Speaker 2: He addressing on the show. Somebody, here's Kelly Jones. I'm

Speaker 3: That's beautiful points.
Speaker 1: Well take you.
Speaker 3: You're a dirt dummy.
Speaker 1: I am a dirt gd.
Speaker 3: You you get the joke. The joke was dragons, dungeons
Speaker 3: and dragons. I needed a d scool. I had the
Speaker 3: Sales Dungeons.
Speaker 1: I think I got it. That's the whole point. He
Speaker 1: got it, I got it all I did.
Speaker 3: So Yeah, but.
Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of good during demons still
Speaker 5: out here. We don't get much air time.
Speaker 4: But I like to by the way, we brought it
Speaker 4: up because to say, the biggest game in the South
Speaker 4: End this weekend is Friday Night to Sales versus Dolls.
Speaker 4: The winner will win District three before they head into
Speaker 4: the playoffs. So good Dolls six and two dolls. They
Speaker 4: don't normally have a good football team, but this year
Speaker 4: they do, and the Sales obviously always good.
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm gonna bust him out. He's to
Speaker 2: my left. Hang on, let me get out of swinging this.
Speaker 4: He's too, your right, No, which when you start left? Okay,
Speaker 4: you're still going after this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hates it when people talk about him. He
Speaker 2: was I found out one time Kelly was a Pittsburgh Pirate.
Speaker 4: You played baseball for the Pirates. He's not going to
Speaker 4: say anything. Yeah, he's gonna say, we're here to talk
Speaker 4: about Metro.
Speaker 5: I'm still thinking about the Dungeons or whatever. I can't
Speaker 5: get out of high school and you got me going
Speaker 5: somewhere else.
Speaker 3: We don't have that kind of time to discuss. There's
Speaker 3: some truth to.
Speaker 5: Be in that organizment, right, but we don't have time.
Speaker 3: Okay, we won't. We won't do it. Well, it takes
Speaker 3: a while, so I have to explain. It's a different show.
Speaker 4: Dwight has a knack for being making things awkward. All right,
Speaker 4: all right, so, uh, why are you here?
Speaker 8: Always talk about our people? You know they a great
Speaker 8: job over there at Metro Safe and we're always hiring.
Speaker 4: So yes, absolutely, we got an opportunity this past Derby
Speaker 4: or Thunder to take a tour. What a cool room,
Speaker 4: you guys, It's like ciuh, you know, Mission Impossible room.
Speaker 4: It's kind of cool. Explain what that? What jobs you have? Opened.
Speaker 8: So we've got call takers and dispatchers in the Metro
Speaker 8: Safe room. Obviously we've got emergency medical technicians and paramedics.
Speaker 8: But we're in a good spot. We're going to do
Speaker 8: a big class coming up in the winter time. But
Speaker 8: we're always hiring dispatchers and call takers. You know, they're
Speaker 8: a talented group. People don't get to see them, but
Speaker 8: they're always that first line of defense.
Speaker 3: Can you talk salaries or not? Can you? Yeah?
Speaker 8: So they're going to they start out just over twenty
Speaker 8: two dollars an hour. They spend six weeks in training,
Speaker 8: and then when they go upstairs, depending on whether they're
Speaker 8: a call taker a dispatcher, they're either go to twenty
Speaker 8: four or just over twenty seven dollars an hour.
Speaker 3: Damn.
Speaker 4: So yeah, uh train them and these are the people
Speaker 4: that answer the phone from nine to one one.
Speaker 8: They're the ones that answer the phones and they're also
Speaker 8: the ones that dispatch the public safety people at one.
Speaker 4: Is the training intense because I'm thinking of you have
Speaker 4: to be able to handle every phone call to where
Speaker 4: you how the order of questions that the dispatcher is
Speaker 4: doing to the person that is calling. It has to
Speaker 4: be pretty succynct uh in two.
Speaker 1: Order, right, like, where are you?
Speaker 4: What is happening? Tell me what's happening?
Speaker 1: Write script? You know that they go by.
Speaker 8: But you know, Kelly and I have talked about this
Speaker 8: for a long time and both of us have been
Speaker 8: in public safety over thirty years and to not be
Speaker 8: able to see what is going on and just have
Speaker 8: to you know, use your your sense of hearing. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you know, it's it's amazing the job that they do
Speaker 8: in there.
Speaker 4: Is there any I'm starting to get in some creepy
Speaker 4: stuff here, but is there any times that the dispatcher,
Speaker 4: the person can't speak that have called nine one one?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: We have language lines that they can put them in
Speaker 8: touch with where we can actually communicate with them. It's
Speaker 8: got over eighty languages in it, so we can automatically
Speaker 8: tie into that. They pick up, they figure out what
Speaker 8: the people saying, and we can send them the help
Speaker 8: that they need.
