02:31 podcasts. It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. A little spring cleaning yesterday. Like around the house or? Just clothes. Oh, close. It'd be more fall, but. Closet.
02:47 Yeah. Heavy. I went heavy yesterday. I did the thing where I think I was just kind of re-inspired by us talking about it. And I probably do it a couple times a year. But now I'm wearing a, I mean, I wear the same thing to work every day as far as like a cardigan and pants. But that closet is being relied on more with hoodies and stuff outside of work. And so that's a thicker closet.
03:09 And so it's getting, I got to donate some stuff. So I went through yesterday. I probably donated two trash bags full of clothes, of just all the way across the board. The one thing I can't really get myself to donate is pants. And it's not because I'm too good. It's because I don't want to try pants on to see if they fit or what I don't like. It's a whole process. Because that's annoying.
03:31 I don't even try them on when I buy them. That's one of my least favorite things, putting on pants. Like trying them on, I hate putting the liners in trash cans, trash bags. hate that. It's the worst. It's the worst. And I hate trying on pants. So, but I got rid of, I would say, 25 sweaters or hoodies.
03:51 Wow. Probably 15 t-shirts. It's an Eddie or? No, I just donated to that. Wow. So that's a good question. Where are they going? Because this is good stuff.
04:02 Some of it, saw the tags on it. I drop them off. Like the bins? What do you mean? Like the bins that are like in parking lots? No, they don't give them to trash. I donate them. No, no, no, they have donation
04:12 bills. They have donation bins. I go to the store. Oh, okay. Drop them off, yeah. Wow. Somebody's getting some kids. Somebody's gonna be like, look what I found.
04:20 Some of it has like tags on it still. That's awesome. I ended up donating my Hall and Oats shirt, which sucks. Wait, well, so why do you let go of it? A T-shirt doesn't take up too much space. I know, but I have been waiting for the right moment to wear that shirt. It's one that I bought.
04:38 It's an old, like from the 80s, haul and oats shirt. I've talked about it before where I never really found the right time. And then sometimes I'll buy something and I go, well, this is too nice. And I can never find the right time to wear it because I'm like, oh, it's too nice to wear. I'm not going to wear it here and waste it. And then all of a sudden, it's been two years. I've never worn it. And I just donated it. Give someone else the opportunity. Yeah, it was kind of a message to myself. Like if poop or get out of the pot. Because if you don't poop, you're going to donate the stuff because at least somebody else will use it. So that's what I did yesterday.
05:10 Okay. I mean, I told you I have a Bob Marley T-shirt that I've had for years, and I just can't fit into it. It's so tight, but I love it. And it stays in my drawer. Like, one day, I'm going to be able to wear that thing. Maybe, like, when I'm dying or something. Oh, here we go.
05:24 Like, when you're frail and you've lost all your... Give me that Bob Marley shirt. Atrophy has set in. I did get to wear my Arkansas coach's shirt, though. Yeah, at the game. That was cool. Yeah, I liked that. So I did donate that shirt, too.
05:38 Oh, it's a one and done? Like you wore it so then you get rid of it? Yeah, that was a goal shirt. A goal? To fit into it? Mm-hmm. Oh. And then once I did, I was like, oh, cool, I'm good.
05:50 I'll give it to somebody else, let them wear it now. Which one was that? I don't remember that one. The one he wore something with you and Ray. It's like a late 70s, 80s, Arkansas coach's shirt. With the stripe? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a cool shirt.
06:01 It's cool. It's old school. And I don't want it sitting around in my closet for a year of me, never wearing it when somebody else can wear it. But I was going to wear it. I mean, it's a razor-back shirt. Maybe somebody else wear it. I don't know. That's my yesterday.
06:11 Tell me something good. Do you? Yeah. So yesterday I was texting with some friends that I'm going to get to see this weekend. And I'm so excited because, like, I'm going to Austin for a little bit of work. I was invited out there. My friend Lauren, who, Bobby, you know, I mean, I went to college with her. I worked with her in Austin on different things.
