00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:54.159
Wow.

26
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:55.599
Shots fired. I'm sorry, Laura.

27
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:56.560
Keep him away from me.

28
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.680
Wow. He prefers to sit down here, because Actuallylauren, you're

29
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:01.959
on the fire side of things.

30
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:02.799
Yes, I am.

31
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.599
Yeah, I gotta, I gotta keep it, keep the officer,

32
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:11.599
keep the PD guy down here, fire over here now, Lauren, Actually,

33
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:13.159
what what is your title?

34
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.120
Do you want to make one up for me? I

35
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:17.280
can tell you the real one.

36
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.599
Let's go with your real one now and then we'll

37
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.080
we we can break off into that story.

38
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.919
So I am the regional Emergency Management Coordinator.

39
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:31.280
Regional Emergency Management coordinator. Yes, you coordinate emergencies.

40
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.039
Yes, brand them, execute them, plan and execute emergency and

41
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:36.000
fire something to do.

42
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.560
Okay, Yeah, now that's uh. And I think we established

43
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.000
way back on episode number nine that Lauren is the

44
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.759
person responsible for great emergencies at two am on Sunday

45
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.120
mornings that we always have to respond to.

46
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.439
Absolutely catch you off guard.

47
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.120
No, we're kidding. If my bosses are watching, that's not

48
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.680
it's not actually chief, I'm really sorry.

49
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.800
Not true, and we we joke about that. Obviously, you're

50
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.759
on to two major emergencies and so forth. And actually

51
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.639
you were supposed to come on the show. A couple

52
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.680
of weeks ago, we had we had the Staremaster Steve Coin.

53
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.520
Steve came on the actually was a guest and came

54
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.080
in the studio. He does a lot of these Stare

55
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.120
climb to around the country to memorialize those we lost.

56
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.599
And during the September the eleventh attacks. Steve, of course,

57
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.960
is a transplant from Chicago, PD New works for an

58
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.960
agency here in North Texas. The Lauren you were supposed

59
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.639
to be on that that same show with Steve. You

60
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.120
couldn't make it. Why could you not make it? You

61
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.199
know what? Why did you back out on us?

62
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:37.319
That?

63
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:37.919
No?

64
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:40.520
No, no, let me say this. I was very excited

65
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.240
for that episode.

66
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.639
I wanted to be here to thank him for climbing

67
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.280
in the Dallas Climb and you know, tell him tell

68
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.360
the public a little more about it. But I also

69
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.879
wanted to hear his stories. But a few days before

70
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.159
I sent you a text and said, hey, friend, I'm

71
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.080
so sorry. I'm not backing out, but I've been asked

72
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.719
by the State of Texas to go down to kirk

73
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.080
count Me to help post flood event.

74
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.520
And so that is what I did.

75
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.240
You know, that's a pretty good excuse.

76
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:06.319
Thank you for doing that.

77
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.280
It helps. I really didn't once she sent that message

78
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:11.120
and Mike, I.

79
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.919
Geah, you can't. I got can't rebuttle with all your life, Yes, ma'am.

80
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.720
The mean response he had written, yeah, he's like, okay,

81
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:17.319
be safe.

82
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:22.439
Talco later sends yeah the uh. But so tell us

83
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.079
a little a little bit about what it was. What

84
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.839
it was like down there. I mean, obviously is horrible

85
00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.879
flooding down in the Curvel area and all along the

86
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.120
river there affected you know, quite a few cities through there,

87
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.319
but just a horrible, horrible event that happened. But what

88
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.199
was it like to actually be down there and and

89
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.079
see everything, you know, and even to even take that

90
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.040
a little bit further. You were from that area, so

91
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.920
you know what it normally looks like.

92
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:52.040
Yes, it's true.

93
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.560
So when I saw the event unfold late July or

94
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.639
early sorry, late night July third, early morning July fourth,

95
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.800
it hit home pretty I've gone on other deployments with

96
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:03.600
the state, the first one being to North Carolina for

97
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:05.920
a flood event, so in my mind I kind of

98
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.240
had an idea of what to expect, but being from

99
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.720
Bernie graduated from Bernie High School in the Hill Country

100
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.560
is very near and dear to my heart. When I

101
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.519
got the opportunity to go deploy, and it's tough with deployments.

102
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.680
You guys understand you want.

103
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.759
To go help, so you look forward to it, but

104
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.040
then you realize what you're going down there to do,

105
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.519
so you feel terrible for want for looking forward to

106
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.360
go to do that. So you tell yourself that you're

107
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:32.959
going down there to do some good and to help

108
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:34.959
people on their worst day. So I was grateful for

109
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.000
the opportunity to do that, and so I got chosen

110
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.199
when I put in on the rostering request to go

111
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.439
down there and help, not with the search efforts that

112
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.439
were unfolding. I give I will hug every single person

113
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:49.920
that was down there searching in the river.