Speaker 3: Isn't it true that you all.
Speaker 2: Hired Tony Vinetti in twenty twenty two and then you
Speaker 2: fired him because he kept his phone on silent?
Speaker 3: He said, well, how can I ask you? Oh?
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's a fascinating job. Twenty two dollars
Speaker 4: an hour.
Speaker 1: I'll take it, iven, We'll take them right out high school.
Speaker 4: We'll take it right out of high school. And I
Speaker 4: think to me, that is a pretty cool. If you
Speaker 4: want a boring job, go do something else. This is
Speaker 4: not boring at all. Nice and you're saving people's lives
Speaker 4: at some point, right.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've got a tree of life.
Speaker 8: I think we showed it to you guys when you
Speaker 8: were over there where you know, we're delivering babies over
Speaker 8: the phone. We're giving CPR instructions over the phone. So
Speaker 8: people call on their worst day, and it's our people
Speaker 8: that are the first, you know, the first line to
Speaker 8: help them get some help that they need.
Speaker 3: What are some of the dumb calls you here?
Speaker 2: Like, you know, hey, the McDonald screwed up my order
Speaker 2: and they didn't give me the catch up.
Speaker 1: That's actually true, We did it.
Speaker 5: Really, We actually did get those kind of phone call common.
Speaker 5: It's not real common, but we get it. But I
Speaker 5: want to jump onto something. Jody's saying, this is true,
Speaker 5: and folks who've heard us talk before know our years
Speaker 5: of public services.
Speaker 1: This is true.
Speaker 5: Story nineteen eighty nine. I'm riding the beat down East
Speaker 5: Downtown as a freshman. Yeah, Jody's a freshman or probably
Speaker 5: just born. A ten thirty call is any cop er
Speaker 5: most people know list than.
Speaker 1: His officer in trouble?
Speaker 3: Yeah help. I only caught it.
Speaker 5: Once in my lifetime. In nineteen eighty nine. I was
Speaker 5: getting out numbered and I was about to lose control
Speaker 5: of the situation and it was going to be very
Speaker 5: bad for me. I can remember being in the fight
Speaker 5: reaching for the radio and I said to fifty three,
Speaker 5: I'm in trouble, and the radio fell across the other
Speaker 5: side of the car hood in about thirty seconds. That
Speaker 5: was in the day when you could hear the engines
Speaker 5: roar when they were on the way to help you.
Speaker 5: In about thirty seconds. I had plenty of help. To
Speaker 5: this day, I remember the name of the lady who
Speaker 5: dispatched that night, who heard me yell for help and
Speaker 5: took that call and literally saved my life. Those are
Speaker 5: the things that you get to do when you work
Speaker 5: with us, And no two days are ever like, no
Speaker 5: two calls are ever like. One day we were in
Speaker 5: there and there were two call takers together. One's given
Speaker 5: instructions to a lady who had found her husband Blue
Speaker 5: in the living room floor, and right beside her is
Speaker 5: a guy trying to soothe a family who's just found
Speaker 5: their child shot. And they're right beside each other. And
Speaker 5: those are the unfortunate times. But it also lets you
Speaker 5: in the window. I believe that people. You know, if
Speaker 5: you believe in God and you talk to God, then
Speaker 5: he's your lifeline for public safety. And the citizens who
Speaker 5: call these are their lifelines. They call there because they
Speaker 5: need help. They call on the radio because they need service,
Speaker 5: They need assistance. We need to get somewhere, we need information.
Speaker 5: No one else in the entire city of Louisville gets
Speaker 5: to do these jobs. No one And to the JODI's
Speaker 5: point about the salaries being great, you can work a
Speaker 5: lot in those jobs, and you can make good money
Speaker 5: in those jobs.
Speaker 2: I rarely, I rarely talk serious when I'm with Kelly Jones.
Speaker 2: He's the We're goofing on each other. A serious question. Though,
Speaker 2: you love your job, don't you? Because I've talked to
Speaker 2: you so many times in your I said why I
Speaker 2: just retire with you?
Speaker 3: Love your job, don't you? We both do.
Speaker 9: And I don't care much for Jody. That's why I'm
Speaker 9: addressing you know, but he's a lot younger than me.
Speaker 9: But fifty Saturday, I do. And here's the thing. I
Speaker 9: was very fortunate.
Speaker 5: My mother influenced my decision to join the police department
Speaker 5: by being her guardian and her protector. And there's always
Speaker 5: something noble about wanting to be the good guy that
Speaker 5: showed up, and the career was phenomenal. Jody will tell
Speaker 5: you the same thing about being in the fire service.
