Hot Car Safety and Awareness

I'm Joe Kramer, composer of Mission Impossible

Rogue Nation. Your mission, should you choose

to accept it, is to listen to this podcast from

the Geekcast Radio Network. You're listening

to the Geekcast Radio Network. Unleash the geek

in you. Fine people happen to be listening to

this. We are doing a little special crossover

here for Geekcast Radio and Altered Geek to talk

about hot cars. And no, we're not talking about

cars that look hot. Hot Rods? Hot Rods? What?

Hot Rods? No, no, no, no. We're not talking about

sweet rides. We're talking about stuff that hurts.

Hot Rods? No, no, no. Oh, no you don't, Megatron.

Yeah. You're gonna ride right in style So alright

basically how this came about folks is you're

gonna hear a clip with my buddy Jesse Raz from

a local radio station here in Louisville, Kentucky

1069 play and What he did earlier this week was

he won. This has been done before this is not

a new thing Radio DJs have done this stunt before,

but because summer is coming up and because of

some of these staggering statistics, uh, in the

last year for this, he wanted to show the effects

of sitting in a hot car. And essentially what

he did was he, he filmed it. He Facebook live

did, he did a radio broadcast of this, uh, here

in town, uh, at - Did he actually steal the car?

No, it was the radio station vehicle. Why would

he steal a vehicle his company owned? You said

it was hot. Oh God Okay, so He went in at 8 a

.m. Monday morning June 6 2016 6 6 16 Which I

point that out to him in the clip you're gonna

hear in a moment At 8 a .m., spent about an hour

and 15 minutes in the car. thing that he had

in there was his, his phone and his GoPro and

he had some water and some other stuff, but essentially

the car was turned off and he's basically, basically

it's to show everybody, Hey, you need to look

before you lock. You need to make sure your kids

aren't left in the car, your pets aren't left

in the car. And basically, how do we prevent

that from happening? So you're going to hear

that. And then I am going to talk Steve and Michael

through, you know, the, the rest of the discussion,

as far as them both being parents. and what their

opinions are of this and all this and all that.

So we're going to get to Jesse and I talking

about his hot car experience after this. All

right, 1069 play. It's the morning play with

Jesse and MJ. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome

to a special episode of GeekCast Radio. This

will be on GeekCast Radio and AlterGeek. I am

one of your hosts, TF2 and Mike, and we're doing

this episode because here in Louisville, Kentucky

on Monday, 6 -6. I know. I know, right? Yeah,

that was a little, that was a little, ah, 6 -6

-1 -6. Thank God for that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

6 -6, yeah, well, 6 -6 -0 -6, 10 years. So on

June 6, 2016, here in Louisville, Kentucky, at

one of the local radio stations, 1069 Play, one

of the morning show hosts, Jesse Rez, say hello.

Hello. Hello. They wanted, how did this conversation

first come up? Well, so we're a new show. Right.

And so it's one of those things, kind of behind

the scenes, you know, you start asking yourself,

who's your audience? How do you connect with

your audience? We do a lot of fun stuff. I've

been on here once, I've talked with you once

before. With comics, yeah. Comics. I'm a big

nerd, and I'm just one of those people that likes

to make sure that everybody around me has fun.

Right. So we do a lot of that stuff, but sometimes

it's like, you know, Not everything's fine. How

do you you know? What are the issues that your

audience are in? I'm also a new dad Yeah, and

you know every year there are all these stories

about how kids are left You know most of the

time the big stories that you hear about are

parents that forget They have their kids in the

car and they get left in there and they pass

away here locally There was one it was a van

And that was a daycare worker that had left a

kid here. And so that had just happened. We were

in a meeting, and I was like, we should put me

in a hot car, which is not a new thing. There

have been other people that have done this sort

of thing. I was like, but it hasn't been done

in a while. And it's something that. Plus summer's

just starting, and we want to get awareness.

You wanted to get awareness out to people about.

Well, one of the things that we found from a

couple of our experts was. One, usually when

this occurs, is it occurs when there's somebody

different taking the kids to school. So during

the summer, if the kids aren't going to school,

they're going to a daycare, they're going to

a sitter's, maybe it's a grandparent, maybe it's

an aunt, uncle, maybe it's a friend that's dropping

your kids off. So that's a new routine. So anytime

you interrupt your regular routine and you have

something like that, there's always a higher

likelihood of you forgetting. Especially if kids

fall asleep. And so, like, as a matter of fact,

for an example, I had a friend who, she told

me on Facebook, she was like, you know, we have

a couple kids, my husband has a couple kids,

we had all the step kids with us, and we went

to this park, and everybody was excited, everybody

was excited, everybody got out of the van, and

we got there, and it wasn't for about five minutes

that I looked around and I noticed one was missing.

Well, come to find out, and he was asleep in

the back. They just, you know, it wasn't something

intentional. He was fine, but it wasn't something

malicious. She's not a bad parent. It was just,

hey, I have, normally I have three kids. Now

I have six. And I don't think to count. Just

like a lot of these cases, it's not, they're

not necessarily terrible parents. They just...

they forget or they something that they get distracted

and so that was really it wasn't really about

placing blame it was really about hey think about

that so one of the things that we talked about

is a phrase look before you lock So, look back

there before you lock. Put your cell phone back

in the backseat where your kids are, especially

if they're in car seats. If they're not in car

seats, then that gets a little problematic because

they'll grab it. But then they'll probably be

reminding you that they're back there anyway.

But put your cell phone back there because you're

not supposed to be on it anyway while you're

driving. In Kentucky, some people throw their

shoe back there. Some people put their purse

back there, whatever it is. Just a reminder to

look back there. So, that was sort of the...

