Hi, I'm Iris Palmer, host of the Against All Odds podcast. Every week, I'm sitting down with exceptional people who had broken barriers,

even when the odds were stacked against them. Like chef Victor Villa of Villas Tacos. You know the Taquero from the Bad Bunny halftime show? It was great. It was a big moment. It was special. And I felt like I was really representing my family, you know, my brand, my city. I was representing all taqueros.

not only of like, you know, the U.S., but of Mexico and beyond, all the taqueros of the world. Listen to Against All Odds on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Listen to the Cino 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. It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. You're first. So, let's see, my dog needed a bath, like really bad, like groomed because she started to get mad. Her hair grows out and it gets matted if you don't brush it a lot. And I got a little behind on that. So I called to try to book her an appointment. they don't have any openings for a month. At the dog place for a month? Yeah, the place that's most convenient for me to take her, and they do a really great job, and they have a great price.

Who do they think they are? The testicle doctor? No, I guess you're just feeling busy right now. It's ridiculous. Then I get a call yesterday last minute, because they know that I live super close, and they're like, we just had a cancellation if you can get her up here right now. I was like, yeah. So that was awesome to take her in.

But then also, I'm on a walk yesterday listening to a podcast about our microbiome. And just speaking of, like, cleaning dogs or even just having a dog in general, having one in your home significantly improves your gut microbiome because your dog is introducing other types of bacteria into your home that then helps you. So if you have a dog, feel good about that. And you're like sometimes freaking out your gut. Like a bacteria. Would you compare it to bacteria? Yeah. The stuff in your gut that's crucial to it functioning properly. And so when you have a dog, it makes sure the bacteria in your home more diverse.

So it's good. So sometimes if you're freaking out like, oh, my dog, like, I always want to wipe her paws off. You still should. I still should. And I buy these wipes. I know she's got other things, but sometimes I just really overthink it. And I'm like, oh, this is disgusting. I can't believe we have a dog just like all over my stuff.

And then I just thought I'd give you that encouragement of like maybe if you're thinking about getting a dog. dog and you're worried about your microbiome, problem solved. I wanted to shoot my dogs this morning. Why? Wait, this is tell me something good. I know. And it's not a dog problem. It's that our dogs, if somebody drives up, they go crazy, obviously, especially at night.

Amazon showed up like 3.30. In the morning? Yes. What are they thinking? Exactly. So the dogs, and so I think all of a sudden somebody's breaking in. So, all right, I get up, but I do it slow. I do it slow.

Obviously, I got a gun. I didn't grab the gun. Because it could have also been an animal, but I was trying to figure out what was up with the dogs, and I figured out it was Amazon. I don't know why they come that early. That's crazy. Yeah. Sometimes you can order next day and it'll say come between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m.

Do you ever see that as an option? Well, this was 3.30, but 4 a.m. is still too early as an option to come by. Dogs are freaking out. So that happened. And then speaking of, like, your immune system, Mike thinks he doesn't get sick because of the Mexican water he drank as a kid, which I thought was super interesting. Yeah, I drank it as a kid, and I feel like that just totally helped my immune system, because the first time I drank it, I got so sick that I hallucinated.

I had a crazy fever. I was imagining that there was this like leprechaun figure clapping his hands. And I'm like, Mom, there's a little lepercon right there clapping his hands. What do you mean you don't see it? And my mom started freaking out. I heard like two people playing tennis. They took me to the doctor in Mexico. And it's like the sickest I've ever been.

And ever since then, I never get sick. Hmm, I believe it. Did your parents drink it? Yeah. Do you know if you breastfed? I did. See? he was getting it from his mom.

I believe it. They say that like even when we're born and like Bobby, you're going to have a baby soon. When we come out of the birth canal, there's all this fluid and stuff. And a lot of times, you know, spoiler alert, I don't know, but there's fecal matter mixed in with all of that. But that is good. The baby's mouth is open and crying. And that's like they say if you have a C-section that sometimes they'll take fluid from the birth canal and like the other. stuff and they rub it on the baby so it gets into them.

And then when you breastfeed, you're also getting stuff that way that's crucial to the formation of your gut microbiome and you build your immunity then. Do you see leprechauns? Not anymore. I don't know. I mean, I'm just saying, but maybe Mike, I mean, maybe he's on to something. Then how come lunchbox is still sick every day? Right.

