Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, I want to play some voicemails first. I want
to do number one.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Aarin from Colorado Morning Studios. I was just calling in
regards to James in Virginia. Wanted to extend my condolence,
says you guys most certainly do become friends and to
some of us family. I'm sorry, excuse me, but what
a sweet little addition he was to your family. He
(00:27):
will be missed, and please extend my love to his family.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Love y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
ERN appreciate that we got a lot of those voicemails,
so thank you so much. Let's do Sheila right. Number two.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I just heard about James and I feel so bad.
We actually met him after the show because I recognize
his voice. We happened to be standing by him after
the show outside and then we went next door to
Morgan one on Far because it was the corn rain
and turned around and he was sitting by us alone,
so we asked him to join us, and we ended
up being with him for the next three hours, and
he showed us a little picture book he had bought
(01:00):
his neighbors that he loved, and he had bought their
daughters these little toy cars. And I don't know if
his sister wanted to hear about his last hours. We
had a great time with him. It's just it's just
so sad and shocking.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I didn't know that was a little voicemail. I'm glad
I've played it. I didn't know that somebody had sat
with him for three hours. Hey, Scuba, Steve, can I
ask you a question? Do we know what happened? Still?
I know you said they found him in a car
to gas station, right.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Yeah, someone called from a gas sta. Either his car
was at the gas station or near it, because someone
called from there to say, hey, we see somebody I'm
responsible in a vehicle.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
He was in there.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
They think maybe he slept in his car over night,
because there's a lot of blankets in the vehicle. He
did have heart problems. I think he had a triple
bypass six years ago, which he was talked about on
one of the post shows about I've come back to
life and I'm here living every he died.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
Yeah, He's like, I'm gonna bor all the time.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I'm going to have the greatest time I can until
I eventually go again. But I haven't called his sister
back yet to see what the results of the autopsy
was yet, because I'm like, I need to give her
some space for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And yeah, maybe we don't even make that call. I
don't think it's a call. It's not our business. If
she wants to call us.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
No, she asked, She's like, please call back. I'd love
to update you on his progress.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Like, I guess it meant so much to him that
he really wants through the afterlife for us to know
what happened to him.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
See if you know, like when his funeral and stuff
is too okay if he's having one just because he sails,
especially if she is open to us knowing that. Yeah, otherwise,
I definitely don't want to impose, hey, what happened.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
Yeah, I've been very careful about it, just because I
don't want to.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
You know, she's going through a lot, and so is
her brother because he hit a brother as well. But yeah,
he was here in Nashville. They're based in Virginia, so
that's I'm sure the logistics of it are troubling.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Morgan, you had something.
Speaker 7 (02:45):
Yeah, So I had seen some listeners on the be
Team phage say they interacted with him, and I was like, well,
we're all curious cause we never got to meet him, like,
who was he? What did he look like? So this
is what she had shared with me. She said he
was a shorter, gray haired man with a beard.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
That's what I thought already, the short part. Thought he
was tall, skinny, did not think he had a beard.
Go ahead, I'm sorry, older gentleman.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
He was smoking and thought it was hilarious that Amy
said he was probably a smoker. He was wearing his
blue Saint Jude's sweatshirt from last year's radiothon. He said
he was going to call in on Wednesday and explain
that he doesn't work for pepper Ridge Farms, but was
going to explain why he sent the goldfish and why
he sent Bobby the fire hydrant. He told me he
has been within ten feet of every show member but
has never wanted to say hi because he didn't want
(03:29):
to be a nuance. Why can't I say that word
thank you, thank you, or make anyone uncomfortable. He just
kept saying how much he loved everyone, and he was
so thankful for everybody. He was in Section six, in
the first row behind the chairs. He was the very
first person to stand up for Iris Copperman, waving his arms,
asking everyone to give her a standing ovation. He was
genuinely so sweet and sounded exactly like he does on
(03:50):
the voicemails.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He was also one of the people that came to
Abby's bar performance the first time she did a show
and like put a tip in her bucket. Which is
crazy that he would not come up and say hi
to us. Giggle was trying to catch him downstairs, yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Because he had told Abby.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
He's like, hey, I'll be there at nine point thirty,
so we're thinking, okay, we can get down there. I
was like, hey, Abby, text me if you see him.
I want to come down and see him. But I
think he was so sly because this whole personality of
not wanted to see us. He probably got there at
nine o'clock, unloaded it, and then was like watching from
across the street to see if it got picked up.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Abby, do you remember meeting him.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
I did talk to someone at the bar, yeah, but
he didn't he was sitting there. No, he didn't come
up to me. I just went around because a family
friend actually was at the bar that day and he
was sitting right next to her, and so I was
saying hi to her, and then he briefly, like just
was like, hey, good job. So that's what I remember.
But I talked to that lady in the voicemail.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
A few minutes ago Sheila, Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Yeah, and she said that they were at Morgan Wallin's bar.
And then he was like, do you want to go
to Alan Jackson's bar because that's where Abby sang.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
I was like, that's so nice.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
And then they went and it was closed.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
It was like one am.
Speaker 10 (05:03):
I put him out of business.
Speaker 11 (05:06):
No, just the time.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
It was one am, So I guess they closed early
on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I got and I've gotten a few da and this
isn't We're not doing all this to bump people out.
I just think I got a bunch of messages about it.
I'm curious about you know what he did the night before.
I know he came to the show. We were curious
if even got to the show, right, And now I've
had a bunch of messages from people going, yeah, we
saw him there. And then the one that I have
(05:33):
that I saved somebody saying they saw him in what
a force touts to me, James, he was okay, I
thought it was a hotel, but it was eating. They
were eating and they saw him walking around. He was
in a pimp and Joy shirt, and he talked about
the Bybones family. He asked if we listened to the show,
(05:56):
and if the person that said this had the last
couple of days. We chatted for five minutes. He was
by himself when I saw him before the show, but
was then talking with fellow listeners during the show. He
was either in section five or six, which Morgan said
six seen in front of the pillars, red hat, pippa
(06:18):
Joy shirt, jeans. I know you said you'd never seen him.
Wonderful older man just thought maybe he could be interested.
Seemed sad to hear this after reading about it. I
think he thought, you guys his family, great show. I
wonder if we were to see him, if we would
recognize him not as James from Virginia, but from someone
we've seen at a bunch of events. Sure, because you know,
(06:40):
we recognize more if we've met you or been around
a couple two or three times you've come to shows,
even if we've not like spent time talking to you,
we remember you. So I wonder if we'd know who
he was. You ever see him? Mutchwalks, I I mean
I know that I know of.
Speaker 10 (06:55):
He said, he's been within ten ft to me, but
I can't. I mean, I don't know. I keep looking
for a picture and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I haven't seen a picture either.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
And that's what's crazy is I saw one on the
Facebook page that said, oh my gosh, he was the
guy that took our picture out front and he was
making sure that the Ryman sign was everything was perfect.
It was my family, And I'm like, so he's not
in the picture. He's the one that took the picture.
Is it that he just did not want to be photographed.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I hope that he found a sense of belonging with
the B team and all the listeners of the show
from when he would go to events, like because he
went to the baseball player that plays music, Oh aren't
Jason Arnt He went to his show? Remember Yeah, Jason
was like I met him, so like he found like
a sense of belonging with us and then people that
(07:41):
are like connected to us. And I hope he felt
that and people were like, oh, wow, you're him at
the show at the Rhyman super sad to hear about
what happened. But if he was already like really sick, heck,
what a way to go if like you knew you
were going and you wanted to do something awesome. I
don't know what the fire stink or the fire hydrant.
I have it on my desk. I don't know why
(08:01):
Kevin put it up here. I just was like, I'm
gonna put it up here. It's here. I didn't put
it up because I knew anything about it. But for
some reason, I was like, I'm skipping on my desk.
