Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has the privilege of coming from one of the most respected families in football, but he has also had to pay his dues along the way. 

The 19-year-old phenom, who is set to finally take over as a starter in the 2025 season, said he has been bullied by his famous uncles, Peyton and Eli, and they have even given him wedgies. 

"Back in the day, Eli and Peyton used to kind of bully me, so it was good, give wedgies and stuff like that," Arch said during an interview with ESPN on Thursday. "You just gotta make the younger guy tough. My brother and I, we went through it a little bit, it was good."

As the nephew of Peyton and Eli, and the son of their brother Cooper, Arch is expected to carry on the famed Manning mantle in the NFL. With that also comes the burden of carrying the Manning family mantle of sibling bullying, including wedgies.

Peyton shared a story of how Eli gave him a wedgie while on a golf trip, during a segment on ESPN's "Manningcast" in December 2022. 

"I was trying to take a nap, and I was in a corner bed, and he came up behind me, he kind of had me leveraged into the wall, and he gave me a wedgie, he almost went atomic with it," Peyton said. 

Eli insisted, "it was atomic." An atomic wedgie is classified as one in which a person's underwear is pulled above the victim's head or higher.

"I was about to be asleep, I was so angry, basically, because the nap was interrupted, but the atomic wedgie was like an added bonus," Peyton continued. "He was so proud, we almost threw down, but I was in pain and I couldn't fight to well." 

Eli added that he ripped Peyton's favorite underwear in the incident. 

Meanwhile, Eli has, on multiple occasions, described the harsh treatment Peyton instilled on him when the two brothers were growing up in Louisiana. 

Prior to playing in Super Bowl XLVI in early 2012, Eli shared the story of how Peyton would pin him to the floor and give him intense football trivia challenges. 

"I probably have quite a few of them, but to limit it to one -- his most popular move, he would pin me down and take his knuckles and knock on my chest and make me name the 12 schools in the SEC (Southeastern Conference). I didn't know them all at the time, but I quickly learned them. It was a great learning technique. I don't suggest anyone else try it out, but it definitely made me learn the schools of the SEC," Eli told reporters. 

"Once I figured those out, he moved on. There were 28 teams in the NFL at that point, so all teams in the NFL. I had to get my studying on for that. Then once I figured that out – the one I never got was the 10 brands of cigarettes. When he really wanted to torture me and knew I had no shot of ever getting it, that's when I just started screaming for my mom or dad to come save me, or maybe Cooper. That was his go-to move."

• I grew up as a latchkey kid and loved roaming the city by myself.
• But I struggled to give my tween the same independence I loved so much.
• At 13, I caved and let her walk alone to a café.

For months, my 12-year-old daughter begged me to let her walk alone to the strip of stores and cafés a half-mile away from our house in Los Angeles. Craving independence, she wanted to get ice cream, pick out a friend's birthday gift, and do her homework at the coffee shop (anything) so long as she could do it by herself.

Each earnest request was met with a resounding "No." Resentment radiated from my daughter's big eyes. I was the evil witch to her Rapunzel. Instead of a tower, she was trapped in a California bungalow.

Attempting to compromise, I offered to let her go solo on one condition. I'd trail out of sight behind her.

"You won't even see me," I argued.
"Not the same, and you know it!" she shot back.

I was terrified of giving her the freedom I grew up with.

I was a latchkey kid

I understood her desire to explore on her own. I was a latchkey kid growing up in Seoul, where my father was stationed. Once school was over, I'd scarf down some Spam with kimchi while watching my favorite soap opera and head out the door of our apartment. There was nothing I loved more than roaming the bustling city.

I'd walk to the corner store and buy a grape-flavored Popsicle in the shape of a shark that was raspberry red in the middle when I bit into it. I'd ride my bike along the Han River, ferry boats and gleaming skyscrapers streaking by in my periphery. Sometimes, I'd peruse my favorite stationary store, running my fingers along the crisp paper of Keroppi the Frog notebooks. Embedded in these memories was the gratification of doing it all without adult supervision.

I was terrified of giving her the same freedom

But as a 42-year-old mother, I was terrified of allowing my daughter the same freedom. Watching cars blazing through our neighborhood, barely coming to a rolling pause before blasting past a stop sign, my chest seized at the idea of her navigating the streets without me to protect her.

My fears didn't stop at speeding vehicles. Push notifications from apps like My Citizen and Nextdoor were frequent reminders of nefarious activities taking place. In one harrowing post, a girl was accosted and groped by a man as she walked to her middle school in a nearby suburb. Reading the scary details, I thrust my phone into the air. "See!" I declared. My daughter sighed.

Thirty years earlier, when I was 12, I escaped an attempted abduction shortly after my family moved from Korea to the US. In Washington State, a man followed me and tried to get me into his car as I made my way home alone.

The terrifying incident imprinted me with a deep paranoia. It was leaching into my child's adolescence, causing strife. I wanted to keep her safe, but tethering her tightly to my side only created distance between us. She was frustrated and angry. More than once, she called me "Smother."

I needed her to know I trusted her

How could I expect her to be confident and self-sufficient if I didn't show I trusted her? I knew I needed to let go, to let her experience and navigate the world without me holding her hand. To help quell my paranoia, I deleted My Citizen and Nextdoor. Those apps were gasoline to my fiery anxieties.

One Saturday morning, I swallowed the bile gathering in the back of my throat, gripped the kitchen island for support, and told my daughter she could walk by herself to the coffee shop. Her face shone as she promised to abide by my safety precautions. Watching her skip down the front walkway without me next to her, my knees buckled.

