We have four trips for two to give away and a trip to London to give away to see Harry Styles in person. So here's what you need to do. Text the national keyword direction.

And that will give you a chance to win one of those trips to New York City or to London. Now we want to focus our attention on you on the phone lines at 833-390-K-R-B-E and give this bridesmaid advice. Should she be mad or bothered because she is and she wants to know if other people would be mad, she's getting married, has not happened yet obviously, but the bridesmaids have already gotten their dresses and she's real excited about it. But then she saw last weekend that one of her bridesmaids wore that dress to an event. And she's like, wait a second. That's a bridesmaid's dress. Now, should I be, I would be impressed that she got to wear it already. Good dress. Right. It looks good enough. She likes it. You're not going to be in that, you know, percentage of people are like, God, this dress sucks. I'm not going to wear it again. You spent money on it. You want to get some use out of it. Yeah, but you really like it then, I guess. But is it a faux pas to wear it before the actual wedding day? Yes, I think so. That's rude. No pictures. Doesn't matter. But there are pictures. That's how I saw it. Get some people. That's how she saw it. Oh, look at her changing the game. It's not me. I'm moving the golf post. Jennifer is on the line. Hi, Jennifer. Good morning. Good morning. So what's your opinion on this faux pas or it's okay? You get the bridesmaids dress, you wear it. I think it's okay. As long as I paid for the dress, I should be able to wear whenever I want. And if I want to wear it before the wedding, that's the end of it. Oh, that's right, girl. Is that rude though? The only reason you have that dress is you all have the dress. No, that's my dress. But you're doing it for a special, for someone you... I got this wine stain on it. I just ignore it. That just means you just don't love that bride's maid, the bride. You shouldn't be a bridesmaid then. You don't care about that bridesmaid, the bride. I don't know about that one. Yeah, that's a reach. You don't have to read. Because think about that. Now, Jennifer, would it bother you... You don't wear a selfish... Let me throw you this wrench in the game. What if she was at that event and she was saying, you see my dress? This is Sam's bridesmaid dress for her wedding. I'm going to wear it next month. Isn't it awesome? This is the dress I'm going to wear in Sam's wedding. Isn't this great? Yeah, you spilled barbecue sauce on it. And then there's like, you know... You can wash it to be fair. Maybe you can. But what if it really... Dry cleaners can get out any stain. Any stain. Yep. Would it be more bothersome if she said it was the bridesmaid dress of an upcoming wedding, or, you know, whatever? Should the bride just let it go? I think it definitely would be more bothersome if I were to say, like, oh, yeah, I'm wearing this. This is our bridesmaid's dress for someone's wedding. That would definitely be bothersome. But like, if you're just wearing it and it's a beautiful dress, why not? If you paid for it, it's yours. Wear it. Okay, question for you, Jennifer. As a female in these United States of America that sounds like you're over the age of 20, have you been in somebody else's wedding? Can I assume you've at least been asked once or no? Yeah. How many of those dresses have you reworn? I've reworned two of them. Okay. That's good. Good for you. It's good for you to like them, right? I have reworned zero of them. You gotta love a good core. Zero of them. Salmon. Yeah, they were really pretty dresses. And like, I mean, I'm a sucker for like, bridesmaid dresses, especially when they're really pretty, they go with a lot of different themes. And it's not just like this nasty hideous dress. Like, I've only been in one nasty hideous dress and I was really upset about it. What would it look like? What made it so terrible? So curious. It was just, it was a nasty forest green color and it had no sparkle. It had no, no nothing pretty on it. Well, forest green. It sounded like it could be a pretty color. I was like, I was like, this is great. I'm listening and no sparkles muted. Okay. Was this long? Was it a long gown? Or was it short? It was a long, it was a long gown and it was like, what do they call it? Chaff, chaffon or something like that. Chaffon. Chaffon. What do you guys do if you don't look like, see the other four bridesmaids are all like models? You're speaking about my language right here. And I got like thicker arms and then all of a sudden they all want that little, just a little strap and you're like, I don't want my arms exposed. Well, that's my life, Eric. My life is, you know, I've got arms that, you know, if there's some kind of a surgery that's magical, that doesn't hurt and is not dangerous and