Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
You want to go?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Uh, yeah, I can go. My son finished his track tryouts,
and I'm surely proud of him. He was a little
stressed that he didn't do great. So how he handled
that was he just went for like a five mile run.
Stuff's like, good for you knowing how to burn off steam.
But I'm proud of him for knowing that he just
needs to train and work harder to get better. If
(00:29):
he was disappointed in some of his performance, I'm glad
that he's motivated to try to get better. Did he
make it, Yeah, he's made the track team. They were
trying out more so for like the events they would
be racing in.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Were there some that he didn't make?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
There were some where he just didn't like a kid
that he was beating last year was beating him. So
I think that that was something that was hard for
him to process.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That doesn't mean he doesn't get to compete in them.
He just lost in like a heat.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, he still hasn't been assigned. Like Okay, so there's
the track team and then there's all the different events
and so he's trying out for like which event he's
going to be placed? In for the team, and there
were a couple of events where this one kid that
he was beating, no problem, must have been doing some grozurt,
gross spurt something something, because he was like, I mean,
(01:18):
of course he was happy for the other kid. That's
why I also love his heart is because he wasn't
like he's like, wow, that's really awesome. He's gotten so
much better and I need to work harder. And so
I was like, oh good, I just like a proud
mom moment of like you got this figured out.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Is he doing like long jump and all those other ones?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
No, No, just running, just running races like eight hundred,
four hundred relay team.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, mine's a little weird because this morning my wife
is awake when I was leaving, which doesn't happen a lot,
but she reminded me. She said, hey, you have an
entire drawer of cardigans you don't ever wear, just making
sure you know they're there. And so I opened them
up and I found the one that she really it's
not that she hates it, but she's just allowed I
look like a British soldier when I wear this one.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Is that one?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah? The buttons kind of double breasted it's got stripes
down it.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah, it is double breasted.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And you know, she just is not someone that is
looking for attention, and so what this is definitely an
attention wearing cardigan. And so before I left, I was like, hey,
you wake, She's like, yeah, I just hit it with
the Oh my mama, oh my look fly. So I
did a little dance in my card again, She's like,
shut up, sleeve sleeve. So I found a an old
(02:34):
British cardigan.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Well, she's the one that reminded you of the I.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Don't know that she knew that one was in there,
or she might have gotten rid of this one. I
never told me. I don't really know if she does
do that. The thing that has driven her the most
crazy is the re emergence of my old Arkansas shirt.
We did a bit once where we retired clothes that
our wife wanted us to retire. Yes, and so she's like,
I hate the shirt because it has holes all in it.
The hog is pretty much hold out. It's from probably
(03:01):
ninety nine or two thousand the year, and it's complete no,
and it's even worse now. And I thought that we
had gotten rid of them as far as they were
burned or thrown away. But luckily Scuba Steve had my
back and he hit it and so like two years
later he's like, I still got that shirt, and so
I wore it home and it was like a relative
(03:23):
that she didn't like had come back from the dead.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So yeah, Scooba, does he still have my wedding bouquet?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I think I do. Actually, it's still in the closet
if you want it back.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
He gave him back the cowboy shirt too.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, yeah, awesome. I felt bad taking those things that
you guys love so much.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Oh, I did love interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I wear it now and it has a collar my
T shirt that have a collar. The collar's only connected
at two places and then both the nipples are shown
because there was like a logo over it, and the
back is almost completely ripped out. And I wear it
now mostly just for a fact.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
What was so funny is when we were in San Francisco,
like we got all stuff to do interviews and stuff,
and then we went back to your hotel and as
soon as we went into your hotel, he goes in
the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Like I'm talking like seconds, wait, were you with him?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, Because we had to go record our other podcast.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
We were all in the room and then he goes
in the bathroom and he comes out like seconds later.