Pacing the kitchen, phone clutched in my sweaty hands, I started at her shared location. For a half-mile, the blue dot moved from block to block. Then it stopped. My phone chimed. "I'm here, Mama!"

An hour later, my daughter returned, beaming and exuberant, sipping an iced matcha latte. Meanwhile, I looked like I'd just crawled out from the trenches.

Now 13, my daughter has ventured out by herself on many occasions. Though my nerves still rattle, they've improved with time. When she walks back through our front door, pride and confidence fill her eyes — and mine, too.

• SoftBank is in talks to invest up to $25 billion in OpenAI, which could value it around $300 billion.
• The deal could make OpenAI the joint-second most valuable tech company after SpaceX.
• The funding round could see OpenAI pump $15 billion into the Stargate AI infrastructure project.

SoftBank is preparing to lead fresh investment into OpenAI at a $300 billion valuation, Business Insider understands — a move that would value the ChatGPT maker the same as TikTok owner ByteDance.

The Japanese investment giant is in talks to invest up to $25 billion in OpenAI, the Financial Times first reported.

While SpaceX is the most valuable private company in the world, the funding round could push OpenAI up to second spot alongside Chinese tech giant ByteDance. OpenAI currently ranks as the third-most valuable private tech firm.

Talks between OpenAI and SoftBank are ongoing, which means details around the the round size and valuation are subject to change. If the AI juggernaut hits its target valuation of $300 billion, it would nearly double its current valuation of $157 billion.

SpaceX's valuation is around $350 billion after the Elon Musk-owned company agreed to buy back $1.25 billion worth of stock at $185 a share in December. ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, similarly catapulted its valuation to $300 billion following a buyback offer, offering investors a price of about $180 per share, the Wall Street Journal reported in November.

OpenAI could become one of three companies globally with a centibillion valuation; Stripe and Shein follow suit with valuations of $70 billion and $66 billion, respectively.

Prior to SoftBank's latest investment talks, OpenAI raised nearly $20 billion from investment heavyweights, including Thrive Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Nvidia.

If SoftBank invests $15 to $20 billion into OpenAI, it would overtake Microsoft — which has poured around $13 billion into the company so far — as OpenAI's lead investor.

Such a deal would mark the most significant bet yet on the generative AI boom from SoftBank and form a key part of the wider ambitions of its billionaire founder, Masayoshi Son, to usher in an era of "artificial super intelligence."

Son, who made his original fortune from a timely bet on Alibaba in the dot-com era, has previously spoken about his nonstop use of OpenAI's ChatGPT, and predicted AI that is 10,000 times smarter than humans will arrive by the midpoint of the next decade.

A fresh investment from SoftBank would also further deepen its relationship with OpenAI after the companies announced plans last week to form Stargate, a joint venture that aims to spend up to $500 billion on AI infrastructure projects in the US over the next four years.

SoftBank's Son will serve as chairman of the project, which was unveiled at the White House by President Donald Trump. Initial equity funders include Oracle and the UAE's MGX alongside SoftBank and OpenAI. The project will begin deploying $100 billion immediately, according to OpenAI.

It is not yet clear where the companies will source the capital from, with OpenAI currently lossmaking. It has been suggested that SoftBank's proposed equity investment could allow OpenAI to invest around $15 billion in Stargate.

SoftBank declined to comment. OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Business Insider request for comment.

• There have been 66 album of the year winners since the first Grammys ceremony in 1959.
• Taylor Swift made history in 2024 as the first person to win album of the year four times.
• Beyoncé, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Billie Eilish are among those nominated this year.

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday in Los Angeles. 

Every nominee hopes to clinch the top prize of the night: album of the year. The coveted prize has previously gone to Hollywood icons like Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and The Beatles, and is always the last award of the night to be announced.

In 2024, Taylor Swift took the prize and made history as the first person to win album of the year four times. She previously tied with Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, and Paul Simon, who all hold three album of the year wins. 

Swift could break her own record again this year for most album of the year wins if "The Tortured Poets Department" takes home the award.

However, she's got strong competition in the category. Grammy darlings Billie Eilish and Beyoncé, as well as pop superstars Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX, whose hit songs "Espresso" and "360" dominated pop culture this summer, are all nominated. Another nominee, Chappell Roan, has had a standout year, with six Grammy nominations to show for it. Rounding out the category are the multi-talented André 3000 and Jacob Collier, whom BI's Callie Ahlgrim called "dark horses in a pop-heavy album of the year contest."

Electronics, avocados, vegetables, cars, tractors, crude oil — these are some of the things that could soon get more expensive for US consumers. Under President Donald Trump’s proposed plan, goods coming in from Mexico and Canada will be subject to a 25 percent tariff beginning on February 1st. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has also said Trump was “very much still considering” tariffs on China on the same day. As of late Thursday, the specifics of these plans were still up in the air.

Sweeping tariffs were one of Trump’s marquee campaign promises leading up to the election in November. He’s previously threatened up to a 60 percent tariff on goods from China, a 100 percent tariff on goods from Mexico, and even a 200 percent tariff on John Deere products imported into the US. Despite this, Trump failed to levy any tariffs on day one of his presidency, with Bloomberg reporting on Thursday that his administration lacked even concepts of a plan. His first round is now supposed to hit goods from Mexico and Canada, the two largest trade partners for the US.

In 2022, around $1.8 trillion of goods and services moved between countries under the current United St …
