1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 Trashcan presents that one guy that peaked in high school. 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Hey man, it's so good to see you. Is that you, Chris? 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Hey man, I haven't seen you since high school. What's it been? You know, 10, 20 years dude? What are you up to now? 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000 Yeah, something like that. Something like that. 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:27,000 Nothing much man, just working this part-time job, you know, still living with my mom and the cats. 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000 But oh bro, bro, have you been by Wallace High School lately? Have you been around there? 7 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000 Dude, I have not been back there since I graduated. Never have been back. 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Bro, Mr. Kistler's still there. And dude, we got him so good last week with his shaving cream prank bro. 9 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,000 It was so cool. Like, I mean, the senior class, it was fantastic. It was a great prank bro. You should have been there. 10 00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Wait, so you're telling me you went back last week and pulled a prank with the senior class last week? 11 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Yeah dude, dude, I haven't missed a football game, a pep rally, nothing bro. 12 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Sometimes they even let me lead the pep rally dog. Like, I'm telling you, like, it's so great. It's so freaking great. 13 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000 It's just like being back there bro. It's so, dude, you should come sometime. Like, it's so awesome. 14 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:27,000 Yeah man, I think I'm good. I mean, we're 40 year old guys and I just, I don't know, it's a little weird going back to hang out at your old high school 15 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000 unless you got kids there and I don't got kids there. Do you have kids there? I guess. 16 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,000 No man, man, you know, my wife left me a long time. It's not even that big of a deal. 17 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000 But what is really cool man is the wrestling team went to state this year bro. 18 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000 And I was asking for like this Letterman jacket because like I was kind of like a coach and stuff like that. 19 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Like, I mean, not really officially. Like I just kind of showed up and told him when to run and stuff like that. 20 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000 But I figured I should get like a Letterman, don't you? 21 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Yeah, I don't know man. Hey, actually, I gotta go bro. My wife, my wife expected me home like five minutes ago. 22 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000 So yeah, I gotta go buddy. 23 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000 Bro, you should come hang out sometime. Like you should come hang out sometime. Like I'm telling you like there's this big party tonight. 24 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000 You should come out. 25 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000 Yeah, yeah. No, I think I'm good man. I think I'm good. 26 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000 Definitely, definitely do not want to be hanging out with a bunch of teenagers from high school. 27 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000 Yeah, definitely not. 28 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000 I'll catch you later though. It's good to see you man. 29 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 I'm Michael. Hi, I'm Chris. 30 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:40,000 And this is the Donut Box Podcast. 31 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:48,000 Well, buddy, we're in the season three already and episode three and it's the Christmas season. 32 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Tiss the season. It's the holidays, bro. 33 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:57,000 Yeah, yeah. So be checking yourself. Don't be getting sick. Ain't nobody got time for that. It's the holidays. 34 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Yeah man. So we want to shout out all those listeners that have been listening from internationally down in Singapore over in Australia in the Middle East. 35 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:18,000 We appreciate you guys. Our European folks have always been A1 since day one in France and the UK and Ireland, Italy. Where else have people been listening from? 36 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000 Man, here's stateside. We got to shout out to our home state, the Lone Star State. 37 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:35,000 And all the way up into the Midwest as well. Iowa, even into the Ohio River Valley, Ohio, all that good jazz man. Illinois, Indiana up in there as well. 38 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Even up in the Northeast we're gaining listeners and down in the Southeast Georgia, Florida. 39 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:50,000 And man, even out West, up in Washington, Oregon, California, it's really just been growing, dude, all over the freaking place. It's great. 40 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Yeah, I got to love it, man. Well, we are so excited that you guys are here listening to us on your Monday morning or whatever day of the week you choose to listen to. 41 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000 But we're going to go ahead and get started with our old fashioned donut, which is a story from our past. 42 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:12,000 And last week we started a kind of a new series about people from our past, people from the church that we used to go to. 43 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:20,000 And we named the church, for you, Hope. Last week we talked about Crazy Jeremy, Bernard, and Mr. Ken, and it was great. 44 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,000 But this week we have some other characters that we want to talk about. So Mike, I'm going to let you take the lead on this. 45 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:35,000 All right. Well, the very first person we could talk about, I think everybody has kind of a quintessential church do-gooder kind of guy. 46 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:43,000 And I'm going to talk to you about what should we call him, man? HH. We call him HH. 47 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Oh, yeah. We can call him Herman. That's what we can call him. Herman. 48 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Herman. Yeah, there we go. So Herman was the typical, I guess, like I said, kind of that church do-gooder. 49 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Like, I mean, he was really into everything. He was kind of a middle-aged guy. But what was really, really off, and, you know, we just did that whole bit about, you know, 50 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:14,000 Dude Can't Get Out of the Past and whatnot. Not saying that was him. But the crazy thing was, is he would talk to everybody, 51 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:22,000 whether it was, you know, teed-agers all the way up to the oldest person. He would, like, go across a, and this wasn't a small church, 52 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000 but he would go, like, across the atrium, across the floor, you're just a shake your hand and be like, oh, it's good to be in the presence of the Lord today. 53 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000 You remember that? 54 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Yeah. And there's nothing wrong with people like that. I think what Micah is saying is, like, it was almost like, it was, he was so nice that it was almost phony. 55 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:46,000 And, like, I swear that fool never stopped smiling, bro. Like, it was almost like he had a perpetual smile on his face. 56 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000 And that's what kind of made it a little weird is because he was just, he would smile and you would never see him with, like, a regular face. 57 00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:00,000 And he was just perpetually smiling the whole time. But during the time, this is pre-COVID, they don't really do this anymore. 58 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,000 But churches used to have the part where it's like, hey, turn around and greet your neighbor, shake everybody's hand. 59 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000 And that's what Micah was talking about. Like, during that time, if he saw you, if you made eye contact with him, if you locked eyes with him, 60 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:22,000 it doesn't matter if you were up in the balcony and he was down on the main floor. If he out liked eyes with you, he would walk all the way up to the balcony just to shake your hand. 61 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Speedwalk. 62 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Speedwalk, too. 63 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Speedwalk. 64 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,000 It's like, you were his target, bro. He be-lined it for you. And he had that smile on his face the whole time. 65 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:41,000 Well, and I think the main thing, too, is he over-talked. I think that was my biggest problem with him is, uh, it's not necessarily, you know, coming up, shaking my hand and, you know, that sort of thing. 66 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:51,000 Cool. That's fine. But like, Homie would just keep on going and going and going. It's like, okay, this conversation was over like 10 minutes ago, because most of the time it was really about nothing. 67 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:58,000 So I think that was my main thing. And you got to understand, folks, I am not a morning person. So I'd be showing up to church, right? 68 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:06,000 I see my buddy Chris like, hey, Chris is here. That's great. Did what happens? Then I got this guy coming up to me, talking to me a little close. 69 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000 He always had coffee bread, too. You remember that? Homie always had coffee bread. 70 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:17,000 Here's the thing, and people that always have coffee bread, they're always close talkers. I don't know what that is. That's like the... 71 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000 I don't know why. Yeah, I don't know why. 72 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:28,000 It's like the cardinal rule. Like, if you have coffee bread, you are automatically a close talker, like, in your space. And that's what, uh, I almost said his real name. 73 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000 That's what Herman was like, man. But he was just interesting. 74 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:43,000 But a funny thing about Herman, this guy was so nice. Well, this was in the days that churches were getting shot up. 75 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000 Like, people just walk into churches and shoot the congregation and everything. 76 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:54,000 I remember one time the pastor did a message, and we didn't know that Herman was part of the message, part of the object lesson. 77 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:02,000 But like, in the middle of pastor preaching, Herman just like walks up to the front and he goes, Pastor Bo, Pastor Bo, and da, da, da, da, da. 78 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:09,000 And he was like interrupting a sermon. And dude, like, apparently pastor had not told the security team that this was gonna happen. 79 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:16,000 So you got this guy, like, be lining it to the front. And they were ready to take him down. They were ready to take him out. 80 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:24,000 But luckily they didn't. But it just caught everybody off guard because we were like, is this part of the show? Like, what is this? 81 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Well, and let's be honest. So a couple of things, too. So let's break this down. He was also a very nice and friendly guy. 82 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000 I've got to think about the guy we're talking about. Close talker, very nice and friendly. Over talker, overly friendly. 83 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000 As bad as it is to say, watching him rush down to the front, I was going, oh yeah, it makes sense it'd be him. 84 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000 You know, I mean, as bad as it is, it's like, oh, yeah, he snapped. 85 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,000 He finally does snap. 86 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,000 They snubbed him for a spot, you know, a volunteer spot or something. And he finally just snapped. I don't know. 87 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:03,000 But so the security team was also the usher team. So it was also, you know, the people that collected the cash money. 