We're going Come on, Bobby Transmitting What's up everybody?

Hope you had a great weekend. We're back. Morning studio. Morning. All right, here's the get-to-know-you question. I'll go first since you guys have not heard the question in advance. If your hometown was a food,

what food would it be? Now it could be your hometown. It could be your neighborhood. I'm from Mountain Pine, Arkansas, population a little over 700. And we would be fried chicken strips and French fries, but thrown in the same fryer.

It cooked at the same time and then dumped into a plate, just greasy as crap. Oh, yummy. With ketchup from the refrigerator on the edge so you can dip it for both. Ooh. That would be us because we had a place called the Yum Yum Shop, and they just made a bunch crap like that kind of food, like awesome food. But also, we didn't eat healthy. We didn't know what that was.

So I would go fried chicken strips and french fries, but same spot in dump. jumped in. That's awesome. Amy? Okay, I'm going to go a plate of Mexican food. So for me, it would be some tacos, some rice, some beans. Definitely, queso, either drizzled all over it or queso for the table. That's Austin for you, or is it like a part of Austin? That's Austin for me, Tex-Mex. I mean, that's where, I feel like all my friends, that's where we would go eat. When I go back to visit, that's what we go eat. That's what everybody's died up from from, double-fried chicken stress in. Same here. Eddie?

Yeah, mine's going to be a botana platter. Do you know what that is? Well, tell about where you're from first. I'm from South Texas, Macallan, Texas. It's the very southern tip of Texas, like seven miles north of Mexico. And a botana platter is this big old platter, the size of my desk, like, I don't know, three feet wide, and it's got everything you can think of. Fahitas, barbecue chicken. It's got nachos.

It's got even shrimp on there. It's everything you can imagine. That's Mexican food, all in one platter. Like a buffet? It sounds like a charcuto. No, no, they bring the whole plate to the table. Like a meat and cheese. Wow.

I need that. I am from Austin, Texas, represent Northside. And it's going to be a barbecue plate. You got ribs. That's good. You got brisket. You got baked beans. You got mac and cheese, potato salad.

That's what it would be. Morgan? Well, I'm from Wichita, Kansas. But I don't feel like this is accurate for Wichita. Maybe for me as a vegetarian, though. Oh, my gosh. She doesn't eat meat. So mine would have been craft mac and cheese with mashed potatoes.

and white bread with butter. But hers would really be Pizza Hut because that's where it started. Yeah. It did start there. You can't choose mine. You can't do hers. It's what she... That's what I grew up eating.

Yeah, what if we were like, maybe yours. What's our... Dalamo. I'm just telling you. Ray, Michigan. Yeah, mine's a pasty. It rhymes with nasty. It's a pop pie and it just filled with everything.

Roast, beef, potatoes, potatoes, corn. It keeps you warm in the winters. And a lot of people are learning, that will probably keep you warm nowadays. So maybe it'll end up becoming a nationwide food. Pasty, look it up. Good luck at that, buddy. All right, thank you.

All right, everybody feel good? Yeah. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. My boyfriend and I broke up about nine months ago. We were together for five years.

We moved in together at two years and got a dog. We adopted and cared for this dog together. And now we are faced with the task of co-parenting him in separate households. It's been a challenge of time for both of us, but we are committed to maintaining a healthy and amicable separation for the sake of our dog.

He, my ex, recently informed me he's seeing someone new, so that adds a new layer because I'll likely run into her dropping and picking up the dog. I wanted to ask for advice how to navigate this situation effectively, ensuring our dog's well-being remains a top priority.

Signed, divorced dog mom. It's easy. You can do Solomon? Hmm? Take the dog cut it. half. Oh, oh, oh. And the first one of the steps,

they can have it. No, no, no, that's your dog? No, I don't like that one. No. No, you need a drop-off exchange location. Oh, yours is maintain what they're doing. Humans do this with their human children. Got it.

Children. At times. If you don't want to go from house to house, you can have a location where you meet and the exchange happens. Of the two, and I understand you both love the dog, one of you love the dog more. Yeah. One of you, that's your dog.

Now that doesn't mean that the other person shouldn't get the dog some, but we need to keep that dog in one place, let it know its natural home. And if it's with you, that's grave, 80% you, we don't even do it 50-50 crap because one of you love that dog more than the other one. It's just the truth. And the other person may be trying to keep it

just despite the other person. So if you really care about the dog, you know as well as I do, one of you love that dog more than the other one. So that needs to be the person who keeps the dog most of the time. But they need to admit that. Yeah, you don't think it could be equal love? No, one person is hanging on.

they can see the other person. I agree. Yeah, of course. Okay. Think about your kids. You love one of them more? You mean either Ben or I love them more? You have a favorite.

