Speaker 6 (00:27):
So great to hear the golden tones of Mike Row
singing the Life Fact Song. So, dear friends of Life Fact,
welcome back to in the arena. We make it easy
for male female both. Today we're joined by our special guest,
Alicia Malone for a heartfelt conversation around a chapter from
Arthur Lee's book, The inspiring book Sorry Can't Just a Lie. Together,
(00:48):
we'll explore accidental rudeness and the lessons it holds about grace, understanding,
and how we treat one another in everyday life.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I wish I could burp right now. Wouldn't it be great?
Just burped? You guys can do that, just burp whatever
they want.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
Well, what about fort like that, like.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Don't bring it there, your company's watching, Come on, get
it over. The kids fought. It's coming out of the attic,
not the basement.
Speaker 7 (01:14):
But will you will you a it's funny, I'll fart
and let people know.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Or there's nothing more hilarious than that.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
There is if you got the guts to pull it off.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I'm golfing with what. I'm golfing up by myself with
three other guys I don't know, strangers, and two of
them are like in their seventies. This is like ten
years ago. You know, you get hooked up with guys
when you go to God right, sure, and the seventy
year olds on the tee and he he just farts.
All three of mus look at each other and almost
fall that left, like we're all grown men.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
But when it comes to that, I'm a blesser, you
know something certainly the sneeze. But if someone were too uh,
you'd say, I would say God bless you. Yeah, well yeah,
why not.
Speaker 8 (01:51):
There's a certain courage and it's comedy, right you think
about it. You gotta have guts to take the shot
at the joke or the fart. But it can be
rude to like you can write. You're in a car
with your buddies.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
It is by the way, and wondering who you're listening to.
My name is Rick Thatcher, one of the hosts of
the Man in the Arena, and you're listening to Patrick O'Rourke,
world renowned comedian and Arthur Lee CEO, inventor of the
life act device.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Really world renowned.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Oh yes, well the quick thing man.
Speaker 8 (02:20):
We had two things that we discussed with you chat
about a little bit at the beginning. And I watched
your show You Guys Do Box, and I was having
watched it many times and been as the honor of
throwing you out as Sam Man. I love his shows.
I think they're great. They teach history, they're funny, it's inspiring.
It's really great and anyone that hasn't seen Brian's show
(02:42):
really should go.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
You'll have an opportunity coming up in Virginia Beach.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
But the month you add this, uh it's Richmond.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Did I say Virginia Beach.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
Yeah, if you go to the Richmond, Virginia seven guys,
we're likely to go to the wrong airport at times.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
There's a whole the whole our story.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
We did go to the wrong airport last weekend.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Yeah, there you go. Well, he's going on.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
One hundred dollars, can change your ticket.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
We adapted Wait, but this show was different because you
had some really high profile actors.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Sure, Colonel Allen West filled in for Frederick Douglas and
Booker T. Washington in the skits, and will Kine made
a triumphant return to this.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
He looks like he did good.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
He did, he loved it. He was he he can't fail.
He walked out. They started cheering it. You didn't.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Well, you know what I was thinking.
Speaker 8 (03:28):
I think this could begin the the kind of the
guests on love Boat, the guests on happy Days, the guests.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
On you know available, There you go, that's exactly alive.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
She was always on lovel But that's my point.
Speaker 8 (03:49):
Wouldn't it be cool if that, Like I was always
so excited and honored to throw you out, like because
you were part of it.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
It was cool as heck.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
And then when I saw that you had these high
rangeing people and the interactions like for you guys, that
I'd be a little nerve wracking.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
No, it's also very official. How we write the script
to in a hotel lobby, you're gonna.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Say yeah, yeah, and it's supposed to be in prov
But I think for me, more nerves were when we
did it with Pete heg Seth, Rachel Campbell Stuffy and
the lovely Carly Shimkis not that?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Not that? Rachel Campbell Stuffy isn't lovely yourself, but both
of them.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
But were they in the skit?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
They were in the skits that was back in That
was two or three years ago. Yeah, during COVID, Wow,
how was that nerve wracking? A lot of fun?
Speaker 7 (04:35):
It was se agency you say, nerve wragging him saying.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So he pulled up his sleeve to show the we
the people tattoo on his arm. And he was George
Washington too, so that's cool. He's also very tall, I
mean right, so a bunch of hoops at the Princeton.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Now I understand, I understand.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
In Richmond, Lawrence is going to be Lawrence Jones, who
was also like six five.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
Very.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Except Brian beat him in the planks, didn't.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
He He did?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Yeah, see Celtic Pride.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Brian's in better shape than you think. He's a lot
of guns going, he's doing a lot of curls for girls.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Yes, he's looking good.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
But you enjoyed. You enjoyed the show in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I loved it. Yeah. Sometimes when people in prov though, like,
there's a rule to improviously, you always have to give
the guys. It can't be no, Yeah, the answer has
to be yes, en yes, open and he was just, uh,
you know, Colonel West. I actually said at one point,
you know, it's tough to improv with the colonel.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I asked him, yes, oh, there were a lot of
laughs and I think, uh at off stage. I asked
him after the first scene where I know he was
going way off you know, Colonel West, did you have
you done any improv?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
He says, I was in the Marines. What do you think? Okay,
pretty good answer.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Did you did you try any new material? Anything?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Go a couple of new jokes that we did a
big thing about Dallas and uh well the football teams,
but that wasn't even a joke. It was just to
get the crowd on your side. And what else?
Speaker 6 (06:01):
I think the introduction of the visual I think the
introduction of the.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Visual com we now have pictures behind me off some
of my jokes that Rick is the producer in stage
hand on the side, I.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Got to hit the clicker at the right time.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
They've got to come to the show to see it.
Though it's unbelievable. Well, it's actually very believable.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
Iigh recommended this is the first one you've missed, Arthur
in a while.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
I mean, I love going then whenever I could. You know,
it's kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Cool if it's nearest beach house hell show.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Yeah, but Dallas was like a real area. I love
the ven News.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Win Spear wind Spear Opera house. And they had a
shandily Is coming out of the roof, forty eight different
engines on it. Yeah, that was like six million dollars
just for the shandely Is coming out of the right.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
That was cool. A little clip of it.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It was really And the guy was showing us before
the show. He goes to Christmas, we make a Christmas tree.
But these shows we do this. For these shows, we
do that. We can change all the colors.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
But I think that's part of what is, you know,
the character of the show. It's inspirational, fun, it's historic,
it's I'm patriotic. Annie Pixie's great venues. You know that
you feel something, and all of them I felt, you
know something, There's so much history.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Yeah, yeah, very cool places. Yeah, that's that's why. I mean,
it's definitely some people should see.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And you see the dressing rooms and it's pretty cool.
You see like you know who was there, Ye Springsteen,
the one down South that Elvis played at, Like you know,
they all start running into You've almost done twenty You've
done twenty seven shows.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
I think I've been participating in maybe close to twenty.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, definitely, they're there.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Amazing, absolutely cool. Well, I'm glad that was that. I was.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
I was dying to hear about it. Yeah, because they
looked really good.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
To keep you away, you have to be doing something important.
I think you did the I think you did the
ride with Chubby Hands.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And uh wait, Chubby Hans is a real foundation. Yeah,
what's about take it easy?
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Find they're no longer chubby there?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What are they not a stealth?
Speaker 7 (08:04):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
What is the theme around Chubby Hands.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
It's a foundation that raising money for people who lose
a child can't afford a funeral.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
So the ride, it was great ride. It was one
hundred and fifty guys. We rode up through the mountains Pennsylvania.
It was beautiful. You know, I get spiritual. I dig
riding for that environment as well as the cause. So
we had half went to life act. They buy him,
they donate him because oh we choked to death. His
grandson and Mountain Man's grandson. They financed the funeral.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
So this is the second time you've seen Mountain Man.
Last time we had we had Mountain them on.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Let me definitely have Mountain Man chubby hands.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Holy cow, what a breakthrough. That's like the guy that
told us.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, good tip for for we just got before coming on.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
But today I went to Dingle Parla lead into this
a little bit. I went to some network thing and
mister Wonderful was talking, and it was interesting. It was
on the watch him and Insight. But you know what,
it was kind of funny because I could tell he
was kind of dodging the whole knock off. But he
did do something from our AI thing which we have
(09:18):
that mic on again. That was a great show. I
don't know if you were here, but he had him
and he played the clips and he said, one day
I couldn't.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Tell one of Kevin me Kevin O'Leary, so he said,
Oliary or Leary.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Yeah, hey, Olarry, you got che don't you know the
old people?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That means is it like any any Mick and oh
his son up?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Can I be ole?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
In Jewish? It's actually a Ben like Ben Ben, David.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Ben Hurry, Ben Ben Her then Her then.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Her and Daniels. He was actually a Jewish Ben he's
miss Leen over. They have kids.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
Anyway, let's prep the show. So we're blessed to have
Alisha Malone. They saved their son Carter. We've been blessed
to know them and get to really and get to
know them. It was one of your early saves. But
they face challenges.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
They all count they all.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
But I think you know a lot of them because
of the families we've really come to love and you
know their challenges they faces. It kind of leads into
the accidental rudeness, but there's a bigger picture and it
has to do with the understanding of what it takes,
what true courage is, which you're going to intro when
(10:44):
we get into this question after the break. But there's
a lot to it. And you know, we tried to
have Stacy come on. She has a foundation to try
and help people that emotionally have to deal with the
challenges like that Brown could not. Who takes care of Beau?
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Who is I think he's down syndrome and so so
he's the courage and the strength to do that.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
I think it's underrated. And we're talking in the arena.
That's what we talk about. We talk about real people
facing real battles with courage and dignanty and incredible strength.
So we're going to mix all that in today And
if Felicia doesn't kill me for talking about stuff, but
(11:34):
I feel she's she's laughing.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Now that's a good sign.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Well she may have to sit on the other side
of pat now.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
She's glaring it up next to me.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
But you know, that's that's my show and I look
forward to it. You know, we we both Bow and
uh Carter were saved by Life back, so it's definitely
a connection. But like Back opened my eyes to that,
you know a lot of things that it opened up,
like the police officers that have to deal with the
(12:04):
trauma of a child dying, you know, and both Leisha
and Stacy opened my eyes to something that is so
courageous and so challenging and so unsupported. And I think
in the arena it's about bringing things like that to light.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, we talk about the we talk about your books.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Sorry can't is a lie, And we encourage people to
go to life act dot net.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Can you go to dot com?
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Now? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yeah, either want go to life act dot com. So
used to saying dot net.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
And you could watch in the arena.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Now, yes, there's a little dot Org makes it easy.
But while you're there, why not get a life a
device if you don't have it at this point, Protect
your family, protect those you love. Use code M I
T A that stands for men in the arena. But
we're calling this show just for the fees in the arena,
just because it's so easy.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Because tonight there's a woman in the arena.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Well I'm we ad jen On she was in there
and it is appropriate and really, come on, this is
getting a little woke.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Man the RANDOMNT what is a woman? So?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
I don't no one.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I want men.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
We still haven't figured that out.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Quick update on your journey.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, I'm not transforming. Oh oh my diet.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Yes, the diet, the booze. I'm realizing as we talked
about it a lot over the weekend. We talked about
the program you're on and you can give us an update.
But I'm joining you in solidarity because I need to
do the work as well.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yes, my counselor is also a woman. Heather, What how
much you lose? I'm down twenty eight pounds six weeks.
What's the goal eighty pounds. No, yeah, so I gotta
lose like fifty more pounds.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
I like you like this too.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I like me.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
My friend he was ed, but he could play soccer.
You like you. He moved and he was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
So like when they told me that, my doctor said,
you know, they wanted to get down to one ninety,
and I thought, you know what they said, what do
you want to get down? I got to twenty to
twenty five. She's like, no, the charte says one ninety.
She's never seen me. I'm like, okay, I am. You
know our doctor who we all know, doctor Elphin Bying,
who we also went to school with. You'll never be
lasted two twenty. Look at your ankles, but I guess
(14:16):
they're gonna get me done to one ninety.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
We'll see an ankle specialist.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
What's this?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You got big bones?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
But you feel that you feel better?
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I do feel really good. Cool, that's sleeping better. I
just see you this this person. It's not a big secret.
I mean, it's a good diet, but it's cut out
the crap. Cut out sugar, that's the devil. Cut out
a lot of carbs, and you can get carbs from
other stuff, so you feel good.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Yeah, a lot of difference, a lot of difference in
the vernacular. There's words that they use where they choose
very positive stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
You're not losing weight, you're dropping weight because losing is
a bad connotation. You don't cheat on your diet. You
sidestep for a couple of days because cheating is a
bad connotation. It's like they just want you to feel good,
and like they always asking me to make a tape
and inspire other people.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Do you crack them up and say funny shit?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Sometimes I don't think she gets it though. You know,
she's sort of a hippy, but she's very nice, very nice.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Cool.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Well, we continue to look forward to your developmental.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Products and as you disappear.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Yeah, you're lighter and lighter, and we're going to be
back with more of the man in the arena after
this break.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Hi, I'm Mark the league.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
See you bet.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
They have Life Back, simple choking rescue advice and save
the four thousands of people. Thirteen years ago when I
came up with Life Back, the design was to be
safe and simple, simple push and pull event systems and
you push it down the arrow, go out the side,
to the bull out the box and you pull it up.
With any success, there's going to be copies normally. That's
(16:01):
that's the.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Way that I like.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Back at the registered manufacturer in New York a lot
of these products, and this is one of the most
popular ones.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
It's made in China.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
But the real problem it's about ten to fifteen dollars cheaper.
If you put your finger open this, you won't be
able to put it down. Now, I understand money's money,
Like this is someone's live at state. So if you
bought this, and make sure impact that you don't put
your claim. If you put it like this or like this,
it won't work and your loved one's gonna die. I understand,
(16:33):
and buy a cheaper product, but you have to also
remember to buy a cheaper product to get a cheaper product,
and someone's live in the state, So if you think
of buying it, make sure you understand you cannot believe this.
Well too, someone you love owns this, make sure that
they music, they had the wherewithal and panic situation not
to cover this bent, but they've found that kind of
(16:58):
strictly a PSA. I obviously also buy a life back.
I know, I know, I made last forever. But if
you do go with this, please be careful and love
my life.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Hey, we're back in the arena. My name is Rick Thatcher.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
I'm along with Arthur Lee, Patrick O'Rourke and our special guest,
Alicia Mon Alicia, welcome, welcome back.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
You've been here. Yeah, you've been here.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
Yes, yes, you don't remember.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
That was.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Back when I made the big mistake of reading a
text saying that you were, you know, coming back to
Amityville or can't wait to go to aarsa are you from? No,
I just want to see the house and I.
Speaker 10 (17:44):
Still we drove by today the sign. I was like,
I still want to see the house.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
We're going to get that.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
Don listen. I want the tour of the house. So
somebody calls somebody like I want to have.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
They did change them. They changed the windows, so it's
a little harder. I heard that ocean.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I know, we go buy yeah, we go buy it old.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And yell oscar Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
But Alicia, refresh uh the collective memory of in the arena,
of how you came to know.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
Arthurly, we'll start with how I found the life back.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Yeah, that's that's part of the best place to stay.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Yeah, I was pregnant with Carter over there, Yo, Carter, Carter,
and I was doing my baby registry and I set
everything up and then one of the recommended things was
that showed me that, and I was like, my fuck,
that's interesting. I'll put it on my baby registry.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Hadn't hadn't heard of it, never heard of it.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
Before now, And I just kind of thought, somebody's gonna
see that, and they're not going to buy me a
sink plunchers.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's a person plunger.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
People, it's a people plunger.
Speaker 10 (18:52):
Get bibs because bibbs in a sink puncher. And so
I ended up buying it for myself and put it
in the drawer just in the kitchen, just like hope
I never have to use this, and kind of went on.
And then we had Carter, and then when he was
two years old, toddling around the house, I guess we
(19:13):
were cooking our Matt was in the kitchen and he
found an ice cube on the floor and nobody knew
that he did it. And I turned around because I
heard him. He was like kind of muffled, and I
was just like, that's weird. I'm like, why is he
sounding like that? And I see him He's going like
this and grabbing his face and grabbing his neck and everything,
and I was like, oh my god. I was like, Matthew,
he's choking. You have to grab him right now. Grab him.
So he flipped him over.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Sorry, back back clothes. We try it.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Yep, back blows he was doing. And he's doing that.
I go right to the drawer, pull out the life back,
pull out the little pediatric mask and put it on there.
I was like, get him on the floor. He put
him down, and then I look at his poor little face.
He was turning blue and purple and it was just horrible,
Like my baby's face was just like this horrible little
grimacet And I tell him watching it, telling you the
(19:55):
story right now, I'm watching it in my head.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
I hate to make you go through.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Do you have a medical or like a police background?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Matt does?
Speaker 10 (20:03):
Matt does? I have him met a little bit of
a medical.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
But you kept you cool, like okay, yeah, And.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
Everybody's like, how do you do that? How did you
keep calm? And I was just like I was just like,
boom boom, boom, bom bom. This is what I gotta do.
Get put the kit on the floor. I'm doing this
and I put it down, put it on his face.
I pulled back and his head like because we were
on the kitchen floor, so his head moved just a
little bit, and I thought it didn't work. So I
look and I was ready to do it again, and
he pushes. He starts. You see it moving something in
(20:28):
his mouth, and I was like, oh, and I was like,
maybe he's got it. And he pushes it out and
sure enough he had the ice cube. Started crying and that.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
Was amazing that. What's say?
Speaker 10 (20:36):
Was it one forty you guys always asked me, and
I never remember. I think it's like one forty eight.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
I think, yeah, we're coming up on five thousand.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
But you know what I didn't That was an interesting
one because it was an ice cube, and in my
head I had a bunch of things I was curious about. Right,
they say an ice crea could melt, Promise it won't
melt l six minutes later, Right.
Speaker 10 (20:58):
I had. So I've had so many people come up
to me and say, well, it's an ice cube. I'm like,
all right, honey, you just sit there and you keep
choking and Mom, he's gonna wait for that. Are you
done yet? Is it over?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
People? Great?
Speaker 8 (21:10):
Just recently that I saw a like a medical post
warning parents about the danger of ice cubes.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Really, it was kind of cool because they've got you
right away.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
I thought of your family and I said, yeah, no ship,
no kidding, almost first twice in the same show.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
And I'm not even supposed to do that.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
And we're looking for an approximate from our from from
Donnie Eisley on how many ice cubes have been involved and.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
She's it's okay, she's busy.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
You can't know about everything.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
But over three hundred different things, right, over three hundred
different all of them, not all of them.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Food have been have been removed from airways with the Life.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Act, I actually cops and we say the perfect murder
weapon is ice. Yeah, you're bludging someone because it's just melts.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
And well remember there was an ice bullet that's supposedly
that was a big thing. Okay, we're off, sorry, check
coming back, got a brand. But you know you can
see the emotion when you tell that.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, I felt so.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
We always appreciate that and it's difficulty and its ability
to save others, and you've been great the videos, and
you were at our parties and you know, we got
car up and with me and him and Deborah Norville.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
That's one of my favorite.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
I love that picture so great, you little stinker, you
were on with me and Deborah. That was great. Don't
eat that When he got through that.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Problem, I'm going to go out on a limons say,
next to the commercial that well, certainly Ray is the
top five with Maya, but next to the one with
you and Jackie one of my favorite commercials the loans.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Yeah, yeah, really great.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Well, they're very hardball, they're sincere, they're in the arena.
I mean, that's what it's about. And good segue to
a question you have for me, mister.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Yeah, what was this? You sent me a picture? You
sent me a picture of a ticket from like twenty
twelve Kill a Mockingbird?
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Right, Yeah, Why would I do that?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Why in the world would you send me a picture
today of all days?
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Yes, because that's the intro to the the other part
of this discussion. And when I started lying back, I
knew it was going to be a ridiculously impossible battle, right,
So just for the heck of it, I googled true courage?
Speaker 7 (23:23):
What is true courage? Right back?
Speaker 8 (23:26):
And that was the pre AI where who Knows where
it would go? And to Kill a Mockingbird came up
right now. That movie had always affected me, right, I
remember the book, I remember the movie. I remember the
fear of Scout thing. But advocate it was stuck with
me right because he took on he read yeah, budde
Radley when he was almost like the Boogieman, but he says,
(23:50):
when you take on a battle when you know you're licked,
but you give it all you got and sometimes you went.
But his point was, it's not courage and man with
a gun, it's going into something that's supposed to be
done that's right, knowing you're going to get clobbered, knowing
that you're going to fail.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
He knew he could.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
Not defend that man in the South in those circumstances,
but he's in. You go in and you do your
best and you give it all you have. And I said,
truo Courages, when you go in the Alamo, being the
mother of a child's child, you're clobbered, You're done. And
I knew I was getting clobbered in the beginning. It
(24:29):
was you know Jim Carrey and I'm a rip off
and I'm taking advantage and I'm scaring people Jim Carrey, Yeah,
from the movie where he takes a sink plunder.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
And he's going now.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
So two thousands was so funny. Twelve times the year
you invented facts. So you had already had the concept
and knew where you were headed.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Well, it was just a path to help me to say,
I didn't know what would come up on a Google
true courage, right, so now you go down the path
and I'd taken up and I mean people like Alicia
and Stacy new definition of true courage. Don't you think
it's tough?
Speaker 10 (25:08):
It's every day is tough, right, But you get up
like nothing happened the day before, It could have been
the worst day of the day before, and you get
up and you're like, let's go, let's have another fun day,
keep going.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Positive.
Speaker 10 (25:21):
That's all you can do.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
But that it's all you can do. But not everyone
has the courage to do it.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
But don't you think that you know, you're open to
talk about it depth of whatever you want, but does
seem to be a lot of support.
Speaker 10 (25:40):
It's that's the hardest part is that you're constantly you know,
you're most of the time on your own doing it,
and you know Matt's obviously like by my side doing it.
But it's hard. You don't have support. You go into
a store and people will stare at you with your
kids screaming.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Well, that's the accidental rudeness part when you know, I
came up with that term because I've seen it. You know,
where you're not purposely rude, right, Oh, they control your
child like you're trying to be some helpful elder person
and you're like, you didn't even know the battle and
shut that almost cursed again. That would have been three. Yeah,
(26:16):
but they didn't didn't.
Speaker 10 (26:17):
Well, then I can't tell that story.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
No, But I think there's two forms of necessary awareness
with parents and children with challenges. One is more resources.
Tell me some of your battles with the resource, be
it personal. I'd love to talk to someone or you
(26:41):
know the challenges of getting the right schooling or education
or help.
