system is happening here and how crazy it can be
for law enforcement and all the letter the alphabet agencies
that are in town.

We held him over because he's gonna play We're gonna
do an early version of Really in the Years here
because we got an interview at bottom of the hour.
But I'm gonna let you three John Alden, Tony Venetti,

they don't want it out there. Guess who covered it?
Uncovered it?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
This guy this morning, Yeah, journalist.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But they got an l MPD. Uh, there's a tight
l MPD with his horse. Yeah, with that horse specifically.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Uh. Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
So the entire department's rooting for Sandman to win the
dirty He's not. He's not the favorite, but he's he's
got a chance. He won the Arkansas Derby. He's coming
out of the seventeenth spot. He likes to crash late.
He doesn't like to hug the rail early and get
bogged down. At the Arkansas Derby, he stays, wait a minute,
(01:45):
I'm not done. He doesn't like crashing down from the top.
He likes to puch. He's a speedster. He's gray, he's beautiful,
and he happens to be trained by the father of
an LMPD lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Ah, can you shout?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Mark Cassie is the trainer of Sandman. His son, Joel
is a lieutenant on our police department, highly decorated officer.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
In fact, we did an.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Interview with him internally, with Joel and Mark and Sandman
this morning. We're gonna put it on our social this
afternoon and turn it how about that.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You think Lieutenant Joe could fix his parking?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Okay, yeah, he probably could have.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Way that I would assume because you're a great outfit,
that you would have him stationed at Churchill Downs for
you wouldn't have him in the RP.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
He is the Joel is the lieutenant on our police department.
He was on our swat team. He's on our swat team.
He's been on swat team for a long time. He
is our security commander, so he's in charge of all
things security in and around Churchill Downs. And if that
horse wins, we're gonna make sure he's in the winter
Circle and so so we can celebrate with his fads.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Awesome anyway you.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Bring him by, uh the broadcast, we're in the we're
in the uh. We're in the green seats, though.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You can't get to me because I'll be in the infield.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Shocker, I have no I think he would do an
interview with you all tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
We're there all day, I wonder, and my shift is
twelve to three or four, one to three or four,
So I'd love to have him on if you can
walk him up and I could be he's just right
there in the green seats that.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And before you leave, I think that's something that we
can facilitate one hundred percent. I would love for you
to talk to him. He's a great did.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And by the way, before you leave, I've got a
sugar cube with a little some extra special for it.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Kind of man, I don't know if he needs it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Hey, let's talk. Look, I want to talk. We're having fun.
It's Oaks Day, so you know. But let's let's talk
about violent crime because I do know for a fact
that you're solving a lot of these homicide cases. Yeah,
the violent crime is down. Talk about LMPD because I
find that fascinating. On the performance we're getting. Yes, and
you're still shorthanded, but you lmpd's kicking ass, man.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, we're kicking ass right now, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
But we need to be careful about taking credit when
crime is down, because we will have to take credit
if it rises. Right right, But I will tell you
the stats, and the stats are that violent crime is
down across the board from thirty two to forty percent
in all major categories. This includes homicides, non fatal shootings, robberies,
and carjackings. So this is data. This is not me bragging.
This is just me telling you the numbers, and what
(04:15):
that's allowed us to do is solve more homicides. So,
our current homicide clearance rates around sixty percent, which is
the highest that it's been over So like, when we
have a homicide, a detective puts a case on, somebody,
makes an arrest and clears that arrest.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You're serious, six sixty percent.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, So the national average is about fifty.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Over the last That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Over the last.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Several years, we've hovered in the thirties. A lot of
that is like public cooperation tips, the unwillingness of the
community to trust us to give us information. And we're
seeing a little uptick here and we're kind of excited
about it. And what's happening is and our homicide unit
is one of the best in the country. And I'm
saying that biasedly, but I can say that factually as well.
(04:56):
But what it's allowing to do is it's not just
our homicide unit that's kicking ass. There's other entities of
LMPD that are involved here that are directly impacting violent crime.
For example, our non fatal shooting unit is arresting trigger
pullers proactively and getting them.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Off the tree.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Then we're going to our three letter agency partners. We're
indicting these people federally. We're cutting the head off the
snake and we're putting the shooters in prison, and that
is lowering violent crime. It's a simple recipe and it's effective.
And I'll tell you why. Most of our homicide detectives
this time last year we're on their third and fourth case.
(05:32):
Some of them haven't had their second case this year.
All of them have been through one rotation. So you
stand up on rotation, you get a case, you fall
back down to work that case, right, pretty traditional. So
most of our homicide detectives are just now coming up
on their second case this year. We're in May. That's
given them the opportunity to work hard on their case
that they have currently they're putting them down. We're going
(05:52):
back and looking at older cases, now cold cases, and
really pouring some more resources into some of these unsolved
murders and we're seeing success. We're excited about it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
How long does someone usually last working the homicide unit.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It takes a special person to do that job.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Because you're staying, you're standing over dead bodies, you're observing autopsies,
you're talking to the grieving family that the moms, you're
you're staying in contact, you're doing going through the court process.
You're arresting the trigger pullers. It's a tough, tough job.
It takes a special person to do it. And if
you think you're up to that challenge, go to LMPD
jobs dot com. We're always accepting applications.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I want to talk about the PTSD, about that working
homicide because, like you see, you see things that you're
not supposed to see as a human being. How much
of a key component is this brand new LMPD facility.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
The wellness unit of the.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Average person witnesses one to two critical incidents in their
lifetime that could be a serious car wreck, cancer, something
that significantly affects your person. A cop sees thousands, right,
they see homicide seeds more than that, and so we
have to have an outlet for us to go talk
to people, to go work out, and so the wellness
unit is paying dividends. We're seeing officers get injured on
(07:08):
the job, which is natural footchases and fights and recks
and stuff. They're going to the wellness unit. The next
day they're getting they're starting their physical therapy right away.
