0:42
SPEAKER_02: And he was like, I don't think I've had it yet.
0:50
SPEAKER_02: That is exactly how I want to be.

5:04
SPEAKER_06: I got to keep on drinking my gym.

SPEAKER_06: But the LBI is following me.
5:12
SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
5:15
SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
5:17
SPEAKER_02: You know, I saw that woman.
5:18
SPEAKER_02: I can't remember her name right off the bat.
5:20
SPEAKER_01: Big Mama Thornton.
5:22
SPEAKER_02: I I saw her play guitar.
5:24
SPEAKER_02: Really?
5:24
SPEAKER_02: In an old it was an old, old, old uh video on it was either Facebook or somewhere like that.
5:31
SPEAKER_02: And I just fell in love with her then.
5:35
SPEAKER_02: She is definitely the mother of soul.
5:38
SPEAKER_02: Or blues, or whatever you want to call it.
5:40
SPEAKER_02: But she is freaking unbelievable.
5:43
SPEAKER_01: She was definitely the one who made Hound Dog a thing at all.
5:47
SPEAKER_02: Right, way before Elvis.
5:48
SPEAKER_01: Way before Elvis.
5:50
SPEAKER_01: She's she's the best.
5:52
SPEAKER_01: And that was her song Unlucky Girl.
5:54
SPEAKER_01: I guess written, I don't know if that's a cover, because that was about that sounds like it was about prohibition.
6:00
SPEAKER_01: She keeps trying to go and drink gin and the FBI keeps busting her for it.
6:05
SPEAKER_01: Maybe maybe gin is code for something else.
6:09
SPEAKER_01: Who knows?
6:11
SPEAKER_01: All those blues singers, they weren't afraid to try their substances.
6:14
SPEAKER_02: No, no.
6:15
SPEAKER_02: And I know a lot of them you know, if you listen closely to some of the older songs like Cab Callaway and some of those guys, uh they they they've been smoking pot a whole lot longer than any of the rest of them.
6:26
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
6:27
SPEAKER_01: We did a whole show on it if you're at all interested.
6:29
SPEAKER_01: I think it's called like Reefer Madness or something.
6:32
SPEAKER_01: And then I played a bunch of old Stoner songs from from the jazz age.
6:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
6:37
SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
6:39
SPEAKER_02: I knew about Cab Callaway, but some of the ones that we actually played on that show kind of kind of blew me away.
6:44
SPEAKER_01: Well, Elephant's Gerald, if I'm not mistaken, has one that's called When I When I Get Down, I Get High.
6:50
SPEAKER_01: And I'm pretty sure she means it more in the like classic sense of like getting high in general, like drinking or or doing something dangerous to feel like elevated.
7:01
SPEAKER_01: Oh right.
7:01
SPEAKER_01: But I for the sake of that show, it was literally she got high.
7:05
SPEAKER_08: That's right.
7:06
SPEAKER_01: Well, listen, we're gonna do you know, to me the third let's let's introduce our show real quick.
7:11
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, okay.
7:12
SPEAKER_01: It is the KSJE Sunday morning wake-up call with my buddy.
7:18
SPEAKER_02: W C and my friend Ren.
7:19
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I know we don't do that opening anymore, but that's what came to my brain first.
7:23
SPEAKER_02: K SJ E 90.1.
7:25
SPEAKER_01: And it's a 13th 90.9 and 1033.
7:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
7:30
SPEAKER_01: At least it's not 13, which is apparently an unlucky number.
7:35
SPEAKER_02: But let me just say this too.
7:36
SPEAKER_02: We're available all over the web at interwestconcepts.com just so that you know.
7:40
SPEAKER_01: Just in case you didn't already know.
7:42
SPEAKER_02: Um and uh let's say that too, about 13.
7:45
SPEAKER_02: I always I have avoided the number 13, no matter what.
7:50
SPEAKER_02: Um I don't know why.
7:52
SPEAKER_02: And when it's Friday the 13th, I mean my butt puckers.
7:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
7:55
SPEAKER_02: You know, it's I don't I don't know.
7:57
SPEAKER_01: But do you know why?
