WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.839
Very appropriate, so on for our
next guess hero. Yeah, but we

2
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.480
first you guys, tell me update
you on. We talked. We were

3
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:13.080
asking about the book vending machines that
were five thousand dollars and then to maintenance

4
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.079
was three thousand dollars a year.
And I said, please, someone explain

5
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.839
to me, because if there's a
great reason for it, great, But

6
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.600
these are schools, they have libraries. Why an't the books just in the

7
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.920
library. Why are we spending eight
thousand dollars in the first year for a

8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:31.600
machine that has books? And people
have said the kids get to keep the

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.880
books, and the kids are way
more engaged to get the books out of

10
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.439
the machines and take them home than
they normally would in the library. Got

11
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.159
was reached out by a friend of
mine I graduated with as a principal in

12
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.920
the school downtown and says, it
really has worked out so good as long

13
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.000
as it makes sense. I'm okay
with that. I just sometimes when you're

14
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.159
spending eight thousand dollars and it's some
books that were if you walk five steps

15
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.960
there right there in the library,
you got to make it make sense to

16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:03.039
me. And sometimes there's athletic departments
in public schools that aren't getting that kind

17
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:07.200
of money, like no money for
athletic departments. I think sports are important,

18
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.239
all right, Today's a big day. It's one year ago today the

19
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:19.879
National Bank shooting happened. Complete chaos
happening all at once, including hundreds of

20
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.719
phone calls. That's right, hundreds
of phone calls all go in to nine

21
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:29.519
one one aka Louisville Metro. Safe
These men and women, they're excellent at

22
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:34.920
their job. The response time under
three minutes thanks to both agencies working in

23
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.480
concert. I want to bring in
our friend. You hear your money with

24
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.719
us all the time. Jody with
Louisville Metro saying, hey up dude,

25
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.400
good morning, Jody. How are
you man? What's up? Guys?

26
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.760
How are you all doing? Doing
good? Listen? Came in well,

27
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.840
Jody, just like big time and
next hour, I guess I could.

28
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.159
Oh, you're right. He is
literally feet away from our front door.

29
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.159
But that's cool, man, Jody, it's cool. I'm not going to

30
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.760
run you down. Joe. I
know you probably got stuff going on.

31
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.560
It's derby time, you know.
We're out here actually a Churchill downs doing

32
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.280
some derby planning. Hey, listen, I do wanna I do wanna get

33
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.039
serious because I want to recall one
year ago today, the tragic events old

34
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:23.159
National Bank shooting. I want to
kind of if you could walk me through

35
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.240
that morning, because you know,
you you men and women, you do

36
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.039
train, but some calls just can't
train for it. And I gotta think

37
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.919
that that's one of them. Uh, talk about that morning, how it

38
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.719
started, and kind of walk us
through the events, if you don't mind.

39
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.759
You know, those those calls came
in and we you know, we've

40
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.719
had some uh some calls that have
come in pertaining the active shooter that have

41
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.759
been false, but this was a
morning, you know, a year ago

42
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.759
that uh you know, when these
calls came in and then you start to

43
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.879
get several calls after that of the
same type of thing, and it really,

44
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:00.599
you know, alerts you that hey, this isn't this isn't a fake

45
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.479
thing, this is real. So, you know, our call takers took

46
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.319
those calls and then they transferred that
through the technology to the dispatchers, police,

47
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.199
fire and the MS and uh,
you know, the dispatchers they went

48
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.439
to work and uh, you know, and then the responders went to work.

