Speaker 1 (00:00):
The story of Emily and what she's doing, and I
think it's really cool. I really like it.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
She just goes by Emily Emily. That's all I know
her as.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Okay, that's all I know her as I'm looking to
see if they have her name, and I believe it's
just Emily. Here's what I can tell you. Emily is
terminally ill. Right, don't let that be a downer like
it is. I understand that, like on the surface, it
is okay. So anyway, Emily is thirty two.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
She was diagnosed with cancer when she was twenty seven
years old, and they said that she literally went from
being healthy and feeling good and everything was great and then.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Something's wrong, didn't feel right.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
She goes in to see a doctor, and not exactly overnight,
but within a very short amount of time, they discover
that she's got a she lives in Australia, that she's
got a tumor about the size of a small baseball,
and they're like, holy f So anyway, they start doing
some they start doing some research, and they start doing
(01:09):
some work and they try to figure it out and
it looks as though they believe doing some treatment and
seeing what's working and stuff. She's got about nine months
to live. That's when she was twenty seven, right, So anyway,
they're like, this is horrible, you've got nine months to live.
They start doing everything under the sun that they can.
There's an organization in Australia which is the here we go,
(01:34):
the Australian Cancer Research Fund, and they use money.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
They get money to be able to try things to
see what would work.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So anyway, through the AcrF, they're able to find out
that there may be a treatment that's available in the
US which isn't available in Australia. And I can't remember
what it's called, but it's almost like a almost like
a good neighbor policy where they're like, okay, let her
come over and try it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Or like one of those compassionate exemptions.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, something like that. I think that that. I think
that is what they're called. But yeah, so she gets
she gets this permission to come over to the US
and and try the try the treatment right lo and
behold it works. Oh she's still alive. She's not cured,
but she's still alive. She went from having nine months too,
she's now thirty two. Yeah, it's like foreign change foreign change,
(02:36):
So needless to say, she's ecstatic now she's still terminally.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
She's not cured.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
No no, no, no, no no. And how much time
is left. They have no clue. It could be and
I mean this is the doctors. It could it could
all go downhill real rapidly. It could fend off maybe
you maybe you get the same amount of time. Nobody
knows how much time, including Emily, has no idea how
(03:05):
much time she has left.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So she has good days and she has bad days.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, yeah, I mean like everybody, well not, I mean, yes,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Anyway, how is your bad day?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Is it terminal?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Imbe? I don't know if my washing machine anyway?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
No, no, But what I meant is yes, that there
are there are health good days and then just mental
health good days and stuff like that. So anyway, that's
that's what you need to know about Emily. So Emily
now in order to help raise funds for the AcrF
has kind of joined up with them and is doing
(03:47):
I don't want to call it like it's not and
they actually go out of their way to say it's
not performance art at all.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But here's what happens.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
She'll go to on the weekend, she'll go to like
a like an area of a farmer's market. Like she's
not sitting in between somebody selling candles and somebody selling mushrooms,
but like in an area where there's going to be
a crowd of people. And it's called three minutes with
three minutes with Emily, and you make a donation and
(04:18):
you sit and you watch a brief video. Right, So
you sit there and you watch a brief video about Emily. Okay,
so you know her best, yeah, And it is a
brief amount that kind of leads up to the.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Diet.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So you can a couple pictures of.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Her childhood whatever leading up to her diagnosis, right, and
then there is the what has happened since she was diagnosed.
She got married, she's had her birthday, like stuff like
that where you just see a little bit just to show, hey,
AcrF was able to send me to America under this
(04:58):
compassionate care thing to be able to get some treatment.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It is worked.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It could end tomorrow, but it is work now. That's
what AcrF does. And then a counter comes up on
the So you watch this very brief video and then
a counter comes up on the screen and Emily comes
and sits down next to you, and it ticks for
(05:22):
three minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay, what do you what do you get? What do
you do? Whatever you want?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
For those three minutes, you could talk to her.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You can't, they said. And it runs the gamut. Some
people sit and cry. Some people talk to her. And
they said, by the way, she's not a downer, like
she'll she'll talk to you, she'll answer questions.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Some people will just sit and reflect.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Some people just say a couple of words to her,
and then they sit there quietly and then like, your
three minutes is up, and then you kind of leave
the air. You're done right, go on, But they'll wait
for other people to come out to see like what
they went through during that.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And they said that honestly, some people will go.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Like, okay, so how much time do you really have
and she'll go, honestly, I have no clue. And then
some people will go, so, you you may have no
time essentially, and you're spending it here talking to strangers,
and she's like, yeah, or you may have five more
years and you're still you're on time.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Your time is a little more limited than mine.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, we assume, And she's like yeah, it's like I
don't do it every day of the week. And then
the last questions like when cancer guy calls, like you
want to know, like, oh my god, how are you
how are you spending your time? And people are a
little bit shocked that you're essentially renting out time and
the end of her life.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And like I said, though, it's I love it to
benefit the fun's.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Gone to fit the fund and raise money for AcrF,
which is very selfless.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Obviously, my first thought was it's got to be exhausting
on her because one, you don't know what you're getting
in terms of like what's the person going to do?
Is this person going to sit there and cry for
three minutes and I'm witnessed to that. Are they going
to start asking me questions? And you know what I mean,
I would.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Hope that they are appropriate.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well, yeah, yeah, I'm not saying inappropriate questions.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Or gratitude or silence or tears. It's all intense, yeah,
or at least I feel as if it were to be,
and if it were not anymore, she shouldn't be doing it.
