Speaker 1: Don't want to be an American idiot. All right, winding
Speaker 1: it down for twenty twenty five here on this Friday morning.
Speaker 1: I'm back for a couple of days next week. And
Speaker 1: maybe you're not so enjoy if maybe this was the
Speaker 1: last time you get to listen to the show for
Speaker 1: the week, a couple of weeks. Anyway, it's that time
Speaker 1: of the year. It's that time of the year. There's
Speaker 1: something that I've been involved with now for a few weeks.
Speaker 1: I think it's I love tech. I love fascinating things.
Speaker 1: I love things that change people's lives for the better.
Speaker 1: Because God knows we need more of those stories and
Speaker 1: not fewer. And I love to highlight those kinds of things.
Speaker 1: And so you may he may have heard me talking
Speaker 1: about the tech r m D one for those who
Speaker 1: have a mobility disability. So if you're in a wheelchair,
Speaker 1: maybe you have trouble standing or walking, you know, typically
Speaker 1: one is you look at it and go, my God,
Speaker 1: the rest of my life I'm being a wheelchair or
Speaker 1: I need a wheelchair to get around or move from
Speaker 1: point A to point B. For a lot of people,
Speaker 1: the older we are, the longer we live. That's true,
Speaker 1: but it's also true for people who suffer spinal injuries
Speaker 1: and the like. Veterans come to mind, and for a
Speaker 1: long time it's been you know, you get in a chair.
Speaker 1: You see people parking at a grocery store and whoever,
Speaker 1: in a handicapped spot and they have the van or
Speaker 1: a vehicle and they've got to get the card off
Speaker 1: the back and then get in it. And everything of
Speaker 1: course is you know, not at eye level, and you
Speaker 1: go to a grocery store on one of those scooters
Speaker 1: and it's tough to get stuff off the top shelf.
Speaker 1: This thing is going to change so many lives. And
Speaker 1: that's why I'm so happy to speak for my buddy,
Speaker 1: Dave Bakrath for at Rebound Mobility dot com. Dave, welcome
Speaker 1: and study this morning. How are you hey, Thanks Scott,
Speaker 1: and Merry Christmas to you. I appreciate you having met. Yes,
Speaker 1: I wanted to because I wanted to highlight this a
Speaker 1: little more simply because it's such a game changer. This
Speaker 1: is such an incredible development, I think for people with disabilities,
Speaker 1: our veterans come to mind, but anyone for that man,
Speaker 1: as we get older, you know, it's tough for my
Speaker 1: my father in law has difficulty getting up and getting
Speaker 1: down and this could absolutely change so many lives. Describe,
Speaker 1: Describe how it works, what the device.
Speaker 2: Is, Yeah, exactly, it's just so. I've been a medical
Speaker 2: devices mobility devices for thirty years and this is the
Speaker 2: most revolutionary, game changing in reward ding product that I've
Speaker 2: ever represented because it literally changes people's lives. And I
Speaker 2: see it firsthand in their in their eyes and their
Speaker 2: family members tears when they're able to stand up the
Speaker 2: way it works, and and and also no nobody knows
Speaker 2: about this device. It really was launched in effect this year.
Speaker 2: It's been on the market before that, but very very quietly.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: It is a it is not a power chair. It
Speaker 2: actually so it's a robotic mobility device that you do
Speaker 2: not need your legs strength at all, any muscles or
Speaker 2: even legs at all.
Speaker 1: I have a w MPT in a single mputee getting
Speaker 1: one and I listen them up to eye level like
Speaker 1: you see up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you sit in uh in the seat which is
Speaker 2: like a sling and it's almost.
Speaker 1: Like a window washers rig. It's a it's a well
Speaker 1: strong added very uh plus.
Speaker 2: Very much a sortative right swing and it has a
Speaker 2: very powerful hydraulic lift. So this seat, these two pins
Speaker 2: drop in it, and then you're able to lift yourself
Speaker 2: up in be and be supportive uh in the seat itself.
