Speaker 1

That sounds like a let me cop Okay, anyway, which category do you fall into?

Speaker 6

The pet one?

Speaker 4

Yeah?

Speaker 6

What I currently have two pet rats. I had a pet rat years ago that was the best rat ever, and I thought, oh, why don't I get too, Then one i'll have a friend. Yeah, they're the meanest little rodents I've ever come across.

Speaker 2

Are they mean to each other or just you?

Speaker 6

No, they get they get along great. But I literally only change their like clean their caids and get some food and water, and that's all I get to do with them because they won't let me hold off.

Speaker 3

It was better to have a single one because then it needed you for companionship.

Speaker 6

Yes, it was one hundred percent better to have a single one. But now I just have two rats in my house that I don't want anymore. But I can't get rid of them because I feel bad.

Speaker 4

So I'm just which one you like the least?

Speaker 3

Like?

Speaker 4

The one you got more recently, is that your least favorite.

Speaker 6

I got them at the same time, so they were like there are two brothers in the same cage, so I bought them together. Oh, one's got dumbo ears and one doesn't. So the dumbo ears one is my favorite and the other one is a little more.

Speaker 4

Skittish, but just regifted for Christmas.

Speaker 6

Someone that's horrible posting them for sale, but I'm like, no, I can't because I feel so guilty and so bad.

Speaker 2

I want to. I get what you're listening. I just doesn't. He has no remorse on anything he does.

Speaker 1

I have my hedgehog for a year and a half, sold it for two hundred bucks on Craigslist. Socks that you just got to find a family that's excited about a rat, that won't pay attention to them.

Speaker 6

And there's not very many people who walk.

Speaker 3

It does take a special kind of person that wants rats, even though I hear that usually they're very smart and good pets.

Speaker 2

You just chose the evil brothers I got you.

Speaker 6

Yeah, they are very good pets, like the one I had before I could let out of my cage and him in my pitple would play together and so unusual, weirdest thing ever.

Speaker 2

Yeah, well, I I wish you luck. Gosh, that's steaks. I thought so bad.

Speaker 6

I know, I've been kind of waiting for them to croak as.

Speaker 2

Dark. It's getting dark, can't you be? What's your name is?

Speaker 6

Patrick?

Speaker 2

Patrick? Which category do you fall into?

Speaker 6

The animal? I had a pet, Gana, but I got.

Speaker 1

Three days before I went to college and left my mother.

Speaker 2

You just went out and purchased this.

Speaker 3

They're like, see a mom, I'm going away.

Speaker 7

I was.

Speaker 6

I worked at a camp and I had to go with somebody because I bit.

Speaker 4

A finger off of someone. Send it home. Yeah, dude, your mom hates you?

Speaker 3

What was what was your mother's was she so mad?

Speaker 6

I home? I had something for you, and then I give to her and she facked out, But then she became really bonded with it. But knapped over the heat lamp and burnt.

Speaker 2

Dude, that was that.

Speaker 1

O'banna has been none of a problematic twist and turn.

Speaker 2

I feel bad. That's It's not like he could help his body knock him the lamp over.

Speaker 1

When you have kids, you you think about like, you know, when they're eighteen, they're not my responsibility anymore. But then you you, as an adult, just burn the bedroom down.

Speaker 4

Give your mom an iguana.

Speaker 6

That's just you.

Speaker 2

What a sweet sign?

Speaker 3

Wow?

Speaker 2

You know what? She is A blessed woman. Thank guys, Thanks Padrick, havevy holidays. It's the smile of the day. On one oh one point three, Katie w B.

Speaker 3

At this point, I swear you've probably seen this video.

Speaker 2

Someone's shared it with you. But it's too cute to not share.

Speaker 3

A little girl with a lot of self confidence goes off script at her school's Christmas concert and everyone's obsessed with it.

Speaker 2

So imagine.

Speaker 3

I mean she is little, she's like five six max. It just grabs the microphone and here's what she says. I am very proud of myself and all my other.

Speaker 2

Friends inside my class.

Speaker 3

And my class is really sweet except one little girl. And the principal grabs the microphone, which is hilarious.

Speaker 2

But it's so cute. How does she have that?

Speaker 4

She's so good at speaking at I know, so good boy, And what happened? What did you do? What would do?

Speaker 3

He steels, He probably did something like this happened to my daughter the other day that one of the boys she plays with all the time he's.

Speaker 2

Like, I'm not playing with you ever again.

Speaker 4

Oh no.

Speaker 3

And then she went and told her friends and they were like, you gotta play with Olive. And then I think they ratted them out to the teachers.

Speaker 2

Yes, kids do that.

Speaker 4

They say I'm not playing with you ever again, and then you're.

Speaker 3

Like, okay, fun fact, they definitely come crawling back and want you to play with them. Okay, So that's very cute. A door, yay ya, We're gonna come back. We're going to the pop Culture Minute. I have so much coming up in the pop Culture Minute. So Brina Carpenter was on Tiny Desk. She did a performance we have that.

Speaker 2

Kelly Clarkson just threw massive shade at her. Ex love that.

Speaker 3

And Rihanna has the perfect bougie but normal soccer mom snack. She shared, We're gonna cover it coming up in the pop Culture Minute in five.

Speaker 8

It's the pop Culture Minute with Vellan and Cult on one on one point three kd w B.

Speaker 3

It's brought to you by Ovo Lasik and Lyn So. Rihanna shared, She's like, first of all, it's a video you can see and it's hilarious.

Speaker 2

I don't know.

Speaker 3

Briann and her friend just seem like they are drunker on something I don't know, but they're.

Speaker 2

Like, here is a luxurious.

Speaker 3

But very chill snack that soccer moms would love, chicken McNuggets and caviar, and they put the caviar on the chicken McNuggets and they go to town. I would I would try it, you know, I'm not above that situation.

Speaker 4

I don't even know where you even begin to get caviar.

Speaker 2

I think you can just get it at the grocery store. I'm not kidding.

Speaker 4

That's the thing.

Speaker 2

Yeah, it's like in.

Speaker 9

A little round like small is it like adult a lounge, Like you need to be a member to get in the back like room to have access to the caviar.

Speaker 3

No networks, they have cheap er caviar and they have extremely expensive caviar. God. Kelly Clarkson is hyping up her Christmas album when Christmas comes around dot dot dot again, and she made sure to throw a little shade to

her ex. They've been a divorce for about two years now. Basically, she dropped an official album visualizer, so it's like you listen to the album and they have like a YouTube kind of video that goes along with it, and it's stockings hung over the fireplace, and the stockings read mom River, which that's her kid's name, Remy, her other kid's name, and then the fourth one says Nope, a complete.

Speaker 2

Shade or she had like millions of millions and he was awful. Remember remember he was like sneaking money.

Speaker 3

He was told her she wasn't hot enough to be a judge on the voice and then she ended up getting the gig anyway, like he he was not a good person, as it turns out, just got money hungry. Speaking of Monday, John Mayer surprised to call that John Mayor had this much money.

Speaker 2

But John Mayr's rich.

Speaker 3

He just officially purchased Jim Henson's studio lot for over forty million dollars. Now, if you're very young, you don't know Jim Henson. He is the creator of like all things like kermitthe frog and that whole thing.

Speaker 2

But they have like a whole.

Speaker 3

Recording studio on this lot, which is I think why John Mayer wants it. Huge things have been recorded there, like the whole We Are the World song, things like that. So they say that he's going to oversee the recording studio. They plan to not make a ton of changes, like they want the staff to keep their name. They may change the name of the lot.

Speaker 2

Though, which would be crazy because you know it's been that for so long.

Speaker 4

But where does he have forty a million dollars from? That's insane to me.

Speaker 3

I'm gonna guess from touring and he I mean he writes all of his own songs.

Speaker 4

When is it gonna happen to us, Allen, when is it gonna happen to us?

Speaker 2

Don't know that that is happening to us ever, but keep on keeping on.

Speaker 9

Uh.

Speaker 3

Sabrina Carpenter is the latest guest on Tiny Desk Performances, which Colt loved the top comment, what did it say on the video?

Speaker 4

So to Sabrina Carpenter, this is a normal.

Speaker 2

Sized desk because she's tiny. You get it. So here's a little clip of that. Well, I'm working because I'm a singer. Oh it looks so cute. I'm not twisted here.

Speaker 3

I'm gonna laugh, so loften and mom, come, I get this voment dream that ex don.

Speaker 2

Walked in and drinking. Yes, all right, thank you.

Speaker 3

I'm gonna check out the full one I saw the dude. The only song I know from DOCI is the song was like what honey and hell that we played here all the time.

Speaker 2

I had no idea.

Speaker 3

Now, okay, very very not safe for work, but you should look at Dochie's tiny desk.

Speaker 2

Very it was. I was like, oh my god, it was great.

Speaker 3

It's so I'm gonna show you a clip of it, not on the radio, because I can't.

Speaker 2

I don't have enough time to edit. I'm looking forward to that Swifty.

Speaker 3

Nikki Glazer remembers she's a comedian, but she's obsessed with Swifty.

Speaker 2

She went to twenty two.

Speaker 3

Of Taylor Swift's eras tour shows. Do you know how much money she spent to go to these shows? And she justified it. She's like, I can spend this much because I don't have kids. And even if she did have kids, she makes a lot of money.

Speaker 4

So whatever is this with room and board?

Speaker 3

Yeah, she said, with travel expenses.

Speaker 4

Okay, doude, it's got to be at least fifty.

Speaker 2

One hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 3

My god, Now that's life changing money to some. But Nicky Laser is a top comedian, she probably made that much. Do in the Tom Brady Roast?

Speaker 2

Honestly?

Speaker 4

Are they friends?

Speaker 7

No?

Speaker 2

And this is what was interesting to me.

Speaker 3

Taylor Swift is usually like super giving to celebrities and stuff.

Speaker 2

I'm actually surprised, but we don't know.

Speaker 3

I feel like she would have offered her some free tickets because she was very open about.

Speaker 2

I mean, she was even here in Minneapolis. She came to one of our shows.

Speaker 1

How often can you like, I mean, could you go twenty something?

Speaker 4

At one point I wanted.

Speaker 3

To be like, all right, yeah, I don't think I need to know that many times done it. I can see, like, you know, three or four, I'd go a few. I'd go a few for sure. But that is your pop culture minute. It's brought to you by Obo, Lesig and Lance.

Speaker 2

Don't worry. I did a little deep dive.

Speaker 3

You'll be surprised to learn how Maria Carrie wrote her song All I Want for Christmas is You. It's coming up in about seven minutes on Katie w B.

Speaker 2

One oh one point three Katie w B. Why are we playing sad music?

Speaker 4

I want a somber vibe. Oh god, this is so sad.

Speaker 2

Don't bring the room down before the holidays.

Speaker 4

No, it's it's more of them. I want people to be in tune with their emotions, and I want you to really feel this because one thing I learned about you.

Speaker 2

You fall.

Speaker 4

One thing I learned about fallon.

Speaker 3

I don't want you to share it because I share a lot of sketchy stuff with you.

Speaker 4

You can peeing under two minutes or just crazy.

Speaker 3

I know you're not supposed to push, but I do sometimes that's wild.

Speaker 4

Does it go everywhere?

Speaker 3

Sometimes your stream can go like a little jagged, but no, mostly it just goes straight.

Speaker 2

Into the toilet.

Speaker 4

Yeah that's I mean, that's good. It's good. So I learned that.

