Speaker 1 (00:01):
Comitting this guy.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Everybody, thank you for being here. The Saint Jude Radiothon
was today on the broadcast version of the show, and
this is the podcast version, which we're gonna do some
content as well. We appreciate you guys that listen to
the podcast and we hope you became a partner in
hope and if you did, awesome, And if you're here
just for the giggles, great or not always just giggles,
just for the compelling content. I know everybody's got a
little something here. I'll go first that ceo that was

(00:35):
shot in New York.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Oh crazy dude, and.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I've watched so many videos. First, let me just explain
what happened. Six forty five am yesterday morning. The United
Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was headed to an investor conference
in New York City. He was one of the big speakers.
Gunman approached him from behind, fired several shots.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
He was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Police say
the gunman arrived at the location about five minutes before. However,
that's been since there and multiple witness to say this
guy was waiting there for hours and hours. So but
I'm just gonna read from the story from NBC News.
Talking to NBC News, his wife paul At Thompson, said,
there have been some threats that were tracking down what
they called several good leads. That is from NBC News.

(01:13):
Now this is just gonna be talking about it because
I got on the algorithm of it last night on TikTok.
And first of all, the guy's in full head and mask,
and nobody thinks anything of it because people said, must
be wearing masks now because of COVID.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, and it was that kind of mask.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
No, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't And it's cold
at the same time in New York down here, so
it's a combination of people already wear masks and it's cold,
so you're just covering your face anyway, so you don't
think anything of it. He's dressed and dark, he has
a great backpack on. And initially it was he arrived
right when the guy arrived, so it was like he

(01:50):
must have known exactly when he was there. But then
again watching the eyewitness some of the people were like, no,
he was there. He was at a Starbucks. That footage
of him at a Starbucks. The bat called the guy
was at the Starbucks and they waited for hours apparently
walks up. I believe it was a twenty two pistol.
And what they call a suppressor is what we would
call a silencer. So when you hear them talk about

(02:12):
a suppressor, that's like in the movies when it's a silencer.
So it did have that on it. The gun jammed
while he was shooting, and you can see him unjam
it and shoot because because he shot him in the
calf at first. This is why I don't think and
it was purpose. This is just me giving an opinion.

(02:34):
This is why I don't think it was like a
hired super skilled hitman is because of all the things
that went wrong. What's up?

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Just me chilling?

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Is this just men's phone ringing your.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, he's just a joint eruption at no problem, No,
I thought.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
I I wanted you to check because in case it's
an emergency, it's.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
All good here, no miscalls anything. Yeah here. So the
reason that I don't feel that it was a hired hitman,
especially one of high skill, because it could have been
a hired person to kill, but he shot him in
the calf at first, And if you're using a handgun
and you shoot in very rudiment. And reversion of this

(03:17):
is if you shoot in your hands or below your shoulders,
it's going to shoot low. The guy didn't know what
he was did he did hit him. He didn't know
what he was doing, so he shot him in the calf,
unjammed the gun, shot him in the back, took off,
got on the e bike, got out of there. As
of right now, they still don't know who he is.
So I think there was some history of using that weapon,
because you don't unjam a gun like that without knowing

(03:40):
how to use it. But I don't think it was
someone who was like a million dollar hired to hire
a hitman to kill a CEO because of how because
if that were the case, he'd walked up, put her
upside his head and killed him and walked off, same
thing because he was five feet away from him. Like
that's probably how that would have gone down.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Oh so he probably wouldn't have gone to the Starbucks beforehand.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Like that seems so weird that times you gotta stay away.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
You've been out there all night, like you're just taking it,
like you're going to go to Starbucks when like you know,
there's gonna be a video of you in the Starbucks
and then.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
He didn't have his mask on though, And how what
I would counter on that is he knew he's gonna
be on video anyway everywhere because he was. He's on
video at the mask on and the gun. They got
him like four or five different places, including Starbucks, and
it looks like the same picture. He didn't take his
mask down in Starbucks.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Do we know what he used to pay with at
Starbucks yet?

Speaker 5 (04:20):
And they haven't said that. That's why I wondered buy
a drink.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
And it's like if he had his phone with him,
he's cooked.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
Well, they found a phone.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
They found a phone in the alley way where he fled,
and they do believe the phone belongs to the person,
and they are trying to get a search warrant to
go through the phone, which.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
If it wasn't a Barner phone, again not not somebody
who is hired to do this at a high level. Now,
there are one hundred theories as to what it could
have been, and those are just people making up stuff.
But a person that would have been hired to do
this on a high level would have probably one had
no electronic device on them at all because there's no tracking.

(04:56):
Two would have walked up and just put it at
his head and boom and walked away. Because he actually
did the same thing just two shots, but seven to
ten to twelve feet away when a shot in the
calf there. So all that is the non non emotional
part of it, right, that is the I cannot believe
we just saw that happen broad daylight, got away on
an e bike, e biked there, walked walk got back

(05:17):
on an e bike, had closed you could change in
and out of, had a gray backpack, nondescript clothing. All
of that.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
Also fled into Central Park where they said there's not
very much, very many cameras, So that's probably why he
went into Central Park.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Right, changed his clothes, like rode the bike in a park, right,
changes clothes, got it and got out of there. Is
this update of Mike the mask gunman who stalked and
killed used ammunition with the words denied defendant pose so
on the bullets. I had not read that until right now.

Speaker 6 (05:43):
Which is yeah, which is the title of a book
written a few years ago talking about how health caught
care uses these words to delay your to avoid paying
you out insurance things.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
What are the words deny.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Delay, deny, defending in to pose.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
So also, this could also be what they call like
a false flag. Somebody could be doing this to throw
the scin off where if they're doing this, someone goes, well,
it must be because they're upset about insurance. When it's
somebody going well, if we do this, there's just so
much right now that that doesn't make me feel like
that is real. That could be a red herring.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
As you did say that the wife said that they
had threats.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Yes, yeah, but I would think that insurance CEOs. Yeah,
I feel like that. I think that's a common people.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Are so mean to. I was looking at comments and
every one of them was like I would give condolences,
but my insurance when cook in the comments section of
these set, but also people also, I was also because
they're like stealing the joke too from other people. So
the first thing I was like, you're sad human, why
would you do this? Somebody just die? Then secondly I'm like,
you just stole that joke from another person's Instagram comment
and used it. Now you're getting all the likes. Loser.

(06:53):
He was a guy who moved up through the company too.
He wasn't one of these CEOs. It was like hired
headhunted from another company. He's like somebody who started low
level and rose up. I understand that the trouble that
and there was some insider trading stuff that that had
started to circulate, and there was some AI stuff where

(07:16):
it was like they were using a company. This is
just gonna be my memory, and I could be wrong
about the numbers here, but they were using an AI
company to say yes or no to things, and it
was proven the AI company was like ninety percent wrong,
and they were still using it anyway, even while knowing that.
Like that, that's something that I read. But there's going
to be so much misinformation out there now because people
just want to get clicks that now it's like, we'll
just wait and see. But the problem is with wait

(07:38):
and see is okay, we're still waiting to see what
happened Jefrey Epstein And you know what he dies? That
was from the inside. That was for sure, from the inside.
The cops take a break. The cops take a break.
They turned the cameras off it so who knows what
we know except this guy. Also, you don't really know
what your CEO is doing. Like let's say you work
at the company and he was speaking at this conference,

(07:59):
and it was known he was there way early, like
you don't know. It wasn't like it was said, this
guy's going to be here on this day, because it
wasn't the day he was talking. There's just a lot
of things that don't allow you to have the full
scope of what's happening because we only are we only
know what we're being told.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Because it's sort of like, okay, well was this guy
professional or not, because it seems like some of this
stuff he would have to know, or how he would
have to know what he knew would be really a
little more a professional issue.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
I would say that you can be in the know
without being professional, okay, and also have.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
Some skills okay, So it's like not or just.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Be in the know and hire somebody who is like
a drug addict that will do anything for drugs or
moneycause they're a bad place and you know what they do.
This is what happens with a lot of these is
that they will hire somebody I say they I'll just
use that generically, that they'll hire somebody with this situation
like this, and they'll pay them and they'll give them
and then they'll make sure they ode on the drugs afterwards,
so there's no trail back to the I'm not saying

(08:54):
that's this one, but that does happen as well. Then
you never know, because I.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Feel like that that really happened in real life or
just on TV.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh, I don't know on TV that happens. Oh, in
real life, that happens. It's a sucky story. And I
couldn't believe it happened right there. And then I was
thinking what about the people that saw it happen? And
I was like, what if I saw it?

Speaker 7 (09:10):
What I do?

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Run?

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah? Shots fired? You run?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
It's like I guess people are like, why didn't someone
just jump and take him down? And then I think,
let me think about what I would do. I'd run.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
You don't know who those people are.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Like and exactly where it was coming from. Maybe you
hear it, and then you're like, oh, is that if
it's silence?

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
True, they were right there like they saw it, because
again it's ten feet people that saw him. Silence wasn't
mean that makes no noise, right.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Because suppressor that's a better way to put it suppressor because.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
TV gives you a wrong impression of silencers for the
most part. So anyway, that story sucks. I feel terrible
for the family because he's in such a high position.
There are a thousand different theories as to why or
what or how?

Speaker 5 (09:55):
Yeah could it?

