Speaker 1 (00:04):
Shannon was just sharing with me and everybody else in
the studio here something that has been going on in
her life at her house that actually turns out to be.
And I like how you said it was a blessing
in disguise. We're going to actually title this a blessing
in disguise. You got to explain to the listeners what's happening.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
To you buy an old house? They say, he has
lots of character. So, my eight year old Smith loves
to take a good long hot shower. When I say long,
I mean on the shorter end, twenty minutes. Usually we're
averaging about forty minute showers. Okay, hot to the amen
(00:42):
that this child is showering, So I don't care like
he is occupied for forty minutes.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
So about by the way, he's very young.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Otherwise I would say that if he was like a
teenage boy or a preteen we know what he's doing
in the shower right right in.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
There's little you do not see this when we're talking
about my eight year old. Okay, so about six weeks ago,
he was taking one of his famous forty minute long showers,
and I was down in the kitchen and all of
a sudden it sounded like a rain shower and water
was pouring through my downstairs ceiling, and I was like,
(01:16):
oh my god. And fast forward, this has become a
huge issue where I now have no ceilings in two rooms.
I have no bathroom where he was taking the shower.
That bathroom has been completely gutted because they had to
figure out what the root of the problem was.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So they got it the shower.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Then they couldn't find the problem, so then they did
the floor, then they did the wall that it's like.
Then it they figured out that the water had gone
down into the basement. So we were going to get
like insurance, we were going to get all of those
things fixed. The plumbers are still at my house. They've
been at my house for six weeks trying to figure
out what the heck is the problem. We'll come to
find out because my house was built in nineteen forty four,
(01:57):
it's old or I had cast iron pipes that were
paper thin. So they are realizing now that I was
on I'm talking like weeks away from having a major
major issue where my entire house would have essentially like
fallen apart, like every toilet was leaking in the in
(02:20):
the floorboards, everything was leaking in the walls. So as
much as we were making fun of Smith of you
caused this little man with your forty minute shour last night,
I told him it was a blessing in disguise that
this happened when it did and we were able to
fix it before it caused even more damage than was
already done.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, boy, oh boy, that's craziness. So they have to
repipe the whole house.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So they're repiping half of the house. Okay, essentially, Wow,
it's crazy. You know what, West was right?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You should have most iron.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Crusted me as this Every week as this drag's on,
I'm like, your idea wasn't so bad.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
He probably hasn't said I told you so, but you
know that look in's eyes has he given you that times.
The amazing thing is, you know you would when you
started talking about this and then said the blessing in disguise.
You hear these stories all the time about people that
had to like run back into the house because they
forgot something that they needed, only to then come upon
(03:21):
a huge car accident that they probably would have been
in the middle of.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Or you go to the hospital for something stupid and
find out that it was actually it's actually that there's
something else that Thanks God that something stupid happened so
you could figure out the big thing.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
How about Chelsea and I with that, with going and
getting a random scan, having a friend do that. Chelsea
would have never known about that. But I would love
to know if any listeners have ones that they can
share with us of a blessing in disguise where it
was something that you were you know, you know, upset
about it at first and then realizing, oh my god,
thank God.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
My biggest blessing in disguise was TikTok almost getting banned
because it forced me to look for a job.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
And now I'm sitting look at you. That's fired.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, oh no, because we wanted to throw back, well too,
got to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
She, by the way, is a different person on a
Friday when she wins to throw back, smile, shine and bright.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Shout out.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
I was just at the dentist and Kevin's been so
salty since then. Like I said, as long as Shannon
doesn't win, I'm good. He's what if Anna goes on
a roll and wins. I don't think there are enough
weeks that's good.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
All right, let's get back to Yeah, that was my
blessing in disguise today.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
And you're a blessing disguise for winning today.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So Kevin didn't win, so that we don't have to
listen to his get today.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I want to win. Hold on a second, Jordan, what
happened Jordan's.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Last year? For Christmas? We celebrated downstairs in my basement,
and a couple of days afterwards, there was a giant
rainstorm and I had to go downstairs to get some
paper towel or something and go downstairs and the hole chair.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Oh my god, wow. Can I tell you?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And I don't know if this happened to you, but
I've had flooded basements before. The worst feeling in the
world is when you walk down the stairs and then
you get that first squish.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Oh, That's exactly what it was. And it was dark
and it was just like and I'm like, oh, and
I just yelled from my mom and I'm like, oh no.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I never Poor Chelsea has to deal with me. You know,
I'm normally a decently calm person, but when something breaks
in our house, I get so upset that I will
like blow off and I will never forget the moments
of my flooded basements and having them and just being
like goddamn.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
Ye and the rug doctors shop backs just that.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Can I recommend if you don't have water alarms in
your house that you should look at a water alarm.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
We got we got those now.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So the water alarm basically you can set it up.
