Transcript

[Amy]

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

[Liberty Mutual Spokesperson]

And, Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual, even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.

[Morgan]

Hey, everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this, your first date?

[Doug]

Oh, no.

[Liberty Mutual Spokesperson]

We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.

[Morgan]

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.

[Liberty Mutual Spokesperson]

Anyways, only pay for what you [e-mail] Liberty.

[Morgan]

Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

[Doug]

It's time for the good news. Tell me something good, Amy.

[Amy]

I finally got my ring in the mail, my aura ring that I ordered, and that was my tell me something good a while ago that I ordered it, and I originally ordered gold, and it came in, and I just really didn't like the look, so I swapped it out for the silver. And who knew this was way cheaper. Go for the.

[Doug]

Was the other made of real gold?

[Amy]

No, but I was shocked at the price. And I mean, don't get me wrong, the O rings are still an investment, and that's why it took me so long to get it. But this was my birthday present to myself. And when I did the swap, when I returned it online, I got a big credit back, and I was like, what is this for? Turns out the silver is way less than the gold. And to your point, I have no idea why, because it's basically the same material. It's not like it's real silver or real gold.

[Doug]

And same technology.

[Amy]

Exact same technology. But I'm telling you, $150 che. And I saw. I. What happened was I got the gold and I wasn't wearing it yet, and I wasn't sure about the. The color of the gold. It looked really, like yellowy to me. And then I ran into a girl, a stranger. I did not know her. And I said, excuse me, is that the Oura ring in silver? And she said, yes. And I said, how do you like that? And she's like, oh, it's great. I've heard the gold can scratch really easily as well. So then that sealed the deal for me, and I swapped it out. So I finally have it. And what I'm most excited about is tracking my sleep.

[Doug]

That feels like when someone is eating a meal and someone comes over and goes, is that chicken good?

[Zach]

Yes.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Doug]

It feels a little invasive, but you get it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Doug]

Yeah, because they also, you know, they deserve to know if the chicken they're about to order is good.

[Amy]

Yeah. It's an investment. I want to know.

[Doug]

Gold prices, by the way, have experienced a downward trend over the past month. There's been a sharp drop even in the last 24 hours.

[Amy]

I checked out the gold in my freezer this morning.

[Doug]

What do you mean you just looked at it?

[Amy]

Well, every time I go in there to get ice, I see my gold.

[Doug]

There's been a decline of roughly 3% in the last day. Gold is down 13.24% compared to one month ago. This follows a historic peak. Now, why I'm saying this is possibly good news. Like, if you were going to get into gold right now, get it now. Because you don't want to jump in when it's at a high. If it's at historic highs, that's good for everybody that bought gold, you do not want to jump in for the most part, at a historic high. You want to jump in now.

[Amy]

Do you have what an ounce of gold is worth at this exact moment based on the decrease and to have you bought gold?

[Bobby]

Me? Yeah.

[Doug]

No. But I keep wanting to because we have a guy on the show, a gold guy who gave Amy her gold. Well, I guess you earned the gold. But she.

[Amy]

I did a project for him, and he paid me in a gold bar. Gold bar. Which. Don't think it's one of those big, huge bars. Those are so expensive. A gold bar is about, I don't know, like the size of a. I don't know. How do I describe this?

[Bobby]

Like a candy bar?

[Doug]

Which candy bar?

[Amy]

Like a. Like a domino. It's the size of a domino.

[Bobby]

Oh, wow. That's.

[Doug]

How much do you think it's worth? Because I'm. I looked up 1 oz gold bar, and it's given me a significant amount.

[Amy]

Is it around 4,000?

[Doug]

Yes.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah.

[Doug]

Wow.

[Bobby]

That's what you have.

[Doug]

This is worth. Oh, my God.

[Amy]

Yes. Guys, we've got.

[Doug]

No wonder. She's just throwing around the word aura ring like crazy for a 350 ring. Dang, that's nice.

