[Bobby]

It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. Why don't you respond to my text or my message?

[Amy]

What message?

[Bobby]

So Amy, Amy came over yesterday, gave me another opportunity to sit on the fancy couch. Oh, when Amy comes over, that's when we have fancy couch sit like the last time. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So me and my wife and Amy just sat for like half an hour and just hung out. Amy brought a gift over and it was a book, a Shel Silverstein book. And because your dog ate the other one. So you ordered this one. But then I messaged you because you had a video of the older one that your dog ate before you gifted us this one. A different one. The one that your dog ate looks like it was signed.

[Amy]

No, I think that's just like it looks like that. I guess it's her signature, but it's just.

[Bobby]

No, no, no. It's not a her shell.

[Amy]

Sorry.

[Caitlin]

Yeah, it's a guy.

[Bobby]

Did you think it was a her?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby]

Oh, because. Oh, you know what we'll do.

[Amy]

I guess so.

[Bobby]

Fun fact about this. Tell the story. Then I'll give you a fun fact about Shel Silverstein.

[Amy]

Okay. So I thought. I think it's just like stamped on there. So I think it's on the copy I also gave you. If you take the COVID off the jacket. If you take the jacket off, like, I think you'll see it. So. No, surely he's not. Is he living?

[Bobby]

What do you think?

[Amy]

I have no idea.

[Bobby]

Now he died. Like when we're in high school.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Yeah. But can I tell you like a funny bit that I heard a show that it's a podcast doing?

[Danielle Fishel]

Sure.

[Bobby]

There weren't. When you said had the jacket of the book, it reminded me. I thought it was so funny. We would never do this bit. But they, they have on Thursdays they do something called Thursday Jersey days. They all wear jerseys. It's a podcast called Mostly Sports. I listen to every day. And one of them wore a jacket and they were like, we should have a jacket off. So they had. Then they had a Jacket off competition.

[Caitlin]

That's funny.

[Bobby]

What does that mean for dudes? That's the most. Fourth grade, funniest thing you've. I laughed out loud at the fact they were having a jacket off.

[Amy]

Okay, you can explain to me later.

[Caitlin]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Do you need to have that explained to you?

[Caitlin]

There's no way. Jeremy doesn't know what this means.

[Amy]

Okay, you were talking about jerseys, and then you said, let's wear jackets.

[Bobby]

Then they were wearing sports jackets, and one of them goes, we should have a jacket off.

[Amy]

A jacket.

[Bobby]

Ew.

[Amy]

Yeah, it was just a. Yeah, I get it now.

[Bobby]

Yeah. If you're like. For a young eighth grader like us, that's funny, right?

[Caitlin]

Yeah. It's our demo.

[Bobby]

Yes, it's us. So do you know the song Shel Silverstein wrote, Amy?

[Amy]

I do not.

[Bobby]

You do know it. You just don't know he wrote it.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

It does not have a chorus.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

It is a very famous song that the person who is singing it is one of the most famous country artists of all time. And the person's dead.

[Amy]

Most famous country artist of all time

[Bobby]

and the artist is dead. Yes.

[Amy]

Johnny Cash.

[Bobby]

Yes. Okay. Boom. Okay, what Johnny Cash song does not have a chorus?

[Amy]

And then I fell into the burning ring of fire. Is that the chorus?

[Bobby]

That is a chorus.

[Caitlin]

That would be the chorus.

[Amy]

I know. So not that one. Folsom Prism Blues.

[Bobby]

So it. No, but it was recorded live at San Quentin.

[Amy]

This song was.

[Caitlin]

Was it only live? Was that the only thing available?

[Bobby]

I could be wrong on that, but it's the one that I associate with.

[Amy]

Is. Is June on it?

[Bobby]

No, June is not, but there is a woman's name in it.

[Amy]

Oh, Smedy Sue.

[Bobby]

Yeah, Sue.

[Amy]

Sue. Oh, Boy Named Sue.

[Bobby]

So A Boy Named Sue.

[Amy]

Oh, that tracks.

[Bobby]

A Boy Named sue was written by Shel Silverstein, and Johnny Cash performed it, sang it, became a massive song for him. And I don't know, I just thought, that's kind of cool.

[Caitlin]

That's really cool.

[Amy]

Yeah. No, I had no idea.

[Bobby]

He never intended to write. Not Johnny Cash. Shel Silverstein never was going to write kids books. And his friend was like, you should write kids books, and kind of dragged him to do it. And so he also. He wrote differently. He did, like, cartoon stuff for Playboy. Really?

