People who switched their car insurance to geic save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just Heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Host]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.

[Dad]

It's time for the good news.

[Ad Voice]

Tell me something good.

[Bobby]

All right. Something good from the last 24 hours, Amy.

[Amy]

Okay, well, my dog has been having some issues with her ears where she flops them back and forth and all night, like. And it wakes me up like. Like she's shaking them, like something's in it. So I thought something might be seriously wrong. So took her to the vet, and turns out she just needs some ear drops. It sounds like she got a little lunchbox. It's like there's some yeast in there.

[Bobby]

Stanley gets ear infections all the time.

[Amy]

Are his ears big and floppy?

[Bobby]

No. Bulldogs just are broken everywhere.

[Amy]

Right. So I guess if Stanley shakes his head, I don't know what all you'd hear, but Car's ears are so floppy that it's like. Like every time. And I was like, make it stop. Make it stop. And I didn't know what was going on. And so now I just have to do a drop in each ear and she's going to be good to go. And then went ahead and got her a little allergy shot while I was there. And then they suggested something else and something else. Next thing you know, you can't leave the bet without spinning. Like, it's like an oil change.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby]

You need some wipers.

[Amy]

I thought of you with your tire situation while I was there. I was like, wait, am I getting tired? Like, the.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Making the old. Yeah. Car. You know, car shop situation. But I. I had no man there to, like. You're supposed to go to the mechanic with a man. Am I supposed to take a man to the vet?

[Bobby]

Don't take me.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we should change that.

[Amy]

Change what?

[Eddie]

Taking a man to the mechanic. You guys should.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, I know we need to just stand up for ourselves, but I don't know. Just sometimes it's just. It can't help. It automatically comes out. Okay, well, whatever you think, if you

[Bobby]

show up to the mechanic with me,

[Amy]

Bobby's like, okay, whatever you think, it's

[Bobby]

like, are you sure there's not more you can find?

[Amy]

Right. Right.

[Bobby]

Is there a way we can spend more money?

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby]

All right, Eddie, what do you have?

[Eddie]

Yeah, mine was weird. So yesterday I get home and my wife all of a sudden wants to start looking at subscriptions and, what, we can cancel. And I'm like, awesome. I've been asking for this for, like, Five years. And she's like, yeah, like Target. I know. I've been spending a lot on Target. I've been spending a lot on, like, grocery deliveries. So we. We sat down and we got rid of so many subscriptions. Dude, I was so happy yesterday. The only thing that worries me, though, is that she's the one that does all the money in the house. So I don't know if I'm supposed to be worried about something.

[Bobby]

Yeah. I wonder what prompted that. Usually that doesn't happen for no reason.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby]

So what do you think happened?

[Eddie]

I feel like all of a sudden, she was like, you know what? Eddie's been asking for this for five years. I want to do something for him.

[Bobby]

And, like, you feel like that's an all of a sudden type thing?

[Eddie]

That's what she said. It was.

[Amy]

I feel like, from my experience, I think sometimes we just have a. An epiphany.

[Eddie]

That's what she said.

[Bobby]

But usually the epiphany is, oh, crap. When you look at, like, spending or debt or a bill.

[Amy]

Right. Or just kind of assessing, like, wow, I have. I'm paying a 9.99, which is the target one a month because I recently went through and cleaned up some stuff, and then I'll probably re subscribe as the year goes on, and then we'll reassess again, you know, 365 days later. It just happens, because sometimes they'll be like, there's deals. You know, you get a deal if you do the 9.99amonth, so then you want to resign up for the deal, and then you have moments of clarity where you. I feel like, yeah, she either wanted to value Eddie's desires or she just had a moment where, like, enough is enough.

[Bobby]

But the moment is usually prompted.

[Eddie]

Oh, crap. Yeah, we need to do something.

[Amy]

Can't it just be like, oh, wow, I have signed up for a lot of monthly subscriptions, so what I would

[Bobby]

say to that is, yes, but only whenever you look at the bottom line of all your subscriptions added together, and you're like, oh, crap, we can't do this anymore.

