It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. I'll go first. Caitlin's parents and her grandpa came to town. I mentioned that in the regular show, but they came in on Friday afternoon. They drove in from Oklahoma and did Friday afternoon to evening all day, Saturday. Sunday morning. And the great thing is her parents obviously want to be around Billy, hold Billy, do stuff with Billy. So I was off the hook on like doing that stuff. That was nice.

Little reprieve. Yeah. Like I'd have to do bath time. I don't mind doing bad time. Heck, I like doing bad time a lot of times, but they want to do it. How about it? So that's good. Yeah. And I always like it when they're in town. I wish they lived a lot closer. But at least they live close enough that they can get in the truck and just drive over. So I think it's eight and a half, nine hours. And they love a road trip. Her dad loves a road trip. I asked him on Saturday night. I said, you dread the drive back home. He's like, no, why would I? Those some podcasts on? Just get out on the road. I hate driving. So it was really great that they weren't in town a weekend and wish they could be here more. And it was really great that her grandpa got to meet Billy because he hadn't yet because we haven't

taking her to Oklahoma yet. So that's my. You guys hit the pool? So you guys, somebody got the pool. It was either raining or way too hot. No. Oh.

You saw Caitlin's dad's Instagram and that was a picture from a couple weeks ago. Great. Yeah. Thought I had inside information. No. But I think we also posted that picture. Okay. A couple weeks ago.

Yeah. Amy. So on Friday we talked about how it had been 20 years since I've been on the show. And I got a lot of really nice DMs from listeners. And I realized after the video went up, that you would ask me how I was feeling about it. And it all felt so crazy that had been 20 years that I didn't address the feeling.

But getting the nice DMs and even my sister sent me a text like talking about when it all started back in 2005, 2006, and meeting you at Culvers and being a listener. So like that journey of being a listener and then now being on the show this long, the feeling that comes to mind is grateful. So I want to, I just in getting the DMs, from people and having some of the conversations this weekend and reflecting, I have gratitude for how it all played out and growing up on the show with y'all. I mean, thinking of all the

different stages of life that we've been through. She was 11 when I hired her. It's weird. It's weird. A lot of growing up. But we've been through like so many highs and lows, not just with each other, but with our listeners. And that was what was cool to see through some of the notes that I was receiving. So it's full of gratitude this weekend, thinking of the trajectory I was on, like, coming up to you at Culver's and being like, are you Bobby Bones and then giving you an ice cream coupon? Like, I just, I remember my Twitter bio. It probably still says this. I'm just not on there anymore. You're not on Twitter anymore? I mean, I have it, but I don't go. I don't post. No.

You even look? No. That's why I just am thinking, I assume my bio is this. Say hi to people. It could change your life because that's I said hi to Bobby and it changed everything like I who knows where I would be but it wouldn't be right here so to answer your question I'm feeling grateful our old boss Jay hit me up said hey I just texted Amy and she didn't respond I said no you texted a teenage boy yeah and he's probably going to call the cops that's the guy that's the kid who has Amy's old number so I sent him your new number. I saw I texted. Yeah, he texted too. That was one of the notes. And I thanked him for just taking a chance on me and he fired back. Ah, that was all Bobby. So can't argue. I mean,

and then he said, I did, he did say it was all Bobby. I did see what he saw though. And I'm like, I don't know that you did right away. Because you had to, you had to fight for me. So literally. Really? In an alley. He had, yeah. Oh, wow. Knives, everything? No, no. We made a rule before.

No weapons. Fists only. Just bists. Yeah. That's cool. Eddie, you? Yeah. So last night, my brother called, and usually it's like, oh, man, this is going to be a long conversation.

Like, I'll call him back whenever I have time. But yesterday I was like, you know what? I have about 30 minutes. We ended up talking for about an hour. And it was just a catch up. Like, I hadn't talked to my brother in a while. And it's just funny because the way he keeps it track of me is by watching YouTube videos. And he goes, the first thing he says, do you have high blood pressure, dude?