Maybe. Because he lives gross. Lunchbox, did you come out of the birth canal? No, no. I came out of the birth canal. And the reason Mike doesn't get sick is he's not a. around children. I'm telling you, as an adult, you don't get sick until you're around children. When you're around children, Eddie, has four kids. Four kids, man. No, no. And Eddie, when they were

young, did you get sick all the time? Not like you. And one is still, you weren't around them. One is still five, six. Still young. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's seven now, but yeah. Yeah. Well, I just had a birthday. Just had a birthday to be fair. And I'm not sick all the time. Yeah, no. So that makes no sense. Did your kids make your testicle swell or give you yeast I have been sick one time in the last year. You also come in, that's not true, because you came in a few weeks ago, like, I have no voice. That's allergies. I don't think he counts that as sick.

That's allergies. Anytime your body cannot do what it normally does, that's sick. You're sick. I would say that's allergies. I mean, it happens. Everybody gets allergies. I can't control that. I'm not holding it against you.

I'm just saying, how is he not immune to it by now? Because. I'm telling you, kids bring germs that you. I don't know how it is, but the type of germs they bring is just not compatible with an adult. And you, my friend, I'm telling you, just wait. I don't know if your kid's going to go to daycare, but if not in five years when that kid goes to kindergarten, oh boy, you are going to get your earth rocked. Don't teachers eventually get immune to it?

Teachers do, yeah. Yeah. But you. So why wouldn't. Yeah, right. What's what I'm saying? All right. and you got tuberculosis and all kinds of stuff.

Well, that was the long time ago. Still, but no kids. That's still on the checklist. I know. I think what we're talking about is early development. Like, maybe some stuff. Yeah, but we're also talking about lunchbox always getting sick. I know, just generally like it's been weak for.

Yeah, no, it's all the stuff. His kid didn't hurt his stomach. His kid didn't hurt his testicle. Yeah, I don't know. Guys, tell me something good. Who's next? Right, right, right. Gosh.

Sorry. Lunchbox, you can go next. Man, I don't know if I have anything. good to say, man. I'm very depressed right now. I was just asking a science-backed question. Yeah, I mean, I would like to know the science behind it too because I don't understand how kids' germs rock certain people so hard.

Like, it is just crazy to me. I don't know. I just, I wish I could help you. I wish I could. Am I still going? Yes. It's up to you. Yeah, oh, yeah.

I would like to just say that I'm excited because my wife, was able to find a babysitter for tonight. We're supposed to go out with some friends for a neighbor's birthday. And man, we'd called like six babysitters and nothing, nothing, nothing. And last night she got a call from number six on the list said, I can babysit. So we're going out to a nice dinner. Sounds like the insurance companies, doesn't it?

Same story. Like everybody keeps saying no for probably reasons. Why did you think that was a funny story? Same thing. Like, do they know, like, they might get sick? They're like, don't go to that house. They show up in one of those suits, one of those hazmat suits. I'm here to babysit.

What do you guys do? Just going to dinner with neighbors? He said nice dinner. It's one of the neighbors, his wife, it's her birthday. And so I guess he made reservations somewhere. I don't even know where you guys going. I don't know. I don't know, like, what it is.

I don't know the name of it. I just know that he said he's not drinking, so he'll drive. So we have a ride and there you go. Guys, I don't think I want to drink anymore. What? That's not true. Did you get drug class night or something? Like what's happened recently?

Yeah, exactly. Because like, I tried. My algorithm. Go ahead. My algorithm. It's poison. Yes, like doctors that I follow that are like, guys, alcohol is a carcinogen no matter what way you spin it. and I get it.

It's also a business. So a lot of people make a lot of money off of it, and we have been raised to think that it's okay in moderation. And I'm starting to wonder, like, I just don't know that it is. But we're conditioned to think like, oh, well, it's not that bad. As long as you're not an alcoholic, like, it's fine to have. And I just don't, I don't know anymore that it is. You can have opinions.

You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. 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, 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 podcast. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes. takes to take control of your money.

We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with

the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about like, I'm going to get rich. That's great.

Yep, yep, exactly. And if I can't walk up and over it, I'm going to go through it. Listen to Mind Over Mountain every Thursday on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I had to tell Amy last night to go to bed. Why? You did? What she texted you? Late.

I was at the DM. I can't. Amy sent me a DM last night that was. I guess I went to bed because I didn't even see you tell me going to Go to bed. There was like Galane, Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein had body doubles. And she sent me this thing. And I said, Amy, go to bed.

No, no, no. It's not her. Nothing. It's not her. Nothing, you tell me what I look at and go. There's no way that's true. Everything is in play now. Everything's in play.

And now that we're going to go to war with Iran and we're also going to have Trump release alien files, it's all the distraction. This is the most, let's distract from the FD files. He just said they've got like 10 days or bad things will happen. So we're going to go to war with Iran, most likely. They've been saying that. They're prepared now to go. They've moved the carriers over.

