Come on, Bobby. Welcome to Thursday show. Morning studio. Morning. You get to know your GTK question of the day. Who is in your? live to you want to thank right now. Who are you going to say thank you to right now? You can be anybody in the whole world, but you want to thank them.

All right, let's go. Amy? I'm going to do a thank you in advance to my sister because I'm about to hit her with a lot of questions as I move because I'm going to be moving. I'm going to be selling my house and be moving to a new house and she has all the style and design and arranging tips. She has a reality show everybody that doesn't know. That's a good thing to say to me.

Oh, yeah. Oh, she had, yeah, on HGTV. Yeah. But her and her husband, that's what they do. And it's not even just that I need new things at all. It's sort of, she's just really good at arranging things. Like, I'll put the same pieces of furniture in a room in one way, and she'll come in and just rearrange them, like, totally different.

I'm like, how did your brain even think of that? It's called establishing dominance. So in advance, I'd like to thank my sister for how much I'd be hitting her up in the next month or so. Lunchbox? I would like to thank the lifeguards out there. because the pools open this weekend. The city pools open and that means we can take the kids and we can wear them out and we can learn how to swim and we can have a great summer because the pools are about to open. Wear them out.

I like that. Yeah, that's important. And the ladies and the bikinis will be there. Let's go. Hello, mamas. You had to make it weird. Thank you. Thank you. Eddie?

I want to thank Max the streaming service for bringing back. one of my favorite shows that I thought was dead. Dude, in the early 2000s, I would watch every episode of Cold Case. You remember that show? Never watched it. Oh, it's so good. It would always start with like a music montage. So if the original crime happened in the 70s, it'd be Abba, Dancing Queen.

And there'd be these girls dancing, and then it would slowly fade away to like a girl dead in like the canal. And then you would go to current day and they'd be like, oh, remember that girl in the canal? We found something out. And they solve it. It's so good. And on Max now, they have the entire seasons. All of them, it's all on Max. So all the old ones, but they're making new ones?

No, no, no. They just brought back. They just brought back the old ones. Is that one of those shows? They would show on like one of those weird networks. Like a Fox business or a TLD. No, it's like CBS or something. This was a major network show.

Oh, what was? Yeah. Because sometimes they'll show like locked up or what are the prison shows are. Yeah, that's a good. Like, what is that on? I don't even know. Not to you? A&E. Maybe A&E.

But like, I never know the network, and I really don't flip through channels anymore because it's all streaming. Yeah, but Cold Case, too. But I would stop on that, that locked up, or Shark Tank is a show that I would do that too. And you're just going to watch it and watch it and watch it. Never know the network. But that's a cold case, huh? Cold Case, dude, I love it.

All right, I want to thank Carol Taylor, and I have a signed Larry Bird basketball right here, signed by Larry Bird, the basketball player. Ooh, let me see that. Now, nope. Now, let me tell you what happened. I had a Larry Bird basketball, and Eddie signed it accidentally. we were signing balls for our too much access show, which was basketball at the time. And my Larry Bird ball was on as a prop on our podcast set at my house.

But we were signing balls right by the chairs. And Eddie accidentally grabbed the ball, signed it. I still have the Larry Bird and Eddie signed ball. It was kind of mixed in with all the other balls. So it was an accident. Ruin my Larry Bird ball. Hilarious, tragic. But Carol sent me this ball signed by Larry Bird because Morgan, can you help me with this?

She has a relative that used to be in the Celtics. Yes. So her uncle used to be the, what's the religious thing for the Celtics? The religious? The priest? Yeah, I believe he was a priest for the Celtics. And for a long time, so he had a connection to the Celtics.

That was a ball about falling. I heard that. And she hit him up. And they're like, and she jumped through some hoops, got it signed, and then send it over to you. That's so nice. So Carol, thank you. She wrote a note. Sorry, I took so long for this to get to you.

I appreciate all you do. You're the best part of Monday through Friday. So I just wanted to do something for you to pay it forward. I hope this brightens your day. Thank you, Carol Taylor. That's very kind of you. And I will keep it far from Eddie. Okay, this is bothering me because it's chaplain, right?

