Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Come on, Bobby. Welcome to Friday show. Morning, studio. Morning. All right, let's go around the room. Give me a story you found that you thought was super compelling. Amy, go first.

So this is from CNBC, and I thought you were like it, Bobby. but the number one ick when it comes to job interviews is if someone is late. Oh, yeah. They said that that's worse than like if you don't show up with the right attire or even if you say the wrong company. If you show up late, don't just turn around. Like there's no coming back from that for you? Unless you don't have an arm or something and you lost it on the way to work, it's got to be

really big if you're, because you have to do best, best, best foot forward in an interview. And if you're best, best, best foot is you being late? I can't imagine what your normal foot's going to be. Yeah. Unless there's some crazy. And if there is an excuse, you don't need to go. You need to call. You need to go, hey, this such has happened.

It's bad. I am not able to commit and I reschedule better than showing up late. Okay. Yeah, that's the worst. So, yeah, sorry about that. Biggest dick. Anybody? Nobody here was late.

To the job interview? Even to the job anymore. Shout out to you guys. No, not anymore. Eddie, I'm not going to you until last because your stories are so boring. Oh, I got a good one, though. I know, but I didn't even realize what your theme was, and your theme's always like scientist stuff that's not even interesting. Not this time.

Lunchbox, you're up next. Oh, man, out in San Diego, someone decided to open a Bible study in a strip mall, so they're having Bible study. That's cool. Oh, dear Lord Jesus, and they kept hearing noises coming from next door. They're like, what is that? Keep going, you know, and weeks go by, and they keep hearing these noises. And as they're leaving Bible study, the males are getting told, hey, you should come over, and get a massage.

So they called police. Oh my goodness. It was one of those massage parlors. You know what I'm saying? So. Yeah, we're hearing noises. No, I hear you. We got it.

We got it. But the Bible study just happened to be next to the happy ending massage place. And they were hearing noises. Yes. So then they went and told on them. Yeah, they went and told on them. Got it.

And police started doing an investigation and they shut it down after. Got it. Did it say on that in the story that they were hearing noises? Yeah, it says they were hearing noises through the wall. And that when the males were leaving Bible study. Would they ever go?

The people at the massage bar would be like, hey, you need a massage now that you're done studying? Temptation, man. That's how it works. Now I'm going to go. You got to go last. No, you're going to like mine. Go ahead. Headliner, go ahead.

Okay, go then. Okay, okay. I'll tell you. I'll tell you what. It's okay. So the Coast Guard, you know, I didn't know they do this, but they go and they inspect those big containers that come in ships into the port. So they're in Houston, they're going through all the ships, inspecting everything, and they hear a...

In one of them. And then scratching, scratching. What is this? Open this container up. They opened it up. And there was a dog that was in there for eight days. Hadn't eaten no water or anything. Yeah, dude.

How do you live? These containers come from different countries. No, I know that, but I thought maybe they'd put the dog something. How do you survive for eight days? I saw that found a dog in there. Maybe there were rats in there or something and just... Wow. But, yeah, so they found the dog.

And now the dog is up for a dog. option. I thought that was really cool too. His name's cargo. The dog's name is Connie. Nothing to do with the shipping industry. And how do they know the dog's name? And then secondly, why would they not name it's something cargo related?

If they don't know the dog's hand to begin with, it would have been ship. Like cargo. Yeah. Orte. No, cargo. 40. Hey, it's a good story, huh? That's good. It's not like what you normally do. That's what you normally, that's not what you normally do. Sounds like to tell me something good.

Yeah, this is good. This one here from your tango. So here are the eight behavior. that will have people losing respect for you most. Being late. Coming in at number eight, being a buzz kill. Yeah. Let's give awards to whomever we think does this the most when I say to it. It doesn't have to be a bat all the time, but who's the biggest buzz kill?

You. Yeah, yeah, you'd be a good buzzkill. You'd be a good buzzkill. Like we're having a blast of Bobby Co. Hey. Hey. Hey. Remember that time?

You get DW a night. You get fired. That's not a buzzkill We ordered one beer I know All I'm saying is We're at a work trip Guys, just reminding you

You get a DW out, you're fired And it's not my fault But we didn't even get the beer yet We just ordered it I know but I'm also leaving early And I always want you guys to remember What doesn't sound like a buzzkill Buzzkill

I don't even think I drank that beer I was like I told the friend like to take it back I don't want This is awkward It's not I'm just reminding you You don't drive.