[Amy]

How do you know all this?

[Bobby]

I'm a Shel Silverstein fan.

[Amy]

Really?

[Bobby]

Only because I. Rabbit hole. Oh, rabbit hole. Boy Named Sue a long time ago and then found out that Shel Silverstein was a writer. He also served in the war, was a military guy. I Don't know.

[Caitlin]

What are his big books?

[Bobby]

Giving Tree.

[Caitlin]

Okay. Never heard of that one.

[Bobby]

That's the one you gave us, right?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby]

Oh, which one did you give us?

[Amy]

Where the Sidewalk Ends.

[Caitlin]

Yeah, I've heard of that one.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Amy]

It's all the different poems, the Giving Tree.

[Bobby]

Uncle Shelby, you don't really read books, though. But also, I don't know if I don't know how known these are. Again, I went down the rabbit hole of Shel Silverstein. He wrote. Mike, we may google this on the COVID of the Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone.

[Caitlin]

And I'm getting my picture on the COVID

[Bobby]

Doctor.

[Caitlin]

Well, that's cool.

[Bobby]

Dr. Hook in the Medicine show. I think is artist in that. Let me see. Oh, it is. Doctor. Oh, I don't make sure he wrote it, though. Dr. Hook in the Medicine show cover of The Rolling Stone 1974 album. Shel Silverstein. Yep. Boom.

[Caitlin]

Take all kinds of pills.

[Bobby]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Caitlin]

I had no idea he wrote that.

[Bobby]

But just such a Forrest Gump type life. Yeah, and cool looking guy too. Like bald head dude, little facial hair. But Amy, the other part of that was I thought it was a good visit.

[Amy]

Oh, good.

[Bobby]

Not that I don't always think it's a good visit, but at some points I'll check myself out.

[Amy]

Oh, you didn't.

[Bobby]

Did I check myself out at all yesterday when you came over?

[Amy]

I don't think so.

[Bobby]

I never left. Yeah, I never left. And so.

[Amy]

Yeah, I thought you might. I didn't anticipate. I mean, you being there the whole time, I thought Caitlin. A lot of times, if I've sat on that couch with her, it's just me and her.

[Caitlin]

Did you plan the visit? Cause I was thinking about just dropping by the other day.

[Bobby]

Oh, please don't. But with Amy? Yes, because Caitlin said, Amy's gonna drop something by in a little bit. And I was like, great.

[Amy]

And so which I was supposed to come by Saturday, but then my dog ate the book, so I had to order a new one, but it came overnight, so then I switched to Sunday.

[Bobby]

Got it. So it was planned. We actually did a drop by on somebody yesterday, and my. And my wife said if somebody just dropped by on us, you would not like it. I said, that's correct. She goes, but you're going to drop by on somebody? I said, yes. She said, I guess it just depends who that person is and if they'd like a drop by. And I said, I think that's accurate. We were walking yesterday with. We were walking Eller, and we walked By Tom's house. My manager, but also my friend. And Tom likes a drop by. Yeah, he'd be a drop by.

[Caitlin]

He's a drop by for sure.

[Bobby]

A drop by.

[Amy]

I like drop bys.

[Bobby]

You do?

[Caitlin]

Yeah, they're the best. Didn't you like dropping by?

[Bobby]

Well, we were walking by his house and I said, hey, he loved it. I said I'm dropping a pin as we walk by your house. If you want to walk outside, if you're at home, come on out. And so they walked out and we talked to him for a little bit.

[Caitlin]

That's awesome.

[Bobby]

Yeah, it was good. But after a while I was like, I blamed on the dog. It's like she really needs to go. She's got to get to walking.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So. But we did a drop by for me. I don't. Why am I against drop bys? Let me think about this. Why would I be against drop.

[Amy]

You've never been a drop by.

[Bobby]

Yeah. No, no. For somebody dropping by the house. Why would I?

[Caitlin]

Even if I was gonna drop by, I'm not staying for very long. It's just a quick drop by.

[Amy]

Yeah. If it's a pop in, you definitely don't say. If it's an unannounced drop by, you don't stay long.

[Caitlin]

Unless you haven't seen them in like 20 years.

[Bobby]

Maybe I'm not anti. Depending on the person.

[Amy]

I wouldn't drop by your house and

[Bobby]

thank you for that.

[Amy]

And I've known you ever 20 or. I don't think so. No, I wouldn't. I mean if you were gone and Caitlin was home, I might. I'm not dropping by if you're there like because I just know you're not. Because I guess something either. Either there's been an underlying tone or you've said directly at some point over the years.

[Bobby]

I'm not a drop by guy.

[Amy]

I'm not a drop by guy. So like I respect that.

[Bobby]

And then I think it's. I'm thinking about it now I gotta

[Caitlin]

put clothes on because you're naked.

[Bobby]

Well, my house I'm gonna cut off and who knows what I'm wearing on the bottom half. And then I gotta put the dogs up for the most part. Because even though we're like training them not to jump on people and then may. I don't know, I'm just not a drop by guy. But mostly in life I'm pretty rigid about schedule and.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Who goes? I don't know. Maybe I should change that about me. Maybe you guys test it. Maybe you Guys should test it out by randomly dropping by. See how I do after that.

[Caitlin]

I'm not doing it.

[Amy]

I guess we could try it together.

[Bobby]

Yeah, just test me.

[Caitlin]

Just in case we have each other.

[Amy]

Yeah, like if we get rejected, it won't feel for whatever reason. The gate code suddenly not working.

[Bobby]

Amy dropped by yesterday and I thought it was a good visit.

[Amy]

A planned drop by.

[Caitlin]

Yes. And we just discussed that.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And we. Yeah. So good visit. A. And how long? Half hour solid. What do you think? It's half hour.

[Danielle Fishel]

Wow.

[Amy]

It was longer than half hour, but that's good. It felt like a half hour deal.

[Caitlin]

How long was it then?

[Amy]

It was almost an hour.

[Bobby]

Oh, strong.

[BetterHelp Announcer]

Wow.

[Bobby]

A strong performance.

[Danielle Fishel (Pod Meets World Promo)]

Wow.

[Caitlin]

Do you guys have any. Do you eat anything? Like drink?

[Bobby]

No, because the time was at like 2 or something. Or 3, 4. Yeah, but you offer like daylight savings. Daylight savings.

[Caitlin]

You'd be like, amy, you want a coffee or anything? Like, can I get you anything?

[Bobby]

I never offered anything.

[Amy]

No, but that's a drop by.

[Bobby]

Dude, you know why I think I don't offer? Because I want people to stay.

[Caitlin]

That's it. You want them to go.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

You don't want her to get comfortable.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I'm aware of that. But also I fully. It's just now registering with me that you stayed the entire time in the room. Because I fully anticipated that I would be coming by and hanging with Caitlyn. I see you all the time.

[Bobby]

But I enjoyed it. I thought we had a really. I didn't say. I didn't say much. I didn't have to say much.

[Amy]

I guess so much. So it wasn't weird. But now that it's being brought to my attention, I am having like a aha moment of like, oh, my gosh, Bobby did sit there the whole time.

[Caitlin]

You're saying with Amy, you don't have to say much, just kind of let it roll.

[Amy]

No, we all talked.

[Caitlin]

Yeah, I didn't say much.

[Bobby]

I didn't talk a whole lot. I was just enjoying the conversation. Just catching up. Amy and I don't get to catch up on life. Life a whole lot because everything.

[Amy]

Yeah, there was some life catch up.

[Bobby]

Everything here is. So as soon as we get here, we go and we exhaust every second of everybody's time. We get as much done we possibly can for like 10 different things until it's time to go. And then I go, okay, everybody's cut. And then everybody goes. And so sometimes Amy will go, hey, can we go in your office to talk for a minute? And I usually know that's not about work. It's about something we just haven't caught up on. And so then. But yesterday was. There was no work at all.

[Amy]

No. And I was excited to. I've had that book since your baby shower, but I forgot to put it out with the rest of the books so it didn't get taken.

[Bobby]

And that's what Caitlin did for a baby shower. Because we don't.

[Amy]

Yeah, they didn't want gifts.

[Bobby]

We didn't need gifts, but. But everybody wants to get us a gift. This is something I've had to learn is like, let people get you a gift. And so Caitlin's like, oh, it'd be cool. Why don't you get a bunch of books for the baby?

[Amy]

And that's a book that Stashira like. I mean, I don't know. When I think of, like, my kids, I just think of this book. And that's something that, you know, they've liked when they were little. And then also, as Stashira's what, she's almost 19 and she still has her copy of this book. So it's a book that can be. Adults can enjoy. Cause a lot of kids books, it's like, okay, this is clearly for the kid, but this is a book that.

