25W: Why Bobby Loves Fernando Mendoza Even More After His Post-game Interview + The Secret Eddie is Keeping from His Wife + Most Googled Athletes of 2025 Dec 08, 2025

Show notes

While everyone else thinks Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza's viral interview was cringe, Bobby is somehow an even bigger fan of him and explains what it is about that moment that stuck with him. Things get a little dicey when Eddie admits he’s keeping a secret from his wife—and tries to justify why he hasn’t told her yet. Then the guys play a game trying to guess the most Googled athletes of 2025… and it does not go well. Guesses are all over the place; logic flies out the window, and somehow, they still feel confident until the real answers show up. It’s loose, honest, and one of those episodes where you really hear how they think when nothing’s scripted.

Show notes

At what age does your body officially hit the “uh oh, this hurts now” tipping point? Bobby kicks things off breaking down why everything from recovery time to random aches seems to change overnight, and how he’s feeling about getting older in real time. Then he’s joined by college football reporter Ross Dellenger to tell the real story behind Lane Kiffin’s dog “Juice” — how a golden retriever became a sideline star, what’s true, what’s myth, and why the whole thing was a great PR stunt from Ole Miss over the years. Finally, former NFL wide receiver Allen Robinson stops by to talk about league life, from locker rooms to playbooks to the very important question: which team actually had the best cafeteria food? He shares his rankings, favorite meals, and behind-the-scenes stories from his time in the NFL.

25W: Arkansas Coaching Chaos Has Bobby Fed-up + Are the Cowboys Actually a Playoff Lock? + Lane Kiffin's Soft Move from the Weekend Dec 01, 2025

Show notes

Bobbys had it with the Arkansas coaching chaos, and he lay out why the nonstop rumors, misreports, and “done deal” whispers have him completely fed up with the football program for the year. The guys also discuss the big question: are the Dallas Cowboys actually a playoff lock, or is everyone getting a little too comfortable with that 10-win number? Bobby breaks down what the rest of the schedule looks like, why the Chiefs might need to win out, and how a lot of money could potentially be lost in the midst of it all. He also hits on Lane Kiffin’s “soft move” from the weekend involving a reporter and an apology, plus some college playoff talk, Diego Pavia’s big statement game, and a few life notes like Eddie taking his kids to the Y, carving turkey, and why Bobby’s foot is absolutely screaming by the end of the show.