114
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:51.319
That would be extremely hard.

115
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:53.240
I couldn't do that, So I was more on the

116
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.879
back end helping with the support for the families and

117
00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.360
anyone that was impacted in a couple different capacities. So

118
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:01.879
when I got down there, it was hard to see.

119
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.800
Like I said, with North Carolina, I had seen flood

120
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.399
damage and that was pretty widespread, but a lot more

121
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.680
localized than what I saw down in the Texas hill

122
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.759
country was so big, and seeing those trees and seeing

123
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.279
debris parts of boats right come thirty feet up into

124
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.439
a tree, and you're driving past it every day to

125
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.600
go to these small towns to sit with their leadership

126
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.399
and sit with their first responders and kind of help

127
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.920
them through this, but you're driving past it every day.

128
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:31.600
So the first day that I was down there and

129
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.600
driving to one of those towns and looking along the

130
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:36.879
river the entire time, and it hit me and I

131
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.279
started getting emotional. And as I was driving, I was like,

132
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.480
it's okay, I'm crying, but I can see well enough

133
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:42.800
to still drive and get there safely.

134
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:43.680
So we're going to do it.

135
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.480
And right you just let it out because you're like,

136
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.120
I'm going to be here for the next twelve days,

137
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.879
So let the tears out now, and let me accept

138
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.600
the devastation that's happening here. But I still need to

139
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:56.240
do good. And so luckily was able to push through

140
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.639
it and help some people where they needed help. So

141
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:00.279
I was glad. I was glad to be down there.

142
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.360
Towards the end of the deployment, it was twelve days total,

143
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.680
I was ready to get home. A lot of people

144
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.800
were asked if they could stay longer, and a lot

145
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.079
of them accepted that. I didn't had to come back

146
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.800
for work because work pauses here, but I had to

147
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.439
come back and do my day's job. But even just

148
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.639
the emotional toll of it, I was ready by about

149
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.879
day ten to come back home and take a break

150
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:23.879
from all of that.

151
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.759
Yeah, I could only I could only imagine, and I

152
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.680
you know, again, we're incredibly thankful for any first responders

153
00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.399
or anybody whether it's youre a first responder or just

154
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.199
a volunteer, you know, with a different background that was

155
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:41.480
down there helping out. Yeah, definitely thank you for helping

156
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.800
out those families and those who continue to help out

157
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:44.879
those families.

158
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.120
Yeah, they're still down there putting in great work.

159
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.199
Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's just that's amazing. And what

160
00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.199
are calling you know, the guys step up, Guys and

161
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.519
gals step up whenever we have a situation like that

162
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.519
in Texas, and Texas really comes together and handles her

163
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.160
own when it comes to situations like that.

164
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:04.519
Yeah, they do. There was a lot of people there.

165
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:08.879
No, it's good. There was something else that you you do, Lauren,

166
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.000
you you're involved, and we we kind of let onto

167
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.160
this earlier. You're involved in the planning of our Dallas

168
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:19.399
nine to eleven memorial stair cloud.

169
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.519
I am. I got a talked into being the director

170
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:24.000
this year.

171
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.480
So much for involved you. Yeah, yeah, up to your neck.

172
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.320
Yeah, I've always loved the climb.

173
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:34.039
I've been a part of a fire department for the

174
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.799
last eight years, almost nine years now in DFW, and

175
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.080
so when I heard they're.

176
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.240
Not gonna hold out against you, by the way.

177
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.679
About what, oh probably were past that.

178
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.200
No, never, it's a deep wound. It really is.

179
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:50.919
Well I'm glad you embraced the mustache part of it.

180
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:52.720
I've really tried.

181
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.320
If you look really closely, go ahead and zoom in

182
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:56.080
on this video.

183
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.159
Yeah, I've been really working on it. Thank you for them,

184
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:01.679
Thank you so much.

185
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.600
And see, I wish I would have put a fake

186
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:09.200
one on. That would have been hilarious. Well after the break,

187
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.559
stay tuned.

188
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.679
We shall exactly and I shall continue to keep you

189
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.320
two separated.

190
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.080
Yeah, and I will wear it at the climb. So

191
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.159
come out at the climb with me and then may

192
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.240
we all have one on. But I've always loved the climb.

193
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.360
I would go cheer everybody on, police included we're friends too,

194
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:26.720
and so after a couple of years, I wanted to

195
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:28.679
get involved. And so a chief of mine who has

196
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.679
since retired, found out that he was a part of

197
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:32.320
the planning committee and I said, hey, Chief, I want

198
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.320
to get involved. Maybe day of volunteer. Let me just

199
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.960
show up on the day of tell me what to do.