the fruition of it. That was where the idea came

from. Like I said, I'm a new dad and I, you know,

it's funny. I have all these opinions before

you become a parent, you have opinions. And after

you become a parent, you have opinions. And that's

one of the things here is that we are, the reason

why I'm doing this with Jesse is because I'm

going to have our other guys come on after we

do this part of the episode. Steve and Michael

Michael Wilson Steve Steven C Phillips is the

co -creator for all of you know the co -creator

juice yarn, but he has two kids He has two boys

our other co -host that's doing the Phineas and

Ferb show be like Wilson He has two boys, so

I'm gonna have them listen to this part. Hopefully

they will and then going to Facilitate there

we go. It's also a discussion between them based

on what you're telling us now I mean, it's one

of those things You know, my opinions haven't

changed that much since having a kid, although

I will say that not to get on this tangent of

the grill in Cincinnati, but you learn that all

it takes is for one instance of being human,

for a kid to do something, for a kid to get hurt,

for a kid to get lost, and that... doesn't always

mean they're bad parents, they're bad people,

it just means they're human, or that kid is really

fast! I mean, heaven forbid! You know, and that's

kind of what we were talking about here. The

other instance of this that we really wanted

to draw attention to, and... I grew up in an

era or a generation where parents did this, but

you know the whole, I've got my kids with me,

I just gotta run into the store, I don't wanna

take them out, I don't wanna put them in the

car, I don't wanna hear them, oh I wanna buy

this, it's a five minute trip, they'll be fine

for five minutes. What I found is... Just how

quickly the temperature jumps in the car so it

peaked at about a hundred degrees in there at

one point So just to give everybody some background

here Jesse went in Monday morning June 6th at

8 a .m It was 60 degrees here in Louisville at

8 a .m. On Monday June 6th You came out of the

car at around 9 39 45 9 30 ish 9 is like between

9 15 and 9 30 right? So basically, he sat in

a hot car for almost an hour and 15 minutes or

so, and you saw the temperature fluctuate as

the sun moved, obviously. So there were a couple

things. We had medical staff on hand, because

I'm not an idiot. So we had experts there from

the local children's hospital. We had an expert

from the Humane Society there, too. And we also

had a a sergeant from the Louisville Metro Police

Department there, too, to talk about some legal

issues, which were a couple of interesting things

I'll bring up here in a second. So I sat in there

for an hour. I did the radio show. I also Facebook

Live'd it, which added another degree of difficulty

that I didn't think of, because here I am trying

to conduct a show. And then in the meantime,

I don't have an off. I have this camera here,

and I have these people. So I was exerting more

effort. So I was getting really tired. And it

was getting really hot. But you may think that,

oh, I'm going to leave them in the car for five

minutes. It's fine. It's not that hot out. Well,

your car, it's the greenhouse effect. Once it

gets hot in there, there's no place for it to

go. Even if you crack the windows, it still gets

very hot in there, especially in direct sunlight.

So in the direct sunlight, it got up to about

100 degrees, and it was climbing. Well, then

the sun kind of went behind. some clouds, and

then the temperature lowered a little bit, so

it sat at about 80, 89 degrees for most of the

time that I was in there, which is still not

very comfortable, especially if you're talking

about a young kid. I'm an adult in my very early

30s, and so my tolerance to that is much higher

than, say, a newborn, a two -year -old, a three

-year -old, a four -year -old, you know. As a

matter of fact, I was only in there an hour 15

minutes because they pulled me out I wanted to

go longer for the sake of the show and for the

sake of everything But I got pulled out by experts

because they they said right the reason why you

got pulled out and you asked you know what was

the symptom of this and I didn't get a chance

to tell you when you did this, but Basically,

at about the 915, 920 mark, you had said you

started getting chills. You started getting cold

chills. Yeah, I started getting chills down my

arm. That, to me, is like if you have a fever

that your temperature is so hot that you start

getting chills. Now, the thing that I would have

wished that you guys would have had is... A body

as a... Like one of the eye, whatever, to tell

us what your body temperature was. Yeah. We didn't

end up, we were gonna try to have that, it just

didn't work out. But from talking to several

people, that could have been, I can't guarantee

it was, but that could have been one of the beginning

signs of heat stroke. Because I wasn't really

in, I'm not a big sweater. Yeah, I don't sweat

that much. Unless you have a cap uniform on.

Well, that's true. But even then, I'm not one

of those people that you look at, and I can be

very hot, but my shirt's not soaked. Right, yeah.

And so, I don't think I was ever in any danger

of dehydration, but it was still - And you did

have a little bit of bottle of water in there

with you. Yeah, just in case I needed it. But

it was a little surreal. And I went back and

watched the video, because I didn't think I was

that bad. But I looked at the video I noticed

I'm starting to get really flush and my speech

was slowing down And it was I remember it was

a little it's getting hard to think yeah So it's

just interesting in that hour the progression

that I went through now if you had a kid in there

If you had a if you had a small child in there

They're not gonna be happy. So they're gonna

be crying. They're gonna be screaming Which is

gonna be accelerating their heart rate, which

is gonna be making it even warmer and they're

in a car seat Which is gonna be which is more

insulating too. So that if they had been in there

for that same hour There could have been permanent

damage or they they honestly they could have

died if they if they had been in that and that

was just in the Shade so, I mean, that's the

other there's several misnomers. It's like well

I can leave him in there. It's in the shade.

Well, yeah, so that's the difference between

88 degrees and 100 degrees. You know what? That's

apples and oranges at this point. I can leave

my kid in there with the car running. Well, that

creates a couple of problems. One, what if somebody

comes and steals your car? Now your kid's gone

and your car's gone. Two, I found this out about

the state of Kentucky. The state of Kentucky,

it's illegal to leave your car running unattended.

That takes, I mean, that really is a big deal

in the winter when everybody's got their auto

starts or trying to warm up their cars. But Kentucky's

not the only state with that law. I know there

are other states with that law, but that's another

thing. And that kind of also translates into

pets. That was the other thing that we were talking

about too, because it is never safe to leave

your pet in a hot car, unattended, period. It's

just, it's not. And there's a picture going around

of Hey, don't smash the window in my car. My

car is on he's got ice water. He's listening

to whatever band and That's still not safe for

the a it's illegal again because at least in

Kentucky yeah B someone can steal your carpet,

but see You don't know what's going on in there

with with the pet I mean they could be getting

scared they I mean there are a lot of things

bottom line Just just don't if you can't if you're

going someplace that you can't take your pet

and leave at home And I would say that about

kid get a sitter. Yeah And it's someplace that

you don't want to bring your kid into. Now, if

it's something where both parents are in the

car with the kids... and just the mom wants to

go into Joanne's or whatever else. And we do

that, but again, the car's running, somebody's

in there with them, so it's more controlled.

It's not like we're leaving them in there by

themselves. I mean, because my wife and I will

do that sometimes. It's like, you just want to

run in and I'll sit out here with him, and that's

fine. And that was the same thing with my mom

and I when we had our dog Snow White and all

that. Either I'd run in or she'd run in or whatever,

and most of the time it was me running in. I

am the, to sidetrack a little bit, I am the fastest

grocery shopper I know. I go in, I know what

I want, I get what I want, I don't, I look at

price, but I mean I'm not buying like a $50 bottle

of Pinot Grino or whatever, it's like. Well,

you live by yourself, so you know, okay, I'm

hungry, I want this, I want this, but that's,

you know, I'm glad you mentioned that, because

a lot of times what happens is, and everybody

falls victim to this, okay, I'm gonna be gone

five minutes, you go in the store. My dad was

notorious about this growing up. I'm going to

the hardware store. I'll be back in five minutes.

