  Speaker 2: you get your eyebrows looking so fabulous after having plucked

  Speaker 2: the hell out of them back in the day like
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I did? Okay, Melanie, here's what you do. All right,

  Speaker 2: this is gonna sound weird. You can get monoxidil, which

  Speaker 1: That's not just for men, it's for women, Yes, but

• 0:43
  Speaker 2: They sell it for men, and women buy the men's
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: because it's cheaper. And you take a little mascara wand

  Speaker 2: and you put a little bit of rogain on the

  Speaker 2: wand and you brush it on your eyebrows.

  Speaker 2: I've been listening for about fifteen years now, and one
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: of my favorite segments is Boner of the Week with
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Dave the flower guy that said, I don't really know
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: much about him. How did Dave become a part of
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the show. He seems like one of the kindest people
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: out there, and I would love to learn more about him.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Dave is I and I don't remember what year this
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: would have been. What year, I'm not sure we were.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: He might remember, he probably does.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: We were doing our so we were doing our show
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: at Trolley Corners and we had there was a coffee
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: shop which was part of our radio station. It was
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: a grand concept that we would have a coffee shop
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: and radio station.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: It was a great idea, just a bad location for it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: I think it would have worked if we were in
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: a different look.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe if we were downtown, Yeah, if we.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Were someplace with a lot of traffic, but traffic, but
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: there was so our studio had a window into the
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: coffee shop, a big window, picture window. And we noticed
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: that this guy would come and stand at the window
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: pretty much every day. And he had on these big
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: radio earphones. You don't see him much anymore, and they're
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: kind of hard to come by, as we've found out,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: but there's it's radios built into a set of headphones,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: and he would stand there and watch watch the.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Show and listen. He was listening to it on these.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Radio and we were on delay because we'd make a
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: joke and then he would laugh, like later.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Five or six seconds later. Yeah, so so, and it
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: was we just got curious about who he was. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: don't remember if he ever had coffee. He didn't have
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: coffee because he doesn't do that. But so I think
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: just one day I went out and talked to him
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: a little bit and and he's obviously had some disabilities,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: a little difficulty talking, a little difficululty walking, and but
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I went out started talking to him, and I thought,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: this is an interesting person. He'd started telling me about who,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: what he who, what he did at the time. He
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: mowed lawns. He had he had a tractor, and I thought, oh, yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: you're the guy he's driving around town on a riding lawnmower.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And that's why he would come in in the morning.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It was like kind of before his work day to.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Get out there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: And so I then I, so I brought him into
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: the studio and we started talking to him on the
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: on the air and not.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Just mowing lawns but selling flowers.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Dave is someone who he has cerebral palsy
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: is what his disability is. And he figured out, Okay,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: what can I do to take care of myself?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I'm my mom he used to take He lived with
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: his mother.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: He lived with his mother.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Uh and uh he made so and she I think
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: she just had you know, social Security, and so she
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: was quite quite older, quite elderly. But he lived with
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: his mom, and he and and Dave and I won't
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: go into any of the details, but he had a heart.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: He had had a hard life the way he was
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: treated by certain family members who are now no longer
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: around the Didelogue. But he just had a hard life.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: But he lived with his mom and he took care
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: of her, and.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: He mode lawns and flowers to make money.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: And I don't know why we decided that he would
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: be the person to select the Boter of the week,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: but we you know, we just did.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: It was because it was hard for us to pick.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we knew he listened every day because he
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: was sitting out in front of the window every day, and.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: It became his job. I mean, he considers Dave considers
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: this his job. He's probably listening right now. He I
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: think he listens to every minute of every show every day.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Almost could be.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, we started doing that and then
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: you know, we've been through a lot with Dave. He's
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: had a lot of trials and tribulations.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And friends of the program have been great.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: We've we've raised money for Dave that people have contributed
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to over the years. We've helped him get a couple
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: new tractors because that that was how he you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: or lawnmowers, that was how he made his living. And
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: friends of the program for years have have helped out.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Dave's mother died a few years ago and that was
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: devastating for him. He didn't quite know what to do,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: and so we sort of helped navigate him through that
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: whole process and did a gofund me, raised a lot
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: of money with a GoFundMe for Dave, and as a
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: matter of fact, so much money that people are some
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: of his he has some relatives who live in Wyoming
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: who are very nice people.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: His aunt lives in Wyoming.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: And they were a little bit worried about all of
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: that money, and you know, how's Dave going to be
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: able to manage it? And are people going to take
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: advantage of that? And so we set up we had
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Wade Taylor set up a trust for Dave. And and
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: then this I don't know how long Chelsea's been da
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Dave's friend, but a woman named Chelsea and her family
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: kind of sort of adopted Dave and take and they
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: watch out for him as well.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: And that gofund me is what helped him in this,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: in the scooter that he's in now.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: But all of that because Dave is a self starter.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: He takes care of himself.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: And he's relentlessly cheerful. Yes, relentlessly cheerful.
