2:23The text line you text JTR, whatever you want to say. Number 9, 6, 8, 9, 3. There's a text that says john jay, how dare you take the light off of Garfield. They're talking about Kyle was talking about Garfield. How there's going to be new animated Garfield. And I was like, oh I also read this would be a new animated Ted. I didn't want to take the light off of Garfield. No we're just adding to it. We're talking about animation, yeah. Garfield the cat and Ted the teddy bear. You know, I'm so sorry Kyle. I didn't mean to take the… Did I take no effects? We got to get into how Kyle loses everything, there's some more, she's lost something else. It's a problem, especially when it's something meaningful and something that's like, it's not, it's replaceable but not really. So about eight years ago, Scott got me a necklace for Valentine's Day. And I wore it every single day for probably the last six years, then I lost it. And three months later, I found it. It was insane. Yay. That's great. So cut to, I stopped wearing it every day because I'm like, it's precious. I found it. I can't,

3:26like, I can't lose this thing again. So about probably a little over a month ago, Peyton, you and I on a try it Tuesday, we went one day after work to go trepis, to trepis you. And we learned how to do the challenge. It was amazing. And that day was a little bit rushed, but that morning, I was like, I'm, you know, I haven't worn that necklace in a long time. I'm going to wear that necklace. And I was rushed going out the door. So I put the necklace in my pocket and I figured, when I had to work, I would take it out and put it on, which I've done many times before. So that day changed really quick and went on my way and didn't realize until afterwards that I never really put my necklace on. So I went back into the backpack where I had the clothes that I had changed out of where the necklace was in the pocket and it was gone. No, the necklace is not in my pocket. And I'm like, oh my gosh, this is terrible. So now I started going through all the places it could be. I'm like, okay, let me think, okay, if it's not in the pocket, then I probably as I was changing in the bathroom, it fell out. So I talked to the cleaning crew.

4:26They didn't see it. I talked to our front desk. Did anybody turn in a necklace to the loss and found nothing? And I'm like, maybe it, maybe I dropped it at trepis. He's like, maybe somehow it was still in, but I doubt it. And so I've been for the last month really sad that I don't have this necklace. Like I lost it again. Like that's like, I'm devastated by this because it was very meaningful. I tell him. Yeah, I did. And he was like, seriously, you lost it again? Because keep in mind, you've lost your wedding ring before. And I remember he was like, I got all fours crawling around looking to the cart of the wedding ring. Yeah, every day, every day, okay, really bad. So I, I've been looking and I'm like, maybe somehow it ended up in another pencil. Literally every pair of pants I put on, I look in the pocket, even though I know the pair of pants that I was wearing. It's just still hope. It's yeah. Anyways, so this weekend, I'm doing laundry and I take the laundry out and the weirdest thing in the bottom of the washer is like this grit. Like it's gray and it's a lot. It almost looks

5:31like little lint balls, but it's not. It's like little balls of old detergent. And there's pieces of metal. They almost look like little razor blades. I'm like, what the heck is this? So I start fishing through stuff because quite a bit of it down at the bottom of the washer now. And I'm like, piecing through them. And you guys, I see something shiny. It's my neck. No, my neck is stuck in the bottom of the washer. And so I go down like, shut up. This is amazing. I looked in the pants pocket. It wasn't in the pants pocket. I looked in the washer. It's not been in the washer. It's been a month of doing loads and loads of washes. This thing has not been, I have no idea when or how it got in here. So I'm like, this is amazing. I go to pull out. It's stuck. No, I'm like, oh, no, I don't want to pull it too hard because I don't want to break the necklace. So I start Chatchee PTing like, how can I get this? So there's at the bottom of the washer, you have this plastic piece. It's above. That's the agitator. It's the thing that moves around. It makes the, you know, it washes the clothes, right? And that's what the necklace is stuck underneath.

6:36And Chatchee PT is like, it's an easy fix. Just pop the top off, take the bolt off. And once you lift it up to necklace, you come right out. I'm like, okay, I feel like I got to get Scott involved because there's tools that need to be worked. So I go outside and I'm like, Scott, you got to come see this. You're never going to believe this. He comes in and I'm like, first of all, something's definitely wrong with her washer because there's these metal pieces at the bottom of it and all this stuff in my necklace. And he's like, no way. And so he's excited. So he goes and gets his tools and we pop this plastic part off. And the necklace does not come out. It is now stuck. What has happened is there's little tiny holes around that drain the water. And the necklace got somewhat partially in there and like tangled up. And so now the tangled up part is on the other side of the hole and we can't get through. And it's not like the metal shards aren't part of the necklace. So get this when we pop the plastic piece off. There's like a metal piece underneath that is completely coming apart. Like there's, there's like literally metal chunks from it. It has

7:38it's trashed. So I, so I start Google and apparently chat. GPT says that could be because of the necklace. Oh, I think I remember that old. Hey, hey, the necklace out. Scott grabs his drill and drills a hole that like takes the little hole drills that whole bigger. We pop the necklace out. I'm like, I look at the necklace half of it is broken. I feel like I can maybe replace the chain. I'm hoping I'm going to go for it. But like in the meantime, we might need a new washing machine. I was going to say, I thought maybe you'd be coming in here with a necklace and a wash machine around your neck. Instead of a clock, you got a wash machine. I'm just going to roll with it. But the good news is is I found the necklace. I mean, just put it back together and still have the necklace. And now this necklace has all these stories to go with. It's a survivor. That's the ending. It's all around happy endings. It's time to enrich. This is Chelsea handler from Dear Chelsea. After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials and there

8:42was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate and it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself. But the impact is still huge. If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that. Peace to the planet. Shalom in to God here and listen. We are back.
