Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Purfey, Sam and Jody after the show, something that
we do for you every day a new episode. And
of course today where this morning sort of off was
not the way that anybody you know, expect the tragic,
and you know, to be honest with you, it is
difficult for us to kind of come together and do
the normal funny stuff and hanging out and laughs at all,
that kind of stuff that we normally do when your
(00:20):
morning starts out with the you know, the deadliest shooting
in US history, mass shooting in US history.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Still obligated to do that too, though, and you know,
to balance that out. But so this is a good
place for us to kind of I'm feeling so horrible
right now, it's kind of hard to even I don't
know express and.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I should tell you to tell me we're doing at
the time we're doing this podcast, just so that you know,
since this is after the show for October the seconds, Okay,
so it's you know, a little after ten o'clock, and
so still learning a lot, right things are still unfolding
at this At this point.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I was telling producer David earlier, if I had and
I have been to my share of music fast we
talked about this after the Ariana Grande concert in that shooting. Yeah,
and I had taken our girls to see her a
year before that shooting. I have been to my share
of festival concerts, and if I had, I feel like,
(01:16):
if I had experienced something like this, it would be
very difficult for me to ever go back into some
sort of open air public event. Can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah? I agree, And I'm sure that's the way that
everybody's feeling right now too. I just, I mean, I
can't even picture, imagine or fathom and something that lasted
this that lasted ten minutes. And so I mean, we
know who the shooter was. Now, we know he took
his own life, which seems to be sort of a
common thing when these things happen like that. So who
knows if we'll ever really know what the motive was.
(01:46):
Maybe the I was, you.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Know, saying I don't even care about the motive. I
almost never do care about the motive.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I don't necessarily care about the overall, you know, makeup
of the guy. But it was like, just give me
a sentence, like why'd you do this? Because you have
this against country artists, you have just what So we
can go oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
But there never isn't okay because there's never an excuse
for it, So why matters? All right? That's kind of
why I agree with Jodie at some point. I mean,
curiosity would be the reason I would want to know,
but at the end of the day, I don't really
care about the motive. It's sort of like this is
just that it doesn't matter what the motive is. That
shouldn't be the outcome, right.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I will tell you that. It's so funny. I was
reading this thing about how to talk to children about this,
and it's an age by age thing for preschool in
kindergarten age, they're saying one sentence story, figure out ahead
of time what you want to say and give them
a one sentence And another thing that you're supposed to
not do, especially if your children are younger, is not
(02:43):
let them see you your first reaction to it. If
you're way upset, you need to have yourself gathered before
you talk to them about it. But you know, one
sentence story for a young kid is enough. For elementary
school children, you share with them, but you shield them
and try to focus them on the positive first responders
(03:04):
who's helping. What good is coming now, just like mister
Rogers always said. So for elementary school children, it's kind
of like shield them. They're going to know that something
really bad happened and they don't even need all the
every detail. In fact, they don't. That'll stick with them
forever if you just say this happened, it was a
mass shooting, and now everybody's they're trying to figure out
(03:24):
how to help everybody. That's enough for an elementary age student,
I guess. I mean that's a decision among different households
and different parents. Tweens, you're supposed to listen to their
feelings about it, let them express because they need to
do that. And for teens, teenagers, And I know this
is true because we have a sixteen year old and
I promise you when I pick her up today, this
(03:44):
is what we're going to be talking about. Because they
watch news clips in one of their classes, so she
will know about this. She already does. I'm sure teenagers
will be looking for solutions. They need to understand socially
what's going on. They're going to talk to you about
how they feel about it.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Right, you know, And to what Sam was saying about
the motive. It's the same thing. It's the whole, the
why part. I mean, when you're at that age, you.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
It doesn't solve anything, but it's like, let them talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
You still want the answer, you know. The other thing
that and this is what compounds the problem when you're
really trying to make something that's age appropriate, because everything
goes viral so fast, everything gets shared on social media
so quickly, and you know.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
They're seeing stuff that they wouldn't have seen ten twenty
years ago.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And I understand it is the role of news networks
to bring us what's going on, but I was surprised
at the number of networks who were playing the phone footage,
just the including the gunfire sounds over and over and
over again to me, which is just kind of and again,
I get it that it's in the news, and it's
not that I don't have thick skin and that sort
of thing, but it's morning, you do have kids, everybody's
(04:49):
being exposed to it. Why take it that far? You
know what I mean? If it's if it's something somebody
chooses to watch, they can actually go then seek it
on social media, right, But in the broadcast medium, why
stick that in everybody's faces.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I guess that I don't know, And that part that
I guess is part of what upset me to is
that when I first saw some of that first footage
and just heard that, and it's like that's it. Yeah,
I'm done. I can't. I can't do this, I know.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
And they say too much news is not good for you,
and I believe that one and ten percent wholeheartedly. You
guys know, I started my career in news and that
lasted maybe six months because I would go home crying
every night, like I can't live this way. I can't
absorb this every day and then be me. You know,
I just couldn't. I don't believe in bearing your head
(05:36):
in the sand either. Well, and I believe in you know,
knowing what's going on, but then take care of yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well that's the two sides you know of something like this.
This is something in the magnitude that it's an American discussion.
It impacts is all as citizens, right, Yeah, and so
it's not something that you can just you know, turn
your head away from. Well, there's a lot of news,
you know, a what do they call a quote unquote
regular news day, So much of it is superficial and
designed to panda and all that kind of stuff. But
(06:02):
you know, this is the trick part, you know, I mean,
how deep do you go, how much do you get
exposed to? And when do you take a breath.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
From self regulate? We always talk about that. You just
said something, Murphy, that this is this is an American discussion.
It would be nice to me if it were a
discussion instead of a debate. You know, I would love
for it to be a discussion.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
So it's a debate, Yeah, I mean, I will anything
possibly can be, but you know, but it certainly needs
to be a discussion and awareness and obviously we'll have
plenty of that in the in the coming days. So
tomorrow morning, we'll start the day off positively, right, We'll
just have to blend, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We're going to do some good things. Stories and yeah,
some of them coming out of their rescue efforts and
just those human stories out of Las Vegas.
It's Purfey, Sam and Jody after the show, something that
we do for you every day a new episode. And
of course today where this morning sort of off was
