Oh do not want may do that? One of the best bits from the Tony and Dwight We can't play the morning Movements when you're going number What make us number one when you're going number two? That was actually that was actually on a yard sign. There were so many bits that we did back when we were doing rock radio that we would be canceled. The title of the bits would get us fired on this show. Let's just move on because I
don't want one to see. And by the way, you did post a picture of me in the new Herons h U R O N sunglasses from Shady Rays. I got one guy that says I look like George Clooney. Thank you, Brad, Yeah, so sweet. Thanks for listening, Brad. And then what did Dennis Clark say? Dennis Clark said, if Helen Keller had been trans this is what you would look like. But Cindy and Julie both said you look fabulous. Cindy Bailey, she says, uh, well, they look fabulous on him. Score. Tony, we meant great.
Score He's stole my sunglasses and he went back to you you want I'll get back to you tomorrow. Tomorrow. This takes me back to when I rented Friday with ice Cube, But I said, you got you guys see this movie before I turn in. We we watch it and then turn it back tomorrow. Yeah. Sure. Six months later, I'm getting charge of one hundred and twenty nine dollars. I didn't find it. David was under the couch. I'm like, we moved from that house. I said, one
hundred and twenty nine dollars. What's this cost? Nude? I said, ohh you forgot nine nude? Why the one hundred and twenty nine dollars? You know? How did you like the alternate ending of I Am Legend? The DVD eight loaned you? Oh three years ago? That might still be under the seat of the car. I how's about tupperword doing? Can you tell about tupperware that I love it? Well, it's in a landfill right now. So you guys ready to be scared? I'm ready. These are
creepy stories. People chimed in on BuzzFeed. They were asked to share some bizarre, creepy, scary incident that they'll never forget. Okay, are you ready for the first one? I am many years ago? Wait wait, wait, turn out the lights of the studio Dwight, turn out the lights in the studio. Come on, okay, okay, I'm sorry to go ahead. Now Here we were many years ago. I was scheduled to fly to Santa Barbara to visit a girlfriend who was going to college there. It
was going to be my very first flight on a plane. I was nervous. The plane was a twelve seater with six rows. I sat down next to this older, nicely dressed man who sends how nervous I was, and took my hand. He held my hand throughout the short flight, and it really helped. Is that the creepy part? It is? Now the old man? Random, old man just holds my hand. What the hell are you doing? Get off? Well? He could have grabbed something else,
did the voice Dave, don't go down there. When the plane finally landed, I bolted from my seat to exit, relieved. I stood at the bottom of the steps afterward, waiting for that man to disembark so I could thank him. No, no, no, But he never did. No, he wasn't on the plane. Asked the flight attendant where the man sitting next to me had gone, describing him, She went back on the plane. No one was left. God it was it was a ghost. It was No, it's not a butt, Joe, It's just a ghost.
Guardian Angel, Guardian Angel, and all this sounds like butt ghosts behavior to me, it really does. I'm thinking of you as a Guardian Angel. I'm a poor person that you're in charge. Did you take a think about our guardian angels? How worn out and haggard they look? Well, Dwight Win, like when people were in a wreck and stuff. It's like everyone in charge of the Guardiane, You're like, what were you doing? I'm sorry it took my office a minute. I was in a bedroom reading a
book. My family was in the living room. Sounds like my behavior reading a book in the bedroom. Suddenly my eyes blacked out and the bed that I was sitting on started to wobble and shake. Good, that's not normal activity. I distinctly remember looking up from my book to see black eyes in front of me. No, dude, no, uh no, how many black guys were in front of them? Black eyes? Black eyes. I froze. A few minutes later, everything seemed normal, but I was still
frozen in terror. A few days later, as I was crossing the street with my family, I had the same experience. I froze and my parents waited for me, not crossing the road. As I was blacking out, I heard a loud bang. Two cars in front of us had crashed right where we went walking. Oh oh my god, stop it, man, come on, so creepy black eyed guy was like trying to give him message. Helpful black guys, No black eyes, guys. Why does the why
is the helpful person have black eyes? I don't know. That's not right. That's the devil demon people. I don't know what do you mean? You don't know? It had just been a you know, a garden angel that got in a bar fight the night before. And there's nothing creepier than when there's a demon or something that has black eye like that that one that one flash in the exercise. Yes, it's like a nanosecond. Yes, that's creeky, so scary. Maybe it was Ohio state coach Ryan Day.
