  Speaker 1: a lady. She got arrested. She found somebody's dog. And
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: this happened over in Marin County. She found the dog.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And then she looked it up, looked the lady up
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: on Facebook because the dog had his own Facebook account
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and told the person, hey, and send her a picture.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I got your dog. And she said, OK, bring it.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: She goes, no, I need a thousand dollars.

  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So they located the lady at her home. She still
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: had a little dog named Teddy. And here's the funny part.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: She admitted.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: She said, yep, I plan to keep him unless she
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: gave me that money. Is that illegal? Yeah. Yeah, I mean,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: it's all in the way you word it. Yeah, because
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: that is ransom.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you say, hey, I found your dog,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and you know it was dirty, so I paid to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have him washed, and I did this and the other,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and hopefully they'll give you a reward. But no, she
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was arrested Sunday night. She faced charges of grand theft,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and she was released on.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: A $ 2, 500 bond.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Dang.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But can you imagine somebody, oh, my God, you found Teddy. Yeah,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I got Teddy right here. Oh, my God, bring it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I was going to cost you a G.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know. I'm not surprised by that.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: At all.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Me neither.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: That's why I was like, is that illegal? Hey, in Vegas,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: lose your phone. Lose it. Oh, yeah. That happened to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: our president.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yes. And the guy straight up told us, no, I
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: got your phone. And this is what I need.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not shocked at all. And she paid it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And she paid it. And the thief was honest.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Gave the phone back. But she said, yeah, I got
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to pay. I'm like, wow. You love your dog, right?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Is there a reward?
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, how about the reward's $ 1, 000? And she said, yeah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Would you plan on keeping the dog? Yes, a nice
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: little dog. I'm going to go get it. That's just
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: jacked up, man. All right, B, they asked Billy Crystal.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: He's been married how many years? 56. And what was
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the question they asked him? He's an OG actor.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: They asked him the trick to staying together for 56 years,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: because that's not easy to do. He said two words,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: ask her. Now, it didn't sound like he was joking.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: It sounded like he was being real about the answer.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Two words. And he said that applies to every scenario. Okay.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Just ask her. Okay.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: And if someone wants to ask me, now, Brian, ask
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: me that question. Give your best two-word relationship advice.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Don't know.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Same.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Don't know. What about you, Brian? I mean, what would
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you do?
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Because obviously you're the successful one in relationships here.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Two words.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I would say, okay, truthfully, the two words is your last.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Because I'm the last person I think about in my family.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Make sure my son's good. Make sure my wife's good.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I'm last. I'm last. If I was being honest, I
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: would say that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Therapists would say that's not good.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: You're last. That's not healthy. That's what the therapists say. Yeah, probably.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: It's kind of like the whole face mask situation. In
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: a plane, you put your face mask on first, your
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: oxygen mask. Yeah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Because if you ain't got no oxygen... You ain't got
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: no options. You don't exist.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Raise your hand if you're married. I'm sure this is
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: just visual, so it's for the live stream. So tell
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: your therapist.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Now.

• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Like four years. All right, Ray, what advice you got

• 5:21
  Speaker 6: One.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Billy Crystal married about 50 something years. Ask him, yo,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: so what's the secret? And he just said, What was it?

• 5:32
  Speaker 1: successful relationship. Two words that you can give to people
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that you feel that was successful in your relationship. Got
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a pair of tickets to come out with Pride the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: After Party in downtown coming up on this weekend.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of people calling from Orlando. Marissa from Orlando,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: good morning. Yes, good morning.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: All right, what are the two words in a successful
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: relationship that made you successful?
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I say same decision all the time.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Same decision. Same decision. Same decision. And I'm sure that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: has to do with raising kids. Same decision.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yes, sir. Yes, ma'am. All right. You hold on
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a second there. Another one from Orlando. Preston, good morning.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Good morning. Good, Preston. Two words. Advice for
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: anybody in a relationship. What's yours?
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Just listen.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Just listen. And is there a reason you say that?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Or is it something you've learned in being in a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: successful relationship?
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Because sometimes they don't want solutions. They don't want your input.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: They're just trying to vent and trying to give them
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: something they don't want. It's going to end up leading
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: to an argument or.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I read that somewhere. They said sometimes when you're in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a relationship, they just want to talk. They don't want
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you to solve it. Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: They just want you to hear them. That's hard for me.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And that's the hard, yeah. I'm a fixer, so I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: want to fix it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't want that. They just want to be heard. Okay,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: just listen. All right, Preston, you hold on a second.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And another one from Orlando.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mary. Hi, how are you? Mary, you're in a
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: successful relationship?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am.

