Now on with the show, when my daughter was in seventh grade, she had a cell phone like she had an old cell phone, iPhone five, I think it was of mine. And she had it in her pocket. And one day at school, she dropped it and she lost it. Now, she was pretty sure at the time that she knew who had it. But it became this huge all encompassing thing for me for about 24 hours where I was so obsessed with the fact that she had lost this cell phone. And because I had a tracker on the you know, it was in the cloud. So I was able to track it. I could see where it was and I could see it moving. And so I knew somebody had it. And so I would text to it. And then you know, I shut it down, you know, you can shut down the phone remotely, but you can still send a messages to it. And she was pretty sure she knew the kid that had it. And she had asked him about it. And, you know, he was probably scared. And he said No, he didn’t have it. But we were able to track it. And I got in my car and started following it. Now, not totally the smartest thing ever. But since I was pretty sure it was just like a seventh grade kid that had it. I was like, I’m just gonna go get the phone. And so we drove to the apartment complex, and I could see it, it beeping on the satellite on my phone, and we followed it. And behind this apartment complex was this huge, huge field. And the back of the apartment complex had a fence like oh, a wire fence right to cover it. And part of the fence was actually a wall like a stone wall. And it was high. I mean it was I’m not very tall. But it was taller than me it was probably six feet tall. And so we got to the apartment complex, and I could see it on the radar. And so I you know, you can make it beep and so I’d make it beep and I could hear it. And so someone had thrown it in the woods, but it was behind this giant fence and I was like I am going to get this phone. Now at the time I owned a CrossFit gym. And so I was like I’m gonna get it, I’m gonna climb.