Yeah, man. Because I value you as my friends, but also the people I work with. A.k.a. Buzzkill. I've probably done that a bunch, too. Oh, dude, that was 10 years ago. I know. Then we have one guy that.

Also, I just leave. But we're in Vegas that he comes up and he's always like, oh, I don't like that bad. What the heck are you doing? Get away from us. Number seven, devaluing your time. I don't know. How do we give that award?

Yeah, what does that mean? Yeah, who would do that? I feel like we're all pretty good about that. I don't think there's a real. unless you count I mean I'll go with Morgan Like sometimes you rambled a little long You ramble a little long

But it's not devaluing You're putting that man Well we had to pick somebody No you didn't I'll say Morgan I'll hold on I might turn my mind Go ahead Morgan because she's always having us do her

Best Bits There you go Okay sorry that's part of your job Number six showing little interest in others Oh that's tough man What is this list again? Who kind of ignores this all the time Amy

Yeah, Amy Because even like this morning We were in the same room She never said hi to me No Eddie I passed you in the hall And you said hi What?

What? Shut up Complaining Lunchbox Lunchbox Whoa Number four arguing Lunchbox

All right, I'll take that Number three Interrupting Others That's me Lunchbox You nominate yourself I'll nominate Also Eddie did you say hi?

No No No two Buckling on a stance Huh? Oh, that's me, probably. Probably. I don't really have a stance.

You make a stand, then you just feel like, yeah, whatever. And then, like, yeah, whatever. And then, number one, having impatience. Oh, Bobby. Yeah, I'm pretty impatient. Bobby. Even with myself. All right.

Amy, just didn't get, you won, I don't need to get out of single award. No, she did. Which one? You said, deep-valuing time. That was Morgan. That was Morgan. And then, yeah. Eddie's screaming that I don't care about others.

No, it was, what is it? Yeah, shows no interest in No interest. All right, let's get the show and I started now. All right, Bobby's show. Let's open the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air.

It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Whoa, Bobby Bones. My mom passed away five years ago and in the last couple of years, I've highly encouraged my dad to get back out there. Try dating.

He's still youngish. He deserves to have someone in his life. Well, a few months ago, he met a woman that he's smitten with. But I have two problems with her. For one, she's about my age. And two, her occupation is fitness influencer. My dad is nearing retirement, and I'm afraid this woman is trying to take advantage of him financially.

I'm afraid to say anything because I could be wrong. I wouldn't want to interfere with my dad's love life. Also, I don't know whether or not this relationship will go anywhere anyway. What should I do? Signed daughter of a widower. Okay, first of all, good for your dad. Yeah. Getting a fitness influence.

That's pretty funny. No, I think of mine. Not bad. You know? That means he still got it. Yeah, yeah, pretty good, too. This really, you know, we talk about chili. It's not so much your chili to get into as far as I don't think this is right unless you know, like, a fundamental reason.

It's not right. He could really like her, or he could be like just getting back in the mix. And you know what? What better way to get back in the mix? I'm with a fitness influencer. That's right. Always be weary of somebody. that doesn't have purpose.

She may be, I don't know what her fitness influencer means. She put that in parentheses so it can mean it's a joke or that really could be a big thing. Oh, she's influencing people with her fitness. Or she could be making a good living off of Instagram. Really. So, but if someone doesn't have a purpose or a job or be weary, if, like, your dad has money, I understand why that would be scary to you. Because somebody was talking about the Tinder Swindler the other day?

Yeah, it's a great show. I never watched it. Such good. You need to watch that, dude. It's so good. It's old now. People will take advantage, people. I'm going to say, unless you really feel that you see something that makes you lead to belief

that she's taking advantage of financially, don't just have that thought in your mind and react to just the thought that you've created in your mind. Because if she was an age-appropriate fitness influencer, it'd probably be okay. Because sometimes, you know, we just wish our dads would have, you know, or would date not so young women. But if dad's like...

What do you mean? 58. Well, I went through this with my dad. It's weird when they date. And she's like 32. That's okay. Yeah. They're all adult adults. They're not even like, but I could see where that would be weird if she was the same age as you. Yes. Can you do like a blanket

statement of just like, dad, people nowadays, they just like scam people and you've got to be careful. Yes. I think you would know though if you're leaning toward, you know, they say they are fit. No, you don't say any of that stuff.