Everything's ready. Nobody wants that. Second of all, Obama gets on a podcast and says that the guy asks them, are aliens at all? And he goes, yeah, yeah, but I ain't seen him. You know, he does his Obama thing. And so then everybody goes, oh, they're freaking out. And Trump goes, he can't say that. classified and then Trump's like, I'm going to release all the classified information.

In a tweet, you told Pete Hexas to do it. So it's like, we're going to war with the Iran. We're giving alien secrets. It's all just to divert from the XE files. Then Obama backtracked. Yeah, but he was like. I don't think he really was saying stuff too. He was like, yeah, there are aliens.

But it's not like Terry Downing. Yeah, I'm just saying like, there's no underground bunker or anything. Yeah. We said anything about a bunker. Right. Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, weird. Yeah.

I don't know. This, I just feel. Whatever this narrative is right now, I want out of it. I want out. Amy, are you standing up late reading this stuff? It was 918 when she texted me. I was in bed. Yeah, yeah. I hit it with Amy. You go to bed. Yeah, I should have been reading my book, but yeah, I got sucked in by body doubles. Donald Trump has directed the Pentagon and other federal agencies to begin identifying and releasing

classified government files related to UFOs in extraterrestrial life. Trump said the decision was driven by tremendous interest in unidentified aerial phenomena. There's been tremendous interest for years. The move comes after Barack Obama recently said the existence of alien life is statistically likely. Officials have not provided a timeline. Okay. I mean, cool. Aliens, I'll take it.

Speaking of timelines, we're in a weird one, like Amy said. It's weird as the timelines. I've renamed the DOJ. Yeah, the Department of Distraction. DOWTF. Oh, yeah, DOWTF. Amy, that's funny. I thought of that last night.

But like, so back to Obama, if he knew, like, real stuff about aliens, would he just come out and say that? So I have a theory that because it was rapid fire at the end, and I don't think you're really going to get a president to agree to an interview, just generally speaking, and not tell them what you're going to ask. I do think they need to be told or they're not going to do it. It doesn't matter who the president is. Questions in advance, do you mean? Yeah, yeah. So they probably allowed that in that space because it's just like, yeah, they're aliens. All right.

It happens, you know, and then they just roll. Your Obama impression is funny. It's like Jerry Seinfeld and Obama. What? What's the deal? What's the deal? What's the deal with aliens? There was probably some intention behind that.

I do think there's a slow rollout by our governor officials, too, to let us know that. So do you think they're, since they're all in on it, they tap each other, like, Obama, you're up. It's your turn, slow roll. Possibly. And then another president's like or another somebody else in government. Okay, you're up. But when does Bill Clinton step up? Like it's never his turn.

Monica never said much about the aliens. Love me. I don't know. Listen, I literally know nothing, but it's one distraction after the other right now. Eddie, you have one? Yes, a huge one. So remember I told you guys that my pipe exploded during the ice storm and it was a huge, you a waterfall that turned into a huge, like,

icicle, whatever. So I'm assuming, man, my water bill is going to be crazy. Well, if I got my water bill last night, it was $70, which is the lowest I've ever gotten in a water bill. Is it because it froze? I think it just froze so quickly. Instead of just ran for like, you know, four days straight, which is great news. I was trying to think of one.

It's one of those days where you really have to evaluate the day and go, hmm, well, it's good about it because nothing really bad happened. But I think if I were to put a crown on one instance, It was at a late-ish evening yesterday recording a bobby cast with Morgan Evans. So I was up here until after six. And my wife, I just went ahead and ordered me a burger and fries. And so when I got home, it was just there. She was like, I figured you'd forgotten to have any sort of dinner.

She didn't cook anything. She's pregnant. And so I just got home and was like, dang. She might still cook you something. Yeah, but I wouldn't expect it. You wouldn't put that on her, yes. because she's pregnant. Yeah.

There's no expectation of her doing anything she does now is bonus. It's fine. Yeah. That's what I meant. Is there a burger, a burger like local? Yeah. Now I just picture you getting burgers from like.

I know. Blaze. No, no, from like gold belly or whatever. Oh, a local burger. Local burger.

Okay. She ordered it. But it was just, I was like, oh, that's very thoughtful at a time whenever, you know, she's not feeling great.

Right. She was thinking to you. She remember that I still wasn't home. I'd have been home all day. I came home for 30 minutes throughout the whole day. And other than that, she had taken care of.

