We always say that trust your girlfriends. Listen to the Girlfriends, trust me, babe, on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I got you. I'm Agoode. My next guest, it's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot. But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar. of, you know, the cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Monday show. Morning, studio. Morning. All right, let's do the get-to-no question. And Eddie, I'm going to go to you first. Come on. And we'll go all the way around the room.

What is your favorite quality about yourself and your least favorite quality about yourself? Ooh. This is a tough one. It is. I would say that my favorite quality of myself is that I'm able to, I'm able to have fun wherever I go. That is absolutely true. Like I can find fun. If there's fun to be had, I can find it and we're going to have fun.

Okay. I think the worst quality of myself, probably when I drive and I have the road rage. I mean, I'm not a road rager. I just get angry at other drivers. You are a road rage. and you do get angry to other drivers, so that's road rage. You don't pull a gun or anything. I don't act on it, but I do get upset with other drivers.

I'd like to change that. Lunchbox, get to know you, your favorite quality about yourself and your least favorite quality about yourself. Oh, my favorite quality about myself is I'm the center of attention, life at the party. Everybody loves me. Prom King, that tells you that I'm very likable and people like to be around me. I have this aura about me. It's like, man, people gravitate towards me.

Interesting. Okay, and your least favorite? I would say impatience. I don't have patience for anything I don't have patience for stupid people I don't have patience for just anything I am very impatient like if I'm But are you ever stupid?

Oh sometimes like I misplaced my keys You know what I mean like you're like stupid people But you ever do things that people would also say You're stupid no okay No Amy favorite quality and least favorite quality It's funny lunchbox said impatience Because I think right now I would say It probably changes but I'm very proud of my patience

I am incredibly patient lately, and that's taken a lot of work, especially being a mom and different things. So I'm proud of that. And my least right now would be my attention span. Right now or forever? It's been a while. It's been a while. You've had that problem. Forever. Yeah, I've had ADHD my whole life probably.

Or at least since I hit my head. Butterflies. When I hit my head when I was eight, maybe. That's when it came. That probably wasn't it. No, I... It's probably just natural. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it.

I'm glad that you talk about it openly. Yeah, there's no shame in that. You keep shaming it. There is no shame. I actually... We don't think it's a big deal. We're like, okay, that's cool. It probably serves me well in other areas.

Okay, there you go. Go ahead. Love it. Favorite quality, probably, I think I'm extremely open-minded and not very judgmental about people's circumstances. And I feel like, I don't judge you. Do your deal, just don't hurt any kids or dogs. Be good.

I don't judge it. Yeah, that's good. And then I think. think my worst is that I think I'm always right. And if I'm not, I'm about to be right. I'm about to figure it out and be right. And so let's go. I will go to war.

Even if I know I'm wrong, I'll still go to war, then I'm right. You've been like that your whole life. It's not even that I think I'm right. Sometimes I know I'm wrong. Right. Right. But I'm going to win. When did you become aware of that?

Have the awareness that you were doing that. Forever. Oh, you've known the whole time? Yeah. Well, he knows when he's wrong. And he's saying he's right. And I still dig in. I'm like, I'm so going to win anyway.

Like there's got to be a way I can make this right. Like how can I bend time and space to make this right? Dang. Semantics even. That's crazy, man. Yeah. What's crazy? Just that. That whole...

Like, you're going to die on a hill. Like, I don't think I'm going to know it all, but I think I know a lot. And then when I don't get it right, I know I don't know it. But I'm not telling you guys I don't know it. Right. I don't know at all. But I think I'm going to know how to trick you guys into thinking out right. Yeah.

Have you talked to your therapist about that one? That's an interesting one. And also you being aware. Like, I do think there is a thing to be said that you are. aware of it. That's good. Yeah, it's sociopathic almost. He knows he's aware of it because he's wrong. There are times I'm wrong and I know I'm wrong, but I'm digging in,

baby. I know, but you're at a place where you can actually say it out loud that you know it's something that you do. And I would say it more, but I don't want you guys to know that I know I'm wrong sometimes. But hey, we've known. We already know this. Nah, you don't. You think I'm at all the time. Okay, so that's fine. Thank you. There we go. Let's open the mailbag. Bobby Melvin.