Speaker 2: And then you get all the way up to eye
Speaker 2: level or whatever level you're comfortable at, and if you
Speaker 2: want to bear weight, you can bear weight to help
Speaker 2: with your bone density, and you're able to be at
Speaker 2: eye level again. And I've seen people stand for the
Speaker 2: first time in decades and and it's amazing. There's there's
Speaker 2: a lot of misnomers about it that people just think, like, well,
Speaker 2: but but I have I have fall of risk issues.
Speaker 2: You can't fall in this. You're you're up two fifty pounds,
Speaker 2: it's solid you. I've tried to tip it over myself
Speaker 2: and you can't. So people that that's one thing that
Speaker 2: people don't know about. They also don't know that it
Speaker 2: can be covered by insurance. It's on track with Blue Cross,
Speaker 2: Blue Shield, and we can get it covered with most providers.
Speaker 2: And it's kind of a critical time this year because
Speaker 2: we have eleven days left if deductibles are met for
Speaker 2: the pripe for the private insurances. But it's an amazing
Speaker 2: device that lets you move about your home, reach work
Speaker 2: around in your kitchen. And the physiological benefits are you know,
Speaker 2: truly the reason if people are sitting, you know that
Speaker 2: you're going to have your circulation regulated, improved bowel and
Speaker 2: bladder function and all those benefits. But the biggest one
Speaker 2: is the mental health, the psychological part of being able
Speaker 2: to be upright again and look and have people eye
Speaker 2: to eye conversations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the thing. It's good. So this this pad
Speaker 1: slips under you and it's really easy to get in
Speaker 1: a nod of So you're sitting, Let's say you're in
Speaker 1: a chair. You can't move, you use your legs, So
Speaker 1: the pad you slide it under your butt sort of
Speaker 1: and the and it's soft, and then you press the
Speaker 1: button and it actually picks you up from your bottom
Speaker 1: and stands you up. And then the front of your
Speaker 1: shins would stand against these pads on the device. So
Speaker 1: it looks like a smaller, a narrower version of one
Speaker 1: of the carts you'd get a grocery store, bat, rapid card,
Speaker 1: imgo car to whatever those are. Only this thing lifts
Speaker 1: you up and stands and then if you need to
Speaker 1: sit back down, you press a button and it sits
Speaker 1: you down, you take the pad off, and which means
Speaker 1: you can you know, because it's narrow, and that's a problem.
Speaker 1: Some of the wider chairs are difficult to get in an
Speaker 1: odd but you can actually use the bathroom yourself if
Speaker 1: you're in a chair or you know, I said mentioned
Speaker 1: go to the grocery store and actually stand up at
Speaker 1: eye level and pick things off the shelf yourself, Like
Speaker 1: it's so incredible.
Speaker 2: The independence for bathroom functions to me is just it's
Speaker 2: huge because it's the narrowest profile you can get, like
Speaker 2: nineteen inches wide and you and it spins around sixty
Speaker 2: So even in a small bathroom, you're able to manage
Speaker 2: and drop yourself down and then move that seat and
Speaker 2: then get yourself back up independently versus having a caregiver
Speaker 2: family member help.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because in the past, you know, you'd have to
Speaker 1: the restrooms and narrow doors, right and an Ada compliances
Speaker 1: thirty six inches. Well, you know there's thirty inch doors
Speaker 1: out there. This thing fits though easily. You can get
Speaker 1: in a stall and take care of yourself, right, give
Speaker 1: you good, And that's that's the mental health advantage. You
Speaker 1: don't need to depend on someone else. Especially for veterans
Speaker 1: that are used to, you know, doing things themselves and
Speaker 1: being on their own and being independent.
