I guess the mild drama we're having at the house right now. We cannot find a dog sitter to watch the dogs when we go play and open for Garth on April 23rd. Oh, no. I have two. Someone always stays in my house. When we leave, there's always someone there. And so we have one to be used all the time. Well, it's her birthday and she's out of town.

And I'm like, okay. And we have another one and she's gone. So we're like, we don't have a third. So I went to Abby and was like, Abby, because we trust Abby to be in the house and watch dogs. I'm like, I will pay you Prime. Primo. And she's like, I'm running a marathon that day. Oh, no. I know. So we're struggling right now. Cancel the show?

Mm-hmm. Yep. So we're not going to open for Garth on the 23rd. You're crazy. We're going to find someone. I'm just up there with the dogs. I'm just holding them on stage. So that's what we're going through. Now, we're going to be fine. I may have to go hit up Lexie. Lexi Hayden. Yeah. But she's like a real artist now, so I feel like, but that's also a favor.

as a friend, you know, like a former, I don't know. Yeah, but she works. Like, it's her job. She needs the money and she just stayed at my house like two weeks ago. She didn't. This is what she wants. She's got to do it. She's got to hustle.

A Colorado Police Department and other news that's related to this had to get involved in a pet sitting incident. Fort Collins police posted on social media that a woman named Patricia needed some, this is why I don't get somebody random. Listen to this. Needed someone to watch her pet terrier. The dog's name was Scholar because she moved to a new house. And so they hired somebody.

Then that person took the dog with them. Oh. Oh. Yeah, no. They've been watching the dog for a bit as the move was happening, but they decided they wanted to keep the dog. But once the dog sitter was called on social media, they finally, after a lot of drama, returned the dog.

But she didn't think she was getting the dog back. Wow. After police became involved, she dropped the scholar off at the Humane Society. It wouldn't even give it back to the real person, and then she wouldn't pick them up. So, but wouldn't give the dog back. What did he give the dog back? Crazy.

That's from Fox News. So that's what I'm trying to avoid. Although, those dogs are. sometimes get a little annoying. That's the situation, and that's my situation. But we are going to figure it out, you better believe, April 23rd, we're going to be opening up for Garth Brooks. Yeah.

And nobody's going to care about us, but it's going to be awesome. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Worst case scenario is Stevenson could help you with the dogs. Yeah, we need someone to stay at the house. He's looking for work. He can stay at the house. We need someone to stay the night at the house.

He's 11. All right, time to open the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag Yeah Hello Bobby Bones My mother passed away last year We were close

But she spent the last years of her life Living with my sister She did not have any valuable assets And did not leave a will But she did have many personal possessions That she always said Should be split between me and my siblings I've tried to raise the subject

About splitting mom's personal effects but my sister just says there's nothing to split and leaves it at that. My relationship with my sister is more important than some trinkets, but I feel hurt that she's not letting me share in items that will remind me of our mother and that I can hand down to our daughters. How do I delicately handle the situation, Janine? Yeah, that's tough because you're balancing a current relationship, but you would like to have something from the past relationship.

I don't know that if she continues to blow you off, there is a way to delicately handle it. I feel like the delicate approach has already been taking, which is going, hey, can I get some stuff? That's delicate. Hey, I know this happened. This stinks. Is there any chance I get a little bit of that?

She said, no. Now you have to be a little less delicate. And I think now it's a very, very direct conversation. I know this happened. I know you have this, even if I don't know specifically, and I need some of that. and I think that's less delicate. It doesn't sound like that she has, and they say in this,

valuable assets, so you're not going to need an attorney to do this. You either, A, need to have a tough conversation or you need to break in at night. Those are your two ones. Stealing back. No, I'm not breaking in a night. Not an option. Don't do that. Is that what I said.

Amy, your thoughts. I mean, I feel so bad that this is not going, you know, as you would assume, like in a healthy way of like, hey, I'd like this, you take that. It's exactly what my sister and I did, and it makes me super grateful that it was easy for us to do it this way. So I hate this for you. But, I mean, everyone grieves differently and maybe just give her some time. And hopefully after she's processed a little more, she might be more open to getting it.

