Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time for the good news. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna
challenge all of you right now. We didn't talk about
this beforehand. Give me something good that happened in the
last day exactly, and we just dropped her chin. I'll
go first. Okay, I mentioned it already. Arkansas won last
night basketball.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
I didn't like the game was eight o'clock. It's way
too late, but Arkansas had a nice victory. Watched the game.
I didn't watch it in the bedroom. I watched it
in the guest room because we have that slanted mattress,
so I just hanging out there and the TV's to
the side, which sucks. When we designed that room, what
were we thinking, Meaning the bed lays in the window

(00:43):
is in front, so you can't put a TV there,
so it's on the right side.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
I think you're thinking, how pretty to wake up and
look outside.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's terrible to have glasses and have to lay down.
You guys don't even know. I think that's what it is.
Because I can't lay on my side because I wore glasses,
and I take my glasses off, I can't see what's
on the television as far as numbers or who it
is numbers on jerseys.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, so it sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
And I sent a video to my wife lost and
I said, look, the sucks because she was like. I
was like, don't watch the game. She's like, no, it's
eight o'clock. I'm going to bed. So I went up.
We did win. I didn't sound like, tell me something good,
but it's good to you, man, I didn't. I haven't
slept well for three nights. Like I looked at my
sleep score and I looked at the tracking. There's like

(01:29):
a two hour gap all three nights. Sometimes I don't
sleep well, but it's little wake ups. I was up
for two hours last night, two hours a night before
and two hours a night before.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's supposed to be telling me something good.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
It is, but I'm here, Okay, that's good and I'm healthy.
My thing is that Arkansas won the basketball game last night,
and we had a bad, bad game against Auburn recently.
So all good I did witch. I watch Kentucky freaking
luck out and win that game. There was one point
six seconds left on the clock. Full court pass Christian
Laightner style over the guy at LSU, turns around, hits
it with one point six seconds left. Won the game.
It is wild, but.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
That's not good.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I don't care. Okay, good for Kentucky fans, they're they're
struggling though, all right, Amy.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Okay, So I had a work thing that we were
going to and there was a wreck on the highway
and I thought I was going to be late, and
so I guess the good thing is I wasn't late
and I trusted the map because I was having a
freaking good thing.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Is that the bad thing didn't happen, right, Anything's just
good though, that is good.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
I was very worried because I left with plenty of
time and then it just changed on me like crazy,
and so that was a very very stressful situation.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
They had a day yesterday with that Yeah, what do
you mean, well, and you weren't late? Are you talking
about here? Well, yeah, a work thing, this is work.
Amy text me before the show started. She goes, that's
not a work thing, that's literally work. She goes, hey,
I might be later than our call time, and she

(02:56):
sent me a screenshot of traffic and I said, well
that's it. You're not even going to be late according
to that.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Well it's late for me now.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
She had like an event last night to me.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Now early is on time, you know, like early, I
want to be early, and just cutting it close, and
the way that the time kept climbing, I just thought
this could jump again another five seven minutes and then
I'm screwed.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's stressful.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
And had I had already gotten bad news that morning,
I opened an email about something else, and so it
just set me over to where I was like, I'm
gonna cry, But I don't think it was.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I knew something was up because I said, it's not
a big deal if there's.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Because I definitely left, like with plenty of.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Time, literally traffic, an accident, somebody sick, like, oh, that's fine.
And again I guess you could have faked a screenshot,
but she sent a screenshot and said I'm just sitting
with me, and it.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Was red one that she just saves in her phone.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's no, no, no, But I was so nervous to
trust that. It was like exit, get off the highway now,
And it made me so nervous to get off and
go take these back roads. And I did, and sure
enough it saved me a little bit. But no, that
was piled on to like some other stuff that like
I was like I just texted Bobby. I was like,
I'm gonna crys, Like.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Don't worry about it, it's just working. I felt like
it was about more than that. It was the odd
thing about Amy is I saw her once getting out
of a car in a parking garage. You park on
a weird level.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
No, that's a great level.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Everyone parks in weird legs.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
No, that's the first level. You have access to stairs.
That's the first level where you can just so that way,
you're not continuing to loop up in your car. You
just park, go in and you can go up the
stairs way faster than you can drive up.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I like the looping.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I like just walking through the door and being right here.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, oh no, I like to take the stairs. So
what floor do you park on the first level where
you have access to the stairs.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Where are you parking? What exactly what time do you
pull up to.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Be honest, I don't know exactly what floor that is,
but it's just the first Why I just in a.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Case where we need to get your car. Where is it?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
You can get off?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yes, exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
So yeah, that was you find anything good that happened
that was good?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Like when I started. When I got here and I
could relax because I had four minutes to spare, I
was like, feels so much better, felt so much better.
Maybe I'm gonna have I have a call today about
the email that set me off.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
That's today there in the morning. I know.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
But if that call goes well, tell me something good
could go bad though. That's why when you said we
were going to do this segment, my jaw dropped. This
has just been a.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
What about chick flad? You enjoyed that last night?

