I took an app yesterday for the first time since Baby Billy was

born, like a real nap. I finished here 1230 or so or one and I didn't have anything to do until four. We were doing a bobby cast a little later. It was Luke, Brian coming over to the house. And so I went home and rode a little bit. I thought, I think I could just fall asleep. And I fell asleep for an hour, wasn't woken up by alarm. Man, that's where it's at. I'd be a much happier person if I had time to take a nap every day. And Caitlin didn't wake me up. I think she avoided waking me up. Oh. Which was very nice of her.

So first nap I had in seven months. Where do they do the siesta? Is that Spain? It's a lot of Latin. Latin countries. Because that sounds great. Built in siesta? Yeah.

I don't like that because then your workday goes till 7 or 8 p.m. Yeah, you still have to do your work. Yeah, you have to go back and finish. And dinner is not until 10 p.m. That's a good point. So give take on that. Uh-huh. So that was nice.

It felt pretty good. Even in the evening, I was kind of. refreshed. This is pretty amazing. Then I had a little trouble sleeping. So I get a gift one of those. My sleep score wasn't that good last night, but got a good nap. I think that's my whole day yesterday. You? So my daughter's computer is sort of breaking down, which is one of my old laptops that I gave her. And I was like, oh, and she's got schoolwork. So I'm like, okay, got to figure this out. So in the meantime, I found an old iPad that we have. And I couldn't get into it.

And I was trying to figure out, okay, what's the code? You know, and it kept disabling me because I would type in some of my go-to pins. Which are what? Yeah. I almost just said. Run those bias. Yeah. I've had some for years in there.

So it's like, golly. Well, I was like, oh, I was married during the time that this iPad was active. So then reached out to my ex-husband, figured some stuff out. We're in business. And so now we've got a running iPad that can. I guess till we figure out what's going on with the computer, which I'm nervous that it's going to just be kaput and we're going to maybe have to get a new one.

But I'm just glad we've got access into the iPad now. And I'm thankful for Ben remembering what it was. And I just had it like stored in a closet. That makes me nervous when I miss like three in a row. Like it's going to explode. Oh, yes. Like inspector gadget. Wait, when you miss the code.

Or it's going to lock up for like five hours. Yeah. Like sometimes if I miss my password, logging into my bank, it'll go one more time and you're done. What does that mean? Well, I used to go to the ATM way more frequently. It just don't go as much anymore. So now I struggle.

Like, I have to keep it written somewhere and I look it up. Your pin? Yeah, I can't. Look, right now, I couldn't tell you. If I was in front of an ATM, I'd be like. I don't know mine right now, but when I get there, I know it every time based on just muscle memory. So I don't know it.

Yeah, I don't know it from my brain. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, there's a few right now I would have to, like, play around with. But so it started to stress me out any time I go to the ATM. So I emailed it to myself. You know what's gotten me so bad is like not like you miss, you don't know a password, right? And then it's, you finally get the password. And it's like, great.

Your code has been your authenticity, what is it, whatever, authentication code has been sent to this phone. I'm like, that's not my phone anymore. Oh. I don't even know how to get that number. Yeah, there's a lot of steps. You have to call your bank. I do. I've messed up so many times.

It's locked me out. And I've tried to lock. And I look at my bank accounts like three times a day. And I change my passwords a lot. And so it'll go one more time and we're going to lock you out. And he goes, your page has been locked. So I have to call the bank. Tail between my legs.

Hey, it's me. I promise. When you go and look, like, what are you looking for? Make sure I've been scammed. Make sure there's, I have like two accounts that are connected to the ability to be scammed. Okay. And then a credit card account, which I don't worry about that as much getting scammed because if it does, I can always just get that back. You just file a complaint and they give your money back.

But I have two debity type accounts that I worry about where the money's coming out of that. And then also I have investment accounts. I just want to see what it's done in the market that day because they go up and down. Well, yeah, those change by the hour. I get like checking that sort of stuff. But I didn't know your other accounts. I'm like, make sure it's all there. Is this what we're doing wrong, guys?

