Brianna, you have a stupid reason you called 9-1-1? Yes. So I actually was not the caller. I was the 9-1-1 operator that did the call. So I answered the phone, and this woman was I rate and screaming and freaking out. And basically, what had happened is she lived in a small community, and she had warned her daughter and mother that if her goat got in the caller's yard again, she would be in a killer to need it. And apparently the goat meandered over and was in her yard. So this is like her last ditch effort was calling 9-1-1 rather than killing the goat. And she was freaking out and yelling and yelling at the goat and yelling at the other woman. It was pretty amazing. Wasn't Michael Jordan or Tom Brady? You know, let's go to the joke. Let's go, right? So how long were you not 9-1-1 people? A couple of years. It was a pretty tough job. At that job, at that specific call, did you send the police there?

Yes, we did. We sent the sheriff actually. It was kind of like a more rural area. So the city police were unavailable. So we sent the sheriff out. Kind of a nice reprieve in the middle of kind of intense stuff, do you know? Do you find out if the how those ended up, if you got deescalated or not, once you hang up, or do they ever give you a report? You could have looked in the notes to find out. So like the sheriff won't call us back, but we could find out. So yes, the goat survived, so that was good. In all your years of being a 9-1 operator, is there any call that sticks with you to which ship in the middle of the night? Yeah, there are some bad ones, but there are definitely some funny ones too. So those are the best ones. Like, do you want one more? That was hilarious. I want a hilarious one, then I want a bad one. OK, let's see. So hilarious one. We were in a very snowy area. And so if people got lost, it was like a really big deal because you had to deploy a lot of different folks

to go find them. So this guy called, and he said that a bunch of people in his party were lost in this snowy like backcountry trip. And I was like, oh, OK, well, how many people are lost? And he said eight, which was quite a bit. And he said, how many people, including yourself, are in your group total? And he said nine. So he was the lost. Yeah, there was a funny about it. He wasn't funny about it and so funny. OK, now give us a give us a second. No, he was trying to be very chill about it. Yeah, all eight of the other people are lost. What was the scare of it? All of the other people were together. Give me the sad darkness of you. Scary one. I mean, it just lots of their car accidents. What about someone in the house? The calls coming from upstairs. None of those. I had some kids that were scared, because they thought somebody broke in their house. They were there alone. And it turned out that a television on their parents' room

was like on a timer. And it happened to come on. And it was like a soap opera or something. So it was adult voices. So I had them all hide in the basement with their dog until the police got there. So that's not what it was. That was smart. OK, let me ask this one. But they were super scared, bless their hearts. They were really scared, but they did the right thing. I want to pretend I'm calling number one. And I want to hear you answer the phone, like an operator, OK? OK, so if I did number one, it rings twice, go. All right, 9-1-1, let's see how aggressive your emergency. Do you say, all right? Or you just go, all right. No, I want you to be, rings, and then you operate it, ready? Go. OK, it rings. It rings, you pick up, you're not ready to go. 9-1-1, let's see how aggressive your emergency. You seem to calm. That's the thing, how to be. Is that how, Brianna, you're supposed to be that calm, because that would be good. Then what was your emergency? Yep, they want you to be super duper calm, so you don't escalate the person on the other end at all. I don't know. God, what's wrong? Oh, yeah, we're right right now.

The goat, the goat in your yard. The goat in your yard. You should call the police. Oh, no. How you up a call that on one? I have a lead. I have a lead. What's the number for that one? All right, Brianna, thank you so much for listening. Thanks for calling in. Yeah, thanks, guys. Thanks for making our morning today. Tyler Reddit here from 2311 Racing. Victory Lane? Yeah, it's even better with Chumba by my side. Race to chumbacasino.com. Let's Chumba. No purchase necessary, VTW Group. Boy, we're prohibited by law. CT and C's, 21 plus sponsored by Chumba Casino. This is Chelsea, handler from Dear Chelsea. After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials, and there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate, and it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school, and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself, but the impact is still huge.

If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that.
