5:21
Speaker 6: same tours on Saturday, August the twenty ninth from Tenttal two.
5:26
Speaker 4: You will absolutely be seeing at least meet I assume
5:29
Speaker 4: you go. I'll go take a look, very excited to
5:32
Speaker 4: see what you guys are putting together over there. So
5:34
Speaker 4: now onto the fun stuff. And by the way, Riley
5:37
Speaker 4: is probably listening in there. I'm just gonna turn her
5:40
Speaker 4: up pre emptently because in the event that you have
5:43
Speaker 4: any questions Riley or yeah, feel free to just turn
5:47
Speaker 4: on your mic.
5:47
Speaker 1: You may not be she might be.
5:49
Speaker 4: I find it hard to believe. If she isn't, she
5:51
Speaker 4: will be mad.
5:52
Speaker 1: Probably trying to cut up the podcast at this point.
5:55
Speaker 4: All right, As a medical examiner, obviously we all watched
5:59
Speaker 4: a lot of shows that have the medical examiner on
6:01
Speaker 4: it all.
6:02
Speaker 1: The way back to Quincy. Yeah, I was a huge
6:04
Speaker 1: Quincy fancy.
6:05
Speaker 4: How did oh?
6:06
Speaker 7: Also, I got my mic working?
6:07
Speaker 1: Sorry, there you go, not working?
6:10
Speaker 4: So how does how does the job different from when
6:14
Speaker 4: you see it on TV and movies?
6:16
Speaker 6: So often on TV and movies, I don't know why,
6:18
Speaker 6: but the medical examiner is often doing an autopsy in
6:21
Speaker 6: the dark with like a little lamb or a couple
6:23
Speaker 6: of little lambs.
6:23
Speaker 5: I think it's just for shot.
6:25
Speaker 6: It's like, why are you doing it in the dark?
6:28
Speaker 6: And too, it's also seems like it's at night. It's like,
6:30
Speaker 6: we are a pretty standard eight to five type job,
6:32
Speaker 6: and even I mostly do my autopsies in the morning.
6:34
Speaker 6: That's like you need light to do your job. You're
6:37
Speaker 6: not working by yourself. There's usually no technician working with them,
6:40
Speaker 6: except on n CIS. I'll give them credit, right, But yeah,
6:44
Speaker 6: I mean, you're not alone. It's not nighttime.
6:45
Speaker 4: You're not just shoved in a cave and they lob
6:48
Speaker 4: a body at you and then you're in the dark
6:50
Speaker 4: trying to like figure out the scene. How long does
6:54
Speaker 4: it take start to finish, to do your process and
6:58
Speaker 4: exam and everything like that.
7:00
Speaker 6: It depends on the situation state. A straightforward autopsy with
7:04
Speaker 6: the little trauma, I can do it under two hours,
7:06
Speaker 6: even faster than that with a well trained technician. But
7:10
Speaker 6: you know, some cases with lots of injuries to document
7:12
Speaker 6: for legal purposes, those can take longer because I got
7:15
Speaker 6: to do measurements. I gotta do measurements from the top
7:17
Speaker 6: of the head, from the midpoint the size of the injury,
7:20
Speaker 6: where it's at what it hit, and there's lots of
7:23
Speaker 6: photographs to be taken to in front of the body,
7:25
Speaker 6: back of the body, inside the body, what was hit?
7:28
Speaker 6: Interesting findings that kind of thing.
7:30
Speaker 1: Detail and accuracy I'm assuming are critical. So you can't
7:33
Speaker 1: really play around and rush through that.
7:35
Speaker 6: So, no, you want to, you want to, you want
7:37
Speaker 6: to be thorough, but you also want to sometimes you
7:40
Speaker 6: have a lot of cases that day, so you also
7:41
Speaker 6: have to you know, get it done. So if I
7:43
Speaker 6: have a multiple gunshot wound case, I have to just
7:45
Speaker 6: you know, be meticulous, but follow a formula and I
7:48
Speaker 6: should be able to get multiple cases done.
7:50
Speaker 1: How many?
7:50
Speaker 4: How many cases? Like what's your busiest day that you're expecting,
7:55
Speaker 4: Like what would be a situation, Hey, this is going
7:57
Speaker 4: to be a crazy day. How many would you be
7:59
Speaker 4: expected to go through in a day.
8:00
Speaker 6: So I used to practice back in Austin, they captus
8:03