Speaker 10 (26:44):
Yeah, I mean where you were going through a battle
right now with carter schooling the public school. He did
try it when he was little and they could not
accommodate his needs and so fighting them from the beginning
has just been a nightmare. And then I kind of
gave up because I said, well, what am I fighting
you for If you can't even help him. You can't
(27:04):
give him what he needs. You've already proved that you
can't give him anything. So I was like, all right, well,
then I guess we're paying for everything out of pocket
and we're going to figure it out. I don't know
how we're going to do it, but let's just do it.
There's a way. And then one of his therapists had
brought up this private school it's called the Speech Academy,
and he attended the summer program there and within a
(27:26):
month's time, like his speech is exploded.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
I know, it's.
Speaker 10 (27:32):
Wild, and so like I can't wait for him to
go here, and and I can't wait to see what
next year, like, you know, a year from today, Like
what's this kid.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Going to be like?
Speaker 10 (27:41):
And No, well, that's the thing is I spoke. I
had to hire an attorney. I mean, they don't want
to just say, yeah, sure, your kid can't do it here,
and there's a place that he can do it here,
let's send up. Nope, you have to hire an attorney.
You have to have PPT meetings and hearing p Yeah,
it's just it's I know, I don't think it's like
(28:05):
a parent something. What is it?
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah, place something.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Apparently your audience charming in it's fantastic. Thank you for
your help.
Speaker 10 (28:14):
Studio audience they have they have exactly, they have so
many like different like things that you're just like, I
forget what all of them are because they want to
confuse you. They want to make you feel like you're
not smart because they know what this is, but you
don't because you're a new parent in the school system.
So I mean and know, I have a PPT meeting
next Thursday with the school system with their attorney, our attorney,
(28:37):
and we're going to battle.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
This house is public and this is public school. Yeah,
and you pay your taxes.
Speaker 10 (28:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, Unfortunately I have to Where where is the speech?
Speaker 10 (28:46):
It's in eastern Connecticut in Danbury, Connecticut. Forty five minutes,
so your.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Math, you're gonna just that it's a sacrifice right there,
exactly forty five minutes.
Speaker 10 (28:58):
Matt takes them in the morning, forty.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
Five on the motorcycle.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
That's why you're speaking.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Now. That could really ride the way to say you
are got the motorcycle? Is it.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
Planning? And they call us a team, we are not
a team.
Speaker 11 (29:20):
Well they're not.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Whatsoever against them, you.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Know me, but thinking and going through this someone with you,
because who love you and Stacy and her same challenge.
They're getting help and it's just battle. And we we
put so much resources to so many things. I feel
like it's almost backwards in this world. Like there's a
lot of people get a lot of help, and then
(29:47):
we have these people that really need.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
It and deserve it. These are kids through the right.
But we have to change that.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
We have to get that upper higher up in the
invisibility and and in the accessibility right. You know, there's
so many places that bring in gazillions.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Of dollars and then you have to fight for a child,
right that and same with her the same thing, well
well needs special treatments, needs education, needs therapy, and it's bad.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Something so simple. It's just diapers. I mean, you have
a child with special needs and you need diapers. We
have to pay for diapers.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Still, Yeah, but I think too.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
And but that's my point that we have so many
beautiful you know from the Red Cross, all these things
can't we come up with a better way to help
our children that really need some help. The second thing
on this is, and I was curious about this in
the accidental rudeness, right, Oh, you know you've had your encounters, right,
and you're so meek about it that it's very kind.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
But me meek would not be a word that I
would No, I yes, sarcasm, you did see that.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Have you had any beautiful moments?
Speaker 10 (30:58):
Yes? And in that same moment, if you've read that.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Whole thing, go through it a little bit.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
So it goes into just, you know, accentual rudeness is
you know, doing something unconsciously that is rude and then saying,
oh my god, that was rude and I'm sorry. And
it stems more from the cell phone right where you're
you're standing somewhere you're doing something. That's where I recognized it.
Right where you're on your phone and you don't realize
your blocking an aisle where you're you know, you're you're
(31:26):
holding up a line and it's deeper. But that's what
brought it to my attention, right, that we do things
that aren't necessarily on purpose, but they're rude and they're
mean and That's when I thought, to you with that story,
so go ahead, give me the story. And I think
it can't curse because I took up our three Alicia
Malone the Mike.
Speaker 10 (31:49):
Yeah, well, I was going just to buy a birthday
cake for my mom in the supermarket and just picked
Carter up from school and it was me, Carter, and Kelly.
We run into the supermarket and my fault that Carter
picked out a certain candle or something like that and
I was like, no, baby, I don't need that and
I put it back on the rack. Well, that set
them off and be mad. He wanted that candle and
(32:14):
it was my fault.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Delicious no carbs.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Like that.
Speaker 10 (32:26):
So he got upset at that point and was throwing things.
This is the first thing that he does when he
gets mad is he'll throw his glasses, he'll throw cars, whatever,
he's got shoes. So he's already doing that. So I'm like,
all right, now we have to hurry, like I got
the cake. Look at this cake, Like, let's go hurry up.
And I'm trying to rush through the store. So I'm like,
all right, let me see if I can grab like
steak or something really quick food for dinner. So I'm
(32:46):
rushing over the steak and as I'm doing that, he
hums his glasses again into the chicken. And I was like, cool, like,
let me go grab those really quick chicken raw chicken,
like grabbing eyes, like reaching for his asses on the shelf.
And right behind me, this guy goes, it's not the
kid's fault, and I'll turn around and he goes and
(33:09):
he goes, it's the parents and looks right at my face,
and I was like, I was like, oh so mad
right now, and I am not taking it on my kid,
but I'm going to take it out on you.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
So I was.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
I walked right up to him, and I was like,
I can't believe you. I was just like I'm trying
to like not say, not really said. I was like,
I said, he has a disability, but you are in yeah,
one of the words I said something whole a hole.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
You're an a hole, And I just was like, yeah,
to ask himself.
Speaker 10 (33:45):
No, he kind of well, he cowered kind of a
little bit, like he just like looked down and like
didn't want to look at me anymore, like kind of
like staring at the chicken and like, and I was
just like just at him, and then from behind me,
my first grade teacher comes up to me and I
haven't seen her in years, and she's like a at
(34:06):
least and I'll turn around like I was like, oh
my god. I was like hi, and she goes, how
are you.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Pull me?
Speaker 10 (34:14):
Yes, she's yeah, And I felt like I was already
like okay, I'm embarrassed because I haven't seen her in
forever and she sees me in this situation. So she
did the thing that somebody should do. Anybody can do
it funk up and just say how are you kids doing?
And looking at the kids and like what are you doing?
Are you buying a cake? And the kids are like yeah,
And like just change that train of thought for a child,
(34:36):
like don't stare at people. Don't think like what a
terrible parent you are, because you know how stressed out
that parent is. You think that they want their kid
to be screaming through the supermarket as you're rushing to
grab the food. Really it quick. You don't want to
deal with that. That's stressful for you. You don't want
to go to the store to begin with.
Speaker 8 (34:54):
Yeah, I think, but see that's bringing this out. Not
only is it challenging in your whole light, the moment
you wake up to the moment you go to bed.
Now you're gonna go out and have this situation where
it's such a callous, such a cowardice, such a sad thing.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
You know, like, we're gonna we're gonna hear more about this.
We have to quick break. We'll be right back with more.
Speaker 7 (35:17):
I'm impressed.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
As Alicia Malone and the Man in the Arena.
Speaker 11 (35:33):
I was in the living room when I heard my
son Carter, who was two at the time. I looked
over and I saw him grabbing for his face. It
was I grab a life back. I put the mask
on his face and place push Paul. The life back
dislodged the ice cube from his airway. When he started crying,
the most amazing sound I've ever heard in my entire life.
Speaker 10 (35:56):
Please protect your family, get the life back.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
That was great her, I said, we are back at
uh in the arena. We're back in the arena for
got six.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
My name is Rick Thatcher, along with Arthur Lee pad
of Rourke and Alicia Malone, who's been talking to us.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
About the situation that popped up. Accidental rudeness.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
I don't think anything was accidental about it, that was
just he may have regretted it in a big way.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yes, if he regretted it, if accidentally he didn't take
a stand on it and say hey, you know, but
I would, I get it, you know, I don't. Yeah,
I'm not on his side, but I'm sure he felt
terrible when he found out.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Yes, but that's good and that's important, and that's why
we have to talk about it. Because when you're there
and you say, you know the kids nowadays, and they well,
maybe he's facing battles.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
You don't know.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
And I think I remember when Baul was at the
at the Hall Saves, right. I don't d you were
there yet, but I was making the big speech and
Bob decides he's going to say yeah, like freaking.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Hey, hey, what the yeah?
Speaker 8 (37:07):
But he just walked out of the audience and came up,
and I'm like, I guess it's time for Bo to
be here. But if we all had a little more compassion,
you know, and you're the bizarre first grade teacher thing,
that's Godwin, that's like a weird dream.
Speaker 10 (37:22):
I thought immediately, I was like, that's our god wink.
Immediately immediately I thought it.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
But it is, and to me, it reminds me like
when I tell someone I was shooting pull with Ben
Carson and I got text from Joe piscoll. I'm like,
this sounds like one of those goofy dreams that yeah,
like you know, and you wake up and you go,
you wouldn't believe what I dream like, You're like, I
had this stream. I was in the supermarket, the guy
thinking my first grade teacher.
Speaker 7 (37:47):
So it just to me those godwings sometimes are like
these crazy dreams, and you know, the first grade teacher thing.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
My gosh, even the partners a teacher you loved, have
my teacher, I wuldn't even wreck no.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
When I have one teacher.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Had you been in touch? First grade teacher?
Speaker 11 (38:08):
Right?
Speaker 10 (38:09):
It was my first and I was We're friends on
Facebook and everything, so I like text her. I was like,
I'm so sorry that you had to see that whole thing.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
What did your apologize?
Speaker 10 (38:16):
Yeah? I apologize, Yeah? Did she kind of say I
am She said yeah, she said I completely understand. It's okay.
It was great to see you. She was just so wonderful.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
Now, Matt mentioned something about another children's museum. Did you
kill someone here or Is this a good one?
Speaker 5 (38:31):
That bloodshed?
Speaker 10 (38:31):
Now you want to I mean you want to kill
you do? I wish that it was a good thing.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
You want to hum a rock at him, rock at
somebody's head.
Speaker 7 (38:41):
The question on that one was there a good side
or it was just someone.
Speaker 10 (38:46):
Somebody being a jerk. And it was another mother and
it was literally like it's a little kid, Karen, like Karen,
like you know when kid has a toy. And then
Carter grabbed a toy from his hand. I immediately was
saying like, no, you got to get back, and she's
like you and she's snatching the toy out of his hand.
I was like, no, you don't do that.
Speaker 7 (39:05):
Well, I think that we need to beware of special
needs parents.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
We have become you you turn into a bit you know.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
I think it's gotten worse from the pandemic. I think
that we have become so much more in each other's face.
You know, you can't parky, you can't wait in it.
I got yelled at for five minutes over a sunset
one time on my motorcycle and it's greaming you as
leading the parking lot sunset going in like because it's
a rule, right and I think people become empowered to want.
Speaker 7 (39:33):
To tell you what to do. Citizens arrest citizens a
ray as citizens a rays. Sorry, watch a lot of
Andy Griffins with my fall.
Speaker 8 (39:42):
But I think it's worse, and I think we need
to reverse that, and we need to have more compassion
and we have more understanding. And I think a lot
of it as they would saying I don't know why
this is happening. I'll just shut up, maybe I'll help, Right,
I use it all the time with.
Speaker 7 (40:00):
The road rage thing.