He's got his like torn up T shirt and shorts
like just like that.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I don't travel anywhere without a cutoff. And again I'd
like to say it's not for exposure of muscles, because
I don't have those, Like I'm an okay shape, but
I just like to feel free, free and easy down
the road. I go.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, a lot of girls are like that though, Like
we immediately bolt in the door, like, throw on a
T shirt, shorts, hair goes in a bun.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And there you go. Yeah us girls, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
So yesterday I went to get gas and I'm going
around my car because I was like getting trash out
of there, and I noticed and nail in my tire.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I'm like, oh my gosh, here we go.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
So luckily there's a place like right by where I
get gas. That's like the guy charges me five bucks
to fix a flat or something if it's like where
it's supposed to be. And so I'm like, hey, man,
I gotta nailing my tire. And we check it out
and he goes over there and gets his little plyers
he's like, dude, I can wiggle this, like, let's just
see if it's even all the way in, pulls it out.
It was not all the way in, so it was
(05:14):
in my tire, but it hadn't gone through where it's
puncturing where air was coming out.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Oh, so I was like, dude, He's like, you're lucky.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
How thick are You're tired?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
So I guess there's a depth of rubber. And if
it doesn't go to the depth of rubber, it doesn't
actually pierce air. Correct If you'd have taken that jeep
to the place where I take my car to get fixed,
they'd have found nine nails in it.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
You did a new muffler and they would have been
punctured all the way through.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
New jeep. You just need a new geep. So yeah,
that's good. So that was awesome. Play me a voicemail
number one.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Ray, I'm going on a first date on Saturday on
a single Moment's literally the only.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Right I have to go on date.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So do I have expectations from this man?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Like and I expecting a.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Little gifts for her first date? Should he bring it up?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You let me know if you're going on a first date,
and I think there could be a lot of Valentine's
dates that are first dates. Actually, it's a reason for
a guy to even go, Hey, doing thing on Valentine's Day.
It's a slightly easier bridge to get to asking somebody
on the date. So I don't think it's crazy that
it's a first date, but I do think there should
be It should be treated with, you know, a little
(06:20):
more romantic respect, even if it's a first date, because
you don't go on a Valentine's Day first date and
not acknowledge it's Valentine's Day. You don't have to do
stuff that's like third date worthy. But yeah, it's Valentine's.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Day, so like some flowers.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, and you should dress up a little more. Not her,
she'll I'm sure she'll dress how she wants to dress.
But the guy doesn't need to wear an untucked polo
shirt and jeans on Valentine's Day. At least tuck it
in and wear something at least ghaki killer jeans. You
have to level it up a little bit all the
way around. So, because it is on Valentine's Day, and
(06:57):
I don't want to get into the debate, of is
valentine Time's Day stupid? Because yeah, sometimes depending on where
you are on your relationship or no, it's not if
it is something that you both care about. But yeah,
it's elevated expectations from the man. Valentine's Day, even if
it's not your thing, should be the day where the
guy opens the doors, should do all those chivalry type things.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
When then you go out with him again on a
normal day and then we wrap. But Valentine's ain't normal,
I know, but it happens to be your first date,
so you're setting the bar.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I think she should understand though, this is not a
bar being set.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Okay, this is just a day.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's a bigger day. It's day.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, that's confusing, it is.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
But that's what you get when you go on to
Valentine's Day date. The weird thing about going out to
dinner on a Valentine's Night is you have to pay
ahead of time. A lot of times, it's like you
have to buy a ticket to get a seat. So
let's just say I was booking at a local Sonic.
We'll say Sonic has a big, fancy Valentine's dinner with
inside tables and waiters I would go, hey, I'm going
(08:01):
to get a reservation. They're like, okay, it's going to
be one hundred dollars to just hold the table, and
that one hundred bucks goes towards your dinner. But they
don't want people making reservations and not showing up on
the busiest night. So just to go out to eat
on Valentine's Day cost money before you go to eat,
but you do end up spending that money anyway, You
just it's just to make.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Sure you're show what the fact that that money goes
to the dinner, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Or it's just a lottery. You get there and see
if you're drawn to get a table. I put us in.
I should hope we get chosen for the table. But
I think the expectation is it's going to be slightly elevated.
