When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed. I will be his last. target. He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that, trust your girlfriends. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Wood. My next guest, it's Will Ferrell.

My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot. But if you ever reach a point, where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that.

There's a lot of luck. Listen to thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Thursday show, Morning Studio. Morning. You're not coaching your kids, right? Not coaching. Eddie's not the coach anymore, but you go?

I used to be the coach, but now I'm just the dad that kind of helps out if you need me. Are you adding input, though, they don't ask for? No, no, no. They always just say, like, what do you think, Coach Eddie? And then I kind of tell them, like my opinion. You still call Coach Eddie? Absolutely. What happened at your last game?

Bizarre. So it was a game, and these two players, one on our team and one on the other team, were fighting for the ball. It was like a jump ball, right? They both had the ball, and they're both pooling and tugging. And then finally the kid on the other team who was humongous. He was two times bigger than our biggest player. And he lets go the ball and swings a punch.

Full swing misses our kid by an inch. Like if he would have made contact for sure 100% our kid would have been knocked out. And the refs start blowing the whistle. And they go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then, you know, it's so, at that point it's quiet. And the refs looks at both kids says, calm down. You calm down. Everybody good?

Someone actually tried to throw a punch. Dude, it was a full swing punch, a haymaker. And then the ref says, both of you guys are out for five minutes. And he sits both of them out. And the kid on our team's like, what did I do? I was fighting for a jump ball. And he just sat him out, and both players got to play again. All us parents were shocked that this kid was able to play the rest of the game.

I'm surprised no parents ran on the court once a fist was thrown. Yeah. Nobody ran out on the court. You think. So the parents of the big kid, did you see them? No. How are they acting? Okay, so you don't know.

You can kind of hear the dad just being like, hey, stop that. So was he coming down on his son in a negative way? Just like that, though. Like, stop that. But he didn't run down to the court or anything to talk to his kid or anything. So what was the controversy in your mind? The controversy in my mind was how do you let that kid stay in the game? Like, he should have just immediately been ejected.

parents take him home, he's no longer playing this game. And then you can figure out what he's going to do for the rest of the season. Yeah, I agree with that. What's the age of the kid? 11. Yeah, you're kind of smart at basketball by 11, 12. Like that's when you first start getting smart at basketball, where the goals are now 10 feet. Yeah, yeah.

It's full on basketball. Yeah, I'm just thinking, like, if your takeaway from that is like, oh, if I punch somebody and then I just get to sit out for five minutes and I play again, like, what's going to keep him from punching again? Now, he didn't hit him, but it doesn't matter. Trying to punch. If you throw a punch, you should be a punch. You should be ejected immediately. It was a punch that would have knocked this kid out like for two minutes.

And it wasn't, it wasn't your kid. No, it wasn't my kid. What if it would have been your kid? I would have ran on the court. Just instantly would have ran on the court and just pulled my kid. And maybe even taking my kid home. Like, I don't want to plan on the rest of the game. Don't do that.

That's wimpy, wimpy. Wait, because your kid, wait, are you asking him if he's? No, no, the one that almost got hit. If this kid would have got hit, you don't grab. your kid and take him off. Yeah. You make sure he's okay and you're like, all right, sometimes in life, adversity happens, pain happens, and I get back out there and play unless you're injured.

You didn't do anything wrong, so let's go. It's a question too, are you hurt or are you injured? If he's hurt, okay, well, take a minute and then you get back out there. If you're injured, you can't go back out there. Because the kid on our team that almost got hit, he, like, emotionally, I don't think even could have played. He was just crying and very upset. I suppose they didn't eject the kid.

Lunchbox, if you were there and that had been your kid who was swinging or what you have done? Nothing. I let the ref handle it. What if the ref would have said everybody stays in the game? It's fine with me. What if you'd have been the other way and your kid was the one that got swung at? I'd get out of the ref.

Hey, that guy needs to be out of here. But maybe the ref didn't see it. We all saw it. Maybe he didn't see the swing. No, no, no, we all saw it because once they were fighting for the ball, all attention was on them. That swing, after like nine, you go home. At nine, you get pulled out of the game

and you probably watch the rest of the game. and you probably watch the rest of the game without going back in the game. But as a young child in sports, you have to learn lessons differently. Like you don't get to play anymore and you're out of this game, but you have to sit here and watch.