06:31 And then now she's working for this place called Canyon Ranch. And I've done some things with them. And she sent me a really nice text a couple of weeks ago. She was like, hey, our CEO saw some of your stuff and, like, would like for you to interview him for this thing he has. And I was like, oh, okay. She's like, so pick a weekend and we'll coordinate it. And now that that's happening out there, but they're hosting a dinner for me Friday night for my high school friends. They just opened up so they have a restaurant and they're, you know, kind of.
07:00 They're doing stuff in Austin now? Yeah, it's opening this week. So, like, I'm there for the opening and doing something with the CEO that they said I could invite. some friends and they would host them for dinner. And so I made it like a little mini high school reunion. And then she surprised me with one of our other college girlfriends. She's like, hey, and our friend Heather is going to come out on Saturday and kind of spend the day there. You're going to be, I'm going to be working a little bit. She's like, but I'll take care of Heather. And then when you're done, we can have lunch together. And I haven't seen Heather in years. I feel like I'm going
07:29 back to Austin and I'm going to get like a little high school and now Heather from college, like a little reunion. And it's just going to be a special. weekend. So I'm very excited about that. How's your sister doing? She would love to be joining me. I'll tell you what. She's like, I wish I was going to Canyon Ranch this weekend because they're just doing massive cleanup at their house. Yeah, it's going to be weeks of stuff just like in the town. But they're grateful that just the water didn't make it actually inside inside the house. It's just the yard, the pick up the mess, the debris, and then the community. It's just such a, a bummer. But again, like I told you, if y'all aren't familiar, my sister lives in Colorado where
08:13 there was flooding. And I love that she lives in such a tight-knit community where they all want to take care of each other and help each other out. And thank you for asking about her. I think she's doing better than most. So they're just thankful. My brother-in-law posted this funny picture where the water's like right up to their porch and I reposted it. And he put the George Strait song like Oceanfront property in Arizona. Like it was funny to me because the water was like, right? Some people are like, oh, wow, that's so cool. Like, where does your sister live? I'm like, no, no, you don't understand. That water is not normally there. It's not supposed to be there. This isn't a water from property. I mean, they live on the river,
08:48 but the river is down the way. That water is receding, though? Oh, yeah. It's receded back down. So then what's left is just like slush and gh, like guck and debris, just things that were uprooted and went downstream or whatever you call it. I wonder if there's flooding. and they ever find not from the flood but from five, ten years earlier or like dead bodies or cars or stuff. I've wondered that too.
09:15 That people have disposed of in rivers or lakes and all of a sudden it washes up. Yeah, I never hear about that. I don't mean dead bodies for people who died in the flood. I mean...
09:26 Dead bodies... Yeah, yeah. Like concrete blocks on their feet like you ever seen that Lake Mead in Vegas? Oh yeah. I see a story almost like once a month. Wait, what's that? Bodies and barrels.
09:36 That's where the mob dumps people. Yeah, it's a lot. lake outside of Vegas where like in droughts the water just goes away and they just find bodies and barrels. Yep. Then why don't they have people out there just watching people driving out there? Right. That's what cameras.
09:48 That's an excellent point. But these bodies may have been so old. Like they just found one, like a couple weeks ago, the guy had been missing for 30 years maybe. Oh, old old day. Yeah. Some guy, you're thinking he's from Arkansas. Probably my dad. Stop.
10:04 What? Stop. Okay. I love how after you say that, we can just like stare at you and then we all start laughing. I know it's so stupid. Bobby's dad's in a barrel. You guys find my tragedy to be funny. No, we don't.
10:18 No, speaking of, today's the day that. Speaking of. How is this transition? How could we speaking of his dad? I know this is telling me something good, but also speaking of my sister, her birthday is tomorrow, which I just was thinking like, because we were supposed to be celebrating this last weekend. Her birthday's tomorrow, which means today's the day my mom died 12 years ago. Was it 12? Was it 12?
10:39 What in the world? Wait, yeah, 2014. Time flies, man. But also, the tell me something good is, like, that's the beautiful thing about grief. Like, if you haven't experienced like that, like, some days it'll hit you. And then other days, you can laugh about it and be like, oh, mom, you know. Sometimes on Facebook, my sister will post. Because I know a day my mom died, but my sister will post and go, yeah, this is the day.
