Way To Go Todd!

Way to go Todd. Way to go Todd. Todd. As a very matter of fact, Todd. Todd. I don't think it was like that. Todd Walker's the guy. He was kind. We heard about it. We said, way to go, Todd. We've never met Todd, or I've never met Todd. A couple of our friends have, Lee Hall, formerly our colleague, not with us anymore, went down to Kansas City, and he goes, hey, you want me to look up Todd? I'll interview him. And so him being a journalist, he found Todd, and he did a little interview. It's out there somewhere on our Facebook page. It's cool. And then our daughter, Ginger, one of her college buddies, was from Kansas City. She went to visit, and I said, hey. And I didn't think of it until she was there. I said, can you, I'm going to find out where Todd lives. And can you go to a bakery and grab some sweets or something? And I'm going to give you the address. It turned out they were near where he lived. They were shopping or something. And I said to Todd, I said, hey, somebody's knocking on your door in a couple of minutes. Don't shoot him or anything. And not that he went. But he said, okay. And so they got a beautiful picture together. And Todd wants us to come down and do our show from his kitchen. That would be fun. Yeah. Guess what's never going to happen? We can't do it. We don't have the horses to pull that. That's a big horse pull. We don't have those horses to pull that off. I would like to have that done, but it's not going to happen. I think it's fewer horses than you imagine. I say from over here, all I do is talk. I don't push a button. I don't load equipment. You don't load equipment, all that stuff. 626. A way to go, Todd's our kindness moment of the day. And we appreciate it when you send notes to us and we find some stories through you, Greg.batten at 1470 WMBD.com. This one is, nope, not the way you think anyway. Eddie Smith Jr. in North Carolina, six decades ago, bought a bankrupt boat company. The Grady White Boat Company. They were on the ropes. They were going away. And he, with sweat and determination, family help and friends help, he turned that around into a $100 million annual revenue generating boat company over 60 years. Wow. He is ready now to cash it out and be done with the boat company. He's an older man, obviously, 60 years have been doing that. And he said, instead of turning down and, in fact, he did turn down. He turned down huge offers from big boat companies. They all wanted to buy it because it works so good and it's making a lot of money. He said, no, here's what we're going to do. The company is going to go into a trust. It can never be sold by the law of the rules of the trust. The profits will help fund charitable causes through a nonprofit social welfare organization that he is aware of in his area of North Carolina. So he has gifted, basically, the future profits of that company to the charities all around his hometown forever or however long the boat company goes. That is unbelievable. That is unbelievable.

Hey, Mark John Roberts Community Foundation. You listen? We need a couple of those babies. Know what I'm saying? Go find a boat. Go find a boat company. Holy smokers.
