Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Thanksgiving and Holiday Family Time

• Lunchbox’s Thanksgiving in North Carolina:

  • He describes a rare trip to North Carolina to visit his wife’s family, noting the logistical dance of alternating holidays between his family and hers.
  • (03:10) “We went to North Carolina... wife’s aunt lives there, she was a professor at East Carolina University.”
  • Family visits usually alternate: Thanksgiving with one family, Christmas with another.
  • Recounts a hectic first year of marriage attempting to see both families, taking flights and the “Megabus” between Houston and Austin—ultimately too exhausting, so now they don’t try to combine both families in one holiday.

• Morgan’s Family Gathering:

  • Morgan’s house is full, hosting both her and her boyfriend’s families—“big party going on.”
  • Discusses the joy and chaos of having everyone under one roof, managing babies and visiting pets, and the challenge of finding time for everyone.

• On Spending Time with Both Families:

  • Lunchbox admits their families have never shared a big holiday because of personality clashes between the in-laws—his dad is laid-back, his father-in-law is more structured.
  • (06:09) “My dad’s putting kids on the roof hanging Christmas lights... I think it would drive my father-in-law crazy.”
  • They value giving kids traditions but also enjoy hosting at their own home so their kids can wake up there on Christmas morning.

2. Traveling, Traditions, and Megabus Adventures

• The Infamous Megabus Journey:

  • Lunchbox details the “sketchy” but memorable Houston-to-Austin Megabus stories, including being dropped off in alleys and picked up by parents at dawn.
  • (08:47) “$15 a piece... it’s called the Megabus... goes Houston, Austin, Dallas... like a triangle.”
  • Both agree rental cars might have been easier, but Megabus is economical if you can sleep through it.

• Holiday Traditions:

  • Morgan discusses the pull between making “memories at home” versus the excitement of being at grandparents’ for the holidays.
  • Lunchbox notes, “Santa travels—all around the world,” so location can vary.

---

3. Funny Things Kids Say

• Kids’ Brutally Honest & Hilarious Observations:

  • Morgan shares about a journalism class she spoke to, where a high schooler bluntly asked if she was a "fake blonde."
  • Both recall the TV show “Kids Say The Darndest Things” as apt for these stories.

• Lunchbox’s Children:

  • (22:18) “My middle child… we read about an old, rickety bridge. He goes, ‘Dad, you’re like that bridge—you’re old and rickety and about to fall apart.’”
  • (23:12) “The oldest asked, ‘Dad, did you ever see a dinosaur?’”—he reflects on how kids have no filter about age.

• Telephone Game & School Storytelling:

  • The “telephone effect” among children is highlighted through a book fair story:
    • His son came home claiming a classmate had "$1,000" for the book fair, another said "$100”—neither remotely accurate.
  • Scholastic Book Fair memories, with Morgan and Lunchbox debating the “Pizza Hut Book It! Program” (read books, win free pizza).
  • (27:02) On giving his sons $20 for the fair: “He bought a book, came back with $15.42. I said, ‘why didn’t you buy more?’ He goes, ‘you just said buy a book, so I bought one book.’” (His son is a rule-follower).

---

4. Parenting Patience & Old-School Family Activities

• Testing Parental Patience:

  • Book fairs and fishing with kids test adult fortitude and multitasking.
  • (29:33) “If you ever want to learn if someone is going to be patient, take them fishing with kids.”
  • Both hosts praise their own parents’ patience and compare it to their own (lesser) reserves.

• Modern vs. Old-School Parenting:

  • Morgan wonders if constant busyness and screens today make patience harder for her generation.
  • Lunchbox admits his patience “has always been bad”; he struggles when his wife “lollygags” in the morning and prefers getting up and going right away.

---

5. Marriage Dynamics: How Different is Too Different?

• Lunchbox & His Wife: Differences and Similarities

  • Reflects on their many differences: vacation styles, hobbies (sports, movies, walking, relaxing).
    • (38:03) “In what ways are you and your wife similar? ... I have no idea.”
    • They compromise a lot; she likes relaxing on the beach and quiet mornings, he likes to be constantly active.
    • (42:02) Food is their main shared passion—both are now foodies thanks to influence from friends and each other.

• On Growing Together:

  • Realization that as you build a family, life revolves more around kids than old shared hobbies.
  • Favorite date now is usually just dinner—a testament to the demands of parenthood.

• Notable Quotes:

  • (34:19) “I do have to work on patience. I do... it’s so hard.”
  • (44:11) Lunchbox: “I want to dig deeper than that.” Morgan: “Next time you’re on the show, talk to your wife about it—what ARE you guys similar about?”

---

6. Gift Ideas and Real Talk on ‘Guy Gifts’

• Debate: Is a Portable TV a Good Gift for Men Doing Outdoor Projects?
  • Morgan floats the idea (a speaker with a screen for watching sports outside).
  • Lunchbox gives practical advice: most guys just use audio; it’s more about function than flashy new gadgets.
  • (48:19) “If you’re working on something, you can’t really watch the TV... you listen to it.”
  • Ultimately, they agree cool Amazon products aren’t always what guys need.

---

7. Listener Interaction and Shout-outs

• Anniversary Shout-out:
  • Special shout-out to listeners Nicole & Jeremy (“two of a kind”), thanking them for supporting the show and wishing them a happy anniversary.
  • (50:38) “Happy one year anniversary, you guys. Obviously, they’re so cute... Nicole and Jeremy, shout out. Investigative reporting!”
  • A little fun as they fumble through Instagram handles.

---

Memorable Moments & Notable Quotes

• (09:47) Morgan, laughing: “All of that sounds a lot— a bit sketchy.”
• (22:18) Lunchbox: “Dad, you’re like that bridge. You’re old and rickety and about to fall apart.”
• (23:12) Lunchbox: “Dad, did you ever see a dinosaur?”
• (27:18) “He came back with $15.42. I was like, ‘bud, why didn’t you buy more?’—‘You said buy a book, so I bought one book.’”
• (29:33) Lunchbox: “Take someone fishing with kids—you’ll find out if they have patience.”
• (34:19) “I do have to work on patience... I literally had to work on patience because it’s so hard.”
• (38:03) Morgan: “In what ways are you and your wife similar?” Lunchbox: “That’s a great question. I have no idea.”
• (42:39) On discovering new foods: “When I first started dating my wife, I didn’t even know what hummus was… we went to a Greek restaurant in Houston, and I was like, ‘dang, that’s really good.’”
• (50:38) Morgan: “Nicole and Jeremy, shout out, happy one year anniversary—investigative reporting!”

Behind the scenes with a member of the show.

[A]

What's up, everybody? Happy weekend. Lunchbox is joining me for turkey weekend. What's up, lunch?

[B]

Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gob. As you can tell, the turkey in my house lived. I was spared the turkey because I'm a good human, so I just went to the store and bought a turkey.

[A]

I don't think that's how that works.

[B]

No, no. I spared the turkey that was living in my backyard, and then.

[A]

Do you actually have a turkey living in your backyard?

[B]

No.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

But I did in a field. Like, last week, I was driving north of town, and I saw, like, 40 turkeys in a field.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm like, guys, you need. This is the time of year you guys need to be in hiding. Like, you need to be part of witness protection right now instead of out here in an open field. It was a bad look, and I was like, oh, I said a prayer for him.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Did you have good Thanksgiving?

[A]

Yeah. I mean, well, we're still kind of in it, you know, I feel like it always bleeds into the weekend, but.

[B]

I know. But here we are on a Saturday, taking our time off.

[A]

Thank you for taking your time off on holiday weekend.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, you're probably supposed to be hanging out with your family and, like, making memories, and.

[A]

I am. You know, I'm taking my time, too.

[B]

Yeah. Good.

[A]

Yeah. But look at us. Hard workers.

[B]

Hey, pat us on the back. No one's going to listen to this. It's Thanksgiving weekend. No one's going to.

[A]

Yeah, they will. Sometimes they got to get away from their family. You never got to get away from your family for, like, an hour?

[B]

No.

[A]

Ever?

[B]

No. My family's legit.

[A]

I'm the same way. But some people do.

[B]

I mean, like. I mean, the more family time, the better. Especially because they live in different states, so I never see them. So when I'm with them, it's like, oh, do I. Do I want to get away? No. Yeah.

[A]

I'm the same way. Because then when they leave, it's like they're away for four months, and then you see them again.

[B]

Yeah, that's the hard part.

[A]

Yeah. We have. Gosh, my family's in town. All of them. We've got my boyfriend's family all in town. It's a big party going on.

[B]

I don't want. I'm not gonna ask any questions. I'll let You.

[A]

You can ask questions.

[C]

What?

[B]

We'll talk about that later.

[A]

You can ask questions.

[B]

Nah, nah, we'll talk about that later.

[A]

Okay. Well, tell me about your week.

[B]

My week is, man, just rocking and rolling, you know, I mean, we just came back from Thanksgiving. We went to North Carolina. It was great, man.

[A]

Do you guys. Have you guys been doing that lately, like the last few years?

[B]

No, usually we just been staying here. Like we haven't gone anywhere. But my wife's aunt lives in. I think. Yeah, it's North Carolina. Because she was a professor at East Carolina University.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And so we went to North Carolina.

[A]

Is it in the pretty area, the Blue Ridge Mountains?

[B]

Well, where we met was in the mountain was in like right outside of Asheville because we weren't driving all the way to where East Carolina is. Supposedly it's on the other side of North Carolina. That had taken a long, long time.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And I wouldn't have made it back for best bits.

[A]

That's true. You wouldn't have.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But you did come back for this.

[B]

I did.

[A]

So you were in North Carolina and wife's family or.

[B]

Yeah, wife's family. Yep.

[A]

Does your family. Do you ever combine both families?

[B]

Never.

[A]

Never? Why not?

[B]

That'd be weird.

[A]

You think so?

[B]

No, but. Well, here's the deal. I don't know. We never. I never even thought about it, now that you say it. But I don't know if my in laws could handle my parents for that long because my in laws are more like rigid and do this, do that, whereas my parents. My dad's putting kids on the roof, helping, letting them hand Christmas light, you know, like, so I think it would drive my father in law crazy.

[A]

Okay. Which is kind of makes sense because you and your wife are kind of that way.

[B]

Yes. Yes.

[A]

So you guys make it work.

[B]

We make it work. But, you know, I don't know. I mean, we've been together like at dinner.

[A]

Yeah. But never, like, never a holiday.

[B]

I never even thought about that. Like, that's crazy.

[A]

I know a lot of families that do it. But it really depends on if the in laws get along. To your point.

[B]

No, they get along. Don't. I just think that, like my father in law, he used to be a lawyer. Okay. So everything has like, he is very like, well, why is it that way? Why is it that way? Um, do we think we should be doing that? Like, let's look at the. Then he wants to lay out the reasons. Like, he's very thoughtful. Like, and not saying my dad's not thoughtful, but My dad's just like, go do it. Wow. And we'll figure out what happens afterwards, you know? And I think that would be crazy, but that would be a lot of people in one area.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Someone would have to get a hotel.

[A]

I feel like you could find a really cool airbnb that would hold all of you guys.

[B]

Yeah, I didn't think about that because, like, so what we do is we alternate. Like, so this year is Thanksgiving is my wife's family, so Christmas is my family. And next year, Thanksgiving would be my family, and Christmas would be her family.

[A]

Gotcha. Okay.

[B]

Because we tried it. I think it was first year we were married, we did Thanksgiving and we flew to Houston. Were there for a day and a half, took a bus from Houston to Austin. My dad picked us up at the bus stop, and we spent a day and a half in Austin and then flew back. And I was like, never again. It was so exhausting because you. I mean, you got there and it was already over. Like, it wasn't, like, any quality time. It was, like, so quick.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I was like, that was the dumbest thing we've ever done.

[A]

How far is Houston from Austin?

[B]

Like, two and a half hours.

[A]

So why'd you use a bus?

[B]

Just, we didn't have a car.

[A]

Could have rented one.

[B]

I guess that cost money.

[A]

A bus also costs money.

[B]

$15 a piece. Yeah, it's called the Mega Bus. I never heard of it. So it was. I think it does it here from Memphis to Nashville to somewhere. Like, you can take the Mega Bus in Austin. It goes Houston, Austin, Dallas, Houston, Austin. Like, it makes that little triangle.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's like, $10.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, it makes sense. It's cheaper, but I do feel like the rental car would have been a more enjoyable experience, maybe.

[B]

Oh, no. I just got on the Megabus and fell asleep. Because, I mean, we had to be at the parking lot of this gas station where the Megabus picked us up.

[A]

At, like, 6am that's funny.

[B]

It was Black Friday when we got on the Megabus.

[A]

Yeah. I don't know.

[B]

And then they dropped us off in an alley, like, by the University of Texas. And my dad picked us up in the alley, and we got in the car and went to their house.

[A]

All of that sounds a lot a bit sketchy.

[B]

No, it's amazing. Like, college students.

[A]

It's cool that you have that, but, like, it definitely sounds sketchy that you got picked up at a gas station at 6am and dropped off in an alley.

[B]

Yeah. Apparently my wife, when she was in college at the University of Texas, she would go back. She didn't have a car, so she would ride the megabus home to Houston to see her family.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And that's how I'd never heard of the mega bus because I'd never used it. And it was like $15.

[A]

Every time you say megabus, I think you're talking about like a mega church for some reason.

[B]

Well, it felt like. I mean, it was like a double decker almost.

[A]

Those are cool, though. It's a cool way of transportation.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But, yeah, I've heard it's very difficult to split time.

[B]

Oh, yeah. And in the four day weekend or whatever it was to see both families in two different cities, two different flights in a megabus, I mean, was it worth it? No.

[A]

And isn't it hard a little bit to change each year? Like your plans are changing every year.

[B]

Yeah, but like Thanksgiving, we haven't done anything in like two or three years. And Christmas, we've been here for the last two or three Christmases. We haven't gone anywhere. If people want to come, they can come to us.

[A]

And it's like your specific designated family if they would like to come to you for that holiday. Yeah, Got it.

[B]

So, because my wife's like, we need to have memories of the kids waking up in their own house on Christmas. And I get that. I get it. But it's okay. I feel like to have it at Grandma and Grandpa's every once in a while because that's pretty exciting, too.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, Santa travels, so.

[B]

Oh, yeah. He travels all around the world.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

He has these things called reindeer. Rudolph and Donner and Blitzen and Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen and I don't know the rest of them.

[A]

I thought you were about to say vomit because that's the way the rhythm was working there.

[B]

No, I think I named pretty much all of them, but I don't know.

[A]

You know, Dasher and Dancer and Comet and Vixen. Oh, I miss Vixen, Cupid and Prancer and.

[B]

Did you say Prancer?

[A]

No. I don't know. You threw me off my mojo.

[B]

I definitely miss Vixen. I didn't even think about that.

[A]

I was doing this with my boyfriend's niece. She has like a Christmas game and they have. I'll ask you all these different questions, like trivia about Christmas.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I had to sing that song a lot of times. So now I feel like I know the reindeer.

[B]

But then it's hard.

[A]

I have to be in the rhythm.

[B]

To remember it, it's very hard. It's something that as a kid you knew them all. Now I've grown up and I'm like, man, I forget.

[A]

But you know, everybody doesn't forget Rudolph.

[B]

Rudolph the red nose. Reindeer. Reindeer at a very shiny.

[A]

So yes. To your point though, he can travel. So you feel like you can make this forever. I agree, but I get it. I also get the idea of having traditions because Christmas and holiday traditions in general are always really fun when they're like consistent in the same and it's something they can expect and be excited about every year.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I get both.

[B]

Yeah. So I mean that's, that's what. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah. But yeah, the Mega Bus, man. Let me tell you, if you're ever going traveling, look into the Mega Bus. Let them do the driving for cheap.

[A]

All right? I like it. I like this vibe. Well, yeah, no, we. Things have been going really well for us over there. It's just been a lot of family. Like we've.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Taking over the house. Mom and dad. I got my sister and brother in law and they're almost three month old.

[B]

I got a question. Did you babysit the kid by yourself at any time?

[A]

As of this moment, no. Well, that's not true. I took her on a walk. We went by ourselves. That's not for an hour. I'm talking like for like multiple hours. Yeah, no, I mean, you know, like we're all doing stuff together so never really at any point was.

[B]

Have you changed a diaper?

[A]

Not yet. I have changed a diaper before. I haven't changed one of hers yet though.

[B]

Ah, come on.

[A]

I haven't been by myself yet.

[B]

Okay. You know, I'm just saying. Well, I mean, even when your sister's there, you'd be like, hey, you take this one off, I'll get it.

[A]

It's true. But so far mom and dad are pretty hands on, so they like to.

[B]

I. No, no, they. I understand, but hands on is different than man. That's really nice of you. Or you just say, hey, why don't you guys go get a cup of coffee together? Because I bet you they haven't been out by themselves since the baby was born.

[A]

They've done a few. My parents have watched.

[B]

Oh, that's right. They live where your parents are. Never mind. I forgot.

[A]

And where.

[B]

I forgot. I thought they were back in Denver. And they're not.

[A]

No, they're still in Wichita.

[B]

I forgot.

[A]

They have had that. But.

[B]

But they lived in Colorado, right?

[A]

No, Wichita. The whole time. His parents Live in Colorado.

[B]

That's what it. Okay. Sorry. That's. I was gonna go. I was like, wait a minute. I thought they were. Okay. That's it. Nope. Yeah, he was from Colorado. That's it. And I got it backwards. Okay, never mind. Hey, we'll edit that out. Edit that out.

[A]

No, we're gonna leave that in there. It's great. But. Yeah, no, well, when I took them on, when I took her on a walk, they got showers, so that was exciting.

[B]

See, that's cool. That's a big deal. For a new mom to take a shower is pretty crazy.

[A]

Yeah. And she. Listen, we had a cry it out session. I was like, girlfriend, mom's busy right now. I'm gonna need you to cry this out. And we're gonna fall asleep, we're gonna walk. And we figured it out.

[B]

Oh, she. The baby cried. I thought your sister cried.

[A]

No, no, Baby Collins cried.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah. They cry, man. That's what they do. They.

[A]

Yeah, my sister has given them levels. We got like a level one, we got a level two, we got a level three. Level three is like atomic bomb.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

She's going off level one and two, I'm there. But level three, I'm passing back off to mom and dad.

[B]

Got it. Okay.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, okay.

[A]

Yeah, it's been good. And we got lots of animals at the house. My parents brought their three dogs. The one dog that I fostered, that they ended up adopting.

[B]

Oh, Smokey.

[A]

Gremlin.

[B]

Ah, same difference.

[A]

AKA Lola. Now they renamed her. They didn't keep Gremlin.

[B]

They didn't like Gremlin. Oh, goodness.

[A]

She still is a little Gremlin. So. Yeah, it's been good. Lots of family time. I love having everybody in town.

[B]

Yeah, but they all stay at your house.

[A]

Not my family is. His family's kind of. His sister is here and has more rooms.

[B]

Oh, she has a house.

[A]

The sub. Yeah. Like, suburban area. So his family's staying over there. It like, collided that the. Everybody's in town at the same time.

[B]

That's good.

[A]

Planning our original plan.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

No. Yeah. Oh, life just, you know, life happens.

[B]

Life's gonna be that way in that. In that. The song Friends. Life is gonna be that way.

[A]

I don't know. Because every time you sing a song, it really throws off my rhythm.

[B]

No, come on.

[A]

It really does.

[B]

That was right on.

[A]

I told you. Life is gonna be this way. There it is.

[B]

Right? I've heard that before.

[A]

It takes me a minute to get there. Once you start it, though. I'm not Going to lie.

[B]

Thanks.

[A]

It's the same with my dad. My dad's the same way. And every time he'll try and ask me about a song, I'm like, dude, I don't know where you're at, so I'm going to need to just kind of rewind.

[B]

Yeah, that's my. I mean, I don't know why, and I don't know a lot of. I mean, I don't think I know a lot of songs, but when I hear some things, I'm like, oh, I've heard that somewhere. And I'm like, oh, let me. And I try to do it, and it's not.

[A]

Never worked.

[B]

Yeah, never works. That's okay, though.

[A]

Okay, well, I did. I did prank my dad a lot. Like, I mess with you sometimes in the videos I made him do. Did you. Have you seen the trend where they. It's the horsey, and you do, like, a really dramatic horse. You make them copy you. And do you like this crazy giddy up?

[B]

No.

[A]

Okay, well, I made him do. It was really funny.

[B]

Okay, can I tell you one that's stupid?

[A]

Which one?

[B]

And I don't know how I saw, like, why I saw this, but.

[A]

Yeah, you're never right.

[B]

I think I may have just went to post something on Instagram. And now Instagram puts people randomly. Like, instead of it just being me, because I don't follow anybody. They put things up, and the video is like, oh, pretend that you're cheating on your husband. And it's like they have a mannequin in the. They're acting like they're making out in the driveway. And the husband pulls up in the truck and comes running out of the truck and tackles the mannequin. I'm like, that's so fake. Like, it's so stupid.

[A]

I don't think I've seen these ones.

[B]

It was like. It was so, like, absolutely dumb.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, no one comes running out of the truck. Like, that instantly tackles. You know what I mean? Like, it was, like, so stupid.

[A]

I also feel like I would recognize if something was a mannequin or they, like, really real life.

[B]

I mean, they just had, like, a hoodie on, like, something, and it was just sitting.

[A]

I guess, if it's, you know, a little hidden, but.

[B]

Come on.

[A]

But I'm also not gonna show up and tackle. I might, like, walk on. Be like, hello.

[B]

Like, what the heck's going on? But, I mean, without even saying a word. Yeah, they just run and tackle or kick or punt. And it's like, come on. Like, it's so stupid and so fake. And it was like a montage of it. Like, it wasn't even like just one. It was a someone made, I guess, a montage of people doing it. And I'm like, people actually believe this crap?

[A]

Apparently. But dang, we have very different for you pages. I haven't seen this one.

[B]

Maybe it's because I.

[A]

You don't have one. I don't have one.

[B]

They have no idea what I like.

[A]

And I said this man was like cheating and tackling, right?

[B]

And literally I watched it for about 15 seconds. I saw three or four different. And I was like, this is so fake. And I wish. I don't even know how to pull that up. Like, how would I.

[A]

You would have had to have liked it or saved it.

[B]

Oh, really? Is that true? Dang it.

[A]

Okay, we're gonna take a break. We'll be right back.

[A]

I want to know some funny things your kids have said because let me paint this picture for you. I went on a zoom and talked to a high school class in Tampa. It was a journalism class talking about digital media and stuff. And they all, like, asked a lot of cool questions and it was super fun. But one of the students asked me if I was a fake blonde.

[B]

Really?

[A]

And I was just like. The teacher immediately jumped in and be like, I'm so sorry. I'm like, honestly, it's fine. You can ask me that question anytime.

[B]

That's funny.

[A]

But I was laughing because only, like, kids would, you know, go to that frame of reference. Even I say kids, even in high school. Like, I would have had that idea or question.

[B]

They have random thoughts in their head that are just so, like, huh? That's what you got? Like, that's really weird.

[A]

Yeah, I'm curious. Like, I'm not gonna shut down the curiosity. And I also think it's. It's funny to answer all kinds of questions. So it was funny, but it threw me off a little bit. And so I just want to know, like, kids say the craziest things. You know they used to have that show, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Kids say the darnest things.

[B]

Darnest things, yeah.

[A]

What about your kids?

[B]

My middle child, he always says dad because we read it in a book and it was about an old and rickety bridge that was about to fall apart. And he was like, dad, you're like that bridge. He goes, you're old and Ricky and about to fall apart. And I don't know how he was smart enough to take that and be like, wow, that's like my dad. You know what I mean? Because I'm older than him, so he thinks I'm old and rickety and about to fall apart. And he says it all the time now.

[A]

Really?

[B]

All the time.

[A]

Is this the oldest, middle. Oh, wow, okay.

[B]

And he said it, like. And he didn't say it in that moment, like, he read it. We read it. And the next day he goes, dad, you're like that bridge. You're old and Ricky about to fall apart. And I was just like, wow.

[A]

Nothing like coming out of nowhere at you, too. Yeah, you weren't even expecting that.

[B]

It was hilarious. And. And then the other one was my oldest, asked me, dad, did you ever see a dinosaur? Like, he wants to know, dad, like, did you see dinosaurs when you were a kid?

[A]

Did you respond and say, yeah, you know. You know, son, I saw T. Rex one day.

[B]

No, I just like, I'm not that old. I'm not that old.

[A]

I wonder what your response was like. Do you immediately try and say, hey, let me paint a better picture of this?

[B]

I laughed and I'm like, what, you think I'm that old? And he goes, I don't know. I mean. And I should have gone with it. It had been really funny. But I was laughing so hard, I was like, no, do you know how old dinosaurs are? Just thinking in my head, like, that's the craziest statement. But I should have probably said, yeah, I used to have one as a pet.

[A]

Yeah, but, you know, then he would have gone back to school.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

And told all his friends. And his friends would be like, you're so dumb.

[B]

Like, that's another problem is you tell him. Then he goes and tells his friends, and it's like. It's crazy.

[A]

Is the telephone thing very real with kids?

[B]

It's so real because the other day they had the book fair, Right.

[A]

The Scholastic Book Fair.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Where you get free pizza. Do they still do that?

[B]

I don't know anything about free pizza or free bookmarks. You may get free bookmarks, but you go to the book fair and you buy books and stuff.

[A]

Yeah, but remember, if you, like, read a bunch of. I don't know. I can't remember exactly what it was, but if you read a bunch of things, then you get a free pizza.

[B]

No, I wasn't a nerd Pizza Hut. I didn't. I wasn't a nerd.

[A]

I didn't get that it was free pizza.

[B]

I didn't get that. I'm just telling you, I don't think we have that at our school. I just honestly do not remember them offering us free pizza. I remember you could spend your money and buy some books. Yeah, but I don't remember anything about free pizza.

[A]

Yeah, you got free pizza if you read. And I think it always fell around the same time as a scholastic book fair. I mean, shocked you didn't like try your way through it and get free pizza?

[B]

Well, if they would offered free pizza, maybe I'd have read. I don't think they did down in Austin, Texas. If I'm wrong, hit me up. I would like to know. But anyway, what was I saying?

[A]

You're talking about the kids.

[B]

Oh, oh, the things they say. Oh, telephone. Yeah. So the book fair.

[A]

See, this is Pizza Hut book it program. Book it is.

[B]

Is it in Austin?

[A]

It was everywhere. It was a national campaign. It was book. It is a free reading program for Pre K to 6th grade homeschool teachers can also track up to five readers. And one pizza certificate per child per month is earned.

[B]

Yeah, that may have been passing. When did it start?

[A]

Oh, it was when.

[B]

I mean, but yeah, you were in the 2000s. Okay, that's a lot.

[A]

Let's see.

[B]

I was in the 80s.

[A]

When did it start? I don't know. Oh, 40 years ago today. Oh, it started in 1984.

[B]

Wow. So it was around when I. But I mean, I guess I never did it. I don't know.

[A]

That's lame. Sorry.

[B]

No, I wasn't a nerd. So my son comes home, goes, dad, dad, you'll never believe what happened. I'm like, what? He goes, mike had a thousand dollars for the book fair.

[A]

I'm assuming Mike is another kid.

[B]

Yeah. And I'm like, he didn't have a thousand. He goes, no, he told me that he had $1,000. And then my oldest chime was in. He goes, well, I heard Mike had $100 for the book fair. I said, none of that happened. Neither one of a. He didn't have a thousand and he didn't have 100. I'm pretty sure he did. I mean, one kid was sold 1000, one kid sold 100. So they heard two different totals. So there's telephone right there for the same kid.

[A]

Did you ever find out what Mike had?

[B]

No.

[A]

I mean, how much money do you send them with for classic refer.

[B]

Here's the deal.

[A]

This is how we find out what happens in Lunchbox dad world.

[B]

I send $20 for both? No, for each.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Because I. Last year, I sent $20 of Baby Box 1 because he was in kindergarten. And he came back, he bought a book, and he came back with $15.42.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And I was like, bud, why didn't you buy more? He goes, well, I didn't know I could. You just said, buy a book. So I bought one book.

[A]

He's really good at going buy the book.

[B]

He is. To a t rule follower, everything is very literal.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I was like, you can spend it all.

[A]

That's your wife.

[B]

Yeah. And so he's like, okay. And he came back and he bought another book. He goes, dad, they gave me more change. I was like, yeah, you can spend it. So then he went every single day to the book fair and bought something every day. And then he came home on the last day with $3 and something. I was like. He was like, can I keep this, Dad? I said, yeah, you can keep it. He goes, good, because I kept. I saved $3 so I could give one for me and one to each of my brothers.

[A]

That's so sweet.

[B]

And I'm like, oh, my gosh, you're so cool. You're so smart. Then this year, he spent the $20. He wanted more money.

[A]

He figured it out last year.

[B]

Yeah, Exactly. He spent $20 on the first day and was like, dad, I need more money. I'm like, but, dad, there's so much more I want. And I'm like, I'm sorry. This is where you learn that you have a total amount of money, and you get to spend that amount of money. You want something else than that. You got to decide which is more important, this book or this book. Sorry.

[A]

How did he take that?

[B]

Oh, he threw a fit. Yeah. Threw a fit.

[A]

What about baby? I'm assuming baby box two also?

[B]

Yeah. He went this year, and he bought one book. And he's like, dad, I didn't know how to do it. I got. It was kind of crazy. It was gonna take me too much time to spend all this money. I had to get back to class.

[A]

Can you think about the patience of the whoever's checking out all these kids at the Scholastic care?

[B]

I can't even imagine how hard it is.

[A]

They're just sitting there, like, taking money from kids, which priority feels weird. But then the kids are, like, asking questions, and this, like, how much is this one?

[B]

How much is this one? How can I get this one? I mean, you have to sit there with every kid and go over how much they have, how much it's going to cost. Oh, my gosh.

[A]

Yeah, I need. We need to test the patience of the specific people who do that. Yeah, I feel like they are the patients of a saint, for sure.

[B]

Or I'm telling you, if you ever want to learn if someone is going to be. If you have a job that you're hiring for that needs patience, take the applicant fishing with some kids. Okay.

[A]

This is oddly specific, but I like it.

[B]

And you will find out if they have patience or no patience.

[A]

That's a fair point.

[B]

Because we go fishing and my dad's there and all the grandkids and I mean, the amount of lines that get tangled, and my dad just sits there. Okay, here, I'll fix it. Where I'm like, I. Screw it. I'm done. Like, I'm. No, you're out. Like, I mean, we've done it twice. You tangled again. I'm done. Like, it takes so much patience to go fishing with freaking kids because they get their poles stuck on the tree and around the dock and I mean, on the rocks. It's unbelievable.

[A]

Maybe it's a thing of the older generation, because my dad used to take us all the time, and he never. I mean, he had two daughters. I didn't like touching fish, so every time I caught one, dad had to deal with whatever was on it. I also didn't want to put the worm on the hook, so he also had to do that. I was really just cast in the line. And he took us out there all the time to go fishing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So. And he loved it. It'd be like the next weekend, he's like, you guys want to go fishing again? He loved it. Maybe it's just, you know, with screens and everything, we've lost a little bit more patience.

[B]

No, no. I've just never had. My whole life, I've never had patience.

[A]

Never been a patient.

[B]

I'm not a patient person.

[A]

Even with your kids, haven't started to teach you a little bit more patience.

[B]

I've tried, and I'll yell at them sometimes. I'm like, ah, sorry, guys. I'm working on my patience. I'm working on it. I'm working on it.

[A]

It is one of the toughest things to work on.

[B]

It is so hard to be patient. Like, I'm going to tell you, you know what drives me nuts? Can I cough? Thank you for letting me do that. My patience just in general is so bad. But it's like, I hate. Like, my wife likes to lollygag, and I can't stand lollygagging.

[A]

Lollygagging. In what capacity?

[B]

Like, if we're going somewhere, she wants. But for on a Saturday morning, if we're gonna go somewhere, it's not a set time, per se, but it's like, okay, she'll wake up, and I'm like, all right, let's just go to wherever we're going. She's like, well, I want to have a cup of coffee. And she wants to sit there, and she wants to enjoy the morning quiet and sit there, and it just. I'm like, well, why are we wasting an hour sitting here? Like, you can bring your coffee to go. Just put it in a cup and let's go. Like, my patience for that is unbelievably low. Like, it drives me insane.

[A]

You like to be on the go.

[B]

You like to be like, if we're going somewhere, why are we gonna waste an hour sitting here drinking a cup of coffee? Like, put your coffee in a cup, get in the car, let's go.

[A]

Do you feel like maybe you had kiddos so you could keep your life just kind of moving and chaotic all the time?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Because what if you didn't have kids, right? You wouldn't have that urge to leave all the time?

[B]

I don't know. I feel like I've always. Like, even when I go on vacation, I'm not good at relaxing.

[A]

Yeah, I understand that. I'm not either.

[B]

I'm just not good at it, and I think that's part of my impatience.

[A]

But have you ever, like. You like to go and get massages?

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Fall asleep, maybe. Relax.

[B]

Is that you? That's. It is when. But when I sit down, like, when I'm done, like, when I'm. I fall asleep.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because I want to go, go, go, go, go, go. And then when it's relaxed time, you crash. I crash.

[A]

So you don't even know what relaxing time is because you're asleep most of the time, Right. That's a funny test for you.

[B]

Yeah. Like, the massages, it's like, oh, you pay this money for a massage, and they feel amazing. But then I feel like I cheated myself because I just go to sleep most of the time, and you don't.

[A]

Even feel what's happening, right. It does. Feels kind of like a waste of money, honestly.

[B]

It does. It does, right? Like, it's like, oh, my gosh, I have all these knots in my back, and they're getting them out, but I can't even tell because I'm. I'm out.

[A]

That's funny.

[B]

I'm drooling all over the floor.

[A]

That's true. You're very much a go, go, go. But you also don't have like ADHD or anything.

[B]

No. And I mean, yeah. I mean, I don't know.

[A]

I think because you can concentrate and you can.

[B]

I think a lot of people don't have. No, I'm not going to say this. I'm not going to say it because it's going to get people fired up. It's going to get fired up. There's no point. It's a Saturday. It's Thanksgiving weekend. I'm just thankful for everybody listening.

[A]

You got to work on some patience.

[B]

Is what I do have to work on patience. I do. I literally had to work on patience because I don't know, just it's so hard.

[A]

Breath in the moment.

[B]

It is so hard.

[A]

It is hard. It's hard. I'm not gonna discount that because it's hard having patience. Trust me, I get it. I'm also somebody who likes to be on the go. I also like to stack my schedule. So I'm always busy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I get it.

[B]

My wife's like, we don't have to go everywhere, somewhere every Saturday. And I'm like, I know but like, can we like go to the park?

[A]

I love how much you two are opposites.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Truly. In a lot of ways.

[B]

Like she wants to go on vacation and just lay at the beach. I'm like, okay, this is the most boring thing I've ever done in my life.

[A]

I have a follow up question, but we're gonna take a break. We come back.

[B]

Yeah, we'll take a break. Right back.

[A]

Really. I mean you both obviously love kids. You're both good parents. Like so there's something that.

[B]

Are we both good parents? Who knows?

[A]

I would like to think so.

[B]

In 10 years our kids could be like the most messed up kids ever.

[A]

Because the way we do it with everyone.

[B]

So, so maybe more bad parents.

[A]

Okay. As of right now I'm saying like.

[B]

You know what I'm saying? Like I have no Idea. What makes a good parent? What's a good man?

[A]

I mean, I guess I think you love. You both love your kids.

[B]

We see our kids. Yeah. Okay.

[A]

Yeah, I was trying to help kickstart you, you know.

[B]

Yeah. What are we similar?

[A]

Do you have similar likes or interests in things?

[B]

I don't know what you mean.

[A]

Things that you're interested in. Potential hobbies. Do you both like going for walks? You both like heading to the same vacation type spots?

[B]

Vacation is tough. Okay, because she would prefer to lay on the beach and do nothing. Yeah, because she feels like we do stuff all the time, busy with the kids. Whereas me going and laying on the beach, it feels like a waste of a vacation.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Then she wants to walk around an old city or a city. Me walking around a city and kind of lame. I'd rather go do like adventures like climb a mountain or ATV in the, you know, wherever in the outback or what? You know, something like that.

[A]

Okay, so I'm sensing a lot of compromise between you guys.

[B]

Yeah. So that, that's a little interesting because it's like, ah, it's different.

[A]

All I'm hearing is more differences. We need to find similarities.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think of similarities. Like.

[A]

What did you guys bond over when you had first started dating?

[B]

I don't know, because it's not like.

[A]

You went straight to having kids as soon as you got together.

[B]

Right? I mean, that's what I'm saying.

[A]

What did you both like doing? Because obviously there was a reason you guys liked each other and started hanging out and spending more time together. What did you.

[B]

No, literally, I. I don't know. Like, I don't know.

[A]

Did you black out when you guys first started dating? Do you not remember this time of your life?

[B]

No, no. But like, when you say like, hobbies, like, I play coed soccer, she doesn't play. I play golf, she doesn't play. You know what I mean? But we still.

[A]

Do you guys both like watching movies, do you?

[B]

No, she doesn't watch movies. And the reason she doesn't watch movies is because they make her feel and she doesn't want to feel anything.

[A]

So what did you guys do when you hung out together?

[B]

Oh, man, I don't know. I mean, we used to.

[A]

Did you drink like you like to drink together?

[B]

We did used to drink together. We used to go to the movie. I mean, we used to go to the movie. You know what I mean? We used to do different things. But as she's gotten older, she was like, there's Too much sadness. And so she doesn't want to watch a movie and feel okay. Feelings are hard, and so that's why it's like Tuesday or Tuesday. What'd you watch? Nothing. Because I can't watch anything because it makes her feel okay.

[A]

But do you guys still, like, go and have a drink together? Occasionally.

[B]

We'll go out to dinner every once in a while.

[A]

You're a foodie? Is she a foodie?

[B]

She. Oh, she's for sure a foodie.

[A]

Okay, there's something. We found a similarity.

[B]

I wasn't until Ryan made me become a foodie. It's all Ryan's fault. I'm gonna tell you that right now.

[A]

Your friend Ryan.

[B]

Yeah. Like, he is the one. Like, we've got to get you at different restaurants. And I have never tasted like. You know what I'm saying? Brought in the palate, brought in the palette. And I was just like, wow, that's crazy. Like, when I first started dating my wife, I didn't know what hummus was.

[A]

And she introduced you to hummus?

[B]

Yes. We went to a Greek restaurant in Houston, and I was like, dang, that's really good.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I never heard of hummus in my life.

[A]

Still funny, guys.

[B]

I'm in my 20s and didn't know what hummus was. Had never heard of the thing.

[A]

Were you also a big chain eater? I feel like it's a consequence kind of of where you're around.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Cause I grew up eating a lot of chain restaurants, so until I really moved to Nashville, I didn't have the full.

[B]

Yeah. And you got to understand, like, growing up, we didn't go to. We didn't go out to eat. When we went out to eat, it was Wendy's. It was McDonald's. Taco Bell Pizza.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, my dad. Love you, dad. He loved pizza so much. And we always had sporting events, me and my brother and my sister, every night of the week. So the last time we stopped eating dinner as a family, probably in fifth.

[A]

Grade, at the table, we were the same way. We never really had dinners at a table.

[B]

Right. So my dad would order pizza two times a week. Okay.

[A]

From, like, Pizza hut, Papa John's, Mr. Gadd's.

[B]

459-2222. Get him. Mr. Gaddy's Pizza delivered to you.

[A]

Is this the Texas pizza?

[B]

Yeah. So good that in college, I didn't eat pizza.

[A]

That's fair. You had it so much of your life.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

You're ready for other things.

[B]

And so when people like the college food Was pizza.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I didn't eat it.

[A]

But in the dorms, I feel like you have the kind of a buffet style.

[B]

Yeah, but. But I'm just saying, like, even like parties, you know, late night part. Late night food. I'll get pizza. I'm like, I'm out not eating it.

[A]

Did you order like McDonald's to your dorm or something?

[B]

No, we didn't have. We didn't have delivery back then.

[A]

Yeah, but some places still deliver.

[B]

No, no McDonald's in delivery. Like, we didn't have Uber eats.

[A]

I guess that's true. I don't know that we did either.

[B]

That was not that we. There was none of that.

[A]

Delivery drivers. So I.

[B]

Delivery drivers. Like when I worked at Jason's Deli, delivery driver. But they closed at like 5 o', clock, 6 o', clock, whatever.

[A]

I think we had a few late night delivery drivers.

[B]

Okay, there you go. But so back to my wife and I being similar. Yeah. We got a lot of similarities.

[A]

We found one.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The fact that you guys are both foodies.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, I'm gonna need you to think on this. And next time you're on Best Bits, we're gonna come back to this. And somebody remind me.

[B]

I literally just don't know.

[A]

Well, now I want you to talk to her about it. I'm so curious. Her thoughts. Also, just for you guys collection, she'll.

[B]

Be like, oh, we both have. We both love our family. I mean, but that's fine.

[A]

That is a similarity.

[B]

But that's obvious.

[A]

I want you guys to dig deeper than that.

[B]

So, I mean, that's a similarity, but it's like, it's obvious. Like, I like. I love sports. She's like, whatever about sports.

[A]

You both like reality tv. Yeah, there's that. Right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, so we got reality TV and foodies.

[B]

Okay. And that's it. Huh.

[A]

I think she likes movies.

[B]

Dang. This marriage is gonna work out pretty well, huh? Holy crap.

[A]

It's working.

[B]

You know, I. I don't know what other people would say. Like, what? They have similar similarities. Like, I have no idea.

[A]

Well, I think it also speaks to the evolution of relationships too. Right. Because when you guys first started dating.

[B]

You were doing a bunch of stuff. Yeah. Now it's like, we just. It's really based around the kids and doing stuff with them.

[A]

If you guys go on a date night now, what do you do?

[B]

Probably go to dinner and go home.

[A]

Okay. So there's the foodie aspect.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, like, she loves music.

[A]

Okay. Live music. But you don't really I was like, that's one because you work in music, but, you know, listen to me.

[B]

So, yeah, there's that. I've taught her how to gamble. She does like to gamble, like, when we go to, like, Vegas.

[A]

Yeah, you both love Vegas.

[B]

But she doesn't love as much as me. Like, she'll, like, bet $10, you know, and be like, all right, this is fun.

[A]

Oh, she's more, like, tolerant of what she enjoys.

[B]

Like, she likes the atmosphere and the sitting at the table and having a drink and, you know, the, like, interaction of people and things like that. And.

[A]

Okay, I'd say she likes Vegas then.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So we got Vegas foodie and your kids is one. And.

[B]

Oh, and then porn.

[A]

Okay, that was a joke. That was a horrible joke. Your poor wife. Your poor wife. Okay, speaking of. I'm telling you, please do this exercise. I want. I really want to know, like, your. Your wife's thoughts on this.

[B]

Okay. You want me to text her?

[A]

No, because not right now.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

You know, she's doing stuff.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But I'll have a listener remind me, and we'll come back to best bit. And I also. I want to know, because I found this on Amazon. I need to know if it's a cool gift idea for a dude. Do you ever spend time outside, like, working on things or doing stuff for the house?

[B]

Well, it depends what you're working on. Like, I fixed the fence a couple weeks ago. I had to replace pickets because my dog is breaking them. But, yeah. What. What do you got?

[A]

Okay, well, they make these portable TVs that have a speaker on it. You know how they have portable speakers? They kind of have that, but with a little TV where you can watch a game on. So if you're working outside, you can watch a game on this cool little portable tv. Is that a cool gift idea or is that, like, hey, do some more projects? Because here's your thing that you can watch on.

[B]

That's a catch 22.

[A]

I know. So I want a guy's take on this.

[B]

It's a catch 22. Because if you're working on something, you can't really watch the tv.

[A]

True.

[B]

But, like, say you're gonna say an outdoor radio. I mean, I'd rather. Cause if he's outside working on something, he can probably just pull up the Steelers broadcast on his phone, and that's what he does.

[A]

But this has a little bit bigger of a screen, you know, it's like a laptop.

[B]

He doesn't watch it, does he?

[A]

I think sometimes he'll check in, like, he'll be working on something. He'll check in, see what's going on, and then go back to work. You know what I mean? Yeah, but he also, mind you, he would never do that during a Steelers game. I don't. I do not force him to do anything during a Steelers game. That's our compromise. He gets to watch that full fledged. It's more other games.

[B]

Hey, can you ask him what happened last weekend to the Steelers?

[A]

I would like to know that every time I watch a game.

[B]

No, no. Can you ask him, like, what happened to the Steelers last weekend? Can you just text him real quick?

[A]

I agree. They did really good. And then they kind of sucked this week. So.

[B]

Yeah, can you ask him?

[A]

Can you ask him also, Aaron Rodgers, I feel like he's up and down a lot, you know?

[B]

No, but he didn't play.

[A]

He didn't play this last week and.

[B]

But yeah, so I'm saying just ask your boyfriend. Hey, who'd they lose to? Ask him.

[A]

Well, I feel like I remember the colors they lost to.

[B]

Just ask them.

[A]

I know they lost to your Bears.

[B]

Thank you. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you.

[A]

I couldn't tell what you were trending.

[B]

That's all I wanted. That's all I wanted. That's all I wanted.

[A]

I know what you're talking about.

[B]

Yeah. I don't think a tv, A little TV is a good gift because literally, if you're doing a project, you don't have time to watch it. You listen to it.

[A]

That's true. And maybe that's what he's doing and it's just on the little screen because that's how you have to listen to it. There's a screen on his phone. I just mean, like, you have to.

[B]

Oh, yeah, I figured. He just pulled up the Steelers play by play. The radio station that plays.

[A]

No, he puts the game on his phone.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

He'll, like, check in on it, but it's not. Again, it's not that one. It's like other games that he's watching for fantasy or.

[B]

Okay. Yeah. I don't know, man. I. I guess I don't watch TV on my phone.

[A]

That's true. You also don't know that that exists. I recently taught you that.

[B]

And I just don't, like. I don't get it. Like, I love football.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I love sports. But if I'm outside and I got it playing, like, the audio is fine by me.

[A]

Yeah, like you can hear the audio.

[B]

Because, I mean, if you're watching it Are you really doing what you're supposed to be doing?

[A]

I mean, he gets everything done.

[B]

Well, I can't. Okay, so maybe, maybe, maybe he wants a big screen so he can sit outside and watch it while he's hammering in something. I don't know.

[A]

No, this is a good perspective. This is why I was like, that looks cool. But I just. Realistically.

[B]

Yeah, realistically, I think an audio radio. But you don't even need a portable radio now because you have your phone. Right? He can pull up the Steelers broadcast on his phone and he doesn't need a radio.

[A]

Yeah. Okay. I thought it just looked cool. Amazon got me. You know when you see something cool.

[B]

Everything, they make things look cool and then it's like, is it really practical?

[A]

And that's why I was asking.

[B]

I don't think it is. But hey, maybe I'm just the right guy and I am.

[A]

No, it's okay if other guys out there and you're like, no, definitely get that. Let me know. I want to end this on a shout out. So I had a listener write me and I'm not sure their name, but I know their Instagram is two of a kind.

[B]

Oh, working on a full house.

[A]

Yes, they say. My wife and I listen to the Bobby Bone show every day. And your Saturday episode is always our favorite of the week. We also love the recent episode of your podcast with your boyfriend. It was a fun. Listen. Our one year anniversary is coming up on November 23rd, so that was this past weekend. And I was wondering, would it be possible to get a shout out on your Saturday show that day? And so I'm here to shout you guys out. Me and Lunchbox. I know we're like a little bit late. I just now saw it.

[B]

Hey, two of a kind. Sorry that we are a little late, but guess what? Better late than never.

[A]

Let me see if I can track down the names really quick. I'm gonna type down in their Instagram. Let's see it doesn't say in there. Okay, But I'm gonna see if I can find their. Their Instagram really quick based on them leaving me a message. Shout out Two of a kind. But they have a lot of underscores. When people have a lot of underscores, it always really throws me off.
