I 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:12.280 want to share some stories with you. We're gonna about 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.720 half hour here The Bobby Cast A bought to you 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.040 by a Sleep number and Wagwalker, two things that are 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.000 very near and dear to my heart. I'm gonna talk 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.360 about my trip to Haiti. Let's say this before I 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:28.400 get into it. I too years ago, before Amy started 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.639 going to eighty, I thought, man, there are a lot 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:33.479 of people here in that estates that are poor. I 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.120 still have include when I was a kid, really poor, 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:37.800 like well we were by other people. I don't feel 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:39.640 that way now Amy has change my perspective and I 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:41.760 and even now even more software going over there, my 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.560 perspective changed. And not that anyone's value is more or less, 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:52.080 but the whole they're supposed to be borders with poverty 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.920 is weird to me, meaning everyone's like, you know, I'd 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:59.120 like to help people they're close. With that logic, if 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:04.960 your neighbor was sick three houses down, but your next 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:06.959 door neighbor was sick, that means you would only help 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:08.760 your next door neighbor first before you went to the 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.920 one three houses down. But who's closer to you? Matters. 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:16.440 Apparently two people mostly like anything. Help help someone in 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.880 your community, don't you know? It's like St. Jude's and 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.720 Memphis and people go by. You know, I just help kids, 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.840 and you know, wherever I am, that's great. I think 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:25.600 you should. But it shouldn't be an excuse not to 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.720 help somewhere else, and it shouldn't be a reason for 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.840 you to get angry. It's someone for helping somewhere wherever 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:32.679 they go. It doesn't matter how far they are from you, 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.680 doesnt matter where they live, they're ten miles. Is someone 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:39.200 ten miles from you more important than someone three hundred 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.200 miles from you. That's a real question, and that's something 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.920 that I've had to struggle and ask myself, because I 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.960 too was like, I want all my money to say 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.960 right here in my town, help my people. But then 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:52.320 you start to go out of town. And it started 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.120 for me after traveling around the United States and playing 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:56.880 at hospitals all over the country and then playing the 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:00.280 Saint Jude to Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee radio shows, not there 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.360 like I mean, I have no personal affiliation there until 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.360 I went and realized that Saint Jude was a place 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.119 where everybody comes for all over the world for free. 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:13.280 I was like, oh, man, I didn't know this. I 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:17.280 was just so uneducated. And um, I feel like I've 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.079 been able to educate myself in a lot of ways. Again. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.960 I go play hospital in Boston, I go play hospital 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.120 in Dallas, a play hospital, and I don't say, like, 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.639 look at all the hospitals I'm playing, But I'm just 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:29.240 saying it doesn't really matter where people are. If people 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:34.400 want to help someone else, like, that's great, that's it. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.880 That's just great because they could help nobody. People will 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.520 get mad at Amy all the time, like why are 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.200 you helping kids over me? Why doesn't what if she helped? No? 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:48.919 Would you rather help nobody? So my perspective change changed 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.880 over the years. I maybe a thing here. Let's see, 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.959 oh sleep number. You've heard me talking about my sleep 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.080 number bed and how well I sleep.

Speaking 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:03.240 of bed went to the Orphan. They have little mattresses 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.680 and no pillows, no blankets. They just slip on the 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.640 straight up of the mattress sped on the floor. Um, 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.000 and I'll get to that. I guess my point was 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.120 at the very beginning of this how many notes or anything, 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:19.240 is that I would see people get angry at Amy 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.240 first years ago, then at me later when I would 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:26.599 help hospitals that weren't in the town I was living 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.840 in our hospitals that people weren't in the town. Or 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.360 it would be like, man, like I used to think, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.120 the same thing I would to be. I wouldn't be 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:34.919 mad at them. I would just be like, man, I 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:41.160 wish you could see that humans just are human. You 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:45.040 can help anybody that's awesome, Like there's not there shouldn't 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.080 be a line or a body of water that you 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:48.880 cross and all of a sudden they're not as important, 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.000 or the further away they are, they're not as important, 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:56.799 Like distance makes