Probably. Chaplin. Oh, yeah, that sounds more than right. Celtics, Catholic, I imagine. I'm not Catholic. Oh, maybe it is priest, but in my brain I couldn't think of like, you know. Why are you just yelling out the word Irish Catholic? Because Celtics, they're Irish.

But I mean, do you, okay. Like at a hospital they have, like, and it was bothering me to like I could. I was like, why is my brain not thinking of this word? It's chaplain. Okay. Thank you. Carol, that is super nice, super kind to you. I do not deserve it, but I will accept this gift

with humbly and lovingly. How's that? Usually I make fun of myself if I get a gift or something. I'm just going to accept it. So you drop the ball. Well, I fell off my desk. It's round. It rolls. Who knew? Let's open up the mailbag.

You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm a 67-year-old father to a wonderful daughter. She's decided to stay with her boyfriend who recently got out of jail for stealing $200,000 from his grandparents. Because of this, I do not want to leave her a large sum of money when I pass. My problem is, how do I tell her I'm removing her from my will? If I tell her, I'm scared she'll

hate me and end our relationship. But if I don't tell her now, she'll be disappointed whenever that time does come. Her boyfriend has already stolen $200 from her checking account since his release from jail. What is happening? He has a gambling problem, but continues to deny it. I cannot take the chance that he wouldn't steal it from her on a larger scale. She stands to inherit a lot of money. How do I tell her? I know I can set up a trust for her, but telling her my decision is the difficult problem.

Signed, planning ahead in Florida. Well, here's the first thing you should know. What? Here's the first thing you should know, bro. When you die, it will matter to you. Well, that's true. So don't worry about it. That's surprise.

He ain't going to affect you at all. You're dead. A little bit of it. You just have to decide you and your daughter in that relationship and what you want to leave her and don't base it on exterior factors like her boyfriend that could change. It really could change.

But also, she's with the thing. the free and loser. Yeah, he steals. Yes, that's it. She's a loser. You can't fix that. You're not going to be able to fix who your daughter is with. Not at this point if they're adults.

Leave her in the will. You're dead. If he steals him when you're dead, again, it doesn't matter. Sure, you're gone. You don't want to hurt that relationship with your daughter and don't make a decision on the future of your daughter based on factors that may not even exist in the future with your daughter, like a loser boyfriend. But could a conversation like this, like maybe spur her, should

to be like, oh, maybe I should break up with him. I think she knows. I think he comes out of jail and she steals from him. I think she probably already knows. Okay. Yeah. She's just with a loser. But don't let that affect your relationship with her and something that doesn't involve him because he may not be around. I'll tell you what, leave me. Leave me to me. Leave it to me. Leave money to me in your will.

You'll be the executor. No, I just want the money. And if I feel she's doing a good job on a crummer, a bread crumber, a breadcrummer, leave her what you were going to leave her. You can't predict what's going to happen in the future with her boyfriend. if she's smart, she'll dump them. And if not, God love them. But that's not really your problem. You're dead.

And it really won't be your problem. Yeah, you're dead. That's the beauty of death, I guess. Or you can just set up a full trust and then let that be a half surprise to her. What does that mean? Yeah, I don't know what that is. This is the trust dictating when it goes out, who it goes to, how much at a time, at what age, ex person gets X money type of thing.

You can do that. And again, she won't be totally maddy. You should may be annoyed, but she will be totally madder to dead dad. You got $20 a week. Yes. But it's 100 if you're not with him. Yes. Yeah, that's a tough one.

I would say, don't worry about him. You can't predict the future, so don't try. So do what you would do even if you wasn't in the picture. They're not married. If they were married, it'd probably be a little different. They're not married. Thank goodness. All right, there you go.

Close it up. We got your email and we let it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's Mail back. Yeah. Here is Alyssa from. I have a question for the parents in the room. I have a two and a half year old and I lately have noticed that when he is not in a car with me, I'm listening to a lot of heavy metal and rap music, which I think I'm drawn to because

normally we're listening to kids' songs all day. Do any of you do something similar when your kids are not in the car and what are your kind of go-to genres or artists? Love the show. Well, that would be a nightmare to have young kids and have to listen to playing down. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Amy? I listen to pretty much everything now. Your kids are older now, too. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. My daughter likes to listen to Nicky Mnage and more so I listen to more hardcore stuff when she's in the car. Yeah.

