how big Stuff of Us has become. It's so heartwarming
to see how many companies and businesses get involved, and
how many people care and want to help, and it
just makes me really happy.

Uh you know what, it's from the biggest companies and
corporations in the city UPMCS, and then it's people you
know doing their own collection. Uh, it's parents taking their
kids out shopping, getting a couple of toys and bringing
it out like Stuff of Us. I just don't know

(06:36):
what else I can compare this to to. Uh, just
the amount of people that come out, the different walks
of life and backgrounds that everybody is from. It really
brings everything. The people that drive an hour plus just
to come drop off of toys, that's just it's just awesome.
You know, even when they have the option to donate online,
they want to just come out to see it all.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
It is.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
We have so much more room. I know you've heard
us talk about that this week, but there's a lot
of things that have to come together to make Stuff
of Us happen and UPMC Health Plans, UPMC for Kids
has been a big part of it this year. Man,
last night was it was such a magical night out
here last night, just jumping from bus thirty six from
the end of our show to bus like you know

(34:00):
seventy two or wherever we started at currently working on
stuffing Bus number seventy six for the Marines Toys for
Tots program. Now, last night we did stuff Bus six seven.
And if you've been listening to our show for a while,
you've probably heard about our our little friend Levi. He's

(34:23):
just the best. We've told his story on the air
a few times about how you know, his parents, Sam
and Tory were big fans of the show. They came
out to when the giant forty foot rubber Duck came
to Pittsburgh, like you know, years and years ago, Me
and Bob hosted that big party, welcoming party, and we
met them there. Yeah, we got some pictures, and then

(34:46):
Levi came along, and yeah know, they kind of all
bonded as a family over listening to our show. And
then unfortunately Tory his mom passed in twenty twenty, and
then they like right after, like a year after that,
his dad, Sam passed and his grandparents and a lot
there's a lot of people that care about Levi to

(35:07):
bring them out, like Park Robinson, I think they're coming
out this morning like they've brought Levi out before, and
we tell them we're just like Levi, you know, you're
the prince of Stuff of Us, right, you know, you
know you're you're the best. And he was hanging out
here last night. He wanted to be around for Bus
sixty seven. So you know, there was a lot of
hype last there was a lot of sixty seven last Like,

(35:27):
I don't know if this lasts until Stuff of Us
next year, but Bus sixty seven was a thing. His
grandpa was out here, Levi's grandpa literally freezing in the
parking lot just so Levi could be here for bus
sixty seven. Yeah, just awesome. Yeah, so the voice is
going thank you to everybody who make sure Levi makes
it out here. Also, we had we had a at
a moment last night. Now we are overwhelmed by the

(35:49):
love that me and Bob get out here at Stuff
of Bus. So you know, there's a lineup of people
waiting to take a picture with us and you know,
just say hi to us. A lot of people have
been in us random trinkets and whatnot, I mean, which
is overwhelming in itself. That people are waiting out in
like eighteen degree weather makes no sense in a line
for hours. It's like we're yins are malsaner, right, It's

(36:11):
just it's part of their experience. I mean, some people
told us yesterday it's just like I see the Eaton
Park cookie, the Eaton Park Christmas Tree commercial, the PA
Lotto commercial, a lot of Christmas commercial and then the
and then that come to stuff with us, and I
know the holidays are here, so yeah, I don't know
if we're in that category with the Eating Park commercial,
but people told it sort of it sort of feels

(36:31):
like that's when the holidays, it's the holiday spirit. Man,
If you're not feeling it right now, I don't know
what to tell you. But yeah, we we had a
we had a pretty emotional moment last night. There was
a family that came up with a their twenty year
old son had passed last year, and they had a
picture of him and everything, and we're just telling us

(36:53):
his his story, and they said they're going to come
back and donate every year in his uh in his honor.
It was just, you know, it was it was just
really every parent's worst nightmare. It is. It's awful. No,
it's I can't even fathom how much that hurts, losing
a child. But and it means you so much to
us for them to come out and be like this

