<v Speaker 2>M hm hm.

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>After a brief illness Saturday after Saturday afternoon, Scott left us.

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>It has been a.

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 3>It has been a rough couple of a couple of months.

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 3>The last couple of weeks have been really really hard,

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 3>especially the last week. I do want to say this

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 3>about Diane, and I do want to say this about Scott.

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Diane has been a trooper. Diane has been so strong

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 3>through this. While all this has been going on, Diane

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 3>has come in every day, partially therapeutically, to.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Come in.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 3>And laugh and have some fun times. And then Diane

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 3>would go home and be a loving wife and a

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 3>loving mother, and a and an unbelievably strong woman. And

0:02:53.680 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 3>then I want to say this about Scott. I've sat

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 3>in this room for since ninety nine with Diane five

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 3>feet away from me every single day, and I have

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 3>to thank Scott for all of it. When I first

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 3>got here and was putting the show together, it was

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Scott who encouraged Diane to even meet with me. It

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 3>was Scott who encouraged Diane to make the change and

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 3>come work with me. And because of Scott's encouragement and support,

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 3>I got to meet Diane and work with Diane.

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Every single day.

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>I got to become friends with Scott, share great times

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 3>with them, through getting married, through having a baby, and

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 3>raising a very strong and independent daughter. I'd never thought

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 3>I'd have to come in and do this, so I

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 3>know that there's been some disruption to what we do

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 3>every day, but it was the right thing to do,

0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 3>and it will be the right thing to do. Diane

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 3>is doing as well as Diane can do. Diane's going

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 3>to be away for a little while. I don't know

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 3>how long, but even when Diane's ready to come back,

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 3>Diane'll come back Right now, She's surrounded by family, friends,

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 3>her daughter, and as much love as those people can

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 3>give her.

0:05:49.880 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>That's what she's surrounded by. For the rest of the week.

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>We are not going to be here. We all need

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 1>some time to grieve.

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 3>We all need some time to process, and we all

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 3>need some time to go be with Diane. So the

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 3>show will be off for the rest of the week

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:07.960

<v Speaker 3>We've all met her. I've known her for years. She

<v Speaker 3>I hate to say it. All right, p Scottie and Diane,

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:08.839
<v Speaker 3>Put everybody in this room and everybody who tunes in

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 3>every day and your friends, your family, We're here for

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 3>you and we love you.

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>May I share something please.

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 4>You so beautifully explain how you, oh, Scott everything for

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 4>this partner ship. And it was Scott over the last

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 4>months who was also encouraging Diane to try to sit

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 4>in this chair. So from before it started twenty seven

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 4>years ago to the end, he still was that driving

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 4>force that knew how strong Diane could be. But one

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.199
<v Speaker 4>of my favorite stories, and I had never heard it,

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 4>and there were obviously five years before I joined the show,

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 4>and Scott told this story at the twenty fifth anniversary party.

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 4>He was so excited to have all of his friends

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 4>tune in to your first day with Diane, and then

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.959
<v Speaker 4>he heard the show. It was horrible, and he said

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 4>to me, Tyler, the show sucked.

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>It was horrible.

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 4>He was so embarrassed that he had had anyone tune in,

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 4>and he couldn't believe we were sitting there at that

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 4>dinner and it was twenty five years later. He didn't

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 4>think the show had twenty five days in it because

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 4>it was so bad. And I love that we were

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:16.839
<v Speaker 4>able to so many years of milestones. Later, at that

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.199
<v Speaker 4>twenty fifth party, hear that at least me for the

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.960
<v Speaker 4>first time, because I don't know those days of the show,

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 4>and to hear you kick this off giving him credit

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 4>for the teaming up of you two, and to know

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 4>how embarrassed he was he did so in real time,

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 4>and then obviously how everything panned out for now since

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 4>nineteen ninety nine and twenty seven years later, he was

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 4>always a pleasure to be around, always told it like

0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 4>it was.

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>And we're going to miss him dearly.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Mhm.

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 3>So we'll be off the rest of the week. We'll

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 3>be back in here on on Monday. And this will

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 3>only make sense to Diane and Marlene. But I gotta

0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 3>go outside and throw up some prayers.

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Scottie too. Hotti. We'll miss you, Diane, we love you,

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Elliott in the morning.
