Speaker 1 (00:07):
Now on iHeartRadio, the Man in the Arena, the Life
Back Radio Show where we explore incredible stories of courage,
resilience and life saving moments. Here's your hosts, founder, inventor
and CEO of Life Back, Arthur Lee and Life Back
Advocate and President of Sales, Rick Thatcher.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We'll be Rick Fatcher, so a little different show.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I have my friend Courage here will be my co host,
and I have Danielle in the studio. But the gist
of today is revolving around chapter twenty my book, Manners
Cop and the Rise of Accidental Rudeness. Now we're not
going to delve into it as much because we have
such incredible guests, and I have one that's on a
tight time frame, and her name is Betsy McCoy, former
(00:59):
Lieutenant governor New York and she's an author, she's a
TV personality, But more important than all that, she is
one amazing human being. I find that if I am
in her presence, I walk away feeling better. But in
the lines of The Manners Cop and the Rise of
Accidental Rudeness, when we met her mission has to do
(01:24):
with infectious diseases and infection in hospitals and it's such
an underlying unknown tragedy, and so is choking right one person,
one child every five days, five thousand a year, fourth
leading cause accental death. So along those lines of the
one of the awareness that these challenging and deadly things exist.
(01:50):
But more importantly about Betsy is she's just an amazing
person and tackling something that is not prevalent. We don't
know enough about out it and the man in the
arena is about being in the battle and fighting these
battles that no one knows about. And yeah, you know,
the good thing about it is there is failure involved,
(02:10):
but it's also about keep going. So because she's.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Unlimited time, I'll bring her in right away. Betsy, you
there hero.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
When he says nicely, I feel wonderful.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Well, because you know, I wish, I wish I could
bottle the feeling that you radiate and your enthusiasm for
such a cause that is so unknown, and I I
you just amazed me. She really like glows, you know,
like you've been around someone and like you walk away
you feel better like you. I appreciate that you're a
(02:49):
lot like that. It's always nice to be around people.
So Betsy, give us a give us the scoop.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Well, the scoop is I'm so glad to be on
the show because whenever I have a microphone, there's one
thing I want to do with it. I want to
alert everyone listening to the problem of hospital infections and
tell them that we can help protect them. We don't
usually have a choice when we're going to go into
the hospital. It's not voluntary, like going out to dinner.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And yet.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I am a little exasperated. For example, New York City
inspects restaurants for cleanliness, but not hospitals. Can you imagine
you can go home and make your own dinner in hospitals?
This problem of cleanliness, lack of cleanliness is killing so
many people. In fact, over one hundred thousand people a
(03:45):
year die from hospital infections. One hundred thousand a year
or there just in our alone.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well, when you told me that, and you know, we
had that connection of fighting these unknown battles, the man
and the woman in the arena, of these things that
we're not aware of, you know, And the thought was
that we had similar missions. Right, awareness is the first key,
because who knew one hundred thousand people? But you know,
(04:12):
being the woman in the arena. You didn't just sit
back and wait for hospitals get clean. You did something
about it. And you know you can get the rig
kit at lightbeck dot net. And we will persevere to
get the insurance industry involved because money makes the world move.
But who cares it will help us save lives? But
tell us about the rig kit.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Well, the rig kit is a It's an item that
everyone should have in their bedside table or in the
closet right near their front door when they realize they
have to go to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
This is what you need to take.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
And it includes in it the tools so that you
can protect yourself from a hospital infection. I'll give you
just three examples. If I asked you, what is the
number one predictor of who gets a hospital infection?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Is that their age? Now? Is it the sickness that
brought them into the hospital. Now?
Speaker 5 (05:07):
The number one predictor of which patients get a hospital
infection is what which room they're placed in.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Amazing, and they're assigned to.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
If they're put in the room and a preceding patient
had an infection in that room, they're going to get
it because that preceding patient was discharged and said home,
but his germs were left behind on the bedrail, the
call button, the TV controls, the privacy curtain.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Can you imagine that is the number one.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Cause firms left behind when the previous patient is sent home.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, but you The genius to the rig kit is
that we can be self reliant. Right if we're going
if we have someone on a love warning, we're going in.
We can get a rig kit and it has the instructions,
that has the antibiotics, it has the slippers. It easy.
You can't prevent this from half.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
For example, one of the items in the kid is
a good supply of these bleach wipes.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
So that you were a loved one can.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Clean those high touch surfaces right around the bed every day.
And we have the research to show that just using
that one item the reduces the risk of the most
numerous hospital infection seediff by eighty six percent.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Can you imagine eighty.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Six thousand people a years lives could be saved. Now,
we save lives, not eighty six thousand a year. Maybe someday,
but really what's frustrating is getting this message out there.
Right who knew? Did you know? No?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You don'd like to say that to me.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Who knew? Do you? Who knew?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Let's take another example, Arthur.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well, who knew? Do that? Who knew?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
See that's how he does.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Who knew?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Now, let's take another example.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
In the is a small bottle of something called chlora hexident.
Almost all surgeons, including orthopedic surgeons, will tell you if
you're going into the hospital for neat replacement a hip
replacement heart surgery, you should start bathing with this so
three days before you go to the hospital. It removes
(07:20):
the dangerous bacteria you could have on your own skin.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
That would migrate the surgical decision and cause a nasty infection.
So there it is a kit.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You know, I thought of you the other day my
uh my sisters and brother in law's brother in law
when in his wife went in that back surgery, came
out no problem. He went in, he got an infection
and he was in for like two months.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, I know, but wait, he's okay, But it's a
god wing to kick me in the butt to re
energize my battle on this. And you know, maybe he's
got winked at someone in the insurance listening because It
would be so simple that your insurance got that you
were going in for an operation, they sent you a
(08:12):
rig kit because you know, our mission is saving lives,
same with you know, life back. Now you're gonna get
sued for not having it. But we don't want that.
We want the people to be okay. We want them
to you know, not get an infection exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
And insurance companies should want this too.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Because it's a very powerful message to their customers that
they care.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And secondly, it will reduce costs.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Tons of costs. I mean he was in for an
addition like like three weeks. I mean that's tremendous amount
of money. But if the evil money drives the solution, fine,
let's use that, right.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
So I have to also come to hospital infection dot
org our website Hospital Infection or and get lots of
information and they can also order the kit and then
they're taken back to your website. It's really cozy, Arthur.
My website is connected to your website.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Oh I like that. Hey baby, let's connect on our website.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No, but I you know, and that's probably a little
godwink in itself that we both have these missions that
are you know, the unknown. Right when you say your
number and I say my number of people, go what really?
Five thousand people choke? That fourth leading clothes accidental death
and you say one hundred thousand people die from a
(09:40):
hospital infection. And what's really frustrating in both cases? And
I'll tell a story about light back later. But doesn't
have to happen, right, not rocket science, get the rig kit,
clean yourself, wipe yourself down, wipe down the surfaces.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You've got a kid, get a light back, don't let
them choke to death. Let's get it.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
The schools we have similar missions of these unknown huge killers.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Well, I want to say, as i'm later in, it
was a lucky day when I met Arthur.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I met him in the new Smack screen room.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Well wasn't that right before your grandchild? Right, that's right?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
And he was showing everyone his uh, his choking device,
choking prevention device. And I went up to him. I thought,
I'm going to talk to that good lucking guy. And
I said, woman, I said, can.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You take my kid too?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And he said absolutely, Well, because we're kidney spirits and
we're fighting these unknown dragons. And you know, I know
I don't have to say it, but you will keep
fighting and I will keep fighting, and I know you
have limit of time. I appreciate you coming on. I
get to see you for once tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yes, looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, me too, and we'll we'll re energize and reattack.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Okay, bye bye, Like.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
I mean, it wasn't spoken about. But also it would
be amazing in a nursing home because although we do
have obviously protocols and policies to follow when we're cleaning
or you know, doing a terminal cleaning, when somebody changes rooms,
things get messed. I mean that's just things just get messed.
So it would be nice if you had a loved
one in a nursing home and you had the kids
(11:23):
new to wipe down certain things. It would be great.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well to me, we we can't rely on others, I said, can't.
I'm not supposed to do that. That's a lot, that's
a lite. But we should not rely on others. Our
world has become pointing fingers. We need to be more
self responsible. Right now, You're going to go in the
hospital and get an affection, meet there for three months
(11:48):
and then say that hospital isn't clean.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Okay, Well, don't what good is that?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
You know? Oh, you know we didn't have a life
back So okay, the kids dead, So we need to
read amphasize our own personal responsibility, you know. And with
the rig kid, it's you know, I just have to
get in front of the right people. And you know,
you get your you're going in for an operation. You
(12:13):
get a rig kit comes out of Amazon, it comes
at us and as soon as you get that notice
you're going in, it shows up at your house. One
hundred thousand people. Great, you ever going to the hospital.
Oh yeah, mental, No, no, not just regular kind of stuff.
I had a problem with my heart. Oh really, it's
(12:36):
nice telling you all right, So Kurage on the show.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
People people who say like that me you now they say,
oh he's such a fun interesting guy.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
They don't know you. Yeah, you were really interesting, really
going to those stories your comic relief.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Here you read my book.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
But we have a little bit let's see what are
we at?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Cool, So in the chapter and we're going to talk
about you.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But did you read it just that?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Okay? Good. So Manner's Cop and the Rise of accidental rudeness, right, so,
and how it ties into what we're talking about was
I was in the I was at an airport and
I was in line. I went in the bathroom and
they came out and there was men and women on
different sides right, and there was a lady in the middle,
just standing in the middle on her phone. I'm like,
(13:29):
that's pretty rude, you know, trying to get by and
standing in the middle of the thing. Then it hit
me she was on her phone and didn't realize that
the line had grown. So when she first was on
her phone, no one was there. It was no big deal.
You walk around there and I said, oh my goodness,
we're developing accidental rudeness from our phones alone. And you know,
(13:51):
you're you're at the gym, you got your music on,
and you know, you don't realize someone's waiting for the machine.
And it ties into we don't realize that one hundred
thousand people die from affects in a hospital. We don't
realize that seven kids have died in school from choking.
So I think, and it's going to go into what
(14:11):
you dealt with and your mission to get kid other
people close and advocacy that these underlying battles exist and
the technology created that woman's drudness and these subtle things
like there was no answer to choking, right, so kids
(14:32):
would choke.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
To death in school and they say, oh, well, you
know we did die.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I'm like, what are you going to do? And in
the elder care world, more and more people are going
into them. You know, my grandparents' allme, my parents home.
Now we have a world that's running so fast and
they're getting shoveled off. I don't mean that. I know
it's a challenge and it's appropriate, but we have created issues.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
We can do better.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
We can do better, we can do better.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
There's definitely for improvement.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, so that's the kind of the tie in that
it's almost being more conscious. You know what I'm saying.
