hungry for a man in the arena. You know, it
was at Newsmax today and you know, blah blah blah.
You bring these people on and they're like, well, I
think I think you think, well, okay, well we're.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
In it doing. You are doing.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
The goal is to have people on that are in
the arena, that are dealing with the problems that they
go well back to you, Bill Ten's in beatos and knockoffs,
how's it going like, come on, we got to deal
with that.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
And we'll have updates. Last week we talked about Life
goes to Washington. We'll talk a little bit about that.
We have a really special save story which many aspects
of or many parts of our company.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Were involved in this great save.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
But we're also yeah, we're also hinting at next week
we take on Washington.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
But you had you You're always.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Busy, but what an amazing media day ending up on
the Man in the Arena.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
But where did it start?

Speaker 4 (02:23):
The biggest of course the podcast fastest growing podcast in America.
As measure by yes, yes, well we have our studio audience.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
We have expanded our studio audience.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Exactly I have to do. I have to introduce Maria.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
The intern unbelievable impact the first couple of days doing
great stuff.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
But tell me about your day.

Speaker 6 (02:46):
So started early, started early.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
I was on w p i X New York local
news and uh, you know, it was kind of for me,
it was almost a step back in time.

Speaker 6 (02:56):
You know. They were like, so, uh, you know, what
do you do?

Speaker 5 (03:00):
I gotta go through this again?

Speaker 6 (03:01):
What inspired you? But that's fine.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
I think hopefully the story of being in my garage
and doing something to say my daughter inspires people to
take on insane, unbelievable windmills with the stick, you know.
But what was cool on that is, you know the
host didn't really know, you know, and for me it's
almost at this time, you know, I'm like just watching

(03:24):
her go really, oh my god, you did that, you know,
and you know she I'm gonna demo Charlie. She stands
them up and I'm like, okay, it's gonna be a
little difficult for me. That's when I knew that she
didn't know and nothing against her. She was lovely and
she did a great job. But it really was another

(03:46):
little God wake up saying people don't know, right, she's
a mother.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
She didn't know. So hopefully w P I X in
the morning it did good.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
So PX I talk about CBS. I saw a picture
from CBS. We were getting pictures throughout the day. We
talk about deboron Orville.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
That was the next stop because the Deborah Norvelle is
leaving inside Editions has been on I did close to
thirty years.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
So I go there and that was pretty cool too
because I walk in and this lovely producer person comes
out and introduce and we're walking to go to film
and boom, I walk into Deborah Norville. Now she spoke
at our one thousand Lives Safe and you know, once
again it's a little God giving us some reality. I said,

(04:33):
you know, we're four thousand now, and she's like.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
What really? You blinked yeah, and then I.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Actually I was able to say, you know, the show
and you have saved over one hundred lives, over one
hundred lives have said, we've seen the segment on Inside Edition.
We got it, we saved the life. And she started
tearing up, you know, and it was cool show of
her soul of the fact. And I know because she

(04:58):
did care and she very.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
Were you there? What you were there? Heard the speech?
Absolutely weren't there.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
You were never there.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
He was busy that wedding, So it was cool.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
It was nice because I hadn't planned this year, so
I got to talk to her a little bit and
update her and I could see her emotions. Yeah, and
you know, to spend that much time and now going
out to kind of have that come up and say
you made an impact and this one, I can tell
you by the numbers, you made an impact.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
She leads the leaderboard of Media Inspired So Brian still
neeed Fox Channel, Mike Rowe is on.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
There, he's third, third, Joe's fourth.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Joe Piscopo coming forth. But Joe, it's such a great competition.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Well, Joe's a little harder because he's been more of
a presence at our events and he talks about it
in general, so you can't quantify it as easily. But yeah,
Brian second, he's in I told him last night he's
in a high thirties.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
And they, you know, take that moment as they celebrate
Deborah Norville's career and telling that I know she's making
a move, she's not leaving completely, but you know, she
must think about the impact that she has just on
the viewers. But this is quantified lives that she impacted families,
and we talk about the you know, behind the numbers.
And part of the greatest portion of the Saved Life

(06:16):
report is that, I think near the end of the
report is.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
How did you hear about life act?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
And that is when the Deborah Norvilles get mentioned or
inside edition.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
Or if Brian killed me, certainly.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
And you know I always I love to see and
Brian right because we know him grow up when he's
a friend. But yeah, I was able to say you
without a doubt. I'm sure there are more that you'll
find out someday.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
About this incredible story. When before when you it was
just you and the Small Life fact team and the
warners and you were up near Buffalo and your phone
rang about an entrepreneur show and who was looking out
for you in the back of his mind, like.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Hey, right, Yeah, yourphones always been a part my heart.
Because I'm during my accident, that's where we were going.
I'm walking up to the falls. It's emotional. I'm remembering
my friends. My phone rings, unknown number. I'm not answering
my phone. First time I've been there since the accident.
I'm thinking of my friends. So I just hang up.

