Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now, though, we got some good news.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Back in 2004, a firefighter in Colorado Springs named Alan
Kent responded to an emergency call. He ended up delivering
a baby girl named Chloe upstairs at her mother's house.
He was the first person to ever hold her. Afterward,
Chloe's mom brought the baby back to the station to
say thank you. And right then and there, they made
(00:23):
an awesome agreement. Chloe would celebrate her birthdays at the
fire station, and Alan promised to show up for every
single major milestone in her life.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Fast forward 22 years, Alan, who is now retired... traveled
800 miles to Phoenix to watch Chloe walk across the
stage and graduate from Grand Canyon University.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
What an amazing story.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Allen said that in his decades as a first responder,
you see a lot of heartbreak. So getting to watch
this little girl grow up was an absolute blessing in
his life. The deal isn't over yet either, David. Chloe
is getting married at the end of this summer.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And Allen, of course, already has his ticket booked.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Isn't that cool?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Can you imagine if he starts walking her down the
aisle and then passes her off to dad?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Incredible.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
22 year promise and it's still happening. I love this story.
I thought that was really special.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
That is great. Talk about making a commitment.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
And that is your good news, baby.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Very impressive. Let's go to the friendly or not so
friendly skies. Insane in a big plane. Insane in a plane.
All right.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Flight recently from Puerto Rico to Florida. A passenger was
going absolutely berserk on the plane, started making threats. What
he didn't realize was he was seated next to. a
former professional MMA fighter from Chicago.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Oh, no.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So, when it came to having to subdue him and
hold him down..
Speaker 1 (02:05):
No problem.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
How about a jiu-jitsu national champion? He was able to
hold the man down, restrain him, and work with the staff.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
To get him..
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Zip-tied and seated and held him.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Down until they landed in Miami.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I love it. In the ring, they have to tap out.
This guy, zip-ties. He did.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It was crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And again, I just love the odds of sitting in
the same row as an MMA fighter, and you're going
to act crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You're right.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I'm trying to find the guy's name because, oh, Josh Longgood.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Josh, karma is a you know what. I see these
videos all the time of these guys just picking the
wrong fight. And these dudes stand there and they're just calm, cool, collected,
and then whabam, take them out.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Speaking of collected, when the plane landed, Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office
collected 51-year-old Juan Reyes, who was accused of trying to
choke an off-duty flight attendant, trying to open the exit
door on the plane.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Tried to break into the cockpit and tried to urinate
on the floor of the plane's bathroom.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh, this guy's just a model citizen.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Well, that is truly the definition of insane on a plane.
And I'm so glad he got pinned to the mat
and then arrested.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, karma, I absolutely love it. So there you go.
And it's always scary when somebody's misbehaving on a plane.
But MMA fighter to the rescue. Insane in a big plane.
Insane in a plane. This is so bizarre. I want
(03:40):
you to think back, Meredith, years. Okay. Do you remember
when the baby goats were lost and people were looking
for the owner?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Do I?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
This song, we did a song that day live on air,
and it pops up in my head randomly.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And it's been about four or five years.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Four or five years. Owner of a lonely goat. That's right.
I bring it up because here's the headline in today's
Bradenton Herald. Where did these kids come from? Bradenton police
seek owner of goats. This was two days ago. It's
Bradenton police. They discovered two small goats while on patrol
(04:22):
and they're looking for the owner. So I ask you,
as a silly radio station that features local stories, we
couldn't resist owner of a lonely goat. What are the
odds of the exact same situation In Bradenton.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
It's magic, I tell you, David.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
It is magical because the odds of that, I would
guess are low.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You would think. So Manatee County, it's happening again. So
Meredith went back and dug it out. This is a WSRZ,
David and Meredith in the morning exclusive. And we call
it owner of a lonely goat. And this happened live
on the air years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Bradenton, you almost took his life, never thinking about his future.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Little Goat, you're out on 41, taking chances when a loser.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Bumpersuit, they're gonna tackle you, throw you in.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
The county jail, kid.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Check your fog and all the animals You may be
down to go Owner of a lonely goat.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Owner of a lonely goat Much better than a Owner of.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
A broken goat Owner of a lonely goat.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yes!
Speaker 2 (06:10):
No, but seriously, check your farm and give Manatee County
Sheriff's a call.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So stupid.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
The only thing we have to change, you even said
county jail, but it is Bradenton police this time. Okay.
Not the Manatee Sheriff's. That is just uncanny that it's
the exact same story.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
History truly does repeat itself.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Unless we went into some kind of weird Twilight Zone
X-Files episode, it's happening again.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
It's so funny.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
That was great. It's going to be stuck in our
heads again, too.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It already has been, like, following me for, like, four years.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Now it's definitely going to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Much better than now. WSRZ Coral Cove. An iHeartRadio station.
Guaranteed human.
