Part 3.

[Lunchbox]

Listener Q& A.

[Ray Mundo]

Listener Q and A time. Welcome, everybody. Ray Mundo is joining me. What up, Ray?

[Lunchbox]

Yo. Yo.

[Ray Mundo]

We just spent the whole part one talking about our Las Vegas vacations.

[Lunchbox]

We did.

[Ray Mundo]

So go check that out. Right. But we're going to do listener Q and A now, so starting with shout outs. Your laugh is infectious. Right?

[Lunchbox]

I can't do it fake. So, I mean, yeah, something's got to be funny, but yeah, continue.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay. You did. You laughed on part one. So you can hear it there. Coacher. I hope you're doing well. C SL in for life.

[Lunchbox]

Sore losers Nation.

[Ray Mundo]

Yep. Lion King also scared the crap out of me, Ray and from Virginia growing up.

[Lunchbox]

Guys, listen. It's tough. You see the lions and it's like that stampede. It's so sad. Watch it back, love.

[Ray Mundo]

Raise. Wakey, wakey, Ace and bakey and his.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Ray Mundo]

Reply. Kathy.

[Lunchbox]

Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey. It's the Bobby bones. And then.

[Ray Mundo]

Yep, there it is. No question. Just love you, too. You all are great and always make me laugh. So there's our shout outs to start. You feel loved.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that was good.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, good. If you could do your job for the show from home, would you, Abby in Tennessee?

[Lunchbox]

No, it's all about the vibe, the camaraderie, being in person. You get to see these fools. Um, it's not like we have, like, the most amazing hallway conversations, but it's actually terrible. The other day, I shouldered Morgan in the chin, like, so. It's like. It's like so rushed, and we're in the size of a cockpit, and everybody's like, trying to do a million things at once. So that's not it. It's just that come into a building, you see the skyline, you see the city. Everybody's just so full of life. You see Morgan, you know that she's lived, like a crazy life. Everybody is. I wouldn't. I'm not saying live their life to the fullest, but everybody, it. It's just being in person with people at a skyscraper, at a massive job like this, it's just so cool. But I'm not saying, like, we just have. Sit around and have coffee talk. That's amazing. We don't. We rarely talk.

[Ray Mundo]

No, it's a very kind of adrenaline rushing environment.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[Ray Mundo]

A lot happening, a lot of moving parts.

[Lunchbox]

So it's like you can never just be like, oh, I'm going to just go be lazy at the Bobby Bone Show. No, no, no, no. Get ready, get ready. You're about to jump on a roller coaster.

[Ray Mundo]

It's a great way to describe it. How do you press the audio so quickly? Does each town have their own button on the board? Taylor in New Hampshire?

[Lunchbox]

That's a great question. Yeah, each. It's called a button bar and it's four of five. So I mean, there's like maybe 40 clips on it. And then I pretty much memorize where they're all located in the morning. So if there was, there's the normal clips, like the morning. Corny. I know where that is. I've hit it a million times. But if there's a new clip, a man in New Jersey lost his butt today, then I'll know that I just place that the. In the morning. And I'll know the little area of where that's placed. But yeah, there's each button, each sound has its own little button. And then their microphones, I know those. I can just do those without even looking, touching on my hand. And then I know the faders, I can do all those without even looking. But yeah, there are certain specialized buttons every morning that I add. But I usually memorize that before Bones gets in there. But the. The usual BO show, Bobby Bone show, post show. I know where that button is.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. And you get sent audio, like every night or sometimes in the morning where you have to. It's like, hey, right, upload this. So he'll upload it and he'll put it as a new button on his thing, and then it might only be a one time and he'll delete it.

[Lunchbox]

Correct, right, correct. And then stuff stays in the database. I can search that pretty quickly. It's a database of over 3,000 sounds and it's keywords. So, I mean, that's the thing. Whenever, you know, if people don't keyword it, like, I like it, man, that's when it pisses me off, man. But I know all the keywords, you know?

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. And you can even send Ray, like a video and he can pull the audio from it.

[Norton]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

That often.

[Lunchbox]

We rip everything illegally, man. Artist, music, we do it all.

[Ray Mundo]

It's like if I have it like Thomas, I was showcasing, like, his show in Vegas And I sent you a video. But I didn't have, like just audio. I just had a video. So you pulled the audio from my video.

[Lunchbox]

Great example.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. So not my ownership, but, you know, yes, permission. What was the best thing about living with Lunchbox? This is from a LB in Ohio.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ray Mundo]

Which could also be Lunchbox asking. I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Rent was pretty cheap. I think he did me a solid there. It was around 6, $700 a month. That's good.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, that's great. In Nashville.

[Lunchbox]

And one time my fridge leaked.

[Ray Mundo]

Wait, this was in Austin?

[Lunchbox]

No, it was Nashville.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

He could have charged me for my mini fridge leaking. I didn't know you had to put a pan underneath the mini fridge because it can like condensate. He didn't charge me. That could have easily been over $1,000. We watched sports a little bit together. He just had two massive dogs downstairs. So I really kind of hung up just in like my like Shay Lounge is what I called it upstairs.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, it's not really a dog guy.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I mean, the best times were me and him would go to like Four Corners. It was a bar there called like Three Crows or something. We go. I mean, didn't know anybody. Just like shooting the ass. Like those were the fun times.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And then, yeah, I mean, we would go downtown on Broadway. Like we'd all stay at the station or whatever and go out together. So. Yeah, that was the cool part. Nobody had any wives or girlfriends or anything.

[Ray Mundo]

How many legs on a parlay are too many legs? I have no idea what this means.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, so a parlay is multiple sporting events connected together. So a two would be a parlay, one game would be one. Once it goes to two, multiple, that's when it becomes a parlay.

[Ray Mundo]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Eight is impossible, seven is tough. The sweet spot, really, for a parlay. Two, you're not going to. You generate more money the more games you link together. So it's like a multiplier. You get to that, the sweet spot. Like a three, four, five. That's where it is. Five over five. Screw it. But on a Saturday, a three, a four, a five, that's when you win some cash. I'm going to say. I'm going to say a four leg parlay because you can do the early games, the middle, the late, and maybe connect a Sunday game or something real late, like ufc.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay. So the legs are these different games that you're adding on.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So it'd be like Witchita State. Witchita. Eastern Witchita. And Western Witchita. You would connect all four of those teams and that they would all have to win, lose whatever you picked. If they did, you'd win craploads of money.

[Ray Mundo]

How many times have you won one of these?

[Morgan]

Lots.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, it's all about quantity, too. If you're placing, you know, you place three of those a day, you're going to hopefully win one of them.

[Ray Mundo]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, so it's common to hit one of these, but, like, hit it really, really big. Not as common.

[Lunchbox]

Not as common if you're putting hundreds of dollars on one of these. It's so hard to hit. But that's. That's. I would have done it in Vegas, guys. I said three. I was going to put 100 on it. I would have won a thousand. So.

[Ray Mundo]

So that would have been a parlay.

[Lunchbox]

That would have been a parlay.

[Ray Mundo]

I'm following now.

[Lunchbox]

I wanted to connect NBA, NHL, and then there was a in NCAA game, and I would have hit them all, guys. We were stuck in that damn Uber. We were stuck in that Uber.

[Ray Mundo]

Like, the parlay did hit, but I.

[Lunchbox]

Never placed it because I was stuck in an Uber. So I didn't have a kiosk to place the bet. I woke up in the morning and saw it hit. So that Uber driver. You owe me, buddy.

[Ray Mundo]

It's all his fault. How is Piper doing? Is she fully grown and living life?

[Lunchbox]

She's small. Everybody that comes over says how small she is. I have nicknames for her now. I no longer call her Piper. I call her Squeaky, Squeaky and I call her Fluffy. That's my voice for her. I call her Fluffy and Squeaky.

[Ray Mundo]

It's an interesting voice, right?

[Lunchbox]

She loves presents. She is sleeping under the tree every night because we have fake snow there. And she thinks it's comfortable and it reminds her of her birth mom. She loves sitting on Baser's lap while she's staying at home working. Yeah, she loves her life.

[Ray Mundo]

Pounds of issues.

[Lunchbox]

Light. She's so small. Fits in your palm. She's smaller than those drinks we were drinking in Vegas.

[Ray Mundo]

Girl Ville. That because Hazel, my cat, she's like seven and a half, almost eight pounds.

[Lunchbox]

I'd say the same about that.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, it's crazy how small they are. Everybody comes over and comments. I was like, yeah, I guess this is a small cat.

[Lunchbox]

And I've said it before. She's like an F2, F3. I mean, she's one step away from being at the zoo. We filmed her the other day and she jumped four steps at the same time, she can jump straight up in the air like 8ft in the air. She runs on her wheel at night. At 2 in the morning, we have a huge wheel upstairs in the workout room. She'll go run on it and we'll just be like, look at each other. Oh my God.

[Ray Mundo]

Is that a wheel for her? Is it?

[Lunchbox]

It's just for her. It's her wheel and she'll go run on it. She just get some energy out and.

[Ray Mundo]

She knows how to use it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

Did you guys have to train her or. She just figured out they're.

[Lunchbox]

They're zoo animals. Like, she literally is from the zoo. She knows and she does attack me. Like, she'll never draw blood. She knows how to bite just enough to where it doesn't hurt.

[Ray Mundo]

It's like a love bite.

[Lunchbox]

So like she loves to gnaw on a human. Like so she. I'm pretty much. The only purpose I have on this earth is so that she can gnaw on me. And she loves it. She loves it. She loves clawing just enough to. It doesn't hurt. And biting just enough so she doesn't draw blood or kill me.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, those are love bites.

[Lunchbox]

But I will wake up. I'll wake up and I'll have like a mark on my finger and it'll be weird. Oh my gosh. Did I do that when I was drinking or. Oh, Piper freaking attacked me during the night. Should do it all the time if you have a hand hanging off the bed. Dude, she'll friggin attack your hand.

[Ray Mundo]

Don't even know. Wake you up.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, if it's just a little one, she'll just claw you real quick. And you wake up and you're like, the hell am I bleeding for? Oh, Piper attacked me last night.

[Ray Mundo]

That's so funny. Does she do the like you said she does the wheel. It'll be like 3am and all of a sudden I hear and I'm like, what just happened? It'll be hazel, like bouncing off the walls and running like she's an elephant in my house. She's eight pounds. How does she sound? That way.

[Lunchbox]

They love to run. They're just like horses.

[Norton]

They're probably.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, in probably somewhere down the tree. It was a horse. That was her great, great great grandfather.

[Ray Mundo]

That's the ancestor we're rolling with here.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

[Ray Mundo]

Emily in Nashville would like to know, do you guys still have a plan to fertilize Bay's eggs?

[Lunchbox]

We're chilling right now, as fun as it seems with Amy, Lunchbox, and Eddie. Oh, boy. Might pass on kids for right now. I mean, good gosh. They look like they're hung up. Dry road wet. Man, they look terrible. Let's be real, Eddie. Eddie brings his kid to the CMA Awards, I'm like, throws him in the back with us. I'm like, hey, don't you want to ride with your dad? I mean, it seems like every family is about to kill each other.

[Ray Mundo]

You did have the parents review of CMA Awards. That was. That was your view.

[Lunchbox]

Well, hey, Eddie, your kids back here in the back seat. Maybe you guys want to hang out together and then come to the CMA Awards to babysit. But no, we will, so I don't know. I mean, we still can. Bones is what, 50? What is he. How old is he? 45.

[Ray Mundo]

You should not tell him that. You just call them.

[Lunchbox]

I say that to see if he hears these things.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

Easter egg. And Bones, you know, he's still. He's. I'd follow everything he does. He hasn't had a kid yet. Yeah, we're good.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay. You follow everything he does?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Every day I have to hear. I hear his voice, guys. I follow everything he. I know everything. That dude has done every minute of his life for the last 14 years.

[Ray Mundo]

But you can't remember how old he is?

[Lunchbox]

I was kidding, okay? It was to make him mad, to see if he listens to this.

[Ray Mundo]

Got it. Just following. Why does Ray not have a relationship with his twin Cassie in North Dakota?

[Lunchbox]

That's on him.

[Ray Mundo]

Questions.

[Lunchbox]

That's on him. His wife. There was a thing with the family. His wife kind of got in a fight. You know how. Not saying. Women, not sexist. Guys, I'm not misogynistic, if you will, but the women. The women got a little catty on a text thread. His wife got offended, then my brother got offended. And long story short, he has a little bit of a memory problem. So if she tells him, hey, it wasn't good what happened in his head. Over time, he just thinks, like, we, like, shot at their family. In his head, he thinks, like, something bad happened. So even though he really doesn't even know why, he's mad at everybody. Like, he doesn't even talk to my nephew. What did my nephew do? Nothing. What did the little nephew do? Nothing. The baby, you know, so it's. It because of his memory problem. It, like, Mike magnifies it, so it's like. It's. It's not that big of an issue. But added with the memory problem, his wife had a text threat issue with my mom and sister. And maybe baser. Now. Baser was after the fact, but, yeah, it's just. That's. It. Blown up. Nothing really that big of a deal. But I lived with him for 18 years, had a great time. You know, I. It was great.

[Ray Mundo]

Do you wish that he would, like, kind of come back around?

[Lunchbox]

I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course I'd want a relationship, but it's just like, he's busy with work. You know, half the time, I work in the middle of the day. Wee hours. The morning he works in the middle of the day, you know, it's just like, you know, I'd call him. He'd be working at the lumber mill. I don't really know how much of a relationship. He lives 2,000 miles away. We had a. It was a great run for 18 years.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

There you go. In a bow right there.

[Ray Mundo]

Got it. Thank you. What do you love about BAE the most?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ray Mundo]

It starts with a P in Austin, Texas, but my. My computer corrected it.

[Lunchbox]

Check your Instagram or my Instagram, because I did a post for her birthday. All the stuff that I love about her. It was a phenomenal post, guys. Props to me on that one. I worked a long time on it, and it was a hell of a job. A poem, if you will. But, yeah, baser. She is so positive. She has so many different ideas and stuff. Do we do half the ideas? No, but it's just hilarious to generate these ideas with someone in life. Like, you know, one time we started a business, like a sweatshirt and stuff. And then randomly, we'll do it every once in a while. One time she tried to do a hat business with her friend, and, like, it failed miserably, but they laughed the whole time, and it was so funny. So it's just like, I love hanging out with her. I mean, we could. That's why, honestly, going to Vegas, I love my friends, my guy friends. I only want to go with Laura. Like, I've gone with guy friends, dude, I have the best time with my wife. We joke around, you know, there's never pressure. There's not like one line jokes. Hey, why did you cross the road?

[Savannah Guthrie]

Hey.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it's not that. It's just we're comfortable with each other. We both enjoy having an adult beverage. We both enjoy not overindulging in adult beverages. We enjoy each other's company. We've started to build a life together. We work together. She's helped me. I've helped her. Ying and yang, zig and zag.

[Ray Mundo]

Now you're just going up with words. No, it was really sweet, though.

[Lunchbox]

She's awesome. She's awesome. Yeah. And she really. She motivates me a ton. But yet if it's like, if I'm needing a diet, boom, she'll, hey, I just created this keto diet for you. If she needs, you know, help with some motivation, I'm like, hey, listen, like, you look great in that outfit. Where even when she looks in the mirror, she's like, I don't think I look good. I'm like, I'm dead serious. I'm speaking for the entire population. You look phenomenal in those short shorts and white T shirt. Like, good God, you look great. Let's go out the door.

[Ray Mundo]

The traveling for Thanksgiving has started to be a little one. Christmas morning at the house, we kind of made that rule My parents wanted us to go up to Michigan and Baser said, I want the new tradition to be where we always celebrate our house for Christmas, New Year's. The tradition is always to fall asleep at like 9. Because of my early job, I never stay up late. We always try. Oh, yeah, yeah. So when she. Yeah, when. Yeah, that's what it was. When she had cancer, we didn't travel very much. And so we've always made a thing. Now, guys, we got two legs, two arms. We're traveling. So like last year, you were hitting up the Dominican Republic. That's also. We went to Miami, we did Turks and Caicos. And then this summer we went Charleston, we did Cancun, we did Vegas.