Speaker 2: Right, It's yeah, you can be and you can do
Speaker 2: that independently, and it is covered by the VA, and
Speaker 2: the veterans won't know don't know that, the veteran providers
Speaker 2: don't know that. So it's incumbent upon the person finding
Speaker 2: this out. And that's where, you know, I walk them
Speaker 2: through all the processes. And that's the biggest thing, is like,
Speaker 2: don't try to figure it out yourself. You've got to
Speaker 2: use me to get you through the proper processes, whether
Speaker 2: it's through the VA, d O D it's covered you know,
Speaker 2: trike Care, Triy Care for Life and and also just
Speaker 2: individuals with their own insurance and and even seniors. I've
Speaker 2: had an eighty two year old veteran and he he
Speaker 2: got in it and learned it, no problem, was driving
Speaker 2: around in it, and he's like, I want this because
Speaker 2: I can't take outside walks with my family and I
Speaker 2: want to keep you know, I have to stay back,
Speaker 2: and so I want to be able to go on
Speaker 2: a bike path or walking and walking does.
Speaker 1: That work with taking that outside because markin most of
Speaker 1: those chairs you know you look at it, go, well,
Speaker 1: that's for pavement only. You can't go into grass or
Speaker 1: I mean a beach or something like that.
Speaker 2: Right, And that's that's where the outdoor kit comes in.
Speaker 2: So we have an outdoor kit which is like big
Speaker 2: knobby tires, and it switches out from the indoor kit
Speaker 2: fairly easily. You can do it. Even the person in
Speaker 2: the chair can do it within five minutes.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And you have these extra large tires and an extra
Speaker 2: large tail that you just just with a drop ten
Speaker 2: you take that in and out and boom. You can
Speaker 2: go on you know gravel, your grass, a b you know,
Speaker 2: get to a like a you know c S a
Speaker 2: key where it's hard packed beach and you can get
Speaker 2: to that and be able to and you can travel
Speaker 2: with this because it's it's a dry cell battery. So
Speaker 2: it goes on planes just like your regular mobility equipment.
Speaker 2: No extra charge for luggage or anything. They just the
Speaker 2: cart stores in the cargo hold and you can take
Speaker 2: it down to CS the key and and wheel around
Speaker 2: on the beach with your family with it.
Speaker 1: That's wild, that's it. I mean, I imagine that in
Speaker 1: the first time in years, people are in a wheelchair
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, like you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: beach person, I'm a surf and you can actually go
Speaker 1: and dip your your your hands, your legs into the water.
Speaker 1: It's that's incredible. You couldn't do that before. Dave Barcreth
Speaker 1: is here. It's Rebound Mobility dot Com. I've been talking
Speaker 1: about this one of our partners here on the Scott
Speaker 1: Sloan Show about how and I often do this because
Speaker 1: I think there's such a special innovative thing. It's going
Speaker 1: to change so many lives. I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be one of those you have a sense and not
Speaker 1: just because you're in a day that it's it's gonna
Speaker 1: be one of the things that in years people go wow.
Speaker 1: You know remember wheelchairs and the way you kind of
Speaker 1: like iron lungs back in the day with Polly. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't have those machines anymore. Now you have these
Speaker 1: devices where you can stand literally stand up and be
Speaker 1: mobile like you did when your your legs your appendages worked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see where we're gonna be. You could be
Speaker 2: seeing these around quite often right now. You know, you
Speaker 2: don't see them out where Pty New is brand new
Speaker 2: and again, nobody knows about it. We do have a
Speaker 2: veterans site for our veterans dot org for a veterans
Speaker 2: dot org if the veterans, but they can also use
Speaker 2: the Rebound Mobility dot com site and that that allows
Speaker 2: you to see information and then and my contact information
Speaker 2: is on there nine three seven seven seven six, seventy
Speaker 2: eight oh weill seventy eight oh one for a direct
Speaker 2: contact and that's you know, twenty four to seven. You
Speaker 2: can text or call that number for more information.
Speaker 1: And how long does it take to get one of
Speaker 1: these units if you ordered one?
