Come on, Bobby. Welcome to Thursday show. Morning, studio. Morning. Scoop and Steve's running what Ray normally does for the next half hour. So, hey, scuba, do you have an intro, for me. Oh, I didn't even think

about that. Oh, okay. So, no, okay. So you have a few minutes because we're going to go around the room. And when it comes to me, though, you have to make a rhyming intro for me. Okay, yeah, I think I remember how this goes. Oh, I have a good one? No, no, no, no, no. Thank you, Scoop's deep. We'll come back to you in just a second. All right. If you have a few, let us know, too. We can work through them. Okay, cool. Yeah, let's go over to Eddie first.

His son asked his bus driver to turn on the Bobby Bone show on the bus, and Eddie was really excited that he wanted to listen to us. Here he is, Eddie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, guys, so when I was younger, it was really cool when we'd go to, like, a town. We would drive, like, four hours to San Antonio or whatever, and my dad knew all the hole in the walls. It was just weird. Like, we would be like, oh, that looks good.

Like restaurants? Yeah, a little restaurant. We'd stop there, and they had the best tacos in San Antonio. We're like, wow, dad, how did you find that? He'd be like, I don't know. I just kind of, like, looked at it. It looked like a cool place. Ended up being awesome.

So when we were in Memphis, I tried to do the same thing. Oh, he spotted one. I spotted a deli. It was like underneath like a building, like maybe a 10-story building. The very bottom it said deli and a little neon lights. I'm like, boys, let's do it. Let's try it out. This could be the best meal of our lives.

We go. There's no one in there. Kind of looks like a money laundering place. Oh, you know, we're like no one's in there. There's one dude working the back. And we order. We get the food and we're like, wow, really not that good. So we go.

We go to sleep. The next day, all of us either had diarrhea or we threw up. Oh. You just say food poisoning. Wow. All of us. Every single one of us. So there's a reason

there wasn't anybody in there. Correct. You don't have the gift, though, that your dad had either. No. But I was going to ask you guys, do you ever do that like when you travel? No.

Yeah, I like to go to places that aren't, like if you can go to a city and it's the same restaurant as your other city, it's like, I don't want to go there. You try something new. Or I go, it's just as good as the one at home.

Right. The franchise? Yeah, like, how does this rate against the one at home? But yeah, that's, it was not a good call. What did you order? I had a sub, a meatball sub.

How does that make that? I don't understand. I mean, the meat did look kind of off color. Oh, the meat. Yeah. It looked a little weird. Dude, that's rough. My wife had a chicken salad sandwich.

Oh, no. Chicken sandwich. Hey, that's Memphis, man. Bro. Yeah, not good. All right, moving on. Jason Gibble is his alter ego, and it's been a minute since Jason's been on the show. Lunchbox.

Guys, you guys talk about I'm not a music guy. You don't care about music, but I am changed. I've turned over a new leaf. I'm excited. excited about music. I was doing some sleuthing on the internet, and I found that there are rumors that my boy, M&M,

is dropping an album with 50 cents. Woo! That they're doing an album together. Hey, middle-aged men rapper coming together. That is going to be straight fire. Hot-A-Rab. Stop. If you don't think Eminem still has it,

he is going to bring it. You're just saying cliche things. Got drop. Hey, you know that he has? it he's gonna bring it i'm sure to be fine i know you love them i i was like wow but you're sleuthing or was that just a headline that you saw this is a headline on twitter but i was scrolling yeah yeah yeah yeah it's funny we still call it twitter too even though it's it's it's not officially but how do you if you say you tweet what do you do you x you no you can say

oh it's weird i was i was rolling on x that's i'm saying that part's weird too i still call it the drug yeah all right well um i hope they do a tour and you can go oh my god what if we can get them on the show talk about the album that'd be cool man That would be awesome. I would do that. Yeah. That'd be cool. She posts videos of Cardinals on her Instagram and you never know when she'll fall for another scam.

It's Amy. So my friend was telling me about this website. It's called Facecheck.id. And you can drag a screenshot or an image from the internet of someone, like if you want to know more about them, and drag their picture into the little slot on the website and it'll pull up all different kinds of things about them. This could come in handy, for instance, if you're on a dating app, app, which is what she uses it for. And she said, a lot of times you only know their first name and you see a little bit

about them and what they look like. So it's hard to find out details. And if you drop it in there, you can find out their last name. And then you learn way more about them. Then you back go check them. Then you go to the house. Then you watch them to the window. Yeah.

That's so weird. I mean, regardless of what you want to use this for, it's so cool that it exists and I had no idea. Yeah. Technology is wild in that I was watching a commercial. And I know Mike D does it sometimes too, but you can take a picture of something and put it on the internet. It'll show you exactly what it is where you can buy it immediately.

I saw the Android do that where they're watching like a show and he wants like that red cat or something and so he takes a picture of it puts in his phone and it pulls up all the places you can buy that exact thing. Wow. It's crazy. Amy, this website will help you out because it says it'll

check for scammers. So anybody that comes to your door or anything, take a picture or put it on here. Or if the person that you'll date, if they're also a scammer, you're knocking both out the same time. Yeah, you find out lots. It'll show you their social media. I did put in this one guy I was trying to figure out his last name.

And then I don't know. I didn't recognize him. All these famous, well-known people came up. I'm like, that's not... I don't know. It was weird. They all did look like him, sort of. But they were not him.

No. That'd been cool, huh? Yeah, and there's 646,000-259,000 9505 faces online. Yeah. On their way. Will you make sure that's accurate and start counting. We'll check with you later.

All right. Scoo Steve, let me hear what you got for me. I got a couple here for you. Here's the first one. Bobby Bones in his zone, chasing sign jerseys alone. in his quest, he's quite obsessed. Each autograph is a precious stone.

Here's Bobby Bones. Wow, that's a lot. That was a lot of rhymes. I hear you. I wasn't expecting it to be that intense. That was a rap. No, I liked it. Usually Ray goes from Mountain Pine, Arkansas,

and then he makes a rhyme, but it's not Ray doing this. I'm not Ray, though, yeah. Exactly. I was just... It's different style. Yes, I was just surprised at the technique. Okay, what's the other one? Okay, the other one.

Bobby Bones, tunes and tones, Radio King on the microphone, with wit that hones, his style groans, and laughter's thrown. He's widely known. Bobby Bones! Maybe he was inspired by him and him. Nope.

I know. Wow, that was really good. Stones and bones. You wanted something for me. That's what you get. Whoa, easy. We liked it. That was good, dude.

That was actually pretty solid. We liked it. We liked it. Okay. I have two things here that I was going to get to yesterday. I'll do both of them. Number one is I accidentally made a 30-minute video on my phone recording my screen. So I'd hit record, screen record.

You know how you pull the thing down and hit that button. and I didn't know. It recorded 30 minutes before I was like, oh crap. So I have it saved in my phone. I think that's so interesting to watch somebody else if they don't know their screens being recorded and see what they look at for 30 minutes. That's funny.

Like if I were to load the whole 30 minute video on YouTube, I haven't even looked at. I don't know what I looked at. And I know I don't look at anything bad. I don't think. But how about, how fun would that be to go watch what somebody else is looking at on their phone for half an hour? Like that would be a new odd social media thing.

You don't ever do that? Like when people are like, sitting in a doctor's office or whatever and you... We got real specific here. No, I'm not. Tell me more. And someone's scrolling on their phone. You don't just sit there and look and say, I wonder what they're looking at.

You just kind of lean over and check it out? I don't, but I would be interested except for the whole creep part. Yeah, especially at a doctor's office. I'm not trying to lean next. But I have a 30-minute video. I'm saying that's loading it up on YouTube. Yeah, do it. I bet people watch it.

You just can't know you're being recorded. Like, I didn't know. Because I'd never record 30 years. But I mean, do you turn it off for like 20 minutes? And hopefully you don't go to your bank account. originally recording. Oh, I should have somebody. Yeah.

See it if I want a jersey. Oh, the stream? Yeah. I was trying to see if I want a jersey. That's funny. Yeah, I didn't know. So I have that. And the second thing was I have a suit for somebody on Instagram that hit me up like two months ago because they're getting married.

And I can't find them because I don't let all my messages. So if you're that person. Oh, man. I'll send your message. How are you going to know? I'll remember because they says something specific to me. And I was like, oh, I. kind of that size and I have a bunch of suits that I just give people usually online that

needs suits. And so if you're that person, you listen to me now, message me and talk to me what we've already talked about and I'll send you a suit. So put the same storyline of like, why they need it? Okay. Okay. And why? I like, I know a couple specific details, but I don't know the name. Right, but you want them to write that again? I need to, I didn't approve it to them. Okay. So I have that. And then I was going to talk about the palette. We still haven't sold the palette because I get a lot of messages about that. So we need to move, we need to move it. Yeah, dude, I need money. We need to move the pallet.

