Speaker 1 (00:01):
It would be hard and that's the buddiest ural whatever
reason for drinking thing.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Oh, we are getting ready for a performance in the
five o'clock hour from the Ladies of Longford who are
coming in to talk about the Dublin Irish Festival. And
if we're good, if we're on our best behavior, maybe
we get to give away some tickets. But right now,
hot Topics, Mindy is a myrtle beach, doing the show
from there, spending some quality family time. So Mindy hit
(00:27):
us with it. You have found some things that are
crucial must have items.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Bank God, yes, absolutely, But you know what, you had
to stop me because I just heard that intro music
and I was doing the dig in this bedroom of
this beat out.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
How can you not with a little bit of that
kind of arazing?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Exactly? Okay, So as soon as we've gotten here, of course,
I have to either go to the water first, right.
I love the ocean, and I think that each year
when we come to the beach, or each you know,
every other year, or when you get here, you really
can spend that time reflecting back on everything that has
happened in your life. I know, obviously we celebrate January
one as a brand new start to a year. But
(01:07):
Brandy and I have always done that. As we walk
on the beach, we just kind of think and reflect
back on everything that's happened in our lives. And honestly,
a lot has happened in this past year, from the
last summer vacation to this summer vacation. But more on
that a little later in the show. But anyway, So
I come from the beach and then I go to
sit by the pool. Well, I had a hat on,
and I want to take my hat off because I
want to get some sun on my face. So I
(01:27):
put my phone in my hat just to make sure
it doesn't get wet. And then as I get up
to go, I totally forgot and I whipped my hat on.
Phone goes into the pool. Yeah, falls into the pool,
and I thought, oh, no, no, no no, And I'm
thinking of everything that I have on that phone. Pictures priceless,
you know, I mean, you can get contact, but you
(01:48):
know what a pain that is. Literally was falling down
to the bottom of the pool. I grabbed it as
fast as I could to get it out of the water,
and it actually was still working. I couldn't believe it.
I don't know if the technology is updated and changed.
But then later that day, when I tried to charge it,
it wouldn't charge, and I thought I was got and
waters in there. It couldn't do it. So of course,
(02:08):
who do you go to? But you go to your
twenty two year old daughter or twenty three year old
son who knows so much about technology. She's I give
me your phone. I can fix it. I'm like, what
do you mean.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So I can do this?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah? Now, did you notice with Kayla there is something
that she looked up on Spotify and it is literally
titled down to Remove Water from Phone. So you click on.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
That, of all places, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
She got it on Spotify. Because Spotify's on my phone,
down to remove Water from Phone, and it's this this
humming sound. It's just like, oh and it's supposed to
take the water out of your phone so you can
charge it again. And we did this several times through
the night. By golly, at works. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Okay, so wow, So okay, So that is on product
because you said you had two, right, was there something?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Yeah? But it's hot topics because I want you to
give your hot talk and I'm going to share with
this other one kind of a tease for people in
our good news because it's pretty don good news.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, well, tea it up.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Your my hot topic is a little heavy, so tea
years up first.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Oh, it's something that was invented. Oh, it's like a
no brainer. When you are down by the pool and
you have kids by the pool, this is an absolute must.
And I can't believe one of those things that you
think yourself, why didn't I think of that? Why didn't
I think of that? And it would have been so cheap?
But it is so cool. Okay, I cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So that's good news. You're going to talk about it
in good news.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh yeah, that's what I want to say, because I
want you you have time for your hot topic. We
want to share.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, I mean I would be remiss if I didn't
talk about the flooding in Texas with both of us
as moms and have had children. I mean, this has
been breaking my heart mindy as I've been watching the headlines.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I don't know your you're on vacation.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I know how it is to remove yourself from the
news cycle when you're out, so I don't know how
much you know about the flooding and the devastation. I
take it it may have been in front of you
though in some kind of headline.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Well, you're one hundred percent right. I have not watched
any news. I really don't know too much of what's
going on except for our own immediate family and life
right now in North Myrtle.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
So Seventy people are now dead in Texas, including girls
at a summer camp. It's awful. Oh my devastating camp
mystic and Chris feel free to hop on. You've been
putting up updates about this. But mindy, these young girls
were staying at a camp off. I want to say
(04:36):
the Guadaloupe River and the National Weather Service had been
warning throughout the day that flash floods were coming.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
But the problem is there's a lot of debate right now.