doesn't show scars, I would get rid of these flags. But until then I'm going to wave them. And when I was younger, obviously I've talked about, with my flags, I've talked about openly how I've gone up and down and wait. If you've known me for 25 years on the radio, you know, I've gone up and down and wait. And it is so stressful to be the biggest bride, bridesmaid. You look at it as it's an honor to be asked, but then you're so stressed out because you're like, okay, great. Everyone's going to pick a dress that they're okay with, but oh crap. What's it going to look like on me? And then you don't want to be that one. That's like the biggest one. And I actually said- If you buy stuff to cover your flags, but then does everyone else have to do that too? Right. Then you have to add that. Which is probably not real listening. And then if you're like muscles or something, you're like, I don't want to come out. You're never going to have my back for this and my shoulders for this. What am I going to put a shawl on for? Right. I mean- Stuff you don't think about. For my own sister's wedding, she had, my oldest sister, when she got married, it was a strapless dress. And I was so insecure about my arms that she had the lady at the bridal store build like this little like Balero thing that we all had to wear. And then you could toss it at the reception if you wanted to. Oh nice. And I kept it on because it could snap in. And even for my own wedding dress, my own wedding dress was supposed to be more like- I picked a wedding dress that had something that covered arms versus one that's going to be strapless or, you know, halter or whatever it is because everybody has like their hated body part. What if it's a short dress and you don't like your legs? Right. And you're like, oh great. Right. You know, some girls freak out about the married bridesmaids and get pregnant and she's going to be like seven months pregnant at the wedding. If the bride doesn't mind, fine. But she herself might be like, oh, I just feel really swollen. Yeah. Well, yeah, your legs stated up there. Especially in Greek wedding, that's an hour and a half long. 45 minutes for the go fast. Someone said as a bride, I would be so excited that I picked a dress that people want to wear to other occasions. I'm cool with other occasions. I'm just not the first one. Not before the wedding. Yeah. I feel like the- is that bad luck? I don't know. I feel like that's luck. I'd say you know how we do, what do we call it? Romance or No Chance? I know the one with the wedding. Wedding only game. Oh, wedding only game. Wedding only game. Yeah. I'll be a wedding only game. She wore the dress before I got married and so now what? I don't know if what the bridesmaid does would doom your own marriage. Right. But one, but a lot of people do say, one person says it's absolutely wrong to wear a bridesmaid dress to another event prior to the wedding. It is intended for because that is disrespectful. And didn't the bride pay for it or did she not? No, a lot of times the bridesmaids pay for it. Yeah. I've never seen a bride pay for that. She didn't pay for the bridesmaid dresses. Only when I got married, Sam, you weren't part of our show back then, but my big quandary when I got married is one of my very, very good friends overseas. We were going to fly her over here for free because my sister could fly her on a pass. I was going to buy her bridesmaids dress. She was going to stay with me and my parents for my wedding and she didn't come. And I kept thinking it's going to be like an expensive thing for her. She's freaked out about, she'd already been to the States once and she didn't come. And ever since then, I always think about how I was going to buy her. Because you think about your budget as a bride. And you have to add a bridesmaids role to your budget. That's just more expense. I just wanted to offset the expense for her and she didn't come. And are you still friends with them? But she lived very far away. She lived in Greece. And you're not friends anymore? We were the best of friends when we would go when I'd go visit her. Yeah, there's no way. In high school, we were at letters to each other. You can't be friends after that. No, I know. That's just like my friend that showed me her freaking bridesmaid dress, the place that she was going to stay at and then didn't show up. That's weird. That is the craziest. We don't know her. Like who does that? Her financial situation. Doesn't show up. She'd have told you though. But the financial, Kevin, where was the expense? The free flight from Greece. Staying in my mom and dad's house. Everything paid for while she's here. Where was the, was it fear of like coming back to the States? I'm going to be by myself. It's a long trip. I don't know. She'd already been here once. Was it, maybe she just felt bad. Like I don't want to be a mooch, that much of a