It's time for the good news.

Do you want to go first?

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.

They have a traumatic experience as a kid.

I don't cut his head or something.

No, nothing like that.

I really don't know what it is.

It's just like this one little piece of control he holds on to 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 now that he's in track and he's running.

Why not let him grow his hair out though?

He doesn't want to grow.

He doesn't want to grow it out.

He doesn't want to grow it out.

He doesn't want to go out but he doesn't want to go to the barber.

Exactly.

Unless it's this 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 going to be with his dad,

he's going to be with me and then getting him out there because it's like 30 minutes away.

And so we're in now, five o'clock.

Just got the note and so I'm excited because he's going to like go into the weekend with

a good haircut and go into his track meet next week speaking of his running.

I gave you all an update the other day that he had a PR for his mile of 512.

He just hit 511.

He had a race like last night, 511.

Where were they racing?

Independence.

It was a track meet over here at school.

Yeah, no, it wasn't over here.

Everything was blocked.

We tried to go to our normal walk.

Everything was blocked.

So we're like, what's happening?

What was that noise?

Somebody's filming.

Like somebody just collapsed.

Sorry.

I collapsed over here.

It felt like it sounded like a body hitting the ground.

Morgan has the Amy sunglasses today.

Morgan, why are you wearing the sunglasses today?

My vertigo is back.

Oh, that's telling me to suck.

Yeah, not good news.

So yeah, I'm a little off-kilter, so I just dropped my phone on my laptop.

Is that really why?

Yeah, I'm just like my, what is it called?

Your motor functions are just not the same.

When you have vertigo, you're kind of all over the place.

So.

Did you drive into work?

I did.

Yeah.

I'm functioning better than I did last time, so.

Not a good answer for you to drive into work.

Not at all.

I, yes.

I think I'm okay, too.

My vestibular specialist says I'm okay, too.

She wants me to be doing active, like, things to try and give me back to normal, but.

Yeah, it's driving one of those.

I said, you shh.

No, man.

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

Yeah.

Going on a walk?

I can't drive through somebody else.

I can't even do work.

When did this come back?

This week, it happened Wednesday night when I was sleeping, and I just rolled over and

bed.

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

Nope.

I just rolled over and bed, and it happened again.

Oh, gosh.

Explain to us what vertigo feels like.

You know that tilt or ride that, if you go to one of those janky, like, set up circuses,

and that has that tilt or roll ride, or you stand up, 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.

Gravity ride.

Yeah.

The gravity ride, yeah.

Yes.

That's what it feels like if you try a walk, like, you're up against gravity, because your

body's constantly like pushing you towards a different direction.

What about you trying to drive?

There's another good question, man.

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, like, tries to look

to the ground or look up.

It's perpendicular things, it's called a parallel.

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

Yeah, I have to use my whole body to look left, like, I can't just, like, peek over my

shoulder.

I have to, like, turn my whole body to do it.

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

When were you in a neck brace?

High school football.

Oh, really?

They call me a murderful turtle, and I, yeah, you have to turn your whole body, it's what

it reminds me of.

Yeah.

I do wear a neck brace sometimes at night, so my head, because 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.

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

So should we just all do tell me something?

Why?

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

Well, I have a thigh.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's something.

And 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 so good.

I actually wanted to shout out barbers out there that make kids feel comfortable.

Shout out.

Shout out.

Shout out, right?

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

Yeah.

And you find the right person?

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

I was trying to be like, I was like, well, maybe, she's transferred to the beginning,

but man, she's fighting for it.

No, because I was trying to think of, like, how can I help her too, like, I mean, sometimes

we want to bail each other out, because we realized what we got, really ain't a lot.

So we do that.

We throw in the lifers over.

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.

It works, but I get it.

It's just not like super exciting.

No, tell me something suck.

One of your eyes won't open as much of your other one.

Okay.

Yeah.

And it's painful every time I play.

I can tell it's painful.

But I took some leave and I took, I have the sky cream in, which feels weird and gooey.

And then, you know, I'm just thinking positively.

I don't fix it.

Yeah.

Speaking of eyes, I give you a tell me something suck.

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, I've been putting these antibiotic eye drops

in his eye and it's not working.

It, my old 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 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.

Yeah.

It's like a natural reflex.

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.

He holds his eye open.

He's like, hey, hey.

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.

What?

Dang.

That's to tell me something suck.

You want to tell me something suck?

Yes.

But I can turn this 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 daddy and told the guys, we lose this game, we're predicted to lose this game.

We had 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 were 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, 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.

It was so late.

It was after 11.

Yeah.

For no reason.

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

Oh my.

Talking to yourself, like that help, like it.

But 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 going to 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.

Good job, man.

You know, how I talked to myself last night that might sound a little crazy, but it's just

me back.

It's about haircut.

Oh God.

No.

It's just about me practicing limsey.

I was getting ready for bed and I have this like night time 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

dropped 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 her, but

then I was like, oh, now I have to boil more water and all.

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.

Oh my God.

No, that's not.

You made a whole storyline.

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 to save my life, like that

cup was poisoned.

And I'm going to live it.

Is that whimsy or dementia?

No.

