Speaker 1 (00:00):
People know who Scotty McCreary is. Yes, yes, I mean
he's done, He's had a career.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Did he win that year Idol?

Speaker 1 (00:06):
I don't think so. I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
I don't know who did, but I mean, yes, he
did well on Idol. He won that.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Like I said, I think he did win that year.
But he's gone on to have a career, right, absolutely,
So this is weird and this is why I bring
him up. I don't know that I've ever heard of
this before. So he posted it was one day while
late last week. This is going to be a bit

(00:35):
of a downer, but I've never heard of this before.
My heart is absolutely broken. Yesterday, both my grandma Janet
and my grandma Pekita passed away. I think I'm still
in a bit of shock as I type this, but
I'm choosing to remember the great memory he said that.
He goes on and says some nice things. Have you

(00:58):
ever heard of that before? Not just grand parents. So
we're two people, two family members died the same day,
but not not in the same event accident. No, no, no,
that would be tragic. But this is still sad. It's
still sad, but I don't think I've ever heard of
that before. Now, it would make sense that mostly it's

(01:20):
grandparents or parents just old age. But have you ever
heard of that happening before? Were two go on the
same day?

Speaker 4 (01:30):
And again I know their story, like the details of
their deaths. Oh yeah, no, no, it's it's a very
sweet story.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
His wife and the two grandparents.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
So for being on the farm in Elizabeth City, or
visiting the Outer Banks with Grandma Janet, the incredible memories
we made and at the backyard pool in Pinehurst all
the way to visiting Puerto Rico with Grandma Pakita. Both
of them truly taught me. But you've like I feel
like you've heard of like like Grandma dies and then
Grandpa dies like a year later.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Well, even if you believe much much closer to each other, yes.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
But on the same day.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Jeez, you wouldn't believe the second call, like, there's no way.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh, I didn't even think of that. I didn't even
think of like you had to get that second call, Kristen,
Will you do me a favor on the outside chance, Well,
you see, if this has ever happened to somebody, please,
and it doesn't have to be grandparents, No, Elliott.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Make it as broad as you want.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
But by the way, if you told me an uncle
and a grandparent, are we counting in laws?

Speaker 5 (02:42):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, your father in law dies on the same day
as your your nephew, yes, still your your.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Okay, yes, so you're still family at that point, but
not in death.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, it's definitely family close family. Man. That is a
wild story.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
On the same day, has he canceled but again, not
in the same event, because.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
That's what's important. Did he play this weekend? I probably
it's just grandparents. He just talked about how heartbroken he was.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
He had a date on the eleventh last week, so
wouldn't that was that the day they died.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
They died July ninth, Oh, okay, shared it on the tenth.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, because he had He had a Io Ohio date
on the tenth and Iowa date on the eleventh.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
The answer is yes, you're playing those and then he's.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Got a little break until the twenty second.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
And that's what he told himself, I'll that's when I'll
take the break.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
You're not canceling shows. He played a show in their honor,
and the audience set his performance of five more minutes
was just heart wrenching.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
And that's all fine.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
I didn't watch this clip here, I'm and that's now playing.
He's you can tell he's struggling not to cry. No,
you know what clips. I did watch a lot of
backs your boys at the Sphere Oasis had already played diet.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
I'm talking about this weekend. This weekend.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, I watched the back to the Beginning stuff too,
But my god, you want to talk about a band
that worked with those creative teams to create a show
using the technology of the Sphere.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
But I didn't watch any of the clips, but I
read something that said Latrell's voice is garbage. It has been.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
That's a hill thing.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Oh okay, well I guess it's still affecting him. Then
he have like a hole in his heart or something
like that.

He just put a big black X on that day.
It's pretty wild.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Now again, none of these, all of these are gonna
be sad, of course.

Speaker 3 (05:42):

in the morning, Hello, is this me?

Speaker 7 (06:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:41):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Who's this.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (06:43):
This is Laura from Richmond.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yes, ma'am.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Yeah, I'm a nurse and I used to work at
a memory care, like the eleven to seven shift, and
we had a husband and wife that's in the memory care,
but they were in separate rooms because they couldn't be
together anymore. And we had done like five o'clock rounds
and the wife passed, though we had called the family

(07:08):
and told them when we did seven o'clock rounds, the
husband had passed, and he had no idea she had passed,
so he had to call the family again because they
hadn't gotten there yet to let them know about dad.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Wow, By the way, when we call qualifies, did they
think you were like like it was a joke.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
No, When we called them, the daughter actually was like
that doesn't surprise me because mom and dad never did
anything not together.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
By the way, they were.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Of the way to look at, what a sweet way
to live. I don't even relieved.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, I mean I get that, I understand.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
The relief part of it, but you would think like, okay,
this is a bit.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Or there had been mixing.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
I mean, we were shocked. I've never had that happen
and to me before, so I was like, wow, kind
of like a notebook moment.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
That counts. That's a good one that you can't say that.
All right, very good, very good, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Did you get the notebook reference? You've never seen that movie?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
No, not at all.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I thought she meant like, you write that down in
your like your baby DJ notebook, like Teddy Roosevelt.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
That's spoiler alert. That's how they go at the end
of the movie.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Okay, spoiler alert. I've never seen it and won't, although
I did see. I did see a good documentary during vacation.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Can I guess? Yeah, go ahead poop cruise.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Yes, it is so good. It is so good. Did
you see it?