[Eddie]

The last, like, two weeks, I've been like, every time I come home, there's more stuff in the front door. Like, we need to do something. So maybe she just kind of said, like, you know what? Let's look at it at least.

[Bobby]

But how much do you think you saved?

[Eddie]

We'll see. Tbd. But, I mean, I think.

[Amy]

How many did you cancel?

[Eddie]

Well, we canceled, like, a lot of them, but, I mean, it still continues through the year. Like through the end of the year.

[Amy]

Some of them, you don't go month.

[Bobby]

So like a month to month on all that. I go yearly on things I for sure will do for a year. Otherwise I do month to month because I end up going, I don't need this. And the greatest thing about Apple now is that if you buy it through Apple, through your phone, you can easily cancel it. Some of these things are impossible to cancel.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby]

And that should be against the law. And they've tried different, different ways to put it inside of bills to make it, but they still haven't passed. Like a universal one. Click on a certain dedicated page on every subscription service model. Right. So that doesn't happen yet. But with Apple, if you subscribe through your. Basically itunes.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Apple Store, Apple Store, whatever that is, you can go through and see and turn them off and they just stop charging. And every time they do charge, it comes to your email and reminds you that you're being charged for it.

[Eddie]

I like that.

[Bobby]

Yeah. So I'm not an Apple shill by any means, but for me, it's worked really well to any of my subscriptions to go through Apple.

[Amy]

You know what's really. It's awful when you realize it, but it's amazing that it happens. So I did. I use Rocket Money for all my stuff. And they'll tell you when you have double subscriptions.

[Bobby]

Oh, man. If I get Rocket Money, they'd be like, you got seven. You got seven ESPN accounts that you keep forgetting.

[Amy]

Yes. The password. And then you're like, wait, that's on that credit card? That's on that credit card. And it's. It might be something that's 2.99amonth. So it's not very noticeable, but the fact that you're paying it multiple times and for no reason and you're barely watching your MGM Plus.

[Bobby]

I keep forgetting that off, but I'm not going to now because from is back on.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby]

So I have to remember to turn it off once from is over.

[Eddie]

You got it on the, like the free trial. I.

[Bobby]

Sure. But I bought it thinking I was going to keep it because the free trial is 30 days. And that show, I was going to watch more than four episodes. Like when it came out. I must have bought it last year. And then you guys reminded me that I don't get that show for free. And then I said, hey, Caitlin, do we subscribe to MGM Plus? And she's like, what is that? I said, well, that's how we watch From. And so we went inside of Amazon. You can see your subscriptions.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And we do subscribe to League Pass, which I do watch, which is the NBA and then mgm. Plus I've never even looked at that platform.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

To see what they have, like, what else they have.

[Amy]

It's always good to do a little sweep. A little. Yeah. You gotta watch out for the kids too, because my daughter snuck Crunchyroll into our account for a long time.

[Bobby]

Billy ordered WWE Pay per View.

[Eddie]

Oh, really?

[Bobby]

Yeah. And I was like, Kayla. I don't know how she did that. She's ordering all kinds of stuff. I am having a trouble canceling one payment because I didn't do it through Apple. And we used to have it at our other house. We don't anymore. But it's on my credit card and I can't remember the password to get in. I've tried to cancel it. It's the Halo collar.

[Amy]

What does that do?

[Bobby]

It's a dog collar that.

[Amy]

Oh, you.

[Bobby]

It. You put the things up in your yard and they can't really go past the barrier.

[Eddie]

Invisible fence or whatever.

[Bobby]

I can't turn it off. And so I get mad for like five minutes a month, and then I forget about it. But it pops up and it's like your halo charge of 12.99 on my credit. Because it pops up on my credit card on my phone.

[Amy]

You haven't had to maybe get a new credit card at some point and then it'll just take care of it.

[Bobby]

I don't get scammed very often.

[Eddie]

Sorry, Amy.

[Bobby]

We're not like, Amy's changing one out every 40 days.

[Amy]

I know. It's like the worst thing ever because you have to go redo all your auto pay bills.

