Speaker 1 (00:01):
It is a long holiday weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It is Memorial Day weekend, and please, among all the
picnics and celebrations and cookouts, that you still take time
to realize why we even have this weekend and Memorial
Day in the first place. If you've ever been by
in Westerville, they have the Field of Heroes yesterday. It
is absolutely breathtaking. I don't know, Boots, if it's more
impressive in the daytime, oh no, or in the evening,
(00:26):
because it is definitely something to.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
See and it's free.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It's free to just walk through all those flags and
kind of reflect on history.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Memorld Days all about those who lost their lives protecting
our you know what we get to do right now.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I always think of Joey Riley, who was killed in
the year twenty fourteen, about eleven years ago by an
ied and his family all from Grove City.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Joey Riley.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I became rather close with his mom, and I just
texted her yesterday and I just said, you know, thinking.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Of you, that's all.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
And she sent me all.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
These pictures from Fort Bragg and she said every American
needs to go there, and they have these displays of
Joey's pictures and different memorabilia. She got to meet Pete
hegseath Good and she said he was so gracious to
every single family who has suffered a loss of a
loved one killed while serving our great country.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, how was he Probably twenty five, twenty three, that's.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Been twenty nine, I'm not sure, maybe twenty six. I
forget the exact age.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
If you walk through cemeteries in the military and you see
the ages, yeah, it's usually twenty ish.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And wait to return one. Chris, there are you on? Now?
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Have you ever been to.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Know, I've never left the United States except Mexico and Bahamas.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Normandy is utterly amazing. It is just a mile after
mile of Americans.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
We storm the beaches and.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Yes, and the French take meticulous care of that cemetery.
They are still at this point. You know, those generations
have never they weren't there when it happened, and they
are still so appreciative. When you come in your American
they want to make sure that you get up and
you get to see the graves. And I mean, it's
it's it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
If you do the.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Math, every World War two veteran is at least one
hundred years old now.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
At one of my favorite interviews with the sharpshooter from
World War Two and just an unbelievable moment for him
in his life when he was right there storming the beaches,
and to hear his stories and just to be part
of that. It's something that I just don't think you
ever learn enough of in school, and I think they
should learn more. And it's it's who we are as
(02:34):
a country and as a nation.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
If you were twenty years old during Pearl Harbor you're
now one hundred and four. Wow, Well you're probably not,
but I'm just saying that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
We are last honor flight too. We haven't had an
honor flight World War two person for the last two flights.
Our last one was one hundred and three.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
He was doing good. Yeah, well maybe maybe went to
the avenue. How you guys can be right?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I want to address right off the get go.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
You know, obviously college softball season is over for my
other teams are still playing in the Super Regionalism.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
They'll go on to the College World Series.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to
so many of you who supported Cammy. The Buck guys
went to Buckeye Field, watched this team, gave them so
much love and attention. Obviously, guy sports will always get
more attention than girls sports.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That's the way it is, and I know that I
accept that. But to see so.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Many people rally around this team, and Cameron had an
unbelievable senior year.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Her stats were great. I was just sharing them with Chris.
But that's not who Cammy is.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
She's so much more than softball and the lives that
she touched, these little softball girls that will forever look
up to her, it means the world to me. So
I just wanted to say sincere thank you to those
of you who made it out to Buckeye Field and
watched this team in person, and I really really appreciate it.
I'm sure next year it'll be empty, no one will
go because Cammy's not there anymore.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
No, I'm just like whoa well, I do like the
coach said this. The coach did say she was talking
how great of a player Cammy was, but really impressed
me as how many little girls are going to miss Cammy.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Coach said that that was cool that the coach actually
pays attention because a lot of coaches don't care anything
about the game.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Would you see you as a mother or a father
or a grandparent and you see such love for your
daughter or grandchild, it's explosive in your heart. I mean
I would just I couldn't believe that's my kid, you
know she had that's my kid.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yet it's all because there and that's right.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So we have so much to talk about today, but
I wanted to get that out there because if you
don't think you were appreciated by watching this team and
being part of it, you one hundred percent were the emails,
the text, the messages that we received thanking us for
raising Cammy. I mean, it absolutely means something. So from
the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being
part of the journey. I hate that it's over, but
(04:46):
everything comes to an end, right Boots.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, Well I hope we don't. Well we will.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
All the ladies in from the Avenue Wellness Center. Avenue
is spelled Ave and you because the focus.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Is what Rebecca. The focus is on you. The focus
is on you.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And we were just talking before we started the show, Kimberly,
what was this stat you were saying about people and
living longer compared to our parents and grandparents.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
That this is the first generation projected to die at
an earlier age than their own parents.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
What generation are you thinking of, Yeah, like what we're
looking at ages or what.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Well, this was a couple of years ago, so I'm
assuming that anybody twenty years old and younger are part
of that. So that it's with the childhood diseases that
are showing up earlier and earlier in life with this generation.
