Episode 17: Saving Noah By Lucinda Berry Book Review/Ohio Dumb Crimes & Laws/Juicing Journey Begins · This Is My Circus

• 0:00
  Hey, I'm Meredith.
• 0:00
  And I'm Stephanie.
• 0:01
  And welcome to, this is my Circus.
• 0:03
  That was beautiful.
• 0:04
  It was.
• 0:05
  We got on the first take, Uhhuh.
• 0:06
  That was great.
• 0:07
  Yeah.
• 0:07
  Yes, yes.
• 0:08
  We're doing something different today and I am struggling with this early morning recording.
• 0:13
  Yeah.
• 0:13
  So, Because just life happens.
• 0:16
  Yeah.
• 0:16
  As we talk about all the time.
• 0:18
  we're recording at like seven 30 in the morning.
• 0:20
  and Meredith is still sleeping.
• 0:21
  Yes.
• 0:22
  So supposed to be seven, but starting at seven 30, which is for our usual.
• 0:28
  I'm so sorry.
• 0:29
  So it's all good.
• 0:30
  Oh, well, Jay had um, girl a big weekend.
• 0:35
  He did have a big weekend.
• 0:36
  So we had a basketball tournament, um, here in Clover.
• 0:39
  Mm-hmm.
• 0:40
  For his.
• 0:41
  AAU team.
• 0:42
  Mm-hmm.
• 0:42
  And, uh, the season's winding down.
• 0:45
  So there's Jackson's team and then there's another team in his same age group, and then there's the seventh grade team.
• 0:50
  And we always try to go and support all the teams when we can.
• 0:54
  Well, everything was right here on the Clover High School campus, so for those that don't know, it was very nice.
• 1:00
  So there's the ninth grade gym, the main gym, and then there's an old gym in there, which is kind of.
• 1:06
  Through a little bit of a maze.
• 1:07
  But the maze is closed cause they're doing some construction.
• 1:10
  So actually have to enter that through a different entrance.
• 1:12
  So everything's different entrances.
• 1:14
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:15
  Um, so it was insane because like so Saturday the team Brian coaches, which is not Jackson's team played at like.
• 1:25
  Nine 20 and two 40 or something like that.
• 1:29
  And then Jackson's team played at four and six.
• 1:31
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:32
  So that was an all day thing.
• 1:33
  And I mean, it's, it's okay, you know, but it's exhausting.
• 1:37
  Yeah.
• 1:37
  And Sunday it was, Jackson's team played eight 12.
• 1:43
  And four.
• 1:44
  Oh, they made it to the championship and then lost by two.
• 1:46
  Oh, it was heartbreaking.
• 1:48
  awful.
• 1:48
  But in the middle of that, we got into one of Brian's games in between there and then.
• 1:53
  They didn't have the AC on properly in the gym.
• 1:56
  I guess it's on like a summer.
• 1:57
  Oh.
• 1:58
  I think some of our kids are sick right now with exhaustion and dehydration.
• 2:02
  Yeah.
• 2:02
  Cause they're like headaches, body aches.
• 2:06
  I think body aches are just, cause they played fine freaking games in basketball, but, um, just like some vomit, like I think that, sorry Tmmi people.
• 2:13
  But yeah.
• 2:14
  I was just, Drenched.
• 2:17
  Yeah.
• 2:17
  And you know, that is just a terrible feeling.
• 2:20
  and you had to either walk all the way around the school, which is not a big deal.
• 2:24
  That is 95 degrees.
• 2:25
  I yesterday it was very hot and, and very hot both days.
• 2:29
  So, I mean, you could even get in the car and drive around, that's fine.
• 2:31
  But your car's, you know, hot 200 degrees, it was just, and it was great to have it local.
• 2:36
  We have great facility when the air is working.
• 2:39
  Yeah.
• 2:39
  Properly.
• 2:41
  Um, But everything's so spread out.
• 2:43
  It wasn't like a convenient walk across a hall kind of gym.
• 2:46
  Yeah.
• 2:47
  I need to check my steps, so I'm making up for it by having this.
• 2:51
  I call it a mocha focal Waaa from McDonald's.
• 2:55
  It's like a, their version of a frappuccino.
• 2:57
  Well, I've been up since four 30 cuz we have and everything on Monday.
• 3:00
  And so I got all that done this morning and so I've already had like coffee and now I'm my fantasy vibe.
• 3:07
  Sparkling, mandarin, orange.
• 3:09
  Perfect marshmallow.
• 3:11
  Ooh, orange and marshmallow.
• 3:13
  Yes.
• 3:14
  Oh.
• 3:15
  It's like creamsicle vibes, kind of.
• 3:17
  Yeah, totally.
• 3:18
  It's really good.
• 3:19
  So, you know, I love these Celsius things.
• 3:20
  Oh yeah.
• 3:21
  Um, but like, again, caffeine doesn't really affect me anymore.
• 3:24
  It just, I don't know, I think it's a mental thing.
• 3:27
  Like if I have it, I feel like I can wake up a little bit easier.
• 3:30
  I saw a TikTok and there was a girl, and I, you know, I guess if you don't drink.
• 3:34
  Caffeine.
• 3:35
  Yeah, all the time.
• 3:36
  But I've been drinking coffee since like Right.
• 3:39
  College, right.
• 3:39
  And just doesn't affect me.
• 3:40
  It's a super young girl on TikTok and she's like in tears, did anybody check the Celsius drink for meth?
• 3:48
  Because I drank it five hours ago and I can't.
• 3:53
  Oh my gosh.
• 3:54
  I was like, Girl, that's nothing.
• 3:56
  Yeah.
• 3:57
  Calm down.
• 3:58
  Have another Becky, you'll be fine.
• 4:00
  So it was funny.
• 4:01
  It was, yeah.
• 4:03
  Well, so I've lost my voice cause Love hollering.
• 4:06
  Yes.
• 4:06
  Um, we had a couple kids get injured, they'll be okay.
• 4:10
  But it just, you know, it takes some mental.
• 4:13
  From you when you're worried about the kids.
• 4:14
  Yeah.
• 4:14
  Um, but poor kids had football practice this morning at seven.
• 4:19
  Oh.
• 4:19
  So they're supposed to be in the gym ready to go at seven.
• 4:22
  And I pulled in the parking lot at two till I was like, Jay, get your stuff.
• 4:27
  You're ready.
• 4:27
  He's, I said, can you make it in by seven?
• 4:30
  He was like, that's not a problem.
• 4:31
  He said, I gotta have my stuff up and my shoes on by seven.
• 4:33
  I was like, whoa.
