Speaker 1: Comitting this guy.
Speaker 2: Everybody, thank you for being here. The Saint Jude Radiothon
Speaker 2: was today on the broadcast version of the show, and
Speaker 2: this is the podcast version, which we're gonna do some
Speaker 2: content as well. We appreciate you guys that listen to
Speaker 2: the podcast and we hope you became a partner in
Speaker 2: hope and if you did, awesome, And if you're here
Speaker 2: just for the giggles, great or not always just giggles,
Speaker 2: just for the compelling content. I know everybody's got a
Speaker 2: little something here. I'll go first that ceo that was
Speaker 2: shot in New York.
Speaker 3: Oh crazy dude, and.
Speaker 2: I've watched so many videos. First, let me just explain
Speaker 2: what happened. Six forty five am yesterday morning. The United
Speaker 2: Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was headed to an investor conference
Speaker 2: in New York City. He was one of the big speakers.
Speaker 2: Gunman approached him from behind, fired several shots.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: He was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Police say
Speaker 2: the gunman arrived at the location about five minutes before. However,
Speaker 2: that's been since there and multiple witness to say this
Speaker 2: guy was waiting there for hours and hours. So but
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna read from the story from NBC News.
Speaker 2: Talking to NBC News, his wife paul At Thompson, said,
Speaker 2: there have been some threats that were tracking down what
Speaker 2: they called several good leads. That is from NBC News.
Speaker 2: Now this is just gonna be talking about it because
Speaker 2: I got on the algorithm of it last night on TikTok.
Speaker 2: And first of all, the guy's in full head and mask,
Speaker 2: and nobody thinks anything of it because people said, must
Speaker 2: be wearing masks now because of COVID.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was that kind of mask.
Speaker 2: No, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't And it's cold
Speaker 2: at the same time in New York down here, so
Speaker 2: it's a combination of people already wear masks and it's cold,
Speaker 2: so you're just covering your face anyway, so you don't
Speaker 2: think anything of it. He's dressed and dark, he has
Speaker 2: a great backpack on. And initially it was he arrived
Speaker 2: right when the guy arrived, so it was like he
Speaker 2: must have known exactly when he was there. But then
Speaker 2: again watching the eyewitness some of the people were like, no,
Speaker 2: he was there. He was at a Starbucks. That footage
Speaker 2: of him at a Starbucks. The bat called the guy
Speaker 2: was at the Starbucks and they waited for hours apparently
Speaker 2: walks up. I believe it was a twenty two pistol.
Speaker 2: And what they call a suppressor is what we would
Speaker 2: call a silencer. So when you hear them talk about
Speaker 2: a suppressor, that's like in the movies when it's a silencer.
Speaker 2: So it did have that on it. The gun jammed
Speaker 2: while he was shooting, and you can see him unjam
Speaker 2: it and shoot because because he shot him in the
Speaker 2: calf at first. This is why I don't think and
Speaker 2: it was purpose. This is just me giving an opinion.
Speaker 2: This is why I don't think it was like a
Speaker 2: hired super skilled hitman is because of all the things
Speaker 2: that went wrong. What's up?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: Just me chilling?
Speaker 5: Is this just men's phone ringing your.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just a joint eruption at no problem, No,
Speaker 2: I thought.
Speaker 4: I I wanted you to check because in case it's
Speaker 4: an emergency, it's.
Speaker 2: All good here, no miscalls anything. Yeah here. So the
Speaker 2: reason that I don't feel that it was a hired hitman,
Speaker 2: especially one of high skill, because it could have been
Speaker 2: a hired person to kill, but he shot him in
Speaker 2: the calf at first, And if you're using a handgun
Speaker 2: and you shoot in very rudiment. And reversion of this
Speaker 2: is if you shoot in your hands or below your shoulders,
Speaker 2: it's going to shoot low. The guy didn't know what
Speaker 2: he was did he did hit him. He didn't know
Speaker 2: what he was doing, so he shot him in the calf,
Speaker 2: unjammed the gun, shot him in the back, took off,
Speaker 2: got on the e bike, got out of there. As
Speaker 2: of right now, they still don't know who he is.
Speaker 2: So I think there was some history of using that weapon,
Speaker 2: because you don't unjam a gun like that without knowing
Speaker 2: how to use it. But I don't think it was
Speaker 2: someone who was like a million dollar hired to hire
Speaker 2: a hitman to kill a CEO because of how because
Speaker 2: if that were the case, he'd walked up, put her
Speaker 2: upside his head and killed him and walked off, same
Speaker 2: thing because he was five feet away from him. Like
Speaker 2: that's probably how that would have gone down.
Speaker 5: Oh so he probably wouldn't have gone to the Starbucks beforehand.
Speaker 2: Like that seems so weird that times you gotta stay away.
Speaker 6: You've been out there all night, like you're just taking it,
Speaker 6: like you're going to go to Starbucks when like you know,
Speaker 6: there's gonna be a video of you in the Starbucks
Speaker 6: and then.
Speaker 2: He didn't have his mask on though, And how what
Speaker 2: I would counter on that is he knew he's gonna
Speaker 2: be on video anyway everywhere because he was. He's on
Speaker 2: video at the mask on and the gun. They got
Speaker 2: him like four or five different places, including Starbucks, and
Speaker 2: it looks like the same picture. He didn't take his
Speaker 2: mask down in Starbucks.
Speaker 4: Do we know what he used to pay with at
Speaker 4: Starbucks yet?
Speaker 5: And they haven't said that. That's why I wondered buy
Speaker 5: a drink.
Speaker 2: And it's like if he had his phone with him,
Speaker 2: he's cooked.
Speaker 5: Well, they found a phone.
Speaker 6: They found a phone in the alley way where he fled,
Speaker 6: and they do believe the phone belongs to the person,
Speaker 6: and they are trying to get a search warrant to
Speaker 6: go through the phone, which.
Speaker 2: If it wasn't a Barner phone, again not not somebody
Speaker 2: who is hired to do this at a high level. Now,
Speaker 2: there are one hundred theories as to what it could
Speaker 2: have been, and those are just people making up stuff.
Speaker 2: But a person that would have been hired to do
Speaker 2: this on a high level would have probably one had
Speaker 2: no electronic device on them at all because there's no tracking.
Speaker 2: Two would have walked up and just put it at
Speaker 2: his head and boom and walked away. Because he actually
Speaker 2: did the same thing just two shots, but seven to
Speaker 2: ten to twelve feet away when a shot in the
Speaker 2: calf there. So all that is the non non emotional
Speaker 2: part of it, right, that is the I cannot believe
Speaker 2: we just saw that happen broad daylight, got away on
Speaker 2: an e bike, e biked there, walked walk got back
Speaker 2: on an e bike, had closed you could change in
Speaker 2: and out of, had a gray backpack, nondescript clothing. All
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 6: Also fled into Central Park where they said there's not
Speaker 6: very much, very many cameras, So that's probably why he
Speaker 6: went into Central Park.
Speaker 2: Right, changed his clothes, like rode the bike in a park, right,
Speaker 2: changes clothes, got it and got out of there. Is
Speaker 2: this update of Mike the mask gunman who stalked and
Speaker 2: killed used ammunition with the words denied defendant pose so
Speaker 2: on the bullets. I had not read that until right now.
Speaker 6: Which is yeah, which is the title of a book
Speaker 6: written a few years ago talking about how health caught
Speaker 6: care uses these words to delay your to avoid paying
Speaker 6: you out insurance things.
Speaker 5: What are the words deny.
Speaker 2: Delay, deny, defending in to pose.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 2: So also, this could also be what they call like
Speaker 2: a false flag. Somebody could be doing this to throw
Speaker 2: the scin off where if they're doing this, someone goes, well,
Speaker 2: it must be because they're upset about insurance. When it's
Speaker 2: somebody going well, if we do this, there's just so
Speaker 2: much right now that that doesn't make me feel like
Speaker 2: that is real. That could be a red herring.
Speaker 3: As you did say that the wife said that they
Speaker 3: had threats.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, but I would think that insurance CEOs. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I feel like that. I think that's a common people.
Speaker 2: Are so mean to. I was looking at comments and
Speaker 2: every one of them was like I would give condolences,
Speaker 2: but my insurance when cook in the comments section of
Speaker 2: these set, but also people also, I was also because
Speaker 2: they're like stealing the joke too from other people. So
Speaker 2: the first thing I was like, you're sad human, why
Speaker 2: would you do this? Somebody just die? Then secondly I'm like,
Speaker 2: you just stole that joke from another person's Instagram comment
Speaker 2: and used it. Now you're getting all the likes. Loser.
Speaker 2: He was a guy who moved up through the company too.
Speaker 2: He wasn't one of these CEOs. It was like hired
Speaker 2: headhunted from another company. He's like somebody who started low
Speaker 2: level and rose up. I understand that the trouble that
Speaker 2: and there was some insider trading stuff that that had
Speaker 2: started to circulate, and there was some AI stuff where
Speaker 2: it was like they were using a company. This is
Speaker 2: just gonna be my memory, and I could be wrong
Speaker 2: about the numbers here, but they were using an AI
Speaker 2: company to say yes or no to things, and it
Speaker 2: was proven the AI company was like ninety percent wrong,
Speaker 2: and they were still using it anyway, even while knowing that.
Speaker 2: Like that, that's something that I read. But there's going
Speaker 2: to be so much misinformation out there now because people
Speaker 2: just want to get clicks that now it's like, we'll
Speaker 2: just wait and see. But the problem is with wait
Speaker 2: and see is okay, we're still waiting to see what
Speaker 2: happened Jefrey Epstein And you know what he dies? That
Speaker 2: was from the inside. That was for sure, from the inside.
Speaker 2: The cops take a break. The cops take a break.
Speaker 2: They turned the cameras off it so who knows what
Speaker 2: we know except this guy. Also, you don't really know
Speaker 2: what your CEO is doing. Like let's say you work
Speaker 2: at the company and he was speaking at this conference,
Speaker 2: and it was known he was there way early, like
Speaker 2: you don't know. It wasn't like it was said, this
Speaker 2: guy's going to be here on this day, because it
Speaker 2: wasn't the day he was talking. There's just a lot
Speaker 2: of things that don't allow you to have the full
Speaker 2: scope of what's happening because we only are we only
Speaker 2: know what we're being told.
Speaker 4: Because it's sort of like, okay, well was this guy
Speaker 4: professional or not, because it seems like some of this
Speaker 4: stuff he would have to know, or how he would
Speaker 4: have to know what he knew would be really a
Speaker 4: little more a professional issue.
Speaker 2: I would say that you can be in the know
Speaker 2: without being professional, okay, and also have.
Speaker 4: Some skills okay, So it's like not or just.
Speaker 2: Be in the know and hire somebody who is like
Speaker 2: a drug addict that will do anything for drugs or
Speaker 2: moneycause they're a bad place and you know what they do.
Speaker 2: This is what happens with a lot of these is
Speaker 2: that they will hire somebody I say they I'll just
Speaker 2: use that generically, that they'll hire somebody with this situation
Speaker 2: like this, and they'll pay them and they'll give them
Speaker 2: and then they'll make sure they ode on the drugs afterwards,
Speaker 2: so there's no trail back to the I'm not saying
Speaker 2: that's this one, but that does happen as well. Then
Speaker 2: you never know, because I.
Speaker 4: Feel like that that really happened in real life or
Speaker 4: just on TV.
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know on TV that happens. Oh, in
Speaker 2: real life, that happens. It's a sucky story. And I
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it happened right there. And then I was
Speaker 2: thinking what about the people that saw it happen? And
Speaker 2: I was like, what if I saw it?
Speaker 7: What I do?
Speaker 2: Run?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Shots fired? You run?
Speaker 2: It's like I guess people are like, why didn't someone
Speaker 2: just jump and take him down? And then I think,
Speaker 2: let me think about what I would do. I'd run.