We need to do it. Yeah, yeah, we're moving. Scoba. Moving and grooming. I'm going to put this on you now. Oh, boy. No, no, no. We've been taking pictures and working on descriptions so we can put it all up.

Okay. Oh, we have? Yeah. I told you that couple weeks ago to do that, and I haven't seen anything. Well, yeah, just because you haven't seen it. Follow up. I'll follow up. Yeah, I'll circle back on you.

I just told you. Okay, well, we'll get that. Thank you. Let's open up the mailback. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call. Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Vones.

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year. I love him dearly. He recently told me he can't stand my best friend. He thinks she's a bad influence and doesn't respect our relationship. My best friend and I have been friends for almost 25 years. Through thick and thin, I cannot imagine cutting her off. I'm torn between the two most important people in my life. How do I navigate this without losing someone I care about?

Signed between a boyfriend and a best friend. Only a year in. You need chunk of deuses to that dude. If that's your best friend of 25 years, most relationships don't work. Or is he seeing something you've been unable to see because of the bond for so long? 25 years, no, no, no. I would think if he thinks she's, like, you have to assess if someone's a bad influence on you, but here's a long time to date somebody. 25 years is a long time to be best friends with somebody.

Yeah, I'd say that's longer. But just a chunk of use. And like, what are the odds? If you're playing odds, you're doing numbers, doing percentages. Who's going to have the higher percentages? They're going to be in your life to help you in four years. Which one of those two? Probably the friends.

If she's reliable. Probably the friend. He seems to maybe think she maybe one of me. You got to wonder what he doesn't like about it. Yeah. And does she like him? And what, no, I feel like this dude is no good. Okay.

There is something that's making him feel insecure. There's something he's threatened by with this friend. don't know what it is, but it doesn't seem healthy. If it's been your friend for 25 years, I think you'd be able to recognize a lot of the toxic traits. True.

Over that amount of time. And if he's told you the toxic traits and you're like, I don't think that's true or I don't agree. I'd cut him. You didn't need to have all the talks. Like, hey, tell me why. But if you have to decide,

you cut the dude. It's only a year. Probably a mirroring him anyways, a loser, I could tell him. Just from that. It's one of those things where if somebody has a best friend 25 years, you just have to learn it. You just have to learn to like them.

Or learn to like something about them so you can be around them. And just shut your hole. Because that's a hard thing to tell somebody. It's like they have a pet they've had for seven years. You start dating them. I hate your dog. Yeah, well, you're out. Goodbye.

Kick. Set curb. I just kicked you to it. So I don't like how this feels. I would definitely talk to him, see if there's something a little more rational. find out what he's threatened by but probably just got to move on get you a real winner

Yeah what if this is a he's starting with the friend And then he slowly moves on to The family exactly he wants to Govite and conquer It's happened many times I've heard of that In earth not with me In earth

All right thank you close it up We've got jerky mail and we've read it on the air Now it's about to close Bobby Bell back Yeah There are a lot of things on our culture that we just say congratulations too. Amy's the one that gave me this story, but there's a list of things that we automatically congratulate. Well, for example, if somebody does what, you congratulate them.

You get a new job. Boom, that's a good one. A new car. Congratulations, dude. That's awesome. That's a nice car. I would say graduating. Yeah. That's good. Getting married. Having a baby. Yeah, have a house. Get a house. Ray, congratulations. Yeah. Are you guys in? No, no, no, no. A couple more days, I think. Just days? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're on your new house. Wow. The list of things they say we should automatically congratulate new baby starting a business, buying a house, getting married, buying a new car, starting a job. And here's the list of things we should also congratulate, but we don't always think about congratulating.

When someone says they're going to therapy for the first time. Congratulations. That sounds weird, dude. I was about to say like, congratulations, but that's, uh. Maybe I would say, hey, good for you. That's better. Yeah, I think it's. Congratulations is weird for going on.

The word congratulations is being used, but it just, and picture it just something to be celebrated. But it says congratulations. I know. How about ending a toxic relationship? Oh. Good for you. Hey, congratulations. He was a freaking loser.

Yeah, that sounds weird, man. Congratulations, you did a hard thing. Quitting a dead end job. Okay, that one I can sign up for. Fighting suicidal thoughts. Being in recovery. It gets real dark. I don't think congratulations is such a happy word that I would be like,

hey, I like good for you for some of these or keep it up or I know it's hard. Or someone celebrating a year sober. Would you say congratulations? Yes, I would say congratulations on that one. Do you change your tone maybe from like, congratulations to like, congratulations or congrats? Well, if someone is going to therapy, I don't think I'm like, congratulations. So you say, congratulations.

