It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. You want to go first? Yeah, I guess I don't really know why it's so difficult sometimes to convince my son to get a haircut. It's like a thing. Like he just resist and does not want to do it.

But there's this one barber in particular that he loves. And I was trying to get an appointment for tonight. And he was booked. But then I just got a message that he had an opening. And so it's great news because this is the barber that he's, feels the best with. He's just really hard to get into. Do they have a traumatic experience as a kid? I don't cut his head or something?

No, nothing like that. Like, I really don't know what it is. Like, it's just like this one little piece of control he holds onto for some reason. But this barber, he loves. And now we're in. And it's just great because I just like it when he's got, especially, you know, now that he's in track and he's running. Why not let him grow his hair out, though?

He doesn't want to grow it out. He doesn't want to grow it out. He doesn't want to go to the barber. Exactly. Unless it's this specific one. And this one's just hard to get into. And it's hard to plan ahead because I don't always know his schedule.

And, you know, he's going to be with his dad. He's going to be with me. And then getting him out there because it's like 30 minutes away. And so we're in now. 5 o'clock. Just got the note. And so I'm excited because he's going to like

go into the weekend with a good haircut and go into his track me next week. Speaking of his running, I gave you all an update the other day that he had a PR for his mile of 512. he just hit 5-11. He had a race like last night, 5-11. Where were they racing?

Independence. Oh. There's a track meet over here at school? Yeah, no, it wasn't over here. Everything was blocked. We tried to go to our normal walk. Everything is blocked. So we're like, what's happening?

What was that noise? Somebody fell. It's like somebody just collapsed. Sorry, I collapsed over here. It felt like a body hitting the ground. Morgan has the Amy sunglasses today. Morgan, why are you wearing the sunglasses today? My vertigo is back.

Oh, that's the thing. telling me something suck. Yeah, not good news. So yeah, I'm a little off kilter, so I just drop my phone on my laptop. Is that really why? Yeah, I'm just like my, my, like, what is it called? Your motor functions are just not the same when you have vertigo. You're kind of all over the place. So did you drive into work. I did. Yeah. Should you be driving into work? Um, I'm functioning better than I did last time. So not a good answer for him to drive into work. Not at all. I, yes. I think I'm okay to my. Vestibular specialists says I'm okay too. She wants me to be doing active, like, things to try and give me back to normal, but... Yeah, is driving one of this? No, man.

Yeah, like, is it active, like just going on a walk? Yeah. Going on a walk? I can't crash into somebody else. I gotta get to work. When did this come back? This week. It happened Wednesday night when I was sleeping, and I just rolled over in bed.

Oh, you weren't even doing anything that triggered it? Nope. I just rolled over in bed, and it happened again. Gosh. Explain to us what vertigo feels like. You know that tilt a ride that if you go to one of those janky set up circuses and that has that tilt whirl ride where you stand up. Yeah, you're like standing against a wall and it's just circling and you can't really

walk forward. You're like stuck against a wall. Yeah, the gravity ride. Yeah. Yes. That's what it feels like if you try to walk. Like you're up against gravity because your body's constantly like pushing you towards a different direction.

What about if you try to drive? That's another good question, man. As long, I'm actually better when I'm sitting and my face is not moving a whole lot. Like, as long as my whole body can move with it, it's when my face itself, like, tries to look to the ground or look up. It's perpendicular things. It's called a parallel. When you drive, you're sometimes looking left, right. Yeah, I have to use my whole body to look left.

Like, I can't just, like, peek over my shoulder. I have to, like, turn my whole body. to do it. When I was in a neck brace, I had to do that. When were you in a neck brace? High school football. Oh, really? They call me Myrtle the Turtle. And I, yeah, you have to turn your whole body. It's what it reminds me of. Yeah. I do wear a neck brace sometimes at night. So my head, because if I turn my head in the wrong way, I like ruin the work that we've done on it to try and get me better. I'm kind of feeling today to tell me something

suck. So should we just all do tell me something? Why? Well, Amy talked about in part one, her eye is bothering her. Well, I have a stye. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that sucks. And it's about to be, I mean, honestly, it was kind of sucky that I couldn't get, I couldn't get a haircut, but I think it's so good.