200
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.639
I would love to help. And he said, well, you

201
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:44.120
should join our planning committee. And before he explained what

202
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.840
a commitment that is, I said, sounds great. And so

203
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.159
that was four years ago, and every year that same

204
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.840
chief has come to me and said, well, now there's

205
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.480
a higher up position that's open and I really need

206
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:55.960
your help.

207
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.279
And so I just kept moving up, moving up.

208
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.600
I was the ops director for two years and then

209
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.720
he said, you know, I'm going to actually retire now

210
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.039
and step back from.

211
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.480
This and you should be the event director.

212
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.039
And I was like, well, you know what I've gotten

213
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.000
this far with just saying yes to everything that you

214
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:11.399
tell me.

215
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.519
So careful with that in your professional career at the

216
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.879
volunteering that's great, but oh my god, you got to

217
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:19.440
learn to say no.

218
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.440
It's hard too.

219
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.679
Sometimes Yeah I don't so no one, Please don't call.

220
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:29.919
Me so and again the nine to eleven memorials stare climb.

221
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:35.879
That that is first responders, correct, Lison fired. They are climbing.

222
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.320
How many stories? How many flights? Is there?

223
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.120
One hundred and ten floors and so that is the

224
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.840
height of the world Trade centers.

225
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.559
Okay, and this is to memorialize as we lost on

226
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.559
September the eleventh. They're in the terror attacks. They're in

227
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.200
New York City, correct, And these events. Steve was telling

228
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:54.799
us when he was on Steve Coin that these events

229
00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.320
happen in a lot of different cities. I think Chicago

230
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.919
has one. I think four or started one now they did.

231
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.159
Yeah, So we have an association of stare climes. Anyone

232
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.919
can start a stair climb. We have an association right

233
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.279
in public safety. We like to formalize things for a

234
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.399
lot of different reasons, and so we have a formal

235
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.120
National Association of stare Climes just kind of brings everyone together,

236
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:16.320
standardizes everything.

237
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.080
You'll have a Staremaster, we we.

238
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.639
We should call them that. That would be a great name.

239
00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.120
I'm going to talk to them about that on our

240
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:28.600
next meeting. I am the StairMaster. But so fort Worth, yes,

241
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.559
has just joined. That's one of the newest clients to

242
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.000
join the association.

243
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.159
C Yeah, what are they doing?

244
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:34.519
Four?

245
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.480
I believe it is City Center. I'll have to verify.

246
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.440
I don't want to give you that in were I

247
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:40.600
know we had stairs at four.

248
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.799
Now Kurtis and I start our own stare climb event

249
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.039
with just the two stories here and you just have

250
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.080
to do it? How many times?

251
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:48.159
Fifty five?

252
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:49.360
Five times? Yeah?

253
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.759
You can? So cool enough.

254
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:55.679
The first ever stare climb in two thousand and three

255
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:57.960
that we know of, was in Afghanistan. It was an

256
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.679
Albuquerque firefighter who was deployed overseas and he did it

257
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.639
in a two story building and he climbed to fifty

258
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:07.120
five times to get all one hundred and ten flights,

259
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:09.480
so you could it's been done.

260
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.159
Dude, that's awesome. He did that in Afghanistan.

261
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:13.200
He did, and then he came back, so he ended

262
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.440
his deployment, went back to Albuquerque, and then in two

263
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:18.120
thousand and four got some of his fire department crew

264
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.480
together and then they climbed in Albuquerque, and then slowly

265
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.840
it just started spreading. The year after Denver formed a

266
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:26.759
climb and it has trickled out across the US.

267
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.440
And then in two thousand and eleven.

268
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.440
On September eleventh, there was fifty five climbs Wow happening,

269
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.720
so it spreads pretty quick. Three of those were in

270
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.240
other countries, not even the US.

271
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:44.200
Wow and the climb. These events benefit different agencies. Stuff

272
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:47.840
tell us when this year's climb is actually going to

273
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:49.440
occur and who's going to benefit.

274
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:50.279
Yeah, definitely.

275
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.399
So our climb for Dallas is always the Saturday before

276
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:59.000
September eleventh, So this year it is Saturday, September sixth

277
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:03.240
Downtown Dallas Comerica Bank Tower. That is for the climbers

278
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.720
to go inside, It's not one hundred and ten flights,

279
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.000
so we break it up into three legs for them

280
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:11.120
to get all one hundred and ten. But the ceremony

281
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.960
itself is open to the public, to families. Anyone can

282
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:17.440
come out, and that is taking place at Main Street Garden.

