In 49 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.360 a United flight from San Francisco to Chicago had to 50 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:21.280 make an unexpected stop in Denver because a passenger started 51 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.919 acting weird. Here's what's happened. Uh. Not long after takeoff, 52 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.120 a man kept getting up and walking to the front 53 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.039 of the plane. He then started shouting where are the 54 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:37.639 Mormons and started demanding that all Mormons identify themselves, wanting 55 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.000 to know where they were sitting. Things got even more 56 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.800 intense at some point he got physical and then the 57 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.159 flight crew and other passers had to jump in and 58 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.280 help out and restrain him. That's what caused the flight. 59 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.439 The flight to have to make a unexpected landing in 60 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:56.199 Denver so the police could take him off the flight. 61 00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.280 Besides them taking him off the flight, it did cause 62 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.599 this flight have to sit there for hours, yeah, on 63 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.120 the ground and tend to until continue to Chicago. 64 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.560 Boy, meltal health issues obviously is the issue in America, 65 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.080 not just anxiety over general for everybody. But yesterday I 66 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.360 was pulling down Liberty Street to get on the Expressway 67 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.280 and this older lady, she's in her robe in the 68 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.479 middle sweatpants robe in the middle of the street. But 69 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.719 she's just walking, right, She's walking down the middle, but 70 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.840 she looked normally.

But you're talking about mental issues. 96 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.600 We're talking about your mental issues. 97 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:43.160 Now I feel like walking off a building. Man?

I direct 104 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.680 them to Waistside Christian Mission? Right, Well, yes, I feel 105 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.399 like I need to do something, but I don't necessarily 106 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:01.800 What do you do? 107 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:02.319 What to do? 108 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:03.879 I always ask them for a dollar? 109 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.480 Well here's the problem again. Most of the time I 110 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.480 go right past. But I just give her a couple 111 00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.519 of bucks. It was four dollars, But you're right, what 112 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.240 do you do? So a lot of times they don't 113 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.720 want to go to the shelter. It's four degrees at night, 114 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.560 it's raining, and they're not going to go to the shelter. 115 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.639 Your hands are tied right, so you really can't do anything. 116 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.399 Well if I get I feel like if I'm giving 117 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.800 the money, they're probably going to take that for drugs 118 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.000 or alcohol. So I don't necessarily want to do that. 119 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.439 I try to give them some food sometimes. 120 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.120 But food is what they need. I get. 121 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.439 I guess I give them some sage advice. 122 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:36.879 Oh that's good. 123 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.439 Yeah, they like that.

Wow, boy, to screw that one up. 127 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:49.959 And then the homeless person goes, thank you. 128 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.240 Right, they like it. And then sometimes when we sometimes 129 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.600 I will replace their sign for them. Here what I mean. 130 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.800 Most of these homeless people they have like the box, 131 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.079 like the piece a piece of a twelve pack coke, 132 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.639 you know, a small little sign, and they scribbled on 133 00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:12.480 there need help money please. You barely read it. So 134 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.519 I took a bunch of eighth graders and I gave 135 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:21.160 them construction paper, Elmer's glue, and sparkles glitter, yeah, glitter, 136 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.639 and they made all these wonderful signs that have more pizazz. 137 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.879 And so I'll hand those out to them and go 138 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.279 look here you go.

It started 157 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.600 just six hundred wound up selling at one point eight 158 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.000 million dollars. The sky at the price skyrocket due to 159 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:49.399 the affiliation of s with DC Comics Superman character. Even 160 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.040 though he never drive, he flies around. He didn't drive 161 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:54.279 a Superman.

