my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, the Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfilled conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.

So let's get to it. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed, I will be his last target. He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that trust your girlfriends.

Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Vodam. My next guest, it's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot.

But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on. A calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

Listen to thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So, welcome to the show. Morning studio. Morning. All right. So we're getting closer to Christmas. Everybody's festive, right? Oh, yeah.

It's just so early in the morning. Sometimes it cancels it out. Oh, ho, ho. No. I'm grumpy because it's early, but it's also Christmas. I love the Christmas season. Yeah, it's like right around the corner like a week away? Yeah.

Yeah. Why does you keep looking at his watch? I don't know. He didn't even go watch on. Yes. All right. So let's do a get to know a question. What is your go-to dance move?

Oh. You got one dance move to do. What is it? Eddie. The Roger Rabbit. Is that where you take your hands and you put them up? You go and then you go backwards. Like the running man?

It's kind of like a running man type thing. Yes. A backwards running man. That's my go-to, dude. I've been doing that since. what seventh grade. I mastered it in seventh grade. And now if there's like a dance floor and I'm in the middle of it, I'm doing the Roger Rabbit.

Maybe start with the Running Man and then morph into the Roger Rabbit. You don't know the difference, but I believe you. Running Man is straight. Right? And then do you want me to show you? Yeah. Let's show you. Start with a running man, right?

Okay. Running Man. Okay. Okay. And then do the Roger Rabbit. I got some space here. Go backwards. Okay.

Oh, is the extra little hump in there. Got it. Backwards. Got it. Yeah. That's my go-to. All right. I feel pregnant.

All right, lunchbox. I mean, if it's not the grind, I mean. They can beat the grind? Well, I mean, that's where you get up on a growing grind. I mean, that used to be back in the day. I don't really grind the air. That's kind of lame. But now it's more a beat that beat, Jersey, Jersey Shore.

Like, you know. Like punch the air. Yeah, hop on one leg and just kind of beat that beat. Oh, we did that one time in Vegas. We did it for three hours at a club in Vegas. On the same leg. And same leg, and we didn't realize it was for three hours, because we were kind of intoxicated.

And the next morning I got out of bed, and I couldn't walk on that leg. Oh, that sore. Oh, my gosh. You beat that beat that beat big time. Big time. Amy? I don't really know what it's called that I do.

I mean, if I'm just, like, dancing, like, with my friends in a circle or something, I mean, like, to one of Eddie's moves that makes me think of, like, kid and play, like, I'll probably find a partner end up doing that, you know, where you go. over your leg? You lock legs and hop around on one foot. Like that. I've never seen you do that. Never in my life.

Yeah. That's your go-to dance move? I just, if I, somewhere in the dancing, that may come out with a friend. But if I'm just in a circle, like, I just, I don't really know what you call it. Oh, mom dance. Yeah. Like, what's that called? Mom dance.

Okay. Well, that's, she's just going back and forth and crossing her hands. Like an X and then out. Yes. And then like, your feet go left or right. But I don't know. What about you? Mine's probably from...

But it's not fair. You're a dancer, man. Like a real dancer. Sometimes I don't want to jocis. I feel like I'm going to... The cha-cha. Cha-cha. Sure.

Or the Lombada. Labata. Whatever. I'd probably say the one from Greece where it's like the hips. Oh, the guns? Yeah, the guns on the hips. It's the very end with you're the one that I want. Oh, yeah.

You're the one I want. I can do that. That's probably the easiest one. That's probably the easiest one. Because I never know what to do with my hands. And with that, I know, make guns. You can put them both up in the air. I do that sometimes I'm waving around like I don't care.

Sometimes I want people to know. Sometimes I want people to know I care. Right. So I can't just wave around like I just don't care. But I've seen you do the celebratory hump the air dance. Yeah, that's not really a dance. That's just excitement. That's just me going hard and beating that beat my own way.

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, well, we're here. Get to know us a little better. Weird. Thank you. Let's get the show starting here. Bobby Bohn, show.

