Welcome to Wednesday's show.
Morning studio.
Morning.
Amy, I want to start with a story that you were telling you.
Let me. And Amy asked, would you sue? Now, I'm going to approach this. I've never sued anybody in my life. And the answer is probably no. But for the sake of, let's act like maybe you sue sometimes.
Okay. Would you sue? Amy, the floor is yours. Okay. So I am not a litigious person either, but this one got me thinking because my friends took their child for a flu shot and the child left with a COVID vaccine. And my friends, they're not anti-vax. I think they're vaccinated themselves.
they just weren't ready for their kid to get it.
And they got the, that's what the, that was stuck in the arm.
And they thought they were there for a flu shot.
So it was just all very confusing.
Yeah, I don't know.
You know this couple as well.
But I don't know.
I just was shocked by it.
And they handled it well.
And they're like, well, just luckily we monitored, you know, our child, no symptoms.
Because, you know, the vaccine can give you all kinds of things.
And the, everything turned out fine.
So now they're like, well, on the bright side, we're all vaccinated.
I will be so mad.
I will be so, so mad.
Yeah.
It doesn't matter if you go in for A and they give you B.
Right.
Because what could have happened?
Right.
What if they were there for something else that was more?
I mean, that's still a serious, especially if you're someone that doesn't want to have anything to do with the vaccine.
Or if, let's just say, your kid reacted to it in a bad way and you never asked for it.
Right.
Like, it could have gone extremely poor.
Thank God that nothing bad happened.
Would I sue?
If I'm them, and it's all fine, probably not.
But if something bad happened to the kid, maybe.
Yeah.
But you can't do that.
I don't know where the issue is.
I don't know if the mix-up is, did they accidentally say it wrong?
Did somebody click a wrong box?
Did they just grab the wrong needle?
Are they right next to each other?
Because we went to urgent care over the weekend, and they have two things.
One says used pens, one says new pens.
They're right beside each other.
And I grabbed a used pen like an idiot.
And I used it.
And then I was like, oh!
And then I grabbed my head.
I'm like, what did you do?
So I can see how you could easily mix things up.
But you're talking about needles and doctors and nurses.
That's tough.
I'll be so mad.
You?
I mean, yeah, I would be so mad.
I guess I would assess my situation.
And like them, nothing bad happened.
So I'd be thankful.
But gosh, I'd be so mad.
I wouldn't sue.
But, you know, then where, what?
Yeah, like you said, if it caused other symptoms, would I?
Or if it made my child sick.
in a way and then I might reconsider.
But I probably would sue?
Oh, absolutely. Sue.
That's at least worth $100,000 for pain and suffering and mental anguish.
And I guarantee you that doctor's office would settle out of court because they don't want
that in the public eye.
They don't want that getting out of the newspaper and the press.
So you go to them, say, hey, I'm suing.
The newspaper.
They'll write you a check right there, 100,000.
They don't want the newsies on the streets yelling, extra, extra.
Baby get stabbed with wrong vaccine.
Oh, man.
I'd sue, sue, sue, sue.
You sued a lot of people over the years on this show.
Yes.
That's how you make money?
No, you never did.
But how many did you sue in real life, though?
Well, well, none of that has happened to me, though.
If they gave my kid the wrong one, guess what?
All of a sudden, I'm anti-vaccin.
I'm suing.
All of a sudden.
Yeah.
That stinks, though.
I know.
That's very lucky that nothing happened to the baby.
Just the fact they mix up needles blows my mind.
Instead of suing, can you ask the doctor's office?
Hey, can I just do free visits for the rest of the year?
You probably ask for whatever you want.
Right?
Yeah.
Yeah, and I need to circle back with this friend too,
because another friend brought up, like, the age of the child.
I don't want to give too many details.
But, like, I don't even think that this child was old enough
to even get that vaccine.
That kid turns out of a bit superhero now.
Yeah.
Okay, it's that time of the morning where we open up the mailbag.
Let's go.
You send an email and we read it on the air.
It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag.
Yeah.
Hello, Bobby Bones.
I've been married for almost 11.
years. And recently, I was sitting next to my wife and I see she has a DM on her Instagram and notice it's a message that she sent to a male celebrity with two emojis that have hearts as eyes.
I'm not sure how to feel about this. Yes, we all have that one celebrity that we find attractive. But my thinking is, if she can do this to a celebrity, what makes me think that she couldn't send something like this to a non-celebrity?