I don't know what that meant.
Speaker 12 (08:09):
And we don't either, right, And he was gonna call
and tell us, And that's what's said. We'll never know
about the goldfish, We'll never know about the fire hydrant.
Speaker 13 (08:16):
Yeah, we were all wrong about the gold peppers farm boxes.
Of course, we thought we worked at hit Pepper's farm,
and he hit us with that, I don't work there.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, So that's what's up. Anything else that anybody wants
to say, and I'm sure new stuff will come out,
but we'll just go around real quick. And not that
this is like a memorial because we didn't know him.
We talked to him, well, we would call him on
the posto and talk to him. He plays voicemails, but
it's not like he let us know him. It's like
(08:43):
he hid from us, like he wanted to keep the
relationship that we had for some reason, because wouldn't Eve
lets me him when showed up with the boxes?
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yeah, Scuba, Yeah, it is a weird relationship.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
My relationship with him was listening to his voicemails for
years and years, and honestly, for the first year and
a half, I never put him on the air because
they were so low, and I was like, I was
just busy, didn't have time to go through and dissect it.
But then one day I was like, all right, I'm
just gonna find this guy's been cal him so much.
He seems I like his voice. That was the biggest thing.
I thought his voice was so cool and could easily
be a character or like a cartoon character. So I
(09:13):
was like, I'll put his voice on the air and
I'll go through it, and I found, like within three minutes,
I found a ten second intro, a question and then
his goodbye of like.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Our Bi Bunchoff family. I love a Bi Banchot family team,
and so.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I put that on there and then we did the
first one, and you seem to be resepted towards his
sound and his voice and his personality. I'm like, okay,
I'll keep feeding you these voicemails, and then you started
really enjoying his character. I guess for me, it's really
weird that I would hear these for four years. It's
a big chunk of my life and most of my
life here on the show. And now I'll go to
the voicemail line and his voice WANs won't be there anymore,
which is really weird. So for me, it's like kind
(09:45):
of a little bit of a hole in my heart
for that part of my day of checking the voicemails.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Usually, if we put someone on the air a lot too,
I'll give them something hookier about their name to remember.
But his voice was so distinct that we I never
even assigned it anything to it, like jumping James or
anything like that. And I would only do that to
just have something to like a hook to remember the person. Yeah,
and it was just James from Virginia. Never really had
to do that because it was all.
Speaker 13 (10:09):
Like, okay, and that's what he would say, right, This
is James from Virginia, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Bob Oones family every time, Bobby Morning, Morning, Bobby he uh, yeah,
let us know Scooba whenever you find out. If she's
cool with us finding out, definitely, Yeah, all right, cool, right,
let's do some other voicemails. Here, go ahead a number three.
Speaker 14 (10:31):
What happened with the competition? Bobby challenged someone on Twitter
about he was gonna fly somewhere, and I'm also really
going to need you guys to play the Tuesday song
soon because we keep lying to our toddler telling her
it's not Tuesday until the phone comes on.
Speaker 13 (10:48):
Was that the toddler in the back or a pterodactyl.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I'm gonna bet toddler safe bet, but the odds aren't huge,
So we really haven't talked about that bet on this show.
I can give you, I can give it to you
a brief but we'll be updating that for the most
part on twenty five whistles. But I posted a video
from my glasses. It was the first nice day playing
pickleball and I was just hitting the pickle ball, I
(11:13):
think with George Burge. He was over at the house.
We're hitting balls, and the glasses were also new, and
I was like, check this out, and somebody trolls me
and goes you suck. Anybody any good would have done this.
And I was like, all right, you wanna play, I'll
played for a thousand bucks and they're like, I'm in.
So we got in touch with each other. He lives
in Ohio. I said, cool, how do we do this
(11:34):
with the money. We have an attorney that's going to
hold the money. Because I didn't want to get scammed,
I said, I'll fly up there, and later found out
he's a four year to divisional athlete. But you know what, whatever,
I'm willing to go up. I'm willing to go play
a troll that's a four year D one athlete. But
I was not going to send my money to him
to hold because I've already messed up once and said somebody
(11:54):
that wasn't a listener five hundred dollars and the old
five hundred dollars disaster. So oh, I have an attorney
that we're probably going to talk to on Monday's twenty
five whistles that can put an escrow to hold the money.
Then we will organize me going out there and playing
this guy in Cleveland and hopefully beating a troll.
Speaker 13 (12:14):
But so far it's happening.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
So far, we're still on because we're just trying to
find a place to put the money so nobody gets scammed.
But that's the full update, and we've been keeping up
with that story over on the podcast twenty five Whistles.
I don't think we've talked about it on the show,
but we'll be taking the crew up to Ohio. I
didn't know he's a four year D one athlete. I'm
be honest with you. It was just a troll.
Speaker 13 (12:36):
That's quite the news it is.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
But you know what, I'm still gonna go, so thank
you for that. Let's go number four.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Hey, Bobby, I'm here with my son Jerem Meyer. We
were at the Million Dollar Show on Tuesday. I told
him that you can call anytime and leave a message
on your voicemail line, and he didn't believe me. So
here we are calling and leaving a message. Maybe if
you could play it back on the show that he
believed me.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Day you're on. You're on the podcast, buddy, Hopefully he
gets to hear it.
Speaker 13 (13:04):
Believe your dad.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
By the way, Amy's gone. Amy had to leaf I
you don't hear Amy's voice. Amy had to leave. So
we do the podcast sometimes before, sometimes after, most of
the time after. But Amy is not here for this.
If you don't hear that's why. Okay, cool, let's go
and update Morgan's vertigo. I always think of the U
two album every time we talk about her vertigo.
Speaker 13 (13:26):
Yeah, and there's a song I think.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, Morgan, your vertigo? What's up?
Speaker 7 (13:30):
I've officially been cleared of BPPV. So the verdigo, that's
what I know it really does. If it's called benign
and then it has paradox, big word positional vertigo, it's
actual terminology.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
When you say clear, Hey, I see the phones ringing.
Can we answer them? Is that possible? Because I know
it's after the show's off. We don't know the phones work.
We think they shut them down after the show.
Speaker 13 (13:53):
They don't even know who they're calling.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Yeah, they're good through ten thirty, so if you want
to call it now, you're good for the next twenty three.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Really.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
Yeah, I had to move back thirty minutes.
Speaker 13 (14:00):
You can do that.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, does that cost me any money?
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Nights and weekends it's free, so yeah, during the week
it's going to cost you long distance?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
All right, dude, not long distance, But I got to
pay for part of this crap. Like every expense the
show has to have to pay a part of it.
Probably not much though.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Right, No, we'll just charge to the show. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Yeah, but you know how you don't have to pay
a part of it. You don't have to show pays
for a meat. Okay, So if you want to call
unless you can't eight seven seven seventy seven, Bobby, Does
that mean you don't have vertigo?
Speaker 12 (14:30):
Yep, my episode is officially over.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You're not feeling dizzy?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Nope.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
But unfortunately with BPPV, if that's what it ends up
really truly coming out to be after I do some
more testing and stuff. It can come on anytime at once.
I could roll over in bed, it could happen, so
it's something I'll likely to deal with for the rest
of my life.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
So you're clear. So it's it's more like your cold
is gone, but it's anytime a cole could come back.
So it's it's gone.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
It's but like they that's how they do the terminology
of like this episode is now cleared, so I'm officially
like okay to get back to normal life.
Speaker 12 (15:01):
I can start working out again.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
I I can go on walks, I can do things
that I haven't been able to do. So I'm cleared
until obviously another episode happens.
Speaker 13 (15:09):
Can I should be.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Driving the whole time?
Speaker 10 (15:13):
You could drive?
