We usually don’t worry too much about Reggie Redbird’s life insurance needs.

Then Dairy Queen released this video. 😂

Apparently people are trying to dip the mascots in sauce.

Reggie… it might be time to give Ryan a call. 😂

Go Birds! 🔴⚪️

And somebody please keep the ranch away from him.

Life insurance is important.

Coffee helps. 😂☕️

Ryan can't promise that talking about life insurance will be the most exciting thing you do this week…

But he can make sure there's a Jasper's Java drink involved. 💚

Get a life insurance quote with The Scritchlow Agency, and we'll treat you to a drink at Jaspers.

No purchase necessary.

Because apparently everything is a little easier to talk about over coffee. ☕️

25. 50. 20.

Is it an insurance term?

A locker combination?

Ryan’s high school GPA?😂

This week on Polos & Policies, Ryan is talking about the auto insurance requirements in Illinois—and why knowing the minimum and knowing what’s appropriate for you are two very different questions.

And if 25-50-20 actually is the combination to your safe…

Maybe don’t put that in the comments. 😂

The banners are officially up at Jasper's Java! ☕️💚

Getting them there, however, was apparently more difficult than Ryan anticipated. 😂

The ground was so rocky that by the time Ryan got the banners installed, he had blisters to prove it.

All to make sure you know that September is Life Insurance Awareness Month—and we're celebrating with a little help from our friends at Jaspers.

No purchase necessary.

Life insurance. Coffee. Minor injuries.

Apparently Ryan is committed to this promotion. 😂

There are some insurance words everyone knows…

…and some insurance words everyone pretends they know. 😂

This week on Polos & Policies, Ryan tackles one you’ve probably seen, selected, and confidently nodded along with:

Deductible.

Do you actually know what yours is?

If not…

Ryan may have some homework for you. 📚😂

Sometimes you have to multitask. 😂

A bleacher delivery showed up early at the MCB fields today, so Ryan attended his district meeting through his earmuffs… while unloading bleacher parts. 🎧🔩

Insurance meeting 🤝 Baseball field work.

The funny part? Today’s district meeting started with a conversation about how we as agents find ways to make a positive impact in our communities.

Meanwhile, Ryan was listening while literally unloading new bleachers for the baseball fields. 😂

Grateful to work with a company that encourages us to get involved and make a difference in the communities we serve—even when that means the camera needs to stay off for safety reasons. 💚

How great is it to be part of a building with businesses that come together to support the larger community?

We’re excited to partner with Walker's Martial Arts again for the 2nd Annual Empire Trunk or Treat! 🎃

It’s even better seeing so many of our neighbors and fellow local businesses jump in to help make it a great afternoon for kids and families.

This is what community is all about. 💚

HELP US CREATE A GREAT AFTERNOON FOR LOCAL KIDS & FAMILIES!

There are several ways to get involved:

Reserve a space and decorate a trunk, hand out candy, and meet local families.
Donate candy to help make sure there is plenty for all the kids attending.
Make a cash donation to help support the event and make the afternoon even more special for local children and families.

Every trunk, every bag of candy, and every donation helps us create a bigger and better community event for area families.

Want to reserve a space or make a donation? Message us or call/text Joe at 309-242-2440.

Come be part of an afternoon built around kids, families, fun, and community!

There are a lot of perfectly reasonable questions you could ask about this video…

Why does Ryan have a giant tower of Jasper's Java cups in his office? ☕😂

There’s actually a pretty good reason.

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month—and it also happens to be Ryan’s birthday month. 🎂

So Ryan decided we should celebrate both with a little help from our friends at Jaspers Java.

If you call the office and make an appointment to talk life insurance with Ryan and he gives you a quote. We’ll get you a drink at Jaspers. ☕💚

Watch the video for the details—and please don’t ask how long it took Ryan to build the cup tower. 😂

Nobody plans on getting into a car accident.

And when one happens, it can be hard to remember what you're supposed to do next.

Fortunately, Ryan has developed a highly sophisticated checklist. 😂

This week on Polos & Policies:
What should you do after a car accident?

08/21/2026

Apparently ChatGPT has gotten to know Ryan a little too well. 😂

He asked:

“Describe me like you’re trying to warn someone before they meet me.”

The answer was… concerningly accurate.

Try it yourself and let us know:
