This is an I-Heart podcast.
Guaranteed Human.
Readers, Katie's finalists, publicists.
We have an incredible new episode this week for you guys.
We have our girl Hillary Duff in here,
and we can't wait for you to hear this episode.
They put on Lizzie McGuire 2 a.m. Video on Demand.
This guy's...
2 a.m.
Lizzie McGuire.
And I'm like...
Wild. A wild batch you were with.
It was like a first closet moment from me where I was like...
You're like, I don't feel like she's hot, like the rest of that.
No, no, no. I was like, she's beautiful.
But I'm appreciating her.
different way than these boys are. I'm not like,
but listen to Los Coltristas on the Iheart
Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast.
On the Ceno Show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw,
unfiltered conversations about recovery, resilience, and redemption.
On a recent episode, I sit down with actor, cultural icon,
Danny Trail to talk about addiction, transformation, and the power of second chances.
The entire season two is now available to bench,
featuring powerful conversations with the guests like Tiffany Addish,
Johnny Knoxville, and more.
I'm an alcoholic.
And without this group, I'm going to die.
Listen to Cino's show on the IHare Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick & Poll show are geniuses.
We can explain how AI works, data centers, but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand.
Better version of Play Stupid Games Win Stupid Prizes.
Yes.
Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time.
I actually, I thought it was.
I got that wrong.
But hey, no one's perfect.
We're pretty close, though.
Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Come on, Bobby.
Hey, what's up?
Hope you guys had a good weekend.
Morning studio.
Morning.
All right, get your pins out, because this gets to no question.
It's got to be instant.
Write your answer down.
You have five seconds to drop your pen.
Okay.
Just because I need the first thing that comes to your mind when I say this.
And I did this as an experiment to myself.
and I don't love my answer, but it's the first thing.
Ready, everybody.
Ready.
What's the first pop culture event or moment that comes to mind to go?
What?
The first pop culture event or moment of all time that comes to mind.
Three?
Oh, boy.
Two.
One.
Pins down.
Even if you don't have it fully, I just need to have it.
Okay.
I can tell you mine.
Mine was, I don't know why, but when that question was posed, I was like Kanye Taylor Swift.
Okay.
At the VMAs.
That's not bad.
where Taylor's winning the award
and Kanye's like, no, no, no,
Beyonce, deserve this award.
Then I started spiraling in lots of directions.
But that to me was the very first thing
that came to my mind. Don't know why. Video Music Awards
way back in the day. Amy.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
That's all I got written on.
In your mind, what were you going with that?
Probably because I just saw something on Instagram
and then I pictured them.
Specifically, there was some concert.
I think she was overseas and he side-stayed.
and he's jamming out and she changed the lyrics to say something about the chiefs or him or something.
And she ran off stage and hugged him.
Okay.
Eddie, all time.
It's not good, but I wrote down Janet Jackson's nipple.
That's a big one, though.
That's good.
I mean, I don't know why, but that's the first thing that happened.
JT. like pulling whatever.
That's a good one, though.
Changed live broadcasting as we know it.
Everything had to be delayed and SEC.
Oh, that's what did that?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, big time.
It changed everything.
delays had to go on studios all over the world.
Wow.
And they plan that?
Yeah.
Okay.
Lunchbox.
Brittany Spears and the umbrella.
The umbrella.
She's standing on top of the car.
Oh, when her head was shaved.
Head shaved.
I mean, it was like, that's when I realized, I was like, uh-oh.
Something's wrong with Brittany.
Yeah.
That was wild.
What's the second one that comes to mind?
Okay, mine just kind of mind.
Marilyn Monroe over the air.
I don't know why they came up, but you know she's over the vent and that blows her dress up.
but she holds it down.
You remember that?
The picture you've seen?
Yeah, the video.
I've seen the video.
But also, I wasn't there for Taylor and Kanye.
It's a movie.
It is?
Yeah, it's like from a movie.
Like, I think of that as a pop culture moment.
Secondly, pop right popped in my head.
Okay.
I just pictured J-Lo's green dress.
Good.
And she's with Diddy and Diddy's bad.
Yeah, lunchbox.
OJ Simpson trial.
Trial?
Or Bronco?
Trial came to mine first?
Yeah, trial.
I mean, because I remember middle school, that was all the talk.
Man, it was all the, every day we talk about it.
Eddie?
Yeah, Tom Cruise, jumping on a chair?