20 minutes later, he's ran into two people he

knows. He's had to go search him for parts. And

then all of a sudden, that five minute trip that

you're like, oh, the kid in the car turns into

20 minutes. And now they're severely dehydrated.

There's heat stroke. 25 kids last year died.

Nationwide nationwide so between the ages of

like newborn and four years old from heat related

injuries Because they were left in a car that

is that is an astounding number I mean if you

look at the amount of people per capita you're

sitting there going 25 that mean that's really

that's not too bad It's 25 deaths of children

that could have been avoided because either somebody

didn't look at the back of their seat Or someone

decided that they were just gonna leave their

kid in the car like that those are that's a statistic

that shouldn't exist Yeah, that's unacceptable

to me I mean, there are a lot of unavoidable

deaths out there. There are a lot of things that

are just pure accidents. That is one that is

so easy to prevent. It just is. It's not something

that... How crazy have we become as a society

that we get so distracted that we forget that

there's a child back there. And I'll be honest.

I get up at 3 .30 in the morning, out of the

house at 4 o 'clock in the morning. I'm a morning

radio host. So I go into autopilot mode when

I'm driving. I know a lot of people do when they

go to work. They drive that same route. They

just kind of, they zen out. They're listening

to whatever they're listening to, maybe a podcast,

music, whatever. And if the kids asleep in the

car, you can forget. I can understand getting

to work and... Getting your work because I've

done this I've got someone like oh crap I'm supposed

to drop him off and then turning around I cannot

understand parking getting out of the car and

then not even Taking a notice of what the heck

is back there like that that blows my mind. Yeah

Well, that's one of the you know when I was growing

up, you know my mom I don't remember a lot of

when I was young young like four or five six

that kind of stuff But I remember my mom my aunts

and all them my grandmother didn't drive but

everybody all the other women in my family they

would always put wherever I was wherever I or

my cousins or whoever like okay say we're in

a car here and I know people can't see this guy's

audio but say you're driving I'm in the passenger

seat and you get a kid here and a kid here so

for us when I was younger it was either My mom's

boyfriend or her job to you know if this person's

in the passenger seat, okay? You get those the

kids in the driver's seat Yeah, and then vice

versa with the driver getting the kid that's

in the in the back passenger seat And it's one

of those things where I just can't see how You

don't look back there The other thing I was mentioning

and get sidetracked yeah, the the women in my

family no matter who was in the back seat whatever

kid Whichever like one woman would put the purse

on the driver's side the back of the driver's

side and vice versa the driver would put the

so they would have to then look back there and

and do that and so there's there's a couple of

tips that we picked up and You know there are

actually apps that out there if you've got Bluetooth

in your car It'll sync up there, but I think

I think if you have to go the app route that

it You're you may be a little far gone if you

have So as I said earlier You know if you're

if you're a woman or if your guy who carries

a purse no judgment Put your put your purse or

your backpack or something that you have to grab

before you get out of the car back there Maybe

your cell phone some people have talked about

throwing their left shoe back there because you

need your right to drive whatever And then you

have to go get it that makes for a weird get

out of the car, but if it works it works Some

friends of mine do a really cool thing when one

of them has to drop the kids off, they text the

other one when they do. So my friend Tim's wife

will know, okay, it's five after and he hasn't

texted me yet. I better check in on him and make

sure something's, they didn't have car problems

or whatever, because she knows about what time.

So they have a checks and balance system with

each other, which I think is probably one of

the smartest things. Especially for young couples

like that, especially because it's one of those

things where, It's also okay the parent dropped

the person on you know the child off, but letting

the other parent knows okay? X kid is that this

day yeah, and that also? alleviates the thing

of Oh my god, where's my kid? Does the daycare

have him? Does the daycare not have him? And

some daycares in small cities will call and say,

hey, so -and -so didn't drop this kid off yet.

And so that's nice, but not at all. It depends

on the size of the daycare, really. Yeah, it

really does. But it was an interesting experience.

I'm glad I did that. Really, I was very fortunate

because I think it pulled me out before any major

effects. I Joked yesterday. I was like there's

a reason they call it heat exhaustion. Yeah,

I got home and I just I passed out I was so tired

and It's I guess the I guess the thing that was

surprising to me the most about being in that

car for you know an hour is Just how quickly

that thing heats up and the interesting thing

when you get it because you guys are originally

I said this up the Friday before Well, yeah So

were you going to use, and people that are listening

aren't going to care or know what I'm going to

ask you about this, but did you guys specifically

have it set to use out of the Big Four Bridge,

or didn't you originally have it set to use at

the parking garage by the station? Well, originally,

there were a couple things. This is a little

behind the scenes behind the scenes. So we needed

an area that got sunlight, because it's the sun

that heats up the car. Could have sat the Friday

that we were gonna do it. It was like Stephen

King kind of fog like yeah Louisville, Kentucky

is right there on the Ohio River and so right

across from Indiana could not see Indiana through

this fog. That's how thick it was and There's

no skyline over there. Anyway, we don't you see

So now the temperature of that car it was 78

and it was 63 outside. So it was still hotter

than it was outside. But for the sake of the

show, for the sake of proving a point and all

that stuff, we wanted to wait until there was

sun and it was warm out. Now, that being said,

we did drive home the point that just because

it's overcast and not very sunny doesn't really

make it safe because there are like 76, 78 degrees

in there. That's still not comfortable. And for

a protracted period of time, that can still do

damage on a little kid. And I want to say that

this isn't, OK, yeah, we're doing this. I'm having

Jesse over to talk about this. We're going to

have Michael Wilson and Steve talk about this

later. But it's one of those things where, yes,

summer is almost here. But this isn't just a

problem in the summer, folks. This is also a

problem in the winter, because you have the reverse

effect of hypothermia. But you know what? I don't

think, honestly, I don't think most people, I

think the cold is a little bit more. of a reminder,

I guess. I don't hear so much about kids being

left when it's cold outside. I don't know why

that is, I don't know what that says about our

thinking. I don't know, because I know a lot

of times when I was younger, November, December

up in Massachusetts, if my mom needed to run

in the store, she would. It may be a primal thing,

cold equals... Bad, yeah, I don't more maybe

cold at least in this area of the country cold

makes people uncomfortable I don't know maybe

when in areas of the country where it's much

colder all the time. Maybe it's kind of the same

thing Yeah, but either way with those temperature

shifts. It's so it's still not good to do that

because I you know on the low end I'm sure kids

can freeze just as quickly as they get heatstroke

and But going back to your point about us sort

of changing the dates We chose the area we chose

because it's easy for media access for any other

people. We were going to do it on the side of

a parking garage, which would have gotten much

hotter. But to get TV coverage and things like

that, that's one of those things that when you're

doing one of these things, yes, you have all

this goodwill. And we really did want to bring

awareness. But we also wanted to attract media

attention for a couple of different reasons.

But one of them is radio has a certain pull.

But when you get radio and TV involved, then

it gets bigger than it is. And that was really

our goal, is just to put that in the back of

people's minds. And God bless the people on Facebook

Live that sat there and watched me suffer. Because

I sat there, and first off, it was boring as

hell. Because I'm sitting here trying to think

of something to say for an hour. We'll see the

problem with it. See, this is what... Wish you

guys would have done this the way you do normally

do remotes Where you said, you know, you have

a segment monkey back in the station just pushing

buttons. Well, that's what he did We did have

somebody like that, right? But it almost felt

like I don't MJ was out of the car his co -host

MJ She didn't want to participate which is fine.

That's that's whatever but she was out of the

car with everybody else standing around Yeah,

so that part was a little weird if you weren't

And I'm sitting there watching this Facebook

Live video and I'm like... Yeah, because there

are lulls where I'm just kind of sitting there

and I'm trying to talk. So the question I had

was, this is a remote broadcast and she's outside

the car, so to me there wouldn't... I don't know,

you can tell me. I don't think there would be

any echo, but I'm like, why doesn't he just have

it coming out of the speakers so we can actually

hear it? I can tell you exactly why that is,

because we talked about that. You mean the car

speakers? Yeah. Because we don't want the car

on. Oh, that's right. Because there's no reason

to have the car on. Because then a couple of

things happen. One, you're getting the heat from

the engine coming through. That's normal. And

two, again, people are like, well, he has the

car on. Does he have the heat on? Is he really

exaggerating this? So that's why we did. Honestly,

the nights before this, I was sweating, no pun

intended, because of the technical aspect, because

that was a little tricky, because we have to

have microphone and headphones. Oh, something

I forgot to mention, speaking of technical. So

I had my phone on there, Facebook live, I also

had a GoPro set up. The GoPro quit 20 minutes

in because it got too hot. What was it, like

95 degrees? That was right when it picked up

at about 100. And the GoPro shut down because

it was too hot. So that was an interesting situation.

So it's one of those things I'm glad I did. I'm

glad I did it. And I hope that it... Yeah, I

said this on the air. If this prevents one kid

from being left in a car and potentially dying,

then I think it was a great success. Absolutely.

So people... Summers coming up doesn't really

doesn't matter that summer or not, but summer

is coming up. Just don't leave your kids in the

car Yeah, just don't leave your kids in the car

like Jesse said earlier get a babysitter or you

take them with you It's a no I trust me I have

I have a kid I have a six month old and he's

not at that stage where he's Verbally asking

me for stuff any crabs and stuff and he has a

lot of crap to take in with him that car seat

is heavy I understand, you know what, it's five

minutes in or it's 15 minutes because I gotta

get his stuff out, pack him in and pack him out.

I understand that. One last thing that I will

mention, and I, because I never thought of this.

So our nurse from the local children's hospital,

Coast Air Children's Hospital, she said, she

goes, always make sure to lock your car when

you're at home. Because. If you've got kids,

especially if your car is outside, even if it's

in the garage, you've got kids running around

playing hide and seek and all of a sudden you

can't find them. One of the first places you

need to look is the trunk of the car because

kids like to get in there and hide. It's a dark

spot. No one's ever going to find you. I mean,

sitting in a hot garage or even outside, that's

just as bad, if not worse, because it's a small,

enclosed little hot box. So I never thought about

that. Yeah, see, that was the thing. And I know

you said you wanted to use direct sunlight. That

was the thing that was going to be most interesting

to me if you guys had done this on the Friday,

because you said you rented it at the parking

garage close to the station. Well, I did. Well,

it's funny, is I did run some dry runs on the

parking garage, because I wanted to see incrementally

about how hot it would get. So one day. It was

the week before. It was 68 outside. It was 86

on the inside at 8 o 'clock. OK. And that temperature,

the highest it got at 10 o 'clock, it was 117

degrees in that car. At 10 o 'clock. Yeah, it

didn't get quite that hot where I was at. But

where I was at was probably a little bit more

indicative of the low end of how hot a car can

get. And let's keep in mind too, this was 8 o

'clock in the morning to about 10 o 'clock. 8

to 10 a .m. Yeah, this is not in the heat of

the day where average person is going out So

it's dangerous in that low heat sort of Sun is

kind of a way sort of the time of the day I never

would have made it out They would the pyramid.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, they would have never let you

but you never tried any afternoon dry runs a

week before If it just to see the difference

if at 10 o 'clock in the morning it got to a

hundred and seventeen degrees I don't need to

do any of that. I know it's already dangerous.

I mean, I could have probably on certain days

in June, I could probably put a damn fried egg

on there or some bacon or something on those

things. But it's it seems stupid, but it's common

sense. And again, kids die from this. Yeah, it's

not it's not good, folks. So, you know, if you're

a parent, whether you're, you know, married with

kids or whether you're single with kids, always

make sure you look before you lock. I love that.

And one last, I said last thing earlier, but

this is something interesting too. If for whatever

reason your kid gets locked in the car, I had

a couple of friends of mine that their daughter

liked to play with the keys and she was sitting

in her car seat and she locked the car while

she had the keys inside. Do not try to pick the

lock, don't try, don't sit there and try to do

something. Call either 911, because a lot of

those officers actually carry a Slim Jim with

them. Not all of them, but a lot of them do.

Or call Papa Lock. And actually certain, I heard

a rumor of this, don't quote me if it's not true,

but I've heard that if it's a situation like

there's a kid in a car, Papa Lock's not gonna

charge you. But, unfortunately, the difference

between 9 -1 -1 and Pop -a -Lock is Pop -a -Lock

sometimes can take 30 minutes to get there. If

you've got a kid in there, and that's all you

can do, I would probably bash a window in if

it were me. But if you call 9 -1 -1, a lot of

times an officer can get there in 5 to 10 minutes

versus that. But don't try to figure it out yourself.

Call the authorities first and just say, hey.

I accidentally locked my kid in your car. They're

not going to immediately open up a child protective

services order on you. It happens. Now, if your

kid accidentally locked themselves up in the

car at a bar, then they might start asking you

more questions. But otherwise, call the authorities

first. Absolutely. All right, folks, I want to

thank Jesse for taking the time to stop by. You

can, if you're in the Louisville area of southern

Indiana, you know. Well, if you're, you know,

you can find us, we, 1069 Play is the radio station.

