And I'm Lisa DiGiulio, the old one, which means we have wildly different references, occasionally different opinions. And at this point in my 50s, I've lived it all. Now in my 30s, being the founder of New Shoes, good taste is my business. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Speaker 4 (2:24) I'm Fox Sports reporter Jenny Taft. And I'm former U.S. Women's National Soccer team player Carly Lloyd. And on our new podcast, whatever it takes, nothing is off limits. I played with players that didn't truly love the game. I found the love with the ball at my foot. I don't care what I'm being asked to do at Fox. I'm going to go get some reps and love it and embrace it. Listen to Whatever It Takes with Carly Lloyd and Jenny Taft on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Speaker 1 (2:56) I saw the picture of your son. He looks like an adult man. I Speaker 7 (3:01) know. It's kind of crazy. I don't know what happened. Because when I see him around the house, I don't see that man that came back in his school photos. Do you think some of Speaker 1 (3:11) that was shading, though? Like light? Because he looks... Like a 32-year-old dude. Speaker 7 (3:17) I know. Someone, one of our listeners commented in the DM saying, he's giving married his high school sweetheart, went to college, is now a civil engineer with three kids. I was like, yes. I was like, oh, that's pretty detailed, but also kind of funny. And yeah, I can see that. He Speaker 1 (3:34) does look older, but also he looks a lot older. I feel like there's some... Some shading, some angles. He's got that little mustache thing coming through. Well, he Speaker 7 (3:43) has that. And when I opened up the, you know, it arrived in an envelope, like all the, his dad and I ordered stuff together and I pulled them out because I had them set aside because his dad was going to come by and pick them up. And I couldn't stop looking at it. And I was like, yeah, something seems weird. So yeah, I took that picture and then started comparing it. And he's with his dad right now. So I couldn't like. you know, hold it up to his face. Like, what are we really dealing with here? Do Speaker 1 (4:08) you guys get paper pictures? Speaker 7 (4:10) Yeah, that's what we, that's what, I took a picture of the photo we got in the mail. Speaker 1 (4:16) Am I surprised schools still do paper pictures? Speaker 7 (4:21) Because Speaker 1 (4:22) now you can just get the digitals and print them off yourself and probably save so much money. Speaker 7 (4:27) Meaning they take them. They Speaker 1 (4:28) don't have to print them. They have to go through the middleman. But obviously they want there to be a middleman because that's somebody that's making money. Do you always... Speaker 7 (4:35) Well, you have to pay for the digital too. Speaker 1 (4:36) Yeah, but you'd pay way less because it takes way less. There's less resources being used. Speaker 7 (4:40) Yeah. They get you, man. Do you buy them Speaker 1 (4:43) every year? Speaker 7 (4:44) Yeah, well... Ben and I, that's why also too, we're like, let's just split a package because, and so, yeah, we split a lot of things. But at the end of the month, we have like a tally and it's like, okay, this is what I owe you or this is what you owe me. And yeah, we got like the smallest package and we split it because we were like, this is so stupid. Speaker 5 (5:03) Do you guys do paper pictures? No, it's all digital. Do you pay for them? No, I just scan it or screenshot it. Speaker 7 (5:11) But do you ever print it and frame it? Speaker 5 (5:13) No. Speaker 7 (5:13) Okay. No, Speaker 5 (5:14) there really isn't anything. Maybe like we've done it a couple years, but there are so many pictures, dude. For every sport, there's pictures. And the creativity that they've gotten with these pictures is pretty awesome. Like they let them do whatever they want. You want to cross your eyes? Cross your eyes. So is that creativity or just letting the kids do whatever they want? I think they give them like four options. Cross your eyes, spit, Speaker 1 (5:35) stick your tongue out. But even like Speaker 5 (5:36) football, they brought the, you know, those... When they do gender reveals, smokes or whatever with colors in the back, they do all kinds of things. They make them jump so there's this freeze frame in the air. They do really cool stuff now. But you never buy them. Never. Speaker 7 (5:51) Okay, we do. And probably because Ben's parents are still alive. Like both my parents passed away, but grandparents love a good actual photo. Why Speaker 5 (6:00) was yours like black and white-ish? Speaker 7 (6:02) There was black and white. There