Speaker 6: at four cases a day. But even then, if we
8:06
Speaker 6: had a multiple gunshot wound homicide, they would try to
8:09
Speaker 6: limit it to that day unless we really could just
8:11
Speaker 6: get through it because you know, we're busy. We also
8:14
Speaker 6: have to eat. We also need to you know, decompressed.
8:16
Speaker 6: We have to dictate, so we try to, you know,
8:19
Speaker 6: do good work, but also try to you know, get
8:21
Speaker 6: the cases turned around so they can go back to
8:23
Speaker 6: their family and one of the.
8:24
Speaker 4: Other I know you said multiple gunshots, but I know
8:26
Speaker 4: it's broader than those clear cut cases like what, give
8:30
Speaker 4: me some descriptions of cases that you might not expect
8:33
Speaker 4: would need a medical examiner to take a look at.
8:36
Speaker 6: Well, many cases that people you know don't know that
8:39
Speaker 6: they need an autopsy or really should seek one out
8:41
Speaker 6: are particular cases of people dying basically too young. In
8:46
Speaker 6: my practice, under the age of seventy, we need to,
8:48
Speaker 6: you know, double check what else is going on. Really, Yeah,
8:52
Speaker 6: I mean if some people have a primary cure physician,
8:54
Speaker 6: you know, a little hypertension, a little high cholesterol, is
8:57
Speaker 6: that enough to go ahead and say they died of heart?
8:59
Speaker 4: To see?
9:00
Speaker 6: Statistically speaking, usually yes, but it's just best to be
9:04
Speaker 6: thorough because it could be a pulmonary embolism. Interesting, some
9:07
Speaker 6: people are free to doctors and it's surprise metastatic cancer,
9:10
Speaker 6: that's true, or meningitis and the whole family needs antibiotics.
9:14
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, okay, I've got an off the wall question
9:16
Speaker 1: for you. Yes, do you have a particular playlist.
9:20
Speaker 6: Wow, funnily enough, it rotates. So I love Broadway music
9:24
Speaker 6: and so I'll.
9:24
Speaker 1: Be, you know, to show tunes right all.
9:28
Speaker 6: The baddest when Sweeney Todd comes on.
9:30
Speaker 1: Oh god, you put yourself in character there.
9:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know sometimes that the tech gets to pick,
9:37
Speaker 6: and that can range from death metal to hip hop
9:41
Speaker 6: to the pop hits. And I remember with my old
9:43
Speaker 6: boss we occasionally would play kids pop.
9:46
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, kids, how.
9:48
Speaker 6: Much they've changed the lyrics and we're just two going
9:50
Speaker 6: along and yeah, and no one's scaring.
9:52
Speaker 4: Can I hang out with you at work one day?
9:54
Speaker 1: Yeah?
9:54
Speaker 4: Like just all right, so we'll more. How do you
9:57
Speaker 4: how did you get into this line of work? Like
10:00
Speaker 4: when did you realize? Again, I want to go into
10:03
Speaker 4: the Emmy run and I want to go into forensics,
10:06
Speaker 4: Like what was it that got you there?
10:08
Speaker 6: Well, you know, on a side note, like some of
10:10
Speaker 6: my classmates they said they knew they wanted to do
10:12
Speaker 6: this since kindergarten, and I'm like, what are you watchings
10:16
Speaker 6: Quincy Quincy? Well?
10:17
Speaker 4: No, I mean nowadays, like it's such a it's such a.
10:21
Speaker 1: Genre now yeah, everybody's everybody's got it. If a show
10:25
Speaker 1: is not focused on that entirely. At least that show
10:27
Speaker 1: has a portion.
10:28
Speaker 4: And and like I can see not that young, but
10:32
Speaker 4: I can see as a kid maybe like, hey, I'd
10:35
Speaker 4: like to do something like this.
10:37
Speaker 6: And to be honest, my journey was a little bit different.
10:39
Speaker 6: I mean, I knew I wanted to go into medicine,
10:41
Speaker 6: and then once I got into medical school, I loved pathology.
10:44
Speaker 6: And when I started doing my residency, it's not one
10:47
Speaker 6: of those things they introduced right away. I think they're
