Listen to Questlove supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Here we go. Come on, Bobby. Transmitting across America. Welcome to Tuesday's show, Morning Studio. Morning. The story about Benedict Cumberb the actor. Mike. Why do I know him? He's a marvel. Dr. Dr. Strange. Got it. He's also Sherlock and Sherlock Holmes. I like him. Can everybody picture Benedict Cumberbatch? Yes. He was talking in an interview in Variety when he was kidnapped while filming a miniseries in 2004. According to the article, Benedict Cumberbatch, 48, now, was driving home from a driving excursion with some friends and a tire blew out. The group pulled over to the side of the road because they had a flat tire. They were robbed and then abducted by six men. Whoa, dude, that's crazy. The thieves drove Cumberbatch and his pals around for hours. They tied them up. They made them sit execution style in a chair. No way. The thieves decided to spare Cumberbatch and his friends. They fled the scene from him. Quote, it gave me a sense of time, but not necessarily a good one. It made me impatient to live a less ordinary life. I'm still dealing with that impatience. The near death stuff, Turbo fueled all that. It made me go, oh, yeah, right. I could die at any moment. So then after that, he said he was, like, jumping out of planes, taking all sorts of risks. And again from Variety in the New York Post, dude got abducted, tied up. Like, sat in a chair with the hands tied behind the chair, where you're just, like, waiting for somebody to. I just had to Google that because I didn't know what sitting in a chair execution style meant. I'm assuming that's what it meant and that what it showed. Well, yeah, it's just like you're in a chair, restrained, like, sitting straight up. And I picture a bag over the head. Yeah, that's what I picture too. Yeah. And hands tied behind your back somewhere. That's great. Or tied to the chair. I'd have such trauma. Yes. I mean, I got jumped in the middle of the night. Well, early, early morning at work. I had a gun put to my head outside of a station event. Crazy trauma, but I was never taken somewhere. So just different Trump. But that's. Was he famous than Mike at all? 2004. Is that before he had any fame at all? A little bit before he got famous, yeah. If I abduct somebody named Benedict Cumberbatch, I'm assuming, though, he's got, like, royal family members are gonna hunt me down. What's your name? Benedict Cumberbatch. Is that really your name? Benedict Cumberbatch? Like, somebody's gonna come for me, but. Yeah, that's a wild story. Another wild story. I just hit my scratch off. I scratched it. I got the jumbo times five. I'm trying to win $1,000 and I got $20 times five on this $50 ticket. It's pretty good. So it'll Buy me an extra ticket so I'll get my money for this ticket. I'll just buy two more tickets. I'm trying to hit 1,000 bucks. It's my New Year's resolution. Some people make resolutions. They want to be healthier, spend more time with the family. I want to hit a scratch off over a thousand to drive Lunchbox crazy. That's basically it. I had a 200 win, though. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, a little annoying, but I think I'm at about even right now because I've hit a 200, I've hit a free ticket, I've lost a few. I think I'm at about even right now. Are you getting them all from the same place or are you mixing it up? I'm getting them from across the street. I forget about them and Abby goes across the street and buys those tickets from over there. Can we look up and see if how many of these are still left? Like big winners? Yeah. This is the Jumbo Bucks 500k lottery. Because they tell you of, but don't lie. No, I would never do that. Yes, you would. Why would I do that? I. I'm not. I'm not rude, man, I would love to hit this five thousand dollar burst symbol. It's on the app somewhere. I'm pulling it up right now. I can tell you in a second. I'm pulling it up. It's Jumbo Bucks 500x50. Yeah. Game number. Oh, you want a game number? Oh, yeah, yeah. Where do I know that? Should be on the back. I see a bunch of numbers, but the last three numbers are 009. It's like a pound sign hashtag. Yeah, either one, I'm old. I don't see a. What is it? Just name it, name it, name it. Jumbo Bucks 500x009. Where am I missing a number here? Do you want to look at this? Oh, nine looks like the number, but I don't see it. Because if you go on the website, it'll tell you the remaining prizes for each of them. Yeah. What if Abby is like scamming me and that's why we can't find it? She has created a scratch off where I don't win and she just makes money for a whole year. Huh. Well, anyway, I hit that. But Lunchbox, we don't. We can't. We can't see it. I don't know. I'm trying to find it. Oh, here we go. Hold on. No, that's a serial numbers man. What if I hit that'd be amazing. That'd be so cool. If I hit over $50,000, I'll share it with you guys. Really? What? I'll give you guys, all of us remaining prizes. Here we go. Like, did you find this one? Tell me the name it you gotta see. You gotta give me the number. There's so many out