The Bobby Bones Show - WEDS PT 2: Bobby’s Drone Delivery Conspiracy Theory + Does “Hook It Up” Mean Free? + Did Listener’s Mom Get Ripped Off On $1 Million Scratch Off Win? + Bobby Addresses The NFL Being Scripted Talk

Episode Date: January 14, 2026

Raymundo wants to know what a listener meant by saying they would “hook it up” at their BBQ restaurant. Does that mean it’s free or just a discount? We also try to get to the bottom of why people don’t like Lunchbox on the golf course. A famous actor got arrested after an altercation with a rideshare driver.  A genius invention we can believe no one thought about until now. Bobby has a conspiracy theory on drone delivery. A listener tells us about how her mom won $1 million dollars on a scratch off. We tried to figure out if she got ripped off after she revealed how much she ended up going home with, which seemed like a drastically low number to us.  A listener calls in and is adamant that she saw online that the NFL is scripted. Listener Tye calls in to remind us we are 1 month away from Valentine’s Day and the guys share if they’ve thought about their plans yet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And he said,

come by sometime, he'd hook it up. Yeah, so that was his exact line. He goes, hey, anytime, man. I'll hook it up for sure. Where'd you meet him? Golf course. Oh, so we were just randomly paired with him? Yeah. And then you played a whole round. Yeah, so we got to know each other. Really nice guy, and he said he was a cook. And so that just got me to thinking.

So say I go buy this barbecue place and he's going to hook it up. What's he going to give me a 10% discount? Oh, that's a good question. No, I mean, it's free. Free lunch. like go by. Do you have his number? I do. Yeah, I would text him first and be like, hey, I know you extended the offer to hook it up. I'd love to come by and then see what he says. And he may go, come by, I'll get your free lunch, something like that. I think that's what

hook it up means. Like hook you a hook it up. Hook it up. Yeah, not like a discount, dude. You're good. So if you were to ever hook up tickets and you go, hey, I can hook it up. Yes. That's for sure free all the way around. Yes. Okay. If I can hook it up, that means I'm going to hook you up with something, not I'm going to get you a discount. One time. Unless I say hook you up with a discount specifically. Yeah, go ahead. One time a buddy of mine, he texted me and my other friend, three of us, and he said I got Spurs tickets, let's go. Okay, but he didn't say he's

going to hook it up. He just said I got Spurs tickets. Oh, that means he's taking the Spurs game for free. But that's an invite. I would feel like that's an invite. So what happened? When we got there, he's like, all right, they're like, whoa, whoa, we thought you had. I thought this was on you. I would have thought that too. For sure. The wording is, I got spurs tickets. It's not like, hey, I got spurs tickets.

There's 60 bucks each. Would you guys want to go? Right. I think he needs to declare he expects you to pay for them. But he didn't use the words hook it up, which I think when you say hook it up, that means free. Man, I got and do you want to go? That means I have something. I'm inviting you to go with me.

I could see where you were confused about that. We were both confused. Me and my other buddy. Ray, I would text them and say, like, hey, it's right from the golf course. you know said I should come by sometime I would love to come by and the awkward thing is he's not front facing

so he's kind of back in the kitchen so if I was to ask for him and he comes out and gets me a sweet tea thanks man he'll know that's why you text him and you get it an exact time and then he'll just look for you and then do you text I'm here

yeah that's exactly what you're doing the whole thing's kind of awkward but I would also be prepared to pay just be prepared is he offering his first ticket And it's a busy place. So, I mean, it's not like you could really time it out perfectly. If you want that hook up, you can get it, and I feel like he will hook it up.

But yeah, you're right. There's probably a couple obstacles. Honestly, Ray, it sounds like a lot for a $10 lunch, dude. That's why when he told me, I was like, hook it up. Huh, the whole pig? A whole table for all my boys? Catering? I think he was extending something nice.

I know. come by, I hook it up. Yeah. I still think about the time lunchbox got paired up with Jamie Johnson playing golf and Jamie Johnson bailed on him. I think about that all the time.

Anytime I see a TikTok clip of Jamie Johnson, all I think about is how Jamie Johnson did not want to play golf with lunchbox. Yep. We did get paired up and the guy said, oh, you're going to be playing with that guy out there. You probably know him. And I'm like, I don't know, Jamie Johnson,

since you're in the industry. And I'm like, oh, okay. And so go out. Do you know what he's saying? I looked it up. In color? Yeah. Yeah.

And it looked like this man. do so I thought this and burn do Duh do I could have days in color Yeah go ahead And Jamie was his buddy

So it was us three And we tee off It was a par five The first hole We hit three shots And then we're about to Hit our fourth And he goes

Hey man you're going to go ahead We're going to go back And start over And I'm like If I ever have Jamie Johnson on And I've thought about Just having him on So I can hear that story

Because I bet he doesn't remember Probably not but the fact that he was like, I don't want to play golf with you. You just go, that's funny. Do people ever do that where they decide to start over? Never know.

I mean, did they have bad shots? They just say, hey, we're going to head back and tee off again. You go ahead and go on. Not, hey, do you want to go back and tee off again? Right, we're all going to start over. You go by yourself. Yeah, I've not heard of that happening before. Did you talk to him before that happened, lunchbox later?

We're in the business together. You may know me. I just said hello, blah, blah, blah. And then we teed off on the first toll. It was literally. nine or ten minute golf round with Jamie Johnson. I'm telling you, there's something on the golf course with lunchbox. Like, people don't like them on the golf course.

Like, I don't know what it is. I remember we played one time and this old man was like so, every shot I hit. Good shot, Eddie. God, that's a great shot. Ooh, good put, Eddie. And then Lunchbox would hit a perfect one, laying on the green right by the stick. Nothing.

You wouldn't say a thing to Lunchbox. That's weird. Do you find that people are, turned off by you while playing golf? Sometimes, yeah. Is it because you're so aggressively angry? Like you slam your club and curse and... Maybe.

But I think that's the sound of a golf course. That's what happens on a golf course. It's not. Not really. Oh, man. I did play... There was one time and I was... I played with a father and a son.

And the son was getting really mad. And the dad was like, man, I don't even have a... anymore because we played the other day and I got mad and I threw it up in the tree and it got stuck and I'm like is that how I look and sound on the golf course but every all yeah every hole and yeah it was very awkward so I can see how it can be awkward if you know when you get angry and get upset but I do feel that when I'm out there that people don't really they're not really receptive to me if you know what I mean yeah what's not about I don't know I'll tell him good shot they're

like thanks I hit a good shot and it's like nothing hey What do you think it is? I think he kind of just, it's kind of rough around the edges, you know? And people are just like, I really don't want to interact with it. So do you think Jamie Johnson got that feeling after like three shots? I don't know what Jamie Johnson was thinking. I don't know. All right, let's go around the room.

Amy, you're up. So did you all see Keith for Sutherland was arrested? No. He, like, fought with his ride chair guy. Yeah. So he got into, yeah, a ride hail. That's what the artist kept calling it. I don't know if his Uber lift, whatever.

