Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHart Podcast presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne.

This is my best friend, Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the Hips since high school. Absolutely. A redacted amount of years later, We're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips. This is a podcast.

We're recording it as we tailgate. Our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? They had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for the good news.

Tell me something good. All right, let's go all around the room. Tell me something good. Eddie. So yeah, somebody left the gate open in my backyard. What has the ability to get out other than a kid? Dog. And the dog got out.

And so I get home yesterday and my wife's like, hey, have you seen her dog? And I'm like, no, because she's usually right by the door, like always on her little bed. And I said, no. She's like, well, I think I let her out, but I don't remember. And I look out and that gate is wide open. Man, that sucks. I'm like, oh my gosh, here we go. So I go out.

Small dog too, right? Like an animal can take it? She's, no, no, no. She's like middle. She's middle size. How big? 15 pounds? Yeah, like 25 pounds. Okay.

And so I go out there, I start yelling her name, and nothing. And I go in my car, I drive around the block and nothing. What always works is her bags of treats. It's like in a tin can. I take it and I shake it. Dude, she came out of the woods with burrs and like sticks and everything, like running out. So lucky. And she came and I was like, thank God we did not lose her.

The fact that she was close enough to be able to hear the shake. Man, that gives me anxiety. It's just funny how, like, really, I can yell her name, like, on the top of the mountain, and she will not respond, but I shake her a treat. Like, she comes running, like, no problem. You have nothing to offer just by yelling her name. Right. Possible scolding.

Amy, you're up. So I told you all I got this new little suction cup bird feeder and that a cardinal had come, which is my mom, but the Blue Jay came, which is my dad. Wow. And I know Eddie would appreciate it because also I need to ask Eddie how he filmed the birds coming to his feeder because I want to get a camera to and actually I was going to invite Eddie on an outing

if you wanted to come. Let's not do that but that's pretty no no no wow you don't even know what the outing is. Listen to her offer. No it's not. I thought it was like to your house to film the birds. I'm like that's weird. It's not to my house. It's to a bird store. Oh okay. It's like it's like a bird store.

Like probably 10 minutes from my house like I mean that's good content. We guys go shoot you guys at a bird store. Then we just go look at birds. I don't know. I don't know what else you do at a bird store. It's called wild birds unlimited. So I'm worried about this?

So it could be any bird? They have unlimited. It's unlimited as one in a bird could show up? Well, they have unlimited birding accessories, tools, feeders, baths, see guys, what's going to happen? Cameras.

We're going to end up buying birds. No, no, no. I don't think they sell birds. Oh, they don't? No, I think they, it's a shop for birding people like us. That's kind of cool. Binoculars. Yes.

I think that would be a nice. This little fun content piece to go shoot. I've been looking at the different, the various feeders they have and different types of food. And so I've just, I guess I'm just excited that my birding is back because I had to take a break because when I moved, just there wasn't a setup that really worked. I mean, I had a few feeders scattered about, but they were too far away to where I couldn't like see the birds. And the suction cup one helped suck me back into it. Do different bird foods attract different birds? Yes.

Like do the Blue Jay who you, your dad is a blue jay and your mom is a car. Cardinal. Do they like the same food or different foods? Yeah, they both came to the same feeder with the same food. I have a mix that's good for Tennessee-type birds. And what I'm attracting is backyard birds, and Cardinals and Blue Jays in Tennessee are a backyard bird. Like, Eddie had a whole thing. Like, he got... What about eagle? Would an eagle ever land there? No. He couldn't fit. An eagle? I've never seen an eagle here.

What? I've seen hawks. I've never seen an eagle here. You've never seen an eagle? Like a landed eagle. Not in Nashville, no. Like a bald eagle? Yeah. Yeah, no.

You have not? No, have you? Yes. What about a former Philadelphia eagle player just walking around? Oh, Donovan McGowan. Yeah. At one of the trails we walk, there's an eagle's nest, and you have to, there's like, there's like, there's like, don't cross this point because then you could disrupt. I mean, the nest is way up high, but I see the bald eagle flying there.

