Today we're going to talk about phone calls.

Weird phone calls.

Now, we realize that in – we were talking about this in the office. We understand that this conversation could get heavy. We would like to – we would like to stay away from it if we could. But understandably, you're going to have to make some heavy phone calls in your life and receive them as well. If that's a story you want to tell, that's fine. Have you ever gotten a heavy phone call to find out it's the wrong number?

I've gotten heavier phone calls where they weren't heavy as much as they weren't there.

So I had a woman who used to call when I was doing overnights and I was in either high school

or at college at this point. And she would call every morning at 3.30 in the morning and asked me what time it was.

And I know she had a clock damn well she did. And she would always ask me what the, what the weather was. Now, I want you to know at that point in time. And I gave her this, there is an, there was an actual number available. Yeah. Where you could call. and we had one to set our atomic clocks as far as our stuff in the radio station. We all did. But just like calling a movie theater and finding out what's playing, you could call this number, and they would tell you the forecast and the time. I don't know why that was a service. It just was. Yeah, I would always tell her. Because we always wanted to know.

Even when you were a kid, you get in an argument. My watch says 405. Mine says 403. And the thing you said to shut your buddy up, I set mine to the radio. Now, she also called other members of the radio station I worked at. I was in there. There was two other radio stations. There was an FM and an AM. I predominantly worked on the FM.

But as you do on overnights. There was two other radio stations. There was an FM and an AM. I

predominantly worked on the FM. But as you do on overnights, you do work for both stations.

So she knew more of the AM people. Those were her people. Those are the people that she called.

And a couple, like, gosh, probably a week to a week and a half goes by. And she doesn't call. Now, every time I work, she calls about 3 o'clock in the morning, 3.30. Without fail. Without fail. So I don't know what to do. So I mentioned it to this guy named Jeff who worked there, who was a news guy in the morning. I said, hey, has she called you at all? And he says, no. And I said, okay. I said, if she doesn't call tomorrow night, I said, I'm going to call the police line. Now, the difference was there's obviously 911. Sure. But this was a news a.m. talk station. So they had all the numbers for the fire chief. You name it. If it was a city councilman, there was a sheet in there, the mayor, if you needed to call somebody for an interview or whatever, they had that list. You call it, but you look it up and find it. Yeah, they had a news list that had those numbers. But there was all, so there was a police kind of spokesperson, right? Right. So I called and left him a message the next day and I said, listen, there's this woman who calls every night. I know she lives in Cassville. I know that Jeff Jenkins, our news guy, knows where he lived because one day she needed something and he took it to her house. Right, right, right. Because they were kind of close as far as where they lived in proximity to each other. He said, don't worry, whatever you need. I'll stop. I'll take care of it. I'll drop it off. And he did.

So he knew where they lived in proximity. He said, don't worry, whatever you need. I'll stop. I'll take care of it.

I'll drop it off.

And he did.

So he knew where she lived.

We had no idea. And the police saw that. We can't give them a dress. Jeff knows where her house is. Yeah, yeah. Also, you know, they could call us back, but we didn't have cell phones.

So it's kind of weird to put this together.

So what ended up happening was the next day. could call us back but we didn't have cell phones so it's kind of weird to put this together so what

ended up happening was the next day so that was a monday jeff met a cop at the mcdonalds near

casfield because they he called the cops and i'll meet you here at 10 yeah 10 a.m whatever and we'll go

over to the house together i'll drive i'll show you where it is and they they went over there and she had passed on. But it was just weird trying to have this communication and call the cops and say, like, I think there's really a serious situation going on with this woman. She's elderly. She might have slipped. And she did. She had fallen. Now, whether she had a heart attack or whatever the deal was. So they had to,