Amy's daughter listens to hardcore stuff. She's not with Amy because she's listening to playing stuff. Eddie? No, I believe we have a responsibility to teach our kids the music. So I teach them all the classics. I mean, dude, from when they were little, I start with the Beatles. I go to the Beach Boys. I go to Elvis.

and by the time they're like five, they know everyone. Do they ever get annoyed like Dad's teaching us Billy Joel? No, because I'll give him the phone and be like, all right, so-and-so, you're picking the music for like the next 10 minutes and they go straight to Elvis. And they never get annoyed. You want to give them old school stuff. No, dude, they love it. They love it.

I'm telling you. And maybe my 16-year-old, he'll be the only one like, hey, dad, can I play like some hip-hop? Like that, he's the only one that has like special requests for what he wants to hear. The rest? I think I've trained him well. Watchbox? Man, I ride the silence. He hates music. That's right.

I don't understand that. I'll be honest. He runs in silence. He rides in silence. I like silence. And sometimes when the kids are in the car, they'll say, hey, can we turn on some music, which makes me question their DNA. But I put on anything.

I'll put on hip-hop, whatever. But you don't care. I don't care. I just turn it to a station and like, all right, cool, here, listen to this. But your wife loves music, so that's kind of half their DNA. Right them, yeah. Right. Do you have, and I'm asking this because I didn't know some people didn't have this.

Do you have an internal monologue or an internal dialogue? What do you mean? Well, I guess monologue would be your, you're not talking to yourself. So an internal, like, dialogue with yourself. Oh, sometimes. Do you ever not have one? Yeah, like when I'm watching TV or something or, like when I'm out for a run, I'm that man, this is a nice run.

You're running a good pace. Oh, look at that. So that's having one. That's a cool house or like. Do you ever not have one? Yeah. Like when I'm watching TV, I'm just watching TV. When he's distracted.

Does he sound like you? Like, does he yell at you? My guy? No, no, no, lunchboxes. Does he yell like, hey, look, that's a nice. house. Like, you yell at everyone else, so does your monologue yell you? Yeah, does your inner, inner voice sound like your voice?

No, I don't know. It's like a sexy British woman. He changes it like we do our GPS. I don't really understand what the question. Mine doesn't sound like anything. Mine sounds exactly like me. It does. And mine's like two of me.

They're both talking at the same time half the time. It's like, I don't know, do this. I don't do this. I guess I just hear the, I just know their words, but I don't know that I hear it. So I started to watch these TikToks about, and I was shocked that some people do not have this. They don't have an internal monologue or dialogue if you think you're talking with yourself. Don't know what it is. But they don't have that internal voice, and they just are their voice.

When they think something, they say something. But there's not like things happening, ideas. There's not like internal arguments. I wonder if I should do this. And they say that for the most part of the people that have way less are the people that are, way less stressed. And that that voice is stress. That voice is

all the things that could possibly go right or wrong that you're running through a hundred times over. That's what they mean when they say like you're in your own head because like you're whatever's happening in your head talking to yourself,

whatever it is you're thinking, you're worrying about something. 30 to 50% of people don't have an inner voice. That's wild to me. Like two of my kids, they'll be like just staring off into like the clouds and I'll be like,

what are you thinking about? Nothing. And I'm so shocked. Because if I'm staring at the clouds, I'm thinking about something. That's the only time I'm staring off. But them, no, they can stare at the clouds and not think about a single thing. Can you not think about anything? Yeah.

Like, I can sit in the backyard and just sit there and kids are running around. I'm just like chilling. Would you define yourself as stressed in any way? Like in life? No. No. There's nothing to be stressed about. In life?

Right. But what about any sort of aspirations? You can't stress about that. If it happens, it happens. Okay, let's not say stress. Let's say intensely focus on. Oh, no, I'm not intensely focused on anything. Nothing?

No, nothing. Like, what are you intensely focused on? Like, money's always kind of a thing. I'm just like, man, how am I going to pay for this? So that sounds like stress. Yeah, always. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, see, I don't stress about that.