They're coming back to work sooner, which is helping the
community because we can keep our numbers plused up right.
So it and there's therapy there. I've thought the counselors there,
phenomenal sheltering group psychologists is there. Uh, we have financial peace.
(07:31):
We have people come tell us how how to take
care of our money. There's a gem there, there's spiritual
wellness there. We have our chaplains there. It's a one
stop shop for your police department and it gives you
a healthier agency, a healthier force. And that's what the
city of Louisville deserves.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
What was the Wellness Center currency of Louisville Metro Police Foundation.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Really, I can't, I can't tell you how great this
organization is.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And them kick ass Louisville.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Metro Police Foundation. They they kick in. They upsidized where
the officers would go without. I'm talking about goal without
in a big way. We're talking about flag jackets, vests,
bulletproof vest they've provided.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
We're talking robots for bomb squad, We're talking about drones
for swat we're talking about extra body armor. We're talking
about a freaking wellness unit, a multimillion dollars, state of
the art agency where all other police agencies are coming
and taking tours of our wellness unit and going, why
the hell.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Do we not have something? Oh, that's a turn of events.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, we're going here and that is amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Dozens and dozens.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Of tours we've given to that place, some other agencies
that we need to do this.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Let me get back to homicide. Do you ever a
good friend about is Pete McCarty. He used to be
a homicide guy.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
He was the one.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
He was the one that saw that there was a
child that was killed. It was on twenty twenty or
something like that. They did a special on it. And
I always I wonder if do old homicide guys, like
in the TV shows where they go they're just one
case was bothering them.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You know, it was like they can't let it, they
can't let it go.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
They will and they came walking into the homicide unit
and going, hey, I want to take another look at
take another stab, and I want to take another stab
out of eight? Does that ever happen? B are all
these guys and this is the dream world. I guess, like,
are they on call to like a current homicide detective
(09:22):
to say, hey, man, did you take a look at
this and see if you see anything I'm not.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, they're twenty four to seven operation. They have homicide
detectives that are on deck, that are up, that are
on the bubble. There's terminology for our coverage. But I'll
tell you this about our homicide detectives. They their cases
go with them at night. And so with patrol, you
go make a run, you make a traffic stop, you
make a wreck, you make an arrest of a shoplifter
from Walgreens on Faga Bush, Boom, You're done. Are homicide
(09:49):
detectives that doesn't happen with them. They get a case,
it stays with them the rest of their life, especially
if it's unsolved. The ones that retire, they always have
those cases where they're just like, damn it, I wish
job was still on and I could just take another
crack at that case. They take that home with them.
It lives with them, it lives within them, and it
takes a special person to care that much about somebody
(10:10):
they don't know to get justice for that family and
for this community.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
They had that Netflix show about one of the serial
killers in New York and they part of the show
was this supposedly he's described as the greatest homicide detective
in New York City history. And at the end you
find out he's retired. He lives in South Carolina and
he's sitting on the bench and they said how many
cases did you work? And he said nine hundred something.
He goes and I remember every one of them, single one.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
That's the type of people you want investigating homicides, stone
cold hunters that just want justice for people they've never met.
Takes a special person.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'm still going further.

Oaks day tonight. My buddy Gary from ROI three sixty
plus is coming in from Miami. Gonna have some tequila

Man? Hey, guys doing great? How you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
If you If you want me to go ahead and
sing that song for your alls ads on TV and radio,
I'll be happy to do so.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Yeah, let me get back to you on that.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Listen, Darren Andrews, you're the reason that Tony and I
have hair. I used to have this big maloney spot.
I look like a sea monster skin yamaka. I used
to scare kids. Look like Friar Tuck. I did look
like freer Tuck. You help me out, You help Tony out.
Let's talk. We grow hair. Indy Buddy, the largest hair
(14:36):
restoration company in the world in the Midwest. In the Midwest,
what's going on? But we grow hair Indy Man.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Yeah, thank you guys. As I said, it's good to
catch up again. So yeah, really busy, busy, timy hear
for us. You mentioned the size of the company with Grohm,
but but would like to sort of keep that that
small personal feel. You know, owners are on side all
the time and we've been at it for twenty years.
So the great thing about well we do, guys, as
you know, is we do everything related to hair so
(15:04):
early here last prevention. Of course, we specialize in here transplants.
You know you you both have had multi unit haircrafting
like I've had done. That's one of the transplant types
we do. That's known for a lot of hair, a
lot of density. We guarantee the here to grow in
a single procedure. We do another procedure type where we
have robotics. So that's called if you e forllicular unit extraction,
(15:25):
which is a different way of harvesting follicles from the back.
So the key is it's not a one size fits all, right.
We're customizing what we do based on based on what
we need, what the needs are, and you guys are
a great example. We had the old bl ony spot
in the back with you, Dwight, and then of course
with Tony we had the frontal hairs. So really customization
is important.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hey, you're off for like a phase surgery, tonly gonna
have because you're still us so stupid.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Look, every time I use a service like this, especially
as important as this, you gotta understand the details. So
the second I hit your front door, I was grading
you all out. How the place looked, the art on
the walls, the people, and how they treated me. This
was going to be whether I said yes or no
(16:13):
to the procedure. And I think a lot of people
are probably like me. What I can tell you is
that I walked away that I said, this is the country.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Club of hair restoration.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
The ladies at the front desk, and it's not just
me because I endorsed the product, and I thought, well,
maybe they know my name because I'm coming in. Because
once you open the door and you're fifteen feet away,
they look up and say, Tony, how are you? We're
expecting you. You have a three fifteen appointment, but we
could take you back now when I sit in the chairs.