Speaker 8 (40:01):
Someone comes flying by and go, man, I hope he's
all right, you know, I hope he's not racing his
kid at the hospital, right.
Speaker 7 (40:07):
And I immediately go there, right, you know, the two
battles that you guys have to deal with.
Speaker 8 (40:14):
It's enough like when we when someone like bo gets
a life, we've been saved like five times.
Speaker 7 (40:20):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 8 (40:21):
And when I have someone who's in a wheelchair or
parent that has a child that's a challenged and I
can't give him a life back, I'm like, I feel good.
It took one brick off. They still have four thousand
on them, right, but one brick. What's a brickway You've
lost over a brick?
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Or I believe it about fifteen pounds.
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Have you lost one of them? I've lost two bricks. See,
so you feel better, you can take go ahead.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
No, I actually do just like once in a while
when I've been on a bunch of times. But like
you a forty five pound plate, you know, when you're working, Yeah,
and you know, I'm like, oh my god, I lost person. Right,
That's how fad I get. I love twenties.
Speaker 7 (41:01):
I wasn't going in that route, but it was you
relate to the Oh I can hump twenties down.
Speaker 9 (41:08):
I'm bringing that back.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
That's a great expression I already did. Yes, I think
a commercial, but I think if we I'm hocking it.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
I think you can only hack ALOGI I think that's
the only thing you can.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Hockey is stealing.
Speaker 8 (41:25):
Also, hockey is like getting money for like your friend
or something in hock Rady a porn shop. How do
we go on these paths? That's what I want to
went from hunt the hawk. We're saving kids.
Speaker 5 (41:40):
Let's bring it back in the arena.
Speaker 7 (41:41):
You know.
Speaker 6 (41:42):
The one thing that I thought of when when someone
is dealing with Alicia and in the situation like that,
it's really important. Jack Handy the philosopher said it best.
If you're gonna before you criticize someone, you're gonna walk
a mile in their shoes, absolutely, because if they get
really mad, like you might get, you're a mile away
and you have their shoes.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
A good point o people like me.
Speaker 7 (42:08):
But you know, I think you know we're coming to
the end.
Speaker 8 (42:10):
But the two things that we need to continue to
talk about and address right is the accidental rudeness and
the lack of Part of Stacy's mission is the brotherhood
a place to share about the challenges that the solo
to you. He and I were talking about this earlier
about my accident. I didn't have anyone that was in
(42:32):
those circumstances, you know, and it's a very lonely place,
and I think that it's hard for you know, you
to have a conversation about whiz and glasses and with
a mom that's like would just tell him not to
you know, put him in the corner and then he
would eat the corner and burn the house down.
Speaker 7 (42:51):
So pick some fine to thank you.
Speaker 8 (42:56):
But I think we need to continue that and we
need to open it up and we definitely have to
address it on a bigger scale.
Speaker 7 (43:04):
For the resource part. That really bothers me.
Speaker 8 (43:07):
And because I go to all these fundraisers and I
do all this and you know there's a lot of help.
Speaker 6 (43:14):
Well you saw it with the price of the Life
Act being the first concern when you met with the
school in Wisconsin. Yeah, right, I mean that's what that's
what the problem is, right, money.
Speaker 7 (43:25):
Yeah. But once again though it shouldn't be so this
is it should be an easier path. This is not
a brainer. You know what we you know, we we
can deal with other reductions in places, and I think
we can develop a foundation that makes it easier for
parents to get the special services. I even the special
(43:47):
is not the right word. It's the equal services. It's
a necessary service. But you know, you didn't say, oh boy,
this is great, my kid gets to go here, right,
you say I need to go there.
Speaker 5 (43:58):
Similarly, it's in the ADA, right, it's part of the idea, but.
Speaker 7 (44:01):
It's it's just not it's not treated properly, And no
doubt bothers me. And we'll we'll keep addressing it.
Speaker 8 (44:07):
But I think it's important we start that dialogue right
and we're start getting out there that you know, this
is an avenue where kindness, courage, and compassion come into play,
and we need to highlight those things and we need
see more of it. We need to get out of
your mask, not covering your nose when the kid's having
a freak out in the supermarket.
Speaker 7 (44:28):
You know, shut holy cow, that has been four.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Square jar we getting rich tonight.
Speaker 7 (44:37):
Well one got out, but the three I held back.
Speaker 5 (44:41):
But so list have you met Ray Preeby? Yes, that
was not the last, the three thousand. Yeah, it's amazing.
He joins us every week.
Speaker 6 (44:51):
It's mister three k and uh he saved his daughter,
of course, and he's coming up in the next segment.
But we appreciate you so much, you guys, for the
whole families here.
Speaker 7 (44:59):
You know, we love you.
Speaker 8 (45:01):
And Stacey, she was gonna come on, I think about it.
Maybe talk with her what she's doing. And let's address
this again and and let's keep talking about it and
and let's get some wins.
Speaker 10 (45:11):
That would be great, all right, Uncle.
Speaker 12 (45:13):
Alicia meek malone, let's yes, what is the new term
for today's show? Humming glasses that the chicken?
Speaker 7 (45:24):
Yes, yes, glasses the chicken.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
He hummed, My goodness, speaking of true courage, l I
U is playing Florida this weekend a football and they're
forty six and a half point underdog.
Speaker 7 (45:39):
Real thing we should watch.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
I can get killed. You think, yes, you got money
And my mother bet the biggest underdog in the car
because she didn't like bullies.
Speaker 7 (45:50):
Oh that's adorable. You always want that's Alicia Lesson.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
But I was just thinking about that true coverage statement.
Speaker 7 (45:56):
That's going into that. I would want to go into
that game.
Speaker 6 (46:01):
We're going to be back with more like Man in
the Arena. After this break with Ray preby mister three
K coming up next, she started.
Speaker 7 (46:22):
To choke on a piece of candy.
Speaker 9 (46:23):
She wasn't breathing.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Then Ray reached for the life back and it saved her.
She could have easily died that day. A life back
saved her life.
Speaker 9 (46:32):
What I would say is, don't need a life back
and not have it. Have a life back and hopefully
never need it.
Speaker 8 (46:39):
Recently, the American Red Cross has added anti joking devices
as an option when standard protocol.
Speaker 7 (46:45):

days ago. So for one year, mark, I gave my Uh,
I gave my prediction last week, and since since October twentieth,
twenty twenty four, we are one thousand, five hundred and
eighty eight saves in three hundred and twelve days. Wow,
(49:28):
pretty amazing, absolutely amazing. So, uh, Bobby, do we have

You're getting closer, Pat, you're getting closer.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
Hey, I like being I like the under getting directed

Speaker 9 (49:59):
Right, that's right, buddy.
Speaker 7 (50:01):
How many lives we got saved today?
Speaker 9 (50:03):
Six saves today?
Speaker 7 (50:05):
And what if I told you Donna's here? How many
would you guess? We saved because I have a better number.
We saved eight.
Speaker 9 (50:14):
Eight saves.
Speaker 1 (50:17):
Eight.
Speaker 9 (50:18):
Well, Arthur, okay, Arthur, how many saves this week?
Speaker 8 (50:22):
Are you?
Speaker 7 (50:22):
And you got.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Twenty six? Twenty four?
Speaker 9 (50:27):
We have forty saves this week? Four zero.
Speaker 2 (50:31):
Wow, that's impressive.
Speaker 3 (50:34):
That is.
Speaker 9 (50:35):
If we keep having weeks like that, I'm gonna be
a little a little short on my number. But you
know what, that's the best news ever. Yeah, baby, So
let's get into the highlight of the week because it
is the weod one and it's from my hometown here
in Florida. On August twenty third, a nineteen month old
(50:57):
girl from Florida choked on a chip. Total obstruction protocol
was performed but failed. My daughter was walking around and
had gotten hold of a chip her older brother had dropped.
She unfortunately cripped and went to cry from the fall
with the chip in her mouth. It caused her to
(51:18):
aspirate the ship and cause complete airway blockage. By the
time my husband brought her to me, she was completely
blue and making absolutely no sound. I yelled for him
to bring me the life back into call nine to
one one. With one suction, I was able to get
her throwing up and crying thank you from the bottom
(51:41):
of my heart. This is worth every single penny. She
was followed up to see the pediatrician and checked out perfect.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (51:50):
Man, you know Ray, when you read those I love
that part of the show. I really do.
Speaker 8 (51:54):
And I love the gratitude because you could feel you
could feel that moment. You know it like you talk
about it or he talks about it. You always get misty.
I mean you should and uh, that's my I don't know,
that's my favorite.
Speaker 7 (52:10):
I love when you read it.
Speaker 9 (52:11):
It's an event that a parent never forgets. You know,
when you're watching your child in a life and death
situation and you're responsible for taking care of them and
saving them, you know that that never goes away. Never.
Speaker 5 (52:26):
Ray does Maya remember, she says, she.
Speaker 9 (52:30):
Remembers, but obviously we have life Back everywhere. We talk
to everybody about it. She's around everybody when we talk
about it, so I don't know if she necessarily remembers it,
but she certainly knows that we talk about it often.
She knows the device, she knows where we keep the
life back, she knows what it does, how it works,
so she's very conscious of the entire situation.
Speaker 5 (52:54):
And she saw Dad hanging her picture up in the
Hall of Saves, which.
Speaker 9 (52:58):
She did, number three thousand of them.
Speaker 7 (53:00):
Yeah, and then she did repeat Rose, that's what was
a handroll man.
Speaker 9 (53:05):
And she's only done about thirty of those since we
left today.
Speaker 8 (53:09):
But I've had the plageagon out with him and she
is just you know what, if you want to save
energy and youthful mind would be the one.
Speaker 9 (53:19):
Absolutely Yeah. Never a dull moment with that one. Let
me tell you you know what, Just you know, we've
got a great saying here for you, guys. Yeah, let's
hear that way, Ray, life back. Better to have it
and not need it than need it and not have it.
The life you save could be your own, could be
a child, could be a parent, could be anybody, could
(53:40):
be a stranger. So get a life back. Love you guys,
and God blass could be.
Speaker 6 (53:44):
You get many About seventy people have saved themselves correct,
one hundred and twenty nine.
Speaker 9 (53:52):
I think about it. Oh, I need I need to
pick up with that.
Speaker 2 (53:56):
I have to do with myself.
Speaker 6 (53:59):
Well, Ray, we thank you so much. We'll see you
next week in the arena. God Blast three.
Speaker 7 (54:06):
You were.
Speaker 4 (54:10):
It's no joke when you choke to get life back,
and without breath, they'll be death toget life back, and
gad life back and.
Speaker 3 (54:23):
Got life lie back, Life life back, and.
Speaker 6 (54:29):
We still have a little bit of time. That's our
closing song, so probably sure to be honest, Carter, you
know what I'm gonna say this, and amidst the interruptions,
this is the greatest interruptions. But thank you for joining
(54:50):
us today on in the arena. Especially thank you to
Alicia Malone for sharing her wisdom and reflections on accidental
rudeness at Life Fact. We believe that every life matters
and every act of kindness can make a difference. Just
as Arthur Lee's book reminds us that sorry cantons lie,
we're reminded that with courage, compassion, and the right tools,
we can all step into the arena and change lives.
(55:12):
Until next time, Stay inspired, stay kind, and stay in
the fight. Thanks so much, thank.
Speaker 2 (55:20):
You, Alicia Meek Malone, get life back, and.
Speaker 5 (55:23):
This round of applause, and now Mike Crow can take
us out quarter.