I'll tell you what's weird about shooting videoing these birds is like, I have a Are you going to your phone? I have a phone with a red case. That's how I did it. I just put my phone against the window. Okay, see, I was asking me, I didn't know if he had a special camera or he just did his phone. And you just put it on... I thought Eddie was going to make it to watch YouTube video or something.

No, no, no. He got to watch it. It's so fun. So you just hit record and like let it just go and then you edit it whenever you saw a bird come? Correct. Yeah, I'd leave it for like 15 minutes and then whatever came. Oh, you had a lot of visitors in 15 minutes. No, a lot.

Yes. And when it snowed, a lot came by. But what's crazy is I have a red case on my phone. The red Cardinals, every time it came up, it was like, whoa. And then you got away. The Red Cardinal did not like the red phone. Really? Yeah.

But what's crazy is a bull ran through the window. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, Eddie, I'll have to send you a video because I thought of your dad because haven't we decided he's a morning dove? He's a morning dove. Yeah.

So. He comes every day, by the way. Eddie's dad came to my house and couldn't figure out my feeder. And so it's clear plastic on the top and he wouldn't go in. into the hut to get the food. He was on top of the plastic trying to get the food and he was pecking his peak down onto the, and I was like, oh, Eddie's dad struggling. He's a little uncoordinated. He's struggled. Yeah, he does that at my house too. He's a little slow. Do you know what the national bird in Mexico is? Eagle. Yeah, the golden eagle. Because it's on the flag. That's correct.

Yeah. That's what's in the scent and the, when the, yeah, it's like a snake in its mouth and everything. Yeah, their eagle looks hardcore. I think their eagles in the cartel. So there's is a golden eagle? Probably. The national bird of Mexico is the golden eagle. It's the eagle you see on the Mexican flag standing on a cactus respect with a snake. Double respect. The image comes

from an Aztec legend about where they found modern day Mexico city. Huh. I didn't know that. That's cool. Do you know there's a Mexican Jay? Oh, like a blue jay, but a Mexican jay? No, I didn't know that. I was just searching for like a Mexican bird to see

Oh, see, my dad with that? Yeah, yeah. And then I landed up on the Mexico national bird, which thought's pretty cool story. I mean, dude, that would be crazy if a Mexican j landed on my... That's what I'm saying. That for sure would be my dad. Yeah, but for now he's a morning dog. Yes, for now. But you can't change. But he's got a buddy or something because he always comes with someone else. Bobby, there are no rules. You can change. You think my dad found another chick. Because he comes with another. Oh, like a literal chick? Because he's a bird? Oh, yes, yes. Well, morning doves often travel in pairs. He found a girl. That's the thing.

lunchbox this whole time has just been hanging his head. Well, I mean, Eddie made fun of, excuse to make fun of Amy all the time when we talked about her mom visiting, her dad visiting. And now all of a sudden Eddie's like, oh, my dad's a morning dove. And it's like, what happened? That's exactly. My dad died happened. My dad died.

From the one person who doesn't have a dead parent, he's like, but also I don't believe him either. Thank you. Have you tried? No, but I don't hate it. I've always said to Amy. I think it's funny, but I can't. say that's not true.

I know, but I just wonder what changed Eddie's mind. I understand your dad died, but why did you... That's what you... And then a morning dove showed up, like, every day. Yeah, and then he got in, and then he got a feeder, and then he got... It's like a thing. It just also... You also look for things to comfort you.

Maybe it's our age. I'm not quite sure what happens, but it's like, just one day you wake up and it's like, oh, I find birds coming to my feet are really interesting. It's kind of cool. Like, I'll talk to him. Like, what's up, dad? You know? And then he'll look.

