All right, I'm going to show you Todd and Kelley.
This is a couple from Webster Groves, Missouri.
Todd is a firefighter and a paramedic,
and Kelley is a dental hygienist.
They have a 12-week-old girl named Delaney.
If you look up there, in our Skybox
you'll see seven firefighters who
work with Todd at the Webster Groves firehouse.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
All right.
You guys, please hide for now.
All right.
We couldn't ask all the firefighters
to leave Webster Groves.
So thanks to Cisco, we have a few more back
in St. Louis waiting to surprise Todd and Kelley.
I'm going to call Kelley right now.
And ask them to come out here.
Oh, hi everybody.
[LAUGHTER]
Hi!
(ON THE PHONE) Hello?
Yes, I'm looking for Kelley.
(ON THE PHONE) Oh, sure.
(ON THE PHONE) Hello?
Kelley, normally I would just do a fake voice
and pretend like it's somebody else,
but I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to save time.
I'm just going to say this is Ellen
and I'd like you to come out here right now.
Oh, my gosh.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, my gosh.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Over here.
(DISBELIEVINGLY) No, no, no, no, no--
Hello.
Hi.
Oh, my God.
Hi, have a seat.
Todd, did you--
Hi.
No.
Thank you.
Sorry, if I'm shaking.
Oh, my gosh.
What were you doing back there?
Talking.
I don't remember.
[LAUGHTER]
No?
I don't really remember.
Just talking to Jeannie?
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, Jeannie, she's great.
Isn't she great?
(BREATHLESSLY) Oh, my gosh.
Yes.
Yeah, she's great.
Hi.
(BREATHLESSLY) Hi.
Hi.
So we reached out to you, and you were pregnant at the time.
And I know you had a little bit of difficulty.
How are you?
How's the baby?
Baby's great, of course.
She always is.
[LAUGHTER]
There she is.
I made that.
[LAUGHTER]
I made that.
You made that bow?
Yeah.
Well, no.
Designed it.
So what did you make?
The baby?
The human.
You made the baby?
I made the human.
Yes.
[LAUGHTER]
Well, I mean, he helped, I guess.
Oh, she visited my star.
Yeah.
She did.
Yeah, I told you--
She looks so happy to have seen it.
Yeah, she was so excited.
Yeah.
Sure.
She looks like it.
Yeah.
That's great.
She was happy for one second.
Well, I'm glad you're feeling better.
I know you were in the hospital for a little while.
And I'm glad--
Yeah.
--you're good, the baby's good.
And I know, Todd, you were working like 100-hour weeks.
You were doing all kinds of things, right?
Yes.
Yeah, I was working at my fire department full time,
another fire department part time,
and at the hospital part time.
Right.
Yes.
Wow, that's crazy.
So how long have you worked at the firehouse there?
I've worked at Webster Groves almost four years now.
Four years?
Yep.
They're great guys?
Great guys.
All right.
And you started a nonprofit to give back to the-- this
is what's really cool.
So you all take money out of your paycheck, which isn't--
Yeah.
--much at all to start with.
Yeah.
And explain what you do.
So we all donate money out of our own paychecks
to fund this nonprofit.
And then we give back to the community around us.
So we build like sidewalks for people that
need better wheelchair access.
We give away scholarships for high schools.
We do service dogs.
My voice is trembling.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah.
But all out of your own-- that's amazing.
Well, I don't want anyone to feel left out.
I brought a few of your friends here.
So come on out guys.
What?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Hi!
Oh, my gosh.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Hi, you guys.
How're you doing?
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
I'm surprised!
Oh, my gosh.
[LAUGHTER]
Surprise.
All right.
First of all, I know that firefighters have
this camaraderie, this family--
and you all support each other.
But there's been times that, I think,
it's even more important.
And I want you to explain what has been going on,
what it feels like to have this support.
Well, about 10 years ago, my wife
was diagnosed with breast cancer.
And neither of us worked for about a year,
but the guys at the firehouse kept my paycheck
coming in, making sure we were fed, making sure my kids
were taken care of and just--
it's just another family.
Yeah.
Yes?
Oh, it's just one of those jobs where
you see things that are tough to get through sometimes.
And sometimes you don't have the family support that understands
what you're going through.
But to have these guys as your extended family
and they understand what we do and what we see.
And we lean on them like we do our own families.
[APPLAUSE]
That's fantastic.
We'll go to break but--
we're going to go to a break, but I
want some people to say hello while we go to break.
All right?
Because we have some more friends that want to say hello,
thanks to Cisco.
[DISTANT CHEERS]
Wow.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERING]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Oh, my God.
[LAUGHTER]
All right.
We're going to play Kelley's favorite game--
Keep Rolling Down the Road to Riches-- when we come back.
We're back with Todd, Kelley, and the Webster Groves
firefighters.
It's time to play Keep on Rolling Down the Road
to Riches.
[MUSIC - TINA TURNER, "PROUD MARY"]
(SINGING) Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Said we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
I love it.
All right.
You're going to play the slots over here.
Each one is worth a different amount of money.
The further down the road you go,
the harder it is, the prizes get bigger.
A die is in each podium.
Each one has a certain number on the sides with my face on it.
If you roll the die and it lands on my face, you win a prize.
If you get the X, you don't get anything.
tWitch, please bring the first die over here please.
All right.
Kelley.
There you go.
All right.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
All right.
Just let it--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Yeah, just roll it.
All right, ready?
No.
Oh.
It's all right.
That's all right.
It's all right.
Let's bring that back.
OK, you got it.
All right.
OK, all right.
All right.
All right, we're going to go again.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
It's all right.
You got this time.
All right.
Let's go.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Oh, my gosh.
tWitch, please bring the correct way.
Yeah, yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
That might help.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Oh, my God.
Damn.
That is-- what a sad, sad--
Those loaded?
--day this is.
One more.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Come on.
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERING]
All right, ready?
The one time there's only one face on it,
that's the one you get.
I know.
All right.
Ready?
$5,000.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
All right.
[INAUDIBLE]
I did forget to mention--
my friends at Honey Nut Cheerios believe that when you do good,
you feel good.
So they're going to give you a check for $25,000.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
All right?
[LAUGHTER AND CHEERING]
[SHOCKED BABBLING]
And there is one more thing.
We want to help that continue--
for you guys to do good with your non-profit,
so we're also going to give your firehouse a little upgrade.
Honey Nut Cheerios is going to give Webster Groves
firefighters a check for $25,000.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
Yeah.
