Speaker 1: It is Kentucky and his Morning News with Coffee and
Speaker 1: Company on news radio eight forty w h AS seven
Speaker 1: oh five Here as we get this seven am hour started,
Speaker 1: and we are joined by L and PD spokesman Dwight Mitchell.
Speaker 2: Happy for Friday, sir, how are we doing well?
Speaker 3: Good morning, Nick? How are you, my friend?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. It's Friday. We're feeling good. And uh,
Speaker 1: that's a good place to be. And I wanted to
Speaker 1: start with something that Chief Humphrey said yesterday in his
Speaker 1: press conference in regards to the issues currently with crimes
Speaker 1: involving juveniles. Rather than be those that are victims of
Speaker 1: these crimes or perpetrators of these crimes, and how they need,
Speaker 1: there's help us needed from parents. And I think that's
Speaker 1: an obvious thing, but I'm not sure many. And I'm
Speaker 1: just just me speaking me speaking for myself here, I'm
Speaker 1: not speaking for anybody else, But I think that you
Speaker 1: all could have the more resources than any law enforcement
Speaker 1: agency in the world. If there's not work done at
Speaker 1: home and there's not a better environment for kids, this
Speaker 1: is really never gonna stop. I mean again, I don't
Speaker 1: know that for certain, it can't prove it, but it
Speaker 1: just seems as if I think some people just want
Speaker 1: to throw blame towards well, they got it, they got
Speaker 1: somebod they got to curb the violence. They've got to
Speaker 1: find a way to fix this. And sure, obviously you
Speaker 1: want to keep people safe, but parents also must do
Speaker 1: their part, and clearly that is not happening in instances,
Speaker 1: and it's it's a huge factor here that I'm not
Speaker 1: sure many realize is really the root of this.
Speaker 4: Yes, Nick, I think you are echoing the sentiments of
Speaker 4: many people across the nation. And we're going to talk
Speaker 4: about Louisville, Kentucky because that's where we live and work.
Speaker 4: You know, it goes back to that saying that the
Speaker 4: hand the rocks the cradle rules the world, and that's
Speaker 4: generally the family that starts that out. And unfortunately, in
Speaker 4: some situations with some of our kids, some people are
Speaker 4: born into the world, some people are damned into the world.
Speaker 4: Well said, and you know, with the societal eels that
Speaker 4: we have, obviously some of these young people get caught
Speaker 4: up into the four square block that they may be
Speaker 4: living in and that may be their reality of what
Speaker 4: they're dealing with. And yes, in the perfect world, we
Speaker 4: want every parent to parent and do what we all do.
Speaker 3: I mean only by the grace of God.
Speaker 4: Go why because I had great parents and have great
Speaker 4: parents at this stage and it worked out for me.
Speaker 4: But there was some good parents that did good things
Speaker 4: and their kids still win a rise. So sure we
Speaker 4: have to understand that that everybody's not a reprobate parent
Speaker 4: in that sense, but by the same token, obviously with
Speaker 4: the rise and crime that we're seen, especially among our
Speaker 4: young people, especially in you know now thirteen fourteen, fifteen
Speaker 4: years old, going into adult situations where I think the
Speaker 4: other day we made an arrest on some young people
Speaker 4: that and I think one adult that had several guns
Speaker 4: and drugs that we had to take off of them. So, yes,
Speaker 4: this is a problem, but we have a lot of
Speaker 4: great kids that a lot of great things, But we
Speaker 4: cannot ignore what's happened.
Speaker 3: In our community and them being victims.
Speaker 4: Of the crimes and also perpetrators of it at the
Speaker 4: same time.
Speaker 1: And your experience, I would assume that kids not being
Speaker 1: in school with summer break, that's that's probably somewhat of
Speaker 1: a factor in the timing here, right.
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, you know, as much as sometimes we
Speaker 4: rail on JCPS a lot of times because you're hoping they.
Speaker 3: Get the educations what they go to school for.
Speaker 4: But also it's a safe place up for many of
Speaker 4: these young people for six or seven hours.
Speaker 1: Maybe the best aspect, the best environment for any of
Speaker 1: these kids.
