[Lunchbox]

The Best bits of the Week with Morgan Part 1 Behind the Scenes with a member of the show.

[Morgan]

Good morning everybody. Happy Saturday. Post Thanksgiving lunchbox is joining me this weekend. Lunchbox, good morning.

[Lunchbox]

I'm hungover on turkey. The in laws are in town. The last thing I want to do on a holiday Saturday is get up and come to work. But here I am. And you know what's amazing? It seems like every holiday I'm the one that has to come in. It's like if we're going on vacation, hey, I need you to stay in town on that Saturday. You can't leave for vacation. I need you to do best bits. Hey, it's a holiday weekend. Guess what? You're on best bits this week. But hey, here I am. And happy Saturday to everybody. We're all tired and I mean, how about that Cowboys and Giants game on Thanksgiving? That was something. Something to talk about. And the Bears and the Lions. Wow, great. Football.

[Morgan]

Wouldn't know. I don't ever watch football, so.

[Lunchbox]

Which is weird.

[Morgan]

I just, you know, I, I know from social media what happened, but that's.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, there you go.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And I thought you were going to go to Kansas. I thought you were going to go see your family.

[Morgan]

But no, the fam came here.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's what it was. I saw the pictures of the fam. I was like, dang, she went to Kansas and came back already. That's incredible.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You know, just to record best bits on a Saturday.

[Lunchbox]

That's what we do. See what you guys, people. We see what we do for you guys.

[Morgan]

See what you guys people.

[Lunchbox]

You know, and here's what we're doing.

[Morgan]

Tired best bits.

[Lunchbox]

It's a holiday weekend, so no one's going to listen to this.

[Morgan]

Actually more people listen on the holidays. You think so as we're gone.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I thought maybe the opposite.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah, because I figure they're, they're all doing whatever they do on Thanksgiving.

[Morgan]

Well, they do that. But then also like, you know, you got to get away from the family for at least an hour sometimes.

[Lunchbox]

That's true. And this thing will let be about three hours. We're going to do a special three hour edition. Guys, get ready. Buckle up.

[Morgan]

I don't know if we'll make it that far.

[Lunchbox]

No, we doing that.

[Morgan]

We'll do a short episode.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that works. That's even better.

[Morgan]

What did you do for Thanksgiving? Were you in town just here?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. In laws came, sister in law came and that's it. As cold as.

[Morgan]

What do you do when all your in laws come into town, like, what. What's the routine like at your house? Is it more like you get a. You get to go and do stuff because they're watching the kids, or is it like you're all spending time together all the time?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it's all together all the time. That's it.

[Morgan]

Everybody's never individual time, like, you and your wife, like, oh, date night.

[Lunchbox]

Nope, never. It's. Everybody just hangs out together and they.

[Morgan]

Is that what you want or do you wish you had some?

[Lunchbox]

No, I don't. Whatever. Either way works. But I understand. My wife wants to see her family because she doesn't ever get to see them. So when they're here, she doesn't want to be going to do stuff by herself. But I will say my in laws, this is what drives me nuts. They like the lolly gag. Their sloths, I don't know what.

[Morgan]

Their sloths like, move super, super slow. Everything's just kind of slow.

[Lunchbox]

Yes. Like, we're just gonna casually like, okay, we're gonna go do this. And then two hours later, like, all right, I think we're ready to go now. It's like, why? It's sort of like I've gone to the beach with them and you wake up in the morning and I'm like, all right, let's go to the beach. And they like to just hang out and then we go to beach at like 2:00 in the afternoon. It's like we wasted four hours doing nothing. So that gets on my nerves.

[Morgan]

So do you think it's good for you so you slow down a lot because you're pretty high, energetic, and you probably go like full send all the time?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Do you feel like it's good for you? It's just harder for you to adjust?

[Lunchbox]

Maybe. And my wife's the same way. She likes to sit down, enjoy her morning coffee, not be in a rush. And I am just like pacing the house like, hey, if we're gonna go to the playground, let's go to the playground. Let's go to the playground. She's like, let's just take our time. And it. I mean, she say, ease into the morning. And I'm 100 miles an hour when I wake up, like, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

[Morgan]

Are you a hundred miles throughout the entire course of the day, or do you hit a point where you go down?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, when the kids go to bed.

[Morgan]

Then you start to settle?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, and then I sit on the couch and it's like, oh, I'm tired and I can fall asleep, and so I can. Sometimes I fall asleep sitting up.

[Morgan]

You do fall asleep in some. I mean, you fall asleep really quickly on planes. Like, the moment you sit down, you fall asleep.

[Lunchbox]

It's amazing.

[Morgan]

It is.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I could fall asleep right now. I could close my eyes and I would be. I could fall asleep, no problem.

[Morgan]

Do either one of your parents, can they do that?

[Lunchbox]

Um, I don't know. I think my. Yeah, I think they both can, but. And here's what's funny. My dad and mom used to fall asleep on the couch when we were kids. And, I mean, you couldn't move them, you couldn't wake them up. You could go out the front door, come back three hours later, and they'd still be asleep on the couch. So there was no need to sneak out, people. There was no sneaking out of my house. Like, you just walk out the front door. And I always thought, oh, my gosh, how can they sleep that? You know? Like, how do they fall asleep on the couch? And they're. Now I get it. Kids are tiring.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I get it. You guys exhausted them.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. When we wore them out. Like, and my dad, he worked construct. I mean, he repaired and remodeled houses. So he was out in the Texas heat all day, and so he was exhausted, and I just didn't realize how hard he had it. And he just.

[Morgan]

And you were just over there taking advantage. Leaving, leaving, go whenever, go toilet paper houses.

[Lunchbox]

Go do whatever we want and come back and still be asleep on the couch.

[Morgan]

You know, it. It's still a thing. My dad loves to fall asleep in random places. Like, he'll fall asleep at a concert sometimes, or we'll be at a movie, or we'll be doing something. He'll. He'll be taking a little mini nap, you know, dad nap. And it's our favorite thing to just wake him up, like, alert. And we'll, like, go over. It's clap, make a loud noise. We'll do something to him. And he's. Every time he comes up, like, you would think there's an emergency, he shoots up every time.

[Lunchbox]

Well, what do you think when you clap and scare and yell at him? Like, yes. You freak out.

[Morgan]

Well, if you're going to keep falling asleep in random places, we're going to keep giving you the. The alert, wake up.

[Lunchbox]

Because my kids do the same thing that dad. What? What? What? What?

[Morgan]

Yep.

[Lunchbox]

Like, or boo. And it's like, what? What? Oh, I wouldn't.

[Morgan]

I feel like it's the natural trade Off. If you're going to do the dad nap and you have kids, you got to have the alert wake up.

[Lunchbox]

Well, you better be ready for it. It's going to come full circle.

[Morgan]

Oh, it used to all the time when he, like when I was in high school and he woke me up for school, he would come in. Like, sometimes he'd come banging stuff around. He, like, he. It was it. This is a back and forth constantly that we do this to each other.

[Lunchbox]

My wife hates to be scared. So when the kid. I mean, the kids are getting good, they've gotten good at hiding, like, around the corner. Like, you come around the corner and they're just standing there. And they really have become so patient at just standing there and being quiet. And so, like, you go in the bedroom and you brush your teeth and you come out and they're just standing. What the. And you try not to curse, but.

[Morgan]

You know, do you teach them that, like, how to scare people?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I don't know if they just learned that, like, if that's just a natural.

[Morgan]

Learned thing or just from the nature of, like, hide and seek, right? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And I mean, I guess maybe I scare them sometimes, but I don't know. I can't. I don't know where they learn it. It's amazing what they learn and how they learn it so fast.

[Morgan]

Do you ever pick up on things like that they've learned at school and they come and it takes you a long time to figure out that that's where they learned it?

[Lunchbox]

Um, no, it's pretty easy when they. Hey, bro, bro, bro, bro. I got it. They learned it at school.

[Morgan]

Like, there's super big identifiers where, like, they pick this up at home.

[Lunchbox]

Right. Like the other day, what was my kid with my middle one, Baby Box two was saying, you got to get strong enough or tough enough. Tough enough or toughen up. I don't know which one. He's staying still. I. I'm not sure if he's saying tough enough or toughen up. And I'm like, where'd you learn that? He. I, I don't know. I didn't learn anywhere. I'm like, no, no, you had to learn it somewhere.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And then Baby box told me, oh, we saw that on Ninja Kids or something. I don't know. Some show they watch.

[Morgan]

What about things? Have they learned anything from football since you have, like, sports on all the time? Have they learned any of those? Because I feel like sports, there's a lot of jargon that happens like, we were thinking of that, that, like tight, toughen up or whatever. I'm thinking like, tighten up, tighten up. And maybe there's a version of that. So that's why I'm curious if they've learned anything just having sports on the TV.

[Lunchbox]

They've learned how to tackle each other. Baby Box 2 has learned to get. Take them out at the knees. And then also, like, they'll want to play football in the backyard. And he, you know, like, if you watch it. I don't know if you watch football, but the offensive and defensive linemen put their hand on the ground to get like, to push off. And he does that now they'll get out there in the backyard and they'll put their hand in the ground and tackle each other. It's really funny.

[Morgan]

Are you guys going to do like a family football thing or did you for.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. I mean, they're a little young and we don't have as many cousins like we used to. When I was a kid, we'd go to Topeka, Kansas to see grandma and grandpa and they had all their houses on their block or whatever, and behind them they didn't have fences. So it was like a big open, connected field kind of. And we would have big old family freaking football games. And it was so fun with the cousins, the aunts, uncles, second cousins. And it was just. Everybody was out there. And I remember my, you know, uncle pulling a hamstring or, you know, someone going down with a twisted ankle. And those were the bomb dot com. They were so fun. I mean, I remember like. And that's why, like, when we did the CMA interviews, I kept asking the artists like, hey, do you guys like do a big football game for like. And they all were like, no. I'm like, oh, I do feel like.

[Morgan]

It'S gone away a little bit more. And maybe to your point, maybe because everybody has like fences and stuff now, there's no collective backyards or wide spaces that are close to the house where people can go and play.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because like behind my grandparents in Diagonal was three kids. Summer, sky and Shay, I think were the three kids names all S's. I just now thought of that.

[Morgan]

Well, a lot of parents like to keep some. Some of them like to keep the same con, like letter that says their name.

[Lunchbox]

So I think that was their name. They lived in Dea. So if you guys know them, let them know I'm. I'm giving them a shout out. The sister, Summer, was the oldest and I think sky was the middle. And they would Come over and play, you know, So I. And so I'd see him whenever I go to my grandparents. And then when my grandparents moved, I've never seen them since, but I assume they still are around.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Isn't it crazy how you think back on that and they've made enough of an impact that you remember them?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But you would never see them again in your life.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, 100%. Like, I would have. I have no idea what they look like. I don't remember what color hair they had. But I know they were brothers or a sister and two brothers. And they lived. And there was a. You know, my grandparents lived. And there was a little pond right down the front driveway across the street. There's like a pond you could walk around. But they lived on the backside of my grandparents. And I'm just like, I don't know whatever happened to them. Like, it's so weird. It's sort of like when my parents lived in Austin, their next door neighbor, you would see them all the time going over there. And then now I'll never see them again in my life. Like, it's like I. And I don't remember their name, but they had a daughter and a son and I. It's just we. It's a weird how that works.

[Morgan]

Yeah. How people just kind of come in and out of your life throughout the course of it, and you look back, you're like, dang, I've met a lot of people and they just literally came in and out and that was it.

[Lunchbox]

And they're just gone. They're gone. It's like, oh, hey, we're here one day, gone the next. Like, you're like, you're good friends with someone, and then it's just like, I don't even talk to them anymore. It's wild how that can happen.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Life is weird. Dame. We got. We got deep early.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, it's like. And I'm thankful for all those relationships. You know, it's a week of giving thanks. And I'm thankful for those football games. Man, those football games were awesome.

[Morgan]

Maybe you gotta bring it back.

[Lunchbox]

But I need more. I need more people. Like, with my grandparents, it was so my grandma and grandpa. So then me, my family. So that's five people. And then my uncle Ken and Kathy would come. They had two kids. And then Pam and Vicky from my Uncle Doug would come. So that's a lot of people. Plus my grandma's brother would come with his wife and they had three kids. And so, you know what I mean? Like, it was more and more and more. And then their three kids were a little older, and so they were kind of. They were married, so they'd bring their husband. You know what I mean? So it was.

[Morgan]

Yes, but aren't you, like, making friends in your neighborhood? I feel like you're getting there.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, I'm getting. But I'm saying family, like, the family game. It was. This was just basically family, and it was a huge game.

[Morgan]

Well, maybe you have to adapt it to.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, you got to bring it to the neighborhood. Oh, trust me, We'll. We'll get there. It's coming.

[Morgan]

It's just the kids aren't quite old enough.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because they can't. I mean, they can catch it kind of. They don't really know the rules. They always want to score. They. You know.

[Morgan]

Are you excited for that? When they. When they're in, like, middle school age and they're, like, really active, they're like full kind of grown humans right now. They're like tiny babies where they're still learning and developing.

[Lunchbox]

I. Yeah, yeah. You know, like, I do love. Excuse me. I love this stage because they still want to play with you, and it's freaking awesome. It is. The fighting is, like. It's amazing. If you watch them and you can put them in the backyard and just sit in the window and watch them, they will play a game of football, soccer, baseball, tag, pirate, explorer, whatever. They're playing for an hour. Not a single fight. Dad, dad, come out and play. Come out and play. 10 seconds. No, I want to do it this way. I want to do it this way. And they fight the whole time. It's unbelievable.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's because dad's involved and everybody wants your attention.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I get it. I mean, who doesn't want my attention?

[Morgan]

Oh, boy. I think there's more of a parent kid thing where they're like, every. All of them want a piece of you.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, no. And then my wife's, like, texting me, hey, come inside. I'm like, whoa, whoa. Honey, this is just getting awkward. Like, I mean, I know everybody wants a piece of me.

[Morgan]

I. Technically, three kids, a wife. You got four. You got four limbs. So one arm here, one arm there, a leg here, a leg there.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly. That's how. And then the dog. You know what I mean?

[Morgan]

So that is. How is Waldo now?

[Lunchbox]

He's old. He. I need to find a dog ramp for stairs. And I'm talking outdoor stairs. Like, I Google it. And it's all for getting in and out of the car. Yo, I don't need it for in and out of the car. I need it for patio steps.

[Morgan]

That not also work for the patio steps.

[Lunchbox]

It doesn't look like it looks like it hooks into the car, like, onto the.

[Morgan]

Oh, on like the back little bumper kind of thing.

[Lunchbox]

And I need it to be like four patio steps. Like, I need it to be off the patio, you know, And I can't find one anywhere. And it's just so annoying.

[Morgan]

Is it hard for him to get up?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he. His back hips are kind of.

[Morgan]

I remind me to tell you about these arthritis, like, kind of treats. Their joint treats. But they've helped Remy. Like, I feel like she still plays like she's a little. Little teddy bear.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah. But Remy is a little bit like. I mean, I think his.

[Morgan]

How old is Waldo now?

[Lunchbox]

15.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I mean, he's definitely older and.

[Lunchbox]

He'S old and he's, you know, he's a 75 pound dog. He's a big dude.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So getting up and down the stairs is a little harder. So I've been googling and trying to find it. It's like, here, I found one guy. I'll custom build it. I'm like, yeah, all right, cool. Let me check this out. $700. I was like, okay, never mind. Let's try something else. Like, you know what I mean? Like, $700. You lost your damn mind.

[Morgan]

Can you do like a temporary fix, like a. Some plywood, like all. And you just kind of nail it all together and put like a fabric over.

[Lunchbox]

I probably could. I just was hoping there was an easy solution to.

[Morgan]

Well, you would think it exists. I'm sure it does. Maybe it just haven't looked in the right places yet.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I gave it a Google.

[Morgan]

Did you look on Amazon?

[Lunchbox]

I gave it an Amazon. I mean, I put it in Google and I was like, out. Outdoor stairs, dog ramp, you know, like. And it's.

[Morgan]

All right. Well, if anybody's out there is listening. And I'm sure other people have had this. I had to do this. So.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Let Lunchbox know what you did.

[Lunchbox]

The only ones I've ever seen are homemade. And I'm just like, man, I gotta go. And you know, it's just. I was hoping I could, but it's.

[Morgan]

Either homemade or $700, so.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good point.

[Morgan]

You take your pick.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back. Speaking of Amazon, when's the last time that you got duped by something? And I'm Asking you this because Amazon totally duped me. I was having. So my whole family's in town, and they brought their three dogs, and I needed to spray this stuff on my yard because in Tennessee, the bugs never die. You know, we don't ever really get cold snaps crazy down here in the South. They last, like, a very small period, but they don't kill off all, like, the fleas and ticks. Like, really.

[Lunchbox]

I thought they die all the time.

[Morgan]

No, not. Not in the South. The humidity kind of keeps them alive.

[Lunchbox]

Just in general, I thought it gets pretty dang cold here because, I mean, it's 40 degrees today. That's cold.

[Morgan]

It gets cold outside. But we don't ever get, like, frost consistently enough to kill them in the grass, if that makes sense. So I had to spray this stuff on my yard that was, like, helping protect all the animals. And I ordered it off Amazon. And it was supposed to be this thing that hooks up to my hose. And it's like, you know, you've seen, like, the weed killer, the big, big hands, and you're spraying. It's like, that size. Right?

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Morgan]

This thing shows up. It's the size of my hand. And I was like, that is not. That's not gonna work.

[Lunchbox]

So you built. You bought the wrong size. Well, how many ounces did it say it was?

[Morgan]

It said it was on there, and it said it at the top. And it. And it was on a different option. Like, I had to go and select a complete. It was just the description of way it duped me.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So it had two different sizes you could buy, and you bought the smaller size.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but it also. It was only allowing me to buy the one, so I thought that was the option. And ounces throw me off. Right. Like, when you put things in ounces. I don't. I don't know. Unless I actually go and Google and be like, how big is 15 ounces?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense because it's like, ounces are pounds, but. So If I'm buying £1 of it.

[Morgan]

Like, that feels big. You know what I mean? But then it doesn't when it comes. So anyways, I got duped on Amazon. This thing showed up. It's like the size of my hand, and I'm like, okay, cool, Amazon. So when's the last time you got duped? It doesn't even have to be a purchase, a life experience.

[Lunchbox]

Let's see. I don't really get duped because I don't buy anything. Like, that's my problem. Is I don't buy any ever. Anything.

[Morgan]

Is it more that you tell your wife, like, hey, I need something. Can we add this to the list? And when she goes, that's when it gets bought. Or.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I just don't buy. I mean, literally, I don't know when the last. Like, what would I ever buy? What would I buy?

[Morgan]

I mean, do you do, like, house projects and you need stuff?

[Lunchbox]

No, we don't. I don't need anything. I guess I'm saying I don't buy anything.

[Morgan]

Okay, you don't do house projects. You don't buy shoes, pants.

[Lunchbox]

Nope.

[Morgan]

I say that laughingly because I'm pretty sure you wear the same two different pants now.

[Lunchbox]

I got, like, four or five pairs of pants that I wear. These little, like, basketball pants.

[Morgan]

They are. They're like these.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Where did the basketball pants come from? Let's do. Let's do. Where. Where do your clothes come from?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I couldn't tell you where these pants came from, really.

[Morgan]

Have you had them, like, long enough?

[Lunchbox]

Long. Long enough. Yeah. Like, I probably got them on the clearance rack at Academy. 10 bucks, I would bet. And that's where I probably got them. I mean, I couldn't tell you last time I bought.

[Morgan]

And you have no desire to ever get new stuff?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Morgan]

You're just like, stay with whatever I have. Yeah. Like, right now you're wearing a hoodie. I'm pretty sure that one of your sore losers.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

They want you.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I have a new version of this. He gave me an updated version, but this is the OG one.

[Morgan]

He said, yeah, and you have to rotate all your hoodies that you wear at the studio.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, I do. And I. I'm going to say, let me see. Like, there's some shorts. I went to Academy one time and they had, like, a sale on these shorts, and they had, like, three white lines on the side. They're Adidas. And I guess they're kind of lacrosse shorts. And I bought nine pairs of them for six bucks a pop. And that was probably 15 years ago, and I still wear them to this day.

[Morgan]

Seriously?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Are all nine of them still standing or have some.

[Lunchbox]

No, they're still standing. All of them. Like, my buddy Oscar. Shout Out Oscar, Corpus Christi, Texas. Go see him if you need a cell phone or if you need. If your business is looking to switch plans. He does the business plans.

[Morgan]

He's your. He's your cell phone guy when you're on it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah. He. As a groomsman in his wedding, he gave us some Nike Shorts and they got pockets. Still got him. So 15 years ago he got married.

[Morgan]

What about your kids? Did you. Or I assume with your wife, she shops and gets them clothes?

[Lunchbox]

No, we don't really buy them clothes either. I mean, the oldest one is. He gets new clothes.

[Morgan]

Got it. And then they just get passed.

[Lunchbox]

And then they get passed down. Like the youngest one he has, he is wearing the same clothes as his two older brothers.

[Morgan]

Did you? Not ever. Where were you? Where are you at? In the sibling of your.

[Lunchbox]

I'm the youngest.

[Morgan]

Did you get everything passed down to you?

[Lunchbox]

Probably, yeah. I mean, when I got to school age, I mean, I got to pick out clothes, but not very many. But yeah, I didn't.

[Morgan]

So are you going to let them pick out clothes when they get to, like, school, or is this going to be a consistent thing?

[Lunchbox]

Well, here's the problem. Here's the problem with our stupid school, okay? The stupid thing is they have to wear a solid colored shirt, so they can't wear like Mickey Mouse. They can't wear their favorite sports teams. So there's nothing really to pick out any color.

[Morgan]

It just has to be solid.

[Lunchbox]

Yes. So you just get a variety of colors and they, you send them to school.

[Morgan]

Private bougie school?

[Lunchbox]

No, it's a public school. We don't do. We don't do private school.

[Morgan]

It's a public school.

[Lunchbox]

And they, they say it's distracting. It's not a uniform because you can wear purple. I can wear green. This person wear red. As long as it's solid colored.

[Morgan]

That's crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I agree. Because, like, I see my sister's kids.

[Morgan]

That feels like a uniform to me. I know it's not. Right. Because they don't have to purchase a specific thing or whatever, but it feels very uniform.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I agree. And it makes them not be able to go pick out their favorite Sonic the Hedgehog shirt. They can't wear it to school. Like, that's fun. I remember those days, like in the cute pictures of, you know, with them smiling and Sonic the Hedgehog on there. Instead it's just them in a green shirt, them in a red shirt. And they. But they say it cuts down on distractions. I'm like, what distraction?

[Morgan]

I am curious to study on that. If it actually does. How old at this, like, where they're at, how old does the school go?

[Lunchbox]

Fifth grade.

[Morgan]

I'm just curious, like, the study on that. If it actually does, like, because you just don't even have kids in general wearing a lot of brand names. Right. You have Them wearing more like sports teams. You have them wearing Disney stuff.

[Lunchbox]

Disney, Mickey Mouse, he Man, cars, whatever. I mean, whatever they're into.

[Morgan]

Mm.

[Lunchbox]

Elsa, was that. That's Frozen Girls. A lot of girls wear that, so that shocks me.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So, I mean, there's no real. It's not exciting to go. For them to go pick out clothes. Because I'll take a purple shirt. I'll take a green shirt.

[Morgan]

That's crazy. I never heard of that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, either Die.

[Morgan]

Is it. Did it start with your oldest or did it start recently?

[Lunchbox]

Well, no, I don't know. I just started a kindergarten.

[Morgan]

Okay, so when he. Is he in kindergarten or is he.

[Lunchbox]

No, it's kindergarten.

[Morgan]

He's the first one.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And so that's. I mean, that's our first time at school.

[Morgan]

So much bigger than just kindergarten.

[Lunchbox]

Ah. Yeah. I know it's not good.

[Morgan]

But I also have no frame of reference. I think being somebody who doesn't have any kids. When I see kids, like, my age, predictor is so off, it's hard. When I see him, I'm like, oh, you're like six. And they'll be like two. And I just can't. I can't place it together.

[Lunchbox]

It's wild. It's weird to see, like, we met up with another family this weekend, this past weekend, and their kid is 10. Their oldest kid is 10. I mean, the dude probably weighs 115 pounds of solid muscle. He's probably about 4, almost 5ft tall. I mean, he is huge. And he's only 10.

[Morgan]

And I'm like, are his parents like that? No, he's just like, kind of a random.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I think like somewhere in the fan, like, the grandpas or something are big. But I mean, he is a huge kid. And I'm like, he's 10. Like. Yeah. I mean, he looks like he could be in middle school.

[Morgan]

Is that crazy? Also, I feel like looking at. And maybe it's more the girls now, but, like, I'll see young girls. I'm like, you look like you're gonna be a freshman in high school. And they're in, like, fifth, sixth grade.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, okay.

[Morgan]

And I can't tell if that's because of the makeup.

[Lunchbox]

And you wanna know what that is?

[Morgan]

What?

[Lunchbox]

You're old.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

That is your old getting older.

[Lunchbox]

That's getting older. I mean, people used to say the same thing about us.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And now it's like, when you can't tell, it's like you're old.

[Morgan]

Dang. That's true. But they, too. They really do wear, like, more makeup and things that, like, put it this way, when I was in middle school, like, we had multiple layers. We had, like, orange stuff caked on our face. We had funny. Like, we were. We were learning what to do and how to look. Right.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, social media has taught them how to do makeup.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So now they all look like they're, like, glamorous red carpet by fifth grade.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Morgan]

Do you know what I mean? So there's that level.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But, yes, I do think I'm getting older, because it is really hard for me to tell ages now, but there's that level, too, where I feel like they look older, younger now.

[Lunchbox]

Look older, younger.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Morgan]

Where before, like, we looked funny. Like, we were. We went through an awkward phase. I don't think they have awkward phases now.

[Lunchbox]

I was watching, like, sort of like I was watching the Chargers and Ravens last Monday night, and there's a wide receiver for The Chargers named Lad McConkley. McConkley, McConkley. McConKley. I can't talk early in the morning. Whatever. Lad McConkey, and he played at Georgia, and it's his first year in the NFL, and he looks like he is 14 years old.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Lunchbox]

Like, they show his face. I'm like, that dude is 12.

[Morgan]

Isn't that crazy?

[Lunchbox]

And I'm like, dang. And that's when I know I'm like, I'm old. I get it. I'm old.

[Morgan]

I will accept that. But that's probably true.

[Lunchbox]

But he looked. I mean, he looks 12.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I feel old now. Now that we're having this con. Yeah, I feel okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. That's what it is. It's okay. You feel old. You're old. It's. It happens. And it's. It's weird, but it does happen.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I know. Do you still get that? Because when you shave, you look super young. But when you have your beard, like, you could. You have your little white patch right here.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. On my chin.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And you don't even have any white in your hair.

[Lunchbox]

I have a couple, but not in a lot.

[Morgan]

Like, it's like, not like how your beard.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no. Not big patches.

[Morgan]

So when your beard grows in, you definitely look older because of the color. But, like, when you shave your beard, you look super young.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So do people always ask you, when you're fully shaved, how old are you, or do they question it?

[Lunchbox]

Not as much question it, but they like people that I know. Like, dang, you look so much younger. Like, it is crazy.

[Morgan]

Do you get ID'd? Yeah, but do you get ID'd when you have your beard?

[Lunchbox]

Not really. Yeah, well, I mean, a little bit. They're like, oh, I have to do it. You know what I mean?

[Morgan]

But like, they know you're old.

[Lunchbox]

But like, when I'm clean shaven, I'm like, oh, you know, I'm 40. How old am I? 43. And they're like, I need to see the ID.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

It's weird. But I mean, people do say, hey, do you ever age? I mean, it's just my skin routine, guys. Just my skin routine.

[Morgan]

And your skin routine is probably soap and water.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Have you. Has your wife tried to get you on any type of skin routine?

[Lunchbox]

No. Like, what did she put me on? I don't know.

[Morgan]

I assume she probably has one.

[Lunchbox]

She has something.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but you. She hasn't tried to get you on it?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Morgan]

You're a lost cause.

[Lunchbox]

I'm a lost cause. Yeah, but it's working.

[Morgan]

I mean, it ha. Yeah. You don't look like you've aged. It's just when you get your beard and you have the color and that's.

[Lunchbox]

And I try to, like, here's my thing. I try to stay clean shaven. But shaving is probably the most annoying thing I have to do in my life. That is the worst. And it doesn't take long, but golly, I hate shaving more than anything.

[Morgan]

Why is that?

[Lunchbox]

It's annoying.

[Morgan]

Like, because it's. It takes a while or just because you just don't like it?

[Lunchbox]

I just don't like it.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

It's annoying.

[Morgan]

I don't know. I don't have to shave my face.

[Lunchbox]

But I got to shave your legs.

[Morgan]

I do get that. Like, that's why, why girls call them everything showers. When you have to do all your shaving and you have to do multiple hair masks and it's a whole process.

[Lunchbox]

And then you do that and then you have the hair on the wall that you forget to take off the wall. That's disgusting.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we have lots of hair. Yeah, it's hard to keep up with, man.

[Lunchbox]

A couple times. I mean, first time I saw that, I was like, wow, what the hell? Did the shower the freaking animal.

[Morgan]

I'm pretty sure every man has had.

[Lunchbox]

That experience when he starts looking disgusting.

[Morgan]

I have to vacuum. Like, even my bathroom. I have to vacuum my bathroom so often. Cause I just shed my hair. Just sheds.

[Lunchbox]

Ugh.

[Morgan]

So I have to vacuum a lot.

[Lunchbox]

I'll tell you what's the worst is the wife's hair clogging. The drain in the shower and then you gotta pull it out of there.

[Morgan]

Have you had to pull it out?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. I got a little thing from Home Depot, man. It's like a. Has little spikes on the side of it, and you put it down there and you twist it and it pulls it out and it stinks. Like, ugh.

[Morgan]

But at least you don't have to pull it out by the hand anymore.

[Lunchbox]

Well, yeah, because the. The. The drain is in the shower. Like, it doesn't come up. Like it's in the tie or whatever the bathroom. Whatever the ground is. I don't know what it is.

[Morgan]

No, I know.

[Lunchbox]

But yes, you'd stick that thing down there and you twist it and it pulls it up and it's like.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I often. I often think of my dad when it comes to these scenarios, because.

[Lunchbox]

You know how to clean your hair out of your drain or do you call the plumber?

[Morgan]

No, I don't call the plumber. The drain in my bathroom is awesome. I don't seem to have that issue. But my sink and stuff, I have to make sure I keep cleaning those.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. See?

[Morgan]

So. Yes, but I do that. But I do the. Like, the sinks manually. But the other ones, I don't. But I. I think about my dad because he had four daughters.

[Lunchbox]

That sucks.

[Morgan]

And we often, you know, weren't good about cleaning as kids and as we got older, and he loved to clean. That was something he liked doing.

[Lunchbox]

What? He liked to clean.

[Morgan]

Yeah. He always liked keeping the house super clean. He. He's where I get kind of my cleaning OCD from.

[Lunchbox]

I need to get your dad checked into a hospital asap.

[Morgan]

No, he liked it. It's like, it's a thing for him. And I think it was because we were so messy. Again, poor daughters.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So he had to just.

[Lunchbox]

Four children. It doesn't matter. Daughters, boys, girls. Two boys, two girls. It is messy.

[Morgan]

Yes. But I think about specifically this hair. And you know that all of our bathrooms had that all the time, and he was always cleaning them. I don't know how many times he had to do that in his lifetime. You know what I mean?

[Lunchbox]

That sucks. That sucks.

[Morgan]

That's what that made me think of.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I bet it was an emotional household. Yes.

[Morgan]

I mean, a lot of ups and downs. I played a lot of sports. We all played a lot of sports.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but just women in general. 4, 5 women in one house. The emotions just had to be all over the place.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Maybe that's why he's so cool. Calm, collected. Nothing can bother him. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Because he's seen it all. He's like, oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

Whatever. Yeah, he was always good with it. He was always good. If I ever had, like, a breakdown, I was crying in my closet. He just come sit with me.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, that's what he is. He's your dad. He's not going to just ignore you.

[Morgan]

Well, no, but some dads could, you know?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you're right.

[Morgan]

Like, and he chose not to. He's like, okay, what's going on?

[Lunchbox]

I'm like, I. For about 20 seconds, I'm like, all right, all right. And so. All right, you're good. Good. You can start crying now. Let's, let's. Let's. Let's wrap it up.

[Morgan]

See, he could have done that. He didn't. He let. He let me cry it out. Okay, we're going to take one more quick, quick break. We'll be right back. Lunchbox. You'll love this. I say that sarcastically. I was at a place in San Antonio when I went to visit our stations, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I got woken up at 5am to a Zumba class happening in the little, like, courtyard next to my room.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Morgan]

All I could think was having a fit right now.

[Lunchbox]

Wait, wait. Okay, so it wasn't the hotel. Like, it was just next to the hotel?

[Morgan]

No, no, no, it was in the hotel. So the hotel I was at had this courtyard.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's not cool.

[Morgan]

In my. All of them kind of had these little patios that went to the courtyard. As soon as you opened the door, they were there. There was no. Like, where'd you stay at? I think it was called the Hotel Riviera. It was super beautiful and right next to the Riverwalk.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Really, really pretty. And I loved it. But I. When I. I'm not kidding you, I was like. I kind of, like, woke up a little bit, like, what is that noise? And all of a sudden I opened up my little. What. What do you call them? Shutter doors where they both swing open.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Morgan]

You know what I'm talking. Doors.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Patio doors, windows, sliders. Doors.

[Morgan]

Well, they. They both swing open, right? And all of a sudden it's like. And I was like, oh, my God, this is not happening.

[Lunchbox]

No, that's not cool.

[Morgan]

What would you have done?

[Lunchbox]

I'd have called the front desk and what the is going on down there? Like, hello. Like, no one said when I was checking in there was going to be a zuma class at 5am I paid to stay here. I didn't be paid to be Woke up by 5, 6, 7, 8. No, no, no, no. Like, shut that down.

[Morgan]

They were so happy, too. But the best part was, like, this wasn't a full class, right? If it was like a, you know, 20 people, I'd be like, okay, well, I'm clearly outnumbered here by four. Yes. There's the instructor and three participants.

[Lunchbox]

And are these participants people that work at the hotel or they stay at the hotel and they hired a private Zumba instructor or whatever you called it. I don't know which one you said.

[Morgan]

Yeah, Zumba.

[Lunchbox]

Like, come on, man. They gotta tell you that. Like, hey, just so you know, we got a zumba class at 5am if you don't want to hear it, we won't put you on that courtyard. Okay? Yeah, I don't want on that courtyard.

[Morgan]

That's something I'm pretty sure everybody would have said no.

[Lunchbox]

You know what happened to me one time? What is. I. This is so embarrassing. Where was I? It was in Austin. And I go to sleep. You know, we're iheart country, and I don't know if it was this year or last year. I don't remember. And freaking 5:10am the alarm.

[Morgan]

Nothing worse.

[Lunchbox]

I'm like, what in the world? And I'm hitting it and hitting it and hitting it, and it won't go off. And I'm like, what in the world? I call the front desk. I'm like, hey, I cannot get this alarm to shut off. Please help me. Please help me, like. And they're like, well, you should be. It should. You know. And I'm like, I'm hitting it. I'm hitting it. All right, we'll send someone up. And then I'm like, oh, never mind. It went off. It went off. It's off, it's off. I go back to sleep six minutes later.

[Morgan]

So you found the snooze button.

[Lunchbox]

And I'm like, I don't understand. And I called the front desk again. I'm like, it's going off again. It's going off again. And they're like, just unplug it from the wall. And so I take that cord and I ram. I rip it out of the wall. Still going off. And I'm like, hey, man, it's still going off. You got to send someone quick. Like, I can't have this happening. I need to, like, because I had no kids. I'm like, I'm going to sleep in. This is going to be amazing. It's 5:15 in the freaking morning, and they come Up. I'd unplug the fridge. And so they unplugged the alarm clock.

[Morgan]

In all fairness, it was early in the morning and you were like, getting awoken by an alarm sound.

[Lunchbox]

A storm.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And what's funny. But he did. The person that came up did try to turn it off by touching. They're like, yeah, it seems broken. And he took it with me. He goes, you want me to bring you new one? I was like, no, no, no.

[Morgan]

Like, I don't need one of these.

[Lunchbox]

So now every time I leave a hotel room, I set the alarm for.

[Morgan]

5Am you do it to everybody else.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Just because you had that one experience. That's so mean. That's like the prank that keeps on giving, but you never get the satisfaction of it.

[Lunchbox]

You never get the satisfaction of it. But you know, you know, that next morning, like, ah, it's going off.

[Morgan]

Those poor people.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I wonder, like, what's funny is, what if no one's staying in that room? And it just goes off?

[Morgan]

It just keeps constantly going off. And somebody probably next door is like.

[Lunchbox]

Are these people gonna turn on their darling arm? Like, shut up.

[Morgan]

I would. If I heard that and it kept going off, I think I would get to the point of having concern that somebody died because they're not turning it.

[Lunchbox]

Off then think about that.

[Morgan]

You know what I mean, though?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Because you're like, okay, well, they're not turning it off. I would. I don't even think I would go to the point of, like, nobody's in that room. I would literally be like, somebody's dead.

[Lunchbox]

That's true. Or they just sleep. Really. They're. They're. They're still sleeping. They won't wake up. Yeah. And what's funny is you don't even. Like, when I go to a hotel now, I should just unplug the alarm clock. But what I do is I throw a shirt over it because it's so bright. Like, why not just unplug it? Like, why. Why do I throw a shirt over it?

[Morgan]

You have a thing with alarm locks.

[Lunchbox]

Well, because when you're trying to sleep and it's in that dark room, you know, and then it has that bright light, you're like, oh. And the easy thing would be to unplug it, but I just throw a shirt over it.

[Morgan]

You know, it's funny, though, is because you can fall asleep everywhere. I'm surprised you're sensitive to.

[Lunchbox]

No, not sensitive to. But when I wake up and I see it, I'm like, oh, but, like, if it's just so dark. It's like, oh, I feel so much better.

[Morgan]

It does feel better. Dark. But I. Let me tell you, if I am really tired, I can pass out. You can put me in a room that is fully lit and, like, there's noises around me happening and I will just pass out.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Like, I. My.

[Lunchbox]

I don't have to be tired.

[Morgan]

Really. You can. Well, you can fall asleep quickly and you do that on planes, so that tracks. But I have this question for you because you did go overseas for our last vacation and you had a long flight. How long was that flight?

[Lunchbox]

No, it was only five hours.

[Morgan]

Oh, dang it. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Because we went. So I flew to Minnesota, and then Minnesota to Iceland was only five hours. It was crazy.

[Morgan]

Is that because Iceland kind of sits in the middle before.

[Lunchbox]

You're asking the wrong person. I didn't even know where Iceland was.

[Morgan]

But you went, so you gotta see it.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I didn't know until the day before we left and Ray looked it up on a map. I had no idea where Iceland was.

[Morgan]

Well, I'm about to make, like, my longest flight ever. Me and my friend Julia Cole, which I'm pretty sure you've met her a few times. We're going to Paris together, which is going to be so much fun.

[Lunchbox]

Excuse me.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So much fun.

[Lunchbox]

You're going to Paris together.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but I've never done a long flight like that. I'm pretty sure the longest flight I had ever been on was California to Hawaii. And that was four hours. This flight, I have to go from Chicago to over, like, Paris, and it's like nine hours.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And I'm kind of freaking out because I don't know what I'm going to do with myself on a plane for nine hours.

[Lunchbox]

Well, you'll sleep.

[Morgan]

But do you take, like. Do you, like, take like, melatonin or, like, pills and like, pass.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Morgan]

Or you just, like, try and force yourself to fall asleep. I know, because yours is a little different because you can just fall asleep. Well, you see what I'm saying?

[Lunchbox]

Here's the. Here's the thing. The first time I took an over. Whatever night flight, I went to Greece for my honeymoon.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And I didn't sleep but two hours because I was so paranoid about being over the water. And so I watched that little tracker.

[Morgan]

And so then made it even worse.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, for sure. But it was my first time flying and I. Over. And I'm scared to fly over that water because, you know, so vast and wide. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if the plane Decides it wants to make a landing in the water. They'll never find my body and I don't like that. I don't want to be fish food.

[Morgan]

Oh, well, I think there's, I mean.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, that's, there's nothing, there's nothing worse than that.

[Morgan]

That's the worst one. Well, I feel like though, I mean, it's just you would die before you hit the.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I'm not. I know that I'm not going to survive.

[Morgan]

Yeah, so you wouldn't, you wouldn't know. You'd become fish food. At least it'd be environmentally friendly.

[Lunchbox]

No, that's what I'm saying.

[Morgan]

Like you love the environment.

[Lunchbox]

So like if you don't, it would pollute the water.

[Morgan]

Well, but you know, your body. I'm not talking about the plane.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no, no, no, no. Now. Ah. So I didn't sleep. And you get there and it's daytime and it's like. Oh. And so then we took like a boat cruise, like ferry thing. I fell asleep the whole time.

[Morgan]

How long was the boat?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I don't remember. I was out. I mean, I kept trying to stay awake. I started to stay awake.

[Morgan]

Yeah, because you're probably also jet lagged.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, so, so tired.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

But getting to Iceland, I mean, I just slept. I mean, here's the hard part though is, I mean, if I, if I went to sleep right when we took off, it was going to be five hours of sleep.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And I didn't, I stayed up for a little bit, didn't watch a little bit TV and probably slept for three and a half, four hours, something. So then you get to Iceland, you're really tired, but got to start rocking.

[Morgan]

Okay, well you, but you also, you sleep so easily. So if you're out there and you've done these, I need, I need pro tips for long travel because I'm, I'm kind of.

[Lunchbox]

What time you leave?

[Morgan]

Well, we're going to leave at like 5 and we'll get in super early. Like 7:00am or something like that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So 5. You're going to be tired by 8:00.

[Morgan]

I'm hoping so. And I'll fall asleep. But also like, do people bring like little pillows? What, what pillows actually work? Because I've tried neck pillows and I don't really like them. I need like an actual pillow.

[Lunchbox]

I don't use a pillow.

[Morgan]

I know you don't. You literally just throw your head back. You're like, here we go catching flies. Yeah, but I Did get. I did get the window seat on all of my planes that I have. So that's a. Oh, that's key. Yeah, that was big. But. But now I need. I. I just. I need tips for long travel.

[Lunchbox]

Put your head against the window and fall asleep.

[Morgan]

That's like that. Yes, that's you. I feel like that will work for you.

[Lunchbox]

No, it'll work for you because you'll be so tired. I'll be so dark in that cabin, and it'll be great.

[Morgan]

I'm a night out. Are you a night owl?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I'd rather be awake at night. I. I wake up at night, I.

[Morgan]

Feel like I'm gonna be like, sitting there like, stir crazy because I'm sitting here for nine hours and I want to be wide awake.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I should go to bed earlier on the weekends. And my wife goes to bed, and I'm like, oh, yeah, I'll be right up. And then like two hours later, I'm like, man, I'm still watching a football game or just something on tv just because I'm like, it's quiet and I like being awake at night. And then I go to sleep, and then my kids get up at 6am and I'm like, oh, my God, I should have gone to bed earlier. What am I doing?

[Morgan]

You know, there's a name for that. It's called. I think it's called, like, revenge. Procrastinating. Not in a sense of like, you're procrastinating thing, but you're. It's like a revenge that you didn't have the day to do what you wanted to do, and so now you're like, kind of revenge, pulling on yourself, maybe.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, like, it's really dumb.

[Morgan]

No, it is. But you feel good in the moment.

[Lunchbox]

You feel great in the moment. You're like, oh, man, this is so cool, man. Like, I'm just living my best life. And then like four hours later when the kids are like, dad, dad, dad, what's for breakfast? Dad, dad, dad, Biggest pancakes. You're like, I regret everything. Why did I do that? That show is not worth it. That stupid movie wasn't worth it. That football game wasn't worth it. That basketball game wasn't worth it. Oh, my gosh. I didn't even care about the two teams. I didn't care about that movie. I was just watching it because it was on. Oh.

[Morgan]

Yep. And yet we still keep doing it.

[Lunchbox]

I'd already seen that episode of Seinfeld five times, but let me watch it again just because I'm awake.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, it's called it, I think. I don't know if it's procrastinating, but it's called revenge. Something. It's like.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I know what that's called.

[Morgan]

That kind of revenge. Oh, you're taking back your time.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Is kind of what it.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, maybe theory is. Well, I'm really just giving it away because I got to get up early when they wake up.

[Morgan]

I know. I know. Okay, well, we're going to jump out of here, tell the people.

[Lunchbox]

That's it. We're done.

[Morgan]

Well, with this one. Yeah. We got to go answer some listener questions.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I can't wait to hear the questions.

[Morgan]

Yeah. What?

[Lunchbox]

Is there any questions about the sweater?

[Morgan]

Oh, there was, but we're keeping it civil on the Vespis this weekend. Basically.

[Lunchbox]

I kept waiting. I was like, when is the sweater going to come up? But we're not going to talk about the sweater.

[Morgan]

We talked about it. You. You love to, like, go on things forever. I don't have the capacity.

[Lunchbox]

I know. And I. And I want everybody to know. No, I don't hate Morgan. I don't care. Like you guys. Why would I? I'm not mad at Morgan. Like, it's not a big deal.

[Morgan]

Mad at Lunchbox. He's like, my brother.

[Lunchbox]

She wanted to kill me, but that's okay. It happens.

[Morgan]

That was, like, in our moment. Lunchbox and I had spent a lot of time together in the past, like, three days, and we were tired, and it has been a long few days.

[Lunchbox]

And I think when she told me to f off.

[Morgan]

I still don't remember that.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Morgan]

I'm sorry.

[Lunchbox]

I still remember it. I kept needling her. Is that what you call it? Needling?

[Morgan]

Like poking?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, poking her all night. Because I'd be like, are you sure you want to stand next to me? Because I got this sweater, this hoodie on. I'm like, oh, you know what I mean? Look at all these people staring at me because I have my hoodie on. And that's when she said, you don't need to be an a hole for no reason. And I'm like, oh, man, my hoodie didn't like that. And you were like, f off. And you stormed off. And I was like, yeah, that's what I do. Like you say, I like to take things and beat a dead horse. I don't let it go and let it go. And I just keep going and going and going.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And there are moments where I hit my threshold, and I'm like, I can't do this anymore.

[Lunchbox]

Sometimes it works. She's like, I can't with you right now. I can't. I can't today. Not today.

[Morgan]

I'm pretty sure there's a few times in our entire. Gosh, has it been like, seven, almost eight years working together? I. I'm pretty sure there's maybe been like, three occasions. And most of the time they're around the CMAs because we spend so much time together. It's exhausting, and we're tired and we've spent, like 14 plus hours. Days working.

[Lunchbox]

It's just. It's. It's. It's rough.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So it's rough. Those are. Those are them. But, yeah, no, we're good. I love Lunchbox still, even though he did look ridiculous. That is what it is.

[Lunchbox]

It is what it is, man. Some people didn't like. Some people don't like style. You know what I mean? What can I say? Haters hate. And I'm great. I mean, they hate me because they ain't me. You know what I mean? Like, that's life. Happy Thanksgiving, guys.

[Morgan]

You feel better now?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying, like, people are like, oh, my God, they hate each other. And I guess I don't care. Like, I really don't care.

[Morgan]

No, I can never hate you. I love you. Like, you're literally like my brother, but you annoy the piss out of me sometimes, and that's what brothers do.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like what sisters do.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly.

[Morgan]

So here we are.

[Lunchbox]

All right, Goodbye, guys.

[Morgan]

Okay. Did you want to promote anything?

[Lunchbox]

You can check out the sore losers. Yeah, Ray and I, we do a little podcast, and you check me out Radio Lunchbox on all the socials, except for Twitter.

[Morgan]

Yeah, he's still not there.

[Lunchbox]

And it's called X, but who calls it X?

[Morgan]

I always try and tag you on the show, and I. I just have to write lunchbox because it can't tag you.

[Lunchbox]

It's really annoying.

[Morgan]

It is. I thought you were about to get back in. Didn't they reach out?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they reached out, but then they're like, all right, go to this email address. And I'm like, I don't have that email address. And then they never responded to that.

[Morgan]

Like, it's like it's a dumpster fire. Anyway, so you're not really missing out on much, honestly. I know, but I know you miss it, but you're really not missing out.

[Lunchbox]

It was weird over there without me.

[Morgan]

It does. It feels weird just writing Lunchbox instead of at Radio Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Morgan]

Okay. You can follow the show at Bobby Bone show and. And me at Webgirl. Morgan. Also, I had my parents on my podcast, take this Personally, talked about my childhood raising four girls. And I also asked my mom about the infamous American Idol situation where she wouldn't let me.

[Lunchbox]

Who talks more in that podcast, your mom or your dad?

[Morgan]

Definitely my mom. My dad got nervous.

[Lunchbox]

That's weird.

[Morgan]

And he's really not. Yeah, like, he's such a big character, but he got on that mic and he's like. He just like forgot what to do.

[Lunchbox]

It's funny because, like, my dad has come on sore losers before and he gets nervous and then afterwards he's like, oh, I should. I should have said this. Oh, I really messed up there. And I'm like, you're way overthinking it. No one is paying attention. No one cares. Yeah, like you, they just. They're excited you're there.

[Morgan]

But it's also, it's just different for us because we're so used to it for them. They're like, this is. I'm not. I don't do this.

[Lunchbox]

And my dad does this a lot. So. You want me to do that? No, dad, get up on the mic.

[Morgan]

But yeah, yeah, there was. They had to share a mic because I hadn't had it set up. So there was that. I'll bring him on for another episode. Maybe another holiday. Yeah, but it was fun to have him on and ask him about that stuff. And my dad talks about a funny situation with one of my ex boyfriends, so. Oh, good stuff over there.

[Lunchbox]

Awkward.

[Morgan]

No, I asked him about it because it involves him being in his underwear and it's like 3:00 in the morning. Being out in the lawn as this dude arrived. Oh, it's hilarious.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I had. I've been in my underwear in front of my in laws one time. That was awkward. See, that was awkward.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, maybe. Maybe we share it on listener Q and A. Yeah. Little tidbit story over there.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay. Bye, people.
