(01:12):
in the Arena as we celebrate all the great Moms.
I'm joined with Arthur Lee, CEO and inventor of Life BacT,
Heidi Felix, Vice President of Sales and Special Guests, Town
Supervisor of Oyster Bay, Joseph Selliz.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, I appreciate you, O. We love coming on today.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
It was fun talking right before you came out. How
we're also born and Brad Massapica. You know, same schools,
Junior High. And always appreciate you being here, your support,
what you do for our town. It's an honored to
have you here.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
It's easy to support the people in this community and
throughout the town because they're people who excel at what
they do. People work on saving lives and making a difference,
and Arthur Lee, I mean, who exemplifies that more than
you with Life Back. I remember not too long ago
at your event with the three thousand life saved and

(02:08):
that was Maya and yeah we'll.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Hear from mister three thousand we call them.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
But now they're almost at four thousand.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I think you said almost approximately twenty many lives safe.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Think about those numbers and think.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
About beyond those triple beyond family, the communities.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
So what you've done with life back, what you do
in the community, all of you are tremendous leaders and
I appreciate you all.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
We love coming on today.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Well, you know, I saw saw my Emily Dickenson post
the other day, Emily Dickinson, and it said if I
could stop one heart from breaking, and that was the poem.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I suppose. It's called, if I can stop one heart
from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I
can use one life the aching, or cool one pain,
or help one only person into happiness again, I shall
not live in vain. And that when we it just
hit me because you know how things pop up. It's
almost a little godwink to me. But when I was two,

(03:14):
I was sitting there saying, Okay, four thousand people saved,
eight thousand parents. What for eight twelve sixteen thousand grandparents?
They've had ten friends, that's forty thousand. So this little quote,
if I can stop one heart from breaking, and you
know we've saved fifty thousand hearts from breaking.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
I would say even more.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, And it's I just enjoy when I get a
godwink and something like this comes up. Right when I'm
pondering the impact I'm saving four thousand lives and the
depth that it really is. And you know, like I said,
with you, you've always been there and that means so
much because you know, we're a team and we need

(03:56):
leaders with courage, you know, And today we were really
the show was a appreciation of moms, but it kind
of stuck with me because that would be my mom,
you know, and.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Think of all those moms who were saving you and
all of the people who went on to do great
things and help others. We were talking a moment about leadership,
clearly from Theodore Roosevelt, one of the top leaders in
Long Island, says, and it was your vision, it was
your hard work, your tenacity to keep this going. Today

(04:29):
we have three adult daughters, and I've learned that the
number one item on the baby registry at all of
these showers is the life back equipment. And it's so
important to buy. It's so important to have, and what
a gift that makes because it says you care from
your heart, deep in your heart, so God bless you.

(04:52):
The success happens for people who have the right vision,
the right motivation in their hearts, and of course the
heart work behind it to make it work a lot
of work.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, my name is Rick Ftcher, along with Arthur Lee,
Heidi Felix, and town supervisor Joseph Saladino. And we're going
to hear about our moms and especially Heidi being an
allSome mom. But we have connected via the internet two
outstanding moms in the life BAC family. We want to
first bring on Hope Jones. Hope Jones, we celebrate you,

(05:23):
and I know Arthur went up from when I started
sung nothing but praises of both you and Alicia's coming
up a little bit later, and I've gotten to know
you in a much smaller way, but just so inspirational
all that you do. Thank you so Happy Mother's Days.
We as we approach it, thank you very much. Yeah,
can you talk about some of the work you're doing
since briefly recap you know how you work with Brandon

(05:46):
the beautiful son take it away?

Speaker 7 (05:48):
Yep, Well, my son is he's twenty eight now, but
when he was nineteen, he was in a really bad
car accident and he sustained a TBI and through his recovery,
I mean, he's through so much with his recovery. But
we actually have saved Brandon's life twice, not once, but
twice with the Life Back And that's obviously how we

(06:10):
became part of the Life Back family and gotten to
know Arthur and Heidi and Donna and tell me just everybody.
And since we actually have opened up a nonprofit my
husband and I called Embracing Hope, and we actually got
a grant and we purchased one hundred life facts and
Arthur generously donated one hundred on.

Speaker 8 (06:32):
Top of that to be able to give out to.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
People in our community because we live in a really
rural area. We're in upstate New York and it's a
little small town and not a lot of access to
much of anything out here. So we were able to
give them to like the schools and you know, the
small midget league and you know, the sporting groups and

(06:55):
just and individuals and the restaurants and stuff around here.
So we've been able to kind of spread the Life
Back around to people who wouldn't otherwise even know about it.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
What do you think is And I've come across this often,
how do you be a super mom? Like there's something
deeper in moms that have a strength that is beyond
human and you know, I've been blessed to be up
in your little town and I adore it. You know,
the day we spend on the rain and the cold
on the South Street, but it's just has charm and

(07:28):
you can tell the warmth and the concern and the friendships.
You know. But there's something to moms that have a strength.
Do you ever feel that or do you ever think that? Like,
how do you persevere something about mom?