And you weren't going to call me? I was like, well, I was like, well, it's kind of, I told him all about the high blood pressure. And since he had a stroke, he's like, dude, you have to be careful about high blood pressure. And he's like, where are your headaches? And because, like, you know, I didn't tell him about it. He heard it on the show. He's like, dude, you got to take this serious. So you gave me a whole lecture on my salt intake and all that stuff.

So we talked for a little bit. It was good to hear from him. And he says he's got about three days of vacation. so he's going to try to come down and see me at some point or maybe go down to Texas when we're all down there. How's he doing? He's doing really good. He's doing good. He lives in Pennsylvania and we're all from Texas.

And he moved to Pennsylvania a few years ago and I don't know why. He just kind of wanted a change of scenery. And now he said, I'm kind of thinking about moving back, but nothing for sure. Just the thought is in his head. I'm like, dude, that's cool. Like, yeah, because everyone misses him. My mom's in Texas. My sister's in Texas.

And everyone's like, he's so far away in Pennsylvania. Yeah. So I don't know. That could be cool, but he's doing really well. Like his body has recovered from the stroke, which is unbelievable. He says that once in a while he still goes numb. Like the left side of his foot goes numb or the left leg goes numb a little bit. But I said for the most part, he's back. Can he be active? Yeah. He's scared of running, he says, just because if it goes numb in the middle of a run, he eats it.

But yeah, I mean, he's pretty active. It's just amazing. Like his stroke aversary, what he calls it, was two weeks ago. And it's just crazy. We talked about that. Like, just how crazy that time was when it all happened because he had a stroke. Then my dad died. And he's like, I just can't believe that I'm where I am today.

Like, and where I was two years ago. I was in a hospital, like, thinking like I couldn't move in my left side and thinking, like, is this going to be my life forever? And now he's good. So it was a good conversation. And he was talking to me how he talked to like some of his high school friends. They did a three-way phone conversation, which was interesting. He's like, I hadn't talked to these guys in forever.

And we did a three-way conversation on phone. Some guy lives in L.A. Another guy lives in Jersey. And I was like, that's cool. I need to start, like, calling my friends, old friends, college buddies, stuff like that, just to kind of see how everyone's doing. Man, when three-way calling was introduced to us, earth-shattering. Yeah.

We were young. You call two people the same time. You didn't even need to talk two people. same time. You just did it. Bobby, you there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm here. I'm here. And you click again. Yep. Got it. It works. Chris, you there? Yep. Hey, we're all on. Was this just a girl thing or did guys do it where they would call someone on three-way but they

didn't know the other person was on and so they could listen in on the conversation? Oh, that's dirty. You could do that, but you had to be so good at the execution of three-way because as soon as it started ringing, you had to hit and hold it down long enough toward connect to the other one but not hang up without there being a click and you had to beat them answering. So yeah, I guess guys did it too. But it never was to like

get the juice. Oh, ours was not nice. Oh, really? I mean, sometimes it might be able to help out a frame, like you thought I think you're helping. You're trying to like frame someone or like say talk about them. Set someone up. I'm not saying it was a common practice, but it was definitely done amongst

girls. You guys always find a way. Yep. lunchbox. Yeah, today at 2.15, my sister and her three kids land at the airport. They're coming to visit for the week. So just looking forward to that, having cousins in the house and pure chaos and just more family time. So four people coming in?

Yeah, four people. Well, yeah. Where does everybody sleep? That's a good question. I think I need to buy. My sister will sleep in the guest room and then the kids will sleep with my kids in their room. But I only have four beds in there. So I got to get two air mattresses that will fit in the room.

Because I have a queen-sized one, but now that my youngest kid has a bed, the queen mattress won't fit on the floor in there. So I got to go buy like two twin air mattresses. Air mattresses. Yeah. Are there sizes of air mattresses? Yes. Yeah. But when you're buying air mattresses to sleep on, you're not buying pool air mattresses.

These are actually in-home, like sleeping air mattresses, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Let me tell you, they have gotten real nice. Yeah. There's some that you don't even need to plug it into the wall. You just turn this little lever and bumps it up. Yeah, it's like a built-in battery.