I would assume over time it gets less intense for.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Her because she's I mean, it gets pounded into her
head every day what she's facing. And yeah, I mean
she knows. I mean short of a time she could
have left.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
By the way, she already feels like she.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Won the lottery because she's made it almost five years.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, she was like, I was supposed to be dead
in nine months, so I've already hit the lottery. So
she's probably not happy.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
But yeah, no, she probably is. I would be thrilled.
Do they have an idea? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But but what I was going to say is, at
some point she probably grows not that she's not compassionate,
but you you probably grow a little immune from people crying.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I think you do. I get what you're saying, but
I wouldn't be able to. And also, how how much
separation is there from that video to the sit down?
I think the video fades and then timer comes up.
I composed myself for three minutes. I've been there, but.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
No, no, no, But in the video, oh wait after
the three minutes until you have to leave.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, Gore, your time's up. But I think he's asked
any questions. I cry all the time. Okay, well, what
do you want me to do? Ask me another ticket?
Do most people know what this setup is or is
anybody coming to that farmer's market. They're not familiar with
the story at all. They see this opportunity and they
(09:07):
just purchase the experience or make the donation and then
have the experience. I don't know the answer to that.
I don't know the answer.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I mean, there's that blind not having any idea.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I think you would have. I think most people probably do.
I mean they may know a little bit, but you
don't know what you're getting.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But we've all been there where you cannot stop crying. Yeah,
and you said it points out and they probably do
this on purpose. A lot of it is just very
self reflecting, but that there is a a section of
the mini documentary that talks about the very positive, happier
things that have happened since the diagnosis.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
She had her thirtieth birthday, she got married, but it's
still tears, still tears of joy, like I wouldn't be able.
And then and you said that three the way, if
I'm Emily, you're perfect, I don't even have to talk
to you with.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That timer is pretty apparent, like it's not hidden.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Okay, So if you take this TV right, no, no,
I'm being serious, take this TV and then put a
three and a zero and a zero, and it'll just
take its way down like you can't miss it.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Right then I'd get upset about the time ticking away. Well,
you better start figuring out on their clock are lives well,
but you know that's so that's the other thing that
it does.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
They said, in addition to people sitting there with this
disbelief of like this is potentially the end of your life,
people look at it as their own and go the
clock is not that they're terminally ill. They may not
be ill at all. But they said, people walk out
(10:46):
of there and go, my life is taken away. I'm
not doing I'm not doing what makes me happy. I'm
I'm doing something that I'm unhappy with, Like it's a
big reflection on their own life, even though it doesn't.
It's not them being terminally ill. But you walk out
of there and you go, this chick just watched three
(11:07):
minutes of her life. By the way, I was the
ninth one in line, so I'm thirty minutes. This chick's
thirty minutes into dying. I sat there for three minutes.
I'm not dying, but my life is ticking by and
what am I doing? That's pretty powerful?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Are they especially for somebody who doesn't like Again, they're
not sick.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Right, Are they tracking? Or are people? I mean they're
making a lot of money sending updates to this project
or to the cancer fun to tell them how, oh
you know, watch them for the better? I don't know
the answer to that. I would I mean, I would
assume so. Oh it would be so intense. Oh, I
think it's great. I love everything about it. Oh, I'm
(11:49):
not criticizing the project at all. I just I like
I When we've talked in the past about performance Hart
and the Marina Abrolovitch always comes up where people would
just sit across from her to a table and stare
at her and there was no communication.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
What was the performance art one where we wanted to
go up and give that woman hickeys on her body?
There was that too, right, Remember that she was naked
and Tyler and I were going to go up and
give her hickey Well, she wanted them.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
It wasn't like that. That was her bit.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Oh remember the two people that had to stand naked
at the doorway.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That one led to some problems.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It did, Yeah, but that was that was another one
we were going to do. There was some with period
blood that was yeah, yeah, I remember that. Anyway, this
one's a little different.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
But they're all their own.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And again they're saying, please don't call this performance intensity.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah I wouldn't. This is to me it maybe could
be as profound performance art could be as profound and
leads you to alter the direction of your life, right
like the Hickey Lady. But no one's life and all
those other examples was coming to an end. Correct, Well, well,
I mean everybody's like, I mean, it's not you would
(12:57):
not want me to do this. Remember how I was
after seeing Annie and Ley Miz.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I can't go to this. I really like this. I
think I would. If I'm being honest, I think I'd
have to go through twice.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Because one would just be sort of speechless, and the
other one you'd be like, okay, now I got to talk.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
No. I think it would be so many questions. I
think it would be the opposite.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I think the first one I would talk to her
non stop. I think that I would not be able to.
I don't think I have to go back because I
have to talk more. But I would have to talk
to her. I think the second time I went through
is where I would want to be re reflecting on myself. Like,
(13:46):
I don't think I would be like that.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
In the first one, because you would need her to.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, I would need to be I need to be
in that moment to be reflective. Because if that were
the case, you would never have to go see her.