Speaker 9 (07:44):
I think so.

Speaker 7 (07:45):
I don't think there's one way to be like a
perfect mom, but I do feel like there's so many
ways to be a good mom, and then when you're
a good mom, it just goes from there, you know.
And I also believe that it's part of how you're raised.
Like my mom was an exceptional she is an exceptional mom.
I still have my mom, thank God, and I would

(08:05):
pick her time and time again, because there isn't one
thing that that woman hasn't done for my brother and
I and I just feel like it.

Speaker 8 (08:13):
Was just something I don't know.

Speaker 7 (08:15):
And when you come so close to losing your child too,
I feel like that gives you the drive to be
an even better mom.

Speaker 8 (08:23):
If that makes sense, Well.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
It does make sense, and I was curious because you know,
that's interesting that your mom was strong, you're strong, and
that you did take that terrible moment and use that
strength to take care of your son and then not
only that, to go after and take care of others.
Do you have a favorite mom moment? Like, is there
some moment where you just filled yourself up with being

(08:47):
a mom?

Speaker 7 (08:48):
There was a lot of moments, but I just think
that I don't know, there's so many, so many moments,
but I can honestly say, like I think just seeing
the best part of me being able to I guess
I got to say the best thing was the day
that my son actually became a dad.

Speaker 8 (09:10):
Think, yeah, he was young, but you know what, he
was a good dad.

Speaker 7 (09:14):
He was an exceptional father, and just that moment was like, wow,
it really changes something.

Speaker 10 (09:22):
I well, Hope and I really on a lot of levels.

Speaker 11 (09:24):
Obviously I had I was in a car accident and
my boyfriend was hit by a car and traumatic brain injury.
So Hope and I relate on a lot of levels.
But not only that, you're so remarkable that you also
have helped to stay lives. You forgot to talk about
your friend.

Speaker 10 (09:40):
Yes, to share this story.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
Well, my friend, the one with the restaurant, is that
the one you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
The rest friend.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
So I have a friend here in our little small
town and she owns a little cafe and it's called
Honey's Cafe, and I had actually went there to do
actually a podcast with her, and she said to me,
you know, I got to tell you something.

Speaker 8 (10:09):
And I go, what's that? And she goes, I had
to use the Life back. The life BAC saved my
life today.

Speaker 10 (10:14):
And I'm like what.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
She well, I'm standing there, it's an empty place, and
she's like, you know, I have the life back here
because obviously she has a cafe and people choking and
things like that, and she said she started choking and
she goes. At first, I kind of panicked and she goes,
but then I remembered.

Speaker 8 (10:32):
That then I had the life back and where I
had it.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
She goes, and I grabbed it and she said, and
I saved myself with it, and it was just cool.

Speaker 8 (10:41):
Yeah, it was really cool. It was like, oh my gosh.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
I was like, So, I was so thankful that she
actually had that and was able to save herself because
she was alone.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Well, I think that in those like I look back
to that time. I handed one to the guy sentoss
and he saved this kid. Oh my got like four
now from the elder care homes that you put it
in at the Bristol's jown. This is for Joe. Joe
is one of our first he's our town supervisor. And
I basically had virtually nothing and Joe was there for

(11:14):
me and he's always been there for me. And we're
just not at to have them.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
But how can you not.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
I know, this is such an amazing cause it is
so amazing and we hear these stories over and over
and God bless it's another case of God winking.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yes sir, but we're very happy.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yes, we're supervisor of the town of Boys Toby, the
home of Theodore Roosevelt, the Man in the Arena and
his home Sagamore. Hell's appreciated, very much appreciated, moms, and
do we throughout the town. We have our women a
Distinction program coming up on Wednesday, May fourteenth at sayasid
Woodbury Park and we honor different women who are great

(11:53):
examples and run businesses and not for profits. Or one
person from Farmingdale she spent her whole life being the
head or the helper of every organization. The volunteer extraordinary
and they will share certain qualities that Mom share. They
put everyone else before themselves. They show their love with

(12:15):
assistance and advice and help in every way.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
I had a guy at the Joe Piscopal event come
up to me and he says, you know, can I
take a picture with you? And I'm like okay, and
then he goes on to tell me that he used
to life Act to save his daughter.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
You know.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
And it was just totally out of the blue like that,
and I had like this wave come over me, and
you know, I got like a chill, did you get
that feeling?

Speaker 8 (12:39):
Like yeah, I actually I actually grabbed her and I
just hugged her. I said, I'm so glad.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
So I started crying.

Speaker 7 (12:46):
You know, and she's like, thank you so much. If
it wasn't for you guys, you know, putting it out
there and stuff, we wouldn't have known anything about this.
And honestly, she probably would have died. She was there
by herself. And I actually had another friend of mine
that reached out to me today and she works at
Wyoming's Children's Conference. It's like a children's home, and she

(13:07):
actually just started her job there and she was doing
some kind of a presentation and she's like a social worker,
kind of like a coordinator, like a service coordinator. And
she messaged me today and she's like, what is the
name of the choking device that saved Brandon's life? And
I was like, it's life back and I sent her
the website and she's like, thank you so much, because

(13:29):
she said, I am like giving them the spiel on
it right now. So and she she asked if we
could come and do like a presentation or something for her.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Well, you know, the tragedy that happened to your son
is obviously we don't know why. We'll find out when
we see God. But to think that it's put you
in the realm of helping so many others, right and
raising awareness to the challenges he faces. So I don't
know why it happens, and I don't know why that

(13:57):
and the me, but those are godwinks of what your
perseverance has done. You know, there's a woman that's life,
you say, and now you got others reaching out and
there's probably more. And in tribute to moms, that's moms right.

Speaker 10 (14:12):
Well, her name Fitzer.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yes, it's all about hope, embracing hope. Right, that's the
organization and we're it comes back. We're talking to Hope Jones. Uh,
my name is Rick Facher, along with Arthur Lee, Heidie Felix,
and town supervisor Joseph Aladino. And we'll be back and
thank you so much.

Speaker 9 (14:33):
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 8 (14:34):
It was good seeing everybody.

Speaker 10 (14:37):
She started to choke on a piece of candy.

Speaker 12 (14:39):
She wasn't breathing.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Then Ray reached for the life back and it saved her.

Speaker 13 (14:44):
She could have easily died that day. A life back
saved her life. What I would say is, don't need
a life back and not have it. Have a life
back and hopefully never need it.

It's going to be Island's newest pro soccer team run
by Jim killing Me, a very experienced player manager and

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yep, it came from a great mom. And as I
transition great, I want to ask heie, he tell me
about when you met Alicia Malone.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
And her y.

Speaker 11 (19:10):
So we did a boat trip on the Lauren Christie
through the Great South Bay and it was spectacular and
we had a wonderful time and we.

Speaker 10 (19:20):
Got a chance to really get to know Carter. He
was just the cutest thing.

Speaker 11 (19:25):
And you know, we had talked to Matt a couple
of there that you spent your name for the first.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Time and which number, which number? Save was the celebrating or.

Speaker 11 (19:35):
Was it, oh my god, we're only doing four I
want to say it was four hundred. So Alisha told
me her story about Carter, and you know, obviously the
incident that had happened, and you know, as a mom,
it's your biggest fear right when that happens. And I
had a similar situation to my son that when he choked,
and it was so scary when it happens, and you know,

(19:56):
your instincts kicked in.

Speaker 10 (19:58):
As a mom, like I'm not going to let him
die in my watch. And I think that was Alicia's.

Speaker 11 (20:02):
But what I love about Alicia and she'll probably tell
the story about the baby Registry.

Speaker 10 (20:06):
So with that being said, I want to introduce Alicia Malone.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
Do you remember the boat trip? How many saves that was?

Speaker 9 (20:13):
It's four hundred, ye.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Four hundred. What number was Carter?

Speaker 5 (20:17):
He is?

Speaker 16 (20:18):
I'm gonna look at the thing, hold on.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
His right number.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Amazing, not that long ago?

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Right? She was?

Speaker 9 (20:30):
He was two six next month?

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Are you kidding me? I don't think I like it.
I know what happened.

Speaker 10 (20:38):
She's got the cutest little girl who was like a
mini me of Alisha.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
Yeah, she's literally so that one. It's another supermom, my supermom.
And why didn't you tell us about saving Carter and
then just tell us, like what what is it? What
is the best part of being a mom?

Speaker 16 (20:56):
Well, to tell you about saving my little boy. I
tell you that, like every time I have a special moment,
I go thank God for Arthur Lee, because without you
there would be no hymn. And you know something so
simple like he had an ice cube and nobody knew
he picked it up off the ground and must have
like fall out of the refrigerator.

Speaker 9 (21:15):
On the machine and nobody picked it up. And he
picked it up and shoved it in his mouth and
choked and.

Speaker 16 (21:21):
Like, you're right, Heidie, like your mom instinct just kicks in.
Like it was like hyper focus, like Matt, take him,
flip them over backflows, and I'm running to get the
life back as fast as i can, like and I'm
just like not going crazy.

Speaker 9 (21:34):
Like everybody always says to.

Speaker 16 (21:36):
Me, why, like how did you do it? Why were
you not freaking out? I'm like I don't know, Like
I had a job to do, and that was it.
Like I was doing my job saving my kid because
this ain't happening while I'm here.

Speaker 9 (21:45):
It's not happening.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
What yah, And talk about Alicia, how you came upon
the life back? Because I love this story.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
And it was I was.

Speaker 16 (21:55):
On my baby here registerry and I'm looking around. It's
like suggesting all the little things that you could have
in your stroller and car seats and like baby carriers
and stuff like that, and I look and I'm like,
what's that thing? I'm like, what's a little plumcher thing?
Like let me click on that? So I click on it.
I look and it says, you know, it's a choking device.
I was like, oh, go, I have to have to
have this, Like I'll put it on my registry and

(22:16):
nobody's gonna know what the heck it is. I was like,
I put it there like whatever, I'm gonna buy it
for myself, Like I don't want anybody but buy it
for me.

Speaker 9 (22:23):
But yeah, I bought it for myself.

Speaker 16 (22:24):
And then now with every baby shower I go to,
that is my gift.

Speaker 9 (22:28):
I'm like, here, I'm giving you this.

Speaker 16 (22:30):
I hope you never have to use it, but please
promise me that you're gonna practice. You're gonna use it,
play with it, do what you gotta do, little parlor tricks.

Speaker 9 (22:38):
And I show my friends too.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
Listening to this conversation, I have this question for those
of you who are experts because you were let into
it by fate and the expert himself. When someone gets this,
whether it's a gift or they're smart enough to purchase
one to protect their loved ones, where is the best
place in the house to place it?

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Where do you tell them? Is it on a shelf
in the kitchen? And is there a suggestion that you get.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Where do you get yours? A lot of people next
to the fire extinguishing In my house, I have it
hanging on the everywhere the dog leash and the life
back two books my dogs. But it's a visual. But
that's a good question, and I do believe mostly right.

Speaker 10 (23:21):
Kitchen parents, some people say pantry.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Do you remember Jen Glenn? She had it on top
of her fridge and she's short. She could get it,
get the boy the little step ladder to run up
and get.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
It where it is, have it and know where it
is and be familiar with.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
And hope we got to use raised line and leashes line.
So what's what's the best part? Beat them all fun times?

Speaker 16 (23:49):
Like I mean just today, I'm sitting in between them
on the couch, Cally on one side, Carter on the other,
and they're both kicking me like crazy, and like I'm
tickling them and I'm getting like a kick to the
face over here and I'm gonna kick to the rib
cage from over here.

Speaker 9 (24:02):
But I'm tickling.

Speaker 16 (24:04):
I'm cracking up, like I'm getting tied the two of them,
and they're hysterically cracking up like and I thought, how
is this?

Speaker 9 (24:11):
Like I get to sit here and just tickle.

Speaker 16 (24:12):
Them and like laugh and crack up with them all
day along, like this is fun.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
That's us. We We were wrestling once with my mother
and we broke her ribs. We will over. We were
playing in the living room. We were all like kind
of wrestling around also here and she's like, we broke bob.
She was a good bob. But she she was like, oh, well.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Your sister was involved with that too.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Yeah, we were. I think we're doing it.

Speaker 10 (24:39):
The kids do that. They tagged team.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
And a gang on you wrestling with barb. We broke
her rib is.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
So many good memories growing up in our communities, so
many good memories everyone has with their families, all their
loved ones. But we also know how quickly someone can
get into a real bad situation, whether it's from wrestling
around or whatever you might be doing as kids, because
kids are going to be kids. When you mentioned putting
the life back next to the fire extinguisher, they're really equal.

(25:08):
Two items every home needs and every opportunity to protect
your property and especially the most important item your family.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
You love me, you know that when when I first
started researching this, and I was like, oh my goodness,
you know you almost see the life act more than
the fire extinguisher, right, your child is more likely to choke,
and obviously, God forbid you could leave. Can't leave cho
you can't leave choking. And that's when you hear the
supermoms kick in because they realize their hearts, realize their

(25:38):
souls and their brains, realize they got to do something.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
I loved what she said.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Every mom can identify with the anxiety or worry over
their children and how you might be in a situation
where you can't do it.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
You can't do it. But what did you say?

Speaker 5 (25:51):
It's not gonna happen on my watch. I'm not gonna
let any anxiety get in the way. I'm going to
do the job and save my child. Kudos to you
and every mom you.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
Know that that uh, White post farms in the rain.
I think of that day. That was fun.

Speaker 9 (26:07):
That was that was so much fun. I love that day.
That was great. And then you and I walking back
to the car and it's pouring.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
So what it was a fun day. It was there
was it was a good day for it was perfect. Honestly,
White post farms in your jurisdiction, of course, is absolutely
that's a great We have quite a few farms large
and small.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
We have famous farms, including.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
The famous farm, famous.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Farms including the home of one of our leaders during
the revolutionary period, and he was the family that led
the spy ring that won the American Regis Ryan.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Has the book this was.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
He plays one of them. So now do you play.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
I am Benjamin Talmote, yes, books and his books are phenomenon.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
I haven't yet would.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Bring history at all. Oh, I definitely definitely played Benjamin
Talmadge and I meet with Nathan Hall. That didn't go
very well for Nathan got killed in a couple of days.
But then I you know, as Talmage recruit Abraham Woodhall,
who in turn not only has a spy, he puts
the ring together and they were very successful. And that's

(27:30):
why George watching at the conclusion of the war.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
He.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, he realized or he rests so much on the
importance of the information that they got from spies on
Long Island. Such a rich history. And Brian killed me
to his credit, not only gave the world this great
gift for all Long Islanders to appreciate that what went
on amongst our brothers, our families on this land. But

(27:55):
Washington came on afterwards, but he puts it to life.
He wrote the book, and then we go out on tours.
We've done twenty five cities. That's incredible and we're able
to bring.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
He's like, you know, I could tell you about the
Long Island spy Ring, or I could bring up my
high school friends who completely no town.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Of course, we're talking about George Washington's Secret Six, one
of Brian kill Meat's finest books. It gets deeply into it.
Who I'm referring to is random Hold, the home of
Culper Junior. Yes, and why they were motivated to get
involved in this quickest story I can say. A colonel
of the British Army and his troops came to the

(28:35):
family and said, we're taking over your farm in Oyster Bay,
the largest farm. We're going to kill your livestock to
feed the troops, hundreds and hundreds of British troops. He
moved into the house and he said, you're all moving upstairs.
I'm taking over the first floor of your home. I'm
going to eat your food. I'm going to have anything
I want. And when he started to give the impression

(28:58):
that the next thing he wanted was there young teenage daughter,
the mom and dad and that family said enough, and
that motivated him to go out help George Washington, who
needed that spy ring. It didn't work the first round,
as you mentioned with Nathan Hale, left him hanging in
the cold, you might say.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
And but this spy ring made the whole difference.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
America was outgunned out true, many more British had far
more ships, and without this extra component the catalyst really
to win the war made such a difference.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
And Brian captures every personality.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
It's a quick read.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
It's a great book, especially at Tobay Beach where we
just brought an amazing amount of sand. Were already for
a big, big summer down at Tobay next summer.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
And Alicia in a recent This is to she appreciates
not only long on history, but some of the darker
parts of American history. Where she was I thought she
was from Avenueville because she had to go to the house.
She still wants to go to the Amnigrr house.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
We take you to Tobay. Did you guys come to Tobay?

Speaker 2 (30:03):
You went to the aquarium, right, let's least visit you
went to the aquarium.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
You gotta come.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
We got to hit tobay, we'll bring it to that house.

Speaker 9 (30:10):
I want just to drive by. Let's just do a
drive by really quicker to see it.

Speaker 10 (30:14):
It's really from my house, literally whatever. I from Avenueville,
and they always say, oh my God.

Speaker 11 (30:21):
And the woman who lives in that house is a
spiritual and holdes is to killer.

Speaker 10 (30:27):
You know, obviously there's a lot of dark history.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
All right, take you by. Actually, thank you for being

her not only in saving or being part of saving Carter,
the way she takes care of her family. You are

fort with the two little terrorists over there.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
Just remind him that I'm going to teach him how
to ride better next time I see him, because you know, it's.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
A motorcycle still is he he's not a motorcycle cop

He follows the rules.

Speaker 16 (31:31):

motor cop.

Speaker 9 (31:35):

to ride the bike.

lifeback dot Net. Go to life back dot net. Use
code mit A. I believe you can even get a
discount on the book. Sorry can't. Justly and normally on
the show, people are familiar. We talk about chapters of
this groundbreaking book and now you're working on an audio.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, I just did it yesterday. It was cool, it
was fun. It was interesting to stand there and read
your own book. And it's weird, but it kind of
was made us in Our next show will be really
off the book. But you know, he eats, a lot
of gratitude. It's a lot of depth. And then when
you said we should do a Mother's Day show, I
thought of the mother in the arena. Right, Let's talk

(34:52):
to moms, absolute, let's ask questions like what's the best
part of being a mom and the challenges? But you know,
Hope saying, and so you know, it was beautiful, you know,
and Alicia that like her best part was then tickling
and playing with it.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Like the little things.

