Jonah and Erica’s son just told them that he wants to quit football and not play his senior year of high school. Erica is adamant that he finishes his high school career and play his last year. He’s played since he was young and she believes that he only wants to quit because he wants to be lazy and is tired of the constant practices. Jonah disagrees, he’s going to college next year, he’s almost an adult, they have to let him make his own decisions. What would you do? (33:45)

Donna has got a shot at $800!  Can she beat Raven in pop culture trivia and win the jackpot?  (42:36)

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Pilot comes to the rescue of little girl’s tooth

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Pilot comes to the rescue of little girl’s tooth

With all the crazy stories of people on places, airlines, and airports lately it’s always nice to hear a feel good nice story like this one.

A little girl was flying with her family back to their home in South Carolina after traveling internationally overseas when she lost her tooth mid flight! The worst part was that she couldn’t find it. They looked all over the plane and no luck. Obviously she was very upset because she planned to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy when she got home.

That’s when the pilot of the plane stepped up in a huge way. He decided to write a note to the Tooth Fairy for her. It said, “Dear Tooth Fairy:  Lena had a tooth fall out on her flight to Greenville.  Please take this note in place of her tooth.”  Then he signed it “Captain Josh.

So sweet. Pilots are the best.
