Speaker 3 (01:05):
A patre Lining up Brady Bunch to lead our.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Way Bobby Brady party.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Oh yeah, you had a passion for tonight's topic. I
think we all been talking about the preparation for the show,
talked about caring for caring for our loved ones, our family.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Well, it's like most of these shows, right, And why
I was joking with Pat about the Brady Bunch, we
used to have lessons in life, right. So the accumulation
of events happening in my head.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
So the book is sorry, can is a lot getting
rid of that word in your vocabulary so you see
what you can do right, And the problem is it
becomes very habit for me.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
Hey, you want to play cards and that I can't.

Speaker 6 (01:48):
Can't.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
Yeah, well you didn't even think about it.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
And if you did, because you couldn't use that word,
you'd say I could do that report in the morning. Yeah,
I haven't seen Bill and Ages. I want to play right.
So it's that hesitation in the micro in the bigger picture.
Since it's so easy, we use it all the time.
So Stevie the incredible Olive.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
Aarry operations manager at life that.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
I may have seen you may have seen them in
movies and TV, yes or maybe not. But more importantly,
Jim Brewer stimulated this whole thought, and that's why Stevie's here.
Here's the thing, my dad. I couldn't put him in
a home. I couldn't get people to come in because
we're all standing in a circle and eating outside inside.
Most genius ideas. But therefore everyone was afraid I can't

(02:34):
come in. So I had to do it for the
first month. And then you know, my sister came in
and we got help and Tony. But here's the thing
that he says, it turned out to be one of
the greatest experiences of my life. Right, So now you
combine that, I just can't do it anymore. Okay, is
that word I step back? Not only like he says,

(02:55):
because I did that. I washed him, I built a
habit trail so we could walk around house. But you
can do it, and not only that, you may want
to do it right. And then once you change that
thought to what he says, putting it was the greatest
experience in my life first, and then figuring out how.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
To get there.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
And if you look at it that way, it all changes.
My niece can come, my nephew can come, my neighb
be loves my dad. He could show up once in
a while and before you know it, you've got a
manageable situation. Now we this is Steve oliverari if you
Steve Oliver, everybody, he's extremely handsome, yes, and bold.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
You're bold.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
But remember as your dad went, I was like feeding
you advice.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
But tell your fall the story about how clear he
made the decision for you to take care of him.

Speaker 7 (03:45):
His father, Oh, it was about ten years ago, and
I was very active about wanting to sell his house.
And I brought some real estate people in to sell
his house and we get some estimates and stuff like that.
And my dad was a When I was in trouble,
my dad would get me by myself and.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
That you were in trouble. Many times I was in trouble.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Because his dad was a very cut drive.

Speaker 7 (04:11):
Yeah, it was very cut and dry. So you know,
basically he's very religious. You didn't want me to ask
him for money, and he told me they would bring
home police or any pregnant women.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Yeah, you were given clear instructions. No no women, no
pregnant women, regular women. Find I meant no regular women,
unpregnated women, okay, and no police and don't ask.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
Him for money, right, And if you stay in the house,
you get a job.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
I like those. But it was very easy, clear, yeah,
very precise.

Speaker 7 (04:42):
So ten years ago he got I was by myself
in my house about ten years ago, nobody was around,
and he's in the kitchen. He's got a cane with
him and he's like, hen' I want to talk to you,
and he gives me one of these.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
This is how it was going to go down.

Speaker 8 (04:56):
You know.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
It's like, I'm watching you and I'm like, Robert, I'm
like nineteen again.

Speaker 7 (05:01):
I did something wrong, he said to mom, And he's like,
look at me when I talked to you. So he's like, look,
I worked two jobs my whole life. I took care
of your mother to the day she died. He goes
to me and I'm gonna go out the way I
want to go out, and he goes to me, I
ain't selling my house, so let's just stop that conversation
about selling the house. He's like, you're looking at me,
and he goes yeah, and he goes when I go,

(05:22):
you're going to cart me out of my house.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
That's how I'm going.

Speaker 7 (05:25):
He takes his hand, he shoves it into my chest
as best he could and I'm like.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Oh my god, this is like I'm twenty now. Do
you know that he is not well at this point?

Speaker 9 (05:33):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (05:33):
You know.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
He he's getting elderly, you know, but he still had
his wits about him. He would come and go with
the witsiness. So I'm like, okay, Dad, and that was it.
The next day I called my brother Rob. I said, well,
carting Dad out of the house.

Speaker 6 (05:47):
I said, no.

Speaker 7 (05:47):
Today, but I said, whatever someday in the field, when
it happens, it's going to happen. And I said to him,
I'm never bringing up the conversation again.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
So my brother's like, okay, we're going to do it right.

Speaker 7 (05:57):
And we've you know, he had some memory lost things
and from his trial.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Well wait, let me tell you for a second, because
in that I can't take care of him anymore.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Neither one of us really had a choice. Steve's father
told you something.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
You were like, OK, you do right, that guy's going
out with his boots on man, And he did. But
so here's the thing, right, so neither one of us
had the choice that Jim Brewer was courageous enough to
a direct and make a decision. We found out that
it could be the greatest experience of your life. So
the message is to consider that part.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Right. So I had gone through it. So me and
Steve and we.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Talked about well, we talk about God, we talk about it,
talk about it off that you can't talk about him here.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
We should remind folks by the way that Steve OLIVERI
was the gentleman that you were visiting when you learned
of a choking incident of a seven year old gave
you the inspiration to invent the Life Act and see
if you've been on before. But let's remind the listener.
Did that surprise you at all? The tenacity, the sticktuitiveness,
the amazing mind of Arthur Leey.