Speaker 6 (00:27):
So great to hear the golden tones of Mike Row
singing the Life Fact Song. So, dear friends of Life Fact,
welcome back to in the arena. We make it easy
for male female both. Today we're joined by our special guest,
Alicia Malone for a heartfelt conversation around a chapter from
Arthur Lee's book, The inspiring book Sorry Can't Just a Lie. Together,
(00:48):
we'll explore accidental rudeness and the lessons it holds about grace, understanding,
and how we treat one another in everyday life.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I wish I could burp right now. Wouldn't it be great?
Just burped? You guys can do that, just burp whatever
they want.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
Well, what about fort like that, like.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Don't bring it there, your company's watching, Come on, get
it over. The kids fought. It's coming out of the attic,
not the basement.
Speaker 7 (01:14):
But will you will you a it's funny, I'll fart
and let people know.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Or there's nothing more hilarious than that.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
There is if you got the guts to pull it off.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I'm golfing with what. I'm golfing up by myself with
three other guys I don't know, strangers, and two of
them are like in their seventies. This is like ten
years ago. You know, you get hooked up with guys
when you go to God right, sure, and the seventy
year olds on the tee and he he just farts.
All three of mus look at each other and almost
fall that left, like we're all grown men.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
But when it comes to that, I'm a blesser, you
know something certainly the sneeze. But if someone were too uh,
you'd say, I would say God bless you. Yeah, well yeah,
why not.
Speaker 8 (01:51):
There's a certain courage and it's comedy, right you think
about it. You gotta have guts to take the shot
at the joke or the fart. But it can be
rude to like you can write. You're in a car
with your buddies.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
It is by the way, and wondering who you're listening to.
My name is Rick Thatcher, one of the hosts of
the Man in the Arena, and you're listening to Patrick O'Rourke,
world renowned comedian and Arthur Lee CEO, inventor of the
life act device.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Really world renowned.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Oh yes, well the quick thing man.
Speaker 8 (02:20):
We had two things that we discussed with you chat
about a little bit at the beginning. And I watched
your show You Guys Do Box, and I was having
watched it many times and been as the honor of
throwing you out as Sam Man. I love his shows.
I think they're great. They teach history, they're funny, it's inspiring.
It's really great and anyone that hasn't seen Brian's show
(02:42):
really should go.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
You'll have an opportunity coming up in Virginia Beach.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
But the month you add this, uh it's Richmond.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Did I say Virginia Beach.
Speaker 6 (02:51):
Yeah, if you go to the Richmond, Virginia seven guys,
we're likely to go to the wrong airport at times.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
There's a whole the whole our story.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
We did go to the wrong airport last weekend.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Yeah, there you go. Well, he's going on.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
One hundred dollars, can change your ticket.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
We adapted Wait, but this show was different because you
had some really high profile actors.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Sure, Colonel Allen West filled in for Frederick Douglas and
Booker T. Washington in the skits, and will Kine made
a triumphant return to this.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
He looks like he did good.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
He did, he loved it. He was he he can't fail.
He walked out. They started cheering it. You didn't.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Well, you know what I was thinking.
Speaker 8 (03:28):
I think this could begin the the kind of the
guests on love Boat, the guests on happy Days, the guests.
Speaker 7 (03:35):
On you know available, There you go, that's exactly alive.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
She was always on lovel But that's my point.
Speaker 8 (03:49):
Wouldn't it be cool if that, Like I was always
so excited and honored to throw you out, like because
you were part of it.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
It was cool as heck.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
And then when I saw that you had these high
rangeing people and the interactions like for you guys, that
I'd be a little nerve wracking.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
No, it's also very official. How we write the script
to in a hotel lobby, you're gonna.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
Say yeah, yeah, and it's supposed to be in prov
But I think for me, more nerves were when we
did it with Pete heg Seth, Rachel Campbell Stuffy and
the lovely Carly Shimkis not that?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Not that? Rachel Campbell Stuffy isn't lovely yourself, but both
of them.
Speaker 7 (04:27):
But were they in the skit?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
They were in the skits that was back in That
was two or three years ago. Yeah, during COVID, Wow,
how was that nerve wracking? A lot of fun?
Speaker 7 (04:35):
It was se agency you say, nerve wragging him saying.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So he pulled up his sleeve to show the we
the people tattoo on his arm. And he was George
Washington too, so that's cool. He's also very tall, I
mean right, so a bunch of hoops at the Princeton.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Now I understand, I understand.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
In Richmond, Lawrence is going to be Lawrence Jones, who
was also like six five.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
Very.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Except Brian beat him in the planks, didn't.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
He He did?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Yeah, see Celtic Pride.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Brian's in better shape than you think. He's a lot
of guns going, he's doing a lot of curls for girls.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Yes, he's looking good.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
But you enjoyed. You enjoyed the show in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I loved it. Yeah. Sometimes when people in prov though, like,
there's a rule to improviously, you always have to give
the guys. It can't be no, Yeah, the answer has
to be yes, en yes, open and he was just, uh,
you know, Colonel West. I actually said at one point,
you know, it's tough to improv with the colonel.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I asked him, yes, oh, there were a lot of
laughs and I think, uh at off stage. I asked
him after the first scene where I know he was
going way off you know, Colonel West, did you have
you done any improv?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
He says, I was in the Marines. What do you think? Okay,
pretty good answer.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Did you did you try any new material? Anything?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Go a couple of new jokes that we did a
big thing about Dallas and uh well the football teams,
but that wasn't even a joke. It was just to
get the crowd on your side. And what else?
Speaker 6 (06:01):
I think the introduction of the visual I think the
introduction of the.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Visual com we now have pictures behind me off some
of my jokes that Rick is the producer in stage
hand on the side, I.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Got to hit the clicker at the right time.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
They've got to come to the show to see it.
Though it's unbelievable. Well, it's actually very believable.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
Iigh recommended this is the first one you've missed, Arthur
in a while.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
I mean, I love going then whenever I could. You know,
it's kind of.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Cool if it's nearest beach house hell show.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Yeah, but Dallas was like a real area. I love
the ven News.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Win Spear wind Spear Opera house. And they had a
shandily Is coming out of the roof, forty eight different
engines on it. Yeah, that was like six million dollars
just for the shandely Is coming out of the right.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
That was cool. A little clip of it.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It was really And the guy was showing us before
the show. He goes to Christmas, we make a Christmas tree.
But these shows we do this. For these shows, we
do that. We can change all the colors.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
But I think that's part of what is, you know,
the character of the show. It's inspirational, fun, it's historic,
it's I'm patriotic. Annie Pixie's great venues. You know that
you feel something, and all of them I felt, you
know something, There's so much history.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Yeah, yeah, very cool places. Yeah, that's that's why. I mean,
it's definitely some people should see.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And you see the dressing rooms and it's pretty cool.
You see like you know who was there, Ye Springsteen,
the one down South that Elvis played at, Like you know,
they all start running into You've almost done twenty You've
done twenty seven shows.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
I think I've been participating in maybe close to twenty.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, definitely, they're there.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Amazing, absolutely cool. Well, I'm glad that was that. I was.
Speaker 8 (07:38):
I was dying to hear about it. Yeah, because they
looked really good.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
To keep you away, you have to be doing something important.
I think you did the I think you did the
ride with Chubby Hands.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And uh wait, Chubby Hans is a real foundation. Yeah,
what's about take it easy?
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Find they're no longer chubby there?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
What are they not a stealth?
Speaker 7 (08:04):
There you go.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
What is the theme around Chubby Hands.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
It's a foundation that raising money for people who lose
a child can't afford a funeral.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
So the ride, it was great ride. It was one
hundred and fifty guys. We rode up through the mountains Pennsylvania.
It was beautiful. You know, I get spiritual. I dig
riding for that environment as well as the cause. So
we had half went to life act. They buy him,
they donate him because oh we choked to death. His
grandson and Mountain Man's grandson. They financed the funeral.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
So this is the second time you've seen Mountain Man.
Last time we had we had Mountain them on.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Let me definitely have Mountain Man chubby hands.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Holy cow, what a breakthrough. That's like the guy that
told us.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, good tip for for we just got before coming on.
Speaker 8 (08:57):
But today I went to Dingle Parla lead into this
a little bit. I went to some network thing and
mister Wonderful was talking, and it was interesting. It was
on the watch him and Insight. But you know what,
it was kind of funny because I could tell he
was kind of dodging the whole knock off. But he
did do something from our AI thing which we have
(09:18):
that mic on again. That was a great show. I
don't know if you were here, but he had him
and he played the clips and he said, one day
I couldn't.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Tell one of Kevin me Kevin O'Leary, so he said,
Oliary or Leary.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Yeah, hey, Olarry, you got che don't you know the
old people?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That means is it like any any Mick and oh
his son up?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Can I be ole?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
In Jewish? It's actually a Ben like Ben Ben, David.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Ben Hurry, Ben Ben Her then Her then.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Her and Daniels. He was actually a Jewish Ben he's
miss Leen over. They have kids.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
Anyway, let's prep the show. So we're blessed to have
Alisha Malone. They saved their son Carter. We've been blessed
to know them and get to really and get to
know them. It was one of your early saves. But
they face challenges.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
They all count they all.
Speaker 8 (10:23):
But I think you know a lot of them because
of the families we've really come to love and you
know their challenges they faces. It kind of leads into
the accidental rudeness, but there's a bigger picture and it
has to do with the understanding of what it takes,
what true courage is, which you're going to intro when
(10:44):
we get into this question after the break. But there's
a lot to it. And you know, we tried to
have Stacy come on. She has a foundation to try
and help people that emotionally have to deal with the
challenges like that Brown could not. Who takes care of Beau?
Speaker 7 (11:05):
Who is I think he's down syndrome and so so
he's the courage and the strength to do that.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
I think it's underrated. And we're talking in the arena.
That's what we talk about. We talk about real people
facing real battles with courage and dignanty and incredible strength.
So we're going to mix all that in today And
if Felicia doesn't kill me for talking about stuff, but
(11:34):
I feel she's she's laughing.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Now that's a good sign.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
Well she may have to sit on the other side
of pat now.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
She's glaring it up next to me.
Speaker 8 (11:44):
But you know, that's that's my show and I look
forward to it. You know, we we both Bow and
uh Carter were saved by Life back, so it's definitely
a connection. But like Back opened my eyes to that,
you know a lot of things that it opened up,
like the police officers that have to deal with the
(12:04):
trauma of a child dying, you know, and both Leisha
and Stacy opened my eyes to something that is so
courageous and so challenging and so unsupported. And I think
in the arena it's about bringing things like that to light.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, we talk about the we talk about your books.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Sorry can't is a lie, And we encourage people to
go to life act dot net.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Can you go to dot com?
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Now? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yeah, either want go to life act dot com. So
used to saying dot net.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
And you could watch in the arena.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
Now, yes, there's a little dot Org makes it easy.
But while you're there, why not get a life a
device if you don't have it at this point, Protect
your family, protect those you love. Use code M I
T A that stands for men in the arena. But
we're calling this show just for the fees in the arena,
just because it's so easy.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Because tonight there's a woman in the arena.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Well I'm we ad jen On she was in there
and it is appropriate and really, come on, this is
getting a little woke.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Man the RANDOMNT what is a woman? So?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
I don't no one.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I want men.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
We still haven't figured that out.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Quick update on your journey.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, I'm not transforming. Oh oh my diet.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
Yes, the diet, the booze. I'm realizing as we talked
about it a lot over the weekend. We talked about
the program you're on and you can give us an update.
