8am Hour - Even Better Under Anesthesia

But you know what's funny.

We were just talking with Caitlyn for Christmas Wish and during that commercial and Caitlyn, you've been listening to the show for quite some time, is that true?

Yes, since I moved here about six years ago.

Where did you move here from New York?

Oh?

My god?

What brought you to the to the frozen tundra?

My husband's family's here, so we settled down and had a family in the Twin City.

Oh nice? Do you like it here?

I love it.

What's your favorite radio station?

KATIEWB.

You got it right.

We're about to do a Christmas wish right now on Katie will be Live as it happens with Caitlyn. Let's get started, even imagine of the holidays, Dave Ryan's Christmas Wish. We are going to deliver a Christmas wish in a moment.

But let's find out.

How do you know the family or the couple that you are making a wish for?

Caitlin?

Yeah?

So I met John working when I first moved here in twenty nineteen at a hotel I was working at. We were both chefs in the hotel. Well, you're a chef, was I was a pastry chef, I'm not anymore.

Do they holler at each other and save chef's hands?

Ye, it's very real.

Yes, okay, do you watch that show of the Bear.

I do. It's a little traumatized.

I was gonna say, as a former server, it is thost shows where you're like, oh God, I'm.

Going to have a nightmare to buy it hands. Okay, And that's how you know Jonathan and then Rachel.

Yes, so Rachel started working at the hotel a little later on and we all met there.

This must not be a holiday in Express if they have a chef and a kitchen and all that, right.

It's not. It's the High Regency Minneapolis.

Oh okay, very nice. Okay, well, Caitlin, let's find out. We're going to find out a little bit more about your Christmas wish. Before we make the phone call to Jonathan and Rachel, we always check in with Brandon from College Muscle Movers to make sure that Brandon is in position to deliver the wish, and it's our backup in case they don't answer the phone. Brandon, Hello, Brandon, he is there. How you been Brandon? The phone is not working?

Right?

You all ready for Christmas? Brandon, you got the tree up and everything. Oh yet, okay, Brandon.

You got a week. You got a week, Brandon. Have you been down to the mall to do your shopping yet? Brandon, this phone's not working either. Buy yourself a new phone.

Brandon.

We love you, Brandon. Thanks for doing what you do with College Muscle Movers. If you're moving anytime of the year, remember here's a company that on their own, not charging us anything. They're going out and delivering. So when you have a choice of movers, remember the ones who gave for Christmas wish, College Muscle Movers. I hope they get so booked with moves that Brandon has to work twenty two hours a day.

That's my that's my Christmas wish.

New phone.

Yeah yeah, Brandon, all right, Brandon, thank you.

Let's make the phone call right now, and uh and see if we can get them on the phone. And we're gonna called Jonathan or Rachel John. Yeah, okay, we're gonna call John Man if we can get him.

On the phone.

Huh, Hey, John, it's Dave Ryan over at kd WB. How are you this morning. I'm doing doing good. I'm sure you might have an idea why we are calling. Would you have an inkling why we'd be calling?

Maybe?

Maybe?

Okay, Well, it's okay if you know it is Katwb's Christmas wish and you have been selected as a recipient of a Christmas wish from your friend Caitlin. Let me get her chef.

Okay, how did you know about that?

How did you know about chef?

No?

Oh, but his sister's there. I work with her. Make sure he answered the phone.

Okay, it's a big mystery. We're going to reveal this.

So basically, Caitlyn wrote in Jonathan, she told us about the challenges that you and your family are facing, and she had a wish for your family, and we wanted to make that wish come true and brighten up the day, brighten up the season a little bit for you and Rachel and the family. She wrote us an email, and she's going to read it for you and for all of us right now, if you will, Caitlyn.

I'm gonna try not to correct.

It's okay.

I first met John in twenty nineteen when we both moved to Minnesota and began working together at a hotel. John recently returned home from Miami after the passing of his mother, choosing to be closer to his father, who is death. From the start, getting to know John was effortless. He's one of the most laid back people I've ever met, and we've shared countless laughs.

In the kitchen.

We often joked that John was the loudest person we knew, with no indoor voice. Growing up in a death household, his parents never told him to quiet down, and that became part of his charm in the kitchen world. Fellow chef's become family, and John quickly became like our brother, the one we teased but deeply cared for. John's story with Rachel began when her father joined the hotel's engineering department and soon brought Rachel to work there as well.

In March of twenty six.

Life seemed to be at its brightest until John suddenly experienced severe leg pain and swelling A trip to the er revealed a tumor pressing against his femur, blocking blood flow. After extensive testing, John was diagnosed with stage four to fuse large B cell lymphoma, an aggressive and rare form of cancer. Since then, John's placed on bed rest, unable to continue to physically the physically demanding work of being

John, You're going to be.

A dad, Yeah I am.

Yeah, just a few months away. Are you excited about that?

Yeah, he's going to be a boy.

It's going to be a boy. Look at this. I love that.

Yeah. Christmas is probably going to be a little bit different this year. It was just one day earlier this year than what you just like an a in your leg, or you just you went to the doctor thinking they'd probably give you some tile and all and something and everything would be okay.

Yeah, pretty much.

I mean I was getting scans for back stuff and then I found out that I thought it was back related injury stuff, and it ended up being something that I didn't expect, obviously, something.

Much more serious in life altering. Well, we wish you the best in your in your journey through everything that's ahead. And there's so many people that know you and love you and your family, and Rachel and wants you to have the.

Best possible Christmas.

And that's kind of what Christmas is all about, and that is just kind of letting you know through things and experiences and love that you are cared for and supported. And so for Christmas, wish we've got some things for you and your family. Now, first of all, let's talk about you have a baby name picked out.