Speaker 7 (06:59):
Oh well, it was like I've seen a bunch of
other fabulous invention from Missily.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
But that day that I told the story.

Speaker 7 (07:08):
The next day literally on my cell phone was pictures
of the gun that would pull.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
And he put a mask on.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
It was an early design workout and he and I'm
like what is that?

Speaker 3 (07:21):
And yeah, but if you whittle it down, that was
all because of Jackie, because I know a seven year
old die and who she could die and that's not
your daughter. Giant plans until the Devil and the Angel.
But just do this right, so you know, Steve would
face things. I'd tall, you know, get the camera. You
can have it on your cell phone. That worked great
because you could talk to your dad. My dad wasn't

(07:42):
right eventually.

Speaker 7 (07:43):
So off well, the story itself about the product was
an amazing thing because I have to write from that story.
Never got off track on it, and I was like, oh, whatever,
here we are today almost, you know, that's a great idea.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
Good look.

Speaker 7 (08:00):
Well with my dad often had some traction on it,
and he, you know, told me cameras put in the
house and this, and I did all that, and I
got conversations of you know, squirrels coming up to people
were raccoons were in the raccoons and we had people,
we had people living in there.

Speaker 6 (08:17):
We had some things back or squatters, slaters.

Speaker 7 (08:22):
How did they get in the a he thought, he
thought there was.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Now once again, there's a lot of challenges you're gonna face.
I watched Andy Griffith every day for twenty four hours,
and they didn't you have to go. I'm gonna watch
a lot of Andy grifferth today. And I watched it
at three o'clock in the morning when he had eggs,
and you know there.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Was holding him and carrying him and all those things.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
But if you look into what Brewer is saying, and
look what Steve and I went through, wouldn't change it
for the world.

Speaker 8 (08:54):
Right.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
And then here's the other thing.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
If you change that language you say I'm going to
do this, you'd be surprized at how many things can
help you, right, like the cameras or the mats that
beat the bedrails.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
It's all a matter of how you look at it.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
If you get to do it, if you have that opportunity,
you're absolutely right you take advantage of it because a
lot of folks I didn't have that opportunity with My
dad died tragically, so I didn't have the option of
making decisions spending time I did with my mom though,
and I know Pat you as well, almost the same story.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah my mom went pretty quick though, so but yeah
I would I would have done anything for it, whatever
she wanted to do.

Speaker 8 (09:31):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
But we have to we have to be conscious of
the new generation. And the sense of this may be
seem overwhelming. But the other thing I think he says
that so like goes it makes your head explode.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
How hard is it. You can wash them, you can
feed him. You know, we get so afraid.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
I had to take care of my parlem in the
last freaking five days of his life, and he went
fast and I was learning how to roll him on
a bed and clean him. But you know what, you
could do it right, and me and you would have numerate. Well,
we had a lot of fun with the people in
the ass, people coming in through the windows.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
Dogs came up the side of the house.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Yeah, it's intimidating when you started, like any job or
any shore right, and then you look back and go,
I was afraid to do that right. You know I
could do that again.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
But that's the dating glive message here that consider you're
a don't can't it right away?

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Don't say I have to put them somewhere right.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
You may right, obviously there are conditions and lives that
we cannot make that sacrifice. But if we go into
it saying, this could be the greatest experience of my life,
how can I do it? I can do cameras, I
can do neighbors, I can do friends, I can do
some aids. I can do something, you know, and we
start breaking it down and before you know it, it's

(10:48):
a manageable situation.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
And you know, I had some great moments sitting with
my dad.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
That's going to add into It's like you always want
more time with them when they're gone, right, you wish
you could have done this or done that. You're doing
the right thing. You're spending time with him. Sometimes you're
not getting anything back, but it's totally worth it, you know.
That's that's why you're there.

Speaker 6 (11:06):
Get that, of course, of course.

Speaker 7 (11:08):
But I find that as the time goes on and
then out around, it hurts more than an immediate like,
I find it hurts more now.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
But that's where you got offend it off with the
gratitude that you had them, And that's that's another episode.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
But here think of this.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Do you do you feel in that time when we
were you know, people in the attic were watching them
on cameras and all that take them to the nine
Lion do did you have moments like you and him riding.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
In the car. Oh, yeah, there was one that sticks
in your head.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
The day he died. Yeah, the day he died.

Speaker 7 (11:38):
He wanted to watch him at playing Philly was supposed
to wake him up, so you know, I looked at
the camera and he was on the bathroom floor and
I ran over there with my son and we did
ce PR called nine one one. He never came back,
you know, but that night you know that we called
the mortician, came in and they took them and as

(11:59):
a walking is he's coming down the stairs. You know,
it's kind of horrible. He's in a body bag and
stuff like that, and this beauty in the whole thing
because as we're walking out of the house, I'm next
to my brother, it is that. And we carted him
out of the house exactly what so he got his wish.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, Well, you're listening to Steve OLIVERI Arthur Lee, Patrick O'Rourke,
and I'm Rick Thatcher, and you're listening to the man
in the arena and we're going to be back with
more of caring for our elderly. And sorry, can't is
liable to talk about the website where you can get
your own copy.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
After this message, she started to choke on a piece
of candy. She wasn't breathing. Then Ray reached for the
life back and it saved her. She could have easily
died that day. A life back saved her life.

