Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human.

Every single day I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions ever since I was born. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine, just honest conversations about what it means to be alive. I'm Javier El Chicharito Hernandez and listen to Learning to Be Human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast. It's time for the good news.

Tell me something good. Let's go around the room. I'll go first. We started Project Tell Mary last night. We bought it. And I've read the books. I'm very excited. My wife has not read the book.

And that means it's annoying whenever I know something that she needs to know is happening. I'm like, you've got to watch. You're distracted. Go rewind it. You have to see this part so you know. She's like, let me watch a movie at my own pace. But we also had the baby with us, so we had to keep turning the volume down and pausing it.

That's just the life now. But we probably watched 45 minutes of it last night. Brian Gosling's awesome. He is awesome. I wish they wouldn't have had him do the promo, though, where he's actually throwing Hill Mary football. Because he can't throw football. You can't let that go. I can't because, and not in a bad way.

meaning there are difference in stage kids that grow up performing in kids that are athletic. And we just think good-looking stage-kid actors are athletic because they're good-looking and they can, you know, play roles. They can play ball. Yeah, but he threw, when he threw that ball in the promo, I was like, oh, he never played ball. It was strange. It was strange. But of course he didn't. He spent his whole life on Mickey Mouse Club, dancing, singing.

Why would I expect that kid to be able to throw a football far looking like an athlete? Because he looks like he can throw up for fall well. Yep. So this is not a review because I'm not finished it, but I was excited that it was up. That's so cool when I saw it to buy. I was like, let's go. Is that like 20 bucks or whatever?

Or you can rent it, but renting it right now is like 1799. And ain't no way I'm going to rent it. Not be able to watch it because of the baby. And then have to buy it again if we don't get it finished in 48 hours. So, yeah, that's what's up. That would be my good one that we started that. So far is it like the book? Like to track with the book?

Yes, yes. It tells the story a little different. Same elements of the book, but they run a couple of storylines at the same time, which the book didn't do that because the book didn't have to do that because the book could be a linear and it could take you forever to get through because it's a book. But I was happy so far in the first 30 minutes.

I read it like five years ago, so I feel like this is a good gap to where I'm like, the book was great. But I'm not going to be overly comparing it. Sometimes they'll even change the endings of movies from books a little. And I don't know if they did this here. So a little bit of me is still like, oh, I wonder what happens at the end. Because I watch the boys on Amazon.

I do think now it's a top five favorite show of all time for me. It's all the elements I like. It's funny. I love superheroes. It's also the absurdity of superheroes with real life. people. And also how they became superheroes. Kind of makes sense. It doesn't because it wouldn't, but it's not just like they came from Milamac or Alpha's from. So I really love the boys. And it's over after this season. And I didn't know it was a comic. And Mike told me it was a comic that just did

okay. It didn't even do that great, right? Yeah, not that successful. And we were talking about it. And I said, hey, I don't want to spoil anything because I was one episode ahead of Mike. And he's like, well, I've already read the comic. I know what happens at the end. But Mike also said to me, sometimes they do it different. Yeah, they could change it. Are you caught up with the last episode? The latest one, no. Me either.

Came out yesterday. Yeah, no. No internet still. Oh, he's without internet. I've had no internet for like six days. That's tough, Mike. Can we say why or no? Yeah, sure.

He moved. So is that because they haven't been able to get out there? They got out there, but they ran into a big problem and can't get it all. So I just have to call them every day and get an update. Like big problem. Yeah. Does anybody ever lived there before? Yeah, it was like set up.

with the person before us and then now they can't get it working. Okay. Are you having to go somewhere to use internet or are you using like your phone? No, he's going to where we shoot Netflix stuff. I went to Starbucks yesterday because he was closer. He has like 20 minutes. He's like, do you care if we go over to the building because we built some other studios in town? I was like, yeah, dude, you can live there.

I don't care because we have an apartment on top of it too. And he did that then I think he got tired of driving 20 minutes. That's hard, man. That stinks. That's not telling me something good. No, no. We started the movie. I like it.