This is not about you? 171 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.120 You know that, right? What isn't odd? 172 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.079 We're here for the kids and then you you want 173 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:20.959 to wear the cape, and then it all becomes about you. 174 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:22.839 And by the way, could you put on doesn't it? 175 00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:28.639 Could you put on some jams or some shorts? Why 176 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.439 don't you always have this with? Never mind anyway? So, uh, 177 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.039 they think it's because it's affiliated to Superman, which is 178 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.639 big in Hong Kong. Another license plate that sewed for 179 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.080 one point four to six million dollars was the license 180 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.879 plate that just read eighty eight because eight's associated with 181 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.919 good fortune in Hong Kong's culture. 182 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.320 I'm pretty sure the Jaws license plate is still around, 183 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.360 and I can't imagine what that's worth.

By the way, forty 344 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.759 five years you've been in business. But it's not just 345 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:42.600 about providing immaculate service, but also your staff. You take 346 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:44.639 really well good care of your staff. I was over 347 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.679 there visiting one of the new facilities with my friend 348 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.440 Maddie and went out back and I said, well, what's 349 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:54.679 that and what's that? And it's two houses, two really 350 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.799 nice houses that you all purchase just for staff. How 351 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:00.919 does that work out? Talk about how you take care 352 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.720 of the staff, because it's quite it's quite incredible when 353 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.640 you see two homes and they were purchased just for 354 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:07.240 the staff. 355 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.480 Sure, sure, and we have you know, we've grown and 356 00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.519 really you know, we've got staff that work from all over. 357 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.720 We have ninety staff over ninety staff, right, and they 358 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.279 come from all over and you know, twenty four hours. 359 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.279 Having grown up there, you almost kind of live there. 360 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.400 But we have a couple of houses and we have 361 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.079 staff that come in from all over. They come in 362 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.200 from Indiana, sometimes from Tennessee. They'll work three or four 363 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:30.359 shifts and then they'll go back home. So we have 364 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.759 some accommodations because it's all about really it's the health 365 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.000 of the animals starts with the staff, right, right, and 366 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.839 we need to make sure that number one, you know, 367 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:43.200 my job essentially as a general manager and president. How 368 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:45.000 do we get the staff whatever they want, whatever they 369 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.079 need to be successful at their job and also to 370 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.400 have a good work life balance right to be able 371 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:55.119 to have accommodations and do different things. So it's we 372 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.200 really have a nice setup over there that's on our 373 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.640 main area on outer Loop, on our main hospital. It's 374 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.599 kind of like a little mini campus there, but we 375 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.400 try to make it as comfortable as possible for all 376 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:05.000 of our staff. 377 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:09.319 Adam Ericton's our guest with Jefferson Annamal Hospital. And I 378 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:15.640 find it amazing that your mom with Jefferson Animal Hospital, 379 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:20.400 the tenth largest woman owned business in Louisville. And I 380 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.599 bet she never retires. She's great at her job. Never 381 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:25.240 you don't think she will, she will. 382 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:29.160 Know, and she's so passionate and she's incredible. And she's 383 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.799 our main medical director. Within our ninety staff, we have 384 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:36.960 fourteen doctors, oh my gosh. And you know, they are 385 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:43.000 just unbelievably talented. They're solving emergencies in real time, okay, 386 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.319 and so do our staff, our technicians and our nurses. 387 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.319 And they're not only doing that, they're managing that. And 388 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:52.960 then they're managing a lot of emotion, right, Sometimes that's 389 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.400 comes in and it can be a not good scenario, 390 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.279 you know sometimes, And so they're managing all of these 391 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:00.039 things and then how they do it. I have no 392 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:03.400 idea the ability for most of our staff to be 393 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:05.640 able to compartmentalize see some of the things they see, 394 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:07.640 Oh my gosh, what comes in here. With an emergency center, 395 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.319 we see emergencies from all over the state anything you 396 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.839 can think of. Now you have stuff like vomiting and stuff, 397 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.079 but you have some major stuff that is kind of 398 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.759 messy and isn't so great. And so they manage it, 399 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:20.799 and you know, we need to make sure that they 400 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.200 have everything they need to be able to do what 401 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:26.000