11:01 You know, I don't post stuff like that. Well, that was this month, too. But, yeah, and, yeah, it's different every time. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you have it, depending on what's going on, you have a totally different reaction. And I feel like this year I'm like, oh, mom, you know, love you, miss you. Like you'd be, she would have loved our weekend of like my sister not being able to make it, but me still hanging out with my sister's friends for her birthday and all that.
11:25 It's funny. But who knows, you know, next year it might be like, oh, man, I really, it may not even be next year. It could be like three weeks from now. I'd be like, oh, I miss my mom. It just hits you in waves. But happy birthday to my sister and happy cleanup. up. They had a trip actually planned this week. So her, her husband was taking her somewhere for her birthday, but they had to cancel that too. So they'll probably just be in Fagosa for the near future.
11:49 Um, okay. Eddie? Yeah. Um, so how do I wait? Okay. No, no. I know. I know. Amy segued my fake dad in a fake barrel. Right. Into you said any segue works. Right. Any segue. Eddie's just like, uh, where do I go from here? I think what happened, I think what happened was I started thinking about your mom. and then start thinking about my dad. When it came to me, I was like, oh, hold on. Wait, Eddie's going to cry. Yeah, yeah.
12:12 So I'm taking a second. But no, I think what's cool for me is yesterday my sister called, and they're coming to Nashville for Thanksgiving. We're going to, like, get a cabin in the smokies or something, whatever. And so I told her, I'm like, hey, I went to the store. You guys want fried turkey? Like usually I either smoke it or fry it, but since we're not going to be at home, I can't really smoke it.
12:33 But I can take the friar. And she said, yeah, let's just do a fried turkey. And I went to the store and peanut oil is $50. Is that high or low? So high. For how big is the bottle? It's like it covers the whole turkey. It's a jug.
12:47 What is that normally? I feel like back in the, I mean, a few years ago, maybe $30, $35. Why do you think it's higher, straight up Hormuz? Possibly. Like, where are they getting the peanut oil from? I don't know, but it's so expensive. And I told her like, hey, the groceries are going to be so expensive. Like there's so many of us.
13:07 She's like, don't worry about it. I got it. I was like, hold on. Come again? This phone's not really working. She says, no, let me take care of all the food. I'm like, wow. Okay, cool.
13:18 And so she doesn't have, like, she's married, but she doesn't have any kids or anything. So she's just like, I can do this. That's really cool where your mind goes there because obviously we're wired differently. And you go, that's so cool. This is what my mind does as soon as you say that she's not going to get the right food. No, I'll buy it. She wants me to buy it. No.
13:36 Oh, you're going to pick it. to? And she'll pay for it. No, I know. Wait, so you're going to pick it all and then she's going to pay for it. Oh, that's cool then. I cook. I do all the cooking. But you're going to go pick all the food? Yeah.
13:45 You're going to tell her what to get? No, she said you get the groceries. And she'll pay you back. She'll reimburse you. Okay, that's good then. Because you're thinking what? They'd pick the wrong stuff. I'm going to have to go on makeup for it another way.
13:58 That's great. No, that's good. Is she a good cook like you are, though? She'll have a couple of dishes that she does. I retract my neurosis. And Eddie, just so you know, Rob, peanut costs have surged by more than 25%. It's crazy.
14:11 Because of crop variations, weather shifts, and increased procurement costs across the supply chain. Perkerman, okay. Perkerman. I don't know what that is, but. Here's a frog. No, that's Kermit. Perkermit. Got peanut oil.
14:27 I hope peanut oil here. Lunchbox is yours? Yeah, I woke up this morning and I was going to brush my teeth and I'm like, oh, here we go again. I think my sores are 90% healed. They take a long time though, right? I got this one big one right here on the front right. That's the one that still bothers me. But the other three are pretty much gone.
14:47 So did you get that stuff Bobby told you to get? No, I just been doing the aura gel. I've been drinking that stuff. Why are you stubborn about it? The stuff Bobby said is really good. Because I really thought, okay, I'm going to order it. It's going to take two days to get here. They'll be gone by then.
14:59 At the store. It's like, I don't know, three blocks from where you live. I thought it was online. No, no, you literally can get it. That's on me for not telling you that. I just literally thought I had to go to Amazon order it. It'll take two or three days to get here. I mean, by the time, so I just was doing ore gel.