them less important. And so I credit 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.680 one Amy first to open them my eyeballs to that absolutely, 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.359 And secondly, a lot of great people that have said, hey, 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.680 come to these hospitals. And so I've been lucky enough 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.640 to do that. I've done. I'm on and I'm on 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.800 the National Board of Musicians on Call, which is a 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.720 fantastic organization, and um, obviously we do a lot of 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.040 Saint Jude. So I decided, let me just get to 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.920 the guts of the story here. After that little soapbox, 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.799 I decide that weeks ago I was gonna go to Haiti, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:24.480 and all of a suff you here on the ear 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.680 over the past week was all just me stringing Amy 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.440 into a bet already having it planned. You knew that, right. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:32.720 And I had a lot of few people know how 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.159 to call my doctor because I had to get I 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:36.479 was like, what do I have to get shots at 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.320 my penis? Like what I have to do? Because I 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.880 was I was scared. I was scared for many reasons. 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.680 Why because they have to take medicine just to go there, 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.120 And it's scary to take medicine just to go somewhere. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.560 There are many places in your life where you have 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.080 to take a month prescription just to step foot on 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.839 the land. And so it's like, yeah, you have to 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.400 take a month of malaria medicine. And I'm like just 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.200 to go there for a weekend that yeah, And so 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.560 again it was important to Amy. So I was like, okay, 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.800 because you can have crazy dreams and man, and I 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.320 had to take it like the week before I went, 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.680 and I'm still taking it crazy dreams. You and I 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.960 would nake it about three out the last four nights, Mike, Yeah, 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:22.280 I know, not really just a different scenario. So, um, 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.360 I'll be serious. Uh two and a half weeks so ago, 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.920 I said, Okay, I'm going to Haiti. It was really 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.839 the only weekend that I had off was this past 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.360 weekend because I get back on the road and do 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.320 some get back on the road doing stand up comedy, 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:36.599 get back on the road doing um raging idiot stuff. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:42.200 So and so I let my doctor no, Mike new 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.760 And I think at the that point that was just 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.800 about it. And Mary Mary my friend, who um were 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.719 you clothing together? Um? We do Pama joy together? You 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.520 know it's me her and Amy do Pima joy um. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.440 Because she'd been there, I need somebody because Amy's houseband 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:02.120 couldn't go. He's his name to go and I would 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:03.919 have taken I would have went with Amy. But she 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:05.479 told me on the air right it I was about 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.120 to book the trip that she could not go back. 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.159 She said, the last time I left was the last 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:10.400 time that I'm gonna be able to go until we 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:11.920 get our kids because they expected to get their kids 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.440 rather soon. And she was like, I can't go back 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:18.000 because they were devastated that they came and then left again. 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.600 And so I was like, oh, whoa, that's crest. That's weird. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:24.960 So now I have to kind of go by myself, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.280 but I'm still gonna go committed to going. I mean, 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.680 the best friends of the whole life. And so I'm like, 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:36.480 all right. So Mary from California flew to Atlanta and 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.120 I was nervous as nervous for a whole week beforehand, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:40.680 but I knew I was going, and I want her 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.119 to lure Amy into something. And I was like, stuff, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.520 how went would get a tattoos? She was like yeah, 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.680 because you know I wasn't gonna go secretly, I was 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.880 already planning, and so she agrees, and it's funny. I 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:56.320 don't know what's gonna happen there, but um, I wanted 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.400 to play music. I don't take my guitar and play 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:02.120 with the orphans for kids and so called. Nikita, who 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.280 is Australian, is singer songwriter in town and really good friend. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:07.920 She plays in The Raging Idiots, something she opens for 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.520 me on stand up comedy x um. So I was like, hey, 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.400 let's go to Haiti, and she was, you know, she 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:17.160 strives like Haiti. Never been there. Okay, So then she 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.960 was like, I gotta take medicine for a month. I 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.880 was like, yeah, I know. And so we you know, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.880 our plan was to fly down Friday morning, like like 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:28.600 the flight was like nine thirty or something. I was 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.160 going to leave the show a little bit early, and 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.280 so you know, sometimes if I have to leave earlier, 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.040 it's don all record the last thirty or forty five 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:39.800 minutes the show. And so I recorded the last part 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.880 of the show. I was ready to go, and then 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.520 I got a note beforehand said, uh, your flight's been canceled. 