1069play .com. That's our website. You can find

me on Twitter at Jesse Rass. Only one S at the

end. There is no ass in Rass Bussin. I do enough

of that myself. So you can hit me up there. You

can tell me I'm full of it when it comes to this.

You can say that was stupid. You can say whatever

you want. It's Twitter. All I can think of is

the guy from Heavy Gilmore, you jackass. That's

right, folks. Don't be a jackass and leave your

kids in the car. Alright, like I said, we're

going to transition over to Steve, myself, and

Michael Wilson to kind of have them respond to

this and their experience with it and all that

stuff. By the way, big fans, guys. Thank you.

I will have all the links, I will have the link

to Jesse's video if you guys want to check that

out, link to the website, link to COSER. I can

send you the hospital link, I can send you the

Humane Society link, anything you want and if

there's anything up there that you can hit me

up on Twitter at J -E -S -S -E -R -A -S. I'll

be happy to point you in the right direction.

Just bottom line, save some lives this summer.

That's right, absolutely. It's a good thing your

life was saved, because if not, Rick would have

had a Springfield day. He would have stolen my

girl. Yeah. You did not just say that. He said,

well, a vault sparked. I'm like, all right, well.

This is bad comedy. All right, folks. That was

Jesse and I talking about his hot car experiment

here in Louisville, Kentucky on 1069 Play, one

of the local radio stations here. Now. The reason

why Steve and Michael are here is because they're

both parents, they both have, they each have

two boys of their own. Have you guys ever, like

what is your experience, have you ever found

yourself forgetting one of your kids in the car?

Steve? Never. I am so paranoid when I get, really

when I go anywhere. There's no way in hell I

would forget my kid. I'm one of those paranoid

people that I'm constantly looking over my shoulder

while I'm driving to make sure I brought them

with me. So we're not gonna see your car driving

down the street with the with the car seat on

top of it, right? Yeah, the kid waving at me.

Why is that car seat on top of Steve's car? Yeah,

I didn't know he had a sunroof. Let's drop him

down. That's the economy seat, kid. Yeah, but

I mean like there's no way I could ever forget

my kids. Like no way. Yeah, I think we're all

kind of helicopter parents at this point even

the people who won't admit it where we're constantly

Keeping an eye on our kid if our kids gone out

of our sight for more than a few seconds It's

like whoa I must helicopter in place until I

find that kid and just kind of spin around for

those who can't see me I'm spinning in place

Looking for my kid because I I'm afraid they're

gonna hurt themselves Now have either of you

ever said to yourself, oh, well, I need to run

to the store I'll be five minutes and then you

just you know You just do that and your significant

other is not around That kind of thing cuz that

also will happen parents will say I'm gonna run

to the store and I gonna run in and oh my kill

be fine Store exactly does not allow children.

I'm confused. It's more It doesn't want to take

the kid in the store. Yeah because they're thinking

I'll be in there two seconds. I'm confused. Is

the car seat too heavy? Is the little kid not

going to follow them? Are their fingers broken?

Can they not have a small child hold onto their

hand as they walk into the store? Some parents

in this generation are lazy, though. No, no,

no. I just explained how. The parents the other

parents that I know and again, you know this

It's a nice neighborhood, right? So all the parents

that I know are helicopter parents. They're all

like, where's my kid? I can make sure my kids

my line of sight because I don't want them getting

stolen by bad people Because they all lurk in

the corners Yeah, but you'd be surprised how

many parents are not like that. I mean Jesse

said You know you'd be I was surprised at the

one statistic that they pointed out that nationwide

here in the u .s. Last year No Stop it Shut up

prison any kids in your car on your way to the

parking lot you should know what happens when

we get back together Shocking number the 24 right

25 It was 25 kids nationwide last year 25 assholes

managed to lock their kids in a hot car Until

they died much. This isn't including pets. This

is kids I'm shocked and appalled It hurts like

here my chest this hurts so bad People locking

their kid in the car and just see ya. I'll be

gone five minutes It's insane later. I You know

what I just the other day I went to Lowe's to

get some pipe fittings To repair something in

my house. I don't know thing one about pipe fittings

So I go into Lowe's and I say hi. I need help.

Can you get a manager over to this? Long story

short hour and a half later I'm coming out of

Lowe's finally got the pieces that I need Took

me forever to get someone to help me if there

had been a kid in my car They'd have been dead

a kid a dog Someone else's dog someone else's

kid. I don't know Yeah Someone else dog exactly

my uncle's brothers cousins roommates dog They

died to be dead and then what am I gonna do?

I was only in there for five minutes, right?

No, you're in there for an hour and a half because

Lows can't seem to get a person to that aisle

to help you to save their own lives Yeah The

the thing about the hot car thing is and I and

I asked Jesse about this when we talked about

this in the clip people just heard is They did

this experiment at 8 o 'clock in the morning

From 8 to 9 15 right where long before the Sun

is high noon in the sky, right? Right. Yeah,

and and I had asked him at the end of the clip

there if he had ever tried doing in the afternoon

dry runs because he said he he did it because

they were originally going to do this in a parking

garage they ended up doing it in a giant field

um well they had a crowd there was it was like

an event almost a tent yeah yeah yeah i mean

you couldn't do that without a parking garage

and all that so yeah um So I asked him I said

did you ever do any afternoon drivers? He said

it would be way too hot I had no there was no

reason for me to do any afternoon drive runs

because if anyone left their kid in a car at

96 degrees before being locked in Yeah, right.

Yeah You know what kills me is that I've got

leather seats And I know after a whole day at

work I get in my car that gets direct sun in

the parking lot, right? And even just sitting

down in the seats is excruciating. It's awful.

I can't imagine. I mean, you could you could

cook a kid if you were interested in having a

small child for dinner. You could leave them

in your car and they'd be fully, you know, well

done by the time you got back. You could eat

well for a week. I'm not condoning this, I'm

just saying. Exactly. Another slice, anyone?

And the only thing I can think of is screw which

hazel trying to make gingerbread houses for cooking

kids just cook them in the car That's such a

poor taste Actually, I'm thinking now I'm gonna

go to the store I might get myself one of those

tubes of Cookie dough and I'm just gonna lay

it on on the dashboard Just get yourself some

tin foil and put it on there and see what happens.

I know we're all joking about this, but this

is a very serious topic. It is serious. Like

I said, it hurts my heart. It physically hurts

my chest to think about what happens when people

do this. The only thing you can do is joke about

it because I'd be crying. Really. It's just heartbreak.