They go home at 11. What do you think about the rest of the season? No. No. I think if it's a second offense, a third offense, then you're talking about being suspended for a season. His last time wasn't more than like Jonathan,

Draymond Green, right? There wasn't anything like that. It wasn't a swing like you would take. That wasn't his dad or anything like that? I can see why parents would get all flipped out over that kind of stuff. It was bizarre. I've done basketball for a lot of years and I've never seen that.

I have a feeling you're trying to coach while you're there and you're not even the coach. No, no, no, no, dude. Even called yourself, Coach Eddie. I know. No, that's what they call me. Mm-hmm. Bobby Bones. This weekend, my girlfriend has told me she's going out for a girl's night.

It's on Saturday. Great for her. Glad she's doing it. Things turned backward, though, when I told her that it would be a great opportunity for me to get together with some of the guys for a guy's night. Her mood completely changed. Now she wants to know where we'll be going exactly, what we'll be doing, and who I'll be doing it with.

I told her we haven't decided on anything yet, but that doesn't seem to be good enough. Now she's implying that I'm hiding something. The whole thing has taken me a bit by surprise, and I've never seen the side of her. How much of a problem is this? How do I diffuse it? Signed, guy that wants a guy's night out.

Okay, there are a couple things that I would ask yourself first. Have you done anything to make her question you? If that answer is yes, then this makes sense. So if in the past, you've lied to her by going somewhere, you cheated on, or if any of that has happened and the answer is yes, this makes sense and you've got to build your trust back. Now, if you've selected no where none of that has happened, there's a couple other things

we need to evaluate here. People that are often accusatory, especially in a relationship, are often hiding things themselves. So if you've done nothing to be like, ah, yeah, I messed up. I got to be on my trust back. She's questioning you because she's probably up to no good. That could be one of the things. It's like in a relationship with somebody's like, you're cheating and you're not, they're probably cheating. So that is one of the elements in play. Number two is, well, I'll go to you, Amy, before I give you all three of my theories. Well, I was thinking, does she have any experience from a past relationship where a guy's weekend went wrong. Great point. Great point. So that's just triggering to her. So you need to

just understand that for a second. Yes. I'm glad I went to you. And she may not be in her rational brain, but she can get there. Yeah. Okay. So if you find the root of it that, that, that hurts the guy's feelings. Let's say that you and I are together, Amy, and you're mad at me because I'm going out. And I'm like, well, why are you, why are you mad? And you're like, well, Eddie, you like, Eddie cheated on me back in the day, talking about yourself. Then I'm like, why do you still care about Eddie? No, it's not about caring about Eddie. It's my name. It's my name. nervous system is recognizing a familiar behavior and I'm immediately taken back to those feelings. And so what I have to do is come to the present and know that I don't have any trust issues

with you and I need to rewire my brain towards trust and my nervous system, giving my nervous system that experience for a guy's weekend to go positive. So therefore I have that as a memory instead of the negative. So these are basically the same thing. So number one, either she's cheating on you or someone cheated on her in the past and she's feeling that, right? The other one is your friends are idiots and they've done idiotic things. Because she wants to know who you're going to be with. And if that's the case, think about your friends that you're going out with. If one of them is like a troublemaking idiot who like goes to the clubs where people

you got to go to her and be like, I know. He's a moron, but we're going to make sure that we're not moronic like that. So I would think it would be one of those three things. Yeah. So you're going to have to find out where you are. It's like that chart where it's like if it's yes, you go this way. If it's no. So if yes, you've done something shady in the past, that's why she has the right to feel that way until you can earn your trust back.

If no, well, why is she feeling this way? Is it because she has or she is and is worried about it? Two, like Amy said, someone did to her in the past or three, you have idiot friends. Or three and a half, you're also an idiot, buddy. What if also like you're the guy, you're that guy that we're talking about? And you go out and you make bad decisions, not even cheating, but like you drink too much. He smoked too much. Too much. Yeah, good luck.

Yeah, good luck. If it's none of those, you have to do a relationship reset on situations like this because this is not a healthy place and it's going to be hard for you guys to move forward in a healthy way. Yeah. Because that's just jealousy. But it's coming from a place. This is manifesting itself from somewhere in her. You got to figure out where that is and what that is. Oh, I just thought of another option.

Go ahead. Her dad went awry on a guy. guys night. Okay. That's too much. That's too much. Her dad. Her dad cheated on her mom so now she on a guy's night. I don't know guys weekend and then it ruined her childhood. I'm just saying. Okay. I'll give you three C on that one. I thank you for that. You got to get to the root because here's the overlying message. Get to the root because this will be something in your relationship forever if you don't. Thank you. A win is a win. A win. A win. I don't care. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.

