      • "I'm not an expert in prison knowledge. But there are many private prisons and it's why a lot of them end up getting in trouble for treating the prisoners. Bad food, bad health care. Because they're trying to save money too. They're a business." —Bobby [18:45]

[B]

I loved that show. The agency is so good. And it basically was CIA. But also in England.

[A]

Yeah, with Richard Gere.

[B]

No. Yeah, he was not the main guy, but he was the boss.

[A]

Okay. I vaguely remember watching some of that.

[B]

Oh, so good. It's coming back. Season two, June 21st. Okay, that's mine. It's not a commercial. I just saw it in the news. Let me look at the ratings here, see if everybody else liked it too. People are stupid. 7.4 out of 10 IMDb stupid idiots. Hey, Stupid idiots. I loved that show. And that Michael Fassbender, great actor. So June 21st, it comes back let's see what else. What's it on Paramount plus.

[A]

I don't remember.

[B]

I thought it was a show by Taylor Sheridan. It's not.

[A]

No.

[D]

Are they in the mountains?

[B]

No. Cowboy hats. Rip's not in it.

[D]

Probably not.

[A]

Yeah. Fairmount plus. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. So that's mine. Is. The agency's coming back. I'm also excited because today the finale of the series finale of the Boys is happening. Don't snarl your nose.

[A]

Well, I just. That's good for you. I wrote down the agency because I want to go revisit that. I don't know where I am with

[B]

it, but you have to focus one of those.

[A]

That's fine. I can. I remember it being good, but now I got to. If it's coming back, that's motivating for me to watch it so I can enjoy season two, which I finally started to work through. Your Friends and Neighbors.

[B]

Which season?

[A]

The latest one.

[D]

Season two.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I loved season one, but I was waiting for season two to build up a little bit and so I finally started.

[D]

Slow start for me.

[B]

Slower.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Like it. It's moved though. I like. I like where we are now.

[D]

I think I'm getting there. But because the concept of the show's so good, I love it that I know it's gotta get better. So I'm sticking with it.

[A]

You think that really happens?

[D]

Huh?

[B]

What part?

[A]

Rich friends. Stealing from rich friends.

[B]

Kinda, yes. I don't know about the whole. My whole career now is gonna be like a cat burglar in the middle of the night. Rich friends.

[A]

Yeah. It doesn't have to look exactly like that, but just, you know, probably.

[B]

It's also interesting in that show. Cause there's a guy, he's rich, hard times. So he has to figure out how to make money. So he figures out he can just go steal from his rich friends. There's just not enough alarms on for me.

[D]

That's what I'm saying. Like with the cameras. Like there's. It's so weird how he has so

[B]

much access and I get it. Like, it's like it's a protected neighborhood. Right. There are gates and.

[A]

But still, I know, like, I. You have a gate. I couldn't come to your house without you knowing.

[D]

Like, there's no way those houses.

[A]

We should try. Eddie, let's try to break in a second.

[D]

No, I'm good one.

[A]

It wouldn't work.

[B]

A lot of alarms. No, I'm saying there are gates into the neighborhood. So they probably feel safe enough to. Where they don't have to always put every alarm on.

[A]

Yeah. Like maybe there's also a guard.

[B]

Yeah. I would assume in that rich neighborhood. But it's not enough alarms for me. I have to suspend.

[A]

But even neighborhoods with guards, like hop a fence, wherever the guards, the guards.

[F]

Not that hard.

[B]

How are you gonna get out over the fence if you have a bunch of stuff?

[A]

I also think about the guards. Like, you could just roll up and taser them.

[B]

Yeah. But then you have a limited time, and they're gonna wake up the guards,

[D]

never checking who's leaving. Like, they're always wondering who's coming.

[B]

If you're on foot, though, they're gonna check. And you're holding a bunch of bags of stuff you just stole.

[D]

Good call.

[F]

You probably steal the car from the house, right?

[B]

No, you don't steal the car. Oh, you don't? No. You. You don't want to be seen. The whole point of that show is people don't even know what's stolen from them because they have so much stuff.

[A]

Yeah. Like, they have so many nice watches that they might not notice that one of them is missing until they go to maybe wear that specific one. I saw that somewhere. Speaking of watches, it's not like the Rolex is sort of. You know, just growing up, we always heard like, oh, Rolex is a static thing. And it is still in my mind, but with watch people. It's a Patek whatever.

[B]

Like a

[A]

Patek Philippe or something.

[B]

It's a different. But it's also. That's a different class.

[D]

Oh, yeah. I've learned that. I know nothing about expensive things.

[A]

I know. I don't know why this popped up in my thing, but it was just talking. Talking about, oh, you think the Rolex is this. No. If in the watch world, it's a Patek Philippe.

[B]

Yeah. But that could also be dominated, too, by another couple brands. That's just probably a Patek Philippe commercial account. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But it's like someone going, oh, you think a Ferrari is good? Try Maserati. Is Maserati better than bigger than Ferrari?

[D]

I think so.

[A]

Really?

[B]

I don't know. He drives a Maserati. He drives a Maserati in the show. That's why I thought about that.

[A]

I feel like Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari, I don't think I can name anymore. Those are all in the same class to me.

[D]

What's the one? The one with the B. Ferrari is

[B]

generally considered better for raw performance. A. Bugattis are different, I guess.

[A]

Bugatti's.

[B]

Yeah. And Rolls Royce is different than. Than even Bentley because Bentley's high. Rolls Royce is higher.

[A]

I feel like if you have a Rolls Royce, you have a driver.

[D]

You should. And you should be in England.

[A]

What has a little. Is a Rolls Royce. What's the little thing that sticks off

[D]

the hood guy that's flying, right? Or like a.

[B]

No, the. The flying things a bit. Is it a ram, flying V or flying B or whatever? Yeah, the Rolls Royce has one that comes up as well. I think I saw an rr. I believe it could be an animal. I don't know, Mike. Is it an rr? I. I'm. It is something. It's an angel.

[D]

Angel.

[B]

Flying lady. There's rr. And then on top of it is like a angel.

[A]

Okay. I don't know what brand of car it is that looks just like a Bentley, but it's like normal car. Normal people car, you know?

[B]

Do you know I haven't a Genesis. Both Mike D. And I have confused Genesis for a Bentley.

[A]

I'm like, do you think Bentley's like, oh, thanks a lot for ripping us off? Because you could get one of those. And people are going to straight up think you're driving a Bentley until you

[D]

really look at it.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

But at first glance, I'm like, whoa.

[D]

So you're banking on the first glance and then being like, all right, cool, it's a Bentley.

[A]

I mean, it's still a nice car.

[B]

A lot of times I thought a Genesis was. Was the Bentley. I was like, dang.

[A]

Oh, is that the branded as Genesis?

[B]

Yeah, we were taking pictures of it. Yeah, we're taking that page of it. Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

But what would you guys think of me if I, like, you know, brought a Genesis and I was like, check out my new.

[A]

That would be fine.

[D]

I know that. But if I was trying to pull it off like a Bentley, like, well,

[B]

it would have been funny in our garage when I had a Bentley and you pulled up beside it. Genesis. Right, right, right. Yeah, that was mine. It's the Agency, season two. And then today I get to watch the boys. I did watch an episode last night. I think we're on episode four five of eight of from this season. You guys don't watch from but nope, it's getting a little bit horary and I don't mind it. I just. I need the apocalypse part to be bigger than the horror part. And I'm good. But it's a really great show. My wife said to me last night, while we're watching it, are we the only ones watching this show? And I said, we can't be the only ones because the reviews are so good, but I don't think that a large part of the population is watching from my daughter.

[A]

So one, two, three people we know.

[B]

Well, Mike started it. Yeah. And then they pay walled it again. Season one was free for a minute, and then it's now you got to pay for it. So you didn't finish season one? No, I got, like, three episodes in, but it was good. They Dick Trickled. You race car driver, he got dick trickled.

[A]

What's that?

[B]

When they just trickle stuff out and you follow it.

[A]

I know, but why is it called dick Trickled?

[B]

Well, he was a race car driver that did what?

[A]

Drove in a trickle fashion. It's just his last name.

[B]

His name's Dick Trickle.

[A]

Got it.

[D]

And in Days of Thunder, it's Cold Trickle.

[B]

It is.

[D]

Yeah. He probably drives the same car, maybe. For sure.

[B]

Dick Trickle had to exist when they named Cold Trickle Cold Trickle, right?

[D]

I think so.

[B]

It had to be like a homage.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

All right, Amy, what do you have?

[A]

So I've officially been reviewing this toothbrush that I ordered. This also popped up in my feed, and I was like, man, they're selling. This is like, this is the best toothbrush ever. And I was in need of a new one. Like, it was time for me to get a replacement. My other one, the battery, I have electric toothbrush, and the battery was just dying all the time. So I decided to give this one an order. And it comes with this little thing you put on your mirror that's a magnet where you can put. Instead of having to put your toothbrush down on the counter, it just. It's real sleek, and it up on the mirror, and you barely even notice that it's there. And I gotta say, after a week, like, thank you for giving me this ad. I saw the ad enough, and it wasn't like an influencer through an ad. It was like the actual company, like, running things. Like, when I would go through my feed, two men talking about the science behind the toothbrush. I finally saw it enough, and I ordered it and I reviewed it. And my teeth, they feel cleaner. I feel like I'm getting, like, the best brush ever. But really, my favorite part is, like, the magnet. Like, who knew? But that was part of their thinking. They thought of all the annoying things that they've had in their electric toothbrush, and they tried to make a change and modify it to make it less annoying. I don't even know the name of the brand.

[D]

Does the magnet charge the toothbrush, Sure.

[A]

I could check my email to get the order number.

[D]

But does what the magnet. Does it charge the.

[A]

It does not. It comes with a really sleek, tiny.

[B]

That's a question. How would a magnet charge a toothbrush?

[D]

I don't know if it's connected or whatever, you know, and then you just put that in the mirror and then you also.

[B]

The charger. Do you think the charger. Okay, I just thought. You thought magnets had the ability to

[A]

charge the stick on mirror thing. Magnet is for convenience when it's charged. Now you do have to bust out this tiny little sleek charger when it is time charged, but holds a charge for like ever. I've only had to charge it the first time I got it and then now it's been living on the magnet.

[D]

Dude, I feel like, you know, I've never worked in this industry, but I feel like those boardrooms where people are like, all right, here's a toothbrush. And then everyone has questions, like, does the magnet charge the. Like, I've always wanted to be in that scenario in that boardroom.

[B]

So you want to be. Then the poke holes.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Or the.

[B]

Yeah, the poke holes, though. You got to be like above it.

[A]

You want to be part of the innovation team.

[B]

Yeah. Like, you gotta be. Don't take this the wrong way.

[D]

What?

[B]

Like innovative, really smart and accomplished in that area that's not down and poke holes. Yeah. They're not gonna bring people out the street to poke holes in.

[D]

You ever seen big?

[B]

Okay. But you could be in a group that they bring in and they look at you the double side of the mirror and they're like, use this toothbrush. And you're like, what shot going in my mouth?

[D]

Right. I just feel like a toothbrush is such a everyday person thing that like anybody could do that.

[A]

Well, these guys did it.

[D]

So does the toothbrush circle? How does it brush?

[A]

But it looks like. So normal electric toothbrushes are like round and tiny, you know, and it's like this looks like a normal toothbrush that's a got the longer, wider. You know what I mean? You know what I'm talking about? But it still vibrates. It's like. And it just gives the best toothbrush, the best clean that I've had.