Hey, I would just say good for you. Still sounds weird. So I have congratulations for you guys, what I would say congratulations for, for lunchbox, for getting email on his phone finally. Oh, yeah, still not there. What? Not there. What do you mean? He's got a cough.

No, no. I don't have email on my phone. I thought you got it. No. Oh. Do you have to cough? I was going to, but I, I surprised it. You can turn your mic off in your coffee. Congratulations.

Yeah, there you. Congratulations. Congratulations for holding your cough that you've ever eight months. Got it out. Eddie for being allowed to play golf with four kids at home. Congratulations. That's a big one. Amy, for not doodling for at least five minutes.

Congratulations. Wow. You have doodled less and less. Yes. You've really been focused. I'm medicated. So. Congratulations.

Congratulations. Hey, congratulations, Amy. Therapy. Yeah, medication. All right. So, yeah, those also, congratulations just isn't the word all the time. What would we do for you?

Oh, hey, dude, you had a full night's sleep. Congratulations. I didn't know. But he hasn't. No, I know, but you will. No, no, but you're saying stuff that has happened. Right. I thought he said his email was on his phone.

I was like, congratulations. And he's like, nope. Okay, all right. Congratulations on getting offered something that you're not allowed to tell us about. Congratulations. Congratulations, Bones. But you don't know what that is. You woke up today.

Thank you. Congratulations. Wow. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Hey, I hope there's something good. Guys, you know Travis Kelsey. He plays tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He's a Super Bowl champion.

And of course, he's dating Taylor Swift. They're in love. Now, we've heard a lot of good things about Travis. He does a lot of good things for the community, including this. This is awesome. He partnered with Codiac Cakes, which They make like breakfast bars, granola bars, pancakes, oatmeal, stuff like that. And he donated 25,000 meals for students in need.

And on top of that, his mom, Donna, she had a cookie bake sale. She also donated some of the profits to that. Wow. So the Kelsey family is all good, dude. They're all into it. The brother, he takes a shirt off, drinks beer. That has nothing to do with the snow. No, but seems like a good dude.

Did you see where, but not in America, Canada, you could bet if he was going to propose to Taylor after the Super Bowl? Oh, I'll take that bet. Well, yeah, but there are odds, obviously. And the favorite is he's not? Right. Is it like plus 300, meaning if you were to bet 100, you'd win 300. Yeah. But you can't bet in the States.

It was only like Canada. Ah, dang. But one of my friends was like, hey, should I bet this who lived in Canada? I said, no, you shouldn't bet that he's going to propose. He said, why? I said, because, well, he for sure won't propose if they lose. So that's 50-50 already. Yeah, true.

I said, and then he's, you think that's what they would want him to, like, take the attention off of, if they won, then you can take the attention off of that. Disaster. Yeah, it would work out perfect for the relationship. But you know what, though? If they did lose and they're on the podium doing the whole Super Bowl speech.

They lose? Yeah, say they lose, right? And then San Francisco's like on the podium, I would get in the trophy, and then they showed on the field. That's funny. That would be cool. That would be hilarious. That would I would sign up for. They're like, who's watching this? They would cut away from the championship in a heartbeat.

Oh, for sure. In the middle of one of the speeches? They should even fake it if they lose. That would be. awesome. Good job. Good job, Travis Kelsey. 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. I don't care what you're saying.

Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

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. I 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 podcast. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Vodom. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell.

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah.

He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, 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. Our show, Swifty, Lauren, is in studio. Are you happy about Taylor Swift and make it to the Super Bowl? Very happy. I love her. And I think she's going to look great there. And are you annoyed with people that are annoyed with her?

Yes, it's so annoying. It's just, she's on the screen for a few seconds. I don't understand why everyone just gets. so upset about it. Did you see where she was like go away, thank you. Yes, I did see that. She doesn't want the attention. Yeah. Yeah. She doesn't. She's an entertainer. Well, I think at first

I think everybody's probably in that camp surprise at how it's kind of turned on them. And some people really, I think it's in a way hurt her likeability to a certain group that doesn't matter. Wow, that's crazy. And it's made even Travis Kelsey like, not a bad dude, but like the bad

guy because he's everywhere. I used to have no problem with him, but now he's everywhere. I mean, I can't even click on a website. Any? Wow. Well, only fans. Good for him, though. He's super famous now. But it, but it is being, I feel

like it's being shoved down our throats, and that's why I just get annoyed. He was on three commercials in a row at one time. Really? During the game, yeah. But I'm not annoyed with it. No, I'm not annoyed with it, either. I think people who are annoyed with it are kind of being haters. Haters and a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Shake it off. Yeah. Just shake it off. Tearrops

on their own guitars, you know what I mean? All right, we're going to play Elder versus Millennial, which, which by Eddie wants to say something first because he's he has asked me to give Morgan a yellow card even though she's not in the game. Correct. Why? Well, what happens, you know, sometimes you have the game, but off the field? Yeah, yeah. People say stuff.

