Speaker 1 (00:04):
I'm just not good for this technology over here. I
paid for this website, this service, and I set it
up so that if you follow me on Instagram, I
immediately send you a DM and say thanks for following me.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
That's nice. It didn't work.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Because I tried to follow myself from my fake account
and my real account didn't thank me.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh how rude.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
I know, I know, stupid account, stupid Instagram. Anyway, what's
come up? What are three things we need to know?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Cow?

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Let's just take a moment of silence right now for
the penny thank you? The penalty is officially dead. The
US Mint stamped the last one ever yesterday, ending the
two hundred and thirty two years of production. I guess
every penny actually cost four cents to make now, so
they say ending the production on this will actually save
taxpayers fifty six million dollars annually. In the meantime, the

(00:59):
government is a actually reopened after the forty three days
shut down, restoring federal paychecks and services while leaving major
funding disputes unresolved. But at least we're in motion once again.
The Mega Million's jackpot is climbing towards one billion dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Just astounding to think about.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
You know, it's an estimated nine hundred and sixty five
million dollars for tomorrow's a drawing. The cash value of
that prize four hundred and forty five million dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
So go ahead, go ahead, get mad, Get mad.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Because a new study actually suggests getting angry can boost
your creativity. So in this study, angry people performed slightly
better on creative tasks than calm people. The effect was
strongest for less kind or sneaky ideas. All helpful and
constructive creativities out just a small boost. But if you

(01:50):
are trying to plan revenge, get angry it will help
your creativity.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I feel like I can totally see that because I
feel like anger is like rooted in a little bit
of passion. So passionate about something, then the wheels are
definitely going to be turning.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
That right there, exactly.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
And that's three things you need to know.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
So a couple of weeks ago, I think I told
you guys about my sister was at our Mexican family
reunion and she noticed that her diamond had fallen out
of her ring. Yeah, and then a cousin of mine
said it would look like something shiny was in the
sink and she went sure enough, it was right there
by the drain. She was very fortunate enough to find it.

(02:27):
And then Peyton, do we haven't talked about it, but
that happened to you yesterday?

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Yeah, I was so annoyed, Like we were just off
the air and I'm looking at my ring and I'm like,
if any of you guys see a little diamond hanging around.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I just got back like a week ago.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yes, the ring that was gone for seven weeks because
I needed to get it resized. I now have to
give back to get a diamond thing.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
So when did you find the diamond or no? So
will they just put it back in or do you
have to buy a new diamond?

Speaker 5 (02:56):
I'm not I think that there's like a sense it
is so nude. I think there's a warranty on it.
I'll just be able to take it back in and
like there's not going to be any issues. But the
problem that I am running into is we still haven't
taken our engagement pictures because I hadn't gotten my ring
back and I need to get saved the dates out
and so now I'm like, if I give them my ring,
I have to be able to. I'm just so busy
these next couple of weeks. I just don't know what

(03:17):
I'm gonna squeeze in these pictures. I don't want to
give them my ring, and it takes seven weeks again,
and then now it's too late to give save the dates.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, let me tell you this. So my sister's in town.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
She's in town for a family fest, and I said,
bring the ring as soon as I told us storing there,
I got a DM from a guy, Derek Molina, and
he works at a place called Christopher Fine Jewelers. Okay,
and Derek said, tell your sister to bring it in,
and she did yesterday and he's having it ready for today.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
Oh swee was quick.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what little place you
go to where it takes seven, eight weeks to get
stuff done.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
They get a mind for the blood diamond. First of all,
you know you're showing us all the ring yesterday, and
I know that there's probably are there close up engagement
pictures with the ring where you were. Yeah, you can
definitely see that there's there's a little hole in the corner.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Although you know what I was thinking, because we're talking
about this yesterday.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Just photoshop the diamond in.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
I did think about it.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Don't let that hold.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
You back from your entire shoot, because honestly, it's not
the main diamonds. It is noticeable when you look up close,
but I totally feel like that's very photoshoppable.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Katie said the same exact thing. He was like, I
don't know why you're stressing because you can't really tell.
And I was like, but I can tell.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
That, right, but in the pictures, don't add the diamond back.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
You're totally right, John Jay, I'm a jeweler and chandler.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Please let me know if you need assistance in fixing
that princess cut ring of your sisters. I run a
store called Christopher Fine.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Diamonds Christopher Fine Fine.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Diamonds, and I met you and Blake many times at
events while working for my father.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Afraid of Molina of Molina find you. Oh yeah, so
that's very coot.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Derek, Yeah, So Derek's his name, Derek Molina, the one
they called Derek. Yeah, really really nice guy. My sister
went and met with them, and he's a really nice guy.
By the way, today, I think Payton said it earlier
this morning. His world kindness day. Yeah. So in the
other words, you don't love up day and there's here
are ways that you are encouraged to do random acts
of kindness today. Compliment the next three people you talk

(05:17):
to think that, yeah, yeah, Write a heartfelt note to
your kid's teacher. Say good morning to that random person
next to you on the elevator, which is why I
take the stairs.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Pick up a litter.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
If you see Halloween candy rappers blowing past you, grab it,
Say something positive on social media, leave a generous tip,
or text or call a random friend just to tell
them how awesome they are. That's good, by the way.
Speaking of the elevator, I take the stairs every day.
Right the last two days, I've been coming in later,
and I've never seen anyone in the stairwell never the

(05:50):
last two. Not today, but yesterday before I came in
a little bit later than I normally do, and I'm
we're on the fourth floor. So when I'm up to
the between the third and fourth floor, I heard people
coming up buying me. Scared me a little bit. Then
I thought they don't know I'm up here. I'm going
to record them and scare the hell out of them right.
So I thought, that's a good idea. Now I'm not

(06:11):
going to do it because what if they have a gun?
So then the next day happened again and I thought, oh,
I'm gonna scare the hell out.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Of them, and I didn't do it because I thought,
what if they have a knife. So today they weren't there.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
But I'm telling you guys this story because I'm going
to do it probably next week or maybe tomorrow, whenever
they're I'm going to scare the hell out of these
people that are coming.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
In after me.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
And you don't know who they are, no.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Idea where they are. They work on another floor. But
I'm gonna hide. I'm gonna hide and I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Come down now that I know the people use the
all of this, the stairwell, I will scare the hell
out of I imagine they're smokers too.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
Stairs mark your territory for sure by scaring the well.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
I think they're on the second of their floor. So
it's not it's not a lot, you know. In fact,
I coul tell exactly how many steps it is. It's
thirteen steps.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
I just picture you, John Jay. Maybe it might take
a couple of months because each day, it's a new weapon,
like you first didn't do it. The same have a gun,
then they might have a knife, then they might have
a switchblade, they might have a.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
So much, might have a semi so so I decided
not to.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
You're like maybe like three months down the road you
will have run out of all of the weapons and
then you'll finally took
