  • Memorable Quote:

    “They have to use cadaver cartilage ... I demanded baby cartilage.” – Bobby [04:28]

3. The Controversial Auction Win: Broadcaster for a Day

[15:08–20:21]

• Bobby won a charity auction to be play-by-play broadcaster for a day at Oral Roberts University. He suspects the prize was really meant for a kid, based on the “cartoon” promotional imagery.
• A debate ensues: Should Bobby use it himself or give it to an aspiring kid broadcaster?

• Notable Moment:

  “If the kid really wanted it, they would have bid more or their parents would have bid more. That’s life.” – Bobby [19:48]

  • Amy adds to keep future ideas “close to the vest” – cautionary tale.

Pregnancy Q&A