49
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.639
I mean literally, I mean it
was just a you know, everybody

50
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:22.680
to such a good job. So
obviously nine one one was called by several

51
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.560
people. But at some point,
uh, is there a redundancy where you're

52
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.840
getting hundreds of the same calls and
it might for lack we better return be

53
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.560
clogging up the system number one?
How to handle that? Well, the

54
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.240
good thing about it is, you
know, when we when we get several

55
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:42.120
calls, whether it's an active shooter, a fire, a motor vehicle accident

56
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.879
where a lot of people are calling
for one instance, you know, our

57
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.599
call takers can see that that that
that run has already been put up and

58
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.680
sent in and they don't have to
ask all the same questions. They may

59
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.960
ask if something's changed or you know, if there's new information that they may

60
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.000
be able to pass on to the
responders, but you know they can they

61
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.280
can eliminate the because they can say, hey, help us on the way,

62
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.319
you know, uh, And depending
on you know, if it's a

63
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.039
fire, have you evacuated? You
know, if it's an active shooter,

64
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.879
are you sheltering in place or are
you run fight hiding? Are you you

65
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.000
know, you're doing things like that, so you know the time that they're

66
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.519
on the phone versus you know,
after the initial couple calls come in versus

67
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.879
those those initial couple calls, is
the times eliminated a lot. Okay,

68
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.279
this is obviously a very difficult sort
of thing to train for because they're all

69
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.600
different. They seldom happened, fortunately, But since it did happen, how

70
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.879
has training changed after it? You
know, we always look back and try

71
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.199
to see what we can do better. And you know, the the number

72
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.000
of uh, you know, the
number of calls that came in, you

73
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.439
know, and it was transferred over
and our call takers and dispatchers did such

74
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.560
a good job. There was one
of the call takers that stayed on the

75
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:54.120
phone for a very lengthy amount of
time with someone in the bank that was

76
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.759
actually hiding in a in the bank
vault, so you know, just to

77
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.000
reassure that person that that that help
was coming. So you know, they

78
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.639
were on the phone, I'm sorry, the dispatchers were on the the uh,

79
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.720
you know, the radio with you
know, all the responders, you

80
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.120
know, including those first ones that
went in and eliminated the threat and and

81
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.800
uh you know, and then the
EMS and fire that took care of the

82
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:16.240
victims, you know, as the
police were bringing them out of the building.

83
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.639
So you know, it was very
stressful. You know, adrenaline takes

84
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.879
over. It's it's the time afterwards
that you really have to watch your people

85
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.000
and make sure that they've got you
know, they get the help that they

86
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.240
need. And we still offer that
assistance today if it's needed. But talking

87
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.480
about it, you know amongst your
peers, with peer support teams, with

88
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:39.279
potentially licensed psychologists, you know,
you know that that's what really helps and

89
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.759
getting them, you know, getting
them back in that seat and being able

90
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.360
to do the same thing. And
we've had some calls you know, since

91
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.959
then, and obviously it brings up
the nightmare of a year ago today,

92
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.600
but they still go to work.
They still do it, you know,

93
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.759
all of our public safety you know
agencies, they still do what's supposed to

94
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:57.360
be done. Well, let's talk
about the calls from inside the scene on

95
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.720
this particular day, would be from
inside old National Bank, Uh, the

96
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:08.040
operator, call taker, first spart, whatever it might be. Do they

97
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.639
stay with the caller even though there's
a backload of redundant calls coming in.

98
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.800
Do they stay on the phone with
the person that's actually inside the scene and

99
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:23.040
help them through or encourage them,
give them tips on how to stay avoid

100
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.639
the shooter. What goes on with
that? Yeah, I mean, it

101
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.720
depends on the situation and what they're
you know, what they're encountering, you

102
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.160
know, and all the situations are
different. You know, there's medical emergencies

103
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:36.040
where we're actually giving CPR instructions over
the phone to people and we're staying on

104
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.360
until until help arrive. So,
you know, depending on the type of

105
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.240
call, and if someone's running out
of a building or evacuating and you know,

106
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.480
whether they're even able to stay on
the phone, you know with them.

107
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.720
Like I said, we stayed on
the phone with one of the individuals

108
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:53.319
that was that had locked themselves in
the vault. You know, Like I

109
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.399
said, it just depends on the
situation that the person that's on the other

110
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.480
end of that line. What the
what the situation is that they're in.