(07:20):
I walked two more feet and it rings. It says Brian.
Now you know, Brian don't really call you.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
He's a busy guy.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
He calls you. You answer the vote. So I'm like,
I don't know why. I know there's a reason. So
I talked to him and he and I bugged him
for years to be on but I understand.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
We had a sing bung of glue together.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
I'm ready to put us on you know, national television.
There's a life saving device and uh yeah. They had
a segment on entrepreneurs and Brian got me in and
that was really our first boost in public awareness. But
as I'm walking up the Niaga faults.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
And guy people involved.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
Great example I got from the waters in our studio.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
That's another thing we learned. It would come from them.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
What do you think, Pat?

Speaker 5 (08:09):
I agree, it's great stories though, great story.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
It is O'Brien's always throwing gasoline on people's fire. He
knew he saw something there and he's like, I want
to help him. He always does that.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yes, yeah, you know I trusted him to do when appropriate.
And the first chance he got that, you know, he
could put me in as an entrepreneur.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
He did great.

Speaker 2 (08:27):

story is and.

That, oh yeah, that's one of my things. Definitely. It's
in the chapter of like Hall of Fame, Gobwings, Thank
you warners.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
Great stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
And from time to time we have over four thousand
lives saved, those that are reported, and every once in
a while a story comes over. They're all incredible, they're
all live, saved, communities, touched, communities, saved from a family,
saved from a choking tragedy. But this one may first
that we are able to share with the players.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
Crazy.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Yeah, just a crazy, crazy story. This is Saved four.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Thousand, twenty nine. And I believe from Staten Island, mister
Angel Agosta.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Is Angel gonna tell his stories that, yeah, because I
could recite it by heart from what I know now
because it was so beautiful.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
But yeah, the day of the incident.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Listen, I think you received the gift of live fact
in May of twenty four so less than a year.
But the date, April twenty fifth, you're driving and part
of the story that is just so amazing is that
you're on your way to have a CHI with your wife,
driving to the hospital.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
Angel take it away.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
It all started with a day of finals in school.

Speaker 8 (10:06):
So I'm rushing home from Queens and we're getting everything
ready and I had to take her to go getting
dudes around eight o'clock. And it's funny because usually I
just let the GPS take me to the hospital and
I don't pay my wife anymind.

Speaker 7 (10:23):
But this this day, I did pay her, you.

Speaker 8 (10:26):
Know some mind and go into the hospital, and we
made all the right turns, and maybe like a block
away from the hospital, we notice a gentleman running in
the in the dark.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
I'm sorry, I'm like shaky just even going back to it.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Man.

Speaker 8 (10:45):
So I see the gentleman running in the in the night.
I'm thinking nothing of him, thinking maybe he's trying to
be traffic. But then I noticed that when he got
in the middle lane, he jumped in front of my
car holding his hands up holding a child, So he
almost gets hit by my car. And then there was
a second car in the right lane for me that

(11:05):
almost hit him as well. And then that's when me
and my wife noticed that the baby was.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
Almost like unconscious.

Speaker 8 (11:12):
Her arms were flailing, and that's when we both noticed
that the baby was choking. And without a second thought,
I put the car in part. I grabbed the life
back from my glove box because I have it there.
I had the driver size there, and I just ran
out and I tried not to lose him in the night,
and I was able to reach him. He was running

(11:33):
towards a medical office and I'm trying to set everything
up right in front of the medical office. He had
rung the bell and I heard the buzzer go off.
Without thinking, I grabbed everything and I ran behind him.
Something told me, don't let that door close in between
you two. So when we got inside, the nurse that

(11:53):
was behind the desk, she's trying to figure out what's
going on. So I tell her that the baby is choking.
She as the second door. We go in again, and
we go into the first office. So that's when Dad,
holding the baby, threw himself on his knees, completely helpless,
holding his daughter, and under that bright light, I noticed

(12:14):
that the baby was completely blue, completely purple, and she
had this blank stare, like staring into space. And without hesitating,
I just told Dad I need to open her mouth.
So I opened her mouth, and in one try, I
dislodged whatever it was in her mouth. And with the
hecticness and how quickly everything happened, I didn't notice what

(12:38):
it was.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
But I heard her breathe, and she was.

Speaker 8 (12:40):
Able to gain function of her arms and legs, and
she was able to sit up on Dad's lap, and
she gave me this stare like, who are your angel?

Speaker 5 (12:50):
Angel?

Speaker 7 (12:51):
Ah Man?

Speaker 8 (12:52):
And never never wanted to hug a stranger's child so
much in my life.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
And I bet you she wanted to hug you too.
If it's okay, we're going to take a quick break
and we're going to come back more. Angela Costa in
a life stable my story.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yeah, we'll be right back. As everyone complains, she started
to choke on a piece of candy.

Speaker 7 (13:20):
She wasn't breathing.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Then Ray reached for the life back in it saved her.

Speaker 7 (13:25):
She could have easily died that day.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
A life back saved her life.

Speaker 9 (13:29):
What I would say is, don't need a life back
and not have it. Have a life back and hopefully
never need it.

Speaker 4 (13:36):

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Now on iHeartRadio. More of the Man in the Arena
the Life Back Radio Show. Here again are Arthur Lee
and Rick Thatcher.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
And also paddle Urk.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Before the break, we were talking to Angela Costa about
an incredible save.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
We call them saves. Pick it up where you just
have removed the obstruction.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
Wait, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
When she took that breath, was that the greatest sound,
greatest thing ever?

