Speaker 1 (00:00):
So yesterday, I man, I got to start with this
because it's a pretty interesting story and something that never
happens to me. But I was in an outing yesterday
out at Meerfield and it was a thing to do with,
of course, the tournament and so on. There are people
who volunteered. There were also media people there because we
(00:20):
had a media outing before. They do this before the
tournament every year, the media outing. So this year we
were rained out, and boy howdy were we Holy cow,
it never stopped raining the day we were there, and
it had rained for like three or four days prior,
so it was about four inches of rain had fallen
on that place, which is why they basically said no go.
(00:42):
They really protect the places. Obviously we're heading to the
memorial and all of that, so all of that's passed.
So we get there yesterday and we do what's called
a shotgun start. So what it is is everybody that's
in the outing, they assign a hole to you and
you go out to the specific hole. We started on sixteen,
which is a Part three one that Tiger chipped on.
(01:05):
He chipped in on I don't remember which year it was.
I should have I guess I should have researched that,
but I the year he chipped in on that hole,
that particular part three. It was before they changed the
layout of the hole, and they changed basically the way
the whole thing works, the way it looks, the way
it plays in all of this. So we we go
up and by the way, I do have I do
(01:28):
have a I do have witnesses. As a matter of fact,
Dave Holmes from ABC six Fox twenty eight, the sports
guy is was it. I got paired with him and
then a couple of his buddies that we were playing
in this. They were down from Toledo or what have you.
I'm not I never did get what they do for
(01:48):
a living, his buddies or whatever. But I was with,
you know, they had put me in that group. So
we're standing on that his the first guy goes, don't
know who, this is a big, tall guy, and he
puts one on the green. It's one hundred and sixty
three yards. He puts one on the green a little long.
Then the next guy goes and he puts one just
(02:11):
on the very front of the green. So then Dave's like,
fire it up, Blazer. So I step up. First swing
of the day two bounces and it bounces off the
stick the pin like clink. I mean, it was like
doink doink, clink, and then dropped right next to the cup.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I mean it's blazer with a hole in. Oh never mind,
I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I was like, why can I just have the hole
in one? And then the one caddy goes Uh that
probably would have went in if it didn't. You just
had a little too much momentum on it. And so
as a result, it hit and dropped next to it,
and I started one under and then uh, you know,
obviously it was a tap in which they didn't even
(02:56):
let me put They're like, get this out of here.
They like swatted away and uh. And then the wheels
fell off after that. By the way I was played,
the next hole was like a double. Then the next
hole was like a quadruple. Bogie was I was like
in the rough, then I was in the sand, then
I was back on the rough, and then I would
be in the sand again. It was like, but after
(03:18):
that first swing, I'd never played with any of these
guys in the group, and they were like, oh, boys,
this is what we got to look forward to today.
This guy's going to whoop some booty, but not the case. So,
but it was amazing. It was almost well almost what
was is one of those things. And I did nothing
but think about this thing all the rest of the day.
(03:39):
Last night, I'm like sitting around just thinking, I'm like,
why couldn't that have dropped? I could have got a
hole in one first swing in front of, you know,
a group, and it was on mirror field.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, you might have been invited to the tournament next year.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Sure Jack would have heard about that and been like,
what teas were they playing again? Cause that for the tournament.
Just to put it in perspective, we're playing from the
teas that are one hundred and sixty three yards right
to the pin well when they play the tournament there,
the tees that they use are called the tournament teas.
They're the very back tees, and it plays about two
(04:12):
twelve from where they play it, so about two hundred
and twelve yards, so give or take another forty what
is that fifty almost like forty nine more yards from
the tees that they're playing, which changes which club you're
going to use considerably. So uh. But the fact that
it bounced twice and then bounced off the pin. Uh
(04:34):
it was uh, it was not to be. I guess yesterday,
but I've never had a hole in one.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And the date was June third, twenty twelve. That was Tigers.
Oh sixteen. You looked at it, yes, yeah, I was
actually watching the video over here as you were describing.
You were think going, that could be Mark, he could
do this.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, because when they play it, the rough is ridiculous.