Nothing to indicate you're talking about that girl. If you haven't been actually shown reasons to worry, don't speak of your worry. You can have the worry, but don't take your dad down because you're just worried about it. It's okay to have concerns, but just keep your eyes open. Yeah, because he's an adult. Keep your eyes peeled. And he's having fun of the fitness influencer. Yeah, he's having a blast right now for sure.

He's a lot younger than him. Be happy for him because it sucks. His wife died. mom died, that sucks. Yeah. So, unless you see something, don't say something. Do you have anything you want to say to that? Yeah, the first thing that came to my mind was, you know, not my circus, not my monkeys,

but it's your dad. So I feel like it kind of is one of your monkeys that you care about, I think. Well, you can go to the circus, but don't throw peanuts at the monkeys. Right. You don't need to accuse anything, but I do think it's okay if you wanted to talk to your dad just to make sure, but ultimately he's going to make the decision for himself. You don't have to position it that she's done anything wrong. Just be like, Dad, so what do y'all talk about?

Like, are you, you all getting along great? Do you see a future with her? Just get to know their situation. And that might bring you more comfort. If he shares things that, like, line up with, yeah, this is real love. What if he's like she's a fitness influencer? She's 20 years younger. It's awesome.

Okay, well, then you have to respect that your dad's just trying to get with a... Oh, man. I would leave it alone for now. I would just leave it alone for now. Okay. Just check his financial records. If he's withdrawing a lot of money, then you need to say something.

How do you check it? I don't know. Hopefully you have access to it. You probably don't, though. All right, thank you. Let it be until you have a reason not to close it up. We got your email and we have the clothes, Bobby. The most talked about segment we do.

Fun fact Friday. Fun fact Friday. I'll start. It's almost impossible to castrate a hippo. Their testes are on the inside. Oh. They recede even deeper during surgery. And their location can be up to 16 inches.

front hippo to hippo, so they don't even know really where to find it inside. Whoa. I always wanted to be a ninja because what they would do, I would read in order to make sure they weren't vulnerable in certain spots of their body. They would take theirs and push it inside of them, so if you kicked them in it wouldn't hurt. They would train to do that. And that's why you wanted to be a ninja? Oh, that'd be so cool to be able to do that. Then I could beat up the bullies.

I was like, if I could just shove that in my stomach, I beat up the bullies, not knowing that also hurt when I get punched in the face. Right, right? Yeah. But I thought I could shut that one thing down. Yeah. Okay, so a single bat can eat up to 1,200 mosquito-sized insects in an hour. So sometimes you might be like, ugh, bats. A thousand?

Yeah, and they can eat 6,000 to 8,000 mosquitoes or insects in an entire night. And so next time, if you're freaked out about a bad, just be like, oh, thank you for eating all the mosquitoes that are about to bite me. Give thanks for bats. Yeah. Thank you bats. And they're little, too. That's a lot of, like, insects in their stomachs. And they're kind of cute unless you look at them up close.

That's when they're really cute. Their faces are so cute. They call like a Monet. What movie was that? Clueless. Somebody from afar looks good. You get closer like, ooh. Oh, that's funny.

Monet. Monet because it's blurry. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But bats like that. You're like, oh, it's a little cute. You get right up close to it. All right, lunchbox.

Women typically urinate in a wider stream than men after giving birth. So centuries ago, the way they determined if a woman had been intimate or not. is they would watch them pee if they peed like a man, they were good to go. What do you mean peed like a man? Like, Stan? No, it was like a straight stream that was like a man, like a straight line. What? Wow. Is it like when you put your thumb over the water hose? Yes, yes. It's wider. But if it was straight, that's crazy. That's how they determined if they were.

This is so weird. But that's how they did it centuries ago? It's definitely kind of fun. How does he find these fat? I don't know what he's searching. I know. Eddie. So did you know that pistachios are not. nuts. They are actually fruit. Did you know that you say it funny?

Postasios. Who are you? Mr. Formal. Pistachios. How do you say it? Pistachios. I'm not saying my ways right, but when you said it, I felt like I... It was weird. That you had some advanced agree. No, no, that's a hard word for me to say. Say it again. Go ahead.

Pistachios. Go ahead. I don't know what to say. But they're not nuts. They're fruits. They actually come from a tree and it's called a troop and they fall from the tree and it's like a little fruit. And you open it up. That's interesting. Tomatoes. A fruit. A pumpkin. A falcados. Fruit.

