Tues Post Show: Lunchbox Makes An Empty Promise, DIY Dental Work And Trapped In An Elevator (12-17-24)

We started talking about where we rank our fear of getting trapped in an elevator. We talked to Caller Shannon who wanted to talk about the woman who was busted doing illegal dental work and how her husband performed the procedure on himself. Lunchbox offers to do something for a listener, but we have to promise not to help him in the task. Lunchbox also thanks Scuba Steve for something he did for him recently. We try to figure out how a woman snuck onto a plane.  We then get into a big discussion on which of us consider ourselves to be lucky or unlucky.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time for the Bobby Bones post show.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Here's your host, Bobby Bones.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Amy on your fear meter. Being stuck in an elevator
for four or five hours? Where does that fall?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Pretty low? Like, I don't know ever think it's going
to happen. And I have been stuck on an elevator
for a little bit.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
But let's say you're going to be stuck for hours. Yeah,
I mean that does that freak you out? So? I mean, no,
it's convenient.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Yeah, I'll be like, okay, I'll get out when I
get out. I'm not thinking that anything terrible is going
to come from it.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Same now again, not saying that it's like something I
look forward to. I also don't think like the cable
is going to snap if I'm on like floor seventy
three and it's going to go crashing down.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah. No. But there's some people they won't even get
on an elevator because they are so scared of them.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I think a lot of that's claustrophobia more than it
is an elevator just itself. But this one was trapped
for four hours.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Four hours is a long time.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Dallas Fire and Rescue responded fourteen oh one Elm Street. No,
it sucks. It could suck for some people because if
you're claustrophobic, that's terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
But what do you have to go to the bathroom?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
You go in the elevator other people. You probably try
to hold it. You probably go in your pants, really
if you're with other people, because at least that's a buffer.
And then you take the pants and you wat them up,
you put them in the corner. If you just go
in the corner, that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
I think I could hold it for four hours.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Oh, sometimes you start dancing there.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
But I've not been able to hold it out driving
my car, and I put my pants before my stomach
was in bad shape. This is not recently, because it's
like I'm just escalated to well, no, I'm just saying
sometimes you literally can't hold.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
It, regardless of how bad you are.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Nand so she received a call or they received a call.
Stuck in an elevator, she was trapped for hours. They
rescued her using a Pulley system. She it's just she
so apparently she was by herself. What will be embarrassing
was though, if you do use the bathroom in the corner.
When they finally do open it up, and they're like,
all right, you're free.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
What the oh? I would tell them immediately.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, well, there'd be no telling them, f y, you
have to yell it on the way up.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Oh okay, well i'd say before you come get me,
you need to know.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
What would be the thing that I would do was
they're like, oh, the little phone rings. You're gonna be
stuck for a long time. Okay, I guess I'll go
ahead and make this in my bathroom corner. And that's
fifteen minutes in. They're like, never mind, we're coming right off.
We got you in five minutes. You've been out twenty
minutes and you made a bathroom corner over there. She
was evaluated, all good, no injuries. But yeah, inconvenient, that
part doesn't really scare me. Being stuck in an elevator.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
I mean inconvenient or inconvenient, depending on how you look
at it.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
And you're trying to get away from something.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, like I'd rather be convenient to get a Starbucks
or in a car ride. That's never convenient. Being a
trapped in elevators never given.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Well, you maybe don't take the time for yourself unless
it's forced.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, go for a car ride or something.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
You think you could do the mission possible and like
get out the top, Yeah, because like they do that
in every movie, right, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
The problem is you couldn't open those doors up one
floor without like super strong fingers. I don't have those.
I don't have fingernails. I buy them off.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Problem.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, that's the only problem with that. Other than that
did for sure mission impossible good. I think climbing It
looks probably could someone of able body climb a bit up, yes,
But those doors don't just open really.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Like even when you're at a hotel, you never try
to open one for fun.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
And they do open if they're working.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
If it's not working, well, but it'll be on if
the elevator is going.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Though, dude, what if you do get on top of
the elevator all right, like in mission.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't think they'll open if the cart's not there,
even if it's on and working, I don't think they'll
open if because somebody could just do that open and
fall down the shat.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Well that's what I mean, like on and working and
in the proper position to where it's supposed to do
what it's supposed to do.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
But what I'm saying, is you get out and you're
on top of the elevator with the pooleys, and then
it starts moving.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
What do you do?

Speaker 1 (03:41):
You just hold on to the road, you pray, you're
acting like it's a roller coaster swinging you around. It
just go like this.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah, but you go all the way to the top.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh yeah, when you got to the top, you're done.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
You guys have never thought about this.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
I don't think that it rubs up against top of
the building.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Okay, yeah, no.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, because people have to get up there and fix things.
And what if it's on the very top and things
need to be fixed, and that means you could not
get up and fix it. If it were to get
stuck and need to be fixed at the very top floor,
then no one could get on top and fix it.
So there has to be room for someone to be
able to do the work.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Of course you have logic there.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, I've never I've never even thought about climbing out
the roof of it.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Only I have if mission impossible.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, they do in all the movies.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, like if I really needed to, And I imagine
they all.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Have cameras on them, the elevators.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, so usually I'll look at all four corners in
a way, even if the even if you know, because
there's not a camera there would imagine there's one in
there somehow. Uh so, yeah, there's that one Flora Sheriffs
looking for the owner of twenty five lost kilos of cocaine.
Now this is where the metric system and we don't
really play like I know what tequilo kind of looks like,

(04:47):
but I don't really know kilograms, milligrams, the grams. It
probably like on shows. It kind of looks like if
I were to do my hands like this, like I
were holding a size ball as this it's a brick,
But what's that ball?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Would that be like a little bigger than the softball?

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Like a okay, one of those balls that you use
in your house when you're a kid and you put
on top of your door basketball goal.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yes, a mini hoop like a mini hoot ball.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
I would say, I'm doing my hands around in many
hoot basketball and then yeah, some are square, some a rectangle.
But yeah, that's that to me is a kilo? No
idea if it really is?

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Oh, because of like drugs, yeah, the kind of drugs.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
So it's it doesn't matter the shape of it. But
it's like two it's over two pounds.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Wow, I didn't know kuilo was that big.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
It could even look like a long piece of paper.
I'm looking now, so I just picture it looking like
a mini hoot basketball. But yeah, no, twenty five kilos
of Cocaine's over fifty pounds of cocaine. Wow, that's got
to cost some sweet, sweet money. Huh.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I'm sure somebody's in big trouble for that.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
How much cocaine costs?