(37:13):
is gonna be part of the way that we honor
him every years, coming out and donating toys with you
guys at Stuff of Us. Yeah, and you know, I
was the story of my dad, you know, I mean, Bob,
you know, because you know my dad for forever, since
we were kids growing up playing Little League baseball. And
you know, I always tell the story of my dad
how much he loved Stuff of Us and he was

(37:34):
like blown away. He's just like he almost couldn't understand it,
like what the Pittsburgh community does for us and how
they respond to us and Stuff of Us. And you know,
I remember the year after he passed, I wore one
of his t shirts out to Stuff of Us. I'm
wearing it again, you know, Snoopy. Yeah, it's a Snoopy shirt.

(37:55):
It's it's one of his old Snoopy shirts. There's of course,
that's a dad thing to wear a Snoopy shirt, like,
you know, so I I like to wear his shirt
on the final morning of Stuff with Us to just
sort of you know, keep keep that. I mean, it's
it's not a fresh wound anymore. He's been gone for
over a decade, but it's It's one of those things

(38:16):
where do you feel I feel it too, Bob, like
I I I don't want to get too like serious,
but you know when somebody passes and that the family
that came out last night just made me feel it again.
Like you know, they're looking down on you. And there
is just no question that I know that, like my
dad and like you know, if you've come out and

(38:36):
donated and you've had a loved one that's passed and
you've you've done this to help out the kids, you
just know that they're looking down on you and they're
you know, look what we're doing Pittsburgh, Like, look at
this all coming together doing good. So as we're standing
in the parking lot last night, the four of us,

(38:57):
the two parents and you know they have other siblings
that and we're all trying not to cry, yeah, talking
about you know, people who have passed, and we get
our picture and everything, and then there's this line throughout
the parking lot like we talked about throughout the night,
and we turn our heads next in line waiting for
us after that emotional exchange we've had and it's our

(39:18):
buddy Bill Crawford, and nobody else knew in line what
we were doing or talking to this family about like
we're just having to we have the mom with everybody.
It comes out pretty much they had to pick a
bigger picture of their their son that had passed and
had Bill Crawford, you know, he's the DV Morning Show.
He just left the DV Morning Show, but he's a
great friend of ours. We're on this emotional rollercoaster literally

(39:39):
and we turn around to Bill Crawford and he just
has like bags full of toys and like NERF cannons.
He's like, what jup? God, And we were just like, Bill,
you do not understand how much we needed you to
be the next person in line to bring us back
to where we needed to be. With a smile, like
he was holding two big it was almost like NERF

(40:01):
assault rifle. Yeah yeah, and you're just like stuff of
us and we're like, no, there is no better person
then we wanted to be next in line. Ven you.
So thanks to you know, Bill Crawford for coming out

thanks to all you guys who just came out and

(40:21):
like shared a moment with us. Yeah, dropping a toy
off or saying hi to us getting a picture Like,

Little League baseball together, and that's where our friendship started. Okay,
I love this guy, like, I mean, he is family,
and I want to leave everybody with this because there
was something that my dad used to tell Bob, and
it's very, very simple. When Bob used to pitch in
Little league baseball, he would get frustrated. He's throwing, you know, balls,

(01:12:42):
and people are getting hits off him. And my dad
was like he was helping coach and everything. He would
yell through like a quiet little league feeling. He goes, hey, Bob, smile,
it's that simple. Pits or to smiles. We all go
through a lot and everything and things are tough, and

(01:13:06):
smile and you know what, Bob started smiling and it
turned his mood like that into a positive, a positive mood.
So that's what we're leaving you with. Pittsburgh. You did
eighty six school buses full of toys for the Marines,
Toys for Tots program kids you're never gonna meet. Keep

something incredible that I'm telling you, there's nothing like this
in the entire country, Pittsburgh, what you do for stuff

us look cooler and better than we are. And everybody
