It's our first, it's our first Christmas without Charlie. 31 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: We all miss him terribly, and we thought what we 32 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: should do is we should give a chance for everyone 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: on the team who wants to to share their favorite 34 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: stories about Charlie, how funny stuff, how he impacted their lives. 35 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: So it's not just going to be Mikey, Danny me. 36 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: It's where we asked Bryden, we asked Kylie, we asked Brian, 37 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: we asked a lot of people you've never seen on camera, 38 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: but we wanted to get them a chance to speak up. 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: Some of them can't come on because they are in 40 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: fact working the cameras right now and can't leave them. 41 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: But what will still give them their due? But so Danny, 42 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: how about we go with you first? It's your favorite 43 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: Charlie too. 44 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 5: So I have two pretty funny ones. The first one 45 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 5: is like, I'm a big o Highest State fan. And 46 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 5: so Charlie and I Highest Date played Oregon twice last year, 47 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 5: and the first time Charlie was actually at the game 48 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 5: and Oregon won on like this last second play. And 49 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 5: so immediately as soon as the game ends, my phone 50 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 5: just starts blowing up from Mikey and Charlie like trash 51 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 5: talking the heck, he's just insane, like, oh, what happened 52 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 5: in this game? 53 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: Like all this crazy stuff. Yeah. 54 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 5: So then when they ended up playing later in the season. 55 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: Thirty two to thirty one, that must have been an 56 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 3: amazing game.

So I'm running up and down this driveway burned, 179 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 5: it burns. So I'm running up and down this driveway 180 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 5: still in my swimsuit, shirtless. Charlie pulls up in the 181 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 5: car from the hike, sees me just running shirtless down 182 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 5: the driveway and he's like, what the heck is going on. 183 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 5: We explained that I just got like stung by a jellyfish, 184 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 5: and Erica pops out of the car and her first 185 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 5: thing is like, Charlie, you've been drinking so much water. 186 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: Go pee on him. And I was like, what is happening? 187 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: And so that did not happen. That did not happen. 188 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 5: I said, I would rather lose my foot, and Charlie 189 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 5: is like, yeah, that's not happening, Erica, that's never happening. 190 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 6: Wait part of the story, Danny, You're leaving out a 191 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 6: part of the story where where Betty comes out with 192 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 6: a bottle of vinegar. She goes, this will this will 193 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 6: make you feel better, and Elizabeth pours it on you 194 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 6: and Danny scream. 195 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 3: At the top Okay Ohio State fight song. 196 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 5: No, I have snapped my ankle in half, like broken stuff. 197 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 5: That pain of the white vinegar on the jellyfish sting 198 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 5: was so much worse. So then immediately after that, that's 199 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 5: when I started running up and down the driveway because 200 00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 5: the pain was so bad. 201 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, it might have been better. 202 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: I heard that would have. 203 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: Been a lifeline through the wall. 204 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: Creepy ragging rights. I suppose that is. That's a really 205 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: funny one, Mike. Do you have any other ones that 206 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: you wanted to share before we start getting into the 207 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: members of the team. 208 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 209 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 6: The The other thing is Charlie was just notoriously generous. 210 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 6: It was something that a lot of people just didn't 211 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 6: know behind the scenes. And Charlie's philosophy and giving is 212 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 6: that he didn't like telling people about how he gave 213 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 6: because he felt like it stole the blessing of it. 214 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 6: So all of us, Blake, Danny, myself, churches in this 215 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 6: community have so many stories of Charlie's epic and amazing 216 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 6: generosity and we can all just kind of think of that, 217 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 6: but I just want the world to know how generous 218 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 6: he really was, especially this time of year. He would 219 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 6: see something and he'd want it fixed, and he would 220 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 6: go above and beyond to show that generosity to so 221 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 6: many different people, especially at Christmas time, to random groups 222 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 6: too that they're like, is this the Charlie Kirk donating 223 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 6: to us? And it was oftentimes that was the case. 224 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 6: So he was just epically generous and I think both 225 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 6: of you guys can agree with that. 226 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 227 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 2: I mean I remember he asked what I was doing 228 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: for my birthday this year, which is late August, so 229 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 2: this is just before the trip, and I'm not a 230 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: big birthday guy, so I was like, I don't. 231 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: Have much of a plan, and he just said, all right, Danny, 232 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 3: you and Nate.