Speaker 4: Some absolutely up for different reasons because they're in a
Speaker 4: controlled environment for the most part, and even though we
Speaker 4: have issues there, at least they're not being shot and killed.
Speaker 4: At least that's where we are at this point. That's
Speaker 4: where we hope it stays. But you know, JCPS may
Speaker 4: be responsible from door to door, but once you get back,
Speaker 4: I think you can even be convinced when you're in
Speaker 4: a good situation that things are good. But when you
Speaker 4: go back to your reality of what it really is,
Speaker 4: it's very difficult to navigate, especially when young people, because
Speaker 4: the coping mechanisms are not the same as yours.
Speaker 1: It's all about your environment, what you're exposed to and
Speaker 1: correct you you at a young age, you really it's
Speaker 1: not necessarily just about do you know right from wrong.
Speaker 1: It's just you may not be aware of your surroundings
Speaker 1: and sort of what it's doing to your to your mindset.
Speaker 1: And I think another part of this is just society.
Speaker 1: Kids are able to be exposed to things so much
Speaker 1: easier now, and I don't mean in a good way,
Speaker 1: but it's back in the day if you didn't know,
Speaker 1: you didn't have a device in front of your in
Speaker 1: front of your phone at all times, where you can
Speaker 1: see things on social media that maybe they may not
Speaker 1: lead you to to follow a life of crime, but
Speaker 1: you're just you're able to be exposed to it a
Speaker 1: lot earlier than than you used to be. And I
Speaker 1: think that's one of the things just from and I'm
Speaker 1: a parent myself, we kind of got into this staring
Speaker 1: the last conversation is that we're going to see as
Speaker 1: we move forward, because there are now young adults, even
Speaker 1: teenagers that didn't have what kids have the access to
Speaker 1: now in any moment and that can and have. We'll
Speaker 1: learn as we move forward in society, we're going to
Speaker 1: learn what kind of impact that had.
Speaker 4: Oh well, correct, and I believe you know we're in
Speaker 4: a situation now that we still have some good things
Speaker 4: going on. One of the things we have with the
Speaker 4: police department, with Metro government is the GBI, the Group
Speaker 4: Violence Intervention and some of the kids that were identified
Speaker 4: that may be headed in that direction, are in it.
Speaker 4: We're saying, hey, stop, rewind, press play. You got a
Speaker 4: chance to change your life because you're headed down a
Speaker 4: path that's going to lead to you either getting in
Speaker 4: trouble or your ultimate death. And that's just the cold
Speaker 4: heart reality of where we are.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: Again, it's going to take everybody. Parents, is going to
Speaker 4: take the community. It's going to take churches if you're
Speaker 4: involved in that, or community centers or whatever set of
Speaker 4: values that you have that we can get you in
Speaker 4: a path or success, because we want everybody to experience
Speaker 4: the life that you and I have experience, absolutely and
Speaker 4: even better because every generation is supposed to get just
Speaker 4: a little bit better. And I think that's where we
Speaker 4: want to be uh with that. And yes, they are
Speaker 4: exposed to many things way too early in life, but
Speaker 4: it's also the reality we got to deal with.
Speaker 3: You can't dwell on the past.
Speaker 4: You know, because they're just well yeah, because just think
Speaker 4: about it, all your all your vital organs are pointing forward,
Speaker 4: your eyes, your nose, your lips. The only things behind
Speaker 4: you is some gas to your fault. Well said, I
Speaker 4: don't know if that's supposed to be for radio or not.
Speaker 4: But that's to come up with at seven eleven in
Speaker 4: the morning.
Speaker 2: Stuff.
Speaker 1: So there are parents that are trying. And as you said,
Speaker 1: and this is this is so true and probably should
Speaker 1: be said more is you can have the same upbringing,
Speaker 1: same environment, same culture, same type of parents, and and
Speaker 1: one kid may go a different direction than the other.
Speaker 2: That's just that's just life.
Speaker 1: But there are parents that that probably I mean, I
Speaker 1: think the notion is that, well, nobody's paying attention to
Speaker 1: their kids. I'm sure there are parents out there trying
Speaker 1: and it's hard. What do you guys see in your
Speaker 1: line of work as far as parents that that realize
Speaker 1: maybe you know, maybe their kid they need some help.
