When you can't do business in about fifty nine different
countries because there's seventeen thousand trade wars going on everywhere,
it tends to pressure pricing.

withholding to some of their supply to help the pricing.

He actually was inspired by John Norman to start thrownating

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, that's right. That's it. So here's what he says.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Bill and alex I pre shared this story as a
subject matter for his homily this morning. The story is
titled Alabama man secretly helped pay strangers for screws for years.
I thought it would be interesting to share the story
with you guys. Possible topic for a shop talk, though
it may be another story to touch someone on how
(02:10):
normal folk can help close to home.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
After the break, we'll get to it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Chop Talk number seventy one on secretly paying for strangers prescriptions.
Right after these brief messages from our general sponsors.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
All right, everybody, welcome back to the shop kind.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Of only it's just you and me in here today.
You think we'll get in customers.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
You're sorrydiculous. You got one hundred and thirty employees out
there in the account.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, but they're not in the shop because right here's
where the shop is.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Actually, the shop's getting legit. You're parking outside. You now
got it labeled visitor park. Like, Yeah, the shop's getting
the paved printed. There's gonna be sides up to pretty soon.
Alex the spot, it's legit. I guess we should put
an Alex spot out there. Let's just shot.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Okay, your body from We're gonna call him Keith botch Bock.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I'm not sure, but Keith, thank you for reaching out. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I don't know how to pronounce anything, but hey, I
will mess up as salallable or two every once.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
In a while. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
This isn't an article from the BBC that's titled Alabama
man secretly helped pay strangers prescriptions for a year, brought
to us by Keith, brought to him by his priest.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Isn't it interesting that the BBC British publication celebrating in Alabama.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Man, I didn't even know BBC New Alabama existed, Frank,
Although there's a Birmingham so they share that.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
True.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That's true. Okay, here we go. A farmer in a
small US town kept an astounding secret from his family
and friends. Then the truth emerged at his funeral, and
the news has inspired the community. The adage that charity
begins at home has been enacted in the most uplifting
way by the actions of just one man. Hody Childress
(04:20):
love the name Hody Childress, spent his whole life and Geraldine, Alabama,
working as a farmer and an employee of the lockeed
Martin space facility nearby. To those who don't know, believe
it or not, in Alabama, that's a huge engineering and
space community centered around Huntsville, which I would have bet
(04:41):
that this is nearby. That His family described him as
a humble, god loving man who would often send handwritten
getwell cards and share vegetables from his gardened with neighbors.
But even his family did know one big secret. Every
month for nearly a decade, mister Childress donated one hundred
dollars the local pharmacy for anyone who couldn't afford to
(05:02):
pay for a prescription. Over the years, he gave nearly
twelve thousand dollars to the community. But his generosity came
with one condition. Don't tell anybody. Brooke Walker said she'd
been the pharmacist at Geraldine's, the town drug store, for
nearly two years from mister Childress, who was a regular customer,
asked her a question. He pulled me aside and said,
(05:25):
do you ever have anybody that can't pay for their medication?
I said, well, yeah, Unfortunately that happens a lot, she said.
Mister Childress handed her a folded bill and said, next
time that happens, we use this. Don't tell where it
came from, and don't tell me who needed it. Just
say it's a blessing from the Lord. Miss Walker later
(05:45):
called mister Childress to tell him how much his generosity
meant to the customer had helped. He thanked her and
said she ended the call feeling blown away by his generosity.
She thought it would be a one time kindness, but
the next month he came in and did the same thing.
It continued every single month for almost ten years. I
never saw it lasting this long, and he always said
(06:07):
keep this between us. Eventually, his daughter Tanya Nicks, had
to be brought in on the secret. After battling illness
for years, her father became unable to leave his home,
but one day asked for a favor. He said, I've
been doing something for a while and I would like
to continue doing this. He said, I want you to
take an hundred dollar bill up to the drug store
(06:27):
at the first of the month as long as I'm alive.
The requested in surprise her. As an Air Force veteran
a man of faith, she said, her father cared deeply
for his community and country and always saw to help
others in any way he could. Mister Childress died on
January one of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
He was eighty.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Miss Nix initially had mixed emotions about sharing her father's secret,
but felt compelled to speak about his generosity at his
funeral because it showed the kind of man he really was. Afterwards,
she set a staff member for the local high school
approached her to say thank you. Her son had been
prescribed an EpiPen, but the family struggled to afford the
six hundred dollars cost for the life saving shot of adrenaline.
(07:12):
Mister Children's generosity helped cover the expense. She said, my
dad could have possibly saved her son's life. News of
her father's altruism quickly spread throughout the community and the media.
After the story was reported in The Washington Post this week,
Miss Walker said her pharmacy began receiving calls from across
the US from people wanting to help keep the fun going.
(07:34):
Miss Nick said it can often seem like the country
is moving further apart, but her father's gesture has been
a reminder of the importance of kindness and community. People
do care and there's hope out there. She said, Wow,
what a great story. When did Keith send it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
A couple of weeks actually, speaking of which I made?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Is it an old story? That's what I'm trying to get.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Oh, I'm curious because that's awesome And once again it
is a beautiful, blaring example that you don't have to
be part of any big five, oh, one, seed three