I actually want to shout out barbers out there that make kids feel comfortable. Shout out. Shout out, right? Because there's probably a lot of kids to just hate going to get their haircut. Yeah. And you find the right person. Well, you're really hanging on to the haircut and thing, huh? Mm-hmm.

I'm trying to be like, I was like, well, maybe. I was trying to the beginning, but man, she's fighting for it. No, because I'm like... How can I help her too? Me too. Sometimes we want to bail each other out because we realize what we got really ain't a lot. So we do that. For me, it's good.

I guess for me it's good. And then I'm like, yeah, I guess it is kind of like lame. Tell me something lame. It works, but... I get it. It's just not like super exciting. No, tell me something suck. One of your eyes won't open as much as your other one.

Okay. Yeah. And it's painful every time I can tell it's painful. But I took some leave. and I took, I have the sty cream in, which feels weird and gooey. And then, you know, I'm just thinking positively. That'll fix it.

Yeah. Speaking of eyes, I give you a tell me something to suck. So my bulldog, Stanley, had a scratch in his eye, a big one. We don't know how he got it. And so I've been every day, four times a day, I've been putting these antibiotic eye drops in his eye, and it's not working.

My old relief. Dr. Josie came back over yesterday. She was like, it's not getting a lot better. Let's up the eye drops. stronger so I'm doing it but the good part is I do it so often he just takes it now because he would he'd fight it because no one wants drops in their eyes I don't want drops in my eyes yeah yes it's like natural reflex and so now he's just so tired of me grabbing him all the time he just sits there and just goes like go ahead do it he holds his eye open he's like hey hey

but to tell me something suck it she came over yesterday for two reasons one she wanted to see the baby then she's pregnant uh so two she wanted to see his eye and she's like if this doesn't get better by Monday. He's got to go in for surgery. What? Dang. That's telling me something suck. You want to know that tell me something suck? Yes. But I can turn this in and tell me something good. I was up way late last night because Arkansas played basketball and we lost.

We got drummed. I figured we'd lose because Arizona's really good. So that sucks. However, going into the game, I'll turn this into a good. Beforehand, I told Eddie and told the guys, we lose this game. We're predicted to lose this game. We had a good season. Second year under our coach, and it was a better year than the first year.

a second suite 16, but we had a conference championship. We had a player of the year, conference player of the year, All-American, so things were trending up for us. So it sucked losing last night, and it got to be pretty bad. And I'm proud of myself because I went into it going, if we do lose, I still have, this is how I'm going to feel after, it was not rageful.

I even fell asleep within an hour after the game. Because it was late. It was so late. It's after 11. Yeah, for no reason. Old me would have taken a baseball bat and gone to mailboxes. around the neighborhood. Oh, my.

Talking to yourself, like that help. But I had to be truthful. I can't just talk to myself and talk me out of situations. I had to be truthful to go, yeah, it's going to be a little disappointing, but it was better than year one. And look at all these things.

Look at the growth from year one to year two. And we're just getting started. Could be worse. Good job, man. You know how I talked to myself last night that might sound a little crazy, but it's just me- It's about haircut.

Oh, God. No. It's just about me practicing Limsy. I was getting ready for bed and I have this like nighttime drink I make before bed. It just has magnesium. It's nothing crazy. It's like.

Tequila? No. And I, so I had the tea kettle and I pour it. And then I'm over by the sink. And then I drop the whole coffee mug into the sink. And so not only did I just waste a scoop of my nighttime drink that I pay for. But then I was like, oh, now I have to boil more water. And instead, like I could have really gotten mad.

but I decided to turn it into this whole skit of how that cup was poisoned. And I was like, oh, my gosh. You made a whole storyline? Yes, no, this is insane. It's whimsy. This is how you practice being whimsical. You turn it into a whole thing. And I was like, oh my gosh, like this saved my life.

