On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick and Poll show are geniuses. We can explain how AI works, data centers, but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win Stupid Prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time.

I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. But, hey, no one's perfect. We're pretty close, though. Listen to the Nick Dick and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Tuesday's show. Morning studio. Morning! I'm going to ask you your one morning habit that you have to do or you feel like your home morning's off.

So think about that. You may have four or five, but what's the one? You want to say, what's the one thing you have to do where you're like, oh, no, my day is not going to be right? Because I have a story here, four bad morning habits and then four good morning habits. Let's see where they fall. Amy? For me, making my bed. Wow.

If you don't make your bed, you feel less like you're not complete. Yeah, and I used to not understand that at all. My sister was always a bedmaker and I wasn't and I didn't get it when I would go to her house and her bed look perfect for saying on a Saturday. I'm like, what? But now I get it. And for the past, I don't know, four years or so, I've been making my bed every day and I love it. Is it about getting back into it and it's made? It's about, well, it's the first thing you can do right when you get up to be like,

Whoa, look at what I just did. I accomplished something. And it just feels good to do that and check that box. And then, yes, when I return to it in the evening, it feels nice to pull back sheets and get into a made bed. I never make my bed, but my wife's still in it. So that would be weird. Right.

You make it. Okay, put this going on here. Lunchbox. Ooh, eat breakfast. I mean, if not, you're probably a pretty common one. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, because some people are like, oh, I don't have time.

I got to go. Well, then you're grouchy, you're hungry, and you know, don't know when you're going to eat. You're in a bad mood. You get a headache. Wait, do you sit down and have breakfast at the table? Yeah. By yourself? I mean, mom's in the dark. Mom's going to be a bit more specific because mine is I have cereal. There's a whole ceremony I have with my cereal. If I don't have cereal, it doesn't matter what the breakfast is. I need a bowl of cereal.

I need the whole milk on the table, back of the cereal box. I like to read that and also have my... Every day you read the same box? Yeah, well, there's always new stuff to learn. You play the game. But also keep, like, Twitter up at the same time. But yeah, mine's very much a small. cereal type thing, but I haven't been able to have cereal in like four weeks. Well, that's because you abused that. It's really thrown me up. Well, I was having like 12 bowls a day. Right. Lots of ceremonies. Well, I need the morning ceremony, though.

He told our trainer that. He's like, what did you say? Well, no, but also eat pretty healthy cereal, but still 12 bowls of days. It's tough. You could have one. Just have yours. You think, right? You would think. He doesn't work that way. You tell that to people that have all different kinds of addictions. Just have one. Okay. You're addicted to cereal? I am. Hey, man. I'm sorry. Hey guys, this is Bobby. He's addicted to cereal. I'm Bobby. I'm addicted to cereal.

Hey Bobby. Okay, so lunchboxes and eyes are pretty much the same. I try to stretch a little bit in the morning, but I think if I don't stretch, I'm okay with it. It's not off. It's not off. Yeah. Eddie? Coffee.

I got to have my coffee. You make it yourself? It's an espresso. But like, that's the thing, though. If there aren't pods, like, it's a rough morning. Do you blame yourself or your wife if there aren't pods? My wife, because she orders the pods. Pod get her?

However, I do have a regular pot. So if I'm like really, because my morning's on time. I have, it's perfect. Like I get up, shower, coffee. And if I'm like two minutes off. You shower in the morning? Every morning. I never do.

Yeah. I don't because I don't wet my wife up and then I just get too lazy to go upstairs. But like if anything's wrong with my routine, I'm going to be late. So whenever there's no pod, I'd like scramble. I'm like, I got a fine coffee. And then I'll get my coffee maker out, make it real quick. And it's not as good and it ruins my morning. Nighttime you needs to take care of morning you and you should check and make sure you've got pods.

Why are you talking to me like a child? Nighttime you. That's funny. That's what, like the best way you can prepare for the next day is the night before. I pack my bags and everything. Well, I do. I'll let my clothes out and stuff for the next day for the most part. You do?