(16:45):
They do that to everybody who walks through the door.
It's everybody that walks through door. Steve, great to see you,
Thank you your appointments in five minutes?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Can I get your water or coffee? Bam that? But
those are important, you know, those you know?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Yeah, you know, I think, sorry interrupt on you. I
think you make a good point. You know, we laugh
and joke about it, but it's still a very private thing, right,
Anything that you're doing cosmic, and I think for guys,
one of the hardest things that I talked I talk
to guys about is giving up control. And we like
to be in control as guys in particular. And we
don't just treat guys, we treat women as well. So
(17:20):
we're out of our comfort zone doing something like this,
and sometimes the hardest thing is just to make that
first call. So you know, we really focus on that warm,
welcoming environment and guiding guys through whatever process is they're doing.
And to hear that from you, Tony, really means a lot,
because we work really hard to to make the environment
easy for people and to make it a smooth process.
(17:42):
So I love to hear that thing.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
And listen, it wasn't just Tony, They welcome Tony and said,
mister Venee. They did the same thing with me, and
usually when I go into business, they direct me where
the homeless shelter is.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Well, I gotta just call you mister fatty.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Let's talk about with the surgeon.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah that did my procedure was like a retired cardiologist surgeon.
And I was like, what are you doing here? He
goes a work here once a month. I'm you know,
because I'm bored. But this guy is like this major
name surgeon in town that just says, you know, I
want to keep working. So I'm doing this and I'm like,
I have I have the best surgeon in Indianapolis doing
my procedure.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And that's another thing.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
How the level of surgeons people that you have there
are off the charts.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yeah, thank you. I mean the surgery side of things,
as an example, is a very specialist approach. So you know,
physicians don't go to school to come here transplant stugeons.
They transition into it. It's really interesting because a lot
of surgeons get into here restoration they think it's easy,
and they don't last. So it's select few that are
very good at it, that have the surgical skill, the
spatial awayness skill and of course the bed side man
(18:49):
stay in it and do very well. So that's one
of the things we pride ourselves on. We've got a
long tim team. It's not just the doctor, it's the
team that work with them and consistently upskilling and training.
That's all our teams do on the hit transplant side
of things is they just do hair transplants.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Breath talk with Darren Andrews. We grow hair. Indy, my friend,
Tony's friend, restored my hair and Tony's hair, And I
got to tell you, I was skeptical when I first
contacted you all about getting my hair transplant. And here's why.
I went through my consultation and I asked you. I
think it was you I did it with. And you said,
I said, hey, you know what's going to prevent this
(19:26):
from falling out? And you explained to me that the
hair on the side, in the back of your hair
is different than the hair on the top of your head.
Meaning if you see these guys and they have the
caut a sack where they go bad, but they still
have the side and the back hair, it's different hair.
I thought that can't be right. I asked my physician,
(19:47):
and sure enough, that's what it is. So it's your
real hair is restored to your hair pattern. I think
it's amazing because it's been five years now and look,
it's still thick. My wife still loves to run her
toes through my hair on the Saturday night ros.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
That's yes. Yeah. The hair on the back of the
sides of this program differently, so it has a different
genetic code, so you can relocate it from the back
or redistribute it from the back and move it to
the top, and it maintains that genetic code. The global
approach is quite important, so doing things to keep what's
not transplanting as well as putting back what you've lost.
It all comes into play. But you're you're absolutely correct
(20:23):
with that explanation.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
To what we grow hair.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Indie dot com Darren could be your point person on this.
Everyone it works there is so great. Just get the
free consultation. What's it gonna hurt? What are you gonna
lose except for some of those hats you have to
wear all the time because you're going baldy?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Can I point something out real quick though? I want
to get serious. I want to talk about the integrity
of we grow hair Indy because a lot of my
friends have seen my results and they come to me quietly,
Like Darren, it's very private. I'm open about everything in
my life, but they come to say, hey, will they
help me? I said, one particular for I've sent any
friends up there and they're all happy with the results.
(21:02):
Is static. Another friend I send up and you go,
you're not a good candidate. And you said, we're not
going to do this surgery because we don't think you'd
be happy with it. So I thought that showed a
great integrity on your business, because there's a lot of
clinics out there is going to take your money no
matter what. But you didn't want to disappoint a client.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yeah, I appreciate that. You know, we've told about that before.
And you do your best to make everyone as happy
as possible. And you know the fact that we offer
every available option. We're not just sort of a one
trick pony for want of a bit of term, considering
that's you know, the weekend there, but you know, so
having different options and in the scenario you were speaking about,
(21:44):
we went the preventative route because the hair loss was spreading.
You could see that the amount of loss he was
going to have was not going to be able to
be addressed with a hair transplant. It could have could
have backed them into a corner longer term. So no,
I appreciate that, and I think that's very important. And
you know, that's how you build a long term business
and practice, and that's something we're really proud of. So
we prot itselves on that.
