You want to go first?

[A]

Yeah, I guess. I don't really know why it's so difficult sometimes to convince my son to get a haircut. It's like a thing. Like, he just resists and does not want to do it. But there's this one barber in particular that he loves, and I was trying to get an appointment for tonight, and he was booked, but then I just got a message that he had an opening. And so it's great news because this is the barber that he feels the best with. He's just really hard to get into.

[B]

And do you have a traumatic experience as a kid? Did he cut his head or something?

[A]

No, nothing like that. Like, I really don't know what it is. Like, it's just, like, this one little piece of control he holds onto for some reason. But this barber, he loves, and now we're in. And it's just great because I just like it when he's got Especially, you know, now that he's in track and he's running.

[B]

Why not let him grow his hair out, though?

[A]

He doesn't want to grow. He doesn't want to grow it out. He's just. He doesn't want to grow out his hair.

[B]

So he doesn't want to grow out, but he doesn't want to go to the barber.

[A]

Exactly. Unless it's this specific, specific one. And this one's just hard to get into. And it's hard to plan ahead because I don't always know his schedule. And, you know, if he's gonna be with his dad, he's gonna be with me. And then getting him out there because it's, like, 30 minutes away. And so we're in now, 5 o'. Clock. Just got the note. And so I'm excited because he's gonna, like, go into the weekend with a good haircut and go into his track meet next week. Speaking of his running, I gave y' all an update the other day that he had a PR for his mile of 5:12. He just hit 5:11. He had a race, like, last night. 5:11.

[B]

Where were they racing?

[A]

Independence.

[B]

There was a track meet over here at school.

[A]

Yeah. No, it wasn't over here.

[B]

Everything was blocked. We tried to go do our normal walk. Everything is blocked. So we're like, what's happening? What was that noise?

[C]

Somebody fell.

[B]

Like, somebody just collapsed.

[D]

Sorry, I collapsed over here.

[B]

It sounded like a body hitting the ground.

[C]

Morgan has the Amy sunglasses today.

[B]

Morgan, why are you wearing the sunglasses today?

[D]

My vertigo is back.

[B]

Oh, that's telling me something suck.

[D]

Yeah, not good news. So, yeah, I'm a little off kilter, so I just dropped my phone on my laptop.

[B]

Is that really why.

[D]

Yeah, I'm just like, my. My. Like, what is it called? Your motor functions are just not the same when you have vertigo. You're kind of all over the place.

[B]

So did you drive into work?

[D]

I did, yeah.

[E]

Good question.

[B]

Should you be driving into work?

[D]

I'm functioning better than I did last time.

[B]

So not a good answer for me to drive into work.

[C]

Not at all.

[D]

Yes. I think I'm okay. Vestibular specialist says I'm okay, too. She wants me to be doing active, like, things to try and get me back to normal, but.

[B]

Yeah. Is driving one of those?

[C]

No, man.

[A]

Yeah. Like, is it active, like, just going on a walk or.

[B]

Yeah, going on a walk, doing laundry.

[A]

I gotta get to work.

[B]

When did this come back?

[D]

This week. It happened Wednesday night when I was sleeping and I just rolled over bed.

[B]

Oh, you weren't even doing anything that triggered it.

[D]

Nope. I just rolled over in bed and it happened again.

[A]

Oh, gosh.

[B]

Explain to us what virtual vertigo feels like.

[D]

You know that tilter ride that if you go to one of those janky, like, setup circuses and that has that tilt? A world ride where you stand? Yeah. You're, like, standing against the wall and it's just circling and you can't really walk forward. You're, like, stuck against a wall.

[C]

Graviton.

[B]

Yeah. The gravity ride. Yeah.

[D]

Yes. That's what it feels like. If you try to walk like you're up against gravity because your body's constantly, like, pushing you towards a different direction, you're into that.

[B]

How do you try to drive?

[C]

That's another good question, man.

