Speaker 1 (00:00):
When you were a little kid, what did you want?
We all wanted something? What did you want that you
never got? My brother wanted a mini bike, my sister
wanted a horse. They never got them. It's just part
of childhood. It's like I want this, Yeah, I want
a pony.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I want you get a cloak from Harry Potter so
I could be like a Harry Potter, like a Hogwarts student.
That's all I wanted was to be in my full
fantasy of Hogwarts.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
But I never got one.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
That seems fairly economical. Why did Mama Ronda never get
you a cloak?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Well, she didn't really care for Harry Potter, and so
I thought I would get it from my dad and
he did not get me one. And one year I
thought I was going to get it because the package
for Christmas squishy yeah, and.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
I was like, oh my gosh, this is it and
it was a pillow.

Speaker 5 (00:42):
Oh no, oh the disappointment. Well, okay, that reminds me
my daughter Beth. She so badly wanted a baby feels
So real. She was eleven years old, and the baby
Feels So Real was a baby doll with a soft
spot on its little, squishy little head. Because a baby
has a soft spot, and it felt like the real

(01:03):
weight of a baby. And she was eleven years old
and I was a young parent, and I didn't know.
I said, she's too old for a baby doll. So
on Christmas she was just kind of sad all day,
and I tried to cheer her up. What you get
for Christmas? Well, I got this and this and this.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
And this, and I was like, I look back and
I go, God, I should have got her A baby
feels so real. That's really all she wanted.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
I always asked my mom for a pogo stick, and
I don't think I would have used it much, But
then what I really wanted was a wizard wand and
my mom was like, I'm not paying all this money
because they're expensive.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
I'm not paying all this money for a wooden stick.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
I used to be like, I mean, she's right.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, now looking at it, what did you want? Leave
us to talk back on the iHeart Radio app.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
It's Jordan from Albertville. The one thing I always wanted
when I was.

Speaker 7 (01:51):
A kid with a ferret, and I never got one
until my adult life.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So I'm glad you got your ferret. But I can
see mom and Dad going, b I'm stinky.

Speaker 7 (02:03):
Toy that I absolutely wanted, wanted, wanted so bad when
I was younger was a cabbage patch doll. I let
everybody in my family know I wanted this cabbage patch doll.
They were the hit toy oh year, oh yeah. And
when Christmas came around, I got a homemade cabbage patch.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Oh how sad I had a cabbage patch doll.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
But I already had two other dollies before that were like,
I don't know, the kind that you could feed or something.
And I loved those two dollies. So when my mom
gave me the cabbage patch doll, I was like, well,
how can I care for this one?

Speaker 8 (02:39):
I already.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
What did you want? Leave it? Talk back.

Speaker 9 (02:44):
When I was a.

Speaker 10 (02:44):
Little kid, I always really wanted a mi sized Barbie,
and every year at Christmas, I would be so sad
because I wouldn't get a my size Barbie. But one
year my parents got me the Barbie vacation House that
it was like a fold in fun vacation house and
that almost made up where it then I right afterward

(03:06):
it was like, thanks for the vacation house, but where
is my my size bart?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I think the lesson is, if your kid really wants something,
go ahead and get it for him. I mean, not
something outrageous, you know, like their own circus. I want
my own circus pony. But if you can afford it
and it's reasonable, go ahead and get it for him,
even if it's like, wow, she's too old for that.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
All right, Next one.

Speaker 11 (03:28):
So, back in the late nineties early two thousands, they
had those Razor scooters. Yes, and I really wanted one,
but you're kind of poor, so I wasn't able to
ever get one. So at Target they had a demo
model and I was with my mom and my sister,
and I ended up chasing this kid around that was
on the demo model for like twenty minutes, and the
whole time my mom didn't know where I was, and

(03:50):
it turned into a whole fiasco where I got paged overhead.
Let's just say when we got back in the car,
I got.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
A whooping oh paged at the Target.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Bailey, please come to the front. Your mom is looking
for you.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh crap, Right, what did you want that you never
got when you were a kid.

Speaker 7 (04:09):
The toy I wanted so bad I would beg for
all the time was a Nintendo DM.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yes, all my friends had one.

Speaker 10 (04:16):
It was all the rays.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
He would talk back with each other on the the
DS and you.

Speaker 10 (04:23):
Could use it at home with.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
You didn't have a phone. Obviously at the time, it was.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
So cool a Nintendo DS.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
The great thing is when you get to become an adult,
you can buy these things. Yeah, you can buy a
Razor scooter, but the thrill is not quite the same
as when you're seven years old. All right, what did
you want when you're a kid? Didn't get one?

Speaker 8 (04:45):
My husband really wanted a Kapucha monkey and he still talks.

Speaker 12 (04:50):
About it to this day.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Get one monkey.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
I guess it's a little like a Friends, like remember
the monkey on Friends?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Like a live monkey, like a live monkey. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (05:01):
I wanted an easy bake oven and my neighbor girl
had one, and we were so jealous of her. We
made fun of her or using a small oven and said,
we just used our mom's big, big oven.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Because you're jealous.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, and the stuff that that made, like the easy
bake oven like a cake, and the easy bake disgusting.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
So it was, it really was.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
I had to It was not good, not good at all.
You didn't have an easy bake oven. Dave, nobody else
got one the three of us. I definitely had one too.
I did not care. So many people were like only girls.
I was like, I don't care. I'm baking brownies. I
don't care. We have more talk bags, one more. Okay,
here it is.