Speaker 1: There's resources to kind of maybe get them involved in
Speaker 1: things that just could keep them away from following down
Speaker 1: the wrong path.
Speaker 4: Well, one of the things the police Department has is
Speaker 4: the Power Program or Police Athletic League, where we have
Speaker 4: young people come in and there's all the type of things,
Speaker 4: not just only athletics that they're involved in, but we
Speaker 4: try to try to stimulate the holistic approach to life
Speaker 4: because there's many fast as everybody doesn't play sports. We
Speaker 4: try to give them some safe haven, some ways to say, hey,
Speaker 4: I know you want these things in life, and here's
Speaker 4: how you can get them. You don't have to beat
Speaker 4: somebody in the head over it, or you don't have
Speaker 4: to steal, rape, robb or do anything. Just good discipline
Speaker 4: of getting where you want to go. Because some people
Speaker 4: say hard work, and may be true, but a squirrel
Speaker 4: in a cage works hard, but not going anywhere. It
Speaker 4: all depends on working smart and getting to where you
Speaker 4: want to go. And four things I told my sons
Speaker 4: to do to stay out of poverty, and that's this.
Speaker 4: Go to school, get a job, get married, if you
Speaker 4: want to, have kids, if you want to If you
Speaker 4: do it in that order, the chances of you making
Speaker 4: it in this world great, not that if you do
Speaker 4: it out of that order that it won't be good.
Speaker 4: It just makes it that much more difficult. And that
Speaker 4: comes down to that big word. We'd like to use
Speaker 4: a lot choices, and they do have consequences, and consequences
Speaker 4: is not always bad. All consequences means is the result
Speaker 4: of something you do are choosing not to.
Speaker 1: Could result in maybe a learning experience that changes your life.
Speaker 1: There you go, that's such a good way to look
Speaker 1: at it. So you mentioned the program there. You know,
Speaker 1: my son is five, you just turn five. My daughters
Speaker 1: she's nine, and in this era of their lives as
Speaker 1: children and me as a parent, I realize how impressionable
Speaker 1: kids are at that age, to where just introducing a
Speaker 1: kid to a program like that or others in the community,
Speaker 1: because there are people that are trying to keep kids busy,
Speaker 1: even ones that don't play sports, because clearly they need
Speaker 1: something to occupy them. You never really know what that
Speaker 1: could do to a as far as that just really
Speaker 1: I mean again not to sound dramatic, but it could
Speaker 1: change the direction of their life because again, at that age,
Speaker 1: you're curious. You just doesn't take much to get your
Speaker 1: interest because you want to learn, and that could go
Speaker 1: a long way.
Speaker 4: Well, absolutely anytime, and I've said this many times, anytime
Speaker 4: I go to the hospital or see a newborn, when
Speaker 4: I go by in the nursery, I always bow because
Speaker 4: you never know who's in there and what they're going
Speaker 4: to become and what they're going to be. And it's
Speaker 4: something that doctor Benjamin May said years ago. He used
Speaker 4: to be the president of Morehouse College and was the
Speaker 4: mentor to doctor Martin Luther King and he said, the
Speaker 4: men at Morehouse, what we do. We put a crown
Speaker 4: above their heads and hope they grow tall enough to
Speaker 4: wear it someday. And that's what I think we want
Speaker 4: for all of our kids, to put a crown above
Speaker 4: their heads and hope they grow tall enough to wear
Speaker 4: it someday. And anytime any of us come into contact
Speaker 4: with young people, whether they're your niece and nephew, are
Speaker 4: just the kids you meet somewhere, you can say something positive,
Speaker 4: like you're doing something that you like to do and
Speaker 4: making some money doing it. How many people really get
Speaker 4: that opportunity in this life? Well said that, and I
Speaker 4: tell you who I got that from. Dick Bytowe once.
Speaker 3: Was doing it.
Speaker 4: Giv Yeah, he was doing a game here and I
Speaker 4: got to speak to him before a game and I said,
Speaker 4: what is it like?
Speaker 3: He said, off, submit to hers. What it's like?
