Speaker 1 (00:01):
I took a nap yesterday for the first time since
baby Billy was born like a real nap I finished
here 1230 or so or one and I didn't have
anything to do until four we were doing a bobby
cast a little later it was Luke Brian coming over
(00:21):
to the house and so I went home and wrote
a little bit thought I think I can just fall
asleep and I fell asleep for an hour wasn't woken
up by alarm man That's where it's at. I'd be
a much happier person if I had time to take
a nap every day. And Caitlin didn't wake me up.
I think she avoided waking me up, which was very
nice of her. So first nap I had in seven months.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Where do they do the siesta? Is that Spain? Spain.
it's a lot of latin latin countries because that sounds
great built-in siesta.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah i don't like that because then your work day
goes till 7 or 8 p.m yeah you still have
to do your work yeah you have to go back
and finish and dinner is not till 10 p.m it's
a good point so give take on that uh-huh so
that was nice feel pretty good even in the evening
i was kind of refreshed this is pretty amazing then
i had a little trouble sleeping so again give take
it's one of those my sleep score wasn't that good
(01:15):
last night but got a good nap i think that's
my my whole day yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You So my daughter's computer is sort of breaking down,
which is one of my old laptops that I gave her.
And I was like, oh, and she's got schoolwork. So
I'm like, OK, got to figure this out. So in
the meantime, I found an old iPad that we have
and I couldn't get into it. And I was trying
(01:41):
to figure out, OK, what's the code? You know, and
it kept disabling me because I would type in some
of my go to pins.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Which are what?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I almost just said.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Run those by us.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I've had some for years. So it's like, golly. Well,
I was like, oh, I was married during the time
that this iPad was active. So then reached out to
my ex-husband, figured some stuff out. We're in business. And
so now we've got a running iPad that can, I guess,
till we figure out what's going on with the computer,
which I'm nervous that it's going to just be kaput.
(02:16):
And we're going to maybe have to get... a new one,
but I'm just glad we've got access into the iPad now.
And I'm thankful for Ben remembering what it was. And
I just had it like stored in a closet.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That makes me nervous when I miss like three in
a row, like it's going to explode.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh, yes.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Like Inspector Gadget.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Wait, when you, oh, when you miss the code.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Or it's going to lock up for like five hours.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, like sometimes if I miss my password logging into
my bank, it'll go one more time and you're done.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Well, I used to go to the ATM way more frequently.
It just don't go as much anymore. So now I struggle.
Like I have to keep it written somewhere and I
look it up.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Your pen?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, I can't. Right now, I couldn't tell you. If
I was in front of an ATM, I'd be like.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I don't know mine right now. But when I get there,
I know it every time based on just muscle memory.
So I don't know it. Yeah, I don't know it
from my brain.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, I mean, there's a few right now I would
have to like play around with. But so it started
to stress me out anytime I go to the ATM.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So I.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Emailed it to myself.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
You know, what's gotten me so bad is like, not
like you miss, you don't know a password, right? And
then it's, you finally get the password and then it's like, great.
Your code has been, your authenticity, what is it? Whatever
authentication code has been sent to this phone. I'm like,
that's not my phone anymore. Oh, I don't even know
how to get that number.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
There's a lot of steps.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You have to call your bank.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I do.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I've messed up so many times. It's locked me out
and I've tried to law. I look at my bank
accounts like three times a day. And I change my
passwords a lot. And so it'll go one more time
and we're going to lock you out. And he goes,
your page has been locked. So I have to call
the bank. Tail between my legs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Hey, it's me.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I promise.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
When you go and look, like what are you looking for?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Make sure I haven't been scammed. Make sure there's, I
have like two accounts that are connected to the ability
to be scammed.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And then a credit card account, which I don't worry
about that as much getting scammed because if it does,
I can always just get that back. You just file
a complaint and they give your money back. but I
have two debit-y type accounts that I worry about where
the money's coming.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Out of that.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And then also I have investment accounts. I just want
to see what it's done in the market that day
because they go up and down.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Well, yeah, those change by the hour. I get like
checking that sort of stuff, but I didn't know your
other accounts. I'm like, is this what we're.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Doing wrong, guys?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Should we be checking our accounts?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I don't think that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I'm just scam-proofing.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And not multiple times a day.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh, I'm three times a day.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I'm scam-proofing, and then I'm just watching to see where
the markets have taken some of my investment accounts.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I keep it on my phone too, certain parts of it,
just to see the baseline from that month. Also, I
used to weigh myself three times a day. Anything I'm
caring about, I do over and over again just to
see progress. I did weigh myself yesterday for the first time,
probably four months, just because there was a scale there.
I have no need to weigh myself right now because
I feel good and I'm not doing anything full body
(05:08):
on camera, so don't care. As long as my clothes
fit and I feel healthy, I'm good. But I did
weigh myself. I was 165 yesterday, which is about where
I need to be That's good. Yeah. So I was like, man,
nice job, dude.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Dude, I'm really heavy right now.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Either the five scales that I've tried are broken.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They definitely could be.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
You have five?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You know the rule.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Do six.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Where have you encountered five scales?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So the first one was the doctor's office. And I
was like, that's high. That can't be right. And then
the other one's the gym. And then I have one
at home. And I'm like, they're all saying 190. And
I'm like, I've never been 190 in my life. Ever.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Are your clothes fitting tighter?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But I mean, not overly tight. Just a little tighter
than normal.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
What are you going to do about it?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I mean, I'm working on it. Change his life.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But you're not working on it. You say that to everything.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Last night I ate chicken breast and sweet potatoes.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But do you understand you say you're working on everything
we possibly say and you go, I'm working on it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But sometimes I don't tell you guys the result. I
worked on stuff and then sometimes I have a result,
but I don't share that with you guys.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But why wouldn't you whenever you say you work on
so many things and we question you? Why would you
not come in and give us the answers? That way
we'd stop busting your balls so much.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So maybe I come in in like a month and
be like, guys, I'm at 160.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Well, no, not just your weight. I'm just saying in general.
You've got the reputation as someone who doesn't really follow through.
But if you are secretly following through, let us know
so you don't have that reputation anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Yeah, what about those squats? How are they coming? Good.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I did squats yesterday. Yesterday was leg day. Yes, I
did squats, lunges, all that.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And how many times have you done that in the
past month? A month?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
A month. Five or six. Well, that's a lot. Yeah,
five or six times.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
If you're doing legs one time a week, I would
subtract half of that.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
No, no, no, no. You have to believe me.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
No, no, no. So twice?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He's probably done it two times.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
When you did your testosterone test, you said, oh, I'm
going to change my life. I'm going to eat different.
I'm going to work out. I'm going to do this.
And you're your heaviest ever.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And then two weeks ago, you were saying you haven't
even been working out.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, that's not true because I think some of it
could be muscle.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Muscle weight?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
From what?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Working out, bro.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You just said two weeks ago you weren't working out,
and all of a sudden you've been working out all
this time. You did say that.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah. I don't know. I don't feel fat. You know
what I mean? I don't feel soft, really. I feel
like I just couldn't believe the numbers when they came in.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
190?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's heavy.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Okay, for you, maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I've never been one. I think the heaviest I've ever
been was like 180.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm not shaming you on the number.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
It's because he's yoked.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm not saying that. Just some muscle does weigh more
than fat. What if I'm getting muscle down there, guys?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Down where?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Down the abs, the legs. The squats, Amy.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Down there.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
What did you think I was talking about?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Well, it went a little weird.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I've never heard anybody.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Say down there.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We were talking about my legs, the squats.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
But you said two weeks ago you weren't working out.
Not as much, but I have.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
So you think that the muscle has developed in two weeks?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Possibly. I don't know, guys.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I don't know. Just feel healthy. It's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I have my appointment coming up in two weeks.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You better really start working out.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's kind of why I'm buckling down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
So for like the blood work, I guess?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, the blood work. Two weeks, the lab. I'm nervous.
