Oh, yeah. Like, I watch Arkansas Keith to go to the mill every day. He didn't like that job. So we're here, we got a job. The morning, the hours suck. But all of our listeners listening now do too. Lester on the podcast, then who needs you?

You get to wake up whenever you want. Morning studio. Morning. All right, we're going to get to know here on Monday. Which of your personality traits are you most proud of? Which of your personality traits are you most proud of? Lunchbox, do you know yours? My awesomeness?

Is that a personality trait? Sure. Can be. I would say that would be more of a confidence. Confidence? If you're going, I'm awesome. That's the best thing about me. That's pretty confident.

So I would say you're confident. Okay, my confidence is my best one because, I mean, I believe I can do anything. I believe I'm better than anybody. That would be going into a bit of arrogance. But yes, I hear you. Yeah, like I'm just confident. I believe in it. And I don't let people bother me.

They can give me their opinions in me. And guess what? Their opinion don't matter. I like it. What personality trait are you most proud of, Eddie? My humor. I like my humor. I think everyone in my family is kind of funny.

Like, my dad's brother was a comedian. Really? Yeah, it just kind of runs in the family that we like to make people laugh. I get joy out of seeing people laugh at what I say. So I like that. Amy? I think that I'll go with, and I've learned this a lot about myself recently, especially being a co-parent.

But my personality can see the bigger picture and try to see where the other person's coming from too. Like I... Like understand. I go there easily where I can... I guess I can kind of be in the gray. Things don't have to be so black and white. You can also understand that maybe you don't understand.

Yes, that's, I think, too. And I, when you... This is just a new part of my life and things that I'm learning about myself. And I even said that to Ben my co-parent the other day where I was just like... I felt like I was really seeing... the bigger picture. And I said, I don't want to have an inflated view of how I'm handling this, but I think that I am because I felt at the time he was being a little black and white. But then I also had compassion for that to some of his, how he grew up in his military background.

And so then I gave space for that. And ultimately, he came around. That to me feels like the words of someone has put a lot of work into themselves. Yes. Yes. And that's why it was even hard for me to admit that to him on the phone. Like I was like, it sounds like I'm thinking highly myself by saying this. but actually I think I'm proud of the patience and the work that I've put into trying to understand. Maybe I'll say that to him that you're proud of yourself. But I mean, still, I think there's. Well, I didn't.

I think I said, I have an inflated view. Major growth. I just wanted him to understand. And mine is not going to make sense to you guys. But if I'm picking what personality trait I'm most proud of now, you all, you guys are going to roll your eyes and be like, let's see. Try us. No, we never, we would never roll out. Your timeliness.

Mom, no. I would say my patience. What? You don't have patience. Hold on. Hold on. Talking about. Hold on.

That's not part of your person. It's gotten. It's gotten. It's gotten. I worked so hard. No, it hasn't. Yes, it has. Yes, it has.

Yes. You just shut up because I'm not going to take any of listen to your mouth. I'm not patient. You're being impatient. I would say that in general, I have a bit of an understanding that because I need, want, desire something to happen now because I feel like I should. It doesn't mean everybody else should have the same feeling I have. I'm still not good and not feeling like it. But I think outwardly.

I've become even a much more patient boss. Much. Hold on. We're not doing what we've most improved. No, no. It's what are you proud of? You're doing whatever you want. You don't get to make the rules.

The question is, what are you most proud of? And my personality I'm most proud of is patience because I've gotten better at it. It's not what I'm the best at. I think that's like tenacity, just showing up. What you're quick-witted? Well, okay. But I'm saying if I was most proud of something, it would just be like, yeah, like, tenat. I don't have a talent.

I'm not very talented. What's tenacity mean? I don't quit. But I would say what I'm most proud of, the patients that I've developed in the past four or five years. As a boss. No, just as a person. It's still not good, but it used to be terrible. I think being married has, like my wife has instilled a lot of PTO.

