This week, on a special episode of WebMD's Health Discovered podcast, we're taking a closer look at a common form of lung cancer that accounts for 85% of all cases.

When I first heard the words you have lung cancer, I was in shock.

Eddie
This is a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Bobby Bones
Talking basketball. And they all wear a whistle yet stupid. But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles 20. All right, how about that friggin Duke Yukon game Wild. Crazy. Blow the whistle. So here we are.
Eddie
Yeah, that was crazy.
Bobby Bones
Man, I gotta tell you, I am down with basketball. Once Arkansas lost, I thought the tournament was over.
Eddie
Oh, you're not watching it.
Bobby Bones
I thought they canceled it for everybody.
Kevin
No, it turns out it still goes on.
Bobby Bones
Well, how about that? Okay, so I was only watching scores and UConn was getting their butts kicked. So I didn't even put it over.
Kevin
And.
Bobby Bones
And then halftime happens and Yukon was still getting their butt kicked. And so I checked it over midway through the fourth and they started to make a move. So I just started monitoring a little close. And once it started getting close, I flipped it. I actually saw the play, but I watched. It's like I got the treat without having to eat the cereal. You know, I dug in the box, got the toy.
Eddie
There was no one.
Bobby Bones
Didn't need to sit none. I only got the good stuff.
Kevin
Yeah, most of these games I feel like you can watch second half and if something good happens, you got it.
Bobby Bones
I could not again. Everybody's going to say this a hundred times. Everything that could have went wrong went wrong there. And I've heard it broken down 500 times. There's only 10 seconds in the clock. They could have kept the ball back court. They had a timeout left. He could have not tried to pass the ball, all these things. But you still got to hit that
Eddie
shot, and that's a very low percentage shot.
Bobby Bones
Still got to hit that shot. It's a low percentage shot to just shoot an open three. Yes.
Eddie
But man, he was like low half court logo.
Bobby Bones
He was wheelbarrowing those nuts after that shot. That was awesome. It wasn't even like off the backboard. It wasn't like Kentucky and Santa Clara.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Chunks it up. Prayer. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
It was nothing.
Kevin
You watched it live. Like, did you think. Because when I was watching, as soon as he Shot it. I was like, I think that's going in.
Eddie
Like, you look good from the game.
Bobby Bones
I definitely did not think it was going in just based off of. There's no way that shot's going in. Like everything that had to happen. The inbound, he freaked out. The guys tipped it.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
The first guy didn't shoot it. He had the understanding to pass it back to the guy he shot. I was like, there's no. My God. And I was like, here's the thing. I was very happy because everybody hates Duke. Unless you love Duke. Duke is the Yankees. Duke is the Cowboys. Duke. But they. Luke wins.
Eddie
Easy, easy.
Bobby Bones
But I started to think to myself, why do I hate Duke right now? I shouldn't. Because I like Shire as a coach. Seems like fine, good guy. So I just hate the brand. Then they choke their brains off. The fact they had knipple and flag last year. They lost to Houston in the final four. Right. Or championship game.
Eddie
No, no.
Kevin
And they were a big, like seven in the last couple minutes.
Bobby Bones
Last two minutes.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Two minutes left.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
They were up 19 in this game.
Eddie
19 is unbelievable.
Bobby Bones
It was awesome. Unless it happens to you. Like I had one of these version of this happen to me last year. Sweet 16. Texas Tech comes back and it was the biggest come from behind victory in Sweet 16 history. Texas Tech beat Arkansas. That's. That's tough to take. Yeah, man. If you're on the other side of it, it's just amazing.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I don't even like Yukon. I should hate Yukon because Hurley annoys
DraftKings/Gambling Disclaimer Voice
the crap out of me.
Eddie
The crap out of me too.
Kevin
He's much easier to dislike than Duke is right now.
Eddie
Correct.
Bobby Bones
But I've disliked Duke my whole life. Therefore, I was rooting for UConn to beat Duke. The shot again. What a shot.
Eddie
And this kid, Mullins, freshman, I think he was over three on the day on threes. So, like, it wasn't like he's gonna be the last shot.
Bobby Bones
I don't have the stats in front of me, but I believe the first half they were like 1 for 16 for threes or something like that. And then they came alive.
Eddie
I don't think that he wanted to take that last shot. I think the plan was probably just pass it off. Maybe we'll get some on the inside, we'll tie it up and we'll go to overtime.
Bobby Bones
There wasn't a. There was no time to have a
Eddie
plan because it was just a. It was a steal.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was. Yeah. The deflected ball. They got it to the guy who was kind of like it's at elbow the three point line and there was one second on the clock and he's like, I'm, I'm guarded so I'll just. The other guy wasn't even think he's getting the ball. He's just trying to cross just in case.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
There was no time for him to think. It was like, here's the ball, 1.5 seconds left, safety valve ball up. Boom.
Eddie
But Kevin knew was going in though.
Kevin
I'm just saying, like you, you have an idea. At least it's going to be close. The way that he shot it, the way that it left his hand, I was like, oh wow, this looks like it's going in right away.
Eddie
I mean, I'm kind of messing with you. But sometimes like this whole tournament, like there is a shot style where you look at a shot go up and you kind of have a good idea of like, oh, that was ugly, that's not going in. Or like, oh, that looks like a good shot.
Kevin
Like the St. John's Friday night against Duke. The kid took like a step back the lefty and that was way off and you knew it from the beginning. And then he air balled it.
Eddie
Yeah, you thought the form was good on this half court.
Bobby Bones
You know the one that looked good was the Iowa from the corner.
Kevin
Yes.
Bobby Bones
He was alone as soon as it came off his hand. This wasn't this round because they lost this round, but the game before. Yeah, he was wide open. It was a fast break to win, to win that game against Florida.
Kevin
Knockout Florida.
Bobby Bones
That, that, that one was in as soon as it left his hand.
Kevin
Yeah, I saw it.
Eddie
This, this game was the best ending so far of the tournament.
Robert Parish
Right.
Eddie
Like, this is the best, this is
Bobby Bones
one of the best to make that shot.
Kevin
It.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
In an NCAA tournament game, that's the furthest game winning shot like that within one second ever.
Eddie
The furthest away. That's amazing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because there have been long ones made, but then there's like three seconds still on the clock like this hit and it was like 0.2 or 3 on.
Kevin
Yeah, 0.3. And then they changed it to 0.4.
Eddie
And then to think that coming back from a 19 point deficit and winning would be like 6 in NCAA tournament history. That's crazy too. Like there's been crazier games than this.
Bobby Bones
And Duke, they just have, they have the number one recruiting class every year.
