It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Part two, Just the bits.

[Scuba Steve]

What's up, friends and happy weekend. I'm excited that you're here to catch up on the Bobby Boneshow from this week. Well, part one and part three this weekend are with Scuba Steve, or as I like to call him, Scoobs. And part one is always about life, updates, things going on in our lives. We just sit and have a conversation for an hour. And part three is always listener questions. You ask, we answer. Other than that, that's the only details I have for you today. So let's get into catching up from the show this week. All right, so there's a celebrity softball game that happens every year, and there's a billboard up about it. And Eddie thinks that Lunchbox might be mad about what's on that billboard number seven.

[Morgan]

There's a billboard? You saw the billboard for the softball game coming up?

[Eddie]

Yeah, you know the celebrity softball game. Folds of Honor, whether they do every year. And Lunchbox and Morgan always play.

[Morgan]

You guys playing?

[Scuba Steve]

I don't think we're Playing this year.

[Eddie]

Oh, why not?

[Lunchbox]

Still dicey, man.

[Morgan]

Oh, that wasn't why he was bringing this up.

[Lunchbox]

100. It was.

[Eddie]

No, it wasn't.

[Morgan]

No, it literally wasn't. He didn't know if you were playing or not.

[Lunchbox]

Then why would he bring it up?

[Morgan]

The honest reason is he was going to say you weren't on the billboard. He just expected you were playing.

[Eddie]

Yeah, there were people on the billboard, but you were not one of them. So I was going to make fun of you for that.

[Morgan]

But you always play. Yeah. What happened?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm not sure, man. I was looking at their Instagram the other day and they were announcing lineups and I have not seen my name on there.

[Morgan]

Wait, did you get asked to play?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Morgan]

Well, then you wouldn't see your name on there.

[Lunchbox]

No, but I thought that was their way of saying who they were asking to play. Like, this is.

[Morgan]

Oh, no, they would never just.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, they did. They even had a dream draft of people we dream would say yes. And they didn't have me on there either.

[Eddie]

But Lunchbox, how. How many years have you played this in a row?

[Lunchbox]

A lot, man.

[Morgan]

But don't you fight with. It's a charity. And don't you fight with them every year?

[Lunchbox]

I don't fight with them. I'm just annoyed with them.

[Eddie]

Annoyed at what?

[Lunchbox]

That they. This is how I get treated. Like I don't get asked. I'm like, every once in a while I'm a last minute fill in. But I have not heard a peep from folds of honor this year. Like nothing. Morgan and I, we hold their. We. Their big winter thing. What is it? Winter formal to raise money where the host MCs softball comes around and all of a sudden their email doesn't work.

[Morgan]

Do you email them? You emailed them?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I'm saying they obviously didn't work because they didn't send me anything. Oh, they didn't reach out?

[Morgan]

No. We didn't know that you hadn't been invited to play. He was literally going to be like, you play every year. Why don't they put you as a celebrity?

[Eddie]

Right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Since Lunchbox is such a big celebrity, why is he not on the billboard?

[Lunchbox]

If you go to their Instagram, they have all these player cards of like the people playing.

[Morgan]

Why did you fight with them? Last year I got.

[Lunchbox]

I was a replacement. Like at the very end, they're like, oh, you know, so and so canceled. You want to play?

[Morgan]

Maybe you'll be that this year.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I feel like I've earned The spot of not being a replacement. I feel like I should be there.

[Morgan]

Maybe if Yoda boy doesn't play, you'll get asked, man.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's pretty rough. Like right now they have Matt Best up there. Ashley Cook, Danae Hayes, Riley Green, Jay Cutler.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they were all in the Billboard.

[Morgan]

All those are famous people.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying I don't know who

[Morgan]

Matt Best is, but I don't know who Matt Best is either. Better. But if you told me, I'd be like, that's cool.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. But I mean, they have all this stuff up there.

[Morgan]

What were you fighting about the year before?

[Lunchbox]

The year before, they wanted me to be the PA announcer. Like the.

[Morgan]

That was your chance to make a

[Lunchbox]

tape for your dream job announcer. I'm sorry. Not, Not. Not whatever it's called. It was more like in between innings, trying to hype up. Hey, guys. Woohoo. Down here with Riley Green. Riley, how's the game going?

[Morgan]

I'm like, no, you want to do that?

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm not doing that. I'm there to play.

[Eddie]

You think they were mad at you for turning that down?

[Lunchbox]

Probably.

[Morgan]

Did you ever get to play that game?

[Lunchbox]

I did.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

They were like, oh, but you get announced and play. And I'm like, no, no, no, I need to be playing.

[Morgan]

Did you go one year and you didn't have a jersey or something?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I went and I showed up and there was no jersey, no nothing there. Oh, let us go get you a jersey. Very. Like, everybody had a nice setup with their name and like a gift bag and. You know what I mean? Like, nothing. I didn't even have a locker.

[Eddie]

You guys have lockers?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I mean, that's what he didn't. I'm saying they had it basically set up. Like everybody had a locker. In mine. There was nothing like, oh, let me find out what team you're on. They went and grabbed me a jersey out of the back.

[Morgan]

It was like, so this has been happening for years and finally it's just elevated to, you're not invited.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Oh, they just posted Priscilla Block. She'll be there right now.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Wow. Yeah.

[Eddie]

What about Morgan? Like, is Morgan. Same.

[Morgan]

Like, did you get invited, Morgan?

[Scuba Steve]

I didn't and I kind of anticipate. We played for several years, so I think they've been trying to switch out with some more celebrities and not have the same people every year. So I kind of felt it coming.

[Lunchbox]

I'm pretty sure Riley Green's been there every year.

[Scuba Steve]

Well.

[Amy]

Well, he's really growing and he's famous. Yes. And he's probably a really good athlete.

[Scuba Steve]

He's also one of the captains every year.

[Eddie]

So, Amy, you think that matters that he's a good athlete?

[Morgan]

Lunchbox has a testicle, allows him not even to walk. And he's upset that he can't play in the softball game.

[Amy]

I think. Of course it matters. You're a good athlete, doesn't it?

[Morgan]

Maybe they've heard your testicle story and they thought we don't want to bother them.

[Lunchbox]

No, they know better.

[Morgan]

Anything you want to say to the people organizing the softball game?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, the disrespect is felt. It is felt. I mean, it hurts, it's emotional, but, you know, what can you do?

[Morgan]

Move on.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, wait, did I make a picture on their Instagram? Is that me?

[Morgan]

Maybe that's an invent. More.

[Amy]

Yeah, we're both right there.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's blurry, though.

[Eddie]

That's you in the crowd.

[Morgan]

That's basically an invitation.

[Lunchbox]

No, they're showing a picture of. I think it's Chase Rice in the background over there standing there. And I'm saying safe.

[Eddie]

But you're still going to do the formal, right?

[Lunchbox]

The what?

[Eddie]

The winter formal thing when you do the.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I'm probably busy, man.

[Morgan]

Oh, your email don't work.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, my email does not work that time. Yeah.

[Morgan]

If they ask you to be a last minute fill in, will you on record.

[Lunchbox]

That's going to be a tough choice.

[Morgan]

On record.

[Lunchbox]

I'll probably do it.

[Morgan]

You probably would do it. Okay. You probably still do it. There you go.

[Lunchbox]

Holly Woodward. You don't think Salma Hayek and Winner Rider kind of like same era?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

All right.

[Lunchbox]

Selma Hayek is so hot, though. So hot.

[Morgan]

All right, two more. Moira Rose from Spitz Creek.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, what is her name?

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. Going downhill fast.

[Morgan]

Did Amy take the lead there or.

[Lunchbox]

No, me and Amy are tied.

[Morgan]

Okay, Eddie's one back. Moira Rose.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my God.

[Amy]

I know her from

[Morgan]

Splits Creek. We'll call it that. Three seconds.

[Eddie]

I'm in.

[Morgan]

Eddie, you can tie it if you get it.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Lunchbox]

Do you have it, Eddie?

[Eddie]

I'm in.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

All right.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox in for the win. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Deborah Lloyd.

[Morgan]

Incorrect. Amy.

[Amy]

I cannot think of her name. I wrote down Margaret, Margot.

[Morgan]

Eddie to tie it. Go to the final one. What do you have?

[Eddie]

I don't have it. I wrote down Eugenia Levy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's so.

[Morgan]

That's what.

[Lunchbox]

That's.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

What is it? She just passed away. Yep.

[Morgan]

Catherine o'.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Hara.

[Lunchbox]

Home alone.

[Amy]

Catherine.

[Lunchbox]

That was a tough one.

[Amy]

I mean, at this point, I'm cooked. I'm out of names.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa, whoa.

[Morgan]

Last one here. Rebecca Pearson from this is Us. Who played Rebecca Pearson on this Is Us? What, this ain't one of them shows you like?

[Lunchbox]

I didn't watch that show.

[Eddie]

I'm in for the win.

[Amy]

I'm in.

[Lunchbox]

Amy. Got it.

[Morgan]

Dang it.

[Lunchbox]

I'm gonna lose because I don't watch this crappy show.

[Eddie]

It's a good show, actually.

[Morgan]

It's a good show. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, what is her name? Have we ever had it on?

[Morgan]

Oh, Lunchbox, your answer.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on, hold on. Let me see.

[Morgan]

No, I need the answer. Three seconds.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Oh, I got it. I got it.

[Morgan]

Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Chrissy Met.

