Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time for the good news around the room.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
So I have a little thank you from Mike De's wife,
or thank you from me to her. And something I
thought was super cute that others might want to do
is she brought me some books because I'm reading them
now somethly, grab.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I saw books on your desk this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, And something that's super cute she texted me about
and she's like, hey, on the inside, these aren't from
a library. She's like, but I got these cute little
library cards that I'm putting in And so to all
her friends that borrow the book, like you're going to
sign it, like you're checking it out from her library,
and then oh, you have.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
To give it back.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, I'll give it back to her when I'm done.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh, I thought it just like kept track of everybody
who owned the book and read the book.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I don't know. I guess I haven't gotten specifics from her.
I just thought it was cute, she said. She just
sent me a picture of the library card, which felt
really nostalgic to open it up and see, because this
is how it was. And we went to the library.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Mike has a Dewey decimal system, so she just said.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
She just sent me a text saying like, hey, this
isn't really from a library. It's just something cute that
I'm adding to my books. And I was like, that
is so fun. So yeah, either maybe we pass it
around or I give it back to her. I'm not
sure what she would prefer, but she gave me two
of them, so I.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Don't want books back. If multip people have been fingering them,
you know what I mean? I like reading them, touching them,
their fingers touching them. No, because books are very fingery.
It's just like and then people. Yes, that's what I'm saying,
it's just touching.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But from a library. We would all get books from
the library or like.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Our boll nine.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh, just now that we're more establish.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I don't even use the real books.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You use the kindle.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, And if I did, if I gave somebody a book,
that's now their book because they're finger inn it like
crazy and I don't want anything to do with it.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Amy.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Do you take books on the in the bathroom?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No, because I don't spend a lot of time that's
bad for you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You don't sit on the toilet of the book.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, because I don't spend a lot of time there.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
That used to be the thing before phone or iPads.
You would have to go in and take a book
or a magazine with you. More in peoples, those things
were people's bathrooms.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
They had magazines.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The toilet, so gros. You're right, yeah, that's worse than
getting fingered, all right? Uh yeah, there you go?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Good?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You ready for mine?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yes? Oh, Tiny, I got.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
My tooth fixed. That's awesome, thank you. It was a mess.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
It was real.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It was a real mess.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It hard to tiny, What do you mean a mess?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I went in and I had multiple things they do yesterday,
including go to the dentist. And for those who don't know,
my teeth are all fake, and so every once in
a while I break one because I grind my teeth
really bad. And I cracked this one in the front
probably five months ago, if not more. And I went
(02:55):
and had it fixed, and then it came out so
at my dentist and I just couldn't get in. I
didn't prioritize it. And my wife's like, well, you should
probably get it fixed. Since you're on Netflix all the time.
You were just looking for a reason to get it fixed.
It's fine. I go in and I say, hey, how
much time it is going to be and they're like
(03:16):
an hour max, and so I go in. I was
there for two and a half hours yesterday because they
just could not get it right. I was completely gassed
out of my mind. They had to shoot it a
need on me a few times. My gums are so sore.
I didn't sleep at all last night because you take
all that laughing gas, that nitrous, it completely messes with
(03:37):
your cortizone. I woke up at probably one o'clock and
didn't go back to sleep until it was almost time
to wake up. This brutal but I didn't get my
tooth fixed. So I got that that's it matches now
it looks pretty good. But I had to cancel. I
had to cancel my ankle rehabilitation.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Oh yeah, can you have Do you know the exercises
though that you can do at home?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I woke up this morning and I'm starting to push
it a little bit, like I'm not thinking about it.
I'm just working out. Like I woke up, well, I
woke up. I'm most up all night last night, and
so there's a point when I just give up and
go I'm just gonna stay awake for a little bit,
and so I was like doing some yoga stuff and
so it isn't hurt right now, but I've been working
at hard the last couple days. My legs are so sore.
(04:18):
It's like I've never worked out of my life. And
then I started doing lunges and squats and that's pretty brutal.
There's a lot of negative here, but a positive is
that I have my toothbag.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh yeah, we're doing didn't see.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
There's a long one. Which one is I can't even
tell me exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
So when you had shorty or tiny, that wasn't your
real tooth, that was okay. So the bottom part is
your real tooth.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So whenever you get veneers, they cut your teeth down.
They cut them basically in half the long way, and
they cut the side of it a little bit because
they got to put those veneers over the top of it.
So your real teeth are no longer. And so that's
all I was was the nub that they had cut
down when they were putting the veneers over it. Wow,
way back in the day. But that's what's up.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, glad you got it done.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Stayed gassed up all day and all night. And then
if you are taking in all like gas, then you're
just so gassy all night too.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Really like like farting.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Really, your body's taking an all like gas. It's got
to get rid of it. Oh, I didn't even think
that that was the same kind of gas.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, out goes in and I didn't know it messed
with your cortosol. And then because you think it would relax.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You, it does relax you. Oh, but spike later.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Also, I fell asleep for like an hour and forty
minutes on the stuff, and then that didn't help my
sleep either.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
At the dentist.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, I was gassed out of my mind as a
hot I went to sleep. So but I do have
a new tooth. Feel pretty good about it. Out of years.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
So, my son his sixth grade basketball team. They have
advanced to the championship of what basketball They played the final.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Four yesterday, school or club. It's school. It's for their
middle school.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
So it's a big deal, Like it's awesome in middle
school because like the whole schools behind them, the gym
was jam packed. There were cheerleaders and everything.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
For a pep rally or for the game. No, for
the game. What time was the game? It was like
an eight o'clock last night.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It was late.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Wow, Wow, yeah, it was late. So there were two games.