Speaker 2: It takes if if you're ordering and going through the
Speaker 2: insurance process and even all the veterans processes can take
Speaker 2: thirty to sixty days. But some people who can do
Speaker 2: a self pay, and they can, they can pay for
Speaker 2: it and then work through their insurance and get that
Speaker 2: money back to their insurance so they don't have to wait,
Speaker 2: so they can have it within two weeks if they're
Speaker 2: going to just they want to put it on an amex,
Speaker 2: get their points whatever right and then then they can
Speaker 2: have the receipt and then they work through and help us.
Speaker 2: So we have an insurance team they will help us
Speaker 2: battle to get that insurance coverage, which most of the
Speaker 2: time they do. It's a pretty high rate of success,
Speaker 2: especially when the patient gets involved and so they get
Speaker 2: that check reimburse and then and a lot of people
Speaker 2: do that, they put it on a credit card. The company,
Speaker 2: Mattiam Mobility also has a couple of financing options.
Speaker 1: Is there a are they made where they made? Where manufacturing?
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City? Oh wow, so they made the US.
Speaker 1: They're made in the US, so you can get them
Speaker 1: here in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they're they're all and they're customized, so we
Speaker 2: you are not there. They're custom built for that person's size.
Speaker 2: So there's measurements that I take or make sure they're
Speaker 2: taken by a provider like a pt O T and
Speaker 2: so it fits and it hits you in the right
Speaker 2: part of your body anywhere, right anywhere from a four
Speaker 2: foot seven person. I have eleven year old muscular disc
Speaker 2: free kid getting his delivering it to him on Christmas Eve,
Speaker 2: So it's going to be a Christmas present. Yeah, eleven
Speaker 2: year old mustard disc fee. He can't wait and he
Speaker 2: tools around on it like like he's had it forever.
Speaker 1: When I did, oh, I demoed one and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, within a couple of minutes you kind of
Speaker 1: get used to the controls and it's it's really cool
Speaker 1: and it's really like the battery in this thing last
Speaker 1: how long a full day? Nine miles that's a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can go you can go cruise around
Speaker 2: on a full charge, you know, on a bike path
Speaker 2: or outside or on a beach for quite a while.
Speaker 2: So the charge and it only takes about two three
Speaker 2: hours to get up to a full charge. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it is again just so rewarding to see. I haven't
Speaker 2: I haven't actually done an in person demo with someone
Speaker 2: who didn't get the unit or didn't start to process
Speaker 2: the unit. And so that's something that I offer too,
Speaker 2: because you're looking if it's something you could just buy online,
Speaker 2: we'd put on Amazon and order.
Speaker 1: Because it has to be custom and customers insurance and
Speaker 1: everything else too. Yeah. I mean, if if you know
Speaker 1: someone neighbor, friend, family or co or whoever, it is
Speaker 1: a good benefit from this that so I wanted to
Speaker 1: have you on get the word out because I really
Speaker 1: think this is this, this is one of those devices.
Speaker 1: Once in a while something comes along that absolutely changes
Speaker 1: people's lives for the better, and in the age were
Speaker 1: living longer. Maybe not better, but longer. It's incumbent to
Speaker 1: get the word out. I think for stuff like this,
Speaker 1: going hey, this is going to improve your mental health,
Speaker 1: which is a huge component. But physically you mentioned bone density, bowels,
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I mean, imagine you know, you have
Speaker 1: your house. Let's say you're in a chair, and everything's
Speaker 1: built for people who stand up. You know, cupboards, cabinets, refrigerators,
Speaker 1: and you live with so much in life because you're seated,
Speaker 1: and now you don't have to change all that. You
Speaker 1: can actually stand up in your house and get things
Speaker 1: off the top shelf like you used to, and the
Speaker 1: machine does it all and you're able to navigate your
Speaker 1: hallways and stay in your own house. I mean in
Speaker 1: the past people have to move to assisted living or
Speaker 1: something like that. This keeps people in their houses longer,
Speaker 1: whether it's veterans or people with disabilities, but also seniors too.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see more people who their
Speaker 1: legs work. But you know, I mean the older we get,
Speaker 1: the longer we live, it's going to be harder to
Speaker 1: get around.