Speaker 1 (22:04):

And listen, in certain circumstances, we need extra hair. Sometimes
my wife has donated her back hair. She's a very
generous person. She's really awesome generous. You know, these custom
made popcorn buckets, there's something for every single movie. I
remember back in the seventies King Kong when that came out. Yeah,
(22:53):
they had a gigantic airplane popcorn bucket. Yeah, but so
this custom of Gladiator too had a gladiator helmet.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I watched it again. Remember I told you I didn't
like it.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I watched it again and I liked it a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah, I was expecting something else. That's the thing about
movies expectation.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Here's the the newest popcorn bucket, and it's kind of cool.
Mission Impossible popcorn bucket.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Johnny's been obsessed with these popcorn BUTX I have are is?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I am a collect This is the fourth time he's
done the popcorn box story. It's like he did what
happened with that popcorn box back in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Well, let's just say that every girl that goes on
a date gets a literal surprise at the.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Stop It stop. Butter is what he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Butter.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It tastes nothing like butter. The Mission Impossible popcorn bucket
is going to be different than the other ones, though,
because the final reckoning the bucket is gonna come with
a key.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What is the final reckoning?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It's a mission impossible.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
The Final Reckoning, Oh yes, because the whole movie's about
a key.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, so in order in order to open up to
get your popcorn, you gotta have the key. It hits
theaters on May twenty third.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Uh, that's pretty cool. I'll give it then, right, Tom
Cruise is just like that move the first half of
that movie, because I went to see it. Normally, it's
hard for me to go see a movie that I
know they're splitting in two because I'm like, at the end.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I'm not gonna get to the end. I'm not gonna
get the end.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
We don't even watch a series.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Yes, until a series down lows the entire series, we're
not watching it.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Let alone a movie.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Lord of the Rings was the one where I was
I was yelling out loud up the aisle.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Which one which you installment of vorite Lords?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I'm so dumb.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
I spent three hours in that first Lord of the
Rings whatever Fellowship of the Ring. It was three hours
and twenty minutes or something, and and I was like,
who who whoa they're they didn't get to the mountain yet.
And they were like, dude, this thing is in three parts.
And I was like what I was like I got
to spend another six hours to see if the two
midget the two little guys?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Do you get to the mountain?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Do you think pleased about having to wait to get
the ring?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And by the way, how do they get saved at
the end? John, how do they get saved? How do
they get saved? I've not seen Lord.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
All right twice during the series. These giant hawks that
are the size of a seven forty seven or seven
seventy seven, they come and pick them up when they're
about to die. And then at the end, when the
lava is going to take them, they coming out, O
doun't nowhere and grab them. Everyone goes, why didn't they
just carry them to the mountain in the first place,
(25:51):
instead of having the entire journey ride the giant hawk
and throw it into the lava mountain?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Spoken like a true idiot, like a true gag if
you ask me why why? Yeah, It's like in Blank
Man when Blank Man his outfit is totally bulletproof and
he goes back in his alley and they're shooting him.
He's all bouncing off and then we'll finding some Mum goes,
why you just shoot him in the head? Yeah, just
(26:21):
shoot him.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
So that movie.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I'm telling you, the first one was so good, the
Tom Cruise, the whatever reckoning it. It's that second one.
It might be the last one he does. I mean,
I don't know how much longer he can take this.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Now a normal actor, I would say, You're right. Tom
Cruise is much more than an actor. He's also a scientist.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I heard that, So.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Maybe he'll come up with some kind of thing keeping
active longer. Hey Jefferson Animal Hospital, folks, do you have
a dog, you have a cat, they could be a
lifesaver for others. Listen to this. If your dog's over
fifty pounds, if your cat's over ten pounds, they can
be pet blood donors.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That's right, it's a fat cat.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Pets can donate blood just like you and I can.
But the benefits is even better. Listen to this. Every
time your pet gives a donation, it could save four
to six other dogs and pets lives. That's huge. But
it's not just that. That's not the only benefit of
saving lives and helping others. How about this, there's benefits
for your dog or cat as well, like regular examinations.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Vaccines, and more. If you think that your pet might qualify.
Give them a call. Five zero two nine hundred pets.
That's five hundred and two nine hundred pets. And by
the way, thank you Jefferson Animal Hospital.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
President Trump signs an executive order directing the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting to end federal funding for NPR and PBS.
I don't know how much money they get, because I
know they do fundraising.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I think Big Bird is who we need to contact
on that. Probably, can you get Big Bird on the
phone for us John Off to work on them?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I will say, I will say, this is so the
first answer is like the you know. The person answers
the tweet. He says, this isn't about money, It's about
silencing one of the last nonpartisan.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Just be honest about it.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yes, I love all my friends over there at uh
A Public Broadcasting, But there it's it's been weird.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It's not even left. It is so far left it's crazy.
So stop with the non partison.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I will mention vision first, Vision FIRSTI care dot com.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That's where I got my glasses.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Uh. Julie Baum had texted me before I went out
to church or down. She had lost her readers. She
goes you have an extra pair of readers.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I said no.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
A year and a half ago, I went to Vision
First and got rid of those and I got real
glasses with the readers in the bottom and then the
transitions that TRANSI up top so I can read things
better that are fifteen feet away and they and I've
never taken them off. These pair on my face now

firstiicare dot com. When I was there a year ago,
(29:14):
I saw six month old getting glasses cutesting I've ever seen.
