before happened, Jason. We're a the football team has taken
on a baseball team in the World Series, right, you
know it's twenty twenty five, you know, equal opportunity for
everyone in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
That's what it is. That's exactly that's what it is,
exactly right.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Actually, shockingly, it turns out that the Toronto Blue Jays
are going to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yeah,
it's in fact, not the Miami Dolphins, which is set
for the Dolphins. No, it was just set and it's
a similar place. I don't know if you've been in Toronto,
and it's hard to confuse the two, like when you're
in Toronto and Miami, like sometimes like which.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
One in Miamia? Yeah, I can see that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The World Series between the Blue Jays and the Dodgers
begins on Friday night, and that Game seven took place
last night. A guy was arrested in the Atlanta airport
after he threatened to shoot it up. Now, this is
Kiki's second home, as you know, when she goes to Atlanta,
she doesn't actually stay in a hotel. She just goes
to Atlanta and then sleeps in the airport until her
Spirit flight arrives, which could be on time, it could
(01:56):
also be the next day exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
And this is the type of people that I ran
in to in that airport.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
So what right?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Everyone at the time when you actually did do this,
because you did do this early on in the show,
like you went and then you said forget about it,
like I'll just go back to the airport and sleep
in a chair for eight hours instead of getting a
hotel room.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yes, I was going for the iHeart Like Podcast festival
with Charlemagne, and I said, okay, I'll get a little
flight there. I don't really need to stay the entire weekend.
I'm gonna go to the from the airport to the
festival and then from the festival back to the airport.
But my flight was a red eye the next day,
so I said I'll just stay in the airport. And
that was a bit a big mistake, big, big, big mistake.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I mean, if you've got six hours, you got to
get a hotel room, like six hours hotel room. I
know they're expensive, but like you if you know, now,
it's one thing if you go to the airport and
they cancel your flight and then you know you're sitting
there like what am I going to do? I don't
know or you know, I'm not sure when the next
flight is or if it's delayed. That's one thing. If
you wind up having to sleep on the floor because
of unanticipated delays. But when you just know that you're
(03:00):
gonna you know, it's eleven o'clock and now you fly
to eight in the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Like, no, you don't just go to the airport.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
No wildest thing I've ever done, and I do not
recommend at all. And they had those like crazy people,
they had those.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Pod things like you could I don't know, I don't
know if that would work for you, but they got
those things you can like. I don't know about Atlanta,
but some of these airports how you can like rent
a little a little pod for a while.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I'm scared about that.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I don't know what's happening in the pods pod.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Or how often are we cleaning the pods? Well, I
don't think it's an orgy pod. I mean I think
that's it. I think it's a different kind of pod
in atlanted and I think they clean them. But I
think they have little spaces that you can rent for
this exact thing. I mean, Camlin, haven't you got like
a full haven't you had like a wax and everything
at the airport before I didn't go.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
That far, but yeah, you and I were flying together
and I had some time to kill.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I got a foot massage last.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Time I was there, That's what it was.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
No, I didn't get a wax there. But I don't
know if I'm above it.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You know, it's you're just waiting at the airport with
nothing to do but drink.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Right exactly, So you're at the airport and you're like, man,
I forgot to get a wax, and who knows this
trip to Carbondale might be lit. You just never know, like,
I better go, And then you go and you ask
them and they can do it, and then they give
you a manicure and a pedicure.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
And a wax.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
You gotta stay ready, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
You gotta stay ready at the Atlanta airport. But this dude,
a forty nine year old man named Billy. He was
arrested at the Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia
after his family alerted police that he was live streaming
threats to shoot up the airport. Police then found an
ar fifteen rifle and twenty seven rounds of ammunition in
his vehicle parked outside of the terminal. He also had
(04:40):
a felony arrest record and was not legally allowed to
possess the firearm. It's very scary. The only political story
that you'll hear, at least today, TMZ. And that's the
source I go to for all my news, all my
breaking news. Some people might trust other sources, not me, TMZ.
They're reporting that President Trump is considering commuting hip hop
mogul Sean Didty Combs his roughly fifty month prison sentenced
(05:04):
as early as this week, but the White House has
denied that report. Did He was convicted in July of
twenty twenty five on two counts of transportation for the
purposes of prostitution under the Man Act, and in October
was sentenced to four years and two months in prison
plus a five hundred thousand dollars five excuse me. A
Colorado corner's office has canceled its planned family friendly Halloween
(05:25):
party after public outreache. So the actual corner's office, where
you would go if you die or a crime is
committed against you when you die. The actual corner's office
was trying to have a family friendly Halloween party and
people are upset about it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It just so happens.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
This is the same building where twenty four decomposing bodies
were recently found hidden behind a door.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
They forgot about him.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The event, meant to be a safe and sweet community celebration,
was called off after residence said that it was deeply
inappropriate giving a grizzly discovery. The body's dating back to
fifteen years, like they've been there for fifteen years they
forgot about them. Were found in the former mortuary run
by the ex corner, who resigned in September following the scandal.
Newly appointed corner and it got named Greg. Greg had
(06:12):
hoped that the event would help rebuild trust with locals,
but after backlast the office release a statement saying that
it's become clear that the event was not well received
by some members of the community and decided to cancel.
