Bobby and Caitlin finally sit down for a pregnancy Q&A, pulling from the questions they’ve been saving and answering the stuff people actually want to know: what’s surprised them, what’s been tougher than expected, and what they’re most excited (and nervous) about as the due date gets closer. They also get into a surprisingly heated debate: is it a “nursery,” a “baby bedroom,” or are we overthinking this already? Caitlin breaks down how sleep has been going in the third trimester (with the sleep scores to prove it), how acid reflux is changing the day-to-day, and what “no-sleep season” is starting to look like in real time. And yes, they address the big question everyone keeps asking: the baby’s name. They explain why they’re keeping it under wraps and what it’ll take for that secret to slip.

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 TV. Plus, Bobby tells the story about the time he was almost fired from his job and what led to it. And Eddie is still mad about his costly Disneyland dinner with “The Beast,” including what it set him back, what he thought he was paying for, and why he’s refusing to let it go.   Download the DraftKings Sportsbook App today: https://dkng.co/bobbysports If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) (IL/IN/MI/NJ/PA/WV/WY), 1-800-NEXT STEP (AZ), 1-800-522-4700 (CO/NH), 888-789-7777/visit http://ccpg.org/chat (CT), 1-800-BETS OFF (IA), 1-877-770-STOP (7867) (LA), 877-8-HOPENY/text HOPENY (467369) (NY), visit OPGR.org (OR), call/text TN REDLINE 1-800-889-9789 (TN), or 1-888-532-3500 (VA).21+ (18+ WY).