88 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:10,000 And I remember we were, you know, we've talked about this before. I guess at that point we were more like casual ushers. 89 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:16,000 Like whenever we could hide out and get away from them, we wouldn't be ushers, but then sometimes we would be. 90 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:23,000 So we would still be a part of their meetings. And one of the meetings right before that was talking about, okay, I mean, it was like a week or so before that. 91 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:29,000 It was like, okay, if this happens and we went through the whole plan, if there was an active shooter situation and all that other stuff. 92 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000 And then here comes, oh boy, what the package right up the main aisle the next Sunday. 93 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000 Oh yeah, I forgot to say he had a package in his hand that he was bringing to the front. 94 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,000 So that's also another cause everybody that was like, holy crap, like, is this part of the show? 95 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000 Like, and it was a little scary, but. 96 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,000 And he was shouting too. It wasn't, you know, it wasn't like, oh, you know, it was, you know, like, like he was saying, it was an awesome show. 97 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Like he was saying it was an object lesson to where it was supposed to be. Okay, you know, God's delivered a package, whatever the heck it was supposed to be about. 98 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:09,000 But still, you know, he full on got taken down. Like they like, they didn't take him down full on, but they like grabbed them, you know, and the pastor had to be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's a part of the. 99 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000 Could have told us next time. 100 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,000 One more side story about Mr. Herman. I almost said his name again. 101 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:25,000 So if you remember, we talked last week about my mother being on a prayer team and whatnot. 102 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Pretty much what happened one time is they went up and Mr. Herman said, pray for me because I have hemorrhoids. 103 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:50,000 And yeah, so guess who decided to put that in an email and blast it to everybody like didn't put it in discretion or anything. It's just like prayer warriors pray for pray for Mr. Herman and his hemorrhoids. 104 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000 So the whole like a lot of the people in the church knew that he had hemorrhoids. 105 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000 That was a typical maternal unit. 106 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000 We're glad in everybody's business. 107 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,000 That's messed up. I'm telling you, that's like the number. That's like prayer team 101, bro. 108 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:15,000 Like somebody tells you unless they're like about to do something illegal or they have done something illegal or they're going to hurt themselves or others, you're supposed to keep that confidential. 109 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,000 Yeah, you email the other people like you can email a bunch of people like pray for so and so, you know, but like be discreet. 110 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000 Don't say what it is unless they give you permission to do so. 111 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:32,000 The next one we're going to talk about is Pastor Brad. Pastor Brad was our missions pastor. 112 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,000 He was also over the whole, I guess you would call it AVL team now, but the whole tech team. 113 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000 And he was actually the head pastor's son and we loved Pastor Brad. 114 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Now, he did do some things that were not not great. 115 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:57,000 I mean, that would be considered, I guess the term is moral failures by the church community. 116 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000 I mean, that's a term for it. 117 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000 But without putting all of his business out there, but we love Pastor Brad. He was kind of fun. 118 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:13,000 As bad as it is, there are a few people in life to where you're like, there are some things that they've done at the side and it's a little shady, but you're like, it's Pastor Brad. 119 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000 It's all good. It's Pastor Brad. 120 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,000 You know, that sounds bad, but it's just like, you don't really know the details. 121 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,000 Now, I'm going to start off with Pastor. 122 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,000 So like Chris said, he was our missions pastor and I went on a missions trip to Brazil with him. 123 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:34,000 We were not told until midway through the flight down to Brazil that we were carrying more than what was it. 124 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,000 It was like, I think $5,000 worth of goods in with us. 125 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:47,000 So basically if, and he was like a repeat offender bringing stuff down there and like not paying taxes on it or something, I don't even remember. 126 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:55,000 And next thing you know, it was just like, I mean, and I understand like if it's over a certain weight amount, like it was a really expensive amount of money. 127 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:05,000 And so a lot of times it was, you know, like drum cages or things that they couldn't get down there or it was like really expensive to get down there. 128 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000 And it was like really, it was a lot cheaper to get in the States and to ship it. 129 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000 We were like bringing, oh, we brought like a whole bunch of stuff down there. 130 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,000 Basically, he told it, he's like, yeah, so they're still looking for me from last time. 131 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000 So it's like, we're going to give each person, like that's your luggage, right? 132 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:29,000 So mine was a drum cage. That's the reason I can remember it's because mine was a drum cage, big old drum cage still in the box and everything big massive thing. 133 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:42,000 And like one of my first experiences getting there, you know, because you have to fill out paperwork, you have to fill out this paperwork saying, okay, you know, how much goods are you bringing in the country? 134 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000 It's like, yeah, we're going to lie on that. 135 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000 We put like a way lesser amount. 136 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000 And, you know, we pull in there, bro. 137 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:56,000 And I'm all nervous because he also told me, of course, like they could be problems from before. 138 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000 So like we could get detained and but it's like a catch and release thing. 139 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000 He's like, don't worry about it. 140 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000 Like if we get detained, like we'll get released pretty quick. 141 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000 It's not a big deal. 142 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000 I'll just pay the money. 143 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:13,000 So he basically told you, you may or may not be going to customs jail to jail pretty much. 144 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Yeah. 145 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:20,000 And so what ended up happening and scared the bejesus out of me because of course the big drum cage had to be checked, right? 146 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000 It had to go under the plane. 147 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,000 And so I had to wait off in a certain area. 148 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000 They told us to wait and, you know, to get these big items. 149 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000 And here comes two guys, right? 150 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000 Carrying this big old drum cage and they sit it down and they don't speak in English. 151 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,000 They only speak Portuguese and they're like yelling about this drum cage. 152 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Like pointing at it and yelling at this point, you know, like what the heck is going on? 153 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:50,000 You know, luckily we already had a translator there and she was talking with them and she was like, oh, they're saying it was really heavy. 154 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000 I was like, oh man, that's good. 155 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000 Because at first, you know, you're expecting, okay, we might have some problems. 156 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Mine's the heaviest, biggest item, right?

259 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000 Our next segment is the jelly dutiful. 260 00:20:51,000 --> 00:21:01,000 But today we're talking about instead of criminal crime, we're going to talk about some civil stuff and some crazy lawsuits in which people actually won. 261 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,000 So do you want to go through Chris and we're going to talk about some of these crazy lawsuits? 262 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:17,000 First one, a Massachusetts woman filed a lawsuit against the Boston Red Sox, the baseball team, and team owner John Henry claiming that they were negligent in 2014 when a batted ball struck her in the crowd. 263 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:28,000 The player had failed to inform her that he might try to throw baseballs into the stand and as a result suffered injuries, including facial fractures and neurological damage. 264 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000 And apparently she ended up winning and got $6.4 million from that. 265 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000 Are you serious, bro? 266 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000 How did you get that? 267 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,000 Because like literally, that's the expected risk. 268 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000 That's the nature of baseball. 269 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000 That's the nature of baseball. 270 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000 But shoot, man, I didn't realize we could go to a baseball game and hopefully we get struck by a foul ball. 271 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000 We might be able to have the option to sue. 272 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,000 I don't know. 273 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:58,000 I'm sure since then they put in some, what do you call it, some disclaimers? 274 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000 Yeah, when you buy your ticket or something. 275 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000 Percautions or something like that. 276 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:11,000 And that's something else, kids. If you ever see something on the wall of do not do this or do not do that as silly as it may sound, it's because a lawsuit happened about it at some point. 277 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:21,000 A judge in Missouri ordered a club chain to pay $6 million to an exotic dancer who says she was a victim of discrimination and retaliation. 278 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:28,000 So the woman said that she sued this company saying that they were forced to share tips with management. 279 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:41,000 And she wanted to keep all of her tips. However, talking about what happened on stage in behind closed doors was against management policies because they couldn't adequately account for all the money that was going in and out. 280 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000 At least is what they were saying. 281 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:52,000 But she ended up winning $6 million because apparently she was forced to share tips over a long period of time. 282 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,000 And they said somehow with all the damages and the discrimination, $6 million is adequate. 