Speaker 12 (15:15):
Well, I've been scared to walk because I'm scared to
fall over. It's easier to like sit down. When you're
moving around, your body moves a little bit differently.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, because driving you're not step step step, no balance
issues when you drive.
Speaker 11 (15:25):
Yep.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
So now I also have to do like at home
pet where it's like habitual PT.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I have to basically retrainage habitual habitual PT that's.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
Not a dirty I have to do like basically retraining
my brain to like roll over in bed, because now
my body thinks I'm always spinning.
Speaker 12 (15:44):
I have like PTSD essentially in my brain.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
That feels like what people explain being drunk when you
go to bed, feels like when the room's spinning.
Speaker 12 (15:52):
Yeah, because that's like that or a tiltal whirl.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Good luck. It doesn't feel like it's over though, because
you're like.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
But this is exacting the episode. It is cleared, I
can get back to normal.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
Does this mean the crystals are back in line?
Speaker 7 (16:05):
We don't really know they're supposed to be back in place,
that means the episode is over, but we don't know
if they're permanently back in place and then something else
jolts them.
Speaker 12 (16:13):
We don't really know how that all works.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Hey, I want to see the story about that, the execution, Mike,
because I think the only time to talk about it
is here. It's the first time in fifteen years. This guy,
he's chosen to be executed by firing squad.
Speaker 13 (16:24):
What on earth? So they don't do that?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Right? Is this America? Yeah, they don't do that. No,
they do. That's why it's happening in America. But for
the first time in fifteen years, it's happening in America.
Whoa South Carolina will be the first state to put
someone to death by firing squad squad in the US
in fifteen years, which is today. His name's Brad Sigmund.
He was convicted of killing his ex girlfriend's parents two
thousand and one. He chose it over to other methods
(16:48):
they offered him, firing squad, the electric chair, in lethal injection.
Now I'm not having to weigh this in reality, but
lethal injection is supposed to be terrable, painful, the worst,
and the electric chair can't feel good. So as barbaric
as firing squad sounds. I bet that's the quickest when
(17:09):
you think so might I mean, yeah, I wonder what
you feel with the injection. Have you ever heard have
you ever heard it described? It's like suffocation. That sounds
like the worst that I know. And you think, oh,
just a needle, that must But it's what it does
when it shuts your body down, Because it shuts it
down a little by little.
Speaker 13 (17:25):
It sounds like the least painful, like you just go
to sleep.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Yes, And that is not the case. Since sixteen ohaight,
at least one hundred and forty four civilian prisoners have
been executed by shooting in America, nearly all in Utah. Now,
from what I've heard about the firing squad is that
multiple people have guns. Now this is old history of
it could be different today because we haven't done this
in a long time. But in order because people have
(17:50):
to actually shoot the guns, and they also don't want
their mental health to decline because of having to shoot
a gun and kill somebody. So there's only one bullet
that's real. And let's say there are five people, for
them have blanks. One of them has real, So no
one actually knows if they have the bullet. WHOA never
heard that, did not know them, don't know if it's real. No,
(18:11):
it used to be real that it used to be
how they do it, but they do it so infrequently.
Now would you look that.
Speaker 13 (18:16):
Up so you can have peace of mind knowing that.
I mean, I may not have.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Had the bullet, semi peace of mind, piece of mind.
Odds are I didn't do it. Did a lot of
duck hunting as a kid. And the crazy thing about
duck hunting is, for the most part, if there are
multiple people shooting at the duck, everybody claims it. It's
the difference is nobody wants to claim this one, but
you don't really know. Same thing with the duck. They're
(18:41):
all flying over that and so you really don't know.
Mostly it was Arkansas, Keith, you hit and I missed.
But uh yeah, it feels barbaric. But I think if
I were to have to choose from those, I would
choose that one as well. Okay, here we go. Do
all members of a firing squad have live am No?
Not all members of a firing squad necessarily have live ammunition.
(19:05):
Sometimes one or more members may be given a rifle
with the blank cartridge. The firing squad members may not
be told if they're using live or blank. This is
believed to be spread responsibly among the members and give
them away to deny that they fire the shot. However,
firing a live round produces more recoil than firing a blank.
Speaker 13 (19:25):
So you kind of know, I mean kind of oh possibly.
But see, like the weird thing is is when you
do lethal injection or electric chair there's an executioner who
activates those things and like they know they're doing it,
and they've probably been doing it for years.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I think it's different than pulling the trigger. I think
pushing a button or an injection is different than because
shooting someone with a gun feels like murder. That's how
murderers murder. Murderers in live don't murder by putting someone
in a chair and shocking them. So there's something penalty based.
This is my mind working here with the electric chair
(20:05):
because it is a kind of punishment that we have
created we as humans, and figured out that we only
give to a type of criminal. Same thing with lethal injection,
right you lay them down. It's a system we've developed
this for criminals with gun. You can get a gun
and go shoot somebody right now, So that feels more again,
more barbaric and murderous. It'd be odd to be asked
(20:27):
to be in the firing squad, like, hey, we need
five guys.
Speaker 10 (20:30):
How do they pick that? Is it like put names
in a hat and you can get or put a
name on a wheel, I mean a volunteer.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I don't know if anybody volunteers, I'm probably gonna take
them out of the running to actually do it, and
then probably eliminate them from law enforcement. I'm gonna bet
none of those are the option. Here are the history
of methods. The noose and the chair, which you've seen
probably a lot on television where someone stands in a
chair or a bench and they kicked the bench out
and then they're hung. That happened a lot the gas chamber.
(21:01):
By the start of the twenty first century, states all
over the country were abandoning the electric chair. Death by
electrocution was excruciating pain, it was no longer compatible with
contemporary standards, so they did gas. Lethal injection was first
considered by the State of New York in the eighteen eighties.
During deliberations, doctor Blair invited the Commission to envision a
(21:23):
future in which a person condemned to death could be
executed on his bed cell with a six gram injection
of sulfate of morphine. But it wasn't until nineteen seventy
seven that Oklahoma became the first date the firing squad. Finally,
of all of America's methods of execution, it's been the
least often used. From nineteen hundred to twenty ten, only
(21:43):
thirty five Americans. Only thirty five of America's eight thousand
executions were carried out using this method, So thirty five, yeah,
and since nineteen seventy six just three people, with the
last one carried out in Utah in twenty ten. Will
you see the lethal injection? I want to at least
(22:04):
have knowledge of how painful it is. I've you can't
do it and then report back right because you're dead, correct,
So no one can actually go through it and go yeah,
that w one hurt.
Speaker 10 (22:16):
Yeah. I think that's happened before.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, okay, uh. Inmate autopsies reveal troubling effects of lethal injections.
I don't know if you see anything, Mike, you just
come over to me. I know, yes, suffo. It's so suffocation.
Speaker 13 (22:30):
I know that there's like a process of for something
different chemicals.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
What do you see, Mike, Yeah, asphyxiation, panic and teary.
Speaker 13 (22:37):
Basically it sounds like you're drowning. It's in your body.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Breathe and so yeah, well that's that's. Oh do you
see the jail that you could go to jail for
like ten minutes for crimes and you're out ten minutes. No,
so this is kind of a weird story. They can
basically implant a chip in your brain and with that
it gives you lessons and the feel of longer time,
(23:05):
but you're really only in for like ten minutes, ten hours.
So I can read you some of this from a
tech e blog and I read this yesterday, and there
really wasn't a place in the normal show to get
to it, because it's not normal show type stuff. After
receiving the brain of plant, prisoners would be reconnected up
to like a headset that allows them to experience the
grief of their victim's family through AI generated memories. These
(23:27):
synthetic memories are personalized depending on the crime committed and
the unique brain structure, as well as psychological profile of
the individual. The memories would be seamlessly integrated into the
existing neutral neural networks of the brain, preventing cognitive dissonance
and ensuring the subject experiences the memories if as if
they were real. So they're planning these into the brain
of the person. And so the whole thing was you
(23:51):
go to jail, and you get the effects of jail,
but you're not in as long. And it was kind
of an experiment, exploratory type prison.
