• 1:22
  Speaker 2: that's I love that. I love when people just text
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: us about random stuff, especially when it's something so compelling.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: Is that so we didn't we didn't solicit for somebody
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: who was kidnapped, call us Texas text jj R and kidnapp. No,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: she just literally just I think, I don't you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: you never know. We got a thousand of these going
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: on the show.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: So Kyle's going through something which, by the way, Kyle
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: is so relatable in my world, and I never brought
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: it up.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Really. Yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, So I think I have a theory about my car.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: So I don't know how it is in everybody else's car.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: But when I'm listening to a song in my car
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: and I leave to go run an errand or come
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: to work, the song, if I'm not listening to the
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: radio station is still on, right, should still be on
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and playing?
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: So normally I like, we'll just listen to our radio station.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: But since the Life of a show Girl came out.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I've been listening to Taylor Swift's album over and over
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: again on repeat, all my favorite songs, like over and over.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, I think I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: need to take a break.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Like I love Taylor, I'm really into the album, but
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I should probably listen to some other things. So, you know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, it's Benson Boone's this stickle.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: And then I'm waiting to hear that song when I
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: get back in the car and this is on, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I wasn't looking to the album when I Love my.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Car, but since it's on, I'm like on next night,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like okay.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Then I forget and I'm like, wait a minute, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: was taking a.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Break from this album. So then I start to listen
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to something else and.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I get out of my car, you know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But when I get out, it's and die with.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: A smile, and I expect affecting some you know, Bruno Mars.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: When I get back in my car and this starts
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: saying it starts and you.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Know, it's so catchy that I like you and I have.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: This happens like probably I don't know ten times, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I think my car just likes the life
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of a showgirl.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's you got the Tesla, so probably Elon Musk dictate.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: They all listen to Hope the like, no matter what
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: I wasn't to do.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: When I get back in my car picks it up
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and it's not like this is the middle of the song.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: So I have this theory, like you know, like I
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: leave my car's like, yeah, that's a cool song and everything,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: but we're gonna.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Get back to oplay and then I just pop in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the middle of it. Your car is like Toy Story
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: or Super lib Pats.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So for me, and I didn't know why the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: same thing happened in my car, but it was us.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why I had this in my
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: my playlist or in my library, but it was one
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: of the songs from Titanic the soundtrack, and it would
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: just start.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I would get my car and be like, and.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: It happened all the time, and I every time, so
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: much so that I remember my son Dutch getting in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the car and I get before I start the car,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: he'd go and I'm just so angry that I ended
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: up deleting it. So I can't find it because I
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: just went through the soundtrack and there's like five albums
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of James Horner's Titanic, and I don't know why I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: was on there. Then I remember deleting it, and then
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I think my car with alphabetical, and it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Was every time I started the car with Alexander Hamilton.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I think it went alphabetically totally. And I think that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that's a it's like not a unique experience. I think
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: everyone has been through something like it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: For me right now, the song that keeps playing and
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: popping up in my car is Olivia Dean Man I
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: need and I listened to it all the way.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Through, but then I like, it's coming back it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: But every time I get in my car.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That song songs you guys like, I love. It's actually
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: my favorite.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's not at the beginning from it together.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, mine was eighteen. Because it's okay, I'm getting an.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, the person that was kidnapped, that whole story, we
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: have them onth funk, but we will talk to them next. Okay,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: we just got a text that said this person was
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: kidnapped fifty years ago.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: She was found.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: We're going to hear the whole story next King, I
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: opened up the text line when we started the show,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and I got a text from someone who says that
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: their sister was kidnapped fifty years ago and they found her.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Adriana, good morning, Good morning, What is your story? What happened?
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: So my when my mom was young, she lived in
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: California and she had her first daughter. My mom was
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: like eighteen, I know, she was seventeen. Her daughter was two.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: When my mom was nineteen, she was kidnapped, and it's
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: a crazy story, but she got My mom got deported
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: to Mexico and the people that my mom was living
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: with were not the best people in the world, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: they were coyotes. So they kept my sister and they
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: knew that, you know, I was my mom child. And
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: my mom was like trying to tell the water patrol,
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: I that's my child, and they didn't believe her, so
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: they deported her. And so of course my mom was
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: really young, so she had my grandma trying to come
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: over here, trying to look for her daughters the people,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I guess had moved, and she can never do anything,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: of course, you know, being from Mexico and not knowing
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: a lot of stuff. So she when I came to
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: live out here. She always telled me like, please, like,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: please find your sister, and this is the information, and
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: bless her heart, my mom passed away already, but she'll
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: give me names. She'll be like, the lady's name was
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: this name, and she had two sons and that this
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: was their names, and look for them, and they live
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: in this street. And so I, you know, I try
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: to look, but of course they had moved over the years,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: and so we never found her. We just, you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: we had a very little information. Passed forward fifteen some
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: years later and my sister who now lives here too,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: my other sister, we always knew that we had this sister.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: We always knew that she existed. She was her older sister,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: and we knew. But when my sister did her ancestry
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: a year later, this other lady sent her a message
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: and told her, hey, I think that we're related. I
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: did my ancestry and it comes up that you were
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: probably my cousin. And so my sister called me immediately,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: the one that lives here, and she's like, hey, somebody
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: message me. This is her name. She says, she's probably
• 7:35
