00:00Hi, everybody. I want to thank you all for being here, whether you're in person or watching through Facebook.
00:09So I'm Andy Summers from 92.5 XTU, and we were all so deeply affected by the deaths of troopers Brandon Siska and Martin Mack,
00:18as well as the pedestrian that they were helping along I-95 back in March.
00:23It wasn't long after that accident that Raz was talking to Kip Moore, and the subject came up,
00:30because honestly, at that time, that was all any of us could talk about.
00:35And immediately, Kip said, we've got to do something for the families.
00:40And so here we are to celebrate the lives, the service, and the ultimate sacrifice of troopers Brandon Siska and Martin Mack.
00:49So I want to thank Kip Moore for being so generous with his time to take a detour from his tour to be with us in person today.
00:57And we are surrounded by family members of Trooper Siska and Trooper Mack.
01:02First of all, we have Stephanie Mack with us, and also Captain McShay,
01:07as well as several other brothers and sisters from the Pennsylvania State Police.
01:12Thank you all so much for being here.
01:13And thank you for allowing us to get some insight that you can provide.
01:20We have a unique opportunity to understand this incident from a completely different perspective today,
01:27and we thank you for that.
01:29We also want to thank all of you for watching at home or at work or wherever you are,
01:33because this is one of the best things about our community, is that we are country strong.
01:39And with your help, we are going to be raising money today to help those families who lost their fathers and their husbands way too soon.
01:50So let's get started.
01:51If you're watching at home, just remember there is a link that you can click so that you can make a donation,
01:56and all the money is going to benefit the families, the Mack and Siska families today.
02:02So let me start with you, Captain.
02:06When we think about that night of the accident, there were so many if-onlys, right?
02:12If only Mr. Oliveris had a ride home from the airport that day.
02:17If only that driver had stopped drinking or had taken another route after she had been pulled over.
02:23Tell us what it is from your perspective, from your side of things.
02:28Take us through that night.
02:29Well, for everyone here and, like, all the state police, it's just devastating.
02:33I mean, honestly, you do see how a series of events had to come together for this to happen the way it did.
02:38I mean, there were so many different, like you said, what ifs, but even beyond that,
02:42just circumstances that had to fall into place for this to happen and, you know, the tragedy to occur.
02:49It was devastating.
02:50And, you know, as you went through the investigation, because, you know, I mean, obviously we have the personal aspect with the families
02:55and getting through that, but, you know, we have to do an investigation and go through all the details.
02:59And you put those pieces together and just saw how it came together and the way it happened, it just blows your mind.
03:08Yeah, it really does.
03:11Stephanie, I feel bad asking you questions, because I know I'm going to be weeping within a moment.
03:16And I applaud you for being so strong and being able to be here and give us your perspective on all of this.
03:22So talk to us.
03:24Talk to us about your husband.
03:25Talk to us about Marty.
03:27Okay.
03:28So Marty was, like, the kind and gentle giant.
03:33Opposites truly attract.
03:35He was silent, and my reputation beholds me.
03:39I am not.
03:41I met him at college.
03:44We were both in the Greek system, so he was SAE, I was Phi Mu.
03:49And senior year, it was just one of those things, and we started dating, and graduation hit, and, you know,
04:02usually when you graduate, you're like, eh, it's not going to last, like, smile and nod.
04:05But we were in it, and it was just one of those things, like, you kind of just knew right then and there that you met your person, like, literally your other half.
04:18So we got married in 2013, and then we got pregnant with our first, Olivia, in 2014, and that's when he went to the State Police Academy.
04:34He left in November.
04:35I delivered in December, like, right before Christmas.
04:38And he missed her birth by an hour and 12 minutes.
04:44Oh, no.
04:46That's fine.
04:47Whatever.
04:49Fast forward four years.
04:52He almost missed Rowan's birth because he was getting a mushroom thin crust pizza in the lobby.
04:58So there's that.
05:05I mean, he was soft-spoken.
05:10And hungry.
05:11And hungry.
05:13Mushroom thin crust pizza.
