I'm Mangesha Teegular and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talk to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, blue zoners, super seniors and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with living forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.
Neighbor/Commentator
I'd say probably start bone smashing.
Bobby
That doesn't work.
Neighbor/Commentator
To make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

Amy
Betrayal Weekly is back with brand new stories from threatening text messages disturbing a small Midwestern town. It was from an unknown number.
Bobby
Who else is getting these messages?
Amy
Why did it start with us? To long cons and stolen identities.
Mangesha Teegular
Who lies about being this sick?
Bobby
This was the last time I ever believed a word she said.
Amy

Bobby
It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. I'll go first. Baby Billy had a four month checkup yesterday. It was great. You know I've been reading about babies, and they all grow differently, meaning sometimes they're really small and they turn out to be huge humans. Sometimes they're huge, and they turn out to be a small human. So it doesn't. It doesn't really have to do with how big they are, although it can. But she's 90 percentile on everything, size wise.
Guest/Listener
Wow.
Bobby
Like, length, head. Oh, hair.
Guest/Listener
Hair.
Bobby
Probably 99.
Guest/Listener
Big hair.
Bobby
So, yeah, we had a good appointment yesterday. Everything's rocking. So that's good. Caitlin gets a little more nervous about it than I do. She actually gets anxious about it. And like, man, let's go. Went. No problem. Everything was excellent.
Amy
So good.
Bobby
Yeah, that's mine. That's pretty good.
Theo Henderson
You?
Amy
Mine's a little. We're going to go back to 2012. I think that was my first time to Haiti. And on that trip, I met this girl, Susie, and at the time, she was probably entering her early teens, and she's. So. She's an adult now. And I got a text message late last night from some of my Haiti people that she's gotten married, had a baby, and was living, like, nine hours away from Port au Prince, which is where I had originally met her. And they were living with her husband's family. Something happened to them. They lost their home, and they were homeless. And I had no idea any of this is happening. But she made it back to Port au Prince with her husband and her baby, and the orphanage was just able to give her a job. And so. So now she's going to be working at the orphanage, and someone from the orphanage has set her up with a place to live nearby for a little bit. And I just thought, oh, that's so cool that she was able to come back. And there's people there that are actually able to take care of her because some of them can barely take care of themselves at this point. But there was a space for her, and now they're kind of getting back on their feet again. And I just thought that was a really cool. First I was heartbroken, obviously, their situation, but then that people in Haiti even stepped up, like, these aren't Americans. These are Haitians taking care of Haitians.
Bobby
You haven't been back, right?
Amy
I haven't been back since the kids came home. And so that was December 2017, and
Bobby
a lot of that's because it got very, very dangerous there.
Amy
Yeah. During, like, the first two years, it was probably still okay. But we made a deal. We wanted to take the kids back, but we heard from a lot of People give them two years to acclimate in America and then kind of processing things and then depending on their maturity, probably our daughter first we could take her back, then our son. But in that two years, it started to get civil unrest in Port au Prince got really, really bad. And then it was advised we do not go. Some people still make the trip. Us taking the kids was not wise. Now, Stashira's dad, he's my ex husband, he's talked about taking her like in recently. They may still go because her mom lives hours outside of Port au Prince where it's safe. But it's the problem of, like, where do you travel into? Because there are times where it's like, don't fly into the Port au Prince airport because gangs are shooting at the airplanes and the airport's been shut down. Now that's not the case right now. You just never know when that may. The unrest may heighten.
Bobby
Even when it was safe, that airport did not feel safe.
Amy
Yeah, I never felt unsafe. And I know that's probably.
Bobby
I know you did it, though a bunch.
Amy
I did it a lot. And I would go by myself. The crazy thing is, I'm thinking back on times. I would go by myself sometimes for a meeting with their child services there, and I would have an appointment, and I would go pop in, pop out. I'd be there 24 hours.
Interjector
But I.
Amy
But I did have good security. But that was the thing. And going. We did have good security, but the guy that we would get that team through, he started to tell us, like, hey, look, you can come, but I'm letting you know, like, you're not here saving lives. You're not a doctor. You're not this, that. Like, you're kind of putting my guys at risk. And so that wasn't worth it. And again, it's not all of Haiti that's like that, but it's probably where
Bobby
the most people are.
Amy
Yeah. Our orphanage is right in the meat of that. So those are the people I go see. But if you're going to visit other parts of Haiti and get there through
Guest/Listener
the airport, though, is that the one airport that you land on?