Speaker 1

And I also learned that while is sharing that I told you it's the music making you all emotional.

Speaker 4

You up.

Speaker 2

Oh you're even crying right now. I'm my gosh, tearing up.

Speaker 1

One thing I learned is you're also terrible at accepting compliments.

Speaker 4

You're coughl at it. As soon as someone says one thing, You're like, yeah, suck.

Speaker 2

You are the same way.

Speaker 1

But I want to let you know, on this day, on this Joy's Day, don't do something weird, December twenty It's twenty twenty four at two forty eight pm.

Speaker 4

Yeah, this show want to be here.

Speaker 2

Without you, we wouldn't be called the Fallon and Cold. So you're right, I would be.

Speaker 1

I was really thinking about this because a lot of people say like that it's weird, but a lot of people do say, oh my gosh, whatever, love listening, and I tell them every time it won't be anything about me.

Speaker 2

It's true meaning without you.

Speaker 1

But for real, what I say is fallin puts in eighty percent of the work, and I just kind of I'm throw in some ideas and then I just true, I say some wild stuff that doesn't even make sense half the time.

Speaker 2

Now that part is true, that's the first part is not true.

Speaker 1

And then Fallin is the glue that holds it all together. So I want to say, because of you, my children get to live in a house this winter. Because of you get to shop at Trader Joe's and afford groceries.

Speaker 2

I mean, Whole Foods.

Speaker 4

Well, I try that too expensive.

Speaker 2

I can't, dude, you endorse them?

Speaker 4

Well?

Speaker 2

Rewind rewind rewind.

Speaker 4

Only a whole Whole Foods three sixty five, that's what I do.

Speaker 2

I just just heard your commercial from its my guy.

Speaker 4

No, that was the old me.

Speaker 2

Oh right, Yeah.

Speaker 1

Anyways, because of you, when I look at my Expinity bill that I forgot to pay for three months and there's an outstanding balance, they say they're going to turn it.

Speaker 4

Off, I can afford that bill.

Speaker 1

So thank you Fallan, Yeah, for putting in the amount of effort you do every day and for really making my life a lot more happy and laughable.

Speaker 4

Everybody, I don't know what you say. Humorous, humorous and everybody house in the Twin Cities who listens. Wow, you make you make you make them happy, So I.

Speaker 2

Make everyone's life laughable.

Speaker 4

Speaker 3

I am so disturbed that you fake but I don't know.

Speaker 2

Thank you? That was kind so you can't even accept it serious when you laugh.

Speaker 3

You had a gross, flemy wheeze, and I'm thinking you're gonna give me sick for the holidays.

Speaker 2

I'm so annoyed. Merry Christmas, Christmas.

Speaker 4

Yeah, anyways, cool, So yeah that's it.

Speaker 2

Oh, thank you, Dittoh yeah, oh.

Speaker 4

Speaker 1

We'll also work a little harder so I can afford cooler stuff.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.

Speaker 4

That's all me.

Speaker 2

That's my bad. Okay.

Speaker 3

Arguably everyone's favorite Christmas song. Today's deep dive is on All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey on Katie w B. This Motown flavored song has a simple message Mariah, She's not concerned about all the paraphernalia of Christmas. She just wants to be with her man.

All I Went for Christmas as You was co written and produced by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasi, who started off as Whitney Houston's arranger and is co produced and co written many of Carrie's hits, including One Sweet Day and Zero. He also won a Grammy in ninety nine for co producing Celine Dion's They wrote this song in the summer of nineteen ninety four, with him coming up with the musical ideas on piano, and she developed the

melody and the lyrics. They were setting out to write an up tempo Christmas track in the style of Phil Spector's girl group productions of the sixties.

Speaker 2

They achieved their.

Speaker 3

Goal, creating a very fun and memorable song, but he worried it was too basic. He said, it very simple arrangement. In fact, it's so simple that at the time I thought it was overly simple, and I really didn't like it. Music people know it's kind of like a practice interval. So keeping that tradition and then the oversimplified melody, I guess it actually made it so easily palatable for the whole world to go, oh, I can't get that out

of my head. In her twenty twenty memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, she recalled being in love with the idea of Christmas as a child, but year after year, the holiday was ruined by family members who couldn't keep the peace for even one day. Still, she conjured the image of a perfect Christmas in her mind and revisited it when she began to write this song. She said, it was from my little girl's spirit and those early fantasies of family and friendship that I wrote this song.

The delicate chimes that begin the song are reminiscent of those little wooden toy pianos, like the one from Peanuts. She said, I actually did bang out most of the song on a cheap little cassio keyboard, but it's the feeling I wanted the song to capture. There's a sweetness, a clarity, and a purity to it. This song came from a childlike space. I wrote it when I was twenty two years old, so I wasn't that far away

from being a child. Carrie hits a lot of Chris cliches and the lyrics, including Mistletoe, Santa, Reindeer, and the North Pole, but the song's co writer said she created a lyric that, probably to this day, is the only up tempo Christmas love song. I think people like this positive love song because it's interchangeable. Anybody can sing it to anybody. It's about everybody, and it can only mean one thing, from father to child, or mother to child, or.

Speaker 2

Wife to husband. It's just all I want for Christmas?

Speaker 4

Is you.

Speaker 3

The interesting thing about this song is it's gotten more and more popular over the years, and in twenty ten it found a whole new audience when a version by Big Time Rush made.

Speaker 2

Number one twenty four on the charts.

Speaker 3

The Merry Christmas Album sold three million copies by the end of ninety four. It was certified at five million in two thousand and three, and it makes it one of the best selling Christmas albums ever. Speedway one on one point three k d WB with Fallon and Colt.

Speaker 2

All right, we have so many exciting things coming up.

Speaker 3

First of all, your chance to win Craile Experience passes with our afterschool pop quiz that's around.