Speaker 3: You don't know who those people are.
Speaker 4: Like and exactly where it was coming from. Maybe you
Speaker 4: hear it, and then you're like, oh, is that if
Speaker 4: it's silence?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: True, they were right there like they saw it, because
Speaker 2: again it's ten feet people that saw him. Silence wasn't
Speaker 2: mean that makes no noise, right.
Speaker 4: Because suppressor that's a better way to put it suppressor because.
Speaker 2: TV gives you a wrong impression of silencers for the
Speaker 2: most part. So anyway, that story sucks. I feel terrible
Speaker 2: for the family because he's in such a high position.
Speaker 2: There are a thousand different theories as to why or
Speaker 2: what or how?
Speaker 5: Yeah could it?
Speaker 6: Do you think there's any I mean, I don't. I
Speaker 6: was reading about the him being investigated for the inside
Speaker 6: of trading and whatever could have been an inside job
Speaker 6: of he'd they're worried. He was going to squeal like
Speaker 6: he was going to say, Hey, this is what's happening.
Speaker 6: How does this guy know that he's coming out that
Speaker 6: door that early in the morning, And.
Speaker 2: Well if he waited for hours and hours and the
Speaker 2: conference was in that hotel, right, there is bits of
Speaker 2: intel that would lead you to think that. But you're right, yes,
Speaker 2: that could be one. But I mean, yeah, I was
Speaker 2: just I'm not attaching myself to a theory because I
Speaker 2: know nothing except what's being told here, and then I
Speaker 2: know what I don't know, and that's most of it.
Speaker 2: But that if I were an like I see you
Speaker 2: have a different insurance company today, I would have full
Speaker 2: scary around here eight time.
Speaker 6: And they said he bought a bottle of water in
Speaker 6: two bars from the Starbucks, and they did find a
Speaker 6: bottle of water in the alleyway where the gun was
Speaker 6: or the phone, So they think that that that bottle
Speaker 6: of water is his.
Speaker 5: So they're going to test it for DNA.
Speaker 2: Okay, but if they find ben A on it, this
Speaker 2: guy's not a professional.
Speaker 4: Right And also did he use Apple play or cash?
Speaker 2: Probably cash unless he's just so really.
Speaker 4: That's what I want to know link out yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and firearm experts things, it is someone that has
Speaker 6: military or a lot of gun training because the way
Speaker 6: it jams and the way they are able to jam it.
Speaker 2: So I doing that was him having weapons training or
Speaker 2: a lot of.
Speaker 4: Seeing the calf part he just got nervous or or
Speaker 4: the gun to malfunction.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: He was definitely shooting a little low and the first
Speaker 2: one didn't jam.
Speaker 4: The first one she was trying to really not.
Speaker 2: Well, My friends that live in cities think I'm like
Speaker 2: since I'm they think I'm like the biggest hillbilly and
Speaker 2: a medium hillbilly and have decent gun experience, but never
Speaker 2: with handguns. And it's like I had a four ten
Speaker 2: and twelve gauge and thirty. I six when I had
Speaker 2: a rifle, and so I know like general basic Arkansas gun, right,
Speaker 2: hunting hunting gun. Yeah, yeah, I can tell you the
Speaker 2: difference in all the gauges of shot guns. I can
Speaker 2: tell you different kinds of bird shot, buck shot, slug.
Speaker 2: I can do all that. But they're hitting me up
Speaker 2: like I'm some gun expert to give analysis, and I'm like, guys,
Speaker 2: I'm a hillbilly with guns. I don't know about the
Speaker 2: only thing that I could tell you was he knew
Speaker 2: and he has used a weapon at how calm He
Speaker 2: unjammed the thing because it did jam, and a lot
Speaker 2: of times they jam with a silent with the suppressor
Speaker 2: because that's not common. So anyway, we'll move off because
Speaker 2: I'm wildly uneducated on it. I just want to talk
Speaker 2: about the story and that sucks, and I hope they
Speaker 2: figure it out. That's it for me. You'll take a
Speaker 2: mideral real quick.
Speaker 8: Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's to the middle here, boom Amy, what do
Speaker 2: you have?
Speaker 4: What do you want to bring a story I can't
Speaker 4: stop thinking about. It's not a new shooting. It's something
Speaker 4: that happened years back. But dayline just released a podcast
Speaker 4: about it, and it's about this guy that shot two
Speaker 4: teenagers that broke into his home.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's the problem.
Speaker 4: The problem is why I can't stop thinking about it
Speaker 4: is he's in jail for the rest of his life
Speaker 4: for murder.
Speaker 2: So a couple questions. He didn't know them. They broke
Speaker 2: into a home, right, so I'm not confused on that.
Speaker 2: Were they running away from his home, like in his
Speaker 2: yard and he.
Speaker 4: Was waiting for them in the basement because I guess
Speaker 4: his home had been broken into leading up to that,
Speaker 4: and he's he had guns himself and two guns were stolen.
Speaker 4: So he was an older man who was obviously scared
Speaker 4: for his life, and he set sort of like the
Speaker 4: way they presented it in court were like he set
Speaker 4: this up as a trap, Like he made it seem
Speaker 4: like his home was empty. He wasn't there. He parked
Speaker 4: his truck down the road, and then he was waiting
Speaker 4: in the basement for whoever was breaking in. He didn't
Speaker 4: know who it was going to be. And when they
Speaker 4: came down, he didn't even wait to see their face.
Speaker 4: He just shot the first kid and then his cousin,
Speaker 4: a girl like was looking for him. And she was
Speaker 4: like waiting for him to come out. She starts to
Speaker 4: go down the stairs, he shoots her. Well, the problem is,
Speaker 4: I think maybe he had started to go a little bit,
Speaker 4: you know, something was not right because he was like
Speaker 4: recording this.
Speaker 2: You I'd broken into his house before, though, and these
Speaker 2: people had broken into his house, right.
Speaker 4: And so he was there. They pitched it is sort
Speaker 4: of don't quote me on the exact words, but premeditated
Speaker 4: in a sense because he was sitting and waiting and
Speaker 4: he set a trap.
Speaker 2: But again, but they broke in, Yes.
Speaker 4: Like they broke in, and these are I think, good
Speaker 4: kids making a bad choice. And I felt bad for
Speaker 4: the family talking in the podcast and whatnot. But I
Speaker 4: just thought, man, what would how I just keep thinking
Speaker 4: about if I was on the jury, what would I
Speaker 4: do guilt?
Speaker 2: If it's what?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's in jail for the rest of his life.
Speaker 2: I wonder why there might be some in that case.
Speaker 2: I wonder what they got him for.
Speaker 4: That audio got him, The fact that he had the recording.
Speaker 4: The it wasn't a video, it was just an audio recording,
Speaker 4: and you hear him talking to himself beforehand, like you know,
Speaker 4: kind of going over like I'm gonna get him or
Speaker 4: you know, talking about that. But but I'm like, he's scared,
Speaker 4: and he may and maybe he was going a little
Speaker 4: crazy because of it. I would maybe too, but I did.
Speaker 4: Another part is he waited because he was scared. Apparently
Speaker 4: his lawyer said, after he did it, and you have
Speaker 4: own clip, he went and hid in the club to
Speaker 4: know are more people coming whatnot. He didn't report it
Speaker 4: till the next day, and that's always trouble if somebody's
Speaker 4: been killed and you don't report it immediately. Yeah, So
Speaker 4: anyway that I can't stop talking about thinking about it.
Speaker 2: And if not, it's crazy. But there must be something
Speaker 2: we're missing. Because if someone breaks into your house and
Speaker 2: I feel it all threatened, I'm shooting them, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: that's it. If I feel threatened, I'm going to eliminate this.
Speaker 4: It's the castle doctrine. You have the right to protect
Speaker 4: your castle.
Speaker 2: And the only time I've seen people get in trouble
Speaker 2: because I don't I didn't know this story is if
Speaker 2: people are like still on your property and they're like
Speaker 2: running away and you still shoot them, right even if
Speaker 2: they're on your property, Like you can go to jail
Speaker 2: for that because they are now not a threat and
Speaker 2: they are eliminating themselves from being a threat.
Speaker 4: Okay, So to that point, the second person, the second team,
Speaker 4: he ended up shooting. He did not need to shoot
Speaker 4: her multiple times, but he did. And then like specifically
Speaker 4: like in the E But I mean I think he was.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're in that state of mind.
Speaker 4: I don't know how crazy are I just don't know
Speaker 4: that it's like murder in jail for the rest of
Speaker 4: your life, Like maybe you need some mental help. I
Speaker 4: think he was scared. And when you're in fear and
Speaker 4: then people are breaking like they literally broke into the home.
Speaker 2: So that's the part too where I'm like, I would
Speaker 2: have been shooting. And you say, do you feel after
Speaker 2: my house got broken into and I'd been pistol whipped
Speaker 2: and had a couple I was I was crazy at
Speaker 2: my house any noise, I had a gun right beside me.
Speaker 2: So it's like, he's crazy. You know what makes you
Speaker 2: crazy Whenever you feel like you could die any minute,
Speaker 2: because you've had experiences that have led you to think
Speaker 2: that you could die any minute, because people have broken
Speaker 2: in or people have attacked you. Yeah, I just wonder
Speaker 2: what the jury like. Why the jury I'd need to
Speaker 2: see why, like.
Speaker 4: You could listen to I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean it's the cord hurts Smith's whispers at the
Speaker 2: time of the shootings. I don't see them as human.
Speaker 2: I see them as vermin.
Speaker 3: What does that mean?
Speaker 4: I think you probably in my mind I was thinking,
Speaker 4: like you probably have to convince yourself, like I've got
Speaker 4: to protect myself and right now if I see them
Speaker 4: as human, like, I'm not going to be able to
Speaker 4: protect my home, and I'm scared it and I'm tired
Speaker 4: of living scared. So I'm going to take care of business.
Speaker 2: Smith's decision earlier on Thanksgiving Day Movies Vehicle from the
Speaker 2: Driveway allowed prosecutors to present the idea that he wished
Speaker 2: to bait the intruders in the act of premeditation. If
Speaker 2: you're just moving your corner baiting, it's not like you're
Speaker 2: piling up presents inside the window, going anybody that can
Speaker 2: get to these you can have and leave the door.
Speaker 4: A good you know, they had to break a window
Speaker 4: to get in.
Speaker 6: And but he I guess what they're saying baiting is
Speaker 6: by presenting the fact that you're not home knowing.
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, he said it, yes.
Speaker 2: Because you present that you're not home. But I mean
Speaker 2: you have the right to break into somebody.
Speaker 6: But he had the motive that he was going to
Speaker 6: kill these people premeditated because he trap and said, I'm.
Speaker 5: Going to move my truck down the road.
Speaker 3: Bait.
Speaker 9: If you put that's a trap, that's your garage is
Speaker 9: different down the street to make the appearance you're not home.
Speaker 6: That's saying I'm going to put Christmas presents in my car.
Speaker 6: Not because you can wait for someone to shoot it.
Speaker 6: Doesn't make it okay for somebody to break it even
Speaker 6: if you're not home. I didn't they was okay for
Speaker 6: them to break in, But to try to lead them
Speaker 6: to break in, to give them reason to break.
Speaker 4: In, Yeah, because he's tired of living scared like yes,
Speaker 4: Like however you want to.
Speaker 2: Put it begging someone to break in by saying I'm
Speaker 2: not home, No, that is extremely er.
Speaker 4: It is setting the stage.
Speaker 6: That's why the jury found him guilty because he baited them.
Speaker 6: He came up with a plan to get them in
Speaker 6: his house so he can.
Speaker 2: Murder them, but to break into his house.