Speaker 13 (23:58):
But those brain effects probably last oh forever.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
No, yeah, they're in your brain, in your brain. But
then you would go, I'd try to go somewhere and
be like, how do I get these out? Yeah, go
go to Disneyland, go to Well No, like I tried
to go to somebody else who was like a you know,
black market memory removal.
Speaker 13 (24:14):
Oh you mean like get that chip out of there.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Like eternal sunshine in the spotless mind? Like, how do
I eliminate what they've put in? But that's pretty wild
that that they're doing, or at least thinking about doing,
simulation prison for like a ten year prison. Senates in
ten minutes, I do have some calls. Let's see, let's
go to Sonny in Maryland, Hello, Sonny. Hello, by what's
(24:41):
going on buddy?
Speaker 13 (24:44):
This show you're on?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (24:48):
I want to show want. I was wondering about you
and your wife once to the core ass to get married,
and you let your family and friends. If anybody made
a comment about just showing up to the courthouse because
it's a public place.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
If I'm not.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
You and your wife would be offended.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I'm not feeling abby.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
Can you watch that?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Can you explain what the question is here? Because I
know you talked him. What's the question?
Speaker 8 (25:23):
Yeah, So he and his wife got married on like
around Valentine's Day and his sister was like, Oh, I'm
going to show up to your wedding. They were just
gonna go to the courthouse. I don't know if she
was offended that she didn't get invited, but she's like,
I'm going to show up. So he's like, what would
you guys do? And now he's on non speaking terms
with his sister.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
So you haven't gotten married yet, Sonny, Me and my
wife did get married. Did your sister show up?
Speaker 9 (25:46):
No? No one show We changed the date because my
wife was real anxious that someone would show up, so
we changed the date. No one showed up. And we
told people a week later that we got married, and
everyone was pretty final with it besides my sister. And
then and uh, she got real upstead and I went
(26:10):
off on her, and I breached out to her a
couple of times to meet in person, and she's still
not over anything and still doesn't want to get together
in person to talk anything else.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Why's she so mad? Like, for real? Why is she
so mad?
Speaker 9 (26:32):
Me and my wife are me and me and my
wife are one of the same thing, you know. It's
all we did was seen to d And if we
would have made that comment, if she would have got
married at the courthouse, and we would have made that comment,
me and my wife and a bunch of other people
are pretty sure that she would be upset if we
(26:55):
would have made that comment. You know.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, let me speak on this, Macro, because I don't
know the specifics of why your sister's mad, what the
the element is that has fired her up so much.
It's not her life and her marriage. She has a
right to be a part of your life. She's your sister.
That's pretty cool, But there is a point where she
can be so problematic that she doesn't deserve to exist.
(27:20):
If she is hurting you in your wife's version of
your life. It seems to me like you've had you
tried to have a talk with her. She wasn't receptive.
It seems to me like you've said, let's meet, she
wasn't receptive. It's no longer on you. It wasn't really
on you to begin with, at least from what I've heard.
But there is responsibility in being a good brother, even
if it's her fault. I think you have met that
(27:41):
responsibility in saying can we talk about this? She said no?
Can we meet? She said no. There's really nothing else
you can do in order for her to come around,
because it sounds like there's a problem that I am
not privy to. I don't know if she doesn't like
your wife. I don't know if she I don't know.
There could be many things that we're not knowing here.
But I think from what I've heard, you have done
(28:01):
your job. You should go to sleep at night going
I tried to fix the relationship with my sister. I
think the final thing that you can do is say
whatever your sister's name is, hey, I know this hasn't worked.
You won't meet with me, but I want you to
know the door is open and it will remain open
if you want to meet and you want to talk
about this. I am your brother, let me know, But
(28:24):
until then, I have to cut the toxicity from my life.
So I think that's where you are there, Sonny. By
knowing what I know, you've done a good job trying
to get it back together. It's not up to you
to fix it. It's just up to you to be
there for repair whenever she wants to repair.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
All right, And it sucks because now we've just found
out my wife is pregnant, and what's when my sister
just found out she's pregnant again, And now we're having
a bump in the road with our relationship. And you know.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
It does sound tough, but again, you've done what you
can do. Leave the door open, let her walk back
through it. Dot dot dot to be continued. But I
think you can go to sleep at night knowing that
you tried. I appreciate that cost, Sonny. I hope that
it all works out within your family. If there's anything
that we've been reminded in the last week or two weeks, man,
(29:23):
life comes at you quick. Sometimes it's over before you
know it, so leave the door open a right body
you all right? See later, Let's go to Christina in Denver.
If you don't mind, we'll do two more calls. Christina,
you're on.
Speaker 15 (29:40):
Good Good Morning Morning Studio Morning. I so quick question
for Scuba Steve. I'm going to go to San Francisco
for a June second baseball game and was wondering if
you've ever been and if you could recommend a good
area to sit in in the stadium.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Scuba Steve. She wants seeding directions.
Speaker 6 (29:59):
This is for the Giant Stadium. Yes, ohry cool.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
Yeah, I recommend even though maybe people may think nosebleeds
are bad, this is one of those stadiums where it
actually is good to be towards the high side, which
would be so if you're looking at the stadium would
be on the right side. I'm not sure where they
label it as or what section would be, but if
you're looking at it right side, that way, you can
have a view of the Bay Bridge and Oakland and
the city in the spotlight over there, behind you or
in front of you.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
It is so cool to sit right there. That's where
I recommend it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
What else, Christina, Okay, Eddie.
Speaker 15 (30:30):
So you lost your dad recently, which I'm very very sorry.
I lost my mom almost a year ago, and I'm
really struggling. And you always just sound so uppy and
positive even when, like, you know, you guys, start talking
about your dad. I was just wondering if you could
give me any advice on how to deal with grief
(30:51):
and what you've been doing to stay still positive.
Speaker 13 (30:55):
Okay, hey Christina, Yeah, that's a tough question. I think
everyone grief differently. It's definitely gotten. What's weird about my
dad is that when he passed, we all, like meaning
my sister, because my brother had a stroke right before
my dad passed, So my sister and I and my
(31:16):
mom kind of went into mostly my sister and I
went into kind of survival mode, into like, all right,
we got to help my brother and we got to
help my mom kind of get through this, and so
we it hurt and it was hard to deal with immediately,
but we kind of pushed through it and we said,
what do we need to do to help my brother
and help my mom kind of get through this, and
(31:37):
we did that. Now, to me, it's getting harder, you know,
it's been I don't know it's been six months maybe,
and it's starting to get harder. There are times that
I'm driving or thinking to my dad and I really
just reach for my phone and be like, oh, let
me call my dad because I have a question for
this and he's not there. So my answer for me personally,
(32:01):
I think I felt kind of positive and kind of
kept my positive vibe because I did have to kind
of just move on immediately for my family. Now that
we're past all that, I think I'm getting a little
more going through that kind of that grief, that grieving
period more and more. So I don't have an answer
(32:24):
for you, because we all do it differently, and I
think for me, I'm kind of going through the hardest part,
I'd say in the last couple months, because I pushed
all that aside. But you know, like for me too
is thinking of my dad in positive light and thinking
of these memories, which is really cool. Like when we
talk about stuff on the show and it reminds me
(32:46):
of my dad. I love kind of talking about him
now because there were these really good memories of my dad,
and I like to think of instead of missing him,
of all the good good times we had together. If
that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Yeah, I think again, everybody is way differently. When my
mom died, I was on the air and I just
continue doing the show because I was like, I got it.
I got to keep working. And then I had to
do it, put the funeral together. I had no time.