You do cards like with the kids, right, you coach
kids and you're a high school coach.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Do you do you see them not as connected because
of the phone? Absolutely? Right? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
I mean you can have the best conversations texting, and
once you see the kid and you're looking at each other,
it's gone. They can't even look at you in the eye.
I'm not that they're disrespectful or anything, they just don't
have the skills is not developed.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
But that's almost part of the accidental rudeness, like the
guy's quieter, he doesn't listen.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
And you know, going back to the lady you were
talking about on the phone, you could say she was rude.
But some people are just don't realize the ignorant. It's
not like they're trying to be rude, they just don't
think that way, which I always thought like was crazy that,
like how do you not FI get us out?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
How did you learn manners? Do you have any manners?
Speaker 8 (16:05):
Most of it was I tried no, you know, I
guess it was when I when I saw someone with
bad manners, I used to get embarrassed. Shame, shame, you
don't you're good? Point, and then I would try. I
would make sure it was a big thing to me.
I mean that's how I was raised, and and you
make sure that you just don't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
In the book I go into you know, my Jackie
used to call me the manners cop, you know, because
I would be like that was a non negotiable, you know.
And but what I think and what we have to
understand and realize when we're teaching those lessons. It's fun
being polite. It is cool, you know, like holding the door.
(16:47):
I am the chapter with I'll hold the door a
little longer now, like I'll see someone across the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I'll wait.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I'm like, I got it.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I'd rather just wait. It's fun I get to open
the door.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Oh my god, that was so nice to you.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I had a funny one the other day.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I was in Florida and the ladies rooms like on
the side, and the men's room is facing out, so
like a hallway with one door on the side, so
if you're walking down it, you see a door. But
that was the men's room. Lady's room was against the wall.
I didn't notice or see that. So I see a
lady coming down. I went to hold the door for
(17:22):
I'm like, oh wait a second. And we both had
a good laugh because I was like my manner's cop break.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I'm like, I'll hold the door. Oh wait, You're not
going in there, are you.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
But I think there's a joy to be in polite,
you know, and so you know me and you sometimes
you could lead to funny stuff. Have you had a
good funny man in this moment you can think of
you usually have a good story and stuff like this.
I just did. That's the way, Siri, give me your
(17:59):
your manner.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
How to learn them?
Speaker 7 (18:01):
How did I learn them?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Do you have them?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I have?
Speaker 7 (18:04):
I think I have them. I can't be positive. Some
say that I might not at times. I don't have
a filter. I'm not really sure if that's a manner.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So I was thinking about that.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I was thinking about that with you, because you have
fantastic man it's an amazing soul. But you do have
no filter. But it's not usually being rude, it's being daniellel.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
I have to really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, oh my god, one might clock here. Okay, we
got it. We didn't take quick break, Bobby and uh.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Commercial, I'm not really good at this. Rick's good. You
should do it. Take us away to something if I
have time to prepare. You told me come down me
and you're talking on the radio show. I had no idea.
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Id that in a while.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
I was like, let me go, let me go see you.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
You know you were talking about kids.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I was talking to somebody yesterday.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
I find with kids in their twenties and thirties, the
difference between our generation and them, it's like they're not
that opinionating.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
They don't have any opinions. No, you know, I say
to my son, now, what do you think about abortion?
Are you for? Are you against it? For example? You
know what you know?
Speaker 8 (19:22):
Like they don't even know enough to have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
College, I was in the student union.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
Debating, you know, like you're sitting there talking about it.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
The kids, well, think about this too. And it ties
in that we all would see the same TV shows,
we'd all see the same movies. Like we quote movie lines.
They don't callte movie lines because you watch Netflix. I
watched Hulu. She's on TikTok, he's on you know, Facebook.
We're all on different pages. Peacock, there you go, but
(19:54):
we all have difficulty relating because we're all on different agendas.
You know, it's easy.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Yeah, I'll tell you what's interesting. I'm not on any
dating websites, but I know people who are, and they
say that they do so much communicating on the text
messages that when they actually meet the person they really
have nothing to speak about it that they just say
it's yeah, it's not like hi, how are you you know?
Because that all happens right. Yeah, you know, I already
(20:21):
know you're divorced, you have five kids, you work for wherever.
They say that when they go on the date, it's
a very weird. It's very awkward because they have nothing
really to speak about.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Any Well, that goes back to what I said about
the kids that they can text, they have a great communication.
When you see them you're talking to them, they almost
like they get scared or something.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
They don't want to talk.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I was out, it was early, Jackie was a little weird.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Friendlies and thought it was so cute, like I saw
two high school kids look like a first date kind
of thing. They're both on their phone, and I felt
like bad, like, you know, that was an exciting time.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
As soon as they get shy, that's like a defense making.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, and it's it's crazy. And but on the bright
side for the to close out this because I want
to talk to you about your mission and everything that.
I think when we teach mann right, it doesn't have
to always, it doesn't have to be the stick. Right.
You get that look for your parents like you didn't properly,
(21:26):
you know, thank you please, or did something you know
you would like terrified, and then you got the guilt
like you wanted to be a good person. But I
think we should shift in when we're working with them
and teaching them and growing them. The joy of it, right,
how good you feel when someone said, what a polite boy?
And I believe that the kids are do have good
(21:49):
man in general, you know, please, thank you and that.
But I think it's more to continue to push the
good feeling you get right from being you know, like
and kind and consider it. And the accidental rudeness was
to bring awareness right that we have to be conscious
(22:09):
of not being rude by accident, you know, sitting on
the gym equipment looking on parenting too, you know, yeah,
we had a babysitter.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
The lady who was babysitting our kids used to always say,
there are no bad kids.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
There is there are bad parents parenting. And I can
see that.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
The it's how you raise the kids, how you're telling
them right.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
But I think part of that could be including the
joy of it. And like I said, I conclude because
now you know, being older, I will wait longer to
hold an elevator or open a door, or let someone
go in front of me in line because they're in
a hurry.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Like it makes you feel good.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
It makes you feel good, you know, it brought back
it reminded me of a story. But I was coaching
travel a lot of the parents that we used to
hang out with, they used to always come to me
and say, you know, when Danny comes up to me,
he saw me at the bottom of the bleachers. He
came all the way up, shook my hand hold. Mister Murphy,
he goes, that was amazing, and I'm going like, oh,
thank you, thank you very much. But then I'm thinking, like,
I coach your son for the last four years.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
He still doesn't say alone anymore.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
You know, how do you like?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
You know, you know that's a good point because I
saw him the other day and that is him, right,
and you saw that, yeah right? That was got my
knee checked down. And you know he still calls me
miss the lake. Yeah he jerk head, you know to this.
But he is a super polite kid. And he is
very formal in how polite he is, which is a
(23:42):
beautiful thing. It's a very good sign. And I like,
he's good. Oh my god, he's never.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
He's built like like Loudo, right, you would never know
so one. Every once in a while he'll do something
that shocks everybody. They're taking the three two of his
friends and they're taking a picture there in front of them,
and right people would have.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Taken a picture. It was like this shirt and they
didn't even know. They're like, whoa Ray? Yeah, his son,
his two sons were excellent soccer players. He coaches soccer now.
He coached them, a great coach. And uh, his son
is just a really good kid. But he's he wouldn't know,
but he's he's rock. He's rock. You would never know.
Speaker 9 (24:25):
You wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Bobby were going to a commercial.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Oh we weren't in a commercial that whole time.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
No, like we're twenty four minutes. I kept waiting for
a commercial.
Speaker 10 (24:41):
Then she started to choke on a piece of candy.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
She wasn't breathing.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Then Ray reached for the life back in it saved her.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
She could have easily died that day. A life back
saved her life. What I would say is, don't need
a life back and not have it. Have a life
back and hopefully never need it.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Recently, the American Red Cross has added anti joking devices
as an option when standard protocol fails is not feasible, go.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
To life back dot net called eight seven seven five
four three three eight two two.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
We're back we are back live with the man in
the arena. How was that perfect?
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (25:33):
It pretty good.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Actually, okay, come on, let's talk then now. Do you know, No,
she looks so familiar just so we never met post
She doesn't look.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Like no, I am not. I actually really have.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
No doubt my mind that I've been there.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Actually, yeah, I know what those bars?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
All right? What a tell us?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
What tell us a little bit? And connected with when.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
It's connected with what you just said? Actually, yeah, so
I started a non for profit.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Well wait, talk a little bit about your passion where
it comes from.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
How long have you been in Oh okay, well I've
worked in nursing home since I'm seventeen and I'm fifty four.
So that's like, it's like a minute, It's.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Like you, why do I got to look crappy?
Speaker 7 (26:26):
How come we look like you're not fifty four?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I'm six. I know he's you're like eighty, right, sixty sixty?
Speaker 7 (26:34):
So I started working in nursing homes. I started working
in nursing homes when I was seventeen and fell in
love literally fell in love with the elderly population for many,
many reasons. But over the years, what I what I
actually saw was kind of heartbreaking. A lot of people
don't get visitors.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Wait, wait, stop for one cool, what'd you fall in love?
Speaker 7 (26:56):
They're innocence Yeah yeah, well said in a sense, they're
really they really just want to They're not looking for anything, right,
They're just looking for a whole low point. They're not
looking for a new car. They're not looking for you
to buy them anything. They're just looking for you to
treat them with dignity and respect, and a smile goes
(27:16):
a long way for these people. It's it's completely amazing.
They want a good meal, they want to sleep well,
they want to feel safe, they want to have see
a doctor. Like, they're not asking for anything that you
wouldn't expect them to.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I think your first inkling is you know, they want
to smile, they want to talk, they want to wave,
just some want I used to like get in the story.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
You've had some characters.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
I've had lots of Carl, I've had lots of characters.
One of the things I actually wanted to do, which
I never was able to do, was to do a
study on touch therapy because they never really touched, right,
They're touched when they get washed they're touched when they
get put to bed, they touched when they get a shot,
they touched when they get medicine. But like, does any
body actually touched them? So I hug. I'm a big
(28:03):
hugger to them. I'm hugging them all day long. Parents,
my father, and my stepfather passed.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
My mom works. That's pretty good that hug.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
It does work. Actually.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
But here, let me tell you a quick story too,
and it's the humanity.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
So I was out. I think I told you this story,
but I didn't tell you.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
So I'm out in Uh it was in Delaware, I think,
doing something, and these two girls come out of the bar.
I could tell they were a little tipsy. Right to
my left is a whole row of homeless people, right,
so I said, all right, and I'm just gonna They
were walking by the almost people to go to their hotel.
I could tell they were at a business meeting. So
I said, I'll just watch them, you know, make sure
(28:43):
to get through so they get.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
A little further. So I actually kind of walk out.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I'm in the middle of the homeless people and I
was just watching. I could see they were about to
make and I'm standing next to the guy and I
light a cigarette, might go you want one, and you
would think I oftened ten million dollars for that same reason.
He said, No one treats us like we're regular people.
Like he got teary eyed because they said you want one?