Speaker 4: No one had broken into his house multiple times it
Speaker 4: was multiple times.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 4: If no one had done it ever before, then he
Speaker 4: wouldn't have been in fear. And when you're in survival mode,
Speaker 4: you fight flight freeze. He was fighting correct for his
Speaker 4: own safety.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, baiting baiting would be again big flashing arrow,
Speaker 2: door wide open baiting is not something that would happen
Speaker 2: anyway because he could be gone.
Speaker 4: I just wish he would have been driven. I mean,
Speaker 4: because these poor these kids, their poor decision to break
Speaker 4: in when when they think it's an innocent thing, I mean,
Speaker 4: it's bringing in is not innocent. But right if they
Speaker 4: think he's not home, they're going to go in, steal
Speaker 4: some money, steal some whatever, and probably run out.
Speaker 2: But maybe kill him if they run into him, right Like, yeah.
Speaker 4: But that's okay. See, I don't think these teens would
Speaker 4: have But he didn't know that doesn't that two of
Speaker 4: his guns were previously stolen, So in his mind, he's like,
Speaker 4: they could come back and use my own weapons against me.
Speaker 2: And when someone is in a situation, if their life
Speaker 2: is threatened, they may actually do something exactly they're threatening
Speaker 2: to yours, even if they did not plan to.
Speaker 4: Do that, right, which is the which is where I'm
Speaker 4: just like God, like, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would that sucks.
Speaker 9: Like I have these uh like I'd say every two months,
Speaker 9: like these kids come through my neighborhood and they just
Speaker 9: go through car doors and if they're unlocked, they steal stuff,
Speaker 9: right Yeah, And I have thought myself, Mike, I would
Speaker 9: love to see them doing that so I can call
Speaker 9: the cops and like tell them exactly where they are
Speaker 9: and they get busted. But like I've even thought, maybe
Speaker 9: I get some nails, pop their tires when they go
Speaker 9: that way, I throw it all on the roads. When
Speaker 9: they have to come back down the road their tires
Speaker 9: are popped, then the cops.
Speaker 2: Is like giving a kidney though, where you're really not
Speaker 2: you know, I literally thought this, but I never know
Speaker 2: when they're doing it.
Speaker 4: He's thought it, Bobby saying it is nobody's literally thought
Speaker 4: about donating your kidney too. I know you can think
Speaker 4: all kinds of things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sucks, Amy, And well I don't.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's the whole story just was it happened
Speaker 4: back in twenty twelve. But for whatever reason, Daylight, I
Speaker 4: don't know. The podcast and my heart breaks for the
Speaker 4: family of the teenagers and it's just.
Speaker 2: A it is there a chance this guy gets released,
Speaker 2: because again, depending on how small the town is, and
Speaker 2: you know, there's people sometimes running for office make things
Speaker 2: happen certain ways, they win and lose case. You know,
Speaker 2: there's just a lot happening. And if there's a light
Speaker 2: shine on it now from back in twenty twelve. Obviously
Speaker 2: I do not know all the facts other than what
Speaker 2: I'm reading. I'm reading it as we're doing the bit here.
Speaker 2: But I think not having your conference your house is
Speaker 2: not bait for someone to break in.
Speaker 4: But the audio was not in his favor is not good,
Speaker 4: and him shooting her multip time is not good. But again,
Speaker 4: he wasn't in his right mind because.
Speaker 2: Somebody's threatening you, you're never in your right mind. And
Speaker 2: that's crazy. Okay, let's do a couple other things. So
Speaker 2: there's that we have our Saint Jude Radiothon that we
Speaker 2: have been doing all morning. I do want to bring
Speaker 2: Jessica on a share on the phone or no.
Speaker 8: I thought that was gonna be for something else.
Speaker 2: Oh got it, Oh got it, we'll do it. We'll
Speaker 2: do it off the shore. Yeah, no problem. So if
Speaker 2: you are listening to the show and you want to
Speaker 2: be a partner. I hope we're gonna we have one
Speaker 2: of the families. We're gonna talk to you coming up
Speaker 2: in just a little bit. We went to the Christmas
Speaker 2: gift uh drawing yes, because we need to do this
Speaker 2: now so we know who is who. So yeah, Kevin
Speaker 2: can bring all the stuff in.
Speaker 3: This is where we draw our gift cards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my gosh, we're gonna add yes. So but
Speaker 2: we're gonna bring in and actually talk it out for
Speaker 2: a second because we only have like seven or eight
Speaker 2: minutes to do this. Yeah, I'm thinking. So Macy's gave
Speaker 2: us all these gift cards. The good thing is we
Speaker 2: have to spending never own money, which we never spent
Speaker 2: a whole lot anyway, because it was always like a
Speaker 2: forty dollars limit or something. But Macy's gave these gift cards.
Speaker 2: And there's one from ten and I have the key
Speaker 2: coming in. I will not draw, I will take which
Speaker 2: everyone is last. That way, I have no influence on
Speaker 2: what bag is what bag, but I will have the
Speaker 2: key to know what's what. So can I have the key?
Speaker 2: You can set the bags right there? Thanks Kevin. What
Speaker 2: sucks for Kevin is he was in it until we
Speaker 2: only had eight. Now he's eliminated because there's only eight.
Speaker 2: He was nine.
Speaker 3: What's the key? The key?
Speaker 2: Your key? Like all the answers. Okay, So there's there's
Speaker 2: one ten dollars gift card.
Speaker 9: Oh my gosh, you put him in the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one fell into the There's one twenty five dollars
Speaker 2: gift card. There's one fifty dollars. There's two fifty dollars
Speaker 2: gift cards. There's two seventy five dollars gift cards. There's
Speaker 2: one hundred, a five hundred, and a one thousand.
Speaker 3: My goodness, I.
Speaker 6: Mean five hundred sounds awesome, but then you go there's
Speaker 6: a thousand, and I'm just like, five hundred doesn't count.
Speaker 2: Playing the odds here, Hey, did you get the one
Speaker 2: thousand and one and a five hundred dollar one? That's
Speaker 2: two versus one, two, three, four, five verse seven. So
Speaker 2: you're looking at two and seven five hundred. That odds
Speaker 2: to because that one is awesome. That's you want to
Speaker 2: get them. So first I'll say this about Macy's. It's
Speaker 2: the best offer of the season. Take an extra thirty
Speaker 2: percent off top gifts plus fifteen percent off their best
Speaker 2: beauty brands. They have the perfect gifts of holiday season, uggs, Crocs,
Speaker 2: a wall of water bottles, lots of great stocking stuffers.
Speaker 2: Let Macy's be your guide to gifting. Shop at Macy's
Speaker 2: dot com. They do have everything. So and maybe we
Speaker 2: don't even draw until tomorrow. We can just draw names now.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. I'm not totally set on the
Speaker 2: most interesting way to do this. I've walked through every
Speaker 2: scenario in my head. I've walked through we draw a name.
Speaker 2: Let's say I draw Amy's name, and then I pull
Speaker 2: a bag and do I pull it immediately and go
Speaker 2: only got ten dollars. I've done the thing where it's like,
Speaker 2: we don't say who we have and we draw the bag,
Speaker 2: but we know how much money there is on the
Speaker 2: card go because then the person does that. That's an
Speaker 2: interesting wrinkle. I've done the thing where it's we have
Speaker 2: the bag and nobody knows who they who has I
Speaker 2: don't know Amy. I'm gonna go to you. What do
Speaker 2: you think the best idea for the most drama? This
Speaker 2: is a bit, this is not real.
Speaker 4: This is you want me to pick which one's gonna
Speaker 4: be the most drama asked.
Speaker 2: Lunch or I'm not asking him because he's rageful and international.
Speaker 2: I'm asking you because it's for the most compelling part
Speaker 2: of the bit, like what's the best way to do
Speaker 2: this as a fund? Fund doesn't mean everybody has a
Speaker 2: good time, but for the listeners to go like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I can't believe that. What's the most suspenseful
Speaker 2: way to do this?
Speaker 4: Where you I think that you capitalize on two moments
Speaker 4: of suspense, the first moment being you find out right
Speaker 4: away what the dollar amount is for whatever person, and
Speaker 4: then it'll be funny to see what they end up getting,
Speaker 4: like which.
Speaker 2: But what about knowing who the person is? Like what
Speaker 2: in your version?
Speaker 4: Yeah, like if it's okay, so I guess how because.
Speaker 2: I have in my head, I have it drawn exactly
Speaker 2: how I do it. But I want to hear your
Speaker 2: work before you say that.
Speaker 4: Well, here's what I'm thinking, Like you like, I say,
Speaker 4: I draw a lunchbox, so you go on name first.
Speaker 4: I draw the name first. It's like, oh, I got lunchbox.
Speaker 4: And then I draw my gift card and I'm like,
Speaker 4: it's ten dollars.
Speaker 2: So you want to know that that's out there?
Speaker 4: Yes, And then it'll be fine to find out later
Speaker 4: what I got for ten dollars for him, because it's
Speaker 4: like a double because otherwise we're waiting, and then I'm
Speaker 4: going to give him the thing I got for ten dollars,
Speaker 4: and it's going to be like, oh, you find both
Speaker 4: of those things out at the same time.
Speaker 2: So I'm fifty percent with you on that. I think
Speaker 2: we draw the name, and I think we draw the
Speaker 2: if you say, because it's just not interesting. If I
Speaker 2: draw you and then I say I have ten dollars
Speaker 2: for you, I don't even care to hear what do
Speaker 2: you get it for ten dollars? Right it already lost
Speaker 2: the lust face, the luster of the that is gone
Speaker 2: as the guy.
Speaker 6: That's full of rage and irrational. If you told me
Speaker 6: right away, I'd lose interest if you told me ten
Speaker 6: dollars right away.
Speaker 2: Where I want to, like, I draw somebody and it's you,
Speaker 2: and we don't say what the gift card amount is, okay, and.
Speaker 5: Then you're waiting until we do the day and you're
Speaker 5: sitting there the day.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. But even when they open.
Speaker 4: The press, the person doesn't know, but the listeners do.
Speaker 2: Maybe what if it's like lunch let me finish. Let
Speaker 2: me finish the explanation here.
Speaker 4: Okay, sorry I got excited.
Speaker 2: I think what it is is draw the name, get
Speaker 2: the gift. You draw the gift card, but you don't
Speaker 2: say what the how much it is. They open the
Speaker 2: gift without knowing how much the gift card was until
Speaker 2: after they open the gift, and then it's like I
Speaker 2: had X amount of dollars, we're going to say something.
Speaker 1: Well, the reverse could also be that we don't say
Speaker 1: who we get, we say what our gift card is.
Speaker 2: That's that's that's basically the same. But yes, it's that
Speaker 2: that we're leaving one of the elements unknown. So you
Speaker 2: but but if we draw the name, and we have
Speaker 2: the name, we know like who's our friend or enemy already?
Speaker 2: Because because what makes it interesting is if Lunchbox gets
Speaker 2: you or you get Lunchbox because he's easy to be pissed.
Speaker 3: But the power is interesting.
Speaker 2: The power is interesting, Like, but if you don't have
Speaker 2: who the power over who is, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but everyone's gonna want to hope that that power
Speaker 9: is for a certain person.
Speaker 2: That's a good point too. Okay, So what we're gonna
Speaker 2: do because we have to go. We're going to draw
Speaker 2: names today. Only we're not gonna draw bags.
Speaker 5: Wait, but I'll be here tomorrow.
Speaker 2: We'll drawn names. It's a good point. So we have
Speaker 2: to do well, No, we don't. You can just do
Speaker 2: yours today. Just Morgan will do hers today. So do
Speaker 2: we have some different names? We had a wheel? Do
Speaker 2: we have time?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I can put everybody's name on it. Yeah, bring it name.
Speaker 2: It's just we got to keep spending it and pull names.
Speaker 1: It's fun.