There was no time to grieve because I had to
do the funeral. I had to go do all the
what do you want to do? Do you want? You
want this kind of cast?
Speaker 13 (33:18):
Get or earn?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You got to get it all the organized. So I
had to do all of that, and you know, i'dn't
grieve for two years. And it's weird because like little
things will trickle up, or like an episode of an
old TV show or something will remind you and you go, oh, yeah, dang,
that's crazy, my mom's dead. Like that happens all the time. Yeah,
where it's like, that's like, that's crazy.
Speaker 13 (33:39):
So when you forget that your parent died is very
strong whish.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I think the only answer is time, time, time, time time.
It'll never feel whole, but with time you'll be able
to understand and celebrate the awesomeness of it and also
be sad at the same time, Like two things can
exis at once, but right now, especially early, that is
almost impossible because the two things cannot exist at once.
(34:06):
For me, one, there was no bad when it first
happened because I was so inundated with the details, organizing, communicating,
so there was a little bit of shock, but it
was so much I was overwhelmed by what actions I
had to do that I didn't have time to grieve,
so there was no two things. Then then later it
was just sadness because there was no organizing or communicating
(34:29):
or there was nothing to distract me from that. But
with time both can happen at once. It's almost like
you can just grow into it. Yep, it sucks. It sucks.
My mom never got to meet my wife. That sucks.
But also at the same time, I can appreciate and
about my grandmother too, just as much, if not more.
(34:51):
My grandmother adopted me for a lot of my life.
You can do both at the same time. I can now,
and I think with time you'll have the ability to
be said because you love them, but be happy because
you love them. So yeah, Christina, it sucks, Christine. Yeah,
there is nothing to say except it sucks and we're sorry.
A lot of people understand what you're going through. But
(35:12):
I think most people would say the same thing, that
it just takes time and for a lot of time,
it's gonna suck and forever it's gonna suck, but there'll
be an appreciation that grows that you don't even have
yet that will be like a gift that is given
to you later because of this. But it sucks. I'm
not gonna lie to you, but it will just suck
different and it will be way more awesome later as well,
(35:36):
when you can exist in the space of happiness at
the same time with sadness.
Speaker 16 (35:42):
Well and ill. Thank you so very much, y'all know,
I really appreciate you, and listening to you guys makes
me happy and forget about things for just a little bit.
So thank you.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
You're welcome. Thank you for calling. I can see where
it would be so easy that if you were like
I could see how you could become an alcoholic or
a drug addict going through crazy grief, yeah, because it's
the only thing that numbs anything, yeah, or an addict
into something else. So you know, and I I don't know, Christina,
I'm hoping that's not the case, but I could see
(36:15):
where for me, I'm so scared to drink because I
would love it. I'd love to drink, man, I'd be awesome.
I like to have a drink right now. I love it.
Speaker 13 (36:21):
It's a little really, man.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Is it? Though? Later but I could see where I
would I would want to numb those bads, and that's
what I would do. So there was also more of
an understanding of that when my mom died. But Christina,
we're rooting for you. It's time time, time time. It's
not going to be awesome. It's not going to be easy,
but it is going to get awesomer and it is
going to get a bit easier because you'll be able
(36:43):
to enjoy more as well. So thank you for the call.
Speaker 16 (36:47):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Take care by Christina. Flying cars are coming to Orlando. Hey, Scoob,
it is your town. Heck yeah, dude, how's traffic down there?
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Traving down there is actually pretty good because they realized
that people were coming moving and tourism. I'm talking to you, Nashville,
and they got ahead of it and they started building
these toll roads and they really increase our infrastructure. Hey
has this sucked for about ten years, but man, it
has really improved traffic in the area, so it's actually
really not that bad. There are still some spots like anywhere,
but it's overall pretty great traffic.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
That's about to be awesome theren we have flying cars, No, dude,
months go. Orlando is gearing up to bring flying cars
to the region. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority is looking
for partners to develop and operate a flying car landing
pad called a vert a Port at the airport.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
Oh my god, dude, this is cool.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Under it is so cool. This is the Jetsons. But
also this ain't gonna be good for a while.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
He's driving if we moved the show to Orlando. There's
so much opportunity there and so much cool stuff. You
like UCF, it's fun.
Speaker 13 (37:39):
I like the beach.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
No, I don't want to be Eastern time zone. Really,
you know what time games come on? Come on?
Speaker 6 (37:49):
Yeah, but that's terrible.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Like that's what I think about it immediately, is like
what time game starts?
Speaker 10 (37:54):
I mean the game starts at nine o'clock, so you're up,
so at least eleven thirty, No East Coast is out.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Arkansas Vanderbilt played at nine pm Central time. Can you
imagine me having to stay up till ten o'clock to
watch a game.
Speaker 6 (38:07):
Can you watch it the next day, though.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Says a non sports fan. Wait till the next day,
don't watch a game?
Speaker 13 (38:13):
No chance?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Wow? Well, can you just wait a day to eat? No,
you gotta.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
I feel like all the other benefits supersede that one.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Thing, the verteport at the airport. If everything goes according
to plan, the project will be completed in twenty twenty eight,
setting Orlando up for cutting edge success with small electric
aircraft that takes off and lands vertically. Now it won't
be everybody has one, it'll be very but it's much
like these what these weaimo Yeah cars, Yeah, we don't
have them here, but waimo's do. I have to my
(38:40):
driving and those things are data wise, wildly successful, less
rex than human driving cars. But it's weird because you
get in one and there ain't a driver. I never
even been in one, and I think it's weird. Where
Scuba has I've.
Speaker 13 (38:56):
Seen them and I haven't been one.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Anybody else been in a weymo?
Speaker 10 (38:58):
Nope, No, now that you say it, I was on
a bus last night in my dream.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
That was in your dream? Oh my god, I don't
don't do dreams. Are using your one dream a year?
You can if you want to use you just used it,
adopt it, but you can you can tell your story.
Speaker 10 (39:15):
I want to use it.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
But I just now realized I you get one dream
a year.
Speaker 10 (39:19):
And I know I'm just saying I just realized it.
I didn't say what it was.
Speaker 13 (39:22):
Was anyone used their dream yet?
Speaker 1 (39:24):
No, Okay, I not even made that rule, but I
use it for myself to one dream a year. If
you're gonna tell a story about a dream cashing the coupon,
well that's your coupon. That's it. Let's see a couple
other things. Someone I saw the other caller Abby. What
were they asking about the Ryman. I don't know if
they hung up.
Speaker 8 (39:42):
Oh yeah, he was just saying, like last year, you
and how post malone came out and then a lot
of the show members came out to say hi to people.
But this year, it just everybody kind of just started
leaving and filtering out.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
When it ended a storm. There was literally a storm.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
Oh he didn't know if it was like due to
the Ryman, like restrictions or anything.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
There were no restrictions. I as soon as the show
was over, I went to my dressing room. Four people
showed up like someone had died, and they and I
talked about this, but I was like, what happened? And
they were like, uh, an air not an air tank,
pro paine tank. It was so so windy and so stormy,
a pro paint tank flew off a truck and nailed
your car. And so it was storming so bad that
(40:19):
everybody was like GTFO. So I don't think anybody stuck
around because everybody was just trying to get out of there.
Uh So that would that would be why we didn't stay.
Because they told me my car had died, and I
was like, how bad is it? And they were like oh.
And then I walked down it was raining, so I
didn't want to look at it. It was because I don't
want to stand in the rain. And they were like,
just look at it tomorrow. So all night I'm just
(40:41):
like I had a dream, you know, all night, I
was like oh. And then I came to work on
Wednesday and I didn't I didn't look at it, got
home parked in the garage because I switched off. I'll
drive the hun day some I'll drive the car some
I drove the Hundai, didn't look at the car for
the first time. I looked at it this morning.