(29:07):
Like I was just talking to him, and then I
hung out and talked to him for a while. But
it goes back to this unanticipated accidental rudeness that we
are rude to these people, right, we don't mean to be.
And but it just hit me so powerfully that how
much he appreciated being treated human.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Right, Yeah, so that just I can relate.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
It's the same thing is that you know, that's what
they want. They just they they crave affection, attention, just
be treated, to be treated like human beings. Have a
nice meal, you know, nothing that nothing. They're not asking for,
you know, lobster and steak. They're asking for a meal
that's hot when it's supposed to be hot, cold when
it's supposed to be cold.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, when you're all your sphetty people they have we
want to go, we haven't.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Okay, so bring us into So I just.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Kept going out. So going throughout the years, I noticed
that they were lacking a lot of compassion from the staff,
that they weren't treated with dignity or respect, especially if
they have something like diagnosis like maybe dementia, right, because
then people don't and some of them act out, some
of them are combative, some of them are verbally abusive,
(30:23):
and they don't mean to be. They have something wrong
with their brain, right, or someone had.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Did you ever watch the videos from Tepe show No
tip a show. I went and I saw her do
a presentation in Florida, and she's like a world leader
in more of the the sociocological, psychological challenges of dealing
with someone going into dementia, and it really it was amazing,
(30:47):
and I highly recommend anyone who has to deal with
that really tough situation. But a lot of it had
to do with stuff you're like, oh my god, like
if you go to change them right and you go
right at of course they're going to be afraid, you know,
and all sorts of techniques that you would not kind
of pick up right or getting mad. I told you,
(31:09):
I don't know, so stop.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Sit down, sit down, sit down. Nothing bothers me more
when I hear somebody saying to a patient who has
dementis who is suffering from dementia. Sit down, They're not
a dog. They're not a dog.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
You remind me you would get along with my wife.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
So so good. It's a special lit teacher.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
Her mom is ninety seven and she's there almost every day.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Well you have to be yeah, And and I.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
Thought it was just her mother, but she just like that,
like you can see the respect.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Well, how about remember when we had our class come
to the treehouse. Yeah, so she got in troubles me.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
For that or something I did at your house that
you built.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
So she taught special needs and she brought them to
the tree talk to.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
My wife into bringing her.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
They have to do they climb up? Hell?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I thought it was cool and.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
My wife went for it because these kids are stuck
in the classroom.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It's awesome.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
So so we did this thing. And so she sets
it up and has them like the drawings and the
right She prepared what would your dream treoss be? And
they had to draw it and they all brought their
drawings and then I set up some tools and showed
them out build it. We had blankets on the floor
and then I took them up the ladder into the treehouse.
(32:31):
I'm sorry, by my wife.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I'm on the phone calling our insurance company.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I'll be I thought it was good, but he is
something cool too, funny?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
What was funny? Kid with the piano.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
So in my treoss, on my little Treoss desk, I
had a piano stool as like the return right, because
it was cool. You could put stuff in it and
see the maps. And so the kid comes open and
he goes, he goes, that's a piano stool. I go, yeah, man,
I said, that's pretty good way to go. He goes,
You're gonna put a piano up here?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
And I was like, I don't think so, Levy.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
You thought about it, well for a.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Second, it could be cool, But the real gift of
that and I guess why I historically, you know, do
things that could get in trouble. Was one of the kids.
She told me. He couldn't really handle anything like heightwise,
like going over the slide right, and he was very introverted.
(33:31):
I didn't know, so I'm like, let's go, dude. He
climbs up the ladder and this was that treos was
about thirteen feet to the floor. This is a kid
that couldn't go over the slide.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
How did he get down? What I want?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I went on the side of him as they climbed
the ladder, and I climbed him back down.
Speaker 8 (33:49):
But she said, after I found that, I thought they
was just gonna go look at it.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I didn't know they were going to go up.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
One day, one took them all up at it. The
bus showed up my house.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
But I guess it was we are what do you think, Well, that's.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
When me and are together.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
That's like me and you together, but different kind of
stupid stuff happens. But the point he loves those kids. Yeah,
that's that's what he's That's to think she had the
courage to do something. But the point of that is
you have the courage the kid out of breakthrough, you know,
so you have to have courage in these situations to
(34:27):
some extent. All right, guys, back to you and whatever
we're talking about.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
I know, I was just saying that I was doing
it for so long, and I noticed the need that
these people needed more love and care. And then the
patients that are long term sadly do not get many visitors.
So in my nursing home right now, we have three
hundred and twenty residents. The short term rehab patients, people
are in and out all day. The long term residence,
(34:54):
there's a handful of people who get visitors every day,
and then there's the rest of them that are literally
just themselves all the time.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
And do you see that?
Speaker 8 (35:02):
And to mean that like they wish they had someone
would come to see you.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
See how they act out, you see how they you know,
for attention. It's very sad. So a couple of years back,
I try to develop a company which failed miserably. Yeah, yeah,
it was great, it was fantastic. I think I'm still
paying for it. What kind of company where you are?
Where people would paying me to advocate for their loved ones.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
He had a carpet cloud.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
That's excellent. Well, that's a great idea.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
It was a great idea, except I didn't know how
to execute it.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Did your car company that still has potential?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Yeah, that still has potential.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
She's evolved, and it would just look at the good
that you do for these people. I don't have anybody
for weeks and months, and then all of a sudden
you go into someone shows up every day or twice
a week.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
So well, so I did a little bit. I didn't
really do that though. I didn't really do that. What
I did was the family would hire me family, and
then what I would do is I would go to
their care plan meetings. I would advocate for them. Did
they get a shower? Did are they clean?
Speaker 8 (36:06):
We could go off a branch off of that and
we would also visit them.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
Yes, because that is something. Oh, we talk after because
I have so many ideas.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
You don't want to talk.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
Okay, maybe not finance the whole thing. Second, yes, I
heard that, and thank you Arthur.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
I walk out with the car.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
But so wait, but you're you started nursing on warriors
as that. Yeah, but that's how we got to know
each other. Because choking is so dangerous and you are
a light back fanatic. I appreciate because you're in that
environment because you know, when you get older, particularly any
kind of dementia, MS, Parkingzheims, all these things affect your
(36:51):
ability to show. We saved two people in the Bristols
this month, fantastic, one in the I think North Point
and one in ourmak because we're finally get in there.
In the UK, we've saved thousands of people in elder
care because you know, you get old, your muscles are weaker,
and you choke more often.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
You also just to throw it out there just so
you know, a lot of times people eat in their
beds right, and so they're not even positioned correctly. Thereating
like like, I'll walk into a room. I'm a clinical dietician.
I'll walk into a room to watch somebody eat and
they're like this. I'm like, I don't understand how you
can eat like that. You know, they need to be
positioned straight, they need to have the up. So there's
(37:32):
a lot even if you are not you don't have
any of those neurological defects, it's still very easy for
you to choke because you're not positioned correctly.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
In general, no matter what, it's simple, we have twenty
two muscles to swallow. They get weaker too, right, so
you get weaker, your muscles get weaker. But you know,
and it goes back to the rig kid type thing too.
You know, you see it all the time that eldercare
didn't do this, the elder can didn't do that. Well,
mistakes happened, and like you said, the perfectly healthy person
(38:04):
can choke too. So we have to once again take
back that self responsibility to get these in elder care
life backs in there. They're not blame the care plan,
the thing that did food. They didn't get the right thing.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
It's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (38:18):
It's gonna happen even if everything is perfect. So I'm
gonna explain to you just so you understand what happens
when somebody chokes in a nursing home.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Why she explains to you.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Because I feel connected to him. It's the fact that
he wants to take your money to start.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Oh God, I'll figure, I'll figure something.
Speaker 7 (38:41):
So let's say you're the resident that let's say Resident
A is choking and they're all the way at the
end of the hallway. Now, if they're eating in their room,
nobody's standing there watching them. So what's supposed to happen
is a nurse's aid or nurse supposed to be walking
the hallways, looking inside the rooms and making sure that
nobody's choking. Okay, So let's say they get to that
room and that person's already choking. Now they have to
(39:04):
go all the way back to the nursing station, call
a code. Then they have to go find the suction machine.
The suction machine is as you know you're pushing the item.
You might push the item for you have toia rabbit,
run down the hallway with it, plug it in, make
sure that all the parts are actually there right, and
(39:25):
if you know, and then you try to suction by
then I mean I've lost I know of two residents
that have died because that was not successful. So it
is each one. I don't even think they need to
be true. I think every whole nursing, every nursing station,
every crash, that's it, every nursing, every place where people eat.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
I see you put her on Life Act kill you.
So she's an advocate for life back because she's seen it.
But I want you to talk about what you do
like and I hate to do that because that's important.
But I think what you're doing in the accidal room
this chapter is this unanticipated issue that you're dressing and
(40:04):
and really, I mean it's amazing what you're doing, particularly
because you work a lot and you got George and
now you're gonna deal with in. But are you doing.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
So tell us talk about your collection.
Speaker 7 (40:19):
I mean, so there's this one resident. His name is Carl,
and he just has my heart. Yeah, he has my
heart one hundred percent. And I was noticing that car
always always wearing the same same clothing, and if you
really look at it, residents wearing the same Yes, I
don't know about that.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
But how often you wear it's just probably the second time,
No way today. You know you always interrupt her? Please,
I know, right, thank you.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
So commercial, So residents and nursing homes usually wear the
same three outfits week after week, year after year, on
and on and on. They also, Christmas comes and they
don't get a gift. Father's Day, Mother's Day come, they
don't get a gift. Their Birthday comes, they don't get
a gift. And they don't have much opportunity to buy
(41:13):
new clothes either, because they're not going to the store,
and medicaid doesn't give them enough money to buy anything
after they spend you know, two dollars a day at
the vending machine, so there's no money, there's no opportunity.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Plus two, they're not really internet savvy, so they're not
going on Amazon.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
There's no way. They have no way to get clothing.
They really don't.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
That's such a big meat.
Speaker 7 (41:33):
I decided that Karl needed to be dressed well. So
I started this charity called Nursing Home Warrior, where we
get donations from the community and whether it's money or clothing,
and we pack boxes. Me yea, Me and George. Actually
Polly helps me, but he's more like the He carries
(41:56):
the boxes for me. But we pack boxes of clothing
and we give them to no homes and we so
far we've given about six thousand pieces of clothing out.
Clothing out, yeah, about one hundred.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
I was standing to my neighbor today. It's funny, I said,
if I had, if I was worth five hundred billion dollars,
or even you are. The argument was, what can you
do if you're a You'll have two billion or you
have five hundred billion. To me, whatever you can have
with two hundred with two billion, you can have it.
(42:28):
So the reason I.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Brought this up is because we were talking about yeah right, No, we.
Speaker 8 (42:32):
Went into like someone like Elon Right, he's has all
these companies and now he's in politics. I said, you know,
if I was him, I had five hundred worth five
hundred billion, I wake up in the morning, I swear
that's what I would I would be like, who can
I help today without them knowing it's me something like this.