If not, you might need to be a little, yeah, less delicate. And let this be a reminder to those of us living that maybe just to do our loving, ones a favor, go ahead and write that stuff out or have the tough conversations. Like, my mom actually did do that. Now, granted, we had a heads up. She was dying because she had cancer. But she's like, hey, Amy, you take this. Christy, you take that.

And we divvied things up. But even stuff she didn't clarify, my sister and I were able to maturely divide. It doesn't sound like there's a lot of maturity here. I would say, too, you could go and just specifically say what you want if you know there's anything. Like, if you know that there are things, like, I would really like, I would really like this because that will actually be a direct and then you can go to her house sometimes when she's not there you take it

you guys think I'm kidding just take it she stole it why not steal it back cut it in half you take half you take so that no no Bobby's right steal it my sister right just steal it you just take it because take it she took it what is she going to do confront you and say hey you took mom stuff well yep you took it too so but stop we can't do we can't act this way yes you can't she delicately did it the second thing is talk about it like I just said go and say this is not fair. And then if nothing happens then,

you have every right to this as well. The problem is she says she doesn't want to ruin her sister's relationship. That's why you steal and don't say anything about it, then act like you never saw it. She'll find out. It's not fair for her to have the ones to be stolen from.

This is stolen from her. It's okay for someone to steal from her, but she not take it back. You had the delicate conversation. Now you have the mature one. If that doesn't work, you call in the goons. I'm not kidding.

I know I jokingly said, like cut it in half, but some stuff might be able to be... It's not a pie, Amy. I know, but think about this. What if it's high, though? It was. Like, what about my mom's wedding band that she had with my dad was a band with a diamond, but it was a thick gold band? And we took it to a jeweler and cut it.

My sister took the diamond from it, and I took the gold band. So we actually did divide that. Well, I don't care, though. Amy's like, we did it so mature. Yeah, Amy, she got the diamond. But I love the gold band. This is what I'm going to say. all of this stinks.

I'm sorry your mom passed. I'm sorry your sister jacked your stuff. Yeah. The fact you have to have this conversation is unfortunate. Delicably, it's not going to work. You need to have a mature conversation and directly say, I would like this if that's okay. If then she says no, you have to either go, well, I'm just not going to get anything or I'm going to go take it into my own hands like your sister did. But then you can't be mad if you just go, well, there's something like getting anything.

I'm just going to sit back. So sometimes you have to execute. Yeah, but don't steal anything. That's execute. She stole. I know, but... And you know what? Two stealings make?

All right. All right, we're back to even. All right, that's the mailbag. Thank you. We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's time to close Bobby's mailbag. Yeah. If you're ready for your next job,

He drank half of them. I was like, I don't like this. It wasn't because it tasted weird. It wasn't because he ordered the wrong thing or they messed it up.

He just realized, I just don't like this flavor. He wasn't satisfied with it. No, no, no. He didn't like the flavor, the flavor that he chose. Which is true. He wasn't satisfied. Because he didn't like the flavor. Exactly. And so he drank half.

And it wasn't Eddie's son who did this. Eddie said, just take it back and get a different one. Sure. That's how I was raised. Even though he drank half and he made the mistake of ordering a flavor he didn't like. Yeah, it was perfectly fine. Right. So we had this big debate.

Like, if they mess it up or it's not what they said it was going to be, you can send it back. But if it's exactly what they told you it was going to be and you drink half of it, that's on you. That's my opinion. Not yours. You're teaching your kid. Correct. Todd, real integrity here. So, lunchbox took into his own hands and you called different places.

I called restaurants. I wanted to know how they handle that. Like, what's the policy of the restaurant? Because we can sit here in debate, but we don't work in a restaurant. How do they handle that situation? I have worked in a restaurant, though, if it matters. Right, right. But you don't anymore.

