Eddie
This is the Bobby Mo Show.
Bobby
Well, we have a lunchbox in the studio in California, and he is not wearing his good luck hoodie. Look at him. He's now wearing a different hoodie. It's like a big collar. What is that? What are you wearing?
Lunchbox
Oh, it's just a pullover. Kansas Jayhawks pullover.
Eddie
Pull over.
Lunchbox
That's what it is.
Bobby
Got it. Got it.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Well, it's not a hoodie either. It doesn't have a hood.
Bobby
What do we want to do here, guys?
Eddie
What do you mean?
Bobby
We know. We know what we want.
Amy
Just cut to the chase.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
I mean, do we need the whole stories again? Every little detail?
Bobby
Well, I don't mind every little detail, but sometimes he filibusters with details. Like, I like a good story, but he'll start filibustering.
Amy
But being that he was changing his entire personality and said less, there's probably less to report.
Eddie
Oh, that's true.
Bobby
Also a good point. Okay, so. And we're live right now on YouTube, right? Yeah. Okay, lunchbox. So you left the show yesterday.
Lunchbox
Correct.
Eddie
There's not a lot to say.
Bobby
He's still in character. Okay.
Lunchbox
And I went back to the hotel, I took a shower, and I was like, all right, let's get glammed up, threw on the tux. Here we go. Valentine's Day episode. And I show up and frozen on you guys's screen.
Eddie
No, no, he's good.
Bobby
Okay. He's frozen to Amy and I. Yeah. Okay, so. But we're just gonna understand that he's actually moving.
Eddie
Still got him.
Lunchbox
I am moving. Yes.
Bobby
Okay. And no, no, I know you're moving. Is Amy and I the. The monitor or watching you on from that studio in California? It's. You're frozen.
Lunchbox
Sorry about that.
Bobby
It's okay. You didn't do it.
Eddie
Not your fault.
Bobby
He is a new person.
Eddie
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So I mean, I just want to take responsibility for if it was my fault.
Bobby
There you go. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
I turned over a new leaf yesterday. So I show up and there's couples everywhere. Guys. I mean, it is. Love is in the air. Everybody matching outfits and same thing. I walk up to the tent and they say, do you have a ticket? I show them. So I sit under this tent.
Bobby
Is everybody in a couple? I mean, everybody else but you?
Lunchbox
Everybody's in a couple.
Bobby
Did you see any other singles at all?
Lunchbox
None. Like, I saw couples, like, with a red shirts on the number 57. And it, like, said 57 years of marriage. One couple had a shirt. I don't Remember if the guy had the shirt that said someone, and then his wife said someone's problem, or if she was someone and then he was someone's problem. And then I had one. There was a couple that had hearts, big old hearts, and a picture of their wedding date, like their wedding photo on their shirt. Some people celebrating, you know, their 20th anniversary and their here at the Price is Right. So everybody had match matching outfits.
Bobby
Did you feel, though, that that maybe that was an advantage if you were the only person there by yourself, that could have made you stand out?
Lunchbox
I did. I did. And so they let me sit under that tent, and then they gave me a number, and I think I was number one. 27.
Bobby
Oh, that's high. That's a high number. You barely made it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, well, I mean, couples take up a lot more numbers because you got to come in twos. And so then I go and sit over there where I have to wait for the computers, and I fill out the computer information about, you know, my name, my social, blah, blah, blah. Then I get to.
Bobby
What was the social? What was the social you put down?
Lunchbox
8. 8. 8. 22 2.
Amy
Short.
Lunchbox
Nice try, folks. I am smart. I'm a new person.
Bobby
Okay, did you see any of the old producers that you knew from the day before?
Lunchbox
No. The guy at the tent checking in was a different dude.
Eddie
Good.
Bobby
And also, did you feel like an expert where you could tell people more about the process?
Lunchbox
Oh, they were. Everybody's, like, sitting there going, man, I wonder what we're gonna do next. I'm like, well, we're gonna sit over here for probably an hour. And people are talking to me. Oh, you know, where's your. And I'm like, oh, my wife couldn't be here today. My wife couldn't be here today. Just kind of casual, you know. Didn't really say that she was passed because this is just, you know, people in line. I wasn't starting conversations. If they asked me, I responded.
Bobby
But you just weren't going over the top like the day before, right?
Lunchbox
I wasn't going over the top.
Bobby
Some would say, look, you're going a little under the bottom because you're being so quiet under the bottom.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that might have been a. Yeah, that might be a problem.
Bobby
So you were a bottom?
Lunchbox
No, I wasn't a bottom.
Bobby
Okay.
Lunchbox
No, no, no.
Amy
He was mid.
Lunchbox
I wasn't like, on what?
Amy
You were mid. You were just, like, in the middle.
Bobby
No, I think he was.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I was just in the middle.
Bobby
He was the bottom. Yeah, go ahead.
Lunchbox
I don't know, I'm just trying to, like, blend in.
Bobby
That's all I'm trying to do. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Lunchbox
And so then, you know, we sit out there for, you know, the hour, hour and a half, whatever it was, feels like forever. No water. But now I'm not a rookie anymore. Had my water bottle, snacks. I didn't have any snacks. That's. That's one thing I still didn't have.
Bobby
Hey, forgot about that one. Only one thing at a time, man. Too much. Okay?
Lunchbox
You can only change so much in one day, Eddie. You know what I'm saying? And so then I get in the name tagline and get up there and name like, who you here with? And I'm like, oh, it's just me. Wife couldn't make it. And she goes, oh, hold on one second. She gets on her little microphone that's attached to her shirt. You know, the little clippy microphone. We got a single here. Not sure what to do.
Eddie
Is she a trucker or a cop?
Lunchbox
Well, it is. It's like the little thing. It was like familiar radio.
Bobby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Attached to her, a little collar.
Bobby
I would just bet you don't hear it, but okay, go ahead.
Lunchbox
Well, I'm trying to tell you what she did.
Bobby
Yeah, that's what she did. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Lunchbox
And they come back and say. Say that again. There's only. And she's like, I just have a single, no partner with them, number 127. And they come back and be like, unfortunately, we're not going to be able to let him pass because it has to be couples. So the Valentine's episode won't be able to. He can't attend that.
Eddie
Oh, this is it. This is it. This is where you lay it on him, dude.
Lunchbox
Yes. And I'm like, oh, man. And she comes off the microphone, she goes, I'm sorry that we're not gonna be able to let you in because Valentine's is a couples only episode and you are by yourself. And I said, yeah, my wife wasn't able to make it. And like, yeah, but you know, I'm sorry about that. She couldn't make it. And what you can do is, you know, we are taping a regular show later on if you wanna go get in line for that. Oh, okay. You're welcome to do that, but unfortunately, you're not going to be on the Valentine's episode.
Bobby
Okay, great. Then you went and waited in line for the other show.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but the only problem with that is I didn't have a priority Ticket. I had to go wait in the.
Bobby
Okay. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Oh, no, no, I get it. I had to wait in the extras line or whatever. The unprepared line. The line that didn't plan ahead. That is just hoping that people with priority tickets don't show up.