Couch, Oprah.
That's kind of in my head for some reason.
Fun game, fun game.
Morgan, very first pop culture moment that comes to mind, all time.
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake can all denim.
Oh, yeah, the picture.
On the red carpet.
Yeah, that's good.
And then, or Shania Twain and her leopard outfit, those two.
All right, good job, everybody.
Yeah, that's weird.
Just wanted to see where heads were.
That whole riding it down changes the game.
Yeah, because you have to commit to it.
Yeah.
Even to write something so I can look at it and go,
oh, you just wanted to change your mind and talk about this.
What's the Maryland Monroe movie?
Some things are brighter.
Maybe asphalt jungle or something like, I don't know.
I've seen it.
I just mentioned Mel Gibson getting pulled over saying bad things.
Amy's like, I can't stop them.
All I can do is picture moments.
Amy, turn it off.
Turn it off.
She yelled to this.
Turn it off.
Okay, glad you guys are here.
All right, let's open up the mail bag.
You send an email and we read it on the air.
It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag.
Hello, Bobby Bones.
Over the weekend, my wife hit me with a great idea.
she thinks I should have her name tattooed somewhere on my body.
Then she got a little put off when I hesitated.
First off, I never said no.
I just said I'd think about it.
She's my wife.
I love her.
But even though I have a few tattoos already,
I feel like it could be bad luck getting her name tattooed on me forever.
Then if we get divorced,
I'd have to have it covered up removed.
She sees my hesitation as me thinking we are not destined to be together forever.
Is there any benefit to doing this?
Is there any compromise?
Signed.
The hesitant husband.
Yeah, bro, first of all, don't ever talk about it if we get divorced.
Yeah, there's never a should be that.
Yeah, no, no.
That's the thing I've ever heard.
You may think that in your head, but you don't say that out loud.
But also, if you're not thinking it, if he had no tattoos, I could easily sit here and go,
you don't want a tattoo.
You're scared of tattoos.
You don't like tattoos.
Done.
If he has a bunch, I would say if he has over four, that's kind of the line of,
you got a lot.
Get another.
So if she, yeah.
And if you're thinking of getting another,
you really can't get another one then if you say no to this.
Yeah.
I mean, you can, but she's going to be irritated.
Yeah, when he comes home with a little like lion on his arm.
When he's getting a liberty bell on your nipple, I'm telling you,
she's going to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
So you got two choices.
Get it.
And you can get it covered up if something happens like you say.
Or don't, but you can't get another tattoo.
Don't you have your wife's just initial for something?
initial.
Yeah, she drew.
That's what the C that she wrote.
She has a B for you and you have a C.
Like maybe he could compromise and just do the first letter of her name.
And that way, if he wants to add to it, if they get divorced, he can turn it into like, you know.
Yeah, think of other things.
You have a list of words to start with that letter just in case.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is what I would say, like my real life advice is if you have a bunch of tattoos, just get it.
Like your C could stand for calendar.
Good point.
You know you love the calendar.
Or Cali.
I'm saying if you were to get you're seeing.
I'm not.
I'll never change it.
Yeah.
Okay, bro, get the tattoo.
However, if you don't want to get the tattoo, you can't get another tattoo.
This is just the dynamic in the relationship.
I'm not even saying what she's proposing is healthy.
And if she's going to hold it against you, I'm not saying that's healthy, but I'm saying
that is the situation at hand.
She's not going to let it go.
Yes, and she's being unhealthy, just join her.
I agree.
I agree.
Get it on your forehead.
Really show her what's up.
She'll dread she ever.
I'll regret that.
All right.
Thank you.
Close up the mail.
We got your email and we read it on your air.
Now it's about to close Bobby's mail back.
Yeah.
Lunchbox is walking this morning going to ching,
to ching, ching, to ching.
And he said he's brought us some audio of our to ching,
to ching, to ching.
I don't bring up the palette.
That's something we don't talk about on the show.
Lunchbox freaked out.
There's an ugly day in the history of the show.
It was bad.
But we all invested money into what is called like a return palette.
We didn't know what was in it,
but it's all Amazon returns.
and then we opened it here on the show.
We're trying to sell it back individually.
It became such an issue.
Somebody on the show freaked out and left and said a bunch of bad words.
No bad words.
Someone on the show.
You did.
You were on the F word in there.
Yeah.