Speaker 4: He said, I get to do what I like to
Speaker 4: do every day and make a lot of money doing it.
Speaker 4: And I said that just has stuck with me forever,
Speaker 4: and it couldn't come from anybody better than Dicky b
Speaker 4: No doubt.
Speaker 2: Good stuff.
Speaker 1: And look, I'm blessed beyond belief when it comes to
Speaker 1: my situation, certainly, and I try to remind myself of
Speaker 1: every day of that every day, but being reminded of
Speaker 1: it by others can certainly can certainly go a long
Speaker 1: way too. So good stuff is always. Appreciate your time,
Speaker 1: enjoy your weekend. You're gonna get out to the golf tournament.
Speaker 3: I won't be doing that. I have the grandsons.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's even better.
Speaker 4: You gonna do a little swimming and a little talking,
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna try to keep them straight.
Speaker 2: How bad good stuff sounds? Good? D White, thank you
Speaker 2: for your time.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get an update on traffic and weather,
Speaker 1: and then of course we've got sports coming you way
Speaker 1: before too long right here on news Ready eight forty WHAS.
Speaker 5: News radioh.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, John Shannon, it is seven thirty
Speaker 1: four here at Kentucky and his morning news with coffee
Speaker 1: and company on news Radio eight forty wha AS. Take
Speaker 1: us with you wherever you go. Listen live at WHAS
Speaker 1: dot com. You can also listen live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: So Prime Days is wrapping up today, and I'm not
Speaker 1: surprised that that there's been a drop in sales, but
Speaker 1: I am shocked as far as how big of a
Speaker 1: drop they have seen at Amazon thus far.
Speaker 2: So Momentum Commerce.
Speaker 1: They are a company that provides insights into retail shopping
Speaker 1: and whatnot. And when I think of Amazon, I don't
Speaker 1: think retail. But clearly they've kind of put a lot
Speaker 1: of retail out of business. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: But forty percent of a drop in sales on day
Speaker 1: one compared to last year, but they still expect overall growth.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 1: I mean, how can you make up from that? I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like that could be totally wrong here. I'm
Speaker 1: just and oftentimes I'm wrong, believe it or not. I've
Speaker 1: probably been wrong a few times so far since we
Speaker 1: started this show. But forty percent of a drop on
Speaker 1: day one, to me, that's damaging so much. I just
Speaker 1: would assume that day one would be the day where
Speaker 1: most people are taking advantage of it.
Speaker 2: But you know, maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 5: That's why I was trying to get some of the
Speaker 5: deals that were out there today just they were deals, right,
Speaker 5: They're not deals, guy, Yes, they just call them deals.
Speaker 5: I mean, they're giving me twenty eight percent off an
Speaker 5: Apple Watch series ten twenty eight percent?
Speaker 2: I mean it's still three hundred and nine dollars, and
Speaker 2: that's to.
Speaker 1: Be fair to them, even if they are offering something
Speaker 1: that is legitimately at a discounted price substantially, even they're
Speaker 1: paying the price for just what the economy is in
Speaker 1: the in the in the lack of just extra funds
Speaker 1: to spend money on for a lot of people. So
Speaker 1: I don't want to blame it all on them, as
Speaker 1: if they're the ones out here just charging too much.
Speaker 1: Everything's more expensive now, and I don't, you know, everybody's
Speaker 1: situation is different. I try to remind myself at not
Speaker 1: to live in my own bubble and only see things
Speaker 1: through the way I live in my lifestyle, but i'd
Speaker 1: be I would be shocked if there hasn't been someone
Speaker 1: that is that is, basically those that are not in
Speaker 1: the elite wealth class, which is the majority of society. Surely,
Speaker 1: I don't know how what your lifestyle could be for
Speaker 1: you not to have noticed just what the economy is now.