• 4:39
  Yeah.
• 4:40
  So I'm excited to work today.
• 4:42
  so I can sit down?
• 4:45
  Yeah.
• 4:45
  Yeah.
• 4:46
  In a padded office chair.
• 4:47
  Yeah.
• 4:49
  Well, Dylan, you know, wanted to go to, The ninth grade academy to play lacrosse yesterday.
• 4:54
  Yeah.
• 4:54
  Yep.
• 4:54
  Um, cause he's been trying to get out there for a couple hours every day.
• 4:57
  Absolutely.
• 4:58
  And um, so I went grocery shopping.
• 5:00
  Yeah.
• 5:00
  I dropped him off and went grocery shopping.
• 5:01
  Yeah.
• 5:01
  And so I text, I was like, I'll text you when I'm done.
• 5:04
  Like usually teach about an hour or whatever.
• 5:07
  And so I text him, I'm like, Hey, are you ready to, to come home?
• 5:10
  Mm-hmm.
• 5:11
  Are you ready for me to pick you up?
• 5:12
  He's like, Bring me a really cold drink.
• 5:16
  Mm-hmm.
• 5:17
  And yes, I'm ready.
• 5:18
  Yeah.
• 5:18
  And so I go and like he, I mean, he looked like he's gonna pass out.
• 5:21
  Mm-hmm.
• 5:21
  Like, it was just so hot yesterday.
• 5:22
  It was so hot and not being sun.
• 5:24
  Like, it's brutal.
• 5:26
  I know.
• 5:26
  So I had brought him, you know, body sorrys.
• 5:29
  Okay.
• 5:29
  Body armor and um, water.
• 5:31
  Yeah.
• 5:31
  And he chugged the water like right away.
• 5:33
  Yeah.
• 5:34
  And then we got home and he like, you need help.
• 5:35
  Bring in the groceries.
• 5:36
  I'm like, if you don't feel good, just go like, cool down.
• 5:39
  I'll give you a pass this time.
• 5:40
  But he still helped me.
• 5:41
  Of course, did course I enjoy, like if I'm on a cruise Yeah.
• 5:47
  Or in The Bahamas, I want it to be hot where I can enjoy it.
• 5:50
  But at home it's just, yeah.
• 5:53
  You know, you, I worry about taking the dogs out.
• 5:55
  Yes.
• 5:55
  And cause ours have those pushed up faces.
• 5:59
  I have trouble breathing.
• 6:00
  Yeah.
• 6:00
  I walked him at six this morning, so it was, it wasn't hot out and well, and he's, uh, poor Rex is already like, Yeah, he's, he's taking first, his first nap.
• 6:08
  Well, you know, we walked like almost two miles this far.
• 6:11
  This far.
• 6:12
  Well, mile, mile, like three quarters.
• 6:14
  So That's so good though.
• 6:15
  I'm glad you did that.
• 6:16
  And also, so the, doesn't get hot outside on his little paws.
• 6:19
  Well, I use that musher secret on his paws.
• 6:21
  Mm.
• 6:22
  Um, and tell me about that.
• 6:23
  It's like a wax almost protectant, kinda, um, yeah.
• 6:26
  So I guess it was like originally made for snow.
• 6:29
  Yeah.
• 6:29
  For Alaska dogs.
• 6:31
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:31
  For the, yeah, for that makes sense.
• 6:34
  Um, yeah.
• 6:34
  And so, um, I don't, I mean, I don't know how well it works, but I hope it helps.
• 6:39
  I'm sure it does.
• 6:40
  He's totally unbothered.
• 6:41
  Yeah.
• 6:42
  You know, he's just happy he has a home.
• 6:44
  Well, he, but he's the best boy.
• 6:47
  We just hit our two year I gotcha.
• 6:50
  Rex's anniversary.
• 6:51
  So that went really quick.
• 6:52
  But yeah, he, um, he's, if you're watching the video, um, we're looking under the table.
• 6:57
  Cause that's where he's, he's, we can't keep our eyes off of him.
• 7:00
  Um, we're recording in a different location so he can't see himself on screen, um, which he normally likes to do.
• 7:06
  Mm-hmm.
• 7:06
  Mm-hmm.
• 7:08
  He's good.
• 7:08
  If I look like that, I'd wanna see myself on screen all the time.
• 7:11
  I know you do.
• 7:12
  So pretty.
• 7:13
  He's such a good, um, so yesterday I missed some of Brian's game.
• 7:18
  I came home real quick.
• 7:19
  Cause we only live like three miles from the high school.
• 7:21
  Yeah.
• 7:22
  And I let our dogs out, let him run and, you know, gonna get some water and stuff.
• 7:25
  So I just had the hose like.
• 7:28
  Go and let them just drink it and run and drink like, and get wet.
• 7:32
  Yeah.
• 7:32
  And then I just put them back up cause I was like, okay, they're, do they like to get wet?
• 7:36
  two of them do.
• 7:37
  One of them is like, I'm good, I'll stay inside.
• 7:40
  Yeah.
• 7:41
  it's so weird cause when we go to the Clover Park Yeah.
• 7:44
  You know they have that pond there and he always wants to get into the pond, which is like super gross.
• 7:48
  Like uhhuh.
• 7:49
  I like, I don't do, yeah, like, like the whole stagnant water thing is just disgusting to me.
• 7:54
  But, um, but he won't get in our pool.
• 7:59
  And I think it's because of the chemical smell.
• 8:02
  Oh.
• 8:02
  But maybe like I, I'm assuming, but he follows me everywhere and he will not get in the pool And we got like the little like, sun shelf, like almost a baby pool inside the pool.
• 8:10
  Yeah.
• 8:11
  And he won't get in it.
• 8:13
  I was gonna ask if it was steps or if it was like a beach entrance, but having that sun shelf.
• 8:18
  Yeah.
• 8:18
  There's like one step and then it goes to the sun shelf and then there's like, ok.
• 8:22
  Just get three steps to get into like the regular pool part.
• 8:24
  Yeah.
• 8:24
  I had gotten several years ago, like a kiddie pool.
• 8:27
  For hours thinking they would at least like get their feet in and, and whatever, but.
• 8:31
  No, I don't know why, but if I, yeah, if I'm trying to water something outside or if I turn the hose on, they go nuts.
• 8:37
  Well, I, unless it's the winter, um Yeah.
• 8:40
  You know, bathing outside.
• 8:41
  Yes.
• 8:41
  Same.
• 8:42
  And so he hates the hose cuz he does not wanna get Listenbless him but he, he does.
• 8:47
  He'll sit there and, and be good while Well, of course, he'll yeah.
• 8:52
  Of course he will.
• 8:53
  so I told you that, um, I went grocery shopping yesterday.
• 8:55
  Yeah.
• 8:55
  Groceries are just crazy expensive anymore.
• 8:58
  Oh my gosh.
• 8:59

• 8:59
  Not that this is healthy at all the Celsius drinks, but, Right.

• 9:52
  I think I need to, to invest in the drive to Aldi's to get some, maybe we should car pool.

• 9:57
  And then, you know, right next to Aldi's is also that lid or lidd, whatever.

• 10:27
  Like carrots make things really sweet.
• 10:28
  Yeah.
• 10:30
  My iron's kind of low sometimes, so I'll just throw a handful of spinach in there.

• 11:18
  So, um, yeah, I forgot my chair.

  It's okay.
• 11:23
  It's my arm.
• 11:23

• 11:24
  Well, and I would've wanted to carry it from gym to gym anyway, and as much running around as you do with those things I do Bagly.
• 11:35
  Mm-hmm.
• 11:36
  They were like 60 or 70% off, but there's a ton of padding on it and then there's a back Oh yeah.
• 11:42
  And it's like a circle.
• 11:43
  So like Nice.
• 11:44
  It's wide and it gives you a buffer, has books Buffer.
• 11:47
  Mine does have the back on it, so Yeah.
• 11:49
  That's nice.
• 11:50
  But I've seen some super fancy ones.
• 11:52
  They were only like$25 each.
• 11:54
  Yeah.
• 11:55
  And so I was like the, that looks comfortable.
• 11:57
  Yeah.
• 11:57
  Um, and so I got those and they work great.
• 12:00
  Yeah.
• 12:01
  And they're super light, like considering how good they're good.
• 12:03
  Yeah.

  They're super, super light.
• 12:04
  Good.
• 12:05
  Yeah.
• 12:05
  Yeah.
• 12:05
  You sometimes, sometimes it's always a win when you find something like it's that good of a deal that you know you'll use.
• 12:13
  so our book, I don't.
• 12:18
  I feel like we need to give a thousand trigger warnings.
• 12:20
  Yeah.
• 12:21
  Um, yeah.
• 12:22
  Trigger warning, um, pedophilia.
• 12:24