What did she say? I heard Morgan say that she thinks that Elder versus Millennial is rigged for me to win. Hey, you're losing. That's what I said. That's what I said. Because Eddie, Eddie kept coming in and he was like, Lauren, so much better than you. I was like, Eddie, you forget that I was up against you four to zero.

Like, it's just how the game goes. Morgan, you forget that I dominated you and now Lauren comes in and I can't win. Lauren, three to one right now. She's dominated. I'm not giving her a yellow card because she's a spectator. But I'll be thinking about that whenever she gets back in. Yeah, you can't get cards off the field.

Or can you? Oh, you can be asked to leave the stands. That's true. That's a good point, Lerner%. That is true. That kick you right out of there. Elder versus Millennial up first. He's a dad of four.

I call him the Hispanic who don't panic. In games, he always seeks a victory. But don't insult his chicken by calling it rotisserie. It's producer Eddie! I love that one, Bose. Eddie, you got three questions. Come on. Swifty Lauren would know the answer to these most likely, so don't miss it.

Okay. Justin Timberlake's chart-topping song, Rock Your Body, and here's a clip, is a track off of what 2002 album? What? Okay, I don't know. I don't know the album names. I'm just going to say, bringing sexy back. Oh, interesting. No, incorrect.

Lauren, do you know that? Justified. Correct, justified. Justified? Justified? It's actually a good name. for an album. Eddie. What app allowed sharing

six second video loops and was very popular with millennials. Six seconds? I remember Vine was five seconds. There's video loops. I'll go with Vine because I don't know anything else. Oh, it's Vine? Oh, cool. Let's go. Before becoming famous, where did Harry Styles

work? Before One Direction? Because he got famous in One Direction. Before becoming famous, where did Harry Styles work? I think Harry She's Derry Stiles. He seems like a coffee shop kind of guy. I think he worked at the coffee shop. That's incorrect. Lauren, can you steal?

Wasn't it like a bakery in London or something? No. Of course he was. Did they have coffee there? The baker. Bakery, Eddie. No copy of the baker. I don't know that coffee or not with the bakery.

All right, let's introduce Eddie Zepona. She is our youngest producer, her rookie season. And this game is out of control and she's looking forward to seeing Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl. It's Swifty Lauren. Okay, Lauren. Let's score 2-1. Lauren, what is the name of the blue and white droid

introduced in 1977's Star Wars? Here's a clip of what it sounds like. R2D2. Correct. Oh, wow. How does she know that? That's crazy. That's crazy.

That's crazy. What rock guitarist played on Michael Jackson's song, Beat it, and here's a clip. Eddie will know the answer to because they're older. Do you know that? Van Halen? Correct. Really? That was a guess.

Eddie Van Halen? Eddie Van Halen? That's crazy. I hate that. She's so good. How does she know that? I don't know. She's already won.

How old are you? Lauren? Seven. That's ridiculous. You shouldn't know those answers at all. Well, no, it's okay if she does, Eddie. No, she really shouldn't. Like, how is she so smart with that stuff?

Like, she must know a bunch of useless information. You know, I do know a bunch of useful information. Yeah. What British singer who released a 1987 song never going to give you, up is credited with Rick rolling here's a clip. Rick Astley She's a genius. She's already going to win her anyway, but yes there she is a winner again.

We're going to win the Super Bowl, Lauren. I kind of want the 49ers because I do want to see somebody other than the Chiefs, but I've learned to never bet against the Chiefs. Like I do. What about Travis? Listen, I love Travis and Taylor, but like, you know, I'm kind of wanting to. You're tired of it? I'm kind of tired. I want to see somebody

else win. I have nothing against the 49ers or the Chiefs, but it'd be nice to see someone else win, but do you see where you could bet on that if they're going to if he's going to propose. Yes, I did see that. It's a little early, right? Yeah, and I don't think he's going to propose on the field. I feel like that's almost like proposing at somebody else's wedding.