You just go sit at and just be reflective. And
nobody's doing that.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, but it can be the first no that triggers
it enough to go back.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Now the first three minutes, I would I would have
to talk to her.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
What do you think you would say?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I don't know. I have no idea. We're like, hey,
need no cancer guy, But I mean that's him. No,
I'm being serious.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I love talking to him. How old again, she's in
her early thirties.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
She's thirty two now, she was diagnosed to twenty seven young.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
God, yes, very young. Wow, it's but I would have
to talk to her.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And by the way, if when you sit with it
for a little bit, it keeps getting worse.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
What do you mean, like if you if you if you.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Sit with this story for a little bit and start
running through in your mind, what the experience would be
like or how you think it would be obviously you
don't know, but what you think it would be like,
it gets, it gets more more and more and more intense.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, we've talked about that before, questioning each other on
the times that we've stepped back from what we've just
done and been like, wow, I just wasted that time
in my life. Yeah, I don't like to look at
things like that. I know you've not liked it when
we've played that game. I don't. I don't like to
(15:24):
play that. How much is the donation? You know what?
I don't know. I don't know that there. I don't
know that there is a dollar donation. Oh, it's at
whatever you feel comfortable giving. I don't remember seeing anything
in here.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
By the way, Well, never mind, that's kind of everybody
who's like that. I was gonna say, I don't like
that open ended window of like, I have no idea
how much longer I have. But I feel like that's
everybody who's terminal.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I'm on the website for the Cancer Fund for people
to know what it's like to run out of time,
they have to feel what it's like to run out
of time.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
So that's the big three minute clock ticking down in
front of them.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, I see that. Oh you know what questions? She
excuse me? What question? She says? She gets a lot
is it too late?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
What do you mean? Is it too like? Is it
too late for me?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Like she talks about there was somebody that came to
visit her, somebody who is like late fifties, early sixties,
and like sat quietly through most of it and at
the end turned around it was like is it too late?
But thinking it was very self reflective of like have
I have I crapped my life so badly?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
It's too late for me? I feel like her answer
would be.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
No, yeah, right, well, I mean, yeah, she's thirty two,
but she's getting this question from somebody in their.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Fifties exactly, Yeah, So what are you supposed to tell me?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Sure, she would say, of course, it's not too late.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Right, but maybe it is, like you don't know, Like
that's what I would tell them. I don't know, is
it too late for what?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You know?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I didn't get a whole lot of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But she's not a doctor. I know she's not a doctor.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I know, but I'm sure she's probably she doesn't have
to give like hard and fast medical advice to still give.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah. But if the person is asking is it too
late for me, what are you going to say?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Always say no, you could. You could be dead next week.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
And it's if you want to make a change in
your life, you still have seven days of change.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'd rather not make the change.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I'd rather not go through the shakesh No, but isn't
it good? Doesn't it also creep into your head if
you were dying?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Would you do this? What I staged? This sort of yeah,
show show is definitely not the right word there, this experience.
I don't have the uh. It's not a matter like
could you be that selfless? Courage your bravery, and it's not.
I am quite selfless. You're the most selfless of us.
(17:57):
All I was going to say this screams of me,
But I just I couldn't. I I'd feel like I
was wasting other people's time. I just couln't it through it.
There's nothing to get through. Yes, that interaction for three minutes,
answering some questions. They all bring me to I couldn't
(18:18):
do it. I know you said that she's maybe grown immune.
Seems harsh. But that she's used to it by now
a little bit. But I she.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Probably knows ninety nine percent of the questions before they're
even asked.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
At this point, I would not ever get to that point.
You could ask me the same thing every session. I
think you would. It would hit me hard, I think
you would.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And again, I've I've watched I've watched five hundred people crying.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Okay, like I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Just sit there and like, all right, here's another cry,
the cry?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
What are you crying for? I'm dying, You're lucky, you're
sitting there?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Are you done? You gotta night and a half?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Oh. For some I wonder if it actually doesn't go quickly,
It does seem like a lifetime because you're just so
overcome by the the moment actually grows metaphorically grows larger.
Of course, isn't it a great bit? Don't call it that?
I called it the well, what do you want me
(19:24):
to call it? A bit? Sounds fake? Yeah, no it's not.
It's not a fake bit.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
No, but.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It's a good bit. This world of Win, Battle of
the Bits, Toby still get COVID. I haven't heard from
Megan in a while. Could you imagine that was our
We got a terminally ill candy.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So we stage these phone calls called second Date Update.
Oh I have this girl named Emily. She's terminal, but
I just sit her outside for three minutes. People make donations.
Well what do you got?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Well the winner is second Date up day. That's funny,
damn it. Sorry, Emily. The donations help determine the molecular
structure of proteins in seconds for new cancer drug development. Yeah,
but second Date Update, Yeah, Mine, I'm paying for the date.
Oh if I hate you? Oh? Got her with a zing?
(20:21):
Where am I going? Lying to? Hi? Elliott in the morning?
Hey Elliott, Hey, who's that?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
I'm just calling because oh sorry, my name's Jen, And
I'm calling because she is so right. You have to
live your life now. I unfortunately lost with my parents right,
and I watched my mom just kind of wither away
in life and save and save and not doing anything.
And when she passed there's so much she hadn't done.
(20:51):
So I'm I'm doing it now. Like I turned fifty
a couple of years ago, I've gone to Mount Kildandaro
and hiked that. I've gone onto Costa Rica and save
baby Sea turtles In October, I'm going to Nepal to
height Mount Everest. You have to live for today as
tomorrow is absolutely not promised.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Like now, now, listen, I don't want to get all heavy,
like heavy, hearty and everything. I'd rather do second date
update the uh no no, but you know, but and listen,
I applaud you.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I think that's awesome. I think that's great.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And as you say that, I sit there and go, huh,
I wonder why my dad's death didn't have that impact
on me. Now all of that being said, though, is
that what is the part of me that goes like
everybody in this room has lost a parent, right at
least one is why is what is it in my
head that goes, well, yeah, but I just can't and
(21:49):
forget work and scheduling and time. Right, But what is
it that prevents me from going?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
She's one hundred percent right. I've said forever. I want
to go on a cruise, I want to go to this,
I want to see Mount Everest. Why don't I go?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Right? Well, but it's not. But it's not.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Because it's not because it's like, well, I could die
tomorrow and I'll never see it.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
But I don't know why, why? Why? What is it?