No Day had. I hate to correct you, but you meant the Ohio Sorry. Sorry. I was fifteen. I'd just woken up from a nap. I lived with my parents and three brothers at the time. I went to go lay down on the couch and watch TV. When all of a sudden, I heard someone vacuuming downstairs. I was in the middle of a really good show, so he yelped him to stop. It's obviously a female ghost, assuming it was one of my brothers or Tony nervous during a U
of L game. It's true that it stopped for a minute, but then cantinued again. I shouted a second time, stop and it did. A couple of minutes later, I heard my mom drive up and all my brothers walked in the door with her. No, my god. No. Confused, I asked Mom if Dad was downstairs. She said he was still at work. So we have a former maid that the ghost. And then so
instead of knocking things off, she's dusting and vacuuming. Yep. Wow, she's wearing one of those hot, fresh made outfits when she's doing it. You uh, you know, oh, come on, or she could be you know, it is the ghost of Hazel. Not all ghosts, as we know from the new TV show Ghosts are bad. It could be fun ghosts Epic one last week, by the way, epic Ghosts. So the
watch Ghosts on? Was it lap Dances? Yes? Yes. When I was about seventeen, my parents dog and I went to People's Park State Forest to for ad for mushrooms and how much mushrooms with his family, and some of them will kill you, right, yes, or you'll hallucinate for twelve hours. Well that's not so bad. But the killing one, well, I got to see the ones. Not so bad right about now for me? Right? We knew the area, well, it was early morning.
No one else was around in our chosen spot. We were walking and joking around when our dog alerted us of something. We looked over. There was a guy sitting on a picnic table staring at the river as several kayaks with young girls drifted by. He was wearing gloves and staring intently at the kayaker. No, no wearing gloves. Hold on, now, it was the middle of summer. Something seemed off. You think My mom is the most logical stable person I know. She never ever panics. Hang on, they
were eating mushrooms. It's true. She very calmly told us that we were leaving immediately, even though we had barely just arrived. Dad protested, Mom insisted, so we left. A few days later, the news reported that yet another brutal raven murder of a young woman had taken and it's your fault. By the way, Mom, call the cops and say, there's a creepy dude in the park. What the hell are you doing? It's your fault. Was it a murder too? Not just rape? Rape and murder?
Oh my gosh, has never caught. Oh my gosh, it's assumed he was the so called Connecticut River Valley killer. Stop it is that a cool murder name. That's too long of a murder name. What's what's the murder name? You have to have three of them? Can you bank killer, Connecticut River Valley killer. It's gotta be like the kayak killer, you know, the Connecticut killer or the Connecticut kayak killer, the Connecticut kayak killer.