Speaker 8 (15:41):
I just felt the biggest weight, the heaviest weight off
my shoulders when.

Speaker 7 (15:45):
I heard that.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Yeah, missed the three thousands.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
And tell you the same thing like in that baby
in the in the save with the mom outside when
you hear her cry to the greatest noise ever. But
I knew that that moment would hit you and impact you.
But go ahead, please continue.

Speaker 8 (16:01):
Yes, so me and her locked eyes and like you
mentioned right now, when you hear that cry, it's the
greatest feeling. But in this situation, I did not hear
the cry, so she just staring at me like trying
to figure out who I was. And I'm a former
EMT and they told us in school all the time
that a crying baby is a good baby. So I
took that to heart and I realized I'm like, I

(16:23):
don't know if everything is out.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
She is a little too calm.

Speaker 8 (16:26):
Yes, she could be resilient, but I'd rather be safe
than sorry. So I told Dad, we're already heading to
the hospital, so get in the car and we'll take you.
And he jumped up. We ran into the car and
mom showed up.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
So you your wife?

Speaker 4 (16:42):
This gentleman his baby all hopping the car to go
to the hospital.

Speaker 7 (16:45):
Together and his wife. Yes.

Speaker 8 (16:47):
Because the mom was outside, she couldn't reach into the
medical office. Right before we got bussed in. My wife
stood outside. There was not much she could really do,
but she got on nine one one and she was
talking to the dispatch. She would on the phone still
when we ended up running out, everything happened so fast
that even the doctor at the medical office couldn't react
in time.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
No you yeah, so this is it's already incredible. Story
gets even more incredible in terms of full circle full team.
Is that you ran into a member of the Life
Back Team roadshow, Ryan who joins us.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
You saw him in Brooklyn just a few weeks. But yes,
the Costco connection, Ryan.

Speaker 7 (17:32):
That's amazing here, Angel, I appreciate you.

Speaker 9 (17:35):
Ryan.

Speaker 7 (17:36):
What are you what I have got and done. I'm
telling you unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (17:42):
Talk about your interaction with our hero Riot.

Speaker 7 (17:45):
Yeah, it just happened at work.

Speaker 8 (17:47):
Clocked in and I go to my section to start working,
and I noticed at the last aisle and they had
the roadshow and he was set up with the mannequin
and he had everything set up. And I had it
for a while now, about a year, and up until
that point, I never used it. So I figured, you know,
might as well get some training because I have the

(18:08):
travel size, so they don't come with the training. Yes,
so I figured, you know, it makes no sense to
have it and not know how to use it, so
why not go and get that experience right there? And
it took me a few tries, but Ryan helped me
through it and I was able to get it. And
that's his voice actually played in my head the day
of the ancident.

Speaker 6 (18:28):
God, how cool is that? Right?

Speaker 5 (18:30):
This is credible?

Speaker 7 (18:32):
Ryan?

Speaker 6 (18:32):
Do you remember Angel now?

Speaker 5 (18:34):
I do.

Speaker 11 (18:34):
Yeah, you came up to me before they opened, right.

Speaker 7 (18:37):
No, it was already late.

Speaker 8 (18:38):
It was in the afternoon. I was with one of
my managers walking by.

Speaker 7 (18:42):
Yes, so.

Speaker 11 (18:45):
I remember the beer.

Speaker 6 (18:48):
But Ryan, what does it feel like hearing the story?

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Like I texted you because I was so proud of you,
and I'm always proud of you, and I'm always proud
the way you treat people and care about everyone and
care about the mission and travel all over the place
by yourself to help save all this as it feel
to really know that you were part of saving that
baby's life.

Speaker 11 (19:06):
It's incredible and it just makes me want to keep
going and just keep spreading the word of light back
and teaching people how to use it and helping save
as many lives as we can out there.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
You know, to me, the big thing is, you know,
when you do something repetitive, it sometimes can be difficult
to remotivate yourself right, you forget the significance of what
you're doing. I think when I message you, I said,
that's the beauty of you that you do realize what's
at stake and you do put everything into each person
you show it to.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know, the humility of angel of being a former EMT,
having been with Ryan at Costco road shows and you know,
for a good length of time, a lot of people
walk by, a lot of people say have one. You know,
like you know, they're proud, good and Ryan will always
ask have you tried it?

Speaker 5 (19:54):
Have you practiced it?

Speaker 2 (19:55):
And every person and I can picture a lot of
people saying no, no, I'm good, I'm good good. But
as a former E M t to say, you know what,
it's a good idea for me to put my hands
on this and get some practical training.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Well that's humility and Ryan and Ryan Angel, my goodness,
I at two.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
Weeks the uh rangel, Rangel. You guys are combo rangel
there that angel.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
You know you were humble enough to realize that it
never hurts to learn more right.

Speaker 8 (20:24):
Not sure, not srue, You never know enough and it's
always good to practice, you know, it's you gotta stay
practicing for the moment that it actually happens.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
I love this guy's So what you have boy or girl?

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Baby boy?

Speaker 3 (20:40):
What's his name?

Speaker 7 (20:41):
Liam?

Speaker 5 (20:42):
Liam?

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Liam pretty much.

Speaker 7 (20:50):
Is your wife, baby boy.

