Speaker 1: Hey there, folks. It is Sunday, September the seventh, and
Speaker 1: we have a Phillies Karen. That is what she's being called.
Speaker 1: That is the person that everyone is directing their ire
Speaker 1: towards these days. But we are going to try and
Speaker 1: to find a way right now to defend Phillies Karen.
Speaker 1: And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and
Speaker 1: TJ Robes. You have been looking at this video repeatedly
Speaker 1: right before we came on and got in front of
Speaker 1: these mics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you said we're going to defend I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take issue with that.
Speaker 1: You're already backing away from it.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: I never agreed to defend her.
Speaker 1: You are separating yourself from this woman immediately.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, because I thought from what I saw, it
Speaker 2: was just it was awful and it actually made me
Speaker 2: feel sick to my stomach to watch.
Speaker 3: It was gross.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to ask. Can you give me
Speaker 1: an emotional reaction? We can break down and elements of
Speaker 1: what we see, what she should have done, couldn't have done,
Speaker 1: But how did you feel look like an emotional reaction?
Speaker 3: What was it anger?
Speaker 2: Like? I actually felt like I wanted like and I
Speaker 2: actually wanted to do, like I wanted to push her.
Speaker 2: That's just it was like stop or you just want
Speaker 2: to slap her, like what are you doing? Or like
Speaker 2: maybe honestly, a really fun thing would have been to
Speaker 2: do whilch is hold up a mirror, let her see
Speaker 2: her face and what she was doing and how she
Speaker 2: was acting like she couldn't see herself, and I'm now
Speaker 2: the interesting thing is she can see herself if she
Speaker 2: so chooses, because the video of her doing what she
Speaker 2: did is everywhere.
Speaker 1: And what does she think of it when she sees it? Folks,
Speaker 1: Probably at this point you all have seen or heard
Speaker 1: about what happened at a Philadelphia Phillies versus Florida Marlin's game.
Speaker 1: This game was on Friday. The incident as we can
Speaker 1: describe Philadelphia excuse me, yeah, yeah, Phillies player hits a
Speaker 1: home run, goes into the second deck. Everybody scrambles for
Speaker 1: the home run ball. We have seen it happen a
Speaker 1: million times, and people scramble for them and we'll see
Speaker 1: who comes out with it. But it's always a mad scramble. Fine,
Speaker 1: there was a scramble for a ball. A man comes
Speaker 1: out with the ball, holds it up. You can tell
Speaker 1: he's pretty proud that he got it, walks directly over
Speaker 1: to his son and almost slams it down in his
Speaker 1: son's glove. You could tell he was just so excited,
Speaker 1: like he took no moment of joy with that ball
Speaker 1: for himself. He went directly to his kid.
Speaker 3: He couldn't wait slam, Yes, he couldn't wait.
Speaker 1: Well, seconds later and the cameras stay on this moment,
Speaker 1: this is all happening on live television. Seconds later, a
Speaker 1: woman comes down the aisle to the man and immediately
Speaker 1: starts berating him. Now we couldn't tell what she was
Speaker 1: saying from the video. Initially berating the man, and he
Speaker 1: frankly roes he was startled in a way that was
Speaker 1: almost startling to see him jump in that way. He
Speaker 1: looked like he had just gotten caught in the conjuring four.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he recoiled.
Speaker 1: He completely scared the hell out of here.
Speaker 3: He was definitely scared.
Speaker 2: His jaw kind of dropped and he pulled his hands
Speaker 2: in a defensive motion. He was not expecting that at all,
Speaker 2: So to me, that almost speaks volumes where we'll get
Speaker 2: into who had the ball first or what. But she
Speaker 2: claims she had the ball. There was no part of
Speaker 2: him where it looked as though he knew or he
Speaker 2: thought he had taken a ball from someone. He was
Speaker 2: kind of like, wait what because he was so sure
Speaker 2: that he had gotten the ball clean and fair.
Speaker 1: You know, you're right. It looked like he was getting
Speaker 1: caught up in real time about an incident that he
Speaker 1: wasn't aware it took place. Correct, right, So she's yelling,
Speaker 1: she's berating him. This goes on for ten plus seconds probably,
Speaker 1: and he's trying to say something to her or explain
Speaker 1: something to her, and then eventually he reaches into his
Speaker 1: son's glove, takes it from his son, hands it to
Speaker 1: the woman and kind of gestures and points and you
Speaker 1: can tell, just go away, just get away. She goes
Speaker 1: back to her seat. Now videos show up online and
Speaker 1: robe she is getting handily and someone say, some would
Speaker 1: say deservedly roasted.
