Speaker 1 (00:00):
We can confirm on NewsRadio eight forty WHS that Santa
Israel and he is about to hear on the studio
here about thirty minutes. We're going to talk to him
because Santa needs a kidney. Yes, and there's a crisis
right now because since all of this mess the last
couple of weeks and we talked about it on this show,
five thousand people have taken their name off the kidney list.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I asked Papa Noel just when he walked in. I said, Hey, Santa,
I gotta ask, why not just get it like an
elf kidney? Evidently an elf kidney won't work right on
a regular human.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, so what I ask, Yeah, kidney, we'll talk to him.
He's doing dialysis three days a week, and if anybody
knows anybody has done that, it's miserable and it sucks
the life out of you. And three days a week,
he's just miserable. This is his day off. So Thursday
is the non non dialysis day.
Speaker 3 (00:51):

Oh, the nice couple over there, they think that I'm
right when it comes to the No. See now that's
a nice couple out there. They're listen. They're on a
picnic table. They're having a nice lunch with each other.
They're making each time you think that this couple over
here is talking about corn dogs or consummation. No, No,
they're just looking at each other's eyes. Probably he looks
(02:44):
like he might have wrote her a nice point.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Will you please stop talking to the people outside of
the window?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Corn dogs and consummation sometimes both stopping myself right there.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, I'm sure I'm gonna butcher this guy's last name
because I'm not up with current movie stars. John Autumn,
maybe you can help me with this.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
We'll see Noah Sentino. Okay, I know Andrew Santino. They related.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I don't know what is he doing?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Well? The Rambo franchise is gonna live on. Oh boy,
best news I've heard all day.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
The last one took place in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, and it was like and he's like, yeah, seventy two.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
He's dying his beard in his hair jet black. Awful.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Lo, he gotta embrace it. I think, right, you think
I've got white all over me. He's such a.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Pitch job with the Creed series and the Rocky series
really kind of went well. The Rambo is just dumb.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You're dumb.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
This past spraying word came down that Rambo the prequel
is in the works. Now it appears that millenni millennium
media star Noah Sentino has been attached to John Rambo.
He's what star, Noah.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Sentina Millennia what millennial millennium media, Millennium media never heard.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Of it, millennium.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I'll get a sobriety see an enemy.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So he's not drunk, he just talks that way. Uh,
Noah Satino has been a tap to play John Rambo.
They're shooting the prequel, scheduled to begin in Thailand over
the next year. Satino has also been seen in films
like Black Adam and Charlie's Angels the twenty nineteen version.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Okay, all right, I don't mind a new Ramble.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I mean a prequel, but I mean prequel Vietnam Vin.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Oh, I'm in then, No, I'm in then, as long
as it's not Stallone trying to kill people at eighty
two years old.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I wonder if they're going to do the thing, you know,
so embarrassing. I wonder they're going to do the thing
where uh Ghost Ramble or Ramble from the future gives
him advice, like he said, the fox goes he like
shows up, you know, how annoying that is.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
He'll be a stallone cameo of some sort.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. You know when they
do these movies John Auden and then you see him
talking to a guy and then it was just like
the entire time. You find out at the end of
the movie the guy that he was having all his
conversations with was his buddy that died.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Happened to me yesterday.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I hate those movies.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I watched an entire movie and I said, if this
little kid is dead, is not doesn't exist and it's
in his head. D I'm gonna throw the remote at
the TV.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
What was the movie?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It was called drives me nuts.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
When they do this, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Another I want to find out was Midnight Sky.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, that sounds stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
And he's the last person on earth because this radiation
is is gone over all the continents and supposedly he's
in uh in Antartica, right, So this little girl was
left behind because when everybody escaped to go back to
their homes to die with their families, and stead of
staying Antarctica, he's by himself. And I said, if this
(06:05):
little girl cutest thing in the world. I said, if
she's if she's not real, and at the end it's
not real.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I hate that. And I also hate when you know
you're watching a movie and all of a sudden you're confused.