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Amy, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
You watch market today?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Do you watch all these shows from the cartel? Yeah,
you watch cartels. That's like kind of your thing. We
were coming to the expert.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yeah, but I don't know because I mean they're selling it.
Who knows how many people it's passing through till it
goes to the end user.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
About twenty five thousand dollars a kilo street value, and
if you're looking at that would be five cap so
I mean it's yeah, it's a lot.

Speaker 4 (06:13):
So twenty five thousand a kilo and they lost how
many twenty five kilos gets kind of thet Okay, let's
see if he does this right here? Yeah, yeah, twenty
five thousand a kilo, so times twenty five that is
six six hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. Someone's in

(06:35):
big trouble.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
The Flora sheriff is looking for the owner of it.
If you need it and he lost it, let him
know he's got it.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
What if you were like a drug lord and you
sent like the guy that lost it, go claim it.
You don't get it back though, No, it doesn't matter.
You're going to do go claim it.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Why?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
But why would you want one of your people a lesson?
Let's just kill them?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
Will they do that? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:56):
But just kill them or send him out on another,
like another mission after he at least finishes that mission,
kill him, like, get something out of him at least first,
not make him.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, why would you send your worker to jail? You
need him to deliver other.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Cocaine unless he's stealing it, which is kind of what
Eddie's saying. But then you you send him out, sure,
unless he gave it, unless cops in on it.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Oh, I didn't think about that.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's not trust me.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
One gram of cocaine may cost anywhere from sixty to
two hundred dollars. That's a pricey habit.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
A gram is not a lot, right.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
That one gram could be let's just go call it
two hundred. How much as a gram.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
I would think if to me, don't know, but I
think a graham's like a hard pinch, a hard like
a hard pinch, like a three inch pinch. Yes, no idea,
that's my mind telling.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Me three inches a lot, man, three inches?

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well depends you, Yes, buddy, I would say that it's
a lot.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
That's a lot.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Now.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
I just tried to find out how many people can
use a gram, but I can't figure that out.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I mean, I feel like the more you google, the
more the Feds are onto you.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
I mean, no, I would play them this clip.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Okay, we delete it real quick as a joke. No, officer,
we don't. We were talking about that at all. So anyway,
he put on Facebook, we have your cocaine, come get
it if you want it, which would scare me though,
into thinking that they were they would like come and
like break in to steal it and like do bad
stuff anybody in the way.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah, I don't think they do that.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Like that threat, the threat, I'm not even saying it's
like cartella. Could we just like somebody's local drug guy.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
You think he'd go and try to steal his drugs back?

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Who knows if the only one person working at the
sheriff's office at night.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
You like the movies, Yeah, the guys are sitting there whistling,
kick the door open, get you get your kilos back?

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, I mean cocaine. I don't know. I just have
in some of my documentaries and stuff I have seen.
It's just not the same as it used to be.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Nothing is anything is.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Ruined for people that used to really like it because
of the feentanyl and you can't there's no way to
guarantee and you could take it and then boom die.
That's so it's like not worth it, they say, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
So this sucks for that old cocaine user who used
to like the way it used to be.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Right and Texas is on right now. Uh, Shannon, you're
on the air. Let's put it on. Shannon, Shannon, Shannon,
I'm here, Okay, go ahead, Shannon, you're on.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Y Hi.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
So I just listened to the segment that you guys
had about the lady who got arrested for doing the
illegal dental work in her home. Yes, and it made
me think I can understand why people would go to
her because it's so expensive. Dental is so expensive, even
the insurance is expensive for dental.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Right.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
But it made me think about my husband, who has
pulled sixteeth of his own at home.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah, And that was my point is I don't think
she was like up to saving teeth to again do
something to create or selling black market or I think
she probably knew, she knew how to do it, and
she'd probably help people who couldn't afford it, and I
think she also needed the money. I don't think she's
doing it for charity. But yes, there's probably a lot
of this happening that people don't know, all because our

(10:15):
healthcare system sucks, and even if you have insurance, sometimes
that sucks. So, yeah, he pulled his own teeth, How
was he numbing himself? Whiskey?

Speaker 5 (10:24):
He's not, he's not. He tried to put it with
alcohol one time and he bled too much. So the
first time he did it, we'dn'tly been together a couple
of years, and he said he was in pain. The
next day I was supposed to make him appointment with
the dentist, and I woke up that morning and his
tooth was sitting on the night stand. He had done
it with the pair of pliers while I was sleeping.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh and the reason he did it was because.

Speaker 5 (10:48):
Because he didn't want to wait for a dentist and
we didn't have really the money for it.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
So if the judge finds out she wasn't up to
no good or like weird stuff, I hope he gives
her an appropriate punishment but doesn't like put her in
jail or something, and understands why she was doing what
she was doing.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
If that's the case.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
So I appreciate you calling and sharing that with us, Shannon,
just because I think some people, when I was saying
a similar thing earlier, thought I was kind of crazy.
But uh, yeah, that's it. Thank you.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
You're very welcome, all right, see later, that's so sad.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, Brandon of Florida, Brandon, you're on the air.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
You're Morning Studio.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Hey.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
I wanted to reach out to lunch Box.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Since he's the businessman making business deals.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
And see if he wanted to sell one in Bartes
and Boucher.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
She got a couple months.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Again, Oh man, I'd love to sell them to you,
but I gave him away. I have friends and family
that I gifted them to, and so I.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Used them all for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
No, just like you know, like my friend, Oh yeah,
you know what you want one? Yeah, here you go,
here's one. I mean, I'm a man of the people,
like I didn't sell any of them.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Unfortunately, the people are your friends. I mean the people
would be the general people. You just took your friends up.
Yeah yeah, yeah, gave them to your man of your people. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Gave thee to Garrett, gave one to Ryan, gave one
to my cousin. I mean everybody got one.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, well Brandon, So sorry.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Brandon, but I can maybe contact them see if I
can get another one.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Okay, but nobody do the contacting for him. If he's
gonna say this it, don't contact Bartisian, Scuba, don't contact Bartisian.
If he's gonna do it, he has to, he has
to do it and stop leaning on folks.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
I'm not doing anything for you, bro Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
I never asked you to, did I.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
But you are going to this at some point you
would reach out to go off the air and him
go to one of you guys, be like, hey, can
you contact Bartisian and get.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Me one of eight of them.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, o A, I'd love to watch a bunch of conversation.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah, so, Brandon, I'll reach out to them. So maybe
you know, call me, calls back in a couple of
weeks and I'll see what I can do. All right,
sounds good, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
See it, Brandon.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
He's not going to do that. He might now just
to spite you. No chance what they're gonna do. Go
to Bartisian at aol dot com. He doesn't know their email.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Dude, you don't think we've DMD on Instagram?