Hello, Bobby Bones. My wife and I are having a debate on what to name our first child. I'm worried he will outgrow the name my wife has picked. My wife really wants him to have a cute name and wants to name him Braxley. I want to give our son a name that will work as an adult, not just when he's a baby. I love the name Theodore and said we can compromise and call him Teddy. She doesn't like that either. I feel like the name Braxley is trendy and will feel dated by the time he's an adult.

Any advice? signed first time dad. My first piece of advice is don't name him Braxley. Really? What's wrong with that? Yeah, what's wrong with Brax? It is such a trendy, trendy name.

But trendy from what? I mean, just made up. At one point, Bobby was trendy. But it still exists. Have you ever met somebody named Braxley? No. I know a Brax. Is it Braxley?

I don't know. I know a Brax didn't. If you're making up a name, if you're making up a name, that's probably not going to roll over well. Okay. But I don't mind the name Braxley for itself, but I feel like it's just trying to do something for the sake of doing something. I feel like you're making something up just to be trendy.

Like, I got a cool name. Look, my kid's not named like anybody else. That's trendy. What about Theodore Braxley or Brachsley Theodore? Like the middle name is you. That's fine too. It's just the kid's going to grow up and his name is not. Like Brax does crack.

What? Oh, I didn't think about that. You got to think about it rhymes with. Yeah, yeah. What the bullies are going to do. They used to call me booby. Teddy. Because Bobby. Boob, yeah.

So I don't mind Theodore, but it's just you guys have to both be in agreeance. I love Theodore. Regardless of what crazy names are the one out there and not, you guys both have to agree. Yeah. Or you have to agree that she just gets the naming rights or he just gets the naming rights. But there's nothing agreed upon here, and that is why you cannot settle on Brackley or Theodore. You guys like Theodore? I don't mind.

Do you imagine if you had a friend named Theodore? I'm not going to call you that. I call him Teddy or Ted. I don't care. Theodore is kind of a cool old person name. That's my grandpa's name. My dad's dad is Theodore and he married Theodosha. Yeah, Simon, Alvin, Theodore.

Yeah. So I don't mind it. But if you both aren't in, you can't be in. That baby's going to be born out of not being in. Or take turns. I don't know if y'all are going to have more kids potentially. That means one of them gets the rights. Yeah.

That's what we did. We did first baby. She did first name. I did middle name. And then second baby, I did first name. I would do that when we have kids. I would do that, but she knows that I'm going to name the kid Bobby, regardless, so she doesn't agree to that.

Even if it's a girl? B-O-B-B-I. Yeah, Bobby. Bobby Gentry, that was a girl, right? Yeah. Bobby Lee Gentry? Yeah, Bobby Brown. I get it.

There's a lot of Bobby. Well, the Bobby Brown makeup artist. Bobby, Bobby, Millie Bobby Brown. Yeah. You both aren't agree, so you can't go forward. So you have to either agree on a name or agree that one of you get to name it, and the other one's going to be unhappy, but then you switch the next time.

That's my advice. And don't call them Braxley. It's too trendy. Man, I like Braxley. I do too. I want to call it a kid, Kabbala, give you. Nobody's even named that. It'd be so cool.

It'd be like, what's your kid's name? Combarduddin. How do you spell that? Cambardubble. Really? Capro okay. We got your email and we'll Bobby Mailbag.

Amy, you told a story a couple times about your mom. She ended up come up to your school when you were in high school because you were tardy to classes. Yeah, my math class, specifically when I was in 11th grade. It was on the third floor, and I had a third floor, and I had trouble getting there on time. And that was humiliating for you.