7:59
SPEAKER_02: I really don't.
8:00
SPEAKER_02: I just heard it was always thirteen was an unlucky number.
8:02
SPEAKER_02: That's all I know.
8:03
SPEAKER_01: Okay, well it's I I was looking it up online and I I found something on Encyclopedia Britannica.
8:11
SPEAKER_01: They've got a couple of theories.
8:12
SPEAKER_01: Thirteen is often seen as unlucky because of old cultural stories, especially a Norse myth, where Loki, you know, Loki the chaos god um is the thirteenth guest and causes chaos, and a Christian story where Judas is the thirteenth guest at the Last Supper.
8:30
SPEAKER_01: And then combine that with um when Jesus was crucified, it was on Friday.
8:35
SPEAKER_01: So Friday the thirteenth is just extra unlucky if you subscribe to those beliefs.
8:42
SPEAKER_02: No wonder I don't like the number thirteen.
8:46
SPEAKER_01: I think thirteen's an okay number.
8:48
SPEAKER_01: Being a kid, thirteen is a is a good is good luck to me because it's when you're first becoming a teenager, you're starting to get independent for the first time.
8:57
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to have the bakery.
9:07
SPEAKER_01: No That's what I want this the theme of the show to be almost challenging superstition.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: Because a lot of superstition comes from just fear.
9:17
SPEAKER_01: And it's okay to have fear, it's natural to have fear, it's normal to have fear.
9:21
SPEAKER_01: But if you're afraid of everything, you're never gonna live fully.
9:24
SPEAKER_01: So with each of these superstitions that we're gonna bring up, I'm gonna challenge them a little bit.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: That being said, I also note the fact that some older buildings, maybe like late 19th century, early twentieth century, um, in New York City, they'll just skip the thirteenth floor entirely so that it's not unlucky.
9:41
SPEAKER_02: But see, there's still a thirteenth floor there.
9:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
9:47
SPEAKER_01: It's just technically 14.
9:49
SPEAKER_02: Uh uh remind me after the next break, uh I need to tell you about my grandmother and me leaving the house.
9:56
SPEAKER_02: Um interesting story.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: Okay, I'm writing it down.
9:59
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
9:59
SPEAKER_01: Because I want to keep us on our toes today.
10:02
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I appreciate that.
10:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because it we kinda we'll say we're gonna talk about something and then because I noticed it a couple of shows back that we were gonna talk about something we never did.
10:09
SPEAKER_02: I don't remember what it was.
10:10
SPEAKER_01: No, and then I I hate to leave our listeners hanging, so I'm I'm writing these.
10:14
SPEAKER_02: I know they're just I know they're just sitting at home going dumbass.
10:18
SPEAKER_01: That's probably the biggest reason.
10:20
SPEAKER_01: Leaving them hanging, sure.
10:21
SPEAKER_01: To protect us looking dumb, that's even more important.
10:25
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
10:26
SPEAKER_01: Alright.
10:27
SPEAKER_02: So um So all the songs today are about something about 13, is that right?
10:31
SPEAKER_01: Or lucky or lucky superstition.
10:33
SPEAKER_02: Superstition.
10:34
SPEAKER_01: For example, like this next one I have coming up from Johnny Cash is titled 13, and he kind of talks about how it's an unlucky number to live on.
10:44
SPEAKER_02: We had the lady first, mama, and now Johnny.
10:48
SPEAKER_01: We're getting to it, buddy.
10:50
SPEAKER_00: Bad luck wind blowing at my back.
10:57
SPEAKER_00: I was born to bring trouble to wherever I'm at.
11:05
SPEAKER_00: Got the number thirteen tattooed on my neck.
11:14
SPEAKER_00: When the ink starts to itch, then the black will turn to red.
11:22
SPEAKER_00: I was born in the soul of misery, never had me a name.
11:32
SPEAKER_00: They just gave me the number when I was young.
11:43
SPEAKER_00: Got a long line of hearty, I carried well.
11:51
SPEAKER_00: The list of lives I've broken, reached from here to hell.
11:59
SPEAKER_00: Bad luck wind blowing at my back.
12:07
SPEAKER_00: I pray you don't look at me.