Speaker 5: And I tell Jody now when he walks too fast
Speaker 5: down for the street for me, I say, would just
Speaker 5: slow down for a minute, And I say, you're paying
Speaker 5: me for my mind, not my body the day, and
Speaker 5: so that's what I believe, and I have been.
Speaker 3: Asked that question.
Speaker 5: I was asked that question by a financial advisor, my
Speaker 5: cousin Jim, who may be listening today, and he said,
Speaker 5: why are you still working? Said because I love it
Speaker 5: and I'm not tired. And the day that I don't
Speaker 5: think that I could help the people that work with
Speaker 5: Jody and I or help my citizens is the day
Speaker 5: I'll walkome. Amen. I'm getting older. I'm ten about ten
Speaker 5: years older than Jody. But the day I don't think
Speaker 5: I can contribute as the day I'm gonna go. Amen.
Speaker 1: Hey, you guys mentioned that you can come out of
Speaker 1: high school. Let me throw some numbers out there. So
Speaker 1: twenty seven dollars an hour right out of high school
Speaker 1: is a fifty six, one hundred and sixty dollars job
Speaker 1: over four years. If you don't get any raises, but
Speaker 1: you will or overtime base, you would make two hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty four thousand, six hundred and forty dollars, own
Speaker 1: your own home, or get out of college four years
Speaker 1: from now with one hundred thousand dollars a day. Go
Speaker 1: what are the.
Speaker 8: Training And like Kelly said, there's there's a you know,
Speaker 8: there's an opportunity for overtime as well. So you know
Speaker 8: what you said is the base is not what they're
Speaker 8: gonna make. They're gonna make much more depending on how
Speaker 8: much they want to work.
Speaker 4: His story about he remembers the dispatcher in your comment
Speaker 4: that these are this is their worst day. That hits
Speaker 4: me pretty hard because it is their work. Some days,
Speaker 4: sometimes that call is the worst day of their life.
Speaker 4: Their husband is dying, or their child has been shot
Speaker 4: or whatever, or there's been an accident and people are
Speaker 4: injured on the side of the Expressway. Whatever it is,
Speaker 4: that's their worst day, and that's that could be your Tuesday.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it could be anything. And even you know the
Speaker 8: ones you talk about that you know that seemed goofy.
Speaker 8: You know, a squirrel in somebody's house, that's still an
Speaker 8: emergency to somebody. Yeah, so you know, they still don't
Speaker 8: know who to call, so they call nine one one,
Speaker 8: you know, and our people are there to take those calls.
Speaker 2: I think it's fascinating all the way back to nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty nine. Kelly Jones still remembers the dispatcher that actually
Speaker 2: saved his life from this name, and it reminds me,
Speaker 2: you know, because you never know who's going to save
Speaker 2: your life, like Tony when you were choking on Italian
Speaker 2: sausage and then that firefighter.
Speaker 1: What was his name?
Speaker 3: God? Yeah, what was that firefighter's name that he saved
Speaker 3: your life.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about advance well, nom from dispatching. Where can
Speaker 4: you go from dispatching? Like if you want to do
Speaker 4: that for a couple of years, what where can I
Speaker 4: can I be a cop from there? Or what? What
Speaker 4: is what's the where's the advancement past the dispatcher? Or
Speaker 4: do most people stay in dispatch.
Speaker 8: You know a lot of people stay in dispatch. We
Speaker 8: do have some people that that choose. You know, once
Speaker 8: they get in there and they see other public safety
Speaker 8: agencies and they get to talk to them on the
Speaker 8: radio or they get to take calls for them, they
Speaker 8: may want to pursue a career like that. They may
Speaker 8: want to go to police fire ms. But you know,
Speaker 8: we've got you can go from a call taker to
Speaker 8: a dispatcher. Dispatchers can also work as call takers. But
Speaker 8: we also have other opportunities training advancements. We've got some
Speaker 8: computer aided dispatch technician advancements through the agency, So there
Speaker 8: is some opportunities for advancement.
Speaker 2: I love the inside lingo in certain careers and like
Speaker 2: one is your aws. Like for example, we did a
Speaker 2: show at the NFL combin one time, and the things
Speaker 2: we heard during that show was get you some, get
Speaker 2: you some.
Speaker 3: And then we did a show with the army and
Speaker 3: hurt oohrah a lot.
Speaker 2: I noticed when we were at the little Metro safety
Speaker 2: all say don't touch.
Speaker 3: That a lot. Yeah that was just where did that
Speaker 3: come from?
Speaker 1: It was just us?
Speaker 3: But I think.
Speaker 1: They don't.
Speaker 4: I think it would be So let's look at the
Speaker 4: new generation, Like we grew up always outside. We were
Speaker 4: always outside. There was nothing indoors for us. You only
Speaker 4: watch television at night. You were just you were always outside.