Speaker 13 (41:00):
Wow, that's self discipline.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
It's yes, and not wanting to be upset, not because
of anything other than I have capacity, and I didn't
have the capacity to be upset. It was nobody's fault.
And also, the sun comes up tomorrow regardless, So if
it was smashed that my windshields sun comes up tomorrow
eventually to be fixed, and I'll look back at it
and it sucks because I got to send it in.
Speaker 13 (41:23):
How bad?
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Eh? I thought maybe we lost Eddie. That bad when
those four people come to mind, and I think when
they came to tell me that they thought I was
gonna think it was a prank. And the person who
led to tell me was somebody who I know won't
prank me in real situations, as Tim, my security guy,
and he was like, I was like, you get serious,
and he goes, I'm telling you this so you know
it's serious, and I'm like, oh, but how they presented it,
(41:46):
it was like duh, dun du da. I was like,
we lost Eddie and now they're like, no, a propane
tank flew off of a truck and nailed your car.
They're like worse, that's what I said, worse. So that
would be why because everybody was getting the crap out
of there because it was a bad storm. So yeah,
it wasn't the Ryman's fault. Don't blame the ryemand I mean,
you can blame us, but we blame mother nature, and
(42:07):
I blame How did the propane tank fly for truck?
Why was there a propane tank near in the parking
lot of the Ryman? Though it wasn't like it blew
across two city blocks.
Speaker 13 (42:18):
Just like a propane tank like you use it on
the bottom of your gas grill.
Speaker 16 (42:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
They just said a propane tank flew and hit my car.
I pictured it to be about ya big? What's just
three feet?
Speaker 13 (42:25):
That's about yeah? Yeah big.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
So that's what you can blame us, but we're just
gonna point the blame mother nature.
Speaker 13 (42:35):
So you can't get mad at mother nature.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
You can't.
Speaker 13 (42:38):
But it's just what yeah about that thing?
Speaker 1 (42:39):
You can do about it?
Speaker 10 (42:40):
Wasted energy?
Speaker 1 (42:42):
We can do a few more minutes here. I got
like seven things ahead mark for this podcast. How about
the naked passenger?
Speaker 13 (42:54):
Do you see the video yes, I didn't see the video. Story,
we didn't see the video, lunch walks, you.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
Want to talk about it?
Speaker 10 (43:00):
She lost her mind and she started she got naked
and was running up and down the aisle of the
Southwest flight. And I'm like, man, where am I on
this flight? A naked chick running up and down? Sign
me up?
Speaker 1 (43:09):
You don't want to be on this flight because they
had to go back to the gate. But you want
to be on this flight if like, you're forty five
minutes from landing and they still land even though they're crazy. Happened?
Speaker 13 (43:18):
Yeah, call and you have nothing to do later that day?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Well no, because if you land even with the crazy
person on, you're still on time. So that doesn't matter.
What matters is what they had to do. Here's a
report from ABC Chicago.
Speaker 17 (43:29):
Passengers of board a Southwest Airlines flight are shaken up
because a naked woman delayed their flight. The flight from
Houston Hobby to Phoenix had to return back to the
gate because of all the commotion this woman caused. She
appeared at the front of the cabin topless, causing a scene.
HBD did take her away from medical evaluations, but did
not say if they were planning to file charges.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Here's a fellow passenger explaining what she saw and a
little bit of lady yelling also in.
Speaker 9 (43:56):
This It was so shocking.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
This is getting crazy, Like this is something that you.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
See out of a movie.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Where where do you remember her saying that she wanted
to get off the flame.
Speaker 11 (44:06):
The passenger also said she heard the woman yell that
she was bipolar. Then when the plane started taxing to
the runway, she.
Speaker 6 (44:13):
Started jumping up and down, screaming at the top of
her lung.
Speaker 11 (44:20):
The woman took off all of her clothes and continue
to yell.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
So you want to be on that if you still
get to your place on time.
Speaker 10 (44:27):
That's a good point. I didn't think about the turning around.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
And this woman is not someone who was like, I'm
a terrorist. She was having a medical episode. Yeah, so
that's what sucks and makes you sad about it. But
that would be crazy. You want to fly somebody's button
naked up there for sure, I'm pulling my phone out.
There's nothing I can do. I can't save anybody.
Speaker 10 (44:41):
Yeah, that's definitely viral material.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
I don't want to like restrain her because then I
get charged with touching a boob, and I'm like, I
just on the flight.
Speaker 10 (44:47):
Oh question, do you get in trouble if you post
a video on TikTok of her?
Speaker 1 (44:52):
It got posted everywhere.
Speaker 10 (44:53):
Being naked?
Speaker 1 (44:54):
You could you can put little emojis over stuff.
Speaker 13 (44:57):
You need to do that.
Speaker 10 (44:58):
Oh you'd had to emoji the naked board?
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yes, unless it's like yes, the answers yes, But he's
thinking like I who sent it to mic and he
doesn't send it back to me.
Speaker 13 (45:07):
I'm thinking of like my kids though, what would they liked?
They be like, well, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
What would you do as a dad? Would you go
cover your eyes?
Speaker 13 (45:14):
Gosh, that's tough. I mean I tried to, but I
mean there's.
Speaker 10 (45:17):
Too many eyes.
Speaker 13 (45:18):
Man, somebody would be like my dad.
Speaker 1 (45:23):
Yeah. One other plane story? Okay, three things left, right,
let's count it down. Give me say number three, ray,
number three? Thank you. A team armed with a gun
overpowered by passengers on board a plane. Now I think
this was Australia. But did you see this one?
Speaker 3 (45:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (45:40):
TSA, what are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (45:42):
No, No, Australia, they don't have TSA, not the same.
They have a version of it. I think ts A.
Ohally American only worldwide, worldwide security. But I think TSA
it was a shotgun right. Police police in Australia have
charge of seventeen year old who got on the plane
with a shotgun and AMMO. He was filmed being wrestled
with the ground by passengers and crew as the aircraft
(46:04):
prepared to take off from Avalon Airport near Melbourne, carrying
one hundred and sixty people bound for Sydney. Police believe
the teenager got onto the tarmac by breaching a security
fence so didn't go through the airport wow, which makes
sense because you're like, how do you get a gun
so big? Yeah, before climbing the front steps to the plane,
where he was tackled to the ground. The seventeen year old,
who has not been identified, was taken into custody and
(46:24):
will appear in youth court to face eight charges from
the BBC. Also, Australia does not have the US equivalent
of the Transportation Transportation Security Administration. It implements its own
aviation security procedures, with airports and contractors being directly responsible.
That being said, they haven't had many problems we have and.
Speaker 13 (46:42):
Have had and this guy didn't go through them.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Yeah, yeah, I was. I thought the same thing when
I read the headline, how do you get a shotgun on?
So then I started envisioning him walking on like a
peg leg, like acting like I got a peg leg
and they didn't see it because the gun was at
his pants leg. Yeah, but no, he came through the fence.
But in my head I would have gone peg leg.
They didn't. It was made a I had a whole
thing in my head. It was made of soap, so
they couldn't. It didn't fire off in the in the
machine right now, hit me the next one.
Speaker 10 (47:07):
Number two.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Celebrities are just like us. They go places we go.
Eddie had a close close encounter is a weird term, well,
because that's what it was. That's alien, I know.
Speaker 13 (47:16):
But I was so close to him, did not talk
to him, and it was like do I say hi
to him? But I didn't. It was Chris Tomlin.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
Oh okay, one of the biggest first of all, one
of the biggest selling artists of all time in the world,
but possibly the biggest Christian artists in lunchbox in exist years.
Speaker 13 (47:34):
And he's been in studio in our studio.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
Yeah, so where were you at church?
