hard to find insurance on actual realPablo Picaso paintings, and I kind of
wanted a green one, so Ijust painted it myself. Well, they

(04:36):
must look pretty good for them tobe, you know, passed off as
Piicasso for three years. That iscrazy. And just because she wanted a
green one, she was like,I just you know what, I'll just
do it myself. Eventually they foundout three years after the fact, because
Pablo Picasso's estate had some questions aboutthe paintings. They were like, wait

(05:00):
a minute, wait, hold up, what is this hand paintings? Okay,

Live on eighties plus at one ohthree point seven, It's time for the
great debate. Should you reward goodbehavior? People always say, don't reward

(05:51):
bad behavior? But should you rewardgood behavior? That is the question this
morning, every Monday, Wednesday andFriday. We always talk about something and
love it when you call in withsomething in your life that you want a
debate. So THEO what's up?Well, we were on vacation and lo
and behold, I ended up losingmy wallet and I had right at one

(06:14):
thousand dollars in cash in my wallet. Dang, why are you carrying that
much cash? I guess I onvacation. Go ahead. Someone actually found
it and then brought it back tothe front desk. They contacted me and
I got it back, but Idid not give them any cash out of
the wallet. My wife said thatI should have, and now she thinks
I'm a jerk. So I don'tknow. Am I a jerk or not

(06:34):
a thousand dollars? I hate tocall you a jerk, but I mean,
come on, bruh, you couldhave at least gave them a twenty.
Why didn't you give them anything?I don't know. I just didn't
feel the need to. I mean, if they return it out of the
goodness of their heart, why doI have to pay that? Okay?
So well, definitely put it outthere for you. I don't know.

(06:57):
I think your why your wife mightbe onto something, but you know we'll
throw it out there. So doyou think long story short, if someone
does something nice for you, youowe them something in return. Case in
point, THEO lost is wallet onvacation, had a lot of cash in
it. Someone returned it, hedidn't give them anything. What do you

(07:19):
think that is the question for thismorning's Great Debate one eight sixty six,
nine hundred and one three seven,or tap the red microphone on our iHeartRadio
app if you want to jump inand join Christy. I'm signing with THEO.
I think you don't have to giveanybody a reward, money, anything.

(07:43):
I think a thank you for returningmy wallet is more than enough my
opinion. Why are you looking atme like, because that is so janky.
If someone gives you one thousand dollarsback that you lost and you don't
even want to break them off withlike five or ten, a cup of
coffee, a drink, I thinkthat's that's kind of selfish. I think
just saying thank you is more thanenough and that's it. Like the person

(08:05):
doesn't need a reward. Oh,let me find one thousand dollars. You
don't give me anything. I'm gonnabe like, I hope they lose it
again. No, I'm just ninehundred what three seven? What do you
think? So? What does somethingnice for you? Is it right to
do the nice thing back? Ordo you want to be a hater like,

(08:26):
oh god, THEO and produce agreen over here. I'm just kidding
them. I'm talking about you.Let me know for the Great Debate hear
from you next on eighties plus Backto the Great Debate eighties plus aid one
oh three point seven? Do goodSamaritans deserve a reward? THEO called and

(08:50):
said he lost a wallet with athousand bucks on vacation and someone returned it,
but he didn't give them a tipor a reward, and his wife
said that was the wrong thing todo. What do you think that this
morning's Great Debate? Good morning,Tony. Honestly, you know, I
think what he did was correct becauseyou know, I toad have brought in

(09:11):
Japan for about three years, uhhuh. And in that society, if
you find a wallet, you justreturn it. You don't expect anything.
It's just the right thing to do. You know, there should be no
expectations. If you do something nice, you're not doing it for a reward.
You're just doing it because it's theninth thing. It's a horble thing
to do, all right, Tony? I will note your vote. Appreciate
you joining in the Marigato by Takecare Tony. Good morning, Francisco.

(09:39):
Where do you stand on the GreatDebate? THEO had one thousand dollars return
to him on vacation. Didn't givethe good Samaritan anything. Do good deeds
deserve reward? I believe that,you know, giving a reward is always
kind just because you just never know, you know, it could have been
somebody else, and you know thatperson could have took it one thousand dollars,
you know, So it's kind oflike one of those things where you

(10:00):
know you shall receive what you give. You know, thank you, That's
what I'm saying. It's one thingif someone you drop a ten and you
know, you were like, hey, you dropped your money. They don't
owe you two or one, Butlike a thousand dollars and you're on vacation
and someone had the like kindness toreturn it, that's a lot of money.
Come on, ye thanks for jumpingin and joining the fun. Francisco,

(10:22):
I'll note your vote. Thank you. Do acts of kindness like turning
in a cell phone or returning awallet with a thousand dollars in cash,
deserve some sort of reward. Thatis the question for this morning's great debate,

(10:43):
Brett, what do you think forbeing a good person? You know,
give him a tip for sure?I mean, and in Theo's case,
you got your wallet back with onethousand dollars. Come on, yeah,
absolutely, I mean even if it'stwenty bucks or something, especially one
thousand dollars. You know, hedidn't have to do any of that.
All right, take care, Brent, Thank you so much for weighing in.

