  You think of a real or a social media post like a seed out there
• 0:05
  all by itself, doing its job, linked to SEO, hashtags and
• 0:11
  keywords in your post. And.
• 0:13
  Depending on what kind of audience you have, seeing the
• 0:18
  growth, seeing each individual post act like a way to get a
• 0:29
  client, get the word out about you.
• 0:33
  So if you're a small business out there, that's what I do and
• 0:38
  I love doing it and I'm good at it.

  You want to think of those personalities under your roof.
• 0:46
  The funny guy in the kitchen nobody sees in your restaurant?
• 0:50
  Film him. Sure.

  The people who's cooking their food, you'll get more people.

• 2:58
  mic down a little bit if you know which one it is.
• 3:02
  This is the first time that we've ever did this on remote.
• 3:05
  We like, we're literally doing this in a field, you guys,
• 3:09
  we're. In a field there's a little some
• 3:12
  some grasshoppers, but you know, if you see me in the background
• 3:15
  hopping with them, it's because I've had a lot of coffee.
• 3:18
  Holly, you can sit down. You can sit down.
• 3:20
  I'm happy. OK.
• 3:22
  All right. Well, so how was your drive in?
• 3:24
  It was. Actually really peaceful.
• 3:27
  Yeah, it's. A nice area over here.
• 3:30
  Isn't it beautiful? It's a nice dry.
• 3:32
  We're we're live from Longmont. We're at mile.
• 3:35
  High skydiving, yes, it is really.
• 3:39
  It's really weird. So when you put in the address
• 3:41
  into ways or whatever way you do come, what's going to happen is
• 3:49
  you're going to see the address and then you got to go up a
• 3:52
  little bit. And then we have the brand new
• 3:55
  MBR banner that the Dietz family that Ray they they donated.
• 4:01
  We have a nice little banner out there to kind of show people,
• 4:05
  Hey, it's here, you kind of turn here.
• 4:08
  So we got good thing. Now this is a little bit
• 4:11
  different, Holly, because, you know, I spent more time worrying
• 4:15
  and trying to get this set up rather than your, your, your
• 4:18
  mind. Is like winding.
• 4:20
  Down yeah, now. We're like, you know.
• 4:22
  Yeah, can. You imagine like hustling and
• 4:25
  putting all this what a what a crew here.
• 4:28
  You guys are epic. I got here early.
• 4:30
  It. Literally looks like.
• 4:32
  A full I tried to get here early.
• 4:34
  They the cop don't like me too much.
• 4:36
  He he pulled me over. So I, I got AI got a nice 4th of
• 4:40
  July ticket to remember this event by.
• 4:43
  Yeah, really. Yeah.
• 4:46
  I you know when it's an officer on a bike.
• 4:50
  He's not answered by Dunkin. Donuts and you might want to
• 4:52
  turn my mic down a little bit because I don't want to blow
• 4:55
  anybody's speakers out yeah but and turn Holly's up a little bit
• 5:01
  I can't hardly hear her. I can't hear myself gain.
• 5:05
  Make sure her gain's up I'm. Up.
• 5:08
  Oh, there we go. All right, all right, So man, it
• 5:12
  has been a week and I'll tell you what.
• 5:14
  So we have Channel 9 coming out. We do, we do.
• 5:18
  I, I, I got a confirmation and they were really excited.
• 5:23
  I sent an e-mail yesterday about what was.
• 5:25
  Going on, did you pull strings? I, I guess the e-mail worked.
• 5:31
  I was, I was asking for click, click bait in the e-mail
• 5:34