Yeah, I had no idea she was coming. See, the second floor is where we congregated. Everybody hung out. We talked. And then, you know, when it got close to the bell, you had to run your classes. Well, second floor, third floor is a little hard for me to get to. And I'm on the second floor one day and I get a tap on the shoulder and I turn around and it's my mom. And I said, mom, what are you doing here?

And she said, I'm here to walk you to math class since you can't get there on time. And she straight up escorted me to class. And of course, I was on time. And I was never late again. So, that's awesome. Did your friends make fun of you? I mean, I think more so I was mortified. Yeah.

I mean, it was a thing like, oh, I think it was more that they were like, Amy's mom had to come walk over class. It wasn't like, ha, ha, your mom had to come. So in a strange turn of events, history repeats itself. Yeah. Well, I'm thinking about it. Go ahead. Because I decided to log in.

I mean, these days, you can log in and, look at the portal, they update it. All the tardies are there. Unexcused tardy, unexcused tardy, unexcused tardy. You can see all that? Mm-hmm. You can see everything. And so...

That sounded weird. Yeah, I talked to my daughter about her unexcused tardies, and I started to think, well, might be time that I show up. Tap her on the shoulder and walk her to class. I mean, it worked. Amy was never late again, she said. I was never late again. Okay.

To math. Yeah. Do you remember how mortified you were and are you happy that you had that feeling now? I mean, it's cool now that my mom cared that much and she, I mean, she had a full-time job. Like, she didn't have time in her day to go do that. So looking back, I think it's really cool that she stepped away from work. So now you can appreciate it. Yeah.

And what would your daughter do if you showed up to her school? I don't think she'd appreciate it as much. And I don't even know if. She doesn't even know you're looking at her stuff. 25 years later. Sure she does. Yeah, that's, yeah, she does. Right?

You act like you were logging in. You can see anything. Yeah, stuff for the parents. Like, it's our portal. And she knows that you log in and look at her stuff. Yeah, because I've asked her, why are these unexcused? And she said, well, because this class is really far. And then, you know, Ben, her dad, he said that he actually walked it at, you know, back to school night or whatever.

That's funny. Timing it. Yeah, he wanted to make sure how she could get to. So he said, it is rather far. But I said, but you're saying it's possible. And he said it's possible, but it is far. What will you need to happen before you go to school? I don't know.

I guess I'm just kind of, I don't know. Just go. Go, do it, Amy. I'm scared. She'll appreciate it later. Yeah, 25 years from now. She will love it. This is for her future.

She'll be doing her YouTube show and holograms with holograms and it'd be awesome. Yeah. Okay. I guarantee you she will act like she does not know. That'd be hilarious if she's like, I don't know who you are, lady. She runs. Help! Right.

Could you, is it a later class? I don't, I don't remember the time of day, so I'll have to look. I'll have to make sure because obviously. Well, we want to root you on to do it. Okay. I'll give you the day off to go to it. No, we're not going to do that. I mean, we should all go.

No, you should say, you can't give me a day off. That's what you should say. Oh, yeah. Yes, okay. I'm going to play this song. Thank you guys. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie.

They're home there's something good. Janaya and Eliana, they're middle schoolers that live in Ohio and they're walking home from school and they see somebody stealing packages from someone's porch. They take the packages and they're put it under another car. Like stashing it, I guess waiting for someone to pick them up. And so they're like, uh, they're like, uh, This isn't good. They get the packages.

They put them back on the porch and they leave a note for the neighbor that says, hey, somebody try to steal your packages, check your cameras. So the neighbor checked the cameras out. Sure enough. Yeah, somebody was doing that. And she saw the girls on camera and they're like, you know what, I'm going to find out who these girls are. I'm going to find out what school they go to.

And she brought them lunch. She brought them cheeseburgers, fries, shakes, and a backpack full of goodies. And the principal was like, this is really cool because now we can highlight these girls and show them to the whole school and maybe inspire other kids to do nice things. Yeah, maybe show the, criminals. Yeah. I think they took care of that part.