And all it's saying is that he physically assaulted the driver. And the driver didn't need medical attention, but the driver called 911, and then he was arrested and taken to jail. They've reached out for comment. I just really want to know what happened because his bail was set at $50,000. Oh, that's a lot. And he was in jail for a few hours. Imagine if you're in jail.

and 24 walks in or designated survivor. Do you want to beat him up or do you want his autograph? Or how does, like... No, I think you see if you're someone who is bordering on being a litigious person, you see a rich person who just hit you and now you're going to make some money.

I think that's what you see. No, I'm talking about in jail. Oh, I thought you meant by the right, the right? No, no. You're in jail, right? And you see Keeper Settling walking. I know jail's a rough place to like, does he get roughed up in there?

Or does he like, hey, it's getting a holding cell? It's jail, though. It's not prison. Okay. Yeah. Big difference. I watched, I think, 1992 locked up on TikTok yesterday. No, not locked up, scared straight. And I watched like five, five minute clips in a row. And they take these kids in and this guy is going, there's like a 12 year old. And he's like, F you, you know, F or if you ever see me again. And he's going out of him hard. Right. That's the whole purpose of that show, Scared Straight. They take people in there and show them what prison's like. And this other guy makes the kid hold his pocket. and walk around. Dang. They went hard on that show.

Scared them straight. These little kids are just little pumps. So they're trying to teach them a lesson. They're trying to scare them into not, well, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're trying to scare them into not making bad decisions because they will end up in jail. Okay. And then locked up, that is more of like, people in prison. Okay.

Yeah. So scared straight people that aren't in prison, but they're giving them a taste of what it'll be like if they continue to make bad decisions. And I think this was in 1992. It was wild to watch that that was on television. Like they had a kid carrying a pocket. You know what, pocket it. You carry somebody's pocket. That means you're doing stuff to them sexually.

They're your B. And they were, obviously they weren't making the kid do the stuff, but they were just showing them what it was like. Yeah, I think on prison break. I couldn't stop watching. I watched 25 minutes of it. I went one TikTok clip to the next. On prison break the.

The guy's like, I'm crazy Eddie, whatever his name was. Crazy Calvin. He was up in his face. Sorry. Well, I don't know. thinking of the pocketholder that he had a nickname a tea bag or something. I think that stood for something else. But anyway, we don't really know what happened.

You know what a teabag is, though, right? It's like if you were laying on the ground and I just hung my nuts on your face, that'd be a tea bag. Like when you do a tea bag in a cup. Okay, got it. Yep, you just dip it down. Yeah, what do you call that when you dip it down? Steeping.

Steeping. Steeping, yeah, yeah. That's what a tea bag, if you're teabagging. someone. You never knew that? Like, they did that in college. Well, I mean, now that you're telling me, it sounds familiar. You brought it up, Amy. I did. So Kiefer, he hasn't been in trouble. He hasn't been in trouble with the

law in more than a decade. His last arrest was in 2007 when he spent 48 days in jail following a DUI conviction. So. So they don't have details on what happened in there? Not yet. I was hoping, I don't, if you all

maybe saw something else, but I looked. I just saw I beat up a ride share. Remember when Michael O'er beat up a ride share? Michael. He did? He did? Yeah, let me look that up. I thought he's a gentle giant. Let me say it allegedly for now. I just saw him yesterday. You did? Where?

Basketball. Kid. I see him all the time basketball. Eddie plays one-on-one against him every Wednesday. Yeah, me and Michael Orr. What is it? Every Tuesday. Here we go. From 2017.

Load her up for me, buddy. We have slow internet today or what? Here we go. Thanks, Mike. Carolina Panthers, offensive tackle. Michael Orr has been cited for allegedly assaulting an Uber driver. driver in Nashville, Tennessee. Yeah. I mean, is it a big dude?

Yeah. The incident was reported April 14th, and Or has been ordered to appear in court for a misdemeanor assault charge. He's best known for the blind side. Man, if there's somebody that don't want to get assaulted by, it's Michael Orr. No, man, he's huge.

I wouldn't ever pick a fight with him. We are aware of an incident occurred involving Michael. Team spokesman, Stephen Drummond, said, we have no further comment at this time. Yeah, I hope that everything's, gotten straight since then. It's been a while ago, but I just think about that

when people beat up ride chairs. I'm like, imagine you get beat up by Michael Orr. That's a great story, and it's like somebody you don't get beat up by he's massive.

This happened in Nashville, but he's playing for the Panthers at the time. I think he was still living here from when he played with the Titans. 6-4-3-15. Oh! That's a big human.

Yeah. Yeah. You know what I think about with big guys? Like, they die earlier. Not even like, just tall, even like, I saw a clip of like Kevin Garnett doing an interview and he was talking about how

people that are really tall just die earlier. Like big people, their body's doing more. Yeah. And they die earlier. Big dogs. Yeah, big dogs die earlier. A buddy of mine, his dad is, he's really big and he said he's just had health problems for so long because of his size.

It's like you don't see any seven foot 70 year olds. Yeah, pretty crazy. Studies consistently show that taller people die younger with shorter individuals living two to seven years longer primarily due to increased risks of certain cancers and cardiovascular issues. Yeah, I was going to think that

because they're so long that like does the blood just take forever? The heart has to pump you. And the heart's got to pump. But then you can argue well the heart's bigger. But just generally, I think that's why Asian people

live longer. It's more compact. Like people that are generally smaller in these countries live longer, have longer lifespans. It's interesting. Ray? Yeah!

Congrats, buddy. I'll see you guys at 100, baby. That's why Chihuahuas lives so long. Chihuahuas are the best. All right, Amy, thank you for that. Lunchbox. Yeah, there was a big fight at a Georgia prison over the weekend. Like 13 people injured and three inmates dead.

And what's crazy is one of the ones that died, he had just been transferred there. He was getting out on Wednesday. No. What was the fight about? Oh, they said gang related. Wasn't it during visitations? Yeah, so a lot of the visitors had to be escorted out, but it was out in the yard and they just started fighting.

So the guy had been in for 20 years and was getting out today. So was he a part of the fight though, or was he caught up in the fight? They don't say. They just said that they released the name of the three guys that died, and his family was saying he was supposed to get out Wednesday. Or was he the reason for the fight? There's a difference. Like if he's part of the fight, there's a difference that if he just got caught up in the fight

and he was getting out Wednesday. Right. Right, or if it's like, hey, we were supposed to kill him and he's getting out Wednesday. But he had just gotten transferred so like you can't, you don't have that much time to start making an enemy. Well, enemies are everywhere. As soon as you're there, you're just part of a different game. Yeah, you arrive and they've got you on a list. Well, I don't know about the list.

How do you know that, any? I don't know the name is going down. How do you know all that? Just experience and life. Good answer. Watching things. Yeah, but they said the fight lasted about 90 minutes. You probably let him go.

They couldn't stop the fight for 90 minutes. 90 minutes. He said non-lethal things to stop the brawling. Like pepper spray? And like beanbags. Oh, yeah. And people just kept fighting. They're like, that doesn't hurt me.

I guess so. Eddie, you're up. All right, so Hines. Hines is coming up with a cool invention that they're releasing. It's called the fry box. All right? For the first time ever, some restaurants and some stadiums and venues are going to have a fry box where you order your fries with a little pocket on the side. that comes with ketchup in it.

