  Speaker 1: We're going to get into right now. Eight seven, seven, nine, three,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: seven one oh four seven something. Tell us about something
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you you are completely unqualified for, but you did it anyway,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And here's why.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: So I was at Easton's baseball game and we're just
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: sitting there ready to be spectators, and someone comes up
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: to me and it's like, hey, you we need someone
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: to run the scoreboard.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Can you do it?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I've never done that before, but
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I suppose I could do this?
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Why not? So they hand me the little machine, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what I'm.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Doing, so much so that I have to check GPT
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the device that they handed me to see if there
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: are some sportive directions. And as I'm trying to figure
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: it out, I'm not really sure what the rest of
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the people watching.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: The game we're thinking.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Because I look at the scoreboard and like in real life,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: in the actual game, it's the second inning, although if
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you're going by what the scoreboard says, it's the seventh
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: inning right now, the score is actually one to zero.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: In real life, the scoreboard says it's like eleven to sixteen.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And let me just figure this out people. No one's
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: getting mad, nobody's saying anything. But I'm like getting really
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: hot and like embarrassed inside because I think everyone's looking
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: at me not knowing what I'm doing.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: But I did it anyway.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I did it anyway.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: They didn't yell at you. But at the end of
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: the day, the score was correct a basketball if you
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: are the scorekeeper, because the game moves so fast. If
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: you are not on top of it, or you mess
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: up a scoreboard, the crowd is going bananas and it
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: is scary.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And also they pick the person who runs a scoreboard
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: is usually like someone who's not playing or someone who's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: on another team like high school.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and they and they don't know what they're doing.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: The chill out.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So we want to know, what are you completely unqualified for?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: But you did it anyway, Sarah, Good.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Morning, good morning?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: What is it? What happened? What are you qualified for?
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: So a few years ago, I worked at a prosthetics
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: and Arthpotox company and we did everything from you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: casting all the way through the production of the actual prothesis.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: And I worked in the front office, but occasionally a
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: practitioner would be back there by themselves in the lab
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: and they would holler for me to come back there,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: and they were pulling plastic out of the oven. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: you literally pull these giant sheets of plastic out and
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: you have seconds to get them over the mold of
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: the actual socket and pull the plastic down to like
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: harden over it. And they would pull me back there
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: to do that, and I always felt like I was
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: going to totally mess it up. I was going to like,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: you know, ruin thousands of dollars for this stuff. But
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: several times I got called back there to do that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: So it's pretty cool.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So you talked like you did it on a leg
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: or an arm.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: We only really did legs. Most people don't do arms,
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: so yeah, it would be like yeah, but if.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Some if they put on the prosthetic and it did work,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it was a limp. But they go, Sarah, he's.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Got I mean, that's pretty good.
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: I'm unqualified to make limbs and anyway.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Job, no bad story is that nobody's ever got ruined.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Luckily that I at least so they told me so.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for sharing, Thanks Sarah. I have a great day, Anthony.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: What are you completely unqualified for? But you did it anyway?
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: Anthony, Oh good morning, Good morning. Uh So, my twin.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: Brother and I were in the military. We had a
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: friend who just left the military, transitioned out, and he
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: went to the New York Film Academy to first screenwriting.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: He landed a job to where he was a military advisor. Yes,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: for our assistants on this project. We helped him kind
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: of create this film, met some of the the actors
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: and producers. And then one of the actors for that
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: movie was Kate Mara. Okay, and so maybe a year
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: or two years later, she landed a role playing you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: female service member, but she was a canine handler in
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: the film. So she contacted my brother and I and said, Hey,

• 4:23
  Speaker 6: I need to know if you guys know anything about
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: working with you know, these bomb sniffing dogs.

  Speaker 8: And so I was typing up an email.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Getting ready to tell her, no, I don't know anything
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: about being a canine handler. But and I was going
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: to give her a point of contact for you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: ten other people who were experts in the field. And
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: my brother calls me and says, hey, don't respond.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: To the email.