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.120 I got a note canceled, not delayed, canceled, and I 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.320 was like, how is it canceled? Kindly, some people get 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.200 sick on the flight, and to people get sick, they 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:58.200 couldn't fly it down to Atlanta. So that was the 0:08:58.200 --> 0:08:59.839 only option to get me there, to get me to Haiti, 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:01.880 unless I took the one like an hour and a 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.079 half before, which meant I had to record I don't know, 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.320 the hour and half of the show really quickly. So 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.360 I did, I Amy and I went in the studio. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.199 Bam bam bam, knocked it out. Luckily we had that 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.560 dance party. We knocked out the show. Jumped in the car, 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:19.440 flat tire, stuck, so I'm like, it's not already slept 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:24.040 in dog crab, flat tire. Like. Uh, got to the airport, 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:28.200 couldn't get on that flight. So my normal flight was 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:30.240 the delay like two and a half hours. Couldn't make 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.200 it down to I got it on the next flight, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.160 made it under Atlanta, but I miss my connector to Haiti. 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.880 One flight in Haiti, so I had to spend the 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.200 night in Atlanta at an hotel Atlanta. So what was 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.160 gonna be all day Friday, a day, Saturday night, all 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.600 day Saturday, all day Sunday. So we get to porta 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:49.080 Prints which is in Haiti, and uh, I don't know 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.679 what I was getting into. I've been to the Bahamas 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.000 different and they're some they're kind of close. Bamas are 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:57.800 a lot closer, but it's like the Bahamas and there's 0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.079 I was looking at the map because I don't know 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.720 where I was, Like I was there and I really 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.760 had no idea where I was on the map. So 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.800 I'm like Google in the map and it's like over 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.120 the top of Cuba, which is past the Mahamas, because 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.199 the Bahamas the right off Florida and I've been to 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:14.760 the Bahamas before and I was looking at it and um, 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:19.200 the land. We get off the plane and everyone you 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:23.680 had to wear covered shoes and um. We met security there. 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.800 Andy's husband who got a security because I was like, 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.480 I don't care what it costs, I'll pay for security. 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:28.840 I'm not. I don't want to get shot. I don't 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.360 I don't know what's happening. It's secured to that, and 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.840 it was. It was Mayhem's Mayhem. It was at the airport, 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.320 like I mean, there's just people are screaming everywhere, like 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:43.560 they're not even lines. They're like, what's happening? And so 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.680 I'm wide eyed. They lost my bags, so I'm looking 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.000 for my bag. There there are bags just laying on 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:50.920 the ground like they're just taking them and throw them 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.520 off the car under the ground, and I'm like, man, 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.880 there's like nothing I've ever been in before. So I'm 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.760 already spooked a little bit. Rat the bag finally found 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.000 my back. Niki defines their bag and we get into 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.160 the rental car. The roads there they're not. They're not 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.800 American roads. There aren't two lanes, they have holes in 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.720 the middle of them. They have huge drops like you 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.600 think roads are bad in certain states because there's not 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.080 enough taxes going into it. Ten time force in that here, 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.800 and there are no stop signs, no traffic lights. There 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.880 are four ways we used to haunk Kong Kong Kong, 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:27.640 Kong Kongong. Make sure abody looking at you go through. 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.760 And there are people standing out in the middle of 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:38.800 the road always it's weird. They're weird. Um, just I've 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.840 never seen there'll be no rules like that. There are 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.440 people outside of any kind of stores to go with 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.240 the shotgun. Went to the grocery store at one point 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.640 two guys with shotguns just standing right out tot of 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:53.080 front of the store, just twelve games, shotguns, pumps just 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:57.959 sitting there. When ms some groceries, but but stuff with 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.839 the kids, candy, cookie stuff like that. Um. I went 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.960 to the orphanage for the first day and didn't really 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.520 know what I was getting into again. Never been. But 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.719 you have to go up to the nowk and this 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.880 big metal gate and they opened it. It's like threefold. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.080 And the guy we're with is pretty well known around town. 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.520 He's like, hey, it's me. So we're going to the orphanage. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.120 They shut that gate and there's another gate you get 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.760 to that gate. It's to keep people from going in 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:28.839 and like robbing the place because they make bread in there. Um, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.040 so go in and you cant have the truck. And 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:37.840 it's just kids everywhere, not not even in a not 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:43.720 like warm nice kids everywhere. It's hot. It's obviously there's 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.520 no air conditioning. There's just a a thing of the air conditioning. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.360 Even their beds aren't. There's no air conditioning ever, and 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.199 so a bunch of kids in every room. They're like 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:56.880 different age groups. One room had like through you know, 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:01.079 babies to three year olds, boys and girls. But then 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.400 once they got older they started to split. No this 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.280 age you know, different rooms, different little buildings, but all 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:13.240 in rather a small area like three small buildings. Everything 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.960 was was like that. All the kids just wanted to 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.800 be held. Everybody wanted to be held, like they would 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.640 just run up to you and just jump in your arms. 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.560 And the first you were like, do they want something? 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:26.760 But what they wanted it was just any sort of 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.960 affection at all because they don't get it. They have 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.360 a few nannies there. They're watching. Amy said, seventy kids. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.120 All I saw three nannies watching seventy kids. So there's 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.439 And another thing that I noticed was they had a 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:45.360 bag and the bags had candy and cookies and the 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.440 and they went into them and we were like boom. 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:48.839 They were just grab a grab, grab, and I was like, 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.320 oh boy, here we go. And they started passing about 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.600 to each other. Again, these are kids that don't have anything, 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.400 and instead of grabbing and like stuffing in their pockets, 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.720 are running away with it. They started making sure everybody 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.720 had equal amounts immediately, like you have, you have, you have, 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:04.800 you have, you have, you have, you have, you have, 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.320 And I was like, whoa, this is not like western 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.839 groups of kids. This is not like me. I was 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.920 a kid like at Oreos, I'll take seven. And so 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.360 they all equally passed, and it was very much lookout 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.200 for each other, type of society inside of it. Even 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:24.160 playing basketball, they passed the ball, no balls, there was 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.840 no ball. Hog. Playing basket was amazing. I was they passed, 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.480 they passed it right to me. Wow, So they're not 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.840 that We're all lebron the cist, the cist, the cist 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:38.440 they're crazy. Um, they love iPhones, like nineteen years old. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.520 They know how to use them. They don't have mirrors 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.000 the orphanage, so they never see themselves. So when you 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.000 take a picture, they're like, oh, like they see themselves 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.680 and the picture. That's the timely when they see each other, 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.600 like they see themselves by looking at a picture you took. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.720 So they're fascinating with pictures, and so we took a 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.160 watch selfies. This is what we did so they could 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.080 look at themselves and look and be like oh and laugh. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.520 But as there, I saw one mirror the entire time, 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.200 and it was adult height. You couldn't see it if 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.600 you were a kid, and it was for like the 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:12.520 person whos running the orphanage. So there are no mirrors there. Um. 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.920 I don't know if I ever saw like a water fountain. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.680 I'm sure they have water somehow, I don't know. They 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.480 kept us away from the water because the water was 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:23.920 super clean there. Um. They shared the phones and the 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.600 iPads because we all had our phones, and we let 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:31.880 the kids play with them and they would play a 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.040 game and when they would lose their pass it another 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.240 kid and I was like, this is incredible. I've never 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.280 seen anything like this. They play minecraft, not play it 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.680 pass another kid? What mean they're not getting it back? 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.400 They would just passing another kid. It was the most 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.360 unselfish thing I've ever seen from eight year olds, from 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.640 eleven year old and they just wanted to play. They 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.360 just wanted to be held. They wanted to They love music. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.040 We took a guitars to playing music and they knew 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.000 when I grew up then then up bupp they would 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:02.160 sing it. They loved the strom, the guitar with their hands. 