Let's go. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Owens. I've been dating this girl for five months. I thought I nailed her Christmas gift, given our time frame of dating. She had told me a couple months ago about a brand that she loves. So I went on her Instagram.

I found the brand. I bought her some shirts and lounge pants based on posts that she had liked on her profile. I had her sister help me out with the sizes. Gift is set and ready to go. But this past weekend, she out of nowhere gave me a clue to my Christmas gift and said, I'm going to be so surprised. She added that she can't wait to see my face when I open it. That leads me to believe she went and did way more than I did.

I'm thinking she got me something awesome now. And my shirts and lounge pants I got her are going to be lame in comparison. So I didn't step it up, get her something bigger, or did I do enough? Signed, boyfriend, anxious of a Christmas surprise. Yeah, that's tough one. So I don't feel like she's the type of person that's getting you a gift as a score keep, though. Right. And I think if you feel the same as I'm saying, where if she's getting you an awesome gift,

but she's getting it because she likes to get gifts for people, that could be her love language, that could be she loves you, I don't know. But as long as that is authentic, then it doesn't matter. Because I think she'll understand you've been together five months. And also I hate when people say, I got a surprise for you, because I always overbuild it. Somebody's like, oh, you, this surprise come. I don't want to know. You like surprises.

You just don't like knowing. I don't want to be told to have a surprise coming. I hate knowing have a surprise coming. coming. But if you can surprise me, that's great. I would not spend too much time invested in worrying about this because you don't know what she got you. Maybe if you're close to her sister, ask her sister, hey, this is a little bit tough on me right now. I'm anxious because she was bragging about how good her gift is. Do I need to step up my game? Because sister could do a little recon for you. Yeah, that's a good idea. But I wouldn't spend too much time worried about it.

You can always get her back on New Year's. How about one more gift? With a ring. What? Throw one more gift on it, just in case. Sure. Just in case you don't want, you don't want to be the one. Problem though is if you get a really great gift and she kind of gets you something crappy and she's described it wrong. You win though. But then she's like, you're being clingy. You're going too fast.

Yeah. That's too much, man. That's a weird time. Five months is a weird time for Christmas to come up because that's in that kind of purgatory spot. Like either you're just now a relationship, like a full relationship for a couple of months or you're not quite there, but it's still there. So I think you did good And if you felt like she's not someone doing it to keep score Then

Which do you want to be with someone that's going to get score? Yeah but sometimes you don't know until you know I'm big scorekeeper Well this is one way to find out If my wife would have known that she probably wouldn't marry me I love to keep score Good luck with that boyfriend anxious I'm surprised let us know what she got you

Thank you close it up We've got your email and we've read it on your hair Now it's about to close Bobby's mail bag Amy we explained our audience What the segment is when we spilled the tea Oh, well, normally it is someone that has something to say about someone else on the show, and that person has no idea what's coming. Like title telling.

It's like gossip, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's spill the tea. Let's spill the tea. People feel more comfortable now coming forward because they can be on voice changer. And we don't always know who it is. Sometimes we have fights about who it is. You feel protected when you do it.

Yes. Like if you're telling on the mob or something. Right. Right. Okay, so. Raymond, do you have the audio? All right, would you play it, please? A listener sent me a message that they gave lunchbox a whole bunch of lottery scratch-off tickets at a remote.

With the exception, he split his winnings with Abby. So I asked Abby and she hadn't heard anything. So is Lunchbox keeping the money for himself? First of all, is this true? The listener come up and give you scratch-offs and say you must split it with Abby? A listener came up to me at a remote. No, just answer the question. And handed me an envelope.

Okay. And said, here you go. I'm a huge fan. And then he goes, make sure you read the back. And on the back, it said, must split with Abby. But I'll be honest. I didn't know what he's talking about. I've never opened it.

You still have the envelope? Yeah. Unopened. Yeah. Of scratchoffs. I don't know if it's scratchoffs. That's the first time I'm hearing of it. How would you not open a gift somebody gave you?