  And, rape.
• 12:27
  Yes.
• 12:28
  I didn't like this book.
• 12:29
  I didn't like this either.
• 12:30
  So this book was called Saving Noah.
• 12:32
  Yeah.
• 12:33
  And it's by Lucinda Berry.
• 12:35
  Yes.
• 12:35
  Um, so yeah, trigger warning for all those things.
• 12:38
  Do you have our, um, the blurb?
• 12:40
  Yeah.
• 12:41
  I, it makes me sick to, just to read it though.
• 12:42
  I know.
• 12:43
  Meet Noah an a honor roll student, award-winning swimmer and small town star destined for greatness.
• 12:50
  There weren't any signs that something was wrong until the day he confesses to molesting little girls during swim team practice.
• 12:57
  He's sentenced to 18 months in the juvenile sexual rehabilitation center.
• 13:01
  His mother, Adrian, refuses to turn her back on him despite his horrific crimes, but her husband will not allow Noah back in their home in a series of shocking and shattering revelations.
• 13:11
  Adrian is forced to make the hardest.
• 13:13
  Decision of her life, just how far will she go to protect her son?
• 13:17
  Saving Noah challenges.
• 13:18
  Everything you think you know about teenage sexual offenders, it will keep you up at night long after you've read the last page, questioning your beliefs you once thought were true.
• 13:28
  I felt nauseous, reading this.
• 13:30
  Yeah.
• 13:31
  I think I texted you and I wasn't even done.
• 13:33
  Yeah.
• 13:33
  So thoughts.
• 13:35
  First.
• 13:36
  Okay.
• 13:37
  one, this is not our typical book, like Right, right.
• 13:42
  This was not a pleasure read for me.
• 13:43
  No.
• 13:44
  And that's how I like to read.
• 13:45
  Yes.
• 13:46
  Or to expand my mind, or, yeah.
• 13:48
  And this did not read any of that.
• 13:50
  Well, it gave you a different point of view on this situation.
• 13:53
  It, and it did, and I guess it did make me think of things that I wouldn't have, but I didn't wanna think about.
• 13:59
  Um, it was written really well, and I think the take on the topic mm-hmm.
• 14:05
  Was done as well as it could be.
• 14:08
  Right.
• 14:09
  it wasn't super graphic.
• 14:10
  It wasn't, it was not a graphic.
• 14:11
  Yeah.
• 14:11
  So, and I kept waiting for that.
• 14:13
  Me too.
• 14:14
  but it was, it was very high level Yes.
• 14:16
  With, with what happened with, with Noah.
• 14:19
  Yeah.
• 14:19
  but so the, basically the whole book is just about, After his confession of this horrific thing to how the family is affected.
• 14:30
  Right.
• 14:31
  And I touched on this last week when we talked about the bullies and like how mm-hmm.
• 14:35
  You immediately wanna defend and you wanna mm-hmm.
• 14:37
  Like your child Right.
• 14:38
  Regardless of what they've done.
• 14:40
  Yeah.
• 14:40
  even when it's like undefendable.
• 14:44
  Mm-hmm.
• 14:44
  Um, and I think that this is one of those times where I think she was blind to not blind, cuz she acknowledged it and she did what she thought was was right.
• 14:55
  Right.
• 14:55
  And she thought it was just gonna be swept under the rug because it wasn't a full, um, it was horrible and a horrific and it, it was right.
• 15:05
  And punishable.
• 15:05
  Yes, absolutely.
• 15:06
  But it was.
• 15:09
  I don't even know how to word it, but I know what you're trying to get to.
• 15:11
  Like he didn't fully well do what he did not well, we said trigger warning for rape.
• 15:16
  So he did not rape anyone.
• 15:17
  Yes.
• 15:18
  There was just very inappropriate touching apparently with, with two under girls, 10 year old girls.
• 15:24
  Yeah.
• 15:25
  I think there were eight, yeah.
• 15:25
  So that was his offense.
• 15:29
  I commend him for knowing.
• 15:32
  Immediately.
• 15:33
  Yeah.
• 15:33
  It was wrong.
• 15:34
  And wanting to be punished for it and wanting to get help for it.
• 15:37
  Right.
• 15:38
  I don't commend him for what he did, obviously.
• 15:40
  No, no, no.
• 15:40
  Like it was horrible.
• 15:41
  Horrific.
• 15:42
  But you hear so many times that people don't think what they're doing is wrong.
• 15:46
  Right, right.
• 15:47
  And but he knew it was wrong.
• 15:49
  Well, and even before that point, he knew that he had this.
• 15:55
  Feeling.
• 15:56
  and he did not wanna act on that.
• 15:59
  And so he tried to keep himself in situations away from Yes.
• 16:04
  From that.
• 16:05
  And I'm not excusing.
• 16:06
  No.
• 16:06
  Yeah.
• 16:06
  Um, but he was put in this situation in an environment where he was exposed to a lot of children.
• 16:13
  And I think he was like 16, 17.
• 16:16
  Yeah.
• 16:17
  So he had the forethought to know this is wrong.
• 16:20
  I don't wanna do this.
• 16:21
  I feel like I want to do this, but I'm gonna keep myself away from the situ.
• 16:25
  He tried to, knowing in his head it was wrong.
• 16:27
  Yeah.
• 16:27
  He tried to remove himself to ever be in that atmosphere.
• 16:31
  And then he was put in that and.
• 16:33
  Happened.
• 16:33
  Um, you know, and he, he truly wanted to be rehabilitated.
• 16:36
  He truly wanted to follow the program.
• 16:38
  He thought that this was gonna work.
• 16:40
  Yeah.
• 16:40
  Um, he did not want to be this person.
• 16:42
  No.
• 16:43
  I'm like so conflicted as a mom.
• 16:45
  Mm-hmm.
• 16:45
  to be put in her, her place, God, for, I would know.
• 16:49
  It's hard to even, um, But you know, it, it showed the effect in the entire family.
• 16:54
  It showed the effect on the community.
• 16:57
  Yeah.
• 16:57
  How the community and, and I don't blame the community for how they reacted.
• 17:01
  Right.
• 17:01
  No, totally.
• 17:02
  And I, well, at the beginning of the book, I don't blame the dad for wanting distant what?
• 17:08
  At the beginning of the book.
• 17:09
  Yeah.
• 17:09
  Wanting distance because they have a younger daughter.
• 17:12
  Yes.
• 17:12
  It's the same age as those girls.
• 17:14
  So she's seven, eight.
• 17:15
  Yes.
• 17:15
  Um, so they are trying to put distance between the daughter mm-hmm.
• 17:20
  And Noah.
• 17:21
  I don't blame him in that moment for that.
• 17:24
  Mm-hmm.
• 17:25
  Until, mm-hmm.
• 17:26
  We get later in the book.
• 17:28
  Yeah.
• 17:28
  Um, and some spoilers maybe.
• 17:31
  Yeah, I think, listen, y'all, I.
• 17:35
  Cannot recommend this book.
• 17:36
  I wouldn't either.
• 17:37
  so I, if you decide to read it, we're gonna give some spoilers.
• 17:40
  Yeah.
• 17:40
  Only because I don't feel like our listeners, would appreciate Agreed.