111
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.839
Is there a feeling of helplessness somewhat
when you get these calls and you know

112
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:09.519
exactly what's going on, you're trying
and encourage the victim. Or is there

113
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.279
a feeling of oh my god,
I'm helpless, but I want to walk

114
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.600
them through this. What's the feeling
like being on the other end of that

115
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.959
phone Jody, You know, I
don't know. You know, it's something

116
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.680
that you know, in my career, I was I was able to face

117
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.879
the emergency and I could see it
with my eyes. You know, you've

118
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.560
taken that, You've eliminated that,
you know, the vision out of it.

119
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.680
So they can't see what the person
that's calling can see. So they've

120
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.279
got to imagine what they're going through. And you know, my call,

121
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.319
my hats go off, you know
to the call takers and dispatchers because there's

122
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.399
no way I could sit in there
and and just listen to what's going on

123
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.079
and then figure out what has to
you know, try to imagine what they're

124
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.000
seeing and what they need and try
to get them, get them the help

125
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.120
they need. You know, when
you're taking that sense of sight completely away

126
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:56.439
from them. You know, technology
is coming and you know, hopefully one

127
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.319
day we'll be able to you know, we're getting to the technology where we

128
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.680
can have people send us things where
we can see and send it to the

129
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.000
first responder. But you know,
it's like I said, I couldn't.

130
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.399
I couldn't do what. You know
what those folks do. I mean,

131
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.399
they're just such a such a talented
group of people. How many people were

132
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:15.959
on duty that how many people were
taking calls that morning. You know,

133
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.759
we were we were full staff that
morning. You know, I'm not you

134
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.199
know, we had ten to twelve
people in there on the floor, depending

135
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.639
on breaks and you know, things
that were going on. But you know,

136
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.639
it's a situation that when when those
calls come in, everybody stops what

137
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.600
they're doing and goes to help.
You know, you've got a relief person

138
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.240
that's doing dispatching that kind of moves
around and allows people to take breaks.

139
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.159
Well, she was actually one that
went over behind the police dispatcher and was

140
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.200
helping her through what she was going
through. So it's an all hands kind

141
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.679
of thing. It's crazy. You
know, we had Matt on earlier.

142
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.240
It was just such it was chaos, but everyone just focused and did their

143
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.639
job and it's just such an amazing
story. It's tragic, you know.

144
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.879
Dwight and I went back and forth
on having people that were, you know,

145
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.240
really involved, and it's like,
you know, we don't want them

146
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.960
to relive it today, right,
you know, like on the radio on

147
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.039
the on the first anniversary. But
that's the feelings all of you guys down

148
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.480
there at Metro Safe went through this
morning as you wake up, going,

149
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.559
man, it's one year ago,
last year. But you know what,

150
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.279
you guys do this every single day. It's it's sort of chaos every single

151
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.120
day, you know. Unfortunately,
and you know, just a couple hours

152
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.480
after you know, the initial Old
National Bank shooting, we got, you

153
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.240
know, there was a dispatch of
another one. Yeah, so you know,

154
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:31.559
you know, you just you never
know when that call is going to

155
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.799
come in for any emergency. So
you know, all of our public safety

156
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.879
responders, we've done such a good
job. You know, we started active

157
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.519
shooter training back in twenty thirteen in
the city, and you know, we've

158
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.000
done a lot of scenarios, a
lot of tabletop exercise, and we can

159
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.320
always get better. There's no doubt
about it. You know, you you

160
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.480
you know you'd be you know,
you would not be very good towards your

161
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.360
agencies if you didn't say you couldn't
get better and look at everything that you're

162
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.039
doing. But you know, they
did pretty good. They did a good

163
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.879
job that day. They did have
a terrific job that day. Every agency

164
00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.919
did. And almost slipping a joke
just for a second, people ask me

165
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.399
all the time, how do you
sleep at night. For me, it's

166
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.759
tras it on and ambien a couple
more narcotics in tequila. But a serious

167
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.159
question coming off that joke is,
uh, there's got to be PTSD and

168
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:24.039
involved with this job as well in
trouble sleeping and recalling nightmares, living through

169
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.879
certain situations. Like Tony just said, it's not just the old National Bank

170
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.360
shooting that we're calling now on the
anniversary, it's every day, every minute

171
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:37.240
of the day. Is there resources
for the call takers over the Louis Metro