Because if it comes back where the testosterone is still low.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It's going to be. You haven't done enough to change it.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I'm going to have to do yams or whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
A yam pellet.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
But good.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You had yams for dinner last night, so that's good.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, sweet potatoes.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Why not just do like TRT?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You're not going to have any more kids.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Testosterone replacement therapy.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That scares me, man. That chemical testosterone stuff scares me.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
You probably put so many chemicals in your body that
are working negatively against you.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
The beer, the wine.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're just choosing.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Like an injection? That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Like into your leg or what?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I don't know. I've never taken it.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Down there?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I have a lot of friends that.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Have taken it. Or I have a few friends that
have taken it. I never have because... Once you do that,
you can't have kids. And this is pre-Billy. I even
looked it up. And I was like, oh, I can't
because if I do that, then I can't have a kid.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That can be a good selling point for me then.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Well, I just secretly do it. A prescription medical treatment
that delivers synthetic testosterone directly into the body to restore
hormone levels in men with clinically low testosterone. It is
injected into a muscle or under the skin. It's given
anywhere from once a week to once every few weeks
or months, depending on the specific type of testosterone you want.
And mostly it's just to get it back normal.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And then once it's normal, I mean, you still have
to keep doing it, right?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Yeah, because it's fake.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Synthetic. That's the key word I heard you say.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You have to keep doing allergy medicine too.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I'm not, I don't do, oh, I do Zyrtec, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
So when you think, well, I don't know if I
can do something regularly to make myself healthier, you do
that already.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
And once a month isn't crazy. Once a week isn't
even that hard.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Then we got to look at price. How expensive is that?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
That's absolutely a factor.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
We're cheering for you, man.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Thank you. dude.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Absolutely a factor. What were we talking about?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I got into my iPad.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
That's where I'm starting. It's $ 20 a month, up to,
at the most, $ 100 a month.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Oh, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
$ 20 is good. I like $ 20. $ 20 a month, that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You can do that. That's the kind you get from
Waffle House. Oh, no.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
No, I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You can also get a yam pellet every four months.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
How much is that?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That also feels a little too organic for me.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
The plant-based testosterone?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's what I love. The organic.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I would want it to work hard and fast. Get
me to the place.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
My blood work shows that my testosterone's up.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I hear you. And for you, that's great.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I would just go, okay, if I'm going to do this,
redline me.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And Eddie, I guess I don't know because I go
to my OB.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh, and it's covered in that?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
And then... Yeah, I don't know how much my, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Or maybe she just sends me a bill and then
I pay it. But I'm also getting other things done.
So I don't, I can ask though.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
My dog had that thing on its ear. And so Dr.
Jesse came and like let all the blood of it out.
The hematobin, I believe is what it's called. And so
it's developed again. Sometimes it just fills back up with blood.
And so she's coming back today at 1230 to again,
remove the blood from it. But now she has to
put basically a pump In his ear and then wrap
(11:18):
his head.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh, man.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I can't do surgery with him right now. He's had
over 10 surgeries. He's also over 8 years old, and
bulldogs are really old at 8 years old. And so
I don't want to put him under because that's a
real risk with anything old. So no anesthesia, but she's like, hey,
it's going to be draining for 3 or 4 days.
There could be, like, liquid everywhere. So now we've got
to keep him in his room.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Liquid as in blood.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Blood and pus.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
He's got to wear a. A drain on his head.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Damn, poor guy.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Dude, it's constant with him. It has been constant his
whole life.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Good job on that iPad, though.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Congrats.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Rin. Eddie. My son, my oldest, has successfully applied for
his first college application. Sent it off yesterday. Like, it's
pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Did you do it with him?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
His mom did it with him.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
What did it consist of? What is a college application
like these days?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So you have all these things you fill out, all
your personal information... Do you know?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I felt the same way, Amy. When he started talking
about it, I felt the same way you did.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Because you said, did you do it?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
He goes, oh, his mom did it. And then you
ask him what it consists of, and he's like, well,
there's questions.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Well, I thought maybe he looked at it.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You said your name.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Your address. Then Amy and I both went, he has
no idea.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Which is fine.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Did you look at it, yes or no?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yes, I looked at it. Personal information. And then he
had to fill out reasons why he wants to go there,
of course.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Like an essay?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Kind of, but it was only like, you know, a
few sentences. And then optional, he could shoot a video.
explaining why he took the option. He did do that. Great.
And I got him the clothes. I'm like, wear this,
do your hair like that. Mention these things.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It just sounded like you didn't know what you're talking
about when you started. And that's on us for laughing. Hey,
hand out. I messed up. I should have done that.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I apologize.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I'll be honest too. I don't know about the personal information.
I just figured.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
We're all coming clean now.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But yes, all the essays, the question stuff, the video,
all that was part of it. Um, transcripts, stuff like that.
So yeah, man, it's pretty crazy that he's actually looking
at colleges because he was the one that was like, dude,
you've got to get your grades right or else you're
never going to go to college. And his grades have
been really good for the last couple of years. And
he has options. Uh, no, I think his problem was
(13:31):
there was too much going on in school, like social
life where he was just like, I'm, I love the
social life more than I like school. And so he's homeschooled.
He's been homeschooled for the last couple of years. And
so he has no distractions. He works all the way
to like one o'clock solid, just him. He's got his own, um,
what do you call that? Um, curriculum and he follows it.
(13:54):
Sometimes he gets ahead, takes Fridays off. He loves it.
Like he loves working at his own pace, which I
never just realized how good that would be for someone
like him.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
How does he feel though, about going back to a
traditional classroom setting?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
He's a little nervous.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Because you want to talk about social life, college is
where it really explodes.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Where you have like full autonomy.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I know. I mean, luckily he kind of knows what
he wants to do. And his passion really is like movies.
Like he really wants to be a filmmaker. And so
anything that kind of gets him towards anything that can
get him closer to being a filmmaker, he's excited about.
And like, I think that with that in mind, he
won't be so sidetracked by social stuff because he loves
(14:34):
that so much.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Do you want him to go close or far?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Man, I'm kind of 50-50 on that. You can see
the benefits of both? Because I want him to go
far to experience that. I don't want him in town
where he can just come home for dinner every day
because he would. He's such a homebody that he would
be here every weekend. And I want him to go
away and go experience that and have a weekend to himself.
You decide what to do this weekend. Don't put it
on us. And so I'm like half and half because
(15:01):
I'm definitely going to miss him if he does go
out of town.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Also, if it's in town, he may come home during
the week and do laundry at home. But then also,
he's not far away, and that's good.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I've talked to some other dads that deal with that,
where their kid goes to college here, and they're like, oh,
we have a rule, man. You can't come home during
the week at all. You're not allowed. Sometimes they do,
but they kind of make it where like, dude, do
your college life. You want to come on the weekends?
You can.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
How far was your college from your house?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Growing up?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, well, when you first moved off.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Two hours, door to door.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
That's good. That's just long enough.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I liked that it was far enough away to where
I was away, but close enough to where if I
wanted to come home on the weekend, it was no problem. Yeah.
And I would.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
You would?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, there were times where I was like, oh, you
know what? I'm going to go home this weekend.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That's about an hour and a half. I never went home.
I didn't have anywhere to stay. I slept on the couch.
I didn't have a bedroom. I had a bedroom. I
had a dorm, and that was really amazing. I got
out of bed. So I guess if I ever went home,
it was just like a brief swing by or something
because it wasn't like I was going to do laundry
or eat food or I didn't have anywhere to stay
at home. It had been cool to go farther, but
(16:12):
I couldn't. I was working. Like I was already in
my career then, so I had to stay pretty close. But, yeah,
I told Billy, like, when she goes to the University
of Arkansas.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
When she does.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, that's, you know, nine hours. That's just long enough.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That was me, eight, nine hours.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It was that far away it was that far away
it was north of Texas yeah dude from all the
way down to Sam Houston State yes I always thought
it was kind of close so like from McAllen to
Houston was about seven hour drive.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It's that far yeah man I didn't realize that wow.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
And so yeah so one hour north of Houston but
I wanted that like dude I wanted to get out
of my house so bad like that was a goal
for me like I want to just go and experience
stuff all by myself make my own decisions so like
I picked somewhere far In the state.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Did you almost go near your house?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I did for the first year and a half after
I graduated. I lived at home and took classes at
the school down there.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
From McAllen to Sam Houston State University right now, seven hours.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
They probably built tolls and stuff since your days. Highways. Yeah, yeah.