• 17:46
  You might appreciate it.
• 17:47
  I, I'm not telling you don't read it.
• 17:49
  Right.
• 17:49
  I just, it is a different perspective.
• 17:51
  Yes.
• 17:51
  I mean, Read it if you want to.
• 17:54
  Yeah, whatever.
• 17:54
  But we're gonna talk about it.
• 17:55
  Okay.
• 17:55
  Yeah, we're gonna just get into it and, and there's gonna be lots of spoilers, so the dad ended up being an offender?
• 18:00
  Yes.
• 18:01
  I'm like, well, did he abuse his children?
• 18:03
  Like, we don't get we don't get any of the backstory for that.
• 18:05
  Right.
• 18:05
  So the entire book, like they, he, they keep saying like, His perspective or him, or you know, something like that.
• 18:12
  Like where like the, the guy starts talking, right?
• 18:15
  Um, from his perspective and the whole time you think it's Noah, but the whole time it's really the dad from when he was younger.
• 18:22
  Mm-hmm.
• 18:22
  With the shock.
• 18:23
  You didn't catch that?
• 18:24
  I did not, yeah.
• 18:25
  That those were his memories from a shock treatment that he was getting in the facility to the kids being, um, like, oh, abused in the showers at the facility.
• 18:36
  That was all the dad.
• 18:37
  I did not catch that.
• 18:39
  Yeah, because like you said, it did go back a little bit and back and forth in the present and I did the audio book.
• 18:45
  I might have did, I missed it Cause of that, but yeah.
• 18:47
  Um, okay.
• 18:48
  So some of those were from every time it said like him, right?
• 18:52
  It was the dad from when he was younger.
• 18:54
  I thought they were Noah's so did I until the very end when, when he was like going back to the shock treatment therapy, which they don't do anymore.
• 19:03
  Right.
• 19:03
  So that was like a, kind of like a mind f Yeah.
• 19:09
  Um, right, so we don't know why the dad was so, he hated Noah because he hates, he, he felt himself right.
• 19:17
  And I, I mean, again, this, this book did a, um, a good job of letting you know where things were without getting too graphic.
• 19:25
  Yes.
• 19:26
  So we don't know why the dad was in this facility.
• 19:30
  Yeah.
• 19:30
  If he actually was, was at that point like Noah and not wanting to commit these things.
• 19:34
  Or if he had Yeah.
• 19:35
  And he was getting quote treatment.
• 19:37
  Yeah.
• 19:38
  Um, But yeah, so, so then, you know, like the dad had told Noah, just pack your stuff, go across country.
• 19:46
  Don't ever contact us again.
• 19:47
  I'll, I'll fund everything for you.
• 19:49
  Right.
• 19:50
  Um, until you're 21 or whatever.
• 19:51
  Yeah.
• 19:52
  Um, but do not come back.
• 19:53
  Do not contact your mom or your sister.
• 19:55
  Just get out of here.
• 19:56
  I think from what I got from the story, that's what he did when he got outta that facility, he just took off to start over.
• 20:03
  Well, when you were saying that, I was trying to think back, do we ever get any information from Noah's like, I mean, Noah's grandparents, so the dad's parents, so that side of the family, I don't think we got that deep.
• 20:15
  No.
• 20:15
  So yeah, you're probably right.
• 20:17
  That's probably what he did is and, and he was probably kinda.
• 20:21
  I mean, I'm gonna infer bought off from his family to, to do that.
• 20:24
  Yeah.
• 20:25
  So he was just, yeah.
• 20:26
  So, um, I hated this book.
• 20:29
  I, again, it was written really well for the, for the subject.
• 20:32
  And then I'm like, so like my mind goes to like, why, like why would this, God forbid, like I hope, like Right.
• 20:39
  I hate that this happens at all.
• 20:40
  Yeah.
• 20:41
  Um, so I looked her other books, and books are like, Like genre.
• 20:47
  Yeah.
• 20:47
  And I'm like, topic there.
• 20:49
  I mean, it makes like, it like hurts my heart.
• 20:52
  Yeah.
• 20:52
  I mean, and honestly, we're interested in things that we, you know, but this is one that I'm not interested No.
• 21:00
  In.
• 21:00
  Um, but there must be people that you know, I mean, there's therapists that specialize in this kind of thing.
• 21:07
  So I guess there's people that look at it in a, you know, in a way to grow.
• 21:13
  But can we talk about, and then we really need to get on something else.
• 21:17
  Can we talk about the end of the book?
• 21:18
  Yeah.
• 21:19
  So basically what happens is Noah has this heartfelt conversation with his mom, Adrian, after Adrian, after you tried to commit suicide twice.
• 21:26
  Yes.
• 21:27
  Um, about, I, I don't want to be like this.
• 21:30
  The only way I cannot be like this is to die.
• 21:33
  Yeah.
• 21:34
  And, um, she's a nurse, right?
• 21:37
  yes.
• 21:38
  But she was not practicing.
• 21:39
  She was not practicing, but she had the, she had history.
• 21:41
  She a degree.
• 21:42
  Yeah.
• 21:42
  so he wanted to, to die and have her assist him his, in his death.
• 21:49
  yes.
• 21:49
  So she wanted to make it as painless as possible.
• 21:52
  She didn't want him to feel any pain.
• 21:54
  She didn't wanna be alone.
• 21:55
  And like I cried.
• 21:55
  I cried.
• 21:56
  Oh, yeah.
• 21:57
  During this part of the work.
• 21:58
  Yeah.
• 21:58
  And she did not readily agree to this.
• 22:00
  Like she was, this was, I mean, obviously she did research.
• 22:02
  She like, you know, she had to do a lot of soul searching, I'm sure.
• 22:07
  But she did not want him in pain physically or mentally.
• 22:10
  I mean, she could tell, but.
• 22:12
  Y'all know where we're coming from.
• 22:13
  We're not trying to stand up for these people or No, no.
• 22:16
  Or, or you can even understand this at all.
• 22:18
  But like, she did not want her child to be in mental anguish or physical pain.
• 22:24
  And she can see that he was like, he was gonna continue trying until he succeeded.
• 22:28
  Yes.
• 22:29
  And what, cause he tried to jump out the window.
• 22:32
  He saw himself from window.
• 22:33
  The window.
• 22:33
  Window.
• 22:34
  And then he also tried to overdose.
• 22:35
  Yeah.
• 22:36
  so she ends up assisting him with that.
• 22:39
  Yeah, and I, I cried.
• 22:41
  I like, I Oh, terrible.
• 22:43
  I cannot, and then like his playlist, oh my God.
• 22:46
  I.
• 22:48
  We need to move on.
• 22:49
  Okay.
• 22:50
  I'm fine with that.
• 22:51
  I'm fine.
• 22:51
  I can't recommend this book.
• 22:52
  It's not something I would ever on my own read.
• 22:55
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:55