I just figured I figured out. My kid, like finals are coming up, like, is he going to do well? Like, how's he going to do? Stress out about it, yeah. You? Why do I say that? That's so stupid. Really? But I don't loop as much as I used to.

You're right. Like if I was, when I had a little bit more anxiety and I would loop thoughts over and over and over. And I've gotten that under control. So that's better. So sometimes I'm thinking thoughts. Sometimes it's like, oh, should I go do that right now? Maybe I shouldn't do that. If I go do that, then I do this.

Oh, what about in the fall if I do, oh, and then we do the podcast thing. You go all the way to the fall? And then, oh, yeah, if I could get this person. Yeah. I mean, and then it bounces back to the past, present, future, all the place. Yeah, it's, you know, it keeps me busy. No, man, he chills. I wish I had more of that.

Like, that is something I'm envious of lunchbox of. He can just chill. Yeah, just chill. I mean, a little bit of stress is my fantasy baseball team. I mean, that's what I'm, you know. I feel like I have a round table of six of me sitting around a table. Like, you're all talking. Like yelling at each other about different things and fighting what the meeting's even going to be about.

But yeah, no, I wish I had less of an internal voice. voice. 30 to 50% don't have one. Anybody else not have an internal voice? Everybody does

except a lunchbox. I hear guys, voice talks to you all the time. Yeah. Yeah. The whole time I'm sitting here. Mine's talking to me

in Spanish, right? Really? No, that's me, dude. Oh, that was you talking? Oh, my way. All right. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie.

Get home. It's not been good. The pizza Roma is a pizza shop and they get a call one day, right? And they're like, oh, I'd like to order 16 pizzas. They go, okay.

No problem. Put the order in. Put the pizzas in the oven. They're ready to go. No one picks them up. And didn't pay for them. Did not pay for them. They're like, oh my gosh, this is like $200 worth of pizzas.

So they go on social media and say, hey, if anyone like maybe forgot their pizzas, like we made these pizzas, they're here, they're ready for you. And it happened for like a week. No one ever came up and claimed the pizzas until one guy says, you know what, man, I love you guys. I love your place. I'm an army veteran. I like to do good things for people.

Let me pay for the pizzas. I didn't order him. So he went and he paid $200 for all the pizzas. I feel like they should do some sort of, if it's like more than four pizzas, some sort of deposit or pay for them all. Yeah, yeah, or don't start the order unless you know it's for real, for real. Well, yeah, but that's how you get a deposit. Yeah. Or paying for it at all.

But I guess if I order a pizza now, we pay for it all up front. Yeah. Maybe just some local chains still do it the old-fashioned way. Sure. Which I would say don't do all-fashioned anymore. Be new fashion. What about Amy's pizzas? Like how- When they ordered them to her house and she moved?

They must have been doing it old-fashioned way. No, they could have paid for it. They were paid for. Yeah. And they brought them and dropped them off at her house. And Amy's like, I don't know who those are for it. And I'm going to move. And she moved.

Who would pay for those just to drop them off and like weird am you out? You're paying for a joke. That's an expensive joke. How many pizzas was it? I think it's from four different places. I don't remember exactly. 80 bucks for a joke. It was like.

And it's going to make her move out of her house. That's a pretty sound investment. Because the first time it was like, I thought an accident. It was like Papa Johns. And then like the next week, Pisa for Amy from Domino's. I'm like, what?

And then, and it was like different, like different name, different credit cards or I can't remember something like because I could have, looking at the receipt to see if there was similarities and I couldn't match anything. So how long until you moved and you thought I can't handle this?

Well, was that in combination of a letter that was put in my mailbox. So my mailbox was up at my, so I had a little fence around my front. yard. So you have to go through the fence and up to the mailbox, which was attached by my front door. And you lift up the lever and put a letter inside. And I got this note. And I'm like, this is. So do you like pizza? This is odd that like you're someone found where I lived and is dropping me notes now. So that's weird. And then at the time when I was married, Ben was going to

Afghanistan like a lot. And so I was alone and I was like, I am leaving. So I talked to Daniel from TIG and Daniel, who I've often said probably. was the mastermind, him or lunchbox. And Daniel has said, I'll come to a lie detector. Like, I did not do this. He's like, I will show up because he lives in Tulsa now. I will drive to Nashville, take a lie detector. I don't think he did it anymore.