[Amy]

Okay, well, it was more had I got the gold ring. But listen, it goes. It's fluctuated because it's gone.

[Doug]

Right now it's at $4,873.89.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Amy]

So that's about where it was when it was given to me. And then it went up, up, up. So then it was worth more, and now it's gone. So it's not like it's gone.

[Doug]

Dang. Big dog.

[Amy]

Way back down. Big dog.

[Doug]

Big dog eating over here. I didn't know that was Gonna be worth that much that. That domino of gold?

[Amy]

Yeah. It's tiny.

[Doug]

I want a Scrooge McDuck bar.

[Bobby]

A big bar.

[Amy]

Yeah, but those are hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[Doug]

But I asked.

[Unknown Guest]

They're 400 ounces, and it's between 1.9 to $2 million.

[Doug]

Okay.

[Amy]

Millions. Okay.

[Unknown Guest]

For a bar. For a bar. For like the Scrooge big duck one.

[Bobby]

And where would you keep that?

[Doug]

No, I wouldn't. No. I didn't know it was that much.

[Amy]

In a bank safe.

[Doug]

Yeah. No, I wouldn't. I don't even want that. I mean, I'd like to have it. Yes. But I'm not. What's. Like a bar like this. We've done this before three times. Like a bar like this big.

[Amy]

That's the one that's in the hundreds of thousands.

[Unknown Guest]

The kilogram.

[Doug]

Is that what.

[Unknown Guest]

Yeah, the one smaller than the 400 ounce one is a kilogram. 31.15 ounces. And that's between 85 to 150,000.

[Bobby]

Okay. Okay.

[Doug]

He doesn't have those in. I asked him.

[Bobby]

Oh, Kyle, the.

[Doug]

He could get them.

[Amy]

Can you get a bunch of the little nugget ones that I have?

[Bobby]

Well, you don't want a bunch of stacks.

[Doug]

I'll lose them.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly.

[Doug]

I can't even keep sunglasses or a wall. Watches. And without wondering if I'm losing them.

[Amy]

It's in a protective case.

[Bobby]

Oh, it is. Your. Your bar is.

[Amy]

Yeah. It's not just floating like. Like a. Like a quarter in my freezer. And I shall be transferring it soon. It's just. Freezer's where I keep a lot of things.

[Doug]

Let's see.

[Amy]

But I have an alarm.

[Bobby]

Yeah. And a watchdog.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Doug]

I just got offered Snooki for a bobby cast. What?

[Amy]

I was pausing for a second, waiting

[Bobby]

for somebody to react.

[Doug]

Well, no, it's. But she's only here on a weekend, Mike. We wanted to come up on a weekend for Snooki.

[Amy]

Mike's like, I'd rather not.

[Bobby]

Ooh, Saturday.

[Amy]

She has a huge volley.

[Doug]

I know, I know, I know, I know.

[Bobby]

Have you talked to her?

[Doug]

No, I've never. Just on the phone, lunchboxes.

[Amy]

Yelled at her in a kind way.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Doug]

I'm gonna say ask about Friday. I would do Snooki as a bobby cast. We have micro that same day. You know, Micro. Dirty jobs.

[Amy]

Yeah, dirty jobs.

[Bobby]

His name's Mike. Oh, what's his name?

[Doug]

Mike Rowe.

[Bobby]

Mike Rowe. Okay. I thought you said micro. Like Micro Machines.

[Doug]

Oh, yeah.

[Liberty Mutual Spokesperson]

Not Micro.

[Bobby]

He's got a nickname like that.

[Doug]

That's cool. Mike Rowe, who does dirty jobs. Yeah. All right. Thank you, Amy, for your telling me something good. Was that yours? Yeah. Your ring? Got it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Doug]

Eddie.

[Bobby]

So I was telling you guys, my mother in law's in town, my father in law's in town, and man, they've been so helpful. You know, they did the laundry. My father in law did the dishes last night. And then last night they said, why don't you guys go on a date tomorrow? Like we'll watch the kids. Cause they're off for good Friday. And so my wife and I, after we're done with this, we're gonna go on a date. A little lunch date. We're go out to eat. Yeah. And then maybe take her to a movie. I don't. Haven't really decided yet, but I'm don't

[Doug]

go home at all. And then we go. Then we drive to Texas and then that's fine.