Like, it'll look. in the window and be like, what's going on? What's going on in there? Yeah. And he's the only bird that doesn't get scared when I sit in the couch right by the window. I don't know. Something there. Probably not, but I can't prove you're wrong and nor what I want to because if you find comfort

in it, good for you. Yeah. Exactly. I like that. But probably not. But you heard I said, I can't prove you wrong. I was watching a John Edwards video. You popped across my TikTok. Remember John Edwards, Amy? Senator? Mm-mm. I think it's John Edwards.

The guy that would see people death, talk to dead people? He had a TV show for a while? I mean, I feel like I'm picturing. Is he a brown hair? Uh-huh. And he'd go to the crowd and he'd be like, I'm talking to somebody. Yes, he's yes, I know who this is. Like, I generally feel, I'm going to search him real quick. I generally feel like he's full of crap. Man, he's good at, he's good at being full of crap. I could see where you'd find comfort in that. John Edward's psychic. Yeah, here we go.

When they pass. And if it's too painful to leave while that person's there, they'll wait to that person's not. So if you were not able to be there, please don't take offense to that. Don't think that you failed them. They may not have been able to pass with you in the room. So it's just stuff like that. I'm like, I can't prove he's wrong. And he was on Jay Shetty's podcast. And do I think John Edwards really knows all the stuff about dead people? No, but I definitely can't prove he doesn't. And I also would never argue that there is no one with an ability that I can't understand. I'm doing lots of negatives. But I think there are people that have abilities that I can't understand. And because I can't see them or understand them doesn't mean they aren't

real. But generally speaking, do I think people like that are full of crap? Yeah. So hard to know. That's right. And because so many people take advantage of people or people, they think they have some weird ability and they really don't. But I'm not someone who's going to tell, who's going to absolutely say, gun to my head, there's no chance. This is not, I don't even want to say a talent or a skill, but this is not something. A gift? Sure. A gift that people can't possess. It's a good word, Amy. I mean, I don't know. You nailed it. Hey. Nailed. Nell that word. Okay, thanks.

So any whozy, a Blue Jay came to my feeder. That's awesome. That's really cool. They do have feeders with cameras on them already, but they're kind of expensive. I know, I know. I have one of those, I feel like a listener sent to me. I just need to set it up. It's a little complicated, but it's like one of those cameras you put in the woods, like on a tree.

I guess I could set that one up. A wildlife cam. Yeah. You guys are going hard. It's awesome, dude. And what's really cool with Amy is like no one ever, like, They'll be a woodpecker right at the window. I'll be like, guys, guys, look at woodpecker, and nobody cares.

But Amy cares, and I love that. Oh, I thought then when there was your dad, they'd all come running. No, they don't care to anybody. They don't care about that one either. Got it. All right, that's good. Lunchbox? Yeah, yesterday at 532 p.m. got a call.

And it said, attention. Your child will return to school tomorrow. There has been power restored. School resumes tomorrow. And I was like, all right, they're going back to school. That's a great thing. After six days off of pure chaos, they return. Six school days more than that.

Well, yeah, six school days. It was like whatever many days in a row, they go and get some education and some structure in their life. Yeah, except for, did you also in the same? I got the email, so I got the same message. And then I get an email that's like, oh, reminder, winter break is coming up. Yeah, they have a winter break. Did you believe that?

Well, you just had Christmas break. And then they had snow ice break. Right. And then they have winter break. And then they have spring break. Oh, we don't have winter break. We just have spring break. Does that affect, though, when big summer hits?

Like, is it later because you're taking the little breaks? No, because they've had, they have days built in for the winter break or the ice days. They have extra days built in the school year. So they are able to not extend the school year any. But I'm talking about winter break. Not the one we just had. But, like, is the schedule a little different from when we were going to school? Because they do have these smaller breaks in that the bigger break is not as big anymore.

Summer feels shorter, yes. They start school a lot earlier because they have fall break and I guess you have winter break. We don't. But then you have spring break. So they have a lot more breaks. And then Thanksgiving now is all week off. Instead, when we were kids. It was just Thursday Friday.