Speaker 1: Some are dealing with it better than others, and what's
Speaker 1: considered tough times as far as just disposable income is
Speaker 1: a different world compared to those that maybe have never
Speaker 1: had any. So again, everybody's situation is different, but I
Speaker 1: think we are now at a point where the majority
Speaker 1: of society that is within different levels financially in lifestyle,
Speaker 1: they're noticing this.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you wouldn't be able to notice this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Again, you can deal with a better depending upon your situation,
Speaker 1: but this is this is hurting a lot of folks.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you're going to put items to your point,
Speaker 5: nick on and give me an Amazon deal and make
Speaker 5: such a big deal out of prime. For example, some
Speaker 5: of what they found at Wirecutter, which is a part
Speaker 5: of the New York Times, they go, look at this stuff,
Speaker 5: seventh generation dish. So the six pack goes for twenty
Speaker 5: one dollars in the street. Amazon's given it to you
Speaker 5: for fifteen. I mean deal, Yeah, you save money? Yeah, baby,
Speaker 5: sound machine sixty four dollars Amazon deal price fifty five
Speaker 5: Not enough to get me to take out the credit
Speaker 5: card and go I'd like.
Speaker 2: To have that, yep.
Speaker 1: I'm and you're now thinking about sort of long term
Speaker 1: because we haven't seen a whole lot of relief with
Speaker 1: with this. Stay heading in the right direction to where
Speaker 1: you would be a little bit more easy to justify
Speaker 1: an expense because you're hoping that financially things will get
Speaker 1: better now. Gas prices are cheaper now, and that certainly
Speaker 1: is something a lot of people pay attention to. But
Speaker 1: just I mean anything I feel like that is something
Speaker 1: that people either rely on or something that they would
Speaker 1: typically try to get to get something for themselves. I mean, really,
Speaker 1: everything is just more expensive, and this is I think
Speaker 1: is another sign as well. But in the first day,
Speaker 1: the really popular items were school and office supplies, which
Speaker 1: tells you that the people are using the prime deals
Speaker 1: to not get something for pleasure, for enjoyment. It's school
Speaker 1: supplies for their kids. I mean, that's that's got to
Speaker 1: be a big part of what that is.
Speaker 5: So you wonder if it doesn't it make you wonder
Speaker 5: if we're not longing for the traditional Black Friday. We
Speaker 5: used to have the race to the stores and you know,
Speaker 5: getting in that mess. For some people, that was a ritual.
Speaker 5: But man, those were some deals on Black Friday.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So my wife is she's she's very much into Black Friday,
Speaker 1: has been for a long time, and I just I
Speaker 1: could never deal with the madness. And you know, she's
Speaker 1: real big on saving money and and you know, she's
Speaker 1: someone and I'm glad she's this way she handles our finances.
Speaker 1: But you know, she she doesn't waste money on a
Speaker 1: whole lot of stuff. And also she really enjoys finding
Speaker 1: bargains and finding deals, which a lot of people do, ye,
Speaker 1: but she'll got her way to find it more so
Speaker 1: than others to where she would she would really emphasize, Okay, hey,
Speaker 1: I know I got all this stuff as I'm bringing,
Speaker 1: you know, seemingly hours long worth of back and forth
Speaker 1: from the car after she gets home. I'm exaggerating, But
Speaker 1: she loads up on Black Friday and gets most of
Speaker 1: the Christmas shopping done, gets things that we know we
Speaker 1: may need. But this past Black Friday was the first
Speaker 1: ones got where she mentioned some savings. But it was
Speaker 1: a real noticeable thing that what's considered savings is not
Speaker 1: only are the deals not as great as far as
Speaker 1: what you're saving, but what's considered to be a cheaper
Speaker 1: price doesn't really look like much of a cheaper price anymore.
Speaker 5: So the question becomes, as you mentioned, you know we're
Speaker 5: seeing a drop in Prime Day sales. Does Amazon make
Speaker 5: a change heading into the next Prime Day? Do we
Speaker 5: start to see more deals to get folks like you
Speaker 5: and I to break out that wall. I mean, I've
Speaker 5: seen deals where I'm like, I don't need that right now,
Speaker 5: But that deal right there is probably never going to
Speaker 5: come along again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And also I could be wrong here.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have people that look into this and
Speaker 1: they make this decision based off of very good information.