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Yeah, no chance.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Possibly it possibly dmmed him. Really, I don't know if
he tagged him. I think I think he probably has
a DM. The two things are one. He never remembers
to do anything more so than he wouldn't do it.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
True.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
He had a set list from Jordan Davis in studio.
He promised a listener, how long until you got it
to them? About a year and you had it of
that year? How long were you waiting for it?

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (13:21):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
I got the set list at iHeart Country in twenty
twenty three and I put it on and I found
it in my house like six months later. Okay, and
go ahead, And I was like, oh, man, I put
this up on Instagram a long time ago, said someone
can have it. Who wants it?

Speaker 1 (13:36):
So you had it when you said who wants it?

Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, got it? Got it, make sure.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
And then they said, oh, I'll take it, you know
what I mean. And I was like, yeah, I'll get
it to you. And then a few months went by
and I was like, man, I don't know where it is,
and so I forgot about it. Then they called and
lent to voicemail and ratting me out, saying I hadn't
sent it and it had been like seven months.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Rat you consider that a rat if they have some
I mean, you have said you were going to give
them and it was seven months later.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, they could have just like sent me a message
on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Would you have known though, if they sent you a
message or I've never called, had never called.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
I knew I had not sent it because I couldn't
find it, okay, But I kind of just thought, oh,
it's not that big a deal. They'll forget about it
and we'll move on with our lives, you know, like,
come on, it's just a set list signed by Jordan David.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Big deal.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
We see people up here all the time, so to us.
It's not as big of a deal. That's a massive
deal with somebody.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Right, And they were going to give it to their brother.
It was their brother's favorite artists. And I don't know
if it was going to be a birthday gift maybe.
So then I had to go dig in for it
and I found it and sent it and it well,
then I never got to thank you.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
And it was about how long from the beginning, about
a year?

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
My only point was he will forget. It's not that
he can't DM them.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
He doesn't even know how to check his email on
his computer, but.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
He does know how to DM.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
No.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
I know how to check my email on my computer.
I don't know how to check it on my phone.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Okay, but his computer, all right?

Speaker 1 (14:53):
If I got the laptop around, I can check it,
no problem. Do you have to log in or is
it one of those it's already logged in. Does it
go through your email on your computer or do you
have to like password?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
And it makes me password every time, and then it
makes me send me a confirmation code every single time.
That's annoying.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
That it's annoyed.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Hey, it's like here the email hits your screen.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
That's annoying.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
He would you like us to text you a code
or call you?

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Like, take the call?

Speaker 1 (15:18):
They're always nice, Like, why would I want them to
call me?

Speaker 4 (15:20):
They're trying to get a lot of friends doing that.
They call you. That's an option.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
All it does is do this. Your number is K two.
They're giving you that same confirmation code. It's a robot
voice doing it. It's not somebody at a phone bank. Oh, going, okay,
let's give this guy call. See what's up.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
He's like, I don't want to talk to them.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
How's your day there, sir? Nah? I hope you reach
out and get them one.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah. What was that guy's name?

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I don't know?

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Brandon?

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Brandon?

Speaker 2 (15:47):
So you guys not already forgot?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Okay, and how are you gonna get touch of Brandon?

Speaker 2 (15:52):
He's gonna call back.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Oh, so you're gonna get it first? Yeah, have it
at your house, lose it for a few months.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
No, No, I'm gonna say, hey, you know, I got
to my buddy, Brandon really would like one. There could
be a great giveaway, and see if they'll get Brandon one.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
And they say, in return, what do we get?

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Man? We've been talking about Bartesian, I mean I'll send
them this.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
And how are you gonna get this?

Speaker 4 (16:12):
There's how are you gonna get that?

Speaker 1 (16:13):
How are you gonna get this audio?

Speaker 2 (16:14):
There's a link on the iHeartRadio app. You just go
to the Bybone show. Okay, but not that hard.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
But then what oh, you're gonna send them the whole podcast?
To send to the whole podcast?

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Go to a minute twenty?

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Got it?

Speaker 4 (16:26):
Got it?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Not that hard?

Speaker 4 (16:27):
I thought you were going to pull the audio.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Pull You still could pull it, like you could screen
record it on your phone the specific party.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
That's that's too much I can do that. You don't
know how to screen record? Yeah, how do you screen record?

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Good?

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Gosh acts like a shot that he can do stuff
when he can't even go get his email on his phone.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
All right, all right, you gotta pull this.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
You get another phone and you record the record.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Hit record.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
That's that's that's that's the clock, dude.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Hold on, how do I get back to there? Screen
record right here? Three? Two one? It's recording my screen?

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Well, why are you talking into it?

Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm not. I'm just showing you guys. I know what
I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Eddie, Okay, apologize.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
He knows how to screen record? I'm sorry, okay, but.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
I can't get my email. You guys act like I'm
numb the email on your phone. Why it's difficult, It's
because somebody else has to set that up for you.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
No, No, that's what somebody else has set that up
for you.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
And I'm good, Okay, I don't.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Especially if it's coming from like an outlook.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Well, that's part of it too. He doesn't really want
it on his phone because he doesn't want to check
his email.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
It's not like it. Let's be real, I don't get
that many emails.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Let's also be real, I haven't looked at my company
email over two years.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Yeah, but you have. They reach out to you in
other ways, like they know if you write. It's not
that you're not checking emails from work because they just
hit you up another.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
I don't get the company emails. Sure, people that can,
they know my private email, like a to them, the
people that matter, a lot of people matter. But I'm saying,
like that need to get things for me. They know
my private email. Yeah, I haven't checked my company email.
There was like, oh the tickets we were talking about
this morning that came in the company email, right, yeah,
so I wouldn't. I wouldn't have seen that there. Good

(18:12):
luck to Oh boy, I'm getting that right, I'm getting
that Bartesian. I think there's a thirty percent chance he
gets it. You think so that high mostly now because
he wants to spite you, because I said, and only
for spighting you. Yes, although I will do this, lunch buck.
Do you want to thank Scuba Steve while we're apologizing?
I do.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
I mean, well, I'm not going to apologize.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
That, and I know Eddie had to apologize to you.
You say, while we're apologizing and thinking, this is your time.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, I mean, I guess I'd like to say thank
you to Scuba Steve. He didn't take me to dinner
like he said, so it was it's a half thank you.
But you did feed my family kids, included with two
massive steaks that were as big as my head, little fatty.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
I like the fat though, you need the fa I
like it.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
You need that. It wasn't cheap steak.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
It was a good no, no, it was a really
good steak. It was cooked on Sunday on the grill
for dinner. So we had that and mashed potatoes and
some green beans. So I appreciate it, man.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
What about the judge that made it happen because he
was not going to do anything and the judge you,
Scuba wanted out completely.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Hey, thank you for running a fair courtroom.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Just justice, man, it's all I care about justice.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
When people in America are trying to dodge the judicial system,
they go on the run like that, and you put
them in their place.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Scale was a mother justice.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
I said it.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Felt great, man, And that steak was huge and they
were good. Yeah, they were really, I mean they were massive.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Why did you have to throw the fatty part in
there though? Just curious?

