- 0:00Speaker 1: I have I have your an email which which could
- 0:03Speaker 1: be of some importance. Is it of interest? It could
- 0:07Speaker 1: be of interest. It's importance that sounds serious, but interest,
- 0:13Speaker 1: it's more of interest. Okay, okay, email of interest. Hello lords.
- 0:21Speaker 1: I have been turning in tuning into the radio from
- 0:23Speaker 1: Al show for thirty years maybe more, and all of
- 0:27Speaker 1: all days. Fridays are by far my favorite day of
- 0:30Speaker 1: the week. I love Jimmy the Wine Guy. He is
- 0:33Speaker 1: great and he helps get me ready for the weekend.
- 0:36Speaker 1: But one of my favorite features is when Dave the
- 0:38Speaker 1: flower Guy comes in to announce boner of the week.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I don't spend a lot of time downtown, but if
- 0:44Speaker 1: I'm out and about, I always keep an eye out
- 0:46Speaker 1: for Dave in the hopes of spying his scooter and
- 0:49Speaker 1: having the opportunity to buy flowers from him. For years,
- 0:53Speaker 1: I've had no luck until this last Friday. My daughter
- 0:57Speaker 1: works at East Liberty tap House, rest out and bar
- 1:00Speaker 1: at Ninth and Ninth. I went into grab some lunch
- 1:03Speaker 1: and visit with my girl, and as I was walking
- 1:06Speaker 1: up to the restaurant, I noticed a scooter parked out
- 1:08Speaker 1: front with a basket full of flowers. I was suddenly
- 1:11Speaker 1: filled with such excitement, knowing that Dave was likely inside
- 1:14Speaker 1: and I know that is a place that Dave frequent.
- 1:17Speaker 1: As I entered, I spied him in the corner, finishing
- 1:20Speaker 1: up his lunch. I immediately made my way to his table
- 1:22Speaker 1: to introduce myself to him. This was a major fangirl
- 1:26Speaker 1: moment for me. I told him I was an avid
- 1:29Speaker 1: listener of the Radio from Hell Show and mentioned how
- 1:31Speaker 1: much I enjoyed his segment on Fridays. His face lit
- 1:34Speaker 1: up all and you could instantly see the pride he
- 1:37Speaker 1: feels in the responsibility you have bestowed upon him for
- 1:41Speaker 1: all of these years. My daughter asked how I knew Dave,
- 1:46Speaker 1: and I told her who he was, and she mentioned
- 1:48Speaker 1: that he used to mow their lawn and that he
- 1:51Speaker 1: comes in for lunch most Fridays. She often buys flowers
- 1:54Speaker 1: from him to take home to her girlfriend. So here
- 1:57Speaker 1: I am finally in the presence of Dave the flower guy,
- 2:00Speaker 1: and I don't have any cash. Oh man. I discreetly
- 2:03Speaker 1: asked my daughter if she could loan me some cash,
- 2:05Speaker 1: but I guess it wasn't as discreet as I hoped
- 2:07Speaker 1: it would be. Dave instantly piped up wait I just
- 2:12Speaker 1: lost my place. Dave instantly piped up and told me
- 2:15Speaker 1: he accepts VENMO, mentioning that someone had helped him set
- 2:20Speaker 1: it up some time ago. So what could have been
- 2:23Speaker 1: just an average Friday turned into a really great day
- 2:26Speaker 1: for me. Finally, flowers from Dave. My hat's off to
- 2:29Speaker 1: all of you at Radio from Hell for taking Dave
- 2:31Speaker 1: under your wing and being such true, kind friends to him.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I could really tell what a positive impact it has
- 2:38Speaker 1: made in Dave's life. Oh thanks for letting me listen,
- 2:42Speaker 1: and thank you for helping us all through this hellish
- 2:45Speaker 1: nightmare we are living in these days. Cheers, Becky Berube,
- 2:51Speaker 1: You go Dave. We love Dave. He's a hard worker
- 2:57Speaker 1: and a friend of the program. I'm glad he has
- 3:00Speaker 1: BEENMO because I don't do you guys ever carry cash?
- 3:02Speaker 1: I know, I don't rarely email of in trash
