00:03:06 - 00:03:58 | Speaker 8:

We're doing a modified show today. We will do a phone scan. We'll have that for you coming up here in just a little bit. But we're also giving you an opportunity just to voice how you're doing. We have so many listeners of ours that are affected by the shooting that took place on campus at Michigan State University. A lot of calls from a lot of parents this morning. A lot of parents whose kids go to school there and just want to honestly share with us how they're doing. And then also, some of them want us to talk to their kids, too, which their kids are trying to sleep in a little bit because they were up late last night. I mean, a lot of kids on campus were up late. Shannon will have more updates throughout the morning. Let's talk to a dad. Hi, Mike. How you doing, buddy?

00:04:01 - 00:04:15 | Speaker 5:

Doing okay. A little bit surreal, as some mentioned. And the reason why I wanted to call, after I got that text, as far as fight, at the very end of it, it was just, I read it two or three times.

00:04:15 - 00:04:50 | Speaker 8:

Let's explain that real quick. First off, you're a dad of, it says up here, a daughter that goes to Michigan State. What's your daughter's first name? I'm just going to call her Mary. Okay. Oh, no, that's okay. Yeah, no, I know. But I just want to make sure that we referred her. We know you're Mike and just know that she's in our thoughts this morning. And the text that you're talking about is the text that we talked earlier this morning, which was sent out to all the students, but also the parents are on that call list. And it was, explain what it said.

00:04:51 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 5:

You know, I deleted it because I thought it might have been junk, but it was to the effect of, you know, there's something going down at MS.

00:05:00 - 00:05:54 | Speaker 3:

and it was I think run um I don't know run protect and fight or something of that nature yeah so um I'm a divorced dad I have two kids I've got a senior up there and a junior and um my daughter it happened right in front of her building so as I was talking to her I could hear the gunfire and she was just hysterical and she said dad dad dad dad dad she's like they're they're shooting and someone just got killed and she saw a young man just lying there and um she saw them put him in a body bag and um you know being taken out of her senior year in covid and you know all the the mental struggles that a lot of kids are going through and adults um just traumatizing so they're going to come home today and take a break even if it's uh two days

00:05:54 - 00:06:00 | Speaker 2:

it'll be longer. Trust me. So are you staying on the phone with her the whole time that this is

00:06:00 - 00:06:12 | Speaker 3:

going on just to give her comfort? Yeah. So I'm a divorced dad. So, um, yeah, I was talking to both of them. So it was my ex. So, um, it was majority was my son cause, uh, he was, you know,

00:06:12 - 00:06:18 | Speaker 2:

in his room by himself and, um, your daughter had her, her roommates with her. Yeah. Yeah. And

00:06:18 - 00:06:24 | Speaker 3:

luckily in their apartment, they have a bar that goes across the front door for security purposes.

00:06:24 - 00:06:27 | Speaker 2:

Are they in the apartments off of Grand River there?

00:06:27 - 00:06:42 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, exactly, where all the action is. So I told them, lock your door, put the door down, or lock the door, put the bar down. Stay away from the windows. Stay away from the windows, go in your room, lock the door, go in the bathroom, lock your door, and just sit tight.

00:06:42 - 00:06:54 | Speaker 2:

So, Mike, talk about this, because we talked to a mom a little bit ago. She got very emotional. Did you hear that call her? Yeah, yes, it is. You seem so calm, but I'm assuming you were not calm inside when this was going on.

00:06:54 - 00:07:24 | Speaker 3:

You know, surprisingly, I was. And it wasn't for the lack of support and love or, you know, anything other than all my energy just channeled right into them. You know, just making sure that, you know, they're okay, trying to be calm so they'd be calm. And it really didn't seem real to me, even though I started seeing this. So my daughter turned her phone around and started to show me, and it was just a numbing feeling, that's all I can say.