And I've also seen old folks get in there and
getting their first pair of glasses. Ever, whether you're in
between that, go to Vision firstiicare dot com get some
new glasses. Eighteen locations back after this on news radio
at Fort aws chas
I personally want to thank and say it was good
to see everybody from LMPD after pushing that red button
that was it's a lot of funding break.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I don't leave. I just went to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
And I also want to command LMPD for getting here
so quickly. Was everybody showed up.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
This was a party. I'm suspended, so LMPD was. Matt
Sanders is with us again.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
He came in and talked to us about what the
system is happening here and how crazy it can be
for law enforcement and all the letter the alphabet agencies
that are in town.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
We held him over because he's gonna play We're gonna
do an early version of Really in the Years here
because we got an interview at bottom of the hour.
But I'm gonna let you three John Alden, Tony Venetti,
Matt Sanders and on a little Kentucky Derby secret. Yeah,
I'm peaked behind the curtain, if you will. Okay, what
say you? Tony?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I say, yes, all right?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You ready for this? Yes? The horse sand Oh yes,
it was named after Metallica's inter Sandman. Nobody nobody knows
blown well because they don't want and you know what
they don't want it out there. Guess who covered it?
Uncovered it?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
This guy this morning, Yeah, journalist.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
But they got an l MPD. Uh, there's a tight
l MPD with his horse. Yeah, with that horse specifically.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Uh. Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
So the entire department's rooting for Sandman to win the
dirty He's not. He's not the favorite, but he's he's
got a chance. He won the Arkansas Derby. He's coming
out of the seventeenth spot. He likes to crash late.
He doesn't like to hug the rail early and get
bogged down. At the Arkansas Derby, he stays, wait a minute,
(01:45):
I'm not done. He doesn't like crashing down from the top.
He likes to puch. He's a speedster. He's gray, he's beautiful,
and he happens to be trained by the father of
an LMPD lieutenant.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Ah, can you shout?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Mark Cassie is the trainer of Sandman. His son, Joel
is a lieutenant on our police department, highly decorated officer.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
In fact, we did an.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Interview with him internally, with Joel and Mark and Sandman
this morning. We're gonna put it on our social this
afternoon and turn it how about that.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You think Lieutenant Joe could fix his parking?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Okay, yeah, he probably could have.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Way that I would assume because you're a great outfit,
that you would have him stationed at Churchill Downs for
you wouldn't have him in the RP.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
He is the Joel is the lieutenant on our police department.
He was on our swat team. He's on our swat team.
He's been on swat team for a long time. He
is our security commander, so he's in charge of all
things security in and around Churchill Downs. And if that
horse wins, we're gonna make sure he's in the winter
Circle and so so we can celebrate with his fads.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Awesome anyway you.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Bring him by, uh the broadcast, we're in the we're
in the uh. We're in the green seats, though.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You can't get to me because I'll be in the infield.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Shocker, I have no I think he would do an
interview with you all tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
We're there all day, I wonder, and my shift is
twelve to three or four, one to three or four,
So I'd love to have him on if you can
walk him up and I could be he's just right
there in the green seats that.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And before you leave, I think that's something that we
can facilitate one hundred percent. I would love for you
to talk to him. He's a great did.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And by the way, before you leave, I've got a
sugar cube with a little some extra special for it.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Kind of man, I don't know if he needs it.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Hey, let's talk. Look, I want to talk. We're having fun.
It's Oaks Day, so you know. But let's let's talk
about violent crime because I do know for a fact
that you're solving a lot of these homicide cases. Yeah,
the violent crime is down. Talk about LMPD because I
find that fascinating. On the performance we're getting. Yes, and
you're still shorthanded, but you lmpd's kicking ass, man.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, we're kicking ass right now, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
But we need to be careful about taking credit when
crime is down, because we will have to take credit
if it rises. Right right, But I will tell you
the stats, and the stats are that violent crime is
down across the board from thirty two to forty percent
in all major categories. This includes homicides, non fatal shootings, robberies,
and carjackings. So this is data. This is not me bragging.
This is just me telling you the numbers, and what
(04:15):
that's allowed us to do is solve more homicides. So,
our current homicide clearance rates around sixty percent, which is
the highest that it's been over So like, when we
have a homicide, a detective puts a case on, somebody,
makes an arrest and clears that arrest.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You're serious, six sixty percent.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, So the national average is about fifty.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Over the last That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Over the last.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Several years, we've hovered in the thirties. A lot of
that is like public cooperation tips, the unwillingness of the
community to trust us to give us information. And we're
seeing a little uptick here and we're kind of excited
about it. And what's happening is and our homicide unit
is one of the best in the country. And I'm
saying that biasedly, but I can say that factually as well.
(04:56):
But what it's allowing to do is it's not just
our homicide unit that's kicking ass. There's other entities of
LMPD that are involved here that are directly impacting violent crime.
For example, our non fatal shooting unit is arresting trigger
pullers proactively and getting them.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Off the tree.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Then we're going to our three letter agency partners. We're
indicting these people federally. We're cutting the head off the
snake and we're putting the shooters in prison, and that
is lowering violent crime. It's a simple recipe and it's effective.
And I'll tell you why. Most of our homicide detectives
this time last year we're on their third and fourth case.
(05:32):
Some of them haven't had their second case this year.
All of them have been through one rotation. So you
stand up on rotation, you get a case, you fall
back down to work that case, right, pretty traditional. So
most of our homicide detectives are just now coming up
on their second case this year. We're in May. That's
given them the opportunity to work hard on their case
that they have currently they're putting them down. We're going
(05:52):
back and looking at older cases, now cold cases, and
really pouring some more resources into some of these unsolved
murders and we're seeing success. We're excited about it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
How long does someone usually last working the homicide unit.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It takes a special person to do that job.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Because you're staying, you're standing over dead bodies, you're observing autopsies,
you're talking to the grieving family that the moms, you're
you're staying in contact, you're doing going through the court process.