mooch. Some people don't comfortable getting that free stuff. Oh, maybe it's that. And they don't want to say it because like, I didn't go to my college buddy's wedding. We started the show. I think at Carribee. Yeah. Because we were out for a while. So 2006, I didn't have enough money to go to. He got married in that little island out past LA Santa. I don't know. Some, whatever he did. Catalina Island or something. Yeah. Where the wine mixer was. But I'm like, I can't afford to go on that trip. I had no money. And I never called. Really, I just blew it off. And we're still friends on Facebook, but I bet he's still pissed at me. But blowing it off is the problem. Yeah. Because you blew it off. You didn't say to him. Yeah, it was embarrassed. I really love you. I'm embarrassed to say. But I don't have the money to come to your wedding. It's very hard to say it to someone. Who wants to say that? That's embarrassing. I get that, but you shouldn't agree. Did you agree that you were coming? Well, we, like when I was in LA, working, when we're off, we were all drinking, hanging out. And he said, I'm like, oh, it sounds great. But it wasn't like official official, I don't think. You didn't RSVP. I don't think I did. I don't remember getting something in the mail because I was moving. But I just remember, I haven't talked to him since then. Rula, maybe your friend was like Eric and she's afraid to go potty on the plane. In the long trip. Yeah, yeah. I said, mm-mm. Oh my God. But she'd already been here, Chad. Yeah, I know. Those planes at least have big bathrooms, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean better. Yeah, better. A little better. And what's the craziest part of it? Now with Facebook and Instagram and TikTok and the way we can connect. Is she on there? She is, but we weren't even like, I don't even ever see anything. I didn't even know what her profile name was. She didn't use her real name. And so I was just like, oh, did you talk to someone? So I go, oh, I don't even know she's on Facebook. What's her name? Like it's so odd. Your name's Yves. The years that I had such core memories of her from 17 to 27 going to Greece on my own dime. It's like what? I mean, we just had the best times. And I cannot believe that she did not come to my wedding. That's what's hard with you. It's like, man, that's such a core memory. You're right. It's like high school. Like my kids with friends and sometimes they get upset with each other. I'm like, why are you worried so much about this? The long run 15 years from now, you're probably wanting to be friends with them. Isn't that the saddest thing though? But you can't say that. But why is that the cliche, guys? The people in your wedding party. Look at the pictures in your wedding party. How many of those people are still tight with you? The majority of people can pick at least one person they're not that tight with anymore. Especially if you're married at like 22, 23, and you got 15 bridesmaids. Right. And speaking of bridesmaid dresses, can we just put it out there now that I think with the flexibility of the brides these days, they're saying just wear whatever you want as long as it's this color and long. That's fun. People will re-wear the dresses. It's gone are the days of 21 dresses with Kath and Heigl. Oh, making you wear it. Which shows crazy dresses with like, tulle and hats and flowers and feathers. Nine years ago, I just told them to wear navy. Navy dress. I don't care if it's short, long, dress navy. So it shows a bold navy? No, it just has to be the color. Oh, it better not. The navy, the color had to be navy. And? And they wore navy dresses. My husband wore a navy suit, and then his groomsmen wore a gray suit. Did you have the same amount of guys and girls, or does that matter? We did not because the girl in the ghost in me. No show. Didn't show up. Last text on this, and we'll move on. I'm a wedding coordinator, and let me tell you, weddings bring out the weirdest and worst in people. I have some stories I could tell. Ashley, we have to have you on the raw feed one time. And come on in. Bring all the tea. OK, coming up next, true crime Tuesday.

