Welcome to Eden and Amadeus, the podcast. We've got our weekly review of our Battle of the Sexes games and a really interesting interview coming up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a friend of mine, her daughter, last year. This was really upsetting. Her daughter was hit by a homemade firework, kind of it was the plastic. Well, there's a whole whole backstory to that and we're going to talk to her and also her little daughter, Sloan, and hear what went down as a cautionary tale. And you don't want to miss it, because it's actually when you hear about how how this thing just went wire it's it's just so disturbing.
Speaker 1:So the thing is, it could happen to anyone.
Speaker 2:It really could.
Speaker 1:And I think it's good to listen to this because it just makes you maybe a little bit more careful, even that much more.
Speaker 2:And I think we all have people in our lives too that you're going to have a relationship where one person in the family is the one that wants to light off all these fireworks and do all these adventurous things and go bigger every year, and then you've got the other person who's trying to talk them out of it. So if you're that person that's trying to talk someone out of it, you're going to want to play this for them. Just forward to that part and play. Make sure they listen to this.
Speaker 1:You know where I am on this Cause. You know me very well.
Speaker 2:I'm saving every penny and I was cleaning out my office and I found this game that I remember I brought this in, but we haven't really done anything with it. I want to say it was from Christmas a few years ago. It was a gift. It's called Hot Seat the game. That's all about you, and I haven't read the instructions or anything, but it's a huge deck of cards that have these questions on them and I'm guessing that you sit around with other people and you have to answer the questions about yourselves. I don't know how it is in game form, but I know that we have this cool deck now some of these will probably start using on social media. Let you guys answer them, but I thought it would be fun to. I'll give you a bunch and put you on the spot. We won't look at them.
Speaker 2:And so I'll start. Okay, I'll ask you this. Oh, sometimes you're asking other people about yourself, so it says what do I exaggerate about the most? So I guess I'd be asking you.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're asking me Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess that's how it works. So what do I exaggerate about the most? Gosh, that's a tough one. I think it's better if you ask yourself I like introspection better. I think I exaggerate the most about how bored I am. I'll walk around my house. I'm like I'm so bored, oh my gosh. That's really a complaint, though more than it is an exaggeration. What do you think you exaggerate about? Let me think millions of things, do I? No, I'm just exaggerating.
Speaker 1:Ah, I don't, I don't know if I exaggerate about a whole lot. I think that when you're on the radio and you're a storyteller, sometimes there's going to be some exaggeration but I'm thinking about like in my personal life, like day to day, like I think I'm kind of a of a of a even keel kind of. I don't know, do you think you exaggerate about something?
Speaker 2:I don't know that I do I don't know I don't think I do either I don't, uh, I just don't like I go fishing and I exaggerate about right, right, and I don't go off and I don't bowl, I I don't do anything. To exaggerate, I'm so boring. All right, how about this one then? What is my go-to snack?
Speaker 1:What is?
Speaker 2:your go-to snack.
Speaker 1:Probably banana with peanut butter and after that the cheese crackers with peanut butter.
Speaker 2:Peanut butter is always my go-to snack At home.
Speaker 1:I've been, really I've been getting into this yogurt with peanut butter mixed in. Yeah, that's kind of my thing at home.
Speaker 2:now, that would be good too. It's so good it mixes. Okay, you know what Do you have to use a blender for that.
Speaker 1:I just use a spoon. But peanut butter with anything Banana cheese, crackers, yogurt, hot dogs.
Speaker 2:What is the largest change that will happen for you in the next five years?
Speaker 1:I got a big birthday coming up. So for you in the next five years, who I got a big birthday coming up, so do you yeah in the next five years.
Speaker 2:Yes, we're both turning 30. It's crazy, nuts. And okay, what else? Gosh, I don't know maybe I don't even want to know.
Speaker 1:I mean, I feel like we are both probably at a point now.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm gonna move on. I don't even want to talk about what kind of changes.
Speaker 1:I know yours is what I think. Within the next five years, you're going to become a grandmother.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God.
Speaker 1:I think that's, that's your mouth to God's ears. What about for me? Do you think I have one Cause? I really don't. I think I'm just one of those huge change for you.
Speaker 2:This is going to sound crazy, but you know it'd be a huge change for you If you got a pet. That would be a huge change for you. This is going to sound crazy, but you know what would be a huge change for you If you got a pet.
Speaker 1:That would be a massive change for you. That would be a life-changing thing for you, but I think I'm just one of those girls that peaked in high school.
Speaker 2:You probably are All right, let's see. Let's see. Do you have anything that stands out to you in your little deck. The first question.
Speaker 1:Is there answers to these? No, you have to have the answer. The first question on the thing you handed me is what does the acronym SEAT stand for? S-e-a-t.
