  Speaker 1: Now this is true. If you're in your thirties, forties, fifties, eighties,

  Speaker 2: How do you just trust people more? I meet?
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: What so?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: This study in the Netherlands found that having a trusting
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: attitude makes us feel happier and more satisfied with life.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And just like any other kind of muscle or any
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: other trait you're trying to learn, it gets easier and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: easier the more you do it. I feel like there
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: are two kinds of people in the world, either one
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: or the other. There is no middle with trusting people.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Trust is something like someone has to earn from you,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you build it over time or and I would fall
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: into this category. I just trust anybody and everybody the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: second I meet them, and then they give me reasons
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to not trust.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Oh gotcha.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: If anyone in the FM area is trying to scam,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Gabe will instantly.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Gonna work instantly. I am a salesperson's favorite sale. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: am an online fake scam's favorite person to scam.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, have you ever been catfished?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Well, you have to be really trusting to get catfished.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I will say, you know what, now that you've gotten
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: more in depth, my sister is someone who I think
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: trusts too easily.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I am the opposite.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I've eying myself always being like, what why did you
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: tell that person that VB She's gonna.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Like snitch on you, Like she just is very.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Trusting with like all her co workers. And I'm always like, no,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: you gotta watch what you say, keep your guard up.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: And I will say, I think she's happier than I am.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: So so hey, it's the shoe fit.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So it can be a hard thing to sort of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: just flip a switch, but if you can manage it,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it will make you a happier person.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: And then so then the happier I am, then I
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: guess just the more trusting I become.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. They kind of correlate.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Oh all right, well this feels like I need to practice.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: It right now. You need to practice this right now? Yeah, right,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Today's variety Big ninety eight point seven. Who's this Ashley?

• 2:56
  Speaker 5: I trust no one?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Oh no, okay, well we can be miserable together. Misery
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: loves company.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Like you said, trust to earn, it's very hard to earn.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: But I am also like guilty and health proving incent.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Oh that's the energy I like it can be.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe you're just trying to protect yourself, you know, very much.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: So absolutely, if this were a rom comslum guy would
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: say to you, you don't always have to be so tough,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sure I hear that quite often. They're like,
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: why are you like that? And I thought, well, you know,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: when you get burned quite a bit, you just kind
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: of you become untrusting of people. So it is like,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: you gotta you gotta prove yourself to me otherwise go away.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Very do you have a little big three today, Angie?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I have one. It's not great by any means.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: But it's pretty funny if you can just visualize what
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: happened to me.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, I can't wait to hear yours.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Mine is a I think this is a continuation from yesterday,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: although I feel like I've blacked out and have no
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: recollection of what yesterday was like. However, my boyfriend, Mikey,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: he's on the road. Yesterday he was in he had
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: crossed over into Wyoming.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: By the time we leave this studio today, Gabe, he
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: will be here in Fargo officially to live.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm very excited.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: He's on the road as we speak, and I don't know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: I feel like really giddy about it. And then tonight
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: at the Fargo Police Department community picnic, he's gonna come
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: with me.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's wonderful, though.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You'll get to meet him for the first time.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, do you know when he'll be here?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Approximate least?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to math this early in the morning.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I know that he had eight hours left to drive,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: but I don't know exactly when he started driving.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fine, all right.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Well, who I was gonna say, there might be a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: tiny chance that someone bikes past your house at some
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: point today if he's around. Oh my gosh, yeah, yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: we'll see. I love it, my little victory. I want
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you to visualize this.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I was doing five things at once, right. I was
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: grilling up some food for when Corey got home from work.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I was putting together this. I don't even know what
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you'd call it. It's not like a dog bed, but
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it's like those little raised platforms with like the mesh
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that a dog can kind of lay on.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, so a chill spot for the dog.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it has shade over it, so yeah, when
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it's hot out, there's at least a shade spot for
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And I was just trying to do all these things
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: at once, right, and I open up my fridge and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I'm gonna drink whatever this was.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I think it was a doctor pepper.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: As I pull the doctor pepper out, I have no
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: clue what I clipped, what I nicked whatever, This thing
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: exploded high heavens. I mean this everywhere, right, And I'm
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: trying to do, you know, all these things at once,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: and I quick wiped down inside of the fridge. I'm like, oh,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: this is like it wasn't that bad, and mostly just
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: got me yeah, and so I go back to doing
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I'm doing. Corey gets home from work, and what the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: hell happened in here?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, what you know? I was just.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Like, what do you mean?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, this doctor pepper hit the other side
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of the kitchen is on the ceiling.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was everywhere, But.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: You didn't realize.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I had no clue what I was trying to do
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: all these things once. I was trying to be a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: good hobby and get the food done before Corey got
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: home and she can just walk in and eat it
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: instead of sit there and kind of wait for me.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Huh huh.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: The only little victory I have is years ago I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: bought this super feather light like step stool kind of thing,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you know, sy three four whatever steps.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I got to use it for the first time for
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: its real purpose.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, I had to stand on this thing
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to clean off my ceiling. I spent like forty five
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: minutes wiping down all of the things that I didn't
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: know that this pop yeah hit.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: That's so great. I'm really excited that you got to
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: use the step stool for its intended purpose.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Was satisfying you.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever washed a wall in
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: my life. I spent forty minutes doing that yesterday. Oh
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: my gosh, what a mess. But it was cool to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: use the step stool.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: How we reached the ceiling? Yeah?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Are we living amongst psychos? I will tell you there.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: It was a research study that looked into dark personality
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: traits that can be found in people and to see
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: where in the US the most psychopaths live. Essentially, what's
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: wild to me is that this study took place over
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: the course of twenty years and included almost a big sample, yes,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: almost one point eight million people. So they really were like,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: we really need to find out who the psychos are.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: And so the traits that they were looking for were psychopathy, narcissism,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: and macavelianism, which is manipulativeness or the desire or urged
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: to exploit others.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, I thought it was just an opening word in
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: a Tupac song.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: That too, my guys, that gets too.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: So the top four states where you can find the
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: most psychle.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Path Can I guess? Can I guess one?
