WEBVTT - Missing Limb 

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.740
<v Speaker 1>Was it tree-related? Yeah, that would be my question. What

0:00:04.780 --> 0:00:05.399
<v Speaker 1>was he doing?

0:00:06.059 --> 0:00:08.700
<v Speaker 2>I know, I don't want to be offensive, but I actually,

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 2>was he using the equipment?

0:00:11.220 --> 0:00:14.220
<v Speaker 1>He was picking up, like, huge pieces of it with

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>one arm.

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:20.140
<v Speaker 3>He worked, to the tree guys, and I don't know

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:22.380
<v Speaker 3>the guy that's the owner of the place, because Chris

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.420
<v Speaker 3>dealt with him and Chelsea dealt with him, but to

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.010
<v Speaker 3>the guy that owns the company, this guy busted his ass.

0:00:27.510 --> 0:00:28.790
<v Speaker 1>His one-armed ass.

0:00:28.890 --> 0:00:29.230
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:00:29.330 --> 0:00:32.460
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he was, it was amazing how hard he worked.

0:00:32.659 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 4>I think people with missing limbs would prefer you to

0:00:37.580 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 4>ask as opposed to you staring. Because I think more

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 4>people stare as a, just come up and ask me

0:00:42.300 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 4>what's going on.

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.790
<v Speaker 5>My mom has a little hand, we call it. She

0:00:45.830 --> 0:00:47.809
<v Speaker 5>has like- A strong hand.

0:00:47.830 --> 0:00:48.570
<v Speaker 2>She has three fingers.

0:00:48.890 --> 0:00:49.550
<v Speaker 5>Two fingers.

0:00:49.570 --> 0:00:50.390
<v Speaker 2>Two fingers, yeah.

0:00:50.409 --> 0:00:52.750
<v Speaker 5>On one arm, and it's a little shorter. Pretty much

0:00:52.850 --> 0:00:55.430
<v Speaker 5>no one ever says anything except for kids because kids

0:00:55.470 --> 0:00:58.310
<v Speaker 5>like stare at it and then they'll finally ask. But

0:00:58.870 --> 0:01:00.950
<v Speaker 5>never has an adult ever asked her.

0:01:00.970 --> 0:01:03.830
<v Speaker 2>I always have taught Lucy and Smith to ask just

0:01:03.870 --> 0:01:06.190
<v Speaker 2>because we have we do we as a show do

0:01:06.250 --> 0:01:09.670
<v Speaker 2>so much work with children, especially with disabilities. And now

0:01:09.709 --> 0:01:12.350
<v Speaker 2>my niece is, you know, blind and in a wheelchair

0:01:12.450 --> 0:01:15.990
<v Speaker 2>and cannot walk or talk. And my shout out Navy

0:01:16.050 --> 0:01:18.130
<v Speaker 2>and my sister always says it's so much better when

0:01:18.170 --> 0:01:20.750
<v Speaker 2>people just come up and talk to me versus just.

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.420
<v Speaker 2>looking at us, you know? So I think it's all

0:01:24.459 --> 0:01:25.589
<v Speaker 2>about how you say it.

0:01:26.060 --> 0:01:30.060
<v Speaker 1>So how you ask. So you say, Hey, so, uh,

0:01:30.980 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>what happened? The tree guy. I would have to ask.

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.980
<v Speaker 1>You would? I would have to.

0:01:37.060 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 2>See in that situation, I wouldn't ask.

0:01:40.260 --> 0:01:41.339
<v Speaker 1>Really? No, I don't know.

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.300
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be curious enough to ask, but I.

0:01:44.260 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 4>Would have to know if it like to Anna's point,

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 4>if it happened during a tree chopping situation.

0:01:48.670 --> 0:01:51.050
<v Speaker 3>I would assume if you did it during a tree thing,

0:01:51.110 --> 0:01:54.350
<v Speaker 3>you're not doing it anymore. Like you're, I don't know.

0:01:54.470 --> 0:01:57.310
<v Speaker 1>You've made insurance money and you're out of there. What's up, Nick.

0:01:57.330 --> 0:01:57.870
<v Speaker 1>How you doing?

0:01:57.890 --> 0:02:02.910
<v Speaker 6>Hey, so I I've been in sales for a long time.

0:02:02.930 --> 0:02:06.250
<v Speaker 6>I I'm missing a few fingers. And when people say

0:02:06.370 --> 0:02:10.169
<v Speaker 6>that it makes it very uneasy because you don't want

0:02:10.190 --> 0:02:11.310
<v Speaker 6>to share that story.

0:02:12.150 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 3>So it's kind of a, if they.

0:02:15.340 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 6>Are missing something, which happens, You are more apt to

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 6>talk about it, but if you're not, it's disrespectful.

0:02:24.380 --> 0:02:29.570
<v Speaker 1>Nick, no offense, but how are you missing fingers? What happened?

0:02:31.389 --> 0:02:33.510
<v Speaker 6>Fireworks. Oh, boy.

0:02:33.570 --> 0:02:34.570
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my gosh.

0:02:34.630 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Man, that's a right there public service announcement for anybody

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:39.380
<v Speaker 3>that plays with them.

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.440

<v Speaker 4>You know, like, welders, they have, like, them big, thick gloves.

<v Speaker 5>It was just a faulty firework.