In 2020, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth.

You doctored this particular test twice in someone, correct? I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg, a lesbian, Michael Marantini.

My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield. And in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man.

A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. They said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves.

Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everyone? I'm Ago Wadam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever.

I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place they come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry. about you, which is really sweet. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall

and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. It's cold out in a lot of places in the country. So USA Today posted a list of things you should never leave in your car when it's below freezing out. A baby. A dog. I feel like that's a given. Loved ones does make the list. Oh, really?

I was just kidding. Yeah. Kids, pets, seniors, they're more vulnerable to cold weather. So even if it's a short amount of time is what they're referring to, you may not. not want to leave them in if you're running into doing errand, and it may take longer than you think. Senior. I left my toast in my car for like 30 minutes. I forgot it.

It came back and it was not as warm and delicious as it was. Is that on there? No. No. But other food items, eggs don't leave them in the car after you get groceries. If they freeze, the shells crack and then they're not safe to eat. Would not have thought that. We had some, what's the app we used for groceries?

Instacart. Yeah, Instacart. And my wife was like, hey, get the groceries. In my head, I'm like, I'll get them like. 20 minutes, it's cold outside. They're not going to spoil. Right. Eggs were in there, never checked them. Yeah. Better check on. Same thing with canned food because the cold can make the food inside expand and it causes tiny cracks where bacteria gets in. That has to be overnight or something, right? Well, yeah, I mean, if it gets below freezing and

there and swells up. Aerosol cans, they can explode if they get too cold. Oh no, my hair sprays is outside right now. Guys, I got to go. You're awkward on that. Electronics, like phones, computers, tablets. They don't work if they get too cold. And lastly, medication. Because some of them, or unusable if it gets too cold. So when in doubt, toss frozen meds. When in doubt, bring your Viagra in from the barn. For them in the barn. Yes. So if your password is on this list, change it now. Because this is equal to leaving your door unlocked. Is it all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ABC, Def, J.K.L, semi-colon, all those. Yeah, are those yours? No, but those are the ones that people that are lazy do.

I know, but people still have these. And yes, it's like going to bed at night. This is from Forbes. all these take less than one second to crack and you wouldn't go to bed at night with your doors unlocked? I disagree. I believe if I tried to crack it, it would take more than one second. Because for sure I'd typo, ABC, to EFG. But I guess if it's someone with a, you know, like a system, a computer, when they're like... They know what they're doing. Yeah, I just like hack an account. And they're going, burt-da-da-da-da-da-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-a-oh.

Oh, the same of my women's deodorant I have that I wear every morning. Exactly. Look at this. I got my secret. It's secret powder, fred. pH balance for a woman. So maybe if you type out all of that, you're good. That's a good point. Secret.

1, 3, 4, 5, 6, password, 1, 2, 4, 5. And then ABC, 1, 2, 3. That's a good song now. That's a good song now. Yeah, so change your passwords, people. And then if you're trying to eat more vegetables or you want to get your kids to eat more veggies, this whole study was done where researchers spent 20 minutes

reading kids' fairy tales that involved magical fruits and veggies. And then the hero was either healed or saved because they ate these magical fruits and veggies. And then after the storytelling was done, they offered kids fruit, vegetables, cake, or cookies. What do you think they chose? I'm sure the vegetables. Yeah. I'm sure. But this same strategy is done to us on a much higher level.

Like what? With social media news, any sort of misinformation, disinformation. It's the same thing. Tell us a story about something. Give us some information. And we'll be drawn. 20 minutes. We'll be drawn to it.

But not vegetables, we won't fall for that. No, I mean, but you might. I'm be honest with you. I thought forever if you ate spinach, you got big muscles like Popeye. That's true. I thought, too, that you ate carrots. It helped your eyesight. But why that happened is back in maybe World War II, possibly World War I.

I believe it was the British. You'd have to find out what you, but the whole thing was they were trying to hide the fact that they had technology that could see at night. So they just started the, hey, if you eat carrots, you eat carrots, you get better vision to actually explain why they were doing better wartime shooting at night. Because they were eating carrots? Yeah, yeah, that was the whole thing. We're good. We're just eating carrots.