[Bobby]

So I'm excited about that because we never have like date time like that because one of my boys is homeschooled now, so we never have time alone.

[Doug]

You trust them with all the kids?

[Bobby]

Yeah, yeah. They're. I'm both of them. I think one, they would probably take over. But both of them, I think they can stand. Stand their ground.

[Doug]

You mean both the grandparents? Yes, because there's more than two kids.

[Bobby]

Correct. But if it was just grandma with the four boys.

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Trouble.

[Doug]

Got it. Lunchbox. Tell me something good.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Thanks to Abby, I learned that I have a new Mac computer. And I thought I could only use my charger and I didn't have it. I've been bumming scubas when. But he's not here. You can plug an old charger into one of these ports and it'll charge the new computer. That's cool. So you don't have to buy a new charger when you get this new computer. So. Thank you, Abby. And you can use your phone charger.

[Doug]

Boop.

[Lunchbox]

Right in there.

[Doug]

I don't port thing. Because your phone charger. Yeah. You can use easily. It's all the same.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, this new one, the charger is fatter and wider and it is just a magnetic one on the side. And I thought that was the only thing that would charge this computer. And now Abby showed me that these little two holes on the side, you can plug your phone charger in there and charge your computer.

[Doug]

Okay. I think he's back a generation then. Because the new computers. Right. Don't have the magnetic.

[Bobby]

Correct.

[Amy]

Right. His computer was very old. So now he's excited that he can use the same charger for his phone that he can on his computer.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I know.

[Amy]

This is the new one.

[Lunchbox]

This is the new computer, guys. You guys are a generation behind. I am, right?

[Unknown Guest]

The new ones went to magnetic again.

[Doug]

They went back to where it was.

[Unknown Guest]

This one's magnetic again.

[Doug]

Why are they doing that?

[Unknown Guest]

Would you like to mess with this

[Doug]

so we can use the old charger?

[Unknown Guest]

Yeah,

[Lunchbox]

but I didn't know that. I thought it was only the magnetic. And I was at work, and I didn't have a charger, and Scuba's not here for me to bum his. And Abby's like, you know, you can just plug it in right there. And I was like, what?

[Doug]

So, boom, I learned they went back to the magnetic. I've known you could do the phone into the. Yes, but I didn't know they went back to magnetic. I haven't bought a laptop in forever. I use my phone 90% of the time now.

[Bobby]

You used to take your laptop everywhere.

[Doug]

I have mine with me today. I haven't even opened it. But, yeah, it's mostly my phone, but Lunchbox refuses to watch stuff on his phone.

[Lunchbox]

It's too small of a screen. I don't really understand how you guys do that.

[Doug]

And you have pretty good vision.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I just don't. I don't see. I mean, I guess on an airplane, I understand it. Like, I saw Morgan do it that one time. I was like, that's smart. But, like, when you're at your house, it makes no sense.

[Doug]

I sit at the bar and watch. At my house, I'm eating all the time. YouTube TV or. But it's like TikTok. Don't you watch, like, TikTok or Facebook or Instagram or whatever?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, very rarely, man. I very rarely look at it. Well, I just don't have time.

[Bobby]

Yeah, it makes sense.

[Doug]

You don't have time.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Doug]

You take a nap every day for, like, two hours, right?

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I'd rather nap than look at my phone.

[Doug]

Okay, got it. See? But you do have time. You're just choosing to nap for two hours?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Nap for two hours. Yes. I mean, that's more important to me.

[Bobby]

The bathroom, though.

[Lunchbox]

What about the bathroom?

[Bobby]

You don't do it. You don't look at your phone in the bathroom?

[Lunchbox]

No, you don't.

[Bobby]

That's weird.