Kevin
Man, those boozer kids are good. But that's tough that the one of the brothers was the one that turned it over. Felt bad for him.
Bobby Bones
I feel bad for Kaden because he's shorter. Like, he's not. He's not the guy. I mean, he's a guard, and that's crazy.
Eddie
They're twins, right? And I always think, like, oh, yeah, the little one. Even though he's not little.
Bobby Bones
And I didn't know the difference in their height until that commercial. Maybe it's a T mobile commercial.
Kevin
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
They're face to face talking in the commercial. And I'm like, oh, man, he really is a lot smaller. It's not just that Cam. Boozer is just the better athlete. It's just he has the size.
Eddie
Yeah, he's bigger.
Kevin
Yeah. Did you hear the Duke radio call?
Bobby Bones
I. We have it here.
Kevin
Yeah. Eddie, have you heard it?
Eddie
No, I'm not.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so. Oh, Kevin's only brought it in. That's why I have it here. Kevin, great job on you.
Eddie
Thanks.
Bobby Bones
Duke radio announcers wanted a technical for the Husky players running off the bench after Yukon hits the game winning shot on Sunday. Here you go.
Kevin (announcer voice)
Get it in. They do for Boozer. Bobbled it back for Star. Needs to get rid of it. Does for Kaden. 7 seconds. Try to throw it ahead. Deflected. Stolen by Connecticut. Two seconds. It's Mullins up top for the win.
Bobby Bones
Oh, he hit it.
Kevin (announcer voice)
With 3/10 of a second to go. Valakai Smith ran off the bench. That should be a technical, but with three tenths of a second ago, Connecticut has the lead. 73, 72.
Eddie
You wish, buddy.
Bobby Bones
No ref is gonna call that technical.
Kevin
But what about the Hurley, like, headbutting that? Ref, did you see that clip?
Eddie
No, no, he actually headbutted.
Brandon
Dude.
Eddie
He.
Kevin
He was, like, all intense after they made it. And he walked up to the ref, almost like, to be like, yeah, we just made that. And I mean, got, like, in his. It was weird. Everyone's like, why didn't he get a technical? You'll see.
Bobby Bones
A little bit probably. I get annoyed at the Hurley stuff, but a little bit probably because they know who he is.
Kevin
That's what I was thinking.
Bobby Bones
He does that crap all the time. And if you called it every single time, it'd be non stop text.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
He probably gets the benefit of the doubt for winning and always being crazy.
Kevin
That's fair.
Bobby Bones
I didn't see it. That's. Without me seeing the clip because he's always going insane. They don't call crap. Yeah, because you'd call 10 texts on him a game.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
Even when they made the shot. I mean, he was. He was going nuts.
Eddie
You ever see Hurley with a hat on?
Bobby Bones
Huh?
Eddie
He looks young.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Kevin
Most people do.
Eddie
He looks young and then he's like. Takes his head off. Like he's old again.
Bobby Bones
Arizona is awesome. Purdue gave him a run. Yeah. And then Arizona came back and really, they're really good. They're really good.
Eddie
I think Michigan's the dominant one, though.
Bobby Bones
Dude, I'm telling you. Arizona, Michigan are the two teams.
Kevin
Yep.
Bobby Bones
I think Arizona. Oh, they're both so good.
Eddie
I wish that's not the case because I have Illinois on my Calcutta, which would be. Oh, my gosh, can you imf?
Bobby Bones
But I think they can be Yukon.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Illinois and Yukon and Michigan and Arizona are playing. And that's Saturday. Indianapolis Saturday.
Eddie
And then the championship is on Monday, correct?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Brandon
What time do we leave?
Bobby Bones
We don't.
Robert Parish
Yeah.
Eddie
When does plane leave?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I didn't even know there was basketball. They canceled it.
Eddie
I'm surprised you watched it, like just
Bobby Bones
the very, very end. Because I was watching the score. We were also watching the Arkansas softball game, which they had a big three, a big home run to win the game, which was crazy because Florida's number five in the country. So we had it going, but I just have no interest and my wife isn't going to watch a game with me that I'm not super interested in only because I bet on it. I don't even bet on it because,
Eddie
like the Michigan, Tennessee game, I'm just like, why am I watching this?
Kevin
It was a blow off in the gig.
Eddie
No need to watch this game.
Kevin
I didn't watch any.
Bobby Bones
I just solved score.
Robert Parish
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Again, I didn't even know there was
Eddie
basketball, which might be the first game of the tournament that I did not watch.
Bobby Bones
Like, oh, it was the first round for me. I didn't want. I've watched every game until that because I was just home with the baby. That's it. So. Yeah. And the baby's doing about a mile on the treadmill now. Up to a mile. That's great. Yeah.
Kevin
Thank you.
Eddie
Crawling?
Bobby Bones
No, no, she'll get up sometimes. There's just a few steps.
Kevin
Light jog maybe.
Brandon
That's pretty good for a newborn.
Bobby Bones
Yes, it's very good.
Eddie
Really good. Brandon.
Bobby Bones
We tech. We went to chat gbt and we're like, newborn only doing a mile. Should we be embarrassed? I was like, no, that's great. You should do that. Listen to this story about Brandon. So I was talking to Brandon over the weekend and he's like, hey, man, I got it. My mouth hurts. I got an abscess in my mouth. And so he went. You went to an emergency dentist?
Brandon
Yeah, man. I woke up on Saturday this. This side, and it's still really swollen, but it was like the size of a golf ball. And I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, and it hurt to chew all that stuff. And so I was like. So I tried to call around to any emergency dental place. There was none.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know there were emergency dental places. I thought you had to, like, call a dentist to get them to come in.
Brandon
That was me, too. And so I got a hold of somebody and they said, yeah, we don't have a dentist in. You should just go to an urgent care, regular urgent care, just to make sure it's not infected. I was like, okay. So I go. And while I'm waiting, I'm searching, I'm searching. And I found one. South of Nashville, emergency dental, they're open 9 to 9 every single day.
Bobby Bones
9 to 9. 9pm to 9am 9am to 9pm okay, so what if you have it at midnight, though? You're just screwed.
Eddie
Not really an emergency dental place.
Brandon
Right.
Bobby Bones
I guess that's where you don't have to get an appointment at any time.
Brandon
Oh, they take walk ins, all the things. So. So I canceled the urgent care. I told. Told the doctor what was up. He was like, oh, dude, just go. So I got an appointment for 6pm I go in, they give me two huge shots of numbing stuff. And by then, dude, it was a baseball.
Bobby Bones
It was getting bigger. Could you feel it getting bigger, dude?
