You know mine's kind of serious too. Over the weekend,
we lost a professional PGA tour golfer. And I was
not friends with him by any stretch of the imagination.
We were friendlye I had done a couple podcasts with
him and we texted back and forth. His name is
Grace and Murray and he took his own life on
Friday night Saturday morning, and just the decline of mental
(00:50):
health in our country is a real concern. And this
is somebody who struggled outwardly. And he talked about his
trouble with addiction and his trouble with thingsnxiety and with
depression and everything else, and got tried to get the
help that he needed in Unfortunately, for Grayson's sake, life
became too much for him and he took his own life.
But if you are struggling, please, by all means reach
(01:13):
out and get the help that you need. And if
you're not getting the help that you need from where
you've reached out, please continue to reach out and just
get what you can. Because it is a problem. And
unfortunately we lost Grayson, and I know there's a lot
of people struggling with it.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (01:27):

do two things. Tell people that you love that you
love them, and somebody that you don't know today, just
say something nice to them and make the world a
better place. Make it kind.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
And I say this because it is National flip flop Day,
but it is. Don't celebrate. We had doctor brad On
and he told us how bad flip flops are for
your feet, because your feet are constantly making a fist
to keep them on, hanging on for dear life, hanging
on for dear life. It reshapes your feet. Don't wear
them as much as we want to celebrate. Don't celebrate

Day is producer Samurai.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Hey, Sami's on your mind today.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So I always talk about how much I am obsessed
with my dog Savannah. I love her so much because
she's mine. But don't forget to give the family dog
you moved away from some extra love. This weekend, I
went to watch my parents' house because they're away on
a trip, and I watched Ali, my dog. He's ten
years old, and I didn't realize how much I missed
this little old man's and I spent a whole weekend
(04:49):
basically loving up on him. I told Waliam, take care
of Savannah because I just love Oliver. So it's great
to have your own little puff that you love so much.
But there's just something about that family dog you moved
away from. There's there's never going to be a replacement
here here.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
I so agree puppers. Thank you, Sam, I have pulling
music down for a second Scary Danielle. Yeah, Danielle, this
has been an ongoing story with our family here for
several days now. Yeah, we're nextally years. If you want
to go back, would you want to just tell a
story and take your time with it, because I think
I'd love to hear it from you.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
So last year we introduced you to one of our listeners,
Megan House, who it was actually on her bucket list
to meet the Morning show. She unfortunately was diagnosed with
stage four colon cancer out of nowhere in her early thirties.
She went on her honeymoon and she came back and
(05:43):
she was bloated. She thought it was just bloat, maybe
from being away on a trip, and the bloke got
bigger and bigger, and she knew something was wrong, so
she pushed for testing, and it turned out that that's
what it was. So they tried everything, I mean, every
experimental treatment you could possibly imagine. There was one point
where I was talking to her and she thought her
own body was trying to fight the cancer. But she
(06:05):
was the type of woman who wanted to live out
all these things on her bucket list, and so she did.
She wanted to travel, she wanted to go here, or
she wanted to do this, go to these Broadway shows,
you know, all kinds of stuff. And she got to
do that and her husband was by her side for
the entire time. So last week I think she was
thirty three or thirty four. Last week, I've been talking
(06:25):
to her for a while. I know Gandhi's been you know,
has caught up with her as well. So last week
her sister in law reached out to me on Instagram.
And I always knew when Megan went dark on social
there was something going on, and I would check in
and say, hey, what's going on, and she would give
me a little update. Her sister in law said she's
not doing well, and I said, okay, she goes we're
(06:47):
looking at hospice. Now I'm thinking a thirty something year
old in hospice. That is just insane. So I reached
out to her husband and I said, okay, could you
explain what's going on? And he told me he said,
it's come to the point where this morning we went
to the oncologist and he said there's nothing else we
can do, and that.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Danielle take your time. We're in no hurry here, and.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
That we're just going to make her comfortable. And it's
no longer going to be about fighting the cancer. It's
going to be about just helping her live her best
moments for what she has left now. This was last Wednesday.
Last Wednesday, and I talked to her mom on Social
and her mom said to me, you know, thank you
guys for everything you've done for her. I'm going to
be quitting my job and move in with them so
(07:37):
that I can help take care of her, because you know,
she's been there every step of the way. Obviously it's
your child. You're not supposed to your child's supposed to
go before you. So we've just been going back and forth.
