1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to Truth Hounds, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: I'm Anna and I've been unemployed for about a year now, 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: so I really have nothing going on. And I'm Kyle. 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: In middle school, I received the award most Enthusiastic to Learn, 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: So that makes me pretty special. And that is what 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: makes us the perfect investigative duo. We are two friends 7 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: who love each other very much, but what we love 8 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: even more is getting to the bottom of mysteries. All mysteries, sure, 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: but small mysteries specifically. Trust me, No mystery is too small. No, no, no, 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: Why don't you trust me when I tell you we 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: are ready to sniff around? We are the Truth House. Hello, Hey, Kyle, Hi, Hey, Hey, 12 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: it's Anna. Hey Hey, um, are you busy right now? Well, 13 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: you're actually on speaker phone because my hands are full 14 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: of massa flower. So oh oh, I'm so sorry. I 15 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: we didn't we need to talk. I'll be right there, 16 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: okay o boo, hi, Hi, thank you so much for 17 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: meeting me here. Yeah, of course this is maybe silly, 18 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: but I'm looking at the endlessness the horizon and I'm like, 19 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: where do we even begin? Yeah, I mean, I don't 20 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: really believe in God, but it's kind of like, wow, 21 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: we are a um, one of God's little creatures exactly. 22 00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: That's the true no offense to anyone, absolutely totally no fense. Yeah, yeah, 23 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:07,279 Speaker 1: no offense. Um, you know, it's really funny, slightly off topic, 24 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: but um, So yesterday I was at my bank and UM, 25 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: I had just finished using the A T M. And 26 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: I was just kind of done, you know, and so 27 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: I left and then I looked behind me and there 28 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: was um, this woman and I was already holding the 29 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: door open for myself, and then I was like, you 30 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: know what, I'll just keep holding the door open for her. 31 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: She was so happy. She just seemed so touched, and 32 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: it was the strangest thing because to me, seeing how 33 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: happy she was, it made me feel so good, Like, well, 34 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: I mean that is such a nice thing to do. 35 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: And I mean I've actually never I've never done anything 36 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: like that. That's not true, No, it's true. Typically, when 37 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: I actually opened a door and I see someone else coming, 38 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: I'll actually shut it really fast because I'm kind of 39 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: like I gotta go, you know, you gotta go. I 40 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: gotta go. I don't want to let Aaron. It's not 41 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: even about me, like I'm telling you like how kind 42 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: of how happy she was, and it felt really good 43 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: to just see that. I mean, wow, I just commend you. 44 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: And I know you usually pose questions, but I guess 45 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: what you're kind of pondering or bringing up is why 46 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: does it feel so good to give back? Episode eight? 47 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: Why does it feel so good to give back? So 48 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: we came up with a plan we would give back 49 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: to someone who needed it and see what that felt like. 50 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: Our best guess probably pretty good. But the real question 51 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: and was whom should we get back to. You can't 52 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: give back to just anyone. I mean, a stranger might 53 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: take advantage of your kindness. You don't know the kind 54 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: of people who are out there sick of So we 55 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: thought about someone in our lives who could use a 56 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: random act of kindness. Immediately, someone came to mind. We 57 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: didn't even need to do a call to action. Case closed, 58 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: I mean case open, but that part is closed. Rod. 59 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: You remember Rod from a couple of episodes ago. He's 60 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: our third friend. Hi, I'm Rod, I'm the third friend. 61 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: Rod's a really good guy. In fact, he's one of 62 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: the best guys out there. Thanks guys, Rod, literally not now, 63 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: zibit zip it back to what I was saying, road Rocks. 64 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: We decided that he would be the perfect candidate to 65 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: receive a random act of kindness. Without going into too 66 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: much detail. Road work full time throughout the pandemic, specifically 67 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: as an essential worker. We don't want to give too 68 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: much away, but if you ate something during the pandemic, 69 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: you pretty much have Rod to thank for that. Again, 70 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: not to give too much away, so really, the plan 71 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: was to think of something super nice to do for 72 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: our third friend, Rod, and that would hopefully give us 73 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: some insight into why it felt so good to give back. 74 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: We had a couple of ideas of the things we 75 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: could do for Rod, but we felt it was important 76 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: to get his input. I mean, we wanted to do 77 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: what he really wanted to do, so we gave her 78 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: out a call. Hi Rod, Hey, what's up guys? Hi Rod? 79 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: H how's it going. It's yeah, it's pretty good. I'm 80 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm visiting my mom and uh, you know, having it's 81 