Am I overthinking this?
Thank you.
Signed anonymous.
Amy, be the wife.
Tell me why are you doing that?
My first thing is that he's overthinking it.
I feel like, because you send it to a celebrity that means it's like not real.
It's just maybe the celebrity, I don't know the contents of the DM.
Was she reacting to something he posted?
Because what if he posted a picture of him and his baby?
Or puppy.
Yeah, that was like, heart eyes.
I mean, that means nothing.
So I feel like until there's more.
substance here to get worked up about.
Don't create or give yourself anxiety over something that doesn't even exist.
Yes, that is, as Morgan would say, a yellow flag.
It's not a red flag.
Yeah.
But it is a yellow flag to go, I wonder what this is.
You can even ask her.
You're sitting next to her.
Hey, you just sent Ryan Gosling some hard eyes.
And she's like, yeah, because he'll never see it.
And then you're like, do you mind if I send do Aleepa some hard?
You know, I don't know what the...
She'd say, go for her.
for it. I don't know what the approach is. Good luck. But I would think as long as the message isn't,
hey, if you're ever in town, here's my cell phone. Oh my. Yeah, that part. That's different.
And I'm kind of torn on this and I'll tell you why. I don't think this is something that
should create a big fight because you don't know the context. Find out the context. It's your wife.
You've been together 11 years. You can ask her. No, by reading this email, I don't think
it's a big deal. That being said, Amy made a point where people send messages.
to celebrities because it's not real.
And I know how people think that.
But I would tell you, we are in an age now where it is easier to reach people.
And they may be looking at those messages.
And they do feel very real, especially if you're mean.
Like, I get some hateful, hateful messages where people just don't think I'm a real person.
My wife gets hateful, hateful messages where people don't think she's a real person.
Like, she is a literal human with emotions that when you, me too.
When you say something that is extremely cutting or personal, it sucks.
And so I would also say this about getting into comments or fights with other people on Facebook.
Just because they're far away and you really don't know them doesn't mean they're not real people.
If we approached speaking to people on the internet like we do in real life, I think we wouldn't have a lot of that.
Some of that says vile, man.
And I know that a lot of the people that are awful on the internet aren't awful in human.
in like real human world.
And that's what stinks.
We should act online like we act in real life.
At least a little more like that.
Because it is, it is, it is tough.
And I have friends in the music industry, they get messages.
And it's hard.
It's really hard.
Because people think, well, they're not real.
They're not going to read this.
No, it sucks.
It sucks.
But I don't think this is anything to worry about.
That's just my sidebar.
Anything you'd like to say to that, Amy.
Yeah.
I mean, well, when you put it that way, yeah,
Yes, they are real and comments might be seen.
But I think if she's throwing it out there to a celebrity she follows online, it could be completely harmless.
And I give you permission.
If anybody attacks me or my wife in the comments, attack them back.
I give you full permission.
Go at them.
Let them know.
Fight fire with fire.
That's what I say.
Well, I've noticed, too, if I ever reply to something mean, whether it's an email or a comment,
then they come back with, oh my gosh, I've listened to the show every day, big fan.
And I'm like, wait, what?
I hope you die.
I want to hope you die.
You're ruining radio.
And I'm like, hey, you know, I'm just doing the show that I'm doing me.
And they're like, oh, you read these?
Oh, we do listen for an hour every morning.
I'm like, no, no, you just hope that died.
Yeah.
You just hope I, in a violent crash.
And now we're cool.
So, anyway, we had dinner the next night.
It was great.
You all are friends now.
Yeah, nothing to worry about, buddy.
You can even ask her about it.
You've been married 11 years.
That's the mail bag.
Close it up.
We've got your email and we read it on the air.
Now it's about to close Bobby's mailback.
Yeah.
When I was a kid, I had to remember everybody's phone numbers.
It's something that kids don't have to do anymore.
But when I was a kid, if I wanted to call my buddies,
and I still have a lot of those numbers memorized from when I was nine years old.
Wow.
Yeah.
Do you do?
Most, if not all.
Huh.
I could call my friend Evans home right now.
That's impressive.
Yeah, I could not.
So, because we didn't have cell phones, and there wasn't a way to store a number.
unless you have like a speed dial on your touchtone, which is what they used to be called,
you definitely didn't have the number stored.
So if you're upper 30s, 40 and over, there was a day when you had to remember a phone number
to actually call it.