It's a couple inches long. So anything off of the
fairway is a couple of inches long. Not only is
it almost impossible to get your ball out of that,
it's almost impossible to find it. So that's why they
have the people all up and down the course, all
over the course. When people hitting to the rough, they're
(05:12):
kind of standing there and they can kind of watch
where it goes. Because you could literally walk right on
top of your ball in that rough and you still
can't hardly see it. It's crazy, let alone get a
club on it to try to advance it. So it was,
but you saw, yeah, Tiger chip in there. That's that's incredible.
I was watching that live when that happened. When he
chipped in, He's also chipped in I think on fourteen
(05:36):
he's done some Tiger has played superhuman at jet the
course that Jack built.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But he didn't hit the post with one no like you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
No, he's probably only had you know, ten or twelve
or fifteen hole in ones.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So he's got me there.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And a few more zeros in his bank account too.
There's that. But man, it was crazy. I still can't
believe it happened. Poink point K and everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
No video of course, the Times media people out there,
they were having cameras.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
No I wish, but uh I did have these guys
witness it. So if you know Dave Holmes or you
get he'll verify it. So he was just like whoa, whoa.
They were like whoa. Everybody was kind of going crazy,
and I'm like, I've never done anything like that. I go,
you'll see what because I know what you guys are thinking,
Oh boy, this guy's gonna throw a you know, a
(06:31):
seventy or sixty eight at US today. Wrong. I might have,
but it would have been on like I don't know,
four or five holes from there when I would have
had that kind of score.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
If you were if you were going to be gone
for a day, I'm glad that you had that kind
of day. That's a good memory to have.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah. Man, Then we had a a little over a
two hour rain delay, so right around two thirty they
pulled us off the course. This is also what's interesting.
I found out that the system out there that alerts you,
if you know, the horn sounds when everybody has to
get off the course. The system there automatically. They're not
(07:07):
even in control of it. It's installed, and that system
detects electricity anywhere near the golf course in the air,
and it sounds, it triggers it. So that's what happened,
and we got pulled off the course and within fifteen
minutes or so, ten minutes or so, it started rain.
It's pretty cool. I mean, that's state of the art.
That's as state as the art as it gets as
(07:28):
far as detecting rain electricity. You know, because we were
here in thunder and I could not stop thinking about
those people that got electricity or electricute or hit with lightning.
But by Northland High School, I couldn't think stop thinking
about that because they were out near the soccer course
or the soccer field god I speak. And they if
(07:50):
you'll remember, they said, we didn't even hear thunder. We
didn't hear, but they say, if you can hear thunder,
there's lightning.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And you're out walking around with a bag full of
middle iron rods. Yeah you don't want that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't carrying mine. But still, oh,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
No, no, no, but I know I know what you're
saying there, but it's not like you're holding those up
in the air.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
But anyway, it was it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Was really cool. You know that sounded. We're like, uh,
and then we thought may we're not going to get
to get back out there, but they let us back
out like around four thirty four to forty five. We
didn't finish twel after eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You talk about minimal notice. My little ABC Weather app
went off last night. You get the kids to bed,
quiet evening, sitting on the front porch and says rain
will begin in your area in one minute. I'm like, well,
that's a lot of notice, did it? So? I said
it's hey, Siri, set a timer for sixty seconds, fifty
eight being all right on the forehead. On fifty eight seconds,
I took a rain drop on the forehead. I'm like,
(08:45):
that is ridiculously freaky accurate, no kidding.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, ooh you got and that's the ABC six. Yeah,
that first warning.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It gave me one minute notice that rain was about
to begin in my area. So again, that's probably one
of those stories or showers that just developed right over
me as to a front moving through. Still not as
fancy as what you had up there, but I was
pretty impressed.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
At that's crazy. I've seen those where it's like rain
will begin in three minutes and then three minutes comes
and goes and it doesn't start. Yeah, so I've had
that happen more times than where it's accurate. But that's
that's pretty neat, man, That is pretty neat.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Of course, Marshall also could have been up on my
roof with a squirt gun just to make himself look
good for all I.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Know, and timing and he saw you look at that,
and he's like, I got eight like a couple of
little squirts pull a trigger.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Not like I can miss that forehead.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, some say with us having no hair, I mean really,
the forehead goes all the way to the neck.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yes, it does. My forehead starts at the base of
my spine or a base of my brain comes right
up across the top.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, I've seen people say that. You know, when you
have the receding hairline, you call it a six head,
you know, instead of a forehead, there's a couple of
a couple extra heads that five head. You know. Well,
with us, it's like because all the way to the back.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I guess I used to say that about my belly.
