We have some bittersweet news to share with our audience. Ken, >> we do. We do. Uh so uh there's no other way to say it than just to say it. Yeah. >> But uh today, this show will be the last show that I host of the Ramsay Show because uh my season at Ramsay is over and it's been a phenomenal season. And uh let me just be very clear uh I am doing what I have coached people for many many years to do. When when an opportunity comes to you uh you should listen and then you should weigh it and you should weigh it based on is this something that I believe I have the talent to do. Is this something that I can enjoy? Will I love this work? And then finally does it create a result that I care about? Can I measure all of those things and say okay this is something? And then you have to ask, is this a challenge that will push me? Will it will it push me in ways I haven't been pushed before? And what's on the other side of that? And uh without getting all the details, cuz of right now I cannot get into the details. Um and it doesn't matter, but uh stepping in a completely different lane. >> Yeah. >> Uh stepping uh into work that is u an extension of what I've done, but no longer in a public personality role. >> Yeah. >> And so here we are.
And I want to say I I I had to tell Dave a couple weeks ago and uh it it was such a sweet time. We spent a couple hours together and um I told Dave and I and I want the audience to hear this. Uh this opportunity that I'm so blessed to take uh would not happen if it wasn't for Dave believing in me. >> And that's huge. >> Yeah. >> And uh and we've had so much fun and we've helped so many people and and so as we began to discuss, okay, what does that look like? Uh Dave in his grace and his goodness said, "Finish, finish strong." >> From the bottom of our hearts, I know our team and you know, John and Jer, oh my gosh, I'm trying to get I don't Yeah, >> let me see. Hold on. I know. Hold on one second. Um >> yeah, >> everyone now you're doing it. >> Uh no, I was going to say though, everyone is so happy for you. >> Thanks. >> We really are. Kent, we are cheering for you. You're gonna kill it. Um, but we're gonna miss you. >> How am I supposed to talk? >> I know it's um Ken Coleman is one of these people, y'all, that he's like, we've all said it. George, John, and Jade, and I and Ken, we've been on a text thread for the last like couple years, obviously. And the word that keeps coming up consistently, Ken, for you, is the glue. We say Ken is our glue. Like Ken, we every personality loves hosting with Ken. This show specifically like on our schedules when you get the email for the week and you're like, "Okay, who am I hosting with?" We love hosting with each other. Obviously, we all love each other. But when it's Ken, it's it's safe. You're just like, "Okay, good. He's like your big brother." And you're like, "Okay." Uh when we're on stage together, he can have chemistry with anybody on stage. He's a masterful interviewer, which is what he did even before he stepped into a Ramsay personality role. He's so good at connecting with people and it is that is a gift y'all. If you have been on stage with people that are awkward and hard to talk to, it's hard. It's awkward hard to talk to. John's raising his hand out there. No, but Ken can can bring bring the goodness out of anyone that he is with. And the fact that we've gotten to stand and sit beside him for so many years, um it's gonna Yeah. You're killing me. >> There's a there is there's going to be a hole in and we're gonna we um Thank you. >> We're dearly going to miss you.
Well, I I never had a sister. Always wanted one. True story. Um I was nine years old one day. I said to my dad, I said, "I really want a sister." And I've got two. Um Rachel, we've known each other a long time. And the other one is out there in the lobby. U Jade Warsoff. I mean, just like I love these two. Uh they're so so great. great women, great friends, and um you know, it's uh geez, I didn't know you were going to do this. >> I didn't know I was going to cry either. We're just tired. >> So, here we are. We got up at 4:00 a.m. this morning. We don't even know who we are.
I do want to say this to the audience because we're going to continue the show. We're going to coach people because one of the loves of my life, >> uh outside of my family and my friends is to meet people where they are. Um it is It's the highest honor to have someone open up to you. You guys know uh to trust you in a public setting. My goodness. and the uh the privilege to just be a small little encouragement uh to people is um man and to get paid for it and uh it's just been such a high honor and and that's the honor to Dave and I and I I I'll tell you I um Dave and I cried and then I went and hugged Miss Sharon >> because >> you should tell him what actually >> should I tell him that story >> do because it was funny when caught my head. >> Yeah. Oh, this will be good. Now we can laugh together. >> Yeah. Yeah. This is good. >> So, I spent two hours with Dave. We just walked through it all and and uh and then I said I got up, we hugged, and I said, "Uh, can I go tell Miss Sharon?" And uh he said, "Of course." And so, uh he walks me into the kitchen, opens up the door from his he's got this fabulous smoking room above his garage, and we smell like an ashtray. We've been smoking cigars. He says, "SHARON, KEN WANTS TO TALK TO YOU. And she said, "Oh, I'm in my house coat, Ken." And uh I love that she called it a house coat, by the way. >> It is a house coat. That's a southern thing right there. It's not a rope. >> And I said to her, I go, "Let me see that because I think that's the robe that Stacy and I bought you." And sure enough, it was. >> Yeah. Ken bought Sharon. >> I gifted Sharon and Dave my favorite robe. Of course, that's what one does for friends. >> And she had it on. I was like, "How serendipitous." I came over to her and um and she uh we had a sweet moment and uh got to give her a hug and she was just so sweet and so kind. And so uh this is again u it's really really bittersweet. And I'll say this folks, sometimes you get opportunities you don't know what God's completely up to. Uh and I don't know how it's going to all play out. Uh but uh you know it's time it's time to walk through it. So to all of you who've said kind things, emailed so many of our team are out there. They're making me cry. This is crazy. I love all of y'all. And uh we're going to take a quick break, try to get ourselves together, and then do the thing that we love to do, which is meet you where you are today and coach you up.