Did we be checking our accounts for? I don't get that's the problem. I'm just scam-proofing. And not multiple times a day. Oh, I'm three times a day. Yeah. I'm scam-proofing, and then I'm just watching to see where the markets have taken some of my investment accounts. That's it.

I keep it in my phone, too, certain parts of it, just to see the baseline from that month. Also, I used to weigh myself three times a day. Anything I'm caring about, I do over and over again just to see progress. I did wear myself yesterday for the first time, probably four months. Just because there was a scale there, I have no need to weigh myself right now because I feel good, and I'm not doing anything full body on camera, so don't care. As long as my clothes fit and I feel healthy, I'm good. But I did weigh myself as 165 yesterday, which is about where I need to be.

That's good. Yeah, so I was like, man, nice job, dude. Dude, I'm really heavy right now. How do you know? Either the five scales that I've tried are broken or... They definitely could be. You have five? You know the rule.

Do six. Yeah. Where have you encountered five scale? So the first one was the doctor's office, and I was like, that's high. That can be right. And then the other one's the gym. And then I have one at home. And I'm like, they're all saying 190.

And I'm like, I've never been one 90 in my life, ever. Are you close? Fitting tighter? A little bit, but I mean, not overly tight. Just a little tighter than normal. What are you going to do about it? I mean, I'm working on it. Change his life.

But you're not working on it. You say that to everything. Last night I ate chicken breast and sweet potatoes. But do you understand you say you're working on everything we possibly say, and you go, I'm working on it. Yeah. But sometimes, like, I don't tell you guys the result. But I worked on stuff.

And then sometimes I have a result. but I don't share that with you guys. But why wouldn't you, whenever you say you work on so many things and we question you, why would you not come in and give us their answers? That way we'd stop busting your ball so much. So maybe I come in like a month and be like, guys, I'm at 160. Well, no, not just your weight. I'm just saying in general, you've got the reputation as someone who doesn't really follow through.

But if you are secretly following through, let us know so you don't have that reputation anymore. Okay. Yeah, what about those squats? How are they coming? Good. I did squats yesterday. Yesterday was leg day. Yes, I did squats, lunges, all that.

And how many times have you done that? past month? A month? Five or six. Well, that's a lot. Yeah, five or six times. If you're doing legs one time a week, I would subtract half of that. I agree. No, no, no, no, you got to believe me. No, no, no. Because here's the thing. When you did your testosterone test, you said, oh, I'm going to change my life.

I'm going to eat different. I'm going to work out. I'm going to do this. And you're your heaviest ever. And then two weeks ago, you were saying you haven't even working out. Well, that's not true because I think some of it could be muscle, you know, muscle weight. From what? Working out, bro. You just said two weeks ago you weren't working out, and all the sudden you've been working out all this time.

You did say that. Yeah. I don't know. I don't feel fat. You know what I mean? Like, I don't feel soft, really. I feel like, I just couldn't believe the numbers when they came in. 190?

That's heavy. Okay, for you, maybe. I've never been one. I think the heaviest ever been was like 180. I'm not shaming you on the number. Oh, it's because he's yoked. I'm not saying that. Just some muscle does weigh more than fat.

What if I'm getting muscle down there, guys? Down the abs, the legs. The squats, Amy, legs. Got it. I think I was talking about it. Well, it went a little weird. I never heard anybody say down there. We were talking about my legs, the squats.

But you said two weeks ago you weren't working out. So you think that the muscle has developed in two weeks? Possibly. I don't know, guys. Just feel healthy. It's all the matters. I have my appointment coming up. Like in two weeks.

You better really start working now. It's kind of why I'm buckling down a little bit. So for like the blood work, I guess? Yeah, the blood work. Two weeks, the lab. I'm nervous. Because if it comes back where the testosterone is still low. It's going to be.

You haven't done enough to change it. I'm going to have to do yams or whatever. A ham pellet. But good. You had DMs for dinner last night, so that's good. Yeah, sweet potatoes. Why not just do like TRT? What's that?

You're not going to have any kids, any more kids. Testosterone replacement therapy. That's scary. It scares me, man. That chemical testosterone stuff scares me. You probably put so many chemicals in your body. The Cheetos. They're working negatively against you. The beer, the wine.