Yeah, I like it. I also like what Waterburger does. I like that kind of ketchup that is a box. Yes. That way you can sit it in your car. I mean, it's all about being able to have it sit somewhere and not get super messy. Yeah, and you think like a stadium

is a great place for it to all be there in one spot. Yes, yes, yes. So that's excellent. Oh, cute. Isn't that cool? I see the way they're doing it now. I was picturing it in my head. That's pretty cool.

Oh, it looks like. Look at it. It's like a little. It's like a little pocket. Yeah, the little pocket with the ketchup in it. Uh-huh. Okay. See, because the packets are the worst, right?

The packets are like, oh. Okay, let me see if I can describe this. Because to me it sounded like you got a box and there was just a little portion of it in the box that was ketchup. This, think of when you go to McDonald's, when they put it inside that little holder, they scoop it, that holder. The sleeve. Yeah. On the back of that sleeve, there is a pocket that has ketchup in it. It opens up.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the people of the stadium, they're like, okay, fill the fries in, and they're like, boop, boom, pump the ketchup in, and then you don't have to open or mess with anything. Like a packet's built into the, yeah, that's good. Surprise that. It wasn't invented already. That's what I'm thinking.

Wow. And Heinz is the best. My favorite, though, my favorite are the ones where you go to the restaurant and you pump the ketchup in a little cup. Then you can bring like four little cups to your table. Yeah. That's my favorite. I just don't like that because I don't like touching things that other people have touched. Like hundreds of people have to hands all over that crap.

Well, you can get a napkin and then use the pump. Yeah. That's what I do at the gas station. Or you can use your foot. There are many things you can do. Not for ketchup, but for that. Use your forehead. You don't wear your sleeve, yeah.

Okay, Morgan. So a dog has won the first ever film award. A dog has won the first ever film award. What award? Yeah, so Indy, the real life dog of director Ben Leonberg, plays the protagonist in the movie Good Boy, which is a horror movie told from the perspective of the dog. and so he got the best performance in a horror or thriller film at the Astra Film Awards.

It's the first time that's ever happened with an animal. What's an award? What's an Astra Award, Mike? It's one of the side ones. Yeah, that a major one? Wait, wait. Is that a union? A dog got best actor?

Yeah, he beat out Ethan Hawk, Allison Bree, Sovey Thatcher, Sally Hawkins. But maybe the dog was really good in it. He was. Maybe it was a great performance. You got an award for that. A dog doesn't even know it's acting. Well, also the movie. Like, she did the award for acting if you don't know what's acting?

But they would spend, like, hours making sure the dog was comfortable, and, like, it would take that long to do one scene. Yeah, yeah, the dog doesn't always acting. Maybe it's, like, the dog's trainer that gets the... Well, and there wasn't really a trainer on board. They were saying, like, they just had the camera in the right place at the right time, and they were coaxing him with a combination of everyday commands, weird sounds, physical gestures, and food.

This dog's on the Truman show. He's not acting. They're recording him and living his life. They're putting him in situations and then recording him. See, I bet Lassie would be upset about this. I had multiple Lassies. Oh, they did? Yeah.

Okay. Well, forget that. What about Marley and me? Or the dog that played Marley. Like, there are some dogs that... Turner and Hooch. Dogs don't know they're acting. That's what I'm saying.

Like, really a dumb thing. They're just trying to get attention. And it works. You think Ethan Hawks mad about that? Oh, yes. If they recorded Ethan Hawk not acting, they were just putting him in situations and recording him, uh-huh. That's Truman's show.

Someone not knowing they're being recorded. So you think this is dumb? I don't care. Well, they said by the end of it, he started to associate the camera like, okay, it's time where they're going to start filming me. And they pull the camera out, he was like, okay, I kind of know what we're doing now. So maybe he didn't know he was acting, but he kind of had association of the cameras out, time to perform a little bit.

It's a bit of ringing the bell. Pavlov? If every time you see a camera, there's an expectation, and if you meet the expectation, you get something, you then understand the expectation when you see the camera. So is that acting? No, it's not. A dog doesn't understand the concept of acting. You think the dog watches a movie and he's like, that's me?

My dogs, they go crazy. If there is an animal of any kind on the screen, not even barking. It's just up there. Eller goes crazy. It's weird that you can see that flat thing and know that that's a window into other thing. Because it's not three-dimensional. And she just goes crazy. She thinks it's an animal for her to play with.

And then Stanley just does what Eller does. Just copies? He whines now at the delivery guys. And he doesn't whine. But Eller will want to be like, oh, and so he'll now see someone to go, er, and he howls like the sirens do, Stanley does. Like a cop will come by or an ambulance driving by, ooh, and he'll start going, oh, wow. That's cute. It's crazy.

What are you saying? Oh, have you seen that TikTok where there's a dog sitting next to a cake that's like a dog and the woman cuts through the cake? The top freaks out. The dogs are, ah! A lot of those are AI, though. Is it? Ha. Oh, come on, man.

I'm not the only one that falls for it. I don't think. Most of the ones that I've seen are AI. But maybe the one you saw wasn't. But I've seen a lot of those. Most of them I've seen are AI. And the dog looks kind of like the dog. Yeah.

And they cut through it. They're like, what are you doing? I'm like so hard. Most of them are AI. Yours may have been real. Could have been the first one that inspired all the AI. Speaking of AI. So remember I was talking about in St. Louis, maybe yesterday, all those monkeys?

Yes. Yeah. In the city? Mm-hmm. No, I was asking Amy, because she looked. to me like, I don't remember this. No, no, I do, because then it led to us talking about the other monkeys that got had the diseases and they got shot. So, would you show me what a vervet monkey looks like? Because, again, they're dead set on letting us know these are vervet monkeys. And I don't know if they even look like monkeys. Oh, cute. So they were on the loose and north. I can't see. I have no vision. You have no brain. I have no vision. We need people to patch us together. Oh. So they're all over St. Louis. And so they were making these efforts. Oh, those are real monkeys. So cute.

They are cute. And they're not tiny. Huh. That's a real monkey. Wow. So, they could have just said monkey. But they wanted to say vervet, so I thought maybe it was like a micro monkey or something. But their vervet might be the coloring.

Oh, I'm sure. I just didn't. But they were acting like we either knew what that meant or it meant something that would change our perspective on what the monkeys were doing. No, those were just like monkeys, right? It's a monkey. So anyway, they started to try to find them, and people were posting videos, like with them and holding the monkeys, but it was people making AI videos, all through St. Louis. So reports started coming out that people had captured them, and they were posting pictures and videos of themselves with the monkeys. The Department of Health spokesperson Willie Springer says his office, along with police, they're having a challenging time because the people are posting pictures and are not even real.

They're doing AI. Oh, boy. And they're like, look at the monkey eye guy that's hanging off of them and it's AI. Right now they say there's about four more out. but they're not exactly sure how many are gone. How do you not have a total inventory of how many a monkey you had and how many you're missing? Yeah, you should know exactly. That's from the Associated Press.

