Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Seven nine with Kubby and Nina and for Christine, she's
on a staycation. This week we got producer Christen. It's
Tuesday and yeah, all right, so this is anything anytime
you talk about a death here, it's it's a dark
topic that's super humorous. It is not very funny, but
you can learn something from this. Two thousand deaths occur
annually in America due to people falling down the stairs.

(00:23):
That's a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
It's a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
And I think we all have a story where we've
fallen down the stairs.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Didn't I Vonna Trump die from falling down the stairs.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I think you're right. Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
That happened.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
That happened in last three years. Yeah, yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I fell down the stairs about two years ago. We
have a layout similar to you, producer Christian, because we
were talking off the air. Where you go down a flight,
there's a landing pad kind of like a.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
To stop your fall.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah, like a little square and you go down more though,
did you go all the way down? I went down
the first part, all the way down, and like I
was on my back the whole time. Yet my ribs hurt.
Oh I remember thinking I broke a rib for like
a week. It was just a bruise, but it was like,
you know, not that was me. My gosh, we've all

(01:11):
done it, have you dot?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I mean I slipped not so long ago. I was
going in the basement and I had wet shoes on
and I just went down on my like my tailbone.
I really and I hit my arms too. I hit
like my my forearms right, and I thought I broke
a bone, and for like, I don't know, two months.
It hurt. Wow.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Was anybody home when that happened? Because when mine happened,
my wife wasn't at home, and I was like going, oh,
at the bottom of the landing.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Thing, I was home alone. I thought I was gonna
throw up. Like I hit it so hard it was
like nauseating.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, now I know why. I like, like they have
life alert for the for sure, because I thought I
need I might need help. But eventually, you know, after
like two minutes. But I'm like, man, that was scary.
How about you, Kristen.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I you know what two years ago, I fell on
the stairs when I was pregnant. Oh yeah, it was
a couple stairs. But you know, when you're yourself yeah,
I caught myself. Was very scary. But two weeks ago
my husband fell down the stairs. I think I think
I told that.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
By the way, I haven't checked it. He's okay, but
you never brought it up, so I figure he's okay.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, he had some like wrist pain, but he took
the gate because you know, we have a gate up
because of the kids. I ripped out of the wall.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Scary.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, socks on or anything.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
He did it socks on, didn't have socks on.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
When the I've taught the kids, you know, they're five
and three, when you go down the stairs, hold on
to the railing every time. Yeah, And they do a
pretty good job at that. Every now and then they
get a little wobbly, and I get nervous.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Everybody needs to hold on though. You know, you're just
not paying attention, you're on your phone, you got wet
shoes or socks or something, and before you know it

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Exactly hold on for just one more day, as Wilson
Phillips would say,