Speaker 3: She certainly is.
Speaker 2: There were two girls I believe who were behind while
Speaker 2: this was all happening and decided to record it on
Speaker 2: their phones and immediately uploaded it. So within minutes this
Speaker 2: thing was everywhere and obviously was on live national television
Speaker 2: as well. So there were two different there were actually
Speaker 2: several angles, so once you go online you can see
Speaker 2: it from many, many, many different angles, and you can
Speaker 2: actually hear her say you.
Speaker 3: Took it from me. It was in my hands.
Speaker 2: But people have gone back and looked at the video
Speaker 2: from the actual ball coming in and they all go down,
Speaker 2: so it's hard to see. But it was second. I mean,
Speaker 2: it did not look like there was. There was no
Speaker 2: struggle between or among There were three people who went
Speaker 2: to go for the ball. There was another man, this woman,
Speaker 2: this Karen, and then the man, the father, and.
Speaker 3: He popped up with the ball in like a second. Yes,
Speaker 3: there was no struggle.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. He was not pulling it from anyone.
Speaker 1: There was no scuffle. It looked like everybody was going
Speaker 1: for something. He was the fast one. Yep, it's exactly
Speaker 1: what it looks like. But still, even if her pinky
Speaker 1: had touched the ball, she doesn't have the right to
Speaker 1: the ball. This happens all the time. We've seen this
Speaker 1: in court cases, right when people fight over home run
Speaker 1: balls and who had it a home run ball, there's
Speaker 1: worth millions of dollars somewhere who's in possession of it?
Speaker 1: He is clearly he didn't take it from her. We
Speaker 1: don't have to argue about that. But still we get
Speaker 1: to this point so we can hear what she's saying,
Speaker 1: and there's several angles. Everybody's going off on her. And
Speaker 1: then what happens. She has a moment she could have
Speaker 1: she could have gone and had a second thought, she didn't.
Speaker 1: She ends up leaving the stadium, leaving the area in
Speaker 1: short order, according to the dad, But the Marlins team
Speaker 1: hears about it some kind of way. They bring him
Speaker 1: out a goodie bag for the kid who was celebrating
Speaker 1: his birthday. The home run hit her from the Phillies
Speaker 1: meets him later gives them a signed bat. So all
Speaker 1: of that, I know, we look at this and we
Speaker 1: see we shake our heads and made what's wrong with us?
Speaker 1: What's wrong with people? But then the reaction lets you know, oh,
Speaker 1: people are actually really good.
Speaker 2: Right. You might have one person who acted badly, but
Speaker 2: the majority of the people are were on the side
Speaker 2: of the dad and the son. And you know, the
Speaker 2: reason why the Marlins saw it so quickly is because
Speaker 2: those girls posted it immediately, and so word got around
Speaker 2: very very very quickly. When it went viral, like within minutes, well.
Speaker 1: In the dad said, well, yeah, it was shown in
Speaker 1: the stadium.
Speaker 3: True.
Speaker 1: He said, people were booing incessantly at this woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were calling her a Karen from immediately. They
Speaker 2: were calling her a Karen. She and that's probably why
Speaker 2: she left, because there was actual visceral responses happening in
Speaker 2: the stadium within moments.
Speaker 1: The dad described as well later in an interview. We'll
Speaker 1: tell you some more about his comments, but to that
Speaker 1: exact moment, he said, there was a man sitting with
Speaker 1: this woman. He said it might have been her husband,
Speaker 1: but he had his head down. He was embarrassed, and
Speaker 1: he was the one who got up previously. He got
Speaker 1: up before she did and left. He didn't want any
Speaker 1: to be near her. He said, she's got up and
Speaker 1: start yelling and saying something nasty to him. So this
Speaker 1: was kind of an ugly like you.
Speaker 2: Should be on my side, you should be standing by me,
Speaker 2: And he was like yeah, no, and yeah. Karen was
Speaker 2: trending how quickly and it's still trending right now.