Speaker 10 (12:44):
What I would say is, don't need a life back
and not have it.

Speaker 7 (12:48):
Have a life back and hopefully never need it.

Speaker 3 (12:51):

the Life Back Radio Show.

Speaker 11 (14:38):
Here again are Arthur Lee and Rick Thatcher.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
How to Work, and Heidi Felix, vice president of Sales
Life Fact. Heidi, you've been talking to me about Ed
Kociuk for quite some time. I know that you guys
did something magical in Washington, but tell us about how
you met.

Speaker 12 (14:54):
Well, actually I met add through another charity called the
Peyton Walker Foundation. Julie Walker lost her daughter unfortunately in
Southern cardiac arrest. And I had the pleasure of working
with Bill Odoms, who was a gentleman who did CPR
training for them, and he looped me in with Ed
probably about two years ago. Right, I'm thinking Ed.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Spoil the surprise. Ed KOs joins us from the mountains
on a lake today.

Speaker 12 (15:21):
Everybody's great, amazing, He's just a dynamo. So Ed single
handedly coordinated the fifth annual National CPR and ad Rally
in Washington, d C. We spent three days together and
it was just amazing. I mean there was not a
dull moment, right, I mean we had no down time

(15:42):
from the meet and greet, getting a chance to meet
all the people that were participating. There was hundreds of
people that were survivors. There was people that were there
advocating for CPR and AEDs who unfortunately lost loved ones
like me and unfortunately my father did pass from Southern
cardiac arrest. Big advocate for hands on CPR and ADS

(16:02):
and so Ed goes across the entire country and trains
for his charity that is called Every Second Counts.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Every Second Counts, and Ed, I want you to bring
us back to March twelfth, twenty nineteen. That was it says,
a normal day, but far from it after what happened.

Speaker 6 (16:20):
So take it away.

Speaker 8 (16:21):
Sure. So back in that day, I was a normal
fifty one year old guy. I was trying to stay fifth.
I was running marathons, doing a lot of yoga, in
really good shape. A sudden kink arrest was the furthest
from my mind. I never even knew about it, and
I heard about it but didn't really understand it. That day,
I had run ten miles, I did some hot yoga,

(16:42):
and I was just craving Chick fil a.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
Who doesn't who doesn't care what it crave Chick fil A?

Speaker 8 (16:47):
Son just going there. My wife didn't want to go there,
so I talked to her a going, So we went.
We got about two o'clock or so. Everything was fine.
I was doing great, and all of a sudden I
got I got clammy. I got dizzy, and I said, oh,
I better get out of here. I need some water,
I need some fresh air, I need something. I started

(17:08):
to attempt to get up and I just collapsed, and
that's all I remembered.

Speaker 6 (17:13):
You went out, Then I.

Speaker 8 (17:14):
Went out, and then what everything has happened was been
told me from my wife, from the people that were there.
The girl, the young lady who saved my life, my Sarah,
my guardian angel I call.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
Her, Yes, chick fil.

Speaker 8 (17:30):
At Chick fil A, I'm a Chick fil A on
the floor.

Speaker 12 (17:33):
And she's a high school girl.

Speaker 8 (17:34):
At the time I collapsed on the floor, the manager yelled,
does anybody knows CPR? There was one girl in the kitchen,
my Sarah, Sarah van rocal I sat out there, jumped
on me, started doing compressions. She knew wasn't v FIB.
She was eighteen years old. She was in a medical program,
so she knew knew.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
What to do and the kind of walks you know
for those that aren't familiar, walks one through the steps.
But it is so great that someone had the confidence
and the training to know how to take care of
you and say with this.

Speaker 8 (18:08):
There was no AED there. Oh, she didn't compressions by
her no kidding for the EMS was called. She stayed
there by herself. No one else helped there five minutes
at least compressions. Fireman luckily got there in time, shocked
me three times. Nothing the fourth shock they got a
rhythm back.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
Incredible.

Speaker 12 (18:28):
We had the pleasure of meeting Sarah and she related
the story and she's now a paramedic, so she's a
pretty incredible person. She was there for the rally and
you know, she said it was definitely one of the
scariest things that she's ever experienced in her life.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
No, ed, at this point, are you in first aid
or do you have any training before this?

Speaker 8 (18:48):
No?

Speaker 6 (18:48):
No, Like I said, I'm this is just a normal
fifty one year old.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
Be out there. A lot of people don't think it's
going to happen to them, and so I didn't feel
there was a need to have to know it. But
my tune has changed, as you can see.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
Now. Is this your full time at this point? No,
every second time, Florida.

Speaker 8 (19:06):
I'm a real estate broker. After I survived, I did
some soul searching and trying to figure out where I
fit in in this full circle. And I realized when
I was in that chicks play wrest and it must
have been forty people, and that only one person came
to help me. And it really bothered me because I
was like, what is wrong with people? Why can't they

(19:27):
come and help? What if that was a brother, uncle, ron,
a cousin, right when you help, when you hope that
somebody would come help.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
We hear this a lot with life back stories of
saving in fact great previous.

Speaker 8 (19:40):
So I got involved with passing a law in Florida
where all high school kids have to know CPR. I
was on cloud and now I felt really good. It
was a whole bunch of US advocates in Florida. I
was on such a high. I went and bought a
camper and I went and I decided to go across
the country, all forty eight states and taught teach CPR
across the nation.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
Amazing.

