Tell Me Something Good Host
It's time for the good news.
Tell Me Something Good Intro
Tell me something good
Father
around the room. Amy, what's up?
Amy
So my Tell me something good is Last night at my son's track meet, my ex husband and I had to do a call. A different call. Something to do with our daughter. And my phone was kind of dying. So at first I pictured us both on our separate phones, walking around, like the parking lot of the school we were at or something. But then, because I had low battery and I wanted to be able to film my son, he's like, why don't we go back over there? I'll just put on speaker and we'll sit and have the call together.
Geico Gecko
And.
Amy
And we were just over there, like, huddled up around his phone. Cause it was also really loud, so he's holding it up. And it just was a cool moment that I am celebrating in our relationship and how we co parent and how we get along and how we can show up. And it's just a reminder. I know that the last few years we have had a wonderful relationship, but there's just a time where I sat there and thought, this could have gone a totally different way. And there we are, huddled up by our phone, doing the call for like 30 minutes.
Father
Probably not something you would have been happening had you asked yourself four years ago.
Amy
Yeah, four or five. Yeah, four or five years ago. Definitely not. And yeah, it's just. That just felt good to me.
Father
So that's good. Amy posted a picture of her and her son, Stevenson. They were at the race. And it was like a selfie of those two. And I said, looks 20. And she goes, thank you. I said, no, Stevenson.
Amy
Yeah, I knew what you meant by it.
Father
And I knew what you meant. I still thought it was funny. So round the room, Eddie.
Eddie
Yes. So about, I don't know, two weeks ago, I got suckered into this thing on Instagram. It was like a meat slicer, vegetable slicer, slash french fry. Like, maker. And so I bought it. It was like 45 bucks. Bought it. It came in like two days ago, and my mom's in town, so I was like, let's make burgers and fries. Let's use this thing. This thing is the coolest thing I've ever had. It's like in n out burger. I'm getting real potatoes and like shoving it down and it makes a bunch of french fries. I fried them on the stovetop. Dude, they were the best fries I've ever made. It was so cool.
Bobby
Because of the slicer.
Eddie
Well, the slicer just made it easy. Like, I've done it before, but it's like slice, slice, slice, every single potato. And the fact that, like, I don't know, I was just going out on a whim. See, like, maybe this thing is good. Maybe it works a lot of the Instagram stuff. You never know how it's going to come in.
Amy
Okay, question for you. With your salsa, do you blend it in a food processor or a blender? Or how do you.
Father
Or do you just guess?
Amy
Or do you dice you're going to
Eddie
make fun of me?
Amy
No, tell me.
Eddie
But you know that, that blender I use for my smoothies, it's the best salsa blender ever.
Amy
Okay. So that's.
Eddie
That's what I use.
Amy
Okay. Because I saw when I was thinking of, like, I get. I would have just gotten it for you because it was a really good deal, but it was like you put an onion or a tomato in there and you slice it down just like that and it puts it into teeny tiny cubes just like that.
Eddie
Perfect.
Redfin Announcer
That's the same thing.
Amy
I know, but would you like that? Cuz if you're putting it in the blender, do you.
Eddie
I mean, yeah, but it's all got to fit in the little blender so it works.
Amy
Okay, so that would be something you would like.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby
Why was your salsa so hot last time?
Eddie
Because I did a big batch and I. I'm stupid. I thought that basically, if we're not, say, a single serving takes.
Father
Let him talk.
Amy
Well, he's not stupid.
Bobby
No, no, no, let's let him talk.
Father
Yeah, yeah, let's talk.
Eddie
So say a single serving takes like one pepper. Right? Like one serrano pepper. Well, I thought if I'm making five batches, I do five peppers, and that just made it so hot.
Father
Is that stupid?
Amy
Well, I don't know. I'm confused. In one batch, you would use how much?
Eddie
One pepper.
Amy
So why wouldn't you use five peppers for five batches?
Eddie
And it makes sense, right? Like you would think, like, oh, yeah,
Amy
that's what I would do.
Eddie
It just makes sense. Like you do times five. The recipe.
Amy
Yes.
Eddie
No, not the case with. With the peppers. It makes it. Cause it's still one big batch. So you've added five peppers to just a little bigger batch.
Amy
But also, did you double the tomatoes? Double. Huh. Interesting. I guess it's like compounding.
Eddie
I'm sure it's chemistry.
Father
Did you know that in an oven, if it says an hour at 220, don't do it 30 minutes at 110.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
It's kind of the same price.
Father
I know. That's what it reminds me of, saying that.
Amy
Okay. Yeah. Because it makes sense.
Father
Like, everything about it makes sense.
Bobby
Yeah.
Amy
Compounds. Yeah.
Eddie
I just think that like five peppers versus I probably should have done three for like a Batch of five. Five servings?
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Instead of doing five peppers for five servings.
Amy
Speaking of, when are you making some of that salsa? It's been a minute.
Eddie
I made some over Easter for my in laws. They loved it.
Amy
Cool. We mean for here.
Bobby
Oh, well, I feel like you need
Father
a redo on us because it was so hot.
Eddie
More mild. You want it more mild?
Father
Yeah. I mean, we had a worse day after eating yours. It was so hot it hurt us. Almost like you're the hospital.
Eddie
You talking about, like, the back end?
Father
The peppers? No, no, not the back end.
Eddie
I don't eat that.
Father
Match. Burn my mouth.
Eddie
Okay. Redo.
Bobby
Yeah.
Father
Make some more.
Eddie
Okay, you got it.
Father
And mail it to that guy in North Carolina.
Eddie
Oh, it's tough, man. Like, I really don't. I'm worried. And he did say he won't sue me, which I like that, but I'm just worried about shipping food. I don't want to get the guy sick.
Redfin Announcer
I was reading about food gets shipped every day.
Eddie
I know, but I was reading about homemade salsa. And in like two days in the refrigerator, three days, sometimes it starts making this bacteria that, like, could hurt you.
Father
You know, put it in dry ice like anything else that smelled to me, and do it overnight.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Hey, that's expensive. That's expensive.
Amy
Look at it as your gift to somebody that's asked for it. Just be like, this is a one time thing. You're not doing it all the time. Just be like, I want to do this. It's easier than a kidney.
Eddie
I still have his address. I mean.
Father
Yeah, it's a great point. That should be Eddie's slogan for he does know.
Amy
Easier than an organ.
Father
Yeah. Morgan, tell me some good.
Morgan
Yeah, so, you know, when you're on social media all the time, you kind of start to see a lot of the bad and all the people who have a lot of negative things to say about whatever. Well, I got to see a good side. Talking about having vertigo, long Covid, and like, my dog having Addison's. Like, through this show, I. I've had 10 different people reach out at, like, one about one of those, saying it either helped them get diagnosed or it helped them figure out stuff with their animal or, like, different things. And it was just a really, like, good reminder to me that there is good that we're doing. You know what I mean? Like, because sometimes you get stuck in all the negative stuff. And that was, like, made me feel good that it matters.
Father
I find the people that know the most on social media actually are the dumbest. Like, People that are definite and they have the answer and what you're doing is wrong are the dumbest people. Because there really is no definite to most of the issues we're talking about or dealing with. If it comes to parenting or illnesses or life decisions, there really isn't a single way to do it. And every way to do it is based on the person, the environment and the circumstance. So the people that often are, this is the way to do it. You're wrong. I feel they don't know, we've talked about this before, how stupid they actually are. Because they only know this is the right way because it's only worked for them. So it must be the only right way.
Amy
True.
Father
And there's nuance in everything. So that's why I only do Tuesdays.
Amy
Torture Tuesday.
Father
Yeah, that's it. I only go on Tuesdays and if I'm hungry or something, I don't even go on Tuesdays.
Amy
I know. Morgan started off her tell me something good. She's like, I feel like because I'm. When you're on social media a lot, you come across the bad. I'm like, you don't have to be on a lot. Like you could get to your point, almost like you could be on for five seconds and like see the negative. But it's cool that she saw through community that there's other people in similar situations. And that's when social media can be for good. When you find like minded people that can offer support and encouragement and advice in that space. Specific space.
Father
I look for the filter that you can push for no dicks.
Amy
What?
Father
It's not on there?
Bobby
No.
Amy
Oh, like as in human.
Eddie
I need that.
Father
Yeah, that's the filter I want and like it.
Eddie
Yes, Amy, the humans.
Father
Yeah, the people. I've already got the no penis filter on. That means I don't search anything where there's no penises.
Amy
Got it, got it.
Father
But you would think if you could down vote enough people's comments that they would show up even lesser for other people. Like just not on your own. There are some people that post on my Instagram that I will go, I won't block because I don't want them having the satisfaction of me blocking them. But I will mute them or I will hide them to where nobody sees anything they've written on my profile in the comments. And so they continue writing away and I'll see it there. It's this comment hidden. And I'll get a little laugh because they think they wrote something that matters and there's Reason it's getting no engagement because no one sees it.
Amy
How do they choose what to hide? Because sometimes I go into the hidden. No, no, no. Like, even on mine, it'll be like, hidden, hidden comments.
Father
And I can run specific words they're
Amy
using, but sometimes I'm like, that's not a bad comment. Unhide.
Solaray Announcer
Yeah.
Amy
Or maybe that person.
Father
I'll do that too, though, sometimes, yeah,
Amy
that that person has been flagged for something, so they just. They're in, like, comment jail. But there was a comment under my. My credit card post how I lost my credit card, and some woman was like, is Amy a child? So then I watched the clip through that lens and yeah, I did sound a little childish.
Eddie
She was right.
Amy
So I was like, not a way to comment. So I replied to her and I said, I'm 45. Exclamation point.
T-Mobile Announcer
Got her.
Amy
Well, I just was acknowledging, like, hey, I see you. And also, I'm 45. And yeah, someone scammed me for a minute, but I caught it.
Father
Yeah, let's take a look in your life to that person.
Eddie
I always feel bad, though, whenever, like, we respond to those people and don't respond to the nice ones. Like, why are the bad people getting all the attention?
Amy
Well, cause that's the comment I happen to see. And I just quickly. I didn't try to, like, engage. I didn't go after her in a mean way. I just clarified if she was quite curious. If I was a child, I'd let her know.
Eddie
You're not.
Amy
I was 45.
Father
That doesn't happen on mine. If I do ever respond to a bad comment, I respond to four or five good ones.
Eddie
Okay, good.
Amy
Oh, good, good, good.
Father
I don't go searching for good ones to respond to because unless it's Tuesday, I'm pretty much not in there. But if I do see a bad one that triggers a response, I will go find four or five that are not bad. So it doesn't look like I was just out hunting for bad.
Eddie
That's good.
Amy
Yeah, that's true. And then. And I wasn't hunting. It was just the top comment.
Eddie
It's just like, you see?
Amy
Does that mean people liked it the most?
Father
Wouldn't that be a nice addition to social media if they developed a, you know, this person's a monster in everybody's comments, so they don't get seen as much? Yes.
Eddie
Yeah, awesome.
Amy
But unfortunately, I think they want that engagement. Engagement. I saw this husband. I even posted in my stories the other day, like, is this guy for real or is this just for Instagram, because he is a stay at home dad, I guess, and his wife does social media or they earn money that way as a couple, probably through this type of content where he was making her every single meal. And so I asked, you know, is this real? Because if other people follow them, because it was in my for you page, I don't follow them. And most people commented, no. Like this is legit. That's how they really are. He's really sweet. Like he woke up, he made her a cappuccino, he made her breakfast, he made her lunch, he made her dinner. And I was like, where do you find this man? Where, where, where can we get one of these?
Father
I have a couple theories.
Amy
He seemed so attentive to her every need and. Yeah, which theory?
Father
Theory number one, she's way hotter than he is. Don't know if that's true.
Amy
I feel like they are equally pretty people.
Father
I've not seen it, so I don't know. Theory number two, they did this as a bit once and it got so much engagement and got so many followers that yes, he continues to do it and it is real, but they're doing it so he can document it every day. And if he literally doesn't do it, they can't document it.
Amy
True.
Eddie
I like that one. It's a good theory.
Father
My first one though, without seeing him.
Eddie
He's way hot.
Father
She's way hotter.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
But I feel like he's cute and she's pretty. He's good looking. She's pretty, but they're younger.
Father
I would go with the second one. He. He actually probably does it every day because if he doesn't, they can't record it.
Amy
True.
Father
And if it's a thing that gets recorded, posted, gets a lot of engagement followers, then they have to keep doing it. I like, I can't go on fake walks and push the carriage unless we actually go on walks, whatever it's called.
Bobby
I don't know.
Father
I'm still learning here, new dad. Give me a break. And so we haven't been walking the last few days and I've never doubled up and shot like multiple at the same time. So for me to actually make those videos, we have to go on walks, Right. And those do get a ton of engagement.
Eddie
And if anyone asks, I'd be like, no, he really does those walks.
Father
It does. He really does.
Amy
What if we just saw him like out on the same strip of street? Like, you don't even go past that change of clothes five seconds. Okay.
Father
Oh, that would be I'm not better than that. But I've not done that.
Amy
But your wife is.
Father
Yeah, but I wouldn't need her to do that.
Amy
She would know. If you came in with five walking
Father
videos, she would know. But I wouldn't need her to shoot them. That.
Amy
That's true.
Father
You could ask Mike. Hey, Mike.
Bobby
Because it's close to our house.
Father
Hey, Mike, would you roll over here
Bobby
for a minute and record me five
Father
times walking back and forth? I haven't, but I have to actually do that walk to get it recorded again. I have there. I don't know anything about this couple, so I could be totally wrong, but if you're going bet some money on it, it's probably that one. Then it worked.
Amy
It works.
Father
And he really does do it.
Amy
So, like, why not record it?
Father
No, no, no. He really does do it. And it worked. So he does do it. So they can record it. It's not so why not record it? Because I think possibly he wouldn't do it if it wasn't being recorded every single day.
Eddie
And maybe it started to where he was authentic.
Amy
Or if it got terrible a couple times. Yeah, if it got terrible. Engagement. He'd be like, make your own breakfast sucks.
Father
Cook your own egg.
Bobby

That's redfin.com I have a little segment I do on my YouTube and it's called Father knows less. And in the first episode, I was talking about celebrity baby gifts. Just people who had sent us baby gifts that are celebrities. And I had mentioned Tim McGraw, and they sent us something. The McGraw family sent us something really nice. And I didn't say what it was. That's okay.
Amy
I don't know. A little baby cowgirl hat.
Father
No, but something would have been awesome. Something French and expensive.
Amy
French?
Father
Yeah. You can ask Caitlyn, because she was. I didn't know what it was. And she was like, oh, I was looking at this, but I wasn't going to pay that for it. And so it was very nice of them. There are other celebrities I've mentioned. There were a few I haven't. And I got a note yesterday that another one's on the way, which I don't know what it is.
Amy
Okay.
Father
But I. Ashley McBride had sent over some onesies, and I maybe mentioned this, but they have tattoo sleeves.
Amy
Yeah.
Inner Balance Announcer
That's cute.
Eddie
So perfect.
Bobby
Yeah.
Amy
And funny.
Father
Tenille Townes sent over a bunch of really great stuff. She's one of my favorite artists. Has a new record out today. And then I got a note from Carrie going, hey, we're sending you something for your baby. And I don't know what. Carrie Underwood. I don't know what it is, really, but that's cool. I know. That's like, the richer they are, the more excited you get.
Amy
What's it gonna be?
Eddie
I know. Like, I know you've been doing this for a little bit, but, I mean, isn't it still crazy that, like, the McGraw sent you a baby gift? Like, that is crazy. Like, the McGraws don't just send people gifts.
Father
No.
Eddie
You don't think about that.
Father
No, I don't. I mean, when you. No, not that. I mean, I know Tim a little bit more than just this stuff. The. What was it? I know. I mean, we got married. Keith Urban. Keith and Nicole sent us some really expensive sheets.
Eddie
It's crazy.
Amy
Like, how'd they know what size your bed was?
Eddie
I would assume that's private.
Father
That's private.
Eddie
Hilarious. Funny.
Father
Hey, what we do.
Eddie
They know, Amy.
Amy
I'm sure they found out.
Father
It's nice when anyone sends anything.
Eddie
I know, but it's gotta be.
Father
I think the exciting thing is when rich people send stuff, because you're wondering, I wonder what it's going to be.
Bobby
I wonder what rich people send.
Father
That's always the thing.
Bobby
Like, what are rich people?
Father
Say we had someone send us a cashmere baby sweater.
Amy
Hopefully one that the baby can grow with.
Father
That's what's crazy to me because, like,
Amy
that's so expensive for something they grow out of.
Father
It's three months and.
Amy
Oh, wow.
Father
No, not for three months. They're gonna get to.
Bobby
The baby will wear it for three
Father
months and it'll grow out of it.
Amy
Wow.
Eddie
And then, like, if it throws up on it, you're like, ah, there goes.
Father
Here's the thing. Baby's still up on everything. Everything. And throw up a spit up. I've now learned it's not really actual vomit. But, yeah, that's what's up. I got a notes and curious to get some on the way. So hopefully it's like, you know, it's like a little baby castle. But you open it, it's all cash inside of it.
Amy
That's definitely not what she's saying.
Eddie
Cause they're rich. Why not?
Amy
Yeah, but that's. So a pony shows up. Now that would be awesome.
Bobby
Or a cow.
Father
Then I just saved you guys a bunch of money, so you get to eat it. Ooh. Have all the meat.

Amy
Like, build a bear you can.
Bobby
I've been out of the bear game for a long time, guys.
Amy
Ooh. Well, now that you have a kid, you can go and make a bear and. And put your voice in it. Like, I've done it for my kids. So anytime they press it, they're in trouble. We say a message.
Father
Go to your room. You drive too fast.
Amy
No, we say more things like, love you. Sleep tight.
Father
Got it.
Bobby
Got it.
Amy
So, anyway, shout out to Ruth for having this idea. She's currently even training an apprentice to take over if anything happens to her. But she has no plans to retire from this job scene.
Father
Making money off that.
Amy
No, this is a. This is what she does with her retirement. It's like her gift back to people.
Bobby
No, I like that. But she has an apprentice.
Father
Does the apprentice think they're.
Amy
She's training an apprentice?
Bobby
Yeah.
Amy
I don't think that this is a cost, but maybe. I mean, I think this is, like, her gift back.
Bobby
I'm, like, apprenticing for someone. Like, by the way, you ain't getting paid. I'm not apprenticing there anymore.
Amy
Well, they know. They want to take over the volunteer work.
Bobby
I'm making a little joke.
Amy
It's a mission.
Bobby
Little jokey jokester.
Father
That's what I do.
Bobby
Do a little joke.
Father
That's a.
Bobby
That's a great story. Good for her. Making a lot of kids happy. That's what it's all about.
Tell Me Something Good Host
That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Bobby.
Tell Me Something Good Intro
Tell me something.
Bobby
I'm a big animal guy. Love dogs.
Father
I want to tell you about this thing they're doing.
Bobby
See if you can guess what it means.
Amy
Tails on trails, Dogs taking walks to get adopted.
Father
Yep, pretty much.
Bobby
So these dogs are in kennels all the time at the shelter, and this guy named Joel is like, hey, we should let these dogs go out. But this is in Alaska. And so tails on trail started for these dogs to go out and take them on trail hikes in Alaska.
Amy
Oh, to get on the outdoor.
Bobby
Yeah.
Amy
Fresh air.
Eddie
That's cool.
Bobby
Not just that, but like, in Alaska.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
Sometimes Sometimes people aren't even from Alaska
Father
and they go do it and they're
Bobby
like, yeah, you can take the dog with you. The volunteers say that it's awesome because the dogs get out and do this and. Yeah. Can you imagine being a cage all day and you finally get to go out on a trail?
Eddie
Kind of sounds like freedom.
Bobby
That's like jail though, too.
Eddie
You get to go in the yard. Basketball.
Bobby
The program has led to so many other dogs being adopted. So I also like the name Tails on Trails, but that's really cool. At the Anchorage Animal Care and Control Center. Keep on doing the good stuff. That's from Good, good, good. And that is what it's all about.
Tell Me Something Good Host
That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Amy.
Tell Me Something Good Intro
Tell me something good.
Amy
Do you know how rare it is to donate two of your organs to people?
Bobby
Well, Eddie's done none and he's claimed a lot, so it probably brings the average way down.
Amy
I'm going to tell you. Donating twice is extremely rare with only about 100 such cases recorded since 1981.
Bobby
Can I guess the organs? Because I would think part the liver. Because it's not the whole liver.
Amy
Correct. Ding, ding, ding.
Bobby
And then I would think the kidney, because Eddie always screams kidney.
Amy
Ding, ding, ding.
Eddie
Because you have two.
Amy
Yeah. So there's this guy, Phil Cossiglio. He's a pediatric nurse from Michigan, and he is one of these rare type of donors. He donated one of his kidneys to someone he had bonded with a patient once. That patient ended up passing away. But part of the deal that he made with him is like, you know what? And like, your honor, I'm gonna donate a kidney to somebody in need. So he did it after the patient passed away. Then there was this two year old little girl that needed a liver transplant. So he donated part of his liver to her years after he already had donated his kidney.
Bobby
How could you beat that? How could you do three? What's the other one you could do?
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Let's see another part of your liver.
Father
Yeah.
Eddie
People don't people donate, like skin. Oh, hair. You can donate hair.
Bobby
Not an organ.
Eddie
It's not an organ.
Bobby
I don't think anything else you could donate. I feel like I'd be competitive and want to do three.
Eddie
Yeah.
Father
To break the record, if I was
Eddie
be the only one, could you question,
Bobby
if you donate part of your liver, which people do, could you let it grow back and then donate the part that grew back again?
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
I don't know, like over and over.
Amy
I Would maybe just. I would cut from the other side. Like I would let the new.
Bobby
You would cut from the other side?
Amy
Well, I would say like the new part of my liver that's grown back. Let's let that be a little bit longer and take a cut from the other end.
Bobby
A lung. A single lobe can be donated from a lung. I gotta be honest, I don't know what a lobe is.
Eddie
We have lobes in our lungs.
Bobby
It says from a lung, a single lobe can be donated. The only lobe I know of, the old earlobe up in the ear. So what is a lobe on a long mic? I really know what it's pointed to. Yeah, pointing to the whole thing, man.
Eddie
A lung seems like something.
Bobby
Will you type in what's a lobe on a lung? I think just for trivia purposes, I
Amy
guess also based on this, if he's done the liver and kidney, then Bobby, there could be a third the lobe.
Bobby
Lung lobes are distinct anatomical and functional sections of the lungs. Three in the right upper lung and two in the left. They're separated by fissures, allowing each lobe to operate independently. I don't know. I never heard of a lobe in the lung. But this guy's awesome. Donating two different organs.
Amy
And I'm sorry, Phil, if I said your last name wrong. Consiglio.
Bobby
He seems like a nice guy and he's probably not gonna let that bother him. Okay, all right. That's what it's all about.
Tell Me Something Good Host
That was. Tell me something good.