You're just choosing. What is that? Like an injection? Like a... That's a good point. Like into your leg or what? I don't know. I've never taken it.

Down there? I have a lot of friends that have taken it. Or I have a few friends that have taken it. I never have because once you do that, you can't have kids. And this is pretty Billy. I even looked it up. And I was like, oh, I can't. because if I do that, then I can't have a kid.

That can be a good selling point for me then. Well, I just secretly do it. A prescription medical treatment that delivers synthetic testosterone directly into the body to restore hormone levels in men with clinically low testosterone. It is injected into a muscle or under the skin. It's given anywhere from once a week to once every few weeks or months, depending on the specific type of testosterone you want. And mostly it's just to get it back normal.

And then once it's normal, I mean, you still have to keep doing it, right? Yeah, because it's fake. Synthetic. That's the key word I heard you say. You have to keep doing allergy medicine too. I don't do. Oh, I do Zyrtec. Yeah. Yeah. So when you think, well, I don't know if I can do something regularly to make myself healthier, you do that already. Yeah. And once a month isn't crazy. Once a week isn't even that hard. Then we've got to look at price. How expensive is that?

That's absolutely a factor. We're cheering for you, man. Thank you. Absolutely a factor. What were we talking about? I got into my iPad. It's, uh, 20 bucks a month. month up to at the most 100 a month. Oh, that's not bad. 20's good. I like 20. 20 a month. That's perfect. That's the kind you get from Waffle House.

Oh, no. I don't know. I really don't know. You could also get a yam pellet every four months. How much is that? I don't really know. That also feels a little too organic for me. The plant-based testosterone? That's what I love. The organic. I would want it to work hard and fast. Get me to the place. My blood work shows that my testosterone's up. I hear you.

And for you, that's great. Yeah. I would just go, okay, if I'm going to do this, like, redline me. I don't know because I go to my OB. Oh, and it's covered in that. And then, yeah, I don't know how much my, I don't know. Yeah. Or maybe she just sends me a bill and then I pay it.

But I'm also getting other things done. So I can ask, though. My dog had that thing on its ear. And so Dr. Jesse came in, like, let all the blood of it out, the hematobin, I believe what it's called. And so it's developed again. Sometimes it just fills back up with blood. And so she's coming back today at 1230 to, again, remove the blood from it. But now she has to put basically a pump in his ear and then wrap his head. Oh, yeah. I can't do surgery with him right now. He's had over 10 surgeries. He's also over eight years old and Bulldogs are really old at eight years old. And so I don't

want to put them under because that's a real risk with anything old. So no anesthesia, but she's like, it's going to be draining for three or four days. There could be like liquid everywhere. So now we got to keep him in his room. Liquid as in blood. Blood and plus. Yikes. He's got to wear a drain on his head. Damn, poor guy. It's constant with him. It has been constant his whole life. Okay. Good job on that iPad, though. Congrats. Ren. Eddie? My son, my oldest, has successfully applied for his first college application. Send it off yesterday.

Like, it's pretty crazy. Did you do it with him? His mom did it with him. What did it consist of? What is a college application like these days? So you have like all these things you fill out, all your personal information. Do you know? I felt the same way, Amy.

When he started talking about it, I felt the same way you did. He goes, oh, his mom did it. And then you ask him what it consists of. And he's like, well, there's questions. I thought maybe he looked at it. You send your name. Then Amy and I both went, he has no idea. Which is fine.

Did you look at it? Yes or not. Yes, I looked at it. Personal information. And then he had to fill out reasons why he wants to go there. Like an essay? Kind of, but it was only like, you know, a few sentences. And then optional he could shoot a video explaining why I want to.

Hopefully he took an option. He did do that. Great. And I got him the clothes. I'm like, wear this. Do your hair like that. Mention these things. It just sounded like you didn't know what you were talking about when you started

and that's on us for laughing. Hey, hand out, I messed up. I should have done that. I apologize. I'll be honest, too. I don't know about the personal information. I just figured you got to do that. We're all coming clean now.