He shared 244 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: a core memory for me with Charlie. It was going 245 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: on my first trip with him. I was super nervous. 246 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: I didn't want to mess anything up. I ordered food 247 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: for us in the team and Charlie said, Nate, I 248 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: hope this food you picked is good. We sat down. 249 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: He told me to sit across from him because he 250 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 3: wanted to get me to know me personally. He asked 251 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 3: about my background, my family, my faith, and of course sports. 252 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: And this just showed me the type of guy Charlie was, 253 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: and I can I can back that up. 254 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 3: Charlie. 255 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: He would he would really want to digest what your 256 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 2: your background was, so if only. 257 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: So he could tease you about it. So he was 258 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: always bringing up that. 259 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, Blake, you went to Dartmouth. I never talked 260 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 2: about that, but he would always bring it up.

And that was Charlie. He wanted to know. 270 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 6: He genuinely wanted to know who you were in your story, 271 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 6: and it was I don't know what his criteria was, 272 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 6: but he would sometimes be impressed. 273 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 4: Sometimes he would just, you know, move on. 274 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 6: But I guess I impressed him somehow because afterwards he 275 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 6: was like, Okay, how about you don't go to college 276 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 6: and come work for me.

I really wanted to share these ones because 314 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: these are some of the guys that you don't you 315 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: very rarely see except in the background of some tabling 316 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: events and so on. 317 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 3: The studio crew. I wanted them to come on camera, 318 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: and they told me that emphatically they could not do this. 319 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 3: So let's dive into it. We've got Brian. 320 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 2: He is one of the vast Farnsworth clan that we 321 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: have several members on this show, and then not that well, 322 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: they're pretty vast, but Brian on the team, and he says, 323 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 2: Charlie basically never stopped working, even in the car or 324 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: on the plane. He was constantly on phone calls, reviewing, strategy, reading, 325 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: et cetera.