Speaker 2

Like three forty ish.

Speaker 3

But also our secret Santa Gift exchange is coming up before the end of the hour. Work excited for that because I want to know who drew my name. Cult wants to know who.

Speaker 2

Drew his name.

Speaker 4

Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 2

We're going to come.

Speaker 3

Back and Colt what do we got what is this? I'm a little you were trying to explain it to me. I'm a little confused.

Speaker 4

I'm something I want you to think about. So you're gonna get a lump sum of money, but you have to do this one thing for five minutes a day, every single day, for the rest of your life. Would you do it?

Speaker 2

I'm listening, Okay, all right?

Speaker 4

Are you in three minutes? You alone? It's you don't have to be found in colts. I don't want you to be hasty with this decision.

Speaker 2

Okay.

Speaker 4

You're gonna get one hundred million dollars.

Speaker 2

Okay, Okay, that's a lot of money.

Speaker 1

You get it right away. You don't get paid out. There's just a boom right in a bank account. Okay, But there's a contingency every single day for the rest of your life. Do you teleport and get dropped into a random part of the ocean for five minutes every day?

Speaker 2

That's really inconvenient.

Speaker 1

Any part of the ocean, any ocean, any part of it.

Speaker 3

Okay, but serious question? Yeah, ah am I okay, because part of me is like am I in the middle of important meetings when it grabs me like how to explain to people.

Speaker 1

Well, I mean, you have one hundred million dollars, you can tell people what's going on.

Speaker 3

Oh, I guess I probably wouldn't have a job. I would just quit my job. Okay, sorry, bye bye. It's just cult in the afternoons.

Speaker 2

Okay. So yeah, I mean, I how could I say no if I'm eaten by a shark.

Speaker 3

I'm live in a crazy life until then you give the day.

Speaker 1

One And it's crazy that you think shark is the scariest one.

Speaker 3

Hundred million has just dropped into my account period boom. Then yeah, because my family would get it, and if that's the way I gotta go, that way to go.

Speaker 4

So dumb.

Speaker 2

No, it's not family. Oh my god, what's wrong.

Speaker 3

So you're saying you would say no and keep working this job for pennies, Well listen, just because you we were afraid maybe a jellyfish and sting.

Speaker 4

Yeah yeah, no, think about this.

Speaker 1

How sad would be every time you get dropped off or every time you like enter the portal to get dropped into the ocean, you got to say bye to your family that you don't know if you're coming back.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that'd be crazy. They would everyone get over it.

Speaker 3

Eventually, I just like, see uh, Jake, and I'd get to the point, like you know, a couple probably even kiss me goodbye anymore.

Speaker 2

It's like, see, I feel like I'm on a conference call.

Speaker 3

Can't can't say bye, I'll see you be quite.

Speaker 2

I'm on a conference call.

Speaker 1

I just feel like your family would prefer you over any amount of money.

Speaker 3

That's not true. You haven't met my family. My family would definitely prefer the money. Number one is such a sucker for you.

Speaker 2

I know him.

Speaker 4

He'd like, no a ney fallon.

Speaker 2

How much time do we have?

Speaker 4

We got some time?

Speaker 2

Okay, I'm gonna call him right now. He would let me go.

Speaker 1

Getting eaten by a shark is probably the least scary thing that could happen to you in the ocean.

Speaker 3

Yeah, but I feel like I could make some Hey, you're on the radio, don't cuss, You're right.

Speaker 2

Doesn't care about he sold you. He's just senting in that moment.

Speaker 4

So rude, busy. Wait, oh no, I can't hear you. I'm counting my money.

Speaker 1

It's like, dude, imagine you get dropped in like something off the coast of Antarctica.

Speaker 2

Though that was really I'm a really optimistic person.

Speaker 3

I'm always a glass half full, glass half full person. So I'm looking at like I'm making new friends. I'm making new discoveries in the ocean. I'm probably getting better at swimming, which is cool.

Speaker 4

Well, the cool thing too is for me. I also want to be worried about losing weight because the more fat I would have, the easier I would float, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2

So I could use that tastier you would look to the creature. You got to think about that.

Speaker 3

Boy, Can I grab a noodle like a pool noodle each time I go? Because I'm worried about how if I can, like paddle for five straight.

Speaker 4

Yeah, that's true. Could you would you be able to make it through rough waters?

Speaker 3

Even five minutes is like a long time when you're just like treading water.

Speaker 2

I'm not buoyant, my boobs are, but I'm not.

Speaker 4

Two three it's not even four seconds. That felt like forever.

Speaker 2

Yeah, you're I'm drowning. Yeah, Sam, let's get the money so quick?

Speaker 9

Yeah?

Speaker 2

So you would do it or not? You didn't really answer.

Speaker 4

I think it would be too scary because you don't know.

Speaker 1

It's just too unpredictable, like what if they drop me off in the middle of like a pirate fight or something.

Speaker 4

I'm like you, and I.

Speaker 2

Could not be different.

Speaker 3

I am not someone who like makes crazy life choices.

Speaker 2

I'm not like irrational.

Speaker 3

However, I am a risk taker when it comes to stuff like that.

Speaker 2

I would not think about it like that.

Speaker 4

Like I give the worst case scenario.

Speaker 1

Imagine you get dropped off next to a polar bear floating on a piece of ice in the in the ocean.

Speaker 2

That's the risk you take. I don't know.

Speaker 4

I'd rather bike to work.

Speaker 2

I feel like you do bike. You sponters the worst. I don't know. Polar bears are so cute.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and I love how your husband he's not even tegst you back or anything.

Speaker 3

He looks he's not even reading my tip. It's not even on red, it's not worried. The phone on the car window to day it was like, screwer, I'm dumb. We're gonna come back with Today's trending on Katie W.