Like that cup was poisoned. And I'm going to live. Is that whimsy or dementia? No. No, it's whimsy because instead of getting mad. What's the definition of? Yeah, just being playful. I would just be like, that's funny.

Luckily, nobody cut their foot. Yeah. What? Positive. No, the law of averages, I'm going to drop a cup every 500 lifts or something. Not the Germans tried to poison me, World War II. Ooh, I didn't think about that. Yeah, that would have been next level.

But I thought about, I get to live another day. And yay, the next scoop isn't going to be poisoned. So I'm all good. And I just scooped it in there and I made my cup and then I went upstairs. So were you drinking before that drink? Yeah, sounds like it. Did you have a different? No.

No, but this, I don't know. To me, that's where whimsy has really come in handy. Because I was ready for bed. I could have gotten annoyed and it could have gone another way. But I just decided to be like, I'm alive. Whatever works for you. That sounds a little crazy though. Yeah, but that's why you do it in the privacy of your own home.

And then tell everyone else about it. I would have kept it quiet. I'm just telling y'all. Some of your whimsy doesn't have to be public. Yeah, good. Whatever. Works for me. Morgan, tell me something sucked for you.

It's probably just going to be your eyes, huh? Oh, yeah, it's the vertigo. I mean... I guess it's your ears, too. It's your brain, right? Yeah, it's your kind of whole equilibrium. And your eyes are impacted because your eyes correlate to your balance and stuff like that. So just my entire head feels like a giant balloon right now.

Mm. You know, you don't have to come in. If there's not anything that we're doing that demands your physical presence and you feel sick, even if you feel sick, you don't have to come in, even if something does demand your physical presence. You can not come in. I know, I do. And it's hard because vertigo can knock you out for weeks.

And so that's why I just try and function as best as I can. And after work, I'll go home and rest. So I at least try and function through the things that I need to do and then only take off when I really am not functioning, if that makes sense. I'm trying to pick and choose when it's necessary to do that. I feel like vertigo is probably looked at like anxiety. Unless you've actually had it, you probably don't understand how significant it can be in your life.

Yeah. Because there are people like anxiety, just get over it, take some deep breaths, calm down. But unless you've actually had it for whatever reason, I don't think you can get a full understanding of it. Same thing with vertigo. Yeah. I haven't had it, so I'm trying to be open to. This really is debilitating to some people.

Like I said, two weeks out, again, I'm like, you drove, but if you can sit and drive, that actually makes sense because you're not walking. You're not having to use motor skills to walk. Yeah, and very much people do think I'm faking it a lot of the time. And I wish, gosh, I wish I did. But I don't wish vertigo on anybody. It really is debilitating. Oh, I do.

I have a few people ought to wish it on. Yeah. It's not deadly. Yeah. I mean, there's just inconvenient. Maybe it is. I'm sorry, Morgan, that sucks. That's okay.

But yeah, I promise. I won't. I believe you, by the way. Thank you. Thank you. But I promise I won't come in if it's like really bad. But again, I just, I can't be out for a month. you know, like if I'm really letting Vertigo take the entire toll.

So I really try and only be out if it's absolutely necessary. Well, do you ever tell me something good to match you? Tell me something sucked. Not really. Okay. I'm just where I am right now. 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 host of the podcast, 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 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 I-Heart Radio 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 striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell 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.

When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. Here at the Nick Dick & Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You meet the, like, the president? You think Canada has a president?

You think China has a president? The law crusade. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep.

It was a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah. It is an actual thing. 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. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real. 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. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black.

Okay, or good. Well, I'll start with the suck. Dealer's choice. Because you had said that, and not to, you know, make it worse, but you said that if Arkansas won and went to the final four, we would go. So we're not going. That was kind of crappy. Thought about that last night, watching the game.