And I was on Team Eddie because I think Eddie did the right thing with his kid. Which scares me a little bit. But do you explain to them? It's not because they messed up. I explained. I said, listen, I order something. and I don't like it. No, no, no.

I said you give me exactly what's on the menu what I ordered. If I order a catfish sandwich and I take a couple bites of the catfish sandwich, I'm like, ah, not really filling the catfish sandwich. I'm going to go with the jambalaya. Okay, okay. Here we go. Here is lunchbox calling. You been thinking a lot about New Orleans lately or what?

He likes that Cajun food. All right, here is lunchbox calling a breakfast bite. I guess, ma'am, how you doing today? I got a question for you. We're having a debate at work. Let's say I come in and I order some pancakes and I eat like, you know, half the pancakes and I decide, ah, I don't really like these pancakes. Is it okay to say, you know what, I want something different off the menu? I think that if someone is halfway through eating something, if they don't like it, then I don't know.

They shouldn't really have to pay for it. Instead of find out if they like it or not, you know. Right. So you as a restaurant, you don't think, oh my gosh, you ordered that. You're paying for it. It's like, hey, if you're not happy. No, sir. You can order something off the menu.

something else off the menu and not be charged. Yes, at a good restaurant with, like, good people and stuff, yeah, they'll let you do that. So then why not go and just order something you like? Well, that wouldn't be nice. Eat half of it. And then go, you know what, I'm going to go to the jumbline. I bet some people do do that. I started thinking about it.

She might work there. I feel like the people that are running the store versus the people that are working there might have different thoughts. Agree. Yeah. Because she wants a bigger tip. Right, she wants a bigger tip. Okay, so you don't like that? I call them a place and I ask.

for the manager. What kind of, well, okay, what kind of place is this? It's like a lunch place, like a, I don't know, cafe, whatever you call it. Thanks for calling. How can I help you? Okay, let's say I come in and I order your catfish sandwich, right? And I take three or four bites and I'm like, ah, this isn't exactly what I was thinking. It doesn't really hit the spot.

Can I switch? Can I call the waiter or waitress over and be like, you know, I want to take this back and can I get the burger? And is it, would you take that catfish sandwich? Off my bill. The restaurant's point of view is, at least here, we want to make you happy. But if you go certain places, though, they're not always as accommodating. And also it's, you know, like if I go to a table and I've been by it three times saying hi and talking to them and they finished everything on the plate and they say, you know, we really didn't care for it. Can I get something else?

I immediately would want to make them happy. But I'd say, you know, I've been here three times. I wish you would have told me earlier because now, you know, everybody else is finished with you. You know, and I might do dessert for them, but I'm probably not going to take that off. But if they've had just a few bites and it's just not them or they just doesn't set well with them, I'm going to let him pick something else and only charge them for the one item. Wow, that's good. So only a few bites.

It wasn't half. Yeah. How he presented it. Keep going with that. And then. Keep bringing that part up. And then I will also say this, and we can settle on this. There's not a lot of integrity in what you guys are suggesting you doing.

What do you mean? There's it. You ate half. You ordered, again. You knew the flavor, you got the flavor, you didn't like the flavor. They messed up nothing. You made the mistake. They shouldn't have to pay for your mistake.

They will because they're in the service industry and they want to keep your business. It's customer service. It's not. You heard it. It's bad customer. Yeah, you're a swindler. Yeah. No, no, no, no, don't call me.

It's time for the good news.

It's Bobby. Tell me something good. A new tradition has emerged in North Carolina. Last month, Michelle Brooks Thompson was hired to sing the national anthem at a game against the L.A. Galaxy and soccer. This is in Charlotte. She's singing the national anthem. Technical difficulties, her microphone, zoom out. So the crowd jumps in and finishes the entire song, and it's awesome.

here's a clip of the entire stadium singing which is pretty awesome but my favorite part of that is because the crowd's having to sing the whole thing you don't have the drunk guys screaming about seven seconds before the song's over like wow every time

because the whole crowd was doing it so it's hard for the crowd to do that great job crowd Charlotte that's awesome that's what it's all about that was tell me something good Amy's daughter is such a hustler She's how old now? She is 14, almost 15.