15:14 I'm just squeezing it in my mouth. I'm glad it's better because those suck. They are terrible, especially the ones right here in the front, dude, I'm telling you. Because your tooth's always rubbing on it, so you feel like it's never going to get better. Or your tongue's always licking it because it's always like boom, boom, boom. Yeah, like if you get one on the side of your cheek or something, you can go to the other side of your mouth. These were in the front. And it was just like every time you bite something, water goes in there is just like, gosh, it was terrible. See, I'm feeling really good. Like, it's almost all the way gone. You see it still though?
15:43 I'm good, not looking, but I'm happy that it's. Yeah, it's almost done. Bobby, say the name of the recommended ointment, you because I, other people have this. Can I can't remember. Kanka, yeah. And it's a little messy because it is in like, you know how the Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes held her finger and thumb up? It's in a little bottle like that and you screw the top off and it has kind of a one. wand that goes in it. And so you pull the wand out with the gel. There's also the pin, but it's not as good as the gel. Oh, I love the pen. The pen is good, but it's not as good as the gel. And the gel, but the gel can get on stuff, but the gel is A plus. The pen is pretty good. Yeah. The pen doesn't give you enough. Enough medication? Yeah. Like, yeah, because you have to twist it. The pen's good, though. The pen's good, though. All right, good. My neck feels a little better today. I had a really bad crook on my neck yesterday. There's just nothing you can do about that.
16:34 You have a crick in your neck? You just, like, you could even have someone come and, like, give you a massage, but it doesn't help it that day. Right. So the cricks, oh, look at this. Watch how I can turn. Wow. 80% back. Dude, I think I heard something pop when you did hear something pop.
16:50 That's what's crazy. Yeah. Oh, God, dang, that hurts. Watch this. Watch this. Wow. Yeah. I got free that look.
16:59 Watch it. Watch this. Wee. Look at this side. You're basically an owl. Oh, man. Yeah, so that's what's up. All right, everybody good?

29:14 But he's in an ensemble. He was in sync. So you would have led me the wrong way because he is an actor. And I don't remember the music answer. He said early and I got lost on that one. I was trying to figure out who you were. Sometimes I don't even know who the people really are on your head, and I have to figure it out as we go.
29:34 Stop saying stuff like that. Stop. Now you're putting that in my head. And I'm real. And I've met them. Okay. I'm going to go the I've met them part as wild. Like, where would I have met them?
30:02 I'm going to go. Keenan Thompson? No. Am I Megan Fox? Yeah. I am? You lied. I don't think she was married.
30:13 They were married? They never got married. Son of a. No way, dude. That's amazing. I won. I'm freaking Megan Fox. That is great.
30:26 Okay, give me a clue. Oh, we've both met them. We've both met this person. Had a great time with this person. Am I also Megan Fox? Not like that, not like that. And when do we do that? We both met this person, had a great time.
30:54 Blake, I don't know. Give me another hint. And the reason I know they don't live in Nashville is because we went to them where they live. Stone Cold Steve Austin? Yeah. So question, though, is he part of a group? If he's part of the wrestling? I would have said no to that.
31:11 Okay, all right. He works for a company. And he was never part of like a rest of. wrestling faction that stayed forever. And that's what I was wondering. I didn't know he was part of the, you know. NW. Are the Stone Colders?
31:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good job. Dude, I want one. You did. This is great. You got on her quick. Who was she married to that's famous, though, because it wasn't a machine gun Kelly.
31:30 Oh, really? She was married to someone else. Oh. Dennis Quidd? I don't know. Who was she married to? Brian Austin Green. Oh, she had a kid.
31:39 I think she had a kid with Machine Gunn Kelly too. Dang, okay. But she is sexy. You win. Good job. Okay, if you missed it, we did say it, but it was, Eddie's was... Megan Fox. Yeah, and mine was Stone Cold, Steve Austin.
32:00 There you go. Okay, thank you, everybody. 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. All right, I want you to picture it.
32:13 A school bus driving down the road. road with flashing lights, doors open, and there's 19 kids inside. I don't like what I'm picturing. You're a bystander, and you realize something's obviously off here. So he hops on the bus. His name is Ibro Ahmed. He's 27 years old, and the driver was having a medical emergency, so he was able to take over. The bus was going about 10 miles per hour.