And Night Agent started streaming again last night. I was back. It's back. New season is up. It's good. I like that. Yeah, I like season one. It's so corny.

I need corny. Season two is a little less corny. I have a feeling just through one episode, the season three is a little less corny than season one and season two. Because I didn't get cringe vibes at all from the first episode. But also, I think I'm in a decent place to know this is a corny show. It's good, but it's corny. So, yeah, that's good, too.

I didn't sleep very well last night. There's a storm. There was a storm last night? Yeah, woke, I think, or was that my dream? I don't know. Is it a lepricon? I woke up multiple times to howling, like wind. Yeah, I heard wind.

I heard wind. And, like, rain or something. I never got a storm. I got dogs barking at the Amazon guy, but no. Maybe they were barking at, like, the wind. No, no, I literally saw it. Oh, you saw the Amazon guy. Okay.

Yeah, I saw the car driving off. And I was like, who's just coming through our hat? And there was a package on the front porch. All right, there you go. That's Tell Me Something Good. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the good news. With Bobby.

Tell me something good. This mailman named Bruce works in Pittsburgh and it snowed a bunch. And so he's, you know, delivering the mail because they do. Rain, snow, sleet, or shine. Isn't it their slogan? That's what they say. Something like that. He's out doing it and he finds a wallet.

And so he takes a wallet, puts in his pocket, finishes a wallet. route, goes through the wallet, finds the ID, and then went and tracked down the owner, except he learned the family had moved. So he drives 50 miles in his own car. Wow. After work. Wait, what? If he found that they moved, can you just remail it? I mean, he works at the post office. You know, he probably gets a deal. But I think he just wanted to get it to them right away. Nice. So he drove 50 miles, returned the cash, credit cards, and ID. Yeah. What? What are we doing? I mean, that's important stuff. Like, I wouldn't want to risk the. And they're freaking out, probably canceling everything.

Right. So you can drive it back. Postal official say Bruce never sought recognition and only wanted to spread joy. That's from CBS News. So a big shout out to Bruce Armagh in Pittsburgh, who's delivering mail, found the wallet, and got it back to that family.

That's awesome. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the good news. With Lunchbox. Tell me something good. Anthony Semenetti is one tired dude. He just completed seven marathons.

seven continents and seven days. Wow. Yeah, his sister battled childhood cancer, so he's always been inspired by her. He wanted to raise some money for St. Jude. He's like, what can I do? I'll run seven marathons, seven days, seven continents, and he raised $72,000.

Man, it's been cool for $77,000. But still, the logistics of it. Yeah, I'm like trying to figure out. Because let's say you do it, you run it in America, you take a quick trip up to Toronto. He said you do it in the Northeast. That's close. That's a car.

You don't even need to have a plane, but then you got to get in. No, but that's a continent. That's the same continent. Yeah, I'm doing countries. Yeah, we need to go. He started in Antarctica. Okay. And then he finished in Miami.

The last one was in America. Okay, but we're wondering how he got from Antarctica to Asia. He got on a plane. He flew. I don't know how he did it, but he did it. You guys, stupid question. But if you want to go to Antarctica, where do you fly into it? There's an airport there?

Anarctic International. Like where? Is there the place there? There is, yeah. There's an airport in Antarctica. Wow. Yeah. So did he do them in seven consecutive days? Yes.

That's what it says. In one week, he flew from Antarctica. I know if he didn't do them in consecutive days, I love it still. I would need to research it how he did this because how does he get to Asia, Australia, Europe. Like it takes 20 hours just to get to Australia by itself from here. Right. Obviously, you can be in another.

And then you're having to hop off. I mean, planes do you. It says seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. So that to me, there is no word consecutive. But if it's not consecutive, it's not as impressive. It's still impressive. It's still impressive. I'm just trying to figure out how he makes all those, that travel house.

Can you go with the time zone or like skip time by going? Oh. Like could you go from here to somewhere else and then skip a day? Or you're like, you'd want to go back a day. Okay, back a day. So that could be it. Because if you go to Australia from here, you're going forward in time. You don't want to do that.

We're spending way too much time on... No, no, but here's the crazy part. I don't know what this dude does for a living because next month he's going to go climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise more money for St. Jude. Well, that's great. I love the story and the effort. Do you see anything about how he did it, Mike?

It just says consecutive days. He does say consecutive? Then, yeah, he must have done the time zones. Half the work is going to be him just figuring out how to get places. That's tour routing. And then hopefully no delays. Dang, I didn't even think about that. And if you get delayed, you don't tell anyone.

Just do it anyway. All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. This is Julian Edelman, host of Games with Names.