I'm talking about your two kids. You have a favorite. You have four kids. You know, well, there's one. I have a favorite. Yeah, you rank them all the time. We do it after the show. All I'm saying is, it's not

this little change in other cars and the dogs and the houses. It's not going to last a whole long time. Because you're going to go, it's a dog. Now, but one of you won't like that because you love the dog more. That's who should keep dog.

We got your email and we'll Bobby's mail bag. Our head audio producer, Raimundo, says he saw a celebrity at the mall. How big of a celebrity at the mall? Big celebrity. Country music star. They have number ones. A list? B list.

B list. So still a big deal. Big deal. We're talking about. It's interesting. It was a side I'd never seen in the country artists. They're a big shopper, apparently. Guy or girl?

It was a dude. He was with his chick. Both, Bose. The last time he did this, it was Chris Day Stableton playing tennis at the mall. Pickleball in the mall. But it wasn't. Correct.

He can't play pickleball in the mall anymore. Yeah, they took that down. No, no, but he said it never was him. Are you sure this is that celebrity? 100%. It walked one foot by me. I got it. Did you not talk to him?

No, I was going to try and impress my sister, though, and be like, hey, I know, blank, blank, blank, but also they were with their woman, their wife, I don't know. Didn't want to bother him. It was kind of a dead day at the mall. So it's really, if you go to that, the mall I was going to isn't one you want to be seen and be seen. You're laying low. What? And why do you say you didn't know

they were such a shopper? Five bags in his arms. I mean, kind of a manly guy. Rocking a whole armful of groceries. Of like designer jeans and boots? My gosh. Do you guys want to do 10 questions?

Yes or no only? Something figured out? Yes. All right, Amy, go ahead. You know it's a dude. You know it's somebody with a wife. And he says kind of manly. Or a girlfriend.

But does he change it to wife, though? Well, Okay. He also said groceries and he's at the mall. So I don't know what. He did say Stable to play pickleball at the mall too. Designer jeans. Okay.

Let me start? Yeah. Is this artist known for their facial hair? Yeah. Okay. Wow, what a strong yes to get there. Facial hair. Known for their facial hair.

Go ahead. Does this person ask Bobby for money a lot of times? No. Okay. Who would that be? Eddie? Ray, have you seen this person in the mall before playing pickleball? No.

Great question, because it could have been Stapleton again. That's all I thought. I was like, what about it? I guess he asked bones for money? No, mine was Coleswindale. All right, Ray. And also, Stapleton's in A. I do believe I said B list.

Oh, he did say that. Oh, okay. A would be like entertainer of the year. B would be like big star, but not quite entertainer of the year category. Known for his facial hair? Who's got a mustache? Or has he performed in the studio in the last 12 months? Yes.

Regular. That was a strong. Oh. Oh. Well, if you got it, go. But I have a question. Oh, but if you get, go ahead. We have four.

We have six left. We're a team here, guys. Okay. Does Bobby golf with him? No. No. You know how about it. Yeah, for sure.

Who? Jordan. Jordan Davis. Oh. I got us. You ready? No, I don't. If you miss it, though, we lose.

Okay. All right. Did Abby used to have a crush on this guy? No. Nate Smith? That's what I thought. Did he have facial here? I would say Nate Smith is C-lister.

This is more of a B. That's not necessary. C's not bad. C's like new artist. That's good. Yeah. He's just strong on the B-lister. Yeah.

Eddie? Ray. Go ahead. Ray. There's other questions about music. Well, don't tell us what to ask. I mean, I got to put you in some direction. You're not even close.

Then we lose. But let us play the game. We're not even close? Did he say country? If he's performed in here, he's got to be. No, he doesn't. He said a regular. Did say regular.

Yes. He was artists. Like facial hair. Like, is he in a band? Ask me in a band. Okay, okay. Ray is, oh, that's a good one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ray, is he part of a band? Yes, it's not just him. Oh. Okay, so how many is that? Do you think I would you? Three, four, five, six, seven. I'm eight. We have to get it by Amy so we can guess it on Lunchbox.

Are there any females in his band? No. Okay, so it's not Lady A. It's not a little big time. Oh, I got it. I got it. You get to guess it. It'll be on you.