Speaker 6 (09:56):
Do you think there's any I mean, I don't. I
was reading about the him being investigated for the inside
of trading and whatever could have been an inside job
of he'd they're worried. He was going to squeal like
he was going to say, Hey, this is what's happening.
How does this guy know that he's coming out that
door that early in the morning, And.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well if he waited for hours and hours and the
conference was in that hotel, right, there is bits of
intel that would lead you to think that. But you're right, yes,
that could be one. But I mean, yeah, I was
just I'm not attaching myself to a theory because I
know nothing except what's being told here, and then I
know what I don't know, and that's most of it.
But that if I were an like I see you

(10:35):
have a different insurance company today, I would have full
scary around here eight time.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
And they said he bought a bottle of water in
two bars from the Starbucks, and they did find a
bottle of water in the alleyway where the gun was
or the phone, So they think that that that bottle
of water is his.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
So they're going to test it for DNA.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, but if they find ben A on it, this
guy's not a professional.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Right And also did he use Apple play or cash?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Probably cash unless he's just so really.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
That's what I want to know link out yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Yeah, and firearm experts things, it is someone that has
military or a lot of gun training because the way
it jams and the way they are able to jam it.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
So I doing that was him having weapons training or
a lot of.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
Seeing the calf part he just got nervous or or
the gun to malfunction.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
You know.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
He was definitely shooting a little low and the first
one didn't jam.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
The first one she was trying to really not.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Well, My friends that live in cities think I'm like
since I'm they think I'm like the biggest hillbilly and
a medium hillbilly and have decent gun experience, but never
with handguns. And it's like I had a four ten
and twelve gauge and thirty. I six when I had
a rifle, and so I know like general basic Arkansas gun, right,
hunting hunting gun. Yeah, yeah, I can tell you the
difference in all the gauges of shot guns. I can

(11:48):
tell you different kinds of bird shot, buck shot, slug.
I can do all that. But they're hitting me up
like I'm some gun expert to give analysis, and I'm like, guys,
I'm a hillbilly with guns. I don't know about the
only thing that I could tell you was he knew
and he has used a weapon at how calm He
unjammed the thing because it did jam, and a lot

(12:09):
of times they jam with a silent with the suppressor
because that's not common. So anyway, we'll move off because
I'm wildly uneducated on it. I just want to talk
about the story and that sucks, and I hope they
figure it out. That's it for me. You'll take a
mideral real quick.

Speaker 8 (12:25):
Yeah, let's do it.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Okay, let's to the middle here, boom Amy, what do
you have?

Speaker 4 (12:29):
What do you want to bring a story I can't
stop thinking about. It's not a new shooting. It's something
that happened years back. But dayline just released a podcast
about it, and it's about this guy that shot two
teenagers that broke into his home.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Okay, what's the problem.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
The problem is why I can't stop thinking about it
is he's in jail for the rest of his life
for murder.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
So a couple questions. He didn't know them. They broke
into a home, right, so I'm not confused on that.
Were they running away from his home, like in his
yard and he.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Was waiting for them in the basement because I guess
his home had been broken into leading up to that,
and he's he had guns himself and two guns were stolen.
So he was an older man who was obviously scared
for his life, and he set sort of like the
way they presented it in court were like he set

(13:25):
this up as a trap, Like he made it seem
like his home was empty. He wasn't there. He parked
his truck down the road, and then he was waiting
in the basement for whoever was breaking in. He didn't
know who it was going to be. And when they
came down, he didn't even wait to see their face.
He just shot the first kid and then his cousin,
a girl like was looking for him. And she was
like waiting for him to come out. She starts to
go down the stairs, he shoots her. Well, the problem is,

(13:48):
I think maybe he had started to go a little bit,
you know, something was not right because he was like
recording this.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
You I'd broken into his house before, though, and these
people had broken into his house, right.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
And so he was there. They pitched it is sort
of don't quote me on the exact words, but premeditated
in a sense because he was sitting and waiting and
he set a trap.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
But again, but they broke in, Yes.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Like they broke in, and these are I think, good
kids making a bad choice. And I felt bad for
the family talking in the podcast and whatnot. But I
just thought, man, what would how I just keep thinking
about if I was on the jury, what would I
do guilt?

Speaker 2 (14:23):
If it's what?

Speaker 4 (14:24):
Yeah, but he's in jail for the rest of his life.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I wonder why there might be some in that case.
I wonder what they got him for.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
That audio got him, The fact that he had the recording.
The it wasn't a video, it was just an audio recording,
and you hear him talking to himself beforehand, like you know,
kind of going over like I'm gonna get him or
you know, talking about that. But but I'm like, he's scared,
and he may and maybe he was going a little
crazy because of it. I would maybe too, but I did.

(14:52):
Another part is he waited because he was scared. Apparently
his lawyer said, after he did it, and you have
own clip, he went and hid in the club to
know are more people coming whatnot. He didn't report it
till the next day, and that's always trouble if somebody's
been killed and you don't report it immediately. Yeah, So
anyway that I can't stop talking about thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
And if not, it's crazy. But there must be something
we're missing. Because if someone breaks into your house and
I feel it all threatened, I'm shooting them, right, I mean,
that's it. If I feel threatened, I'm going to eliminate this.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
It's the castle doctrine. You have the right to protect
your castle.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
And the only time I've seen people get in trouble
because I don't I didn't know this story is if
people are like still on your property and they're like
running away and you still shoot them, right even if
they're on your property, Like you can go to jail
for that because they are now not a threat and
they are eliminating themselves from being a threat.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Okay, So to that point, the second person, the second team,
he ended up shooting. He did not need to shoot
her multiple times, but he did. And then like specifically
like in the E But I mean I think he was.
I don't know if you're in that state of mind.
I don't know how crazy are I just don't know
that it's like murder in jail for the rest of
your life, Like maybe you need some mental help. I

(16:05):
think he was scared. And when you're in fear and
then people are breaking like they literally broke into the home.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
So that's the part too where I'm like, I would
have been shooting. And you say, do you feel after
my house got broken into and I'd been pistol whipped
and had a couple I was I was crazy at
my house any noise, I had a gun right beside me.
So it's like, he's crazy. You know what makes you
crazy Whenever you feel like you could die any minute,
because you've had experiences that have led you to think

(16:31):
that you could die any minute, because people have broken
in or people have attacked you. Yeah, I just wonder
what the jury like. Why the jury I'd need to
see why, like.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
You could listen to I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I mean it's the cord hurts Smith's whispers at the
time of the shootings. I don't see them as human.
I see them as vermin.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
What does that mean?

Speaker 4 (16:50):
I think you probably in my mind I was thinking,
like you probably have to convince yourself, like I've got
to protect myself and right now if I see them
as human, like, I'm not going to be able to
protect my home, and I'm scared it and I'm tired
of living scared. So I'm going to take care of business.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Smith's decision earlier on Thanksgiving Day Movies Vehicle from the
Driveway allowed prosecutors to present the idea that he wished
to bait the intruders in the act of premeditation. If
you're just moving your corner baiting, it's not like you're
piling up presents inside the window, going anybody that can
get to these you can have and leave the door.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
A good you know, they had to break a window
to get in.

Speaker 6 (17:22):
And but he I guess what they're saying baiting is
by presenting the fact that you're not home knowing.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
I mean, yes, he said it, yes.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Because you present that you're not home. But I mean
you have the right to break into somebody.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
But he had the motive that he was going to
kill these people premeditated because he trap and said, I'm.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
Going to move my truck down the road.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Bait.

Speaker 9 (17:48):
If you put that's a trap, that's your garage is
different down the street to make the appearance you're not home.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
That's saying I'm going to put Christmas presents in my car.
Not because you can wait for someone to shoot it.
Doesn't make it okay for somebody to break it even
if you're not home. I didn't they was okay for
them to break in, But to try to lead them
to break in, to give them reason to break.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
In, Yeah, because he's tired of living scared like yes,
Like however you want to.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Put it begging someone to break in by saying I'm
not home, No, that is extremely er.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
It is setting the stage.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
That's why the jury found him guilty because he baited them.
He came up with a plan to get them in
his house so he can.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Murder them, but to break into his house.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
No one had broken into his house multiple times it
was multiple times.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Great.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
If no one had done it ever before, then he
wouldn't have been in fear. And when you're in survival mode,
you fight flight freeze. He was fighting correct for his
own safety.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
In my opinion, baiting baiting would be again big flashing arrow,
door wide open baiting is not something that would happen
anyway because he could be gone.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
I just wish he would have been driven. I mean,
because these poor these kids, their poor decision to break
in when when they think it's an innocent thing, I mean,
it's bringing in is not innocent. But right if they
think he's not home, they're going to go in, steal
some money, steal some whatever, and probably run out.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
But maybe kill him if they run into him, right Like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
But that's okay. See, I don't think these teens would
have But he didn't know that doesn't that two of
his guns were previously stolen, So in his mind, he's like,
they could come back and use my own weapons against me.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
And when someone is in a situation, if their life
is threatened, they may actually do something exactly they're threatening
to yours, even if they did not plan to.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
Do that, right, which is the which is where I'm
just like God, like, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, that would that sucks.

Speaker 9 (19:36):
Like I have these uh like I'd say every two months,
like these kids come through my neighborhood and they just
go through car doors and if they're unlocked, they steal stuff,
right Yeah, And I have thought myself, Mike, I would
love to see them doing that so I can call
the cops and like tell them exactly where they are
and they get busted. But like I've even thought, maybe
I get some nails, pop their tires when they go

(19:58):
that way, I throw it all on the roads. When
they have to come back down the road their tires
are popped, then the cops.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Is like giving a kidney though, where you're really not
you know, I literally thought this, but I never know
when they're doing it.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
He's thought it, Bobby saying it is nobody's literally thought
about donating your kidney too. I know you can think
all kinds of things.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, that sucks, Amy, And well I don't.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
I mean, it's the whole story just was it happened
back in twenty twelve. But for whatever reason, Daylight, I
don't know. The podcast and my heart breaks for the
family of the teenagers and it's just.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
A it is there a chance this guy gets released,
because again, depending on how small the town is, and
you know, there's people sometimes running for office make things
happen certain ways, they win and lose case. You know,
there's just a lot happening. And if there's a light
shine on it now from back in twenty twelve. Obviously
I do not know all the facts other than what
I'm reading. I'm reading it as we're doing the bit here.

(20:46):
But I think not having your conference your house is
not bait for someone to break in.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
But the audio was not in his favor is not good,
and him shooting her multip time is not good. But again,
he wasn't in his right mind because.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Somebody's threatening you, you're never in your right mind. And
that's crazy. Okay, let's do a couple other things. So
there's that we have our Saint Jude Radiothon that we
have been doing all morning. I do want to bring
Jessica on a share on the phone or no.

Speaker 8 (21:10):
I thought that was gonna be for something else.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Oh got it, Oh got it, we'll do it. We'll
do it off the shore. Yeah, no problem. So if
you are listening to the show and you want to
be a partner. I hope we're gonna we have one
of the families. We're gonna talk to you coming up
in just a little bit. We went to the Christmas
gift uh drawing yes, because we need to do this
now so we know who is who. So yeah, Kevin
can bring all the stuff in.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
This is where we draw our gift cards.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, oh my gosh, we're gonna add yes. So but
we're gonna bring in and actually talk it out for
a second because we only have like seven or eight
minutes to do this. Yeah, I'm thinking. So Macy's gave
us all these gift cards. The good thing is we
have to spending never own money, which we never spent

(21:55):
a whole lot anyway, because it was always like a
forty dollars limit or something. But Macy's gave these gift cards.
And there's one from ten and I have the key
coming in. I will not draw, I will take which
everyone is last. That way, I have no influence on
what bag is what bag, but I will have the
key to know what's what. So can I have the key?
You can set the bags right there? Thanks Kevin. What

(22:16):
sucks for Kevin is he was in it until we
only had eight. Now he's eliminated because there's only eight.
He was nine.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
What's the key? The key?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Your key? Like all the answers. Okay, So there's there's
one ten dollars gift card.