Speaker 1: I mean this I haven't checked in the basket of
Speaker 1: a lot. When I got up this morning, it was
Speaker 1: still number one trending Karen about this woman. Now little
Speaker 1: disturbing here is that one of the Google trending topics
Speaker 1: was this Phillies Karen identity. Oh wow, people are trying
Speaker 1: this was a specific Google trend, a top trend. Folks
Speaker 1: are trying to find out who she is.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: We are not going to say a name here on
Speaker 1: this podcast, but there is a name or maybe a
Speaker 1: name or two floating around. Not sure if they've got
Speaker 1: it right or not, but whoever that person is is
Speaker 1: getting a lot of heat their way. There are places
Speaker 1: they believe she works are getting heat coming their way.
Speaker 2: There have been some places of employment that have actually
Speaker 2: put out statements saying that's not the Karen. That employee
Speaker 2: is not who you think she is in having to
Speaker 2: try and deny. So, I actually can't imagine. Look, she
Speaker 2: behaved terribly in front of cameras, but I cannot imagine
Speaker 2: what she is probably experiencing today. And yes, there are
Speaker 2: tenacious folks who almost certainly will find.
Speaker 3: Out who she is.
Speaker 2: She had a very distinctive haircut and hair color and
Speaker 2: a very distinctive and yes we all can see exactly
Speaker 2: who or what she looks like.
Speaker 3: So anyone who knows her is going.
Speaker 2: To know that is who the mysterious Karen is on
Speaker 2: the video, So it's just a matter of time if
Speaker 2: they haven't already put it out there.
Speaker 1: But what should we do with that? What should we
Speaker 1: do with that information? What should we do with her?
Speaker 1: Other than what?
Speaker 2: No, we shouldn't want anything with that. No, I don't
Speaker 2: want anything to happen to her. What should happen is
Speaker 2: that hopefully she will learn from this, Hopefully she'll realize
Speaker 2: how bad her behavior was. Hopefully she'll make amends. It
Speaker 2: would be amazing if she apologized to the father and
Speaker 2: the child. It would be amazing if she gave the
Speaker 2: ball back, even though luckily the boy already got a
Speaker 2: ball on a bat, but still from the principle of
Speaker 2: the matter, and so that would be my hope that
Speaker 2: she actually takes initiative to go do the right thing,
Speaker 2: and not necessarily in front of cameras, but just behind
Speaker 2: the scenes, repairs what she can, and then goes on
Speaker 2: and becomes a better person. But for anyone to single
Speaker 2: her out and somehow make her life miserable or hell
Speaker 2: by saying or doing things about her online, then we're
Speaker 2: just as bad as she is. You know. I just
Speaker 2: would never want to encourage anyone to. That's just it's
Speaker 2: not for us to decide. And frankly, I feel like
Speaker 2: just all this attention in her circle, you know, it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter if maybe even anything major happens or but
Speaker 2: everyone who knows her is good to know. She's that woman.
Speaker 2: She's gonna be called Karen for the rest of her life.
Speaker 2: There's probably no way to avoid that. She is going
Speaker 2: to suffer. She already is suffering the consequences.
Speaker 1: I I always try to reserve a moment here for grace,
Speaker 1: for allowing for somebody having a bad moment. And I
Speaker 1: can't remember their names right now, but at the US
Speaker 1: open the hat snatcher right, Yes, that incident for me
Speaker 1: was easier right because it was a split second. It
Speaker 1: was a split you don't get. You don't get a
Speaker 1: moment to think about what happened, or should I He
Speaker 1: saw the hat go and just snatched and got it
Speaker 1: for his kit. Fine, this woman had time, she had
Speaker 1: time to think, she had time to cool down, she
Speaker 1: had time to reflect, She had time to do so much,
Speaker 1: and so do you. Alcohol is not an excuse. I
Speaker 1: didn't see her with a beer in her hand or
Speaker 1: any other drink. But does it change anything. If you say, hey,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a Phillies fan who is drinking at
Speaker 1: a game. Should we go Ah?
Speaker 2: Well, no, I think that that baby behavior needs to
Speaker 2: be called out. But I don't think that she needs
Speaker 2: to be in some way. I mean, I know they're
Speaker 2: saying they want her band. People are asking for her
Speaker 2: to be banned from the games permanently for life. People
Speaker 2: are saying she should be arrested.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think it rises to that level. He chose
Speaker 2: to give her back the hat, she chose to yell
Speaker 2: at him. He chose to be the bigger man, and
Speaker 2: that's amazing. There was a lesson in that for everybody.