Speaker 2: This is for them, right, and the seniors now are
Speaker 2: just more active seniors, you know, wanting to be outside,
Speaker 2: wanting to be independent, and and this you know, will
Speaker 2: allow them to you know, stay that way and you know,
Speaker 2: take the outside, get to the fresh air, take a walk.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I you can avoid the home rebuilds on that. But
Speaker 2: I even have someone getting one that had the home
Speaker 2: rebuild done, but he's getting it for the outdoors part
Speaker 2: of it the package. So he saw that there's enough
Speaker 2: benefit in that. So it's gonna be you know, there's
Speaker 2: gonna be something for everybody that maybe if they've they've
Speaker 2: lost mobility, maybe they can walk a little bit, but
Speaker 2: they just can't go very far.
Speaker 1: It's going to help them with that.
Speaker 2: And we're also partnered with uh Tie Bradshaw with the
Speaker 2: knuxts All Foundation where we're doing for people who here
Speaker 2: and refer a patient. It doesn't have to be for yourself,
Speaker 2: but a referral a two thousand dollars donation to the
Speaker 2: knuxts All Foundation because they're dealing with disabilities and they're
Speaker 2: trying to build that indoor center, right so.
Speaker 1: Help up the community with that. That's amazing. So yeah,
Speaker 1: portion proceeds go there as well, and I know that
Speaker 1: you know, we've we hit the veterans thing too, and
Speaker 1: I want to say that, you know, as we get
Speaker 1: the word out about this, this game changer. Steve Bolso
Speaker 1: is my buddy. He comes in once a month from
Speaker 1: Claremont County for veterans services, and I was talking to him.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, I showed, I showed him a video
Speaker 1: and you know, showed and he was he was the
Speaker 1: top excited to spread the word to veterans. He because
Speaker 1: I know a handful of people already that would jump
Speaker 1: at the chance for something like this. So you know,
Speaker 1: you get the word out there, especially to our veterans
Speaker 1: and the VA, and you know the v AL take
Speaker 1: careful pay for it. Uh that that's gonna be great
Speaker 1: for veterans and and anyone else listening for that matter.
Speaker 1: So again, the website is rebound Mobility dot com. Rebound
Speaker 1: mobility dot com. Dave Bachrath and uh Matt mcool is
Speaker 1: are a Cincinnati Repisent's student. This morning. Uh doesn't speak
Speaker 1: at all. He's uh, which is really unusual for somebody
Speaker 1: in sales, but nonetheless, uh uh it really is called.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to be working with your partner with
Speaker 1: just to spread the word about this and it really
Speaker 1: is going to change somebody live share in the tri
Speaker 1: State and the rest of the country, and this could
Speaker 1: be one of those products that are you know, featured
Speaker 1: in the future. Is a turning point when it comes
Speaker 1: to helping people bowl with disabilities navigate life. They appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thanks again for coming in.
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: All right, all those against Rebound Mobility dot Com is
Speaker 1: the website if you want to check that out. And
Speaker 1: maybe not someone in your family, but we all know
Speaker 1: someone who may have a friend, a family member, a neighbor,
Speaker 1: the son of a coworker, the daughter of a someone
Speaker 1: who went to school with and go, man, I wonder
Speaker 1: if they know about this and maybe share that link
Speaker 1: with them at rebound Mobility dot Com. Anyway, I got
Speaker 1: to get a time out in News on the Way
Speaker 1: In just minutes, Austin jumps in. We talk about the
Speaker 1: Bengals in Miami, a fruitless effort. What the hell are
Speaker 1: they playing for? Well, it's sunny weather, so at least
Speaker 1: you get to go and enjoy that as well. Who
Speaker 1: should have remain on the Bengals for twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: is the question. Maybe they'll be somewhat answered in Sunday's game.
Speaker 1: Talk to Austin about that and more coming up next
Speaker 1: on seven hundred wowt