Speaker 8 (20:00):
There was a wonderful trip, seeing things I had never
seen in my life. Because I always talked about going
on but I always say, hey, I got tomorrow. We
got another time for that.

Speaker 6 (20:08):
Yeah, tell people, we don't.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Tell us about this latest trip at Heidi joined you
on down in Washington, d C. As we were there
a couple of weeks earlier. But I love loved the story.

Speaker 8 (20:19):
Yeah. So five years ago I ended up in DC.
When I was doing my social I said, this is
the place that we have to make some noise so
people can start listening, especially at lawmakers that will understand
we need more A and DS. We need more CPR training.
And so the first year I went by myself. Second year,
I was by myself. Then the third year I finally

(20:39):
figured out if I was going to invite people. I
wanted to have a space. I wanted a parking, a
hotel so it would be an easy you know, when
people came, it was easy for everyone to participate. So
this is the fifth year. The first year we had
one hundred people. The third year we had one hundred.
Last year we had about one hundred fifty. This year
we had about two fifty. And it's growing every year.
And we do it every year June first or June

(21:01):
seventh for CPR a ED Awareness Week. They gave us
that platform and nobody's ever used it, so I said, well,
I don't use it, and we're gonna use it at
the nation's capital.

Speaker 12 (21:10):
And we're literally there. We're at the Capitol. And what
I loved is the congresswoman who came out that you
worked with on that bill, and she was talking.

Speaker 8 (21:18):
She was with the heart attack. She wasn't on that bill.

Speaker 12 (21:20):
Oh, she wasn't on that bill. She was on the
AED bill.

Speaker 8 (21:22):
Right. Yeah. I want more people in the public to
understand that you do not have to be certified to
save a life. You do not have to, you cannot.
People are afraid that afraid of AEDs. They look at
AEDs in a box and they don't think it's for
them to touch. People got to start understanding the EMS
response times anywhere from eight to twelve minutes at any

(21:43):
given city. I don't care where you go, but if
a person's down laying there for three minutes, four minutes,
what's going on? And if I won't calls because anybody's
doing anything in between, the reason I'm alive is because
that Mike Sarah jumped into action and started those compressions
and she kept the oxy flowing, a blood flowing and said,
luckily everything went well, but that's never the case, and

(22:04):
we need to change that by more bystanders helping out,
because once our paramedics and firemen get there, they'll take over.
But it's those important moments between that is what's going
to help change the survival rate.

Speaker 12 (22:17):
You were trying to set a record, right, how many
people did we train that day at the Washington Monument.

Speaker 8 (22:22):
We had about one thousand. Last year we did eighteen hundred,
And what that really consists of is to get people
involved in the urgency of getting down. We do a
minute of compressions five seconds in between get the next
people in there, so it's a continuous relay all day long.
We're just wanting people to know that there's an urgency.
If someone's playing on the ground, we got to move,

(22:43):
we got to act. We can't mess around. So that's
the whole idea behind it. It's great to get a record,
but it's the idea of getting the importance of awareness
out there well.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
And we help you raise awareness tonight and we will
pledge to continue with Heidi's help and with the Life
facteam behind you. We're going to be there with you
next year. And we thank you so much for joining

the Life Back Radio Show.

Speaker 11 (25:14):
Here again are Arthur Lee and Rick Thatcher.

Speaker 6 (25:17):
Steve Alberry and Patrick O'Regan.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Before the break we were talking about a very you know,
poignant moment.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
That's a real break party.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
But you know what taking that out.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Knowing your father, he was never more proud than that moment, right,
he told you what he wanted. The two boys did
it and he learned it for you want it. And
that's another thing we have to keep in mind. And
he Brewer alludes to it, and I know I faced
it because my dad was like please, you know, he
wanted me there, and he was very reluctant to tell

(25:49):
the people when he wound up loving it because he
getting food and stuff. But the fear right, I don't
want someone else in here. I don't want someone else
take care of me. And that dissipates as you kind
of show them the faith, like I'm here all right,
I won't be here Wednesday, so and so I don't
be here what you mean even and all those things

(26:10):
that we feel prevent us from doing this aren't so bad.
You know, it'll go away, Like you know, you you
felt that wave coming right, We talked about what was
coming next, but you know your father had left on
his own term pretty much told.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
You what was That's how that's how we lived.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
His life killed many people.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
I don't know if that's the appropriate time to bring
sports into this. I'm just saying it's.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
The Mets, Dodger fan. My dad was a Dodger fan.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
They became met fans, so we kind of had that
in our repertoire and talking about them and remembering them.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
But we talked earlier, Arthur about how long because we
were comparing stories about that time. And it's such a
great month. You said about a month month and a
half by myself, by yourself. Yeah, because my sister was
a doctor, she was on front. Like COVID, Yes, coldd
really affect out of.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
Us that she couldn't come over.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
Yeah, now did COVID effect your dads? We went in
and out of the house, and you know he stood there.
He didn't travel around or anything like that.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
But no, I mean my I would do anything so
that he would never have to go anywhere, you know
what I'm saying. I was, but even even towards the end,
I wasn't bringing him anywhere anyway.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
One of my memories was because I bought the fireboat.
Remember you can't so fireboat. It was a used fireboat
that had like a landing craft. Like when you d
day you.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Pretend like this is a common thing, like, yeah, we
all got fire boat's.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Going, remember the time we all took our fire I
have an airport fire truck, yellow not red.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
My dad loved to be a boat. He loved to
be on the water.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
And you know, when you're in a wheelchair, getting someone
the boat is next really difficult, you know, and dangerous.
So we foundly used fireboat that came down like a
landing craft and then me and Singer built a ramp
so we can sing him right on the boat. So
I pulled the boat up and it was cool as
the lights and everything. So yes, well, I said, Tom,

(28:19):
do you want to go for a ride a storm
at beach? You know, he was a viking. He really
was into that storming part. But we took him for
ride and Steve came to one of his I knew
it was get to the end, so I brought Steve
and Singer and my cousin and you know, we went
out and we.