172
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.960
Safe for PTSD counseling Because I got
to think all the day, just a

173
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.759
normal day, I would need it, but after the mass shooting, I

174
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.759
would definitely need it, you know. They one of the one of the

175
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.240
big things we just try to get
people to do is talk about it,

176
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.600
you know, talk about what you
did that day, you know, and

177
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.159
reaffirm that they did good that day. You know. We've got a great

178
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.360
partnership in a contract with Seven Counties
Services where we have behavioral health specialists in

179
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:07.759
our nine one one center to handle
mental health calls that come in through nine

180
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.360
to one one. Well, that
day we immediately shut that down and our

181
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.360
behavioral health specialists from seven County Services
went to work and started helping our own

182
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.000
people. So that was, like
I said, that was just a great

183
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.720
partnership that happened to be, you
know, happened to be available that day.

184
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.559
And they've you know, they've been
they've been such a good supporter of

185
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.039
us, you know before and even
you know, daring in sense as well.

186
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.559
So our thunder preps right on target
Derby prep all that that's right,

187
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.879
yes, sir, I mean it's
you know, they're actually going through a

188
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.919
tabletop exercise today and had several meetings
the air boss meeting for the air show

189
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.960
on Monday, and uh several meetings
for all the large KDF events yesterday,

190
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.399
so uh, right on schedule.
I mean, you know we're uh,

191
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.960
we're planning, you know for everything. We need to plan for emergency operations

192
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.600
centers that be open various locations for
various events, and you know, the

193
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.240
Kentucky Derby Festival and you know the
Churchill Down or such great partners and I

194
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.879
credit our emergency response in this county
for anything that we have large scale to

195
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.159
the Derby and the and the Derby
events that surround it. Because we come

196
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.279
together every year, we know each
other We're not meeting on the hood of

197
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.120
a car. You know. It's
you know, even when people when there's

198
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.240
turnover and agencies, we always get
together every year. It's not like the

199
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.480
super Bowl's coming in ten years or
you know, other events are coming,

200
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.759
you know, in several years out. We get together every single year and

201
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.919
playing. So with all the responders
around here, local, state, and

202
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.440
federal know each other, well,
I want to speak to that for one

203
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:39.360
second, because it's not just Kentucky
Derby. You all work obviously Kentucky Derby.

204
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:45.320
Obviously thunder over Louisville, which is
unbelievably packed, two hundred and fifty

205
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.039
grand something like that. You got
bourburden beyond, you got louder than life.

206
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:56.679
These are hundreds and hundreds of the
White Birthday, my birthday and no,

207
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.480
but I gotta think it's it's year
long prepar and you men and women,

208
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.679
you do an excellent job. I
just want to say thank you man.

209
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:05.519
Yeah, good job. Well,
and those are events that can that

210
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.600
can play into an incident. So
you rehearse a lot of these incidents active

211
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.000
shooters and fires and weather emergencies.
We rehearsed these in these large special events.

212
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.120
So even when they happen not associated
to a special event. Our people

213
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.159
are on top of it. I
mean our you know, our our first

214
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.600
responders locally, they're just on top
of it. By the way, Greg

215
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.519
gets your chimes in, says,
we had a half a dozen police chaplains

216
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.879
respond immediately that morning. It's just
everybody. Yeah, everybody, everybody got

217
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.519
involved. It's Chris saw Greg and
spoke to him that morning, and you

218
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.960
know, he was a great resource. And you know, he was involved

219
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.159
in the Family Assistant Center that we
had set up, you know, within

220
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.159
two hours at the at the convention
Center downtown. And he's always been a

221
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:48.159
great resource to be able to tie
into it. We love working with him.

222
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.639
We're working with him with the PGA
as well. Oh yeah, yeah,

223
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.159
yeah, Well listen, I just
want to say thank you and if

224

and we appreciate you. You got
it. Thank you, Thank you.

229
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:15.919
Joey, What a great day for
lots of pasta. Sit in the cafe.

230
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.159
It's kind of a cool, rainy
day. Have a cup of coffee.