Speaker 1 (19:41):
I just make it knock him down Nutch. Yeah, you
can't lot them up to high that knock him down
a little bit in his style.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah yeah, so yeah, thanks Scuba man.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Hey, welcome man. And you said we were gonna FaceTime
and eat together like you're gonna cook stack at your house.
Being never FaceTime FaceTime either your phone works, right?

Speaker 1 (19:57):
He screen courting.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Here.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
They send a cameos to himself. Hey, hey, hey me,
Eddie thinks our company is proud of us.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yeah, it's pretty cool. The whole show. No, no, no,
just you and me. Why because if you walk around
the building. They have pictures of all these artists, like
major major artists, Britney Spears, Bruno mars Uh like everyone
that's played iHeart festival, and then us a picture of
us in that mix. I would think, like, they don't

(20:33):
have to do that.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I haven't seen the pictures.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
One though you've played the festival doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Though they don't have every artist up there.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
That's a good point too.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
But I don't think, like I mean, Jordan Davis has
played our festival, I don't think his pictures up there
like they have us up there, which to me means
the company likes us. Where is it in?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
What picture?

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Is?

Speaker 4 (20:51):
It's two holes that way? I just I got lost,
like you did.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
I got lost. I have like a Starbucks t or whatever,
and if I'm running behind it be.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Like Abby, we would you mind?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
And I had a few minutes. I walked in, heated up, myself,
got lost in the building. Yeah, so now I'm just
back to Abby full time. I tried. I tried to
do my own, but you're done. I can't do it. Yeah.
What's the picture of.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
You and me playing? Just us too?

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (21:13):
I think we're wearing our white shirts with the black ties. Really.
Oh it's not the one from the old building. No, No,
I have that one. You took that home with you?
Oh yeah, because when we were moving from the old building,
they said, all those pictures, we don't want them, so
take them.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well, they said we were moving and said take them
all lost. Everybody took them and then we didn't move,
and then they put new pictures up. Correct.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
Oh so you took them before I moved.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Oh dang, that's a good picture.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
I have those up in my office.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
I'm gonna take this one in here.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
She just take it.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
You went to a restaurant they wouldn't let you watch UFC.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Oh dude, it's crazy. So it's like Saturday night, right,
like the one thing I look forward to love UFC,
And my wife and kids wanted to go a ta
so we're like, that's fine, let's go. I can watch
my phone. But the place we went to they had
TV's everywhere. They're playing basketball games, all sorts of stuff,
like five TVs. So I asked the server, I'm like, hey,
could you put that on the UFC fight like that
TV right there. He's like, yeah, look into it. It

(22:00):
was on ESPN, No problem, he puts it up. The
fight got crazy. Dude, there was blood everywhere, and then
somewhere in the middle he comes like, hey, I'm going
to change that. There's people complaining about the blood.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I think about that.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
I was like, but no one can watch that TV
that was right next to our tables, perfect.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
For us, perfect for you, and no one else being
able to watch that TV or two different things.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
If they were going to watch it. They were watching
it from a distance. But somebody had to rat rat
us out and be like.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
I can see if I'm eating and people are getting
not for me, I don't care a body of me. No,
I sweat the blood.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
But some people, yeah, they see blood and they get sick.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
I can see where that.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
If you're eating a restaurant, maybe you don't want that.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
I didn't know that you find ou who it was? No,
I looked around, though there was an older couple kind
of like.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Looked around for what reason? You trying to eyeballs giggling.
They turned the.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
TV exactly talking about us, looking at me and.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Be it's on Matt locks for the old people.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
Murder.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
She right, They demanded me gun smoke. Now I know
who it is by the way if it gets icy
and it starts to snow and ice wherever you are
to keep from falling on the ice. They say the
safest way to walk is walk like a penguin. And
there's a reason penguins walk like a penguin. It's so
they don't fall down. So just a tip. And I

(23:15):
don't like watching people fall down, but I watch ice
falls all time on I don't like watch people fall down,
trip fall. I don't mind the ice fall as long
as they don't as long as their head doesn't balance.
I don't like when they hit their head, but ice
falls are.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Hilarious, like when they're walking down steps and they hit
all the steps on.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
The As long as it's not head, as long as
my head, I can watch it. And I don't like falls.
I'm not that. That's not my thing. That's not my
contic to consume. But they say walk like a penguin,
keep your knees relaxed, to point your feet slightly outward,
and then just shuffle. Do you do the hands too,
You probably could for a little extra balance. It does
not recommend doing the hands.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Who does that? Wattle jail and wattle?

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, White wattles like, yeah, yeah, okay, Ray, let's do
a mid role here and we're back. Hold on, man,
that's tough. I lean away from the microphone.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
Though, well, we heard it. I hear you, but it
was one of the two.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
I could have gotten right at the microphone, been right
on it, but I leaned away and it happened so quick.
That's like our cough buttons, like you guys hear that, right,
but no, but my microphone is still on, so cough
button not. It's hard for them to hear it. I
turned my cough all the time and talk to Mike
and nobody hears it, okay, because he doesn't have yours.
So I can hit my button and be like, hey, Jammie, this,
hand me this. Nobody ever hears it. That's a lotter

(24:28):
than a cough.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
By the way, good job everybody hitting your desk left.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
We're trying me too. I try to, so thank you
for not hitting your desk. A few things.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
A woman.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Accused of sneaking on a Delta flight from New York
City to Paris has been arrested again. She's trying to
sneak into Canada. There must be like some trick that
she knows on how to get all the way through
and end.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Well, she had an ankle bracelet on and somehow she
got that off.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, but I'm talking about the trick to get on
the plane. I'm not talking about the ankle bracelet and
then monitoring her from the last time she got in trouble.
There's got to be a trick that she knows on
how to slip by, slide by to get on the
plane when we think it is so or it's impossible
to do so because of all the security measures. She
was arrested yesterday. She had been in trouble, which is
why she was wearing the ankle bracelet. She did cut