I didn't have a twelve peck. I had a case
party ball. Yeah, who goes it's my version of a
keg is right? It is.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
On a serious note, the just you know, nothing really
to add as far as the flooding that's happened in
Texas and you know, just watching all of the footage
this morning and clearly over the weekend, and there's a
lot of people who didn't have as much reason to
celebrate the fourth like we did here in Ohio and
(10:34):
so on, dealing with all of that stuff, and it's
just it's absolutely shocking how swift and seeing holmes like
moving through the water that were lifted off their foundations.
And you bring up when the kids were singing on
the bus.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Coming back from that was the breaker for me.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Can't misstick, I believe, And it's really gosh, over a
hundred people at this point, and they say in counting,
and it's just really sad, especially as they start digging
into who has lost their lives in this, and you
know that you see the twin sisters that were kind
of highlighted, and some of the other one it's just man,
(11:16):
they go to, you know, and then they start, oh
my gosh. And the one I saw, the one account
where they were saying.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
They were it was.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
A counselor, I believe, and she was there when parents
started arriving to get their kids, and how happy these
parents were to get their kids, and then some of
them were not.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Able to find their kids.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And you just see, you just see those kinds of stories,
and we're going to get more and more as time
goes on here. But I don't even understand what happened there.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
It was crazy. Zach and I were talking yesterday about
the fact that, you know, I got the pool for
the kids, and I had occasion to get in it
myself and I've not been in water before. I'm not
you know, I'm not a swimming pool guy. But sitting
in there experiencing the water in this swimming pool and
how that little twelve foot pool is able to move
(12:10):
me around against my will. I'm trying to sit still
and the waters. To think about those floodwaters, that that's
the power behind something. Who's ready for something like that,
You're that's not something you can even anticipate, No.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Because you're seeing you know, you're seeing full sized vehicles,
you know, just moving through there like it's like nothing.
And even if you're able to stand in that, I mean,
I'm sorry, not because you wouldn't be able to stand.
My point is, even if it was just you know,
three four feet where it would be hitting you in
the legs, you wouldn't be able to stand because of
(12:47):
the swiftness. It's it is insane how fast that that
happened and how fast it's moving. It almost seemed like
movie like, you know, like it was like it wasn't
like it was jem rated by like in some sound
stage or something in the movie. Really really sad.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
We're always looking for all the technology and the laser
beams and all that kind of stuff, but the fact
of the matter is nature is a bear, and we
do not give it enough, do not give it enough respect,
and that what we saw down there, I mean that's Texas.
Texas is not known as a place where flooding is
a big problem. You think about you know the places
(13:26):
that have mountains, Colorado, the the snow melts in the spring,
and and uh, you know our southeastern United States where
a lot of hilly areas and so forth. It's a
whole there's a whole new respect. Now when you hear
flood warning, I suddenly I feel like I'm gonna take
that term much more seriously just from watching what I've
(13:47):
watched happen in Texas, because it's I just I've never
had that kind of respect for water. I didn't think
it was that big a deal until I watched houses
and cars and all those people gone.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, when you hear tsunami and when you hear hurricane,
you know the winds with it, and you know the
flooding that occurs in that you see man as devastating.
But this didn't have you know, tsunami or anything behind it.
It was just gravity, you know, behind it. That's it.
And clearly the flooding itself. But what devastation. You know,
(14:24):
we're did you see We're we are sending some true
uh not troops, We're sending some the highway patrol, yeah there.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And dogs and trainers and so forth to help out
with the searches. Yeah. And iHeart you weren't here yesterday.
I don't know if you saw, but iheartead we've got
a fundraiser. We're just trying to help out there, vetting
the organizations and so forth. It's not like they're just
throwing money at anybody. But it's community foundation dot net
and that is Iheart's official collection. If you will of
(14:54):
funds to do whatever we can. I mean, hell, you
don't know what to do. You just know it's going
to take money. We're gonna have to take care of supplies,
medical issues sometimes just fresh water for drinking, things like that.
So anybody who wants to help out Community Foundation dot
net and it'll go through the iHeart vetting channels and
that way, you know your money is not wasted.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yep, food, shelter, healthcare, and hope as they say. So, Yeah,
very very cool that our company is doing that again.
