This isn't a normal podcast. Everything here is spontaneous, real and genuine, just honest conversations about what it means to be alive. I'm Javier El Chicharito Hernandez and listen to Learning to Be Human on IHard Radio, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:20 It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. Around the room. You want to go first? Sure. I don't know you're looking for papers. I didn't know if you were trying to find yours. No.
Starting point is 00:02:33 I got it in the dome. I get it. Okay, so just more proud of myself because years back, I was a huge hot lemon water in the morning before anything else person. Like, I went years and years and years. In fact, it was one of the highlights of my marriage, actually.
Starting point is 00:02:52 That was a highlight? Did you drink hot water? It was one of my, one of the highlights. It was one way that my husband at the time was very thoughtful is he would always bring me my hot lemon water because we would wake up so early for the show and he would wake up too. I mean, this is, I'm talking way back in the day and he would bring me my hot lemon water. lemon water. And it was so nice, but also that helped me be consistent with it. And I just loved
Starting point is 00:03:20 starting my morning that way. And then for several years, I got off of it. And I was waiting. I didn't want to speak too soon. I know that y'all don't care about this at all. But I have gone a full week with hot lemon water, including when we were traveling. I took lemons with me. That way, I had them in my hotel room. And I would have my hot lemon water even when we were in Austin. And what's that do for you? Well, let's Google the benefits. Well, I bet inflammation, right? Benefits of hot lemon water.
Starting point is 00:03:51 I mean, of course I know them, but right now you're out. Of course, of course you know them, but look it up and tell us. I love to just read, so I don't mislead you. If you drink hot lemon water in the morning at AIDS and hydration, that's just drinking water. Stop. Boost vitamin C intake. That's the water part.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Stimulates digestion. Water. And helps prevent kids. kidney stones. Which fun fact. I have a kidney stone. That ain't fun. Well, it hasn't passed. When it passes, it's painful. If I can just keep it, keep it at bay, keep it at home in my kidney or wherever it is, just live in its best life. Settlement. Yeah, so I just feel better in the morning after I have it. And maybe it's mental and placebo. I don't care, but I like it. Stupid question. Yeah. With the kidney stone.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Is it harder for men than women because you guys have a bigger vaginal hole and we have a smaller penal hole? Don't be done. I don't know. That I would also need to Google. What? That's probably accurate. Stop. Is it more?
Starting point is 00:04:56 We've been through this. The hole isn't the vaginal hole. We have three different holes down there. Okay. Well, I didn't know what hole it came out of. I just didn't know. I don't either. Like erythra.
Starting point is 00:05:05 But below our waist, we have two holes. Correct. A tiny one and a bigger one. It's not necessarily. physically harder for women to pass kidney stones based on anatomy, but women face unique challenges, just infections, not just, but infections. Men, it looks like it's more difficult for men.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Yes, it's more painful for men. And it's anatomical, and probably also y'all aren't used to pain. But it's not because their hole is bigger than ours. No, it says anatomical, which would mean the smaller hole. Men have a harder time passing them due to a more complex, Eurethra, which is It's longer. You have a longer
Starting point is 00:05:48 urethor so therefore it has to go through it for longer. Yes, it hurts because it's in there longer. Women is only four centimeters. You stop. You didn't know that. No, I'm reading. I asked a question. Of course I didn't know that, but I thought. But you called it a vaginal hole, which is that's a different hole. Okay, but you didn't know that. You just said it was
Starting point is 00:06:04 not the same. Yeah, we both, they come out of the urethras. Right, but it's not the hole. It does come out of the hole, but the hole is has a longer path to get to the hole. so it hurts all the way down the hole. Okay, but you didn't say longer. You said bigger. Okay, you were...
Starting point is 00:06:19 Whatever, dude. You didn't know what libido was. Eddie, you're like so happy. Eddie's low tea makes him an expert in vaginas now. That's not funny. No. Yeah. It's not funny.
Starting point is 00:06:31 But the urethra is the urethro. We both have it, right? Like men have it. Yeah, that's what you use to pee. Right, which is not a vaginal hole. The women's urethra is much smaller than the man. It is? It's like narrower? No, shorter.