And for the last few years, it's like she's always trying to make money at school, doing all these little things. Yeah, things are not stealing, by the way. Like, literally hustling or like selling food or so. She's selling her uniform because she's moving on to high school. She's already found someone to buy her clothes. I love it. Stuff like that.

What did you find? So the latest entrepreneurial endeavor from my daughter is I found a list with some of the kids at her school. Like I knew, recognized some of the names, but there was, different dollar amounts next to each name. And when I saw the list, I was like, huh, I wonder what this is about. So I go to her and I say, what's this list with money? Was it in her phone? People.

Written down. Handwritten on her. Old school. Old school. Stachira stationary. I like it. Yeah. So she's like, oh, I was looking for that.

And I said, well, are you going to tell me what it is? And she kind of gets really quiet. And then she's smiling, but not talking. And then I'm like, okay, something's up. I said, do you need to tell me what this list is about? like right now. What did you think it was about? I don't know.

I just wanted to know why there was names with money. I just, I knew she probably was up to something. Were they different dollar amounts? Yes. Different dollar amounts, different people. And she said, well, I took your Thera gun to school. And a lot of people have been sore because of sports and track. A Thera gun is that thing you may see on TV.

It's like it looks like a little gun, but on the end it's got a ball. And it goes boom, boom, boom, boom. Oh, for massaging your muscles. Muscle recovery. Yes. That's what a Thera gun is. Yes. So she informed me

She had been renting it out Not massaging people Not for them like hey I'll I'll therogun you for a minute But she's doing a dollar a minute And they take it and they therogun themselves So funny And

I just had no idea I had no idea How much a minute A dollar a minute There's literally one dollar per minute Yeah one girl One girl had it She was the highest dollar amount

And I was like what's up with this She goes she had it the whole class period I was like Sosging her leg. So I have no idea. I doubt the school knows this is happening. I doubt this is allowed. Surprise they can take a therogun period.

Right. Yeah. I don't know for recovery. I don't know. Athletes. So was she sneaking it out of the house? So you wouldn't know? I don't think she really thought, no.

I don't think she thought she had to sneak. Now, a few days before she had said something like, I need to take my BB gun to school. And I'm like, what? And I realized she misspoke. And she meant my theragun, not hers. And so that is the gun. the intent. Like, I'm sure she wanted it for herself, but then she saw a business opportunity.

How much money she made? So she jumped at it. I think the total on the list was maybe around $40 something. Wow. But that was before I sort of like pumped the brakes on it. Why? I know. Or get her own. It can't be... No, she needs to get her own. If she wants to invest in her business... Love it, love it. Or if she wants to use mine, she can pay me a fee. Oh, so you're letting her, though. So we're now out of the stage where you... No. I'm discussing. because I don't know, should she be allowed to do this? Because I felt like this, we shouldn't do this. She shouldn't charge your friends to use the theragon.

Like if I was those other kids' parents and I found out they were paying another kid. They are. There's nothing illegal happening here. She's in debt like a lot. And I'm like. Hey, as I like to say, that's your business, baby. Okay, so I don't know. I felt like I jumped too quick to say, no, you can't do this.

Because then other people have been like, why? Why can't she do it? Okay, so here's what I would suggest being farther away from your situation. If I are you, I would make her buy her own, or she can have a partner, and I'll be me. I'll buy it for her, and then you just stay out of it. You're the mom. I'll go into business with her. Investor.

We'll have their guns all over that school. I think it's hilarious. Yeah. I think until she gets in trouble, which she may not, because I don't know what she's doing wrong unless it's a disruptive in class. Other than that, I don't know why you can have a massage gun, although they are pretty expensive. It's going to take a lot for her to buy one of these. So I'm happy to buy one for her. Would you have her up the price a little bit?

Nope, I sure wouldn't. Okay. And then we could split it. 50-50? Her and I? She's the one doing all the work. But if I'm buying the entire gun, he's the investor. Well, maybe once you're paid back, the percentage change.

