The results are officially in, and it is time to reveal the truth about Jeff Beyer!

Did our favorite "keeper of the kids" actually live a secret life as a high-stakes diplomat or a high-speed racer? Let’s look at the facts:

• Statement 2 is a TRUTH! Jeff really did push a NASCAR stock car past 130 mph right over at Gateway International Speedway. He’s just as fast on the track as he is at delivering those elite-tier high fives. 🏎️💨

• Statement 3 is a TRUTH! The State Department actually interviewed him, and he was indeed a finalist to be the Deputy Ambassador to Australia. Crikey! 🇦🇺💼
That means Statement 1 is the LIE! 🎓✈️

School - 7
NASCAR - 4
Austrialia - 12

While Jeff is certainly a high-flying guy in spirit, he didn't graduate from the Air Force Academy in 1977. Instead, he stayed grounded closer to home and proudly attended AFROTC at SIU-Edwardsville where he was commissioned as 2 Lt in 1977! 🔴⚫

Thanks to everyone who played along! Keep an eye out for Jeff, and make sure to claim your special high five next time you see him! 🙌🎉