231
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.600
I always talk about the homemade entrees
family sized individuals. They have veggie

232
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:30.039
lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, Mexican
chicken lasagna, egg plant parmesan for the

233
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:35.120
vegetarians. For cheese Lazania, chicken
tetrazini, chicken parmesan. This is the

234
00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:37.840
way to go homemade food. But
you don't have to make it. It's

235
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.440
already been done by Lots of Pasta. The secret's been out for lots of

236
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.000
Pasta for a while. Matter of
fact, I saw Dwight Knight's butt doctor

237
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.200
at Lots of Pasta last time I
was there. That's right, yeah,

238
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.200
Easter Whitney Jones. Because you gotta
eat clean if you're working. Done tutin,

239
00:14:54.360 --> 00:15:00.279
but doctor tutan, yeah, better
than most. That's right out,

240
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.480
doctor Whitney Jones. He did.
We were in the bread aisle right before

241
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.240
the checkout, and he was like, are we doing the back to back

242
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.320
colin oscars? I say, your
darned touting, we are, And then

243
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.799
doctor Whitney Jones tore off a piece
of bread, and he goes, try

244
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:20.600
this bread and Tony goes, or
buy my own bread. Lots of pausas

245
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.240
at thirty seven seventeen Lexington Road in
the heart of same mathters We'll see you

246
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:33.159
there on news radio eight forty who
if the next shut up, If the

247
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:39.600
next UK coach doesn't work out,
UK fans will be singing this song.

248
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:45.240
By the way, Caliperry hasn't been
introduced his Arkansas's coach hip, but they

249
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:56.159
have issued social media with him in
the Arkansas Jacket betrayal best best version of

250
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.879
this song. She does a great
job. Bunnie Tyler does a good job,

251
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.279
but the Saxton do it? Hold
on, hold on, what are

252
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:07.120

I'll get out, I'll take off early.

254
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.639
No, shut up, No,
you have a story to do.

255
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.159
I've got a couple of stories to
dude. Let's get it. Hey,

256
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.200
I'm just saying I've made out a
bunch of this song in the nineteen eighties

257
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:27.399
was nervy effective in the first million
times second you were talking about how you've

258
00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:37.440
made out of stop it. Don't
laugh. They said, that's not an

259
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:42.000
emphysema. Laugh, stop it.
You've heard him say it a million times.

260
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.240
He said, no, it gets
it's older. It's been old since

261
00:16:48.279 --> 00:17:00.399
nineteen ninety four, said what was
the day? Dave has been doing that

262
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.640
joke since the early nineteen nineties.
He knows it joins me crazy. The

263
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:10.079
first time he did it was nineteen
ninety four in Gerstal's tavern, probably because

264
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.559
I was just like, that's dumb. I had Why did you just say

265
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:17.880
that accurate? It's funny today.
I'm always talking about you. Just quick

266
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.400
on his feet if you But I
don't know geometry, so that's a good

267
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.000
one. Okay, So what do
you? Oh? Yeah, clips stories,

268
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.240
clips they keep the music going.
Then I guess, yeah, music

269
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.119
going. That's right. Getting all
excited now, Well, the total path

270
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.200
of totality day was Monday. That's
whatever, totally totally. It was eclipse

271
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:44.319
Monday. Most people, most like
day, just picked out a good spot,

272
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.799
got their glasses in some cases they're
expired glasses they were, and watched

273
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:56.359
the eclipse. But several people got
sucked into a thousand dollars eclipse flight.

274
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.240
Oh whoa, whoa, whoa what? Yeah, so sucker. Several airlines,

275
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:07.440
Uh, they did an eclipse,
say Spirit Spirit Airlines. I don't

276
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:08.920
recall them. Okay, you don't
know. I think a couple of them

277
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.640
were doing that. Yeah, several
of them did it. So you fly

278
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.000
on the plane, look out the
window, see the eclipse. Do they

279
00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.000
only sell window seats? Okay,
I'm getting to that. It's one thousand

280
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.400
dollars a ticket to attend the eclipse
flight or a reporter. Who are these

281
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:32.519
people? You just don't understand.
Uh, several people did these flights.