Okay, got it. But yes, all the essays, the question stuff, the video, all that was part of it, transcripts, stuff like that. So, yeah, man, it's pretty crazy that he's actually looking at colleges because he was the one that was like, dude, you've got to get your grades right or else you're never going to go to college. And his grades have been really good for the last couple years. And he has options

Was he just bored? No, I think his problem was there was too much going on in school, like social life, where he was just like I love the social life more than I like school. And so he's homeschooled. He's been homeschooled for the last couple years. And so he has no distractions. He works all the way to like one o'clock, solid, just him. He's got his own, what do you call that curriculum? And he follows it.

Sometimes he gets ahead, takes Fridays off. he loves it like he loves working at his own pace which i never just realized how good that would be for someone like him how does he feel though about going back to a traditional classroom setting he's a little nervous because you want to talk about social life colleges where it really explains where you have like full autonomy i know i mean luckily he kind of knows what he wants to do and his passion really is like movies like he really wants to be a filmmaker and so anything that kind of gets them towards anything that can get him closer to being a film he's excited about.

And I think that with that in mind, he won't be so sidetracked by social stuff because he loves that so much. Do you want him to go close or far? Man, I'm kind of 50-50 on that. You can see the benefits of both? Because I want him to go far to experience that. I don't want him in town

where he can just come home for dinner every day because he would. He's such a homebody that he would be here every weekend. And I want him to go away and go experience that and like have a weekend to himself. You decide what to do this weekend. Don't put it on us.

And so I'm like half and half because I'm definitely going to miss him if he does go out of town. Also, if it's in town, he may come home during the week and do laundry at home. But then also he's not far away and that's good. I've talked to some other dads that deal with that where like their kid goes to college here and they're like, oh, we have a rule, man. You can't come home during the week at all. Like you're not allowed. Sometimes they do, but they kind of make it where like, dude, and do your college life. You want to come on the weekends? You can.

How far was your college from your house? Growing up? Well, when you first moved off. Two hours, door to door. That's good. That's just long enough. Yeah. I liked that it was far enough away to where I was away, but close enough to where if I wanted to come home on the weekend, it was no problem.

Yeah. And I would. You would? Yeah, there were times where it was to be like, oh, you know what? I'm going to go home this weekend. I was about an hour and a half. I never went home. I don't have anymore to stay.

I slept on a couch. I don't have a bedroom. I had a dorm. And that was really amazing. Like I had a bed. So I guess if I ever went home, it was just a like a brief swing by or something. Because it wasn't like I was going to do laundry or eat food or I don't have anywhere to stay at home. It had been cool to go farther, but I couldn't.

I was working. Like I was already in my career then. So I had to stay pretty close. But yeah, I told Billy, like when she goes to University of Arkansas. When she does. Yeah, that's, you know, nine hours. That's just long enough. Uh-huh.

That was me, eight, nine hours. Wow. It was that far away? It was that far away? It was north of Texas. Yeah, dude, from all the way down to... Sam Houston State? Yes.

I always thought it was kind of close. So, like, from McCallon to Houston was about seven-hour drive. It's that far? Yeah, man. I didn't realize that. Wow. And so, yeah, so one hour north of Houston. But I wanted that.

Like, dude, I wanted to get out of my house so bad. Like, that was a goal for me. Like, I want to just go and experience stuff all by. myself, make my own decisions. So like, I pick somewhere far in the state. Did you almost go near your house? I did for the first year and a half after I graduated. I went, I lived at home and like took classes at the school down there. Every case has a story. Every victim has a voice, but will it be heard? I mean, it's he grace.

In February of 2024, celebrated illustrator and children's book,

author, Petra Mather's and her husband Michael, nailed letters to dozens of friends and family members to let them know that they had died by suicide. By the time you get this letter, both Petra and I will be dead. Next stop, Wonderland. Patra and Michael were by all accounts healthy, happy, and in love. Why did they do it? And what did it do to the people they left behind? I would have given a million reasons to not leave this world had I known.

I keep coming back to, I truly hope that Petra was a thousand percent on board with the plan. Do you think of him as having killed her? Yes, I do. I hold Michael responsible from my mother's staff. I'm Leon Nafok. And I'm Alice Gregory. Together we set out to interview everyone who got one of Patriot and Michael's letters, as one married couple trying to understand another.