(11:28):

lost his wallet with a thousand bucksin it. Someone actually was kind
enough to return it. And hiswife said, you're a jerk. You
didn't give them anything, nothing,not a not a not a cup of
coffee, not a dollar bill.He said, Am I wrong? What
do you think? Clearly, James, you feel like you don't necessarily deserve

(11:52):
something. What happened to you?I was in a restaurant. He today
is GOI collapse kind of rating eachother, you know, they kind of
I'm panicked, and I went overto say, ladies, canna help you
out, and minister your Karen waitedfor the param Mexicans I'm called paramedics got
them there and and the girls,you know, they're like, hey,
man, here's there's somebody. Let'sstay for your launch. I say no,
no, no, please, andthey literally slapped the money on the
table, took off run out ofthe restaurant. And I was like,

(12:13):
man, I don't do that formoney, though, you know what I
mean, I'd have done it justbecause I care about people. And it
just didn't sit right with me,because I don't feel like I should rewarded
for someth much if you doing anyhowas a human being. And so I
just gave the two ages to herattempting to help me, and I gave
them EA to twenty dollars tip.I passed it on to them. That
is super good looking out. Everybodywon in that situation. The human kindness

(12:35):
was passed along. And that's allI'm saying. And thank goodness you were
there when she collapsed. You areso awesome, James. Thank you for
the call. Love. Listen toyou guys in the morning. Man,
keep it rolling. Oh well,we appreciate you listening. Good morning,
Dana. Where do you stand onthe great debate? Should good Samaritans be
rewarded? No? I don't needa reward to do the right thing.
Oh you said that like you meantit. I have strong convictions and I

(12:58):
know they're doing the right thing.Are just going to create more and more
karma for me. When I punchedthat ticket off the planet securing your VIP
spot in the sky, I heardthat, thanks for jumping in data.
Have a great day. You're thesame, ma'am. Got a couple talkbags
from our iHeart radio app. No, I know I really would chest too.
I agree with the wife. There'sno way someone brings you one thousand

(13:22):
dollars back that you would never havehad again and you don't give them some
of their not even just from anexpectancy point of view, just a common
courtesy and gratitude if someone did thatfor you, common courtesy. Okay,
that's what it comes down to,common courtesy, common curtasy. Okay,
you gotta say it like that.Okay. I got another talkback here for

(13:43):
this morning's great debate. The goodSamaritans deserve rewards, Hi, Christy and
producer Karina. This Istrotie calling fromKentucky. Hey, I kind of lost
his wallet and had one thousand dollarsin it returning it should not have had
any expectation of a reward. Imean, think about it. If every

(14:05):
time you lose something, whether itbe a wallet, a pet, a
child, whatever, are you honestlygoing to say that you think you deserve
a reward for doing the right thing. I don't think so. But ladies,
have a great day. Bye,Thank you, Jody. I want
something. I'm just saying for acouple more talk PAGs here. You can

(14:26):
always jump in join the fun bytapping the red microphone if you happen to
be listening on our free iHeartRadio app. HI. This is Fernando and no
sensor. Just remember one thing,you reap what you saw. If you're
kind to somebody, that kindness goesback to you. So offer to buy
him Baptist lunch or dinner. That'sall you have to do. Have a
good day, something simple. Youknow, it's just the right thing to

(14:48):
do. When I was at theJanet Jackson concert a couple of weeks ago
at the Chase Center, I founda phone and you know, the person
called me on FaceTime. I pickedit up. I'm like, hey,
I'm right here by this bar.I'll wait for you. And when they
came, he brought me a drink. Well that's nice. Yeah, And
if he didn't, I would havebeen like, man, just gave me
your phone back. You couldn't evenbuy me a drink, you know what

(15:09):
I mean? Yeah, not becauseI expect that I always do the right
thing, because it's the right thingto do, right, But Jase con
Er drinks are expensive, so I'mnot turning that down either. Well,
Christy, the majority of people say, yes, you should give a reward
for kindness. If you do somethingnice like return a wallet or return something
that you should give some sort ofreward. And it doesn't have to be

(15:31):
crazy. He didn't. Maybe thethousand dollars was all the money he had,
Okay, the oh, we're justgonna assume that was all your money
for vacation and you couldn't spare adollar or five. You could at least
pay it forward. Bill said,you know, people always help him on
the side of the road, andhe always, always, always helps a
stranded motorist. Now because people alwayshelp him so it could just be like,

(15:56):
you know, James paying the humankindness forward. Okay, that's all
we ask. I like it,thank you, we like it. All
right, guys, this goes along way. Indeed, all right,
Frankie wants us to relax. You'relistening to Morning Drive with Christie Live on demand.