Starting point is 00:06:46 It's shorter. It doesn't hurt as bad. Bobby just said, men, 20 centimeters. You got to go through that little hold that long. It's much smaller. Does that depend on how big? Yeah. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Well, I don't know. Stop. Don't. Don't. Hey, maybe that's why I'm saying like, you know, same. Yeah. Anyway. Oh, whatever.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Yeah. So I think I'm back on it. Like, I think it's my new thing. I don't have a husband to make it for me, but... Even if it's a placebo, who cares? If it works, it works. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, placebo works.
Starting point is 00:07:22 That's what... Remember you told us to... That there was some study or article or... And this was a while back, but you take your... Give yourself a little sugar pill or skittal, but tell yourself right before a bed, this is going to help me sleep.
Starting point is 00:07:37 My wife would be like... You have to believe it, though. That's what I'm saying. Like just get yourself. Even, here's what I say. Put it in a prescription bottle. Like the leftover from something. No, no.
Starting point is 00:07:50 No. Just give yourself. Let me get my skittles. Hold on. Pull it out. You don't have to chew it. Just swallow it. Men have a harder time passing kidney stones due to a much more complex eurythera.
Starting point is 00:08:04 The women's is way less complex because they're less to go through. The men's is way more complex and more painful because it says 20. 20 centimeters for men, but I mean, I'm probably 40. Oh, and so also, the only reason. I know it's in there is I had. Long way to travel. My nickname in college was urethra. The kidney stone's like, gosh, it's taking forever.
Starting point is 00:08:28 It just goes back home. Oh, screw this, man. We're never going to get there. I had the body scan, that craft body scan that I got, and that's one of the things that have revealed to me. It was like a kidney stone just chilling. How do you get a kidney stone? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Probably a lot of reasons. I would think diet would probably be a significant reason. I know that if you get dehydrated, it's more likely to pass. So I need to stay hydrated so that my kidney stays home. You want it to stay in your urine becomes oversaturated of minerals and salts, which could be from a lot of stuff like a bad diet too. and so if you don't drink enough water if you're dehydrated you can get them
Starting point is 00:09:14 it's the most common cause then it's like proteins foods high oxalate foods I don't know what that is but spinach rubarb nuts and chocolate some people are sensitive yeah it's sensitive to that medical conditions like obesity which so a lot of things basically it all goes to the same thing
Starting point is 00:09:31 water sleep diet they can zap it right or you can have a skittle it gets rid of it immediately Maybe I just start swallowing skittles and I'd be like this is getting rid of my kidney stone If you're just swallowing skittles
Starting point is 00:09:44 With no chewing though either I think that Or whatever That probably comes out your rethink It gets confused and doesn't know I'm using Skittles example You could do a nerd Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:54 Kenny stones can be zapped Using a non-avasive procedure called electrocorporeal shockwave Really? And that kind of just Crumbles them up that way Oh it dissolves And then High energy shock waves
Starting point is 00:10:07 Well You can look into that I could look into that I suppose All right well Good on your water Hot lemon water A couple here
Starting point is 00:10:17 You got my last banana this morning Although that's getting a little black I don't like my banana Start to ripen like that It's quick It happens real bit It's sweeter Is it?

I don't know, at this point a year and a half ago, it was 12 episodes, and she's done one in a year and a half. And so she was like, I'll do a second one. And I'm like, you only 10 more. But I'll take the second one. And so we did that.
Starting point is 00:11:04 It's up on the Bobbycast, if you want to hear it. but it was really good. Maybe I'll play a clip of it tomorrow or something. Yeah. But I was really proud of her. She got extremely vulnerable and talked about some stuff that we've never talked about before, including a lot of the complications that she had leading into it.

Starting point is 00:14:02 did it was so nice. She was singing the whole time. And at first, she tried to put like a thing to keep my mouth open. And dude, I panicked. Like, I can't have something that just prized my mouth open. It's just like a little block that goes between your two teeth. But the fact that I couldn't close my mouth, I freaked out. And she was like, hey, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Like, you don't need that. Oh. Well, if you don't need it, then. I need that when they put that in. Yeah, she said some people need it. Oh. Because I grind my teeth so bad upon any stress. I, you don't like it.
Starting point is 00:14:32 It's uncomfortable. It freaked me out. It's just the fact that there's something that won't let me close my mouth. I use that same kind of thing when I poop from my butt cheeks. It just holds it out. Help me. Then I freak you out? I have stomach issues.
Starting point is 00:14:43 No, I just spray it. No, you do not. Of course I don't. But anyway. I can't believe you're good today like you are good. Yeah. And they gave me pain meds and everything. I haven't touched.