What's that? Oh, that's just me saying, praise the Lord. Because I think it has since you've gotten married, there's been some healthy changes. Yeah, I don't, I don't just. You showed patients right there and not just jumping down. I've showed like ignorance. I have no idea what that means. Confused.

But mine's, I'm not a patient person. I'm still not a patient person. I'm very impatient. But patience is what I'm most proud of now because I've developed a sense of it that I've never had before. Okay. I would agree with that.

It's your view on your personality, man. So it's, you know, whatever you want. He is more patient. You two guys over in Kid Laney. Whoa, whoa. Hey, be patient, man. When I said mine, I think a lunchbox said, what the? I didn't.

I said, I think it's weird. I got confused. I mean, I got way through your speech. What would you say? say the personality trait you're most proud of yourself. I think it would be empathy, my heart. I have a lot of empathy for people and the situations they've been in. Also just a really big heart.

It also is a weird question to answer because it feels like I'm asking you like what are you most proud of and it feels like you're bright, but I'm begging you to brag. Right, right. So it does feel weird. I don't mind bragging. I'm awesome. I'm smarter than everyone else. Ray. Yeah, a chameleon.

What? You can put me. wherever and I'll always fit in. My humor isn't just like in the studio. Say if I went to a lumber mill, I'd be the funniest dude there. So I'd say, is it humor then? Humor, but also everything. Work ethic, whatever. I know, so everything? You could drop me in any environment.

You could just dominate any environment? I'd fit in immediately. Got it. I like it. You should be a spy, dude. Maybe he is. Oh, my. What if we dropped you in Asia? They'd be like, there's a white guy. I don't think you fit in there. No, he's a comedian, dude. Why does he want to know our government secrets? All right. We're good. Everybody good. What? I don't know. I just, I'm sorry I turned mine into a story. I think I was just talking through like something I've been thinking about recently.

You know what your worst trait is? You think too much and you're dwelling on things that you think we are thinking about. Okay, but I don't know why I just didn't answer it like, oh, I think I've grown in the area of like, you know, have. I have no patience for this. Okay, we're moving on. Exactly. Let's open up the mailbag. You send in email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's mail bag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bone. Lately, my wife and our teenage daughter have been at each other's throats. I've refused to get in the middle on. I've just tried to be supportive both. It seems that being, quote, Switzerland isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Now I'm being resented by both of them because neither of them think I have their backs. How long can I keep the neutral thing up before I become the common enemy here? Signed husband, father trying to keep the peace. I don't have kids, so I'll remove myself from anybody taking my real advice, but I feel like I'd always have to set the president of being on my wife's side just because, but I don't have kids. So, Amy?

Yeah, this is something you and your wife, I think, need to work through. I don't have the full picture, but I would say, y'all need to figure it out and then present a united front to your teenager. The teenager shouldn't feel like she needs you to stick up for her versus mom

or mom to stick up for her versus dad. I don't know, I just feel like that's when it gets really tricky. I also feel like it's general teenagerie that's making them fight. There's not like one issue. So it's just that age and stage. Yeah, somehow you need to be able to step up. If you don't agree with the wife, see, that's where it gets tricky.

Like maybe if you don't agree with her, y'all need to settle it on the side. So that way y'all come up with the United Front. That way you can support your wife in front of your daughter. Because I feel like that is going to be the best. As a co-parent, I'm not even, I'm not married anymore, but we're still parenting the same child. And we disagree about things for sure. but towards the kids, it's still a united front. And we do everything possible to maintain that because that's just going to be best for our family.

And I would assume maybe yours too, but. Eddie? Yeah, Amy's exactly right. You and your wife need to be on the same page. And if you're not on the same page, Amy's right again. Go in a separate room. Make sure you're away from your kids. Talk about it.

Okay, how are we going to present this? What do you think? What is what I think? But if you can't come to the same. You need to. You have to. Whatever it is, even if you're wrong about it, you say, you know what, I'm wrong about it, but if you feel stronger than I do, do it. It's got to.