[D]

As long I'm actually better when I'm sitting and my face is not moving a whole lot. Like, as long as my whole body can move with it. It's when my face itself tries to look to the ground or look up. It's perpendicular things. It's called a parallel.

[C]

When you drive, you're sometimes looking left, right?

[D]

Yeah. I have to use my whole body to look left. I can't just peek over my shoulder. I have to turn my whole body to do it.

[B]

When I was in a neck brace, I had to do that.

[C]

When were you in a neck brace?

[B]

High school football.

[C]

Oh, really?

[B]

They call me Myrtle the turtle, and I. You have to turn your whole body it's what it reminds me of.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I do wear a neck brace sometimes at night, so my head. Cause if I turn my head in the wrong way, I, like, ruin the work that we've done on it to try and get me better.

[B]

I'm kind of feeling today's a Tell me something suck.

[C]

So should we just all do tell me something suck.

[B]

Well, Amy talked about in part one, her eye is bothering her.

[A]

Well, I have a sty.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

That's.

[A]

It's about to be. I mean, honestly, it was kind of sucky that I couldn't get. I couldn't get a haircut, but I think it's good. I actually wanted to shout out barbers out there that make kids feel comfortable.

[C]

Shout out.

[A]

Shout out. Right. Because there's probably a lot of kids who just hate going to get their haircut.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And you find the right person.

[B]

Well, you're really hanging on to the haircutting thing, huh?

[A]

I was trying to be like. I was like, well, maybe I was

[B]

trying to the beginning, but, man, she's fighting for it.

[A]

No, I was trying to think of,

[C]

like, how can I help her, too?

[B]

Me too. Sometimes we want to bail each other out because we realize what we got really ain't a lot. So we do that. We throw in the life preserver.

[A]

I guess for me, it's good. And then I'm like, yeah, I guess it is kind of, like, lame. Tell me something lame.

[B]

It works, but I get it.

[A]

It's just not, like, super exciting. No.

[B]

Tell me something suck. One of your eyes won't open as much as your other one.

[A]

Okay. Yeah. And it's painful every time.

[B]

I. I can tell it's painful, but

[A]

I took some Aleve and I took. I have this dye cream in, which feels weird and gooey. And then, you know, I'm just thinking positively.

[B]

That'll fix it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Speaking of eyes, I'll give you a tell me something sucked. So my bulldog, Stanley, had a scratch in his eye, a big one. We don't know how he got it. And so I've been every day, four times a day, been putting these antibiotic eye drops in his eye, and it's not working. It. Mild relief. Dr. Josie came back over yesterday. She was like, it's not getting a lot better. Let's up the eye drops stronger. So I'm doing it. But the. The good part is I do it so often. He just takes it now because he would. He'd fight it. No one wants drops in their eyes. I don't Want drops in my eyes.

[A]

No one.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

It's like natural reflex.

[B]

And so now he's just so tired of me grabbing him all the time. He just sits there and just goes, go ahead, do it.

[C]

He holds his eye open.

[A]

He's like, hey.

[B]

But to tell me something suck is. She came over yesterday for two reasons. One, she wanted to see the baby, and she's pregnant, so. Two, she wanted to see his eye and she's like, if this doesn't get better by Monday, he's got to go in for surgery.

[A]

What?

[C]

Dang.

[B]

That's. Tell me something sucked.

[C]

You wanna know?

[B]

Tell me something sucked. Yes, But I can turn this in and tell me something good. I was up way late last night because Arkansas played basketball. We lost. We got drummed. I figured we'd lose because Arizona is really good. So that sucks. However, going into the game, I'll turn this into a good beforehand. I told Eddie and told the guys, we lose this game, we're predicted to lose this game. We had a. A good season. Second year under our coach, and it was a better year than the first year. A second sweet 16, but we had a conference championship. We had a player of the year, conference player of the year, All American. So things are trending up for us. So it sucked losing last night. And it got to be pretty bad. And I'm proud of myself because I went into it going, if we do lose, I still have. This is how I'm going to feel after. It was not rageful. I even fell asleep within an hour after the game because it was late.