Amy
Yeah, I mean, there might be. I've never flown into any other parts of Haiti through anywhere else. Or some people go into the doctor and then they. Depending on where they need to go to Haiti, then they'll drive through. Because flying into the doctor is common.
Bobby
Yeah, I. I only went once, and I also wasn't blinded with intention. Like, you were right. You had it.
Caller
You were.
Bobby
Yep.
Caller
Yeah.
Bobby
And so I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to die. I landed. And you have to get off on one of those ladders first in the middle of a wide open tarmac.
Guest/Listener
Oh, right.
Bobby
And so you're going, oh, boy. This is not what I'm used to. They have to do that in Europe a little bit. And that doesn't feel as weird because
Amy
there are people like, I also do that in Colorado.
Bobby
Yeah. Probably small, though. Yeah, Very small airport. Generally. Here we don't do that.
Amy
I know. Yeah.
Bobby
They roll. They do that little rant. That little air ramp thing out there.
Amy
They roll it out there.
Bobby
And then like, when you go in to check into that airport, it's just like, good luck, find your spot. There's people everywhere, just milling about, chickens running through.
Raiders of the Lost Podcast Host
Yeah.
Amy
But you can pay.
Bobby
I didn't know it told me that
Amy
people to take you.
Bobby
I feel like, though, that. Because I did hire somebody for security.
Amy
Charlotte.
Guest/Listener
Yeah.
Bobby
And so I feel like, though, they could have turned on me at any time for a bigger payday.
Guest/Listener
Oh, damn.
Amy
No, no, no.
Bobby
And not. Not him specifically, but I didn't know him. Like, I feel like if I'm hiring somebody for security, they're doing it for the money. They're not doing it for the charity. So if someone offers them even more money to not secure me, then I'll be quickly unsecure.
Guest/Listener
That's straight from a movie for sure.
Bobby
It's crazy.
Amy
Well, he worked for the former prime minister, so he did whatever.
Bobby
Oh, that's so corrupt.
Guest/Listener
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah. There's even been some stuff with him lately, but I choose not to believe it because I'm like, he helped me get my kids.
Bobby
Yeah, no, I'm not even talking about him. I'm just saying, generally speaking, you go to a gas station, a normal gas station or convenience store, I should say, because there weren't pumps. To me, every store is a gas station, but there weren't pumps. But we pull. And there'd be a guy with a machine gun outside the door, just protecting the.
Amy
And there's a gate.
Bobby
Not all the stores. The hotels. Yes.
Neighbor/Commentator
Yeah.
Amy
But at some stores, too, there's a gate. It may be open, but they can lock everything up. When they went to or outside of our orphanage guest house, there's a guy with a gun.
Bobby
I never went to a store with a gate. I'm not saying that. You're not telling the truth. The ones that we went to, they were just on the side of the road, but there were guys holding machine guns. Not to Scare you from coming in to allow you to feel like it's safe to go in.
Guest/Listener
Wow.
Bobby
And when you're driving on the streets there. And Amy has way more experience than me at doing this because I went one time. I don't know.
Raiders of the Lost Podcast Host
It's.
Amy
It's.
Bobby
You want to go, Go. You don't. Don't you want to stop? Stop. You want what. What lane do you want to drive in?
Guest/Listener
Go for it.
Bobby
Huge potholes, traffic lights. Maybe it's cr. But they have the system down.
Amy
Yeah. If you know how to navigate it and drive there, it can be great.
Gary Valenciano
Great.
Amy
But it's windy. And also, we were down below. What I learned after going for so many years and meeting different people, like the former prime minister, is like, look at, like, a mountain, sort of like a. If the city goes up, the higher up you got, the wealthier it got. And I had no idea because I always was hanging out down below to orphanage. And when I met him, it introduced me to first world Haiti. And I was like. We went and had sushi one night at the top of this hill, and, like, his home was beautiful. I. I just was like, whoa. I had no. Did people down there. Do they know? Do they know up here? Y' all live this way? It was. I. And I felt really safe. Like, there was shopping. Like, amazing shopping. I'm like, this feels weird. Like, I want to go back. Yeah. Like, you just. It was really interesting to me. Now I don't know. I haven't been back in a long time. I don't know how that is, because I think some of those people even left to Miami. Like, they have homes in Miami, too, so they don't. They're not there full time.
Bobby
It's also wild how close it is to Florida.
Guest/Listener
So close.
Bobby
Because it's another country. So you feel like it should be the travel distance of another country, but.