But I'm joining you in solidarity because I need to
do the work as well.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yes, my counselor is also a woman. Heather, What how
much you lose? I'm down twenty eight pounds six weeks.
What's the goal eighty pounds. No, yeah, so I gotta
lose like fifty more pounds.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
I like you like this too.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
I like me.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
My friend he was ed, but he could play soccer.
You like you. He moved and he was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
So like when they told me that, my doctor said,
you know, they wanted to get down to one ninety,
and I thought, you know what they said, what do
you want to get down? I got to twenty to
twenty five. She's like, no, the charte says one ninety.
She's never seen me. I'm like, okay, I am. You
know our doctor who we all know, doctor Elphin Bying,
who we also went to school with. You'll never be
lasted two twenty. Look at your ankles, but I guess
(14:16):
they're gonna get me done to one ninety.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
We'll see an ankle specialist.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
What's this?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You got big bones?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
But you feel that you feel better?
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I do feel really good. Cool, that's sleeping better. I
just see you this this person. It's not a big secret.
I mean, it's a good diet, but it's cut out
the crap. Cut out sugar, that's the devil. Cut out
a lot of carbs, and you can get carbs from
other stuff, so you feel good.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
Yeah, a lot of difference, a lot of difference in
the vernacular. There's words that they use where they choose
very positive stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
You're not losing weight, you're dropping weight because losing is
a bad connotation. You don't cheat on your diet. You
sidestep for a couple of days because cheating is a
bad connotation. It's like they just want you to feel good,
and like they always asking me to make a tape
and inspire other people.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Do you crack them up and say funny shit?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Sometimes I don't think she gets it though. You know,
she's sort of a hippy, but she's very nice, very nice.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
Cool.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Well, we continue to look forward to your developmental.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Products and as you disappear.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Yeah, you're lighter and lighter, and we're going to be
back with more of the man in the arena after
this break.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Hi, I'm Mark the league.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
See you bet.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
They have Life Back, simple choking rescue advice and save
the four thousands of people. Thirteen years ago when I
came up with Life Back, the design was to be
safe and simple, simple push and pull event systems and
you push it down the arrow, go out the side,
to the bull out the box and you pull it up.
With any success, there's going to be copies normally. That's
(16:01):
that's the.
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Way that I like.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Back at the registered manufacturer in New York a lot
of these products, and this is one of the most
popular ones.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
It's made in China.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
But the real problem it's about ten to fifteen dollars cheaper.
If you put your finger open this, you won't be
able to put it down. Now, I understand money's money,
Like this is someone's live at state. So if you
bought this, and make sure impact that you don't put
your claim. If you put it like this or like this,
it won't work and your loved one's gonna die. I understand,
(16:33):
and buy a cheaper product, but you have to also
remember to buy a cheaper product to get a cheaper product,
and someone's live in the state, So if you think
of buying it, make sure you understand you cannot believe this.
Well too, someone you love owns this, make sure that
they music, they had the wherewithal and panic situation not
to cover this bent, but they've found that kind of
(16:58):
strictly a PSA. I obviously also buy a life back.
I know, I know, I made last forever. But if
you do go with this, please be careful and love
my life.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Hey, we're back in the arena. My name is Rick Thatcher.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
I'm along with Arthur Lee, Patrick O'Rourke and our special guest,
Alicia Mon Alicia, welcome, welcome back.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
You've been here. Yeah, you've been here.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
Yes, yes, you don't remember.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
That was.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Back when I made the big mistake of reading a
text saying that you were, you know, coming back to
Amityville or can't wait to go to aarsa are you from? No,
I just want to see the house and I.
Speaker 10 (17:44):
Still we drove by today the sign. I was like,
I still want to see the house.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
We're going to get that.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
Don listen. I want the tour of the house. So
somebody calls somebody like I want to have.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
They did change them. They changed the windows, so it's
a little harder. I heard that ocean.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I know, we go buy yeah, we go buy it old.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And yell oscar Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
But Alicia, refresh uh the collective memory of in the arena,
of how you came to know.
Speaker 10 (18:14):
Arthurly, we'll start with how I found the life back.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Yeah, that's that's part of the best place to stay.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Yeah, I was pregnant with Carter over there, Yo, Carter, Carter,
and I was doing my baby registry and I set
everything up and then one of the recommended things was
that showed me that, and I was like, my fuck,
that's interesting. I'll put it on my baby registry.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Hadn't hadn't heard of it, never heard of it.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
Before now, And I just kind of thought, somebody's gonna
see that, and they're not going to buy me a
sink plunchers.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It's a person plunger.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
People, it's a people plunger.
Speaker 10 (18:52):
Get bibs because bibbs in a sink puncher. And so
I ended up buying it for myself and put it
in the drawer just in the kitchen, just like hope
I never have to use this, and kind of went on.
And then we had Carter, and then when he was
two years old, toddling around the house, I guess we
(19:13):
were cooking our Matt was in the kitchen and he
found an ice cube on the floor and nobody knew
that he did it. And I turned around because I
heard him. He was like kind of muffled, and I
was just like, that's weird. I'm like, why is he
sounding like that? And I see him He's going like
this and grabbing his face and grabbing his neck and everything,
and I was like, oh my god. I was like, Matthew,
he's choking. You have to grab him right now. Grab him.
So he flipped him over.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
Sorry, back back clothes. We try it.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Yep, back blows he was doing. And he's doing that.
I go right to the drawer, pull out the life back,
pull out the little pediatric mask and put it on there.
I was like, get him on the floor. He put
him down, and then I look at his poor little face.
He was turning blue and purple and it was just horrible,
Like my baby's face was just like this horrible little
grimacet And I tell him watching it, telling you the
(19:55):
story right now, I'm watching it in my head.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
I hate to make you go through.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Do you have a medical or like a police background?
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Matt does?
Speaker 10 (20:03):
Matt does? I have him met a little bit of
a medical.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
But you kept you cool, like okay, yeah, And.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
Everybody's like, how do you do that? How did you
keep calm? And I was just like I was just like,
boom boom, boom, bom bom. This is what I gotta do.
Get put the kit on the floor. I'm doing this
and I put it down, put it on his face.
I pulled back and his head like because we were
on the kitchen floor, so his head moved just a
little bit, and I thought it didn't work. So I
look and I was ready to do it again, and
he pushes. He starts. You see it moving something in
(20:28):
his mouth, and I was like, oh, and I was like,
maybe he's got it. And he pushes it out and
sure enough he had the ice cube. Started crying and that.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
Was amazing that. What's say?
Speaker 10 (20:36):
Was it one forty you guys always asked me, and
I never remember. I think it's like one forty eight.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
I think, yeah, we're coming up on five thousand.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
But you know what I didn't That was an interesting
one because it was an ice cube, and in my
head I had a bunch of things I was curious about. Right,
they say an ice crea could melt, Promise it won't
melt l six minutes later, Right.
Speaker 10 (20:58):
I had. So I've had so many people come up
to me and say, well, it's an ice cube. I'm like,
all right, honey, you just sit there and you keep
choking and Mom, he's gonna wait for that. Are you
done yet? Is it over?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
People? Great?
Speaker 8 (21:10):
Just recently that I saw a like a medical post
warning parents about the danger of ice cubes.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Really, it was kind of cool because they've got you
right away.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
I thought of your family and I said, yeah, no ship,
no kidding, almost first twice in the same show.
Speaker 7 (21:24):
And I'm not even supposed to do that.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
And we're looking for an approximate from our from from
Donnie Eisley on how many ice cubes have been involved and.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
She's it's okay, she's busy.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
You can't know about everything.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
But over three hundred different things, right, over three hundred
different all of them, not all of them.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Food have been have been removed from airways with the Life.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Act, I actually cops and we say the perfect murder
weapon is ice. Yeah, you're bludging someone because it's just melts.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
And well remember there was an ice bullet that's supposedly
that was a big thing. Okay, we're off, sorry, check
coming back, got a brand. But you know you can
see the emotion when you tell that.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, I felt so.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
We always appreciate that and it's difficulty and its ability
to save others, and you've been great the videos, and
you were at our parties and you know, we got
car up and with me and him and Deborah Norville.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
That's one of my favorite.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
I love that picture so great, you little stinker, you
were on with me and Deborah. That was great. Don't
eat that When he got through that.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Problem, I'm going to go out on a limons say,
next to the commercial that well, certainly Ray is the
top five with Maya, but next to the one with
you and Jackie one of my favorite commercials the loans.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Yeah, yeah, really great.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
Well, they're very hardball, they're sincere, they're in the arena.
I mean, that's what it's about. And good segue to
a question you have for me, mister.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Yeah, what was this? You sent me a picture? You
sent me a picture of a ticket from like twenty
twelve Kill a Mockingbird?
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Right, Yeah, Why would I do that?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Why in the world would you send me a picture
today of all days?
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Yes, because that's the intro to the the other part
of this discussion. And when I started lying back, I
knew it was going to be a ridiculously impossible battle, right,
So just for the heck of it, I googled true courage?
Speaker 7 (23:23):
What is true courage? Right back?
Speaker 8 (23:26):
And that was the pre AI where who Knows where
it would go? And to Kill a Mockingbird came up
right now. That movie had always affected me, right, I
remember the book, I remember the movie. I remember the
fear of Scout thing. But advocate it was stuck with
me right because he took on he read yeah, budde
Radley when he was almost like the Boogieman, but he says,
(23:50):
when you take on a battle when you know you're licked,
but you give it all you got and sometimes you went.
But his point was, it's not courage and man with
a gun, it's going into something that's supposed to be
done that's right, knowing you're going to get clobbered, knowing
that you're going to fail.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
He knew he could.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
Not defend that man in the South in those circumstances,
but he's in. You go in and you do your
best and you give it all you have. And I said,
truo Courages, when you go in the Alamo, being the
mother of a child's child, you're clobbered, You're done. And
I knew I was getting clobbered in the beginning. It
(24:29):
was you know Jim Carrey and I'm a rip off
and I'm taking advantage and I'm scaring people Jim Carrey, Yeah,
from the movie where he takes a sink plunder.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
And he's going now.
Speaker 6 (24:39):
So two thousands was so funny. Twelve times the year
you invented facts. So you had already had the concept
and knew where you were headed.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Well, it was just a path to help me to say,
I didn't know what would come up on a Google
true courage, right, so now you go down the path
and I'd taken up and I mean people like Alicia
and Stacy new definition of true courage. Don't you think
it's tough?
Speaker 10 (25:08):
It's every day is tough, right, But you get up
like nothing happened the day before, It could have been
the worst day of the day before, and you get
up and you're like, let's go, let's have another fun day,
keep going.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Positive.
Speaker 10 (25:21):
That's all you can do.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
But that it's all you can do. But not everyone
has the courage to do it.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
But don't you think that you know, you're open to
talk about it depth of whatever you want, but does
seem to be a lot of support.
Speaker 10 (25:40):
It's that's the hardest part is that you're constantly you know,
you're most of the time on your own doing it,
and you know Matt's obviously like by my side doing it.
But it's hard. You don't have support. You go into
a store and people will stare at you with your
kids screaming.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Well, that's the accidental rudeness part when you know, I
came up with that term because I've seen it. You know,
where you're not purposely rude, right, Oh, they control your
child like you're trying to be some helpful elder person
and you're like, you didn't even know the battle and
shut that almost cursed again. That would have been three. Yeah,
(26:16):
but they didn't didn't.
Speaker 10 (26:17):
Well, then I can't tell that story.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
No, But I think there's two forms of necessary awareness
with parents and children with challenges. One is more resources.