05:17I mean, he was the reason I actually ate.
05:19He knew how to cook, and I don't.
05:22So if it's not in a microwave or it's not in a fast food line, I don't eat.
05:28He was a good guy.
05:31I mean, he was very tolerant and patient.
05:36I'm impatient.
05:38I am tolerant.
05:40I have to be.
05:42But I'm slowly learning patience.
05:49But obviously, like, the person who can control me the best is gone.
05:55Rowan turned three on the 18th of March.
06:01He was killed three days later.
06:04The 20th, he tucked the girls both into bed.
06:08And he never came home.
06:14And that's pretty much it.
06:15So being the wife of a trooper, I guess it's something you think that you do.
06:32Can you prepare yourself for this?
06:34Is it something that's in the back of your mind?
06:36I don't know the right way to ask this, because I can't even imagine being in your shoes.
06:41So.
06:47Okay.
06:48Marty got hit by drunk drivers a lot.
06:50Let's start.
06:52Like, in 2014, we almost miscarried Olivia before he even went into the State Police Academy.
06:57It was Mother's Day.
06:58We got rear-ended by a drunk driver.
07:00First one.
07:042018, I was pregnant with Rowan.
07:07His gun belt took the hit.
07:10Drunk driver.
07:13Marty got hit in 2021.
07:20Not a drunk.
07:22Pursuit.
07:23But he still got injured.
07:24So that was November 11th.
07:26He went back March 16th.
07:28So just a timeline there.
07:34Every time he got hit, every time there was a trooper death, Landon Weaver was his first funeral.
07:43He had to go all the way out to support Macy.
07:47And we talked about everything.
07:51And who do you want carrying you?
07:55What readings do you want?
07:58Our church isn't big enough.
07:59Where do you want it?
08:03How much can I change?
08:05If people make me angry, who can I pull?
08:07We discussed how I needed to act.
08:17Whatever.
08:18Don't worry.
08:19I would think in a situation like that, there are no rules for how you act.
08:27But it's also, there's a lot of formalities.
08:29Correct.
08:30Right?
08:30Like that's, that's something else.
08:32So, I mean, I've gotten through the process of, of doing my will with my husband and that sort of thing.
08:37And it's, that is heartbreaking.
08:39And, and right.
08:40So you basically had to do all that and make all those arrangements.
08:43So in the event of.
08:45Yeah.
08:45When he got hit in November, I, I said, we really need to think about like what we're doing.
08:50Um, like, can we go look, like what cemetery do you want to be buried at?
08:54Steph, we're not going that far down the rabbit hole.
08:56Let it go.
08:57And I was like, okay, it's not a smart move.
08:59We just need to be in place.
09:02Um, I had to make the call, uh, on where he got buried.
09:07And even though it was a state of shock, my brain never turned off.
09:12Um, like my logic as to why he got buried where he did still stands.
09:20Um, it takes a lot to be a trooper wife.
09:26Um, and I know a lot of my friends will attest to it.
09:31Um, but the show has to move on and upholding a legacy and representing.
09:42Marty and Brittany representing Brandon's legacies are something that we have to do.
09:48And unfortunately it's so public.
09:50And, um, you know, the worst part is that, you know, my seven and a half year old and
09:56my three year old are in the limelight and that's a hard pill to swallow.
10:00Um, but it's just something we have to do.
10:04Yeah.
10:05So.
10:06Well, thank you for that.
10:07Um, Kip, talk to us about why it was so important.
10:13Why did you act so quickly to get involved in this?
10:18Well, for me, um, I get involved with a lot of things.
10:24Um, and I stay quiet about it.
10:27Um, I feel like that's the, that's the beautiful part of, you know, Raz knew that I've been
10:33touring for two straight weeks.
10:35And I got home yesterday at 12 and then flew here last night and I got to leave to go straight
10:41back onto him here.
10:42And, you know, I'm just kind of upside down all the times, but this is when it's like,
10:46um, you feel like what you're doing holds weight and it's, um, it's impactful.
10:52And I've always just felt like, um, I've been so blessed in my life.