Amy
And Haiti can be so beautiful. I know there's a lot of negativity about it, too, but there's so many beautiful parts. Like, when Bandam and I would go over there to visit the kids, sometimes we would take a little beach vacation, like a couple hours from Port au Prince, and it was so pretty. They just never. They don't have the infrastructure for tourism. They didn't. They weren't. They're not able to develop it because of, well, numerous reasons.
Bobby
But, Yep, Crazy corruption, too. But that happens. Where there's not a lot of resources, all the resources are taken by a few. There's also crazy corruption here in the
Amy
city right at the top of the hill that I went to.
Bobby
Yeah.
Guest/Listener
I was like, different world up there.
Brett
Yeah.
Bobby
I'm glad. I'm glad to hear your story.
Amy
So, yeah, my tellings in the good is about this sweet girl that I haven't seen in forever, but I had no idea she endured that, but that she was able to make her way back home and had some people huddle around her and take her in.
Guest/Listener
You said she lived nine hours away from Port au Prince. The island's that big.
M
That's what I was wondering.
Amy
Well, like Bobby said, the roads, like, think about you're going, you know, as the crow flies, or it may not seem that hard. Or if you had, like a legit highway, it might not be that far. But some of these roads are windy and really bad. And then there's traffic.
Bobby
Yeah, nine hours does seem like a lot Same, I thought. But then I looked at a map. What do I know? But some places you can't get to. Let's say you're on the top tip. You got to go all the way around because it doesn't go straight through because it's ocean.
Amy
Yeah. So when I was doing something with the former prime minister once, like, we were. There was. I can't remember. Was it a hurricane? Yeah, I think a hurricane. We went to go do relief and we had to get on some plane that took off on dirt.
Bobby
Nope.
Amy
In Haiti. And he's like, it's fine, it's fine. And we went to some fisherman's village called, like, maybe, I don't know, Jockmiel. I can't remember the name.
Guest/Listener
What?
Amy
Jockmiel?
Guest/Listener
Yeah.
Mangesha Teegular
That was close.
Bobby
I thought you said the island of Jock. Me off.
Caller
What?
Bobby
Nothing.
Amy
No, And I don't even remember.
Bobby
Did you guys hear that?
Mangesha Teegular
A little bit.
Amy
If I had them, it might have been Jeremy or something.
Bobby
As long as it wasn't.
M
Yeah.
Bobby
The other island of.
Amy
I cannot remember.
Bobby
Shocked me off.
Amy
I think it started with a J. But I. That's probably the most scared I've ever been. I never was scared of people or anything there. In my environment, it was getting on that plane and flying to this fisherman village to deliver supplies.
Bobby
Good story. Glad to hear that, Eddie. Tell me something good.
Guest/Listener
So when I went. Speaking of the islands, when I was in Puerto Rico, like, I guess I wasn't putting sunblock on my lips really. So when I got back, all my lips were cracked. And I've been dealing with these cuts in my mouth, like right around where my. Like, the outside of my lip goes in the inside of My mouth. And I don't know if you guys have noticed, but the last two weeks I've just been like. It's hard for me to talk. So I've been putting, like, this little numb thing on there while we do the show.
Bobby
I don't want to stop you.
Guest/Listener
No, I'm still talking.
Navy Federal Credit Union Announcer
Okay, good.
Bobby
Yeah, we haven't noticed. You also haven't sounded funny.
Guest/Listener
Yeah, so I just been putting this, like, numb thing on there. But like, finally after yesterday, I'm like, you know what? They're all gone. They're all healed, which is kind of cool. And. And between the numb thing and I would gargle salt water, it kind of got healed pretty quick. So that was really good for me.
Bobby
Are you a sunscreen guy?
Guest/Listener
No. So usually I do one burn a
Bobby
summer, like, with purpose.
Guest/Listener
Like, just the summer. Like, if I'm at the pool for,
Bobby
like, you purposefully will get a first burn.
Guest/Listener
It just happens. So, like, if I don't sunblock and I go to the pool and I take my shirt off, whatever. I. I usually get a good burn. One. One burn a summer, and then, like, after that, I don't need sunblock.
Bobby
But you don't do it on purpose.
Guest/Listener
No.
Bobby
Beginning of summer, let me get my first burn so the rest of the year. Because that feels like a strategy some people would use. And I don't know. But you also have darker skin.
Guest/Listener
Yeah, but am I not darker?
Bobby
Like, I can't tell.
Guest/Listener
I feel like I'm really dark right now.
Bobby
You know, unless you're really white, like, you're an actual Caucasian person, I'm not going to comment on the darkness or dark darkness of your skin. It's funny because I might off Mike.