It's good. I'll review it probably Tuesday. Amy. So last night, my son had his final, like, youth group for the year because summer, they're breaking for summer. Next week is the last day of school, which is crazy. I cannot believe we're at that point. So I got an email and it's like the last youth group and it's not necessarily easy to get

there on a Wednesday night, especially if there's homework and it's 630 to 8.30 and then we're getting home late. But I was like, you know what? It's the last one. I'm going to take it. And he was so excited. And my friend Kat, who I co-hosts my podcast with, she lives kind of close to where the church is.

So I decided to impromptu, like, text her and go over to her house to wait in between instead of like driving back and forth. And we just had the best time. It was me, her, and her husband. I definitely was crashing their dinner. Yeah, but husband and wife, I didn't crash. That's more like a, like an injection of different. Yeah.

But it was just one of those things where normally, I definitely like to be winding down, getting ready for bed around A, getting in bed by 830 reading. And of course, I wanted to like make sure my son got to go to the last youth group of the semester and then got that special time with friends. And also I don't get to hang out with her husband that often. And like, they're real cute and funny together. And they're having a baby. And maybe think of you and Caitlin Bobby because she's still pregnant and she's trying to figure out,

they just got their stroller. So then she was like, do you want to see me? folded up. And so she's like, she's like, I practiced this morning. And then her husband's making fun of her, like, that she's doing drills, like setting a timer, seeing how long she could, like, do the stroller.

And I'm just like, aw. And then I had these thoughts of like, I'll never have that. Oh. Oh, no. I know. And I was like, I'm good with not ever having a baby, but it's weird how little moments will pop up.

I mean, obviously for years, I've accepted the fact that I'm not going to get pregnant. but here I am at 45 just stopping over at my friend's house and then I have this weird moment of watching her do her stroller drill and I'm sort of like oh you know Would you want to adopt a baby? You can. I know.

As a single person right now and raising my kids still at the moment, no. But I don't know. We'll see. Who knows? I just sharing like a, a little vulnerable moment of like unexpected like ting. But then I do have gratitude for, okay, that wasn't my story.

And I remember being sad about that years ago. And then we got the blessing of Stevenson and Stashira. So it all works out. It's just, you know, you have those little moments where you're thinking, this would never bother me. And then you're like punched in the gut. You know what I'm rooting for? What?

Immaculate conception. Oh, that'd be nice. Get pregnant without that. All of a sudden, you're like, what the heck? And then you told us, we would not believe you. Nope. We would go, tell the truth. It wasn't immaculate, was it?

We'd be like, who was it? And I'd be like, nobody. I didn't do that. Those type of moments, like, I have that with our baby now where, like, she'll never get to meet my mom. Yeah. But when that hits and it does, and that stinks, because my sister has two kids and one of them now is 19, maybe 20 now. another one is about to be a senior in high school. My mom did get to meet them before she died.

So not only was that cool, that also makes me a little sad that she'll never get to meet our kid, but in the same way where I do find something to appreciate from that, Caitlin's parents are awesome and so involved. And I'm grateful that we have in-laws, well, her parents, I have in-laws that care and love and at the drop we'll drive here.

Right. So in the same way that you're like, man, I have these little moments where I go, but I also get to meet it with whatever. I have that moment too with that. My mom never getting to meet our baby. But I do meet that with, how fortunate am I that,

like I really enjoy my in-laws? They really care. They want to be present, even though it is not an easy drive. It's nine hours. Sometimes they even fly. There's a nonstop from Tulsa now that helps. But the problem is,

they have to drive an hour to Tulsa. Right, yeah. And then they're going to fly over. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, I'll meet your vulnerability there and also meet your finding a positive out of it. Because that sucks, but it's also awesome because I don't think everybody gets to have what I have with her parents. Yeah.

Your wife sent me my new favorite picture of Billy yesterday. I'm a new favorite. Speaking of your baby. Which one? There's a bow in her hair. She has a bow in her hair. I haven't seen a picture yet with a bow. For two reasons.

One, it is wild that an eight-week-old baby has enough hair that you can put a bow in it. Yeah, that's crazy. It's crazy. And two, what we've realized is that Billy kind of gets annoyed and it's like, she's like bulldogs. And it's because her hair is in her face already so much that it makes her itch. We didn't think about that. Her hair is so long. It's like in her face.

And she's going, oh, she's doing the fun bulldog thing. I know what's the hair makes her face it. Yeah, I don't even, she seems like the norm for me because that's, that that's the baby I'm seeing the most of. But then like our friend Jackie, you had a baby right around the same time. She sent me this picture this morning because I gifted her that thing she's wearing.

She had the baby like three weeks before ours. And there's like no hair. My friend Anya who works at Sirius. No hair. She sent me a picture of her son who's a few months older and no hair. No hair. So like Billy's this,

it's kind of crazy how much hair she has. It was just really cute to get, I got that picture yesterday and I was like, oh, so maybe I was already feeling like, oh, baby. baby fever. I want a baby to put a bow in. Congratulations to Ray, by the way. Wait, what? Get a baby? No. Not at all, though, but... He's wearing a bow. No? I learned that Ray is on my wife's close friends' Instagram story.

She just added them. Oh. And so Ray saw, I think for the first time, a picture of baby Billy. Is that true, Ray? Yeah, it was great. I may have gotten leaked one or two by proxy, but... Okay, bye, your wife? Yeah. Got it. But yeah, seeing it, I thought it was for everybody. And then I saw the green around it and knew it was close friends. Got it.

I had a couple people that said, did you know, your wife posted your baby on social media? And I was like, there is no chance. So it was just her close friends. Yeah. But she said, the green circle. She said, I haven't looked at who's on my close friends list. And she goes, and Ray wasn't on there. So I added him.

And I was like, oh, I bet he thought that was really nice. So, yeah, big news for Ray today. He got to, he saw baby Billy in the green. Sometimes I'm on people's greens and I'm like, why am I in their green? What do you mean? Like people that you're not really friends with? No. Huh.

And it's like they're sharing personal stuff and I'm on their green close friends list. And I'm like, I don't. Like what kind of personal stuff? Well, it's not like their social security or they're naked or anything. Do you guys ever have that pop up where you get a green and you're like, you're a little flattered. You're like, they consider me to be on their close friends list? I've only seen two greens.

Your wife is one and then Kevin. Kick off Kevin. So the only two greens I've ever seen. I was oddly on Kelsey Ballerini's for a long time. I'm not anymore because I think she's mad about the Morgan Evan stuff. But I was on it for a long time and I always thought, that's weird. I'm on Kelsey Ballerini's green.

Like we were friends a long time ago. And then it's not that we weren't friends. We just didn't stay close. She moved off. And also she's like a, you don't have a close friend for the most part that you hang out with. It's like a younger woman. No. You know?

No, you really don't. So I was always like, why am I in our green? I wasn't mad at it. I'm not in a green anymore. Those greens never pop up anymore. Or maybe she's not posted in the greens. I bet she is, but I think I was taking off the green. I never post on green, but I do have a green list.

I made a green list of people. You know how I have my list of everything? The people I play pickleball with. And I've just posted a green up being like, anybody won't pay pickleball? Oh, so your pickleball. It was like the bat sign. Bat symbol for pickleball. That it was only green on Instagram.

Tell me something good. I like that. Check. Check. Eddie. Man, I got an email yesterday that said my son is getting an award at school. Like an end of the year award. They're not telling me what it is, but we have to go to the award ceremony.

It's tomorrow and we find out what it is there. And I'm like, it's an academic award, guys. This is a huge deal. This doesn't happen with the Garcia's. It does not happen. Which son in the age hierarchy? The second to the oldest. So you're going to find out at the ceremony?

Yeah. We just go to the ceremony and then they'll call him up. Has he been crushing it? He's been crushing it. But this one is like, it's, it didn't say it's about like, you know, A honor roll or whatever like that, which I don't know if he is straight A's. What if it's like in the NBA most improved player and it's somebody who's really grown a lot from last year to this year? It totally could be. Or sixth man of the year.

You don't have that. It's like not the starting group, but like you're really. really are performing well. That, I think, as a parent, would be better than the other one because that means there's been real growth. Sometimes grades just come easy to kids. And if you have a kid whose grades come easy and you're getting those awards, that's just another day.

Sometimes that ends up biting you in the butt when you get into college or in life because it's always been easy to you. And now it is such a fundamental change to how you're having to study. And it's not there. Those work habits are not there. the kid who learns how to get better in high school often does really well in college because they've learned those skills,

those study skills that don't come naturally. So that'd be really cool if that was it. That would be really cool. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart. IR. Radio. Canada's number one streaming app for radio and podcasts, including IHart Pride Canada,

Yes, sir. Fair to say this was the biggest case of your career? Yes, sir. Rape a murder for a child. Just as bad as it gets. I would think so. Evil, wake up. I'm the one that saw the murder take place by Creveit and DePippo.

Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum. I said I'm not guilty. I'll take it to the grave.

Hey, I'm Hoda Kotby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby. Together, we're going to have meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people, like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartner depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And there's a ton of exciting because their new star is Javier T. Torito Hernandez. Everyone sees me as a football player, but before anything else, I'm human. Every single day I'm still learning how to live with problems, mistakes, relationships, emotions. since I was born. And I still have so many questions. Where do we come from? What happens after death? How do you deal with cancellation?

Cristiano or Messi? Do aliens exist? What is love? Real Madrid or Varsa? From every day and ordinary to the deep and extraordinary. This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine. This podcast is like a deep talk with your closest friends.

Where vulnerability comes out. Conspiracy theories end up on the table and goals and lessons are shared. All in this life has a world and everything. Wait me, I want to pressur me, but me will go to go to work. We are here to connect. The Chicharito. And together with IHard Radio, we're going to make the ordinary, extraordinary. Stay close.

It's a carac. Wow. Listen to learning to be human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast. What's really weird about, like, the academic stuff is, like, my two biological kids. One of them is really good at math, and the other one is really bad at math. one of them is really good at English, the other one's really bad at English. It's just weird that like... Were you and your wife like that, though?

Because you're really bad at mad. I'm bad at both. Oh, you're not even good at English to raise that. Dude, I'm dyslexic. Like, no. No, you're number lexic. Both. No, he's both.

Both. We're both both. Yeah. Dude, you got screwed. We got really screwed. So, like, it's just weird that one kid has a strength that the other one doesn't. Because I've seen other families where, like, their kids just dominates science. Like, their parents are doctors.

And so in the science area, they're always like the best. Like they're probably going to be astronauts. And like they have three kids and all three of them are really good at science. So to me, it's just weird that like my kids have different strengths. Did anything come really easy to you guys in school? English and math, it doesn't sound like it. But was there something that came easy to you? Being social.

Okay. Talking. Getting in trouble for talking. It came easy. Theater. But there was... Okay, I think that counts. Theater, man, dominated it.

I don't know because I never took theater. So you would do that. Would you feel in... Because school you had to probably feel at times like you weren't part of the group. So what made you part of the group was probably talking and being like the class clown. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Especially when it was like first week of school where everyone's getting their classes and it's like, oh, what class is that? College prep? Like, what does that mean? Advanced. Like, what does that mean? I was not part of that.

Yeah, I guess my point is... you didn't feel like you belonged in certain academic parts of school. Correct. And when that happens to kids for the most part, they want to belong, so they do things like act out and be funny. And that way they feel like they're a part of it without having to be the hard part. But when you did theater, what'd you call it? Theater.

Oh, it was theater. Yeah. You felt like you belonged. It was just easy to me. Like, they'd give me my character. And, like, if the show was Thursday night, I wasn't nervous. Everyone else was nervous. Studying their lines, I wasn't nervous and I'd go up and dominate it.

Is it crazy that people feel like that having math tests? Yeah. Because that's how people feel that are good at math that either didn't have to study or they just studied and it came so easy. They had that same feeling toward math that you had toward theater. But it also makes me feel like school is just so for one kind of person. Yeah. You know? That's what some say the problem is.

Yeah. They're getting a little better about it. But not underfunded schools. They're struggling just to make it. Right. One size fits all. But I bet you there were kids who, like, wanted to do theater but were so bad and so nervous. Yeah.