[C]

It was so late.

[B]

It's after 11. Yeah.

[C]

For no reason.

[B]

Old me would have taken a baseball bat and gone to mailboxes around the neighborhood.

[C]

Oh, my.

[A]

Talking to yourself like that helped, but

[B]

I had to be truthful. I can't just talk to myself and talk me out of situations. I had to be truthful to go, yeah, it's gonna be a little disappointing, but it was better than year one. And look at all these things. Look at the growth from year one to year two. And we're just getting started. Could be worse.

[C]

Good job, man.

[A]

You know how I talked to myself last night? That might sound a little crazy, but it's just me practice.

[B]

Is that a haircut? Oh, God, no.

[A]

It's just about me practicing whimsy. I was getting ready for bed and I have this, like, nighttime drink I make before bed. It just has magnesium. It's nothing crazy. It's like tequila. No. And I. So I had the tea kettle and I Pour it. And then I'm over by the sink, and then I drop the whole coffee mug into the sink. And so not only did I just waste a scoop of my nighttime drink that I pay for, but then I was like, oh, now I have to boil more water.

[F]

And.

[A]

And instead, like, I could have really gotten mad, but I decided to turn it into this whole skit of how that cup was poisoned. And I was like, oh, my God, that sounds insane.

[B]

No, that's. That's not.

[C]

You made a whole storyline.

[A]

Yes. No, this is insane. It's whimsy. This is how you practice being whimsical. You turn it into a whole thing. And I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, this saved my life. Like, that cup was poisoned, and I'm. I'm gonna live it.

[B]

Is it whimsy or dementia?

[A]

No, no, it's whimsy. Because instead of getting mad.

[C]

What's the definition of whimsy?

[A]

Yeah, just being playful.

[B]

I would just be like, that's funny. Luckily, nobody cut their foot.

[C]

Yeah. Or positive.

[B]

No, the law of averages. I'm a drop a cup every 500 lifts or something.

[A]

How are they.

[B]

The Germans tried to poison me. World War II.

[A]

Ooh. I didn't think about that. I just. I didn't. That would have been next level. But I thought about, I get to live another day, and yay, the next scoop isn't going to be poisoned. So I'm all good, and I just scooped it in there, and I made my cup, and then I went upstairs.

[B]

So were you drinking before that drink?

[C]

It sounds like it.

[B]

Did you have a different.

[A]

No, but this. I don't know. To me, that's where whimsy has really come in handy, because I was ready for bed. I could have gotten annoyed, and it could have gone another way, but I just decided to be like, I'm alive.

[B]

Whatever works for you.

[C]

Does sound a little crazy, though.

[A]

Yeah, but that's why you do it in the privacy of your own home

[C]

and then tell everyone else about it. I'm just kept it quiet.

[A]

I'm just telling y' all some of your whimsy doesn't have to be public.

[B]

Yeah, okay.

[A]

Whatever worked for me.

[B]

Morgan, tell me something sucked for you. It's probably just gonna be your eyes. Huh?

[D]

Oh, yeah, It's a vertigo.

[B]

I mean, I guess it's your ears, too. It's your brain, right?

[D]

It's. Yeah, it's your kind of whole equilibrium. And your eyes are impacted because your eyes correlate to your balance and stuff like that. So just my entire head feels like a giant balloon right now.

[B]

You know, you don't have to come in if there's not anything that we're doing that demands your physical presence and you feel. Feel sick. Even if you feel sick, you don't have to come in. Even if something does demand your physical presence, you cannot come in.

[D]

I know I do. And it's hard because vertigo can knock you out for weeks. And so that's why I just try and function as best as I can. And after work, I'll go home and rest. So I at least try and function through the things that I need to do and then only take off when I really am not functioning, if that makes sense. I'm trying to pick and choose when it's necessary to do that.