It's got to because you cannot be on your daughter's side. I'm not demanding that I'm going to be told us right. But if it's like, I'm wrong about it, I'll just act like I'm wrong. I'll just check out. Right. So then you say, all right. Then you're not being supportive. And you have to tell your daughter.

You know what? Listen to your mom. I'm on her side now. Checking out is the lazy way. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I got to get to work. That's like, that's passive.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to be on the same team. I've got to get up early in the morning, so you got to deal with this. No. Peace. Yeah. I agree. Unified front, right?

Has to be. Even if we argue about what I tend to feed the dogs, we go in a room, we go, we feed Stanley away from the dogs? 7.30. And we go back and we're like, 7.30 it is. Yeah. We both agree on that. We both agree.

Good luck with that. I bet that's a very common thing. Yeah. Mom versus teenage girl. And dad being like, I don't know what to do because I don't understand. Or just parents against kids. Oh, well. Yeah.

A whole different war over there. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't matter, you know, daughter, mom. It's like even like me and sometimes my son and I'm like, man, I know what he's saying. I know. I was a dude. I know what he's talking about. Like, I was in high school.

And my wife's like, what are you talking about? Let's talk about it separately. Come up with one thing and then we'll present it. Powerpoint. Yeah. Pretty much. All right. There you go.

Good luck. As you hear, there is no answer that's right. It's just be unified in your answer. That's an answer. Yeah. That's the answer. That's the answer that's right always with the answer. in the fight.

No, no, no, no. It's just the answer is to be unified, even if you're wrong. Yeah, right. But you've got to get there. You don't want to just, you can't fake it the entire time. Although sometimes I just choose the United Front and then I call my friends in a talk trash. Wait, you know. What?

Just kidding. No, you know. All right, close it out. I vent. We got your email and we've got the clothes. Bobby's mail back. Yeah. It's time for the good news.

Oh, it's Bobby. Tell him there's something good. If you're a dog guy, if you're a dog girl, you like this one. So Jason and Julia, I've been together for a while, and Jason was going to propose. And he's like, oh, how do I do I propose? If I do it boring, she's not going to have a good story. You want her to be romantic. And so he also worked at adoption services.

And so there was a dog named Banjo that had been there forever. And so he inscribed, will you marry me on Banjo's collar. Nice. And had Banjo, like, follow him and go up to her. It's like, because it was like a stray bulldog mix. She was like, oh, look at the bulldog. Will you marry me? She did not think it was banjo proposing.

She knew it was Jason. And so it was a success. The couple was overcome a joy, and then they both adopted Banjo. That's cool. Which is pretty cool. That's a great story. That's what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. Today is April 1st. It's April 1st. It's April Fool's Day. We're not doing any jokes on you. We do jokes all the other days of the year. We're on each other, though. We're not doing any jokes on any listeners.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And Rule 2, 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 podcasts. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Vodom. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live,

and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo. 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. 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. Yeah. Listen to Thanks Dad on the Iheart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Guys, in a little bit of trouble, he left his fiance's $2,000 wedding dress on the roof of his car and just drove off. They did not find it. They're offering a $500 reward anyone who finds Is it, are they think someone stole it?

No, well, they think it just felt. How would you know who to get it to? Yeah. Oh, man. And it had to fall off back where you didn't look in the rear view because it falls off on the side, your side you're going to see it. If it goes off the front, you're going to see it. Right.

But how upset would you be? And I'm bringing our Swifty Lauren in here, who is engaged. How upset would you be if your fiancé lost your wedding dress? This close to the wedding, I'd be livid. I would be livid. Because this is a bit of neglect by him for like prioritizing that dress. Yeah, and I just don't like I don't understand how you leave something that big. It's not like it's like a phone or like a cup of coffee.

