Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to the MERV Griffin Show. This is perfect. Hey,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the Dinah Shore Show.
Speaker 2: I think this song. The town needs this song right now.
Speaker 2: I think, Gus, that's a very good choice.
Speaker 1: Good choice, Gus.
Speaker 2: Have you had coffee since you're waking up from your
Speaker 2: nap underneath your desk?
Speaker 3: I haven't, Yeah, because I wanted something easy.
Speaker 1: You could I get you some coffee? Oh no, that's
Speaker 1: quite all right.
Speaker 2: It's some tea or Gus is hours or basically twenty
Speaker 2: four hours a day. He doesn't even have a clock
Speaker 2: or a watch because it doesn't matter. Is it four
Speaker 2: pm or four am? Doesn't matter? Is it two pm?
Speaker 2: Two am? Doesn't matter because Gus has to be at ork.
Speaker 2: So he has created a Costanza bed underneath one of
Speaker 2: the studio boards at his desk in one of the
Speaker 2: studios in the back.
Speaker 3: I'm ashamed to admit it, but yes I have.
Speaker 2: And he has become no offense. He's become like when
Speaker 2: we were kids and you're like, don't wake your dad.
Speaker 2: So you know, it's like a stands. You come home,
Speaker 2: you're like your dad snapping, do not go in that room.
Speaker 2: And he's going to be trouble.
Speaker 1: You can't see him because he's on the control board, right,
Speaker 1: And a couple of times you and I have actually
Speaker 1: walked in that studio to talk about him. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you know, we've got live cameras in here. We can't
Speaker 1: talk about him in here. And he was he heard
Speaker 1: every word, right.
Speaker 2: I think it's cute that you still have a bunny
Speaker 2: that you rub your com on your h You have
Speaker 2: a nickname for that toy, and you know, I.
Speaker 1: Don't really right, no, we should Maybe we should yeah
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that's cute and I think it
Speaker 2: calms you and that does you well, so maybe it does.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't sleep without my fluffy.
Speaker 2: He's not awake yet, so he's not he's not all.
Speaker 2: He hasn't really started to process this conversation, all right.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have the mayor in here in an hour.
Speaker 2: He's bringing Rachel. We're gonna ask some questions.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Rachel Greenberg and that other guy stopping by, right, correct,
Speaker 1: So looking forward to that, I'm not so sure I
Speaker 1: wanted to travel by airplane at all in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five until.
Speaker 2: It gets three recks in three weeks.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable not to mention air travel always sucks. In
Speaker 1: a United flight from San Francisco to Chicago had to
Speaker 1: make an unexpected stop in Denver because a passenger started
Speaker 1: acting weird. Here's what's happened. Uh. Not long after takeoff,
Speaker 1: a man kept getting up and walking to the front
Speaker 1: of the plane. He then started shouting where are the
Speaker 1: Mormons and started demanding that all Mormons identify themselves, wanting
Speaker 1: to know where they were sitting. Things got even more
Speaker 1: intense at some point he got physical and then the
Speaker 1: flight crew and other passers had to jump in and
Speaker 1: help out and restrain him. That's what caused the flight.
Speaker 1: The flight to have to make a unexpected landing in
Speaker 1: Denver so the police could take him off the flight.
Speaker 1: Besides them taking him off the flight, it did cause
Speaker 1: this flight have to sit there for hours, yeah, on
Speaker 1: the ground and tend to until continue to Chicago.
Speaker 2: Boy, meltal health issues obviously is the issue in America,
Speaker 2: not just anxiety over general for everybody. But yesterday I
Speaker 2: was pulling down Liberty Street to get on the Expressway
Speaker 2: and this older lady, she's in her robe in the
Speaker 2: middle sweatpants robe in the middle of the street. But
Speaker 2: she's just walking, right, She's walking down the middle, but
Speaker 2: she looked normally. I try to I just drive around,
Speaker 2: you know, homeless people and they're standing in the street,
Speaker 2: whether they're staring at you, and they walk straight at
Speaker 2: your car, right, And I try to just drive around,
Speaker 2: but something like I don't I don't carry cash, but
Speaker 2: something said, just grab whatever you have. So I went
Speaker 2: in the dasher got four crumpled up dollars I found
Speaker 2: rolled down the window and I got to tell you,
Speaker 2: it was really sad, like I gave it to her
Speaker 2: and she said she looked at me like a child.