Speaker 8 (20:52):
She is well more to like her grandparents sign, but
she is Italian.

Speaker 7 (21:03):

Speaker 3 (21:05):
That's a great name.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
And do you have other other kids besides Liam?

Speaker 7 (21:10):
Yes, I have the much older kids.

Speaker 8 (21:13):
There's step kids from her her sign and then we
shared two the last two so my five year old
Ethan and Liam. Ethan is the reason why I ended
up buying the life back.

Speaker 6 (21:26):
Now you can think about it. He helped save a
life too.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
But I know you put on your Superman cap, you
run out of the car.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
Does your wife slide over and drive the car?

Speaker 5 (21:36):
Now?

Speaker 7 (21:36):
No, she runs out as well. Yes, yeah, my my wife.

Speaker 8 (21:42):
Yeah, she's not gonna stick around and just be a bystander.
She ran out, but you know, being that she's pregnant
at all, she couldn't reach the door in time, so
she just stood outside and called nine one one and
did her part.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
With calling.

Speaker 6 (21:58):
Superheroes similar cases.

totally appropriate and.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
We can't pay you, but we'll feed you. Yeah, come
on out, that'd be great.

Speaker 7 (22:36):
With my kids.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Let me ask you this angel, are you in touch?
Have you been in touch with the family?

Speaker 7 (22:41):
Unfortunately known?

Speaker 8 (22:42):
I would like to because I have a feeling that
they live around the area, because the hospital is not
that far from the location where it happened, is just
a long, really long block, and it just felt like
God just instinctively ran there.

Speaker 7 (23:00):
So I have this feeling that they were around. Like
with Dad, I.

Speaker 8 (23:04):
Wouldn't recognize him because I was so focused on the
little girl, but if I was to see her again,
I would definitely notice. I would love to see them
again just to see how they're doing it.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
And you can say, somebody save me with a life
back when I was two years old.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
They'll be a for the Godwin. There'll be something. There's
no way that these many connections and teamwork, you know,
from Ryan working with you, to having one for your
other child, to having the courage to get up and
run to help someone else, especially with such what amazes
me about your soul. You had your pretty much the

(23:39):
top of the line responsibility your wife's having a baby,
but you were instinct and your courage and your soul
said she's okay, I can help that person.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
And you knew from experience and.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Faith that that person needed help, and more willing to
say I'm okay enough that I can help that person.
That's absolutely hero, God hero. So this is one in
all my thirteen years of doing this, in four thousand
plus saves, this is up there.

Speaker 6 (24:10):
This is a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
I still can't get over Liam, and I can't believe
Ryan is in a Costco right now in New Jersey
and he is as we are listening to this story,
looking for the next miracle, the next person, the next
next age. Bryan, thanks so much. We're going to let
you get back to work. So Angel, do you work
at Costco as well?

Speaker 7 (24:31):
I do?

Speaker 2 (24:31):
And how did you become aware of a life actable?
You know over a year ago.

Speaker 7 (24:36):
That was just through Instagram, just social media.

Speaker 8 (24:39):
I kept seeing it because being then on a former EMT,
I still follow medical pages and stuff like that, So
it just kept popping up. You know, once you like it, once,
it keeps popping up on your feet. And it's just
something that stuck with me. I always thought about it,
and it wasn't until a situation would mike. The situation
from Jersey Shore where he had an incident where a child.

Speaker 7 (25:00):
That's what really sealed the deal for me.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
So that put it over the top.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
You were aware of Life Act and then when you
saw that, and I believe that was inside edition as well,
but it was the situation. I never watched the Jersey Shore,
but every you know, there's good in everybody, right that
puts you over the top. And you ordered we were
concerned it all? Or were you aware of the prevalence
of knockoffs and counterfeits.

Speaker 8 (25:22):
I did, Yes, I did see a few of them
pop up and stuff like that. But that's what made
me kind of like sit on the idea of Life
Back and just like see if it was the real deal.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
And then I did. And then when I.

Speaker 8 (25:36):
Saw the video of the situation doing it with his child,
you know it actually working because my son he used
to stuff food in his mouth all the time, so
my fear was having him choke as well.

Speaker 7 (25:48):
So I stood on it.

Speaker 8 (25:49):
And then it's just Life Back kept popping up, popping up,
like all the other names. I never really they never
really stuck. So I had a feeling that Life Back
was the real deal. And fast forward to today, it
is definitely the real deal.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah, you know what Angel, when we put this save
on the whole saves this thing behind us that the
radio people can't see, but it's thousands of lives and
pictures in our place.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
We'd love to have you come put that save on
the wall.

Speaker 7 (26:18):
That would be amazing. I would love to and.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
That would really be great for all of us in
our hearts and souls. And it's a whole moment and
looking at four thousand pictures and you can go up
and read each one, and there's a little bit of
a story what they choked on, what number they save,
and you know, we end the show. We missed the
three thousand and he he was our his daughter was

(26:41):
a three thousand life we saved, and you were pretty
close to four thousand.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
What's four twenty nine? Well, you always welcome out out here.
You are a hero. Said yeah, we'll set that up.
Thank you so much, and we'll see you soon.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Angel of those stuff from Staten Island and former EMT
had to be on the way to the hospital, sees
a motorist family in crisis.