Okay. Is he in a band with his brother? Yeah. Yeah, great question. And the answer is yes. Okay, got it. That guy. I was named.

Oh, no. Now Lunchbox has to say it. Yeah. We can tell him, though, right? He's going to be John Osborne. Okay, I didn't know his name. It's got to be John. Yeah, so I was thinking.

What's the other one's name? TJ. Yeah, that's it. So it's got to be John Osborne. That's who it is. Guess it out. John Osborne. Yeah, John Osborne and Lucy Silver.

Yeah. All you got the night. You didn't say what up? They're the nicest people in the whole world. I'm not as close to him as y'all are. I've never really even said hi to him when he walks by. So it would have been weird and I'd randomly say hi to him in the mall. But he walks right behind me all the time and I don't even say hi.

in studio. Yeah, I see him at the grocery store. You do? Yeah. This is the greatest, dude. All right, well, Ray, thank you for that story. Yeah. That's pretty good.

That's pretty good. Where were the bags from? He's definitely going free bird. I don't know, maybe they got a tour coming up. Burritos? Like boots? Yeah. It's time for the good news.

All right, I got a sweet story that's gone viral on TikTok, and there was this couple, they took their baby on the first trip ever. They went from New Jersey to Mexico. Their baby's only five months old, so they were a little nervous how this trip would go. Well, it went well. And on the flight home, in a plane, on the flight home, they were sitting next to this woman named Megan Rubin, who was crocheting stuff. And Romi, the little baby, was taking an interest in the crochet. So, Megan decided to look at her outfit, pull out some yarn that matched it, didn't tell the parents what she was doing.

And then when the flight landed, she was like, hey, I made your baby Romi like a little beanie for her head for her first flight ever, her first trip ever. So I just thought it was like really sweet that that woman did it. they put it on TikTok. It went viral. But Megan plans on continuing to crochet things for Romi for years to come. Just for Romi? Mommy goes to prom and have crocheting the dress. It's like a thing they have to always do now. I know. It's like the grandma and the kid who actually texts on Thanksgiving. So they have to have Thanksgiving together every Thanksgiving.

It's something that Megan said she took up during the pandemic. And so she hasn't been doing it for very, very long. But it brought her so much joy just to randomly, even with the time constraints of the flight, be able to finish a beanie and time. to give it to the baby. No, that's cool that she did that. Cute baby. I wish I had that hat. Are the beanie's cool?

Yeah, it's good. It's got a ball on top. Oh, I love a ball on top. Yeah, me too. All right, that's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win.

Good one. Good one. We're going to open up the complaint box. I'm really trying not to complain. But this is for entertainment. purpose only. So if I reach into the box like this, I pull one out here. Oh, lunchbox, this is your complaint. You have

45 seconds. Go ahead. I want to complain about people lying. If you scroll Facebook right now, you see people saying, I read 100 books the last year. I read 85 books. And every time I'm like, how do you read that much? I'll comment. How do you read that many books? Well, I'm in the car a lot,

so I listen to it on tape. That's not reading a book, people. That means you listened to a book. Someone read it to you. You can I consumed a book, but you did not read 100 books. So annoyed. A valid point. I'm just surprised you're that annoyed about something that doesn't matter.

No, no, because it makes people look like they're so smart. Oh, I can suit. I read 100 books. Like, they're reading more than one a week. That's crazy. That's crazy. So is that what you want them to use the word consumed? Yes.

Or I listened to 100 books on. Between my reading and listening, I listen to 100 books. Thank you. Don't sit here and lie and say you read all these books. I'm not that angry about it, but I feel. So you rather than be clear. like I listened to 75 and read 25. Thank you.

That's more realistic and I understand it so far this month. But we had time off at the first of the year. There you go. So I was able to spend more time to it. But I've already read two books. I'm working on a third. However, I don't do that normally. Especially they read to 100 books, I'd be like, what?

How in the world? That's all you do? But yeah. Yeah, like, how in life do you have enough time to read 100 books? They don't. Oh, I'm in my car a lot. So you didn't read books. So they read or listened to over 100 books.

Yes. Stop lying, people. There you go. That's his complaint. Nice job. Thank you. You feel better? I do feel better. Okay, let's reach into the box here.

Ooh, there. Oh, Eddie. Okay. Mine is to the technological people of Apple. Stop. The technological people of Apple. They know who they are. You mean the people that work at Apple? Whatever. Yeah. The people that make the chargers.