Speaker 2: She must be in her sixties and she looked at
Speaker 2: me a child, and she goes, you know where my
Speaker 2: mom is, and like like a little girl, I sweart.
Speaker 2: It was like, I feel these the folks that have
Speaker 2: mental issues that cannot find their way to a shelter right,
Speaker 2: and you know, they need direction and they don't want
Speaker 2: to go in the shelter, right, So I'm like, what
Speaker 2: do you do? But man, let me tell you that
Speaker 2: was a little And that was my drive home yesterday
Speaker 2: and I was just like, that was that really cod?
Speaker 2: You no, okay, no, I said, I don't know, sweetie.
Speaker 2: When she said where's my mommy? She must have been
Speaker 2: sixty sixty five and I said, oh my, I don't know, sweete. Wow,
Speaker 2: but I drove on.
Speaker 1: Well that was depressed.
Speaker 2: Give her four dollars. But you're talking about mental issues.
Speaker 2: We're talking about your mental issues.
Speaker 1: Now I feel like walking off a building. Man? Is
Speaker 1: it your had a perfectly good morning? Going to tell
Speaker 1: you and John Auden had come in with your depress
Speaker 1: and crap. At least you got gus here. Now? Oh
Speaker 1: what is wait? Great? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3: What you can do for people like that? I direct
Speaker 3: them to Waistside Christian Mission? Right, Well, yes, I feel
Speaker 3: like I need to do something, but I don't necessarily
Speaker 3: What do you do?
Speaker 2: What to do?
Speaker 1: I always ask them for a dollar?
Speaker 2: Well here's the problem again. Most of the time I
Speaker 2: go right past. But I just give her a couple
Speaker 2: of bucks. It was four dollars, But you're right, what
Speaker 2: do you do? So a lot of times they don't
Speaker 2: want to go to the shelter. It's four degrees at night,
Speaker 2: it's raining, and they're not going to go to the shelter.
Speaker 2: Your hands are tied right, so you really can't do anything.
Speaker 3: Well if I get I feel like if I'm giving
Speaker 3: the money, they're probably going to take that for drugs
Speaker 3: or alcohol. So I don't necessarily want to do that.
Speaker 3: I try to give them some food sometimes.
Speaker 2: But food is what they need. I get.
Speaker 1: I guess I give them some sage advice.
Speaker 2: Oh that's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they like that. Yes, they're like, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: I don't have any money. If a bird in the
Speaker 1: hand is worth two in your bush, oh is it
Speaker 1: a bush? Yeah? Wow, boy, to screw that one up.
Speaker 2: And then the homeless person goes, thank you.
Speaker 1: Right, they like it. And then sometimes when we sometimes
Speaker 1: I will replace their sign for them. Here what I mean.
Speaker 1: Most of these homeless people they have like the box,
Speaker 1: like the piece a piece of a twelve pack coke,
Speaker 1: you know, a small little sign, and they scribbled on
Speaker 1: there need help money please. You barely read it. So
Speaker 1: I took a bunch of eighth graders and I gave
Speaker 1: them construction paper, Elmer's glue, and sparkles glitter, yeah, glitter,
Speaker 1: and they made all these wonderful signs that have more pizazz.
Speaker 1: And so I'll hand those out to them and go
Speaker 1: look here you go. This will get you more money
Speaker 1: for you you need more. And by the way, kind
Speaker 1: of spin it every once in a while, kick about
Speaker 1: fancy poster, fancy posters, fancy's how you help them? Elizas
Speaker 1: plate in Hong Kong has sold. I guess maybe you.