Starting point is 00:14:54 I haven't taken one. Don't eat it. Rock it. It feels great. Sell them to Amy. You want some Amy? I was joking. what I was thinking about.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Yeah, can I tell the joke? What joke? The thing you did? What did I do? It was really funny. It was really funny. It was one of the funniest things. Okay, you can say.
Starting point is 00:15:12 If she was joking, obviously. I was totally joking. I keep in my purse. I keep a bag. In my bag, I have a bottle of Xanax. And I wasn't planning on using it, but somebody on our flight was like really nervous. And I said, oh, whatever I guess. She said, hey, I have this.
Starting point is 00:15:34 She's like, I never take it one. I was like, we'll make sure you're good. Tiny piece. You got her a tiny piece of one to calm her down because she was freaking out in the airplane. And so she took it. But before I handed it to her, she kind of dropped it on her pants. And so as soon as she picked it up,
Starting point is 00:15:48 and went down and snorted her pants. Okay, that's not exactly what happened. Because she broke it in a little piece. And he goes down away. No, I licked my finger, and then I went over, and then I grabbed it. Whatever it was. It was. A plus.
Starting point is 00:16:02 And then I stuck it to my nose. Like I was going to snort it. Right, right, right. Like you didn't want to go to waste. It was the tiniest crumb. And so I was like... It was simply a joke, but it was funny. It was funny. It was funny.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yeah, I was like... If we thought it was real, we wouldn't have brought it up. Right. Yeah, that... Then you would know I have a problem. At first I thought it was real, but then I saw it. It's funny. It was good.

Yeah, so I finally got in to see an audiologist. This is, like, really big news.
Starting point is 00:19:11 For hearing? Yeah, I think my vertigo might be impacted by hearing loss. Hmm. So, vertigo is, yeah, yeah, chicken or egg, what's the deal? Most of the time the hearing loss comes first and then vertigo is like triggered by moments of hearing loss. So it can be like tinnitus is what it's called or other things. But I've been having like for the last several months, you know, and like everything's quiet and you hear a really high-pitched noise. Nope.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Oh, yeah. You never had that? Uh-uh. Ooh, I had that all the time. That's a sign of hearing loss. And then when we were at the, sorry. What a month it's been for me. Love tea and love hearing.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Sorry. And then when we were at the IHeart Country Festival, I was like in the hallway and all the sudden everything got really muffled. And I was like, nobody else is experiencing that. That is just me. And everything was like, everything felt like I couldn't hear it anymore. And so I've been suspecting of it. So it took a long time to try and get in to see an audiologist.
Starting point is 00:20:10 But I am. I have my appointment tomorrow. It's crazy that specialists take so long to get it. to even for something like an audiologist. Did you do the, hold your hand up, left ear, is that what you did, that test? Well, I don't know, I'll find out when I go in
Starting point is 00:20:25 tomorrow. Oh, you haven't been in and you just got the appointment. Yeah, which was a huge win. I crushed those tests. I'm not good, a lot of sensory things. Can't see. Colorblind like put me, E, that's all I got, I'm out with my bat. Man, those hearing tests
Starting point is 00:20:41 and I show off too. Left, I do it fast. Right arm. Double right. Double right. Fake right left. Oh man. I love those tests.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Lunchbox, tell me something good. Oh yeah. Last night I finally caught up on Survivor. There was an episode last Wednesday. And then we went to Austin. I haven't watched it. Everybody's been asked me that I know that watches Survivor.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Have you seen it yet? It's unbelievable. Mr. Beast makes an appearance. And he brings one of his psycho crazy twist to the game. And it was fantastic. You liked it. Mr. Beasts came on. Well, they've been having celebrities come on.
Starting point is 00:21:18 They had Zach Brown on earlier this season. I saw that one was not good. The fans said it wasn't good. Oh, I was like, this is so stupid. Why? Because it's just making it corny. He just wanted chicken fried the whole time. Like, it's just corny and just kind of cheesy.
