Bobby takes it back to childhood with rollerblading stories that somehow escalate in the exact way you’d expect—equal parts nostalgic and ridiculous. Plus, after CJ Stroud's 4 interception game on Sunday, is he really just Dak Prescott in a Texans uniform? And Eddie admits his first kiss was to a girl who looked like Joe Montana - and that is why he wanted her to be his first kiss. Some of the guys judge, some don't.

Bobby and Eddie start by revisiting their weird Spurs game experience—where they somehow ended up in the middle of a bunch of kids high-fiving players, and it turned into one of those “how did we get here?” moments that still makes them laugh. Then they get into a real debate about the best athlete they’ve ever seen in person, and what stood out when you’re actually in the building versus watching on T...

Eddie thinks Bobby’s been keeping something from him — and he’s not thrilled about it — so they clear it up on the air, and Bobby explains why he thinks Eddie misunderstood. Then the guys dig into a wild theory floating around: could a nearby powerplant “conspiracy” actually be tied to the 49ers’ injury issues? They break down what’s being claimed, what (if anything) lines up, and whe...

The holidays are over, and the guys are back! Bobby wastes no time: he’s got a very specific airport Chinese food rule that turns into a full-on debate (including the “bring it in Tupperware vs. buy it inside” question) after someone on his flight decided to bring it on the plane. Then it’s a round of health updates—Bobby’s ankle rehab is limiting everything, Kevin’s shoulder situation is n...