Speaker 8 (05:47):
When I was little, the one thing I wanted was
a Barbie doll. My father, however, felt the Barbie dolls
objectified women and said an unrealistic standard for beauty, so
he forbid them in our house. I wanted to play
with barbiees so much that when I had my own daughter,
I bought her a whole bunch of Barbies. And I

(06:09):
was known for sitting and playing with the barbies while
she was off playing with something else.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
I love that. Love that.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Some text messages. My mom wanted a banana seat bike
as a kid. She still talks about it. I said,
you still want one. I said, to get you one
for Christmas or Birthday. She said, no, it's not the
same because, yeah, you're not a kid anymore. Get it
when you're a kid, because they're only a kid for
a little while, and then all of a sudden, they're not.

Speaker 12 (06:33):
Dave wanted a girlfriend and friends, but instead he got
a nerf ball in Bobby socks.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
The nerf ball is a true story. The Bobby Socks
thing was something Steve made up. I don't know I
would cop to it if it was. Come on, I
coped to a nerf ball. Don't you think I would
cop to a little sock dressed up as my best friend?

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Come on, that was all made up? I don't care.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, here's one. I'm thirty three. I've always wanted to
remote control car and I never had one. I think
I might go change that soon, do it? Yeah, you want,
go get one?

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Here for it.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
What I wanted was a little bit different.

Speaker 12 (07:12):
We had to put film growing up, and so you know,
you're like in your swimsuit and stuff, and I would
stuff my swimsuit with water balloons so I could have boobs.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
Yeah, so I wanted boobs.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Guess what I got them? Got them. I love them too.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Just do what I did and they'll come eventually.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Okay, put water balloons. I can stop googling.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
When do my boobs growing?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
If you got one, send me you talk back and
we'll do more of those in a second. Do the
Daily Bailey coming up? What do we got on The
Bailey Daily Today, Baby Daily.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Think about ourselves as five year olds and look at
our dream jobs as a five year old.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Okay, think about it.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
We'll do that next on Katie WB.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
If you ended up with the dream job of your
five year old self, what would you be doing right now?
So look back on yourself as a five year old,
think about what you would have loved to do back then,
and let me know, David.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm a little bit embarrassed.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
My cousin and I both had and we were five,
but we both had a fantasy of being a playboy photographer.
What we thought, yeah, yeah, you know what you and yo,
you're I don't know if we were five, but probably
ten photographer. Yeah, probably. We thought that was our only
chance to see naked women.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Hi dreams, high hopes.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Put that on like every little like personality quiz that
you had to take in school to know Dave, what
does he want to beg?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Okay, Jenny.

Speaker 12 (08:43):
When I was five, I think I was still on
the kick of I love dolphins and so I wanted
to be a marine biologist.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
I didn't know what that meant.

Speaker 8 (08:51):
Girl.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I feel like every every girl who had you know,
like a Lisa Frank childhood wanted to be a marine
biologist at one point in time.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, so you're not alone there. Okay, how did it
pan out for you?

Speaker 10 (09:02):
Well?

Speaker 12 (09:02):
Science was my worst subject. So I realized there's no
chance in hell I was ever going to be anything
that involved science.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Well chance in hell, gosh, I wanted to be.

Speaker 6 (09:11):
I wanted to be a teacher so bad that I
would make my own lesson plans.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
My stepmom was.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
A teacher, or is a teacher, so I used to
go to her class on my days off and I
would teach her class. I wanted to do that religiously.
Now I couldn't care less about school.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
You taught her class, she would let me.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
I was like from five to maybe like middle school ish,
So when I was in middle school, I would go
to her class or my days off, and she'd be like, Okay,
you can read them this book, or you could you
give them this test and walk around and make sure
they're not.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Cheating and Stuffang, you can put that on your resume.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I loved that.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
And then I have this project I did when I
was actually five years old. My dad still has it somewhere.
It was what you want to be when you grow up.
And I said, I want to be a dad. So
it's my head cut out, and I guess, like a
dad wearing a suit that I got from a magazine.
It's the cutest thing. And he kept it in a
briefcase somewhere.

Speaker 13 (09:55):
Well.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
I wanted to be a cross and guard when I
was five.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
That sounds cool when you're five, right, because.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I wanted to be the person that stands in the
middle of the road and then the cars are coming
at you and you put your hand up and you're.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Like, no, stop, and then the power. You wanted that power.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I wanted that power, and then you let the other
cars go, and then those cars stop, and then you let.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
The other cars go.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's a really stupid job to want, but that's the
job I wanted as.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
A When you're five, you think that's a career. That's
a life, ye know.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Was My joy in life is that one.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
So everyone maybe look back, hold hands with your little
five year old self and say, hey, it's a good
thing we didn't have that job as the Playboy photographer
or crossing guard.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
H I love that. Thank you, Bailey. Thanks guys. We're
gonna do are we doing to War of the Roses
coming up in a second. Are we doing it right now? Okay,
we'll do War of the Roses in a second.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
This is really interesting because he goes on like a
trip to see his buddy in Denver, and when he
comes back he's a different person. Something happened and now
he put a lock screen, a lock on his phone
and he never had one before. What's going going on?
What happened in Denver? Something did happen? And you'll hear

(11:04):
the whole story on War of the Roses?

