Speaker 1 (00:02):
To what would you talk about on your on your podcast?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Fine morning show?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Who's ready for a Monday morning quarterback podcast?

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Talk football?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
But I think we should start with Gandhi.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
You had something you wanted to bring up.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Oh, I mean I didn't really want to bring it up.
I was really just talking to you.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
But I guess you are.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
It's never told. I don't have to say it.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
I'll say it.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
So when somebody asks.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
You, really, yeah, somebody asks to borrow money?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
How much was it?

Speaker 5 (00:44):
It was five to ten thousand dollars a large it's
a big range. And the ensuing here, I'll just show
you how long the text message was about what it's for.
The thing is like, it could be very are.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
You ready on the name there?

Speaker 5 (00:58):
No, it was all of those things where you had
to like, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, it's like a novel.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, I've seen those texts before.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
Yeah, yeah, so much.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
You sent those texts before.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
And I know this person is going through something right now.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
A lot of.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
It to me does signal issues of other sorts besides
obviously what he's just talking about, which I have dealt
with one hundred thousand times in my life, and I
know how this goes. And I also know once you
borrow or you lend somebody money, I expect to never
get it back. And that is just not a sum
of money that I'm willing to part with and not
get back.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Hey, yeah, I made the mistake of giving somebody money
one time. How much money? No? No, no no. It
was a former professional athlete and I had become friends
with him, and he made way more money than I
ever made, and I guess he. I later found out
that they had gambled it away. I gave them it

(01:53):
was less than a thousand, it was more than five hundred.
So I made the initial give and they called and
asked me for more about two weeks later.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah, oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
And then another person that played on that team called
me and said, hey, do not give them another dime
that they owe me over ten granted.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
So yeah, I'm never gonna see that money again.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
When someone says can I borrow, to take the borrow
out of the sentence, because if you get back you're lucky.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Well yeah, it's like when someone comes in here and says,
can I borrow a tissue?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
I'm not getting that back.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Shut up, Scott either, shut up I would have, but
we used to throw the word borrow around and.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
You know tissue is worth four cents.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Okay, well can I throw this back to Gandhi? What
is the Is there a sum of money you would
be willing to give this person?

Speaker 5 (02:41):
So this is where I get torn because part of
me is like, okay, well I can give you X amount.
But also I know whatever it is that I give
to this person, I'm never going to see back. So
how much money am I willing to just throw out
a problem that I know is a much deeper issue
than what's going on right now? I don't know. I've
done this so many times in my life. I have
given away so much money to so many people. I
continue to do it, and it's very stupid, and I

(03:03):
need to be smarter about myself and like what I
care about for my life.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
It's very Sometimes you think you're helping that person by
giving them money, but in reality, you're just furthering their problems. Yeah, right, Froggy.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
I learned that if this is something that this person
owes ten thousand or more dollars, and I'm willing to
say I'll give you one thousand, that's still just a
blip on the radar for whatever's going on.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well, and you don't know how many other people they
are going down the list of like okay, Gandhi said, yes,
I'll go through her money. Then I'll go to the
next person, and they just keep going and keep Like
you said, Frog, it could be more detrimental than anything.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Just like throwing the arrows at a dartboard. They're literally
just throwing as many as they can. And if they
ask thirty people and ten people say yes, then they
got money.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Well scary, and I at somebody in our past, Yes
that still owes us both money.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yes, absolutely, Are you guys gonna break their knees? Why
don't we have new faggers?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
So I actually got to that because I had let
him borrow. I had loaned him so much I literally
threatened physical violence.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Uh, just the ballpark.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
It was.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
It was a healthy sum of money, yes, and.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Then and then and then and then he came to
me for that same summ of money. And also he
hit up Garrett.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yes, so Garrett.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Gave it to him, and then you.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Gave it to some of This person doesn't work here anymore.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
But I did get the vast majority of my money
back because I threatened physical vice.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
You threatened soon physically and they took it seriously.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
So I believe what I said was I don't know
what I'm going to do, but I'm going to do something.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
And it got the point across Nate. Was it more
than a thousand? Yes? Was it more than five thousand?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
No?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
No, it was close to that some I think so
the way well, it's yes. The way it started was
you know it was it was started as a business
transaction and then it turned into hey can.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
I borrow I need to get it. I need a flight,
and then I'm like.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, and on the way they couch it is, hey,
I need that money to get the other money back,
which hear that phrase.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah that's pretty bad. Yes, And this person.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Borrowing then they're borrowing from Scary to pay Nate. So
then they got to go steal from somebody else to say.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
That from Garrett. Person got his money back and I
did not you.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
So are you gonna are you gonna bring the legs?