Bobby
Yeah, that's okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So there was like. There was like 100 people in that line.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby
Yeah. So, okay. Sometimes you got to go. Go extra miles. Sometimes you got to sacrifice time and effort.
Amy
Okay. He carves out time to finally go and has three days to go. And one of the days happens to be a couple. Like one of the only. Like, this is probably the only time they do a couple's episode.
Bobby
Well, it was also on the website that there was.
Amy
I know, but like, he had already chosen the week.
Eddie
But.
Bobby
But it was on the website. He could have there. He could have gone to a later episode that day.
Amy
Okay, okay, okay.
Bobby
Like he chose without doing research.
Amy
This is before he changed the Valentine's episode.
Eddie
Before new lunch was before new.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
Knew him.
Lunchbox
I'm telling you, the Valentine's episode, I swear it was not labeled Valentine's episode when I got that ticket. There's no way.
Bobby
Okay. I'd like to say.
Lunchbox
So can I. I'm so detail oriented. You're not.
Bobby
You're not. And I'd like to push back on that a little bit. You didn't get your tickets because you bought the wrong tickets at first. He got the wrong tickets. So it's not like he did this six months ago. Oh, he got these tickets like three weeks ago. And you're telling me every other person in that crowd coming from all over the country, what came in pairs, made their shirts, their travel arrangements, their hotel, their.
Amy
Good point. In like a matter of days.
Bobby
Yes.
Amy
No, no.
Bobby
So I'm not.
Amy
That is not somebody in. Somebody's problem. They had that planned out way in advance.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby
So he could have scheduled that day a later episode.
Amy
Okay, gotcha. All right.
Eddie
Because.
Bobby
Because all those hundreds of people didn't last minute do all that to get there. Anyway, I'm still convinced somehow you got on today. All right, go ahead.
Lunchbox
Yeah, so I was in this line of the reserves, the whatever, the non priority ticket. Just. I had a. They. Everybody in that line had a, what it was called a line voucher. So you could get in line, but you didn't have priority is what their ticket said. And I was like, all right, cool, man, I'll just hang out here. You did hung out there for like two hours it feels like. So I'm already, you know, four hours into the day and they start, you know, doing the priority people. They go in and then they took like 35 people from the line voucher line and said, ah, sorry guys, we got no more room, so you can always come back tomorrow. And they sent me on my way.
Eddie
What?
Amy
But that's it.
Bobby
You didn't even get in on day two?
Lunchbox
No, no, I didn't even get in. I didn't even get in the, like that room. I told you that had the water and the pretzels and the granola bars.
Eddie
And the old episode.
Lunchbox
Didn't even get in there.
Bobby
How much of this, though? Because this is the new you. The more laid back you, the more understanding and honest you, right?
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm more laid back and understanding.
Bobby
The more self aware, the more if you mess up, you say it. This is you. How much of this is your fault?
Lunchbox
Probably about, like. What do you mean?
Eddie
Hold on.
Lunchbox
The not getting in or the like not getting picked?
Bobby
Well, not even having a chance to get picked? Like, how much is this your fault? How much of this is your fault that you go and you show up and you can't even get in because you didn't read the rules?
Lunchbox
I was probably like 75% me.
Bobby
Okay, that new you, that's a high. That's a high number. It's good old him.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby
Zero percent chance. Not. Not as they screwed him.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, 25%. I feel like they put that up there late. I don't know, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe. Maybe I. Maybe I didn't read it right. Maybe I didn't. But I mean, there, you got to leave that 25% chance that they did actually just put that up.
Bobby
My only argument to that, which I made was every other couple of all ages from all over the country not only showed up in couples, but had time to make matching shirts with themes. That's not something that happens with every other person in the audience in two weeks.
Eddie
I don't.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I mean, there was one couple, they were like in all pink, like, I don't know, she had like a pink mini skirt on. And I mean, they were. They had like bling, like silver sparkles and he had like a pink jacket. I mean, I was like, all right, that's good.
Amy
Just part of you wish you would have found a lover. Yeah, like a.
Lunchbox
Like a. Yeah, yeah, of course I could have. I would have liked that. You know what I mean? That would have Been great. Because then I wouldn't have been denied.
Amy
Did you try?
Lunchbox
No, Amy, I. I mean, I went to. On every bridge in la. You wake up.
Bobby
Yeah, he's lying.
Lunchbox
Exactly.
Bobby
Like, don't lie. Be all.
Lunchbox
Don't be old guys. Guys. Because you're guys.
Amy
That's your cousin's husband or something.
Eddie
The Columbia.
Lunchbox
He has a job. He has a job. He has a job.
Bobby
What about, like, your wife? You couldn't convince her last minute to go with you?
Lunchbox
And then I would have had to go get her. And then I would have to go get her a nice dress. And like, it was just, like, it was too much. Didn't want to do it.
Eddie
And then you gave up on the dead wife. Like, I feel like that's.
Lunchbox
No, no, I didn't. Eddie. They said, I'm a single, I can't come. They didn't give. They didn't give a crap about anything.
Bobby
They didn't try it.
Eddie
And try, though, when they were like. That's when you could have been like, you got to understand, like, I would have my wife here with.
Bobby
She would plan to come with me. She. The. Our plans were to be here together, but she. She tragically passed away.
Eddie
You just quit, dude.
Lunchbox
Yeah, no, I said my wife was not able to make it today, but.
Eddie
That just means, like, she has a jail.
Lunchbox
I said she's not here with us today.
Bobby
She woke up with a tickle in her throat. That's what I hear.
Lunchbox
And I'm gonna tell you what, it is exhausting. This is like being on for all these hours while you're waiting in line and hoping, like, having this, like, you know, you have to be emotionally like, oh, my gosh, this is it. This is it. And they're watching me. And they're watching me. It is so tiring. Like, you get back to the hotel and it is just like, I'm so tired. And I had no. No margaritas last night, guys. I'm telling you, I had spaghetti. And I was in bed by 6:30. I felt like. I felt like it was 6:30.
Bobby
I think what you're explaining is what normal people feel with their real jobs. You go and you spend eight hours, you're focused, you're working, you come home, you have some spaghetti, you go to bed.
Lunchbox
I mean, I was. I mean, dialed in. You know what I mean? Like, you have to be on. On the whole time.
Bobby
You said you weren't on, though.
Eddie
Maybe that was being on for him.
Lunchbox
No, no, no.
Bobby
I mean, it was harder to be off.
Lunchbox
What I'm Saying is, I have to be like, if someone talks to me, you talk to them. You have to. You sit there with a smile on your face. You can't just sit there and, like, take a nap and close your eyes. You have to kind of just be like, smile on your face and just, oh, man. I don't know. It's tough. It's tough. And the couples, let me tell you, they were a lot of fun. They were all energetic, and, you know, they were laughing and joking, and I was just like, oh, yeah, you guys are good. Good outfits.
Bobby
Like, how you feeling going into day three?