00:07:25 - 00:07:41 | Speaker 2:

Well, we're thinking of her, we're thinking of your son, and please know that them coming home is going to be a comfort to them, and they're just going to want to probably have the normalcy of you and their mom around.

00:07:42 - 00:08:18 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, absolutely. And just to your last comment, if I could, not to get a political rant, but it's just interesting, you know, the NRA controls the Republican Party, and I own a gun, and the amendment, I'm all for it. I think it's a mental health issue, but to wrap our heads around it and try to figure out some things, I don't know, I'm a pessimist right now. I think it's virtually impossible, and if we can, you know, leave it to the lawmakers, I don't think it's ever going to happen. So we can hold our breath, but, you know, my thoughts and prayers are with the MSU kids and parents.

00:08:19 - 00:08:20 | Speaker 2:

Thank you, Mike. I appreciate you.

00:08:20 - 00:08:21 | Speaker 3:

Yeah, thanks so much.

00:08:21 - 00:08:22 | Unknown:

Bye-bye.

00:08:22 - 00:08:28 | Speaker 2:

B's son goes to school to Michigan State, and B, he came home last night.

00:08:29 - 00:08:57 | Speaker 4:

He did. He came home last night, and I hugged him really tight, and I broke down crying because all I could think is there are families that will not get to hug their child or their loved one again, and I'm just so grateful he's okay. But my heart is broken for those families that are affected, and their entire lives will be forever changed.

00:08:57 - 00:09:10 | Speaker 1:

We as parents can all put ourselves in those shoes. The kids are still our kids, but they're out of our control. We can't protect them at campus. It's that helpless feeling, just knowing.

00:09:11 - 00:09:12 | Speaker 4:

It's the worst feeling, yeah.

00:09:12 - 00:09:23 | Speaker 1:

To know those kids that were sheltered in place and were, like the last caller, witnessing things unfold and not being able to do anything for them, just so helpless on the other side of a phone.

00:09:25 - 00:09:53 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, it's awful. and I have a junior in high school and we have a group of football moms and one of the mom's daughter was texted her and she shared the text that there's an active shooter and it's right next to our classroom. We're hiding in a closet and I mean all of us just on the edge of our seats holding our breath, praying for our kids and all these families. Nobody should have to experience this.

00:09:54 - 00:09:55 | Speaker 2:

You should never get a text.

00:09:55 - 00:09:58 | Speaker 4:

I'm sorry, go ahead.

00:09:58 - 00:10:06 | Speaker 2:

Say it, Mike, what you're going to say. You should never get a text. that says run hide fight you should never get a text like that no you shouldn't i mean honestly

00:10:06 - 00:10:46 | Speaker 3:

the last caller said he didn't want to politicize it and then there was a caller previously who said that a family went with their guns to me guns are the problem um i mean the number of shootings this year is more than the number of days we've had in the year and it's I just can't wrap my head around how, as a country, this is okay. And that, I mean, we had the guy who did the bomb in his shoe, and everybody has to take off their shoes, and nothing even went down. And yet we have shootings day in and day out, and nothing has changed.

00:10:47 - 00:10:53 | Speaker 2:

It's like that Onion parody headline that says, No way to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens.

00:10:53 - 00:11:12 | Speaker 3:

exactly exactly it's heartbreaking and i'm praying for all the families and i appreciate you guys getting the time and energy to something that is extremely important and needs the conversation so that we don't get desensitized and on the listener on the on the radio when we

00:11:12 - 00:11:23 | Speaker 2:

we sometimes feel like useless idiots we don't we can't we feel helpless as the parents do but we we more than anything our role today is to kind of be a community and kind of give people a chance

00:11:23 - 00:11:39 | Speaker 1:

to feel a sense of togetherness yeah i uh i want to continue to take calls we are going to do some of the things that we do on the show but we have too many good calls and i know these people have places to go to and i don't want them waiting on hold but kim yeah hi what's up tell us your

00:11:39 - 00:11:53 | Speaker 4:

story what's up um we got the well my brother actually called me and said hey i'm gonna see the lockdown and our daughter goes there and um she we got a hold of her she was fine she was safe the whole time.