We have audio of it.
I mean, somebody was.
Everybody was.
You don't remember that?
You blacked out.
But we don't bring it up.
He's bringing it up.
What do you have?
I got a documentary, man.
What it's like being a salesman of returns.
And when you go meet people, all that.
So, yeah, hit it, Ray.
Something to make another palace sale.
just waiting, waiting for a customer.
Let me tell you, the thrill of this is you don't know if you're about to get robbed.
You don't know about if you're about to show up.
It's just like a guessing game.
So let's cross our fingers.
This person shows up and buys that pallet on it.
Part of business, you've got to be patient, man.
Got to be patient.
I'm waiting 22 minutes, 22 minutes.
But all for the money.
You know what I mean?
You got to grind to make that money.
What were you selling?
Selling boat cover.
Okay.
And?
It was listed for six.
A guy hit me, he said, would you take 50?
Yeah.
I said, let me talk to the banker.
Deal!
And then I never heard him.
Oh, yeah, and then, no, here it is.
Oh, he did show up.
No.
Oh, he didn't show up.
What?
I stood up, dude.
First time, I stood out there for 39 minutes.
Yeah, time to make a little documentary.
You waited for 30 minutes?
39.
Why don't you stay for the 40?
Because then I was just like he ain't coming.
Oh.
39 minutes.
That's terrible, man.
Time is money, and he was only going to get 50, but divided by all of us is like nothing.
Yeah.
Sorry about that, man.
Yeah.
Oh, dude, it hurt.
Like, I was like this.
Did you message him?
Messaged him like 12 times.
He ever returned your message?
Not after the, like he said, we set the meeting time for 5.30 p.m.
And I was like, all right, I'm headed there.
Like, see you then.
Nothing.
I was like, all right, I'm out front.
12 minutes there.
I was like, hey, man, you're still coming?
And then like.
Was you reading him?
I don't know, man.
It's on, what's it called?
On Craigslist.
So you're just sending them an email
because we had been going back and forth.
They never responded.
Never responded.
And then one car pulled up and I walk up to the window.
Oh, no.
He's like, are you Erica?
He's Uber driver.
Someone across street came out on the Uber.
He asked you of you.
You're like, do I look like an Erica?
Yeah.
Want to buy a boat cover?
I said, let's be go.
I do have a boat cover over here, man.
So.
Back at it.
Let us know when we make that money.
We're not bringing it up.
You got to bring it to you.
But yeah, guys, this is devastating.
I was sitting there and just going, man, this sucks.
This is what it feels like to get stood up on a date.
You never had that happen in real life?
Of course not.
Not a guy like that.
It's time for the good news.
Five-year-old Jordan was born without a left hand, so he just had nothing.
You know what I mean?
Like, what am I going to do?
But they said, ah, time to get this guy fitted for a bionic arm.
And he became the youngest person to get a bionic arm.
And it looks like Iron Man.
he went to Manhattan, got the arm,
and he was so excited, he held a taxi with it.
A lot of things from this story, one, the great part about it is
this kid was born with that hand, probably felt different,
didn't like that.
Now he has something super cool, makes him feel like he can be part of the group,
special in a good way.
But just how lunchbox set that story up,
Amy and I looked at each other, like,
this kid was born, he probably had nothing on his arm.
And he was like, what am I going to do?
So I smoked cigarette and held a taxi.
What?
By me, he didn't have a hand, so Jordan was like, man, now I got a hero arm and he feels pretty cool.
Looks like Iron Man.
Yeah, I like the story.
We like the story.
She's out of the gate a little.
Yeah, the setup kind of made us laugh a little.
Yeah, thank you.
I just pictured like a talking baby.
It's like, really.
Can you believe this, dude?
I'm missing a hand.
All right, thank you.
That is what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.

Readers, Katie's finalists, publicists. We have an incredible new episode this week for you guys.
have our girl Hillary Duff in here, and we can't wait for you to hear this episode.
They put on Lizzie McGuire at 2 a.m. Video on Demand. This guy's booboo-a-m.
2 a whatever time it is. Lizzie McGuire. And I'm like, a wild bat you were with.
It was like a first like closet moment from me where I was like, I don't feel like she's hot,
like the rest of that. No, no, no. I was like, she's beautiful.
But I'm appreciating her in a different way than these boys are. I'm not like,
but listen to Los Coleristas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast.