12:09
SPEAKER_00: I pray I don't look back.
12:14
SPEAKER_00: I was born in the soul of Missouri.
12:20
SPEAKER_00: Never had me a name.
12:24
SPEAKER_00: They just gave me the number when I was young.
12:32
SPEAKER_00: I was born in the soul of Missouri.
12:38
SPEAKER_00: Never had me a name.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: They just gave me the number when I was young.
12:51
SPEAKER_00: They just gave me the number when I was younger.
17:11
SPEAKER_01: You can see why I picked it now, even though it's just kind of a cool tune.
17:15
SPEAKER_02: What is the deal about?
17:16
SPEAKER_02: You're not supposed to walk under a ladder or something?
17:18
SPEAKER_01: Yes, that's what it's supposed to be.
17:20
SPEAKER_01: And I thought it was one of those superstitions that was just kind of like common sense.
17:23
SPEAKER_01: Don't walk under a ladder because something might drop on your head, Angus.
17:27
SPEAKER_01: But no, apparently the leading theory of why it's bad luck to walk under a ladder is primarily due to its association with the Holy Trinity in Christianity, as the triangle formed by the ladder symbolizes the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
17:42
SPEAKER_01: And if you walk into it, you're kind of breaking that.
17:46
SPEAKER_01: Breaking that Trinity.
17:48
SPEAKER_01: Though that's a leading theory, you never really know with superstitions.
17:53
SPEAKER_01: I also wanted to be a know-it-all for a moment.
17:55
SPEAKER_02: Okay, yeah, I know.
17:56
SPEAKER_02: You're gonna correct me, and the lady, the Thornton, and whatever Thorpe, I don't know.
18:01
SPEAKER_01: Thorn Thornton and Thorpe.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: It makes perfect sense that you got these two ladies mixed up.
18:06
SPEAKER_01: So in the last bit, I played Unlucky Girl by Big Mama Thornton, who was a big not a guitar player.
18:12
SPEAKER_01: Not a guitar player.
18:13
SPEAKER_01: She was a big inspiration on Elvis, but I think you were thinking of the lady that plays guitar, Big Woman 2.
18:19
SPEAKER_01: Sister Rosetta Tharp.
18:21
SPEAKER_01: Both huge impact on Elvis, both had a last name that began with Thor.
18:26
SPEAKER_01: And both were musicians.
18:28
SPEAKER_02: Okay, so yeah.
18:30
SPEAKER_01: But but you just got him mixed up.
18:32
SPEAKER_01: You just mentioned that she played guitar, and in the moment I was like, what are you talking about?
18:36
SPEAKER_01: This guy doesn't know his rock and roll goddesses.
18:40
SPEAKER_02: Anyway.
18:41
SPEAKER_02: I guess not.
18:41
SPEAKER_02: It kind of made me go, hmm.
18:43
SPEAKER_02: Oh really?
18:45
SPEAKER_02: That's making me go.
18:54
SPEAKER_04: Things that make you go.
18:57
SPEAKER_04: Here's David with things that make you go.
19:01
SPEAKER_04: All your money back.
19:03
SPEAKER_02: Alright, let me just ask you this, Rand.
19:05
SPEAKER_02: Did you ever read the book, The Wizard of Oz?
19:08
SPEAKER_02: No, I never read it.
19:09
SPEAKER_02: Did you know that Judy Garland's uh Dorothy was originally a blonde in the Wizard of Oz?
19:17
SPEAKER_02: See, I got something that made you go.
19:19
SPEAKER_01: That did make you.
19:20
SPEAKER_02: Frank Borum Borum, I think he's Baum.
19:24
SPEAKER_01: Frank L.
19:24
SPEAKER_01: Baum.
19:25
SPEAKER_02: Frank L.
19:25
SPEAKER_02: Frank Baum.
19:26
SPEAKER_01: L.
19:26
SPEAKER_01: Frank Baum, got it.
19:27
SPEAKER_01: We got there together.
19:28
SPEAKER_02: Right.
19:29
SPEAKER_02: Uh the book had origin the original book, Dorothy's hair is blonde and not shown through MGM production staff.