Speaker 2: Pay what is in song Kong?
Speaker 1: What a rare automobile license plate featuring just the letter
Speaker 1: S SWD for one point eight million dollars. I guess
Speaker 1: you can say, look at that S cargo the S plate.
Speaker 1: That's the first joke. I thought, that's not why. Uh.
Speaker 1: The S plate was one of forty nine tags up
Speaker 1: for bidding in the annual Lunar New Year auction held
Speaker 1: by Hong Kong's Transportation Apartment. Bidding on the tag Hong
Speaker 1: Kong fo number one super.
Speaker 2: Guy who had a bowl a chop suey.
Speaker 1: License the license plate auction on the license plate just
Speaker 1: read s started out at just six hundred dollars. Get it.
Speaker 2: What's the significance of a license plate that has just S.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you wound up selling it started. It started
Speaker 1: just six hundred wound up selling at one point eight
Speaker 1: million dollars. The sky at the price skyrocket due to
Speaker 1: the affiliation of s with DC Comics Superman character. Even
Speaker 1: though he never drive, he flies around. He didn't drive
Speaker 1: a Superman. This is my s car.
Speaker 2: Well, sometimes he doesn't feel like he's showing off all the.
Speaker 1: Time, right, And sometimes yeah, I guess you're right.
Speaker 2: You always going some like a church outing or something.
Speaker 2: Here you come landing and if you don't have your
Speaker 2: cape on, you just you look like a jerk, right right?
Speaker 2: Are you gonna wear the cape? Or because you know
Speaker 2: the wife, she's always going, are you gonna wear the cap?
Speaker 1: You wear the cape?
Speaker 2: Do you serious? This is not about you?
Speaker 1: You know that, right? What isn't odd?
Speaker 2: We're here for the kids and then you you want
Speaker 2: to wear the cape, and then it all becomes about you.
Speaker 2: And by the way, could you put on doesn't it?
Speaker 1: Could you put on some jams or some shorts? Why
Speaker 1: don't you always have this with? Never mind anyway? So, uh,
Speaker 1: they think it's because it's affiliated to Superman, which is
Speaker 1: big in Hong Kong. Another license plate that sewed for
Speaker 1: one point four to six million dollars was the license
Speaker 1: plate that just read eighty eight because eight's associated with
Speaker 1: good fortune in Hong Kong's culture.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure the Jaws license plate is still around,
Speaker 2: and I can't imagine what that's worth. The one that
Speaker 2: they pull out. When he pulls out says the Easyana
Speaker 2: seventy two, swam up from the swam up.
Speaker 1: From warmer waters, swam up from the golf. Yeah, what's
Speaker 1: that plate?
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, I don't know, I don't Are you serious?
Speaker 2: No, Richard Dryfiskiz, I feel a lot better if I
Speaker 2: could went down and cut that fish open and see
Speaker 2: what's in.
Speaker 1: It and then see if the kid is inside. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna have some half ass off tops you have
Speaker 1: performed on the dock and what's that kid?
Speaker 2: Boy spill out on the dock. So then that night
Speaker 2: they they have a glass of wine or a bottle
Speaker 2: of wine, and they go down there and he cuts
Speaker 2: it open and he throws out a piece of fish,
Speaker 2: throws out another piece of fish, and then he goes
Speaker 2: and he pulls out a license plate and it was
Speaker 2: and it was like these guys, these sharks will eat anything.
Speaker 2: And they're like, yeah, I just I thought it was
Speaker 2: a Louisiana plate seventy two. And he was like, I
Speaker 2: swam up from warmer waters, and that license plate was
Speaker 2: used again in a movie called Blue Water or Blue something.
Speaker 2: It was another blue. Oh look at you l cool
Speaker 2: deep blue. That license plate was used again. And the
Speaker 2: second I saw it, because I'm a sad, sad sack,
Speaker 2: the second I saw and I went, that's the license
Speaker 2: plate from Jaws.