I'm shocked it was that far.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I know.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Sometimes I'm shocked at how big Texas or how tall
California is on average. Because a friend was, they live
in San Francisco and they were down in Los Angeles.
I was like, do you guys just drive or fly?
And they're like, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
That's so far.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I was like, well, you just didn't drive, hop down
the street? Yeah. You're in the same state. We can
get over to Memphis in 245 or so from here.
No problem. Oh, that's exciting. Well, I know you, thanks
for being honest about it, but it's exciting now that
the next chapter of his life is happening.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I know. And he did take his ACT for the
second time. We're waiting on those results. He felt way
better on the second time for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Does he need a certain score?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah. For the schools that he's looking at? Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
How far is it from the score that he has?
Because that first score is never going to be great.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
He's not far. He's not far from the score that
he needs, but he said he tried his hardest the
first time, and that's kind of what worried him. I
don't know if I can do better than that. But
when he came back from the second test, he was like, oh, yeah,
I feel way better about this one.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Just taking it. And having the understanding of what's going
to happen helps so much. That's why I tell my niece,
you need to take this thing five times. To where
you're walking in the fifth time, you're like, oh, I've
done this. I'm bored with even getting here. I know
what to do. Give me the pencil. Let's get started.
I've also been taught recently that now they take from
all of your tests, because there are different areas, right?
There's math. There's English. There's whatever. You can take your
(18:51):
highest from all of them, and it goes into one.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Oh, that's cool. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, so if you score a 24... Overall, but you
have a 21 in English. Well, your next time you
take it, let's say you only score higher in your English.
You can use that English score now on your overall.
I may not be explaining that properly, but did that
make sense at all?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That didn't happen. Also, it's been 100 years since I've
taken mine. But you got it in a big, tall envelope.
But I took mine the first time in seventh grade,
and I was so nervous in seventh grade to open it.
But you got the big envelope, and you're like, oh,
my God, I want to look in here. And you
pull it up. Now it's probably online. You can probably
log on and see it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Man, who was guiding you through this process? Because like. Nobody.
But how did you even have the idea of like, oh,
I've got to take the SAT or I take the ACT?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I never took the SAT.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
But like school, like did they say like, hey, because like,
how would you go take it in seventh grade?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I was in gifted and talented all the way through
school and I was. on the quiz bowl team and
I was like in seventh grade, I was a captain
of the 12th grade team. So I just had people
that I knew that were taking it in like ninth
and 10th grade. And I would see them taking it early.
And I remember asking, can I take it in the
seventh grade? I said, you can take it whenever you want.
Cause you got to pay for it. Yeah. And so
I took it and yeah, took it in seventh grade.
(20:09):
Got a 23 in seventh grade.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
You took it once?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
No, I took it many times later. I took it
again in ninth grade, once in 10th. I started taking
the ACT prep classes as well in 11th. Crushed it
my 11th and 12th grade years. Oh, it crushed it
for me. I kind of hit my peak. What do
you see there, Mike? The ACT super score combines your
highest section scores through the multiple test dates to create
(20:34):
a single higher composite score. That's nice.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
That's legit. And that's everywhere? Mike?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
It just says the ACT general.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
All right, good luck to him.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, we're excited. And I mean, dude, I think about me,
like no one, my parents didn't go to college, so
like no one in my family said, hey, you're a
junior now, you should probably be looking at colleges. So
when I became a senior and I remember all my
friends being like, I just got accepted to Texas, I'm like,
how did you do that? Like, how'd you get accepted?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Did you guys have a counselor that was telling you stuff?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah, barely. But you had to like, Chase that.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
You did?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah. Like, I remember them talking about a counselor. If
you have any interest, talk to this counselor. But, like,
no one ever did that. No one went.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I'm trying to think. I can't remember. I wish I
would have had somebody guide me to be like, yeah,
you should apply to multiple universities, not just one.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Is that what you did?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
One?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah, just one. Because I was like, well, that's where
my sister went, so that's where I'm going to go.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
But you got in.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I didn't get in. Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Not a first.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Not my first year.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
She went out near a college.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
So then I went to Blinn.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Do you know a lot of people do that here
at Tennessee? If they want to go to Tennessee and
they can't get in, they go to the the junior
college right next to it that's in Knoxville. And then
if you finish a certain amount of credits there, you
automatically can get into Tennessee. So they go live there
in the city, go there, and then automatically get the
bump in.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Mine wasn't automatic, but my motivation was, I was so,
my ego, I think everything in me was so like, oh,
this can't happen. I can't believe I didn't get in.
So I was so driven and I locked in.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Misprint? You think it was a misprint when you got
the letter? Did you get a letter?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You don't remember opening it and being crushed?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Honestly, I don't think I was that surprised. But I
just thought, well, dang. And then I had other friends
going to Blinn, too. So it worked out. And we
all lived together. And then I had friends at A & M.
So it felt like we still went there.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Did you feel.
Like you were minimized whenever you would talk to people
from A & M, but you were in the same
town going to blend. And they'd be like, you're.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Not really going. No, if I ever felt that, I
think it was internal. I think I was projecting that
upon myself. Like if I picked up on that, I thought,
I don't think they're actually really judging me. I think
I'm judging me. Because certainly my friends that I hung
out with, They didn't. They got it. And then all
my roommates, we were in the, I lived with, there's
four of us girls and we all had an apartment
(23:01):
and all four of us were at blend trying to
get into A & M. So that helped feel very normal.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So it's very common that people did that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Thankfully I was able to meet these other girls. And
then one of them though, one of them, she would
lie and say she went to A & M.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
That's insecurity.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I mean, I get it, but it, it caught, like,
we didn't know she, I mean, to like her family.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh, oh, that's her, she probably lied to her parents.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I mean, it was a whole thing, like, to where
I was like, well, I hope when they come busy,
you don't expect, you don't expect us to be like,
gotta go to campus.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
The big one.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
So that was a little weird.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
It's like Ray, whenever Ray's parents would come and he
would get his buddy's house. Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
He'd put his diploma on the wall.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
He didn't want them to see he was living with
a lunchbox and squalor. I don't think that's as serious
as the college lying. What'd you say? I don't think
that's as serious as the college lying, but sure.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah, like I was like, how many people think you
go to A & M?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Hold on, but Ray, like, dude, you walked your parents
to that room that wasn't yours, right? I'm like, is
this my room? It was just more.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
to create the image that I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
That's a lie. Well, you said it's create the image.
That means a lie. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
But I wasn't like, Hey, I'm going to an entirely
different school for four years. This was, uh, I live
in a whole different house. Not that I, I mean,
I could have just been there for a week or two.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And he staged it with like hats on the dresser. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Pictures. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
But I will say, yeah, when your ego is a
little damaged and you're, you're motivated, I left blend with a, um,
3.9 and got in straight away. So then my sophomore year,
and then I went through rush. So I didn't, that's
when I rushed a sorority.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
So you only went one year to blend?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
My freshman year. And then by sophomore year, I was
at A & M and I became a Kappa. And
then I was just a year. And it helped too,
because when I was going through rush, like some of
my girlfriends from high school that rushed freshman year, then
they were sophomores in that sorority. And they were like,
oh yeah, we went to high school with Amy. Because
rushing as a sophomore can feel a little weird too,
because most people are doing it as a freshman, but
(25:09):
I felt like I, then I had people already in,
so they were able to help get me in.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Is it an automatic in, if you have a certain
grade point at the junior college in the town?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't, I don't know. I don't remember. I just
know that I said, what, what do I need to
do exactly to get in? And the counselors at Blinn
are obviously used to working with everybody. That's everybody's goal
is to try to go to A & M or
everybody that I knew there. So I just did everything
the counselor told me. Like whatever I needed to take,
(25:39):
whatever my grades needed to be. And 3.9, that's the
highest GPA I've ever had. Because once I got an
A & M, the lock-in sort of stopped.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Being locked in.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Being locked in, yeah. I thought you meant like a
church lock-in.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, lock-in.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Are you on lock-ins at one?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
No, but I'm like, dang, I wish that whatever, however
my brain works, you know, I wish it was motivated
like that all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But it was out of shame. Yeah, it was motivated
out of... If you don't, you fail.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
You need that fire.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I didn't like how it felt not getting in, and
I had to prove it to myself and other people.
And then I got in, and I was like, okay.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
And then she didn't graduate.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Oh, so bad.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Well, I did.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Eventually, yeah, from tech to tech.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
No, my diploma is from Texas A & M.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, but did you graduate from there?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
But where did you finish?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
No, I took three hours.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Where did you finish, though?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Bobby, you're acting as if plenty of people take three
hours elsewhere, and it still applies towards their diploma.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Where was those three hours? Texas Tech. Oh, so you're
a red raider.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
She's a red raider.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
She's a dyed and true red raider. Hey, guns up, Amy.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Woo!
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I'm in North Carolina something because that's where I took
my last three hours.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Tar Heel?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You were at Tar Heel too?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Wait. No, remember?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Carolina Blue.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Wait.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I was taking a three-hour correspondence. I was at A &
M my senior year, taking a three-hour correspondence class at
Texas Tech in addition to however many hours I had
at A & M, but it was correspondence.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You're an A & M person. I'm just giving you
a hard time.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah, like what?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
You can claim like 10 schools at this point.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Alabama.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Would your parents be in Alabama and Auburn and- Texas
A & M and you finish at Texas Tech and Carolina.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
My half sister went to Tech.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah. There you go.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
There's just a little bit. You got a national championship
always somewhere. Then your boyfriend for a while was Tennessee.
So you were involved in Auburn. Vanderbilt, Auburn, and UVA. Oh, Virginia.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Virginia.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
But we went to a Tennessee game once.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
You went to a Virginia game too.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
I did go to a Virginia game because that's his school.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You're in with all those schools.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Auburn was just what he was raised. UVA is where
he went.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah. There you go.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I really liked UVA.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Code of many colors.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Take it, Amy.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Take what? You're good.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
That's just your story.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, there's lots of... But my diploma says A & M.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I know. I was just giving you a hard time.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
We don't need to get into all the details, but.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
What do you mean? We just did.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Does your diploma hang on your wall? We got into every.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Detail right there.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Okay, but not all of it.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
There's more?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yes, we got into all the details.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I didn't say how I didn't finish at Texas Tech.
And then in 2008, I had to confess to y'all
on air.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, she told us on the show that she never finished.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Yeah, I'm like, hey guys, I didn't finish, but I'm
enrolled in a class... at some school in North Carolina
and I'm finishing my three hours and my advisor at
A & M says it will count. And then they
mailed me my diploma and my diploma says 2008.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
But you did walk?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Oh yeah, I walked.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
They handed me an empty tube.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I didn't realize that Texas Tech was where you didn't
finish the correspondence. I thought that's where you took the
correspondence that got you the degree.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
No, I was an unconventional student and I went in
as an adult, adult, adult to college classes.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Three adult?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
They labeled you three adult? No, but wow. Okay. Lunchbox yours?
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yeah, I was just popping around on the internet last
night and I went to people.com and there's a story
that DJ Pauly D was performing in Vegas. And he
stopped his set, brought his girlfriend up on stage, and
he proposed. After six years of dating, he met her
on his dating show, Second Shot at Love on MTV.
They've been dating six years, and they're getting hitched. And
(29:14):
I was like, man, that's so cool. DJ Pauly D.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Has he not been married? No, never been married. And
that moved you so much that your personal tell me something?
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Yeah, I was excited for Pauly D.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Have you ever met him?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You would know if you had.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
No. Okay.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
No.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Have you ever met him?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
DJ Pauly D?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I mean, he had to think about it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I don't even know who that is.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
I mean, he did perform at our iHeart Festival one time.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
That counts.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
But you didn't meet him.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
I didn't meet him, though. I snuck by him and
took a picture, like, by his performance.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
So maybe he met him.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Him and Diddy have been long friends for the same reason.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Yeah, me and Diddy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Because he would claim him and Diddy were friends for
the same reason.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
And you know what's crazy about Diddy?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Well, I do.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
There's a lot, actually.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I do, yes, but what do you have?
Speaker 5 (29:57):
But I met him at the iHeart Festival.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
No buts.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And he was like, love, love, love. This was before
or after the after party?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
The white party.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
No, no, this is what I'm saying. What if he
had been like, dude, we need to invite this guy
to a party? I'd have been like, oh, yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
You'd have been covered in baby oil.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Oh, let's go with Diddy. I'm about to have a talk.
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You'd have been a baby oil boy for sure.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
I mean, that's just crazy that I was that close
to being at one.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Of those parties. Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
You're almost there. All right, good job, everybody. Eddie, that's
really cool.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, thank you, man.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
What about mine?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You saw a story on the internet. But I'm saying
Eddie's was pretty cool because this is like life. Mine
wasn't that cool. Amy's is whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
But the life story that Amy gave us is great.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
No, she didn't want to do the details, but we
literally went through every detail meticulously.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I didn't finish the details.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
We were asking you about it.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
And my 2003 Aggie ring is still missing. We might
as well throw that out there in case anybody finds it.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
And it's not real.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
You should have got a 2008.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
No, because you graduated 2008. You're issued the, you're graduating year.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
And what does your diploma say?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Okay, here, lunchbox. What you're missing is if you're at
A & M and you're there long enough to get
your ring, you get the ring. Plenty of people could
have left and not graduated, but they still have a ring.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
It's another detail, guys. We just got another detail.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
You don't get the ring for graduating?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
No, you get it like the year before and you
get to wear it your senior year. And you dunk it.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
And then you dunk it in beer and you chug the- No,
I know that.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
And if you don't drink, you do it in ice cream.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Too many details. I now have overflowed in details, so
I'm going to wrap this up here. I can't even
do ice cream. I wouldn't do beer and I can't
do ice cream.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Well, you could do- Let's see.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Almond milk ice cream.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Gross.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I'd quit school. Okay, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the
good news. With Bobby. Tell me.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
These two twin brothers at 12 years old made a
promise to each other they were going to make their
community better. So identical twins. They're now both doctors at
this hospital in Richmond, not far from the neighborhood in
which they grew up. And they did not have money.
Growing up, they did not have running water, sometimes not
enough food. They had a bad experience with a doctor.
(32:09):
And so they thought, well, we're just going to be
doctors ourselves to make sure that people that don't have
resources don't get that lack of resources. And so they
graduated from high school, co-valedictorians. Hey, good for the school
for doing that. They're twins. So you know what? We
can do co-valedictorians.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
They went to Stanford, University of Chicago Medical School. And
earlier this year, they became co-directors of the emergency department
at this hospital near their hometown. And so full circle,
they're back in their hometown making sure people get the
care they need.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
That's pretty cool. Trevon and Travis Jasper, big shout out
to you guys. That's from CBS News. That is what
it's all about.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Wow. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for
the good news.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
With Lunchbox.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Back in 1945, Paul Little was a junior in high school,
and he dropped out, went to work in the farming industry,
started making money, and all these years later, he still
hadn't graduated from high school. But he's donated money to scholarships,
helped people graduate high school, and so at 98 years old,
his former high school surprised him with his high school diploma.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Dang.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
In the nursing home.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Oh, dang.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
That'd be cool for the wall.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Yeah, for sure. Here's my thing.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Why you got to have a thing?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
He didn't ever do the work.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Honorary diploma.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah, he did a lot of other work.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Honorary means.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
No, no, they didn't say honorary. They said they gave
him his high school diploma.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
You know what? I don't give a crap. He's 98
years old. Who cares? Give him a doctorate.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Yeah, you don't need a thing on that one.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Maybe this will happen for Lunchbox when he's in a
nursing home.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
But he's got to do something.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I know, but UTSA might be like, okay, let's give
him his college diploma.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
He's three hours short of his degree.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Let's go to the nursing home and give him a degree.
And then somebody should stop and be like, hold on
a second. He didn't do the work. Here's my question.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
There's a problem. I should never be in a nursing home.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Well, you might. How are you going to control that?
Speaker 5 (34:06):
I got three kids, and if they put me in there,
they'll be.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Never know.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
All right, there you go. Good job from that school.
I like that. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
That was Tell Me Something Good.
I took a nap yesterday for the first time since
baby Billy was born like a real nap I finished
here 1230 or so or one and I didn't have
anything to do until four we were doing a bobby
cast a little later it was Luke Brian coming over
(00:21):
to the house and so I went home and wrote
a little bit thought I think I can just fall
asleep and I fell asleep for an hour wasn't woken
up by alarm man That's where it's at. I'd be
a much happier person if I had time to take
a nap every day. And Caitlin didn't wake me up.
I think she avoided waking me up, which was very
nice of her. So first nap I had in seven months.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Where do they do the siesta? Is that Spain? Spain.
it's a lot of latin latin countries because that sounds
great built-in siesta.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah i don't like that because then your work day
goes till 7 or 8 p.m yeah you still have
to do your work yeah you have to go back
and finish and dinner is not till 10 p.m it's
a good point so give take on that uh-huh so
that was nice feel pretty good even in the evening
i was kind of refreshed this is pretty amazing then
i had a little trouble sleeping so again give take
it's one of those my sleep score wasn't that good
(01:15):
last night but got a good nap i think that's
my my whole day yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You So my daughter's computer is sort of breaking down,
which is one of my old laptops that I gave her.
And I was like, oh, and she's got schoolwork. So
I'm like, OK, got to figure this out. So in
the meantime, I found an old iPad that we have
and I couldn't get into it. And I was trying
(01:41):
to figure out, OK, what's the code? You know, and
it kept disabling me because I would type in some
of my go to pins.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Which are what?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I almost just said.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Run those by us.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I've had some for years. So it's like, golly. Well,
I was like, oh, I was married during the time
that this iPad was active. So then reached out to
my ex-husband, figured some stuff out. We're in business. And
so now we've got a running iPad that can, I guess,
till we figure out what's going on with the computer,
which I'm nervous that it's going to just be kaput.
(02:16):
And we're going to maybe have to get... a new one,
but I'm just glad we've got access into the iPad now.
And I'm thankful for Ben remembering what it was. And
I just had it like stored in a closet.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That makes me nervous when I miss like three in
a row, like it's going to explode.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Oh, yes.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Like Inspector Gadget.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Wait, when you, oh, when you miss the code.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Or it's going to lock up for like five hours.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, like sometimes if I miss my password logging into
my bank, it'll go one more time and you're done.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Well, I used to go to the ATM way more frequently.
It just don't go as much anymore. So now I struggle.
Like I have to keep it written somewhere and I
look it up.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Your pen?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, I can't. Right now, I couldn't tell you. If
I was in front of an ATM, I'd be like.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I don't know mine right now. But when I get there,
I know it every time based on just muscle memory.
So I don't know it. Yeah, I don't know it
from my brain.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, I mean, there's a few right now I would
have to like play around with. But so it started
to stress me out anytime I go to the ATM.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So I.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Emailed it to myself.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
You know, what's gotten me so bad is like, not
like you miss, you don't know a password, right? And
then it's, you finally get the password and then it's like, great.
Your code has been, your authenticity, what is it? Whatever
authentication code has been sent to this phone. I'm like,
that's not my phone anymore. Oh, I don't even know
how to get that number.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
There's a lot of steps.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You have to call your bank.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I do.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I've messed up so many times. It's locked me out
and I've tried to law. I look at my bank
accounts like three times a day. And I change my
passwords a lot. And so it'll go one more time
and we're going to lock you out. And he goes,
your page has been locked. So I have to call
the bank. Tail between my legs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Hey, it's me.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I promise.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
When you go and look, like what are you looking for?
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Make sure I haven't been scammed. Make sure there's, I
have like two accounts that are connected to the ability
to be scammed.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And then a credit card account, which I don't worry
about that as much getting scammed because if it does,
I can always just get that back. You just file
a complaint and they give your money back. but I
have two debit-y type accounts that I worry about where
the money's coming.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Out of that.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And then also I have investment accounts. I just want
to see what it's done in the market that day
because they go up and down.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Well, yeah, those change by the hour. I get like
checking that sort of stuff, but I didn't know your
other accounts. I'm like, is this what we're.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Doing wrong, guys?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Should we be checking our accounts?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I don't think that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I'm just scam-proofing.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And not multiple times a day.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh, I'm three times a day.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I'm scam-proofing, and then I'm just watching to see where
the markets have taken some of my investment accounts.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I keep it on my phone too, certain parts of it,
just to see the baseline from that month. Also, I
used to weigh myself three times a day. Anything I'm
caring about, I do over and over again just to
see progress. I did weigh myself yesterday for the first time,
probably four months, just because there was a scale there.
I have no need to weigh myself right now because
I feel good and I'm not doing anything full body
(05:08):
on camera, so don't care. As long as my clothes
fit and I feel healthy, I'm good. But I did
weigh myself. I was 165 yesterday, which is about where
I need to be That's good. Yeah. So I was like, man,
nice job, dude.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Dude, I'm really heavy right now.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Either the five scales that I've tried are broken.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
They definitely could be.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
You have five?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You know the rule.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Do six.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Where have you encountered five scales?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So the first one was the doctor's office. And I
was like, that's high. That can't be right. And then
the other one's the gym. And then I have one
at home. And I'm like, they're all saying 190. And
I'm like, I've never been 190 in my life. Ever.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Are your clothes fitting tighter?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But I mean, not overly tight. Just a little tighter
than normal.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
What are you going to do about it?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I mean, I'm working on it. Change his life.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But you're not working on it. You say that to everything.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Last night I ate chicken breast and sweet potatoes.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But do you understand you say you're working on everything
we possibly say and you go, I'm working on it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But sometimes I don't tell you guys the result. I
worked on stuff and then sometimes I have a result,
but I don't share that with you guys.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But why wouldn't you whenever you say you work on
so many things and we question you? Why would you
not come in and give us the answers? That way
we'd stop busting your balls so much.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
So maybe I come in in like a month and
be like, guys, I'm at 160.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Well, no, not just your weight. I'm just saying in general.
You've got the reputation as someone who doesn't really follow through.
But if you are secretly following through, let us know
so you don't have that reputation anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Yeah, what about those squats? How are they coming? Good.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I did squats yesterday. Yesterday was leg day. Yes, I
did squats, lunges, all that.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And how many times have you done that in the
past month? A month?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
A month. Five or six. Well, that's a lot. Yeah,
five or six times.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
If you're doing legs one time a week, I would
subtract half of that.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I agree.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
No, no, no, no. You have to believe me.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
No, no, no. So twice?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He's probably done it two times.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
When you did your testosterone test, you said, oh, I'm
going to change my life. I'm going to eat different.
I'm going to work out. I'm going to do this.
And you're your heaviest ever.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And then two weeks ago, you were saying you haven't
even been working out.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Well, that's not true because I think some of it
could be muscle.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Muscle weight?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
From what?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Working out, bro.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You just said two weeks ago you weren't working out,
and all of a sudden you've been working out all
this time. You did say that.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Yeah. I don't know. I don't feel fat. You know
what I mean? I don't feel soft, really. I feel
like I just couldn't believe the numbers when they came in.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
190?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's heavy.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Okay, for you, maybe.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I've never been one. I think the heaviest I've ever
been was like 180.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm not shaming you on the number.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
It's because he's yoked.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I'm not saying that. Just some muscle does weigh more
than fat. What if I'm getting muscle down there, guys?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Down where?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Down the abs, the legs. The squats, Amy.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Down there.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
What did you think I was talking about?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Well, it went a little weird.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I've never heard anybody.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Say down there.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
We were talking about my legs, the squats.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
But you said two weeks ago you weren't working out.
Not as much, but I have.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
So you think that the muscle has developed in two weeks?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Possibly. I don't know, guys.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I don't know. Just feel healthy. It's all that matters.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I have my appointment coming up in two weeks.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
You better really start working out.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's kind of why I'm buckling down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
So for like the blood work, I guess?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, the blood work. Two weeks, the lab. I'm nervous.
Because if it comes back where the testosterone is still low.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It's going to be. You haven't done enough to change it.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I'm going to have to do yams or whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
A yam pellet.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
But good.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
You had yams for dinner last night, so that's good.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, sweet potatoes.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Why not just do like TRT?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
What's that?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You're not going to have any more kids.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Testosterone replacement therapy.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That scares me, man. That chemical testosterone stuff scares me.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
You probably put so many chemicals in your body that
are working negatively against you.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
The beer, the wine.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're just choosing.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Like an injection? That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
Like into your leg or what?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I don't know. I've never taken it.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Down there?