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: having a nice time. Are you visiting your mom? Is 82 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: everything okay? Yeah? I just um, I haven't been able 83 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: to visit for a while. Poor guy, see what we mean? Wow, 84 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: you must have been I guess it's been really probably 85 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: a lonely year for you. It's really hard for you. Yeah, 86 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: I mean kind have been pretty lonely. Oh gosh, doesn't 87 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: that just pull out your heartstrings? We were thinking of 88 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: maybe doing something special for you, for you, Yeah, for me, 89 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: that sounds cool, kind of like a whole day dedicated 90 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: to what Rod loves. Okay, just all right, we take 91 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: a look at what Rod's dream day is and then 92 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: we do that, we make it happen. Okay, what because 93 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: we know it's been a really rough time for you. 94 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: It's probably been really tough on so well, I mean 95 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: it's been kind of tough. Yeah. Anyway, So we were 96 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: just wondering if you could give us five things that 97 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: would be in your perfect day. When Rody looked at 98 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: the calendar and on the calendar it says it's Rod's 99 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: perfect day. Oh that's today. What day? What does that 100 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: day look like? I mean, I guess I I want 101 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: to I want to hang out with my friends, right, 102 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: that's like that's on the top of the list. Hang 103 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: out with your friends. Okay, Okay, that's what I guess. 104 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: That's one. That's one, right, I mean, I guess i'd 105 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: like to, Um, I would like to Gamble number two 106 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: Gamble getting better. These are a little bit more imaginative. Wow, 107 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: let's see, I uh, maybe go see a movie. Some 108 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: of my top things to do. Oh crap, Um, I 109 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: get a mark Arita. Okay, that's not enough. Okay, that's fine, Fine, 110 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: that's fine. You have one more thing, the fifth thing. 111 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: I guess, Uh, I mean, go eat, go eat something 112 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: good that I like. I don't know what I'd figure 113 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: it out. Yeah, I mean, it's hard for me to 114 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: plan a perfect day. But if I think of I mean, 115 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: I think if I'm gambling and then I go out 116 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: to eat and then maybe see a movie, I think, 117 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: I mean, all these things kind of add up, especially 118 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: if you're doing it with your friends. It's gonna be it. 119 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun time. Okay. Wow. Before hopping 120 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: off the phone, we all agreed on a calendar date 121 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: for Rod's perfect day. It would be in about two weeks, 122 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 1: giving us plenty of time to plan. So we at 123 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: our goodbyes. There's plenty here that we could work with, 124 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: and um, I guess we're just um, we'll see you 125 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: on the day. Okay. So we gathered information from Rod 126 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: about his perfect day and thought about setting our plans 127 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: in motion, and then we kind of got sidetracked. I mean, 128 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: things were opening back up in the city and it 129 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: was an amazing thing to witness. Los Angeles, a recent 130 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: ghost town, was really waking up. It felt parision. The 131 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: mood was happy and festive. People were finally together again. 132 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: You see, we didn't necessarily forget about road. It's just 133 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: that we started to find important. When any Parisian girls 134 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: found important coffee and gossip. Thank you so much. Do 135 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: you be any chance have to eat all the milk? 136 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: I think I'm just gonna order like a croissance. I mean, 137 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: that's really all I know. You have a globe outie. Yeah, 138 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: what have you been doing? Mm hmm, I've been trying 139 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: a new oil. It's it's working. Anna. What's up, Rod? 140 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: I know we said that we didn't forget about Rod's 141 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: big day, but I have to come clean for Kyle 142 00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: and I we well, we absolutely did forget about Rod's 143 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: big day, and it was two days away and he 144 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: had taken off work. I mean, he probably has to 145 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: submit r t o s like a month in advance. 146 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: We just we couldn't bail. And to make matters worse, 147 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: I had double booked. I don't know if you've ever 148 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: double booked, but it feels really bad. You see, this 149 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: was like months ago, way before rod his big day, 150 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: any of them. I had made dinner reservations with my parents, 151 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: who live in San Francisco. They would only be in 152 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: town one day, and that one day, you guessed it 153 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: was also Rod's big day. And it was a restaurant 154 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: that you have to book an advance. There was no 155 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: way I was giving up my dinner reservation. There was 156 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: no way. But here was the real dilemma. It was 157 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: also too late to cancel on Rod. I mean, I'm 158 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: pretty sure he had requested it off at work, where 159 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: he was, by the way, being a hero. Oh man, 160 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: how is in a real predicament? Our intention was to 161 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: give someone the perfect day, not to break their heart, 162 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: stomp all over it, spit on it. Kyle, Honestly, I 163 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: think we can make this work. What time is your 164 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: dinner reservation? Um? Six thirty Jesus, that's early. It's just 165 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: that my parents go to bed at eight, and also 166 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: so do I. Well. Look, Rod never specified the duration 167 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: of his perfect day. I mean, he didn't say we 168 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: had to spend fourteen hours together. I think we can 169 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: still do it. You know what, I'll do you one better. 