[Morgan]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Dang it.

[Morgan]

Eddie to tie.

[Lunchbox]

That's a.

[Eddie]

So Mandy Moore.

[Morgan]

That is correct.

[Lunchbox]

Dang it.

[Morgan]

Eddie has now tied it. Now Amy for the win.

[Amy]

Mandy Moore.

[Lunchbox]

Mandy Moore. My fault that I'm out here getting loose.

[Morgan]

Gotta blame it on a go.

[Lunchbox]

Gotta blame it on my.

[Morgan]

Good job. Good job. Bonus round real quick.

[Amy]

Sure.

[Morgan]

It's hard. These are hard. Peggy Bundy. Katie Seagal.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Carrie Heffernan from King of Queens.

[Amy]

Oh, Lisa.

[Morgan]

Leah Remini.

[Amy]

Leah Remini.

[Morgan]

Thelma Harper from Mama's Family.

[Amy]

Mmm. Henrietta.

[Morgan]

Vicky Lawrence. Anyway, she won't. Good job. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Scuba Steve]

Lunchbox was out in the wild. A department store, to be exact. And he saw a celebrity. He came back one of the show to guess who it was. And you'll find out right here.

[Morgan]

If we guessed it, number five Lunchbox has run into a celebrity in the wild, and he wants us try to guess who it is. But one time we did, this ended up being Mike D. Yeah. So where would you rate this celebrity on the scale of letter grades?

[Lunchbox]

I would say B plus. A minus.

[Morgan]

So somebody very famous.

[Lunchbox]

Very famous.

[Morgan]

Yes or no questions.

[Eddie]

Oh, gosh.

[Morgan]

We'll do 15 questions. Is it a man?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Morgan]

Amy,

[Amy]

is she married?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Married woman, celebrity.

[Scuba Steve]

K. Morgan, is she an actor?

[Lunchbox]

Not that I know of.

[Eddie]

Eddie, is she a singer? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She a singer?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay, so we got a married woman singer in Nashville that he saw.

[Eddie]

Did he say Nashville?

[Morgan]

Nobody saw it. Where is he gonna see her?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Where's he been?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Nowhere.

[Morgan]

Okay, let me ask that.

[Eddie]

I mean, do we waste that question?

[Morgan]

Is she over 40?

[Eddie]

Are you googling her?

[Lunchbox]

Not over 40?

[Morgan]

So the answer is no.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Morgan]

Okay, so she could be 40 or below.

[Amy]

Wait, did. Sorry, did we say singer?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Singer.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's five questions. Okay, we're one third of the way through.

[Amy]

Does she have brown hair?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Morgan,

[Scuba Steve]

is she in a band?

[Lunchbox]

Yes. Okay.

[Morgan]

It's Hillary Scott, huh?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Or like, I have a question.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Is she a country music singer?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay, so we can. Hillary Scott sounds like a good.

[Morgan]

Is she. Is she the lead singer of the band or one of them?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Amy,

[Amy]

Are there two other guys with her?

[Eddie]

Solid.

[Morgan]

Solid.

[Eddie]

Amy.

[Lunchbox]

No, there wasn't.

[Morgan]

No, no, no, no, not there. In the band.

[Eddie]

You know the question.

[Morgan]

You know the band. Are there two other guys with her in the band?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Okay, we nailed this one.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. We ready?

[Morgan]

It's Hillary Scott, lead singer. Lady A. Is it Hillary Scott?

[Lunchbox]

Yes. Yes.

[Eddie]

We got it.

[Lunchbox]

We kind of nailed that one, huh?

[Eddie]

Good job.

[Amy]

Good job, guys.

[Morgan]

Where'd you see her?

[Lunchbox]

I saw her at a. A department store, and she was buying jeans. I think she had, like, four pair of jeans in the bag.

[Morgan]

This is so weird.

[Lunchbox]

So weird.

[Eddie]

You were watching her buy jeans?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, she just had to look in the bag. She happened to be in line right in front of me, and I saw the bag. It was, like, in her right hand. I think I snapped a pic of her, and I looked, and there was a bunch of jeans in the bag. So. Yeah, didn't talk to her because she had her back to me, and I want to tap her on the shoulder and be like, hey, Hillary. So I just.

[Morgan]

She didn't recognize you?

[Lunchbox]

Well, she had her back to me,

[Morgan]

but she's not playing this game with her Friends being like, guess what celebrity I saw.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I don't think she saw me. I don't think you turn around and look at who's behind you in line.

[Morgan]

I think you look at your surroundings. Maybe she saw you, but just didn't know who you were.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe. But yeah. Hillary Scott, man. Pretty cool.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

[Eddie]

She paid for her jeans in front of you?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, she paid for her jeans in front of me.

[Eddie]

Credit card, cash.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, credit card put on the car. Nice credit card. Looked like a nice credit card. Look, very thick.

[Eddie]

It wasn't broken or anything.

[Amy]

Metal.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Like a metal one? Kind of.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Do you see the price of all four of the jeans?

[Lunchbox]

Did not see the price.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I wish I would have known how much those jeans were. But, hey, maybe she. And then I wondered. Then I started thinking, does Hillary Scott just go in here and buy a bunch of stuff and then take it home and try it on? Or are those four jeans? Like, she found a pair she likes, so she buys four pairs so she can have just a bunch of jeans.

[Eddie]

That's what you thought?

[Lunchbox]

Absolutely.

[Eddie]

You think.

[Morgan]

Did you watch her go to her car?

[Lunchbox]

Not because I know I was in line.

[Eddie]

Did you get a picture of her?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I got a picture of her.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

But my doing what? Getting her bag and about to walk out, like, so I could see the. I saw the jeans in the bag. I got a picture of her.

[Morgan]

That's so weird.

[Lunchbox]

Why?

[Morgan]

That you would just take a picture of somebody from behind. Remember when Lauren Elena was eating at Chipotle?

[Lunchbox]

We don't talk about that. He took a picture of her.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

And it's like, go up and talk to her.

[Eddie]

Why don't we talk about that?

[Morgan]

We know her.

[Eddie]

She got mad.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Because people don't like that, though. You understand that?

[Lunchbox]

What, taking a picture of him?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Morgan]

No, you took a picture from behind, and I think she was in yoga pants or something. And you're like, look, jacket. Look. It was just weird.

[Lunchbox]

But it wasn't. It wasn't like a. Look at this. It was just. Look, I saw Lauren Elena. It was nothing like that. And same thing with Hillary Scott. Like, does Hillary Scott go in the dressing room?

[Eddie]

What are you. Why are you wondering this?

[Lunchbox]

Like, you don't worry. You don't wonder about that when they go close. Oh, I. I mean, that's a very interesting question.

[Morgan]

Like, I find Hillary Scott to be as famous as. Lady A is one of the more normal celebrities.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like, my dog peed on her once at. Because we would Take Eller to board in the daytime only like, if we had, like, people coming over that were doing construction because she just bark, bark, bark. So we would take her for a while and just board every day and. And Hillary would take our dog and Ella peed on her feet.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What a cool story.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't take a picture of it. Yeah. Okay.

[Morgan]

Anything else from your experience?

[Lunchbox]

No, that was it. And I think she was shopping alone. I didn't see anybody with her.

[Eddie]

Did you follow her to her car?

[Morgan]

No, I just.

[Eddie]

I asked that.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Morgan]

No, it's not out of the realm possibility, though.

[Eddie]

Right, Right.

[Morgan]

But okay. Thank you, Electrobox. Good job, team. We nailed that.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two,

[Scuba Steve]

if you've been following the show the last couple of weeks, then you know that the testosterone challenge happened between Lunchbox and Eddie. And then the follow up was that Eddie's results came back and he has the lower T. Because of that, in the whole segment, he's now been getting reached out to by some companies who might want to pay him.

[Morgan]

Number four, low T companies are hitting Eddie up.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Morgan]

For his low testosterone.

[Eddie]

Isn't that cool?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, I feel like this is a positive spin to this. I've been down for days about all this, and then I check my DMs, and there's companies, just like dozens of them, being like, hey, you want to try our product? We'll send you pills, we'll do injections, all this stuff. And I'm thinking, hey, wait a second. Should I be the face of low T?

[Lunchbox]

You are.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You can't fight that.

[Lunchbox]

You already kind of already are.

[Morgan]

No, but, like, officially, yeah, I was the face of young hemorrhoids. I got a hemorrhoid training for triathlon and I embraced it.

[Eddie]

I mean, it is what it is, right? So might as well make the best out of it.

[Morgan]

If you missed the show. Eddie, wonderful to get retested after he lost to Lunchbox. And who had the higher testosterone. And Eddie's testosterone dropped again.

[Eddie]

It was lower even.

[Morgan]

It was lower. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Backslid.

[Morgan]

Anybody offering you money?

[Eddie]

Not yet. But, I mean, I can hit him back with like, hey, let's talk business.

[Morgan]

Endorsement opportunities.

[Eddie]

I can be the face of your company.

[Morgan]

Testosterone. Are you doing anything to get out of the low?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I started exercising. I started jumping the trampoline because Amy was talking about that.

[Amy]

But the big trampoline is not the same.

[Eddie]

What are you talking about?

[Amy]

It's different than a rebounder.

[Eddie]

It's Amy Said jump on a trampoline. So I'm in the backyard jumping on a trampoline.

[Amy]

A mini.