282
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:37.920
One of them was a reporter for
the Atlanta Constitutional Journal or Constitution Journal.

283
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:42.000
Yeah, something like that. She
described her flight. Here's went down for

284
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:48.319
the thousand dollar flight firsthand. She
said. The highlights, well, the

285
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.279
highlight for her was the goodie bag. It contained hat, socks, a

286
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.799
moonpie, and sun chips for one
thousand dollars. Yeah get it because a

287
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:02.200
moonpie and sunship. I get it. In the sun. That's that was

288
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.559
the highlight for her. As far
as the viewing of the eclipse, she

289
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:08.640
said, would be better off to
watch on the ground because it never got

290
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.759
fully dark because you were so high
up. For whatever reason. Along with

291
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:18.680
that, it was not just window
seats, Tony, it was the middle

292
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.799
seat in the aisle seat as well. If you didn't have a window seat,

293
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.759
what you would probably see is the
view of the back of someone's head,

294
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:27.640
which can be a good view every
once in a while, but not

295
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:38.559
on this view. Dude, you
got me? Please got me? Please?

296
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.759
No he didn't. No, he
didn't, David, that's ten dollars

297
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:52.240
out of the bed. Oh yeah, Oh my gosh, you're a freaking

298
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.279
cycle paththage. So if you weren't
sitting, if you weren't sitting at a

299
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.440
window seat, chances are you just
saw the view of the back of someone's

300
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.599
head, or even worse, you
get to watch it from their cell phone

301
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.480
as they were video. So tell
me then, no, they didn't get

302
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.480
did say that? The pile that
would, however, bank the plane from

303
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.599
Starbard to port on both sides,
so each shot each side could get a

304
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.119
shot. It's only three minutes,
bro, Hey, so I mean it's

305
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.559
over. Sound like my wife very
generous, by the way, My wife

306
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.279
is a very generous lover. So
am I by the way, But my

307
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:32.279
wife always looked at me after we're
done, after I bestow upon her my

308
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.440
husbandly blessing that I can give to
her too. Generous. She looks up

309
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.599
at me and she always says,
uh, even an egg takes three minutes.

310
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.079
Actually the joke is two minutes.
Even an egg takes two minutes.

311
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:49.079
I like my I like my eggs
out dentate though, Hey, let's keep

312
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.359
it on the eclipse. Were your
eyes damaged, Dave? Were you any

313
00:20:53.640 --> 00:21:00.200
Everything seems okay, but there are
plenty of dumbas says that hurt their eyes.

314
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.079
This was coming. Listen, all
the eyes were on the eclipse Monday.

315
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:11.559
Hopefully they had the proper I wear
theropa. Huh, proper proper English.

316
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.599
But I always say proper. He's
a proper good He's a proper good

317
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:21.359
gentleman. Is David Beckham? Fabulous? Nipples okay, not familiar? Nipple

318
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.039
probably good? And nipples are you
know? I can't watch these movies.

319
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.279
If it's look I'll see like I
love anything British, I can't. I

320
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:34.759
won't watch it subtitles if it's not
in America. I'm watching a movie about

321
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:38.920
a Russian in a Russian hotel for
forty years, and everybody doesn't No one

322
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.400
speaks Russian. They all have English. Accident and was in a hurt come

323
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:45.880
in episode two, and I was
like, why is everyone in an English

324
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:51.839
accident? They're all Russian. Years
ago I came upon the because that sounds

325
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:56.079
fancy. That's how fancy proper good
yo. Years ago I came across the

326
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:02.079
Netflix series Narcos. Yeah, and
I really wanted it. It was Pablo

327
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:04.519
Escobar. I wanted to watch it
so desperately I turned on Speak. We're

328
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.720
going to make it authentic. Everybody's
gonna speak Spanish, like, can you

329
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:12.880
just talk English with an accent?
Kids? Just talk American? Well,

330
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:22.599
even better, can you just talk
American? Learn English? Amigos? Great?