(25:14):
it off. I know how she did that. She took
some scissors to cut it off. I don't know how
she got on the plane though she was trying to
cross the Canadian border taking into custody ABC News. Anyway,
there's something wrong with her right that, or she's done
this many times, has never been caught and finally she
got caught and she's figured out a way for like
cheap airfare.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
I do feel like if you dress up like a pilot,
they'll let you right in.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Dude, there is no chance. That would be the craziest.
I would never recommend that bit. I would love to
see how that turned out, Lunchbox.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
If you did that, I bet you can get in.
You still have to have a tag and they have
to that's just TSA. Once you're at the by the jetway,
Well you can't.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Get through TSA without a ticket, So you're buying a
ticket somewhere else to get on that flight.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Yeah, but then you can get on any flight. Say
you buy the cheap one that goes to Albucre Birmingham, right,
and then you want to go to Hawaii, you get
on the Hawaii wan.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
I would just be worried. This is me talking that.
I'd get on and be a totally full flight and
there's nowhere to sit, so I'm just seat filling the
whole time.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
When someone gets up, well that's when that lady got
in the bathroom right now.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, Or you'd have to just hide in the bathroom
because there's nowhere to stand unless you dressed like a
flight attendant.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
And then you walk and you serve.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
People didn't get to work. Yeah, just kid, that's what
you're doing. Keenan Thompson leaves a fifteen hundred dollars tip
at the S and L after party.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
He left a fifty tip on a fourteen dollar bill.
Let's go with like that. He's really nice. I met
him once, you did. I did the Today's Show. I
hosted it, and he was a guest.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
Was he funny or normal?

Speaker 1 (26:39):
There really wasn't the environment to just be hilarious or
write a sketch. We were just interviewing him about a
book or something, and so, yeah, he was funny, but
we weren't like be hilarious. It was like, hey, why'd
you write the book? What's good? Yeah, he wasn't not funny.
There just wasn't the opportunity for him to like show
his skills because he was just interviewing to do a book.

(27:02):
The craziest thing was, and I look back now and
how lucky I was I got to interview Derek Jeter
on the Today Show. I would never got to meet
Derek Jeter.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
That's pretty crazy.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
And he was one of the guests like, I've never
met Derek Jeter, and they were like, cause, I think
I did maybe three days is hosting this day show.
I know one of the days is when the Queen died,
I think, and they were covering that and all of
a sudden had to go into serious mode. Oh right,
let's go to a Kensington Square where they were concerned.
And I was like, oh, we talk about serious stuff
all the time, like, don't worry about me doing that.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
But yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
We sat with Derek Jeter and he was really nice
pre during post.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
That's cool. Yeah, he's awesome.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, why was I talking about that?

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Keenan Thompson leaving the tip. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Younger adults are more likely to consider themselves a lucky person. Overall,
forty percent of people think they're more lucky than not,
which I guess mathematically I really wouldn't add up if
forty five percent think they're lucky lucky with meaning you're
over average, So I guess some people are just dead

(28:06):
wrong about it. Fourteen percent say they're less lucky, and
thirty eight percent say they are nothing, neither lucky nor unlucky.
Where would you put this on the scale, Amy you,
I think, let me give you all the options. Okay,
you have very lucky, somewhat lucky, neither, you're just an

(28:26):
existing thing, somewhat lucky, very unlucky.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
I feel like I feel like luck is weird, but
I guess I would consider myself overall pretty lucky.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
So would you be in somewhat lucky category as the
second one?

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Sure, I'm yeah, somewhat lucky because I do think just
just the life I've lived, like even being born into
a family that cared for me and provided and yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
To being born in the country that you were born, right, yea,
all that control over that.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Oh yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
That I think it would be hard for me not
to consider all of that because that's just like, like
I didn't make any of that happen. I do think
other things, opportunities that happen can be a mixture of
luck and because of right time, right place, and opportunity,
but also then there has to be work alongside it
for you to maintain certain things. But being born into
the failure board, like I you know, I didn't work for.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
That, somewhat lucky, she says, Eddie. Yes, I'm gonna do
the half and half you're gonna do neither. Yeah, neither,
because I feel like I've had some really good luck
at times and then I had some really bad luck
at times.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
So you're not saying neither luckier nor unlucky. You're saying
you even out.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Yeah, pretty even out, like sometimes I'll have a good
year and I okay, so we'll go with that one.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
But in reality, you're saying you're somewhat of both. You
just kind of you're baseline. You're just on the zero, yeah,
absolute zero, because up and down the same. Sure you
think it's the same though. Basically you think you've been
more lucky or unlucky or unlucky lucky or it's all
even out for sure.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
I mean, maybe I'm a little bit on the lucky side,
but I'm maybe one percent two percent on that scale
that tips it to the lucky side. But I'd be
right in the middle for the most part. Just do it.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
But you just do it, oh, lunchbox, Yeah, he's gonna
we already know what you're gonna say. Unlucky. I'm unlucky.
I'm the unluckiest person in the.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
World, Lunchbox.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
I would say unlucky, just like I mean, I was
born in this country, that's lucky. But besides that, I
haven't really had much luck on my side. I still remember,
like when my brother and I were walking through the
park when we were kids with my dad and we
were behind the tennis courts and my brother found one
hundred dollar bill and I found two ones. It's just like,

(30:42):
why can I never get the big pot? Why can
I never have the luck where I.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Hit the imagine he imagine though you didn't. The comparison
wasn't anything, and you just found two freakin dollars. That's
pretty loud.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
But then when my brother had a hundred dollar bill,
I mean, that's the first time I'd ever seen one
hundred dollar bill.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
But you are that's all comparison based, well, comparison thief
of joy ever hear about that? Yeah, that's what I'm
saying that I feel lucky that you got two dollars
more than you did to begin with.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
No, but I got, I got, I got, I could
have had ninety eight more dollars. So I was unlucky
that I was the one that found the two dollars
and he found the hundred like that was unlucky.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
I was lucky to find it, but just not as
lucky as your brother.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
And so I just think I am unlucky, like the lottery,
like I can't seem to figure out how to win
the big money. It's unlucky.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
There's no figuring it out. I think that's probably part
of the problem.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Right, that's the thing. So I'm unlucky because I don't
ever win.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
But you said you can't seem to figure it out.
There is no figuring it out.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Okay, what if you just haven't won yet?

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Right, but I've been unlucky to this point.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Oh my god, you don't agree.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
We don't, lunchbox.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
How do you guys not see that as luck and
my luck?

Speaker 4 (31:51):
The jealousy kind of gets in your way. It dilutes
the vision of luck. Like you are lucky in many ways,
but you're so jealous of what other people have that
you don't that it brings your vision of luck down
a lot.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
What where? What am I lucky for? Your hell? Your job?
But having a good family is not lucky.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
It is.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
You work towards having a good family.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
No, were you good? Okay? Yes?

Speaker 3 (32:18):
That part?

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Okay? What about this job?

Speaker 3 (32:19):
He's missing our point about the job?

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I earned?

Speaker 1 (32:22):
This job earned it. I found you in a bar.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Right, But if I wasn't good, I wouldn't be.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Don't you think meeting him was that?

