- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for our American mama's. Dear mama's,
- 0:02Speaker 1: would you ever take a baseball away from a little
- 0:04Speaker 1: kid at a Major League baseball game? Well, let's ask
- 0:08Speaker 1: Marrack and Mama Mama. Hey, Jordys, Now we're American mama's.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Terry Edeville and Kimberly Burlesson. Now y'all are baseball kind
- 0:27Speaker 1: of people. Terry, I think you've spent more time at
- 0:31Speaker 1: a baseball game than you have maybe in church. And
- 0:35Speaker 1: you go to churchill lot.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Too, my happy place. I love it.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Okay. So there's a foul ball flies up and there's
- 0:44Speaker 1: you know, everybody in the stands trying to reach for it,
- 0:46Speaker 1: and there's a kid right in front of you about
- 0:49Speaker 1: to grab the ball. What do you do.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I would catch the ball if it came to me
- 0:54Speaker 2: and give it to the kid. That's just what you do.
- 0:57Speaker 2: You don't take the kid's ball. You don't do that.
- 1:00Speaker 1: So this has been the thing because apparently there was
- 1:03Speaker 1: a lady at Philadelphia Phillies. I guess people are calling
- 1:06Speaker 1: her the Philadelphia Karen, the Karen, the Philly Karen talkers
- 1:11Speaker 1: through what happened there.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Well, she was at the game a father. Actually the
- 1:15Speaker 3: ball fell near the lady in her group. The dad
- 1:19Speaker 3: and the road next to them comes running, grabs the ball,
- 1:22Speaker 3: runs to his son. It's his son's birthday, and he
- 1:25Speaker 3: gives the ball to his son. Well, Philly Karen was
- 1:28Speaker 3: not going to have it, and she walks right over
- 1:30Speaker 3: to that dad and she starts laying into him that
- 1:33Speaker 3: this is her ball. Well the dad, he shrugs his
- 1:36Speaker 3: shoulder and he hands the ball to the Karen.
- 1:38Speaker 2: And she takes it from his own son takes it
- 1:40Speaker 2: from his son.
- 1:41Speaker 3: And you can tell there's a little struggle there with
- 1:42Speaker 3: the son, and the daughter gives it to the Philly
- 1:45Speaker 3: Karen and the entire internet erupted.
- 1:50Speaker 2: We're in the era of phones. You're going to be
- 1:53Speaker 2: captured on video no matter what you do. So you
- 1:56Speaker 2: had every angle of this Karen. She didn't just walk
- 2:02Speaker 2: over there. She stormed. She stormed like she was one
- 2:04Speaker 2: of like a principal that was going to break up
- 2:07Speaker 2: a fight. You know she was. You could hear the music, yes,
- 2:10Speaker 2: But what was so interesting to me is when I
- 2:12Speaker 2: saw it, I thought, well, did she catch it? First year?
- 2:15Speaker 2: Because you've seen these videos where someone catches the ball.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Then rips it out of her hands. I thought, Okay,
- 2:21Speaker 2: if that's the case and she wants to be that
- 2:23Speaker 2: little about it, okay, she can be. But that's not
- 2:26Speaker 2: what happened. She her hand probably did touch it because
- 2:28Speaker 2: there's a bunch of people right there, but it didn't
- 2:31Speaker 2: land in her hands. It land on the ground. So
- 2:33Speaker 2: that's when it's like up for grabs. If you can
- 2:35Speaker 2: get in the middle of that pile and grab it,
- 2:38Speaker 2: then whoever comes up with it is it. Well, she
- 2:40Speaker 2: went over there, and it was so interesting because she
- 2:43Speaker 2: did have you know, she marched over there and she
- 2:45Speaker 2: was going to get that ball. She did not care
- 2:47Speaker 2: the whole nation was watching her at that moment. She
- 2:50Speaker 2: felt very I would say virtuous about it. She felt
- 2:52Speaker 2: very entitled to that ball, and the father, not wanting
- 2:57Speaker 2: to make a stink, was like, fine, whatever the ball
- 3:00Speaker 2: from his birthday boy gave it to her. She marches back
- 3:03Speaker 2: over her seat like she had done something really good.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Exactly. Well, the internet went crazy, and so they start
- 3:08Speaker 3: the investigation begins with the internet's loose. So they come
- 3:11Speaker 3: up with a name and they say she's Catherine whatever.