And why why do you do it? And I don't
You just said what because of work?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
No, no, I'm saying I don't want to use that
as an excuse me because the truth is no. But
the truth is is reality.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
No, But the truth is I could take a week off,
but you won't. That's not no, I won't. I can.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I won't. I can take a week off and go
to Everest. I don't know if you can do it
in a week. But you understand my point. The you know, no, the.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I can, I won't. But that's then then we may
as well do where the roses you're talking about? This
is fake the no, it's not, yes, because it's not
Diane every time.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You but if it were that the idea, if it
were that important to me, I would.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's not important to you. The show is important to you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The show is more important to me than cruise, Yes,
both going on one and the one that sits out there.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That's nice.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
No, and but and it is more important to me
than going to Mount Everest.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yes, yes, that is the true. Okay, so now maybe
so maybe that is the reason. Yeah, all right, isn't that.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Important to me?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, well that's the problem. You don't the the you
don't like your job.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
No, so I have no problem. Everest is going to
take me three weeks.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Three weeks, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Never he needed it to be a three year weekend,
three day weekend, and we're broadcasting one of those times.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
No, but you know what, all right, very good, very good.
Thank you, ma'am, thank you, thank you. But no, but
I'm glad. I'm glad it impacted you that I really am.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I think that's great.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
You never have had that conversation with myself with Jackie
where it's like, oh, oh.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Definitely not okay, well which conversation.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
No, but I'm just saying like if you're if you're
hemming and hauling over over something that a purchase that
some might say is frivolous or something, and it's like, well,
you know, like Scott will say, like both of our
dads never never like had the opportunity to really like
enjoy retirement. Scott's dad worked and was was dead like
two weeks later, and my dad still worked when he
(24:33):
was retired, so you know, all he wanted was a
was a pickup truck. He never went out and bought
himself a pickup truck. It's like you're working your whole
life to just to just save safe safe, safe safe
and be a miser. No, don't do that. Enjoy it, Okay,
but don't.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
No no, no, no no no, don't say being a mode.
There's nothing wrong with like I don't need to go
out and buy a pickup truck.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
No.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
But I'm just saying, like I always think of that.
It's like it's sad to me that my dad never did.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
That, right, Yeah, but he didn't care.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
I knew that he wanted to do it, and he
never did it. Well, I want to do a lot
of things.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I just said I.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Would have gone a cruise, but you won't. But I'm
just saying I'd rather work, Frank would rather work, right, yeah, yeah,
And what does he have to show for it now? Nothing,
because he's been dead forever, you know what I mean,
Like it's it's it's it's like they always they always
for you. Exactly, but okay, exactly, that's my But we
would have been fine as a family if he bought
(25:26):
a pickup truck, you know what I mean, Like they
always say on your Nobody says on their deathbed, I
wish I would have worked more except you. Yes, absolutely,
you remember that three day weekend that was stupid?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Hold on before you unplugged, before you have to get out.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I regret. No, I mean I get that, I get that.
But maybe I just don't have any of those things,
or I'm just too goddamn cheap. I don't think it's either.
I think you're passionate about this. Yeah, and this is
what you want to be doing. It's like when we
(26:04):
do have Christmas break and fourth of July break, all
you think about is being back in here.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Right, so this is where you want to be.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yes, most of the time, almost a lot of the time,
almost all the time. Yeah, Like I was going over
holiday schedule with Jackie didn't make her happy.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
So what we have like the twenty fourth and the
twenty fifth off?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
No, first of all, that's rude. This is not the time.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
First of all, that's accurate.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Do know it's not. No, it's not Do not upset
her now.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
You know, I look at Christmas far down the road
to see how much we are going to have to
work leading up until Christmas.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Oh, then you already know what the schedule is. You
already know.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I have an idea, but I don't know, which is
why we can't book a trip to go away anywhere.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yes, you can. You have plenty of time. When are
we coming back Elliott, Elliott, I'll tell you what's your
what's your guest, Diane?
Speaker 5 (27:04):
We will be back on Thursday, the second. We have
to work on Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
That's one hundred accurate.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
No, no, due? Did you think anything else?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Because a lot of schools don't go back until the sixth, right,
but when do a lot of schools go back the second?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Thank you the School of Elliott, like every county d C.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
The friday before. No, you're not off on that Friday,
the twenty seventh.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
The Oh, you'll be off on the twenty seventh, right, yeah,
off the week of Christmas?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah. It has a good long stretch, bro. And you'll
come back in saying I was sick of this break
three days into it. Oh, that's true.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And then I'll come back saying how many days till
Memorial Day, which is when we will get our next
little break.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
See and listen.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I hope that everybody now sees the value of Emily,
because listen to how petty this is. Emily's dying and
Diane's complaining that.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
That coming back, just sat back on the second.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Complaining about her livelihood. Oh and not having to pick
up truck. Boooo, Elliot, Ellie, that's no her, not Frank.