Yes, that works. Named Kenny. First of all, you're trying to be inconspicuous with gloves in the summer as you steer it at teenage girls in a kayak. I mean, come on, yeah, and then come on, man, I'd smack that dude in his head with that kayak. Or I guess what you always have? That's right? Or what? No? The or? Or it's not a paddle's isn't it? What's the different between a paddle and an ore. A paddle is what spanks you with for
taking Alice's gum on the playground. An or that's what you paddle a boat with. It's also a conjunction. On my walk home from my back at me, I know why everybody everybody look at me. I'm Greg get Your's favorite and I know English never let it go. On my walk home for my bust up. In high school, I'd walked past a house every day that often had an old woman in a rocking chair on the front porch. She must have had memory issues because every time I'd walk by, she'd blankly
repeat the words high, high High. I'd say high back to no response. One day, it was raining, Yeah, so no one else was out as I walked home. When I walked by our house, this time, instead of saying hi, hi, she said run run up totally okay, turn it back on. I took off and booked all the way home. Yeah. Wait, did he book or did he truck He was trucking. What's quicker trucking or booking? No trucking, I was trucking. Okay, I don't know. Booking might be booking pretty fast. I think book
is faster than trouble. Also, those terms need to come back. So he just ran, just ran. Nothing happened. But imagine that creepy old lady run. You never forget that. No, that that five seconds is in your head till the day you die. No, you didn't walking about that house anyway. You can't just do like another block and go around her house. And I wonder if he died when he dies, at whatever age he dies, and then he runs into hurry she's she could go, Hey,
good job running it. You're welcome. When I was ten, Yes, I was in the living room watching TV. Mom was upstairs. The front door was open, but the screen was locked so we could get fresh air. I got up during a commercial saw a man with a screwdriver trying to take off the screen. Come on, why our eyes met? I froze. Then Mommy yelled in the deepest voice possible, Can I help you, sir? Sounds like citizen. The guy made an excuse about wanting to
sell us something and ran off. Can I help youre Wow, that sounds like a big burly man. Don't think I had a woman do that to me. One time she had like Harry knuckles and she put her finger right across my lips for I couldn't speak, and she said, s Adam's apple. I said, hey, Cindy, why you haven't Adam's apple when she put her hairy finger on me, and she said, don't think, just fuel it's one of the most Just go with it. She was a very
generous That was pretty weak one. Yeah, sound as good as the grandma on the porch. I was bartending late one night twenty fourteen. I don't believe in the paranormal or psychics, but one happened to be sitting at the bar. So it was slow, so we talked for a few hours. My coworker said she'd been a regular for eight years, never heard her bring up her work before, but for whatever reason, she felt compelled to start
telling me things. She started by telling me an incredible detail about my deceased grandma, who died in the sixties in another country. Oh, come on, all night. She revealed things she had no way of knowing my aunt and grandma's medical condition. Dude, in absurd detail. I'm sorry, that's crazy. Being a non believer, I thought i'd caught her when she mentioned that my grandma was pregnant when she died. I was like, got you know she wasn't well. I called mom later that day, No, told
her about it. No, to my surprise, she confirmed Grandma was eight weeks pregnant when she way on Wait with Grandma. Ho was she married or not? Oh, it doesn't matter. How does she know all that stuff that Granny Goods is getting busy? Or if she was with strangers, if she was married. I've seen it before. You all had a psychic come in. I'm telling you, I've seen it before, and you're just like the person sitting there is like, how would that person know the story?
I just it's like it was eight years old when it happened to me, Like I've never brought it up. It's it's crazy. How that? Oh? Oh my gosh, okay, hey Joy, did you get an email? We're having an email. We're having an email proper. I'm gonna get my ass kicked when we get out of the studio. Did you see that? Look? Doubt that? Did you give an email? Sorry, Dave? We have people. Oh there's a familiar face. Oh my gosh, what's all the metro? Can we continue to break? Please? Yes?