Speaker 2: But do you think do you think that behavior requires
Speaker 2: further punishment.
Speaker 1: Then she's getting Now? No, I just don't And I
Speaker 1: don't know this woman. She might be an angel in
Speaker 1: the rest of her life and just had a bad moment,
Speaker 1: or she might be an awful person and everybody would
Speaker 1: testify under oath that she is. I don't know. But
Speaker 1: because I don't know, I'm trying to err on the
Speaker 1: side that she just had a bad moment. I am
Speaker 1: I'm I'm desperately trying to err on that side. Yep.
Speaker 1: And it's hard to do, but there is robes one
Speaker 1: one way I could go about possibly defending her, and
Speaker 1: I will explain that in just a moment. And also
Speaker 1: we do want you to hear what the dad said
Speaker 1: in an extended interview he did with a local Philadelphia affiliate,
Speaker 1: and again he reassures us that yes, maybe there are
Speaker 1: some good people out there, all right, folks defending the indefensible.
Speaker 1: If you have not seen the video yet of this,
Speaker 1: do we even call her that? It even Phillies Karen.
Speaker 1: I don't have another name for her.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean it kind of is like Jane Doe,
Speaker 2: but now we know it's Philly's Karen.
Speaker 1: Okayen, Yes, who barked her way into getting a home
Speaker 1: run ball from a kid who was trying to celebrate
Speaker 1: his tenth birthday.
Speaker 3: Yes, that makes it even worse.
Speaker 2: Celebrating his tenth birthday and she took a ball from him.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a perfect birthday. You get a home
Speaker 1: run ball. You can't beat that.
Speaker 2: Well, now he's the talk of the town. He goes
Speaker 2: back to school his birthday, everyone knows where he was
Speaker 2: and everyone knows how he celebrated I mean, he did
Speaker 2: get a bat, another ball, and a lot of attention,
Speaker 2: which is great.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that he should have.
Speaker 2: Had to go through what he went through, but I
Speaker 2: do think it probably turned out to be one of
Speaker 2: the most memorable birthdays of his life.
Speaker 1: Sweet, you make a good point. The game was Friday.
Speaker 1: Monday is going to be his first time to go
Speaker 1: to school.
Speaker 2: Since he's going to be he's gonna be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: strutting back into school, that's cool.
Speaker 1: I didn't ask you this, though. What would you have
Speaker 1: done as that parent?
Speaker 3: I would not have given her the ball?
Speaker 1: What how would you have reacted?
Speaker 2: I would have said, Mammy, need to cal him down,
Speaker 2: which would have made her even more angry.
Speaker 1: You think you would have said it that calmly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, because I would have seen that
Speaker 2: she was so out of control and so out of
Speaker 2: place and so not in the right that would have
Speaker 2: actually given me the confidence to remain calm. I would
Speaker 2: have almost laughed, like, you need to calm down.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I think you would have responded angrily.
Speaker 2: Oh, I would have said you need to calm down,
Speaker 2: but with a sneer. Yes, you, what would you have done.
Speaker 1: I might have laughed, but knowing cameras, I would have
Speaker 1: stood my ground, if you will, and dared this woman
Speaker 1: to shout in the face of a grown man who
Speaker 1: was not going to be physically intimidated by her. I
Speaker 1: would have kept a smile on my face the whole time.
Speaker 1: I probably would have taken the ball from my child
Speaker 1: and I said, oh, this ball, Oh no, you're not
Speaker 1: getting this one. If you want to get a last
Speaker 1: look at it or anything, it's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going on a picture with it.
Speaker 1: Maybe I would have gone sarcastically that far.
Speaker 2: Yes, with that lady, I believe that, But neither one
Speaker 2: of us would have given her the ball back. No, no,
Speaker 2: I would not have either, absolutely not. Look and I
Speaker 2: understand he wanted it just to go away and be done,
Speaker 2: and I think he did. We'll get into what he
Speaker 2: said about it, wanting to be a lesson for his son.