You're like, what the hell's going on?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
It's George Clooney, by the way.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
And then you realize forever what a reason. Now you're
twenty years earlier, and they don't tell you that, Like,
you know, if you're gonna go back twenty years earlier,
put a little thing up on the screen. He goes,
wait a minute, twenty years before.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
This, Well, some people can keep up, would you do?
Speaker 6 (06:36):
So?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
The premise of the movie is they found a moon
that previously was undiscovered around Jupiter that is exactly like Earth.
It's smaller but Earth. So they're sending this group of
people to go to this planet. Right, Yeah, they're on
their way back. They don't know that the entire world
ends in three weeks and there's just one guy left.
(06:57):
Two of the people on the on the spaceship decided
to go. When they did a slingshot around the Earth.
Do you understand what that means?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That's when you take a gigantic y shaped stick you
attached a rubber band to it, and you propel something
with the rubber band.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Sure soon the movie Armageddon whenever they destroyed the media, or.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yes, they slingshot around the moon to pick up speed.
So two of the guys just I'm asking you this.
So their families are down there on Earth. Instead of
going to the new planet, they decided I'm just gonna
die with my family and get on the shuttle and
go down. I mean, I think it really brings up
(07:46):
humanity and the love of family and being able to
say I died with my family at home instead of
starting a new world a new planet.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Seth sixty three degrees uh in the river city? Wasn't what?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Wasn't that the what happened? And don't look up the
Netflix movie where they're all sitting around like the dinner table.
And I never watched Down.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I never watched.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I watched it. I thought, with that star Parro, it
might be good. But people are like.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I like this idea. If you're a traveler and you
enjoy a nice canine as some company, look at your
floppy years and your wednows look at you. If you're
a traveler and you, oh, thank you, sparky. If you
enjoy canines but you can't travel with yours, here's a solution.
It's a Phoenix hotel. Watched a new service where guests
(08:38):
can book pet theme rooms for seventy bucks a night.
After payment is made, you have your choice of ten
dog breeds to share your room with.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That's right, Go ahead, strange dog, yeah, is spending the
night with you in the in the hotel.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Oh, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Uh, Please, don't anybody take this down in a dark road.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Unlet's just well, your brain was the only one that
put it there. Well, I'm just saying, frankly, quite frankly,
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Where the dog could growl at you for whatever reason?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
I thought you were even talking in something even more sinister?
What like what I'll tell you in the break?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Like what? I don't what does your mind work?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The dog growl at you? What are you.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So quite terrifying?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
What?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
What on earth did you have on your mind?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's a hotel room us are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Man?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
You make the payment, they send a dog up to
your room you to hang out with, get some stress
relieved by petting the dog and hanging out watching television.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
These dogs don't even know these people, and now they're
expected to spend the night with them.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
How bad would it be if you're the dog and
they say, oh, I got to go over a room
room shovers and it's me.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I hate to tell you this, but there are weird
people in the world, as in weird osee. Can you
imagine what they might be doing to some of these dogs.
No that the dogs don't know these people. I think
it's awkward and weird, and it's going to set up
for weirdos around the world to do weird stuff. This
is a dumb idea and it should be outlawed.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Where in Phoenix Hotel in Phoenix, there's in America, there's
ten different breeds that you can choose from Golden Retrievers, Huskies,
and even West Highland Terriers. Service started in July. Over
eighty guests have taken advantage of the service, making it
a hit.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Baby, Sure it is, you know why, because weirdos are
checking in, They're doing weird things the dogs. You see
the dog can't speak, The dog can't speak for itself,
and say he's touching me? They can't do that.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Doing this conversation, he has no idea what's going on.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I know hopefully this guy didn't go for the dog
option when he stayed in a hotel. An easy Jet
captain is suspended after roaming hotel or a hotel hallway exactly.