was color. It wasn't black and white-ish. It was black Speaker 1 (6:08) and white. The Speaker 7 (6:09) two biggest ones came black and white. That was the cheaper package. Got it. Speaker 1 (6:13) You could easily put that in some sort of AI and make a coloring exactly the same. Yeah, Speaker 7 (6:18) well, we got some wallet size. Speaker 7 (6:21) maybe five by six that are color. Well, Speaker 1 (6:26) that's cool to see. You wanna do your story? Speaker 7 (6:29) Sure. I saw something really cool about Dolly. She handpicked the Broadway stars that are gonna tell her story in a Broadway show called Dolly, A True Original Musical. Yeah, Speaker 1 (6:43) they've already done that here in Nashville. They brought it to Nashville, same actors. They did it here and now they're taking it to Broadway. Speaker 7 (6:48) Well, I missed that. Yeah, Speaker 1 (6:49) I think she was even at the premiere. Speaker 7 (6:52) Oh, okay. Well, this just popped up on my feed two hours ago and I had no idea. Okay. Anything Speaker 1 (6:57) Dolly's going to pop into the feed right now. And also they know to repurpose all of that as well. Oh, Speaker 7 (7:01) so they got me with the repurposing. Well, Speaker 1 (7:03) they're also taking it to Broadway and it was only here for a while. Speaker 7 (7:07) Well, then that's fair. I'm excited to potentially go to New York, see it on Broadway. And I just thought it was cool. She was part, I mean, okay. It's already been done. I thought that like, this was some secret they were working on and she hand selected and she was like, when I die, you can release this. Speaker 1 (7:21) Nah, they did it here. Speaker 7 (7:23) Well, breaking news. We got Speaker 5 (7:25) coffee from Dolly the other day. Did you see that? Cup of ambition coffee? The Speaker 7 (7:28) flavor profile of that was really good. Like it was, it had some like chocolate and I don't know. I couldn't pick up on the other hints. Could you? It wasn't just plain black coffee. It was. Had some flavor. I don't Speaker 1 (7:41) like coffee, so. Speaker 7 (7:43) This you might have liked. Speaker 1 (7:45) So it's not coffee. It's a cup of ambition. Speaker 7 (7:47) Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 1 (7:48) Man, she's still making tons of money. That's just more for them to fight over. I know. Speaker 5 (7:52) Do you know what I think is weird? That like she did so many videos knowing that she wasn't going to be alive. Because like there's like a museum opening up and they like have a video of her releasing the museum. Obviously, she knew she was going to just record that knowing she's not going to be around. Or she knew she Speaker 1 (8:09) wasn't feeling well and may not be able to get there. Dude, that's wild. And Speaker 5 (8:13) then Speaker 1 (8:13) she goes and sets up, because she has kind of a center that she goes and works out of. I don't think she did all of them knowing she was going to die. Oh, really? I think she did all of them at one time, knowing she wasn't feeling very well, what she was going through. I don't think she goes, these are going to be released after my death. Speaker 7 (8:29) Like those are obligations she was going to fulfill, whether healthy or unhealthy. Speaker 1 (8:33) Because she was already releasing some videos while she was alive, going, hey, it's Dolly, I can't be there, but... So maybe some, but I think once you got to the point where they knew it was going south-south, I don't think they were recording videos. Speaker 5 (8:46) So that's what I pictured. You know how you come in with your stack of spots? All right, here are your spots. Here are your death Speaker 1 (8:51) videos. Got Speaker 5 (8:53) to read all these. Yeah. Speaker 1 (8:55) Okay. Sorry Speaker 7 (8:55) I didn't give you anything new. It's okay. It's new to me. So maybe it's new to somebody else. Speaker 1 (9:01) I'm sure it's new to most people. I know they just did the first parts of that show here and maybe it was just a test. So, Eddie, your story. Guys, there's a guy Speaker 5 (9:12) out of St. Louis. This is bizarre. So he is, I think he's in his 50s maybe. But he was adopted when he was really young, lived with his adopted parents. And then recently he got a call from like a half brother and said, hey, dude, I did 23andMe. You're my half brother. He's like, awesome, cool. Hey, why don't we just find out who our family is? So he did another DNA test. They got more information. Found out that his dad was Michael McDonald. From Speaker 1 (9:40) Doobie Brothers. Oh. And from Michael McDonald, Yacht Rock. Yeah, Yacht Rock. But he's also Doobie Brothers lead singer, isn't Speaker 5 (9:47) he? Speaker 1 (9:47) Yes, yes, Speaker 5 (9:47) yes. Speaker 1 (9:48) Remember we saw them maybe on the Speaker 7 (9:49) steamboat? Yep, on the boat. Speaker 5 (9:51) So that's crazy. And then like he said that he's been cool. Like they have had conversations. Michael McDonald and his mom were really young, you know, when they had Speaker 1 (10:00) him. Speaker 5 (10:00) Yeah, what's that story? I mean, they were like 17, I think, when they had him. They were both really young and they couldn't, you know, raise him. So they put him up for adoption. That was really pretty much it. 74 Speaker 1 (10:12) -year-old McDonald had his son when he was 14 years old. 14, there you go. And put him up for adoption. Speaker 7 (10:17) 14? Speaker 1 (10:18) Mm-hmm. Speaker 7 (10:19) Yikes. Speaker 1 (10:19) A man named Michael in St. Louis found out his dad is Michael McDonald after nearly 60 years. Speaker 5 (10:27) So they said they had a phone call, right? And they were like just kind of talking, catching up. And he asked like, so what do you do for a living? He said, I'm a musician. And they slowly went like more and more into it. He said, wait, are you Michael McDonald? Michael McDonald? He's like, yep, that's me. Speaker 5 (10:43) I wonder if he wondered where his kid was. Speaker 7 (10:46) Oh, I'm sure. Speaker 5 (10:47) Yeah, he did say he had a Speaker 7 (10:48) lot Speaker 5 (10:49) of regret his whole life. Speaker 1 (10:50) But Speaker 5 (10:51) he's glad that he was raised right by the right people. 14 Speaker 1 (10:55) as well. If you have no money, no resources, and you're 14. Speaker 7 (11:00) Yeah. And Speaker 1 (11:01) you have no parents that have resources. Speaker 5 (11:03) I think mom was 14 too. So like they were both really, really young. What if mom was like 25? Speaker 7 (11:08) I mean, Speaker 5 (11:09) I would think they were both Speaker 7 (11:09) teens. Let's hope she was 14 and not. Gosh, any younger or older. They Speaker 1 (11:15) look similar. I saw the pictures of them. Michael McDonald and him? Their ages Speaker 7 (11:18) matched. Speaker 1 (11:19) What do you mean? Speaker 7 (11:20) Oh, you mean, I thought you meant the mom and the dad. No, I'm talking about the Speaker 1 (11:24) son and the dad. Father and son. They look pretty similar. Yeah, Speaker 7 (11:27) I thought you were saying like, oh, they look like their ages match, so it's okay. Speaker 1 (11:31) So the woman who... was going to be executed got a stay of execution they reversed that they tried to execute her they put two vials in her she did not die and now she's all in the news Krista Pike she is in critical condition she is receiving life-saving care after surviving the attempt to execute her on Wednesday earlier in the week which we talked about yesterday so as you hear this She may be fully healthy or dead. As we record this, it's like, you know, 10 a.m. on Friday morning. But the 50-year-old received the two doses of the drug but continued breathing and moving, leaving questions about what went wrong. Her lawyer, Randall Spivey, said workers used at least seven needles in her left arm, including one that appeared bent when removed. He said her right arm turned purple. While her legal team learned of burning and blisters around the injection sites, medical experts said those signs could mean the drug entered nearby tissue rather than her bloodstream. Speaker 1 (12:32) So they put it in the wrong place, possibly, according to what they're saying happened physically with her body. So Bill Lee, the governor, has paused her execution while an outside team investigates. This was Tennessee's second failed execution attempt this year, which we learned that first one was they couldn't find a vein more than there were possible mess-ups. Speaker 5 (12:55) Kind of sounds like the same situation here. Speaker 1 (12:57) Couldn't find the vein, so it went into tissue. In the end, yes. Wow. Initially, it didn't sound like that because they just said, well, we put it in her, she didn't die. And that first one, I don't know they could even get in that guy just from the limited knowledge I have of the first one. That's from CBS News. But it is like morbidly ironic. You try to kill somebody and then when you don't kill them, well, now you got to really get them back fully alive so you can try to kill them again. Speaker 7 (13:18) Right. And life support or whatever. Critical condition. Critical condition. All these things were paying to, I don't know. I don't want to have to kill her again. That's not my point, but it's like, I don't understand the process. Because then there's all this money going towards keeping her alive and