How much the interest of my money could cover the.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Entire country on that get out of here?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Maybe billions, But here's no no, you have the money.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
But what she did, that's what she did.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Tell me, tell us about was it last weekend? You
went to all those places?
Speaker 1 (43:06):
This is her.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (43:10):
I packed the clothes up, I packed them into boxes,
and then I deliver them to the nursing homes around
you know. I've gone to Brooklyn, Queens.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
This was one day last week.
Speaker 7 (43:19):
Last week was just Queen Queen's. But I've gone to Philadelphia,
I've gone to New Jersey. I've gone to Louisbourg, Pennsylvania
to drop these boxes off, you know, because a lot
of these people don't have anything. But back to the
book for a second. It's interesting because I get more
out of it than I'm sure they do.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
That's what I.
Speaker 7 (43:43):
Feel good like. It makes me feel good. So I
had this conversation. I happen to be with my my
son's father. We were driving to see my my son
a couple of weeks ago together and we were in
the car for like five hours together. I'm surprised he
didn't kill me, but besides me too. Yeah, I'm very
surprised he didn't.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Even you know, it just feels good when you give.
I don't know some people doesn't. To me, it does.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
No, that's the whole the longer field.
Speaker 7 (44:08):
So we're in the car and we're talking. We're talking
a lot, and he's trying to he's explaining things to me,
like I played chess. I need I played checkers. I
need to learn how to play chess, play the long game, Danielle.
We're going on and on and on, and then if
something came up about the charity and he said, well,
you're not making any money from this, I said, I'm
actually making it. If anything, I'm losing money every day.
I said, I really have no money, and I'm making
(44:30):
it worse for myself. Yes, I have no I have
no money, and I am every day I'm spending more
money I don't have. So he said to very good.
So he said to me, you know, you've got to
start thinking. You have to start playing chess, like forget
about the doing stuff for free, and you need to
(44:51):
start making money today because you need to pay your rent.
And I get it. And he's right, because at the
end of the day, I do need to feed myself,
but nothing feels better to me than, you know, eating
pasta with butter.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
If I have to, You're supposed to make that freaking
me off.
Speaker 7 (45:09):
Nothing makes you feel better than eating pasta with butter
and knowing that I'm delivering to nursing home. Okay, this
is a woman.
Speaker 3 (45:17):
Yeah, the the woman in.
Speaker 7 (45:23):
Yeah, we're out, no audio?
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Wow? How you doing?
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Oh? God will be back.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
I think it.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Did you step on a wire or something? Take your
foot off the wire?
Speaker 2 (45:46):
George? Did you do something? Hi?
Speaker 4 (45:49):
George?
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Get away?
Speaker 3 (45:51):
George looks finish the show.
Speaker 7 (45:55):
So the point, So thank you so much Arthur for
starting out.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Hey, this is the point.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
So you know, I see you put up pictures of
all these boxes in the car and the over half.
Speaker 7 (46:13):
It's terrible. It's actually terrible.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Here's what you know, wish more people listening and watching.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Unanticipated Need has a soulful background, meaning it's not just
the shirt. It's not cared enough to give them a shirt, right,
It's that feeling of putting a new outfit on.
Speaker 8 (46:30):
Right.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
We talked about that one day.
Speaker 7 (46:32):
I mean, I love when I go to the store
and I buy something new and I put it on.
It makes me feel happier and not about you, though.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Don't go to the store. I'm buying outfits.
Speaker 7 (46:46):
But you know these people don't get that. So actually,
you and I discussed this last time I was on
your show. When I get a lot more items, which
I need a whole bunch of donations, So if anyone
wants to donate, please reach out and I will be
more than happy to pick them up. I want to

Let's just thank you for coming. I love you. You
are amazing. I think give it.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
Make sure it's a very clear plug for the eight
people that are listening and watching. Explain where how do
they get in touch with nursing on more?
Speaker 7 (48:07):
You could, Well, they could follow me on Facebook, but
they should probably spell out my name so that they
could follow me. You want me to spell my name? Yeah,
it's Daniel d A n I E L L E
taglatos p A g o U l A t O
(48:27):
S leave line l I E B l E I
and it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
It's can't we go to nursing home Warriors?
Speaker 7 (48:35):
Well, I think if you put that in Facebook I
might pop up. I'm not positive because it's not They
have to.
Speaker 2 (48:42):
They have to take a step back in the promotion process.
Speaker 3 (48:46):
Come little easier.
Speaker 7 (48:48):
Well, I'm trying to build a website, but I don't
have them.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
But I say nursing, thank you so much for that.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
Again, I appreciate nursings. Uh reach out and donate.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
Any donate close but time help anything that I think
the key to wrap the key to wrapping up accillal
rudeness is everything we talked about has a spiritual social content.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Right.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
They feel better getting closed, right, We feel better if
we're polite. We feel better if we do something for
other people. We feel better if we're kind, So be
selfish and help someone else. It's perfect right, yes, And
we have no idea if we've.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
Been on, so we're just gonna sign off like we were.
Speaker 9 (49:40):
On sing along if you know the words, but do
do do do do Do's no joke.
Speaker 12 (49:52):
When you choked, life back and without breath, they'll be
deathcad life back and bad life back and.
Speaker 9 (50:03):
God's life back, My life back, life back and live.

Yeah, buddy, go all right?
Speaker 6 (50:26):
Why am I mister three thousand?
Speaker 8 (50:28):
Well?
Speaker 6 (50:28):
On October twentieth, my three year old daughter choked and
I used the life back to save her life. She
was the three thousand person saved with the life back.
Reported safe. Because we're well over that. Where are we at?
You know what Bobby roll that footage, Bobby, he's Betty,
you'd be.
Speaker 7 (50:58):
All right.
Speaker 6 (51:00):
And I'm better know that number was wrong, and I
love when the number is wrong because I have the
right number. Thanks to you, Donna, the accurate number saves
to date three thousand, seven hundred and eighty five saves.
That is two thousand, three hundred sixty four children to date,
(51:22):
well and one hundred and fifty eight days since my
little Girl. Since number three thousand, we have saved seven
hundred and eighty five people in one hundred and fifty
eight days.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Insane, insane, insane. Now, since the show is just out
of control, the h and you're here and I like you.
We you know, we brought on tomorrow's Chokey Witness Day,
which is yees it is. I'm pretty sure we made
up about ten years ago and just pretended it was
(51:53):
day and it's actual day now and it is awareness
to five thousand people that still choked to death, and
then we combat. I will be on Joe Piscolo's radio
show in the morning, I'll be on Brian Kilmea's radio show,
and then I'll be on Newsmax in the afternoon. But
the big news is working with doctor Ben Carson, you know,
(52:15):
and you know it's unbelievable how nasty politically people can be.
But the thing about him, man, he is a humble, kind,
gentle genius and very soulful his faith in God, and
he wants to help.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
He wants to help us.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
And I had the honor hanging out with him all day,
which is a little intermed. You know, he's he's a neurosurgeon.
I was a truck driver, so we had a little
challenge connected in the beginning. Hey, you ever been on
a bull boy?
Speaker 2 (52:48):
By the day, no, I was operating on someone's brain.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
But what a humble, kind gentleman. And uh, it's just
an honor to have him on board to help us
and raise the mission, mostly because of his soul all
the stuff we're talking about. You know, when someone has
it in them, you know, when you care and you
do something, then you feel it. And he's one of
them guys.
Speaker 6 (53:12):
So I just want to you know, speaking of Ben Carson,
he would he would be so amazed at the status
of this week. I mean this week alone, forty eight
people this week were saved by life. That Monday alone, Monday,
we had a record seventeen people in one day. On Monday,
Safe reported.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
Stay now you know what, you know what hit me
in in my heart and I just got a chill
again too.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
About sixteen people they choked to death every day beginning
of time seventeen. Now some of them called, you know,
if they saved someone a week ago or just got
around to it. But it hit me that after thirteen years,
if you took that number correctly, the first day in
the history of mankind, no one choked at death.
Speaker 6 (54:02):
Nobody choked.
Speaker 3 (54:04):
It is just mind blowing, and it's important for the
world to know, not to eight people watching us, that
you can do it. You can change the world. And
if we can eliminate a leading cause accent of death,
you know, come on, let's go. We can do all
these things. But God give me.
Speaker 6 (54:23):
Speaking of the leading calls of death, let's go into
the highlight of the week, shall we. Yeah, highlight of
the week it is a one year old little boy
who choked on some watermelon. Here's the mom's story. My
son was sitting in the high chair eating watermelon. Suddenly
his eyes began to bowls and he opened his mouth
and no sound came out. His eyes got watery, and
(54:45):
he looked like he was trying to gasp for air.
I started the panic. I told my husband to grab
the life back, but I took my baby out of
the chair, turned him around and began back clows. Nothing
was coming out, so I laid him down and pumped
the life back once. Immediately my son started to cry
(55:05):
and the piece of watermelon came out. And that is
the highlight of the week.
Speaker 2 (55:10):
Hey, dude, when you read.
Speaker 3 (55:12):
Those does that that's got to hit you because you
were there, Yeah, right there, you know, yeah, I know,
he's unbelievable. He's so great, and you know that those
stories really bring it to reality, you.
Speaker 6 (55:26):
Know, absolutely and absolutely all.
Speaker 3 (55:28):
So grateful that they had it and that little guy's okay.
And I'm always very grateful for you that you take
the time out to come on and help raise awareness
and save more lives. And I always say that you
know you are missed the three thousand and there was
a god reason that you are so thank.
Speaker 6 (55:49):
You absolutely absolutely and again you know, but by far
as a parent, you never want any parent to go
through that situation. But if you do have a life back,
you're gonna need it, trust.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
Me, all right, brother, Hey.
Speaker 6 (56:04):
On that note, I'm gonna give my closing statement here,
life back, have it and don't need it. Don't need
it and not have it. The life you save could
be your own.
Speaker 3 (56:14):
That's awesome. Gat Hey, thank you really?
Speaker 2 (56:19):
Oh blah, all right, well thank you. So that's our show.
Speaker 3 (56:26):
Thank you you guys don't know.
Speaker 7 (56:29):
Who may still be honest.
Speaker 3 (56:32):
We talked about fact intern that's going crazy?
Speaker 2 (56:40):
Are we are? We off? Oh?
Speaker 3 (56:43):
We get to say goodbye my friend. Thank you all
for watching the Man Marina. Thank you to my guests,
and they be kind change the world.
Speaker 9 (56:53):
Oh by and sing along if you know the words,
but do do joke when you choke.
Speaker 12 (57:01):
Togad lie back and live without breath, they'll be deaf.