There were two. The winner of the first game is
gonna play them now. So the championships tomorrow, dude, it's
gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Do you know the other school?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, we saw him play, so it is another school.
Huh yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
So we got there early to see their game kind
of to see who the competition's going to be. And
I don't know, he's just so excited. His whole team's excited,
the school's excited. It's cool to see him like work
so hard and then them get to the championship and
then be really proud of himself.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It's cool. Do you wish you coached that team?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
No, dude, a sixth.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Grade level that's beyond me. Where do you think your
level caps out? I think I was good at the
seven year olds first grade, seven year old first.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Second grade is kind of where I was good. And
then after that you gotta run plays and I'm out.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
What do you think you a good coach?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I think just the discipline, you know, like just setting
the discipline tone for the kids. Uh, not your ability
to relate, because some coaches their ability to relate.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
No, no, no, no, like I think so, like you
see other other teams get together with coaches and they're
just wild, like they're doing jumping jacks, they're tickling each other,
and the coaches like, all right, guys, come on, not me, dude.
I blow the whistle and like let's.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Go huh do you see that other team tickling each other?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
No, sir, we don't.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
All right, no more tickling, and then we get down
to business. So they say they don't see the other
team tickling each other, and then you say, we don't
do what you don't see.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
So like the first game, right like we're warming up
on our side of the court and the other team's
warming up, and then the other team's doing drills like
they're doing layup drills, and our team's tickling each other.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh got it, you know what?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I got it?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Got it? And so I'm thinking like that drill.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
No, it's it's so upsetting because you're like, we've practiced
five times, guys, and we're about to get beat because
you guys are tickling each other, Like, let's practice our layups.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Are they tickling each other because they're gonna tickle the
other team during the game. No, they're just messing with
each other. Do you ever see the play where the
player gets down on all fours whar it's barking like
a dog. It's an inbound No, mm hmm, pretty funny.
That's happened fifteen years. So I can a pass from
out of bounds underneath the goal, right, okay? And so
they's say the red team, the red teams throwing the
(08:19):
ball in underneath their own goal, and another member of
the red team jumps down on all fours, starts barking,
and then something the blue team looks like, what the heck?
And the right when they're looking down, the person goes
under the goal and shoots the lay up. I've seen
it on TikTok. Yeah, it's old, but it worked. But
it always makes me laugh. It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That seems like a foul. No what no, Like it
seems not fair. I get you're creating a diversion, but
like that's a little ridiculous, Like you shouldn't be able
to get down on all fours in the game and
like make noises. It's like that's equivalent to the travel Yes,
I'm saying I think it should be. I think it's
(08:56):
your teching is also a foul all y'all, don't I
think that's weird that then why didn't Why don't they
do that more?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Well, because if you know it's coming, you're not going
to look down. And also you lose a player and
they're on their all fours. If it doesn't work, it
looks silly.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Now I feel like that's a little ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
It is ridiculous, but it works sometimes, especially with so
you're telling me age kids.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Lower age kids might do it, but also does it
work in the high school.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Or coffee not seeing a high school or college team
do the barking dog?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay, so this is like little kids.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, I would stay up to age twelve.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
It just seems a little I would like to see
it tried and older though, like as high school that'd
be great.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
At a game the other day, these refs were making
some really bad calls, like it was really crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, I do know, you know, because you're like mind.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
No, no, everybody Both teams were like what the heck
is going on? I like, even the coach of the
other team got a bad call, and like he was
angry about it, and he was like, ah, yeah, well whatever,
we'll take it. You'll have gotten some real bad ones too.
Like I was sitting right by him so I could
hear him, the coach of the other team, and he
was like, I guess, yeah, what goes around comes around,
(10:13):
because they he knew that our team had gotten some
really shady calls, so he had to accept it when
it was shady shady, I guess that's the wrong word,
because I don't know that there was intent. The ref
seemed nice enough. They just seemed a little.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Old, could confused maybe, like like they thought they were
coming to ref a soccer game. I don't know, and
they're like, oh, I guess we're doing basketball today, chuck.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So I was just gonna say I thought that that
was interesting that the coach of the other team even
he started like fighting and he's like, you know what,
y'all have gotten some bad ones too, so I'll just
take it.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Parents are so embarrassing.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Like last night, it was dead silent, like somebody was
shooting a free throw and like a parent out of
nowhere just goes got to call it better, and the
whole Arena, hears it and all who said that, and
they all, you know, we all know who said it.