[Bobby]

I see it and I go, gosh, you try to get that. And I've gone to the site a couple times to change my username and password and I can't. I cannot get in. So I've been charged for like a year and a half every month. Haven't used it at all. And that's about five minutes of rage that I have. And then I just forget about it until I'm raged again 30 days later.

[Eddie]

That is so funny you say that because, like, I go through that all the time. The five minute of rage, which is so mad. Especially when I get those emails of like, you know, you have a subscription renewing again. I'm like, what app is that? I get so mad, I make the call and then I'm good.

[Bobby]

I bought a year on this workout app because the Deal was good and I think if I were to use four months of it, it actually made the year worth it. It was one of those really good deals and I thought, I think I'll use this for probably four months. Let me go and get the deal. It's so mid. It's so mid. Like, not great. Better than terrible. They have like 40 trainers on there.

[Amy]

I thought you found a guy that you like, though, and he talked.

[Bobby]

No, the guy talks a lot. I don't. I don't need talking. I don't.

[Amy]

I just remember it being a talking thing.

[Bobby]

I don't need a lot of talking guy.

[Eddie]

You get dirty version.

[Amy]

Well, mute it. Mute it.

[Bobby]

No, I don't do the dirty version. No, I don't.

[Amy]

Can you mute?

[Bobby]

No, probably. I don't know. I don't go that deep into it. They do let you team it up with your music app, though, which is kind of nice. I don't know how they do that. That's cool company. It's like, hey, pick your music app and then it's your own playlist. And then when they talk, which is too much, it pulls the music down. I don't even want to promote what it is because one, it ain't a commercial, and two, I don't love it. It's fine. Do you know what it is?

[Amy]

No. I mean, I remember you talking about it, but I don't know what it is. I don't do apps. When I signed up for Pilates last year, of course I got the year.

[Bobby]

Of course.

[Amy]

I mean, it was a deal. 20% off if you sign up for the whole year, which if I did, then I did the math on that and then I did the math of how many classes I need to do per week to make it really a deal. Have I gone this week? No, but typically I do. I just, I think, still recover. I think I've been letting myself recover from my heart. And then I did my own sprints.

[Bobby]

So have you done them again or is that one run? No, just one.

[Dad]

Just the one run.

[Amy]

That was what? That was yesterday.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I know.

[Bobby]

If you did them this morning.

[Amy]

Oh, no, I did a meditation.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Amy]

I need a rest. I did my five minute morning meditation. She starts off with, good morning, my love.

[Bobby]

She British?

[Amy]

I don't know, she's Asian. But she speaks really softly. She may have a British accent, too. I just know. Good morning, my love. Her name is Lavendaire.

[Eddie]

You can see her.

[Amy]

She's on YouTube.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

I close my eyes, though. I just See her in the beginning. Sit with your back straight.

[Bobby]

Mike, have you watched the new Drew Ski sketch? No. All the actors are British. They're taking all of our roles. No, I haven't seen that yet. That guy's killing it.

[Amy]

Oh, I was on Instagram yesterday, and he kept going live like, a billion times in a row. Like, I kept. Why is it saying Drew Ski's live? Drew Ski's live, Drew Ski's live. I'm like, do I even follow Drew Ski?

[Eddie]

Do you?

[Amy]

I must. I don't ever see his stuff. But, like, Bobby had actually posted. I got on Instagram to post something on our Feeling Things podcast, and then I saw Bobby posted the wrestling video or something. So then I was doing that, and in that five minutes that I was on Feeling Things and then Bobby's page, Drew went live three different times, and I kept having to swipe it out and.

[Bobby]

You don't follow Drisky, you must follow him.

[Amy]

I must follow him if I was getting the notification. But I swear to you, I haven't seen a Drew Ski skit. Or, like, when did I. Quick, quick. Click, click, follow.

[Bobby]

Maybe when you've never seen a Drew Ski skit.

[Amy]

I. I mean, I saw Aaron Kirk one.

[Bobby]

That's a great one.

[Amy]

That must have been when I hit follow, because I was like, this is funny.

[Bobby]

It's funny. Yeah. So, like, he's doing SNL by himself.

[Amy]

Spell his name that.