You are somehow connected to a true crime, whether it's something that happened to you, something that happened near you, something that was made into a 48-hour special that you were part of. Yeah, we have lots of Netflix specials about this area. And even like the Candy Man stuff that I forgot about. All the things. Not the Candy Man from the movie where the guy who said Candy Man five times. It was something else like in the 80s. It was a serial killer. Let's go to Ellie on the line. 833-390-KRBE. Hi, Ellie. Good morning. Hi, good morning. Morning. So what's your story? Okay, it's a little crazy. My father was a pastor. When I was growing up, I was young. This was several years ago, probably 30 years ago. But it was, I think it was after church one day because there weren't a lot of people around. Everybody, almost everybody had left except the people that worked in the church. So my dad was there, me, my brother, my uncle brother. There were probably like 12 to 15 people. And these three men came in with machine guns to rob. To rob the church. And my dad made everybody get in the bathroom. Like everybody was locked into a like a one-star bathroom. Some people were sitting on the toilet. Some people were sitting on the sink. Like we were crammed into the bathroom. And it was about 15 minutes. And I remember catching a glimpse of one, just one guy with like a really, really big gun. And that's pretty much all I remember of it. But no one, no one was hurt. I guess they got what they wanted or maybe they didn't. I don't know what they left. They left. And so we all, we all made it out okay. But that's the only thing. Did your dad stay out there with them? Or did they, you all hide? Or was he in the bathroom with you? No, my, no, my dad had to stay out there with them. That's why I figured someone has to talk to him to say, take what you want. Oh my. Yeah, but he was like, don't ask questions. He was like, don't ask questions. Just get in the bathroom, everybody in the bathroom. And he like made everybody go into like a single-star bathroom, I guess, to protect us, which makes sense. But I was pretty terrifying not knowing like what was happening. I think I was like eight or nine years old. So I was pretty young. So I didn't really have a lot of questions to ask about it. I didn't realize how big of a deal it was at the time. I was just really, really scared. It was crazy. Wow. And there's no cameras, you know, 30 years ago. Yeah, no kidding. No. They ever catch those guys? Or those guys just made out with the money and never heard or seen them from them? They never caught them. Never caught them. They never caught them. That's the worst. No. Worst. What kind of scumbag would do that? With the church. On the drive in the bus straight to hell. Yeah, church. I thought it was like after Sunday school because there weren't a lot of people, but it couldn't have been because there wouldn't be a lot of money. It had to have been after the collection plate to have been passed around. I think that's probably what they were after. Good gracious. I went to Joel's Teens Church once. You guys wanted me to go cover O'Kanah West. I think it was there. So since I lived there, you guys go there. So I went and I didn't realize like they passed the plate around. And they got like, they got guards by every plate. Well, yeah, because look how many people are in there. Yeah. But guns and everything, they're like every row. Yeah, that's why I saw. Every section. I would imagine because you don't want somebody to get that basket run. Yeah. It's a lot of money. It's so big the place. And honestly, the cash thing still throws me. Because you know, I don't care cash anymore. Yeah. Thank you so much, Ellie, for that story. We're going to Judy on the line at 833-390-K-R-B-E. True Crime Tuesday. Hi, Judy. Good morning. Hi, good morning. Hi, Judy. Hey. So I understand you have a really, I don't know, from what it looks like, it's a very entwined story. But your grandpa tells about this. Yes. So my grandfather, he had a little disagreement. This was in Mexico. He had a little disagreement with his friend, with his good friend. And so his friend pulled out a gun on him. And so my grandfather was like, no, let's talk this out. Da, da, da, da, da. So when my grandfather went to his house, he went to go get his gun. So when he came back to the bar or whatever, he ended up killing his friend. Oh my gosh. So he left and he came to Houston and come to find out that the family of his friend was keeping tabs on my grandfather. And so when he came back to Mexico, when he went back to Mexico, the people went to my grandmother's house. And they had my grandmother and they had my uncle. You know, and so they grabbed them and they were like, if you don't show up, we're going to kill your wife and your son. Oh my gosh. So he turned himself in with these people and they actually grabbed him and they went into, I would say, like a, I don't know, some other town or something like that. And they tied him up so that the wife of this guy could kill him. Oh my God. And they ended up, well, she ended up killing him. So the lady went crazy and she would tell people, you know, her family, oh, I see this, I see him, I see him, I see him. So she ended up seeing my grandfather. Like ghosts. He was haunting them. Yes. So your grandpa killed his friend and then that friend's family ended up killing your grandpa, but like in a real diabolical way. It wasn't just like crying a passion instant. It was like, we planned this out, we're going to tie you up. Now did your family retaliate again? Like were you, you're