[Morgan]

I mean, that's exercise. But what she's talking about is not when people say they're jumping on a trampoline. It's a small. It's a rebounder. One of the little ones, it's more firm.

[Eddie]

You have one of those in your gym?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay. Because if I feel so stupid in this trampoline in the backyard, dude, my neighbors are looking at me like, what is this grown man doing on a trampoline?

[Amy]

You need to lift.

[Morgan]

Go to the doctor.

[Eddie]

I feel like.

[Lunchbox]

Let me.

[Eddie]

I have a. I have a blood work scheduled for, like, four months from now, so.

[Morgan]

What the.

[Amy]

You could be feeling so much better.

[Morgan]

Better in four months? You had two blood works done.

[Eddie]

Let's. Let me finish. I'm gonna work towards that. And if I feel better while I'm doing squats, eating sweet potatoes and yams, like, maybe I can just do it all by myself.

[Morgan]

You told us you were weight training, like, three months ago, and you weren't.

[Eddie]

That's not true. I was.

[Morgan]

Okay, then why then? What are you doing now?

[Eddie]

Well, I mean, I wasn't weight training.

[Morgan]

You said you were working out at the Y, like, lifting weights.

[Eddie]

Ye. Working out, but not with weights.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox has a list. Lunchbox, what's your list?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, these are celebrities that have been treated for low t. I didn't want Eddie to feel like he was alone, like, you know what I mean? Like, I'd made fun of him, told him he's going to go to the gynecologist, and now I'm like, okay, the jokes are over. It's really serious, Eddie's health. So I wanted to give him some celebrities he could relate to.

[Eddie]

Here we go.

[Morgan]

We've kind of done this a bit.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You had man, manly men on that list.

[Morgan]

Okay, go ahead. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Number one, Kate Winslet. See, she credited testosterone therapy for revitalizing her libido and managing symptoms at the age of 48.

[Eddie]

Libido is not my problem.

[Morgan]

Yeah, sure, buddy. Next.

[Lunchbox]

Halle Berry went on a podcast, and she said she takes testosterone after initial hesitation because she had fatigue associated with menopause. Eddie might be experiencing the same.

[Morgan]

Maybe you have perimenopause right now, like Amy. Yeah. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

She said she was blown away by the effects of taking the testosterone to get her levels back up.

[Eddie]

Great.

[Morgan]

One more.

[Lunchbox]

Jane Fonda admitted to using testosterone to boost her libido, even writing about it in her book.

[Morgan]

What were you going to say? Were you going to try to say the M word? What, in her book?

[Lunchbox]

I was going to try to say the name of her book, but it was on the next line and I missed it. It was called Prime Time.

[Morgan]

I think he was going to try to say memoir and he backed out of it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's in the name of her book is Prime Time, But I couldn't. Yeah.

[Amy]

Her memoir.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Morgan]

Eddie. So you're like Jane Fonda, Halle Berry and Kate Winslet.

[Eddie]

Winslet and me.

[Amy]

He's like.

[Morgan]

And Amy.

[Eddie]

Amy, yeah.

[Morgan]

Why don't you go to the doctor and just get it fixed instead of.

[Eddie]

I want to see what I can do first. See if I can do it naturally by pumping iron and eating better.

[Morgan]

You're not going.

[Amy]

You can. It's just going to go at a slower pace. You might as well just get, like, a jump start. Why not?

[Morgan]

You're not going to be.

[Lunchbox]

You're way behind. You're way behind. Like, you think that it's. It's been going down for years, dude. You're down there in the danger level, man.

[Morgan]

It went down two days from one. One blood test to the other. It dropped.

[Eddie]

No, it could. We took it at the same time. So it could totally be the time of day that we're taking.

[Amy]

Same time of day, but not same day.

[Eddie]

I'm saying same time, though.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

My body just probably does the same thing.

[Amy]

You have more tea in the morning.

[Morgan]

Eddie's being offered free stuff by low companies.

[Amy]

We haven't been out of money yet.

[Morgan]

Okay. Keep us. Keep us in. In the know you got. I would advise you to go to the doctor, okay? Because you're not going to lift weights. I know you. You're not going to. You're really not going to.

[Eddie]

Remember we used to pump.

[Morgan]

Yeah, because I'd pay for it and you would come over and I'd force you to do it. You committed?

[Amy]

I am not joking about Eddie seeing my doctor. I know she's a gynecologist, but I'm not doing that.

[Morgan]

I tell you. That's a great. Do it for the show.

[Lunchbox]

No, we're not doing it.

[Eddie]

I'm not spreading my legs.

[Amy]

Let me ask her. You won't have to spread your legs. Let me ask her if she ever works with men. Because she has a pharmaceutical background. She. Hormone replacement therapy has become her niche. Like, she could go to the gynecologist, take him on.

[Eddie]

Is she in my network?

[Amy]

She's in my network, so she must be in yours.

[Morgan]

You know, they think there's some kind of fraud. If Eddie is going to the gynecologist and charging the insurance.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Insurance is going to be like, no way.

[Amy]

Okay, I'm going to look into that.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Just ask.

[Amy]

I mean, maybe she'll even come meet with him so you don't have to, like, go in and feel like you're a girl. Maybe she would come.

[Morgan]

Would you be open?

[Eddie]

Oh, spread my legs.

[Amy]

No, no. Maybe if she came here and talked

[Eddie]

to you on air. Yeah, that sounds really fun, guys.

[Morgan]

On air. Off air, she might be like, don't worry. It's your health.

[Eddie]

I know, but you guys laugh at me, like, well, you said, don't worry.

[Morgan]

You wanted to do the segment, but not. But now you're paying the price because you lost. Had Lunchbox lost, this would have been happening to him, and you'd have been all part of it.

[Eddie]

You're doubling down. You're bringing a gynecologist to the studio to talk to me. I mean, and you're laughing right now

[Morgan]

about it, but no shame in health.

[Amy]

This might be something she would never even consider. I have no idea. But let's just say she's like, sure, I can work that into my schedule. What would you say?

[Eddie]

I'll think about it.

[Morgan]

I. I can think about it. I'd like to bring them. I like to bring her on and talk to her if she'd like to come in.

[Eddie]

I might be sick that day.

[Morgan]

Okay. Probably because your teeth so low you

[Lunchbox]

can't get out of bed.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Scuba Steve]

This is one for all the men out there. The guys on the show got a little vulnerable, and they talked about the hardships of being a man.

[Morgan]

Number three, the things men say they hate about being a man. So I have a list here. So I want to go to the guys. Like, what do you think is the hardest thing about being a man? That possibly.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Amy]

I'm just curious. I can't wait to see what y' all are gonna say.

[Morgan]

Judge before they even said, these could actually be hard things that you don't know.

[Eddie]

And we're being. And we're being honest here.

[Amy]

Amy, I want you to be.

[Morgan]

Do you want us to be vulnerable?

[Amy]

Yeah, I do. I just think I would never make it as women.

[Scuba Steve]

You don't even know.

[Lunchbox]

We're gonna say.

[Morgan]

We can say you'd never make it as a man.

[Eddie]

And we're not gonna say, like, we're not gonna answer stuff like, oh, we want to be A woman.

[Morgan]

Dang hater. She's. She's already polluting the water here.

[Amy]

Okay, go, go, go.

[Morgan]

Okay. Things men say is hard about being a man. Eddie, you wanna go first?

[Eddie]

Yeah, easy. Go, man. Just making money. Being the one to make money is tough.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Everyone, you have that down Lunchbox?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that was my number one. Paying for everything, you know what I mean? Like, oh, you want to go on a date? Oh, guy has to pay. What? Why? Man, it's tough.

[Eddie]

We have this expectation, you know, of, like, you're the man. You got to make the money. And it's like. It's a lot of pressure.

[Amy]

Yeah, I can see how that's hard.

[Lunchbox]

I got another one.

[Morgan]

I don't. And.

[Lunchbox]

But.

[Morgan]

But to be fair, I don't think that is universal.

[Amy]

No. Because I'm a woman and I make money.

[Morgan]

Amy was the breadwinner.

[Amy]

Well, you don't. What?

[Morgan]

What?

[Lunchbox]

In general, you worry me.

[Amy]

What?

[Eddie]

Hey, that's cool.

[Amy]

What?

[Morgan]

What? What?

[Lunchbox]

See?

[Eddie]

See, that's. And that's another thing that's hard about being a man. Sometimes your wife makes more money than

[Lunchbox]

you, and you see where it leads you.

[Morgan]

I don't know if that's the case. Next up, lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Dealing with women's emotions. I mean.

[Morgan]

No, no, no. About being a man. That.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. You're a man, so you had to put up with their emotions. And it's like. It's very hard, like, trying to figure out what they're thinking because they say one thing, then they act crazy. I mean, that is really difficult.

[Morgan]

I feel like you're using this. Take a shot at women.

[Lunchbox]

No, that's being. That's difficult, being a man. Having to read women's emotions because they're all over the map.

[Morgan]

Then what if you're a woman with a woman and she has to deal with the woman's emotions?

[Lunchbox]

Women know, like, they can deal with women's emotions better. They relate more. They have the same kind of feeling.

[Morgan]

Why do you keep saying what to everything? You're just confused at everything.

[Amy]

Because I think it just.

[Eddie]

No, he makes a good point, though.

[Morgan]

No, he doesn't. I don't even want to co. Sign that. See what I mean?

[Amy]

Like, I thought they were gonna be like.