I don't. Do you have it with you? I'll let me check. It's unlike you to get a gift and not demolish it immediately. Okay. He's digging through his bag. What's in there? It's from Superfan Pallone.

Turn it over. Two lunchbox, Superfan Pallone. It's opened. It's open and now you're trying to hold it shut. It's totally open. He's lying. He's lying. He even said.

P.S. any winnings need to be split. 50-50 with Abby. Okay, it's open. We see it. It's unflopped. It's not open. This it is.

Eddie, is it open? Yes, it's open. It's open. And what's in the envelope? Oh, wow. Lottery tickets. There's one lottery ticket. Only one?

Is it scratched yet? Was there more in there originally? Tell the truth. I'm going to check my back. What? So it fell out. He's always up to something. Did he?

he said before he went to get it? Let me be honest. I haven't opened it yet or did I imagine that? Yeah, no, he said that. Oh, there is another one. There is another one. Okay. That's not a scratch off that way. No, that's a, that's a mega million. I wonder if we won. You don't wonder, you've already looked. Have you won any money with that? I have no idea. You see, everything's scratched.

You're lying. It's all scratched off. Eddie. No, that's on scratch bones. The ticket's on scratch. Like I said, I never even opened it. Abby, you get to scratch it. What? I love it. Are we sure with the We're only like one in there? I think there's more.

He opened it. Because his face, he's lying. Yes, he's lying. But we can't prove what he's lying about. Right. I just opened it. And he just opened it. I didn't open it. It was already open.

I don't know how you want to handle this, Steve, but. I think Lushbox is stu him because I think he was planning on use this in the new year. That was like a bit. And now he has to do it now. There's definitely more scratches in there for sure. Do you have more scratchers in there? Oh, no. We got another mega millions, though.

I wonder if we want to any money on that. Well, let Abby scratch that. He keeps pulling things out. Yes. That's it. Okay. You got a book report from 10th grade on Pevee Long's talking. Okay.

There's more, though, scuba? You said there's more scratches? Maybe I don't know. Look at that backpack. Why do you lie so much? I didn't lie. I didn't open it. You did lie.

It was open. Who opened it? Your wife? Guys, it must have come open in my bag. Okay. Abby, you get to scratch it. We'll see if it's a winner. Okay.

Let's go. All right. Thank you. Whoever spilled that tea. Yeah, who was? I feel like it could be anyone. Who knows? That's my guess.

You get, why would... No, Amy, it didn't sound like Morgan. It didn't? No. Who did you think it sounded like? Mike D. No. Interesting.

Mike D. faking his voice. Because that's what everybody's doing now, fake it. Correct. I'll be like this. I'll be like, here's the thing I want to say. It has to be, because here's the thing. It has to be who. Morgan or Abby, because I feel like those are the two that probably check their DMs the most.

And Ray. And Morgan's job is social media. Hmm. Okay. Well, thank you. Whoever you are. We're going to protect your identity. Thanks for spilling the tea.

Lunchbox. Get together. Take it to Abby. Thank you, you guys. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, how makes nothing good.

Adam Adkison works at Home Depot in Tennessee, and he's at work. He's kind of looking through the shelf, stocking some items. And he goes, what is this? He pulls out an envelope that was left on the shelf with $700 of cash inside the envelope. So he turns it into the manager. The manager says, I'm not going to do anything. He's going to keep it here. and if anybody claims it for the rest of the day,

we'll give it to them. They have to describe exactly what's in there. No one claimed the money. So she says, okay, what do I do? Let's put this on social media. I'm just going to say I found an envelope. It described the envelope, not going to say what's in it and see if anyone responds. Well, somebody sees and says, hey, my business partner lost $700. I wonder if he was at Home Depot.

So he calls him up, hey, did you lose $700? Like, yeah, it's at Home Depot. So he goes and claims it. He got his money back. Wow. That's good. That's awesome. I love it.