I was Frank would have gutten to pickup trum a man.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I didn't want it. He did and never got it right.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
No, but he should have. He should have. You should
you should get it for him
The story of Emily and what she's doing, and I
think it's really cool. I really like it.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
She just goes by Emily Emily. That's all I know
her as.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Okay, that's all I know her as I'm looking to
see if they have her name, and I believe it's
just Emily. Here's what I can tell you. Emily is
terminally ill. Right, don't let that be a downer like
it is. I understand that, like on the surface, it
is okay. So anyway, Emily is thirty two.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
She was diagnosed with cancer when she was twenty seven
years old, and they said that she literally went from
being healthy and feeling good and everything was great and then.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Something's wrong, didn't feel right.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
She goes in to see a doctor, and not exactly overnight,
but within a very short amount of time, they discover
that she's got a she lives in Australia, that she's
got a tumor about the size of a small baseball,
and they're like, holy f So anyway, they start doing
some they start doing some research, and they start doing
(01:09):
some work and they try to figure it out and
it looks as though they believe doing some treatment and
seeing what's working and stuff. She's got about nine months
to live. That's when she was twenty seven, right, So anyway,
they're like, this is horrible, you've got nine months to live.
They start doing everything under the sun that they can.
There's an organization in Australia which is the here we go,
(01:34):
the Australian Cancer Research Fund, and they use money.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
They get money to be able to try things to
see what would work.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
So anyway, through the AcrF, they're able to find out
that there may be a treatment that's available in the
US which isn't available in Australia. And I can't remember
what it's called, but it's almost like a almost like
a good neighbor policy where they're like, okay, let her
come over and try it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Or like one of those compassionate exemptions.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, something like that. I think that that. I think
that is what they're called. But yeah, so she gets
she gets this permission to come over to the US
and and try the try the treatment right lo and
behold it works. Oh she's still alive. She's not cured,
but she's still alive. She went from having nine months too,
she's now thirty two. Yeah, it's like foreign change foreign change,
(02:36):
So needless to say, she's ecstatic now she's still terminally.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
She's not cured.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
No no, no, no, no no. And how much time
is left. They have no clue. It could be and
I mean this is the doctors. It could it could
all go downhill real rapidly. It could fend off maybe
you maybe you get the same amount of time. Nobody
knows how much time, including Emily, has no idea how
(03:05):
much time she has left.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
So she has good days and she has bad days.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, yeah, I mean like everybody, well not, I mean, yes,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Anyway, how is your bad day?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Is it terminal?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Imbe? I don't know if my washing machine anyway?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
No, no, But what I meant is yes, that there
are there are health good days and then just mental
health good days and stuff like that. So anyway, that's
that's what you need to know about Emily. So Emily
now in order to help raise funds for the AcrF
has kind of joined up with them and is doing
(03:47):
I don't want to call it like it's not and
they actually go out of their way to say it's
not performance art at all.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But here's what happens.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
She'll go to on the weekend, she'll go to like
a like an area of a farmer's market. Like she's
not sitting in between somebody selling candles and somebody selling mushrooms,
but like in an area where there's going to be
a crowd of people. And it's called three minutes with
three minutes with Emily, and you make a donation and
(04:18):
you sit and you watch a brief video. Right, So
you sit there and you watch a brief video about Emily. Okay,
so you know her best, yeah, And it is a
brief amount that kind of leads up to the.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Diet.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So you can a couple pictures of.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Her childhood whatever leading up to her diagnosis, right, and
then there is the what has happened since she was diagnosed.
She got married, she's had her birthday, like stuff like
that where you just see a little bit just to show, hey,
AcrF was able to send me to America under this
(04:58):
compassionate care thing to be able to get some treatment.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It is worked.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It could end tomorrow, but it is work now. That's
what AcrF does. And then a counter comes up on
the So you watch this very brief video and then
a counter comes up on the screen and Emily comes
and sits down next to you, and it ticks for
(05:22):
three minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay, what do you what do you get? What do
you do? Whatever you want?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
For those three minutes, you could talk to her.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You can't, they said. And it runs the gamut. Some
people sit and cry. Some people talk to her. And
they said, by the way, she's not a downer, like
she'll she'll talk to you, she'll answer questions.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Some people will just sit and reflect.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Some people just say a couple of words to her,
and then they sit there quietly and then like, your
three minutes is up, and then you kind of leave
the air. You're done right, go on, But they'll wait
for other people to come out to see like what
they went through during that.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And they said that honestly, some people will go.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Like, okay, so how much time do you really have
and she'll go, honestly, I have no clue. And then
some people will go, so, you you may have no
time essentially, and you're spending it here talking to strangers,
and she's like, yeah, or you may have five more
years and you're still you're on time.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Your time is a little more limited than mine.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, we assume, And she's like yeah, it's like I
don't do it every day of the week. And then
the last questions like when cancer guy calls, like you
want to know, like, oh my god, how are you
how are you spending your time? And people are a
little bit shocked that you're essentially renting out time and
the end of her life.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And like I said, though, it's I love it to
benefit the fun's.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Gone to fit the fund and raise money for AcrF,
which is very selfless.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Obviously, my first thought was it's got to be exhausting
on her because one, you don't know what you're getting
in terms of like what's the person going to do?
Is this person going to sit there and cry for
three minutes and I'm witnessed to that. Are they going
to start asking me questions? And you know what I mean,
I would.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Hope that they are appropriate.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well, yeah, yeah, I'm not saying inappropriate questions.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Or gratitude or silence or tears. It's all intense, yeah,
or at least I feel as if it were to be,
and if it were not anymore, she shouldn't be doing it.