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Wisconsin?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: No, but now I need to know who you know
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: in Wisconsin?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Why I know a few people there. I just I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: think there was a few serial killers from Wisconsin.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, no.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: It gets even worse, all right, So New York it
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: makes total sense.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people there. Yeah, that's just a
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: numbers game. Texas, a lot of people there.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: South Dakota, our neighbors, our neighbors to the south.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Psychopaths down there.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I guess that, Gabe. Didn't you tell me that someone
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: in this building is from.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: South We do have someone from South Dakota in this.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I think you should be worried.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I don't feel worried, though, because the fourth state is Nevada,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: and that's where I'm from.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Oh god, I'm surrounded by possible psycho path yes.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Wow, sorry sorry, not sorry? No, you know what.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I like to think that because I moved out of there.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: It's like, oh, yeah, no, I didn't fit the mold
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: for a psychopath, so I had to move.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Agree.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I'm a perfectly mentally stable woman, that's right.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I am so sick of this, Gabe.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I'm so sick of when a food opinion pops up
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: online and everybody band wagons onto it with a passion,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: and the one that I cannot stand the most is
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: this ridiculous notion that everyone hates pineapple on pizza.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: You're lying.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: There's no way that as many people that have come
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: out and been like, oh my god, pineapple on pizza
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: so gross, Like you're not that passionate about it. If anything,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: you're indifferent and you just don't order the pineapple on
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: your pizza and you move on with your life. But
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: there was this like big wave over the last maybe
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: like five years where everyone's like, how dam.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: They put off, for real, down a pizza.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Like everyone was up in arms that people who were
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: putting pineapple on pizza, and it's like, bro, we've been
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: doing this four years.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: It's not that big a deal.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: But then Gordon Ramsey chimed in and was like, that's
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: an abomination putting pineapple on pzza. That's absolutely disgusting, And
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: then everyone really got yeah, Gordon Rams's right, I can't
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: believe you, but pineapple on your pizza you're a disgusting
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Calm down, you liar. There's no way you care that
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: much about pineapple and pizza. I just do not agree.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: And sure, are there people who don't like pineapple in
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: general as a thing. Yes, our program director he doesn't
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: like pineapple in general.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Gabe, are you a pineapple fan in general?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I hate you?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Hate pineapple?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Strange enough love pineapple juice? Oh okay, kind of weird.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I'm a weird duck when it comes to things, all right, But.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: That makes sense to me.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: If you have a pineapple to me is horrid, right,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: And because you hate pineapple in general, so that I get.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: But people who have no issue with pineapple and then
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: the second it touches a slice they're like, why, Yeah,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: you're such a liar and it's a weird flex Like,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: why are you so passionate about it? I just think, like,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: don't yuck other people's yum. And if the hill you're
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: gonna die on is that pineapple doesn't, well, I'm on pizza.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: You need more adversity in your life. Okay, to take
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: a quote from GAMEE, that is something so silly, then
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you need more adversity in your life.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Sorry, not sorry, hating pineapple on pizza that much. It's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: not a personality.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, oh my gosh, that's right.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Hating pineapple on pizza is not a personality.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Go find something else to be passionate about.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: AI has been all over the news for the last
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: few years with all this worry that oh, no, AI
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: is going to take your job. AI is going to
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: take your job. And there was a company called call Sheet,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: which is like a financial exchange company, something I would
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: know about because I'm financially dumb. But they did an
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: ad that aired during the NBA Finals. I think it
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: was like Game three, and it was a completely AI
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: generated commercial for their platform. And it only cost two
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars to make this ad using just AI wow.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: And usually it takes a lot more money, especially if
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: it's like a bigger budget commercial, like one of those
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: commercials that has like a lot of bells and whistles
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: to it. It's like a production styeah exactly, and it
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: costs way more than two thousand dollars to make this ad.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: And this was a successful ad. It went out without
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: a hitch. It did well. Everyone in the ad had
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: their fingers because you know, that's the big thing with
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: AI generated videos and photos is that once you get
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: to the hands, it's like, oh, that's AI because no
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: one has seven fingers on one hand, right.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so it was fine and dandy, and.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: So now you know, ad companies are the people who
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: are coming up with these creative ideas and whatever. They're like, oh,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: wait a minute, is AI going to replace us? And
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: so it begs the question, like, how many jobs, what
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: fields is AI going to replace? And are you worried
