Oh, perfect song there News Radio eight forty w HS. It's a very horse. Dwight Whitten from the Sachson You Right Heaps Show last night. Dave Jennings in there, and to my left is the one and only Ethan Almighty and that other guy. It's not easy, Jeff Callaway. What a great man you are. Brother. It's good. It's good to see you, my friend. I just saw you on Friday night. We all got together and celebrated. Uh, I can't remember the house built number. I'm so

tired. Is a two fifty eight fifty eight? Okay, I do We just Otherwise aka known as Ethan's Law, had a gigantic party out at O'shay's and if if you asked me, and you didn't, but I'm gonna give you my opinion anyway. I think Ethan Almighty is a great unifier because there were people there from all walks of life. There were people there with far different political views, and everybody just got together and it was to honor and

celebrate and animal cruelty, all with Ethan. It's quite a culture that is being created around this dog, isn't it. Yeah, that's one of the things that I have always liked so much about Ethan's story is he brings people together that you wouldn't normally see in the right place, together rite different religious backgrounds, different socio economic backgrounds, different racial backgrounds, and they all come

together for their love of him and for the love of animals. And it really does my heart good when I get letters and stories from people telling me the friendships and the friend groups they've made because of Ethan, people that they would have never met any other time, any other place. Is it crazy that it really is? I'm not, you know, blowing this up, but international fame. You get correspondence people all around the world, even not

too long ago. He's on the billboard at Times Square. Is that mind blowing to you? It is, really I go places and people know your dog, and it's really kind of a strange thing. But yeah, you're right. They've done a couple really big stories in Australia, one over in

Europe, Canada, so many different stories. And from the very beginning, it was, you know, I wasn't sure he was going to live, and he had all this love and support from people here in the local community and everywhere else, and so I kind of started continued that social media with just a thought of giving back to those people because they were so kind during

the time that he was rehabbing and getting better. And then I began to get those letters in those comments from people telling me what his story had done for them. And they had never met him, right, But it was so many things about people that were struggling with drug abuse or struggling with you know, they'd been diagnosed with cancer something, and they kind of wanted to to not fight, and they saw his story and they wanted to keep going.

So then it became, you know, everybody's going through something and you have no idea what they're going through, right, and sometimes just a little kindness goes a long way. And so his story from the very beginning became just please do something kind for someone today. Sometimes just offering a kind word to someone is what they need to get through the day. That's your mantra to Yeah, I remember you say that many times to many people, and

you actually, here's what I like about Jeff Callaway. He doesn't just say that he lives, because I've seen that often. But I find it amazing that Ethan and by the way, Ethan Almighty, Jeff Callaway are in here with us. I find it amazing that the abuse that poor Ethan took on it was not just starvation, it was also physical abuse and I'm going to say mental abuse. Uh to the fact that when he was dropped off at the little it was a little Metro Animal Service or a Humane s He's dropped

off of Humane Society. Thank god, someone saw him, dropped him in the parking lot, like you said, Friday night. Would have been nice to have contacted, but they did. But at least they got him to the Humane Society. Humane Society finds Ethan the parking lot, they think he's dead. Okay, he is just emaciated, and he looked he looked dead. He looked like he I mean, you could see his ribs, you

can see. It's just horrible. But I find it amazing that if all the torture that this dog went through Friday night were at the party and he's going up and people are loving on him, and he's a pro he's not scared of people. Does that baffle you at all? Yeah, a little

bit. I Mean, he's got every right to be to be mad at folks, to be man at the world, and he has gotten so used to people petting him, put their hands on him, putting their hands on their head, and he it just is very natural to him, and I think he really it's just sort of his way of giving back. And we

go. You know, there are so many places that reach out for whatever reason and ask us to come, whether they think it might bring more awareness for you know, whatever cause they have, or might bring more people in whatever, and we I very seldom say no because I want to just give back. It's all about giving back to the community, and so we want to do that at every opportunity that we can. Let's talk about that, because you know, I run crazy between mine and my wife's schedule. It

seems like we're always doing something. But Lord, you and Ethan are out yesterday you did the Kentucky Derby Parade. How did that go? And who did you ride with? And was by the way, how did Ethan take it? Because he's a celebrity, but he's also a dog and dog do dogs do dog things. So he we rode in a little corvette, which is a very cool kind of kind and just there's so many little kind stories in Ethan's journey, and one of them was three years ago when they asked

us to be in the parade. We show up and they say they have a car force to ride and the lady comes over and she says, I didn't realize Ethan was so big. Can he sit in your lap? And