I just, man, letting that out of my sight, I'm always like, how does someone, because they have $20,000 for a house, they've been saving up their whole life, and it was just in a, you know, shoebox, and they left the shoebox in the Uber. I don't, I would never stop looking at that thing. Yeah. I'd be scared to death. He probably just had it. He's like, oh, look, there's some oil, and he put it down for a second, check the oil out,

and then it's left. I had to get cash for something recently, and I was going to know those bank envelopes. Like, I had to go to the bank, pick it up. And then I was nervous my kids were going to get into it. So I hit it in a shoe in my closet in a boot. And within less than 48 hours, I forgot where I put it. That's Amy. I remember finally, but.

You did find it. Well, there was a woman who won a lottery ticket. She had a large in at $10,000. She couldn't find it. And was getting closer and closer to the end. We had to cash it in. And she had torn her house apart completely multiple times. And then finally she found it in a shoe as well.

She had hit it in a shoe. My dad, after he moved out because he left when I was like nine. And my mom was cleaning out the garage later and she found a glove, like a gardening glove. She found $500 cash stuck in there. He had hit it from his gambling days. And she kept it. That's unique. Glove?

Yeah. Eddie, good story. Thank you. Dad is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.

In 2023, former Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed, glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in silence, correct?

I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg, a lesbian, and Michael Marantini. My mind was blown.

I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges.

And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care.

So they take matters into their own hands. They said, oh, hell no. I vowed I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, let's talk to Cassie in Boise, Idaho.

Cassie, you're on the show. What's going on? Hi, Bobby. Good morning, studio. Morning. Oh, my gosh, this is so cool. Okay, so I'm calling because we are going to be surprising our 16-year-old son with a dog for Christmas. We have two right now, but he has been dying to have one kind of of his own, taking care of it, all that good stuff.

So we are going to adopt, so we're not going to actually have the dog on Christmas. and so we're going to fill up a box with probably some toys and treats for him, but we wanted to put in some type of note to kind of explain what we're going to do for him. And you guys are always so amazing at coming up with like little rinds and jingles. And I didn't know if you guys would be able to come up with something for us to put in the box for him. Do you have a video of the dog that he can see too once he opens the box? Because I know he can't be with the dog. So do you have something that he can see?

So we're actually not even going to pick out the dog prior because we want him to pick it out. This is something that he has talked about for so long. That's cool. He has wanted to adopt from somewhere. And so we want him to be able to pick out the exact one that he wants. So yeah, we won't even have anything to like show him at all. And he's a huge fan. He actually listened to this show with me.

and we've started listening to your 25 whistles podcast because he's a huge sports band and less football. He's actually been requesting to listen to your 25 whistles podcast when we get in the car, which is so fun. Oh, thanks. Well, this is what I would do. I would do a couple of things. You could put him where you could be like, write a little note, be like, I know it's been a rough year if there's been something rough, but RUFF. And then be, and then an arrow points, like, send him a little scavenger hunt. and then finally there's like a bone or something.

Like a little, that's fun too. Or you could give like a dog collar in a box or like a shirt like dog dad. And he's like, what the heck is this? Like when a dad finds out that he's having a baby. Like that's kind of funny too. And then he has to kind of figure it out. So scavenger hunt's fun or how I've seen some of my friends find out they're having a baby where they're like, why? Why is there a shirt that says number one dad?

Oh my God. But you could do, you know, like dog dad, dog best friend, whatever that situation is. And have them confused for a second and then tell them you're going to go. What's your son's name? I'll come up with him real quick. Yeah. It's Mason. All right.

Hey, Mason, guess what? We got something for you. I know that you've wanted a puppy with, and I don't want you to be blue. So it's not like the clues, the dog on TV, but you'll have this dog and you'll raise it with me. We'll make sure that it eats its food every morning. As long as you're there I don't know dude I get up in the morning

All right the end there you go No idea You're wondering something about blue You gotta pick up your shoes Because it's gonna be Left up to you to take care of this dog And pick up his poo Yep you know something that's something wrong that line

Yeah we're terrible Or just play the segment back Because you said he listens to the show Yeah how about this ready and action What's the name Mason? Mason All right Mason it's Bobby Bones What's up, dude?