Okay. That just suck, man. That doesn't suck something that you never get. got that you weren't expecting. But it was in my head already. It was in my head that like, oh my gosh, like we're going to go to the final four. It's kind of a joke.

Yeah. Were you really going to go? Yeah, for sure. But I didn't think we would make it. I didn't think we had the team this year to make it. But I didn't go to these other games because Portland I wouldn't have gone. That's last weekend. We just had the baby.

Oh, so final four would have been closer. Indianapolis. Oh, okay. I was thinking. What? You're going to go west coast, baby Billy? It was in San Jose. Got it.

So I wasn't going to go to that too far. I have to spend the night. we'd have gone to Indianapolis to come back that day. So I said, hey, if Arkansas goes to Final Four, I told Daddy, we'll go. I don't know that looking ahead that they have a good shot to get there this year, but we'll go. And then not only that, I said, I'm not even going to ask my wife yet because why would I get in trouble for something that may not happen? So I never even talked about it with her. Good point.

Because why would I go, hey, if they make it, I'm going to go to the Final Four. And then she's like, you're going to leave? Right. We have a newborn, and then we have that back and forth. Then we didn't even go. For no reason. It's wasted. Mark.

Yeah. Tell me something. Anyway, that was bad. But anyway, my good, though, is that today is the start of baseball season for my kids. Well, one kid. The other kids don't play baseball anymore. We made them stop. Why'd you make them stop?

Because they were doing too many sports, and I had them pick one sport to not do. Like, they were doing three sports. They were doing football, basketball, and baseball. And I said, you've got to just pick two guys. This is too much. Because some of those sports, they intertwine. And so, like, we're doing two in one week or whatever. So they chose baseball because they were bored of baseball.

But my little one loves baseball. And honestly, out of all the sports, I love going to baseball games. Getting my little chair out, my camping chair, sitting by the dugout with my seeds. Like it's a vibe and I love it. So I'm so excited that season's what? Why'd you? What? Because I said it's a vibe.

Is this lame? Is this lame? No, it's good. This is really good. I'm with it. Yeah, we're cool. You're just throwing out stuff like it's a vibe. Why does that sound so weird to you?

I don't know. Like, what's the vibe? The vibe of sitting... No, he's saying the way I said it's a vibe. But is it a vibe? Yeah, baseball season. I feel like Amy can pull that off. What, it's a vibe?

Yeah. But I didn't say anything. I just looked at her to see if she gave a reaction. I was just going to be quiet. I was more so just hoping his story was lame. Since mine was. Yeah, it was pretty bad. I was like...

I actually like your story. Thank you. I'm really excited. Well, you didn't keep fighting for it, though. Amy, like, went three rounds on hers. And here's why. I was like, shout-offs all the barbers. She brought up stats.

She's like, 17% of kids don't like going to the barbershop. She keeps going. It can be traumatizing. 1.2% have a barber-like injury in their first year. Oh, my gosh. Do you have a good one? A good story? That was my good story.

That was his kid. His kid is. Baseball stars. No, it's for me. I love baseball season. It's a vibe. Because it's a vibe. It's a vibe.

It's a vibe. Lunchbox. Tell me something sucks. Let me think of what I got that sucks in my life right now. I'm sure you can find something. I'm sure you have a hundred things. What do you mean? I mean, the world does hate me.

So, I mean, there are things that are, you know, my middle child does have a sinus infection. That sucks. So he has a lot of snot. And it's been going on for like a week and a half. Finally went to the doctor. And they're like, oh, yeah, he's got a sinus infection. No big deal.

Throw some antibiotics. So he'll be getting. better here in a few days. That kind of sucked. And then they went and saw me play soccer this week, and we got beat 7 to 2. That kind of sucked. That was embarrassing.

