Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Tell me something good.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
The good for me is going to be that the
playoffs start tonight, so the Cubs are playing. The bad
is that they're playing at 9 p.m. Central Time.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Oof.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Because they're playing in San Diego.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I know. It's late. I don't know what I can do.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I don't know if I can do it. Well, you
won't be watching.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I don't know if I can do it.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
It's game one of three, maybe of two, or one. No,
it's game one of three. I don't know, man. I
can't do it. If it were Arkansas and it was
a one game, and it's also a Saturday, I don't
know if I could do it. So here's what's up.
I have to go. Well, I'm going. I shouldn't say
(00:41):
I have to. I'm going to host the Radio Hall
of Fame award ceremony next Thursday evening in Chicago. If
they happen to beat the Padres, which they're not expected to.
The Cubs are a five seed. If they do beat
the Padres, they'll probably play the Brewers next. Milwaukee's only
an hour and a half away. maybe two from Chicago.
(01:02):
If they play Wednesday night, I'll probably go up and
go to that game in Milwaukee or Chicago, depending.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Where it is.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Ooh, that'd be cool.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, Thursday night I can't. But Wednesday night I could,
regardless of where they play, Milwaukee or Chicago. But they've
got to win. They've got to beat San Diego, and
San Diego's good. But that's what's up. Cubs play tonight,
playoffs start. I text Brett, who's a big Cubs fan.
I was like, game one, and I'll hear from him
in about two weeks. He's the worst texter ever. I'll
(01:30):
see him at my house before he texts me back.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Why?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well, because he's the weirdest, most non-phone person ever. Like,
I'll literally see him in human form sometimes before he
texts back, and he'll go, oh, I missed this. But
I'm like, dude, we spent an hour together two days ago.
What do you mean you missed this? That dude does
not care about his phone. But mine's the Cubs. So, yeah.
I got to tell me something that sucked. Do you
(01:53):
want that?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
My studios that I own, the air went out. like
one of the units, because we've been dealing with it
and getting it repaired, but the air went out fully,
and they're going, you can keep repairing this, but we're
just going to come back every probably four or five months,
and it's going to be the same bill. It's $ 12, 000
for a unit.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh, to buy it, to replace it?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Oh, jeez Louise. Because the unit's from 2001, which almost
feels like yesterday, let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
But then also it's 25 years ago. Oh, yeah, so
it's old, yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So we have to move some, do you know that yet,
our Bobby cast?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It just happened. Don't worry. Like today, we have to
do the NFL show from my house studio. And then
we have Luke Bryan coming over tomorrow. So that'll be
from the house. But hopefully we get this thing replaced.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But it's $ 12, 000. Gosh.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Those are the adult expenses that hurt.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
For sure. I was paying $ 3, 500 a pop, though, to
get the thing fixed and new parts in it. So
I don't want to have to deal with it. We're
in a small business, guys.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, I don't know what that's like.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
No. Yours is micro right now. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Very micro.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, it's micro right now. You don't have a lot
of overhead, a lot of expenses. I have a lot
of overhead and a lot of expenses. But Amy had
a small business for a while, but she was in
the cupcake company.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
She was the first franchisee. She started the cupcake business
in North Carolina. Yeah, the cupcake.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Bar based out of Austin, and then I opened one
in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You opened up a brick and mortar?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
No, because the whole concept is you would travel to,
it was a catering business. So you would take the
bar to weddings, birthday parties, other events. And you had bartenders,
cupcake bartenders, and the cupcakes were naked. So they had
nothing on them. And then you had icing and toppings
and you go up and you'd be like, oh, I'll
take a vanilla cupcake with chocolate icing and M & Ms.
(03:40):
And the bartender would make it.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's a cool idea.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Custom order. Yes. No, it's so cute. Like I was
obsessed with it when they were in Austin. So that's
why I wanted to open one in North Carolina. And
I ran it there for a couple of years and
had employees and then we moved. So I got rid
of it and I had to call it North or
Carolina Cupcake Bar because originally I called it the Cupcake Bar.
And then there was a cupcake bar in Raleigh and
they sued me.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Was it a cease and desist?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Uh, pretty much. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
And the thing is Lori, who owns it in Austin,
she flew up to North Carolina. We went to their
house and met with them and they acted like it
was cool. Like I was like, Hey, I'm not trying,
they were trying to do a brick and mortar in Raleigh.
I was like, I'm down in Southern pines, um, you know, uh,
an hour away. And I'm, I want to just stay
in Southern pines. Like I don't, I have a job.
(04:29):
I'm not trying to like do anything crazy. I'm just
trying to get out and meet people. Cause my husband deploys.
and he leaves the country. And I have some other
friends that would like to be bartenders. And it was
like a fun thing for us to do. And I
was like, trust me, I'm not a threat to your business.
It was a very different business model. They weren't doing
what we were doing. And they acted like cool. And
then a couple months later, I guess they talked to
(04:51):
a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I understand where they're coming from.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I do too. But I just wish I think we
could have handled it. We didn't I would have gladly
been like, okay, cool. Let me brainstorm some other names.
I'll do Carolina cupcake bar, which is what I had
to do. But then everyone's paying legal fees.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
And I'm like, yeah, I understand the frustration there too.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I know. It was just interesting because they agreed to
meet with us. And then that's, that was a long
time ago. And I get it. I probably, I maybe
would have even done what they did. Who's to say,
but I guess they, they had no way of knowing
how breezy I was.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Nobody's more breezy than Amy.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I mean, I would have been so breezy about it. Um,
but yeah, that was my small business.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
How are they doing now?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
The cupcake bar? They're still thriving in Austin.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
No, I'm talking about the one that... Oh, mine.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
When we left, when Ben got out of the Air
Force and we moved back to Austin, I shut it
down because I couldn't keep it running remotely.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
How is.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The one that sued you.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, he's asking that one.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I wonder if they're still going.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I hope they are. I mean, they were really nice
and they had good cupcakes, so... Maybe they even adopted
my model once I shut down. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Carolina Cupcake Bar is a better name for Carolina anyway.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, it ended up working out. But I was just like, man,
we could have saved a lot of money if you
just would have said it when we came to your house.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, that's frustrating too. What's your overhead on your salsa?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Overhead? It just depends on the orders. I don't have
employees or anything.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
But do you get money first before the delivery? Before
you make it. Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Sometimes. Sometimes not. I had to front it first. Like,
I had to front the money to get all the
ingredients at first. Now that I've got some built up,
I mean, I have no problem paying for the ingredients.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
So not a lot of overhead, then, now.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
No.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
No. How many jars do you think you're doing a
week on average?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
On average a week, I'm probably doing about 30.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That's crazy. I don't know why you just don't say, hey, Bobby,
give me some money and we can go and do
this bigger. Like, you.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
But when you give him money, what do you expect
him to do with that?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
To do with what?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
The money.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, no, no. I don't give him money. He's like,
you give me the money and we're going to draft these.
I'm not giving you money. It's like, hey, let's take
some money and let's build out a plan and we
find somebody to actually figure out how to create it.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Manufacture it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Distribute it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Bottle it.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Do it hyper-local first. Every Thursday, there's a park near
our house. They have a farmer's market. Maybe you do that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
There's just a lot of ways you can do it.
I don't know, what's frustrating to me is when someone
has a good idea around here and then you're like,
I want to do big things, but you don't want
to do big things because big things always come with
a massive risk. Yeah, and lots of responsibility. Right, so
you don't want to do big things.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I do.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
No, that's okay if you don't. No, no, I'm not
even putting shame onto that. You can do it as
you're doing it and love doing it and make the
money you're making, which is great, and be completely happy.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah. I just, I see a big picture of, I
just don't want to rush into the big picture.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You've got to rush. You have to rush and you
have to, I don't want to say be reckless, but
it's a little recklessness.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Just like horns in.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You just have to commit to it. And committing to
something like that is always risky, vulnerable, a bit dangerous.
That's why you create a different company. And if it fails,
you declare bankruptcy and that company never sees the light
of day again. People do that all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
There's just some hiccups, you know, with the salsa business.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Other hiccups?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No, I mean, if you want to go big with
your freshness.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Honestly, it's just the time, like, in my life. Like,
how much do I want to.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
But again, you're going to be asking the same question
in five years, and you're going to be doing the
same thing, going, I should have done it five years ago. Like,
that's what's going to be happening in five years. But also,
you should feel no pressure, because if you don't want
the stress of it, don't do it. But you're going
to be asking the same thing in five years... Man,
can I even do this now because my life is–
I'm kind of underwater with stuff. That's going to be
(08:45):
happening in five years too, if not more. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I feel like the older I get, the less.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Kids are going to be older, though.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
You'll have more time, I think.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
That's what I think because the kids will be– But
who knows if this job is even happening then, and
you're not going to have money to actually have a
consistent paycheck to support what you're doing to give you
that support. That's not that.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I don't like that energy.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
But I'm just saying all that can happen.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Give me a time frame on that.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
No, I'm just saying all of that.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Do you love when it like casually gets sprinkled in?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, like when am I going to be ready for that?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
There's just a lot of assumptions that in five years
things are going to be better and they may not be.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I see where you're coming from. I do.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And also, think of where you could be in five
years if you started now.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Best time to plant a tree. Yesterday.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Right freaking now.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Oh, right now.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right now.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Next best time.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
You missed it 20 years ago.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Right, right.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah. So, yeah, Eddie, you need to, and meeting with
like a recipe developer people, I may have a place
you could call that could help you make sure you
get it locked in, dial, and then other people start
producing it for you.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
All that costs money and all that is time. and
money and headache and stress, but it's just how bad
you want it. And if you don't want it, that's
great guys.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You want to hear something cool. So when they pick
up downstairs, there's a lot of traffic going on. And
there's a traffic cop down there that works for a
store down there. And now, I gave him a jar
of salsa. He's all in. He's like, don't worry, Eddie.
I'll get the traffic coming down over here.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Come through.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Jeep, come around.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Jeep, come around all those people.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's amazing. And then he's just like, hey, can I
get another jar of that in the next couple weeks?
You got it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I think you have something. And don't feel pressure to
do anything. But if you're not going to do anything,
you're never going to do anything. There's never a better time.
It's like having a kid. There's never a better time. Right.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And the good news about those farmers markets I've been
doing research, they're free to get into. At least the
one by my house.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And why have you been doing research?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Hey, man, I'm always, always looking. Always looking out, man.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
A little partnership?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, getting a partnership with him.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
This dude knows how to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I've run businesses.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Have you ever ran a business?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Go ahead. Go back to teenage years.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Lawn mowing business. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
When you were how old? 12. He gets older in
his stories.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
DVDs.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And then what happened there?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Illegal DVDs.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
That got shut down by the customs agents at the port.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Don't even bring it up. Don't even bring up the
other one.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, I don't because it's too much drama. How are
you doing with Abby's fiance? You talked to him at
all since?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Oh, no, no, no. We just had our meeting. But
everything he told me to do. It's in play. The 401k,
we'd like to get that a little bigger, but we're
working on that.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Are you still consistently contributing?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Every paycheck?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Nice. Good deal. Okay. Well, I'm not pushing you. Just
planting that little seed. No, there's no seed. If it
were me, we'd have been on it a year ago. Really?
But I, of course, I don't mind messing up, and
I don't mind doing things wrong for a minute, and
I don't mind being stressed out in my brain. All right.
(11:48):
That's a difference. But don't press yourself if you don't
want the stress because it sucks. That's just kind of
what it sucks.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That's what holds me back is like just I look
at my days and it's funny because like my wife
yesterday kind of we were all talking. We were having
dinner and she kind of just stopped dinner for a second.
I'd like to just point out real quick to all
the kids and that dad and she said this like
at the table that dad has made a choice to
be Like, he could easily pick work over you guys.
(12:23):
He could easily go do a bunch of stuff. But
he's always here to take you guys to games. What's
a bunch of stuff? What's that?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
When you say you do a bunch, what other bunch
of stuff would you be doing?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Like salsa. I think she, like, refers to, like, that.
It's like, he takes you to practices. He goes to
all your games. He does all the stuff. And it
was unsolicited. I was just sitting there being like, wow. Like,
I didn't even realize anyone cared. But I do love that.
I love that I'm done at 4 o'clock. And then
I pick up the boys from school and it's all
them until bedtime.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And this business could create that lifestyle for you forever.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I don't know. From the time I wake up to
the time I go to bed.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
No, not if you're paying people and they're doing the job,
not you.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
No, that's what I'm saying, dude. I'll be retired. Right?
You just go and check up on the business once
in a while?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Everyone's walking by the building.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
The building phase would be a grind.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Because that'd be awesome just to wake up and be like, oh,
I enjoy my coffee.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yes, that would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I'm going to swing by the factory at around, I
don't know, noon.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
See how the machines are working? Hey, Jimmy, how's the
assembly line going today?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And then, Bobby, we're going to play golf at what time?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Three? I don't play golf anymore, man. Ever since I
had a baby.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I have a kid now. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well, anyway, I'm rooting for you. 30 jars, that's significant.
That's to the point where I would start wanting to
scale it a bit, but everybody's not insane like me.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
You're not insane.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
My wife says every hobby that I get, I find
a way to grow it and monetize it and turn
it into my career. Every hobby, every single hobby I get,
I go, Oh, how can I do this on a
bigger level? And how can we do this and create
content and make money with it?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Instead of just enjoying the hobby for what it is.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Oh, which I need your advice. And I keep forgetting
to see when you have like a couple minutes to meet.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Whenever. Today?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
All you have to do is go, can you talk
right now?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I know, but I forget. I mentioned it to you
the other day, but we were at your house, and
it was quick, and then you had other things immediately after,
so I just left, and then I... No.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Well, Amy, there's no better time than now, right? Go
for it.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Oh, no. This is going to be private.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Okay, okay. You wanted like a real back and forth,
a little brainstorming.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I mean, I guess I could, but no.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
We can help you.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
The thing is, I'm not opposed to it. It's just
too premature, so I need... Bobby's advice first and then
I'll share with you.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I mean, Eddie and I could chime in. You never know.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
They could chime.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Three heads are better than one.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Man, Lunchbox is trying to just force his way into the.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I think what you have going is really cool. You're
doing 30 a week. That's why I get so excited
about the options. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's funny because when I have an order that's big,
I stress out. It's like, oh man, I guess it's
going to take some time to make and And just
the organizing of people like, all right, you can be
here at two, right? You can be here at one. Hey,
I'm running a little early. Can you like, no, I
can't meet early. Like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's stressful.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
But I think 30, around 30, up to 50 a week.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
What's your biggest week?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh, dude, I've done 50 a week. You have?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, that's crazy. That was a crazy week.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
That's when the cooler gets involved.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
That's so cool.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
The big cooler.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, I'm hauling the cooler around. Woof. And then people
are like, oh, I want mine a little hotter, so
I have to be organized and be like, all right,
this one's a little hotter. It's getting crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
See, that's where I think you stress yourself out. I
think you have to have either hot or mild. There's no, like,
I'm going to make yours specifically hot. You know what
I mean? Like, they're either hot, mild. You have two
different temperatures. That's it.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That's your thinking. He's not doing a business.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I know, but he's... I do think... That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
At this level.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
What? Amy's right. She didn't say anything.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
At this point, when there's 30 to 50, I think
you do it based on the people. I know what
Amy's about to say.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I'm about to say that's working right now. Is that
sustainable for growth? No.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But right now, at 30 to 50, you can do that.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Is that what you were going to say, Lunchbox?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It adds a lot of stress to your plate, I think.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I think as he's building customers and clients, it's great
he can customize because you get loyal customers and they'll
also understand if one day they need to choose mild, medium,
or hot.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Repeated customers is a thing. Once you got that- Just repeat. What?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Is it just repeat or is it repeated?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh, maybe repeat customers?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
You know, I think it's repeat. I've never heard repeated customers,
but you're the guy running the business.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
The customers that keep hitting me up for more salsa
is pretty, it's amazing. Like I know who those five
or six people are and it's really cool.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah. Anyway, I think it's really cool.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Thank you, man.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I know we give you a hard time.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
About crap, but that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
No, it is cool. Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I did mine. I had to turn it into that.
Did you give yours?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
So I lost a ring in my car. Like it
fell through the seat. The middle part of the seat? Yeah.
And even with moving the seat back and forth and getting,
you know, in the front with a flashlight in the
back with a flashlight. I just couldn't find where it was.
So I was like, okay, I guess it's just gone. Well,
you know, my car was at the dealership for ever.
(17:21):
And they, after they did some work on it, they
cleaned it. And then in my console, I I've had
my car back for a little bit, but I opened
up the console and the ring is sitting in the console.
They must've found it and just put it in the
console for safekeeping. So that was just like so cool
because I thought it was just going to be missing
(17:43):
forever because it's like this big. You thought it was.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Missing forever even though it fell on your car?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Forever?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
There's a black hole in the car.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Just short of like what? Removing the seat to find it?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I was digging everywhere and you can only fit your
wrist so far. Like I, I mean, I got like
a little... hangar thing. I was trying to dig in
there to see if I could scoop it out, but
I didn't have eyes on it. So I didn't really
even know where to dig. So the fact that they
randomly found it when they were doing stuff in my car,
that just was really cool because it's a special ring.
(18:18):
It is from my ex-husband, but I love it.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
If you look deep enough in that console, you might
find your Aggie ring.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh gosh, it's in there.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Somebody put it in there long ago.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I did not have this car when I had that.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
But somehow that'd be amazing, right? If it's still in there.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Did you call them and thank them?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
That would be amazing. You know what?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I should.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I didn't, but I should do that. And I'd be like, hey,
I want to say thank you and thank you for
putting in the console and not telling me that it
was her.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
And they're going to say thank you for the tip.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Where's the money?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Well, they probably find stuff in people's car all the time.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
And take it.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Oh, I've told you guys about my watch, right? Have
I ever told you that?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
What?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh, it was a long time ago. My dad gave
me a Rolex after I graduated college. And I wore
it every single day. I loved it. I thought it
was so cool. And then one day I just lost it. Like,
could not find it anywhere. And it was like months.
And I took my car to this shady place to
get detailed. Shady. They didn't speak English. It was in
(19:14):
a corner of a street. If I said that.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
If you say it slightly, but you do have the
Hispanic cred.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It was by my aunt's house and she doesn't live
in a very nice neighborhood, but she said, yeah, just
go take it and get detailed.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I went to get it detailed and I go pick
it up and my watch is sitting on the seat.
And I was like, Oh, they could have taken it.
Where did you get this? And they're like, Oh, it
was back there under the back seat.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And I was like, do you know what this is?
And they're like, yeah, Rolex. Nice watch. But they gave
it to me, like they found it and they left
it on the seat and I tipped them. I was like,
I couldn't believe it. And I was like probably 23
at the time. Couldn't afford really a lot of money.
So I tipped them like $ 50.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That's really cool.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
They did that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
What was stupid to me was I'll get my car
washed about every month. And mostly, more than the outside,
it's about the detailing inside. And they left a bag of, like,
trash in the back. And I just threw the bag away.
Except it wasn't a bag of trash. It was all
the stuff that was in the car that was, like,
a hat. Like, anything. No watch or anything like that.
(20:22):
But anything that they find and they don't know what
to do with, they just put it in a bag.
And I threw it away thinking it was trash. And
then there was nothing in there.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I know.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I'm so stupid. I know.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
So.
I wasn't calling you stupid.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It was stupid.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
No, it was stupid because I didn't look in it.
I just assumed it was a bag of trash. I
don't know. But it was a cut-out shirt that I
had cleaned. I keep an extra set of clothes in
my car.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Just in case?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It was some pickleballs, just stupid stuff. But I threw
it all away like an idiot. I'm trying to send
Arkansas Keith a picture of Billy because he just texted me.
He's like, send me another picture of Billy. How about...
This one.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Boom.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Boom.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Got it. Let's see.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Good.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm glad they found your ring.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yes, me too.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, last night, Monday Night Football, my Chicago Bears were
playing and I didn't have much hope because we were
on our third string quarterback. Sat down in front of
the TV. It's like, all right, we're going to get
blown out by halftime, and I'll go to bed early.
And I sat down, and they came out, and the
third-string quarterback lit up the Philadelphia Eagles, and they whooped that.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Butt.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Is he the third-string quarterback?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Wow, I didn't realize that.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, because Badgen also had to go into protocol.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, for concussion at the end of last week's game.
And he got clear, and they were like, no, we're
sticking with the third stringer. He hadn't taken a snap
in the NFL in three years.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
And he came out chunking the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
That's what I'm saying. It was awesome. So it felt
really good. Like, I thought they were going to get whooped.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Did you stay up for the whole, whole, whole game?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bears scored another touchdown,
and I was like, it's over.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Those games are so late.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Imagine if you lived East Coast. I think about that sometimes.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh, terrible.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, it was like 945 when they scored another touchdown,
and I was like, good night.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
For all of our listeners, Eastern Time's on. God bless you.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
They have to deal with it every day.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I don't know how they watch sports.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I know. Eddie?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
So yesterday my son had a baseball practice, and I said,
you know what? Why don't we all go? So I
took all the kids, and it's pretty cool. One kid
has the practice, but the other two hang out with
the other siblings, and they play kickball in some of
the other baseball fields. And it was just me and
my wife. I'm like, why don't we just go walk
around and just walk around the whole park and just
(22:43):
catch up? And we did. We walked. We talked. We talked.
It was very nice to just hang out, her and I,
and it was really, like, I had this moment of, like,
maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the time of year
or what, but I looked around, like, I can't believe
that we live in this part of the country, and
it's so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, it's the weather, dude. It's literally been so hot
that finally we start to find, oh, wow, life is
actually somewhat enjoyable because it's not miserable outside.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Like, I remember growing up in South Texas and seeing
mesquite trees, and, like, that's it. Like, there was no, like,
pretty big trees outside. Nothing pretty to look at. It
was very dusty and hot. And then I'm walking around
this park thinking like, gosh, I can't believe we live
in one of the most beautiful parts of our country.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, like Hawaii. You're right. Hawaii would be way cooler.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
There's like six or seven really cool regions depending on.
Everybody calls their own part of the country God's country.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Do they?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Regardless of where you live. You have something about your
area that you're like, this is God's country.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Oh, like the Texas Hill country?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, everybody's got a version.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I feel like that when I go to the mountains
and I look at the big, big mountains and just like, dang.
God's country. God's country. Because they're so big and we're
so small.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
So was your youngest kid the one with practice? Yeah.
That makes sense because the other three are old enough
to go off and play.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Where you wouldn't really be able to allow the youngest
to run off without supervision, right?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
He could, but nah, ask him for trouble if I
did that. All right, good.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I'm glad you.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It was fun. It was a fun night.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I'm glad you like where you live.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Man, it's crazy. Compared to where I grew up, this
place is magical.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Do you like where you live?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Love it.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Let's say, I'm going to throw it out there again,
this job went away tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Oh, I'd move. Oh, you would? Oh, for sure. Well,
the only thing keeping me here would be the kids
and their relationships and their schools.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
They can find new friends.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I think they can find new friends. Would you move, though?
In Florida, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
You'd move to Florida? Not even back home?
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Oh, no, no.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I'd move to Florida, buy the beach. I'd get my boat.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Well, where's the money coming from?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
The smaller house that I'm going to get. I'm going
to sell my house here.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
With four kids, you're going to buy a smaller house
in Florida?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, we'll make it work.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Just so you can live and have a boat?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yes, and be by the beach.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's what you would really do.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Imagine our walks that I just described by the beach.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Really?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
That you would go to Florida right now.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
In a heartbeat.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And you'd buy a smaller house just so you could
have a boat with four kids right now.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
And live by the beach.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
What would you do?
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I mean, I probably, if I could... This is fantasy.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
No, we're not doing fantasy. We're doing real.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Okay. But this could be real, but I mean, there'd
be some things to work out. Like, I don't know
if I would stay. Like I would maybe.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Go to Colorado.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
The property right next to my sister is for sale.
So I'd move there. My son could finish high school there.
His dad could come visit. He visits there anyway. His
family has a place there. Um, Because, shoot, he might move.
Then he might be like, okay, I'll move to North Carolina.
Because that's where his business is. So that's probably what
(25:42):
I would do. And then my sister and I could
work on projects together. I could work at the coffee shop.
Day trade.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Day trade? You're a stockbroker.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Don't do that.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
No, my friend is... My friend day trades, and she's
actually really good at it.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
She's like, I'll teach you.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
And then.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah, that's probably, yeah, that would make me really happy
to be near my sister because, I mean, staying here.
But then Pagosa Springs, Colorado is a tiny town. Now,
I do have the benefit of a lot of tourists.
I mean, that place in the summer and the winter
is busy, but how am I going to meet somebody?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Worry about that a second.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
What do you mean, like a? A man?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I've seen many Hallmark movies where small towns, somebody just
happens to show up.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Around Christmas time.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
They just spawn right there in those small towns in
Colorado where there's snow.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Or their car gets stuck. And I do have the
perfect backdrop of the coffee shop on the river. So
I feel like that'll give me opportunity.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Is this surrounded by mountains? That's how I'm picturing it.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah, my sister lives on the river. Okay, everybody.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
What would you do?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
We'd probably stay here. Just because Caitlin would want to
stay here.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Really? Y'all wouldn't go back? Where? By the family? Arkansas?
You have a nice house right by the stadium?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
She does not want to live in Arkansas, really. And
she doesn't want to live in Oklahoma. So this is
a good location. She likes Nashville a lot. It took
her a while because she came and had no friend system.
But I think, and I don't care. Also, if I
told you I have a small business I got a
bunch of money in, I was going to leave that.
I really don't care. I could easily go and live
(27:16):
in Austin again. I'd probably pick going to Fayetteville and
live there. I know that that wouldn't be her cup
of tea. And I go, okay, we'll go to Oklahoma.
And I don't think she'd want to do that either.
Because I could go to Tulsa pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
That'd be cool.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I really don't care where we live.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Really?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, not really.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Oh, as long as you're with the people you love.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, and I can do anything. That's nice. Anywhere.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
From anywhere. So then let's go to Florida, dude.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I don't need the beach. The only thing is I
don't want to live somewhere cold.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
And Florida's not cold. You're right.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Let's get a boat, dude.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Let's do it.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
All right, there you go. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
A pair of lifelong friends in their 70s recently spent
nine days walking about 90 miles across western Washington with
one simple mission. Be kind, do good. Their names are
Jim Hall and Bob Bruce, and they traveled from Shoreline
to the state capital in Olympia in handing out free
t-shirts and homemade cookies to people they met along the way.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Who would eat a homemade cookie from somebody walking down
the street?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
No one.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I'm having trouble with that. I like the idea.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
They gave away thousands of cookies, so thousands of people
took these things.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Maybe they took them and didn't eat them.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I just think if someone's walking down the street, I'm
not even taking the cookie, by the way, but I
like what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
There is no fundraising, no sales pitch, no other agenda
behind the trip besides spreading a little kindness.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yes. I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Did you say they walked?
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Geez, is there 90?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
They walked, no, they're in their 70s and they walked
90 miles.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I know, but 70s is still good, though. 70s is legit.
I might take a cookie. The older you are, I'm
more prone to eat a cookie. If you're 30, I
ain't eating it. If you're 60, I'm probably thinking about it. 70, okay,
let me see what kind it is. 80, I'm for
sure eating the cookie.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
They stopped at churches, a synagogue, homeless encampments, so they
probably were like, yeah, T-shirts. They were passing out T-shirts
and cookies.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
What's her name?
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Construction workers. Jim and Bob.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Jim and Bob. Classic names for 70-year-olds. All right. That's
what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
With Lunchbox.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Tell me something good.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
NeighborWorks Green Bay is an organization that holds this Neighbor Week,
where one week a year they go out and they
do things in the community. help with repairs of the houses,
the yards, and they did 23 different home improvement projects
this past week.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
So do people just submit what they need?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeah, they submit like, oh, maybe I'm down on money
or I'm disabled. Or if a neighbor sees a house
in disrepair, they go and nominate them and say, hey.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Is that a word, disrepair? I never heard it.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I knew what he meant, but I don't know if
that's a word.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Disrepair.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
No, it's similar. Is it that word or is it similar?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
No, I don't know. I just think it's an interesting
word to use if it's a real word. Disrepair. Disrepair.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Yeah, I think it sounds right.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I never heard it before. Is that on your sheet
of paper? Is that what you're using?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
No, that's just my vocab.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Eddie, can you look at his paper and see if
it says disrepair?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Sure, of course.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
He nailed that.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
You're having Eddie who can't read.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I know what words look like, Lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
But I'm just telling you, and it's no cost to
the homeowners. It's absolutely free.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
No, the story's great, and I like disrepair. I'm going
to use that. That's a real word.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Disrepair? It doesn't look like it's in the story.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
It's a real word, though.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, that's just from my dome. Give the guy credit.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
You just pulled that from the dome?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Good job, dude.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
That's my English classes paying off.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
There's another tell me something good. Lunchbox, use disrepair. Now
we can all use that. Disrepair, the state of being damaged, broken,
or in poor working order. Wow.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Lunchbox is in disrepair.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
No, I am not in disrepair.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
All right, there you go. That's what it's all about.
That was tell me something good.
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Tell me something good.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
The good for me is going to be that the
playoffs start tonight, so the Cubs are playing. The bad
is that they're playing at 9 p.m. Central Time.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
Oof.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Because they're playing in San Diego.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I know. It's late. I don't know what I can do.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I don't know if I can do it. Well, you
won't be watching.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I don't know if I can do it.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
It's game one of three, maybe of two, or one. No,
it's game one of three. I don't know, man. I
can't do it. If it were Arkansas and it was
a one game, and it's also a Saturday, I don't
know if I could do it. So here's what's up.
I have to go. Well, I'm going. I shouldn't say
(00:41):
I have to. I'm going to host the Radio Hall
of Fame award ceremony next Thursday evening in Chicago. If
they happen to beat the Padres, which they're not expected to.
The Cubs are a five seed. If they do beat
the Padres, they'll probably play the Brewers next. Milwaukee's only
an hour and a half away. maybe two from Chicago.
(01:02):
If they play Wednesday night, I'll probably go up and
go to that game in Milwaukee or Chicago, depending.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Where it is.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Ooh, that'd be cool.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, Thursday night I can't. But Wednesday night I could,
regardless of where they play, Milwaukee or Chicago. But they've
got to win. They've got to beat San Diego, and
San Diego's good. But that's what's up. Cubs play tonight,
playoffs start. I text Brett, who's a big Cubs fan.
I was like, game one, and I'll hear from him
in about two weeks. He's the worst texter ever. I'll
(01:30):
see him at my house before he texts me back.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Why?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well, because he's the weirdest, most non-phone person ever. Like,
I'll literally see him in human form sometimes before he
texts back, and he'll go, oh, I missed this. But
I'm like, dude, we spent an hour together two days ago.
What do you mean you missed this? That dude does
not care about his phone. But mine's the Cubs. So, yeah.
I got to tell me something that sucked. Do you
(01:53):
want that?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
My studios that I own, the air went out. like
one of the units, because we've been dealing with it
and getting it repaired, but the air went out fully,
and they're going, you can keep repairing this, but we're
just going to come back every probably four or five months,
and it's going to be the same bill. It's $ 12, 000
for a unit.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh, to buy it, to replace it?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Oh, jeez Louise. Because the unit's from 2001, which almost
feels like yesterday, let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
But then also it's 25 years ago. Oh, yeah, so
it's old, yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So we have to move some, do you know that yet,
our Bobby cast?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It just happened. Don't worry. Like today, we have to
do the NFL show from my house studio. And then
we have Luke Bryan coming over tomorrow. So that'll be
from the house. But hopefully we get this thing replaced.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
But it's $ 12, 000. Gosh.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Those are the adult expenses that hurt.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
For sure. I was paying $ 3, 500 a pop, though, to
get the thing fixed and new parts in it. So
I don't want to have to deal with it. We're
in a small business, guys.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, I don't know what that's like.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
No. Yours is micro right now. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Very micro.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, it's micro right now. You don't have a lot
of overhead, a lot of expenses. I have a lot
of overhead and a lot of expenses. But Amy had
a small business for a while, but she was in
the cupcake company.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
She was the first franchisee. She started the cupcake business
in North Carolina. Yeah, the cupcake.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Bar based out of Austin, and then I opened one
in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You opened up a brick and mortar?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
No, because the whole concept is you would travel to,
it was a catering business. So you would take the
bar to weddings, birthday parties, other events. And you had bartenders,
cupcake bartenders, and the cupcakes were naked. So they had
nothing on them. And then you had icing and toppings
and you go up and you'd be like, oh, I'll
take a vanilla cupcake with chocolate icing and M & Ms.
(03:40):
And the bartender would make it.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's a cool idea.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Custom order. Yes. No, it's so cute. Like I was
obsessed with it when they were in Austin. So that's
why I wanted to open one in North Carolina. And
I ran it there for a couple of years and
had employees and then we moved. So I got rid
of it and I had to call it North or
Carolina Cupcake Bar because originally I called it the Cupcake Bar.
And then there was a cupcake bar in Raleigh and
they sued me.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I got it.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Was it a cease and desist?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Uh, pretty much. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
And the thing is Lori, who owns it in Austin,
she flew up to North Carolina. We went to their
house and met with them and they acted like it
was cool. Like I was like, Hey, I'm not trying,
they were trying to do a brick and mortar in Raleigh.
I was like, I'm down in Southern pines, um, you know, uh,
an hour away. And I'm, I want to just stay
in Southern pines. Like I don't, I have a job.
(04:29):
I'm not trying to like do anything crazy. I'm just
trying to get out and meet people. Cause my husband deploys.
and he leaves the country. And I have some other
friends that would like to be bartenders. And it was
like a fun thing for us to do. And I
was like, trust me, I'm not a threat to your business.
It was a very different business model. They weren't doing
what we were doing. And they acted like cool. And
then a couple months later, I guess they talked to
(04:51):
a lawyer.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I understand where they're coming from.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I do too. But I just wish I think we
could have handled it. We didn't I would have gladly
been like, okay, cool. Let me brainstorm some other names.
I'll do Carolina cupcake bar, which is what I had
to do. But then everyone's paying legal fees.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
And I'm like, yeah, I understand the frustration there too.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I know. It was just interesting because they agreed to
meet with us. And then that's, that was a long
time ago. And I get it. I probably, I maybe
would have even done what they did. Who's to say,
but I guess they, they had no way of knowing
how breezy I was.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Nobody's more breezy than Amy.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
I mean, I would have been so breezy about it. Um,
but yeah, that was my small business.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
How are they doing now?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
The cupcake bar? They're still thriving in Austin.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
No, I'm talking about the one that... Oh, mine.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
When we left, when Ben got out of the Air
Force and we moved back to Austin, I shut it
down because I couldn't keep it running remotely.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
How is.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The one that sued you.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, he's asking that one.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I wonder if they're still going.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I hope they are. I mean, they were really nice
and they had good cupcakes, so... Maybe they even adopted
my model once I shut down. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Carolina Cupcake Bar is a better name for Carolina anyway.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah, it ended up working out. But I was just like, man,
we could have saved a lot of money if you
just would have said it when we came to your house.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, that's frustrating too. What's your overhead on your salsa?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Overhead? It just depends on the orders. I don't have
employees or anything.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
But do you get money first before the delivery? Before
you make it. Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Sometimes. Sometimes not. I had to front it first. Like,
I had to front the money to get all the
ingredients at first. Now that I've got some built up,
I mean, I have no problem paying for the ingredients.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
So not a lot of overhead, then, now.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
No.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
No. How many jars do you think you're doing a
week on average?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
On average a week, I'm probably doing about 30.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
That's crazy. I don't know why you just don't say, hey, Bobby,
give me some money and we can go and do
this bigger. Like, you.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
But when you give him money, what do you expect
him to do with that?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
To do with what?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
The money.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, no, no. I don't give him money. He's like,
you give me the money and we're going to draft these.
I'm not giving you money. It's like, hey, let's take
some money and let's build out a plan and we
find somebody to actually figure out how to create it.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Manufacture it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Distribute it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Bottle it.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Do it hyper-local first. Every Thursday, there's a park near
our house. They have a farmer's market. Maybe you do that.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I've seen it.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
There's just a lot of ways you can do it.
I don't know, what's frustrating to me is when someone
has a good idea around here and then you're like,
I want to do big things, but you don't want
to do big things because big things always come with
a massive risk. Yeah, and lots of responsibility. Right, so
you don't want to do big things.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I do.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
No, that's okay if you don't. No, no, I'm not
even putting shame onto that. You can do it as
you're doing it and love doing it and make the
money you're making, which is great, and be completely happy.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah. I just, I see a big picture of, I
just don't want to rush into the big picture.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You've got to rush. You have to rush and you
have to, I don't want to say be reckless, but
it's a little recklessness.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Just like horns in.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You just have to commit to it. And committing to
something like that is always risky, vulnerable, a bit dangerous.
That's why you create a different company. And if it fails,
you declare bankruptcy and that company never sees the light
of day again. People do that all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
There's just some hiccups, you know, with the salsa business.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Other hiccups?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No, I mean, if you want to go big with
your freshness.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Honestly, it's just the time, like, in my life. Like,
how much do I want to.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
But again, you're going to be asking the same question
in five years, and you're going to be doing the
same thing, going, I should have done it five years ago. Like,
that's what's going to be happening in five years. But also,
you should feel no pressure, because if you don't want
the stress of it, don't do it. But you're going
to be asking the same thing in five years... Man,
can I even do this now because my life is–
I'm kind of underwater with stuff. That's going to be
(08:45):
happening in five years too, if not more. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I feel like the older I get, the less.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Kids are going to be older, though.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
You'll have more time, I think.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
That's what I think because the kids will be– But
who knows if this job is even happening then, and
you're not going to have money to actually have a
consistent paycheck to support what you're doing to give you
that support. That's not that.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I don't like that energy.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
But I'm just saying all that can happen.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Give me a time frame on that.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
No, I'm just saying all of that.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Do you love when it like casually gets sprinkled in?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, like when am I going to be ready for that?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
There's just a lot of assumptions that in five years
things are going to be better and they may not be.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I see where you're coming from. I do.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And also, think of where you could be in five
years if you started now.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Best time to plant a tree. Yesterday.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Right freaking now.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Oh, right now.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Right now.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right now.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Next best time.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
You missed it 20 years ago.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Right, right.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah. So, yeah, Eddie, you need to, and meeting with
like a recipe developer people, I may have a place
you could call that could help you make sure you
get it locked in, dial, and then other people start
producing it for you.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
All that costs money and all that is time. and
money and headache and stress, but it's just how bad
you want it. And if you don't want it, that's
great guys.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
You want to hear something cool. So when they pick
up downstairs, there's a lot of traffic going on. And
there's a traffic cop down there that works for a
store down there. And now, I gave him a jar
of salsa. He's all in. He's like, don't worry, Eddie.
I'll get the traffic coming down over here.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Come through.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Jeep, come around.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Jeep, come around all those people.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's amazing. And then he's just like, hey, can I
get another jar of that in the next couple weeks?
You got it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I think you have something. And don't feel pressure to
do anything. But if you're not going to do anything,
you're never going to do anything. There's never a better time.
It's like having a kid. There's never a better time. Right.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And the good news about those farmers markets I've been
doing research, they're free to get into. At least the
one by my house.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And why have you been doing research?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Hey, man, I'm always, always looking. Always looking out, man.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
A little partnership?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, getting a partnership with him.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
This dude knows how to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I've run businesses.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Have you ever ran a business?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Go ahead. Go back to teenage years.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Lawn mowing business. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
When you were how old? 12. He gets older in
his stories.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
DVDs.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And then what happened there?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Illegal DVDs.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
That got shut down by the customs agents at the port.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Don't even bring it up. Don't even bring up the
other one.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, I don't because it's too much drama. How are
you doing with Abby's fiance? You talked to him at
all since?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Oh, no, no, no. We just had our meeting. But
everything he told me to do. It's in play. The 401k,
we'd like to get that a little bigger, but we're
working on that.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Are you still consistently contributing?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Every paycheck?
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Nice. Good deal. Okay. Well, I'm not pushing you. Just
planting that little seed. No, there's no seed. If it
were me, we'd have been on it a year ago. Really?
But I, of course, I don't mind messing up, and
I don't mind doing things wrong for a minute, and
I don't mind being stressed out in my brain. All right.
(11:48):
That's a difference. But don't press yourself if you don't
want the stress because it sucks. That's just kind of
what it sucks.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
That's what holds me back is like just I look
at my days and it's funny because like my wife
yesterday kind of we were all talking. We were having
dinner and she kind of just stopped dinner for a second.
I'd like to just point out real quick to all
the kids and that dad and she said this like
at the table that dad has made a choice to
be Like, he could easily pick work over you guys.
(12:23):
He could easily go do a bunch of stuff. But
he's always here to take you guys to games. What's
a bunch of stuff? What's that?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
When you say you do a bunch, what other bunch
of stuff would you be doing?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Like salsa. I think she, like, refers to, like, that.
It's like, he takes you to practices. He goes to
all your games. He does all the stuff. And it
was unsolicited. I was just sitting there being like, wow. Like,
I didn't even realize anyone cared. But I do love that.
I love that I'm done at 4 o'clock. And then
I pick up the boys from school and it's all
them until bedtime.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And this business could create that lifestyle for you forever.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I don't know. From the time I wake up to
the time I go to bed.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
No, not if you're paying people and they're doing the job,
not you.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
No, that's what I'm saying, dude. I'll be retired. Right?
You just go and check up on the business once
in a while?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Everyone's walking by the building.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
The building phase would be a grind.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Because that'd be awesome just to wake up and be like, oh,
I enjoy my coffee.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yes, that would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I'm going to swing by the factory at around, I
don't know, noon.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
See how the machines are working? Hey, Jimmy, how's the
assembly line going today?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
And then, Bobby, we're going to play golf at what time?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Three? I don't play golf anymore, man. Ever since I
had a baby.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I have a kid now. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well, anyway, I'm rooting for you. 30 jars, that's significant.
That's to the point where I would start wanting to
scale it a bit, but everybody's not insane like me.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
You're not insane.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
My wife says every hobby that I get, I find
a way to grow it and monetize it and turn
it into my career. Every hobby, every single hobby I get,
I go, Oh, how can I do this on a
bigger level? And how can we do this and create
content and make money with it?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Instead of just enjoying the hobby for what it is.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Oh, which I need your advice. And I keep forgetting
to see when you have like a couple minutes to meet.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Whenever. Today?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
All you have to do is go, can you talk
right now?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I know, but I forget. I mentioned it to you
the other day, but we were at your house, and
it was quick, and then you had other things immediately after,
so I just left, and then I... No.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Well, Amy, there's no better time than now, right? Go
for it.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Oh, no. This is going to be private.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Okay, okay. You wanted like a real back and forth,
a little brainstorming.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
I mean, I guess I could, but no.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
We can help you.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
The thing is, I'm not opposed to it. It's just
too premature, so I need... Bobby's advice first and then
I'll share with you.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I mean, Eddie and I could chime in. You never know.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
They could chime.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Three heads are better than one.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Man, Lunchbox is trying to just force his way into the.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I think what you have going is really cool. You're
doing 30 a week. That's why I get so excited
about the options. That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's funny because when I have an order that's big,
I stress out. It's like, oh man, I guess it's
going to take some time to make and And just
the organizing of people like, all right, you can be
here at two, right? You can be here at one. Hey,
I'm running a little early. Can you like, no, I
can't meet early. Like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
It's stressful.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
But I think 30, around 30, up to 50 a week.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
What's your biggest week?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh, dude, I've done 50 a week. You have?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah, that's crazy. That was a crazy week.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
That's so cool.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
That's when the cooler gets involved.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
That's so cool.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
The big cooler.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, I'm hauling the cooler around. Woof. And then people
are like, oh, I want mine a little hotter, so
I have to be organized and be like, all right,
this one's a little hotter. It's getting crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
See, that's where I think you stress yourself out. I
think you have to have either hot or mild. There's no, like,
I'm going to make yours specifically hot. You know what
I mean? Like, they're either hot, mild. You have two
different temperatures. That's it.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That's your thinking. He's not doing a business.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I know, but he's... I do think... That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
At this level.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
What? Amy's right. She didn't say anything.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
At this point, when there's 30 to 50, I think
you do it based on the people. I know what
Amy's about to say.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I'm about to say that's working right now. Is that
sustainable for growth? No.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But right now, at 30 to 50, you can do that.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Is that what you were going to say, Lunchbox?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It adds a lot of stress to your plate, I think.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I think as he's building customers and clients, it's great
he can customize because you get loyal customers and they'll
also understand if one day they need to choose mild, medium,
or hot.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Repeated customers is a thing. Once you got that- Just repeat. What?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Is it just repeat or is it repeated?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh, maybe repeat customers?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
You know, I think it's repeat. I've never heard repeated customers,
but you're the guy running the business.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
The customers that keep hitting me up for more salsa
is pretty, it's amazing. Like I know who those five
or six people are and it's really cool.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah. Anyway, I think it's really cool.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Thank you, man.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I know we give you a hard time.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
About crap, but that's really cool.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
No, it is cool. Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I did mine. I had to turn it into that.
Did you give yours?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
No.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
So I lost a ring in my car. Like it
fell through the seat. The middle part of the seat? Yeah.
And even with moving the seat back and forth and getting,
you know, in the front with a flashlight in the
back with a flashlight. I just couldn't find where it was.
So I was like, okay, I guess it's just gone. Well,
you know, my car was at the dealership for ever.
(17:21):
And they, after they did some work on it, they
cleaned it. And then in my console, I I've had
my car back for a little bit, but I opened
up the console and the ring is sitting in the console.
They must've found it and just put it in the
console for safekeeping. So that was just like so cool
because I thought it was just going to be missing
(17:43):
forever because it's like this big. You thought it was.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Missing forever even though it fell on your car?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Forever?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
There's a black hole in the car.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Just short of like what? Removing the seat to find it?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I was digging everywhere and you can only fit your
wrist so far. Like I, I mean, I got like
a little... hangar thing. I was trying to dig in
there to see if I could scoop it out, but
I didn't have eyes on it. So I didn't really
even know where to dig. So the fact that they
randomly found it when they were doing stuff in my car,
that just was really cool because it's a special ring.
(18:18):
It is from my ex-husband, but I love it.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
If you look deep enough in that console, you might
find your Aggie ring.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh gosh, it's in there.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Somebody put it in there long ago.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I did not have this car when I had that.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
But somehow that'd be amazing, right? If it's still in there.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Did you call them and thank them?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
That would be amazing. You know what?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I should.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I didn't, but I should do that. And I'd be like, hey,
I want to say thank you and thank you for
putting in the console and not telling me that it
was her.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
And they're going to say thank you for the tip.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Where's the money?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Well, they probably find stuff in people's car all the time.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
And take it.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Oh, I've told you guys about my watch, right? Have
I ever told you that?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
What?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Oh, it was a long time ago. My dad gave
me a Rolex after I graduated college. And I wore
it every single day. I loved it. I thought it
was so cool. And then one day I just lost it. Like,
could not find it anywhere. And it was like months.
And I took my car to this shady place to
get detailed. Shady. They didn't speak English. It was in
(19:14):
a corner of a street. If I said that.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
If you say it slightly, but you do have the
Hispanic cred.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It was by my aunt's house and she doesn't live
in a very nice neighborhood, but she said, yeah, just
go take it and get detailed.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I went to get it detailed and I go pick
it up and my watch is sitting on the seat.
And I was like, Oh, they could have taken it.
Where did you get this? And they're like, Oh, it
was back there under the back seat.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And I was like, do you know what this is?
And they're like, yeah, Rolex. Nice watch. But they gave
it to me, like they found it and they left
it on the seat and I tipped them. I was like,
I couldn't believe it. And I was like probably 23
at the time. Couldn't afford really a lot of money.
So I tipped them like $ 50.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
That's really cool.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
They did that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
What was stupid to me was I'll get my car
washed about every month. And mostly, more than the outside,
it's about the detailing inside. And they left a bag of, like,
trash in the back. And I just threw the bag away.
Except it wasn't a bag of trash. It was all
the stuff that was in the car that was, like,
a hat. Like, anything. No watch or anything like that.
(20:22):
But anything that they find and they don't know what
to do with, they just put it in a bag.
And I threw it away thinking it was trash. And
then there was nothing in there.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I know.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I know.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I'm so stupid. I know.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
So.
I wasn't calling you stupid.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It was stupid.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
No, it was stupid because I didn't look in it.
I just assumed it was a bag of trash. I
don't know. But it was a cut-out shirt that I
had cleaned. I keep an extra set of clothes in
my car.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Just in case?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It was some pickleballs, just stupid stuff. But I threw
it all away like an idiot. I'm trying to send
Arkansas Keith a picture of Billy because he just texted me.
He's like, send me another picture of Billy. How about...
This one.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Boom.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Boom.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Got it. Let's see.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Good.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm glad they found your ring.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yes, me too.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, last night, Monday Night Football, my Chicago Bears were
playing and I didn't have much hope because we were
on our third string quarterback. Sat down in front of
the TV. It's like, all right, we're going to get
blown out by halftime, and I'll go to bed early.
And I sat down, and they came out, and the
third-string quarterback lit up the Philadelphia Eagles, and they whooped that.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Butt.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Is he the third-string quarterback?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Wow, I didn't realize that.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, because Badgen also had to go into protocol.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, for concussion at the end of last week's game.
And he got clear, and they were like, no, we're
sticking with the third stringer. He hadn't taken a snap
in the NFL in three years.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
And he came out chunking the ball.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
That's what I'm saying. It was awesome. So it felt
really good. Like, I thought they were going to get whooped.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Did you stay up for the whole, whole, whole game?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bears scored another touchdown,
and I was like, it's over.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
Those games are so late.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Imagine if you lived East Coast. I think about that sometimes.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh, terrible.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, it was like 945 when they scored another touchdown,
and I was like, good night.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
For all of our listeners, Eastern Time's on. God bless you.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
They have to deal with it every day.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I don't know how they watch sports.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
I know. Eddie?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
So yesterday my son had a baseball practice, and I said,
you know what? Why don't we all go? So I
took all the kids, and it's pretty cool. One kid
has the practice, but the other two hang out with
the other siblings, and they play kickball in some of
the other baseball fields. And it was just me and
my wife. I'm like, why don't we just go walk
around and just walk around the whole park and just
(22:43):
catch up? And we did. We walked. We talked. We talked.
It was very nice to just hang out, her and I,
and it was really, like, I had this moment of, like,
maybe it's the weather, maybe it's the time of year
or what, but I looked around, like, I can't believe
that we live in this part of the country, and
it's so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, it's the weather, dude. It's literally been so hot
that finally we start to find, oh, wow, life is
actually somewhat enjoyable because it's not miserable outside.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Like, I remember growing up in South Texas and seeing
mesquite trees, and, like, that's it. Like, there was no, like,
pretty big trees outside. Nothing pretty to look at. It
was very dusty and hot. And then I'm walking around
this park thinking like, gosh, I can't believe we live
in one of the most beautiful parts of our country.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, like Hawaii. You're right. Hawaii would be way cooler.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
There's like six or seven really cool regions depending on.
Everybody calls their own part of the country God's country.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Do they?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Regardless of where you live. You have something about your
area that you're like, this is God's country.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Oh, like the Texas Hill country?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, everybody's got a version.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I feel like that when I go to the mountains
and I look at the big, big mountains and just like, dang.
God's country. God's country. Because they're so big and we're
so small.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
So was your youngest kid the one with practice? Yeah.
That makes sense because the other three are old enough
to go off and play.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Where you wouldn't really be able to allow the youngest
to run off without supervision, right?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
He could, but nah, ask him for trouble if I
did that. All right, good.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I'm glad you.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
It was fun. It was a fun night.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
I'm glad you like where you live.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Man, it's crazy. Compared to where I grew up, this
place is magical.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Do you like where you live?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Love it.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Let's say, I'm going to throw it out there again,
this job went away tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Oh, I'd move. Oh, you would? Oh, for sure. Well,
the only thing keeping me here would be the kids
and their relationships and their schools.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
They can find new friends.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I think they can find new friends. Would you move, though?
In Florida, yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
You'd move to Florida? Not even back home?
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Oh, no, no.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I'd move to Florida, buy the beach. I'd get my boat.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Well, where's the money coming from?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
The smaller house that I'm going to get. I'm going
to sell my house here.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
With four kids, you're going to buy a smaller house
in Florida?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, we'll make it work.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Just so you can live and have a boat?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yes, and be by the beach.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's what you would really do.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Imagine our walks that I just described by the beach.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Really?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
That you would go to Florida right now.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
In a heartbeat.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And you'd buy a smaller house just so you could
have a boat with four kids right now.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
And live by the beach.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
What would you do?
Speaker 4 (25:03):
I mean, I probably, if I could... This is fantasy.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
No, we're not doing fantasy. We're doing real.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Okay. But this could be real, but I mean, there'd
be some things to work out. Like, I don't know
if I would stay. Like I would maybe.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Go to Colorado.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
The property right next to my sister is for sale.
So I'd move there. My son could finish high school there.
His dad could come visit. He visits there anyway. His
family has a place there. Um, Because, shoot, he might move.
Then he might be like, okay, I'll move to North Carolina.
Because that's where his business is. So that's probably what
(25:42):
I would do. And then my sister and I could
work on projects together. I could work at the coffee shop.
Day trade.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Don't do that.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Day trade? You're a stockbroker.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Don't do that.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
No, my friend is... My friend day trades, and she's
actually really good at it.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
She's like, I'll teach you.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
And then.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Yeah, that's probably, yeah, that would make me really happy
to be near my sister because, I mean, staying here.
But then Pagosa Springs, Colorado is a tiny town. Now,
I do have the benefit of a lot of tourists.
I mean, that place in the summer and the winter
is busy, but how am I going to meet somebody?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Worry about that a second.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
What do you mean, like a? A man?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
I've seen many Hallmark movies where small towns, somebody just
happens to show up.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Around Christmas time.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
They just spawn right there in those small towns in
Colorado where there's snow.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Or their car gets stuck. And I do have the
perfect backdrop of the coffee shop on the river. So
I feel like that'll give me opportunity.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Is this surrounded by mountains? That's how I'm picturing it.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Yeah, my sister lives on the river. Okay, everybody.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
What would you do?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
We'd probably stay here. Just because Caitlin would want to
stay here.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Really? Y'all wouldn't go back? Where? By the family? Arkansas?
You have a nice house right by the stadium?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
She does not want to live in Arkansas, really. And
she doesn't want to live in Oklahoma. So this is
a good location. She likes Nashville a lot. It took
her a while because she came and had no friend system.
But I think, and I don't care. Also, if I
told you I have a small business I got a
bunch of money in, I was going to leave that.
I really don't care. I could easily go and live
(27:16):
in Austin again. I'd probably pick going to Fayetteville and
live there. I know that that wouldn't be her cup
of tea. And I go, okay, we'll go to Oklahoma.
And I don't think she'd want to do that either.
Because I could go to Tulsa pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
That'd be cool.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I really don't care where we live.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Really?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, not really.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Oh, as long as you're with the people you love.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, and I can do anything. That's nice. Anywhere.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
From anywhere. So then let's go to Florida, dude.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
I don't need the beach. The only thing is I
don't want to live somewhere cold.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
And Florida's not cold. You're right.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Let's get a boat, dude.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Let's do it.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
All right, there you go. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
A pair of lifelong friends in their 70s recently spent
nine days walking about 90 miles across western Washington with
one simple mission. Be kind, do good. Their names are
Jim Hall and Bob Bruce, and they traveled from Shoreline
to the state capital in Olympia in handing out free
t-shirts and homemade cookies to people they met along the way.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Who would eat a homemade cookie from somebody walking down
the street?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
No one.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I'm having trouble with that. I like the idea.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
They gave away thousands of cookies, so thousands of people
took these things.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Maybe they took them and didn't eat them.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I just think if someone's walking down the street, I'm
not even taking the cookie, by the way, but I
like what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
There is no fundraising, no sales pitch, no other agenda
behind the trip besides spreading a little kindness.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yes. I love it.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Did you say they walked?
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Geez, is there 90?
Speaker 4 (28:48):
They walked, no, they're in their 70s and they walked
90 miles.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
I know, but 70s is still good, though. 70s is legit.
I might take a cookie. The older you are, I'm
more prone to eat a cookie. If you're 30, I
ain't eating it. If you're 60, I'm probably thinking about it. 70, okay,
let me see what kind it is. 80, I'm for
sure eating the cookie.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
They stopped at churches, a synagogue, homeless encampments, so they
probably were like, yeah, T-shirts. They were passing out T-shirts
and cookies.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
What's her name?
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Construction workers. Jim and Bob.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Jim and Bob. Classic names for 70-year-olds. All right. That's
what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
It's time for the good news.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
With Lunchbox.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Tell me something good.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
NeighborWorks Green Bay is an organization that holds this Neighbor Week,
where one week a year they go out and they
do things in the community. help with repairs of the houses,
the yards, and they did 23 different home improvement projects
this past week.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
So do people just submit what they need?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeah, they submit like, oh, maybe I'm down on money
or I'm disabled. Or if a neighbor sees a house
in disrepair, they go and nominate them and say, hey.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Is that a word, disrepair? I never heard it.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I knew what he meant, but I don't know if
that's a word.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Disrepair.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
No, it's similar. Is it that word or is it similar?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
No, I don't know. I just think it's an interesting
word to use if it's a real word. Disrepair. Disrepair.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Yeah, I think it sounds right.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I never heard it before. Is that on your sheet
of paper? Is that what you're using?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
No, that's just my vocab.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Eddie, can you look at his paper and see if
it says disrepair?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Sure, of course.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
He nailed that.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
You're having Eddie who can't read.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I know what words look like, Lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
But I'm just telling you, and it's no cost to
the homeowners. It's absolutely free.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
No, the story's great, and I like disrepair. I'm going
to use that. That's a real word.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Disrepair? It doesn't look like it's in the story.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
It's a real word, though.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, that's just from my dome. Give the guy credit.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
You just pulled that from the dome?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Good job, dude.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
That's my English classes paying off.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
There's another tell me something good. Lunchbox, use disrepair. Now
we can all use that. Disrepair, the state of being damaged, broken,
or in poor working order. Wow.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Lunchbox is in disrepair.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
No, I am not in disrepair.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
All right, there you go. That's what it's all about.
That was tell me something good.