I'm Iris Palmer and my new podcast is called Against All Od,
and that's exactly what the show is about, doing whatever it takes to be thoughts.
Get ready to hear from some of your favorite entrepreneurs and entertainers
as they share stories about defying expectations,
overcoming barriers, and breaking generational patterns.
I'm talking to people like award-winning actress, producer, and director, Eva Langoria.
I think I had like $200 in my savings account,
and my mom goes, what are you going to do?
And I was like, I'll figure it out.
We got a one-bedroom apartment for like $400 a month and we all could not afford.
Like, I was like, how am I going to make $100 a month?
I'm opening up like I've never before.
For those of you who think you know me from what you've seen on social media,
get ready to see a whole new side of me.
Listen to Against All Odds with Iris Palmer as part of the MyCultura podcast network,
available on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.
These are phrases that can or will save relationships.
Amy brought this.
I think it's a very valuable segment because I don't think about stuff like this.
Of course not.
So these are things we should say more.
Yeah, well, they're good to keep in your back pocket if the time comes for you to use them.
It's just ways to communicate with your partner that's going to be more effective than maybe what you typically say, which is like, ugh, or really?
Or calm down.
So you're saying I don't have to mean it, but it's in case of emergency break glass.
I think that you'll mean these things because it's like that's your partner.
You care about this person.
but this is just a better way to communicate.
All right.
Give me number one.
All right.
If it bothers you, it matters to me.
So like something you may not understand.
Like, hey, I don't get this, but if it's bothering you, it matters to me, so I'm going to listen.
We were in therapy last week and we were talking about something and I did not understand her frustration.
But what I told our therapist, I said, hey, I understand that I do not understand and will not understand.
But I do also understand I need her to be happy.
And so I understand I don't get it, but I want to help.
So now a simple way to say that is.
I like my way.
It took a long time.
It looked like it put a lot more work into it.
It matters to me.
And then another one is, so I was thinking about what happened earlier and I want to apologize.
That's a tough one.
Go back later?
That's a hard one.
That is hard.
I was thinking about what I.
Usually I just hit him with a, I'm sorry.
Oh, you do that?
You know what I mean?
Like immediately.
Mostly, I guess if it's for me, I go, let's just move on and we've learned something from this.
That does not work.
No way.
Well, speaking of, the next one would be...
I just dodged the sorry thing.
And sometimes she'll say, you never apologize for things.
Right.
So now I find really small things.
I'm like, I'm so sorry.
But why...
It makes it don't want to punch me in the face.
So like if you misplaced the toilet paper, I'm so sorry.
I would like you to know, I'm deeply apologetic.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, man.
I know, yeah.
That's not good.
She wants to punch me in the face.
I apologize in different ways than just with my words.
I do with my actions a lot of ways.
Okay.
Here's one that you definitely need.
Thank you for having patience with me.
I'm still learning this stuff.
That is perfect for you.
Patience with me is okay.
I'm still learning that stuff.
That makes you feel stupid.
Like a child.
But you are still learning.
No, we're not.
We all are, I guess.
We all.
Everybody is.
So then why do we have to say it?
We're all equal.
Oh, you got them.
Is this what it's like with you?
Yeah.
But I show it in my actions.
Okay.
Another one.
I wanted to check in and see how you're feeling about all of this.
I can do that one.
No problem.
What if she comes to you and said, I want to check in and see how you're feeling about all this?
I don't like it.
That's like, hey, do you want to talk?
Or we need to talk.
I don't like that.
Mostly, I just like control.
But I don't get it as much.
It's weird when you're in a relationship.
You don't get it as much as when you're by yourself.
Isn't that crazy?
It's wild.
Yeah, go ahead.
What about this one?
So I don't want to assume.
So I thought I'd ask.
Yeah, I can do that one.
That's no problem.
I'm not having to apologize, so I'm good.
That's proactive.
Right, but a lot of times we think we're mind readers and we try to assume something and
that we build some story in her head and we think it's one way and we don't just stop and ask.
I think for me, I just assume that she reads my mind more than I can read her mind.
I can't read anybody's mind.
I can just look at past data and make an assumption based off of that more than like,
I bet they're thinking this or like a pattern, but I expect her unfairly to read my mind 95% of the time.
How did you not know I was going to do that?
She's like, well, because you've never been to the batting cage at 2 p.m. on a Thursday.
I don't know where you were.