Community Foundation dot net
So yesterday, I man, I got to start with this
because it's a pretty interesting story and something that never
happens to me. But I was in an outing yesterday
out at Meerfield and it was a thing to do with,
of course, the tournament and so on. There are people
who volunteered. There were also media people there because we
(00:20):
had a media outing before. They do this before the
tournament every year, the media outing. So this year we
were rained out, and boy howdy were we Holy cow,
it never stopped raining the day we were there, and
it had rained for like three or four days prior,
so it was about four inches of rain had fallen
on that place, which is why they basically said no go.
(00:42):
They really protect the places. Obviously we're heading to the
memorial and all of that, so all of that's passed.
So we get there yesterday and we do what's called
a shotgun start. So what it is is everybody that's
in the outing, they assign a hole to you and
you go out to the specific hole. We started on sixteen,
which is a Part three one that Tiger chipped on.
(01:05):
He chipped in on I don't remember which year it was.
I should have I guess I should have researched that,
but I the year he chipped in on that hole,
that particular part three. It was before they changed the
layout of the hole, and they changed basically the way
the whole thing works, the way it looks, the way
it plays in all of this. So we we go
up and by the way, I do have I do
(01:28):
have a I do have witnesses. As a matter of fact,
Dave Holmes from ABC six Fox twenty eight, the sports
guy is was it. I got paired with him and
then a couple of his buddies that we were playing
in this. They were down from Toledo or what have you.
I'm not I never did get what they do for
(01:48):
a living, his buddies or whatever. But I was with,
you know, they had put me in that group. So
we're standing on that his the first guy goes, don't
know who, this is a big, tall guy, and he
puts one on the green. It's one hundred and sixty
three yards. He puts one on the green a little long.
Then the next guy goes and he puts one just
(02:11):
on the very front of the green. So then Dave's like,
fire it up, Blazer. So I step up. First swing
of the day two bounces and it bounces off the
stick the pin like clink. I mean, it was like
doink doink, clink, and then dropped right next to the cup.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I mean it's blazer with a hole in. Oh never mind,
I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I was like, why can I just have the hole
in one? And then the one caddy goes Uh that
probably would have went in if it didn't. You just
had a little too much momentum on it. And so
as a result, it hit and dropped next to it,
and I started one under and then uh, you know,
obviously it was a tap in which they didn't even
(02:56):
let me put They're like, get this out of here.
They like swatted away and uh. And then the wheels
fell off after that. By the way I was played,
the next hole was like a double. Then the next
hole was like a quadruple. Bogie was I was like
in the rough, then I was in the sand, then
I was back on the rough, and then I would
be in the sand again. It was like, but after
(03:18):
that first swing, I'd never played with any of these
guys in the group, and they were like, oh, boys,
this is what we got to look forward to today.
This guy's going to whoop some booty, but not the case. So,
but it was amazing. It was almost well almost what
was is one of those things. And I did nothing
but think about this thing all the rest of the day.
(03:39):
Last night, I'm like sitting around just thinking, I'm like,
why couldn't that have dropped? I could have got a
hole in one first swing in front of, you know,
a group, and it was on mirror field.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, you might have been invited to the tournament next year.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Sure Jack would have heard about that and been like,
what teas were they playing again? Cause that for the tournament.
Just to put it in perspective, we're playing from the
teas that are one hundred and sixty three yards right
to the pin well when they play the tournament there,
the tees that they use are called the tournament teas.
They're the very back tees, and it plays about two
(04:12):
twelve from where they play it, so about two hundred
and twelve yards, so give or take another forty what
is that fifty almost like forty nine more yards from
the tees that they're playing, which changes which club you're
going to use considerably. So uh. But the fact that
it bounced twice and then bounced off the pin. Uh
(04:34):
it was uh, it was not to be. I guess yesterday,
but I've never had a hole in one.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
And the date was June third, twenty twelve. That was Tigers.
Oh sixteen. You looked at it, yes, yeah, I was
actually watching the video over here as you were describing.
You were think going, that could be Mark, he could
do this.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, because when they play it, the rough is ridiculous.