[B]

I feel like vertigo is probably looked at like anxiety. Unless you've actually had it, you probably don't understand how significant it can be in your life.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because there are people like anxiety. Just get over it. Take some deep breaths, calm down. But unless you've actually had it for whatever reason, I don't think you can get a full understanding of it. Same thing with vertigo.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I haven't had it. So I'm trying to be open to. This really is debilitating to some people. Like I said, two weeks out, again, I'm like, you drove. But if you can sit and drive, that actually makes sense because you're not walking. You're not having to use motor skills to walk.

[D]

Yeah. And it very much. People do think I'm faking it a lot of the time. And I wish. Gosh, I wish I did. But I don't wish vertigo on anybody. It really is.

[B]

Oh, I do. I have a few people I'd wish it on. Yeah.

[A]

It's not deadly.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Inconvenient.

[A]

Maybe it is.

[B]

Yeah. I'm sorry, Morgan. That sucks.

[D]

It's okay. But. Yeah, I promise.

[B]

I believe you, by the way.

[D]

Thank you. Thank you. But I promise I won't come in if it's, like, really bad. But again, I just. I can't be out for a month, you know, like, if I'm really letting vertigo take the entire toll. So I really try and only be out if I. If it's absolutely necessary.

[B]

Well, do you ever tell me something good to match or tell me something sucked?

[D]

Not really.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

I'm just where I am right now.

[A]

Bones.

[C]

Eddie, I have to tell me something.

[B]

Suck okay or good?

[C]

Well, I'll start with a suck.

[B]

Dealer's choice.

[C]

Because you had said that. And not to, you know, make it worse, but you said that if Arkansas won and went to the final four, we would go. So we're not going. That was kind of crappy thought about that last night watching the game.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

That sucks, man.

[B]

That doesn't suck. Something sucks. Something that you never got, that you weren't expecting.

[C]

But it was in my head already. It was in my head that, like, oh, my gosh. Like, we're gonna go to the Final Four.

[B]

It's kind of a joke.

[A]

Yeah. No, you were not really gonna go.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, for sure. But I didn't think we would make it. I didn't think we had the team this year to make it. But I didn't go to these other games because Portland, I wouldn't have gone this last weekend. We just had the baby.

[A]

Oh, so Final Four would have been closer.

[B]

Indianapolis could have got there back, same day, no issue.

[A]

What, you're gonna go west coast, baby.

[B]

Billy, it was in San Jose.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

So I wasn't gonna go to that too far. I have to spend the night. We'd have gone Indianapolis to come back. Yeah, that day. So I said, hey, if Arkansas goes to Final Four, told Eddie we'll go. I don't know that looking ahead that they have a good shot to get there this year, but we'll go. And then, not only that, I said, I'm not even gonna ask my wife yet, because why would I get in trouble for something that may not happen? So I never even talked about it with her.

[C]

Good point.

[B]

Because why would I go, hey, if they make it, I'm gonna go the Final Four. And then she's like, you're going to leave, right? We have a newborn, and then we have that back and forth, and we didn't even go. It's wasted. Yeah. Yeah. Tell me something.

[C]

Anyway, that was bad. But anyway, my good, though, is that today is the start of baseball season for my kids. Well, one kid. The other kids don't play baseball anymore. We made them stop.

[B]

But why'd you make them stop?

[C]

Because they were doing too many sports, and I had them pick one sport to not do. Like, they were doing three sports. They're doing football, basketball, and baseball. And I said, you got to just pick two guys. It's too much because some of those sports enter, they intertwine, and so, like, we're doing two in one week or whatever. So they chose baseball because there's kind of. They're bored of baseball. But my little one loves baseball. And honestly, out of all the sports, I love going to baseball games, getting my little chair out, my camping chair, sitting by the dugout with my seeds. Like, it's a vibe, and I love it. So I'm so excited that that season's.