here. Millionaire. Millionaire. Jumbo Bucks. Jumbo Bucks. I don't know. Just hand him this ticket. Give me the ticket and I'll tell you the number. Hey, bro. Jumbo bucks, 500 lunchbox. Just put his hand right, and he wonders how we all get sick. That's it right there. Oh, that's funny. Sorry, Morgan. I don't see a number. That's why I think Abby's in. Oh, it's number 1256. This is 1, 2, 5, 6. Okay. Yeah, they're all 1, 2, 5, 6. Yeah. Okay, but we don't see that on this, on the page, do we? Okay, got it. 1, 2, 5, 6. There's two $5 million winners and one $50,000 winner still left. Yeah. So the two $5 million winners are still out there. Still out there, man. Does it tell you how many have not been returned in. Is there anything like. No, I don't have that. They want you to know that. Yeah, they do not want you to know that. And then the other one. I don't need another one. That's it. Okay. That's the one I'm playing. Okay. What was the other one you're talking about different dollar amount. Well, no, the other $50 ticket. I'm trying to look up to see how many winners are left on that, to see if that's better odds for you, buddy. I don't have any of those, though. Buddy, buddy, buddy. These are all this one. Okay, I'm good, though. How many do I have? Unscratched. 1, 2, 3, 4. Unscratched. And the lunchbox has that one. Don't let him. He'll steal that one. No, I don't think we scratched. Oh, that's the winner. That's the winner. Yeah, take that back. Okay, so I hit. We're feeling pretty good. Thank you, guys. We got a good show. Someone on the show wants to spill the tea. Here we go. Let's spill the tea. Usually it's just tattling, but this is hidden tattling, where someone has used the voice changer because they don't want to be implicated. All right, hit the clip. Ray, Lunchbox needs a new barber. He needs to fire his old one because his Hair is a mess. I guess he looks like he got a haircut recently, but the barber missed some hairs. There's hair sticking up in the back. Hair sticking up on the side. I mean, for sure, the barber was in a hurry. Didn't give a crap about lunchboxes here. He used to fire his barber. Okay. Had that been brought up by whomever that was? Don't know. Yeah. Can we see it? Can you take your headphones off? What's wrong with it? Well, I don't know. It looks good right now. He's got headphone hair. Yeah, yeah, but it's kind of longer. In a short spot, it looks like. But again, the back kind of just looks. Yeah, yeah. Maybe it's just like, hot. Where. Where. Where do you get your haircut? The barber shop down the street. Same person every time? No, just random. Whoever's first available. Same barber every. I mean, same shop, though. Every time. Oh, if they're not. If. I mean, same. Yeah, like building. Yeah. Every time. Yeah, pretty much. I don't know if he's just agreeing with you or what. He's just saying, like, if they're open, that's where he goes. And it's a different person. It was different person every time. And what's funny is there were so many people that gave me compliments on my hair this week. So, I mean, maybe I have beanie hair right now. Headphone hair. I don't know. But what? Give us an example of a compliment, man. Whoever did your hair looks really good. Your hair looks good. Looking sharp. I can haircut. Looks like you got a haircut. I don't know about that. Why? You hang around people that say something looks fly. Yeah. Yeah. So I think it looks fine. I mean, I didn't notice anything. I didn't think anything of it. I didn't know. I now can see like some. I'm sure you didn't. Who do you. Who do you think that was? Obviously thinks it's Eddie. Why you think that was Eddie? Yeah. Mr. Baldy. He's just jealous I have hair. Do you? I would say nothing because I don't want to throw anything. But you think because of the voice you heard or just because he's bald? Just because he's bald. Yeah, but Scuba Steve's bald. That's true. Raymondo had to go get owned his bald for years and he's still coming into realization he's bald. No, I think your hair looks fine. I think it does too. I think when somebody gets a haircut, though, you feel the Pressure to just say something about it. We talked about this, where if somebody gets a. Like a drastic haircut, you have to mention it. So is that why someone might be like, your hair looks fly? I don't think anybody ever said, your hair looks fly. Oh, man. I'm telling you, I got nothing. It doesn't. Numerous compliments, but I don't think he hangs around people that would say, dog, hair looks fly. Yeah. So you think that person is wrong? And why would they be jealous of me and my hair? The ability to grow it, shape it. So you're for sure somebody bald? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So either me or Scuba then, I guess. Right. You're the only one that really is insecure about your baldness. Would you like to hear it again to see if you can nail that voice? Sure. Okay. Go ahead. Lunchbox needs a new barber. He needs to fire his old one because his hair is a mess. I guess he looks like he got a haircut recently, but the barber missed some hairs. There's hair sticking up in the back, hairs sticking up on the side. I mean, for sure, the barber was in a hurry. Didn't give a crap about lunchboxes here. He used to fire his barber. Okay, I hear the cadence. It's Eddie. It's Eddie. Oh, it's me. It's Eddie. The cadence. Y'all don't know that 100%. I hear it now. Like, whoever that is is talking way too slow. I don't talk that slow. Well, that's because. No, no, that's. Your new thing was you were going to slow it down. You were going to slow talk. It is slow down to fast. But even the way you just said. No, I don't talk that way. You have this cadence about you. I get that it's slowed down, but it's still there. I don't want to throw anyone under the bus, but it's Eddie. But does anyone want to admit that was them now? No. Okay. Broke arm, bald Eddie. You don't even know if it's me going after you. Dang. Okay. Do you take offense to that? Are you gonna. No. I really don't give a crap. My hair looks good, right? Anything you want to say about Eddie? Guess what. It will grow back. Eddie's won't. The fact that it may not even be Eddie. Hilarious. Bobby. Don't you think? It's Eddie. I know he knows it's Eddie. I do know he knows it's Eddie. I'm not going to say it. He's not going to do it because it's anonymous. It's anonymous. I. I want people to have the luxury and the power to feel like they can be protected at all times. So I'm going protect that. Okay. I think your hair looks good, though. Lunchbox. I think it looks fly. I've been told that. I don't think I've ever once used the voice changer. That's not you. You don't throw people under the bus. You don't spill tea. I know, but I'm like, do I need to get in on this? It's every time that someone does it, I'm like, God, this sounds fun. If there's a secret you want to tell and be protected, get on the voice changer. It does sound fun, though. I wonder what that's like. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder. I'd eat. Okay, let's play this, everybody. You know, we had a moment here. Wait a moment. We had a group. Some growth here. Bald head, broken arm. Eddie, you took. You took some strays, possibly for no reason.

I started to live a double life when I was a teenager. Responsible and driven and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community and I made my way back this season. Join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to Crumbs as part of the Michael Lura Podcast Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the Anonymous Inbox. Anonymous Inbox. There's a question to be asked. Hello, Bobby Bones. I recently found out that my boyfriend of two years has been cheating on me with a married woman. I immediately broke it off with him and severed all ties. I hear from mutual friends that he's still with that woman. We live in a small town and from what I hear, her husband's a nice guy. He has no Idea what his wife's up to. They've only been married for about a year. I feel bad for him. Should I tell him his wife's cheating or stay out of it? Signed, small town drama. Generally speaking, stay out of the chili where you don't own the beans. Is that what we say? Or keep the spoon out of your chili or your friend's chili. Not your circus, not your monkeys. Yeah. Especially since you broke up with them. If you had some sort of relationship with the person that's being cheated on where the expectation was. I'm their friend. I need to tell them. I think you jump in now, you could spite them. Like the spite house. That's what I was talking about. Just for spite for the ex. You could go, let them know. But what if you're wrong? It kind of ain't your business. Then you're in some drama that you have nothing to do with. And you're like, the husband seems like a nice guy. Okay. You don't know what's going on. My advice would be, if it ain't your chili, don't put your spoon in there. Yeah, the. The chili. Something like that. Yeah. And then your chili pot. Let him live his life. You severed all ties. Good for you. It ain't your problem anymore. No monkeys in the circus if you don't have a trolley. Right? Something like that. Exactly. Don't get in drama that you don't have to be in. Drama sucks. So stay away. Abort. Over the end. All right, close it up. Amy, who's in the Super Bowl? The Eagles and the Chiefs. Who are you rooting for? The Eagles. Because? Because that's my psychic prediction. So if you win the super bowl, you get the Lombardi Trophy, which is cool. And everybody gets what? A ring. Okay. Did you know that the rings are not free? Let's pay for them. The cost per super bowl ring can run anywhere between 30,000 to $50,000. The New England Patriots cost 36. 