So David to Cook. He's a farmer from Minnesota, and
(00:22):
I guess took a little vacation to a Crater of
Diamonds State Park, which is in Arkansas. He did this
late last month. While David's there, he just kind of
cruising along. He looked down. He saw something that looked
like a candy wrapper. He bent down, he picked it up.
Guess what he had? What a three point eight carrot diamond?
(00:42):
Oh my god, which I mean kind of makes sense.
He is at the Crater of Diamond State Park in
Arkansas that he found it. But one report said it
could be worth nearly twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh my gosh, why aren't we going to that park
and picking up diamonds?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Because we would never be that lucky.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
He just thought he was doing a nice thing, picking
up some trash, and it was a freaking diamonds.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Three point eight. Now, it doesn't appear to be that
great a quality of a diamond at night for like
nineteen thousand dollars for three point eight carrots. That's not
you know what I mean. Yeah, it's not that great.
But hey, it's better than a.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Kick in the butt, right right, I mean, it's just
finding twenty thousand dollars on the ground is basically what
he did exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah. I wonder if they allow uh well, I wonder
if I was just gonna say, I wonder if they
allow metal detectors into the crater of diamonds. I don't
think you find diamonds with the metal.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I don't think it would matter.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, I don't think it would matter either. Can I
tell you real quick? So I guess is kind of funny. Actually,
I ordered a air tag keychain, right okay, and put
an air tag in it so I don't lose my keys.
And I just ordered it a couple of days ago.
It's going to be here today. And yesterday when I
(01:59):
was on my walk, guess what, I lost your keys? Yeah,
I dropped them on the trail somewhere. I lost found them,
I did. I found them almost immediately I just started
walking and found I just followed my steps. But how
weird is it that I literally am waiting for an
air tag and an air tag keychain and I lose
(02:21):
my keys?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Just my luck, right right.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Thank goodness, I found them because I was walking around.
I was looking for him, and I'm not gonna lie.
To send a quick prayer to Saint Anthony, and two
seconds later, there they were.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Saint Anthony is the patron saying of finding things. Yes,
of things that you've lost, Did you do that?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Did you? They just fell out of your pocket?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, I just fell out of my pocket. I don't know.
I had a bunch of other stuff in my hand
as I started going yeah, and I was kind of
getting organized and yeah, and they just fell out of
my pocket. So, in fact, it's kind of funny. I
was goofing over. What I was doing was goofing around
with a GoPro video camera and I had the camera
and I had the microphone. I'm just trying to get
it all organized and stuff. And then I went back
(03:04):
and watched the video and I heard the exact moment
that the piece fell out of my pocket.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Do you remember last time when you and I walked
that you lost one of the microphones when you were
using your drone. You got a bunch of stuff in
your clearly need like a bag or something. Fanny packs
need something. Because you're a dropper. Pockets can't be trusted.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You're a dropper.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I do. I dropped things and I lose things all
the time. It's very frustrated.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Never do I find anything, like David de Cook, did
you just find what you dropped? It's never twenty thousand dollars,
never ever ever.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, well, good for you, mister Cook. She's trusted. My
name is Sandy. Stay with us. We've got more coming up.
Tresha's got the story we love. In just a moment,
you know, the conclave has started in Rome to select
the new pope, and the Vatican made an announcement that
one of Pope Francis's Pope Mobiles has been transformed into
(04:01):
a mobile health clinic for kids in Gaza. Yeah. Yeah,
they say it was one of his final wishes before
he passed away last month.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
You want to know what another one of his final
wishes was, and it happened. Everything every amount of money,
all the money he had in his personal account, he
gave it to a pasta making company right outside the
Vatican walls, that is for people who have been incarcerated
who are then coming out of prison and trying to
(04:30):
start their lives over again. And he used to visit
it all the time, and he gave all of his
money to them to help people who are trying to
rebuild their lives after being in prison.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Do you imagine fighting that out if you're the guy
that owns the pasta place, right, I've got to tell
you something, old France as he left you some cash, Yeah,
some money. Let's take the stories.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Studio, all right. I don't understand how you get to
do this and get in trouble.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Let's talk about David Lee Roth. Sandy Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
David Lee Roth, former Van Halen singer, made a triumphant
return to the stage this past Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
He played at the M three Festival.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
That before that he hadn't performed in five years in
front of an audience.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Apparently it went.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So well he decided to announce his summer twenty twenty
five tour.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Let's back up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
He did announce his retirement back in twenty twenty one,
but he said that that was This is now the
end of his first retirement, so now we're start in
his second career.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
But he's going on tour.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Starting July thirty first, with twelve dates, and he is
going to be playing classic van Halen songs with the
help of a new backup band.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Well, I mean he could do that.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Can you do that?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You can cover songs in concerts? Yeah, but even though he.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Was in van Halen, he can go out on his
own and play van Halen songs without the band.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, he's just like a cover band.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I know that feels weird.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
To send rules apply Diamond Dave seventy years old out
there on tour. I was never a David Lee Roth fan.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
People hated him or loved him.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I was on that. I won't say hate, but I
was on that, not a fan side of David Lee Roth.