Well, because you can't help but put yourself

in that scenario of, what if that was my kid?

Yeah, and the part is these These these people

that are more concerned over playing Candy Crush

in store or running in to get a You know Latte

or whatever instead of you know bringing their

kid with them like I myself if I have this three

option rule Do I need it bad enough that I have

to take the kids out of the car? And if I do

I take the kids out of the car or I wait until

my wife is around and then I go. There you go.

There's that's my three options, because if it's

not enough to make me want to take the kids out

of the car, I just don't go. Yeah. Right. See,

we're in a situation now, though, where. We we

can rely on and say, look, you know, I'm going

to go to the store. I could bring the kids, but

it's kind of a hassle. Do you mind if I stay

home with you? My wife would be like, I don't

care. I'm just going to sit and watch TV. Let's

give some background from each of you on your

old ages of your children. Steve, your kids are

how old? Three and a half. My youngest is a year.

Okay. And Michael, yours are what? Nine and seven?

Yeah, nine and seven. Okay. So Steve has younger

children at this point. Michael has young kids,

but they're not so young. Okay, so I would think

that by the time where your children Michael

are Seven and nine that you're starting to teach

them about all this stuff about being in the

car Not being in the car and being able to behave

in a store or so. Oh, yeah Yeah, I'm sure you

know kids are gonna throw ten temper tantrums

as kids are want to do but I assume that you

are leading them down the path of not becoming...

Yeah, I don't so much have that, actually. You

know, my kids are really well behaved. I raise

them good. When we go to Comic Cons, you know,

I know that they're gonna be right behind me.

You know, I guide them and make sure that they're

in the right place. very rarely get lost, they're

very attentive, plus they both have iPads. So

on the occasion that, you know what's weird is

I've gone to the store before and said, do you

guys wanna run it with me for five minutes or

do you wanna sit here and play on your iPad?

And they'll be like, I'll play on my iPad, right?

Which is fine, because I can lock the door. I

don't know what it's like in Indiana, but here

in Kentucky, it's illegal to leave. Any children

in a running car? Because what if somebody steals

the car? No, I wouldn't leave the car running.

OK. But then again, I've never done that in the

summer either. Right. I mean, in the fall, it's

nice. They're just going to hang out in the car

and play on the iPad. My car, I got a big SUV

and the back windows are all tinted. So they're

not going to be able to see the kids anyway.

They're just going to hang out in the back. But

I don't think I've ever had that situation occur

when it's hot. I certainly wouldn't leave them

in the car while it's 95 degrees. Like I said,

I have leather seats. You know when you're in

the car and it's hot. The car will remind you.

What about you, Steve? As far as the kids and

starting to... I mean, I know your kids are too

young at this point. Mean obviously I'm gonna

tell them, you know, I'm not gonna really I mean

they don't get the option that they're either

coming in or we just go home but He's got a car

seat though a car seat and a bull and no they're

both sure at this point Yeah, they're both in

boosters. Like oh, we're just a one -year -old

booster. He's in a rear -facing But yeah, it's

a convertible seat Yeah, yeah, that's not saying

has to be rear -facing but yeah, so I mean that's

a different ball of wax My kids will exit the

car and follow me closely and pay attention because

they're good kids and they're older. But when

you got a one -year -old, a three -year -old,

you know, you've got a three -year -old, easily

distracted, may or may not be holding your hand

the whole time. Well, he decides whether he wants

to listen or not. Yeah. That's the thing, because

there are times where he feels like it and then

there are times where he doesn't. You know on

the occasion that you do lose your kid in a crowded

place they'll learn not to wander off Well as

long as you're not doing with those people in

in Japan did and their kid was throwing a tantrum

And I left him in a field and came back and we're

like oh, where did he go? Three days later, there's

my kid Yeah I wonder where my kid went. I don't

know. I just left him here for five minutes and

now he's gone That's the other thing I taught

my kid I teach my kids you know what if if you're

lost don't go anywhere Just wait until your friends

find you You know I I did lose Aidan once in

the comic -con. I've told you the story yeah

i don't think so i don't you may have but i don't

remember so go ahead and tell it again i i lost

him before and i found him like two miles over

he was looking for me he went he decided to go

back to the last place where he could remember

me stopping right so he went yeah which is smart

yeah um you know ideally smarter would have been

stay put uh i will backtrack until i find you

you know and in this case i had to backtrack

two miles and i'm like wait a minute i knew he

was right behind me here where the hell did he

go um You know, like I said, he's smart. He knows

he knows uh, he knows the rules But you know,

like I said you get you get sidetracked sometimes

Mm -hmm. Don't panic. Don't freak out. Everything

will be fine. Absolutely Unless your kid is in

the car boiling like a lobster in which case

all you can do is You know put on your lobster

bib and dig in I'm telling you, if you can't

laugh about it, you will cry. This is a terrible,

terrible situation. It is. You never leave your

car seat inside. No, like my kids, like I carry

the one year old on my arm and then the other

one I make stay within like a three feet distance.

It's it is to the point that it's it's a paranoia

and of losing the kid and Even though the kid

is obnoxious when he feels like not listening.

I mean, he's he's a great kid But like there's

times where he's just like I'm tired and I don't

feel like listening to you That's your first

boy. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, you know this there's a

direct correlation with and this is a totally

different topic, but early introduction to media

and Consistently in front of it. Yeah and it's

not just from my my personal so um but uh yeah

so and the younger one's not been exposed to

any of it so he's like i follow um just chase

you around because now he walks so oh nice yeah

well no i mean honestly when they're that little

you you carry him around yeah i carry i had my

i had my oldest boy on my shoulders until he

was like four i think Well, they're too slow,

so like, I almost prefer just to carry them.

That's too slow! Keep up! Keep up you! I'm like,

you were way too slow. Let's go. Tiny little

slowpokes, come on. I was like, I'm thinking

of his speedy's cousin Slowpoke. Slowpoke. Slowpoke,

Maggie. Yeah. So, one of Jesse's points was,

uh, friends of his. a couple, they have kids,

and they have a system of texting each other

after dropping a kid off somewhere, like at daycare,

at school, or at babysitters, or whatever else.

Have either of you guys had that kind of system?