I think lunchbox did it. I mean, he hasn't said anything this whole time. I know, I think lunchbox did it. But okay, Eddie, great story. Good for that guy. Do you know the guy's name again? Yeah, Travis Tuesday. He's the one that stepped up and paid for that.

Travis, good dude. 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 what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions,

Hey this song There are a couple life hacks from Amy The first one you've done Yes What is it? Ice Cube and the burger Like when you put the burger When you put the burger on

the grill, like it's in its paddy. You just take an ice cube and stick it in the center of the paddy and then grill, flip accordingly to whatever you want, although I do think you should cook a burger well done. What does it do? It makes it more juicy. Can you just pour water on it though?

That'd be the same thing. But the ice cube, that would pour water all over your grill. Like the ice cube is contained in there and then it spreads out evenly as the ice cube melts. And it's just this juicy, delicious burger. So as you're making the paddy. Because Eddie's a big grill guy here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's getting offended and you're bringing stuff to the table. I'm just, I'm interested here. If you put, as you're making the paddy, do you put the ice cube in there? Right before you put it on the grill? You could do it that way, like put it in the middle. Or once you lay the patty on the grill, this is what we did. We just had the ice cube and then just right in the middle where you can still see the ice cube. Would you have known it was extra juicy?

Had you not known there was an ice cube put on it? I don't know. Or were you like, wow, let's see if this, mm, I date. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's a good point. I don't know because, like, I knew it was there, but I could tell something was also different. It makes sense, though, to add juice, makes it juicy. Sure, a little water.

So, okay, ice cube on the burger. And what is your second life act? Well, I keep seeing that people go into the shower with their jeans because the washing. Where are you holding them? Well, I could never shower with my jeans on. I wouldn't be able to get them off. But you just take them into the shower with you and clean them in there. and then hang them to dry.

Because what's happening with our jeans in the washing machine is like they're getting like stretched and pulled and they just get messed up. So you take them in a shower. That way they're not, they don't get tangled up by the washing machine and damaged, I guess, is what people were saying. And then you do the soap and you rinse them out. You still do so. And hang them to dry. Yes, yes.

You can, I guess, take your laundry detergent in there. It's like a lot of work. Maybe you can use your bar soap. It's a lot of work. Whatever you can clean the certain parts that you want to clean. What else we do? Driving our car in there next? What else we're washing in there?

I don't know. It was like the guy that founded Levi's that was first talking about it or something. It was like washing machines are damaging the jeans. So just take your jeans into the shower with you. What if you wear them into the shower and scrub them while they're on you? You could do that, but could you get your pants off?

I guess yours are not. It's too early in the morning for that. I guess you're happening. He's married. Yours are not as tight. Never heard it, but if I look it up on TikTok, a lot of people are doing it. Yeah.

Thank you for the life hacks. That's Amy. I asked some messages from listeners calling me a loser. So what I did on my Instagram, which is Mr. Bobby Bones, I posted kind of a highlight reel of me going, hey, I want to play on somebody's rec softball team. Here's some clips of me playing softball. Like we're in recruits. We're trying to get recruited by college.

Yeah, it's a professional video. Well, it's our show too much access, but I was playing ball. I just took clips from it. And I was like, I want to play in somebody's team. I think I'm going to play on their softball team. Really? When? Why are you laughing?

Because I just don't know, wait. Like, when are you going to do this? Like, how do you add this to your schedule? Like, for real? Oh, that's your question. Yeah. You'll squeeze it in. Can we buy tickets?

I don't believe they're ticketed. Oh. Bums, this is what you've been training for. I think it's open to the public. Let's go. So the guy messaged me said, we play on this certain night. And I said, what time? He told me, I said, I think I'm in.

So not confirmed yet, but I'll let you guys know. And I posted a video because I tore my shoulder, like a couple little mini, me, mini, mini, minor tears of my rotator cuff. And I didn't happen in the yard playing catch about every day. We'd just get the ball and throw it around in the yard. And people are like, you're not kids, you're adult men. No, you just sit around and play catch. Yeah, but Bobby really didn't have a dad growing up, so I kind of feel like that's my responsibility too. Stop.