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I also watched it.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Oh, how great is it?

Speaker 7 (08:48):
It was?

Speaker 3 (08:48):
It was entertaining. How great is it it is?

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Fan Teddy? You forget they were stranded out there for
several more days that you knew.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Did you know who they opened the bar again?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
No, I had no idea about that.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
What an insane decision, But I get it.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
You're trying to do something. The best was the chef
who was talking about lasagna, where it was they would
put down like a padding of toilet paper you'd crap
on it. Put down a padding of toilet paper.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
It was like noodles and ricotta, the no, you know
what it was.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
It was like the It was like the porta potty
and Gretna that we used after Gretna Fest. That was
an unbelievable documentary. It is well worth whatever. The it's
not that long, it's only like an hour.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
That was great.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh, I'm so glad you watched it. That was so good.
Line five, Hi, elliot in the morning. Hi.

Speaker 9 (09:45):
A little bit of a bummer story. So actually this
past holiday season, my grandfather had been passed away from
Alzheimer's for some time. They knew he was getting ready
to pass and so all my aunts wereveling out there
to go and say their last respects. And on her
way out there, my aunt was hit by a drunk

(10:06):
driver and so he had passed away, and then within
maybe an hour she had gotten into the accident and
was killed immediately.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
In the accident.

Speaker 9 (10:16):
So it was hard, hard dealing with that finding out
back to back.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
So two things.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Number one, I'm obviously sorry for your loss.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Number number two, that counts.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
That counts.

Speaker 9 (10:36):
Though we figured it would, he it was it was not.
We had I'd gotten a phone call that he was
not doing great, and we knew that, you know, we
were preparing to say goodbye. But what I didn't expect
to get a phone call for was definitely my aunt
passing away.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
All right, very good, very good, Jesus.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
I also don't feel like And she started off her
story by saying, this is going to be a downer
at this point.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
We know where we're.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
It's always going to be a downer.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, no, can I tell you honestly what makes me? What?

Speaker 3 (11:13):
What makes me happy that people are willing.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
To share honestly, like that that's recent and that that
I mean, they're all bad, none of them are like well,
that's a good way the they're all bad, like a
exactly exactly, Hi, Ellie in the morning.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
God, I've missed doing this show.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, Hi, who's this?

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yes, Nicole, what can I do for you?

Speaker 7 (11:38):
So?

Speaker 10 (11:38):
I had my husband in the hospital having emergency at
indextamy surgery. His grandmother passed away that.

Speaker 8 (11:45):
Morning while he was in surgery, and immediately after he
got out of surgery, his father died.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Oh God, that's a new one where the person is
also in a I don't want to say a life
for that situation, but is in the hospital for her son.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
No, that's good. Also plot twist.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
I thought it was going to end with the surgery
went sound, hoping not.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Hey that.

Speaker 7 (12:18):
Because it was bad enough the way it was, thinking
that it didn't go.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Imagine him waking up out of anesthesia and he doesn't
know what's happening.

Speaker 10 (12:25):
Okay, Diane, Right, yeah, yeah, you know his mother loved
his mother or her mom and her husband in the
same day, and he lost his grandmother and his.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Dad in the same day. Yeah, hours of each other,
but in separate but not in the same event, all
separate events. Correct, Right there you go, all right, very good,
very good, thank you, thank you. By the way, you
know what, the other thing that I appreciate, nobody's played
I can top that with three.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Well, thank goodness.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah, now I will say I appreciate that. But also
we also want to be careful because some people are
submitting them online and they're like the more broken heart stories.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
That doesn't count. No, I'm sorry, it doesn't count.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Two precious members of your family dying on the same day.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
That will be another bit.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
But they're tied to the same knowing that the one died.
Like that's what I loved about the memory care story
that they the woman ensured no, no, even though they
were still married.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah no, Yes, a good point, great point, an important distinction.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
So yes, the brother.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
And also I'm not a big broken heart death person.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
I mean, I get people try to it's.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Comforting, it's comforting, but that that doesn't count for this
line seven. Hi Elliott in the morning.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Hey, yeah, Hi, who's as.

Speaker 7 (14:01):
Steve?

Speaker 8 (14:02):
Yes.

Speaker 11 (14:02):
Just about about twenty years ago, when I was a
swim coach, we had one of our swimmers. The father
had a heart attack one night, and they came to
find out the father's father, the grandfather had heart attack that.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
Same night as well. So both paris the same night,
completely different things.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
Wow. Wow, Wow, that's a good one.

Speaker 11 (14:22):
I can't imagine to get the phone call that your
son passed raided in the same night your husband.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, that's rough. I don't like to hey, thank you, sir.
I don't like to think of it from the phone
call part of it, because that's got to be devastating.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, like, let's not tell anybody the no.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
No, I get that it happened, but I don't know
that that needs to be included.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
As part of the storytelling.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Yeah, like, we all assume you found out by a
phone call. I know, but unless there's a good twist
to it, what like text chain?

Speaker 3 (14:56):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (14:57):
I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
I feel like some of the narratives make that phone
call important.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Line four, Hi, Elliott the morning because you worry about it.

he got the phone called out the grandmother passing.
