  Speaker 1: And you, so almost everybody on Instagram has seen the video. Yeah, yes.

  Speaker 1: Now let's talk about this video. It happened at a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: playground that you go to regularly with your kids, correct?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Correct. So this adorable little boy, courageous little boy, had
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: his head caught in the, what do you call it?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Like the gate, the great, whatever.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Like the bars.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: The bars, you know, like between the park and the
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: outside of the park, right? And he got his head caught,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and the firefighters came. It was fascinating to watch how
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: they got this kid's head out of the thing. Now,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: this is a sweet story. It's not, you know.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the kid's okay.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the whole thing was
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: just about the firefighters and.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Their compassion.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, they were so great. Like, you have to see... Well,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you saw it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: The way... There are, I think, over 70,000 comments at
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: this point. I looked at the first like 14 and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: stopped because I just, you know, I didn't know that
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it was going to do this. Right. If I knew
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the formula for a viral.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Video, I would have more of them. And how many
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: followers did you have, by the way? And then what
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: did you go to?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: OK, so I had just over 20,000, like 22,000 followers.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And now it's like 85,000 followers. 85,000 followers.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And you've had news agencies reach out to you? They
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: want to buy the video?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I have had all of the news agencies pounding at
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: my door saying, we're going to throw money at you.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: We want to buy the rights to this video. Take it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: No. No.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Take it. There is a whole zero chance of me
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: doing that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And why not?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: The video's not about me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: If I'm going to take credit at all, it's maybe
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a journalistic instinct.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: You know? Okay, fine. But it's not my video. It's
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the world's video. It's the community. I get goosebumps. The
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: community coming together. The firefighters are heroes and they're so
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: sweet with this kid. And this kid was so adorable
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and courageous. And the whole moment of it. So, like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the few comments that I saw, people saying... Oh my God,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: this reminds me of my childhood or just, you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and then firefighters from around the world. And it's just.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Did anybody say anything to you? Like, how come you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: didn't help the kid and you just filmed it?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: A lot of people ask me why I didn't help
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the kid. I'm like, are you kidding me? Somebody's head's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: caught and you're going to.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: No. Right.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: You don't want that. No.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: You can't pull his head out. He knows what you'll do.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: If I were going to help him, and I have
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: in certain situations, because when I'm not on the radio
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: or TV, I am a full-time hypnotherapist.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And I'm actually... extra, extra advanced certified in working with
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: people in medical emergencies. Let me be clear. I'm not
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a doctor in emergencies while waiting for help to arrive.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I am certified in helping people through hypnosis with their permission,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of course. And, you know, it's funny, like when you
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: have a tool or a skill that, the need finds you.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: It's happened more than I've ever wanted it to happen.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: And I've used it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And it's amazing. So that's how I could help him,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: but I didn't. And I wouldn't because he's not my kid.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Right. And again, tell people how they can see the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: video if they haven't seen it yet. How can they
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: follow you and find you? Oh, thank you. Because you're
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Jamie Lee here on Light FM. But let's be honest.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It's not my real name. Not your real name.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Did your mama name you Cubby?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. It's a nickname. But tell me about
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: how people can find you.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, so my real name is Sandy. So it's Sandy
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Ames Hypnotherapy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So Sandy A-M-E-S.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, thank you. Sandy Ames Hypnotherapy on Instagram.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And again, this poor kid stuck in a gate, basically.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And the kid, by the way, I applaud the kid.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: He wasn't panicked. He was very calm, cool, and collected,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: but he couldn't get out. You captured the video. FDNY
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: came and helped everybody, and all is good in the world.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: The emotion of the story. I couldn't not.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great.
• 4:52