like the Monty using the capulets? Yeah. Or did you guys say it's over now or like, how do you end that? Because yeah, it's over. Everything is over because from what I know, my grandfather, he was one of those like macho man, mean man and stuff. And I keep telling my mom. I was like, are uncles like that? And she was like, she said no, you know, none of them are like that. They just like, they don't want nothing to do with them because they were scared because they were like, why are they keeping tabs on him? Kill this lady for me. But also, Judy, for you to know this story, like how were you told this story? I'm assuming you were not alive yet when this story happened or were you like a little girl or when did this happen? No, I was alive. I was alive. I was probably like, I want to say like 10 years old because when my grandfather came to the United States, I saw him. I saw him. You have memories of him. Because I'm saying like, do they like tell you this story and like gatherings? Like let me tell you a story about your grandpa. But you knew him. So you were 10. You actually have memories of him. No. Wow, that's crazy. They don't say that. They don't say that, but it comes out as like just random. Something like, I remember my dad telling me something about my dad because they were, he told me that the actual nickname of my grandfather was the venom. The venom. The venom. So he sounds like he was the notorious for this. Did they give the body back? Did they give the body back to your family? Were you able to rest him? Like put him to rest? Yes. Okay. Okay. Yes. But no, man, no police in here. Wow. Oh my goodness. Venom. So the grandpa killed the friend. The friend's family kills the grandpa. And then it's just, gosh, it's like a movie. Okay. I'm sorry that happened, Judy. I'm sorry for your loss, but that is a wild story. Lala is up next. Hi Lala. Good morning. Good morning guys. How are you? I'm pretty good. It's true crime Tuesday. Tell us your story. I got so many, but I'm going to take one that... Okay. All right. More than one. All right. Keep one. Let's tell us more. Yes. A couple of years ago, I had a coworker that needed a ride to go to his probation officer. And I fortunately was off work on the day that he needed to go. So when we went, everything kept happening that kept us from stopping where we needed to stop, like I needed gas and I had to go to the bathroom. Places were closed. The ATM machine was closed. It was really early in the morning and when we finally got somewhere to stop, where he could go into use the ATM machine across... It was on Old Spanish Trail. Across the street was another bank. And I had to go to the bathroom so bad and I walked out to look to see if there anything open. And I looked to my right and I saw the limous truck at the other bank sitting at the ATM machine. And I looked to my left. There was nobody anywhere but this limous truck. The limous truck is the armored car that you see pull up to stores for the cash. Okay. Yes. Yes. Well, I didn't know back then that they also tend to the ATM machines. Well, when I look back to my right, this old beat up car, I couldn't even tell you today what kind of car it was. Pulled up behind the limous truck and these three guys jumped out all with automatic weapons. One guy ran around the car and was going to like the passenger side of the limous truck. And the other guy was looking around. He pointed his gun directly at me and I just froze. And when I heard them scream, he's going around the car. I went back inside to the little, you know how sometimes banks have those little openings that you can... That's the view. ...go to the ATM machine that you can't go inside. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it was like that. And when I went inside, my friend is getting money out of the machine and I was like, Oh my God, get down there robbing the ATM machine. And he just turned and looked and said, What? And then I turned back around and I heard some gunshots and I called 911. And when I realized that there was a homeless man like walking across the street, I thought, Surely this guy is not walking across the street while they're shooting over there. And I looked and the car was gone. And I'm on the phone with 911. I ran out of the store. I had heels on and a whole outfit, but I ran out of the ATM little area and I turned and looked and I could see a guy laying on the ground. And what was it in me? I don't know, but I'm a helpful person. And when I seen him, I just threw my shoes off. I threw my keys to my friend and I'm on the phone still and I'm running over to the guy. I have no idea where these robbers went, but I wasn't thinking about that. And when I got to him, he had, he was laying like all spready, go with his arms out and he had his head up. And he's looking at me and blood was just gushing out of the back of his head. And so