0:03:21.980 --> 0:03:23.140

<v Speaker 7>Hey, so I just wanted to call in about, like,

0:03:28.590 --> 0:03:32.370
<v Speaker 7>finding the right tree trimmers. It seems that every year

0:03:32.410 --> 0:03:36.370
<v Speaker 7>around Mother's Day, we get the same like crazy group

0:03:36.410 --> 0:03:39.150
<v Speaker 7>of people who want to come over and try and

0:03:39.250 --> 0:03:42.310
<v Speaker 7>chop down this tree or do this to your house.

0:03:42.590 --> 0:03:45.810

<v Speaker 7>here we are having like 30 people over our house.

0:03:50.970 --> 0:03:52.770

<v Speaker 1>I have adults. I've seen other people with one arm

0:05:36.820 --> 0:05:38.790
<v Speaker 1>come up to me. I've gone up to people with

0:05:38.890 --> 0:05:42.410
<v Speaker 1>one arm, you know. Super random question. I've never thought

0:05:42.450 --> 0:05:43.029
<v Speaker 1>it is before.

0:05:43.050 --> 0:05:44.370

0:05:44.390 --> 0:05:46.410
<v Speaker 4>that crazy. Do you pin, because you see some people,

0:05:46.470 --> 0:05:49.190
<v Speaker 4>they pin their shirts up. Do you pin yours up

0:05:49.270 --> 0:05:49.950
<v Speaker 4>or do you?

0:05:50.710 --> 0:05:53.690
<v Speaker 1>I wear short sleeves or tuck it in my pants.

0:05:55.040 --> 0:06:00.299
<v Speaker 1>Does it ever get you dates? I'm married.

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 6>I've been married for 34 years.

0:06:03.540 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 4>What was the hardest thing to adjust to do from

0:06:06.540 --> 0:06:07.820
<v Speaker 4>going from two arms to one?

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 5>Writing.

0:06:09.060 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 6>Writing.

0:06:10.830 --> 0:06:11.990
<v Speaker 1>You lost the arm you wrote with?

0:06:12.230 --> 0:06:13.250
<v Speaker 5>Your dominant one?

0:06:14.070 --> 0:06:14.409
<v Speaker 6>Yes.

0:06:15.490 --> 0:06:17.770
<v Speaker 1>Is there any benefit of having one arm?

0:06:20.420 --> 0:06:23.219
<v Speaker 2>I can do just as much as you can with two.

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.460
<v Speaker 3>Does it ever get you a table early at a restaurant?

0:06:26.500 --> 0:06:28.900
<v Speaker 3>Do they ever seat you right away?

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.580
<v Speaker 1>It gets me on flights the first.

0:06:31.100 --> 0:06:32.180
<v Speaker 6>Nice.

0:06:33.860 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Would you ever?

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Come on.

0:06:36.580 --> 0:06:39.420
<v Speaker 1>I want to know things that I never thought of before.

0:06:41.190 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I know where this is going. I'm not, because I.

0:06:44.300 --> 0:06:46.779
<v Speaker 4>Don't know how to ask you. I'm literally not trying

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.480
<v Speaker 4>to be funny. Like, I'm not trying to be funny, though.

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 4>Because you can't clap. How do you, do you snap?

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:54.540
<v Speaker 4>Or how do you clap?

0:06:54.880 --> 0:07:00.110
<v Speaker 1>I clap with my stump. Oh, your stump. So where's

0:07:00.130 --> 0:07:01.290
<v Speaker 1>the arm cut off at?

0:07:02.730 --> 0:07:03.690
<v Speaker 5>Half of the biceps.

0:07:04.529 --> 0:07:07.110
<v Speaker 1>Okay, gotcha. Here's a better question than how do you clap.

0:07:07.900 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 1>How do you wipe? Is it hard to wipe?

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.490
<v Speaker 2>Your other hand.

0:07:12.450 --> 0:07:13.510
<v Speaker 1>With your left hand.

0:07:14.110 --> 0:07:15.010
<v Speaker 5>With the other hand.

0:07:16.470 --> 0:07:18.390
<v Speaker 1>Okay. I think I'm good.

0:07:20.130 --> 0:07:23.410
<v Speaker 3>Well, Ken, thank you for letting us ask questions. We

0:07:23.430 --> 0:07:26.890
<v Speaker 3>appreciate it. Yeah, thank you, man. Appreciate you so much.

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Shout out to one-armed Ken. Charles, what's up, Charles?

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.530
<v Speaker 1>Hey, good morning, Mojo. Good morning. The poor guy with the.

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.860
<v Speaker 6>The poor guy with the firework fingers Tells you it's

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 6>disrespectful To ask people how they lost a limb If

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.900
<v Speaker 6>you yourself haven't lost one In your immediate following.

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.500
<v Speaker 2>I know Well then we were all curious I.

0:07:49.420 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Know So It was just incredibly tone deaf I realize

0:07:53.420 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys get caught up in the moment.

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.300
<v Speaker 3>But that was It was I know But let me

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.040
<v Speaker 3>ask you I'm a journalist Did you not want to know?

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean everybody wanted to know But I think his

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.390
<v Speaker 1>His His respect I probably wouldn't have asked Okay He

0:08:07.410 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 1>seemed like he was okay, though. I don't think he

0:08:08.980 --> 0:08:12.730
<v Speaker 1>seemed upset. Yeah, he was okay for having something.
