in Salt Lake City, 178 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.159 so falonce set up. We all go to Rojo, and I did the 179 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.279 stupid ass thing that everybody does that chips and salsa were so freaking good that 180 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.080 by the time my enchiladas arrived that I really wasn't even hungry. Did I 181 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.799 eat all of the enchiladas and a bowl and a half of chips, Yes, 182 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.799 I did. But you had a salad yesterday? What was that all 183 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.600 about? I always get a salad there. I don't know. I get 184 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.159 the enchilada trio. They got cheese, beef, and chicken. No I 185 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.559 try. I am trying to like find balance. I'm not like sitting here 186 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.600 trying to lose like weight and all this stuff. I'm just like, I 187 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.039 want to be happy, so I'll go eat ice cream with my family. 188 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:43.799 But I also last night had shrimp and vegetables for dinner beforehand, and I'm 189 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.440 so I'm sure, like if I have all of I know I'm gonna eat 190 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.320 a ton of chips and salsa. So I'm like, I'm going to get 191 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.480 a salad and not eat all of it. So I'm just trying to be 192 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.080 more mindful of serving size and things like that. But I don't ever want 193 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.120 to count calories and stuff again in my life. But it's hard. It's 194 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.120 hard to not because I get down on myself I'll see a picture of myself 195 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.159 that I hate, you know, and I get really down on myself, 196 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.879 and so I go I play. It probably will be a mental battle my 197 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.120 entire life, honestly, until I hear at some point you really just don't 198 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.200 give f anymore, and I look forward to that day. I know what 199 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.480 you mean about the picture you see a picture of yourself, Like, I've 200 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.960 seen pictures of myself from the side, and I've been wearing extra large shirts 201 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.039 for about a year and then I lost some weight and then now these extra 202 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.240 large shirts they look like a two pent yeah, and they look horrible. 203 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.440 But I've seen pictures That was kind of what inspired me to lose weight was 204 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.120 I saw a picture of myself from the side. It was born a large 205 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.120 shirt. I looked like somebody had stuffed like a sock full of laundry, 206 00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.639 you know what I mean seriously, And it just looked awful. So there's 207 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.559 certain things that inspire you. But I think the thing is this is when 208 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:56.519 I heard eighty twenty eighty twenty. You eat healthy ish eighty percent of the 209 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.799 time, and you eat not healthy twenty percent of the time, and that'll 210 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.919 either maintain for you or help you lose weight. Last night, well, 211 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.000 yesterday, after I had the InChI ladders in the bowl of chips, I 212 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.159 went out to the Excelsior Trail, the flattest trail that I can find, 213 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.159 and I ran three point two miles and I did it pretty easily, and 214 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.320 I felt really good about it. And you know, you burn off four 215 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.679 hundred calories for running something like that, and I figure, okay, I'm 216 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.399 about broke even now. So then we went home and had an impossible burger 217 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:30.159 and then sweet potato tater tots. So are those any better for you than 218 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:35.080 regular potato tater tots? I mean, I think it's better for you in 219 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.159 like a neutrientt way, maybe, but I don't think they're that like less 220 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:43.840 than calorarily.