It's like taking away the attention. But I think he is going to propose by the end of this year. Wow. He'd be dumb not, too. Yeah, I agree. Didn't she move into the mansion? I think she's living in Casino. She is living with him and then he plans on after the Super Bowl to go on tour with her internationally.

I mean, she's with that Joe Allen for six years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we never saw pictures of them. Well, they wanted to keep it private. Yeah. Exactly. Maybe that was him. He's an actor.

But it was him and he's kind of like a nobody. And they got together when that whole like she was getting canceled. So she was very like just private and public. Yeah for six years. Now times have changed. But I'm saying if you're Joe Allen and you're like, man, we had to stay secrets the whole time. Exactly. And then Travis Kelsey, dude comes along got big muscles and all of a sudden he gets him super famous.

Because he's definitely like getting an extra endorsement deals. Massive. Oh, yeah. actually pierce the consciousness of pop culture. Yeah. Instead of just being a really good football player. Yeah. And so...

She put him on the map. Swiftie Lauren is to this show what Travis Kelsey is to America. What was that? Dominating. That's it. Boom. That's it. Good morning.

There you go. Another one for her. I'd be honest with me. Don't worry about my feelings. Everybody. But also don't take shots at me just for the gamesmanship of it. We'd never do that. No, no.

We're just being honest. I can already tell by the tone of their voices. This is not going to be, you're going to try to hurt me. But okay, I have a friend, not a close friend, but somebody that I know we text back and forth. He is a professional golfer. Okay. And so he plays on the PGA tour and we'll text like every few weeks or so. If like he plays well in the tournament, I'd be like, hey man, what up?

He hit me the other day and was like, hey man, and talk to him how you been. I was like, good. And I said the following. And what I need to know is if I came off stalkerish or creepy or lame or just a good buddy. Or all three. Or just a good buddy. I want that to be an option too. All the above.

Yeah, you forgot all the above. I love chess when they have all the above because I always picked that. Or just a good buddy. Okay. I said, and again, we probably talk every two weeks, three weeks ago. I said, hey, hope you well. I said, hey, I saw your last tournament. How'd you feel when you played?

He said, I was happy. Game feels better this year. I think I'm going to be dangerous this year. I said, this is when I said something that could possibly be considered too much. You're making me nervous. I said, that's awesome. I'm always keeping up. I have my alert on every time you play on ESPN.

Oh, man, that is. Hold on. Is that creepy? Because there's an alert. Well, it means when they're playing, it's like it tells me a score, it keeps up with them. The notification comes on? Yeah, anytime anything happens. You can do that?

Yeah. With anything. Any sport? Yeah. Any player? Because I have it set for Arkansas basketball, Arkansas football, Arkansas football. And this guy? Arkansas baseball.

Okay, here's the thing. It's absolutely creepy. It's awkward. I said, I'm always keeping up. You're all my alerts on ESPN. And what did he say to that? Not a lot. He said, uh...

He said, uh, see you soon. Peace fingers. Oh, yeah. Peace. Like, I'm out. Like, I'm getting out. Oh, no. Never again.

Yeah, like peace. Because he doesn't really use emojis. Like a restrained order. There. Like, you should have just played it cool. You always told me to play it cool. But I wasn't playing it. I just was like, hey, I'm keeping up with you.

I keep you on the ESPN alerts to see how you're playing. Every time you play, it tells me. I feel like, yeah, that's what a friend did you. No, you say, oh, I looked at the last tournament and saw you did this. Not every time you hit a shot, I get a notification that comes through the phone. Like you sound like a stalker. Am I a stalker or possibly a good friend? Honestly, your reaction to that.

Gosh. It doesn't sound crazy. No, don't let them convince you. I'm not. I think that you're a good friend. No, no, you're just saying that. Because I read them. No, I think that's what a good.

If one of these teen moms, I got to learn every time they change the diaper, would I, but this is a sport that they cover on television. Well, maybe they do all it. A, I think that's what a good friend would do. And then B, because you're not a stalker, you're able to say that. So if I was a stalker, I wouldn't say that. I would just secretly do it. Oh, right, right, right.

That is a great point, Amy. Okay. Eddie? I try to sit on this for a little bit, just to kind of. Is it close in your mind? Oh, yeah, really close. There's a fine line between soccer and. and support a friend.

Because at first I'm thinking, you know what? Like, if I were on the tour, you would for sure do that notification and be like, dude, I follow you, I follow your shots. Like, good tournament, bad tournament, whatever. But I don't know if you're that good of a friend to him. Like, you talk every two weeks, not really a best friend. I'm saying stalker, borderline stalker.