Speaker 1 (32:29):
You don't think the meeting part was like a coincidence.
That was a coincidence.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
That's the That's where I said, you can combine luck
with work.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
You think it's lucky that Bobby met me, Like you understand,
like I do.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I understand. It's just not the lunchuction.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
You not feel like that we were lucky. We get fired.
I never would freaking rob the store and tell us
a gun point.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Rob a store.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (32:53):
That was a boss having vision, like understanding, Hey, we
were doing what we were supposed to do. We were
trying to get raid and he could see past.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
As the idiot.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
It's actually not the case. But okay, okay, and listen.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I think I think that was a business decision. He
looked at us as like, man, these guys are good.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Okay, they don't think so.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
It doesn't matter what I think. Right at this point,
I'm just asking you your decision and what your answers are.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah, no, I'm you don't think He looked at the
show was like, man, the show's good. I need to
keep them around.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
No, we were really new.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
I think he bet on me. He didn't know any
of you guys yet because we were all new.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I think he was bet on me, right, But when
I was part of that show and he was like
that show is.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Good, it was not. It doesn't matter. I think that
it is a yes, that is good for you. No luck,
you're very I feel like you've we were all fortunate
in ways. I'm not a big believer in luck anyways.
I'm I'm the worst person talking about this.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
You're pretty lucky.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
I think if I had to pick, I'd be very unlucky,
just because if we're going to go how we were born,
I was born to teenage parents, one that left immediately
poverty kid my whole life, Like, that's pretty unlucky. I
didn't get to choose that.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Or was that lucky because it gave you the drive
to change?

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Well that it didn't give me the drive because there
are a lot of kids that grew up went there,
they weren't given that drive.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
I think.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
I think from what I saw, I decided I did
not want to be a part of this any longer.
Till I've never had a drink. I'm scared of it,
which I could le'd be drunk right now, especially after
this segment, it'd be awesome. I'm not a big believer
in luck in general. I'm the worst person to ask.
I just wanted to ask the deal that. But if
I had to pick, I would say very unlucky. But
I don't believe in like anyway, So I don't eve
believe I'm unlucky. I believe every situation I put myself

(34:36):
into and then there are options presented because of the
situation or the place that I've been and I've chosen,
and those have all created a result. Even if you
get a lottery ticket, you had to go to the
store that day, and are are there elements that you
can't control involved? Yes, that's every day for every situation
in life ever, because you'd be like, yeah, it's totally

(34:57):
lucky about the ticket. That anything you could say, anything
ever happened to you period is luck or unluck if
you choose to decide it's lucky or unlucky. So I'm anyway,
I go unlucky.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
But there's no need.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
You don't want the ted talk for me on this.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
That's a tough question.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
No, it's not very it's very easy.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
I don't know not.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
I do not believe in luck, not at all.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
So the roulette will is just all skill or you
can call it.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
What about you actually have to decide to go play roulette,
Like there's a decision to you to go.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
I would like to go and play roulette.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
I've made this money, or I've stolen this money, or
I have this money that I have acquired through maybe
working hard, through a draw. All of these decisions have
to be made leading up to that spot. So are
there elements of it that happened, then yes. But luck
would be if all of a sudden you're standing here
and you just look into your pockets and you have
ten thousand dollars and you're like, well, that's like magic.
Luck would be magic.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
That's magic, okay, But what you pick on.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
The Roulett wheel, that's luck. Well, you have to pick
the number. Something in your life has told you or
in your brain that there's enough.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
Pick that table to go to. That's luck. You picked.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
You walk to that table and decided. Of all the
tables that are there, these are options to you.

Speaker 4 (35:56):
See, I think that's fate.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
But when there are options, it's not luck. When there
are options, is it luck?

Speaker 4 (36:02):
That's the question?

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Yeah, what about anything? Like, yeah, fate is something divine? Yeah, man,
I don't believe in fate, intervention.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Fate either.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
No.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
I think fate is something people believe in whenever they
need to think there's something in control it's not themselves,
that it all isn't on them. But also I could
be totally wrong. I also have the understanding of I'm
not right. There's no chance that I'm absolutely right. I
don't think anyone's absolutely right. But no, I don't believe
in fate. I think a lot of people believe in
fate because they think that, well, whatever happens is supposed

(36:30):
to happen. And I think there's a comfort to that
in the security too, Well, whatever is supposed to happen
will happen, So that's fate.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
Well do you think there's a middle part of that,
like it's not just like you're just surrendering and not trying.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
But I don't know that I'm right, okay, because I'm
not fighting for it. I'm just telling you what I believe.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Having a conversation.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yeah, no, no, but I'm just saying I don't think that.
I think for people to believe, well, whatever is going
to happen should and will happen, I think that's that's
some people need that comfort.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
We have free will, and there can still be a
bigger picture.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
But then that's not total free will. If there's a
bigger picture, that's you what the picture is.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Gets complicated, but there can be a bigger plan, depends
on how you choose to navigate it. But yeah, if.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
It's total free will, though there is no picture that's
already made because you get to choose the picture. Yeah,
I believe in to complete free will.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Yeah, I think we have.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
But also I believe I could be wrong because I
don't know, Jack crap, I don't know anything. I know
what I either touched and have seen or have been
exposed to or been taught, or what the people around
me that I've been touched or they've seen or they've
been taught, and that's all we really know. Well, our
environment has given us. So no, I'm terribly unlucky. But

(37:47):
also I could hear the other side and be like,
I see why you feel that way, But I'm just
not a believer on luck. I think you make decisions,
decisions have not always just consequences. But like he says,
walk up to a relet table. If I were, if
I didn't get to choose, I just closed my eyes
and I opened them and I popped up a rearly
table and a number was just going that I didn't pick,
and a ball was there and they said, then you
win ten million. I'm like, oly, god, dang, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
That's lucky, that's all.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
That is super lucky. But I believe decisions factor in
all ways, and if a decision is I don't think
that's pure luck. I think there are elements at times.
But now I'm not a big like.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
I think it's kind of lucky that I ran into
you at Culver's that day, but I had to make
the decision to go say hi to you.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
You did absolutely and I had to make the decision.
My stupid tires rotated, which I never do, and then
I was hungry. I got to make a decision which
place I want to go to. So yes, uh, decisions
do lead to opportunities or consequences, and I think that
was an opportunity that we took advantage of it.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
But you don't think certain opportunities is going to be
put in our path for us to then make the decision.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Be put That would mean there's not free will.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
No, there's free will, but we forget like I had
the opportunity to say hi to you or not say
hi to you, And I chose to say hi.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
And I'm glad you did, right, But I but do
you think.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
The opportunity was there for me and then I missed it?

