- 0:02Speaker 1: Now, I don't know if you saw this the other day,
- 0:04Speaker 1: but Jenna Bush Hager was showing off a birthmark that
- 0:09Speaker 1: she has that she had talked about. A boyfriend once
- 0:13Speaker 1: upon a time broke up with her for what which
- 0:16Speaker 1: is an insane move.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Yeah, insane move. I cannot that's so rude. What possibly
- 0:25Speaker 2: could this birthmark have been?
- 0:27Speaker 3: Right?
- 0:28Speaker 4: Could?
- 0:29Speaker 5: I mean?
- 0:29Speaker 3: And she like works in television? Yeah? Okay, if it
- 0:33Speaker 3: was that right, it was so horrible, we wouldn't be
- 0:36Speaker 3: seeing her.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I know she is other than being Bush's daughter, right,
- 0:40Speaker 1: That's that sounds so terrible.
- 0:42Speaker 3: It's a vain industry, that's right.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Well, so that had got me thinking, here, is there
- 0:46Speaker 1: something about you that's a little bit different or maybe
- 0:50Speaker 1: just weird or strange or whatever that you're really proud
- 0:53Speaker 1: of and you think is really cool actually as opposed
- 0:56Speaker 1: to being a reason someone would break up with you
- 0:59Speaker 1: for seven's zero one two eight zero eight seven?
- 1:04Speaker 3: Do you have anything like that, Angie.
- 1:07Speaker 2: That I'm like proud of, You know what, I'm proud
- 1:10Speaker 2: of myself that I can uh yap away on air
- 1:15Speaker 2: without problem Because I don't know if you know this, Gabe,
- 1:19Speaker 2: but I have a tongue tie in the front of
- 1:22Speaker 2: my tongue. My little my friendulum this little like I
- 1:28Speaker 2: don't know how to describe this, like I can't stick
- 1:30Speaker 2: my tongue out all the way. It's like forked because
- 1:33Speaker 2: the tip of my tongue is tongue tied to the
- 1:36Speaker 2: bottom of my gum.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Don't they have kids, Like, don't they cut those off
- 1:40Speaker 1: for kids?
- 1:40Speaker 3: Sometimes they do? And I do know what you're talking. Okay, yeah,
- 1:45Speaker 3: so I have that.
- 1:46Speaker 2: And when I was born they noticed, but they were like, oh,
- 1:49Speaker 2: she's a little The year was nineteen eighty seven, so
- 1:51Speaker 2: maybe they weren't as versed in these kind of snippy
- 1:54Speaker 2: snips as they are now. But back then they were
- 1:57Speaker 2: concerned about doing it when I was so little, so
- 1:59Speaker 2: they were like, we gotta wait till she's older. Then
- 2:02Speaker 2: when I went back because I was older, they were like, well,
- 2:04Speaker 2: does she even have any problems talking? And my mom
- 2:07Speaker 2: was like, this girl will shut up. Ever, no, she said,
- 2:10Speaker 2: I know, she's always stocking. She's always stocking. And so
- 2:15Speaker 2: they were like, do you care if we just like
- 2:16Speaker 2: leave her with the tongue time and she made the
- 2:19Speaker 2: call and it's fine, but it is unique and the
- 2:22Speaker 2: only thing is I had to learn to roll my
- 2:24Speaker 2: rs with like the back of my throat instead of
- 2:27Speaker 2: my tongue because I can't do that.
- 2:28Speaker 3: But oh sure, Rojo, see I can still do it
- 2:32Speaker 3: so well. Yeah, so it didn't hold you back? Really, no,
- 2:34Speaker 3: that's cool.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I there's nothing that immediately jumps out to me
- 2:38Speaker 1: except these two things combined into one.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Okay, so you and I have had a conversation about
- 2:45Speaker 3: this before.
- 2:45Speaker 1: But I am a true middle child, right, oh yeah,
- 2:48Speaker 1: And we have an odd number of kids in our family.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I have an older brother, younger sister, so I am
- 2:54Speaker 1: quite literally the middle. There's not like two of us
- 2:57Speaker 1: in the middle where we can kind of buddy up.