Wow. So basically anything that has a seed inside of it is a fruit, not a veggie. So if you plant... My nickname in ninth grade. One of the little... So inside the shell, is that a seed? And if we were to plant it, would a pistachio tree grow? Yeah, I don't know. I didn't say that in my little fun fact sheet. All right, Morgan.

In the 1940s, it was a retired school teacher who came up with Candyland, the board game, to entertain children who were hospitalized from polio because it's a... Color System game, it required no reading, which made it easy for young kids to play. Wow. And impossible for me. I was a color system game. I sucked at it. Your color was.

I sucked at it. Yeah. Presidents didn't have degrees. Do you know they're nine? No. They didn't have college degrees? Older for the most part, George Washington, because I don't think that college, there were a lot of universities.

Probably not. Tuition wasn't formal. Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Zachary, Taylor, Millard, Philmore, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Grover, Cleveland, and Harry Truman. That was surprising because that starts to be like black and white TV time. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go.

Fun fact and weird fact. Friday. Thank you. Fun fact Friday. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Yeah, I'm a mom. A couple things.

Back in December, we did our gift giving on this show. And it had to start with S. And Eddie bought Ray sports betting on Draft Kings. He bought him like 20 bucks for the Dallas Cowboys to win the Super Bowl. A bet. It was $100. $100, I think It was $100?

Yeah. I thought we didn't have a minimum. The gift was $100. Wow. And he would have won like $500. Yeah, $800, $800. Well, Ray was like, I don't want that. So I'm going to go ahead and cash out now.

Ray, how much did you get from it? We got the exact amount of $100. Yeah, so we just took the $100 straight out. But Daddy was like, no, if you just let it mature, the Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl. And luckily, Ray cashed it because, as you know, they didn't. Well, the Super Bowl is this weekend, and this couple got married, Jessica and Matt Grimes, and everybody at their wedding got a $2 sports bet on the 49ers winning the Super Bowl. So they gave everybody basically a future.

That's really cool. That's cool. It's pretty cool. If the 49ers win, each ticket can win everybody about 20 bucks. That's great. So it was at about 10 to 1. I love that. That's pretty funny.

The bets have managed to extend the excitement of the wedding for some of the guests. And everybody's reaching out to still talk about the wedding because the bet's still. is existing. And then if you're a fan of that team, like now you have all those people behind your team. So you kind of bought some fans, but that's kind of cool, though. It's 180. But still, that's a fun idea. So a $2 bet. And you know some people just do it away

too. For sure. Oh, man. That's like, well, they get $20. I thought that's a pretty good idea. All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'll say it. Yep. That's me.

Morning. Okay. I have this pet peeve that I thought maybe you could help me with. Maybe it's something I... Whenever I work at any business that

had a door open for people to come in, break, but stores or even the chiropractor waiting for patients. My husband, he works with cars. We have this issue every once in a while we notice when we walk right up to work at 8 o'clock or I drop him off at 8 o'clock, people literally will follow him up the door. Like he has this key in his hand, his 90-pound bag on him, he's saying goodbye to his daughter in the car, and they're standing out of the car holding him their paperwork, like, do my car. And you feel like that's a little aggressive?

So I'm wondering, like, is that silly that I have the pet pee? Like, it just, even at great clips, people would watch us open the door. We hadn't even turned the light on yet. And they'd be walking up behind us walking in. I think you just kind of have to understand human nature where I don't think individually these all are weird people, but if they're there early to get it done so they can get out, they probably want it done as quickly as possible. And so if they see somebody, it's weird.

I wouldn't go up to somebody. I'd let them walk in, turn the lights on. I'd take like 10 breaths and then go in. But I feel like in that space I'm pretty normal. But I think it's just understanding. Could you see it across all these different professions? People will be there and they expect to be served right away, even if it's not really time to do that.

Well, I went to like a first come, first serve like a medical clinic one time. And they were coming, they were close for lunch. First come first serve. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They do like. You don't tell us. Go ahead. First come first serve, right?