or anything to make a difference.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
You can see an area need and fill it.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
January twentieth, twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh, it's just right, Yeah, what a great story. That
kind of makes me think that's something I could do.
That's easy. Yeah, it's just a hundred bucks. I mean
to a lot of people in their bucks is a bunch.
To some people, hundred bucks a month is very doable.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Or you could do ten dollars a month, or fifty
dollars a month or whatever whatever. Some of you can
do one thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Or you could have an Army of normal folks chapter
and make something like that part of your giving circle.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah, that's interesting, Bill.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Did you like my transition?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Do you think about that?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Why don't you talk about it? Okay?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So the giving circle idea is where army members get
together and we do much more interesting philanthropy together than
we can do on our own. So for an example,
like if say Alex could afford to donate one hundred
dollars a year for this kind of you know, pharmacy benefit,
together as a giving circle, we might be able to
do ten grand you know what I mean? An Oxford, Mississippian.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, there's a chapter with fifty people and everybody gives
one hundred. Now you got five thousand dollars and now
you can really do something. Yeah, So hopefully soon enough
we'll be uh embarking on such a thing.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yeah, don't make an excuse. You do it right now,
with or without the giving circle.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's true with her out. But it's something we could do. Okay,
everybody shop talk number seventy one. Find an area and
need and fill it, even if it's something as simple
as as this. And you know, you don't have to
be part of some big organization to make an impacting,
(09:49):
lasting difference in people's lives. And this story is so
inspiring that it was brought to us by a listener,
brought to him by a priest, and brought to the
priest by BBC from I'm a little.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Bitty town in Birmingham.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You never know what some little small gesture being just
a normal person doing a easy kindness, what that will
do for other people, and what that gesture can inspire.
And here we are talking about him.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
What's interesting is you could say it's you know, it's
only ten twelve grand and yet it's gotten all this attention,
but it's just like so surprising and so creative and
a normal person doing it that it really I mean,
it's we all love the story and we're all drawn
to it so it's Yeah. It really is a great
example of you don't need to do the biggest things
in the world to make a big impact.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
No, And I think part of it also is he
did it confidentially. I think that's really sweet. That is
the epitome of a Turkey person. That is, the guy
who wants to do something good and wants absolutely no
recognition for it, doesn't even want to know who he helped,
just wants to know that he helped. I love that part.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, there is an interesting conversation about that though too
if sometimes it's helpful to share it because and encourage
other people to do it too, So there is a
good debate on that.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
But if you do share it, you got to do
with humility.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, but we can certainly say that his daughter allowed
the story for that very absolutely. So that's great. All right,
everybody shot talk number seventy one. Do what you can
where you can.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Sy Alan Barnhart was a great example that for years
he didn't want to tell anybody what he was doing.
That's true with giving away you know, only making like
one hundred and fifty thousand despite having a billion dollar
company and giving away half their profits, like he literally
builded until anyone except I think you know some people
close to him for years.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, so you can go to our Alan Barnhart story
if you want to.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Finally, people convinced him like, hey, you got to talk
about this so that other people can learn from it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It's true, It's absolutely true.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That was a really cool interview. Okay, your body shot
Talk number seventy one. Do what you can where you can.
It's never too late. And thank you, mister Bock. I'm
so sorry about your name for being a story. Guys,

Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
When you can't do business in about fifty nine different
countries because there's seventeen thousand trade wars going on everywhere,
it tends to pressure pricing.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
The two of the major suppliers, like I said, they're
withholding to some of their supply to help the pricing.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, well good luck. How long can you do that?
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
But anyway, so we got trade wars going on, Lisa's
decided that our house needed to be redone, and so
I live in a construction zone at work.

No, And I think part of it also is he

Yeah, there is an interesting conversation about that though too
if sometimes it's helpful to share it because and encourage
other people to do it too, So there is a
good debate on that.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
But if you do share it, you got to do
with humility.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, but we can certainly say that his daughter allowed
the story for that very absolutely. So that's great. All right,
everybody shot talk number seventy one. Do what you can
where you can.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Sy Alan Barnhart was a great example that for years
he didn't want to tell anybody what he was doing.
That's true with giving away you know, only making like
one hundred and fifty thousand despite having a billion dollar
company and giving away half their profits, like he literally
builded until anyone except I think you know some people
close to him for years.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, so you can go to our Alan Barnhart story
if you want to.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Finally, people convinced him like, hey, you got to talk
about this so that other people can learn from it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It's true, It's absolutely true.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That was a really cool interview. Okay, your body shot

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