But hilarious people are making AI monkey pictures and videos. Any chance some of these monkeys never get found and then we now have monkeys in America, like wild monkeys? Oh, I thought you made they be dead. No, no, no, like pythons. You know how they're pythons in Florida because who knows? It's got a mate with another monkey. So no. unless they find another monkey.

I don't think there's enough out there to create a whole new monkey habitat. Because I did see another TikTok in Florida where a lady was kayaking and a bunch of monkeys were jumping in the water. But I know that was fake because there are no monkeys in Florida. I have a feeling you didn't think it was fake until we just told you all that was fake. Now I think everything's fake. South Carolina reports 124 new measles cases since Friday. Since Friday. Since Friday.

Measles continue to run rampant in South Carolina. The state yesterday reported 124 new measles cases since Friday, bringing the outbreak total to 434. The South Carolina outbreak began in early October. Georgia, Oregon, Virginia also reported their first measles cases of 2026. Last year, the U.S. saw 2,000 measles cases, the highest number since 1992, all with unvaccinated people. The CDC recommends two doses of the MMR vaccine, which is 97% effective against measles. That's from ABC News. What's crazy is, the vaccine is literally.

a top five invention ever in the history of the world. And it's become so pro, just black and white, pro or anti-vaccine. And it has created this. My mind is blown. My mind is blown by this. And my mind is still blown that we're protecting people that rape kids, the FACTS. My mind is blown.

Like they, the court said that those files had to come out, what, December 19th of last year? I believe that's the date they did. And they put out 1% of them and they blacked out everything. My mind is blown that we are protecting child rapists. I just can't believe. I can't believe it. There should be no political affiliation, association with anything.

If people rape kids, we should know and they should go to jail. That's it. Yes. I mean, this is a little bit on similar vein, but Sharon says so on Instagram. She posted a thing of like, some of you would have, would be people that would say where Anne Frank was hiding and it shows. Yeah. It's just like the worst thing you could possibly do Is like in how

Is I guess kill a kid I don't know same Kill a kid rape you get same That's the worst thing you can do It's the worst thing you can do And the fact that we're protecting them Our government is protecting them It's the craziest thing in my life

That I've ever seen But it's become so normalized Because it's been such a slow role If you were just put in a vacuum Every single person in America would say the same thing I was thinking about this last night It is literally the craziest thing

That we're protecting pedophiles So anyway, there's that. Walmart is expanding drone service delivery. I have a theory about this too. Not about Walmart, but just in general. I love it. Make life easier for me. I'm all in, right?

And so I'll talk about this first. Working with the drone company wing, Walmart is rolling the service out to 150 more stores. Los Angeles, Miami, St. Louis, Cincinnati. They already do it in northwest Arkansas because that's the hub. And I'm very familiar with it because we're there a lot. And so they're going to start doing more.

The drones can carry up to five pounds and travel up to 65 miles per hour and the story's from Engadgett. I think the CIA is involved. In that? Just in general. Like, they want this all to happen because the more drones that are flying over,

the more normal it becomes, the more drones are flying over and the more normal it becomes. I can fly drones over all the time. We just think it's a Walmart drone service. Something can fly over our house pretty low with a bag on it. It doesn't have to actually be anything in it,

but we're like, that's Walmart delivering. So what? Just another way for them to spy? Mm-hmm. Theory. Theory. But if I were the CIA, that's what I would do. I would help.

I'd help these companies do this because it does nothing but help me. And the CIA is really not supposed to do much on American soil. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Could it be more like the FBI? Yeah, it could be total surveillance. But yes. All right, boom. Over $400, over $40,000 for the Pokemon cards were stolen from a game store last week.

I mean, it's, why that seems weird is because the word Pokemon. but if someone said over $40,000 in old baseball cards or football cards, you'd be like, dang. But because it was like a cartoon, people go, oh, that's hilarious, it's Pokemon. But they're just as valuable. I've never gotten into the Pokemon cards because I don't know anything about Pokemon. And also I call it Pokemon until I hear people talk about it that actually know it and it's Pokemon, right? Yeah, Pokemon. Oh, really?

How do they say it in, is it from Japan? Yeah. Because it's short for Pocket Monsters. It is? Yeah. Pocket Pokemon. Who knew? That's breaking new.

It's short for pocket monsters, but that's not Japanese. I think they were thinking long term of making it worldwide. Huh. Mine's blown. Pocket monsters. That's Pokemon. Amazing. So if it's short for pocket monsters, wouldn't it be pocket?

Pokemon. Pokemon. But Po. Pokemon. No, I'm confused. Nobody says poke it. I think it's... What?

I think it's... I think they just went without how it was spelled. Like they shortened it. No, no. I get it. I just was thinking. Do people pronounce pocket differently in different places? Pokemon. I think the words were combined and then you just read it like that.

But I don't know. I didn't know it's Pocket Monster. Me neither. Wyoming is the best state to retire. Oh, yeah. Yeah, let's go. It seems too cold to me. Yeah, it seems freezing in the winter. I don't care. It also seems beautiful and peaceful.

I hear you. I don't like the cold. Why it? Unless you're on Yellowstone. I get why people go to Florida. Warm, no state tax. Oh, and the ocean, the beach. Yeah, that's the warm part of it, right? I mean, sorry, my head I associate warm with beach, boats. Yeah.

Wyoming seems like it'd be fun to go to for a minute if you don't like cold, but I don't want to stay there in winter. But the population of Americans age 65 and older reached about 61 million and more and more people are moving to Wyoming. Secondly, it's New Hampshire, cold. Vermont, cold. Montana, cold. South Dakota, cold. Oh, all cold. New Jersey was the worst date to retire because of high cost of living.

And then Massachusetts, New York, Alabama, and Mississippi also right near the bottom from Fox News. You know what I find interesting, though, is you live your whole life in one city and then you retire, you made like all your friends and then you just move and have nobody? That seems weird. I think because there's retirement infrastructure built in certain places, meaning there's a lot of retired people there. So it's other like-minded old people that are tennis courts, botchee ball.

There's like entire areas in these places that are built for retired people. Okay. And a community that gets built of just retired people that are there. But yeah, and then your family flies down to sea, I guess. But yeah, that's why, for the most part. And also when it gets cold, like your joints hurt and stuff. I'm done with the cold here It sucks

I've hit my I don't think we've got it I've hit my threshold I've hit my threshold It's gonna get colder But it's been cold a couple times And I hate having to take the dog out at night When it's cold

I hate having to take the dog out in the morning And it's cold I hate cold I'm done I would leave I would move for three months of the year If I could Beach I don't care about the beach

But where I would go would have Because you can go to beach You can go to North Carolina For the beach Sure It's cold there Yeah yeah But like you can't Arkansas, like it's cold there too.

I wouldn't go to Arkansas for those three months. I would go to the Keys. Florida or Texas. Yes. I don't want to go to New Mexico, Arizona because the time difference going back an hour. Should we move the show? Can't. Let's move the show to Florida.

