• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean that happened. Yesterday.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: We had a text from someone who had a really
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: an interest was trying to tell us an interesting story
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: by texting us.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can text us quick things, but if it's
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: more than a sentence or two, it gets lost.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: And Carrie sort of read through it and we got
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: a kind of a picture of what the person was
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: trying to say.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: But Carrie said, what send us a send us a letter,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and she did.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: So this is an email, oh interest, it is indeed,
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: I says, my text did not make too much sense.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Here is my letter. Good morning, lords and lady. My
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: name is August Tusher. I've been listening to you since
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I was fourteen years old. I'm now almost forty seven
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: years old, and you have greatly influenced my life for
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the better. I experienced a lot of trauma as a child,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: a teenager, and a young adult, but I I feel
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: like listening to your show and hearing the music that
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you played has uplifted me in more ways than I.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Could ever express to you all.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: When I got married and had my first son, he
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: was born deaf and that was a hard thing to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: wrap my head around. However, he was okay and thriving.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: When he was five years old, he started declining with
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: balancing and walking, and then he started to lose vision.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: We were constantly driving back and forth to Primary Children's
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and the University of Utah in those hard times. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: turned to X ninety six. During those times when my
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: son was grim, was a grim age of thirteen to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: nineteen years old, a child.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: He lost more.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Of his abilities every day, and on those days I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: turned to X ninety six. On December one, twenty twenty two,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: he succumbed to his disease, and that night I went
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to bed listening to X ninety six. You guys have
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: no clue how much impact you have on a person's
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: life for the better. I know people listen to morning
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: radio on their way to going to work or doing
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: whatever they do. But I get so much more out
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of it, and it truly brightens my day. When we
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: went out to the National Institute of Help for Rare
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Disease Research in Washington, d C. I desperately searched for
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: a station like X ninety six, and I couldn't find it.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Back and forth to nursing school at Weaver State University,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I listened to X ninety six, back and forth to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: all my clinical rotations in graduate school. I listened to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: X ninety six on the day I passed my board
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: to become a Family Nurse practitioner. I credit a lot
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of my success to you all for keeping me going.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much, August Tusher, msn APR n FNPC.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: That's pretty pretty nice, August, thank you very much. That's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: very nice.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I Kerrie and I Bill, you'd
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: left the studio already, and yesterday Carrie and I where
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: it's sort of we're talking about the Jordan Klepper TV
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: show and how he, you know, goes and interviews the
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: mag of People, and it's and it's funny, but maybe
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: it's not so funny anymore.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: It's it's funny, but then you think about it and
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: it just makes you sad.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: And I went home last night and I was talking
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: to my husband about it, and I said, I go
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: back and forth with what we do on this show,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: with wanting to be informative and tell people what are
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: going on, but also wanting to be entertaining and fun.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: And I I wrestle with it and we get a
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: letter like this, and I think Okay, maybe maybe we're
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: still balancing that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think so what you know, it's when I
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: read a letter like that, or I have people I'll
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: have very often people come up and talk to me
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and express things like this letter to me personally, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: it makes me think, how can I stop doing this?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I mean it's like you're
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: not planning on stuff. I can't do this forever.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I I just it's just it's like it's a it
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: makes it a responsibility that that's kind of it makes
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: it I don't know, I don't want to say it
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: makes it a burden, but it it kind of hangs
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: heavy on me sometimes, that if, and it makes me
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: wonder what I'm just thinking around here?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: What what does how does that? How does that make somebody?
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: You know? So, so, how does how does that comfort somebody?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't get it. I just I'm just
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: messing around.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: I think you you're diminishing yourself by saying that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I don't. I really don't you know
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: who you are.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Really, I really don't think what I'm doing is something
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: something that so.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Well evidence to the contrary right there in front of you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: It's but it's we're a distraction. That's a nice thing.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: You know, when you're driving to the hospital, you don't
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: want to think about why you're driving to the hospital. Yeah,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: but I I am. I am glad we can be
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that for for people. And I would like to hear
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: from more friends of the program with with letters like that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: And I would also like to know how we can
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: how we can help you. What do you need from us?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I really do wrestle with with wanting to be funny
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: and entertaining, but yet giving this important information that I
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: think need doesn't has fewer and fewer places.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: Where it's being I was going to say, it's like
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: I told you yesterday, where else are they going to
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: get this information? Because pretty soon, I mean, they just
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: keep shutting down. But watch that John Oliver from Sunday Night.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It'll scare the hell up. That's what I'm doing. Gina.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Don't worry when you get when you get too serious.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: I'll I'll make a far I promise, I promise I'll
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And I wish.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: What I wish is that August would take this letter,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: or that the sentiment in this letter and go door
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to door and tell people about it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Prosthetize.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, because we need more people. We need to comfort
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: more people, we need.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: To comfort clearly, clearly, we need to.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Start a cult. Yeah, clearly exactly. I mean at least
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: there'd be some money in that. Yeah, that's a good
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that's a good idea. No, let's be a religion because
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: we're tax free at that. Oh there you go. Yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: we start a religion.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that's a little bit more difficult to prove
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to the authorities.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It's not. It's easy to prove that you're a cult.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: You can prove that you're you know, one sacrifices all
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: you need, one human sacrifices.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: All you need. You'll out the right paperwork.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: The scientologists can do what we can do it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: It's uh.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm glad we could be that. Be that for
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: August and and for other people. We get letters like
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: that from time to time and thank you, thanks for
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: being there for thank you for being there for us.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: We wouldn't be here as long as we have been
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: if if there weren't enough people out there to.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Sell, if they would have got rid of us a
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: long time ago.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: They tried a couple of times, Yeah, they have, they
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: tried a couple of times they tried not to get
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: rid of us, but to alter what we did. Yes,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: we've had so many people, particularly early on, saying, oh,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: that's not the way it's done. You can't do it, that,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you can't do that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Let me, let me just remind both of you what
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: the great Jim Facer always said, The reason you guys
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: are number one is because everybody else sucks so bad.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Never forget that.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: That's there's a lot of truth and that is a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: true statement. He says that to us all the time.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: And he also said, you know a monkey could do
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: your job, don't you
