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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.