I, I, yeah, I knelt down and I was asking him questions and I'm trying also to tell 911 where we are. And I was asking him about his life and he was smiling at me, but he was clearly losing a lot of blood. And he told me that he had a little girl that was two and that he was going to be asking his girlfriend to marry him. And I just kept talking to him and the lady on the phone was like, can you stop the bleeding in hit on his head? Can you put your hand over his head? And my hand was really little. So I took all, I had two shirts on. I took my shirt off and I put my shirt over the flap that was open in his head. Oh, good God, Lord, you give me too many details. Lord have mercy. Did he survive? Yeah. Did he survive? He did survive. He did survive. I, while he was laying there, he gave me his number to his mother and asked me to call his mother and tell his mother that he had been in an accident and he was going to the emergency room. Meanwhile, the other blue mist guy was still in the truck. So there, okay, I didn't know this, but apparently one of the guys has to stay in the truck. Uh-huh. No matter what. Yeah. Wow. Even when your guys are shot. No matter what, because if you get out, then somebody could take that truck. I don't care. The life is worth more than a stupid. But then they would have taken the truck. I mean, that's the whole thing. Here's my, well, you are proving to me why, why I have always been very aware of the armored cars when they're going to do their job. If I'm at the grocery store and I'm, I'm about to pull into the grocery store and I see that armored car, I either come back later or I park very far away because we had a mutual friend that used to do this job and he had been shot at two times and he had that job for a very limited amount of time. He's like, I'm out of here. This is too hard because people poach those trucks all the time and that's why they're all armored up and that's, it's called an armored vehicle for a reason, but there's always danger because there are people that are poaching those trucks on their routes. We see movies all the time. Yes. Yes. Terrifying. You helped that man. Lala, God bless you. I'm glad that he survived. That is terrifying and I don't know if I'd ever use an ATM again after that. No. I'm like, oh Lord, I can't. I'll just get it from the grocery store. He says, wild. I'm so glad that the person survived. He survived. I know. My gosh. If you all want to share a story with us, go to Listenline 713-278-VENT coming up next in Celebrity Scoop. Lady Gaga breaking news. She's heartbroken, but why? What has she done now? Or what has happened to her that she is telling the world about and she can't control it? We'll talk about it next in Scoop on KRBE. Celebrity Scoop. I'm a ruler show with Eric. 104.1. KRBE. It is brought to you by Taqueria Arrondas and for the second time, from what I remember in her career, especially Kay, Lady Gaga has had to cancel her shows because of illness. She absolutely drives herself into the ground when it comes to the pace in which she leads her life when she's on tour. And unfortunately, her respiratory infection has grounded her. She canceled her final Montreal show because of the respiratory infection that is worsening. And the doctor said, you have to call it off. She was supposed, she did do two shows in Montreal as part of her mayhem ball tour before she got sick, but it was supposed to end on April 13th. And then she's supposed to do one more in Madison Square Garden. She has now had to cancel those and she says she's heartbroken and she has gut punched because she hates not being able to perform. And she said, I have to cancel the show. I've been fighting this infection for the past few days. I'm doing everything I can to rest and recover, but it's gotten worse. And I cannot give you the quality of a performance today that you deserve. And look, in that case, that's fair. Yeah. But you're mad when you've booked tickets and probably maybe some people travel for that show and gotten hotels and whatnot. It's just like when Adele had to cancel her residency for a time, people lost their minds. People going from everywhere to spend money for that. But listen, you want to get a crap show or you want to get nothing where she's all rasping, can't talk or can't sing or all the background singers are doing. She's putting the mic out for you to do it. I don't know. I don't know if I am mad or sad about that. Do I like that or do I hate that? I don't have her at least there. When you are just like, here you sing. I said, no, I paid for you to sing it. Yeah. But if I paid and there was like late notice like an hour before and she was still there where she could talk a little bit, I don't know. I would suck. So the canceled shows, the only- How about my money back, obviously. She's only going to two more shows. St. Paul, Minnesota is still on April 