[Bobby]

You might have seen the one, too, where he got completely white and went to the NASCAR race.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I've seen that one.

[Amy]

No, I swear to you, I only saw.

[Bobby]

It's so funny. He said so funny.

[Eddie]

He is so funny.

[Amy]

Like, dude, I don't even know how to spell his name. Spell it.

[Bobby]

D R U S K I.

[Amy]

D, R U S K I. Loading. Druy. I'm following.

[Bobby]

There you go.

[Amy]

Let's go.

[Bobby]

But no, that's why he went.

[Amy]

Nothing on his page have I ever seen.

[Eddie]

I wonder why you followed him.

[Amy]

Besides Erica, probably when he did the skit. And I was like, this guy's funny.

[Bobby]

Yeah, you'd like, though, when he went white to the NASCAR race, too. It looks like the elevated version of White Chicks. How in that movie, they. They were white, but they didn't really look white. Like, because it was, you know, body paint or whatever. It's kind of like that where he. He doesn't look extremely Caucasian, but he's. It's really white. Like, it's. It's way, way too white. Anyway, watch that bones.

[Child]

[Geico Gecko]

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know. Today. People who switch their car insurance to geico. Save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Host]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.

[Bobby]

You know what's good? Oh, another thing, instead of buying these workout subscription services, what I've found to be pretty good is you can almost get everything just as good for free on YouTube.

[Amy]

That's where I get my meditations. Yeah, yeah, lots of YouTube. Oh, we've talked about lymphatic massage, drainage stuff. YouTube.

[Bobby]

The difference is you're in the middle of doing a workout with somebody who's teaching a class on YouTube and then a commercial hits.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So then you got to go, well, you got to pay for the non commercial youtubes. And at that point you could have just got a subscription service.

[Amy]

Oh, no, no. I just let it play the five seconds and hit skip.

[Bobby]

Yeah, but if you're like working out, it's tough because then you got to go back to your phone. I'll, I'll like screen mirror it to the television in the gym.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So screen mirroring is not fancy. Maybe having a gym at your house is fancy. I can agree with that.

[Eddie]

Screen mirror is not fancy.

[Bobby]

I think you picked the wrong thing to attack there, Eddie. Good for you.

[Eddie]

Yeah, man, it. I mean, it brightened my day for sure.

[Bobby]

That's one of those that hopefully the fruits will present themselves later because you didn't save any money yesterday, then you

[Amy]

can spend all that money on a vet bill.

[Eddie]

I did kind of get upset though, a little bit. Like, why now? Like, you know, it's just like, yeah, of course. Five years.

[Amy]

Why. Why focus on the negative?

[Eddie]

I know, I know.

[Amy]

Why not be like, Well, I would,

[Bobby]

I'd brace myself for the negative.

[Eddie]

Like, what, what's the reason?

[Bobby]

Just whenever it's presented to you that something happened, 30% of that impact will not be felt because you're already going, I'm expecting something, so it's not going to be a shock when it happens.

[Amy]

Oh, he. I think he's why now because he was feeling dismissed. Do you think he's why now because there might be some crazy bill?

[Bobby]

Yes. I second.

[Eddie]

No, no, no.

[Amy]

Okay. See, mine's first one he feels and

[Eddie]

more because, like, I've said it before and I haven't felt good when I say it, but I've said it where, like, I'm gonna Quit?

[Amy]

Like, quit what?

[Eddie]

Stop making money. Like, I'm gonna.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby]

Oh, my God. That's stupid. I know.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby]

That's such an empty threat that it's not even a threat.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, so you're quitting the job here or you're just gonna be like, don't pay me.

[Eddie]

I told her that.

[Bobby]

Yeah, but that's.

[Eddie]

It's like, I felt stupid after I said it.

[Bobby]

That's like you saying, if you don't stop, I'm gonna put on a cape and fly out of this house. Like, that's never gonna happen.

[Eddie]

But what if I just quit all of a sudden?

[Bobby]

You wouldn't.