  And that's what's so great about our book list, I think is because we do read stuff that we don't know about.
• 22:59
  Yeah.
• 23:00
  But this book I could have done without Totally.
• 23:03
  Um, but again, written really well.
• 23:05
  I mean, it was done as tactfully, I guess as you could, but just not, not a topic.
• 23:12
  Um, Comfortable with For me.
• 23:15
  Yeah.
• 23:15
  For, yeah, for, to say the least.
• 23:17
  Um, so moving on from that, our next book is called All The Missing Girls.
• 23:22
  Yes.
• 23:22
  And it's Megan Miranda.
• 23:23
  Yes.
• 23:24
  And I did start reading it.
• 23:25
  Okay.
• 23:25
  So, um, hoopla, um, it's on both.
• 23:28
  Okay, cool.
• 23:29
  I think there's like a waiting list okay.
• 23:30
  Um, I'm not, that's not sure if there's a waiting list right now.
• 23:32
  Um, I'm excited about, well, I say that every time I'm excited about it.
• 23:36
  I just like to read, so I'm excited about that.
• 23:37
  You did.
• 23:37
  Um, so something else, if you have recommendations, we've gotten several book recs, so please send those in.
• 23:43
  We'd love to add your, um, Favorites or something you're interested in to or list and we're open to, again, all everything.
• 23:52
  I like to be introduced to things that I wouldn't just find by scrolling on Kendall's free books.
• 23:57
  Yeah.
• 23:58
  Um.
• 23:59
  I did finish the Holly Madison book.
• 24:02
  Did you like it?
• 24:03
  I did like it.
• 24:04
  I did like it.
• 24:05
  I wanted to wait until you were just reading it.
• 24:06
  Yeah.
• 24:06
  when you were saying how, they talk about their conflict with Kendra Yeah.
• 24:10
  On the podcast, like the whole book.
• 24:12
  You're reading it and you're like, oh, we're friends.
• 24:14
  Like what the heck?
• 24:15
  Like where did it go wrong?
• 24:16
  and then you get to that last like two chapters or whatever of the book and, and it.
• 24:21
  Tells like how it all went wrong.
• 24:24
  Yeah, it was, it was, I liked it.
• 24:28
  I liked it from her perspective.
• 24:30
  and again, this is one that she reads, first person on the audiobook.
• 24:33
  Yes.
• 24:33
  So that I liked that.
• 24:35
  Yeah.
• 24:35
  If it's biography and not doing that, it was, you know, When you think of, I don't know how many people out there think of, you know, the Playboy man.
• 24:43
  Probably everybody, right?
• 24:45
  Well, if you're our age, like that was like a big thing when we were Oh yes.
• 24:48
  Like huge.
• 24:50
  Everybody was getting the Playboy Bunny tattoo or whatever.
• 24:53
  Um, or like the little stickers.
• 24:55
  The stickers, what you need hand.
• 24:58
  Um, I mean, you think of just all this opulence and just fancy whatever, and.
• 25:04
  Her perspective is that it was not, no, it was pretty gross.
• 25:07
  It, I mean, not just for bodily, yes, no.
• 25:12
  Well, it was bodily fluid animals.
• 25:16
  Yes.
• 25:17
  Yes.
• 25:18
  The dogs.
• 25:18
  The the dogs that nobody took care of.
• 25:20
  And so, but then, you know what I thought was super interesting was like, you'd think that that mansion was Hugh Hefner's, so she spilled the beans.
• 25:27
  Yeah.
• 25:27
  Saying that he did not own that mansion, which was by which Playboy itself.
• 25:31
  And he had to rent the rooms.
• 25:33
  That's crazy.
• 25:34
  To me.
• 25:34
  That is bananas.
• 25:36
  I know.
• 25:36
  And it was what, like 10,000 week or something like that?
• 25:40
  I don't know.
• 25:40
  We're throwing numbers out.
• 25:41
  I was thinking 25,000.
• 25:43
  Well, for it depended on the room, the room size.
• 25:45
  Yeah.
• 25:46
  Yeah, so he just rented the rooms from Playboy.
• 25:49
  So that was, that was definitely interesting to me.
• 25:52
  Yeah, there was a lot of things in there that I was like, no.
• 25:56
  Yeah, me too.
• 25:57
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 25:58
  And I think a lot of it was, you know, back when they were doing the show, A lot of the hype was about which ones of his girlfriends were real girlfriends and which were not.
• 26:09
  And some of the stuff they got into, I was like, no way I would recommend that book.
• 26:17
  It was called Down the Rabbit Hole.
• 26:19
  Yes.
• 26:19
  Yeah.
• 26:19
  Um, it's, and got another book too.
• 26:21
  She does Vegas Diaries.
• 26:22
  Have you done that one?
• 26:23
  I have not, but it's on, enjoyed her.
• 26:27
  Cause she was kind of a little bit of a rag riches.
• 26:30
  Yes.
• 26:30
  So I enjoyed hearing that and how hard she worked to pay off her, um, assets.
• 26:36
  Yes.
• 26:38
  Um, now insured for a million dollars, million dollars, that's 7,000 investment that she, she put, uh, definitely in.
• 26:46
  Worth it for her.
• 26:47
  Just what she did next and, and that kind of thing.
• 26:50
  I thought that was a good one.
• 26:51
  So I, I liked that.
• 26:53
  Um, did you just make money?
• 26:55
  I did.
• 26:55
  Nice.
• 26:56
  I love that sound.
• 26:57
  I know.
• 26:57
  That's a good, I am reading another book though.
• 27:02
  Cause I finished, that was so early.
• 27:04
  Cause I think need to get through that one.
• 27:05
  Yeah.
• 27:06
  Um, and I'm reading one that just came up on.
• 27:09
  I don't know how I found it.
• 27:10
  Um, but it's called local woman missing.
• 27:13
  I saw that.
• 27:14
  I haven't found it yet though.
• 27:15
  Yeah, but I just looked at, um, it's by Mary Kombucha or something like that, like a tea.
• 27:21
  but it's from the bestselling author of the other Oh, the bestselling author of the other misses.
• 27:29
  What?
• 27:30
  I don't know, you'll figure that out for yourselves.
• 27:33
  The other Mrs.
• 27:34
  Mary Kombucha, the other misses, is that the name of the book?
• 27:37
  Uhhuh and Mary Kombucha is the author.
• 27:38
  Uhhuh.
• 27:39
  Alright, there you go.
• 27:41
  But the other misses, it's like, how many books are there about the other Mrs.
• 27:44
  Parish?
• 27:44
  Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 27:46
  So anyway, that's not bad.
• 27:47
  Yeah.
• 27:48
  I mean it's dark and twisted and um, do you wanna do our crimes?
• 27:52
  Yes, absolutely.
• 27:54
  So we did Ohio.
• 27:55
  Yes.
• 27:56
  Because you couldn't think of a state.
• 27:57
  I just blur out Ohio last week.
• 27:59
  That's perfect.
• 27:59
  That's perfect.
• 28:00
  Um, do you want me to go first?
• 28:01
  Sure.
• 28:02
  Okay.
• 28:03
