Bobby Bones
No.
Eddie
All right, Hitting it. This is a podcast called 25 Whistles. Talking football. And they all wear a whistle yet.
Brandon Ray
Stupid.
Eddie
But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Bobby Bones
25 Whistles.
Eddie
All right, blow it in. The first real football news, though, in a long time. The Cowboys and Eagles will play week one.
Casey
Okay.
Bobby Bones
This is where we get to show them that it's our year.
Eddie
Do you like that that's happening?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I think it's such a selfish thing for me. Like, we get to start the season with my team. Like, that's awesome.
Eddie
Okay, so you just want to see your team in the first game. You're not really considering if you get beat bad, how good you'll be, how.
Gavin
Bad you'll be national television.
Bobby Bones
I can't look at that. That, like, I can't look at how bad we're going to be.
Eddie
I didn't say you're going to be bad.
Bobby Bones
I know.
Eddie
I gave both options.
Bobby Bones
I just can't even think about that because we're probably going to be bad. But I can't go into the season thinking we're going to be bad. I'm going to do it like we do every year. It's going to be our year, baby. We're going to the Super Bowl.
Eddie
You change. You change like crazy, dude.
Bobby Bones
This is the life that we live.
Eddie
No, but yours is weird. You gave up, like, just four weeks ago, and now you're back.
Bobby Bones
I know.
Eddie
It's a bit bipolar.
Bobby Bones
It is a little bit. I think I'm a little crazy. I'm a little crazy because. Yeah, you know, like, you get excited and then you start losing, then we suck, and then you start talking with all your friends how bad we are, man. Being a Cowboys fan sucks, man. And then, like, they win one game, you're like, okay. Then they get George pick.
Eddie
It's like, hey, you weren't like, hey, you were down about it. That's my point.
Bobby Bones
I talked to my mom for a little bit.
Eddie
You don't even remember how upset you were about.
Bobby Bones
I wasn't upset. I wasn't upset. I just wasn't. Like, you called it a sexy pick, and I'm like, we'll see.
Casey
What did your mom say?
Bobby Bones
She's like, this is amazing.
Eddie
There's no sexier pick than a dynamic wide receiver that has a really high ceiling.
Bobby Bones
So my mom says, because sexy.
Eddie
Sexy pick doesn't have to be a great valued pick. Sexy pick is like a big name that has the potential to do big things and great highlight reel. And he has all of that.
Bobby Bones
He does have all that.
Eddie
That. That was the.
Bobby Bones
You just hit me. You hit me at a bat. And I think our group text, whatever. The Cowboys, whatever group text that we're in with all our buddies, they're just losers, you know?
Eddie
And, like, you know why? Because you're all Cowboys fans. I don't want to be in that group.
Bobby Bones
You're in it.
Eddie
I know. I try to get out of like three times. I'm trying to get out. I'm back in it.
Gavin
You ever say anything, Bobby?
Eddie
Yeah, I post, like memes about how the Cowboys and I've. But I've bet like a thousand bucks on win the super bowl every year.
Gavin
Yep.
Bobby Bones
That's going to hit one year, dude.
Eddie
But I'm going to. But I'm going to have lost like 70 grand to win 20 money to break even. Yes.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah, it's going to be fun, dude. Week one, Thursday night game.
Eddie
That's fun. It is fun. Unless you lose and then it's real bad. But I think it's why it could be advantageous to the Cowboys or anyone in that week one game. The Eagles have not had time to actually become the Eagles yet.
Bobby Bones
No, they're been celebrating.
Eddie
No, any team. Week one is not really going to be the mature version of that team. So I think the Eagles. And look who the Eagles lost. Not even player wise, personnel wise beam and coaching. Who do they lose? Eddie? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Jason Kelsey.
Eddie
No, that was last year.
Bobby Bones
So I don't even know where they lost, bro.
Casey
Donovan McNabb. Come on.
Bobby Bones
The offensive coordinator?
Eddie
Yeah. He's now the Saints head coach. Yeah. Kellen Moore.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Kellen Moore. Yeah.
Casey
Yeah, your boy.
Eddie
So they've had a Cowboy, They've had to install a new offense. You want to catch a team like that when they're not fully equipped or fully educated and how equipped they're going to be able to be later.
Bobby Bones
And they think they're like, hot stuff.
Eddie
Well, they are. They just want to.
Bobby Bones
They won the Super Bowl.
Eddie
They're all still hungover. Super Bowl Snoop. They're still hungover. That's a problem. I think it's fun for the Cowboys fans, though.
Bobby Bones
It's awesome.
Eddie
Yeah. You want to play the best teams way, way Way early instead of mid to late.
Bobby Bones
I did also see that we're playing the Chiefs. The schedule's not out yet, but they did mention the teams that we're going to play. The Chiefs are on there, so homer away. That'd be tough.
Gavin
You can't see that part of it.
Bobby Bones
I think it's away.
Eddie
Oh, that sucks.
Casey
That's. That's gonna be bad.
Bobby Bones
I believe it's.
Eddie
Have you seen how Jack Mahomes is right now?
Bobby Bones
It's been working out.
Eddie
I've never seen the guy look so jacked. He. Yeah. All right.
Bobby Bones
Dang it.
Eddie
And not just cowboy related, but he's. They lost. Is an ugly super bowl loss. Yeah. He looks like a freaking machine because he.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no. Chiefs are at home. We got him.
Eddie
You should just looked ups have asked him.
Bobby Bones
We got him.
Casey
Oh, yeah, he's looking good.
Eddie
Yeah, right.
Bobby Bones
Like he's looking at my homes right.
Eddie
Now checking him out. He's ripped.
Casey
Your mom just sent me a picture.
Bobby Bones
Don't talk about my mom.
Casey
I mean, what.
Eddie
There is a Pope Leo. So the people that won the money.
Bobby Bones
On Pope Leo, I mean, the odds were probably crazy.
Eddie
Yeah. At least two betters made more than $50,000 on Robert Francis Prevost, long shot selection. Here's a finance guy, gannon Breslin on TikTok, talking about it. This guy on Polymarket bet $1,000 that the next Pope would be the American Cardinal Robert Provost, and ended up winning $64,000. The odds on that were plus 6400, which is truly insane. The craziest part, not that any of these things are accurate, he wasn't on anyone's board. Most media sites weren't even talking about Robert Provost as a potential candidate in any way. There was also another guy on call sheet who won $50,000 off of a $500 bet on the Pope. Congratulations, boys.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, big win.
Eddie
That's a good win. Yeah. One of my favorite stories about that is when it came out, it was like, the Pope's a Cubs fan. And they're like, no, he ain't. And they found footage of him at a White Sox World Series game.
Bobby Bones
Amazing.
Casey
Wow.
Eddie
Just hanging out.
Bobby Bones
Like, as a fan, that shot was just on him.
Eddie
And when they say, well, he hasn't lived in America in a long time. He lived in Peru. He's full missionary, right? Lived as a missionary forever. Here's why. He's very American. Massive White Sox fan, a die hard Villanova Wildcat basketball fan. Keeps up with the Knicks because of all the Villanova players. That play for the Knicks. Go, baby. If you're a Knicks, a Villanova, and a White Sox fan, you are as American as you could possibly be.
Mike D
Pretty damn American.
Eddie
Yeah. Because you care about college basketball, NBA, and Major League Baseball. You are very American.
Gavin
And outside the Knicks, like, there's no. It's not like the Yankees, Lakers. You know what I mean?
Eddie
Yeah.
Casey
Yeah.