There's no state income tax here, though, either. Yeah. Or state, yeah, state tax. No. Which is nice. There's not. A lot of the colleges when they were doing, and the portal is still open, but they do, it's not really NIL, but they do, it's not really NIL, but they, are paying players now from revenue share from the schools they started to do and make images of

people holding up money and going no state income tax in Texas so it'd be like here's why you should think and then they would list it out because again these players are going to where they can get the most money for the most part and they'll list it out if you come to texas and we give you half million dollars after taxes you're going to get 370,000 if you go to a state like i'll just use arkansas because they're a state tax you only get $340,000 even though you're getting the same amount So that's a selling point. That's why some players will choose to play in Florida, Texas, even Tennessee, because it's less money from their contract they're having to give up.

And even though it would be great to go play in California because the weather's great. And if you're, you know, you want to be around, you know, media institutions, if that's your goal too, the taxes are significantly higher out there. So all that is considered. New York, high. but high because it's the most desirable places to live generally because that's where everything is, New York and L.A. Chicago. Did you see that UCLA guy that died and left all that money to football?

To sports, yeah. It reminded me of you. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, he dies. He's like, what am I going to do in my money? Hey, will you just give it to sports so they can get better? I'm not going to be around, but just give it to that.

UCLA needs it too. But, yeah. How much was it? It was millions. It was like 30 million or something. It was the most that I think the school's ever gotten. 30 million. We can look up the real number. It wasn't like a T-Boon Pickens at Oklahoma State type money.

How much was that? Well, there are people that leave hundreds of millions. Oh, my gosh. But this was a lot. And it was, to me, why it stuck out was it was sports. It was just sports. I did see the Magnolia baseball field at Baylor. You know who built it?

Magnolia. Context clues. I know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Chipp and Joanna. They built it? So it's got like a bunch of antique stuff around there. I don't know if the bases or lamps. The Target collection. But it is like the Baylor Field at Magnolia, something like that. That's cool. Which I thought was pretty cool. Yeah. The guy left 17.3 million to football and men's basketball. That's it. Oh, just those two sports? That's still so much. For something you're not even going to be here to enjoy. Yeah, but if you love it.

But then the kids are like, all right, dad died. I wonder if there were kids. I don't know. And who knows? Maybe they got 20 million for the kids. And this is how we divvied it up. But if you, oh, that would be, I would be so. But I think he left all of it.

I think that was all of his money. No, because it says Lane's pledge includes $11.4 million to UCLA Health. And then also the Anderson School of Management will receive. 5.7 million. Rugby, 3.8 million. All from him. Oh, okay. He diversified then. The story when I read it, because I read the headline of the first paragraph, it just seemed like he was giving it all to football and basketball. And the center of art performance will receive 1.9 million.

Dang. Played rugby at UCLA and was the first coach of its women's rugby team. He was? Yep. Well. Oh, he's really connected. Yeah. Okay. Is that better?

It's a little better. It's all the same. But, yeah. No, I was just thinking like if that was your family and that's what they decided to do like, okay, cool. And you get nothing? That would suck. Yeah. Unless like Warren Buffett's, you know, he says, I'm not leaving any money to my kids, but he sets them up, right?

Not with money, but with education, with contacts. Opportunities, yes. Yeah. Gives them the opportunity to make their own money. So if they leave all the money but then he sets his own kids up and they've started to make their own money, I get that. Yeah, they get to benefits from some good. nepotism. I'm sure it's fine. All you got to do is just say I'm

Warren Buffett's child. Come on in. He retired. Yeah. What's he doing? Now, nothing. Playing golf all day. Retired. Yeah, the guy lived in the same house whole life. That's crazy. In Nebraska, I believe, is where he's from. Same house. Okay, I got

a couple other things here. At the top, the 10 TV shows that are coming to an end this year. Tell me if you watch these. Good omens. Nope. Never heard. It's coming to an end. It's the number one. Outer Banks.

Nope. Saw the first season. Yep. Yeah, I used to. It is wrapping up this year for good. It's a teen adventure. It throws me off. I watched like the first five minutes

in the first episode and thought, I'm too old for this show. Yeah. Because I'm like driving a boat. It was like kids. You know, if they start making out, I feel uncomfortable watching this. The comeback on HBO is Lisa Kudrow's comedy.

I know of it. I never watched it. Yellow Jackets is ending. I watched the first two seasons liked them and then it just got too weird. Yeah. And I like weird. It just got too weird. Like just give me some cannibals in the freaking woods trying to survive. I like

that dynamic. But then it just got odd. Hacks. That's good. The Gene Smart comedy. She's from designing women. I like that. They're wrapping that up for good. Outlander. Never watched it. Have friends that love it. I think some time travel in that. Yeah. Queer Eye. Man, that show's

crushing. To be on. I think it came back though, right? Yeah, it came back. It was off for a long time. It didn't. It came back. All-American on the CW. Oh, I watched that. Really? Yeah. It's like reminds me of One Tree Hill, Friday Night Lights type of vibe.

It's wrapping up for good. The Boys, which is an excellent show. It's right up my alley, though. How many seasons is that? Maybe it's the fourth or fifth. I think it's the fourth. Yeah, it's awesome. It's if superheroes are real,

because you'd also have people that were like scheming and fraud. Yeah, they're like humans too, right? Yeah, yeah. Ridiclessness on MTV. Whoa, that's ending, huh? That's all they show now. That's crazy. That's from Screen Crush.

I have 10 TV shows returning in 2026 finally, and I did some of this on my Instagram story because I love some of these. Paradise is coming back on February 23rd. That show is awesome. Oh, I watch that show. Yeah, it's really, really good. So if you have Hulu,

it's probably the perfect time now because get you all lined up for whenever season two starts. I mentioned the boys. That final season starts on April 8th. Scrubs, now I'm assuming Scrubs came back. It's gone for a long time. Came back.

Okay, so they came back and they're ending that. Ted Lassow. Coming back? Is going to have season four. What? No. I never watched all a season two. Oh, it was good.

I thought the last one was the last season, though. Yeah, I did two. I thought it was over. Ted Lassow, season four, comes mid to late 2026. Wow. I want to have to get Apple again. High Jack on Apple. That's pretty good.

A little corny at first, but then got good. It has... Eder's Elba? Yeah, Eid Your Selba. Oh, yeah, that was good. The Night Agent, that's the corniest show I've ever seen in my life. But I like it. But it's still pretty good.

It's so corny. They telegraph everything. What does that mean? It's every trope. Well, you know, phone call. You can see the name. It's every old thing they used to do in television shows that we look back and go corny. They do that in these shows.

Oh. Yeah. Uh, Euphoria, Season 3, I'd never watch that. I felt the same about it. Like, is teens making out? I'm like, I don't need to watch. That was a good show. Yeah, I'm sure it's a great show.

Yeah, not funny. I just never jumped in because I felt uncomfortable watching teenagers do it. I second that. House of the Dragon. Season 3 comes back this year. Your friends and neighbors, April 3rd, which is really good. John Hamm. There's another one coming out.

Season 2. Oh, let's go, baby. I love that one. The Agency on Paramount Plus. That show is awesome. Oh, yeah, that was good. It's a CIA-type show. with Richard gear

yeah as the old yeah not as the main character but yes I think I let that one fall off man it's got to go back it's so good Richard gear Michael Fastbender's in that he's the main character is it's it's CIA or FBI

I think CIA because he was you know there's people in Russia and yeah that's good the diplomat season four comes back on Netflix I'm ready for that one man Dipland's a great show. The Bear. I watched season one and liked it, never got back into it.