Speaker 4: But now if you look at people the way they
Speaker 4: grow up, there are force they have four screens in
Speaker 4: front of them, and they have a headset on because
Speaker 4: they're playing video games or are there gamers or whatever.
Speaker 4: This would be a perfect transition. If that is your
Speaker 4: son or your daughter that's at home all the time.
Speaker 4: And we know so many people that have daughters and
Speaker 4: sons like that that if they're not into a lot
Speaker 4: of crowds and they don't like being outside with people,
Speaker 4: and they want to be in a room where they're
Speaker 4: making a difference and have a great job. Four screens
Speaker 4: are in front of you, you got the headset.
Speaker 3: That I don't want to get people to get in
Speaker 3: the weeds.
Speaker 2: Just for a second on that, because you were talking
Speaker 2: about when you all were taking calls way back when
Speaker 2: or whatnot, you would have.
Speaker 3: To imagine your mind what's going on.
Speaker 2: I guess there's instances now there's cameras all around the city.
Speaker 2: I've been in that room. Yeah, I mean it's it's incredible.
Speaker 2: You can see everywhere in the city. I imagine there's
Speaker 2: a lot of times, probably more times than not, when
Speaker 2: you're witnessing a crime and you're on the phone and
Speaker 2: you're watching what's going on.
Speaker 3: Does that Does that happen quite a bit?
Speaker 8: There is and there's also technology. You know, we're moving
Speaker 8: towards technology where people can actually broadcast what's on their
Speaker 8: phone through the dispatch center to the people.
Speaker 1: That they're responding. Wow, that's awesome.
Speaker 8: You know, it's it's a technology that's you know, that's
Speaker 8: it's in a couple of cities across the country.
Speaker 1: But you know, we're really looking at it hard.
Speaker 4: All right, last question, last question, and again we're recruiting
Speaker 4: here for dispatcher. We're recruiting here. Has anybody ever taken
Speaker 4: a call by of their family member? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, great, Oh yeah, they have They have done that.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, Wow, I've made a couple on behalf
Speaker 5: of my mom or a family really right? Yeah, mom
Speaker 5: got a little older, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 4: Man, Okay, how do they get a hold of you?
Speaker 4: How do we get this job?
Speaker 2: If you want to apply nine one one, No, don't
Speaker 2: don't do that.
Speaker 8: Go to louisvill ky dot Gov Louisville k job shadows too,

Speaker 2: Oh okay, so they're go sit in while we do
Speaker 2: this day in History where we recount some of the
Speaker 2: more spectacular things that happened in history. Fellas it was
Speaker 2: today Ober twenty third, nineteen fifteen, when twenty five thousand
Speaker 2: women marched in New York City demanding the right to vote.
Speaker 1: Who did the laundry?
Speaker 2: Well, the story has it that they drove themselves to
Speaker 2: New York City and ninety percent of the cars had
Speaker 2: their blinkers on the entire.
Speaker 1: Time, at least they tried to use them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was today, in nineteen thirty that Ca Scott
Speaker 2: won the very first miniature golf tournament. It was held
Speaker 2: in Chattanooga, Tennessee. What year, nineteen thirty. This is a
Speaker 2: good story and I always like to look up the
Speaker 2: I always like.
Speaker 3: To adjust it for a fla inflation. It was today.
Speaker 2: In nineteen thirty three, John Dillinger robbed the Central National
Speaker 2: Bank in Greencastle, Indiana.
Speaker 1: People were rooting for these folks back in the day, Oh.
Speaker 2: Bonnie and Clyde John Dillinger. He got away with seventy five,
Speaker 2: three hundred and forty six dollars, the biggest haul of
Speaker 2: John Dillinger's career. So I adjusted that to inflation. What
Speaker 2: do you figure that was worth?
Speaker 1: Oh about a half a million, eighteen million, three hundred.
Speaker 1: That can't be right? Was the depression.
Speaker 2: I double checked it because I thought they can't be right.
Speaker 2: I double checked it, and Kelly Jones gonna fact check me? Now,
Speaker 2: all right, that seems a little high. No, it did
Speaker 2: seem a little high. But I ran through the inflation
Speaker 2: calculator twice.
Speaker 3: We'll get it. We'll get the exact amount. Here a minute. Today.
Speaker 2: In nineteen fifty six, NBC broadcast the first magnetic tape
Speaker 2: videotape recording. It was of Jonathan Winners and it was
Speaker 2: sent from coast to coast. Kelly Jones, is time to
Speaker 2: fact check me?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 5: Now see what happened to Dull.
Speaker 2: There you go, fell I'll show you the calculator I used.
Speaker 5: You misplaced the comment. It was one million, eight hundred thousand.
Speaker 3: Oh so okay, there you go.