Hello drunk and naked. Hello Wow, the pilot was drunk
and naked and he was in the hallways of a hotel.
(11:08):
A pilot for easy Jet has been suspended, reportedly after
doing after his behavior in a luxury hotel. He was
nude and he was hammered. The hall happened to be
at a five store resort called Cape Verde Verde, Cape Verde,
Cape Verde, South End, Cape Verde.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You see whatever you want to How would.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Cap cap Verde? Uh?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
How would Lance McGarvey say, Ahi, before we our take you,
reward you for our marriage lasting thirty three years, Suzanne,
if you repeat to me the four season marriage, I'll
take you to cap.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Verde and you read my poem pull Him that I
wrote for you about Rex Chapman and million you in Burgu.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
And Owensboro.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
After the airline After I hear airline was hit with
multiple complaints the airline decided to ground the unnamed pilot.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Uh, pilots have a lot of stress, man, Yeah, I know,
but they have to take the plane off and land it.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Tom Mabe has done a lot of funny bits, you know,
tons of them.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But one of my favorites. Oh does he just loft
like a pilot and sits in a bar and gets drong?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Oh my gosh. He went to standard Field and he's
got a full pilot outfit. He's even got you on
the big fat pilot briefcase they carry. So he keeps
down and then he starts stumbling down, walking down the hall,
and you see the people just looking at this pilot.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Tom may It hasn't been Stanford Field since nineteen eighty eight.
It's a Louisville International and now it's Muhammad al lead.
I don't change. I don't change standard Field. You're calling
the airport what was called when people had to walk
out on the tarmac and climb the stairs to get
(13:11):
on the plane.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Better days, if you ask me, really? Yeah, there, okay,
there you go.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
They didn't want to change the initials.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Okay, well why not? And you know what, I go
by initials.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Because Littville International airport was too woke for standing Ford Field.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I kind of I like to abbreviate everything. It makes
the work better. Break okay, so uh anyway, Oh, we
gotta get the spots.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, we gotta get to a break because Santa. We
can't make santaway too much longer.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And let me ask you last Christmas. And by the way,
Papa Noel Santa Claus himself at the bottom of the
hour afternoons. But let me ask you, Santa question, did
he ever bring you a puppy for Christmas? Maybe a kitten?
How is that puppy or kitten?
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Now?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Maybe a dog or a cat. They could be a
life saver having blood. That's right, your cat and your
dog can give blood. If your cat's over ten pounds,
your dog's over fifty pounds, they could qualify at Jefferson
Animal Hospital. This is a big deal. Every single donation
can save the lives of four to six other pets. Folks,
that's huge. But there's benefits for you and for your
(14:17):
pet as well, like regular examinations for free, vaccines for free.
Find out if your pet could be saving lives at
Jefferson Animal Hospital.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
We always talk about the frozen pizzas and they seal
them and freeze fries them.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
What's freeze fro? What's freeze fr freeze.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Freeze freeze. But we never talked about the calzones. The

it is.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
It is in a nutshell. We have Santa coming on
here in a couple of minutes. He needs a kidney.
So if you want to give Santa kidney, I don't
know that might work out in your favor.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, you're gonna be covered up with whatever you want
for Christmas after moving forward?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Right?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Do you remember the eighties when women used to wear
the dress a gets with the shoulder pads in them.
I hated it. I was like, why do you want
to look like a linebacker?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
They look like giant triangles walking.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Around exactly even, I mean just it was awful. But
every dress jacket for women had the double breasted and buttons.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
They were like a bright purple or yellow.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And huge shoulder pads John huge right, it sounds gross.
It was a terrible look. What they were trying to
do was make your waist look smaller by yours by
having no shoulder pads. Go out right, but it was awful.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Well, gigantic zoot suits.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Now, guess what the darn South Koreans They always have
taken a step too far? Okay, aren't the one of

injections to copy the look of the K pop idols
Black Pink's Genie.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You keep saying k pop now, I want some skinny pop.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
I might have eaten an entire there's no more left.
