[0:00]" We would be remiss if we didn't at least begin the proceedings today. By expressing our gratitude and our thanks. I'd I'd we have said this a hundred occasions in the past will say -- 100 in the future. The success or failure. While the success never -- the success of the Jimmy Fund radio on has zero to do with us. It has nothing to do with Michael army or -- or John or Jerry nothing. It has everything to do. With flat Dan Williams and Torre Randle and her mom and Colleen Duffy. And Janet Schwartz and and you know we could go on and on and on and on and on it has everything to do with those people. And and the stories state talent passion they bring. And it has everything to do with those people who win a tough economy. Would probably find it pretty easy to say you know lot I want to help but it's really tough right now you know gas is costing me 360 gallon I just can't do it. And you guys did you picked up the phone and you did it."

[1:02]" Let me tell you this you guys again. All the guys are real. I was watching that number climb. On Friday night. And they kept climbing and kept climbing. And then I start getting scared. That it was going much higher that I thought it would ever ago. I think. I share the same opinion of a lot of people out there Wednesday on Friday morning. I was thinking. We're just going to sneak over four million make it but there it is going to be quietly at 1159. Yet but four million dollars gamer early. As you said thanks to some very passionate. Commentaries and keen observations from flat Dan Williams who. Almost at their fifteen years old and talked about cancer being in this -- cancer being in his -- cancer in his back. And their sons and and there's nothing. That can be done for him because there's not room for him. And some of these these these clinical trials so. When you hear fifteen -- talking like that. It does movie to action here Torre Randall's mom. On her daughter's nineteen -- they yes were so blessed that my daughter made it to her nineteenth birthday and we have a birthday cake here. And her boyfriend is here any game very nice necklace that's all great. But that's not enough we've got to save these kids too much bad news we need to bring some more good news into the mix. Those people who get that number from."

[2:30]" Four million to four point 83. Million I was I was dom found when it hit four million Portland off before the Red Sox games start. It was at 4 am and I'm just sit there with my mouth open. And kept second all night long kept -- outs it was easy checked back anyway. And all night long kept the number up and up and up and went close that it four I actually thought for a while this is silly enough to it by what guess what. -- I -- Next year's gold points five million dollars at least five point one million dollars -- every single one of you who. Coach who just -- called. Rotting your pocket change collected it that did the job site. You while -- line. I know how tough -- is out there and I know that it's tough for a lot of people. And every single one of these -- donation you made it for those kids you heard those kids you've didn't here. You know what you did you make payment on your own health insurance. Because god forbid some day. You're gonna need the services of the Dana Farber cancer institute or somebody you love and -- you locate your health well."

[3:45]" At the two point get that in the second because it it's interesting to say that meant to say something about that which -- said last week but. There was at sign across the street from the iron workers it's all about the kids and it's a great sign -- the great sentiment. -- at a bad sign on air and say it's mostly mostly mostly about the kids because we forget. That there -- a lot of adults. And Dana Farber. So this is not something we're doing we're not raising four point eight million dollars -- kids solely. Of course you want to help gives you use the a four year old is it two year old UC. Families. Who have lost seven and eight year old they're talking about how it was just overnight one day they're going to a playoff game. And the next day. The kid is in the hospital with cancer and where did this come from source of unfair. -- if from a little persons such an innocent. I just just. Innocent young person not even ten years old afflicted with this nasty disease but. There are a lot of adults out there were fighting and struggling to so we're raising money for everybody but your your point. About opening. A down payment or investing in your own health insurance. The guy that we might talk to today Tedy Bruschi said the same thing when he had a stroke. He said this hospital. Might be if you're if you're giving money to possibly you're donating to a hostile or donating to a cause. You're not just helping some random person out there. You could be helping yourself because he never thought you -- how does your daughter everybody was going to have a stroke. You don't think that especially when your in your early thirties and and all of us I know if you haven't. Been touched by this your stat for these people we have you have empathy form compassion. But you say to yourself. All I I'm glad my child is healthy you don't want it to happen you. And you pray that it doesn't happen but it can it."

[5:58]" There's a out. There's a lot of different web sites out there you know with message boards may have different themes they have different threads that they start. And there's that there's an industry website called radio and followed dot com which -- go to quite often. And for the local for the Boston market there was actually a threat that they began last week. About us doing the radio people were talking about it positively and negatively believe it -- not. And and there was actually someone -- said you know. C'mon. You know not talking sports. I want to hear sports and you know. I don't I don't like listening to the radio funds -- give them my money and then I'll tune it out I'll come back next week or something. I was thinking to myself. What kind of sad sorry human being the you have to be. If if you'd rather talk about you know whether it this signing of John Lynch was a good move for the Patriots or. Or the the batting woes of of Jason Varitek. Over listening to a kid like Dan Williams. Who most telling you. It's -- for for me. There's nothing left -- deal for me. A fifteen year old kid who should be talking about how much he's looking forward with sophomore year in high school and."

[7:16]" And and dating and playing sports and east telling you. There's really nothing left they can do for me -- taken some herbal therapies."

[7:25]" You know try to control the pain but there's really nothing left they can -- are you kidding me. And and you're and you're wondering whether it would be better to talk about sports. For two days for for 36 hours out of the year. You're gonna tell me there's anything on the planet that's more important than what those kids had to say or those."

[7:45]" Aaron's -- here on government try to learn. In his to have the best sports and got a message boards. Yourself all worked up over and over somebody where does well in the UK. Most of the people get it here's one guy who didn't get it get everybody at. That's what I think the majority of people based on the number that we got -- from this four point 83 million. The majority of people that we were trying to reach we reached. Majority of people got the message from Dan Williams got the message from Torre Brando they got the message from Paulus starred. They got the message from Larry Lucchino it goes on and on so."

[8:25]" That brad Bryant did you get stopped over the weekend. And how people Pete times and that hey I'm really like listening there to what the other kids at -- say in the parents had to say. -- and and they all start I would hate -- great job on the radio Thon and every single time I said it's got nothing to do with us I mean we are literally the radio speaker. You know it's what's coming out of the speaker and I don't mean you and me. It's what's coming out of the speaker that move people -- they did I mean. They practice stuff very scientifically yes and and the people who were running radio onset it's -- stand. And Torre. You know at her mom had finished you know with the segment -- kind of ran almost back -- except -- went crazy. It's got nothing to do with with anything but people stand. That kid move. That mom moved. I gotta do what I can do as tough as it is these days I gotta do something and even if it's -- ten bucks or my five box I gotta do something. And and you know they here Janet Schwartz talking about Todd and they say. Moderate some and help out as she how -- she keep it -- the way she guys."

[9:36]" Look this is how good you guys were. All call anybody an idiot until about 11 o'clock. And then and then you can call me an eighty so there's is an idiot free zone for the next morning I -- At 1030 on your cocktail. At 104031. And a problem a 1032 -- thirty to two minutes. It -- tree and then it and then all bets are."