Yeah, I gave up on that one. WW Unreal. That's good. January 20th. I like that show. Amy has an update from her friend about lunchbox. He's taking Cialis now. Yeah, so she said that it can be prescribed for what he's using. I just wanted to double check because my friend is a physical therapist specifically for the pelvic floor. and I wanted to get her thoughts on what lunchbox was told.

She even recommended some PTs for him to call here so he can actually go get that done. And she was like, yeah, his prescription seems legit. I think it's legit too. It's just the effects of it on him while sitting near us. Yeah. So it can help with urinary flow, which he said his flow was fine. So is it just for the pelvic discomfort? I thought it was for the infection.

Yeah, remember because that was different. The pelvic was the stomach. He had an infection in his... Oh, this is the... Okay, so that's for the... Okay, well, she said, hey, so maybe you're getting a double because it can help with pelvic discomfort. But does it still have the effects of...

Oh, dude, it still does what it does. Yes. And he's been staring at you a lot today. No, he's not. I'm not looking his wood. No, I'm telling you, he's been looking at you a lot. Are you constipated? Oh, no.

Are you turned on? No. Well, that was one of her questions because... No, dude. I don't want anyone to talk about it. It's so weird, dude. Guys, it's science. Yep.

It is. I'm sorry, I have an infection, she said. Seriously, though, you know you can take it at like 2 o'clock every day, and that's daily. Yep. Or before you go to bed, just into the night. It's far, far away from it. At Denver area gas station, I think they accidentally had diesel in their gas. Oh, no.

Drivers across the Denver metro area are bringing cars to repair shops after diesel mixed in gasoline was sold at local stations. No. So it's the guy that was putting gas in the tanks. From the Colorado Sun, state officials say the contaminated fuel came from a supplier in reached locations, including Costco, King Supers and Murphy Express. Vehicles shut down soon after fueling and repairs involved draining and cleaning the fuel systems. The company's alerted distributors, over 200 complaints were made. Oh, that sucks. You know, I would probably do that 100 times if it wasn't a different size.

You know, like when you grab the diesel pump, different color. It's green, right? Usually green. But if you're not thinking and you just grab it and put it in there and put diesel in your car, your car's done. But they make it a different size so it doesn't fit in your gas tank. Oh, I didn't know that. I never grabbed it. It's bigger.

So you must have grabbed it before then. I did not even thinking. I'm like, well, that's not going in. I'm trying to push it in. And then I realized like, oh, that's the diesel pump. You got the Seattle's pump. Stay big. All right.

That's it. Let's go take a break. Thank you, everybody. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clever Taylor the 4th.

You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from Top Story,

streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving.

If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance.

And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast, a slight change of plan. a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us like. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. Here at the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You meet the, like, the president? You think Canada has a president.

You think China has a president. Lozoufruzette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one.

I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong.

Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's go to Tracy in North Carolina. Tracy, you're on the show. Hey, Bobby. Yesterday, you're talking about the lottery in Texas. My mom won a million dollars a year ago. When she got done at the lottery office, she only brought home $427,000. and then she's got to turn around and pay $87,000 again in Texas this tax season.

Whoa. So they didn't take it all out. But, I mean, she made... Yeah, you don't get the million. She got the lump. They probably took out a state or some sort of, but they take... Right. I forgot about the state tax.

Well, it depends on what state you're in. So you... Listen, it's awesome. First of all, I want to say, that's awesome. She won a million dollars. Except she... you didn't win a million. It's like when you make $50,000 a year,

you don't go home with $50,000 a year. You go home with $38,000 a year. Same here, sort of. Because as soon as you win a million, you're up in that upper tax bracket. But still, I don't know, that sounds like that. That does sound like a lot.

I know it sounds like a whole lot. She has more than half a million gone. Yeah, what? 400,000. Did she get? Also, are you sure your mom's telling you the truth? Swindled? No, I'm just like, maybe mom didn't want her.

to know about the money she still had. Or like if people reach out to her and they're like, this is a tax bill you have due, wink, wink. How did she win the million dollars? Like what, is it a scratchoff? Scratch off lottery. Scratch off is crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. I can't believe. People can go and they see a $1 million winner. Aside from what's talking about the money, what does she do with the money? Invested. Saved and invested.

Smart. Yeah, good. I feel like your mom's keeping a lot from you. The generic terms. Yeah, I feel like, you know, Mom didn't say exactly what she got. So she went in and they sent her home with how much again after the million? $427,000. Yeah, that's a lot. I'm going to ask in North Carolina, because, again, every state has different rules.

But I'm going to ask my assistant here. Hello, I have a question about the North Carolina lottery. We are talking to a woman who won a million dollars on a scratch-off ticket. And apparently she came home with $427,000. and then had to pay $80,000 in taxes this year. Can you tell me why it would be that way or if maybe this person is a little misled? Absolutely. So winning a lottery prize like a million dollars is exciting, but the final amount you actually

take home is quite a bit less because of taxes and withholdings. Typically what happens is that when you win a large amount, the lottery automatically withholds a portion up front for federal taxes, usually around 24% or so for federal withholding. After that, depending on where you live, there might also be state taxes. North Carolina, for example, has a state income tax that would apply to lottery winnings. So if she ended up with around $427,000 initially, that means the lottery probably took out a chunk for federal taxes right off the top. Then, when tax season came around, she likely owed additional taxes, maybe because of her total income bracket or because the initial withholding wasn't enough

to cover her full tax liability. It's not that she's necessarily being misled. It's just that lottery winnings are taxed as income. And sometimes the final tax bill is a little higher than what was withheld. It can be a bit of a shock, but it's pretty normal. But does that those numbers check out? Meaning if you win a million, is there any reason that someone should end up with $360,000 overall? Yeah, let's break it down a little more. If you win a million dollars in North Carolina, typically the lottery will withhold that initial federal tax.

let's say roughly 24% of a million, which is about $240,000. Then you've got North Carolina state tax, which might be another few percent, let's call it around 5.25%, or about $52,500. So after those immediate withholdings, you might be left with something in the ballpark of $700,000-ish, but that's not the end of the story, because your total tax liability might be higher when you actually file your taxes. you'll likely owe more federal tax because a big lump sum can push you into a higher tax bracket for that year. And depending on your other income, deductions and how everything shakes out, you could owe another chunk of money when you file your return, like that extra $80,000 she mentioned.

In the end, it's totally plausible that a million dollar win might net out to somewhere in that $360,000 rate. It doesn't make sense. And if we're talking about earlier, like they don't take all the taxes out whenever you win the million dollars, because that 20-something percent is not the upper tax bracket, and you're in the upper tax bracket once you have that. So they have to take out more taxes. You have to pay them later. I don't know, Tracy.

I think your mom was holding something back from you. Well, I went with her to the lottery place, so I know that that's what they told her. Oh, so she was there. I mean, and your assistant's saying that could be in. No, but when she laid it out, that's not what she said. She said you should have like $700,000 by them taking out the first part of taxes.

