00:00I've got our retirement plan.
00:08Oh, yeah?
00:09Yeah.
00:09Oh, really?
00:09All set.
00:10Really?
00:10We're all set.
00:11You know how they say you got to keep active, right?
00:13Yeah.
00:14You got to keep going.
00:15I mean, not physical.
00:17Okay.
00:17Keep your mind going.
00:18Okay.
00:19So, you know, one day when we eventually leave this show.
00:23Yeah.
00:24We can read the paper to people.
00:27There's no chance I'm doing that.
00:29Read the paper.
00:29Read the paper to people.
00:31Like a newspaper.
00:32Okay, listen to me.
00:33This is crazy.
00:34I didn't know this existed.
00:35But there's like a volunteer radio station in Iowa.
00:39What?
00:39Where they just read the paper.
00:42Oh, man.
00:43They do it out of the goodness of their heart?
00:44Yes, James.
00:46Every day these people go in.
00:47They spend three hours reading the paper cover to cover for those that can't read.
00:53You know when they say sometimes when you quit work, some people, they just die?
00:57Yes.
00:58I'd rather just die.
00:58Stop it.
00:59No, you wouldn't.
01:00Come on.
01:00I'd rather die than do that.
01:02No.
01:02I would.
01:03I would not do that.
01:03Dave wants to retire from getting paid to do radio to do radio for free.
01:07Yeah, pretty much.
01:08Yes.
01:08I guess you could say that.
01:10Just don't retire.
01:11I guess I could just do this.
01:13Just don't retire them.
01:14I'll just keep doing it then.
01:15And those seniors are going to get the latest in dick news.
01:20This is Dave Hunter news.
01:21Can you imagine?
01:22They'd be frightened.
01:23Dave's got all the tabloid stuff.
01:25All the stuff I normally do.
01:26Like blowing.
01:27What's up his butt?
01:28All the death stories.
01:30He forgot for Chuck to play the drops.
01:32Yeah.
01:32I'll take all my drops with me.
01:34What's up his...
01:36Now it's time to play...
01:39What's up his butt?
01:42Oh my god.
01:44What the hell is this?
01:49Aren't they just reading the newspaper?
01:51This is the newspaper now.
01:53What?
01:55Who?
01:56What kind of Yahoo?
02:01Dave and Chuck the Incontinent.
02:03Yeah.
02:04I just crapped myself.
02:07That's our whole show.
02:09That'll be my tagline.
02:11Every day you'll sign off.
02:12I just crapped myself.
02:15And that's going to do it for us.
02:16We're out of here.
02:18No, so this is really a thing here.
02:21This is a group who volunteer their time to read to folks in Iowa who have trouble seeing.
02:28And, you know, I'm just saying, if we're bored sometime, maybe we can volunteer.
02:32Here's a little news report on it from KCCI-TV.
02:38Oh boy.
02:38Making her a great lap cat.
02:41The voice on the other end of this over-the-air signal feels like a dear friend Kristen Lundgren has never met.
02:50I have to say good morning to them, although they can't hear me.
02:54At a.m.
02:55At a.m. something.
02:56Most friends, they meet every day at her kitchen table.
03:00I just feel like I'm very much involved with the community, even though I don't go anywhere.
03:08She doesn't need to.
03:10Carol.
03:10The friends on the other end are volunteering their time.
03:14There you go, Lise.
03:15My favorite part is that they know current information.
03:20Reading content that isn't even theirs to friends they might not even know.
03:25Iowa players have experienced all years.
03:28The script in front of them is Zane Des Moines.
03:30Look how big the script is so they can see it.
03:33Well, they're seniors too, right?
03:35The people that are reading.
03:36Don't you see the size of it?
03:37Yeah, I can't see anything.
03:38They can barely read themselves.
03:40They're also old, so they need big scripts.
03:43I learned from him for four years.
03:45Holy cow.
03:46He was so good.
03:48Obituary.
03:48Passed away, surrounded by family.
03:51Obituary.
03:51There we go.
03:52Right there.
03:52Sports.
03:53Iowa State's winning streak improved to 11 games Sunday.
03:57And even once for lunch at a local meal site.
04:00They hear us.
04:01They get to know us.
04:02And in many ways, we get to know them.
04:05She was learning.