What do I say? Because I don't want to have to worry about that in the morning whenever I'm, have my exact schedule to go through, to get out the door at a certain time. Like socks and everything? Yes. A successful morning starts the night before. A successful year starts the year before. Oh, my.

Dang. A successful life. Well, way, way, way, way. I don't know. So here you go. Four morning habits. These are the bad ones. Number one, don't wake up to an alarm.

It causes immediate anxiety. They say try to use for an alarm, something more soothing. So even if your alarm is like one of those. Mine's nice now. Yeah, so theirs is like don't wake up to. That's stressing me out right now. I know. Don't immediately try to problem solve.

That groggy feeling is called sleep inertia in typically last 15 minutes to an hour. So let yourself ease into the day. Dude, I wake up and it's like, let's go. I got nine things to figure out before I even leave the house. You know what else gives sleep inertia is snoozing, and thanks to you guys, I don't snooze anymore. We kind of shamed you out of that, or what? Basically.

Yeah, good for us. Don't dive straight into emails. Okay. You go straight to emails? I have to. There are red dots on my phone. I've got to clear the red dots immediately. No, just don't look at it.

Nope. Yeah, that's like, I don't feel good. Something hurts. Well, just don't go to the doctor for it. Oh, I don't look at my phone. If I don't get every red dot off my phone, This is one of mine other than cereal. Every red dot's got to be clear for my phone before I leave the house.

Oh, man. It's exhausting. Yeah. It gives me a headache. How many red dots? Be honest. Well, I haven't even really looked at my phone. Look at it now.

Let's see. Let me just see here when it comes to text, 455. And then emails, 5,000. It just went from 488 to 490 while I was looking at it. 5,000. I couldn't live. I'd never come to work because I'd be clearing those out. You have zero unread emails on your phone?

I'm sure some have come in. I have, so, yeah, you know how many? Two. Wow. Maybe it's the same two I just got it. I don't think so. Oh, we're not on the same kind of emails? No, because this one's about collectibles.

Okay, definitely. Point, Bobby. Thank you very much. The other one is, don't focus on what we're wrong yesterday. Try to. Oh, man. Most of that stuff's in an email, so I have to look at it. try your best to start fresh.

The good things you want to do, focus on what you want to achieve and make a list. Number two, start with some deep breathing. The problem is it's hard to deep breathe and meditate and take time for yourself if you don't have the time. Because sometimes things happen in the morning. It's not like you're in a hurry. You can go, I'm going to stop this hurry and really focus. Can you do that the night before, like Amy said? Nighttime stuff?

Right. Look at something that makes you smile. So I have a picture of all you guys up at desk at home. That's nice, man. Yeah. So then I flip it. down though, but look at my memorabilia to make me smile. Yeah. Got it. And then

finally get moving. Doesn't have to be a full workout. I don't ever use my alarm because I wake up like super anxiety. Like, but I'll go walk some mornings. Not as a walk on the treadmill because I refuse as well, I hate walks. Said it once, say it again. I got a car for that. But yeah, get it like getting up and around.

So you won't walk on the roads with the trees, but you'll walk nowhere. I will walk from exercise purposes inside because I have a car to get me places and I'm allergic to all the stuff in the trees. Okay. And there are cars that get hit me. There is that.

Yeah. You guys don't think about it. That's real life stuff. It's in the New York Post. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email if you read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah.

Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm having trouble figuring out where the line is when it comes to my role between my teenage stepdaughter and her Bible. biological father. Her bio dad is constantly gaslighting her, criticizing her and making her cry. I've been there to talk to her when she needs it, but I've been careful to stand back and not be critical because he's her real dad after all. All that said, I've tried to show her the importance of setting boundaries and sticking to them

and hoping that that eventually sinks in. Beyond that, is there anything I can do? Signed. Blake the bonus dad. Yeah, you're getting into that territory that once you commit to it, you're always there. meaning the first time you get in a fight with her biological dad about her that cannot be erased that will always be something between you to it and will probably not be better for a long time if you're talking to her when she needs to be talked to that's great

I don't think I'd be volunteering something that you really don't know the whole story to you don't know the real dynamic probably between the daughter and the dad now if he's like hurting her if it's like really then you need to go to the mom I feel like emotional abuse and let her be the person that takes the battery around and busts the door like SWAT team does. She needs to be that. That's her role in this. I would say don't set yourself up as the adversary of the biological dad. If you have to set that up, you need to set it up as the mom as the adversary because it's a little bit of not your chili.