Speaker 1 (38:57):
That's on you because something even that could have happened.
Let's say you didn't say hi to me. Yeah, we
were talking, but then some guy sits down that was
the love of your life that you didn't talk to
because you were over there dicking.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Around with me and you never met him and didn't
get married to him. That wasn't That wasn't in the plan.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
And you know what, maybe it wasn't. And I would
argue that you could be absolutely right. But all I'm
saying is, especially people are like, man, this thing happen.
If this wouldn't happen, I'd have never been here. It's
like or something better or worse could have happened had
it not happened.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
So nothing's ever like serendipitous for you.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
I think that word though it was a word, man,
I know that most I know it for the movie
because it's awesome.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
I got up like the guy being at the table,
So it's sort of like, okay, if I missed him there,
then maybe I would see him somewhere else, and if
he's supposed to be in my life, then I would
come across him.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
I think serendipity in a way, which is like that's
like chance and a beneficial a chance in a beneficial
way basically, right. I think serendipity happens just it's a
numbers game. So many things happen to so many people
so many times that occasionally get a couple serendipity, serendipitous situations.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
We sometimes stuff just feels like divine, absolutely, like it's
orchestrated in a way that you can't explain.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
But you probably could explain if you really broke it down.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
But like the kids like I adopted, like one of
them could literally be my biological child, Like the way
he looks, not physically, but like same color skin, if
my wife and I it looks like my other two kids.
Like sometimes it's just like, man, that's just too perfect.
And I would have never ever thought that that was
gonna happen this way.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
But the other one doesn't.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Right, But that's could be for another reason.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
So okay, but it could be for another reason the
same way this one could have been. Again, I would
even go into socioconomic part of this story, but there's
no need to. I can tell you that one off
the air. But also, I'm not fighting for it. I
feel like I'm fighting for this.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
I have fun talking about it.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
I'm not fighting fighting.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
No, no, but I know what's gonna happen. I'm gonna
get just railroaded, and I just don't want to deal
with people being like, you're wrong. I'm not fighting for it.
This is what I believe. I believe, and I think
because of my environment and how I grew up that
every all the benefits that I have been given, I've
had to make choices, and then opportunities were presented because

(41:20):
those choices. I think some that I've missed are choices
that I've been that's been presented because of certain work,
and I've been chosen wrong or made bad strategy decisions.
I think there are things I've screwed up just merely
same thing. But I don't think that there for me.
I don't believe that there is a fate, but I
also don't need fate to exist to feel comfortable. I

(41:40):
don't need to think there's a plan for me that
already is existing. Therefore, if anything goes wrong, I can
always lean on Well, it must not be fate or
it must not be what is planned for me. So
I don't need that, and not that you have to
need it. I don't need that, So I don't. That
doesn't pop into my life. I believe in complete. I
have the freedom to make my own choices. Some choices

(42:04):
I don't have the freedom to make. Theren't about me.
But I can try to alter somebody else's decision if
it comes to me, and I can't always do that either.

Speaker 3 (42:11):
Yeah, I don't know that I lean on that saying
as a crutch at all.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
I try to see, didn't say crutch?

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Okay, Well I don't. I don't lean on it as
comfort of like, oh, I guess this is part of
the plan. I tried to see, Okay, this sucks. And
also how can it be used for good processing both
of those things.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
I think that works perfectly. I mean, I do the
same thing, but I don't think it happens for a reason. Well,
there's the other side of it too, right, like hold
on me finish.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Well, I'm just talking things out.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
I'm listening to you. I don't want to interrupt you.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
In the middle.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
No, I don't. I think, well, you know, you and
I had conversation years back whenever my adopted son needed
some stuff and I was really struggling with the decision
and what to do, and I feel like you're part
of Your encouragement to me was like you just have
to be grateful that you can provide what he needs.

(43:07):
And I don't know I received that as like, thankfully
we are his family because we do have the resources
and we could figure it out to what was going
to be best for him. Because it's one of the
hardest decisions I've ever had to make. But now on
the flip, now we're on the other side of it,
it's like the best decision we ever made. But a

(43:28):
phone call that we had was very encouraging to me
and that decision, and I felt like what I was
hearing from you was encouragement of like you're his mom
for a reason, like this will You'll be able to
do this, and he's going to be better for it.
You just have to trust that, you know.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
I think, if I'm looking back, you're his mom, and
he's very fortunate that you're his mom because in a
lot of these same situations where the people don't have
a mom that either cares so much or has the
resources to do what you guys did, they wouldn't be
able to do that, right, And he was very was
very fortunate.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
That, Okay, So I just think he was forged, Okay, yeah,
because I was making Ben and I were making certain
choices as the parents to do the hard thing, hoping
that it would work out.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
But I can because you've been through hard things and
it's worked out, you've been stronger.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Yeah, But I mean I really walked away from that, like,
oh my gosh, this is why we adopted him, Like
this is literally.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
And that's awesome. And I think if that helps anybody
for whatever reason, that's amazing. And I think if it
makes everything feel more positive, do it. I also could
be wrong.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
It doesn't make.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Men, I know, And if anybody's weird about any of
our opinion, I mean opinions, nobody.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Don't get one home alones on Christis movie. And two
I don't believe in luck. Those are two things that
I pretty much and you know, at this point in
my life, I also don't feel like I only give
a crap. And I also don't really know anything. I
know nothing. And any time I ever think I really
know something is when I really realized I know nothing,
but I know what helps me cope and gives me hope.

(45:07):
God dang write that down.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
Cope.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
I know it helps me cope and gives me hope,
and it's that I have the ability to change anything
at any time in the world. It's completely bendable. And
there is not a plan that's already been made for me,
because if there was, I'd be totally screwed from where
I came from, because that's not fair to everybody else.
That's their plan everybody where I came from. That's their
plan to be on opioids or be stuck, have dead

(45:30):
husbands and wives and drug That's not that stuff was
our plan. That doesn't don't that's not good, that's not fair.
That's the that's our plan. Like, I cannot deal with that.
Having seen what I've seen where I come from, you're
telling me that was the plan that they must remain
in poverty and be addicted to drugs or have family

(45:53):
in jail because again there's no financial resources. The only
way to get it is to go and steal, or.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
They have the free will at times to continue.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
I just don't think it free well, saying.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
That the addiction that can be very different.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
I don't think it's But again, this is all I'm
product in my environment. And so if it's fate, I
get angry at fate because all those people have their
fate was that, Yeah, that's their fate to have a
family full of addiction. Half of them are dead, a
third of them in jail, and the rest of them
are struggling and they'll never get out. That's their fate.
I don't like that. I can't take that. And it's