Stop changing the chargers. Yeah, that's annoying. And then car people, people that are making cars, stop changing the charging ports. Like now I get into a newer car and I have my USB charger. It doesn't fit anywhere. It's annoying. Now they take the USBCs. What's next?

USB D, USB E. Like, what are we going to have? A bunch of, like, chargers with us all the time? It's annoying. So annoying. I agree. You remember the days, dude? Like, look on the wall.

I hear you. And they're going to change it again. At least they're not doing it every year. They do it what? Every five years? I don't know. Whenever they get a new model, they figure a way to change,

to send the current faster. Our wall power outlets have been the same since I've been alive. Three prongs. And I hear you. I do hear you on that. What I'm saying is they're finding ways to actually. use the charger to make it better. I don't care.

It's going to charge faster? Yes, that's exactly. Instead of two hours, it's an hour and 45 minutes, I'm good. Oh, yeah. Okay. I hear you. It is annoying because you have to bind you. Because I have things that have that little skinny one that goes in,

and then I have the new ones that are my computer, but now the new iPhone, it's stupid. But I feel you. Thanks for letting me do that. I feel a lot better. You're welcome, buddy. All right, let me reach in here. Morgan. Okay.

All right, Morgan's going to complain. I'll go ahead. Yeah, so I, guys, guys, customer service is absolutely terrible right now. I ordered four pieces of clothing from a pretty high-end place. I got sent the completely wrong order. Nothing about it was the same. And so I'm like, you know what?

I'll send an email. It's probably a mistake. So I send an email and they're like, yeah, go ahead and send it back. You'll be charged $10. I'm like, I'm charged $10 because you sent the wrong thing. And I'm like, can somebody please call me about this? They respond. It's the same message I just got.

It's a bot. I'm literally talking to a bot over evening. There's no other place to talk to these people. She fell in love with the bot. They hit it off. That'd be cool. You know, that would be cool. I'm so angry that we can't even have people doing customer service anymore.

Like, I have a wrong order. You did the wrong thing and you're not even owning up to it either because you're a bot. You don't even know what's happening. Do you think way down the line like way, way, way, when people are used to bots and they're going to switch to something else? People are going to like, I just want to talk to a bot. Yeah, absolutely. I really. I don't want to talk to the worst.

I don't talk to the psychic bot. I'm going to talk to the real bot. Here's what I say. I just guess is by me calling in. But they're lying too. Like lunchbox is upset with. They're line too. They don't say they're a bot.

They're like, hi, how is your day? How can I help you? And I'm like, I know you're a bot. Well, here's what happens with those a lot of times.

That's just a clip they play at the beginning, but the same person talks afterward. Oh. Oh. What about like you want to chat on a website? Yeah, no, no. You're not a person. Don't lie to me.

Let's go. Let's reach into the complaint box. Oh, Ray Mundo. Yeah, me and Eddie got robbed. So you guys remember that blank slate game we played end of October? Yeah, for a thousand bucks. Yeah, and me and Eddie split it with the listener. We all got three, three, three.

The listener, us, Eddie, whatever. The Lister got the money two months ago. We complained and said we still haven't got paid yet. Not blank slate's fault. Our payroll's fault, I guess. Yeah, go ahead. Great board game. It was on us. So we got the money.

We got the money. I checked the checks and balances. And it's not 330. $33. Well, tax, it can be taken out of. Tax. We got tax, dude. Tax on a game? Yes. If you want a game show, you get taxed. Really? Yeah.

And this is great because it's already been taken out for you. Otherwise, you may have to deal with that yourself. So what did we get, Ray? Well, so it was considered a talent type thing. So we cleared about $200 out of $33. Wow. Wow. It's called living in America. That's insane.

That's called taxes, bro. Dude, we should have taken all the money from the listener and then we'd have at least gotten $333. Let me ask you this. Did the listener get taxed? I'm, but I'll do it themselves because they don't go through our. Okay. But they're supposed to get taxed. Yes.

Okay. Jeez, I wanted to complain about that. I'm glad you did. I got two more complaints here. Let's switch on this one. Here you go. Amy, you have a complaint? Yeah, just saying hi to people like when you're on a walk.