That literally was it. That's crazy. There's got to be a vitamin in there that helps your eyes, though, right? Eating carrots does not help improve vision. I thought that forever. I still believe you don't ruin this for me. But that's the root of it. And again, I don't have the exact story.

But it comes from one of the World Wars where there was a certain country that started to say, if you eat carrots, it will help your vision. but why they were saying that because they claimed to eat a bunch of carrots, they were just hiding that they had the technology to see at night. Yeah, they're like, don't try to figure out anything. They're like, it's just carrots while we're winning the war, guys. Eat more carrots, maybe win World War III. Yeah.

Okay. I made me. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. This is straight out of a movie. It was a foggy morning in Washington State and Chris B and Arkeem Young are driving in a semi-truck.

and they pull up to a railroad track and there's already a semi truck across the track so they just pull up behind it they look over to the right here comes the train but it's foggy so all they see is a light they don't know how close it is until the passenger guy goes

dude it's so close and they get out of the truck and they run and they're five seconds away of getting smashed and as soon as they get outbones there's video of it the train comes and smashes the truck I see I need you to explain this to me though because one it sounded like a tug

boat when you were doing the sound. Well, I was trying to do a train, but... Yeah. So how do they end up on the tracks, meaning the truck ahead of them was off the tracks? Yeah, but it was stops. It was waiting on a light, at a light. And so they got up to it, and then they couldn't back up because there was somebody behind them. Because there were people behind them at that point.

And then they really didn't realize how close the train was until they realized it was very close. And yeah, five seconds, if they would have stayed in the truck, boom, they wouldn't have been around. And if it were me, I'd have been like, why am I getting out of the truck? there's a tugboat coming. I would have heard that. And it was an Amtrak. So, like, the train had passengers in it, which is crazy.

I'm watching the hit. I'm watching it. Wow. Yeah. Here comes the train. I hear the train. I hear the train coming. Boom.

And it hits the front part of it. It doesn't even hit the cargo. It hits the cab. Trailer. It doesn't hit the trailer. Yeah, it hits the cab. Wow. And so, like, what's the train sound?

Like, choo-choo! That would have been better. So it probably doesn't sound like that, but I would at least know what that is. Okay. Yeah, good story that they got out. I mean, that's the good story they lived, right? That they lived. It's amazing. And no one got hurt. So no one in the train got hurt and they survived. It's like they just jumped out of a truck and they didn't die.

That's great news. No, it's great news. We'll accept it for today. Okay, there you go. But see, I see that's what it's all about because it's like somebody doing something forward for other people. This is what it's all about. Surviving. Okay, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. We're about to have a show Sword in the Stone. Now, if I can get a little of music, please. The magical sword in the stone is a legendary story of King Arthur,

where a magical sword is embedded in a stone and only the rightful king can pull it out, signifying their divine right to rule. And it's about to happen on this show. Amy, if you had to have, like, one of the dudes on this show, like, fight and protect you. Who would you choose? Hmm. Let me think about this for one second. All the men, I choose from all the men.

All the men on the men on the show. show. Very sexist because only men are up for battle here. Okay. I mean, I choose you. Thank you. Was that tough for you, Amy? No. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much. I choose you. Don't know what for, but just to be even. Thanks. So, Morgan, what do you have over there? Okay, so I have a jar. This jar is something that I got back in the fall and I have yet to be able to open this jar. Oh. So she should try it over and over again to open the jar, but it won't open. Has she banged it with a knife? I have used a knife.

I've used rubber gloves. I've used so many different things. And I do not understand if I, maybe I'm just incredibly not strong. I don't know. You're very strong. You're very athletic and strong. But this is our sword in the stone. Like which guy can open this and be the rightful king of the Bobby Bone Show?

So we're all going to take a shot at it. Wow. I put the names on the wheel just because I'll spin it and whoever it lands on goes first. Because let's say lunchbox goes first and he doesn't get it. then I open it second. He can go, well, you only got it because I loosened it. Correct. Because I do that to my wife sometimes. Like, if I can't get it and then she gets it, I'm like, I loosened it. So there'll be none of that. The wheel will determine the order. We'll spin it. Eddie, you can't go.

Yeah, I was like, I'm not on that wheel. And you are not divinely the king of the Bobby Bone show. What if, though, I can open it with my left hand? Dude, I would dominate all you guys. Eddie has a broken arm. Do you want to be on the wheel? Yes. But I need someone to. hold it for me. That's the thing about King Arthur. No one held you have to do it yourself. I can do it.