Speaker 6 (27:05):
And come on, say to your wife, honey, hold on
to the baby now.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
Listen. We all thought it. We all thought it.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Probably would run the guy over like, yeah, like I
just you could tell he had a good heart, that guy,
I mean everything.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
Well you know what helped because I thought he'd be
in the dog like, I don't care what you did,
your wife would hate you forever.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
I'm fascinated with his story. I want to know more
about him and his wife, Like what do they do?
You know, what's what's going on?

Speaker 6 (27:33):
That's why we got him.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Yeah, but I just think of looking over and saying, honey,
I'll be right back, and she's going to be induced
to have our child.

Speaker 6 (27:42):
I'm just going to jump out of the car and
run after this guy.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Leave the car and traffic take it, you know what.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
The details. And then he says she was behind them,
getting involved too. You know, she's also getting out and
trying to help. But difference she wasn't as.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Quick, Yeah, because she bent though, but she couldn't get
the door. Nine months so I started yelling at her.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Right still still miraculous, But I think the difference is
going to get a new If she had been in labor,
I think it would have been a much different reaction.

Speaker 6 (28:14):
I don't know, man, it's pretty close. ADVI.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
I said, by the way, hang on a second, it
was like nine months.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
I couldn't say.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
It was also their second kid. So the first one's
a different story. The second one you buy a barbecue
on the way home, right, you don't even care. The
first one you're afraid to drive home. Oh, and I
couldn't get my head around. Rick doesn't know Jersey Shore.
You know Snooky has a son named Lorenzo.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Come on, oh, this is part of your act. I know,
I know that this is in your way.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
But that's a cool point. Your first child, Like you're
you're a lunatic.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yes, yes, I remember how nervous you went driving home
to the hospital and they show you had to buckle
them in. Yeah, and we were like my third I'm
not kidding. We were like, how we gotta stop at
Price Club on.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
The way home.

Speaker 12 (28:54):
Yeah, pull Caroline, my third one. I think we put
her on the roof, but that's true. And I remember
practicing swallowing if.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Someth telling the floor you boiled it for an hour?
Yeah by the third one for five second rule or whatever.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
Yeah, you just put the food on the floor.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Look, how could I turned out? I'm the fifth or six?
See that's why you know.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
What a great story Angela goes to talking about the
four thy twenty ninth Save each One, Like we talked
about the numbers so much, but it's so great to
hear the story behind the details, behind the fact that
Ryan Warner came involved where he didn't have the confidence
angel did, even though he's a former empty and it's

(29:38):
a simple device to use.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Yeah, he know, I wasn't really comfortable and like this
guy told me how to do it, and we're like,
that's for Joe Ryan, that's him, man, And it's because
he gives and he always does a good job.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
Make sure that he knows what s it stakes.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Oh, I should say a god wink, he probably knew it. In
a week, I'm gonna have to use this, so you know, yeah,
I got the training, I got three days.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
That stuff happens a lot where it got here a
week before or just arrived and or we just moved
and we knew it was in the closet or a
week before they needed it. Yeah, that happens a lot. Well,
you're listening to the man in the arena. We're gonna
take a quick break. We'll be back with more talking
about going to Washington, talking more about saving lives.

Lee and Rick Thatcher.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
You just heard from doctor Ben corson Great Advocate for
Life Back.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
I got text and I talked to him and Canon amazing,
but my life is insane.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
I get it. Oh, hang on, I have to go
speak with doctor BENK. Carson is white. It's amazing right because.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
I'm filming a commercial with my daughter on the same
poe that we made in our garage thirteen years ago
that's now saving four thousand lives.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
Amazing.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
That's what's in your your growing up list.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
What we've said in these circles, we say it a
lot with Brian, and we say it a lot with
Arthur Lee. And the Life BacT circle is so many
pinched me. Yeah, am I dreaming moments? You call them
God wings?

Speaker 6 (33:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
So today, yes, this has been the best because of
Angel's story. But so on my news Max and I'm
just thinking and I've been on a bunch of times
and it's it is what it is. The news macs
and foks have shown stories about Life Act and Saved Lives.
There has been no other coverage for whatever reason.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
But it's so political. Yeah, choking is not.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
I don't look at it. I don't even want to
think about. It's too frustrating. But taxed Dona and I said,
can you tell me how many lives we were at
the first time on news Max three hundred and fifty
three hundred and fifty lives.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
And they've had us on a couple of times a
bunch of time.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Has been very supportive because they care about people being alive,
what lunatics. Now we're over four thousand, almost almost thirty
five hundred lives, thirty whatever, almost four thousand lives since
I was on the first time, they had me up
and I told the host that because now I kind
of know him, and I goof with him and I
stick the life back on my face and they have

(34:28):
to try not to laugh. And they were grateful because
look at the con Noel. They're great people, both of them,
and it was just a cool moment of progress beyond
the media helping, which is kind of what this turned
into today. Thanking Brian Thanking, Mike Growth, Thanking, Joe Piscopal
thanking deviorn Norville.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
If we go back to Exept Grill and baby Gabriel,
who is the patron saying hey, media.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Right, media, Yeah, Gabriel, the baby who got us on
Inside Edition which was a big media hit both his
viral video of him.