[Eddie]

All because of subscriptions. Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby]

That's cutting off your nose despite your face.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I know. It's definitely stupid. But I've gotten to the point where I'm like, I can't take it anymore. I tell. I say this so many times. I'm going to quit.

[Amy]

Keen, you need my intentional dialogue script. Well, it's not mine, but I got it from therapy Cap. It's so easy.

[Eddie]

Eddie, you can do it again.

[Amy]

Oh, gosh. Okay.

[Bobby]

But if you hold it up in front of your face while you're telling wife that.

[Amy]

No. It's easy to memorize.

[Eddie]

What is it?

[Amy]

When you blank. So when you. No, sorry, let me say it this way. I. When I ask you to stop cancel.

[Eddie]

When I ask you to stop ordering

[Amy]

all this stuff online and it gets ignored.

[Eddie]

And it gets ignored.

[Amy]

It makes me feel.

[Eddie]

It makes me feel unheard there. Yeah. And.

[Amy]

And the story I tell myself.

[Eddie]

Not important.

[Amy]

The story I tell myself is.

[Eddie]

And the story I tell myself is. You don't care what I think.

[Amy]

Right?

[Eddie]

I'm not important to you.

[Bobby]

Why are you holding up a piece of paper? It's not in front of you.

[Amy]

Here, I'll.

[Child]

I'll.

[Amy]

I have a little pamphlet. I'll text it to you.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

You can keep it in your back pocket.

[Eddie]

Dude, I'm not going to remember any of that.

[Amy]

Wait, but it's not. You just express what happens without being accusatory of, like, it's all about you and your feelings. But, like, obviously she's participating in it, but you are just saying, when this happens, I feel this. And then the story I tell myself is. And then you sedate what you need. What I need is. What I need is to sit down and do this with you.

[Eddie]

It feels good to save money.

[Amy]

Or I'm gonna quit my job.

[Eddie]

Is that not on there?

[Bobby]

Or I'm gonna quit you've never actually said that.

[Eddie]

I've said it.

[Bobby]

That's not a real threat.

[Eddie]

How does she see it seemed like it worked, but I mean, I would have never quit. Like I probably. I definitely wouldn't have quit, but I felt like I had to say something to be like, I am serious. This is not a joke.

[Bobby]

But it's not a serious threat. So I wouldn't have taken that threat seriously at all.

[Eddie]

So how else would you frame it? Like, I don't know, I'm dead serious.

[Amy]

What if you were trying to talk to your child about something and they're like, I'm never going to school again.

[Eddie]

I have one kid that probably would never go to school again.

[Amy]

No, but you're not gonna allow that.

[Bobby]

You're not gonna allow that to happen.

[Amy]

Actually, the law, it's against the law.

[Eddie]

I thought about this. The other one of them was just like, I'm not going to school. So like, how do you make them. Do you just drag them and throw them outside like, Cuz he will literally get back in the car.

[Bobby]

Like that's tough. Like if they really physically are fighting, you go. I think you'd have to do some sort of.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

You call physically. Yep.

[Eddie]

1:1 to get the cop to take him.

[Amy]

Well, no, I mean, you say at first my. My thing would be like, okay, fine, and I leave them. That's one day. And then that doesn't work. Then you like progress to the other stuff. It's truancy. Like it's against the law.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I'm like you though, because like, what's making them just not go to school? Like, fine, I won't go. And I have one that'll literally just be like, I'm not going. You're not gonna make me go. And I thought like, man, if he really stands up, he commits to it.

[Bobby]

It's hard to get him to get him there.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

But eventually carry him in and then handcuffed him to like a radiator.

[Eddie]

And that sounds illegal, but what happens

[Amy]

when kids don't show up to school eventually?

[Bobby]

Does the parents trouble?

[Amy]

Yeah, well, I know, but if the parents are. We're like, no, no, we're.

[Eddie]

You're like, I try to get.

[Amy]

We're trying to get them to go.

[Bobby]

Doesn't matter. Wow.

[Amy]

Okay. So yeah, you have to call 91 1.

[Eddie]

Wow. Well, let's hope we don't get that any.

[Amy]

Check your text.

[Bobby]

Do it now. Call 91 1-LUNCHBOX. Tell me something good.