Speaker 5 (28:35):
All would together.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
But on that ride, I have a picture of him
sticking his tongue out, so like you know, when you
fend off the sadness, you bring in those memories. And
I remember towards the end and I think it was
just me, him and Tony, Oh, I think Leam and
jacko there. I got him to the ocean, so he
saw the ocean, you know, and it was decent day.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
It was kind of calm. We just floated and checked
it out. But what you dropped out of a helicopter?
Did you design some kind of parachute? You know?

Speaker 5 (29:06):
He was into the Steve.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Steve was involved in the bubble over diag he was
going to have to drive.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
I was choking.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yes, you open up a cat works.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Let's remind the audience of all all that your dad
accomplished during his life, work, engineers, working, as you know.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
In the back of that is he put help, put
a man in the moon, anything as possible. It taught
me how to figure stuff out because no one figures
anything out.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
But yeah, it was a lot of great things.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
That has a daughter who's a doctor that you.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
And lunatic, but man who changed the world.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
But if along line that we we need to educate
is if you have the courage to take on this,
even if you do it as long as you can,
there are going to be these crazy benefits. Right, Steve's
dad did not die in a nursing home, you know,
with the snow on the TV by himself. Right, he

(30:02):
was there, He was there, his brother's there. That guy
went out smiling.

Speaker 5 (30:05):
You know.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
I held my dad's hand right when he left, and
I was good. He was his time and it was
cool and I had spent I had the joy of
spending so much time with him, much as when he
used to call me probably one hundred times a day.
Got challenging and I would get a call from Tony saying,
can you talk to your father? He hasn't booked you
a while, like he called me eighty seven times.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
I trust me. I'm talking to him. But so what,
so what right? Looking back? So what?

Speaker 3 (30:32):
And Brewer hits it on the head. Yes, and we
reached out to him. He couldn't even get back. But
I would love that one and talk about this again,
because the gift you get if you're willing to pursue,
if you take it and look at life back, you
look at something that seems just I'm not able to
do it.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
It's too much.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
I can't make him out of a product of my
garage and get him from a deep hot time into
a life day world.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
I did the Sue got I just did it. You
did it, and you were there. You've seen it all.
You saw my first ear whax sealed.

Speaker 2 (31:00):

Speaker 3 (31:19):
You know, I was we talked and you remember Davy
and Goliath, right and Brady?

Speaker 5 (31:26):
What baby that would be rued? So I was talking
to Pat.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
They said, you know, the show is kind of evolving
into taking the book kind of philosophy of how we
got to who we are, And I said, we grew up.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
What was your first show?

Speaker 4 (31:40):
And yet I mean the Brady Bunch of show, any
show that you learned a lesson from? Bugs Bunny Okay,
oh my god, I remember Saturday mornings watching those, watching
those shows in the road Runner at Yeah, but I
didn't really learn lessons from them. That's the first show
and we're watching them. But like the Brady Bunch, I mean,
to this day we still talk about, well, be up
someone's backyard, but like this is a Bobby Brady part.

(32:04):
We still have that in our heads.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Yeah, but think about it in that show, kind of almost.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Learning on TikTok, which is wrong, Which is terrifying because
when they sit the guys on the motorcycle standing up
looking really cool, they don't show the fourteen guys at
a day because they tried that stupid move. But then
even you try to watch a sitcom, now or a
show and their lessons are stuff I don't agree with
half the time, and I want to teach my kids.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Wait, episode, do you have an episode and you had
David and Glide, Brady Bunks, parts of Family on the
Fan anything, But you're just blank.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
And blank blank TAXI Well, certainly, I draw on all
the shows that you've mentioned, and a lot of the
ones you mentioned in the book. I think that the
lessons are there. I mean Partridge Family, Brady Bunch.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
But is it one of the hit right away? You remember,
like I remember Bobby Brady.

Speaker 6 (32:55):
Mom always said, don't play ball in the house.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
I mean, there are so many about I mean, I
think with the Brady Bunch would be the most.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Do you remember your face were sinding He's getting picked on,
like and mister Braid's trying to be cool and stuff.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
And they my my brother Jimmy beat up a kid
one time pretty badly. He was picking up my brother Michael. Yeah,
I almost put him in the hospital. He comes home
and we didn't have a dad, So my my mother
and sister in the kitchen and my sister's yelling and screaming.
You know, violence never just leads to more violence. This
is ridiculous. You could have killed that kid. And my
sister leaves the room and my mother goes, did you
get him good? She was like my father to hand

(33:34):
and I when you when you get someone you hurt.

Speaker 5 (33:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
My in in the book is the three o'clock high story, right,
And that was the way it was.