283
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.200
Parky what time we kick.

284
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.480
Off about eight am, so I would recommend getting there

285
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:25.120
seven thirty. We have free parking at the Elm Street

286
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.879
Parking garage. Right Caddy corner to that park, walk over

287
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.639
to the park hang out. You can see all the

288
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:36.679
first responders. We fill every single first responder who tragically

289
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.240
passed away when the towers came down, so three hundred

290
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:44.080
and forty three fire, seventy police, nine ems, and then

291
00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.000
we also have additional alternates who climb in each of

292
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.600
those positions for people that have passed away post September eleventh.

293
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.759
So you'll get to walk around and see lots of

294
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.000
first responders talk to them, lots of chiefs, lots of

295
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:57.840
tons of volunteers.

296
00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:58.840
It's a great event.

297
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.679
And that's okay, so open to the public. Anybody can

298
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:03.639
come out and watch.

299
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.200
Correct yea and also live stream.

300
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.080
So some people don't want to go to downtown Dallas,

301
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.480
and I can understand that, but if you do, we'll

302
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.480
make it worth your while. There's a family friendly event,

303
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.120
so in the actual park we have activities for kids

304
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.360
to keep them entertained. It's also live stream, so we

305
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:22.960
have TVs outside of the park where you can watch

306
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.240
the actual climbers in the stairwells from start to finish,

307
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.120
and then they can also live stream that on our

308
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:30.960
Facebook page. So if you go to Facebook to the

309
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.480
Dallas nine to eleven Memorial Stairclimb Facebook, tune in about

310
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.639

311
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:42.000
thing to include the ceremony, which we'll have an FDN

312
00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:46.399
Y member who was there on September eleventh and lost

313
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.000
some of his crew speak. But we bring in a

314
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.759
speaker from New York Police or Fire every year to

315
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.360
really bring home why we're climbing every year.

316
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.799
Very cool message. Well that's great. So guys, if you're listening, yeah,

317
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.960

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.320
known each other for quite some time because I mean

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.600
you were kind of my fire department counterpart for my

322
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:17.840
position at the police department. We did a lot of

323
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.279
training together. And when I say we did training together,

324
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.279
we trained a lot of people to get together, and

325
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.200

you find yourself on these situations. And we taught this.

330
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:45.399
A lot, a lot.

331
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.559
There's a lot of people out there with so much

332
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.200
knowledge because the two of us.

333
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:51.399
I don't know if I'm proud or scared of that.

334
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:53.679
Yeah, I think we're making the world a better place. Lauren.

335
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.240

338
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.240
No, but it's funny because we did it so much.

339
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.480
I mean it was just second nature. I mean I

340
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.639
could stand up front a group and just rattle it off.

341
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:09.279
Actually brought turning kids. If we just want to do

342
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:10.039
a class right now?

343
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.759
Uh, you said you're supposed to play those around next.

344
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:16.480
Right around next.

345
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:25.200
Brought above the Adam's Apple. Don't do that for you listening, No.

346
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:28.240
But I bring that up because one of the one

347
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:32.000
particular time we were training, I was horribly sick. I

348
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.840
mean I had a cold flu something like that. And

349
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:39.000
I remember I was on medication, so there's like medication

350
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.559
eyes where your eyes are just burning and stuff. And

351
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.639
I had finished my part of the presentation. I went

352
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:48.159
to introduce you. I totally forgot your title and I introduced.

353
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:48.720
I forgot my name.

354
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.159
Yeah, I don't remember if I got your name right,

355
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.639

the Queen of England's second cousin, you know, nighted something

357

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:03.279

359
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.599

That's her normal morning routine.

373
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.440
It is you know, she's not lying. They We are

374
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.359
in Texas at is summertime. It is hot and in

375
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.920
regards to the heat, the heat can have several different

376
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.400
effects on your house. What are some things people need

377
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.640
to be Uh need to keep a careful eye on.

378
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:12.359
Heat is very dangerous to us. As we all know.

379
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:14.680
We have drink lots of waters, they hydrate it. Don't

380
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:17.119
overdo it. Your body will tell you and shut down.

381
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:20.319
But your house unfortunately has just as much stress on it.