But now cell phones have made that pretty obsolete where you don't have to remember anybody's
number ever.
Like think about what numbers you've learned in the past 10 years that you have actually
had to learn.
Amy, do you have any?
I mean, like a few, like mine when I get a new cell phone number.
Let's eliminate hours.
Okay.
That's always hard.
Now, no, I haven't.
There's nothing I can think of that I have had.
Like, even my daughter now has a cell phone.
I don't know the number.
I don't know Kailen's cell phone number.
I should know it.
Well, you should get that.
It's almost like I have GPS in my car.
I don't know how to get anywhere because I just get in and go, boom, push the button, and go.
Oh, that's true.
So what's happening is technology is making things so easy that if it does regress a bit,
we're all going to be dumb domes and not know how to do anything.
And memorizing is so good for our brains, and we hardly have to do it anymore.
Had to remember any numbers?
I just recently learned my wife's number because I had to.
I'm like, all right, I've gone years not knowing this.
So I finally know it.
But my son has a phone, too.
I don't know that number.
I'm with Amy.
In a new poll, people were asked how many phone numbers they had memorized,
other than their own.
That didn't count.
31% of people said zero.
I'm surprised it's not higher than that.
Because I don't know any.
Well, I have my husband memorized, but he's had it since 2006 or something.
That's pretty good.
I know lunchboxes because we used to give it out in the air.
Oh, yeah.
That's crazy.
We had a whole big voice guy going, 210.
It just went on.
What else did the voice guy say?
And then it was if lunchbox did something to be punished, we would just hit the button.
And it was his legitimate cell phone number.
And here would get calls day and night.
Early in the morning, late at night.
It would ring 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
It's never stopped.
Same number?
Same number.
Some people still call you?
I still get texts.
Hey, man, EML, just wanted to see how you're doing.
Which EML was the term we used for our early morning listeners.
10 years ago?
Yep.
Hilarious.
38% said they had to 19% so they know up to 5.
Wow.
Those old Einstein's.
And then only 1% of people so they know more than 10 phone numbers.
Like, why are you memorizing phone numbers?
Now I'm suspicious.
It's gone the other way.
I'm like, what are you up to over there?
But back in the day, and I don't think Morgan ever lived in this time
where you had to memorize everybody's phone numbers.
No, we had like call our ID.
So, and then we had cell phones.
That was about all we had.
Look at you.
I'm not even turning.
I mean, I do remember my mom and dad's because I had to in case I was at school and got in trouble.
But besides that, that was it.
Yeah, still me now.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
Tell me something good.
So there's a big apartment fire in Mesa, Arizona, and the cops get there and smoke's pouring out of one of the windows.
And one of the cops, like, I think I hear someone.
yelling from one of the windows, but the window is closed.
So the cop takes a rock, throws it, and busts out the window.
A civilian comes up and goes, hey, I'm actually a pretty good climber because the fire department wasn't there yet.
And he just starts climbing up the apartment to go into the window.
So he climbs up and he goes in and he pulls out the complete window frame so they don't get cut.
Because if you're coming through broken glass, I guess you can cut pretty bad.
And he grabs a two-year-old girl out from the window and then like takes her and drops her to an officer.
Amazing.
Random civilian?
That's what it says.
A civilian walks up and just starts climbing.
Next, the civilian went back into the apartment and rescued another six-year-old girl,
handing her off to the officers below.
Both girls were transported to the hospital where they are expected to be okay.
According to witnesses, if it hadn't been for the Good Samaritan,
the incident would have turned out much differently.
I wonder if you're the cop, like, dude, let me do that.
Yeah.
Or the cops is like, hey, take it away.
And I'm sure he didn't go, hey, do you mind?
He probably just did it?
Because I don't think a cop be like, yeah, buddy, go ahead.
Yeah.
But good for that, dude.
In the end, two kids were saved.
Who was this guy?
Apparently, he had a mask on, and as he walked away, he was like,
my job is never done, and they don't know.
Interesting.
So that's what it's all about right there.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
We all know, but we don't know how, that our phones are listening to us.
I don't know how if they're listening for certain words.
I don't know if there's a little man in there.
I don't know.
I would go with no man, but they're listening.
But I have no idea how it works.
You would think with everything being listening.
leaked out, I don't know how Facebook or our phones know exactly where we are or what we
mentioned.
Yeah.