[Doug]

What do you do?

[Bobby]

I read in there, like, magazines.

[Amy]

You guys, it's not healthy to have anything.

[Doug]

Don't preach to us about what's healthy. Don't preach to us about what's healthy.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead, Amy, tell us what's healthy.

[Amy]

Men in general. Y' all spend too much time in the bathroom and.

[Doug]

No, but if you're in there for five minutes, you have your phone.

[Amy]

Okay, five minutes. What's going on?

[Bobby]

That's average five minutes.

[Amy]

What do you mean, what's going on? Sometimes it's 10, sometimes it's 30. Okay, so now you're admitting it's 30?

[Doug]

No, occasionally. But I have bad gastrointestinal Intestinal issues.

[Amy]

Bobby gets a pass because of his sensitive geo. What is it? Gastrointestinal system. Men in general, I think that y' all were kind of taught. Oh, merman. We take the paper and we go in there and we sit down and we make it a whole thing. And like, y' all need to be the paper.

[Bobby]

Yeah, and I don't think anyone ever had that conversation with me. Listen, son, when you go to the Restroom, you take 30 minutes.

[Amy]

What were you used to when you were little? Not you, Bobby, but Eddie. Did you. In lunchbox, did you see your dad taking the newspaper into the bathroom?

[Bobby]

I remember going into their bathroom and seeing like, literature. So that was weird to me. Like, wow, there's like, stuff in here to read. That's crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I mean, my dad used to take the Sports Illustrated in there and that's where I learned that. Habit.

[Doug]

Okay, but then you really can't touch it. No one else can use it if it's in there with you. It's been exposed. It's bi.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby]

Yes, it has. To the elements.

[Doug]

Okay, Morgan, tell me something good.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I've gotten to go on two walks a day the last two days, which is really good for me. One, because I have not been moving a lot recently, and so I'm finally feeling good again to, like, be back in stride. The vertigo is lifting a bit.

[Doug]

You have your glasses on right now?

[Bobby]

No, no, it's off.

[Doug]

My screen's down. I can't tell. So no big red glasses today?

[Morgan]

No, I'm trying it out, seeing how I feel today. Trying to go a whole day without them and been walking to see how my balance is going. So I'm feeling good. I'm hoping that this was just a short episode.

[Doug]

Lunchbox. You have one?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, my charger on the computer.

[Doug]

Oh, I didn't know that was this. Oh, my God.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Doug]

All right.

[Bobby]

It's a good one.

[Doug]

My birthday was yesterday. And for birthday, below average. For normal day, above average. So better than an average normal day, below average birthday. But what was good about it? I had Amy's leftovers. That's what I had for dinner. Leftovers.

[Amy]

Really sweet.

[Doug]

Really? What?

[Bobby]

You didn't get another dinner? Like, you just left. You ate the breakfast.

[Doug]

It's not like we're gonna get breasted. We're not gonna go anywhere.

[Amy]

The baby.

[Doug]

The baby can go places, but we didn't. And Caitlin's mom's in town. And she was like, we can go somewhere or we can order. And I was like, eh, it's last minute. I'll just eat Amy's chicken fried steak. I guess I misspelled it chicken friend steak.

[Amy]

Yeah, you did.

[Doug]

Which is pretty good.

[Amy]

I didn't know if you did that on purpose.

[Doug]

I wouldn't do something corny like that,

[Bobby]

but I liked it. That is kind of cool. Chicken friend. I like it.

[Amy]

Well, he's like, eating Amy's leftover or day two of Amy's chicken friend steak. And I'm like, that's what's up?

[Bobby]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Amy]

And apparently it was just a typo.

[Doug]

It was really good. But I had to order cracker barrel sides because nothing goes with chicken fried steak like fried okra and corn and broccoli and sweet tea. So did that. I need to get you those pans back though, right?

[Amy]

Yeah, I'll grab them.

[Doug]

They're not ours to keep.