  heading. And then like literally minutes
• 5:37
  after I sent an e-mail, Evan from Channel 9 News was like,
• 5:41
  can we strap Gopros on your people?
• 5:43
  I was like, yes, hell yeah. Yes.
• 5:46
  And so I'm excited. So what, what we got people
• 5:50
  showing up here, what by 9:00, you guys are going to go through
• 5:53
  the whole safety dance. I I.
• 5:56
  Guess I guess so I, you know, I have AI have a friend, I have a
• 6:01
  friend Edge is coming and the interesting story about my
• 6:04
  friend Edge coming is he was supposed to do the skydiving
• 6:09
  last time, but he had a PTSD episode so he had to he had to
• 6:15
  sit out of skydiving last time. This time he's going to be
• 6:20
  skydiving, so it's like. That's awesome, yeah.
• 6:24
  Yeah, it is a big deal. And you know, for for him to
• 6:28
  hey, I want to give this a go. I want to try this again.
• 6:32
  It's outstanding because, you know, look, it's not just
• 6:35
  skydiving. This is a moment that you're
• 6:39
  gaining independence from, you know, your disability.
• 6:42
  No, you're probably thinking to yourself, oh, well, I ain't got
• 6:45
  no disability. Well, let me tell you something.
• 6:47
  If you wear glasses, that's a disability.
• 6:51
  If you have traumatic brain injury, if you talk like you're
• 6:55
  drunk like I do sometimes, yeah, that's a disability.
• 6:58
  Anything can be a disability. And the one thing that I.
• 7:00
  Was trying to say is don't judge right right?
• 7:03
  Exactly. And the one thing that I like
• 7:05
  about this is not only do we have 3 vets skydiving, but we
• 7:09
  have 3 firefighters now. We have just opened military
• 7:15
  broadcast radio to 1st responders last year.
• 7:18
  So this is a big deal. And I find that a lot of
• 7:22
  nonprofits, they, they say, hey, you know, we're, we want to
• 7:26
  honor, we want to honor veterans and we want to honor first
• 7:29
  responders, But not a lot of nonprofits really key into that.
• 7:35
  They don't really bring in first responders.
• 7:37
  So this is a big deal, especially for firefighters
• 7:40
  because we all know they're going to get called today
• 7:43
  because somebody's going to blow off the fingers.
• 7:45
  Oh geez. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:47
  But stay. Safe with the fireworks.
• 7:49
  Out there, serious happy forest. Happy Independence Day to
• 7:52
  everybody out there. I mean, it's gosh, and and I
• 7:56
  feel like we are in God's country and I'm like, I'm
• 7:58
  looking forward to some serious fireworks.
• 8:00
  And then you guys, you know, doing the the kiss and pray up
• 8:05
  up above, right. So what are you going Joel?
• 8:09
  Are you are you jumping? I'm I'm not planning on it.
• 8:12
  You're not what I'm not planning on it.
• 8:14
  You just came here for your buddies.
• 8:15
  I just came. Here for my buddies.
• 8:17
  I'll go I'll go with them if it's free.
• 8:20
  You have to be a veteran or a first responder or I would.
• 8:24
  I'm deaf. I'm deaf in my right ear.
• 8:25
  I'm disabled. You're you're trying to go.
• 8:28
  Yeah, Heck yeah. Where?
• 8:29
  Where? Lucas is going.
• 8:31
  What are you going to yell? Are you going to yell like unga
• 8:32
  bunga or something fun? Go get over here.
• 8:35
  Get out. There.
• 8:36
  Get over here. We're so bossy.
• 8:38