They would look at you and go, man, that guy's got it figured out. When you probably saw kids that got math or science or English easy and you're like, man, they got it figured out. Yes. But think about it. You probably had something you were good at. I mean, similar to Eddie, if I had to do something publicly or speak or perform. I wasn't in theater, but I was in the talent show and stuff. Like, I wasn't nervous about that.

You dominated the talent show? I mean, define Dominate. I was seeing and I can't sing, but I wasn't scared to do it. Like, I would go forward and do it. And then my first time public speaking wasn't until my senior year of high school, actually, but we had this huge, at Austin High,

they have this huge alumni event every year. And I gave a speech at that. And I was like, no problem. Like, in fact, my teachers were, like, shocked by it. That's great. Because they did, I didn't know I had that. strength until I did it. But going up on stage in front of thousands of people and reading a speech or

it was like, oh, no problem. But I didn't know. I really feel like, and again, it takes money to do this. It takes resources for schools to do this. And a lot of schools don't have those resources. But I really feel like if you could dial into what kids were good at and they have to do the other stuff too because you need to do hard things because life is that. but you could let them excel at that, let them know they excel at that, put them in situations

where they can grow in that. I think that just makes a healthier human because you don't feel like you're just bad at stuff. You don't grow feeling stupid. Yeah. You have opportunities of positive. Like if you have a piggy bank, like for us at school, Eddie and I probably both. Like our piggy bank was, there was a lot of deposits into the negative. Yeah.

And we didn't have a lot of deposits to the positive. So it was, there was an imbalance there that continued to, and then it compounds and it makes school, you just, you do, you feel stupid. Yeah, it rips your total confidence. And your confidence, yeah. Because, and you're not just talking to you guys. No, I'm not talking to you guys specifically. You know you're not stupid. I appreciate it.

But as a kid, you're not stupid. They're just not highlighting or giving you the opportunity to do what you're smart in because, if you could do that more, I think you would have confidence and you could even tackle the other things you're not as good at. With more confidence. Yes, because you wouldn't feel like a total loser. Yeah. It's unfair.

There's a place in town called something biz town. I don't know. You know what this is? But then the schools go to it like just once a year, like for a whole week. And it's basically a fake city and with all the jobs with a hospital, with a doctor's office, with an insurance office, with the radio station and a TV station, all this stuff. And then the kids go in there and they start like, what do you want to do? Well, I want to work in the radio station.

Great. The radio station has a sales team and an on-air person. And they literally teach you how to work in the world for a whole week. That's awesome. Man, I wish that could happen everywhere. But you know what that place has? Money. Money.

Yes. And it's private. It's not like a public place. You have to pay to use it. So the school has to like have funding. What's the age limit on attending? Amy wants to go. That's a good question.

I believe with my whole heart, the reason that I was able to be successful in school is because I was told very early on I was smart. And what that did is it allowed me to think I was smart and gave me confidence to be smarter. I think I do have some natural God-given ability. But I think because I had confidence instilled in me because I was able to do something early, that I think that allowed me to open other doors for myself. And I think if kids could be met there with what their great, at because I think every human is great at something.

Yes. If they could be met with that, I think you'd have a lot more confident kids that can accomplish a lot more or at least they're told they can accomplish a lot more. He still have some burnouts and stuff. But I believe a smart kid, but I believe I was told that

and I was nurtured as that and that allowed me to be greater. More than anything else. that sucks for you guys that our public school system doesn't find the great and that gives you enough confident to be good when you would normally be bad

in some of the other areas yeah well here we are here we are no it all worked out I was good at stuff so I felt pretty confident yeah English all of it

science pretty good math no Mad of math? Mid. Until it got to like algebra, but I was like champion of the board races. We had like a district board race tournament.

Do you guys have board races? I mean, maybe we did, but we were part of it. What's a board race? We didn't get invited to that. Fair enough. What is that? I was doing theater, man. So there's Quiz Bowl, which I loved and I was great at it.

Because I'm quick. I might be wrong, but I'm quick. So I'm going to be right a lot. I'm going to be quick and I'm going to get it. If I'm wrong, I'm still going to be quick. So Quiz Bowl, I did that. There was a science competition that did that. And they had board races where they'd put you on boards and they would go 33 times 268.

Boom, go. And you had a piece of chalk and you raced and you had to show your work. That was so sloppy just like my handwriting that I would have the answer and I'd circle it and I'd show my work. They had no idea what the work was because it was so sloppy. I was really good at that because I could work quick. That was like by board, you mean chalkboard. Yeah. Oh, got it. I was picturing like a board. A board. Oh, wooden board. Or like, I was actually like a game board.

Oh. I don't know. I just think my only skill is being fast. I don't even think it's being right more than others. I think it's just being fast and committing. Even if I'm wrong, the people go, hey, maybe he's right. He's so fast.

My wife says that too sometimes. Just because you answer quickly does not mean you're right. I was like, I don't know. Sometimes people just believe me. Yeah. I just go quick. Lunchbox, what were you good at? I was good at math.

I was good at socializing. But yeah, math, came easy to me. Algebra, stuff like that. But geometry. I didn't see shapes, man. That was weird. Yeah.

For me, for me, it was algebra. Trigonometry I was not good at. I didn't even get there. No, trig? What? Never got past, like, algebra, too. In college, I literally only did college algebra, which wasn't any of the advanced math,

because I knew then do the basic. Nothing I'm going to do involves math. Nothing. So, I ain't doing it. No chance. And I, it was not easy for me, even college algebra. And that was where they put the people that were bad at math for the most. It was me and a bunch of athletes.

So why did you, did you ever want to do anything in math lunchbox? No, I just, I mean, I don't know why I was just good at it. I was good with numbers. I don't know. I would not do homework, get an A on the test, get a C in the class. That was my strategy. I had to take geometry twice, though. I failed that.

Yeah. In high school, you took it twice? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I failed it. You have to go to summer school? No, no, no. I just took it the next year. Oh. I failed the second.

semester of geometry, Miss Mulder. I took honors. That was a bad idea. So then I went regulars. And I was like, oh, this is so much easier. And it was so much easier. And I'd already done it once. So it was really easy. And I mean, like at the end of the semester, the teacher was like, oh, aren't you

going to be exempt from the final? Because like, if you had a high enough grade, you didn't have to take the final. I was like, absolutely. But then I'd skip the class too many times. So I still had to take the final because you had only had to have like three or less absences. I had like 10. Attendance Monster got him.

Yeah. Tell me stuff to good lunchbox. Yeah, man. This is going to sound really old and lame, but man, I got a new fence. My fence has been falling down, like the kids climb over it. And I thought it was going to end up like the sand lot. They were going to be buried under the fence. And a couple windstorms.

I've had two sections of the fence blow over. And I have propped it up with two by fours and all sorts of gadgets. and had to replace random pickets because they just break. And I finally bit the bullet and called someone and said, hey, I need to buy a new fence. And they finished the work yesterday. How long were they on your property? Like a week because they got to come and rip it out.

And they got to dig the holes, put the new posts in, let them set. And then they come back like three days later and do the fence. So I was great. You worry about people on your property? No. What do you mean worried about them? Like not worried about them. Do you worry about, because you're a superstar,

wildly famous. I wonder to. Well, yeah, I tried to keep a low profile. Like when they would come, you know what I mean? I would try to be non, you know, visual. Not visual. See, hide. Yeah.

Because, you know, it is a thing. Like when people come to your house and they realize it's you, it's like, oh, and then they start telling their friends, oh my gosh, you never believe whose house I'm working on. And they can get awkward real quick. Yeah, that's what I was wondering. For sure. you're able to handle it by being non-visual.

Yeah, non-visual. I definitely kept a low profile when they were there. All right. Good news, good news. That is what it's all about. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good.

There was this guy, Luis Salazar. He's in Florida. He stops at the gas station. He goes in the bathroom. And they're hanging in the bathroom stall. A fanny pack. And not just any fanny pack. It had.

Wait for it. $30,000 in it. I don't think I would have looked in the fanny pack. Really? I don't think so. But you want to return it, so you look in the fanny pack and I take it to the front. Without looking?

