it was like 42 degrees. So it wasn't a freezing rain. And we had a bunch of ice that we're, my wife's pregnant. She's really avoiding all ice all the time. So it kind of, it melted like all of the ice on all of the surfaces outside. So now she can walk around a little bit out there. And we just needed it because everything was still iced over.

Yeah. I was stuck in traffic though. I'm never in traffic. Because come to work early. I'm never on the road at 5 o'clock p.m. But I was yesterday because I had, we recorded 25 whistles yesterday. Then I went to brain therapy, my therapist. Then I went to physical therapy after that. So all those ran together and it was 5 o'clock and I'm on the road and I'm like, I hate this.

I would just not work. So I have to go through this every day. So your therapist, when you say brain, you mean like talk therapy? Yeah. Okay, I don't know. Mental health. I was working on my mental health and my physical health. I was not telling my wife yesterday.

Gully, you were so on top of it yesterday. That's pretty common. I try to schedule stuff near. Oh, it's common to have those on the same day. Yeah. I did in physical therapy yesterday. I ran for 10 minutes, but I did five-minute walk, five-minute jog in the anti-gravity treadmill. And really, they say anti-gravity.

They just basically put you in this air balloon. and it takes you to like 70% of your body weight. The last time I did that, oh, I should do this as my time. It was good. The last time I did that, I only got through two and a half minutes and had to quit because my ankle was killing me.

I did all 10 minutes. It hurts today a little bit, but I think there's been some progression. I was worried when I fell on the ice last week that I had re-injured my ankle. But after I ran for 10 minutes, it hurt a little, but I do feel progression. I'm almost back.

I mean, who knows? Who knows what kind of athlete I'm going to decide to be? When you're back, what are you? I don't know, dude. What's your goal? It's your goal to be back. I don't know. I feel like I'm an empty canvas right now.

If I want to get into marathon running. Oh, that you could do it. Professional pickleball. Don't do a marathon after your foot. But I could. I could, but. He's not going to do it right out of the gate, Amy. He's going to build up to it.

It's a whole new canvas. I haven't done anything in three months. Exciting. Two tell me something good. Those two things. Amy, what do you have? So at the beginning of the year, I set out to read more. and I've officially finished, like it's still, what, we're very early February, and I've already read

three books, and I'm about to finish my fourth. That's really great. I'm a whole new person. Like, I can't wait to, like, get ready for bed and get in bed and read. And I have my little nightlight that is like an amber color, so it doesn't mess with, you know, my circadian rhythm. And I, I don't know. It's like, who am I?

Like, last night, my boyfriend called me and was like, hey, what are you doing? I was like, I'm already in bed, I'm reading. You know, this is the year that I read. That's great. It's fun to finish books. It's so fun. This is not me. I mean, I've been kind of an okay reader, but not really.

I mean, the fact that I'm on my fourth book for the year, that's more than I read in the last few years. Combined? Yeah. I wasn't making a joke. I mean, I've listened to some. Like, I've listened to books. And so I guess I'm separating that from listening to actually reading and carving out time. And I kept thinking, like, I don't really have time for that.

And it's like, I have time. It's just am I going to watch a TV show or am I going to read a book? Hold on. Four books. Are we talking like 100-page books? No. The Nightgale was the longest one. And that one, I just.

That's a real one. I read that. That's a real one. Like that one I got into the other two. Cat in the hat. Cat and the hat and Green Eggton and one of the book. Oh, wow. That's really impressive.

Man. The other two, no, no. The other two are Emily Henry books and they're just like rom-com romance-type books. And they're very easy reads. They're not like the Nightingale was. heavy. And that's why I'm kind of cleansing my palate because the Nightingale's historical fiction and it's heavy stuff.

So I'm cleansing my palette with these little rom-com books that... I still counts. I really love... Don't feel judged. I know, but they're an easy read. And so then I'm ready for my... I say all this that if anybody else has a... Once I get done with Beach Read, which is what I'm on

now, I want another historical fiction book, so I'll take recommendations. I'm not a big historical fiction guy. So I don't have a good recommendation. I read that one, but then I read another book that was the real version of that kind of. Oh, well, I also like true, so I'll take it. Nonfiction? No, no, man, nonfiction. Yeah, that's true, right? Yes. You know, I call an infant, a super baby, so I'm not going to be that judgmental. I want a true book. I know my brain, I was like, yeah, I'll take a true story,

which is nonfiction. What is it? It's similar to the nightingale? Yeah, it's basically a real version of that story. The problem with reading books on an iPad, which I often do, is that I forget the titles of the books, I forget the authors of the books, and I don't know what the cover looks like because all I'm doing is going back to it and it's just the page that I'm reading. So, okay. Also, I think this month helped me out, Lungebox, to your point of what am I reading is, well, we lost power for several days and I was staying at my house.