It's a couple inches long. So anything off of the
fairway is a couple of inches long. Not only is
it almost impossible to get your ball out of that,
it's almost impossible to find it. So that's why they
have the people all up and down the course, all
over the course. When people hitting to the rough, they're
(05:12):
kind of standing there and they can kind of watch
where it goes. Because you could literally walk right on
top of your ball in that rough and you still
can't hardly see it. It's crazy, let alone get a
club on it to try to advance it. So it was,
but you saw, yeah, Tiger chip in there. That's that's incredible.
I was watching that live when that happened. When he
chipped in, He's also chipped in I think on fourteen
(05:36):
he's done some Tiger has played superhuman at jet the
course that Jack built.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But he didn't hit the post with one no like you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
No, he's probably only had you know, ten or twelve
or fifteen hole in ones.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
So he's got me there.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And a few more zeros in his bank account too.
There's that. But man, it was crazy. I still can't
believe it happened. Poink point K and everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
No video of course, the Times media people out there,
they were having cameras.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
No I wish, but uh I did have these guys
witness it. So if you know Dave Holmes or you
get he'll verify it. So he was just like whoa, whoa.
They were like whoa. Everybody was kind of going crazy,
and I'm like, I've never done anything like that. I go,
you'll see what because I know what you guys are thinking,
Oh boy, this guy's gonna throw a you know, a
(06:31):
seventy or sixty eight at US today. Wrong. I might have,
but it would have been on like I don't know,
four or five holes from there when I would have
had that kind of score.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
If you were if you were going to be gone
for a day, I'm glad that you had that kind
of day. That's a good memory to have.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Yeah. Man, Then we had a a little over a
two hour rain delay, so right around two thirty they
pulled us off the course. This is also what's interesting.
I found out that the system out there that alerts you,
if you know, the horn sounds when everybody has to
get off the course. The system there automatically. They're not
(07:07):
even in control of it. It's installed, and that system
detects electricity anywhere near the golf course in the air,
and it sounds, it triggers it. So that's what happened,
and we got pulled off the course and within fifteen
minutes or so, ten minutes or so, it started rain.
It's pretty cool. I mean, that's state of the art.
That's as state as the art as it gets as
(07:28):
far as detecting rain electricity. You know, because we were
here in thunder and I could not stop thinking about
those people that got electricity or electricute or hit with lightning.
But by Northland High School, I couldn't think stop thinking
about that because they were out near the soccer course
or the soccer field god I speak. And they if
(07:50):
you'll remember, they said, we didn't even hear thunder. We
didn't hear, but they say, if you can hear thunder,
there's lightning.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And you're out walking around with a bag full of
middle iron rods. Yeah you don't want that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't carrying mine. But still, oh,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
No, no, no, but I know I know what you're
saying there, but it's not like you're holding those up
in the air.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
But anyway, it was it.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Was really cool. You know that sounded. We're like, uh,
and then we thought may we're not going to get
to get back out there, but they let us back
out like around four thirty four to forty five. We
didn't finish twel after eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
You talk about minimal notice. My little ABC Weather app
went off last night. You get the kids to bed,
quiet evening, sitting on the front porch and says rain
will begin in your area in one minute. I'm like, well,
that's a lot of notice, did it? So? I said
it's hey, Siri, set a timer for sixty seconds, fifty
eight being all right on the forehead. On fifty eight seconds,
I took a rain drop on the forehead. I'm like,
(08:45):
that is ridiculously freaky accurate, no kidding.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, ooh you got and that's the ABC six. Yeah,
that first warning.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It gave me one minute notice that rain was about
to begin in my area. So again, that's probably one
of those stories or showers that just developed right over
me as to a front moving through. Still not as
fancy as what you had up there, but I was
pretty impressed.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
At that's crazy. I've seen those where it's like rain
will begin in three minutes and then three minutes comes
and goes and it doesn't start. Yeah, so I've had
that happen more times than where it's accurate. But that's
that's pretty neat, man, That is pretty neat.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Of course, Marshall also could have been up on my
roof with a squirt gun just to make himself look
good for all I.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Know, and timing and he saw you look at that,
and he's like, I got eight like a couple of
little squirts pull a trigger.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Not like I can miss that forehead.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, some say with us having no hair, I mean really,
the forehead goes all the way to the neck.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yes, it does. My forehead starts at the base of
my spine or a base of my brain comes right
up across the top.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, I've seen people say that. You know, when you
have the receding hairline, you call it a six head,
you know, instead of a forehead, there's a couple of
a couple extra heads that five head. You know. Well,
with us, it's like because all the way to the back.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I guess I used to say that about my belly.
