Oh, Cindy, you're a good girl.

[Lunchbox]

That feels weird.

[Mark Seal]

That did feel weird.

[Lunchbox]

You two are my favorites.

[Mark Seal]

I felt a little weird.

[Lunchbox]

I really did. Like, you said that. I was like, I need to immediately run away.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah. Yeah, Cindy, I'm just glad you got good taste.

[Lunchbox]

You two are my favorite. I love that you both always show your true, true colors. Alexis and Pennsylvania.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, I've never been to Pennsylvania. No, I have. I've been to Pittsburgh. Never mind. Take them back. Yeah, that's in Pennsylvania, right? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if I got a true experience of Pittsburgh so far. It's on my list that I don't need to or ever go back. I went to Pittsburgh. I saw everything I needed to see. It was. It was cool.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, you want to hear about my trip to Pittsburgh?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no.

[Mark Seal]

How amazing it was?

[Lunchbox]

We have questions. Is it good? Give me like a 20 second review real quick.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, yeah. I'll give you an hour long segment here. So the sales guy came to me is like, hey, you need to go to Atlanta to see, I think Lee Bryce. And then you need to go to Pittsburgh to see Miranda Lambert and somebody, Jason Aldean. I think we need you to do this, you know? And it was my birthday.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Mark Seal]

So I'm like, great. And so I have to go by myself. So I go to Atlanta and I Go to the Lee Bryce show, and my cousin and his wife came, so I got to see them. That was cool. All right. And then I go to Pittsburgh, and I show up, and I'm at a hotel, and it's at the Pirates, you know, PNC Park. And I walk across Roberto Clemente Bridge. All that so cool. Like, it was. The city was beautiful. And I go to the ticket window, and I'm like, yeah, I need to pick up my ticket. We don't have a ticket under your name. I'm like, what? I'm like, yeah, I don't have a ticket for you. I'm like, all right. By calling the sales guy, not answering. So I'm just stuck outside of PNC park, and then I run into Amy Page, who used to do afternoons here. I run into her husband who works for the record label. I'm like, hey, man. Like, he's like, oh, you can get in with me. He goes, why. Why'd you pick this show to come to my. I didn't pick it. So there was no. I have no idea why I even went on this trip. Like, there was nothing.

[Lunchbox]

I. Don't you ever end up hearing from the people I had imagined that. Were they like, sorry, or I don't know why.

[Mark Seal]

Then put one Will call for you. But I still don't understand why I had to go to these shows. Like, it's been 10 years, and I still don't understand what the point of it was.

[Lunchbox]

Interesting.

[Mark Seal]

Like, I think it was. Our sales guy just said, hey, you need to go to these shows. But what. There was no. I didn't meet with any clients. I didn't mean with anybody. So I literally was at the Miranda Lambert and Aldean show at PNC park by myself. Just like, what am I doing here?

[Lunchbox]

Like, that's an interesting experience.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah. Like, it was so weird. Like, I'm just like, all right, well, that's cool. Like, yeah, man. Like, no reason, no rhyme or reason why I went to those shows. Still don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, I think you need to do over in Pittsburgh where you're not by yourself and also not on your birthday weekend and also not obligated to. To go.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, it was very interesting. You know what sales guy I'm talking about?

[Lunchbox]

No, you can tell me out there later.

[Mark Seal]

I'll spell it for you.

[Lunchbox]

You're spelling in there. It's not great.

[Mark Seal]

What? Watch this.

[Lunchbox]

You're also backwards to me. You realize we're facing each other. Okay, Spell it that way on that wall. Oh, okay. I got it.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah. Like, no idea. I still.

[Lunchbox]

It's okay. It's okay. Thank you for spelling on that wall for me. All right, we're getting into questions.

[Mark Seal]

Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

Is Lunchbox jealous that Adam Sandler wore a hoodie to the Oscars as a bit Jennifer in California?

[Mark Seal]

No, I'm not jealous he wore it. I mean, I'm jealous he was at the Oscars, and there was a lot of famous people around him, but what'd I be jealous of? I mean, I wore a hoodie, and everybody thought it was the end of the world. Adam Sandler wore a hoodie, and it was like, oh, that's just Adam Sandler being Adam Sandler. I mean, I don't see the difference, but.

[Lunchbox]

So I guess we're gonna have to start just saying. Well, that's Lunchbox. Me and Lunchbox.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah. And also, if you want me to wear something nice, tell me the dress code. No one told me.

[Lunchbox]

We're still staying with that. Okay.

[Mark Seal]

No one told me there was a dress code. Not a single person.

[Lunchbox]

Would you ever start a reality TV challeng podcast. This is from Cubby in Texas, and he loved your interview with the Challenge Mania.

[Mark Seal]

Challenge Mania is coming back to Nashville. I would love to get those guys in here.

[Lunchbox]

Is it a different group now?

[Mark Seal]

Different group.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Sorry. I don't know how any of this works. I watched a lot of the challenge growing up, but I haven't watched since then.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, you should get back into it. It's still awesome. It's still amazing. I don't know if I'd ever start a challenge podcast just because I don't watch it on time. And you had to be on time. You had to watch it the night it comes out, do the podcast. And I would need someone to talk to in the podcast, and not enough people. And I don't know if I have no idea how many people watch. So there's already so many challenge podcasts where, like, there's a lot of Survivor podcasts. There's a lot of Big Brother podcasts.

[Lunchbox]

So when you say there's, like, challenge podcasts, does that mean people who were on it and they're talking about it, or.

[Mark Seal]

I assume there is, like, one from mtv. Tori and Anissa usually host it. I don't know if it's still going, but then I assume there's other podcasts where people talk about it, and I just. Do I really want to compete with 500 under other challenge podcasts? It's tough.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you're right. There is quite a Few of them. But if you're obsessed with them and you love it.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, I am obsessed with them. But it's just. That's more work, guys. Come on.

[Lunchbox]

That is true, too.

[Mark Seal]

Come on.

[Lunchbox]

I. It is funny, like, because there are so many podcasts. Anybody who's ever like, should I start a podcast? I was like, you better love it. You better love it.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

If you don't, it's. It's a lot of work.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah. I don't know why I started this Best Bits podcast. I don't love it.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, you're a guest. You don't have to do it all the time, you know? Also rude. Take it back. Favorite brand of running shoe. I just recently started running Jessica in San Diego.

[Mark Seal]

Well, I wear Brooks. Those are those shoes I wear. I have no idea about my favorite. I mean, each there.

[Lunchbox]

They feel good.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, they feel like I'm walking on running on.

[Lunchbox]

You like oofos, too. They're not. You're running, but you like oofos.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, I wore a pair of oofos. Yeah. But now they're all worn out. Like, I mean, there's no thing on the bottom.

[Lunchbox]

You wore them that. That's how much you like.

[Mark Seal]

What are they called? Tread.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you got. Yeah, you need some new pair because they're great recovery shoes from running and activities.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, that's what they say. But, yeah, I just like. I like my Brooks. Yeah. And if you're just getting. Getting into running, good luck. Take it easy, take it slow. Don't try to run 10 miles in one day. That's my suggestion.

[Lunchbox]

Not a marathon.

[Mark Seal]

And no, I would say, you know, I mean, I don't know how far people run, but, you know, run a quarter mile for a week, and then the next week run a half a mile for a week or two weeks or whatever, you know, and then you just build up. Don't just jump out and go three miles, then be, oh, my God, my legs hurt. I'm dying, and you won't do it ever again.

[Lunchbox]

I think I've done that a few times.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, see, that's what people do.

[Lunchbox]

And I hate running.

[Mark Seal]

Exactly.

[Lunchbox]

Does lunch get offended when the guys on the show use the lunch voice where it's this kind of deep, extra hick accent?

[Mark Seal]

No, I don't. Even if they do it, I don't remember it. I mean, do they do that?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they do. Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

No, I don't get offended. I mean, it just means they're flatter and they want to be me and they want to sound like me. And they're just mad because they don't sound as manly as me. I mean, they. I talk like this, hi, I'm Eddie. And then, hey, I'm Bobby. I mean, that's the difference. They're just like, dang, I wish I could sound like that, man. So they want to be me.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, you just went deeper on purpose. I saw that happen. When you said, dang, you went deeper. Did you even notice you did that? Yeah, but I'm saying right at that last moment, you're like, dang, and you went like Johnny Cash deep.

[Mark Seal]

Is that Johnny Cash deep?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think his voice is pretty deep.

[Mark Seal]

Okay, well, there you go. No, I'm not. It doesn't. What they do doesn't bother me at all.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I'm glad to hear it.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

We're gonna take a quick break.

[Mark Seal]

I'm already breaking.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we gotta put breakies in here.

[Mark Seal]

This is a quick break. All right, we'll be at.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, here.

[Mark Seal]

No. No break.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Snakes. Zombies. Public speaking, the list of fears is endless, but the real danger is in your hand. When you're behind the wheel, distracted driving is what's really scary and even deadly. Eyes forward. Don't drive distracted. Brought to you by NHTSA and the AD Council.

[Lunchbox]

The five families did not want us to shoot that picture.

[Nathan King]

Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli is based on my co host Mark's best selling book of the same title. And on this show we call upon his years of research to help unpack the story behind the Godfather's birth. From start to finish, this is really.

[Mark Seal]

The first interview I've done in bed.

[Nathan King]

We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much, many of them conflicting.

[Lunchbox]

That's nonsense.

[Bob Pittman]

There were 60 pages.

[Nathan King]

And try to get to the truth of what really happened.

[Lunchbox]

And they said we're finished, this is over.

[Mark Seal]

Not only is not going to work.

[Lunchbox]

You got to get rid of those guys.

[Nathan King]

It's just that Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli features new and archival interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Evans, James Caan, Talia Shire and many others.

[Mark Seal]

Yes, that was a real horse's head.

[Lunchbox]

Sarah in Clarksville, Tennessee wants to know if you're using your new hamper or stick. Sticking with the tub. Shout out James from Virginia.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, yeah, I have not. I mean I have. I mean I got it out of the box, but it's in a plastic bag so I have not put it together.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Mark Seal]

So no, I haven't used it yet. I mean but the plan is to hopefully start yeah, guys, I only got it, like, three days ago. I mean, it takes me, like, a month to get anything going here. I buy stuff and I don't take it out of the bag. Come on.

[Lunchbox]

That gives you anxiety. Everything has a place in my house. So, like, once I get it, I have to find a place for it, and then. Okay, it's put away.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah. And you have to understand, I don't know where I'd put it. And, I mean, you don't have room.

[Lunchbox]

Somewhere to put a hamper in here?

[Mark Seal]

No, no, I probably do, but I'm saying I had to put it together and then decide where we should put it.

[Lunchbox]

And then was your wife happy to see it? Like, oh, finally.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, my wife's like, oh, that's pretty cool. And then when you know the terrible news about James dying, she's like, oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but now you get it. Like, it's a memory of him. And.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, but every time. But then every time I look at him, be like, man, he died. Like, that is freaking crazy. Like, it is crazy crazy. And so that's why it's a little. Like, a little bit of it. It's weird to look at it and be like, dude, that dude dropped it off, and like, a few hours later, he died. Like, that is just. Oh, man, it's awful. It is so awful. And so my wife, she even said, man, I was doing laundry. That's all I could think about.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Mark Seal]

And so now I have to decide, do we keep the hamper?

[Lunchbox]

But eventually it becomes a good memory, and eventually you'll be happy you didn't get rid of it. Right. Like, right now, it's just a really hard phase. And I'm with you. I mean, like, I had the necklace he gave me in the ducks, and I'm like, this is really sad. Like, this is kind of one of his last things that he did. And you feel a certain way about that?

[Mark Seal]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

I cried.

[Mark Seal]

You cried?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. It made me emotional because it's just we talk about in part one, like, secondary of our degree of separation or whatever, we're talking about, like, how everybody's connected. Right. It just feels weird. There feels like there's this connection there. We never got a chance to meet him, but this was so important to him. He loved listening to the show, and he made such an effort to put together things based on him listening to hours of our show.

[Mark Seal]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

And then I'm deliver these.

[Mark Seal]

Did he never. Did he not want people to know what he looked like?

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so.

[Mark Seal]

Because Listeners posted that he is the one that took their picture outside the Ryman, but he wasn't in the picture. So it's like he didn't want anybody to know what he looked like.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think it was that. I genuinely think he was just. I think he was just a kind old man and he just was happy.

[Mark Seal]

Was he old?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, to my knowledge. At least that's how people were describing him. He had gray hair, so that tells me he's older.

[Mark Seal]

Don't.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Not like your. I'm talking like all gray hair. Oh, like everything I have.

[Mark Seal]

No, you see, that's what I'm saying.

[Lunchbox]

Like, at least if I remember correctly, that was what she said.

[Mark Seal]

I have no idea how to describe it. What?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he was a shorter, gray headed man. So like full gray hair.

[Mark Seal]

But he didn't want to meet. You know what I mean? When he dropped the packages off, he didn't stick around. He bailed.

[Lunchbox]

I don't. I. But that's what I'm saying is I don't.

[Mark Seal]

At the show, these people met him, but he didn't get any.

[Lunchbox]

You know, I don't think anybody asked to take pictures with him.

[Mark Seal]

It's just crazy, man.

[Lunchbox]

You know what I mean? Like, nobody on purpose was gonna be like, hey, let's take a picture. That's just not a common thing to do. And I don't think he listened to the show and liked us because he ever wanted to meet us. I think he just liked what we offered in his life.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

You know what I mean?

[Mark Seal]

I get it.

[Lunchbox]

I genuinely just think he was just like a nice man and he was happy to listen to the show. And yes, that is why I'm referencing older because to my knowledge it says he had full.

[Mark Seal]

I'm just giving you a hard time.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just major, you know that.

[Mark Seal]

I really don't care. I really don't care. I just. Yes. So, yes, the hamper is a weird. Like it's a weird deal right now.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but you will, in time. I think you'll be happy you have it. I'm gonna be happy. I'm gonna go duck some jeeps with the ducks that he gave me and I think that's gonna be a cool experience.

[Mark Seal]

Now you get to put one on your dash because.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I'm gonna keep one of them. One of them will be in my.

[Mark Seal]

Car and name him James.

[Lunchbox]

Well, it'll be James.

[Mark Seal]

Write his name on it.

[Lunchbox]

I know, I. I'm having a dilemma right now. Lunchbox. If I should Get a new car and a Jeep. Mine keeps crapping out. I mean, it has a lot of miles on it, so I've had it since 2015.

[Mark Seal]

But you think it's a good idea to go with the Jeep again?

[Lunchbox]

I love my Jeep, though.

[Mark Seal]

No, I understand. I understand.

[Lunchbox]

But that's. That's the dilemma. But because the new ones have a push top.

[Mark Seal]

How. How old are you?

[Lunchbox]

I'm 31.

[Mark Seal]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

So you get another Jeep, right?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I could have kids in the Jeep. Kids would love a Jeep, if that's what you're thinking of.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

I mean, I don't.

[Lunchbox]

If I ever decide to have kids, I think kids will love a Jeep. And you could fit car seats in there.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah. I have no idea how big the back of a Jeep is.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's not like. Does it have a spacious. But yeah. Oh, yeah. It has a trunk in it. You can definitely put car. I mean, I have my dog car seat back there.

[Mark Seal]

Okay, so that's what I was thinking. I was like, well, you know, five years to pay it off. Just to pay it off. Yeah, I mean, that's.

[Lunchbox]

But that's what I'm trying to decide. Or if I, like, go the route of a Bronco or maybe like something else in the kind of similarity.

[Mark Seal]

But the Bronco means no ducks.

[Lunchbox]

I know. And that's my. Now you're seeing my dilemma.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, yeah. You gotta buy a car just for the ducks. That's right.

[Lunchbox]

Guys, listen, it's a cool experience to be part of the Jeep family. Everybody's very kind.

[Mark Seal]

Gosh, you guys are. You're like a culture.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I'm happy to be part of this call. I'm also happy to be a part of the Trader Joe's cult.

[Mark Seal]

I don't know. I've only been in there to go to the bathroom.

[Lunchbox]

You kill me. You kill me. Have you gotten a new vehicle? That was a question, by the way, from Gigi.

[Mark Seal]

Not yet.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. You're still test driving?

[Mark Seal]

Well, my wife is leasing a car so she can test it or whatever. Is that right? Is that how you call it?

[Lunchbox]

So she's leasing to see if she'll keep it, and then if once the lease is up. Is she gonna buy it?

[Mark Seal]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. All right. Besides being a mom, does your wife currently work? Love you both. Katina from Indiana, she works.

[Mark Seal]

She does stuff for the sore losers that no one knows about. She does do, like, helps us with the coaches convention. She's the one that books the venues, gets the all that ducks in a row. And so she does do work. She does. I guess you would call that a consultation. Consult. Consultate, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Or is she kind of your guys's manager? A little bit, yeah.

[Mark Seal]

Kind of stuff like that. So yeah, she does work. She does have income coming into her pockets.

[Lunchbox]

Got it. Okay.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah.

And she used to work. I mean, she used to work. Have a full time job.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, she used to work for the Houston Rockets. She used to work for the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Well, she worked for C3 Presents, but her client was the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

[Lunchbox]

Did she work for topgolf?

[Mark Seal]

She worked for topgolf. I mean, she worked for a lot of. Yeah, yeah, she worked for Tractor supply. Dang.

[Lunchbox]

She had cooler jobs than all of us.

[Mark Seal]

Probably not. I mean, the Cosmopolitan. Cosmopolitan Las Vegas is pretty cool. She'd go to Vegas once a month.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Mark Seal]

Now it's pretty bad.

[Lunchbox]

Pretty cool bad.

[Mark Seal]

A bad. A bad day.

[Lunchbox]

Who is your favorite work friend? Kels from Kansas. Why do you keep yawning? I'm going to keep yawning.

[Mark Seal]

You didn't yawn once when I've yawned, so.

[Lunchbox]

No, I did the first time. You just didn't know. I like, I swallowed it.

[Mark Seal]

Who's my best work friend?

[Lunchbox]

Who's your favorite work friend?

[Mark Seal]

Who, like here at our work.

[Lunchbox]

Well, yeah. This is where you work?

[Mark Seal]

I don't have any.

[Lunchbox]

That's rude.

[Mark Seal]

Nah. I mean, probably Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

You're saying that because I'm in here.

[Mark Seal]

No, no, no, no. I mean it's you or Ray or Scuba.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Mark Seal]

I mean, it's just different. Different things. I like, you know, like Ray and I have different things we talk about. Morgan and I can laugh and do this and then Scuba and I talk about. So it's those three. It's a. What do you call it? A rolling. It's like a conveyor belt. Like it switches.

[Lunchbox]

Got it. Like just depending on the situation.

[Mark Seal]

Depending on the situation, the experience and what I want to laugh about or talk about. It's different for those three. Those would be my three.

[Lunchbox]

I'm happy to be part of the conveyor belt.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you for including me.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah. When I need someone not to laugh at, you know, funny things, it's more.

[Lunchbox]

You can't even say that now because you literally just said we laugh at this. And now, Yuki, you just contradicted yourself.

[Mark Seal]

When I. When I don't want. When I want someone that doesn't want good humor. It's Morgan. Let's just put it that Way.

[Lunchbox]

You know how many funny videos we put together?

[Mark Seal]

I know. Rest in peace of those.

[Lunchbox]

They're not done.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, okay.

[Lunchbox]

TikTok has just changed a lot. It's hard to find, like, things that people are doing, so we have to come up with it. And then my brain working.

[Mark Seal]

I don't even know how to come up with a dance.

[Lunchbox]

Well, and my brain is not functioning lately. I'm running.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, we should do the Vertigo dance. A funny, like, you know, they did the spraying on Saved by the Bell.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Mark Seal]

Oh, never mind. You're too young, remember?

[Lunchbox]

You guys might be trying to watch that show too. That was a shot. All right. Have you seen that old man neighbor that rammed the car through the barriers at your neighborhood party?

[Mark Seal]

Lauren, I have not seen him. I have not seen him.

[Lunchbox]

He's in jail.

[Mark Seal]

No, he's not in jail.

[Lunchbox]

Well, but didn't you get.

[Mark Seal]

Well, he bonded out. I got subpoenaed. But that's later this month. It's going down.

[Lunchbox]

You. Do you think he bailed out?

[Mark Seal]

Well, yeah, he wasn't in jail. He got out the next day.

[Lunchbox]

Some people can, some people can't.

[Mark Seal]

I mean, the bail was only, like $3,000. It wasn't like he was in there for $2 million or anything. It was like.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. Sometimes they get, like, really high ones for DUI type situations.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah. If they wreck him, hurt someone. But he didn't, so. Yeah, I haven't seen him. I have not talked to him. I haven't.

[Lunchbox]

I wonder if he hopefully got. Got some help.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, actually, you know what? I did see him.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Mark Seal]

He was on a walk.

[Lunchbox]

Well, at least he's walking now.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, he walked in front of the house.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. He seem okay?

[Mark Seal]

He's a little unsteady. No, I'm just joking. He's fine.

[Lunchbox]

Well, hopefully he got some help.

[Mark Seal]

And who knows? I have no idea. I didn't say hi to him or anything. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

All right, well, that's it for us.

[Mark Seal]

That's it. Oh, my gosh. I can go back to sleep?

[Lunchbox]

You can. Thanks for being here on Sunday.

[Mark Seal]

I'm so tired. Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

See? You keep making me do it.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, I'm tired.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Mark Seal]

What were you gonna say?

[Lunchbox]

No, you made me yawn. Oh, you keep yawning. It's contagious.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

All right, we're jumping out of here. Lunchbox.

[Mark Seal]

Are we leaving right now?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Tell the people where they can find you. Hearing all that stuff.

[Mark Seal]

Radio lunchbox on the socials, and you can listen to the sore losers. PodC Appreciate if you check this out. I mean, listen, if you think this is funny, you should hear the sore losers. And it's supposed to be sports. We don't talk a lot of sports.

[Lunchbox]

You want to know something really, really funny that I've noticed about you? I prepped it a long time ago. Never made it.

[Mark Seal]

What?

[Lunchbox]

But you. You have funny mannerisms.

[Mark Seal]

You.

[Lunchbox]

You know how our President Trump always talks with his hands that go wide? You do the same thing.

[Mark Seal]

I talk with my hands all the time.

[Lunchbox]

I talk with my hands too.

[Mark Seal]

It's not like I'm a big hand stalker.

[Lunchbox]

I am too. I don't mind the hand stalking, but you do the in and out thing. He. I've noticed that about you. Watch, I'm telling you.

[Mark Seal]

Watch.

[Lunchbox]

You'll see.

[Mark Seal]

I do.

[Lunchbox]

A lot of you really don't. If you watch our videos on social media, you're all. For some reason, you love to go in and out with your hands.

[Mark Seal]

No, I do that when I'm trying to be like circus, like, whoa. Oh, you're being real.

[Lunchbox]

You just did it when we were before.

[Mark Seal]

No, I know.

[Lunchbox]

No, not that moment.

[Mark Seal]

I know what you're talking about. I did it before that. I don't know what she's saying. Guys, there's no video evidence of this.

[Lunchbox]

There is. Go watch our YouTube videos and watch Lunchbox Dance.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, man.

[Lunchbox]

Also, you almost hit me, like every day.

[Mark Seal]

Well, I mean, that's. Cause you're sitting too close to me.

[Lunchbox]

I can't help that. There's a literal block that stops me from going anywhere else.

[Mark Seal]

I understand that. I'm not saying it's your fault I didn't design the studio. I'm not saying that. That's what I mean.

[Lunchbox]

But it's funny. There'll be times if you also watching the video, when you put your hand up, I'll like look down because it's right in front of my face.

[Mark Seal]

Can I tell you what? You know what's terrible about the new studio and the videos?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

You only get videos of my side face.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Mark Seal]

Because if I'm looking either way to talk to someone, it's just my side face. There's never a straight on shot of me. So you see my right cheek or my left cheek?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

And I don't know which one's my good cheek, so I don't know which camera I'm supposed to look at.

[Lunchbox]

You don't know your good side? You never figured that out?

[Mark Seal]

It's all sides.

[Lunchbox]

I knew you were gonna say that.

[Mark Seal]

Come on now who are we talking?

[Lunchbox]

But then. So why does it matter if you're.

[Mark Seal]

No, but I would like people to see the front of my face instead of just side cheek. Yeah, it's kind of annoying.

[Lunchbox]

I know. Eddie and I aren't a huge fan of our camera either. We even had him lower it because it was so bad, but it didn't really make much of a difference.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, I'm just like, every video I see is just my side cheek. I'm like, wow, that's cool.

[Lunchbox]

Well, at least you got a good side cheek.

[Mark Seal]

That's great. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Now I feel weird. Okay, we're gonna leave.

[Mark Seal]

Yeah, quit talking about my cheeks.

[Lunchbox]

I knew you were gonna go there. We're leaving.

[Mark Seal]

You know what my kids love to do today?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Mark Seal]

No. They like to yell at. Like they like to. When we're over at a friend's house, they have that. You know, the thing that turns on when you say the name.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Mark Seal]

And they say, play the butt cheek song.

[Lunchbox]

Stop it.

[Mark Seal]

And there's a butt cheek song.

[Lunchbox]

I'm gonna have to listen to that one.

[Mark Seal]

And it's like a nursery rhyme. Like, left cheek, right cheek, we all got butt cheeks or something like that.

[Lunchbox]

Good way to teach them about anatomy, you know?

[Mark Seal]

So everybody go out and listen to a new song today. It's called the Butt cheek song.

[Lunchbox]

Good recommendation, lunchbox. And if you don't want to laugh, watch. Calling from accounts.

[Mark Seal]

Oh, my gosh. Stop. That's on the first part.

[Lunchbox]

Bye, everybody. Have a good weekend.

[Mark Seal]

Bye. That's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Thanks for listening. Be sure to check out the other two parts this weekend. Go follow the show on all social platforms and follow ebgirlmorgan to submit your listener questions for next week's episode.