00:11:53 - 00:11:56 | Speaker 1:

Does she live in a dorm or an apartment?

00:11:56 - 00:12:00 | Speaker 4:

She was in Snyder, which was part of it, right?

00:12:01 - 00:12:43 | Speaker 1:

Which, by the way, is so weird for me because, you know, we just did that tour with Luke. And so I go, okay, I know where this is. Like, we started our tour in the Union, and Berkey Hall we ended up going to, and then Snyder was one of the dorms that you went to to go look at a mock dorm of where your kids are going to go to. And all I kept thinking of the entire time that I was hearing that scanner last night and hearing the police talk about this stuff is I'm thinking, I know all too well where this is. Like, I can picture where it is because I was just there. And as a parent, what were you doing last night when you heard this after you got that phone call?

00:12:43 - 00:12:44 | Speaker 4:

Listening to the scanner.

00:12:44 - 00:12:49 | Speaker 1:

and that was the worst thing you could have done right it's horrible but nobody else had any

00:12:49 - 00:13:19 | Speaker 2:

information and i'm trying to think it was the union shooting first and berkey or was berkey first and union because i want to know are they headed towards abbott and snyder or are they headed towards landon and the other side of campus and i and it's you just think of all the people you know there and you just want to fill yours you don't have any information at that point and and sadly you know the kids don't have any information and the news media wasn't ready yet with any information so we just feel helpless because we can't protect those we love and the scanner that

00:13:19 - 00:13:27 | Speaker 4:

i was getting texts from her friends in the dorm like hey somebody's in the hall bang and then like all you do is like please don't let it be my kid

00:13:27 - 00:13:39 | Speaker 2:

yeah i and that and then miss misinformation runs rampant obviously because everything people are suspect and start the bad information starts spreading and makes people panic even more

00:13:39 - 00:14:22 | Speaker 1:

I was gathering some audio for Shannon for these updates, and some of the audio that I was gathering was students that were in a classroom where this guy went into in Berkey Hall, and to know that you're stuck in, you know, one of these classrooms, and then people that, you know, the union, and you know this, Mom, because you've been on campus, but the union is basically the spot where people are just sitting there doing work and homework and hanging out with each other right there in that open area. innocent yeah and there's nowhere to hide except for behind furniture for god's sakes which is not safe no um is your is your uh daughter home with you or will your daughter

00:14:22 - 00:14:28 | Speaker 4:

stay on campus no we we brought her home and i told her pretty much the whole week during my

00:14:28 - 00:14:59 | Speaker 1:

time i'm not taking her back on thursday that's crazy yeah it's stupid i don't understand that i think that will change i think also it's going to change too because the end of the week there's not as many classes but i listen i thank you for calling i you know i i really feel like this is our approach today just to have conversation because we have to but i also feel like we have to give people like yourself an opportunity just to talk to somebody um because i know you probably have been texting away

00:15:00 - 00:15:01 | Speaker 3:

with friends and family members.

00:15:03 - 00:15:04 | Speaker 6:

Everybody's texting, yeah.

00:15:05 - 00:15:12 | Speaker 3:

Thank you for calling, Kim. Thank you for sharing with us. We're thinking of your daughter, and we love you for that.

00:15:13 - 00:15:14 | Speaker 1:

Thank you. You guys are great.

When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, asked me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron, I said, I'm in. Soon after, I was in their Kohler, Wisconsin foundry, watching molten iron poured, enamel applied by hand, and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship. Since 1883, Kohler cast iron has been crafted by incredible artisans, and seeing it firsthand gave me a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship. Now, I am proud to lend my stamp of approval to my favorite Kohler cast iron products for their durability, beauty, and enduring style. Shop my curated pics at Kohler.com.