[B]

What? Why'd you What?

[C]

Because I said it's a vibe.

[A]

This is lame. Is this lame?

[C]

No, it's good. This is really good.

[B]

I'M with it.

[A]

Yeah, we're cool.

[B]

You just throwing out stuff like it's a vibe.

[C]

Why does that sound so weird to you?

[A]

I don't know. Like, what's the vibe?

[C]

The vibe of sitting? No, he's saying the way I said it's a vibe.

[A]

But is it a vibe? Yeah.

[C]

Baseball season.

[B]

I feel like Amy can pull that off.

[C]

Well, it's a vibe.

[B]

Yeah. But I didn't say anything. I just looked at her to see if she gave a reaction. I was just gonna be quiet.

[A]

I was more so just hoping his story was lame since mine was.

[C]

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

[B]

I was like, I actually like your story.

[C]

Thank you. Yeah, I'm really excited.

[B]

Well, you didn't keep fighting for it, though. Amy, like, went three rounds on hers, and here's why.

[A]

Shout out to all the barbers.

[B]

She brought up stats. She's like, 17% of kids don't like going to the barbershop.

[C]

She keeps going.

[A]

It can be traumatiz.

[B]

1.2% have a barber, like, injury in their first year of living.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

Do you have a good one? A good story?

[C]

That was my good story.

[B]

That was good.

[D]

His kid, baseball.

[C]

No, I. It's. For me. I love baseball season. It's a vibe because it's a vibe.

[A]

It's a vibe.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

It's a vibe.

[B]

Lunchbox.

[E]

Tell me something sucks. Let me think of what I got that sucks in my life right now.

[C]

Don't worry about it.

[B]

But I'm sure you have a hundred things.

[E]

What do you mean? I mean, the world does hate me, so. I mean, there are things that are. You know, my middle child does have a sinus infection. That sucks. So he has a lot of snot, and it's been going on for, like, a week and a half. Finally went to the doctor, and they're like, oh, yeah, he's got a sinus infection. No big deal. Throw some antibiotics, so he'll be getting better here in a few days. That kind of sucked. And then they went and saw me play soccer this week, and we got beat 7 to 2. That kind of sucked. That was embarrassing.

[A]

Oh, yeah. The kids watching their dad play and he loses.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

And then they said, did you get to play?

[E]

Yeah, yeah. And then they asked me why I didn't score any goals, and I said I tried.

[C]

Hey, how many minutes are you getting these days?

[E]

I don't know how many minutes I played. You know, I felt pretty good for the most part when I played Wednesday. A little tight and a little pain down Below. But.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Because how do you run?

[B]

Well, some days, massive testicle. His legs. Hitting one of them free on the other.

[E]

Some days is better than others. Wednesday was, I would say 80% good. A little bit in the second half, it started flaring up is what I would say. But yeah.

[B]

And then still want to play even though you know it's going to flare up.

[E]

Yes. Because, I mean, I can't do anything else. Like, I just sit around. It's like, oh, my gosh, I just want to do something. And it gets a little bit of adrenaline out and a competitive spirit, you know, a little rage that I have built up.

[B]

Are you supposed to get adrenaline out?

[E]

Yeah, it's like competitive. Like the juice, I guess. Competitive juices.

[A]

But then he went. Rage.

[C]

That's always in there.

[B]

Yeah. That. We need him to play soccer then. Because when he. It manifests itself in the room. It ain't good.

[C]

It's not good.

[E]

I think everybody has that. That competitive rage that they need to get out.

[A]

I'm not that competitive.

[B]

Now you have a rage, though, that isn't always competitive.

[A]

I kind of wish I was a little competitive. I'm really not.

[B]

My wife's not that competitive either.

[A]

I'm just like. I don't. I don't get it. Yeah, but what's that like, what's. Is something wrong with us?

[C]

I think so. Personality. Right.