Like that's what you go home with. And then when you pay the rest of your taxes, because you go up into like the 33% tax bracket of paying taxes, 33, 34%. It doesn't matter. I think it's awesome she won money. That'd be crazy to win a few hundred thousand dollars. But man, 70% of all of it gone.

Just hate that they call it you want a million dollars. Then you're like, no, I didn't. Yeah, you didn't. We're probably wrong. But I would bet. I don't know. I wouldn't be better. I'm going to think about this for a little bit.

It just seems like if you win a million dollars, even if they take out a part of taxes, you're going to go home with more than $427,000 up front. But Tracy, I don't know anything. You were there. But I appreciate you sharing that. That's crazy. Did it feel like it changed your mom's life whenever she won? No, not really.

She just buys more lottery tickets now. There you go. She's going to pay it all back. All right. We appreciate that call. Thank you so much for sharing that. And hopefully we'll talk to you again soon. Thank you. Bye-bye.

We weren't there. We don't know the whole story. But as told, I have a tough time believing it is just that. From what I know about what they do, what they hold and what... I've learned a lot about tax percentages in the past. Five six years. Tina in Florida. Let's go talk to Tina. Tina, you're on the show. Bobby, how are you this morning?

Doing pretty good. What can I do for you? Well, I heard you comment this morning, long conversation about gentlemen in a fancy car and a Lamborghini or what's sexy, what's not sexy, if you look around, you know, if a gentleman's in a car, there's nothing sexier than seeing a man in a beautiful pickup truck, in my opinion. When you say beautiful, does it be new and shiny, or can it just be like a big, like, work truck? No, big and new and shiny. Some of those pickup trucks cost more than any car put together. You know, you were talking about Suburban being a.

family car. If you look at some of those Ford F-350s or the Dodge Rams, a man in one of those makes sure I look that way. What I would assume, based on this call, is that she knows some guys that are really good looking or that she's attracted to that also drive the truck. It's like when there's a name that you find not attractive as unlike romantic, but you're like, I really like the name. It's usually because somebody that you know and like has that name. And if you're like, oh, I don't like that name, if you're naming a kid or something, it's usually because maybe somebody you don't like growing up had that name and yet, or a villain, something you have a negative association with has that name. But I hear you. I think there are a lot of people

to feel like Tina does. They want a dude in a big truck because of what that represents. Tina, I appreciate the call. I hope you have a great day. Thank you. You too. Bye-bye. Let's go to Matt in Richmond, Virginia, who's on the phone. Hey, Matt, you're on the show. Hey, good morning, Bobby. Morning. Morning. What's up, buddy? Hey, good morning, studio.

Morning. And I was wondering what your thought was on an ASCAR going to back to the chase format and getting rid of the playoffs situation with the elimination races. I'm glad you asked that. I got to tell you. I work for the NFL. I do an NFL show. I'm in. We do a show called 25 whistles at a sports show.

Baseball, basketball, football. Eddie's a big UFC guy. Heck, wrestling, all good. I don't know anything about NASCAR. Like, I was not brought up around it. I probably know as much about NASCAR as I do soccer. So, like, I can wade ankle deep in it. Eddie knows more than I do. Oh, I just bet on it. I really, like, when he's saying those words, I don't know what that means. I didn't grow up around NASCAR. So, I don't, Matt, I don't have an educated or knowledgeable answer to that. How do you feel about it?

I think it's a great move. Me too. The whole going from, you know, three races and then eliminating four drivers and then another three races and then you go down to the final race and you have four drivers and whoever finishes best out of that race wins a championship, you could have a driver that has never won a race all season long and win the championship if he runs well enough. But I think it's a great move that it has to be consistency wins the championship.

I feel you. And I don't know much about that, but in golf, when they do the FedEx and they give away all the money, you cannot win a tournament the whole year. But if you score high enough in all the tournaments, you finish second, third, second third, and then you have enough points and you win. You can win the whole thing because you've not won a single tournament,

but you've placed high enough. And some of those guys that won didn't, maybe didn't make a cut. I hear you, I don't know enough about NASCAR to have an educated opinion. But now I do know they've shifted. I appreciate that because this is how I got my news from Matt in Richmond, Virginia. All right, Matt, thanks, buddy. Let's go talk to Ty, who is in Tennessee. Hey, Ty.

Hey, good morning, studio. Morning. I wanted to call with a reminder that we are one month away from Valentine's Day, so Eddie and lunchbox need to get their stuff in order. She almost sounds like a robot calling her. She does. I'm calling to let you know you have one month. It's like our wives paid for this.

It's a service. Guys, Ty says you have one month until Valentine's Day. Okay. Your thoughts, your feelings, Eddie? Mine is thanks for the reminder because I wasn't even thinking about that. So, yes, that's coming soon. Will you think about that? How will her saying that change your day today or your month leading up to it?

Because there is something I've been wanting to do for Valentine's Day, so now I will jump on the planning process this week. Yes, I'm going to book whatever I've been thinking about. I'm not going to talk about it, but I'm going to book it. Okay. Lunchbox? It's not going to happen. It's a Saturday night.

that's going to be super busy everywhere you go. So maybe we'll do something on like the 16th, which is President's Day or... What if you do something at home? What if it's... I don't do gifts. Gift, what am I going to get her? I've given her everything she needs. Like you?

Me, three kids, a roof over our heads. So romantic. Like gifts are nuts. So I already gave her a Christmas present. like so I don't know I don't the Saturdays that's tough I mean it doesn't have to be

but she's also giving you a month right and it's tough if you want to you can make a reservation now at all these places where you're acting like you can't get in if you do it now you actually can get in here's the problem you go out on Valentine's day to a restaurant guess what they have a set menu they charge you extra money

just because it's Valentine's Day you go to that same restaurant two days before or two days after half price okay so if that's your problem just playing something romantic at home like cook her something Just something appreciative. It doesn't even have to be like getting a tuxedo and deliver a piece of jewelry on a knee. Literally, it's just an acknowledgement.

Like, you automatically think dinner. I'm not thinking dinner. Like dinner, we don't even do dinner really. I don't either. Well, Eddie, I kind of want to know what your thing is. I think a gift. A gift is nice. Like a token of appreciation more so than a dinner.

I just go where my mind takes me. When someone says, hey, Valentine's Day's coming up, I think, oh, I'd like to get my wife a nice gift for Valentine's Day. I don't think dinner. You think dinner. Yeah. I think like an event, but it's like at the same time, I, like I'm tired of it being a woman's holiday. But you never do it, holiday. You never do it. So what are you tired of? You never do it. That's why I got burned out. Like I got burned out of always being the one that the responsibility is yours, yours, yours, yours. But it doesn't have to be some massive undertaking.

It kind of does. The way you guys call on, you got one month, get something done. I was like, Guys, you know what I realize? Like my kids are watching me on Valentine's Day. And if I don't get my wife anything or like treat her differently, they're not going to treat their wives. Like that. I just thought of this. You are representing men everywhere to your kids and what they, hopefully, they model you. Yeah.