04:07And in a world of COVID-19 where friends this age maybe couldn't always meet in person,
04:13these friends went above and beyond.
04:15We were making vaccine appointments for people who couldn't navigate through that very difficult system.
04:20Oh, that's good.
04:21That's wonderful, and that they will take the time to do this for us.
04:25That is very important, and I hope that they realize how important it is.
04:31After much praying.
04:32Friends, helping friends.
04:34I messed up.
04:34I'd be swearing.
04:37Son of a bitch!
04:38Yeah, well, you're not getting paid, so I'm not following the rules.
04:41Because, you know, you read an article, and sometimes you mess it up.
04:44Then you screw, then you...
04:45I would be like, yeah, I'd start reading, and I'd be like, ah, forget this one.
04:49Yeah, that's a stupid...
04:51Too many big words.
04:52Who cares anymore?
04:54Wait a minute!
04:55Wait a minute!
04:56He didn't read Article 3 on the front page!
04:58No, I can't.
04:59Well, not so many senior complaints.
05:02Listen, if you happen to know anyone who's on a show that deals with seniors a lot, which I happen to know,
05:09it's not the easiest crowd to please.
05:13No.
05:13Can I tell you that?
05:14They correct everything you do wrong.
05:16Can I tell you that?
05:16Everything.
05:17That would be so bad.
05:18And they've got...
05:19I've never thought about that.
05:20They have the most intense opinions about everything.
05:24Oh, my God, yes.
05:25Because they've got the most time.
05:27Exactly.
05:27They can write and call, and they are sitting by that radio listening to every second of it.
05:32You know what else they hate?
05:33A joke.
05:34My God, they don't like a joke.
05:38Holy cow.
05:40No, there's a time to, like, watch the canopy and pull a goose.
05:47Eject.
05:49Yeah, no, it's not for everyone, but it's a good thing.
05:52It's very nice that they're doing that.
05:53It's a good thing they're doing.
05:54I could honestly see myself volunteering when I'm much, much older.
05:59I would volunteer.
05:59Right?
06:00I would definitely volunteer and do something like that.
06:02I would definitely do Meals on Wheels before I did that.
06:05No, come on.
06:06I definitely would.
06:07That's fine.
06:07Yeah.
06:08As long as you're doing something, I guess, right?
06:10Yeah.
06:11I get it.
06:12I think just, like, to me, this is something, like, maybe you weren't in radio, you didn't
06:17do it, but you always wanted to.
06:19So, like, I think that this is cool.
06:21I think this is a cool thing for someone like that.
06:23Like, in old age, they were like, man, I should have went for that dream, and I never
06:26did, and let them do it.
06:28I'll just, I'll just deliver Meals.
06:32The one said, please do the Old People Morning Show.
06:34I'll listen when I'm old.
06:35Oh, man.
06:37We'll have all of our listeners that are younger, you know, they'll all be older, too.
06:40Oh, we're all seniors together.
06:42Hey, everybody!
06:44Did you guys see the crossword?
06:46Whoa!
06:47Whoa!
06:47Nuts!
06:48Nuts!
06:49Hold on, let me get my magnifying glass.
06:51We're about three years away.
06:52Yeah, that's what it feels like.
06:53Tick, tick, tick.
06:54That's what it feels like.
06:55We'll be talking about all our listeners that are incontinent now from all the butt stuff
06:58they did through the years.
06:59Oh, my God.
07:00Oh, yeah.
07:00Oh, my God.
07:01Oh, yeah.
07:01Oh, yeah.
07:02Oh, yeah.
07:02Oh, yeah.
07:02Oh, yeah.
07:02Oh, yeah.
07:03Oh, yeah.
07:03Oh, yeah.
07:03Oh, yeah.
07:04Oh, yeah.
07:04Oh, yeah.
07:04Oh, yeah.
07:04Oh, yeah.
07:04Oh, yeah.
07:05Oh, yeah.
07:05Oh, yeah.
07:05Oh, yeah.
07:05Oh, yeah.
07:06Oh, yeah.
07:06Oh, yeah.
07:06Oh, yeah.
07:07Oh, yeah.
07:07Oh, yeah.
07:08Oh, yeah.
07:08Oh, yeah.
07:09Oh, yeah.
07:10Oh, yeah.
07:11Oh, yeah.