No, it's whimsy because instead of getting mad, what's the definition of whimsy?

Yeah.

Just being playful.

I would just be like, that's funny.

Luckily nobody cut their foot or positive.

No, the law of average is I'm going to drop a cup every 500 lifts or something.

Not the Germans tried to poison me.

World War II.

Ooh, I didn't think about that.

I just, 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 poison.

So I'm all good and I just scooped it in there and I made my cup and then I went up

stairs.

So were you drinking before that drink?

Yeah.

Did you have a girlfriend?

No.

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 was a no, I could have gotten annoyed and it could have gone another way.

But I just decided to be like, I'm alive.

Whatever works for you.

Yeah.

That sounded a little crazy though.

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

And then tell everyone else about it.

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

Yeah.

Are you good?

Yeah.

I've never worked for me.

Morgan, tell me something.

Suck for you.

It's probably just going to be your eyes, huh?

Oh, yeah.

It's the vertigo.

I mean, I guess it's your ears too.

It's your brain, right?

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.

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

sick, even if you feel sick, you don't have to come in even if something does demand

your physical presence.

You can not come in.

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 I 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.

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.

Yeah.

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.

Yeah.

I haven't had it.

So I'm trying to be open to this really is debilitating to some people like 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.

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 debilitating.

Oh, I do.

I have a few people that I wish it on.

Yeah.

It's not deadly.

Yeah.

I mean, there's inconvenience.

Maybe it is.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, Morgan, that sucks.

That's okay.

But yeah, I promise.

I believe you, by the way.

I believe you.

I believe you.

I believe you.

Thank you.

But I promise I won't come in if it's really bad.

A month, you know, like if I'm really letting vertigo take the entire toll.

So I really try and only be out if it's absolutely necessary.

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

Not really.

Okay.

Just where I am right now.

That day.

Yeah.

Eddie, yeah.

I haven't told me some set.

Okay.

Or good.

Well, I'll start with a suck.

Dealers choice.

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.

I thought about that last night watching the game.

Okay.

Is that a suck, man?

That doesn't suck something that you never got that you weren't expecting.

But it was in my head already.

It was in my head that like, oh my gosh, like we're going to go to the final four.

It's kind of a joke.

Yeah.

No, you were not.

You were really going to go.

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.

That's last weekend.

We just had the baby.

Oh, so final four would have been closer.

Indianapolis.

Oh.

I was thinking, what?

You're going to go West Coast, baby, Billy.

It was in San Jose.

Got it.

I wasn't going to go to that two four.

I have to spend the night.

We had gotten Indianapolis to come back that day.

So I said, hey, if Arkansas goes to final four, I told that he won't 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 going to 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.

It's a good point because why would I go, hey, if they make it, I'm going to go to 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.

We didn't even go.

For no reason.

Wasted.

Yeah.

Tell me something.

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.

But why did you make them stop?

Because they were doing too many sports and I had them pick one sport to not do, like

they were doing three sports.

They were doing football, basketball, and baseball.

And I said, you got to just pick two guys, this is too much because some of those sports

they intertwined and so like, we're doing two in one week or whatever.

So they chose baseball because they're kind of, they're a board 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 what, why'd you, what, because I said it's a vibe.

Is this lame?

Is this lame?

No, it's good.

This is really not good.

I'm with it.

Yeah, we're cool.

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

What, why does that sound so weird to you?

I don't know.

It's like, what's the vibe?

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

But is it a vibe?

Yeah, baseball season.

I feel like Amy can pull that off.

Well, it's a vibe.

Yeah.

But I didn't say anything.

But I just looked at her to see if she gave a reaction.

I was just going to be quiet.

I was more so just hoping his story was lame.

Since my last, I was like, I actually like your story.

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm really excited.

Well, you didn't keep fighting for it though.

Amy like went three rounds on her.

Here's why.

I was like, shout out to all the barbers.

She brought up stats.

She's like 17% of kids don't like going to the barbershop.

She can be traumatizing.

One point two percent have a barber like injury in the first two years.

Oh my gosh.

Do you have a good one?

A good story?

That was my good story.

Oh my gosh.

It is the head.

His kid.

Baseball star.

No, it's for me.

I love baseball season.

It's a vibe.

It's a vibe.

Okay.

It's a vibe.

Lunch box.

Tell me something sucks.

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

I'm sure you have a hundred things.

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.

That's a lot of snot.

And it's been going over 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 seven to two.

That kind of sucked.

That was embarrassing.

Oh, yeah.

The kids watching their dad play and he loses.

Yeah.

And then they said, did you get to play?

Yeah.

Yeah.

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

How many minutes are you getting these days?

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.

Oh, yeah.

Cause how do you run?

Well, some days of test to go as legs hitting one of those free on the other end.

Some days is better than others and 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.

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

Yes.

Cause I mean, I can't do anything else.

Like I just sit around and it's like, oh my gosh, I just want to do something.

And it gets a little bit of a adrenaline out and a competitive spirit, you know, a little

rage that I have built up.

Are you supposed to get adrenaline out?

Yeah.

It's like competitive like the juice, I guess competitive juices.

But then he went rage.

That's that's always in there.