170 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: I think we can still throw him the perfect day. 171 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: In fact, if we just up the stakes, that would 172 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: make up for the lack of time spent together, so 173 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: it would be more perfect day in less time. I 174 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just worried about making my dinner reservation. Okay, 175 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: I get that. What if I was to tell you 176 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: I would have you home by two pm? Wait? Wait, wait, wait, wait, 177 00:14:53,400 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: that's not even possible. What No, I'm telling you what 178 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: I have in mind. Trust me, you won't have flaked 179 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: on Rod and the investigation, and you'll have plenty of 180 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: time to get to your dinner reservation. I think you 181 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: can even do the classic three beforehand, go home, shower, 182 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: and sleep. I didn't know what Anna had up her sleep, 183 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: but I trusted her since Rod's big day was in 184 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: forty eight hours. And then I got together to discuss 185 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: her little sinister plan. We did some research this one actually, 186 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: so we would be back by one thirty. So this 187 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: is the website. Well, they have an art section and 188 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: the three art display areas highlight the work of local 189 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: artists who create beautiful art using various media. Wow, that's cool. 190 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: The artwork is featured for one year in the room too. 191 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: To know. Um, it looks like he looks he doesn't 192 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: look like an artist. I like that. Literally his phone 193 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: numbers listed? Yeah, give me, I'm not that trusting. Please 194 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: take me off any phone list any if I don't 195 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: want you to contact me. Any chance I get I 196 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: just chance. The last digit of my number for people 197 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: just one? Yeah, I go, it's a four. Anyways, this 198 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: sounds great. I know things are getting really good, but 199 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: we have to take a break for some ads. And 200 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: the ad break is over. It was the day before 201 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: Rod's Perfect Day, and Rod well, he had no idea 202 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: what was in store for him. The day that we 203 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: had planned for him would require him to get plenty 204 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 1: of sleep, so we sent him a text road we 205 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: will be picking you up at six thirty am tomorrow Tuesday. 206 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: Please be waiting at your front door at that exact time. 207 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: Make sure you have your I d He texted back, 208 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: I'll try to go to bed at seven pm. At 209 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: sixty two pm, I checked in, I hope you're nice 210 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: and tucked in for bed right and early. The day 211 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: was here. My parents dropped me off at Anna's place. Weirdly, 212 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: I was waiting outside of Anna's for like ten minutes. Huh. 213 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: It wasn't like her to be late and keep me waiting. 214 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: I shook it off, and before I knew it, we 215 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: were leaving him really excited. He's like smiling ear to ear, 216 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: morning rong, good morning. Rod's perfect day was finally here. 217 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: First on the list, A big surprise. You're going to 218 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: drive out of outsound. Rod was going to drive my car. Okay, 219 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: I've got to be honest with you. This wasn't actually 220 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: a part of Rod's perfect day. I just can't drive 221 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: in the freeways. But Rod doesn't know that. And the 222 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: thing about a surprise is you don't actually know its boundaries. 223 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: You don't know where it starts and where it ends. 224 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: So as far as road knows, this was a part 225 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: of it. And so far he see really excited. I 226 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: know not much has happened so far, but I gotta 227 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: say it really was something to this whole giving back. 228 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: Then Rod took over driving. Where am I going? You're 229 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: going to go straight here? Okay? And and I got 230 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: comfy in the back seat of the car and checked 231 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: in with Rod, um what kind of what was your 232 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: thought as you drifted off at the slumber last night. 233 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: I kind of had trouble sleeping last night. I mean 234 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,479 Speaker 1: I probably went to bed at ten, but then I 235 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: woke up around midnight and stayed up till about like 236 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: one thirty or two. Guys you tell them to go 237 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: to bed at seven, they stay up all night. Next 238 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: thing you know, they're outside shooting hoops using a table 239 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: saw to build a chair till three in the morning. 240 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: Oh god, ice, now straight through the light.

