From our lives I'd have to think about this too Yeah it'd be tough Let's see Oh it would be tough I gotta dig deep in there See if anything's good It is possible

Okay It's just a weird time right now Things aren't terrible at all Because trust me they've been terrible They're just a little nigh But I can dig Dig deep Let's dig

I can dig I cannot go first But I can dig Who wants to go first I'll go first. Go ahead. Guys, for the first time in nearly three months, I went on the soccer field and played soccer.

Why three months? Because I've had that pain and I thought if I stopped that it would just go away and it never did. And then I got on Seattleus and then I have testicular pain. And I was like, you know what? And the doctor says you're not going to make it any worse. Go out there and live your life. So I went out there and live my life.

Are you running around with a bonner? Oh, no. Dude. No, no, no, no. In your soccer shorts? No. Oh. But also, I don't think that him playing soccer is good for his insurance claim.

Oh, yeah, that's a good point, too. For his bag. Oh, yeah, dude, you didn't play soccer. You thought about playing soccer. Dude, but if you're on Seattleis and you're running around out there in shorts. That's dangerous. I'll stand up right now. No, no, no.

Do not. Do not. Stay down. I got to do tell me something bad if that happens. Okay. Good for you. Yeah. I mean, I played 11 minutes out of a 50-minute game.

That really is great. But I did something. That's great. That's cool. Amy, do you have something? Mm-hmm. You don't, if you're not ready yet. Not ready.

Eddie? Oh, man, I'm not ready. I'm not ready, dude. I have gratitude. Just give me a sec. Same, same. We're just in a season. We're in a season right now.

It is. I got a couple things that happened yesterday that I can share. Okay. So I've been working on, because I don't know when the last time was we interviewed Blake Shelton in here. It's been a while that we've had. Yeah, because the last time he was here, at least in person, I had to do it because you had to go because it's an emergency. Yeah, I don't, again, I don't remember.

And my Netflix show is launching on the 26th. Yep. And I thought it'd be good to sit down with Blake for 45 minutes or an hour. I've never actually done that ever as far as on camera. So he doesn't live here. So he reached out and he was like, yeah, just come to town. And I'll sit with you for an hour. So yesterday I got the word.

And so we're going to go out to L.A. Mike and I are. and sit with Blake for an hour, record an interview for Netflix for the show, all that. That's good. That'll be good. It's really cool. Yeah, that's one.

And then I got invited, and I don't know if I can do it, but I got invited to be on a trivia team the Thursday night before the Super Bowl, because there's two days, we're not staying for the game this year, but there's two days that we're going to be out there just doing interviews. I'm picturing like a bar.

No, it's in a theater. It's in a theater. So Barstool does this, they have a massive tournament. like Trivia League and Brandon Walker and PFT they were like hey come be on our team. Do they know you have trivia skills? Do they know you were like the Quiz Bowl captain? I don't know if I can do it though because I got to get I got to get back.

Oh man you have to do this. I am not going to stay gone for any more than two days on my wife's pregnant. So I can't, I'm not going to go. That shifted quick. You can't do this. You have to get back. I told her a long time ago. I was like I'm not going to be gone for any more than.

have like three multiple trips coming up it's like it can't be gone for any more than two days because she's pregnant and not she didn't just get pregnant yesterday you know yeah um so i don't know if i can but it was nice to be invited i got to figure out though the next couple days because it's like a big deal it's a whole theater people coming it's a league they got invited to be their teammate and it seemed super fun but i can't yeah i can't do that she told me yesterday she stopped saying she's very pregnant she asked if I would stop because it means just how the word is yeah yeah yeah but I understand what you mean when you say it yeah like the time that she's pregnant it yeah yeah and that's what I said and I said I'll stop saying it like that you got to grant her wishes yeah it's be the best for you so okay that's a couple

things for me Amy anything from you Eddie? Oh yeah uh I did get a text for my brother-in-law which is kind of cool I don't know if this is good but it was kind of cool he was in Amarillo and he He says, dude, I'm an Amarillo for some work, and I got it in my rental car, and you're on the radio. Oh, that's cool. And I was like, wow, that's really cool. And I don't think he's ever really known how, like, big our show is. And I think for the first time he's like, dude, you're a big deal. And I was like, wow, I've never.

And he's an FBI agent. And so, like, to me, that was just really cool. Oh, yeah, that is cool. That was really cool. Because, like, his work's, like, legit. It's meaningful. And, like, for him. Ours is stupid.