[B]

You know who makes great products is Dyson.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

They are scientifically so advanced with floor cleaners, with hair products, fans. They're.

[A]

And I'm not sure now terrifiers.

[B]

I'm not sure. Yes. I'm not sure at this point now what their main product is because they do scientifically such elevated work on a hair thing has nothing to do with the purifier. Has nothing to do with a. We have like a vacuum. It's. They make the best.

[A]

I feel like. Did they start with vacuums? And then they're like. Because even they're. You got me the. The hair wand they have. Which is blowing air.

[B]

It's like the vacuum cleaner Star Mike

[A]

said, which is like similar vacuum is sucking air. Like, they're really good with air.

[B]

They do hair care. They do air purifiers. They do bladeless fans and heaters. I'm telling you, that's the company. It's expensive hair straighteners. Yeah. Yeah. Dyson A plus. It's funny that it was quantity that got you though, to buy that quantity of ads. Like, you had seen it so many times. And finally, for some reason, you stayed on it a little bit longer and

[A]

thought, well, yeah, the. The last time I saw the ad hit me at a right time where I had the attention span to click through and then order.

[B]

Dyson is a privately held company. Whoa. 100% owned by its founder, Sir James Dyson. It does not trade in markets. There is no official market capitalization.

[D]

He's a sir. He's knighted.

[B]

I don't know. Mr. Dyson or Sir Dyson. So it says Sir James Dyson, but I'm not sure. Some people. I met a guy whose real first name was Dr. Once.

[D]

His real name was Dr. No.

[A]

Like his first name.

[B]

Yeah. So you call him, like, Dr. Wilson. Everybody thinks he's a doctor.

[D]

Stop. That's so unfair. So is that, like, birth name? Like, the parents thought of this.

[B]

His name was Doctor.

[D]

That's funny.

[B]

Yeah. This guy was knighted. He is an inventor and entrepreneur. He was knighted in 2007. He became Sir James Dyson.

[A]

[C]

How do we actually come up with the name hey Jonas? Guys, I honestly don't remember.

[F]

I think it was on a call

[C]

about what we should call it and, well, we were thinking. I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes, I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing a

[B]

bit for the podcast where people could

[C]

call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad hey Jonas. And offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that.

Where does your group. We do some retirement homes.

[H]

Those people are starving for banter. Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[D]

Wow, he's a baller.

[B]

I think the doctor guy that I met started prisons.

[D]

How do you get into prisons? I thought, like the government.

[B]

No, a lot of private.

[F]

They're for profit, man.

[B]

A lot of them are private and for profit. And it's why they get such bad treatment sometimes in prisons. They're just trying to save money, like some are.

[A]

Oh, that. This is blowing my mind too. I assumed they were government.

[D]

Are they owned privately?

[A]

Federal? Yes, federal prison is.

[B]

We have to differentiate because I'm not an expert in prison knowledge. But there are many private prisons and it's why a lot of them end up getting in trouble for treating the prisoners. Bad food, bad health care. Because they're trying to save money too. They're a business.

[D]

I didn't realize that. I'm shocked.

[B]

For profit prisons generate revenue by contracting with federal and state governments to house inmates. They make money through taxpayer funded per diem rates. So the government's paying them, but they're doing the work. It's a private prison.

[D]

So when someone gets sentenced, do they kind of decide like, all right, which one do we want them to go

[B]

to Again, not an expert here, but it just depends where you live too.

[D]

Yeah. What's regional?

[F]

What?

[B]

Yeah, I don't know. There could be private prisons. There could be government prisons.

[D]

I did not know this.

[B]

So it's private prisons are also paid by tax money, but. But it's a private organization. Who does the most? Or they. They get the most money they can and do kind of the least they can because it's a private business.

[A]

So do the fancier prisons, they get more money like. Like, like Martha Stewart?

[B]

I don't know the answer to that. But they also can make more money by making the prisoners do labor as well.

[D]

Oh, and then they get money for that.

[A]

Like make school tables and they charge

[B]

inmates and their families, you know, for snacks for all these different things. Yeah, it's a for profit business. So I think the guy was a doctor who was. Will you look up a man named Doctor? Yeah.

[D]

Didn't get anything.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

What was the spelling? Doctor or doctor?

[B]

It wasn't doctor.

[F]

It wasn't tr.

[A]

Or maybe they did a little different. They were like, doc, you guys act like this is normal doctor, Right?

[D]

Like Victor.

[B]

And maybe, maybe it wasn't. I feel like I met this guy and his real name was doctor.

[A]

But you, like actually met him.

[B]

Honestly, if you want another real story, I went and looked in his house, but I thought about buying his house once and I didn't

[A]

okay.

[B]

And his name was Dr. I'm pretty sure is.

[A]

And he started prisons, I feel like that.

[B]

But I don't know.

[A]

That freaked me out. Like he might.

[B]

It's just hard to Google anything about Dr. Because then it just brings up doctors and then it's like the prison doctor. Yeah, but his first name was Doctor. Let me ask my. Let me go to AI over here. It's tough for AI to do regional. You'll see. Hey, I'm looking for a guy, if you can help me track him down. His first name is Doctor. He's not a doctor. His first name is Doctor And I believe he lives in the Tennessee Nashville area. And I believe he started some prisons. Does that ring a bell? That definitely stands out. Having a first name like Doctor is pretty unique. I'm not aware of any.

[F]

Anyone.

[B]

All right, well, I also can't track down. Oh yeah, probably it'd be illegal.

[A]

Yeah, that'd be kind of weird if they could help you.

[D]

Like, he's located two miles from you right now.

[B]

We found him.

[D]

I found one. His name is Dr. R. Krantz.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

He says he co founded the private prison company Corrections Corporation of America in Nashville, Tennessee. That's him.

[B]

There you go.

[D]

Good job.

[B]

Get you on that search. AI versus AI.

[D]

Scuba versus AI.

[F]

The human wins.

[D]

Love it. Guaranteed.

[B]

Oh, my whole point was his name was Doctor. Yeah, no, it's pretty crazy. His parents named Doctor that's crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay, tell me something good, eddie.

[D]

So my 7 year old came to me like last week and was like, I got a flat tire on my.

[B]

He just died. He died February 22, 2026.

[A]

Doctor did at the age of 81.

[B]

The age of 81. He literally just died.

[F]

Oh, no.

[B]

Dang. Yeah.

[A]

What's that house? Send me the link.

[B]

It was. This is years ago.

[D]

Is that why you were buying the house? Is that why it's for sale?

[A]

Did it have a little prison in.

[D]

Has a cell in there. That'd be cool. Dude, I would love that. Put my kids in a cell for like five minutes. Get in the cell.

[B]

All right, Eddie, I'm sorry.

[D]

Go ahead. Okay. So my 7 year old came to me, said he got a flat tire in his motorcycle. Bike or whatever in the back. Turns out he was hitting the brakes really hard and it skinned all the rubber off the back so it popped the back tire. So I got on online, I ordered an extra tire, dude, I got it and I looked at it. I'm like, I'm not gonna be able to do this. Like this is impossible. I had to take the chain out off. I had to take some of the battery part off to take because it was the. Is the rear tire. It took me about 45 minutes, maybe an hour. And I redid the chain. I got all the screws back to where they were supposed to be, and I changed the tire all by myself.

[B]

Look at you, Mr.

[D]

Fix It. I was so impressed because it was mostly because my son was looking at me and he's like, oh, dad's not gonna be able to do this. And I was like, no, no. I cannot let him think that I'm not going to be able to fix this. And once I did it, he was like, wow, dad, you actually did it.

[B]

Were you worried that it wouldn't stay fixed?

[D]

I did. So when I did the trial run, I'm like, why don't you go.

[B]

You run behind him real close.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Just in case the chain popped out or something.

[B]

That's cool.

[D]

But it was really cool and it got done.

[B]

And you can fix stuff, though, generally.

[D]

Yeah, man. But it was one of those things, you know how, like, when you take something apart and you think you're gonna remember where everything went and then once it's time to put it all back, you're like, I don't remember where all this stuff went.

[B]

And then also why there are two extra pieces. That's a good one. Lunchbox.

[F]

Tonight is the night, guys. Season 50 A Survivor comes to an end. We are at the finale of the biggest season ever and someone's going to win and it's going to be amazing.

[B]

Why is it the biggest?

[F]

Because they brought back players from the last 49 seasons. Like, they went through all 49 seasons. Like, give us the biggest.

[B]

Are there really old people on it? Because if, let's say 48 seasons ago you were 30.

[F]

Yeah. They had like 60 year olds.

[B]

Okay. But also, I guess they're doing more than one season a year.

[F]

Yeah, they do maybe two a year.

[B]

Fall and spring is when they feel like 48 years. Great point. I'm an idiot. Go ahead.

[F]

Yeah. And so. And they didn't get someone from every season, which would have been really cool to do that. But it's been a great season. Some of the twists, celebrities being in there, kind of annoying, but it's been really good. And tonight it's three hours and I cannot freaking wait.

[B]

Three hours?

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

I see a movie, that's three hours. I'm probably going to punt.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

I mean, so it's really about two hours and 15 minutes because I mean, it probably 45 minutes. That is commercials, right?

[B]

Yeah, but you're still sitting there through it, is the point.

[F]

Well, my plan is to record like the first hour and then start watching it. So it's sort of. I catch up after an hour in I start and I can fast forward through the commercials.

[D]

Oh, the spurs playing tonight.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, that's tough.

[F]

Yeah, it's tough.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Just wondering how he's gonna do Central time zone. Damn it. And they're in Oklahoma City again, right?

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

So I guess they probably start, what,

[F]

7, 8, 7:30, I think.

[B]

I think I just try to get scammed by somebody right now. I think so. State of Tennessee official court compliant notice. Dear defendant, as an administrative matter concerning your motor vehicle has not been submitted. Blah, blah, blah. Here's court, you're required.

[D]

Is there a link?

[B]

Go to the official compliance portal, but it's tn.govrxg.cam ei this is for sure.

[D]

Hey, lunchbox, try that website real quick.

[F]

I'm good, man.

[B]

Tennessee court reply C to confirm receipt and proceed using the above portal. You know what? Screw off. So I'm saying.

[D]

Oh, I thought you were gonna say screw it. I'll do it.

[B]

Nah, they have to give. Gotta wake up pretty early in the morning to get me through a text message. Morgan.

[I]

Yeah, so there's a development in my cat's friend that's been showing up. So last couple of weeks there's been this other cat that's been hanging out around the house. Like they'll. They'll be friends through the concealed deck kind of fenced thing, if you will. And now the cat has brought another friend. And I don't know if it's her baby or if it's a new mate, but they have similar coloring. And so now I have like kind of a cat situation just happening in my whole yard. And I'm really excited to see where it's going to go, though.

[B]

What's the best case scenario that maybe

[I]

I can help the cats get adopted, like trap and release them or get them adopted if they're super friendly. It's hard to tell with strays and ferals because feral cats sometimes don't want to be inside. And if that's the case, then trap and release is kind of the best case scenario. But if they do, which one of the. The new cat was trying to come inside really heavy, like would try and sneak every time I open the door. And if it does, then at that point I try and get it adopted if I could.

[B]

So.

[A]

So couldn't be. It's not coming from like a neighbor's house.

