Since it's Monday and some of you may have the Monday blues,
I thought I'd show you a video that's
guaranteed to make you happy or at least wake you up.
Take a look.
[BAND MUSIC]
[CHEERING]
Yeah.
That goes on for about 20 more minutes.
[LAUGHTER]
He's here today.
Travis, come on down.
[CHEERING]
Hi Travis.
Hi, how's it going.
Here's a microphone for you.
There's my mic.
Oh.
Yup.
I was watching you dance from my dressing room,
and you were having a good time out here.
You've got a lot of energy.
Man, it comes-- it comes from you.
Yeah?
I watch your show all the time, like, oh, I
want to be like Ellen, bro.
Like for real.
All right.
Well you have more energy than I do.
All right.
So this video that I saw made me so happy.
You're in the marching band at Fresno High School, right?
Fresno State.
Fresno State, sorry.
And so did you choose cymbals?
Or was there nothing left?
OK.
So, all right, all right.
Yes.
But here's the reason why.
My first choice was cymbals, OK?
Everybody at home.
My first choice was cymbals.
But everybody else that tries out for any other drums,
if they don't make it, they go to cymbals.
That's their last resort.
So when people ask me, like, why did you pick cymbals?
What did you get cut from?
I'm like, nothing.
Yeah.
Cymbals is me, like, that's what I do.
Uh-huh.
And they're like, really?
And I'm like, yeah, that's me!
Yeah.
So.
So what made you want to play the cymbals?
It matches my personality.
Like, I'm really loud and vibrant.
So anytime I get to play the cymbals, I'm like, ooh,
I'm crashing crazy.
That's me and my hair is going everywhere.
I'm like, ooh, let's go!
Right, right.
[CHEERING]
So-- So I was told that you were hoping I would see that video.
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
I did.
Yeah.
Over one million views.
I mean, you must have been shocked that it
got that much attention.
Honestly, like, it was very humbling when I saw it.
Because I was like, you know, I've been doing this for,
like-- this has been my whole life.
My whole fr-- everybody all, everybody at home
knows that this is me.
This is what I do.
But like, when it finally got like, picked up,
and someone got a video of it, I'm like, whoa!
Like, that's crazy.
Even when I see it.
So it gives me a headache.
I'm like, dang.
Yeah.
I'm like, really going in right there.
Yeah.
I feel it after the games for sure.
All right?
So you're a student, you're working,
you volunteer in your community.
And then I heard something.
Really, this is a bummer.
So you ride a bike around, right?
Yes.
And what happened to your bike?
Well the bike-- so someone at Fresno State decided,
oh, let me slash his tires, you know?
If they didn't have anything else better to do,
slash my tires.
It's ridiculous.
So it's been crazy.
I walk, I bus, carpool, everywhere.
Anywhere I gotta go, I get there, though.
Well that's-- I hate to hear--
you know, you've got such a great, joyous personality.
And for someone to do that to your bike,
I wanted to do something nice for you.
OK?
Actually my friends at Shutterfly.
I can't take credit for it.
Because my friends are Shutterfly
heard about your story.
And they love that you're helping amazing people
and they want to do something.
So here, follow me, OK?
OK.
All right.
Can't always get the bike inside.
Oh, I said it.
Oh look, here's a camera.
Ooh.
They're going to follow us.
What's up, Mom?
What's up Travis' mom?
All right.
This is what happens for nice people.
[SCREAMS]
That's yours.
[CHEERING]
That's your car.
Get in.
Brand new Jeep Wrangler, 2020.
Yo!
Yeah.
This is so cool!
It is pretty cool.
Yes.
All right.
Be careful in underground parking lots.
That's pretty high.
You'll have to-- yeah.
Leave that on there.
All right.
We'll be right back.