283 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:06,000 See that one I kind of agree with while I do not support and condone the business in which this lady is in. 284 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Like the tips is what she lives off of, right? Like that's how she gets her money. 285 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,000 And so the fact that she has to share them with management, management gets paid like a base salary. 286 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000 They get paid a set wage. 287 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:25,000 Most of the people that work in that industry, they're working off of tips. They don't get, they don't have like, they're not getting paid by hour, I don't think. 288 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Unless I, unless I'm wrong. 289 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000 Or it's a small amount like waiters and waitresses, but I don't think it is like that. 290 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:38,000 Yeah. So I mean, I get why she had to sue. 291 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000 But I mean, you know, now maybe she can quit her job. 292 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000 Different one or, you know, a better one. 293 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:54,000 So, but, you know, what really tips it off for me was that this company was saying that what happens on stage behind closed doors, like we can't account for all that. 294 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000 You know, that's all horse hockey. You can tell how much money is going in and out. 295 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,000 That's just them trying to say we want to keep our cut and we know that we're wrong for it pretty much. 296 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000 That's what it says in my mind. 297 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:11,000 All right. So the next one in 2005, an elderly woman was rushed to the hospital due to a severe knee infection. 298 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,000 She'd never met her doctor, but he operated on her knee. 299 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,000 And in 2007, she took him to court over negligence because she couldn't remember anything about the doctor. 300 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:29,000 The jury awarded her $7 million because she didn't know anything about the doctor and that's against patient rights, apparently. 301 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,000 Oh man. I wonder how she, I mean, I guess they're, we've talked about this. 302 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:42,000 They're lawyers that they sit around and try to find these lawsuits, but I'm like, wow, that's wild that like you, you just get $7 million off of that fact. 303 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Like, I'm like, what, what can I get paid for? You know what I mean? 304 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 There's got to be something that we missed during life. 305 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:56,000 The ironic part about this one though is the doctor filed for bankruptcy very soon after. 306 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:02,000 So they actually, she, the lady actually got nothing because he filed for bankruptcy. 307 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000 Wow. Well, that sucks. 308 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:13,000 This lady sued her 12 year old nephew for breaking her wrist with hugging him at a birthday party and jury awarded her damages of just over a million dollars because the hug. 309 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,000 So how is that 12 year old going to pay that money? Like, what, what, what, what? 310 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000 Okay. First of all, why is that lady so suing a 12 year old? 311 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Number two, like how, how is she going to get her money? 312 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000 Like, what is he going to have to pay reparations? 313 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000 Like, what the heck? 314 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000 I feel like there's got to be a family beef or something, right? 315 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,000 It's, it's not just about her nephew. It's got to be like, you know, whoever that family member is, they don't like each other and she was trying to get that money out of him. 316 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:44,000 I don't know, but it seems like there's a lot more to the story than just, but see, my thing is, how does the 12 year old break her wrist? 317 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:51,000 Like, it also sounds like one of those things of she broke her wrist after the fact or something trying to get that money. 318 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000 Yeah, I don't know, man.

629 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,000 That's my question. 630 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,000 I feel like they go up and down pretty quickly. 631 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,000 I feel like they go up at a decent, I don't think they're slow. 632 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,000 I think they can go up pretty quick. 633 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000 Here's my question. 634 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,000 And you know, if we have any window cleaners out there, you let us know, do they start from up top? 635 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:37,000 Like, I know that they have to put the basket up top, but do they start cleaning from up top and work their way down? 636 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,000 Or do they lure the basket all the way down to the ground? 637 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,000 And do they start from the bottom and go up? 638 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,000 Work their way up? 639 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000 I don't know. 640 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,000 I think I'd want to start all from all the way up top and then go down. 641 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:56,000 I think it would be kind of a little nerve wracking when you all the way up and you're just like, ooh, but it's like, oh, I'm lowering it down. 642 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000 I feel a little bit closer to the ground. 643 00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,000 That's just me though. 644 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,000 That's nerve wracking period. 645 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:04,000 That thing, you know, I've seen those things really shaking around and whatnot. 