- 2:59Speaker 1: And we're both middle. I am the only middle kid
- 3:02Speaker 1: in my family. And I'm left handed, so I am
- 3:05Speaker 1: all sorts of screwed up.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, no, why I use the wrong hand
- 3:10Speaker 3: for well, actually I use my right hand for a
- 3:12Speaker 3: lot of stuff. But you get the point. You know
- 3:13Speaker 3: what nobody notices because you're a middle child.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Exactly exactly my point. All right, You see, I see
- 3:19Speaker 1: what I go through on a day to day basis.
- 3:22Speaker 1: We do have Justin on the phone, Justin, what's something
- 3:24Speaker 1: you know unique or different about you that.
- 3:26Speaker 3: You're proud of. Man, I am atererochromia, and that means
- 3:29Speaker 3: I have two different color eyes.
- 3:30Speaker 4: My right eye is brown and my left eye is green.
- 3:34Speaker 3: That's rectally hot. Dope. Yep, that's really dope. I don't
- 3:37Speaker 3: know if I've ever seen a person with that. Oh
- 3:40Speaker 3: my cousin is like that, and everybody thought he was
- 3:42Speaker 3: so fine.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Really yeah, I don't know if I've been out in
- 3:45Speaker 1: the wild, didn't notice that. All right, we do have
- 3:48Speaker 1: Brooke on the phone, Brook, what about you.
- 3:50Speaker 3: I can think just.
- 3:51Speaker 5: About anything, whether it's awkward, random, or serious, and turn
- 3:55Speaker 5: it into a conversation people want to stick around for.
- 3:58Speaker 5: It's like my brain's wired for I'm pretty proud of that.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Sounds like, well yeah, because small talk is brutal. Sounds
- 4:05Speaker 3: like sounds like she should have this job. Oh yeah,
- 4:16Speaker 3: all right. Here's the thing. Sorry, not sorry.
- 4:20Speaker 2: I do not believe in paying it forward. At the
- 4:24Speaker 2: drive through when you go to get your coffee and
- 4:27Speaker 2: you pull up to the window and they say, oh,
- 4:29Speaker 2: the person in front of you paid for your coffee,
- 4:32Speaker 2: do you want to pay for the coffee behind you?
- 4:34Speaker 3: Absolutely? I don't because it's always that.
- 4:37Speaker 2: I it's always that I am going through and I'm
- 4:42Speaker 2: ready to pay for my medium oat milk latte, But
- 4:45Speaker 2: now you want me to pay for three caribou combos
- 4:47Speaker 2: and a strawberry fruit shaker for Beverly and her co workers. No,
- 4:51Speaker 2: absolutely not. I don't got money like that. I just
- 4:54Speaker 2: want to spend my money on my drink. So when
- 4:58Speaker 2: it comes to paying it forward at drive through, call
- 5:01Speaker 2: me Kalisi baby, because I'm breaking the chain. I absolutely
- 5:05Speaker 2: do not pay it forward. And I feel like it's
- 5:09Speaker 2: a crime. I feel like it should be outlawed. I'm
- 5:12Speaker 2: not into it. And if you're a barista seven oh
- 5:16Speaker 2: one two eight oh one ninety eight seven, I always
- 5:18Speaker 2: heard that baristas don't even like this because it ruins
- 5:21Speaker 2: what's on their screen, Like it's hard to keep track
- 5:24Speaker 2: of the order that's on their screen versus the order
- 5:27Speaker 2: that they're giving out when someone decides to start one
- 5:29Speaker 2: of these chains. If you want to pay it forward,
- 5:31Speaker 2: pay it forward in a different way, but don't make
- 5:35Speaker 2: me pay thirty seven dollars for a fruit shaker combo
- 5:39Speaker 2: situation for someone I don't even know, Gab, why are you.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Looking at it?
- 5:43Speaker 3: I was just wondering if you feel I was gonna
- 5:46Speaker 3: let you keep rocket. I got it off my chest,
- 5:48Speaker 3: doumb feel better? Yeah, all right, Yeah, that is a
- 5:50Speaker 3: good question though.
- 5:51Speaker 1: If you're a barista, do you hate the pay it
- 5:53Speaker 1: forward line seven oh one two eight zero one eight
- 5:56Speaker 1: seven thing that Angie had to get off her chest
- 6:01Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. Far you know you're sorry, but
- 6:03Speaker 1: you're not sorry at all.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, not sorry.