I can't do it. I can't. Well, let me put me on there because I can try my legs. Okay. You will be here. I don't know if I want my jam in between the legs. This yellow spot right here. Okay. So I will spin the will.

Whomever it lands on, we'll go first. And if you can open this jar, it is you. The divine leader. Distort in the jar. Wow. Or the lid in the jar. Okay. Here we go.

Three, two, one, spin that wheel! First person up is lunchbox. No chance. Okay, now hold on, don't open it yet, don't try yet. I didn't even do anything. We're going to go 15 seconds. Ray, if you'll get a timer up, he'll have 15 seconds. Trying to see if there's a trick on this jar.

Three, two, one, go. Oh, that's tight. Oh, I think I heard his wrist pop. Guys, I'm telling you I have tried everything with the jar. Five seconds in. Somebody's going to tear his shoulder. That's how I thought. That's making that off.

I told you. Oh my God. Was it like super glued on? Yeah, I'm. Oh my God. It's not him. He is not the divine leader on the show. I told you.

That almost ripped my hands off. Guys, this makes you feel so much better right now. That hurt. Ow. Knew it. So lunchbox will come off the wheel. Ramundo, Scova Steve. Like you felt it move, right?

I mean, I thought I did before, but. I almost tore my hands opening. That's what I'm saying. There's no way. I get that. That is so hard. We will spin again. Do you feel like you loosened it at all? Yeah.

Okay. All right, here we go. It is time to spin that wheel. Scuba Steve is he the divine leader of the jar. That's tough. Scuba do not open yet. We need to get our timers ready. All right.

You'll have 15 seconds to open. Oh, he's getting a little slower to sleep. He's getting ready? I think Scoob is pretty strong. Yeah. He's got big hands. Yeah. It's strong.

Weird. 15 seconds. There's no rules or anything, right? I can just do whatever I need to do. Don't bust it on the ground. Yeah. I do want to eat the jam. Yeah.

And go. Oh. He's banging it. He's twist. Oh. Now he's using a shirt. He's using a shirt to go over the lid. Oh, gosh.

He's going to do it. He's turning it. I need a rubber mix. Wow. Wow. Oh, you're welcome. Or lunchbox loosened. No, we're not saying that.

We're not saying that. Scuba? Yes. You are the divine leader. You go Morgan. Thank you. I can finally eat my gym. Wow.

I should have banged it on the ground. Hey, that was amazing. I didn't think about that. I questioned the sleeve move, but maybe it did something. He's so strong. It was a ground bang, sleeve move, strength. Scooper, what do you have to say for yourself? I mean, I know I could do it.

I'm determined that whatever I try out in life. I work hard at it. I figure a way to figure it out. And I did it. I opened it. And I'm more manlier at the lunchbox and any guy on this show. And what did you? You yelled something at lunchbox?

I have no idea what he said. I said a lot of things. He said he was a beta. He's a beta and I'm an alpha. Which we already know that. You put a dent in the lid. I mean, you like slam that thing out of the air. No, no, that's from the ground.

Do you guys have anything else for me to open or hold on to or touch? It's you. You are the alpha. All right. We are not. I'm sad. I never got a chance. But you know what?

I didn't deserve a chance. I wasn't picked by the Almighty. The Almighty wheel. Okay, thank you, thank you. Morgan, enjoy your jam. Thank you. I can finally have PBJs. All hail scuba Steve.

In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring. inconsistencies in her story.

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so-ins, correct? I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing.

Greg, a lesbian, Michael Marantini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. this is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County

We always say that, trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands.

I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Vodam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo. Woo.

My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved.

And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall, and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that.

There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. What do you have, lunchbox? Oh, man, there's this guy in Florida, and he did something awesome. a spite house. He owned a sliver of land, like, in between all these houses and all their backyards back up to it. And they're like, look, man, we'll pay you like millions of dollars so we can extend our

backyards because you're never going to be able to fit a house on that land. He goes, oh, I won't. So he goes, he draws up plans for a 15-foot wide house, really tall. City said, nope. So he made it 10 feet wide, 19 feet high. And it towers over their backyards. yards. So it is on this little sliver land. There's not really any yard and it's high

up, casts a shadow over their pools and he lives there. What happened to this guy as a kid? He thinks it's so funny. Like this is normal. But this makes lunchbox so happy, a guy that would do this. And you know, that's so mean. I love funny is that. Let me explain what the land looks like. I grew up in a trailer for a decent part of my life and it looks like

where a trailer goes. I mean, it looks literally. Like that's what the land there is? It looks like a lot that would be in a lot in a trailer park. Okay. So, except he's built it really high and shadows right over the backyards of these people. I don't know why he's so mad, though, because they offered him a bunch of money. Okay, you don't want it.