Okay, So we were at the airport, and 243 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: not just any airport, the Burbank Airport, the best airport 244 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: in the world. No offense. We parked our car, so 245 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, what are your speechless, sir? Truly I'm speaking 246 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: this is with ample time. We strolled up to the 247 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: ticket counter.

Okay, awesome, thank you. So obviously you and 254 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: Rod are now on the same page. We surprised Rod 255 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: with a flight. Remember, we wanted to plan the perfect 256 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: day for Rod so we could understand why giving back 257 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: felt so good. But also remember Kyle had unmovable dinner 258 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: reservations at six pm with her parents, so I thought, 259 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: go ahead, plan the perfect day. But it's just gotta 260 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: end early. And the only to subdue any potential disappointment 261 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: from Rod was to up the antie and what says, 262 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm living life, baby, more than taking a flight somewhere exotic. 263 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: Yes I did use the word exotic, but one of 264 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: the denotations of the word exotic is just somewhere that 265 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: is new to you, and where we were going was 266 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: definitely new to all of us. I don't know what 267 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: is Pasco. Just to be thankful for the opportunity, I 268 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: am thankful. I want to go to Pasco. I didn't 269 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: know what Pasco was, but you know what, there was 270 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: a lot I didn't know, and that is what growing 271 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: up is all about, realizing your own shortcomings. So there 272 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: we were sitting at our gate about an hour early 273 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: for our flight to Pasco. Try Cities, Washington. The reason 274 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: why we chose Pasco was because it was a out 275 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: of state, so that adds some intrigue. B it was 276 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: two and a half hours away. See, once we got 277 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: to Pasco, there was a flight shortly thereafter that would 278 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: bring us back home. Indeed, I'd be home by two pm, 279 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 1: so I could make my dinner reservation with plenty of 280 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: time to rest in between. But of course Rod did 281 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: not know all that. And hey, do me a favor. 282 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: Don't tell him. Okay, okay, our time, this is our day. 283 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: It's it over here. I don't know. I think this 284 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: is are you on a magazine? I just you know, 285 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: we got quite a little flight ahead of us. How 286 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: long is it? Is it really two and half ound? 287 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry? Does it no? I just I mean, I'm 288 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: trying to think where we could go. Well, it says 289 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 1: it right there. Yeah, we're going to the Pasco Tri Cities. 290 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: I don't get what you don't understand. Not to complain, 291 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: but we weren't getting a lot of enthusiasm from Rod 292 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: at this point. And it's like, we bought you a 293 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: plane ticket to Pasco Tri Cities, Washington, Washington, out of state. 294 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: Loosen up your time, Mr wall Street anyway, sorry, We 295 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: tried to get him excited about Pasco by showing him 296 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: the webs side of the airport we would be flying into. Okay, 297 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: So there are there are tons of amenities at the 298 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: Pascoe Tri Cities Airport.

It is featured at the air pertforming 303 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: here and then is rotated out to offer an opportunity 304 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: to exhibit another convolution of art. An a moment. As 305 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: a reminder, carry on items are limited to one. We 306 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: boarded the plane bursting with excitement.