Stop saying our job is not meaningful. Why do you downgrade our job? He's an FBI agent. Do you understand how much happiness we bring millions of people in America? Their lives would suck. Eddie, I feel you. Oh, my God. It felt good from mental well-being is very important,

and we provide that for so many people. Quit downgrading our job. We are important. That is a good feeling, though. I had that feeling the other day my boyfriend was in D.C. And he was like, hey, yeah, I just got in my rental car. And it was 98. 7 WMZQ.

I was like, shout out. So he listened. I never know where we're. we are anymore where our show is where our show isn't but i had over to the bobby cast we interviewed i interviewed catch from old crow and his new fiance molly tuttle who is a fantastic bluegrass artist and they were in san francisco and they were like hey we're listening to you while we're there we're doing some you just came on oh bay country yeah yeah so uh yeah steve young too was probably listening if that's how he knew i was He's like, yeah, that's crazy.

Amy, do you have anything? My back is better. Praise the Lord. From what? I don't know. It's been, I've been struggling since Christmas Day, so it's been quite some time. I remember I woke up that morning and that was the first thing. And then I've been, it was because it was holiday season, the chiropractor I go to, I couldn't see him for a couple weeks.

So it was like early January, I went to him twice. And he was like, just give it some time. It needs to like level out, but you should be good. And that's all I had to do. And then I feel like this morning. It's like I just I went to the bathroom earlier and I get up from my chair and I mean it's a little but I'm so much better I feel like today's like the first day I'm really not feeling it. That's good. Don't push it.

Hallelujah. Yeah, I had to take a break from Pilates. He grounded me. I was like, well, I still been going to Pilates but they give me a stick like a whole. Like a cane. Let's call it what it is. Is that for the older people? Yes.

And I was like the elderly pole. Or injured or injured people. Yeah. I know, but I fell out literally. Or maybe pregnant. So I was like holding the pole and he was like, no, no, no, no, no. You're grounded from Pilates. No working out.

And so now we're back in business. I found something. Back in business. There you go. Good deal. We dug and we found it. We found it. 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 I'm saying. Yep. That's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits.

We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing

to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast eating while broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what?

Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community stress. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes.

Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to eating while broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Instead of receiving gifts for our eighth birthday, Addison Chambers of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, continued her tradition of giving back to her community. She created 59 birthday boxes herself with cake mix,

disposable pans, plates, napkins, and candles for families in need. She began this tradition at age five after realizing some people may not get a birthday cake. And this year, what she wanted was donations to buy, like I mentioned, cake mix, disposable pants, and she would use that money for her birthday to buy these birthday boxes for other people. So she's also a member of her school's kindness club. That's cool. That's from KJRH, eight years old. What I like about it is,

she got so much positive feedback at five that made her want to continue doing it, which shows you when someone does something great, if you give them positive affirmation, it makes them want to do it more because everybody loves to be affirmed in a positive way. Yep. Is that a wrong reason to do it?

No, I don't know. Because she had to see this and want to do it, and then she did it, and everyone's like, that's amazing. So she's like, well, I don't I keep doing that. I like how. Doing things for others makes you feel good. And that's a good thing.

Is it selfish that you're doing it so you can feel good? Well, that's tricky. No. Is that the only reason you're doing it just so you feel good? Yes, that's a problem. My argument would be, who cares? As long as other people are benefiting, it doesn't. Even if you're doing it just for yourself.

Because there are people who do charitable things just so they can get the praise for doing it. There are celebrities that do nice things for other people just so they can get the praise from it. I don't care. You're still helping somebody. In the end, the net gain is somebody that did not have help got help. And it's free to give praise to people. You know what ain't free? Food that people need.

So that'd be the point there. That'd be what I would say to that. It works. Yes. So a big shout out to Addison Chambers and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the good news.

With Amy. Tell me something good. There's this woman, Angela. She's a nurse at Florida St. Lucie Hospital, and she was admitted with severe abdominal pain. She had to go in for emergency surgery just before her wedding anniversary with her husband Christopher, meaning that she would be in the hospital on their special day. Well, she had surgery in the hospital that she works at, so she knows the nurses, and they knew that her anniversary was that night.

So they went into her room and they covered her head up, and they were like, you can't look. And so she said that was the old. weird part is that like she had to shield her face. But when the blanket was taken down, they had filled the room with candles, flowers, formal plates and glassware. And they had a steak and shrimp dinner at her bedside with her husband, Christopher. And it was just really cool. That's fun.

They just care about her. That's good. Yeah. And Christopher was like, gosh, this is the first time I've seen her smile in like a week. Christopher, you need to be doing better as a husband then. That's the case. That's a great story. I love it.

That's just people caring about people. 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. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th.