646 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:07,000 Anyways, anyways, it's been a great episode, man. 647 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,000 It's always a good episode. 648 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,000 You know, it is when we're just rambling by the end of it. 649 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:15,000 So, we can move into our last segment, which is our Eclare or positive advice. 650 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,000 And Chris, I think I went first last week, so I'll let you take it away. 651 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:30,000 Well, my advice is to be courageous and sometimes courage is the opposite of what you want to naturally do, right? 652 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:35,000 So for some people, the courageous thing to do is to just be quiet, right? 653 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:43,000 Because maybe you're naturally, you just shoot off at the mouth and, you know, you say whatever you feel like, you say whatever's popping in your brain. 654 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:49,000 But maybe the courageous thing for you to do is just to be quiet and just to be like, you know what, I'm going to let this go. 655 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,000 I'm not going to go in guns a blazing. 656 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:59,000 Or on the opposite side, maybe the courageous thing for you to do is just to sit back and not have confrontation. 657 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,000 Sorry, strike that reverse. 658 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,000 Maybe the natural thing for you to do is just to sit back and not have confrontation. 659 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:13,000 But the courageous thing for you to do is to step out and to rock the boat and be like, you know what, I'm not just going to sweep this under the rug. 660 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:23,000 So, be courageous and whatever that looks like for you, for me, that's like sometimes I have to speak up about things because I'll let things go a little bit too often. 661 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:29,000 And yeah, so don't be afraid to take courage and do the courageous thing. 662 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,000 Yeah, no, I totally agree. And mine kind of piggybacks off of that. 663 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,000 And just don't ever downplay the importance of listening. 664 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,000 Because, you know, even what Chris was saying, right? 665 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:54,000 I've been in so many situations where I've been talking and talking and talking and saying something, not even for, you know, bad purpose or, you know, whatever, it's just just talking. 666 00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:02,000 Maybe it was for attention or maybe it was for whatever and I miss some of the things that I, you know, passed me by because I just wasn't listening at the time. 667 00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:07,000 And so, you know, don't ever downplay that we had this job interview with this guy. 668 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:17,000 And I tell you what, man, like he was a very bright, bright guy had plenty of credentials, you know, to have the job and everything. 669 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:25,000 But you know what the biggest thing that I'd noticed and we passed on him for? He would not listen to the questions that we were asking him. 670 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:33,000 Like he just would not listen and you could just tell that he was just in La La Land and he thought that he was going to get the job and he just didn't listen. 671 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:42,000 He didn't listen. He didn't pick it up. And so, you know, you could have all the credentials in the world, you could look the best, but if you ain't going to listen, you're not worth anything. 672 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:52,000 You know, especially, you know, business sense, relationship sense, like you got to listen, got to listen. And that's a hard one, especially when you're a talker like I am. 673 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:59,000 Huh? What'd you say? No, I'm just going to get, uh, again, again, I say this all the time. 674 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:05,000 God gave us two years and one mouth. So that means you need to listen more than you talk. 675 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:09,000 Just kidding. My dad always said that. And I'd be like, Dad, stop it. 676 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:17,000 Little things. But yeah, man, uh, tv trash can dot com. That's tv trash can dot com where, uh, yeah, we're cooking on some things. 677 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:23,000 So be on the lookout for that. But it's the holidays. We also going to be taking it easy as well. 678 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,000 So we enjoyed our time. But man, you got anything to add? 679 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:36,000 No, just, uh, again, be safe out there during the holiday season, man. People drive crazy and people are rushing, rushing, rushing to where they are trying to go. 680 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:43,000 And you can get overwhelmed with, uh, holiday parties and all that stuff. So just, just be safe and be careful out there. Okay. 681 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:51,000 Yeah. And don't get too wrapped up in the gifts. Get wrapped up in the time you're spending with family. That's what it's all about. You know, I know what you wanted to say. 682 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:56,000 I know what you wanted to say. What was I going to say? You wanted to say, you wanted to say, don't get wrapped up in gifts. 683 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:05,000 You need to get wrapped up in birth crash. Birth of Jesus. That's what it's about. Yeah, I could go on that. You know, I could, you know, these people, they don't even know. 684 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:11,000 They don't even know what I could break out with that for like a 30 minute rant, but we could have, you know, bogged them with all that. 685 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:40,000 So anyways, I guess it's time to sign off. I'm Michael and I'm Chris and this has been the Donut Box podcast. 686 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,000 Yeah.