There was a certain glow about him. I'm 332 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: gonna I'm just trying to take a nap. You know, 333 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: sometimes when the best thing happens to you, you get overwhelmed. 334 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: And sleepy. We've all been there, like if I ever 335 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: win an Oscar. I mean, I'm thinking my mom and 336 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: dad and everyone who believed in me along the way. 337 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: But the second nice step off that stage, I'm catching 338 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: some z s. I worked really hard to get here, 339 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 1: to win this Academy award. Let me sleep. So we 340 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: all did our own thing on the plane right there. 341 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: Rod slept, poor guy. He woke up at five am. 342 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: Me Anna, I read the New Yorker. I got a 343 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: copy of the New Yorker, so I should probably be 344 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: reading that. And me Kyle, I just held on for 345 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: dear Life's gonna hold on for dear life. We settled in. Yeah, 346 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: all I see right now is cloud. I wish that 347 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: there was something to describe right now. Two and a 348 00:28:53,160 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: half hours later we were there Pasco Try Cities, Washington. 349 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Pascal, Washington, where the local 350 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: time is approximately a TENNY, and we'll be talking for 351 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: the next few minutes. The first leg of the trip 352 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: was complete. We were excited for what the day was 353 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: going to bring. And now an ad break. The ad 354 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: break is over. Be queued up to get off the plane. Excited. 355 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: It's your big day? What are your most excited what 356 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: are you most excited to know? What my big day? Okay, 357 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: a reminder, we're doing something nice. Nice work for you 358 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: because you've had such a hard time. You had such 359 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: hard COVID. We've been single, you've been working on the 360 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: front line. Is a single man working on the rent lines? 361 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: No offense? Do you know how lonely that I mean? 362 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: It sounds I have coworkers and stuff. I don't know. 363 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: It sounds like I'm by myself the same, Okay, I 364 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: tend to go out. We set our goodbye to the 365 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: wonderful airline staff and stepped out of the airplane which 366 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: had become our temporary home, and took our first steps 367 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: onto the soil of beautiful Pasco Tri Cities, Washington. Literally, 368 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: it was such a small airport. You had to exit 369 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: from the plane onto the tarmac and then just walk 370 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: into the airport. It was a journey of about three steps. 371 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: Thank you to fight, Thank you YouTube. Take it in. 372 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: You're taking it in. I'm taking it in. Lis is nice, 373 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: very cool day. I like it the beautiful Pasco Tri Cities, Washington. 374 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: It was a beautiful day. The air was crisp, full 375 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,479 Speaker 1: of possibilities. The wind carried with it a kind of 376 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: Mediterranean mystique. The very soil smelled fresh, honest Mediterranean. What 377 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: am I even thinking? This? This was America. We walked 378 00:31:53,560 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: into the airport. He was small, but honest, good folks here. 379 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: You could just tell Kyle, don't forget the folks set. 380 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: You're right Anna, good folks and folks sets. There we were, 381 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: the three of us, Rod, Anna and I. We stood 382 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, as if to say, Pasco, 383 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: we have a ride. We took one ceremonious step forward 384 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: and then we stopped. Here's the thing. Remember how Kyle 385 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: had dinner reservations at six thirty pm with her parents 386 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: and she wanted to be able to do the classic 387 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: three beforehand. Well, the only way that she would be 388 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: able to do that is if we got back from 389 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: Pasco Tri Cities, Washington as soon as possible. And by 390 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: that I mean right then. That's right. We had to 391 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: get back on the plane immediately. We turned around, directed 392 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: Rod's attention to the gate information and waited for Rod 393 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: to catch on, but not for too long because we 394 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: had a flight to catch. That's her flight. So we 395 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: got immediately check back. Rod was speechless. That's why we 396 00:33:54,840 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: really wanted you to take in sort of because I 397 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: don't know how much time or We quickly checked in 398 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: with the gate attendant burning and honestly, our boarding probably minutes. Okay, perfect, 399 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: just make your great. We knew we had to board shortly, 400 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 1: really shortly. In fact, our flight to Pasco had arrived 401 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: a few minutes late, cutting our time at the Pasco 402 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: Airport even shorter. To be honest with you, when we 403 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 1: looked on the Pasco Airport website, we thought maybe we 404 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: would have time to check out some of the local art, 405 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: have lunch. She used the restroom stretch. But nope, the 406 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: gate agent told us we had approximately fifteen minutes until 407 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: the flight boarded, and if we weren't there, they would 408 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,439 Speaker 1: leave without us. I mean, would we even have time 409 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: to get a souvenir to prove that we ever stepped 410 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: foot in that beautiful airport? Oh? The kids shop, I 411 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: just I like that. Yeah, wait, I want to get one. 412 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: We each got a postcard. There was one with an 413 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: eagle on it, one with a beach chair. But I 414 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: don't even have time to explain we have a flight 415 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: to catch. Honestly, there was no time to look at 416 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: anything else. We immediately checked out. Okay, we gotta check 417 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: out here. I'll get them all. So we're in a rush. Yeah. 418 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: Kyle offered to pay for everything just so that we 419 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: could move on. And then Rod appeared out of nowhere 420 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: like a damn Poulter gunst holding a bag of flips. 