| 0:00.0 | On a traditional episode of Wedway Radio, you would hear Nate and me talk about an attraction or discuss touring around one of our favorite Disney theme parks. |
| 0:20.3 | However, tonight we have the opportunity to do something we've never done on this show, |
| 0:24.6 | and that's to put our love of Disney aside for just a few moments |
| 0:27.5 | and focus on an event that has crippled a region of our state. |
| 0:32.2 | The last 24 hours have been some of the most trying and inspirational that I have ever experienced. |
| 0:38.0 | As I'm sure you're now aware, Joplin, Missouri, located a few dozen miles from my home, was |
| 0:43.6 | struck by what experts are calling an F4 tornado on Sunday, May 22nd. |
| 0:49.5 | The storm led to the deaths of over 100 people while injuring and displacing thousands more. |
| 0:55.0 | Despite the devastation, though, the citizens of this area and the rest of the country |

| 1:37.3 | you guys have had tornadoes recently as well, right? Yeah, we have. I mean, it just seems like this just, the season just keeps going and going. And, you know, the bad thing is, is just the level of devastation that we're seeing. And it's really hard when it's hitting, like you said, in stuff with Disney on the show, but like these are, |
| 2:01.2 | you know, these are people in our state, but they're also, you know, people in the country. |
| 2:05.0 | And if you've seen Joplin on TV in the last 24 hours, I mean, it's a mess. And, you know, |
| 2:11.7 | so, you know, one of the main reasons why we wanted to do the show tonight is to give you the |