  Get over here. Get over here.
• 8:43
  We got people in the parking lot checking us out.
• 8:46
  No, I mean like nothing exciting.
• 8:49
  I'm not going to get crazy with it.
• 8:51
  You're not going to get crazy with it.
• 8:53
  I don't know if those earphones work or not, I haven't tested
• 8:55
  them. Oh, they do.
• 8:57
  OK, perfect. So anything going through your
• 9:00
  mind right now like? Oh, I mean, I'm did.
• 9:04
  You call your mom. No, no.
• 9:08
  Actually, actually. I didn't, and I had and I had
• 9:10
  thought about it. But.
• 9:13
  OK, you can't tell your mom to mom.
• 9:16
  I mean, if my son was jumping out of a plane, I didn't know
• 9:18
  about it. I'd be like, what did I not do?
• 9:23
  So since the sun is in our eyes, we have no idea what everybody's
• 9:27
  saying. We we know that Charles is
• 9:31
  tuning in, but I we're in a. Field of Dreams, he says.
• 9:34
  Yeah. Literally Field of Dreams.
• 9:37
  Amber saying happy for us. If you build it, they will come.
• 9:41
  Yes. And guess what?
• 9:43
  It's built. So I, I, I, I got some more
• 9:46
  questions for you, Lucas. Yeah, 'cause I'm super curious,
• 9:49
  right? Right.
• 9:51
  So you didn't call your mom, did you?
• 9:54
  Did you tell anybody like your show people like it's just.
• 9:59
  No, no, just gonna like, I mean, you know, and and, and in my
• 10:04
  defense, like you did come together fairly quickly.
• 10:07
  But. But yeah, I don't know.
• 10:12
  It's. Fair.
• 10:12
  Oddly enough, Like I kind of in a weird way, I just kind of feel
• 10:17
  like this one's for me kind of, you know?
• 10:20
  And. And so I don't know, I and I
• 10:25
  mean, and I don't know, I, I'm kind of, you know, like a little
• 10:28
  too much in my head anyways, you know, I mean, but I really,
• 10:34
  yeah, just kind of, yeah, I wanted it to be mine.
• 10:37
  I don't know but. Yeah, that's that's fair and
• 10:41
  that's cool. No, that's that's cool.
• 10:44
  And and I'm curious because I don't think I would do it.
• 10:48
  I so I'm I'm admiring this like, no.
• 10:50
  Questions asked. I would be in that plane easily.
• 10:54
  Easily. It's like a roller coaster.
• 10:57
  What would you so, but but my thing is is like like if if
• 11:02
  you're up that high and you could say one thing or do one
• 11:05
  thing, you think you're just going to be open to the
• 11:06
  experience and quiet or you think you're going to be like,
• 11:09
  oh, like like I'm. Screaming the whole time, but I
• 11:12
  know that's the fun of it. That's the fun of it.
• 11:15
  I'm going to try to keep a straight, like a roller coaster.
• 11:18
  You always try to keep a straight face the whole time and
• 11:20
  you end up laughing way harder. I would probably do something
• 11:23
  like that. Honestly, that sounds like fun.
• 11:26
  I would do it, no question. That's like for you, like this
• 11:29
  is huge bucket list stuff, you know, chance of a lifetime.
• 11:33
  And especially, you know, for, for the category of humans that
• 11:38
  this is going to be provided for.
• 11:40
  It's just epic. So this this, this who who's
• 11:45
  rolling out the 4th of July with some, some some epic stuff.
• 11:48
  We Oh yeah. How was your drive in?
• 11:54
  Oh, it, it was really good. I mean, I, I was here at six.
• 11:57
  AMI was chilling in. The parking lot.