Speaker 1 (05:29):
No? No, because you know, good for Nate, but you
know what Lesson learned for me.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
You know, Nate's got your money. That's where it is.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Your money, get money that, well, you should get Garrett's money,
and then exactly, well, this person used to work here
for a number of years, and.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Uh, we we all know that.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh yes you do.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Do I know this person?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
No? I think it was before your time.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Okay, okay, but it is really kind of sad. Frog.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
You hit it the nail on the head. I mean,
and you too, Gandhi, like you're helping their problem and
sometimes you're unaware of it. Right, Sometimes you hey, can
I borrow some money whatever, But there's a problem brewing
that you have no idea it was there, and you.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Never want to believe it. I'm so stupid. I fall
for it every single time. I'm like, I'll just give
him the benefit of the dell. And my sister every
single time is Jimminy Crickett on my shoulder. It's like,
you are a fucking idiot. Stop doing that.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yep, never give us another person. That other guy called
me and said, hey, did so and so call you.
I said, yeah, he asked you for money. Yeah, don't
give it to him. Wow.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
So where is this person now, Froggy. Ah, he is
still working in the media in some way, shape or form,
doing sports.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
See that's what I don't get Like these people they
owe vast sums of money to other people. Sleep seriously.
And then you see, if I saw the guy out
having dinner Froggy and I was you, I'd be like,
what the fuck you do? And eat?

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh they got out of the bag, and You're like, dude,
you want me money?

Speaker 4 (07:02):
When are you going to the boy?

Speaker 5 (07:03):
Can you ever see him at dinner? You need to
snatch that plate and be like, this is my didn't thing.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
It doesn't live.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
He doesn't live around me now, he doesn't live anywhere
near where I live. However, I didn't see like he
signed a deal with like a media company, and I'm like, yo.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
I could to see Froggy flipping tables and apples my
money so annoyed? O, So you're not doing it.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
No, that was a big range five to ten.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Okay, just what I believe is like a kind of
the crackish part about it. I was like, that was
just like a shot in the dark of question. But
here's okay, I have one question too. Do I tell
him the truth and why I don't want to give
him the money or do I make something up?

Speaker 6 (07:47):
No, make something up, but because it's the easier way out,
and it's kind of a white lie in this case.
But this version is close to you, right, and this
is somebody that normally no, not that close that I
was going to say, is there a threshold where maybe
you say, all right, you know what things are rough.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
For me right now? I'm just you know, barely, my
head is above water, barely.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
And I can give you, I can lend you a thousand,
So you are you comfortable with that?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
No, because you think that you're not going to get that.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
Whatever that dollar amount is, it's not going to fix
what the bigger problem is.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
And they're just going and the money is just going
to go into an abyss.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
I think, so, oh yeah, then there's just there's a lot.
There's a lot at play here.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
It's very I want to say a business proposal.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Oh please give me.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
A time frame you're gonna get paid back? Yeah, it's
it's crazy. Also, you know when people ask for that
sum of money, you could go to a bank for
that sum of money and not prass me. I got
my own problems. I don't know, I'm not going.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
To do it.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
So there's that, all right?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah, are we done. It's the five minute podcast done,
I think.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
So, yeah, we're almost at nine minutes. We don't have
to work tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I feel like we almost didn't work today time.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
Oh wait, are we gonna talk about what happened why
we didn't work today? We're just gonna let it go.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
So many layers short story.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
Yeah, it's a wheatstone We're we're using this wheatstone board here.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Yeah, that was problem a.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
That's and then it's shipped the bed.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
But before we even got here, we came in this
morning and engineer Jeff was under the console on one
side and engineer Josh was under the console on the
other side, and I'm like, ooh, this is not does
not look good. And and when I came behind the board,
although the writing was in gibberis like scrambled eggs, I'm like.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Okay, So the first thirty five minutes was a technical
problem on our end. Yeah uh, And the last two
hours and change was a technical problem on Elvis's end.
So yeah, we did solid forty five minutes of a
show today.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
I know there's a solar flare. I think we need
to figure out because all of the electrical all of
the electronic equipment, whether it's a laptop or it's phones.
Right now, everybody's stuff is like frits and how I'm
