<v Speaker 3>Go ahead and tell your story.

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 5>The other day when I was home in New Orleans,

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 5>it was like eleven am, and I went to get

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 5>breakfast and I got back to my car and I

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 5>got in as if nothing happened. But I was with

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 5>my friend, and so my friend was like, Celia, Celia,

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:38.360
<v Speaker 5>you need.

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 4>To get out of the car. You need to get

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 4>out of your car.

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 5>Look at the back of your car, and so like

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 5>the trunk window was completely smashed. And New Orleans is

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 5>like pretty notorious for getting cars broken into, but it's

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 5>never happened to me.

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 4>And I didn't really know what to do.

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 5>So I just started knocking on doors and I was like, hey,

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 5>did you see anyone to like hear like a smash

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 5>or something like I gotta find the person, Like I'm

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 5>not paying for this and I can't drive my car.

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.199
<v Speaker 5>So in the end, I did some like detective work.

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 5>I stood around there for like two hours in this

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 5>dangerous neighborhood. Yeah, And they ended up pointing me to

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 5>the landscaper. So I found him and he I literally

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 5>I like pinned him. I cornered him, and I was like,

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.119
<v Speaker 5>did you do this? Because everyone's telling me that you did,

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 5>and you you're always around this neighborhood, so I believe it.

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 5>And he was like, all right, fine, like I did it.

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, yeah, I'm guessing it was an accident.

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 3>No, no, not New Orleans. Did he take anything from

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:39.559
<v Speaker 3>your car?

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 5>No, I don't keep anything in there. There was like

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.639
<v Speaker 5>a towel in the trunk or something, and so he threw.

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Broke in to look in there to see if there's

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 3>anything worth taking.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like my console was open and stuff. But I

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 5>don't keep anything worthy in my car because I'm always

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 5>scared of that. So I went up to him and

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 5>once he admitted it, I said, all right, this is

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 5>how we're going to do it. You're gonna give me

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to call the glass guy. I'm going to

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 5>get an estimate. You're gonna give me that amount of

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 5>money either through insurance or right now, like zell me,

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm banned from Venmo, so you can only zell me

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 5>of course.

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and wait a minute, that's a.

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead.

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 5>So then I was just we ended up actually like talking,

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 5>like really just chatting, and he was like, listen, like

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 5>I lost my mom when I was fourteen, and I'm

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 5>like a mentor.

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 4>To these kids, and I was like a terrible and

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.239
<v Speaker 4>I was like, oh my god.

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 5>You know what, like I need to like give it back,

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 5>like give back, you know. And so I was like, okay,

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 5>you still got to pay for it, but like I

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 5>forgive you and I won't call the police. And then

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 5>I was like also, you know, he was like I

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:52.799
<v Speaker 5>want I'm I'm I'm doing this because I want to

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 5>see my mom eventually, like I guess in heaven.

0:02:55.760 --> 0:03:00.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, he's working in the cars because he

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>wants to die.

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 5>No, Like he was giving me the money because like

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 5>he was like, I'm only doing this because I want

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 5>to go see my mom in heaven. He was like,

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm not really a good person, but yeah. So then

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 5>I ended up talking him for a little while and

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 5>I was like, listen, if you keep surrounding yourself with

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 5>these bad people or like you know, if you do

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 5>these things like this, breaking into people's cars and running

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 5>away and going on with your day. You're not going

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 5>to meet your mom again. So you got to get

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 5>it back together. And I'm here.

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, hold on, So Celia, you told the man that

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 3>bashed the window in your car to rob you. Essentially,

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 3>if he pays you the money and he's nice to people,

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 3>he will see his mother in heaven. Yes, and he

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 3>could be by the way. This is a New Orleans

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 3>story through and through. I mean, I know.

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 4>We hugged it out. We hugged it out.

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 3>As a sucker. I have so question? Yes, godhi, what

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 3>some questions?

0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 4>Okay?

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>So now when you say they ended up pointing me

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to the landscape or who is they?

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh, a bunch of neighbors all rally together.

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>So they all saw him do it. And he was

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>still on somebody's property somewhere.

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 4>He was like a block or two.

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Man who was a criminal broke into your car.

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 4>And he had the weed whacker too, get a weed whacker? Yeah,

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 4>you cornered him? Yeah?

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 6>Are you?

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 3>Was he hot?

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 4>I actually have a picture of his license. I can

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 4>show y'all after No.

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, it's okay, a picture of him.

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:26.280
<v Speaker 6>Okay.