Speaker 5 (33:43):
You know, Yeah, you might get in him.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Takes courage, and look.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Folks were not navocating violence, ravigating standing up for.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
Yourself and unless everyone should getting one fist fight in
their life before they're twenty or seven. But I got
too many.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Yeah, well you equate that three o'clock high sorry to
an actual event. Now, when I read your book, sorry
can't is a lie? I identified not only with the
references the shows, but also the people.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
So I knew exactly who you were talking about.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
You knew he was annoying, You were told, well, you
were told, hey, after school, this is going down, and
you were ready knowing you, I absolutely know that you
were ready. You already prepared, You knew it was going
to happen.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
But I wanted him beat up. I forgot everyone was
going to beat him up. I said, I got to
fight with this kid, because that's not fair. But here's
the thing too that is relevant to what we did
with our dad's courage. Right, people say, oh, you know, no,
don't get them fight, Well, you gotta have courage to
getting them fight. You have to have courage, right, There
is no you could pretend you don't like violence. All right, Well,

(34:45):
then I punch in the face. You know that you're
going to be scared, but not that we have gay violence.
But when you think about taking care of our elder parent,
were afraid, right, And in the book we talk about
fear and that great things happen when you pass through fear.
And you have to determine the fear of jumping off
the Brooklyn Bridge with I'm afraid to do this. I'm

(35:08):
afraid to take care of my elder parent. So we
have to address that too. But we have to remember
some of the greatest things in life happened because you're
afraid of them.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Well, even so, I always tell my sons, if you're
gonna lay in bed staring at the ceiling and going
I should have punched that guy in the face, you
probably should have punched them in the face. Back to you, though,
like if you didn't take care of your father and
he passes away, you'd be like, I should that would
hurt more. I should have took care of him. I
should have done that.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Well, I remember copping on fighting third grade.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
It was the last time ever because it was I'd
rather get beat up than sit there and go man,
I should have should have done that.

Speaker 5 (35:40):
But you don't have a good violence when you're when.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
You're contemplating the challenge of taking care of your parents,
right that, Like you would be like, and I see
you do it.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
You know, get the camera, get the mat.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
You got this. These guys in the attic. Put a
camera in the attic and show them I'm not there.

Speaker 6 (36:00):
You got it.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
I told you that we should hang out in the
attic with them. Yes, you wanted to come home, and
I thought that would be fun.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
You guys did confirm there was one, right, No, there's guys.

Speaker 7 (36:09):
Yeah, they were really guy, the Pagans.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
You were making sure beautiful lessons.

Speaker 7 (36:15):
You see beautiful things to your parents that you never
saw when they would take the area right, because now
you're taking came.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
They took care of you. But you gotta laugh. Oh
you can't, you can't. There are funny Paul.

Speaker 7 (36:27):
Dad's got people in el Sorry tell, the shot to
tell was now a little bit.

Speaker 6 (36:30):
Have the party done by?

Speaker 8 (36:32):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (36:32):
Like okay, Paul talked to you later. Well you had
Paul and you had Lisa.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
I'm interested to hear because sometimes this stress of this
situation drives families apart.

Speaker 6 (36:41):
It sounds like both of you got closer to Oh yeah, definitely,
definitely at a laugh.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
But once again, when you're contemplating this, you kind of
see who's in, who's out look and someone's staying at
Jones Beach Hotel that coming in. I beat up by
twelve guys there, right, So not everyone jumps it, and
you kind of want to make sure and not have
animosity because.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
Not everyone can jump in. Everyone you know.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Could say you would. We've got lots of roles, but
the one on the batch party it's awesome. But anyway,
well that's another show. But the point of the matter
is courage is you can understand that, right, some people
just don't have the capability, and that's fine. You don't
want to animosity, say I understand, but it's got to

(37:24):
be talked about and got to be felt, and maybe
there's limited rolls and there's no animosity. Remember the big
picture is the greatest, one of the greatest things you
ever did right.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
And whoever, you don't get many chances you have to
care for on their way out.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
But look, the part of the Davy and Goliath is
think about that fact that it could be good.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
It could be the greatest moment in your life.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
Probably won't be always silver linings. You learn from everything,
ain't that's true.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
But a lot of people won't attempt it right because
they're using all these things that make sense.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
I'm shot at. I don't know how to do it right.
So take them minute. We just were what say, can
you do this? I could do this?

Speaker 4 (38:07):
Like like you said, you like, don't hate them for that,
just be like, oh they don't have it in them.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
No, absolutely, seeing this huge parallel between fights and Karen parallels.

Speaker 5 (38:16):
Yeah, yeah, so how's a fact camp, I'm dying to
know it's going all right.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
I have a girl named Heather. She must be about
twenty three years old.

Speaker 8 (38:24):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
I talk to her three times a week. She's so
excited and everything super. He's probably doing a great shot.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
Yeah is that like depressing?

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Almost too bubblic?

Speaker 6 (38:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (38:33):
Yeah, I take it easy, you talk away.

Speaker 4 (38:36):
Yeahs like well, I've already I was already down like
twenty pounds, right, knew that eight pounds?

Speaker 5 (38:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Kill on this answer to someone you have to jump
around and stuff or eating? When is it my exercise? Anyway?

Speaker 8 (38:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (38:48):
I know you did?