Oh yeah. I've never seen an I .A. in constant

contact, no matter where we are. If we're sitting

next to each other, We're texting each other

if we're across town, you know, we're texting

each other. We drop the kids off. It's like suri

Messaged my wife. What would you like to tell

christy tell her I dropped the kids off? Okay,

would you like to send? Yes send it, you know

and I This is a like a constant dialogue between

this You couldn't pull this off 20 years ago

because there were no iphones. Mm -hmm. Yeah

Well, that's the other thing that I got to talking

about with jesse at the end of the clip There

was when I was a kid you know, how my mom would,

you know, put her purse back in the back seat

or something like that to to look back there,

you know, and that kind of stuff and everything

else. And I don't ever. Yeah, I did not have

a car growing up. We were like ridiculously poor,

so there was no car. It was just if you wanted

to go somewhere while you walked and nobody nobody

left me in the back of a car because we didn't

have a car. You pushed your... Listen, gentlemen,

Michael Wilson is older than dirt. He walked

up the hill in the snow and walked down the hill

in the snow turning from snow. It was uphill

both ways. Yeah. And three feet of snow, exactly.

What about you, Steve? Do you guys have some

sort of system in place? Yeah, it's called my

wife watches me pack them in the car before I

go. And then they meet their destination and

then that's pretty much it. That was what it

was before she stopped working. Usually she'd

call me on her way to work. It was confirmation

that way. She knew exactly where I was taking

them. I never knew where they were going. I always

had to ask her because I would get going driving

in the wrong direction if I didn't know. It happened

more than once. Yeah, I go to the other grandparents

house. Oh, no, we don't have him today So, yeah,

I mean I've I've had the the experience with

it but like it's We don't really have a system

because we it's been talked about ad nauseam

beforehand of where they're going and Yeah, who's

picking up who and what? Yeah, I think the system

thing happens more so when you have two Working

parents that both work outside the house, right?

Right means so I think The the texting the calling

system kind of works that way a little bit more

that way You know cuz and as I said in the clip

with Jesse I said something in effect of oh,

you know you could drop them off at daycare Let

your wife know and then oh the daycare doesn't

know where your kid is But you know you drop

the kid off without telling us, you know So is

that but basically folks we just you know, I

I just wanted to bring awareness to this because

this is a I am sorry that 25 deaths last year

is just let's just ridiculous. Yeah, that that's

just uncalled for this Just that number that

number confuses me. Is that in the state of Kentucky?

Or is that nationwide? I told you it's nationwide

Oh the United States 25 children died in hot

cars Well, that's you know, honestly, that's

not a very big number for a whole country it

When it comes to children any number is a big

number I know I'm just saying you know more people

probably you know trip down the stairs and fell

to their death You know just because they're

dumbass just then actually left their kids in

the car got shot by gangs But I'm just saying

in the context of leaving your kids in a hot

car just because you want to go get a McFlurry,

right? Well, don't do that. We're gonna be in

there for five minutes, and it's not six degrees

in your damn car That's nationwide last year

is just unacceptable. So, I mean, it's good that

we've taken the time here and mentioning that

this is a terrible thing and bringing awareness

to it so that we know not to leave our kids in

the car. And, you know, I see, like on Facebook,

I see a lot of posts about people leaving their

pets in the car and breaking out windows. Really

is both and it's more so and I asked Jesse about

this at the end of that clip I said well, you

know, it's kind of the same thing in the wintertime,

too And he said it doesn't seem to really be

that big of a deal in the wintertime When it

comes to kids and pets cuz they're not gonna

freeze to death in the back of the car Yeah,

that's true. Oh for the usually I mean, honestly

Yeah, it what once the car is warm on the inside.

It takes a while for it to get too cold Live,

you know, but once in the summertime is the exact

opposite, you know It might be cold in there

because the AC was on but the minute you park

it in direct sunlight ten minutes later You got

you feel like you're gonna die. Yeah. Yeah And

yeah, I mean pets as well do not leave your pets

in a hot car just because you want you know a

Whopper burrito or whatever the hell the new

Burger King thing is that's coming out, you know,

I get the feel I'm gonna go out in a limb here

I'm gonna say that this does not speak to our

demographic what's it it's a situational thing

and it's a one -time it's we're not going to

talk about this every week obviously folks this

is just a one -time topic for a one -time experiment

thing that happened here in kentucky but what

i what i think that the people who are forgetting

their children in cars are the people who have

five kids and they have to they have to go uh...

get going to the check in the cash you know so

make sure they have uh... Don't know money that

they don't really haven't really earned yet You

know so it's like oh wait. I'll just be in line

for five minutes and You know all your kids are

you come back and like one of them is dead and

the rest of the corner This is an awful thing

I should be laughing when it makes me giggle.

I don't when I say we're not the demographic

I mean You know we are For lack of a better term

middle -class Caucasians who take care of their

kids. Okay. I was just saying, that to me seems

like that would be a problem. But it's not one

of those things where it could happen to the

worst people in the world that shouldn't have

children. It could happen to any parent. You

yourself just told us that... You lost your kid

at a comic con at one point or another, you know.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, yeah. You can you can misplace

your kids. It happens. Yeah. And when I misplace

them in a ninety five degree car, I would hope

not. Yeah, I'm not saying you would. I'm just

saying that anybody can have that mentality of,

oh, it's just, you know, I'll be five minutes

and, you know, I'm almost positive that. Whoever

came up with the I'll be in their five -minute

story is probably saying that after the fact

because their kid ended up dying in a car It's

it's you know, I actually saw a movie TV. It

was it was I want to say I want to say Ali McBeal.

Do you remember? No, I don't I've never seen

that Ali McBeal that it's like a lawyer show.

It was the good wife One of the episodes first

or second season of The Good Wife they were having

to defend a father who left their child in the

car He went he was supposed to take his kid to

daycare Forgot to drop him off at daycare and

went to work instead got out of the car and went

into work and when he came back in out of work

his kid was in the backseat dead and they were

trying to The DA or whatever was trying to prosecute

to say, you're responsible for this kid, this

kid died. And the defendant was saying, oh no,

it was an accident, we can't be held culpable.

Long story short, it turns out they actually

killed the kid. And then to cover it up, they

put him in the car and left him there and made

it look like he died to the heat in the car.

Michael is severely perverting this with fictional

shit, people. I was just saying, you know. It

was ripped from the headlines. I think that sometimes

people use as an excuse for some people that

just don't want to be parents. And I think that

some people purposely do it. Really? I think

so because why else would someone be telling

you this? I'm not condoning infanticide here.

I'm not saying this is a good way to get rid

of your unwanted children. I'm not saying it's

a good way. I'm saying it's totally perverted,

but it's like at the same time, like how does

this keep happening? Like if they're telling

you to put your cell phone in the back seat so

you don't forget your kid. Something's wrong.