Speaker 2: I mean, we have an interview in like five minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's do this. I don't worry about that. Who are
Speaker 2: the names on the thing? Just read the names of
Speaker 2: the other people participating, please, I don't know if a
Speaker 2: read I can write. I don't know. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: hold on, Bobby. That's why I think we're bringing a
Speaker 2: new characters for this.
Speaker 5: Well, you said.
Speaker 2: If lunchbox spin Mike D, Mike D go ahead, Abby Rude,
Speaker 2: Rick Murray.
Speaker 5: Well he said Kevin.
Speaker 2: Kevin's never been done, and Morgan just spin two, three, four, five, six.
Speaker 2: That's nine people should be nine? Yeah, we have nine
Speaker 2: gift cards, Becky nine Okay, hey, please, okay, so Amy,
Speaker 2: you're gonna go first, pick a number one, nine, nine,
Speaker 2: you have Scuba Steve okay, Lunchbox picking number four, you
Speaker 2: have Amy. I'm gonna take a picture of my sheet though,
Speaker 2: by the way, so you guys don't think I'm changing anything.
Speaker 4: Lunchbucks bo got it?
Speaker 2: Okay, Lunchbox is Amy? Okay, Morgan? Yeah, pick a number two?
Speaker 2: You have Ray? Hey, Ray, Eddie. If you need to
Speaker 2: know the numbers that are.
Speaker 3: Left, I got it, go ahead. Number three.
Speaker 2: That's me, Mike d It's left one, five, six, seven
Speaker 2: and eight. I'll say one. You have Abby. You've already picked.
Speaker 5: Amy, ray Man.
Speaker 8: They got a number picked crazy?
Speaker 3: Eight?
Speaker 2: Eight, you have Eddie Crap Ray Mundo. You have Scuba
Speaker 2: Scooba is already on the list. I have Yeah.
Speaker 8: So there's only eight, then that should be nine?
Speaker 2: Did you Oh Morgan? That's Morgan. That's Morgan. That's Morgan.
Speaker 2: You have Morgan. That's right, that's Morgan. And then there's
Speaker 2: two left.
Speaker 4: Ray.
Speaker 2: Have you picked a number? There's two left, There's six
Speaker 2: and seven, and then Abby you'll pick I think you
Speaker 2: did pick you have Morgan?
Speaker 4: Wait, I have Ray?
Speaker 2: So Ray has me? Also?
Speaker 3: Do you have more?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 2: So you guys have each other happenings. So I have
Speaker 2: a pick, and Abby has a pick, and I Mike.
Speaker 2: You can look so you can see what the numbers are.
Speaker 2: So I'm not a cheating or anything. Abby, you can
Speaker 2: pick number six or number seven and seven you have
Speaker 2: Mike d.
Speaker 5: He's the most honest in the world.
Speaker 6: And when he gets that thousand, I'm getting all thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: You don't know that. You don't know that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna have to bring proof of receipt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's another rink. Do you have to spend
Speaker 2: the whole card? I think the option is you don't
Speaker 2: have to. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 2: These are rules. We're inventing a new.
Speaker 4: Game because you know, if Lunchbucks gets I have him
Speaker 4: if I get the thousand, So you're saying he could
Speaker 4: get me something for like twenty bucks and keep.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking that could be a wrinkle. Moregan needs you
Speaker 2: to draw a bag. You know he will, and then
Speaker 2: just draw the bag and take it with you. Tell
Speaker 2: me the number your don't open it. Just tell me
Speaker 2: the number you're picking. Okay, And so I'm the only
Speaker 2: one that knows how much that is. I don't want
Speaker 2: you to look in it. Just give it to Scuba
Speaker 2: Steve until you get back. Okay, I'm your trip, but
Speaker 2: we know which one is yours. Your number is nine
Speaker 2: nine nine, all right, nine, all right, let's do this
Speaker 2: is uh Fisher. We're gonna play this from the show

Speaker 2: Because that's what's up. And I we'll just go to
Speaker 2: the interview now, thanks show and the b team giving
Speaker 2: Saint you kids the greatest gift Hope.
Speaker 10: Seven eighteen hundred.
Speaker 2: That's the number you can call to become a partner
Speaker 2: in Hope. We'll get back to that number in a second.
Speaker 2: The heck, I'll say it again, one eight hundred seven
Speaker 2: nine five eighteen hundred.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Special guests in studio now Fisher and his mom, Felena
Speaker 2: and Fisher Holiday Buddy eleven years old. Yeah, so how
Speaker 2: long you've been eleven exactly? I know, a year a whole.
Speaker 2: Are you about to have a birthday?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh, Simmer nineteenth.
Speaker 2: Let's go. Okay, that's coming up quick. Maybe i'll give
Speaker 2: you a or someth before you leave. But if you
Speaker 2: want a present, I don't know what I have, but
Speaker 2: I can probably got something. Huh. So Fisher has brain cancer?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Had had?
Speaker 3: Okay? Good?
Speaker 2: Because this is why I want your mom. Will you
Speaker 2: tell me about the process, like how you learned, like
Speaker 2: the very early on, how you learned Fisher had something
Speaker 2: like the cancer you later realized it was cancer, But
Speaker 2: how that happened.
Speaker 7: It started off with just a few random headaches, and
Speaker 7: it progressed really fast. It went from a few random
Speaker 7: the next week was every morning. The following week was
Speaker 7: every morning and every afternoon. And then that following week,
Speaker 7: on Wednesday, he got sick at school, so they called
Speaker 7: me to go get him. They thought he had a
Speaker 7: stomach bug, but when I picked him up, he was like, Mom,
Speaker 7: this headache. So we went to urgent care, who told
Speaker 7: us it was a sinus infection. And I was like,
Speaker 7: he's just not a complainer. So I scheduled him to
Speaker 7: see his regular pediatrician on the friday. He was passing
Speaker 7: all of his neurological test. He showed no symptoms of
Speaker 7: like a balance, inconsistency or anything. So she kind of
Speaker 7: felt the same that, you know, baby, it is sinuses,
Speaker 7: give it a couple more days.
Speaker 2: Did you feel that were wrong? Like as a mom,
Speaker 2: did you feel that they probably didn't have a total grasp.
Speaker 7: Of it in my gut? I don't know. There was
Speaker 7: just a part of me that was like, something's just
Speaker 7: not right.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 7: We're just a pretty laid back family, so I didn't
Speaker 7: throw up any immediate red flags.
Speaker 2: Sure, were the headaches different than like a normal headache?
Speaker 2: Not really, So there was no reason for you to
Speaker 2: think other than you'd probably it could have been sinuses
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: The only thing that I thought is why am I
Speaker 1: getting them every day consistently?
Speaker 2: Because you've never had that happen never, So then what
Speaker 2: do you do after they say sinus infection.
Speaker 7: We were just gonna take them antibotics and give it
Speaker 7: a couple more days. But on the Saturday we couldn't
Speaker 7: get the headache to go away. He was miserable. We
Speaker 7: tried to make a trip to the camp, thinking, you know,
Speaker 7: if it is migraines that are starting from him kind
Speaker 7: of getting older, maybe if we distract him.
Speaker 2: What's the camp?
Speaker 7: Our dear camp got him. So we, you know, thought
Speaker 7: let's get a distraction for the weekend. And on the
Speaker 7: way there, he was in so much pain that I
Speaker 7: was like, this is clearly not a sign as headache.
Speaker 7: We made it there for an hour or two, loaded
Speaker 7: back up, and had my husband just drop us off
Speaker 7: at the door of the ere.
Speaker 2: Okay, so they want to know, Okay, you've had headache,
Speaker 2: and you tell them you went to the urgent care,
Speaker 2: you went to the doctor. This is what they've said,
Speaker 2: So what do they do that's different?
Speaker 7: In the lobby, he kind of stumbled and I got
Speaker 7: a little alarmed, so I went and tell the nurse, like,
Speaker 7: that's unusual, something's not right. I guess we were just
Speaker 7: blessed by that nurse. She kind of pushed the issue
Speaker 7: quick and within about ten minutes we were in the back.
Speaker 7: He had already had his CT and they were starting
Speaker 7: an ivy and they had already given him like pain medicine.
Speaker 7: And within forty five minutes of being there, the doctor
Speaker 7: came in and told us that he had a mass
Speaker 7: on his brain and that that was an ambulance waiting
Speaker 7: for us to be transported.
Speaker 2: What do you remember about that fisher that day, like
Speaker 2: the hospital and all that, What do you remember?
Speaker 1: All I really remember is getting out of the camper,
Speaker 1: walking in, going to sleep, and waking up in a room.
Speaker 2: Really and it's gonna be hard to describe the emotion,
Speaker 2: but when they say there's something on his brain, like,
Speaker 2: what do you think? As a mom it was.
Speaker 7: Like, I think I was just stunned. There was a
Speaker 7: part of me, like I said, that had that kind
Speaker 7: of gut feeling that like something wasn't wrong right, But
Speaker 7: I never thought that. And it was just so much
Speaker 7: to take in and it went so fast.
Speaker 2: Where are they taken from there?
Speaker 7: They took him to the Saint Jude affiliate in Baton Rouge.
Speaker 7: It was about midnight when they got us there.
Speaker 2: And what happens when you arrived there? Do they go
Speaker 2: to work immediately trying to figure out.
Speaker 7: Why we had doctors waiting already that we're there to
Speaker 7: talk to us multiple doctors. They already had a game plan,
Speaker 7: already had him on the schedule for in the morning.
Speaker 7: What was going to happen. Their goal for that night
Speaker 7: was just to make sure he stayed comfortable and to
Speaker 7: get a team together for the morning.
Speaker 2: I imagine you didn't sleep much.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was an unusual feeling, like yesterday. I was
Speaker 7: looking back because yesterday was one year that we walked
Speaker 7: into the ere. So like to walk in and read
Speaker 7: the oncology floor, like you never think, wow, this is
Speaker 7: going to be me, and you know, my child walking
Speaker 7: through an oncology floor. So I remember like that night
Speaker 7: when he was sleeping, it just kept like I just
Speaker 7: kept replaying when you walk through you know it's that
Speaker 7: Saint Jude affiliate, but it's the oncology floor, and.
Speaker 2: It had to be like is this even real it?
Speaker 7: I think it took a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like it's like what because you're right, you never
Speaker 2: actually picture it being you or even worse, your kid, Like.
Speaker 7: I remember my grandmother my entire life with the Saint
Speaker 7: Jude kids on her refrigerator because you know she would
Speaker 7: donate and never in a million years do you think, wow,
Speaker 7: that might be my kid's picture.
Speaker 2: You know, when do they and what do they tell you,
Speaker 2: Like the next day or the next couple of days
Speaker 2: when they can give you more information about it.
Speaker 7: They told us the mass was stable and then he
Speaker 7: wasn't bleeding or anything. His situation was rather critical because
Speaker 7: there was so much The pressure that he was holding
Speaker 7: in his head could have started causing life threatening things
Speaker 7: like on the spot.
Speaker 2: And that's the headache, the pressure, Yes, of the ten masses,
Speaker 2: that's the headache. And that's why it hurts so bad.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow, So and I have a lot more I want
Speaker 2: to get to. But Fisher wearing a cowboy hat there,
Speaker 2: I saw some signatures. Who is That's what's happening in
Speaker 2: Sam Hunt? You met Landy Wilson at Sam Mind? Where'd

Speaker 2: Oh, I'm just saying, twelve is a whole different ballgame.
Speaker 2: Fisher had brain cancer and we were talking with Flanta,
Speaker 2: his mom a few minutes ago, and we got to
Speaker 2: the point where you were at like this Saint judeah
Speaker 2: Philly and Baton Rouge. At what point did the doctor say, hey,
Speaker 2: we want to send you to the Saint Jude in Memphis? Like,
Speaker 2: how does that conversation happen?
Speaker 7: When the they made a game plan that they were
Speaker 7: going to go ahead and do his first brain surgery
Speaker 7: to remove the tumor on the front of his brain.