It's just like, why why say that? The ref knows,
like and they don't care what you think. The ref
(11:13):
knows what they know if it was a good call
or bad call, like they know, and even what.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
If they know it was a good call, but everybody
else didn't see it like they did, and everybody else
is saying it was a bad call. But I know
that's my point. It wasn't a bad call.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Okay, let me give you an example.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh god, here we go.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What I can't give you an example? You know how
when you have the ball like you were talking about,
the team has the ball underneath their goal and they're
going to throw it in. Well they have five seconds, right, yeah,
there's okay. So the ref is like, well two three,
and so it got to like three, it was not
five nowhere near five, and he's like blows the whistle.
He's like five seconds.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So you're watching that close.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Everybody knew there's no way with fire.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Because they do the hands right, they do five. They
do this, but like he couldn't, but there also could
have been one they did. He didn't do the hand on.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, no, no, no. Even the other team was like, no, no, no.
My thing is this is not about whose team it was.
It doesn't matter. It wasn't five seconds. So what I
was curious about is can the ref be like, okay, redo,
you're right, that was second.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
You commit to the mess up?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, Well that's what he did.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
He can pay it back kind of sure. On another play,
made another call to make up calls.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Why there were so many bad calls and he kept
having to make up.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
It was all make up calls back and forth after
the other.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, well that's what I was curious about, more so
not telling y'all what happened. But but but can can
the ref be like, oh dang, that really wasn't five seconds.
I got a little happy they did, like trigger happy,
like you just call it ahead of time. And then
you're like.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yecause refs are human and they mess up totally.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I get that, But why can't I mean, the play
nothing had happened because the whistle got blown to be like, hey,
let's just do this over.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
If refs started admitting that they did something wrong, they'll
always be challenged every call to admit they did something wrong.
So what they're gonna do is possibly make it up
at another close call later. But I would just say,
because you think you saw something, not you specifically, that
doesn't mean that's what really happened in this case to everybody.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Okay, this kid yesterday, this kid, he committed a foul
and then he was so mad he did the review sign.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
We don't review. There's no review system.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Hey, people are watching too much.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Nbad. They throw the finger of.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
All right, tell me something got in nuchbox.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Oh yeah, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
My kids, I'm proud of them because they are like
their mother and they get things done in advance. Last
night they got home from school, they sat down at
the table, and they fell out of their Valentine's So
we're not going to be up the night before at
ten pm trying to scribble down names on little cards.
So they're all done, and I'm just like.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Huh, that's so weird.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Doing something advance in advance seems like a smart tactic.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So that's not something they acquired from you.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
No, I am a procrastinator. I like to do everything
last minute. I would stay up like if I had
a project do like a science project, I would start
it at like eight o'clock the night before it was
due and stay up till three in the morning trying
to finish it. So no, they do not get that
from me. And so I was just like, this is crazy,
Like why are we doing this so early in the week?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Where do you fall in the procrastinator?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
With age, I've gotten better because I have the awareness.
Typically I very much I thrive in that though, but
that's part of my I know y'all are gonna be like, Okay,
here's ADHD, but it's literally a thing. I thrive in it. Well,
I don't know if that's why you're doing it, but
that's when I am my best.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But I think that's what people say. No, really, it's
like I'm not a good practice player, but I perform
under the lights.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I'm able to really focus and hone in. That's when
I'm able to dial in and hyper focus on something
where other people had the ability to do it at
a different time, Like I couldn't do it unless I
was under the pressure, under the gun and I had
to get something done. So with wisdom though, I do
it now. I try to get ahead and have other
(15:07):
techniques that help me try to focus or other methods
like oh, do a little bit, now, take a break,
do a little bit.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That's better, and that what if you had used that forever.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
It is better.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
But I didn't have that knowledge, Like I was just
doing what came naturally.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
To me, which I think is my point. Though, if
you'd had the knowledge, you would have actually performed better.
It wasn't how you were doing, it was your best.
You just didn't understand what would have been better for you.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, I still think I.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
That trap.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I'm not falling in a trap. I'm not under the lights.
I just know this about me, Like it's okay to
have that awareness.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, when that deadline's approaching, you felt like you did
so much better.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's when I was able to give it. I know
where I'm coming from is it's when I'm actually able
to give it the attention that I need to give it,
like without distraction because I don't have a choice. It's
not because I'm like, oh, I want to put this
off forever just so I can just do it last
minute and turn it in.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
It's like I guess I would meet you where you
do have a choice and you're assigning not having a choice.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
You're with my uh more mature brain and awareness of
how I perform. I have figured out ways to do it.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So you're saying about you always had a choice.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't know that a whole choice, because nobody taught
me and I wasn't medicated and i'm not. I'm not
medicated now. That's why I have to have certain tools
and things that help me. And I'm not perfect at it.
I'll still put some stuff off even.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
At the house, a quarter of it and say three
quarters of it for last minute. It would be I know,
but quality of it would mature so much. Generally speaking,
I think that.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
It's hard for some of us to do this company.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Hey, you know what happens when when all of a
sudden you're in the eastern basket with him.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
You don't want to be there.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I mean no, no, it's okay, Like you know, that's
just how we were. I mean that's you say you've changed.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I still want to change.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Do you want to be in my basket? No?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
But I'm saying I was a procrastinator and I still am.