10:56So, you know, I want to do as many things as I can to, um, shed light on things that
11:02I care about.
11:03You know, I learned a long time ago that I can't, um, I can't help everything.
11:09But when there's little things that, you know, in, in my pocket of the earth where I hear
11:15about things happen or whatever that I can get involved with, then that's when I like
11:19to take action.
11:20Um, and that's what I always encourage people that follow my page to do.
11:24Um, and so when Raz was telling me about what happened, um, man, what a, just one of
11:31the craziest stories.
11:32And I just, um, you know, the fact that they're trying to get this drunk driver off the road,
11:38they get a call to go help somebody else out that's in need and they lead to go do that
11:44and then get struck by the person that they told to go straight.
11:47I just, it just, uh, it struck me.
11:50Um, my brother's been in law enforcement for, I would say about 15 years and I know, um, what
11:59goes on behind the scenes.
12:00I know what you guys face, what you, what you deal with, the anxiety of it, all those things.
12:05And if we're just being honest, you know, um, I get really angry at what a thankless job
12:12it is all the time.
12:13So when Raz told me about it, um, I feel like this was my chance to, um, say thank you in
12:23a way that, you know, that, that I could, that I could, you know, somehow help and try to
12:29encourage other people that follow my page to, um, or they're even watching this now
12:36through the live stream to just, you know, we always love to tweet and we love to post
12:42about thoughts and prayers.
12:43But like, this is a time that you can actually do something instead of just talking all the
12:48time.
12:48I get tired of all the talking.
12:50Um, so my thing is, is that, and I know that a lot of people are strapped for money.
12:56This is a, you know, a time when a lot of people have lost jobs and this and that, but,
12:59you know, I just think about my pages alone and there's, you know, the millions combined
13:03if everybody just gives a dollar, gives two, gives five, give whatever you can.
13:08Um, you know, when all that's added up, it'll make a difference.
13:11It'll make a difference in their lives and their kids' lives.
13:13And it's a way to say thank you for the people that are watching our back every day in such
13:20a thankless way.
13:21So, yeah, um, that's why I'm here.
13:24And that's why I just wanted to let the people that I knew that, that followed my page, when
13:29there's things I care about, they know that I don't shuck and jive them.
13:32I don't try to get them to get involved with things that I'm not truly passionate about.
13:36And I think they know that.
13:37And, uh, yeah, so this is something I'm passionate about and this is something that I know
13:43how tough you guys' job is and I know how thankless it is, but, um, I appreciate the
13:49heck out of you guys.
13:50So, yeah, this is me being here doing whatever I can.
13:53Yeah.
13:54Thank you for that.
13:55And again, um, if you're watching from home or work or whatever, you can just click that
13:59link to make that donation.
14:00We've made it pretty simple for you.
14:02Um, and we thank you for your support.
14:04So this is, you know, kind of for all of us just to kind of discuss this accident, um,
14:11back in March happened at the tail end of a tumultuous couple of years with fighting
14:20between civilians and police officers.
14:24There had been so much in the news, um, with Black Lives Matter and you, you hear stories
14:31and you see videos and, and the trials and all of this.
14:35And it was one of those situations and, um, Kip, I think that you feel similarly to me,
14:41but I'm not going to put words in your mouth.
14:43Um, it was, it was a time of conflict for me because I would hear about things that had
14:47happened with George Floyd and I would get, be nauseated at the thought of it, but then
14:52afraid to say something because I didn't want to feel like I was trying to criticize police
14:58officers who I have been raised to, you know, appreciate and adore.
15:04Like my dad, um, was a Marine.
15:06And so anyone in uniform is someone that, you know, I was taught to respect and I do,
15:11but I, I think that there are, you know, the uniform, there are many different people
15:17that wear uniforms, right?
15:19And you can't always control decisions.
15:21We're humans, right?
15:22So sometimes I make a bad decision.
15:24Sometimes everyone, you know, everyone has that chance to make a bad decision, to do something
15:29wrong, to make a mistake.