There's one of those that we have for, the Caitlin got it at first when she was pregnant. Those, they're not medicine balls. Those air balls, big. I don't forget what they're called. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the ones you sit on or whatever. Yeah, I don't even know. But turns it up.

There's another one, a little cheaper one. You just hand pump it. Back in our day. Yeah. You have to squeeze it with your teeth a little bit. Yeah. Oh, that's terrible. Hey, I'm Ruby Carr, the host of the podcast, OnCore.

Hey, guys, I was just calling for a team Tennessee for a series. It's okay for you. Hey, hold on one second. You're like cutting out. Okay. Hey, question. Is this our phone lying, scuba? Because this happened sometimes. Now, this is the art of technology. Unfortunately, this new system that we've had for the last couple years, it's like based on like IP address and internet stuff because I've tried to get it fixed for the building. And this is, uh, this is a new system that we've tried to get it fixed for the building. and this is just the way it is, unfortunately.

Like, we had a caller. Oh, I know. We were doing gold. We were talking gold. I was trying to get information to make some money. And it was like, oh, I know. Yeah, the old school system, the tell us is much.

Can you hear me better now? Oh, there you are. Kaylee, Joe, it's not you. I'm just venting because our system is so internet-based that for a second you were chopping, but it wasn't your phone bars. So, okay, back over to Kaylee Joe. Kaylee, Joe, what's going on?

Okay, so Team Tennessee, the boys finished Division II. They were, again, undefeated in district and state champions. We went four and two in the World Series and placed fifth overall, and our boys were awarded the 2026 World Series Sportsmanship Award. Is that the team I made the video for? We all made the video for? Yes, that's why I'm calling you back.

I had to give you an update. Love it. Cool. So four and two, did they have fun? Oh, we had the best time. We even had a home run hit for you, like you said. Connor Mosley came out with the home run for it. The boys played with every bit they had.

They gave it. They're all. We made a lot of fun memory. And you know being there was an accomplishment in itself. Our goal for the boys this year was state champions. We knew they had it in them. Honestly, yeah, district dance team champions. But to be a game of a series and just to make that memory that these boys won't ever

forget was something incredible to witness. Well, that's awesome. I'm glad they had fun. Why do they get the sportsmanship award? Were they all handshakes and butt hats and the other teams weren't? Yeah. Nice. Pretty much.

All right. Yeah. That easy. Nailed it. Go out there. All right, Kayla. Joe, well, thank you very much. Tell them we say we're proud of them.

And hopefully, do they stay together as a team or do they age out? Like, what's happening with them now? majority of the boys will move up together now the next stage will be kid pitch so the majority I think we have at least 10 out of the 12 that will move up um so this crew will stay together for a long time and you'll be hearing them you'll be hearing about these boys from adams tennessee for quite a while i guarantee it all right let us know next year okay i certainly will i appreciate y'all's video so much and i wanted you to do you to know you were the grand finale in my video because you were so hype and as soon as the boys saw

it they said oh body bones they were pumped and I really appreciated you doing that for us it meant a lot you're welcome you're welcome well Kayla Joe hope you have a great week I really appreciate you calling thank you guys y'all have a good week too happy birthday lunch I think she said happy birthday lunch okay thank you thank you yeah thank you Kayla Joe it's good Steve do you I want to jump out of the building. Oh, I'll go with you. Can I hold your hand as we jump together? I just want to jump off the ledge and just drives me crazy. Oh yeah, it does. And the real answer is that we've just downgraded to save money. And so this is what we get. Downgraded at what? Well, because tell us was the old school system of the phones. I'm sure you're familiar with that. It was a stronger connection. And so this has a few variables. It's the internet, either on our end or their end is what affects the calls. And that's why sometimes they sound amazing, even better than the telos. But then there are moments like this where it sounds like that. Yeah, I just want to jump out of the building. Oh, I'm with you. It was. It was. It was a sound better if you just call them on your phone yeah like what we just don't have it's not it's not just like a normal let's just call from eddie salsa line don't know yeah my burner phone we'll just

put it on speaker yeah okay uh we're gonna go over now to a game of a celeb on the head between amy and i and so we're not going to tell you who's on our heads we'll tell you at the end though if you don't get it here but here you go this is that go ahead okay if you did not catch it amy's was Bono, and mine was Ray Romano, and people in the comments section on YouTube were very upset at two things. One, that Amy did not know Ray Romano was white, and it led me astray. Well, no, because you got clarification. No, then you said just very tan. I feel like he's tan.