I don't know why some people don't say hi back. Oh, if somebody says hi, I'll say hi back. But I don't ever say hi to begin with. Okay. Well, I say hi to begin with. to every person I pass on the trail. Oh, my God. I like complaining about Amy

saying hi to every person. Yeah, that's annoying. Well, why not? I like that, Amy. That's nice of you. I just don't know why we don't say hi that much anymore. And it's like, I know that you heard me say hi,

so I don't know why you're not saying hi back, and then you just feel stupid for saying hi. Was it a guy? Was it cute? No. It's been, it's all kinds of people. Oh, dang. Well, it's like a personal problem.

All right, thank you. What? Does anybody agree with me on that? Yes, I do. I do. But what happened to me one time, though, there was a guy that was... You say hi to every single person you're walking by. Everyone.

Hey, man, how's it going? Hi, how are you? Good to see you. Hey. Hi. Hi. It's no big deal. Even a wave.

That's a problem. You. You're bad. You're bad. Amy's out during deaf hiking day and no one, you get him mad. Right. Yeah. I guess I hear you.

I just don't want to bother people, so I never say hi. It's a bother to say hi. I don't want to bother people, so I feel like I'm, if I stopped, hey, hey, how's it going? Unless I need to say something to them. But I'm not saying, hey, how's it going? And stopping them. It's, you keep walking, but you say hi. I feel you.

I just don't, I don't have that. Do you wave at people while you're driving by? Like, hey. Growing up, when I lived in a small town because you pretty much knew everybody. Right. Odds are you'd know them. Yeah. But not in a city.

Okay. On the interstate. Hey. Oh! Like that's what the buddy the elf would do. Right. Okay. Last one.

Let me reach in here. Oh, it's me. So I ordered three different sweatshirts from an Instagram ad from a company I like. And let's say I live on Jackson Road. Okay? So I ordered my sweatshirts. They come. They're always pretty good.

Like three days later. They said delivered. They didn't come. Jackson. I looked them. Deliver. Okay. They took them to Jackson Lane.

which is different than Jackson Road. And I'm like, I don't get my sweatshirts. And they're like, oh, we're out of them now. And I'm like, can you not message the people over at Jackson? They took them to the wrong place. I know it's not your fault. They took them into Jackson Lane and road. But it's their way you can get a hold of them.

Or can I go over there and be like, you've got my stuff to the wrong address. I suppose you. They recommended I would not do that. Yeah, don't do that. Really? Yeah, I mean, odds are it's going to be fine, but you could get shot or something. Okay. So somebody in Jackson Lane got my stuff.

You want lunchbox to go by and ground? I don't know. I don't know who made the mess up. Could have been there at the place. Could have been the mailperson. But also they shouldn't name two different roads, one lane, one road when they're not even near each other. What about Avenue and...

I don't know. It's like a phone number. Right. You know? There's one phone number from place. You don't need the same name on two addresses. So anyway, I didn't get my crap. Sorry, man.

That's terrible. I was going to do EA sports, not putting us, giving us information on NCAA football. Because they keep teasing us. Yeah, about the new game. That was stupid. Or people on Instagram telling me how to raise my dog. I did a video of Stanley coming down the stairs.

Because he needs better shot, because what I said. And people are like, I can hear his nails on the wood. You're not a good dog owner. You need to trim his nails. What? I was going to do them by didn't. Yeah. I don't complain.

But you still kind of complain about that. No, this is for entertainment purposes only. There you go. Thank you very much. After the show today, we're going to Auburn, Alabama, to go and sit with their basketball coach, Bruce Pearl, and work out with one of their play. for our show Too Much Access.

Oh. And it doesn't bother me because I know people are idiots. But we go and we go to all these programs, college, pro, and we wear their clothes and we work out in the gym with them. It's called Too Much Access. But like Arkansas Twitter now is like, oh, you're a fan of a different team wearing their clothes? Oh, no.

Yeah, but. And it's like, I'm the most loyal. Like nobody's Razorback Blood runs redder than mine ever in the history of the world. And it's like, bro, I feel. created the show. And so now I'm like, show I'm not wearing a shirt. And can you imagine you go there and you're like, I can't wear that. I'm an Arkansas fan. Right.

Because Auburn just beat the crap out of us because they're really good. That's right? And I like their coat. But now it's like, I can't listen to that, right? No. I can't listen to that. We got a new episode going up today with the Indiana Pacers, which didn't bother me because it's a protein. That's different. You don't have a protein. Right. So, but that's been on my mind.