[Eddie]

Like a woman.

[Amy]

Sweaty testicles.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

Right.

[Eddie]

A woman can understand another woman. A man can't sometimes just can't understand another woman.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, okay, I got another one.

[Morgan]

Okay. I haven't given any of mine, but I'll let these guys get it out of their system.

[Lunchbox]

Go Ahead is, you know, approaching women because you can, like at a bar. You know what I mean? Like, you either look like a creep or they're. You know what I mean? Like, it's very weird.

[Morgan]

It's like, that's all personal.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Even, like, being, like, perceived as a threat. Unfairly.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Girl in a parking garage. You want to talk to her? No.

[Morgan]

No, I don't think you should do

[Eddie]

it in a parking garage at night.

[Amy]

We always have to be on guard,

[Lunchbox]

but that's what I'm saying. What if you see a hottie in the parking garage and this is the only time you might see her in your life, and you want to go up to her and it's like, ah, it's probably frowned upon. It's tough as a guy when you're going to approach him, when not to approach.

[Amy]

So it's difficult being the sex. That's the main type of predator.

[Lunchbox]

Well, that was.

[Amy]

Y' all are the same sex.

[Eddie]

That word.

[Lunchbox]

Most.

[Morgan]

We don't want to jump in the predator world.

[Amy]

I'm not saying y' all are, but y' all have the most in common with predators.

[Morgan]

Okay. Eddie, anything else?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I have one. I think it's hard to always assume that we're going to be stronger. Like, I can't open this pickle.

[Morgan]

Pressure to be strong, I think is. Is something that is unfairly, quote, masculine. Yes. What?

[Eddie]

Like my wife.

[Amy]

We all want to be stronger.

[Morgan]

We're taught we have to be. You don't think we're taught that.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you want to be able to open the jar.

[Morgan]

We want to be because we're told we should be.

[Amy]

Right.

[Morgan]

That is societal.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

We're having. Men are having an emotional moment here.

[Eddie]

That's right. We're being open.

[Amy]

And yeah, you're conditioned.

[Morgan]

But anything else. Lunchbox man.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty much it. Oh, you know. You know, another one is hard. Is always driving. You know what I mean? Like, you can't. The women can't drive because they're not very good. So the man is the one that's responsible for driving the vehicle.

[Morgan]

I wife. My wife drives a decent amount. I mean, I get car segment. She still drives a decent amount.

[Lunchbox]

Well, we're talking about men.

[Morgan]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Being hard being a man. So. Yes. That's why it's tough, because it's. The guy has to Drive. Road Trip 99 of the driving is up to the man.

[Amy]

Well, that's your choice.

[Lunchbox]

No, Amy, when I rode with you, I mean, I would ride with you to Austin. I Let you drive. And I couldn't nap because it was too scary. I mean, it was just like, why am I letting her drive?

[Morgan]

She's rumble. Okay. Mine was a little more simple, even practical.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Morgan]

Men. Male pattern baldness. Like, it's something you really can't affect. Guys get. Guys go bald, and it sucks for them.

[Amy]

Yeah, but not you.

[Eddie]

But men.

[Morgan]

But men in general, it sucks. Every guy worries about it. Okay, so that's something that's harder for men. So I.

[Eddie]

That's a good one.

[Morgan]

You started the segment.

[Amy]

Me? I did.

[Morgan]

With hate in your heart.

[Amy]

I did not.

[Eddie]

You're like, I want to hear what you have to say.

[Amy]

Yeah, because I'm like, y' all wouldn't even be able to handle a monthly cycle or being pregnant.

[Eddie]

But we're not asking to do all that.

[Amy]

Or every week you're a different person.

[Morgan]

Hey, this feels oddly personal, too, because we have, like, when you go up to somebody, they think you're a creep at a bar, and all did was grow.

[Amy]

And we have four different phases of our cycle, and every phase is so different.

[Eddie]

And that's what Lunchbox is talking about. You expect us to understand that?

[Amy]

It's not that hard to learn.

[Morgan]

I can read you some of these.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

On the list, grooming hassles, having to shave constantly and dealing with excessive or random body hair.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

The shaving the face thing is annoying. As someone who shaves their face. Well, I shave my face almost every day. Yeah, but yours is little peach fuzz in your legs. Assumptions.

[Amy]

Laser hair removal.

[Morgan]

Yeah, she has laser hair removal assumptions about trying to hook up all the time. Like, you think every guy's trying to hook up all the time.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we're not, like, intent. Like, if we see you in a parking garage, we just want to say hi.

[Morgan]

Especially at night.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Expected to handle the gross stuff. Men are the default person for physically or emotionally unpleasant tasks. Social. Social isolation or lack of support. Few close friendships. Where vulnerability feels safe. Lack of emotional care. Feeling like no one checks in unless anger is involved.

[Amy]

Oh, do you all feel that way?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Pressure to always be strong. Being perceived as a threat. Which Lunchbox said. And emotional suppression and conditional worth. Feeling valued only for productivity and expected to hide emotions at all costs.

[Eddie]

Amen.

[Amy]

Yeah, but now we know more. So it's sort of like, you can't. This isn't. We know that men are conditioned to, or have been in the past to suppress emotions. Like, oh, don't cry. But now you know. So, like, now you're making a cognitive choice to continue to suppress. You've got to start practicing releasing the emotions.

[Morgan]

This is generational conditioning. You don't just erase because you read one article from Wives Illustrated, you know, yeah, we could give us time in like seven generations. We'll have it figured out. Yeah, we'll all be dead, but yeah, okay, you'll still be calling us a predator.

[Amy]

I said, you're the same sex as them. Women can be predators too.

[Morgan]

That's Amy's book. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two,

[Scuba Steve]

Our I Heart country festival happened in Austin last weekend. And there's always stories that come out of a weekend when we're together for 48 hours. And that's exactly what happened. So here's a bunch of stories that not only involve us, but also some country stars.

[Morgan]

Number two, our I Heart country festival was this past weekend in Austin. It's a great time. We have some notes from the festival. Amy is wondering if it's lunchbox or if it's Daniel whenever he's doing these events, because you saw what.

[Amy]

Yeah, so we were taping stuff for Hulu and there's a whole crew working for Hulu, like a little production team. And this one guy had on a pleather jacket. And all of a sudden I hear lunchbox, look at the guy and he goes, dude, that jacket is incredible. And I thought, incredible, like that this is quote. Like, I just had to pull it up to look at my quote because I emailed myself immediate. When it happened, I had my phone and I was like, dude, that jacket is incredible. Word for word. Uh, and I thought, huh, that's interesting. Cause that's not like a lunchbox thing to say. So Daniel must have been showing up in that moment.

[Eddie]

Interesting.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, no, I was just trying to make small talk with the guy and didn't know what to talk about. And he had a different looking jacket. So I just said something about his

[Amy]

picture of black pleather with hood.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, the jacket looked cool. Did I really want the jacket? No. Did I want.

[Morgan]

You said it was incredible.

[Amy]

He said, dude, that jacket is incredible.

[Eddie]

So you lied about that?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I lied about it for sure. Didn't want anything to do with jacket.

[Morgan]

So you're being Lunchbox now, but you're being Daniel?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I was just like, that's crazy.

[Amy]

It sounded sincere.

[Lunchbox]

I wasn't sincere. I didn't care about the jacket.

[Amy]

You could small talk and be like, hey, having a good night?

[Morgan]

Yeah, how's it going?

[Amy]

How's it going?

[Morgan]

Yeah, how's it Been going so far.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, where do you live? Like, is not everybody there?

[Lunchbox]

He obviously really was proud of the jacket because he was the only one wearing something that was, like, different. Everybody else was wearing, like, a black hoodie that was working in the crew, and he wore a special, like, jacket. So special.

[Amy]

Incredible.

[Eddie]

Incredible.

[Morgan]

That's nice of you to talk about his clothing. That's. That's sweet. Daniel. Daniel with a. With Eddie. You noticed he can't see it all.

[Amy]

Yeah. So same thing. We're over in the Hulu section, and there's a teleprompter and we have, like, we're live and our first take, our first hit. It's Eddie's turn to talk. Like, I'm done talking, I think. I look over. We had an artist with us. I look at the artist, and then it's Eddie's line. Nothing's coming out of his mouth. So it's dead. Like dead air on a live hit. And I, like, nudge Eddie with my microphone, and all of a sudden he's like, oh, oh. And then he says whatever he's supposed to say. And then Fast forward like 30 minutes, we have another hit. And Eddie looks at me before we go live, and he's like, hey, if for whatever reason, you don't hear me talking. And so he's like, cause I can't see that it's my turn. And so then I was worried about Eddie's vision, and I'm like, he can't see the prompter.

[Eddie]

Man. There were even times when they're like, hey, do you want to pre read? And they have this little iPad. And I'd be like, dude, I can't see that. Like, I need my glasses. So, yeah, the prompter is kind of an issue for me.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's definitely. I don't think he should do the live hits if we can.

[Eddie]

No, we just need to make the font bigger.

[Morgan]

Those screens are tiny. You can't. It's like one letter of screen, you

[Eddie]

know, like on your phone, you can make the font really big. That's what I need.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Eddie felt bad for Lunchbox.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Oof.

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude, There was a. There was a. He was. I don't know where he got it from. It is a lolly, like some popsicle. And I thought it was funny the way he was eating the popsicle.