19:38
SPEAKER_02: Um go into the MGM production staff put Garland in a long blonde wig and uh heavier makeup contemporary director George Hatar next to the whole idea, the idea.
19:54
SPEAKER_02: Or the whole idea, believing she looked too artificial and sophisticated to be a rural farm girl.
20:02
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
20:02
SPEAKER_02: Which makes perfect sense.
20:03
SPEAKER_01: No, that does make sense.
20:05
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:05
SPEAKER_01: I I I think Judy Garland was beautiful as she was, so leave her untouched.
20:09
SPEAKER_02: I agree.
20:10
SPEAKER_01: It's very similar, you know, there's another famous change in that movie too, is that in the books they're the silver slippers.
20:18
SPEAKER_01: But to show off the color, they made them the ruby silver.
20:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it made it made them more grand, I think, than making them ruby for the movie.
20:27
SPEAKER_02: In the book, yeah, because your imagination, but in the movie, yeah, they need to be a good idea.
20:32
SPEAKER_01: And and they did that in Harry Potter, I think, too.
20:34
SPEAKER_01: Like I think originally in the book, Harry Potter has green eyes, but they had already casted Daniel Radcliffe with blue eyes, and I might have that backwards, so don't crucify me if I have it backwards, but um the the the contacts that they put in Daniel Radcliffe's eyes, he was allergic to them and couldn't handle them.
20:53
SPEAKER_01: So you know, to not force a little kid to be uncomfortable and crying and red-eyed all day.
20:59
SPEAKER_01: They just said, okay, in this version his eyes are blue.
21:01
SPEAKER_01: So if there's ever any reason that they change something from the book like that to make the actor either more comfortable or make it feel more authentic, I'm okay with it.
21:10
SPEAKER_02: I could not see um Dorothy being a blonde.
21:15
SPEAKER_01: There is a picture out there, I'll show it to you.
21:17
SPEAKER_02: Oh really?
21:17
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I honestly I just don't Yeah.
21:20
SPEAKER_02: You need to be more down to earth.
21:22
SPEAKER_02: I agree.
21:23
SPEAKER_02: I think when I think of blonde, and nothing against brunettes or anything, but blonde is like glamorous.
21:28
SPEAKER_01: That's true.
21:28
SPEAKER_01: Marilyn Monroe.
21:30
SPEAKER_01: That's nothing I love how you're like, nothing against blondes.
21:33
SPEAKER_01: Your hair just looks glamorous and beautiful.
21:37
SPEAKER_02: No, I said brunette.
21:38
SPEAKER_02: Well, I meant brunettes.
21:39
SPEAKER_02: I mean I love all colours.
21:42
SPEAKER_02: Actually, red is starting to be one of my favorites.
21:44
SPEAKER_02: It's just something about red, because the not everybody can be red, and the true redhead has freckles and your pigment, skin pigment is completely different.
21:52
SPEAKER_01: And you know, that's something to be said too.
21:54
SPEAKER_01: Like, if you were to get an actual naturally blonde girl for the role, I'm sure it would work better.
22:00
SPEAKER_01: I've seen rural girls with blonde hair.
22:02
SPEAKER_01: But Judy Garland's colouring just works so much better with her natural brown hair.
22:06
SPEAKER_02: Well, and I and I was with a blonde my my youngest is his mother is what is a true blonde in every shade of the imagination.
22:17
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
22:20
SPEAKER_02: And it's extreme it was extremely cool.
22:22
SPEAKER_02: Obviously it was extremely interesting to me to start out with.
22:26
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, definitely.
22:27
SPEAKER_01: Well, you've seen Derek.
22:28
SPEAKER_01: He's blonde hair, blue eyes.
22:30
SPEAKER_01: So I I tend to be more I tend to be more drawn to the blondes.
22:34
SPEAKER_01: Though whenever I put on a blonde wig, I look bizarre.
22:38
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you've ever seen me with a blonde wing, but it looks weird.
22:41
SPEAKER_02: I did my hair years ago when it was black.
22:44
SPEAKER_02: I did it, uh I did it blonde.
22:45
SPEAKER_02: Spiky blonde.