On this show, I'll be talking to top researchers and top clinicians, asking them your burning questions and bringing that information about women's health and midlife directly to you. A hundred percent of women go through menopause. It can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it? The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget things. They're concerned that, one, they have dementia. And the other one is, do I have ADHD?

There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids, to sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood, and also to have better day-to-day life. Listen to Decoding Women's Health with Dr. Elizabeth Pointer on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're listening now. From McGowan. to Sam Houston State University right now, seven hours. Yeah.

They probably built tolls and stuff since then. It's your days. Highways. Yeah, yeah. I'm shocked it was that far. I know. Sometimes I'm shocked at how big Texas or how tall California is. Because a friend was, they live in San Francisco and they were down in Los Angeles.

I was like, do you guys just drive or fly? And they're like, no, I don't know. That's so far. I was like, well, you just didn't drive, hop down the street? Yeah. You're in the same state. We can get over to Memphis and, you're like, you're in the same state. 245 or so from here.

No problem. Oh, that's exciting. Well, I know thanks for being honest about it, but it's exciting now that the next chapter of his life is happening. I know. And he did take his ACT for the second time. We're waiting on those results. He felt way better on the second time for sure.

Does he need a certain score? Yeah. For the schools that he's looking at, yes. How far is it from the score that he has? Because that first score is never going to be great. He's not far. He's not far from the score that he needs, but he said he tried his hardest the first time,

and that's kind of what worried him. I don't know if I can do better than that. But when he came back from the second test, he was like, oh, yeah, I feel way better about this one. Just taking it and having the understanding of what's going to happen helps so much. That's why I tell my niece, you take this thing five times. To where you're walking in the fifth time, you're like, oh, I've done this.

I'm bored with even getting here. I know what to do, give me the pencil. Let's get started. I've also been taught recently that now they take, from all of your tests, because there are different areas, right? There's math. There's English. There's whatever.

You can take your highest from all them and it goes into one. Oh, that's cool. I didn't know that. Yeah, so if you score a 24 overall, but you have a 21 in English, well, your next time you take it, let's say you only score higher in your English. You can use that English score now on your overall. I may not be explaining that properly, but did that make sense at all? Yeah, I get it.

That didn't happen when. Also, it's been a hundred years since I've taken mine. But it was, you got it in a big tall envelope. But I took mine the first time in seventh grade, and I was so nervous in seventh grade to open it. But you got the big envelope, and you're like, oh, my God, I want to look in here. And you pull it up. Now it's probably online. You can probably log on and see it.

Man, who was guiding you through this process? Because, like. Nobody. But how did you even have the idea of, like, oh, I've got to take the SAT? I've got to take the ACT. I never took the SAT. But, like, school? Like, did they say, like, hey, he's like, how would you go take it in seventh grade?

I was in gifted and talented all the way through school, and I was on the quiz bowl team. And I was, like, in seventh grade, I was a captain of the 12th grade team. So I just had people that I knew that were taking it in, like, ninth and tenth grade. And I would see them taking it early. And I remember asking, can I take it in the seventh grade? I said, you can take it whenever you want because you got to pay for it. Yeah. And so I took it and, yeah, took it in seventh grade.

Got 23 in seventh grade. You took it once? No, I took it many times later I took it again in ninth grade Once in 10th I start taking the ACT prep classes as well in 11th Crushed it my 11th and 12th grade years Oh it crushed it for me

I kind of hit my peak What do you see there Mike? The ACT Super score Combined your highest section scores Through the multiple test dates To create a single higher composite score That's nice That's legit and that's everywhere Mike?

It just says the ACT general Okay. Yeah. Good luck to him. Yeah, we're excited. And I mean, dude, I think about me. Like, no one, my parents didn't go to college. So, like, no one in my family said, hey, you're a junior now.

You should probably be looking at colleges. So when I became a senior and I remember all my friends being like, I just got accepted to Texas, I'm like, how did you do that? Like, how did you get accepted? Did you guys have a counselor that was telling you stuff? Yeah, barely. But you had to, like, chase that. Yeah.