Did they? But this is about the heroes. I said put the criminals on Facebook. Like if you go to a store and you wrote a bad check to them, they put your name back there behind it. Oh, yeah. You do that. For a whole day in that town, if you log on to Facebook, you have to watch that video. They can geo-target that stuff.

True. Like it's like an ad, but it's like 15 seconds. It's a public service. They give you a criminal they're looking for in that geo-targeted area. And when you log on that day once, you have to watch the video. That's good stuff. They can do that, huh? Yeah, but that's not what the story is.

What you're about? I'm going to catch the bad guy. And then reward the good guy. Okay. All right, thank you. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. A win is a win.

A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.

Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of The Girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck.

I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the Girlfriends. Trust me, babe.

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Ago Wadam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.

I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.

It would not be on a calendar of, you know. The cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be... Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It's a Bobby Bones show interview.

In case you didn't know. His name is Riley Green. He's got a brand new album out today. We'll talk about that. But let's do some number ones. Riley Green, there was this girl. There was this girl. Riley Green, half of me with Thomas Red.

Half of me you want to cold bed. And from 2019, here's Riley Green, and I wish Grandpa's never died. I wish honky talks didn't have no closing time. I wish Grandpa's never died. New album, new tour, loves turkey and duck hunting. Here he is, Riley Green. On the Bobby Bone Show now. Riley, Green.

Hey, Riley, what's up, buddy? What's going on, man? Y'all been all right? Yeah, we're doing good. Let's talk about your music for a second before we talk about your life. This song, because I'd heard different around here before, and it did not have Luke Combs on it. Am I crazy? No, you're exactly right.

It was on my debut album, it came out in 2019. I thought I'd heard the song without Luke Combs. But now it's killing it, and it's a top 20 song right now. And so you made the decision to put it out again. Was it only going to do it again if Luke came on, or were you going to put it out anyway? I think we were going to make it a single regardless, but it just really lined up well with being on tour of Luke. It was kind of a shot in the dark. I just shot on the text.

man, you got any interest to being part of this song. And do you send this song in like a clip or a file or do you send a link to a stream? Like, how do real artists do that? I'm sure real artists do it like through the proper channels and like management and all that. I just texted him the song and he was familiar with the song and he was like, yeah, man, sounds great. That's awesome. A new album, Ain't My Last Rodeo. It is out now and the title track is inspired by your grandpa.

So we've heard about your grandpa before. How did he inspire this song and the, I mean, it's the tour name as well. well. McGuette Buford passed away in 2010, and he spent a lot of time in the hospital, kind of was in rough shape for a long time, and amongst that, you know, going to visit him, he was, he said that. He said, this ain't my last rodeo. He said that to me to kind of, I guess, put my mind at ease about losing somebody I was

really close with, and it stayed with me for, you know, I guess 13 years it took me to write that song. I just, I thought that was a really positive message and, you know, a tough time. And I think it's something that I think people who's been through. that with a loved one, whoever it is can kind of relate to. On the Bobby Bones show now. Riley Green. His new album, Ain't My Last Rodeo.

It is out now. Hey, let me ask a question, non-album-related. Your high school just dedicated their gym to you? You're not even dead. Wow. You know, I always thought you had to be dead to get something dedicated to you. I'm in the same boat. I didn't really spend that much time in class while I was there.

It was crazy to think that I could get anything dedicated to me. So is it like the Riley Green court, Riley Green build? Like what are they actually? I think it's just a court. Maybe, yeah, just a portion of the court, I think. A portion? It's getting smaller and smaller. The three-point lines dedicated to you or what?

The bleachers. Is your name written on the court anywhere? Yeah, it's my little logo and Riley Green on there. It's pretty cool. We had to go see it the other day and they did a little dedication. You didn't even have to pay for it? You can't go to jail now. Like, you have so much pressure on you that you did not.

Well, not in that one city. I mean, I'm sure I can, that sounds like a challenge. See what he can do wrong and still keep the court named after him. Dude, that's really cool. That is really cool. So congratulations on that. And then what about, because I'm just looking at, is this your thing to get things named after you? Because I did see also Jacksonville State where you played quarterback.

Did they name something after you too? Yeah, there's a rally green sports performance center at Jackson State. That's the whole building. Did you donate a bunch of money? We did a benefit concert there, and we did a charity, celebrity, softball game and benefit the university in St. Jude. So we've, I've done some stuff down there. You know, that area is where I really cut my teeth playing shows for a long time. And I owe a lot to that, you know, how I grew up there and what success I have now. So I try to give back in

small ways. But I think the name in a building was probably more than I was expected for here. I'm super jealous. I need something named after me. This inspires me to get something named after me. I don't even care what it is. I got you. I've got a gym in my barn. Bobby Bones Memorial Gym. I'm not dead. You can't call a Memorial Jim. I'm not dead. Okay, look, everybody listening now.

Riley Green's got a new album called A My Last Rodeo, The Tour, going to be awesome. A My Last Rodeo 2024 tour. And Tracy Lawrence is going out with you. That's awesome. How crazy is that, man? That's like the coolest thing.

It's like one of my, your musical heroes is going to go out with you on the road. Yeah, I mean, I really can't even believe it. It's like he's a legend. I mean, all these hit songs, time marches on, paying me at Birmingham, find out who your friends are, and he's going to go out and play shows of me every night for a few months. That's crazy. Well, Riley, congratulations on the record, and everybody go to Riley's website,

Rileygreenmusic.com, and he's doing shows all the way February of next year, all the way to June, tons of shows up there on his big tour, headlining. Riley, thank you for the time, buddy. Congratulations, and we'll see you soon. I appreciate y'all, man. All right, see you, buddy. The memorial court, and if I die today, because he said that. Well, but then you'll have it named after you, so. That's true, though. Yeah, it's a good point.

It's fine. All right. Let's do it. Write your answer down. I'll play the opening guitar part to a famous song. You just named the song. For example, you know that one by that guitar part. What is that? Closing time. Blue Gene Knight. Lunchbox what? Closing time. That's not right. It's the example, so you didn't miss anything. But it's Barefoot Blue Gene Night. You're going to do great to stand. You can do it, buddy. Come on, man.

Okay. confident. Lunchbox. Dust on the bottle. Amy? Dust on the bottle. Eddie? Dust on the bottle.

Amy and lunchbox are up one on Eddie. Eddie, can you see us back there? He asked you any question. Can you see him? I'm not answering that. All right. Here we go. See ya.

Wow. Oh, did you guys just trip on a rock? Lunchbox does not look confident. I don't have a clue. No clue. No clue. one we're done. Give the guy one more. Lunchbox, what do you have? I'm

putting down watermelon crawl. That is incorrect. I'm sorry. Is that close? No. Amy. God bless Texas? No. Okay. Eddie to tie. They tripped on a rock. Give me beer in my hand. Incorrect. It's drinking my hand. Hey.

He fell in the same rock. My joke. Well, you said like three things. I let you have your time. I know, but then I thought about it. I didn't take your, I let him get a Just talk in. Hey, you slept on that, man. I started to say it.

Oh, boy. Eddie, you're still bag one. Drink in my hand. I'm sorry, buddy. All right, here we go. Number six. Oh, man. Oh, no.

Amy's got it, though. She's confident. Oh, for sure. Yeah, man. And also, I have not, I talked, talked zero. You stole my jokes. I was like 20 seconds, man. Oh.

Well, you say y'all, y'all are talking over the song is what y'all are doing. I'm sorry, sorry. I said one more time for the guy. I'm in for the win. Okay, everybody's good. Lunchbox. Indian outlaw. That's a pothole.

What is the... One more time? You got a lunch? I don't... Got it. All right. Lunchbox. Amy, you got something?

Hold on. I'm waiting for her to write something. Lunchbox? Okay. Eddie was laughing because I guessed this earlier. It is watermelon crawl. That is incorrect. Amy.