382
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.240
But Unfortunately, I can't tell you when it's had a

383
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.640
little bit too much. And so these are things that

384
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:27.119
we have to go out as homeowners and really walk

385
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:30.359
around your property when it's even hot and figure out,

386
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:32.519
you know, does my is my house standing up to

387
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.839
these elements. And so you always see a lot of

388
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.519
people complain about their fences starting to lean sometimes after

389
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.480
summertime because the ground got so cracked and contracted that

390
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.160
you know, it made you know, the posts start to sag,

391
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.920
you know, around your foundation. We always hear people have

392
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.759
foundation problems. Well, that's just because you haven't got consistent

393
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.839
soil moisture. And so when you have a lot of

394
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.359
cracks in your yard, that's telling you that the moisture

395
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.839
is being all drained out and now your house is

396
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.279

397
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:05.440
So drainach around your house is super important. Gutters. I

398

459
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:46.799
actually come over and did my roof for the two

460
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:48.960
weeks ago. Now I did a phenomenal job. They sent

461
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.440
Keith Damer was the project manager, showed up and they

462
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:55.839
showed up with a gazillion people in fourteen trucks. And

463
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:57.400
they got up there and I mean, I've got a

464
00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:59.599
pretty good sized roof. It's like sixty something square and

465
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.799
they had the whole thing done look gorgeous. Plus they

466
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:05.599
replaced a lot of wood that I am not a woodworker,

467
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:07.000
So when they told me they could do that, I

468
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:09.960
was like, absolutely so. But now they they did a

469
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.880
very fast, efficient job. Cleaned up. I mean when they left,

470
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:14.279
it was like, one thing I have is a brand

471
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:15.559
new roof and new wood.

472
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:24.000
Yeah I'm not. Yeah, it's nice, but again, and that's

00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:05.440
the most. Now that your compound is up and running here,

507
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:08.079
so like you'll have more and more animals, right, So

508
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:10.759
I did not know, And Karen, you come back me

509
00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:12.359
up with this if you knew before this, I did

510
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:15.440
not know that Steve was an ass man, did not

511
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.000
have an inkling. I had suspicions, I mean, one of

512
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.319
those hands. But what really got me was when he

513
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:25.000
sent me the pictures and I was like, Steve, that's

514
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.440
that's two hairy asses, my friend. Are you gonna be

515
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:28.160
able to feed those?

516
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:31.039
So? Uh?

517
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:32.440
What did your name? The donkeys?

518
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:38.880
Huh?

519
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:40.400
Lulu and Daisy?

520
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:44.720
Lulu and Daisy. Yes, yes, they like carrots, don't they? Yes,

521
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:48.039
they did. We were out there earlier. I say, Laura,

522
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.279
come on, I heard we're gonna play with Steve's ass

523
00:25:52.279 --> 00:26:03.000
inside anyways. Damn, oh you.

524
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:05.279
Know you know me.

525
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:07.759
I mean, I like add good puns. So I was

526
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.160
reading a story and the story was there is a

527
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.519
zoo in Denmark that had asked for something kind of

528
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:16.440
out of the out of an ordinary not you wouldn't

529
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:18.519
think of zoo would asked for this. So the zoo

530
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.160
had reached out and said, hey, if any of you

531
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.680
folks have any household animals that are that are on

532
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.440
the last leg or you don't want any more, we

533
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.440
would love to have them for our predators. Yes, And

534
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:32.759
I was like, I was like reading this article, I'm like,

535
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.000
you know, in my head, it was like, you know,

536
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:37.759
the little girl comes home and was like, hey, daddy,

537
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:39.960
what happened to mister Fluffers? Is like, is is he

538
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:41.799
not in his cage. He's like, no, Daddy, I can't

539
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:44.279
find mister Flupper's is like did you look under the bed?

540
00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:46.240
I mean, he's got to be here somewhere. And poor

541
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:47.880
mister Fluppers is like, you know, he comes out of

542
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.000
the box and he sees a lion. It's like, I mean,

543
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:54.160
I was like, you're asking people for their household pets.

544
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:57.039
And then I started reading the article that it was

545
00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.400
kind of combical because they said that they had a

546
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:01.440
lot of people will call and say you could have

547
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:05.359
my horse if you wanted. But I was like a lion,

548
00:27:05.440 --> 00:27:08.400
I guess, exaid the predator animals, I don't know. I'm

549
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:10.559
assuming that's the lion, the tigers bears, I don't know,

550
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:12.079
but I was.

551
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:13.799
Like, mammoth, I don't know.

552
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:21.759
Yeah, when's the last time you went to a zoom?

553
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:27.920
It was turned the sentry. You know better, to drink

554
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:39.400
on the sew you know better. But that's his line.

555
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.680
I just see Steves a young boy. Mommy, can we

556
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:51.240
go see the pterodactyls. No, we're cleaning the cages.

557
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:53.960
Okay, he's.

558
00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.759
There's no more in it out, it's all over.

559
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:15.440
Ah, oh breath, we'll come back good now.

560
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:18.119
Yeah, We're gonna good ass mass swallows.