Speaker 1: Well and h Robbers with a U haul busted into
Speaker 1: University Place, Washington store to help themselves to a bunch
Speaker 1: of Legos. The name of the business with sod Squatch Bricks.
Speaker 1: It's home to a lot of retired high end collectible
Speaker 1: Lego sets. The store owner says Scott Nelson, he's a
Speaker 1: good guy.
Speaker 2: Did you was your son Gus into the legos? John
Speaker 2: was yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: In fact, I've still got a bunch of that around
Speaker 3: the house.
Speaker 1: I ended up getting all them too.
Speaker 2: I was, Oh, you liked him to engineering. I get it.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. My nephew always won, even when
Speaker 1: he was like high up, like eighteen or nineteen, always
Speaker 1: one of these Lego sets for Christmas and stuff, Chip

Speaker 2: By the way, Jeff Tokey's on his way with ding.
Speaker 1: Dongs Jeff Toki's ding dong. So yes.
Speaker 2: So when John was John obviously aerospace engineering, he was
Speaker 2: into legos and his cousin was is an electrical engineer.
Speaker 2: Uh went to speech school. But they used to sit
Speaker 2: down together, even though they were twenty years apart, and
Speaker 2: build legos and they're like, yeah, they're engineering kids, that's
Speaker 2: what they do.
Speaker 3: I was not interested a mess of legos or do
Speaker 3: you have to buy something that it builds because I
Speaker 3: couldn't find it anymore. Used to I just had a
Speaker 3: bunch of them, and.
Speaker 2: Well it started to no, that was what we grew up,
Speaker 2: and then they just started to design specifically. They used
Speaker 2: to just sell you legos and then you're right, we
Speaker 2: built a boat or whatever. But now they have all
Speaker 2: and guess what there's to this story. They're so expensive.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you buy the thousand piece death Star
Speaker 2: Star Wars, it's three hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: My buddy Jason Johnson and his son wanted to thank
Speaker 1: me for something, and you were there when they brought
Speaker 1: out to me. They're into legos, and they saw that
Speaker 1: they brought me a rolling stones tongue.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I dropped it.
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna tell Jason then do you drop?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, shattered in every piece guy.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so gigantic rolling stones, tongue made out. We just
Speaker 1: had like a box.
Speaker 2: He wasn't by accident.
Speaker 1: Liz had a purpose. What what what?
Speaker 2: I didn't say anything.
Speaker 1: We had just a box that have different ones in there.
Speaker 1: The only thing I could ever make was a stick.
Speaker 1: I would just put a bunch of them together and go, look, Papa,
Speaker 1: it's a thick anyway. Scott Nellison believes that the robbers
Speaker 1: had been in the store before because it's a real course.
Speaker 1: They cased it. That's a real smash and grabs all you.
Speaker 2: Guys case in the place.
Speaker 1: Took less than five minutes. The thieves were making able
Speaker 1: to make off with ten thousand dollars worth of Lego
Speaker 1: collectible sets. Ten grand.
Speaker 2: Oh that's easy. I'll get ten grand pretty pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Some of these are like one hundred bucks, two
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, three hundred bucks.

Speaker 2: going to answer the question of whether cats can get
Speaker 2: dog blood and can dogs get cat blood. This is

Speaker 1: forty whas Pete Townsend give blood. It was ready to
Speaker 1: eight forty whs. Dwight Whitting Adam Arrington, John Tony Venetti
Speaker 1: is uh, I'm in the bathroom. Come in my head
Speaker 1: with my very special head bus. I would be with
Speaker 1: you momentarily. Want to have Adam Arrington in because you're
Speaker 1: with Jefferson Animal Hospital been around forty five years? How
Speaker 1: about that man? Huh?
Speaker 4: Now a long time longer forty five years up in
Speaker 4: twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: In and one thing I just found out and listen,
Speaker 1: Maddy won't grasp this concept. But people my age will
Speaker 1: used to be when everyone know what the time and
Speaker 1: temperature was and you couldn't wait around for you know
Speaker 1: whoever on the news At six, you pick up the
Speaker 1: phone and I still remember this number. Watch this five
Speaker 1: eight five five nine six one. I didn't realize that number.