Speaker 7: They said, we're going to do this, he'll be stable,
Speaker 7: and then we're going to send everything to Saint Jude
Speaker 7: and have their team look at it, and then you'll
Speaker 7: get a better game plan. So we did the surgery
Speaker 7: the following day and then they told us, oh, you'll
Speaker 7: have about two weeks before it was holidays, was Thanksgiving break.
Speaker 7: We were about ten minutes from home and one of
Speaker 7: their doctors called and said, we need you to turn around. Man,
Speaker 7: he's you know, he's got one of tumors that's going
Speaker 7: to cause an issue. He gave us till he said,
Speaker 7: I need you, you know, on the road by like
Speaker 7: two am. So do you live in Louisiana?
Speaker 2: So do you start because I think what I would
Speaker 2: start doing is googling everything about the brain. I mean
Speaker 2: I'd be an expert the cerebellum, the Surrey room, yes,
Speaker 2: and probably getting myself in trouble, like learn it you do?
Speaker 7: Yeah, before we had our team conference with the doctors.
Speaker 7: You know, everybody's like, don't go down that rabbit hole.
Speaker 7: But as a parent, you can't not because you want
Speaker 7: to know, you know, how do you fix it? And
Speaker 7: you do? You read all the things that you probably
Speaker 7: shouldn't read for his case. His cancer type is it's
Speaker 7: it's like it's a lot. It can go many different ways.
Speaker 7: There's all subgroups and subtypes and markers, and you kind
Speaker 7: of you know, I have no medical background at all.
Speaker 2: And it's the brain, right, it's the brain, which we
Speaker 2: know nothing. I mean I know nothing about the brain.
Speaker 2: It's we know nothing, very little about the brain. And
Speaker 2: so I can understand where a lot of anxiety would
Speaker 2: set in because of just in general cancer with your kid, yep,
Speaker 2: but then brain and.
Speaker 7: Then they tell you, like any of the surgeries, we
Speaker 7: don't know what's going to come out of it, not
Speaker 7: just the cancer, but what side effects is he going
Speaker 7: to have? Will he be able to walk again?
Speaker 2: When you get to Saint Jude Fisher in Memphis, what's
Speaker 2: that like?
Speaker 1: Giant? Very big. Most of the people, all of the
Speaker 1: people there, they they don't look like they're not happy.
Speaker 1: Not a day that all was there. No, one's not
Speaker 1: happy to be there, even if they are inside, they
Speaker 1: don't show in it at all.
Speaker 2: Such a positive vibe. Yeah, and you get there and
Speaker 2: like the doctors like, how did they talk to you?
Speaker 1: Pretty calm, collected?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the fact you toward collected at eleven is amazing.
Speaker 2: I just learned that like last year to say collected.
Speaker 2: Look at you? So tell me about like the process,
Speaker 2: like what starts to happen? And how long were you there? Total?
Speaker 1: Two months in twenty three and then we had the
Speaker 1: break for Christmas that we went back for my birthday
Speaker 1: in Christmas and then we were there for ten months.
Speaker 2: Right about you're all in Yeah, do you make a
Speaker 2: lot of friends there. Oh yeah, really yes, a lot
Speaker 2: of kids that are going through similar things. What do
Speaker 2: you guys do there for fine?
Speaker 1: I mean around there. Some times you can get free
Speaker 1: and go places, but most of it they have their
Speaker 1: second floor.
Speaker 11: It is.
Speaker 1: Been too long, so it's been there. Can't make makerspace.
Speaker 1: There's music lounge. They have three D printers. They always
Speaker 1: have like different crafts out every day. They have a
Speaker 1: wood engraver, vinyl stuff.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of stuff for you do when you
Speaker 2: say go free, like they don't let you go like
Speaker 2: Bill Street, hang out.
Speaker 1: Like the put put places.
Speaker 2: We talk a lot about how when people become a
Speaker 2: partner and hope, which is why we we do these shows,
Speaker 2: which is why I've done it for years. That the
Speaker 2: nineteen dollars a month goes to help the kids, that
Speaker 2: Saint You'd fight cancer, and that families never receive a bill.
Speaker 2: Can you speak on that never receiving a bill?
Speaker 3: Part of it.
Speaker 7: I can't imagine going through the day to days of
Speaker 7: keeping track of the medicines or the appointments, or what's
Speaker 7: working or what's not working, and then on the back
Speaker 7: end worrying how are we going to pay? You know,
Speaker 7: it's a lot there, but there's no stress. You're not
Speaker 7: worried about, you know, simple things of like can we
Speaker 7: go eat out tonight because that's what he's hungry for.
Speaker 7: Because they allow you to have your entire focus on
Speaker 7: your child. I was never worried about you know what,
Speaker 7: Bill is my husband getting at home? You know, how
Speaker 7: is this going to affect our family long term? Will
Speaker 7: we ever come out of it? Because we knew that
Speaker 7: him being here, not only was he getting taken care of,
Speaker 7: you know, but that our family was going to be
Speaker 7: able to keep it together.
Speaker 2: And that's why we encourage you guys that are listening
Speaker 2: that if you can become a partner and hope, the
Speaker 2: nineteen dollars makes such a difference. So you can call
Speaker 2: eight hundred seven nine to five, eighteen hundred. We've got
Speaker 2: people here waiting. You get the black crew neck sweatshirt.
Speaker 2: It says Pip and Joy. It's the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 2: So what about whenever you guys did chemo radiation? How
Speaker 2: long was that and just from knowing other people that have
Speaker 2: gone through it, it's terrible for everybody involved. How long
Speaker 2: did you have to do it and how intense was it?
Speaker 7: For him, they chose six weeks of radiation. It was
Speaker 7: thirty rounds, with twenty being all over and the last
Speaker 7: ten being aimed directly at the tumors remaining. His cancer
Speaker 7: was higher risk and it was being aggressive, so they
Speaker 7: chose to add chemo with that. So every day he
Speaker 7: woke up and did chemo and then went to do
Speaker 7: radiation after which you don't see that often with children,
Speaker 7: and then he got a short break and then we
Speaker 7: started the hard chemo that was four chemos or three
Speaker 7: chemos together over a four day span. He would do that,
Speaker 7: and then as soon as his body showed like it
Speaker 7: was recovering, they would just start another round.
Speaker 2: At what point did you feel like we are progressing,
Speaker 2: like we might actually do this.
Speaker 7: I got hopeful when a couple of weeks after radiation ended,
Speaker 7: they said we were seeing a response, so be hopeful
Speaker 7: that even though he was stage three, we're seeing a response.
Speaker 7: So that was probably our first turning point, and I
Speaker 7: think it was what gave us, you know, something to
Speaker 7: look forward to and help us through that next couple
Speaker 7: of months that were pretty hard.
Speaker 2: When did you finish chemo first round or second round?
Speaker 2: All done? When we were all done the last the
Speaker 2: last few months. Yeah, did you do it? You ring
Speaker 2: a bell?
Speaker 1: I know what.
Speaker 7: He was very upset over.
Speaker 1: No, I saw a video of it and the second
Speaker 1: it was done, where's my belt?
Speaker 5: Exactly?
Speaker 2: How did it feel to finish it?
Speaker 1: Amazing? I got to go do the things with my
Speaker 1: friends that I've always done.
Speaker 2: That's the best part about being home and not haven't
Speaker 2: worry about that anymore. What's your favorite memory from being
Speaker 2: at Saint Jude. There's a lot, Give me a couple.
Speaker 2: There are no wrong answers here.
Speaker 1: I mean meeting Sam uh, probably meeting a lot of
Speaker 1: my friends there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty cool. How they keep that environment huh Like
Speaker 2: it kind of sucks, I want to be honest. That
Speaker 2: why people are there. But it's such a positive place
Speaker 2: with everyone that is there. What would you tell another
Speaker 2: kid Fisher that's listening right now, if they're starting to
Speaker 2: go through something like this.
Speaker 1: You you're the one that knows what to say.
Speaker 2: I'm done. If one of your friends would any case,
Speaker 2: they're like, what worry about? Yeah, what would you say?
Speaker 1: Nothing to worry about?
Speaker 2: Like Saint Jude's got you. Yeah, that's awesome. What would
Speaker 2: you say, Oh, you know, it's great. I just keep
Speaker 2: thinking about that you're the magnet on the fridge or
Speaker 2: like your grandma's fridge, that of saint you kids.
Speaker 7: It's hard even now we get home and I've gotten
Speaker 7: too since we've been home, and it's kids that we
Speaker 7: met that were living in the same housing as us,
Speaker 7: you know.
Speaker 2: That are now on like them. Yes, and its pictures.
Speaker 7: It's the most unusual feeling, but like it hurts your
Speaker 7: heart to see them and then realize, you know, like
Speaker 7: it's not just a picture, like it was a kid
Speaker 7: we met and we played outside and drove remote controls
Speaker 7: with or and there's just no way for people to
Speaker 7: know that kid's story, you know.
Speaker 2: And to a lot of parents out there, I would
Speaker 2: say most to think, wow, this probably will never happen
Speaker 2: to me. I mean that was that was you who
Speaker 2: thought like that's what never happened to you? This just
Speaker 2: happens in like on TV abs. But it did. And
Speaker 2: if someone's listening now, they're thinking about it being a
Speaker 2: partner in hope, like what would you what would you
Speaker 2: ask them that you.
Speaker 7: Please consider this. There's no way to describe watching your
Speaker 7: child go through the treatment that they need, but not
Speaker 7: having to worry about. If you can pay for what's
Speaker 7: going to save their life. I will forever be grateful
Speaker 7: for that.
Speaker 2: So if you're listening now, you can text the word
Speaker 2: Bobby to seven eight five eight three three, click the
Speaker 2: link from Saint Jude to donate. That link is okay
Speaker 2: to click. If you text the word Bobby which is
Speaker 2: my name, to seven eight five eight three three, you'll
Speaker 2: get a link from Saint Jude. Click the link, fill
Speaker 2: it out. For nineteen bucks a month, you can help
Speaker 2: kids like Fisher at Saint Jude fight cancer. Another great
Speaker 2: thing is any of the research they do, they share
Speaker 2: it openly and freely with everybody, every hospital, everyone. So
Speaker 2: even if you know you're you're you're not at Saint
Speaker 2: Jude and you're at a hospital somewhere else, like that
Speaker 2: research that these you know people are listening to become
Speaker 2: partners up with their funding. It goes out to help
Speaker 2: other kids all around the country. So for sure, you're
Speaker 2: a pretty cool kid. You never know some kids aren't
Speaker 2: that cool. You're pretty cool, man, I got admit, you're
Speaker 2: pretty cool. Have birthday.
Speaker 1: Thank you pretty cool.

Speaker 2: some of our a Philliates can't carry the Saint Jude Show.

Speaker 2: descriptive as I should have been. I said, Ray, give
Speaker 2: me the normal Bobby Bone Show morning intro that they
Speaker 2: hear at the front of the podcast. I think what
Speaker 2: Ray heard was give me the morning the pre show,
Speaker 2: so you know what that's on me? You know it

Speaker 10: I was I was fine, felt fine, but I was
Speaker 10: installing a rural mailbox at the wrong house on the
Speaker 10: wrong street. My brain obviously wasn't getting up oxygen, and
Speaker 10: uh so I flopped over and if I'd been on
Speaker 10: the right street, at the right house, my anonymous guardian
Speaker 10: Angel would not have been driving by and saw me
Speaker 10: flop over, and apparently she started CPR, got hold. I
Speaker 10: call the second first responders aka the Fort Washington Hospital,
Speaker 10: shout out our Fort Washington Rescue squad team and when
Speaker 10: they got to me, my heart was beating one or
Speaker 10: two times a minute. So they got me in the
Speaker 10: rescue mobile and they're raising me the Fort Washington Hospital
Speaker 10: and along the way they had to zapp me three
Speaker 10: times and they're racing me through their murgency room door
Speaker 10: and I flatlined on them and flatlined thirty three minutes.