[Bobby]

I think I must have read that so long ago that I do not remember. Have you read it?

[Amy]

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

[Caitlin]

Whimsy.

[Amy]

Yeah, more whimsy, less worried. That's right.

[Bobby]

Amy, give me your time with something

[Amy]

good so I have something exciting on the horizon. I went to the grocery store this weekend and I got two cans of sardines.

[Bobby]

Are you doing the face stuff?

[Amy]

No, I'm gonna eat them.

[Bobby]

Oh.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

What? That's exciting.

[Bobby]

Remember the story?

[Amy]

I know you said to put them on your face, but. No, it's just something that I'm Looking forward to this week in the culinary space because I don't. I got one can and oil and one can in water, so I don't know which one's going to be better. But I've seen a lot of people cooking them like an air fryer or.

[Caitlin]

Cooking them.

[Amy]

Yeah, they smash. Like you take them out of the candy.

[Bobby]

Oh, you actually eat them raw. Yeah.

[Caitlin]

Because you can eat those things raw.

[Amy]

I don't think I can do that. I don't think I can do that. But smash it down with a fork and make it like a fish. I don't know.

[Caitlin]

Smash patty.

[Amy]

And then you can air fry it for a little bit with like some salt and pepper or seasonings. I don't know if people have been into this. I've just heard, look, sardines are having a moment. And I'm excited to finally get on board.

[Bobby]

So it's like, it's the 20, 26 avocado guys. Get with it.

[Amy]

Yes, yes. So I'll report back, but that's what I have em out on my counter. So that's probably what I'm gonna be having dinner.

[Bobby]

Edward.

[Caitlin]

So on Friday, it was awesome. My kids, I don't know, one of my boys has been wanting to play golf. He's asked me for weeks and on Friday, I said, you know what? I'm going to take him out of school early and I'm going to take him to the golf course. So me and two of my boys, we played around a golf, just us three, and it was so much fun. They knew the rules because they've been doing. They've been on teams. Like, they've been doing classes on how to, like, play golf. So they were, they were, they were like on time. They weren't slow. They weren't hitting 20 balls. Like, it was fun. It was a fun time on the golf course with my two boys, which is cool. I've been looking forward to this moment for so long because I love golf. And now that I can share it with them, I'm so pumped about it.

[Bobby]

And they weren't jumping in the water.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

No.

[Bobby]

Putting mud on each other. No.

[Caitlin]

They weren't fighting. They weren't like throwing clubs like Lunchbox does.

[Bobby]

Like, it was, oh, dang.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

Well, you know, there was no need. Well, there was no need to throw strays there.

[Caitlin]

I'm just thinking of, like, what don't you want to happen at a golf course? Somebody disgruntled throwing clubs. They didn't do that.

[Bobby]

Throw strays?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

Out of nowhere, are they able to drive the golf cart. Like, how does that work now?

[Caitlin]

We walked. Oh, even better. This may, this may be the best part of it, is there's an app that I sign them up for. They get to play for $5. We have to walk. There's no card or anything, but they can play any municipal course in America for $5.

[Bobby]

What. What's the app?

[Caitlin]

It's called Youth on course. So you sign up free membership there? I think their golf coach sent it to me. We signed them up and it was $10 for them to play. We walked.

[Bobby]

That's great.

[Caitlin]

Unbelievable.

[Bobby]

Lunchbox.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

I'm home.

[Bobby]

Yeah, it's a big one.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

That's. That's just it.

[Bobby]

People could confuse that with you saying that the cruise wasn't fun. No, no, no.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

See, the cruise is fun, but I needed some time. I. I need to recover. Like, I can't keep going for a hundred days on that cruise. Like, it was awesome for the 12 days that we were on board.

[Caitlin]

And that number keeps getting like seven longer and longer.

[Bobby]

Yeah, that number.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

Was it seven?

[Bobby]

Yeah, maybe eight.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, they

[Amy]

were gone a total of eight. Yeah. But on the boat.

[Bobby]

Oh, got it. That makes sense.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

Okay, so. Yes, but just after a while you're just really tired. Like, I needed some rest. I need to recuperate. So it feels good to be home. The cruise was awesome, but it feels good to be home also. Both can be true.

[Caitlin]

Did you guys feel like when you got back home sleeping on your bed, you weren't like moving or anything?

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

Can I be honest?

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

I had PCs.

[Amy]

What is that?