I think where the expectation then comes is a slightly
lesser expectation if you go on to date two, because
all the things from date one Valentine's dy Date probablyn't
gonna happen on day two. Hopefully there's that's still the
(08:50):
kind of person he is, but I don't think it's
the same. Do you have any problem with that?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
No, I'm just worry about you know, she needs to know, oh,
the expectations. I worry about what she's thinking life is
going to be like with him.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Don't no, no, no, we don't even thinking about that
on the first day, what life is going to be
like with him?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You don't think about that on the firs.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Day the wedding's going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Like, I think you can have thoughts of, oh, if
this goes farther, right, there are some possibilities, right, but
I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Think but I mean, yeah, showing up with like flowers
or a little box of chocolates because it's Valentine's Day, Yeah,
that's fine.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I men flowers like a bouquet or like just one
little like oh, you're my Valentine ball.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It's fine. I think there's a difference, don't.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
You can't go too hard though, well.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I agree, but yeah, yeah, it's what you can put
in your hands.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Rose petals, rose petals to the car.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
So I think there's a couple of things. If you
just show up with one flower, that's awesome. If you
show up with six flowers, that's awesome. Three is weird.
There's like you don't even want to do in between
you want to do the simple gesture of I got
you a flower or I've got you flowers. But to
do like three, that's odd. You want to go got
boot is weird because it's not really a thing. But
(10:03):
not you hand somebody when you're taking them on a date.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It's not Oh, that's when they sell at the grocery store.
They'll like.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But make sure what you give that that's what you
give somebody to put in their kitchen or their house
or deliver.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, but I'm saying if you show that flower on
a date, though, you take with you.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
You take with you on the date. Yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
If I meet you at the door and I'm like,
boom boom boom, all right, let's go on our date.
I may have five roses for you.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
And I just bring them with me in the car.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You bring it, oh, thank you, and you get on
the car. Oh okay, Or if it's one you bring
over the car, Okay, you think that's weird.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Amy, I don't know. I guess i'd be like, come in,
come in, let's put these in some water, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Trying to let's go baby. Okay. Well I didn't expect
this to be happening so soon.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Okay, to the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
In your house. You never even been on a date, So.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
We're letting him pick her up at her house in
the first day because that's probably not going to happen either.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, that happens.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Okay, So you'll let him know where you live, but.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You cannot go in.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You cannot go Okay, meet me.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Inviting a dude in on the first date.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
You don't even know the guy date?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Maybe Okay, we're acting like if you met him online,
you don't really know him. What if it's like, y'all
do know each other and this first time he's asked
you out?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Okay, Well that's different. Okay if you know him most
first dates, you don't have a history of.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
With this person, or it's like a friend of a
friend and.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
You show up with like forty roses to the door.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yes, too much, So she has to take him inside.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, he's gonna eat He's gonna kill your skin and
eat you. Oh great, if that's the case, Okay, good luck.
I hope you're Valentine's date.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Good luck, especially if you let him in your kitchen.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You think it's okay If you've never been on I
guess I don't. I was thinking, you don't know him,
and he knocks on the door and you're like, come
on in, hey, while you're here, make yourself comfortable taking off.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I was thinking, yeah, it's a first date, but I
kind of might know him, because if it's a first
date from the internet, I'm probably not having him pick
me up at my house.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
On Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Though maybe that's his tactic.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
He's going to wait three hundred and sixty four years
to tactic you day.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
And sixty four days the Valentine's Day. Yes, it's okay.
I I just I'm not going to change my policy
because you should.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's a special day, all right. There you go, good
luck on that day. To hope it goes awesome. You
can set your expectations after date two because Valentine's Day
first date's a fairy tale. Yeah, Okay, there you go. Okay,
there you go. Tell me something good. That's what it's
all about. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
That was tell me something good.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The segment is sponsored by Pfizer. There are a million
reasons not to get a cancer screening. Life gets busy,
Warwick family, kids, and it's easy to let these things
fall to the bottom of your list. Cancer is one
of the hardest health challenges that humanity faces, and lots
of us here on the show. I've been affected by
cancer Amy with her mom. So what I want to
share with you today is that early screening is crucial
in the fight against cancer. More than half of people
(13:03):
don't take the time to get checked out well. Pfizer
is fighting to change that. They have launched a new
experience on their website to get people the help they need.
Hit up Pfiserfurall dot com slash screenings to check what
cancer screenings may be right for you or somebody that
you know, and you can easily schedule a cancer screening again.