It's your chili a little bit too. But it's a little bit, it's enough not your chili that it's not going to be healthy if you jump in that and get in the mix. If somebody's got to get in the mix, you need it to be that mom. And your opinion and feelings and however you choose to handle it. regarding that can be private, like not in front of the kid or saying anything about the dad to the kid. Because I feel like that's when things get messy. I think you have the right idea of like playing the long game. Like if you're consistent, reliable, loving there for them, you kind of do the opposite of what the bio dad is doing.

Like that consistency will pay off and they'll eventually realize how their dad is and you're helping instill boundaries for them and whatnot. So I think it's the long game here. I'm sure you already have a negative feeling about the bio dad anyway, considering he was married to the mom. Yeah. Before you were. Her ex. It's probably doing dirty stuff with her.

You think about that and you're like, now he's thinking about it. Right. Oh, I didn't bother that. That relationship just naturally isn't the cleanest. Some of them are great. Some of them end up being in great places. But I would say that if you need somebody to jump in and be that adversary of that dad,

it can't be you. It's got to be the mom. You got to go talk to your wife. wife, her mom, if you feel like something really is going wrong. Yeah, it's probably going to be hard sometimes to try to not jump in and be the fixer right away the way you would want to do it, but you just have to be patient. Yeah, and normally not your thing to fix. Right.

Appreciate the email, though. It sounds like you care, and that's very valuable. So continue caring. All right, close that mailbag. We've got your email and we let it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag. Yeah. On the phone now is Katie.

Hey, Katie, good morning. Good morning. So we're going to play a game called Bobby Bone Show trivia. And if you win, you win crap from the back. Now, this is an extensive list of crap. We have a, it's not actually crap, that's what we call it. We have a Bobby Bone Show official t-shirt that I didn't even know we had. Hey, that's nice.

Never even seen that before my whole life. We have a Warren Zider's hat, a Pimp and Joy USA sweatshirt hoodie, and then three DVDs. Wonka, Justice League Crisis. Dude, I don't even know what these are. I mean DVDs. I don't even know what you said. And something called Beekeeper with Jason Statham. So you went a lot of crap from the back here.

Here we go. You have to get four out of five to be a winner. Are you ready? Yep. Here we go. Question number one. What country did Amy adopt her kids from? Haiti.

That is correct. Amy, would you like to add anything to that? That's awesome that she got it. They're from Porte Prince Haiti. Well, that's where I adopted them from. But my daughter, in case we would. want to get more difficult one day. She was born in La Kai and then my son in Ciday Soley. And why Haiti? I went there on a trip to work with women and we were already in the adoption

process for a newborn domestic baby and that process was taking forever. And then while at the orphanage where these women worked, I noticed that some of the older children had a less likely chance of getting adopted once they hit a certain age. So my husband at the time, we adopted. We adopted to older kids. By the time they got to America, they were seven and ten. That is correct. Amy, you also get a point. Oh, thank you.

Yes, that's correct. Okay, question number two. What city has a sign up that says, Welcome to the Boyhood Home of Bobby Bones? Shoot. I guess what town? I'm not from a city. I'd say I'm from a town.

Yeah, what's my hometown? I know it's in Arkansas. Everybody drives through it. everybody takes pictures with it. There's actually bullet holes on the sign now, which I don't know if that's for me specifically. Now people are shooting. People are bored.

Wow. Okay, so I'm going to have to buzzy on that one. But the answer is Mountain Pine, Arkansas. That's right. That's right. I get a point too, yes. Population 700. It's in central Arkansas,

and they did put up a sign that says, Boyhood Home of Bobby Bones. How people are shooting that thing, man? I graduated with about 50 kids. Not quite 50. A little less than 50. But that was my graduating high school class. What was yours?

