Transcript You're listening to Demand and Disrupt, the podcast for information about accessibility, advocacy, and all things disability. Welcome to Demand and Disrupt, a disability podcast. I'm your host, Kimberly Parsley. And I'm your host, Sam Moore sitting here. I've got a hot cup of black coffee to my direct left. And you've got a a cup of black tea. I know, Kimberly, but you're not real. You're not super happy about it being black tea, are you? I am not, I cannot find. I like tea with cream in it and I cannot find the cream in the refrigerator. And so now it actually, Michael hates tea and he calls it, uh, there's an episode of Ted lasso where they refer to tea as tree juice, as a tree juice. Yep. And, uh, also pigeon sweat. They call it that. So I can maybe go with the tree juice. So for any of y'all, if any of y'all have some cream that you don't need, you know where to send it. Oh, the thing is it's in that refrigerator somewhere, Sam. It's just, I can't find it. And it's cold in there looking around for cream. I just, I know it's in there. I just can't find it. Don't you have to, while your hands get cold and you just need to warm up. It's, it's just, it's just a blind problem. You know, it's, uh, I've been there, done that today on the show. I have Amanda Mobley. She is the director of the center for accessible living. And she is going to tell us all about the upcoming, the second annual advocacy summit sponsored by Cal, and it is going to be in Louisville on October 16th and 17th, and I am going, and I am super excited. Uh, I'm going to go, I'm going to go. I'm going to go learn how to advocate and do it better and be awesome at it. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to learn. You know what? I may take my, uh, my recorder and you never know what's going to happen. I may interview some people for the show. You just never do know. It's good to go. And then we can play highlights here on the, on demand and disrupt. We just might. So y'all all should, uh, all should, should go to that. So I'm gonna talk to her about that. And you know, I don't, I don't go to Louisville much, Sam. I, here in Bowling Green, we're closer to Nashville. I don't go to Louisville much at all, except for work stuff. And you know, I think I know why. You think you know why? I think I do. When I was young and they found the disease that I have, which of course started in my retina, they sent me to Louisville. So he was like all the time, every two, three months, every Easter break, every Christmas break, summer vacation. I was always going to Louisville for surgery. And I think when I became an adult, I just decided I was done with Louisville. You were, you were burned out on it. I just was. It had, it had some bad, bad experiences there, but I think I haven't been fair. Do you, so I'm excited to go back to Louisville. Tell me, do you know much about Louisville? You know, I actually, I would like to think that I do Louisville, Louisville has really grown on me over the years. In fact, if I, you know, if I had to move outside of my current locale of Henderson, you know, my, a lot of times I'll say it would almost be a, a three-way tie among my top choices, Louisville, Lexington and Bowling Green, because I, I have a, a soft spot in my heart for all of those places, Bowling Green, because I went to college there, Lexington, because mom and dad went to college there and we made quite a few trips there growing up and then Louisville, because I have quite a few second, third, fourth cousins there. My, my ocularist who used to polish my prosthesis used to be in Louisville. So we had to go there twice a year to see him. And of course, you know, I did the short courses at Kentucky School for the Blind there a few times a year when I was in school. And so, so yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a great place. Of course I could plug restaurants there all day long, but then people would be like, Sam, do you do anything else but eat? You know what, there are people who make their whole online presence about restaurants. Everybody loves to talk about food. It's ...