5. The full set of rings can cost the team. Now the team first upward of $5 million. The NFL contributes $5,000 per ring, but players have to pay themselves to $11,000. About $11,000. And it's deducted from their paychecks. Well, that's not fair for. Well, I mean, I guess the quarterback is the star, so he makes more. But then. So you got a guy that maybe doesn't make as much and he still has to pay the same amount. So if you win the super bowl, you get a bonus, though, on your check that has nothing to do with the ring of $157,000. Okay, good. So of that 157, you can pay for that. They take the 11,000 out. Okay. There's a really crazy story about the super bowl ring, the Vladimir Putin story. This is one of the craziest ever. You heard this before? Yeah. Who did he take it from? Okay, so in 2005, the Patriots owner, Robert Kraft went to Russia because he wanted to, quote, stimulate commerce. It was basically a diplomatic thing. Let's go over and say, what up? And so he goes over and he takes his ring and he puts it on Putin's finger. And Putin said, I could kill someone with this ring. Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, extended his hand for Putin to give it back to him. And according to Kraft, Putin instead put the ring in his pocket, his own pocket, and just walked away. Later, the Bush administration allegedly instructed Kraft to say he gifted the ring to Putin, claiming that it would be in the country's best interest. Don't say that Putin stole something from you. Putin has denied stealing the ring. But you see, plain as day on the video, Robert Kraft goes, I'll take the ring back. And Putin goes, boom. Right into the pocket and walks out. That's pretty baller move. Keep a ring. I mean, that's how he rolls. Also, Putin would like murder you with some poison or something immediately. Did he really say, quote, I can kill someone? Yes, because it's so big. Yeah. I think that that's the first initial threat of like, I could kill someone with this ring. And it'll be you if you try to take it back. Oh, I didn't do that. I thought he was just saying it was so big. Yeah, but he stole it right in front of him. That's crazy. Put it right in his pocket and walked off. You ever see the stories about Putin and what he. You think our Secret Service and like our bulletproof cars watch like a TikTok on he travels like his. How bulletproof and how crazy that his entourage of cars is. Like, that dude is protected big time. Putin, he basically has like a. A bomb proof car that weighs seven tons. Whoa. Does it look normal, though? It doesn't look like a tank. It looks like almost a prom stretch limo, but one that would turn into a transformer and fight you. So, like, if it were to roll over a bomb, it's not going to explode. Oh, that's why it says it's bomb proof. I know, I get that. But I mean, I'm trying to like, it's not going to like, Fly in the air. How do you prevent something from. It can go 0 to 100 and it's massive in 6 seconds it has run flat bulletproof tires. It has armor to resist blast and sniper fire from any angle. It, it has extra large doors so trousers do not get dirty when exit in the vehicle. We all need that. Yeah, I like that it has camera windows. Now a lot of this stuff too. I'm sure that we have. But the bomb proof car, that's pretty sick. And tires that don't get flat. That's cool. Well we need those for on our car. Yeah, no kidding. Well done. Some cars have run run flats but only for a bit and you can't go over like 30 miles an hour. Putin probably go 100. Yeah, just chill out. But yeah, we never got the ring back. So there you go. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Walmart delivery driver in Springdale, Arkansas went way above and beyond to help a family in need. So Brooke had ordered heaters to keep her husband Charles warm because there were some issues at the house. Also, he's battling colon cancer and he's undergoing chemo. So the delivery driver, Eduardo Garcia, got his car stuck in a ditch. That's your name. That's my name. I know. He insisted on walking through the snow to make sure the heaters reached the family. So his car got stuck because the weather was bad. And even though that happened, he still grabbed him with both arms and walked all the way through. And so she tried to tip him. The delivery app doesn't allow tips. And he was like, nah, no tip. Just wanted to get this to you because I know you needed them. And so she posts a story on social media and then obviously it's all blowing up and people are jumping in to say that's super cool because he definitely didn't have to do that. And if my car was stuck in a ditch, I'm probably taking care of that first. Oh, that's from sunny Skies. Anyway, there you go. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. This Guy won over $20 million in the lottery and he's keeping it a secret from his family. 20 million secret. You have to hear this. It's from the Dave Ramsey show and people just call Dave and I just stole it from Tick Tock because I follow Dave Ramsey. I saw this on TikTok. This is crazy. Okay, listen to this. Go ahead. I won one of those multi state lottery drawings with a group of co workers. I haven't told anyone besides My wife. And besides one sibling, after taxes, it was about $22 million. Holy crap. Yeah. How old are you? It was a lot. About 50 years old. Okay, and so you haven't told anyone why? The first thing I did when. When I found out that A1 was, was research. And it said, you know that you read all those. One in five people lose their lottery winnings or go bankrupt within 10 years. And one of the things they all said was you tell too many people and you get too many people at your do asking for this, that, and the other thing, asking for handouts and expecting you to pay for everything. So my wife and I made a conscious decision just to kind of keep it under wraps. One over 20 million. Wow. Not telling anyone. So then how do you buy stuff without people going, where'd you get all this money? Now, lucky for him, he has a bit of a cover story. We haven't even told our two teenage children. And now, I know that sounds strange. We just don't want them to grow up to be waiters, you know, waiting for us to die. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not going to keep it from them forever, but like, you know, our parents and stuff, we haven't told any of them. We had another incident about a month after we won the lottery. My wife's great uncle passed away shortly thereafter, and he didn't have any kids and he was never married, and he left most of his inheritance to my wife and her siblings. So we've been able to use that has, like our cover story for when we help people. Like, I bought my mom a roof. I know, really, really nice of me, but, you know, when she says, how can you afford this? I just say, oh, it's great. Uncle Bob's money. Mom, he want. He wanted us to do this. Yeah. You know, Uncle Bob's money is at least 2x now. That's great. She wants $20 million. Could you keep it in? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I tell my spouse. It seems like he was able to tell his wife, thank goodness, and they have an older child they told. So I think as long as I wasn't in it alone, I could, because I get his reasoning for sure. I just wonder if the human part of you. Because again, telling more than one person is no longer a secret. Yeah, it's. It's the news. You get a third person involved, eventually it's going to come out. I mean, he was doing something really kind for his mom. And yeah, he had the COVID but also some of the shot. Like I picture Myself, I might do a little bit of shopping, and I think I just might be like, you know what they'd notice. Uncle Bob wasn't that rich. That lunchbox. You win $20 million. Oh, I'm telling everybody. Yeah. Take a picture of me in the newspaper. Like, they cannot. Goes to newspaper. Newspapers. I'm a thing anymore. But it's like our minds still do that because it's like, who the newspaper is. Not a thing. But I hear you. I still see people get newspapers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Go ahead. And I mean, I want everybody to know, hey, I won $22 million, and I want my picture on Facebook, the lottery website, everywhere, anywhere. Interview me on Good Morning America. Now we're talking. Like, let's go. Like, I don't understand. If they knock on your door, hey, man, can you buy me a new roof? Nope, sorry. That's how you don't go broke. You tell people no. Have you ever heard of that word? No, you don't have to give it to people. Sing from the rooftops. I feel like the move would be in today's age, instead of the newspaper would be, you start a TikTok account called I just won the lottery. And it's just you doing all the crazy stuff you always wanted to do with money you never had. That's cool. Yeah, it's like, I just. I want. And by the way, he got after taxes, this is not 22 million worth. Now it's 10, which is still a lot. But. So he had his sec. His. His had to be like, $45 million. Did any of his co workers or did they go public with it? Because his family could be like, wait, don't you work with those people? That doesn't have to claim he was in the. Okay, true. But you have young kids or teenagers or whatever, and your dad's now going viral on Tick Tock. He's on Dave Ramsey. And I get that it's an audio thing, but, like, you could recognize the voice and be like, wait a second. He bought grandma a roof. All the facts start to come together because he goes viral. Yeah. That is so much money. And to be able to have to keep that secret. I'm telling you, my wife went to high school with some girl that, like, she thought that they were just regular people, like, lower middle class. And the day that she got married, her parents like, just do whatever you want for your wedding. She's like, no, you can't afford that. Just do it. We're multimillionaires. And that's when she Found out that they had so much money growing up, but her whole life she thought they were just like lower middle class people. So the parents kept it secret. So they must. Not even upper middle class. No, no, no, no. Just very simple people with not a lot of money. Wow. So they must have either had money left to them from somebody dead or had a job that deceivingly paid a whole lot. Because you know what your dad does for a living or your mom, whichever one's the breadwinner. That's crazy. There was a woman that lived on the outskirts out like right outside of Mountain Pine. And Mountain Pine was city limits, were railroad tracks. Because what we had was a big mill, a big sawmill. It since closed and towns really suffered because of that. But the population of my town is 700 people. Right outside the