15:31Um, so Kip, I know that you had spoken out about that on your social media a little bit,
15:36just kind of seeing you had a, an awesome video, um, where you had two little kids playing
15:43in a park.
15:44I did that years ago before there was, you know, before there was a movement I've been, you
15:50know, that's a whole nother topic, but yeah, I've been speaking out, you know,
15:54long before it was the trend, you know, of, you know, the hate in this world, disenfranchised
16:00communities and things like that.
16:02And I've, you know, but, you know, without going into all that, it's, I also understand
16:08what it takes, not personally, but through my brother, through a lot of close friends
16:15that do this for a job, the level of anxiety and what's behind the curtain and, um, how
16:23difficult it is to do this job day in and day out and what that takes.
16:27So I think with me really having a bird's eye view of that and, you know, I try to be someone
16:35of, um, I don't get swayed by people.
16:38I don't get swayed by what the crowd's doing.
16:41Um, I use my own judgment for a lot of things.
16:43And when it comes to this, this is just something I've always had, whether it's our military,
16:48whether it's our police force, uh, state troopers, sheriffs, um, I just know that this is not
16:54a, an easy job and there's a lot of pressure behind it.
16:58There's a lot of pressure situations and, you know, of course the light is going to be shown
17:04on law enforcement when things go wrong, but we don't shine the light enough when the thousands
17:10of things that go right and what they do day in and day out.
17:13And that's what makes me angry.
17:15Right.
17:16No, absolutely.
17:17So, um, Captain McShay, talk to us about, about you growing up.
17:22What, like, it has, has it always been a dream of yours to go into the forest?
17:27Has it, you know, like, and talk to us on behalf of, of everyone else that's here.
17:33Is it everything that you expected?
17:35Is it more?
17:36Is it less?
17:38So the dream was not to become a police officer.
17:41Actually, my father's a Philadelphia police officer.
17:42It was for 30 plus years.
17:44Um, as a kid, you see the, the overnight shifts, being away from the families, missing out on
17:49some things and it kind of sways you away from it.
17:51Um, but then as I got into college, it kind of became the calling and it was the way I decided
17:56to go.
17:57Um, my father was a big influence on me becoming a state trooper.
18:00I mean, I was obviously looking at other police departments and his big thing was, you know,
18:03try to get the state.
18:04Like, try to do something a little bit, a little bit different from what he did, do a different
18:08path.
18:08Um, but then as far as this job itself, I mean, I'll, I'll tell all these guys, I love
18:13my job.
18:13The state police has treated me better than, you know, I ever expected.
18:16It's given me more opportunity than I've ever expected.
18:19I mean, even with my current position and being able to work with these guys that are here
18:23today, I mean, I consider it a blessing.
18:24You know, um, no, it's just, it's a wonderful profession.
18:29And then when I speak on behalf of the guys here, I think we all do with the purpose of
18:32helping.
18:33I mean, I don't think anybody gets into this without the understanding that the majority
18:37of your job is to help people.
18:38You respond to calls, you respond to calls for service, you show up to people in distress.
18:42You know, it's not a go and, you know, do some paperwork.
18:45I mean, obviously we do a lot of paperwork, but I mean, at the heart of it, everything you
18:49do is responded to somebody else in distress and trying to help them out, whether it be an accident,
18:54um, you know, being the victim of a crime, your vehicle being disabled on the side of the road.
18:58I mean, the heart of the whole job is to help people.
19:01And I think everyone gets into that knowing that.
19:04So I think everyone has good intentions.
19:06Yeah, absolutely.
19:07Um, and, and we thank you all and applaud you all for the jobs that you're doing.
19:11I think that it speaks volumes just seeing you here today.
19:13So I thank you for all of that.
19:15Um, so Stephanie, from your perspective, I mean, you, I would imagine that Marty was a
19:21criminal justice major or something in school.
19:23So you knew going into it, but what is most surprising from your perspective?
19:28Um, as the wife.
19:30So we were both crim majors in college.
19:33Um, he did criminal justice, I did criminology.
19:36Um, he also did split with history, uh, so he didn't have to do all the hard classes that
19:41I took.
19:42He had you for that.
19:43No, he just didn't like taking them.
19:45There's a difference.
19:46He was smart.
19:47I was not.
19:48Um, so when we were graduating, he got our graduation date was May 21st, 2010, I think.
20:00So it's ironic that he graduated from the state police, uh, Academy May 22nd, um, 2015.
20:06So when we were graduating, he got the call from Maryland state police, like, Hey, you're
20:13invited to do your physical, um, come down and then we can go from there.
20:18He said, is there any way I can reschedule?
20:20Like I'm supposed to graduate like college that day.
20:23Like I would like to walk.
20:24They go, you have to make the decision, walk or come to the physical.
20:29He goes, I choose to walk at graduation.
20:31So Maryland state was off the plate.
20:34He didn't want it anyway.
20:35Um, no offense, sorry, let me preface that.
20:40Sorry.
20:41No offense.
20:42Um, he really wanted PA, um, and there's the waiting list at the time, a long waiting
20:50list.
20:51Um, so he was patient, um, as you can be.
20:56And then when we find out we were pregnant with Olivia, that was the 15th of April, he
21:03got invited to do his physical on the 19th of April, that same week.
21:08So once he passed his physical, I was like, well, I'm having a baby without you.
21:13And then we went to the background check and he was fine.
21:16Um, obviously nothing was wrong.
21:18Um, it was just a physical, um, going crim based.
21:24Um, you kind of just know what's in the path.
21:28Um, but when he got the call to essentially start and we kind of knew like we were together
21:36for it forever, I just stayed back.
21:39I didn't do anything, um, crim based.
21:42Um, it was fine because essentially one of us had to be the parent at home and hold down
21:49the fort.
21:49But the fort came and I was the ringleader.
21:54What was your plan?
21:56I slept through my FBI interview.
22:00Okay.
22:01That was the plan.
22:01I was supposed to take the interview.
22:03It was finals.
22:05I slept through it.
22:06Everything happens for a reason.
22:08Apparently.
22:09Apparently.
22:11So, uh, woohoo.
22:12So the fort came, I became the ringleader.
22:18I call it riot season COVID hit and I was going nuts with two kids at home cause they
22:26couldn't do anything.
22:28Um, Marty went to work, came home and I was like, I don't know where you're taking your
22:34clothes off, but just don't bring them in the house.
22:35So I'll just do something.
22:38Um, it was weird, but I mean, like, I remember there was one conversation and he was on top
22:48of Belmont, um, guarding the house is what he called it.
22:53And he goes, I think I'm going to enlist in the army.
22:55I was like, okay.
22:59I was like, midlife crisis.
23:03He goes, no, I'm just, I feel like I need to do more.
23:05I was like, aren't you doing enough right now?
23:08Like you're on top of Belmont, put your phone away.
23:12So that was a whirlwind.
23:14That was four months he went from, I think I'm going to do it to shipping out to Fort
23:20Sill that September.
23:22And then he graduated and, um, that was December.
23:26He came home and then he started OCS that January.
23:30What is OCS?
23:30Officer candidate school.
23:31And, um, he was supposed to commission next.
23:36What does that mean?
23:36Commission, become an officer of the army.
23:39Sorry.
23:39I don't know all your words.
23:40Sorry.
23:40I was not a crim major, barely a communications major.
23:45So, um, he was supposed to commission with the army in August.
23:49So obviously he's not.
23:51Um, but here we are.
23:54Yeah.
23:55Um, how are your girls?
23:56And, and you know what?
23:59I can't, I don't want to overlook Brittany.
24:00So before we get to your girls, um, talk to us about Brittany Siska.
24:07She's doing well.
24:08She's doing well.
24:08She's about to have a baby.
24:10Expecting their first child here in the coming weeks.
24:12So, I mean, a very pregnant woman who's, um, putting a lot of time in.
24:16We had a prelim last week.
24:18She made it down for that, you know, um, had some milestones and some difficult firsts
24:23come up in the last couple of weeks.
24:24Um, but she's, she's getting through that.
24:26You know, she's definitely, she's a strong woman with a strong family and a strong support
24:30system.
24:31Yeah.
24:31Um, and she's persevering, but, uh, I think, uh, very, uh, ready to have that child.
24:36So she's, she's definitely ready to move on.
24:39It's tough in the summer.
24:40Very much so.
24:41Yeah.
24:42Good.
24:43Um, so tell me about your girls.
24:47So, uh, Liv is going into second grade.
24:50Um, Rowan is going to preschool in the fall, hopefully.
24:53Um, but just like Marty and I, they're polar opposites.
25:00Um, Rowan is outspoken.
25:02I'm so sorry for the world.
25:04So there don't need to be two of me.
25:07Um, and then Liv is incredibly smart.
25:13Like she's like Marty, she's reserved.
25:16Um, she can itemize her feelings and like put them away when she needs to.
25:23Um, they're doing as best as they can.
25:26Uh, just like all of us, Brittany included and trying to keep them out of the limelight.
25:32Um, just like I think Brittany's going to do with Brynn, um, you know, just try to let
25:38them have as normal of a life as possible, whatever this normal is, um, if there will
25:45ever be a normal.
25:46Uh, so the adjustment period is still taking time to hit, uh, but they got a busier schedule
25:56than I do.
25:57Liv starts camp soon.
25:58They do dance soon.
26:00And I'm just going to be literally a taxi.
26:04I'm thinking and maybe hoping that they're young enough that this isn't something that's
26:08brought up to them often or is it?
26:12So I had to get my car painted, uh, because Olivia knew the color of the car that struck
26:18Marty.
26:19Um, she wouldn't get in my car for a while until I told her I was getting it painted or
26:23until I told her that there was time to get it painted.
26:26Um, like I said, for a seven and a half year old, she's really bright.
26:30Um, there are, uh, my three-year-old is a little too blunt, um, and the, some of the
26:40guys can tell you, um, she will tell you to your face, don't die.
26:45My daddy died, um, in that uniform.
26:49So, and that's a three-year-old.
26:52So unfortunately, um, my three-year-old has taken it the hardest.
26:58Uh, Marty used to come home and sleep with her in the morning because she would co-sleep.
27:03Uh, don't mom shame me.
27:05Just don't.
27:07Um, but like she would cuddle with him all the time and, uh, her cuddle buddy's gone.
27:14So she gets angry that I have to wake her up to get her wherever she needs to go.
27:17Um, Liv wants to be tucked in.
27:22Marty used to always do it.
27:24She now doesn't have anyone to say to be safe to at work.
27:30Um, that was something she always said at nine o'clock.
27:33Be safe, daddy.
27:34Come home.
27:35I love you.
27:36She doesn't have that to say anymore.
27:38She's like, what do I do?
27:39Uh, just say it in general.
27:43Just full-blown encompass.
27:44Um, she's worried about the squad.
27:49She's worried about the guys who were there, who were pupils.
27:53Um, I don't know.
27:57It's strange.
27:58All of it.
27:59Like I said, we're just waiting for a new norm.
28:02If it ever hits.
28:03Yeah.
28:03I guess it's just more getting used to what is so that it becomes normal rather than the
28:14situation changing any more than it already has.
28:17Um, so, so that's what, that's what this money is going for, your donations today.
28:25And, uh, we want to thank you so much for that.
28:28Um, so is there anything else before I start really boo-hooing here?
28:36Is there anything else?
28:37Do you guys have anything that you want to say or share or?
28:42I just hope everyone recognizes the strength of Brittany and Stephanie.
28:46Um, you know, they were thrown into a tragic event.
28:51You know, they lost loved ones way too soon.
28:54And not only do that, they do that with 15, 20 troopers showing up to your house.
28:58Every day and being a part of things and, you know, things you've never thought you'd
29:02have to think about now you do, um, and they've handled it well.
29:06I mean, they've handled it great and it should be commended.
29:08I mean, you know, I, I'd say they both handle it differently.
29:11Um, they both have a different tack, but I mean, without a doubt, you see that they
29:16want the best interest of their husbands and their, their legacy out there and to make
29:20sure their children know that, you know, even being here today, it's, it's, it's letting
29:25the legacy be there and maybe not, I understand there's financial reasons behind this, but
29:29it's also awareness of what occurred and the, like the devastation that comes of it.
29:33I mean, we may not directly say it, but you know, the fact she's sitting up here and talking
29:37about this and you hear the pain and the loss, like maybe that brings some awareness to people
29:41and they, they can think before they act and maybe see the big picture of what could happen.
29:46I mean, it's, you know, it's, it's terrible.
29:48It's a tragedy, you know, two guys did everything right that night, acted self, selflessly in
29:54every way and you know, they didn't get to go home.
29:57And these are, these are both guys who, who weren't just troopers as if you could ever say
30:02that anyway, because I know, I can't even imagine what you all go through, um, to get to where
30:08you are, but, um, you know, even, um, Brandon was, he was a fire chief.
30:15I mean, these were men dedicated to service.
30:18It was never enough for them.
30:20I mean, as Stephanie just told us, it just, it was never enough.
30:24You just keep giving and giving and giving until you pay the ultimate sacrifice.
30:28Um, and so I, we do, we, we applaud you for being here and we thank you so much.
30:35And, um, maybe we can end on something a little lighter, Kip.
30:39Do you think, could you play a little something for us before we go?
30:42No problem.
30:43That'd be great.
30:47While he's getting that, let's give it up.
30:59All right.
31:00I honestly didn't even know that I was going to play today.
31:05I, you know, for me, it was, um, I travel around with a little travel guitar and I don't
31:17know, I, I guess I just, you know, I don't want any of this to be about me.
31:20Um, but you were really instrumental in, in, in getting this put together.
31:26And this is also streaming on Kip's site.
31:28If you're watching on XTUs and if you're vice versa.
31:32So we're all kind of streaming it.
31:34So it's not about you, but it's, we appreciate you for being here.
31:38And this is how we appreciate you by asking you to play for us.
31:42Um, yeah, I just, I just hope that, um, people that, uh, have been watching this, um, like
31:51I said, you know, we do a lot of talking in our society these days.
31:57We love to talk and, um, you know, talking just wears me out.
32:03Um, I'm about, um, I'm about action and, um, I just, uh, I appreciate what you guys do
32:12so much.
32:14And I say that with no, uh, all the genuine feelings I can have to say that, um, cause I
32:25know what goes into it.
32:26And it's kind of like these two guys that lost their life, like they were doing two things
32:30that were to protect people and what could happen to someone else bystanders.
32:36And that's what y'all do every day.
32:39And then that never gets talked about.
32:42So I get really frustrated about that.
32:46So, yeah, I appreciate y'all.
32:49And if you're watching this, a dollar, two dollars, $20, $5, whatever you can, just something
32:53because it'll add up and it'll make a difference.
33:00Baby, love's just one of those words, just gets thrown around like a Jack and Cole sitting
33:17on a bar.
33:18Baby, it gets watered down.
33:20If you were my last shot.
33:24I ain't gonna lie.
33:27If you wanna know the truth, I will feel about you tonight.
33:33If you were my last breath, I just wanna hold you.
33:41My last night, I held on wheels and wanted to drive you like I stole you.
33:45If you were my last shot
33:49Last shot of whiskey
33:52Press you to my lips
33:55Take a little sip
33:56Swirl you round and round and round
33:59And then it shoots you down
34:01So baby let me look at you
34:17And see just what I got
34:19If you were my cherished man
34:24I'd tie you in a knot
34:26If I could inhale you
34:29Baby I'd be gone
34:32I'd be floating round high
34:35As the Colorado sky
34:36Flows more greens all night long
34:39If you were my last breath
34:41I just want to hold you
34:45Last night I held on wheels

35:17If you were my last breath
35:18I just want to hold you
35:21Last night I held on wheels
35:26Want to drive you like I stole you
35:28And if you were my last shot