Togad life back and ly Gad life back and
Speaker 9 (57:12):
Gad's life lie back, life back and live life back
and leave
Now on iHeartRadio, the Man in the Arena, the Life
Back Radio Show where we explore incredible stories of courage,
resilience and life saving moments. Here's your hosts, founder, inventor
and CEO of Life Back, Arthur Lee and Life Back
Advocate and President of Sales, Rick Thatcher.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We'll be Rick Fatcher, so a little different show.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I have my friend Courage here will be my co host,
and I have Danielle in the studio. But the gist
of today is revolving around chapter twenty my book, Manners
Cop and the Rise of Accidental Rudeness. Now we're not
going to delve into it as much because we have
such incredible guests, and I have one that's on a
tight time frame, and her name is Betsy McCoy, former
(00:59):
Lieutenant governor New York and she's an author, she's a
TV personality, But more important than all that, she is
one amazing human being. I find that if I am
in her presence, I walk away feeling better. But in
the lines of The Manners Cop and the Rise of
Accidental Rudeness, when we met her mission has to do
(01:24):
with infectious diseases and infection in hospitals and it's such
an underlying unknown tragedy, and so is choking right one person,
one child every five days, five thousand a year, fourth
leading cause accental death. So along those lines of the
one of the awareness that these challenging and deadly things exist.
(01:50):
But more importantly about Betsy is she's just an amazing
person and tackling something that is not prevalent. We don't
know enough about out it and the man in the
arena is about being in the battle and fighting these
battles that no one knows about. And yeah, you know,
the good thing about it is there is failure involved,
(02:10):
but it's also about keep going. So because she's.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Unlimited time, I'll bring her in right away. Betsy, you
there hero.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
When he says nicely, I feel wonderful.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Well, because you know, I wish, I wish I could
bottle the feeling that you radiate and your enthusiasm for
such a cause that is so unknown, and I I
you just amazed me. She really like glows, you know,
like you've been around someone and like you walk away
you feel better like you. I appreciate that you're a
(02:49):
lot like that. It's always nice to be around people.
So Betsy, give us a give us the scoop.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Well, the scoop is I'm so glad to be on
the show because whenever I have a microphone, there's one
thing I want to do with it. I want to
alert everyone listening to the problem of hospital infections and
tell them that we can help protect them. We don't
usually have a choice when we're going to go into
the hospital. It's not voluntary, like going out to dinner.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
And yet.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
I am a little exasperated. For example, New York City
inspects restaurants for cleanliness, but not hospitals. Can you imagine
you can go home and make your own dinner in hospitals?
This problem of cleanliness, lack of cleanliness is killing so
many people. In fact, over one hundred thousand people a
(03:45):
year die from hospital infections. One hundred thousand a year
or there just in our alone.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well, when you told me that, and you know, we
had that connection of fighting these unknown battles, the man
and the woman in the arena, of these things that
we're not aware of, you know, And the thought was
that we had similar missions. Right, awareness is the first key,
because who knew one hundred thousand people? But you know,
(04:12):
being the woman in the arena. You didn't just sit
back and wait for hospitals get clean. You did something
about it. And you know you can get the rig
kit at lightbeck dot net. And we will persevere to
get the insurance industry involved because money makes the world move.
But who cares it will help us save lives? But
tell us about the rig kit.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Well, the rig kit is a It's an item that
everyone should have in their bedside table or in the
closet right near their front door when they realize they
have to go to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
This is what you need to take.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
And it includes in it the tools so that you
can protect yourself from a hospital infection. I'll give you
just three examples. If I asked you, what is the
number one predictor of who gets a hospital infection?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Is that their age? Now? Is it the sickness that
brought them into the hospital. Now?
Speaker 5 (05:07):
The number one predictor of which patients get a hospital
infection is what which room they're placed in.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Amazing, and they're assigned to.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
If they're put in the room and a preceding patient
had an infection in that room, they're going to get
it because that preceding patient was discharged and said home,
but his germs were left behind on the bedrail, the
call button, the TV controls, the privacy curtain.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Can you imagine that is the number one.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Cause firms left behind when the previous patient is sent home.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, but you The genius to the rig kit is
that we can be self reliant. Right if we're going
if we have someone on a love warning, we're going in.
We can get a rig kit and it has the instructions,
that has the antibiotics, it has the slippers. It easy.
You can't prevent this from half.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
For example, one of the items in the kid is
a good supply of these bleach wipes.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
So that you were a loved one can.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Clean those high touch surfaces right around the bed every day.
And we have the research to show that just using
that one item the reduces the risk of the most
numerous hospital infection seediff by eighty six percent.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Can you imagine eighty.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Six thousand people a years lives could be saved. Now,
we save lives, not eighty six thousand a year. Maybe someday,
but really what's frustrating is getting this message out there.
Right who knew? Did you know? No?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You don'd like to say that to me.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Who knew? Do you? Who knew?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Let's take another example, Arthur.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Well, who knew? Do that? Who knew?
Speaker 6 (06:54):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
See that's how he does.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Who knew?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Now, let's take another example.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
In the is a small bottle of something called chlora hexident.
Almost all surgeons, including orthopedic surgeons, will tell you if
you're going into the hospital for neat replacement a hip
replacement heart surgery, you should start bathing with this so
three days before you go to the hospital. It removes
(07:20):
the dangerous bacteria you could have on your own skin.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
That would migrate the surgical decision and cause a nasty infection.
So there it is a kit.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You know, I thought of you the other day my
uh my sisters and brother in law's brother in law
when in his wife went in that back surgery, came
out no problem. He went in, he got an infection
and he was in for like two months.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, I know, but wait, he's okay, But it's a
god wing to kick me in the butt to re
energize my battle on this. And you know, maybe he's
got winked at someone in the insurance listening because It
would be so simple that your insurance got that you
were going in for an operation, they sent you a
(08:12):
rig kit because you know, our mission is saving lives,
same with you know, life back. Now you're gonna get
sued for not having it. But we don't want that.
We want the people to be okay. We want them
to you know, not get an infection exactly.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
And insurance companies should want this too.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Because it's a very powerful message to their customers that
they care.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
And secondly, it will reduce costs.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Tons of costs. I mean he was in for an
addition like like three weeks. I mean that's tremendous amount
of money. But if the evil money drives the solution, fine,
let's use that, right.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
So I have to also come to hospital infection dot
org our website Hospital Infection or and get lots of
information and they can also order the kit and then
they're taken back to your website. It's really cozy, Arthur.
My website is connected to your website.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Oh I like that. Hey baby, let's connect on our website.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No, but I you know, and that's probably a little
godwink in itself that we both have these missions that
are you know, the unknown. Right when you say your
number and I say my number of people, go what really?
Five thousand people choke? That fourth leading clothes accidental death
and you say one hundred thousand people die from a
(09:40):
hospital infection. And what's really frustrating in both cases? And
I'll tell a story about light back later. But doesn't
have to happen, right, not rocket science, get the rig kit,
clean yourself, wipe yourself down, wipe down the surfaces.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You've got a kid, get a light back, don't let
them choke to death. Let's get it.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
The schools we have similar missions of these unknown huge killers.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Well, I want to say, as i'm later in, it
was a lucky day when I met Arthur.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
I met him in the new Smack screen room.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Well wasn't that right before your grandchild? Right, that's right?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
And he was showing everyone his uh, his choking device,
choking prevention device. And I went up to him. I thought,
I'm going to talk to that good lucking guy. And
I said, woman, I said, can.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
You take my kid too?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And he said absolutely, Well, because we're kidney spirits and
we're fighting these unknown dragons. And you know, I know
I don't have to say it, but you will keep
fighting and I will keep fighting, and I know you
have limit of time. I appreciate you coming on. I
get to see you for once tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yes, looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, me too, and we'll we'll re energize and reattack.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Okay, bye bye, Like.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
I mean, it wasn't spoken about. But also it would
be amazing in a nursing home because although we do
have obviously protocols and policies to follow when we're cleaning
or you know, doing a terminal cleaning, when somebody changes rooms,
things get messed. I mean that's just things just get messed.
So it would be nice if you had a loved
one in a nursing home and you had the kids
(11:23):
new to wipe down certain things. It would be great.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well to me, we we can't rely on others, I said, can't.
I'm not supposed to do that. That's a lot, that's
a lite. But we should not rely on others. Our
world has become pointing fingers. We need to be more
self responsible. Right now, You're going to go in the
hospital and get an affection, meet there for three months
(11:48):
and then say that hospital isn't clean.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Okay, Well, don't what good is that?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
You know? Oh, you know we didn't have a life
back So okay, the kids dead, So we need to
read amphasize our own personal responsibility, you know. And with
the rig kid, it's you know, I just have to
get in front of the right people. And you know,
you get your you're going in for an operation. You
(12:13):
get a rig kit comes out of Amazon, it comes
at us and as soon as you get that notice
you're going in, it shows up at your house. One
hundred thousand people. Great, you ever going to the hospital.
Oh yeah, mental, No, no, not just regular kind of stuff.
I had a problem with my heart. Oh really, it's
(12:36):
nice telling you all right, So Kurage on the show.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
People people who say like that me you now they say,
oh he's such a fun interesting guy.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
They don't know you. Yeah, you were really interesting, really
going to those stories your comic relief.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Here you read my book.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
But we have a little bit let's see what are
we at?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Cool, So in the chapter and we're going to talk
about you.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But did you read it just that?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Okay? Good. So Manner's Cop and the Rise of accidental rudeness, right, so,
and how it ties into what we're talking about was
I was in the I was at an airport and
I was in line. I went in the bathroom and
they came out and there was men and women on
different sides right, and there was a lady in the middle,
just standing in the middle on her phone. I'm like,
(13:29):
that's pretty rude, you know, trying to get by and
standing in the middle of the thing. Then it hit
me she was on her phone and didn't realize that
the line had grown. So when she first was on
her phone, no one was there. It was no big deal.
You walk around there and I said, oh my goodness,
we're developing accidental rudeness from our phones alone. And you know,
(13:51):
you're you're at the gym, you got your music on,
and you know, you don't realize someone's waiting for the machine.
And it ties into we don't realize that one hundred
thousand people die from affects in a hospital. We don't
realize that seven kids have died in school from choking.
So I think, and it's going to go into what
(14:11):
you dealt with and your mission to get kid other
people close and advocacy that these underlying battles exist and
the technology created that woman's drudness and these subtle things
like there was no answer to choking, right, so kids
(14:32):
would choke.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
To death in school and they say, oh, well, you
know we did die.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I'm like, what are you going to do? And in
the elder care world, more and more people are going
into them. You know, my grandparents' allme, my parents home.
Now we have a world that's running so fast and
they're getting shoveled off. I don't mean that. I know
it's a challenge and it's appropriate, but we have created issues.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
We can do better.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
We can do better, we can do better.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
There's definitely for improvement.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, so that's the kind of the tie in that
it's almost being more conscious. You know what I'm saying.
You do cards like with the kids, right, you coach
kids and you're a high school coach.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Do you do you see them not as connected because
of the phone? Absolutely? Right? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
I mean you can have the best conversations texting, and
once you see the kid and you're looking at each other,
it's gone. They can't even look at you in the eye.