town there was. And most people thought she was homeless. She would always push a buggy. You'd see her all over. You'd even see her into hot springs, which is like 10, 12 miles away. She'd always be pushing this buggy, picking up garbage in the buggy, thinking, why collect garbage? Then later you learn where she lived. And it was on the road. And she was basically a hoarder because all the stuff that she would collect, it would just be piled up in front of her house, in her house. And after she died, they went in and had to like clean it all up. And she was worth millions of dollars. Dang. She chose to live like that, I guess. Don't know. Wow. Worth millions of dollars. But shout out to this dude who won $22 million, who can keep a secret. However, I have a feeling it's gonna go so viral that somebody is going to put all this together. And I'm still scratching off. I mentioned earlier I hit a little. I hit a little, little something this morning. I can't wait. Go listen to that on the podcast. I'm trying to scratch off until I win $1,000.

I started to live a double life when I was a teenager. Responsible and driven and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community and I made my way back. This season joined me on my journey through addiction and and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to crumbs. As part of the Michael Luda Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You guys ever do the. Well, now it's called Ding Dong Ditch. It had a way worse name when I was a kid. Way worse. Oh yeah, way worse. Way worse. Ding Dong Ditch. You go up, you go ding dong on the doorbell or you knock on the door and you run away. So this happened and the dude who had his house ding dong ditched chased him down in a vehicle, held a gun to them. They got out of the car and then he stole their way, took their car keys. Oh gosh. Because he wasn't like carjacking them, but like he went hard with teaching them a lesson. So one alleged victim told police the group had gone to IHOP to eat and then decided to ding dong ditch the area of Edgewood Street. At one home, they rang the doorbell, saw a man, he looked out the window, didn't come out, so they rang it again. When they rang it a second time, the garage door started to open. And that's when you know it's about to get real. Cuz he decided not to come out the front door. He's waiting. Oh, you see his feet? Something bigger is about. No, not even that. The car. Oh, something bigger is about to come at you. Which is the garage and the car. They heard a gunshot from inside the garage. According to the document. They ran to their vehicle and drove off, but were followed by the guy in a white Jeep Grand Cherokee at a dead end road. He pulled up next to the victims, pointed a sawed off shotgun. Then they. He demanded they get out of their car and lie on the ground. The victims obviously did it. At one point he placed the gun at one of the victims and said who sent you and where's your gun? The victims told the suspect they were just kids and apologized for the ding Dong Ditch. He then demanded their car keys, which he took. And then he got back in his jeep and drove off. Police quickly located him, pulled him over in a track traffic stop. They arrested him. So something's up, right? Why did they. I wonder why they picked Him Random, I think. Random. Yeah. And I'm going to read you another part of the end of the story before because there is some other. Some other things I should share. But I want to know first before we get to that man, if you go ding dong ditching, you don't know what's going to come out of that place. And the guy should never have done this. He shouldn't have chased him. I can understand. But what if he. What. What if he felt threatened? What if somebody had done something to him before? Yeah. And he's triggered. And he's triggered. Right. Like you still shouldn't do it. But it's like pulling up and having road rage. Like if somebody cuts you off or like does something mean to you, you sh. Just because you don't know what. What's happening with them. Leave them alone. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. Same with this guy. He should. He was completely 100% in the wrong in every single way. But that doesn't mean he still can't hurt you. The same way with doing somebody something in a car. Even if they're wrong in every way and you pull up aside and you're like, hey, come on. That doesn't mean they can't pull a gun and shoot you. It doesn't mean they're right. They're very wrong. But it's like don't mess with folks because you don't know what they're going through, how crazy they are. And obviously they didn't know the guy. He was a registered sex offender. He was on GPS monitoring for first degree. My goodness. What you don't. And that is my point here. You don't know who the crap you're doing that to. Yeah. So only ding dong ditch people, you know. Right. That's what it usually. Now that. That would be. That would be. And only cut people off and traffic. Give them the bird if you know them. Like I'm only doing that if I see you guys only. Yeah. So this is just my