Honky tonk association. Incorrect. That's a good guess. Same guitar tone, though, I feel like a little bit. Eddie, if you get this, you tie and you got a sudden death with Amy. Well, the reason I laughed is I thought it was watermelon crawl. You sure it's not watermelon crawl? Oh, that's your answer?

Yeah. No, it's pickup man. Joe Diffy. Oh, that's right. Oh, no. Oh, David. Hey, you guys, respect your leader. Your winner, Amy.

There's she. You guys back there are having a pothold and rock fight, and Amy runs away with it. She were pulled tortoise and the hair on you guys. You did. You guys are all chilling, having fun. Amy just clopping forward. Go to stay focused.

Nice. Well, yes. I take a joke again. My bad, my bad, my bad. All right, thank you guys for hanging out with us. Can I publicly ask you a personal question? Sure. We were talking on the show last week about Apple and now you have all those, the email address, the text number,

and now you have somebody else that you can put as your contact or if you can't log in, then it goes to them. And if they check it off, then they let you in. Yeah. Cool. But I was talking about emergency contacts in general. Now that you're no longer married, who is your emergency contact like straight up? Yeah. I don't have one specifically.

It's still been right now. What if she was in an emergency and he didn't, he was like, I don't want to help her. And my sister. But she lives so far away. Yeah, she's not. He's at least in close proximity to me. I mean, we live like a mile apart. So it's helpful if I were to need something.

However, I just, if he were. If you died, would he get everything? No, my kids do. Yeah. But then that means he has to give them. Have I updated that? Ooh, you got to check on that. Exactly.

But I think that he will be fine with me having him as my emergency contact. until he maybe gets in another relationship, then I'll probably need to change it. Because I feel like he's going to get in one... Why don't you use my wife or me? Yeah. Why do you have to go... Yeah, when I'm filling it out, I don't know.

It's just easier. I have his number memorized. I've got his email memorized. You don't have to put down name, number. Hold on for one more day. Do you have to call all your doctors to change that? Like, every single one? I don't know.

I guess I would just probably update it as circumstances arise. Yes. Okay. Yeah. It's on a base. of whatever you're updating specifically. Exactly. Because you go in there like, oh, how you know.

He probably ignores the call. I got divorced. Oh. Emerge? That's an emerge? Well, I wonder if I'm his. I don't know. You don't know?

Amy, you get this. Amy, I'm sorry. You got to let go. You got to change you. You can't wait until he gets in a relationship. You got to do it today. Yeah, do it today. All right, we're going to move on, though.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. Anybody participating in Sober October? Me? No. I'm doing sober. Sober every day. Sober at 43 years. I've never heard of sober October.

It does rhyme. I like it. Yeah, I do too. And I know that we're pretty much halfway through the month. Kind of rhymes. It doesn't matter. You can hop in on sober October now. What about half sober? Half October.

Oh, start now? No, just be half sober for the rest of the half of the month. So people are already reporting the benefits that they're seeing. They've got healthier skin. They're sleeping better. They're just not as cranky. I mean, the fact that I wish I drank because it seems fun. But the fact that I have never drank, like that's got to,

to do physically be good, not good for me, but not as bad as what you, like, what you guys have done to your bodies, right? Yeah, what are you saying? We don't look good? No, I'm just saying, you two go hard and the fact that I haven't, that that's good for me, right? You would think, but. No, I do. I think, like, long term wise, yeah.

But he works too much. That's true. But that's bad for his body. But imagine my drink, too. Oof, yeah. But I also don't go on the sun that often. So that's probably why we look the same, because you work too much. Hold on.

Excuse me? Oh. We're like twins. man. Wait, what? All three of us. Oh, crap. Okay. Yeah, the number one thing for people really is their skin, and it's like just totally different. Because alcohol is a diuretic, and it makes your skin really dry, and then you have all these other issues. So if you want your skin to glow, it's over October. I'm very fortunate that I have A plus skin.