Can't use that as an excuse me. How did you determine which team you went with, man? Are you telling your wife that? Is that what you're telling your wife? Hold on, standby. We got two questions going here. I'm going to go over first to lunchbox. Go ahead.

How did you determine which team you went with? Because I'm sure more than one listener offered you a spot on their team. Because this is a co-ed rec team, or I know that I will take it seriously, but I don't want to show up and suck on a really good team. I think I'm okay. And so I was like, it sounds fun. And he's like, you can play first base.

We have it open. I'm left-handed. I just play first base or outfield. So I got some wills on me, but I'm going to play first base. And I think that's what I'm going to do. Like, do they practice during the week too?

So you have games? That's a great question. They must practice. I don't think so. But you just show up and like know how to work together. Well, it's baseball. It's baseball. I know.

There are plays. You kind of know what to do when the ball gets hit. I don't even know yet. I haven't played a single game. But what's your team name? I don't know anything about it. If I can't commit. All I said was if it's a 9 o'clock game, I can't play.

Are they younger, older? No, I did. Didn't even look at the person's profile. I just blindly said, I think I'm in because I want to play that bad. And I had some other people offer, but this person felt, I was just in the mood when I got that one. And Amy, your question was? You're playing catch with Addy in the backyard. And it's like, okay, you're not a child.

Stop playing catch. And you said, why don't have a dad growing up? So, like, if your wife is like, hey, it's time to come in. for dinner. I'm like, can I find more minutes? It's not dark yet all the way. Do you say, remember, I didn't have a dad and this is me catching up on that? She knows. Do you remember Field of Dreams at the very end where he's like, you know, playing catch with his dad? That's kind of what it's like in the backyard, dude. Eddie's the ghost. So Eddie needs to get home to his family, but he's like, you know, I'm just got to be dad to Bobby right now.

We're like in a time machine right now. We play catching a time machine in the yard. Here's Amy's pile of stories. All right, I have relationship rules that actually work. So I'll run through them. You tell me how you... The rules I have now, maybe you could use some updating. All right. Fights should be about solving the problem, not winning. Winning only.

You know what solves the problem? Winning. Yeah? Yeah. But that's not just in a relationship. That's all life. But I'm not saying that's good... The healthy thing.

Yeah, right. No, you should be about... For me, it's healthy, though. Solving the problem. I hear you. Go ahead. Never bring up past arguments as ammo in a current fight. I'm not very good at that rule.

Yeah. Yeah, we know that one. I tend to keep notes on everything. All of you. Really? Us? Yeah. But once it's forgiven, then we need to... But I highlight it and say forgiven, but I bring it up, is I've forgiven you for this, but remember this?

That's not forgiveness. That's not? No. Okay, okay. I love this one just in any situation in life, but assume the best, assume good intent, until other evidence is given. Like, assume the best in people. But the evidence is while we're fighting. But what if you're the one at fall?

That's never the case. Or like, don't get mad at them for something when you don't know the full story. It's like assume the best in that person and then maybe you can find resolve that. That's a human nature thing. I think I try to do that, but I don't do a very good job of it. Okay, what about this one? Don't expect them to read your mind. I do with my wife, just not with you guys.

This is a universal fighting thing for me, but go ahead. Yeah, don't expect them to read your mind and don't play mind reading games yourself. Oh, yeah. I expect my mind to be fully read and predicted. But I can't. But I guess I don't expect it consciously, but we're together all the time. I'm like, oh, she definitely knows I do this or think this. And it's not fair.

I would have, I suck at these rules. All of them. It's honestly why it stood out to me. I know some of your ways. You need to stop. Go ahead. Only because you've shared. Okay.

What can I do to help is way more powerful than why didn't you? Powerful in what way? I feel better after why didn't you. I feel more powerful when I say why didn't you. Yeah, but you could come along and say, hey, well, how can I help you with this? But most fights aren't. How can I help you with this? Most fights are, I'm sorry I didn't clean my feet before.