That part's wild to me because where we are I get because they're tracking us all the
time.
But when I'm talking about something and then it pops up in an ad, is it listening for
keywords?
Yes.
Okay, tell me more.
Tell me more about what you know.
Well, that's what I think.
I don't know.
It's, I mean, it goes when sometimes I'm thinking about something and it gives me the ad and
I'm like, this is getting weird.
Which is my point.
We don't really know.
We don't know if it's listening to everything or if it's triggered at keywords.
For example, I don't want everybody to be triggered, but Galexa.
When you say, when you talk to Galexa, it's really only triggered when you say that.
But she's listening as long as she's plugged in, I think.
Employees at several Apple stores across the United States are unionizing based on their pay.
But what's happening is they're getting down into their lifestyles.
and they're finding that most of Apple's retail employees are using Android phones to keep secrets
because they know that the phones are tracking and listening.
Wow.
Or is it, let me just throw another idea out there.
Well, we're texting people.
Obviously, the phone knows.
It's understanding what we're putting into it.
So if you write the word golf, just to a friend, like, hey, you're going to play golf next week?
Or, hey, looking for a new car.
Then it gives you new car ads.
It can also probably tell and know what you're writing and use that, not just words.
But when Apple employees are going, I'm going to use an Android because we know something.
They know something.
And people are worried about the COVID vaccine, like a chip in it.
Your phones are tracking you.
Everything you think something's happening with the vaccine, which is not, they're not tracking you with that.
Your phones are already doing it.
The other day I told my wife told her, hey, I think we need a new mattress.
My back hurts.
And then I'm talking 10 minutes later on my Facebook, it's like a mattress ad.
How?
It heard you say mattress.
And was it ready to be triggered for mattress?
Meaning, were there mattress companies that are already paid and said, okay, we've paid for our ads?
So if anyone in this area says the word, let it trigger and show an ad.
Because I don't think they're just grabbing words and putting ads up who aren't already paying for it.
Okay. That makes sense.
That's my understanding that I've created in my head.
So if you took like a business that's out of business, like block.
You'll know that ad will never come up.
You're not going Friday night, two for one.
Blockbuster's not, but they, but they might be like, you know what, well, it's an alternative
to Blockbuster Netflix.
Now it could be, let's say that, that, that, um, bad example, because they don't exist
either, but 24-hour video is up and they're like, okay, if anybody mentions Blockbuster,
we'll put that in our word search.
Yes.
You know it mentions that, then our ad should come up.
Yeah.
But I think, I don't know.
Yeah.
But I think that's what's up.
I have to do that.
I used to make fun of my husband for having an Android, but.
He has his reasons.
He knows stuff too.
Let me get back to that in a second.
Yes.
We have a friend that has an Android, and I'll get back to Amy's husband in one second.
But there's a group chat that we're on.
There's like four of us.
And he has an Android and it runs the whole thing.
Yeah, he's the green.
You can do any little ha-haz or thumbs-ups on top of it.
Or you can thumbs up it, but it will copy and paste the whole thing.
Yeah.
I know, I know.
It's like we're in 2022 and he's in like 97.
I know.
But he's probably, he works for Apple.
I swear.
I swear.
He works for Apple.
Um, your husband covered up any camera on the computer in your house with a
Post-it note.
Post-it notes, tape, whatever.
And why do he do that?
Hey, because military people know military things.
They do.
Yeah.
Do you really know?
Okay, scratch your face.
If you do really know something, but you just can't say because you're,
here, I'll take the camera off.
No, I mean, I think he just works with people that, that he works with people on the
government level of things that tell him things where he's like, okay.
Got it noted.
And words are very non-committal.
Things.
People.
Government, official.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know, yeah, he's like, okay, fine, I'm ruining the group text.
Sorry.
Well, he's not the one that ruins our group text.
I know, but he does ours.
Like, if, like, family stuff is going on or if people are trying, they're like,
who's the guy in green?
I just wish somebody would get sued and they had to release all the information as to
exactly how and exactly why and exactly what is happening.
I can ask my brother.
He might know.
I just don't think that randoms know
He's not, my brother's not random
He works in like tech and he's like
He's one of those people that just knows everything
Black, dark web?
Probably
He's been on the computer since the computer.
You think the FBI would know?
I'm gonna ask someone in that.
I'm gonna shout at the FBI.
Have you been in the dark left?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
All right anyway.
On the phone right now is Ron
who lives in South Carolina.