Take a moment today or sometime this week to check
(13:24):
out Pfizer's patient focused website Pfiserfurall dot com slash screenings
to see which screenings are right for you and find
the resources to help you or someone in your life
speak to the doctor.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Bobby.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
It's got tim Washburn and Tulsa. He knits beanies all
year long to make sure that the homeless have them
when it gets cold. All year long. That's what he does.
He knits, and he donates. Five years ago, he made
a small donation of his leftover hats to the homeless,
and he was like, man, people really can use these.
So now it's a year long mission. So he sells
(14:06):
his colorful creations of craft shows to buy more, takes
all that profit money, and then makes more and then
gives them away. At end of the year, he's giving
away over seven hundred hats. I bet that dude has
some strong hands. Yeah, oh yeah, like he's just always knitting,
knitting with his fingers. But also, I bet you how
old is Tim does this day? I bet if you're
I don't know if he's old, but I bet if
you're old, knitting is good for you.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I can't break it into knitting because of that. Well
I'm older. I mean, my twenty two year old niece
just started knitting, and I'm like, what, you're ahead of me. Like,
I just think it's a fun thing to do, Like
it can be very therapeutic and calming, but like to
your point, good for your brain as well.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Knitting does not seem fun to me.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
No, I don't know when you get to make it
and give it to somebody, that's fun.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Would you knit us all hats for next time winter
can learn how to knit, we'll do it. Commit to
it right for us, Do it for us and make us.
There are five people in the beanie we want beanies
by the time winter comes around next year.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Did we start with like a mini scarf? It just
seems like going.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
We don't want a mini scar We want all make
the scarf. Commit beanies. Okay, beanies, beanies all around.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Beanies all around.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Next October, mid October. So we want new fresh beanies.
We're giving you a reason now to start.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
He's writing it down, but I don't think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
All right. There you go. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
That was telling me something good. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I have an octogenarian.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Shout out, what's an octogenarian?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Someone in their eighties?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Why is it an octogenarian?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
We all have they're all every decade. Every age has
a thing. Jinearian is like generation octo is eight.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
A person who's from eighty to eighty nine years old. Yeah,
you act like we knew that. I didn't know that.
Oh stupid for not knowing that.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
No, let me tell you how you know when.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Someone worked on octopuses now a veterinarian.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
But you know how when you learn a new word
and then you start to see it more places and
you must have just skipped over it before in and
not registered. Well, my son is being tutored by an octogenarian.
And he put that in a text one day. He
was like, I talked about him and his wife. He's like, oh,
just two octogenarians. And I was like, Google's dirty. No,
So I was like, oh, that's how he refers to
(16:28):
him and his wife. Well, then Savannah Guthrie's mom, she's
eighty four, and some of the new news articles about
her they have referred to as an octogenarian. So now
we all know what it is. And my story is
about Lynn Harris, who's eighty three years old. He's an
Army veteran and he's been volunteering at Saint David's Medical
Center in Austin, Texas. Shout out, that's where I was born.
(16:48):
And he's a baby cuddler for level four.
Speaker 4 (16:51):

Be a baby coping Because his nickname is Uncle Lynn.
His nickname at the home.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It was Uncle associated with creepy though, you know what

I just can't trust y'all.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You didn't say anything to us.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Providing a gentle touch, oh boy. And what he celebrates
when the babies are healthy enough to go home.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
So old, I didn't matter to me. I'm sure it's great.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's awesome. And for two decades he has been volunteering
in Saint David's.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
If Uncle Frank was like, I don't know, forty seven

Has got to be quin Quinn pentagon pin vibe.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's a Quinn quadnarian. Oh, just kidding, Quinn quadnet I
don't know. I'll never use this term hate.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
You never know.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
If I see it, I'll at least know what it means.
But it feels like way too many letters when you
get say fifties. Yes, there you go. That's what it's
all about.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That was telling me something good.
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
You want to go?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Uh, yeah, I can go. My son finished his track tryouts,
and I'm surely proud of him. He was a little
stressed that he didn't do great. So how he handled
that was he just went for like a five mile run.
Stuff's like, good for you knowing how to burn off steam.