Speaker 10 (35:08):
I know, it's all the simple little things, the.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Little things that are are possible because of the life
saving intervention and.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Those two, yeah, for sure, right, and you know that's
that's the gift. That's when it hit me with that
poem from Emily Dickinson and the depth of four thousand
means eight thousand parents and sixteen thousand grandparents, ten frends each.
That's another forty thousand and you get to creep. But
it was cool to have moms that did have a save.

(35:36):
I didn't really connect that. I just knew their moms.
We know, but it brings the depth of the love
of their child and the gratitude for being with this.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
No doubt, Honey, I want to talk to you about
not only being a mom, but your mom. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (35:51):
So I have a great mom.

Speaker 11 (35:53):
One of the things that I did is kind of
reinvent myself when I first got divorced, and I decided
to use my mother's name. So I'm Heidi Beth Felix
for that reason, because I'm named after my mother and
my dad us always say no.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
Oh okay, because I was like, that's odd, But I.

Speaker 11 (36:11):
Always thought it was great because my dad used always
say I was her little Beth, and and my mom
is kind of it's funny that they say that because
my mother's four ft nine.

Speaker 10 (36:20):
So who's the little one?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
A good let's get this.

Speaker 10 (36:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (36:24):
So my mom unfortunately has dementia, which is one of
those things that runs in our family. And every once
in a while when I have those senior moments, I'm like, oh.

Speaker 10 (36:32):
My god, I have dementia.

Speaker 11 (36:34):
But what I love about my mother is she has
such an amazing grasp on history, and she did this
whole deep dive into our background and we found out
we founded Salem in sixteen oh six.

Speaker 10 (36:46):
One of my ancestors was burned.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
At this stage, Oh no, no.

Speaker 10 (36:49):
She says, that's the witching ess.

Speaker 11 (36:51):
And you know every once in a while because we
have this prophetic ability not with normally with ourselves, but with.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
A volunteer a lot.

Speaker 10 (36:59):
Yes, yeah, that definitely means that.

Speaker 11 (37:02):
But we have this ability sometimes to see things before
they happen.

Speaker 10 (37:07):
And so she used to always joke about it that
it was like the way to.

Speaker 4 (37:11):
Quick memory, like this doesn't have to be too crazy.

Speaker 10 (37:14):
Yeah, So my mom worked full time.

Speaker 11 (37:17):
She worked for the superintendent of our school district, and
it was kind of hard. You could never you had
to walk by me, and I did follow the rules.
I'm not gonna lie, But first she worked for my
principal and then she worked for my superintendent, so she
never could really come to my things. And so, speaking
of soccer, I was playing soccer on the field right

(37:38):
outside of the superintendent's office. So she said to the superintendent,
Dick Kipman at the time, I need to go see
my daughter play soccer, you know, because they're going to
this sectional championship and everything. Well, wouldn't you know that's
the game that took me out for the rest of
my life. No, actually, I had a couple of those
because I was a goalie too, but I unfortunately.

Speaker 10 (37:59):
Had me and she was there. My mom was there,
and like the one time my dad came to.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
My base game, times that she needed to be a mom, well.

Speaker 11 (38:07):
Yeah, it was funny, you know, the two times that
they were able to show up for games. I broke
my jaw in one of them when I decided to,
you know, hit a ball that I probably shouldn't have
in a softball game.

Speaker 10 (38:17):
And then the other one was this game.

Speaker 11 (38:19):
But I remember it so well because had she not
been there, I probably would have been very scared when
that ambulance came out onto the field, thinking to myself,
I hope I can walk again, you know, because this
girl definitely took my name out.