I might have eaten an entire box of honeycombs.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I saw that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
He texted me. I, look, there's only such things. There's
always certain things I could share with Dwight. Yeah, other
people understand.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
No, I understand there's certain things. I can only share
it with you too. But I understand this because sometimes
you just can't. With cereal.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I think God wanted me to eat the whole box.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I'm not saying you're wrong at all.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I walked by. I went to grocery yesterday. Jackie's coming
back in town tonight, so I wanted to get some
stuff for her. And I was walked through the cereal
aisle and the honeycomb was calling at me like. I
was like, I haven't eaten honeycomb in twenty years.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
You were panic eating because you were about to not
no longer have the house to yourself.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
You know what never caused your name though, Damn you, John,
He's not wrong. He's not wrong. So I start in
and then I started doing this. I'm laying in bed
watching TV. I have the box under one arm like
a child. I'm pulling out a handful of honeycomb and
(18:22):
placing them on the center of my chest and then
eating them one at a time off my chest. And
then I was like time to reload, and I would
go in and get another pile and put it on
my chest. And I said, I cannot eat this whole box.
And then when I got down to like just four
inches left, I'm like, I gotta finish it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
No, there's no set. That'd be rude if you didn't.
I couldn't stop your completion.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
This with your ferd.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
HET's a completion. I put mine in a belly button
because it's real.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I'm sure Doctor Sad loves hearing this.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
By the way, No, no, honeycoff's heart smart, especially the
whole box. Well listen, it stands If a ball of
honeycomb is heartsmarts, how much better is the whole box?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Remember the commercials it was always boys against girls that
somebody told somebody about the honeycomb hideout right, you hid
the honeycomb at a treehouse it was called the honeycomb hideout,
and the girls would try to attack the honeycomb hide
out to get the honeycomb.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
There's a hole in the side of the wall. Yeah,
never mind.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
So the procedure creates sharp ninety degree angles in the
shoulders that have become a very popular beauty standard.

I'm great? How are you?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Tony?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I do I mentioned this in the break previous. There
has been some idiotic behavior with some people when it
comes to this donation organ donation, and you have y'all
earned sort of a crisis because you said tell me
the number you told me of people that have taken
their name off.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
The list there as of last Monday, we're over five
thousand people in the United States. Kentucky numbers are up there.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Included in taking off the list.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
They have taken themselves off the list because of there
was an article in the New York Times. And granted
I wasn't in this involved in the situation, but I'm
just relaying the information.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Mulligan's is not part of any of this truck.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
What we do is really going to be needed now
is we promote living kidney donation, and now they're doing
living liver donation because it regenerates, and they.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Can do that as well.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
But all the people that are waiting for a deceased
organ this is where it's really going to hurt them.
But we have now done in fourteen years that I've
done this well over seven hundred seven hundred.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Hey, isn't it true though, when you pass away, most
of your organs go to the trash anyway, You don't
take them with you. And I'm off on that or not.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
No, that's true, It's true.
Speaker 7 (22:33):
I always like to quote my grandmother on this. She's
been gone now for twenty years, but she always said,
I came in this world with them, and I'm leaving
with them, and I think now for you don't do
you don't on the track. You know, I believe after
I go, my body will no longer be let somebody
else have ten years off of twenty years.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Well, Dwight's in a different things. They're going to have science.
Science is just going to wonder how this happened.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, they want they want my body just out of
morbid curiosity. It's like I want to pull on Shanna's
beard one more, No, stop, stopp He's gonna look up
Kate Shanna. How you doing, man? Wonderful, wonderful, except you
need a kidney and you're going through dialysis right now,
and talk about how stressful that is. Dialysis.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I think I think everyone needs to understand what DALLAS
is all about, because if you go to kidney sent
her to do your dallasis, you're talking half a day,
three days a week. I do Monday, Wednesday, Friday morning.