So I was sitting in my car because they were out for lunch. And exactly one o'clock, the lady comes walking in with the keys. That's first come first serve though That's different But I was in my car And I said you know what I did that I was like let me take a breath Let the lady get settled in

Turn the lights on By that time Three people walked out of their car Ran in and I was fourth in line Yeah so you got Black Friday Yeah But that's first come first serve Right so but so what I'm saying

Is I know it's a pet peeve of hers But like if you want to be first You gotta follow that person in That's true You wanna win sometimes it's uncomfortable For everybody else It is yes It can still be your pet peeve

And it can be annoying but there's no law being broken and they probably get their service faster. Yeah, man, that's why we do it. I would be annoyed too. Like I'm getting out of my car to go to work and someone's right there. Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's showbiz.

Go on the back door. That's what I'd say. Yeah, if you're open at 8, you're open at 8. But they're there at 745. Yeah, that is open. That is. So, yes, let that remain a pet peeve, but also just it's human nature

and it's not you specifically or your industry. It's all across the board. It's just the thing that is take a breath. Before you walk in, you let them sip their coffee. Unless you're at the clinic. First come first serve.

Or you want to go get on the Texas giant roller coaster. That's true. Six Flacks. As soon as they open that thing, even if they're not open the roller coaster 15 minutes, you've got to run. Exactly. Get there at the front of the line. All right.

Oh, we didn't help her very much. Caroline, thank you. Hey, job. Yep. Okay, nice. Here's a voicemail that we got last night. So I am just following up on the palette of John. that you guys are wanting to sell.

Bobby, you told Lunchbox he had either two or three weeks to sell that stuff or start selling that stuff and Morgan takes pictures of it and somehow Lunchbox hits it on social media or however he was going to do it. I'm just curious

on where he is at on that. Me too. Yeah, we've been taking pictures. We've been heading to scale back to operation because Morgan has been a little under the weather this week, so we haven't been don't take any more pictures. So Morgan's been at work.

You've been at work. I've been here. And she can't even record a commercial. Like she doesn't even record it. I did. You can take pictures. No, no. Your voice is screwed up.

No, no. She... But you can also do it. No, no. Also, I'm not in on this. Like, I didn't buy into this. Like, this is your thing. And I only offered to help because you don't know how to use technology.

Amen. You are the social media person for this show. This is not her job to do this. The show's not me from it. In the rules, you said Morgan will take pictures of you with every item. So she's... someone else takes pictures of you. I don't know who knows how it works of cameras.

What a camera? Every single person but you. Your phone. Right. Yeah. So again, you have another excuse. She's had her vertigo going on so she hadn't been able to help take pictures this week. Okay, so you should actually then have some compassion for her.

No, it's like I am. I'm feeling bad. So I said, no, we don't want you to take pictures this week. I want you to get better. Right now. Did he say that? No. He hasn't brought anything else up to me.

We took pictures one day and we took like 15. He's like, okay, that's good for now. And then I was like, okay. Break time. Whatever. That was it. Scuba, we got to move this stuff. Yeah, I know.

I guess I gave him too much credit thinking he would do it. No, no, I've been doing it. But we haven't put anything anywhere. There's no progress. There's nothing. We have not moved it forward at all. No, no, I have been.

Now, I'll take the ownership. Stop. It's gone on way too long. No, you're not going to come in and try to take over again, just like you did a lot. I was also investing in it, though. It's called actually getting it done. So one clear the room out. That's what I do.

Exactly. And I'm one of the investors, so I have a stake in this. I'd like to get it moving as well. As a businessman, I will get it done. Here's the deal. As commissioner of this, trade. Next week is the last week where if nothing happens, Scooby is just taking over.

Yeah. No, stuff's been happening. I'd rather just throw it away at this point. Me too. I'm over it. I think we just call it a loss. Yeah, I'm good with that. We can't ever invest with lunchbox again because...

That's incorrect. Incorrect. Thank you for asking that question. Next week, TikTok, TikTok, TikTok. He's on the clock, clock, clock. Oh, you want to put it on TikTok? No. That's not a bad idea.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. So I have some phrases that only Southerners use. So I'll say them and then Bobby you define them. Go. Fixing two. That's easy. Yeah. I'm about to do something.

I'm whenever fixing. Because I said that a lot growing up. I mostly removed it from my vernacular because I went to a lot of speech pathology and they were like, you sound super hillbilly when you say fixing to. But I wonder if fixin too came from. All right. What else? Hill of beans.

