Part two.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

She's breaking down the top seven segments from the Bobby Bones show this week.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Welcome to the best bits, everybody. I hope you're excited to catch up on the Bobby Bones show from this week. Before we get into it, check out part one and part three. This weekend with Lunchbox. Part one, we catch up on life, which is always fun. You may get a little bit different side of Lunchbox than you're used to. You get to just hear different stories than we maybe talk about on the big show. And then part three, listener Q and A. And there's kind of a funny bit that happens at the beginning of listener Q and A that has to do with Lunchbox's punishment this week. So check it out. But if you don't want it, that's okay too. The reason you are here is to catch up on the show. So let's do it.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Woohoo.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Lunchbox asked the show a bathroom etiquette question. He was in the bathroom, didn't close the stall in his situation, and somebody made a comment, and now he's like, did I do something wrong? And the show, for once, might have collectively agreed on one side.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Number seven. All right, bathroom etiquette question from Lunchbox.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And girls don't have this problem because I assume they always close the door when they go in to go to the bathroom in their stalls. But if you're.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

By the way, guys.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, okay.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I know we never. We've never walked into a women's bathroom. We don't know if you guys leave the doors open. It does. Doesn't seem in character. But we shut the door.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

There's no doors open at all in women's restrooms. There's no, like, urinals, anything like that.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Like, you have doors. Sometimes we don't have doors because we're slobs.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But, I mean, y'all have doors and you elect to leave it open.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's his question.

[Morgan]

That's my etiquette question. Thank you for leading me there, Amy. So, you know, if the stalls, you know, are there and you got to use one and you just have to urinate and so you're not sitting down. So I go into the stall and I don't close the door behind me because you're just urinating and just say pee.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You're trying to use a big word. It's funny.

[Morgan]

I thought that's a technical term.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Go ahead, you're good.

[Morgan]

All right, so I have to go pee, and the urinals are full. So I go in the stall And I don't close the door. And some guy from the. One of the sales dude watches in, turns the corner, goes, oh, you can at least close the door. And I'm like, it's the same thing as me standing at a urinal.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Was he being serious or was he kidding?

[Morgan]

I felt, like, kind of annoyed. Any kind of a.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

At the end, I wasn't like, a friend who.

[Morgan]

I don't know him, he's like, could at least close the door. And then he went to the stall next to me, and I was like, wait, Guys close the door when they're just peeing in the stall? I never heard of that. So question is, are you supposed to close the door when you're peeing in a stall?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I'd be curious to know what the girls think first.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I mean, I guess I don't think y'all would have to because your urinals don't have doors and you've got the little protectors on the side. So, yeah, no, I would think that you. You wouldn't have to.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So you vote no.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Leave it open if you want.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Morgan.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Yeah, I feel like you guys already pee openly in the urinals. Why would you close the door then? I feel like the only time you close the door is in another scenario. So if you're, like, facing the toilet and the door is open, you know what's happening?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

If you walk in and someone' sitting on it with the door open.

[Dutch Vet]

Problem.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's weird. I'm out. I'm out. I'm not even standing in that bathroom. Like, I'm out because I don't know what's about to happen next. But yeah, no, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Like, if you're in the stall and you're peeing, you're standing up. Who cares?

[Lunchbox]

Unless you're one of those people that pull their pants all the way down to pee.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

We were. No, not even that. When we were in Austin, there was a guy who worked on a morning show who got butt naked to stand at a urinal.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's messed up.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Took all his clothes off to stand, but also would take all his clothes off to go sit on the toilet as well. And you would walk in and you would see a pile of clothes.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But you know that's impossible.

[Morgan]

You avoided the bathroom at 10, 10am.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

How they've been doing it. Like, I went to high school with a guy that did that.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But because that's how you've been doing it, that. Your honor, it's How I've always been doing it. Well, you're not off. It was the most bizarre thing that they would have to get butt naked to use the bathroom.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I wonder. It makes me think of that guy from high school. Like, I wonder where is he now and does he still have to do that?

[Lunchbox]

He probably still does that.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Does he still have to do it? Because I remember all of our friends would talk about it and be like, it's so weird. He has to take all of his clothes off to go to the bathroom.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And where does that come from? Do your parents like, okay, time to.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Take your clothes off, time to go pee.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So maybe butt naked.

[Morgan]

Maybe when you're a kid, you have a problem like peeing on your clothes, so your parents take them all off, they don't want it. And then you just.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Then you turn 3, 3 or 4, however you are when you don't pee on yourself anymore.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Way older than that guy, right?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I don't know. I don't know. I don't have kids. Yeah, when do kids not pee on themselves anymore?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, so they're really old, man. Yeah, I'm like, did you just pee on yourself?

[Morgan]

Like, why, why is your hand. I peed on it. Like, what? Like how? Yeah, but I mean, I would say maybe.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

When do kids get potty trained? Okay, three, three or four.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, but just because you're potty trained doesn't mean you don't.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, I still pee on myself sometimes too, but I don't do it normally. But yeah, taking your clothes off. Hey, Mike, would you research why people do that? Like, is there some sort of fetish?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It's not a sexual thing at all. You know, sensory thing, maybe. Like you're. You don't feel. You have to feel really comfortable. Nothing on you to be able to go to the bathroom, you know, because sometimes your clothes bother you. My daughter's real sensitive to certain sounds of clothes or touch of clothes and she has to take it off immediately.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Some individuals choose to remove all their clothes while using the bathroom, and the reasons vary. For some, it's a matter of personal comfort, feeling more relaxed and free when naked. Others may have learned this behavior early on, perhaps when toilet training, making it a habitual practice. Additionally, some may associate it with a primal or more natural experience, especially when it comes to number two. Go ahead.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Oh, so I saw this guy talking about how we are using the bathroom all wrong.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

He just wants TikTok views.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, he doesn't. I could tell you hang on a.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Bar over it and just let it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Fall no, but can I show you or is that weird? That feels weird.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Both can happen. Yes, both can happen.

[Lunchbox]

Show us.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

We would like you to show us, and it will be weird, but we're here for it.

[Lunchbox]

Keep your clothes on, though.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

He's wearing a hat that says, ask me about syphilis. You can show us whatever the move is. Yeah, I know, but do it in that chair. This feels like you brought it up.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on, let me move the chair.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

You can't.

[Morgan]

Like, you're not going to be naked.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Or screen grab it or do anything with it.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

What?

[Morgan]

What are you doing?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

How about I am hitting us with the.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Don't clip this because that just feels weird.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Okay, you're the one that brought it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Up, because I thought, oh, my gosh, are we doing that? He said, no, this is okay. Let's take the bathroom out of it. He said you should be sitting like this all the time when you're doing.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Here's the chair.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

You don't even have to be in the chair. He was just talking about how. Let me finish this part before I walk away from my mic. He was talking about how you. We need to open up our hips more, and we're making our hips like we're doing a disservice to ourselves sitting in a chair the way that we do. Like, we should be doing all of our activities like this, not even just going to the bathroom.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You have a mic at the chair. Now Amy's walking to the chair.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It should be like, dude, if she was.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

The bathroom. The chair. This is the greatest bit ever.

[Morgan]

Yes, you are getting in the chair.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Grab the mic.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Let me read your book.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Grab the mic. Oh, Amy, why did you just break everything on my desk?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, the chair's the toilet. Go ahead.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

This is why people get naked on these bathroom, because they can't control all.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

This is like, if I was reading your book. Okay, we're not going to the bathroom because it's inappropriate.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You're the one that. No, do it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Do it, because it made me think of it, but I don't know if my hips can do it. He was, like, folding laundry like this. Like, everything squatting. Everything's like this. Like, he'd be, like, folding laundry. He'd be reading a book. He'd be answering emails.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Get this on camera.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

So then he said, okay, when it's time to go to the bathroom, he gets up on the. Like this.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Stands on the toilet like this. Feet on the. On the.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yes, like this. Here's how he does everything on the. He. He lives his life. He's like, if you're not living like this, like, you're.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Who are you following? Why is your algorithm giving you this?

[Morgan]

What are you doing?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, what else are you watching?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Him. But he popped up in my algorithm. And what was really disturbing is he had on. He had on, like, thin, white cotton pants.

[Morgan]

Okay, yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Now. Now it's gone to fetish. It wasn't. Now it has.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, no, no. Okay, this is real. Because I'm concerned with my hips and my aging and taking care of my body and my bones. And he said. And like being flexible. And he said, we're messing when we're sitting like this. He's like, it's so bad. Traditional toilet or toilet or desk or.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

If I sit on the toilet for more than three minutes, my leg goes to sleep.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's why you got to go squatty potty. Guys, I don't know what you're waiting on.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Get on board. That's basically what Amy's doing. She's squatting on top of the lid.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, that's. That's.

[Lunchbox]

Does your guy say stand on it?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I don't even follow him. He's in my algorithm. Do you want me to show you?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, I don't want to be. I don't want to see anymore. Okay, everybody, thank you.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Thank you.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

We all have that one body part that doesn't quite work exactly like it's supposed to. That's just kind of how bodies work sometimes, especially as you get older. And so the show decided to share their most jacked up body parts. And this is in reference to a celebrity's body part that got photographed and it's kind of going viral. So the show shared that and also their most jacked up body parts. And this segment kind of made me feel a little weird. Then I started looking at my body like, oh, dang, I got a lot of jacked up parts.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Number six. We're gonna go around the room. Be honest. Share your most jacked up body part. Now I want to show you a picture as you'll look here in the studio on the screen. This is LeBron James's foot. And it's not from being injured. It's from playing basketball his whole life. And when you do that much running, cutting, jumping, your foot just starts to be shaped differently. And so this is his foot. His pinky toe is basically.

[Morgan]

Oh, that is that nasty.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So it's like the binding, it's not from an injury. It's from repetitive running, cutting, stopping, over. I mean, 30 years of basketball. Because he's 40.

[Lunchbox]

Terrible.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

More than 40. So his foot's jacked up.

[Morgan]

I'm pretty gross.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I would. You know what? I would trade, though? I take that foot for.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah. All his other talent.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, that's not. Yeah, I mean, that, that's tough. But he's out on the beach, just chilling. He didn't care. He's LeBron James. He's got jacked up foot. You know, that jacked up foot did. Made him millions of dollars and arguably the best or second best basketball player ever. What's your most jacked up body part? Anybody want to Volunteer to go first.

[Morgan]

I will.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I mean, it's not that bad, but my feet are disgusting. Like, I have my big toe on my right foot. Takes a right turn.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Like 90 degrees.

[Morgan]

Like 90 degrees. Like, I playing soccer, got kicked, and it just.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So an injury. Not broke. Maybe I would.

[Morgan]

I mean, I. I would assume that's what happened. And maybe it broke, but, I mean, my toes are just jacked and they kind of look like that.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, sports injuries. I have a couple of those. I didn't think about saying that because that sounds.

[Lunchbox]

It sounds cool.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Manly.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Okay. Anything else? No.

[Morgan]

I mean, yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, it's not true. Anything else? You can't touch your shoulders. Your arms are jacked.

[Lunchbox]

That's huge.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh.

[Morgan]

Oh. Well, that's not something you can see, though.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

We can't. When you can't touch your shoulders.

[Morgan]

I cannot touch my shoulders. You are correct.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, you can't. Like, there's things you can't do.

[Morgan]

I can't scratch myself on the back. I can't.

[Lunchbox]

You can't pat yourself on the back.

[Morgan]

I can't pat myself on the back. I can't touch my shoulders. I can't turn my palms up to the sky.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Like, that is like when the Macarena came.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

He could have filed a lawsuit because he wasn't able to do it.

[Lunchbox]

Couldn't do it.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. He's like, this is not a fair dance.

[Lunchbox]

When he eats cereal, it's like, the spoon's a shovel.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

He can't do it like that. I can't turn the arm. Okay, Amy, what's your most jacked up body part?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

My right earlobe.

[Morgan]

That's not right.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I've never noticed it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Oh, yeah, no, it's the one where my earring ripped all the way through, and then we had Dr. Lucky come and sew it up, but it's still just a mess because now I have less of an earlobe. She had to, like, pull the skin and just. It looks gross and weird.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Do you ever wear your hair back fully, or are you.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Only on my right ear.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So you're conscious of it? It bothers you?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, it bothers me. And when I wear certain types of earrings, it just looks all gross and, like, the hole is. And it's not her fault the other one's getting that way. But, like, even my kids will point out, like, if I have my hair in a ponytail, and my. Depending on what earrings I'm wearing, my kids will be like, mom, ew. What's going on with your ear? And I'm like, Stop.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That sucks. But you're the one that ripped it out, though, right?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I ripped it out, but because it.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Got caught in a shirt or something. Is that right?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

In junior high, my earring got caught in the lunch line in some girl's sweater, and she started walking and pulled it, and it ripped it so it made the hole. And then just slowly, over time, the hole got bigger and bigger and bigger until there was just a little bit of skin left.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And what did you do to rip it? I felt like. You did that.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, I had hoops in, and we were at my son's birthday party, and I was talking with my hands, like I do, and my hand hit my earring. I guess it just hit at the right.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's what I was looking for. She ripped her own earring out.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

And all of a sudden, everyone's like, amy, your earring's on the ground, but the back is still in it. Like. Like. And then I held my ear, and I was like, oh. And my ear looked like a. Like a lizard's tongue, you know, just split. So my earlobe. My right earlobe, to be specific, is pretty jacked up.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Okay. But still probably not your most.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Do you think that's not my most jacked up?

[Lunchbox]

You have a tail that's pretty jacked up.

[Morgan]

You have a butt bone that comes.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Out and, like, wiggles when you're happy.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I forgot about that. So I will back you up on the fact that my tailbone is pretty nasty.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, it isn't nasty.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It's pretty weird.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, it's you. It's original. It's original.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It's.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, it's original. It's a tail, Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

So mine's not too obvious, but I cut my left index finger when I was sharpening a knife, and they had to do surgery where they sewed the little tenon back together. But now when it. My hand rests, my finger just stays straight.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You can't rest your pointer finger.

[Lunchbox]

Not really. I can close it to close it and grab things.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

But if it just rests. This is how it rests.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You're always pointing.

[Lunchbox]

I'm always pointing. So if I'm driving with my left hand on the wheel, I'm always pointing at the driver ahead of me.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, at least it's your pointer finger and not your middle finger that would always be up and two. Like, my boyfriend has something similar that happens with his pinky, and it's embarrassing.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You wouldn't say pinky. I thought we were going somewhere else.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, but every time he picks up a drink, his pinky is sticking out and it's embarrassing.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That may not be why. I don't know. Some people just drink like that. It's pretty feminine. I have three that I listed. I have tiny nipples.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

What?

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. Never noticed that they're abnormally small?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I have not noticed.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. Thankful.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But that's a good thing. It's a good thing we haven't noticed.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Even though I don't sit here with my shirt off all the time. Yeah. But I have abnormally tiny nipples, which is weird. I have. In this one you don't really see, but I have a weird, like double jointed thumb that comes into play a lot where it's just always like this. Whoa. And so. But it will stay back in that second joint a lot of times. And I have to like purposefully keep it in the front joint so it doesn't look weird. The other one is on my. First of all, I have a massive head. That's showbiz, baby. Right? A lot of people have big heads. But about my massive head, when I get a haircut, I have moles on my head. And they like have to go through a mountain range sometimes. And so the moles on my head. Oh, yeah, it sucks. It's embarrassing.

[Lunchbox]

You can never really shave your head, huh?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I did once. My mom cried.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's not nice.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's why I said that's not nice. Yeah. So tiny nipples leads the pack. Weird thumb and then have moles that you can't see on my massive head. But when I get a haircut by somebody the first time and they have to like, comb through it, it's like speed. They're coming too fast. The speed bumps are to slow them down. Oh, so my whole body's weird. Did I miss my biggest one? Is there one that you're like. You didn't say?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I mean, your, your eyes.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, the eyes is a good one. Pretty jacked up.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But you can't.

[Lunchbox]

You look at them and tell you're colorblind.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, you can't look at my tailbone until this is your motion. I'm wearing something tight.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But you can if you can actually see it. My. My right eye doesn't work. But they move the same way. You wouldn't know. My right eye doesn't.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Okay, well, lunchbox similar like you. I mean, I guess he would have to like do his arms for you to see.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, you see over there sometimes, like, why is he moving his hands like that? And he's like, well, I can't turn my hands over. Like you said. If he's eating cereal, you're like, did someone teach him how to eat?

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty funny.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But he can't. He can't. Tie. Tie. Really?

[Morgan]

No, I can't do it. Like, if my collar in the back is messed up, it's like, really hard to.

[Lunchbox]

He can't button the top. Button that really hard.

[Morgan]

That's really hard.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. You're just, like, attacking my brain. What?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, I wasn't. You. You attacked my tailbone.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's a physical thing.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's not an attack. That's a physical thing that you've brought up many times.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, you've brought up your. You brought up your brain and your eyes many times.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But me, you're like, I think you're gonna be your anxiety and depression. And I'm like, well, I'm not. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Like, that's not say that.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But I just want to kind of what it felt like.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, fine. Attack my hormones.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I don't need to. I don't need to. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Last weekend was Easter, and Bobby, Amy, and Eddie all had some stories to share from the big holiday weekend. So we talked about that. They involved Arkansas, a golden bunny, and Charleston number five.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

How was your weekend?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It was really good.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, I went to Charleston.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah. And first thing when I saw Ray this morning, I was like, you're right, Charleston's amazing. I'm obsessed. Like, I already want to go back. I'd never been before, and I never knew how quaint and amazing it was. And Ray just looked at me and goes, yeah. He goes, I really feel like that's exactly how America was supposed to be. And then we ruined it. But Charleston, it just. It's so perfect. I loved it.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

What'd you do?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I mean, we did a lot of just, well, eating. They have really good food and then walking around and just seeing the sights. And we were there for less than 48 hours. So we didn't have time to, like, do a lot of the museums because we were trying to just rest and be and go with the flow. But there's just good shopping, even just window shopping and trying stuff on and being like, oh, let's pop in here and grab a bite to eat. Like, the food was so amazing.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

We went to Arkansas, went to Fayetteville. That's where my Caitlyn's sister and our brother in law lives. And then her parents came over so we did all Easter weekend there and went to church and came home after church yesterday. It was good. We had a good time. It's just kids are a lot.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, man.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And I like those kids. Kids I didn't. I don't like. I don't know how I could do it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, I mean, but also, you're only with them. Yes, I'm sure you do like them, but you're also. We're only with them for how. How long.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

The baby wasn. They have like, that baby. Baby doesn't make any noise at all. It's pretty awesome. And the nephew is great. He's just a boy and he runs through stuff and he hit me right in the nuts. He jumped on me. I mean, straight elbow right in the nuts. And he was like, ha ha ha. I'm like, yeah.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Ha ha.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

One day I'm saved. I made a note. I'm gonna get him back soon. He's about 13.

[Lunchbox]

There you go.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I'm gonna get him right back. I'm a note. Got up, my phone, saved up.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Mature.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. We had a good weekend. And then obviously WrestleMania was last night. What'd you think about that ending, Amy?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I have no idea what happened.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, come on, we know you watched.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I really didn't. Tell me about it.

[Lunchbox]

What happened?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

John Cena is the champion again. He now set the record for the most title.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But, I mean, it's not.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

It's kind of a real. Well, okay. You're like my wife now. I'm watching. She's like, are you watching a play?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah. And I'm like, that's exactly what it is.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I'm like, you have no idea that These guys are £300. Yes, it's theatrics, but it's the most athletic theatrics ever. They're doing backflips off of the £300. They're 220, so no one thinks it's real and it's insulting. Whenever someone goes, don't you know it's fake? Of course, everybody knows. I'm not even gonna say it's fake because they get hurt. They're freaking cut and bloody. But it was awesome. And it's awesome that it's on Peacock because you have to pay for pay per views anymore. But the final match kind of sucked. Cody lost championship Cena, and I like Cena, but it just wasn't a good.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Cody. Who?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Cody Rhodes. American Nightmare. Come on, you know that. You don't know that.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, I don't.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Eddie had a weird Easter question What was it?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Like, do you get your spouse or your significant other a gift? Because I woke up and the Easter bunny came to my house, and I had a gift, and I was the big golden bunny, and I'm like, oh, I didn't get anything.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

What?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You didn't get anything?

[Lunchbox]

It's for my wife. Yeah. My wife got me a golden bunny.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, you got. So you got something.

[Lunchbox]

I got it, but I didn't get her anything. And I'm like, am I an idiot for not getting her something for Easter?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But had she gotten you Easter gifts every other year? You're an idiot if she's gotten you a gift every year of your marriage, and yet you still don't know to get her one back.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Eddie, I've been married a long time.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And I guess, like, if I look back, I guess every Easter, I have something. If it's just, like, a box of candy or like a big egg, I usually have something.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

And this year you finally wonder, like, should I get her something?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Because it was a big, golden bunny. I'm like, that's awesome.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

What's in it? Like, chocolate.

[Lunchbox]

Chocolate.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Okay.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I don't think traditionally Easter is a gift holiday. However, if it is a tradition in your house, then yes. And if she's gotten you a gift every year of your marriage, and y. This is the one year you're like, should I get her something back? That's problem.

[Dan Roth]

I'm being an idiot.

[Lunchbox]

Do you get something?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, because it's not a. That's not a thing with us.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I bet once y'all have kids, you might do the whole. Yeah. With. Cause the Easter bunny will come. And that makes it a whole experience. But I must say, I was watching some stuff on social media with, like, every. All the details of it for some families in the morning, and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. When did Easter turn into, like, a second Christmas?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, it's like prom now, too. With promposals. Like, everything is elevated because of social media. Like, that's why there's an elevation of everything, because they want to show it off.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah. They were doing, like, this is my Easter haul. And I was like, what?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Okay.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

It's all based on social media.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah. Well.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And being able to flex. Look at all this. Like, my nephew got a big. The Easter bunny came to the house, knocked on the door, which I gotta say, knocked is a pretty heavy knock. I was like, easter bunny, you're strong, like, aggressive knock. And then he goes out, and there was a big. There's a basket and some eggs and stuff. And so it was all out there, but it was. It had rained every day we were there, so there was no, like, going to hunt eggs. Easter Bunny was like, I am not getting wet, so left the basket at the front door, but it poured the whole time.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

We had an Easter egg hunt last night, and it was interesting. I'd never experienced anything like this. And I was at my boyfriend's dad's house, and he hides the eggs every year for his grandkids. And there's like, 90 eggs hidden in the yard, but they don't put anything in the eggs just in case they don't get found that way. There's not like. Like, food stuck out there for plastic then. So they're all plastic and they're. There's nothing in it. But as you collect them, then he has a chart when you get inside. And the eggs are currency, and you can buy things with your plastic eggs.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Dave and Busters at Easter.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yes, Smart Dave and Easters. Honestly, it was pretty genius. And I'd never seen anything like it. So I'm sure other people do it and you can look it up, but if you want to do that with your family next year. I was like, oh, this is. And then it has the kids, like, have to, like, make decisions and count and spend it like it's money, so it's cool.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Hopefully. It's not like you have to get 10,000 eggs.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, no, no.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Get one stuffy. That's what happens at Dave and Buster. You're like, man, I got all these tickets, and it's like you get one tiny keychain stuffed.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, but I mean, there's some teenage boys that are grandson. So there was, like, golf balls and, like, other things, and you could spend your eggs on whatever you wanted to get from the grab bag.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You did that here?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, last night.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

A night hunt, was it?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, let's. I guess that hunt was at 4:00pm.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Afternoon hunt night, though. Four PMs.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Oh, was it dinner? Sorry, dinner's at 4:00pm no, sorry. We flew in from Charleston and then went over there, and they were delaying the hunt because we were coming. And then the kids hunted, and then after the hunt, at like, five, we ate dinner.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Got it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That makes all the sense. Yeah. Good. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Amy was driving on the highway and something happened with a motorcycle and it's kind of a mess. She feels one way, but we've had a lot of listeners call in that are motorcycle riders and they've shared some different perspectives, so there's a lot of feelings, thoughts and things happening around this particular story, But I'm allow her to set it up for you, share the whole thing, and then from there, your opinions are your own.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Number four, Amy had something scary happen to her. What I would like to ask the room is don't jump in on making fun of her driving.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Because it's not while she tells the story. I know, but we're gonna let it all the way finish because we have jokes based on.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I'm sure you do.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

The past 15 years. Right.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But I'm gonna tell you what happened was uncalled for.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Okay. Didn't go. Because we're not gonna make a joke. We would just want to hear the story.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Okay. So you know how sometimes people on motorcycles on the highway will ride in between cars? Like in the. Where you're not supposed to. It's illegal. It's dangerous.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I don't know that it's illegal. Some states it's legal. Some states it's not.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, it feels very illegal.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, it does feel reckless.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, Reckless and unnecessary. So I'm merging into traffic. There's lots of traffic on the highway. So at this point, like, when I'm getting to where I'm going, like a merge into the lane, I'm going maybe one mile an hour. About to be zero. Like, I'm going so slow.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You can't really go one mile an hour. But we hear you.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I'm zero.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

It's just hard to do hyperbole. And then that's not. But go ahead.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It's like, okay, I've merged in, so it feels like I'm going nothing. And then I stop. And then all of a sudden, like, side of my car. Boom. I hear that. And then these two guys on a ninja.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So something hits your car?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yes. Like one of those fast ninja motorcycle things.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Are you sure it's a ninja?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I don't know the brand, but it's not a Harley. It's not like, you know, two guys chilling on their Harley. These are guys that have a need for speed, and they are dangerous and irresponsible because they came and purposefully slammed my side mirror on the passenger side. I guess they felt like maybe because they were riding that middle lane, and when I merged, I guess, did I cut them off? I don't know, because they're not supposed to be doing what they were doing, But I guess they were mad at me. So to retaliate, they slammed my passenger side mirror, bent it all the way back. But the slam was so loud, I thought they hit my car. So I guess There are two guys riding on the same bike together.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

The first guy riding the same back. Like. Like dumb and dumber arm. Yes, they really were helmets on, arms wrapped around. The other is two dudes.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yes, two dudes.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Hilarious.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I mean, I'm assuming guys, like, they had helmets on, but. And only men would behave this way. Completely ridiculous.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, a man could be up front, woman could be in the back.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, then the woman flipped me off because the man up front slammed the mirror and bent it back, like, until I pulled over and got where I was going. And I was nervous to pull my mirror back, thinking it was going to snap off or something. Luckily, it wasn't broken, but bent it all the way back. So. Boom. I hear that and I'm thinking, oh, my gosh, they just hit my car. And then I. They. She turns back or he turns back. Now you have convinced that maybe it was a girl and flips me off. I mean, it was the most aggressive response to. They were the ones doing something wrong. All I was doing is merging into Elaine, and my. My nervous system took probably about 30 minutes to recover because I thought I had been hit. And then I was aggressively assaulted with a finger, a middle finger, a couple things. It just felt like a lot.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

They must have done that before to know you can hit a rear view like that, pop it back, and then it not actually break off.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I mean, there's no way they could guarantee that that wasn't going to break.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I don't think, honestly. But it must be a move they do to know that it's actually not going to break it off.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Okay.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, especially if they did it so efficiently. Like, if it just took one pop and all of a sudden it's popped back. Like, they. They must do that a bit. Well, two.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Scary.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. That sucks. Absolutely sucks. I'd have been scared, too. I'd have thought they hit my car.

[Dan Roth]

Yeah.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

3. Did you chase after them at all or anything? No. Okay.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I was in traffic.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

4. What are the odds? You really cut them off. Now I'm going to go back to.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, if you're riding that middle lane, I.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But what if they were in the middle?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But they're. If they're. If they're coming up a lane, trying to pass ever. All of us are sitting in traffic like normal people. Like, I just feel like you should have to sit in traffic as well. But they were riding up. So then when I merged over, here's what I'm thinking happened. Like, maybe they're coming up this middle lane and I merge over kind of cut them off a little bit because they're going fast and I'm not. And then they come up along my passenger side and boom, Assault my car.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Lane splitting here is not legal.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Okay, so there you have it. They were breaking the law, and they got mad at me for driving normal.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That sucks. I'm sorry that happened to you. You did not deserve that. I can't find any reason that that's even funny, because lane splitting is not legal here. There are states like California where it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Is legal, but I just felt like, what is. Like, why would you do that to somebody? Like, they were so angry at me, and I. Even if. Even if I had done something wrong, it was an accident. And the way they responded was just aggressive.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

If you had done something wrong and it was legal, I could understand them going, you're not watching out for bikers.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Pay attention, you idiot. Like, maybe they could say that to me, but they don't have to bang my mirror and flip me off. They could turn and say, pay attention, you idiot. That would be better for my nervous system.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Preferred that more than the finger, though. Let's say they slapped that. Still. They slapped your side view. Would you have preferred they go, hey, idiot, don't do that, or flipped you off.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Hey, idiot, don't do that.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Got it. How many times have you been flipped off in the past five years by other cars? Just.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I mean, just a couple times.

[Lunchbox]

Best five years that she's noticed.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, but I mean, my entire driving career, a lot.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

The good news is your car is not broken. That sucks that they do that. They shouldn't do that.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

They shouldn't.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And I'm sure most of their anger and frustration is built on cars not paying attention when they're driving. And motorcyclists are. Are at far more danger of being hurt badly. Because if two cars hit going 20, okay, you go to insurance, you get your car fixed. If you had a motorcycle, they could die.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Right.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But it seems like you didn't do.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

That's why I think the root of it, like, originally I went, they must be angry humans. But if I really think about it, they were coming from a place of fear. So they were scared now. They were doing something they shouldn't have done. I scooted on over, they got scared, and then they reacted out of fear, which presented as anger.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

What did you learn from this? Everything's a learning situation.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I didn't do anything wrong. So I don't. I learned that your mirror can bend like that.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And that's. If you learned that that's good enough.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Like, that was. That was interesting to me. I learned that some people don't have healthy responses to scary events. I don't know what I learned. I guess now I learned in this moment that in our state, it's illegal so you can actually straddle the lines on a motorcycle.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, I thought you mean you were going to straddle the line to keep them from going across.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, no. But it just was a lot, so that's a lot. You gotta be careful out there.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. I'm sorry that happened to you. You didn't deserve that.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Thanks.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Couldn't have been two dudes, right? No way. There's no. I'm thinking. I'm thinking there's no chance I'm holding on to Scuba Steve. And we're driving through knocking one.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It was definitely. I. Y'all had me convinced for a second maybe it was a girl. But no, it was definitely two guys.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You think it was two guys? It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Lunchbox served his punishment all week. Now, he did play a game to get this punishment. And let me remind everybody, he wasn't required to play this game. He played this game because he wanted to win some of Bobby's cash. But the price of that was a punishment if he lost, and he lost. So he served his punishment all week. And he was wearing some very particular items, not just in studio but out in the wild. So you might get a good laugh out of this. And if you haven't seen him in his get up this week, then go check out our Instagram @bobbyboneshow.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Number three. Quick recap. Lunchbox just kept losing games. He said, hey, I want to play this game and if I lose, I'll do the punishment. We spin the wheel it lands on. And I'll say it once and one time only. The truck nuts that truckers or trucks hang from the back, they're gross, but it's testicles, you know? And so he has to wear them for a week as his punishment. But he's like, okay, double or nothing if I win, I don't want to wear those. But if I lose, we have a hat that says, ask me about syphilis. He took a syphilis test. The company that we use their test sent us all the free stuff. So he has to wear a hat. Says, ask me about syphilis. He lost. He lost again. There's a T shirt says, ask me about syphilis. So we're going to do that crowning of the jewels? Yeah, the crowning of the jewels first. And so, Mike, would you mind bringing them over to me? Everybody close their eyes for a second. I want you to see them as I hold them up.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Everybody close their eyes. So Lunchbox is gonna put these around his head and he's gonna wear them. So everybody raise up. So we have two colors here. First of all, we have the flesh toned. Amy, you can open your eyes.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. That is not what I was expecting.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

It'll be a rough, disgusting, and it'll hang like a necklace.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Those are huge.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they're big.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Or we have blue.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's funny.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Now blue though you may not know what it is. Blue just looks like I can. It's gotta be. We're vote. It's gotta be flesh, right?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, but turn it around. Turn the flesh around. You had it the other. There you go. There you go.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my. Those are disgusting.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So, Mike, if you want to put these on the chain.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it's like a choker chain. So those are going to be right up on his neck.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we will. And you'll be able to see this on social media all week long. Mike's have to put it on you.

[Lunchbox]

Because I'm wearing proud, dude.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

What are you doing?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Just let Mike do it. Just let Mike.

[Morgan]

It feels weird having Mike.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I know.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like I'd rather have Amy or Morgan do it. You know what I mean?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Like, make sure that the.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

There we go. Now they're going around his neck. Yep.

[Morgan]

I mean, maybe. Oh, man, that's. They're very good chain, dude.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's like, you know, it's not super choky. I thought it'd be a little more chokey.

[Morgan]

Oh, no, it's joking.

[Lunchbox]

No, it's good.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It's up there.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, but I'm looking at it. That's not. That's not perfect. Anyway. That's a. That's straight.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, but it's definitely higher up than I thought.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

It can't be too low. You won't see it because the table. Good point.

[Lunchbox]

So he has to wear those and the. Ask me about syphilis.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. So now we will do the crowning of the hat. This is a purple hat. LSU colors. Purple, gold. And it says, ask me about syphilis. And this hat stays on all week, all the time, everywhere he goes. Yeah. Headphones off, lunchbox.

[Morgan]

I'm not gonna be able to wear it while I work, man.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, you can.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, you have to. Why can't headphones go over a hat? I wear hats every day. Eddie has one on right now.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Morgan]

I'm not bald.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, you can't put the headphones over that. Ask me about size.

[Morgan]

I really didn't. I just put my head.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You did.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, but you tilted the hat up.

[Morgan]

I literally can't see it, guys. I have no idea. Yeah, you've never.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Have you ever worn a hat in your life?

[Morgan]

Yeah, Mike put it on. It was too tight. It wouldn't fit on my head.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

You don't want it to fall off.

[Morgan]

Relax.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Geez.

[Morgan]

I just put my headphones on like a.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No, you tried with the chain as well. He's got on his chest and on his head. Dang, you look good.

[Lunchbox]

That does look good, dude.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You do look good.

[Lunchbox]

Official.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

We should have him stand on stage, do, like, a little modeling shoe. I've never seen you look more you.

[Lunchbox]

There he is.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Morgan's got the camera out, taking pictures. All right, so we get that if you want. Did he lose the shirt? Does he have to wear the shirt?

[Lunchbox]

I think he has to wear the shirt, too.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

We can put the shirt on him later.

[Lunchbox]

And the shirt is everywhere he goes as well.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, that was every. That was everywhere.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

The shirt is asking about syphilis as well.

[Lunchbox]

So, like, if he takes his kids to, like, baseball games, he's in a.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Syphilis shirt and hat, but not the. Not the. So that's. I mean, mean, do you have kids stuff? This, Amy, coming up.

[Morgan]

Do you have kids?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I do, yeah.

[Morgan]

You have kids stuff all the time.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, I mean. But all the time reading the class this week.

[Lunchbox]

Were you reading to the class?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But also, you're the one that chose this.

[Morgan]

I didn't choose it. You guys did.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

We pr. Every time we said, you have a chance if you want, you're like, I want to keep going. I want.

[Morgan]

But I didn't choose to wear this hat.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You presented me chose to be punished. And we put all the things on the wheel.

[Morgan]

No, no, I didn't choose.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I haven't put free spots on there for you. I tried to get you out of it. I'm your ally, and you're taking it out on me.

[Morgan]

I'm not taking that on you. I just say I didn't. You're saying I chose this. No, I didn't.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But you chose to play a game with. If you were to lose, there was going to be a punishment. You knew that.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but I didn't know it was going to be hanging bangies. Around my neck.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's not a hangy bangy.

[Lunchbox]

It's not a hangy bangy. It's weird. I feel like I need to ask him about syphilis.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

What would you like to ask him? Why would you think that?

[Lunchbox]

Just maybe the hat.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, yeah, good point. So there it is. We'll put the pictures up. You guys can see them over on our socials.

[Lunchbox]

He looks great.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You look good, dude. You look like a rapper.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Does he have answers in case someone asks him about syphilis?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Hey, man, what's up with syphilis?

[Morgan]

I go to syphilis.com, man. Don't really know.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I don't know. I'd go there.

[Lunchbox]

What would be his rapper name?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Ball?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, MC Wells.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, I mean, you know, if you're doing old school, like. Yeah. MC Syphilis Sack.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, he does look like a rapper. Except his drip is.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, yeah. His hang. We'll call it his hang. Today's the last day. Lunchbox has to wear his Ask Me about Syphilis hat and ask me about Syphilis hoodie because he lost a bet. So I don't know. How's the week been? You've had to wear it outside of the show.

[Morgan]

Oh, man, it's been a lot of looks, a lot of. I mean, I'm famous, so people look at me anyway. But this has been, like, everywhere I go. Everyone is looking and.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Does anybody ask, though?

[Morgan]

Some people ask, some people snicker and you can see them, like, and just they're talking about it, but they don't ask, but, you know, they're interested and. But, you know, like, some people do ask.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So Lunchbox will record when someone comes up to him to ask him. So he has managed to time out three people asking him. Here's number one. Here's a guy asking him.

[Morgan]

I don't have it, but I'm just wearing it. Support my buddy Eddie. He got it. So, I mean, I'm just showing him. Hey, man, it's okay. Yeah, so, you know what I mean? Like, normal people get it, so be careful. You know what I mean? Yeah, but that's his picture and he looks happy. But it's lucky we're in the modern.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Time where it's very careful.

[Morgan]

Yes, exactly. Antibiotics, you know, take care of it. Exactly. And so hopefully. Yeah, I just wanted him to know that he's not alone. So. Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

What is.

[Lunchbox]

He's carrying around a picture.

[Dutch Vet]

1.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's weird. He's got a picture of you. That's Funny. It's weird. Where are you? What's that noise?

[Morgan]

I was carrying a grocery bag.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Got it on the bus.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Where was the picture of Eddie?

[Morgan]

Oh, my phone.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Got it.

[Morgan]

I had taken a picture from his Instagram.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

It's his lock screen. Anyway, always.

[Lunchbox]

He always has me up there.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Are all three of these. You doing the Eddie bit?

[Dutch Vet]

No.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Okay, good.

[Lunchbox]

That's stupid.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, no, it's funny, but all three in a row wouldn't be. Okay, here's number two.

[Morgan]

Awesome. Thank you. You didn't want to ask me about syphilis? No, I mean, I saw it.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I was like, oh, that's an interesting.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's just. It's a sexually transmitted disease. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I just want to let you know, just be careful out there. It's that, you know, I'm just out there supporting the people with it, and so, you know. Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

All right.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I won't show you any Google Images or anything.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You did kind of ask her to ask.

[Morgan]

No, no, no, no, no. She was commenting on it to someone else.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh. So you're like, if you don't want.

[Morgan]

To talk, do you want to talk to me about it? And she didn't really.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, she didn't really. You're right.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

One more.

[Morgan]

And these next ones, they're working behind the counter when I'm getting lunch, and as I'm in line, I see them all snickering and pointing. And so when I got up there, I was like, oh, they obviously are interested. Let's get to the bottom of this.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Go ahead.

[Morgan]

Did you have any questions or anything? You sure?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yep.

[Morgan]

I don't mind talking about it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

No, you're good.

[Morgan]

Yeah. How are you? Did you have any questions? No. Are you sure? I mean, read the hat. I'm good.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So you just call them out for snickers?

[Morgan]

Just calling them out. Because, I mean, they're obviously snickering because, I mean, I saw the lady walk over and, like. And she looks up and they kind of giggle, and I'm like, so obviously they saw it. They were talking about it. I was in line long enough where they had questions, but I think they were just a little. Some people are uncomfortable to talk about it, and I just wanted to let them know that there's nothing to be uncomfortable about. We can talk about it.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You're the voice of it.

[Morgan]

No, I just.

[Lunchbox]

And the face.

[Morgan]

No, you. I definitely showed your picture.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Privates.

[Morgan]

Nope. Nope. But, yes, it was a. It was a weird week, man.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, I think now we should ceremonial.

[Morgan]

Oh, thank you.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Let him lose the hat. Let him lose the hoodie. He did live up and do his bet. So as much as he likes to complain, he did every day wear his truck and then wear a shirt and his hat out. So he did.

[Lunchbox]

Good job, man.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

If you'll please remove the syphilis hat.

[Morgan]

Oh, thank you. Take it off.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

What? That sounded weird.

[Morgan]

Grab those.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, it's a chain. She's under the chain.

[Lunchbox]

She's taking off.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Those are so gross.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, we'll get rid of those.

[Morgan]

There you go.

[Lunchbox]

And then Lunchbox did say he wanted to keep those for his car.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, hang on. From his rear view instead of like the back.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

What about put him on the bike? Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, yuck. And then the hoodie. There he is. Lunchbox, everybody. Great job.

[Lunchbox]

Good job, man.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Mr. Syphilis, 2025. Mr. Syphilis. Okay, so that bit's over, but nice job. That's it. I don't have to look at that anymore because I didn't like much looking at it, to be honest with you. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

Amy snapped on somebody recently and she shared why it happened, the events that led to this moment and, and how she's feeling right now and why that matters with how she snapped on somebody. There's just a lot happening and I feel for Amy right now.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Number two, I'm go talk to Amy for a second. You okay over there?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah. Why?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, a couple reasons. One, I think on the air a couple days ago, I was like, you all right? And you were like, yeah, why? But then I know maybe you haven't been proud of your actions around here.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, well, I just know if there's.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Anything you wanted to say. Do you guys know about it?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Morgan]

Oh, I'm interested.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Are you referring to the work call?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well, I'm just not. I'm not referring to anything. I'm just asking. Are you okay?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I don't know.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Okay. Okay. Okay. This is love, by the way. This is love. Are you, Are you okay?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, I know that with where I am in my life, physically or mentally.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Got it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

All of the above. Mentally, I feel like I'm doing well. I got to take care of myself. But then hormone wise, I can't control that. Like, I can't control perimenopause and where I am in this stage of my life. Like, I do all the work to like be grounded and feel really good and then out of nowhere, I'm just a little psychotic.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Is there anything you'd like to share specifically with the room?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Well, I've, I've, I've. I've Apologized to this person. I will be. I'll say that out of the gate. I haven't heard back from them. Oh, but maybe I'll call later.

[Lunchbox]

What did you do?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So follow up on the apology. That's always a tough call, so I apologize. Did you get it?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah. So there's just been an ongoing work issue for probably about two months. Do you remember when I had to call you, like, a month ago, and we talked through some stuff, and I thought we had a plan, and it was good, and it just. It's continuing, like, it gets worse and worse in my mind. And there was something that happened yesterday that I just felt like. Oh, it just was another, like, punch in the gut of it. Not even out of concern for me. It's disrespectful. Disrespectful towards somebody else. And so then I got really emotional on the phone, which is very unprofessional, and I shouldn't do that. But I was talking to someone that I have a comfortable relationship with, and so I let it out. And I wasn't really yelling at her, but I didn't even make sense when I said it, which shows that emotions are in the driver's seat, because when your emotions are driving, you're not rational. And I said, you say that you snapped. I snapped. Okay, I snapped. And. And. And right after I did it, I started. I started crying.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Because I knew. But I don't think she knew I was crying. There was just silence. And I'm typing, and I think she's typing, and it's silent. And then I'm like, you know, like, I'm crying. And then she's like, okay, well, I have a meeting. I have to go. And I was like, okay, what'd you yell? Well, I just was saying I needed to know, like, who said, guys, wait.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Till Amy told you what she said.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It doesn't even make sense.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But don't even worry about that yet. Just tell. Go ahead.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But later, my boyfriend helped me with what I was probably trying to say.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

But say. And. Because she said it aggressively. But say what you said.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Who's. Whose head do we need to have? Let me just get back into my mode of how I was, because I definitely wasn't giggling.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, no, no, you're angry.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I was annoyed. Yeah, that's the. The feeling was frustrated annoyed. Which at the end of the day is angry. Okay, whose head do we need to have on a swivel for this?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Whoa.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But. But tell me. No, I think it was more like, but tell Me, like, whose head do we need to have on a swivel for this?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So you were mad, you were emotional, but you didn't realize head on a swivel doesn't make sense. It's not a saying.

[Liz Ortiz]

It doesn't.

[Lunchbox]

Does she mean like a head on a stick or something?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Like. And well, when I was saying it and I didn't realize at the time it didn't make sense because again, I'm not in my rational brain. And then all of a sudden the tears come and then I hang up and I'm instantly remorseful and like that was completely unprofessional. But I think she understands why I'm worked up and why this is just all around been a horrible experience. And I was feeling really, really bad for somebody else who's going to feel very disrespected. And so I, I'm like, ugh, like, who greenlit this from the beginning? That's whose head maybe needs to roll.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Right. So head roll. Head on a stick. So a head on a swivel would be like. My comparison is if you're playing cornerback.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Your head's on a swivel. Looking both ways to make sure that a wide receiver's not running by you. Your head's on a swivel watching everything around you. You don't really put someone's head on a swivel in punishment if they're in trouble. Put your own head on a swivel to make sure that nothing's getting by you.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Right.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

So I just. And, but, but I know like stuff that's been happening with my body the last few days has been very even concerning to me. But then I google it and it's like, yeah, yep, pretty normal for a 44 year old woman. Perimenopausal sounds about right. So I thought about calling my doctor, but then when the Internet said this is normal, I don't want to like waste her time, but I have like fear inside of me because things are happening with my body that have never happened before and I am in pain and I just like, it's a lot that I think I have to hold it together. Like I held it like I was in pain at work yesterday and I held it together like the whole time. So I know I'm capable of doing that. I can keep my composure, I can behave. Right. And then I just snapped in this moment. And again I think because I'm comfortable with her, but it's still a professional thing and I shouldn't have done it. So I immediately sent a note apologizing and saying that was unprofessional, and I shouldn't have acted that way on the call. And. But it's like, golly, I just want to send, like, a big hug to any women out there, whether you're just. It's your PMS time or your. You're perimenopausal, because it's confusing out here. And basically, you're perimenopausal for, like, a decade.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, that's a tough one.

[Lunchbox]

A whole 10 years.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

That's a heck of a period.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But it. But it. The things fluctuate. New symptoms come and go. You're just. I'm just as surprised as y'all are.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

There have been times where I think you've been annoyed at me because I've been like, are you okay? And you're like, yeah. Why?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah. I mean, maybe I don't know that I'm acting that way, and I can. Now that I'm giving you permission to say, like, hey, let's just go. Like, hey, I think you might be having one of your little.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I will never say that. No. Oh, trap, man. There has never been a bigger bear trap put on the ground than that one right there.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

But I'm giving you permission. Like, I. We're close enough here to where. And again, I think I do a good job of holding it together, but I think I. I had some stuff this week that was pretty scary for my body, where I was like, what in the world is going on? Like, am I dying? But I'm not. It's just part of aging, not dying.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

What if instead of me saying something, which I don't, depending on the situation, maybe isn't the best time to just say something. What if I just have somebody dump a bucket of ice on you or something?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

It's not gonna help me in this moment. No. I do get the whole reset. Like, shopping, shocking my. This is, like, more. There's more happening than just maybe being overwhelmed emotionally or something like that sort of stuff. Again, I think I have under control. It's this hormone thing.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And here she goes again, guys. Her eyes are turning green.

[Lunchbox]

She's losing it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

She's the hole I can't quite figure out, you know, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone. Like, all of my stuff is just. It's all whacked out.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Well.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

And I'm trying to get it under control, you know?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Thank you for sharing that with us.

[Lunchbox]

Good luck.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And sorry that that happened at work. I didn't hear you Snapped on somebody.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Oh, did you hear from somebody else?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You know, it doesn't matter where I hear things. The ear is always on the ground. I try to ignore it.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I did pass our boss Julie this morning on my way in, and she had you hit her? Like, no, she was on a. It looked like she was on a call. And I walk by and she's like, ah, just talking about you.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Oh, no.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

And I was like. I just knew. I was like, oh, my God, they're having a debrief about my psychotic break on the phone call.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And like, I think you're okay. Take a breath. Just take a breath.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Okay. I know I'm not the only professional woman out there that's also having to hold it together and mom. And trying to keep it all right. When your body. Body's falling apart and your hormones are.

[Lunchbox]

I'll say a prayer.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Me too. I need to pray for me.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Like, it's just crazy, y'all. You're telling me that your wives are just normal?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I don't think there is a normal.

[Lunchbox]

Say yes, dude. Just say yes.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

No. Yes. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Just wait then.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Thank you for sharing that with us.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Wait till they turn 35.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You're fine. You're fine. Work wise.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah, but I'm giving you permission to tell me.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Okay, I will not, but thank you for allowing me to.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Okay, goodbye.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

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

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Number two, I shared some fun personal news this week. And, you know, you may not care and that's cool too, but there is a soft launch situation happening. I share the details with the show of how, why, who, what, when, where, you know, all that good stuff.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Number one, want to go over to Morgan, who does our website and all of our social media. Did I see a dude's hand at one of your pictures? Do you do what you soft launch something?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I don't know if it's soft launching, but yes, I did meet somebody.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

So is that soft or hard?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

No, it's not hard.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Launches like face and name.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Okay.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Social Security number, bank account info, routing information. That's hard.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

So soft soft. Maybe because it hasn't been in the feed yet or anything. It's just on my stories.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, what's the deal?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I met him. And actually in real life, it wasn't on the dating apps.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Where did you meet him?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

So I was out with some girlfriends and I was really focused on having a girls weekend, but apparently my girlfriends were determined to help me meet Somebody and they saw somebody at the bar. He had a shirt on that said drink.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Ask me about syphilis. Because that would have been perfect.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

That would have been. But that would have also been awkward. But, no, he had a shirt on that said drink beer and pet dogs. And they're like, more. And he's so cute. He obviously also loves dogs. Like, we need to make this happen.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Was he. Did you think he was cute, though?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I wasn't even looking. Like, I was. So I had just honestly went on some, like, bad dates on Hinge and I was like, I'm just kind of overdating. I want to have a fun girls weekend. I was really not in the mindset to be talking to somebody, so I didn't even look when they were trying to, like, point him out. I was like, no, I'm focused on this weekend. And they just, against all of my better judgment, were like, no, we think you need to meet him. And, like, went and tapped on his shoulder and introduced us. I turned around and I was like, oh, crap, he's cute. And we've been hanging out ever since.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

How long ago was that?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

This week will be a month.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Good for you for keeping it quiet.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I got really excited, though, because it's been going really well. So that's why you see the random hands in my posts.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

So how tall is he?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Oh, man.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Because you're gonna need a really tall guy to counter your. You're four or nine.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I'm five foot and three fourths of an inch.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Okay. You know, whomever it is that you end up having a kid with, you know, you kind of got to counter that. How tall is he?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

That's true.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I've also. I've dated a lot of short guys. I believe he's 61 or 6 2.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Okay, good.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Oh, wow.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Good, good, good. And then what can you tell us about him? But don't say too much. Give us just a couple nuggets.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

He also loves to rescue dogs. We are both, like, when I say we are two sides of the same coin. We have so much in common. We're both nerds. We both geek out over Marvel and Star wars stuff. We love being active. Health is very important to us. We've also had some both hard things happen to us, so there's a lot of similarities. We have a lot in common and enjoy a lot of the same things.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Your last relationship, it went well, but the ending was not. Obviously it didn't work out, but does that keep you from jumping into this one?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Oh, yeah. My. I have Like a brick wall up. And he's just, like, patient, and he's like, whenever you're ready to start to let walls down, I'm here. However I can help make that happen, I'm here.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Older or younger?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

He's older than me. He's 34. Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

How old are you?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I'm 31.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And does he have a job? Don't say. What changes? Does he work?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Yes, he does work. He has a job.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

I don't feel like we deserve to know anything else right now because, you know every time it doesn't work out till the one time it does. Right. So odds are any relationship you're in until you find the one that's not the one, until it is the one. So right now we don't deserve to hear anymore because we'll just give it some time, let it grow organically.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I know, but there's also this part of me because you guys are my friends, that I'm really excited about them and I want to share them with you guys.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Is he off the app?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Oh, yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Are you guys. Have you had the dtr?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Yeah, we're not. We aren't Boyfriend, girlfriend, but yes, like, exclusively dating each other.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

He. He isn't that. Boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever that means. Like, if you're exclusive, isn't that it?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

It is, yes, in a way. But, like, if you want to, like a definitive we haven't had that, like, oh, my gosh, you're my boyfriend, I'm your girlfriend conversation. But yeah, he told me he deleted the app the day after meeting me.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Oh, wow.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

And he did.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. I probably said that sometimes, too, you know, way later. I mean, after the app was deleted. But I probably said that sometimes, too. Like the. The moment our eyes locked, the first thing I did was look at my phone and delete that app. Good. Well, right now, we deserve nothing more. And we're rooting for you.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Thank you. I'm rooting for me. This one feels good.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Was it a normal bar you go to?

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

No, it was a brand new bar. And there were so many reasons I wasn't going to be in that room that night. So it's kind of weird.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

And his shirt said, drink beer, pet dogs. Yeah, speaking of shirts, we do need to put Lunchbox in his shirt.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Second part of his bet.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Ask me about.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Mike. Can you take this over to Lunchbox and you can put it on? We don't have to do it all in the air right now. But Lunchbox has the syphilis hat, the truck on his neck. And the syphilis shirt going on, which. Oh, how did.

[Morgan]

What?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You have to wear the hat all the time.

[Morgan]

I understand.

[Lunchbox]

And the shirt. Right?

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah. You're putting the shirt on over the hoodie.

[Morgan]

Dude, it's so cold in here. I can't not wear the hoodie. That's the problem is you keep it freezing cold. So it's got to go over the hoodie while I'm at work.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Just a little attack at you there.

[Morgan]

Yeah, no, it wasn't an attack. It's the truth. You do it all the time.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

I. I'm just.

[Lunchbox]

But don't cover the. Those need to go out.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, those need to go out. It looks like a tie.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

Look kind of like a hunchback right.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Now because they're under a shirt. It looks like big breasts.

[Lunchbox]

Does. There they go.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Go to our Instagram or Facebook and you can see Lunchbox wearing all this stuff.

[Morgan]

There we go.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Morgan, if you'd have seen the same guy wearing that shirt, just ask me about syphilis.

[Girlfriends Podcast Host]

I don't think that I would have talked to him.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You don't think so?

[Liz Ortiz]

No.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You think your girls would have been like, well, you gotta go talk to the syphilis guy.

[Morgan]

No, I don't think.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

All right, Lunchbox, you look good.

[Morgan]

Thanks, man.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

You do look like an LSU fan with.

[Morgan]

Until you read it.

[Lorraine Tuhill]

Yeah, but it's like purple and gold. It's like. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Morgan, good luck. Lunchbox. Haha. Okay. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
