Speaker 1 (00:04):
And we're back on the Man in the arena. It's
been a great show so far. It's only going to
get better from here. I'm Rick Thatcher, along with Paddle
Rourke and Heidi Felix, vice president of Sales Life Fact. Heidi,
you've been talking to me about Ed Kosiak for quite
some time. I know that you guys did something magical
in Washington, but tell us about how you met Ed.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well, actually I met Ed 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.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Probably about two years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Right, I'm thinking Ed's.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Spoiled the surprise. Ed Kosiak joins us from the mountains
on a lake in a kayak with a paddle Kak.
Welcome to the Joser. Everybody's great, amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
He's just a dynamo.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
So Ed single handedly coordinated the fifth annual National CPR
and ad Rally in Washington.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
D C.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
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 from the meet and greet,
getting a chance to meet all the people that were participating.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
There was hundreds of people that were survivors.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
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.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So I'm a big advocate.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
For hands on CPR and ADS and so Ed goes
across the entire country and trains for his charity that
is called Every Second Counts.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
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 after what happened.
So take it away, sure, sure.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
So back in that day, I was a normal fifty
one year old guy. I was trying to stay fit.
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 I didn't really understand it.
That day, I had run ten miles, I did some
(02:26):
hot yoga, and I was just craving Chick fil A.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Who doesn't who doesn't it?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
So then I just go in there. My wife didn't
want to go there, so I talked to her a going,
so we went. We got there about two o'clock or so.
Everything was fine. I was doing great, and all of
a sudden, I got sweaty, we got clammy. I got dizzy,
and I said, oh, I better get out of here.
(02:55):
I need some water, I need some fresh air, I
eat something. I started to attempt to get up, and
I just collapsed. And that's all I remembered.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
You went out, and then.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Then I 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.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I call her, Yes, Sarah saved your life the chick.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Fil at Chick fil A, I'm a Chick fil A
on the floor.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
And she's a high school girl.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
At the time I collapsed on the floor, the manager yelled,
as 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 the medical program,
so she knew knew.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
What to do, and the ad 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 this.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
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. Firemen luckily got there in time. Shocked
me three times, nothing the fourth shock they got a
rhythm back.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Incredible.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
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 1 (04:41):
No, ed, at this point, are you in first aid
or do you have any any training before this?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
No that No, Like I said, I'm this is.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Just a normal fifty one year.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Old be out there a lot of people don't think
it's going to happen to them m 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 1 (05:06):
Now, is this your full time at this point? No,
every second time.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I'm a real estate broker.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
After I survived, I did some soul searching and trying
to figure out where I fit in in this whole 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'm like, what is wrong with people?
(05:35):
Why can't they come and help? What if that was
a brother, uncle, ron, a cousin. When you help, when
you hope that somebody would come help.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
We hear this a lot with with life back stories
of saving in fact great previous.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
So I got involved with passing along Florida, where all
high school kids have to know CPR. I was on
cloud now. I felt 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 take teach CPR across the nation. Amazing and
(06:15):
it 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 1 (06:26):
Yeah, now tell me tell the people. We don't tell
us about this latest trip at Heidi joins you on
down in Washington, d C. As we were there a
couple of weeks earlier. But I loved, loved the story.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
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 or so
people can start listening, especially at lawmakers that will understand.
We need more 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 I
(07:00):
finally figured out if I was going to invite people
they needed to. 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
(07:20):
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 seventh for CPR a ED Awareness week.
They gave us that platform and nobody's ever used it,
so I said, why don't use it? And we're going
to use it at the nation's capital.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And we're literally there. We're at the Capitol.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And what I loved is the congresswoman who came out
that you worked with on that bill, and she was
talking about she was.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
With the heart attack. She wasn't on that bill.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Oh, she wasn't on that bill. She was on the
AED bill.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Right, Yeah, So talk about your website and the foundation.
Where can people.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I want to know where I fit in. So why
the CPR Because I want more people in the public
to understand that you do not have to be certified
to save a light. You do not have to you cannot.
You know, people are afraid afraid of AEDs. They look
at AEDs in a box and they don't think it's
for them to touch. The people got to start understanding.
(08:23):
We The EMS response times anywhere from eight to twelve
minutes at any 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 cause
we do, we have anybody doing anything in between. The
(08:43):
reason I'm alive is because that Mike Sarah jumped into
action and started those compressions, and she kept the oxygen flowing,
the blood flowing, and luckily out of ten that survives
a CARGE arrest and everything went well. But that's never
the case, and we need to change that by more
bystanders helping out because once our paramedics and firemen get there,
(09:06):
they'll take over. But it's those important moments between that
is what's going to help change the survival rates.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You were trying to set a record, right how many
people did we train that day at the Washington Monument.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
We had about a thousand. Last year we did eighteen hundred.
And what that really consists of is 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.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
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, 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 ed.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
We help you raise awareness tonight, and we will pledge
to continue with Heidi's help and with the whole Life
Act team behind you. We're going to be there with
you next year. And we thank you so much for
joining us tonight at KOSK. Everybody, thank you.

my name is Rick Thatcher. This is the man in
the arena. I am joined as always by Arthur Lee
Tonight special guests, Steve OLIVERI and of course Patrick o'rourck
is always with us.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Arthur lining up Brady episode. That's right, Bobby Brady party.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Oh yeah, you had a passion for tonight's topic. I
think we all been talking about the preparation for the show,
talked about Karen for caring for our loved ones, our family.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
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 right. 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. Hey,
(12:25):
you want to play cards and that I can't can't? Yeah,
well you didn't even think about it. 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
(12:46):
I experience this Stevie the incredible Olive.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Aarry operations manager at Life that I.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
May have seen.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
You may have seen them in movies and TV, yes
or maybe not. But more importantly this clip from Jim
brew were he's stimulated this whole thought and that's why
Stevie's here.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, Jim Brewer, local comic. We've kind of grown up
with him, like he from a very early age. But
then he started to share some of his things that
were going on with his family. I remember him well
and sharing childhood or child bearing.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Have you I met him once or twice yet?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Yess Like I love his shows. He's clean, you know,
but he's hysterical. A lot of energy, yes, a lot
of energy.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So let's hear Jim Brewer, small clip, Bobby.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
Not the easiest thing in the world to take care
of elderly, especially if they're your own, because you're still
attached to this is my mom and this is my dad,
and my father shouldn't be this way.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
My mother shouldn't be this way.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
This is not the way it's supposed to be. So
you get caught up in that. My dad, they didn't
know if it was a mini stroke. It wasn't me stroke.
I think the worst part was when he had the
bad reaction in the medicine.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
He was done.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
They'd stuck him in the hospital a couple of days,
and he came back and he was off and everyone
was like, he needs a twenty four hour nurse. You
need help. And during that time, the decision was he's
gonna have people come and take care of him. He
was definitely embarrassed to have someone else scrubbing him. I
can tell this was more of a convenience for everyone
(14:23):
who just didn't want to deal. I had to make
a decision where, all, right, is this really right or
is he going to get so much more out of
I'm committing to this, get everyone out of here.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I will do this.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
How hard can it be to wash him? And I
tell you, it was the beginning of one of the
greatest experiences in my life.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Hey you.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
And the minute I said, I can do this, and
I'll make it a project, and I'll do it my way,
and I'll find out what makes him come, what makes himcomfortable.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Which golf just came out with their brand new color,
the dark Forest in their.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Air, enough of the advertisement that here's the thing, right
and me and you're gonna be able to talk about this,
you guys chime in. But I was unable to make
that decision. I hope I would have had the courage
to say I'll do it, but it was COVID, right,
so there was no option.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I couldn't put him in a home.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
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 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
(15:45):
of my life. Right, So now you combine that, I
just can't do it anymore. Okay, is that work a
step back? Not only like he says, because I did that,
I washed them, 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.
(16:07):
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 to get there. And if
you look at it that way, it all changes. My
niece can come, my nephew can come, my neighble looves
my dad. He could show up once in a while,
and before you know it, you've got a manageable situation.
(16:28):
Right now, we this is Steve Olivari. If you stebody,
he's extremely handsome.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yes, and bold. You're bold.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
But remember as your dad went, I was like feeding
you advice. But tell your father story about how clear
he made the decision for you.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
To take care of whom his father. Oh it was.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
It was a proud 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 that you.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Were in trouble.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Many times I was in trouble because his dad was
a very cut and dry He was.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Very cut and dry, so you know, basically he's very religious.
I never you didn't want me to ask him for money,
and he told me never to bring home police or
any pregnant women.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yes, all right, so you were giving clear instructions no,
no women, no pregnant women, regular women. Find I meant
no regular women, unpregnated.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Women, okay, and no police, and don't ask him for money, right, and.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
If you stay in the house, you get a job.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I like those.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
But it was very easy, clear, very precise.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
The time I tackled your mom and we were rolling
around the floor, yes, he comes walking in and he's like,
why is your friend the top of mom?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It was pretty funny. That's another thing.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Go ahead, Yeah, I would like that one, pat, Why.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Is Arthur on top of mom?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
So?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
How did he makeet very clear of what?
Speaker 8 (18:11):
So ten years ago he got I was by myself
in my house about ten years ago, and uh, nobody
was around, and he's in the kitchen. He's got a
cane with him and he's like, hey, I want to
talk to you, and uh, he gives me one of these.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
This is how it was going to go down. You know.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
It's like I'm watching you and I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like nineteen again, I did something wrong. He said
it 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 going to 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
(18:49):
the house. He's like, you're looking at me, and he
goes yeah, and he goes when I go, you're going
to cart me out of my house, That's how I'm going.
He takes his hand, he shoves it into my chest
as best he could, and I'm like, oh my god,
this is like I'm twenty now.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Do you know that he is not well at this point?
Speaker 10 (19:05):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
You know he was.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
He was.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
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 up. I said, we're
caughting dad out of the house. I said, not today,
but said whatever, when it happens, it's going to happen.
And I said to him, I'm never bringing up the
conversation again about asking him to sell us house.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
So my brother's like, okay, we're going to do it right.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
And we've you know, he had some memory loss things
and already from his trial.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Well wait, let me tell you for a second, because
in that the I can't take care of him anymore.
Neither one of us really had a choice. Steve's father
told you something. You were like, okay, do right. That
guy's going out with his boots on that man, and
he did.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
But so here's the thing, right, so neither one of
us had the choice that Jim Brewer was courageous enough
to address and make a decision. We found out that
it could be the greatest e aparians of your life.
So the message is to consider that part right. So
as I had gone through it, so me and Steve
and we talked about well we we talk about God.
(20:11):
We talk about it, talk about it off that you
can't talk about on the here.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
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? Of the tenacity, the sticktuitiveness,
(20:37):
the amazing mind of Arthur Lee.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
Well, it was saying, I've seen a bunch of other
fabulous invention but right that day that I told the story.
The next day literally on my cell phone was pictures
of the and put a mask on.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
It was an early design work and he and he
and I'm like, what is that? And he's yeah, but
if you whittle it down, that was all because of Jackie,
because I know a seven year old could die and
who she could die?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
And that's not ejaculate your daughter.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Giant plans until the Devil and the Angel, but just
stick to this right so you know, Steve would face things.
I'd say, you know, get the camera, you can have
it on your cell phone. That worked great because you
could talk to you dad. My dad wasn't right eventually.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
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.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
What you know, that's a great idea. Good look.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Well with my dad off a new had you know,
had some you know, traction on it, and he you know,
told me cameras put in the house and this, and
I I did all that, and I got conversations of
you know, square rolls coming.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Up to people were raccoons, were the raccoons?
Speaker 8 (21:57):
And we had people, we had people living in there
was something.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Squatters, slaters. How did they get in the He thought that.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
He thought, now, once again, this goes into what Brewer
said about and why it's easy to go I can't
do it. 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 Griffith today. And I watched it
at three o'clock in the morning when he had eggs
(22:29):
and you know, there was holding him and carrying him
and all those things. But if you look into what
brew was saying, and look what Steve and I went through,
wouldn't change it.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
For the world. Right. And then here's the other thing.
If you change that.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Language, you say I'm gonna do this, you get to
prize that how many things can help you, right, like
the cameras or the mats that beat the bedrails.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's a matter of how you look at it. If
you get to do it, if you have that opportunity,
absolutely right, 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 7 (23:13):
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 4 (23:18):
Right.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
But we have to be 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 4 (23:32):
How hard is it?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
You can wash him, you can feed them, you know,
we get so afraid. I had to take care of
my father in the last freaking five days of his life,
and they went fast, and I was learning how to
roll them on a bed and clean them. But you
know what you could do it you ain't and me
and you would have numerate. Well, we had a lot
of fun with the people in the as. Yeah, people
(23:53):
coming in through the windows.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Dogs came up the side of the house.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, it's intimidating.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
You start it like any job or any shore, right,
and then you look back and go, I was afraid
to do that, right.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
You know I could do that again.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
But that's the dating glive message here that consider you're
a don't can't it right away? Don't say I have
to put them somewhere right. You may right, And obviously
there are conditions and lives that we cannot can't I said,
cannot make that sacrifice. But if we go into it saying,
(24:27):
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's a manageable situation.
And you know, I had some great moments sitting with
my dad's.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
I'm 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 them. Sometimes you're
not getting anything back, but it's totally worth it, you know,
That's why you're there.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Get that, of course, of course.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
But the 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 6 (25:07):
But that's where you got offend it off with the
gratitude that you had him, And that's that's another episode.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
But here, think of this.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Do you do you feel in that time when we
were you know, people in the attic, we're watching them
on cameras and all that take them to nine lion Doc?
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Did you have moments like you and him riding in
the car. Oh, yeah, there was one that sticks in
your head.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
The day he died. Yeah, the day he died.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
He wanted to watch him at playing Philly was supposed
to wake him up, and.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Uh, and that killed another person.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
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 see pr called.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Nine one one.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
He never came back you know. But that night, you
know that we called the mortician, came in and they
took them. And as I'm walking and he's coming down
the stairs, you know, it's kind of horrible. He's in
a body bag and stuff like that. And there's beauty
in the whole thing because as we're walking out of
the house, I'm next to my brother. It is dad
(26:11):
and we carted him out of the house exactly. He
got his wish.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
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?
Talk about the website where you can get your own copy.
After this message, she.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Started to choke on a piece of candy.
Speaker 11 (26:48):
She wasn't breathing.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Then Ray reached for the life back and it saved her.
Speaker 11 (26:53):
She could have easily died that day. A life back
saved her life. What I would say is, don't need
a life fact and not have it. Have a life
back and hopefully never need it.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Recently, the American Red Cross has added anti joking devices
as an option when standard protocol fails is not feasible.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Go to lifefac dot net or called eight seven seven
five four three three eight two two.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yes, I've always said it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Get everybody. Welcome back to the man in the arena.
I'm Rick Ftcher along with Arthur Lee, Steve ali Very
and Patrick o'roorcan. Before the break, we were talking about
a very you know, poignant moment in.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Steve life break. You know that's a real break.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Pardon, but you know what taking that.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Out 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 alerted it for you
want it. And that's another thing we have to keep
in mind. And he Brewer alludes to him. And I
know I faced it because my dad was like please,
you know, he wanted to move there, and he was
(27:53):
very reluctant to tell the people. Then he wound up
loving it because they get him food and stuff. But
the 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
(28:14):
even and all those things 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,
and we talked about it what was coming next. But
you know, your father left on his own term pretty
much told.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
You what was going.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
That's how that's how we lived.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
His life killed many people.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
But the I don't know if that's the appropriate time
to bring sports into this. I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
It's the Mets, Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
My dad was a Dodger fan.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
They became met fans, so we kind of had that
in our repertoire and talking about them and remembering them.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
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 it was about a month, month
and a half by myself, by yourself.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Yeah, because my sister was a doctor. She was on front.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Like COVID, Yes, coldd really affect out of us.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
That she couldn't come over.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, Now did COVID effect your dad?
Speaker 8 (29:22):
We went in and out of the house and you
know he stood there. He didn't travel around or anything
like that. 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 6 (29:38):
One of my memories was because I bought the fireboat.
Remember you can't so fireboat. Yeah, it was a used
fireboat that had like a landing craft, like when you.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Pretend like this is a common thing, like naturally, Yeah,
we all got fire boat's going.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Remember that time we all took I have an airport
fire truck yellow red. My dad loved to be a boat.
He loved to be on the water.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
And you know, when you're in a wheelchair, getting someone
the boat is really difficult now and dangerous. So we
foundly used fireboat that came down like a landing crept,
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 well, I'm saying, do you want to
(30:30):
go for a ride a storm at beach? You know
he was a Viking. He really was into that. Storming part.
But we so we we took him for ride and
Steve came to one of his I knew it was
getting to the end, so I brought Steve and Singer
and my cousin and you know, we went out and
we all would together. But on that ride, I have
a picture of him sticking his tongue out, so like
(30:54):
you know, when you fend off the sadness, you bring
in those memories. And I remember towards the end, 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 (31:09):
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 6 (31:17):
He was into the Steve. Steve was involved in the
bubble over Niagara. He was going to have to drive choking. Yes,
you open up a cat works.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Let's you remind the audience of all all that your
dad accomplished during his life, work, engineers, working, as.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
You know in the back of that is he put
helped put.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
A man in the moon, anything as possible.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
It taught me how to figure stuff out, because no
one figures anything out. But yeah, it was a lot
of great things.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
That has a daughter who's a doctor that you.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And lunatic, but man who changed the world.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
But if the 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
(32:14):
was there, Steve was there, his brother's dad. That guy
went out smiling.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
You know.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
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 prior 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. I trust me,
(32:40):
I'm talking to him. But so what, so what?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Right? Looking back? So what?
Speaker 6 (32:46):
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 man and talk about this again
because the gift you get if you're willing to pursue,
and it's if you take it and look at life
back you look at something that seems just I'm not
able to do it.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
It's too much.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
I can't make them out of the product of my
garage and get them from a deep and time into
a life day worldwide.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I just did it.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
You did it, and you were there. You've seen it all.
You saw my first ear wax Coe.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Two.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Great opportunity broing out where folks can go. Go to
www dot life fact dot net. Please go there, use
the code m I T A. You can get a

the counterfeits. Go to life fact dot net and please
(33:40):
get yourself protected.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
You know I was where we talked and you remember
Davy and Goliath, right and Brady.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
That would be Roll. So I was talking to Pat.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
I said, you know that the show is kind of
evolving into taking the book kind of file forhilosophy of
how we got to who we are, And I said,
we grow.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
What was your first show.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
And yet, I mean the Brady Bunch of what show
any show that you learned a lesson from?
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Bugs Bunny?
Speaker 7 (34:10):
Oh my god, I remember Saturday mornings watching those, watching
those shows in the road Runner. Yeah, but I didn't
really learn lessons from them. That's the first show I
remember watching them. But like the Brady Bunch, I mean,
you know, Bobby Brady was an asshole, but no one
came to his party, all right, Like, don't be a
bad guy because people would come to you.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
There you go.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
And to this day we still talk about well being
someone's backyard, but.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Like this is a Bobby Brady part. We still have
that in our heads. Yeah, but think about it.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
In that show kind of there was always almost it
was learning on TikTok, which is wrong, which.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
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.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
But and then, I mean, 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 I
want to teach my kids.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Wait, episode, do you have an episode and you had
Davy Glide, Brady Bunks, parts of Family.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
On the Fan? Anything, Well you just blank and blank.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
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 4 (35:25):
Right away. You remember, I remember Bobby Brady.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Said don't play ball in the house. I mean, there
are so many about I mean, I think with the
Brady Bunch would be the most.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
Uh do you remember so where Cindy's getting picked arm
like and mister Brady's trying to be cool and stuff
and keep calm and.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
A little.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Everybody everybody uses the term example, But was it Bobby
that was a stinker? And everyone and they.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
My brother Jimmy beat up a kid one time pretty badly.
He was ticking on 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 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?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
She was like my father to when you when you
get someone you hurt.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
Yeah, in the book is the three o'clock high story, right,
And that was the way it was.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
You know, yeah, you might get in him. Takes courage,
and look.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Folks were not navigating violence, ravigating standing up for.
Speaker 7 (36:32):
Yourself and unless everyone should getting one fist fight in
their life before their twenty or seven, but I got
too many.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, well you elquate that three o'clock high story to
an actual event. Now, when I read your book, sorry,
cancas a lie, I identified not only with the references
the shows, but also the people. So I knew exactly
who you were talking about. 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.
(37:00):
I absolutely know that you were ready. You already prepared,
You knew it was going to happen.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
But I wanted them beat up. I forgot everyone was
going to beat them 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 the fight. Well, you gotta have courage to
getting a fight. You have to have courage, right, There
is no you could pretend you don't like violence. All right, Well,
(37:27):
then I punch in the face. You know that you're
going to be scared, but not that we have gay violence.
But when we 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
(37:49):
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 7 (38:00):
So I always tell my sons, if you're to 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.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
Would hurt more. I should have took care of him.
I should have done that.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
Well, I remember copping on fighting third grade. 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. But you don't have a
good violence.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
When you're when.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
You're contemplating the challenge of taking care of your parents,
right that like you would be like, and I see
you do you know we used to make a lot
of fun too, but you know, get the camera, get
the mat. You got this. There's guys in the attic.
Put a camera in the attic and show them they're
not there. I told you that we should hang out
in the attic with them.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yes, you wanted to come over, and I thought that
would be fun. You guys did confirm that was right. No,
there's guys. They were really guys, pagans. You were making.
Speaker 8 (38:58):
Sure since you see beautiful things to your parents that
you never saw when they would take the area, right,
because now you're taking cam if they took care of you, right.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
But you gotta laugh. Oh you can't. You can't let Paul.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
Dad's got people in el sorry, tell the shot to
tell us now a little bit.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Have the party done by? Oh okay, Paul later, Well
you had Paul and you had Lisa. I'm interested to
hear because sometimes this stress of this situation drives families apart.
It sounds like both of you got closer. Oh yeah, definitely,
definitely about laughs.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
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 in, and
you kind of want to make sure and not have
animosity because not everyone can jump in.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Everyone's you know, could say you would.
Speaker 6 (39:50):
We've got lots of roles, but the one on the
badge party it's awesome. But anyway, well that's another show.
But the point of the matter is courage is you
can understand that fear right, some people just don't have
the capability, and that's fine. You don't want animosi say
I understand, but it's got to be talked about and
(40:10):
got to be felt. I mean, 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, and.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Whoever, you don't get many chances you have to care
for on their way out.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
But look, the part of the Davy and Goliath punch
Bobby in the face is think about that fact that
it could be good.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
It could be the.
Speaker 6 (40:36):
Greatest moment in your life.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Probably won't be silver linings. You learn from everything, but ain't.
That's true.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
But a lot of people won't attempt it right because
they're using all these things that make sense. I'm shot,
I don't know how to do it right. So take
a minute just for what I don't have the stones.
That's true, that's understandable, man. But that's why all the
troops you know, and say can you do this?
Speaker 4 (41:02):
I could do this?
Speaker 7 (41:03):
Like like you said, you like, don't hate them for that,
just be like, oh, they don't have it any No.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (41:08):
I went to all the guys that didn't jump in
when I got my head kicked in, I was like, all,
I just don't get your head kicked in when those
guys that's all seeing.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
This huge parallel between fights and Karen parallel.
Speaker 6 (41:19):
Yeah, yeah, so how's a fact camp, I'm.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Dying to know.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
It's going all right. I have a girl named Heather.
She must be about twenty three years old. Oh, I
have talk to her three times a week. She's so
excited and everything super. He's probably doing a great chot.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
Yeah. Is that like depressing? Almost too bubblic? Yeah? Yeah,
I take it easy? Does yeahs like?
Speaker 7 (41:41):
Uh, well I've already I was already down like twenty pounds,
right I knew that eight more pounds?
Speaker 4 (41:45):
Yeah? Yeah? Help kill this answer someone? You have to
jump around and stuff? Or is it eating? When is it?
I exercise? Anyway? Yeah? I know you did?
Speaker 5 (41:54):
You know?
Speaker 7 (41:54):
Almost no carbs. All your carbsrore like festivals and fruits.
But they have a They give you these supplements. They
send you these packages of stuff. You know, if you're hungry,
eat this.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
What's the name of the program. H let's have this? No,
not tonight, I'm calling now, but we should have coming
because the weight much like we tracked the live saved
and we're coming up on a big milestone. We could
we could also.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Track which one get five thousand first?
Speaker 1 (42:26):
At mister three, k uh keep us a breast some
that's wait, why not?
Speaker 7 (42:32):
I hope I hope you save one hundred people for
every pounds, we'll have to have a chart. 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
(42:52):
the guy's feet. So the lesson, but the lesson there is,
you know, if you're not the star any way, you
can help helps freaking absolutely.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
And we all remember that the picture and they.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Think they kept blowing it up, blowing it up and
the angle changed by foot. Yeah, that's some camera.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
And then a lot of pictures, a lot of pictures
of zooming in on a cheerleaders they taking.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Mister Brady's.
Speaker 6 (43:19):
That's a huge point because think of the subtleness that
no one would ever bring.
Speaker 7 (43:24):
That to like, be part of the team, part of
the winning team, you know, tell you how and to
show how it could affect it, not just be part
of the team.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Bill and Bill's like, suck.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (43:35):
All right? Yeah? And who knows who Bill is?
Speaker 7 (43:37):
You don't know, But a family is a team. Be
part of the team, yeah, everyone, and you never know.
We all to do what role you play? But how
the heck do we keep that message going on? Than
the Brady Bought episode from forty years ago. I don't
remember much Partridge Family, but remember lessons. But I remember Brady.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
There's a lot of business lessons in the about the
blurred line between yeah, Danny the what.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
Was going on with around the house? Yeah, sleeping with him?
Get us a better boss? What's going on with?
Speaker 6 (44:09):
Imagine if we went into Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 4 (44:11):
Oh, there's so much a psychiatrist. I didn't understand that
show at eight.
Speaker 7 (44:16):
I didn't even hit puberty at them, Like, how come
no one's jumping on these girls and I'm eight years old?
Speaker 6 (44:20):
Yeah, I was confusing, but I was into the Professor.
Speaker 4 (44:25):
Radio.
Speaker 7 (44:28):
Actually he would have been the Professor. He would have
been making some machine against the island.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Absolutely, I love that I was always making. They couldn't
patch a boat, but they get an inventiation machine. It's
unbelievable coconut radio system.

Speaker 12 (45:41):
Ben Carson Hare with a potentially life saving message. I
may be a retired neurosurgeon, but trying to help save
lives is something I'll never stop doing. Every year, this
world loses around five thousand lives that could have been
saved from choking accidents. That's why I've partnered with Life Back,
a company base right here in the U say. It's
simple to use, can be used on adults and children.
(46:04):
Plus it's guaranteed for life. Most importantly, if you ever
have to use it in an emergency, they replace it
for free.
Speaker 4 (46:12):
Join me on my.
Speaker 12 (46:12):
Mission to ensure every home, business, restaurant, and school in
this country has a life stack. Go to the Life
Act dot net and order your very own life saving
device today.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Thank you, love that, Thank you, doctor Ben Carson. We
are back on earth. Yep, we've just listened to a
commercial at least here, doctor Ben Carson. And the fact
that there's any type of controversy is just sickening. Yeah,
he might correctly.
Speaker 6 (46:40):
Yeah, No, he's him and his wife and the fault
of the human beings.
Speaker 4 (46:45):
It's no.
Speaker 6 (46:46):
I wish everyone could spend the day with them. The
world would become a better place in the next day.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
Doctor Ben Carson shout out, thanks body. And this portion
of the show we normally reserve 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, gives to Tally, but can't be with
(47:13):
a Schon family.
Speaker 6 (47:15):
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.
Oh my goodness, it's pretty cool dude too. I can't
(47:38):
say enough great things. We don't have time to say
enough great things about mister Shane foresman.
Speaker 4 (47:45):
Name. Welcome to.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
How you doing, sir? We do great?
Speaker 6 (47:53):
So quick quick story about Shane before we go in
all his accolades.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Oh lord, is.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
The last day on our adventure that.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Steve Alive multi venture no feminine.
Speaker 6 (48:05):
But so, we were out riding and I chose that
I took the bike and I was like crashing. I'm like,
I'm done. I'm gonna ride with Jackie 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 bam. Now I'm pretty sure
that the people in New York heard that. Yes right,
(48:25):
I mean we're not talking to Louis the earth moved
Yoh yeah, that the car shook and stuff smoke. So
you know, he 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 in Judy show that he said, no,
(48:48):
I'm going to finish this. So when you noticed someone
that has that kind of courage and determination and commitment
to what they said. Once again, these are easy things
to say, but when you see someone crash and not
themselves senseless and get back up, that's then you know
they're real. They're going to be next to you.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Amazing.
Speaker 4 (49:09):
He was sorry. I just I like telling about when
you crashed. It's funny.
Speaker 10 (49:16):
And then we were that was the heck of a catapult.
Speaker 6 (49:22):
Well, you got to actually see me take two crashes
because every time I passed my crash.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
That that is true.
Speaker 10 (49:29):
Those boulders saved your lives though, sir.
Speaker 5 (49:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (49:32):
And then when I the cactus too. Both times I
went win's by you, I wound up in the cactus
or a boulder.
Speaker 4 (49:39):
When's the next going there? My airbag is a cactus.
He I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
In better news, Shane receives an award for s R
O of the Year Stay in.
Speaker 10 (49:53):
Florida second place, second place.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
I would say first runner up. You know, there was
that's I was glad to see, Like 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. He said, thanks you so much. He's done
done so much for the state of Flora, so much
for his community, so much for the Life Act. I
I just thought, if there's someone else who he didn't
(50:17):
know who this person, this other sro was, if there's
someone else that's doing half of what Shane's doing, that's
good news for the state of Florida's got 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
better news for next year.
Speaker 6 (50:36):
But one last thing coming in running up, Like you said,
good second, it's 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,
(50:56):
what's you know school resource to You'll tell you 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 them and
took them in. And years later the kid wrote and said,
you really saved my life and changed it. That's why
(51:19):
I want to do it. I want to be able
to influence people. Right then, I ask then, 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 a savage because
he knows he can make a different How many did
we You got saved lives already?
Speaker 5 (51:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (51:35):
Uh? Confirmed?
Speaker 10 (51:36):
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. And the chief emailed me back literally two
weeks later and said they had their first save with
it and was very appreciative.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
To productive thousands, just like Heidi Heidi and saves. I
consider her. A lot of us have our own saves.
That's his safe, absolutely, and you know next year is
going to be the super dupid best sro ever.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
Well, guys, what is sr scheating room.
Speaker 1 (52:15):

Four of those are little people children. UH highlighted Saved
the Week and Save 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.
(53:54):
Life back was used multiple times and successfully.
Speaker 4 (53:57):
This lone is of obstruction.
Speaker 6 (54:01):
That's two heroes, our hero heroes that got laid back there.
Speaker 10 (54:06):
And 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 unresponsive
at the time of the arrival and hypoxia due to
patient skin color bluish and purple. Crews used life back
on arrival. Family performed the Heimlich with no success. Prior
to the arrival, Life BacT successfully dislodge of food and
(54:29):
the patient began to breathe again on their own. Consciousness
was slowly regained upon transport to the hospital and then

Speaker 4 (55:53):
Well, we don't.
Speaker 10 (55:54):
We don't take no for an answer period. No, no
is not in our vocabulary, sir.
Speaker 4 (56:00):
Can't nice that that could be a follow up to
the book.
Speaker 1 (56:03):
Sorry, can't just all no is not nor vocabulary.
Speaker 4 (56:06):
I heard a lot like the next book was You're
Fast and Strong Women's that's not a bad title. A
lot my life.
Speaker 1 (56:17):
Well, Shane, we thank you so much for joining us
tonight filling in for Ray Breeby. I did a great job.
Hopefully next week we have either you or someone else
of equal stature to fill in for with us. Let's

Speaker 6 (56:33):
Thanks good, all right, hey, thanks buddy job.
Speaker 1 (56:42):
And now it's time for micro Take us away, Take
us away, Thanks so much. Life actors, it's no joke.
Speaker 4 (56:51):
When you choked life back and without breath, they'll be death.
Cigad life. You got life back, and got
Speaker 1 (57:03):
Life back, Lie back life back and live life back
and leave
And we're back on the Man in the arena. It's
been a great show so far. It's only going to
get better from here. I'm Rick Thatcher, along with Paddle
Rourke and Heidi Felix, vice president of Sales Life Fact. Heidi,
you've been talking to me about Ed Kosiak for quite
some time. I know that you guys did something magical
in Washington, but tell us about how you met Ed.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well, actually I met Ed 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.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Probably about two years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Right, I'm thinking Ed's.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Spoiled the surprise. Ed Kosiak joins us from the mountains
on a lake in a kayak with a paddle Kak.
Welcome to the Joser. Everybody's great, amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
He's just a dynamo.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
So Ed single handedly coordinated the fifth annual National CPR
and ad Rally in Washington.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
D C.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
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 from the meet and greet,
getting a chance to meet all the people that were participating.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
There was hundreds of people that were survivors.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
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.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So I'm a big advocate.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
For hands on CPR and ADS and so Ed goes
across the entire country and trains for his charity that
is called Every Second Counts.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
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 after what happened.
So take it away, sure, sure.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
So back in that day, I was a normal fifty
one year old guy. I was trying to stay fit.
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 I didn't really understand it.
That day, I had run ten miles, I did some
(02:26):
hot yoga, and I was just craving Chick fil A.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Who doesn't who doesn't it?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
So then I just go in there. My wife didn't
want to go there, so I talked to her a going,
so we went. We got there about two o'clock or so.
Everything was fine. I was doing great, and all of
a sudden, I got sweaty, we got clammy. I got dizzy,
and I said, oh, I better get out of here.
(02:55):
I need some water, I need some fresh air, I
eat something. I started to attempt to get up, and
I just collapsed. And that's all I remembered.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
You went out, and then.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Then I 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.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I call her, Yes, Sarah saved your life the chick.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Fil at Chick fil A, I'm a Chick fil A
on the floor.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
And she's a high school girl.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
At the time I collapsed on the floor, the manager yelled,
as 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 the medical program,
so she knew knew.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
What to do, and the ad 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 this.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
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. Firemen luckily got there in time. Shocked
me three times, nothing the fourth shock they got a
rhythm back.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Incredible.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
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 1 (04:41):
No, ed, at this point, are you in first aid
or do you have any any training before this?
Speaker 5 (04:48):
No that No, Like I said, I'm this is.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Just a normal fifty one year.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Old be out there a lot of people don't think
it's going to happen to them m 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 1 (05:06):
Now, is this your full time at this point? No,
every second time.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I'm a real estate broker.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
After I survived, I did some soul searching and trying
to figure out where I fit in in this whole 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'm like, what is wrong with people?
(05:35):
Why can't they come and help? What if that was
a brother, uncle, ron, a cousin. When you help, when
you hope that somebody would come help.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
We hear this a lot with with life back stories
of saving in fact great previous.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
So I got involved with passing along Florida, where all
high school kids have to know CPR. I was on
cloud now. I felt 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 take teach CPR across the nation. Amazing and
(06:15):
it 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 1 (06:26):
Yeah, now tell me tell the people. We don't tell
us about this latest trip at Heidi joins you on
down in Washington, d C. As we were there a
couple of weeks earlier. But I loved, loved the story.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
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 or so
people can start listening, especially at lawmakers that will understand.
We need more 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 I
(07:00):
finally figured out if I was going to invite people
they needed to. 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
(07:20):
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 seventh for CPR a ED Awareness week.
They gave us that platform and nobody's ever used it,
so I said, why don't use it? And we're going
to use it at the nation's capital.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And we're literally there. We're at the Capitol.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
And what I loved is the congresswoman who came out
that you worked with on that bill, and she was
talking about she was.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
With the heart attack. She wasn't on that bill.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Oh, she wasn't on that bill. She was on the
AED bill.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Right, Yeah, So talk about your website and the foundation.
Where can people.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I want to know where I fit in. So why
the CPR Because I want more people in the public
to understand that you do not have to be certified
to save a light. You do not have to you cannot.
You know, people are afraid afraid of AEDs. They look
at AEDs in a box and they don't think it's
for them to touch. The people got to start understanding.
(08:23):
We The EMS response times anywhere from eight to twelve
minutes at any 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 cause
we do, we have anybody doing anything in between. The
(08:43):
reason I'm alive is because that Mike Sarah jumped into
action and started those compressions, and she kept the oxygen flowing,
the blood flowing, and luckily out of ten that survives
a CARGE arrest and everything went well. But that's never
the case, and we need to change that by more
bystanders helping out because once our paramedics and firemen get there,
(09:06):
they'll take over. But it's those important moments between that
is what's going to help change the survival rates.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You were trying to set a record, right how many
people did we train that day at the Washington Monument.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
We had about a thousand. Last year we did eighteen hundred.
And what that really consists of is 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.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
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, 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 ed.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
We help you raise awareness tonight, and we will pledge
to continue with Heidi's help and with the whole Life
Act team behind you. We're going to be there with
you next year. And we thank you so much for
joining us tonight at KOSK. Everybody, thank you.
Speaker 6 (10:15):

think we all been talking about the preparation for the show,
talked about Karen for caring for our loved ones, our family.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
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 right. 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. Hey,
(12:25):
you want to play cards and that I can't can't? Yeah,
well you didn't even think about it. 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

Speaker 6 (12:53):
You may have seen them in movies and TV, yes
or maybe not. But more importantly this clip from Jim
brew were he's stimulated this whole thought and that's why
Stevie's here.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yeah, Jim Brewer, local comic. We've kind of grown up
with him, like he from a very early age. But
then he started to share some of his things that
were going on with his family. I remember him well
and sharing childhood or child bearing.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Have you I met him once or twice yet?
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Yess Like I love his shows. He's clean, you know,
but he's hysterical. A lot of energy, yes, a lot
of energy.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So let's hear Jim Brewer, small clip, Bobby.
Speaker 9 (13:33):
Not the easiest thing in the world to take care
of elderly, especially if they're your own, because you're still
attached to this is my mom and this is my dad,
and my father shouldn't be this way.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
My mother shouldn't be this way.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
This is not the way it's supposed to be. So
you get caught up in that. My dad, they didn't
know if it was a mini stroke. It wasn't me stroke.
I think the worst part was when he had the
bad reaction in the medicine.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
He was done.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
They'd stuck him in the hospital a couple of days,
and he came back and he was off and everyone
was like, he needs a twenty four hour nurse. You
need help. And during that time, the decision was he's
gonna have people come and take care of him. He
was definitely embarrassed to have someone else scrubbing him. I
can tell this was more of a convenience for everyone
(14:23):
who just didn't want to deal. I had to make
a decision where, all, right, is this really right or
is he going to get so much more out of
I'm committing to this, get everyone out of here.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I will do this.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
How hard can it be to wash him? And I
tell you, it was the beginning of one of the
greatest experiences in my life.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Hey you.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
And the minute I said, I can do this, and
I'll make it a project, and I'll do it my way,
and I'll find out what makes him come, what makes himcomfortable.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Which golf just came out with their brand new color,
the dark Forest in their.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Air, enough of the advertisement that here's the thing, right
and me and you're gonna be able to talk about this,
you guys chime in. But I was unable to make
that decision. I hope I would have had the courage
to say I'll do it, but it was COVID, right,
so there was no option.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I couldn't put him in a home.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
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 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
(15:45):
of my life. Right, So now you combine that, I
just can't do it anymore. Okay, is that work a
step back? Not only like he says, because I did that,
I washed them, 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.
(16:07):
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 to get there. And if
you look at it that way, it all changes. My
niece can come, my nephew can come, my neighble looves
my dad. He could show up once in a while,
and before you know it, you've got a manageable situation.
(16:28):
Right now, we this is Steve Olivari. If you stebody,
he's extremely handsome.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yes, and bold. You're bold.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
But remember as your dad went, I was like feeding
you advice. But tell your father story about how clear
he made the decision for you.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
To take care of whom his father. Oh it was.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
It was a proud 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 that you.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Were in trouble.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Many times I was in trouble because his dad was
a very cut and dry He was.
Speaker 8 (17:18):
Very cut and dry, so you know, basically he's very religious.
I never you didn't want me to ask him for money,
and he told me never to bring home police or
any pregnant women.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yes, all right, so you were giving clear instructions no,
no women, no pregnant women, regular women. Find I meant
no regular women, unpregnated.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Women, okay, and no police, and don't ask him for money, right, and.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
If you stay in the house, you get a job.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I like those.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
But it was very easy, clear, very precise.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
The time I tackled your mom and we were rolling
around the floor, yes, he comes walking in and he's like,
why is your friend the top of mom?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It was pretty funny. That's another thing.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Go ahead, Yeah, I would like that one, pat, Why.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Is Arthur on top of mom?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
So?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
How did he makeet very clear of what?
Speaker 8 (18:11):
So ten years ago he got I was by myself
in my house about ten years ago, and uh, nobody
was around, and he's in the kitchen. He's got a
cane with him and he's like, hey, I want to
talk to you, and uh, he gives me one of these.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
This is how it was going to go down. You know.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
It's like I'm watching you and I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like nineteen again, I did something wrong. He said
it 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 going to 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
(18:49):
the house. He's like, you're looking at me, and he
goes yeah, and he goes when I go, you're going
to cart me out of my house, That's how I'm going.
He takes his hand, he shoves it into my chest
as best he could, and I'm like, oh my god,
this is like I'm twenty now.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Do you know that he is not well at this point?
Speaker 10 (19:05):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
You know he was.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
He was.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
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 up. I said, we're
caughting dad out of the house. I said, not today,
but said whatever, when it happens, it's going to happen.
And I said to him, I'm never bringing up the
conversation again about asking him to sell us house.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
So my brother's like, okay, we're going to do it right.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
And we've you know, he had some memory loss things
and already from his trial.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Well wait, let me tell you for a second, because
in that the I can't take care of him anymore.
Neither one of us really had a choice. Steve's father
told you something. You were like, okay, do right. That
guy's going out with his boots on that man, and
he did.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
But so here's the thing, right, so neither one of
us had the choice that Jim Brewer was courageous enough
to address and make a decision. We found out that
it could be the greatest e aparians of your life.
So the message is to consider that part right. So
as I had gone through it, so me and Steve
and we talked about well we we talk about God.
(20:11):
We talk about it, talk about it off that you
can't talk about on the here.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
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? Of the tenacity, the sticktuitiveness,
(20:37):
the amazing mind of Arthur Lee.
Speaker 8 (20:40):
Well, it was saying, I've seen a bunch of other
fabulous invention but right that day that I told the story.
The next day literally on my cell phone was pictures
of the and put a mask on.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
It was an early design work and he and he
and I'm like, what is that? And he's yeah, but
if you whittle it down, that was all because of Jackie,
because I know a seven year old could die and
who she could die?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
And that's not ejaculate your daughter.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Giant plans until the Devil and the Angel, but just
stick to this right so you know, Steve would face things.
I'd say, you know, get the camera, you can have
it on your cell phone. That worked great because you
could talk to you dad. My dad wasn't right eventually.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
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.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
What you know, that's a great idea. Good look.
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Well with my dad off a new had you know,
had some you know, traction on it, and he you know,
told me cameras put in the house and this, and
I I did all that, and I got conversations of
you know, square rolls coming.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Up to people were raccoons, were the raccoons?
Speaker 8 (21:57):
And we had people, we had people living in there
was something.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Squatters, slaters. How did they get in the He thought that.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
He thought, now, once again, this goes into what Brewer
said about and why it's easy to go I can't
do it. 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 Griffith today. And I watched it
at three o'clock in the morning when he had eggs
(22:29):
and you know, there was holding him and carrying him
and all those things. But if you look into what
brew was saying, and look what Steve and I went through,
wouldn't change it.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
For the world. Right. And then here's the other thing.
If you change that.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Language, you say I'm gonna do this, you get to
prize that how many things can help you, right, like
the cameras or the mats that beat the bedrails.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's a matter of how you look at it. If
you get to do it, if you have that opportunity,
absolutely right, 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 7 (23:13):
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 4 (23:18):
Right.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
But we have to be 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 4 (23:32):
How hard is it?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
You can wash him, you can feed them, you know,
we get so afraid. I had to take care of
my father in the last freaking five days of his life,
and they went fast, and I was learning how to
roll them on a bed and clean them. But you
know what you could do it you ain't and me
and you would have numerate. Well, we had a lot
of fun with the people in the as. Yeah, people
(23:53):
coming in through the windows.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Dogs came up the side of the house.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, it's intimidating.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
You start it like any job or any shore, right,
and then you look back and go, I was afraid
to do that, right.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
You know I could do that again.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
But that's the dating glive message here that consider you're
a don't can't it right away? Don't say I have
to put them somewhere right. You may right, And obviously
there are conditions and lives that we cannot can't I said,
cannot make that sacrifice. But if we go into it saying,
(24:27):
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's a manageable situation.
And you know, I had some great moments sitting with
my dad's.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
I'm 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 them. Sometimes you're
not getting anything back, but it's totally worth it, you know,
That's why you're there.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Get that, of course, of course.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
But the 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 6 (25:07):
But that's where you got offend it off with the
gratitude that you had him, And that's that's another episode.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
But here, think of this.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
Do you do you feel in that time when we
were you know, people in the attic, we're watching them
on cameras and all that take them to nine lion Doc?
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Did you have moments like you and him riding in
the car. Oh, yeah, there was one that sticks in
your head.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
The day he died. Yeah, the day he died.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
He wanted to watch him at playing Philly was supposed
to wake him up, and.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Uh, and that killed another person.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
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 see pr called.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Nine one one.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
He never came back you know. But that night, you
know that we called the mortician, came in and they
took them. And as I'm walking and he's coming down
the stairs, you know, it's kind of horrible. He's in
a body bag and stuff like that. And there's beauty
in the whole thing because as we're walking out of
the house, I'm next to my brother. It is dad
(26:11):
and we carted him out of the house exactly. He
got his wish.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
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?
Talk about the website where you can get your own copy.
After this message, she.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Started to choke on a piece of candy.
Speaker 11 (26:48):
She wasn't breathing.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Then Ray reached for the life back and it saved her.
Speaker 11 (26:53):
She could have easily died that day. A life back
saved her life. What I would say is, don't need
a life fact and not have it. Have a life
back and hopefully never need it.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Recently, the American Red Cross has added anti joking devices
as an option when standard protocol fails is not feasible.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
Go to lifefac dot net or called eight seven seven
five four three three eight two two.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yes, I've always said it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Get everybody. Welcome back to the man in the arena.
I'm Rick Ftcher along with Arthur Lee, Steve ali Very
and Patrick o'roorcan. Before the break, we were talking about
a very you know, poignant moment in.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Steve life break. You know that's a real break.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Pardon, but you know what taking that.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Out 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 alerted it for you
want it. And that's another thing we have to keep
in mind. And he Brewer alludes to him. And I
know I faced it because my dad was like please,
you know, he wanted to move there, and he was
(27:53):
very reluctant to tell the people. Then he wound up
loving it because they get him food and stuff. But
the 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
(28:14):
even and all those things 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,
and we talked about it what was coming next. But
you know, your father left on his own term pretty
much told.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
You what was going.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
That's how that's how we lived.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
His life killed many people.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
But the I don't know if that's the appropriate time
to bring sports into this. I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
It's the Mets, Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
My dad was a Dodger fan.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
They became met fans, so we kind of had that
in our repertoire and talking about them and remembering them.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
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 it was about a month, month
and a half by myself, by yourself.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
Yeah, because my sister was a doctor. She was on front.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Like COVID, Yes, coldd really affect out of us.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
That she couldn't come over.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, Now did COVID effect your dad?
Speaker 8 (29:22):
We went in and out of the house and you
know he stood there. He didn't travel around or anything
like that. 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 6 (29:38):
One of my memories was because I bought the fireboat.
Remember you can't so fireboat. Yeah, it was a used
fireboat that had like a landing craft, like when you.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Pretend like this is a common thing, like naturally, Yeah,
we all got fire boat's going.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Remember that time we all took I have an airport
fire truck yellow red. My dad loved to be a boat.
He loved to be on the water.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
And you know, when you're in a wheelchair, getting someone
the boat is really difficult now and dangerous. So we
foundly used fireboat that came down like a landing crept,
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 well, I'm saying, do you want to
(30:30):
go for a ride a storm at beach? You know
he was a Viking. He really was into that. Storming part.
But we so we we took him for ride and
Steve came to one of his I knew it was
getting to the end, so I brought Steve and Singer
and my cousin and you know, we went out and
we all would together. But on that ride, I have
a picture of him sticking his tongue out, so like
(30:54):
you know, when you fend off the sadness, you bring
in those memories. And I remember towards the end, 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 (31:09):
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 6 (31:17):
He was into the Steve. Steve was involved in the
bubble over Niagara. He was going to have to drive choking. Yes,
you open up a cat works.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Let's you remind the audience of all all that your
dad accomplished during his life, work, engineers, working, as.
Speaker 6 (31:36):
You know in the back of that is he put
helped put.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
A man in the moon, anything as possible.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
It taught me how to figure stuff out, because no
one figures anything out. But yeah, it was a lot
of great things.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
That has a daughter who's a doctor that you.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And lunatic, but man who changed the world.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
But if the 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
(32:14):
was there, Steve was there, his brother's dad. That guy
went out smiling.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
You know.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
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 prior 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. I trust me,
(32:40):
I'm talking to him. But so what, so what?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Right? Looking back? So what?
Speaker 6 (32:46):
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 man and talk about this again
because the gift you get if you're willing to pursue,
and it's if you take it and look at life
back you look at something that seems just I'm not
able to do it.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
It's too much.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
I can't make them out of the product of my
garage and get them from a deep and time into
a life day worldwide.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I just did it.
Speaker 6 (33:13):
You did it, and you were there. You've seen it all.
You saw my first ear wax Coe.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Two.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Great opportunity broing out where folks can go. Go to
www dot life fact dot net. Please go there, use
the code m I T A. You can get a
copy of the book. Sorry, candis a lie? Yeah, you
get the book. Sorry, can's a lie. You can also
get life saving device be where the knockoffs be, where
the counterfeits. Go to life fact dot net and please
(33:40):
get yourself protected.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
You know I was where we talked and you remember
Davy and Goliath, right and Brady.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
That would be Roll. So I was talking to Pat.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
I said, you know that the show is kind of
evolving into taking the book kind of file forhilosophy of
how we got to who we are, And I said,
we grow.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
What was your first show.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
And yet, I mean the Brady Bunch of what show
any show that you learned a lesson from?
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Bugs Bunny?
Speaker 7 (34:10):
Oh my god, I remember Saturday mornings watching those, watching
those shows in the road Runner. Yeah, but I didn't
really learn lessons from them. That's the first show I
remember watching them. But like the Brady Bunch, I mean,
you know, Bobby Brady was an asshole, but no one
came to his party, all right, Like, don't be a
bad guy because people would come to you.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
There you go.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
And to this day we still talk about well being
someone's backyard, but.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Like this is a Bobby Brady part. We still have
that in our heads. Yeah, but think about it.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
In that show kind of there was always almost it
was learning on TikTok, which is wrong, which.
Speaker 6 (34:46):
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.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
But and then, I mean, 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 I
want to teach my kids.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Wait, episode, do you have an episode and you had
Davy Glide, Brady Bunks, parts of Family.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
On the Fan? Anything, Well you just blank and blank.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
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 4 (35:25):
Right away. You remember, I remember Bobby Brady.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Said don't play ball in the house. I mean, there
are so many about I mean, I think with the
Brady Bunch would be the most.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
Uh do you remember so where Cindy's getting picked arm
like and mister Brady's trying to be cool and stuff
and keep calm and.
Speaker 4 (35:43):
A little.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Everybody everybody uses the term example, But was it Bobby
that was a stinker? And everyone and they.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
My brother Jimmy beat up a kid one time pretty badly.
He was ticking on 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 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?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
She was like my father to when you when you
get someone you hurt.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
Yeah, in the book is the three o'clock high story, right,
And that was the way it was.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
You know, yeah, you might get in him. Takes courage,
and look.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Folks were not navigating violence, ravigating standing up for.
Speaker 7 (36:32):
Yourself and unless everyone should getting one fist fight in
their life before their twenty or seven, but I got
too many.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, well you elquate that three o'clock high story to
an actual event. Now, when I read your book, sorry,
cancas a lie, I identified not only with the references
the shows, but also the people. So I knew exactly
who you were talking about. 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.
(37:00):
I absolutely know that you were ready. You already prepared,
You knew it was going to happen.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
But I wanted them beat up. I forgot everyone was
going to beat them 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 the fight. Well, you gotta have courage to
getting a fight. You have to have courage, right, There
is no you could pretend you don't like violence. All right, Well,
(37:27):
then I punch in the face. You know that you're
going to be scared, but not that we have gay violence.
But when we 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
(37:49):
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 7 (38:00):
So I always tell my sons, if you're to 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.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
Would hurt more. I should have took care of him.
I should have done that.
Speaker 6 (38:14):
Well, I remember copping on fighting third grade. 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. But you don't have a
good violence.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
When you're when.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
You're contemplating the challenge of taking care of your parents,
right that like you would be like, and I see
you do you know we used to make a lot
of fun too, but you know, get the camera, get
the mat. You got this. There's guys in the attic.
Put a camera in the attic and show them they're
not there. I told you that we should hang out
in the attic with them.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Yes, you wanted to come over, and I thought that
would be fun. You guys did confirm that was right. No,
there's guys. They were really guys, pagans. You were making.
Speaker 8 (38:58):
Sure since you see beautiful things to your parents that
you never saw when they would take the area, right,
because now you're taking cam if they took care of you, right.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
But you gotta laugh. Oh you can't. You can't let Paul.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
Dad's got people in el sorry, tell the shot to
tell us now a little bit.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Have the party done by? Oh okay, Paul later, Well
you had Paul and you had Lisa. I'm interested to
hear because sometimes this stress of this situation drives families apart.
It sounds like both of you got closer. Oh yeah, definitely,
definitely about laughs.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
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 in, and
you kind of want to make sure and not have
animosity because not everyone can jump in.
Speaker 4 (39:47):
Everyone's you know, could say you would.
Speaker 6 (39:50):
We've got lots of roles, but the one on the
badge party it's awesome. But anyway, well that's another show.
But the point of the matter is courage is you
can understand that fear right, some people just don't have
the capability, and that's fine. You don't want animosi say
I understand, but it's got to be talked about and
(40:10):
got to be felt. I mean, 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, and.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Whoever, you don't get many chances you have to care
for on their way out.
Speaker 6 (40:27):
But look, the part of the Davy and Goliath punch
Bobby in the face is think about that fact that
it could be good.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
It could be the.
Speaker 6 (40:36):
Greatest moment in your life.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Probably won't be silver linings. You learn from everything, but ain't.
That's true.
Speaker 6 (40:42):
But a lot of people won't attempt it right because
they're using all these things that make sense. I'm shot,
I don't know how to do it right. So take
a minute just for what I don't have the stones.
That's true, that's understandable, man. But that's why all the
troops you know, and say can you do this?
Speaker 4 (41:02):
I could do this?
Speaker 7 (41:03):
Like like you said, you like, don't hate them for that,
just be like, oh, they don't have it any No.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (41:08):
I went to all the guys that didn't jump in
when I got my head kicked in, I was like, all,
I just don't get your head kicked in when those
guys that's all seeing.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
This huge parallel between fights and Karen parallel.
Speaker 6 (41:19):
Yeah, yeah, so how's a fact camp, I'm.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Dying to know.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
It's going all right. I have a girl named Heather.
She must be about twenty three years old. Oh, I
have talk to her three times a week. She's so
excited and everything super. He's probably doing a great chot.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
Yeah. Is that like depressing? Almost too bubblic? Yeah? Yeah,
I take it easy? Does yeahs like?
Speaker 7 (41:41):
Uh, well I've already I was already down like twenty pounds,
right I knew that eight more pounds?
Speaker 4 (41:45):
Yeah? Yeah? Help kill this answer someone? You have to
jump around and stuff? Or is it eating? When is it?
I exercise? Anyway? Yeah? I know you did?
Speaker 5 (41:54):
You know?
Speaker 7 (41:54):
Almost no carbs. All your carbsrore like festivals and fruits.
But they have a They give you these supplements. They
send you these packages of stuff. You know, if you're hungry,
eat this.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
What's the name of the program. H let's have this? No,
not tonight, I'm calling now, but we should have coming
because the weight much like we tracked the live saved
and we're coming up on a big milestone. We could
we could also.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Track which one get five thousand first?
Speaker 1 (42:26):
At mister three, k uh keep us a breast some
that's wait, why not?
Speaker 7 (42:32):
I hope I hope you save one hundred people for
every pounds, we'll have to have a chart. 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
(42:52):
the guy's feet. So the lesson, but the lesson there is,
you know, if you're not the star any way, you
can help helps freaking absolutely.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
And we all remember that the picture and they.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Think they kept blowing it up, blowing it up and
the angle changed by foot. Yeah, that's some camera.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
And then a lot of pictures, a lot of pictures
of zooming in on a cheerleaders they taking.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Mister Brady's.
Speaker 6 (43:19):
That's a huge point because think of the subtleness that
no one would ever bring.
Speaker 7 (43:24):
That to like, be part of the team, part of
the winning team, you know, tell you how and to
show how it could affect it, not just be part
of the team.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Bill and Bill's like, suck.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (43:35):
All right? Yeah? And who knows who Bill is?
Speaker 7 (43:37):
You don't know, But a family is a team. Be
part of the team, yeah, everyone, and you never know.
We all to do what role you play? But how
the heck do we keep that message going on? Than
the Brady Bought episode from forty years ago. I don't
remember much Partridge Family, but remember lessons. But I remember Brady.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
There's a lot of business lessons in the about the
blurred line between yeah, Danny the what.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
Was going on with around the house? Yeah, sleeping with him?
Get us a better boss? What's going on with?
Speaker 6 (44:09):
Imagine if we went into Gilligan's Island.
Speaker 4 (44:11):
Oh, there's so much a psychiatrist. I didn't understand that
show at eight.
Speaker 7 (44:16):
I didn't even hit puberty at them, Like, how come
no one's jumping on these girls and I'm eight years old?
Speaker 6 (44:20):
Yeah, I was confusing, but I was into the Professor.
Speaker 4 (44:25):
Radio.
Speaker 7 (44:28):
Actually he would have been the Professor. He would have
been making some machine against the island.
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Absolutely, I love that I was always making. They couldn't
patch a boat, but they get an inventiation machine. It's
unbelievable coconut radio system.
Speaker 6 (44:41):
But you can't fill all of the boats filed so clo,
come on, wait, Mary and Ginger Ginger nice of course,
Yeah you Ginger really wasts like this.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
But my friend plays in a band. Jim Bobich plays
in a band. Maryanne was Hotter.
Speaker 4 (44:56):
That's the name of this that's the song. I mean,
that's pretty cool. Yeah, but I gotta go Ginger one.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
Yeah, Love Love.
Speaker 4 (45:09):
He's a close third.
Speaker 5 (45:10):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Was that about? Guess what? Guys, Time are so good
that no one watches Time for a break. We're going
to go out, come back. We're going to talk to
a guest surprise filling in for mister three thousand. We'll
be back with more Man in the arena after this message.
Speaker 12 (45:41):
Ben Carson Hare with a potentially life saving message. I
may be a retired neurosurgeon, but trying to help save
lives is something I'll never stop doing. Every year, this
world loses around five thousand lives that could have been
saved from choking accidents. That's why I've partnered with Life Back,
a company base right here in the U say. It's
simple to use, can be used on adults and children.
(46:04):
Plus it's guaranteed for life. Most importantly, if you ever
have to use it in an emergency, they replace it
for free.
Speaker 4 (46:12):
Join me on my.
Speaker 12 (46:12):
Mission to ensure every home, business, restaurant, and school in
this country has a life stack. Go to the Life
Act dot net and order your very own life saving
device today.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Thank you, love that, Thank you, doctor Ben Carson. We
are back on earth. Yep, we've just listened to a
commercial at least here, doctor Ben Carson. And the fact
that there's any type of controversy is just sickening. Yeah,
he might correctly.
Speaker 6 (46:40):
Yeah, No, he's him and his wife and the fault
of the human beings.
Speaker 4 (46:45):
It's no.
Speaker 6 (46:46):
I wish everyone could spend the day with them. The
world would become a better place in the next day.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
Doctor Ben Carson shout out, thanks body. And this portion
of the show we normally reserve 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, gives to Tally, but can't be with
(47:13):
a Schon family.
Speaker 6 (47:15):
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.
Oh my goodness, it's pretty cool dude too. I can't
(47:38):
say enough great things. We don't have time to say
enough great things about mister Shane foresman.
Speaker 4 (47:45):
Name. Welcome to.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
How you doing, sir? We do great?
Speaker 6 (47:53):
So quick quick story about Shane before we go in
all his accolades.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Oh lord, is.
Speaker 4 (48:00):
The last day on our adventure that.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Steve Alive multi venture no feminine.
Speaker 6 (48:05):
But so, we were out riding and I chose that
I took the bike and I was like crashing. I'm like,
I'm done. I'm gonna ride with Jackie 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 bam. Now I'm pretty sure
that the people in New York heard that. Yes right,
(48:25):
I mean we're not talking to Louis the earth moved
Yoh yeah, that the car shook and stuff smoke. So
you know, he 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 in Judy show that he said, no,
(48:48):
I'm going to finish this. So when you noticed someone
that has that kind of courage and determination and commitment
to what they said. Once again, these are easy things
to say, but when you see someone crash and not
themselves senseless and get back up, that's then you know
they're real. They're going to be next to you.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
Amazing.
Speaker 4 (49:09):
He was sorry. I just I like telling about when
you crashed. It's funny.
Speaker 10 (49:16):
And then we were that was the heck of a catapult.
Speaker 6 (49:22):
Well, you got to actually see me take two crashes
because every time I passed my crash.
Speaker 1 (49:28):
That that is true.
Speaker 10 (49:29):
Those boulders saved your lives though, sir.
Speaker 5 (49:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (49:32):
And then when I the cactus too. Both times I
went win's by you, I wound up in the cactus
or a boulder.
Speaker 4 (49:39):
When's the next going there? My airbag is a cactus.
He I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
In better news, Shane receives an award for s R
O of the Year Stay in.
Speaker 10 (49:53):
Florida second place, second place.
Speaker 1 (49:56):
I would say first runner up. You know, there was
that's I was glad to see, Like 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. He said, thanks you so much. He's done
done so much for the state of Flora, so much
for his community, so much for the Life Act. I
I just thought, if there's someone else who he didn't
(50:17):
know who this person, this other sro was, if there's
someone else that's doing half of what Shane's doing, that's
good news for the state of Florida's got 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
better news for next year.
Speaker 6 (50:36):
But one last thing coming in running up, Like you said,
good second, it's 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,
(50:56):
what's you know school resource to You'll tell you 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 them and
took them in. And years later the kid wrote and said,
you really saved my life and changed it. That's why
(51:19):
I want to do it. I want to be able
to influence people. Right then, I ask then, 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 a savage because
he knows he can make a different How many did
we You got saved lives already?
Speaker 5 (51:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (51:35):
Uh? Confirmed?
Speaker 10 (51:36):
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. And the chief emailed me back literally two
weeks later and said they had their first save with
it and was very appreciative.
Speaker 6 (51:57):
To productive thousands, just like Heidi Heidi and saves. I
consider her. A lot of us have our own saves.
That's his safe, absolutely, and you know next year is
going to be the super dupid best sro ever.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
Well, guys, what is sr scheating room.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