I went to bed. That's all me. Does it work to say like, what do you want me to do? Oh, it doesn't. Because I'll do the thing. I'm so terrible to fight with. I'm like, just tell me what to say and I'll say it to you. Right. That's what I'm saying. Isn't that the same is what you said? I'll learn from this, but I don't want to be here anymore. So just tell me what to say. It's like, then you don't mean it. But then there's no way I can possibly say it

because I've already said to tell me what to say. These are just rules in a relationship. Not all of them pertain to fighting. It's like, you could get mad. Like, Caitlin could see you did something weird that you never do with the laundry or the dishes or whatever. And she could be. like, why didn't you do it this way? She could say, how can I help you learn how to do this right way? I mean, I don't like your tone.

How can you help? What do you mean by that? Yeah, okay. So have you ever been told facts? No printer? Well, yeah, I send fax emojis. When it's like, you know, that's correct. I send over a fax machine.

What? F-A-X. Yeah, send a fax machine. You do? Yeah. All of us millennials do that. Oh, okay. Gen Zers.

Okay. My wife does it all the time to me. She sends fax machine. If something she's a lot. says and it turns out to be true. She doesn't be a fax machine. So I just started doing it because she does it all the time. Yeah. So if your younger friends or your kids are saying facts and then they add no printer, it's just a way of saying like this is legit the truth. Like what I'm saying is like I don't even need to print it out. I'm just going to bump it right

on over to you via fax. Fax. Facts. So complicated. Okay. What else? So the boot.com had this whole story about what album you can't live without like if you're on a deserted island and you only get one album the rest of your life what will be and they asked Luke Holmes about it and he said it'd either be Tom Petty or the Eagles. That's not an album. Well. And can you say greatest hits? Because I don't feel like I had that question. You can never say greatest hits.

He did. He said it had to be greatest hits because you get more bang for your buck. But that's not it. It's an album. Like you have to pick a literal album. Oh, because I was going to say George Strait box set. Oh my gosh. This is my whole career. You never actually get through it. Yeah, I don't think you can pick a

Greatest Hits for that question. What album do you take, Amy? No greatest hits allowed. All I have is I'd have to look up what the... Hmm. I'd just look up what the album's called. Maybe a George Strait album. Yeah.

Yeah. Bob Marley. Exodus. Is it because you're on an island? Yeah, because I'm going to be on an island and I want Bob Marley's... No, 247. No, man. Stranded?

No. Lunchbox? I guess an M&M album. Not a big music guy, huh? I don't even know the name of one. No, there's one called, I think there's one called Curtin Call. Yeah, that's not the one you want. No, I don't think that's one.

Marshall Mathers L.P. Is that what it's called? Well, yeah, well, there's a few or an earlier one. But I'm just saying I was impressed I knew the name of an album. Yeah. I'd probably go probably like Counting Crows across a live wire. Ooh, a live album. No, but that's the greatest hits.

So I'm probably going to go Counting Cuts. Yeah, that's Cheat. August and everything after. I do that. August and everything after. Or Casey Musgraves, like, same trailer, different parts. That's a good one, man. But I can't do, too.

That's cheating. I'm going counting crows. And that's their first one? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right, Amy, is that it? I'm Amy. That's my pile.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. The Sepulpa families in the news because their entire community stepped up. So they had a service dog and went them for a bit, helped them for different medical reasons. And the dog went missing after a car crash. So Brian Ainsworth was driving his car.

The steering wheel fell apart. It was an old rebuilt car. The steering wheel comes apart. Can you imagine? Oh, my goodness. It's like a cartoon. He crashed into a creek and then he pushed his way out of the wreck. Their dog, Tango, who obviously was freaked out by this, but was a service dog, took off running.

His wife shows up and he's all crying, not so much because the car, but because the dog's gone. And so they get on social media and they're like, hey, Tango, our service dog is gone. So people that had never even met them showed up. And they started a huge search party in the community. And they ended up finding Tango. Somebody didn't even know found Tango because the picture they posted and they ended up coming to the search and Tango's back as a service dog with the family. Because of somebody who did not even have a relationship but just saw somebody needed help.

Also, the steering wheel coming off. Holy crap. Freak out. What? Did you forget to like screw? Was that a bowl? Wow. That's from News on Six.

And shout out to the Sepulah family and everybody in the neighborhood there in Oklahoma. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win.