I would like to use it to build a little house there. Cool, build your house. But why build it to make everybody else mad? Like, what do they do to him to hurt him? They told him you would never be able to fit a house. And he said, when people sell me, I can't do something. But that's not like you can't achieve a dream or run a mile. They're going, there's not enough space there for you to really build a house as compared

to the other houses here. So just sell the property. It doesn't feel personal. Yeah. Why did he take it so personal? Because he believes in, don't tell me I can't do something. I think they were saying it's, uh-huh, okay, got it. It is so funny.

There are no rules against how tall you can make a house. I thought there was. Well, they said no to, it seems like they said no at one height, so then he went. No, he wanted to go 15 feet wide. And they said, no, that doesn't match the code. So we made it 10 feet wide. And really tall. The 19 foot tall house looms over the surrounding backyards and pools,

casting literal and figurative shadows over the neighbors who opposed the construction. Quote, I think the fact that my home was featured on Zillow gone wild. That's the thing. I didn't know that was the thing either. And there used to be a for sale sign in the yard drew a lot of attention. But make no mistake, the house wasn't built for comfort alone. It was built to send a message. He who once tried to buy land is happy and his neighbors are annoyed at the massive.

modern structure. At least he lives there, you know? I don't even know he lives there. I think it's like a summer house. I don't think that's just like permanent residence. Is that not funny? No, it's not funny. It's annoying.

I just need more information because that's not like telling someone you'll never make it in life. It's going, this land really isn't big enough to build a house according to the other houses in the neighborhood. Would anybody here act this way other than? No, I wouldn't want to spend the money to spite. I don't mind spiting somebody that makes me mad. But I'm not going to spend, this guy probably spent. Oh, he bought the property for. $700,000 as a second investment

and then he probably spent another $400,000 building it. On a strip. A very tiny strip. Yes. But hey, proved them wrong. Said there would never be a house on that property. Yeah, we heard.

They said he couldn't do it. It's a Disney movie. I'm an option the ride for this one. You enjoy your pool? Sorry, shadows blocking it. It's right over the pool. It's right over the neighbor's pool. It's right over the neighbor's pool.

That's horrible. If you're a neighbor and you want to spite it, what does you bebe gun on the windows at night when nobody's there? Like, do you make it difficult back? I don't. No. But I'm saying do you match spite with spite? No. Now, if you want to move, you're going to put your house on the market.

With that's the house right there. You've lost value. I know. That's annoying. The fact that that's the story he wanted to talk about today is hilarious. It makes him so happy. Let's go check in with Amy. So this neuroscientist popped up in my feed talking about how if we hold a thought for 17 seconds, that's when things start to manifest because in the 17 seconds, it starts to multiply. He's the neuroscientist. He can explain it better than you. me, but... Oh, you have a clip, thank goodness.

It's actually fascinating. This is Jeffrey L. Fanon, PhD neuroscientist. When you have energy that is vibrating at a particular frequency within 17 seconds, other energy like that will be attracted to it. So if I'm having a positive thought or a negative thought, then what happens is that energy is attracted to it. I have other thoughts that are like that thought. So if you do that 17 seconds, 17 seconds, 17 seconds, for 68 seconds, then momentum begins to occur.

So let's say that I'm normally, all of our emotions have a frequency to it. So if I'm in despair or anger or worry, all of those are lower denser frequencies. Yeah. And then you start to attract lower frequency. Well, we want to be high vibes. So when you have the positive thoughts, you're attracting more positive around you because everything does have the energy. Just like you know, when an energy vampire walks into the room and like sucks the life out of everybody.

I feel like that just makes me tired. Like I don't know that the guy's wrong. It's a little huboo-jiboo for me. I know. It was like energy attracts energy. Honestly, the video is black and white, I have no idea what decade this is from. Uh-huh. So it was way back.