So the time you get there get home, you're talking
six hours a day. What you can almost be guaranteed
(23:43):
is the remainder of the day until you go to bed,
you don't feel very good. You feel like you've just
been sucked dry. Yeah, and I'm really, really tired, usually
fall asleep, and I don't wish it on anyone. I've
been doing it twenty eight months. No, I'm walking my
way up the list. But I would love nothing more
(24:04):
than to find a kidney to help me keep going
so I can spend time with the kids for another
ten or fifteen years and other things like that, with
all my miniature farm animals and take care of them
and all the fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
He has a You had a farm and then you're
opening another farm, Santa, what is you're talking about? The minis?
He was telling me what he's gone through three days
a week, sucking the life from you at dialysis, and
then he starts going into all the stuff he's doing.
Like you and I were at the house. We're not
doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
If I spend six hours one.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
And he's done, just drained. But you're doing all kinds
of stuff. Tell us about this mini farm. You're doing well.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I've always liked animals and worked with the kids on
the farm all the years that I did the Corn
Mason Bumpkin Patch, So what I always wanted to do
was to get into something and specialized with miniatures. So
I've been going around the country to find really really
cool little miniatures. Bought a beautiful little horse from a
(25:08):
pastor up in northern Indiana, and he had been taking
it for the last two couple of years. To believe
it or not, walking in nursing homes. Oh oh yeah,
in kindergarten classes and things like that. Another gentleman, I
got a miniature donkey, which is really cool. His name
is black Jack. I was just showing the guys a
(25:30):
picture a while ago. I've got to drive all the
way to eastern North Carolina to get a little miniature
her for cow that stands twenty nine inches miniature cow.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Now, how the heck do you get a miniature cow?
You just showed me a picture of It's the cutest thing.
It's about the size. It's really large. Dog, look at
a cow. How do you get a miniature cow?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Well, a lot of it happens through breeding. There are
in any breed. Sometimes you have a miniature group. I
think probably blurred to what it is for some you know.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Humans, Hey, hey, san, at the risk of getting the cold, No,
at the risk of get yeah coal. I was utterly
blown away.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh utter yeah, we get it. He gets a dope.
Santa's laughing at that because he's Santa and he feels
sorry for you.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
But let's get serious for me though. Let's let's let's
talk about your kidney. Twenty eight months you've been going
through dialysis. I don't know if I can make it
three months through dialysis, just through the the way it
makes you feel the length of the days and the
consumption of your time.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
It starts off with when you get to be my age,
which is sixty eight already. And I wanted to mention
one of the motivations behind me doing the farm animals
is specifically to have something to do and take care
of the animals to give me the exercise I need
to do to stay in the good enough condition to
be eligible to get a donor. Sure, you don't feel
(26:57):
like you want to do anything, but I'm not going
to do like some people sit around and just let
myself wear out and die. I want something to do,
and you're fun to be with. Play with animals.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Right, you're literally fighting for your life.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
That's exactly right, literal.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Fight, Leanne. How's that problem. I'm sorry for san Leanne.
The process that you have sort of created here, and
let's give you the credit that you're due. You started
this with your husband and you were like, he's not
going on dialysis, and you took the reins. You're an
overbearing Catholic mom, a wife, So I get it. I've
married to one, and I've got sisters that are the same,
(27:33):
built the same way. But you started this. Mulligan seven
hundred donations so far, and it began on our show
really seven or eight years ago when we started to
talk about the process of getting the kidney from the
living donor instead of waiting for someone to die. Is
much better and it's a lot easier to do now
than it used to be.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Yes, it was my experience that I learned along the
way finding out that you can be a living kidney
donor and.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
You don't have to be related.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
These are all things that I thought were definitely criteria
that you needed. Once I found out, I realized you
just got to get these stories out and let people know.