Oh yeah, Carter, Carter ew that.

Well, guess what we found your baby registry and we've had a little fun. So here's what we got for your baby. The Monami baby swing, I think is how you say it. We've got a safety first ever slim four in one convertible car seat. By the way, it'll take you about a half an hour to figure out how to get that in the car. Just to let you know it's always tough. We've got it. It's true. Trust me, the Honey Joy Pack and play with Bassinette. They've all been ordered. They will be shipped to you.

We did hear about that, so we did call our friends over at sixty five to one Carpets Plus and we ordered you a two thousand dollars credit to use that.

Wow.

However, sixty five to one called us back and they said that they want to donate another one thousand dollars thank you to sixty five to one Carpets Plus, and they're going to help you get some new carpet.

Now, now I got it.

It's okay. I would get excited too. He just said, Holy blink.

But I love it. I love that you're on the radio.

Pal.

No, no, no, I'm glad we're making you laugh. Well, we'll get some other stuff. I'm sorry about your team. You love the Vikings though, right, Yeah, there's always next year. We've heard you love food and football, so we got your Vikings justin Jefferson, Jersey. We got you a pair of Nike dunks. And also somebody said you wanted a smoker and grill.

No, I mean, yeah, well you got one.

I got one. Let me tell you they're great. You're gonna love it. This.

We get to an Oklahoma Joe's Highland smoker and grill. When the weather warms up, or even if it's not, you take it out of the back deck and do your thing. We got a bunch of other things.

Yeah, I'll smoke in the winter. I don't care absolutely uh.

And then for Rachel mom, we got a where is Rachel anyway? She right there with you.

She's here.

You Hi, Rachel.

For Rachel, also a suffering Vikings fan, we got you a Viking sweatshirt. We got you a three hundred dollars Dix gift card, which is like an amusement park for adults.

You go through Dicks. It's like, oh that's cool. Oh I want that. I want that.

I'm going to send over there with three hundred dollars one hundred and fifty dollars gift card to Woodhouse, spawn Eden, Prairie if you get a chance to go over there, some other things for the family, just a smattering of different things to kind of ease that financial burden, so you won't wonder because I don't know anything about your financial situation, but I'm going to guess there's bills and trips, and there's bills and bills and things like that, and

Brisket to smoke on that new smoker. Very nice. That's from High V.

A holiday gas card for one hundred and one dollars, four hundred dollars, four hundred dollars Crisp and Green gift card, which is awesome, everything from oil changes, one hundred dollars, Broadway Pizza gift card, one hundred dollars gift card over at Olympia Cafe, and eros. I think that's how you say it in Ossio. Thanks to Kate and everybody at

Thank you so much.

It is you know, we're so and we just wish you the best.

I'm not sure what the prognosis is, but we wish you nothing but the best in your in your medical journey. And Rachel and congrats on being a new mom Rachel and a new dad Jonathan. Yeah, so Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you from everybody here at Katie.

Would be love you, Bud, love you too.

We also have a guy outside your house that's going to be dropping off a bunch of gifts, so let him in. His name's Brandon and he is our little elf dropping off.

Gifts for you.

Yeah, that's him, all right.

Thanks you guys, take care, Merry Christmas and thanks for being on KTWB. That is Christmas wish and thank you Caitlin for nominating this family. Thanks for having me very sweet on KTWB. You know I try not to do a lot of prying. And sometimes I'm curious like the rest of us, but I didn't really ask John a whole lot about, you know, like how life turns on

Like bot's cancer. Yeah, you're gonna.

Die, but you go in and you kind of know that they're going to tell you, Like I went in for my stomach many times and my pilcam thing that came back a week ago and it was fine, and it usually is right. But think about how lucky you are that it's fine, because people like John, they did not get the it's fine diagnosis, and it's been you know, appointments and scans and trips and things like that.

So just kind of one of the.

Reminders, as cranky as we can be about Okay, my phone doesn't work right, I need a new phone. Oh, I dropped my phone in the in the toilet.

Whatever. Things could be a whole lot different. And we had to do a big thank you.

Because it was funny because John got so excited that he said holy s on the radio and I had to push the dump button, which.

Cut off a big thank you, cut off a big thank you.

So we had said how they we heard that they need a new carpet, and we had called our friends over at six five one Carpets Plus and ordered a two thousand dollars credit for the family to use. But then six y fy one call us back and so that they would donate another thousand dollars, So we got to give.

Them a huge thank you.

They're your hometown choice for flooring and countertops and all customers receive free estimates, guaranteed low pricing and lightning a fast installation. You can check them out at sixfy one carpets dot com. And yeah, Dave did not cut me off, just for anyone who was texting, and we had to cut off some of the audio because we couldn't let that swear word.

Well, the the iHeartRadio appen. If you listen to an iHeartRadio, you hear all the swares. Yeah, because it doesn't come out on the heart radio because it's it's illegal to swear on public airwaves. But on a podcast you can swear all you want to test. That's right. I can do some other thank yous too. Plugs Electric cup in Forest Lake, they're so generous. Plug z Electric Thank you, Great Clips Love you guys. Was over to see Emily get my herd cut about a week ago and the

They called and said we're gonna send some over. What's the address? They sent two thousand dollars worth of pizza gift cup gift cards. Wow, and a one hundred dollars gift certificate to Olympia Cafe and eros. Is that how you say it? I'm pretty sure it is. It is

Agency, yeah they gave ten thousand dollars and they sent a really nice email just saying how like Our christmas wish really inspires people to hopefully do something else nice for the holiday, season whether it's donate To Christmas wish or do something.

Else so that was.
