Okay, we're live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show. I'm a very special guest. His name is Jody Ploschet, and he wrote a book back in 2019 titled Why, Gary, Why, which I read through today. Fascinating book, really interesting story. You'll probably find out what his relationship is to some of these, one of the most famous viral videos out there.

But this book right now on Amazon has 193 five-star ratings well-deserved, and you can get

in a Kindle and paperback.

But Jody, Plouchet has worked in the field of violence prevention since 1995.

He attended Louisiana State University where he served on the executive board for men against violence,

a campus organization aimed at preventing campus violence, including sexual assault and physical violence.

Then he worked at the Victim Services Center of Montgomery County in Norristown, Pennsylvania,

and also worked as a sexual assault counselor, as well as a prevention educator. And he has

provided crisis intervention to sexual assault victims on the agency's 24-hour crisis outline,

as well as through in-person supported hospitals and police stations. He's also facilitated

sexual violence risk reduction programs for students,

ranging from pre-K to college.

And he has served on the statewide men against sexual violence committee.

In October 22, 2002, he attended the White House Conference on Missing, Exploited and Runaway Children in Washington, D.C.,

featuring Colin Powell and George W. Bush.

And he also was named the Survivor Activist of the Year by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.

He shared his personal story as well as his knowledge about working with survivors of sexual assault on numerous TV shows, including Geraldo.

Now it can be told more, at the Oprah Winfrey show.

Lisa, Real TV, the Montel Williams show, John Walsh show, CNN's Connie Chunk tonight, ABC World News Tonight, and ESPN's E60.

But again, we're going to talk about this book you were highly recommended.

Title is Y, Gary Y, and the author, again, is Jody Plosha.

So Jody, welcome to the show.