Oh, yeah, the kids watching their dad play and he loses. Yeah. Did you get to play? Yeah, and then they asked me why didn't score any goals, and I said, I tried. Hey, how many minutes are you getting these days? I don't know how many minutes I played. I felt pretty good for the most part when I played Wednesday,

a little tight and a little pain down below. Oh, yeah, because how do you run? Well, some days... Has legs hitting one of them. Right. He's free on the other one. Some days is better than others. And Wednesday was, I would say, 80% good,

a little bit in the second half. It started flaring up is what I would say. But yeah. You still want to play, even though you know it's going to flare up. Yes. Because, I mean, I can't do anything else. Like, I just sit around.

It's like, oh, my gosh, I just want to do something. And it gets a little bit of adrenaline out and a competitive spirit, you know, a little rage that I have built up. Are you supposed to get adrenaline out? Yeah. It's like competitive, like the juice, I guess competitive juices. But then he went rage.

That's always in there. Yeah, that we needed to play soccer then because when it manifests itself in the room, it ain't good. It's not good. I think everybody has that, that competitive rage that they need to get out. I'm not that competitive. No, you have a rage, though, that isn't always competitive. I kind of wish I was a little competitive. I'm really not.

My wife's not that competitive either. I'm just like, I don't get it. Yeah. But what's that? Like, what's, is something wrong with us? Mm-mm. I think so. Personality, right?

Last night we were talking about the baby and I was like, I can't wait for to grow up and be a complete type A personality. She's like, why would you want that? Type B's awesome. You just, nothing bothers you. You're just having fun.

It's like type A, I've seen it with you. It looks miserable. And so I think that probably the competitiveness is probably a there's probably a

correlation with type A personality I feel like I'm type B but I'm responsible type B okay I think you're a

responsible yeah that's good yeah I think that responsible type B I don't think there's a it's an insult

to be a type B I don't think so either my wife I love that she would be miserable being a type A no no I guess I was just curious if it was odd

that I'm not competitive I never thought about that being part of my type B personality but I'm I'm would say, you know, like coming to work, I always check my map or if I'm going somewhere.

I check my map. And I saw a girl post about this the other day. And I was like, oh my gosh, that's so me. Like you, you check and you see how many minutes it takes you. So then you get to like still chill, but you're like watching it. Like you still get there right at the last minute. But it's like you're being responsible about it. Did someone try to poison you last night? Yeah, something's up. I think there was something in that tea. Yeah. Did that story not make sense? Yeah, it's good. I just thought. Do you ever tell me something good lunch, box? Yeah, the Major League Baseball is back.

I love Major League Baseball and then also... Saved. Fantasy baseball. I co-manage a team with my cousin and it's a way for us to keep in touch. And so now we start talking again now that it's baseball season. Just to clarify, I'm not crazy about Major League Baseball season. We don't really confused. You didn't need to clarify.

Okay. No, I understood. Yeah, you like a chair. When you said it was opening day, I was like, well, it's been. Yeah, not that. Got it. Don't care about Major League. I'm going to have to move off the,

so I have my seasons of athletic team apparel. Usually goes from Arkansas football, to Arkansas basketball, and then I have a window here where it's mostly Cubs until it gets back to Arkansas football. So you're moving on to Cubs? For the most part, yeah, for the most part. Jersey?

Not a Jersey guy. No. Not really. Not really a Jersey guy. Scuba Steve, you want to do one? Are you there? Yes, I'm here. Yeah.

Hello. Tell me something good. Oh, okay. Good is we started our football season. I coach my kids flag football team. See? Is it a vibe? It's a vibe.

It's actually chaos because they're first and second grade. But I don't like football and I don't really know much about football. But they hired me because I'm good at like managing kids and their ADD and all that kind of stuff. Wait, you're hired? Like you're getting paid? Well, not hired, but they asked me to do it. appointed. And I have all the creative kids so they don't really care about football. And we had a scrimmage yesterday against the kids who do like football.

And the cool thing was, is they came out. They're all like, you know, the coaches care a lot because they're failed, you know, people who didn't really surpass high school. And our kids beat them in the scrimmage. So I was like, yeah, the creative kids win. This is awesome. And they're all pumped and excited. And our first game is Saturday. Yeah, good luck. Thank you. And tell me something to suck. Shaw's fired at those other coaches. Well, I can get out on the field.