I would assume over time it gets less intense for.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Her because she's I mean, it gets pounded into her
head every day what she's facing. And yeah, I mean
she knows. I mean short of a time she could
have left.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
By the way, she already feels like she.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Won the lottery because she's made it almost five years.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, she was like, I was supposed to be dead
in nine months, so I've already hit the lottery. So
she's probably not happy.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
But yeah, no, she probably is. I would be thrilled.
Do they have an idea? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But but what I was going to say is, at
some point she probably grows not that she's not compassionate,
but you you probably grow a little immune from people crying.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I think you do. I get what you're saying, but
I wouldn't be able to. And also, how how much
separation is there from that video to the sit down?
I think the video fades and then timer comes up.
I composed myself for three minutes. I've been there, but.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
No, no, no, But in the video, oh wait after
the three minutes until you have to leave.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, Gore, your time's up. But I think he's asked
any questions. I cry all the time. Okay, well, what
do you want me to do? Ask me another ticket?
Do most people know what this setup is or is
anybody coming to that farmer's market. They're not familiar with
the story at all. They see this opportunity and they
(09:07):
just purchase the experience or make the donation and then
have the experience. I don't know the answer to that.
I don't know the answer.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I mean, there's that blind not having any idea.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I think you would have. I think most people probably do.
I mean they may know a little bit, but you
don't know what you're getting.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But we've all been there where you cannot stop crying. Yeah,
and you said it points out and they probably do
this on purpose. A lot of it is just very
self reflecting, but that there is a a section of
the mini documentary that talks about the very positive, happier
things that have happened since the diagnosis.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
She had her thirtieth birthday, she got married, but it's
still tears, still tears of joy, like I wouldn't be able.
And then and you said that three the way, if
I'm Emily, you're perfect, I don't even have to talk
to you with.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That timer is pretty apparent, like it's not hidden.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Okay, So if you take this TV right, no, no,
I'm being serious, take this TV and then put a
three and a zero and a zero, and it'll just
take its way down like you can't miss it.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Right then I'd get upset about the time ticking away. Well,
you better start figuring out on their clock are lives well,
but you know that's so that's the other thing that
it does.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
They said, in addition to people sitting there with this
disbelief of like this is potentially the end of your life,
people look at it as their own and go the
clock is not that they're terminally ill. They may not
be ill at all. But they said, people walk out
(10:46):
of there and go, my life is taken away. I'm
not doing I'm not doing what makes me happy. I'm
I'm doing something that I'm unhappy with, Like it's a
big reflection on their own life, even though it doesn't.
It's not them being terminally ill. But you walk out
of there and you go, this chick just watched three
(11:07):
minutes of her life. By the way, I was the
ninth one in line, so I'm thirty minutes. This chick's
thirty minutes into dying. I sat there for three minutes.
I'm not dying, but my life is ticking by and
what am I doing? That's pretty powerful?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Are they especially for somebody who doesn't like Again, they're
not sick.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Right, Are they tracking? Or are people? I mean they're
making a lot of money sending updates to this project
or to the cancer fun to tell them how, oh
you know, watch them for the better? I don't know
the answer to that. I would I mean, I would
assume so. Oh it would be so intense. Oh, I
think it's great. I love everything about it. Oh, I'm
(11:49):
not criticizing the project at all. I just I like
I When we've talked in the past about performance Hart
and the Marina Abrolovitch always comes up where people would
just sit across from her to a table and stare
at her and there was no communication.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
What was the performance art one where we wanted to
go up and give that woman hickeys on her body?
There was that too, right, Remember that she was naked
and Tyler and I were going to go up and
give her hickey Well, she wanted them.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
It wasn't like that. That was her bit.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Oh remember the two people that had to stand naked
at the doorway.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
That one led to some problems.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It did, Yeah, but that was that was another one
we were going to do. There was some with period
blood that was yeah, yeah, I remember that. Anyway, this
one's a little different.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
But they're all their own.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And again they're saying, please don't call this performance intensity.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Yeah I wouldn't. This is to me it maybe could
be as profound performance art could be as profound and
leads you to alter the direction of your life, right
like the Hickey Lady. But no one's life and all
those other examples was coming to an end. Correct, Well, well,
I mean everybody's like, I mean, it's not you would
(12:57):
not want me to do this. Remember how I was
after seeing Annie and Ley Miz.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I can't go to this. I really like this. I
think I would. If I'm being honest, I think I'd
have to go through twice.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Because one would just be sort of speechless, and the
other one you'd be like, okay, now I got to talk.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
No. I think it would be so many questions. I
think it would be the opposite.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I think the first one I would talk to her
non stop. I think that I would not be able to.
I don't think I have to go back because I
have to talk more. But I would have to talk
to her. I think the second time I went through
is where I would want to be re reflecting on myself. Like,
(13:46):
I don't think I would be like that.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
In the first one, because you would need her to.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, I would need to be I need to be
in that moment to be reflective. Because if that were
the case, you would never have to go see her.