Go ahead? Thank you? Was about six or seven walking home from school alone. Okay, this was typical for the early sixties. Suddenly I heard Grandma calling for me. I was her favorite grandchild and she was my favorite person, so I was elated to think that she was surprising me by visiting us in La. She lived in Mexico. Oh wow. I ran the rest of the way home, burst into the door shouting for her. My
mother told me, much to my disappointment, that she wasn't there. What The next day, my parents showed up at my school and pulled me out of class. Confused, I asked why and where we were going. No, Mom explained to me that Grandma had passed away the day before, the same day I heard her. No way, dude, I've heard that story too, man, and she was coming to seek revenge on everybody that wronged her. No, he's her favorite. That's why she contacted her him and
not the siblings. It's her favorite to kill. And I would totally rub her, totally make one of my sisters or brothers and say, look, Grandma talked to me when she died. Didn't talk to you. I wondered, all my dead relatives see what I'd do in the bedroom. Sometimes often that gives me, uh, it's so uh, well, after a while watch it's so boring. Well, no, it didn't last long. But I mean they're like, wow, in the world would he well with your
relatives, they would critique you on your technique. That's not where they go. What you're doing that way? Hey, what you're doing it that way? For that is not where that goes. So that's not at all You got Another one is that it My house is in a village surrounded by wheat fields. Oh, my friend and I were training for a ten k. We'd run through the footpaths through the field. Ten k, not a five kres Right, They've got a sticker on the back of their car next to
their little kids and their three dogs. Sad, which is sad. If you put a ten k sticker on your car, stop, mini's bad enough too. I ran like, yeah, like two hundred and fifty yards, where's my sticker? One day, as we were running, we noticed a guy in a black T shirt, black pants, and black cowboy hat about twenty feet behind us. The sort of attire is unusual where we live. It sounds like somebody from the McGregor gray. On top of that, as
it's one of the Pinkertons. Yeah, a village had like three hundred people and we basically knew them all. Did you think the man? Man freaked us out? So he ran a little faster, but every time we looked back it was like he was walking but not progressing. Oh my gosh, what that's creepy. We were getting further away, but he still didn't seem to be able to gain on us, despite his legs still moving. When we got home, I told my dad there was an odd man in the
field. Before I was able to explain anything, he asked if he wore a black shirt and cowboy head and boots. No what, no, no, no, He told me the man was known as black Jack locally. Stop it. He'd seen him doing the same thing in nineteen fifty nine. Oh my gosh, but he was even more disturbing. He saw him, yes, in the middle, Yes, of the day. And it's inappropriate to say black jack. Now you got to come up with a new description, right right, he was twenty to eighty black Jack, What are you
trying to say he was twenty one? By the way, black Jack was an urban legend. It's a dog dogar out a dollar out all right, it's not funny. It's creative, but it's not funny. And they found out though the real black Jack died when he was twenty one. Dave doesn't even like it. They didn't even get it. I like that black Jacket was kind of tenacious. D d okay, I quit, okay, I'm not working. That was an unspoken legend in the village, kind of like
our public monster. Yeah, yeah, no, that's what I was thinking of when you said it. I was like, that's like the public Monster. She always thought the public Monster was like a guy that dressed up like the Pope and he just comes up and licks you. Well, it's a goat man. That's going to get him fired at UK. Dot's not make jokes about that. I'm not joking about. This was my senior year at U of L Champagne, Urbana. It was late springtime around now okay.
I had just gotten out of my last Friday class and I was hurrying to get to my dorm for lunch and enjoy some intramural sports. The engineering building I left was on a one way street. As I scurried between the park cars across the street, I checked for traffic from the one direction and saw nothing. As I started my step into the street, a far away voice he held my first name in such an alarming way. I frozen my tracks. Yay. At the same moment, a speeding car going the wrong way
zoom passed me inches away. Come on, what are the odds I've turned around to see who called my name? Huh? No one was there except for a guy named black Jack. Right. Look, how do all these people got people helping them? I don't think I have that, or do I I got voices to tell me walk into traffic. You know, I take that. I just don't listen to I take that back. I should be dead one hundred times off. Of course you should thank you. In