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Was that good?

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I did a while. It was good.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah I did. And I tried my new technique of
cutting up the nuggets with tell.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Us about this email because I don't remember if you do.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
No, it's personal. Oh okay, but it's not good.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
There's referenced an eleven times personal.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
But what I mean is like, I guess, yeah, I
can't say all of the details, but it's just one
of those, you know, adult things.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
It's like oh, oh porn.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Oh yeah, but it's like you want to It's one
of those moments where you just want to like stop
being an adult.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I wonder why she thought lunchboxes exploding.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Uh, it's just on your mind.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
No, I you know what I mean, responsibilities like being
an adult where you're.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Just like the fact that you thought that about his smoothie.
It's the most so weird.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's like, what, like you'd be the last.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Person you didn't take the joke exactly where I was
going to take it go further. It's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Let her do it. No, I'm not gonna let Okay
tell me something good, Eddie. Last twenty four.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Hours, Last twenty four dude, my kids are surprising me.
They're notorious for having bad grades and like not turning
stuff in, just like stupid things like that. But this
last week and especially yesterday, I checked on all their grades.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
One of them's got all a's and that is unheard
of all a's. The other one I picked up from school.
I said, do you have a homework today? He's like, no,
I did it all in during recess. You did all
your homework in recess. Who are these kids? It's awesome.
And it all started from Sunday. I had a powow
with a family where like we just everything was out
of whack and we had a powow talking about how

(07:16):
everyone needs to respect each other's space. You need to
respect your brothers, respect your mom, respect your dad, and
we need to work hard. We are a hard working family.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
It's this week has been awesome, so I'm happy about
that solid lunchbox.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Last night, I laid down to go to sleep. I
closed my eyes. I fell asleep within you know, thirty seconds,
and I didn't get up one time to pee, not
one time in the middle of night. I get up
to pee, and that is awesome.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Did your back hurt while you're sleeping?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
I was asleep, but it didn't bother you while you
were sleeping, so I didn't wake you up at all. No,
I didn't wake me up.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Like the pain wasn't so.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Bad where I woke up, but when he woke up,
I woke up it hurt.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Screwiating in the night.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Come on, man, you know how awesome it is not
to pee in the middle.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Of the night.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Do you guys, All you guys pee in the middle
of the night.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yes, I'm awake so much in the middle of the night.
Sometimes I pee because I'm awake. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Well, what time do you cut off waterlock.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Seven o'clock.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Ninety or ten? Every night? Pretty much. Is it because
you take a nap every day? Yep?

Speaker 4 (08:24):
And it's because you put the kids asleep and then
you finally have some quiet time.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's like adult time like this time.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
I mean my wife goes to bed at like nine.
But I'm just like, okay, I can watch you know,
Stewarts or something and just be by myself.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
If you were making five million dollars a year, would
you do underwear only fans?

Speaker 3 (08:47):
So like for me, brawl too, Well, that's underwear Okay, Well,
I don't know. I was just clarifying a five millionaire.
I mean, yes, I don't think so what that's just
I think there's a lot of money obviously.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
For five million a year. I guess it's not full
naked but underwear of only.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I guess. But the thing is like it if if
I wanted to go to only fans and make money
that way, I guess it wouldn't be that much, I
don't think. But girls are making a killing over there.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
It only have very few. It's it's like professional athletes.
You hear about the big ones and that dominates the news,
and so everybody thinks everybody's making it. There are women
that make a ton, but most don't. I read a
story that the average person only fan makes like eighteen
hundred bucks a year.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, it just doesn't feel good to me. It's not
in alignment with me. It's not how I want to.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Hear five million dollars a year feels good, it feels great. Yes,
I wonder, because I'm not saying, and.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Then do I want? Is that how I do want
my daughter to make money that way?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
What if? What if it never got out? What if
you did it in a wrestling mask so people didn't
know it was your face?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
But then I still didn't feel good asking, Yes, it's
not in an alignment. No, I get that, yeah, because
some of it is like a public perception. But then
I guess it's just if I were to do an
internal examination on how it made me feel, I don't
think I would. That's how I want to do it.
But if I was totally desperate, I don't know, you know,
like I'm saying, cut out the five million, but I

(10:16):
needed to make money to put food on the table,
I don't know what I would do. I'm just being
That's where thankfully I'm not in that situation.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
It's weird to Eddie goes, I wish I were a girl.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
No, I didn't say that.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
That's a that's a bizarre thing to say.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
If you asked me five million dollars to do underwear
on OnlyFans, yes, dude, but now he wants to see me.
So I'm like, if I was a girl like Amy,
I would do it one thousand.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
So what if it was your how your wife made.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Money, I'd have to I would do when I was single.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
No, no, no, what if you're you're a man. Now
we're not pretending you're a girl. What if that's how
your wife made money.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
She can't do that?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Or your daughter right now? Five million dollars a year?
If your wife was making five million dollars a year
doing underwear only fans, would you wanted to do it?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I can't. I can't. The message to my kids is
not the right message. They wouldn't even.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Even just now, you're like, I wish I was a girl.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I would do it five million a year.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
I would have gotten married and I would do it
for sure, five million a year my wife. I can't, dude,
I can't.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Why seven million?

Speaker 3 (11:16):
See right, it's just fuel right?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Why wouldn't you do it?

Speaker 4 (11:18):
For five million, Like, why would you know, So it's
just a human body. Let your wife do it for five.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Million, it's our Yeah, I'll go get the camera.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I'll get the camera.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, no problem. Yeah, I'm glad if I had something
that could find that was positive. Yeah, all right, that
was telling me something good.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
That was telling me something good. It's time for the
good news already.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
There's a nineteen year old guy decides to go hiking
by himself in northern California in the mountains and he
gets out in the middle of nowhere when a storm
just comes in and he's like, uh, oh, I gotta
get back. Well, the storm is really bad. You really
can't get back. All this stuff is dying, like his
phone is dying. It's not good. But he has this
GPS device where he can hit a button and it

(12:08):
just alerts EMS, and so he waited until he had
to do that, and he finally hit it. He deployed
a whole search, a big search team went out K
nine units drones, and seven hours later of after searching,
they finally found him. He had hypothermia and they say, tky.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Seven hours to find him, even with a GPS on him.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think the GPS was working
at that point, just the emergency SOS.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
So oh got it? So so OS is not a GPS.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
No.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
So when the authorities got the alert, all it showed
was where he kind of started, and they had to
kind of track that trail of like where could he
be if he started here?

Speaker 1 (12:43):
If you're lost in the woods, there are two things
you do, name them which if you're trying to get
out of the woods, what do you feel like I've
this is the one where you pee.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Find water?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (13:01):
No, you're looking in the woods. What do you do
if you're trying to get out of the woods. If
you're lost in the woods, if you're track trees?

Speaker 3 (13:07):
What track your trees?

Speaker 1 (13:08):
What's that mean?

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, yeah, stone, You're in the right place. You're going
the right you like.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Follow trees like you you gotta go down? You want to? Don't?
You want to go to the water?

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (13:22):
How do you find it? Do you look at the sun?

Speaker 1 (13:23):
You're guy doing homeward Bound the movie?

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Do we look at the sun?

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Where the sun is?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Okay? So that the most basic principle of if you're
in the woods and you're trying to find Your way
out of the woods is walk tree to tree, looking
at the tree, because you will get lost. You will
go If you think you're going straight, you're not. You'll
end up walking going in a full circle your tree.
You look at a tree, that's your destination. As soon
as you get it, you look at another tree that's

(13:48):
your destination. That's how you stay on a line because
you have to go around things. But if you see
a tree, that's number one. Now, if you're not trying
to get out, what do you do.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
You're not trying to get out.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
If you're like there's no way I can find my
way out of.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Your way, that's when you want to find water.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
That's when you stay in one place.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
What about a fire?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
I thought you follow?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Well, there are other things you can do, like if
you want to kill an animal and wear it on
you and that create a new tribe. See where the
You got two options. You either stay in one place
or two. If you are trying to get out, you
go point to point, and there are other things that
you do, like get water and stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
I just cannot imagine build a new civilization, say in
one place, repopulate the planet.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
With your seed.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, which is the pea one. I remember you said like.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
That, if you're an avalanche, Oh, you're buried.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Okay, that's if you're an avalanche and you don't know. Yeah,
but you spit, let spit hang or you pee in
whichever way the water falls gravity that's down, so you
won't don't dig that way. You want to dig the
opposite way of your pee.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
And don't run from a bear. Okay. Well, I'm glad
they found the guy.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, he's good.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
All right, that's what it's all about.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
That was tell me something good. It's time for the
good news.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Last Thursday morning, and writes Town, Wisconsin, a semi truck
is driving er when all of a sudden it loses control,
crosses the median boom, crashes into a gas station. Uh oh,
you know what that means.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Fire?

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Yeah, And so Kyle was driving his truck and he's like, man,
I gotta go help, leaves his wife in the car,
jumps out, runs and gets a semi.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Truck driver out of the car. Oh, pulls him, Yeah,
pulls him out of the cab.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Not car.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Did he hit the gas pumps?

Speaker 4 (15:38):
It says he crashed into the wall of the gas station.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
I would assume there's some sort of medical episode happening
for all of that to happen like cross immediate, like
you have to pull him out or he's probably going
to die. Right.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
They took him to the hospital and they don't know.
They didn't say if he had a medical emergency or what.
Still under investigation. But he's alive.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
Man to the Palmer eighteen wheeler driver myself.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh yeah, that's right, carrying eggs, right, what's your hal.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
My CDL has expired though, Now what sucks? I can't
I can't legally get behind eighteen wheeler and drive onme.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
But you're a former truck driver.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
I was. I took got the test, got my license,
hauled eggs across Chattanooga and none of them broke.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
But I'm telling you, you got to respect these people
driving these these massive trucks. Cars are just darting in
or in around me. Willy nilly, somebody hits me, flips
that car. Ten cars are now hit.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
You can't stop immediately.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Right now, I'm glad I have that perspective. I respect
truck drivers so much more because I've done it, not
just the two days I drove the eggs across Chattanooga.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Never forget it.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Me having to take the test, me having to do
all of the Oh man, did.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
You get on the radio to like talk to other truckers.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, I's too nervous. I focus on driving. I'll be
honest with you. You doing that, and there are cars all
over the place, and you're you're a rookie. You just
don't want to hit anything. Could you realize if somebody
hits you or you hit somebody else, there are cars everywhere,
So respect your truckers. I must stay there. There you go.
That's what it's all about.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
That was tell me something good.