I'm not that they're disrespectful or anything, they just don't
have the skills is not developed.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
But that's almost part of the accidental rudeness, like the
guy's quieter, he doesn't listen.
Speaker 8 (15:42):
And you know, going back to the lady you were
talking about on the phone, you could say she was rude.
But some people are just don't realize the ignorant. It's
not like they're trying to be rude, they just don't
think that way, which I always thought like was crazy that,
like how do you not FI get us out?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
How did you learn manners? Do you have any manners?
Speaker 8 (16:05):
Most of it was I tried no, you know, I
guess it was when I when I saw someone with
bad manners, I used to get embarrassed. Shame, shame, you
don't you're good? Point, and then I would try. I
would make sure it was a big thing to me.
I mean that's how I was raised, and and you
make sure that you just don't do it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
In the book I go into you know, my Jackie
used to call me the manners cop, you know, because
I would be like that was a non negotiable, you know.
And but what I think and what we have to
understand and realize when we're teaching those lessons. It's fun
being polite. It is cool, you know, like holding the door.
(16:47):
I am the chapter with I'll hold the door a
little longer now, like I'll see someone across the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I'll wait.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I'm like, I got it.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I'd rather just wait. It's fun I get to open
the door.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Oh my god, that was so nice to you.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I had a funny one the other day.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I was in Florida and the ladies rooms like on
the side, and the men's room is facing out, so
like a hallway with one door on the side, so
if you're walking down it, you see a door. But
that was the men's room. Lady's room was against the wall.
I didn't notice or see that. So I see a
lady coming down. I went to hold the door for
(17:22):
I'm like, oh wait a second. And we both had
a good laugh because I was like my manner's cop break.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I'm like, I'll hold the door. Oh wait, You're not
going in there, are you.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
But I think there's a joy to be in polite,
you know, and so you know me and you sometimes
you could lead to funny stuff. Have you had a
good funny man in this moment you can think of
you usually have a good story and stuff like this.
I just did. That's the way, Siri, give me your
(17:59):
your manner.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
How to learn them?
Speaker 7 (18:01):
How did I learn them?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Do you have them?
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I have?
Speaker 7 (18:04):
I think I have them. I can't be positive. Some
say that I might not at times. I don't have
a filter. I'm not really sure if that's a manner.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So I was thinking about that.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
I was thinking about that with you, because you have
fantastic man it's an amazing soul. But you do have
no filter. But it's not usually being rude, it's being daniellel.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
I have to really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, oh my god, one might clock here. Okay, we
got it. We didn't take quick break, Bobby and uh.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Commercial, I'm not really good at this. Rick's good. You
should do it. Take us away to something if I
have time to prepare. You told me come down me
and you're talking on the radio show. I had no idea.
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Id that in a while.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
I was like, let me go, let me go see you.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
You know you were talking about kids.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I was talking to somebody yesterday.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
I find with kids in their twenties and thirties, the
difference between our generation and them, it's like they're not
that opinionating.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
They don't have any opinions. No, you know, I say
to my son, now, what do you think about abortion?
Are you for? Are you against it? For example? You
know what you know?
Speaker 8 (19:22):
Like they don't even know enough to have an opinion.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
College, I was in the student union.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
Debating, you know, like you're sitting there talking about it.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
The kids, well, think about this too. And it ties
in that we all would see the same TV shows,
we'd all see the same movies. Like we quote movie lines.
They don't callte movie lines because you watch Netflix. I
watched Hulu. She's on TikTok, he's on you know, Facebook.
We're all on different pages. Peacock, there you go, but
(19:54):
we all have difficulty relating because we're all on different agendas.
You know, it's easy.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
Yeah, I'll tell you what's interesting. I'm not on any
dating websites, but I know people who are, and they
say that they do so much communicating on the text
messages that when they actually meet the person they really
have nothing to speak about it that they just say
it's yeah, it's not like hi, how are you you know?
Because that all happens right. Yeah, you know, I already
(20:21):
know you're divorced, you have five kids, you work for wherever.
They say that when they go on the date, it's
a very weird. It's very awkward because they have nothing
really to speak about.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Any Well, that goes back to what I said about
the kids that they can text, they have a great communication.
When you see them you're talking to them, they almost
like they get scared or something.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
They don't want to talk.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I was out, it was early, Jackie was a little weird.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Friendlies and thought it was so cute, like I saw
two high school kids look like a first date kind
of thing. They're both on their phone, and I felt
like bad, like, you know, that was an exciting time.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
As soon as they get shy, that's like a defense making.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, and it's it's crazy. And but on the bright
side for the to close out this because I want
to talk to you about your mission and everything that.
I think when we teach mann right, it doesn't have
to always, it doesn't have to be the stick. Right.
You get that look for your parents like you didn't properly,
(21:26):
you know, thank you please, or did something you know
you would like terrified, and then you got the guilt
like you wanted to be a good person. But I
think we should shift in when we're working with them
and teaching them and growing them. The joy of it, right,
how good you feel when someone said, what a polite boy?
And I believe that the kids are do have good
(21:49):
man in general, you know, please, thank you and that.
But I think it's more to continue to push the
good feeling you get right from being you know, like
and kind and consider it. And the accidental rudeness was
to bring awareness right that we have to be conscious
(22:09):
of not being rude by accident, you know, sitting on
the gym equipment looking on parenting too, you know, yeah,
we had a babysitter.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
The lady who was babysitting our kids used to always say,
there are no bad kids.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
There is there are bad parents parenting. And I can
see that.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
The it's how you raise the kids, how you're telling
them right.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
But I think part of that could be including the
joy of it. And like I said, I conclude because
now you know, being older, I will wait longer to
hold an elevator or open a door, or let someone
go in front of me in line because they're in
a hurry.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Like it makes you feel good.
Speaker 8 (22:50):
It makes you feel good, you know, it brought back
it reminded me of a story. But I was coaching
travel a lot of the parents that we used to
hang out with, they used to always come to me
and say, you know, when Danny comes up to me,
he saw me at the bottom of the bleachers. He
came all the way up, shook my hand hold. Mister Murphy,
he goes, that was amazing, and I'm going like, oh,
thank you, thank you very much. But then I'm thinking, like,
I coach your son for the last four years.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
He still doesn't say alone anymore.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
You know, how do you like?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
You know, you know that's a good point because I
saw him the other day and that is him, right,
and you saw that, yeah right? That was got my
knee checked down. And you know he still calls me
miss the lake. Yeah he jerk head, you know to this.
But he is a super polite kid. And he is
very formal in how polite he is, which is a
(23:42):
beautiful thing. It's a very good sign. And I like,
he's good. Oh my god, he's never.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
He's built like like Loudo, right, you would never know
so one. Every once in a while he'll do something
that shocks everybody. They're taking the three two of his
friends and they're taking a picture there in front of them,
and right people would have.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Taken a picture. It was like this shirt and they
didn't even know. They're like, whoa Ray? Yeah, his son,
his two sons were excellent soccer players. He coaches soccer now.
He coached them, a great coach. And uh, his son
is just a really good kid. But he's he wouldn't know,
but he's he's rock. He's rock. You would never know.
Speaker 9 (24:25):
You wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Bobby were going to a commercial.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Oh we weren't in a commercial that whole time.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
No, like we're twenty four minutes. I kept waiting for
a commercial.
Speaker 10 (24:41):
Then she started to choke on a piece of candy.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
She wasn't breathing.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Then Ray reached for the life back in it saved her.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
She could have easily died that day. A life back
saved her life. What I would say is, don't need
a life back and not have it. Have a life
back and hopefully never need it.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Recently, the American Red Cross has added anti joking devices
as an option when standard protocol fails is not feasible, go.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
To life back dot net called eight seven seven five
four three three eight two two.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
We're back we are back live with the man in
the arena. How was that perfect?
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (25:33):
It pretty good.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Actually, okay, come on, let's talk then now. Do you know, No,
she looks so familiar just so we never met post
She doesn't look.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
Like no, I am not. I actually really have.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
No doubt my mind that I've been there.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Actually, yeah, I know what those bars?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
All right? What a tell us?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
What tell us a little bit? And connected with when.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
It's connected with what you just said? Actually, yeah, so
I started a non for profit.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Well wait, talk a little bit about your passion where
it comes from.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
How long have you been in Oh okay, well I've
worked in nursing home since I'm seventeen and I'm fifty four.
So that's like, it's like a minute, It's.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Like you, why do I got to look crappy?
Speaker 7 (26:26):
How come we look like you're not fifty four?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I'm six. I know he's you're like eighty, right, sixty sixty?
Speaker 7 (26:34):
So I started working in nursing homes. I started working
in nursing homes when I was seventeen and fell in
love literally fell in love with the elderly population for many,
many reasons. But over the years, what I what I
actually saw was kind of heartbreaking. A lot of people
don't get visitors.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Wait, wait, stop for one cool, what'd you fall in love?
Speaker 7 (26:56):
They're innocence Yeah yeah, well said in a sense, they're
really they really just want to They're not looking for anything, right,
They're just looking for a whole low point. They're not
looking for a new car. They're not looking for you
to buy them anything. They're just looking for you to
treat them with dignity and respect, and a smile goes
(27:16):
a long way for these people. It's it's completely amazing.
They want a good meal, they want to sleep well,
they want to feel safe, they want to have see
a doctor. Like, they're not asking for anything that you
wouldn't expect them to.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I think your first inkling is you know, they want
to smile, they want to talk, they want to wave,
just some want I used to like get in the story.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
You've had some characters.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
I've had lots of Carl, I've had lots of characters.
One of the things I actually wanted to do, which
I never was able to do, was to do a
study on touch therapy because they never really touched, right,
They're touched when they get washed they're touched when they
get put to bed, they touched when they get a shot,
they touched when they get medicine. But like, does any
body actually touched them? So I hug. I'm a big
(28:03):
hugger to them. I'm hugging them all day long. Parents,
my father, and my stepfather passed.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
My mom works. That's pretty good that hug.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
It does work. Actually.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
But here, let me tell you a quick story too,
and it's the humanity.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
So I was out. I think I told you this story,
but I didn't tell you.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
So I'm out in Uh it was in Delaware, I think,
doing something, and these two girls come out of the bar.
I could tell they were a little tipsy. Right to
my left is a whole row of homeless people, right,
so I said, all right, and I'm just gonna They
were walking by the almost people to go to their hotel.
I could tell they were at a business meeting. So
I said, I'll just watch them, you know, make sure
(28:43):
to get through so they get.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
A little further. So I actually kind of walk out.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I'm in the middle of the homeless people and I
was just watching. I could see they were about to
make and I'm standing next to the guy and I
light a cigarette, might go you want one, and you
would think I oftened ten million dollars for that same reason.
He said, No one treats us like we're regular people.
Like he got teary eyed because they said you want one?
(29:07):
Like I was just talking to him, and then I
hung out and talked to him for a while. But
it goes back to this unanticipated accidental rudeness that we
are rude to these people, right, we don't mean to be.