Would you attend a family friendly sweet Halloween party at
the corner?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Oh no, No, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I know you guys believe in in like spirits and
ghosts and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I don't not.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I just I think for me, it's I don't believe
that they're necessarily like floating around messing with us. Maybe
some are, but I guess by and large, you know,
if I die in and I'm giving the opportunity to
go to heaven or wherever you go, and I'm you know,
you can do all the things that you're supposed to
be able to do, Like I really don't have time
(06:59):
to like move your water glass in the middle of
the night. Like I'm busy, you know, I'm I'm, I'm,
I'm booked and blessed. You know, I got I got
excess to see. I gotta go see my mana. I
gotta go, you know, get with all the people I
never got with, and and you know, I got to
hang out with my dogs and my cats that passed away.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
But I'm too busy with all the people I haven't
got with, right and.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
No, but that's what that's what I'm doing. It's I
think that's what happens in heaven. It's a total free
for all. That's what I think happens. And all the
people that you love to who passed away, they're all
there waiting for you. And then here, you know, here
people talking about all the Congress hotel. They're floating around
and moving my my bathrobe. I don't have time for
all that.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Yeah, hopefully you don't have the kind of death that
people had there. It's it's very different the people, the
spirits that are hanging around places, they didn't die peacefully.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
But I would like to believe that that no matter
how you how you died, that if you lived a
good life, that you get to go and then and
do all the things I just talked about, and that
you're not inclined to hang around the Congress hotel or
wherever in whoever, whatever haunted place you can think of
where you live and mess with people Like I guess
I don't know that about that, But like, do you
(08:06):
believe that the people that were at the corner are
still hanging around the corner just floating around looking to
mess with the kids and come trick or treating at
the corner's office?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
You guys, would they forgot me in a wall, I
would be so pissed.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I would never leave that spot. Fifteen of us.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yeah, Like I'd.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Get up out of there. I'd be gone, you know,
Like I'm not hanging around, Like I'm free where you're going.
I'm in heaven, Like I'm not hanging out of the
place anymore.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I guess I believe whatever you need to that makes
you feel better, but it's.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Real, So I don't know that I believe that they
hang around there. But at the same time, I will
admit like I don't. I wouldn't buy a house where
someone died. I'm not going to go hang out of
the corner's office for a sweet Halloween party. Like, I
don't have any interest in being where dead bodies were.
I mean, I don't like going to hospitals because unfortunately
I know people die there, Like I don't know. It's
not because I think the floating around. It's just like, ooh,
(09:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I don't like it.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
That feeling is a sense that you can't see. You
feel that feeling because there's bad energy in certain places.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Or because I convince myself that that it's weird. Okay, Yeah, well, Caitlyn,
you were allowed to believe what you wanted. I can
believe what I want. We can have two different beliefs.
I know. Well, you're like, oh my god, you idiot.
Oh God, that's him, do it for that's a fact. No,
you just called me an idiot. Okay, I don't appreciate
that because I don't think people are floating around because
(09:33):
I think they got better stuff to do.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
You clearly don't have a whole harem of psychics in
your phone.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Okay, well that's true, that is true. I only have
one or two maybe two. I think I have one
for pets and one for people. And finally, this is
a sweet story, but a stranger answered a Facebook post
and donated a kidney to a guy in Saint Louis
then he'd never met, giving him a second chance at life. See,
this is why I checked Facebook occasionally, because he gives it.
(09:57):
It's not all just people who you didn't realize that
they're terrible people when you look at what they're posting
on Facebook. That's what I thought. That's what Facebook has become.
It is like I'll go on there to see if
it's somebody's birthday or whatever. I don't know why, it's
part of my scroll, and I'll go on there and
I'll be like, oh, I didn't know that person felt
that way about that, Like what a shame. And I
don't know why that Facebook is the place to post
(10:17):
those sorts of things, but it is, it really is.
But the donor, named Joe, says his decision was driven
by faith. Second chance like Jesus gave me, he said.
The recipient is a guy named Tim, and he had
been publicly searching for a kidney donor. The guy responded
after seeing the plea. The two complete strangers now share
a deep connection, and the transplant offers one of them,
(10:40):
of course, hope for a healthier future. So good things
do happen on Facebook, guys, It's Back to the Future Day,
It's National Pharmacy Technician Day, and it's National Reptile Awareness Day.

one or two maybe two. I think I have one
for pets and one for people. And finally, this is
a sweet story, but a stranger answered a Facebook post
and donated a kidney to a guy in Saint Louis
then he'd never met, giving him a second chance at life. See,
this is why I checked Facebook occasionally, because he gives it.
(09:57):
It's not all just people who you didn't realize that
they're terrible people when you look at what they're posting
on Facebook. That's what I thought. That's what Facebook has become.
It is like I'll go on there to see if
it's somebody's birthday or whatever. I don't know why, it's
part of my scroll, and I'll go on there and
I'll be like, oh, I didn't know that person felt
that way about that, Like what a shame. And I
don't know why that Facebook is the place to post
(10:17):
those sorts of things, but it is, it really is.
But the donor, named Joe, says his decision was driven
by faith. Second chance like Jesus gave me, he said.
The recipient is a guy named Tim, and he had
been publicly searching for a kidney donor. The guy responded
after seeing the plea. The two complete strangers now share
a deep connection, and the transplant offers one of them,
(10:40):
of course, hope for a healthier future. So good things
do happen on Facebook, guys, It's Back to the Future Day,
It's National Pharmacy Technician Day, and it's National Reptile Awareness Day.