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 3>So the conversation here is forgiveness.

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so I gave him a hug and I was like,

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 5>don't do anything bad again. Just keep going around and give, give,

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 5>be generous, don't take.

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.679
<v Speaker 4>And then he was like, yeah, and see.

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm the only one in this room that sees the

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 3>logic behind where she's coming from.

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.799
<v Speaker 1>Logic went out the door when she approached a criminal

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and cornered him.

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot, neighbor.

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 2>I see her heart and how you want to do

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 2>these wonderful things, and I think that's fantastic. I think

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 2>you need to be careful because you're gonna get yourself killed.

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 2>And I also think he was telling you a bs stories.

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 3>Probably, And I also love how Celia is guarding the

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 3>gate at heaven. It's really hurt. It's her decision. Go ahead,

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>It makes me a little bit nervous that he gave

0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you the money and was like, the only reason I'm

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 1>doing this is because I want to see my mom

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>in heaven. Like I my life would have flashed before

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>my eyes like three times. Like this guy wants to

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>kill me, but also he wants to get to heaven,

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 1>so he's.

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Not like no, no, to see organized religion, and this

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 3>guy slipped like grease and he just got caught. So

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 3>he figured, think fast, think fast, think fast. And he

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 3>just told you this entire lie. And he's like, I'll

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 3>will to manipulate her emotions, and that's exactly.

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 4>What he did.

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well it worked, and in the end, my.

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 4>My car got fixed. He gave me cash, and it

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 4>got costs three hundred and.

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 5>Fifty two dollars and he gave me three fifty so

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 5>it only cost me two dollars to get it fixed.

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 5>But I had to drive home with my windows smash

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 5>and all of the glass was like falling through it

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:00.840
<v Speaker 5>lying at me.

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 3>There's the inconvenience of having to get it fixed and

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 3>the whole thing. So yeah, I don't know. So forgiveness.

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 3>You know, there have been times in this room where

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 3>someone will do me wrong or the show wrong, and

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 3>I will I will go, okay, no big deal, let's

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 3>move on, and you guys will get mad at me

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 3>absolutely for being okay, let's move on. I don't want to.

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to sit here and harbor that negative energy.

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I understand moving on, and I understand like, Okay, I'm

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna forgive you. I just don't get the forgetting thing.

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Never forget, no way. And then also because I don't forget,

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>then it makes it harder to forgive because every time

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I remember, I'm like.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 2>You mother, m I'll harbor that negative energy for you will, Yes,

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 2>you will.

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 3>You're plenty for everyone. So you guys think silly's out

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 3>of her mind?

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I have a question, how are you still alive?

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 6>This is just one of probably a dozen stories I've

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 6>heard in your life that something similar happens where you

0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 6>put yourself in a situation that you could die.

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how are you still? I really don't know? Like,

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 4>was he bigger than you?

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 5>Clia, I truthfully, I don't know. I've like scathed death

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 5>like a lot of times.

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I really have a Can we also ask your why

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 2>you are banned from venmo oh week skipped over.

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 5>I got hacked and somebody sent themselves seventeen hundred dollars

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 5>on my account. Before I was I was on a

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 5>flight to Europe, so it was quite literally the worst

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 5>situation ever. So I disputed it and they were like, Okay,

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 5>now you need to prove that it's your account.

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Take a selfie with your idea.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 5>I was like, great, done, they said, actually, that's not you,

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 5>so retake it.

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 4>You have one more chance. Retook it. They said, that's

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 4>not you. Your account is done forever.

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 5>What. I cannot contact them, I can't do anything. My

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 5>phone number, my email, my name, oh, my bank account

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 5>banned for life.

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I'm seeing a pattern here with Celia.

0:07:59.480 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 5>Are you? Guys?

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 3>You are sort of a magnet for interesting stuff.

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, for sure.

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 3>I bet. I bet you could go for hours about

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 3>all the crazy crap that's happened to you because it's

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 3>you and it can't be explained. You're just a magnet

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 3>for that.

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's what all my friends say. They're like, anytime

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 5>something happens like, of course that would happen to Celia

0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 5>like that, nobody else because that's just how it goes.

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 5>But it makes me the entertaining friend than you.

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 4>Around for the entertainment.

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Then therefore, I think we have to invite Celia back

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 3>up the hallway to hang out with us again.

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna jeez, I miss y'all.

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 3>All right, the forgiving Celia, We love you.

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.079
<v Speaker 5>Thanks guy, Helia.

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 2>The Elster after party