22:46
SPEAKER_02: Like Guy Pagetti.
22:48
SPEAKER_02: Matter of fact, I did it before Guy did it.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he was actually taking taking notes from you.
22:52
SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't know, obviously not.
22:54
SPEAKER_02: But I had I did my my goatee, I did it solid black and my hair blue.
22:59
SPEAKER_02: Really?
22:59
SPEAKER_02: Where was this?
23:00
SPEAKER_02: In the nineties?
23:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, probably yeah.
23:02
SPEAKER_01: That sounds very nineties.
23:04
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
23:05
SPEAKER_02: And it was right after I got rid of my rat tail, because I had a rat tail for the longest time too.
23:09
SPEAKER_01: Really?
23:09
SPEAKER_01: Was that cool?
23:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
23:11
SPEAKER_01: Rat tails are coming back as cool.
23:13
SPEAKER_02: I know.
23:13
SPEAKER_02: And I started to do it.
23:14
SPEAKER_01: When I was a kid, they were very much they were very much related to like NASCAR fans.
23:20
SPEAKER_01: Maybe not the most uh sophisticated of of people, but um they're they're definitely coming back now and are considered cool now, so I'm eating my words.
23:30
SPEAKER_02: I I had a father-in-law that put a bounty on my top.
23:33
SPEAKER_02: He did.
23:34
SPEAKER_02: And it it made me so mad that I had uh my stepdaughter, his granddaughter, cut it and take it too.
23:42
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
23:43
SPEAKER_01: And she got the bounty.
23:45
SPEAKER_02: He didn't pay her.
23:46
SPEAKER_01: What?
23:48
SPEAKER_02: So I went through it and give her the money.
23:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah That's my tale that you went after.
23:54
SPEAKER_02: Give her the money.
23:55
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
23:56
SPEAKER_02: I think you did eventually, but yeah.
23:58
SPEAKER_01: That's funny.
23:58
SPEAKER_01: You know, you're putting out a bounty, you gotta keep that.
24:00
SPEAKER_01: You gotta keep your word.
24:02
SPEAKER_01: Alright, so we're doing I think we should call this show very superstitious.
24:07
SPEAKER_01: Or we can call it whatever we want.
24:09
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, we've played the superstitious song by Stevie Wonder a lot on this show.
24:14
SPEAKER_01: So I was trying to stay away from it.
24:17
SPEAKER_01: But we're talking about classic superstitions.
24:20
SPEAKER_02: Um we've done Let's call it Lucky 13.
24:23
SPEAKER_01: Lucky 13! Because, like I said, I'm kind of trying to challenge people's ideas of what's unlucky.
24:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, to change your perception.
24:32
SPEAKER_02: For example, change mine.
24:34
SPEAKER_01: For example, um, this next song is called Midnight City by M83.
24:41
SPEAKER_01: And Midnight itself isn't so unlucky as the idea of the witching hour is.
24:46
SPEAKER_01: You know the witching hour?
24:47
SPEAKER_01: Sometimes called the devil's hour.
24:50
SPEAKER_02: I've heard of it, but I don't know what it is.
24:52
SPEAKER_01: It's a time of night when witches and other supernatural beings are believed to be at their most powerful.
24:58
SPEAKER_01: Often said to be at midnight.
25:01
SPEAKER_02: Midnight is at the end of the day.
25:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so this is this is me telling you that sometimes midnight can be a beautiful, cool, mysterious thing.
25:09
SPEAKER_02: Don't chase it at the oasis.
25:11
SPEAKER_01: No, it's Midnight City by M83.
25:15
SPEAKER_01: If only, I didn't even think of that song.
25:18
SPEAKER_02: Oh well.
25:19
SPEAKER_01: Next time, this is a good one too.
25:21
SPEAKER_01: I like it so far.
34:32
SPEAKER_02: I'm watching my step for sure.
34:34
SPEAKER_02: I'm very fortunate to have stepped for 71 years.
34:38
SPEAKER_01: Me too.
34:39
SPEAKER_02: But now I can tell you that I before I never did watch where I was going.
34:43
SPEAKER_02: I've got the lumps to prove it.