And you're saying you've changed.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I'm saying I work towards operating differently.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Up until age eighteen, where were you on the procrastination meter?
Ten being full procrastination?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Ten. I'm just how I got through college.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Yeah ten, you say, I'm ten, Yeah, dude, But but
mine I've changed now, and mine was a stress related
Like I was so stressed out when I was younger
all the time because of procrastination. And now I'm like,
why stress myself out? Like, just get it done early
and then when you have to worry about it. So
now I get everything done early and then I just
chill you.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I don't know that mine is the same as there.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
It would have to be. Yeah, you and lunchbox are
two different kinds of animals, but the same basket. No, No,
they're the same animal. And yeah, I'm probably like it
too always, Yeah, pretty much. That's crazy, especially if it's
something of value, because I understand, even if I do
a bit of it, the hardest part about doing anything
(18:07):
that you don't want to do is just getting started.
If that's a workout, if that's having to start your
work day, if that's reading something you don't want to read,
it's just getting started. And if you get started, you
tend to go a little longer than you think you would,
because the hardest thing is committing the time to start.
And I would find I could do a quarter a
half of it when I hated doing it weeks ahead,
(18:28):
and if I did nothing else until the night before,
I already had half of it done and an understanding
of what else I needed to do, So at worst
that would be the case.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, no, and that's great you were able to do that, Like,
I think that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You weren't taught that, right, How was I taught any motivated?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Well, no, I don't think. I think what I needed
was someone to recognize, Okay, this is what you have
going on. So these are the tools, Like mirroring is
really helpful for me, Like if I'm working on something
I want to get it done, I have someone next
to me, like a friend or a partner or somebody
doing the exact same thing as me, and I will
get more done. I'm able to focus and even hyper
(19:12):
focus on something when I have what is called mirroring,
which is an ADHD tool that you can use. Body
doubling is another way that people refer to it. And
so these are tools I guess I wish I would
have learned in junior high in high school so that
I could have better equipped myself in college. You didn't
need mirroring or body doubling, like you had your brand
(19:34):
to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh imagine I did this while needing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I just think that, like just neurologically we're different, and
that it's not good or bad.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
But I think thinking that it's good for you you
perform your best at the last minute. I feel like
that's kind of a cop out what people say whenever
they just wait to the last minute, Because you're doing
it now, doing what now, you've improved at that. I
really to improve at.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
That because I don't know that it's I don't know
that it's wrong. I can't speak for everybody. Some people
may still operate that way and do their best work.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Latchbox, Yeah, I think in a basketball game in twenty minutes,
we got to be a basketball game in twenty minutes.
I am leaving my house eighteen minutes like till I
think I procrastinate and I'm like, oh, we got to
get everything to go, and we gotta go, we gotta go,
we gotta go. And it's just like that's how I
I think I learned that from my parents though, because
like when we had events to go to sporting events
(20:26):
as kids, we were always running out the door at
the last minute trying to get there.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Same my dad.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
My dad would be like, you have homework, don't worry
about that. Where worry about that?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Say that?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Oh yeah, dang, like worry about that later. It'd be
cool if I had said that.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Okay, Oh man, Mom, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Did everybody do theirs lunchbox in to yours?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah? This is how we got on the procrastination.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh, because you waited till the last minute.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Something early.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
All right, there you go. Good job everybody. God you
can bring the good news. That's what it's all about.
That was telling me something. It's time for the good news.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay. We got to shout out to staff members that
Lifeling Animal Project in Atlanta because they stayed overnight at
their shelters during recent winter storms to keep the animals
safe and comforted so they didn't have to be alone.
And they've had an influx of animals being dropped off
the last couple of months, so there are so many
pets and not one of them had to be left
(21:26):
alone during this time.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I can't wait to tell you guys about me getting
a generator. Oh, not yet, but it's for minds. I'm
sure they had a generator. Then the animals, that's those storms.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah hopefully, I mean they were. The thing is that
they stayed away from like their own homes to be
with the pets. I saw some nurses were saying they
didn't even want to go into the hospitals they worked at.
That's for humans.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
They were staying with their animals. That's good. Yeah, yeah,
I would think places like that have a generator. Yeah, hopefully.
And then my tell me something good soon, hopefully in
the next couple of weeks, is going to be we
have a generator now because we ordered one and we're
just waiting for it to come in. So there you go.
That's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
That was telling me something good.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
It's time for the good News unbox.
Speaker 3 (22:11):

Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yeah, he's a bad man.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
That's a great story. There you go. That's what it's
all about. That was telling me something good.
It's time for the good news around the room.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
So I have a little thank you from Mike De's wife,
or thank you from me to her. And something I
thought was super cute that others might want to do
is she brought me some books because I'm reading them
now somethly, grab.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I saw books on your desk this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, And something that's super cute she texted me about
and she's like, hey, on the inside, these aren't from
a library. She's like, but I got these cute little
library cards that I'm putting in And so to all
her friends that borrow the book, like you're going to
sign it, like you're checking it out from her library,
and then oh, you have.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
To give it back.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, I'll give it back to her when I'm done.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh, I thought it just like kept track of everybody
who owned the book and read the book.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I don't know. I guess I haven't gotten specifics from her.
I just thought it was cute, she said. She just
sent me a picture of the library card, which felt
really nostalgic to open it up and see, because this
is how it was. And we went to the library.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Mike has a Dewey decimal system, so she just said.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
She just sent me a text saying like, hey, this
isn't really from a library. It's just something cute that
I'm adding to my books. And I was like, that
is so fun. So yeah, either maybe we pass it
around or I give it back to her. I'm not
sure what she would prefer, but she gave me two
of them, so I.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Don't want books back. If multip people have been fingering them,
you know what I mean? I like reading them, touching them,
their fingers touching them. No, because books are very fingery.
It's just like and then people. Yes, that's what I'm saying,
it's just touching.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But from a library. We would all get books from
the library or like.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Our boll nine.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh, just now that we're more establish.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I don't even use the real books.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You use the kindle.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, And if I did, if I gave somebody a book,
that's now their book because they're finger inn it like
crazy and I don't want anything to do with it.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Amy.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Do you take books on the in the bathroom?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No, because I don't spend a lot of time that's
bad for you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You don't sit on the toilet of the book.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No, because I don't spend a lot of time there.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
That used to be the thing before phone or iPads.
You would have to go in and take a book
or a magazine with you. More in peoples, those things
were people's bathrooms.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
They had magazines.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The toilet, so gros. You're right, yeah, that's worse than
getting fingered, all right? Uh yeah, there you go?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Good?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You ready for mine?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yes? Oh, Tiny, I got.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
My tooth fixed. That's awesome, thank you. It was a mess.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
It was real.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It was a real mess.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It hard to tiny, What do you mean a mess?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I went in and I had multiple things they do yesterday,
including go to the dentist. And for those who don't know,
my teeth are all fake, and so every once in
a while I break one because I grind my teeth
really bad. And I cracked this one in the front
probably five months ago, if not more. And I went
(02:55):
and had it fixed, and then it came out so
at my dentist and I just couldn't get in. I
didn't prioritize it. And my wife's like, well, you should
probably get it fixed. Since you're on Netflix all the time.
You were just looking for a reason to get it fixed.
It's fine. I go in and I say, hey, how
much time it is going to be and they're like
(03:16):
an hour max, and so I go in. I was
there for two and a half hours yesterday because they
just could not get it right. I was completely gassed
out of my mind. They had to shoot it a
need on me a few times. My gums are so sore.
I didn't sleep at all last night because you take
all that laughing gas, that nitrous, it completely messes with
(03:37):
your cortizone. I woke up at probably one o'clock and
didn't go back to sleep until it was almost time
to wake up. This brutal but I didn't get my
tooth fixed. So I got that that's it matches now
it looks pretty good. But I had to cancel. I
had to cancel my ankle rehabilitation.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Oh yeah, can you have Do you know the exercises
though that you can do at home?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I woke up this morning and I'm starting to push
it a little bit, like I'm not thinking about it.
I'm just working out. Like I woke up, well, I
woke up. I'm most up all night last night, and
so there's a point when I just give up and
go I'm just gonna stay awake for a little bit,
and so I was like doing some yoga stuff and
so it isn't hurt right now, but I've been working
at hard the last couple days. My legs are so sore.
(04:18):
It's like I've never worked out of my life. And
then I started doing lunges and squats and that's pretty brutal.
There's a lot of negative here, but a positive is
that I have my toothbag.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh yeah, we're doing didn't see.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
There's a long one. Which one is I can't even
tell me exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
So when you had shorty or tiny, that wasn't your
real tooth, that was okay. So the bottom part is
your real tooth.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So whenever you get veneers, they cut your teeth down.
They cut them basically in half the long way, and
they cut the side of it a little bit because
they got to put those veneers over the top of it.
So your real teeth are no longer. And so that's
all I was was the nub that they had cut
down when they were putting the veneers over it. Wow,
way back in the day. But that's what's up.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, glad you got it done.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Stayed gassed up all day and all night. And then
if you are taking in all like gas, then you're
just so gassy all night too.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Really like like farting.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Really, your body's taking an all like gas. It's got
to get rid of it. Oh, I didn't even think
that that was the same kind of gas.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, out goes in and I didn't know it messed
with your cortosol. And then because you think it would relax.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You, it does relax you. Oh, but spike later.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Also, I fell asleep for like an hour and forty
minutes on the stuff, and then that didn't help my
sleep either.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
At the dentist.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, I was gassed out of my mind as a
hot I went to sleep. So but I do have
a new tooth. Feel pretty good about it. Out of years.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
So, my son his sixth grade basketball team. They have
advanced to the championship of what basketball They played the final.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Four yesterday, school or club. It's school. It's for their
middle school.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
So it's a big deal, Like it's awesome in middle
school because like the whole schools behind them, the gym
was jam packed. There were cheerleaders and everything.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
For a pep rally or for the game. No, for
the game. What time was the game? It was like
an eight o'clock last night.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
It was late.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Wow, Wow, yeah, it was late. So there were two games.
There were two. The winner of the first game is
gonna play them now. So the championships tomorrow, dude, it's
gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Do you know the other school?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, we saw him play, so it is another school.
Huh yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
So we got there early to see their game kind
of to see who the competition's going to be. And
I don't know, he's just so excited. His whole team's excited,
the school's excited. It's cool to see him like work
so hard and then them get to the championship and
then be really proud of himself.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
It's cool. Do you wish you coached that team?
Speaker 5 (06:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
No, dude, a sixth.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Grade level that's beyond me. Where do you think your
level caps out? I think I was good at the
seven year olds first grade, seven year old first.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Second grade is kind of where I was good. And
then after that you gotta run plays and I'm out.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
What do you think you a good coach?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I think just the discipline, you know, like just setting
the discipline tone for the kids. Uh, not your ability
to relate, because some coaches their ability to relate.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
No, no, no, no, like I think so, like you
see other other teams get together with coaches and they're
just wild, like they're doing jumping jacks, they're tickling each other,
and the coaches like, all right, guys, come on, not me, dude.
I blow the whistle and like let's.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Go huh do you see that other team tickling each other?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
No, sir, we don't.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
All right, no more tickling, and then we get down
to business. So they say they don't see the other
team tickling each other, and then you say, we don't
do what you don't see.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
So like the first game, right like we're warming up
on our side of the court and the other team's
warming up, and then the other team's doing drills like
they're doing layup drills, and our team's tickling each other.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Oh got it, you know what?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I got it?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Got it? And so I'm thinking like that drill.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
No, it's it's so upsetting because you're like, we've practiced
five times, guys, and we're about to get beat because
you guys are tickling each other, Like, let's practice our layups.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Are they tickling each other because they're gonna tickle the
other team during the game. No, they're just messing with
each other. Do you ever see the play where the
player gets down on all fours whar it's barking like
a dog. It's an inbound No, mm hmm, pretty funny.
That's happened fifteen years. So I can a pass from
out of bounds underneath the goal, right, okay? And so
they's say the red team, the red teams throwing the
(08:19):
ball in underneath their own goal, and another member of
the red team jumps down on all fours, starts barking,
and then something the blue team looks like, what the heck?
And the right when they're looking down, the person goes
under the goal and shoots the lay up. I've seen
it on TikTok. Yeah, it's old, but it worked. But
it always makes me laugh. It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That seems like a foul. No what no, Like it
seems not fair. I get you're creating a diversion, but
like that's a little ridiculous, Like you shouldn't be able
to get down on all fours in the game and
like make noises. It's like that's equivalent to the travel Yes,
I'm saying I think it should be. I think it's
(08:56):
your teching is also a foul all y'all, don't I
think that's weird that then why didn't Why don't they
do that more?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Well, because if you know it's coming, you're not going
to look down. And also you lose a player and
they're on their all fours. If it doesn't work, it
looks silly.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Now I feel like that's a little ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
It is ridiculous, but it works sometimes, especially with so
you're telling me age kids.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Lower age kids might do it, but also does it
work in the high school.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Or coffee not seeing a high school or college team
do the barking dog?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay, so this is like little kids.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah, I would stay up to age twelve.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
It just seems a little I would like to see
it tried and older though, like as high school that'd
be great.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
At a game the other day, these refs were making
some really bad calls, like it was really crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, I do know, you know, because you're like mind.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
No, no, everybody Both teams were like what the heck
is going on? I like, even the coach of the
other team got a bad call, and like he was
angry about it, and he was like, ah, yeah, well whatever,
we'll take it. You'll have gotten some real bad ones too.
Like I was sitting right by him so I could
hear him, the coach of the other team, and he
was like, I guess, yeah, what goes around comes around,
(10:13):
because they he knew that our team had gotten some
really shady calls, so he had to accept it when
it was shady shady, I guess that's the wrong word,
because I don't know that there was intent. The ref
seemed nice enough. They just seemed a little.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Old, could confused maybe, like like they thought they were
coming to ref a soccer game. I don't know, and
they're like, oh, I guess we're doing basketball today, chuck.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So I was just gonna say I thought that that
was interesting that the coach of the other team even
he started like fighting and he's like, you know what,
y'all have gotten some bad ones too, so I'll just
take it.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Parents are so embarrassing.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Like last night, it was dead silent, like somebody was
shooting a free throw and like a parent out of
nowhere just goes got to call it better, and the
whole Arena, hears it and all who said that, and
they all, you know, we all know who said it.
It's just like, why why say that? The ref knows,
like and they don't care what you think. The ref
(11:13):
knows what they know if it was a good call
or bad call, like they know, and even what.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
If they know it was a good call, but everybody
else didn't see it like they did, and everybody else
is saying it was a bad call. But I know
that's my point. It wasn't a bad call.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Okay, let me give you an example.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh god, here we go.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What I can't give you an example? You know how
when you have the ball like you were talking about,
the team has the ball underneath their goal and they're
going to throw it in. Well they have five seconds, right, yeah,
there's okay. So the ref is like, well two three,
and so it got to like three, it was not
five nowhere near five, and he's like blows the whistle.
He's like five seconds.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So you're watching that close.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Everybody knew there's no way with fire.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Because they do the hands right, they do five. They
do this, but like he couldn't, but there also could
have been one they did. He didn't do the hand on.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, no, no, no. Even the other team was like, no, no, no.
My thing is this is not about whose team it was.
It doesn't matter. It wasn't five seconds. So what I
was curious about is can the ref be like, okay, redo,
you're right, that was second.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
You commit to the mess up?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Okay, Well that's what he did.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
He can pay it back kind of sure. On another play,
made another call to make up calls.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Why there were so many bad calls and he kept
having to make up.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
It was all make up calls back and forth after
the other.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, well that's what I was curious about, more so
not telling y'all what happened. But but but can can
the ref be like, oh dang, that really wasn't five seconds.
I got a little happy they did, like trigger happy,
like you just call it ahead of time. And then
you're like.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yecause refs are human and they mess up totally.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I get that, But why can't I mean, the play
nothing had happened because the whistle got blown to be like, hey,
let's just do this over.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
If refs started admitting that they did something wrong, they'll
always be challenged every call to admit they did something wrong.
So what they're gonna do is possibly make it up
at another close call later. But I would just say,
because you think you saw something, not you specifically, that
doesn't mean that's what really happened in this case to everybody.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Okay, this kid yesterday, this kid, he committed a foul
and then he was so mad he did the review sign.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
We don't review. There's no review system.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Hey, people are watching too much.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Nbad. They throw the finger of.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
All right, tell me something got in nuchbox.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Oh yeah, I'm gonna say.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
My kids, I'm proud of them because they are like
their mother and they get things done in advance. Last
night they got home from school, they sat down at
the table, and they fell out of their Valentine's So
we're not going to be up the night before at
ten pm trying to scribble down names on little cards.
So they're all done, and I'm just like.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Huh, that's so weird.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Doing something advance in advance seems like a smart tactic.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
So that's not something they acquired from you.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
No, I am a procrastinator. I like to do everything
last minute. I would stay up like if I had
a project do like a science project, I would start
it at like eight o'clock the night before it was
due and stay up till three in the morning trying
to finish it. So no, they do not get that
from me. And so I was just like, this is crazy,
Like why are we doing this so early in the week?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Where do you fall in the procrastinator?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
With age, I've gotten better because I have the awareness.
Typically I very much I thrive in that though, but
that's part of my I know y'all are gonna be like, Okay,
here's ADHD, but it's literally a thing. I thrive in it. Well,
I don't know if that's why you're doing it, but
that's when I am my best.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But I think that's what people say. No, really, it's
like I'm not a good practice player, but I perform
under the lights.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I'm able to really focus and hone in. That's when
I'm able to dial in and hyper focus on something
where other people had the ability to do it at
a different time, Like I couldn't do it unless I
was under the pressure, under the gun and I had
to get something done. So with wisdom though, I do
it now. I try to get ahead and have other
(15:07):
techniques that help me try to focus or other methods
like oh, do a little bit, now, take a break,
do a little bit.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That's better, and that what if you had used that forever.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
It is better.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
But I didn't have that knowledge, Like I was just
doing what came naturally.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
To me, which I think is my point. Though, if
you'd had the knowledge, you would have actually performed better.
It wasn't how you were doing, it was your best.
You just didn't understand what would have been better for you.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, I still think I.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
That trap.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I'm not falling in a trap. I'm not under the lights.
I just know this about me, Like it's okay to
have that awareness.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, when that deadline's approaching, you felt like you did
so much better.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's when I was able to give it. I know
where I'm coming from is it's when I'm actually able
to give it the attention that I need to give it,
like without distraction because I don't have a choice. It's
not because I'm like, oh, I want to put this
off forever just so I can just do it last
minute and turn it in.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
It's like I guess I would meet you where you
do have a choice and you're assigning not having a choice.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
You're with my uh more mature brain and awareness of
how I perform. I have figured out ways to do it.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
So you're saying about you always had a choice.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't know that a whole choice, because nobody taught
me and I wasn't medicated and i'm not. I'm not
medicated now. That's why I have to have certain tools
and things that help me. And I'm not perfect at it.
I'll still put some stuff off even.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
At the house, a quarter of it and say three
quarters of it for last minute. It would be I know,
but quality of it would mature so much. Generally speaking,
I think that.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
It's hard for some of us to do this company.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Hey, you know what happens when when all of a
sudden you're in the eastern basket with him.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
You don't want to be there.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I mean no, no, it's okay, Like you know, that's
just how we were. I mean that's you say you've changed.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I still want to change.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Do you want to be in my basket? No?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
But I'm saying I was a procrastinator and I still am.
And you're saying you've changed.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I'm saying I work towards operating differently.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Up until age eighteen, where were you on the procrastination meter?
Ten being full procrastination?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Ten. I'm just how I got through college.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Yeah ten, you say, I'm ten, Yeah, dude, But but
mine I've changed now, and mine was a stress related
Like I was so stressed out when I was younger
all the time because of procrastination. And now I'm like,
why stress myself out? Like, just get it done early
and then when you have to worry about it. So
now I get everything done early and then I just
chill you.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I don't know that mine is the same as there.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
It would have to be. Yeah, you and lunchbox are
two different kinds of animals, but the same basket. No, No,
they're the same animal. And yeah, I'm probably like it
too always, Yeah, pretty much. That's crazy, especially if it's
something of value, because I understand, even if I do
a bit of it, the hardest part about doing anything
(18:07):
that you don't want to do is just getting started.
If that's a workout, if that's having to start your
work day, if that's reading something you don't want to read,
it's just getting started. And if you get started, you
tend to go a little longer than you think you would,
because the hardest thing is committing the time to start.
And I would find I could do a quarter a
half of it when I hated doing it weeks ahead,
(18:28):
and if I did nothing else until the night before,
I already had half of it done and an understanding
of what else I needed to do, So at worst
that would be the case.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, no, and that's great you were able to do that, Like,
I think that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You weren't taught that, right, How was I taught any motivated?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Well, no, I don't think. I think what I needed
was someone to recognize, Okay, this is what you have
going on. So these are the tools, Like mirroring is
really helpful for me, Like if I'm working on something
I want to get it done, I have someone next
to me, like a friend or a partner or somebody
doing the exact same thing as me, and I will
get more done. I'm able to focus and even hyper
(19:12):
focus on something when I have what is called mirroring,
which is an ADHD tool that you can use. Body
doubling is another way that people refer to it. And
so these are tools I guess I wish I would
have learned in junior high in high school so that
I could have better equipped myself in college. You didn't
need mirroring or body doubling, like you had your brand
(19:34):
to do it.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh imagine I did this while needing. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I just think that, like just neurologically we're different, and
that it's not good or bad.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
But I think thinking that it's good for you you
perform your best at the last minute. I feel like
that's kind of a cop out what people say whenever
they just wait to the last minute, Because you're doing
it now, doing what now, you've improved at that. I
really to improve at.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
That because I don't know that it's I don't know
that it's wrong. I can't speak for everybody. Some people
may still operate that way and do their best work.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Latchbox, Yeah, I think in a basketball game in twenty minutes,
we got to be a basketball game in twenty minutes.
I am leaving my house eighteen minutes like till I
think I procrastinate and I'm like, oh, we got to
get everything to go, and we gotta go, we gotta go,
we gotta go. And it's just like that's how I
I think I learned that from my parents though, because
like when we had events to go to sporting events
(20:26):
as kids, we were always running out the door at
the last minute trying to get there.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Same my dad.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
My dad would be like, you have homework, don't worry
about that. Where worry about that?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Say that?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Oh yeah, dang, like worry about that later. It'd be
cool if I had said that.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Okay, Oh man, Mom, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Did everybody do theirs lunchbox in to yours?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah? This is how we got on the procrastination.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh, because you waited till the last minute.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Something early.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
All right, there you go. Good job everybody. God you
can bring the good news. That's what it's all about.
That was telling me something. It's time for the good news.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay. We got to shout out to staff members that
Lifeling Animal Project in Atlanta because they stayed overnight at
their shelters during recent winter storms to keep the animals
safe and comforted so they didn't have to be alone.
And they've had an influx of animals being dropped off
the last couple of months, so there are so many
pets and not one of them had to be left
(21:26):
alone during this time.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I can't wait to tell you guys about me getting
a generator. Oh, not yet, but it's for minds. I'm
sure they had a generator. Then the animals, that's those storms.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah hopefully, I mean they were. The thing is that
they stayed away from like their own homes to be
with the pets. I saw some nurses were saying they
didn't even want to go into the hospitals they worked at.
That's for humans.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
They were staying with their animals. That's good. Yeah, yeah,
I would think places like that have a generator. Yeah, hopefully.
And then my tell me something good soon, hopefully in
the next couple of weeks, is going to be we
have a generator now because we ordered one and we're
just waiting for it to come in. So there you go.
That's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
That was telling me something good.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
It's time for the good News unbox.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Last week, Doug.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Is on his trash route in Connecticut when he sees
a mom pulled over on the side of the road
and she looks like she's in distress. He's like, what
she can't get the garbage can out? Let me pull
over and help her.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
He's like, man's something wrong. She's like, my eighteen month
old is choking. My eighteen month old is choking. Doug
jumps out of the truck.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Starts bah bah, hitting the baby on the back.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Ba baw.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Radios, Hey, we got a choking baby here. Ba ba
dislodges whatever is in his throat.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Baby's hey, Okay? Was the babby?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Was that the official way to do it? Or was
he just like reacting? No?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
No, no, he had medical training from back in the day.
He knew how to do that, like with the baby.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Boom boom. Oh, now it's changed.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
It was.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Was it really?
Speaker 3 (22:55):
I say bad?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Was the first one?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
And now I turned to the boom boom feels more official?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Boom boom.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
No, I was bae bae.
Speaker 3 (23:02):

I don't know, but he he had medical training and
technician from you know, earlier in his career, and he
remembered it and he just got out bye b.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, saved the baby.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yeah, he's a bad man.
Speaker 1 (23:13):

all about. That was telling me something good.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.

This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