[Morgan]

He was going hard on it like

[Eddie]

he was a 6 year old. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, Sucking on the popsicle. So I got my phone out and I shot a video. What I didn't realize is he was kind of sitting back and his belly was just massive. He looked like an old chubby man eating a Popsicle. And I realized that was bad, so I deleted the video.

[Amy]

You realized it on your own?

[Morgan]

No, I told him. I was like. I was like, hey, that ain't good.

[Amy]

No, I remember right when I saw it. I look at Bobby and I'm like, eddie just did lunchbox dirty.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah. And I said, eddie, you did lunchbox dirty.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you both said that.

[Lunchbox]

See, I don't understand why you deleted it. Like, that was weird that I was doing you dirty.

[Morgan]

He was doing you dirty.

[Lunchbox]

I even reposted it in my story, like it wasn't a big deal.

[Eddie]

And so you thought you looked fine.

[Lunchbox]

No, I mean, did I look chubby? Yeah. Okay, but I mean, the angle. It looked weird, but, like, I don't care. Like. And that's why Eddie was like, I'm so sorry, man. I'm like, what? I reposted.

[Morgan]

We made him feel guilty because we wouldn't have posted something that we thought put anyone in unflattering light. Purposeful. It doesn't matter.

[Lunchbox]

It doesn't matter.

[Amy]

The filming. Lower from underneath. Nobody wants to be filmed from underneath.

[Eddie]

I was trying to be sly about it because I didn't want him to see me filming him eating the popsicle.

[Morgan]

He was also eating that popsicle. Angry like a little Chuck. He was going hard on it.

[Lunchbox]

I don't understand how you eat a pot. That's how you eat a popsicle. You suck on the popsicle.

[Eddie]

Even told him afterwards, like, hey, dude, you can just bite it off, you know, and enjoy.

[Morgan]

Well, I don't bite a popsicle.

[Lunchbox]

I can't bite it. My teeth. It. It hurts my teeth.

[Morgan]

But if you thought we were gonna talk about musical artists from my heart, country festival or not, and. And how. Great. Luke and Kane. No, no, this is all. It's Eddie can't see lunchboxes. Daniel lunchbox Popsicle eating.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

We have Jerry on in Pennsylvania. Jerry called us pre festival because he won the trip to come to festival. Do you guys remember Jerry? Jerry. Hello.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Good morning.

[Morgan]

How was the show for you?

[Lunchbox]

Absolutely outstanding.

[Morgan]

And if you don't mind me just saying, I'd like to do a shout out to my two local stations. Bob 94.9 out of Harrisburg, and Bill, 95 out of Williamsport, because we're geographically between the two of them, so we can catch you two different ways. That's awesome. What'd you love about the show?

[Lunchbox]

Absolutely everything. Number one, I heart Treated us four stars with everything.

[Morgan]

And then getting the opportunity to meet

[Lunchbox]

the crew and then meeting you downstairs

[Morgan]

outside the dressing rooms. And you were all most generous with your time.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, to the point where I had to remind you that you've got

[Morgan]

a show to put on. Yeah. Jerry and his wife came down to the dressing room for a little bit, hung out, and.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they were nice. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Super cool. I'm so happy that you won, and I'm glad the experience. Although I'm always confused. What's. Is four star the best or is five star?

[Amy]

I think. I think five, four star for him right now. He's describing best because the most stars, four star restaurant, four star Uber is five stars.

[Morgan]

We need a. Like a universal system.

[Eddie]

So does he mean four out of five?

[Morgan]

Yeah. Is it four out of five, Jerry, or four out of four?

[Lunchbox]

Four out of four.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Thank God.

[Morgan]

Got it. Because we gotta get that fifth star then.

[Lunchbox]

Awesome.

[Morgan]

Well, I'm glad you guys had a great time and travel was good. Got back home. You weren't on Spirit or anything, right?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, actually, American treated us much

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

better coming home than they did coming out.

[Amy]

Okay. They made up for it.

[Morgan]

There you go. All right, Jerry, have a great. Well, have a good start of the week and really good to meet you and your wife. Appreciate it. Thank you again. All right, see you later. Let's go over to Rain in Illinois, who is listening on the show. Hey, Rain, you're on the show. Hello.

[Amy]

Hey, morning, studio.

[Morgan]

Morning.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that is so cool.

[Morgan]

So I had a question for Eddie. I just wanted to know if he's not going to be able to do the spill the tea segment since he doesn't have any. Sorry, Eddie, you can't do spill the tea since you have no tea, as in testosterone. Wow, that's pretty funny.

[Lunchbox]

That's actually a funny comment, man.

[Eddie]

You know how many people came up to me and I heart country, saying like, hey, how's the tea going? That tea still low.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, guys so mad when you make jokes about it. We were going to the metal detector went off, and I was like, oh, that's a sign of low T. And he's like, dude, why do you have to do that? Like, they don't.

[Morgan]

Is that embarrassing for you? Yeah.

[Eddie]

All the security guys are like, wow, a low T. Really? Dang, man. Yeah, let's just move on. All right, I'm working on it.

[Morgan]

Hey, play me voicemail 1. Raymundo, Eddie and Lunchbox just did a tease for Russell Dickerson.

[Lunchbox]

And the commercial after that was for him.

[Morgan]

And they talked about having low T and it was perfect timing. Thought you'd get a take out of that.

[Eddie]

Now the company's like doubling down on it. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Thank you guys for if you watch this weekend or listened. Really great show. If you were there. Really great show. I appreciate that. You want to call us? You can 877-77-Bobby.

[Lunchbox]

It's the best bits of the week

[Morgan]

with Morgan number two.

[Scuba Steve]

For the last several days there have been teasers among teasers about somebody on the show getting a life changing surprise. Well, it finally got revealed who was getting the surprise and the surprise itself. Very exciting stuff. And I will say it is life changing.

[Morgan]

Number one, somebody's about to get a super secret surprise. That is life changing. It started, everybody was in the mix. Now there's only two people. It's gonna be lunchbox ready.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

This is amazing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, let's go.

[Eddie]

Our life lunchbox is gonna be changed. Right now.

[Morgan]

My life is one of your lives. I got it. You got it?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I know what it is.

[Morgan]

You okay? Let's take a little shot here. What do you think it is?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I've been applying for jobs last few years with sports teams, trying to be the voice of a sports team. And so Bobby said he could pull some strings to get this to happen. So I think Bobby pulled some strings and I get a one day trial run as being the voice of one of the local sports teams. Yes.

[Morgan]

I don't think I said I could pull strings.

[Lunchbox]

You said some strings were pulled.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Oh.

[Amy]

For this.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I. I don't know that I could pull strings to get you a job somewhere. No, no.

[Lunchbox]

I think it was like a one day. Like.

[Amy]

Or like maybe he's the. What do they call the understudy.

[Morgan]

Oh. He goes and sits beside him, learns

[Amy]

like in case someone's sick, he gets a fill in.

[Morgan]

Eddie, what do you think it is for you?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. So I thought all these things, right. But now I'm thinking that I've talked about when I got a passport to go explore Europe and go like to Paris. You talk about how you love.

[Morgan]

That's what Amy says.

[Amy]

It's my dream.

[Morgan]

You not said that.

[Lunchbox]

Never said that.

[Eddie]

You're right. I really don't know what it is. Do I really? I've been thinking. I cannot think of anything of how you're going to change my life today.

[Amy]

Does that make you wonder if they even deserve it? Because they're not. They don't even know what they want.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean? I've been. I've had something every day. Eddie can't come up with three things.

[Eddie]

I thought it was going to be a boat. I really thought it was going to be a boat.

[Morgan]

And not going to be a boat.

[Lunchbox]

It's not a boat.

[Morgan]

So I'll tell you who is going to get their life changing surprise first before you find out what it is. Drum roll please.

[Lunchbox]

See you lunch. I'm not going anywhere.

[Eddie]

See you, dude.

[Morgan]

See? As in you're not getting.

[Eddie]

He's not getting it. Come on.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, there's only one reason he would give it to Eddie. Only one reason.

[Eddie]

What's that one reason?

[Lunchbox]

Because he feels bad for you.

[Amy]

Oh, because of his low teeth. Oh my gosh.

[Morgan]

What if it's bringing a bucket of tea? Testosterone, sealed bucket.

[Lunchbox]

Like it's a silver sympathy. Like, oh my gosh. My friend is, you know, feeling down because he has no tea.

[Eddie]

That would be weird. But. But cool in a way, right?

[Morgan]

Like, would you accept it if it was pity?

[Eddie]

Absolutely.

[Lunchbox]

Because that's the only way Eddie's getting it is out of pity and it

[Eddie]

would change my life.

[Amy]

That's true.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't say he was giving you tea. I saying he's going to give you something because you have low tea.

[Eddie]

Oh, no, I think now you're giving me tea in a bottle.

[Morgan]

I'm not giving you tea in a bottle.

[Eddie]

Dang it. Okay.

[Morgan]

No, no, no. It's. It's something significant.

[Lunchbox]

Oh my gosh.

[Morgan]

Okay. The person.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

That is getting the life changing.

[Lunchbox]

Life changing. Those words are like what is just like this is crazy.

[Eddie]

And it's not money. It's not money for sure.

[Amy]

Bobby, let us not forget this person asked for this.

[Morgan]

Yeah. It's something that has been begged for it.

[Lunchbox]

Begged for.

[Morgan]

It has been talked about. Like even maybe not in specific words, but you've wanted it.

[Eddie]

Like, has it been like a wish?

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's been a desire. For sure.

[Lunchbox]

A desire.

[Amy]

A desire. That's a good word.

[Morgan]

For sure. A desire.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe it's hair.

[Eddie]

Maybe it's hair. Maybe I'm getting hair.

[Lunchbox]

No, we already did that.

[Eddie]

I know, but like, I don't know.

[Morgan]

The person who is getting the surprise is.

[Lunchbox]

Come on.

[Eddie]

Come on.

[Morgan]

Boom.

[Lunchbox]

I thought you said my name. I saw the lips going and I was like, oh.

[Morgan]

He already said is.

[Eddie]

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

[Lunchbox]

Point at me. Point at me.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Idiot.

[Morgan]

Okay, so first of all, Eddie, it's not you. I'm sorry.

[Eddie]

That's fine. That's fine.

[Lunchbox]

That is what I'm Talking about boys

[Morgan]

and girls, you haven't guessed at all

[Lunchbox]

what it is, man.

[Amy]

Which is why it's so crazy, because you want this. You've asked for it.

[Morgan]

Walk us through the guesses that you've had so far.

[Lunchbox]

I thought it was going to be a casting person from Survivor and you said no. I thought I was going to go drive a Ferrari like on a racetrack or just like a rental for a day. Said no to that. And now I get to be the voice of a sports team, and you said no to that, man. So. Oh, my God.

[Morgan]

I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do one of the American Idol things. I'm like. After the break, we'll reveal what it is.

[Eddie]

Question real quick, though. Is it for Lunchbox or Daniel?

[Amy]

I mean, both.

[Eddie]

For both.

[Morgan]

For Lunchbox and Daniel, it's life. What was your thing?

[Amy]

Changing for both.

[Morgan]

Yes. What was your thing?

[Lunchbox]

Well, because.

[Morgan]

[Morgan]

It could be for you.

[Lunchbox]

You got me a car. Well, holy crap.

[Eddie]

You've been wanting a car.

[Lunchbox]

I have wanted a car. I have wanted a car.

[Eddie]

Because all you have is a bike now.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Amy]

Did you ride your bike this morning?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

How would you. How would you get your bike home if.

[Lunchbox]

Throw it in the trunk or I just leave it up here and my wife could bring me back and I'll ride it home another day.

[Morgan]

Okay. The. So it is Lunchbox. So first of all, Eddie, I'm sorry.

[Eddie]

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Morgan]

So I heard.

[Lunchbox]

In the parking garage.

[Morgan]

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. All right.

[Morgan]

A little bit earlier, we announced Lunchbox is getting the super secret surprise. It is Lunchboxes. It is Lunchbox's price to get. He's had some time to think about it. It's something he's asked for. Anything come to mind? Car. Okay. It is not a car.

[Lunchbox]

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Oh.

[Eddie]

Oh, you think it's him?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh. Oh.

[Amy]

Lunchbox, like, close his eyes. You have to touch it.

[Eddie]

Touch it.

[Lunchbox]

No, I ain't doing that. We're not doing a snake.

[Morgan]

You don't want to do it. Put your hand in a box.

[Lunchbox]

We're not doing a snake. I'm not doing a snake.

[Morgan]

Again, You've never desired a snake.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm saying. So I'm not. I'm not touching.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not touching random things. I could get me in trouble.

[Morgan]

I. I don't even think you need. You'd have to close your eyes.

[Lunchbox]

All right, thank you.

[Morgan]

Okay, so we're going to bring. Can we get a little music, please, to bring some.

[Amy]

Some, like, walk out music?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Eddie]

Are you rolling something in? What is it?

[Morgan]

Oh, I don't know, man. We just hit the button.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

There's only so much music we can play that's free. All right.

[Lunchbox]

What does that music have to do with.

[Eddie]

Sounds luxurious.

[Morgan]

Like a wrestling match.

[Lunchbox]

What is this tied to? What? It is like the music. Is it a hint?

[Morgan]

No, it's actually not. Okay. All right, here we go. Come on in. Come on in. Come on in. Have a seat, Doctor.

[Eddie]

What is that guy?

[Morgan]

Have a seat. That's your microphone right there. We're so happy you're here.

[Lunchbox]

Let's box that guy.

[Morgan]

This is Dr. Ethan Kellum, the NFL Tennessee Titans team physician who has come to check out your testicle.

[Lunchbox]

What up, dude?

[Morgan]

You've been asking for him. You wanted to get in with the Titans.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I'm needed.

[Lunchbox]

Well, hold on.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Is that true?

[Lunchbox]

When I Google the Titans, Doctor, it doesn't look like there's multiple. There's multiple.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I'm not the head guy. I'm one of their guys.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, what's up, my man?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

How you doing?

[Morgan]

This is Doctor.

[Lunchbox]

Good to see you.

[Morgan]

Hold on. This is Dr. Ethan Kellum. He is a sports medicine fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon leading the advancement of interventional and regenerative orthopedics in the greater Nashville area. He serves as a team physician for the Titans in the NFL USA Basketball, and has worked with the Boston Celtics.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa. This dude knows my body.

[Morgan]

He's gonna be able to do this. I seen some swollen testicles.

[Lunchbox]

Have you ever seen a swollen. Swollen unit?

[Eddie]

I have.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I think he's seen many units. Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Let's ask some questions.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah. First of all, Dr. Kellan, thank so much for being here.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah, thanks for having me.

[Morgan]

Like, we are so excited. We have been talking between us about his issues stomach and swollen testicle for months. Walk him through what you've been doing.

[Lunchbox]

Sit next to him.

[Morgan]

Well, just for now. I mean, you're good for now.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Morgan]

All right, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

So last June, right. I went for a run, probably about three or four mile run. And I got a sharp pain right here on the left side. I mean, I'm debilitating. And I was like, ah, man, it's just a sore muscle. Wait a couple days. Went for another run. And when I got done, I had to get to the bus stop. And it was two houses down, and it took me 30 minutes to walk to the bus stop.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Because I could not move ahead, you know? And so I was like, all right, I gotta stop running. But I still played soccer. Because I could still play soccer. But after the games, it would hurt. But it wasn't like debilitating.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And then the pain started spreading across the front underneath the belly button. Then eventually my left testicle, left tennis ball started getting swollen.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Throughout the day now.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Has it been swollen before?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Okay, so that's new.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. But then, like at nighttime, like when I go to sleep, it goes away, but then throughout the day, it comes back. And so I stopped playing soccer altogether. Stop running, thinking, okay, it's gonna heal itself. Well, it still ain't healed, man.

[Morgan]

Doctor.

[Lunchbox]

Doctor.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Man.

[Morgan]

Doctor. Have some respect.

[Lunchbox]

Dr. Kellum.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Dr. Kellum. Yes. You can call me Ethan.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I'm calling you Dr. Kellum. I'm gonna give respect because I like to be called doctor when I get on a plane too. So I. I don't know what is wrong with me. And I've been to, let me see 55, 000 doctors, and they all just say, I don't know. Nothing wrong with you. Did an mri, CT scan, I did ultrasound of the. The guys down there twice. I've done it all, and I don't know what's wrong with me. Like, I played a game two weeks ago.

[Morgan]

We should let the doctor talk a little bit. Eventually when you're good, just tap out whenever you're good.

[Lunchbox]

I'm trying to go over my diagnosis. And like, I played a game a couple weeks ago, and like in the middle of the game, I could feel the. The pain in the lower, like underneath the belly button starting to hurt. And after the game, it took me 30 minutes to walk the length of a football field to get to the car and then to get from the street to my house. It took me 14 minutes. And then from my front door to my bed, 25 minutes. I didn't shower, so it's too much pain.

[Morgan]

Dr. Kellen, what do you hear when

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

you hear that he's got A lot going on. He does a lot going on.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And I mean, as an athlete, it's tough to live this way.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That's right. That's right. So it's interesting as I think about what's going on with you in kind of, you know, dissecting and thinking about it so that you're. Let's talk about your abdomen first.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

It's on one side.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Well, I mean, it started on the left side, like, right. Just like right there. Sharp pain. And it was only right there. And then over the months, it would start going across. And I've had a little bit over here, but it's mainly here and across. And then now it sounds some signals downstairs and it's just miserable.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So it radiates into your groin. Does it. Does it hurt when you, like, cut or move or things like that?

[Lunchbox]

Sometimes, like, I mean, I can play a soccer game, but then, like, if I go, like, sit out, like, if I take a sub, that's when I can start feeling it, like, ah, yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

You know, one of the things that I'm curious about to see if you have is what they call like a sports hernia or athletic pubalgia.

[Morgan]

Definitely sounds like a pub. Algae. He's a big pub alga. Guys, lunchbox.

[Amy]

Has any doctor said athletic pubalgia?

[Lunchbox]

No, None. I'll tell you what the doctors have said. They told me there was my pelvic floor to Google some exercises or YouTube them, but they didn't tell me what exercises to YouTube. So I went to a physical therapy pelvic floor specialist. It's me and the women in there. It's really awkward. And they were like, it's not your pelvic floor. She felt around. She's like, your pelvic floor is legit.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Legit.

[Morgan]

You need to examine him. Like, we can let you guys go to another room if you feel like that's a thing. We won't do it in front of us. I've asked to see his testicle. He's not allowed me to.

[Lunchbox]

I've had. I've had. I've been to the hernia doctor. They say there's no hernia. I've been to gastroenterologist I've been to. And my primary care told me probably just gas. I went to a sports medicine doctor that did an MRI and I came back. They didn't see anything on the mri. Said, hey, we are here if you need us, but we don't know what it is.

[Amy]

What about the one doctor that wanted you to get a Colonoscopy, and then the.

[Lunchbox]

What are they called? Gastroenterologist. They said, oh, yeah, it's not your colon, but I'll give you a colonoscopy on Monday for fun.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So I really, as I think, as I hear what you're saying to me, I really think that it is that sports hernia that's going on, which is not like your typical hernia, right? It's not this something bulging out into your. Where you can feel and all these things. What happens with a sport hernia is that the, like you have all those muscles in there, your internal external obliques from all those things that you do that, that soccer that you're playing all the time, you have all those muscles that have this soft tissue that overlies that, right. And sometimes that soft tissue gets pulled and damaged and all that stuff which might not show up on an mri, like what you had, see, all right. But it's a, it's a clinical diagnosis. And so it really sounds like you, you have that. It starts on one side, it hurts when you're cutting, radiates down into your growing. Sounds like a sports trainer to me. There's not a lot of guys that do this in the country. The ways that you would treat it, which you've already tried initially, rest, physical therapy, doing anti inflammatories, which you're like, hey, it's still hurting, still bothering me. Then you move into the. Some of the things that I do, like prp, stem cells, growth factors, inject in that area, help that. To help that tissue to repair as possibility. If it goes on for a long time, it really bothers you, then something like a surgical procedure, which is probably only a couple guys in the country that do those things, they do it laparoscopically, but. But I don't think you have to necessarily go there. I think I would try something regenerative before you do something surgical. But it sounds like it's been going on for a long time.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's been going on since June. Man, it's been tough. I put on like £10. Pictures are starting to look unflattering. I can't. I can't run. You know what I mean? And like, and my kids, I got three boys and they want to like, run around and they're like, oh, dad, run your fastest. I can't, guys, I can't.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So what would you do with him if. If you were to start today? Like, what would you do with him?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah, so I, you know, I would

[Lunchbox]

review that on that couch.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I Review that image. Well, yeah, Defin. Examine him.

[Morgan]

Right.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Review the imaging.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And then if I say I think this is what's going on, then I would recommend doing something regenerative first and see if we get you to a better place.

[Morgan]

Can we send them to you?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Oh, for sure.

[Lunchbox]

Because I go to physical therapy twice a week, man. Like we do stretches and we do this and we do strengthening and I mean they're great. I mean they're, they're fantastic.

[Morgan]

But I just picture him doing Jazzercise, how he talks about it with all the women.

[Lunchbox]

It is. I mean it's a lot of pregnant women and women that just giving birth that are with me and it's like,

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

yeah, we got to get you out of there.

[Amy]

I guess they're great about. Since lunchbox is an athlete and his wreck soccer. Like, is this something you see in your professional athletes?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Like, yes, something. I've seen professional athletes all the time.

[Amy]

Look at you.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And like I said the thing about it, there's only a few people in the country that treat it as far as surgically treat it. Well, but like I said, I think this is something that could with the regenerative means could be very helpful for you. So we'll set up a doom.

[Morgan]

We'll set up an appointment.

[Lunchbox]

Oh yeah, man. I'm in.

[Amy]

What is an examination entail? Like, what are you going to have to do?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Palpate that his belly and all those things. And you're really just ruling out to make sure there's no real hernias that are there or anything else that's going on. But you've had that million dollar workup as far as the 55,000 doctors.

[Lunchbox]

Oh yeah, dude. I mean it's amazing. It's amazing how many doctors have just sent me on my way. One guy, one urologist told me it was a vein that runs from my hip to my testicle. He goes, just take some Advil before you run. You'll be fine. That didn't work.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah, yeah. So I think that's what's. I think you have a sports hernia.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Oh man.

[Amy]

What's the other word you use? Penal.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

He said pub.

[Morgan]

He said tiny pubic area.

[Lunchbox]

He didn't say tiny.

[Amy]

Microscopic.

[Lunchbox]

Microscopic pubic. No, it didn't say that. Guys, this is my medical. This is serious. Been going on for almost a year.

[Morgan]

I know. That's why 11. That's why we said it up.

[Lunchbox]

Didn't change my life. You said you were going to change my life.

[Morgan]

You got to thank Amy. Amy. Amy.

[Lunchbox]

You changed my life. Thank you.

[Amy]

No, you got to thank Cat in there because.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Amy]

It's so funny. Yeah, so. Because Luckbox is a big begging for a professional athlete. He was like, I don't care. I need a doctor from the Titans. I need a doctor from the Preds. I need a doctor from the soccer team, whatever. Like, anything. And then right after he said that, I'm talking to my friend Kat, and she's like, oh, I gotta go. I'm meeting with my friend, Dr. Kellum. He's with Titans. Like, I have a meeting with him. And I was like. And it was. I get like, you're a professional whole thing. And I was like, hey, so do you mind when you're in that meeting, if you could ask him if he would come on the Bobby Bones show to talk about Lunchbox's swollen testicle?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That's exactly what I heard. Wait, what?

[Amy]

And so, thankfully, he was willing to come.

[Morgan]

Another question for you. This guy here in the hoodie has extremely low testosterone. Eddie.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Hey, Doc. How are you? Hey, Eddie.

[Morgan]

It was in, like, the 200 mid-200s. What would you say to that?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

How old are you?

[Eddie]

47 years old.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Okay, so there's several things to do, right? 47 years old, low testosterone, which comes with a lot of things, right? This is high energy, lots of stress. I heard you guys were in Austin this past.

[Morgan]

We were.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And then you're back in today, right?

[Morgan]

Hit the ground. Run.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So your life is super stressful.

[Eddie]

I have four kids, too.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Oh, my God. Four boys. What? Let's go. I have four boys, too.

[Eddie]

You do?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

It's amazing, really, that life, right? Yeah. It's so good. So good, but stressful, but chaotic. Yeah. Someone's sleep hurt. Dying all the time. So stressful life, right? Then there's all the things that we eat, right? The plastics and all that stuff. All of these things have decreased testosterone levels over time. Right. So how do we combat that? At 47 years of age, you have two ways to kind of get that. Clean up all those things. Make sure you're lifting weights and eating well. Right? Those things are super helpful. And then you say, well, do I replace it, or do I try to help my body do what it's supposed to do? I always encourage guys at the very beginning to try to get their body to do what it's supposed to do. You can do some things like enclomiphene. You can do some things like hgh. Not hgh, sorry. Human gonadotropin releasing something other. But those things Will help your testicles to produce more testosterone. Right. Before replacing. Because when you replace it, it, then you bought it for life. Right. So at 47, you're. You're kind of early. And so maybe doing some of those things that help you get to a much better place. But always the free things we want to do first. Exercise, lifting, weights. Right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

There's a study recently that I saw that talked about sprinting. When's the last time you sprint it?

[Eddie]

Two years ago. Two years ago? I guess a year, year and a half ago.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

The last time I sprinted was yesterday. But the first time, the last time before that would have been like, I don't know, four or five years. Sprinting for us at this age helps increase that testosterone significantly. So there's things, obviously, you can do that once again, are free, but then there's other things you can do. But I always want guys to know before you bite the bullet and have your testosterone replaced, you should look at things to have it. Have your body kind of increase it on its own with taking some things versus having that replacement. Because once you do that replacement, it's hard to go back.

[Eddie]

Doc, what about. What about squats? I did squats over the weekend. Like, does that help?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Squats helps. It does my. So exercising, doing, lifting weights, all those things are super helpful to do that. The hard thing about. As we get older. I'm 49. The hard thing about doing that is that those weights can be tough on our joints. Right. And so then we have to find a way to manage that. There's some things out there. Isometric exercises are super, super helpful. Not gonna be bad on your joints, but it's actually gonna have. Gonna cause muscle hypertrophy. The more muscle you have, the more testosterone you have. All those things are super helpful. So just keep that in mind as well too.

[Eddie]

Does it make me less of a man to have lower t than, say, someone in the 500s?

[Lunchbox]

Yes, it does.

[Amy]

Lunchbox has 503, and Eddie has 285.

[Eddie]

And he thinks he's, like, a manly man. And I'm. I have boobs.

[Lunchbox]

No, no.

[Morgan]

He.

[Lunchbox]

He laughed when I tested 503, and he's like, oh, that's so embarrassing. And then he got reality.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So it's very interesting. You only become less of a man is if it's really bothering you. Right. Somebody at 200 may not have any effects from it. Someone at 500 could. So it kind of. It kind of depends.

[Eddie]

Oh, so like, someone like me at 200 could have great libido. Someone at 500 could have no libido.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

You could.

[Lunchbox]

Right, but it's highly unlikely.

[Amy]

Valid. Thank you, Eddie, for bringing that up. Eddie gets up every morning, fatigued, can barely face the day. He says. So that's what led to it. Even Bobby being like, oh, we should do a low T off. But Eddie swears he's got all these other symptoms, but swears his libido just fine. Is that possible?

[Eddie]

It's crazy.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I mean, it is possible. Very much so. But he definitely has symptoms from low, which is the. Hey, I get up, I'm tired. All those things.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Morgan]

It seems like that table. There's just deficient testicles or no testicles at all. We got lunchbox with one, Morgan with none lunchbox.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

You only have one.

[Morgan]

One hits with one swollen.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And I want to address that one swollen one. I think I know what's going on there.

[Amy]

Oh, go ahead.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So does it feel like a bag of worms?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think there's. Sometimes it feels like there's some worms

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

in there and it comes and goes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And they did an ultrasound on you and nobody said anything?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they did two. I did two different doctors.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Like, was a urologist.

[Lunchbox]

Two urologists.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Really?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So that. I mean, I can't come here as an orthopedic surgeon and be like, oh, I think I know what's going on. When you saw two urologists.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Because what I would say was going on with you, what it sounds like is something called a varicocell, which is essentially a vein that's around that testicle. And it. You know, it's like you think about a varicose vein, Right. Which you go, oh, those things get large, all those things. And that's exactly, exactly what's happening around the. The vein around that testicle. And it kind of comes and goes sometimes if Dull ache. It feels heavy. You know, all those things actually can have a. A. An appearance where it looks, you know, like there's. Oh, it's going on. So that's what it sounds like. But it's wild that you've seen two urologists and none of them came up with that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Unless you saw them when it was, like, deflated.

[Morgan]

Was it wormy when you saw them?

[Lunchbox]

I think it was because it was middle of the day, so it would have been.

[Amy]

I mean, it's only at night that it calms down.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. When I go to bed, you can

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

imagine that laying down and then that you don't have this. This. You know, this when you're standing up all the Blood wants to pool down.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And so you can imagine that it's just going to sit there if you're standing up. But if you lay down, that blood goes down.

[Amy]

What's the treatment for this?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

It's observational. Unless it's causing symptoms in the way of. Sometimes because that vein is there, you have more heat. Right. So now you can be infertile because of it. That testicle could be smaller.

[Amy]

Should it be removed?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Morgan]

Can we observe it?

[Lunchbox]

It.

[Morgan]

It's observational. We'd like to see it. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Amy]

Can it be donated to science?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

He might. He might want to keep it for as long as he. I mean.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm keeping it. We're good. We're.

[Morgan]

We're gonna.

[Lunchbox]

We're gonna.

[Morgan]

Hey, but if you lose one, your testosterone will be even with Eddie's.

[Lunchbox]

That's true.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And that's another thing that those. Those things having that can decrease the amount of testosterone.

[Morgan]

Boom.

[Lunchbox]

I even said that. I said, guys, 503 maybe. You know, it's only average maybe trapped down there, there.

[Morgan]

I have a question about stem cells. Seems like with the research that's been happening with stem cells, we are learning how beneficial they are in repairing different parts of the body. Is that correct?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That is correct.

[Morgan]

How do I get stem cells like

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

a normal dude, come see me. Yeah, but how do you get them? There are several ways.

[Morgan]

And how do they work?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah. So there's two places that you can get stem cells and also growth factors and also exosomes. Stem cells are kind of like the cell that produces a lot of those things. Growth factors come from other places, and then exosomes come from those stem cells, and all those things really help to modulate or decrease inflammation in your body. And the places that you get them from, you can get them from yourself in the form of bone marrow adipose, or prp, which comes from the blood. Or you can get them from what we call off the shelf material, which says, okay, we're going to take this healthy mom that had a healthy baby. Right. Doesn't come from either one of them. No aborted children involved in getting any of that material. It comes from leftover amniotic placental umbilical cord that's going to be thrown away. And those things have stem cells and growth factors and exosomes in there. And you can take that material once they process and do all those things, and. And then they essentially bottle it. And then someone like me can then use that in your body in the appropriate time and space and all that stuff. And so that's what stem cells. Stem cells are what you use them from for host of things. I started out 10 years ago here in Nashville, Tennessee, using it for musculoskeletal things. I'm an orthopedic surgeon. That's, you know, that's my niche as far as why the Titan choose me as is on their staff. But I went from there to going to more like anti aging, longevity things, other chronic diseases. Everything as we get older has inflammation as its base. Right. In fact, Harvard term coined a term probably five years ago called inflammaging. And so it's all about that. As we get older, we just have more and more inflammation that just doesn't go away. And at some point in time we can't handle it and then we die.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Morgan]

That sounds fun.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah. And so stem cells, growth factors, exosomes, what they do is they decrease that inflammation. They reset those things for a little bit. It's not a cure or any of those things, but it helps decrease that inflammation. So normally your symptoms from some of those things can be better from that.

[Morgan]

And so does it have to be prescribed? Because we can't go to Walmart and get stencils.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Right. Can't go to Walmart. Definitely have to come see. See someone like me to. To do that. Yeah, that's been doing it for a while. And does it appropriately and yeah.

[Amy]

Probably not like a flashing sign on the side of the road.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Somebody does it inappropriately. That's kind of what I like.

[Amy]

Cheap if it sounds too good to be true.

[Morgan]

But they do change lives, right?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

They have.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

In lots of cases. And also, you know, they've changed lives. They. They've changed contracts. Right.

[Amy]

What do you mean by contracts as

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

far as like the professional athletes and those things? Longer career.

[Morgan]

Amy's wanting a new contract. She thinks if she takes him, she has a new contract today. I want some.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

He's gonna need a new contract.

[Eddie]

Let's go.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. Oh. So athletes, because they can as they're stay healthy being a professional athlete, like the body just. There's so much like a football player has so much damage that's happening. So this helps them repair faster, therefore they're more valuable.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I had a guy come in to see me, retired guy, and he, he talked to me, he said, he goes, when I was, when I was a rookie, you know, play game on Sunday. And it's like being a. In a battle. Right. So I had one guy come in on the Monday after all these scratches and Stuff like that. I'm looking at him, I was like, man, what happened to you? And I forgot, oh, you played in the game on Sunday.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

But he, he said that he. By Tuesday he could. He was ready to go again. And then it moved to Wednesday, then it moved to Thursday. He said when it got to Saturday, I knew it was. I knew it was time to hang up my cleats. Doing things like this, as far as once again nutrition, exercising properly, even for them, for all of us. In that case, we can prolong our career by using things that are going to decrease inflammation.

[Amy]

So lunchbox's rec soccer league could same

[Morgan]

when he knew it was Saturday and it had been all week.

[Amy]

Hang up the cleats.

[Lunchbox]

But I haven't got there yet. That's what I'm saying.

[Morgan]

You still haven't retired yet.

[Lunchbox]

Still I'm retired even when I can't walk to the car, it takes me 30 minutes.

[Morgan]

Yeah, so we're gonna let you. We'll send you to the doctor here.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm ready to go.

[Morgan]

And so Dr. Kellum, you'll see him, right? I will not. We won't do the testicle in the room. Would have been my choice of a bit, but. And then.

[Lunchbox]

Are you in network? Let me make sure he's in network.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

We get you squared away.

[Morgan]

We got it. We got it hooked up. Don't worry about that.

[Amy]

You say you would you say you're gonna palpate.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Palpate.

[Amy]

Palpate his stomach. Like, what is. Does that just mean press on it?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

You can't say the word feel, you know, when you're examining somebody. So you have to use big words.

[Morgan]

Really? Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That's a no.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Amy]

You say, you can't say, I'm just gonna feel your stuff.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That's a negative.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Cuz what if he's talking about his testicles? That doesn't sound good.

[Morgan]

What I'd rather him say, I'm gonna feel your testicle than palpate your testicle.

[Lunchbox]

Because if he's.

[Morgan]

It sounds like I want to feel more than a palpate.

[Amy]

Okay, wait, no, I'm. I'm really serious. Like, this is like. You learn this in school or like ethically, like co. Like, yeah, contract. Like you.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah. You. You don't want to. That's. I. I can remember there's. There's lots of stories I could tell you, but. But yeah, you definitely don't say Phil,

[Amy]

I wonder when they had to implement that.

[Morgan]

Probably right after lawsuit. Yeah, probably right after the lawyer. Lawyers in the court. Lawyer up. Yeah.

[Eddie]

That makes sense.

[Amy]

Okay, so you're. You're gonna palpate lunchbox.

[Morgan]

Dr. Kellum, thank you so much for coming in and helping us. This has been a year long thing. He's tried it all. We've gone through the, the, his story and we thought he was making it up at first, but now he's just been to so many doctors and done so many things that Amy, luckily this fell in her lap with her friend making a really significant ask to you and thank you for giving us your time. That it is really, it means a lot to us for you coming in, unless you're gonna go see him. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And can I ask him a question?

[Morgan]

You can go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Just do my stories about how some doctors act like, oh, yeah, you know what I mean? I don't know. And they just throw up their hands. Does that sound familiar?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

You know, it happens because they think I'm lying.

[Morgan]

We let him answer. Oh, you ask him a question and yell at him answer.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah, yeah. It's, you know, it's sometimes when we don't know. Right. And there's times that we don't know, have no idea, like, what do we do? And, and so, you know, the, the goal, though, for most of us is try to figure it out. And if we don't know, we're going to talk to someone else that, that may know. And that's usually, you know, how. How it goes and what we want to see. Like, I may not know the answer, but I'm going to find someone that, that does because usually someone has seen what's going on with you.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And they just kept sending you to YouTube.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I mean, you ever tell your patients, hey, go look up some exercises on YouTube. You ever tell them that?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Not usually.

[Morgan]

Dr. Kellum, thank you so much. And we were looking forward to him. This is great being fixed because we've been hearing about it a lot. So you're saving our life. All right, There he is. Dr. Kellum, everybody.