And I'm like, that's a good point.
Dang.
Yeah, what else?
It's okay to mess up.
Nobody is perfect.
I still love you even when you're upset.
Oh, I would get stabbed for saying that.
You would?
Look at that all together.
Say that again.
It's okay to mess up.
I'm talking about me or her.
You're saying this to her.
She doesn't mess up relationship-wise.
Ever?
Maybe I don't catch it.
I'm the stumped growth one.
The next line is nobody is perfect.
But I would never.
It feels like I'm talking down to her.
Totally.
I think if somebody told you that, you would feel like.
Okay.
I don't know that that one's my first.
What's the third? What's the last part of that, though?
I still love you even when you're upset. That's probably a separate one.
I could do that one by itself.
Okay.
Like if she's mad at me or something?
Yeah.
I still love you even though you're upset.
Oh, she'd kill her.
Yeah.
To my tone wouldn't be good with that one.
I don't know that those two are my favorite, but yeah.
Go ahead.
That's all.
The final one, which I don't know how I feel of at this one, but okay, neither way is better or worse.
We just do it differently.
Oh, I say that all the time.
Yeah, I get that.
My favorite.
That's your favorite.
That's my favorite.
I mean, absolutely my favorite.
recognizes that yes, we're totally different.
My way, but then I think that can also be used as a crutch.
Yeah, for sure.
We just do it different.
Right.
And that's probably it's not intended to be used like every single time.
No, I use that at most times.
You're wanting to like play video games.
If there's a difference of opinion, we just do it different.
Is that like we agree to disagree?
Because I hate that.
Yeah, kind of.
But sometimes you do.
Like, really?
Sometimes you do.
You do have to do that sometimes.
Like, we're not going to solve this.
So what can we learn from this and how can we move forward?
So this doesn't become an issue again.
That can happen.
Yeah.
That's such a man way to do it, though.
Like, we're always just like, how do we move forward?
Oh, I want to fix everything.
Sure.
And my wife just wants to, like, talk about it more and more and more.
Because if it bothers her, it matters to you, right?
So you won't stop down.
Either way, you're not perfect, and I love you anyway.
There you go.
We're pulling a little slips of paper out of our pocket in the middle of a fight,
reading our phrases.
Oh.
Finally seeing till which one works.
Like, this is, for what I do for parenting,
especially with adopted kids, there's different things you have to navigate.
And I'm sure any parent has to deal with this, but you've got scripts that I've received from therapists.
Like, they're good scripts.
Sort of like this.
Like, you just got them in your back pocket.
But sometimes in the middle of a parenting situation that was, like, really intense.
And I wanted to not mess it up and I needed to do it right.
I would, like, pause.
And I would run to my room.
Shut the door.
I'll be right back.
Put my text message or a computer or email from the therapist.
I'd be like, okay, yeah, ooh, this script.
Okay, this is good for that one.
And I would literally walk back out and then say it verbatim.
It feels like what a phone solicitor does when you're trying to sell you or something.
Like if they say this, go here.
Yes, exactly.
Like if their response is this, then you need to say this back.
And I would always get it messed up.
Amy's kids think that every time she gets upset, she has to poop, though.
That's the weird.
Every time mom gets you, runs in the room.
Here's a voicemail.
Last time I checked, Eddie was supposed to eat 108 shrimp.
And if he didn't do that, then he would have to shave his head.
Last I checked, he has not eaten a hundred and eight shrimp.
So I think he needs to shave his head.
He started to want to change the rules, which is kind of a quitter thing to do.
Because I don't want to shave my head.
It's what he does.
But you said regardless, I don't want to spend an hour on this, but where are we on this?
Are you not doing it?
And you don't want to just change it a little bit?
We're not modifying the rules.
You're the one that claimed you could eat 108 popcorn shrimp.
Because I just thought about it the other day.
I'm like, I just don't think I can eat 108 popcorn shrimp.
Then that didn't just say that.
But you didn't think that the day I mentioned it said I'd give you $108 if you can do it.
Because I thought they were the little shrimps.
but if popcorn shrimp's all breaded,
dude, I don't know if I can do that.
So are you out?
And I feel like if I say I'm going to do it.
So are you out?
But if you're out, you'll be called a quitter forever and we're going to remember this.
Because we remember everything on this show.
And I still get $108 if I do it?
If you eat all 108 of them.