My class? Yeah. 500? Yeah, I don't know. I think when we started out, we had like a thousand freshman year, but by the time I got to senior year, a few hundred had, you know, gone their own day. They gave up. But in the hundreds.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We were 5A. So you can't miss another one. Who on the show went to jail after a prank went wrong when they went into a store to buy gum wearing pantyhoes over their head? Lunchbox. Correct. We really don't talk about that a lot, but it was a bit we did that lunchbox ended up in the big house, the slammer, prison. Yeah, they locked it and locked me in through the key away.

But he got the key out somehow of the garbage. Next up, who was my partner during my winning season of Dancing with the Stars? Sharna. That is correct. Nice job. Wow, that's quick. One more for all the marbles. There's one part of my body that doesn't work. name it

that's vulnerable color vision that's true you know what I'll accept that I am colorblind my right eye doesn't work though this is like 8% vision

but I will take colorblind as well as we'll lump them into the same thing that is correct 4 to 5 that's a little nice job you get well

it's a lot of crap from the back yeah but we'll also sign something for you the shirt's cool the sweatshirt the worn's eyeer hat it's cool we don't know if it even fits her

and the DVDs are cool man Yeah, that's all great. Would you like a cassette, maybe a vinyl, maybe an eight-track to go with it? Do you even have a DVD player? Yeah. I'll tell you what. Can you play them on a PlayStation? Yes, yes.

Okay. We'll sign the Wonka DVD for her. Sounds great. Interesting. Why not? Do we sign it like Willie Wonka? No, we just said right on it. Bobby Eddie, Andy, Lunchbox.

All right, Katie, congrats. Hey, I just want to say, too, to lunchbacks, I totally recognized Scuba and Abby at the St. Jude banquet. So he can just shush. Oh, you went? Yes. Okay, lunchbox said they weren't recognized and he was mad that he wasn't hired. I love that they put on a caller that they knew was there. They said, hey, we're going to call you, say you're at this event, say you recognize this.

It's time for the good news. Lunchbox, when's the last time you called 911? Ah, it's been a few months. Do you start to get the itch? I've been missing it. I've been looking. I've been like really searching. This guy loves. His hobbies are calling 911.

Interesting. Now saving lives. You don't call is a joke. No, save lives. But sometimes people would consider what you call for to be maybe not as serious as you think. Right. Like when someone broke into someone's car at the park, called 911. Well, that should be reported.

Yeah, but they told me it should be just non-emergency because no one's in danger. Oh, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. But I did call because. call while it was happening? No, no, no, we came upon it and the window was shattered. Oh, that's not 911 because that's not an emergency. Yeah, I called 911 because there was a kid out of the car seat leaving the Chick-fil-A.

You see, that's a little too dramatic. That's dangerous. Would you call by a kid not wearing a helmet on a bicycle? Of course he would. You would. That's not against the law. Yeah, it is. That is dangerous.

I thought it was the law to wear a helmet. No, kids can ride bikes without a helmet. Anyway, lunchbox loves 911. I love 911. I love to call it. Okay. A Boston man called 911 for something that wasn't an emergency. urgency, you're not supposed to do this, and the police ended up coming. But the 25-year-old man named Chris called the line and explained he was calling it

because he wanted someone to wish him a happy birthday. The dispatcher said they could tell it wasn't a prank call that the guy really was kind of sad. I want a birthday wishes. So, I'm trying to say this delicately. The person that was answering the call could tell something was not good with the guy or something. Something was up. So they did send cops, but they actually sent two cops with a month.

and a birthday candle in it. Aw. I like that. So the guy was lonely. And they said happy birthday and it's pretty cool. Well, they didn't have to do that. They didn't have to do that at all. That's pretty cool.

Now, calling because the kid's not in their car seat, leaving Chick-fil-A. That's 911. It's not an emergency. I don't think it's emergency. Is his life at risk? Have your kids ever just like not buckled up right away when you've been with the car moving? No, no, no, no, because they can't buckle themselves yet. Oh.