It's probably in a huge dress bag. Like how do you just not see that and drive off? You don't care about it that much. You don't prioritize it that much. Guys, you set it on top and you open the corner. No, but it's so big. It's not a cup. I know, but the groom doesn't wear the dress.

It's just like a grocery bag. And the whole reason you are where you are is because of that dress. because you wouldn't just go and walk around with that dress. Also. You went to wherever you were going because of that dress. Otherwise, you wouldn't be carrying that dress around. It happens. It's a great point.

No, it doesn't. Yeah, and it's bad news. It's because it didn't happen. He wasn't supposed to see the dress. That's why it did it. Karma. Yeah, maybe that's the bad luck, yeah. Yeah.

So, do you get insurance on a dress? That's not a thing, is it? I don't, no, I don't think so. I don't have insurance. Do you have your dress? I do. And you're getting married when? In May.

Oh, my God. It was new and real. Soon, yeah. Did you do anything crazy, like, put yourself, like, on a crazy diet or take hair growing pills or anything where you're like, I'm going to make sure of my wedding, I'm perfect. Just watching what I eat, but nothing, like, crazy. And you have your, how many bridesmaids do you have? I have 10 bridesmaids.

Oh, my gosh. I know. It's a lot. Yeah. He's like, I got to cut it down to 10. He's like, I got to have 10. Are you going to have all 10 on your side and all 10? Because the bride, when I was one of the 10, there was.

she did it five and five on each side, so we were staggered. Oh, that's a good idea. So I like that idea. We haven't really discussed. You're a cheerleader pyramid with them. Yeah. Four, three, two, one. And they all do the pyramid where they're on their knee.

So that's a lot. I saw a note on my desk and it says Bobby Bones and wife. And it's an invitation from Lauren. I'm assuming to our wedding. I haven't opened mine up either. So did you invite the whole, everybody here? I invited everyone. I wanted to be polite, include everyone.

You don't have to do that. But I wanted to. and I like want everyone to know. I don't feel, I hope no one feels any obligation to go. Like I will not be offended. I won't be upset. I just wanted to extend the invite.

I would love everyone to be there. If you can't come, I'm not going to take it personally. I'm like, okay. Like I totally get it. And, um, wait, do you feel a pressure that we feel a pressure?

No, you should feel like you don't have to invite us. You're still polite if you didn't invite us though. Or, or, I, of course, we would love for everyone to be there.

It's a celebration. And I see you guys almost every day. I would love for everyone to be there. But I'm not going to be upset. Someone can't come. But we're going to cost you money. Is what we're going to start about. We're not eating?

No, no, no, no, no. Oh, man. We already have like a package. So it was like between 150 and like 200 people. And then we had enough open spots. So we got the leftover spots. Yes, because what it is is we just got this invitation and we're supposed to RSVP in the next week. So basically it's saying, hey, we waited until we got RSDPs from enough people saying no.

But that's what is okay. It's fine. It's not like you and Lauren her best friend. But that was the thing. You guys were on a short list. I thought she was using us for clout because she was trying to say, hey, you guys come so I can tell my friends the body bone show will be there. It's definitely not that. I know lunchbox you think everything's about you, but it's not that.

Lauren, let me ask you this, though. Do you want us to give a speech? Are you concerned, Lauren, that like a celebrity like lunchbox is going to be there, maybe take the attention off of you on your wedding day? You know, I haven't thought about that because we all know how lunchbox loves to just. I think he's the center of attention, but, you know, I'm not too concerned about it, to be honest. Yeah. So who can go? Like, did Morgan get a plus one, or is it just Morgan?

Can she bring her? Do you realize? Oh, whoa. That's not a good weekend, man. That is a bad weekend. Yeah, that's what I said. Arkansas or something? No, ACM awards.

I'm part of the broadcast. Oh, we're all nominated for an award. Oh, no, we're all going to be there. Oh, man. We're all going to be there. Morgan, you got a kiss in your wedding. Because it's not true because it's in Dallas. I don't know that we're all going to be.