  in June in an Ohio man named James Blaken ship, did you the same one?
• 28:09
  Okay.
• 28:10
  He decided to break into his mother's house in broad daylight.
• 28:13
  They had quarreled earlier in the year and his mother had banned him from her house.
• 28:17
  Perhaps he wanted to get back at his mother for stealing some jewelry.
• 28:20
  Perhaps he wanted to take a nostalgic nap in his childhood bed.
• 28:24
  We'll never know because the scheme was interrupted.
• 28:26
  When blanket chip's.
• 28:27
  Mother noticed that her prodigal son was attempting to come back home.
• 28:31
  Upon being discovered by his mother, he fled the scene.
• 28:35
  Um, so he gets arrested and da, da da, da da.
• 28:37
  But basically the point of the story is he didn't know you could get arrested, um, for breaking and entering if it was in the daytime.
• 28:43
  Yeah.
• 28:44
  that's amazing, isn't it?
• 28:45
  The thing that I read said, um, but it got weirder from here.
• 28:49
  Here's a Cleveland scene.
• 28:51
  A neighbor alert to the police that he had witnessed a man running behind a nearby home.
• 28:55
  Blankenship was discovered hiding in a crawl space, not far from his mother's house.
• 28:59
  The accused told officers he didn't think he could be arrested for burglary because it was not nighttime.
• 29:05
  Unfortunately, as Blankenship really should have known, just because most burglaries seem to happen at night doesn't mean a burglary laws only apply at night.
• 29:14
  Why did Blankenship think this?
• 29:15
  Who knows?
• 29:16
  Maybe he had been given bad advice by an incompetent lawyer or another criminal.
• 29:22
  Maybe he had just seen the vampire movie blade and had somehow forgotten.
• 29:27
  Vampires can only come out at night.
• 29:30
  These criminals can only be arrested at night.
• 29:33
  Or maybe he's just sort of, um, I don't know, slow.
• 29:35
  This is from the article that I read.
• 29:38
  My gosh.
• 29:39
  That's crazy.
• 29:40
  Try your own conclusions, but personally I'm gonna go with option B.
• 29:45
  I just don't think if I'm running from the cops or from anybody.
• 29:50
  I'm not jumping in a crawlspace.
• 29:52
  No.
• 29:52
  That is not where I'm going.
• 29:54
  First of all the things that live in crawlspace spaces.
• 29:56
  Exactly.
• 29:57
  No, exactly.
• 29:58
  So when we lived in Tennessee Yeah.
• 30:00
  Speaking of crawlspace.
• 30:01
  Yes.
• 30:01
  We had the Direct TV guy come and he had to go underneath, like to do whatever wiring.
• 30:05
  God bless him.
• 30:06
  And so we kept hearing when these weird things at night and like our old dog that passed Yes.
• 30:11
  Um, would run from like air.
• 30:16
  Um, and so he would run from vent to vent at night, freaking out in the middle of the night.
• 30:19
  And I'm like, what the heck?
• 30:20
  yeah.
• 30:20
  Is somebody living down there?
• 30:21
  Right.
• 30:22
  It totally freaked me out.
• 30:23
  So this poor man, and he didn't speak much English.
• 30:26
  Mm-hmm.
• 30:26
  Um, he comes Beline.
• 30:28
  Yeah.
• 30:29
  And we're like, what the heck?
• 30:31
  And he's like, He's big this big and we're like, what's this big, what's this big?
• 30:36
  His hands were like two feet.
• 30:37
  Yeah.
• 30:37
  You know, apart.
• 30:38
  And there was a huge raccoon in our crawlspace.
• 30:44
  Oh my gosh.
• 30:45
  Alive.
• 30:46
  Orde though.
• 30:46
  Alive.
• 30:47
  That's what was running all.
• 30:49
  Oh, that's what zoom in.
• 30:50
  Yeah.
• 30:51
  It was probably too chunky and couldn't get out.
• 30:54
  I was like, oh my gosh.
• 30:55
  Yeah.
• 30:56
  Um, so that was crawl crawlspace is gonna be if, if.
• 31:00
  Now that I'm putting it out there, that'd be a good place for me to ever hide.
• 31:03
  Cause people be, like she said on their podcast, she would never hide in the crossback.
• 31:07
  I would not, I really wouldn't.
• 31:10
  No, I really wouldn't either.
• 31:11
  I really wouldn't either.
• 31:12
  When we built our house, I helped go under it, like do some stuff down there.
• 31:16
  Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
• 31:16
  And uh, nope.
• 31:18
  See, uh, The things I'll do.
• 31:21
  Sometimes I just get roped into these things.
• 31:23
  I'm like, yeah, I got it.
• 31:24
  I'll clean out the gutters on the second floor.
• 31:26
  No, that, that's, that's not my time.
• 31:30
  So the other day he was like, we need to go under the house and make sure, da, da da.
• 31:34
  Well, and we get our house checked every, you know, so often for bugs and sprayed and stuff.
• 31:38
  Um, and we have, I'm trying to justify the fact that I'm gonna have go under the stinking house.
• 31:43
  Nope.
• 31:46
  I'll keep y'all posted on when and if so, you said, you don't to go under water, right?
• 31:51
  Like that's like, I don't, I will not go under a.
• 31:54
  I don't want nothing to do it.
• 31:55
  Yeah, yeah.
• 31:56
  No, that doesn't bother me.
• 31:57
  No.
• 31:58
  Mm-hmm.
• 31:58
  But water where I'm, I'm like, like there's, there could be snakes under there.
• 32:02
  There's not Steph, there's not any, no, thank you.
• 32:06
  I'm good.
• 32:06
  Never.
• 32:08
  I'll do that.
• 32:09
  but our house right now is on the slab, so we don't That's perfect.
• 32:12
  Perfect.
• 32:14
  Solves that problem.
• 32:15
  Yeah, no problem at all actually.
• 32:18
  Yeah.
• 32:18
  That's funny.
• 32:19
  You got some dumb laws.
• 32:20
  I do.
• 32:21
  I just have to go to my other, uh, Google tab.
• 32:23
  Well, I'll start then.
• 32:24
  Please do.
• 32:25
  Here's one I can get behind and I like it a lot.
• 32:28
  Okay.
• 32:28
  So in Oxford, throwing a snake at anyone is illegal and I, uh, 100% stand behind that law.
• 32:36
  Yeah.
• 32:37
  You throw a snake at me.
• 32:39
  But if I don't die from a heart attack, yeah.
• 32:42
  I will kill you.
• 32:43
  Yeah.
• 32:44
  You'll die from, from these hands.
• 32:47
  Um, it's against the law to kill a house, fly within 160 feet of a church without a license.
• 32:55
  I Do you get a license?
• 32:56
  Is it like a fishing license?
• 32:58
  You gotta get a fly license.
• 32:59
  You do.
• 32:59
  You have to go to the magistrate and you say, I need a fly SWAT license.
• 33:03
  Okay, well here's one for you.
• 33:05
  Mm-hmm.
• 33:06
  It's illegal to fish for whales on Sunday.
• 33:09
  What whales are in Ohio?
• 33:10
  It's a great question.
• 33:13
  And I need to know this information.