care. Speaker 1 (13:38) That's humanity money. I Speaker 7 (13:40) know, which I'm fine with. Speaker 1 (13:42) Meaning you can't just sit her there and let her be tortured. Speaker 7 (13:45) That seems like weird. It's like at that point, let's just keep her alive. But even Speaker 5 (13:48) like how long it takes to execute. Like, I mean, she committed the crime in her teens. She's 50 years old and now they're executing her. That's a lot of Speaker 1 (13:57) prison time. She was on death row and she was the only woman on death row. And I believe. maybe the third or fourth woman to ever be executed in the state and the other ones were in the 1800s? Speaker 7 (14:07) Yeah, because it's been 200 years. And I was like, what did those women do? Speaker 1 (14:11) It's a bad story. You don't want to know. Oh, you looked it up? This one? Speaker 7 (14:14) No, no, no, not this one. Oh, this one's a bad one Speaker 1 (14:16) too. Speaker 5 (14:17) This one's Speaker 1 (14:17) a bad one, yeah. Well, people keep hitting me up going, hey, what about the people that she tortured? Well, that's not what we're talking about here. We're literally not talking about her crime at all. We're talking about the protocol of when you try to put someone down. Well, that's what we said with the dog. But we try. And they live. We're just talking about that. We're not talking about her crime at all, which was awful, which there's a reason why she's being executed. Yeah, Speaker 7 (14:38) you're not on death row for, you know. Yeah, stealing a pumpkin. Speaker 1 (14:42) A Speaker 7 (14:42) light crime. Speaker 1 (14:43) Yeah, so there's no talk of what she did and that she shouldn't be punished. Now, you can have the conversation of, should there be the death penalty? That's a conversation, and I think that will be had until the end of time. I saw the Pope talking about it, and he was going, hmm, if you don't. believe there should be abortion, but you do believe in the death penalty, you're not pro-life. Speaker 7 (15:05) I've always been conflicted with that. Speaker 1 (15:07) That's something to be conflicted over. Speaker 7 (15:10) But man. People are pretty passionate about it. like leaning one way towards abortion and the other way of death penalty. Speaker 1 (15:20) I'm Speaker 7 (15:21) just Speaker 1 (15:21) not a big fan of the death penalty. I would rather not kill anybody and not have anybody accidentally be killed that was innocent. Speaker 7 (15:27) Yes. That's Speaker 1 (15:28) what it's about to me. If we could absolutely identify people that did it and we had 100 % and you're going, no doubt about it, God comes down and goes, yes, they did it for sure. I wouldn't mind with the penalty of the death penalty here with people who deserve it. But if there's one person, that is killed, that was innocent. And I'm sure there have been many. It's not worth it. It's not worth it to kill one person that didn't do it. That's where, that's my personal feelings on it. Speaker 7 (15:55) Yeah. Speaker 7 (15:57) I align with that. It's just sort of, and I haven't always, I haven't always aligned with that. And I, but I think younger, when I was younger, I wasn't really thinking it through like with my own thoughts. I was just like, oh, this is what people tell me. Speaker 1 (16:11) Well, the fair thing about that is that we're all what we learned as children from the people that taught it to us until we either gain new perspective or we don't. Like we are our environment and everything we know, everything we believe, we're our environment. There's a reason we're not for Buddhists in this room right now. We didn't grow up with our parents being Buddhist, teaching us that Buddhism is the way to go. If we did, it would be different. If we lived in a different part of the world, it would be completely different. So we are our environment completely. But you're like that with everything you do. You surround yourself with people that can make you better, make you worse, or keep you the same. So yeah, I just don't want anybody that's innocent to be killed. So I'd rather not kill anybody to keep anybody from being innocent being killed. Speaker 7 (16:52) Yeah. Speaker 1 (16:53) But again, if God come down and go, they did it for sure, firing squad, if they deserved it. Because I'm not anti people getting the punishment they deserve. Yeah, or Speaker 7 (17:01) like castration or something. I can get on board with that. That's Speaker 1 (17:04) a Speaker 7 (17:04) good one Speaker 1 (17:04) for a lot of people. Yeah. I'm anti people that are innocent being killed. Speaker 7 (17:11) Yeah. Speaker 1 (17:12) And it's hard to have that 100