No, the royalty is. I think it's hilarious. Let me know what you do regardless. That's so funny to me. I can tell whenever I shut it down. So funny. She was deflated. Yeah, because she didn't do anything wrong.

She's like, this is my best business idea yet. Yeah, it is. And you're shutting it down. That's awesome. Spring is here and that means it's time to go outside. Enjoy the backyard with your family or your friends or of course your dogs. Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Here's the thing.

Yeah, YouTube kids and it's just a whole grab bag of stuff. All kinds of things. Eddie and the kids were at my house and Cocoa Mellon was playing. They love Cocoa Mellon. Some song. A cocoa melon's fine by the way. That's not what I'm getting here. Okay good.

Getting to you here but this is the situation. So police have said parents watch out because Huggie Wuggy Wuggy is a video. Have you guys seen Huggie? No. No. Okay. So your kids could just stumble up on it. Huggy Wuggy is a blue bear. He has razor-sharp teeth that sometimes they get sharper as he tries to be scarier.

Oh my God. But Huggy Wuggy's an awesome name, by the way, for like a bear I'd watch as a kid. Huggy Wuggy's warm, fuzzy, but his teeth are sharp, and then his sense of humor gets even more morbid as the video goes along. So kids get onto it thinking it's going to be what they call fictional fun, and then Huggy Wuggy S scares the crap out of them. So here is the scare part of a huggy. Huggy Wuggy video.

My God. What was I supposed to do? So what goes into huggy Woggy being like, hey kids, scares the crap out of them. That sounds like a horror movie. Yeah, it really does. Anybody running to Huggy Wogie? No, man.

I'm not watching everything my kids watching, but I do have an ear on it. So if I heard something like that, I'd be like, what are you watching? Come over here. Let me see that. If your kids ever stumble up on anything on YouTube kids where you're like,

wait, that may be a little too much. Yes. I mean, it's not too much, but there's one where there's just whiny babies and they're just like, Give me that. Give me that. I'm like, don't watch that crap.

Because they're just watching it. And then they're going to say like, oh, well, that, I mean, that's normal. So I'm going to be a whiny baby. What's the thing your kids are watching where kids are crying, like at presents? That's my kids. Oh, is it your kids? Yeah. I heard of one of you.

They pull up videos on YouTube of kids that are crying because they don't like their Christmas present. That's terrible. I don't understand. So I guess kids, or it could be their birthday, whatever, the parents start filming, like their kid, opens their present. They don't like it, so they start throwing a fit about it or crying. Is it acted out? No. And then parents film it, and then I guess the parents put it online. And then, I don't know, it's one of Stashear's favorite pastimes is to search up videos.

We have some of those. It's every Christmas competition when a lunchbox gets a gift. It's every single year. It's our video that they're watching. Yeah, it's every year. I think you guys do it on purpose. Give me crappy gifts. I'll get mad. Draft King's Sportsbook is an official sports betting partner of the Indeat. download the Draft King's Sportsbook app today.

Love your show. A lot going on in that call. What time does that come here? I don't know. I don't have a time here. That's so funny. Yes, the next movie Morgan has been assigned to watch is Austin Powers. Yes.

Because she had never seen it before. Eddie, I'm going to play this voicemail from Jennifer and Austin, but don't be triggered. Why? What's going to happen? What's wrong? Just stay calm and respond. Okay. And don't get angry.

Just collect your thoughts and deliver a statement back to her. Okay. Here we go. This is Jennifer and Austin. I had a question for Eddie. Eddie, you said you were speaking at the gala this weekend and you posted on Instagram that it was a gala and that it meant a lot to you. But I'm just wondering why you're wearing jeans. And also, can you not take off your hat for a gala?

Love all that you do for your kids. Think it's awesome. But just wondering if you maybe should upgrade it for some slack. I think. Okay. Okay. Take a deep breath. All right.

I mean, what? I mean, no, no. Okay. Take a deep breath again? Go ahead. I don't understand why I would have to get dressed up. I'm the speaker. I'm not attending.