- 3:15Speaker 3: What was the wrong person?
- 3:16Speaker 1: Oh no, And so doks the wrong person.
- 3:18Speaker 3: They docks the wrong person. So then they come out
- 3:21Speaker 3: and they say that the owner of the Phillies says
- 3:24Speaker 3: that she's no longer allowed to come to the stadium.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Well that's not true. So whoever, I don't know who
- 3:30Speaker 3: the real Karen is, but everyone hates her and so apparently,
- 3:35Speaker 3: and I don't know this part, but it's been said
- 3:37Speaker 3: that she can't go anywhere without being booed, and so
- 3:40Speaker 3: she doesn't want to leave her home. So it made us.
- 3:43Speaker 3: It makes me think about you know, she's in this moment,
- 3:46Speaker 3: Think about all of us if we get really angry
- 3:47Speaker 3: in a certain moment, Imagine if there's cameras on us
- 3:51Speaker 3: and everyone decides that we've lost our minds where the
- 3:53Speaker 3: worst person? Ever? It went too far? I think it's
- 3:57Speaker 3: scary the way the internet just has completely attator.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Well just what two weeks before that, there was a
- 4:03Speaker 1: CEO of a company, yes, who was at another baseball game.
- 4:06Speaker 2: He deserves all the booze, and.
- 4:08Speaker 1: He took a baseball away from a kid. And then
- 4:10Speaker 1: when he was confronted about it, he defended his actions saying,
- 4:14Speaker 1: you only get in life what you take. That's what
- 4:15Speaker 1: I tell my kids yeah, really.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a jerk. And his wife even had
- 4:21Speaker 3: made a statement herself, and even the White was like, hey, kid,
- 4:24Speaker 3: this is how you learn. Yeah, they're worthy of hate.
- 4:29Speaker 3: They are.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't know all that, but I did. I
- 4:31Speaker 2: sent Kimberly the screenshot. I said, did she really say this?
- 4:34Speaker 2: Because there's you know with AI. Yeah, it looks like
- 4:36Speaker 2: that she may put out some sort of statement where
- 4:39Speaker 2: she was like Karen, Yes, the Karen from the Phillies.
- 4:42Speaker 2: And so I didn't know all of that, but I
- 4:45Speaker 2: saw that she read that she lost her job. That
- 4:48Speaker 2: may or may not be true if it were me,
- 4:50Speaker 2: and I was in a moment of just I lost
- 4:53Speaker 2: my mind, and that was me and that's not who
- 4:55Speaker 2: I really am, but just in that moment and then
- 4:57Speaker 2: it was captured, I would.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Be front center on video.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would say I lost my ever loving mind.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I'm so freaking embarrassed, kid. Yes, your next birthday you
- 5:09Speaker 2: got tickets to the World Series. I'm so embarrassed. I
- 5:12Speaker 2: apologize to my family because this is ridiculous. I saw
- 5:16Speaker 2: so right, I would do that, that would be endearing
- 5:18Speaker 2: to people. Exactly, But the like you said, the CEO
- 5:21Speaker 2: that came out and doubled down. We're all like, I
- 5:24Speaker 2: hope your business fails, you know, And it happens a
- 5:28Speaker 2: lot like when I when you see adults take balls
- 5:31Speaker 2: from children. The good news is the players always find
- 5:35Speaker 2: out and they all the kid always gets like an
- 5:37Speaker 2: autographed batball cap works out to good like it did
- 5:40Speaker 2: for this kid.