If I do eat like 90,
where you give me $90 and still shave my head?
No money if you don't eat 108.
Man, why I'm not a quitter.
Are you doing it?
Yes or no.
Let's do it.
Hey, Scuba, so here's what we're going to do.
Let's do it.
He's saying he's doing it again.
Lunchbox says he's going to eat three pounds of food.
We need to set a date for next week where both of these things are going to happen.
Okay.
Nobody can back out.
We got three pounds of food for him to eat.
We do both food challenges in a day.
Same day.
I like the listeners.
I'm starting to get annoyed at it too because both of them are just kind of kicking the can down.
Not me.
I don't kick the can.
You kicked it longer than me.
No, all I've asked is for a date.
Next week, scuba.
All right.
Next week, we'll take care of it.
Boom.
Done.
What's his penalty?
Nothing.
No, it's just let's see if you can eat.
Yeah, it's an experiment.
He said he can eat three pounds of food.
And we were going to see if I weighed the same as I did.
If I ate three pounds, would I weigh three pounds more?
But if I do complete the task, I do get some money.
That's not true.
That is true.
Thank you.
Yeah.
60 bucks is one.
He volunteered for the case study basically.
He volunteered, yeah.
He's, okay.
I'm going to shave my head.
Done.
Done.
Next week we do.
He already has a loser attitude.
You hear him.
I'm going to shave my head.
108 popcorn shrimp.
That's a lot.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
So it's road trip season, and I have a list of things that everyone should have in their car.
For a road trip.
Yeah, for just being prepared for whatever might happen.
And I'm going to go through the list.
I'm going to have none of this.
Because if it's food, I eat it immediately.
Sure.
If it's bandages, I never get them or we'll put them in the car.
Go ahead.
Food and water on there, but I'm with you, but you could maybe put it in the back.
But I'm going to know what's in there.
So then I'm going to, next time I'm pull over, I'm going to have that bar.
And that water, if you leave it,
the car gets hot and it gets chem.
You can't leave water in the car.
Yeah, duh.
Go ahead.
What else?
A jumper cables.
Got them.
I don't know if I do or not.
You should check.
No idea.
A spare tire and a jack.
I don't have one of my car.
You have that.
I don't.
My car does not keep a spare tire in it.
I learned the hard way.
I believe that.
Yeah.
I got a flat and I was like, well, let me change a tire.
It's the one thing I can do, manly.
You have AAA?
Yeah, I've got whatever car dealers.
Okay, you're good.
Yeah.
Okay, tire pressure gauge.
That took like three hours for them to get out there.
Really?
Elka's far out.
No, I was right next to the dealership, basically.
Go ahead.
This is going to help some people out.
Warm blanket.
No, that takes up space.
Basic toolkit.
I get dog hair all over it.
Okay, this is dumb.
No, it's not.
I think it's good to be prepared.
No, sorry, this is smart, but it's dumb to think I'm going to do all this.
Cash.
To just go on a road trip.
Dude, we're going to Tunica.
Why am I getting all this stuff?
Right, and you get the toolkit, and you're like, okay, now what I do?
We're going to the boats.
What I need a toolkit?
Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
Umbrella?
UNA, what's a deal?
First aid.
flares. I hear you. None of that's happening.
What if something goes wrong and you heard this and you
were suddenly prepared?
Then that would still suck, but it sucked a little less.
Finally, duct tape.
That's for the kidnapping? What is that for?
Sounds like where, yeah, before you get rid of the body.
You need to duct tape something on.
It's just a lot of stuff to put in the car. Car's not very big.
I don't have an SUV. My Hyundai's an SUV, but I'm not putting stuff in that.
Sometimes they trade out hundays on me and I'm like, what happened to
the other Hyundai? They're like, we traded it for another one.
My flares were in there.
Eddie was in the trunk. Yeah.
My daughter hit the rear room.
backing out of our garage and the next time I saw her it was duct tape up so I assumed when she went
to her dad's he did that and I was like oh did dad duct tape that for you and she was like no I did it
and I was like look at you like I don't know why that surprised me so much that she went and found
the duct tape and just like put it back together like I was impressed. Isn't she like 16?
Yes but I just thought she's like leave it dangling there but she made it work.
All right. Okay so there's a hack that's going viral about Chipotle because
because people are swearing that the portions are getting smaller and it's annoying.
So what you do is you pull out your phone while they're making whatever your breedo or your bowl.