Speaker 9 (22:27):
Oh my gosh, you put him in the middle.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, one fell into the There's one twenty five dollars
gift card. There's one fifty dollars. There's two fifty dollars
gift cards. There's two seventy five dollars gift cards. There's
one hundred, a five hundred, and a one thousand.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
My goodness, I.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Mean five hundred sounds awesome, but then you go there's
a thousand, and I'm just like, five hundred doesn't count.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Playing the odds here, Hey, did you get the one
thousand and one and a five hundred dollar one? That's
two versus one, two, three, four, five verse seven. So
you're looking at two and seven five hundred. That odds
to because that one is awesome. That's you want to
get them. So first I'll say this about Macy's. It's
the best offer of the season. Take an extra thirty

(23:10):
percent off top gifts plus fifteen percent off their best
beauty brands. They have the perfect gifts of holiday season, uggs, Crocs,
a wall of water bottles, lots of great stocking stuffers.
Let Macy's be your guide to gifting. Shop at Macy's
dot com. They do have everything. So and maybe we
don't even draw until tomorrow. We can just draw names now.
But here's the thing. I'm not totally set on the

(23:30):
most interesting way to do this. I've walked through every
scenario in my head. I've walked through we draw a name.
Let's say I draw Amy's name, and then I pull
a bag and do I pull it immediately and go
only got ten dollars. I've done the thing where it's like,
we don't say who we have and we draw the bag,

(23:51):
but we know how much money there is on the
card go because then the person does that. That's an
interesting wrinkle. I've done the thing where it's we have
the bag and nobody knows who they who has I
don't know Amy. I'm gonna go to you. What do
you think the best idea for the most drama? This
is a bit, this is not real.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
This is you want me to pick which one's gonna
be the most drama asked.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Lunch or I'm not asking him because he's rageful and international.
I'm asking you because it's for the most compelling part
of the bit, like what's the best way to do
this as a fund? Fund doesn't mean everybody has a
good time, but for the listeners to go like, oh
my god, I can't believe that. What's the most suspenseful
way to do this?

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Where you I think that you capitalize on two moments
of suspense, the first moment being you find out right
away what the dollar amount is for whatever person, and
then it'll be funny to see what they end up getting,
like which.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
But what about knowing who the person is? Like what
in your version?

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Yeah, like if it's okay, so I guess how because.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
I have in my head, I have it drawn exactly
how I do it. But I want to hear your
work before you say that.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Well, here's what I'm thinking, Like you like, I say,
I draw a lunchbox, so you go on name first.
I draw the name first. It's like, oh, I got lunchbox.
And then I draw my gift card and I'm like,
it's ten dollars.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
So you want to know that that's out there?

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yes, And then it'll be fine to find out later
what I got for ten dollars for him, because it's
like a double because otherwise we're waiting, and then I'm
going to give him the thing I got for ten dollars,
and it's going to be like, oh, you find both
of those things out at the same time.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
So I'm fifty percent with you on that. I think
we draw the name, and I think we draw the
if you say, because it's just not interesting. If I
draw you and then I say I have ten dollars
for you, I don't even care to hear what do
you get it for ten dollars? Right it already lost
the lust face, the luster of the that is gone
as the guy.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
That's full of rage and irrational. If you told me
right away, I'd lose interest if you told me ten
dollars right away.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Where I want to, like, I draw somebody and it's you,
and we don't say what the gift card amount is, okay, and.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
Then you're waiting until we do the day and you're
sitting there the day.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Oh my god. But even when they open.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
The press, the person doesn't know, but the listeners do.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Maybe what if it's like lunch let me finish. Let
me finish the explanation here.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Okay, sorry I got excited.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I think what it is is draw the name, get
the gift. You draw the gift card, but you don't
say what the how much it is. They open the
gift without knowing how much the gift card was until
after they open the gift, and then it's like I
had X amount of dollars, we're going to say something.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Well, the reverse could also be that we don't say
who we get, we say what our gift card is.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
That's that's that's basically the same. But yes, it's that
that we're leaving one of the elements unknown. So you
but but if we draw the name, and we have
the name, we know like who's our friend or enemy already?
Because because what makes it interesting is if Lunchbox gets
you or you get Lunchbox because he's easy to be pissed.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
But the power is interesting.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
The power is interesting, Like, but if you don't have
who the power over who is, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 9 (26:58):
Yeah, but everyone's gonna want to hope that that power
is for a certain person.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
That's a good point too. Okay, So what we're gonna
do because we have to go. We're going to draw
names today. Only we're not gonna draw bags.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Wait, but I'll be here tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
We'll drawn names. It's a good point. So we have
to do well, No, we don't. You can just do
yours today. Just Morgan will do hers today. So do
we have some different names? We had a wheel? Do
we have time?

Speaker 10 (27:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I can put everybody's name on it. Yeah, bring it name.
It's just we got to keep spending it and pull names.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
It's fun.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
I mean, we have an interview in like five minutes. Yeah,
let's do this. I don't worry about that. Who are
the names on the thing? Just read the names of
the other people participating, please, I don't know if a
read I can write. I don't know. Okay, all right,

(27:53):
hold on, Bobby. That's why I think we're bringing a
new characters for this.

Speaker 5 (27:57):
Well, you said.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
If lunchbox spin Mike D, Mike D go ahead, Abby Rude,
Rick Murray.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
Well he said Kevin.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Kevin's never been done, and Morgan just spin two, three, four, five, six.
That's nine people should be nine? Yeah, we have nine
gift cards, Becky nine Okay, hey, please, okay, so Amy,
you're gonna go first, pick a number one, nine, nine,
you have Scuba Steve okay, Lunchbox picking number four, you

(28:31):
have Amy. I'm gonna take a picture of my sheet though,
by the way, so you guys don't think I'm changing anything.

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Lunchbucks bo got it?

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Okay, Lunchbox is Amy? Okay, Morgan? Yeah, pick a number two?
You have Ray? Hey, Ray, Eddie. If you need to
know the numbers that are.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Left, I got it, go ahead. Number three.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
That's me, Mike d It's left one, five, six, seven
and eight. I'll say one. You have Abby. You've already picked.

Speaker 5 (29:05):
Amy, ray Man.

Speaker 8 (29:07):
They got a number picked crazy?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Eight?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Eight, you have Eddie Crap Ray Mundo. You have Scuba
Scooba is already on the list. I have Yeah.

Speaker 8 (29:20):
So there's only eight, then that should be nine?

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Did you Oh Morgan? That's Morgan. That's Morgan. That's Morgan.
You have Morgan. That's right, that's Morgan. And then there's
two left.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
Ray.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Have you picked a number? There's two left, There's six
and seven, and then Abby you'll pick I think you
did pick you have Morgan?

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Wait, I have Ray?

Speaker 2 (29:39):
So Ray has me? Also?

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Do you have more?

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
So you guys have each other happenings. So I have
a pick, and Abby has a pick, and I Mike.
You can look so you can see what the numbers are.
So I'm not a cheating or anything. Abby, you can
pick number six or number seven and seven you have
Mike d.

Speaker 5 (29:59):
He's the most honest in the world.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
And when he gets that thousand, I'm getting all thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
You don't know that. You don't know that.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Yeah, you're gonna have to bring proof of receipt.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, but here's another rink. Do you have to spend
the whole card? I think the option is you don't
have to. We'll talk about it. We'll talk about it.
These are rules. We're inventing a new.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Game because you know, if Lunchbucks gets I have him
if I get the thousand, So you're saying he could
get me something for like twenty bucks and keep.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
I'm thinking that could be a wrinkle. Moregan needs you
to draw a bag. You know he will, and then
just draw the bag and take it with you. Tell
me the number your don't open it. Just tell me
the number you're picking. Okay, And so I'm the only
one that knows how much that is. I don't want

(30:54):
you to look in it. Just give it to Scuba
Steve until you get back. Okay, I'm your trip, but
we know which one is yours. Your number is nine
nine nine, all right, nine, all right, let's do this
is uh Fisher. We're gonna play this from the show
this morning. Be a partner Hope if you can. Here's
Fisher and his mom talking about Fisher went to Saint Jude.

(31:14):
I think she was awesome. And we've spent you know,
today's show and tomorrow show raising money for the hospital.
Because that's what's up. And I we'll just go to
the interview now, thanks show and the b team giving
Saint you kids the greatest gift Hope.

Speaker 10 (31:31):
Seven eighteen hundred.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
That's the number you can call to become a partner
in Hope. We'll get back to that number in a second.
The heck, I'll say it again, one eight hundred seven
nine five eighteen hundred.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Special guests in studio now Fisher and his mom, Felena
and Fisher Holiday Buddy eleven years old. Yeah, so how
long you've been eleven exactly? I know, a year a whole.
Are you about to have a birthday?

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah? Oh, Simmer nineteenth.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Let's go. Okay, that's coming up quick. Maybe i'll give
you a or someth before you leave. But if you
want a present, I don't know what I have, but
I can probably got something. Huh. So Fisher has brain cancer?

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Right?

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Had had?

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Okay? Good?

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Because this is why I want your mom. Will you
tell me about the process, like how you learned, like
the very early on, how you learned Fisher had something
like the cancer you later realized it was cancer, But
how that happened.

Speaker 7 (32:22):
It started off with just a few random headaches, and
it progressed really fast. It went from a few random
the next week was every morning. The following week was
every morning and every afternoon. And then that following week,
on Wednesday, he got sick at school, so they called
me to go get him. They thought he had a
stomach bug, but when I picked him up, he was like, Mom,

(32:43):
this headache. So we went to urgent care, who told
us it was a sinus infection. And I was like,
he's just not a complainer. So I scheduled him to
see his regular pediatrician on the friday. He was passing
all of his neurological test. He showed no symptoms of
like a balance, inconsistency or anything. So she kind of

(33:07):
felt the same that, you know, baby, it is sinuses,
give it a couple more days.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Did you feel that were wrong? Like as a mom,
did you feel that they probably didn't have a total grasp.