And but it just hit me so powerfully that how
much he appreciated being treated human.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Right, Yeah, so that just I can relate.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
It's the same thing is that you know, that's what
they want. They just they they crave affection, attention, just
be treated, to be treated like human beings. Have a
nice meal, you know, nothing that nothing. They're not asking for,
you know, lobster and steak. They're asking for a meal
that's hot when it's supposed to be hot, cold when
it's supposed to be cold.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, when you're all your sphetty people they have we
want to go, we haven't.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Okay, so bring us into So I just.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Kept going out. So going throughout the years, I noticed
that they were lacking a lot of compassion from the staff,
that they weren't treated with dignity or respect, especially if
they have something like diagnosis like maybe dementia, right, because
then people don't and some of them act out, some
of them are combative, some of them are verbally abusive,
(30:23):
and they don't mean to be. They have something wrong
with their brain, right, or someone had.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Did you ever watch the videos from Tepe show No
tip a show. I went and I saw her do
a presentation in Florida, and she's like a world leader
in more of the the sociocological, psychological challenges of dealing
with someone going into dementia, and it really it was amazing,
(30:47):
and I highly recommend anyone who has to deal with
that really tough situation. But a lot of it had
to do with stuff you're like, oh my god, like
if you go to change them right and you go
right at of course they're going to be afraid, you know,
and all sorts of techniques that you would not kind
of pick up right or getting mad. I told you,
(31:09):
I don't know, so stop.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Sit down, sit down, sit down. Nothing bothers me more
when I hear somebody saying to a patient who has
dementis who is suffering from dementia. Sit down, They're not
a dog. They're not a dog.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
You remind me you would get along with my wife.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
So so good. It's a special lit teacher.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
Her mom is ninety seven and she's there almost every day.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Well you have to be yeah, And and I.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
Thought it was just her mother, but she just like that,
like you can see the respect.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Well, how about remember when we had our class come
to the treehouse. Yeah, so she got in troubles me.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
For that or something I did at your house that
you built.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
So she taught special needs and she brought them to
the tree talk to.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
My wife into bringing her.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
They have to do they climb up? Hell?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I thought it was cool and.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
My wife went for it because these kids are stuck
in the classroom.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It's awesome.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
So so we did this thing. And so she sets
it up and has them like the drawings and the
right She prepared what would your dream treoss be? And
they had to draw it and they all brought their
drawings and then I set up some tools and showed
them out build it. We had blankets on the floor
and then I took them up the ladder into the treehouse.
(32:31):
I'm sorry, by my wife.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I'm on the phone calling our insurance company.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I'll be I thought it was good, but he is
something cool too, funny?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
What was funny? Kid with the piano.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
So in my treoss, on my little Treoss desk, I
had a piano stool as like the return right, because
it was cool. You could put stuff in it and
see the maps. And so the kid comes open and
he goes, he goes, that's a piano stool. I go, yeah, man,
I said, that's pretty good way to go. He goes,
You're gonna put a piano up here?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
And I was like, I don't think so, Levy.
Speaker 7 (33:08):
You thought about it, well for a.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Second, it could be cool, But the real gift of
that and I guess why I historically, you know, do
things that could get in trouble. Was one of the kids.
She told me. He couldn't really handle anything like heightwise,
like going over the slide right, and he was very introverted.
(33:31):
I didn't know, so I'm like, let's go, dude. He
climbs up the ladder and this was that treos was
about thirteen feet to the floor. This is a kid
that couldn't go over the slide.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
How did he get down? What I want?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I went on the side of him as they climbed
the ladder, and I climbed him back down.
Speaker 8 (33:49):
But she said, after I found that, I thought they
was just gonna go look at it.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I didn't know they were going to go up.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
One day, one took them all up at it. The
bus showed up my house.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
But I guess it was we are what do you think, Well, that's.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
When me and are together.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
That's like me and you together, but different kind of
stupid stuff happens. But the point he loves those kids. Yeah,
that's that's what he's That's to think she had the
courage to do something. But the point of that is
you have the courage the kid out of breakthrough, you know,
so you have to have courage in these situations to
(34:27):
some extent. All right, guys, back to you and whatever
we're talking about.
Speaker 7 (34:33):
I know, I was just saying that I was doing
it for so long, and I noticed the need that
these people needed more love and care. And then the
patients that are long term sadly do not get many visitors.
So in my nursing home right now, we have three
hundred and twenty residents. The short term rehab patients, people
are in and out all day. The long term residence,
(34:54):
there's a handful of people who get visitors every day,
and then there's the rest of them that are literally
just themselves all the time.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
And do you see that?
Speaker 8 (35:02):
And to mean that like they wish they had someone
would come to see you.
Speaker 7 (35:05):
See how they act out, you see how they you know,
for attention. It's very sad. So a couple of years back,
I try to develop a company which failed miserably. Yeah, yeah,
it was great, it was fantastic. I think I'm still
paying for it. What kind of company where you are?
Where people would paying me to advocate for their loved ones.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
He had a carpet cloud.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
That's excellent. Well, that's a great idea.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
It was a great idea, except I didn't know how
to execute it.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Did your car company that still has potential?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Yeah, that still has potential.
Speaker 8 (35:38):
She's evolved, and it would just look at the good
that you do for these people. I don't have anybody
for weeks and months, and then all of a sudden
you go into someone shows up every day or twice
a week.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
So well, so I did a little bit. I didn't
really do that though. I didn't really do that. What
I did was the family would hire me family, and
then what I would do is I would go to
their care plan meetings. I would advocate for them. Did
they get a shower? Did are they clean?
Speaker 8 (36:06):
We could go off a branch off of that and
we would also visit them.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
Yes, because that is something. Oh, we talk after because
I have so many ideas.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
You don't want to talk.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
Okay, maybe not finance the whole thing. Second, yes, I
heard that, and thank you Arthur.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
I walk out with the car.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
But so wait, but you're you started nursing on warriors
as that. Yeah, but that's how we got to know
each other. Because choking is so dangerous and you are
a light back fanatic. I appreciate because you're in that
environment because you know, when you get older, particularly any
kind of dementia, MS, Parkingzheims, all these things affect your
(36:51):
ability to show. We saved two people in the Bristols
this month, fantastic, one in the I think North Point
and one in ourmak because we're finally get in there.
In the UK, we've saved thousands of people in elder
care because you know, you get old, your muscles are weaker,
and you choke more often.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
You also just to throw it out there just so
you know, a lot of times people eat in their
beds right, and so they're not even positioned correctly. Thereating
like like, I'll walk into a room. I'm a clinical dietician.
I'll walk into a room to watch somebody eat and
they're like this. I'm like, I don't understand how you
can eat like that. You know, they need to be
positioned straight, they need to have the up. So there's
(37:32):
a lot even if you are not you don't have
any of those neurological defects, it's still very easy for
you to choke because you're not positioned correctly.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
In general, no matter what, it's simple, we have twenty
two muscles to swallow. They get weaker too, right, so
you get weaker, your muscles get weaker. But you know,
and it goes back to the rig kid type thing too.
You know, you see it all the time that eldercare
didn't do this, the elder can didn't do that. Well,
mistakes happened, and like you said, the perfectly healthy person
(38:04):
can choke too. So we have to once again take
back that self responsibility to get these in elder care
life backs in there. They're not blame the care plan,
the thing that did food. They didn't get the right thing.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
It's gonna happen.
Speaker 7 (38:18):
It's gonna happen even if everything is perfect. So I'm
gonna explain to you just so you understand what happens
when somebody chokes in a nursing home.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Why she explains to you.
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Because I feel connected to him. It's the fact that
he wants to take your money to start.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Oh God, I'll figure, I'll figure something.
Speaker 7 (38:41):
So let's say you're the resident that let's say Resident
A is choking and they're all the way at the
end of the hallway. Now, if they're eating in their room,
nobody's standing there watching them. So what's supposed to happen
is a nurse's aid or nurse supposed to be walking
the hallways, looking inside the rooms and making sure that
nobody's choking. Okay, So let's say they get to that
room and that person's already choking. Now they have to
(39:04):
go all the way back to the nursing station, call
a code. Then they have to go find the suction machine.
The suction machine is as you know you're pushing the item.
You might push the item for you have toia rabbit,
run down the hallway with it, plug it in, make
sure that all the parts are actually there right, and
(39:25):
if you know, and then you try to suction by
then I mean I've lost I know of two residents
that have died because that was not successful. So it
is each one. I don't even think they need to
be true. I think every whole nursing, every nursing station,
every crash, that's it, every nursing, every place where people eat.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
I see you put her on Life Act kill you.
So she's an advocate for life back because she's seen it.
But I want you to talk about what you do
like and I hate to do that because that's important.
But I think what you're doing in the accidal room
this chapter is this unanticipated issue that you're dressing and
(40:04):
and really, I mean it's amazing what you're doing, particularly
because you work a lot and you got George and
now you're gonna deal with in. But are you doing.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
So tell us talk about your collection.
Speaker 7 (40:19):
I mean, so there's this one resident. His name is Carl,
and he just has my heart. Yeah, he has my
heart one hundred percent. And I was noticing that car
always always wearing the same same clothing, and if you
really look at it, residents wearing the same Yes, I
don't know about that.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
But how often you wear it's just probably the second time,
No way today. You know you always interrupt her? Please,
I know, right, thank you.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
That's true.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
So commercial, So residents and nursing homes usually wear the
same three outfits week after week, year after year, on
and on and on. They also, Christmas comes and they
don't get a gift. Father's Day, Mother's Day come, they
don't get a gift. Their Birthday comes, they don't get
a gift. And they don't have much opportunity to buy
(41:13):
new clothes either, because they're not going to the store,
and medicaid doesn't give them enough money to buy anything
after they spend you know, two dollars a day at
the vending machine, so there's no money, there's no opportunity.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Plus two, they're not really internet savvy, so they're not
going on Amazon.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
There's no way. They have no way to get clothing.
They really don't.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
That's such a big meat.
Speaker 7 (41:33):
I decided that Karl needed to be dressed well. So
I started this charity called Nursing Home Warrior, where we
get donations from the community and whether it's money or clothing,
and we pack boxes. Me yea, Me and George. Actually
Polly helps me, but he's more like the He carries
(41:56):
the boxes for me. But we pack boxes of clothing
and we give them to no homes and we so
far we've given about six thousand pieces of clothing out.
Clothing out, yeah, about one hundred.
Speaker 8 (42:07):
I was standing to my neighbor today. It's funny, I said,
if I had, if I was worth five hundred billion dollars,
or even you are. The argument was, what can you
do if you're a You'll have two billion or you
have five hundred billion. To me, whatever you can have
with two hundred with two billion, you can have it.
(42:28):
So the reason I.
Speaker 3 (42:28):
Brought this up is because we were talking about yeah right, No, we.