Hey, guess what? You're going to have the coolest Christmas ever because I know what you've been wanting. You've been wanting to Oh, you've been wanting a dog. You've been wanting a dog. So if you look over at your mom right now,

look what she's holding. That's right. That leash is going to go on the dog that you pick out. That's right, buddy. Merry Christmas, Mason. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Woof, rough, rough, rough. Hey, we'll email you this clip. How's that? That is amazing. Thank you guys so much. All right. You have to get a leash. I have time.

Merry Christmas. Amy's only told us we're doing a mental health exercise. What's the deal? It's a primal scream. What does that mean? Is it something you do? I've done it before in my car. Like, I'm just like really like, ah, screaming, but I'm actually so crazy, angry,

frustrated or whatever in the moment, like going crazy. So it's more of like a, this is I think. You do it on purpose? Is it like a release? No, normally I'm reacting, but I'll go. go to my car and reacting to something. This is us being proactive and doing the scream for therapeutic purposes. I mean, some of us might be angry and frustrated right now. I don't know, but this is something that can be therapeutic in the moment and maybe prevent us from getting angry down the

line. So it's like, ah, like that. Was that primal? I mean, no, you need to go way harder than that. It's supposed to just be like this, relate. Let me read it to you. It's a type of psychotherapy that encourage people to address past trauma, negative memories, and you release it all in the emotions, and you just scream as loud as you possibly can. Like, ah, well, you've got bottled up feelings. Just let it all out. And it's going to be therapeutic.

Well, then would you mind leading up? I mean, no, I want us to all do it together. No, no, no, we want to hear that. Sensei, we want you to do it first. We want to hear yours. And Amy, are you thinking of something in particular when you do it, or do you just do it? Well, I think that we just, sometimes I do it. I said most of the time when I scream,

it's been because of a reason. So I'm thinking of the emotions that I'm having. We're right now. Don't say what it is. The motion is X. Okay. Don't screen right in the microphone, though. You know how a singer when they hit the big note,

they pull it down a little bit? Just move slightly to the side of it. Okay, here, are you going to blow your voice out? Are you going to blow your voice out? Probably. Just know, this is neat. I thought we would do it together. So this is very vulnerable.

Exactly. That's what therapy is. It's mental health. All right, here we go. Here's Amy being vulnerable with our primal scream. Pretty good. You have to go as long as you can. Like, I ran out of hair.

Oh, you do. Da-na, da-na. You can go as long as you can. I'm a little lightheaded now, but I think that's good. It's like a big release. I mean, I kind of heard an 80s metal song. I did too. You want to give it run, Eddie?

I mean, yeah. I'm not mad about anything. Oh, you are, though. The Cowboys suck. Oh, what did you say? Exactly. Longer. Longer.

All the stuff. What are you? Oh. Okay. Wow. I mean, his last is about half a second. That was really interesting. Yeah, you have to go.

It's cardio. Not good. Man, I like the hitting stuff. No, no, no, no, don't hit stuff. That's not the point of it. Oh, okay. That's a different kind of release. Lunchbox.

Yeah, you want me to scream, ma'am? Yeah, but like, what are you upset about? Anything? Yeah, having to come to work every day. Okay, that's good. All right. Yeah, I wish I could retire. You know what I mean?

I'm just frustrated with it. I don't scream right in the microphone. I don't scream in the microphone. I don't know what the thing. Final screen and go. I don't know what the... That's it. See?

You let it out. I feel like you let it out. I was that long. No, you're going. Ah. And then you did it again and again and again. And he says like, ah, ah. That's interesting.

I've never tried that. Morgan. Yeah. Gonna give it a run? Okay. She's mad and dudes on dating apps. Go. Here we go.

Really high pitch. You're supposed to like hold it though as long as you. Yeah, yeah. It's hard. Okay, okay. Okay, let me do mine. I dedicate this to our football. I know it's weird.

We just have to be. This is a. Sakes face. That's even frustrating. See, it's hard to go long. Amy was a record time. If I would go, ah,

I keep going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it's like, ah. Oh, man. Remember, yeah. I mean, that did feel good.