But I'm proud of him for knowing that he just
needs to train and work harder to get better. If
(00:29):
he was disappointed in some of his performance, I'm glad
that he's motivated to try to get better. Did he
make it, Yeah, he's made the track team. They were
trying out more so for like the events they would
be racing in.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Were there some that he didn't make?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
There were some where he just didn't like a kid
that he was beating last year was beating him. So
I think that that was something that was hard for
him to process.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
That doesn't mean he doesn't get to compete in them.
He just lost in like a heat.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, he still hasn't been assigned. Like Okay, so there's
the track team and then there's all the different events
and so he's trying out for like which event he's
going to be placed? In for the team, and there
were a couple of events where this one kid that
he was beating, no problem, must have been doing some grozurt,
gross spurt something something, because he was like, I mean,
(01:18):
of course he was happy for the other kid. That's
why I also love his heart is because he wasn't
like he's like, wow, that's really awesome. He's gotten so
much better and I need to work harder. And so
I was like, oh good, I just like a proud
mom moment of like you got this figured out.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Is he doing like long jump and all those other ones?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
No, No, just running, just running races like eight hundred,
four hundred relay team.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, mine's a little weird because this morning my wife
is awake when I was leaving, which doesn't happen a lot,
but she reminded me. She said, hey, you have an
entire drawer of cardigans you don't ever wear, just making
sure you know they're there. And so I opened them
up and I found the one that she really it's
not that she hates it, but she's just allowed I
look like a British soldier when I wear this one.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Is that one?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Yeah? The buttons kind of double breasted it's got stripes
down it.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Yeah, it is double breasted.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And you know, she just is not someone that is
looking for attention, and so what this is definitely an
attention wearing cardigan. And so before I left, I was like, hey,
you wake, She's like, yeah, I just hit it with
the Oh my mama, oh my look fly. So I
did a little dance in my card again, She's like,
shut up, sleeve sleeve. So I found a an old
(02:34):
British cardigan.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Well, she's the one that reminded you of the I.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Don't know that she knew that one was in there,
or she might have gotten rid of this one. I
never told me. I don't really know if she does
do that. The thing that has driven her the most
crazy is the re emergence of my old Arkansas shirt.
We did a bit once where we retired clothes that
our wife wanted us to retire. Yes, and so she's like,
I hate the shirt because it has holes all in it.
The hog is pretty much hold out. It's from probably
(03:01):
ninety nine or two thousand the year, and it's complete no,
and it's even worse now. And I thought that we
had gotten rid of them as far as they were
burned or thrown away. But luckily Scuba Steve had my
back and he hit it and so like two years
later he's like, I still got that shirt, and so
I wore it home and it was like a relative
(03:23):
that she didn't like had come back from the dead.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So yeah, Scooba, does he still have my wedding bouquet?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I think I do. Actually, it's still in the closet
if you want it back.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
He gave him back the cowboy shirt too.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah, yeah, awesome. I felt bad taking those things that
you guys love so much.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Oh, I did love interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I wear it now and it has a collar my
T shirt that have a collar. The collar's only connected
at two places and then both the nipples are shown
because there was like a logo over it, and the
back is almost completely ripped out. And I wear it
now mostly just for a fact.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
What was so funny is when we were in San Francisco,
like we got all stuff to do interviews and stuff,
and then we went back to your hotel and as
soon as we went into your hotel, he goes in
the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Like I'm talking like seconds, wait, were you with him?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, Because we had to go record our other podcast.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
We were all in the room and then he goes
in the bathroom and he comes out like seconds later.
He's got his like torn up T shirt and shorts
like just like that.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I don't travel anywhere without a cutoff. And again I'd
like to say it's not for exposure of muscles, because
I don't have those, Like I'm an okay shape, but
I just like to feel free, free and easy down
the road. I go.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, a lot of girls are like that though, Like
we immediately bolt in the door, like, throw on a
T shirt, shorts, hair goes in a bun.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
And there you go. Yeah us girls, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
So yesterday I went to get gas and I'm going
around my car because I was like getting trash out
of there, and I noticed and nail in my tire.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I'm like, oh my gosh, here we go.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
So luckily there's a place like right by where I
get gas. That's like the guy charges me five bucks
to fix a flat or something if it's like where
it's supposed to be. And so I'm like, hey, man,
I gotta nailing my tire. And we check it out
and he goes over there and gets his little plyers
he's like, dude, I can wiggle this, like, let's just
see if it's even all the way in, pulls it out.
It was not all the way in, so it was
(05:14):
in my tire, but it hadn't gone through where it's
puncturing where air was coming out.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Oh, so I was like, dude, He's like, you're lucky.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
How thick are You're tired?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
So I guess there's a depth of rubber. And if
it doesn't go to the depth of rubber, it doesn't
actually pierce air. Correct If you'd have taken that jeep
to the place where I take my car to get fixed,
they'd have found nine nails in it.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
You did a new muffler and they would have been
punctured all the way through.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
New jeep. You just need a new geep. So yeah,
that's good. So that was awesome. Play me a voicemail
number one.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Ray, I'm going on a first date on Saturday on
a single Moment's literally the only.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Right I have to go on date.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So do I have expectations from this man?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Like and I expecting a.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Little gifts for her first date? Should he bring it up?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You let me know if you're going on a first date,
and I think there could be a lot of Valentine's
dates that are first dates. Actually, it's a reason for
a guy to even go, Hey, doing thing on Valentine's Day.
It's a slightly easier bridge to get to asking somebody
on the date. So I don't think it's crazy that
it's a first date, but I do think there should
be It should be treated with, you know, a little
(06:20):
more romantic respect, even if it's a first date, because
you don't go on a Valentine's Day first date and
not acknowledge it's Valentine's Day. You don't have to do
stuff that's like third date worthy. But yeah, it's Valentine's.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Day, so like some flowers.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, and you should dress up a little more. Not her,
she'll I'm sure she'll dress how she wants to dress.
But the guy doesn't need to wear an untucked polo
shirt and jeans on Valentine's Day. At least tuck it
in and wear something at least ghaki killer jeans. You
have to level it up a little bit all the
way around. So, because it is on Valentine's Day, and
(06:57):
I don't want to get into the debate, of is
valentine Time's Day stupid? Because yeah, sometimes depending on where
you are on your relationship or no, it's not if
it is something that you both care about. But yeah,
it's elevated expectations from the man. Valentine's Day, even if
it's not your thing, should be the day where the
guy opens the doors, should do all those chivalry type things.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
When then you go out with him again on a
normal day and then we wrap. But Valentine's ain't normal,
I know, but it happens to be your first date,
so you're setting the bar.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I think she should understand though, this is not a
bar being set.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Okay, this is just a day.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's a bigger day. It's day.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, that's confusing, it is.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
But that's what you get when you go on to
Valentine's Day date. The weird thing about going out to
dinner on a Valentine's Night is you have to pay
ahead of time. A lot of times, it's like you
have to buy a ticket to get a seat. So
let's just say I was booking at a local Sonic.
We'll say Sonic has a big, fancy Valentine's dinner with
inside tables and waiters I would go, hey, I'm going
(08:01):
to get a reservation. They're like, okay, it's going to
be one hundred dollars to just hold the table, and
that one hundred bucks goes towards your dinner. But they
don't want people making reservations and not showing up on
the busiest night. So just to go out to eat
on Valentine's Day cost money before you go to eat,
but you do end up spending that money anyway, You
just it's just to make.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Sure you're show what the fact that that money goes
to the dinner, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Or it's just a lottery. You get there and see
if you're drawn to get a table. I put us in.
I should hope we get chosen for the table. But
I think the expectation is it's going to be slightly elevated.