Lunchbox
Can I. How do I describe this? Like, on one, I am like, okay, this is just, you know, you get knocked down, but you get up again. Can't ever keep me down. I think about that all the time. But then also, it's like, demoralizing. Like, is this really, like, did I really come all this way? And I was so confident they were going to see me, and it was just, like, going to be boom. So maybe they were testing me. Maybe they were just testing me and saying, you know, what if this dude comes back for a third day? No doubt we're putting them on. And maybe they do that with a lot of people. That's what I have to hope.
Eddie
I mean, this is the Hollywood story you hear about.
Lunchbox
That's right. Underdog story.
Bobby
But how do you feel like you will get on today?
Amy
He has to.
Bobby
But I want to know, like, his feeling. He's had two days of rejection. Like, has that affected your confidence?
Lunchbox
A little bit. The new me will be honest. A little bit.
Bobby
Yeah. We like new you.
Lunchbox
We need a little bit.
Bobby
We need to get old him really tired when he comes into the show every morning. Because I kind of like the new him.
Eddie
Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah.
Bobby
The guy who just says the truth.
Eddie
We can actually talk to him.
Bobby
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
I mean, because I. I don't know if it's going to change. Like, what about me is going to change? Do what? When they say, like, when I get in today and they talk to me like, do I. My question, is the tux too much? Do I get rid of the tux now?
Amy
No.
Lunchbox
Like, is it tux?
Amy
No. Isn't that how they're going to totally recognize him? Or.
Eddie
No, they call them tux.
Lunchbox
But is that a bad thing? If they recognize me because of tux? They're like, that is one dirty tux. He's worn it three days in a row.
Eddie
Spaghetti on it now.
Bobby
It's like pig pen. He has like, the fumes over him, the dirt and the dust.
Amy
I don't know.
Lunchbox
Like, I can't decide if the tux now is too much or if it's like, oh, they'll think it's funny that I wore the third day in a row. I. I don't know how TV people think, you know? Like, I mean, I've been in the industry for a while, but.
Bobby
What industry have you been in?
Lunchbox
Oh, tv, man.
Bobby
Anytime you say man after something, we know you're lying. So me and you, dude.
Eddie
Who.
Bobby
Who's who, huh?
Lunchbox
You and me are what? Been in the TV industry for a while.
Eddie
Is he delusional?
Bobby
What's happening right now?
Eddie
New him is delusional.
Bobby
Are you broke? Are you broken in your head?
Lunchbox
No, no, no. I mean, you've had more experience, but we've both been in the industry.
Eddie
He was on Friday Night Lights.
Bobby
Yeah, he was an extra. Yeah, but that's okay. I'm not even saying that that doesn't count. I just don't know how I get lumped into this with him.
Eddie
You and him? Yes.
Amy
Like, he's saying by proxy.
Eddie
Huh?
Amy
Like, because you're in. You've been in a lot of tv, and he has been near you, and he knows you. Right?
Bobby
He's Kevin Bacon to me. Hey. Okay, so what does your gut say about today?
Lunchbox
My gut? I don't know. Maybe my gut says no tux. Maybe they don't want that. Maybe that's too over the top. Like you guys said the other day. Like, don't be too over the top. Just, you know, you may scare producers and maybe that, like, is the tux, like, showing up Drew Carey? Like, is it, like, you're wearing something nicer than he's wearing? You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Like, he. Because I don't know if his is a tux. You know what I mean? I think his was, like, a suit. Yeah. Like, it was a nice suit. So he's a tux too much? Is that the saying? Like, oh, man, I don't know.
Eddie
Like, we really don't know if the tux is a problem, because day two was a. It was just like, a push.
Bobby
Yeah. You. You got one plate appearance, and now you're thinking about changing your batting stance up.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I mean, well, listen, I. I thought. Listen, I thought this was going to be so easy. I thought it was going to be so easy. Like, I. I thought this was so easy.
Bobby
Like, really, you know, not. Not being a character, not being, like, I'm Crazy lunchbox. You thought it was going to be so easy.
Lunchbox
Yes, I really did. I remember he was going 100% around.
Bobby
I know. I don't know if that's, like, when he, like, turns it up. Yeah, go ahead.
Lunchbox
No, no, I really thought, like, all these people calling you, like, oh, we didn't get on. Get. I'm like, yeah, because you guys are just like, you're not interesting. And it's going to be so easy. Like, it's so, like, this can't be hard to get on a game show. Like, it really can't be hard. I'm finding out the opposite. I really am. So that's what I'm saying. Like, I started. Like, maybe I am all wrong. Maybe it is really hard. And these people that called in, maybe they are interesting. Maybe they are. They have a good personality. And.
Amy
And you don't. And maybe you don't.
Bobby
I would say.
Lunchbox
No, no. I'm saying that just because you have a good personality, maybe they don't pick you. Maybe these people that called in said they went three times and never got picked, maybe I was judging them for being, you know, just kind of boring middle America people, but maybe they were fun and they. They just didn't have it.
Bobby
Where did middle America come from in that?
Lunchbox
Because I think some people from. I think someone from Iowa called or something.
Bobby
We are. We live in middle America, too. I know.
Lunchbox
I'm just. It's just a. It's just a phrase, guys.
Eddie
It's an expression.
Bobby
But you. You, like, called them out, but you're one of them. He's like, yeah, they're just random, boring middle Americans. And we're. Yeah, I mean, but we.
Lunchbox
I mean, we are at least celebrities. They are not celebrities.
Bobby
I thought, is there a chance that you're so much of a celebrity? Like, would they let Leo DiCaprio, if he showed up, get on the show?
Lunchbox
That's a great question. I don't know.
Amy
I mean, this has flipped his whole world upside down.
Bobby
He can't believe he has been there for two days. He's exhausted, and he has not been on the show yet.
Lunchbox
I really can't. I mean, I really cannot. I can't. Isn't it weird when they tell you, oh, yesterday when they tell you, oh, it's all full. You want to know what a gut punch that is that you just spent, like, four and a half hours out there? Like, first with the Valentine's Day people and then with these random people that didn't. And it's just like. So I Just waited here for four and a half hours. And I don't even get to go in and get a water in a granola bar. I don't get to get a name tag.
Bobby
And you put.
Lunchbox
I just turn around and go. I just turn around and go home. And you just see us all sulking off the lot. It's like, oh, walk of shame.
Bobby
Walk of shame.
Lunchbox
Oh, dude, it was walk of shame for sure.
Eddie
Lunchbox. You feel like you're big fish in the little pond or little fish in.
Bobby
A massive pond or that.
Eddie
Because, I mean, you explain.
Bobby
Oh, you mean game show or la? Cause I can see what you're saying.
Eddie
You always say, like, did, you're super famous and all this, but now you're in la, dude, you're in Hollywood. And then you would think the producers would be like, oh, my gosh, he's here, let's get him on. But that's not the case.
Lunchbox
Yeah, so I'm.
Bobby
Yeah, like these tiny fish and massive ocean.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's pretty. And I. Yeah, yeah. Because, I mean, they see people every day. That's what's crazy. They see people every day and I mean, I don't know.
Eddie
He sounds.
Lunchbox
Maybe they're just waiting for the day. Maybe they wanted to end the week on a high note. That's what they. They were waiting for.
Bobby
So what is your plan today? And we'll, you know, stop talking about this in a second, but what is your plan?
Lunchbox
You. You tell me. Do I go tucks or no tucks?
Bobby
What again? What do you think you should do? Because I don't think there's a right answer, but I think you should do whatever makes you feel most confident. I also think that if you're going to change your mind, that's okay. But if you change your mind from going once and getting a no, I think that's changing your mind for the wrong reason. Again, my sports analogy would be you get up and you strike out in your first plate appearance. So you're like, screw it, I'm going to bat from the other side or I'm going to change my stance up. You don't have a big enough body of work to know if that exactly is the reason that you didn't get on base that first time.
Lunchbox
Okay, then I'm sticking. Tux. I paid $220 for the tux. I'm sticking with it.
Bobby
I would agree with that.
Eddie
Yeah. Because day two doesn't matter, man. Like, day two didn't happen.
Bobby
Day two, you got walked. So it wasn't even an official plate appearance.
Lunchbox
Okay. Oh, yeah, you're right. I just got walked. I got walked right off the lot.
Eddie
Yep, that's sorted up.
Bobby
You got. Well, you got told to walk away. Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, man.
Bobby
So you have to be there.
Lunchbox
Oh, man. And now I'm like, do I get there early or does it even matter? Should I just get there 30 minutes before they do the start? Check in where you start going in, I mean, because people with high numbers, the first day that I got to watch, they got up on stage. So they weren't there in the 30s. They were there in the one, you know, 40s. Like, it's like, does it matter? Or are they like the people that get there early, like, oh, they have no life. So they. We'll just pick the people that actually have jobs or something and show up right on top. I don't know. This is all like. This is what I'm saying. Like, I thought I had the perfect formula.
Bobby
He's cracking. I don't know.
Eddie
What if his angle today is I don't even want to be on the show? You just show that you're just like, dude, I've been here for three days. You all haven't picked me. I don't even want to be on the show. And they're like, I like this guy. Or they like, you know what? We're going to surprise him. We're actually going to put him on the show.
Bobby
You know what, Eddie? I don't like it.
Eddie
Oh, you don't like it?
Bobby
I don't like it. I'm not saying it's wrong, but I don't like it. They want. I. I think you just do exactly what you did day one. It's better. I said this from the very beginning. It's better to fail being yourself because then you don't have to wonder if you should have been yourself.
Lunchbox
That's true.
Bobby
The worst is fail. Yeah. Before any of this happened, the worst just generally in life is failing when you weren't being your truest self. Because you always then think, maybe I would have made it if I just would have been myself. And that's the worst. It's the absolute worst. And you knew the odds. Nine people get up a show at a 300. It. It's hard. And they're looking for certain types of people. They're not just ranking who would be the best on the show. They probably got to find a certain amount of men, certain amount of women, certain amount of white people, certain amount of black people, certain amount of. Who knows, Hispanic People, they probably. I gotta find different jobs, they gotta find a military person. They gotta find all this. So I don't think you can hold that against you. I think what you can do is just show up and be the best version of you.
Lunchbox
Yeah, because, like, when you say that. When I think back to the. Like the first one, the first day, they may have called two dudes. If I'm. If I'm going through the calculations in my. Two dudes total, so seven chicks.
Bobby
Well, then I think there's a transition needed.
Eddie
So you want to go as a chick?
Lunchbox
No. Maybe they reversed that today and they go, seven dudes, two chicks.
Eddie
I was wondering where he's going with that.
Bobby
Sounds like a weird video, but okay.
Eddie
Ms. Doubtfire.
Bobby
Hey, I saw a video. I don't know if you saw it. Lunchbox of. I think it was 1982. This woman goes on and she gets on prices, right? And she makes it all the way. And then she doesn't win a car, but she's pregnant. And then some. Some years later, recently, the baby she was pregnant with went up and actually won a car.
Eddie
No way.
Bobby
Yeah. Thought yesterday, like the. It showed the mom in 82 getting up and Bob Barker, it's like, oh, she does. Well, she gets up, does not win the car. And then it cuts to. It was like a CBS this Morning. No, whatever the news network is that would do it. And it's like. And now, 32 years later, that baby that she was pregnant with, or however you say it, and it shows her going, $222. Ding, ding, ding, up on the stage. And then she wins the car.
Eddie
That is amazing.
Lunchbox
That's really cool.
Bobby
Maybe say you're pregnant.
Lunchbox
I haven't seen that.
Bobby
Say you're pregnant.
Lunchbox
I don't know if they'd believe me.
Bobby
Who cares, dude?
Lunchbox
No, I care, because this is my last shot, dude. Like, I. Unless I gotta stay another week. I mean. But I don't want to do that. That's tiring.
Bobby
Would you want to do that, man?
Lunchbox
I would. Listen, here's the deal. I would almost stay every day until I made it.
Bobby
The rest of your life. But you just live there.
Lunchbox
I would go every single day, every day, and eventually they'd have to break down and give me a shot, right?
Eddie
Not really.
Lunchbox
If I went 52 days in a row, they would have. I mean, I would.
Bobby
Why did you pick the number 52? Because that's the number of weeks there are in a year.
Lunchbox
No, it's just the first number.
Eddie
I think he thought that Far. Like, he just said a random number.
Bobby
Well, I didn't, because there's 365 days, and then you got to cut out weekends. And they don't tape every day all the time because they take multiple episodes a day. I didn't know why. If he knew something or just pick 52.
Lunchbox
No, it's just a number that popped in my head. I have no idea.
Bobby
Got it. Got it.
Lunchbox
Like, it's 52.
Eddie
That'd be a good documentary, though. Me trying to get on prices. Right. Like, and he documents every day till he finally makes it.
Bobby
Yeah, you just don't get to record much.
Eddie
It's the same thing every day.
Bobby
Well, it's just a hotel and walking to a certain point until they take your phone margaritas. And obviously you can't record with real cameras. Once you get to the line, it's all cell phone footage unless you have, like. Yeah, Anyway, I'm not.
Eddie
Too many. Too many, like, technicalities.
Bobby
All right, buddy. Sorry about that. You didn't get rejected yesterday, though. I think that's the one. You did not get rejected.
Lunchbox
That's true. It was the same name tag lady those the day before, if that matters to the story.
Bobby
Did you keep both name tags?
Lunchbox
I didn't get a name tag the second day.
Bobby
Did you keep name tag day one?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I kept it.
Bobby
That's cool.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they let you keep it.
Bobby
That's cool.
Eddie
Does it look like a price tag?
Lunchbox
Yeah, it looks like a price tag. And it's very well written. I mean, I don't know how.
Bobby
You told us she had great handwriting. Remember that, guys?
Lunchbox
Yeah, but every name, she does it perfect. Like, if it's a four letters, she fits it, like, perfect. You know what I mean? If it's eight letters, perfect. Without a ruler. She just knows what size each name needs to be. What a talent practice.
Bobby
Yeah, I bet you could do that if you did.
Lunchbox
My question is, what do you think? And this is really a dumb question, but how much does that name tag lady get paid?
Bobby
I'm sure she's very important. She's a production assistant who just has good handwriting.
Eddie
Oh, they didn't hire her for that?
Bobby
No, I don't think she's, like, majored in calligraphy and her dream was to go write. They just found somebody that could write pretty well that was already on the staff. There's probably a production assistant.
Lunchbox
Oh, okay.
Bobby
That'd be my guess.
Lunchbox
That makes sense.
Bobby
All right, well, we can move off that.
Amy
But you should ask her, though, if you see her today.
Eddie
Did you get her. Her name.
Lunchbox
I think her name was Emily.
Eddie
Told you. People like it when. When you know their names.
Lunchbox
And then the girl that, like, after you got your name tags on that checked my id. Like, she puts it in the thing and then takes my picture. She was from Ohio, I think either she went to Dayton or her brother went to Dayton. I don't know which one, but I know that that was a conversation and.
Eddie
All right.
Lunchbox
Middle America.
Bobby
Middle America. All right, let's go around the room, guys. We got our. So we won't even know really from him until Monday, right?
Eddie
Huh?
Lunchbox
I mean, I could just throw it on Insta if you need me to. Yeah, but that. That'd be a. That'd be a waste. It was a joke. I'm not really gonna do that.
Eddie
Hey, funny joke, man. It's a funny one.
Bobby
Okay, let's go around the room. Amy, you're up.
Amy
A Florida teen is accused of shooting himself in the leg while faking his own kidnapping. I don't know exactly why he wanted to be kidnapped.
Bobby
Attention, probably.
Amy
Yeah. He's 17. He googled things like. Or talked to chat GPT about Mexican cartels and collecting his blood without causing pain.
Eddie
Why? Why do they always pick Mexicans to kidnap if you're going to make up a kidnapping story?
Bobby
Like, I would say this is like.
Eddie
The third time I've heard that.
Bobby
But I would say. I think the answer would be, where does he live?
Amy
Florida.
Bobby
Okay. I think the answer is because, I mean, there's a heavy. Hispanic. Cuban. Yeah.
Eddie
Cuban, Dominican, Haitian.
Bobby
Yeah. Yeah. So there are probably different drug organizations and also the glorifying of it through documentaries. There's a lot of those shows. Documentaries, news. Listen, El Chapo is basically a celebrity, not for good reasons.
Eddie
Yeah, he's famous.
Bobby
So I would say it is something that you see a lot about. So you probably go, well, if I want this result, and I've heard about this, let me google to see if I can make this happen. Was he wanting money? Like faking hostage for money or just attention?
Amy
Well, his lawyer said that he's been bonded out of jail and they did not give an immediate return for a comment. But according to his arrest affidavit, he texted his parents and younger brother in a group chat. I. But I don't know if eventually he was going to maybe ask for money or something.
Bobby
Sounds like attention.
Amy
Okay. Or just attention.
Bobby
But then probably didn't get on prices. Right.
Eddie
That's gotta be.
Amy
Then he shot himself in the leg.
Eddie
That's dedication.
Bobby
He's committed it's like wearing a tuxedo three days in a row, you know?

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells and they called these ostracon to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracized is related to the word oyster.
Bobby
No way.

Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Bobby
All right, let's go, lunchbox. What do you have?
Lunchbox
Yeah, a mother in law. Worst mother in law ever. Or mother, whichever one she is. There was an influencers. Was Having a gender reveal. And the mom was supposed to set everything up. Like they were gonna shoot these little cannons and the smoke was gonna come out, and so the husband and wife do it, and blue and pink come out and they're like, what is going on? We're having. We're only having one kid. And the mom's like, oh, look at me, look over here. And she was holding pink balloons to let them know they were having a girl.
Bobby
Yeah, I saw that she was taking all the. She was. She wanted the attention. Yeah, But I think that's a better way to do it than fake that.
Eddie
You'Re getting cartelled and shooting yourself in the foot.
Bobby
Yeah. Having to prove it. Then at that point, you know, let's go, Morgan.
Amy
Okay, so there's some influencers being bashed over doing this. They've been taking these carved pumpkins that they did to Starbucks and having them fill up a carved pumpkin with their drink of choice.
Bobby
Can you do that? Is it allowed at Starbucks?
Amy
There's some places that have, like, some Starbucks people. The baristas were super excited and were.
Bobby
Like, of course we'll do this. And others are like, I'm not doing that.
Eddie
Like a big pumpkin, because I'm surprised.
Amy
Like a mini ones.
Eddie
Oh, the little one.
Amy
But no, you just carve out the top. Oh, you just cut open the top and.
Bobby
But is it like a fountain drink machine where if you buy one, then you get as many as you want? Like, why would Starbucks do that unless you've already bought one? They have a refill policy at Starbucks at all.
Amy
Or you can get.
Bobby
Can't you buy like a. Well, maybe not even free. But can't you buy like a hard bottle or cup at Starbucks?
Eddie
A real cup?
Amy
Yes.
Bobby
And then take it back and refill it.
Amy
Refillable cupcakes, like, for free? Yeah, they have like a thing where if you have that, you get a discounted price.
Bobby
Yes, but they do refill something that already existed, is my point. Like, do they find that the pumpkin meets that criteria? Yeah, I've seen a couple of those. They're. They're really stupid.
Amy
Would you guys do it?
Bobby
Would you guys take a carved pumpkin.
Amy
And have a barista fill it up?
Eddie
I would not. No, probably not.
Bobby
I would not. Cuz they're not drinking it. They're just doing it for social media cloud. Right?
Amy
Yeah. I don't really get it. Yeah, I guess it's kind of cute if it's little Eddie.
Eddie
Okay. 68 years ago this week, leave it to Bieber broke, like, just Boundaries on television by showing one thing that they'd never shown on television before.
Bobby
Let me see. Let me see.
Amy
Oh, I have a guess.
Bobby
Let me see. Let me see.
Eddie
I'm sure that you guys will never get it because it's so weird.
Bobby
So it's not going to be the bed.
Eddie
Not the bed.
Bobby
Dang.
Eddie
You might get it.
Amy
I think I know it.
Eddie
Really?
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Go.
Amy
I think it's a toilet.
Eddie
It's the bathroom.
Bobby
Oh, wow. Yeah. How'd you know that?
Amy
I don't know.
Bobby
You walk in and mom's taking a dump.
Amy
No, but black and white.
Eddie
I feel like it wasn't that they weren't using the bathroom. It was like an episode about they were trying to hide a baby alligator and so they use the toilet tank to hide it. But that was the first time they'd ever, ever shown a bathroom.
Bobby
How'd you get that?
Amy
I think I've heard it before, but I guess I don't think I would have known it was like if you said, what show was the first one to ever show a toilet? I don't think I would have been able to say leave it to beaver. But hearing it the way Eddie said it, I remember at some point hearing that it was a toilet.
Bobby
Good job.
Eddie
Hey. 68 years ago this week.
Bobby
Hey. Six eight.
Eddie
Six, eight, six eight.
Amy
Oh, I saw a teacher was dressing up or plan to dress up as 6, 7 for Halloween.
Bobby
Yeah, it's one of the most popular costumes this year.
Eddie
How do you do it?
Bobby
Just a number of kids wears. One wears six, one wears seven.
Amy
Oh, no. The teacher had, like a thermometer and like a ice pack on his head and a bandage wrapped around. Cause he's sick. And then he has on a shirt that says seven. And so he goes sick. Seven.
Eddie
Six, seven.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Interesting.
Amy
I mean, that was the teacher's way of doing it, which I thought was kind of funny.
Bobby
But yeah, that's gonna end soon.
Eddie
How soon do you think? I mean, because, like, 69 lasted forever, dude.
Bobby
Different, though. 67 comes from a basketball. Like a hype video. And it's like a swat.
Eddie
An edit.
Bobby
Yeah. 69 is a sexual position. And that's where that comes from. That can always exist. Yes.
Eddie
Huh.
Bobby
And that made it big in movies. 69. It was a much bigger part of pop culture. Now 67 might be, but it feels so stupid. I don't think it lasts more than another three, four, or five months.
Eddie
People love it, man. Like that video from. I know it's older, but like, from in and out burger order 67. And it was like.
Bobby
Oh, yeah, yeah. Like all the people inside waiting for it. Did you see last night, the tight end for the Steelers, Ed Cow touchdown pass? And he did the 6, 7 with his hands.
Eddie
Saw that. My kids love it, man.
Amy
Yeah, same.
Bobby
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I got a couple things here. Let's see. Raymond, to a listener, hit me up about the Opry with something that's pretty interesting. What? What's up, Ray? So do you remember this? Yeah. With online, however many people they show some. So say you click on the Opry's website and you see that there's going to be people performing. Sometimes it just shows four, and then other nights it'll say eight people are going to be there. And so this person was just wondering, hey, I saw Garth Brooks just showed up and did a surprise performance. So how do you know if somebody's going to show up and do something like that? Well, usually Garth doesn't do performances that have been listed on the website. He mostly shows up, either does a surprise, induct somebody or invite somebody. Because you get invited to the Opry, you get inducted in the Opry, or Garth just shows up because he's a member. Rarely will you see Garth Brooks is playing that night unless it's something very special, like Opry goes Pink or opry's, you know, 45th anniversary. So. But they do, for the most part, keep up to date on who's playing that night. At times, there's only a few up there because they don't have it fully booked yet. Right. They have to book that show three nights a week, and they've got to book that show with like, 10 people. And so they have different acts that play most of the nights. It could be like, you know, these certain dancers, these certain players that are very traditional Opry, but, like, I'll play it like six or seven times a year, and it'll usually I'll know about a month out and they'll put it up. And I think Eddie and I are playing in November, and I think it's probably already up there. I don't even know the date we're playing, but it's probably already up there. But mostly it's just you don't know until they know, and sometimes they don't know until late. But the best shows to go to, if you want to go to an Opry, are a weeknight show, because the bigger artists can play on weeknights because obviously the bigger artists are on tour on Friday and Saturday night. Now, there are still some good Friday and Saturday night shows for sure. But, like, if you wanted to go to, like, consistently a better one, it's the nights that the artists are in town, which is, you know, a Tuesday, you know, any weeknight. Does that answer your question at all? Yeah, that was good. But, like, for instance, Garth, he did a Friday. Yeah, but again, you're never gonna know. And Garth also isn't touring right now, so that. That would be another reason that Garth could do it on a Friday. He's currently not doing a tour, so who knows what he's doing on the weekends. Yeah, Garth just shows up. Because Garth can just show up. But for the most part, it's not like, you know, Sabrina Carpenter at ACL when she brought out the Dixie Chicks, and you're very like, oh, my God. Or he just shows up and you don't even know there's going to be a surprise. And so I was also thinking next level. So could you, if you had a lot of time on your hands, look and see all the people that are Opry members and see how many times they've played the Opry, and if it's getting close to the end of the year, see if these certain people still haven't played their quota that they have to meet? So then they would be guaranteed to play the Opry at some point. That's a great question. I don't think everybody always meets their quota, to be honest with you.
Eddie
What is the quota?
Bobby
It just depends. It's changed over the years because some people, like Blake Shelton doesn't live here, but he's an Opry member, so he can't actually make all of his shows. Like, it could be like 15 times a year. Mike, tell me what the Internet says. Internet says 10 shows per year. And, like, Blake can't do 10 shows a year because he doesn't live here. So he'll do stuff for the Opry in other ways. Coming in, video recording things. He's got those bars that he's. Blake's bars are actually the Opry owned bars that they kind of lease his name. So he, you know. But no, I don't. That'd be a tough one. Carrie knocks hers out and, like, spurts. She'll do two shows a night because some of the times at the Opry, they'll do double shows. They'll start, do one at like, six and do one at, like, 8:30. And Carrie will just park her bus out and do the first show, stay in her bus and go out and do the second show, and then she does Those appearances. She also does her fan club thing at the Opry, too. So that's a fun idea. Like, to see who hasn't played their quota and then. But they're not going to be surprises. Like, Dustin lynch isn't going to be a big surprise. He's an Opry member. But if he just shows up. Oh, that's cool. But there's also other cool, so. No, no, I wouldn't say that's a thing. All right. That's all Good question, though. Also, I'm not the Opry expert. I mean, I played it a bunch, but. And I did host a TV show for a long time. And I did watch it growing up my whole life. And maybe I am an Oxford.
Eddie
It sounds like it.
Bobby
All right. Can I hear Stevenson's beats? Do you have them?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
So what is this?
Amy
So he started taking a beat making class.
Bobby
Where there's beat at school?
Amy
No. Oh, it's like a.
Eddie
That'd be cool.
Amy
I know. That would be. Right? No, he had to go to, like, this beat making place.
Bobby
Really?
Amy
Like, they hold camps for kids.
Eddie
You got to send me that info. Like, we're done.
Bobby
Because Eddie was going to show up. He's like, Kramer taking karate. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Amy
So, Ray, do you have. There's two.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby
Yeah. So this is the first one, and then the next one. When you ever want. You want that one. That one will get more complex, but this is the first one.
Eddie
Okay, good.
Bobby
Does he play piano at all?
Amy
No.
Eddie
Is he musical at all?
Amy
He. I signed him up for it because he really, like, he always can find the beat of, like, everything. He's just. He recognizes beats and songs, like, right away. He's always listening to music, and it's just something like, he can start to be like, hey. Like, he. He doesn't necessarily rap or freestyle or flow, but you can tell he has. He hears things I don't hear.
Bobby
Learning how to play piano is almost essential for a producer, a beat maker, because you can make the beats, but also. But it's like, you hear the keys coming on that. It's like inserting that over the top of it. That's super cool. He enjoys that. Who? You know, somebody who's oddly good at freestyling. Ray, would you hit that again? That'd be his lunchbox. All right, take it away, Obi.
Lunchbox
What do you want me to freestyle beat?
Bobby
No, freestyle.

I think if you had a chorus, you really bounce back. You bounce back quicker, even more, like, effective. Why don't you rap this time? Same beat.
Lunchbox
I don't know what a chorus.
Bobby
And you're gonna do the hook? Yeah, I'll just make up a song part of it, and then when I finish singing, when I finish singing it. Okay. It'd be like this. Just gonna sit here to watch you be. And it's okay. Cause I love the way. You love the way. And then it's like. And then it goes back to the hook. Just wanna stand here. Yeah. So I'll give you something like that. I'll just sing apart, but yeah, let's just say. Let's go. I like your theme because I think you're onto something here just about being in la, like the streets of la, like what you've seen out there, the people you met. You know what I'm saying?

Lunchbox
No, no, I. I just noticed record producers, record producer. Hearing the screen, I. I noticed it was in the picture, and I didn't know if that was distracting the people, so I was trying to turn it around.
Bobby
Okay. It's pretty good, though.
Lunchbox
No, there's no one behind me. I'm just in a prod studio. There's no one. I don't. I even see Seacrest yet.

Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
And that's about it. I. I haven't really gone anywhere else.

Amy
The 5150 hold.
Bobby
Cedar Sinai Hospital. Is that just. You only know that because John material went to have hand surgery there.
Amy
I feel like back when I did the Hollywood.
Lunchbox
No, that's when the celebrities go.
Amy
We would talk about Cedar Sinai Hospital a lot.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's where they get checked into, like, whenever they're dehydrated. Yeah, exactly.
Amy
Exactly.
Eddie
You gotta go there, man.
Amy
Wait, are you in. Where is he, Burbank or Sherman?

Bobby
And be like, I got a song called Fish out of Water. Los Angeles.
Amy
Yep.
Lunchbox
Oh, man. They would be like, get out of here.
Bobby
Yeah. Like the opposite, though. Like, when something's bad, it's really good. They'll be like, get out of here. That means come on back in.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Sick.
Bobby
Did Stevenson have a second beat?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
Okay, what's that? What's happening here?
Eddie
Is that a different language?
Bobby
It also has, like, an Asian themed instrument in the back or an Indian theme? Not sure.
Amy
Yeah, I don't.
Bobby
I get those confused.
Amy
I don't know. This was his second class. Yeah, the first beat was his first class.
Bobby
Turn that up. Is there. Is there, like, room on it, or does she sing the whole time? Oh, here we go. Turn up. Hey, let's talk. Can you breeze out this one? Whatever comes to mind don't do.
Lunchbox
Don't do.
Bobby
Los Angeles, though. Like, whatever you feel with this.
Eddie
Whatever comes to mind, bro. Let it go.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Eddie
Let it rip.
Bobby
Don't worry about getting canceled. We got you back.
Lunchbox
I'm out of my mind. I'm out of my mind. Oh, my gosh. What is this kind. Oh, God, Eddie. I don't know, man. This is beat. It's really weird. I'm trying to come up with words that would go with it.
Bobby
Yeah, that's hard to do.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby
What do you hear when you hear this?
Lunchbox
I. I hear someone that is really messed up on and just, like, on acid, and it's just, like, wants some over sensation.
Amy
Oh, overstimulated.
Lunchbox
That's what it. That's what it is. Amy. Thank you. What did I say?
Amy
Over sensation, but okay.
Lunchbox
Stimulated sensation.
Bobby
You. Well.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I don't know how you would rap to that.
Amy
Yeah, it's.
Eddie
It's more like a dance club, like. Yeah. Beat.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby
Yeah, maybe. Maybe that's his thing.
Amy
Maybe. I don't know. We're gonna see maybe dead mouse like.
Bobby
That instead of like a Dr. Dre.
Amy
I. Yeah, I don't know. I. You know, as a mom, you just want your kid to.
Bobby
I like it.
Amy
Find their thing. I do think that something maybe a little more creative side of things will be good for him, but we'll see.
Bobby
Take him fish out of water.
Lunchbox
No rush.
Amy
No rush.
Bobby
If he likes what we did.
Eddie
Fish out of water.
Bobby
Los Angeles. Yeah, the rapper. I said he's gonna start again.
Eddie
Where you at?
Bobby
Yeah, what are you looking? What are you reading right now?
Lunchbox
I was trying to Google stuff in Los Angeles.
Bobby
Oh, you, like, build up rhymes?
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah. I was on my phone because I was like, cool places in Los Angeles do that.
Bobby
Look up, like, Los Angeles landmarks.
Lunchbox
Los Angeles.
Bobby
And we'll give it one more run with that first beat.
Lunchbox
Angeles landmarks. There we go. All right, let's see.
Bobby
What, like, what do you see?
Lunchbox
I see the Hollywood sign. Walk of fame. Oh, yeah, the Branberry Building.
Bobby
You're loaded now.
Lunchbox
I don't even know what that is. Historical landmark, Santa Monica Pier.
Eddie
There we go.
Lunchbox
Oh, I did. I did see Santa Monica Boulevard.
Bobby
Okay.
Lunchbox
I drove by it on the highway.
Bobby
Are you driving? Are you Ubering or you rent a car?
Lunchbox
What? Well, I mean, Ubering, but, yeah, we went by the yeah. Sign. Santa Monica Boulevard. And I was like, oh. But I didn't stop.
Bobby
All right, that's cool.
Eddie
Cool, man.
Bobby
All right, you want to get one more run or are you tired?
Lunchbox
No, no, I'm good, man. I, I, I, I. I'm warmed up now.
Bobby
Good deal. Beat one, please. Let it get going. I'll lead you in. Here we go.
Eddie
Got.
Bobby
Here we go. Fish out the water. Los Angeles. He's a fish out the water. Los Angeles.
Lunchbox
I grab my boo and I take her to that old Los Angeles Zoo. And what do you know? There's no animals. So I say we go to the Griffin Observatory. What do you do there? No idea, but it's some old building, and you look over the city and, oh, we're at a crossroads of the world. And that's down there by the Santa Monica Pier. And what do you see? Oh, you see nothing but the blue ocean. The ocean. The Billy, Billy blue ocean.
Bobby
The water. Los Angeles. He didn't stop at the right time. There's a Fish out the water, Los Angeles. One more verse.
Lunchbox
It's where you dream. Dreamers dream. You come to make it big on the big screen. And so we go visit for some inspiration, the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Oh, my gosh. I can't even get on the prices right. How am I gonna get in? My star on this sidewalk right next to Michael White. And then you go and you see the Hollywood sign. I didn't know a famous person on the hot Walk of Fame. I tried to come up with someone.
Bobby
Michael White, Tom Hanks, Macaulay Culkin. I thought, he's going to Macaulay Culkin. When he said, that's a good ride. Yeah, but it doesn't matter. I loved how you tried to drive Observatory with nothing.
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby
When he said that, I was like, there's no. He's not getting out of there anytime.
Eddie
He went to the landmarks, there's just no rhymes, man.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it was tough, man. Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby
All right, well, good job, buddy.
Eddie
Good job, dude.
Lunchbox
Thanks, man. That's a Hollywood sign. I need to go see that.
Eddie
Have you not.
Bobby
You can see it everywhere. It's.
Eddie
It's.
Bobby
You can't get.
Lunchbox
No, I haven't. I haven't seen it.
Bobby
You can't get to it.
Lunchbox
Oh, you can look. No, Eddie, I'm telling you, I've been in my hotel. I've been on the cbs. Lot of prices, Right. And what's crazy is in the front of the. The lot is there's, like, a preschool. There's, like, kids playing on a playground.
Bobby
Oh, really?
Eddie
That's probably all.
Lunchbox
Maybe that's kids. That could be it. I was like, maybe it's all the workers there. That's where they.
Eddie
Yes.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So that's cool.
Bobby
Do you see any other shows being shot there? Because that's what they do. Dance with the Stars.
Lunchbox
I haven't seen any. I did see let's Make a Deal.
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Like, it was on the other side, and one of the chairs in the waiting area said, let's make a Deal. And I was like, at wrong set.
Eddie
But the Dancing with the Stars set, is that the same as his? Price is Right?
Bobby
No. Massive building.
Eddie
Okay.
Lunchbox
It's huge.
Bobby
Yeah. Many different sound stages in there.
Eddie
Got it.
Bobby
And they wouldn't. Because Dancing with the Stars only rinse it during the season. They don't keep it when it's not. So right now it's in season so that it stays the same. That's what's up.
Eddie
All right.
Lunchbox
All right.
Bobby
Lunchbox. Good. Good luck today.
Lunchbox
Thank you. I need it Tucks it up.
Bobby
I say you go. Go back to old. To you.
Lunchbox
Oh, man.
Bobby
Do you have the energy to go back to old you?
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, I got to. I mean, I'll find the energy. I mean, the energy is always there. You just got to talk to yourself. Like, look, all right, this is your one shot. Well, now it's actually your third shot. And you just gotta go. You just gotta hit it hard. You gotta hit the ground running. And, man, I just. I can't come in Monday and not have made it. Like, I can't.
Bobby
Why?
Lunchbox
Because then I wasted a whole three days here, like, for nothing. For absolutely nothing. Maybe. I don't know.
Eddie
And you kind of sound like an. Like an idiot. Like, is that part of it, too, where you.
Bobby
Like, you're embarrassed? Yeah. Because you said for sure to be so easy, and then you come back multiple attempts.
Lunchbox
I don't sound like an idiot. I don't sound like an idiot right now.
Bobby
No, I think it's.
Eddie
No, no.
Bobby
When you get back. I think his point was you thought it would be so easy. And maybe idiot was harsh, but. But maybe you sounded. You just very wrong that it was so easy. You'd for sure get on. They couldn't resist you.
Lunchbox
Well, yeah, yeah, that could be a. That could be an issue. That could be a feeling.
Bobby
Would you rather not get called on at all? This is day three. The same question is asked. Not get called on at all or make it to contestants row and then not make it up.
Lunchbox
Oh, oh, now that it's day three, make it to contestants row and not get up. Just so I can tell you guys. See, I told you that I was irresistible that they had to put down.
Bobby
You would say that.
Lunchbox
I told you guys that I was going to get on because if I come back without getting on.
Bobby
But does that count as getting on if you only get to contestants row and you're actually not good enough to get on the show?
Lunchbox
Not on the show, man.
Bobby
That's where skill is. Skill is where you go from contestants row to the stage.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's true. Because, I mean, I feel like for the next, maybe 36 hours after I get back, I mean, those phone lines are going to be lit up if I do not get on because they're.
Bobby
Going to be saying what to you? No, you idiot. Like Eddie said. He said.
Eddie
Yeah, my point.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So we'll probably not. I mean, I don't know. I don't know what we're gonna do. We're gonna get on, so we don't. Why are we talking negative folks. We gotta talk positive.
Eddie
Like, you're the one.
Bobby
You let us here.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I know, I know. I. Man, Hollywood. I guess they've seen all types. Maybe that's what it is. They've seen all types. And so you think.
Bobby
Tell him your dad, Steve Buscemi.
Lunchbox
I don't think they'd believe me.
Bobby
You look just like.
Lunchbox
I don't look like the guy.
Eddie
No, you do.
Lunchbox
I mean, if that. If that's going to help. I'm like, hey, I'm a Nepo, baby. Steve Buscebi is my dad.
Bobby
All right, we're done. Amy, what are you doing this weekend?
Amy
Going to UVA game.
Bobby
Oh, yeah, That's.
Amy
Yeah. The time has come.
Bobby
Uab, uva.
Eddie
What's. Oh, uva. Virginia.
Amy
I don't know who they're playing. Deal.
Bobby
No, I don't, actually.
Eddie
No.
Bobby
Mike, will you let me know who Virginia football's playing?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
So Washington State.
Eddie
Oh, where is that?
Bobby
You can win that.
Amy
We're going to. Where? Charlottesville.
Eddie
Charlottesville?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
So you can win that game.
Amy
We can win? Yeah. Oh, good. Be good to be at a winning game. That would be fun. But like, once a year, my boyfriend tries to meet up with all of his college friends. They pick a game they all go to, and this is the one. But, like, his kids are there. His daughter's visiting the campus because I guess she's looking into maybe going, too. But that's cool. So they've already been there. And I'm. Then they drove. So then I'm flying to meet them. And then.
Bobby
Mike, will you look up the weather for Fayetteville tomorrow? Are you gonna go if it's raining? I'm not going.
Eddie
Oh, that's the deciding factor.
Bobby
If it's gonna. We. I'm already on the fence anyway. But if it's like stormy, I agree.
Amy
Like, why. If it's raining, why would you want to go?
Bobby
Yeah, it's like 70% chance of storm.
Eddie
Oh, dude, that's too high. 70s high.
Amy
What's the weather in Charlottesville? Should I cancel?
Bobby
I don't think you can. I can't because I would just go and come back home and go to the game, but I don't want to. I'm not going over there for rain. I also don't want to fly in when it's raining.
Eddie
Like storming stress you out?
Amy
Eddie, flying for you last weekend was no problem.
Eddie
No problem. I got delayed coming back. But it was just. I think it was. It was like a 30 minute delay.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Hour, maybe lunchbox.
Bobby
When do you get home?
Lunchbox
Saturday night.
Bobby
What do you have planned for tonight if you don't get on the show?
Lunchbox
I have no idea. What do you have planned if you.
Bobby
Do get on the show? Like, I don't know what's, what's.
Lunchbox
I, I think we're supposed to do dinner with my wife's cousin. I don't know exactly what that means.
Eddie
You know what kind of food this time?
Lunchbox
No, I don't know. I. They live like. I don't know where they even live. I've never, I've never been to their house. They just moved to a new house because she got a new job.
Bobby
So cool.
Lunchbox
I, I could be very depressing, though. I, I mean, if I, if it's, if it doesn't go well today, like that dinner is going to be just like. This is awkward.
Bobby
Why nobody.
Amy
You can still have a good time.
Bobby
Nobody thinks less of you. Yeah, because you didn't.
Lunchbox
Oh, I'll be so mad at myself. I'll be so mad at. I'll be kicking myself. I'll be running over scenarios in my head what I did wrong, what I. But, But I mean, I guess I should be happy because I'm seeing my wife's cousin and her husband and, you know, we've never, We've never visited him here, so.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby
All right, well, good luck today. We hope you get on.
Lunchbox
Thank you.
Bobby

Bobby
It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're sitting like, oh, God, what do we do?