Guest/Listener
Okay. When we're done, let me know.
Bobby
I haven't noticed you're any darker, though. No.
Guest/Listener
My neighbor, for some reason, she just comes up to me, is like, you are so dark.
Bobby
See, I would never say that.
M
That's. That's very bold.
Guest/Listener
And then I'm like, I didn't notice. But okay.
Caller
Yeah.
Guest/Listener
I mean, I've been driving with it without the top on the Jeep. Maybe that's it. But I don't know. I just. Yeah, I do one burn a summer, and then after that I really don't need sunblock because I'm pretty dark.
Amy
Jealous?
Bobby
Well, I have a strategy.
Amy
What is it?
M
Don't go in the sun.
Amy
Oh, I know. I. I also. Eddie doesn't have to ever think about this, but self tanner is something that I do quite often, and I kind of don't know.
Bobby
Is that fake tanner?
Amy
Yeah. Self tanner or spray tan? If it's an event, spray tan. But then otherwise at home with, like, a mitt, I just put it on or I spray the stuff on my face. Right now I don't have anything on my face. I have, like, bronzer, like, powder all over because I'm so pale, but because I don't know if the self tanner is gonna be doing. You're putting this all on your skin. Like, what are. Like, now? Are they gonna be like, can't believe we used to lather ourselves in self tanner all the time?
Bobby
Maybe, but we're also eating crazy chemicals too.
Amy
I know.
Bobby
I'm not gonna judge ya.
Amy
I'm still gonna do it. But part of me wants to just embrace my paleness. Like, why? Why? Why can't I just be. Feel good? Like, you think you're depressed, and then you get a spray tan. I don't mean, like, clinically depressed. Obviously, I want to be sensitive to that.
Mangesha Teegular
Sad.
Amy
But you think you're like, oh, my life is terrible. And then you get a spray tan and you're like, oh, everything's better now. But, like, why?
Bobby
There were other societies, generations before us, where a tan was seen as something the working class had. And you did not want to have a tan because that meant you were outside.
Guest/Listener
Oh, wow.
Bobby
And so the noble, the rich, they would never go outside. They would be in their castles. They would be at their estates. So the more pale you were, the more desirable you were. It was also the same thing with weighing more. It meant you had more food to eat. It meant you had more.
Amy
We have just screwed everything up.
Guest/Listener
Yeah.
Bobby
Like now that's just generally across the board, that thing.
Guest/Listener
Now we don't eat, and we're like, I'm hot, I'm sexy, because I don't eat.
Amy
I could be wrong. Is it Coco Chanel that made the tan popular?
Bobby
She was a Nazi. She was Nazi sympathizer. You know, maybe look that up. I don't think. You can't be. You can't sue me if you're dead.
Guest/Listener
And she.
Amy
Yeah, I think it's that she designed clothes for them and didn't, like, hold a boundary of, like, oh, you're a Nazi. I'm not going to design for you. But even she was sort of. What was that show? I learned about that.
Bobby
Historical evidence and classified documents confirmed the Coco Chanel was a Nazi sympathizer and intelligence operative.
Amy
Geez.
Bobby
During World War II, she was a. A registered agent for the aboard German Military Intelligence with the codename Westminster and agent number F7 124. It was more than the uniforms.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Bobby
So she also had a long term affair with Baron Hans Gunther von Dinklage, a high ranking Nazi diplomat and Gestapo spy. Following the liberation of Paris, Coco Chanel was arrested in 1944. She was released, likely due to interventions by high level British officials. She was then fled to Switzerland and lived in exile.
M
Wow.
Bobby
How about that? How about that PR team? Because you don't even think about that unless somebody like me goes, wasn't she a Nazi sympathizer?
Amy
Because then I'm like, well, wait, why did. How did her bat like her? How did her brand survive that? Because it's so. I mean, obviously it's wildly expensive, but it's very high regarded and popular. High. Highly regarded and popular.
Bobby
I think of her as a Nazi sympathizer. Like when you said that, my mind, because I've read this before, my mind went to. Oh, yeah. Not to sympathize with Kokoshi.
Guest/Listener
Now I will.
Bobby
You won't think about it often though, to be honest, because it doesn't come up a lot.
Amy
Well, what about the tan? Did she bring the tan?
M
Oh, I don't know.
Bobby
Did she make the tan? All I heard was Nazi sympathizer.
Guest/Listener
So was she German or she.
Bobby
I don't think she was German, but let's see if I were guessing what she was. She was probably French because that sounds French. Chanel.
Guest/Listener
Yeah.
