But if it's a little more we desire, then we can go to TJRiggins.com slash prime and get the now trending plus. That's where it is. TJRiggins.com slash prime. So yesterday was the big day. Apple had their

big event. They announced some new products, new AirPods and new Apple Watch, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. But the star of the show as we've been telling you for a couple of weeks now was the new iPhone duo, the first foldable iPhone. Now a lot of people say, oh Samsung did this 10 years ago. You're right. They did, but it's not an iPhone. And that's what people use. iPhone is certainly one of the biggest phones out there in this one. It looks kind of like a passport, but when you open it up, it's a full screen. And a lot of people excited for it. A lot of people say, well, I'm not buying another iPhone, especially because this one costs $2,000. Yes, expensive. It's very expensive. But Lindsay was very on board. She said, I had been waiting. I saw somebody use a foldable phone in a restaurant and I thought, that's going to be my next phone. Well, the true test is whether or not our friend Cubby gets one hot off the presses. Because you know, he is a, you know, when there's

a new iPhone, he jumps all over because it's a status symbol. Yes. With him and his kind. Young people. No, no, no, his kind being, you know, he's around all the celebrities all the time and, you know, L.A. parties and things like that. So yeah, he, if he gets this, then it'll be something. Yeah. All right. Well, it's probably a good thing. I don't want it. I don't either. It's my, I want my home button back on my phone eight. You want to go back to like 2003 or I'm sorry. What were you saying? No, it's true. A lot of people say, you know, I would, I would get this if it weren't for a $2,000 price tag. And how, you know, where do you draw the line when it's a phone, you know, but the phone has become so much more than that, right? We, we use it for our calendar and we use it, you know, to contact people. So it isn't just a phone anymore. It is really a personal companion. And it's, you know, the entirety of the world's knowledge in your pocket. So

what is that worth to you? And, and how much do you want to spend on? See, you try to justify it the way you do spending money on a good mattress. You're going to use it every night of your life. It's true. It's true. So the iPhone duo is out now. The CEO made his first appearance at this Apple event and talked about all the new AI things that they're working on. And it's all very scary. Trust me. So that is in the news. There was a competition in Hungary over the weekend, the Hungarian Association of Cemetery Maintainers and Operators had a grave digging contest. 38 people competed and they had to dig a grave that is six and a half feet long by five and a half feet deep. And the winners dug that hole in one hour, 21 minutes and won 640 Hungarian dollars. You ever tried to dig a hole? I have never. It's not easy.

Especially if you're digging through grass. If you're just digging a hole in some dirt, it's a little bit better than if you have to start off in grass. It's difficult. It's difficult. And how many of them were on a team? Two man teams. Just two. Oh, yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. An hour, 21 minutes to dig a grave. I mean, they were working hard out there in Hungary for $640, but God bless them. We learned a little bit about Lindsay this week. Some shocking information. We'll recap coming up next. Don't go anywhere. We'll find you. We've got more of the TJ and Regan show with Lindsay coming up next. It's 2026. We upgraded our phones, our cars, even our coffee. So why are we still acting like pleasure as negotiable? At Pink Cherry, it's not. They've got hundreds of toys that actually deliver. And if you don't know where to start, their mystery boxes make it easy. Go to Pinkcherry.com and use promo code Chelsea to save up to 80% site wide because life is hard feeling good

Release your dog. Terms may apply. Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have Exama. So I get how it can still your time. But why let Exama take over when you can talk to your doctor about Epglyce? Epglyce, lubricism app, LBKZ. A 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older, who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe Exama. Also called a topic dermatitis that is not well controlled

with prescription therapies used on the skin, or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies. Epglyce can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you are allergic to Epglyce. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. I-problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have newer, worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Epglyce. Before starting Epglyce, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Pay partnership with Lily. Respect your time. Ask your doctor about Epglyce and visit Epglyce.com or call 1-800-LilyRX or 1-800-545-5979. The most important stories in the world. This is now trending on the TJ and Reagan show with Lenzi. Hey. All right. Don't miss any part of the TJ and Reagan show or any of the other podcasts and stuff that we do. All the features you can find those for Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube by going to TJregans.com. Lenzi is not here today. She's got COVID because it is 2021 and she's using that as an excuse to

get out of work today. No, I'm just kidding. She's really sick. As far as we know. But we don't know that she's got COVID. We don't know that. She may have no vid. Whatever causes her to be a little sleepy on the Thursday, but sending up some prayers for Lenzi today. I don't know if you saw the news. They're selling the bunny ranch out there in Las Vegas or outside of Las Vegas. That is the legal brothel that exists in Nevada. They're selling it for like 43 million bucks, which yeah. I mean, the only reason it's in the news is because it is the only place in the country. I believe where prostitution is legal. Well, and it is iconic. Everybody knows about the bunny ranch. But I wonder if, you know, it's like other things where you look at the, maybe there's some real estate developers or something coming in and they just need the land. And that's where the value is. Yeah, because you know, anytime you've seen that place on TV or where it is a dump.

It looks like a dump. It looks disgusting. So, but I don't know where it is. I don't know if there's anything around it that you would want to develop it into something. I don't know. So that's why I say I don't know whether the, are they going to refurbish it and make, you know, keep it a brothel or are they going to tear it down and build a car dealership? So I mean, who knows? Or a neighborhood. Yeah, it's not in Las Vegas or Reno, which is outlawed prostitution. But so it isn't a rural part of Nevada in the desert. But and they fight, you know, rulings every year. They spend a lot of money on legal fees just to keep it open. So I guess, you know, it's a lot of work to keep those places going. Yeah. And isn't that where what's the name Lamar Odom? That's where all of his stuff took place out of the controversy or scandal and stuff. Yeah, they found him, you know, near death. And he, you know, he was not doing well when they, he went to, he made a visit to one of those ranches out there. So, yeah, it's been in the news a lot.