He was 531 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 2: very notably. He was a guy we sent on assignment 532 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 2: to DC. He helped with the transition, and he says, 533 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 2: my favorite memory is from when I was working in DC. 534 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: We had a particularly hectic day, a lot of those 535 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: in DC, and all of a sudden, Charlie comes speed 536 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: walking in from around the corner with a massive smile 537 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 2: on his face, which immediately raised the morale of the 538 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: entire office. He always made the effort to see his 539 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: people whenever he made the trip to DC, and it 540 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 2: never failed to raise everyone's spirits. We've heard about that 541 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 2: from people who were in the White House too, like 542 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: him whizzing around the West Wing and he just always 543 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 2: had that energy that presence that let's go, let's go. 544 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 11: Which I even feel like it says a lot for 545 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 11: those of us that were with him every day, Like 546 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 11: there was not a day that Charlie came in that 547 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 11: made the day worse. Like every morning he was excited 548 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 11: to do this show, yes, and to get to work, 549 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 11: like there was never there was you know, you see 550 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 11: some people's time. 551 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 3: There was no it's gonna be bad. 552 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, always excited to work, which made everyone else excited. 553 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 10: Yeah. 554 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 6: Well, just to brag on Brandon and Charlie, I mean, 555 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 6: it was New Year's Eve last year that we flew 556 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 6: straight to Palm Beach, missed the New Year's We spent 557 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 6: New Year's Day in our hotel room at the Hilton 558 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 6: Palm Beach just kind of watching the ball drop on 559 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 6: the TV. But Charlie wanted to make sure the transition 560 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 6: went well. And so part of the reason Brayden was 561 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 6: in the White House is he was kind of like 562 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 6: Charlie's guy in there, helping oversee a lot of stuff. 563 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 6: And actually, to Brayden's credit, like he went through a 564 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 6: lot of hardship in the White House, and that story 565 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 6: is really awesome because Charlie would always go. 566 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 4: To DC and he'd be seen all the time. 567 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 6: And I remember a couple of weeks ago we were 568 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 6: meeting with Linda McMahon and she shared that story with Erica. 569 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 6: She was like, you know, it was crazy because at 570 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 6: first we were like, why is Charlie here? And then 571 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 6: we started to say to ourselves, man, we really like 572 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 6: it that Charlie's around here. And he was like the 573 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 6: one outside of the administration that was just always seen 574 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 6: walking around the halls, the West Wing, the one helping 575 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 6: with their transition. He played such a pivotal role in that, 576 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 6: and yet he didn't even have a seat in the administration. 577 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 4: He just kind of helped select everybody. 578 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 6: In there, and he was just he was consistent and 579 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 6: present both in and out of the White House. 580 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, we've heard from so many people who there express 581 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: thanks to me to Andrew where I'm here because Charlie 582 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: advocated for me so hard, and I'd never met him before. 583 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 3: He was just so impressed. 584 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 2: He was that endless motor, that endless energy. It's such 585 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 2: a positive feeling. It's why he lit up so many 586 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: people's lives. 587 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 11: I also just really quickly on that note, Mike, you 588 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 11: want to say that I think we all remember when 589 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 11: y'all picked up and we're like, we're gonna We're gonna 590 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 11: go help. And then the rest of us were like, Okay, 591 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 11: but we're still gonna do the show every day, right, 592 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 11: And we still made it work. But it was a 593 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 11: very complicated couple of months. 594 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: Very very complicated. I know it was supposed to. 595 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 4: Be a week. 596 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 11: It just kept getting longer and longer. 597 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 2: I is Charlie ever coming back? And we were a 598 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: little worried about it. 599 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 11: For all to move, Yeah, what's the plan? 600 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: It was funny we have Catherine sent in a story. 601 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 2: She says her favorite story was she was in Sedona 602 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 2: and Charlie was in full dad mode watching college football 603 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: with his parents. 604 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 3: I don't know what that looks like, but I can 605 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,199 Speaker 3: kind of. 606 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 11: I just how so many people's memories are Charlie in college. 607 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 8: It is. 608 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 3: A little different. 609 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 2: I remember when the US was in the World Cup 610 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 2: and we were doing the show.

But Charlie was super distracted from the show 613 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 2: because he had his iPad and was just watching the 614 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 2: World Cup. 615 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 3: Games that America was in in the middle of the show. 616 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: Yes, I just he'd do a five second question to 617 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 2: the guest and then just with. 618 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,719 Speaker 11: The Olympics, with March Madness, we would have an iPad 619 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 11: set up there. I remember March Madness, he wanted all 620 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 11: of his brackets printed out so it would look like 621 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 11: he's having like notes for the show. They're just as 622 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 11: March Madness brackets, just like filling them out, as as 623 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 11: who got marked off if he's how on track he is. 624 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 11: He made a couple different brackets every year, it was, 625 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 11: but he bounced it all. Yeah, somehow show every day. 626 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 627 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 628 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 6: He was just such a good dad too, like Catherine 629 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 6: talks about him in dad mode, Like Blake, do you 630 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 6: remember when we were in Tokyo and we went into 631 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,959 Speaker 6: don Quixote.

He had only previously 713 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 12: been there once. It's where I'm from really close to 714 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 12: that area, and he'd been there once and he went 715 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 12: in January, where if you know anything about eastern Washington, 716 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 12: it's ugly, it's horrible in January, and so Charlie just 717 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 12: thought that's what all of Eastern Washington was like. So 718 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 12: he said on air, he was like, it's so such 719 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 12: a barren land. I don't like it up there.