Speaker 2:And you're supposed to make something up, I guess.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh.
Speaker 2:So we're not going to do that. We ain't got time for all that.
Speaker 1:We don't have time for that. Okay me up at night. Or am I asking you what keeps you up at night? I?
Speaker 2:think we just make these general questions. I think, though, for the game this game, hot seat I could read the directions, but what's the fun in that? I think you sit around and you ask other people to talk about you.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, I think Alright so the question on the card is what keeps me up at night? So am I asking you what keeps you up at night?
Speaker 2:No, you're telling me what keeps you up at night.
Speaker 1:So I'm telling you what keeps me up at night, mostly work stuff, and yeah, just mostly thinking about did I do this, did I do that, what's coming up tomorrow? What's coming up this weekend?
Speaker 2:And for me it's living in the past. It's why did I say that I wish I could take that back? Or I wonder if so-and-so thinks I meant this when I meant that. Oh, wow so you're forward anxiety, I'm backwards anxiety.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess. So All right, who is my favorite athlete?
Speaker 2:Your favorite athlete? Is it Trevor Lawrence? Do you have a favorite athlete?
Speaker 1:Is it Joey?
Speaker 2:Chestnut. Yeah, let's say Joey Chestnut, competitive eater Joey Chestnut. If.
Speaker 1:I had to pick one, I guess that would be it, because I don't have a favorite athlete at all. I just don't follow sports enough to even have one.
Speaker 2:Do you?
Speaker 1:have a favorite athlete?
Speaker 2:Well, I would say right now it's Trevor Lawrence. Okay, I just love that cute man and his little cute wife with her little cute baby bump.
Speaker 1:All right. If I became an overnight celebrity, what would I be famous for?
Speaker 2:Okay, this is what I think you'd be famous for. I think you would say something that went viral and, like we'd say it on the air and I would be hilarious, so I would put it on social media.
Speaker 1:I'm going to say something hilarious.
Speaker 2:Yes. And I think it'll go viral overnight. I mean not like Hawk 2 viral, but like something funny like legitimately funny Okay. Alright, what do you think?
Speaker 1:I think that we could possibly be on the air and you could say something funny that might go viral.
Speaker 2:That's not what you think. That's what I think. What could I be famous for I?
Speaker 1:really think that you have the potential to be famous as a marathon runner on like different continents, different countries, like that could be like where you're headed because you're headed there.
Speaker 2:I'm headed there, but I think, the only way to stand out because I'm so far behind some of these people as far as, like, there are some people out there that do nothing but this but I could be the oldest if I keep going, like I could be 110 one day?
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, that's not going to be it.
Speaker 2:Yes, it could totally be it, it could be. I'm that scrappy.
Speaker 1:But I think there's something else that could happen. That could just make you an overnight celebrity. Like you know, something happens, like you're going to Australia soon, right, like maybe something happens, and you end up like on every news platform in the world because I get attacked by a kangaroo, or maybe the dingo eat your grandbaby. Yes, not my new grandbaby, that I just got all right. What is something I hate having to pay for?
Speaker 2:oh you, that's everything, that's literally everything everything you don't like to pay for new soap. You want to make it last.
Speaker 1:You don't want to buy more toilet paper than you have to I read this week that the average household takes five days to go through a roll of toilet paper, and we know how long it takes me right.
Speaker 2:Like a month.
Speaker 1:Yeah, six weeks about About a month and a half.
Speaker 2:That's because you don't have any girls in your house.
Speaker 1:Maybe that's what it is. Maybe the average has girls in the house Five days. What the hell are you people doing out there?
Speaker 2:Well, when you have girls in the house, we use it for both things.
Speaker 1:Oh, you got to use a lot. Oh, you mean for your butt and your face.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Maybe that'll go viral and I'll be an overnight sensation.
Speaker 2:What song always makes me sing along? What song always makes you sing along? I?
Speaker 1:feel like that Cole Swindell song Heads Carolina.
Speaker 2:I think everybody sings to that. I Cole Swindell song Heads Carolina. I think everybody sings to that I agree yeah. It's hard not to.
Speaker 1:I always feel like when I hear that song, I always think of you singing along to that song.
Speaker 2:What song do you always sing along to?
Speaker 1:You know what Anything Keith Urban is singing and I'm more of a Kenny Chesney guy, but Keith Urban, there's something about his songs that puts joy in my heart.
Speaker 2:Aw, there's something about his songs that puts joy in my heart. Aw, he's joyful. Speaking of Keith Urban, tonight is the night that the movie that his wife, nicole Kidman, is in with Zac Efron hits. It's called A Family Affair and there are reports that the chemistry between them is so great that Keith Urban is upset. I don't know if it's true.
