1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Get your hands together, and we're gonna stop and pot

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: in start.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: I'm ready to party, the Elvis Duran After Party.

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 3: my friend Cilia's in here. Listen to what she did

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 3: and see if you agree with how she handled it.

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 3: Go ahead and tell your story.

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 4: Okay.

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 5: The other day when I was home in New Orleans,

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 5: it was like eleven am, and I went to get

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 5: breakfast and I got back to my car and I

12
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 5: got in as if nothing happened. But I was with

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 5: my friend, and so my friend was like, Celia, Celia,

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 5: you need.

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: To get out of the car. You need to get

16
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 4: out of your car.

17
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 5: Look at the back of your car, and so like

18
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 5: the trunk window was completely smashed. And New Orleans is

19
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 5: like pretty notorious for getting cars broken into, but it's

20
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 5: never happened to me.

21
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 4: And I didn't really know what to do.

22
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 5: So I just started knocking on doors and I was like, hey,

23
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 5: did you see anyone to like hear like a smash

24
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 5: or something like I gotta find the person, Like I'm

25
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 5: not paying for this and I can't drive my car.

26
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 5: So in the end, I did some like detective work.

27
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 5: I stood around there for like two hours in this

28
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 5: dangerous neighborhood. Yeah, And they ended up pointing me to

29
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 5: the landscaper. So I found him and he I literally

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 5: I like pinned him. I cornered him, and I was like,

31
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 5: did you do this? Because everyone's telling me that you did,

32
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 5: and you you're always around this neighborhood, so I believe it.

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 5: And he was like, all right, fine, like I did it.

34
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 5: And I was like, yeah, I'm guessing it was an accident.

35
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: No, no, not New Orleans. Did he take anything from

36
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 3: your car?

37
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 5: No, I don't keep anything in there. There was like

38
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 5: a towel in the trunk or something, and so he threw.

39
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: Broke in to look in there to see if there's

40
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: anything worth taking.

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, like my console was open and stuff. But I

42
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 5: don't keep anything worthy in my car because I'm always

43
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 5: scared of that. So I went up to him and

44
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: once he admitted it, I said, all right, this is

45
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 5: how we're going to do it. You're gonna give me

46
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 5: I'm going to call the glass guy. I'm going to

47
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 5: get an estimate. You're gonna give me that amount of

48
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 5: money either through insurance or right now, like zell me,

49
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 5: I'm banned from Venmo, so you can only zell me

50
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 5: of course.

51
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and wait a minute, that's a.

52
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 5: So then I was just we ended up actually like talking,

54
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 5: like really just chatting, and he was like, listen, like

55
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 5: I lost my mom when I was fourteen, and I'm

56
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: like a mentor.

57
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: To these kids, and I was like a terrible and

58
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god.

59
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 5: You know what, like I need to like give it back,

60
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 5: like give back, you know. And so I was like, okay,

61
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 5: you still got to pay for it, but like I

62
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 5: forgive you and I won't call the police. And then

63
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 5: I was like also, you know, he was like I

64
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 5: want I'm I'm I'm doing this because I want to

65
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 5: see my mom eventually, like I guess in heaven.

66
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he's working in the cars because he

67
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: wants to die.

68
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 5: No, Like he was giving me the money because like

69
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 5: he was like, I'm only doing this because I want

70
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 5: to go see my mom in heaven. He was like,

71
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 5: I'm not really a good person, but yeah. So then

72
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 5: I ended up talking him for a little while and

73
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 5: I was like, listen, if you keep surrounding yourself with

74
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: these bad people or like you know, if you do

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 5: these things like this, breaking into people's cars and running

76
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: away and going on with your day. You're not going

77
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: to meet your mom again. So you got to get

78
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 5: it back together. And I'm here.

79
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: Okay, hold on, So Celia, you told the man that

80
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: bashed the window in your car to rob you. Essentially,

81
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: if he pays you the money and he's nice to people,

82
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: he will see his mother in heaven. Yes, and he

83
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: could be by the way. This is a New Orleans

84
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: story through and through. I mean, I know.

85
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: We hugged it out. We hugged it out.

86
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: As a sucker. I have so question? Yes, godhi, what

87
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: some questions?

88
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: Okay?

89
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: So now when you say they ended up pointing me

90
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: to the landscape or who is they?