I'm supposed to be part of the show. We've gone to Vegas to accept to ACM. We haven't won the award. Being nominated, you don't just go. We haven't won the award. And you're acting like we already won. No, I'm not. If we don't win, Amy just jinxed it. You guys, you just heard, it's like when Eddie texted me a two minutes

left in the game, good win, and then we lose. Not true. It's not on me. Amy just did that to us. I didn't. I didn't say you're going to win. React. React, Ray. I'm just glad I wasn't the one that jinxed. Wow. The jinxes are. Wow. Amy, you can't say that either.

Okay, I honestly am starting to feel like, wow. Lately, it doesn't appear as though I can do much right. Exactly. Get back in your medicine. Okay, look. Good gosh. Lauren. Okay.

I will not be in town. I'm very sorry. That's fine, yeah. I'm a part of the show, so I wish I could. We'll be here because apparently we're losing. No, it's not that you don't go to Dallas if you don't win the award. You don't even go if you do win sometimes. Hey, but Bobby, you still get a gift, right?

I know. I'll get her a gift. That's good. You don't even have to do that, honestly. All right. I'm done. Are you registered anywhere, Lauren? Yeah, yeah, that's a birthday and everything.

Everything's up there. But yeah. Hey, Scooba, when will we know that we didn't win? Usually, it's usually right now, but it's usually mid-April, I believe we find out. Okay. Well, I, regardless, even once we lose, I will be in Texas. I'm very sorry. No, I totally understand.

No, I get it. And then who can go? Anybody want to commit now? I can. I mean, I'll be in. San Francisco, I apologize. I'll be there. But thank you for the invite. This is an official RCP. Ray, did you get invited?

If it's midweek, I can't go a weekend. It's not midweek. It's a Saturday. I can probably go. You can probably go. You're not even committing? I just don't know. My wife has her calendar. Got it, got it, got it. Got it, got it. You guys? Yeah, I got to check with the wife. I don't know. Do you want to go? Yeah. I would love to go.

Is it a plus one for them? Yeah, yeah. But now that Bobby's out, I can bring two of my kids. I just one person to be out. There's no kids. No kids. No kids. Is it? Open bar? Open bar,

12 piece, live band. Oh, she's fine. Yeah, yeah. Let's go. Oh, man, she's got some expensive stuff on this registry. Oh, you want it? Yeah, she wants a

Dyson, cool, purifying fan. Yeah, but that's probably like the most expensive thing. That is probably the most expensive thing. You probably click so you could like rub it at rub it in her face. I literally clicked on the thing. Do cheapest.

Put me that for those towels. Oh, no. She wants us to buy a new house for her. A house. It's a house. Yeah, there's a picture of a house. Buy me a house. No, I don't think she wants a house.

I think she wants a fun to, like, buy towels and stuff. I don't know. I never see someone at a new house. She put the actual house on there. It's a stock photo. There's a stock photo. And it's marked our top choice. That is our top choice.

We just want, like, we just want money. We plan on buying a house after the wedding. I like that too. It's much easier. We just give me money. Just please just do that. Wow, yeah. It's not the point.

The point is actually buy the house. Yeah, this house. I'm looking at Zillow right now. It says, Zestimate 700. 700. What? For this house. 700,000.

It's not the house. It's a picture of a house. I don't have that kind of money. Oh, my God. Okay. Lauren, I hope your marriage is great. Thank you, thank you. Marriage?

Let's start with a wedding first. Well, I hope the marriage is great. The wedding is going to be a disaster. Okay. I hope that's all great. The lottery drawing with the numbers 9999 hit. I wouldn't even pick those numbers. No.

Like if I were picking, I'd be like, there's no way it's going to happen. 366 tickets won. Jeez. When the numbers 9-999 hit. A total 8779-1. $38,000 and prizes are being distributed to 366 winners. So that's awesome, man. Yeah, you still won a bunch.