34:45
SPEAKER_02: But now, man, I watch every little step of every watch.
34:50
SPEAKER_02: As you should.
34:51
SPEAKER_02: Because I have neurology, neuropathy, neuropathy.
34:55
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, you Okay, you're you're talking about literally too.
34:59
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
34:59
SPEAKER_01: Not just figuratively watching your steps, you're literally feeling like you're not.
35:02
SPEAKER_02: Literally, no, not just for literally watching every step.
35:06
SPEAKER_02: Especially if I'm in uh an unfamiliar place.
35:10
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
35:11
SPEAKER_01: My my question to you is, are you a very superstitious person?
35:14
SPEAKER_02: Um generally.
35:16
SPEAKER_02: You know, I would like to say that I'm not.
35:19
SPEAKER_02: Um but there are certain things that I you know be careful about.
35:24
SPEAKER_02: I mean, uh you know, if a black cat crosses in front of me, I'll still cross the path.
35:28
SPEAKER_01: I mean you know, that kind of stuff.
35:30
SPEAKER_01: Um If it involves like something living, I tend not to think of it as unlucky.
35:36
SPEAKER_02: Well, I have to tell you, when I my grandmother sent me on a trip to the store for something when I was a kid.
35:42
SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's right.
35:43
SPEAKER_02: On my bicycle, and uh out the door I go, and I forgot my wallet or something.
35:48
SPEAKER_02: I forgot some money.
35:49
SPEAKER_02: And I started to come back in and she stopped me at the door.
35:52
SPEAKER_02: She goes, What do you need?
35:53
SPEAKER_02: And I said, Well, I I I left my money in there.
35:56
SPEAKER_02: She handed me a bunch of water money that she had on her.
35:59
SPEAKER_02: She goes, Here, take this.
36:00
SPEAKER_02: It's bad luck to come back in after you started the trip.
36:03
SPEAKER_01: Really?
36:06
SPEAKER_01: Oh.
36:07
SPEAKER_01: Well, now that's gonna haunt me forever.
36:09
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm somebody who's super forgetful.
36:11
SPEAKER_01: I'll like get in the car, get ready for a trip and go, Oh my gosh, I forgot about this.
36:15
SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, that's gonna haunt me now.
36:18
SPEAKER_01: But it won't, don't worry.
36:20
SPEAKER_02: Grandma Lily Lily was a quarter uh Native American, I'm not too sure what I thought it was Cherokee, but I maybe it was Comanche.
36:28
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
36:28
SPEAKER_02: It doesn't matter.
36:29
SPEAKER_01: It she was she had a little bit of an indigenous ancestry.
36:33
SPEAKER_02: Exactly, exactly.
36:33
SPEAKER_02: But she was also the type that um they they hunted her down, the government did, and gave her like a a check for a hundred and something thousand dollars.
36:44
SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
36:45
SPEAKER_02: And so my uncle, my my dad's uh brother-in-law, who's married to my dad's sister, um he's asking her about it, and she goes, I don't want that, just tear it up.
36:58
SPEAKER_02: I don't want it.
36:59
SPEAKER_02: Because I didn't do any I didn't do anything to deserve that.
37:02
SPEAKER_02: I don't want that.
37:04
SPEAKER_02: A woman of honor.
37:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, my grand my my uncle was like, Really?
37:08
SPEAKER_02: Are you sure?
37:10
SPEAKER_02: Nope.
37:11
SPEAKER_02: I didn't I did nothing to earn it.
37:14
SPEAKER_02: I do not want it.
37:15
SPEAKER_02: That's fair.
37:16
SPEAKER_02: And I thought that was kind of cool.
37:18
SPEAKER_02: That's pretty that's pretty hardcore.
37:20
SPEAKER_02: My uncle was telling us the story.
37:21
SPEAKER_02: I said, Well, she could have given it to her grandchildren.
37:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
37:25
SPEAKER_01: Given it to her grandchildren.
37:26
SPEAKER_01: That's my first thought is I mean, that money's not going anywhere.
37:30
SPEAKER_01: She might as well cash it and then give it all to the church or give it all to the orphanage.