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

Post crew syndrome? I would get in the shower and I felt like I was moving. Like I was like, well, this is weird.

[Bobby]

Like jump on a trampoline, you get off, you're still feeling like. It was so weird.

[Guest (possibly Bobby's friend or family member)]

Like I was like, oh man. I'd put my hand on the wall, I'm not moving. That's so weird.

[Bobby]

Do we add that to his list of diseases?

[Caitlin]

Sure.

[Bobby]

Because man, we got a list that's pretty long.

[Amy]

PCs.

[Bobby]

All right, there you go. Good job. That's. Tell me something good.

[BetterHelp Announcer]

That was.

[Bobby]

Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Bobby something good. A 10 year old kid named Honey Cooper. I'm going to say it again. A 10 year old kid has dual enrolled in a college and is in an art class. Especially where she's kind of crushing it. According to her mom, Mia Cooper, the fourth grade has been showing advanced abilities and started to see them at 18 months old. When she taught herself to read.

[Amy]

18 months.

[Caitlin]

18 months old. Is she a genius?

[Bobby]

I would think so if she's 10 and in college. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, I don't think that's a stretch, but she balances her studies for her normal school between the two schools because she's doing double college right now. She wants to be a surgeon, an artist, or a fashion designer. What I'm excited about is this kid who obviously the brain works different. They're also motivated and they don't want to be a YouTuber. Yeah, because that's where it kind of goes wrong. Like you have all this potential and then you want to be a YouTuber and you're like, oh, you can be a doctor. But big shout out. San Bernardino 10 year old honey Cooper is crushing it in school at Kimbark Elementary School and has dual enrolled in college.

[Caitlin]

That's crazy.

[Bobby]

She has a. Because if she's 10, what grade would that be? Fourth grade.

[Danielle Fishel]

Fourth and fifth grade.

[Bobby]

Yeah. She has like a seventh and eighth grade math level and a 12th grade reading level.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Caitlin]

Right now you imagine being in that class like in college and you're like, ugh, hungover from a party and you're sitting next to a 10 year old.

[Amy]

I bet her classes are online.

[Bobby]

Oh, yeah, no, I don't know about that.

[Amy]

I said, I bet.

[Bobby]

I'll take that bet. You want to regret count the best it's ever been.

[Caitlin]

Ooh, yes.

[Danielle Fishel (Pod Meets World Promo)]

Yes.

[Bobby]

That's from People magazine. That's what it's all about.

[BetterHelp Announcer]

That was.

[Bobby]

Tell me something good. It's time for the Good News with

[Amy]

producer Eddie

[Caitlin]

Old Woody, he's A World War II veteran from Salem, Kentucky. Guys, he just turned a hundred years old and the whole city was like, we need to celebrate Woody. His family, friends, they threw a big party. And then Commander John Driscoll from the US Navy came in and proclaimed February 27th Charles Woody Curry Day.

[Bobby]

Love a good Woody Day.

[Caitlin]

That's pretty cool.

[Bobby]

Yeah, that's. I got my own day once. I got Monde twice. Once for getting MTV in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

[Caitlin]

You got your own day for that?

[Bobby]

Yeah. I don't know if that ever came up in the part of the story. Hot Springs never had MTV and I fought for it. It's one of my first radio bits when I was in Hot Springs and I got the cable company to take mtv.

[Caitlin]

That's amazing.

[Amy]

Wow. I didn't know that.

[Caitlin]

Yeah. He just.

[Amy]

Was it forever your day or just that day?

[Bobby]

You can claim every day at that point. I think it's like a list.

[Caitlin]

Like you can't double up the day, Right?

[Bobby]

I can do crimes though, on that day. If I go home, I can do crimes on that day.

[Caitlin]

And you're good.

[Bobby]

Yeah. And then I got in Austin, I have a day. So I have one in Hot Springs and one in Austin.

[Amy]

Nice.

[Caitlin]

You should celebrate those days.

[Bobby]

I just get confused which city I want to do crimes in on those days. But that's great that he got a day. Just great that he got recognized like that, guys.

[Caitlin]

And he's still like, he's 100 years old. Like, I'm sure when you go to war, you're like, I may never come back. Not only that, you turned 100 years old.

[Bobby]

That's crazy. You should get a day for just turning 100.

[Caitlin]

Right?

[Bobby]

Good story. That's what it's all about.

[BetterHelp Announcer]

That was.

[Bobby]

Tell me something good.