Speaker 6 (34:59):
Being saved in the restaurant.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
He's the name Gabriel's patron saint of Immediately. Come on,
Immediate is only like fifty years old.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Listen, you're the Irish Catholic here. You should be.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
No, I don't know, but that's what I guess.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Maybe it was called something else then, like, but he
is the patron.

Speaker 6 (35:19):
Scene.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Okay, we're going with me on the heels of a
monumental trip. We talked about it last week and Life
Act goes to Washington and yeah, that's a huge arena
down there. And I think that I've said it before.
I think the climate is so favorable and headwinds or
well we don't have winds or back.

Speaker 6 (35:40):
We have our super intern here that just made us
our presentation for the veterans, and it is in my
head it came out the way I want right. It
says we owe them, we need to take care of them.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
The American Red Cross now says when protocol cannot.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
Doesn't work, does not work where it's not the bully.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
The eighty eight says, they earned, they deserve a chance,
and we've saved many and we have two saves on
it in the vas so the full circle we get
to go and say, look, will they deserve a chance?
It's the law, and if it wasn't, we should be
doing it first. Anyway, I'm excited and it was cool

(36:23):
that she made that.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
Up for us.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Do you have like a PowerPoint presentation? You know what
you gotta do. You got to find an arena with
forty people in it and put it up and go,
this is what we've saved.

Speaker 6 (36:33):
Yeah, that's kind of what the whole saves is to.
I know, now I agree. How about this three thousand kids?

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Yeah, even better? Right, that's what I mean.

Speaker 6 (36:42):
How six with that?

Speaker 3 (36:43):
You was saying before the not Republicans, Democrats, their kids?
Right everyone? You know that's the point.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
And I remember when Jackie graduated and I was counting
right because I was getting that right when you sit there,
graduation two and a half hours, Bill Duhnson w Johnson,
We didn't even cover a third and we watched all
those kids go. Well, you know, and that's another way
of saying the significance of that picture versus the number.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
You know, someday it's going to be like Michigan Stadium
one hundred thousand. Yeah, take an aerial view. We've saved
this many people and headwin planes and we take off
into the wind storm.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
That's fascinating.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
So we also got Department uh Patent Office.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
It follows the theme that I always say, like when
people are saying, you know, you should be you should
be here anywhere where food is eating. And if you
talk about Washington, d C. And all the government that
cover everything, we have so many people to talk to
down there, including the V. A.

Speaker 5 (37:41):
Ice.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
Well, the big battle and patent of course is a big.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Well on this Apartment of Justice because they could do
something that wo and maybe it's a it's a godwink
that we are in this position. But you know, knockoffs
are your problem. You got to go after them that
you know they violate your PA. That's your responsibility. In
our case, all those products on Amazon are legal and

(38:05):
nothing to do with us as not even though they
steal my image, they still are product, they still are everything.
But they were illegal so the problem with the valve
and the handle is.

Speaker 6 (38:15):
Going to kill someone. So we have to try. We
have to try and bring it to light.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Bring it to light, and much like raising awareness of
the device itself, raising awareness of the darker side, the
law of the market, law.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
And the danger connected to the law. I mean, you know, well,
we're hopeful, right, We're hopeful. And then meeting with the
patent office hopeful. You know, I can go that way,
but we'll know and we'll talk about it.

Speaker 5 (38:42):
And we're not going alone. We're bringing Mike to Bellow.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
Yeah, we cannot lose with Milop, we lose.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
He's got our he's got our legal back.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Arthur lee ceo inventor paddle Ork, is here with us,
and I'm Rick Thatcher, and we're going to be back
with of.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
Course mister three thousand.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Mister three thousand Kit Coral, Florida is going to talk
to us about all the great statistics from saves this week.
So we're going to be back right after this.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
I was in the living room when I heard my
son Carter, who was two at the time.

Speaker 7 (39:15):
I looked over and I saw him grabbing for his face.

Speaker 10 (39:18):
That's through I grab a life back.

Speaker 7 (39:20):
I put the mask on his face and place push
pull the life back, dislodge the ice cube from his airway.

Speaker 9 (39:27):
When he started crying, the most amazing sound I've ever
heard in my entire life.

Speaker 7 (39:32):
Please protect your family, get a life back.

which is coming up only a week away.

Speaker 5 (41:19):
And then show on the heels of that.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Oh yeah, we talked to Angel and Ryan Warner who

Speaker 5 (41:28):
He's out for the rest of the year. He is

So yeah, I mean we check in with Roachel, but
who we do check in with every week? Let's let's
no further ado rape preeby mister three thousand of.

Speaker 9 (41:56):
My favorite people in New York doing we be good?

Speaker 3 (41:59):
You know, how many people do you know in New York?

Speaker 9 (42:02):
Listen all I do know? Angel? Really, I'm supposed to
follow up to that story. What a story, Angel, If
you're still watching, God bless you. What an amazing, amazing
story you have.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
I was sitting there looking at you and him, and
I'm like, oh, bless the wee man to look at
that and see you and how you've you've come on
to help others, and here he is telling that tough
story to help others.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
It was pretty powerful moment.

Speaker 9 (42:28):
You know, I'm not gonna lie. I was listening to
his story. I was cheering up a little bit.