For no reason. It's good. Those failures. But they care so much. And then our practice ended at a certain time. And they stayed later because we beat them. And I'm like, let those kids go home. And even my son was like, look at my friend over there.

He's tired. He can't run anymore. It's hot. And I'm like, it's just ridiculous how some coaches are with that young age group. Okay. All right. What about the suck? Yeah.

The suck. I don't really have any suck right now. My life's pretty good. And I'm pretty positive and enjoying everything. That's good for you, man. And excited about everything that's happening. So, yeah. We should end on that.

There you go. There it is. Let's tell me something good. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. You ever hear of winter, winter chicken dinner?

Yeah. Apparently, this guy stopped by a Royal Farm Store in Forest Hill for some fried chicken. And while he was there, he was going to grab a couple scratch-offs. And he won 50 bucks, which is pretty cool. And so he's like, well, let's get another one. A million bucks. Winner, winter chicken dinner. Yeah, because he got chicken too, right?

That's where it's all started. Fried chicken dinner. He says at first he thought the million dollar prize was a $1,000 prize, and he got very excited. And then he realized the real amount. He was so shocked he ran out of the store leaving his food behind. After 30 years of playing, he plans to use the winnings to pay off his mortgage and save for his kids. Listen to that.

That's from UPI. Lunchbox, big lottery player. What do you think about this? Man, that is pretty amazing. And I feel like he left his food behind. That's a bad start. He's going to go broke. But why save it for his kids?

Man, he's been putting in that work for 30 years. 30 years. Treat yourself. Go on a vacay. Get a boat, man. Do something. I think you can do both. Yeah, let's say you get $600,000 after that.

You can get you a boat for a really... You want to pay off his mortgage. Okay. But let's say he's got $200,000 left on his mortgage. He pays that. He still got $400,000. He buys... $100,000 on a boat?

A really nice boat, $100,000. So he got $300,000. Well, that boat keeps... Okay, $100,000 on upkeep of the boat. You got $200,000. And it's a slip, good point. Then he wants a beach house to go with the boat. So still, he can say 50,000 for his kids, you know?

All right, that's the story. 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. Sometimes you think to make an impact on people's lives, you have to do something big, grand, spend a lot of money.

Well, John Shaw has it figured out. For the last six years on a street corner in California, he's been out there holding up signs of encouragement. So all he needs is a marker and a poster board and he says things like love your neighbor and broken crowns still color. For six years, he's out there

with different signs that say different crowns. Yeah, for listeners that don't get that, like broken crowns still cover crayons. Broken crowns still color. Because like a crown, even if it's broken still colors.

It's saying like... That's not what we're alluding. to. It's that you say crown like a king. Where's a crown? Okay. Broken Crayolas. Okay. The brand of crayons. Still color. Yeah. I think what he's doing. That's great. My question, first of all, I liked it on the front of this. Say, I love it. Yeah. Any sort of positive encouragement, anybody out preaching the gospel, love it. That being said, do you have a job? Does he, is he retired? Well, I don't know he's out there all day every day. It's just each weekday morning, he goes out there and holds the sign. Dang, that's dedication. Before work.

messages. That's awesome. It just says for the last six years. And his name is John Shaw. I do not have his age. I do not have his occupation. Is it every day? It says each weekday morning. We're really getting in his business here. Because man, that's a lot to come up with.

I know. I'm just curious. Well, he'll even like hold up signs that pertain to a local happening. Like if there's something that happened in the news, he'll hold up an encouraging sign for that. Sometimes it's more generic. If I were advising him, if I were giving him some advice, on the corner of the sign, I'd sell ads to like the local cafe. place. Sponsored. Yeah. I mean, people honk, they wave. Some have even pulled over to share an impact that his sign made on them. Wow. Emotionally. Yeah, good. Yeah. So shout out John.

Shout out, John. That's a good story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. This is Julian Edelman, host of games with names.