Speaker 10 (38:29):
But here we are still.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
I remember my mom being around the fence at Fairfield
when I was going to have to fight the whole
fourth grade, and it's in the book because it was
just like my dad's story. But I remember getting on
the bus and scene, you know, and I think it's
that's mom's right to ye. I don't know if she
helped me fourth or fourth grade, but she probably would.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Have side from the that was before the broken rib, right,
I don't know what is What are some things that
I know you're dad played a major role in your life.
But some of the things that mom earliest, like memories
where Mom made a difference.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Well, I was my mom was the mush. She was funny.
It was really funny. We'd laugh a lot. I was
thinking about this some one year because I used to
have to walk down my block right that. We have
a long lock, so the bus would drop you at
the top. And every day that year I brought her
a present and the bailout was a dandelion. But I
would try and like I'd find a quarter or a

(39:28):
bottle cap or something. Then that that was my thing,
you know. We we were MUSHes together, and it's you know,
try and use the next episode of remembering the good times,
you know. But one I still remember. So I was
cleaning the roof on the tippy top of our house,
so it's almost three stories up and we had it

(39:51):
above ground wood pool. It was my dad's invention, and
like a shed platform. So I'm cleaning the utters and
it was a hot day and I said, man, I
think I could make the pool. So I ran down
the roofs jumped over the shed thing into the pool.
But I said, oh my god, that was funny. So

(40:11):
I go get my mom. I said, Mom, you gotta
watch this. Check this out. So I go running back. No,
she didn't know what the heck I was doing. And
I'm thinking, she's gonna love this. Look how cool is
this fine across? And you know it's only four feet deep.
I'm three stories up, so I had to land flat
and I hit the ground on the inside the pool,

(40:32):
and I came up hoping for these accolades of what
a wonderful jump. She almost killed me.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
She was freaking out, Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
Yeah, I was what is wrong with you? I'm like, what,
Wasn't that cool? But we would laugh about that for
a long time. Because I was under the impression Mom
was going to be like, awesome jump.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
She went into protective mode.

Speaker 11 (40:56):
Can you imagine if she thought that you wanted to
go over to the Niagara Falls?

Speaker 2 (41:00):
I just thought of that falls.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
But that's what that was what it was about, because
that's why she was yelling. Because I had set a
precedent of doing dumb things, so it was very possible.
And then you have my dad helping me. Oh you're
gonna I'm gonna get a fall like this, And here's
a graph paper comes out Oh my god, you.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
Look as at the life back as leveling all of
the maybe dumb things. It clearly cleans the slate in
the depositive direction.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Well, they were always fun, dumb things. But I don't know,
I think there's I think that a lot of life
act comes from the soul of my mom. You know,
the compassion, the empathy. You know, my mom we guys
in the house. She didn't care whatever, sleepover, throw off, whatever.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
You know, we are a product of our parents. And
you have to think back at the moment that you
were visiting Steve, Steve your friend, and that was visiting
his mom, and not everyone sees something like that and acts.
You can be touched by a tragic event and not,
you know, just be sad for it, but not spring
to action.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
Because yeah, do you have a mom.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Well, I don't know about funny, but my mom and
I shared a lot. She raised us, my brother and
I by herself. At thirty one, she lost her husband,
and I didn't really have a full appreciation. I loved
her and I and I respect her. But when I
had a child, I immediately clicked in on She was
thirty one, two boys, yeah, five and three alone and

(42:32):
just such a great appreciation for what she went through
and all she gave. And we shared this love for animals.
And later in her life, we were driving somewhere and
she just broke in. She loved loved animals. Everyone in
the neighborhood knew it. But she said, you know, I
have such respect for the crows. So that yeah, So
that I, you know, delved a little further into it,

(42:54):
got an explanation of why. But for the for the
next five years, towards the end of her life, I
would bring it up from time the time. You know,
you know what, Yeah, such respect for the crows, and
I do have. We can't show it, but I have
a memoriam because she passed away a few years ago.
But I'm a memoriam tattoo a crow, a crow flight
and it says respect.

Speaker 4 (43:13):
That's perfect. Yeah, Patcher, that's a good point because when I,
you know, when I had Jackie, if she went jumping
off the third floor, freak out. Man, at the time,
I was like, look, this is fun. Now, I would
be I get it. Sometimes you don't get it.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
You're in it, yes, And now you know why mom
reacted the way she did.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
And when you hear Hope and and Alicia about how
they kicked into gear and saved their children, and he
kind of you know, it's hard to get it to
the advocate. Yeah, you're listening jumped off the third floor.
Oh my god.

I got a couple of them. Let's start with, we
have seventy eight saves since my last broadcast thirteen days ago.
Seventy eight saves.

Speaker 17 (46:51):
Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. Let's go to the highlight of the week,
shall we, Buddy. On April twenty first, a fifty year
old male from Virginia choked on some lamb, causing a
partial obstruction. Basic life support protocol was followed. Life back
was used one time and successfully dislodged the obstruction. We

(47:12):
were unable to dislodge using the Heimlich maneuver due to
the food being lodged deep in his throat. The patient
was tall compared to the family members trying to give
proper Timlich maneuver. The combination of this device and the
training of a family member as an EMT made all
the difference. It happened so quickly, and I'm so grateful
I thought to keep this device in our car where

(47:35):
we were able to quickly run and grab it while
our families were having Easter dinner.