Speaker 1: Amazon clearly knows what they're doing, but I think this
Speaker 1: thing loses a little bit of its luster when it
Speaker 1: becomes a three day thing and not a one day thing. Now,
Speaker 1: clearly you leave it open for more opportunities. So again,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, bottom line it's a better decision, but I
Speaker 1: think just the intrigue and the feeling of like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I got today's the day, Today's the day. Well, when
Speaker 1: you got three days and then you didn't buy anything
Speaker 1: day one, day two, and then you realize, yeah, I'm fine,
Speaker 1: I missed out on the first two days, and I
Speaker 1: don't have fomo, you know what I mean, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: save some money. So again, I'm sure they know what
Speaker 1: they're doing. But yeah, so far forty percent dropping sales
Speaker 1: on day one, and they still project that they'll make
Speaker 1: a lot of money and have an overall increase from
Speaker 1: last year, but we shall see. I'm going to pay
Speaker 1: attention because I'm interested to see if in fact they
Speaker 1: end up being wrong about that. But well, we will see.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get an update on traffic and weather.
Speaker 1: Bobby Ellis will tell us the latest as far as
Speaker 1: the roadways here in Kentucky, and we'll get Matt Melosa
Speaker 1: Bitch's latest forecast from WLKY, and we'll keep this thing
Speaker 1: rolling along. It is Coffee and Company Kentucky and is
Speaker 1: Morning News on News Radio eight forty whas. It is
Speaker 1: Kentucky and it's Morning News with Coffee and Company here
Speaker 1: on News Radio eight forty whas. So this story is
Speaker 1: probably one of the best things I've I've read this week,
Speaker 1: and it almost seems like something that you could that
Speaker 1: you could maybe make a move about. Maybe that's me
Speaker 1: getting dramatic and being a sucker for a good flick,
Speaker 1: but this is just awesome. So there is a non
Speaker 1: to one one hero here in Louisville whose name is
Speaker 1: Anthony Gore, and he's a Metro Safe None one one
Speaker 1: call taker and one of the calls he received recently
Speaker 1: was a frantic call from a father whose partner was
Speaker 1: in active labor and I suppose it was maybe not
Speaker 1: expected at that time, but the non one operator I
Speaker 1: was calm and gave step by step coaching that helped
Speaker 1: the father deliver the baby before paramedics arrived. So I mean,
Speaker 1: this is somebody that because you know, just their gig
Speaker 1: being a call taker, you never know what you're going
Speaker 1: to get when that phone rings, and he was able
Speaker 1: to clearly help a frantic and probably panicked soon to
Speaker 1: be father. I know if that was me, I don't
Speaker 1: care who you are, as the none to one operator,
Speaker 1: my anxiety probably would have gotten the best of me.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I would. I probably would passed out,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but he guided him through.
Speaker 2: It, and then.
Speaker 1: The baby was born and it's a beautiful thing. And
Speaker 1: he spoke to WDRB and admitted that he cried tears
Speaker 1: of joy when it happened, when he heard the cry
Speaker 1: of the newborn, knowing that, like he went, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's a heavy thing. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: it's something that you that you won't you won't forget.
Speaker 1: And I don't have any story quite like this, but
Speaker 1: if you're the mother or the father, the moment of childbirth.
Speaker 1: I think it is one you remember vividly, the sights,
Speaker 1: the sounds. I remember what I got out of the
Speaker 1: vending machine about thirty minutes before my daughter was born,
Speaker 1: and I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday,
Speaker 1: And it's just because of what that day, what that
Speaker 1: experience is, it's deeply personal.
Speaker 2: It's powerful.
Speaker 1: And this nine one one call taker, mister Gore, he
Speaker 1: will be somebody that they remember forever, and they will,
Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe they don't strike up a relationship,
Speaker 1: and maybe they don't. Not to say that they that
Speaker 1: there's an expectation that they become close forever, but I
Speaker 1: don't know how the mother and father. Probably the father
Speaker 1: more than anything, when he thinks of going back in
Speaker 1: time when his child was born, he's gonna think of
Speaker 1: this person because they I mean, it's just like the nurse.
