out of it as we do, because youknow what we think.
(01:19):
We crack ourselves up sometimesand other times we're like, uh,
I don't really agree with herand I just want to argue with
her.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
But other times we're
kind of like.
Should we say that, yeah, Idon't know, should we?
Speaker 2 (01:31):

I don't know.
Anyway, I just wanted to sharethat and tell all of our

Um, we we hope to increase thatand please share the
information with your friendsand let them know what you've

We really appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Bobby, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So what's the day
looking like today, bobby, I
mean, did you?
Have a good day.
First of all, did you have agood day today?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
day.
First of all, did you have agood day today?
You know it, we had somethingcalled a snow wall come through
and drop about three to fourinches of snow today.
That's a snow wall, that's alittle bit of flurries as far as
I'm concerned I woke up to thealert and I'm like well, first
of all, a snow wall, okay, andthen I looked outside expecting
to see, you know, some kind ofapocalyptic snow happening.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It sounds like it and
it's normal snow.
Yeah, that's what it soundslike it should be.
So I saw the house on thecameras.
Everybody doesn't know this,but I have about eight cameras
on my property, and so I waslooking for snow after you
mentioned something about itthis morning and I thought, oh
my gosh, it's really going to bebad and it's like.
(02:49):
It's like a teeny, tiny dusting.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
But hey, let's all
get excited about it.
And by this afternoon, you know, I didn't even need to shovel
my sidewalk because it warmed upenough.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
that sidewalk is
shoveled Well that's cool, but
what was the temperature theretoday, do you remember?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I think it was right
around 30 to 35 degrees was the
high now here's what'll blowyour mind.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Now she's in iowa,
I'm down in georgia.
It was 26 here in georgia whatyou know.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That kind of makes me
happy, happy that I'm I'm
miserable in the cold, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So every morning I
walk and I took the dogs out
with me this morning and, I'mnot kidding you, it froze my
face.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So you know, I was
used to that in iowa, but down
here it's like what is going onso anyway, yeah, it's definitely
different, because when I livedin texas I think, we got a
light dusting of snow and itshut everything down for the
whole day yeah, because theydon't have snow removal
equipment right no, why wouldthey?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
why would they invest
in that?
So, uh, hey, you know what Ithink our topic should be today.
What's that?
I've been thinking about this.
I've been thinking about thisfor a while, I know so I want to
know if you had superpowers,what would they be?
(04:15):
Now I'm gonna ask our listenersreal quick though, to just come
off of that with uh off the topof your head what if you had
superpowers?
What would they be?
And I want you to think aboutthat for just a second, because
I know what my superpowers wouldbe.
But, bobby, I'm reallyinterested in what your
(04:38):
superpowers would be, becauseyou're really quite a nerd and
people don't know this, but youfollow.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to saythat.
Is that okay to say oh yeah,I'm proud of it.
So you follow like comic stuffand you go to Comic-Con and you
(04:59):
do all that business and I don'tknow anything about it, but
anyway, I know they havesuperpowers.
So, bobbi, what would yoursuperpowers be if you had
superpowers?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Okay, well, how many
do I get?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Well, if you you can
pick like the main thing, and
then you can kind of say whatgoes along with that, as long as
it doesn't come out of therealm of realism, you know.
Like you can't say, well, Iwant to be invisible, but I also
want to run fast.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
No, hmm, what would
it be I know what mine well I'm
I'm kind of caught between two,okay, and they both have their
pros and cons, but honestly, Ithink my top one would be
invisibility.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Invisibility.
Now I talked to a couple peopleabout this today because I told
them that's what our topic wasgoing to be, and one other
person picked that too.
They were like yeah, then Icould listen in to what other
people say.
Why would you pick invisibility?
Now, I'm assuming some of ourlisteners probably said the same
(06:15):
thing invisibility.
So why would you have pickedinvisibility as your superpower?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, I mean, you
kind of brought it up, I am a
nerd and I've been one since Iwas little, um, and so it's.
I think it's kind of a a nerdintrovert thing where I would be
able to just literallydisappear and people leave me
alone.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Is that all it boils
down to?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Not all of it.
Not all of it.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
So what kind of power
I mean?
So you're invisible, and whatdo you think that that gains you
?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh, the possibilities
are endless.
You know everything from Iwouldn't have to worry about
money to you know I could travelfor free.
Basically, they wouldn't knowI'm there, you know to, yeah,
you know finding out things,being able to get information,
(07:19):
or even something as simple asmy nerdy self.
I'd be able to travel and goget in to see things like the
Louvre and the Hadron Collider,and they wouldn't know I'm there
.
So I could do it.
You know I could see it as longas I wanted.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So that's funny that
you bring up the Hadron Collider
, because we had said that if wewon the lottery we would head
there to see that we would bothlove to see that because I'm a
little nerdy too, but she's,she's super nerd, I'm, I'm kind
of just a normal nerd, but um,so you just think that it would
get you in, you know, I, I, Imean, if you were invisible you
(07:58):
could go to concerts withwithout ever paying, you could
go to the Celine.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Dion concert without
paying $1,700 a ticket or
whatever the heck it is yeah, Imean I could travel, I could be
on an airplane, nobody wouldknow.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
As long as the plane
wasn't full.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well, you know, I
mean, I guess, of course, then
they wouldn't find my body.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
That'd be an
uncomfortable ride for somebody.
So you could go to all kinds ofdiplomatic affairs.
Um, yeah, you know, you couldgo to all kinds of celebrations.
You could go concerts.
You could go to very, veryprivate meetings.
You could go where?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
a bank, a bank.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Walk into a bank and
be like, oh well, that's my
money now well, yeah, but if youwalk out with the money, the
money's not invisible, yougoofball well, do you think that
they're really going to stop abriefcase of money floating away
?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
they're not going to
know what to do.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Oh my goodness, that
doesn't even make sense to me.
Why would you need money anyway?
I mean, well, I, I still got amortgage, just because I'm
invisible doesn't even makesense to me.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Why would you need
money anyway?
I mean, well, I, I still got amortgage.
Just because I'm invisibledoesn't make it.
Why would you need a?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
mortgage.
Go live in some mansionsomewhere.
No one would even know you'rethere why would it that is?
True, wait a minute.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Why would it?
Why would the money not beinvisible?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
because she's the
only thing that's invisible so
she's nude what are you?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
well, are you nude
there, bob well, I think that
you know, if, if I okay, so ifit was like a permanent
invisibility power, like, okay,let's say you know you're
invisible, but it has to bepermanent, yeah, I think if I
wore clothes I'd want theclothes to be seen, because
that's how I could be seen bypeople.
You know, kind of like on likehotel transylvania or something
(09:50):
where you know you see theglasses floating or whatever, um
, but you know, if I had theoption of like whatever I
touched became invisible, thenyou that that would be a
different thing.
It's too kind of.
It's like it's like breakingoff on two timelines in the
comic world.
You know you can either beinvisible and naked or invisible
(10:14):
, and everything that touchesyou is invisible as well.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's kind of a Okay,
well, you get to choose those
powers.
So you could chooseinvisibility with anything that
you touch also.
So what?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
would it be?
Oh yeah, I would definitely dothe.
Anything I touch would beinvisible, oh my gosh, that's
funny.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So that's your
superpower, and what do you
think?
That would be my top one.
So what do you think you couldaccomplish besides going places
with that?
What do you think?
I mean really, what are yougoing to do with that
information?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I mean, you know it
depends on which way you want to
take it.
If you want to take it, youknow, to be more of a superhero,
end of it.
You know you could do lots ofthings of it.
You know you could do lots ofthings.
You could, you know, infiltratecertain areas and literally
(11:11):
remove weapons from bad guys youlike the enemy.
Yeah, yeah, you know.
You could, um, take drugs away.
You could go and save someonewho's kidnapped or being held
for ransom.
You could you know things likethat?
I didn't.
Could you know things like that?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I didn't know one one
naked, invisible person.
That's a lot of work.
Oh wait, you said you weren'tgoing to be naked.
You said that whatever youtouch Okay.
Yeah, could be Okay.
All right, so that's whatyou're sticking with.
Is that your final answer?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, that's my
top one, I mean, my second tier
answer would probably beinvincibility, like you know,
not being able to be hurt, orthings like that, like Deadpool,
where he regrows his arm, oryou know, Deadpool.
(12:07):
Well, no, you wouldn't evenneed to regrow it because it
wouldn't be able to be cut offoh, I see.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
So no damage to you
whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
That's interesting,
that'll be my second, but along
with that I kind of wouldn'twant that, because I don't want
to live forever right I don't,you know, I, I don't want to
outlive my loved ones.
I don't want, you know, be likea vampire, where I lived for
1200 years and you know, I guess, how long they live, cause I
hadn't read that.
Well, I mean, they could liveforever technically, as long as
(12:39):
they don't get a steak to theheart or eat a garlic bread, I
guess.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Okay, All right.
Well, you know Dr Domain's inthe studio with us today.
Should we ask him what his?
superpower would be oh, first ofall, I want you to think about
that, dr domain, because I'mgoing to come back at you.
So my superpower and I'vethought about this before
because I really want this, so Ireally really want this, like
(13:09):
it's going to happen so mysuperpower would be that I would
be able to live and breathe andsee and, you know, just do
everything that I want to dounderwater Without drowning, so
(13:35):
I could go to the sea and thedepths of the sea.
So here's.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
What's interesting is
how deep do you think the
deepest part of the sea is?
Well, I believe it's theMariana Trench.
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
How'd you know that?
How'd you know that?
How'd you know that you nerd?
Oh my gosh, I had to look it uppart.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
They believe they're
not.
They're not a hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I believe the deepest
part is over six thousand feet,
uh, it is actually over sevenmiles, uh, and it is over 36 000
feet 30 35 000 feet like 35 823feet, so that's like.
(14:19):
That's like seven miles, and soI would want my superpower to
be that, no matter what, I couldbreathe underwater, I can see
underwater, I can functionunderwater, I can go to the
depths of the sea, not beaffected and see all the
(14:42):
creatures, see everything that'sunderwater.
I don't know about that one,why?
Here's where I would be helpful.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Okay, let's hear that
, and then I'll tell you why
you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
If somebody says hey,
my Aunt Minnie was driving home
In 1963 and we think that shewent into Lake Ontario, and Is
there a Lake Ontario?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Anyway, I could go in
there and see and breathe
underwater and not be affectedand help find people, or I could
(15:40):
go down to the depths of thesea, where no man has ever gone,
and see what kind of life isdown there, and kind of help
with that whole thing.
Are you sure you want to dothat though?
Because, I mean, you know we'veexplored more of space than we
have of the ocean, and thatterrifies me.
Are you kidding me?
There could be a megalodon downthere, like we don't know
what's down there.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Oh my gosh, you know,
what's funny is, when I was
talking to dr domain about ittoday, he said there could be a
megalodon down there.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Or a kraken.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh my gosh, or a
kraken, or a kraken.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, and it's like,
oh my gosh.
First of all I had to ask himwhat those things were and you
automatically knew what theywere, you freaking nerd.
But no, I would really wantthat, and one of the reasons I
think why is because I do kindof have not really a fear.
I love water.
(16:33):
I'm a Pisces, so I love waterand I have to have water, like I
have a big pond on my propertyright tractors in it every once
in a while, yeah, but I love.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I love that I'm a
Pisces.
Like you're not born with fins.
You realize that doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
No, but I'm a fish
person and I love water.
But I do have this thing aboutdrowning, I think, because when
I watch a movie where somebodygoes underwater for any length
of time, I start to panic.
It's like I get this panicattack and I I have to start
breathing heavy to make sure I'mstill breathing.
(17:11):
Otherwise I'm kind of holdingmy breath with them you would
have that.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
What I'm saying is
you would have that, like same
issue, if you saw somebody inspace that you know was being
suffocated because they didn'thave oxygen right let me think
about that for just a moment.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, that's probably
true.
That is probably true.
However, you know, when itcomes to fire, you know, most
people who die in fires die fromsuffocation, from the smoke
inhalation first.
Right, right, yeah, that may betrue.
That may be true.
I have to think about that onefor a minute, thank you dr bob
(18:01):
yeah okay, now I'm gonna go back, because that is that would
really be my superpower.
Now remember, though, that I cansee clear down there in the
water, right, I can swim, I canbreathe, I can.
I'm not going to get eaten oranything like that, because
(18:24):
that's my superpower.
I'm already protected and allthat business.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
So that's okay.
I thought you were saying youwere being protected from like
the crushing of well, yeah, Imean not from being freaking.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Eaten well I, I would
be protected from being eaten
too.
Hey, I said you could dowhatever you wanted with your
superpowers, okay, so that's allrolled up into mine.
So, yeah, I'm all safe down inthere.
But it would be so cool,wouldn't that be cool, to just
see what's down there, and Ijust think it would be.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I think it would be
cool, but at the same time,
there ain't no way in hell youcould get me down there, because
that's terrifying I.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I don't want to know
what's down there I there's a
reason that it doesn't come tothe surface so if you look at
how our uh, the depth of the seais measured, you know some of
them looked at like the um, youknow, the tallest building in
the world, and then they lookedat uh, what is?
Uh?
I'm at a loss for words rightnow what?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
the mariana trenches?
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
so they were kind of
measuring and so they kind of
listed some different thingsthat you know football fields
and you know the eiffel towerand because in america we
measure by anything except forthe metric system.
That's right that's rightanyway it's probably those
things are minute in comparisonto the depth of the sea.
(19:51):
Yeah, anyway, it's just waycool.
But I want to know maybe youwant to know too, bobby what Dr
Domains would be.
What is it, doc?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I have an idea, but I
want to hear what he has to say
.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Okay, I would like
the superpower to change my
ethnicity.
What?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I could go into all
the best restaurants and they'd
think I'm local and they'd serveme the secret menu and I could
be a spy.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
What.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah, you could do
all kinds of things Okay so he
wants to be.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So he basically wants
to be like a flesh pedestrian,
so where he can like, change hisappearance at any given time.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So, anytime you want
to be, you could be Mexican, or
you could be Chinese, or youcould be African American, or
you could be.
Indian, or you could be.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
I could walk the
streets of New York, you know,
without any issue, depending onwhere I was.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Do you think
ethnicity has something to?
Do with being attacked in NewYork.
Because I think they all got itgoing on that anybody can be
attacked.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
No, I think you're
less likely though.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Really yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
And if you go to a
restaurant In a restaurant.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Well, I'm saying, and
in a restaurant.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
You're not gonna
restaurant, you're not.
Well, I'm saying and in arestaurant you're, you're gonna
get the top shelf stuff you'renot gonna be like, oh yeah
you're not getting.
Yeah, they'll just give youlike oh, that stupid american,
he's getting an order of youknow french fries french fries
and greasy hamburger okay, so,okay.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
So your boyfriend
wants to be a skinwalker and, uh
, you want to go to the ocean.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What is that?
A skinwalker?
What is a skinwalker?
Or something, or what?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
a pedestrian.
You know where they can like,so um some peddling tradition
and a lot of other traditions.
They are animals who shape,shift oh yeah, that's right
that's where the werewolf legendcame from was from skinwalkers
there you go see.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Only a nerd would
know that only a nerd yeah
because I I would have neverknown that.
You knew that too, becauseyou're a I could change my
ethnicity to anything you couldeven be a werewolf.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
I could be invisible.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
That's not an
ethnicity.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Or a mermaid, which
is what you'd want.
What, yeah, I could be a merman, he's a merman I could be a
merman.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Except it's opposite
to where the top half is a fish
and the bottom half is a man.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
where the top half is
a fish and the bottom half is a
man.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Oh, my God, I think
he's very confused.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Either that or he's
on crack or something.
I don't really know what'sgoing on.
Do you think that you go fromethnicity?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I can't't pronounce
it.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, well, I guess
he's schooling me.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
He wants to be able
to change his appearance is what
he wants to be able to do.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Well, it's not just
that, but my accent and
everything, because I wouldn tobe able to do well, it's not
just that, but my accent andeverything, because I wouldn't
be able to pull it off walkingand shining down with this
accent, so you'd be able tospeak the language then too well
, yeah, or at least have theaccent okay, I can do a lot of
different accents no, pleasedon't
Speaker 1 (23:32):
oh god, don't please
don't no, I can.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I can really
Seriously.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
No, this is a
legitimate superpower.
This isn't something fake likewhat you're trying to do.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So what do you think
the worst superpower to have
would be?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh, the worst
superpower.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I have my answer.
You want to hear what my answeris?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, Breaking even
on lottery scratch tickets.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
That would be
terrible.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Well, yeah, I would
hate that, but I do that anyway.
I think that the worstsuperpower that I would never
want is to be able to readpeople's minds.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
that I would never
want is to be able to read
people's minds.
Oh hey, she's onto somethingthere.
I wouldn't want to read theirminds either.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
There is no way you
couldn't pay me enough money in
the world to be able to readpeople's minds.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, I wouldn't want
to do that either.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh no, absolutely not
.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I don't like reading
my own thoughts.
I don't like what's going on inmy own head, let alone what's
going on in somebody else's.
No, I would agree with youthere.
I would say the worst one forme would be to live forever.
You know, like if you had asuperpower where you lived
forever.
I don't want to do that.
I don't want anything to dowith that business.
(24:53):
But wow, yeah, I don't want tohear anybody else's thoughts at
all.
I don't even want to hear myown most of the time what would
be your worst superpower?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
doc oh bobby, what's
your superpower, with or without
clothes?
What was that?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I I picked with
clothes I picked anything that I
would hold or touch wouldbecome invisible.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Okay so if you put
something on, it would become
invisible.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
I was thinking, if
that wasn't the case, I wouldn't
want to be invisible, likesomewhere in the Arctic or
something.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Oh, Because you
wouldn't really be able to pull
it off right.
You know, I never thought aboutthat you could, but you'd just
freeze.
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah, that's a good point,that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
But I mean, or you
could just put clothes on, I
mean it and walk around withjust a parka.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Just because, yeah,
there's a parka walking down the
street with a big old hairy haton them, coon skin cap or
something I don't know.
I don't know.
Well, I think we probably bledthat one dry.
But I hope that everybody elseasks themselves that same
question what superpower?
(25:59):
And go home and ask yoursignificant other, your spouse
or whoever what their superpowerwould be.
I think you'd be shocked atwhat it would be.
But anyway, just something tothink about, and with that I
think we're done for the day.