Speaker 4 (38:48):
You almost no carbs, all your carpsure like festivals and fruits.
They give me these supplements. They send you these packages
of stuff. You know, if you're hungry, eat this.

Speaker 6 (38:56):
What's the name of the program?

Speaker 4 (38:58):
We have heaven aged.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Let's have heave No not tonight, I'm calling now, but
we should have coming.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
Because the heather weight, much like we.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Tracked the live saved and we're coming up on a
big milestone.

Speaker 6 (39:15):
We could we could also track.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
Which one five thousand first?

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Actually, mister three k uh, keep us a breast some
that's why not.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
I hope, I hope you save one hundred people for
every pounds.

Speaker 6 (39:31):
We'll have to have a chart.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
But it's super and she's very excited. But I went
back to the Brady bunch another one I thought I
was remember when Greg Brady got hurt and he couldn't
play on the football team, but he was the photographer, Yes,
and he changed the game because he got the picture
of the guy's feting. So the lesson, but the lesson
there is, you know, if you're not the star any way,
you can help help.

Speaker 5 (39:51):
Freaking absolutely, And we all remember that the picture and
they and.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
They kept blowing it up, blowing up, and actually the
angle changed bunny foot.

Speaker 6 (39:59):
Yeah, that's some camera.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
That's a huge point because think of the subtleness that
no one would ever bring that to light.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Be part of the team. Be part of the winning team.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
You'll tell you how, and to show how it could
affect it, not just be part of the team.

Speaker 5 (40:14):
Bill, What does that mean? All right?

Speaker 6 (40:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (40:16):
And who knows who Bill is?

Speaker 4 (40:17):
You don't know, But a family is a team. Be
part of the team.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Yeah, everyone, and you never know. We all to do
what role you play. But how the heck do we
keep that message going? Other than the Brady Boats episode
from forty years ago.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
I don't remember much Partridge family, but I remember lessons,
But I remember Brady.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
There's a lot of business lessons in the about the.

Speaker 6 (40:39):
Blurred lines between Yeah, Danny.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
What was going on around the house.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
Imagine if we went into Gogin's Island.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
There's so much they couldn't patch a boat. But they
get intation. It's unbelievable.

You authored the book Sorry Can't is a lie, I'm
going to say, within the last couple of years, but
it really illustrates your path and also lays out a
blueprint for others that can create their own greatness.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
You think about it. You know what we've done as
a team.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
Eleven years ago, I went in my garage, I heard
of a choking death and decided to make a difference,
and throughout that time there were lessons that came in
that were learned, and there were parts of my past
that gave me the foundation to persevere, to handle adversity,
to come up with solutions. You know, the journey has

(43:22):
been incredible, But part of me says, not only are
we saving lives with Life Act, but if we share
our generations experiences, that maybe we can help other people
in that avenue too, and it'll be you know, it'll
be kind of personal. Like we all develop our foundation ourselves.
There's nothing that we can take. We can try and

(43:43):
guide ourselves, but internally we got those mechanisms, those instances,
those lessons that drive us forward.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Right now, stepping back, because paramount to this whole life
back story is the origins, the genesis of how Life
Act became a reality. So back in going to say
twenty twelve, when you created the company, tell us about
the inspiration the story.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
Well, you know, I was in the book, it's the
Wingman chapter. But I was visiting my friend Stevie, and
he was mom was in the hospital getting an operation,
and I just was keeping him company. Right, I wanted
to go home with my pal. I said, all right,
I'm going to stop it and keep him company. And
he points across at the hospital and I'll never forget

(44:28):
the look. It was a steel gurney and you know,
like a hospital could be a cold environment. And he says,
last time I was here, there was a seven year
old on that gurny dead. I was like, right away,
my daughter's seven, so b perk up. And he says
she choked to death and they tried all the procedures.
Nothing worked. And then he went into talking about the

(44:51):
wailing of the parents, the mother on the floor that
was just like Jello, the staff, him and his mom,
and that started been into me, that pain, and I
was like, well, I took the course. When Jackie was born.
I felt comfortable that if she did choke, I could
save her. And I didn't feel that after that moment.

Speaker 6 (45:11):
Because you heard this, did more you learned of the stats?

Speaker 3 (45:14):
Yeah, and it's well that night I went home and
I said my hope was I could buy something right,
I could just get something be done. I was finishing
up my career. I was ready to retire, and nothing
that existed felt comfortable. There's plenty of suction devices, but
they have a tube and I know I'm going to
be freaking out, you know kind of situation. Well, you

(45:37):
got minutes, and then that's when the research started, right.
Five thousand people a year, one child every five days,
four minutes, response time seven minutes, and all this information.
Never knew this in a million years, never even thought
of it. Choking's the fourth leading cause of accidental death.
Who the heck knew that?

Speaker 2 (45:58):
This portion of the show we normally reserved for mister
three thousand, Ray Priby, Cape Coral, Florida. He's called mister
three thousand because he was the three thousand life saved
his daughter was He saved his daughter on the Florida Highway.
And he tells us each week all the great stories,
all the great numbers, give us the tally, but can't
be with a sych family.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
He's so perfect, is mister God gave us that one?
Because you know when he even when whenever I've been
with them and he tells a story about saving his story,
he gets emotional. He takes his show up and talk
about stuff, roll like he was on the Academy Awards.
I mean, the guy is amazing, but luckily his replacement.

Speaker 6 (46:37):
Oh my goodness, is pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
Dude too.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
I can't say enough great things. We don't have time
to say enough great things about mister Shane foresman, how
you doing, sir?