But what if he listened? I know he listens to the show some. Yeah, but does he say, hey, man, does he have alerts? I don't get an alert on every tweet that you guys put up or, you know, Or every time you guys post on Instagram, my phone doesn't go off. Okay, so we have one. It's okay.

Eddie says it's stalker feeling. It's close to the middle, but you're on the stalker side. Okay. Watch your box. Lame, stalker. You are all the above. All the above. Lame wasn't an option.

What? Lame wasn't an option. No, it was. It was option C. Oh, okay. What would you have said if you were me then? Meaning what I meant. All you had to say is like, oh yeah, I saw the scores.

It looked like you had a good tournament. I'll check it out when you played next. But you geeked down on Johnny Bananas and like, Yeah, I know. Love them. That's what I'm saying. And you said I was stockerish and I probably blew it. And that's why Johnny Bananas didn't want to be my friend now.

It's because I. You did blow it. You yelled at him now. And here it takes one to no one. I'm not him. Morgan, okay, quick thought. Then we're going to be doing this. What do you think?

I don't think you were. Can you refresh my mind? How many times have you hung out with this guy in person? Oh, that's a good question. I don't know that you said. I feel like that matters. Two. Two.

And very close to each other. What year? what that means. As in like the same week. Yeah. Okay. Because it was at the same event. Yeah.

I would say because it's only two times hanging out, you might even back off just this minute. Oh, no. But I don't think it's lame what you said. I think what you said is good and I think that's being a good friend. Who got whose number? I don't know. We could tell by the text.

If you go back to the beginning. I don't want to. I think that piece emoji really meant like... Well, no, I changed numbers, though, remember recently? So since then, I'll go to the top. True. I just said, hey, Bobby's new number. And then he said, Bobby Who?

He said, Bobby Peas. No, this is the first time that we ever messaged. I said, this is January 31st of 2023, so one year. Oh, great to meet you. Good luck this week. Hey, do you say good luck every week? Oh, boy. No.

God, I'm such a loser. Every tournament. Hey, good luck me. I'm such a loser. It's the tough one. All right. Hey, hold 12's got some water. Be careful. Don't hit it to the right. I'm such a little. It's like I got this, dude.

All right. Well, I have some work to do on myself. Here's a voicemail we got last night. Hey, Bobby. I just wanted to get a few updates from you guys. Whatever happened with the homemade pickleball court you were trying to build. Second thing is what happened with those Tiffany sandglass windows that you sold, where they, did they sell for a bunch of money? Does security stop that?

Thank you for those questions, number one. The homemade pickleball court that I was going to build if I couldn't get someone to build it. I finally found a company that would come and build it. The problem is when it has to set the asphalt, et cetera, it has to have a certain amount of 60-degree nights, so it can't be fully done probably until late April or May. But they're going to start in the next month or so,

and I don't even have to do it myself on YouTube. Wow. Yeah, we were worried about that, dude. Yeah. It'd have been awesome. It'd have been crooked. Slanted. Yeah.

It'd been awful, but it'd have been hilarious for me to have to build my own pickleball court. And the Tiffany Glass, we have them put away somewhere. That house we're selling, but we took them down and they're in a special place. Lunchbox can sell them for you. No, he can't sell the pallet that we spent 50 bucks on. Right, right. No, no, I can. I'm working on it.

Yeah. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Well, this is kind of cool, but also scary because researchers, at the University of Tokyo have created a robot that uses lab-grown muscle tissue. So it's a two-legged robot and it mimics human movement. It can walk. It can turn. That's nothing.

I know that's a big story, but I saw robot that can make free throws. Like a basketball player robot? Does it have lab grown muscle tissue? Who cares? It was 100% from the free throw line. 100%? Yeah, it didn't miss a single free throw. And they moved it back to 3.

And it made like 4 or 5. Whoa. So whatever, science, people have injuries and get their stuff fixed. Whatever. 300% from free throws. I mean, I hear this story, and what I hear in my head is they're developing ways for people that have injuries, for people that have been disabled to have a chance to move again. You know, they put that brain chip that Elon Musk had put in chimps in their first human. I don't know if they should say who the human is yet, but the goal with that is, too, is to give people that have been paralyzed or have different deficiencies, the ability to not.

And so, yeah, it seems risky, seems crazy. But 100% free-throw line? What else you got to say? Okay, well, all that sounds cool. I guess the scary part would be like if they can build something that kind of is very human-like. And then it takes over. Yeah, and they trick us. Like, we don't know who's a robot.