Speaker 2: But I also, I think interestingly for me, I have
Speaker 2: two girls, but I wouldn't have wanted them to see
Speaker 2: you giving up or giving into someone who was being
Speaker 2: a bully if they were completely in the wrong. I mean,
Speaker 2: if there was some sort of dispute, I would be
Speaker 2: willing to hear, but if I knew for a fact
Speaker 2: that I got the ball fair and square, there's absolutely
Speaker 2: no way I would want my daughters to see me
Speaker 2: back down because someone was bullying bull And this.
Speaker 1: Is not at all a criticism of the day in
Speaker 1: the least because his point during the interview was that
Speaker 1: the lesson in that moment he was trying to teach
Speaker 1: was a de escalation. Yeah, and that's great. To de escalate,
Speaker 1: to get this over with. This is how I'm going
Speaker 1: to resolve it. And he did. He got it over with,
Speaker 1: and it worked out sure for the kid. De escalation.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Actually, on one way to put my lesson would have
Speaker 1: been sarcasm. And I don't think that's good. I think I.
Speaker 2: Really, I think she's an a student in that actually,
Speaker 2: But I do think it's interesting what he chose to
Speaker 2: do versus what we would have done. He actually created
Speaker 2: a better moment for his child in terms of because
Speaker 2: he gave the ball back. That is why we saw
Speaker 2: then the baseball team go above and beyond and give
Speaker 2: him his due. It was a beautiful act of humility
Speaker 2: and kindness. Honestly, in the moment that I wish I had,
Speaker 2: I could say I would have possessed. But I'm pretty
Speaker 2: sure I know me and I would not have done that.
Speaker 1: And this is where I and we did it with
Speaker 1: the US Open, and we've done it in stories past
Speaker 1: when fans behaved badly. The tennis player meeting with that
Speaker 1: kid that got his hat snatched and signing things and
Speaker 1: all that. The Phillies and the Marlins, both teams came
Speaker 1: to this kid's aid. This is where sports and teams
Speaker 1: often just nail it, They really really get it right.
Speaker 1: So I applaud both teams for doing what they did.
Speaker 1: The dad did do an interview, a longer extended interview
Speaker 1: with a local affiliate. Here were some of the takeaways. Again,
Speaker 1: we talked about the de escalation. Here's a quote that's
Speaker 1: kind of heartbreaking. Robes. That's what we were there for.
Speaker 1: To get a home run ball. Putting it in his
Speaker 1: glove meant a.
Speaker 2: Lot on his birthday, on his tenth birthday, now, doesn't that?
Speaker 1: Now we talked about that, he got to meet the
Speaker 1: player and all these things. Now, what do you think?
Speaker 1: That's a tough what if? But if you had that
Speaker 1: moment with your son, like which moment was more valuable?
Speaker 1: He was able to create that moment for your son,
Speaker 1: got you a home run ball, he goes homes your
Speaker 1: tenth birthday and everything's great, or the alternative, he has
Speaker 1: to meet this woman, but then blessings come out of it.
Speaker 1: Let that be a lesson to that's all right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he did the thing that actually was.
Speaker 2: The like the christ like thing to do. He just
Speaker 2: gave it back to her and blessings and blessings came.
Speaker 2: And and I do think that there's a lesson in
Speaker 2: that because I again, I you know, I just don't
Speaker 2: think I would have made that same choice. And I
Speaker 2: think he made the right choice. I think it was
Speaker 2: a beautiful choice that he made. And even knowing how
Speaker 2: much it meant to his son to have been able
Speaker 2: to do it in that moment, that's that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: The other thing he said during the interview, and this
Speaker 1: is where humility or I'm just blown away, to be
Speaker 1: honest with you, sometimes the kindness of people. But he
Speaker 1: said that two other fans, well I didn't know this,
Speaker 1: came over and gave us on a ball after the
Speaker 1: incern That's awesome. They came over and gave I guess
Speaker 1: they were coming. I assume coming from somewhere else who
Speaker 1: had gotten a foul ball came and gave balls. Two
Speaker 1: other people did that.
Speaker 3: That is so so, that's cool.
Speaker 1: But then Roles, he still didn't have anything negative to
Speaker 1: say about this woman.
Speaker 2: No, he didn't. He said, I don't want her life
Speaker 2: to be ruined. He said, she brought that on. She's
Speaker 2: gonna pay for that, and it's not by my hand,
Speaker 2: so you know, I mean, it's not that he wants
Speaker 2: it for her, but he's seeing it happening in real time.