Speaker 10: But the medical teams, the professionalism and the coordination amongst
Speaker 10: all of them. Fort Washington Hospital knew that with their
Speaker 10: staff that I was way above their capabilities saved my life.
Speaker 10: They already had a METAVAC on the way, so they
Speaker 10: got me on life support and airbacked me. Met it
Speaker 10: BacT me to Menstall Washington d C. I was on
Speaker 10: life support there nine days. They ran brain scans and
Speaker 10: brought me back to life and I didn't come out
Speaker 10: for uh. That was on the age. I came back
Speaker 10: started to come back to on twenty four and I
Speaker 10: got released on my fifty seventh birthday four days later,
Speaker 10: and uh, but there's more to the rest of the story,
Speaker 10: or there is a rest of the story. So I
Speaker 10: flopped over and one of the spectators, one of the neighbors,
Speaker 10: my HIC was parked in front of driveway. So she
Speaker 10: found it, you know, proper to move it, and found
Speaker 10: one of my business cards. So I'm a small company.
Speaker 10: I only had three but work with me. Their names
Speaker 10: are me and myself and I. So if me or I,
Speaker 10: don't do it. But she called that number and uh,
Speaker 10: you know, obviously that's just going to go to voicemail
Speaker 10: and uh, but she had the perseverance and the competency
Speaker 10: and thought the solution to the problem. Didn't think the problem.
Speaker 10: The problem's already there, but she thought the solution. That's
Speaker 10: why I came up with that line. Have a problem,
Speaker 10: think the solution. So what she did was she googled
Speaker 10: my company. And because I bought my home from my
Speaker 10: sister fifteen years prior and never had a landline, my
Speaker 10: sister's number was still associated with to her old address,
Speaker 10: and that's how my family found out.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, oh my god, crazy, because otherwise, yeah, they
Speaker 4: wouldn't have known where he was.
Speaker 2: And so what you're saying too, is that your this
Speaker 2: was going to happen to you regardless, like physically, You're
Speaker 2: body was going to give out, And had you been
Speaker 2: at the other place where you were supposed to be
Speaker 2: that person that did all this work, would not have
Speaker 2: been there to have seen you fall over and then
Speaker 2: follow through like that.
Speaker 10: I come from a very Catholic family. Four of my
Speaker 10: five ants for Catholic nuns. My fifth one never took
Speaker 10: her final vow because she took care of my grandmother
Speaker 10: was utterly. Bishop Soulvan of Richmond is my second cousin.
Speaker 10: I guess that's the way we're always put told. My
Speaker 10: my father's brother married Bishop Soulsan's sister, So I don't
Speaker 10: know if that's second cousin, but that's out the math let.
Speaker 10: Two of my aunts are buried at Saint Mary's across
Speaker 10: from their dame, and so is one of our close
Speaker 10: family friends, sister John Frederick. And if you've never been
Speaker 10: to the granit another game. I'm telling you it's the
Speaker 10: most humbling experience in my entire life. I mean it is,
Speaker 10: so it's just it's so warm and humbling and just awesome.
Speaker 10: But I don't know, but I don't have the five
Speaker 10: Bow family. But that is that's my love story. And
Speaker 10: and you know, my favorite county is PG County. I
Speaker 10: live across the river. I caught unfair tax County. It's
Speaker 10: Philly Fairfax County. I'm caught unfair tax. That's a probably. Well,
Speaker 10: it's the wealthiest black community in America. These are the
Speaker 10: night I don't My father's like, what are you doing
Speaker 10: working over there? Don't you read the paper, don't you
Speaker 10: watch the news? I said, Dad, I don't work in
Speaker 10: a partner the townhouses. I work at single family homes.
Speaker 10: And Dad, I'm telling you, these are the most kindest, nicest,
Speaker 10: most grateful, god fearing people. So anyway, I was living
Speaker 10: with my father last three and a half years of
Speaker 10: his life, and uh, and I was working over in
Speaker 10: PG County. And this is uh way back in two
Speaker 10: thousand and two thousand and one. I've been in business
Speaker 10: six years and always you know, just I'm just telling you,
Speaker 10: it's an awesome community. So annyway up, all these people
Speaker 10: would mail their checks to me, and they always had
Speaker 10: a post it note or a thank you card, and
Speaker 10: it was all PG County. And my dad's referring to
Speaker 10: my mail as my love letters. And yep, and I'm
Speaker 10: telling you what I'm color brod. And I know your
Speaker 10: show is as well. I know how close you are
Speaker 10: to like Kane Brown and Various Rucker and and Amy
Speaker 10: with you know, a gospel.
Speaker 2: Now we understand, I know, we understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Unless we can't, we eventually have to move on to
Speaker 2: something else here, but we really appreciate that. I also
Speaker 2: like in real life from color blind. But also I'm
Speaker 2: not colorblind, Like I do see color. And I think
Speaker 2: every everybody that does a different color of skin, you know,
Speaker 2: it goes through different things. And you know, someone goes, oh,
Speaker 2: I don't see color. I kind of think that's a lie.
Speaker 2: I do see color, and I do understand people go
Speaker 2: through different things because of how they were born and
Speaker 2: what they were born into. But I do understand your sentiment,
Speaker 2: and I also agree with your sentiment. But that that's crazy,
Speaker 2: that the whole, the whole crazy. I'm glad we give
Speaker 2: James some space here air.
Speaker 4: That out his own personal tell me something good.
Speaker 2: A great listener and a great caller, and we've never.
Speaker 4: Spent one day one day, one day I want him
Speaker 4: to call and leave us a voicemail about why he
Speaker 4: was doing the wrong mailbox. I know that that worked
Speaker 4: out in his favor, but you know, we have stories
Speaker 4: sometimes where people, you know, throw a wrecking ball into
Speaker 4: the wrong house and it's like whoop. See I mean
Speaker 4: a male you know, how do you make the what
Speaker 4: was the mix up? You know?
Speaker 2: Well, sometimes they can't. They reckon ball the wrong house. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. Did you say that? Yeah, it's ready.
Speaker 2: Get text from somebody saying this is a long call.
Speaker 4: When you said that, well that's why I said to
Speaker 4: call back and leave us.
Speaker 2: I know, sorry, I wasn't.
Speaker 9: I'd also like a voicemail to see like what happened
Speaker 9: when he would flatline for thirty minutes?
Speaker 3: Like what did he see? Great?
Speaker 2: Leave James, buddy, We're going to send you that stuff.
Speaker 2: Thank you for listening, and we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 10: Okay, man, Hey, take care of both family team, and
Speaker 10: take care of the children. They're just fighting for their laugh.
Speaker 10: And uh. The other thing is you can say, Bob
Speaker 10: because you've never been a father, but you've always been
Speaker 10: supportive of Saint dudes, and like you know, I'm an
Speaker 10: uncle many times though, But well, actually I have a
Speaker 10: great uncle and a couple of years from now, assuming
Speaker 10: the Lord gets me extra time, more exercise, I'll be
Speaker 10: a great great uncle because uh, I come for a
Speaker 10: very Catholic family, very small plan. But I'll tell you what,
Speaker 10: Uh they're breeding like well, mate, been breeding pretty quick
Speaker 10: my whole life.
Speaker 2: Look, we can do a whole hour with James, I
Speaker 2: feel pretty easily. I definitely wanted to give James room
Speaker 2: to stretch out and talk to us a little bit.
Speaker 2: Don't want to be rude, but I do have to
Speaker 2: move on, James. But we we really appreciate you. We're
Speaker 2: going to send you some stuff.
Speaker 10: Okay, buddy, all right, take care of the family, your
Speaker 10: pop bone family, take care of the children.
Speaker 4: But oh, y'all, thanks James.
Speaker 10: James.
Speaker 2: By the fact they drove ten hours to make sure
Speaker 2: Abby didn't have a party by herself, amazing. That's why
Speaker 2: that guy gets to talk for fifteen minutes. And let's
Speaker 2: just sit back and listen.
Speaker 4: And it's like you never know the gain of something
Speaker 4: that happens, like when it's rough. But like Abby benefited
Speaker 4: from his this guy's James's girlfriend's party that she's party
Speaker 4: two years back where nobody showed up and she drank
Speaker 4: too much. Like then that that benefited Abby.
Speaker 2: I always like people started to call 'm my black
Speaker 2: friends too, just to be like, I know you like
Speaker 2: black people. Let me list out your black friends. And
Speaker 2: I have more black friends than that, but you know,
Speaker 2: yeah I can, and I'm like, you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't any I don't think he was doing it
Speaker 2: from home at all. I think he was just like
Speaker 2: you like everybody. And I always think it's funny when
Speaker 2: it's like here's one, here's your one.
Speaker 9: Did think you're talking about your eye's eyes?
Speaker 3: Me too?
Speaker 2: Color blind? And I'm like, I am that color bloe.
Speaker 2: But I just want to state I'm not colorblind toward
Speaker 2: what people go through being different from different places and
Speaker 2: different races, like uh yeah, yeah, I always love onen.
Speaker 2: Some'th like a listen black friends. They forgot Charlemagne, they
Speaker 2: forgot I got like nine others. But there's ever a
Speaker 2: complete list. We can want to do that.
Speaker 4: I'm odd.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I meant.
Speaker 2: I got lots of Mexican friends too. We need to
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 3: We go down that.
Speaker 2: I'm forty okay, man, I had so I had a
Speaker 2: huge list to get to of stuff.
Speaker 4: Real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you? Could you guys hear Scoopa say that
Speaker 2: or just thank you? I do want to talk about stealing.
Speaker 2: We can't. And I know it's nobody here, but I'll
Speaker 2: burn the building down if people start stealing from this office.
Speaker 2: People are taking stuff from my office, which there's no
Speaker 2: I don't put a lot in there. Because of the
Speaker 2: last building we were in, people stole like good stuff,
Speaker 2: meaning it doesn't matter if they're still bad stuff. I'm
Speaker 2: still pissed, but they still like I had. For example,
Speaker 2: I've known Laney Wilson since before she had a record deal,
Speaker 2: and she had written this real nice thing and it
Speaker 2: was like, you know, once artist, if I've had a
Speaker 2: relationship with them, or if like help them or whatever.
Speaker 2: And she definitely didn't need my help. And I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that, but I'm saying like I was a big
Speaker 2: supporter early, early, early, and we had to do show,
Speaker 2: a million dollar show with us, and so she wrote
Speaker 2: this thing about ever somebody stole it out of my office.
Speaker 2: That was just one of many things like that was
Speaker 2: valuable to me because that has like sentimental value. How
Speaker 2: could I get Landy to sign something tomorrow. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: that's that's the point of it. So we started like somebody,
Speaker 2: sy'll raise hot pockets, Oh yeah from the freezer. Yeah,
Speaker 2: even better, Brazer. That was a little different. If anybody starts,
Speaker 2: if we I'll burn the building down. Don't if it's good.
Speaker 2: But what do we know.
Speaker 8: I'm not really sure what's happening, but I sent an
Speaker 8: email to two important people that says the water is
Speaker 8: gone in our green green room. The fridge was stocked
Speaker 8: on Monday, and we had a pack in the cabinet.
Speaker 8: Now nothing. It's not just about the water disappearing, it's
Speaker 8: the principle of it. Someone came into the green you said, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: someone came in my office the ground. Yeah, well, no
Speaker 8: one stole from your office this time.
Speaker 4: Well, the green room is.
Speaker 8: The greenom is still our space. That's why I said,
Speaker 8: this is our space open though. Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 8: You shouldn't walk in someone's your desk and just start
Speaker 8: taking your pencils.