Speaker 8 (42:32):
Went into like someone like Elon Right, he's has all
these companies and now he's in politics. I said, you know,
if I was him, I had five hundred worth five
hundred billion, I wake up in the morning, I swear
that's what I would I would be like, who can
I help today without them knowing it's me something like this.
How much the interest of my money could cover the.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
Entire country on that get out of here?
Speaker 3 (42:57):
Maybe billions, But here's no no, you have the money.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
But what she did, that's what she did.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Tell me, tell us about was it last weekend? You
went to all those places?
Speaker 1 (43:06):
This is her.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (43:10):
I packed the clothes up, I packed them into boxes,
and then I deliver them to the nursing homes around
you know. I've gone to Brooklyn, Queens.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
This was one day last week.
Speaker 7 (43:19):
Last week was just Queen Queen's. But I've gone to Philadelphia,
I've gone to New Jersey. I've gone to Louisbourg, Pennsylvania
to drop these boxes off, you know, because a lot
of these people don't have anything. But back to the
book for a second. It's interesting because I get more
out of it than I'm sure they do.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
That's what I.
Speaker 7 (43:43):
Feel good like. It makes me feel good. So I
had this conversation. I happen to be with my my
son's father. We were driving to see my my son
a couple of weeks ago together and we were in
the car for like five hours together. I'm surprised he
didn't kill me, but besides me too. Yeah, I'm very
surprised he didn't.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Even you know, it just feels good when you give.
I don't know some people doesn't. To me, it does.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
No, that's the whole the longer field.
Speaker 7 (44:08):
So we're in the car and we're talking. We're talking
a lot, and he's trying to he's explaining things to me,
like I played chess. I need I played checkers. I
need to learn how to play chess, play the long game, Danielle.
We're going on and on and on, and then if
something came up about the charity and he said, well,
you're not making any money from this, I said, I'm
actually making it. If anything, I'm losing money every day.
I said, I really have no money, and I'm making
(44:30):
it worse for myself. Yes, I have no I have
no money, and I am every day I'm spending more
money I don't have. So he said to very good.
So he said to me, you know, you've got to
start thinking. You have to start playing chess, like forget
about the doing stuff for free, and you need to
(44:51):
start making money today because you need to pay your rent.
And I get it. And he's right, because at the
end of the day, I do need to feed myself,
but nothing feels better to me than, you know, eating
pasta with butter.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
If I have to, You're supposed to make that freaking
me off.
Speaker 7 (45:09):
Nothing makes you feel better than eating pasta with butter
and knowing that I'm delivering to nursing home. Okay, this
is a woman.
Speaker 3 (45:17):
Yeah, the the woman in.
Speaker 7 (45:23):
Yeah, we're out, no audio?
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Wow? How you doing?
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Oh? God will be back.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
I think it.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Did you step on a wire or something? Take your
foot off the wire?
Speaker 2 (45:46):
George? Did you do something? Hi?
Speaker 4 (45:49):
George?
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Get away?
Speaker 3 (45:51):
George looks finish the show.
Speaker 7 (45:55):
So the point, So thank you so much Arthur for
starting out.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Hey, this is the point.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
So you know, I see you put up pictures of
all these boxes in the car and the over half.
Speaker 7 (46:13):
It's terrible. It's actually terrible.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Here's what you know, wish more people listening and watching.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Unanticipated Need has a soulful background, meaning it's not just
the shirt. It's not cared enough to give them a shirt, right,
It's that feeling of putting a new outfit on.
Speaker 8 (46:30):
Right.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
We talked about that one day.
Speaker 7 (46:32):
I mean, I love when I go to the store
and I buy something new and I put it on.
It makes me feel happier and not about you, though.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Don't go to the store. I'm buying outfits.
Speaker 7 (46:46):
But you know these people don't get that. So actually,
you and I discussed this last time I was on
your show. When I get a lot more items, which
I need a whole bunch of donations, So if anyone
wants to donate, please reach out and I will be
more than happy to pick them up. I want to
do a pop up store. I want to do where
I go into the nursing home and I set it
up and have a mirror and have a bag and
have them label them right there, and people come back
(47:08):
one day, yes.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
And bring them back to the world, back.
Speaker 7 (47:10):
To feel a little bit like back in the store.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
Yes, they went out.
Speaker 7 (47:15):
They they put it on, like I feel good in it.
I feel pretty, And that's like, really, my you guys
do your own show. I know.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
You can have courage your co host, Okay, courage.
Speaker 8 (47:34):
I really don't know where this came. I didn't even
know if we were gonna. I texted them around five
point fifteen, so we're still on. I didn't hear from
them like ten to six.
Speaker 7 (47:47):
Terrible, So all right, then he's like, you're at six o'clock.
We're on.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
So I'm like, all right, run to the showers.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Let's just thank you for coming. I love you. You
are amazing. I think give it.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
Make sure it's a very clear plug for the eight
people that are listening and watching. Explain where how do
they get in touch with nursing on more?
Speaker 7 (48:07):
You could, Well, they could follow me on Facebook, but
they should probably spell out my name so that they
could follow me. You want me to spell my name? Yeah,
it's Daniel d A n I E L L E
taglatos p A g o U l A t O
(48:27):
S leave line l I E B l E I
and it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (48:33):
It's can't we go to nursing home Warriors?
Speaker 7 (48:35):
Well, I think if you put that in Facebook I
might pop up. I'm not positive because it's not They
have to.
Speaker 2 (48:42):
They have to take a step back in the promotion process.
Speaker 3 (48:46):
Come little easier.
Speaker 7 (48:48):
Well, I'm trying to build a website, but I don't
have them.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
But I say nursing, thank you so much for that.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
Again, I appreciate nursings. Uh reach out and donate.
Speaker 3 (49:03):
Any donate close but time help anything that I think
the key to wrap the key to wrapping up accillal
rudeness is everything we talked about has a spiritual social content.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Right.
Speaker 3 (49:18):
They feel better getting closed, right, We feel better if
we're polite. We feel better if we do something for
other people. We feel better if we're kind, So be
selfish and help someone else. It's perfect right, yes, And
we have no idea if we've.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
Been on, so we're just gonna sign off like we were.
Speaker 9 (49:40):

Speaker 6 (50:26):
Why am I mister three thousand?
Speaker 8 (50:28):
Well?
Speaker 6 (50:28):
On October twentieth, my three year old daughter choked and
I used the life back to save her life. She
was the three thousand person saved with the life back.
Reported safe. Because we're well over that. Where are we at?
You know what Bobby roll that footage, Bobby, he's Betty,
you'd be.
Speaker 7 (50:58):
All right.
Speaker 6 (51:00):
And I'm better know that number was wrong, and I
love when the number is wrong because I have the
right number. Thanks to you, Donna, the accurate number saves
to date three thousand, seven hundred and eighty five saves.
That is two thousand, three hundred sixty four children to date,
(51:22):
well and one hundred and fifty eight days since my
little Girl. Since number three thousand, we have saved seven
hundred and eighty five people in one hundred and fifty
eight days.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Insane, insane, insane. Now, since the show is just out
of control, the h and you're here and I like you.
We you know, we brought on tomorrow's Chokey Witness Day,
which is yees it is. I'm pretty sure we made
up about ten years ago and just pretended it was
(51:53):
day and it's actual day now and it is awareness
to five thousand people that still choked to death, and
then we combat. I will be on Joe Piscolo's radio
show in the morning, I'll be on Brian Kilmea's radio show,
and then I'll be on Newsmax in the afternoon. But
the big news is working with doctor Ben Carson, you know,
(52:15):
and you know it's unbelievable how nasty politically people can be.
But the thing about him, man, he is a humble, kind,
gentle genius and very soulful his faith in God, and
he wants to help.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
He wants to help us.
Speaker 3 (52:36):
And I had the honor hanging out with him all day,
which is a little intermed. You know, he's he's a neurosurgeon.
I was a truck driver, so we had a little
challenge connected in the beginning. Hey, you ever been on
a bull boy?
Speaker 2 (52:48):
By the day, no, I was operating on someone's brain.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
But what a humble, kind gentleman. And uh, it's just
an honor to have him on board to help us
and raise the mission, mostly because of his soul all
the stuff we're talking about. You know, when someone has
it in them, you know, when you care and you
do something, then you feel it. And he's one of
them guys.
Speaker 6 (53:12):
So I just want to you know, speaking of Ben Carson,
he would he would be so amazed at the status
of this week. I mean this week alone, forty eight
people this week were saved by life. That Monday alone, Monday,
we had a record seventeen people in one day. On Monday,
Safe reported.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
Stay now you know what, you know what hit me
in in my heart and I just got a chill
again too.
Speaker 3 (53:40):
About sixteen people they choked to death every day beginning
of time seventeen. Now some of them called, you know,
if they saved someone a week ago or just got
around to it. But it hit me that after thirteen years,
if you took that number correctly, the first day in
the history of mankind, no one choked at death.
Speaker 6 (54:02):
Nobody choked.
Speaker 3 (54:04):
It is just mind blowing, and it's important for the
world to know, not to eight people watching us, that
you can do it. You can change the world. And
if we can eliminate a leading cause accent of death,
you know, come on, let's go. We can do all
these things. But God give me.
Speaker 6 (54:23):
Speaking of the leading calls of death, let's go into
the highlight of the week, shall we. Yeah, highlight of
the week it is a one year old little boy
who choked on some watermelon. Here's the mom's story. My
son was sitting in the high chair eating watermelon. Suddenly
his eyes began to bowls and he opened his mouth
and no sound came out. His eyes got watery, and
(54:45):
he looked like he was trying to gasp for air.
I started the panic. I told my husband to grab
the life back, but I took my baby out of
the chair, turned him around and began back clows. Nothing
was coming out, so I laid him down and pumped
the life back once. Immediately my son started to cry
(55:05):
and the piece of watermelon came out. And that is
the highlight of the week.
Speaker 2 (55:10):
Hey, dude, when you read.
Speaker 3 (55:12):
Those does that that's got to hit you because you
were there, Yeah, right there, you know, yeah, I know,
he's unbelievable. He's so great, and you know that those
stories really bring it to reality, you.
Speaker 6 (55:26):
Know, absolutely and absolutely all.
Speaker 3 (55:28):
So grateful that they had it and that little guy's okay.
And I'm always very grateful for you that you take
the time out to come on and help raise awareness
and save more lives. And I always say that you
know you are missed the three thousand and there was
a god reason that you are so thank.
Speaker 6 (55:49):
You absolutely absolutely and again you know, but by far
as a parent, you never want any parent to go
through that situation. But if you do have a life back,
you're gonna need it, trust.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
Me, all right, brother, Hey.
Speaker 6 (56:04):
On that note, I'm gonna give my closing statement here,
life back, have it and don't need it. Don't need
it and not have it. The life you save could
be your own.
Speaker 3 (56:14):
That's awesome. Gat Hey, thank you really?
Speaker 2 (56:19):
Oh blah, all right, well thank you. So that's our show.