10:49
Speaker 6: worried they'll scare people off. Yeah, but for me to
10:51
Speaker 6: actually sit for my board examinations, you have to do autopsies.
10:54
Speaker 1: I had to do.
10:55
Speaker 6: I was required to do at least fifty not a
10:57
Speaker 6: problem to do them, to get them at my hospital.
10:59
Speaker 6: Other place have difficulty reaching those numbers, Right, It's becoming
11:03
Speaker 6: less culturally positive that and everyone gets you know, radiology
11:07
Speaker 6: and other testing. So generally speaking, if you die at
11:09
Speaker 6: a hospital, they pretty much know why you died already. Yeah,
11:12
Speaker 6: sometimes families have additional questions, but sometimes people also die
11:17
Speaker 6: too fast to the point of where it's definitely not
11:20
Speaker 6: a medical examiner case, but they need a good idea
11:23
Speaker 6: to have an autopsy to tell the.
11:25
Speaker 4: Family why they died, tried to get answers.
11:26
Speaker 6: Yeh, yeah, And I had several cases during my training
11:29
Speaker 6: or it was basically surprised on SOT leukemia and with foma,
11:33
Speaker 6: they had only a few weeks of symptoms and it
11:35
Speaker 6: basically just went straight into the bloodstream.
11:37
Speaker 1: And wow.
11:39
Speaker 6: So I did a whole project, published a paper, published
11:42
Speaker 6: a couple of case reports, and I was hooked. And
11:44
Speaker 6: so yeah, I did my Yeah, I did my training
11:47
Speaker 6: at the University of South Florida, worked for a year
11:50
Speaker 6: out in Jacksonville, and I've been in Travis County for
11:52
Speaker 6: the past seven years.
11:53
Speaker 4: Very nice.
11:54
Speaker 7: I actually have a question before we go to the
11:56
Speaker 7: next part. Is there certain times of the years where
11:58
Speaker 7: you're more over flowed than others?
12:01
Speaker 1: So, yeah, did you have that question? Okay, okay, you know.
12:03
Speaker 6: Back in Travis County it's not too much, but I
12:06
Speaker 6: think in January and in July it's spiked just a
12:09
Speaker 6: little bit.
12:09
Speaker 5: And we weren't sure.
12:10
Speaker 6: Everyone was like, you know, it's post holidays. Everyone's a
12:13
Speaker 6: little bit more sad or reckless. I'm just not certain,
12:16
Speaker 6: and same with July, people may just get a little
12:18
Speaker 6: more reckless.
12:19
Speaker 4: Well, interesting, one more question, So we're doing a radio show.
12:25
Speaker 4: We obviously do our show when we do our job.
12:28
Speaker 4: A lot of people who do radio shows really dork
12:31
Speaker 4: out over listening and critiquing to other other radio Like
12:35
Speaker 4: here's something I mean, you know, we drive around it.
12:37
Speaker 4: We turn down the music and we turn it up
12:38
Speaker 4: when someone talks, so we can like say snarky things
12:41
Speaker 4: to our partner and to like talk about how bad
12:43
Speaker 4: that break credit.
12:45
Speaker 1: I heard a jock one time. I called him and
12:46
Speaker 1: told him it was a good thing. Yeah.
12:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes you hear like, oh my god, rocks. I
12:50
Speaker 4: love him. Do you do the same thing with true crime?
12:54
Speaker 3: No?
12:54
Speaker 6: I don't listen to too many true crime podcasts really, Okay,
12:58
Speaker 6: not too many. Probably I should give him more a shot,
13:00
Speaker 6: to someone more familiar with what people are interested in
13:02
Speaker 6: and talking about. But yeah, my podcast usually run from
13:05
Speaker 6: financial though I do love like financial true crime, like
13:09
Speaker 6: I've memorized.
13:10
Speaker 4: To drop out.
13:11
Speaker 6: Really, that's like a bedtime story more like I'm doing
13:14
Speaker 6: a long run. I'll turn on one of those episodes
13:16
Speaker 6: because I know the story and I can just you know,
13:17
Speaker 6: get in a groove.
13:18
Speaker 4: How cool.
13:19
Speaker 1: Well, Jennifer, we're gonna we've decided already, we're going to
13:22