Carolina. Hey, Ron, what's happening?
Hey, Bob. Good morning. Good morning, studio.
Morning.
So we talk, I hear we talk a lot about running into celebrities and how to react and whether
to approach them or not. So I find out, yes, on Sunday, my daughter lives in an adjacent
state to where I live. Chris Stapleton is going to be staying next to her in the house
like 20 feet away from her for a month recording an album. I'm curious.
to the studio's thoughts on how they would react to Chris Stapleton,
staying in the house literally next to them.
Do you just let him stay there and hang out and not make it public?
Or do you go over and introduce yourself and welcome him to the town that you're in?
It's an interesting question.
It's all you.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
So this is what I would say, mostly knowing Chris,
he's a very private person just to begin with.
So I think a lot of what I'm going to say reflects not only celebrity culture, but also Chris himself.
It would be very kind to offer anyone, any sort of help, period.
Okay?
So I'm going to lead with that.
What I would do, I wouldn't go over to the house and knock on the door and be like, hey, Chris Stample-a-Zee.
What you, buddy.
It's my favorite song.
What I would do, first of all, is nothing.
I would respect the privacy of whomever was in that house.
Chris Stapleton or Amy's cousin.
It doesn't matter.
That's your place inside those walls.
That is your private area.
Next up, if I were to see at a time that I was out,
maybe getting in the driveway, the car in the driveway,
and they were, Chris, somebody from his team,
you could just say, hey, guys, I know Ron, you're not living next door.
Be like, hey, I'm Ron.
I'm the neighbor.
if you guys need anything, feel free to come knock on the door.
I would offer your services at a time when it wasn't weird to offer your services.
That's nice.
I just don't think for anyone I would go up and knock on the door and go, what's going on in there?
Okay.
I don't even like how people do that to me.
Right.
Like as a normal person, whenever I just move into a place.
Oh.
So like, but if you would normally be that person that welcomes someone into the neighborhood,
So you just set that aside.
Especially because you know the situation.
Bread and cookies, something like that.
Because you know the situation and you know, because I'm telling you now,
that Chris is a very private person.
I would say that you do not, you'll knock on the door,
that if you do see them out in an organic circumstance,
you can go, hey, I'm wrong.
If you guys need anything, let me know.
You know what?
They're probably not going to need anything.
You're right.
Or they're good.
I mean, I'm sure I'll figure it out.
third time, if you do kind of develop some sort of, you know, relationship, like you talk,
you know, you're picking out the paper and your underwear outside, I don't know, be like,
hey, we'd love to make dinner for you guys. You could do that. But that needs to be like third or
fourth once you have a conversation and you have this super substancey relationship, but at least you have that.
So I would say veer to the side of leave him alone. But it's pretty cool. Would you tell the whole town?
No. I wouldn't because I wouldn't want the, I wasn't told on me.
Right.
That's my advice, Ron.
Good advice.
If it were John Party, I'd go over with a keg.
Be like, what up, John Party?
Different for everybody.
Yes, different for everybody.
All right, Ron, have a great day.
Good morning, buddy.
I hope you have an awesome rest of the day.
Thank you, you too.
I'm just confusing myself with that sentence.
All right.
All right, this is Julie from St. Louis.
Hey, so just had a question.
I was at the Luke Bryan concert this past weekend in Vegas,
and I saw his wife and boys in the concert,
and they were just sitting there watching.
And, of course, the boys were, like, bored out of their minds.
and it made me laugh.
No one, like, said anything to them.
No one, like, knew that it was them.
And so my question is, can I go say hello?
Would that have been not okay?
Like, what's the rule on famous people's families?
I think Caroline Bryan is totally on limits.
If she's out in a public place and you can actually get to her and say hi,
say hi.
She's a public figure.
She's on Instagram.
She's got maybe a million followers.
I'm not sure.
Yeah, she's famous.
Yeah, so Caroline on limits, I would say, though, you really only see the kids secondarily in Luke's pictures are Carolines.
And they're under 18.
I'd probably not just go up to them, be like, can I get a picture?
I think it's fair to say hi to anybody.
They're just walking by, I'd be like, hey, guys, but I wouldn't ask the kids for a picture.
Yeah.
You can say hi to anybody.
There is no rule against that.
But kids are always dicey.
If you're ever on the fence about kids, don't.
Just period.
with anything. Anything.
It's a good.