You did? Yeah. Like I remember them talking about a counselor. If you have any interest, talk to this counselor. But like, no one ever did that. No one went. I'm trying to think I can't remember. I wish I would have somebody guide me to be like, yeah, you should apply to multiple universities, not just one.

Is that what you did? One? Yeah, just one. Because I was like, well, that's where my sister went. So that's where I'm going to go. What you got in? I didn't get in. Oh.

No, not a first. Not my first year. She went out near a college station. So then I went to Blin. Do you know a lot of people do that here at Tennessee? If they want to go to Tennessee and they can't get in, they go to the junior college right next to it that's in Knoxville. And then if you finish a certain amount of credits there, you automatically can get into Tennessee. So they go live there in the city, go there,

and then automatically get the bump in. My wasn't automatic, but my motivation was, I was so, my ego, I think everything in me was so like, oh, this can't happen. I can't believe I didn't get in. So I was so driven and I locked in. Miss print? You think it was misprint when you got the letter? Did you get a letter? I guess. You don't remember opening and being crushed? I don't, honestly, I don't think I was that surprised. But I just thought, well, dang.

And then I had other friends going to Blin too. So it worked out and we all lived together. And then I had friends at A&M. So it felt like we still went there. Did you feel like you were minimized whenever you would talk to people from A&M, but you were in the same town going to Blin? And they'd be like, no, if I ever felt that, I think it was internal.

I think I was projecting that upon myself. Like, if I picked up on that, I thought, I don't think they're actually really judging me. I think I'm judging me. Because certainly my friends that I hung out with, they didn't. They got it. And then all my roommates, we were in the Zat. I lived with four of us girls. And we all had an apartment.

And all four of us were at Blend trying to get into A&M. So that helped feel very normal. So it's very common that people did that. Uh-huh. Yeah. Thankfully, I was able to meet these other girls. And then one of them, though, one of them, she would lie and say she went to A&M. Nice.

Yeah, that's insecurity. Yeah. I get it. But it caught, like, we didn't know. I mean, to like her family. Oh. Oh. That's her.

She probably lied to her parents. I mean, it was a whole thing, like, to where I was like, well, I hope when they come busy, you don't expect. You don't expect us to be like, you've got to go to campus. the big one. So that was a little bit. It's like Ray whenever Ray's parents would come and he would get his buddy's house. He put his diploma on the wall. He didn't want them to see he was living in lunchbox and squalor.

I don't think that's as serious. As the college lying. What you say? I don't think that's as serious as the college lying. But sure. Yeah, like I was like, how many people think you go to A&M? Hold on. But Ray, like, dude, you walked your parents to that room that wasn't yours, right?

I'm like, this is my room? That was just more. to create the image that I wasn't That's a lie Well you said it's create the image That means a lie Yeah but I wasn't like Hey

I'm going to an entirely different school For four years This was a But I live in a whole different house Not that I would I mean I could have just been there For a week or two And he staged it with like hats on the dresser

Yeah Pictures Yeah Yeah That's awesome But I will say Yeah when your ego is a little damaged And you're motivated

I left Blin with a 3.9 and got in straight away so then my sophomore year and then I went through rush so I didn't that's when I rushed a sorority

and there were... So you only went one year to blend? Mm-hmm. My freshman year and then by sophomore year I was at A&M and I became a Kappa and then I was just a year

and it helped too because when I was going through rush like some of my girlfriends from high school that rushed freshman year then they were sophomores in that sorority and they were like

oh yeah we went to high school with Amy because rushing as a sophomore can feel a little weird too because most people are doing it as a freshman. But I felt like then I had people already in. So they were able to help get me in. Is it an automatic in if you have a certain grade point

at the junior college in the town? I don't know. I don't remember. I just know that I said, what do I need to do exactly to get in? And the counselors at Blinn are obviously used to working with everybody. That's everybody's goal is to try to go to A&M over to everybody that I knew there.