37:34
SPEAKER_02: Well, see, that was kind of discussed with her later, and she was like, No, it is not my money to give.
37:41
SPEAKER_02: It's not my money, period.
37:44
SPEAKER_01: She goes, uh Why were they giving her a hundred thousand dollars?
37:47
SPEAKER_02: Well, it it was more than that, it was a hundred and something thousand, but because she hadn't got any of her the benefits that she was entitled to prior that the Native Americans do get.
37:57
SPEAKER_02: Because we took their land.
37:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, reparations.
38:01
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
38:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
38:02
SPEAKER_02: Um, and and my dad has been, I mean, he was raised pretty much the same way, so I guess I I I can tell you though, Rand, if somebody knocked on my door and said, Here's you a check for$180,000 for being a white guy.
38:18
SPEAKER_06: I'd just go, okay, great.
38:22
SPEAKER_01: Oh, think it.
38:23
SPEAKER_01: Here's$180,000 for just being a real cool dude.
38:27
SPEAKER_01: There you go.
38:29
SPEAKER_01: That's funny too.
38:30
SPEAKER_01: I feel the same way.
38:31
SPEAKER_01: If somebody's gonna give me money, I'm like, well, alright.
38:35
SPEAKER_02: I'm also the type of guy that I share that wealth.
38:38
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, it'll either some of it'll go to friends.
38:40
SPEAKER_02: Obviously, some of it'll go to you and you know the kids.
38:43
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'd uh I would take whatever I needed to seriously.
38:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but most of it's gonna build some good karma.
38:49
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
38:50
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
38:50
SPEAKER_01: Definitely, which is good karma is a little opposite from what this show is about.
38:55
SPEAKER_02: Well, we're trying not to make it bad karma, but it can be.
38:58
SPEAKER_02: It can be we're gonna call it Lucky Thirteen.
39:00
SPEAKER_01: Lucky thirteen, and we're kind of challenging superstitious beliefs.
39:04
SPEAKER_01: Like with that last song we played, that was Black Cat by Janet Jackson.
39:08
SPEAKER_01: And you kinda brought it up briefly, like that's that's maybe a superstition that you don't believe in.
39:12
SPEAKER_01: If a black cat crosses your path.
39:15
SPEAKER_01: It's probably fine.
39:16
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm and then it prompted me to say if it involves something living, I'm not gonna treat a living thing like it's bad luck.
39:25
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
39:25
SPEAKER_01: That just feels unfair.
39:27
SPEAKER_02: It's a creature of earth, man.
39:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:29
SPEAKER_01: Though I was looking it up.
39:31
SPEAKER_01: Black cats this is also from Encyclopedia Britannica.
39:35
SPEAKER_01: Black cats are considered bad luck in some cultures because superstitions that link them to witchcraft became common in Europe and the Americas during the 14th to 18th centuries.
39:46
SPEAKER_01: In Western beliefs, black cats are sometimes seen as witch familiars and crossing paths with one uh was thought to bring misfortune.
39:54
SPEAKER_01: And I just disagree with that.
39:56
SPEAKER_01: I'm of the mind that witches are good luck, so that's me.
40:00
SPEAKER_02: You know, I can't really think of any superstitions right off the bat that I that I that I do.
40:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
40:06
SPEAKER_01: I know I have one.
40:08
SPEAKER_02: Um I know you have one because in a ride-along that we did with Ken, you kept hitting the roof.
40:16
SPEAKER_01: That is a superstition.
40:17
SPEAKER_01: I didn't even think about it.
40:19
SPEAKER_01: When I was a teenager, my buddy Kelsey, who I visited this summer in Japan, um, she taught me that uh to ward off getting pulled over by a cop, if you run a red light, you have to hit the roof of the car.
40:33
SPEAKER_01: I might be getting that mixed up with something else.
40:35
SPEAKER_01: But ever since then, when I run a red light, I hit or not a red light, uh a yellow light.
40:40
SPEAKER_01: A yellow light.
40:41
SPEAKER_01: If I run a yellow light, then I hit the roof of the car.
40:44
SPEAKER_01: And it's helped me out so far.
40:47
SPEAKER_01: Except for that one time where I was pulled over by a car.