421 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: Those are chocolate. You know what, it doesn't even matter. 422 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm excited for the rest of my perfect day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Rod, 423 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it on the plane. We don't have 424 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: time for this. We'll get you the flips. It's on us. 425 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: We really didn't have time for this, so we did 426 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: the only thing we could think of. We made a 427 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: run for it and took in as many parts of 428 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: the airport as possible at Olympian speed. Okay, we're really 429 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: gotta go. You got that. I have probably like five minutes. 430 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: We probably it's probably. There was just one thing left 431 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: to do, get a photo. We had to commemorate Rod's 432 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: perfect day. We asked a nice looking lady to take 433 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: our photo. Weeically asked lady figure a group picture. Oh yeah, 434 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:41,399 Speaker 1: go ahead, you sure about? Thank you so much? Oh yeah, yeah, 435 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: that's good. Thank you much. Oh other way, Yeah, just 436 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: like the other way. It's hard to explain exactly what 437 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: she was doing here, but she had a screen of 438 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: the phone facing us, and the camera was about an 439 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: inch away from her face. So we were standing there 440 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: looking at a super close up image of her on 441 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: the phone screen. We were in such a rush. I 442 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: thought that New York would be like this. Turns out 443 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: the real metropolis was Pascal all along. Oh yeah, it 444 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:33,400 Speaker 1: looks good, Thank you. We don't have time. Perfect thing. Anyway, 445 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 1: We got the shot and we ran back to the 446 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 1: gate to make our flight home. Oh my god, our cordage. 447 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: We got back on the plane and took our seats. 448 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: We fastened our seatbelt, nice and tight and safe us. 449 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: We sighed a sigh of relief. This day was an 450 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: absolute success in terms of the investigation. Hell yeah, it 451 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: felt good to give back to Rod. I mean, if 452 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: you guys could see Rod right now, he looked totally 453 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: tuckered out, like a child after opening all of his 454 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 1: presence on Christmas Day or one of the ones on Hanukkah, 455 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: no offense. If this is how good it felt to 456 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 1: give back. I wanted to give back all the time. 457 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 1: Now we all talked about what an awesome day it was, 458 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: although for a second, I'll be honest, it kind of 459 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 1: felt like Rod was disappointed or something. I don't know. Yeah, 460 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: I guess there was a little bit of a disappointment 461 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:53,320 Speaker 1: that it was just we're just going to you're joining 462 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: us today. But then again it was hard to hear him. 463 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I was just being sensitive. No 464 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: big deal. Anyway, we all got really comfy and slept 465 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: the whole way back. I know it's an expensive way 466 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,359 Speaker 1: to get some rest, but oh man, we needed it. 467 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: Waited Darlin, welcome for a Hollywood purday. Alrighty, all right, 468 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 1: so what are they can? I want to six him? Yeah, 469 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: so you're you've got plenty of time before your Yeah, 470 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about all the other things I can do 471 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: them in pak that's great. I know I can't spend 472 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 1: time with my dog. Oh yeah, that's good. That's a 473 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 1: good idea. I might, you know, exercise, I might do laundry, 474 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: even though I don't really it worked out well for 475 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,359 Speaker 1: because it really worked outful. Yeah. Yeah, there's the day 476 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: to do what really matters. Honestly, guys, I love this investigation. 477 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: Giving back was awesome. Not only was Rod the happiest 478 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 1: I've seen him in years, but I would have so 479 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 1: much time to do stuff I had been putting off 480 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 1: for weeks. Anybody else having a really hard time adjusting 481 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: after the pandemic. My time management skills are like in 482 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: the toilet. It's so hard to find time to even 483 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:36,719 Speaker 1: do your laundry. So, yeah, this felt great. It's hard 484 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:42,760 Speaker 1: to pick favorites with our investigations, but this one rocked. 