331
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.559
This line in uh in roadhouse Amigo. No, it's one of the

332
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.519
many lines. Great lines. Oh
and I got another story in second,

333
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.880
but let's just wrap it up on
this one. So people they googled,

334
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.640
do they Is this a story where
they googled my why do my eyes hurt?

335
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:44.279
No? This is I swear to
you that spiked spiked. You're looking

336
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.000
at the sun in the middle of
the day. In the middle. Let

337
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:52.359
me tell you it is permanent damage
for the rest of your life. Bingo.

338
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:57.119
There you go. The American Academy
of Ophthalmology reports the symptoms to look

339
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:04.720
for include blurry vision, headache,
blind spot in central vision of one or

340
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:11.400
both eyes. Sounds like married person, increased slind spot, increased sensitivity to

341
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.880
light, distorted vision, headaches,
blind spot, married changes the way you

342
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.799
see color. This sounds like me
at I don't see color. It sounds

343
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.480
like me like ninety five ten o'clock
at night. Man, that's after three.

344
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.640
Now. What's weird is our friend
Lisa had some glasses you got from

345
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.480
a hospital and one of the warnings
on the side said, don't stare at

346
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:33.759
the sun even with these for more
than three minutes two eclipses. I've never

347
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.680
heard that, but it was on
those glasses. I don't know. Well,

348
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.440
here's the thing. You really have
to be into it if you're staring

349
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.319
at it a long time, because
after you look at it, you're like,

350
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.119
oh, okay, it's good,
it's gonna happen. Okay, it's

351
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:48.680
about halfway about halfway Bourbon. Here's
the worst news. If you suffer from

352
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.440
solar retino therapy, or as we
like to call it, eclipped blindness,

353
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:59.200
there's no treatment for it. Experts
say that your eyes that eye injuries are

354
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:04.799
rare, but it does happen if
you have a smaller, a smaller amount

355
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.319
of this, it can recover.
And I think I think if I damaged

356
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.799
one eye because the two interviews I
saw the old guys, they're like,

357
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.519
I did this when I was like
eight or nine and it damaged and only

358
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.039
damaged. When eye get an eye
patch, eye patch, or you know

359
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.640
what, I think I get a
new eyeball, like one with like a

360
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.480
bull's eye in it, oh yeah, or or and have different eyeballs that

361
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.440
I can PLoP in there. There
was a bad guy on I think it

362
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.720
was True Lies. Yes, yeah, yeah, he had he had the

363
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:37.160
bulls eye or the no, the
scope and he had like a smiley fish

364
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.720
change or patch. I'd be uh, what was the name of the patch

365
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.519
on that soap opera? No,
no, you don't was it Blackie Patch

366
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:49.240
Adams? Was it Blackie? Who
are the patches? Okay? Stopping you

367
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:53.519
right there, you're worsing yourself.
The only person with the patch that you

368
00:24:53.559 --> 00:25:00.480
should look up to is the one
and the only snake Blitzkin. That's you.

369
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.279
That's the look you want to go
for. Who's the dude in the

370
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.480
band, Sharon the Knight together,
Captain Hook, Captain Hook, Doctor Hook,

371
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:17.039
Doctor Hook, just giving up for
tickel Bell on the drums. Okay,

372
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:23.960
so I mentioned Roadhouse and and put
up wet. I mentioned the movie

373
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:27.640
Roadhouse, and everybody's giving me grief. Say o, Connor McGregory's a horrible

374
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:32.160
actor. What it is? What
it is? I'm at home last night

375
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.000
during the commercials on TV. I
start flipping through social media and I get

376
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:42.359
served an ad with a trailer they're
redoing and have redone Popeye the Sailor Man,

377
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.559
and Connor McGregor is Popeye. Okay, I couldn't. I couldn't even

378
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:53.599
watch the trailer. Okay, Oh
what Days of Our Lives? Patch Adams?

379
00:25:53.839 --> 00:26:00.359
No, Steve Patch Johnson. Look
you remember called a cup? He

380
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.680
had a little bit of a scar
and a patch. I never watched flowing

381
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:12.200
hair. Remember the guy you remember? Patch Johnson? Steve Pats Johnson.