my guardian Angel retired, said I've done enough here. You're on your own. I sent you a text a couple of weeks ago, said hey, just in case, we'll just leave it at that, and I didn't panic. You know the text I got it. Listen, I'm gonna do something, and I'm serious. I say, I'm a message. I said, just in case I die suicide. But he seriously he didn't seriously, he didn't panic. No, next morning goes, hey, I hope you made it. Hey, you make it life. Hey, who do we have
one day? Twenty four? After four after day pizza? Oh yeah, I bet there's nothing scary about Baronos Pizza. Baronos Pizza. It's the pizza the constantly gets back to Louisville, Southern Indiana the surrounding areas, but not to mention it's the best pizza in the universe. It's how the Witings kick off every single Friday night, including tonight with a Mama Baronos and a couple of number one tequilas and not oh we get I'm a kiss you on your
mouth. But it doesn't have to be a special occasion, may I say? When you go to Baronos, it becomes a special occasion. Pizza, pasta, salad, sandwiches, wings, You're gonna love the extensive menu, dine in carry out or do every Yeah, it's that good Baronos pizza. At the bottom of the hour where we're gonna have new then we're talking to Louisville Metro safe. But before that year, really, in the years there
was rightyway forty whs when TV shows were cool. I'm bad all right, man, We are back Tony and Dwight Show with Dave Jennyings Brodge by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. When you're out and about today, please or any time, please buckle up, put your phone down, watch out for those two wheelers rolling and right pasted you. Well, Welcome to National telecommure Cater's Telecommunicators Week, where nine one one call takers and dispatchers are honored,
and we bring in Jody, Patrick and Pat. Pat's actually retiring from Louisville Metro Safe because anytime you called nine one one got what a high stressful job. And we'll get into that. Uh. First of all, welcome Patrick, Jody and Pat. How are you hang on? However, there is only Mike. I don't have on there there it goes, man, I'm frog here slating too, all right? How long? How long? How many years? Twenty eight? Twenty eight? So you retire, but then
you go back? Yeah, four, I'm as serious. We gonna I mean, look as soon as I can retire. I'm gonna retire. Man, I'm bored. My wife didn't want me at home. But it's a high stress job, right it is. But you find your own coping mechanisms to deal with it. You know it is what you make. Okay, Well I want to see listen, though I've been serious, you take all these horrific nine one one calls? How do you compartmentalize that and go home
and have somewhat of a normal wife. I gotta think that that would wear on you. It does. And big thing is why I kind of drew the lines in the sand that it was time for me to step back, because you don't really realize when you're going through it and dealing with it every day, you know how stressed you know how stressed you are. Yeah, so twenty eight years in the business, you retire, and then you go back. Let's look at the other end of the spectrum. Patrick, you're
what twenty one? Twenty one years old? No call me sir, I trust me here, horrible judge of character if you call me sir twenty one years old? This is your first year. What do you think so far? Your boss is right next to you. So are you to say I love it? And but is it stressful? It could definitely be stressful. I think a lot of it has to do with how you handle it and how you walk in the door, and especially when you leave. Just leaving
it at the door. You know, it's so important to have the outside life and leave it there to be rest and come back for you know, to be able to perform the next day. Well, I understand that Dwight wants to go to the dark side all the time on this stuff, but you are also helping people when you when a kid calls and says, my parents aren't home or whatever, or somebody I'm lost, or somebody is choking
something like that, You're you're helping people and possibly saving lives. Correct, go ahead, any situation so far after a year like that, Oh for sure. I mean, you never know what's going to happen. I'm I'm on the dispatch side, so I'm talking to police, fireing MSS. Okay, I've had a couple off serves, kid hit by cars. Oh yeah, So when you come home, did you or maybe you're not married? Out my wife say hey, how was your day? No, I'm not
married. Okay, all right, that's that's meet in the middle. Let's talk to the boss man, Jody. You've been running the show over there, a little metro safe a couple of things. Number one, we're talking about all the dark calls that you have to take do you somewhat well, Dwight is that's where we go what I always think of the worst of the worst. How do you how do you not get desensitized or do you because I mean maybe it's helpful too, because you got to keep your your your
mind clear when you're getting these calls, these horrific calls. Does it take years to develop that sense or not? Well, you know, it's it's like Pat said, you you find your own way to deal with it. And and you know, just to uh, you know, to say it. They run the show. You know, they're the most talented people.