You're arresting the trigger pullers. It's a tough, tough job.
It takes a special person to do it. And if
you think you're up to that challenge, go to LMPD
jobs dot com. We're always accepting applications.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I want to talk about the PTSD, about that working
homicide because, like you see, you see things that you're
not supposed to see as a human being. How much
of a key component is this brand new LMPD facility.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
The wellness unit of the.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Average person witnesses one to two critical incidents in their
lifetime that could be a serious car wreck, cancer, something
that significantly affects your person. A cop sees thousands, right,
they see homicide seeds more than that, and so we
have to have an outlet for us to go talk
to people, to go work out, and so the wellness
unit is paying dividends. We're seeing officers get injured on
(07:08):
the job, which is natural footchases and fights and recks
and stuff. They're going to the wellness unit. The next
day they're getting they're starting their physical therapy right away.
They're coming back to work sooner, which is helping the
community because we can keep our numbers plused up right.
So it and there's therapy there. I've thought the counselors there,
phenomenal sheltering group psychologists is there. Uh, we have financial peace.
(07:31):
We have people come tell us how how to take
care of our money. There's a gem there, there's spiritual
wellness there. We have our chaplains there. It's a one
stop shop for your police department and it gives you
a healthier agency, a healthier force. And that's what the
city of Louisville deserves.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
What was the Wellness Center currency of Louisville Metro Police Foundation.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Really, I can't, I can't tell you how great this
organization is.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And them kick ass Louisville.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Metro Police Foundation. They they kick in. They upsidized where
the officers would go without. I'm talking about goal without
in a big way. We're talking about flag jackets, vests,
bulletproof vest they've provided.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
We're talking robots for bomb squad, We're talking about drones
for swat we're talking about extra body armor. We're talking
about a freaking wellness unit, a multimillion dollars, state of
the art agency where all other police agencies are coming
and taking tours of our wellness unit and going, why
the hell.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Do we not have something? Oh, that's a turn of events.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, we're going here and that is amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Dozens and dozens.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Of tours we've given to that place, some other agencies
that we need to do this.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Let me get back to homicide. Do you ever a
good friend about is Pete McCarty. He used to be
a homicide guy.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
He was the one.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
He was the one that saw that there was a
child that was killed. It was on twenty twenty or
something like that. They did a special on it. And
I always I wonder if do old homicide guys, like
in the TV shows where they go they're just one
case was bothering them.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
You know, it was like they can't let it, they
can't let it go.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
They will and they came walking into the homicide unit
and going, hey, I want to take another look at
take another stab, and I want to take another stab
out of eight? Does that ever happen? B are all
these guys and this is the dream world. I guess, like,
are they on call to like a current homicide detective
(09:22):
to say, hey, man, did you take a look at
this and see if you see anything I'm not.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Yeah, they're twenty four to seven operation. They have homicide
detectives that are on deck, that are up, that are
on the bubble. There's terminology for our coverage. But I'll
tell you this about our homicide detectives. They their cases
go with them at night. And so with patrol, you
go make a run, you make a traffic stop, you
make a wreck, you make an arrest of a shoplifter
from Walgreens on Faga Bush, Boom, You're done. Are homicide
(09:49):
detectives that doesn't happen with them. They get a case,
it stays with them the rest of their life, especially
if it's unsolved. The ones that retire, they always have
those cases where they're just like, damn it, I wish
job was still on and I could just take another
crack at that case. They take that home with them.
It lives with them, it lives within them, and it
takes a special person to care that much about somebody
(10:10):
they don't know to get justice for that family and
for this community.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
They had that Netflix show about one of the serial
killers in New York and they part of the show
was this supposedly he's described as the greatest homicide detective
in New York City history. And at the end you
find out he's retired. He lives in South Carolina and
he's sitting on the bench and they said how many
cases did you work? And he said nine hundred something.
He goes and I remember every one of them, single one.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
That's the type of people you want investigating homicides, stone
cold hunters that just want justice for people they've never met.
Takes a special person.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I'm still going further.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Hang on LMPD jobs dot com. We're always hiring guys.

Yeah, thank you guys. As I said, it's good to
catch up again. So yeah, really busy, busy, timy hear
for us. You mentioned the size of the company with Grohm,
but but would like to sort of keep that that
small personal feel. You know, owners are on side all
the time and we've been at it for twenty years.
So the great thing about well we do, guys, as
you know, is we do everything related to hair so
(15:04):
early here last prevention. Of course, we specialize in here transplants.
You know you you both have had multi unit haircrafting
like I've had done. That's one of the transplant types
we do. That's known for a lot of hair, a
lot of density. We guarantee the here to grow in
a single procedure. We do another procedure type where we
have robotics. So that's called if you e forllicular unit extraction,
(15:25):
which is a different way of harvesting follicles from the back.
So the key is it's not a one size fits all, right.
We're customizing what we do based on based on what
we need, what the needs are, and you guys are
a great example. We had the old bl ony spot
in the back with you, Dwight, and then of course
with Tony we had the frontal hairs. So really customization
is important.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Hey, you're off for like a phase surgery, tonly gonna
have because you're still us so stupid.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Look, every time I use a service like this, especially
as important as this, you gotta understand the details. So
the second I hit your front door, I was grading
you all out. How the place looked, the art on
the walls, the people, and how they treated me. This
was going to be whether I said yes or no
(16:13):
to the procedure. And I think a lot of people
are probably like me. What I can tell you is
that I walked away that I said, this is the country.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Club of hair restoration.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
The ladies at the front desk, and it's not just
me because I endorsed the product, and I thought, well,
maybe they know my name because I'm coming in. Because
once you open the door and you're fifteen feet away,
they look up and say, Tony, how are you? We're
expecting you. You have a three fifteen appointment, but we
could take you back now when I sit in the chairs.