Speaker 8

Bllen Today's Trending with Felon and Colt on one Katie.

Speaker 3

W b Uh What Up is brought to you by nicolay Law dot Com. Uh Party City they're closing nationwide. The last ten Minnesota stores are going to disappear and they're only remaining open until the end of February.

Speaker 2

It's so sad.

Speaker 3

Now realistically, the main reason I still go to Party City balloons, Right, you need balloons for different events. I stop in there, I grab balloons. But it's a bummer. That's a bummer.

Speaker 1

Uh, welcome me to save Party City, like Flavor Flave sweep In, save Red Lobster.

Speaker 3

They they basically the like CEO said, it's really important for you to know that we've done everything possible we could to try to avoid this outcome. Unfortunately, it's necessary to commence, and when a wind down process immediately.

Speaker 1

So does just Amazon. Is that what it is? Is that how I been back? Meond like disappeared as well.

Speaker 3

Amazon's the reason a lot of businesses have disappeared.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 3

I mean someone sent me a Christmas gift today and they were like long lived brick and mortar, and I was like, true, I mean I try to promote local things, but I also definitely post links for Amazon things I find because there is the convenience that goes along with it. But then you feel guilt It's an interesting world because you feel guilt. You want us to support brick and

mortar stores, but let's be honest. A lot of time you go to a brick and mortar store and you're like, I know I can get this, not everything, but certain things cheaper on Amazon, and then you're toorn.

Speaker 2

You're guilt.

Speaker 3

You feel so guilty because you're like, I want to think about my own pocket, but I also want to support this local store. It's an interesting world we live in, but I'm going to guess yes, Amazon is probably the top reason Party City is going out of business.

Speaker 4

Do you know what store will never go out of business because it's just so unique.

Speaker 2

It depends on what you say, if I believe you or not?

Speaker 4

The General Store? Like, is it in Minnetonka? You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1

That's great, dude, Yes, me an endorsement. I want free stuff. You have awesome things.

Speaker 3

Okay, Christmas, it's National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, so some people will hate them, but if you love them, today is your day.

Speaker 2

Celebrate girl.

Speaker 3

I went and bought a bunch of pants today because I want to have matching like PJ.

Speaker 2

Pants with my family.

Speaker 4

Those are pajamas.

Speaker 2

No, no, I want to Yes, they're pajamas.

Speaker 4

The foundain pajamas.

Speaker 3

Today I was in leggings and I changed in these because I'm going on a Christmas lights tour with my neighbor later and you have to wear Christmas pajamas and I don't have time between my show and this Christmas light tour. Change should I change pajamas? You cut off the reason I'm talking about this. I bought matching pajama pants for my whole family, and when I got to work and put them on, I realized about men's pants, there's like the pea whole button.

Speaker 2

My pants not.

Speaker 3

As easy for me to have easy access. It's actually easier for me to pull them down for me to go. So I could I could? They say that today, Saturday and Sunday are the busiest shopping days of the year.

Speaker 2

Yeah, duh, duh, get us.

Speaker 2

We're gonna come back with our Secret standa Exchange on kd WB.

Speaker 3

One oh one point three kd WB with Balan and Culture. We play some Christmas music. Okay, So, about a month ago after Thanksgiving, we drew names for our first annual secretsta here on the Fallon and Colt Show. The rule was you couldn't draw your own name, you could not share what name you did draw, and the spending limit was five dollars. That's right, baby, five dollars. So the time has come, is it? Okay?

Speaker 2

If I go first?

Speaker 4

Oh yeah, who did you get this? Here?

Speaker 2

I drew you cult No stop, I know, I know.

Speaker 4

I know you.

Speaker 1

You don't listen to the rules. You definitely spend over five dollars.

Speaker 2

No, I spent exactly five dollars.

Speaker 4

Guy, he's getting a dinner.

Speaker 3

And there might have been tax it might have been taxed, but I absolutely spent five dollars. Okay, okay, And there's a reason I was.

Speaker 4

So nicely wrapped.

Speaker 3

There's a reason I chose this. So one thing you said you were hoping to.

Speaker 2

Do more of.

Speaker 4

Oh no, this is thoughtful.

Speaker 2

Was you were saying, Okay, go ahead and open it.

Speaker 1

I just want to let everybody know the wrapping paper or the bag it's in probably costs more.

Speaker 4

Than five dollars. It's probably cost more than the gift.

Speaker 7

I know.

Speaker 2

I regifted that back. That was a backup.

Speaker 3

Okay, I got you a book, no way, And because Colt said he wants to read more in twenty twenty five, and the book says stress free Productivity because you're always the thing I like about you cult is you're always like working hard to grow as a person and learn, and so I thought that might be helpful for you because I know you get stressed sometimes and we obviously have a really creative job. So I thought I saw stress Free Productivity book, and I thought this will be

great for Colt. So anyway, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 1

Okay, this this is so thoughtful.

Speaker 2

Did you draw? Whose name did you draw?

Speaker 4

I got your name?

Speaker 2

Oh, I got your name? Okay, And.

Speaker 4

It's not wrapped.

Speaker 3

That's okay, because it was a five dollars limit. I'm not upset that it isn't wrapped.

Speaker 4

And I got you two gifts.

Speaker 1

Oh, because I know you like eye Coke and Reese's Peanut buttercups. I got you that just pulled out on my backpack. I know you like drinking DC's.

Speaker 2

And eating not even a cold diet coke? How long.

Speaker 1

Back since seven thirty this morning when I got out a target, you didn't even put it.

Speaker 2

In the fridge when you got to work. I do, uh, you know what I.

Speaker 3

Am focusing on being grateful you. I do love Reese's Cups. That is very thoughtful, and I do we both love d C's.

Speaker 1

Thank you cold because I know you just lot Yeah, you like the liquids.