Speaker 7 (42:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (42:33):
It was powerful. Yeah, yeah, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Remind us of your story and your beautiful daughter and
your heroic work.

Speaker 9 (42:44):
Yes, you know it's and it's funny that you say
we're heroes and this and that, but uh, you know,
I don't really think we are. You know, we we
are people and that's why we are here. We're here
together to help one another.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
Man.

Speaker 9 (42:58):
When people go and help each other, we're called heroes,
but we're really not. We're just people helping other peoples.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Gray, do you remember that quote that you had in
the news story, because it struck me where there was
a moment I don't know about doubt of humanity, but
where you said people don't usually care or remember lividly.

Speaker 8 (43:18):
Yep.

Speaker 9 (43:18):
Yeah, because again when for those who are just tuning
in don't know my story, I'm mister three thousand. I
saved my daughter on a Florida road coming home from
a birthday party. He was choking on a piece of
candy in the backseat of our car. Pulled over. In
the process. Two other motorists stopped who happened to have
the life back. Also apparently they did see me performing

(43:41):
back close to my daughter that were unsuccessful, so they
stopped to help in any way, which in today's world
is unfortunate. There's going to be more people that drive
by than the people that stop the help. But there
are good Samaritans out there, such as Angel Absolutely.

Speaker 6 (43:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
But you know what, that's hopeful stuff ry and the
fame that I still get chills that his wife is
going to have baby, says I have to go help.
I mean, it's a good thing for people to hear
and to know and to restore faith in each other.

Speaker 9 (44:14):
Humanity is still alive. Yeah, baby, absolutely.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
What numbers you have for us this week?

Speaker 9 (44:19):
Come, Bob ray, we got great number and I got
a story for you, guys. Oh, I don't think it's
gonna beat angels, but it's a it's a pretty good story.
Two thousand, four hundred and eighty eight children to date.
Let's just throw some numbers out there, guys. I love numbers.
And here we go, two hundred and seven days since
I saved my little girl, one thousand and fifty three

(44:41):
saves in two hundred and seven days. Let's just think
about it. Today is the fifteenth Cinco de Mayo was
our big day of four thousand, So in ten days
we have fifty three saves just in the last ten days.
This week alone, twenty eight saves this week. Great numbers,
great numbers.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
Well quick, I know you're going to tell the best
one of the best parts save of the week. But
I was getting ready for something and oh, someone posted
a hundred live Save shirt and they said how much
they appreciate it. So I looked and it took us
six years to save one hundred lives.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Six years. Yes, now we do.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
It in under a month. Yeah, so I thought you
would dig that. Ray I'll get your one hundred live
Save shirt.

Speaker 9 (45:26):
I did see that on Facebook and I looked at
it and it'said, wow, one hundred saves.

Speaker 6 (45:31):
And six years.

Speaker 9 (45:33):
The link that life back has gone since that shirt.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
I like the pictures of you, Arthur in front of
the early hal of Savis, pictures where there's a smattering
of pictures. But to look on your face of pride
can only be you know what it has to be
now to.

Speaker 5 (45:51):
Look at what's behind us?

Speaker 9 (45:53):
You guys ready for this?

Speaker 6 (45:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (45:55):
And this falls back to unreported saves because this one
actually Scott reported. But it's going to go back a
little bit. It's all the way back to Christmas Eve.

Speaker 6 (46:05):
Oh my goods.

Speaker 9 (46:06):
It happened a little while ago, but again it was
just reported. So again, folks, if you use your life back,
please report it. You get a new one for free.
A tragedy was avoided on Christmas Eve, and you know,
instead of a sorrow Christmas, you know, these families were
touch with such joy.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
That's a Christmas they'll never forget. Yeah, I mean, yeah, alright.

Speaker 9 (46:30):
Here we go life back. Far better to have it
and never need it than need it and not have it.
It's true peace of mind. The life you save could
be your own. God bless have a great evening.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
I want you four saves, sure, because that's my weight.
You know what you have?

Speaker 5 (46:51):
Come on listen.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Of course this weekend we're not only as always being
heard in l A, Houston, Orlando, and of course New
York City, but now we are joined by San Diego,
Dallas and Allentown, PA.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
It is exciting. But I think that people are they're
hungry for a man in the arena. You know, it
was at Newsmax today and you know, blah blah blah.
You bring these people on and they're like, well, I
think I think you think, well, okay, well we're in
it doing you are doing. The goal is to have
people on that are in the arena, that are dealing

(47:25):
with the problems that they go. Well back to you
Bill Tennan's Invados and knockoffs, how's it going like, come on,
we got to deal with.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
That, and we'll have updates.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Last week we talked about Life Act goes to Washington.
We'll talk a little bit about that. We have a
really special save story which many aspects of or many
parts of our company were involved in this great save.
But we're all, yeah, we're also hinting at next week
we take on Washington. But you had you You're always busy.

(47:56):
But what an amazing media day ending up on the
Man in the Arena.

Speaker 5 (48:00):
But where did it start?

Speaker 4 (48:01):
The biggest shelfilette of course, and the podcasting podcast in
America as Warner. Yes, yes, well, we have our studio audience.
We have expanded our studio audience.

Speaker 5 (48:14):
Exactly I have to do.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
I have to introduce Maria the intern unbelievable impact the
first couple of days doing great stuff.

Speaker 5 (48:21):
But tell me about your day.

Speaker 6 (48:23):
So started early, started early.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
I was on w p i X New York local
news and uh, you know, it was kind of for me.

Speaker 6 (48:31):
It was almost a step back in time.

Speaker 7 (48:33):
You know.

Speaker 6 (48:33):
They were like, so, uh, you know, what do you do?

Speaker 5 (48:37):
I gotta go through this again?

Speaker 6 (48:38):
What inspired you? But that's fine.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
I think hopefully the story being in my garage and
doing something to say my daughter inspires people to take
on insane, unbelievable windmills with the stick, you know. But
what was cool on that is, you know, the host
didn't really know, you know, and for me it's almost
a you know, I'm like just watching her go really,

(49:03):
oh my god, you did that, you know, and you
know she I'm gonna demo Charlie. She stands them up
and I'm like, Okay, it's gonna be a little difficult
for me. That's when I knew that she didn't know
and nothing against her. She was lovely and she did
a great job, but it really was another little godwake

(49:24):
of saying, people don't know right right, she's a mother.

Speaker 6 (49:27):
She didn't know. So hopefully w P I X in
the morning, it's good.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
So PX I talk about CBS. I saw a picture
from CBS. We were getting pictures throughout the day. We'll
talk about Deborah Orvill.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
That was the next stop because the Deborah Norvell is
leaving Inside Editions. She's been on I think close to
thirty years.

Speaker 5 (49:46):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
So I go there and that was pretty cool too,
because I walk in and this lovely producer person comes
out and introduce and we're walking to go to film
and boom, I walk into Norville.

Speaker 6 (50:01):
Now.

Speaker 4 (50:01):
She spoke at our one thousand Lives Safe and you know,
once again it's a little God giving us some reality.
I said, you know, we're four thousand now, and she's like,
what really? Yeah, And then I actually I was able
to say, you know the show and you have saved
over one hundred lives. Over one hundred lives have said

(50:24):
we've seen the segment on Inside Edition. We got it,
we saved the life. And she started tearing up, you know,
and it was cool show of her soul of the fact.
And I know because she did care and she made
a very were you there, you were you were there?
You heard her speech? Absolutely weren't there.

Speaker 5 (50:41):
You were never there.

Speaker 6 (50:43):
Was busy that wedding, and so it was cool.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
It was nice because I hadn't planned to see her,
so I got to talk to her a little bit
and update her and I could see her emotions and
you know, to spend that much time and now going
out to kind of have that come up and say
you made an impact and this one, I can tell
you by the numbers, you made an impact.

Speaker 5 (51:03):
Amazing.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
She leads the leaderboard of Media Inspired So Brian kill
Me Fox News Channel Mike Rowe is on there.

Speaker 6 (51:10):
You can't quantify it as easily.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
But yeah, Brian second, he's in a high thirties and they.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
You know, take that moment as they celebrate Deborah Norville's
career and tell her and that I know she's making
a move, she's not leaving completely, but you know she
must think about the impact that she has just on
the viewers. But this is quantified lives that she impacted families,
and we talk about the you know, behind the numbers.
And part of the greatest portion of the Saved Life

(51:37):
report is that, I think near the end of the report.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
Is how did you hear about life act?

Speaker 2 (51:42):
And that is when the Deborah Norvilles get mentioned or
inside edition or if Brian killed me?

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Certainly, Yeah, and you know I always I love to
see and Brian right because we know him, grow up
on him, he's a friend. But yeah, I was able
to say you without doubt. I'm sure there are more
that you'll find out someday.

Speaker 5 (52:03):
About this incredible story.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
When before when you it was just you and the
Small Life Fact team and the warners, and you were
up near Buffalo and your phone rang about an entrepreneur
show and who was looking out for you in the
back of his mind, like, hey.

Speaker 5 (52:19):
Right, yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:20):
Naggarfold has always been a part of my heart because
during my accident, that's where we were going. I'm walking
up to the falls. It's emotional. I'm remembering my friends.
My phone rings, unknown number. I'm not answering my phone,
first time I've been there since the accident. I'm thinking
of my friends. So I just hang up. I walked

(52:42):
two more feet and it rings. It says Brian. Now
you know, Brian don't really call you.

Speaker 6 (52:47):
He's a busy guy.

Speaker 4 (52:49):
He calls you. You answered the vote. So I'm like,
I don't know why. I know there's a reason I'm
taking this. So I talked to him and he and
I bugged him for years to be on, but I stand.

Speaker 6 (53:00):
We had a sing punge of glue together.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
I'm ready to put us on, you know, national television.
It was a life saving device. And uh yeah, they
had a segment on entrepreneurs and buying got me in
and that was really our first boost in public awareness.
But as I'm walking up the Niaga faults.

Speaker 5 (53:19):
The timing and people involved.

Speaker 6 (53:22):
Great exit I got from the waters in our studio or.

Speaker 5 (53:26):
That's another thing we learned. It would come from them.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
What do you think, Pat, I agree, it's great story.
Though great story, it is a fantastic show. I want
to thank Paddle Work, so we'll be back next week.