Brandon
Yeah, Baseball and that pain, they're like 1 to 10. What's your pain? I was like, I'm going to say a nine.
Bobby Bones
This is.
Brandon
This is unbearable.
Bobby Bones
And Brandon's like, my mouth hurts, but if you need anything, let me know. I'll cut some clips. And I'm like, dude, I like, dude, I got your photo. Handle your stuff.
Eddie
It's got a baseball.
Kevin
I'm like, drooling on his computer.
Brandon
I'm in the chair, like, you know, texting pictures. But yeah, they started a root canal. That's what I had to get. And I already had a crown on this tooth. So what they think is the crown broke.
Bobby Bones
And there was, you know, stuff, like debris from the.
Brandon
There was just stuff getting in there over time.
Bobby Bones
Oh, got it.
Brandon
You know, and just slowly infecting and then, you know, waking up like that. They said I caught it early. So 8pm I'm getting a root canal. They give me a temporary crown and I Get home by like, 11:30.
Eddie
Wow.
Kevin
You know, and you look fine. You feeling good? Thanks, man.
Brandon
I feel so much better. Oh, my gosh. But right here, you can feel it. It's. It's like a. Like a grape.
Eddie
It's gotten smaller.
Brandon
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
How'd that root canal feel?
Brandon
Better than.
Bobby Bones
Better than I thought.
Brandon
I've had one done before, two or three years ago, and it was fast. And they. I'm deathly afraid of the dentist. I hate it, you know, but they walked me through everything. They told me what they were doing, and I think they got it done in, like, 45 minutes.
Bobby Bones
Did it. It didn't hurt real bad. No.
Brandon
Because they numbed literally this entire side of my face.
Bobby Bones
I started to get root canals when I first started to go to the dentist. So I never went as a kid, but then when I started to go to the dentist in my twenties, when I got insurance, I had price. Seven years of work I had to do to get back to normal. And at that time, getting a root canal. When I very first started getting root canal. So I was probably 2001. They hurt, they hurt. I had, like, three immediate. They hurt, they hurt, they hurt. Different dentists. And then over time, I. I feel like I can go to the dentist now and get a root canal. If I have to get one, I can. I can go in. It doesn't the shots hurt a little bit when they numb you? But they're able to do that now so easily.
Brandon
The technology is. It's incredible.
Eddie
Don't they knock you out? Don't you. Or a gas. Laughing gas or what do you do?
Bobby Bones
I do laughing gas, dude. If I had a machine at my house, I'd do that today.
Eddie
It's a recreation.
Kevin
That's why you don't have a machine.
Bobby Bones
It's one of the greatest. It's the only time I've ever been, like, high. That's when I, like, understand what love even is.
Eddie
Yeah, man. It just. Everything just makes sense.
Bobby Bones
I'm not kidding. Like, I'm floating in all black. The last time I was floating and I was in all black and I could hear the music they're playing.
Eddie
But Hendrix, what was it?
Bobby Bones
And how. No, it's just whatever they're playing on, like, the PA system, but when you're totally aware, you can hear the song as you do more and more laughing, and then it disappears. And that's how I know I'm coming back. Because I've had so much dental work. Like, I know where I am now. It's like somebody who's really good at drugs. Takes a lot of drugs. They know exactly where they are. When I start doing music starts to come back, but I can't hear it. I know I'm coming back, too. And then when I hear it fully, I'm back. I'm like, God damn, that sounds like a movie. Yeah. I'm never more relaxed, though. It's a place that I've never been in my life that I get on laughing gas where I'm not tense, I'm not stressed. I'm, like, thinking about abstract thoughts, not just how to get stuff done that's cool.
Eddie
Just regular thoughts.
Bobby Bones
It's wild.
Eddie
You know, Brandon's talking about his story about his, like, the baseball thing. I had a golf ball one. Like, I don't. This is, like, a couple years ago on my cheek. And I went to the doctor. I'm like, what is happening? This thing is getting bigger and bigger.
DraftKings/Gambling Disclaimer Voice
Did it hurt?
Eddie
Oh, it hurts so bad. And it ended up being too many margaritas. The doctor was like, you need your salivary glands. Yeah, your salivary glands getting infected. He's like, are you drinking anything sour? And I was like, I don't think so. Then I realized, like, I've been drinking margaritas every night for the last, like, two weeks, so.
Bobby Bones
But there had to be something that allowed the margaritas.
Eddie
The lime man, the lime margarita.
Bobby Bones
No, but there had to be something wrong with it, that the margarita affected it in a negative way.
Eddie
He said, basically, if you're. If you're. Something sour that you're drinking has, like, clogged up your salivary gland, and it's like, all margaritas. So blame the margaritas. I had to cut out margaritas in my life.
Brandon
Did they have to drain it out and Martin just come out
Kevin
frozen?
Eddie
Margarita comes out. Nah, they just put me on antibiotics. But that was crazy. I had to cut out margaritas in my life.
Bobby Bones
So Eddie has a friend, I guess, who do you know that's selling a cow?
Eddie
Okay. So this is a buddy of mine who. He has a farm. And he called me one day. He's like, man, I have an opportunity for you, because I know you love to grill. You love to smoke meat. He's like, I'm. I'm doing this thing for my friends where, like, you can buy a cow.
Kevin
Do it.
Bobby Bones
And he's like, I need to hear more about this.
Eddie
He said, get your buddies involved. Like, because if you buy a whole cow. Because you can buy a whole cow for, like, two grand. And. And it's like, that's a lot of meat. So if you want, you can do a quarter of a cow, which is less meat, but still a lot of meat. So it's $900 to buy a quarter of a cow. You get to pick which cuts you want. You want briskets out of it. You want T bones, you want rib eyes, filets, ground beef, whatever you want. You get to choose your quarter of the cow for 900 bucks.
Robert Parish
Wow.
Eddie
And I said, you know what? Stand by. I'm going to talk to my buddies.
Bobby Bones
It's just for meat, though. It's not an investment.
Eddie
No, it's meat. It's just me.
Kevin
I'm out then.
Eddie
Dude. The freshest meat, it's a cow. So if we buy today, we will have fresh meat by next year, next April.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't know the difference. That if I went to whole foods
Eddie
and my body does your body knows.
Bobby Bones
If it were some sort of investment or it's like, buy a baby cow and then sell it later, maybe I would be into it. I'm not buying it for meat.
Eddie
You don't want fresh meat.
Bobby Bones
Yes. You go to the store, and nobody.
Kevin
I mean, technically, you're saving money. Right, Eddie?
Eddie
That's what he said.
Kevin
Because you get in such big bulk now you're saving money.
Bobby Bones
You buy a quarter of a cow.
Eddie
Yep.
Bobby Bones
For how much?
Eddie
900 bucks.
Bobby Bones
But a whole cow's how much?
Brandon
2,000.
Eddie
I mean, it's like.
Kevin
I heard.
Bobby Bones
That makes no sense.
Kevin
What do you mean?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because you. If you buy half of the cow, that's 1800.
Eddie
Oh, I. I meant to say 4000. That's on me. That's. That's my math. Oh, that's my math. Plus, like, so. So you can buy the quarter for 900, or you can buy the whole cow. And he's not trying to make money off us. He said, this is just for my buddies.
Bobby Bones
If I could buy a cow and then sell it to idiots, who'd buy the quarter, then I'd be in there you go.
Kevin
I'll buy an eighth.
Eddie
I did think that it was a business opportunity when he first called.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, meat opportunity.
Kevin
Where's this coming from?
Eddie
A ranch right down the road in Dixon.
Kevin
Nice.
Bobby Bones
Are you gonna buy. You have to not. You have to get people in with you.
Eddie
I can't do it by myself. I don't even have that much storage. Like, I can't buy half a cow or a quarter of a cow and put that in my freezer, so. But if you guys want to go in and we split Our cuts, dude. If you want. If you want, you can pick your rib eyes or whatever, and I'll grill them for you. 900 bucks. We can all go in on a quarter of a cow right now.
Bobby Bones
I'm out. I don't need the meat.
Eddie
But you love meat.
Bobby Bones
So now it's a third of a cow if you guys want it. And Mike, because Mike's vegan, he.
Eddie
I wasn't talking to you, Mike.
Brandon
Mike buys in just to throw it away.
Bobby Bones
So 300 bucks. 333 bucks from each of you if you want all that meat. Kevin.
Eddie
Kevin.
Kevin
Dude, I'm in.
Bobby Bones
But you need a third or it's gonna be 500.
Kevin
Was that me?
Eddie
That's what cow's saying.
Kevin
Don't do it.
Bobby Bones
It's actually Doug Cow Eddie brought in so you could hear the one we're gonna.
Kevin
So if it's me, you, and Brandon, what is it? 300 bucks?
Bobby Bones
333.
Kevin
333.
Bobby Bones
Let me.
Brandon
Let me think about it.
Kevin
I gotta know how much it is, too, because to your point, I gotta.
Bobby Bones
Wait. That's not right. That's a thousand. I was thinking, if I were to do it, I'd say it was a thousand. If it were 900. So it's 300 each.
Kevin
You make $100.
Bobby Bones
In my mind, I was. Yes. In my mind, I was like, how?
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
I mean, there may be some processing fees in there.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God.
Kevin
Here we go.
Bobby Bones
Shipping amount.
Eddie
That's not going to be any more
Bobby Bones
than, like, it could be 333. Now, that's what.
Eddie
That's what I'm saying. It might be 333, dude.
Kevin
I mean, I'm in.
Bobby Bones
You're not getting it till April.
Eddie
It's a year.
Kevin
Yeah, a year. Right. They're going to raise it and. Yeah, that's fine. That gives me time to create space.
Eddie
If we say yes today, they're going to. He's going to buy the cow as
Bobby Bones
a little calf he's making money off of.
Eddie
You know, he said no.
Brandon
This feels like a pyramid scheme right now, the way you're talking.
Bobby Bones
And then you get four people to buy. Yeah.
Brandon
On the ground floor.
Kevin
Can we come visit the cow?
Eddie
Yes. Yes. Say send you pictures of it.
Brandon
That make it worse?
Kevin
No, that would make it worse for sure.
Bobby Bones
The cow mysteriously dies. Yeah.
Eddie
So you're out completely.
Bobby Bones
I don't want the meat.
Eddie
What? You love meat.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but I like to buy meat from the grocery store now. When I want it, when you need it.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And I don't need you to cook it.
Eddie
Brandon, man, I'm, I'm, I'll.
Brandon
I'll let you know.
Eddie
Okay.
Brandon
Yeah.
Eddie
Clock's ticking though, guys.
Kevin
That is the line of amount.
Bobby Bones
You can't press us on the clocks ticket.
Eddie
Well, I'm just saying the longer we wait, the longer we have to wait for this meat. It's gonna take a whole year.
Bobby Bones
That to me is not appealing.
Kevin
Oh, I. I think it sounds great.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That it's gonna take a whole year. You might die. Well, then you spend all this money
Brandon
or the cow might die.
Kevin
When you say it like that, Mike. Yeah, we gotta sign something to make sure the cow gets to a certain age.
Eddie
You guys are out. Whatever.
Bobby Bones
Hey, Kevin said he might be in. I'm in here.
Eddie
So it's just me and Kevin.
Bobby Bones
I thought it was a money making opportunity. I'd have been in on that.
Eddie
It's a meat making opportunity.
Bobby Bones
Did you watch the dinosaurs on Netflix?
Kevin
Yeah. Well, not all of them. I've watched three of the dinosaurs. Not all the dinosaurs.
Bobby Bones
My wife and I thought about watching it. We didn't jump.
Kevin
Yeah. And if you've seen the reviews, it's got like these glowing, massive.
Bobby Bones
That's why we thought about it.
Kevin
And I'm like, I watched. We've watched, like I said, three of the four and I. I'm going to watch the last one, I'm pretty sure. But I'm not like, eager to watch it. It's been almost a week and I haven't watched it. And they're only like 45 minutes.
Bobby Bones
Would you buy a quarter of a Tyrannosaurus for $900?
Eddie
100%.
Kevin
933. The graphics, CGI, all that is unreal. Amazing. But like the stories themselves and the facts and all that. Yeah, it's just like I don't feel like I'm learning anything. And I want to learn something if I'm watching it. Like, they just throw random stuff in here and they go from like 203, 30 million years to like 98 and then back, I don't know, back and forth. So it's good to watch visually, but it's not my favorite.
Bobby Bones
Mike. Do you watch it? Yeah, I learned a lot, but learned
Eddie
a lot about what though, Mike.
Bobby Bones
Like how the dinosaurs adapted to the environment, how much the world has changed over all those millions of years, and like how they're basically chickens.
Eddie
I feel like it's like because they're birds or birds. I watched the first episode and I just.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you did?
Eddie
Yeah, I did. And I felt Like, I was like, this is a cool fictional story. Like. Like, how do they know that, too?
Kevin
That's another factor.
Eddie
I enjoyed it because it's kind of like. Well, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
The visual of that carbon dating by their bones.