(16:45):
They do that to everybody who walks through the door.
It's everybody that walks through door. Steve, great to see you,
Thank you your appointments in five minutes?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Can I get your water or coffee? Bam that? But
those are important, you know, those you know?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Yeah, you know, I think, sorry interrupt on you. I
think you make a good point. You know, we laugh
and joke about it, but it's still a very private thing, right,
Anything that you're doing cosmic, and I think for guys,
one of the hardest things that I talked I talk
to guys about is giving up control. And we like
to be in control as guys in particular. And we
don't just treat guys, we treat women as well. So
(17:20):
we're out of our comfort zone doing something like this,
and sometimes the hardest thing is just to make that
first call. So you know, we really focus on that warm,
welcoming environment and guiding guys through whatever process is they're doing.
And to hear that from you, Tony, really means a lot,
because we work really hard to to make the environment
easy for people and to make it a smooth process.
(17:42):
So I love to hear that thing.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
And listen, it wasn't just Tony, They welcome Tony and said,
mister Venee. They did the same thing with me, and
usually when I go into business, they direct me where
the homeless shelter is.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Well, I gotta just call you mister fatty.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Let's talk about with the surgeon.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah that did my procedure was like a retired cardiologist surgeon.
And I was like, what are you doing here? He
goes a work here once a month. I'm you know,
because I'm bored. But this guy is like this major
name surgeon in town that just says, you know, I
want to keep working. So I'm doing this and I'm like,
I have I have the best surgeon in Indianapolis doing
my procedure.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
And that's another thing.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
How the level of surgeons people that you have there
are off the charts.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yeah, thank you. I mean the surgery side of things,
as an example, is a very specialist approach. So you know,
physicians don't go to school to come here transplant stugeons.
They transition into it. It's really interesting because a lot
of surgeons get into here restoration they think it's easy,
and they don't last. So it's select few that are
very good at it, that have the surgical skill, the
spatial awayness skill and of course the bed side man
(18:49):
stay in it and do very well. So that's one
of the things we pride ourselves on. We've got a
long tim team. It's not just the doctor, it's the
team that work with them and consistently upskilling and training.
That's all our teams do on the hit transplant side
of things is they just do hair transplants.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Breath talk with Darren Andrews. We grow hair. Indy, my friend,
Tony's friend, restored my hair and Tony's hair, And I
got to tell you, I was skeptical when I first
contacted you all about getting my hair transplant. And here's why.
I went through my consultation and I asked you. I
think it was you I did it with. And you said,
I said, hey, you know what's going to prevent this
(19:26):
from falling out? And you explained to me that the
hair on the side, in the back of your hair
is different than the hair on the top of your head.
Meaning if you see these guys and they have the
caut a sack where they go bad, but they still
have the side and the back hair, it's different hair.
I thought that can't be right. I asked my physician,
(19:47):
and sure enough, that's what it is. So it's your
real hair is restored to your hair pattern. I think
it's amazing because it's been five years now and look,
it's still thick. My wife still loves to run her
toes through my hair on the Saturday night ros.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
That's yes. Yeah. The hair on the back of the
sides of this program differently, so it has a different
genetic code, so you can relocate it from the back
or redistribute it from the back and move it to
the top, and it maintains that genetic code. The global
approach is quite important, so doing things to keep what's
not transplanting as well as putting back what you've lost.
It all comes into play. But you're you're absolutely correct
(20:23):
with that explanation.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
To what we grow hair.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Indie dot com Darren could be your point person on this.
Everyone it works there is so great. Just get the
free consultation. What's it gonna hurt? What are you gonna
lose except for some of those hats you have to
wear all the time because you're going baldy?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Can I point something out real quick though? I want
to get serious. I want to talk about the integrity
of we grow hair Indy because a lot of my
friends have seen my results and they come to me quietly,
Like Darren, it's very private. I'm open about everything in
my life, but they come to say, hey, will they
help me? I said, one particular for I've sent any
friends up there and they're all happy with the results.
(21:02):
Is static. Another friend I send up and you go,
you're not a good candidate. And you said, we're not
going to do this surgery because we don't think you'd
be happy with it. So I thought that showed a
great integrity on your business, because there's a lot of
clinics out there is going to take your money no
matter what. But you didn't want to disappoint a client.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Yeah, I appreciate that. You know, we've told about that before.
And you do your best to make everyone as happy
as possible. And you know the fact that we offer
every available option. We're not just sort of a one
trick pony for want of a bit of term, considering
that's you know, the weekend there, but you know, so
having different options and in the scenario you were speaking about,
(21:44):
we went the preventative route because the hair loss was spreading.