One of them's five. Yeah, but that was, it's kind of tightening. You've got to pull the tightening. He's five and he can't do that yet? No. Anyway, that's what it's all about. Thank you. That was Tell Me Something Good.

Open your free I-Heart radio app. Search the Cito Show. And listen now. So what's the assassin game? Well, a lot of the high schoolers are playing it around town and they have water guns and they shoot each other. And you're either in or you're out. And my daughter has been in for a while.

she finally got out but I was very I don't understand is like these nuts where you don't want to be in like the one person's in you just don't want to get shot with the water gun

you don't want to get shot by anybody else and they're going around the neighborhoods it's like all they'll knock on your door and my daughter's like don't answer the door

if people come to the door because they're in trying It's that elaborate maybe people's out of school yes they come and they come and pick each other up in the cars like she left the other day

for like 15 minutes and I called I said where where did you go she's like I'm just a neighborhood down the street be back in a few. Assassin. So it's this whole thing and multiple schools are in on it and kind of everybody's playing it.

At first I was really against it. I don't understand. What am I not getting? So is there a list of people that have been shot? They all know. They just know. And once you're out, you're out and you kind of abide by the rules. Like she knows she's out.

So she's no longer an assassin. Correct. Like she got out and she thinks she was set up actually. when she got back. She's like, I got shot, and I think it was a set up. I don't know. I guess I haven't figured that part out. I guess not, because she hasn't gone to play ever since she got out.

And then people come to your door looking to assassinate her. Well, she said, if they did come to the door, do not answer. Do they hide in the bushes? They hide in bushes. They do it at school? They were in the woods. Like, she brought ticks in, like, I'm pretty sure ticks got in her hair. And, like, kids were finding ticks on their body because they were camping out in the woods,

waiting for this one kid to come out of his house because he needed to get. Shotted. I like to call it squirted. But it's shot. I know, but that just, it just was really frustrating me that it had to be. I mean, Amy, the game's called assassin. Exactly.

I know, why can't we call it like squirt? I don't like the name of that either. I'll be honest with you. But it's obvious that it is a water gun, which that was my concern. It hurts as like neon green. But I thought if all these kids are just riding around town trying to like shoot at each other with water.

Do they do drive-bys? Make sure that it's water. I can't, I don't know. I can't guarantee how every single kid is playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure they're shooting out of cars. So us as kids and as adults, it's a similar to game we play dudes called D's Nuts, where you just don't want to be on the island, which means you're the last one to get God.

But it sounds like a bigger version of that. Yeah. Yes. You know who would be good at Assassin game on this show? No. See, that's the point. I don't. Nobody says who.

Because if you say who, then I go D's nuts. And then you're on the island, which is like being assassinated. And let's not bring that one back, you know? Well, we had a rule we couldn't play on the air anymore. Okay. But I was just trying that out. It is very similar, except for with D's nuts, like, it's harmless. And when you're assassinate, sounds like it's water.

I know, it is. But, I mean, just driving around town with, like, I just don't want anybody to get confused that it's not a water gun. You think people confuse a sucre soaker for AK-47? They're a little handheld. I even said to my daughter, I said, am I the only one that has? has expressed any concern about this? And she said, I think so, Mom. But are they doing this at school, too?

It's off camp. It's not. Only off. Yeah, but I think the school knows they play it. And now I talk to the parents about it's like, hey, how's your day? I'm like, so your kid's still in? And then one dad was like, oh, my daughter got out first a day. How much what did you find on it?

There's a Wikipedia page. Oh, really? Yeah. On a water gun game? I typed in, Googled. I said, Assassin Water Game. And it comes up on Wikipedia. and it talks about how it's among high school seniors

or graduating senior classes and they've been playing it for years. That's great. But is it the last one standing win something? Yeah, read the rules, man. We can play that game where out of the building, we could play Assassin and the last one standing

wins 50 bucks or something. I like it. So when we're in the parking garage, we can get it. No, it can't be at work. Squared it can't be at work. But adult assassin. Don't be driving around with your windows down.

we will get you. If you see it at your door, don't answer. So some of these, like this one I'm reading, is there's one assassin and he or he or she goes around and shoots everybody, but once you're eliminated, you can't tell other people who the assassin is. So not everybody is an assassin in this version. This is weird, man. I didn't realize it's like a murder mystery.