If you have like alarm service or whatever you know
in your house, you can ask them to put a
water alarm in your house.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Or if you just want to have an alarm, Amazon buy.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
You can buy him literally for ten dollars in Amazon.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
If you have the it's set up through If you
do have an alarm company, you can have a set
up that it will alert your phone, which saved my
ass a bunch of times, where it will alert your
phone and then it just like they call the alarm company,
they'll do it and you can stop like a huge
flood for like a sensor like if it reaches a
certain level, if it gets wet, If the thing gets wet,
it goes off. The one that Shannon was talking on
(06:32):
Amazon is good too, because it will just fire off
the loudest noise in the world.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Like smoke. I've had my off. Yeah, Evelyn, what's going on?
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Good morning, I have a blessing in disguised story to share.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
So, my father in law was cleaning leaves off his
roof several years ago and kind of fell and hurt
his back and decided to go to the er. And
while he was there, they did a scan and they
saw something on his pancreas. So we followed up and
he ended up having pancreated cancer. But because he found
it early, he lived for like over five years with it. Wow,
(07:05):
because he caught it so early.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Wow, Thank god. Man.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It's literally God looking out for you guys there, right.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yeah, yeah, it was pretty crazy, but he was glad
he founded early so he could. Can I get treatment her?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yeah? That's great.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Falling off the root roof ain't so bad, you know
what I mean? What's going on, Samantha?
Speaker 7 (07:29):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
So, first time, long time ago.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
So I'm calling because two days ago in our neighborhood
there was an active shooter. By random stroke of fate,
my daughter decided to take our dog for a walk
and our house was actually shot.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Oh, oh my god, Wow.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
The scariest moment ever.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Wow, Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
That did they get her from myland?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
So our house, like, our neighborhood is quiet, like nothing
like that's ever happened in our town. Yeah, and some
crazy guy just.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Came and was literally shooting each way, just at random,
shooting houses, shooting cars like craziness.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Did they catch everybody?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
They did?
Speaker 7 (08:25):
It was just one guy.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
They caught him pretty much right away.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Nobody was shot, nobody was hurt.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
It was just such a such a crazy blessing.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Wow that nobody got.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Hurt at all.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Man, Oh my god, that said. That's thank God for that.
Michelle also had a shooting situation.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Happened. What happened, Michelle?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
So my kids were little, and they went to school,
probably about a mile from our house. I had some
important banking I had to do, so I had pulled
into the bank parking lot and got a call from
the school that I needed to come pick up my son.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
He was sick.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
So it was irritated. I left, went to the school,
picked them up, had to go right back to the
bank to make sure I made the deposit, got back
in the parking lot, got another call from the school again.
My other kid was sick. Left the parking lot, went
back to the school picked him up. Was extremely irritated
because I wasn't going to be able to make this deposit.
And it was a good thing because the bank was
(09:21):
being wrapped.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Oh oh what.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yep, so very fortunate the bank cooperated. The people that
were in the bank that we know said two of
them got shot. Actually I think both people quit after that.
But thank god that the school call.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
This ain't coincidence, that's happening. Absolutely, what's up, Ethan?
Speaker 7 (09:48):
Hey for some months, so I was calling about four
almost five years ago, I was forced to go on
a family trip with my brother's girlfriend's family and it
was another banks and I did not want to go
because I didn't know anyone but my brother and my
(10:09):
brother's girlfriend.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
So I was a little nervous.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
But I ended up meeting my current wife there, so
it kind of worked out in the end.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's a great story, a good one that one kind
of doesn't fit what we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
His heart, he forced himself to go. It doesn't really
think I mean, compared to the.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know, the bank robbery one or the taking the
dog for a walk and I got shot. I like it, Ethan.
I mean, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
I think you're a hater mojo.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I'll be honest with you. I'm like going, how did
this guy get through? All right? Okay, thank you for