Speaker 3

I will say my favorite candy is peanut butter m and MS, followed by Snickers than maybe twigs.

Speaker 1

But this book, but this is a very thoughtful book and I will be reading it over my break and hopefully you eat.

Speaker 4

You can enjoy that. The beverage and that treat.

Speaker 2

It was five dollars. It's hard to get creative.

Speaker 3

It's actually worse when it's when people try to like make a gift. I would way rather have to spend five dollars on a gift than.

Speaker 2

Make a gift.

Speaker 4

I probably could have put in some more effort.

Speaker 3

It does feel like you just went to the checkout lane, like you didn't even go into the store, like you quickly went in to the checkout light and just grabbed two things.

Speaker 1

But and also those two things, there's something I could have gotten out of the vending machine at work as well.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and honestly, it wouldn't have been five dollars now that I think about it. A single diet coke and a bottle and a Reces candy bar is about three dollars.

Speaker 2

So you did you?

Speaker 6

Hold on?

Speaker 2

Did you go under the limit when we owe me my dollar limit? Yeah? Yeah, you are oh cheap. I've never in my life been a cheaper person, Mary Chrysler. I mean, I still love it, but holy snike.

Speaker 4

Wow.

Speaker 1

All right, well I'm gonna try it next. You have have an opportunity to redeem myself next year. What God willing if I chose jobs next year? Well, I don't know if I'm gonna draw you next year. The book It's true.

Speaker 3

One oh one point three k d WB with Fallon and cult MABESTI just exchanged our secret Santa gifts and feel in Hi, but got a diet coke and Rece's seat of Reese's cups for the actually need snacks for the road later, so that'd be great.

Speaker 4

Yeah, you're welcome.

Speaker 1

I got a very nice book about relieving stress and.

Speaker 4

What was it about again? And productivity and productivity.

Speaker 2

Yes, we're gonna.

Speaker 3

Come back and play our final round of radio s categories of the year. So when we come back on one O one point three k d w B one O one point three KTEWB with Fallon and cult and guess what we we begged? We pleaded, We said, please, as a Christmas miracle for the Twin Cities, would you come join our show? We said this to so I would would you? We would pull the microphone over. I feel like, would you consider.

Speaker 2

You're a talking I was wondering. I was like, something doesn't feel right.

Speaker 3

He's a microphone here at the radio station. Would you consider yourself a friend of the show at this point?

Speaker 9

I would consider myself a BFF A BFF ots Did I do that right?

Speaker 2

I don't know. I think a best friend forever of the show. I so did get out of here? You did I concur So this is Dylan Michael White. Why do you say the middle name because it's.

Speaker 3

Annoying and I am major annoying my whole life, so I'm not gonna stop now.

Speaker 2

A lot of people know him. He has the internet.

Speaker 3

Fame of dad chats and on TikTok. But you are Dylan Michael White on Instagram.

Speaker 9

I am at the airport and we got home from our miserable road trip last week. That was actually a lot of fun. But my my son thin is really funny because he knows how much annoys me. He's six, call me daddy, which I I de spies.

Speaker 2

I'm pretty sure calls you that too.

Speaker 9

I do messages. And he was screaming in the airport. It's like five am. We haven't slept right and he's just screaming daddy, daddy, and everyone's like, what is going on. I'm like, we gotta find that kid's parent.

Speaker 2

Lose a child.

Speaker 6

Now.

Speaker 3

This is one of the crazier things because they say when you go on vacation with kids, it's not vacation, it's a trip.

Speaker 2

You went across the country. Which how many children do you have? Four? Four children? And what are your ages?

Speaker 9

For a second, yeah, eight six two, and then like a borderline newborn for.

Speaker 2

Line new board and really fun.

Speaker 3

You had a great idea, you said, why would we fly back in a matter of four hours when we could.

Speaker 9

Here's the thing, we don't really ever go on vacation, so we were just really excited to be on there. It was really fun. But it always one of these I've noticed is especially with like multiple kids, it takes a couple of days to really get used to the fact that you're on vacation. Yes, so the first couple days end up being kind of stressful, right, and so once we get into the group like, oh my gosh, this is actually really fun, then you have to leave and you're like.

Speaker 2

Well that's no fun. Absolutely.

Speaker 9

That happened to coincide at the same time with Friday morning we're to fly out of Seattle, and both my two younger ones had fevers. Oh now, and like it just kind of looked like they were in pain. We put them on a plane for three and a half hours. That's gonna be miserable for everyone involved. So I had the really bright ideas in my dad mode to be like, what if we just drove.

Speaker 2

Sounds awful. Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 9

In theory, it sounded it sounded great to me at least because I hadn't done my research yet. So I hadn't done my research to figure out that not only was it a twenty four hour drive, but it turns out the drive from Seattle to Minnesota is like eighty percent mountains and it's December.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I'm comfortable.

Speaker 9

Driving in the snow here because I know that off to my right or left is not you know, a black hole cosm of sea and ocean potentially correct those roads from Seattle to we only made it to Montana before we were you know, caught in a Cornett McCarthy novel. But by the time that we like got to Montana, like those roads are you have no idea what's going on?

Speaker 2

It's pitch black. There's no lights right anywhere. No, why would we have a street light right now? That's crazy.

Speaker 9

The only lights you see when you're up in these mountains are the ones that are flashing that are like, don't be driving right now.

Speaker 2

You're like, well, it's too late if I see that kind of a guiding beacon now And actually.

Speaker 9

Told me this seven and a half hours ago, yeah, and it's so bad that there's there's highways there where they have you know, railroad crossings. Wait, where they have those things down, they will like close off highways. Oh great, like they'll close off.

Speaker 2

The mountain roads when it gets too bad.

Speaker 9

And I swear Suzanne didn't see this, but I could have sworn as we were driving on ninety at one point, like we passed one and I could swear after we passed it that it lowered, that for sure, but it looked it might have been a fever dream.