Speaker 1:It's just gossip, but I'm going to watch that movie. I was upset and I'm not even married to her. I was upset for Keith.
Speaker 2:You felt betrayed.
Speaker 1:I think the first time I saw it I came in and told you you did you saw the trailer and?
Speaker 2:you said there's something there, there's something happening there.
Speaker 1:That chemistry is more than normal.
Speaker 2:I love the premise, though I guess Joey King is the daughter that used to be involved or not involved, but work for this movie star, and then she realizes that he's having a fling with the mom and so she's going to try to put a wedge between them.
Speaker 1:It looks really cute what's the age difference between uh? Zach, efron and nicole it's got to be at least like what maybe 10, 15, no like 15 15, 20 and more, oh, maybe what is she like late 40s?
Speaker 2:I was thinking more oh, maybe. What is she Like late 40s?
Speaker 1:Oh, I was thinking she was like probably in her 50s.
Speaker 2:Oh, you want to ask Siri.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. And how old is he?
Speaker 2:He's got to be in his late mid 30s.
Speaker 1:Let's see.
Speaker 2:I don't even know.
Speaker 1:How old is Nicole Kidman? Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 2:Okay, he's asked she 57. Oh my God, no, she's not. Well, that's what. That's not fair.
Speaker 1:How old is Zac Efron 36.
Speaker 2:Okay, so there's a 21 year difference. Okay, yeah. Well, if you look like Nicole Kidman, you get to do that.
Speaker 1:If you look like Zac Efron, you get to do that. Anyway, anyway, to get to do that. Anyway, Anyway yeah, that movie looks great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it looks really, really cute. I can't wait to see it. All right, let's transition, if we could, into this phone call we had with my friend Shay, and first we talked to Sloan and then we got the scoop from Mom Hi.
Speaker 3:Tell us what happened last Fourth of July. So one of my friend's dad put like the firework upside down in the PVC tube and it kind of exploded Like one of the pieces or segments kind of flew into my stomach.
Speaker 2:Mom, let's ask you a couple questions. Walk us through what happened. You're sitting there with friends and family and you hear what a scream?
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, so actually we've always done fireworks at home. My dad that passed his birthday is 4th of July, so we've always done a big thing and never really thought that much about fireworks at home until the year before exploded in our house, like on our front porch, and so last year I was like absolutely not, we're not doing it in the cul-de-sac, I feel very uncomfortable, doesn't feel safe. So we went to a house party where they were going to do them over, like this big lake. So I felt better about that. Well, they had, um, like fishing, like, uh, fishing poles, like plastic that stay out, where you would like hold your fishing pole rod for an extended period of time. So instead of using the parts that come with the fireworks, they just started loading them into the PVC pipes, and whether one went in upside down or one just didn't launch, we don't really know, but basically turned it into a pipe bomb.
Speaker 5:Oh my gosh turned it into a pipe bomb. Oh my gosh, um like basic, go ahead, no you. Then what happened? Well, like um, almost like a war, uh, shrapnel went everywhere. Actually many people got hit um, but sloan happened to be the kid closest she was actually pretty far away but just the closest kid to it and um, a piece entered like right above her groin and then ricocheted around in her intestines, sliced open six parts of her intestines and, thankfully, landed in her colon, um which we're always trying to lose fat, us women. But thankfully your colon has a ton of fat around it and it almost plugged the wound, um, which allowed her to not basically bleed out. So we were able to get her to the hospital and thankfully we have Wolfsons here and they did emergency surgery. And you know, when we went into surgery they said we're going to try two things One, we're going to try to save her life and two, if we do that, we're going to try to not have her on a colostomy bag for the rest of her life.
Speaker 1:So gosh what was going through your mind at that point.
Speaker 5:Uh well, you know, as a parent, you're like, okay, I just need number one. Like do I want my kid to have a colostomy bag? Absolutely not. But I'll take her life over that, we'll deal with whatever. Whatever else comes.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 5:But like if I could have a second miracle also, please. This child is like the most active child in the world, like it will devastate her, so it's just like a long four hours. You're just sitting there not knowing, and then you know he came out. And he came out with that picture that even you know that I posted, that shows the piece of plastic in her colon. And he and he gave me other pictures that showed all the places he had to stitch up inside of her intestines and they saved her life and all in all she was in the hospital for 19 days but she has pretty much made a full recovery. I mean, she has a few scars, battle scars, yep, battle scars. I mean she just got stitches the other day, so she's my scar collector, um, but she's tough and, uh, she's back at soccer. You know she can probably kick most people's butts in a, in a five K again, um, so we feel we feel good about where she is, but she'll always be high risk, uh, for, like a, an intestinal blockage.