Speaker 1: But he had an opportunity to bash her and he
Speaker 1: did not. And the interviewer asked, would you accept the
Speaker 1: ball if she wanted to apologize and give you the
Speaker 1: ball back? He said yes. But the reason he said yes,
Speaker 1: he said, would be out of respect for her. He said,
Speaker 1: given the person that I know, she is, giving it
Speaker 1: back would be really hard for her.
Speaker 2: Right because he said, I thought this was kind of funny.
Speaker 2: He said that he was thinking that she might still
Speaker 2: have had a good night, like she didn't go home
Speaker 2: and feel bad about it or feel guilty about it.
Speaker 2: He felt like, just with her attitude, that she might
Speaker 2: have gotten that ball and felt like, haha, it's mine.
Speaker 3: And then had a good night.
Speaker 1: But still after all that, he didn't Basher said, I
Speaker 1: would take it out over respect for her giving it back. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't mentioned alcohol earlier. If she had a drink,
Speaker 1: not accusing, and that certainly wouldn't excuse.
Speaker 3: No, it's not an excuse for any crime.
Speaker 1: But what about this robes if this is a defense
Speaker 1: at all, tell me if it lessens it for you.
Speaker 1: If in that moment she had no idea the ball
Speaker 1: was for a kid. What we see is her taking
Speaker 1: a ball, and the story is that ball is for
Speaker 1: a ten year old kid who was celebrating his birthday.
Speaker 1: But if you take the kid out of the scenario,
Speaker 1: and this woman actually does think that a grown person,
Speaker 1: another adult and a man just took a ball that
Speaker 1: she felt that she had, would that change anything.
Speaker 2: No, because she didn't have it. So I mean that
Speaker 2: is the rule. If it was in her hand and
Speaker 2: he came and snatched it out of her hand, we'd
Speaker 2: all have seen that.
Speaker 1: We don't know what was in the scrum underneath behind
Speaker 1: the chair.
Speaker 2: But it ultimately ended up in his hands a hundred percent. So,
Speaker 2: and what I know what you're saying about her not
Speaker 2: realizing it was potentially for a little boy. But when
Speaker 2: she walked over there, huffing and puffing, once she saw
Speaker 2: that it was in his son's glove, then was the
Speaker 2: moment to go.
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 1: What if it was the heat of the moment she
Speaker 1: didn't even notice.
Speaker 2: Molded out of his son's glove to give to her,
Speaker 2: how could she not have seen that.
Speaker 1: I'm trying here.
Speaker 3: It wasn't even in his hands.
Speaker 2: He actually threw both of his hands up on his
Speaker 2: chest because he was so surprised by her, clearly without
Speaker 2: a ball in his hand. So I'm sorry, I'm just
Speaker 2: not going to be able to back you up on
Speaker 2: that defense of her.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm trying to find anything to explain why someone
Speaker 1: would do what she did.
Speaker 3: Uh, Ego, pride and just entitlement.
Speaker 1: People have bad moments. She is getting to see hers
Speaker 1: over and over and over for again. This is a
Speaker 1: happy ending. This is a happy story. It is not
Speaker 1: really about the worst in people, but just how good
Speaker 1: people are when we see something like that. I got
Speaker 1: nothing else. I have no way to defend this lady.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it is defensible, and I think
Speaker 2: the only I think really the big silver lining here
Speaker 2: is that Lincoln had an amazing tenth birthday, and even
Speaker 2: though he saw one person act really badly, he saw
Speaker 2: hundreds of others or at least dozens of others act amazingly.
Speaker 2: So it's just it's a restoration in the goodness in
Speaker 2: most people and a recognition that there are bad apples
Speaker 2: out there. And you know what, to those folks who
Speaker 2: act that way, they create their own misery, They create their.
Speaker 3: Own prison of sorts.
Speaker 2: And I don't wish anything ill for this woman, but
Speaker 2: I hope, I hope that this could be a breakthrough,
Speaker 2: a moment where you turn your life around, you decide
Speaker 2: to act differently and be different. And I do believe
Speaker 2: that people can change, and there sometimes has to be
Speaker 2: huge moments of even humiliation where you hit rock bottom
Speaker 2: and then you say, wow, I need to be different.
Speaker 2: So there could be actually everyone could win at the