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Is he cheating?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
We'll find out next on k d W B. Eric
On k d w B, Eddie Murphy is in the
dirt today. He is going to play Inspector Cluso in
the New Pink Panther. And here he was talking about
with Al Roker about what Eddie is working on right now.

Speaker 13 (11:24):
Get ready to do a George Clinton Parliament funkadelic. I'm
getting ready to do George Clinton started Shrek five and
I'm gonna be Inspector Cluseau in the next Pink Wait
what Yeah, I'm the new Cluis.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
You're the new Inspector Clouseau. I'm a new Cluseo. Are
you French This it's not going to be as good
as Haunted Mansion. Oh, y, yes, get rated Eddie Murphy movie.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Haunted Mansion was awesome watching it over and over and
over with Carson.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Really, yes, I remember that the great movie.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
In a two thousand and seven documentary, nol and Liam
Gallagher from the Oasis trash Tom Cruise, saying they hate
him and his movie suck, but almost be forgiven.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Because Tom was at the Oasis show.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
In London on Saturday. Maybe he just loves them so
much that he forgave them for their insult.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Have you seen the rumors that Tom Cruise is apparently
seeing Anna d Armis.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
No, I don't know who that is.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Oh, she's an actress.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
She's Oh man, what has she been in? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
But she's like way younger than him. She's thirty seven
and he's sixty two. Okay, So anyway, they there's like
a rumor going around that they're together, because they've been
seen out and about together and it's like, why are
they hanging out? It doesn't make sense to me, But
apparently they might be together. And she's beautiful. You would
you maybe know her if you saw her face? She's gorgeous,

(12:44):
fair enough.

Speaker 12 (12:46):
So Ryan Reynolds, if you didn't know this, he does
have a marketing PR company called Maximum Effort, and they
are the company that was behind the crisis management for Astronomer.
They were basically behind the entire idea of having Gwyneth
Paltrow really set video and filling in as spokesperson or
whatever she's quote unquote doing, and Maximum Effort did confirm

(13:08):
their participation by posting on Instagram that thank you for
your interest in Maximum Effort. Astronomer will now get back
to what we do best, which is motion pictures with
Hugh Jackman, fastdvertising and Wrexham football.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
So is that really interesting when when celebrities diversify into
different things instead of just being like, you know, being
actor an actor, they own their own tequila brand or
their own production company.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Verry Styles put out sex toys.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Right, it does seem that like, if you are an actress,
you end up going into like perfume, underwear, makeup, and
then if you're an actor it's like pr company tequilas.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Witherspoon has her own production company. Though other than Witherspoon,
she's the only one. Yes, she's the only one right.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
They're starting to put out like When Shows and The
Fall Coming Back and SNL Season fifty one drops on
October fourth, but they haven't announced a host or musical
guest or even cast members are speculating.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Will Keenan Thompson leave?

Speaker 6 (14:02):
No, Will Michael Chay and Colin Joe's from Weekend Update leave?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
But there's no word on any of that yet.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Keenan can't leave. He's been there too long. Isn't he
the longest running in history?

Speaker 3 (14:11):
His story?

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah wild because he still looks the same.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
As he did when he was on Keenan and Callus Albert.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Another underrated movie? Underrated movie.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
Yes, I don't think people like the one with Keenan Thompson.
I don't think people appreciate it enough. No, I've forgotten
all about that movie.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
My girl Chapel Roane is on the news here for
having a new hit this Friday, hopefully so soon.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, new hit, a new hit, new single this Friday.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
It's going to be a tear jerker of a ballot
apparently called the Subway, set to drop this Friday, but
there is still no word on when her next album
will come out.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Hopefully soon, but I will give her a pass.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
What this says it actually comes out when tomorrow Tomorrow
tomorrow at eight pm Eastern is what it says.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
What m hm. That's very random, but okay, write it down.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Go off chapel. One more thing much coming up on
September thirteenth. I know it is a ways away, but
that is go sign up with your dog for a
fun little day in the park and raise some money
for dogs that need veterinary care. That is Rescue Network
MN dot org. If you use promo code KDIWB, they'll
give you ten dollars off registration. And Rogers' Rescue Ride

(15:19):
is going to be September sixth, and that starts in
Anoka and we go. It's a very very short ride
this year. It's it's too short to be honest with you,
but it's gonna be fun. We're gonna go to a
couple of different restaurants and like stop and get something
to eat, play some games, raise some money. Rogers Rescue
Ride is a motorcycle ride, but you don't have to ride.
We had a couple of people go along last year
that just drove along with us and go sign up.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
I'll give you some more information.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