We've been chatting, and then I talked to them Sunday
night and I was I sent a video over that
that Patrick, her husband had asked for, and an hour
(07:58):
later she died. And I said, how did she die?
Less than a week? She wasn't even really in hospice yet,
And I guess they thought she had more time, and
she obviously didn't. She went in the most peaceful way possible.
I mean, they were doing like Ray did I say
Reiki over her and she went like that and her
you know family was there and her mom and her husband,
(08:21):
and she just fought a fight and her body just
it was at this point that her body was like,
I can't do it anymore. And to watch what she
went through, to see how strong she was, to see
that she didn't let it stop her. Like last week
on Wednesday, when I talked to her husband, he said,
she's still going out for daily walks. This girl had
no energy left. She told me I was talking to
(08:42):
her on the phone. She told me she wasn't allowed
to cry because she wasn't allowed to let her tear
ducks dry up. But she was still pushing and she
was still trying to live life and enjoy it and
do everything she wanted to do. And so I just
wanted to send our best out to Megan's family, Megan's mom,
Megan's husband, Patrick, and everyone who was a good friend
and was there for her, because uh, yeah, she's a
(09:04):
special person. And I know we over the years have
met some really special listeners like Jerlice, who is a
young girl who I still talk to our family, who
she's you know, left us too soon and it's you know,
you don't know why things happen. You just think that
God needs them for a higher purpose and that their
time is done.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
I know, but it's not easy, and you got to
say I may I say something, daniel really just everyone
needs to know that how sweet you are to these listeners,
and you become very very connected in now Gandhi with
with Megan as well. You know, it's we often think
of our industry as a one way communication where we
(09:45):
sit in a room and blah blah blah and you
have to just listen to it and we don't know
what you say.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But that's not the case.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
We do interact, we do become friends with them, and
you're just you're you're an angel. I told you that
because yes, you always look out for people and you
have that, you have that that Danielle Away you know,
and you know who else is a hero here. I
don't know if you want me to say this or not. Yeah,
Ed Sharon, you want to hear it, Ed Sharon. Really,
(10:12):
he gets so busy at his concerts that he can't
stop down and meet people backstage all that much. He
invited her yeah, at her last concert, to come backstage
and say hi and take pictures.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
He knew that it was like she and twenty of
our She's seen Ed all over the world or all
actually all over the country this past year and her
last week on Wednesday night, he had a special concert
here by us, and her family knew that it might
be her last concert and she wanted to see Ed,
and so she went even the way that she was
and not feeling well, and twenty of the family and
(10:47):
friends went with her to make it a good time
to be with her and Ed's the people that work
for Ed are friend Chelsea. I mean, they pulled out
all the stops and they knew how important it was,
and Ed's team is fad fantastic and they made it
happen and she got to meet him backstage and it
was one of her last moments, and her husband said
(11:08):
that he hadn't seen her smile like that in the
longest time. So the fact that Ed took the time
to do that for her is just insane. And I'm
so happy that that was one of the things she
got to take with her.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
So excellent, you know, excellent together.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, absolutely, you know, so, you know, so keep this
in mind next time you hear an Ed sheeron song.
You'll hear it differently now because now you know you
have another reason to love the guy.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
And we love you, Danielle, and thank you also for
helping make this happen.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Absolutely so excited that we were all.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Family here and and you and Gandhi became friends friendly
with Megan.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I think that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
So look, thank you for taking your time with that.
I think everyone needs to hear that. You know, there's
more to Danielle than that obnoxious laugh.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Danielle, I'm just happy that we have what we have
and we can do what we do and help make
a difference in people's lives. And the fact that we
were on her bucket list to meet us was crazy,
like the US split. So the fact that we can
make her smile. And Patrick, you are a saint. You
(12:17):
are the most amazing husband. And I know you know
you got to check on the people that are actually
helping the other people as well, because it takes a
toll on them. So absolutely love you guys, love your family,
and we love you, daniel Love you guys. Sorry, sorry
forgetting emotion.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So sad, Danielle. It is sad, and we tell you
how much we love you stop it.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
It just makes you think like you really just have
to not sweat the small stuff, and that nobody's promised tomorrow,
and that anything could happen at any time, and that
you just got to take care of you and the
people around you and just love, love, love each day
you're given.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Do you can