I think where the expectation then comes is a slightly
lesser expectation if you go on to date two, because
all the things from date one Valentine's dy Date probablyn't
gonna happen on day two. Hopefully there's that's still the
(08:50):
kind of person he is, but I don't think it's
the same. Do you have any problem with that?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
No, I'm just worry about you know, she needs to know, oh,
the expectations. I worry about what she's thinking life is
going to be like with him.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Don't no, no, no, we don't even thinking about that
on the first day, what life is going to be
like with him?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
You don't think about that on the firs.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Day the wedding's going to be.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Like, I think you can have thoughts of, oh, if
this goes farther, right, there are some possibilities, right, but
I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Think but I mean, yeah, showing up with like flowers
or a little box of chocolates because it's Valentine's Day, Yeah,
that's fine.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
I men flowers like a bouquet or like just one
little like oh, you're my Valentine ball.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It's fine. I think there's a difference, don't.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
You can't go too hard though, well.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I agree, but yeah, yeah, it's what you can put
in your hands.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Rose petals, rose petals to the car.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
So I think there's a couple of things. If you
just show up with one flower, that's awesome. If you
show up with six flowers, that's awesome. Three is weird.
There's like you don't even want to do in between
you want to do the simple gesture of I got
you a flower or I've got you flowers. But to
do like three, that's odd. You want to go got
boot is weird because it's not really a thing. But
(10:03):
not you hand somebody when you're taking them on a date.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It's not Oh, that's when they sell at the grocery store.
They'll like.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But make sure what you give that that's what you
give somebody to put in their kitchen or their house
or deliver.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yeah, but I'm saying if you show that flower on
a date, though, you take with you.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
You take with you on the date. Yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
If I meet you at the door and I'm like,
boom boom boom, all right, let's go on our date.
I may have five roses for you.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
And I just bring them with me in the car.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You bring it, oh, thank you, and you get on
the car. Oh okay, Or if it's one you bring
over the car, Okay, you think that's weird.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Amy, I don't know. I guess i'd be like, come in,
come in, let's put these in some water, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Trying to let's go baby. Okay. Well I didn't expect
this to be happening so soon.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Okay, to the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
In your house. You never even been on a date, So.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
We're letting him pick her up at her house in
the first day because that's probably not going to happen either.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, that happens.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Okay, So you'll let him know where you live, but.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You cannot go in.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You cannot go Okay, meet me.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Inviting a dude in on the first date.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
You don't even know the guy date?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Maybe Okay, we're acting like if you met him online,
you don't really know him. What if it's like, y'all
do know each other and this first time he's asked
you out?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Okay, Well that's different. Okay if you know him most
first dates, you don't have a history of.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
With this person, or it's like a friend of a
friend and.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
You show up with like forty roses to the door.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yes, too much, So she has to take him inside.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, he's gonna eat He's gonna kill your skin and
eat you. Oh great, if that's the case, Okay, good luck.
I hope you're Valentine's date.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Good luck, especially if you let him in your kitchen.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You think it's okay If you've never been on I
guess I don't. I was thinking, you don't know him,
and he knocks on the door and you're like, come
on in, hey, while you're here, make yourself comfortable taking off.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I was thinking, yeah, it's a first date, but I
kind of might know him, because if it's a first
date from the internet, I'm probably not having him pick
me up at my house.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
On Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Though maybe that's his tactic.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
He's going to wait three hundred and sixty four years
to tactic you day.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
And sixty four days the Valentine's Day. Yes, it's okay.
I I just I'm not going to change my policy
because you should.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's a special day, all right. There you go, good
luck on that day. To hope it goes awesome. You
can set your expectations after date two because Valentine's Day
first date's a fairy tale. Yeah, Okay, there you go. Okay,
there you go. Tell me something good. That's what it's
all about. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
That was tell me something good.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The segment is sponsored by Pfizer. There are a million
reasons not to get a cancer screening. Life gets busy,
Warwick family, kids, and it's easy to let these things
fall to the bottom of your list. Cancer is one
of the hardest health challenges that humanity faces, and lots
of us here on the show. I've been affected by
cancer Amy with her mom. So what I want to
share with you today is that early screening is crucial
in the fight against cancer. More than half of people
(13:03):
don't take the time to get checked out well. Pfizer
is fighting to change that. They have launched a new
experience on their website to get people the help they need.
Hit up Pfiserfurall dot com slash screenings to check what
cancer screenings may be right for you or somebody that
you know, and you can easily schedule a cancer screening again.
Take a moment today or sometime this week to check
(13:24):
out Pfizer's patient focused website Pfiserfurall dot com slash screenings
to see which screenings are right for you and find
the resources to help you or someone in your life
speak to the doctor.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Bobby.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
It's got tim Washburn and Tulsa. He knits beanies all
year long to make sure that the homeless have them
when it gets cold. All year long. That's what he does.
