Cail & Company LIVE with The Dept of Safety & Ringling Bros Circus

·45 min·4 clips

New Hampshire's 911 director is the second cousin of Olympic gold medalist Mike Aruzioni.

The episode begins with host Ken welcoming listeners and discussing recent snowfall before transitioning to a monthly segment with the New Hampshire Department of Safety. Guests Mark Doyle, the 911 Director, and Patrick Cavanaugh, the Public Information Officer, join to talk about the 911 CARES program, an acronym for Citizens Assistance Registry for Emergency Service. They explain that the program has been upgraded to make it more user-friendly and accessible, allowing telecommunicators to see medical conditions like pacemakers or mobility issues when a call comes in. Approximately 1,000 people are currently registered, and the website is cares.desc.nh.gov. The conversation shifts to infrastructure, with details about a new 911 center under construction in Laconia, set to be operational within a year, and mentions the requirement for businesses to register automated external defibrillators. After a break, the episode features an interview with Eduardo, a trapeze artist from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, who discusses the circus's reimagined show, his background in gymnastics, and acts like the crisscross trapeze. The circus is performing in Manchester with multiple shows over the weekend. Later, the host reflects on the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team's gold medal win, noting it's the first on foreign ice since 1980, and shares personal anecdotes about connections to players like the Hughes brothers and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. He also mentions the team's tribute to Johnny Goodrow, a deceased teammate, and their invitation to the State of the Union address. The episode concludes with a preview of the next day's show.