So the question was like, is he white? And Amy goes, no. And you were like, eh. She said, she goes, no. Sorry, I was. No. And then you guys said to go, like, no, he's white. Right.

And then she has always very tan. And he's not even that tan. Is he not? He's Italian. He's Italian. He's Italian. He's Italian people who are sometimes tan. Anyway, it's darker features.

And where people were kind of bust in my chops was, I said Bono had short hair and he does, but they were like early in his career. He had long hair. But that's not the question. Yeah, that was like in the 80s. Yeah. When he had a ponytail. She's like, do you have long hair? And I was like, no.

And he really does. Right. And he hasn't in the last like 10 years. I looked. He doesn't. Yeah. But I didn't know. And I said, no, but I think at a point he may have.

But people are like, no, no, he had long hair in the 80s. So there's that. Yeah. But that's it. Don't worry. I cringe at the fact that I said that he wasn't white. So. I thought was funny.

I have to live with that. You do have to live with that. That's true. Thank you. Right. There you go. That's what it's all about. It's time for the good news.

With lunchbox. Tell me something good. A woman and her 100 pound dog Sable decided to go hike a mountain in Pennsylvania. They get almost to the top and the dog is in distress, needs help. So she has to call the volunteer fire department. They come up and they carry the dog four hours down to the bottom of the mountain. Oh, so they couldn't get a vehicle to the dog. Right.

And so they had to put it on a stretcher and carry it for four hours. Yeah, if I take Stanley, my bulldog on a walk, about a block that happens stretch your time yeah about a block and so then I have to carry him back about a block so now we just go about half a block and then turn around but

that's a whole different situation is this a bad I mean can I just say bad idea by the lady I don't know what kind of dog that is it's a senior dog 100 pounds and you're trying to hike it up a mountain yeah I would imagine they've done it before though if I'm just guessing

that she knows this trail and this dog has done it before and I'm looking at the dog and it looks like I don't know Kind of like a mix. What makes a dog senior? Probably over eight. Over eight. Okay.

So, like my labradoodle is over eight or nine. And I would think maybe I could take her on a hike like that. And she's about 80 pounds. Yeah. A dog is considered senior seven to eight years old. Okay. And it's a pretty large breed, obviously, like lunch was saying. I would think that she's done this similarly and nothing bad happened.

And the dog probably was just not in a good place. Yeah. I'm like an hate on her for taking her dog for a walk. That's what we're doing now. Now people are thinking dogs for walks. No, no, just too far. Up a mountain seems a lot for a hundred pound dog, man. How much you weigh?

Like 170. You go up mountains? Yeah, but I'm different. Okay. Bill different. All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. It's time for the good news.

With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. Tom McEvick is from California and he works at a senior living community. But here's the deal. He is celebrating working 50 years at this place without taking a single, sick day. I feel bad for him because you know he still went in sick sometimes. Well, yeah.

He must not have. Because you can't work at a facility like that. You're telling me he didn't get sick in 50 years. I don't think you would want to put vulnerable elderly people at risk. Well, you may not have worked with him. He may have worked in the kitchen or something. Oh, so he's managing their food.

You guys are going to make him worse and worse. I would just think 50 years, that's great. I was a big perfect attendance guy, a lot of my life. For 50 years. That's a lot of. long time without calling sick. I mean, maybe if he ever got sick occasionally, it was on the weekend when he was on. Good for him.

I just feel bad for the days he wasn't feeling good. I know. Because I'm a street guy. Yeah. You know, he's nine years into this. I can't in the street. What's his name again? His name is Tom McKeivick.

50 years on the job, never missing a day. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