As you all know, Aaron are little. She donated a kidney,
and I don't know if you followed her, but she
just gave part of her liver awbody too. She says
to the euphoric feeling that you get just from saving
(28:21):
somebody's life and now she's done it twice, says you
do it again. I will say that, you know it's
a surgery when you are going to, you know, take
a kidney from somebody, Obviously they're going to have a
recovery period. But every one of the living donors that
I've talked to say they'd do it over again. Absolutely,
their recovery, Like I said, about six weeks, but it's
going to give Santa back up to even more than
(28:44):
twenty years. My husband is fifteen years out now because
somebody heard his story that he hadn't seen in twenty
years and came out and gave him a kidney. We've
had a lot of strangers do this as well.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
We've been saying Santa, but he has a name with Jim.
If someone is interested in giving Jim a kidney, how
do they go by that?
Speaker 7 (29:04):
They need to get in touch with me. I'm sure
you all will have it on your website as well.
We have a Facebook page Mulligan's Living Kidney Dotors on Facebook.
We have basically done everything we've done through social media.
We are working on a website as well. Because we
are very we've spread out nationally. Now we coach people
on the phone from California and so on. We have
(29:27):
a little bit of a better situation here in the
Middle America. The wait lists starns long, so we do have,
you know, a little bit of a benefit there.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
But now that we have.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
This article that came out in the New York Times,
and I wasn't a part of this, so I can't
speak about the case, but I can tell you that
to be on the deceased donor list, that is something
that's a personal decision. To be honest with you, it
never crossed my mind un till this happened to me.
But I do want to clarify that there are two
different ways for someone to be declared donation, you know, eligible.
(30:05):
They can either be brain dead, and I hate saying
that that way, but it means they have determined on
all of the scans that there is no activity in
the brain. There is another type of way called donation
after cardiac death. That means that they're showing small signs
up in the brain that maybe they can't really tell,
but the heart. If the heart stops in those first
(30:26):
ninety minutes. They've told the family this is the process.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Da da da da da.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
But they have ninety minutes to see if that heart stops.
Sometimes it doesn't in this case as well as any
other one, they do not start that surgery. There's the
organ procurement process, which is the OPO. They never have
anything to do with the patients right there, they have.
The hospital is the one that makes that decision. But
after ninety minutes, if that heart doesn't stop, then that
(30:52):
person is not that organs aren't taken. This gentleman, he
was never cut open and no organs were taken. Was
there things that were done wrong that we could fix,
absolutely anything.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
But that has nothing to do with what you do.
You are living donors, right, so all the things that
you just describe is not your category. Well, you are
living donors. Where somebody says, I'm gonna give Jim Santa
a kidney, which has happened twice on our show. Somebody
has called and given a kidney. They weren't a match,
but they match for somebody else. That's the thing. Go
(31:23):
get tested. But they can get a hold of you
on Facebook. It's Mulligan's kidney, that's right, get a hold
of you. If you've just experienced kidney issues, you are
the you guide people through that's one of your values
that you do, is you guide people through this crazy
The insurance and the medical field is so screwed up.
(31:44):
The dialysis we've talked about is a huge money scam
for a lot of these companies. There's two major ones
that make forty billion dollars a year doing this, and
you need advice and Leanne. God love you, sweetheart. You
take care of a lot of people and we love
you for it. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
I love you guys for putting me on every time I've.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Got somebody Santa needs a kidney. If you feel like
God or whoever has moved you today by being inspired
of listening to our show, get a hold of lean
and let's get that done. Santa. We wish you all
the luck in the world and I would love to
see that when you get this farm done. I want
to see this mini cow.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Thank you and God bless Santa.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
I'm sure you already know this. Here's some naughty things
that done.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
That's not true. That list. Give me that list first.
That's not what we're supposed to do. Back after this.
Give me the last news radio.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Wait forty.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Oh we're not coming back? Oh good, thank God. Back
after this with the boys, and of course Terry Bider's
coming up at three o'clock. There's Radio eight forty WHA.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I love you, ma,