13:26
Speaker 1: sort of things. And you've mentioned that you can't discuss

18:53
Speaker 7: they're kind of looking they're singing the song like that
18:55

20:29
Speaker 1: and short barreled shotguns without requiring federal registration. The decision
20:35
Speaker 1: by US District Judge James Wesley Hendrix is the result

Speaker 1: here's an explanation of the rule from their senior vice president,
20:52
Speaker 1: Eric Pratt.
20:53
Speaker 8: If there's no tax, then registering those items becomes unconstitutional.
21:00
Speaker 1: There's one catch. The decision is stayed a week to
21:03
Speaker 1: allow the DOJ to appeal, and that's up to Acting
21:06
Speaker 1: Attorney General Todd Blanche.
21:07
Speaker 8: We are encouraging our members to call their senators and
21:11
Speaker 8: demand that Blanche commit to not appealing this.
21:15
Speaker 1: And Blanche is still awaiting Senate confirmation in order to
21:19
Speaker 1: keep his job. A burn ban is in effect for

Speaker 1: twenty four year old Isaiah Herd walked up to his
22:42
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend's car while she was in line at the
22:44
Speaker 1: McDonald's on Texas Avenue at Southwest Parkway. He yanked her
22:48
Speaker 1: from the vehicle and threw her on the ground. Herd
22:51
Speaker 1: followed her back into the vehicle, where he choked and
22:53
Speaker 1: struck the woman. The victim told police she and Herd
22:57
Speaker 1: dated more than a year ago, but share a ten
22:59
Speaker 1: month old child, the subject of their argument. The child
23:02
Speaker 1: was in the car at the time of the assault.
23:04
Speaker 1: Police were able to obtain video surveillance from the restaurant,
23:08
Speaker 1: and Heard admitted to the assault. He was arrested and
23:11
Speaker 1: charged with family violence assault with a previous conviction a
23:14
Speaker 1: third degree felony. He remains jailed on forty five thousand
23:18
Speaker 1: dollars bond. Heard was previously arrested March nineteenth of this

23:30
Speaker 1: A Dallas suburb has given the green light to a
23:33
Speaker 1: new Islamic facility. McKinney City Council heard from residents about
23:37
Speaker 1: the concerns, including increased traffic based on the size of
23:41
Speaker 1: the project.
23:42
Speaker 10: How did Planning and zoning review these plans and think
23:45
Speaker 10: it would be a good idea to recommend it for voting?
23:47
Speaker 10: Where is the traffic study that should have reported the
23:50
Speaker 10: series' inability to handle that type of that number of people,
23:54
Speaker 10: especially Friday services, which are in fact five prayer times.
23:58
Speaker 1: A Daytill unanimously approve the McKinney Islamic Association's mosque, jim

24:12
Speaker 1: the race for Texas Attorney General, Republican Mays Middleton is
24:16
Speaker 1: leading Democrat Nathan Johnson by five points according to the
24:20
Speaker 1: Texas Southern Poll conducted by political scientist Mark Jones. He
24:24
Speaker 1: says the election will come down to who can connect
24:26
Speaker 1: with the voters. Half of these likely.
24:28
Speaker 11: Voters don't know enough about Middleton to have an opinion
24:31
Speaker 11: of him, and three quarters don't know enough about Johnson
24:34
Speaker 11: to have an opinion of him.
24:35
Speaker 1: The race for comptroller, the poll shows Don Huffines sitting
24:39
Speaker 1: on a seven point lead over Democratic opponent Sarah Eckhart.
24:43
Speaker 11: Since Huffines has a pretty vast personal fortune and can
24:47
Speaker 11: raise as the incumbent comptroller, I think that's a race
24:50
Speaker 11: where a cart's going to be really hard pressed.
24:53
Speaker 1: As a reminder, October fifth is the deadline to register
24:56
Speaker 1: to vote for the November election. Six people of our

25:06
Speaker 1: Eight more still face charges. Michael Lozano is with the
25:10
Speaker 1: Permian Basin Petroleum Association.
25:13
Speaker 12: Unfortunately, they're doing it off the backs of those that

Speaker 12: have legally invested and paid for leases and paid for
25:18
Speaker 12: equipment and labor and taxes and royalties and everything in between.
25:22
Speaker 12: And so it's a real theft that really impacts operators
25:24
Speaker 12: large and small.