That split. But you got to split that 366 ways. I didn't know that you can have multiple numbers, the same numbers on the lottery. It's like a pick three or something. Oh, okay. 9-9-99. Oh, I think. Nine-nine, nine.

Whatever. Yeah, it's one of those ones where you can, it's like the numbers are zero through nine or one through nine. And those can repeat. Yes. Got it. Where the power ball, once it comes out, it can't come back out because it's in the same bucket, basically. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Guess what?

Our life expectancy is on the rise. We're headed in the right direction because we had gone down, but now we're expected to live a little bit longer. The average age of 77 and a half years old now, women, we're going to live longer. It's a conversation with my wife and I, because I am almost 12 years older than her. And she's like, I'm already going to live to a later life number than you, just based on data. plus you're already a lot older, so I could die in time. Yeah, women are at 80.2 years for life expectancy, and men are at 74.8. So let's say I die 74.

So that's basically 30 years. Oh, man. I die in 30 years. And then she's got another like 50. Yeah. So she can get married again. Over my dead body. Oh, I guess she can.

Full of their life. Do you all of her talk about that? Like, would you be okay with it? Yeah. No problem. Just don't, he gets into my money. Would she, does she, would she be okay with?

Like, she want to get married? Does someone else? Well, I don't think she wants to, because I don't think she wants me to die. But my wife tells me, like, I will not marry anyone else. Yeah, but she can tell you that because you're not going to be alive

whenever she does. That's a good point to think about that. Yeah, that's messed up. I would just want her to be happy over my dead body. Literally. Yes, okay, go ahead. So it's the end of an era for gum. Apparently, nobody's really chewing it

anymore or as much as we used to. And there's a few reasons why it's been in the decline. Obviously, COVID it went down, but then it just hasn't caught back up like other things have. So there's a trend of limiting sugar and eating foods with better ingredients. And even sugar-free gum has artificial stuff that people are like, I don't know that I don't want to put that in my body. And some people are concerned about, I guess, the litter from gum, like how seeing it everywhere is like disgusting it and spitting it out. Does it go away, though? If you, like, throw it out.

Let's say throw it in the yard. Decomposable. Does it, or does it, because it doesn't sit for seven years. It doesn't sit in your stomach for seven years. That's what they say, though. But I'm saying, Morgan, do you know about this? I don't think it decomposes. The thing that I learned is if you throw it out the window,

birds are typically the ones to pick it up and it gets stuck in their beaks and it kills them. I piece out bird. I'm talking about us. How long will it be? Forget the birds. How long will it be sitting in the yard if you just leave it? Okay. Well, I'm glad Morgan said that because I had no idea that was a thing and that's, we need to save the birds.

Don't pick it up. Birds? Well, yeah, it's true. They don't know. It probably smells good. Or if you do, dude, make sure it's like hubbub and you leave a little bit of flavor. So at least they can have a little something. And then another reason is because of inflated prices.

Like people just don't want to spend money. Of gum? Gum's gone up. Yes, lunchboxes. He's looked something up. He's coming. His chest is puffed out. This is crazy.

Go ahead. For it to decompose on the ground, there has been in-depth research and they think it takes between five to 1,000 years. Well, that's a big spectrum. Five to 1,000. That seems like they have gum at custom. They have no idea and they just made it up. I don't know, Chuck, write this. Between one day and one million days.

I'm sorry, there has yet to be in-depth research, but they said... Oh, well, that's a big... The current understanding is... I don't even listen to any fact checks. The estimate comes from our current understanding of synthetic, plastic, and rubber, and that is what gum is like. And it's five to one thousand years when you throw it on the ground. There's such a difference in that.

But still five years to decompose. That's a long time. Just throwing the trash can, man. And Amy said inflation. My son, we went to the grocery store. But even in the trash, if he's putting a dump, it's still going to be in a place. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but you can save the birds. Forget the birds. Well, what about Eddie's son? Yeah, so he had a dollar, and I said, you can buy whatever you want in the grocery store for a dollar. He can find a single thing. Nothing was under a dollar, not even gum.

