A (2:45)

Her pace is to finish quick.

D (2:47)

Yeah. And it's. I'm just very impressed with her dedication and her grind. Like, any free time she has, she is working on school, and it's kind of crazy. And she's making great grades. Like, everything she's turning in is doing well. You know how a while ago I had to get certified to be the homeschool? Remember, I had to submit like I.

A (3:07)

Do now that you say that. But I forgot about Miss Amy, though.

B (3:10)

Yeah.

D (3:11)

Yeah. So luckily there's other people involved, but I had to be, like, the. I had to be the person that's sort of in charge. But she's really in charge. Like, she's going to be 19 in April, and she's finishing, like. And she's already taken some college stuff, too. So I'm just so, like, as a mom, I'm very proud of her. And also just that she's able to be at a pace she already felt behind anyway, because when we adopted her, English being her second language, like, she felt older than all of her peers. And so now this is kind of putting her back ahead, and that's done something for her confidence.

A (3:46)

Is this her graduating?

D (3:47)

Yeah.

A (3:47)

So you say she's almost done. Like, she's almost done.

D (3:50)

Yeah. And she'll be done with school. But she was still invited to prom by somebody from her high school, and she still. Because she started the year at the school, so she's still in the yearbook. And then you bought an ad because she was on the yearbook committee, remember?

A (4:04)

Oh, yeah. What if I bought the ad and she wasn't in school there anymore? They're like, what a weird.

D (4:07)

Well, she's technically not, but I talked to the yearbook committee, and they're like, no, we're good. So the ad's still running, and it says, stasher, we're so proud of you. Like, love, Bobby and Caitlin. And so that will still be in there. And it looks like she's hopefully going to get to go to the prom if she ends up accepting her invitation.

A (4:23)

But they do a big promposal.

D (4:26)

He didn't. He just.

A (4:28)

Is that something that happens at their.

C (4:30)

School a lot, though?

D (4:31)

I think it was just Snapchat.

E (4:33)

Oh, that's how they do it now.

A (4:36)

I would also believe that would be how they would do it.

D (4:37)

Right. I don't know. I think that promposals. I have no idea if some people still do It. But like, she went to prom with the same guy last year and I don't think it was anything crazy. So I don't know if some people are still holding onto the promposals and others are kind of letting it go. Kind of like, you know, fads come and go. I think she's okay with it not being extravagant though. She doesn't like attention like that.

A (5:00)

Well, congratulations.

D (5:01)

So I just, yeah, as a mom, feeling a little proud today because I couldn't believe when I was looking at her stuff, how far along she is. Yesterday I was like, oh my gosh, you're almost done.

A (5:10)

Lunchbox. Tell me something good.

C (5:12)

I went to the doctor yesterday for the fourth time in the last few days. They went for what?

A (5:17)

Boy, you have like nine things wrong with you.

F (5:19)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

C (5:21)

They wanted to do a follow up. Just wanted to make sure that I was healing properly. And she walked in the room, she goes, wow, you look great. Checked everything out and gave me the all clear.

A (5:34)

For what, though? You had strep throat. You had a swollen testicle. You have a stomach issue.

C (5:38)

Oh, oh, oh. From the strep throat and the swelling of the face and everything that was going on with that.

E (5:43)

Well, we could have told you that.

A (5:44)

Well, yeah. Also, were you guys confused as to which part of his body he was talking about?

C (5:48)

Apologies. I like when something happens, you forget about the other things. And I forgot about the lower region for a little bit and I was just concentrating on this. It was just a follow up visit for my strep throat, my swollen eyes, my swollen cheeks, my swollen face, my tongue, my lips. But she said everything is good to go. Congratulations. Looks like you are on the straight and narrow.

D (6:12)

Well, for that, for that.

A (6:14)

Did you tell her about your testicle?

C (6:15)

No, this is a different doctor. She doesn't need to know about that. I've got so many other doctors for that. I don't think she can help me with this one.

D (6:21)

But so now that you don't have the distraction of the strep pain and the swollen face, like, has the pain in the other parts come back?