Like I would chuck my cell phone out the window

and forget about it before That's that's the

other thing that just mentioned in the clip that

we recorded before this was You know, some people

have an app that will remind them. You shouldn't

have to have an app. I know You know, you take

care of it. I mean You know, and I gotta tell

you, for me, there's really no going back. I

can't have anymore. I mean, I could, but I don't

want to lose the ones I have. I don't want to

have to make more, that's all. So yeah, if I

lose the one I got, then I can't go back. Game

over. That's it, yeah, man. Epic fail. Epic fail.

This has really turned into a really, really

bad correct, folks. I just had to come on here

to do something. Who got hit by what? Oh, I got

killed by heat. That giant ball of fusion in

the sky, that killed me. That ball came right

through the windshield and it fused me to the

seat. In all seriousness though, I mean, how

do you forget your kid? Honestly, my kids are

the most important thing in the world. I would

drop everything else for those kids. They may

drive me nuts, but that's their goal in life.

They will always drive me nuts, just like their

kids will drive them nuts. I think that right

there, Steve, what you said about your kids being

able to drive... their parents nuts is that the

thing is. That's where the whole, oh, I'll just

be five minutes because they don't want to take

the time to take the kid out to go into the store

just to grab a half gallon of milk or something

where they just assume that they're only going

to be in there a short amount of time. Again,

going back to the point of some people in this

generation are lazy, stupid as parents. Well,

like I'm, I'm one of those people that I'm. freaking

addicted to pop like I'm addicted to Coca -Cola

and that stuff. Well, and I get this like urge

that I feel like I have to go get them. And,

you know, it's at times I want to go stop the

gas station. But like, I don't if I had my kids,

there's no way I'm stopping there. Like, I'm

just going to wait till after I take them where

they got to go or, you know, yeah. Or if it's

like, you know, through a drive thru or something.

But like, I'm not going to like get out of the

car and take the kids out just to indulge in

like something that I want that I don't need.

You don't keep them in the glove box? Yeah, I

don't keep them in the glove box. Now if I could

fold them up like Jetson's style and put them

in my pocket and you know... I'm joking. You

can wear one of those hats that has the cups

on either side? I want one of those things from

like, I want one of those portal guns so that

I can make them so that they just, you know,

endlessly cycle through air conditioning in my

car and then... There you go. That would work.

Sure would not. Alright folks, before this train

wreck of a PSA gets any further off the tracks...

Suffice to say, it's a terrible thing. We're

sorry it happens. A child is a terrible thing

to waste. Exactly. Look who threw out that perfectly

dude white boy. How did that happen? It's terrible

and it's bad form of us to make light of it.

It's not funny. It's not funny. But somebody

has to make light of it. See what I did there?

I didn't mean to do that. That's funny. Because

the light comes through the windshield. You shouldn't

make fun of it. It's a terrible thing. And I'm

very happy that somebody like Jesse brought this

up. Yeah. To shed light on it. I did it again.

Damn it. She's not even trying now. I'm sorry.

I'm trying to be serious. I just can't do it.

He's getting heated on the subject. He just can't

light his gun. It's that one right now, folks.

Rather heated subject. He's hot tonight. He's

on a roll the window down. Cool off, man. yeah

all right so the point is don't leave your damn

kids in the car yes that's and and seriously

folks look before you lock really seriously the

other thing jesse pointed out is when you get

i don't know your kids play hide and seek michael

occasionally not often enough where they would

think that hiding in the trunk is a good idea

Yeah, just climbing that old fridge kids. Yes

a perfectly good idea Jones in the middle of

a nuclear Explosion just climb into that fridge.

It's lead -lined. You'll be fine. I would find

my kids in the refrigerator before my car Like

to hide inside the door point that Jesse was

trying to make is that once your car is at home?

Make sure it's locked because if kids are old

enough that they're playing hide -and -seek and

they're old enough to grab the keys the trunk

is the the darkest place they Seen there's a

funny story. I was gonna tell you guys too, and

I just pop back in on my head My mother left

me in the car while it was running once because

she was just gonna run inside For for five minutes,

right? Mm -hmm, and I might have been three maybe

four years old maybe four is before I turned

five or six I remember that because we didn't

live in the same house, but what I come down

to is I Climbed in the driver's seat and put

the car in drive. I did. Oh, that's my dad ones.

Did you hit anything? I almost drove the truck

into a ditch. I was like I totally this part

has been edited ha ha ha you'll never know what

was actually here That was weird. That's awesome.

How epic is that? Damn thing you were saying

oh wait a minute should I tell the story again?

I'm confused. Yeah, hang on don't put the car

and drive exactly Steve heard me Before you you

went out no, okay anyway suffice to say it was

epic and you know if you leave your kid in the

car and he runs over your swing set then you

deserve what you get at least you didn't get

a dead kid honestly it's a good thing there was

a swing set there because I could have just drove

clear across the neighborhood that would have

been awesome once you put a car in drive you're

just gonna idle until something gets in front

of you like a swing set or another gentlemen

Michael Wilson at age 3 in 1976 he is the rocky

of northern, Indiana the rocky Are we there yet?

Yeah, are we there yet? Anyhow yeah, so don't

leave don't leave your kids in their pets and

you know honestly Statistically it's probably

more likely that you would climb into your car

and find someone that you don't know in the backseat

who's trying to rob you and kill you than it

is for you to climb into your backseat and find

a dead child in the backseat. Statistically speaking.

The only thing dead I want to see in my backseat

is a bug. The occasional hooker. And french fries.

Woo, french fry. Fossils. This was only been

back here for a week. It's probably still good

I I would just say make it a habit even if you

don't have kids to look in your backseat Make

sure that that's yeah, that's the big thing look

before you lock folks That's gonna do it for

us here on altered geek and geek cast radio for

altered geek Steve. What do you got coming up?

Well, I'm I'm presently on the other line recording

an episode an episode of altered geek where I

get to talk about Well, video games, some DC

projects with my screenplay, and a special report

from some internet troll that decided to pay

$11 ,000 individually to five different Twitch

streamers, resulting in a over $50 ,000 bill

on his parent's credit card. To be a troll PayPal

said Here's your finger, buddy Yeah, you know

because it's hilarious to make people happy and

then pull out the rug from under them Yeah, it's

all fun and games until PayPal says fuck off.

Yep, which they did. That's an awesome story

I actually watched the video for that I watched

the video of all the twitch gamers going completely

insane and crying when people gave them that

much I know I watched that the one guy's like

I gotta go lay down and then you just exactly

like this pile of like clothes and in bags and

yeah You know, I I don't understand these people

at all I Don't understand how why people donate

to him in the first place and maybe yeah and

why I didn't play the games But like I'm like,

I'm sure to play the game. I might as well stream

it So like I'm starting to do that, but I'm not

asking for money. So Yeah. So that's what's coming