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I have a lot of friends that.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Have taken it. Or I have a few friends that
have taken it. I never have because... Once you do that,
you can't have kids. And this is pre-Billy. I even
looked it up. And I was like, oh, I can't
because if I do that, then I can't have a kid.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That can be a good selling point for me then.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Well, I just secretly do it. A prescription medical treatment
that delivers synthetic testosterone directly into the body to restore
hormone levels in men with clinically low testosterone. It is
injected into a muscle or under the skin. It's given
anywhere from once a week to once every few weeks
or months, depending on the specific type of testosterone you want.
And mostly it's just to get it back normal.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And then once it's normal, I mean, you still have
to keep doing it, right?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Yeah, because it's fake.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Synthetic. That's the key word I heard you say.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
You have to keep doing allergy medicine too.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I'm not, I don't do, oh, I do Zyrtec, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
So when you think, well, I don't know if I
can do something regularly to make myself healthier, you do
that already.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
And once a month isn't crazy. Once a week isn't
even that hard.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Then we got to look at price. How expensive is that?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
That's absolutely a factor.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
We're cheering for you, man.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Thank you. dude.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Absolutely a factor. What were we talking about?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I got into my iPad.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
That's where I'm starting. It's $ 20 a month, up to,
at the most, $ 100 a month.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Oh, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
$ 20 is good. I like $ 20. $ 20 a month, that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You can do that. That's the kind you get from
Waffle House. Oh, no.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
No, I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You can also get a yam pellet every four months.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
How much is that?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That also feels a little too organic for me.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
The plant-based testosterone?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's what I love. The organic.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I would want it to work hard and fast. Get
me to the place.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
My blood work shows that my testosterone's up.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I hear you. And for you, that's great.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I would just go, okay, if I'm going to do this,
redline me.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And Eddie, I guess I don't know because I go
to my OB.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh, and it's covered in that?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
And then... Yeah, I don't know how much my, I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Or maybe she just sends me a bill and then
I pay it. But I'm also getting other things done.
So I don't, I can ask though.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
My dog had that thing on its ear. And so Dr.
Jesse came and like let all the blood of it out.
The hematobin, I believe is what it's called. And so
it's developed again. Sometimes it just fills back up with blood.
And so she's coming back today at 1230 to again,
remove the blood from it. But now she has to
put basically a pump In his ear and then wrap
(11:18):
his head.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh, man.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I can't do surgery with him right now. He's had
over 10 surgeries. He's also over 8 years old, and
bulldogs are really old at 8 years old. And so
I don't want to put him under because that's a
real risk with anything old. So no anesthesia, but she's like, hey,
it's going to be draining for 3 or 4 days.
There could be, like, liquid everywhere. So now we've got
to keep him in his room.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Liquid as in blood.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Blood and pus.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
He's got to wear a. A drain on his head.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Damn, poor guy.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Dude, it's constant with him. It has been constant his
whole life.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Good job on that iPad, though.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Congrats.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Rin. Eddie. My son, my oldest, has successfully applied for
his first college application. Sent it off yesterday. Like, it's
pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Did you do it with him?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
His mom did it with him.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
What did it consist of? What is a college application
like these days?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So you have all these things you fill out, all
your personal information... Do you know?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I felt the same way, Amy. When he started talking
about it, I felt the same way you did.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Because you said, did you do it?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
He goes, oh, his mom did it. And then you
ask him what it consists of, and he's like, well,
there's questions.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Well, I thought maybe he looked at it.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You said your name.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Your address. Then Amy and I both went, he has
no idea.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Which is fine.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Did you look at it, yes or no?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yes, I looked at it. Personal information. And then he
had to fill out reasons why he wants to go there,
of course.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Like an essay?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Kind of, but it was only like, you know, a
few sentences. And then optional, he could shoot a video.
explaining why he took the option. He did do that. Great.
And I got him the clothes. I'm like, wear this,
do your hair like that. Mention these things.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It just sounded like you didn't know what you're talking
about when you started. And that's on us for laughing. Hey,
hand out. I messed up. I should have done that.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I apologize.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I'll be honest too. I don't know about the personal information.
I just figured.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
We're all coming clean now.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But yes, all the essays, the question stuff, the video,
all that was part of it. Um, transcripts, stuff like that.
So yeah, man, it's pretty crazy that he's actually looking
at colleges because he was the one that was like, dude,
you've got to get your grades right or else you're
never going to go to college. And his grades have
been really good for the last couple of years. And
he has options. Uh, no, I think his problem was
(13:31):
there was too much going on in school, like social
life where he was just like, I'm, I love the
social life more than I like school. And so he's homeschooled.
He's been homeschooled for the last couple of years. And
so he has no distractions. He works all the way
to like one o'clock solid, just him. He's got his own, um,
what do you call that? Um, curriculum and he follows it.
(13:54):
Sometimes he gets ahead, takes Fridays off. He loves it.
Like he loves working at his own pace, which I
never just realized how good that would be for someone
like him.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
How does he feel though, about going back to a
traditional classroom setting?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
He's a little nervous.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Because you want to talk about social life, college is
where it really explodes.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Where you have like full autonomy.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I know. I mean, luckily he kind of knows what
he wants to do. And his passion really is like movies.
Like he really wants to be a filmmaker. And so
anything that kind of gets him towards anything that can
get him closer to being a filmmaker, he's excited about.
And like, I think that with that in mind, he
won't be so sidetracked by social stuff because he loves
(14:34):
that so much.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Do you want him to go close or far?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Man, I'm kind of 50-50 on that. You can see
the benefits of both? Because I want him to go
far to experience that. I don't want him in town
where he can just come home for dinner every day
because he would. He's such a homebody that he would
be here every weekend. And I want him to go
away and go experience that and have a weekend to himself.
You decide what to do this weekend. Don't put it
on us. And so I'm like half and half because
(15:01):
I'm definitely going to miss him if he does go
out of town.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Also, if it's in town, he may come home during
the week and do laundry at home. But then also,
he's not far away, and that's good.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I've talked to some other dads that deal with that,
where their kid goes to college here, and they're like, oh,
we have a rule, man. You can't come home during
the week at all. You're not allowed. Sometimes they do,
but they kind of make it where like, dude, do
your college life. You want to come on the weekends?
You can.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
How far was your college from your house?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Growing up?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, well, when you first moved off.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Two hours, door to door.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
That's good. That's just long enough.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I liked that it was far enough away to where
I was away, but close enough to where if I
wanted to come home on the weekend, it was no problem. Yeah.
And I would.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
You would?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, there were times where I was like, oh, you
know what? I'm going to go home this weekend.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That's about an hour and a half. I never went home.
I didn't have anywhere to stay. I slept on the couch.
I didn't have a bedroom. I had a bedroom. I
had a dorm, and that was really amazing. I got
out of bed. So I guess if I ever went home,
it was just like a brief swing by or something
because it wasn't like I was going to do laundry
or eat food or I didn't have anywhere to stay
at home. It had been cool to go farther, but
(16:12):
I couldn't. I was working. Like I was already in
my career then, so I had to stay pretty close. But, yeah,
I told Billy, like, when she goes to the University
of Arkansas.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
When she does.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, that's, you know, nine hours. That's just long enough.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
That was me, eight, nine hours.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It was that far away it was that far away
it was north of Texas yeah dude from all the
way down to Sam Houston State yes I always thought
it was kind of close so like from McAllen to
Houston was about seven hour drive.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It's that far yeah man I didn't realize that wow.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
And so yeah so one hour north of Houston but
I wanted that like dude I wanted to get out
of my house so bad like that was a goal
for me like I want to just go and experience
stuff all by myself make my own decisions so like
I picked somewhere far In the state.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Did you almost go near your house?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I did for the first year and a half after
I graduated. I lived at home and took classes at
the school down there.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
From McAllen to Sam Houston State University right now, seven hours.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
They probably built tolls and stuff since your days. Highways. Yeah, yeah.