C (6:28)

No, not, not yet, today.

D (6:30)

Okay, that's good.

E (6:32)

That's a good question. Whenever they ask, like, is there anything else that we can help you with? Is that the time to tell them, like, well, I have a swollen testicle.

A (6:39)

What doctor asks, is there anything else I can help you with?

E (6:40)

Like, you know, chick fil A? No, like, you never been asked that when you go and you get your throat checked or whatever, like, all right, so that's it.

A (6:46)

Anything else we can get you?

E (6:47)

Anything else you need? They never tell you that.

D (6:49)

I mean, I guess I could see them asking that.

A (6:51)

I don't think I've ever had a doctor like, all right, anything else going on I can get you before you get out of here?

E (6:56)

Yeah, they tell me that all the time.

C (6:57)

I know.

D (6:58)

That's a valid question.

C (6:59)

That is how they found my tuberculosis. I was leaving the doctor. I went to the general practitioner for a minute, and I was there for. Because I think I'd broken my toe or something. And I was just getting it looked at, and he goes, anything else? I said, oh, yeah, one more thing. Like, I do sweat at night when I sleep. And he's like, what do you mean, sweat at night? So he did what Eddie said. He asked me, is there anything else?

D (7:20)

You know, sometimes they're like, why do I ask? Yeah.

C (7:23)

Oh, great.

A (7:24)

Like, if I go in for a physical, which our insurance demands, at times I think they'll go, what's wrong with. My doctor has never said, if I go in for a broken foot. All right, anything wrong with your eyes? Anything? How's your knee? I just never. I never get that kind of service. Maybe I need a better doctor.

E (7:39)

Because that's your general practitioner, right? Like, usually the ones like, well, tell me what else is going on.

A (7:44)

Yeah, that's the doctor I go to, though.

E (7:46)

That's weird.

A (7:47)

My doctor don't care about me.

D (7:49)

Maybe you start saying it. Is there anything else you want to ask me?

A (7:54)

Then what do they ask you back? Is there anything you have?

E (7:56)

It's a stalemate.

A (7:58)

All right. Eddie, you.

E (7:59)

So today is my son's birthday. And that's cool. It's great. It's awesome.

A (8:04)

But why do you say it like that?

E (8:05)

Because it's the last of all three birthdays. Like, after this one, we got a break until September. And it's like, ugh. Cause I've had two birthdays in January, this one in February. And it's like, yeah, that's a lot, dude. Birthday parties, a lot of planning. And then my wife always gets these balloons that she wants me to blow up and put on the wall. And they're those huge. It's almost like for a prom. And it says, happy Birthday. They're really big. You need a straw to blow it up. It's so annoying. And every birthday, she's just like, I got the balloons you gotta blow up. So I did that last night. It's just a lot.

A (8:36)

Did you do them for the other kids?

D (8:37)

Yeah, every kid you can't save some of the. Like, if they're. That their birthdays are that close together.

A (8:43)

Or do they hand me down balloons?

D (8:44)

Different colors.

E (8:45)

Those balloons deflate.

D (8:46)

Oh, they do.

A (8:47)

Okay. Yeah.

E (8:48)

So anyway, it's cool that it's his birthday, and we're excited. We're gonna do fun stuff. He wants to do, like mini golf. It's gonna be fun. It's just like, all right, after this one got a break.

A (8:57)

That's how I feel about all these celebrations in regards to my wife. It's not about my wife, but it's just so many in a row because it's Christmas, a week and a half later, her birthday, then Valentine's Day, and then also now we're gonna have other things. Well, anniversary is one.

E (9:16)

Yes.

A (9:16)

Now there's gonna be a kid.

E (9:19)

Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot to keep up with.

A (9:21)

So how many of these things?

D (9:22)

You're definitely gonna have to put your kid's birthday in your calendar.

A (9:25)

I'll remember that.

E (9:26)

Oh, you'll remember that.

D (9:27)

Okay.

A (9:28)

You're not my kid.