Speaker 7 (33:18):
Of it in my gut? I don't know. There was
just a part of me that was like, something's just
not right.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
But I don't know.

Speaker 7 (33:28):
We're just a pretty laid back family, so I didn't
throw up any immediate red flags.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Sure, were the headaches different than like a normal headache?
Not really, So there was no reason for you to
think other than you'd probably it could have been sinuses
or something.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Right.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
The only thing that I thought is why am I
getting them every day consistently?

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Because you've never had that happen never, So then what
do you do after they say sinus infection.

Speaker 7 (33:51):
We were just gonna take them antibotics and give it
a couple more days. But on the Saturday we couldn't
get the headache to go away. He was miserable. We
tried to make a trip to the camp, thinking, you know,
if it is migraines that are starting from him kind
of getting older, maybe if we distract him.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
What's the camp?

Speaker 7 (34:11):
Our dear camp got him. So we, you know, thought
let's get a distraction for the weekend. And on the
way there, he was in so much pain that I
was like, this is clearly not a sign as headache.
We made it there for an hour or two, loaded
back up, and had my husband just drop us off
at the door of the ere.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Okay, so they want to know, Okay, you've had headache,
and you tell them you went to the urgent care,
you went to the doctor. This is what they've said,
So what do they do that's different?

Speaker 7 (34:41):
In the lobby, he kind of stumbled and I got
a little alarmed, so I went and tell the nurse, like,
that's unusual, something's not right. I guess we were just
blessed by that nurse. She kind of pushed the issue
quick and within about ten minutes we were in the back.
He had already had his CT and they were starting
an ivy and they had already given him like pain medicine.

(35:06):
And within forty five minutes of being there, the doctor
came in and told us that he had a mass
on his brain and that that was an ambulance waiting
for us to be transported.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
What do you remember about that fisher that day, like
the hospital and all that, What do you remember?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
All I really remember is getting out of the camper,
walking in, going to sleep, and waking up in a room.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Really and it's gonna be hard to describe the emotion,
but when they say there's something on his brain, like,
what do you think? As a mom it was.

Speaker 7 (35:38):
Like, I think I was just stunned. There was a
part of me, like I said, that had that kind
of gut feeling that like something wasn't wrong right, But
I never thought that. And it was just so much
to take in and it went so fast.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Where are they taken from there?

Speaker 7 (35:57):
They took him to the Saint Jude affiliate in Baton Rouge.
It was about midnight when they got us there.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
And what happens when you arrived there? Do they go
to work immediately trying to figure out.

Speaker 7 (36:07):
Why we had doctors waiting already that we're there to
talk to us multiple doctors. They already had a game plan,
already had him on the schedule for in the morning.
What was going to happen. Their goal for that night
was just to make sure he stayed comfortable and to
get a team together for the morning.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
I imagine you didn't sleep much.

Speaker 7 (36:28):
Yeah, it was an unusual feeling, like yesterday. I was
looking back because yesterday was one year that we walked
into the ere. So like to walk in and read
the oncology floor, like you never think, wow, this is
going to be me, and you know, my child walking

(36:49):
through an oncology floor. So I remember like that night
when he was sleeping, it just kept like I just
kept replaying when you walk through you know it's that
Saint Jude affiliate, but it's the oncology floor, and.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
It had to be like is this even real it?

Speaker 7 (37:04):
I think it took a couple of days.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, like it's like what because you're right, you never
actually picture it being you or even worse, your kid, Like.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
I remember my grandmother my entire life with the Saint
Jude kids on her refrigerator because you know she would
donate and never in a million years do you think, wow,
that might be my kid's picture.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
You know, when do they and what do they tell you,
Like the next day or the next couple of days
when they can give you more information about it.

Speaker 7 (37:37):
They told us the mass was stable and then he
wasn't bleeding or anything. His situation was rather critical because
there was so much The pressure that he was holding
in his head could have started causing life threatening things
like on the spot.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
And that's the headache, the pressure, Yes, of the ten masses,
that's the headache. And that's why it hurts so bad.

Speaker 7 (37:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Wow, So and I have a lot more I want
to get to. But Fisher wearing a cowboy hat there,
I saw some signatures. Who is That's what's happening in
Sam Hunt? You met Landy Wilson at Sam Mind? Where'd
you meet them?

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Laney was the exact day on my last chemo, Sam was.
They were both at Saint Jude.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
That's pretty cool. Do you like Lanny? You beg Landy fan?

Speaker 10 (38:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
She's pretty awesome. So, Okay, here's what we're gonna do here.
And by the way, if you're listening and we're gonna
talk more about specifically Saint Jude in just a second,
you can become a partner and hope and help people
like Fisher. You can text one eight hundred seven nine

a favorite Landy Wilson song?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
One of my really good friends that I met there,
It was wild Horses and wild Flowers.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
She was there in music therapy. They let her make
curln songs. She called it a wild ride through radiation,
m the.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Bobby Bones Show and Saint Jude. You guys can become
a partner in hope. So I'll give you the number

text later. But the number to call. We have people
standing by right now. One eight hundred seven nine to
five eighteen hundred. Become a partner in hope nineteen dollars
a month and you will help kids at Saint Jude
fight cancer. And I don't just say those words, like

(39:27):
we have Fisher here who is eleven. He's about to
be twelve though, like almost immediately. Hey, life changes when
you're twelve. Do you know that? Like you can't even
stop your arport here from going. It grows so much
you have down to your knees in like a day.
Don't you know that?

Speaker 3 (39:38):
Man, don't scare them.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Oh, I'm just saying, twelve is a whole different ballgame.
Fisher had brain cancer and we were talking with Flanta,
his mom a few minutes ago, and we got to
the point where you were at like this Saint judeah
Philly and Baton Rouge. At what point did the doctor say, hey,
we want to send you to the Saint Jude in Memphis? Like,
how does that conversation happen?

Speaker 7 (39:59):
When the they made a game plan that they were
going to go ahead and do his first brain surgery
to remove the tumor on the front of his brain.
They said, we're going to do this, he'll be stable,
and then we're going to send everything to Saint Jude
and have their team look at it, and then you'll
get a better game plan. So we did the surgery
the following day and then they told us, oh, you'll

(40:22):
have about two weeks before it was holidays, was Thanksgiving break.
We were about ten minutes from home and one of
their doctors called and said, we need you to turn around. Man,
he's you know, he's got one of tumors that's going
to cause an issue. He gave us till he said,
I need you, you know, on the road by like
two am. So do you live in Louisiana?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
So do you start because I think what I would
start doing is googling everything about the brain. I mean
I'd be an expert the cerebellum, the Surrey room, yes,
and probably getting myself in trouble, like learn it you do?

Speaker 7 (40:58):
Yeah, before we had our team conference with the doctors.
You know, everybody's like, don't go down that rabbit hole.
But as a parent, you can't not because you want
to know, you know, how do you fix it? And
you do? You read all the things that you probably
shouldn't read for his case. His cancer type is it's

(41:20):
it's like it's a lot. It can go many different ways.
There's all subgroups and subtypes and markers, and you kind
of you know, I have no medical background at all.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
And it's the brain, right, it's the brain, which we
know nothing. I mean I know nothing about the brain.
It's we know nothing, very little about the brain. And
so I can understand where a lot of anxiety would
set in because of just in general cancer with your kid, yep,
but then brain and.

Speaker 7 (41:45):
Then they tell you, like any of the surgeries, we
don't know what's going to come out of it, not
just the cancer, but what side effects is he going
to have? Will he be able to walk again?

Speaker 2 (41:55):
When you get to Saint Jude Fisher in Memphis, what's
that like?

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Giant? Very big. Most of the people, all of the
people there, they they don't look like they're not happy.
Not a day that all was there. No, one's not
happy to be there, even if they are inside, they
don't show in it at all.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Such a positive vibe. Yeah, and you get there and
like the doctors like, how did they talk to you?

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Pretty calm, collected?

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Yeah, the fact you toward collected at eleven is amazing.
I just learned that like last year to say collected.
Look at you? So tell me about like the process,
like what starts to happen? And how long were you there? Total?

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Two months in twenty three and then we had the
break for Christmas that we went back for my birthday
in Christmas and then we were there for ten months.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Right about you're all in Yeah, do you make a
lot of friends there. Oh yeah, really yes, a lot
of kids that are going through similar things. What do
you guys do there for fine?

Speaker 1 (42:57):
I mean around there. Some times you can get free
and go places, but most of it they have their
second floor.

Speaker 11 (43:06):
It is.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Been too long, so it's been there. Can't make makerspace.
There's music lounge. They have three D printers. They always
have like different crafts out every day. They have a
wood engraver, vinyl stuff.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
It's a lot of stuff for you do when you
say go free, like they don't let you go like
Bill Street, hang out.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Like the put put places.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
We talk a lot about how when people become a
partner and hope, which is why we we do these shows,
which is why I've done it for years. That the
nineteen dollars a month goes to help the kids, that
Saint You'd fight cancer, and that families never receive a bill.
Can you speak on that never receiving a bill?

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Part of it.

Speaker 7 (43:55):
I can't imagine going through the day to days of
keeping track of the medicines or the appointments, or what's
working or what's not working, and then on the back
end worrying how are we going to pay? You know,
it's a lot there, but there's no stress. You're not

(44:17):
worried about, you know, simple things of like can we
go eat out tonight because that's what he's hungry for.
Because they allow you to have your entire focus on
your child. I was never worried about you know what,
Bill is my husband getting at home? You know, how
is this going to affect our family long term? Will
we ever come out of it? Because we knew that

(44:40):
him being here, not only was he getting taken care of,
you know, but that our family was going to be
able to keep it together.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
And that's why we encourage you guys that are listening
that if you can become a partner and hope, the
nineteen dollars makes such a difference. So you can call
eight hundred seven nine to five, eighteen hundred. We've got
people here waiting. You get the black crew neck sweatshirt.
It says Pip and Joy. It's the Bobby Bone Show.
So what about whenever you guys did chemo radiation? How

(45:11):
long was that and just from knowing other people that have
gone through it, it's terrible for everybody involved. How long
did you have to do it and how intense was it?

