And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050WTCA online at the

big 1050.com.

Hey, a word of thanks, by the way.

I didn't do this on the air.

We just played the interview with Tommy and Tammy Carr last week.

It was a fantastic interview.

And, man, over a decade of Chad Tuff, a family that has taken their pain

and brought about it is, you know, the purpose that they have found in that to help others is unbelievable. unbelievable the gala's coming up this weekend

the auction is live at chadtuff.org so get on over there to have some great items up for bid

and all goes towards the you're up for bid you're up for bed you're up for bed you're up for bed come hang out with sam You're up for bid. You're up for bid. You're up for bid. Come hang out with Sam. You're up for bid. I mean, it's not like when a date with Sam. It's come hang out in the studio with Sam, but so you're up for bid. Yeah, we have a great time. With all, every year, the winner of that bid comes in. We have a great time with them in studio. So that is awesome.

But it all goes to finding a cure for DIPG.

And even short of the cure thus far, the progress.

The progress that they made and the way that they've been able to extend lives and just give some options.

Sam, I didn't have that's been amazing. That conversation, I was sitting there. Obviously, I was watching you guys do the conversation. And there's a lot in there that Tommy talks about with, you know, some receivers and some other football stuff. And there's some really cool football information in there. And I know for a lot of football fans, that those things are your big takeaways.

I forgot most of the football stuff that he talked about. I have to go back and go and listen to the football stuff. Because, yeah, part of it is just when Tammy was talking about it, it's been 10 years. Like, we remember that. I mean, I remember 10 years ago. I remember a lot about that whole week. And it's not even our family. But, you know, it's our extended family. But it's like, and the progress is what you were talking about, the impact and the lives that are being extended. Because I remember another one of the guys that used to be on your team, Brandon Huffman. And you guys talked about Brandon on that interview. And the prognosis around Avery's time, which was a few years after Chad, was not a whole lot different. Right. But now, 10 years after Chad, things are on that way. It's not great, but it's better. Definitely progress being made where there was no hope. And I hope is starting to come. And hope, as we know, it was was a game plan for fans just like it's a game plan for us we're watching these great medical

breakthroughs and all my takeaways from that conversation were about how they have to your

how they've taken tragedy and spun it into amazing work and also how the family the other two boys

how chad's two brothers have thrived like

you know thinking about the thriving of the brothers and how you know part of what they do is

for their brother but the how they have thrived and what they've turned into not the specifics

just like the overall picture of Tammy and Jason have two college football

quarterbacks.