E (9:29)

And it's only one.

A (9:30)

You're not. And I did remember your birthday.

E (9:33)

Oh, she's saying because you forgot about it.

A (9:34)

Yeah, that's all about her birthday. Remember both of them. If you put me on the spot, I remembered them.

E (9:38)

All right. What are they?

A (9:39)

21St.

E (9:40)

Whose is that?

A (9:41)

Amy's.

E (9:43)

That's mine.

C (9:44)

Oh, dang.

A (9:45)

16Th, 15th.

E (9:49)

You still can't remember?

B (9:50)

I do.

A (9:51)

They're just not there right now. But I remember the 21st.

D (9:53)

Yeah, but you would think after 20 years, you would remember. March 18th.

A (9:57)

18Th. That's what I meant. 18th. Sorry about that. Yeah. March 18th. It's fine, Bones.

That's redfin.com so my tell me something good. I don't know if you'll think it's cool or not, but you know how sometimes, Amy, you'll see boxes of shirts get donated to third world countries for teams that didn't win the championship?

D (13:16)

Yes.

A (13:17)

So if the Patriots would have won the Super bowl this year there were a lot of shirts that would have said Patriots, NFL champions, but they didn't. But the shirts were already made in case they won. So immediately they take those shirts, they ship them off to another part of the world because they don't want them existing with me.

D (13:32)

Right, okay.

A (13:34)

In 1994, Arkansas won a basketball championship. In 95 they went to the final game and lost. A friend of mine sent me a jacket and a hat that they took from the locker room before they mailed them back. So like the hat that I have on says razor. Back to back championships, 94, 95. So this is a hat that we would have got had we won that second championship. That doesn't exist.

D (13:54)

Wait, they took it way back then.

A (13:56)

They've always done that. They don't want that gear.

D (14:00)

I mean in 1994, so no.

A (14:03)

So in 94 we won. In 95 we were in the championship game.

D (14:06)

So in 95 that hat is from 95. And you have a friend that took it?

A (14:10)

That and a jacket. Because my friend was coaching at the school where they had the championship game. So he went in the locker room after they lost and took a hat and a shirt. He was moving and he said, hey, I've never used these. I've had these saved.

D (14:20)

Do you want to have it in like a pristine box?

A (14:23)

It's like they're both brand new. You gotta see the jacket. It's brand new as well. This is Back to back, 1995.

E (14:26)

J.P. that's amazing.

D (14:28)

Thirty years old.

A (14:29)

Yeah.

D (14:30)

And it's widespread new.

A (14:31)

White as crap, huh?

D (14:32)

Yeah. So yeah, that's pretty cool.

A (14:34)

I'm pretty cool.

D (14:35)

Yeah. I mean I find that good.

E (14:38)

Is that worth a lot of money? Like.

A (14:40)

Cuz I don't think so because one.

E (14:42)

It never happened and two, like there's.

A (14:44)

I mean I just imagine it's a different timeline where we did win back to back championships and I'm wearing this because it really happened. Okay. Okay, so that's one. Number two, I had an ankle rehab last night and I think I may only have one or two left because I ran on the treadmill and we have something that's we, they own it. It's called the anti gravity treadmill. Ever been on one of those?

D (15:03)

No.

A (15:04)

So you basically get in and it wraps around your waist and it blows up air. And for me, I'm able to run at 70% of my body weight. So the air ends up taking a lot of the impact off, like almost like you're floating. And I ran the whole time and only have mild soreness today, so biggest leap for me as far as my ankle rehabilitation. I'm starting boxing back again today, which is nice because I haven't been able to do anything. My doctor's cleared me.

D (15:29)

Are you going to. You can do the footwork or do you just. Are you going to box? You know, because I feel like all that tiptoeing around, like I'm going to do the footwork like a butterfly. That might be dangerous.

A (15:39)

I don't know if I have much butterfly. Butterfly left in me, but.

D (15:40)

But you just use upper body.

A (15:42)

No, no, no. I will box. I just can't run yet.

D (15:47)

I know. Okay. Are you going to be in a ring?