So what you're saying is if you're planning on going, it's on your bucket list, you better kick that bucket soon because it's going to be available much longer. Maybe not. But the bunny ranches in the news, unfortunately, Apple had their big announcement yesterday. They've introduced the iPhone duo, which is a foldable iPhone. It's going to cost you $2,000 and it's available in just a couple weeks. But all the tech nerds were very excited about this one. If you're an Apple person, this might be very attractive to you. And did they say anything about a cover? How you going to get a cover for it? Yeah, they, they have shown off covers. But it just adds a lot of thickness to the already thin phone. So any, any case for a phone is going to add some depth to it. But this will have a cover that you can get, I believe. Okay. So a case that will protect it. Yeah, which defeats the purpose a lot of time. If you've ever taken the case off your phone and then just held it for a while, you feel like you're naked. Oh my god, this is so awesome.

It's amazing. Oh my gosh. It's more incredible when you take the case off. You think, how can they cram all this stuff into such a small package, but they do. They do it every day. The Lord did it with me. Crammed a lot of stuff into a small package, baby. You're the iPhone of radio. You so much crammed into such a small package. I love that. And you're a pro, baby. There's no doubt about it. More TJ, Riggins and Lindsay coming up. It's 2026. We upgraded our phones, our cars, even our coffee. So why are we still acting like pleasure is negotiable?

You can't be serious. You think making the pick is the hard part? No, it's not.

The pick takes like three seconds. You know it's hard. The sweat, the time between locking in and cashing out. Yeah, you have a take. But in the end, it's not about the winners or losers. This is about us, man. Whether we're brave enough to sit through it, don't fight the sweat. Live in it because you are an underdog. Underdog. At least you're dog. Grims may apply. Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have Exema. So I get how it can steal your time. But why let Exema take over when you can talk to your doctor about Epglyce? Epglyce, lubricism app, LBKZ. A 250 milligram per 2 ml injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older, who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe Exema.

All right. Bringing the uh bringing the news. Mr. Riggins, if you want more TJ and Riggins stuff, go to TJregins.com. It's worth to get it all. These are just a few of the top trending topics. So college football kicked off last weekend. This weekend is a big NFL comeback. Although last night was the first NFL game of the season. It was the New England Patriots playing the Seattle Seahawks. The Patriots falling 10 to 13. Oh, they did lose. Yeah, they lost to the Seahawks.

Man, I was for the Patriots because they have a their quarterback is from Charlotte. Where we live? Yeah, um, Drake, uh, Drake May. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Handsome guy too. You know, you always like to see a handsome person winning. And they have a couple of prominent former LSU players on their team too. So yeah. And I don't like the city of Seattle. So all reasons that I was wanting the course, I don't like Boston either. So yeah, take that one out. It cancels itself. There are many NFL cities that TJ would like. Well, here's a good riddle for you that's been circulating the internet. What's the only NFL team whose name is spelled in alphabetical order? Not the city, the actual team name. Can you think of it? Um, no. Yeah. It is. It's bills. Yeah. Yeah. The Williams. I love you gave it gave it the old college try though. No. Because I'm not good at I'm not

good at that. And I know we don't have long in the segment. I could, yeah, I said, oh, no, no. So have fun with that. It worked today. Apple had their big event yesterday. They introduced a new Apple watch, some new AirPods and of course the iPhone duo that everybody's been talking about. This is the new foldable iPhone that's going to cost you $2,000. But it's got a big matte screen when you flip it open. And people are still unsure like, what am I going to do with all of it? It's basically like an iPad, a little bit smaller iPad that costs $2,000. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I don't know. Do you think it's just that I at this point a status symbol? Yeah. I think all Apple products are that way. But they've taken over so much of the market that it's kind of become everybody's got an iPhone, you know? Yeah. But I mean, just to have this, you know, it's $2,000. It's brand news. Oh, you got the new, but I think any model that they debut is like that to a certain extent. But this whole different design and everything makes it a little bit different, I think. Yeah. And

they made a big deal of point out that you can lease this from us. So you don't have to drop $2,000. You can, you can lease it, but then you got to give it back. So I don't know. Yeah. You can lease it for $389 a month for the rest of your life until we get $10,000 out of you. Yeah. Well, it is a national holiday one that's near and dear to TJ's heart. We'll get to it coming up next. We don't go anywhere. We'll find you. We've got more of the TJ and Reagan show with Lanzi coming up next. It's 2026. We upgraded our phones, our cars, even our coffee.

When it comes to accessing your home's value, what you don't know might be the

only thing standing in your way. I don't understand. Exactly. Huh? An HEI from Splatero will give you a lump sum of cash upfront in exchange for a share of your home's future value. An HEI? What's the difference between that and a HELOC? Everything that matters. A HELOC is alone with variable interest rates that often have DTI requirements and monthly payments. With a Splatero HEI, there is no DTI requirement and most importantly, no monthly payments. Oh, I like that one. The no payments one. Of course, you're smart. And check this out. A HELOC has strict income and credit requirements. A Splatero HEI requires only a 500 minimum credit score and no income requirement. So much better. It seems like the only reason to confuse them is that they both start with H. Just remember Splatero. HEI means Splatero. Visit spli.itiro.com today and access your home's equity.