I have a friend, a sorority sister from Missoo, who
spent her childhood going to camp off of the Guadalupe River,
just like these young girls. There's a lot of camps
out there. It's Kerr County, Texas, And Chris, are we
at is a death toll at seventy at this point?
(05:06):
That's what you had had up on the screen earlier
during 'all, yes, it's at seventy.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
They haven't there's eleven children and one counselor still missing.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Eleven children still missing and one counselor still missing.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah, as this was as of like two hours ago.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
And of the seventy who died, how many are children?
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I haven't been able to find that number yet.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It was about half and half when I saw it yesterday.
But mindy, this started happening, I want to say Friday
we started learning about it. But the floodwaters started rising
at four a m. Mindy, and just encompassed the whole
camp site. I mean, these folks did not have any
kind of chance to get out unless if they were
paying attention earlier to the National Weather Service.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That is heart renting. I have not heard anything about
that flooding in Texas, and you have to really feel
like it hits home because your boys just got back
from camp. I mean, imagine if you send your kids
to camp, fun summertime program, great time, and then they
never come home.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I have thought about it a lot. And our camp
is not near a river. It's near it has a
large lake, a body of water. I don't know if
I would end up sending my kids to camp that
close to a river, especially the way the weather has
worked over the course of the last few years and
some of the crazy things we've seen. Chris, did you
(06:31):
pull up something else that you wanted to share.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Yeah, there's apparently of the seventy victims, it's going back
and between twenty and twenty two are not unidentified are unidentified.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So it's just heart wrenching. There's a lot of information
out there about how people are donating. President Trump just
declared a disaster zone in that area. He signed that
not long ago. Today it looks like, I mean, just
please pray for the families and families that were lost.
I mean people. It wasn't just girls at a camp.
There were people camping there on their own as a family,
(07:07):
and it just it's it's devastating. So yes, Mindy, it
hit a little too close to home, and I would
I would really question.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Sending kids to a camp near a river. That's just me.
I would question that. That would be really hard.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I am one with you absolutely, especially now after hearing
something like that. I mean, you would definitely double teke it.
You know, that might be a question we have for
Brian has coming up in the next segment because you
know he has devices that protect against fire, does it
also protect against flooding?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And what can you do in that situation? You know,
right if you give that to your kid, I don't know.
There was a lot of things that were missed prior
to those flood waters rising. So is there a way
to keep them safe? Can he use a device like Brian's.
We will, We'll find out.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
And christ you said, though full thirty them warning for
at the start, there really doesn't you know, unless you
were pre warned ahead of time, like maybe ten o'clock
at night, midnight and you know it's coming, but four
point thirty in the morning. It's just that that tough time,
that the sleeping hours where people are not right with
the world. You know, they're not upright out, they're not
moving around.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And people are arguing now saying that the National Weather
Service didn't do enough. That's been one of the things
that people are talking about, and the other folks are saying, well,
the camp didn't do enough to pay attention to the
emergency management announcements that happened earlier in the day before
that four am flood.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
The day before there was a warning, so.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
By far, you know, the greatest number of fatalities occurred
in this Kerr County area where, according to officials, twenty
one kids have died.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So just awful, awful, but please keep them in there.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well you hate to hear the blame being placed too
and something like that. Just just let hearts be heavy
for the victims, you know, don't worry about placing blame
right now. You know what they say, because it will
happen eventually. When you point the finger outward, three more
turned toward you.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Oh I yes, that's a good quote, and this will
We have plenty of time to talk about who's done
what wrong, but you're.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Right now is the moment to drive and.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Give right, all right, Brian Hess Tattletail Portable alarm systems
will talk about flooding, we'll talk about fire and all
the things, including this puck when we come back. This
is what matters.
It would be hard and that's the buddiest ural whatever
reason for drinking thing.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Oh, we are getting ready for a performance in the