A (15:49)

You spar.

D (15:50)

Well, I'm thinking, because rings are designed like that, the buoyancy, like, it's. It'd probably be easier on your foot or your ankle.

A (15:57)

No, no, I'm. I'm going hard.

F (15:58)

Okay.

D (15:59)

I'm. See, I'm worried about that.

A (16:00)

I think it's not running, it's boxing. It's different.

D (16:03)

It's okay.

A (16:05)

It's definitely different.

D (16:06)

Definitely.

A (16:07)

So that's what I'm doing today.

D (16:09)

Have you considered water jogging?

A (16:11)

In what?

D (16:13)

You have a pool.

A (16:14)

It's broken and empty.

D (16:15)

Oh, that's right.

A (16:17)

There's a big crack in the bottom of it that we still haven't fixed.

E (16:19)

Sore subject.

D (16:20)

Yeah, I know. Very sore. Sorry. Well, at your facility, they may have pool. I don't know.

A (16:25)

I don't like going to the facility. Because you go to the facility, it takes 20 minutes to get there. You got to park in a parking garage. It's a half, 40 minutes just to get into the place.

D (16:33)

Okay. I'm just saying there's a little harness you get into and you water jog.

A (16:36)

I'm not a dog. They do have those for my dog. Like when my dog had ACL surgery. Yeah, no, I'm good. I've been given the clearance by my doctor to box. Just not run yet. And then yesterday I was leaving the hospital because that's where my rehab place is, and I saw somebody in a Pimp and Joy sweatshirt. And so they were walking out, and I was driving out of the parking garage, and I said, hey, nice shirt. And she thought I was, like, hitting on her. And I didn't put those together. And she was like, thanks. And I said, no, no, we made those. And she's totally confused because she's just walking about her day in a parking garage, and she's like, huh? And again, she's trying to determine if I'M yelling at her because I'm hitting on her and I'm not hitting on her. And then I realize I'm in deeper than I should be. Like, I should just drive off at this point because it's now awkward. She's looking at me and she should I walk closer to the car, try to figure it out or should I run? I see this happening in her head and she takes another step forward and she looks and she goes, oh, you're buying bones. I was like, oh, thank God. And so I said, yes. She said, oh, my mom gifted me this like 10 years ago as a black one. And I was like, that's awesome. And so that was it. That's the end of the story. But it could have gone really wrong.

D (17:44)

No, those are good, mom. The gifting. The gifted ones are hard because I think a lot of people gifted pimpinjoy like, especially if they were going through something difficult and I've had it happen where, yeah, they are listeners and they know right away. Or they're like, what are you talking? Like, I don't know this. My friend gave me this.

A (17:59)

I borrowed it. I don't know what this means. Yeah.

D (18:02)

And I'm like, okay. Just kidding.

A (18:04)

So that happened yesterday too.

D (18:06)

I love that.

A (18:07)

Yeah, it almost turned out bad.

D (18:10)

No, you were fine.

A (18:11)

She takes a picture of me and posted on social media this guy was hitting on me from the car. That had been a nightmare.

D (18:16)

Yeah.

A (18:16)

So there you go. I guess I have three mild ones. Stanley goes back to training today. He goes on Mondays and Wednesdays. Didn't love it on Monday. I've been told, like, we just flopped down. Like, this sucks. I'm not doing this anymore. He's a seven year old bulldog. What do you expect? That's what I say.

D (18:33)

Yeah.

A (18:33)

So he'll go back today, but yeah, a lot of good stuff. Arkansas plays tonight.

D (18:37)

Who?

A (18:38)

They play Alabama. Big game. Two top 25 teams battling it out.

D (18:42)

Huge.

A (18:42)

I thought about going.

D (18:45)

Oh, it would be. Where is it?

A (18:47)

Tuscaloosa.

D (18:48)

Oh, yeah, that's not bad. Down and back.

A (18:50)

Pregnant wife.

E (18:52)

So you're not going.

D (18:55)

Down and back real quick.