• 7:15
  Speaker 3: No secrets.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: No secrets. And why do you come across this one?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Because secrets, you know, they just, they're not good. You
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: should tell each other everything.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: Secret secrets are no fun.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yes. No secrets. Okay. All right. She said that because secrets.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: They're secrets, Brian.

• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Give grace. And explain that one.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: So you're in a relationship. So we all know we've
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: got like our kids and, you know, everything going on. But,
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: you know, usually we work separate jobs and stuff. You
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: got to take that into consideration, what they might be
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: going through at work, the hard day that they had.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: And you just got to give them grace and say, okay,
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: you know, my husband comes home and he looks moody.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I know I didn't do anything wrong, but maybe something
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: at work happened and I shouldn't get on him for
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: leaving stains all over the countertop.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: So I'm just going to give him that for his
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: hard day.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: A very mature statement you're making right now. Very mature.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Because you know them stains. He done told them a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: hundred times and they are there again. But you say,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you know what? He might have had a bad day.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I won't get on him now. I'll get him later today.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Later, absolutely. All right, give grace.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Ms.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Ray, what you got?
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Some people understand two words, but somebody said.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of people don't. Spoil him. Yeah! That's what
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about. God first.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Never go to bed angry. That's a hard one. Too

• 9:19
  Speaker 2: a comma in it. Brian, what do they say? A
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: lot of them on the XL mobile powered by attorney

• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Shimmy Sean! I heard you're in the hospital. I'm glad
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you're okay. Shimmy, baby, shimmy. And then someone said feed.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And then I can't say the other word, but it
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: does start with an F. Okay.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Wow. Jen from Claremont, you got yourself a pair of
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: tickets to come out with Pride in Orlando, the after party.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: One for Mimicry and go one magical weekend. And Rae,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you saw this from what, Grand Theft Auto six.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah so they're posting it and like promoting it obviously
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: since it comes out next month um but they were
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: saying that the american dream for grand theft auto six
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: used to be like get rich travel the world live
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: some extravagant life but now it's literally to just own
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: a home and not have credit card debt that's the
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: american dream Wow. And so I'm like, it's sad that
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: it's just that simple now.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Or it's hard to be that simple. I mean,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: how hard it is now for a young person to
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: own a home.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: That is definitely a dream. And credit card debt, well,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you got to stop debt before it starts.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: You got to nip that one. Yeah, 29% interest, no joke. Oh,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: no joke.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And they want you to pay the minimum. Please, please
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: pay the minimum. But, Rae, what is it for you?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: You know, along those lines.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: that's pretty much it to not have debt and own
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: a home again, you know, like, and it sucks because
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: it's like, if you have any, um, not downfall or
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: if like, you know, you get divorced, you get fired.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Call them just temporary setback.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You, it's hard to come back.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: It is so hard to come back.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: From that, but you can, and it feels wonderful when
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: you do.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: And you take advantage of all those things. So I
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: would say owning a home, okay. Having a retirement set
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: up officially, like, you know, obviously I do, but like
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: a lot of Americans don't anymore have a retirement.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Brian, what is it for you?
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Like, I mean, I own my house, so, but I mean,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: I don't own it, own it. The bank owns it
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: until I'm done paying for it. So for me, it
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: would be paying off. um, the house and no debt
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: would be great. Those things allow you to build other
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: things because that's your biggest expense is your, your, your home,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: your lodging.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: But for me at this point, it is making sure
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: that I decide when I don't work anymore.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: That's for me what it is.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Cause I mean that, that I don't want to have
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: to work at, 70.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I want to choose to be.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: A Walmart greeter if that's what I want to do
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: because I want to say hi to people.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Not because I have to to keep my lights on.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: And you're the one smiling as a 70-year-old greeter because
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you know you're doing this because you want to. Because
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I want to. That's why you have that smile on
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: your face. You just want to get out of the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: house for.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: A couple hours.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: It's so funny because I didn't have anyone to tell
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: me those things, but that's what I drill into my
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: son now. He's only 21, but I'm like, bro, work
• 12:14