Speaker 1: I remember vivid details about both nurses that helped my
Speaker 1: wife when she was in labor, and that's just them
Speaker 1: doing their job. But also I don't know if they
Speaker 1: realize because it becomes routine for them. It's what they
Speaker 1: do every day, multiple times a day, a lot of
Speaker 1: times that they you know, for good or bad, they're
Speaker 1: gonna leave a lasting impression. And I don't know how
Speaker 1: many people get into what they do because of that.
Speaker 1: But if you didn't know that, again, don't take it
Speaker 1: for granted. And obviously, sometimes you know, maybe things don't
Speaker 1: go smoothly and you're just doing your job. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure there are experiences between nurse and mother to be
Speaker 1: and father to be that is not great. But this
Speaker 1: is certainly a beautiful story. And I tell you what
Speaker 1: this this gentleman, mister Gore. He was previously a prosecutor
Speaker 1: and left the courtroom to serve the city in a
Speaker 1: different way. And his late father was a police officer
Speaker 1: in a courtroom bailiff, which of course inspired his son,
Speaker 1: I guess, to get in that kind of career path
Speaker 1: as far as just helping the city and helping others.
Speaker 2: So what a what an awesome story.
Speaker 1: And again, I just feel like if you are somebody
Speaker 1: that is that is in healthcare, or maybe you're a
Speaker 1: none one one operator and you've been in that situation
Speaker 1: as well, I feel like it's pretty rare.
Speaker 2: But maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: That's when you think of the impact that people who
Speaker 1: take none when one calls have and just the people
Speaker 1: in healthcare certainly people we probably at times take for granted,
Speaker 1: but they can have an impact on you that sticks
Speaker 1: with you, and it can be and it could be
Speaker 1: for great reason.
Speaker 5: So I spend some time with the folks joint. Do
Speaker 5: yourself a favor. Go hang out with the folks from Louisville, Ms.
Speaker 5: Jody Maman runs a fantastic shop. And when you talk
Speaker 5: to these people and you get to know them, you
Speaker 5: just had Dwight Mitchell line. I've gotten to know Dwight
Speaker 5: over the years when you spend some time. Obviously, police, firefighters,
Speaker 5: they all go hand in hand.
Speaker 3: That's that. We know that.
Speaker 5: But I'm talking about ems, workers, doctors, nurses, the good
Speaker 5: folks that work just across the street from us. Nick
Speaker 5: are absolutely amazing people. They are cut from a different mold.
Speaker 5: They subscribe to a different mindset than most people do.
Speaker 5: And mister gall here is exceptional because you're exactly right.
Speaker 5: He's he's got that DNA in him where he just
Speaker 5: wants to help somebody and we are so.
Speaker 2: Boll's just how he's wired. I would assume that's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: And it's a nice reminder that those people out there,
Speaker 1: they're not doing it for to become you know, rich, right,
Speaker 1: they it's it's just not how they were how they
Speaker 1: were built essentially, and certainly it makes you realize the
Speaker 1: value of what it is that you do compared to
Speaker 1: others and not on you know, MS workers now in
Speaker 1: one call takers, those people, You're right, they don't come
Speaker 1: to mind quite as much as law enforcement or fire
Speaker 1: firefighters and whatnot. However, you know, just signing up to
Speaker 1: deal with what comes with when you pick up the
Speaker 1: phone or what you show up to see when you
Speaker 1: are when you're a first responder, I mean that's that's
Speaker 1: a call it yeah, and it's and it's something that
Speaker 1: you know is heavy. Yeah, that a lot of people
Speaker 1: myself would not probably be able to deal with. I
Speaker 1: mean maybe I would, but you know, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff that you know, I realize now that I'm
Speaker 1: getting older and being exposed to other things and just
Speaker 1: you know, growing up, to be honest with just growing
Speaker 1: up has made me realize that, you know, I wasn't
Speaker 1: exposed to things that could have potentially had a negative
Speaker 1: impact on my life. And I don't think you can
Speaker 1: appreciate that until you a little bit older, but certainly
Speaker 1: appreciate those that do choose to follow these types of
Speaker 1: career paths because they're important, they're needed, and again, they
Speaker 1: don't do it to get rich, right, So good stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, We've got an update of traving the weather
Speaker 1: coming your way, and also we'll get another update on