Like the only way that it ends up being okay for kids is if, like, say you're talking to Caroline
and the whole family's right there and you take a picture with Caroline and Caroline's
like, hey, kids, hop in and they're like, okay, mom.
Because she brought them in.
Right.
Yes.
Just remember, if it's questionable with the kids, don't do it.
Ever.
Ever.
If you have to ask yourself, should I?
Don't care the scenario.
The answer is no.
Okay.
Thank you.
That's a good call, though.
It's funny, too, to think about Luke's kids.
They're like, all right, dad.
Just another day.
seen this before.
The Bible Bowl show.
Here's Amy's
pile of stories.
So did you know
the NFL water boys
get paid over $50,000?
I would assume
because their job is more
than just putting water in a bucket.
Oh, so you already knew that.
No.
But when you say that,
I would assume they have other
responsibilities.
Well, yes, they do.
They are most of the time
athletic trainers
who usually have a degree
and they can help
treat the injured players
on, like, game day
or throughout the week.
And all they're making
is $50,000?
They're an athletic trainer?
Technically, $53,000 a year plus perks.
They must be the lower, lower end.
Yeah, starting job.
Who are just coming in, and they also have to do the water.
Here's a water boy talking about what they do.
Now, there's a misconception that these people just hand out water and towels,
and while that's what you see on game day, that's not the whole truth.
These are trainers on the athletic training staff.
They tape guys up, provide other treatments before and after games, and throughout the week.
So look at this more as an apprenticeship to learn the craft instead of just squirting water bottles.
That makes sense.
Boom. Okay.
Have you heard of hiatus brain?
I think I get it every Sunday from about noon to four.
Well, it's what happens when there's too long of a gap between a show's seasons and you forget stuff that happened when the new season starts.
And they say it's happening more and more because the gaps continue to grow.
Like, we used to have to wait back in the day three to four months maybe between a season and you might not forget what happened.
Sometimes now we wait a year or two years for another season to come out.
Well, if you get hiatus brain, the doctor can prescribe you one of those little previews on Netflix that reminds you of everything that happened.
Oh, is that what you do?
It's like a two-minute little, yeah.
You got a little Walgreens for that?
Yeah, you've got to go and push the button and then it shows it.
Yeah.
For my hiatus brain, I've had to go back to the previous season and like watch.
Oh, I would never do that.
I would just go into it.
I don't remember.
I would never.
Oh, all right?
So Kelly Clarkson was doing her Kellyoki, which is the karaoke on her show.
And she did some boot scoop and boogie by Brooks and Dunn.
So obviously her fans are freaking out over this
And this kind of brought back to the table
That she should release a country album
And even when I read that I was like
Oh my gosh yeah Kelly Clarkson's never done in a country album
I don't think she's a country artist though
I know but dang she'd be good
Well yeah she'd be good putting at an opera album
She's just good
Spanish album
Yeah she was a great singer
I'm Amy that's my pile
That was Amy's pile of stories
It's time for
the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
Another story of a kid doing something awesome that will hopefully inspire adults.
This 10-year-old in New York, her name is Sophie Enderton, and she found out that her
grandpa, Terry, had cancer.
But when he was telling her about the chemo treatments and what it was all like, she was like,
oh, I want to help you and the people around you getting chemo.
Because if you aren't familiar, a lot of times when you're getting your chemo treatment,
you're in this big room in recliners with a lot of other people.
you're all just there getting your chemo.
And so she decided to put together a little chemo comfort bags with blankets, pillows,
cozy socks, games, and snacks because you're there a really long time and it can get cold.
Well, her grandfather sadly passed away, but she has continued chemo comfort bags in his honor.
And so she's gathering up stuff right now.
And in March, she plans on doing another drop not only to like adults getting chemo treatment,
but even the pediatric side of things.
So helping out other kids with cancer too.
Man, that's something you would really only know about unless you've, if you've been through it.
Yeah.
Like when you're talking about it, you're giving sex your details because you know about it.
Yeah, I've been in chemo rooms with my dad and my mom.
Yeah, and we went through that.
And it is.
It's very, like, some people are there.
And you get to know the people.
You kind of pop in if you're there on the same day of the week.
And it is really cool.
But it does get cold.
You do get hungry.
You do get bored.
So blankets, cozy socks, games, and snacks is like the perfect chemo comfort bag.
That is a good story.
Sad about the grandpa, but that is a good story.
That's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