Bobby
Coco Chanel was born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. Her ethnicity was white European and she was French. She was rooted in the working class regions of the Lower valley in central France.
Guest/Listener
Wow.
M
And Amy, your thing, back then, they thought pale was a sign of rich because you didn't have to work outside until Coco Chanel went on a trip and she came back and she was tan because she was on a yacht in the French Riviera. And that's when they were like, whoa, tan is cool.
Bobby
You saved it.
Guest/Listener
You did save it.
Bobby
All of us looked at each other
Amy
like, I think he was setting up.
Bobby
No, he definitely was. When you started telling that story again, what do you look stuff up on? Like what, you look it up on Google? Got it.
M
I said Coco Chanel. No, no, no.
Bobby
When you started telling it again, it sounded like you didn't hear the first part of me saying pale people. But you did.
Guest/Listener
Working outside. Yeah, yeah.
Bobby
We all looked at you like, was he listening? Yeah. Right, you were.
Interjector
Yeah.
M
And I was just saying that. Yeah. I was trying to talk to you about the.
Amy
So it was. She ruined.
Theo Henderson
She.
Amy
Now I know a lot of things now. I'm mad at her for the Nazi stuff. And I'm mad at her for making tan cool.
Bobby
Historically, larger body sizes were often viewed as elite because they served as visible, undeniable advertisement of wealth, food, security, and freedom from unusual labor.
Guest/Listener
I kind of like that. Tan is cool. You know, just fall right into it.
Bobby
Yeah, but tan. Well, you're tanner.
Guest/Listener
I know. And I love that.
Bobby
Yeah. If I were naturally tan, too. Me too. I'm pretty pale.
Theo Henderson
Okay.
Bobby
What story was that from? Eddie.
Guest/Listener
That was mine.
Bobby
Yeah.
Amy
It was his color.
M
It started as his lips.
Raiders of the Lost Podcast Host
Yep.

I'm Mangesha together, and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones, and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about and what it really means to live forever for all of us. I learned about some rad science.
Bobby
I can make a brain for you. And then we can test what draw is the best for your brain as opposed to his brain.

Here are some hard truths.

I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five year

I'd say probably start bone smashing.

That doesn't work.

Theo Henderson
Mainstream media is full of cruel depictions of the unhoused. Stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We the unhoused is the podcast that's changing that. I'm Theo Henderson, creator and host, and for years I've created a space where the unaus and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBQTIA community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence we'd in houses. A two time Webby and Signal award winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon. Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. Gio Wicheric, a street doctor turned influencer whose work with the unhoused community has made a huge impact online and in her community.

Bobby
Tell me something good.
M
Yeah, well, I got a something good and something concerning. It's all tied together. So the rain held off yesterday. Like the sun was shining. I was like, you know what? I'm gonna go play some golf. So I went and played some golf. It was great, beautiful day, enjoyed the sunshine. But I woke up this morning and the left guy hurts.
Bobby
Your nut hurts again? Same one from last time or.
M
No, same one.
Guest/Listener
Did you walk?
M
No, I didn't even walk. Okay, that's what I'm saying. But just playing golf, like, I don't know what it is, but it did not hurt. I didn't do anything but play golf. And so that has caused the pain in the left side today. And it is like, man, it's uncomfortable.
Guest/Listener
Is it enlarged?
Bobby
That's so frustrating.
M
It is very frustrating.
Bobby
That has been how long since?
M
A year and a month.
Bobby
And you've gone and done a lot of things and seen a lot of
M
people and I have another appointment with Dr. K tomorrow.
Bobby
Okay. I wonder. I, I, I, I'm not a doctor, so never mind.
M
No, no, go ahead.
Guest/Listener
I'm just wondering.
M
I literally have no idea what is.
Bobby
If it were me, I would look, I'd go heavy in researching and it's a universal term. What peptides could help me with the inflammation that's happening in your testicle.
M
A what?
Bobby
A peptide. I just basically a shot, but that has something in it. That could help the inflammation. And parts of your body, they. Again, it's a very cool thing to say. Now it's like, what peptide are you on that type thing? But they are actually, if used right, really good for you.
M
Yeah. And like, I.
Bobby
The right ones. The right ones.
M
I wish it was just the love. Like, if I could just pinpoint where it is. Like, if it's just that one spot, but like, it's the pain in the side when I run. And then, you know, like the next day it'll move across the front and the. The left guy downstairs has not been bothering me for months. And then I play golf and it's like, oh, my God, that hurts.
Bobby
Like, the doc. Dr. K will know way more, but he's probably going to say, it's not even your nut that's the problem.
M
Right. It's something. Something in your gut sending it down to there.
Bobby
So it's identifying that.
M
Yeah, man. Like, so I was just like, today I'm walking around, I'm like, gosh, that hurts. Like, it's uncomfortable.
Bobby
That's frustrating.
M
Like, it doesn't hurt when you sit down, but when you're walking, not good.
Bobby
Can you inject yourself with stuff? Have you ever.
M
No, no, I've never done the h.
Amy
No, no, not like that.
Gary Valenciano
What.
M
But I mean, what else would you inject yourself with?
Guest/Listener
A diabetic?
Bobby
I do nad shots every.
Amy
Just like little teeny tiny needles.
M
Like, oh, no, I've never done. Never done.
Bobby
I don't know if mine's teeny tiny. It's not huge, but it's not teeny tiny. Like, give me some respect here.
Guest/Listener
How big is it?
M
Whoa, that's a big needle.
Guest/Listener
That's long.
Amy
Well, you can get smaller ones.
Bobby
I think maybe it's. I don't know. I feel like it's that long. And I put it into the. My. The side of my butt or my little belly fat right here beside my scar. And so. But I. I do those. But I. When I had my first shoulder injury, I went to a doctor and he said, you should. You do get on this. It'll help the inflammation in your shoulder. And I did that. That was the first time.
Amy
And I was like, was it a peptide?
Bobby
It was. I thought, there's no way I can inject myself every day. And then I did. And then about a month and a half through working out the proper way and doing rehab and also probably the shots, it helped. But, yeah, you can do the age.
M
Yeah, that's why. I mean, when you said injecting yourself. I'm like, no, I haven't done that. But I didn't know there was other options.
Guest/Listener
There's other things.
Bobby
Yeah. Morgan.
Neighbor/Commentator
So yesterday there was some commotion on my street. Somebody was lighting off fireworks. Not sure why at this point.
Bobby
14th.
Neighbor/Commentator
Yes. And there was a big one, too. It wasn't just little fountains. It was the big shells, artillery shells that go off. And so it caused a lot of us to come out. And I ended up having an hour long conversation with one of my neighbors last night, late at like 9pm I should have been in bed, but they were sitting on their porch, we were sitting on ours. And it was just fun to sit and have a long conversation with him. And we kind of walked in like, oh, that's. That was enjoyable. To just sit there and talk and not really have a. There was no set plan to hang out. It just kind of transpired that way. And we were just sitting there talking about life.
Bobby
So it made you closer to your neighbor.
Neighbor/Commentator
Yeah.
Bobby
So you should thank those people that were shooting fireworks, Kind of.
Neighbor/Commentator
But I'm still mad at them because
Amy
why are you letting off fireworks?
Bobby
Too many dogs and babies, man. I used to just get mad about dogs. Now it's a whole different level. Let me take a couple calls here. They've been waiting patiently. So let's go to dog Debbie in Auburn. Hey, Debbie, you're on the show. Good morning.
Caller
Hey, good morning.
Bobby
How are you?
Caller
Good. I was just wanting to call in and tell you my two cents, because I'm a woman and we all have opinions.
Bobby
Okay.
Caller
So I don't know about this whole daylight savings time. Why don't they just throw it back 30 minutes and leave it mostly 30 minutes. Perfect.
Bobby
Well, because neither side would really win, right? Like, why change it if neither of the sides are going to win? That's a part of it. And if you have some doing 30 minutes and some not, and then you'd have issues with clocks and probably TV schedules and 30 minutes is a weird, clunky time. But mostly it's because nobody really wins there. I agree. I love a good compromise. Some. Some countries do time shift, though 30 minutes completely. And it. It's odd, but. Yeah, but that's. That's the logical answer there. But I'm with you. What else?
Caller
That was it.
Bobby
Oh, great.
Interjector
Well, how.
Bobby
How's your day going?
Caller
Oh, it's good. I've got to work.
Bobby
All right, nice. Yeah. Well, I appreciate you calling.
Caller
All right. Thanks for taking my call.
Bobby
All right, see you later. I mean, to kill her vibe There.
Guest/Listener
I thought she had one thing to say.
Bobby
Yeah, Thought she had more. Let's see what it says here. Several countries have regions and time zones offset by 30 minutes instead of whole hours. India, they have a 30 minute time difference. Iran, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka. Oh, these are all countries I don't want to go to. Myanmar. Myanmar, I don't know where that is. Australia, I've been there, but only parts of it, it looks like. And Newfoundland in Canada. Oh, man. I've learned a lot with this daylight
Guest/Listener
savings time stuff, so I'm not smart enough to understand how it works. Like, if you didn't change the time, then shouldn't the sun go up and down at the same time always? Or does it shift?
Bobby
So it does shift a bit based on the Earth and rotation relationship. Yeah, the seasons.
Neighbor/Commentator
Right.
Bobby
Yeah, just seasons in general. The sun up and down at different times, even if you. The clock stayed the same the whole time. Like winter solstice, you know, where it's the night the longest. Summer solstice. So, yes.
Guest/Listener
So basically by us changing the time,
Bobby
explaining that properly, I'd say, yeah, okay.
Amy
I'd say.
Guest/Listener
So by us changing the time, we're trying to get back even to where we were. Sure. Okay.
Bobby
I don't know if it's even.
Guest/Listener
I feel like I need to see it. Like, I feel like we need, like, like, you know, we need one year of this and then you can test
Amy
it out yourself and just pretend that's hard, though.
Bobby
Well, they did one year. I told you back in the 70s it went 10 months and they said,
Guest/Listener
nope, take it back.
Bobby
Farmers don't like it because it's darker in the morning and they really can't get started until later when it stays darker later. Now you can meet that with businesses like it because people are more active when it's lighter. And so businesses like the light later because it does make them more money and helps that version of the economy.
Guest/Listener
Interesting.
Bobby
So one kind of cancels out the other if you don't do either one because you don't want farmers to get screwed. Screwed over. But then you want businesses to thrive and you're like, I don't know. So just don't. But yeah, that's what's up. The 30 minutes, though, would be really clunky, especially if, like a certain state did it and one didn't. That's not even an hour. That's 30 minutes change the time. Let's go to Brett in. Maybe in Mobile. Are you in Mobile, Brett?
Brett
I am actually on the interstate headed to Atlanta from Mobile.
Bobby
Are you going to the World Cup?
Brett
I am.
Bobby
Oh, wow. That's pretty exciting.
Guest/Listener
That's really cool.
Brett
Yeah. Yeah. My, my 17 year old son, he is a huge messy fan. So he, he lured us into getting a pair of tickets. So last minute decision.
Bobby
So today against England, Is that the game you're going to?
Brett
Yep. Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby
Argentina and England and were tickets really expensive?
Brett
They were for the pair. I think they're a little over six grand.
Bobby
Oh my God.
M
You better be close to the field.
Amy
The World cup was still happening.
Bobby
Yeah. So there's three teams left. After today there'll only be two teams. I'll be sure be one game left. Well, two. They do a third place game, but they do. Yeah, that game.
Caller
Wow.
Amy
Wow, wow.
Bobby
So did he do anything special? Like was there something you're celebrating or is it just, hey, you're just a good kid and this only happens once every four years?
Brett
No, he, he is a great kid. He's. He's honor student. He never asked for anything.
Caller
He.
Brett
He plays soccer at his school at a faith academy in Mobile. It's ironic though. He wears number seven on his soccer team, which is Ronaldo's number. But that's, that's neither here nor there.
Bobby
But I can't believe it's.
Brett
But anyway.
Bobby
Thousand dollars, that's why. Well, that's.
Brett
Yeah, that, that was, that was. Yeah, that was. He, of course he had to get midfield tickets and they were, they're kind of the middle of the road tickets. The really expensive ones were like six grand a piece and the cheaper ones were right around two a piece. But, but anyway, that. It's. It's not. Anyway, it's. It's probably Messi's last World cup and you know, it's his soccer hero, so.
Bobby
Did you ever take him to watch mls? Messi playing for the Miami team?
Brett
Yeah.
Caller
So.
Brett
So for Christmas, my wife and I got him tickets to Miami vs Atlanta this coming October. So we'll be going back to Atlanta for MLS in October to watch him.
Bobby
I'm looking.
Brett
And then we also went. We also went to where those tickets were only like 600. Those weren't bad. But we went to. We went. When Argentina played Iceland for a friendly match in Auburn, we went to that also, so.
M
Oh my goodness. Hey man, if you want to buy messy tickets here in Nashville, I'll just sell them to you for six grand. They come in a couple months, $20,000.
Bobby
If you want front row tickets today for one ticket.
Guest/Listener
Wow.
Bobby
I'm looking at it here. Row one, 127. $20,444. Just five rows back. Tickets are $13,000 a piece. That's crazy. Well, I hope Argentina beats crap out of England.
Brett
Hey, we got him shout out to paw Paul. He helped us out with those. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Bobby
He don't want to go.
Brett
He. No, he's. He's got some knee problems and stuff. And I asked him. I'd rather much him take them if. But he. He would rather me have the experience with him, so. But. But yeah, the. He bought him during the match with Argentina and Switzerland, so, you know, he. It was actually when before the game is like, well, they better win, so.
Bobby
Well, I hope you guys have an awesome time. I really appreciate the call, and it's gonna be a really cool. I won't say core memory, because he's 17 now, so now you kind of get to pick your cool memories, but that's a really cool memory that you get to make with your sign. So. Yeah, I hope you guys have our fire alarm going off.
Caller
Brett.
Bobby
Right now.
Theo Henderson
So work.
Bobby
I don't know. Do you guys see. I don't know.
Guest/Listener
Yeah, people.
M
That's what it was. I was like, I hear someone talking.
Bobby
The lights are flashing. I hate to cut bread off, but then. Hey, Ray, what are they saying? Like, what are the humans saying?
Brett
Yeah.
Bobby
Nothing from the humans. It's just that recorded voice saying, there is a fire. Please proceed to the nearest stairwell. Okay, Brett, I gotta let you go because we got a fire alarm going off here. Hope you guys have an awesome time, and hopefully I'll talk to you again soon. Have a safe trip. Okay, Brett.
Brett
All right.
Theo Henderson
All right.
Brett
Thank you.
Bobby
Our fire alarms went off, so we're gonna go ahead and cut this.
Guest/Listener
Good idea.
Bobby
If it's not real, don't go too far.
Guest/Listener
Let's all stay together, Right?
Bobby
We're not taking hours and hours like the last time.
Amy
Where are you going to go? Your office?
Guest/Listener
No, no, you should leave the building. You shouldn't stay in the building.
Bobby
Last time this happened, they kept you guys out for hours.
M
Oh, my God. I was so miserable.
Guest/Listener
Not me. I snuck back in with the firefighters.
Bobby
You bring a suit just for these instances, and you put it on. All right, that's. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. Some fireworks were shot, and they landed in a garbage can. And then that started a big fire, and then two homes caught on fire. So a guy sees this. His name's Wesley Howard. So he wakes up and Immediately runs outside with a garden hose to start spraying water on these fires because they spread through a fence, through the homes. And so he jumped up so quickly that he didn't have any clothes on.
Amy
Oh, oh. So he did all this in the nude, huh?
M
You don't got time to put clothes on.
Guest/Listener
You do have.
Amy
No, that's fine.
Theo Henderson
No, you don't.
Bobby
You know what, It's a decision you make right then.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
I'm not gonna judge the guy.
Amy
No.
Bobby
It's not like there were kids around. It's middle of the night.
Amy
No, no, I'm not worried about kids seeing him. I just am like, wow, would I stop to put pants on?
Bobby
I probably would grab a pair of shorts because I keep a pair of shorts near the bed. However, I may not have. It's a decision that I've never had to make because there's never been a fire while I've been naked. But he burned his toes, luckily.
Amy
Did he burn anything else?
Raiders of the Lost Podcast Host
No.
Bobby
Following the incident, he's now encouraging others to make sure their fireworks are completely extinguished to help prevent similar fires.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
Good for him. I like it. Dangerous. I like it. That's from Fox News. That's what it's all about. It's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good.
M
Jacob Almendinger is 21 years old from England. He has $13,000 in his bank account. Trying to save up to buy a house. They announce world cup in the United States in Mexico. And he looks his 80 year old grandpa in the eye and says, you know what, I'm spending all the money I got. We're going to the world cup to watch England. So he flies to America, goes to Mexico, watches England twice in person, spent all his money and people online loved the story so much. One company said, you know what, if England beats Panama by two goals, we're going to reimburse you for your whole trip. And they did it. And he woke up the next morning to $13,000 back in his bank account.
Amy
That's crazy.
Bobby
That's a weird. Hey, we'll do this if.
Amy
Yeah, surely if the, if they didn't reach the two goals, they'd be like, all right, just kidding. We're going to pay you.
Bobby
Was it DraftKings also, did the grandpa like soccer?
M
Oh, yeah, he loves soccer. He's a big soccer fan. And it was just like the 21 year old's like, man, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend time with my grandpa, do something really cool. He's 80 and he said. The best part is just the memories
Guest/Listener
we've made and 13,000 backs.
Bobby
That's two goals from England over Panama. All right, there you go. That's what it's all about.
Raiders of the Lost Podcast Host
That was.
Bobby
Tell me something good.