[Amy]

Yeah, they belong to the chef, but I'll. Don't worry about it. Yeah, I'll grab them and make sure they get them back.

[Doug]

I did have a good cake. My wife got me a really cool Arkansas razorback cake. We had about a quarter of it that looked legit. Yeah, it was good. It's on my Instagram if you want to see it. Brought the rest of it for Eddie the family.

[Bobby]

Oh, I'm probably not gonna eat it all, but the boys will.

[Amy]

We can have a bite. Can I have a bite?

[Bobby]

You can have some. Yes, Amy can have some.

[Doug]

It's in the fridge here, so I

[Amy]

just take a little bite. It looks so good.

[Doug]

It's really good.

[Amy]

Like, when I saw it, like, I

[Doug]

want a little more right now too.

[Bobby]

Well, let's get it out.

[Amy]

It would go great with my coffee.

[Doug]

Well, my wife was like, are you gonna just take it to everybody when you work? I said, no, because I don't want to mess with in my studio. Like, I don't want cake in my studio that I had to pay all my money for. So be careful.

[Amy]

Are we gonna talk about the donuts that got brought to you? You can, because that made a mess.

[Doug]

I heard. So, Steph, B team Steph, our listener for 15 years, she sent up donuts, and it's super nice of her. And out in the lobby, if we have our own small lobby that's different than the rest of the building's lobby, I guess the donuts were just there.

[Amy]

Yes. And you were like, morgan brought them out and she said, hey, Bobby. Said we could all Share these. So they were out on the table and one was dug into already, but there was no silver or anything. And then I see Ray walking down the hall licking his fingers. And I said, ray, did you just stick your finger into the donut? It had icing on top, so it was all over. And he was like, yeah, but I mean, to be fair, he ate the part that he touched, so it wasn't gross. But still he dug his hands in there. So then I thought, well, I'm gonna go get knives and forks and napkins. So I go get KN. Forks and napkins. And then we're all gathered around and everybody's cutting into it. And they were a little crumbly because I assume these were likely dairy free or vegan type donuts for you. They tasted delicious. They were just a little crumbly. And even the forks and the knives and everything is sitting right there. And some people are just still going in with their fingers. And I'm so perfected by some people. Who do you think? La la la la la, Lunchbox. And I don't know, it's almost like he was acting like the. And I mean, to be fair, I guess it is easier to grab it with your hands, but.

[Bobby]

Well, and to be fair, forks are hard to him.

[Doug]

He can't.

[Bobby]

For some reason, with his shoulder problem, he can't really.

[Doug]

You can use a fork.

[Amy]

So that's how we shared the dessert for your birthday yesterday. I could imagine if he put the

[Bobby]

cake out there, people would just share their hands.

[Doug]

It's also why I don't have food out here. Like, you know what, I'll be honest. In the building that IR pays for, that's a whole building, that's a big company, pay for that. And then Eddie's like, in my building, I don't want stuff out and getting dirty.

[Amy]

I'm sure Eddie would be like, let me go get milk from the fridge that belongs to somebody else so we can all have something to drink.

[Bobby]

Somebody added sriracha sauce to the refrigerator that looked kind of good. I saw that the other day.

[Doug]

You mean to the company's fridge and you want some of that?

[Bobby]

Yeah, it looks good.

[Amy]

Yeah. So I don't know. The donuts were good, so it was a good time. But yes, you probably do have a good idea of how we consume food.

[Doug]

The cake is good. Have at it.

[Bobby]

Is it dairy free?

[Doug]

Yes, but you don't know the difference. Instead of the dairy, she used cherry. It's awesome.

[Bobby]

Really?

[Doug]

Like, yeah, it's great. So did that. We Watched the Thunder game last night. At least the first half. They were up like 73 to 30 on the Lakers. Caitlin's mom and Caitlin's dad, they watch every Thunder game, and Caitlyn watches a good amount of them, and so they were playing that game. So I watched the first half of that before went to bed. But it was a pretty good day.

[Amy]

Good.

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Your first birthday as a dad.