I think so. I'm just putting myself in a situation. If I see a fanny pack and a stall, I don't know if I grab it. I mean, that's a lot of money. I think I'm like, I leave it there because they're probably going to come back looking for it. Well, that's why I would leave it at the front.

Yeah. He looked in there for an ID, no ID. Fair. And so he contacted the police. department and the owner. No ID in $30,000 in cash? Crazy. How many people out of 10 keep the money? Nine.

Three. No, I say very little. Yeah. Wait, wait. I say three and one keeps it all and two keep just a little. Just like a couple hundred dollars. Yeah. So you think seven out of ten people would turn it in.

Yes, dude. Yeah, I have hope for humanity. I think nine out of ten. I don't think it's humanity. No chance. No chance. No chance. But I bet how every, there's nine.

Some people would feel like, man, the world's been against me so long. This is a sign I'm supposed to keep the money. At a 10. At least two would think that. Another one's like, I'm just a bad person. I'm keeping the money. Because I don't think it's like, you know, oh, it's the right thing to do, whatever. I just think that like they're scared.

Oh, that's a factor, but you don't think it's the right thing to do? No, no, no. I think people that take the money wouldn't do it because, or the people that wouldn't take the money, it's like, oh, it's the right thing to do, don't take the money. They wouldn't take it. Like you said, they'd be scared that somebody's going to do it. going to come looking for it and they'd be in trouble. There's a lot of variables as to why you shouldn't hate it.

Which is why it's more than one, I think. One out of ten. Man, no idea though. Even I think about it. I wouldn't. I would turn it in. But I'd be like, dang, nobody would know. What happens?

So he contacted the police department. The police department kept the money. And then someone came forward and said, hey, I lost this money. And they were able to meet up. And they hugged. The guy cried. And he was like, hey, it's not my money.

What am I going to do with it? The reward question. It doesn't say anything about a reward One wasn't expected, so Oh, come on You buy 30K, you better break that dude off 10K Oh no way, you can't do a third of it

What if that's a payment for something? Yeah, that money's a payment for something I was thinking like 200 bucks You guys think it's legit money? Like, I feel like it's a drug deal Well, drug deal money's still legit money Yeah, and I feel like you still break him off 200 bucks

Because you got somebody to pay for the drugs You gotta pay your wholesaler Good for that person for turning it in You ever think about just going to the police station I'd be like, I lost some money? Do you guys have any that somebody turned in? And they're like, we do, how much? And you just take a shot.

1700. Well, today's your lucky day. It's like a lottery, just going to the police station. It's time for the good news. Man, Gunner is 10 years old. He lives in West Texas, and he's an artist. He makes artwork with, like, things that say you are worth it. Hats, shirts, posters.

Well, he sells them at places. online, he goes to event centers and sells them. Guys, he raised $10,000 and he gave the American Valor Foundation a $10,000 check. Basically raised money just to give it to them. And this foundation is cool. They support veterans and first responders. His parents are cops, so he felt really close to this. So his parents are cops, so he's not rich.

So $10,000 would have made a huge difference for him to keep making all that money. And he still donated it. That's wild. And so he was like, the funny thing is he was like a. a couple hundred dollars short and somebody was like you know what i'll help you out so technically it's ten thousand dollars and one that makes no sense yeah 10,000 and one yeah so they gave him like an extra couple hundred dollars and so the check was actually 10,000 dollars and one dollar hold on why do you say it that way you say it like you are two 10,000 dollars and one one you're like

ray when he talks about being thousands thank you if something's 3200 ray goes that's 3.2,000 So how do you say $10,000 and $1? $10,00? Yeah. See, that sounds weird. $1, $1, $10,000, $1,000. That's what I would say. $10,00?

$1,000. How much is that? I'd say it's $10,000. $1,000 is what I was saying. $10,000 and $1. Yeah. But Eddie, so like... What did you say again, weirdo?

$10,000. No, you say $10,000 and one? Yeah, that's weird. That's what you were saying. It did feel weird. It's, we have the ability to take a really great story. and just shift the entire. Yes, we do.

Because somebody says one stupid thing and then we go chase that. What's his name again? His name is Gunner Caldara. Gunner, good job, man. That's awesome. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