You could see that the amount of loss he was
going to have was not going to be able to
be addressed with a hair transplant. It could have could
have backed them into a corner longer term. So no,
I appreciate that, and I think that's very important. And
you know, that's how you build a long term business
and practice, and that's something we're really proud of. So
we prot itselves on that.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Well, men and women g yes. Women's hair, they it fins,
they lose it. We growhairindie dot com. You can get
a free evaluation digitally range person.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Thanks Darren, Yeah, thank you, Darren, the great weekend tee
that weekend. God, I appreciate your help.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
You got it. You're right.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Darren's a great guy, by the way, and he will
be your point for everything. And then literally I texted
him a million times after the procedure because I had
a million questions. That's his job and he answered every
single one.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
And listen, in certain circumstances, we need extra hair. Sometimes
my wife has donated her back hair. She's a very
generous person. She's really awesome generous. You know, these custom
made popcorn buckets, there's something for every single movie. I
remember back in the seventies King Kong when that came out. Yeah,
(22:53):
they had a gigantic airplane popcorn bucket. Yeah, but so
this custom of Gladiator too had a gladiator helmet.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I watched it again. Remember I told you I didn't
like it.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I watched it again and I liked it a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah, I was expecting something else. That's the thing about
movies expectation.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Here's the the newest popcorn bucket, and it's kind of cool.
Mission Impossible popcorn bucket.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Johnny's been obsessed with these popcorn BUTX I have are is?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I am a collect This is the fourth time he's
done the popcorn box story. It's like he did what
happened with that popcorn box back in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Well, let's just say that every girl that goes on
a date gets a literal surprise at the.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Stop It stop. Butter is what he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Butter.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It tastes nothing like butter. The Mission Impossible popcorn bucket
is going to be different than the other ones, though,
because the final reckoning the bucket is gonna come with
a key.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What is the final reckoning?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
It's a mission impossible.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
The Final Reckoning, Oh yes, because the whole movie's about
a key.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, so in order in order to open up to
get your popcorn, you gotta have the key. It hits
theaters on May twenty third.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Uh, that's pretty cool. I'll give it then, right, Tom
Cruise is just like that move the first half of
that movie, because I went to see it. Normally, it's
hard for me to go see a movie that I
know they're splitting in two because I'm like, at the end.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I'm not gonna get to the end. I'm not gonna
get the end.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
We don't even watch a series.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Yes, until a series down lows the entire series, we're
not watching it.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Let alone a movie.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Lord of the Rings was the one where I was
I was yelling out loud up the aisle.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Which one which you installment of vorite Lords?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I'm so dumb.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
I spent three hours in that first Lord of the
Rings whatever Fellowship of the Ring. It was three hours
and twenty minutes or something, and and I was like,
who who whoa they're they didn't get to the mountain yet.
And they were like, dude, this thing is in three parts.
And I was like what I was like I got
to spend another six hours to see if the two
midget the two little guys?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Do you get to the mountain?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Do you think pleased about having to wait to get
the ring?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And by the way, how do they get saved at
the end? John, how do they get saved? How do
they get saved? I've not seen Lord.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
All right twice during the series. These giant hawks that
are the size of a seven forty seven or seven
seventy seven, they come and pick them up when they're
about to die. And then at the end, when the
lava is going to take them, they coming out, O
doun't nowhere and grab them. Everyone goes, why didn't they
just carry them to the mountain in the first place,
(25:51):
instead of having the entire journey ride the giant hawk
and throw it into the lava mountain?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Spoken like a true idiot, like a true gag if
you ask me why why? Yeah, It's like in Blank
Man when Blank Man his outfit is totally bulletproof and
he goes back in his alley and they're shooting him.
He's all bouncing off and then we'll finding some Mum goes,
why you just shoot him in the head? Yeah, just
(26:21):
shoot him.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
So that movie.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
I'm telling you, the first one was so good, the
Tom Cruise, the whatever reckoning it. It's that second one.
It might be the last one he does. I mean,
I don't know how much longer he can take this.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Now a normal actor, I would say, You're right. Tom
Cruise is much more than an actor. He's also a scientist.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I heard that, So.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Maybe he'll come up with some kind of thing keeping
active longer. Hey Jefferson Animal Hospital, folks, do you have
a dog, you have a cat, they could be a
lifesaver for others. Listen to this. If your dog's over
fifty pounds, if your cat's over ten pounds, they can
be pet blood donors.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That's right, it's a fat cat.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Pets can donate blood just like you and I can.
But the benefits is even better. Listen to this. Every
time your pet gives a donation, it could save four
to six other dogs and pets lives. That's huge. But
it's not just that. That's not the only benefit of
saving lives and helping others. How about this, there's benefits
for your dog or cat as well, like regular examinations.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Vaccines, and more. If you think that your pet might qualify.
Give them a call. Five zero two nine hundred pets.
That's five hundred and two nine hundred pets. And by
the way, thank you Jefferson Animal Hospital.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
President Trump signs an executive order directing the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting to end federal funding for NPR and PBS.
I don't know how much money they get, because I
know they do fundraising.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I think Big Bird is who we need to contact
on that. Probably, can you get Big Bird on the
phone for us John Off to work on them?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I will say, I will say, this is so the
first answer is like the you know. The person answers
the tweet. He says, this isn't about money, It's about
silencing one of the last nonpartisan.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Just be honest about it.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Yes, I love all my friends over there at uh
A Public Broadcasting, But there it's it's been weird.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It's not even left. It is so far left it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I will mention vision first, Vision FIRSTI care dot com.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That's where I got my glasses.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Uh. Julie Baum had texted me before I went out
to church or down. She had lost her readers. She
goes you have an extra pair of readers.
Speaker 2 (28:50):

Speaker 3 (28:52):
A year and a half ago, I went to Vision
First and got rid of those and I got real
glasses with the readers in the bottom and then the
transitions that TRANSI up top so I can read things
better that are fifteen feet away and they and I've
never taken them off. These pair on my face now