Speaker 1: The defendants admitted to selling the stolen oil for between
25:29
Speaker 1: ten and fifteen dollars per barrel, far below the going

26:58
Speaker 4: few things today. Uh, first off is the fact that,
27:03
Speaker 4: as illustrated, this is the worst time of the year
27:08
Speaker 4: to be dealing with heat. Yes, so why not talk
27:11
Speaker 4: to someone who knows about how to stay cool in
27:16
Speaker 4: environments where it is just crazy hot all the time?
27:19
Speaker 13: Yeah, sometimes you've got to be creative, you know. This
27:22
Speaker 13: is that time of year where you know you need
27:24
Speaker 13: to be inside more during the middle of the day,
27:26
Speaker 13: splash pads, public places that are cool, try to go.
27:30
Speaker 5: To a movie, whatever.
27:32
Speaker 13: But you really want to try to limit your outdoor
27:34
Speaker 13: activities that during the heat.
27:36
Speaker 5: Of the day.
27:36
Speaker 1: So you're suggesting a siesta, yes.
27:38
Speaker 13: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, absolutely, fun of it, you know, we
27:44
Speaker 13: believe in them absolutely, but yeah, no, it's it is
27:48
Speaker 13: very important, you know, because when it gets this hot,
27:51
Speaker 13: when you're out mowing the grass or doing whatever.
27:53
Speaker 5: Even if you're a healthy individual, you know, there are
27:55
Speaker 5: a lot of health risks that are involved.
27:56
Speaker 4: One of the things with you guys. Obviously you work
27:58
Speaker 4: in a line of work where you know it could
28:01
Speaker 4: be August. You guys go out on a call. Yes,
28:03
Speaker 4: you know, you have to be in full gear. So uh,
28:07
Speaker 4: I would imagine number one, y'all can acclimate to what
28:10
Speaker 4: you train for and whatever. But I would imagine you
28:12
Speaker 4: guys are pretty like attuned to the signs of like, hey,
28:15
Speaker 4: someone might be dealing with the heat problem today.
28:17
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure.
28:18
Speaker 13: You know, like you said, we're always a book gear
28:20
Speaker 13: rex on high we sixer out there for hour, so
28:21
Speaker 13: you know, yeah, watching out for each other is huge.
28:24
Speaker 13: Luckily Brian Fire Department were all paramedics, so you have
28:27
Speaker 13: you always have a medical mind totally at.
28:29
Speaker 5: You or looking around.
28:31
Speaker 13: But yeah, so knowing those signs of heat stroke versus
28:33
Speaker 13: heat exhaustion are huge.
28:35
Speaker 4: What are some of the things if you're like, what
28:37
Speaker 4: do you look for to determine whether someone's heat exhaustion
28:40
Speaker 4: heat stroke?
28:40
Speaker 5: Yeah? Good question. So I mean you did have a
28:42
Speaker 5: medical examit, but yeah we did. Thanks for having me
28:44
Speaker 5: on a.
28:46
Speaker 1: Well about dead body, I'm talking to you about living
28:50
Speaker 1: prevention preventing you from seeing her.
28:53
Speaker 5: Yeah. No, yeah, so the you know, heat exhaustion.
28:55
Speaker 13: You're going to see things like, you know, your excessive sweating, uh,
28:59
Speaker 13: maybe some slight business from going from a sitting position
29:01
Speaker 13: to a standing position. You know, general weakness, things that say, hey,
29:06
Speaker 13: you need water, you need to cool down, and when
29:08
Speaker 13: you get those, you need to take heat to that
29:10
Speaker 13: very rapidly.
29:11
Speaker 5: Now, heat stroke is totally different. You see somebody who.
29:13
Speaker 13: Has altered mental status. They're not acting like themselves. Are
29:17
Speaker 13: they not sweating when they should? That's the right one.
29:20
Speaker 13: Your body's lost its ability to you're just tapped out direct.
29:24
Speaker 5: Or just a loss of loss of consciousness. You see that.
29:26
Speaker 5: That needs to be a nine one called.
29:28
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's a critical thing there. You can you
29:31
Speaker 1: can work yourself back from a heat exhaustion, but a
29:34
Speaker 1: heat stroke is a different animal. And am I correct
29:38
Speaker 1: as well that once you've experienced heat related illness, that
29:41
Speaker 1: you are more likely to experience heat related all.
29:45
Speaker 13: Right, if you've had a heat stroke in the past,
29:48
Speaker 13: you were very prone to have another one.