Speaker 5:Good about where she is, but she'll always be high risk for, like an intestinal blockage. So you know, if she gets the stomach flu and it's really bad, we probably have to go back to the ER because we're never going to just be able to assume it's a flu, like we probably got to go get scanned and just make sure.
Speaker 2:So so what's your message? First you, shay, and then Sloan. What is your message to people this 4th of July?
Speaker 5:Well, I started the story because I want people to know like we were those people that did it at our house all the time, like it was special to us, we liked it, it was fun, we never thought anything bad was going to happen and then two years in a row, something bad happened and it's just totally not worth it. Like you're not professionals, you don't know what most I'm not going to say everybody, but most people don't know what they're doing. Most people are drinking all day and I'm not saying drinking had anything to do with her accident, but just in general, by the time you get to nighttime, people have been drinking. You get to nighttime, people have been drinking. There's always children around and it's just so unstable and like you could ask any ER. Like kids are there all the time with fingers, hands blown off.
Speaker 5:I mean I literally almost lost my daughter and it can happen to you. And it's just like just go to the beach, just go someplace where you can watch beautiful fireworks from a safe distance, where professionals are putting them off, because these backyard fireworks Never again. Never again. Like if somebody lost their kid after everything that I have done, like they would never forgive themselves too. Everything that I have done Like they would never forgive themselves too. If they see my posts about Sloan and then they go and do it this year and something happens to their kid, I can't imagine the guilt that they're going to live with for the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1:That's a good point.
Speaker 2:Shay, thank you, sloan. Sloan, are you there? Yeah, okay, and you're okay with not having those fireworks shows right by your house, right? You're good now with just going and seeing them somewhere else, definitely.
Speaker 5:She actually asked if we could go out of the country.
Speaker 1:Well, they don't even celebrate July 4th. Shay, my birthday is July 5th. When I was a kid, I always thought we were going off to this special birthday party just for me, for fireworks. And so my whole life I've always gone to watch fireworks and never played around really much with the home version.
Speaker 2:Well, we were big on it in our old house Steve used to, he and the neighbor Joe I mean. They always did it, but we never got brave enough to where they were putting it in other things. But I think that's like, it's like a gateway.
Speaker 5:you know, you start off and you're like let's go bigger, let's go better yeah and you know I think that's my number one takeaway, because that's what happened both years. The first year that I was telling you about that, it went into our house. They were actually using the like the pipes that come with the fireworks, but because so many um different houses had brought different packs, they no longer knew like which tubes went with which fireworks and all that happened was one tipped over. They lit it and then it tipped over and it basically just started spinning like spin the bottle.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 5:And there were people everywhere and it did explode into our house and that was like I am done. I am done with this in our like, in our cul-de-sac.
Speaker 1:But, yeah, because that becomes a game of roulette when it's just spinning and everyone's standing there like who's going to get it.
Speaker 5:Yep, you have no idea which one it's going to explode on and thank God there was. No, there were no people in the past, you know, and our house was. We actually still I haven't even repainted it because it's kind of like a reminder but there's like a black char line at our entrance.
Speaker 1:Something we were going to talk about, because we're talking to you and I just want to reiterate, like, how great we are, or how lucky we are to have these hospitals, this Children's Hospital, in town. I mean, we've been going there and also UF Health, we've been going there and doing work with them pretty much our entire radio career. And I don't have kids, but I mean that's one of my favorite parts of living in Jacksonville is that we have Wolfson. I mean I just, I, just I'm so thankful for that, for that hospital.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that hospital, um, everyone was so amazing to Sloan and I, I will say, completely sidebar um, the trauma kids at Wolfson's wind up on the oncology floor they share a floor Um, that was a very eye opening for our family too was being up there with the kids that are battling cancer, because you're thinking to yourself like, oh my God, could this get any worse for us? And then you look around and you're like, yep, it sure can. And like when we were there we got to see a couple of kids like ring their bell for ending chemo and things like that. So on a whole different level it was a whole nother experience of like something we probably hopefully will never have to experience again. But so amazing to see those doctors and the nurses at work and see those kids recovering. And yeah, sloan made bracelets for almost all the patients on the floor.
Speaker 2:Well, it's a cautionary tale. What can we say?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, thank goodness you mentioned earlier there's a happy ending, but what a tragic, tragic thing to go through.
Speaker 2:Oh, I mean so much worry.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So much worry, so much anxiety and so scary for Sloan and her family.
Speaker 1:Thinking about the doctor's safe. First of all, we're going to try to save her life and then we're going to try to make sure that she doesn't have to have a colostomy bag for the rest of her life. And you're like what?
Speaker 2:I can't even wrap my brain around it and she is, as Shay said, she is a super active little girl and just you know you hate to see that for any kid.
Speaker 4:All kids are active.
