Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point one The Eagle.
If you've been listening, you know we have a whole
iHeart Think a Teacher thing that's going on because look, man,
all these budgets have been slashed and a lot of
these teachers don't have enough to even make their room
what they needed to be to teach the best way possible.
So we're trying to hook up teachers as part of
iHeartRadio's Thinking Teacher powered by donors Choose. You can go
(00:22):
to iHeartRadio dot com Forward slash teacher and nominate your
favorite teacher. Hopefully she wins a five thousand dollars stipend
there so that she can deck out her room to
teach the kids the best way. And the teacher that
we're focusing on today Amber Holmes Turner High School there
in Dallas. She's been nominated, so she's in the running.
(00:42):
Go nominate the teacher that you love today again, go
to iHeartRadio dot com Forward slash Teachers. We have a
news quickie about the most frequent and least frequent stolen
cars here in America.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
You're going to want to hear this, but right now
it's time for this.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
That's up.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
For Christine's coopy jar.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Christine jo.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Christine.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Okay, I'm gonna start with some kind of scary news.
It's not really bad news, but scary news before I
get to the really really good news. Okay, I think
I'm the only one that watches any type of car
racing here, right, that's accurate. Okay, Well, I do love
watching Formula One. They are on summer break right now.
But something they do, and this is most most racers,
most car racers, at the end of the race, if
(01:47):
they win, even if they get pole position, like up
two or three, they get out of their car and
they'll get on top of the car and they'll pump
their fists real hard. And every single time I think, man,
how are they not sliding off their car because they
are wearing like special you know, racing boots and stuff
that probably aren't gripping the roof of a car. Very well, well,
it actually happened. It actually happened yesterday. This sweet driver,
(02:11):
his name is Connor Zilich. He's only nineteen years old.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
This this was in NASCAR, and apparently he's like an
up and coming star because this is his sixth win
of the season so far.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Got it nineteen at.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Nineteen Yeah, huge, Well, he won the race over the weekend.
He gets out of the side of a car. You know,
it's a NASCAR car, so the door doesn't open, so
he's getting out of the window and he's trying to
climb to the top. And they always have like this
this crap that they have to carry with them as well,
like their water cup whatever, So he's grabbing that and
(02:44):
then you'll see that his foot kind of gets caught
in the window. He slips and he falls right on
his head and his shoulder right on the ground. And
again it's a really scary video, and he kind of
goes unconscious for a minute. They get a stretcher. Very scary.
But I will say this, the good news is that
he is totally fine.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
He did tweet out not too long after that. He said, Hey,
thank you everyone for reaching out. I'm out of the
hospital getting better already, he said. CT scans for his
head are clear. I just have a broken collarbone, so
that's it.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
But man, I saw that and I thought he broke
his neck. I thought I was watching somebody snap their neck.
I thought he was going to be paralyzed. You know,
they pour milk all over themselves for some races, right,
is that just one race?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I believe the five hundred. And I've never quite understood why.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
So why a lot of times there's standing slippery car
and shoes and there's like champagne or some liquid around too, right.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Absolutely, So I did look up because I was like,
you know what, I've never actually seen this happen before. Yes,
I think it all the time. And I looked up, Hey,
how many falling off their car? And this is what
AI said. Okay, yep, while there's no specific, compiled list
relatively common occurrence, and then it brings up this Connor
Zillich thing that just happened. And again he's but apparently
(04:01):
it happens more often than where where. But again, I've
been watching F one for three four years now, I've
never seen it happen. But those those F one cars
are built differently too, so I have no idea how
they're just ready to stand on that and not fall whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
But it's hard to tell someone, hey, you can't celebrate
a certain way. I mean, they do it in the
NFL with penalties and stuff, But after a race, thing's
over like, how are you gonna.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Get these guys to stop doing it the way they
do it? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
God, that's crazy. Yeah, I'm glad he's okay. Though I thought,
you know, I was witnessing a guy die.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah. No, he's totally good, but very very scary. And uh,
I'm glad he's okay. So now onto the good news, guys,
really really really good news. I'm so excited. So you
guys know, I went through Orchard. I put my condo
on the market to sell. This was back in I believe,
March March April, and so I worked with Sweet Bailey
(04:53):
over at Orchard. He gave me a heads up right
off the bat. He was great throughout this entire thing,
by the way, but he was like, look, condo, don't sell.
It takes him a few months, so just to heads
up on that it's not gonna be a quick sell.
And as we progressed through this, he kept checking in.
He's like, you're having some showings. We might need to
lower the price a little bit. Not a great market
to sell right now. No one wants to buy anything
(05:14):
big anyway. So really, just this past week, Mike and
I sat down, I'm like, man, maybe I should just
look into renting it out. I don't have the time
to deal with renting it out and going through all that,
but maybe that's something we should look into.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I believe this was Friday night. Friday night, eight o'clock,
Bailey goes. He sends me a text, Christina, great news,
we have an offered place.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
And of course it was a little lower than what
I was asking for. But he was like, we should
counter with this, blah blah blah. Let me know what
you think. And again he is so awesome. He sent
me an email with all the details out. It's like,
why we should go with this lower offer, all this
stuff counter offered. Saturday, I wake up, they accepted the
counter office and I'm now in contract to finally sell
(05:59):
my condo.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That is awesome.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, and so now Mike and I are officially a
deep couple.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh my god, I don't know. I don't know what
that means. What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Double income?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
No kids? That's a dream. That is a dream today.
Can I ask a question?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah? Shoot?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Last I talked to Mike, he wasn't gainfully employed.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Well, he is employed. So I'm just going to say
that he is getting some income, okay, y, which as
we'd like. And this that's another great I'm so happy
this soul because now I can help him out if
I need to, and he doesn't have to stress out
because he was and uh anyway, so I'm just really
happy for what a.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Weekend for that fantastic congratulations, thank you, and uh, thank
you for using orchard.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