Speaker 1: Not only is it still in working order, but you
Speaker 1: all own that phone number and you keep it in
Speaker 1: business and it still works, right, we do.
Speaker 4: And that was a marketing item that we were able
Speaker 4: to that the company was able to purchase back in
Speaker 4: the nineties, back in whasr weatherline and the time and
Speaker 4: temperature line, And to this day it gets. You wouldn't
Speaker 4: believe how many calls it still gets.
Speaker 1: I mean, are you serious?
Speaker 4: Monthly? Thousands of calls? I mean, and back in the
Speaker 4: day it was much more than that.
Speaker 1: And I still remember the number, but I mean verbatim
Speaker 1: because you would have to call it, what's the weather
Speaker 1: would be like? And it would tell you it tell
Speaker 1: you what it's like outside. But I want to talk
Speaker 1: about Jefferson Animal Hospital two locations. By the way, forty
Speaker 1: five years you've been in business. But it's not just
Speaker 1: about providing immaculate service, but also your staff. You take
Speaker 1: really well good care of your staff. I was over
Speaker 1: there visiting one of the new facilities with my friend
Speaker 1: Maddie and went out back and I said, well, what's
Speaker 1: that and what's that? And it's two houses, two really
Speaker 1: nice houses that you all purchase just for staff. How
Speaker 1: does that work out? Talk about how you take care
Speaker 1: of the staff, because it's quite it's quite incredible when
Speaker 1: you see two homes and they were purchased just for
Speaker 1: the staff.
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, and we have you know, we've grown and
Speaker 4: really you know, we've got staff that work from all over.
Speaker 4: We have ninety staff over ninety staff, right, and they
Speaker 4: come from all over and you know, twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: Having grown up there, you almost kind of live there.
Speaker 4: But we have a couple of houses and we have
Speaker 4: staff that come in from all over. They come in
Speaker 4: from Indiana, sometimes from Tennessee. They'll work three or four
Speaker 4: shifts and then they'll go back home. So we have
Speaker 4: some accommodations because it's all about really it's the health
Speaker 4: of the animals starts with the staff, right, right, and
Speaker 4: we need to make sure that number one, you know,
Speaker 4: my job essentially as a general manager and president. How
Speaker 4: do we get the staff whatever they want, whatever they
Speaker 4: need to be successful at their job and also to
Speaker 4: have a good work life balance right to be able
Speaker 4: to have accommodations and do different things. So it's we
Speaker 4: really have a nice setup over there that's on our
Speaker 4: main area on outer Loop, on our main hospital. It's
Speaker 4: kind of like a little mini campus there, but we
Speaker 4: try to make it as comfortable as possible for all
Speaker 4: of our staff.
Speaker 1: Adam Ericton's our guest with Jefferson Annamal Hospital. And I
Speaker 1: find it amazing that your mom with Jefferson Animal Hospital,
Speaker 1: the tenth largest woman owned business in Louisville. And I
Speaker 1: bet she never retires. She's great at her job. Never
Speaker 1: you don't think she will, she will.
Speaker 4: Know, and she's so passionate and she's incredible. And she's
Speaker 4: our main medical director. Within our ninety staff, we have
Speaker 4: fourteen doctors, oh my gosh. And you know, they are
Speaker 4: just unbelievably talented. They're solving emergencies in real time, okay,
Speaker 4: and so do our staff, our technicians and our nurses.