Yes. So they do start earlier. And the winter break isn't the whole week. It's like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or something. Or maybe only two days or something. I think I was like a Friday Monday. It doesn't matter how they do it. It's just different.

And it just felt it was like cruel to send that reminder right after they've just been home for week. I'm like, just give it a beat. Give it a beat. But whatever. But yay, school. Yeah, school. They're back of school. Kids need like routine, you know, and when they don't have it, it's chaos. I need routine. And when I don't have it, I feel chaos. Yeah. So yes, I agree with kids especially. All humans, yeah. Mine is I had this freaking Zit coming up in my lip and I popped it and I was like, oh God, I hope it was a Zit. I don't really get that many fever blisters. It's, it's. It's is it, thank God, because I have stuff I have to do all this week. So can you see it at all? Nope. It feels like it is a second head. It's so big. Does you put concealer on it? No.

Oh, because I can't see it at all. The only time I would ever do that is if I had a real TV shoot and I feel like it would hurt it long term, but help it short term because I was putting like something unnatural in it. But I got on chat GBT last night. I took a picture of it and I said, what's going on here? Because what happened was I was already squeezing it and making it red and all messed up. And it's like, uh, that looks like a pimple with torn skin. And I was like, thank God. He's like, this is what you do to fix that. And so I put aquifer all over it, which is good. But I was nervous. It was going to be a fever blister. It's not. And that's good news to me. Yeah. I had a interview last night with Cody Johnson. It was a late one. I had a long day yesterday.

So we had a late Bobbycast. That'll air next week. But Cody Johnson came over last night at like five and we taped a bobbycast with him. He's back. He had his ear exploded. Yeah, his eardrum. Uh-huh. And so he was just done for a while, but now he's back. He's starting again. So he came over. Um, he's the guy that's kind of like us in that his crew's been together a long time. Because I was like, hey, when you started, like, who's your guys? Like, well, 15 years ago, 13 years ago. They've been running together. And so like us, 20 years, 20 years. Where are you adding this now? We've been friends for way longer. Yeah, but with the show 12. But we work television together way before that. So that'll be next week. Blake Shelton's up now on podcast and on Netflix. And then Derek Huff goes up on Netflix Thursday. And then Cody Johnson will be next week.

Derek Huff, the dancer? Mm-hmm. Oh. He's won six times and now he's a judge on Dancing with the Stars. Yeah. Also. Oh, did you, that's when you went to? L.A.

L.A. Okay. I was like, when did you see him? Yeah, we did a bunch out there. Well, we did four in like a day and a half. So, yeah, that's what's up. So that's my tell me. me something good. Hey Ray, do you have anything? We rarely go to you on this. Yeah, out of, it's now official. Out of all my family, you guys, I guess Eddie never lost power, but we never had one second

of lost power, lost hot water, lost microwave, lost refrigerator, lost dishwasher. So we live life as normal. And I'm just like, wow, we must be on the most powerful power grid and all of Nashville and just props to my father-in-law. I think more than that, it's your line. You're Wines weren't affected by trees falling on it. So either you have lines without a bunch of trees over it that didn't crack or they're underground. Yeah, my lines were underground. Also, we got a line installed when our house was built, so that might be it too. Well, nothing landed on it or affected it because that's what happened here.

Correct. Maybe a squirrel, but not much more. Yeah, well, that's great. You've got to keep your power. Yeah! All right, there you go. That's Tell Me Something Good. That was Tell Me Something Good.

Okay, create high school looks like it could be through some research, a school in Nebraska. So he called a library there to see if they could help him track down a BW.

It's like, wheelage or something like that. She lost the ring so long ago. She couldn't even recall how it ended up 1,300 miles away. But she thought it was pretty cool to get it back. And it was just as shiny as it was on. No way. No way. No way as a shiny.

They had to clean it first. When he returned it, he returned it to her shiny and new looking. Amy's still waiting on hers back. Yeah. I'm going to be like Barbara. I'm going to be. elderly of some sorts. I don't have her age.