(46:31):
not even about me. That's that's the reason I don't
think there's a fate involved, because there are a lot
of people that.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, no, a lot of stuff is just I mean, well,
everything's just broken and hard and doesn't make sense at times.
I just think that there can be a bigger picture.
It's sort of sometimes we just see the up close,
Like if a mosaic is like taking up the entire
wall and we're up.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
So hard at it.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
I know we're when you stand, but then if you
step back and see every little piece and you see
the whole mosaic, it's like a beautiful.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
But I don't think it's painted fully until we're done painting.
I think we get to choose.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
Be willing to trust that you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Don't trust, just do trust to me, would be I
trusted the right decisions are gonna be made regardless, and
if something's wrong, well that just means it's not over yet,
because it'll be right eventually. I don't trust that because
then I think about everybody back home and they trusted
that and look where it left them. And that makes
me sad to believe that fate for people from where

(47:36):
I come from, a lot of my state, a lot
of even like Appalachia, that's their fate to die early.
I mean, like hopefully we have some choices. So my
belief is you have complete free will and you go
do whatever you want to do, make the decisions you
want to make. You will either suffer the consequences from them.
Sometimes consequences is going to be in the greatest thing

(47:58):
to ever happened to you because you learn from them,
or you will receive the rewards from them. And at
the end of it, we'll see it. We'll see if
you get into heaven or not. Yeah, but yes, no,
don't I don't believe a fate at all. Yeah, because
then I have to believe that it was the fate
of people that have it really really bad and never

(48:18):
really had a huge shot that was their fate, and
that sucks. And I can't I can't do that in
my own I can't like resolve that that that's their fate,
even like my mom's fate she was fifteen, died in
her forties drug addict. That was our fate. That sucks,
Like that's the worst, that's the worst, and that sucks.

(48:38):
So again, I'm a product in my environment, So I
cannot take that. I cannot accept that as fate. That's all.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
So yes, that home alone and you can do it.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Go back ten minutes.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
Homeloe, not Christmas movie, and there's no luck and there's
no luck. There's no luck. That's how we started.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
But don't you think it was kind of cool that
when you were in town for Dancing with the Stars
and they needed a feat sal seat filler and Caitlyn
showed up.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Well they didn't a seat filler or whatever.

Speaker 3 (49:15):
Her friend was the producer.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
You know, you're mixing all this up, Okay, but still,
so was I fortunate?

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Was it? A?

Speaker 1 (49:22):
So I had to develop a friendship with her friend
who was my pr person for Idol and Dancing with
the Stars. It's from Oklahoma. I developed friendship with her
because you're like the only normal person. How to not
develop that friendship and actually spent time cultivating that relationship.
She would have never thought to introduce me to her
friend Caitlin, who's from Oklahoma, and who knows that may
not have even ever happened. I think we can look

(49:43):
at a lot of cool stuff that happened and go, wow, dang,
I think that was fate. I think that was some
circumstances that happened, like like lunch, biye, sex oft a family.
I put the work in to have a friend that
I trusted to do those two shows. She then had
a friend and she was like, hey, you guys should meet,
and then we met. So but I don't think that
was complete luck now because had I not had a

(50:04):
friend and spent time being a friend to her, and
had she not been has she not been good at
her job that they moved her to a different show,
none of that would happen. And if it wouldn't have happened,
we would have known the difference, so we wouldn't have
been like I knew there was some face supposed to happen.
I never whatever happened to that. You just wouldn't know
the difference. One hundred of those similar things could happen
to you and they never happened, but you don't know

(50:25):
they didn't happen because they didn't happen.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
I know, maybe you just would have met her another way,
but that.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Would be fate, and she probably not. But the odds
then you can do odds.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
One to ten million. You know, she's from near where
I'm from. Who knows.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
We could have been driving on the street, crashed into
each other on the I re ended her. So I'm
gonna go on lucky. But I don't believe in luck,
so I can't even go unlucky because I've not been unlucky.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
I've not been lucky at all, just been living.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
I've been making decisions, learning from the consequences, and reaping
the rewards after I've learned from the consequences. But I
shall not fight.

Speaker 4 (51:07):
You over this.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
Nobody's fighting.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
I do not care about if you feel my opinion
is right or wrong, because it is neither, because it
is an opinion of something greater than that it is
not tangible. I cannot present it in a book and
say here are the facts. Some people will believe it,
some won't. Just like anything else, it's bigger than us.
No need to have a holy war over it. Anyway,

(51:29):
here's a play, pass this plate around a collection.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Anything else? No, man, And you're rudely interrupting. I'm really
sorry to do that. You've had a good point, but
you forgot it. I hate when I have a good point.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
I forget it. Man.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
It's like right there, you know, like, oh this is
good to say, but you know I don't remember it anymore.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
Ray could say I'm unlucky because he's not as tall
as a twin brother. Or did he get lucky because
at time maybe there was a saw that was was
coming over top of the head and he missed it,
didn't even know. Or is he lucky because maybe you know,
bigger people die earlier, Larger people with larger organs body
have to do more work. You can find a way
to make anything work in any way.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
That sounds exhausting.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
It is.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
It's how politicians do it. Though they can make anything hard.
They just say crap anyway, So subscribe to to ted
Talk thanks for coming to it, Malcolm MIDDI coming back
for four episodes. This is a genius thing. I'm gonna
end on this. It's new they're bringing it back. Wow,
well for four episodes. This is how they should do

(52:38):
these shows like this. When they do bring back, they
should bring them back for two, three, four episodes and
that's it. The Office in the UK did this. They
only did two seasons of the Office. Ever, the Brits
have TV perfected. It doesn't matter how good the show is.
They do two seasons and they're done. But ninety five
percent of shows, the greatest shows two seasons done move
on to the next thing because they want them to

(53:00):
be the highest of quality for all of time. Because
you can look at shows that are five six seven
season long, episode three, it's art's a lull. They start
to get off track five. It doesn't happen with the
really great shows over there. But what they would do
on the British Office, they would have like a Christmas episode,
they'd come back. They'd every once in a while bring
up episode back of everybody and that was awesome. And
I wouldn't like when they brought Roseanne back, and I

(53:21):
know it was good for ABC for a little bit
and then ended up being The Conners. Like they just
like four four episodes, but again, we Mererica television winner.
Just make the most squeeze the most money as possible,
even if the product gets watered down and crappy. They
had brought it back like four episodes powerful everybody's what
they're up to beginning an end storyline that had been amazing.
Do it again in three years that had been amazing.

(53:42):
Not the best for revenue, but for the like the
art of it. It's pretty cool. And I liked that
Malcolm Middle's coming back and for four episodes. I love
that show, Like The Middle they came back for four episodes.
Oh man, he's in both those shows too, Hank hel
Brian Kranston. No, the mom is yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
Who sings that theme song? Yes? No, maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
I don't remember the question.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