Tell me some of your battles with the resource, be
it personal. I'd love to talk to someone or you
(26:41):
know the challenges of getting the right schooling or education
or help.
Speaker 10 (26:44):
Yeah, I mean where you were going through a battle
right now with carter schooling the public school. He did
try it when he was little and they could not
accommodate his needs and so fighting them from the beginning
has just been a nightmare. And then I kind of
gave up because I said, well, what am I fighting
you for If you can't even help him. You can't
(27:04):
give him what he needs. You've already proved that you
can't give him anything. So I was like, all right, well,
then I guess we're paying for everything out of pocket
and we're going to figure it out. I don't know
how we're going to do it, but let's just do it.
There's a way. And then one of his therapists had
brought up this private school it's called the Speech Academy,
and he attended the summer program there and within a
(27:26):
month's time, like his speech is exploded.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
I know, it's.
Speaker 10 (27:32):
Wild, and so like I can't wait for him to
go here, and and I can't wait to see what
next year, like, you know, a year from today, Like
what's this kid.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Going to be like?
Speaker 10 (27:41):
And No, well, that's the thing is I spoke. I
had to hire an attorney. I mean, they don't want
to just say, yeah, sure, your kid can't do it here,
and there's a place that he can do it here,
let's send up. Nope, you have to hire an attorney.
You have to have PPT meetings and hearing p Yeah,
it's just it's I know, I don't think it's like
(28:05):
a parent something. What is it?
Speaker 5 (28:09):
Yeah, place something.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
Apparently your audience charming in it's fantastic. Thank you for
your help.
Speaker 10 (28:14):
Studio audience they have they have exactly, they have so
many like different like things that you're just like, I
forget what all of them are because they want to
confuse you. They want to make you feel like you're
not smart because they know what this is, but you
don't because you're a new parent in the school system.
So I mean and know, I have a PPT meeting
next Thursday with the school system with their attorney, our attorney,
(28:37):
and we're going to battle.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
This house is public and this is public school. Yeah,
and you pay your taxes.
Speaker 10 (28:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, Unfortunately I have to Where where is the speech?
Speaker 10 (28:46):
It's in eastern Connecticut in Danbury, Connecticut. Forty five minutes,
so your.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Math, you're gonna just that it's a sacrifice right there,
exactly forty five minutes.
Speaker 10 (28:58):
Matt takes them in the morning, forty.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
Five on the motorcycle.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
That's why you're speaking.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Now. That could really ride the way to say you
are got the motorcycle? Is it.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
Planning? And they call us a team, we are not
a team.
Speaker 11 (29:20):
Well they're not.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
Whatsoever against them, you.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Know me, but thinking and going through this someone with you,
because who love you and Stacy and her same challenge.
They're getting help and it's just battle. And we we
put so much resources to so many things. I feel
like it's almost backwards in this world. Like there's a
lot of people get a lot of help, and then
(29:47):
we have these people that really need.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
It and deserve it. These are kids through the right.
But we have to change that.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
We have to get that upper higher up in the
invisibility and and in the accessibility right. You know, there's
so many places that bring in gazillions.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Of dollars and then you have to fight for a child,
right that and same with her the same thing, well
well needs special treatments, needs education, needs therapy, and it's bad.
Speaker 10 (30:19):
Something so simple. It's just diapers. I mean, you have
a child with special needs and you need diapers. We
have to pay for diapers.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Still, Yeah, but I think too.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
And but that's my point that we have so many
beautiful you know from the Red Cross, all these things
can't we come up with a better way to help
our children that really need some help. The second thing
on this is, and I was curious about this in
the accidental rudeness, right, Oh, you know you've had your encounters, right,
and you're so meek about it that it's very kind.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
But me meek would not be a word that I
would No, I yes, sarcasm, you did see that.
Speaker 7 (30:56):
Have you had any beautiful moments?
Speaker 10 (30:58):
Yes? And in that same moment, if you've read that.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Whole thing, go through it a little bit.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
So it goes into just, you know, accentual rudeness is
you know, doing something unconsciously that is rude and then saying,
oh my god, that was rude and I'm sorry. And
it stems more from the cell phone right where you're
you're standing somewhere you're doing something. That's where I recognized it.
Right where you're on your phone and you don't realize
your blocking an aisle where you're you know, you're you're
(31:26):
holding up a line and it's deeper. But that's what
brought it to my attention, right, that we do things
that aren't necessarily on purpose, but they're rude and they're
mean and That's when I thought, to you with that story,
so go ahead, give me the story. And I think
it can't curse because I took up our three Alicia
Malone the Mike.
Speaker 10 (31:49):
Yeah, well, I was going just to buy a birthday
cake for my mom in the supermarket and just picked
Carter up from school and it was me, Carter, and Kelly.
We run into the supermarket and my fault that Carter
picked out a certain candle or something like that and
I was like, no, baby, I don't need that and
I put it back on the rack. Well, that set
them off and be mad. He wanted that candle and
(32:14):
it was my fault.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Delicious no carbs.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Like that.
Speaker 10 (32:26):
So he got upset at that point and was throwing things.
This is the first thing that he does when he
gets mad is he'll throw his glasses, he'll throw cars, whatever,
he's got shoes. So he's already doing that. So I'm like,
all right, now we have to hurry, like I got
the cake. Look at this cake, Like, let's go hurry up.
And I'm trying to rush through the store. So I'm like,
all right, let me see if I can grab like
steak or something really quick food for dinner. So I'm
(32:46):
rushing over the steak and as I'm doing that, he
hums his glasses again into the chicken. And I was like, cool, like,
let me go grab those really quick chicken raw chicken,
like grabbing eyes, like reaching for his asses on the shelf.
And right behind me, this guy goes, it's not the
kid's fault, and I'll turn around and he goes and
(33:09):
he goes, it's the parents and looks right at my face,
and I was like, I was like, oh so mad
right now, and I am not taking it on my kid,
but I'm going to take it out on you.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
So I was.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
I walked right up to him, and I was like,
I can't believe you. I was just like I'm trying
to like not say, not really said. I was like,
I said, he has a disability, but you are in yeah,
one of the words I said something whole a hole.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
You're an a hole, And I just was like, yeah,
to ask himself.
Speaker 10 (33:45):
No, he kind of well, he cowered kind of a
little bit, like he just like looked down and like
didn't want to look at me anymore, like kind of
like staring at the chicken and like, and I was
just like just at him, and then from behind me,
my first grade teacher comes up to me and I
haven't seen her in years, and she's like a at
(34:06):
least and I'll turn around like I was like, oh
my god. I was like hi, and she goes, how
are you.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Pull me?
Speaker 10 (34:14):
Yes, she's yeah, And I felt like I was already
like okay, I'm embarrassed because I haven't seen her in
forever and she sees me in this situation. So she
did the thing that somebody should do. Anybody can do
it funk up and just say how are you kids doing?
And looking at the kids and like what are you doing?
Are you buying a cake? And the kids are like yeah,
And like just change that train of thought for a child,
(34:36):
like don't stare at people. Don't think like what a
terrible parent you are, because you know how stressed out
that parent is. You think that they want their kid
to be screaming through the supermarket as you're rushing to
grab the food. Really it quick. You don't want to
deal with that. That's stressful for you. You don't want
to go to the store to begin with.
Speaker 8 (34:54):
Yeah, I think, but see that's bringing this out. Not
only is it challenging in your whole light, the moment
you wake up to the moment you go to bed.
Now you're gonna go out and have this situation where
it's such a callous, such a cowardice, such a sad thing.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
You know, like, we're gonna we're gonna hear more about this.
We have to quick break. We'll be right back with more.
Speaker 7 (35:17):
I'm impressed.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
As Alicia Malone and the Man in the Arena.
Speaker 11 (35:33):
I was in the living room when I heard my
son Carter, who was two at the time. I looked
over and I saw him grabbing for his face. It
was I grab a life back. I put the mask
on his face and place push Paul. The life back
dislodged the ice cube from his airway. When he started crying,
the most amazing sound I've ever heard in my entire life.
Speaker 10 (35:56):
Please protect your family, get the life back.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
That was great her, I said, we are back at
uh in the arena. We're back in the arena for
got six.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
My name is Rick Thatcher, along with Arthur Lee pad
of Rourke and Alicia Malone, who's been talking to us.
Speaker 5 (36:17):
About the situation that popped up. Accidental rudeness.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
I don't think anything was accidental about it, that was
just he may have regretted it in a big way.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yes, if he regretted it, if accidentally he didn't take
a stand on it and say hey, you know, but
I would, I get it, you know, I don't. Yeah,
I'm not on his side, but I'm sure he felt
terrible when he found out.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Yes, but that's good and that's important, and that's why
we have to talk about it. Because when you're there
and you say, you know the kids nowadays, and they well,
maybe he's facing battles.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
You don't know.
Speaker 8 (36:52):
And I think I remember when Baul was at the
at the Hall Saves, right. I don't d you were
there yet, but I was making the big speech and
Bob decides he's going to say yeah, like freaking.
Speaker 7 (37:04):
Hey, hey, what the yeah?
Speaker 8 (37:07):
But he just walked out of the audience and came up,
and I'm like, I guess it's time for Bo to
be here. But if we all had a little more compassion,
you know, and you're the bizarre first grade teacher thing,
that's Godwin, that's like a weird dream.
Speaker 10 (37:22):
I thought immediately, I was like, that's our god wink.
Immediately immediately I thought it.
Speaker 8 (37:27):
But it is, and to me, it reminds me like
when I tell someone I was shooting pull with Ben
Carson and I got text from Joe piscoll. I'm like,
this sounds like one of those goofy dreams that yeah,
like you know, and you wake up and you go,
you wouldn't believe what I dream like, You're like, I
had this stream. I was in the supermarket, the guy
thinking my first grade teacher.
Speaker 7 (37:47):
So it just to me those godwings sometimes are like
these crazy dreams, and you know, the first grade teacher thing.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
My gosh, even the partners a teacher you loved, have
my teacher, I wuldn't even wreck no.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
When I have one teacher.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Had you been in touch? First grade teacher?
Speaker 11 (38:08):
Right?
Speaker 10 (38:09):
It was my first and I was We're friends on
Facebook and everything, so I like text her. I was like,
I'm so sorry that you had to see that whole thing.
Speaker 5 (38:15):
What did your apologize?
Speaker 10 (38:16):
Yeah? I apologize, Yeah? Did she kind of say I
am She said yeah, she said I completely understand. It's okay.
It was great to see you. She was just so wonderful.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
Now, Matt mentioned something about another children's museum. Did you
kill someone here or Is this a good one?
Speaker 5 (38:31):
That bloodshed?
Speaker 10 (38:31):
Now you want to I mean you want to kill
you do? I wish that it was a good thing.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
You want to hum a rock at him, rock at
somebody's head.
Speaker 7 (38:41):
The question on that one was there a good side
or it was just someone.
Speaker 10 (38:46):
Somebody being a jerk. And it was another mother and
it was literally like it's a little kid, Karen, like Karen,
like you know when kid has a toy. And then
Carter grabbed a toy from his hand. I immediately was
saying like, no, you got to get back, and she's
like you and she's snatching the toy out of his hand.
I was like, no, you don't do that.
Speaker 7 (39:05):
Well, I think that we need to beware of special
needs parents.
Speaker 10 (39:09):
We have become you you turn into a bit you know.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
I think it's gotten worse from the pandemic. I think
that we have become so much more in each other's face.
You know, you can't parky, you can't wait in it.