I like it. Every school might do different, too, because my daughter's not a senior. Do we need to figure out the rules for adult assassin? The problem is somebody like Scoobo Steve who lives out in BFE, how are we going to shoot him? We'd have to make the drive. You have to chase him in his truck. Yep.

Follow him. Or you have to see him at the grocery store. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go on and do stuff. You can find me. Okay, think of the game for adult assassin. We can talk about it in the post show. This goes back to 1981.

Oh, those are the good old days. It feels like that tag game where that group of friends played tag. Yes. And they made a movie about it, too. And they would play all across the country. And they would just show up in their town like once a year and they would play. And it's just wild. Like they would drive across the country and be like tag your it?

Yeah, they would fly it. They would fly on the airplane. Oh, God, Chuck's here. Run. They would show them at their work and just tag them and then you're out. That's weird, man. Okay, come up with the rules for adult assassin. Mike, can I give you this challenge?

Mike's going to come up with the rules for adult assassin. Should we do payball guns? Hey, University of Nebraska at Lincoln had to place a one-year ban on the assassin game back in 2008 because kids were bringing the Nerf guns to class and assassinating. Yeah, see?

I've never heard it like that. Well, me either. Eddie is our winner. Congratulations. Here's a voicemail. I was just wondering, I'm 64 years old, and recently my wife, rising to work, has been getting aggressive and saying stuff out the window to other drivers or the other people on the road. And I was just wondering, what do you think about that? Now, if a wife says something to somebody, and then they say something back to your wife, and then you go to stick up to your wife, shouldn't she have to fight her own battles?

What do you guys think? A good question. I think I'm not riding with her. Yeah. She started it. Like, I'm going to drive. And if she does this, I'm not going to ride with her. So if we're going to go somewhere, I'm going to drive because I just want to mitigate the risk of getting beat up in the road.

But say you're in the car, though, and she does yell at someone, and then they pull over and they start fighting her. What do you do? Why would she pull over? I would be like, don't pull over. Run. You can't let her get beat up. You just have to kind of keep her from that situation. Well, and if this is a sudden behavior change, like she wants to.

wasn't doing this before, like maybe you can encourage her to get to the root of what's really wrong. That's just older people though, right? Don't think you get grumpier. I don't know if the brain just changed. Yeah, they get grumpier. Yeah. If I'm with her, she's fighting people and they're fighting back, I'm just going, go, do not stop. I'm not, don't. And then if you do pull over

or they come, you have to protect her, but that sucks and you get beat up because she was Mowley. That sucks. Here's Amy's pile of stories. All right, there's a chef on TikTok and he's going viral because he's telling us the perfect way to reheat leftover pizza, which is always complicated. Oh, can I guess? You take a piece of pizza and you put in the microwave and you put it on

48. I never do like fives or zeros on microwave bad luck. And then I walk away and I come back. What? No, no, definitely not. And microwave can heat up pizza so fast and it can make it hard. And chewy. But that's just, that's what that's what you get for not eating it all night one. That's just part of life. The circle of pizza life. And then the oven can make it too crispy. And yeah, It takes too long. So what you do is you get out a pan. You put it on the stove in a pan.

Too much work. No, no. It's only a few minutes. Then you got to clean the stove. The pan. I mean, I don't. All right. If you want to see perfectly reheated pizza as if you've just gotten it, then this is the way to do it.

And people have tried it out and you put it on the pan. Like you can Google it, but you just need a pan and a lid and a few minutes. Well, then I would say I'll take slightly soggy and no pan and less time. Okay. It's not that hard to wash a pan. It's not that hard to eat a soggy. Okay. Well, I thought people would appreciate this because I have a hard time reheating pizza. Okay, if you're bored in class or at work or even anybody in here right now, get up and do jumping jacks.