It's a quantity. something like a set like it doesn't amount to a hill of beans it doesn't amount it yeah my grandma always all the time you never heard that one yeah because the hill of beans what's that yeah like quantity quality yeah what else let me let you go oh let me let you go it means you want to get off the phone in a polite way I'm like I'm gonna let you go hey let you go I'll catch you up with you next week I feel like I've used that one before let me let you go oh yeah all the time that's okay yeah what else give me some sugar kisses give me kiss that's flirting well not even that's It's like grandma.

A rooster one day and a feather duster the next. One day you can be king of the hill. One day, the next day you can just be something that's cleaning up the place. Wow, that's country. All this stuff feels like stuff that was said to me all the time. Don't brag about your fortune now because it could be all gone before you know it. If the creek don't rise. I know that.

We don't chan't use that one. If the creek don't rise. It means that you plan on being somewhere unless something crazy happens. Oh. Like unless the world ends, we say that there. But I usually use that one that much. All right. Butter my backside and call me a biscuit.

That's crazy. That's what that means, basically. Right. That's crazy. All right. What else? Okay. According to a new American Gaming Association survey,

a record 67.8 million Americans are expected to bet the Super Bowl game this weekend. Well, it's legal now in 30 or so states. Is that why it's increased so much? Oh, yeah. It's like you can do it without. having to go to jail. Yeah, the dollar amount, like last year was it $16 billion bet. Yeah, draft kings.

Everybody get on draft kings. It's awesome. 23.1 billion is expected. Well, last year, though, you could bet as well. But yes, it is growing. It's growing. Yeah. So most people are going to be gambling online, probably through like

drafting something like that. Then there's another group that's just casually with friends, office pools, and then actual bookies is a small percentage. Are those legal? No. The office pools are fun. Okay. And you can do that.

People still probably will. Are you doing one? No. Last minute? No, I'm doing draft kings, but if you download draft kings, use the code Bobby Sports because that will help us. But yeah, awesome. What else?

Okay, and FYI, most people are betting on the Chiefs. So Hardy is going to release a rock album. He announced that this week, and then today he put a single out that's called Rockstar. But the cover art for the single is pretty cool. It includes images of Hardy dressed like Kurt Cobain, Paul Stanley, and his Kiss makeup outfit, and Freddie Mercury. That's pretty cool. Hardy goes hard. Yeah, it does.

Your daughter uses the Elf Cosmetics? Yeah, she does. I was watching this thing about it. I guess they're going to have a pretty epic commercial during big game happening on Sunday. So make sure you keep an eye out during the big game commercials for Elf cosmetics and the courtroom drama, apparently. Yeah, there's going to be someone super famous making a commercial debut. So I'm going to be looking out for it too. I'm excited.

I don't know who it is either, so I'm pumped to see. All right, there you go. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Well, the Super Bowl is this weekend, and since 2020, the Maythalor family has been doing this. They live in Missouri.

They're huge Kansas City Chiefs fans, and they turn their house into a huge light show. You're talking 15,000 LED lights. There's a huge light show with music play, Ray. People can drive the neighborhood past the house for four hours a day because they set the bills really expensive. This is the Tomahawk chop, though, from the Braves? No, I think the Chiefs do it too. Really? Yeah, because they play at Arrowhead.

No, I know I get it. No, I understand all that. I just really consider the Braves as the Tomahawk choppers. I didn't know the Chiefs did it. And I think Florida State does it too. I think all those guys chop. And how do we feel about that? The chop? Yeah, it's fun. I mean, I like doing the chop when I'm in a game.

Yeah, I agree. I know. Maybe I should. It is enjoyable. Maybe I shouldn't. Maybe I shouldn't. That's pretty cool, though. they're that big of fans. They do Christmas lights, but for the Chiefs and for Super Bowl. And I know the city kind of knows that they do it. So a lot of people just drive by, take their kids and get them pumped up for the Super Bowl. Chop with it. I think it's awesome. In like five years we'll get canceled for this bit. Oh, man. Well, they're doing it, not us. But it is fun. Because we said it was fun. That's a fun thing.

Doing the chop. Yeah. I mean, if you're at the game, don't you do the chop? No, because I'm not a fan of teams that do the chop, but I would do the chop. You do lunch? If you go to a Braves game and they're in it, you would have to do it. I mean, I've never... It's like the wave. Do you do the wave when it comes around? No, I did not do the way.

Will the ocean be offended? We don't know yet. Yeah, we don't know. But everybody's a little woke. All right, thank you. That's a fun story just for the neighborhood. That's what it's all about. That was telling me something good.

A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media.