So I just did everything that council. told me, like, whatever I needed to take, whatever my grades needed to be. And 3.9, that's the highest GPA I've ever had. Because once I got in A&M, the lock-in sort of stopped. Being locked in. Being locked in. I think it meant like a church lock-in. Are you on a lock-ins overnight? No, but I'm like, dang, I wish that whatever, however my brain works, you know, I wish it was motivated like that all the time, but it was out of shame. Yeah, it was motivated out of, if you don't, you fail. Yeah.

I didn't like how it felt not getting in and I had to prove it to myself and other people. And then I got in and I was like, okay. And then she didn't graduate. Oh, that's the end. So bad. Well, I did. Eventually, yeah, from Texas Tech. No.

My diploma is from Texas A&M. Yeah, but did you graduate from there? Yes. But where did you finish? No, I took three out. Where did you finish that? Bobby, you're acting as if plenty of people take three hours elsewhere and it still applies towards their diploma.

I know, where was those three hours? Texas Tech. Oh, so you're last three hours. No, no, no. She's a Red Raider. No, actually. She's a Red Raider. She's a Died and True Red Raider.

Actually, guns up, Amy. Woo. I'm in North Carolina something because that's where I took my last three hours. Tar Hill? I didn't. I didn't. Wait. No, remember?

Carolina Blue. Wait. I was taking a three hour correspondence. I was at A&M, my senior year, taking a three-hour correspondence class at Texas Tech in addition to however many hours I had at But it was corresponded. You're an A&M person.

I'm just giving you a hard time. Yeah. You can claim like 10 schools at this point. Alabama. Alabama. And Auburn and Texas A&M and you finish a Texas Tech and you Carolina. My husband's true into tech. There you go.

There's just a little. You got a national championship always somewhere. Then your boyfriend for a while was Tennessee. So you were involved in Auburn. Auburn. He was Auburn and New VA. Virginia. Virginia.

But we went to a Tennessee game once. You went to a Virginia game too. I did go to a Virginia. game because that's his school. You're in with all those schools. Auburn was just what he was raised. UBA's where he went. Yeah. There you go. I really liked UVA. Code of many colors. Take it, Amy.

Take what? You're good. That's just your story. Yeah, lots of, but my diploma says A&M. I know. I was just giving you a hard time. We don't need to get into all the details, but what do you mean? We just did. Does your diploma. We got into every detail right there. Okay, but not all of them. There's more? Yes, we got into all the details.

I didn't say how I didn't finish at Texas Tech. And then in 2008, I had to confess to y'all on air. Yeah, she told us on the show that she never finished. Yeah, I'm like, hey, guys, I didn't finish. But I'm enrolled in a class at some school in North Carolina. And I'm finishing my three hours. And my advisor at A&M says it will count. And then they mailed me my diploma.

And my diploma says 2008. But you did walk without finishing. They handed me an empty tube. Wow. I didn't realize that Texas. Texas Tech was where you didn't finish the correspondence. I thought that's where you took the correspondence that got you the degree. No, I was an unconventional student and I went in as an adult, adult adult to college classes.

They labeled you three adults? No, but how? Okay. Lunchbox yours? Yeah, I was just popping around on the internet last night and I went to people.com and there's a story that DJ Pauli D. was performing in Vegas and he stopped his set, brought his girlfriend up on stage, and he proposed. After six years of dating, he met her on his dating show, second shot at love on MTV. They've been dating six years and they're getting hitched. And I was like, man, that's so cool.

DJ Polly D. Has he not been married? No, never been married. And that was, that moved you so much that's your personal tell me something else. Yeah, I was excited for Polly D. Okay. Have you ever met him? You would know if you had. No. Okay. Have you ever met him? DJ Pauly D. No. He knows. I mean, He had to think about it. I don't even know what it is. I mean, he did perform at our I Heart Festival one time. That counts. But you didn't meet him.

I didn't meet him, though. I snuck by him and took a picture like, why is performing. So maybe he met him. Him and Diddy have been long friends for the same reason. Me and Diddy. Yeah, me and Diddy. Because he would claim him and Diddy were friends for the same reason. And you know what's crazy about Diddy?

Well, I do a lot. I do. I do. Yes, but what do you have? But when I met him at the I heart festival. No butts. And he was like, love, love, love. This before or after the after party?