561
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:20.720
That's what you needed, a little bist.

562
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:27.400
Oh man, Lauren, how are you doing today?

563
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:30.640
I'm good? What a great Friday.

564
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:33.640
You don't remind me. I mean, we've added monitors to

565
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:41.960
the studio, we'vett timers. We need added to fibrilator. Maybe

566
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:42.839
it's not the bleed kid.

567
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:46.000
Yeah, you should hire a medic to just sit here

568
00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:49.759
just in case. You guys know how to do the Heimlich.

569
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:51.440
I feel like that's probably an important one.

570
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.400
I bet you have a class wort, don't you.

571
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:01.200
Today we're gonna be demonstrating the heimlike on the show. Yeah,

572
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:03.400
i'd actually heard about that story. The guys on the

573
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:09.240
Treehouse said they were talking about it. They did, and yeah,

574
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:12.759
that that's just crazy. Bring your pets in and you know,

575
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:16.279
to feed to the predators. I think they were. Weren't

576
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:18.599
they giving like money or a tax break or something.

577
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.519
Yeah, there was there was an incentive. I mean, but

578
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:23.440
I just I couldn't imagine you bringing like the family

579
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:26.160
dog or something. I mean, I mean it's different a

580
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:27.160
Chinese restaurant, but.

581
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.359
Eating alive. I know, and.

582
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:34.920
I am I am an animal lover, don't me wrong.

583
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:36.880
I'm not saying that I love I love animals, but

584
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:39.599
I was like, that floored me that they were if

585
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:41.920
you have a couple of extra dogs laying around or something,

586
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:43.519
you don't run the house bring much will take care

587
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:44.000
of them for you.

588
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.640
I bet they don't have a homeless pet problem near

589
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:52.200
that's know, straight dogs anywhere.

590
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.160
No, I bet in contract with code with the code enforcement,

591
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:57.559
I could enforcem animal control.

592
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.839
Did y'all hear about the accident in Philadelphia? Is it Philadelphia?

593
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.519
See if I run on my phones? Anyways, So they

594
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:10.480
had it was one of the major hot major highways.

595
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:15.839
They had a hot dog truck overturned. Hot dogs were everywhere.

596
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:17.599
Hey to see that happen, I do hate.

597
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.440
To see it happen. But whoever wrote the article was

598
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:21.200
actually they must have had a little bit of a

599
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:22.599
little bit of fun with it, because they said that

600
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:28.319
it clogged the main arteries into town for hours and

601
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:30.480
they had the bulldoze the hot dogs off. That's I

602
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.720
mean hot dogs. There were so like a lot of dogs.

603
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.359
That is a lot of dog, but it's a bulldog.

604
00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:39.000
Get the bulldoze them off. They just invited people's household

605
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:39.480
pets out.

606
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.920
There to fatten them up, and then I was trying

607
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:43.079
to figure out why there wasn't a bread.

608
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:47.359
Guys were trying to sell some buns. You know, get

609
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:50.920
a little fire going, hit your hot hot dogs, get

610
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.799
them other hot guys.

611
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:56.359
Yeah, just set up, you know, take a little lemonade.

612
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:59.000
Stand from the girl empty in the street. Mark got lemonade,

613
00:30:59.039 --> 00:30:59.759
put hot dog on it.

614
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:01.160
Looking at like a block party.

615
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:05.640
Yeah, what's the guy that has the world record for

616
00:31:05.640 --> 00:31:06.680
the number of hot dogs.

617
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:08.359
I should have just had all those guys show up.

618
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:10.200
Oh yeah, the Nathan's guys. Whatever.

619
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:10.880
You guys, have.

620
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.319
Five minutes as many of these hot dogs as you

621
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:14.000
possibly can.

622
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:16.559
Let's save some taxpayer money.

623
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:23.640
Competition exactly, going back to having a defib. Yeah, have

624
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:26.079
a bunch of guys heat cleared the highway with hot

625
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:28.559
eating hot dogs. Might want to have a DEFIB to

626
00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:32.680
stand by for that. Yeah, Lauren. Over the years, you

627
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:35.839
and I had the opportunity to do several videos together.

628
00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:36.160
Yeah.

629
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:38.119
None involves hot dogs though, And I'm kind of sad

630
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:38.559
about it.

631
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:42.640
You shooting you.

632
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:50.759
I was going to say anything, just keep talking, keep going,

633
00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:54.440
let me go get that shuffle where was keep on?

634
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.319
But we we did a lot of a lot of

635
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:05.400
you know, community service related videos and stuff, and there

636
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.039
was actually one we did. It was a lot of fun.