Scuba has his old lion's roar that he does, and that's therapeutic. And this kid, you can either do his lion's roar like that or you could do just a scream. You're all together?

I can tell Amy's done it a lot because she has a long word. Yeah, yeah. She's good up. She's conditioned. Yeah, yeah. She's conditioned. I have done it in my backyard once before, but then I thought, this is probably, that's why I was like, I need to move it to the car.

The cops didn't come. Because this could be, you know, received the wrong way. Scova, do you under your scream? Yeah, sure. Let's do it. From a screamo, a guy used to scream in a scream band. It looks like a primal scream, though, so just to kind of like let it out, like we're doing here. That's what this is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, primal scream. All right, and go. That scared me. That will wake you up and make you feel good about your time. Oh, my God. Call the cops. Wow, wow, wow. I clenched my butt on.

He is so weird. That is wild. I mean, dude, like what in the world? That was so good. All right, that's all together. But no, no promises. I might hit stuff again. Stop hitting things.

He's just saying, man. You feel it, you feel it. He's like your reaction. And he said, you're making a hit on the table so it sounds louder. Here we go. One, two, three. Amy's still going. Merry Christmas, everybody.

My voice is done. Now we're all done. We're fried. We're fried. Might need to primal scream over the holidays. Yeah. Woo.

Yeah, deal with your in-laws. Get ready. Get a little... That's what it is. You hear people in the room just screaming, that's what it is. Yeah. All right, thank you guys.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. All right, parents, we can't use Christmas as a bribe. What do you mean? What do you mean? Yeah, what? Well, so I'm guilty of this. It happens.

I use it with you guys. You mean kids. Yeah. We moms and dads, we use Santa as a way to encourage kids. to be good or else you're not gonna get. Don't say too much. There's a whole song about it.

Like, what do you mean? You better not out. Are you saying that's propaganda? What's the story? What's happening here? Well, just we can't do it. A parenting expert was saying that you're stooping to a low level. These parenting experts, they'll be like,

kid, would you mind if I spank you? Oh, no, you don't want me to? Okay, well, I won't. It turns the focus of Christmas into selfish gain on the part of your children. Just a healthy balance. We need to use other measures. Healthy balance of why and what the Christmas spirit is.

And then also give, give me, give me, give. But also give, give, give. So if you can manage that, then perfect. Being a parent's easy. You guys don't even have no idea. Sounds easy. What else? Why don't we give you our kids?

Exactly. Yeah, yeah. They come back. Okay. How long? Yes, forever. All right, go ahead. Okay.

I have the top Christmas icks to avoid. Okay. You know, if you're going to holiday parties, family things. The number one ick is getting too drunk. Oh, yeah. I can see that. Where if your person's so drunk, you're like, ugh. That's gross.

Christmas parties, though, man. Yeah, that's what you do. But too drunk, especially with somebody that you don't know, no. Yeah. If you're sloppy, that's tough. Yeah. And then at number two is just if you don't get along with your family or you know something's going to be controversial, but you bring up the topic anyway. All right, everybody.

You turkey good. How about politics, huh? Great. Putting a Christmas tree up too early, but I don't know. I'm okay with that. Who cares about that? Well, talking politics in specific is at number four. And then being hung over Christmas Day.

So you got to like watch it on Christmas Eve. That way you don't ruin the vibe come the very, very special day that everyone's getting together for. And I wouldn't say Christmas Eve is when Christmas parties happen, guys. That's just you drinking. With family things. Yeah. That's just you drinking with family. It's not like a Christmas party, like a work event.

Okay. What else? On Reddit, there is a poll happening for people to vote for the worst country song of the past five years. Okay. Oh, I was ready to go. I was about to fire off. Oh, man. Go ahead.

Well, do you want to... You just tell me the songs, and I'll tell you if I agree or disagree. Go ahead. Gosh, number seven, it literally says anything Luke Ryan has done for the last of years. Well, that's unfair and that's not true. I know. I don't agree. I know.