[B]

Last night we were talking about the baby, and I was like, I can't wait for. To grow up and be a complete type A personality. She's like, why would you want that? Type B's awesome. You just. Nothing bothers you. You're just having fun. It's like type A. I've seen it with you. It looks miserable.

[C]

And so.

[B]

So I think that probably the competitiveness is probably

[C]

A.

[B]

There's probably something about it. Correlation with type A personality.

[A]

I feel like I'm type B, but I'm responsible. Type B.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

I think you're a response. Yeah, it's good.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I think responsible type B. I don't think there's a. It's an insult to be a type

[A]

B. I don't think so either.

[B]

My wife. I love that would be miserable being a type A.

[A]

No, no. I guess I was just curious if. If it was odd that I'm not competitive. I never thought about that being part of my type B personality. But I'm. I would say, you know, like, coming to work, I always check my map or if I'm going somewhere, I check my map and I saw a girl Post about this the other day, and I was like, oh, my gosh, that's so me. Like, you, you. You check and you see how many minutes it takes you. So then you get to like, still chill, but you're like, watching it. Like, you still get there right at the last minute, but it's like you're being responsible about it.

[B]

Did someone try to poison you last night?

[C]

Something's up.

[B]

Something's a little off.

[C]

I think there was something in that tea.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What? Did that story not make sense?

[B]

Yeah, it's good.

[A]

I just thought.

[B]

Do you ever tell me something good? Lunchbox?

[E]

Yeah. That Major league baseball is back. I love major league baseball. And then also fantasy baseball. I co manage a team with my cousin and it's a way for us to keep in touch. And so now we start talking again now that it's baseball season.

[C]

Just to clarify, I'm not crazy about Major League baseball season.

[E]

We don't. We weren't really confused. You didn't need to clarify.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

No, I understood.

[D]

Yeah. You like it.

[B]

When you said it was opening day, I was like, well, it's been.

[C]

Yeah, not that.

[B]

Got it.

[C]

Don't care about major league.

[B]

I'm gonna have to move off the. So I have my seasons of athletic team apparel. Usually goes from Arkansas football to Arkansas basketball. And then I have a window here where it's mostly Cubs until it gets back to Arkansas football.

[C]

So you're moving on to Cubs?

[B]

For the most part, yeah, for the most part.

[C]

Jersey.

[B]

Not Jersey guy? No, not really. Not really a Jersey guy. Scuba Steve, you want to do one? You there? Yes, I'm here. Yeah. Hello. Can you tell me something good?

[G]

Oh, you.

[B]

Okay.

[G]

Good is we started our football season. I coach my kids flag football team.

[C]

See?

[E]

Is it a vibe?

[A]

It's a vibe. It's a vibe.

[G]

No, it's not a vibe. It's actually chaos because they're first and second grade. But I don't like football and I don't really know much about football, but they hired me because I'm good at, like, managing kids and their ADD and all that kind of stuff.

[A]

Wait, you're hired? Like you're getting paid?

[G]

Not hired, but they asked me to do it appointed. And I have all the creative kids, so they don't really care about football. And we had a scrimmage yesterday against the kids who don't do, like, football. And the cool thing was is they came out, they're all like, you know, the coaches care a lot because they're failed. You know, people who didn't really surpass high school. And our kids beat them in the scrimmage.

[B]

I was like, yeah, it's a creative Kids win. This is awesome.

[G]

And they're all pumped and excited, and our first game is Saturday.

[B]

Good luck.

[G]

Thank you.

[B]

Any. Tell me something sucks.

[A]

Shots fired at those other coaches.

[G]

Well, I could get out of the.

[B]

For no reason, but, like, those failures,

[G]

but they care so much. And then. And then the. Our practice ended at a certain time, and they stayed later because we beat them. And I'm like, let those kids go home. And even my son was like, look at my friend over there.

[C]

He's tired.

[G]

He can't run anymore. It's hot. And I'm like, it's just ridiculous how some coaches are with that young age group.

[B]

Okay, all right, cool.

[A]

What about the suck?

[G]

Yeah, the suck. I don't really have any suck right now. My life's pretty good, and I'm pretty positive and enjoying everything and excited about everything that's happening.

[B]

So. Yeah, we should end on that. There you go. That's.

[E]

Tell me something.

[B]

All right, there it is. That's. Tell me something good. That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. You ever hear winner, winner, chicken dinner?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Apparently this guy stopped by a Royal Farm store in Forest Hill for some fried chicken. And while he was there, he's gonna grab a couple scratch offs. And he won 50 bucks, which is pretty cool. And so he's like, well, let's get another 1 million bucks. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

[C]

Yeah, because he got chicken, too, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's where it all started. Fried chicken dinner. He says at first he thought the million dollar prize was a $1,000 prize. And he got very excited. And then he realized the real amount. He was so shocked, he ran out of the store, leaving his food behind. After 30 years of playing, he plans to use the winnings to pay off his mortgage and save for his kids.

[C]

Listen to that.

[B]

That's from UPI lunchbox. Big lottery player. What do you think about this, man?

[E]

That is pretty amazing. And I feel like he left his food behind. That's a bad start. He's going to go broke. But why save it for his kids, man? He's been putting in that work for 30 years. 30 years. Treat yourself. Go on a vacay. Get a boat, man. Do something.

[B]

I think you can do both. Yeah. Let's say you get 600,000. After that, you can get you a boat for real.

[A]

He wants to pay off his mortgage

[B]

okay, but let's say he's got 200,000 left on his mortgage. He pays that, he's still got 400,000.

[E]

He got a hundred thousand on a

[B]

boat, a really nice boat. 100,000. So got 300,000.

[A]

Well, that boat keeps.

[B]

Okay, 100,000 on upkeep of the boat, slipping, all that. Yeah. Slip. Good point. Then he wants a beach house to go with the boat. So still he can say 50,000 for his kids, you know?

[A]

All right.

[B]

That's the story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.

[A]

Sometimes you think to make an impact on people's lives, you have to do something big, grand. Spend a lot of money. Well, John Shaw has it figured out. For the last six years on a street corner in California, he's been out there holding up signs of encouragement. So all he needs is a marker and a poster board, and he says things like, love your neighbor and broken crowns still color. For six years, he's out there with different signs, different crowns.

[B]

Yeah. For our listeners that don't get that, like, broken crowns still cover color. Huh?

[A]

Broken crowns still color. Because, like, a. A crown, even if it's broken, still colors.

[B]

It's saying, like, that's not what we're alluding to. It's that you say crown like a king wears a crown.

[A]

Okay. Broken Crayolas.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

The brand of crayons still color.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I think what he's doing. That's great. My question, first of all, I liked it on the front of this, say, I love it.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Any sort of positive encouragement? Anybody out preaching the gospel? Love it. That being said, do you have a job

[A]

out there all day, every day. It's just each weekday morning, he goes out there and holds.

[B]

That's dedication before work messages. That's awesome.

[A]

I don't. It just says for the last six years, and his name is John Shaw, I do not have his age. I do not have his occupation. Is it every day it says each

[B]

weekday morning, we're really getting his business here.

[C]

Because, man, that's a lot to come up with.

[B]

I know. I'm just curious.

[A]

Well, he'll even, like, hold up signs that pertain to a local happening. Like, if there's something that happened in the news, he'll hold up an encouraging sign for that. Sometimes it's more generic. Like, if I were advising your neighbor,

[B]

if I were giving him some advice, I'd.

[E]

In the.

[B]

On the corner of the sign, I'D sell ads to like local the local catfish place.

[C]

Sponsored yeah, yeah.

[A]

I mean, people honk, they wave. Some have even pulled over to share an impact that his sign made on them.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

Emotionally.

[B]

Yeah. Good.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

So shout out John.

[B]