Good. You can put an end of the cycle. You model for them, yeah. You can put an end of the cycle. Show them that you're not going to do anything. Everybody has a different relationship with Valentine's Day and I don't care about that. but I'm saying if you want to do something, she's giving you enough time

so it's not two days before and you're like, oh my God, I can't do anything because there's nothing left to do. She's saying, here you go. One month. If you want to do something, do it. You can set a dinner reservation

right now pretty easily because nobody has booked anything a month out. You can remember to get a gift. You can do nothing. Sure. But don't be complaining about it when it gets closer

because she's telling you now. But you're right, Eddie. Your kids are watching you. They are. I realized last year. And not just Valentine's Day. Every day. And how you treat your wife.

It's true, man. My therapist told me that a couple years ago. It just now resonated. Well, no, no, I just thought about it because of Valentine's Day. Took a while. Thank you for that, Ty. I appreciate that. We still have her.

She'll leave us. All right, Ty. Here. All right. Thank you. Bye. Bye. A newborn in Texas weighed 13 pounds.

Wow. That's crazy. My wife is super pregnant right now, and we do the thing where you go in and they measure even then. I can't imagine a 13 pound anything coming out. Double me. From when you were born? I was six pounds, eight ounces.

Or eight pounds, six ounces. A little dyslexia here. Oh, here we go. A little Wednesday morning dyslexia. One of the two. Markey Smith gave birth to her son Canyon just days before Christmas at a hospital in Arlington. They had to get it out by C-section.

And I guess they were surprised. They thought maybe it'd be around a nine-pound baby. even that's a large, large baby. But it came out 13 pounds. The average full-term newborn weighs seven pounds. It's basically two. She had twins and one baby. Based on that average, I guess I was probably six.

One of my boys was 10. Ten? Every time I go bowling, I show them the bowling ball. This is how heavy you were. Wow. Local 12 with that story. Bio or when your biological is 10? Yeah, yeah.

Our second one. Do you know how much you're adopted ones weighed? No. I didn't know if you had that. No. That information there. Let's go to Alicia in Texas. Alicia, you're on the show.

Hey, Bobby, morning studio. Morning. Hey, listen, I just want to know what do you think about the NFL being scripted? What are your thoughts on that? The NFL's not scripted. Like wrestling? Is that what she means? You're cutting out.

You're cutting out. Start over. Yes. they've got videos on it they've got some footage they've got some audio of what like telling

morning okay the game the Broncos game the Broncos didn't even play last week whoever was Bobby I heard it on Instagram you know how we are

with social media okay you know how we are with social media I'm getting ready to cross the bridge onto Corpus Christi I don't want to get a ticket so I just wanted to know what your thoughts are okay

Thank you. The NFL's not scripted. To run an operation like that, you would need thousands of people abiding by a sacred rule of we're just not going to talk about it. Somebody would leak after a hundred, not a hundred years. Who's Daryl Baker Jr.? Nobody. Okay. Is that who famous?

It says here, Tennessee Titans, Daryl Baker Jr. Sturs the NFL as scripted pot. Oh. That was. A whistleblower? Sturs the pot. I'm telling you, it's not even about the NFL. An operation that big over six decades, seven decades.

If it were scripted, you would for sure know it was scripted. Yeah, there are a lot of players that could say anything. That's what I'm saying. Coaches, trainers and thousands and thousands of people. Yes, the NFL is not scripted. It's too big of an organization. Oh my gosh, he said he was joking. Like he said, oh my gosh, I followed the script all season, guys.

before every game we're giving a script and people believed him and he was like, guys, obviously it's a joke, you idiots. Some people don't get to the end of videos. I appreciate you calling because she probably saw it immediately and called in and was like, I got to share, but yeah, you got to get to the end of these videos. Yeah, NFL definitely not scripted. That'd be crazy if it was, though. It'd be called sports entertainment then, like wrestling.

Wrestling scripted. Right. People would still watch. They sure would because wrestling is very popular. But wrestling has storylines. Wrestling has soap opera type storylines. We have storylines. Inflategate.

The one thing Amy knows. That was the storyline. It was the flight gate. Yeah, it was the opposite. It's deflated. Whatever. Inflake gate is something else. We don't even know about it.

Exactly. Exactly. I mean, it's a show. Think about it. It leads up to the big show. It's definitely entertainment. It is entertainment. And they do make it to be a great product, but it is not scripted.

But the shadiest sport. Okay, so wrestling, take it out because that's scripted. But the shadiest non-scripted sport is basketball. Yeah, boxing's a good one. Boxing is a good one. You thought that was predetermined too? Well, they're all in a ring. They probably...

Anything in a ring. There have been instances probably of judges being paid or influenced. Sure. Okay. But not the fighters? No, but boxing, they have a bore. They have a commission. It's supposed to be on the up and up,

but I would say that's probably the most crooked sport. Okay, so now a sport with a ball, basketball. Right? Yeah, but there's, sure, like there's been a referee that's been in trouble. But, I mean, if you have subjective umpiring or reffing, it could probably be influenced heavily where baseball has homeplayed. There's definitely been cheating, cheating in baseball. But, okay. You know what, but boxing.

Okay, so, but big picture here is football is real. Yes. It's not. I would say yes. She was very confident in whatever she saw on social media. What's the guy's name? Oh, the guy from the Titans? Darrell.

Darryl Baker Jr. Let's go over and talk to Tony real quick. Who's on? Hey, Tony, you're on the show in Denver, Colorado. Hey, morning studio. Morning. So regarding the coming out of surgery and speaking in different language, a number of years ago, I had heard something about this happening,

and I was actually having surgery plant. I had a knee surgery and abdominal surgery at the same time. So I was going to be under anesthesia for a while. And I told my wife before I went in when we were in the pre-op area, I said, hey, when I come out, I'm only going to speak Spanish. And at the time I was reasonably fluent in Spanish. And she's like, no way, you won't remember, et cetera, because I're like Bobby said.

And so I go through my surgeries and I'm coming out, I'm starting to wake up. And, of course, I had completely forgotten. but the guy in the recovery bay next to me was a Spanish speaker. And I heard him speaking to his family. I'm like, oh, that's right. I'm only supposed to speak Spanish. So when the nurse came in, and it was the same nurse we had before I went in, kind of like the familiar face thing.

And so she comes in and she's like, oh, you know, how are you feeling? And I'm like, oh, can go into water in me estomago and me for a nil. And she's looking to me going, okay. And, you know, not quite sure what to do this. She's like, okay, how's your pain? I'm like, oh, eight nine. You know, and so I'm just going with it. So she makes her notes and she walks out.

And then she comes back a little later, you know, checks in with me again, same story. And so she goes out, shuts the curtain. I hear her say to another nurse. She's like, oh, my God, I don't know what's going on. I have this guy before surgery, and he and his wife were speaking perfect English, like there as white as can be. And now he's only speaking Spanish. I don't know what to do.

As wide as can be. And then she comes back and we go through this about three, yeah. But it's just a number of years to go. You're not as white as As white as could be anymore Yeah the story was This guy who didn't know Spanish Came out speaking Spanish

And my thing was You could play a prank on somebody We'd have to remember But also this guy knew a little Spanish obviously So this was He's like Ocho no And he's as wide as can be

I would appreciate that story Tony Tony Thank you all for listening to Part 2 We really love and respect The part 2ers More than just the part 1ers Who just listen on the radio And you know what? They're never going to hear this so it doesn't matter.
