00:00So, I'm sure other people have to deal with this too, but if you live somewhere that has been having ice storms, like we have here in Michigan, falling ice then becomes a problem when it warms up a bit.
00:17So here, in the parking lot of the radio station, we have a gigantic tower that beams our signal out to the masses.
00:27Yeah, right. About 35, 40 feet.
00:30Pretty unusual to have your tower right.
00:32Right in your radio station parking lot. Generally, it's off-site somewhere. For some reason, ours is here.
00:37And every time after ice, it rains stabbing ice objects.
00:43Right, ice meteors.
00:45Well, honestly, so...
00:47We always get out of here before...
00:49Lisa, yesterday...
00:51Oh my God, so yesterday, me and Lisa went out at the same time, and we had to scrape the ice off all our cars.
00:58And Lisa got in her car, and she turned it on for what seemed like 30 seconds, and the ice just melted away.
01:04And then she got out to, like, scrape, and the ice was just fine.
01:06But at one point, she, like, kind of slips a little and looks up at the tower, and is just like,
01:10Oh, S!
01:15And then gets back into her car.
01:16Because you started to point out the fact that...
01:18I was like, Lisa!
01:19I don't know how much longer we got to until he starts raining here, Terry!
01:23Why don't you get in your car!
01:25Get in your car!
01:26Save yourself!
01:27It's like an action movie.
01:28I was yelling and screaming and talking about retiring somewhere warm.
01:33It was like, why do we live here?
01:35There was a lot of emotion happening in that parking lot yesterday.
01:38I was very concerned about Lisa.
01:40Like, I was like, get in your car!
01:42Get out of here!
01:43Yeah, you're trying to help me.
01:43Save yourself!
01:45She had her little boots on yesterday, and she'd hit some ice every once in a while and
01:48kind of be like, this is a little Lisa slip.
01:50Oh, yeah.
01:51I picture you trying to save Lisa, though, like a very majestic action hero type moment.
01:57She's like, in her car, there's like, she didn't have a lot of problems or anything.
02:00I don't know what I was trying to save her from.
02:02But like, I was in, like, I was scraping my car like it was an ice sculpture of a terrible
02:07Pontiac.
02:09I was scraping for what seemed like two days.
02:12God, it's perfect.
02:13And then I look over and Lisa starts scraping, and I was like, oh, go help Lisa.
02:16And like, I touch the ice with just like the tip of my thing, and it's like, all the
02:21ice just flies off.
02:22I'm like, what kind of car?
02:24Oh my God, it's amazing!
02:26I'm like, holy crap!
02:27And then she did, she had her little winter hood up with all the, like, fur on the, like,
02:32top, and she's like, oh, ass!
02:34Because I had said something.
02:35I was like, the tower lease!
02:37Sky, sky ice!
02:41And at first, you didn't know where you parked your car.
02:44I know, I was like, I can't find it!
02:45I was like, I can't find it!
02:46I was like, I was like, I can't find it!
02:47Because there was ice everywhere, and I'm like, Andy, where's your car?
02:50I'm like, I hope I find it before the ice shoots my head through my body!
02:53I couldn't remember if you left it out, like, outside the gates.
02:58I couldn't, I couldn't, in my emergency spot, I couldn't remember, I was like, where is it?
03:03And then I had pulled it around, I guess.
03:05Action tarot moves again.
03:06Yeah.
03:06I'm gonna turn it down.
03:11Makes no sense.
03:12Oh, but yeah, that was just a funny little experience.
03:14But someone did get, not hurt luckily, but their car, right?
03:18Yes.
03:18Yeah, a promo person from one of the other radio stations, like, ice fell through her back window.
03:23Oh, it's awful.
03:25Well, what people don't realize is, so this, the building that we're in now, it was new,
03:30they built it, and it's a little bit further away from the tower, but the old building where
03:35all these stations used to be is right under the tower.
03:38Mm-hmm.
03:39And they used to just be decimated by giant ice missiles.
03:44So you could just be on the air, and ice could just come through the ceiling.
03:47Someone was, the story goes that someone was at a desk, and they were, like, typing on
03:52a computer, and a giant icicle flew through the ceiling and destroyed the monitor of the
04:01computer right in front of them.
04:04Yeah, I've heard so many stories, like, Ken will tell you, like, Ken had hurt his toe
04:07or something that day, and was, like, had a bad toe, and was dragging people out, like,
04:11survivors or whatever.
04:12It's crazy.
04:14You didn't have to work in it like that.
04:15It shouldn't be like that.
04:16No, there's hardhats by the back door.
04:18Yeah, did you see all the hardhats when we walked in?
04:21You walk in, it was like...
04:22What's a hardhat gonna do?
04:23No, it'll stop for brain injuries.
04:25Will it?
04:26What are you talking about?
04:27I think that a piece of ice that falls from 100 feet up in the sky.
04:29Dude, you're dead.
04:30If one of these pieces of ice hits you, you're dead.
04:33There's no...
04:33You don't think a hardhat would stop that?
04:35Oh, my God.
04:36One of these plastic ones?
04:37Isn't that how they described it?
04:39Like, hitting that car?
04:40Our engineer, Sherry, was right beside it.
04:43Aren't they made to prevent stuff like that from giving you head injuries?
04:46Oh, it's to make you feel good.
04:48It's to make you feel good.
04:49It's like for something little that might fall on you.
04:51But if you have a big piece of ice that falls from that, it's gonna break your neck.
04:56Yeah, you're dead.
04:57It's honestly gonna pancake you.
04:59You're gonna be way different after that.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Pancake you?
05:02Come on.
05:03Dude, if...
05:03It's scary.
05:04It's scary.
05:05Yeah.
05:05If a hundred-pound chunk of ice falls from 1,000 feet and hits you...
05:12But it's not 1,000 feet.
05:14How tall do you think that tower is?
05:17You're thinking it's falling from the very top of the tower.
05:20If it falls from 100 feet, you're probably not good.
05:26No.
05:27Like, you're probably...
05:28Like, it...
05:29Sherry told me that one time they went out there and someone's car, the whole roof of
05:34it was flat, like you see in a movie, where, like, someone jumps out of the building and
05:40lands on a car and it flattens the top of it, smashes all the windows out.
05:45It flattened the whole, you know, roof of their car.
05:50Oh, it's like a missile.
05:52Oh.
05:53Oh.
05:53Oh.
05:53Oh.
05:55Oh.
05:55Oh.
06:04Ah.
06:09Oh.