Speaker 4: And they're not only doing that, they're managing that. And
Speaker 4: then they're managing a lot of emotion, right, Sometimes that's
Speaker 4: comes in and it can be a not good scenario,
Speaker 4: you know sometimes, And so they're managing all of these
Speaker 4: things and then how they do it. I have no
Speaker 4: idea the ability for most of our staff to be
Speaker 4: able to compartmentalize see some of the things they see,
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, what comes in here. With an emergency center,
Speaker 4: we see emergencies from all over the state anything you
Speaker 4: can think of. Now you have stuff like vomiting and stuff,
Speaker 4: but you have some major stuff that is kind of
Speaker 4: messy and isn't so great. And so they manage it,
Speaker 4: and you know, we need to make sure that they
Speaker 4: have everything they need to be able to do what
Speaker 4: they need to do to take care of the pet
Speaker 4: in any given situation.
Speaker 1: Jeffson Animal Hospital open twenty four hours and have been
Speaker 1: there for emergencies for forty five years now. It's still
Speaker 1: going strong and expanding. Do you think that a lot
Speaker 1: of people view Jefferson Animal Hospital as just an emergency
Speaker 1: situation because it's I don't know of another veterinarian At
Speaker 1: two o'clock in the morning, an accident happens where you
Speaker 1: can go directly there, but you can also just get
Speaker 1: generous general wellness visits. For example, if I work third
Speaker 1: shift and I want to go at three o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning, you could schedule an appointment for your shot
Speaker 1: at your vaccine or can you can you you can,
Speaker 1: you can.
Speaker 4: That's what's so great. We're open for emergency and we're
Speaker 4: open for appointments and wellness. And that's what basically how
Speaker 4: everything got started is we open in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 4: Basically GE had already been here. You had Ford International
Speaker 4: Harvester YEP, and it was essentially Louisville was becoming a
Speaker 4: twenty four hour time right, yeah, look back, right, and
Speaker 4: then you had Ford come in different things. And so
Speaker 4: in the early eighties since we opened twenty four hours,
Speaker 4: I remember growing up there in the middle of the night,
Speaker 4: there'd be people with their uniforms, GE and different things
Speaker 4: coming in for their appointments. And so we offer that
Speaker 4: it's incredible you have emergency doctors who are also seeing wellness.
Speaker 4: Now it does get a little tricky. I mean you
Speaker 4: can get three emergencies that come in fifteen minutes and
Speaker 4: you're trying to see wellness, and so sometimes you know
Speaker 4: it can be different. I wait, times for a sure
Speaker 4: outpatient center, right, but we do offer wellness.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: You can absolutely make an appointment any time and come in.
Speaker 4: And we have clients that have been with us for
Speaker 4: decades and they they come in in the evening or
Speaker 4: the different hours and it's very positive for them.
Speaker 1: Unless you're in your industry, there's certain things you would
Speaker 1: never think of. For example, I've been talking about your
Speaker 1: all's blood bank and it never dawned on me. In
Speaker 1: these emergency situations, not just for you all, but for
Speaker 1: other veterinarians all across the state. Blood's needed when you
Speaker 1: perform surgeries. How long has the blood bank been going
Speaker 1: and what made you all come up with that idea?
Speaker 1: Because I find it fascinating that people can bring their
Speaker 1: pets in to save four to six other pets lives
Speaker 1: with the donation.
Speaker 4: It's incredible. And you know, we're an emergency center, and
Speaker 4: so as a result of that, we have cases that
Speaker 4: receive a lot of that experience a lot of blood loss.
Speaker 4: And this basically was born out of necessity. About eleven
Speaker 4: years ago. We were shipping it in from out of state,
Speaker 4: primarily California. We had to deal with different kind of
Speaker 4: shortages and stuff like that. So we said, we're going
Speaker 4: to do this in house. Our staff we had we
Speaker 4: have such smart intelligence staff, and they brought us this
Speaker 4: you know plan, and we implemented it. And now we
Speaker 4: have basically as much blood as we need in house
Speaker 4: on site for the emergencies, which is the goal. Anything extra.
Speaker 4: We actually are able to distribute nationally. We distribute to
Speaker 4: national We disturbed over thirteen thirteen states, including some University
Speaker 4: of Cornell. Yeah, distributed up to their medical program. So