• 12:08

  So thank you Debbie. We also want to report that

• 12:39

• 12:40
  Do it. It is 8/20. 88280 Wow, we are
• 12:45
  way off, but that's OK. We'll, we'll play a couple of
• 12:49
  videos just to make sure everything is running smooth.
• 12:52
  Once again, we are live here, the first time ever in MBR
• 12:57
  history where we are live off grid here at Mile High Skydiving
• 13:03
  here in Longmont. You're listening to the Morning
• 13:06
  Woods show right here on the station.
• 13:07
  That's one of your veteran's voice to be heard, MBR.
• 15:29
  detail attention. First call the service members
• 15:36
  name is called out loud in the context of a unit.
• 15:40
  This is meant to ensure all are present and accounted for.
• 15:44
  Second call, the name is called out again, louder to confirm
• 15:48
  that the service member is indeed absent. 3rd call, the
• 15:52
  name is called out for a final time, followed by a statement
• 15:56
  indicating that the service member is not present and
• 15:58
  accounted for, signifying their death.
• 16:01
  The final roll call serves as a symbolic gesture to respect and
• 16:05
  remember their service. Sir, I don't.
• 16:14
  I don't know. How to tell the story?
• 16:17
  Well, you got the joke. I'm telling her people what
• 16:20
  these men did here. You tell them how much troopers
• 16:23
  died. Hey everyone, thank you for
• 16:53
  tuning in to MBR today as we pay tribute to U.S.
• 16:56
  Army Sergeant Frederick LS Freddie Simon, 95, of Wichita,
• 17:02
  KS. Freddie was born on February
• 17:04
  24th, 1925 in Colwich, Kansas to JV and Lizzie Simon.
• 17:10
  Freddie was the youngest of nine children, four brothers and four
• 17:14
  sisters. He grew up on a farm near
• 17:16
  Colwich. After Freddie graduated from
• 17:19
  Saint Mary's Cathedral High School in 1943, he joined the
• 17:22
  Army following three of his brothers into military service.
• 17:26
  Upon completion of basic training at Fort Riley, he was
• 17:30
  assigned to the First Cavalry and was transferred with his
• 17:32
  unit to the South Pacific. He served with honors as a
• 17:36
  Browning Automatic Rifleman in numerous campaigns throughout
• 17:39
  the region for 20 months and was awarded mini medals and ribbons
• 17:43
  for his heroic actions, including the Purple Heart and
• 17:47
  the Bronze Star. He was honorably discharged in
• 17:50
  October of 1945 at the rank of Sergeant a month after the
• 17:55
  surrender of the Japanese forces in the Philippines.
• 17:58
  Breddy returned to Wichita when the war ended and enrolled at
• 18:01
  Wichita University under the GI Bill and obtained his bachelor's
• 18:05
  degree in accounting in 3 1/2 years.
• 18:08
  He played varsity basketball for the Shockers in 1946 and married
• 18:12
  Norma Jean in 1947. On a hot summer day one year
• 18:18
  later, the first of their six children arrived.
• 18:22
  After graduating in the summer of 1949, Freddie took a job with
• 18:26
  a startup, Liquor and wine Wholesale distributorship.
• 18:29
  He worked with that company and its affiliates for 56 years,
• 18:33
  raising to the position of president.
• 18:37
  Freddie visited schools and civic organizations, telling his
• 18:40
  stories about his time in the service and speaking to the
• 18:43
  groups about the price of freedom.
• 18:46
  At last count, he had made over 100 appearances.
• 18:50
  In 2002, at the young age of 77 and still working full time in
• 18:54
  the beverage industry, Freddie agreed to lend his name and life
• 18:58
  story to a new startup that his sons Randy and Bill and its
• 19:03
  business partner Scott were forming, what is now known as
• 19:08
  Freddie's Frozen Custard and Steak Burgers.
• 19:12
  The Freddie's was growing fast and Freddie was involved to a
• 19:15
  larger extent, so he retired from the wine and liquor
• 19:19
  business in 2005 to travel to openings and become the full
• 19:23
  time spokesperson for his namesake company.
• 19:28
  At age 80, Freddie became a first, became first a local and
• 19:33
  soon a national celebrity. He made appearances at the new
• 19:37
  restaurant Openings around the country, signing autographs and
• 19:41
  cutting the ribbons at many of the openings, and traveling with
• 19:44
  his sons as the brands spread nationwide.
• 19:50
  Freddie will always be remembered for his engaging
• 19:52
  smile and his Freddie hugs. He was kind to everyone he met
• 19:57
  and always took the time to share stories.
• 20:00
  Freddie was an active member of the VFW and the Purple Heart
• 20:04
  Society. And he is survived by his 95
• 20:08
  year old foxhole wedding brother Martin Gonzalez, who is an
• 20:12
  active monk in the Trappist Abbey in Carleton, Oregon.
• 20:18
  They reunited after the war and returned together to the
• 20:21
  Philippines in 2004 for the 60th anniversary of the Battle of
• 20:25
  Lake Eagle. Freddie died on October 25th,
• 20:29
  2020 surrounded by his family. Freddie is survived by his
• 20:34
  children Sue, Frederick, Randy and John as well as 14
• 20:38
  grandchildren and 20 great grandchildren.
• 20:41
  Preceding him in death where his parents JV and Lizzie, his
• 20:46
  siblings, his wife of 71 years Norma Jean and their sons
• 20:50
  William and Chris. We here at MBR would like to

  And we have 3 firefighters you heard from earlier and we're
• 25:44
  getting ready to watch it. So now our stuff might get muted
• 25:52
  after a while just because of the simple fact that on the
• 25:56
  social media, we can't play, you know, the music that we want to.
• 26:01
  So we're going to play some of the music that we can't play
• 26:06
  until they come up skydiving. And then we're going to play
• 26:09
  some really rocky music. And you're going to be able to
• 26:12
  see these heroes fly through the air.
• 26:15
  Once again, for everybody that's joining in, you're listening to
• 26:20
  military broadcast radio where we use rehabilitation.
• 26:25
  We use broadcast in as a way to rebuild a so that veterans and
• 26:30
  1st responders can tell their stories and their struggles.
• 26:34
  And we we're going to get ready and play.
• 26:37