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Get used to those.

[Amy]

Well, then it'll be his second and third and fourth.

[Bobby]

Yeah. They just become normal days. I think you said it before.

[Doug]

No, but last year was normal, too. There's no difference. Last year I did nothing either.

[Bobby]

You said it perfectly, though, where it's like, it's better than a normal day. But it was.

[Doug]

Yeah. Subpar birthday. Yes, but better than a normal day.

[Bobby]

That's perfect.

[Doug]

So. So I think that's probably my time with something good.

[Bobby]

All right, everybody in lunchbox. I think we'll have his.

[Doug]

The computer dude. He figured out the computer.

[Bobby]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Doug]

Although I did learn that the laptops now are back to the magnetic, which is the old. Why are they doing that? Why are they going back and forth, just growing with us.

[Amy]

Yes. They like to make us spend more money.

[Doug]

That's so stupid. That is so. But I think I already have a couple of those old chargers.

[Amy]

Well, I don't know that I do, because I was like, well, these are worthless now.

[Bobby]

Right. Threw them away.

[Doug]

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 with Bobby. Tell me something good. Fifth graders are writing letters to teenagers to encourage safe driving for prom, which I thought was pretty cool.

[Unknown Guest]

I know.

[Doug]

Your daughter's about to hit it up.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Doug]

Missouri elementary school students wrote handwritten letters to high school students ahead of prom to encourage safe driving and responsible choices.

[Bobby]

I like it.

[Amy]

Let's hope they listen.

[Doug]

I bet they listen to kids more than they listen to adults, for sure.

[Amy]

I mean, I think back to some of the kids, though, at my prom. And by kids, I mean also my group of friends.

[Doug]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And, yeah, there wasn't the most responsible decisions being made, but we tried to be as responsible as possible. Like, we had a bus, a party bus, and then we had a block of rooms at a hotel. What were our parents thinking?

[Bobby]

A block of rooms?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Amy]

Because everyone was there just all hanging out. I mean, we were.

[Doug]

I think I needed a fifth grader to write me a letter going, hey, man, relax. Live a little.

[Bobby]

That's what you needed.

[Doug]

Yeah. I think I needed the opposite. Like, you know, it's a party. Have fun. You don't have to drop her off right when it's over. Yeah, yeah. Different lives. Different lives. But one of the students, Ivan Meyer, wrote a nerd encourage, wrote a note encouraging teens not to drink and drive and to stay around responsible friends. And I like it. It's a good little program. The young kids riding to the teenagers. That's from kshb. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the Good News with Amy.

[Amy]

So Ashlyn Drew and her son Hudson were at McDonald's in Oklahoma. Hudson's only three years old. He looked over and saw an older man, elderly, eating by himself. So he looked at his mom. He's like, I'm. I'm gonna go over there and eat with him because he looks lonely. And she said that it made her so emotional. She was crying in the middle of McDonald's. She didn't expect to get that emotional. But to see her son have so much compassion and want to go over and sit with the old man that was eating by himself, it was just so sweet.

[Doug]

Hopefully she saw the work that she's been doing as a parent pay off in that kid. That also doesn't mean that if your kid doesn't have that, you've done a bad job. It just reminds me of Eddie saying he wishes his kids would do stuff like this.

[Bobby]

When we do these stories of like, oh, yeah, this kid did a lemonade stand and raised all this money for charity, my kids would never do that. They would raise the money and then go buy toys.

[Doug]

Well, this story, they have other good, selfless things about them.

[Bobby]

I know, but my mind just goes there.

[Doug]

I'm sorry, Amy.

[Amy]

What? This story has a little bonus part that's really fun. She posted online, which obviously got a lot of attention, and that part is really cool. But the family later learned that the man lives close by, and he had been friends with Hudson's late great grandfather.

[Bobby]

Oh, that's cool.

[Doug]

Oh, dang.

[Amy]

So that's cool.

[Doug]

That's cool. That's a good story. Good mom and good kidding. Everybody wins. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good.