He knits, and he donates. Five years ago, he made
a small donation of his leftover hats to the homeless,
and he was like, man, people really can use these.
So now it's a year long mission. So he sells
(14:06):
his colorful creations of craft shows to buy more, takes
all that profit money, and then makes more and then
gives them away. At end of the year, he's giving
away over seven hundred hats. I bet that dude has
some strong hands. Yeah, oh yeah, like he's just always knitting,
knitting with his fingers. But also, I bet you how
old is Tim does this day? I bet if you're
I don't know if he's old, but I bet if
you're old, knitting is good for you.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I can't break it into knitting because of that. Well
I'm older. I mean, my twenty two year old niece
just started knitting, and I'm like, what, you're ahead of me. Like,
I just think it's a fun thing to do, Like
it can be very therapeutic and calming, but like to
your point, good for your brain as well.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Knitting does not seem fun to me.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
No, I don't know when you get to make it
and give it to somebody, that's fun.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Would you knit us all hats for next time winter
can learn how to knit, we'll do it. Commit to
it right for us, Do it for us and make us.
There are five people in the beanie we want beanies
by the time winter comes around next year.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Did we start with like a mini scarf? It just
seems like going.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
We don't want a mini scar We want all make
the scarf. Commit beanies. Okay, beanies, beanies all around.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Beanies all around.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Next October, mid October. So we want new fresh beanies.
We're giving you a reason now to start.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
He's writing it down, but I don't think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
All right. There you go. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
That was telling me something good. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I have an octogenarian.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Shout out, what's an octogenarian?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Someone in their eighties?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Why is it an octogenarian?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
We all have they're all every decade. Every age has
a thing. Jinearian is like generation octo is eight.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
A person who's from eighty to eighty nine years old. Yeah,
you act like we knew that. I didn't know that.
Oh stupid for not knowing that.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
No, let me tell you how you know when.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Someone worked on octopuses now a veterinarian.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
But you know how when you learn a new word
and then you start to see it more places and
you must have just skipped over it before in and
not registered. Well, my son is being tutored by an octogenarian.
And he put that in a text one day. He
was like, I talked about him and his wife. He's like, oh,
just two octogenarians. And I was like, Google's dirty. No,
So I was like, oh, that's how he refers to
(16:28):
him and his wife. Well, then Savannah Guthrie's mom, she's
eighty four, and some of the new news articles about
her they have referred to as an octogenarian. So now
we all know what it is. And my story is
about Lynn Harris, who's eighty three years old. He's an
Army veteran and he's been volunteering at Saint David's Medical
Center in Austin, Texas. Shout out, that's where I was born.
(16:48):
And he's a baby cuddler for level four.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Neek you wow, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You need to pass a lot of background checks to.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Be a baby coping Because his nickname is Uncle Lynn.
His nickname at the home.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It was Uncle associated with creepy though, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I know that, I know, I know, I know. He
works as a medic at being in Vietnam, and now
he helps calm infants by talking to them and providing.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
What gets worse.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
I just can't trust y'all.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You didn't say anything to us.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Providing a gentle touch, oh boy. And what he celebrates
when the babies are healthy enough to go home.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
So old, I didn't matter to me. I'm sure it's great.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
It's awesome. And for two decades he has been volunteering
in Saint David's.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
If Uncle Frank was like, I don't know, forty seven
doing this.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
With AA, it'd be weirder. Yeah, change it to like
Grandpa Frank, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I agree, Grandpa feels safer, Great Grandpa in or whatever,
great safer safer did a quadragenarian.

A how about sceptor genarian seventies? Yeah, sexagenarian sixties?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
What's fine? Is pentagonarian?

Has got to be quin Quinn pentagon pin vibe.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's a Quinn quadnarian. Oh, just kidding, Quinn quadnet I
don't know. I'll never use this term hate.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
You never know.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
If I see it, I'll at least know what it means.
But it feels like way too many letters when you
get say fifties. Yes, there you go. That's what it's
all about.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That was telling me something good.