Starting point is 00:21:31 And I haven't liked really the celebrities coming on. And they have a Billy Eilish kind of twist in the game this season, which is annoying. But Mr. Beast, it was fan. That's cool. Like he's known for his twist, like his games, and he brought something really cool and really just like, oh my gosh. It was, ooh, yeah, it was good, really good. So just a quick note, the Bobbycast Caitlin and I did last night, went up last night. Heather McMan's up now.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Jen Hamilton comes up Thursday, which is good. Yeah. It won't be up for a couple weeks, but Vanessa Carlton, I was with her yesterday doing a How was that? Like, I really like her. I didn't realize she never does anything. What do you mean, like no interviews? Never. And so, we have a whole different building that we shoot that in across town. And so a lot of times I'll already be in my studio when they arrive. I had to leave here to go there. It was a rare, like, noon taping, so I had to leave her quickly to get over there. And she was already in the front building. I don't want to drive up and then just walk around and not say anything. So I walked in to say hi to them.
Starting point is 00:22:43 and in Nashville for the most part a lot of people are kind of like extremely fake nice some are actually real nice but you know it's just like oh and she wasn't like that and I thought I think I'm all like her because she was like what's up and it was just like how I like it you know
Starting point is 00:23:01 and so she came in and she's very dry I don't know it was just and she sat down and she was like this last podcast I'm ever doing like I'm never doing another podcast after this and I was like, why? She goes, I never do one before this. And I was like, really? And then her person was with her was like, well, in 2021, you did.
Starting point is 00:23:19 She goes, that was a podcast. So she never does anything. And I was like, why did you do this one if you never do them? And so she doesn't live in Nashville, but she did years ago. And she was like, I always thought it would be good to do something, like sit down and like, talk with you. And I was like, great. And so to me, that was fun. She was very dry.
Starting point is 00:23:38 And I don't know how her, you never know until it's edited and people hear it. But I liked her a lot. And it's crazy to see someone who we only see as a teenager be an adult. Yeah. Because I don't only see her much as an adult. I haven't seen her really do anything as an adult. But we only see her playing, making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass as they going by.
Starting point is 00:24:01 And so, yeah, she was like 21 when that happened. Wow. But she was great. So where does she live? You know? I do. I'll just say the Northeast, because I don't. I don't know that she says where she lives.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I'll just say the Northeast. But yeah, it was cool, just a little bit from it. You know, that song is really one of the most famous songs of the past 25, 30, 40 years, right? It's been, it was big itself. It was in white chicks. People still play it. She did a festival at Coachella. Teddy Swims had her come out.
Starting point is 00:24:35 And I asked her, I was like, you get tired playing that song? And she's like, I'll play it very first. Oh, wow. She goes, I know what the fans want. going to get it. She goes, I sit down though. She goes, that way everybody's not the whole time just waiting. Like when they get their phone, you know, so he's like, we do it. It's awesome. And we move on. That's cool. So that was a good one. I know it's a couple weeks out, but that was a good one.
Starting point is 00:24:59 So I just never met her. It was one of those rare ones. I've never met them. They never do anything. And it ended up being pretty good. She's pretty cool. So that's what's up. And then I just, I just sing the songs. She has like three. songs that I really like. I think her music reminds me of like my super struggle time in this business. And so, but it's like super struggle, but like the best memories because I has unlimited potential. I could do anything.
Starting point is 00:25:25 And didn't know where it was going. What was that? Was that early 2000s? When was that? Yeah, probably 2001, 2000, 2001. Like I was still in college, but I was also like working full time. And I was like February of 2002. Okay. But I was like, man, I'm about take over the world.

Starting point is 00:26:25 Come on! It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So last December, there was his 88-year-old veteran, Ed Bombas. He's working at a store. A kindness influencer, Samuel shows up, sees him, makes a video of him, because 88 and back at work.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Apparently, Ed had pension from GM, but then GM filed for bankruptcy. So he had no more pension. He had to go get a job at 88, and he has a sick wife. So the video about him went viral. $2 million was raised for Ed, which is amazing. But the cool part now is Ed and Samuel have formed a relationship. And since Ed's a veteran, and he's like, I'd really like to give back to veterans, they launched something called For Your Service campaign,
Starting point is 00:27:06 and they're trying to raise money for 50 different veterans. And guess what Ed did, the 88-year-old veteran himself. Because people gave him money, he's donated $1,000 to each of the 50 veterans to launch their campaigns. And they're going to end up raising millions for the veterans as well. There's so many parts of this story that's wild. The fact that you can retire from somewhere and then they go bankrupt and it's almost like they should put that pension money. Yeah. Untouchable.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Yeah. You got to like root for your company to stay afloat after you leave the company. That are crazy. Yeah. And then the, again, the $2 million that's raised.