382
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:17.559
Jeez, what are you unique for
a guy with John? Days of Our

383
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.559
Lives? No, he's real on, No, he's real, dude.

384
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.920
Oh uh, saman Johnny Texas Representative
Dan Crenshaw, he's got one. Oh

385
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.440
cool? Is he in a wheelchairs? And another represent that's the governor of

386
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:36.359
Texas. Okay, you're thinking of
Larry Flint that's a different guy altogether.

387
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:42.279
You didn't sit at home when you
were playing hooky from school and watch soap

388
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:47.240
operas. No, I eat your
pocket. Always look for Channel forty one

389
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:51.039
or something like that. They would
have like a Shafford Son rerun. We

390
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:55.400
used to watch General Hospital when we
were little. Yeah, yeah, I'm

391
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.720
telling you they hold up if you
I think there's one left, Robert Scorpio.

392
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.519
They're so bad, they're awesome.
Well, we'll tell you this though.

393
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:07.319
As soon as I are we Binge
watched like season will go, going

394
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:12.240
through the entire the Entar catalog,
and they were like, you know what,

395
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:18.200
I bet if we watch the soap
opera opera be unlimited, be five

396
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.359
a week for several weeks. I
looked up, like I think it was

397
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.279
Guidingline or one of these days.
Years, yeah, fifty years, or

398
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:29.880
like you know, thirteen thousand.
Back then, General Hospital had an alien

399
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.119
and an evil family with a weather
machine. Yes, okay, so let's

400
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.160
go we're aging ourselves now, but
let's go back to the big offices when

401
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:42.359
we had cubicles. Right, remember
when ladies women would have not too many

402
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:47.519
guys, but women would have those
little tiny black and white TVs on their

403
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.279
desks, right, and they would
watch the soap opera during the day their

404
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:55.279
stories because they could not miss the
soap op. Avee's got to write your

405
00:27:55.319 --> 00:28:00.720
stories watching their stories. Yes,
give me one of them. Is there

406
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.759
one? Can you pull up one
that I can remember? Like the opening?

407
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.400
Pull up the days of the week, No, which is one?

408
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:12.119
It's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
These are the days, no week yet,

409
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:18.759
days of our lives, like sands
to the hour glass. These are

410
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:26.839
the days, see which we have
here. So fantastic, nothing more American

411
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:32.960
than the soap opera. Then we
got the nighttime soaps like Dallas and Falcon

412
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.559
Crest. They were much more heavy. Not enough Falcon Crest, not enough

413
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:44.039
full front of nudity and yeah,
there's a shoulder page in her jacket or

414
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:49.440
not big enough, tease the hair
some more like Sands to the hour Glass.

415
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:55.759
I keep waiting for him to say
something I wish you would and make

416
00:28:55.799 --> 00:29:00.559
sure this is the clean version.
I would like to make sweet sweet love

417
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:07.240
to this. And while I'm making
sweet sweet love, I'll be wearing my

418
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.920
shady rays, which you can wear
too. By the way, how about

419
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.279
this? You just don't stare at
the sun. Don't stare at the sun

420
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.920
with them. They're good. They
are great. Baby, you're gonna love

421
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.960
your Shady Rays. I want to
tell you your work right now, knock

422
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:26.240

423
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:29.319
the gang. We said, hey, check out the color Rush. You're

424
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.400
gonna love the color Rush. They
make all the colors just so much more

425
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:34.319
bright and vibrant. And right now, if you're at your desk, look

426
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:38.759
up at Shady rays dot com.
Look up these new lagoon lenses. They're

427
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:42.000
just called lagoon, but they're brand
new. Look up the little goon lenses.

428
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:47.680
I bought two different styles in them. They're absolutely gorgeous. And if

429
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:52.759
you use code Whas you get fifty
percent off two or more pair. That's

430
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.440
in store at the Oxmore Center.
Right line is Shady Rays dot Com.

431
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.279
Stick around back to put a bow
on it and wrap it up here just

432
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:02.960
a couple of minutes. News ready
to wait. Forty whis