You just go sit at and just be reflective. And
nobody's doing that.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, but it can be the first no that triggers
it enough to go back.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Now the first three minutes, I would I would have
to talk to her.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
What do you think you would say?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I don't know. I have no idea. We're like, hey,
need no cancer guy, But I mean that's him. No,
I'm being serious.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I love talking to him. How old again, she's in
her early thirties.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
She's thirty two now, she was diagnosed to twenty seven young.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
God, yes, very young. Wow, it's but I would have
to talk to her.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And by the way, if when you sit with it
for a little bit, it keeps getting worse.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
What do you mean, like if you if you if you.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Sit with this story for a little bit and start
running through in your mind, what the experience would be
like or how you think it would be obviously you
don't know, but what you think it would be like,
it gets, it gets more more and more and more intense.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, we've talked about that before, questioning each other on
the times that we've stepped back from what we've just
done and been like, wow, I just wasted that time
in my life. Yeah, I don't like to look at
things like that. I know you've not liked it when
we've played that game. I don't. I don't like to
(15:24):
play that. How much is the donation? You know what?
I don't know. I don't know that there. I don't
know that there is a dollar donation. Oh, it's at
whatever you feel comfortable giving. I don't remember seeing anything
in here.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
By the way, Well, never mind, that's kind of everybody
who's like that. I was gonna say, I don't like
that open ended window of like, I have no idea
how much longer I have. But I feel like that's
everybody who's terminal.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I'm on the website for the Cancer Fund for people
to know what it's like to run out of time,
they have to feel what it's like to run out
of time.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
So that's the big three minute clock ticking down in
front of them.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, I see that. Oh you know what questions? She
excuse me? What question? She says? She gets a lot
is it too late?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
What do you mean? Is it too like? Is it
too late for me?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Like she talks about there was somebody that came to
visit her, somebody who is like late fifties, early sixties,
and like sat quietly through most of it and at
the end turned around it was like is it too late?
But thinking it was very self reflective of like have
I have I crapped my life so badly?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
It's too late for me? I feel like her answer
would be.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
No, yeah, right, well, I mean, yeah, she's thirty two,
but she's getting this question from somebody in their.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Fifties exactly, Yeah, So what are you supposed to tell me?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Sure, she would say, of course, it's not too late.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Right, but maybe it is, like you don't know, Like
that's what I would tell them. I don't know, is
it too late for what?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You know?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I didn't get a whole lot of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
But she's not a doctor. I know she's not a doctor.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I know, but I'm sure she's probably she doesn't have
to give like hard and fast medical advice to still give.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah. But if the person is asking is it too
late for me, what are you going to say?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Always say no, you could. You could be dead next week.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
And it's if you want to make a change in
your life, you still have seven days of change.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'd rather not make the change.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I'd rather not go through the shakesh No, but isn't
it good? Doesn't it also creep into your head if
you were dying?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Would you do this? What I staged? This sort of yeah,
show show is definitely not the right word there, this experience.
I don't have the uh. It's not a matter like
could you be that selfless? Courage your bravery, and it's not.
I am quite selfless. You're the most selfless of us.
(17:57):
All I was going to say this screams of me,
But I just I couldn't. I I'd feel like I
was wasting other people's time. I just couln't it through it.
There's nothing to get through. Yes, that interaction for three minutes,
answering some questions. They all bring me to I couldn't
(18:18):
do it. I know you said that she's maybe grown immune.
Seems harsh. But that she's used to it by now
a little bit. But I she.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Probably knows ninety nine percent of the questions before they're
even asked.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
At this point, I would not ever get to that point.
You could ask me the same thing every session. I
think you would. It would hit me hard, I think
you would.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And again, I've I've watched I've watched five hundred people crying.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Okay, like I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Just sit there and like, all right, here's another cry,
the cry?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
What are you crying for? I'm dying, You're lucky, you're
sitting there?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Are you done? You gotta night and a half?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Oh. For some I wonder if it actually doesn't go quickly,
It does seem like a lifetime because you're just so
overcome by the the moment actually grows metaphorically grows larger.
Of course, isn't it a great bit? Don't call it that?
I called it the well, what do you want me
(19:24):
to call it? A bit? Sounds fake? Yeah, no it's not.
It's not a fake bit.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
No, but.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It's a good bit. This world of Win, Battle of
the Bits, Toby still get COVID. I haven't heard from
Megan in a while. Could you imagine that was our
We got a terminally ill candy.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So we stage these phone calls called second Date Update.
Oh I have this girl named Emily. She's terminal, but
I just sit her outside for three minutes. People make donations.
Well what do you got?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Well the winner is second Date up day. That's funny,
damn it. Sorry, Emily. The donations help determine the molecular
structure of proteins in seconds for new cancer drug development. Yeah,
but second Date Update, Yeah, Mine, I'm paying for the date.
Oh if I hate you? Oh? Got her with a zing?
(20:21):
Where am I going? Lying to? Hi? Elliott in the morning?
Hey Elliott, Hey, who's that?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
I'm just calling because oh sorry, my name's Jen, And
I'm calling because she is so right. You have to
live your life now. I unfortunately lost with my parents right,
and I watched my mom just kind of wither away
in life and save and save and not doing anything.
And when she passed there's so much she hadn't done.