You know that I've I've been able to work around, I mean in my thirty year plus year public safety and you know, we've been over here and we've talked about them with you guys before, and we've even talked about doing like a Metro Safe money or something like that where we can bring other dispatchers over and share calls and things that we've actually been able to face. But you know, for them there, you got to think about it. The
public's calling them on their worst day. Yeah, yeah, and you know they're actually able to shine and then some you know, on the dispatch side. You know, potentially God forbid something happens to a public safety servant. You know, they could be one of the last ones to talk to them. So you know, we're always checking on on the people when you know, we know when when bad things happen, and we always go over there. And peer support is a huge thing now and the mental capacity that they
share and they have to deal with is huge. We've seen on the news and I'm sure it doesn't It doesn't happen a lot where somebody will call and go Burger King did not get my order right, or the Burgers they didn't deliver my boger twice, manuff so stupid things to do, dumb as you much surprised it happens more than you think. No, send the police because they messed up the orders. Well the orders are getting more wrong in my defense, that's right. They left a special sauce off whopper. Training for
this job changed from the day you walked into the door to today. Oh man, I tell you, when I started, everything was on running cards, no computer aided dispatch except for the police cards. You wrote physically, you wrote down, wrote down. How are you wow? He's old dude, yeah, okay, but so the training is a little different, and it's the system is immensely better. Oh yeah, definitely. Now they got the A V L and stuff on the ambulances that you're right, somebody,
No, that's I think that's the top of it. Absolutely right compt when they worked, they they're they're on it. But would you go back and do it all over again? And a heart? But I started out at his sister that was retired LPD and you know that kind of you know, getting me a foot the door. Always wanted to be on the other side of the radio. But you know what, hate I found a colleague there. I'm the Tony Vanetti and the Dwight You Pat, you're a good guy.
Don't say that about yourself. Man, do you got lot self of state? But this year's almost thirty years you're on dispatch and working over there as a result. Now do you just hate talking on the phone? Uh? Just a certain extent? Yeah, yeah, I would think, what's the what's the opening line? I haven't called now one one? What do you say when the when the phone rings? You know, nine one one
was the andress to your emergency? That's the opening line? Okay, all right, all right, yeah, can you can you like jazz it up a little bit if you want to? Want? One? Operator me in you what the andddress your emergency? There we go? What it's the address of your emergency? Poured down the street? Nine one one? What's up? Why don't we jazz up the intro? When the answer the phone over there? I got some suggestions. I run valuator music, dramatic music on
it. Dun't tuntuna, dun dunk? What's the ddress of your emergency? Sir? All seriousness, though, today's a special day, right nationally what's the week? It's National Telecommunicators Week, Uh, where we honor all the nine to one one call takers and the dispatchers by the way, but seriously, all jokes aside. At people's worst moment of their life. This is the first people that they talk to you. When there's a fire, when there's a recular emas police and name it, or when your order is wrong
at burger king or wherever. These are the folks that take your car, damn right, when there's no tomato in that sandwich and they're here for us. And you know, regardless, it's an emergency to them whatever it is. Oh, no, that's right, it's an emergency. Yeah, that's that's true. Yeah, we're kidding, araw, but that's true. Someone's having an emergency. It's you think it's little because you deal with it all day, but to them, it's it's one last question. Thunder over Louis
was one of the biggest events in the city. Do the cause seem to go up on Thunder over Louis or it just depends. I mean, you know, there could be things that if you have an automobile accident downtown, you know, with the crowds and crowds of people and everybody's got a cell phone, it's gonna jump up. So it just depends on what goes on. Thunder is pretty tame for the most part. They had one arrest last year. One arrest last year. I think that's been the story for a
couple of years. It's less than five arrests with that many people in one place. There's so many public safety servants that are down there, police, fire ms, local, state, and federal partners. You know, it's a huge book of a play. Well that starts to run because you do Thunder, you do Derby, You got PGA coming up. All these guys and gals are going to be putting in and everything in between. Pegas has
prayed many marathon balloon, the most important one. What merby Eve jam with Tony Venetti, dwight Wood and Dave, Jenny's with Sackson and you guess you're Ryah Heap, Sunday, April twenty eighth.