Speaker 13 (47:38):
Which is another cool thing that, like, you know, a
Christian artist is at church, Like I just I don't
know you think of a Christian artist. Yes, yes, he's
Christian whatever, but he's also an entertainer, probably touring all
this stuff. But to see him at church was pretty cool.
And we pretty much walked in together. So I was
in the parking lot and I always drop off my
(47:59):
kids my family first because they need to go to childcare.
Then I parked the car and I'm walking by myself
and I hear him. At first, I'm like, I know
that voice. It sounds familiar. I look over he's right
next to me with his kids, and it's like we're
all walking into church together, and I'm like, that's for
Chris Tomlin. This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 13 (48:16):
And I did not do the lunchbox like it's Chris Thomlin.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
You could have said hi, and you could have easily
said on Bobby's friend, I love Chris. I know Chris,
and I just looked at it. He texted me on
I'm such a jerk January twenty nineth and never responded.
It was at an hour where I was like in
the middle of this and I was like I'll get
back to it.
Speaker 10 (48:33):
Did he said, Hey, I just saw idiot.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
No, I need to send him movie. Yeah.
Speaker 13 (48:37):
That's a good question though, because now about that.
Speaker 10 (48:39):
That's what I was thinking. He's probably like, Man, I
was gonna say, I'm Bobby's friend, but.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Like, I'll pull it up. Hey, Mike, we pull up
his streams. Let's look at his stream numbers.
Speaker 10 (48:48):
I'll be honest, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (48:49):
I mean, my wife knows every Chris Tomlin song. Yeah,
well maybe not the new New, but she knows every song.
She was like, that's what we're saying.
Speaker 13 (48:55):
He's got big smashers.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
Yes, and not only that. We went to show Easter
last year. He has I mean, good good Father two
hundred twelve million.
Speaker 13 (49:06):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (49:07):
How great is our God one hundred twenty one million?
Our God one hundred and thirty six million. I mean
it's yeah, banger after banger.
Speaker 13 (49:14):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
I need a message him back. Man, I'm a jerk,
can tell.
Speaker 10 (49:18):
How do you guys know Christian artists?
Speaker 1 (49:21):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (49:21):
So, literally, where do you hear that music?
Speaker 1 (49:24):
I'm a great question.
Speaker 13 (49:24):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
So for me, I wouldn't know Chris Tomlin's music from
church because I went to a Southern Baptist church growing up,
and it was all old hymns. There was no contemporary music.
My wife did not. My wife went to a church
where there were a couple of artists see that we've had,
and she knew all their music.
Speaker 13 (49:46):
Oh you got Bear? Right? Is Bear one of them?
Speaker 7 (49:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (49:49):
Because Bear is part of Stephen Curtis Chapman, Steven Curtis Chapman.
Speaker 6 (49:54):
Yeah, what's Bear part of?
Speaker 1 (49:56):
Bear's part of bands?
Speaker 6 (49:57):
I need to breathe need.
Speaker 13 (49:58):
Need to breathe.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Can you guys hear scoop in my years or yeah?
Speaker 6 (50:00):
Yeah, when it's like this, you can hear me.
Speaker 1 (50:03):
That's I don't hear. Yeah, I know, but I need
a difference. Oh really, this is this is this is
tell the difference if you if you do them back
to back, Scuba, I can hear the difference. But I
think we're either going to have to check because I
don't know when you guys can hear him either you
have to whisper okay if you're just Scuba will be
like thirty eight seconds or don't forget to go to
(50:24):
do this commercial or stuff like that. As the show's
going on, and I'm like, we only have thirty eight
seconds and nobody else has heard him, And I'm like,
oh that was that wasn't so?
Speaker 13 (50:33):
How would he was like a hand signal?
Speaker 1 (50:36):
No, either, he'd have to talk in a different voice. Oh,
like a character that's funny, or we have Can we
change that filter even more?
Speaker 6 (50:46):
I think we Yeah, we can try. We can try
to adjust a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (50:48):
Because I don't know if anybody can hear you.
Speaker 6 (50:50):
I mean they can hear me now, yes, we hear that. Yeah,
so yes, but I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yeah, need to Breathe.
Speaker 13 (50:56):
Is Bear's band, Okay, that's not how you were talking
about your wife.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
No. Bear also is another project going out right.
Speaker 6 (51:02):
Yeah, something like Wilder Woods or something like that, I think.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
And they are a Christian band, but also they it's
hard to say it like this because they don't want
to be known it's not Christians. They also present secular
music and at times feel like they can be pigeonholed
where people won't give them a chance because they're like, well,
it's not Sunday, I'm not in the mood for Christian music.
And they're like, no, we like to just create positive music.
(51:28):
But we've had Zach Williams, who has a amazing So
I'm gonna ask your question a second lunch box, an
amazing story of not making it in music.
Speaker 13 (51:35):
Is he the one that did the song with Dolly?
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Yes? Like he didn't make it in music, Move back Home.
It was like, I'll just sing at church and like
be director of music at a small church. Was discovered
doing that now is massive Christian artists like try to
Like my wife learned Chris Tomlin, steemc Curtis Shadman in church,
I did not. I just know Rock of Ages, I
fly Away, all the old hymns my grandma. I grew
(51:58):
up in a Pentecostal church way early in life, so
I knew those songs, but I didn't know any of
the contemporary Christian stuff. Okay, but I would see like
Chris Tomlin selling out more stadiums than Garth around the
world like he would sell him and Stephen Carson. It would
saw a massive arenas. I did go and watch stuff
like Carmen, Like I went to a Carmen concert as
a kid. Karma was a Christian artist. I knew like
(52:20):
Jars of Clay, I knew Newsboys. That was kind of it.
When I didn't hear contemporary Christian music anymore. But I don't.
My answer is, I don't know. I didn't pursue it,
so I don't know the answer to it.
Speaker 10 (52:32):
Got it.
Speaker 1 (52:33):
My in laws listened to a lot of what's the brand,
the radio brand. It's like K Life or it's some
fish is Caleb.
Speaker 6 (52:44):
There's Air one. There's two of them, K Love and
Air Air whatever.
Speaker 1 (52:47):
I think KA Love is what I'm talking about, because
I think, now that's just simply a Christian brand to
my understandings. And so they listened to that, and then
on Sirius they'll listen to like, let me think of it,
it's called like the Feather or the or or something
like that. So I would hear some stuff through that.
But yeah, like you, I'm like, I.
Speaker 10 (53:06):
Have no idea how anybody ever found that stuff.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
My wife learned it in church. God is they had
contemporary music.
Speaker 13 (53:12):
I didn't know about Chris Tomins till they came in here.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
And I don't think you're going to hell, dude. I
think that's okay.
Speaker 13 (53:17):
Yeah, yeah, that's how I found out. But I mean, now,
if I hear a song, I'm like, oh yeah, that's
christomin well you know other Christian artists just by name.
Speaker 1 (53:23):
I don't really know their songs really, and so I
know them from knowing them as humans first and then
or like you know, I'd even try to save a
succeed at church and there'd be too many people there.
They play contemporary music there, but they're playing other people,
so I don't even who they're playing.
Speaker 13 (53:40):
What's crazy about churches nowadays is that like they a
lot of them try to write original songs too, like
church bands.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
Yeah, I don't know the difference.
Speaker 13 (53:48):
And then they start selling or that that whatever. Like
your church could have a streaming song on iHeart.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
Oh yeah, that's yeah, you know, and it's like, wow,
that's weird.
Speaker 13 (53:57):
That's my church, that's my church band.
Speaker 1 (53:59):
I just think either they're doing a cover of a
song I don't know from a big artist, or they
just wrote it like that morning.
Speaker 13 (54:06):
Yeah, so wait, your church.
Speaker 1 (54:08):
You don't sing the songs, No, they put the words
up on the stords up oh a big sight in
the background, and then.