So I was sitting by my fire reading for. when normally we would have been doing other things. A woman of no importance. The untold story of the American spy who helped win World War II. Ooh. That's cool. Oh, heck yeah.

I'll get into that. It's a version of that story that you read. I mean, very similar. Yeah, I'll probably, I'm able to get into it more knowing that it's legit, real. The Midnight Library. I've talked about a long time ago. It's straight fiction.

So I'm not a fiction hater at all. I like cleanse the palette a little bit with fiction. It's just hard for me to find a fiction book. I actually know in the first two nights if I don't like it. I love the midnight library. It was so good. The midnight library. It's straight fiction though. So. What's that about? I think you just read it. That author Matt Haig also H-A-I-G also wrote The Life Impossible, which is great. Is that also fiction?

Yeah. I mean, if we're just going down this here, don't believe everything you think was really good. Project Hail Mary's straight fiction is awesome. That's going to be a movie. It was awesome. Yeah. I read that a couple years ago. I finished The Sum of Us, which is good. That is...

That is... It's nonfiction. It's a lot of data. It's the sum of us, what racism costs to everyone and how we can prosper together by Heather McGee. Oh, so it's more like life. Yeah. It was good. Stupid question.

But like, you know, when you talk about... movies and shows like everyone's always like oh my gosh have you seen this how do you find a new book like like this right now can i yep it's much like a netflix show okay okay okay it's people recommending or go to good reads this is not a commercial for good reads is that a website it's yeah basically people review stuff speaking of that's what your wife sent me i know the next book i'm reading and she said she it's from her good reads man what's it called there's birds on the cover and I was like, oh, it's meant to be. Birds.

I read Man Search for Meaning by Victor E. Frank. It has a bird on it. Did you read that? No, that's not. I know, I haven't read it yet. She just sent me the thing the other day of like, because we were like, should we start like a little texting book club? It's like, we don't.

Man, yellow face is so good. What's that? It's fiction also. Dude, you've read a lot of books. So it's the correspondent. I haven't seen that. I haven't read that. Yeah, she said that's on her.

I know people are getting annoyed that's talking about books. Why? I thought Bobby said you said you gave up reading He's going over like this is what he's read In the last 13 months or so I've read a bunch of this Last year I read chain gang all stars fiction Bro, it's awesome

I know Mike's wife read that one too Yeah she liked that one huh I'm gonna order the course for me For me this is my version of meditating though What? Reading? Yep Because I'm like rush rush rush

Calendar calendar calendar next thing run jump Go get dead If I have a book I have to focus or I'll read lines and lines and pages page to be like, what did I just read? I don't even know what I just read. So I got to go back and do it again. It is very much a focus type thing for me. The Daily Stoic, one of my favorite books ever.

Amy, is it hard for you because you're dyslexic? Reading has been difficult for me. She reads it from the back. Oh, really backwards and then forward? She hits up in the back, dude. But I think right now, since I have the momentum, I got to stick with it. Oh yeah, it's so fun. When you're going.

Like when you have the momentum and I have to keep going. And so some of the pages, I'm like, shoot, I just read that page. I have no idea what I just read. All the time. So I'll either go back or it'll work itself out. I'll figure it out. I'll do one more. I'll talk about that book Yellowface for a second because I pulled up because I remember

it was about an author who was faking like she wrote something. But it is about a white author, June Hayward, who steals and publishes a manuscript from a recently deceased Chinese American friend under the pseudonym Juniper Song, which is a Chinese American name. But she has it. Her friend died. And again, her friend's Chinese. And so she has to kind of act like she wrote. It's funny. Anyway, that's book minute. Yeah, book minute. I mean, I think more people are into books than you think. Listeners are the ones that recommended all to Emily Henry books to me. And I'm rolling through them. That's pretty cool though. When you finished books, then you can add it to your collection.

Yeah. It's fun. And nothing feels better than when someone else also read a book that you read. You're like, have you read? They're like, yeah. Have we just become best friends? It's one of those. Lunchbox, tell me something good.

Yeah, so we have this ice storm and power went out a lot of places. Tree branches fell. And there has been tree branches on my power line connecting to my house, just weighing it down like almost to the ground in the backyard. Luckily it hadn't snapped. And there were sort of linemen from Des Moines, Iowa driving through the neighborhood yesterday. And they saw it,

jumped out of the truck, got their equipment, boop, boop, and got the branches off the wire. So it never snapped. That's good. Okay, but you had power. I had power, but I was still worried that it was going to disconnect from my house

because the tree branches were on it. and they always say you don't want to touch a tree branch that's on a power line. They do say that. I've heard them say that. And so I just left it alone. Wood not a great conductor, though, but you don't want to touch anything touching a tree line. Say that again? Oh, wood is not a good powers.

Like, a conductor. Tree wood. What do you mean? Wood? Like W-O-O-D. Somebody say. Wood? Do you know what that is, Amy?