Speaker 7 (45:22):
For him, they chose six weeks of radiation. It was
thirty rounds, with twenty being all over and the last
ten being aimed directly at the tumors remaining. His cancer
was higher risk and it was being aggressive, so they
chose to add chemo with that. So every day he

(45:44):
woke up and did chemo and then went to do
radiation after which you don't see that often with children,
and then he got a short break and then we
started the hard chemo that was four chemos or three
chemos together over a four day span. He would do that,
and then as soon as his body showed like it

(46:04):
was recovering, they would just start another round.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
At what point did you feel like we are progressing,
like we might actually do this.

Speaker 7 (46:16):
I got hopeful when a couple of weeks after radiation ended,
they said we were seeing a response, so be hopeful
that even though he was stage three, we're seeing a response.
So that was probably our first turning point, and I
think it was what gave us, you know, something to

(46:38):
look forward to and help us through that next couple
of months that were pretty hard.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
When did you finish chemo first round or second round?
All done? When we were all done the last the
last few months. Yeah, did you do it? You ring
a bell?

Speaker 1 (46:52):
I know what.

Speaker 7 (46:56):
He was very upset over.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
No, I saw a video of it and the second
it was done, where's my belt?

Speaker 5 (47:03):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (47:05):
How did it feel to finish it?

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Amazing? I got to go do the things with my
friends that I've always done.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
That's the best part about being home and not haven't
worry about that anymore. What's your favorite memory from being
at Saint Jude. There's a lot, Give me a couple.
There are no wrong answers here.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
I mean meeting Sam uh, probably meeting a lot of
my friends there.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Yeah, pretty cool. How they keep that environment huh Like
it kind of sucks, I want to be honest. That
why people are there. But it's such a positive place
with everyone that is there. What would you tell another
kid Fisher that's listening right now, if they're starting to
go through something like this.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
You you're the one that knows what to say.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
I'm done. If one of your friends would any case,
they're like, what worry about? Yeah, what would you say?

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Nothing to worry about?

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Like Saint Jude's got you. Yeah, that's awesome. What would
you say, Oh, you know, it's great. I just keep
thinking about that you're the magnet on the fridge or
like your grandma's fridge, that of saint you kids.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
It's hard even now we get home and I've gotten
too since we've been home, and it's kids that we
met that were living in the same housing as us,
you know.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
That are now on like them. Yes, and its pictures.

Speaker 7 (48:28):
It's the most unusual feeling, but like it hurts your
heart to see them and then realize, you know, like
it's not just a picture, like it was a kid
we met and we played outside and drove remote controls
with or and there's just no way for people to
know that kid's story, you know.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
And to a lot of parents out there, I would
say most to think, wow, this probably will never happen
to me. I mean that was that was you who
thought like that's what never happened to you? This just
happens in like on TV abs. But it did. And
if someone's listening now, they're thinking about it being a
partner in hope, like what would you what would you
ask them that you.

Speaker 7 (49:06):
Please consider this. There's no way to describe watching your
child go through the treatment that they need, but not
having to worry about. If you can pay for what's
going to save their life. I will forever be grateful
for that.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
So if you're listening now, you can text the word
Bobby to seven eight five eight three three, click the
link from Saint Jude to donate. That link is okay
to click. If you text the word Bobby which is
my name, to seven eight five eight three three, you'll
get a link from Saint Jude. Click the link, fill
it out. For nineteen bucks a month, you can help
kids like Fisher at Saint Jude fight cancer. Another great

(49:45):
thing is any of the research they do, they share
it openly and freely with everybody, every hospital, everyone. So
even if you know you're you're you're not at Saint
Jude and you're at a hospital somewhere else, like that
research that these you know people are listening to become
partners up with their funding. It goes out to help
other kids all around the country. So for sure, you're

(50:06):
a pretty cool kid. You never know some kids aren't
that cool. You're pretty cool, man, I got admit, you're
pretty cool. Have birthday.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Thank you pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
We'll get to be twelve.

Speaker 10 (50:17):
Now.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
Remember the arm pit here thing? You are the odorant? Okay,
good because some kids don't wear the odor it because
they're like my arm pets don't sneak yet. But like
now it's time. I'm just gonna be that guy. I'm
gonna be your friend and let you know, like it'sign
shot wearing the odorant, even if it doesn't smell that bad.
But not too much cologne. Do you have work alone?

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Oh my gosh, my brother.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Oh okay, so you know what it's like. You know
what the too much?

Speaker 10 (50:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Yeah, okay, cologne? Yes, extremely strong and you're only supposed.

Speaker 2 (50:45):

He's fourteen?

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Okay, he like.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
Holds it down.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
You have an example, then we can do a little clone,
but don't do the holding it down. I feel like
you're a smart guy.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
You got this.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
You can spray it and then walk through it.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
And only once and only on special occasions, mostly deodorant.
But then if it's like, you know, yeah, something, you
do a look alone, big day, big up here, maybe
a look long. You know, I don't I know ever
work long. Okay, so this is every day for you,
though I know it's ply pretty special, like to me,
people like you. This is pretty cool for me, pretty
cool day for me. You're out there, you're listening. Now,

seven nine to five, eighteen hundred, or text the word
Bobby to seven eight five eight three three. Thank you
guys for coming up. You have made such a difference.
I know you may just be thinking by your stopping
by this goofballs show, but like you have made such
a difference in being up here sharing your story, and
I think this and people hearing this, I mean, will

(51:45):
be the version of somebody singing on a refrigerator and
one day there you know, you know, the world works
in weird ways. All right, Fisher, I'm gonna be watching
for you. What do you want to do when you
grow up? What's the deal?

Speaker 1 (51:57):
I'm hoping to either exceed my dream and be a
professional uh not motocross in duro racer.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Okay, I don't know. I know motocross. I don't know
what enduro is. It's is it like long time riding
a bike for like hours and days.

Speaker 7 (52:13):
Like racing through the woods.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Oh, like cross country running but for motorcycles.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Yeah, but motocross is track see everything, and it's only
for like five minutes. My races are the younger kid,
it's like twenty minutes races do I do? It's like
forty five minutes.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
The wins compared to do you keep going? Yeah, you
got this, so that's what you want to do. Yeah,
you have a bike. One time my friend had a
mopad I got on it. You don't mopad is it's
like a wingie bike.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Yeah, I wrecked it like five minutes, fell over immediately,
never got on it again. So I'm scared of those.
You're you're a bigger dude than I am. Uh Okay, Fisher,
you're the man flying to Thank you so much. Everybody
out there. Become a partner in hope if you can.
If you can't afford it right now, we totally get it.

help change lives. One eight hundred seventy nine five eighteen
hundred and we'll be back.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
Wakey, wakey, eggs and baky.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
It's time for the Bobby Bones pre show. Here's your host, Bones,
that's on me. You weren't ready, No, it wasn't that.
I think I explained it to Ray wrong. Oh yeah,
I think I explained it to keep us up. I
think I explained it to Rayrong. Did anybody hear my explanation?
I said, just do a normal intro. Okay, that's what
I thought, And I think Ray thought normal intro was
pre show. I met regular morning show because we're doing

(53:28):
two shows, right, we have the Saint Jude Show, and
some of our a Philliates can't carry the Saint Jude Show.
And also I want our podcast listeners to have content
for today as well, and so I was not as
descriptive as I should have been. I said, Ray, give
me the normal Bobby Bone Show morning intro that they
hear at the front of the podcast. I think what
Ray heard was give me the morning the pre show,

(53:49):
so you know what that's on me? You know it
sounded great. I was confused.

Speaker 12 (53:54):
Yeah, I hit it, hit it, transmitting.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
Alisa, Hey, welcome to Thursday show morning Studio Mine. Okay,
so we're doing the Saint Jude radiothon. That's not this show.
This is gonna be content that we would have done
had we not done the Saint Jude Radiothon. But we
appreciate every single partner and hope we'll give you a
chance to be a partner and hope in this as well,
because we kind of hang our hats on this. We're
very passionate about it, and we hope you guys, for

(54:27):
nineteen bucks a month can be a partner in Hope.
I can actually give you the number and then I
got a lot of stuff to talk about. But if
you want to text and be a partner in Hope,
which you can all the way through Sunday, I think
you can text the word Bobby to seven eight five
eight three three, and so become a partner in Hope.
Text the word Bobby to seven eight five eight three three.
You get a Pimp and Joy sweatshirt that's made just
for today. You you really do. It does help. I

(54:50):
mean parents don't pay bills. There are no bills for
travel or housing or food and so more of that
to come. But we are very passionate about it. We
spend two days you know, of the show doing it.
So if you can become a partner, and I hope
that would be awesome. I'd like to say, avn't had
a meal in three days, Emmy, aal meal, And I
say that a little southern. I've had a stomach bug

(55:13):
for about three days, and I'm like sixty percent better,
which is great because you know how amy when you're
sick for a long time and then you finally are
just a little less sick, You're like, oh, llelujah, I
feel great, like run a marathon, like it feels so good.
And so there's a bit whenever I like push to talk.
We were doing like commercials and stuff, and you got
to have a little more umph, little energy. I had
to pause and be like, ooh, I might throw up,

(55:35):
or am I puma pants?

Speaker 3 (55:37):
That'd be terrible.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
It will be terrible. Not too good to say. It's
happened before and recently so but I'm feeling pretty good.
But I avn't had a real meal in three days.
Crackers that type thing.

Speaker 4 (55:48):
Oh yeah, stuff that you can keep down.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
But I only say that now because I'm starting to
feel better, which is awesome.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
What do you think is going to be your first meal?

Speaker 3 (55:57):
Why'd you say it like that meal?

Speaker 4 (55:59):
That's why I say I.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Didn't think anything weird about it. People make fun of
me mual because it's like two syllables and it's like
I am straight from the cement pond. At the Beverly
Hill Bellies.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
You're saying, like mill.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Meal anyway, I don't know, It'll be something light and.

Tight, you know, I don't know if you're craving something.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
No, I have no need to eat anything, like I
don't want to eat anything I need to. But it's
like I'm not even hungry when I woke up this morning,
Like I have my first whole thing first of all,

my body is healing. I'm ready to my body be
like I'm starving.

Speaker 10 (59:19):
Well, her co worker chat. I went to the bathroom
at the end of the show and Abby there was
a side table, and I guess Amy and maybe Shatira
and Stevenson were I didn't look because I was there
to make sure somebody showed up. And I told Scooba
about my school girlfriend and she drew up pre New

(59:44):
yeary party and nobody showed up. But she got so trashed,
so we didn't get to go to any of the
other events because she was so done. But uh about that,
what happened? What happened if nobody shows up? That's why
I grow to make sure that somebody was there. And
I and I teddy what awesome awful parents were there.

(01:00:07):
But her mother's best friend was because I met her
because I sit next to I know the story about
all of y'all, but I'd love That's why I call
it the Bondball Family Show, because you're always so enthusiastic
and you give so much wisdom, But you really are
a family. Y'all really care about each other sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
But that's a real family.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
We're family.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
We want to kill it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
We want to kill each other. To any of these shows,
you here like they're all friends all the time, best friend,
best friend. That's they're full of crowd. They don't even
like each other in real life. And the and these
shows you hear podcasts they fight with each other on
and then they come back the next day. I mean,
isn't that what family is? Yes, you want to punch
them in the freaking head, But then you're.

So please don't stop.

Speaker 10 (01:01:11):
Okay, Hey, can I tell you the ultimate? Tell me
something good?

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
I would love to hear it.

Speaker 10 (01:01:17):
I mean, I lived, it's my life. January twenty nineteen.
I was I was fine, felt fine, but I was
installing a rural mailbox at the wrong house on the
wrong street. My brain obviously wasn't getting up oxygen, and

(01:01:40):
uh so I flopped over and if I'd been on
the right street, at the right house, my anonymous guardian
Angel would not have been driving by and saw me
flop over, and apparently she started CPR, got hold. I
call the second first responders aka the Fort Washington Hospital,

(01:02:03):
shout out our Fort Washington Rescue squad team and when
they got to me, my heart was beating one or
two times a minute. So they got me in the
rescue mobile and they're raising me the Fort Washington Hospital
and along the way they had to zapp me three

(01:02:25):
times and they're racing me through their murgency room door
and I flatlined on them and flatlined thirty three minutes.
But the medical teams, the professionalism and the coordination amongst
all of them. Fort Washington Hospital knew that with their

(01:02:49):
staff that I was way above their capabilities saved my life.
They already had a METAVAC on the way, so they
got me on life support and airbacked me. Met it
BacT me to Menstall Washington d C. I was on
life support there nine days. They ran brain scans and

(01:03:13):
brought me back to life and I didn't come out
for uh. That was on the age. I came back
started to come back to on twenty four and I
got released on my fifty seventh birthday four days later,
and uh, but there's more to the rest of the story,

(01:03:34):
or there is a rest of the story. So I
flopped over and one of the spectators, one of the neighbors,
my HIC was parked in front of driveway. So she
found it, you know, proper to move it, and found

(01:03:54):
one of my business cards. So I'm a small company.
I only had three but work with me. Their names
are me and myself and I. So if me or I,
don't do it. But she called that number and uh,
you know, obviously that's just going to go to voicemail

(01:04:16):
and uh, but she had the perseverance and the competency
and thought the solution to the problem. Didn't think the problem.
The problem's already there, but she thought the solution. That's
why I came up with that line. Have a problem,
think the solution. So what she did was she googled
my company. And because I bought my home from my

(01:04:38):
sister fifteen years prior and never had a landline, my
sister's number was still associated with to her old address,
and that's how my family found out.

Speaker 4 (01:04:48):
Oh wow, oh my god, crazy, because otherwise, yeah, they
wouldn't have known where he was.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
And so what you're saying too, is that your this
was going to happen to you regardless, like physically, You're
body was going to give out, And had you been
at the other place where you were supposed to be
that person that did all this work, would not have
been there to have seen you fall over and then
follow through like that.

Speaker 10 (01:05:12):
I come from a very Catholic family. Four of my
five ants for Catholic nuns. My fifth one never took
her final vow because she took care of my grandmother
was utterly. Bishop Soulvan of Richmond is my second cousin.
I guess that's the way we're always put told. My

(01:05:39):
my father's brother married Bishop Soulsan's sister, So I don't
know if that's second cousin, but that's out the math let.
Two of my aunts are buried at Saint Mary's across
from their dame, and so is one of our close
family friends, sister John Frederick. And if you've never been
to the granit another game. I'm telling you it's the

(01:06:01):
most humbling experience in my entire life. I mean it is,
so it's just it's so warm and humbling and just awesome.
But I don't know, but I don't have the five
Bow family. But that is that's my love story. And

(01:06:26):
and you know, my favorite county is PG County. I
live across the river. I caught unfair tax County. It's
Philly Fairfax County. I'm caught unfair tax. That's a probably. Well,
it's the wealthiest black community in America. These are the
night I don't My father's like, what are you doing
working over there? Don't you read the paper, don't you
watch the news? I said, Dad, I don't work in

(01:06:48):
a partner the townhouses. I work at single family homes.
And Dad, I'm telling you, these are the most kindest, nicest,
most grateful, god fearing people. So anyway, I was living
with my father last three and a half years of
his life, and uh, and I was working over in
PG County. And this is uh way back in two

(01:07:11):
thousand and two thousand and one. I've been in business
six years and always you know, just I'm just telling you,
it's an awesome community. So annyway up, all these people
would mail their checks to me, and they always had
a post it note or a thank you card, and

(01:07:32):
it was all PG County. And my dad's referring to
my mail as my love letters. And yep, and I'm
telling you what I'm color brod. And I know your
show is as well. I know how close you are
to like Kane Brown and Various Rucker and and Amy
with you know, a gospel.

Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
Now we understand, I know, we understand what you're saying.
Unless we can't, we eventually have to move on to
something else here, but we really appreciate that. I also
like in real life from color blind. But also I'm
not colorblind, Like I do see color. And I think
every everybody that does a different color of skin, you know,
it goes through different things. And you know, someone goes, oh,
I don't see color. I kind of think that's a lie.
I do see color, and I do understand people go
through different things because of how they were born and

(01:08:17):
what they were born into. But I do understand your sentiment,
and I also agree with your sentiment. But that that's crazy,
that the whole, the whole crazy. I'm glad we give
James some space here air.

Speaker 4 (01:08:26):
That out his own personal tell me something good.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
A great listener and a great caller, and we've never.

Speaker 4 (01:08:31):
Spent one day one day, one day I want him
to call and leave us a voicemail about why he
was doing the wrong mailbox. I know that that worked
out in his favor, but you know, we have stories
sometimes where people, you know, throw a wrecking ball into
the wrong house and it's like whoop. See I mean
a male you know, how do you make the what
was the mix up? You know?

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
Well, sometimes they can't. They reckon ball the wrong house. Yes, yeah,
that's what I'm saying. Did you say that? Yeah, it's ready.
Get text from somebody saying this is a long call.

Speaker 4 (01:08:58):
When you said that, well that's why I said to
call back and leave us.

Speaker 2 (01:09:03):
I know, sorry, I wasn't.

Speaker 9 (01:09:04):
I'd also like a voicemail to see like what happened
when he would flatline for thirty minutes?

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
Like what did he see? Great?

Speaker 2 (01:09:09):
Leave James, buddy, We're going to send you that stuff.
Thank you for listening, and we'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 10 (01:09:14):
Okay, man, Hey, take care of both family team, and
take care of the children. They're just fighting for their laugh.
And uh. The other thing is you can say, Bob
because you've never been a father, but you've always been
supportive of Saint dudes, and like you know, I'm an
uncle many times though, But well, actually I have a
great uncle and a couple of years from now, assuming

(01:09:36):
the Lord gets me extra time, more exercise, I'll be
a great great uncle because uh, I come for a
very Catholic family, very small plan. But I'll tell you what,
Uh they're breeding like well, mate, been breeding pretty quick
my whole life.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
Look, we can do a whole hour with James, I
feel pretty easily. I definitely wanted to give James room
to stretch out and talk to us a little bit.
Don't want to be rude, but I do have to
move on, James. But we we really appreciate you. We're
going to send you some stuff.

Speaker 10 (01:10:04):
Okay, buddy, all right, take care of the family, your
pop bone family, take care of the children.

Speaker 4 (01:10:10):
But oh, y'all, thanks James.

Speaker 10 (01:10:12):
James.

Speaker 2 (01:10:12):
By the fact they drove ten hours to make sure
Abby didn't have a party by herself, amazing. That's why
that guy gets to talk for fifteen minutes. And let's
just sit back and listen.

Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
And it's like you never know the gain of something
that happens, like when it's rough. But like Abby benefited
from his this guy's James's girlfriend's party that she's party
two years back where nobody showed up and she drank
too much. Like then that that benefited Abby.

Speaker 2 (01:10:36):
I always like people started to call 'm my black
friends too, just to be like, I know you like
black people. Let me list out your black friends. And
I have more black friends than that, but you know,
yeah I can, and I'm like, you know, yeah, yeah,
I don't any I don't think he was doing it
from home at all. I think he was just like
you like everybody. And I always think it's funny when
it's like here's one, here's your one.

Speaker 9 (01:10:55):
Did think you're talking about your eye's eyes?

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
Me too?

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
Color blind? And I'm like, I am that color bloe.
But I just want to state I'm not colorblind toward
what people go through being different from different places and
different races, like uh yeah, yeah, I always love onen.
Some'th like a listen black friends. They forgot Charlemagne, they
forgot I got like nine others. But there's ever a
complete list. We can want to do that.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
I'm odd.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
Yeah, I meant.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
I got lots of Mexican friends too. We need to
do that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
We go down that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:21):
I'm forty okay, man, I had so I had a
huge list to get to of stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:11:29):
Real.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Yeah, thank you? Could you guys hear Scoopa say that
or just thank you? I do want to talk about stealing.
We can't. And I know it's nobody here, but I'll
burn the building down if people start stealing from this office.
People are taking stuff from my office, which there's no
I don't put a lot in there. Because of the

(01:11:51):
last building we were in, people stole like good stuff,
meaning it doesn't matter if they're still bad stuff. I'm
still pissed, but they still like I had. For example,
I've known Laney Wilson since before she had a record deal,
and she had written this real nice thing and it
was like, you know, once artist, if I've had a

(01:12:11):
relationship with them, or if like help them or whatever.
And she definitely didn't need my help. And I'm not
saying that, but I'm saying like I was a big
supporter early, early, early, and we had to do show,
a million dollar show with us, and so she wrote
this thing about ever somebody stole it out of my office.
That was just one of many things like that was
valuable to me because that has like sentimental value. How
could I get Landy to sign something tomorrow. Yeah, but

(01:12:33):
that's that's the point of it. So we started like somebody,
sy'll raise hot pockets, Oh yeah from the freezer. Yeah,
even better, Brazer. That was a little different. If anybody starts,
if we I'll burn the building down. Don't if it's good.
But what do we know.

Speaker 8 (01:12:53):
I'm not really sure what's happening, but I sent an
email to two important people that says the water is
gone in our green green room. The fridge was stocked
on Monday, and we had a pack in the cabinet.
Now nothing. It's not just about the water disappearing, it's
the principle of it. Someone came into the green you said, yeah, yeah,
someone came in my office the ground. Yeah, well, no
one stole from your office this time.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
Well, the green room is.

Speaker 8 (01:13:15):
The greenom is still our space. That's why I said,
this is our space open though. Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
You shouldn't walk in someone's your desk and just start
taking your pencils.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
It's just a little easier to if a place is
wide open, and.

Speaker 4 (01:13:24):
You're only going to burn it down if it's your office.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
Because it's locked, someone has to get in there with
a key and has to know somebody that's different.

Speaker 8 (01:13:30):
But no one stole from your office this time.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
If I'll just say this about the green room, if
like you work in this building, they shouldn't take anything
of ours. There's a wide open community refrigerator. I'll probably
take water two from that. I'll be honest.

Speaker 4 (01:13:43):
The green room is not a community refrigerator.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
But it's wide open.

Speaker 8 (01:13:47):
There's a community fridge in.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Over here in the green rooms open and there's a
water and there. I'll probably wouldake one of those. I
wouldn't burn it down for that.

Speaker 8 (01:13:54):
You had to take all the waters.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Yeah, no, that sucks one bottle, sure, take the case.

Speaker 8 (01:13:59):
My point is like and a full fridge.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
Let's just it's the whole case.

Speaker 3 (01:14:02):
The whole case.

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
They're thirsty they need now, I'm sympathetic to their problem.
Just ask them office. It totally switches. Yeah, we can't
have stealing here. I want to I'll not come in.
You heard me say it. If people start stealing, I'll
just work from home for the rest of my life.

Speaker 4 (01:14:24):
Mm hmm. Okay, okay, And.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
That's up to you guys to figure out what you're.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
Doing and deal with that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
If they sold the whole case, that's a dirty dog.
It's somebody's like taking a water too. That's not a
big deal from like the mate from that area.

Speaker 4 (01:14:39):
But a whole case isn't a matter of three days,
all right, it's a lot of water.

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
I feel like this is all interrvial so far. But
what isn't about our show?

Speaker 9 (01:14:47):
I will say though, Like I walked by one of
the conference rooms and they had these nice tumblers that
said iHeartMedia on it and now I thought about getting one,
but good thing I didn't because they had a meeting
right after that for all those people.

Speaker 4 (01:14:56):
They were laid out for people in the meeting community.

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
But I did think about it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
It sounds like community to me.

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
Okay, don't see, there was a meeting the other day.
That room was so full of people and I was like.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
Who, I don't even know who they were?

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
All they were yesterday? No I met the dentist. This
is different. This was like, I don't know. They looked
like they worked here doing.

Speaker 8 (01:15:16):
Something there renting space. They rent out space or lett
people use space to work in office. It's the thing
I guess in larger cities where you.

Speaker 4 (01:15:25):
Can use space boardroom sharing.

Speaker 8 (01:15:27):
It's almost like that we work, but a version of
that where it's like, hey, come by with my wife,
for example in San Francisco.

Speaker 4 (01:15:35):
Figured out, figured it out, we work. Okay, this all
makes sense now because I feel like I've seen most
people that work in our office.

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
Got microphones and a board recording.

Speaker 4 (01:15:48):
Okay, this totally you know, it's like shared work space.

Speaker 9 (01:15:52):
But I saw that show, and that show is awesome,
Like we worked was cool. They had parties and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
I mean the documentary that was or the as scripted.

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
Show'll show with dared Leto Let's take a while, went
right and then came back.

Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
What do they call that when it's a it's a
real shop.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
A biopic?

Speaker 4 (01:16:08):
Is that what it's called.

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
Yeah, yeah, okay, biopic. We got we got other stuff
to do, real stuff to do. You yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm good. Oh I'm a seventy five percent here, but
I'm good.

Speaker 4 (01:16:19):
Oh no, you've already gone up fifteen percent because earlier sixty.

Speaker 3 (01:16:22):
James did that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
Let's do and what we're gonna do to just everybody knows.
I know we're live on the stream right now, but
we're gonna put this as the second half of the
podcast that goes up today. Okay, Scooba, when we put
them this as a whole podcast, yes, but this is
the second half. It's to the first half because we're
gonna break in a minute. Okay, but we'll put this
in the second half because we got like stuffed. Do

(01:16:43):
we need to do that? Really? Put this at the front.

Speaker 8 (01:16:45):
I see what we're saying. Yes, I know where you're
going with this.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Thank you, let's go, Ray give me voicemare number four days?

Speaker 11 (01:16:51):
What up? Bobby Bones? I left you a voicemail about
a month ago about going to rehabbing Man, Do I
sound silly being like I'm going for this person and
I'm doing it for this Hell no, my mind was
changed very quickly. I am healing myself by myself, for myself,
and the rest is yet to come. In love, y'all,

(01:17:11):
I made it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
Oh well, I don't know how I feel about that.
But first of all, death sounds twelve in this clip?
Does it death sound very young?

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
Does a woman got it?

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
I thought, is there a young boy or a woman?

Speaker 5 (01:17:26):
But she sounds very excited?

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Played the original for me.

Speaker 11 (01:17:29):
Hello, Boby Bones.

Speaker 13 (01:17:31):
I'm currently taking off on a six hour drive to
the mental health facility in Denver, Colorado, my last chance
to save my family. I struggled with addiction and mental health.
My whole life is wondering if you could tell my
wife Jessica that I love her and I'm going to
miss her and I'm doing this for her. And this
was the most gangs three I've ever done. I love you, guys,

(01:17:52):
and you're gonna get me through this.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Thank you sounds more adult there because she's crying, I think,
and she also mentions wife, which is you have to
be adult.

Speaker 10 (01:17:59):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
I don't like the first voicemail at all. I know
you guys are like a good I don't like it
at all. Why do you know how hard it is
to do it by yourself?

Speaker 4 (01:18:06):
No, no, no, I think what she's saying now, she went, she went,
she's out, she spent her days there, and she's saying,
because you encourage. What happened was she sent that note
and then you said, hey, look, I know that you're
saying you're doing this for your wife, but you need
to do it for yourself. And this is her follow
up message, saying, like, because that's so true, Like if
you're going to get sober, it has to be for yourself.

(01:18:26):
It can't be for anybody else, or it may not stick.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
Can I hear that one again? Then the first one?

Speaker 11 (01:18:31):
What up, Bobby Bones? I left you a voicemail about
a month ago about going to rehabing. Man, Do I
sound silly being like I'm going for this person? I'm
doing it for this Hell No, my mind was changed
very quickly. I am healing myself by myself, for myself,
and the rest is yet to come. In love, y'all,

(01:18:52):
I made it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:53):
Yeah, she made it through the program. So she went
to Denver, she made it out, and I think quickly
there she learned, Oh, I need to be doing this
for myself.

Speaker 3 (01:19:01):
Got it.

Speaker 4 (01:19:01):
Nobody can do this for me, So I've got to
do it by myself and for myself.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
But obviously I just buy myself is where I got.

Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
I see how that's confusing, But I just remembered what
you told her after the first voicemail was what which
was that, Yeah, that's great you're wanting to do this,
but do this for yourself, because she was like, I'm
doing it for my wife and it's yeah, it has
to be for yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:19:25):
Then that's awesome. Yeah, because my initial actually you can't
do it by yourself.

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
Correct like correct, you need support, but which it seems
like she got the support, and that's when she also
quickly realized that, oh, I can't do this for I mean,
sure you want, you want to sober up for your family,
that makes sense, but at the end of the day,
it has to be for you.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
That's why I wish today we're Thanksgiving, why, because I'm
thankful for you to set me straight on that problem.

Speaker 3 (01:19:50):
Walked right into that it can be Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (01:19:51):
No, it can't be. Sure a few days ago anything.

Speaker 4 (01:19:54):
You practicing gratitude as you doing your Thanksgiving, so that's
what you call it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
You don't have to have turkey and all that, though,
But I haven't had a meal in a few days, so.

Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
That's why you're saying this.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
Yeah, that's all. Hey, look, I just root for you
to have the support that you need. This is one
of those situations, just from dealing with personal experience, that
you need support, and I hope you got it, and
I hope you have it, and I hope you are
doing it for you, because then you will be doing
it for everybody else like it can you're doing, you'll
be doing it for you and it will affect everybody else.
I should say, great, I'm glad Amy interpreted that because
I did not interpret that correctly. Okay, let's see what else.

Speaker 9 (01:20:27):
That first voicemail is tough to hear though. Man's just
driving there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
And I really hope that's what happened. That's what she did.
I want to say that about cursing. Somebody had DM
me said there hear me curse on them like a
podcast or something. I didn't, But I don't care. Like
cursing to me is not bad. I want people to
understand something about me and not cursing. I haven't cursed
in my definition of cursing in I don't know, seven
eight years at this point. I don't not curse because

(01:20:52):
I think cursing is bad. I don't not curse because
there are certain disciplines I like to have inside of
me to just stay sharp, and there are things if
I like pissing off people like well that's curse word, yeah,
but to you. But I don't not curse because I
think there is something inherently wrong with a word I
like to. So if I curse, big deal, I don't care.

(01:21:13):
I like when people don't curse I'm like, White, why
don't you curse your little whim. I don't curse because
when I was writing kids books and I was doing
a bunch of comedy and I was writing, even doing
this show, we don't curse in the studio. So I
was like, I'm just gonna discipline myself to not say
any curse words. And the curse words, to me are
the ones that would get me fine. By the FCC,
the S word, the F word, the C word. That's
a tough one, and that's that's not even really a

(01:21:34):
curse word. She's a nasty one.

Speaker 4 (01:21:35):
Oh that's the worst.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
That's a nasty one. Those to me, that's cursing. And
it's not because I feel like not cursing makes me
better or more in favor in God's eyes in any
way whatsoever. Because I think a sound is just a sound.
Oh got the word, And with that, I would compare
it to this. If I say the F word and
I say it, that's a sound. If I were to

(01:21:57):
travel to Pakistan or Paris, or to somebody who doesn't
speak place it doesn't speak English, I don't know English,
and I say that same word, it means nothing to them.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
There's nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
No, I'm saying, they don't speak English, so it doesn't
matter what the word is. Let me just go for
a second. So you can say any curse word in
English if they don't understand another language. To them, that's
just a sound, the same way they would say a
word in Mandarin and we wouldn't know what that was,
just a sound. So there is nothing inherently bad about
a sound. But if I went to a country that

(01:22:29):
did not speak English and I stole, well, there is
something inherently bad about stealing or killing or like. Those
are actually bad things that, regardless of boundaries of where
you live language culture, like those are bad regardless. Words

(01:22:50):
are just words. I feel like I'd say every sound.
I could say every curse word ever, and it makes
me know better or worse than anybody else that's anywhere
near me or far from me. So if I do
happen to say a curse word, which I haven't, I
don't give a because it's not about that. It literally
is not about me. I don't care. I'm doing a

(01:23:11):
moral thing. People that claim moral are often the opposite
because the people that live moral don't have to claim moral.
It's like, you know who is the meanest in my
Instagram comments or TikTok comment and not TikTok so much,
but Instagram comments or uh, Twitter or Facebook people that
publicly proclaim Bible verses in there or only loving the

(01:23:35):
next person next to me. You don't need to say
that stuff if you're living that stuff. So whenever someone
is like I heard him curse, he said a hypocrite. No,
I'm a hypocrite. I curse all day if I want to.
I don't think it makes me better or worse than you.
Probably probably worse than you anyway. But there's no way
you curse though. There's no way. Oh I know my
version of course. But to some people, like say, pizzing
off is curse or.

Speaker 4 (01:23:59):
Did the d d I s kay.

Speaker 2 (01:24:01):
Sometimes you've said, well, I won't talk about that as
a human body part, but I'm like that dude is
such a dick, Like I don't feel like that. Also,
that's not about That's not a curse word to me.
It could be a word that is.

Speaker 13 (01:24:10):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
I wouldn't say around a kid. I wouldn't be like
lunch box in a car with that these kids, right,
like you know, like I would never say that around
a kid, But I don't consider that to be a
curse word to me, so therefore I don't say it
because it's a self discipline right. The same thing with
the P word. I would never refer to a woman's
body part, but if somebody is like a whimp every once,

(01:24:33):
so I'll be like, why you minchedja posy? Come on?
But I but I would say, there's a different I
would never refer to a guy's body part as that
with a D word, or a woman's body part as
that was but.

Speaker 4 (01:24:47):
Unattractive.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
But I'm just showing there's no rationale to this. There
are no rules that I'm right or wrong about. I'm
living by my standards that I've set myself and everybody
else can suck. I'm just kidding. But but yeah, that's that's
the deal. So I got to tell DM about it. It
was like, you say you don't curse, but we heard
you say the f R and I'm like, no, you didn't.
First of all, no chance, there's no.

Speaker 4 (01:25:08):
Chance, no chance.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
Secondly, who cares. I wouldn't say it on the air
because I don't want to get the fine by the sec.

Speaker 9 (01:25:17):
Well, like, could you go into like a board meeting
like in a company and be.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
Like, all right, here's the deal, like yes, something or
human like a human.

Speaker 3 (01:25:27):
I feel like automatically they'd be like whoa, WHOA.

Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
Well, it depends on It's on the culture.

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
It depends on the culture that's set early. It's just
like even had football coaches. There are some that are
f F f F and that's the culture, and there
are some that are exactly the opposite of that. Or
I would say, let's let's not use bad words, let's
use demeanor. If we're ever after a show and I
just start screaming at everybody, and I'm like, what would

(01:25:53):
that tell you about me that day? Amy? If I
if I'm so mad and I'm just yelling at at
I'm just gonna say you, I've never yelled at you,
but I'm just saying if I'm like, but I'm yelling,
what would you.

Speaker 4 (01:26:02):
Think I based on your demeanor? I would think something
is wrong with you. It's really bad. Like also like
maybe like I don't know, we need to check him
in somewhere, like something totally off if you're screaming or yelling,
because that's not the way.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
You or somebody here did something that was completely detrimental
to what the entire our world is that we built,
and it must be something so severe it's never happened.
I have never just yelled at anyone. I've never, but
if I did, it would be like I'm not okay
or something is really not okay here, right, one of
the two things something to a level. So I would

(01:26:40):
also think if you go into a boardroom and there's
a boardroom, when we have been in boardrooms, we work
here one day and all of a sudden he's got bordroom.

Speaker 4 (01:26:49):
Hey, I like going in there. Sometimes I'm like, oh,
I don't know when I'm working.

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
On sitting there, like imagine this if a CEO who
doesn't all of a sudden it's like we gotta f
and do this, and you're like, oh, this is serious today, yes,
like way more than ever before.

Speaker 4 (01:27:03):
Well, if you're saying it like that, if you were
to say that, I'd be like, okay, he means business.
But if you're like going off and angry, then that
would be weird.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
Because it's same same because the culture has been said
of what you don't do. So when the culture is
shifted to where it never is, something is really off.
Either the person or the situation, and it's got to
be fixed right. And the person could be the person
saying it, or the person receiving it, or the situation
of everyone involved. Anyway, it makes me want to curse,
just to start cursing, to piss everybody off. I only
do it for me. I don't do it for anybody else.

(01:27:29):
I don't do it to be like, oh, he doesn't curse.
I do it because I'm like, I don't want to
slip up in a situation. Or when I was writing
a lot of jokes, be able to use that as
a crutch for humor. That's where a lot of it
came from, because man, you could be so funny with
the effort. It's it's the funniest word. Yeah, And I

(01:27:51):
was like, I don't want to do that. It's also
very therapeutic, and I wanted to work completely clean, so
I could. I could do private because they pay a
ton of money when a company brings you out to
tell jokes to a thousand workers at X company. So
that's what it is. So f off everybody.

Speaker 9 (01:28:13):
What's funny is like my wife and I don't curse
obviously around our kids. But the second we're alone, we're
sailors all of a sudden, it's so weird.

Speaker 2 (01:28:21):
Yeah, Lunchbox walks a very fine line though, of doing
it close to the door, and at times you can
almost hear it in here. And that's why we don't.
We don't. Nobody's allowed to curse in this room at all.

Speaker 5 (01:28:30):
Yeah, it's a no no in this room.

Speaker 4 (01:28:31):
I know that we're not even close on air, just.

Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
In case the implications of it being on the air.
So there's no cursing here. But that's also not a
moral thing. That's a we don't want to go to
to SCC jail.

Speaker 4 (01:28:43):
Yeah, but lunchwgs, do you cuss on your kids?

Speaker 5 (01:28:46):
I'm not on purpose? Well no, but your kid, my kid,
you know he knows how to use.

Speaker 1 (01:28:51):
Some of them.

Speaker 2 (01:28:51):
Okay, imagine you're saying they slip out.

Speaker 6 (01:28:54):
Yea, that happens like you drop somethe on your foot.

Speaker 5 (01:28:56):
It's hard to say, Oh, oh, I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:29:00):
I don't really let it slip out, mrmay Kit. I mean,
I guess I have accidentally, But the other day I
used one intentionally because I needed to You needed to
know I meant business and I was dead serious about
what I was saying, and I added it in and
I even said, yeah, you heard me say that, because
it needs you to know how serious I am.

Speaker 2 (01:29:21):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it would be like if I
came in and we're like, what the you guys be like, Oh,
like something real.

Speaker 4 (01:29:26):
Bad to happen, and yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29:29):
Okay, soire's what we're gonna do. Because this we just
like half an hour, We're gonna have to break for
a few minutes, so we're gonna go off the stream.
We're gonna this is the end of the podcast though,
but if you guys are watching YouTube or whatever, we're
gonna be back in a few minutes and we'll do
the beginning of the show. But uh, everybody got on
all those things. Oh yeah okay, And by the way,

(01:29:49):
become a partner and hope why the f not? Uh,
that would be awesome if you would not. Seriously, We've
we spent the whole show today doing the radiothon for
Saint Jude, and we feel like we owe it to
you guys that also come to us for content to
do a separate side show, which is what we're doing here.
So if you guys can become a partner and hope
if you don't listen to the show that's live in

(01:30:09):
the morning, please do text the word Bobby to seven
eight five eight three three. That would be awesome. Seven
eight five eight three three. You get the Pimpa Joy
sweatshirt you it's nineteen bucks a month. You help kids,
And the whole thing with helping kids is that it
helps our families. Nobody pays a bill at Saint Jude.
A parent, you don't. They're no bills because the partners
in hope. And there are times I understand people like, well,

(01:30:31):
I want to don it to my local hospital, and
that's great, love it, do it, But Saint Jude's not
local to us. But the reason that we are so
involved in Saint Jude is because it's local to everybody
in the way. They take kids from every single city
in the whole country, and all you need is to
have a cancer that they research, diagnose, try to heal.
Heal is not the word what I'm looking.

Speaker 4 (01:30:51):
For, like heal, okay, fair enoughs and treat.

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
Treat good, thank you from it and they go immediately
and all the bills are paid for. So it's Is
it in your town probably not? Does it help your
town absolutely? Yes, and all the research that they do
because a lot of hospitals they do research so they
can have and almost own that, so people have to
go to the hospital. Saint Jude doesn't do that. That

(01:31:15):
research goes out to every hospital. That's why we are
involved with Saint Jude. So, but sometimes you don't have
the ability to do it. Trust me, been there. It's
nineteen bucks a month. Also, sometimes you're just like, I
want to do this because it's important to me, and
that's great too. So we're just saying, if you want
to be a partner and hope that would be awesome,

(01:31:36):
nineteen bucks a month, text that Bobby to seven eight
five eight three three and you'll get a link when
you text that. I should say that you'll get a
link back from Saint Jude because it won't like take
out of your phone bill and you get a link
from Saint Jude and then you fill it out and
it takes nineteen bucks a month after that, Okay, thank you.
We're ending the podcast now.

Speaker 3 (01:31:53):
This is it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
Hope you enjoyed the first half, which we haven't done yet,
but if you're listening to the podcast, you already heard it,
all right. Bye,