- 6:06Speaker 2: I think we need to put an end to paying
- 6:09Speaker 2: it forward in the drive through line. I don't believe
- 6:13Speaker 2: in it. I fully believe in breaking the chain. Just
- 6:16Speaker 2: pay for your own stuff.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Yeah, and I understand why someone might like to do it.
- 6:21Speaker 1: You think you're helping out the person behind you, or
- 6:23Speaker 1: it's like the first person in line is really kind
- 6:27Speaker 1: of sort of the only one helping out if you
- 6:28Speaker 1: think about it, Yes, the first person's helping the person
- 6:31Speaker 1: behind them. But if everybody in line is paying it forward,
- 6:35Speaker 1: no one's really paying forward.
- 6:36Speaker 3: We're all just paying exactly so exactly what I do.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Get why people like it, and you know, if it
- 6:43Speaker 1: makes you feel good, go ahead and do it or whatever.
- 6:46Speaker 3: But we do have someone online, good morning, who's this?
- 6:49Speaker 4: Hey, this is Jack so I have a story in
- 6:52Speaker 4: regards to this pay it forward at the drive through
- 6:57Speaker 4: or whatever. I am absolutely not a fan. There's a
- 7:01Speaker 4: small I live near a small town and there was
- 7:05Speaker 4: a guest or the coffee shop and I went through
- 7:09Speaker 4: and they're like, oh, pay forward, and I'm like, you know,
- 7:12Speaker 4: that's just not my thing.
- 7:13Speaker 5: I like to pay it.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Forward in other ways. And they literally roasted me on
- 7:17Speaker 4: their Facebook page and said, oh, somebody came through and
- 7:20Speaker 4: broke the chain. I just can't believe that they did it.
- 7:24Speaker 4: And I was so offended. I was like, could not
- 7:28Speaker 4: believe that they were roasting me over it.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I am offended for you. They're dead to me, and
- 7:33Speaker 2: you're a woman after my own heart.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I will let any business know if that ever happens
- 7:37Speaker 1: to me. I am going outside. I'm going to find
- 7:39Speaker 1: the nearest bug and I'm going to throw it in
- 7:41Speaker 1: my drink and post them was found. Did you have
- 7:50Speaker 1: any irrational fears growing up? The reason I asked this
- 7:56Speaker 1: is I saw randomly this episode of rug Rats on
- 8:02Speaker 1: TV the other day, and do you remember the episode
- 8:04Speaker 1: where they're worried about if you swallow the watermelon seed,
- 8:08Speaker 1: you'll have a watermelon grow in your stomach. Yes, somehow
- 8:12Speaker 1: was on my television yesterday and one of the as
- 8:14Speaker 1: I was scrolling through, like the kids channels or whatever.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Yeah, And that got me.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Thinking, there are things when I was that young I
- 8:21Speaker 1: was so irrationally afraid of. For example, when I was
- 8:25Speaker 1: a kid, I was terrified to sleep with my legs
- 8:28Speaker 1: stretched out all the way. I would sleep like kind
- 8:31Speaker 1: of curled up in a ball. For whatever reason, I
- 8:34Speaker 1: was convinced there was a snake at the foot of
- 8:37Speaker 1: my bed.
- 8:38Speaker 5: What.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I have no idea why. I don't know where that
- 8:42Speaker 1: came from. I don't have a clue. But I was
- 8:46Speaker 1: mortified of that as a young kid, which is probably
- 8:48Speaker 1: why I'm not the biggest fan of snakes.
- 8:50Speaker 3: To this nick that's so wild.
- 8:52Speaker 2: So you're scared of snakes now because you made up
- 8:55Speaker 2: a weird fear when you were little and there was
- 8:58Speaker 2: a snake at the end of your bed.
- 8:59Speaker 1: I'm sure I saw on a show or in a
- 9:00Speaker 1: movie or something, kid, but I just us all forever.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I only grew to be five nine.
- 9:06Speaker 1: I didn't let my muscle stretch out the whole way
- 9:08Speaker 1: as I was a developing young man.
- 9:10Speaker 3: You could have been six foot tall. Did you have
- 9:15Speaker 3: an irrational fear like that angel?
- 9:17Speaker 2: You know what I did? I used to be scared
- 9:20Speaker 2: to brush my teeth. I would still do it, but
- 9:24Speaker 2: because I thought that little hole in the side of
- 9:26Speaker 2: the sink, like in the sink, yeah, yeah, I'm talking
- 9:29Speaker 2: about I thought that the devil lived inside there.
- 9:33Speaker 3: I don't know why.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I thought like, oh no, if the devil's gonna attack,
- 9:41Speaker 2: it's coming from my sink.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:43Speaker 2: So when I would brush my teeth, I would be
- 9:44Speaker 2: like all the way on the farthest side I could,
- 9:48Speaker 2: and my sister was always like, what is going And I'm.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Like, because the devil lives in there.
- 9:52Speaker 2: But my older sister did nothing to swinge my fear.
- 9:55Speaker 3: She was like, oh, yeah, you're right right right.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Well.
- 9:59Speaker 1: I had posed this question sit on the big ninety
- 10:00Speaker 1: eight point seven Facebook page, like, hey, what was it
- 10:02Speaker 1: irrational fear you either had growing up or maybe you
- 10:05Speaker 1: have it as an adult. And I do love this
- 10:08Speaker 1: one from Ryan the bathtub drain, which is kind of
- 10:11Speaker 1: this is kind.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Of a long line with that one's more rational, I think.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Yeah, he was absolutely convinced that it would suck him down.
- 10:18Speaker 1: The drain started taking showers at three years old, same drain,
- 10:23Speaker 1: except no danger while there's a shower going as opposed
- 10:26Speaker 1: to a bath. I suppose with a bath though, you
- 10:28Speaker 1: let the water out and you see it all swirling, Yes, and.
- 10:31Speaker 3: It makes that sound that yeah.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Towards the end, yup and then Jessel, I don't know
- 10:36Speaker 1: if this is necessarily irrational per se. I think this
- 10:40Speaker 1: is a pretty healthy fear, maybe, Okay, Jessel says yes.
- 10:43Speaker 3: Living in Seattle, I worried.
- 10:45Speaker 1: An earthquake would happen and I would be in the
- 10:47Speaker 1: wrong place at the wrong time. Here's the irrational part,
- 10:50Speaker 1: and I would be swallowed up in a big crack
- 10:53Speaker 1: in the earth. It only happens in movies, really, those
- 10:57Speaker 1: big giant like the Earth.
- 10:58Speaker 3: What's right down the Wahnia.
- 11:00Speaker 2: That's not a Seattle problem, honey, that's a Cali problem.
- 11:04Speaker 1: And then the last one is from dez Duckworth. She's
- 11:09Speaker 1: she's so stressed that her knees will bend back the
- 11:13Speaker 1: wrong way. That actually would be so painful. I think
- 11:17Speaker 1: that's once again kind of a healthy fear.
- 11:19Speaker 3: That's a new irrational fear. Unlocked.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Angie won't be able to walk to her office after
- 11:24Speaker 1: the show seven one two eight zero one nine eight
- 11:29Speaker 1: seven give us a call, sure to a text? Do
- 11:30Speaker 1: you have an irrational fear that you'd be willing to
- 11:34Speaker 1: admit to us this morning?
- 11:42Speaker 3: Butterfly in the y I can go twice.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Yes, a reading, especially in the summer when it seems
- 11:55Speaker 2: like maybe you have.
- 11:55Speaker 3: More time to read.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Well, the Chicago Sun Times released a reading list for
- 12:02Speaker 2: the summer that you can, you know, go to the beach,
- 12:05Speaker 2: lay on the chair and just be a literary cutie.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Right.
- 12:12Speaker 2: The issue is this reading list that the Chicago Sun
- 12:16Speaker 2: Times printed.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Like a national publication.
- 12:18Speaker 2: National publication, very well respected, was filled with a bunch
- 12:24Speaker 2: of books that aren't real.
- 12:26Speaker 3: They were.
- 12:29Speaker 2: There were books that were generated by AI. So whoever
- 12:33Speaker 2: was writing this summer reading list, I think just hopped
- 12:37Speaker 2: into chat gp crap. I need a summer reading list
- 12:41Speaker 2: to My deadline is Thursday, please.
- 12:45Speaker 3: And so there were real.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Books on the list, but then there were also fake books.