The white party. No, no, this is what I'm saying. Yeah. What if you had been like, dude, we need to invite this guy to a party. I'd have been like, oh, yeah, let's go. Oh, let's go with ditty. I'm about to have the top. What is going on?

You'd have been a baby oil boy, for sure. I mean, that's just crazy. Then I was that close to being at one of those parties. Yep, yep. You're almost there. All right, good job, everybody. Eddie, that's really cool. Yeah, thank you, man.

Hello. What about mine? You're on lunch, I saw a story on the internet. but I'm saying edits was pretty cool because this is like life mine wasn't that cool Amy's is whatever

but the life story that Amy gave us was great oh yeah no she didn't want to do the detail but we literally went through every detail meticulously I didn't finish the detail we were asking you about it

you aren't and my 2003 Aggie ring is still missing we might as well throw that out there in case anybody finds it and it's not real you should have got a 2008 no

you graduated 2008 you're issued the you're graduating year and what does your diploma say Okay, here. Lunchbox, what you're missing is if you're at A&M and you're there long enough to get your ring, you get the ring.

Plenty of people could have left and not graduated, but they still have a ring. It's another detail, guys. We just got another detail. Wait, you don't get the ring for graduating? No, you get it like the year before and you get to wear it your senior year. And you dunk it.

And then you dunk it in beer and you chug the picture. Now, I know that. And if you don't drink, you do it in ice cream. Too many details. I now have overflowed in details. So I'm going to wrap this up here. I can't even do ice cream. I wouldn't do beer and I can't do ice cream.

You could do almond milk ice cream. Gross. I'd quit school. Okay, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good.

These two twin brothers at 12 years old made a promise to each other they were going to make their community better. So identical twins, they're now both doctors at this hospital in Richmond, not far from the neighborhood. in which they grew up. And they did not have money. Growing up, they did not have running water, sometimes not enough food. They had a bad experience with a doctor. And so they thought, well,

we're just going to be doctors ourselves to make sure that people that don't have resources don't get that lack of resources. And so they graduate from high school, co-valedictorians. Hey, good for the school for doing that. They're twins. So you know what?

We can do co-validatorians. Right. Yeah. They went to Stanford, University of Chicago Medical School, And earlier this year, they became co-directors of the emergency department at this hospital near their hometown. And so full circle, they're back in their hometown making sure people get the care they need. That's cool. That's pretty cool.

Travon and Travis Jasper. Big shout out to you guys. That's from CBS News. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the good news. With Lunchbox. Yeah, home is something good.

Back in 1945, Paul Little was a junior in high school. and he dropped out, went to work in the farming industry, he started making money, and all these years later, he still hadn't graduated from high school. But he's donated money to scholarships, help people graduate high school. And so at 98 years old,

his former high school surprised him with his high school diploma. Dang. In the nursing home. Oh, dang. Love that. That'd be cool for the wall. Yeah.

Oh, for sure. Here's my thing. Why, you got to have a thing? He didn't ever do the work. Honorary diploma. Yeah, he did a lot of other work. It's an honorary means. No, no, they didn't say honorary.

They said they gave him his high school diploma. You know what? I don't give a crap. He's 98 years old. Who cares? Give him a doctorate. Yeah. Yeah, you don't need a thing on that one.

Maybe it's still happened for lunchbox when he's in a nursing home. But he's got to do something. I know, but UTSA might be like, okay, let's give him his college diploma. He's three hours short of his degree. Yeah. Let's go to the nursing home and give him a degree. And then somebody should stop and be. Let me, hold on second.

He didn't do the work. Hey, my question. There's a problem. I should never be in a nursing home. Well, you might. How are you going to control that? I got three kids, and if they put me in there, they'll be, eh-uh. Never know.

Okay. All right, there you go. Good job from that school. I like that. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. If anyone wanted to commit a murder, up here would be the greatest place in the world to hide the body. But someone will find it.

He acted friendly. He talked friendly. He sounded friendly. They all knew that I did the scary boogie stuff, and I said, maybe she'll find out where this girl is. I saw him violent. Backhanded her, pow! Listen to the Devil's Quarry Season 2 in the Bone Valley Feed