Yeah, that we need to play soccer then because when he, it manifests itself in the room,

it ain't good.

It's not good.

It has that that competitive rage that they need to get out.

I'm not that competitive.

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

I kind of wish I was a little competitive.

I'm really not.

My wife's not that competitive either.

I'm just like, I don't get it.

Yeah.

But what's that?

Like what's something wrong with us?

Mm-hmm.

Think so.

Personality, right?

Last night we were talking about the baby and I was like, I can't wait for it 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.

It's so.

So I think that probably the competitiveness is probably a, there's probably a correlation

with type A personality.

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

Okay.

I think you're a, respond, yeah, it's good.

Yeah, I think that.

Responsible type B.

I don't think there's a, it's an insult to be a type B.

I don't think so either.

My wife, I love that.

It would be miserable being a type A.

No, no, I guess I was just curious 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 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, 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.

You're trying to poison you last night.

Yeah, something's up.

There's something there was something in that tea.

Yeah.

What?

Did that story not make sense?

Yeah, it's good.

I just thought.

Yeah, tell me something good.

Lunch box.

Yeah, the 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.

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

Major League Baseball season.

We don't, we don't, we don't really confuse you to clarify.

Okay.

No, I understood.

Yeah, you like it.

When you said it was opening day, I was like, well, it's been, you're not that got it.

Don't care about Major League, I'm going to 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.

So you're moving on to Cubs?

For the most part.

Yeah, for the most part.

Jersey?

Not Jersey guy.

No.

Not really.

Not really Jersey guy.

Scubb and Steve, do you want to do one?

Are you there?

Yes, I'm here.

Yeah.

Hello.

Give me a tell me something good.

Oh, okay.

Good is we started our football season.

I coached my kids flag football team.

See?

Is it a vibe?

It's a vibe.

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, 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 and I got hired like

you're getting paid.

Well, higher, but they asked me to do it 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 do like football

and the cool thing was is they came out there 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.

I was like, yeah, that's a creative kids win.

This is awesome.

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

Not good luck.

Thank you.

Tell me something, suck.

I was fired at those other coaches.

Well, I can get out of the flow.

For no reason.

But like those failures.

But they care so much 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.

He's tired.

He can't run anymore.

It's hot.

It's ridiculous.

How some coaches are with that young age group.

Okay.

All right.

Cool.

What about the suck?

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 I'm excited

about everything that's happening.

So yeah.

We shouldn't end on that.

That's there you go.

All right.

There it is.

Tell me something good.

That was tell me something good.

It's time for the good news.

With Bobby.

Tell me something good.

Leave it here.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Yeah.

Apparently this guy stopped by a royal farm store and forced to help for some fried chicken

and while he was there, he was going to grab a couple scratch-offs and he won 50 bucks

which is pretty cool.

And so he's like, well, let's get another one.

Million bucks.

Wow.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Yeah.

Cause he got chicken too, right?

Yeah.

That's where it's 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.

Listen to that.

That's from UPI.

Lunchbox, big lottery player.

What do you think about this?

Man, 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.

Really?

Yeah.

Let's say you get 600,000 after that, you can get you a boat for a really, you want to

pay off his mortgage.

Okay.

He's running out of it.

But let's say he's got 200,000 left on his mortgage.

He pays that.

He's still got 400,000.

He buys 100,000 on a boat.

A really nice boat.

100,000.

So get 300,000.

Well, that boat keeps.

Okay.

100,000 on upkeep of the boat.

You got 200,000.

You want to slip in all that?

Yeah.

And then he wants a beach house to go with the boat.

Yeah.

It's still, I can say, 50,000 for his kids.

All right.

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.

Yeah.

There's something good.

Sometimes you think to make an impact on people's lives.

You have to do something big.

Grant.

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 that they different.

Crowns.

Yeah.

For listeners that don't get that like broken crowns still cover.

Crowns.

Huh?

Broken crowns still color because like a crown, even if it's broken still colors, it's

saying like that's not what we're alluding to.

It's that you say crown like a king.

Where's a crown?

Okay.

Broken Crayolas.

Okay.

The brand of crayons still color.

Yeah.

I think what he's doing.

That's great.

My question.

First of all, I liked it on the front of this.

I love it.

Yeah.

Any sort of positive encouragement.

Anybody out preaching the gospel?

Love it.

Fabian said, do you have a job?

Does he?

Well, every week out there all day, every day, it's just each weekday morning.

He goes out there and hold.

Hey, that's dedication.

Like before work, that's, that's awesome.

Well, I don't, it just says for the last six years in his name is John Shaw.

I do not have his age.

I do not have his occupation.

Is it every day?

It says each weekday.

We're really getting his business here because man, that's a lot to come up with.

I know.

I'm just curious.

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 him, if I were given some advice, I'd, in the, on the corner of

the sign.

I'd sell ads to like local, the local catfish place.

It's sponsored.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, people honk.

They wave.

That's cool.

Some have even pulled over to share an impact that his sign made on them.

Wow.

Emotionally.

Yeah, good.

Yeah.

So shout out, John.

Shout out, John.

That's a good story.

That's what it's all about.

That was tell me something good.