• 33:29
  Um, but have you ever seen these videos of the Paddle of Waters and then light up?
• 33:33

• 33:45

  We can't talk to epiphany.
• 36:52
  Um, I would not want to be in any kind of civil or for law.
• 37:01
  What, what am I trying to say?
• 37:02
  I don't really know.
• 37:04
  I would not wanna be in government ok.
• 37:05
  To make laws or punish people or to come up with this stuff.
• 37:08
  Like, are you kidding me?
• 37:11
  We gotta make a law about giving fish alcohol.
• 37:14
  Like, we really have to come up with that law now.
• 37:16
  I I, I would love to be in the room like fy on the wall observing yeah.
• 37:21
  When somebody brings us up.
• 37:23
  could you imagine like, okay, so perhaps it's probably a really old wall, right?
• 37:26
  Sure.
• 37:26
  Like how books, like for a long time, so there probably wasn't any women in the room, right?

  Um, he came to stay with us for two weeks last summer.
• 39:53
  Okay.

  Texting and all these social media, all the things.
• 40:01
  Yeah.
• 40:02
  So, um, they still talk a lot.
• 40:03
  And so he's coming to visit.
• 40:06
  I think the 28th, um, is the same for a week.
• 40:08
  And so Dylan's like, well, is it okay these dates?
• 40:10
  I'm like, well, that's fine, but that's the entire world championship week.
• 40:14
  Yeah, dude.
• 40:15
  So like you cannot, like, hopefully he'll have his license by then.
• 40:19
  Um, cuz he takes his driving class on the 20th or something like that.
• 40:23
  Yeah.
• 40:24
  But, um, I'm like, we're gonna be busy that entire, that's like our crazy week of the year.
• 40:30
  That is cool.
• 40:30
  I'm glad that kids can stay in touch like that.
• 40:32
  Yeah.
• 40:32
  Cause I was telling somebody the other day, you go somewhere, you meet somebody when we were growing up and it's like S and Ira.
• 40:38
  Yeah.
• 40:38
  Hope to see'em again, but you never know.
• 40:40
  Maybe.
• 40:40
  Yeah.
• 40:41
  And we had like long distance charges to call anybody back then and No, write a letter.
• 40:45
  Yeah.
• 40:47
  Postcard.
• 40:47
  Oh yeah.
• 40:51
  Um, so, oh, good.
• 40:52
  I'm glad he's, his prints coming.
• 40:53
  Yeah.
• 40:55
  He's super, super happy about that.
• 40:56
  Good.
• 40:57
  Yeah.
• 40:58
  When did start school, do you.
• 40:59
  I don't like the 13th or something like that.
• 41:02
  Okay.
• 41:02
  Yeah, it's coming.
• 41:03
  There's like a new student day, um, so that they can meet their teachers and kind of get like used to the land, land or whatever.
• 41:09
  It's like an optional day.
• 41:09
  They don't have to go, but yeah.
• 41:11
  Um, and then I think on the 13th is like when everybody starts, it's coming quickly.
• 41:16
  It is.
• 41:17
  I mean, that's just like four weeks.
• 41:18
  Yeah.
• 41:19
  Um, when does Clover start?
• 41:21
  So, freshman first day, cause you know, freshman first day, the week before, it's August 3rd.
• 41:25
  Ooh.
• 41:26
  And I think that's a Thursday and it's half a day.
• 41:28
  Yeah.
• 41:28
  And they get pizza, whatever.
• 41:30
  And then I think they're out that Friday and Monday and that fall of Tuesday's, like the eighth or ninth, something like that.
• 41:36
  And then that's when they start.
• 41:37
  But then they get the, they change their calendar this year.
• 41:39
  Yeah.
• 41:40
  Will Legion follow.
• 41:41
  I don't think so.
• 41:42
  Okay.
• 41:43
  So they get the week off in OC October and the extra week off in February, along with their winter and spring breaks.
• 41:49
  But I don't think that's really applicable to athletes.
• 41:52
  So he won't go to school, but it'll still have practice and we can't go anywhere cause we'll of games well, and I know like a lot of, uh, times the basketball team over that winter break, they'll do, um, tournaments or they'll host like one year they hosted Australia.
• 42:06
  Oh wow.
• 42:06
  Teams that were traveling.