No. Come on. Wayne's World? Yeah, that's what I guess. Oh, Ranger Joe. He has a puppet. Joey. Yeah.

Anyway. No, but I just want to shout out the guys from Des Moines, Iowa. Did you meet them? My wife did. I wasn't home. Oh, dang. Yeah, they're probably big fans of the show, though. And they happen to see some branches on our wire, and that's what they're in town to do,

is just drive around and find branches on wires, and they, boom, took them off. In case anyone's wondering, dry wood is a poor conductor of electricity acting as an insulator, primarily because it lacks free electrons necessary for electrical current to flow. What about wetwood? What about? It's a good question. So you're telling me I could have done it, no problem? Well, we don't know that.

No, I wouldn't touch anything. I wouldn't do it. No, I wouldn't do it. So the more moisture it has, I'd assume. Worse? It could be bad for you. Water soaked or greenwood is more conductive than dry wood. Water inside the wood acts as an electrolyte.

So water would be it, but it's not all water. so probably still not a great conductor, but I wouldn't mess with it. I wouldn't mess with it even as a straight wood. Or as Amy says, what'd you say? Wet wood. Wet wood. What's the opposite of dry?

Eddie. All right. So last Friday, I guess that's when it was like really freaking cold, five degrees or seven degrees or something. It was in the single digits. And my heater was not getting above 70. Like we had set it to like 75 and it was just blowing and blowing and blowing. Why did you send it to 75?

It was just trying to get it up. It was still chilly on my first floor. And so I'm like, well, this is great. Like, my heater's going out. And we'd been running it for two weeks straight. So I shut it down and I bought space heaters from Walmart. And I was like, all right, this is just how we're going to live until all this ice goes away. Well, yesterday, you know you were saying that it rained and it melted everything.

So I was like, you know what, this is a good time to just check the heater. Dude, it works. I turned it on. So what was the hiccats? The ice? I think it was frozen. outside and the fact that it wasn't five degrees yesterday and it was 40, it actually worked normal.

So I was thinking we're just going to be a space heater home for the rest of the winter. That's a big commitment. Which is a little scary, but. That's a fire risk, I feel like. Yeah, I know. I'm thinking too, though, like, isn't that going to be cheaper than running the heater? Plugging in two little space heaters?

Yeah, but you're not, everything's not going to be heated. You're just going to have two little space heaters and you're a family of six? And two little spaces are going to be heated. It's just the first floor, though. Oh, the upstairs is fine. Yeah, the upstairs one's fine. Oh, well, then yeah, maybe you're good. because at night you just turn them off.

I'm thinking I save a lot of money. But then you got to walk me down and turn them on before it gets warm again. Right. I'm like, no, don't, you're not going to do that. Don't do that. Okay. Tell me something good. Good job, everybody.

There you go. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,

Students in the auto tech program at Louisa County High School are learning how to actually fix cars, but they're also learning how to get back to the community.

So the program has 11th graders fixing not only cars that have been donated to give away, not only parts of from cars that dumps, but also teachers, other students, and other people's cars that, like a part of the school, they fix their cars for free. That's cool. That's crazy. That's, because the first parts I get, like you're taking an old-bed, but it's like if a teacher, if Mr. Tallisans, truck's got a muffler that's making noise, you go and you fix that for him. Right. But then it's also, there's oversight, right? It's like, it gets double-checked by the... I'm sure.

Yes. I think somebody check. I don't think they just like kids run and go away like, yeah, all good. I've never heard of that. That's awesome. That they actually help people at the school with their cars. So not only routine repairs, but they also restore cars I was talking about earlier, and they donate it to single mothers in need through an organization there.

Holy crap. That is a great story. WTVR. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good.

Last week, the Ice Storm hit Mississippi hard. Interstate 55 was just full of a bunch of stranded semi-trucks. But Clyde Bynum and his son, CJ, they saw the news. They're like, we need to jump in and help. They got their jeeps and ropes, and they went to the interstate and pulled out hundreds of 18-wheelers. Wow. In Jeeps, which is crazy. Like, I have a Jeep, and I'm like, I don't think I can pull an 18-wheeler out of anywhere.

I think it probably just needs a little boost. Yeah, a little bit, but they were saying too That a winch Some of these drivers had to spend the night in their trucks Because they were just stuck on the side of the road And so we saw a guy trying to take on a hill Most of the road was okay And we were driving and we saw up on the interstate

Most of the interstate was okay except the ramp It was uphill, this 18-level was like Ah, screw it, I'm going to try it. Done. Blocked the whole ramp too That's what Clyde was saying He said a lot of these trucks were trying to go up ramps and hills They got stuck, they slid off and they couldn't go anywhere

Good old Clyde. Yeah, and his son, CJ. Clyden, CJ. Probably Clyde Jr. Oh, good points, CJ. Oh, all. Clyde Jr. Yeah, there you go.

You didn't get that? No, no. Not a first. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying.