Speaker 13 (54:13):
They'll tell you like, this is one we just wrote
and like that's crazy, and then in like six months
you hear it on the radio or something like that.
That's crazy. My church band has a song on the radio.
Speaker 1 (54:21):
How do you hear it on the radio? Do you
listen to K Love or whatever?
Speaker 15 (54:23):
No?
Speaker 13 (54:23):
No, my wife does sometimes.
Speaker 1 (54:26):
Yeah, and they'll go sing along. I'm like, never heard it.
I don't know the melody yet, but they do put
the words up there and uh.
Speaker 10 (54:31):
Yeah, because at the Catholic Church we just pulled out
the old hymn book and turned to number three sixty five. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
And I would like to say that I did come
to work on ash Wednesday, so you're welcome.
Speaker 1 (54:41):
You're not really practicing.
Speaker 13 (54:42):
Did you get your ashes?
Speaker 16 (54:44):
Not?
Speaker 13 (54:44):
That issue about to lie.
Speaker 1 (54:46):
It's about to say you can't lie about church. I
don't lie about church, man, I'm not a liar, right,
Last last number one, do guys still carry wallets? This
is from Eddie. Why would what's up with this question?
Speaker 13 (54:58):
I'm just starting to see more people now with like
credit cards on the back of their phones. And maybe
they're younger people doing that, but like it's weird that
people don't carry I thought everyone carried wallet.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
Do you have a wallet? I don't carry it in
my pocket, so I carry a purse or oh, women's
back how many excuse me, women's backpack. No, No, it could
be a kids if you want to do that, but
it's definitely not a one.
Speaker 13 (55:22):
That's not a woman's backpack.
Speaker 1 (55:24):
That's small, so it's small on purpose.
Speaker 10 (55:26):
When it's small like that, it's either a kid or woman.
I saw dudes don't carry that.
Speaker 1 (55:32):
I don't know why I consider his fashion advice at
all or be triggered by it, or Amy's for that matter.
But this is a dude's like it's basically like I
carry bags that. I could see people going, hey, what's
up with that purse? But it is a bag.
Speaker 13 (55:48):
There are those little prints on it whatever that makes
it look like a luxury bag. I don't know what
those prints are. But when you do see those prints,
I could see how some people think, like, oh, that
could that's a woman's bag.
Speaker 1 (55:59):
Thank you, I think Morgan, I don't remember your official
stance on my bag.
Speaker 12 (56:02):
Woman, Be honest, I have little backpacks.
Speaker 1 (56:07):
You also have a purse. I have a purse.
Speaker 12 (56:09):
I do they have a wallet?
Speaker 13 (56:12):
You have a wallet.
Speaker 6 (56:15):
I do have a wallet.
Speaker 13 (56:17):
It's on brand with the rest of me, sure, And
it's not one a woman's backpack or a kid's backpack.
It could be a man's backpack.
Speaker 12 (56:26):
I think it's a cool backpack.
Speaker 7 (56:29):
I do think it looks a little funny with you
carrying it, but I still think it's cool.
Speaker 1 (56:32):
But do you think it's funny when I have, for
lack of a better term, because I wear man bags?
Do you think that's funny? Had you not known me,
would you be like that dude? Why is he carrying
a purse?
Speaker 4 (56:42):
No?
Speaker 7 (56:42):
I mean because your purses aren't like a traditional purse.
They kind of look like a fanny pack looking thing.
Speaker 1 (56:47):
Yeah, like an over shoulder strap.
Speaker 7 (56:49):
Yeah, yeah, so I don't I never thought anything of
those I probably would think something of the backpack, though.
Speaker 13 (56:54):
I see more people now with those men purses. Yeah,
let's call them bags. Back I do see more people
with those bags.
Speaker 1 (57:02):
Wallet, I keep up My point is I keep my
wallet on my bag, not in your back pocket anymore. Okay.
I don't know if it's because I'm old, but or
if we're just getting smarter about our bodies. If I've
met my wallet and I sit on it hurts my
back after like fifteen twenty minutes because you're just sitting
uneven the whole time. So I haven't kept my wallet
in my pocket in five years.
Speaker 13 (57:20):
That's fine crazy, That is pretty crazy. Yeah, Like I
don't even feel it. I don't think about it. It's
in my back pocket, but I don't feel it.
Speaker 1 (57:25):
I wonder think about how much more you probably woudn't
been injured all those times if you'd Oh my god,
I'd had full balance in oh.
Speaker 13 (57:30):
Broken foot, broken arm?
Speaker 10 (57:32):
Hey eddie ever thought going on money clip? I wanted
to go money clips so bad.
Speaker 13 (57:35):
See my dad was money clip, which is just weird.
Speaker 10 (57:38):
Gosh, it looks so cool.
Speaker 1 (57:39):
I feel like with a money clip, I would I
would be somewhere and be like, oh, I don't have
an insurance card. Like my fear is not having the
things that I keep in my wallet, or an air tag.
I keep my wallet in case I lose my wallet
or don't know where it is. Money clip, I can't
find it. If I lose it, it's just gone.
Speaker 13 (57:53):
But the way they do money clips now is they
have a little bit for the cash and then another clip.
Speaker 16 (57:58):
For the car.
Speaker 13 (57:58):
It's all together.
Speaker 1 (57:59):
Where's maritime?
Speaker 13 (58:00):
I go, Yeah, that's tricky. They're tag. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (58:03):
I just think. I mean when someone pulls out a
money clip.
Speaker 1 (58:06):
I'm like, baller, that's but it needs money, and that's baller.
So if someone pulls on money clip and it's two
ones and a driver's.
Speaker 10 (58:13):
License, yeah, I usually people money.
Speaker 1 (58:16):
If they pull up two ones and a driver's license,
are you thinking that's baller?
Speaker 10 (58:19):
Still pretty cool? I mean just that the unclipping that like,
the just separating of the money clip looks awesome.
Speaker 13 (58:26):
Well, and then more people now aren't even carrying cash, which.
Speaker 10 (58:29):
Is but if you have a money clip, you gotta
have some cash because it looks weird if you just
pull it out and there's just cards.
Speaker 16 (58:35):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
I see a lot of people with just cards in
a clip or on the back of their phone. What
are gonna say, Morgan, I saw your mouth ready to
people that do it on.
Speaker 7 (58:41):
The back of the phone after watching Zero, Dad, I
would like to have cash.
Speaker 12 (58:44):
I would like to have cash at my house. I'll
tell you that much.
Speaker 13 (58:47):
Okay.
Speaker 12 (58:48):
Now, I'm like, I'm paranoid and I feel like we
should all have cash.
Speaker 10 (58:51):
I think it's crazy people to put it on the
back of their phone because you lose one thing, you
lose everything. Like, at least if you lose your phone,
usually it's like, Okay, I lost my phone, but may there.
Speaker 7 (58:58):
Are most people though, like I mean most guys of
my friends, they have it all on their phone, and
there's also ones that are attached that can be card
and a money.
Speaker 12 (59:07):
Clip on the back of her.
Speaker 1 (59:08):
I would argue it's the opposite of what you're saying, Lunchbox,
because if you lose your phone with your money in it,
you can go to your laptop and find your phone
by doing find my Therefore, nothing is lost.
Speaker 12 (59:17):
And in that case you want to need your it's the.
Speaker 13 (59:19):
Best Buy man, what like, everything's that best Buy?
Speaker 10 (59:25):
Yeah, because you lost it, someone's already got your money,
your your credit card.
Speaker 1 (59:28):
A lot before they steal it. They literally drive the
Best Buy to use it. Yeah, that's funny because I
would just think they would get online and buy stuff
online immediately if they steal your car, lunch Box, Got'm
getting in a car driving the Best Buy loading them
up in the trunk. All right, We're done. Hey, thank