I said there's not a chance in France he's sitting in my lap. So she said, well then it'll just be me and him out on the parade route and I said no. So we kind of walked around to different folks that had their corvettes, and very understandably, some of them were worried that he could droole in the car, he could scratch things up or whatever. And I hear someone from behind me say he can ride in my car. So I turned around. He introduced himself as Kenny, and I said,

Kenny's gonna droop in your car and he said I don't care. And I said he could scratch some things up and he said, I don't care. I want him to ride with me. Wow. And since then Kenny has driven Ethan in probably seventeen or eighteen parades. Wow. So yesterday, unfortunately, Kenny was going to drive him in the parade and he had a neighbor pass away and so Kenny sent his car with his brother, and so I drove Ethan in the parade yesterday. Wow. What what a guy. Okay,

So that's that's the appearance yesterday. And that's just a taste of the schedule that you get with these guys. I'm assuming you had events Saturday because lou City. Wait, so Friday Saturday, yesterday was Sunday. You did the parade tonight. Ethan and Jeff are actually guest celebrity guests for the Race for Grace at Churchill Downs. We had Scott kneeling here. Pat Day was on with us that day and it's gonna be uh god, I can't think

of anything. I'm so tired from last night. Uh. Tim Geebow is gues So you guys are actually doing Race for Grace tonight as well, right, Yes, So we're gonna go early and do like a little meet and greet for folks as they come in to meet Race for Grace and kind of meet up with Tim Teblew a little bit beforehand, get some pictures. We participated in his Night to Shine earlier this year, and you know, Tim does a line of really cool things. So we're looking forward to forward to

hearing him speak and and and participating in that. It's always a really cool event. Uh. What do you guys, what's new with you and Ethan right now? I mean, you guys are always into something. Uh and by the way, it's always something given back. I got to tell you my admiration for both of you guys, because you've took such a tragic, tragic situation and you turn scars into stars and you do you continue to do so every single day. What else do you have coming up? And what's

new that I don't know about. Well, what we want to do is continue to help animals in the community. So you know, I started a five oh one c three nonprofit foundation in Ethan's name called Ethan Almighty's Blessings. Okay, we were working with that for a little bit, and then a friend of mine that I went to high school with, Mike mulrooney, had started an organization. Mike, Yeah, he had started an organization called Shirley's Way years and years ago in his mother's name, and he has done some

wonderful, amazing things for folks, incredible things. And so he reached out to me and said, hey, I've always wanted to do an animal side

of Shirley's way. What if we partnered both of our organizations together and we created something we called Forever Friends. If you are Forever Friends, and so that organization is going to be We're gonna help animals in any way in our community, whether it's helping folks with vet bills, helping with costs of spay and neuter, helping with micro chipping, helping folks with to provide pet food for if you can't afford pet food. And we actually have an event coming

up on so it's already started. It's already started. Wow. And you can get all that information from at Ethanolmighty dot com. Okay, you can also donate there to Forever Friends. And we are sponsoring a big event with the Shamrock Foundation on June the fifteenth at the Hitching Post in on Fake and mush Lane and it's a fundraiser for the Shamrock Foundation days to do some amazing

work. And the other thing that I like, you know, working with Ethan is I have always thought you surround yourself with great people and great things will happen, and that includes other organizations. And so there's not a place out there that I can think we're not going to partner with and team up with, because the more good minds you get together, and in this case, the more animals we're going to be able to help. I just don't want to forget it's on my mind because you brought this up. I wasn't

aware of this forever friends. It sounds fantastic and brought up. I wonder if it's possible to get to solicit some veterinarians to actually give in kind donations, meaning you know what, I'll do the X amount of operations for you all. That might be something figure I don't know. Yes, I think

we're gonna I'm hoping to kind of develop some of those relationships. I think right now people kind of reaching out to me on an individual basis and they'll say, hey, I've paid this much for my animal and I'm this much short, and I find out where they you know, what vet they're going to, and kind of reach out to them and work that way. But it would be awesome if we could create those relationships ahead of time. People reach out to me and I can send them to a certain certain vet.

