Now, if you remember back in May, all of you voted for Make Mama Smile again.

Mm-hmm.

When I see you smile, I love you, Mama.

And we had a winner.

Yes, we did.

Contestant number two.

Contestant number two, and that winner will come in today. The makeover is complete. Yes. And we'll have a look and we'll talk to them and see how they're doing. Dundee and the gang will be arriving next hour. Yeah. Looking forward to it. This is always kind of cool because, you know, you get the story behind it. Oh, yeah. Christy Ward is who she is, and her husband wrote such a sweet little letter here as far as the story behind it all. And so we look forward to meeting them. Yeah. It's going to be cool. That's always really moving. Yeah. Also, it is official now. It's in the store. There it is. There it is. The Rick Burgess Show challenge coin. Yeah. There, and it's a, it's a beauty. I mean, I like that. I like the way, I mean, it's, it's sturdy. It's really cool. It's the real, because over the years when people have given us all these challenge coins, I've noticed there's a degree on quality. And some of them, frankly, are not all that high quality. Right. But that right there, that's, that's your real deal. That's that size I like. I love that logo. And Larry, don't you worry, buddy. And they're on the way, too, if you don't already have them. It's upside down, Rick. There it is. It's upside down, Rick. Oh, is it? There it is. Oh, even better. Even better. There it is. I got five texts from Larry yesterday. Oh, good. And the last one said, I mail here. Why did you have to say five texts? I did. I did. One was a picture of Carolyn. And she was at the Secret Service office in Albany. Oh, yeah. He was sorry about that. Oh, really? He let Lisa know about that too. Did he really? Okay. He says, our mail here, I'm picturing how he would say it, but our mail here is very slow. It's very slow. And it will probably be here next week. He was being sarcastic, but he says, you know, as far as what you said, you know, we're, hey, we send it out, you should have it. He's like, we're always a little behind. So he's looking forward to getting it, though. Yeah, that's, He's fired up about it. Yeah, I'm glad because at one point, I expected Larry to be more enthusiastic than he's been about this front of him. He just doesn't have it. You know, it's rare... No, no, it's rare that you are a viewer or a listener to this show that we take a merchandise item invest in it solely really because of you

right yeah we're really really we rarely send employees to spend a night with we did that's a

first there's a lot of first very rare there's a lot of first very rare not that we won't do it again