Speaker 3

I assume the road conditions were rough, but the children and everything easy, greasy, making it, making it peaceful.

Speaker 2

Actually, they did really well.

Speaker 9

Okay, that's good that the newborn, well I say newborn, he's five months. He did not do awesome because at a certain point he just was tired of being in his car seat. We end up taking we ended up taking us a six twenty red flight out of Billings, Montana.

Speaker 3

Because the final straw, yeah that you were like, we had we looked hire the car.

Speaker 2

We made it.

Speaker 9

We made it to Bozeman, and at that point we've been in the car for a combined probably fifteen hours.

Speaker 2

And if we're new Google maps. We traveled for five.

Speaker 9

So and then we heard that there was supposed to be an ice storm that was coming all through North Dakota in exact way that we were going. And already, like it's a twenty four hour drive if you're going to the average to be a limit of seventy miles per hour, we were going thirty maybe the entire way and taking one hundred and.

Speaker 2

Five bathroom breaks.

Speaker 9

Yeah, So it was basically we either we either fly out on like the last NonStop flight available, or we ended up getting stuck here until you.

Speaker 2

Know, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Speaker 9

In retrospect, I kind of wish we had just gotten stuck because my five month old has not slept since we got back because he was so thrown off I think all nighter. My other kids were just they were so feverishly uh not aware of what was going on. They were like hallucinating, and they were so fun that brings them entertainment at least.

Speaker 2

Yeah, they were great.

Speaker 9

My two year old, I thought was going to have a miserable flight instead the whole time she just sat next to me in the flight back, just kept rubbing my arm and going, I love you, dada.

Speaker 2

Oh this nice. We're only taking red eye flights for the rest.

Speaker 4

Of yeah, silver lining.

Speaker 1

I'm surprised. I would have just gotten an apartment in Seattle and chess live there for yeah, for the winter and maybe come back.

Speaker 11

I would take that person would have squatted like you did last right, not on not on the.

Speaker 3

Ri radio obviously, or you're down and you're you're gonna play little radio categories with us when we come back, correct?

Speaker 2

Is it playing if you're guaranteed to win at this point? You know on this one is I'm not confident about anything in my life.

Speaker 4

So but this is it.

Speaker 3

We're gonna come back and play radios categories with dead chat still in Michael White obviously in five minutes on one O one point three k d W beats Rana Carpenter bed KEMP one O one point three k d W B with Fallon and cult and here we go.

Speaker 1

I mean, if if we were going so I believe anything, Look, if the tiebreaker was who spent the least amount of time, it would go to you.

Speaker 4

But I don't think that's a rule. So it's a tie nine to nine.

Speaker 2

Does that mean we need a lightning ROUNDE?

Speaker 3

That means I get to we get to have an arm wrestling situation, and I get.

Speaker 2

Speaker 10

Too?

Speaker 4

Penguins? How can you be so feathery but slippery at the same time, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3

Well, yeah, they're just like on snow and they're not like really slipping or pulling.

Speaker 4

Well, you see them all the time. They just flop down on their belly and they just go, yeah, they do. And how do you get so fast in the water when you don't even have like fins? Have you seen a penguin dive underwater?

Speaker 2

They're fast, so agile.

Speaker 4

And they mate for life. That's a real one.

Speaker 3

Name another species that does, and don't say humans.

Speaker 1

And if you think you're progressive, dude, dad, he's holding that egg the entire time. Mom just playing mom does barely any work.

Speaker 3

I'm gonna be honest, Well, there's one species for that's the case.

Speaker 4

Don't even I Mom's basically going out to bars.

Speaker 2

I saw one penguin. I saw one penguin.

Speaker 1

Mom was just like chain smoking and the dad's like they're shivering, keeping the the egg nice and warm.

Speaker 4

She's like, got a bottle of Jack Daniels.

Speaker 2

She's like, I'm staying warm with Jack all day.

Speaker 4

He's crying in the corner.

Speaker 2

What kind of weird things do you watch on TikTok? My god, who jumps on her belly slides away? It's crazy.

Speaker 4

They're in and out.

Speaker 2

Cask you a serious question.

Speaker 4

It's up.

Speaker 3

Why is breakfast food just like breakfast food? Because I don't like look at like, for instance, you can have steak in the morning and it's not like dinner food. But then if I say I'm having pancakes for dinner, people are like, what, that's weird? Why why is that weird? Why can't I Why.

Speaker 2

Does it have to be just at breakfast? I don't understand.

Speaker 3

Yeah, why are we Why are we keeping things limited in categories?

Speaker 4

I'm sorry?

Speaker 1

You know what, this is a great question because my toddler just asked me why can't I have a mini ice cream at seven am?

Speaker 4

I was like, are you gonna have it later? She's like why later? Why not now?

Speaker 3

And then you probably gave her pancakes and syrup and you were like, because of the sugar.

Speaker 2

They know six It's exactly why.

Speaker 3

This is something Jake and I've talked about so many times, how like kids love to eat just the icing on the cupcake.

Speaker 2

And you'd be like, hey, you gotta eat the rest of that cupcake, not just the icing. Why why it's all just sugar? So what you've been thinking again?

Speaker 4

Sometimes I forget as an adult you can literally do whatever you want, Like let's say right now, well, lost, I mean like right now I smoke or my gi lad, Yeah, my ancestors coming down from the trailer party.

Speaker 2

Your ancestral might as well.

Speaker 4

Speaker 3

Your final word? And it's the one I said I thought would be the most difficult to watch.

Speaker 2

He's just gonna get it.

Speaker 1

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. The obvious answer, it's tree. But I don't think you're I don't think you're obvious, Hannah. I don't think you're obvious.

Speaker 2

And you can't say anything.

