1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Sometimes on this show we'll recognize our hero of the week,

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: but never before have we honored our most unlucky person alive.

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: I like they were just making up awards left and right.

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 3: We have the power to do it.

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, and today's unlucky

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: Laddie is a man named Joshua Spristerbach What a name.

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Back in twenty seventeen, he was homeless for a little bit,

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: sleeping outside churches and in bus stops, until one night

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: when cops approached him and asked for his information.

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: Okay, are they gonna help him get services that he needs?

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: No, Well, he didn't have any idea on him. Yeah,

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: but he also didn't want anybody to know that he

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: was out on the streets. Yeah, so he made up

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: a random first name of Thomas and then used his

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: grandfather's last name.

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: All right, Castleberry.

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I get the reason why he'd do that

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: hard to spell point.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: So cops went to their patrol car, ran a background check,

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: and found Thomas Castleberry recently had broken out of a

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: mental health the odds, so Joshua was put in handcuffs

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: and delivered straight back to the psych war. Oh no, where.

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: They probably didn't believe him when he finally told them

24
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: that he was Joshua that's.

25
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: Right, no matter how many times he screamed to the

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: doctors or authorities, I'm not really Thomas Castleberry.

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: I made that name up.

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: It's also my grandfather's name.

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 3: Nobody was buying that we'd before.

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: What a nightmare for you even get a call when

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: you get put in a place like that, like, it's

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: not like a ah.

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: But fast forward nine years later, one of the supervisors

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: running the facility determined Joshua was actually telling the truth.

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: Nine years nine years that's a present.

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: So they helped him get legal representation and he just

38
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: won a lawsuit for close to one million dollars in damage.

39
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: Should be like fifty million dollars.

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: But they're probably like, well, he wasn't working at the time,

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: so lost wages is a little hard to figure out.

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he's getting something, man, that's crazy.

43
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: Good reminder, be careful what name you give to the cops,

44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: because it could be an escaped mental patient and you

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: might have to serve their time for them.

46
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Thomas is still living his life.

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of escaped mental patients, he said, you want

48
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: to do electrocute us with a dog shot collars.

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's my job. I get paid for it. Okay,

50
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: if you say sobody do your thing. Happy April Fool's Day, everybody,

137
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: In twenty seventeen, Netflix unveiled Are you still watching? Really?

144
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: Nobody would actually fall for anything like this. That's that's

145
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: the key is like it has to be just weird

146
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: enough that it could be true, and not so weird

147
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: that it's just beyond belief.

148
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: I'll say the problem with this one is is who

149
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: do you even call if you have a problem with Netflix? Like?

150
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: Is there people the other side of it?

151
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't think there is no customer service. I'm

152
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,320

00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: And somebody wanted to hear Backstreets back by the Backstreet Boys.