That would be perfect. Don't want to sound like Bob Barker. Here, but part of the part of the problem, gigantic part of the problem. And I work with Louisville Metro Animal Services and see it every Monday. Want

to go by there is not spaan aning a neuter your pet. Do you all plan on doing anything to either promote spare neuter or I know sometimes in the past organizations have done a spay and neuter day anything like that on the horizon, but yes, So I had reached out to a few different leaders of some animal organizations locally because I don't ever want to assume that I know or I think what's going to help the animal animal community the most sure And

what I heard time and time again was spay and neuter, right, So we started looking into how can we do a spay and newter day. So we're hoping to do that in June, also June, maybe early July, but we'll do a spay and neuter day where we can take so many maybe it's seventy or eighty that it will be free for folks. Oh wow. And I'm about one step away from locking that in and all that information will

also be found on Ethanolmighty dot com. But span neuter is a big thing that we want to do and if we can, you know, make this come off very successful, which we believe we can. We'll continue to do that throughout the year. Beautiful. One last thing. I saw you Friday night and you gifted us this beautiful If you've ever seen ethanolmighty, he's got it. Just go and look at the pictures. One of the colors he has, one of the collars he has on has all the different colors on

it. It's a beautiful collar out of the blue. We get gifted one of these by you, and it's it's not it's a really unique collar. Talk about where this came from and how people can purchase one. By the way, because it's such a beautiful thing. I took it off Lemby but had to bring it in so he's a nudist right now. But talk about

this collar, uh, the significance and where people can get it. So Uh, these collars are made, these really cool beaded collars are made by East African women artisans and they come over here and locally they are sold by a couple here Laura and return hired Judge McKay Shavin and the proceeds go back to East African Women's Health. Okay, that particular one, the rainbow collar one. If you order that, they also donate some money back to the

animal shelter in Ethan's name. But they are very well made. I mean it's beautiful, I mean incredible. Yeah, We've got five or six different ones, different other beauty cause but they are very cool and you can find them on Instagram at her best foot forward? Does it ever? Actually her best foot, her best foot, her best foot, and check out these callers. Absolutely beautiful. And then one last thing, does the power of

your all social media ever just blow your mind? Because I've been following you guys for years and it does so well. Does it blow your mind that the response on your social media is still as big as it is. I mean it's been what four years? Is that right? Yeah? About three years? Three years? Yeah? It does. Yeah. And again one of the things I like so much about it is that it's always positive. Yeah, when there's so much negative stuff online. Right, no matter where

you go, everything associated with Ethan's story is always positive. The positive comments, the positive likes, And it does my heart good to hear all those people talk about how much they love him and what he does for him, and that it's all positivity. He's Jeff Callaway and is Ethan all mighty. Please follow them off social media. And it looks like that they're just doing

more and more day by day. Like Jeff said, try to at least one kind thing today, all right, and maybe it's delivering somebody some lots of pasta for no reason, Dave, I don't know that is true. We do have Derby coming up, obviously, get the lots of pasta, box lunch, pick out your sandwich and aside some homemade soup. We dropped in yesterday to get stocked up for family coming in town, and they just

We picked up everything to make pizzas, including cauliflower crust. They have those there. Someone's coming in town, that is it's Elaine, that's her name. She is gluten Freeze, So lots of pasta can take care

of you there too. The box lunches are Churchill Downs approved. We also picked up a pound of chicken breast and my favorite thing to snack on is the brisket PISTROMI got a half pound of that, and Becky got her cheese. We got some chips. We sat in the cafe yesterday and just watched Saint Matthew's Putterbie. They'll make you a quality, quality coffee drink, lots of different flavors. Just a cup of joe if you want to. Right

She was pulled over for driving erradically while trying to dodge Papa Rod that we're following her big deal. She was visibly shaken while talking to the officer, who led her off with the warning, oh

my gosh. Burkett. The mayor sent a letter to the town's interim police chief, Harry Dos, writing that he was dismayed to watch the publicly released bodycam footage of the traffic stop. It's ridiculous. He's critical of the officer's quote dismissive posture, expressing that because Giselle was upset and scared by the paparazzi, the officer's response was quote everything we do not want to see in the way our police interact and serve our residents. He should have shown more empathy.

Well on behalf of this show, I think I could say that we support the officer the pull over. She was driving erratically and could have hurt a regular citizen.