And he's cheesy man, He's just he's a song and
dance guy.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, because I don't think any
of these are any of his own songs.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's literally just riding the coattails of the Van Halen songs.
But I mean, I guess he was the front man.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
He was the face of the band, so that that
evolution revolution of Van Halen before Sammy Hagar came along. Yeah,
and yeah, I mean he'll probably get some fans. Like
you said, he either loved him or didn't love him. Yeah,
I gotta be out there.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
He's got about twelve tour dights going for a couple
of months.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He's the kind of guy that I just you know,
if you've been around someone that just seems like they
could never turn it off, like they always have to
be funny. Yeah, always have to be Yes, that's what
David Lee Roth is to me when you see him
in interviews or just he just is that guy.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So I guess he has a craving for the attention.
He's going to get out and do it tour. He'll
sell some tickets, I guess so.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And the other Van Halen members they're like, Okay, I
guess he's doing that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Mark Anthony and the guys whatever, And Eddie's gone, Yeah.
So it would be cool if he got his son
to play with him Wolfgang, but he won't.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
He wouldn't do that. He would never do that.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
No him. I like that. That's good. All right, Well,
good luck to Diamond Dave. He's gonna be out there
that could be doing those scissor kick jumps anymore.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Splits or her keys or whatever. Cheerleader moves here, he's.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Got short hair. Now he's got that hair?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Now?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Does he all right to win? All right? The Huffington
posted a story about a parenting trend, and it's been
around for a while. This is nothing new, but I
think Tristia, you nailed it when you said it may
have taken a break, right, and now it's back. It's
like anything else, it's cyclical, it comes, it goes, and
(08:02):
for a long time the FAFO parenting method has been gone,
but now it's coming back.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
The FAFO stands for blank around and find out right
guaranteeing technique.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's kind of what I remember from my childhood.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I think anybody before this day and age, I feel
like that's pretty much how they were raised.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Right. So basically what it is is you just let
your kids skin their knees, right. You'll let them go
outside without a rain coat on.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, you let them experience the consequences of their own actions.
Like you can tell them I wouldn't do that if
I were you, But then they go ahead and choose
to do that, and then they have to suffer the consequence.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It's a perfect example.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's raining outside, I don't want to wear a rain cooder,
take an umbrel?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
All right?
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Fine, and then later on when they call you wet
and ask you to bring them an umbrella, you're like,
I'm sorry, no, right, you chose to do this.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Maybe next time you'll make the right choice.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
It doesn't go so far as to like let your
kid run out into a busy intersection. What happens, it
doesn't do bad.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Since it first works and outlets or anything.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Right, you're not doing that, but you're kind of letting
your kids. I think we've been okay at that, Trish.
I think sometimes I may have been a little sost
consistent on things.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I think, if anything, you were a little soft on
it with that. I got to a point in probably
middle school, with a can you bring me my book?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
I forgot it? Can you bring me this? I forgot it?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And I was all no, because you put your back
back together the night before, and you were the one.
If I said no, she would call you, and you go,
I'm gonna take it up to her. I forgot my
lunch and I'd be like, no, I reminded you, so
now you can buy your lunch.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
You go on, I'm gonna take her her lunch.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, because I don't want to eat that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
At school, the lunch.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Cheese and a hot dog bun.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I understand.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I'm just saying, if either one of us were soft
on this, I think it was probably you over me.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah. Well, she's my little girl.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
If it was a boy, I wouldn't be and she
probably then I would be the exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
But then she gets it, and then she always slips
in it. If I don't get that notebook, I'm going
to get a zero, I know.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
And I'm like, you've never been worried about getting a zero.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
On something before? I mean, yeah, it's it's a never
ending battle.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I don't know about our listeners, but in our kids' school,
it's really hard to get a zero because they give
you every opportunity in the world. Oh my god, get
it to get it right.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yes, I mean you have to really really refuse to
do the work to get a zero in school these days.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Basically have to sit in the classroom and tell the
teacher to f off.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah, basically. Yeah, but I will tell you this to
stick this in because I have a lot of friends
who are teachers. This is not necessarily We were talking
about this a couple of weeks ago, how you can
have something assigned at the beginning of the six weeks
grading period and it's due in week one, but really
the kids know they don't have to turn it in
(10:56):
until the last day of week six. And I have
a friend who's a teacher and she's like, just so
you know, the teachers hate that too. It's more of
a every child learns at their own pace, and as
long as they learn it, that's what the goal.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Is, which I get to I get it too.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
The goal is to learn it.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And Right incredibly frustrating for teachers at times. Yeah, but
also though we were talking about him like that is
not preparing them though for the for college in the
real world with deadline that has actual hard deadlines.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I can't go into your boss and when the projects
to go, oh yeah I need another day or yeah yeah,
so I'll get to you get you that in six weeks.