I got yelled at for five minutes over a sunset
one time on my motorcycle and it's greaming you as
leading the parking lot sunset going in like because it's
a rule, right and I think people become empowered to want.
Speaker 7 (39:33):
To tell you what to do. Citizens arrest citizens a
ray as citizens a rays. Sorry, watch a lot of
Andy Griffins with my fall.
Speaker 8 (39:42):
But I think it's worse, and I think we need
to reverse that, and we need to have more compassion
and we have more understanding. And I think a lot
of it as they would saying I don't know why
this is happening. I'll just shut up, maybe I'll help, Right,
I use it all the time with.
Speaker 7 (40:00):
The road rage thing.
Speaker 8 (40:01):
Someone comes flying by and go, man, I hope he's
all right, you know, I hope he's not racing his
kid at the hospital, right.
Speaker 7 (40:07):
And I immediately go there, right, you know, the two
battles that you guys have to deal with.
Speaker 8 (40:14):
It's enough like when we when someone like bo gets
a life, we've been saved like five times.
Speaker 7 (40:20):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 8 (40:21):
And when I have someone who's in a wheelchair or
parent that has a child that's a challenged and I
can't give him a life back, I'm like, I feel good.
It took one brick off. They still have four thousand
on them, right, but one brick. What's a brickway You've
lost over a brick?
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Or I believe it about fifteen pounds.
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Have you lost one of them? I've lost two bricks. See,
so you feel better, you can take go ahead.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
No, I actually do just like once in a while
when I've been on a bunch of times. But like
you a forty five pound plate, you know, when you're working, Yeah,
and you know, I'm like, oh my god, I lost person. Right,
That's how fad I get. I love twenties.
Speaker 7 (41:01):
I wasn't going in that route, but it was you
relate to the Oh I can hump twenties down.
Speaker 9 (41:08):
I'm bringing that back.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
That's a great expression I already did. Yes, I think
a commercial, but I think if we I'm hocking it.
Speaker 5 (41:21):
I think you can only hack ALOGI I think that's
the only thing you can.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Hockey is stealing.
Speaker 8 (41:25):
Also, hockey is like getting money for like your friend
or something in hock Rady a porn shop. How do
we go on these paths? That's what I want to
went from hunt the hawk. We're saving kids.
Speaker 5 (41:40):
Let's bring it back in the arena.
Speaker 7 (41:41):
You know.
Speaker 6 (41:42):
The one thing that I thought of when when someone
is dealing with Alicia and in the situation like that,
it's really important. Jack Handy the philosopher said it best.
If you're gonna before you criticize someone, you're gonna walk
a mile in their shoes, absolutely, because if they get
really mad, like you might get, you're a mile away
and you have their shoes.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
A good point o people like me.
Speaker 7 (42:08):
But you know, I think you know we're coming to
the end.
Speaker 8 (42:10):
But the two things that we need to continue to
talk about and address right is the accidental rudeness and
the lack of Part of Stacy's mission is the brotherhood
a place to share about the challenges that the solo
to you. He and I were talking about this earlier
about my accident. I didn't have anyone that was in
(42:32):
those circumstances, you know, and it's a very lonely place,
and I think that it's hard for you know, you
to have a conversation about whiz and glasses and with
a mom that's like would just tell him not to
you know, put him in the corner and then he
would eat the corner and burn the house down.
Speaker 7 (42:51):
So pick some fine to thank you.
Speaker 8 (42:56):
But I think we need to continue that and we
need to open it up and we definitely have to
address it on a bigger scale.
Speaker 7 (43:04):
For the resource part. That really bothers me.
Speaker 8 (43:07):
And because I go to all these fundraisers and I
do all this and you know there's a lot of help.
Speaker 6 (43:14):
Well you saw it with the price of the Life
Act being the first concern when you met with the
school in Wisconsin. Yeah, right, I mean that's what that's
what the problem is, right, money.
Speaker 7 (43:25):
Yeah. But once again though it shouldn't be so this
is it should be an easier path. This is not
a brainer. You know what we you know, we we
can deal with other reductions in places, and I think
we can develop a foundation that makes it easier for
parents to get the special services. I even the special
(43:47):
is not the right word. It's the equal services. It's
a necessary service. But you know, you didn't say, oh boy,
this is great, my kid gets to go here, right,
you say I need to go there.
Speaker 5 (43:58):
Similarly, it's in the ADA, right, it's part of the idea, but.
Speaker 7 (44:01):
It's it's just not it's not treated properly, And no
doubt bothers me. And we'll we'll keep addressing it.
Speaker 8 (44:07):
But I think it's important we start that dialogue right
and we're start getting out there that you know, this
is an avenue where kindness, courage, and compassion come into play,
and we need to highlight those things and we need
see more of it. We need to get out of
your mask, not covering your nose when the kid's having
a freak out in the supermarket.
Speaker 7 (44:28):
You know, shut holy cow, that has been four.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Square jar we getting rich tonight.
Speaker 7 (44:37):
Well one got out, but the three I held back.
Speaker 5 (44:41):
But so list have you met Ray Preeby? Yes, that
was not the last, the three thousand. Yeah, it's amazing.
He joins us every week.
Speaker 6 (44:51):
It's mister three k and uh he saved his daughter,
of course, and he's coming up in the next segment.
But we appreciate you so much, you guys, for the
whole families here.
Speaker 7 (44:59):
You know, we love you.
Speaker 8 (45:01):
And Stacey, she was gonna come on, I think about it.
Maybe talk with her what she's doing. And let's address
this again and and let's keep talking about it and
and let's get some wins.
Speaker 10 (45:11):
That would be great, all right, Uncle.
Speaker 12 (45:13):
Alicia meek malone, let's yes, what is the new term
for today's show? Humming glasses that the chicken?
Speaker 7 (45:24):
Yes, yes, glasses the chicken.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
He hummed, My goodness, speaking of true courage, l I
U is playing Florida this weekend a football and they're
forty six and a half point underdog.
Speaker 7 (45:39):
Real thing we should watch.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
I can get killed. You think, yes, you got money
And my mother bet the biggest underdog in the car
because she didn't like bullies.
Speaker 7 (45:50):
Oh that's adorable. You always want that's Alicia Lesson.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
But I was just thinking about that true coverage statement.
Speaker 7 (45:56):
That's going into that. I would want to go into
that game.
Speaker 6 (46:01):
We're going to be back with more like Man in
the Arena. After this break with Ray preby mister three
K coming up next, she started.
Speaker 7 (46:22):
To choke on a piece of candy.
Speaker 9 (46:23):
She wasn't breathing.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
Then Ray reached for the life back and it saved her.
She could have easily died that day. A life back
saved her life.
Speaker 9 (46:32):
What I would say is, don't need a life back
and not have it. Have a life back and hopefully
never need it.
Speaker 8 (46:39):
Recently, the American Red Cross has added anti joking devices
as an option when standard protocol.
Speaker 7 (46:45):
Fails or is not feasible.

Well, we can't wait, we can't wait to see everyone again.
Speaker 9 (48:46):
Absolutely, yes, I'll go on. I love you all. Right,
down to business. My prediction is so as Ezrick was saying,
I missed three thousand because of my daughter, number three
thousand saved, which happened to be three hundred and twelve
(49:07):
days ago. So for one year, mark, I gave my Uh,
I gave my prediction last week, and since since October twentieth,
twenty twenty four, we are one thousand, five hundred and
eighty eight saves in three hundred and twelve days. Wow,
(49:28):
pretty amazing, absolutely amazing. So, uh, Bobby, do we have
a screen tonight? Want to let's run that number? Here
we go.
Speaker 6 (49:38):
I'm going to read it for those workings at all
save four thousand sixty lives.
Speaker 2 (49:49):
I always want the OA.
Speaker 5 (49:49):
That's busy.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
I was off by four.
Speaker 9 (49:53):
You're getting closer, Pat, you're getting closer.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
Hey, I like being I like the under getting directed
as we speak.
Speaker 9 (49:59):
Right, that's right, buddy.
Speaker 7 (50:01):
How many lives we got saved today?
Speaker 9 (50:03):
Six saves today?
Speaker 7 (50:05):
And what if I told you Donna's here? How many
would you guess? We saved because I have a better number.
We saved eight.
Speaker 9 (50:14):
Eight saves.
Speaker 1 (50:17):
Eight.
Speaker 9 (50:18):
Well, Arthur, okay, Arthur, how many saves this week?
Speaker 8 (50:22):
Are you?
Speaker 7 (50:22):
And you got.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Twenty six? Twenty four?
Speaker 9 (50:27):
We have forty saves this week? Four zero.
Speaker 2 (50:31):
Wow, that's impressive.
Speaker 3 (50:34):
That is.
Speaker 9 (50:35):
If we keep having weeks like that, I'm gonna be
a little a little short on my number. But you
know what, that's the best news ever. Yeah, baby, So
let's get into the highlight of the week because it
is the weod one and it's from my hometown here
in Florida. On August twenty third, a nineteen month old
(50:57):
girl from Florida choked on a chip. Total obstruction protocol
was performed but failed. My daughter was walking around and
had gotten hold of a chip her older brother had dropped.
She unfortunately cripped and went to cry from the fall
with the chip in her mouth. It caused her to
(51:18):
aspirate the ship and cause complete airway blockage. By the
time my husband brought her to me, she was completely
blue and making absolutely no sound. I yelled for him
to bring me the life back into call nine to
one one. With one suction, I was able to get
her throwing up and crying thank you from the bottom
(51:41):
of my heart. This is worth every single penny. She
was followed up to see the pediatrician and checked out perfect.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (51:50):
Man, you know Ray, when you read those I love
that part of the show. I really do.
Speaker 8 (51:54):
And I love the gratitude because you could feel you
could feel that moment. You know it like you talk
about it or he talks about it. You always get misty.
I mean you should and uh, that's my I don't know,
that's my favorite.
Speaker 7 (52:10):
I love when you read it.
Speaker 9 (52:11):
It's an event that a parent never forgets. You know,
when you're watching your child in a life and death
situation and you're responsible for taking care of them and
saving them, you know that that never goes away. Never.
Speaker 5 (52:26):
Ray does Maya remember, she says, she.
Speaker 9 (52:30):
Remembers, but obviously we have life Back everywhere. We talk
to everybody about it. She's around everybody when we talk
about it, so I don't know if she necessarily remembers it,
but she certainly knows that we talk about it often.
She knows the device, she knows where we keep the
life back, she knows what it does, how it works,
so she's very conscious of the entire situation.
Speaker 5 (52:54):
And she saw Dad hanging her picture up in the
Hall of Saves, which.
Speaker 9 (52:58):
She did, number three thousand of them.
Speaker 7 (53:00):
Yeah, and then she did repeat Rose, that's what was
a handroll man.
Speaker 9 (53:05):
And she's only done about thirty of those since we
left today.
Speaker 8 (53:09):
But I've had the plageagon out with him and she
is just you know what, if you want to save
energy and youthful mind would be the one.
Speaker 9 (53:19):
Absolutely Yeah. Never a dull moment with that one. Let
me tell you you know what, Just you know, we've
got a great saying here for you, guys. Yeah, let's
hear that way, Ray, life back. Better to have it
and not need it than need it and not have it.
The life you save could be your own, could be
a child, could be a parent, could be anybody, could
(53:40):
be a stranger. So get a life back. Love you guys,
and God blass could be.
Speaker 6 (53:44):
You get many About seventy people have saved themselves correct,
one hundred and twenty nine.
Speaker 9 (53:52):
I think about it. Oh, I need I need to
pick up with that.
Speaker 2 (53:56):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