[Host]

Yeah, I got an email from our PD operations manager in Salina Manhattan, Kansas, his name. And he invited me to fly out there in October for the Kansas. Kansas State game. He said they're going to roll out the red carpet and treat me like the celebrity that I am. And as a big Kansas fan, I felt really appreciated.

[Eddie]

Are you going?

[Host]

Yeah, I think I'm going to go.

[Amy]

Why'd you say that hesitantly?

[Host]

Well, I haven't checked the calendar. I don't know if I can go on the. What?

[Bobby]

When?

[Host]

In October. It is. He said in October, so I need to find the exact date, make sure I'm available, but pretty freaking cool.

[Bobby]

Who's going to make you feel like a celebrity?

[Host]

He said he was. He said that the station was gonna do all the glitz and glamor and treat me like I'm royalty.

[Bobby]

So ins. He said those words in Salina?

[Host]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Host]

99 kilograms.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Yeah, I've been there. Been there multiple times. Yeah.

[Amy]

No, but that's how the call is that. Have you worked with this person before? Bobby?

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Does he say glitz, glamour, and I

[Bobby]

don't really know his vocabulary that well.

[Eddie]

So this is work.

[Host]

They said they'll be rolling out the red carpet.

[Bobby]

No, that's not saying.

[Eddie]

This is like you're going for work, right? Like you're going for an event.

[Host]

Yeah, Kansas. Because he knows I'm a Kansas fan and they'll be playing K State, and so he thought it'd be a good time to have me out there.

[Bobby]

So you're going to do like a station deal, remote, Meet listeners and stuff?

[Host]

Yeah, I'll probably meet listeners, do whatever. Probably fly me in on a helicopter into midfield. I don't know. That's what I was thinking.

[Amy]

Maybe some clients.

[Bobby]

Yeah, I bet there's no helicopter. With how budgets are these days, I'd bet there's no helicopter at all. Oh, you're lucky they don't Greyhound you up.

[Host]

No, no, that wouldn't be.

[Eddie]

Red carpet Greyhound.

[Host]

Yeah. Greyhound is not red carpet. That is not that. That didn't scream red carpet at all.

[Bobby]

Well, that's good.

[Host]

Yeah. That's pretty exciting.

[Bobby]

Yeah, that is pretty cool. Morgan, anything from you?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I've been getting to nerd out lately this week, and I bought tickets for Mandalorian and Grogu for the release night, which I'm really excited about. And I gotta watch the season finale of Daredevil, which was awesome.

[Bobby]

I don't know what that first thing is that you said. Is that a movie? Because I know Mandalorian's a show.

[Morgan]

Yes. The next installment is a movie that's coming out at the end of May.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Bobby]

There you go.

[Amy]

Oh, you already got tickets as the.

[Morgan]

Well, yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm going.

[Eddie]

You can get tickets that far in advance?

[Amy]

Yeah. They released.

[Morgan]

Gosh. A couple months ago, I think, so I'm kind of late to the game, but I always try and go release weekend because I don't want to get any spoilers on my social media before.

[Bobby]

Remember when she came in dressed like a stormtrooper? She was up all night in line getting tickets. You know I would do that. No, you don't remember that. We had to take the baby to the doctor a couple days ago. I talked about that. And so they gave some medicine to help with her crazy, like, acid reflux. And it. It took. It's great. Had a great day yesterday. So that was good. Guessed it on a podcast yesterday, which was good. No issues there. I. It was very much so. I got home, and it was dedicated to the baby. We watched Arkansas play Alabama. They lost yesterday. Arkansas did. Which sucks. But now softball next weekend is regionals. If they win that. Super regionals. If they win that College World Series. So that's where my head is. I don't got anything crazy. Kind of cold yesterday.

[Amy]

Like you felt cold or. It was cold outside.

[Eddie]

It's cold outside.

[Amy]

Oh, but in the sun, it felt still cold.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So baby feels better. That's mine.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby]

Normally have an elaborate story. We didn't save any money yesterday or anything. And cancel any subscriptions.

[Eddie]

It's a great day, dude.