32:40 He never driven a school bus before, so he... He jumped in a bus going 10 miles an hour? Yeah. Wow. The floppy door had to be pulled. Yeah, they were already open. The doors were already open. That's what was weird to him.
32:50 The doors opened. The lights are flashing. But it was still moving. It was still moving. Yeah. So he went and hopped aboard. Didn't know how to drive it. So like shifted into reverse.
33:00 Like not knowing, but he was trying to stop it. It was a stick bus. Well, I don't know where you shift. I just hit the break. Again, oh, I'm looking at it now. Oh, it's just rolling. Oh, my God. Look at this.
33:11 Uh-huh. Look at this guy and sweats doing that. Like it's any different. He credits Gray's anatomy with helping him stay calm during this emergency. He has no medical training, but he said watching fictional doctors handle stressful situations taught him the importance of staying composed and thinking things through. So that's... But what do he do other than drive the bus?
33:33 He got on and stopped it. He ran on the bus. He jumped on a moving bus. I'm watching it. Jumped on a moving bus. Got in, slammed on the break. And then it looks like he's trying to throw it in something. Yeah, he goes in reverse.
33:43 And then he stops it. I don't know that he tended to the bus driver medically, but he saved it from crashing. And he was in sweats. He's in sweats. If you missed that part. Gray wins. Black zippers. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:55 Yeah, good one. Good story. He just saw it and ran out there. That's crazy. I saw this on, it looks like NPR News. I don't know where your story's from. CBS. There you go.
34:03 All right, great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the good news. With Lunchbox. Tell me something good. Back in 19. 1887, Dale, who lives in mineral wells, Texas, had a dream.
34:19 He wanted to build a boat and sail to Alaska. Well, here we are 40 years later. He hadn't finished that boat. It's been sitting in his front yard. Like Eddie. I knew that was coming. And there's these three guys from England. One of them's a social media influencer heard about his story.
34:35 Came to Texas, visited Dale, put up a go-fund me, and now they've raised $44,000. the boat is 75% finished and they're looking to get it on the water soon so Dale can live out his dream. People will donate to anything exactly. That is what I'm saying. But if people are moved by it, that's great. Here's my thing. At 86 years old, he ain't going to be able to sail to Alaska.
35:00 He could. He could ride along. But also he could do it as one of his final do-its. But maybe he wasn't able to do it, man. Life just happens. You're making this about you. No, well, I put myself in this situation because how awesome would it be to say like, I've always wanted to do that? And then people come together and raise money for you? Yeah, that'd be epic.
35:20 What have you always wanted to do? Oh, well, let's see. I want to sail like this guy for the Caribbean, not Alaska. So if we raise enough money for a trip, you'll go? Dude, if you guys raising enough money for a boat? No, I'm not doing that. I was kidding. Of course.
35:32 Oh, my gosh. That'd be amazing. I wanted to go to all seven continents. Cool. This guy, his boat is very old and big and big. beat up and now they're building. I'm looking at a picture of it. That's great. My point is if you have a compelling story, people will throw a few bucks at it in order to help you achieve whatever your dream is. It's pretty amazing. Bobby, have you been to all seven continents?
35:54 No. I've not been, let me see. Okay, I guess not Antarctica. I guess Antarctica is the only one off. Okay, North America, yes. I live in it currently. South America, yes. I did a television show in South America. Hold on. Europe, yes. Asia. yes. That's four. Australia, yes. That's five. What else is there? You tell me. Well, we already said Antarctica.
36:21 That's the one I haven't said that. That's one of them. What did we not say? This one I haven't been to, but what is the only one remaining? Oh, Africa? Yeah, I've not been to Africa. I've been to five of seven. Dang. It's pretty crazy, man.
36:38 I have no interest. You should go. It's beautiful. I know. I have no interest in the flight. Yeah, that'd be tough. I could just teleport there. That'd be cool. Yeah, as my days when I had nothing to do. In Japan.
36:49 You could get on a boat with Dale and you guys could sail. Yeah, we could, yeah. Anyway, it's a good story. Can't wait for Dale's boat to be finished. Stay on that beat. Now stay on the beat. Update us, please. Whatever happens, update us.