I mean, there are kids that are getting on diabetic
medications at ten years old, and there are some that
(05:48):
are morbidly obese at six years old, and those have
long term implications.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And this is the worst.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
This is the worst health status of any generation.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Okay, So let me ask you something.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
In the sixties, everybody drank, smoke, party, blah blah blah,
like everyone seemed like growing up everyone has cigarette in
her hand. Nowadays, that's not so true. So you're telling
me that even this generation doesn't smoke and do the
things that our parents did, not all parents.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Well, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that it's
necessarily non existent. I think fewer people smoke now, a
lot less right now, But also.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
And they're doing other things seen passy stuff like that,
and those things have an implication as well too.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
But I want you to understand that tobacco today isn't
what the tobacco was fifty years ago. It's a key, yes, absolutely,
and it's designed to be so because it's designed to
be very addictive.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
How is that possible they came and do that. They
put I know they do all.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Of their r and D research and design money in
the nineteen sixties, seventies and eighties. They took all of
that money and big tobacco and focused it on making
people addictive.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
They had to have a smoke.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But that's bad. It's not tobacco that's bad. It's the
all of the additives.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
There are some there's some crazy number like one hundred
and thirty different chemicals.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
No way.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, I am glad that you brought that up because
something that I wanted to address. We only have a
couple of minutes left in this first segment was basically
MAHA Make America Healthy Again. Is really has been in
the news all this past week, focusing on the rise
of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions in children, and
what they're trying to do to prevent it, and they said,
(07:31):
ultra processed foods and environmental chemicals are basically having a
direct negative effect on our kids in obesity. How many
times do you look in your neighborhood and you see
kids outside playing anymore?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It used to be when we were growing up all
the time. That's what we did. We were out there.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We take the garbage out. Anymore the comparents do or
a robot does.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Everything is like push a button anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
You can push a button and have some robotic mechanism
cleaning your carpets, you know, vacuuming, cutting your lawn.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
What about you probably do?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I had my row body Colombar broke I to give
it back.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
So you're glad to see the small hall focus though,
and maybe make a difference in these diseases.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
I am. And aside from what anybody believes politically, we
have to take care of our kids. We have to
because these are the future leaders of our country. So
it does not make sense to not focus on childhood
health and we have to address them. We have to
address these issues, and it is a lot of it
is coming from big food, the ultra processed Trust me.
(08:32):
In the nineteen eighties, you can look it up in
the nineteen eighties, when Big Tobacco knew that people were
understanding more and more that smoking was bad, they said, Okay,
what are we going to do with all this extra money.
We've got to turn it towards something, because tobacco is
taking a dive, right, So they turn it towards food,
and they're now using the same addictive science basically to
(08:53):
turn towards food with fat and salt and additives making
us a dead. So we have to have that food
to feel good.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's a scary world that we're living in. It's also
coming up to June, so a lot of men and
women are going to get engaged and get married.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
What happens after that?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Boots, you get divorce?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
No, that's not what.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
You're supposed to say.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Whoa Rebecca? What happens after that?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Then they start thinking about starting a family.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
But it's not always that easy, right, No, it isn't.
So we're going to take a break. When we come back,
we're going to help you plan that family, because I
think there's more issues than people realize. If you're going
down that journey and you think you're all alone, you're not.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Oh absolutely not all right?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
We're at many boots on these radio six ten, WTV,
It is a long holiday weekend.