[I]

It could, it's hard to tell. We have, we have quite a big feral cat colony in my neighborhood. So I think they're just kind of all producing cats. Produce wildly. Like there can be kittens over a couple weeks and then there's more. So I'm not exactly sure where they're coming from, but potentially a baby, potentially a mate. Good luck just creating a little cat colony at my house.

[B]

Good luck. All right, There you go. That's what it's all about. Thank you. It's time for the good news with lunchbox.

[F]

This 33 year old dude in Ohio is out in the front yard with his dad helping chop down some trees, when all of a sudden he sees an SUV careening through 1, 2, 3 yards into a pond. And he's like, oh, no. And he runs over there. It's a mom, daughter, mom is driving unconscious in the front seat. He pulls her out, gets her to the shore. Then he climbs over the back seat. The water is rising above the child's chest, unbuckles her out of the car seat and pulls her to safety.

[D]

Amazing.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Just seeing that would be crazy. You're like, oh, I wonder if they're. Oh, they're probably drunk. Oh, there's probably a medical episode. Oh, because he said careening something and it's crazy. He doesn't use that word.

[F]

It says it in here. So what happened is they had picked up food at a restaurant and she said she felt nauseous. And I guess she goes, I was driving and I didn't realize. I just passed out.

[D]

Dang.

[B]

Right into the pond.

[A]

What was she having? Well, I wonder what it was.

[D]

What, the food was.

[A]

Well, no, not to eat. Like, was it a heart attack to keto?

[D]

Definitely will do.

[F]

The food was not safe.

[B]

Oh, you're thinking, what does she like have wrong with her?

[A]

Well, I don't know. I saw this thing about how women have totally different symptoms than men when it comes to a heart attack. And I always thought, I didn't know that. I thought, oh, chest pain, pain in the arm, heart attack. No, that's just for a man. That's not what happens to women.

[B]

What, what happens to you guys?

[A]

Well, that's where the video cut out.

[B]

Hungry toe hurts.

[D]

The video ended.

[A]

The video.

[B]

You didn't go to part two.

[A]

And I never, I never went to look it up. And so now I'm like, shoot, I don't know.

[B]

It says shortness of breath, nausea, extreme

[D]

fatigue, nothing on the left arm.

[A]

Oh, that's a heart attack for a woman. Okay. See, nothing. Yeah, nothing about an arm. It's because our then I.

[B]

If I were a woman, I'd be having a heart attack every day with those symptoms. That car that was in the. When the water, it's completely submerged by the time I'm looking at it now, like deep, deep pond. That's crazy. All right, that is a good story. That is what it's all about. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie. Damn, it's something good.

[D]

There's a little league baseball game going on in Blossom Valley, California. 12 year old boys and they're playing, they're in the third inning. It's a great game. And the lights go out in the stadium. It's completely dark. Parents are like, oh my gosh, what are we going to do? Like, this is a championship game. This is going to be postponed for the next month. We don't know what to do. Fire trucks show up because they want to make sure the people are safe and they find out that this is a championship game. So they say, you know what, the electrical company is going to take forever to get out here. I got a truck. The fire captain comes out, brings the truck with an LED light, lights up the whole stadium flavor.

[B]

One light lit up the whole stadium?

[D]

Yeah, I said it was a 15 foot LED light tower that lit up the whole stadium.

[B]

Oh, it's coming off the fire truck. Yeah, it like lifts up. If we lost that game, I'm still going to asterisk.

[D]

Yeah, well that's the fire.

[B]

Yeah, I mean it was a fire truck game. The lights went out. If we win though, that's a real championship. Yeah, and we won that. We were playing the same conditions as the other team, but yeah, I'm gonna protest that. That's pretty cool though.

[C]

How old?

[D]

They said 12 year old boys.

[B]

Nah, it's old enough to protest.

[D]

Yeah, man.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. That's a good story though. Good for them. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good.

[A]

This is an I heart podcast.

[B]

Guaranteed human.