I'm shocked it was that far.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I know.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Sometimes I'm shocked at how big Texas or how tall
California is on average. Because a friend was, they live
in San Francisco and they were down in Los Angeles.
I was like, do you guys just drive or fly?
And they're like, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
That's so far.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I was like, well, you just didn't drive, hop down
the street? Yeah. You're in the same state. We can
get over to Memphis in 245 or so from here.
No problem. Oh, that's exciting. Well, I know you, thanks
for being honest about it, but it's exciting now that
the next chapter of his life is happening.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I know. And he did take his ACT for the
second time. We're waiting on those results. He felt way
better on the second time for sure.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Does he need a certain score?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah. For the schools that he's looking at? Yes.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
How far is it from the score that he has?
Because that first score is never going to be great.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
He's not far. He's not far from the score that
he needs, but he said he tried his hardest the
first time, and that's kind of what worried him. I
don't know if I can do better than that. But
when he came back from the second test, he was like, oh, yeah,
I feel way better about this one.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Just taking it. And having the understanding of what's going
to happen helps so much. That's why I tell my niece,
you need to take this thing five times. To where
you're walking in the fifth time, you're like, oh, I've
done this. I'm bored with even getting here. I know
what to do. Give me the pencil. Let's get started.
I've also been taught recently that now they take from
all of your tests, because there are different areas, right?
There's math. There's English. There's whatever. You can take your
(18:51):
highest from all of them, and it goes into one.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Oh, that's cool. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, so if you score a 24... Overall, but you
have a 21 in English. Well, your next time you
take it, let's say you only score higher in your English.
You can use that English score now on your overall.
I may not be explaining that properly, but did that
make sense at all?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That didn't happen. Also, it's been 100 years since I've
taken mine. But you got it in a big, tall envelope.
But I took mine the first time in seventh grade,
and I was so nervous in seventh grade to open it.
But you got the big envelope, and you're like, oh,
my God, I want to look in here. And you
pull it up. Now it's probably online. You can probably
log on and see it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Man, who was guiding you through this process? Because like. Nobody.
But how did you even have the idea of like, oh,
I've got to take the SAT or I take the ACT?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I never took the SAT.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
But like school, like did they say like, hey, because like,
how would you go take it in seventh grade?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I was in gifted and talented all the way through
school and I was. on the quiz bowl team and
I was like in seventh grade, I was a captain
of the 12th grade team. So I just had people
that I knew that were taking it in like ninth
and 10th grade. And I would see them taking it early.
And I remember asking, can I take it in the
seventh grade? I said, you can take it whenever you want.
Cause you got to pay for it. Yeah. And so
I took it and yeah, took it in seventh grade.
(20:09):
Got a 23 in seventh grade.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
You took it once?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
No, I took it many times later. I took it
again in ninth grade, once in 10th. I started taking
the ACT prep classes as well in 11th. Crushed it
my 11th and 12th grade years. Oh, it crushed it
for me. I kind of hit my peak. What do
you see there, Mike? The ACT super score combines your
highest section scores through the multiple test dates to create
(20:34):
a single higher composite score. That's nice.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
That's legit. And that's everywhere? Mike?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
It just says the ACT general.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
All right, good luck to him.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, we're excited. And I mean, dude, I think about me,
like no one, my parents didn't go to college, so
like no one in my family said, hey, you're a
junior now, you should probably be looking at colleges. So
when I became a senior and I remember all my
friends being like, I just got accepted to Texas, I'm like,
how did you do that? Like, how'd you get accepted?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Did you guys have a counselor that was telling you stuff?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah, barely. But you had to like, Chase that.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
You did?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah. Like, I remember them talking about a counselor. If
you have any interest, talk to this counselor. But, like,
no one ever did that. No one went.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I'm trying to think. I can't remember. I wish I
would have had somebody guide me to be like, yeah,
you should apply to multiple universities, not just one.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Is that what you did?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
One?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah, just one. Because I was like, well, that's where
my sister went, so that's where I'm going to go.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
But you got in.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I didn't get in. Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Not a first.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Not my first year.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
She went out near a college.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
So then I went to Blinn.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Do you know a lot of people do that here
at Tennessee? If they want to go to Tennessee and
they can't get in, they go to the the junior
college right next to it that's in Knoxville. And then
if you finish a certain amount of credits there, you
automatically can get into Tennessee. So they go live there
in the city, go there, and then automatically get the
bump in.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Mine wasn't automatic, but my motivation was, I was so,
my ego, I think everything in me was so like, oh,
this can't happen. I can't believe I didn't get in.
So I was so driven and I locked in.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Misprint? You think it was a misprint when you got
the letter? Did you get a letter?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You don't remember opening it and being crushed?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Honestly, I don't think I was that surprised. But I
just thought, well, dang. And then I had other friends
going to Blinn, too. So it worked out. And we
all lived together. And then I had friends at A & M.
So it felt like we still went there.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Did you feel.
Like you were minimized whenever you would talk to people
from A & M, but you were in the same
town going to blend. And they'd be like, you're.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Not really going. No, if I ever felt that, I
think it was internal. I think I was projecting that
upon myself. Like if I picked up on that, I thought,
I don't think they're actually really judging me. I think
I'm judging me. Because certainly my friends that I hung
out with, They didn't. They got it. And then all
my roommates, we were in the, I lived with, there's
four of us girls and we all had an apartment
(23:01):
and all four of us were at blend trying to
get into A & M. So that helped feel very normal.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So it's very common that people did that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Thankfully I was able to meet these other girls. And
then one of them though, one of them, she would
lie and say she went to A & M.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
That's insecurity.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I mean, I get it, but it, it caught, like,
we didn't know she, I mean, to like her family.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Oh, oh, that's her, she probably lied to her parents.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I mean, it was a whole thing, like, to where
I was like, well, I hope when they come busy,
you don't expect, you don't expect us to be like,
gotta go to campus.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
The big one.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
So that was a little weird.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
It's like Ray, whenever Ray's parents would come and he
would get his buddy's house. Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
He'd put his diploma on the wall.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
He didn't want them to see he was living with
a lunchbox and squalor. I don't think that's as serious
as the college lying. What'd you say? I don't think
that's as serious as the college lying, but sure.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah, like I was like, how many people think you
go to A & M?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Hold on, but Ray, like, dude, you walked your parents
to that room that wasn't yours, right? I'm like, is
this my room? It was just more.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
to create the image that I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
That's a lie. Well, you said it's create the image.
That means a lie. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
But I wasn't like, Hey, I'm going to an entirely
different school for four years. This was, uh, I live
in a whole different house. Not that I, I mean,
I could have just been there for a week or two.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
And he staged it with like hats on the dresser. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Pictures. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
But I will say, yeah, when your ego is a
little damaged and you're, you're motivated, I left blend with a, um,
3.9 and got in straight away. So then my sophomore year,
and then I went through rush. So I didn't, that's
when I rushed a sorority.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
So you only went one year to blend?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
My freshman year. And then by sophomore year, I was
at A & M and I became a Kappa. And
then I was just a year. And it helped too,
because when I was going through rush, like some of
my girlfriends from high school that rushed freshman year, then
they were sophomores in that sorority. And they were like,
oh yeah, we went to high school with Amy. Because
rushing as a sophomore can feel a little weird too,
because most people are doing it as a freshman, but
(25:09):
I felt like I, then I had people already in,
so they were able to help get me in.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Is it an automatic in, if you have a certain
grade point at the junior college in the town?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't, I don't know. I don't remember. I just
know that I said, what, what do I need to
do exactly to get in? And the counselors at Blinn
are obviously used to working with everybody. That's everybody's goal
is to try to go to A & M or
everybody that I knew there. So I just did everything
the counselor told me. Like whatever I needed to take,
(25:39):
whatever my grades needed to be. And 3.9, that's the
highest GPA I've ever had. Because once I got an
A & M, the lock-in sort of stopped.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Being locked in.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Being locked in, yeah. I thought you meant like a
church lock-in.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, lock-in.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Are you on lock-ins at one?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
No, but I'm like, dang, I wish that whatever, however
my brain works, you know, I wish it was motivated
like that all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But it was out of shame. Yeah, it was motivated
out of... If you don't, you fail.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
You need that fire.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I didn't like how it felt not getting in, and
I had to prove it to myself and other people.
And then I got in, and I was like, okay.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
And then she didn't graduate.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Oh, so bad.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Well, I did.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Eventually, yeah, from tech to tech.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
No, my diploma is from Texas A & M.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, but did you graduate from there?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
But where did you finish?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
No, I took three hours.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Where did you finish, though?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Bobby, you're acting as if plenty of people take three
hours elsewhere, and it still applies towards their diploma.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Where was those three hours? Texas Tech. Oh, so you're
a red raider.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
She's a red raider.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
She's a dyed and true red raider. Hey, guns up, Amy.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Woo!
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I'm in North Carolina something because that's where I took
my last three hours.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Tar Heel?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
You were at Tar Heel too?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Wait. No, remember?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Carolina Blue.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Wait.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
I was taking a three-hour correspondence. I was at A &
M my senior year, taking a three-hour correspondence class at
Texas Tech in addition to however many hours I had
at A & M, but it was correspondence.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You're an A & M person. I'm just giving you
a hard time.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah, like what?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
You can claim like 10 schools at this point.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Alabama.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Would your parents be in Alabama and Auburn and- Texas
A & M and you finish at Texas Tech and Carolina.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
My half sister went to Tech.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah. There you go.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
There's just a little bit. You got a national championship
always somewhere. Then your boyfriend for a while was Tennessee.
So you were involved in Auburn. Vanderbilt, Auburn, and UVA. Oh, Virginia.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Virginia.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
But we went to a Tennessee game once.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
You went to a Virginia game too.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
I did go to a Virginia game because that's his school.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You're in with all those schools.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Auburn was just what he was raised. UVA is where
he went.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah. There you go.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I really liked UVA.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Code of many colors.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Take it, Amy.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Take what? You're good.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
That's just your story.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yeah, there's lots of... But my diploma says A & M.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I know. I was just giving you a hard time.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
We don't need to get into all the details, but.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
What do you mean? We just did.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Does your diploma hang on your wall? We got into every.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Detail right there.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Okay, but not all of it.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
There's more?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yes, we got into all the details.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I didn't say how I didn't finish at Texas Tech.
And then in 2008, I had to confess to y'all
on air.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, she told us on the show that she never finished.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Yeah, I'm like, hey guys, I didn't finish, but I'm
enrolled in a class... at some school in North Carolina
and I'm finishing my three hours and my advisor at
A & M says it will count. And then they
mailed me my diploma and my diploma says 2008.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
But you did walk?
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Oh yeah, I walked.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
They handed me an empty tube.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I didn't realize that Texas Tech was where you didn't
finish the correspondence. I thought that's where you took the
correspondence that got you the degree.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
No, I was an unconventional student and I went in
as an adult, adult, adult to college classes.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Three adult?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
They labeled you three adult? No, but wow. Okay. Lunchbox yours?
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yeah, I was just popping around on the internet last
night and I went to people.com and there's a story
that DJ Pauly D was performing in Vegas. And he
stopped his set, brought his girlfriend up on stage, and
he proposed. After six years of dating, he met her
on his dating show, Second Shot at Love on MTV.
They've been dating six years, and they're getting hitched. And
(29:14):
I was like, man, that's so cool. DJ Pauly D.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Has he not been married? No, never been married. And
that moved you so much that your personal tell me something?
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Yeah, I was excited for Pauly D.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Have you ever met him?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You would know if you had.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
No. Okay.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
No.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Have you ever met him?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
DJ Pauly D?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I mean, he had to think about it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I don't even know who that is.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
I mean, he did perform at our iHeart Festival one time.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
That counts.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
But you didn't meet him.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
I didn't meet him, though. I snuck by him and
took a picture, like, by his performance.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
So maybe he met him.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Him and Diddy have been long friends for the same reason.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Yeah, me and Diddy.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Because he would claim him and Diddy were friends for
the same reason.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
And you know what's crazy about Diddy?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Well, I do.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
There's a lot, actually.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I do, yes, but what do you have?
Speaker 5 (29:57):
But I met him at the iHeart Festival.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
No buts.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And he was like, love, love, love. This was before
or after the after party?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
The white party.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
No, no, this is what I'm saying. What if he
had been like, dude, we need to invite this guy
to a party? I'd have been like, oh, yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
You'd have been covered in baby oil.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Oh, let's go with Diddy. I'm about to have a talk.
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You'd have been a baby oil boy for sure.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
I mean, that's just crazy that I was that close
to being at one.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Of those parties. Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
You're almost there. All right, good job, everybody. Eddie, that's
really cool.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, thank you, man.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
What about mine?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You saw a story on the internet. But I'm saying
Eddie's was pretty cool because this is like life. Mine
wasn't that cool. Amy's is whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
But the life story that Amy gave us is great.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
No, she didn't want to do the details, but we
literally went through every detail meticulously.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I didn't finish the details.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
We were asking you about it.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
And my 2003 Aggie ring is still missing. We might
as well throw that out there in case anybody finds it.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
And it's not real.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
You should have got a 2008.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
No, because you graduated 2008. You're issued the, you're graduating year.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
And what does your diploma say?
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Okay, here, lunchbox. What you're missing is if you're at
A & M and you're there long enough to get
your ring, you get the ring. Plenty of people could
have left and not graduated, but they still have a ring.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
It's another detail, guys. We just got another detail.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
You don't get the ring for graduating?
Speaker 3 (31:17):
No, you get it like the year before and you
get to wear it your senior year. And you dunk it.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
And then you dunk it in beer and you chug the- No,
I know that.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
And if you don't drink, you do it in ice cream.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Too many details. I now have overflowed in details, so
I'm going to wrap this up here. I can't even
do ice cream. I wouldn't do beer and I can't
do ice cream.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Well, you could do- Let's see.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Almond milk ice cream.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Gross.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I'd quit school. Okay, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the
good news. With Bobby. Tell me.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
These two twin brothers at 12 years old made a
promise to each other they were going to make their
community better. So identical twins. They're now both doctors at
this hospital in Richmond, not far from the neighborhood in
which they grew up. And they did not have money.
Growing up, they did not have running water, sometimes not
enough food. They had a bad experience with a doctor.
(32:09):
And so they thought, well, we're just going to be
doctors ourselves to make sure that people that don't have
resources don't get that lack of resources. And so they
graduated from high school, co-valedictorians. Hey, good for the school
for doing that. They're twins. So you know what? We
can do co-valedictorians.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
They went to Stanford, University of Chicago Medical School. And
earlier this year, they became co-directors of the emergency department
at this hospital near their hometown. And so full circle,
they're back in their hometown making sure people get the
care they need.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
That's pretty cool. Trevon and Travis Jasper, big shout out
to you guys. That's from CBS News. That is what
it's all about.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Wow. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for
the good news.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
With Lunchbox.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Back in 1945, Paul Little was a junior in high school,
and he dropped out, went to work in the farming industry,
started making money, and all these years later, he still
hadn't graduated from high school. But he's donated money to scholarships,
helped people graduate high school, and so at 98 years old,
his former high school surprised him with his high school diploma.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Dang.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
In the nursing home.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Oh, dang.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
That'd be cool for the wall.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Yeah, for sure. Here's my thing.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Why you got to have a thing?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
He didn't ever do the work.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Honorary diploma.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah, he did a lot of other work.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Honorary means.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
No, no, they didn't say honorary. They said they gave
him his high school diploma.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
You know what? I don't give a crap. He's 98
years old. Who cares? Give him a doctorate.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Yeah, you don't need a thing on that one.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Maybe this will happen for Lunchbox when he's in a
nursing home.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
But he's got to do something.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I know, but UTSA might be like, okay, let's give
him his college diploma.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
He's three hours short of his degree.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Let's go to the nursing home and give him a degree.
And then somebody should stop and be like, hold on
a second. He didn't do the work. Here's my question.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
There's a problem. I should never be in a nursing home.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Well, you might. How are you going to control that?
Speaker 5 (34:06):
I got three kids, and if they put me in there,
they'll be.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Never know.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
All right, there you go. Good job from that school.
I like that. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
That was Tell Me Something Good.