What does that mean? That's really good. No blemishes. I don't have to wash my face. Nothing. I mean, I don't have to wash my face either. It's so crazy to me that most guys don't wash their face, and they don't have many. I put water on it. If I wear makeup, I have to take it off, but I don't like have a night of skincare routine. I don't do anything. That's wild.

Yeah. Okay, I have solo hobbies that are going to boost your well-being. Like, does anybody like to do things by themselves? Everything. Golf. Oh, that didn't make the list. I mean, I like hanging on my wife, too, but if it's not her, I don't want to do anything with anybody. And then sometimes I just don't want to do anything with anybody.

PlayStation. Playing Madden. Nope. Okay. Okay. Cooking. No. Walking, hiking.

Volunteering with animals. Okay. This one stood out to me because I met a guy the other day. day that this is like what he, not like that. Amy met a dude. No, I was walking my dog at the trail and I'm pretty sure he was 65 years old.

That's how a lot of movies start. That's called Sugar Daddy movie. He asked if he could pet my dog and I said, yeah and he said, he's like, oh, I just, he goes, I spend much of my time volunteering at the shelters just like reading to dogs and cuddling with them and I was like, God, that's such a good thing to go do. Hey, that guy ain't doing crap. He's trying to cuddle with her.

Okay. Who even says that? I spend all my hell alone cuddling with dogs. And reading to them. Yeah, he's trying to get cuddling with you. He's trying to cuddle in. Yeah. He's doing.

It works. And that's something you can go that I think would be good for your brain. Like being around animals, giving back, doing something. This is a good solo hobby as all. Okay. And the final two are knitting and journaling, which knitting I kind of want to try out. I'll pass. All right.

Go ahead. Reese Witherspoon was recently. talking about how she feels it's important that parents really let their kids fail in order to grow. She says if you don't, you rob them of the discomfort of the experience and that opportunity. Yeah, to just stretch and become who they are meant to be. I agree. You only grow through something being uncomfortable, physical, mental, emotional. Growth only happens when it's uncomfortable.

Even if you grow three inches in a summer and you're a kid, that hurts. Any growth only happens through having to work and push through adversity. Yeah, Reese was talking about how when she was in fifth grade, she was suspended for being disruptive in class. But she was able to learn her lesson because her parents let her sit in her punishment and she felt uncomfortable. So therefore she went from it. And I feel like as a parent, sometimes we want to swoop in and just make it better or not have to deal with it. Right. It doesn't think it's a fine line.

It's a fine line. I just liked it. She had this whole thing about it and I just thought it was really good. Good advice. There you go. Thank you, Amy. I'm Amy. That's my pile.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good. news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. A pair of puppies were abandoned at a Michigan animal shelter after being tossed over a fence. That sucks. This is a good story because that's what the segment's all about.

Because if I just told that story and just left, that'd be terrible. On September 26th, the video captured individuals in a truck pulling into the Jackson County Animal Shelters parking lot. One passenger got out and threw the puppies over the fence and drove off. And so that's awful. but if they didn't throw them over the fence maybe they wouldn't, I don't know, I'm trying to find like the spot here at least they drove them over to the animal shelter.

But when the shelter discovered the puppies, they had not had food. Obviously, they weren't taking care of them. They were emaciated and they gave them a one. They have a scale, like how it was a one out of nine. Wow. So the shelter director says, look, if you're not going to drop them off in the right way,

don't drop them off because you almost kill them doing it. And so they got online. They said, hey, these puppies, are struggling. People hopped in and donated to help get them right. The puppies are on their way to being rehabilitated. Two of them have already been adopted. They haven't, they're not gone yet

because they've got to get all the way to nine before they're adopted, and so they're going to go and hopefully be happy dogs. But if it wasn't for the shelter and people stepping up in this Michigan town, you can't throw a dog over it. Like, who can, who has the, who can do that? That sucks. Just set the dog by the door. Yeah. Just lay the dog by the door. It might run off.

Okay, so bring cardboard, a cardboard box. Leave them in the box. There's just things you can do. Golly, thankfully these dogs are okay. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win.

I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, the Clifford Show.