91
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: Oh, a bunch of neighbors all rally together.

92
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: So they all saw him do it. And he was

93
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: still on somebody's property somewhere.

94
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: He was like a block or two.

95
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: Man who was a criminal broke into your car.

96
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: And he had the weed whacker too, get a weed whacker? Yeah,

97
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: you cornered him? Yeah?

98
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 6: Are you?

99
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: Was he hot?

100
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 5: No?

101
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 4: I actually have a picture of his license. I can

102
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: show y'all after No.

103
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's okay, a picture of him.

104
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 6: Okay.

105
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: So the conversation here is forgiveness.

106
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I gave him a hug and I was like,

107
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 5: don't do anything bad again. Just keep going around and give, give,

108
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 5: be generous, don't take.

109
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 4: And then he was like, yeah, and see.

110
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: I'm the only one in this room that sees the

111
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 3: logic behind where she's coming from.

112
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: Logic went out the door when she approached a criminal

113
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: and cornered him.

114
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: There's a lot, neighbor.

115
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: I see her heart and how you want to do

116
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: these wonderful things, and I think that's fantastic. I think

117
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: you need to be careful because you're gonna get yourself killed.

118
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: And I also think he was telling you a bs stories.

119
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 3: Probably, And I also love how Celia is guarding the

120
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: gate at heaven. It's really hurt. It's her decision. Go ahead,

121
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: you know.

122
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: It makes me a little bit nervous that he gave

123
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: you the money and was like, the only reason I'm

124
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: doing this is because I want to see my mom

125
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: in heaven. Like I my life would have flashed before

126
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: my eyes like three times. Like this guy wants to

127
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: kill me, but also he wants to get to heaven,

128
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: so he's.

129
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: Not like no, no, to see organized religion, and this

130
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 3: guy slipped like grease and he just got caught. So

131
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: he figured, think fast, think fast, think fast. And he

132
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: just told you this entire lie. And he's like, I'll

133
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: will to manipulate her emotions, and that's exactly.

134
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: What he did.

135
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it worked, and in the end, my.

136
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: My car got fixed. He gave me cash, and it

137
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: got costs three hundred and.

138
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: Fifty two dollars and he gave me three fifty so

139
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 5: it only cost me two dollars to get it fixed.

140
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 5: But I had to drive home with my windows smash

141
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 5: and all of the glass was like falling through it

142
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 5: lying at me.

143
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: There's the inconvenience of having to get it fixed and

144
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 3: the whole thing. So yeah, I don't know. So forgiveness.

145
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 3: You know, there have been times in this room where

146
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: someone will do me wrong or the show wrong, and

147
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: I will I will go, okay, no big deal, let's

148
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: move on, and you guys will get mad at me

149
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: absolutely for being okay, let's move on. I don't want to.

150
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 3: I don't want to sit here and harbor that negative energy.

151
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I understand moving on, and I understand like, Okay, I'm

152
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: gonna forgive you. I just don't get the forgetting thing.

153
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: Never forget, no way. And then also because I don't forget,

154
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: then it makes it harder to forgive because every time

155
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: I remember, I'm like.

156
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: You mother, m I'll harbor that negative energy for you will, Yes,

157
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: you will.

158
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: You're plenty for everyone. So you guys think silly's out

159
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 3: of her mind?

Speaker 6: heard in your life that something similar happens where you

163
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,440

Speaker 5: I got hacked and somebody sent themselves seventeen hundred dollars

172
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 5: on my account. Before I was I was on a

173
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: flight to Europe, so it was quite literally the worst

174
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 5: situation ever. So I disputed it and they were like, Okay,

175
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: now you need to prove that it's your account.

00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 5: so retake it.

179
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 4: You have one more chance. Retook it. They said, that's

180
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: not you. Your account is done forever.

181
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,720

00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm seeing a pattern here with Celia.

185
00:07:59,480 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 5: Are you? Guys?

186
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: You are sort of a magnet for interesting stuff.

187
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.

188
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: I bet. I bet you could go for hours about

189
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: all the crazy crap that's happened to you because it's

190
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: you and it can't be explained. You're just a magnet

191
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: for that.

192
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what all my friends say. They're like, anytime

193
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,360

194
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 5: like that, nobody else because that's just how it goes.