I didn't have a twelve peck. I had a case
party ball. Yeah, who goes it's my version of a
keg is right? It is.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
On a serious note, the just you know, nothing really
to add as far as the flooding that's happened in
Texas and you know, just watching all of the footage
this morning and clearly over the weekend, and there's a
lot of people who didn't have as much reason to
celebrate the fourth like we did here in Ohio and
(10:34):
so on, dealing with all of that stuff, and it's
just it's absolutely shocking how swift and seeing holmes like
moving through the water that were lifted off their foundations.
And you bring up when the kids were singing on
the bus.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Coming back from that was the breaker for me.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Can't misstick, I believe, And it's really gosh, over a
hundred people at this point, and they say in counting,
and it's just really sad, especially as they start digging
into who has lost their lives in this, and you
know that you see the twin sisters that were kind
of highlighted, and some of the other one it's just man,
(11:16):
they go to, you know, and then they start, oh
my gosh. And the one I saw, the one account
where they were saying.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
They were it was.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
A counselor, I believe, and she was there when parents
started arriving to get their kids, and how happy these
parents were to get their kids, and then some of
them were not.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Able to find their kids.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And you just see, you just see those kinds of stories,
and we're going to get more and more as time
goes on here. But I don't even understand what happened there.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
It was crazy. Zach and I were talking yesterday about
the fact that, you know, I got the pool for
the kids, and I had occasion to get in it
myself and I've not been in water before. I'm not
you know, I'm not a swimming pool guy. But sitting
in there experiencing the water in this swimming pool and
how that little twelve foot pool is able to move
(12:10):
me around against my will. I'm trying to sit still
and the waters. To think about those floodwaters, that that's
the power behind something. Who's ready for something like that,
You're that's not something you can even anticipate, No.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Because you're seeing you know, you're seeing full sized vehicles,
you know, just moving through there like it's like nothing.
And even if you're able to stand in that, I mean,
I'm sorry, not because you wouldn't be able to stand.
My point is, even if it was just you know,
three four feet where it would be hitting you in
the legs, you wouldn't be able to stand because of
(12:47):
the swiftness. It's it is insane how fast that that
happened and how fast it's moving. It almost seemed like
movie like, you know, like it was like it wasn't
like it was jem rated by like in some sound
stage or something in the movie. Really really sad.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
We're always looking for all the technology and the laser
beams and all that kind of stuff, but the fact
of the matter is nature is a bear, and we
do not give it enough, do not give it enough respect,
and that what we saw down there, I mean that's Texas.
Texas is not known as a place where flooding is
a big problem. You think about you know the places
(13:26):
that have mountains, Colorado, the the snow melts in the spring,
and and uh, you know our southeastern United States where
a lot of hilly areas and so forth. It's a
whole there's a whole new respect. Now when you hear
flood warning, I suddenly I feel like I'm gonna take
that term much more seriously just from watching what I've
(13:47):
watched happen in Texas, because it's I just I've never
had that kind of respect for water. I didn't think
it was that big a deal until I watched houses
and cars and all those people gone.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well, when you hear tsunami and when you hear hurricane,
you know the winds with it, and you know the
flooding that occurs in that you see man as devastating.
But this didn't have you know, tsunami or anything behind it.
It was just gravity, you know, behind it. That's it.
And clearly the flooding itself. But what devastation. You know,
(14:24):
we're did you see We're we are sending some true
uh not troops, We're sending some the highway patrol, yeah there.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And dogs and trainers and so forth to help out
with the searches. Yeah. And iHeart you weren't here yesterday.
I don't know if you saw, but iheartead we've got
a fundraiser. We're just trying to help out there, vetting
the organizations and so forth. It's not like they're just
throwing money at anybody. But it's community foundation dot net
and that is Iheart's official collection. If you will of
(14:54):
funds to do whatever we can. I mean, hell, you
don't know what to do. You just know it's going
to take money. We're gonna have to take care of supplies,
medical issues sometimes just fresh water for drinking, things like that.
So anybody who wants to help out Community Foundation dot
net and it'll go through the iHeart vetting channels and
that way, you know your money is not wasted.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yep, food, shelter, healthcare, and hope as they say. So, Yeah,
very very cool that our company is doing that again.