That's one of you guys to know. That's the stuff that's been bothering me. You're good. Here's Amy's pile of stories. I have a list of unspoken office rules that we should never be breaking. Don't steal the business manager's wine inside the mail room. That's one. And have someone take a picture of it like lunchbox did. Yeah, one of the things in here is don't mess with other people's stuff.

Don't be down with OPP. Yeah. Other people's property. That's right. Yeah, what else? Oh. So if you've been in a meeting for a long time and the boss says, okay, anything else.

Don't have anything else. Don't be the one. Unless you have it, there doesn't need to be anything else. It should be something that you put in the middle, like of the actual conversation. Don't wait for anything else. But like if you're at the grocery store and they say, do you find everything you needed? I feel a bit different because if you're in a business meeting, other people are in there too and you're holding them all hostage.

That's the thing. Other people's time. Yeah. So don't do anything else. You can ask that question, but ask it before anything else. If it gets anything else, time's up. It's over. Okay.

Yeah. The third time you. walk past someone in a day doesn't require another hello. You say hi the first time. Yeah, I struggled the first time with that. I just do, there he is, or there she is. I do that if I don't know their name. Oh yeah, that's good too. Or like to talk about it's big dog. What a big dog. Never reheat something smelly like fish.

Okay, I don't eat here really. Oh, let's bring it from home. Some people do. Yeah. In a jar. Some people do what in it. Sometimes it gets smelly, but I'm not sure why. Unless you have a private office, never use your speaker phone. And then Don't schedule meetings first thing Monday or last thing Friday. Got it. Boom. Made all those notes.

What else you got? Spices expire. Oh, no. They do? Yes. The seat, that's the thing. A lot of people don't think to look at the expiration date on the spices. Now, I do think that you can go past the expiration date a little bit.

But this one story went viral about this mom that made her famous apple pie. And her family was like, Mom, something doesn't taste right. She's like, no, I did everything I was supposed to do. So they went and checked all the. ingredients and then they noticed that the nutmeg had expired. Why do you say that so weird? Nutmeg. I say nutmeg.

Nutmeg had expired 24 years ago. What? That prompted them to check the rest of the spices and a lot of them were expired. She been holding on to that nutmeg for a long time. But obviously we probably don't have some of the 24 years old, but I think from time to time just go through your spices and clear it out. Leanne Rimes shared on Instagram that she recently underwent a surgical procedure that addressed

pre-cancerous cervical cells. She's had a long history of abnormal pap smears, so she decided to deal with the issue before it became a real problem, and she went public about this to hopefully avoid, or, yeah, to avoid others maybe making a mistake, awareness.

If you have access to this sort of thing, she just wanted to encourage you. There you go. Thank you, Amy. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good.

George Klopp, senior, 97 years old, World War II veteran, loyal Cincinnati Bengals fan for over five decades. I mean, he'd never been to a Super Bowl. He's been gifted tickets to Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas by the Bengals. Sad news, Bengals aren't in it. No, no. And they lost their quarterback this year. But they're like, we still want you to go.

So they got him tickets. You know when they probably drew this up, they were like, we got a good shot to be there this year. Yeah. It'll be there. because it's still awesome. And Super Bowl's cool to go to, I guess. It's the lame.

It's cool. But once you go, you're like, I don't want to do that again. But you probably need to do that once to say that. You need to do it once just so you can... So you know. Because I'm telling you, it's all people. It's 80% people that don't care about the game. It, the halftime show on the field, you can't really see it.

The game's fine. Long commercials. Half time's way longer. I feel like that's any football game. Yeah, it's even more than any. But, yeah, he's not really missed a Bengals game in almost 50s. 54 years in Cincinnati. So shout out to the Bengals organization.

They have been planning this. He's going with the son and it'll be a, he's 97. That's awesome. Question. Just the 97. I'm not going to be bad here. Okay, that means it going to be bad. Go ahead.

The Bengals went to the Super Bowl a couple years ago, right? They may not know a story. New a story. You're telling me that now they just now found out about it. Maybe. Well, you always just find out about a story at some point. Kind of weird. Good point.

Yeah. How many years have you been going? So you think they purposefully didn't? Get him ticket. Hey, we could take George Klopp, who's been here for 50 years, or we could wait a couple years. I mean, they have ticket season, like season ticket reps. Probably been like, man, this guy's been buying tickets for 48 years. But he may not be buying season tickets. He may, I don't know.

I'm not getting, stop walking me down your road. I'm just saying. The road of despair. I didn't want to walk down the road to despair. Great story. Thanks, Bengals. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