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.200 They just loved any anything UM where it felt like 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.040 you were giving them attention. And so the first day 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.680 came and went and UM since we got their new niche, 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.000 we didn't get a stay the whole time because they 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:15.120 want you out of there by six not out of there, 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.120 want you if you're not from there, going to be 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.560 inside your wherever you're gonna be by like six pms 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.520 what they said. At six seven, we went to dinner. 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.480 UM we took security with us and head of the 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.480 orphanage and we saw Anderson Cooper at dinner andson Cooper 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.480 walked in, which is crazy. And I went dinner with 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.160 um Amy's kids and the head of the orphanage because 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.200 since she wasn't there, he had to be there, which 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.560 is fine with us. We just wanted to go. And 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.480 her son dances like crazy, and it was it was 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.400 weird to me because I've only seen them in videos 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.920 and pictures. They were real life. It was like seeing 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.440 a celebrity You've only seen him on TV forever and 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.720 finally you're like, whoa Like John hamm is in the 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:56.120 airplane next to me, Like you know Danny Gollecki from 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.400 is walking down the street from Big Bang Theory. You know, 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.040 It's what I felt like. I've only seen that for years. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.160 I watched them grow up and now who they are. 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.959 And so we go back to the second day. And 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.160 by the second day, and I know a little bit 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.160 of French, but French in French creole slightly different. So 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.119 I had a kid translator who I could talk to 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:17.920 other kids with and I would be like, hey do 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:19.760 you say but I need to saying. I would repeating 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:26.400 a new numbers on dutoits. I knew um general expressions, bonsois, bonjours, 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.760 I know all the easy stuff and so but I 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.240 had a little translator. We I go and talk to 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:33.920 the kids, talk to the orphan and they had the 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:35.400 orphan engine. I was like, he, how do you get kids? 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:36.960 He said, people should just drop them off the door. 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:38.600 We would take and he said, we're packed right now, 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:40.520 We're full. I can't take any more kids, he said, 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.880 but they have to go to the government now. So 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:44.880 they go to the government and the government feeds them 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.840 over and that's how they have kids. And they were 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.400 maxed out at whatever the number they were maxed out there, 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.280 and so uh, the second day we win, and we 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.600 took a bunch of when I grew up, t shirts 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.199 and markers and colored that, posted some pictures on the 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.919 ground and play ball. And again, they just liked to 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.800 do things. I know, it sounds like it's nothing like, 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.040 what's the thing it's like to do anything? Anything that's 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:15.520 not every day? Just sitting outside and U when I 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.560 was leaving, and it was really the only time that 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.160 because the whole thing to me was just like, Wow, 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.480 You've never seen anything like this. I've never I've never 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.840 seen poverty at that level. I've seen poverty a lot 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:31.600 of levels myself. When I was a kid um where 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:33.879 I wouldn't always have three mills a day. We'd take 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.080 a mill at school sometimes because you just want me. 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.240 The kid didn't have a meal, especially in high school, 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:43.040 like junior high. Mostly high school was working. But it's 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.280 it's nothing like this. They share clothes. It's like they 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.560 get washed by the nannies and they just grab some clothes. 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:55.240 They eat basically rice every day, so there's no protein, 0:18:56.000 --> 0:19:00.680 so it seems some of them are underdeveloped. Um, it 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:02.920 was just from someone who grew up in a pretty 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:09.399 poor place. This is a different level. And in general 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.920 they were happy and not happy because they had a lot, 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:18.520 happy because their attitude was it was just different than 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.640 what we have. We're very much a me me, me, 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.560 me me society and there I let's all take care 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.439 of each other. And they were they were they were 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.399 happy kids. Some kids fell down and started crying, like 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.560 seven kids. Remember to make sure it's okay, because I 0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:36.160 was like, whoa, this is not what happens in America. 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.639 And so when I was leaving, it was the time 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.199 when it hit me. I was because I just like, 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.240 I'm going to say as numb as possible, I know 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.040 I'm gonna se Amy's kids in the next month, two months, 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.199 three months, whenever, So I'm going to meet them and 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.520 it was really for Amy. I owed it to her, 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:53.719 and um, I was leaving, and I was like, this 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:57.320