637
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:11.799
It's the first time actually had the teleprompter on the

638
00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:13.880
little cart going down the drain tracks and all that,

639
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:16.200
and I was trying to walk around and look professional

640
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:18.160
and all and it it. It'd been a great video

641
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.160
and we actually won an award for that video.

642
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.319
A national national award.

643
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:25.000
Yeah.

644
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:28.039
Did you get invited to go accept that award at

645
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.079
the fancy conference in Las Vegas where.

646
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:30.599
They gave it out?

647
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:31.960
Nope, what about you?

648
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:33.519
No, that's funny. I didn't get invited either.

649
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:35.640
How did you know we got an award?

650
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.720
I was walking through our city hall at the time

651
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:41.680
and looked into a case and was like, wow, look

652
00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:44.960
at this pretty award, and the communications director was like, yeah,

653
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.119
that was the video that you and Steve made.

654
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:50.119
I was like, so this is our award? Can I

655
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:51.480
have it? And they would not give it to me.

656
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.400
No, No, that belongs to the city. Yeah.

657
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:55.480
Yeah, the city paid for everything. Y'all were just the

658
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:56.519
monkeys about the camera.

659
00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:58.880
I mean, but we were great monkeys.

660
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:00.000
Well I didn't say you weren't.

661
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:03.440
I'm just we were the talented monkeys.

662
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:07.200
I had to get water. They didn't actually pour the

663
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.440
water on me. But let me clarify real quick, as

664
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:14.079
ran with my hot dog comment. We were it was

665
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.640
a safety video for all employees, and one of them

666
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:18.920
was talking about if the sprinklers go off.

667
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:20.160
In the building, what do you do.

668
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:22.039
So they had the great idea that we couldn't just

669
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:25.799
they couldn't just imagine that the sprinklers were going off.

670
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:27.640
So there we were standing in city hall and they

671
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:29.759
had a kiddie pool behind me and someone up on

672
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:33.759
a ladder pouring water behind me, so it looked like

673
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:35.680
the sprinklers were going off in the building. This is

674
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:40.359
why we won an award. We were dedicated. I had

675
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:42.799
to stand there and talk while water is being poured,

676
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:44.440
the fire alarms going off.

677
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:45.480
The special effects.

678
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:46.599
There was no.

679
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:48.960
CGI back then. They were just throwing water.

680
00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:50.000
Man.

681
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:53.440
Oh but again, was this a silent.

682
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:57.200
Film, No, it was this voice voice.

683
00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:58.440
Yeah.

684
00:33:58.480 --> 00:33:58.559
No.

685
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:00.440
So we won a national award for that. We just

686
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:03.240
you and I just didn't know, didn't we didn't.

687
00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:06.279
You know what's funny is they still use that video.

688
00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.599
So we've both been gone from that city for a

689
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:10.559
number of years now, and I still will get a

690
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:13.639
text of all new employees have to go sit at

691
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:16.880
new employee orientation and watch our ten minute video and

692
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:18.960
there's little baby Lauren and baby.

693
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:20.280
Steve on the screen.

694
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:22.920
And I always write back like, wow, had I known

695
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.360
this would live on, if I would have actually done my.

696
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:28.079
Hair that day, or you might have asked for royalties.

697
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:31.760
Checking them out. I didn't get a check in.

698
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:36.320
He's been living off that money for years. You didn't

699
00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:40.079
get yours seventy four cents of your guys.

700
00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:42.119
After taxes.

701
00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:46.800
Hey, you gotta pay for talent, just not us, apparently

702
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.679
have to pay us.

703
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:53.039
Yeah, yeah, you know. And all the other videos we

704
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:55.639
we would do, we'd always write down before we had telepromctor,

705
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:57.840
we'd write down all our notes and you have to

706
00:34:57.880 --> 00:34:59.880
read on beach paper that we've got attached to our

707
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:05.039
camera tripod or whatever. And I think I kept all

708
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:08.000
of the blooper reels of.

709
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:10.360
Of me messing up. Yes, when I asked for the

710
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:15.519
bloopers of you retirement ceremony, Oh no, there were there

711
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:17.760
were plenty. I was just nice and didn't save them

712
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:20.079
on my phone. Yeah, he just proceeded to send me

713
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:22.480
all the bloopers of myself over the years.

714
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:23.519
Couldn't find any of myself.

715
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:26.360
He had the forethought that you did not.

716
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:29.920
That is true. That is true, and it's something I

717
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:30.480
regret to this.

718
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:33.800
Yeah, even when before you started, he goes, I will

719
00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:35.280
have something to hang over her head.

720
00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:35.599
Oh.

721
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.559
Always, they're good ones. We messed up a lot. We

722
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:40.360
had a lot of fun recording those videos.