9th in New York City, April 13th. Three funds are going to come through Ticketmaster. Yeah. It's a respiratory infection, I guess. So you should be able to take antibiotics for that, right? And shake it off in seven to 10 days. You think? I remember I was a couple of years ago, I kept, I called for like four months. Yeah, you can't shake it sometimes. Something stuck in there. It's really bad. It is the 90th anniversary of the Masters, the golf tournament that gave you the green jacket. Jack Nicklaus's historic win in 1986 at the age of 46 is one of the biggest milestones. Well, he's on the list, which is really impressive for all the years of all the sports stars that we have with these insane contracts between F1 and soccer and basketball that two of the Masters champs still reign supreme on the list of the highest paid sports stars ever. That's crazy. Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, otherwise known as the iced tea with lemonade. Yes, I love that one. Yes, it's classic. It's my favorite. Jack Nicklaus's worth is inflation in just adjusted earnings, puts them at $1.83 billion and number seven on the list and Arnold Palmer is number six on the list with $1.85 billion. Can y'all guess who is in who's at the top of the list? It goes all sports. All sports. All sports. Oh, I can't do all sports. Soccer, baseball, golf, tennis. Oh, Christian Ronaldo. He's number three. Yeah. 2.52 billion. Who's number one? Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan number one. Is he number one? $4.5 billion is what he's earned. Is Shaq on this list? In top 10, no. Should be with all the commercials he does. Yeah, all the money he's made probably outside of Florida. He does everything. This guy's never turned down a commercial. I know. From flooring to like the general. The general? Yeah. Insurance guy. Insurance. The general. So the top 10 is Floyd Mayweather for boxing, $1.57 billion earned adjusted earnings, inflation adjusted earnings. Roger Federer for tennis, number nine. David Beckham for soccer, number eight. Set seven, six, six, seven. We already said it was golf with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Five Lionel Messi for soccer. LeBron James hits at number four. Cristiano Ronaldo's three. Tiger Woods is two. Okay, yeah. More reason he should have a driver. And number one, Michael Jordan. Because a lot of them have courses like ejecting. Nicklaus. Nicklaus course. They're all over the United States and the world. So he gets, the family gets money on that. Heck yeah, that's nice. And who's number eight? You said? Number eight. Hold on, wait, I just want to wait. Number eight is David Beckham. I'm surprised he's not higher. Yeah. 1.68 billion is what his inflation adjusted earnings. Where's number nine then? There's maybe number nine. Roger Federer. Tennis. Is he on? Oh, on clouds? The shoes. Roger Federer, maybe he's connected somehow. Is he the one from that area? I don't know. Where's he from? Is he from Switzerland or from? Yeah, they make the ons and he owns a piece of that. Don't you see Sam waving you off? I don't know. That's not good. That's not good. He doesn't tear off. He's asking all these questions. I don't know. I'm a ruler show with Eric. That's why he makes billions. K.R.B. What's going down next time, brought to you by Easy Fiber, where we're just wondering what country is Roger Federer from? Which fun story. I went to the Australian Open in 2006 in Melbourne. He was there and it was the year that like the low brown number 37th tennis player that barely made that tournament almost went head to head with him. Oh, really? Yeah. He ended up winning the Australian Open, but Andy Roddick was the tier right before. And this kid that was like a no name, last name was Baghdadis. Everyone was like, oh my God, Baghdadis. And they're like, oh, he's going to be Federer. And he does own a piece of on. He does. And they even have a shoe called the Roger. They gave him like useful information. Oh, just because you hated, do you think it was that and you'd be all over there slipping it all up? Oh yeah. I love that. Thank you. Yeah, but it's your middle name or your actual name. So you kind of buy it. No, I hate that name. You are Roger. We're talking about your Roger. Have you guys ever heard me ever say my name? It's the Rula Show with Roger. With Roger. Oh, you really missed an opportunity there. The Rula Show with Roger. You missed an opportunity there. I even took it off my name. Oh my God, I should get Snickers. My social security card does not even have that on there anymore. What's going on in H-town? Call him Roger. No. Yeah. Yeah. Did you miss what happened on Revenge with Roger? No. Producer Roger. No. It is the tale of two birthday parties. Was this petty or was it deserved? You be the judge when you hear it next on the Rula Show with Roger. Eric on Carribee. Hi, I'm Joe Salci.