That's terrible logic. That's terrible logic. But go ahead. They're all wearing tuxitos and nice stuff. I'm not wearing that. I'm the speaker. You do have a hoodie on over. Oh, I had this exact thought.

Yeah, you kind of look awful. He has on like a hoodie t-shirt. I didn't. No, no, no, with a cool designer jacket. No, I gave you that jacket. I know, that's cool. And they don't show my shoes. I had really nice shoes on, too.

Yeah, that's a tough one. I would have dressed up a little more. Really? Yeah. I feel like they got dressed up. They're attending the gala, or however you pronounce that, the gala. And then it's like, oh, cool, look there. Here's this cool guy.

I'm about to tell a story. He doesn't belong here because he's telling a story. Wait, you think you're cool? Yeah, but that was my whole thing to kind of look cool. You know, I had a hoodie on. It was like half dressy, half cool. It has dressy at all. You're in jeans and a hood.

Black jeans. I think black jeans are very dressy. I think she has a point. I didn't realize that. I think you could have done jeans with like a jacket and a button-up shirt without a tie. And then can we address the hat situation? You can. I won't. I like wearing the hat. It makes me comfortable. If I take my hat off, I'm going to worry that people are going to be making fun in my head. I think the hat's fine. I think there's an appropriate hat for all different times. Yeah, I could have gone a nicer hat. I feel like you just wore your hat that you wear every day.

No, it looks like an... Oh, is that your Pimentoo hat wherever? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, you probably should have a hat. Better hat. Live and learn. All right. I've done this too, many times. But since they're all wearing tuxes, I have to wear a tux.

No, but Eddie, we just said, right. We just gave you a rundown. Okay. I think she just expected me to dress just like that. No, no, you just had elevated up a little bit. Okay. All right. And I said button up and you say button down.

Yeah, I know. Weird. Weird. All right. Eddie, you feel good? No. No, okay. I don't.

There you go. The Bible Show. Here's Amy's Pile of Stories. So I thought it'd be fun to share odd tax deductions that people have gotten away with. Yeah, taxes need to be filed by- It's all lunchbox. All this is, it's over the years. All of his weird tax plays.

Yeah, tax days coming up April 18th, so don't forget to file, but also keep these things in mind. Like, a swimming pool may be deducted if it's a medical expense, but you have to go through hoops for that one. Yes, because maybe you broke something. We have a medical condition where you need pool therapy. Water rehab. Yeah, I like it. Or in my case, you just need to, like, walk into your pool for a therapeutic. Mental breakdown to kind of experience.

If you have a guard dog or a cat serving as, quote, unquote, pest control. Please write off your cat. That's hilarious. Your guard cat, please. So you may be able to deduct pet food because, yeah, my cat keeps pests away. The problem is, if they do an investigation, you're going to lose. Like, people may get away with it because they didn't check, and you file it and someone didn't comb over it. And then it's like, look at this.

It worked. But I think if someone real, they're not going to give you a guard cat and let you get away with that. I'm not sure how this one got through, but breast implants have successfully been deducted. Dancers. Research that. What? Like nudie dancers. Oh, that makes sense.

Okay. It's for their work. A gas station owner in Oklahoma successfully deducted beer used in a promotion for his business. Nice. Anything to promote a business. Or, like, Lunchbox does,

which, by the way, lunchbox makes money every single year. Is that still a thing? Yeah. I mean, it's gone down a little bit because they've tightened the rules, but...

Why do you do your hands? Like, they tighten the rules, like it's something new. They tighten the screws. You know, they made this. Oh, you can't write that off. You can write that off. But now I can write my dog off.

I can write... The guard dog, right? Yeah. Art is my house. How much do you think you made last year? Last year was like $7,000. A little down. Wow. What about the year before?

I believe it was 9,000. And what's the biggest year you've ever had? I think 12, almost 13. And that's because you do your own taxes. Do my own taxes. And I use an online tool and you write off gas to work. You can write off, you know, if you get food and you bring it to work, that's a work expense. Really? Yeah.

