The reality TV star peeled back the curtain on her dating life on the latest episode of Angela Yee's "Lip Service" podcast ... when the topic of age being just a number was raised.

Abbott went with a pigskin analogy Tuesday in response to a question about who was to blame for flash floods that have killed at least 109 people in Central Texas.

The Governor says every inch of the Lone Star State loves their football -- high school, college or NFL -- and Texans should take a cue from their favorite teams and not resort to blaming others when things go wrong.

You'll recall, roughly a week prior to the break-in, he had gloated to his Bengals teammates about the impending purchase ... but on the show, he told producers, "I didn't end up getting the Batmobile because, you know, I just had other things I wanted to deal with at that point."

Better not poke fun at Patrick Mahomes' body ... unless you want his trainer coming for you!

The beef was born when host Kevin Kietzman bodyshamed the Chiefs superstar quarterback on his show on Monday, calling him "fat" and an "embarrassment" in response to photos of the NFL MVP celebrating the 4 of July with family and friends.

Well, Mahomes' trainer, Bobby Stroupe, got wind of the comments, and clearly felt some type of way ... angering him so much that he channeled Khabib Nurmagomedov!

Police in Canada tell TMZ Sports ... the fight took place on July 4 at around 5:47 PM at Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer.