We know it's a poll. Okay, good. But I don't agree with that because that's just them being... They don't like Luke, so making everything bad. Wrong. Right. Okay. Six.

Think about me. Morgan Wallin. No, I like it. Yeah, I like it. The trouble that Morgan is getting into now, he's gotten so popular that he's starting to get a little bit of backlash because he's so popular. It doesn't matter what it is. You can be cold play, you mean Morgan Wallet, it can be frosted flakes. When you hit that threshold of everybody liking it, then it starts to be cool not to like what everybody likes.

I don't think people hate frosted flakes. I think they still like that. Back in the 30s, man, you have no idea. All right, what else? Stars like confetti by Dustin Lynch. Yeah, this song's kind of goofy. It's okay. It's fine.

That might be a little biased because of a girl Morgan, but yeah. I try not to be. I try not to be, but yeah, go ahead. Okay. Kane Brown's, like I love country music. Oh, this sounds awesome. Don't you dare talk about it about Kane Brown or this song. Yeah.

What else? Lainey Wilson, heart like a truck. I got a heart like a truck. It's so good. It's catchy. It's kind of a... And I love it. They're saying the last five years.

It's not the worst. It's not the worst. They're all pretty recent. But the first time. I heard it, I was like, huh. But I really like Laney, and it's really catchy. I like it. It's not the worst. But I did have a second where I was like, what?

Like a truck. Which one? Ford Chevy. Try that in a small town on there? Well, Jason Aldeen is on here, but I don't know if I know this song, ain't enough cowboy. You think by now that I'd be gone, but there ain't enough cowboy. Why's it got tea paint on it? Yeah.

Oh, more. Right off in the sunset too far right down the street. up when you call. The auto turns weird with him. No. Wow. I like when Aldine does sexy Aldine. I do like those vibes in a song.

Because I just picture him in his whitey tithy on a cowboy hat. Right, right, right. Hansen around the house. Make it in my bed. Burning it down. But that's a lot of T-Pain auto-tuned on that one. But he can sing. So that was a style choice.

Right. That's interesting. Okay. Well, I wholeheartedly disagree with the number one. You said Lanny Wilson. No, no, no. Oh, I thought you said that was number one. No.

Number one is, Fancy like Walker Hayes. Yeah, we fancy like apple bees on a day night. That's a Burma Street. What do you disagree about it? Well, I don't think it's the worst country song. But it's got to be super big to even be considered, right? Because the worst country song, nobody even heard.

Oh, right, right, right. Well, that ain't enough cowboy? I never heard that one. Okay, I like that song and then I just heard it so much. I didn't like it anymore. Right. And then I like it again sometimes when it comes on. Because I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot.

I used to like that song. And there's the Christmas version. Then I didn't like it. it again when he did that. Oh, I think he's cute. Yeah, but I don't care. Who cares what I think? Right. Yeah. Make your money is what I say. Is that it? Yep, but maybe that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stores.

It's time for the good news. Which Bobby? Tell me something good. That's a good one. Lauren Bresenno attended a gathering of her fellow volleyball players at their coach's house. They were watching the bracket selection for the tournament, the NCAA volleyball tournament. And so they're all around and they did a white elephant gift exchange or everybody brings a gift and it all gets oh i'll take that or i'll go and pick from the pile

and so lauren is seen unwrapped in a couple of gifts which can get taken away by the rules so you have something cool and someone's like i'd rather have that then Lauren gets okay i'm gonna go and I'm gonna grab this she opens it up and boom she gets a scholarship they had tried to strategically plan it so she got the box that opened it up and it said you just have a full scholarship wow Wow. And then it got taken away? No, she got to keep it. The paper stated that Lauren's getting a full scholarship for the fall, spring, and summer semester.

She broke down the whole room, started cheering. Tuition at Baylor is like $50,000 a year. She was having to pay it herself. But now she, you know, they always do these big scholarship announcements. And everybody's like, ah, that's how she got hers. That's so cool. That's an awesome. And that's what's all about right there.

That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'll say it. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor, the fourth. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media.