40:52
SPEAKER_01: But uh nine out of ten ain't bad.
40:56
SPEAKER_02: There's something in that too.
40:59
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
41:00
SPEAKER_02: I I I I I honestly I don't um I don't think about stuff like that.
41:07
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I I really don't.
41:09
SPEAKER_02: Uh maybe I should be more digital.
41:13
SPEAKER_02: I I felt like I'm very fortunate in my life.
41:16
SPEAKER_01: I'm No, absolutely.
41:17
SPEAKER_01: I think if you just focus on the good, oftentimes it's gonna overcome the bad.
41:22
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
41:22
SPEAKER_02: That's the thing to do.
41:24
SPEAKER_02: I I know people go through life focusing on the bad and they're miserable.
41:29
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
41:29
SPEAKER_02: Why?
41:30
SPEAKER_02: You have two choices when you get out of bed in the morning.
41:33
SPEAKER_08: Yes.
41:33
SPEAKER_02: You can either be happy or you can be pissed off.
41:36
SPEAKER_08: Yes.
41:36
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
41:37
SPEAKER_02: I choose to be happy, and I tell myself in the morning when I get up when my bones are aching and my neuropathy is setting in, and I can barely walk to get to the bathroom, wet myself, I still say to myself, I choose to have a good day.
41:53
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
41:54
SPEAKER_01: And that's why I go back and I tell people, as somebody Okay, so admittedly I have an anxiety disorder.
42:00
SPEAKER_02: Like Yes, you do.
42:01
SPEAKER_01: Like the definition of it where just everything will be fine, and the neuroreceptors or whatever you call them in my brain that are responsible for fear will suddenly just fire off for no reason.
42:12
SPEAKER_01: I will be calm, everything will be fine, I will be safe, and I feel like I'm about to die.
42:17
SPEAKER_01: To me, that's an anxiety disorder.
42:19
SPEAKER_01: So go easy on people.
42:20
SPEAKER_01: I think a lot of superstitions revolve around just being afraid and wanting to have control over something that ultimately, in the end, you can't you can't control.
42:31
SPEAKER_02: My advice when you get up in the morning, say look in the mirror when you're shaving or whatever it is, brushing your teeth.
42:37
SPEAKER_02: Look in the mirror and say, Nothing or no one is gonna piss me off today.
42:42
SPEAKER_01: Hell yeah.
42:43
SPEAKER_01: I won't let you ruin my day.
42:45
SPEAKER_01: There you go.
42:46
SPEAKER_01: That's what my grandpa says.
42:48
SPEAKER_01: Okay, now I got another song for us.
42:50
SPEAKER_01: This is more of a superstition rather than specifically a bad luck thing.
42:53
SPEAKER_01: This is something that I do constantly to this day.
42:57
SPEAKER_01: Um, knocking on wood.
42:59
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna play a song called Knock on Wood by Amy Amy Stewart.
43:02
SPEAKER_01: Is it Amy Stewart?
43:03
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, but it is Amy Stewart.
43:05
SPEAKER_01: But knocking on wood, this is from historyfacts.com.
43:09
SPEAKER_02: I have done that.
43:10
SPEAKER_02: I so yeah.
43:11
SPEAKER_02: I'm knocking on wood.
43:13
SPEAKER_02: Okay, so I have that one.
43:14
SPEAKER_01: Knocking on wood is considered good luck.
43:16
SPEAKER_01: The practice may have roots in ancient beliefs that trees were inhabited by spirits that could offer protection.
43:23
SPEAKER_01: So when you knock on that wood, you're kind of you're kind of waking them up.
43:28
SPEAKER_01: And I wonder if that's what Amy Stewart was doing in this song.
43:30
SPEAKER_01: Knock on wood.
43:31
SPEAKER_01: That's the one.
43:33
SPEAKER_01: So hopefully this will bring you a little bit of good luck amidst all this super.
43:38
SPEAKER_01: There you go.
47:20
SPEAKER_04: Well, Rand has developed her own language as well.
47:23
SPEAKER_04: Here she is with English.
47:28
SPEAKER_01: Redlish for you in the superstitious day.