485 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: We set our goodbyes to Rod. All right, I think 486 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,959 Speaker 1: we're We're at Rod's place, is it? Yeah? Um, thank 487 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 1: you so much for driving yourself back. Justs a reminder, 488 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,240 Speaker 1: and it doesn't drive on freeways, and I honestly didn't 489 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: have the energy to drive. So Rod drove us to 490 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: the airport and now drove us back in Anna's car. 491 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: But wait, wait, wait, don't forget about the last part 492 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:22,479 Speaker 1: of Rod's perfect day. Oh that's right. We didn't tell you. 493 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: We have one last surprise for you and Rod, and 494 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:34,840 Speaker 1: that's saying goodbye while showering him with compliments. Is that 495 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: a new jacket? I know I've had it, I've had 496 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: it for a while. It's really look really good. Thank you. 497 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about this time of day, 498 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: but you look fly, really look. I think's told me 499 00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: that before this time of day you talk like or heat. Ye, 500 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: it's or something like that because it's but it's also 501 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: like midday PM and the sun is high. The sun 502 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 1: is really hot. I mean, I think this is really 503 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:20,280 Speaker 1: your time to shine. Thank you, you look great. Thank you. 504 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: And when all was said and done, we asked him 505 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: for his thoughts on the day. How would you know? 506 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: What would you say? I mean, it was is interesting. 507 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 1: We asked him to zoom in on that a word 508 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: like interesting can have so many connotations. We needed to 509 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: know what he really meant by that. It was it 510 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: was interesting. It's an interesting day, okay, okay, kind of 511 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: like what you would say kind of perfect almost perfect, Yeah, 512 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,759 Speaker 1: I mean almost perfect. Yeah okay, but I mean in 513 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: saying it is almost interesting, is definitely almost perfect. We'll 514 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: take that. Bingo. He said it was perfect. We said 515 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,359 Speaker 1: our goodbyes. The rest of your day, all right, well, 516 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: thank thanks. I guess I'll see you guys sometime. Yeah, okay, 517 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:27,479 Speaker 1: you can just you're gonna talk all right, okay, okay, bye? Ron. Great. 518 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: By the way, it had been a long day already, 519 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 1: so we treated ourselves to some fresh oysters and then 520 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:43,439 Speaker 1: headed back to the beach to talk. What a day, 521 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 1: but a day. I'm really tired. Yeah, I'm really tired. 522 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 1: And I guess we gotta get you out of here 523 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 1: pretty quickly. Right. Yeah, I'm a little stressed out because 524 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 1: the reason why we book such a quick trip was 525 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 1: because I have this dinner reservation. It's thirty so coming 526 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,839 Speaker 1: all the way out to the b each and then 527 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: having to drive back is like I could drive straight 528 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: to the thing. And so I'm I really hope I 529 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 1: can make it. But no, I really appreciate you coming here, 530 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: so thank you so much. And well we'll just kind 531 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: of we'll just kind of do it quickly. And yeah, 532 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 1: and I think we did a really good job. And 533 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,800 Speaker 1: I feel good. I feel great. And to see the 534 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: beautiful smile on his face, that's right, giving back. I 535 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: felt really good for the obvious reason seeing that beautiful 536 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 1: smile on Rod's face. But we also discovered something really cool. 537 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:44,319 Speaker 1: Giving back could actually be incredibly time efficient if you 538 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 1: planned correctly. It's almost like there's a ratio. Let me 539 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,840 Speaker 1: tell you what I mean. The bigger to give the 540 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 1: less the time you have to commit. So theoretically, think 541 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: about having someone a big present in a big box. 542 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 1: The bigger the box, the less time you got to 543 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 1: stick around to watch the recipient open it. So theoretically, wait, stop, 544 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,520 Speaker 1: you're you're making this way too complicated. Let me break 545 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 1: it down. What Anna is trying to say is that 546 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 1: if you got someone a gift so big that a 547 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: crane has to lower it into the gift recipient's backyard. Literally, 548 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:35,480 Speaker 1: as the big gift is hitting the ground, you're long gone. 549 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 1: You were already on a red eye to Iceland to 550 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 1: go backpacking and reconnect with someone you met in college. 551 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: You're just going as friends, but I don't know, you're 552 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 1: open to something happening. I mean, that's not why you 553 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: booked the trip, but I mean exactly, you wouldn't have 554 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: paid dollars just for a chance to kind of see 555 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: if something romantic arises. But again, you're not closed off 556 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 1: to the possibility of I don't know, seeing a beautiful 557 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,840 Speaker 1: guyser and believing in love again. So if the kids comes, 558 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: you're not gonna turn your head away. You're gonna actually 559 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: put your face right there and take it in and 560 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Maybe when you get back 561 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: you'll see each other again. I just it's just one 562 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: of those things you've got to be open, and if 563 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 1: you're not open, sometimes you're never gonna find love.