- 12:50Speaker 2: And here's the thing, Gabe, I want to know if
- 12:54Speaker 2: you would have been able to tell the difference.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Oh, I'm a literary goat, you know. I've read Harry
- 12:59Speaker 1: Potter about a thousand times.
- 13:01Speaker 3: That's all I got for you excellent, Okay. So I'm
- 13:05Speaker 3: going to read you three.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Titles with a little description, and you have to tell
- 13:10Speaker 2: me which one is fake?
- 13:13Speaker 3: Okay, all right? Which one is fake? Which one is fake?
- 13:16Speaker 2: Okay? Night Shade Market a riveting tale set in Soul's
- 13:20Speaker 2: underground economy, following three women whose paths intersect in an.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Illegal night market.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Boiling Point a climate scientist forced to reckon with her
- 13:30Speaker 2: own family's environmental impact when her teenage daughter becomes an
- 13:34Speaker 2: eco activist targeting her mother's wealthy clients. Atonement, a series
- 13:40Speaker 2: of misunderstandings and a lie told by a young girl
- 13:44Speaker 2: changes multiple lives forever. Of these three books that were
- 13:48Speaker 2: listed in the Chicago Sun Times Reading list, which one
- 13:53Speaker 2: was generated by Ai?
- 13:55Speaker 3: Okay?
- 13:56Speaker 1: I my guess would be, what's the third one called Tonements?
- 14:00Speaker 3: Okay? That just sounds too generic.
- 14:03Speaker 1: That's why it seems to me something Chad Gpt would
- 14:05Speaker 1: come up with, be like, oh, there's a billion shows
- 14:07Speaker 1: about this girl who lies and whatever.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Okay, Son is your answer?
- 14:14Speaker 3: That's my guess, okay, Gabe.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Of the three book titles I read, only one of
- 14:21Speaker 2: them was real.
- 14:23Speaker 3: So I tricked you there a little bit, all right,
- 14:26Speaker 3: And what did I say though? That sounds like a
- 14:31Speaker 3: super common story.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Yeah it does, but that's the only real one. Night
- 14:35Speaker 2: Shade Market and Boiling Point are fake. Here's the pivot.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Someone needs to write these books because they sound like
- 14:44Speaker 2: they'd be great.
- 14:45Speaker 3: There's a freebie for some author out there. This is Jessica.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Last week, an unnamed good Samaritan performed a SEP for
- 15:01Speaker 1: a PC approximately twenty minutes and eight twenty minutes on
- 15:05Speaker 1: an eighty seven year old twenty minutes on an eighty
- 15:09Speaker 1: seven year old after he had collapsed during his daily walk.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Paramedics arrived after and transported him to the hospital, where
- 15:17Speaker 1: he is now recovering. The eighty seven year old has
- 15:20Speaker 1: a daughter named Gloria, who is deeply grateful and trying
- 15:23Speaker 1: to find the person responsible for saving her father's life.
- 15:28Speaker 1: Medical experts say every minute counts during cardiac arrest, and
- 15:32Speaker 1: immediately starting CPR dramatically improves the person's likelihood of surviving.
- 15:37Speaker 1: The quick actions of this random passerby were critical in
- 15:42Speaker 1: maintaining blood flow and giving this man a chance until
- 15:45Speaker 1: emergency help arrived. The family credits the CPR effort as
- 15:49Speaker 1: the reason he's alive today. Now this guy his daughter.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Her name is Lucy. She hasn't been through a whirldwind
- 15:58Speaker 1: of an ordeal with her family after they had recently
- 16:01Speaker 1: lost their daughter three years ago to a cardiac arrest.
- 16:05Speaker 1: She was known for her kindness and positivity, and she
- 16:08Speaker 1: says this stranger's act feels like a tribute to her spirit,
- 16:12Speaker 1: describing it as a second chance for the family.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Oh I love that. That's incredible. Just this random person, yeah,
- 16:21Speaker 3: who wasn't doing it for klout the likes for clicks.
- 16:24Speaker 1: They were yeah out getting a bag of skittles and
- 16:27Speaker 1: just happened to save someone's life. It's just incredible, and
- 16:30Speaker 1: it's pretty much a prime example of this quote. The
- 16:34Speaker 1: world is full of nice people. If you can't find one,
- 16:36Speaker 1: you gotta be one.