(20:51):
So I'm I'm doing it now. Like I turned fifty
a couple of years ago, I've gone to Mount Kildandaro
and hiked that. I've gone onto Costa Rica and save
baby Sea turtles In October, I'm going to Nepal to
height Mount Everest. You have to live for today as
tomorrow is absolutely not promised.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Like now, now, listen, I don't want to get all heavy,
like heavy, hearty and everything. I'd rather do second date
update the uh no no, but you know, but and listen,
I applaud you.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
I think that's awesome. I think that's great.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
And as you say that, I sit there and go, huh,
I wonder why my dad's death didn't have that impact
on me. Now all of that being said, though, is
that what is the part of me that goes like
everybody in this room has lost a parent, right at
least one is why is what is it in my
head that goes, well, yeah, but I just can't and
(21:49):
forget work and scheduling and time. Right, But what is
it that prevents me from going?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
She's one hundred percent right. I've said forever. I want
to go on a cruise, I want to go to this,
I want to see Mount Everest. Why don't I go?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Right? Well, but it's not. But it's not.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Because it's not because it's like, well, I could die
tomorrow and I'll never see it.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
But I don't know why, why? Why? What is it?
And why why do you do it? And I don't
You just said what because of work?
Speaker 4 (22:25):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
No, no, I'm saying I don't want to use that
as an excuse me because the truth is no. But
the truth is is reality.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
No, But the truth is I could take a week off,
but you won't. That's not no, I won't. I can.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I won't. I can take a week off and go
to Everest. I don't know if you can do it
in a week. But you understand my point. The you know, no, the.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
I can, I won't. But that's then then we may
as well do where the roses you're talking about? This
is fake the no, it's not, yes, because it's not
Diane every time.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
You but if it were that the idea, if it
were that important to me, I would.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It's not important to you. The show is important to you.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The show is more important to me than cruise, Yes,
both going on one and the one that sits out there.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
That's nice.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
No, and but and it is more important to me
than going to Mount Everest.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yes, yes, that is the true. Okay, so now maybe
so maybe that is the reason. Yeah, all right, isn't that.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Important to me?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, well that's the problem. You don't the the you
don't like your job.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
No, so I have no problem. Everest is going to
take me three weeks.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Three weeks, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Never he needed it to be a three year weekend,
three day weekend, and we're broadcasting one of those times.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
No, but you know what, all right, very good, very good.
Thank you, ma'am, thank you, thank you. But no, but
I'm glad. I'm glad it impacted you that I really am.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I think that's great.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
You never have had that conversation with myself with Jackie
where it's like, oh, oh.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Definitely not okay, well which conversation.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
No, but I'm just saying like if you're if you're
hemming and hauling over over something that a purchase that
some might say is frivolous or something, and it's like, well,
you know, like Scott will say, like both of our
dads never never like had the opportunity to really like
enjoy retirement. Scott's dad worked and was was dead like
two weeks later, and my dad still worked when he
(24:33):
was retired, so you know, all he wanted was a
was a pickup truck. He never went out and bought
himself a pickup truck. It's like you're working your whole
life to just to just save safe safe, safe safe
and be a miser. No, don't do that. Enjoy it, Okay,
but don't.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
No no, no, no no no, don't say being a mode.
There's nothing wrong with like I don't need to go
out and buy a pickup truck.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
No.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
But I'm just saying, like I always think of that.
It's like it's sad to me that my dad never did.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
That, right, Yeah, but he didn't care.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
I knew that he wanted to do it, and he
never did it. Well, I want to do a lot
of things.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I just said I.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Would have gone a cruise, but you won't. But I'm
just saying I'd rather work, Frank would rather work, right, yeah, yeah,
And what does he have to show for it now? Nothing,
because he's been dead forever, you know what I mean,
Like it's it's it's it's like they always they always
for you. Exactly, but okay, exactly, that's my But we
would have been fine as a family if he bought
(25:26):
a pickup truck, you know what I mean, Like they
always say on your Nobody says on their deathbed, I
wish I would have worked more except you. Yes, absolutely,
you remember that three day weekend that was stupid?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Hold on before you unplugged, before you have to get out.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I regret. No, I mean I get that, I get that.
But maybe I just don't have any of those things,
or I'm just too goddamn cheap. I don't think it's either.
I think you're passionate about this. Yeah, and this is
what you want to be doing. It's like when we
(26:04):
do have Christmas break and fourth of July break, all
you think about is being back in here.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Right, so this is where you want to be.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yes, most of the time, almost a lot of the time,
almost all the time. Yeah, Like I was going over
holiday schedule with Jackie didn't make her happy.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
So what we have like the twenty fourth and the
twenty fifth off?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
No, first of all, that's rude. This is not the time.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
First of all, that's accurate.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Do know it's not. No, it's not Do not upset
her now.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
You know, I look at Christmas far down the road
to see how much we are going to have to
work leading up until Christmas.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Oh, then you already know what the schedule is. You
already know.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I have an idea, but I don't know, which is
why we can't book a trip to go away anywhere.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yes, you can. You have plenty of time. When are
we coming back Elliott, Elliott, I'll tell you what's your
what's your guest, Diane?
Speaker 5 (27:04):
We will be back on Thursday, the second. We have
to work on Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
That's one hundred accurate.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
No, no, due? Did you think anything else?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Because a lot of schools don't go back until the sixth, right,
but when do a lot of schools go back the second?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Thank you the School of Elliott, like every county d C.
Speaker 2 (27:23):

come back in saying I was sick of this break
three days into it. Oh, that's true.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And then I'll come back saying how many days till
Memorial Day, which is when we will get our next
little break.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
See and listen.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
I hope that everybody now sees the value of Emily,
because listen to how petty this is. Emily's dying and
Diane's complaining that.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
That coming back, just sat back on the second.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Complaining about her livelihood. Oh and not having to pick
up truck. Boooo, Elliot, Ellie, that's no her, not Frank.