723
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:43.480
Yeah, and some of them. I mean, it was so

724
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:46.599
it was so intense because again, when we first start out,

725
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:49.599
we didn't have a teleprompter, so everything's printed out and

726
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:51.519
you're just we're reading off of this, you know, you

727
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:53.400
try not to make the pupils follow it, so about

728
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:56.159
your audience, stall on the camera, and we could get

729
00:35:56.159 --> 00:35:59.679
through all this information, like read through three minutes information,

730
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:03.480
and then somebody would miss a word or something and

731
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:07.440
why you're looking at me just greater, Oh, son of

732
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:09.039
a bitch, we're going to start over.

733
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:12.760
But we would say that we'd be recording and be like,

734
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:16.039
oh my god, and we'd freak out, and so that

735
00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:20.159
became the blooper reset and do it all over again, or.

736
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:22.519
And just be reading off did it is professional? No,

737
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:23.440
son of a bitch.

791
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.280
I don't think so. I mean they can also do it. Honestly,

792
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:48.599
they don't have to leave their name. They won't leave

793
00:39:48.599 --> 00:39:52.360
a story. Yeah, yeah, you can work. Leave your buddy's name.

794
00:39:54.000 --> 00:39:54.559
We don't know.

795
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:58.320
Yeah, Curtis is common spelling.

796
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:03.360
Yes, Curtis had common spelling. Curtis, why do you keep

797
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:12.320
email on the show? I will say this, Curty missed it.

798
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:14.440
Last week I was talking about how I got stung

799
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:18.400
by a wasp outside. Oh really, yeah, I mean it's crazy.

800
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:20.440
You know I've been stung by bill jackets and stuff

801
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:22.719
like that as as a kid, and sure it hurt,

802
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.400
but this time it's one of those red wasp things,

803
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:27.159
and yeah, whole arm swelled up.

804
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:28.760
I bet it. You're at a fan stage. I mean,

805
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:31.480
I'm glad you made it through.

806
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:33.199
Yeah, yeah, I mean it was tough.

807
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:35.760
But is this close to childbirth things? You thought it

808
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:36.239
was gonna be?

809
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:38.760
Yes?

810
00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:42.119
Well, yeah, we we kind of segue that because I

811
00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.840
found out what I consider an alarming story. The story

812
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:50.039
that I read was there's a nuclear testing site in

813
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:53.679
South Carolina. It's the Department of Energy knows about it.

814
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:57.840
This is their site, but apparently it's been dormant for

815
00:40:57.880 --> 00:40:59.960
a while, but they still have to send people in

816
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:04.039
ever so often to do testings. Like hey, just reading that,

817
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:06.880
ready to see if it's going down? You got half life.

818
00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:10.079
There's just so many stuff, you got, chick. But apparently

819
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:13.400
they found a trend where they found several wasps nests

820
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.639
that are deep into where the radioactive part is.

821
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:21.360
A couple of a couple of elements. Here radioactive and wasp.

822
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:23.920
I told you alarming, Right, I'm not good with either one.

823
00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:26.360
The only thing is they have yet to be able

824
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:28.119
to see the wasp. All they can do is find

825
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:32.280
the actual the nests, so they're monitoring it. Okay, so

826
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:34.280
they found the nest, they haven't seen a wasp, No

827
00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:36.239
wasps on the nest.

828
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:38.719
No, But I mean, does this not make you think

829
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:41.320
bern the hell did murder wasps come from? Those things

830
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:45.920
are freaking huge, you know. So, I mean my thoughts were,

831
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:49.679
like you said, it's to me it's super alarming that

832
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:52.159
they're finding them. Then second off, they're not. They're beast

833
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.039
tellings like we found the wasps. But if we haven't

834
00:41:55.079 --> 00:41:57.360
seen them yet, maybe they're invisible.

835
00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:01.599
That's what I go think about, that they're invisible or

836
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:03.159
they're on their way to Texas.

837
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:12.559
But either way here in Texas, either way, it's beautiful. Well,

838
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:14.440
if I see any radioactive wash I'll let you know.

839
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:16.840
But they're on my radar. Now I'm gonna start watching them,

840
00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:18.639
which I mean, I'm pretty sure the ones around Myles

841
00:42:18.679 --> 00:42:20.199
I've got to be. So there's gotta be something those

842
00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:22.760
because I almost have fifty or sixty round miles at

843
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:23.760

844
00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:27.280
Wall in a wasp. Okay, you know what firefly is?

845
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:30.239

00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:38.199
you wonder would a radioactive wasp go like firefly and glow?

849
00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:39.639

850
00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:44.840
Wasps don't come out at night, so well, if they.