But even neuroscientists today talk about the energy and the frequency. So something's been talked about for a very long time. And I think it's just a reminder, whether you believe it or not, just to focus more on the positive things. Because if you keep looking at despair and negative, then you're going to continue to see negative in despair. The manifestation in life has been an odd thing for me to come to terms with because I don't believe you can just think about something dependent on a board. However, that is not exactly what all that is. I think I was reading as part of a book, a guy was, and again, I'm not Hubu-Jubu

manifestation and things come to life. I'm very practical. You got to do the work. But they can exist. I do believe they can coexist. Where the manifestation stuff to me comes to life is when you say it, you are it. It attracts not energy, but people that all. also either want to help you, either want to be a part of what you're doing, or aren't anti what

you're doing. Because the more you're about something, the more attractive you're going to be to other people who are about either that thing or something. And it builds an environment where you can thrive. I think you are your environment. The people you surround yourself with, that's who you're going to be. The person you're married to, your friends, everybody at arm's length all the time, your church group, the people that you are with are who you're going to be. And if you want to be a high performer, you must surround yourself with high performers. If you want to be a great parent, you need to surround yourself with great parents because that is a culture.

And cultures are extremely strong and extremely valuable. I don't know that he's right or wrong. Probably is right. I just don't commit to huboo-jubo, because I can't like touch it, you know? I know. But I mean, there's just something so, too, what you think about, you bring about. And also one thing we can all relate to is, when you're thinking about a particular car or a color of car.

And then you start to see that car everywhere. Well, those cars have always been there. It's just that now that's what your brain's fixated on. So you're more likely to see it. So therefore, if you have a vision board, you still have to work towards what's on there. But you're more likely to have encounters and connections with people that help you get there faster than you would if you weren't focused on it.

You need to be around people that will get you to where you want to go. And guess what I have on my vision board this year? Hmm. I don't even know a guess. I just like to you to tell me. A horse. How would I guess that guy? I'm just asking.

How in the whole world, I think her to go, I have a horse on my vision board, would it got to start quicker? A few years ago, I had a horse in my vision board, and then my dog got a hold of my vision board, and she ate one corner, the bottom right corner. Guess it was in the bottom right corner, the horse. So I knew that year it wasn't meant to be. But here we are.

I hate meant to be. Don't get me going. Go ahead. Go ahead. It wasn't meant to be. Because my dog ate the horse off the board. but I just want to, I don't know, I don't know how it's going to come about. I'm not wanting to own a horse.

I don't have that type of situation right now. So you don't know why you have a horse on your vision board? No, I know. I said I guess I don't know how it's going to come about. Do you want a horse? I don't want to own a horse yet, but I think a horse. Do you want to borrow a horse? Maybe.

You want to go to horse races? No, no, no. That would be fun. Maybe like I start to come into relationships where, oh, you've got a horse. Oh, you can take your kids out here. Oh, you can ride. You can do therapy. quine stuff, because I don't have the resources to care for a horse right now.

So, when a kid talks to Santa, he needs to tell Santa the exact present he wants. I feel like you need to be a little more communicative to Santa exactly what you want there. This is a fun game I like to play. Not for anybody but you, because we're all like, huh? No, no, no, it's a fun game I like to play with my vision board. It's sort of like, I don't know the role of horse yet, but I can't wait to find out. How does this not seem exciting? We don't really know.

Yeah. We don't know what you're talking about. That's it. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. This lady named Sandy in Michigan got a big package in the mail. She opens it up, cuts it open.

And there were a bunch of war medals, World War II medals. And she's like, this is not for me. She starts looking through them. There's two purple hearts, an airborne patch, campaign ribbons. It's like, these seem like they would be the utmost importance to somebody, but they are not me. And so she goes and finds a group on social media. And it's like, hey, I have these medals. Can you guys identify them?

And they ended up finding the relatives of the person because a person was not alive anymore. But finding the relatives through the social media group and got them to them. Oh, that's awesome. I feel like some people might see that and be like, eh, not important to me. So I'm just going to throw them away. Think about the family getting that call. Like, hey, we have your medals here. They sent it to the wrong place.

And then I want to know if the address was written on it wrong or who messed up? up. Who's fault is this? They dropped off a bunch of white claw at my house the other day on accident. Uber Eats did. And you,

you made sure to find the rightful owner. I was like, I heard this story about the medals. I needed to get the white claw back to its rightful owner. That too was to tell me something good. That should have been to tell me something good.

A great story from WX, ZY. A big shout out to Sandy Johnson for going through the extra effort to get those medals back. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast. A win is a win.

A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clivert Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement
