None of our listeners have wait in via the talkback button on the red microphone button on the iHeartRadio app. There feelings on. Toby Keith sent some funny messages in as well.

Most of his books are kind of regional. But this one is about interspecies animal cage fighting that happened around the year nineteen hundred at the border of Texas and Mexico. And he's an expert on the subject, probably the world's leading expert on the subject. He'll join us a nine
o'clock. We have a big super Bowl week planned. Some stuff coming later in the week for you that you're not gonna want to miss. Are we doing our is it Friday? Are we planning to do our product for sale? Or now Thursday? Right? Commercial for Thursdays commercials? Yeah, Friday? Are we We haven't really talked about figure out Thursday. Some unearthed commercials are gonna be angering the super Bowl that we were gonna play for you.
That are shocking. I didn't know they were such local products. And we're Hey, we're eight days away from Valentine's Day, so good Lord be ready, you know, save up on your account a little bit to purchase a downbeat singing a box of chocolate. We'll have that coming out real quick, I do. There's a special thing happening at when chalk Taw on Friday. I want to mention that real quick, so I don't forget that because the Ben Skin Show and the Speakeasier doing their show Friday Atta at chalk Taw.
I know some of us are gonna make it out there. And if you go and use the promo code freak rate, you can get a room for just ninety nine dollars of right chalk Taw so freak rate all caps ninety nine dollars room while they last there, go party if you haven't been up there. Man, last time we went, I had a blast. Yeah, it's gonna be right, And it's like the rooms are gorgeous. You think you're I don't know in Vegas. Come play twenty nine bucks, Come play
some white jack with me and Mikey. Yeah, all right, show how it's done. And super Bowl week is upon us here, Mike and Yeah, I think it's a gambling week. Speaking of gambling, I'm a poor gambler. I realized just strictly on losses. But it's still fun and I still enjoy it. And it's fun this week because it's wild at what you can bet on Now, I will say one of the go tos here. See some of these bets you can make on the Super Bowl. You can
game the system, and we have in years past. I'm gonna try it again because we have people in the media that we know, you know, people who are there friends. And one example would be the length of the national anthem. That's always a popular one, right, And I've had people there for the rehearsal or the stuffwatch, you know, like a day or maybe two days before and you know for a fact within one second how long
the length of the national anthem is going to be. The problem is a lot of the online sites only let you bet like twenty five bucks on this stuff. But you can kind of work your way and find find places that will let you bet a little more. And if you're in Vegas, you can go nuts. But that one is up again, and it's a minute
twenty six seconds for Reba McIntyre's national anthem. Another way to do it, if you don't hear rehearsal, is to listen to someone of legendary state US who's done the national anthem many many times, including the nineteen ninety seven World Series. She did it in twenty seventeen as well at a massive sporting event, and you can hear Reba McIntyre singing versions of the national anthem, and apparently all of them are over. The eighty six seconds have been allotted for
the Super Bowl National anthem this year. Okay, I've spent a good part of the last fifteen years going to or watching the Super Bowl with you, Mike, the Super Bowl Party, and it's one of the most exciting things of the entire night is the opening gamble on the national anthem. Yeah, with fist pumping and high fives, especially when we already kind of know the answer. Drag it out, drag it out down, you know, just freaking out and all of us with our phones out and the stop watches to
coordinate times like make sure you get it right. But yeah, she's done this so much times, it's always gone over. Two seasons ago she did it a duet with Mickey Geiton, okay, at a minute thirty five and again one twenty six is the total set for this year? Did Mickey guiton? It was ninety five seconds? Yeah, okay. And they say country singers tend to draw things out, so all signs are pointing over one twenty six. That would be one of the shorter uh national anthems in the last
many years at the at the super Bowl. So I don't know, but again, no specific intel on that just yet. Take the over for now, but we will, we will keep keep our ears listening to all that. There's also there's fun weird little bets like first word Usher will use in the halftime show? Does it have options? I don't have odds for this one, but yes I have I have a few options. The first word. Okay, Hello, I got one? What? Yeah? Okay yo, okay yo. I was thinking, you know, it's kind of an
ice breaker. Yo Yo and yeah are both on there? What about good Day? That woul probably onto the field? Okay, I think because good Day is not on there. But one of the heavy favorites is Vegas. Oh a really good one. Oh man? What about Bach? It's not on the list I'm looking at is Bach? I don't know if that was popular in Usher's lexicon. How like, how are y'all doing tonight? And how okay? That's better than biachya? What about make? What about sup?
All? Some of them decent options? Sup sup? Vegas up? Vegas? It could be in play. You can bet on Hulo show during the national anthing, bet on if there'll be any screw up during the national anthem, any words wrong, omitting a word. I don't think Reeba is a candidate for that. I hope she goes full Carl Lewis just for our sakes. But Reba's approa you mean you're not done? You bet in the color of Reba's hat, how do we know's wear a hat? Red?
Red is the favorite fall by Brown and Black but as you might guess, most of the insane prop bets associated with this particular super Bowl are Taylor Swift related, and they start before she even gets there. You can bet on if she will mention Travis Kelcey or the Chiefs at her Tokyo show, which is the night before or two nights before. I guess I would say no, Yeah, I don't know. Why would she do that in Tokyo?
What do they care about the super Bowl? Just calculated dude, I would say yes to that, and yes, as an underdog, no would be a favorite. But I mean everyone, I mean, her super fans know that she's doing this show and zipping to the airport and flying across planet Earth back to Vegas for that. I mean, I've never even heard of her mentioning his name in an interview or a concert or anything. She didn't say
a word about him at the Grammys. She's changed one of her songs live she was doing so I think it's Karma or something like Karma is my boyfriend who plays for the Chiefs. Yeah, yeah, that's when he went to why would she do that in Tokyo? I mean, what do they care about the super Bowl? This calculated dude. I would say yes to that,
and yes, as an underdog, no would be a favorite. But I mean everyone, I mean her super fans know that she's doing this show and zipping to the airport and flying across planet Earth back to Vegas for that. I mean, I've never even heard of her mentioning his name in an inner or a concert or anything. She didn't say a word about him at the Grammys. She's changed one of her songs live she was doing so, I think it's Karma or something like Karma is my boyfriend who plays for the
Chiefs. Yeah, Brazil, Yeah, that's when he went to I think, do you think there's an opportunity for her to do like a cool mini doc of that concert in Tokyo, plane travel, arrive in Vegas. I'm sure there are people around her archiving her every public move, do you think? So? Yeah, I don't know where to look, and I don't seek it out, but I just I would probably I would watch that of her getting here and then a mini doc one handheld in the booth, it
probably in the suite. Yeah, you could start it. So that's Tuesday Friday, probably Tuesday Thursday. I don't know if it's technically Friday or Saturday night. I guess her show is Saturday night there, but yeah, all the time. But I would watch that, like even if you started with her show there, finishing her show, and just the chaos of getting to the airport, something on the flight, arriving Vegas, getting to the game, and then especially if they win on the field, and then what's gonna
happen if they lose? If they I mean, I bet that this is already being done, and I bet that if the Chiefs lose, will never see the light of day, right, Yeah, yeah, of course, right, it's all yeah, you're right. She's got to have someone documenting everything. I mean, even like Billie Eilish, before she was even famous, had documented almost every part of their process. Yeah, they'll go. If they lose, they'll send that DVD along with all of the T shirts
that say Kansas City Chiefs super Bowl Champions in twenty twenty four. They'll send them all to whatever impoverished nation needs needs clothing and entertainment. Let's send them to Singapore in March, where she plays six nights in She's four shows in Japan done for the month, six shows in Singapore done for march, back at it and go into France and may you can bet on if CBS will show any of her travel from Japan. Yeah, they'll have it anything.
No, I think they'll have a plane at the airport and no, sure we're getting off the Yeah, okay, I don't know what these are. Always kick to whistle determine it because if it's not, if it's only kicked to whistle, I don't think they won't show it. Okay. But in the five hour pregame show, that's a different story. First person, she is shown next to Taylor Swift in the in the suite at the super Bowl. I'm gonna say, Pat Mahomes with the Coors light in his hand.
He's not an option. Brittany is the favorite, and then Mama Kelsey. Jason Kelcey is on there. A bunch of people I've never heard, you know, I'll read these just about Dad Kelsey, who you hardly see. Okay, he is on there, Jason Kelsey, Scott Swift brother, Yes, Andrea Finley, uh anyway, Abigail Anderson Barrard here, Kara Della Vignet, the actress with the with the eyebrows, that's her friend. And then Ed Kelsey at plus nine hundred and that's the dad. The first person she
shown next to Ed Kelsey. He's going on a wing, Hey, Taylor. Then Ggi hadid okay, yeah, is plus one thousand model Gallia. And then the long shot at thirty three to one, but listed Taylor Swift shown next to Mike Tyson. Okay, what Gigi hadid is the you can get it at thirty three to one. That's said girls Dton, Bradley Cooper. I believe okay. I figured Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively would be on there. Maybe you can bet on what color top she's wearing red obviously the
heavy favorite, even the clothes she's wearing getting off the plane. If she'll make get to the stadium for kickoff, which is everyone's saying yes, will they be seen shown kissing on that date on the day of the Super Bowl? Her lipstick color you can bet on. I can't believe here's a Cavio one that you'll love at plus one thousand, so what ten to one? Taylor Swift to be shown wearing a foam finger in a game a double down, a foam finger on top of a foam finger. Okay, I don't
think that. What if she gets off the plane and she's wearing a big costume and it's like the dairy queen blizzard, Like, just don't think her faces through it. So that's one hundred or eleven hundred to one thousand that you'll see you're wearing a foam finger kind of like this one. This is pretty much or minus one hundred, so it's almost even money. Will you see her double high five? Someone in the box of two hands, two handed the high ten? A double high five? Is it a double high
five or is it a high ten? I do not know. I still think she's getting information relayed to her that good things have had been on the football field. What do you mean, Oh, like so she knows when to be excited? Yeah, not a moron. Didn't we get like a scouting Didn't she get like a scouting report on the general knowledge of football? When they started dating, they left notes? Yeah, they were left in the press box that. Okay, Well, don't indict her for that.
I mean she might have got some rules. No, I'm saying the intricacies of the sport or specifics of things that happened at Arrowhead and Chiefs games like when and why these chants happened? I think it was the Ravens game the championship. I think where Kelsey caught the first touchdown pass and it goes up to the booth, of course, and she's kind of going like what like she's kind of asking, and she might just been asking did he get his
feet in? And maybe we didn't complete the process of a catch. She might have been asking that, I guess, but it looked like she was getting Yeah. At plus one thousand, you can bet on if swift will be said by either team during play calling. No, like an audible like an audible No, they wouldn't do that. I mean the Chiefs absolutely would not do that, and the forty nine ers that's an easy note right there. Gosh, the real easy swift might be part of another play call,
like a normal play call. It's a word that maybe could be in an offensive lexicon. I thought, I'm gonna take my money on that. No, on that one. This is good. You'll probably do this money. You probably have to spend five hundred dollars to make eight cents. Yeah, let's make some money. Let's make eight sense. I'd pick up eight sense if it was sitting on the ground. Uh. Chiefs win coach Andy Reid mentions her in the speech. No, no, he'll about football after planning.
Oh okay, you think during the acceptance speech of the Lombardi he's going to mention taite. I think there's a chance. As part of a bit, I would bet no, But depending on the number you get, I would say no. I think that these guys that do this, very few of them are particularly quick on their feet when it comes to, you know, coming up with stuff on the spot. So anything that you hear has probably been thought about beforehand, or at least considered. And I don't think
that's where their minds are at right now. I think Andy Reads more likely to say the word nuggies. Yes, me too, sweat Taylor Swift. No chance he says nuggies. You can better how long total she'll be shown on TV over under his twenty eight point five seconds over dude, I don't know. I've bet on this stuff before, not quite like this, and
this damn Taylor Swift thing is out of control. But I bet the unders on all the crap going into a game and how many times it'll be mentioned or said, and it almost is always under They always downplay the stuff. I don't remember if it was to flate gate, but one was a huge bet on it if they'll say the word to flate gate, and they didn't. I don't I don't remember if that was exactly it, but it tends
to not happen as much as you think. You guys saw the big kind of the I don't know if it was a rant, but Colin Cowherd's thing when he was I don't know, trying to appeal to the Swift nation, and he broke down the number of seconds per game that she had been shown on and it's so low. Yeah, it's it's not, but it's not what you might think it is. CBS, though, is going to go this is our biggest event of the year, and we have more people watching
than ever because of her effect. The women watching this thing and they will pay that off is one that is ridiculous. I don't think you're going to get millions and millions more women watching the Super Bowl as far as as far as an accounting standpoint goes, you may have more people that are Taylor Swift fans actually watching the Super Bowl that would have already been on. No matter what, they may be paying closer attention to the game for a glimpse.
I see what you're saying from from from the measuring standpoint. From the measuring standpoint, I don't think you're gonna see an enormous spike in viewership because of the tailor fan. Give me over twenty eight and a half seconds they have over amount of times shown during live shots at five and over is a favorite. Oh my god, over, Yes, I mean it depends a little. What if they get rolled, they're gonna be They're gonna show her once
a quarter either, Yeah, I agree? And does halftime show time count? Will she do a heart hand sign on TV? I don't think we'll get the heart hand sign. Well he if he scores, okay, I think you will. I think you will. And that's that's a touchdown prop. I mean if he does it and cuts to her and she's doing it, I mean that's like sweet. They will cut that's a sweet moment.
Yeah, time, magical American moment. They're in love. They will cut to her during the usher performance and she will be dancing and singing along. They have odds for someone in the in her suite to be shown shirtless, with Jason Kelsey being the heavy favorite and then her being the second vice. If it's Donna, just look at my movies. Then they have this has a little padlock next to the lock, So I guess you can't. But will Travis Kelsey proposed to Taylor Swift after the game? No, because this
is not done on his terms. It's done on her terms. And then you can bet on where a proposal would happen on the field, on the podium, in the tunnel, in the locker room. That's sort of he ain't gonna marry him. I don't think they have odds that he'll propose to her and she'll say no, not right now on live TV. I mean, that's funny. Oh honey, let me think on that. No, no, no, and then she writes an album about how he publicly embarrassed
her. I do not think that girl wants to be married. I just don't they have odds on which we'll have more carrots, the engagement ring or the Super Bowl ring. Yeah, that's too long to wait on a payoff on that. Okay. Then they have odds on when she'll be announced that she's pregnant. Where the wedding would take place, who the maid of honor and best man would be. You can legit bet on all these things,
Travis, if you're listening, you can stop by doctor Gold. Mike, You'll stop by for you doctor Gold, jewelry dog and mail you the ring gets you a good deal. And then lastly, will Taylor Swift be seen eating a hot dog? Just bet? Yes? Just because? How about? Okay? What was that Jerry homemade good? It's truly amazing where prop bets have gone. Dude, it's so fun too that and you can really do them all. I printing out a sheet and just did it for the
Grammys the other night. I like got a ballot and I started picking my choices and just posted it for no reason. How'd you do? I did pretty good? I thought I did? Dominated? Actually you did? I did? Dom? How about uh, okay, Travis Kelcey receptions versus Taylor Swift live shots? Because what's his reception set? Probably is six and a half six and a half, which is and hers is five? At least
according to there, I coud see him getting seven catches easy. Yeah, and then you're like her, Damn, they're gonna shove her ten times or more. I God, I think you're right. Who will say the word Taylor Swift first, jim Nantz or Tony Romo? Tony, who do you think is favorite? In that Tony jim Nantz's favorite minus one fifty? Well, he does talk more right sometimes maybe not? What's going on? Also,
will Kelsey catch more than Swift Grammy nominations? That's six and a half she had six, So the orounder said at six and a half, I would have him at more receptions. Jack, Yeah, that's nice. I mean, I think it's as nice. I think this is fine. I love it. I don't care at all. It'll have zero impact. Actually, if I love a positive impact on watching the super Bowl, because it'd
be something else, more chaos and more stuff that drives people crazy. It's America's big night, Danny, there you go, Let's win them all. If you are just waking up on this beautiful Sunday Tuesday morning at eight twenty eight, you are now learning that Toby Keith country music legend passed away last night at the age of sixty two. We played some tunes. We've talked about his career a little bit. Let's make take a little bit of a
deeper dive and get to know the actual man in Dingu's morning news. Next