Speaker 4

Christmas. What are you doing? Christmas carols? Christmas carols?

Speaker 2

Yes, let's go.

Speaker 7

No, my sister from another mister, I want it away, but I want to give you the benny.

Speaker 2

I'm kind of.

Speaker 8

Chris.

Speaker 6

I love it.

Speaker 2

Today's trending with Felon and cold on one on.

Speaker 9

W B.

Speaker 2

Not to be the bearer of bad news.

Speaker 3

But they're closed in all the party cities, like everywhere, even the ones here in the Twin Cities.

Speaker 2

There are like ten locations.

Speaker 3

They said they basically tried everything, and it's just it's they couldn't save it. And it makes fairly sad because Party city it's like a it's like a blockbuster. It's an establishment that's been around forever. You go in, you pick out your balloons or your decor. And I know, obviously it's probably places like Amazon that are the reason they are closing.

Speaker 1

But it's gonna be like family video, dude, it's just all gonna go away. We're just gonna be now, We're gonna have to leave the house.

Speaker 3

I think there's actually one family video left in like Robbinsdale.

Speaker 2

Am not kidding. It's yeah, I need to go unless it's close now. But I mean it was so recently. Yes, it was very cool. Other things. First of all, I don't know if you realize this very cool.

Speaker 3

This is like the first time in a long time that Chrismas some Hankah fall in the same day, and I think that only happens now. I know there are eight days of Hanukkah, but like the main day, I think the last day, right is like the day that that falls on Christmas.

Speaker 2

I'm definitely worthy. I don't know you're telling me, but it only happens like every fifteen years. That happens.

Speaker 4

So what are we going to celebrate?

Speaker 1

Like, are people who celebrate Hankah and Christmas going to come together and do like trades's on gifts or something, or do you do you get gifts on hankah tea?

Speaker 4

These things?

Speaker 2

Well, so my understanding.

Speaker 3

Obviously I'm not Jewish, so I don't want to speak on behalf of the Jewish community. But my husband's family is Jewish like his father's side, and so I think a lot of people do choose to do it different ways. Some people will do one gift each night for the eight nights. Some people do them all like the first night, some do them.

Speaker 2

All the final night.

Speaker 3

So I think every person chooses. So I don't think there will be like any trade seas Christmas.

Speaker 1

But I want to know if somebody got like a katana or something I could like trade for. I don't know, like a babe blader. I don't know what I'm going to give.

Speaker 3

Weird question, weird question, I don't have the answer for you. Also, today is National Ugly Christmas Sweaturday. Okay, crazy, so true, but all right, they do say this Saturday, by the way, Super Saturday. It's like basically the busiest day shopping behind Black Friday of the year. But ye, at this point there's no avoiding it. Every day until Christmas is the busiest shopping days of the year. So if you wait until this moment sending blessings.

Speaker 4

Your way could have gotten up with seven thirty. Look I didn't. What's the target?

Speaker 8

That is?

Speaker 3

Your trending gets brought to you by nicolay Law dot com. Arguably everyone's favorite Christmas song, today's deep dive is on All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey on Katie w B. This Motown flavored song has a simple message to Mariah, She's not concerned about all the paraphernalia of Christmas.

Speaker 2

She just wants to be with her man.

Speaker 3

All I Went for Christmas As You was co written and produced by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasi, who started off as Whitney Houston's arranger and has co produced and co written many of Carrie's hits, including One Sweet Day.

Speaker 4

And.

Speaker 3

He also won a Grammy in ninety nine for co producing Celine Dion's They wrote this song in the summer of nineteen ninety four, with him coming up with the musical ideas on piano and she developed the melody and the lyrics. They were setting out to write an up tempo Christmas track in the style of Phil Spector's girl group productions of the sixties.

Speaker 2

They achieved their.

Speaker 3

Goal creating a very fun and memorable song, but he worried it was too basic. He said, it's a very simple arrangement. In fact, it's so simple that at the time I thought it was overly simple, and I.

Speaker 2

Really didn't like it. Music people know, it's kind of like a press interval.

Speaker 3

So keeping that tradition and then the oversimplified melody, I guess it actually made it so easily palatable for the whole world to go, oh, I can't get that out of my head. In her twenty twenty memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, she recalled being in love with the idea of Christmas as a child, but year after year the holiday was ruined by family members who couldn't keep the peace for even one day. Still, she conjured the image of a perfect Christmas in her mind and revisited

it when she began to write this song. She said, it was from my little girl's spirit and those early fantasies a family and friendship that I wrote this song. The delicate chimes that begin the song are reminiscent of those little wooden toy pianos like the one from Peanuts. She said, I actually did bang out most of the song on a cheap little cassio keyboard. But it's the feeling I wanted the song to capture. There's a sweetness, a clarity, and a purity to it. This song came

from a childlike space. I wrote it when I was twenty two years old, so I wasn't that far away from being a child. Carrie hits a lot of Christmas cliches and the lyrics, including Mistletoe, Santa, Reindeer, and the North Pole, but the song's co writer said she created a lyric probably to this day, is the only up tempo Christmas love song. I think people like this positive love song because it's interchangeable. Anybody can sing it to anybody.

It's about everybody, and it can only mean one thing, from father to child, or mother to child, or wife to husband.

Speaker 2

It's just all I want for Christmas?

Speaker 4

Is you.

Speaker 3

The interesting thing about this song is it's gotten more and more popular over the years, and in twenty ten it found a whole new audience when a version by Big Time Rush made number one twenty four on the charts. The Merry Christmas album sold three million copies by the end of ninety four. It was certified at five million in two thousand and three, and it makes it one of the best selling Christmas one oh.

Speaker 2

One point three KDWB with Salin and Coult. That's it. I'm leaving.

Speaker 3

It's Friday, baby, I'm heading out doing a little Christmas light viewing.

Speaker 4