Speaker 12 (47:40):
A tragedy was avoided. This device saved his life. I
have since ordered a few of these gifts to give
to our family members who are unable to order them.
But I witnessed the life saving abilities of this device firsthand.
I never thought I would need to use it, but
I'm so fortunate I was able to order it and
have the foresight to keep it accessible. Boy, let me

(48:01):
tell you, because that's where my little girl got saved.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
Do you Ray is it like, I love the fact
that you get to read them and you know, they
come over. I read them, right, I read every one
of them. But there's something that touch you and you
really feel the moment, you know, and uh, I think
it's great that you get to read them and share
them because it's so genuine, right, you know what's going on,

(48:27):
and your enthusiasm for being the mist of three thousand,
it's so great, so appreciated, such a godwing that you
were three thousand. Who do you think is going to
be four thousand? I don't that quarter as good as you?

Speaker 12 (48:40):
You know, I don't think anybody is going to be
as quite as good as me, right right, But no
matter who number four thousand is, it's not about the number,
because each one, like you said, one save how many
people does that affect? I mean you guys have done
the numbers. I mean that that effects the parents, the grandparents,

(49:01):
the friends, so on and so forth. So again, it's
each one is so special. It's like you said, you
get you get choked up reading these. It's absolutely amazing.

Speaker 11 (49:11):
More than a number that happened to me actually on
my birthday, so at one of the bristols that I
actually did the training up there in White Plains.

Speaker 10 (49:21):
They actually saved an eighty seven year old woman.

Speaker 11 (49:23):
Eighty seven year old woman's name, It is my mother
who had dementia on your birthday, on my birthday, and
I started crying.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
I was like, oh my gosh, birthday.

Speaker 11 (49:33):
That was the fourth save that And I had done
all the training at these facilities, and so I knew
these people that had saved the lives.

Speaker 10 (49:40):
So it was just like, oh my god.

Speaker 12 (49:43):
You said that's the fourth, say number four, and here
we are going on foury twenty away from number four thousand.
It's it's mind blowing, absolutely mind.

Speaker 2 (49:53):

and I know she comments and follows show talk about
your mom. As we celebrate the great moms on Mother's Day.

there for your kids like your mom. I mean, my
dad is amazing, but my mom, I mean, my mothers
are amazing. They they go above and beyond doing anything
and everything for their children. There's no boundary even when
it comes to life saving issues. You know, they don't pant,

(50:23):
they focus, they get through the situation because that's their
job and and just moms. My mom is just She's
been such a great person to have in mind. I'm
beyond great. She's taught me so many lessons, been there
through so many ups and downs. It's just too much
to say. I mean, my mom is God, God bless her.

your mom. Yeah, what's it like.

Speaker 10 (51:14):
It's like being a mom?

Speaker 11 (51:16):
Yeah, Oh my gosh, it's probably the hardest job on
the planet. You know, nobody really gives you a rule book.
And you know, I actually followed my mom's lead. You know,
I decided to be a working mom too, and it
was for sure the hardest thing leaving my children, you know,
with somebody else, it wasn't until nine to eleven that
I decided to give up my corporate job and you know,

(51:38):
go and be a.

Speaker 10 (51:39):
Mom full time.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
And it's hard.

Speaker 10 (51:42):
You know, God bless all those stay at home moms.

Speaker 11 (51:45):
You know, I have to say, it's it's exhausting. You know,
you're taxi driver, you're you know, tutor, psychologist, you know,
you name it. You know there's nothing that you don't do.
You're you're the short order shop and you know you
gotta be the clean up girl too. And you know,
one of the things I think I love the most
is that I think it was last Mother's Day, one

(52:06):
of my kids had said to me, you know, we
were just so grateful for you, and we wouldn't be
the people that we are today if it wasn't for you,
and I just dump.

He used to joke my mom was a triage nurse
because I was always freaking myself upunctious. Yeah, I was
the kid that was like every day, look I cut
my head, cut my head.

Speaker 11 (52:28):
My mom would say, I to eat your accident prone.
I'm like, I'm just klutzy. I think that was my problem, right.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
But whatever you call it, they were there for us
right always.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
Yeah, but that's another job of moms, patching the kids,
especially if you're an evil cadievil Era kid. We're jumping
bikes over both crates and every kind of dumb thing.
You know, we didn't have. We weren't sitting around playing
video games.

Speaker 11 (52:50):
We were Yes, what you were talking about your mom,
how she always wanted to have everybody over. You know,
my mom loved having my friends over, called her missus

girlfriends when I broke up of do you.