Eddie
Possibly.
Kevin
No, no, no, no.
Bobby Bones
Not possibly.
Eddie
It's a guess for Mike to be like, I learned so much. I don't know what we learned.
Bobby Bones
It is not a guess. It's. I mean, I think they form a hypothesis and they chase it down.
Eddie
That's a guess. That's a fancy way of saying I guess.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But then they do the work to figure out if they feel like it's true based on what they had originally thought.
Eddie
Yeah. Now it is cool to see, like, a dinosaur attack. Yeah, like, that's cool to see that real. I know. That's what I'm saying. It's a good movie. It's like, it's. It's like watching a movie. But I wouldn't watch it to be
Bobby Bones
like, they're real life Scientologists. Paleontologists.
Eddie
Yeah, but they're just like us, man.
Bobby Bones
They're not.
Eddie
Those titles make them sound so smart. But they're just like us, you know, like, they're hanging out at a bar right now, watching basketball.
Kevin
Yeah. Buying a cow.
Brandon
Does it help that Morgan Freeman?
Bobby Bones
Of course.
Kevin
I mean, of course that's cool. Yeah. Like I said, it's cool to, like, look at and watch and all that. But even, like, the first dinosaur, I don't really know where it came from. Still.
Brandon
40 billion years ago.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but the first anything. We really don't know where it came from.
Kevin
I know.
Eddie
Andy, new phrase.
Brandon
The velociraptor.
Kevin
It was a tiny one.
Bobby Bones
I can't believe that. You think a paleontologist just like us.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I mean, but what about, like, an astrophysicist?
Eddie
The only reason I say that is because, like, I went to high school with people that are doctors. I'm like, dude, I know. I know these guys.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but you're not taking a shot at paleontology.
Eddie
No, no, just.
Bobby Bones
Just because you said they guessed. But you could say that about physicists.
Eddie
Correct.
Bobby Bones
You could say that about a lot of science.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you watch the dinosaur one. It's like, it's really cool. The visual is awesome. But I wouldn't look at it and be like, wow, that's really how it was. We don't know. They're just guessing. But it's a cool guess.
Bobby Bones
What about when they do Unsolved Mysteries and they show you the person doing the crime.
Eddie
I love those.
Bobby Bones
Based on what? The conclusions they've drawn. Huh?
Eddie
The reenactments.
Kevin
Is that real?
Eddie
No, it's not.
Bobby Bones
Close, though. Based on what they know, there's one dinosaur show was basically just Unsolved Mysteries.
Eddie
Pretty much. Yeah. The reenactment.
Janet Freeman Daly
Yeah.
Eddie
There's one where, like, Matthew McConaughey's reenact in one. Like, an unsolved mystery.
Robert Parish
No way.
Kevin
Dinosaurs.
Bobby Bones
You also didn't believe in dinosaurs, though, I remember correctly, until a few years ago.
Robert Parish
Yeah.
Eddie
A couple years ago is when I.
Brandon
Wait, wait, what?
Bobby Bones
Exactly. That's. I'm trying to piece all this together as he's talking. I just remember Eddie also, he just thought they were fictional as, like, they were a cartoon. Not real.
Eddie
Correct. I remember going to the museum and they'd have, like, dinosaur prints. I'm like, oh, that's cute. Like, dinosaurs. It's like. It's like Medusa. Like, oh, she had snakes coming out of her head. Cool. Like Zeus. Yeah. Lightning bolts. Love it.
Bobby Bones
So mythology and dinosaurs to you were the same.
Eddie
Correct. And then I realized later, I'm like, no, this is. They were like real animals that roamed.
Brandon
How much. How much later?
Bobby Bones
Like, a few years ago.
Eddie
Found this out, like, two years ago.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Eddie
Yeah. I thought it was like. Yeah, like a myth, the dinosaurs roaming the Earth. But it's crazy. The thing is, I don't think that they were as big as we thought that they were. Right. Like, they're not super, super huge.
Bobby Bones
Well, scale was different because there weren't buildings to compare it to.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
So I do think. I don't know. Let's ask.
Kevin
And it just took millions of years to get to that size.
Bobby Bones
Like, I think the brontosaurus, in my mind, is the biggest. Now, it's only because as a kid, it was always painted the biggest.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So let me ask here. What was the largest dinosaur and how large was it?
Podcast Host
The largest known dinosaur and indeed the largest land animal ever was probably Argentinosaurus. This massive titanosaur lived during the late Cretaceous period, around 95 to 100 million years ago. Based on fossil estimates, Argentinosaurus is thought to have reached lengths of about 100 to 120ft and may have weighed in the ballpark of 70 to 100 tons. In other words, it was like a walking building.
Bobby Bones
How big was the brontosaurus?
Podcast Host
The brontosaurus was definitely big, though not as gigantic as the largest Titanosaurus. Adults were typically around 70 to 75ft long and weighed about 15 to 20 tons. They were still Massive by any measure. Picture something longer than a standard school bus and weighing more than a couple of elephants.
Bobby Bones
How tall was the brontosaurus?
Podcast Host
Brontosaurus stood roughly 15 to 20ft tall at the hips. When you factor in its long neck extending upwards, it could easily reach around 40 to 50ft high when stretching its neck upward. So it could feed from pretty tall trees, making it a true giant of the Jurassic.
Eddie
That's pretty big.
Bobby Bones
20ft from the hips, that's really big, huh?
Eddie
What does she call it? A titanosaurus.
Bobby Bones
I guess that's the bigger version of just a dinosaur.
Kevin
Dude, that's scary.
Bobby Bones
It feels like some Transformers, doesn't it?
Kevin
Yeah.
Brandon
Sending you a picture of the Argentinosaurus.
Robert Parish
Whoa.
Brandon
This is insane.
Bobby Bones
Come on.
Brandon
And these are the fossils that they found.
Eddie
Right.
Brandon
That are real, Eddie.
Eddie
That are real now. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I have one other question. We have a friend here who doesn't really believe in dinosaurs, or he has a loose belief in them, but he thinks they're just guessing. Whenever he watches a series like on Netflix called Dinosaurs, he doesn't think that they really are what are depicted. What would you say to him?
Podcast Host
I'd say it's understandable to be skeptical of how exact we can be. After all, we're talking about creatures from millions of years ago. But I'd remind him that paleontology is a science. It's not just guesswork. It's based on fossils, bones, and evidence. Scientists piece together clues like footprints, fossilized skin impressions, and even chemical analysis of bones. Are the Netflix animations perfect? No, they're artistic interpretations based on the best available evidence. But the bones themselves, those are real. And they tell us these creatures absolutely existed.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What they look like. I mean, she's. She's saying that. What they look like.
Bobby Bones
No, she's not saying what you said.
Eddie
Yeah, but, like, we don't know how they moved. We don't even know how they ate the other ones or how they can
Bobby Bones
know how to move based on how big they were or even, like the distance in bones. Yeah, like if you put the hips together, the legs. You sent a picture of the. Yeah, the bumblebee. Send me bumblebee.
Brandon
Argentinosaurus.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow.
Eddie
Who has that?
Bobby Bones
That looks like a Tyrannosaurus and a brontosaurus made love and that came out. It looks mean and angry with the teeth, but then it's a big, tall, giraffe looking thing, like a. How did it turn into a dinosaur podcast?
Kevin
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I'm here for it.
Kevin
Eddie called out the paleontologist yeah.
Bobby Bones
It was kind of weird because you just don't. You're not a believer. You are.
Eddie
I think they're doing fine. Fine work. But they're also guessing.
Bobby Bones
They're not guessing. That's not accurate. They're not guessing.
Eddie
They're not guessing how one dinosaur attacked the other one. Yes, they are. Based on how they think. The bones.
Bobby Bones
They're formulating educated opinions based on the chemical, the bones, everything that they're able to put together. So they're not guessing.
Eddie
You're like a lawyer.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm not. There's just a difference in guessing and having some evidence and basing what you think based off the evidence that is given.
Eddie
Right.
Brandon
What's crazy is how they can see from the teeth that these dinosaurs are carnivores or herbivores. Because they can see from the teeth. That's incredible to me. So they can predict. Oh, yeah. The Tyrannosaurus. This is what his teeth looks like. They can see from bones that have been probably attacked by those same teeth.
Bobby Bones
Oh, even the bones. That's a good point. No, but Eddie says there's no way. Oh, Eddie.
Eddie
They're probably, like, at a bar being like, guys, we gotta come up with something. We've been doing this for how long?
Kevin
One more shot and we'll get it. Come on.
Bobby Bones
All right, we have Robert Parrish coming up. Robert Parrish, the Celtics great. Who wrote a book? We'll talk to him. And then Eddie got into it with a kid at a gym. So we'll talk about that. Yeah, yeah, we got into it as a fight.
Eddie
Yeah, just, you know, clarify.
Bobby Bones
I didn't say what. What else.
Eddie
Eddie got into it with a kid. Just sounds weird. Just.
Bobby Bones
I don't think. Got into it. Sounds weird.
Kevin
I wouldn't have gone there with my friends.
Bobby Bones
Might have said.
Eddie
Just clarifying, man. You just want to be very clear.
Bobby Bones
If I said Eddie wrestled with a kid in the gym, that would be weird.
Kevin
Or Eddie did some weird things with a kid, that would be weird.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that would be weird.
Brandon
Or even Eddie punched a kid. That'd be even worse.
Bobby Bones
Got into it.
Eddie
Got into it. Okay.

When I first heard the words you have lung cancer, I was in shock.
Health Discovered Narrator
This week on a special episode of Health Discovery, we're taking a closer look at a common form of lung cancer that accounts for 85% of all cases.
Janet Freeman Daly
I'm Janet Freeman Daly and I've been living with non small cell lung cancer since 2011.
Health Discovered Narrator
Non small cell lung cancer. It's a diagnosis that changes everything and yet the conversation around it too often stops at the biology and misses what patients are actually living through every single day.
Janet Freeman Daly
There are some things you used to be able to do that you can't do anymore. It's easy to become depressed when you're dealing with all those losses. So mental health plays a really big role.
Health Discovered Narrator
So what does it really mean to advocate for yourself when you're living with non small cell lung cancer? Listen to health discovered on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Bobby Bones
Always good. Here's our talk with NBA hall of Famer and Boston Celtics legend Robert Parish. The Chief. That name was given him by Cedric Maxwell for his quiet and stoic demeanor during his playing days. Four time NBA champion, nine time all star, a big part of the Celtics long dynasty run in the 80s. He's got a new book called the Chief the Story of the Boston Celtics Most Enigmatic icon, which you can purchase on Amazon if you're a Chief fan. Or I guess you could also be a Celtics fan. I'm gonna say Chiefs fan.
Robert Parish
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Big thanks to Robert Parish for coming on with us. He's 72 years old and tall.
Kevin
Very tall.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And he won a championship with the Bulls.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Which is crazy. You forget about that.
Kevin
Yeah. You don't think about that. He played with Bird and Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan won a championship. Crazy.
Robert Parish
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Here he is, Robert Parrish. My first question is like, I know you for not saying much. So how tough was it to write a book where you had to say everything?
Robert Parish
Actually Quite easy, as I've said before, more open, more accessible, better listener. So I feel like because of the transformation or the growth, whatever you want to call it, feel like it was a good time to do about to then let my fans and my haters know that I do have personality. I do smile, I do tell jokes, I do talk a lot of trash. So just get them. I look through their window at who and what I am, not just an athlete.
Bobby Bones
Something that I did not know is that you were drafted by Golden State. I just. I can see you playing with the Celtics, but I didn't know you were drafted by Golden State. So you played with them for a few years. What was it like personally, what did it feel like to be traded?
Robert Parish
I took it as an insult initially because we was in the midst of doing a new contract, we was in contract negotiations, so I thought I was going in the process getting an extension from the Warriors. And then when we was two days away from finalizing the deal, I get a call from the warriors, the general manager saying that I had been traded. And so my first instinct was, I'm going to a city that reminds me of the south, segregation, and playing with that overrated white boy. And I was wrong on both fronts, no question.
Bobby Bones
Growing up in Louisiana, then you're in California, like Boston to me, growing up in the South, I grew up in Arkansas. First time I ever went to Boston or New York, it was a culture shock to me. To you, when you go to Boston, what was it like for you the first time?
Robert Parish
It was all love, Very warm reception. The executives, ownership, fans were very gracious, very warm, receptive. Initially, getting back on my perception that I had of Boston coming in. The perception is far worse than reality. I have never experienced any type of rejection, any type of prejudice. It's just been all love for me. Now, don't get me wrong, I know prejudice and racism is in every city, so I'm not going to say Boston does not have its flaws. Every city does. I'm just saying I was not exposed to it is all I'm saying. And to piggyback on what I'm saying about that old rated white boy, was I ever wrong? If anything, he's underrated, in my opinion. Anyway.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. What was it like? What was Larry like? I got a Larry Ball that sits behind me here, too. What was Larry like as a dude?
Robert Parish
Cool. Cool brother. No question about it. You got to get to know him, though. If you don't know him, he gives off that vibe. Leaving me alone. I don't want to be bothered. But if you get to know him, if he let you in to his inner circle, oh, funny, always talking trash. If he's legendary, known for, you know, has a sense of humor, easy to get along with. I like his leadership style. He's not aggressive with his leadership. He leads by example. And he's not the vocal type leader, which I think long term works best. Because if you are confrontational and gets in people's face, after a while, they ignore you and what you're saying become background noise. So all around, I have no complaints about my time with Larry in the Boston Celtics. It's been all good.
Bobby Bones
Whenever you sat down and you started writing the book, was there a part of your life that you wanted to share that it was important for you to share because you didn't think people quite understood this part of your story, the people part.
Robert Parish
I know that I have these tendencies of peculiarities, whatever you want to call them. I know I give off that vibe as being distant and dismissive. And I know that's one. That's probably the main reason why my relationship with the Boston media is, what be the word, fragile. And that's mainly because of me. Nothing that the Boston media did or said. I'm really not a people person. I prefer my own company. And I know I made their job difficult because I pretty much avoided them as much as I could and that made their job more difficult.
Bobby Bones
Whenever you were coming up as a kid, you didn't play basketball until a little later than most kids did. Someone discover you as an athlete and go, hey, we need to put you in basketball. And how quickly did you adapt to actually being good at basketball?
Robert Parish
Well, I would say I was discovered as an athlete. I was discovered as a tall person because I certainly was not an athlete by any stretch of the imagination. My junior high school coach, Coleman Kidd, pursued me, encouraged me, always with the positivity, especially. I didn't start playing organized basketball until the seventh grade. And it showed. Growing up, my siblings and my neighbors friends, we played baseball, football, soccer, we race, ran track. We never played basketball. So it was very humbling, awkward time in my life because athletics came naturally to me. Except for basketball was not a good showing a good start. My first two years, I feel like I wasted my time. But my coach at the time, Coach Kidd, told me to stay with it. You were that tall for a reason. And I used to tell him, yeah, I'm this tall for a reason because my parents are tall. That's the only reason I could think of Certainly not because of athletics. No question.
Bobby Bones
At what point did basketball start to feel easier to you?
Robert Parish
One day, ninth grade, before. Give you a little context here. Before school started, the 8 o' clock bell rang. We used to have morning scrimmages every morning. And so I never showed any promise, never showed any possibilities of getting better. Only thing I was doing was just getting cardio, running up and down the floor. That's all I was able to do. And then maybe the third game into my ninth grade, that third season, I caught the basketball. Don't ask me why, how I caught it, but I could never catch it before. So for me, that was a turning point. My number, junior high school, was double zero. And my teammates and the student body used to call me double nothing. And it was appropriate because I didn't have any idea what to do with the basketball until the next grade. And then for some reason, it just all came together. All that hard work, all that sacrifice, all that encouragement from coach kid paid off. I was finally rewarded for the effort.
Bobby Bones
We have a guy on the show that is a massive Celtics fan, like Die Hard. And so I wanted to bring him in to ask you a couple questions. This is Kevin.
Kevin
Yeah, how you doing, Mr. Parrish?
Bobby Bones
Or Chief.
Kevin
Can I call you Chief?
Robert Parish
Either one.
Kevin
All right, I appreciate that. Thanks for coming on. You were part of the 80s Celtics, Lakers rivalry that I wasn't around to see, but my dad still talks about till this day. And people say it brought basketball back, the NBA back. What was that like playing in that rivalry just for 10 straight years, basically playing each other all the time in the finals, you guys getting the best of them. What was that like?
Robert Parish
It was rewarding. It was educational. I would have to say they had tremendous influence and they definitely had our attention because I know they paid attention to what we was doing, who we was playing, how bad we beat them. And we did the same thing with the Lakers. We followed them, we paid attention to them because they pretty much mirrored the way we go about our business. We play hard, we play together, we play smart. And that's the way the Lakers played and approached the game also. So I think Larry Magic had a lot to do with the intensity of the robbery. I'm going to go back a little further. Russell Chamberlain started that Laker Celtic robbery, in my opinion. And then Larry and Magic in college, and that continued on to the pros. So they just intensified that rivalry because of the competitive nature of those players. So I always feel like it was great not only for the Lakers and the Celtics. But for the fans and the NBA because we play some of the best basketball at that time.
Kevin
And what about rivalries in general back then? We see all the clips of the fights you laimbeer everybody going at it. Was that real or was that like a competitive thing on the court? Did you guys actually hate each other?
Robert Parish
I think hate is too strong of a word really. I don't think dislike them. We didn't like one another. I think it's safe to say that. But certain they. Detroit was the up and coming team in the East. Our biggest rival in the east were the 76ers. Dr. J and Tony and Cheeks and Bobby Jones and Dawkins and those guys. And then Larry and Dr. You know who's the best player in the East? They were both striving and competing for dominance.
Bobby Bones
And.
Robert Parish
And the best be number one. And then that robbery escalated when the 76ers got Moses Malone. I think the robbery intensified, made both sides more competitive. Must, must watch basketball in my opinion, every time those two teams met. So it was great for the NBA, great for the Celtics, 76ers. And I must say having Moses in east help make all of us better because we had to get better to get past the Sixers.
Kevin
And what about this year? I saw you at the game recently. The Celtics just clinched a playoff spot. And big surprise for everybody, especially the fans. What do you think? Is it Missoula, is it Jalen Brown this year that they were able to outperform what the expectations were?
Robert Parish
It starts upstairs. Brad Stevens, the architect. That's where it starts. And then. And then trickle down to the coach, Joe Missoula. I think the mentality, the mindset, and also you got to get the players credit for buying into coach Missoula's philosophy. They, they kind of mirror the Celtics of the 80s in, in this regard. They play hard, they play smart and they play together. And unfortunately that Tatum got hurt. He went down with an injury. But I think what that injury did, it made the current Celtics realize the benefits and the rewards of playing solid defense, consistent defense. And that's one of the reasons why they won the championship. Because they were playing that suffocating, disruptive defense and they're back to those defensive tendencies. And I think that's one of the main reasons why you see a surprise. Because in my opinion, I don't think the Celtics were starting over when they lost Tatum. They just reloaded. Guys that stepped up. White Preacher and company just stepped up along with Jalen Brown. They all stepped up and picked up the board that was left by Jason Tatum since he is their best player.
Bobby Bones
You played for 21 seasons. How did you stay healthy for 21 seasons?
Robert Parish
A big help that dose of luck. First of all, anatomy played a play the part. Genetics rather. And stretching. I took the martial arts. We, we stretched for an hour before we did any type of defensive, defensive moves and imposes and tactics. Also I took the yoga. That helped tremendously. Also because as you get older you get tighter, stiffer and we all know that athletic is a perishable skill. When you start to lose it, you know, you don't run as fast, you don't jump as high, you're not as mobile. That's when the flexibility plays a major role. And I think all of those factors is the main reason why I avoided any significant injuries. Cause if you don't have a significant injury and you take care of yourself and there's still an appetite for your services, you can play for a long time.

When I first heard the words you have lung cancer, I was in shock.
Health Discovered Narrator
This week on a special episode of Health Discovered we're taking a closer look at a common form of lung cancer that accounts for 85% of all cases.
Janet Freeman Daly
I'm Janet Freeman Daly and I've been living with non small cell lung cancer since 2011.
Health Discovered Narrator
Non small cell lung cancer. It's a diagnosis that changes everything and yet the conversation around it too often stops at the biology and misses what patients are actually living through every single day.
Janet Freeman Daly
There are some things you used to be able to do that you can't do anymore. It's easy to become depressed when you're dealing with all those losses, so mental health plays a really big role.
Health Discovered Narrator
So what does it really mean to advocate for yourself when you're living with non small cell lung cancer? Listen to health discovered on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Avocados from Mexico, always good. All right, more from Eddie. At the basketball gym. Eddie almost fought a kid this time.
Kevin
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
This wasn't just parents fighting.
Eddie
No, no, this was me. No, this is a big, big deal.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Eddie
So my son came to me, one of my boys, and he was like, hey, dad, somebody. And he had tears in his eyes like, somebody stole my basketball. These two boys in the hallway, they picked me up. Like, I don't know what's going on. So a papa bear stepped up. So I'm like, show me these kids. And we walked out of the hallway. He said, that one right there, dad. So I walk up to the kid, I got puffy chest and everything. Said, hey, where's my ball? So what ball? You know what ball I'm talking about.
Bobby Bones
He got lippy with you. Yes.
Eddie
I go, give me my ball. And he goes, oh, that ball.
Brandon
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yes, sir.
Eddie
Yes, sir. And he goes back and gets the ball. And I was like. And pick on someone your own size.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you hit him with that? Oh, the fear in his eyes.
Eddie
When I said that was cr. He was just like, yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Bobby Bones
What would you have done if he'd have punched you?
Eddie
I didn't think about that because immediately, like, fight back. No, man. This kid was probably 13, maybe 14. I probably just would have held him. You know how you do, like, the. Hold his head while he's trying to, like, punch your gut or something? Yeah, something like that.
Bobby Bones
So you got the ball back?
Eddie
Got the ball.
Bobby Bones
Did the kid learn his lesson?
Eddie
So I kind of saw them. I mean, this was like early in the day. So I saw them later kind of just staring at me like three of them, like, oh, are they gonna jump me in the parking lot?
Kevin
Here we go.
Bobby Bones
Bunch of 13 year olds in your butt.
Eddie
So there was a little bit of fear in me. Like, oh, man, they're like gathering the troops and they're Gonna attack me in the parking lot. But, nah, it never happened. But we're good. We got the ball back. And I told my son, like, stop going to the concession stand or the hallway and messing with other boys. Like, you're alone. If you got five of your friends, do whatever you want, that's fine. But by yourself, dribbling the basketball in the hallway in a different city, we don't even know where we are, who these kids are, it's going to happen, so don't do that.
Bobby Bones
Do you watch UFC this weekend?
Robert Parish
Crazy.
Eddie
UFC was crazy. Macy Barber. Oh, my gosh. She got punched and, dude, I thought she died. I've watched UFC for many years. I've never seen someone like this before. Like, she was out, her eyes were motionless. Her body was not moving for, like, three minutes straight.
Bobby Bones
Did they stop it immediately, or did the person keep pounding and the ref was just trying to decide when she was out?
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
That's always a weird thing where the refs got to make a judgment call, because sometimes they're pounding and they're out or they're not quite out, but it's borderline.
Eddie
These fighters are trained to, like, don't stop until the ref says it's over. Like, because it might not be over. So, yeah, so I think her name was Alexa Grasso. She punches her, knocks her out, but then she gets around her and starts choking her, like. Like a choke hold. And she does it for like, a good, you know, three seconds until the ref's like, she's out. She's out. Get over. And, man, like, I really thought she was dead. Everyone did. My kids were in the kitchen, you know, doing something. They look over, and one of my boys, like, dad, is she okay? I'm like, I really don't know. But she got up eventually.
Kevin
Dang, I'm watching it.
Bobby Bones
Is it bad?
Kevin
Yeah, it's pretty bad. And then, not to make fun of it, but it, you know, when they get up and they start, like, wrestling the ref, because I think it's still going on that she starts, like, taking the refuge. She's so out of it.
Eddie
She grabbed the ref's leg, just kind of almost like she's resting, like Kevin said, wrestling the ref.
Bobby Bones
I saw a funny clip on TikTok. Speaking of kids basketball, there's a sound that people play when people are shooting a basketball, and it's a guy going, that's my man. Have you guys seen this? Yes. Okay, so a kid was doing this to his friend, but he wasn't using the sound that people use. He was doing it himself.
Eddie
Just saying it.
Bobby Bones
Yes. The kid's probably 10 years old and the kid is recording his friend shoot the shot, the free throw. It's like a Saturday 10 year old game.
Eddie
That's where I'm at usually.
Bobby Bones
And he goes, that's my man. And the kid misses. He's 10. And the kid looks over and puts double birds up and goes, shut the. And the ref goes, what? No, I mean, dude,
Eddie
that's awesome. Dude, I laughed out. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. When I was telling you about those AAU fights, like the kid that threw the bird to the man that whistled. He was probably nine years old. To see a nine year old flip a man off is hilarious.
Bobby Bones
That's my man. Dang, we're done. Thank you all for being here. Hit us with that whistle and then we will see you guys later on this week.
Eddie
I got you, man.
Bobby Bones
It's different whistle once we're in this studio. I know because Mike's got the whistle in the other studio, Eddie's got the whistle in this studio and I was
Eddie
a lifeguard for many years. So my whistle is very like, hey, danger, danger in the pool whistle.
Bobby Bones
Hey, nobody blows as naturally as you do.
Brandon
You know what I'm saying?
Bobby Bones
All right, here we go. I will see you guys later on this week. Bye, everybody. Theme song written by Bobby Bones, that's me. And performed by Brandon Ray.