Eddie
But even that he cares about American sports, if he were like, he's also an arsenal and Pele is his favorite. You're like, okay, maybe he's not so American.
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
But the fact that he's so die hard. Into two professional sports and one. We'll call it semi pro college. That's American. Best Pope ever.
Bobby Bones
And so he's probably. I mean, it'd be cool, right, if he goes like the, like, Villanova games during the season.
Eddie
I think he's gonna show up with the fender on.
Gavin
That would be cool.
Bobby Bones
He's got the Pope cane and everything in his hat.
Eddie
I don't think he's throwing out the first pitch or anything.
Casey
No, he's in the Popemobile.
Bobby Bones
Carried out. I don't know, man.
Eddie
That would be awesome.
Gavin
First pitch would be so cool.
Casey
Would he have to be in the glass?
Eddie
He just, like, prays and it throws itself.
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
That's pretty awesome. So for sure American. Yeah. Seems like good. Dude. His brothers are hilarious.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
They've interviewed. I think he has two or three brothers. I know I've seen two of them on the news being interviewed.
Bobby Bones
I saw the clip where it's like, I'm not calling him Pope.
Eddie
Yeah. He's like. Or Leo. He's like. He's like, I didn't call him father.
Bobby Bones
When he was a priest.
Eddie
He's like, he's my brother. He's Bob.
Gavin
That's hilarious.
Eddie
And another one was talking about how they were kids and that the Pope Leo was like, always the good one. And we were always like, ah, one day you're gonna be the Pope. But he only became a cardinal, like, a couple months. A few months before he became the Pope. So. Crazy story.
Bobby Bones
It's amazing.
Eddie
It's a Disney. Disney movie for sure. Or it's a religious. Or just a religious leader.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
A Pope Francis signed baseball is going up for auction. Ow. A baseball sign by the late Pope Francis is going up. The number is way lower than I thought it would be.
Bobby Bones
I mean, it's the Pope.
Eddie
Was it like 100,000, 15,000?
Bobby Bones
What?
Eddie
That's what it says. A baseball signed by the late Pope Francis. Because the thing about buying autos from people who have died is they can't sign anymore and saturate the market.
Bobby Bones
The number's limited already.
Eddie
Yeah, it is what it is. A baseball. I think a baseball by any pope would be very, very valuable. I would think so.
Bobby Bones
Maybe it's just that it's a baseball.
Eddie
But it doesn't matter if it was.
Bobby Bones
Like a candle or something with a cross on it. That make more sense.
Eddie
I think that would be weird to sign that to begin with. Not really a thing you sign, but.
Bobby Bones
Like, why a baseball? Like, it is pretty random.
Eddie
Apparently, a collector in New York spent years trying to get Pope Francis to sign a baseball. It will Fetch More than $15,000. I'm going to say this right now. I got to find it. I'm going to find the site. If it only goes for $15,000, I will be the owner of that ball.
Gavin
Oh, my God.
Eddie
I was going to say, yeah, if it only goes for $15,000, I will buy.
Casey
You could use your Amex points, bro.
Eddie
I will spend $15,000 to buy the ball. There's no way it only goes to $15,000, Mike. If you could find the site, that would be cool. Okay, I'm seeing one that sold in 2021, and it went for 18,000. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay. You're in the same area, then maybe it's there, dude. 15. That's yours.
Eddie
It's got to be higher than that. It's got to be higher than 18 because that's the comp, right? You go, you buy. Sell cards. Buy cards.
Bobby Bones
You think maybe the Pope just signed a bunch of baseballs at one point? There's like a million baseball signed by the Pope.
Gavin
You're no signing.
Eddie
But if that's funny, Pete Rose. I did not gamble on conclave.
Bobby Bones
That's why it's so cheap. There's a bunch of those baseballs, man. Mmp.
Gavin
I went to one of those with Pete.
Eddie
You did?
Gavin
Yeah. I walked by. There's literally nobody there.
Eddie
I've seen those in Vegas and, like, the mall.
Gavin
It was in Vegas. Yeah, it was super sad.
Eddie
Like, the store mall.
Gavin
We walked by, we're like, wait, is that Pete Rose? And he's sitting there waiting for people to come in and sign something. We walked in and he was like, oh, yeah, it costs this much? And we're like, no, I'm good, man. I'll see you later.
Eddie
Oh, Micah sent me the site here.
Bobby Bones
That hurts my heart.
Gavin
I know.
Eddie
Rrauction.com Pope Francis and he literally. Oh, he wrote Francisco.
Bobby Bones
But that.
Eddie
Okay, what is that?
Bobby Bones
That's not his name, is it?
Eddie
Well, Francis in Spanish might be Francisco. I don't know. Okay, you're a Spanish guy.
Bobby Bones
No, no, what I'm saying is that's not his real name. Right. His real name is something else.
Eddie
Yeah, that's. Change your name.
Bobby Bones
I know. It's Pope Francis, not Francisco.
Casey
Okay, so it's at. It's at 10,000.
Eddie
Yeah, 1044. Okay. When does it end? Wednesday.
Bobby Bones
Oh, dude, that's yours. That is your baseball.
Eddie
Okay. Are we Pope Francis? Has it been authenticated? I'm sure it has been. Right.
Bobby Bones
And he just wrote Francisco on it.
Eddie
There's a letter on the second slide.
Bobby Bones
Not even Pope, bro.
Casey
Oh, it's got some people. Nice rosary.
Eddie
I'm gonna log in and bid. I probably won't get it.
Bobby Bones
You can tell your wife no. Just checking.
Eddie
She won't care. No, no, no. Let. I shouldn't say she won't care. She will roast me endlessly. But there'll be no. Don't do that. Gotcha.
Bobby Bones
Not the roast.
Eddie
And not that I'm like, there'll be no, because I said no. That's just. That's not our relationship. And I have money right now, so I always say that, because I might not right now. If I buy enough of these balls, I ain't gonna have much money.
Gavin
Where'd you put it?
Bobby Bones
Oh, the living room.
Eddie
Here? No, no, I have a prayer room.
Casey
Put it in the prayer room. Of course you built it. The prayer room.
Eddie
I take it to church. I'm not even Catholic. I take it to church with me every week.
Bobby Bones
This is so dumb.
Eddie
I would put it in my safety deposit box that I have.
Gavin
Okay.
Eddie
Some other highly valuable stuff in.
Casey
What's the code exactly?
Eddie
Yeah, I got to remember. Hey, Mike, can I ask you a question that I don't remember? It may not have been on the show. Why did I order a ninja outfit? It came to my house.
Bobby Bones
Sounds familiar.
Eddie
I know it came to my house. And I remember you sending me the link. And last week, I was in and out so much because we did IR Country. I was in for, like, a day. Then I'd be back in Dallas for rehearsals on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. I'm doing the show from Dallas. I was exhausted last week, so I don't know why I bought a ninja outfit, man. I'm just gonna start sending you links. I remember talking about something. Can I guess what it was? Yeah, I know you can guess. Okay. So was it on this show?
Casey
No.
Eddie
Okay. I think when I talk about ninjas, it's Only for one reason. It's because I had read that they could stick their balls and remove vulnerabilities by pushing their balls into their body. Right. That's one of the things that. And ninjas newer can't do that. But like, way back in the day.
Bobby Bones
The older ninjas, it was one of.
Eddie
The things they had to remove vulnerabilities. You kick them there.
Bobby Bones
Not vulnerable, but you can tuck them in.
Eddie
So I think wearing a ninja costume, to me would be like showing I have no vulnerabilities, but I don't think I would do that. Why did I have a ninja costume? We got there eventually. You told that whole story, but there was that story about the. The kid who ordered a bunch of lollipops. And then we had a caller who said their son ordered a ninja outfit.
Bobby Bones
Ninja stars, Nunchucks.
Eddie
And then why did I order one, though? Because you said I wanted to dress up like a ninja. Them being able to retract their nuts. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It was that simple, man. I remember now.
Eddie
Okay, well, I have it at the house, and my wife goes, this is like the roasting of my wife. She doesn't go, how much did you spend on the ninja outfit? She said, why is there a ninja outfit here? Did you get the sword too?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. What does it come with?
Eddie
I don't know. I don't. I don't know. I don't. I said. I said to her, it's for a bit, but I didn't know what the bit was. Yeah, because I sent you the ninja outfit and you're like, I need a sword. So I sent you the sword too.
Bobby Bones
Oh, there you go.
Eddie
I don't know if I have the sword or not. Then we talked about whether or not it was appropriate for you to wear it based on. Oh, like.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
Cultural appropriation.
Bobby Bones
Correct. Correct.
Eddie
Are there white ninjas? The Last Samurai. Tom Cruise. Right.
Casey
Three ninjas. There's that. Three ninjas.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
They were really, though.
Eddie
Other white ninja. No. I guess, like, are. First of all, are ninjas even real? Like, that's another question.
Casey
White Power Rangers, Japan.
Gavin
They are, yeah.
Eddie
Okay, so they are. Is that, like a place you get, like, a level you can get to? Because there's, like, Cardinal Pope. Is there, like. I don't know if you can Ninja samurai fill out an application and you put ninja. Yeah.
Casey
Cool.
Bobby Bones
So what are you gonna do with that thing? You're just gonna wear it?
Eddie
I'm bring. Tomorrow. Put it on, I guess.
Casey
Absolutely.
Eddie
Nice.
Gavin
That would be amazing.
Eddie
I don' Remember, I didn't Remember why I bought it?
Bobby Bones
So I wonder, like, if I walked my dog in a ninja outfit, like, what my neighbors would think.
Eddie
Oh, there's Eddie. Well, I think this might have, like, a head cover, too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Ninjas. You can't see their face.
Eddie
I just want you to see my eyes. Okay.
Bobby Bones
So I would, but your glasses would give it away.
Eddie
That's true. That's true. Okay.
Casey
Ninja glass.
Eddie
So the things that I wanted to mention off the top was. Okay, I have one more thing to mention off the top. Is Bill Belichick affecting you in any way, Kevin?
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
Because you're a massive.
Gavin
I know.
Eddie
Patriots fan. The Belichick stuff, he was at his girlfriend's. Is it a recital? Pageant? Pageant, yeah, her beauty pageant. She was competing for Miss Maine. She finished third. But it's become such a distraction. And the report came out first that she was not allowed on the campus in the football facilities. And the report came out that she now was. It seems to me like that first report would have never happened unless there was some smoke to that fire.
Gavin
Yeah, there's something there.
Eddie
But I know you're such a Patriots guy. Is this affecting you now?
Gavin
I hate it. I hate it so much. Just because the Belichick I know is. This is not it at all. And that's a Belichick I love. And this Belichick, I wish he didn't even exist. Like, this whole life that he's living now, it drives me insane. Absolutely insane. Because for 20 years, we had to hear about no distractions, no distractions. And here we are. Every week there's something new. It's never ending at this point. And it makes me upset and it makes me sad all at the same time. As a huge Belichick fan, I could see all that.
Eddie
And the serious part, it makes you sad.
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
Because that's like your guy. It's who gave you championships. It's who you know. A big part of your young adult sportshood is based on Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but he's done. Like, he's done. Who should be upset as North Carolina fans? I mean, everything you're talking about, that guy's done, dude, he's retired. He's chilling.
Eddie
Belichick is still Bill Belichick, the coach of the Patriots. He's the greatest NFL coach of all time. He's still the Patriots super bowl winning head coach.
Gavin
Yeah. And now you don't even think of him as that at this moment. You know, in five years, three years, whatever. From now, we can probably get back to that, I hope. But at this moment, like, if you're a kid that didn't watch the Patriots, say you're, I don't even know, 12, 13 years old, and you don't really remember the Patriots because you're so young. All you know Belichick now is that this guy was some 20 year old girl who's all over the news.
Eddie
I agree.
Gavin
Which is wild to me because that would have never, ever happened in those 20, 20 plus years as an NFL head coach.
Eddie
I agree. Yeah, it sucks. I'm starting to feel bad. I don't know who for, but I'm starting to. It's not just all funny now.
Gavin
No.
Eddie
Well, no, no. For us it has been. For you it got a little not funny earlier, but for us it's been hilarious.
Gavin
Yeah. First it was like, even for me, I was like, oh, he's dating this young 20 year old. Who cares? Like, good for him. You know, he still got it this night. And then now it's just like, dude, yeah, come on. What are we doing?
Eddie
Like, why are you continuing not to date her? But why do you continue? Because you know the distraction it's creating to still allow it to grow as a distraction.
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
Because you go and you're sitting in the first few rows at a recital or whatever.
Bobby Bones
Then a pageant.
Eddie
My bad. Pageant, recital. Yeah. I feel bad for you.
Gavin
Yeah.
Casey
Is that disconnected from social media and everything, or does he just not care?
Bobby Bones
I would think so.
Eddie
From what I have heard and have pretty good sources. My sources now are better than they've ever been.
Gavin
Nice.
Eddie
Yes. He one, does not get on social media. Two, didn't know fully the context of some of the stuff that was on social media and how much traction it was gaining. But he did understand as it gained. And then people did say, hey, the yoga thing has happened. And that got some. That was weird. They were doing airplane like you do for a kid. They're doing yoga on the beach.
Gavin
I don't think I saw that.
Bobby Bones
I didn't see that either.
Eddie
You know how you take somebody like a kid and you put their hands on your hands and you put your legs and you lift them up. Do Superman.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Mike D
You didn't see that?
Gavin
Oh, my God.
Casey
I know.
Eddie
He did that with her on the beach.
Gavin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
She was on top. Or Belichick was on top.
Eddie
No, not him on top. I'd be willing to bet. Rarely is he on top of anything. You know what I'm saying?
Bobby Bones
I see what you're saying.
Gavin
See, I've tried to separate myself so Far from it. That I didn't even know about this pageant thing or whatever until you brought it up. And it's just like, oh, my gosh.
Eddie
Sorry, dude. Bill Self texted me back.
Gavin
What?
Mike D
He did?
Eddie
All right.
Bobby Bones
Speaking of bills, let's go.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Bills.
Eddie
Did I ever say to. I told you. I texted him. You got nothing.
Bobby Bones
You told me off. Offline.
Eddie
Got you. Hey, Bobby, Bill Self here. I totally been tied up with recruiting last couple weeks. Let's connect if possible. What?
Casey
Right.
Bobby Bones
Let's go.
Eddie
I know. I don't know if I. So I haven't.
Gavin
Yeah, we talked about it here.
Bobby Bones
What was the initial text?
Eddie
I. We're one. We only have one from me and one from him. I started on April 10th. They had me back April 28th, and today's May 12th.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
So it's about time for me to call him back now.
Bobby Bones
You guys are doing the 28th?
Eddie
Yeah.
Gavin
Okay.
Eddie
But then I was gone. I hate calling people anyway on the phone. So I did bring it up here, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
Okay, got it.
Bobby Bones
You have to start the. The next text with Sorry, dude, ACMs.
Eddie
You know, I should just call them. But that's weird.
Gavin
I was hanging out with Ronnie Dunn.
Casey
When do you call him?
Bobby Bones

Eddie
So our very own Kevin is leaving us. Kickoff Kevin after this show this will be his last whistles for a couple weeks because he is having a baby. Two babies. Two babies.
Casey
Wait, two?
Eddie
Did you know? Two?
Gavin
I just found out this weekend.
Eddie
So yeah, what's up?
Gavin
Yeah, I'm pumped man. I'm so excited. This is something I've been wanted for pretty much my whole life. I mean I have a great relationship with My dad. So I think that's probably why until this day, we're like best friends. So I've wanted this for a very, very long time. I'm super pumped, super excited. I know it's going to be a lot, but I mean, at the end of the day, it's kind of what life is, and I know I'll be able to handle it. So I'm ready. It's been a long journey the last nine months. I know my wife, Alex, God bless her, she is ready because these last couple of weeks have been rough for her. So we're ready, man. And I'm excited, like I said, and I can't wait to see them for the first time.
Eddie
So I guess my question, I don't want to get too sentimental here, make you cry or anything, but will you be able to watch the Celtics in the hospital room?
Gavin
I'm at it. I got a dilemma here, guys. Oh, yeah. So after game, you know, I watch game one, of course, Game two, and she. She usually hangs out with me. Excuse me for a minute here. She usually hangs out and watches the games or just hangs out in the same room, does whatever. And she. I can watch pretty much any game. She's totally cool with all that. And she knows how big of a fan I am. And game two came along and of course, you know, we all know by now they blew another 20 point lead. And I was so pissed. I was so pissed. I was yelling at the tv. I was, you know, she would try to say something to me and I wouldn't even, like, hear her. And she would try to say it again. I wouldn't hear her again. And then she just got to the point where she just went upstairs to go shower and do whatever because she's like, I don't even want to be in the same room as you right now. And I said, you know, please respect my time right now. This is so frustrating. And then she told me after the game, after they lost, she said, I'm sorry, I love you, but you cannot be in the hospital room while a game is going on watching that game with these babies. I do not want that stress in that room with me and these babies.
Eddie
Well, so I think the solution is to put on your phone.
Casey
Yeah, earpiece.
Bobby Bones
But that's still in the room.
Gavin
It's still in the room.
Eddie
Yeah. Well, she. She can't sit up.
Bobby Bones
She's a little busy.
Gavin
Yeah, I agree.
Eddie
You just can't let it affect you because she saw in you. She doesn't want around her fairly Right after having the babies, because she's obviously going to be hurting. There are also new babies to take care of. Her body's going through a lot. You should be going through a lot. And if you're acting like the way you just were and all that's happening, that's bad. Had you just been. Had you acted like an adult initially, I don't think this would have been an issue.
Gavin
And usually I'm pretty good. But, man, this loss pissed me off.
Eddie
Well, yeah, because it was the second one in a row. Yeah.
Gavin
I haven't been this mad in so long.
Eddie
That was another game.
Bobby Bones
And you promise.
Gavin
And it just so happens that game five lines up on the same day that the babies are coming.
Bobby Bones
Time and everything.
Gavin
Well, no, the. The C sections in the morning and the games at night.
Casey
You guys could move it.
Eddie
Well, here's the game about game five. I would think that if the Celtics win the next one, Game 5 will not be the decider. It's a little easier to watch a game that's not the decider if the Celtics lose to the Knicks. I think you keep that thing away from you because if it's 3:1 and.
Gavin
They lose a series.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. You don't. You don't want that energy.
Bobby Bones
That's the start of their life, man. You don't want that.
Casey
I would.
Eddie
I would say two, two. You can passively watch it on your phone in a strategic location. Because if you go down three two, that's okay. If it's three one, Nicks, I don't think you even. This is the one time in your life there's no game happening. Yeah.
Gavin
That's probably the right thing to do. And it's probably what I will do if they are down.
Eddie
The right way to do is it doesn't matter. Don't watch the game at all. But we're not talking about the right thing. We're just trying to get. Put you in the best situation.
Gavin
I know.
Bobby Bones
You shouldn't watch the game, though.
Gavin
No matter what.
Bobby Bones
I think you can control yourself. Can you not control yourself, dude?
Gavin
I thought I could, man, but if they blow another 20 point lead, I'm probably gonna break stuff in that hospital, man.
Mike D
Keep chucking threes.
Eddie
He knows security.
Gavin
I'm gonna break something in that damn hospital.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Gavin
Don't bring the babies near me.
Eddie
At that moment, the guy knows who he is. Yeah. Hey, the Thunder. I don't know, man. Two, two.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Eddie
That's going seven games, I think, man. Denver's playing tough.
Gavin
Yeah. I Thought Denver was going to win that.
Bobby Bones
Me too.
Eddie
It went down to the very end and if you just saw the score, it ended up being four or five points. But it wasn't that because with one second left is a two point game. And they fouled and Aaron Gordon hit like a bank. Three with three. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I just think about. I want Oklahoma City. My family are all Thunder fans. My father in law does not miss a Thunder game. So I want them to win. However, if they do lose that, he has to wear a woman's thong for a whole week.
Gavin
It's true.
Bobby Bones
This series getting a little too close for my thongs.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
No, it's just a week.
Casey
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Just a week.
Eddie
I do want them to win. I think the winner of that Denver, Oklahoma City series probably wins the West. I don't know about the champ, because Celtics. Problem is Celtics, they got it. We don't even know one of their biggest weapons has an injury. And so, yeah, it's. I just don't think I believe in the Thunder fully because of the Thunder. The same reason I couldn't believe in Houston and NCAA basketball tournament, because they haven't given me a reason to believe yet. Yeah, they're really good, but they've never won. And they're young. So you could convince me Denver wins the title again because they've done it before, you know, with basically the same guys. And Jokic is now the coach too. Yes.
Bobby Bones
What do you think about Indy, though?
Eddie
Awesome.
Casey
Pretty awesome.
Eddie
But here's the thing about Cleveland. They're another one. But. But they have an injury. Yeah. Not Garland. The other girl. Yeah. Donovan Mitchell's hurt. Yeah, he's out.
Gavin
Yeah.
Mike D
Which was weird.
Eddie
Pulled his ankle, like at halftime, like warming up. Yeah.
Gavin
They're done.
Eddie
So Celtics got a knee. The Cavs got an ankle.
Bobby Bones
Warriors have Steph a hamstring.
Gavin
Hamstring. Yeah. It's all about help now.
Eddie
Yeah. So Indiana. That's kind of cool.
Casey
Wild.
Bobby Bones
It's awesome.
Eddie
It's kind of cool because there's like small market, but literally nobody cares about Indiana, which is kind of.
Gavin
Imagine if it's like Indiana.
Eddie
Nobody cares about Cleveland either. To be fair, nobody cares about Cleveland either.
Gavin
But if it's like Indiana versus, I don't even know, Minnesota in the Finals.
Eddie
Yeah, that's a nightmare for the NBA.
Bobby Bones
Small market.
Eddie
But. But at least Anthony Edwards exists.
Gavin
True.
Eddie
Yeah. He's next. He's say, baby Jordan, almost a day. He's next. Man up. As far as like superstardom. So that would be probably not short Term the best idea for the NBA to have happen. But long term, it'd be great for them and great for him. So there would be a benefit to Minnesota making it because that would be the natural evolution of a superstar. With Anthony Edwards the pros of all the teams making it. Denver Jokic is awesome. They've won it before. Jokic now has enough star power for people to know who he is. Last time, maybe not so much, but now. Yes. So Denver. Yes. Oklahoma City is a really cool story because they're so young, but they really. I mean, Shea is not like a household name.
Bobby Bones
Most people can't even pronounce his last name.
Eddie
Yeah. So I think Oklahoma City as good as they are. If we're at that small market, like probably not the best for networks. Let's go stay in the West. Golden State would be awesome for them because of Stephen. Old but superstar.
Bobby Bones
But without Steph, they can't do anything.
Eddie
They did play this last game a lot better. Yeah. Kaminga stepped up. Yeah. That 30 points.
Mike D
Yeah.
Casey
That's crazy.
Eddie
And Jimmy Butler too had like 32 close. Yeah. Kaminga who? And they were running like 10. Guy wrote 10 man rotation like Steve Carr was playing everybody just trying to figure it out. So Golden State, that's a plus. We talked about the Wolves. It'd be Anthony Anderson. Not Anthony Anderson. Edwards. Anthony Anderson hosts freaking Family Feud or something. On the other side, Boston, we know that Tatum. And they've won big market. That's good. The Knicks. That's New York. So that's just awesome. Anyway. Yeah. Just because it's New York. It's market one. That's a big market. Cleveland that nobody wants that and Indianapolis nobody wants. I'm not. I'm not saying me, but I'm saying just generally.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
They like to at least have a team or two where there is some sort of casuals really know and fractional casuals still kind of know a player or two.
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
So anyway, who cares?
Bobby Bones
We still long. Long way to go.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Long way to go in these playoffs.
Gavin
At least they're getting good though.
Eddie
I don't think that the Celtics losing out the game.
Gavin
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Nixon 7.
Gavin
Is that Casey Nixon.
Eddie
They shouldn't have lost the first two.
Gavin
Is the thing that's the most frustrating part is. And I'm not even just because it's your team, Casey. But they are obviously the better team. The Celtics.
Mike D
Yeah.
Gavin
And that makes me so angry when they lose to a worse team two times in a row.
Bobby Bones
Play the games, baby.
Eddie
Jalen Brunson's awesome.
Bobby Bones
Brunson burner.
Gavin
I like Josh Hart. I mean, I hate Josh Hart, but just because he's not on my team. But I like the way he plays.
Eddie
I mean, think about Luca and Brunson on the same backcourt. Yeah. There's not losing one ball. If they had two balls, it'd be real cool.
Gavin
I don't mean to play like that.
Eddie
I do want to. And I saw this on TikTok, and it's not a sport we talk about much, but it's hilarious. Fishing.
Bobby Bones
We never talk about fishing.
Eddie
The most controversial scandal in bass fishing history. And I just was roped in.
Bobby Bones
Come on.
Eddie
Is the story of a guy named Tony Christian. Tony's won multiple tournaments, including the all American for $100,000, but many say he cheated his way to victory. Here's a clip of Jake Bagwell fishing on TikTok. This story is unbelievable, if true. Explaining the story.
I
So since the last time I posted a video about Tony Christian, I've had tons of messages about guys that were fished against him and were involved in this whole deal. And the things that they have told me are unbelievable. So apparently his brother or whoever, one of his kin folks, was a scuba diver and he would scuba dive underneath those docks and he would make sure that it was a dock that was either a floating dock or one that was just barely off of the water so that he could hide the bubbles coming up from, you know, his breather. They would put the fish underneath there and he would come by and if it was a popular dock, he would come by and pitch a certain color worm or a certain color bait in there so that the guy, his brother, whoever, would know that it was his bait. He would take the bait, hook it to a fish, and then jerk on it and he would reel the reel the fish out. He would always use like a, you know, a sherbet colored worm or something that you just didn't see a lot something so the guy would know that it was was him to go to that length to win. Now, he won 100 grand. He cashed that check, $100,000 check. Doing some crazy stuff like this. But if that's true, that is the most absurd thing I have ever heard in my life.
Eddie
Wild, huh?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's crazy.
Eddie
So to use a color, an atypical color in that situation so you would know it was him if his scuba diving cousin or whomever, it is under there, under the dock, and he's under the dock close so we can breathe the bubble because the bubbles do come up but if you're in a place where there are bubbles already. Unbelievable.
Bobby Bones
And, like, how's he holding that fish? Like, what if he lets go? He texts underwater, bro. I accidentally let go of the fish.
Eddie
Well, so when he pulls the fish out, the fish almost looks dead.
Gavin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay. So you see it?
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
I sent you guys last night.
Gavin
Yeah, you sent in. Then I went down a little rabbit hole myself, so I had to check out some more videos to see this guy. And, yeah, there's multiple videos of him pulling it out. And it kind of looks. You can't really tell, but he's also, like. He's waving it around to make it look like it's alive. But you don't think about it in the moment, obviously, when you're watching it and you didn't know, he is, like.
Eddie
Moving it around when he picks it up out of the water.
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
He's like. Because normally done a lot of fish in my life, the fish, it's like, moving, you know, you're trying to get together. Yeah, he's doing the moving. Yeah. And they really are not supposed to be dead when you weigh them in. Like, I've fished in probably four or five fishing tournaments, and so not a ton. But I fish in enough that for the most part, anything I like, the live wells need to be alive whenever you go and you weigh them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
I don't know the rules of these big ones because. Remember those guys? To put the weights in the fish. Yeah.
Casey
That's what I was getting years ago. I was, like, roped into this whole thing, like, watching updates and all that kind of fishing.
Eddie
Or just watching.
Casey
Just watching the scandal of what happened. Like, I. I saw it, like, I guess the day after it happened.
Eddie
And even the white one, Right. The weights.
Casey
Yeah. They.
Eddie
They got whites in the face. Yeah.
Casey
You know, they. They're freaking out all the crowds, like, turning on these guys.
Gavin
Like, arrest them.
Casey
Yeah. And they. They did get arrested because they found stole money.
Eddie
Fraud.
Casey
Yeah. They found proof of them doing it in other tournaments.
Gavin
Yeah.
Casey
And, like, they want a bass boat with, like, a trailer that had to be taken away. You know, big money, crazy stuff.
Eddie
Yeah. Because that's fraud. Like, if you're taking money from something by not being honest about what you did to get the money, that's fraud. You should watch the video. We'll put it up in the clip when he picks the fish up. It is a big fish. It ain't flopping like you think it would normally be flopping. I'm also not saying he did it or didn't do it, I don't know. But I thought, what a crazy story. And usually though, if there's a lot of smoke, there's at least a little fire. Not saying he cheated in this situation, but if a lot of people think this guy cheats a lot, there's probably reason they think he cheats a lot.
Gavin
He's won a lot of money, Tony.
Eddie
But okay, Tom Brady, Deflategate.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he cheated Tom Brady.
Eddie
But anybody who wins all the time, they find reasons to go, well, they must have had an advantage.
Bobby Bones
Well, in this case, he did.
Eddie
Well, we don't know for sure he did. We don't know for sure. We don't know for sure. So let's not. Let's not get me sued, okay?

Eddie
Clorox Sentiva smells like grapefruit, cleans like Clorox and feels like y.
Gavin
Okay, we could be here all day.
Eddie
Try Clorox Scentiva for a trusted clean with with long lasting freshness. Also available in lavender and coconut News as directed Lance McCullers Jr. Received death threats during Astros loss is the headline from espn. And this is about Mostly you guys see the college commercials where it's like don't send your favorite players threats and tell them they suck afterward in their DMs. It's like a commercial. Yeah. So the astros give up 10 runs in the first inning against the Reds. Seven of those runs were courtesy of Astros Starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. After that performance, McCullers said he and his family were the subject of death threats on social media. The Astros confirmed that police in Houston were not notified of the threats. It goes on and on espn, and I don't want to minimize any sort of death threat at all, but if I called the cops every time somebody said they were gonna. They wanted to kill me online in a. In a dm, it'd be. I'd have a death threat a day. I literally. I'd have a death threat at least five a week. But it's not people going, I am going to come to your house at this address and murder you. It's mostly like, if I could I kill you or something like that. There should be, like, a separator of, like, real death threats and social media idiots.
Gavin
Like, tears to it.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah.
Gavin
Tears. The death threats.
Eddie
Yeah. Is it a smile? I don't know. Let me see. Yeah, kind of idiot. Yeah, looks like smile. Social media idiot. So we're not gonna actually. And again, I didn't see his death threats. It could be people saying, we know where you live and we're coming for you.
Gavin
You.
Eddie
That's a death threat. I just don't even call them in anymore. I never have called one in. We had a stalker situation. That. Those were real threats at your house? Yes, multiple. Yes, those are. And that could have been this, too. But when you play bad and a bunch of idiots are just messing you because you play bad. I understand calling the cops, especially if it's your first couple of times. My point is, if he throws enough bad games, he's going to realize he ain't calling the cops every time.
Casey
Right.
Eddie
Because this. You do anything. There are so many idiots out there that just message you, you. So he will be numb to this. This is how you know he's good. Because this is like, his first experience at getting.
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
Crazy fans going idiotic on him, and it's scaring him.
Gavin
It's like game 40 of one.
Eddie
It's like a random season.
Gavin
And he did say.
Casey
He said there have been many, many threats over the years aimed at me, but I think bringing kids into the equation, threatening to find them, or next time they see us in public, they're going to stab my kids to death. Things like that.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's not good.
Eddie
Yeah, that's not great.
Bobby Bones
That's not good.
Casey
It's not good.
Bobby Bones
I'd call the cops on that one. I would. But you're right. The.
Eddie
If they don't have a. If they don't have an avatar, I ain't calling the Cops. And the people that send these messages come from accounts that. By the way, I'd have called the.
Bobby Bones
Cops, too, on that one.
Eddie
Just generally, because I don't know all of it. I think you should always protect yourself. I just want to say that again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My point is, if they don't have an avatar and. Or it's like a. The bird, the egg, or whatever on Twitter, and you go look at their page and they're just repo.
Bobby Bones
Still weird, man. You don't know who that is. It's even worse to me.
Eddie
They don't. If they're that dumb, they're not gonna be able to find you or get to you. But, yes, you should not do that. But my point is, he hasn't been so bad that he's had enough of this to where he starts to numb a little bit. Right. And then that gets unsafe, too, because you're like, well, none of them are real. Then. Only takes one, right? But, yeah, I hate that for him.
Gavin
Yeah, it sucks.
Eddie
And also, just threaten him. Don't threaten his kids.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, exactly.
Eddie
If you're gonna be a social media idiot, just threaten him. You think he sucks. You want to punch him in the face. You don't need to be threatening about. Don't even be specific.
Bobby Bones
The stabbing.
Eddie
That's crazy. The more specific you get, the more, again, you have to think about calling the cops, too. Yeah, that's why I said, like, address. Like, when they get specific, that's when it gets scarier. So, yeah, I'd probably call the cops on the stabbing. The kids. Yeah. But I've had a lot. If I had to call the cops on every death threat or someone said they were going to kill me or wish I was dead, they answered me up every day. We just meet every morning before I went into work. We'd have a meeting every morning.
Bobby Bones
They know you by name.
Gavin
Hey, Bobby, pre show meeting.
Eddie
What do you got today? Well, here's this. No Avatar guy. It looks like the scarecrow from wizard of Oz is his avatar. Okay, so there's that. So let's do this. Here. This is. Oh, our time machine Celebrity crushes. All right, go with that. I had the biggest crush as a kid on Marsha Brady, but we were not. By the time I was a kid, she was already, like, 40 or something. But I had a crush as a kid on Kid Marcia Brady. Does that make sense?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Like, I'd watch the Brady Bunch and I'd go, like. I'd have, like, a time machine crush. That's What? I call it Time Machine Crush on Marcia Brady. Because that show was like 60s and 70s. I wasn't born until the 80s. And now Maureen McCormick. So I made a list of time machine crushes.
Bobby Bones
Oh, interesting.
Eddie
This is good throughout time. They can't be a crush now or when even we were younger because we were too young. We did. They weren't the same age as us.
Bobby Bones
Well, can you do a crush like you see them now when they were younger and you're like, man, if I were that age, I would have a crush on them.
Eddie
I think that's kind of a time machine crush. That works.
Bobby Bones
Okay, good.
Eddie
Yeah. Why it came to mind was Marsha Brady. Because I would watch the show on Nick and I all the time and be like, man, I'd like to go out on a date with her. And I know what that means. I was like 11.
Gavin
You just knew there was something inside of you.
Eddie
Yeah, but I couldn't. She was my age on that show at the time, but she was like a real. So I have three time machine Crushes. One is Marcia Brady. Two was. If I were to go back even further, she has dark hair, Eddie. You would know. It's black and white movies.
Bobby Bones
She's on my list, too.
Eddie
Who is it?
Bobby Bones
Aubrey Hepburn?
Eddie
Yeah.
Gavin
Nice.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Audrey Hepburn was so freaking hot.
Eddie
Audrey Hepburn? Yeah. She's my number two on my list.
Gavin
All right, Eddie, calm down.
Bobby Bones
She's number two on my list, too.
Eddie
She is.
Bobby Bones
Did you see her age, though? Did you look up her age?
Eddie
Well, she died in 1993.
Bobby Bones
Correct. If she was still alive, though, I asked AI.
Eddie
Oh, no. How old would she be?
Bobby Bones
Audrey hepburn would be 96 years old today and probably wouldn't look the same.
Casey
Probably.
Eddie
Probably didn't look the same when? In 1992. Before she died in 93. But yeah, I think a time machine crush. Audrey Hepburn. So Marcia Brady, not Marie McCormick. Because Maureen McCormick.
Gavin
What is Maureen McCormick?
Eddie
That's Marsha Brady. That's the actress.
Gavin
That's her actual name.
Eddie
Yeah.
Gavin
Oh. Never even knew that. And that's a name you would remember.
Eddie
But Maureen McCormick was always older than me, so that didn't count. Marcia Brady, though, is the time Machine Crush. Audrey Hepburn is never a character. It was. She was just hot back in, like, she's super hot. Born in 1929 in Belgium. And the other one.
Casey
Yeah.
Eddie
Brandon's looking around.
Casey
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
The other one that I have. And it's only because I went down a rabbit hole and I knew the song. But she got big in the 80s and she ended up marrying Paul Simon. I know Eddie will know this, but if I. Brandon might know this too, because Brandon is.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I bet he does.
Eddie
Producer, songwriter, musician. If I sang, I'm not aware of too many things. I know what I know, if you know what I mean. Do ya? How about philosophy is a type of a cereal box. Religion is a smile on a dog.
Casey
I have no idea.
Eddie
I'm not. You ever heard this song?
Casey
No.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Gavin
Yeah. You have? If I've heard it, you've definitely heard it.
Eddie
I had no idea what that. Oh, that's the chorus. Okay. What I am is what I am. If you. What you are, do you know it is.
Casey
I don't know who it is, so.
Eddie
It's. It's Edie Brickell.
Casey
Okay.
Eddie
Now, she ended up marrying Paul Simon. They were way ahead of their time, which is like 1988 when that happened. But that's a. That's probably the end of what can be considered a time machine crush. Because anything about 90. I'm 10, and I'm like, why is that thing getting bigger? You know what I mean? Even though you don't understand. Yeah, yeah. Look.
Casey
I'm looking at her.
Eddie
Look up a young Edie Brickell. She's old. She's probably in her 70s.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And she's still married to Paul Simon.
Casey
Oh, okay.
Eddie
So if you look. And I could.
Gavin
Okay. I just keep getting Zach. Edie.
Eddie
Oh, no. Hey. A little different.
Gavin
A little bit.
Bobby Bones
That's on your list.
Casey
Yeah, I see.
Eddie
Like, I'll send you a video as.
Casey
She kind of looks like Janis Joplin there.
Eddie
Kind of. If Janis Joplin, like, brushed her teeth and put on deodorant.
Gavin
Right.
Eddie
I know.
Casey
I don't want to say anything better than Janis Joplin.
Bobby Bones
No armpit hair.
Casey
Okay.
Eddie
I'll send you this video. This is, like, so this. Yeah, that would be my three.
Bobby Bones
Did you know that she was hot when you were younger?
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
Just now that you know what she looked like then.
Eddie
I like Paul Simon.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but not anymore. Dude, she's your crush.
Eddie
No, Time machine Crush. She's, like, 70, dude.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yes, I know. She's much older.
Eddie
1988. Edie Raquel. When I was in first grade, second grade. I didn't even know what she looked like. Brandon, I'll send you this video to Kevin.
Casey
Okay.
Eddie
Just so you can have a better picture, better view. And then I'll do Casey. Oh, wrong Casey. He's gonna be like, what the boom sent. So Those are my three. I would go Marsha Brady. Not Marie McCormick, Audrey Hepburn, Edie Brickell. Time Machine Crushes Pretty good. Did not exist at the same time. Eddie, who are your three?
Bobby Bones
My first one would be Marilyn Monroe. Like, and this is easy to me because I watch old movies, and now that I'm older and I look at these old. These old movies, I'm like, gosh, she was smoking hot. Like, back then when they were in their 20s or their 30s, they like, they were it.
Eddie
Right?
Bobby Bones
Marilyn Monroe to me is like, in those old movies. Like, really pretty hot. Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. I was never a big Maryland guy.
Gavin
Me neither.
Bobby Bones
And if she. She's dead too.
Eddie
I could understand why people were then.
Gavin
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. But I. I guess. Yeah. Really? Really. You were real.
Bobby Bones
Molded into it for you.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. Hold on. Give me a second. Give me a second.
Eddie
Marilyn Monroe's real name.
Bobby Bones
Oh, don't.
Eddie
Stage name, obviously.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Gosh, it's. It's like three names, right? Like Thelma Lynn or something? Like.
Casey
Yeah, it's Thelma Lin.
Bobby Bones
It's not Thelma Lynn, but it's something like that. Give me. Give me a hint.
Eddie
You probably know it from Elton John. Whenever she died. And he did Candle in the Wind.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I thought that was Princess Die.
Eddie
The original was about Marilyn Monroe. Okay, redid it for Princess Die.
Bobby Bones
Gosh, what is her real name? Give me a hand. Give me a hand. On just in. Norma. Norma Jean. Norma Jean Riley. Gonna marry me.
Eddie
Diamond Rio.
Bobby Bones
No, Norma Jean Monroe.
Eddie
Mortensen Morton.
Bobby Bones
We don't agree.
Eddie
Without Mortensen. You gotta get off Mortensen. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Marilyn Monroe. Strong. Number one.
Bobby Bones
She was still alive, she'd be 98. So I like these older women.
Eddie
Yeah, this time machine, dude, she's almost 100. Time machine. All right, go ahead.
Bobby Bones
And then Audrey Hepburn was my number two. Just like you. Super hot. And then this is a weird one. And I have this conversation with my father in law because he was young, when she was young. It's just like, you're out of your mind. But when I watch Barbra Streisand, like, these days.
Eddie
Wow, what a poll.
Bobby Bones
She's hot to me and, like, I'm attracted to her.
Eddie
A young Barbra Streisand.
Casey
What's up, doc? Did you ever see that?
Bobby Bones
No.
Casey
I don't know why we had it as a kid, but I always thought she was beautiful.
Eddie
See? Was it a role?
Bobby Bones
I don't know, man, because she does have a bigger nose and I know. It's like, you look at that.
Eddie
You look her up young. I don't. I can't picture her young, young. Barbara. I thought maybe you'd go to, like, Willie Nelson or something.
Bobby Bones

Gavin
Yes, nice.
Eddie
I haven't played at all in like Two weeks I've been on the road and it rained today, so I don't know if I can get any work in today, but I'm gonna play. I have no idea how good I am. Meaning against people who actually play. Right. How many people in the tournament? I don't know. Okay. I signed up like a month and a half ago because I probably wouldn't have signed up knowing that I'm coming right off of being on the road that much, not being able to play, and then who knew it was gonna rain? Yeah. That's why I don't sign up. Because I'm looking at the almanac, but I have no idea. I have no idea how good I am.
Bobby Bones
We're gonna need to stream this.
Eddie
So I play. It could be a two day tournament.
Bobby Bones
Oh, nice.
Eddie
So Saturday, and if. Because I'm playing in two different categories, I'm playing singles, which was. I just signed up to do that. And then I have a buddy who's like, let's just play doubles. So we're gonna do both.
Bobby Bones
Don't forget to pack your water and a lunch, just in case, please.
Gavin
Oranges.
Bobby Bones
Orange slices.
Gavin
Yep.
Eddie
That's a great point. Dang. I can write that down right now.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we do tournaments, man, every weekend.
Casey
So you got to be aware of your dancer's hip, too.
Eddie
That's true. I've been fighting that one for years.
Casey
Yeah.
Eddie
I'm also keeping considering, like, do I just stop wearing my favorite baseball team, Chicago Cubs and stuff now?
Gavin
Why?
Eddie
How come?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, why would you do that?
Eddie
We reached out to do too much access and they were like, nah, we'll pass.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Eddie
And so now it's like, oh, man.
Bobby Bones
Did they say like that?
Eddie
I don't know. Kevin said they passed.
Bobby Bones
Did they say maybe it will pass?
Gavin
They said, we've got a lot going on this year. Sorry, we're going to have to pass on this year.
Eddie
This year. So it's like, do I take it personally?
Bobby Bones
Another boycott, another curse? No, you're not gonna curse them.
Eddie
They've had a curse for 100 years.
Bobby Bones
Billy Goat.
Gavin
They're doing well, though.
Eddie
Yeah, well, they're like five over. Five games over. Yeah.
Gavin
Everyone's doing. No one's like going crazy anymore.
Eddie
So my thoughts are. Because I are a. It's hard because my whole life I've been a Cubs fan.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
But I do take that, that stuff personally because I think you got a lot going on. But when like a diehard fan of yours wants to come up and spend 45 minutes, like highlighting your team yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Special team.
Eddie
Yeah. Well, let's also. It doesn't matter. So it's either A, just go ahead and step. Step back from my fandom, or B, I can go different routes to try to get us there. But then. Am I like.
Bobby Bones
You're begging.
Eddie
Yeah. Am I, like, begging? I want to be bigger.
Bobby Bones
And if you do stop wearing their stuff. That could hurt their finances.
Eddie
Like, less people will buy it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
And think about that. Become a white science fan with the Pope, dude.
Bobby Bones
You know what I mean?
Eddie
A lot of good publicity, man. They'll be really. Don't do that. I should get on the big show tomorrow and threaten it. Do it because we're on Chicago.
Bobby Bones
Do it. Let them hear you.
Eddie
I think and Casey should get credit for the. For planting that seed in my head. Yeah. Bring it on. Good or bad? We're going to make sure.
Bobby Bones
We'll see.
Gavin
Casey, don't forget, you're the one that started this tbd.
Casey
Bobby Bones get shut down in Chicago.
Eddie
I would just move to the white. You got the Pope on your side, dude. Yeah. I would just be like, me and Bob. Bob and Bobby.
Gavin
Think we could do too much access with the Pope with.
Eddie
I was saying the White. I thought you were going to say the White Sox.
Gavin
Oh, that would be good, too.
Bobby Bones
The Pope's doing batting practice.
Mike D
The Vatican bad.
Casey
Cool.
Eddie
Okay. Yeah, that's it. Thank you, guys. Kevin, good luck.
Gavin
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Good luck, Kevin.
Eddie
If they win game two, you should watch game five passively. If they lose, wait, I don't think four. Thank you. If they win their second game. That's what I meant to say. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Then you're good.
Gavin
Yeah. They won tonight.
Eddie
Yes, they went tonight. I think you should passively keep the game on, but control yourself. But if they lose, you can't watch it down 13 where you could lose the Series because you may also lose a wife and babies the day if.
Bobby Bones
You lose your cool, your whole family, basically.
Eddie
Yeah. And that'd be the quickest.
Gavin
All right.
Eddie
That'd be the quickest. Like, move out.
Casey
Yeah.
Eddie
Then she didn't move back into the house. She just moves somewhere else with them.
Gavin
Take some babies and runs.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool. We'll see you guys later on this week. And, Kevin, good luck. We're losing Kevin for a couple weeks. We lost Reed. Rest in peace, Reed.
Bobby Bones
Oh, he's coming back, though. He said, I got his picture up.
Eddie
Over here beside me. I talked to him yesterday and I said, what's been going on, man? He goes, well, well, in St. Louis, the mover showed up and one of them wouldn't get off TikTok. So I had to move it all myself with one of the other movers. And not only that, it was touch free and I was touching.
Bobby Bones
What?
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
I heard that.
Eddie
He tell you that?
Casey
He told me that. Yeah.
Eddie
He said it's touch free and set up free. And I had touch and set it up because one of them wouldn't get off TikTok.
Bobby Bones
TikTok. Hey. And they only do that in St. Louis.
Eddie
That sucks. So, yeah, recipes, Reed. And that's it. Eddie, blow the whistle.
Bobby Bones
Here we go.

The Bobby Bones Show – Episode 25W Summary
Release Date: May 12, 2025
In this engaging episode of The Bobby Bones Show, host Bobby Bones delves into three main topics: his waning fandom for the Chicago Cubs, co-host Kickoff Kevin's struggle to balance his newfound fatherhood with his love for the Celtics, and a nostalgic segment on "Time Machine Celebrity Crushes." The conversation is lively, filled with humor, personal anecdotes, and insightful discussions that resonate with both sports enthusiasts and casual listeners alike.
Bobby opens the episode by expressing his frustration with the Chicago Cubs, a sentiment that sparks a spirited debate among the hosts.
Bobby Bones [03:03]: "This is where we get to show them that it's our year."
Bobby shares his initial excitement about starting the season with his favorite team, hoping to break their longstanding curse.
Eddie [03:10]: "I just can't think about that because we're probably going to be bad. But I can't go into the season thinking we're going to be bad. I'm going to do it like we do every year. It's going to be our year, baby. We're going to the Super Bowl."
Eddie highlights the rollercoaster of emotions that come with being a devoted fan, oscillating between hope and despair based on the team's performance.
Bobby Bones [03:41]: "It's awesome."
Despite the challenges, Bobby remains optimistic, emphasizing the love-hate relationship that many fans experience.
Eddie [06:04]: "They're all still hungover. Super Bowl Snoop. They're still hungover. That's a problem."
The conversation touches upon past performances and decisions that have left fans disillusioned, contributing to Bobby's decision to distance himself.
Bobby Bones [06:33]: "I did also see that we're playing the Chiefs. The schedule's not out yet, but they did mention the teams that we're going to play. The Chiefs are on there, so homer away. That'd be tough."
Scheduling against strong teams like the Chiefs adds to the skepticism about the Cubs' chances, reinforcing Bobby's dwindling fandom.
The episode takes a heartfelt turn as co-host Kevin shares his personal life update, balancing the joys and challenges of welcoming two newborns with his passion for basketball.
Gavin [26:05]: "I'm pumped man. I'm so excited. This is something I've been wanting for pretty much my whole life... I know it'll be a lot, but I know I'll be able to handle it."
Gavin expresses his excitement and readiness to embrace fatherhood, underscoring the importance of family.
Eddie [26:42]: "So I think the solution is to put on your phone."
Eddie offers practical advice on how Kevin can manage watching Celtics games without letting it affect his family time, suggesting passive engagement through mobile devices.
Gavin [26:50]: "I can watch pretty much any game. She's totally cool with all that... but game two came along and... she just got to the point where she just went upstairs to go shower and do whatever because she's like, I don't even want to be in the same room as you right now."
Kevin candidly discusses the tension that arises when his enthusiasm for the Celtics conflicts with his family's need for a peaceful environment, revealing the emotional strain it creates.
Eddie [28:08]: "You just can't let it affect you because she saw in you. She doesn't want... these babies."
Eddie emphasizes the importance of prioritizing family well-being over sports, advocating for self-control and emotional regulation.
Gavin [28:46]: "They lose their parts? Then you're good."
The dialogue explores coping mechanisms for potential losses, highlighting the necessity of maintaining composure to protect family harmony.
Injecting a dose of nostalgia and light-hearted fun, the hosts reminisce about their celebrity crushes from different eras, affectionately termed "Time Machine Crushes."
Eddie [45:30]: "I had the biggest crush as a kid on Marsha Brady... I'd have a crush as a kid on Kid Marcia Brady. Because that show was like 60s and 70s. I wasn't born until the 80s."
Eddie fondly recalls his admiration for Marcia Brady, blending childhood memories with pop culture references.
Bobby Bones [50:32]: "My first one would be Marilyn Monroe... Like, back then when they were in their 20s or their 30s, they like, really pretty hot."
Bobby shares his timeless admiration for Marilyn Monroe, reflecting on her enduring legacy as a cultural icon.
Gavin [53:58]: "Kevin, Three for me is Phoebe Cates."
Gavin introduces his own crush, Phoebe Cates, adding diversity to the list and showcasing the varied interests among the hosts.
Eddie [56:57]: "Does Dolly Parton count? Yeah, a plus. Great one."
Eddie includes Dolly Parton in his list, highlighting her multifaceted persona beyond just her musical talent.
Bobby Bones [57:00]: "Queen Victoria... She's almost 100."
The hosts humorously extend their crushes into historical figures, exploring the hypothetical scenario of admiring personalities from different timelines.
As the episode wraps up, the hosts bid farewell to Kevin, who is taking a hiatus to focus on his growing family. They offer heartfelt good luck and reflect on the importance of balancing personal life with passions.
Eddie [63:16]: "We'll see you guys later this week. And, Kevin, good luck."
A warm send-off to Kevin, emphasizing the show's supportive community.
Bobby Bones [64:47]: "Good luck, Kevin."
Bobby's simple yet sincere farewell underlines the camaraderie among the hosts.