Speaker 2: It's just a little easier to if a place is
Speaker 2: wide open, and.
Speaker 4: You're only going to burn it down if it's your office.
Speaker 2: Because it's locked, someone has to get in there with
Speaker 2: a key and has to know somebody that's different.
Speaker 8: But no one stole from your office this time.
Speaker 2: If I'll just say this about the green room, if
Speaker 2: like you work in this building, they shouldn't take anything
Speaker 2: of ours. There's a wide open community refrigerator. I'll probably
Speaker 2: take water two from that. I'll be honest.
Speaker 4: The green room is not a community refrigerator.
Speaker 2: But it's wide open.
Speaker 8: There's a community fridge in.
Speaker 2: Over here in the green rooms open and there's a
Speaker 2: water and there. I'll probably wouldake one of those. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't burn it down for that.
Speaker 8: You had to take all the waters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that sucks one bottle, sure, take the case.
Speaker 8: My point is like and a full fridge.
Speaker 2: Let's just it's the whole case.
Speaker 3: The whole case.
Speaker 2: They're thirsty they need now, I'm sympathetic to their problem.
Speaker 2: Just ask them office. It totally switches. Yeah, we can't
Speaker 2: have stealing here. I want to I'll not come in.
Speaker 2: You heard me say it. If people start stealing, I'll
Speaker 2: just work from home for the rest of my life.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Okay, okay, And.
Speaker 2: That's up to you guys to figure out what you're.
Speaker 3: Doing and deal with that.
Speaker 2: If they sold the whole case, that's a dirty dog.
Speaker 2: It's somebody's like taking a water too. That's not a
Speaker 2: big deal from like the mate from that area.
Speaker 4: But a whole case isn't a matter of three days,
Speaker 4: all right, it's a lot of water.
Speaker 2: I feel like this is all interrvial so far. But
Speaker 2: what isn't about our show?
Speaker 9: I will say though, Like I walked by one of
Speaker 9: the conference rooms and they had these nice tumblers that
Speaker 9: said iHeartMedia on it and now I thought about getting one,
Speaker 9: but good thing I didn't because they had a meeting
Speaker 9: right after that for all those people.
Speaker 4: They were laid out for people in the meeting community.
Speaker 3: But I did think about it.
Speaker 2: It sounds like community to me.
Speaker 4: Okay, don't see, there was a meeting the other day.
Speaker 4: That room was so full of people and I was like.
Speaker 2: Who, I don't even know who they were?
Speaker 4: All they were yesterday? No I met the dentist. This
Speaker 4: is different. This was like, I don't know. They looked
Speaker 4: like they worked here doing.
Speaker 8: Something there renting space. They rent out space or lett
Speaker 8: people use space to work in office. It's the thing
Speaker 8: I guess in larger cities where you.
Speaker 4: Can use space boardroom sharing.
Speaker 8: It's almost like that we work, but a version of
Speaker 8: that where it's like, hey, come by with my wife,
Speaker 8: for example in San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Figured out, figured it out, we work. Okay, this all
Speaker 4: makes sense now because I feel like I've seen most
Speaker 4: people that work in our office.
Speaker 2: Got microphones and a board recording.
Speaker 4: Okay, this totally you know, it's like shared work space.
Speaker 9: But I saw that show, and that show is awesome,
Speaker 9: Like we worked was cool. They had parties and stuff.
Speaker 4: I mean the documentary that was or the as scripted.
Speaker 2: Show'll show with dared Leto Let's take a while, went
Speaker 2: right and then came back.
Speaker 4: What do they call that when it's a it's a
Speaker 4: real shop.
Speaker 3: A biopic?
Speaker 4: Is that what it's called.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, biopic. We got we got other stuff
Speaker 2: to do, real stuff to do. You yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm good. Oh I'm a seventy five percent here, but
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 4: Oh no, you've already gone up fifteen percent because earlier sixty.
Speaker 3: James did that.
Speaker 2: Let's do and what we're gonna do to just everybody knows.
Speaker 2: I know we're live on the stream right now, but
Speaker 2: we're gonna put this as the second half of the
Speaker 2: podcast that goes up today. Okay, Scooba, when we put
Speaker 2: them this as a whole podcast, yes, but this is
Speaker 2: the second half. It's to the first half because we're
Speaker 2: gonna break in a minute. Okay, but we'll put this
Speaker 2: in the second half because we got like stuffed. Do
Speaker 2: we need to do that? Really? Put this at the front.
Speaker 8: I see what we're saying. Yes, I know where you're
Speaker 8: going with this.
Speaker 2: Thank you, let's go, Ray give me voicemare number four days?
Speaker 11: What up? Bobby Bones? I left you a voicemail about
Speaker 11: a month ago about going to rehabbing Man, Do I
Speaker 11: sound silly being like I'm going for this person and
Speaker 11: I'm doing it for this Hell no, my mind was
Speaker 11: changed very quickly. I am healing myself by myself, for myself,
Speaker 11: and the rest is yet to come. In love, y'all,
Speaker 11: I made it.
Speaker 2: Oh well, I don't know how I feel about that.
Speaker 2: But first of all, death sounds twelve in this clip?
Speaker 2: Does it death sound very young?
Speaker 3: Does a woman got it?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I thought, is there a young boy or a woman?
Speaker 5: But she sounds very excited?
Speaker 2: Played the original for me.
Speaker 11: Hello, Boby Bones.
Speaker 13: I'm currently taking off on a six hour drive to
Speaker 13: the mental health facility in Denver, Colorado, my last chance
Speaker 13: to save my family. I struggled with addiction and mental health.
Speaker 13: My whole life is wondering if you could tell my
Speaker 13: wife Jessica that I love her and I'm going to
Speaker 13: miss her and I'm doing this for her. And this
Speaker 13: was the most gangs three I've ever done. I love you, guys,
Speaker 13: and you're gonna get me through this.
Speaker 2: Thank you sounds more adult there because she's crying, I think,
Speaker 2: and she also mentions wife, which is you have to
Speaker 2: be adult.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 2: I don't like the first voicemail at all. I know
Speaker 2: you guys are like a good I don't like it
Speaker 2: at all. Why do you know how hard it is
Speaker 2: to do it by yourself?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I think what she's saying now, she went, she went,
Speaker 4: she's out, she spent her days there, and she's saying,
Speaker 4: because you encourage. What happened was she sent that note
Speaker 4: and then you said, hey, look, I know that you're
Speaker 4: saying you're doing this for your wife, but you need
Speaker 4: to do it for yourself. And this is her follow
Speaker 4: up message, saying, like, because that's so true, Like if
Speaker 4: you're going to get sober, it has to be for yourself.
Speaker 4: It can't be for anybody else, or it may not stick.
Speaker 2: Can I hear that one again? Then the first one?
Speaker 11: What up, Bobby Bones? I left you a voicemail about
Speaker 11: a month ago about going to rehabing. Man, Do I
Speaker 11: sound silly being like I'm going for this person? I'm
Speaker 11: doing it for this Hell No, my mind was changed
Speaker 11: very quickly. I am healing myself by myself, for myself,
Speaker 11: and the rest is yet to come. In love, y'all,
Speaker 11: I made it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she made it through the program. So she went
Speaker 4: to Denver, she made it out, and I think quickly
Speaker 4: there she learned, Oh, I need to be doing this
Speaker 4: for myself.
Speaker 3: Got it.
Speaker 4: Nobody can do this for me, So I've got to
Speaker 4: do it by myself and for myself.
Speaker 2: But obviously I just buy myself is where I got.
Speaker 4: I see how that's confusing, But I just remembered what
Speaker 4: you told her after the first voicemail was what which
Speaker 4: was that, Yeah, that's great you're wanting to do this,
Speaker 4: but do this for yourself, because she was like, I'm
Speaker 4: doing it for my wife and it's yeah, it has
Speaker 4: to be for yourself.
Speaker 2: Then that's awesome. Yeah, because my initial actually you can't
Speaker 2: do it by yourself.
Speaker 4: Correct like correct, you need support, but which it seems
Speaker 4: like she got the support, and that's when she also
Speaker 4: quickly realized that, oh, I can't do this for I mean,
Speaker 4: sure you want, you want to sober up for your family,
Speaker 4: that makes sense, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: it has to be for you.
Speaker 2: That's why I wish today we're Thanksgiving, why, because I'm
Speaker 2: thankful for you to set me straight on that problem.
Speaker 3: Walked right into that it can be Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: No, it can't be. Sure a few days ago anything.
Speaker 4: You practicing gratitude as you doing your Thanksgiving, so that's
Speaker 4: what you call it.
Speaker 2: You don't have to have turkey and all that, though,
Speaker 2: But I haven't had a meal in a few days, so.
Speaker 3: That's why you're saying this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all. Hey, look, I just root for you
Speaker 2: to have the support that you need. This is one
Speaker 2: of those situations, just from dealing with personal experience, that
Speaker 2: you need support, and I hope you got it, and
Speaker 2: I hope you have it, and I hope you are
Speaker 2: doing it for you, because then you will be doing
Speaker 2: it for everybody else like it can you're doing, you'll
Speaker 2: be doing it for you and it will affect everybody else.
Speaker 2: I should say, great, I'm glad Amy interpreted that because
Speaker 2: I did not interpret that correctly. Okay, let's see what else.
Speaker 9: That first voicemail is tough to hear though. Man's just
Speaker 9: driving there.
Speaker 2: And I really hope that's what happened. That's what she did.
Speaker 2: I want to say that about cursing. Somebody had DM
Speaker 2: me said there hear me curse on them like a
Speaker 2: podcast or something. I didn't, But I don't care. Like
Speaker 2: cursing to me is not bad. I want people to
Speaker 2: understand something about me and not cursing. I haven't cursed
Speaker 2: in my definition of cursing in I don't know, seven
Speaker 2: eight years at this point. I don't not curse because
Speaker 2: I think cursing is bad. I don't not curse because
Speaker 2: there are certain disciplines I like to have inside of
Speaker 2: me to just stay sharp, and there are things if
Speaker 2: I like pissing off people like well that's curse word, yeah,
Speaker 2: but to you. But I don't not curse because I
Speaker 2: think there is something inherently wrong with a word I
Speaker 2: like to. So if I curse, big deal, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I like when people don't curse I'm like, White, why
Speaker 2: don't you curse your little whim. I don't curse because
Speaker 2: when I was writing kids books and I was doing
Speaker 2: a bunch of comedy and I was writing, even doing
Speaker 2: this show, we don't curse in the studio. So I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm just gonna discipline myself to not say
Speaker 2: any curse words. And the curse words, to me are
Speaker 2: the ones that would get me fine. By the FCC,
Speaker 2: the S word, the F word, the C word. That's
Speaker 2: a tough one, and that's that's not even really a
Speaker 2: curse word. She's a nasty one.
Speaker 4: Oh that's the worst.
Speaker 2: That's a nasty one. Those to me, that's cursing. And
Speaker 2: it's not because I feel like not cursing makes me
Speaker 2: better or more in favor in God's eyes in any
Speaker 2: way whatsoever. Because I think a sound is just a sound.
Speaker 2: Oh got the word, And with that, I would compare
Speaker 2: it to this. If I say the F word and
Speaker 2: I say it, that's a sound. If I were to
Speaker 2: travel to Pakistan or Paris, or to somebody who doesn't
Speaker 2: speak place it doesn't speak English, I don't know English,
Speaker 2: and I say that same word, it means nothing to them.
Speaker 3: There's nothing.
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying, they don't speak English, so it doesn't
Speaker 2: matter what the word is. Let me just go for
Speaker 2: a second. So you can say any curse word in
Speaker 2: English if they don't understand another language. To them, that's
Speaker 2: just a sound, the same way they would say a
Speaker 2: word in Mandarin and we wouldn't know what that was,
Speaker 2: just a sound. So there is nothing inherently bad about
Speaker 2: a sound. But if I went to a country that
Speaker 2: did not speak English and I stole, well, there is
Speaker 2: something inherently bad about stealing or killing or like. Those
Speaker 2: are actually bad things that, regardless of boundaries of where
Speaker 2: you live language culture, like those are bad regardless. Words
Speaker 2: are just words. I feel like I'd say every sound.
Speaker 2: I could say every curse word ever, and it makes
Speaker 2: me know better or worse than anybody else that's anywhere
Speaker 2: near me or far from me. So if I do
Speaker 2: happen to say a curse word, which I haven't, I
Speaker 2: don't give a because it's not about that. It literally
Speaker 2: is not about me. I don't care. I'm doing a
Speaker 2: moral thing. People that claim moral are often the opposite
Speaker 2: because the people that live moral don't have to claim moral.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know who is the meanest in my
Speaker 2: Instagram comments or TikTok comment and not TikTok so much,
Speaker 2: but Instagram comments or uh, Twitter or Facebook people that
Speaker 2: publicly proclaim Bible verses in there or only loving the
Speaker 2: next person next to me. You don't need to say
Speaker 2: that stuff if you're living that stuff. So whenever someone
Speaker 2: is like I heard him curse, he said a hypocrite. No,
Speaker 2: I'm a hypocrite. I curse all day if I want to.
Speaker 2: I don't think it makes me better or worse than you.
Speaker 2: Probably probably worse than you anyway. But there's no way
Speaker 2: you curse though. There's no way. Oh I know my
Speaker 2: version of course. But to some people, like say, pizzing
Speaker 2: off is curse or.
Speaker 4: Did the d d I s kay.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you've said, well, I won't talk about that as
Speaker 2: a human body part, but I'm like that dude is
Speaker 2: such a dick, Like I don't feel like that. Also,
Speaker 2: that's not about That's not a curse word to me.
Speaker 2: It could be a word that is.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say around a kid. I wouldn't be like
Speaker 2: lunch box in a car with that these kids, right,
Speaker 2: like you know, like I would never say that around
Speaker 2: a kid, But I don't consider that to be a
Speaker 2: curse word to me, so therefore I don't say it
Speaker 2: because it's a self discipline right. The same thing with
Speaker 2: the P word. I would never refer to a woman's
Speaker 2: body part, but if somebody is like a whimp every once,
Speaker 2: so I'll be like, why you minchedja posy? Come on?
Speaker 2: But I but I would say, there's a different I
Speaker 2: would never refer to a guy's body part as that
Speaker 2: with a D word, or a woman's body part as
Speaker 2: that was but.
Speaker 4: Unattractive.
Speaker 2: But I'm just showing there's no rationale to this. There
Speaker 2: are no rules that I'm right or wrong about. I'm
Speaker 2: living by my standards that I've set myself and everybody
Speaker 2: else can suck. I'm just kidding. But but yeah, that's that's
Speaker 2: the deal. So I got to tell DM about it. It
Speaker 2: was like, you say you don't curse, but we heard
Speaker 2: you say the f R and I'm like, no, you didn't.
Speaker 2: First of all, no chance, there's no.
Speaker 4: Chance, no chance.
Speaker 2: Secondly, who cares. I wouldn't say it on the air
Speaker 2: because I don't want to get the fine by the sec.
Speaker 9: Well, like, could you go into like a board meeting
Speaker 9: like in a company and be.
Speaker 2: Like, all right, here's the deal, like yes, something or
Speaker 2: human like a human.
Speaker 3: I feel like automatically they'd be like whoa, WHOA.
Speaker 4: Well, it depends on It's on the culture.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: It depends on the culture that's set early. It's just
Speaker 2: like even had football coaches. There are some that are
Speaker 2: f F f F and that's the culture, and there
Speaker 2: are some that are exactly the opposite of that. Or
Speaker 2: I would say, let's let's not use bad words, let's
Speaker 2: use demeanor. If we're ever after a show and I
Speaker 2: just start screaming at everybody, and I'm like, what would
Speaker 2: that tell you about me that day? Amy? If I
Speaker 2: if I'm so mad and I'm just yelling at at
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say you, I've never yelled at you,
Speaker 2: but I'm just saying if I'm like, but I'm yelling,
Speaker 2: what would you.
Speaker 4: Think I based on your demeanor? I would think something
Speaker 4: is wrong with you. It's really bad. Like also like
Speaker 4: maybe like I don't know, we need to check him
Speaker 4: in somewhere, like something totally off if you're screaming or yelling,
Speaker 4: because that's not the way.
Speaker 2: You or somebody here did something that was completely detrimental
Speaker 2: to what the entire our world is that we built,
Speaker 2: and it must be something so severe it's never happened.
Speaker 2: I have never just yelled at anyone. I've never, but
Speaker 2: if I did, it would be like I'm not okay
Speaker 2: or something is really not okay here, right, one of
Speaker 2: the two things something to a level. So I would
Speaker 2: also think if you go into a boardroom and there's
Speaker 2: a boardroom, when we have been in boardrooms, we work
Speaker 2: here one day and all of a sudden he's got bordroom.
Speaker 4: Hey, I like going in there. Sometimes I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: I don't know when I'm working.
Speaker 2: On sitting there, like imagine this if a CEO who
Speaker 2: doesn't all of a sudden it's like we gotta f
Speaker 2: and do this, and you're like, oh, this is serious today, yes,
Speaker 2: like way more than ever before.
Speaker 4: Well, if you're saying it like that, if you were
Speaker 4: to say that, I'd be like, okay, he means business.
Speaker 4: But if you're like going off and angry, then that
Speaker 4: would be weird.
Speaker 2: Because it's same same because the culture has been said
Speaker 2: of what you don't do. So when the culture is
Speaker 2: shifted to where it never is, something is really off.
Speaker 2: Either the person or the situation, and it's got to
Speaker 2: be fixed right. And the person could be the person
Speaker 2: saying it, or the person receiving it, or the situation
Speaker 2: of everyone involved. Anyway, it makes me want to curse,
Speaker 2: just to start cursing, to piss everybody off. I only
Speaker 2: do it for me. I don't do it for anybody else.
Speaker 2: I don't do it to be like, oh, he doesn't curse.
Speaker 2: I do it because I'm like, I don't want to
Speaker 2: slip up in a situation. Or when I was writing
Speaker 2: a lot of jokes, be able to use that as
Speaker 2: a crutch for humor. That's where a lot of it
Speaker 2: came from, because man, you could be so funny with
Speaker 2: the effort. It's it's the funniest word. Yeah, And I
Speaker 2: was like, I don't want to do that. It's also
Speaker 2: very therapeutic, and I wanted to work completely clean, so
Speaker 2: I could. I could do private because they pay a
Speaker 2: ton of money when a company brings you out to
Speaker 2: tell jokes to a thousand workers at X company. So
Speaker 2: that's what it is. So f off everybody.
Speaker 9: What's funny is like my wife and I don't curse
Speaker 9: obviously around our kids. But the second we're alone, we're
Speaker 9: sailors all of a sudden, it's so weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lunchbox walks a very fine line though, of doing
Speaker 2: it close to the door, and at times you can
Speaker 2: almost hear it in here. And that's why we don't.
Speaker 2: We don't. Nobody's allowed to curse in this room at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a no no in this room.
Speaker 4: I know that we're not even close on air, just.
Speaker 2: In case the implications of it being on the air.
Speaker 2: So there's no cursing here. But that's also not a
Speaker 2: moral thing. That's a we don't want to go to
Speaker 2: to SCC jail.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but lunchwgs, do you cuss on your kids?
Speaker 5: I'm not on purpose? Well no, but your kid, my kid,
Speaker 5: you know he knows how to use.
Speaker 1: Some of them.
Speaker 2: Okay, imagine you're saying they slip out.
Speaker 6: Yea, that happens like you drop somethe on your foot.
Speaker 5: It's hard to say, Oh, oh, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't really let it slip out, mrmay Kit. I mean,
Speaker 4: I guess I have accidentally, But the other day I
Speaker 4: used one intentionally because I needed to You needed to
Speaker 4: know I meant business and I was dead serious about
Speaker 4: what I was saying, and I added it in and
Speaker 4: I even said, yeah, you heard me say that, because
Speaker 4: it needs you to know how serious I am.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it would be like if I
Speaker 2: came in and we're like, what the you guys be like, Oh,
Speaker 2: like something real.
Speaker 4: Bad to happen, and yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, soire's what we're gonna do. Because this we just
Speaker 2: like half an hour, We're gonna have to break for
Speaker 2: a few minutes, so we're gonna go off the stream.
Speaker 2: We're gonna this is the end of the podcast though,
Speaker 2: but if you guys are watching YouTube or whatever, we're
Speaker 2: gonna be back in a few minutes and we'll do
Speaker 2: the beginning of the show. But uh, everybody got on
Speaker 2: all those things. Oh yeah okay, And by the way,
Speaker 2: become a partner and hope why the f not? Uh,
Speaker 2: that would be awesome if you would not. Seriously, We've
Speaker 2: we spent the whole show today doing the radiothon for
Speaker 2: Saint Jude, and we feel like we owe it to
Speaker 2: you guys that also come to us for content to
Speaker 2: do a separate side show, which is what we're doing here.
Speaker 2: So if you guys can become a partner and hope
Speaker 2: if you don't listen to the show that's live in
Speaker 2: the morning, please do text the word Bobby to seven
Speaker 2: eight five eight three three. That would be awesome. Seven
Speaker 2: eight five eight three three. You get the Pimpa Joy
Speaker 2: sweatshirt you it's nineteen bucks a month. You help kids,
Speaker 2: And the whole thing with helping kids is that it
Speaker 2: helps our families. Nobody pays a bill at Saint Jude.
Speaker 2: A parent, you don't. They're no bills because the partners
Speaker 2: in hope. And there are times I understand people like, well,
Speaker 2: I want to don it to my local hospital, and
Speaker 2: that's great, love it, do it, But Saint Jude's not
Speaker 2: local to us. But the reason that we are so
Speaker 2: involved in Saint Jude is because it's local to everybody
Speaker 2: in the way. They take kids from every single city
Speaker 2: in the whole country, and all you need is to
Speaker 2: have a cancer that they research, diagnose, try to heal.
Speaker 2: Heal is not the word what I'm looking.
Speaker 4: For, like heal, okay, fair enoughs and treat.
Speaker 2: Treat good, thank you from it and they go immediately
Speaker 2: and all the bills are paid for. So it's Is
Speaker 2: it in your town probably not? Does it help your
Speaker 2: town absolutely? Yes, and all the research that they do
Speaker 2: because a lot of hospitals they do research so they
Speaker 2: can have and almost own that, so people have to
Speaker 2: go to the hospital. Saint Jude doesn't do that. That
Speaker 2: research goes out to every hospital. That's why we are
Speaker 2: involved with Saint Jude. So, but sometimes you don't have
Speaker 2: the ability to do it. Trust me, been there. It's
Speaker 2: nineteen bucks a month. Also, sometimes you're just like, I
Speaker 2: want to do this because it's important to me, and
Speaker 2: that's great too. So we're just saying, if you want
Speaker 2: to be a partner and hope that would be awesome,
Speaker 2: nineteen bucks a month, text that Bobby to seven eight
Speaker 2: five eight three three and you'll get a link when
Speaker 2: you text that. I should say that you'll get a
Speaker 2: link back from Saint Jude because it won't like take
Speaker 2: out of your phone bill and you get a link
Speaker 2: from Saint Jude and then you fill it out and
Speaker 2: it takes nineteen bucks a month after that, Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2: We're ending the podcast now.
Speaker 3: This is it.
Speaker 2: Hope you enjoyed the first half, which we haven't done yet,
Speaker 2: but if you're listening to the podcast, you already heard it,
Speaker 2: all right. Bye,