Yeah, but here's the thing. As long as you keep it plugged in, close to the plug-it, it can't go farther than the cord. Keep the cord short. That's true. Okay, that's true. You got us there, man. Yeah, don't put it. Don't make a battery powered.

Make it only plug in a bowl. And then so if they come chasing after you, bloop comes out of the wall. Or if they try to date you. I'll be cool with that. I'll just keep the plugged in now. You may not know. Super Bowl tickets are so expensive. Like I just, I don't even know how people are go to this.

Do you think a lot of them get gifted it or like companies buy it? Most is a fun thing to go to. Is businesses, you know, taking clients. Yes, because they're like 10,000 bucks a ticket. Yes. The cheapest ticket available is. It'll go down. But it's too high profile.

all teams too. Yeah, and then what are your thoughts on going to a Super Bowl as someone that has gone before? It's way overrated, but you won't even, if you can go go, so you can also go, oh yeah, it's way overrated. Otherwise, you're just like, no, it'd be cool to go, because I was like that. I've been to a couple. I feel like, you can't see any of the big stuff because it's real life. On TV, it's up close. I wonder if there's like a lot of Taylor Swift fans that are going to drop a lot of $10,000. Well, if they're obsessed. I don't think they would do that, no. I think they'd see her more on TV. TikTok is doing a live fest this Friday

at 5 p.m. Eastern. Megan Traynor is hosting it and it's a live creator celebration. She's going to be performing. Are they doing jerseys? That's what I'm going to ask. If so I'm in, I'll buy some of those jerseys. Helmets? Yeah. There's going to be global creators from all over awards are going to be handed out.

She's signing cleats? I saw all those yesterday. Have you? Yeah. Listen, it's my favorite hobby. I don't even want to keep the stuff. I will keep it for a bit. but I have no interest in doing anything with these signed jerseys like in my house. The only thing I have in my house that I keeps Arkansas stuff.

And I have stuff from the 50s all the way to today. But like these random teams, these great players, I have the jersey. I'm not going to spend money to frame them. I just want to win them online for 30 bucks. And then sometimes I pay 30 bucks and don't win. So that's just money, you know, peeped down the hole. But it's so much fun. And then I'm just going to give them away.

I watch you do one. I don't know. From where? In my window? You showed me. Oh. Like, who were you? No, but I mean, I don't know.

I didn't understand the thrill. I was like, okay. You ever been on a roller coaster while also about to receive really good news and possibly about to win the lottery one ball away? That's what it feels like. Wow. Even if you lose.

I've never done that, but wow. Maybe I need to just invest my own money and then I'll get the thrill. Wise man did not say that. All right. Okay, I'm Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories.

It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Amy, I give you a nickel if you can name the quarterback of the Houston Texans. Okay. John Sanders. John Sanders is, you were close. C.J. Stroud. He's teamed up with USAA in the Air and Space Forces Association to surprise retired U.S. Marine veteran Craig Mazeska, and they're going to the Super Bowl.

Oh, that's cool. The veteran who received a Purple Heart and other military honors for a service in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, will attend the game with his son and have the opportunity to meet and hang out with C.J. Stroud. From 88 to 94, he served in the Marines where he was a combat engineer. He became a teacher and a counselor. And C.J. Stroud was and has been involved

with this organization for a while. And so they found him. That's cool. He gets to go with his son too. That's pretty cool. You know, I didn't know that players that are still playing go to the Super Bowl. They didn't make it. Did you know, though, if you're playing,

if you're either a 49er or a chief? obviously you can't anyway gamble on the games but you can't even play a slot machine. You're not allowed to gamble at all. Why wouldn't you be able to play a slot machine? Rules. I don't know, whatever those rules are, you can't gamble at all if you're one of the two teams that are playing in the Super Bowl.

Dude, that is tough just to be in Vegas and not that's not hard. And they're all staying like half an hour away from the strip and places that aren't near the strip. Oh, they're not like in the casino? That doesn't mean that they couldn't get there, but the rule is no gambling at all. I would imagine they have other things to focus on. Yeah, but like you're 20 bucks into that machine.

Amy, you'd think that, but some guys get busted with... Yeah, ladies. Ladies. In the middle of the night. Yeah. Ladies. Oh. Well, I guess not everybody's a starter, you know.

You mean the backups? Christ, so... Well, I guess some guys... A lot of times go it's a starter. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Uh, C.J. Stroud shout out.

It's awesome. It's a great story. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.