And the employee thinks you're filming them and then they make it, you know, more rice, more beans, more meat.
I saw and I don't know how true it is a memo that went out within Chappalais saying if somebody pulls out their phone to record because this has become viral, make sure you fill up their bowl even extra.
I mean, this could work for anything.
anywhere you go just pull your phone out act like you're filming
yeah they're like oh i got to change your tire real quick look at this
well from my story the other day like chippole
they're probably dealing with the tortilla
shortages the prices the prices arising here because of the cartel
and that's why you need road fliers it's impacting everybody
so laney wilson's the latest to be invited to be a member of the grandal
opry reba had the honors of doing that super cool
I have some of the biggest names in country music
and they're not in the Grand Ole Opry
like who they are.
This is always a weird list because some people don't want to be in the Opry
because they can't play it enough.
Like George Strait is not
because he can't be back to 12 or 15 times a year
that the Opry requires you to play.
Right. George has been invited but he turned it down
for Bobby's exact reason.
But there's no like we hate the Opry.
Go ahead.
Well Chris Stapleton made his Opry debut in 2013
but he's not a member yet.
I mean I guess you have to play a bunch too
to even be invited.
It's basically like the Illuminati.
You don't know how or when or who.
And they just randomly show up and invite you.
I have not been invited.
I've played it 25 times.
I've not been.
I'm not a member.
I've not been invited.
But sometimes I look over my shoulder like,
is today the day.
I thought Reba was doing it once on stage,
and it turns out that wasn't the case.
To finish out the list,
you got Luke Brian, Tim McGrawl, Faith Hill,
Miranda Lambert, Morgan Wallin and Hank Williams, Jr.
Mostly, it's because they can't,
in their mind fairly live up to the expectation
of performing what used to be 26 times a year back in the day.
Oh, wow.
That was way back in the day.
In like 2000, they changed it to you've got to do like 12
where Carrie is a big operative member,
Carrie Underwood, but she does it smart.
She'll do like two shows a night on a Friday to double shows.
Knock them out.
And get them all out.
Yeah.
So, all right, it's good story.
All right, that's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news.
With producer Eddie.
I'll make something good.
Andrew is from New Mexico, and for a long time, he's had difficulties walking because he's got bad legs.
And his friend was like, man, you should get a bigger dog to help you just walk around.
He said, okay, so he goes to the shelter.
He adopts Peanut.
Peanut's a huge, great day.
He's walking Peanut around, and one day he's in the backyard.
He trips, he falls.
He's like, oh, gosh, what do I do?
What I do?
And Peanut reacts quickly, gets behind Andrew, gets its nose, picks them up because Andrew wasn't breathing.
when he fell back something obstructed his airway he was choking and because the dog got behind him picked him up he started breathing again and he's like dude i just got this dog it was 24 hours he got him from the shelter oh man these stories are great it's like the dog was meant to be there like it had to happen just that way exactly and i'm like i think like my dog would never save me i don't want to ruin the good news i'm just saying like when we read these stories no i know my dog wouldn't either i don't think it was meant to be what no people are like i don't want to rain on it so i love it
I'm not getting into theory of what is my own.
But I love the story.
You don't think that he was supposed to get peanut.
That's a great story.
I love it.
What I would answer with,
think of all the people that that didn't happen to,
that had almost a similar situation.
And it wasn't meant to be that they didn't.
There's just a lot of things that don't happen.
Like they fell and the dog didn't pick them out.
It's just odd.
I know, but do you ever wonder like maybe?
I don't want to do bad news.
This is not.
No, this is tell me something good.
I love the story.
Go ahead.
It's a question.
Do you ever wonder if maybe they had a nudge
a day before whatever something that bad was that happened to like go get a cat or something and
they ignored it.
Well, you ever wonder that we all probably think there are nudges and signals and signs
from every single thing if we ask for them and then look for them?
I know.
No, I'm just saying.
You don't think there are nudges and then we don't even notice them?
Do you don't think that there aren't nudges?
Sometimes there aren't nudges, but we think there are nudges so we do the wrong thing.
And maybe they're, anyway, this is a good story.
Good job, dog.
Life is complicated.
That's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.

I don't feel like she's hot, like the rest of that.
No, no, no.
I was like, she's beautiful.
But I'm appreciating her in a different way than these boys are.
I'm not like, ugh.