Surely, like a single laffy-taffy. No, man, it's crazy. Nothing. Maybe they just didn't have single laffy-tafis. The cheapest was nice. 99 cents, but with tax, he couldn't afford it. Yeah, and according to EcoFreek, it says about 500 years to decompose,

and it is very bad for the environment. 80 to 90% of gum is not disposed up properly. I just keep thinking of Red Solo Cup. It's not disposable. And you, my friend, don't have a pair of vegetables. Yeah, yes. Okay, anyone else?

Okay, so mom fluencers who glamorize motherhood are making new moms feel really insecure. just because a lot of times they're posting their happy kids. They always have their hair and their makeup done and their house is clean. But just remember that's not reality. But a lot of people are watching the content and then they're like feeling depressed about how they mother or how their house looks or what their life is like or what they look like. Just another reminder to not compare yourself to someone who's doing that on Instagram.

Yeah, I mean, didn't we see that lady that just did that and she went to prison? She was this mommy blogger that was all about. Ruby Frankie. I don't know her name. Yeah, so she was popular on YouTube. There's now a special, like I think, who 2020 has a special or whatever I was watching it. Because she got arrested last year, and it was wild. She had all kinds of mom tips on YouTube.

And I think she had like two million followers on YouTube. And she was giving advice to other parents on how to parent. And then yet on the side, she was abusive to her kids. The 2020 thing is just wild. Did you watch it? clips of the 20. I don't want, who watched the 2020? Oh, I did. But I watch clips of that 2020 thing. And, because it was on social media. I don't even know, I don't even know what it is. Yeah, I just saw the story. And I saw the kid walk up to, like, he snuck out, he broke out and he went to a neighbor's garage who was in his garage.

He's like, can you do me two things? Can you give me something to eat? And can you take me to the police station? Which this kid's going to be, and it's going to have so much trauma forever. Yeah. The crazy part is, is, um, the. person she was in partnership with. So she was like a mom influencer or whatever giving mommy advice on YouTube. But then she partnered with a therapist and the therapist was bad too. They were at the therapist's house and the kids

were being abused there. I don't know. I don't want to talk about it anymore. It makes you feel super uncomfortable this early in the morning. I like to go in a hour. In an hour. Yeah. I don't believe what you see on Instagram is basically. That's good. Yeah, I don't like it. Well, my final point was it was really part of that that stood out to me was a woman, an adult woman now, came out and said,

I told everybody years ago this therapist woman is like her aunt or something. She was doing this stuff. She did it to me. It's bad. And like a lot of times people don't feel heard. And then 20 years later it's like, oh, okay. So just try to listen to people and hear them and investigate.

It was like, Tom, something bad? All right, Amy, is that it? I'm Amy, that's my poem. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Ever since he was a young, child, Joseph has dreamed of

owning a Ford Mustang. He loves cars, but he always wanted that Mustang. What, 11 years old, Joseph found out that he had bone cancer, and after years of treatment, it spread to his lungs, and he was just given a month to live. Well, now, Joseph is 18 years old. Oh, wow.

Yeah, he's fought and fought. He's 18 years old now, and his dad said, you know what, Joseph, I'm going to buy you that Mustang. So he bought him a 2020 Mustang, and that's not it. They put it on social media, and the CEO for the Ford company found out, and he said, I'm going to send Joseph to

racing school. So now Joseph is on his way to racing school. He's going to have drivers instruct him how to race on a racetrack, and he's going to be able to drive the dark horse, which is a souped up Mustang, and he can drive on a track. I love all that, but, I mean, you got me at the beginning. He's like only a month to live, and I thought he was going to be one of those. So for a whole month, he got to live it out.

No, man. He's 18. And he's going strong. And his dad's like, you know what, man? We're going to live hard right now. So there's your Mustang. Great story. 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 I'm saying.
