Summary
Bobby opens up in a way he rarely does—getting honest about his own relationship with gambling, how many thousands of dollars he lost in 2025 and what he learned. Then NFL legend Steve Smith Sr. joins to relive one of the most unforgettable Super Bowl weekends ever, including what he remembers from being part of the game tied to the Justin Timberlake–Janet Jackson halftime show that turned into a cultural moment no one saw coming. Plus, Beanie Wells tells the story of his recruiting roller coaster: how he nearly committed to USC… until his mom stepped in with a firm “no,” changing the path of his career before it even started.