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: about it? Seven one, two, eight oh one to nine
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: eighty seven? Are you worried that AI is going to
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: come for your job? I know for us, Gabe, you
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: and I, we're in the radio business. And there was
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: a big push maybe like a year ago, a year
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: and a half ago, for AI to take over as
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: radio personalities, and it did not go well because there's
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: just something that you can't recreate with AI, which is
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: like that personal connection, the personality traits of an AI,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Like that's not the same as having someone who actually
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: is like living and breathing and living in the area
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: that they're doing radio. Like Gabe and I we live
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: in South Fargo, we hang out in the FM Ario,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: we're here live every day, and AI can't do that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: AI can't go to the Fargo Police picnic today right now,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: so we will.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Be at that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: And also it's just I always kind of look at
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: our job is you know, we're just lucky that hopefully
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: one person feels like they're just hanging out with their buddies.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's sort of how I go about my mornings.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I agree, And it just is not the same if
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: like it's well, I can't really talk like, hey, how
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: with AI?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Alvin just doesn't hit Yeah, AI Alvin can't make these.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Jokes whenever it might make better ones.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: But when we have listeners call in, like we answer,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: we get to talk to them, we get to connect
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: with them, and that's something that's exciting. So for now,
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: I feel like we're safe. Hopefully, hopefully, it all depends
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: on us.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I think you right, right.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: All right, we do have Brent online. Brent. What about you, Manka,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: what are you worried about with AI? In your job?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I work at a grocery store.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: I'm not too worried about AI because I don't think
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: stocking shills at a grocery store is high on the
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: list of things AI is going to. Oh you know what, No,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I feel like that's true in that when you think
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: of AI, I feel like it's more like techie jobs,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: things that aren't tangible. Right.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, No, have you been to a restaurant where they
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: have the robots server? If they have robot servers. They
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: definitely can make robots shelf people.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're not making Brett feeling.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: We're not trying to make Brent Field mad. I'm just
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: saying I think.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: That's right possible in terms of like priorities.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think grocery store is the first.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Sure, all right, that's fair, ti Ya. What about you?
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm a graphic designer, and yeah, it makes me
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: very nervous, but I think people will still want that
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: human touch. You know, personality can't be auto generated, that.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Is true, and it's really hard to get the amount
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: of fingers right on the hand with aig Gains.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Good News of the day is about a twenty nine
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: year old who has gone a twenty nine year old
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Swiss man excuse me, who has undergone a successful double
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: hand hand transplant nearly seventeen years after losing parts of
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: his arms and legs due to a severe infection.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: This man's name is Luca.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: He initially received prosthetic hands, but the prosthetics had limitations
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and he still struggled with basic daily tasks, as I'm
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: sure you could imagine. Then in twenty sixteen, he started
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: working with doctors at Penn Medicine on a possible hand transplant.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: After years of preparation and setbacks, last year, Luca traveled
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to Philly to await a suitable donor. A few weeks later,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a match was found through the Gift of Life donor program.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: The ten hour procedure, performed by a large team at
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Penn Medicine, was the hospital's first hand transplant surgery since
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and was described as a medical marvel.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Yes that's what it sounds like.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Now recovering in Switzerland, Luca is undergoing ongoing physical therapy
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and slowly regaining function and sensation in his new hands.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: He shares that he can now perform tasks that were
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: previously impossible, eating with his hands, holding a cup, using
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: a smartphone. Reflecting on his journey, he calls the experience
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a miracle and adds that he has a deep feeling
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of being whole again as a human. Imagine those who
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: are unfortunate to have to maybe lose their hands or
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: at some point maybe this could get to toes and legs,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and yeah, it has gotten to be medically possible to
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: get some of that back. I think that's incredible. I
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: think of just like veterans who return home who sadly
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: have lost limbs. Maybe at some point they'll be able
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to get those back. I don't know how often you're
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: gonna find a hand donor, Sadly, not many people are
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: just giving those up, you know.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: It's usually people who sadly pass away.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Or right right right, I'm an orgon donor, though I've
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: in the event of my well, I will die eventually,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: but I am a donor, so I would be so
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: happy if my hands went to someone.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I would totally agree with that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're kind of small and wrinkly, but you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: you gotta take what you can get.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: The world is full of nice people. If you can't
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: find one, you gotta be one. Congratulations to Luca