29:49
Speaker 5: Wow, that's a very good point.
29:50
Speaker 13: So if you've had that in the past, you need
29:52
Speaker 13: to take even more precautions.
29:54
Speaker 4: Ok, let's talk back to school because we're almost there.
29:57
Speaker 5: Yes, so it is that time of year school is
29:59
Speaker 5: about to start.
30:00
Speaker 13: I was talking to Seth Waller from a PD and
30:02
Speaker 13: we were talking about this.
30:03
Speaker 5: This is something we'd like to push out every year.
30:05
Speaker 1: Yes, uh it's school Uh, so.
30:08
Speaker 13: Be mindful of school zones, kiddosh school buses.
30:12
Speaker 5: Make sure.
30:12
Speaker 13: Man, if the school bucks school bus has their stop
30:15
Speaker 13: sign it out and their lights are on, just stop.
30:17
Speaker 4: This applies. I'm serious. It's amazing how many people don't
30:21
Speaker 4: understand this applies to the entire road. When you see
30:26
Speaker 4: that sign pop out.
30:28
Speaker 13: Stop stop, even on the opposite of direction, some people
30:31
Speaker 13: will think that.
30:32
Speaker 4: That's what the road, that's what I mean, even though.
30:34
Speaker 1: There's a median involved.
30:36
Speaker 4: Stop, just stop.
30:39
Speaker 13: Stop because those kids can be coming around the front
30:41
Speaker 13: of the bus and they're hopping over to go across
30:44
Speaker 13: your later traffic now and exactly.
30:46
Speaker 5: Stuff.
30:46
Speaker 4: The thing is, I I do. I feel like this
30:50
Speaker 4: happens with you know, Big six and all the construction
30:52
Speaker 4: stuff too, Like just take the extra split second to
30:59
Speaker 4: go slower or give people the benefit of a little bit.
31:02
Speaker 1: Oh we're talking about when they're on the scene, when
31:05
Speaker 1: fire and.
31:06
Speaker 4: Well I'm talking about in general, if you're on the road,
31:10
Speaker 4: even if you think, well, I don't have to necessarily
31:15
Speaker 4: slow down or just just take a second. And it
31:18
Speaker 4: applies to people that are in construct workers. It absolutely
31:21
Speaker 4: applies to you fellas if you're out on the scene,
31:24
Speaker 4: just being a little bit more careful around them and
31:26
Speaker 4: let them do their job, not trying to fly past them.
31:29
Speaker 4: That at whatever you think.
31:30
Speaker 1: Well enacted and it should have been common sense. But
31:35
Speaker 1: like a lot of things, you have to teach people
31:38
Speaker 1: common see, that's the thing.
31:40
Speaker 4: And with with school buses, it's the same thing. I
31:44
Speaker 4: get it. It's not no one likes to get caught
31:47
Speaker 4: behind a school bus, but just deal with it.
31:50
Speaker 5: It's kids, little kids, They're the priority of our communities.
31:53
Speaker 13: Yeah, and you know, going on the construction sid, I
31:55
Speaker 13: think you'd be amazed how many people fly through past
31:58
Speaker 13: us and past construction workers. You know, it is a
32:01
Speaker 13: very high And I don't quote me on this, but
32:03
Speaker 13: I want to say it is one of the number
32:04
Speaker 13: one killers of police some.
32:05
Speaker 4: Fire I see it. I see it every day here
32:11
Speaker 4: even where where you'll just see people do this. In Houston,
32:15
Speaker 4: it was it was an epidemic and we and we
32:19
Speaker 4: lost officers and we lost firefighters because again, yeah, it's
32:24
Speaker 4: it's crazy how people are around it. And again it's
32:27
Speaker 4: just a just think for a second.
32:30
Speaker 5: Kids like to pull out, pull out.
32:31
Speaker 13: This idea too, is that you know how many times
32:33
Speaker 13: have you been in the in the traffic and you
32:35
Speaker 13: see somebody fly past you and the next thing you know,
32:37
Speaker 13: you go past them and you're going to speed then
32:39
Speaker 13: like you're not saving any time now, So it's it's
32:41
Speaker 13: not worth the juice, isn't worth the squeeze.
32:44
Speaker 4: So again, be careful. Remember when the bus stops pops
32:48
Speaker 4: out there, everybody stop, be mindful because we're all going
32:51
Speaker 4: to get back into that routine soon enough. Anything else
32:55
Speaker 4: we want to get to this.
32:56
Speaker 13: I appreciate you having I just want everybody stay safe,
32:58
Speaker 13: watch out for those kiddos, and take care in the heat.