B (18:58)

Real quick.

D (18:58)

She's like, same night down the road.

E (18:59)

Up and down the road.

A (19:00)

I mean, I would do that.

D (19:01)

I've done that. I had a family thing in Tuscaloosa.

A (19:04)

We haven't bowling in Tuscaloosa.

D (19:06)

In Tuscaloosa. Went down, we bowled, drove back.

A (19:10)

What's that drive? Five, six hours less. No, what's Tuscaloosa drive?

D (19:14)

It's not that. No.

A (19:15)

It's not that bad because we drove down once.

D (19:17)

I'm gonna say like three.

A (19:18)

No way. I'm gonna say you're crazy.

D (19:21)

Well, I live on the. I live souther than you.

A (19:25)

No, because you live in the south part of town does not mean that you're subtracting my five. Three and a half bam.

D (19:30)

What is that?

E (19:31)

You gotta do it.

A (19:32)

That's crazy.

D (19:33)

Like, you're trying to argue with me and I've driven it. And I almost started to believe you because I'm like. Well, he would probably know better than me.

A (19:40)

To be fair, I did ask for an answer. I wasn't sure. I just. I lost the argument. But it wasn't because I was sure.

C (19:44)

Wow.

A (19:45)

Good job.

D (19:45)

Thank you. Thanks.

A (19:47)

Maybe did you look at Tuscaloosa or Tuscaloosa? Because I was talking about Tuscaloosa.

D (19:52)

See, and it's probably because that's from where we are right now. Probably south. More south. Where I live. It's about three, which is what I said.

A (19:59)

Tuscaloosa is 332. See, that's what I thought. I was more on the over.

D (20:03)

Okay.

A (20:04)

You don't live much more south than I do.

D (20:06)

Okay, well, my aunt literally lives in Tuscaloosa.

A (20:09)

Okay, but I've been to your house. You can't use that as an argument. You live southerly. Anyway, all that's happening. So there you go. A lot of stuff going on. That is. Tell me something good. That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. Kids in LA neighborhoods are being offered free tickets at Disneyland for reporting illegal activity.

C (20:32)

Whoa.

E (20:33)

That's cool.

D (20:33)

Interesting.

A (20:37)

During a 30 day challenge. Man, if my kid turned me in.

C (20:42)

Yeah.

A (20:42)

For Disneyland tickets, I'm gonna be happy about that.

E (20:46)

Hey, those tickets are expensive, man.

A (20:48)

The initiative launched in response to complaints about issues including graffiti, vandalism, illegal dumping. All that I'm good with.

E (20:56)

Yeah.

A (20:57)

You know, I should be good with all. But I'm just saying it's fine line, like, your dad's stealing cable and your son turns him in. He's like, now you lose cable also.

D (21:06)

But then, like, if you turn your parents in, who takes you to Disney?

C (21:10)

That's a great point.

E (21:11)

You got to think about that.

D (21:12)

I think there isn't, like, turn isn't.

A (21:14)

Putting your way there.

D (21:16)

Your peers in.

A (21:17)

It just says crime.

C (21:19)

Yeah.

A (21:19)

It's not specifically parents, but yeah. So it begins with students at this environmental charter middle school will later expand to other schools. Participants can submit reports on this app and organizer said the program is designed to encourage young residents to take an active role in helping improve their communities. It's slippery slope, man.

C (21:36)

I just start snitching on everything.

A (21:38)

I know.

C (21:38)

Some people would, I know, just make everything up.

A (21:40)

It's a numbers game.

Last Thursday night there's a basketball game in Belmont, Massachusetts. It's two middle schools playing and after tip off, three minutes into the game, one of the coaches falls flat in his face and servant like what is happening? The other coach, he runs over, checks him out, his lips are blue, he's not breathing. And so he takes charge. One of the players go get an AED. Somebody call 91 1. And apparently this coach is also a doctor. So he knew exactly what to do. He put the ad on him, shocked him. Turns out he was having a heart attack. But the coach saved his life.

A (22:35)

C (22:36)
