1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What dumbs? 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Would you help? Would you allow the help from this person? 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: Or would you slap this person? Is the question? Let 4 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: her out? 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're on a five hour flight. 6 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 3: And so this woman named Erica, she was on a 7 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 3: five hour flight and there was a woman that was 8 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 3: sitting next to her who had a baby who was 9 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 3: about one years old or so. And for about an hour, 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 3: the baby was fussy crying. The mom looked tired and overwhelmed. 11 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 3: So she's like, you know what, I'm gonna help this 12 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 3: mom out. So she asked her, would you like me 13 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 3: to hold your child? You can get up, go to 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 3: the bathroom, take a minute for yourself. And the mom 15 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 3: went off on her saying no, no good mom wouldever 16 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 3: let a stranger hold their baby. So she's like, okay, 17 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 3: I guess that wasn't my place. Let's go to the 18 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 3: new mom. 19 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 4: I think this is so interesting because I thought about 20 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 4: something similar to this earlier this week. For me, personally, 21 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 4: I would not generally hand off my baby to just 22 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 4: anybody to hold them. So I do understand where that 23 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 4: mom was coming from. But I will also say I 24 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 4: just saw a video earlier this week and it was 25 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 4: somebody who went on vacation with their infant in Japan, 26 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 4: and there's something just different about the culture there around 27 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 4: babies and elderly And it's really really interesting because she 28 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 4: had a bunch of videos and clips where she was 29 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 4: showing people who work at restaurants, people who work at 30 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 4: businesses just. 31 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 5: In awe over her baby and they were. 32 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 4: Like wanting to for real, they were like taking pictures 33 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 4: of her creating around. 34 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 35 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 4: So she'd be eating at a restaurant and the people 36 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 4: that work there would be like, can we please hold 37 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 4: your baby and show them around the restaurant and then 38 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 4: they'd like hold the baby and then tour it around 39 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 4: the kitchen and like show it the refrigerator and the 40 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 4: stove and it was cute. 41 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 5: It was really really endearing. It wasn't weird. 42 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 4: It sounds weird talking about it, because you'd never I 43 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 4: don't think around here do that hand or raby off 44 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 4: to someone. 45 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 5: But there it was a little bit more just part. 46 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 2: Of the culture and and carry them around too. 47 00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 5: Let me give you a tour. 48 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: How do you want your stay? Well, they might I'm 49 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: moving there man. 50 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 5: Also they might offering the elderly like extra snacks. 51 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 4: I don't know, And I just think it's kind of 52 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 4: nice to think that there is a place where you 53 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 4: can be comfortable doing that. But man, around here, I 54 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 4: don't know, you can't. It was not part of my 55 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 4: culture to just hand my baby off. I do not 56 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 4: trust the world, So I do understand where this mom 57 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 4: is coming from. But do know that there are places 58 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 4: where you apparently can be comfortable doing that. 59 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: Can I say? 60 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I think she was in the heat of the moment, 61 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: the mom I don't necessarily think that she may necessarily 62 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: be deemed a rude human being. I think she was 63 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: in the moment, kids screaming airplane Eustachian tubes and the ears, 64 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: you know, and they start closing up on little kids 65 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: up in the float and they things get uncomfortable, and 66 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: you know it does for adults too. I mean, not 67 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: that they're screaming the whole trip, but she's probably in 68 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: the moment a little lashing out, and just she kind 69 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: of took it out on this anonymous person. 70 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 5: So yeah, I do. 71 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 4: I do feel like, right she could have definitely packaged 72 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 4: up a little bit more nicely said. 73 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: Get a run out the door in the parachute with 74 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: the kid. The other thing I've seen movies. 75 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, everything happens in a movie, but generally where 76 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 4: is the person gonna go with your baby if you're 77 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 4: on an airplane? 78 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: And some stuff that you see in real life is 79 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: from like the movies. This whole Nancy Guthrie thing, this 80 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: is like a movie and it's just crazy. Yeah, the 81 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: capacity of people to do nasty things very true. Keep 82 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: her in your prayers, man, the whole family. All right, Well, 83 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: if you want to jump in on that, talk back 84 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app and let it ris h. 85 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 5: Would you hand your baby to a stranger? 86 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: And I put it up on the Chris Carr and 87 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: Company Facebook page so if you're shy, you can answer 88 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: it there talk back. 89 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: Hi. 90 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 6: My name is Christina. I was solo traveling with a 91 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 6: four month old when the gall across the aisle offered 92 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 6: to hold my baby while I got situated, and I 93 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 6: very much appreciated that. So she held my babe and 94 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 6: I got buckled and I took my baby back and 95 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 6: a grandma a couple asles back, said I would like 96 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 6: an opportunity to hold the baby. So essentially, my four 97 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 6: month old got passed around a plane. But there was 98 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 6: really nowhere that they can take her because we're on 99 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 6: a plane, so I wasn't too concerned about it. 100 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 4: I love she's a jealous, she's just rust She even 101 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: sounds in jealous so motherly.

It's not like 111 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 7: she can run anywhere with her like taper or anything 112 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 7: on a plane, and it would just really be based 113 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 7: on the vibes I get. 114 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I totally get that.

Let's get back to talk back. 130 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 8: It sounds like the mom was probably overstimulated when asked this, 131 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 8: because you're maternal instincts kick any You don't know whether 132 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 8: or not to trust this person. But if the person 133 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 8: to me didn't raise any red flags, then I wanted 134 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 8: to step away and walk to the back of a 135 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 8: plane for a minute. I mean, I would let them 136 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 8: as long as they didn't again, we raise any red flags. 137 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 8: Otherwise I want to. 138 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 4: Care see And I kind of got that point and 139 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 4: kind of agreed. If you're on a plane, it's fine, 140 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: because yes, where can somebody go. But then Chris, you 141 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 4: pointed out you do get kind of crazy people who 142 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 4: don't necessarily need to physically go anywhere to do something 143 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 4: harmful to your kid. And unfortunately, right and it's sad, 144 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 4: like I wish that we lived in a society and 145 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 4: had a culture where you could safely just hand your 146 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 4: child to somebody and it's a beautiful moment. 147 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: And do that when they're teenagers and they pissy off, 148 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: then you then you really want to hand them over. 149 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 5: But there are places in the world where you got. 150 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, like Japan, you just mentioned that, Yeah, yeah, that 151 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: culture sounds awesome over there, now. 152 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 5: It does.