It's like because you eat it in the building. Yeah, because you're working. Or if you're at work and you go to lunch and you come back to work or you're out doing work, yep. But when are you doing all this work? I've never seen you do all this work ever. When you go to lunch and come back to work? Every once a while. No, never.

Never. Never. Never seen that. Scoba Steve looked out and it was like, never. I've never seen lunch by eating. Or if I go to lunch with Eddie or Ray, that's a work lunch. It's not. It's friends. No, they're co-workers and we talk about work a little bit. They talk about Soil Luzers podcast.

What else you got, Amy? Okay, so I'm starting to think I just need to stop making phone calls. And Bobby, you've gone to something. Especially to me. What? I like it when you're, text me. If you call, I know I got to spend 45 minutes right there on that minimum. But I started to give you the voice memos. And you leave 45 minute voice memos that are just like on and on and on

at the end. It's like, hey, call me back. It's like, what is it about what she was talking about? Go ahead. Well, I saw an article that I thought you would love and it said spoken phone calls are becoming notably less popular for younger generations. Eight and ten people now prefer text, instant messaging or video calls over a phone call. So like FaceTime. I haven't like a FaceTime. I'll do a face time. Unless I don't really know you and you send me one unsolicited. Then I'm like, why are they FaceTime? There's only a small circle that I will accept a FaceTime call from out of the wild. You know, people here and Caitlin. And that's about it. You know, I have maybe a couple other friends, but a weird FaceTime from somebody you don't know that well. It's like,

what? What? Is that an accident? You know what young people are also doing? They're scheduling phone calls. So like if there is a phone call to be had, it's like, hey, does this time work for you? Like, even if it's a friend. It's like, hey, can you talk at 2 p.m? No. That's what I say. No chance. All right. What else? So Tim McGraw is a pilot. Like, he has his license, but he's always down for a Griswold-style

road trip. He says he has a 15-year-old Cadillac Escalade that he loves, and he calls it his Griswold family cruiser. And now that both his daughters are on the West Coast, they've road-tripped it out there from Nashville to California. Could you imagine if you're working a gas station and Tim McGill come rolling through for some gas?

Yeah, I can't imagine it, but it'd be cool. It'd be really cool. Truck stop? I'd be like, there's Tim McGrathale. I'm imagining it now. I know. That was easy. Pretty cool, yeah.

And speaking of being out on the road, his tour kicks off at the end of the month, which is super fun. And he's taking Russell Dickerson, Alexander Kaye, and Brandon Davis out on the road with him. I saw his show 1883. Did not get renewed. Oh, no. Yeah, I got canceled after one season. Sad. You're breaking news right now to me.

I didn't know that. Did you like it? I did. I never started it because I didn't want it to last one season and then me just feel unfulfilled. Well, there you go. That's what happened. Sadly, that show is not coming back.

Oh, that's such a bummer. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. Introducing the first ever Hyundai Ionic 5. This thing has all the tech you would ever want. It's fully electric inside and out. Your journey at its most evolved. The Hyundai Ionic 5, extremely limited availability.

Well, good thing they did because Cooter, the dog, saved their lives. There was a fire that started on the porch or something, and it spread to the interior of the house, and they were all asleep. But Cooter started barking like crazy. It woke them up, and every single family member was able to establish. escape the house because he parked. Good for Cooter. You know, I wonder if they named a Cooter or it came.

It came Cooter. I don't think it came that way. I don't know. For sure. Who knows? Yeah. I think had we adopted a dog, and we did Eleanor, but she didn't have a name. She was so young.

Had we adopted Cooter, the name would have been changed by Caitlin. I'd been like, that's the best name ever heard in my life. We need Cooter 2 as well. We need Cooter 2 as well. We need Cooter 3. We need all Cooters. But I just have a feeling she would have kind of said, I think we're going to change. Yeah.

And I think that's okay to do it. Unless it's older. Dogs? I don't know. Of all the names and all the dogs, Cooter might be my favorite. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