message. And it's bigger than the ding dong ditch. If you don't know the person that you are possibly getting into some sort of confrontation with. You don't know what they're capable of. You don't know what they've done in their past. You don't know what they're in trouble for, what mental issues are going through, what they have in their glove box. You just don't know. So unless you do, don't be screwing with folks. And they're kids. They shouldn't have done it. But it's, it's. There's nothing there. Right. It's a sting, Dong ditch. But again, if you had your house robbed a couple times, sure you've been attacked somebody, you're a registered sex offender who's a bad person and will probably do other bad things. But maybe if you are trying to be a little random before you ding dong ditch, check the app, that'll show you if someone's a sex offender. I would just not pick. I would just not pick a random. I agree. Like you could like just see if it's. Just go to Johnny's house, you know like ding dong ditch him. Yeah. Or like the principal or. No, no, no, no, no, not the principal. Why not? He ain't going to shoot you. He's a principal. Yeah, I wouldn't mess with him either though. Yeah, I know him though. Yeah, yeah. No, another one. Listen to this. A 12 year old in Connecticut threw a snowball at a car. Again, just a kid doing a kid thing and was shot. The child and an 11 year old were throwing snowballs. A snowball hit a car. The car looped the block to chase the kids and fire rounds at the children. Injuries are non life threatening, but it doesn't matter. Like the 12 year old, the 11 year old was not hit but he was also shot at. Officials are looking for the vehicle, investigating what happened. Police are not sure how many people were in the car. That's from NBC News. So the same thing, same deal. Kids are throwing dumb snowballs. The kids are going to be kids, but I mean that's like, seems more like innocent fun. But I'm just saying, generally speaking, I'm talking to adults here, not even kids. That's who's listening to me say this. If you around and you're gonna be with people you don't know, you don't know what they're going to do back. That's it. If you're playing the random game, you're gonna randomly, randomly hurt you. Yes. Yeah. Eddie. What? You have road rage. You have road rage? Well, no, no, I'm better. You try to run people off the road. I'm better at that. I'm rehabilitated. Road ranger. How did you go to rehab? Road rage. Just talk to myself. Said stop doing that. Don't react in a way. Don't think that you're a highway vigilante. That's it. Both of those stories are terrible and I feel sorry for the kids in both situations because that, that sucks for them. The 12 year old that got shot. It sucks for them and he's doing just a stupid kid thing. But as adults, let's use this as a learning example. If you're messing with people you don't know or you're bringing people you don't know in a conference, you don't know what they're going to do or how they're going to react. So let it go. Dang. Two crazy stories. Just let it go. And sucks are both kids stories. Yeah, let it go. Something bad happens to you, you know, just let it go. Unless you're less, you're defending yourself. Let it go. Let it go. That's it. Go full frozen. Let it go. Let it go. Bones. Now time for the dumb debate of the day. Would you rather be really photogenic or take horrible photos and look really good in person? Oh, oh. Like, but when you're really. When I say you're really photogenic, is. There is not a bad photo of you ever taken. Like, when a camera is on. It's Instagram, you look great no matter what. You just look amazing. No filters, no nothing. Just suddenly you, wow, you're so photogenic. Or would you rather people like ugly pictures? If you get one, you look like, yeah, wow. Or would you rather people come up to you and be like, oh, my gosh, you look so much better in person. Okay, so it's interesting in pictures. Your broom, Hilda. Which work. Okay. Oh, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna have to say better in person. It's tough because. Does it count on camera? Any camera. Any camera. Like, video camera? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, see, that's. Oh, dude, I know. Like, on screen you are. I might just have to go the opposite then and just look good on screen. On camera. Yeah. Because that's like a lot of my livelihood and they see me, a person. Who cares. I care. Do you think people in person, though, is gonna tell you, like, you're ugly? Like, no. They won't even say you're really beautiful. No. But people will say the opposite. Like, I've that this even came up because we were telling stories with some friends and I was like, oh, this could be a dumb debate of the day. Because I have had listeners say before, like, oh, my gosh, wow, you look so much better in person. But that's also kind of a flex too, because if your picture looks pretty good and still are going to Amy going, wow, you look great. Like, she just flexed herself. I wasn't trying to. I'm just saying, like, it's just Weird to hear that from someone. I'm gonna go. I'd rather be better in pictures and on camera than in person. That's a tough one though. You. Oh, I'd rather look better in person. I'd rather have every photo of me look wonky and then in person be like, okay, good, I have too many bills attached to me not being ugly. Yeah, I gotta, I gotta pay too many bills. Like I'm no supermodel, but again, Morgans don't get paid if it's all busted. Eddie. Photogenic. Just pictures last forever. Like forever. I'll be beautiful. You know what I mean? You're good looking. Gosh, man, great, great, great grandfather was beautiful. Like, look at him, he's good looking. Years more about your legacy. Okay. Okay. Eddie might win me over with that whole legacy thing. I was paying bills with mine. My dog's got to eat. How about that? Yeah, don't know. You can still pay bills with audio. Oh, it would suck to be ugly. I'd rather be good looking in person. Because you walk into a bar, how are you going to get a chick if you're ugly? I mean, you're not. Look at the picture. A lot of chicks are going to talk to the good looking dudes at the bar and you're going to be sitting there by yourself drinking on your beer, going, man, no one's talking to me. I'm not going to get a chicken tonight. So sorry. A lot of ugly dudes can be rich. Good personalities. Yeah, absolutely. There are a lot of ugly dudes you can think of with really hot ladies. It happens a little later. Look at us. Yeah, but then when you're 21, 22, and you're at a bar and you're just ugly as crap, I mean, I was, I didn't get any. Girl sucks. And I mean ugly people know this. It. I feel bad for ugly people, man. But also looks a relative. No, it ain't. Not in this dumb debate of the day, it's not. Oh yeah, looks. When did you get good looking, lunchbox? Oh, probably when I was 13 or 14, I guess. I mean, I had chicks my whole life. My first chick was in like second grade. Tracy Prelup. But isn't that just you being in second grade and like having a girlfriend? I mean, she was the hottest one in the class. I mean, what do you want me to do? I don't know. I can't help it. Do you think your personality has anything to do with it? Probably good looking. What do you mean? What do you Feel like. People describe you as really good looking. Like, at what point did they start describing you as really good looking? He's fun. I mean, I don't know if chicks knew. I mean, probably second grade. Oh, you think it's second grade? You're. You're really good looking at girls. Yeah. That was when he got. What's her face? Tracy Perell. Yeah. The most beautiful girl in class. She was. What do you want him to do? Yeah, I mean, I can't help it. I mean, I. It's just something I'm blessed with. And that's what I mean. Like, I saw ugly people as we were kids. I was like, man, that sucks. What about now? Do you see ugly people? I see ugly chicks all the time. I'm like, man, they just have a little chicks. But anybody like you ever see, you can't tell the difference in a good looking guy and ugly guy. That's why he said girls or chicks. I still don't believe that. I think he says that. I'm just telling you, you can't tell the difference in a good looking guy and an ugly guy. No, you can't tell the difference in David Beckham and me. No, we look the same. Some girls like you better than Damon Beckham. I don't think they do, actually. Not. Not just in a blind taste test, you know. I don't think they do, no. But I'm just saying that so I'd rather be good looking in person because you can have all the pictures you want, but when they see daddy in person, they're like, whoa, don't say daddy. Thank you, Emmy, for that. It's a dumb debate of the day. I regret it. It's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good. Anthony Harper of the FDNY got a call about a two alarm fire. A house is on fire. He shows up, smoke billowing out of the house. And people are like, there's people trapped inside. You gotta help. You gotta help. And so Anthony's like, all right. They said there's a kid in the basement. So he goes through the smoke, looking, trying to find the kid. Finds a little baby downstairs in the crib. And he's like, quickest way out is that window. There's a basement window. Breaks the window and hands the baby through the window to another firefighter. There was also a story about a Ohio bus driver who was driving along his route, but he wasn't in his bus. This was like an off day. But he knew all the houses and saw one was on fire. And so he busted and there was nobody in there, but the dogs were as the house on fire and he saved the dogs. Wow. I just happened to know the area because he drives the bus on that route. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it's random. Well, it's just like I. I see a fire, I'm probably just gonna call somebody, right? I'm scared of that stuff. Both of them, big shout out to those guys. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. And that is the end of the first half of the podco. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first time of the podcast. You can go to podcast two or you can wait till podcast to come out.