It'll change everything. Researchers at Ohio State University found that a short burst of exercise during like a long lecture or a long work day can help get you back into the groove. So if you've been sitting for like an hour to 80 minutes, they say, pop up, do some jumping jacks, sit back down. Learn the people you're around, though, that you're about to start doing it or they'll think something's wrong with you or that you're having some sort of medical attack. Well, it'll help you focus and you'll pay more attention. And so I feel like this is good information too. Like if I'm thinking for my kids, sometimes if they're sitting down and they're focused during homework or at school, teachers could be like, hey, kids, let's hop up real quick. We're going to do some jumping jacks. Do your kids ever talk back as in to say, no, I'm not going to do that?

Not really. Because I feel like that'd be the first time. I'm not doing that. I feel like they'd be like kids, Stevenson, Jumpa Jacks. No. I feel like that would be the thing. Yeah, I mean, I may have to ask a few times, but I think I could somehow be like, come on, it'll be fun, let's do it.

This is going to be good for your brain. I love saying, this is so good for your brain. And do they believe that or do they just at that point, no, that's your go-to-and-you-might-all-state university said this is good for you in your brain. And that's how we do it. Jellyroll a while back we talked about, he's training. for a 5K and he finally did it. Yeah.

And so I've just got a clip of him talking about it because I just feel like it's just encouraging. For anything you want to set out to do, like he couldn't even walk a mile when he first started and now he ran over three. Whenever I started doing this, I couldn't walk a mile when I started trying to do this back in January. So the fact that we got three, three point,

whatever it was done today, I feel really, really good about it. I left here feeling really motivated. That's really cool. I mean, that's Mike D's story too. Mike D, because you have lost and kept off over 100 pounds. Now, it's 20 miles a day. It's so stupid.

I mean, it's awesome, dude. I admire you. I'm so jealous. But you were basically the same, right? Yeah, you started out walking and then you build up. I would say, don't even think about the miles. Just think about like, I want to do 15 minutes today. I want to do 20 minutes.

You build up. My wife asked me, oddly, because we had talked about it on the show. She was like, do want to go for a walk? And I was like, no, we have a car. Yeah, you guys should go for walks. No, no, no, no. If I'm going to go on foot A to B, that's for exercise. Otherwise, I have paid money for something to take me A to B.

Or if it's to walk our dogs, I get that. But no, I'm good. I'm just not going on a walk. And I'm allergic to everything outside. So you're going to put me in a bubble? I thought you were getting allergy shots. I am, but it takes a year for them to, like, set in. They have to slow.

It's very diluted at first. You can wear a mask. I'm not that guy. Okay. It's so weird because girls, that's what we do to catch up. We all go on walks. Like, y'all don't just. We...

Hey guys, want to go on a walk? No. Video games. Yeah, guys don't go on walks. Yeah, or we play golf. Oh, okay. We need to act like the main reason was to do that other thing.

You guys, it's to talk and we'll walk while we're talking. Ours is, hey, why don't we'll wrestle, we'll talk while we're doing it. Okay. All right. I mean, that's my pile.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. Two weeks before her wedding day, Shelly Joseph's wedding dress burned in her condo fire. She lost a lot of things. Thankfully,

her dog Napoleon was saved by firefighters, so she was super grateful, but obviously losing her wedding dress, just two weeks before the big day, was very stressful. Well, the story was aired on the local news, and the community came together to support her and her fiance. So Sarah Heath, who's the owner of

Andrew's bridle in Peachtree City, saw the story and said, hey, come on by, pick out a new wedding dress on the house. And then, people in the area started like a crowdfunding page so that they can start building their life back and there's over $10,000 in it and they got donations of dog foods and dog treats for Napoleon and she's just very thankful for how the community is rallied around her. It sucks that you lose everything in a fire.

Yeah. That part is terrible. Two weeks before your wedding and your wedding dress burns up, that's another level of stress. But everybody coming through, that's, that is an amazing story because nobody had to do it. That's what's cool. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