[Bobby]

All right. There you go. That's what it's all about.

[Dad]

That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Bobby.

[Ad Voice]

Tell me something good.

[Bobby]

Madeline's 8 years old, and she heard her neighbor playing guitar on his porch. And so there's a big fence in between them. She's only eight. So she gets a piece of paper, and she writes, hey, will you play a Taylor Swift song? And she throws the airplane over to the neighbor. Neighbor opens it, and so the neighbor looks it up and starts playing Love story. And then Madeline is singing from the other side. And this goes up on the Internet. It goes super viral.

[Amy]

That's so cool.

[Bobby]

Yeah. So the neighbor didn't realize it was being recorded at the time and really only learned about the video's reach because people were recognizing him as the porch guy playing the Taylor Swift song. So the increased visibility to Ethan's music then brought him thousands of new followers and people curious about what he does musically. And so it's just kind of a neat thing to do. He was kind. It was recorded, it was shared. It worked out well. Now, the tragedy would have been if he was, like, running from the law or something.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby]

And that's.

[Eddie]

They find him like that.

[Bobby]

Yeah, we got him. He wasn't.

[Amy]

I saw Taylor Swift talking about Love Story and how she wrote it when she was 17, after, and she was just saying, hey, parents, like, send your kids to their room or, you know, share your disapproval with certain things, because that's what happened. They disapproved about a guy that Taylor was seeing, an older guy, and then she was in her room, kind of frustrated about it, and that's when she wrote Love Story, which is a jam.

[Bobby]

Did they ever say who the guy was?

[Eddie]

I don't know how much older.

[Bobby]

Does the Internet. I know there's a lot of questions. That's what I was wondering, Morgan, does the Internet say who? Love stories about from Taylor Swift?

[Morgan]

Not that I've seen, But also, there's a lot of speculation, so it's kind of hard to decipher who it truly is from her perspective.

[Bobby]

It says 2008, a guy she was seeing whom her friends and family did not approve of. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. I keep just seeing a boy she liked. They didn't. Why do you. Have you heard somebody?

[Bobby]

You hear all kinds of stuff. I hear all kinds of stuff. I'm hearing stuff right now. You guys don't hear it? I hear it.

[Amy]

All right.

[Bobby]

There you go. That's what it's all about.

[Dad]

That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with lunchbox.

[Ad Voice]

Tell me something good.

[Host]

Last summer, Levi of Caldwell, Idaho, wasn't feeling well. Goes to the doctor, and they find leukemia. So they send him to St. Luke's Hospital, then to St. Jude. He has a bone marrow transplant. He's been there ever since. And he finally gets to come home when his sixth birthday is coming up and his mom's like, he can't have a birthday party. Weakened immune system, can't be around a lot of people. I want to have a parade for him. So she posted online, and the town of Caldwell, Idaho, showed up. First responders, cars, big old parade. They dropped off gifts, and he got to watch it all.

[Bobby]

It's pretty cool because he's sitting there like a big chair with his, like, big fat Oakley sunglasses, and then he's got all these signs behind him. Yeah, it's pretty cool. What are those sunglasses called? The big goofy ones. Baseball players wear them, too, but they're like vipers. Pit vipers.

[Eddie]

Oh, is that what they're called?

[Bobby]

Yeah, that's the brand. That's the brand. They're the big Oakleys that they wear. But they're like the pit vipers too. Yeah. This kid's loving it. Yeah. Good job by that town. Happy birthday, Levi. That's pretty cool. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was.

[Dad]

Tell me something good.

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Host]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good.

[Bobby]

To Geico, Owning a home comes with a lot of things nobody really prepares you for, including yard care. Sunday is a company trying to make that part easier. They start with a soil test and climate data to build a yard plan tailored to where you live, then ship everything directly to your door. No guesswork, no dragging bags of fertilizer, and instead of harsh chemicals, Sunday uses simple, nutrient dense ingredients like seaweed, molasses and iron. Everything hooks up to a hose, which, honestly, sounds like my speed. If your yard feels more stressful than satisfying, Sunday's approach makes a lot of sense.