Speaker 3 (46:48):
We do a great so quick quick story about shape
the last day on our adventure that Steve.

Speaker 6 (46:54):
Could alive multi venture fine.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
But so we were out riding and I chose to
I took the bike and I was like crashing.

Speaker 5 (47:01):
I'm like, I'm done. I'm gonna ride with Jackie.

Speaker 3 (47:03):
So and thank god I did by side, side by side.
So he's riding in front of us. He comes up
over a hamp hits that they boom. Now I'm pretty
sure that the people in New York heard that. Yes, right,
I mean we're not talking to Louis Earth moved Yoh yeah.
The car shook and stuff smoke. So you know, he

(47:24):
knocks the wind at him. We get over to him.
You know, I'm like, dude, you know I'll ride the back. No,
I'm right, I'm making I don't want you to do it.
So the guy crashes, knocked himself silly, probably injury show
that he said, no, I'm going to finish this. So
when you noticed someone that has that kind of courage

(47:44):
and determination and commitment to what they said.

Speaker 5 (47:48):
Once again, these are easy things to say. But when
you see.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Someone crash and knock on themselves senseless and get back up,
that's then you know they're read. They're going to be
next to you. And he was like, sorry, I just
I like telling about when you crashed.

Speaker 5 (48:03):
It's funny.

Speaker 14 (48:04):
Heck of a catapult.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Well, you got to actually see me take two crashes
because every time I passed my crash.

Speaker 8 (48:11):
That is true.

Speaker 14 (48:12):
Those boulders saved your lives though, sir.

Speaker 8 (48:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:15):
And then when I the cactus too.

Speaker 3 (48:17):
Both times I went Win's Mau, I wound up in
the cactus or a bold and better news.

Speaker 6 (48:22):
Shane receives an award for s RRO of the Year, say.

Speaker 14 (48:26):
Florida second place, second place, I would say.

Speaker 6 (48:30):
First runner up. You know there was That's fine. I
was glad to see, Like.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
When I was on my way down to support Shane
and whether he's going to win this award, he already won, right,
he already won. So he's done so much for the
state of Florida, so much for his community, so much
for the life.

Speaker 8 (48:44):
Fact.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
I just thought, if there's someone else who he didn't know,
who this person, this other SRO was, if there's someone
else that's doing half of what Shane's doings, that's good
news for the state of Florida's good news for the world.
And and we did and it was it was great
to hear all the great things that this young lady accomplished.
And Shane, it's just nothing but well better news for

(49:06):
next year.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
And last thing coming in runner up. Like you said,
good second is not the appropriate term. So we went
down and we did a charity ride and we donated
life back to the Pensacold Police Department. And then afterwards,
you know, we got all done and I was lucky
enough to stay at his cool house and we were
sitting on the porch and he says, you know, I said,
what's you know, school resource officer you know in the

(49:30):
military officer and everything, and he said, you know, there
was a school resource officer that had gotten a letter
from a kid that said he was going to kill himself,
and the school resource officer talked, you know, embraced him
and took him in. And years later the kid wrote
and said, you really saved my life. And Shane said,
that's why I want to do it. I want to

(49:51):
be able to influence people. Right then my asstand up.
But then that's like getting in a fight with a
guy who jumps in. That guy's doing it for the
right reason, and he takes on life back like it's
savage because he knows he can make it different. How
many did we You got saved lives already?

Speaker 8 (50:04):
Right? Uh?

Speaker 6 (50:05):
Confirmed?

Speaker 14 (50:06):
We had the one from Chipley that choked on a
chicken nugget. Actually went down there by myself that day
because nobody else could go. And there's just a small
little PD on the Panhandle, Florida. I think they have
fifteen officers.

Speaker 8 (50:18):
Uh.

Speaker 14 (50:19):
And the chief email me back literally two weeks later
and said they had their first save with it and
was very appreciative.

Speaker 6 (50:28):
Procept in thousands.

Speaker 5 (50:29):
He's just like Heidi. Heidi and saves. I co consider her.
A lot of us have our own saves.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
That's his safe absolutely, and you know next year he's
going to be the super dupid best SRO.

Speaker 5 (50:40):
Ever.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
Guys, what is SRO.

Speaker 3 (50:45):

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Okay, so Shane big shoes to field tonight, Paray, did
Donna Yeisley prep you and send you the information that
you need to share with the audience.

Speaker 11 (50:58):

Speaker 8 (50:59):

Speaker 6 (50:59):

saved worldwide, two thousand, six hundred and sixty four of
those are little people, children.

Children, and highlighted saved the week.

Speaker 14 (51:14):
Save of the Week is a seventy one year old
male was saved by Ohio Fire and ems when he
choked on a chicken tender called me a total obstruction.
The Heimlich was attempted, the patient was unconscious. Life back
was used multiple times and successfully.

Speaker 6 (51:30):
This lone is of obstruction.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
That's two heroes. Our hero have heroes that got lf
back in there. Don't choke people out there.

Speaker 15 (51:39):
We do have a little story to go with it,
if you want to hear the story that goes with it,
So said the seventy one year old male was unresponsible
at the time of the arrival and hypoxia due to
patient skin color bluish and purple.

Speaker 14 (51:53):
Crews used life back on arrival. Family performed the Heinlich
with no success. Prior to the arrival, life back successfully
