The annoying music, the automated message. It's excruciating. And right now, America's seniors are on hold, waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection. Waiting for America to care. Due to a growing aging population, rising costs and insufficient funding, Meals on Wheels programs are experiencing higher need than ever before. This wait is especially ridiculous because a proven solution already exists as Meals on Wheels remains the most effective and financially responsible solution to address senior hunger and isolation. Answer the call and help end the wait by donating at mealsonwheelsamerica.org donate the NBC Nightly News legacy isn't handed down or NBC News.

Amy
Part two.
Lunchbox
She's breaking down the top seven segments from the Bobby Bones show this week.
Bobby Bones
What's up, everybody? Happy weekend. I hope you're enjoying this. Maybe you're in Nashville for CMA Fest. It's a little crazy over here. Or maybe you're just enjoying a relaxing weekend. And if that's the case, I am certainly jealous right about now. So please have some relaxation or R and R for me. Check out part one, Part three. This weekend, Mike D. Joins me. We had some big life updates. So he and his wife celebrated their four year wedding anniversary. He has huge news with his braces. And my cat Hazel has unfortunately been hospitalized this week. So we talked all about that. Part one. Part three is always listener questions and we get all the answers that you want to hear. So check those out. But reason you're here is to catch up on the show. So let's do it. It's no secret that Amy and myself are not huge sports girlies, but we're trying to be. So Bobby quizzed Amy on NFL teams and she had to name whoever the team was based on the city, and it was super funny to listen to. She had some good answers.
Lunchbox
Number seven. We bet five bucks on you, Amy. I have bet on you. I think you'll get over 22 NFL mascots. If I give you the city, you give me the team.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
Eddie bet under.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
There are 32. You can miss 10.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
And this is all because on the show yesterday, there are four teams. One of the four teams, I'm gonna make my new favorite NFL team. I don't have a favorite NFL team. Grew up in Arkansas. We didn't have a team. But the teams that I have, the options are. I won't even say until we're done. I don't wanna give her any answer. Ready, Amy?
Scuba Steve
Ready.
Lunchbox
We'll go alphabetical. This will be pretty quick. So you only have like 5 seconds to give me an answer.
Morgan
Good luck, Amy.
Scuba Steve

Scuba Steve
I don't know.
Lunchbox
It's not the Buffalo Wild Wings, but I respect that answer.

Scuba Steve
Well, sorry. I grew up. Yeah. Okay. It's Texans.
Morgan
Amy, just answer right away.
Scuba Steve
That's what I just did.
Lunchbox
I like that strategy. Because I don't want you to talk. No, you shut. You take that hole. Take that little hole of yours and sew it up.
Morgan
Okay, but I like it when she answers quick.
Lunchbox

Morgan
No, no, we're not taking that bet.
Lunchbox
I didn't give you. I didn't give you the. What the rules would be.
Morgan
Dude, she's on a run. Like, I can't stop her.
Lunchbox
1, 2, 3. There's 6. Double or nothing. That she can get 4 out of 6. I say she can get 4 out of 6.
Scuba Steve
Honestly, I don't know what other team left.
Morgan
Can you give me, like, five seconds to think about it? She needs four out of six. Double or nothing.
Lunchbox
Okay, Amy, let's go. Four out of six. We got this. Pittsburgh Steelers, one.
Scuba Steve
San Francisco 49ers two.
Amy
Eddie, you going?
Morgan
Keep going, keep going.
Lunchbox
Seattle Seahawks, three.
Morgan
How'd she get that? That's the one. I was banging her.
Scuba Steve
I just. Here, so I don't get fined.
Lunchbox
If you get one more of the three, you win.
Scuba Steve
Does Marshawn play for them?
Lunchbox
Yeah, used to.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Washington.
Scuba Steve
How do I know that?
Lunchbox
Washington.
Scuba Steve
Oh, I wanted to.
Morgan
You gotta go Quick, quick.
Scuba Steve
Stop. I want to say Redskins, but I think they had to change it.
Lunchbox
Washington.
Scuba Steve
What's the. How do you get PC about this?
Lunchbox
Yeah, Washington Universal Skins.
Morgan
That's not bad.
Lunchbox
Not bad.
Scuba Steve
Are they still the Redskins? But they just don't say it.
Morgan
That's it.
Scuba Steve
Are they. Did they change?
Lunchbox
I need to answer Redskins. Incorrect. They are the commanders.
Scuba Steve
They changed it.
Lunchbox
There are two left.
Morgan
Come on.
Lunchbox
All she has to do is get one or two. Tampa Bay.
Scuba Steve
Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay At Tom Bay, as they say. Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Lunchbox
She knew it.
Morgan
She knew it.
Scuba Steve
Of course I knew it.
Lunchbox
And the one that was holding for the end in my pocket. Come on, Tennessee Titans.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness.
Lunchbox
I'll take $10.
Morgan
$10 is yours.
Lunchbox
See, when you bet on Amy, you win money. You got to bet on Amy. Every time I bet on Lunchbox and.
Amy
Keep losing, I would have got those right.
Lunchbox
No, I know, but that's your wheelhouse.
Amy
I'm just saying.
Lunchbox
Amy, thank you. I needed that cash.
Scuba Steve
Good job, Amy. Thanks for believing in me.
Lunchbox
I need that infusion. For sure. Great job. The four teams I'm deciding between to be my new favorite team are. Can you name them?
Scuba Steve
The Panthers of the. The South Carolina.
Lunchbox
No.
Scuba Steve
The Carolina Panthers.
Lunchbox
Yeah. And they're in North Carolina.
Scuba Steve
Oh, they are? Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Charlotte.
Scuba Steve
Okay. Yeah. The Carolina Panthers, the Denver Broncos, the Dallas Cowboys, and the Minnesota Vikings.
Lunchbox
Great memory.
Morgan
Pretty good.
Lunchbox
One of those four. I will make my new favorite team, but I will take my $10, Eddie.
Morgan
Yeah, it's coming.
Lunchbox
No, no, I need. I want to slap it on the mic you've been doing to me. Okay.
Morgan
Here you go.
Lunchbox
Yeah, thank you, buddy. Okay. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
So sometimes. So, Bobby, when I win for Eddie, he gives me a cut, right?
Morgan
I give him a tip.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, we're not doing that. I'll give you a tip. Learn the ones you didn't know. It'll help you later.
Amy
Yeah, go 100% next time.
Lunchbox
Yeah, Learn the ones you've missed. That's your tip.
Scuba Steve
What I care about.
Lunchbox
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Number two, Lunchbox wanted to get a little nosy, and he asked Abby how things are going with living with her boyfriend. And beyond that, what's the financial situation? Is she paying? Not paying? What's going on? So, yes, he did get nosy, and we were all witness to it.
Lunchbox
Number six, this may be awkward. Lunchbox, go ahead.
Amy
Yeah, Abby, I know you moved in with your dude and it's his house, so I just had this thought the other day. I'm like, does Abby pay rent to her dude, like, because it's his house, or is she just living rent free like a mooch?
Lunchbox
I mean, a mooch. I feel like that is not an appropriate way to ask the question. That's already kind of awkward. Would you like to answer it, Abby?
Scuba Steve
You know, that's a good question because I still have my place that I'm paying mortgage on.
Morgan
Oh, that's smart. Just in case.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
But you're still using electricity. I'm not on his side. I'm not on his side.
Amy
Like, you split the water bill.
Scuba Steve
No, we don't.
Amy
Whoa.
Lunchbox
Okay, We. All of your utilities are cheaper because you're not there, correct?
Scuba Steve
Yeah. This was a conversation we had.
Lunchbox
Good, healthy. No, I like it of like, it.
Scuba Steve
Would be kind of like a three month trial period where I wouldn't and then I would start paying. But we haven't had that conversation yet.
Lunchbox
How long have you lived there?
Scuba Steve
It's been like three months. This is now the time to have the conversation.
Lunchbox
What do you think the proper protocol would be?
Scuba Steve
I honestly don't even know. I should. I probably should, right? Like half.
Lunchbox
No, no, no, no.
Scuba Steve
Maybe not half.
Lunchbox
I don't think half now. I'd like to talk through it with you, if that's okay. Is this.
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Lunchbox
Appropriate and comfortable for you?
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Okay. He has a house, huh? Still paying a mortgage on the house?
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Lunchbox
You don't pay half because you're not it's not your house. So if you're going half and half, his half is equal to your half, but he's also getting equity.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Lunchbox
So that I would say would not be a fair percentage for you to pay. Let's say the house is $100 a month total in on the mortgage, I would say you would pay $30 a month and that you would pay half the utilities.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
How often are the kids there?
Scuba Steve
50% of the time.
Lunchbox
Okay. I now say 40% of the utilities. So I think the. If I were the negotiator here, the intermediary, I would say here's what we'll do. Because you're owning the house, it's your house. She's going to pay 30% of the rent because she gets no equity of the mortgage payment. And then she's also going to pay 40% of the utilities because the kids are using a bunch of the crap too.
Scuba Steve
I mean, that is like a sticky situation, right?
Lunchbox
No, it's not. Not if you go head on. It's an uncomfortable situation. But relationships are built through uncomfortable situations and conversations because then you feel so much freer after. I really had a hard time with my wife early on having those uncomfortable conversations because I never had to have them. I live by myself. I was single. I was never in a serious relationship ever. And so I was like, I don't want her to not like me because I always felt like I was one step away from her not liking me. And so I avoided it. I am now. I have learned that we have grown so much through the uncomfortable conversations, way more than the comfortable conversations. So it's not sticky, it could be uncomfortable, but either way, you're gonna grow from it. So it's now time for you to have that conversation. And I'm not saying go do it today, but I would encourage you to get ahead of it because he's probably going in his head, oh, man, I gotta bring this back up.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, he probably is.
Lunchbox
So what I would suggest to you, if this were my job as professional suggestor, I would say, hey, at three months, you say, hey, three months is up. I've been thinking about how we should do this. And if you feel uncomfortable saying it because you do sometimes struggle with saying things when you get nervous, write it down. Say, I've taken a second, I've written all this down. This is what I think would be fair and why. And you just hand a piece of paper. Okay, that's awesome.
Scuba Steve
I like that.
Lunchbox
He'll appreciate you. As they say, cutting to the chase. Because he's also thinking about it and he may actually go, I don't think you should pay 30%. Pay 25% and help out with. You help out with the kids. There's value in that.
Scuba Steve
Thanks, Lunchbox, for pointing that out.
Amy
No, I just. It was a genuine question and I just was wondering how you were living that life.
Lunchbox
Are we serious?
Amy
No, that was sarcastic.
Scuba Steve
Well, it was a little sarcastic. No, it's good. It was good because I did have this in my head and it's going.
Lunchbox
To weigh on you and be a point. It's going to be a bit of a minor anxiety for you until you address it. It is uncomfortable, but you grow through uncomfortable things. It's uncomfortable to physically grow. Think about that. When you're 13, 14, and you're growing, your body hurts. When you're learning something new, it sucks because you don't get it. You're clunky. It doesn't matter if you learn a piano or you're fixing. Learning how to fix a house, it sucks. You hit your thumb with a hammer, but you learn from that. Anything uncomfortable that results in growth is so much more of a benefit than the uncomfortable thing you went through.
Amy
And I got a great idea. Bobby is great at mediating. So we'll just bring your dude on air and Bobby can talk it out with him.
Scuba Steve
Oh, my God, he would love that. Not.
Lunchbox
I was gonna say. Cause I'm in. I'll do that, too. You don't have to do it, but if you do, please let us know.
Scuba Steve
Okay, Yeah, I will.
Lunchbox
That would be my healthy suggestion.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. Thanks for that.
Morgan
And what about Abby's house? Like, what's going on there?
Lunchbox
Well, at some point, she has to come.
Scuba Steve
I know. I just love my house. It's the first house I bought.
Lunchbox
Okay, allow me to say something else.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
Rent it out.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, I could do that.
Lunchbox
Do a. You know, it's. If you do a one year lease, you're not going to be able to charge as much. If you do a multiple year lease, you can charge a little bit more. It gives them a little security. The person who's running the house, I would not encourage you to Airbnb it. I would encourage you to rent out the house once you feel comfortable with that. But that's also a different commitment. That's a different level of commitment that I don't want you to be scared of making if you think you should make it. But, like, your guts are saying, um, but I'm nervous, but your head is saying, I should make it because, like, I'm in. Kick your nuts. Kick your guts in the nuts. Kick your guts in the nuts. And rent out your house.
Scuba Steve
I get nervous people are going to trash it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's part of running your house out, though.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
That's why you do a first and last month, last month's rent, and then you have insurance. And there's always something to fix once it's done. But you will make more and the equity will grow in your house. It will be worth it.
Amy
Okay, and then does he have a big enough driveway for both your cars?
Lunchbox
Great point. Abby has two cars. No, he doesn't actually sell one of the cars.
Scuba Steve
No, I love my other car. I don't want to get rid of it.
Lunchbox
Then sell the one you don't love as much.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, but what happens when a Morgan.
Lunchbox
Store it up here in the building?
Morgan
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Can I do that?
Lunchbox
Okay, let's go. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Thank you to the presenting sponsor of today's episode, American Express.

Being put on hold. The annoying music, the automated message. It's excruciating. And right now, America's seniors are on hold, waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection. Waiting for America to care. Due to a growing aging population, rising costs, and insufficient funding, Meals on Wheels programs are experiencing higher need than ever before. Currently, one in three Meals on Wheels providers has a wait list with an average wait time of four months. And in some places, it's almost two years. This wait is especially ridiculous because a proven solution already exists, as Meals on Wheels remains the most effective and financially responsible solution to address senior hunger and isolation. Answer the call and help Meals on Wheels serve every senior who needs us.

I don't know if you knew this.
Lunchbox
But anyone can get the same Premium Wireless for $15 a month plan that I've been enjoying. It's not just for celebr so do like I did and have one of your assistant's assistants switch you to Mint Mobile today. I'm told it's super easy to do@mint.
Scuba Steve
Mobile.Com Switch upfront payment of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required intro rate first three months only, then full price plan options available, taxes and fees, extra fee, full terms.
Bobby Bones
@Mint mobile.com Bobby made us all name a celebrity that we are kind of unfair haters of. But then he put a twist on it after we admitted that celebrity. And so this is all together right in here where we name the celebrity that we're haters of and then we had to do a report on them to hopefully change our perspective.
Lunchbox
Number five, there is a reason we're doing this segment so hang with us. But who are you unfairly a hater of? And I guess I didn't realize like how much Meghan Markle rubs me the wrong way. And I mentioned it yesterday, I was like everything about her seems inauthentic. Like, it's all up front. She's trying to do this presentation of, look how perfect I am. And nobody's perfect. Nobody's even great. People are good. Sometimes people are really good. Sometimes people are mediums. And people are below average. Just in general, we're human beings. Meghan Markle will have you believe she's the greatest human ever. And Amy was like, she's sending an email every day to her kids. They don't have access to it, but when they get old, they're going to see a story she wrote every day with pictures. And I'm like, you know what that is? That's sweet. But because it's from Meghan Markle seems very disingenuous. So not fair for me to feel that way. But I'm an unfair hater of Meghan Markle around the room. Amy.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. For some reason, I'm not really a big fan of Ben Affleck, and I don't know why. Like, it's just, like, think about it.
Lunchbox
Why? Let's talk, like, what about.
Scuba Steve
It's always been this way.
Morgan
Maybe his love life, his movies.
Lunchbox
I don't like a character.
Scuba Steve
I kind of like his. Like, I like going all the way back to Goodwill hunting. I like the movie, but for, like, if he's in it, I'm not like, oh, I gotta see it. I'm more like. Even though it's because that's why it doesn't make sense. Right. I just have this weird distaste for him.
Lunchbox
Interesting man.
Scuba Steve
I can't explain it. Poor guy. I don't know.
Lunchbox
Poor guy.
Morgan
He's fine. He's fine.
Amy
I don't think he's worried about it unfairly.
Lunchbox
You're a hater of Ben.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, like, I. I sort of am.
Lunchbox
Eddie.
Morgan
Ariana Grande. Unfair. But, like, she just seems plastic to me. Like, I feel like there is a real Ariana Grande that we don't know, because every time they show her award show, she's like, oh, everyone, good to see you.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh.
Morgan
I watched what's the movie with the Wicked. I watched Wicked.
Lunchbox
Like, it's like. And she was a witch. There's no way she was a witch.
Morgan
Yeah, it's just. She's just weird to me. And I feel like we don't know who she really is because she's fake and plastic and it's not fair.
Lunchbox
I feel like her being a child star.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Put her at a lot of disadvantages and also gave her a lot of advantages. But I feel you.
Morgan
Oh, well, that's not fair. But.
Lunchbox
Well, no, no.
Morgan
I see her and I'm like, I don't like her.
Amy
Lunchbox man, There's a couple I want to say.
Lunchbox
Just one, please.
Morgan
But you're not a hater.
Amy
Yeah. And it's the perfectionism. It's Tim Tebo.
Lunchbox
I loved him.
Scuba Steve
Oh, yeah, he's awesome.
Amy
There's no way, like, Eddie, you say he's that perfect.
Morgan
There's a way.
Scuba Steve
Come on, dude kind of is perfect.
Lunchbox
I refuse to use the word. I think he wouldn't use the word perfect, but. Go ahead, Lunchbox, speak your piece.
Amy
But that's what I'm saying. We. All the news coverage and media is like, he is just so perfect. He does this, he does that. He never curses. He never does. He never speeds. He never. He never.
Lunchbox
I never heard. He never speeds.
Amy
Crap. It's like, dude, guys, he doesn't walk on water. Like, he's just like us. There's no way he doesn't say he's.
Lunchbox
And I think he would tell you he's just like us.
Amy
Like, he's not with the boys. Just like, look at that hottie, yo. Look at. I mean, come on. Like, it's so obnoxious.
Lunchbox
So I give you a brief Tim Tebow, a couple of stories. One, I've met him in professional settings, he's been awesome. I've met him in non professional settings, he's been even better. Like, where he's come up to me and been like, bobby, what's. I've had multiple interactions and some with a bit of length, and he has been a. Where you're like, is that even real? But it's been at least four.
Amy
So you think he's really Mr. Perfect?
Lunchbox
Nobody said Mr. Perfect every time. He think he's extremely kind and thoughtful. Probably all the time.
Scuba Steve
And intentional.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Yes.
Scuba Steve
With his, like, words and thoughts. Like, I think he just is a.
Lunchbox
And I feel like he doesn't present it for others to see it. People say it about him more than he said.
Scuba Steve
And then that's unfair because he would. If he were here right now, I'd be like, oh, my gosh, guys, I'm far from perfect.
Lunchbox
Meghan Markle would be like, I am perfect. She's like, I am. I'm the most perfect parent. It's hard, but I am perfect. But.
Scuba Steve
But I get it. Lunchbox is jealous. I get it. You can't explain.
Amy
I'm not jealous.
Lunchbox
No, I can explain it. Jealous.
Amy
No, no, it's not jealous. It's like, he puts on this front and he carries this. Like, oh, my God.
Scuba Steve
Don't you think it would have. Like, the veil would have been lifted at this point?
Amy
Tiger was perfect for a while, and.
Lunchbox
Then the veil was lifted. You just lost your case in one second.
Amy
The veil was lifted. That's what I'm saying. Tiger carried it for so long, and everybody thought he was perfect. So why. Who's to say the Tebow is not perfect? Like, we all think so you're waiting.
Morgan
For that veil to lift on, ready.
Lunchbox
For him to take a golf club through the window of his wife. I would say the difference is Tiger, when he was younger, did social media, wasn't around. Tebow's been around during social media age forever. So the environment is completely different. And Tebow's also had 20 years now to do this in social media age. But I think that's jealousy. But, Morgan, do you have one?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I do.
Lunchbox
Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
Mine's James Corden.
Lunchbox
Oh. I think I've heard he's some really bad dude.
Morgan
I've heard that too.
Lunchbox
He's a bad dude.
Bobby Bones
I just, like, honestly, ever since watching blind karaoke, he's just always rubbed me in a weird way. And something about him feels so disingenuous what he's doing. And I just, like, my skin kind of crawls for some reason.
Lunchbox
I think I used to go, man, that guy's hilarious. And he can sing really well, and he's on Broadway, and it's like, wow. Like, I'm really envious of his toolkit. Man. I've heard some bad stories about that dude.
Scuba Steve
Really?
Bobby Bones
Oh, so my skin crawling was a.
Lunchbox
I think it was a good. I don't know.
Scuba Steve
Your spidey senses.
Lunchbox
Here is now part two of this bit. Everybody tomorrow must bring in at least 60 to 90 seconds of why they could possibly be wrong. Find something great about the person real. We're gonna prove.
Scuba Steve
Oh, lunchbox is the easiest one.
Lunchbox
We're gonna prove that our instincts can be wrong. So I want you to go and deep dive maybe 90 seconds, and I want you to prove yourself wrong. Find great things they've done that possibly changes your mind, because there are people out there now that have that feeling about you, that feeling about me, and we feel like it's unfair.
Morgan
Yeah, it is unfair.
Lunchbox
No, but you're doing that to somebody else. So this is a social experiment. Your goal tomorrow is to find 90 seconds, a presentation, and prove why you're gonna prove, like, they're awesome.
Morgan
Boy, it's gonna be tough.
Lunchbox
But you don't know that. You haven't done the work.
Morgan
I'm gonna make a Google. Like, what has Ariana done that's good?
Lunchbox
I want you to find it and bring it in. And the experiment will be, we're wrong a lot. And we could be wrong about this. And not everybody is one thing. Everybody have it.
Morgan
Yeah, we'll try our best.
Scuba Steve
Oh, shoot. Ben Affleck apologized for being criticized for groping an MTV presenter on air.
Lunchbox
And what do you mean, I don't.
Amy
Know what you're doing?
Lunchbox
Okay, well, I was trying to Google.
Scuba Steve
What he did good in the see what kind of addiction does men have? Alcohol.
Lunchbox
Do the research. No, it's not do the research. Tomorrow we do our presentations. Okay, Everybody good? Okay, goodbye. We all have a 90 second report to do on a celebrity that we admitted we're a hater of. Now, I didn't tell you guys you were gonna have to do something positive. So you said it going, I'm a hater. And then I said, now tell us why we should like the person. Did it give you a new perspective?
Morgan
Yes.
Lunchbox
Okay, no, I'll go first. I have a 90 second report on Meghan Markle. Because I said I'm a hater because she seems super inauthentic. Now, that being said, I will say no more negatively. I will admit it. I've been skeptical of Meghan Markle. I've said she come across as inauthentic, and maybe at times she has. But if I'm being fair, there are some positives that we must acknowledge about Meghan Markle. First off, Meghan has used her platform to champion important causes. Gender equality, mental health. She's always spoken out when it would have been easier just to stay quiet. She's a rich royal. That's a cool tag team for wrestling, too. The rich royals. Yeah, that have been cool. Like, that takes courage. Especially with the scrutiny she was already facing. She was an established actress before marrying into the Royal family. She built a career. She was in suits for seven seasons. Philanthropically, she's been hands on. She worked with World Vision, the United nations, and the Hub Community Kitchen, helping support women after the Greenfell Tower tragedy, which I also learned about in Love or Hater. You cannot deny that she helped force a long overdue conversation about the Royal Family race and the pressures of public life. That's impact. So, yeah, I've been a hater. But credit where credit is due, Meghan Markle has done some meaningful things in her spotlight. Thank you.
Scuba Steve
Nice.
Morgan
You still hate her.
Lunchbox
I Don't hate her. There's a difference in being a hater and hating her. I don't hate her, but I think I would be considered a Meghan Markle hater. Now I think I'm just a hater.
Morgan
Oh, hater.
Lunchbox
I used to be a hater. Now I'm a hater. It's a little limited. I just feel like she's. No, nothing negative. That's the rule. Okay, Amy, who is your celebrity?
Scuba Steve
Ben Affleck.
Lunchbox
And why did you not like him?
Scuba Steve
I'm not really sure why I'm not a fan. He just gives off a vibe. I. I don't.
Lunchbox
Fair enough, love. But I looked into him 90 seconds and go.
Scuba Steve
And here are some things that I can consider about him. Like first of all, he is named after a holocaust survivor friend of the family.
Morgan
Ben.
Scuba Steve
Someone that his family knew. Yeah, his name.
Lunchbox
That makes you like him more.
Scuba Steve
Well, I'm just giving you some origin of Ben. Yeah. So he's publicly battled addiction and he talks about sobriety with honesty, which I can appreciate. He goes out of his way to sign every autograph and take every photo. Like that's what he's known for. He's got a reputation for that. He's besties with Matt Damon and Matt seems awesome. He got kicked out of a casino once for being too good at poker. Did you know that?
Lunchbox
I maybe have read it. Don't know.
Scuba Steve
Too good at something. He co founded a nonprofit for the Congo and has gone there nine times. So he's actually not just all talk nice. He has action. He has testified before congress about stem cell research. And get this, he recycles.
Morgan
Oh, that's cool.
Scuba Steve
Like on Thursdays, he's known for as.
Lunchbox
He pushed out of the curb himself. Then I'm really in.
Scuba Steve
And then another thing that I have to keep in mind is that he was married and has children with Jennifer Garner and she seems like one of the most, most down to earth awesome people ever. So there has to be something about him that I'm missing. And I, I do think maybe from what I hear, they co parent well. So from what you hear, you have inside sources, but maybe they don't. I don't know. But I feel like being with her says a lot time.
Lunchbox
Are you the same amount of hater as you were?
Scuba Steve
I mean, he does recycle.
Lunchbox
Okay, there you have it. Okay, Morgan, who are you a hater of?
Bobby Bones
I'm a hater of James Corden.
Lunchbox
Okay, now tell us 90 seconds of positive things about the late night British singer Comedian, star of stage and screen, James Corden. Go ahead. Yes. Okay.
Bobby Bones
So he created carpool karaoke, which has obviously provided a whole lot of entertainment for people online and connected people to some of their biggest stars. It was a very cool invention, and it did a lot of awesome things on the Internet. And then in April 2020, when we had the Pandemic, he paid the salaries of all of his furloughed employees that were on his show, which was really cool. That was a really hard time for a whole lot of people. And then, like, when he did finally leave his late, late show, he used his farewell speech as an opportunity to, like, talk about the deep divisions in America. So he used his platform for some good things and for a pretty purpose. And then when he hosted the Brits, he donated his $50,000 fee that he got paid to do it to Comic Relief. I'm not sure where the Comic Relief was, but it was Comic Relief. So he was trying to do something good with his hosting. And then he also, in a lot of his charity charity work, he supported the Phoenix Foundation, World Jewish Relief, and the Salvation Army. So he had a lot of hands in a lot of things. This is my personal favorite one is that he donated to Magic Breakfast, where they provide, like, healthy breakfasts to disadvantaged children. So he funded over a thousand breakfasts to start, and then he got children to eat for.
Morgan
Why is Amy laughing?
Scuba Steve
Breakfasts.
Bobby Bones
Am I not saying breakfast?
Lunchbox
Did I say it weird? What do you say?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I thought I said breakfast. Breakfast.
Scuba Steve
She said breakfast.
Lunchbox
I'm going to be a hater of Amy for laughing during Morgan's. For Morgan's speech impediment.
Bobby Bones
I'm trying to talk about James Corden.
Lunchbox
Amy also has a speech impediment.
Scuba Steve
I do, yeah. I would say breakfast. I would say. This is something I would laugh at myself about. She said it once and then. And then she said it again. So then I was like, oh, that's kind of funny.
Lunchbox
Okay, breakfasts.
Bobby Bones
So am I continuing or.
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Lunchbox
I agree. Got her.
Scuba Steve
How is it Awkward.
Bobby Bones
And with the. We're talking about the kids here. So he got. He fed 1300 children for an entire year, which was really cool. And then he's also been married for 12 years, and they have three children. He hasn't been in the news for any scandalous things with his marriage. So that's good. You know, that's.
Lunchbox
Do you get credit now for not being bad? Do you feel like you're less of a hater?
Scuba Steve
A little bit less.
Bobby Bones
I I felt like I could find more if I. It would be cool if I could have found more. Let's put it that way.
Lunchbox
He did not invent carpool karaoke, by the way.
Bobby Bones
He didn't.
Lunchbox
It was already kind of like a series.
Bobby Bones
Well, then he takes off.
Lunchbox
Another thing popular. It was a podcast series called Carpool. But it doesn't matter. He did write a bunch of checks, it sounds like. That's good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I don't know that it really changed, but, you know, here we are.
Lunchbox
Here we are, Eddie.
Morgan
Oh, yeah. Mine was Ariana Grande. Okay. It on her, because I feel like she's plastic, not real. There's a side of her that we don't know, and she's hiding something. And she's like, I'm perfect.
Lunchbox
Okay, you keep going on the negative. Say, like, one thing. Go ahead.
Morgan
So I looked into Ariana Grande and.
Amy
She gives a lot.
Morgan
Back to the people. So when she had her concert in Manchester, England, there was a suicide bomber. It was really bad. Tragic. She still goes back. That was in 2022. She goes back every year. This last Christmas, she donated a thousand Christmas presents to a bunch of kids at children's hospitals in Manchester.
Lunchbox
And she went herself.
Morgan
She's gone herself.
Lunchbox
That's time and effort for sure.
Morgan
She has donated more than $12 million to Manchester, the community, which is awesome. She's donated more than $5 million to better help so they can have free therapy for people.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Morgan
That's pretty amazing. She's donated her royalties for her song Stuck with you to the First Responders Children's Foundation. Don't know what that is, but the money she made from that song goes to them. That's cool. She's allergic to cats. My wife's also allergic to cats. I understand that's trouble.
Lunchbox
And that's the thing. That's your whole point there. She's allergic to cats. Makes it more relatable and not plastic.
Morgan
Holy shit. So maybe that's what we don't know about her. These are cool things right here. She does great impressions of people.
Lunchbox
The best. She nails them.
Morgan
I had no idea. Ray, play the first one where she.
Lunchbox
Does Jennifer Lawrence just from Jimmy Fallon. She told me not to do a.
Scuba Steve
Game show, but I was like, screw it.
Lunchbox
I can have fun.
Scuba Steve
I'm a regular person.
Morgan
She sounds just like Jennifer Lawrence.
Lunchbox
Do you have any other ones?
Morgan
And then, yes, I have the Jimmy. The Jimmy Fallon one where she sings like Britney Spears singing Mary Had a Little Lamb.
Scuba Steve
Wow.
Lunchbox
Really hard.
Scuba Steve
Wow.
Morgan
Ariana Grande. I would like to publicly apologize for hating on you. I found a lot of good stuff about you. I like you. Now.
Lunchbox
There it goes. Number one fan. Number one fan. And our final report is from Lunchbox. Lunchbox. Who were you a hater of?
Amy
Tim Tebow. Mr. Perfect can do no wrong. He walks up.
Lunchbox
That's not the point. The point is that to talk about the things.
Amy
And now. I'm done being negative.
Lunchbox
Go ahead. You have 90 seconds.
Amy
Tim Tebow. He was a college football star at the University of Florida. When people are going to keggers and worrying about what broad they're gonna take home from the ball.
Lunchbox
What? What?
Amy
What broad?
Lunchbox
No, we heard you. We wanted you to say it differently. Go ahead.
Amy
What chick they were going to take home from the bar?
Lunchbox
Feels different for some reason. Yeah.
Amy
Tim Tebow's out raising money for the local hospital, and he also did it for Uncle Dick's orphanage down in the Philippines, where he was born. He was born in the Philippines. Did you know that?
Lunchbox
I did.
Amy
Pretty freaking cool. And he was like, oh, there's some kids that are disadvantaged, and we should raise some money to send them to Disney. So he did that while he's in college. And then he graduates, he goes on the NFL, makes millions of dollars. He's like, I'm not done raising money. I'm going to start my own organization. And what did he do? He built a hospital in the Philippines.
Lunchbox
Where he was born.
Amy
Where he was born. Because he wants to get rid of clubfoot and burn victims and other things that can be corrected by surgery. So he built a hospital. And then, last but not least, one of the greatest nights of my life.
Lunchbox
Prom.
Amy
Britann crown, prom king. There are kids that don't have prom because of intellectual disability abilities. So his foundation started Night to Shine, and he sends all of them to prom. Tim Depot. Hey, he might.
Scuba Steve
Tim Depot.
Lunchbox
I love Tim Depot. I never heard of him. Yeah, go ahead.
Amy
Tim Tebow.
Lunchbox
We all have speech impediments. That's the thing. When Amy said that to Morgan, I was like, we can hold up a mirror. Every one of us could hold up a mirror at the same time.
Scuba Steve
Yes. 100.
Lunchbox
Yes. Okay, go ahead. When you get in the middle of a mirror. Sorry to interrupt about Tim Depot. Go ahead.
Amy
Yeah, Tim Tebow. Maybe just the greatest human to ever live.
Lunchbox
Come on. What are you selling?
Morgan
In conclusion.
Amy
In conclusion, I thought, okay, he's just putting on a front. He's been putting on a front a long time, raising a lot of money, doing a lot of things. So maybe he is Just a great dude.
Lunchbox
And that, my friends, is a great example of Tim Depot. Tim Depot. Wow.
Morgan
Who knew he was Filipino? That's crazy.
Amy
No, no, he's not Filipino.
Morgan
Oh.
Lunchbox
If he's born in the Philippines, I think you could be considered Filipino.
Scuba Steve
But if you're.
Amy
Oh, his parents were just there being missionaries.
Lunchbox
Yeah. But if you're born there.
Amy
Here's what's crazy.
Lunchbox
Go for it. Did you know he had been at Home Depot?
Amy
Why? His mom was pregnant. She contacted dysentery, and they were worried that the baby was going to be a stillborn. And they. But abortions were. And they were like, you just need to get rid of the baby.
Lunchbox
A stupid commercial.
Amy
And she didn't do it. And that's when Tim Tebow was born.
Lunchbox
They did a Super bowl commercial that day a couple of years ago.
Amy
Man, there's a lot of commercials. I can't remember that, but I just was reading it and I was like, man, that's crazy. So not only from an early age that he overcome things. He was battling dysentery when he was.
Lunchbox
In the womb in a negative age.
Amy
And he was like, you know what? When I get out, if I survive this, I'm going to change the world.
Lunchbox
He said that in the womb.
Amy
That's what he had to be thinking.
Lunchbox
Let's go. 10,000.
Amy
That might be why he is just so perfect.
Lunchbox
Okay, thank you, Lunchbox. Good job. See, that's good, right? Look at the other side of things.
Morgan
We feel better about ourselves.
Lunchbox

We've all experienced being put on hold. The annoying music, the automated message. It's excruciating. And right now, America's seniors are on hold, waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection. Waiting for America to care. Due to a growing aging population, rising costs and insufficient funding, Meals on Wheels programs are experiencing higher need than ever before. Currently, one in three Meals on Wheels providers has a waitlist with an average wait time of four months, and in some places it's almost two years. This wait is especially ridiculous because a proven solution already exists, as Meals on Wheels remains the most effective and financially responsible solution to address senior hunger and isolation. Answer the call and help Meals on Wheels serve every senior who needs us When I used to drive for Meals on Wheels, knocking on their door, handing them that hot meal, the smile on the face, the look in their eyes and the conversations we had meant everything.

Bobby Bones
Lunchbox called me out, which, you know what's new. It's just another Tuesday at the Bobby Bowden show. But he wanted to share his thoughts and feelings after I sent an email to our office here down in Nashville.
Lunchbox
And whatever number four trigger alert for someone in the studio. Lunchbox claims that Morgan's spamming the office. Just. I think somebody's gonna get upset at this, but go ahead.
Amy
Oh, my goodness. She sent out a whole company wide email. Nashville all, hey, guys, look at me. I won this award or I'm gonna be in some magazine. Some bull crap. I don't understand what it was.
Lunchbox
Okay, but how do you call it bull crap if you don't know what it was?
Amy
Then this is where it gets hilarious. Like, I would love your support and I get a special award if I sell the most tickets to this thing. So I'd love for you to come. And you click on the link and I'm thinking, oh, 10, 20 bucks. Okay, people can come. $134 to go with Morgan to this event. I mean, I don't know who Morgan thinks she is, but paying $134 to go to this thing? Outrageous. And I think Morgan was also fishing for replies like, oh, so proud of you. So congratulations. Not a single reply. Cricket.
Scuba Steve
Not a reply.
Lunchbox
Well, not a reply all.
Scuba Steve
Maybe they replied to her.
Amy
Nobody replied.
Lunchbox
Is any of this rooted in the fact that the news asked her?
Amy
No, no. I just saw this come across celebrity.
Lunchbox
Softball game and not you.
Amy
No, it just came across my email and I'm like, oh, my goodness. She is fishing for people to love on her, looking for it and she's wanting people to support her and just, oh, I'll come, I'll come, I'll come. $134. Oh, geez.
Lunchbox
So I do have the email here. I don't check more work email heaven in years. So I didn't get it, but I can read it here. Hey, everybody. I hate to blow everyone's inbox up. Wanted to share some exciting news. I was chosen as a in focus fresh faces of philanthropy for 2025. And it's about her and her dog Remy. And they've Been going to old folks home. Is that the proper thing to say?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Older folks home, assisted living.
Lunchbox
Yeah, sure, yeah.
Scuba Steve
Senior living.
Lunchbox
I could have probably picked better words. And they've. She'd been going with the therapy dog. Her dog Remy. And so they nominated you or gave you an award. What was it?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, they nominated me. Ave's Garden nominated me for this award through Infocus, and Infocus selected me.
Lunchbox
And so you sent the email out and I'm seeing the link here. So what do you. What do you get for the is 130 bucks.
Bobby Bones
Well, so, okay, I sent it out. I don't care about the award that you get in the night. I was just trying to be fully transparent. But what happens if I were to win that award? A huge donation would go to Abe's garden. Oh, so it was close.
Lunchbox
Are you to winning the award?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I won't know until that night of they don't tell us. So in like I sent this to Abe's garden. We sent it to a whole bunch of people trying to just see how much money we could raise in hopes that Ave's Garden will be the winner.
Lunchbox
And do you have a bunch of people going as you accept your award?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, there's a bunch of people through Ave's Garden. And I thought it would be cool from people from work because it's an opportunity for community and charity. You just never know who somebody knows and how a senior living community is impacting somebody else. So that's why I send it out. I never send Nashville all emails.
Lunchbox
An individual ticket is125. What if we buy a ticket and don't go?
Bobby Bones
That's fine. You can totally do that.
Lunchbox
What?
Scuba Steve
Oh, well, I guess the is the evening benefiting something or whatever you're buying the ticket for goes to whoever wins.
Bobby Bones
It will go to whoever wins. So they're all regardless, the money will go to charity.
Scuba Steve
Perfect. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Regardless. I'm just hoping it goes to my charity.
Scuba Steve
Exactly. Yeah.
Lunchbox
There's a bring a crowd bundle Ticket bundle includes admitted for 10 guests, reserve seating, featured businesses or company logo, VIP swag bags, special recognition. Do you have 10 people?
Bobby Bones
So Abe's Garden bought a table. So there we do have like a 10 people doing that.
Lunchbox
Do you have 10 more people?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Scuba Steve
Is your boyfriend going?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but he's coming with me. So that was like by way of.
Lunchbox
If you can get 10 people to go, I will buy a table.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Scuba Steve
Oh, so like Bobby buys the table, Morgan fills it.
Morgan
Because we're not Going right.
Lunchbox
Well, I will buy the $2,000 table.
Amy
Oh, my goodness.
Lunchbox
Wow. But I am not gonna go.
Bobby Bones
That's okay. You don't have to go. But that'd be really, really kind of you.
Amy
Maybe hilarious to have an empty table just by the table.
Lunchbox
No, no, but on the table. We'll put. I'll put like a logo or something of the show or the podcast.
Scuba Steve
Morgan, I already. I have a conflict that night.
Lunchbox
I do, too. Or I would go.
Bobby Bones
That's okay.
Lunchbox
My conflict is I don't want to go.
Scuba Steve
I legit have another conflict.
Bobby Bones
No, it's okay.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And I was not fishing. And people did respond. I don't think you were fishing individually. Cause I said at the bottom, if you have any questions, respond individually. I know how much it sucks to get blown up by all email.
Lunchbox
I also cannot go because it's at 6pm on Wednesday, June 11, 2025. But I will. I will buy a table for $2,000 and will that if you can fill it. And we'll put a logo up. Whatever they want us to do.
Amy
They serve dinner.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's. There's absolutely.
Amy
My wife, me and kids are in.
Bobby Bones
You're not invited.
Morgan
Got him.
Scuba Steve
That could be fun.
Lunchbox
No, no, don't be on his side. He just insulted her and brought the whole thing up. Now there's.
Amy
But if someone's paying for something.
Lunchbox
No, not someone. Me.
Amy
That's what I'm saying. That means I'll go.
Lunchbox
Abby, maybe I will buy a table and then see if you can find the 10 people to be at the table.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I can do that.
Lunchbox
And hopefully all the money. And if it doesn't, it goes to something good, right?
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Lunchbox
Okay, I'll buy a table.
Bobby Bones
That's really kind of you, Bobby.
Lunchbox
I didn't get the email.
Morgan
I mean, you did, but you didn't check it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, well, I don't know. I checked that thing in years, man. I'll be honest with you. Okay. Congratulations.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Lunchbox
That's really cool. You've been doing a lot of great work. That's mostly why I'm buying a table. Because you've been working hard at this for. Not just for a year, for a long time. You even got your dog certified to be a therapy. Therapy dog. Yeah. What?
Amy
How often do you go to the old folks home?
Bobby Bones
We go several times a month.
Lunchbox
She went and did a podcast with all the old people, too. Or the elder. Oh, I don't know. I don't want to get canceled, like 10 years for saying the wrong thing about Old people.
Bobby Bones
Most politically correct is senior living community.
Morgan
Yeah, that's a lot of words though.
Lunchbox
That is.
Scuba Steve
That is slc.
Lunchbox
Yes. Salt Lake City can't have those initials. Okay, Morgan, I'm gonna buy that. You get the people to go and we'll put a logo of something up there. Maybe we'll do it. Lunchbox's head.
Morgan
No, you give him all the credit.
Lunchbox
No. Okay, that's true. Okay. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Number two, there is something Eddie's 11 year old son wants to start doing, but he is not thrilled. His son is an athlete. He wants his son to be playing sports and focusing his energy on that. Well, that is changing. His 11 year old wants to do something new and there's a whole lot of perspectives in here.
Lunchbox
Number three. I think it's cool to be in band at school. I think it's cool.
Morgan
Do you?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I, I wish I would have been in band. I didn't get in band because I couldn't afford the instrument. So I was embarrassed to have to go and ask for money or to loan and borrow an instrument.
Morgan
But you did sports too, right?
Lunchbox
I would have done both. I would have thought it was cool to learn music. I don't. Why did you grunt?
Amy
Ah, man, band. I just. I don't get it.
Lunchbox
Right, that's correct. You don't get it.
Amy
I don't get it. I mean, I will say there was one guy at my high school, Nick Batani, and he was stud athlete and he would march in the band at halftime in his football uniform.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's cool.
Morgan
That is cool.
Lunchbox
Dan Hampton did that.
Morgan
Who's that?
Lunchbox
Chicago.
Amy
They play for the Bears.
Morgan
Oh, okay. Thought he went to Mountain Pine High College.
Lunchbox
No, no, nobody. Mountain Pine did we like 11 people in the band. I wish I could have been a band. And so now.
Morgan
Yeah, so my 11 year old son's going into middle school and you know, they have all the electives and he's like, guys, I think I want to do band. And I was like, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on, hold on. You're an athlete. Like you play basketball, you play football, like this is what you do. Like I'm a musician, I love music. But marching band, to me that's a waste of time. You know, you're going to be a basketball star. Focus on that.
Lunchbox
What do you think he'll have and learn more from in life by doing basketball? No. Team sports, playing high. But he can do both. Now.
Morgan
See, now that what Lunchbox said, that's Kind of cool. He's playing. So lunchbox. He plays the game, and at halftime.
Amy
Yeah. So he doesn't even go in for the halftime adjustment speech. He just goes against his. Whatever instrument. And he would get in the formation, and he'd be in there as Anderson Trojan uniform.
Lunchbox
Doo, doo, doo.
Amy
Marching. I don't remember what instrument he played, but stud athlete. Stud.
Lunchbox
So what if he wasn't a student? What if he was somebody who just played sparingly and then also wasn't banned?
Amy
That's pretty bad. That means that's embarrassing. Like, it's cool. I guess it's better that he's a stud athlete. It's like, okay, like, he actually is important to the football team or whatever team. If he was just like a bench warmer and be like, oh, they don't really need him in the locker room anyway.
Morgan
Now. Now, if he was like, dad, Dad, I want to buy a drum set. I want to start a band. Like, okay, now we're talking. You can be a basketball player, football player, start a rock band. I'm all for that. But marching band? I don't know.
Scuba Steve
Oh, come on.
Lunchbox
I. I vote yes for marching band. You.
Amy
I'd say no. I'd encourage my kids not to do.
Lunchbox
It because that's just a bad look. It's not a bad look. That's what I'm saying. It's a great look. It's a great look, and it's something he'll be able to use. Learn how to read music. So if he does want to be in a real band later, you don't know how to read music.
Morgan
I don't, because I wasn't a man.
Lunchbox
How great would that have been?
Morgan
Yeah, it would help a lot.
Amy
Also, also, if he does join the band, just don't allow him to get a letterman jacket with band on it. That is an absolute.
Lunchbox
No.
Amy
No kids that did that. I was like, guys, you ain't in the sport. You're just in the band.
Morgan
Like, the logo's like, a little big drum.
Lunchbox
No, no, it's the school letter. But it has, like, one of the little patches on the letter.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
Or a musical instrument. It's like, no, that shouldn't be going on the jacket.
Lunchbox
Sorry, Amy.
Scuba Steve
I say go for it. I wish I would have been in the van. I think that'd be awesome and so fun and.
Morgan
But are we saying that now because we weren't in the van? Like, what if we were in the band?
Lunchbox
I wish I would have been in the band, because then I wouldn't have had to buy a guitar at a pawn shop at 20 years old and learn chords from a Walmart poster. I mean, that would have been awesome. And I would have been in band if I could have afforded it, but I couldn't afford it. I was embarrassed. We had no money, so I don't want to beg for an instrument. So I think it's great if he wants to do it. Are you at the age, too? When you're 11 or 12, you're just kind of finding yourself.
Morgan
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Meaning you're trying all these different things.
Scuba Steve
I know, but his dad has already defined him as an athlete.
Morgan
No, whoa, whoa, not me. He's an athlete. He's been playing sports since he was little.
Scuba Steve
You're saying, whoa, whoa, you can't do band, you're an athlete.
Lunchbox
Well, more that's true. In his mind, it is one or the other.
Morgan
More on my side is, like, the time, like, you're gonna want to take time away from your practices and your sports to learn how to play trombone. I don't know.
Lunchbox
Is it trombone he wants to play?
Morgan
No, he didn't say the instrument.
Lunchbox
Doesn't matter. What if he's like, and, dad, I really want to play the flute?
Morgan
Nah, dude, no way. No way. We can't do that. We can see.
Lunchbox
Can you imagine?
Morgan
He plays football, and then halftime, he does a flute in the march.
Lunchbox
Does the instrument, I won't say matter, but does it make it worse?
Amy
Yeah, for sure. Like, I mean, the only, I think, reasonable one, I guess, is the saxophone Pretty cool. Or the drums? The drum.
Morgan
The snare. The snare is pretty awesome.
Lunchbox
What about the tuba? No.
Amy
You know, tuba's not cool, guys. Tuba's not cool.
Lunchbox
What about the trombone?
Amy
No.
Scuba Steve
Clarinet?
Amy
I don't know what clarinet is.
Morgan
What about trumpet?
Amy
Oh, that's that. Oh, okay. Yeah, I guess that's all right. Is trombone cool? I don't think it's cool. And there's not really trombone's.
Lunchbox
This one.
Amy
Yeah. I just don't see a lot of use for the trombone either. Like, later in life, you don't see a lot of trombone players, so it's like, really a wasted spot.
Scuba Steve
Could we go into jazz?
Lunchbox
I'm not even saying he'd play the trombone forever. It's learning music, learning how to read music.
Morgan
But if you picked up a flute, would you learn music?
Lunchbox
Yes, you would still learn how to read music.
Morgan
You would learn flute.
Lunchbox
No, you would learn how to read music, but you'd also learn flute, and.
Scuba Steve
You learn how to march and, like, be Coordinated and work as a group.
Lunchbox
And all your band friends.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, because.
Amy
Oh, yeah, social life goes down the hill.
Scuba Steve
It's more craft. Like, it's more. There's more to it than you think.
Lunchbox
So are you encouraging? It's not. Don't. Don't say that. I can't even be on that side because band's not a sport. But it is a.
Scuba Steve
The competitive marching part.
Lunchbox
It's a. Would you say battle the bands is a sport?
Scuba Steve
No, I guess I was just thinking of, like, it is a competition.
Lunchbox
It's a musical competition.
Scuba Steve
They do like.
Lunchbox
Band is not a sport. I cannot subscribe to that. I will say band. Learning an instrument is really difficult, but.
Scuba Steve
When they do those really intricate, you.
Lunchbox
Know, HBCUs, those are sports. When they do those halftime shows, that's a freaking sport. When we got a bunch of white people playing instruments, marching, that's pretty lame. Not the playing of the music, because.
Amy
The music's cool, but.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Yeah. Not a sport, though. Band, not a sport.
Scuba Steve
Okay, well.
Lunchbox
But music in general is not a sport. And I think.
Scuba Steve
I didn't know about the marching band part.
Amy
Next you're gonna tell me choir's a sport.
Scuba Steve
No, they're not marching on a football field.
Lunchbox
Okay, so what are we doing here?
Morgan
I don't know, man. This is a tough one because.
Scuba Steve
It's not that tough. You let your kid do it.
Lunchbox
You let your kid do it.
Morgan
No, when. If he comes and says, like, I'll quit basketball and football for this. Now we're. No, we can't allow.
Lunchbox
What if he only. He's like, I just want to pick one and focus on it and. Dad, it's the flute.
Morgan
Ask your mom.
Lunchbox
Oh, okay. That's not a no then.
Morgan
Well, I. I don't want to kill his crush. His dreams, but I also, like, I can't allow that.
Lunchbox
What if he's like, dad, I just want to dance?
Morgan
Ask your mom. I'm out.
Lunchbox
Okay, let us know how that goes.
Morgan
I will.
Lunchbox

The annoying music, the automated message. It's excruciating. And right now, America's seniors are on hold, waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection. Waiting for America to care. Due to a growing aging population, rising costs and insufficient funding, Meals on Wheels programs are experiencing higher need than ever before. Currently, one in three Meals on Wheels providers has a waitlist with an average wait time of four months, and in some places it's almost two years. This wait is especially ridiculous because a proven solution already exists as Meals on Wheels remains the most effective and financially responsible solution to address senior hunger and isolation. Answer the call and help Meals on Wheels serve every senior who needs us. When I used to drive for Meals on Wheels, knocking on their door, handing them that hot meal, the smile on the face, the look in their eyes and the conversations we had meant everything. So be part of the solution. Answer the call and help in the wait by donating at mealsonwheelsamerica.org donate hey.

Bobby Bones
We had to get a little controversial and share the most overrated bans in our opin. And there are some show members that felt personally attacked during this moment. And it was funny to listen to and witness because we all have our favorite bands, we have the things that we love, right? But there's always somebody else out there that feels that that particular thing you love is overrated. And that's exactly what this segment was all about.
Lunchbox
Number two, I gave nobody a heads up on this question. I'll give you guys about 30 seconds to think about it. The most overrated band ever. Oh, lunch is quick.
Morgan
Well, this might be the easiest question.
Lunchbox
Okay, now, overrated can still mean a good band, but maybe people think they're great. A great band. People think they're the best ever. A bad band people think are good. So overrated doesn't mean not good only. So most overrated band ever. About 10 more seconds. Amy, you good?
Scuba Steve
Mm.
Lunchbox
Now, I gave nobody prep this was gonna happen. So this is all just coming off the top of your head. Most overrated band ever. Amy.
Scuba Steve
Nirvana.
Lunchbox
What? Wow. Okay.
Morgan
What did they do to you?
Lunchbox
Wow, you are a hater.
Scuba Steve
Well, I just feel like.
Lunchbox
And you're Nobody's right. Nobody's wrong. Go ahead.
Scuba Steve
He died and then that catapulted it to like, I don't know. It just seems like it's legendary. But they weren't really weren't even around that long.
Lunchbox
Accurate statement. And I do think his death did create a lifetime of fame and meaning for Nirvana. They did create an entire sound, or at least make that sound popular and pop. And I love Nirvana. I'M not gonna be offended, because everybody has the right. And I can even accept that they could have been overrated. That doesn't mean they weren't good.
Scuba Steve
Right? You just said that before we went to it. You said before.
Lunchbox
I know. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
It doesn't mean.
Lunchbox
I just. I love Nirvana's big part of our childhood, so I'm trying not to be offended here. Okay. But I think that's a good answer. And a lot of people probably feel that way that are dumb anyway. Exactly. Did I say that out loud? I thought that was only in my head. Okay. Good answer. Okay. Morgan. Most overrated band ever. You're not right. You're not wrong. Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
There's gonna be somebody in the studio that's really mad about this.
Lunchbox
Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
But they've talked about this band so much that I decided to listen to him because I didn't grow up on B.E.
Lunchbox
Pearl Jaminetti.
Morgan
Oh, my God.
Lunchbox
It's gotta be Pearl Jaminetti.
Morgan
I'm gonna trigger. Yes.
Lunchbox
Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
He's talked about this so much. He's so obsessed. All he wants to do is see them go to every concert they have. And I was like, let me go look into this. So I listened for all about five minutes, and, man, Pearl Jam is just not my jam.
Morgan
This is so dumb.
Lunchbox
That's hilarious. I love it.
Morgan
I love that she went to go listen to him, though.
Lunchbox
That's good. Hey, you're curious. Yeah. Open mind.
Bobby Bones
I was trying. Because he's so in love with them, they had to be good.
Morgan
What was it that you didn't like about him?
Bobby Bones
They were just kind of basic. It was all about the same. I didn't really feel excited. I like to get excited with songs and every song, I was just. Just like, cool. I'm bored. Moving on.
Lunchbox
Wow. I like Pearl Jam. I don't love Pearl Jam. I like Pearl Jam. But that's Eddie. That's Eddie's favorite. What's up?
Morgan
Not. Definitely not Overrated.
Lunchbox
Nobody's right. Nobody's wrong. Stupid. Nobody's right. Nobody's wrong. Thank you. Thank you. Morgan, Lunchbox. You wrote down you went quick. Yeah, go ahead.
Amy
I saw this band one time in person at Austin City limits ACL. And I mean, one song took 45 minutes. Dave Matthews Band. They suck.
Lunchbox
They are so awful that it just feels like the worst.
Morgan
Yeah. Why would you say that?
Amy
I mean, people love that band. And he gets so much love, and they are horrendously bad.
Lunchbox
I just think you don't like jam bands.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Scuba Steve
Did Dave Matthews Band that. Like, Jam Band? Also like Grateful Dead, as pre them.
Lunchbox
Yes. Grateful Dead, Fish. But Dave Matthews, man, actually had hits, too, which was a rare combination.
Scuba Steve
That other one. My friend travels the country watching them.
Morgan
Widespread Panic.
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Lunchbox
Another one. Yeah, it's that version, and I'm not big into that, but Dave is awesome.
Amy
Oh, man. No. They would sing, and then they would play the guitar for 12 minutes with no words, and it was like, what are we doing?
Scuba Steve
They're jamming now.
Lunchbox
I'm not a fan of the concerts either. Oh, but I think you cannot be a fan of. Because those songs sometimes. And it's like. And you're really. And then they get. They started again. You're like, oh, man, I can feel you on the jam ban part. I don't like anything like that. But that might be the dumb. I think they're in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Morgan
They are.
Lunchbox
I think Nirvana's in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.
Morgan
So is Pearl Jam.
Amy
Are they?
Morgan
Yeah. Yes.
Scuba Steve
They are overrated rock and roll.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I kind of love Dave Matthews Band. I think they're awesome. Okay, but.
Amy
But no one's wrong.
Lunchbox
No, that was kind of wrong. That was kind of. I think, you know, like the style more than the band.
Amy
Maybe. But that was the first time. I mean, I don't listen to music, but that was the first time I really sat there and I was like, oh, my God. And my buddy John loves them. And he's like, this is so good. I'm like, dude, he has been on the same song for 45 minutes.
Lunchbox
You would hate all those bands then. I think you think jam bands are overrated then.
Amy
Okay. Jam bands. I don't. I didn't know that was a term.
Lunchbox
But do you know, like. Let me give you, like, a crash into me.
Amy
Yeah, I know that one.
Lunchbox
Good one.
Amy
That's a fine song.
Lunchbox
It's a fine song. You don't hate it?
Amy
I don't hate it, but she's been.
Lunchbox
Down into the reason.
Amy
No, that's not the same song.
Morgan
No, different song.
Lunchbox
Different song.
Amy
Okay, then I probably know it because it's. I recognize that space between.
Lunchbox
No.
Amy
Is that the same song you just sang?
Lunchbox
Nah, different. No, No. I do a bad impression.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
Okay. Nobody's right, nobody's wrong.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Okay. Hey, Ray, do you have one over the band? Yeah. Give me the Beatles.
Morgan
Oh, my goodness. Can we end this segment?
Lunchbox
I can understand it. I don't agree, but I can understand it.
Amy
I sound whiny.
Lunchbox
Well, and I may sound incorrect. In saying this, are. They're British. They're. They sound British. Ed Sheeran did a great job of becoming an Americanized. I just feel like all their music sounds like it's across the pond.
Morgan
It's not from though, right?
Lunchbox
I'm not into that. I want American people. Interesting. And it's just the one song. I know. Rock and roll is kind of a mix of black influence and European influence too. Like, that's really what rock and roll is. Any of the white artists stole from it. And look at the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin. Like the who. Yeah, I hear you. You're not right. You're not wrong. But I can understand people saying the Beatles because the Beatles are the number one tier of the biggest band of all time. And some people may not agree with that.
Morgan
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Like you.
Morgan
I don't agree.
Lunchbox
I mean, I don't agree with Ray either, but I can see where that comes from. And here's who I'm gonna put in. This is the reason I just read a whole interview on the. They're on the front of a magazine and I like them fine. But they're not the God tier. You too?
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
What is wrong with. All right, you guys, These are all great bands.
Lunchbox
I didn't say they were bad or even mid.
Morgan
That are very well.
Lunchbox
Okay. But I think they're overrated.
Morgan
Yeah, you guys are.
Lunchbox
They even have good songs. It's Beautiful Day. Yeah.
Morgan
You like that one, Amy, right?
Scuba Steve
I like that one, but I also like.
Lunchbox
And I still haven't found what I'm looking for. That's a good one.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. Nobody's right, Nobody's wrong With or without you.
Lunchbox
Good song.
Scuba Steve
That's you too.
Morgan
Yeah. With the.
Lunchbox
Without you. It's great. They're not love. They're not God tier, as they call that. Top. Top. Top tier. They're not that.
Scuba Steve
Really.
Lunchbox
You too? Yeah, I put like. I put like Dave and Nirvana, but I can. Yeah, that's fine. I know. I like them. Yeah, I like them. If they came to town and they're playing on a Wednesday night in town, I would not go.
Morgan
Eddie would 100. I would go. And I would drag you along with me.
Lunchbox
I would not go. Acdc. If they came and played, I would go On a Wednesday night.
Morgan
What? Over you two?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Morgan
I don't get it. I don't understand any of you guys.
Amy
What about Dave Matthews? On a Wednesday night we're going.
Lunchbox
If Dave would play the songs and not play 50 minute versions. But that's not My style. Like, their fans love that I would go to a Dave Matthews concert. Again, because they're really good, but they just play. The jam band thing's not for me. I like. I like to sing along with songs. They have a ton of hits. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Most jam band people, they're partaking in other things, right?
Lunchbox
For sure. Life and love and the pursuit of happiness.
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Lunchbox
Okay, that's all I just wanted to say. Whoa, whoa.
Morgan
I haven't gone yet. Why'd you skip me? My. This was the easiest question I've ever gotten in my life. Because you're gonna skip me. Because you know what my answer is?
Lunchbox
Go ahead.
Morgan
The most overrated band ever. And this goes in the category of bad band, but people love them.
Lunchbox
Okay, go.
Morgan
It's Nickelback. They are terrible. Why does this band even exist?
Lunchbox
Uneducated. You see a cliche and chase it down like it's your mom. You're a hater.
Morgan
I think I started this cliche. You don't think I did.
Lunchbox
Nickelback has some awesome songs.
Amy
They have hit.
Lunchbox
Yeah, no, Nickelback's awesome. Nickelback's awesome. But see, all these bands are rated highly. Everybody just feels like they're overrated.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Morgan
Well, I guess we're all right.
Lunchbox
Who do you feel like that's not. Yours is the most. Right?
Scuba Steve
Probably Morgan.
Lunchbox
Pearl Jam.
Morgan
What are you all talking about? Get out of here.
Amy
I would say I don't even really. I maybe listen to you too. So I'd say you just. Because Bono. Look, he drives me nuts because he thinks he's so cool.
Lunchbox
He doesn't. He preaches at his shows.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Morgan
To haters.
Lunchbox
All right, let's go. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Bobby Bones
After some teasing and things happened on our part two of the podcast where we heard that Bobby was holding on to something because Amy was late for a show related situation. Well, Amy finally figured out what that thing was, and it all comes out during this moment.
Lunchbox
Number one, let's get to what we talked about on the show last week. We had a call about it yesterday. This was the voicemail we played. I was listening to the podcast today and you guys were talking about. Amy was late at some point and it wasn't when she got locked in her room.
Morgan
A caller called in a few months.
Lunchbox
Ago that said something about. It really drives her crazy when you guys start to say something, but you don't finish it. This was kind of one of those moments where we all now want to know. So just saying.
Amy
I hope we get to find out tomorrow.
Lunchbox
Love the show. Tomorrow is now today. And that was never meant to be a segment. And then it turns out Amy didn't know. And the whole thing was, nobody on this show has been late to anything in years. It's our culture. You respect everybody, so you get everywhere on time because everybody else got there on time. And I said, the only person that's ever been late in the last whatever amount of years is Amy. And she's like, I don't think I have. So Lunchbox knew immediately. I knew, obviously. What do you think it is?
Scuba Steve
Well, yeah. You knew you'd been holding onto it. Didn't.
Lunchbox
No, I've been holding. I didn't think about it a second time. I've already let it go.
Scuba Steve
You. That's not what you said. You said. It definitely took me a while to piece it all together. And I was like, oh, my gosh, yes, the Home Run Derby. And listeners probably would have seen that on the Live, because I think at one point you go, well, Amy's finally here.
Lunchbox
True.
Scuba Steve
But see, what threw me off is you're like, she had an excuse, and it wasn't even good. I never gave an excuse.
Lunchbox
I know the excuse, though, because my wife talked to you on the phone, and you were like, I just kept driving.
Scuba Steve
She gave an excuse, and it wasn't good because I never gave one. Yes, I was on the phone with your wife, and I got a little sidetracked because I saw that I was gonna be driving by her house.
Lunchbox
But you weren't driving by her house. That's not the way there.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, but on my map, I thought it was.
Lunchbox
No, but that's not an excuse.
Scuba Steve
And then I got excited to see if she could hear me honk from the road, and I go, honk, honk.
Morgan
What?
Lunchbox
And I was like, are you six?
Morgan
That's why you were late.
Amy
That's why you were late.
Lunchbox
If you wanted to drive, honk.
Scuba Steve
Ask her. And she was like, I didn't hear that. I'm like, you didn't hear that? That's crazy. So then.
Lunchbox
But that wasn't even the way to the field.
Scuba Steve
It was, though.
Lunchbox
No, it literally wasn't.
Scuba Steve
Then I looked at the map, and I'm like, oh, shoot. I was supposed to turn before your house, not after your house. But I was on your road, but I had to turn before, not after. But I got a little excited about figuring out if she could hear me honk again. So then I turn around and have to loop all the way back around and then turn Past your house the other way. So I got to drive by again and honk again.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Scuba Steve
She didn't hear that time either.
Lunchbox
I didn't know about the honking thing. That morning when I got back, she was like, how'd it go? I said, good, except Amy was late. She was. It's the first time anybody's been late for years. I said. I didn't say anything because. Whatever. And she was like. She was. I was talking to this morning. She was right on time. I was on the. I was like, she had your back because she was like. She was on time. I was talking to her. I didn't know you were trying to drive by our house and honk so she could hear you.
Amy
You just made it more mad.
Lunchbox
That's, like, not even a real thing.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, but I didn't think I was gonna be late still at that point. My mask map still. Listen, I. My map showed me I was going to be there on time. Then when I accidentally had to detour past your house twice.
Lunchbox
It wasn't accidental. You just didn't follow the map.
Scuba Steve
No, no. You have to. No. When? I can't multitask, okay? So I can't look at a map and talk on the phone and then get excited about whether or not she can hear me honk.
Lunchbox
So then why is that exciting, though? I don't know.
Scuba Steve
It's just like an experiment. And then I go, and then I miss the field again, and I end up in some church, and I call Scuba, and I'm like, I'm here. It says I'm here, but I don't see y' all. And he's like, keep driving around. Keep driving around. Then sure enough, there y' all are with a bunch of kids.
Morgan
There were no with the kids.
Lunchbox
There were no kids with us.
Amy
Don't try to paint us in a bad light.
Morgan
They were at the school next to the field.
Scuba Steve
But that's when I was like, how did I miss it?
Lunchbox
You were, like, 15 minutes late.
Scuba Steve
I wasn't 15 minutes late. We'd already started 100% was not 15 minutes. Like, there's no way. That would be impossible, because then that would mean I would have never been on time. All I did was detour slightly to Hong Kong, and I didn't even. That wasn't even on purpose. That's because I thought. I was like, oh, my gosh, I'm gonna be driving right by your house. That's crazy. And then I was like, oh, whoops. I was supposed to turn before your House.
Amy
Okay, but now that you know the excuse. Is this a good excuse? But don't.
Scuba Steve
Don't.
Lunchbox
It's not. It is not.
Scuba Steve
But don't increase the time. It was not 15 minutes.
Morgan
I mean, it wasn't two minutes.
Scuba Steve
It was, like, maybe six.
Amy
No. I don't know. It was already.
Lunchbox
We started a few minutes late to begin with, and then.
Scuba Steve
Well, I'll check my call log to see when I called Steve.
Bobby Bones
With Steve.
Scuba Steve
Because I called to say, I'm here, and I don't see y' all, but.
Lunchbox
That doesn't count when you got there.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, I understand that.
Lunchbox
I literally let it go. I'm not the one that's so far.
Scuba Steve
I know.
Lunchbox
This is me getting it in my state.
Amy
Beep, beep. Did you hear that? Honk?
Scuba Steve
It definitely wasn't intentional. It was just, like, a weird morning.
Lunchbox
When I feel the inside.
Morgan
And the fact that she went back to honk again.
Scuba Steve
I didn't go back. I had to, because I had to turn around.
Lunchbox
But what's the ultimate payoff? Like, let's just remove the late thing, because who cares? Who cares?
Scuba Steve
Who cares? We care. I don't like to be late.
Lunchbox
Like, I thought the late thing. What's the. What's the greatest possible scenario of her hearing you honk when you drive by? Well, like, what's the win there?
Scuba Steve
No, but she says you're missing the point. You're thinking, I drove by your house for that? I was.
Lunchbox
Because the mat didn't go there, but.
Scuba Steve
I. I thought it did. But the turn was before. But because I wasn't looking down at the mile before.
Lunchbox
Yeah, way before.
Morgan
Yeah, Amy.
Scuba Steve
Okay, well, I drive it every day. Okay. So when I was at the. I'm not gonna say roads, because I'm not trying to give away where you live, but when I was at a light, that's when I saw I'm gonna be driving by your house. So then I just never looked at the map again.
Lunchbox
Well, you're on the island. The last light. Person's always on the island, Amy.
Scuba Steve
Okay. Well, it was. Yeah.
Lunchbox
This is me letting it go.
Scuba Steve
I fully prepared, like, to be there on time. So that's why it was ridiculous that I was late. And then when I walked up, I was like, he might send me home. Like, he might. He really might. And then you didn't. And I was like, maybe he didn't know. You did know because you go, amy's finally here.
Amy
Well, why didn't you honk when you showed up so we could see if we could hear you.
Lunchbox
Hey, go. Go out now and honk in that parking garage. Except we hear you now.
Morgan
That'd be cool.
Bobby Bones
Stop.
Scuba Steve
You're. No, I just really think I. Who knew that, like bushes could block a honk? Because I feel like it's quite the experiment.
Lunchbox
Okay, so we're done, everybody. Good.
Morgan
Good.
Lunchbox
Okay. Thank you. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

We've all experienced being put on hold. The annoying music, the automated message. It's excruciating. And right now, America's seniors are on hold, waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection. Waiting for America to care. Due to a growing aging population, rising costs and insufficient funding, Meals on Wheels programs are experiencing higher need than ever before. This wait is especially ridiculous because a proven solution already exists as Meals on Wheels remains the most effective and financially responsible solution to address senior hunger and isolation. Answer the call and help end the wait by donating at mealsonwheelsamerica.org donate hey.

Bobby Bones initiates the challenge:
"[04:06] We bet five bucks on you, Amy."

This marks Amy achieving a significant milestone in the quiz, earning her the winnings and highlighting her surprising proficiency.

"[10:46] Bobby Bones: Good job, Amy."
[22:13 – 41:15]
In one of the most engaging segments, the hosts delve into the "Love or Hater" game, where participants reveal celebrities they unfairly dislike and attempt to find redeeming qualities about them.

Scuba Steve:
"For some reason, I'm not really a big fan of Ben Affleck, and I don't know why."
Initial Critique: A vague displeasure without specific reasons.
Morgan:
"Ariana Grande just seems plastic to me. There's a real Ariana Grande that we don't know."
Initial Critique: Ariana Grande presents a facade that feels superficial.
Bobby Bones:
"I'm a hater of James Corden."
Initial Critique: Dislike rooted in perceived disingenuousness.
Transformation Through Positive Insights:

Morgan:
