Key Discussion Points & Insights

• Instagram Emoji Confusion:

  • Lunchbox is frustrated that Instagram stories only give him animated emojis, not static ones, especially for covering his kids’ faces. Morgan helps him locate the regular emoji keyboard. (07:00)

• Social Media Lessons:

  • Lunchbox confesses he’s been using a convoluted workaround to edit images: create Instagram stories, add the needed marks, download, then upload as a post. Morgan reveals he could do it more easily. (09:46)

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

This is an iHeart podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

Guaranteed Human.

[Karen Kilgariff]

I turned off news altogether.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I hate to say it, but I

[Morgan Hughes]

don't trust much of anything.

[Fidelity Advertiser]

It's the rage bait.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

It feels like it's trying to divide people.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

We got clear facts. Maybe we can calm down a little.

[NBC News Announcer]

NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Eczema is unpredictable, but you can flare less with Epglis, a once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema. After an initial four month or longer dosing phase, about four in 10 people taking Eblis achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing.

[Ebglis Medication Announcer]

Empglis Lebricizumab LBKZ, a 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kg kg with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. EBGLIS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to Ebglis. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Ebglis. Before starting Eglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Ask your doctor about eglis and visit ebgliss.lilly.com or call 1-800-lilyrx or 1-800-545-5979.

[Starbucks Advertiser]

What's up y'? All? Summer's got a different tempo. Everything's a little looser, brighter. One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer. Next thing you know, you're somewhere you didn't plan to be. It's those in between moments. That's where the ideas hit. Conversations stretch out. Little memories sneak up on you. Sometimes it's just about what's in your hand. That color. That chill. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Guava and passion fruit flavors with Mango Pineapple Flavored pearls. Yeah, that feels like summer before you even taste it. Funny how one small stop becomes the best part of the day. Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Goodbye, the best bits of the week

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

with Morgan behind the scenes with a member of the show.

[Morgan Hughes]

What is up, friends and happy weekend. I'm joined by the one and only Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Is it ever a happy weekend when we got to be here on a Saturday? I don't think so. Six days a week. I usually only get paid for five days a week, so me putting in overtime. I wish I could fill out an overtime slip, but they don't have their that here.

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't think you would know how to put in an overtime slip.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I wouldn't. I have no idea. That's what I'm saying. I wish they had them, though. I wish they had it right by the bathroom. Says, here's your overtime slip. But no, I'll just keep grinding, man. Grinding for the people.

[Morgan Hughes]

Well, speaking of things you don't know how to do, FaceTime is one of them.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

What do you mean? Listen, I have no idea what happened.

[Morgan Hughes]

So Lunchbox, I think he might be getting his old chops happening here because.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, this isn't an old person thing.

[Morgan Hughes]

I think it is because I was on a walk and I'm just enjoying my little walk and I'm getting a FaceTime.

[Guest or Listener]

It's a.

[Morgan Hughes]

It's a Saturday or Sunday morning.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I was definitely a Sunday morning.

[Morgan Hughes]

It was a Sunday morning. I was like, why is Lunchbox facetiming me? Never facetimes me. If anything, hold text me or call Me at the most.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Correct.

[Morgan Hughes]

And so I'm getting. I open it up, like, curious to see what's going to happen, and I'm in the inside of a pocket, and I'm just hearing a whole conversation he's having with one of his kids. And I was like, is this. Is this one of the kids, like, calling me? Hello? Which one is it? Hello? What's going on? And nobody answers. Nobody says anything. And I was like, okay, I'll just hang up. And then two seconds later, he does it again.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I literally hear Morgan talking to me from my pocket. And I don't know how that happens because literally my phone was not out of my pocket. So I was. It was like we were at a park, a playground, and there was a zip line, and I was pushing the kids on the zip line. So I don't really know. Like, did their foot hit my. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I would assume that it's. Doesn't that mean locked when it's like that?

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

Which means your phone was not locked at the time.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't know how it would not be locked because it was in my pocket. You know what I mean? Like, if they hit a button or, like, me pushing them, they kicked the button, and it made it go to whatever. But then my question is, how did it get to you?

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't know. And how did it do it to me twice? Like, I hung up on you thinking, okay, if it wasn't. But I'll. No big deal. Hang up. But to do it again a second time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

It's so wild. And you just pulled the phone out of your pocket, like, what are you doing? What do you need? I'm like, you called me twice.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

I did.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I said, what do you need? And I was very surprised that Morgan was FaceTiming me on a Sunday morning. And it was just weird because I don't know where you would have been in my. My contacts or, like, my.

[Morgan Hughes]

Because it had to be, like, recent calls, but there was.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

I wouldn'.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

When the last time I called you? Six months ago.

[Morgan Hughes]

And not called on FaceTime, too.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Correct.

[Morgan Hughes]

So, like, it would have called if anything.

[Guest or Listener]

I don't know.

[Morgan Hughes]

It's just weird.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It was very strange. And, I mean, you're right. And that's the thing about technology. Technology is weird because I've. I didn't touch it. I didn't do anything, and it was still messing with me. And it's like, I had to hit you up. I didn't call you, but I wanted to Call you is. I don't understand what Instagram did with their emojis. They used to just have still little smiley faces and now they don't. They all move.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yes, but I told you that you can use the actual emoji keyboard still. You are trying to use GIFs or GIFs.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Let me see. I'm gonna pull up my Instagram. I'm gonna pull up a picture, not post. Gotta go to story. Right. To use it.

[Morgan Hughes]

Because Lunchbox, when he poses kids, he always puts emojis over their faces, correct them 100%.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So let's just say I have this right now. Where do I go?

[Morgan Hughes]

You guys are in technology lessons. Maureen. 101.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Hit this square thing, right?

[Morgan Hughes]

So the square thing is what you used to do. The little smiley face.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, my God.

[Morgan Hughes]

So Lunchbox is currently on his story and you would just go as a text now and select an emoji text. Yeah, like so go on your keyboard. Your emoji keyboard.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't have down in the bottom left.

[Morgan Hughes]

See the smiley face? There's your emojis. So choose one.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Smile

[Morgan Hughes]

Lunchbox Learning as we're happening right now. Okay, so now you have one. Now click out of the keyboard.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Click out of the keyboard.

[Morgan Hughes]

Out of it and put it on the face and you can expand it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

Wow.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Let's just put that one.

[Morgan Hughes]

Did you get it? This is what it's like most days when Lunchbox is learning new stuff.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Here's what's crazy. I even went to TikTok and tried to do it just so I could put a smiley face over it because they had still smiley faces.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I couldn't figure out how to download the picture from TikTok. It wouldn't let me do it.

[Morgan Hughes]

You have to post things on TikTok for it to download.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Got it. That's. I mean, I was like, man, this is so annoying.

[Morgan Hughes]

Or it saves it with a watermark, which you don't want.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I don't want to watermark.

[Morgan Hughes]

And so do you know what a watermark is?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, it says TikTok on it. It, like, claims it. I know what a watermark is.

[Morgan Hughes]

We're doing good.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So I had to end up. I put a moving one on there.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And then I had to do a screenshot of that.

[Morgan Hughes]

That works too.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, but that's three steps too far. Like, I just wanted to be simple, and nothing can be simple.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's true.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So I got a question now. This is. This is deep.

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't know if people want to hear our Technology, I don't give a

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

crap what people want. It's not about them, it's about me. Like, so if I put a picture up, right?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like, if I'm doing a post and I'm doing multiple pictures, right?

[Morgan Hughes]

Correct.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Boom, boom, boom. Can I do a smiley face on one of those without going into my story and doing it?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, you can still also put text on any of those. Just how I taught you how. Remember when you did your bat, your kitchen remodel, and you were adding text to the photos? Yeah, it's just like that. You use your keyboard and you do your emoji keyboard.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But here. So I'm in here. So let's say I want to put a picture.

[Morgan Hughes]

So add text. See where there's text down there at the bottom? Add text and you type just like you.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, my gosh. You know, I'm going to confess something right here.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay. Confess something.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I used to have. This is how I do it. I would always go post it. Like, I'm going to post it in my story, do the artwork or whatever I need to put on the faces, download it, then upload it to a post. Because I didn't realize you could do it in a post, man. Sometimes getting up early on a Saturday pays off. And now I. Because then I have to download the picture. So then I have that picture that I don't really need on my phone with the smiley face over it. Ah, so to be young again.

[Morgan Hughes]

You're not wrong in that. It used to be that way that you.

[Karen Kilgariff]

That.

[Morgan Hughes]

But it was about two years ago now. Oh, so you just a little delayed?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, maybe I haven't upgraded my Instagram

[Morgan Hughes]

since maybe a year and a half. Maybe a year.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, maybe I haven't updated my Instagram yet.

[Morgan Hughes]

Your Instagram is updated. When did you do the kitchen remodel post?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

A long time ago.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, so.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But you know what I did there is I went to story and wrote them out and then downloaded them and then uploaded them.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, I know. I remember.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, man, that's tough. That's a. That's a tough look.

[Morgan Hughes]

You're welcome, though. I'm proud of you.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, because I was like. I mean, it took me 30 minutes to figure out the smiley face. I was like, there has to be still smiley faces. And there wasn't. And I wasted 30 stupid. And this is why this. Why social media stupid, because it took me 30 minutes. Like, it was like I almost gave up because I was like, man, I don't need to do this. It's not that important to me. Like, I was just trying to.

[Morgan Hughes]

You know, that's how they get you. You know, that's how they're the influencers influence. And then you're just.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And then I still need you to show me how to, like, commentate on a news story. Like, these people that, like, have a news story behind them and commentate.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, he's talking about when people green screen something behind.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I am like, that blows my mind. I need to know how to do.

[Morgan Hughes]

I can't tell you how to do that.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, you kind of told me, but I need you to, like, actually take me step by step so I can learn. Because I don't know that I'll comment on news stories or whatever, but it sure is fun. It looks cool when people do it. I'm like, oh, that's pretty funny.

[Morgan Hughes]

Except recently Facebook announced their. And I don't know if this version is gonna count of that. It might just be when people remix a video and then add their video. But they recently announced that they're gonna start pushing those videos away from the algorithm because they're repurposing other people's content. So basically, the only thing that's going to work is your own content. Like your own.

[Guest or Listener]

Got it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Organic. Got it.

[Morgan Hughes]

But I don't know if that's included in that. I would assume it is because you're utilizing somebody else's content.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, the only reason is because. The only reason I wanted to learn this is because I applied for another job with Fox, and it was. They were paying someone $50,000 to sit in a cube in Times Square and watch all the World cup games. And I was like, hello. You know who would be perfect for that job? And it's got two thumbs. This guy. This guy. And so I applied and everything, and I had to go to link. Not LinkedIn link. No, not Link. Tree. Indeed. Or something like that. And you had to fill out everything, and then you had to submit all this stuff, and then you had to do a post. And I did it and everything. And I'm like, oh, man, I'm a shoe in. And they picked these. They picked not one, but. But two dudes. Two dudes.

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

Mm.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And one of them was better than the other one. I thought. I thought one was clearly better. But a lot of their videos were, like, them talking about something on the screen.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And I was like, well, why is that better than what I. You know what I mean? Like, so it was like, oh, here's Messi. And they would talk about Messi, and It would just be a picture of Messi or a video of Messi.

[Morgan Hughes]

So they were actually kind of being commentators.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Kind of.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

But social.

[Morgan Hughes]

On social media instead of live during the game.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Correct. And I was like, well, I could do that. Right? And then I was like, I don't know how to do that.

[Morgan Hughes]

So you could do it, but we got it. We got to teach you.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, but you're telling me that it's not going to be in the algorithm. So I'm like, but here's the thing. This is. Maybe I'm not paying attention, but I haven't seen one post about them, like, since they got the job. Like, I thought I would see it all over the place.

[Morgan Hughes]

Maybe it's on a different platform. It's possible. It's on Snapchat.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Maybe it's on TikTok.

[Morgan Hughes]

TikTok.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Let's see if I go to Fox Soccer. Let's see if they have these.

[Morgan Hughes]

I do want to talk to you about soccer.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Because, see, look, Fox Soccer. And they don't have one post to these guys.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, it may not be for Instagram specifically. Sometimes they'll do that where they're employing you for a particular platform or a particular reason.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay, let me go to TikToks.

[Morgan Hughes]

Or maybe they use it at a different point. But I do want to talk to you about soccer.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, and that was you and your dude. I don't know how. How do I search on TikTok?

[Morgan Hughes]

Oh, boy. Okay, we're going to be here a while. We'll come back to that. We'll check. Nope, you got to put that away.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'm trying.

[Morgan Hughes]

No sound, no copyright.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Go.

[Morgan Hughes]

I tried to watch a soccer game the other night.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay. Who'd you had to watch, though?

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't even know. They were white and red.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, that doesn't help me.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay, but it's not really. It's not really the team that matter.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, it does.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Because maybe you watched two terrible teams, so it was boring.

[Morgan Hughes]

It was really boring.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You just don't understand it.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's true. I don't understand it, But I was very bored.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Do you understand how they are taking that ball, right? And they are doing some of the most amazing things you've ever seen in such a small area where there are so many people around them, or they take a pass and they. They. They rip it 50 yards across the field, and the dude just, boop, nice and easy with his chest, brings it right to his feet. Do you know how hard that is to do?

[Morgan Hughes]

Oh, I don't doubt that. It is not hard.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It is so exciting.

[Morgan Hughes]

They're very skilled. But it's football, but with feet.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It was invented way before football, but

[Morgan Hughes]

I'm saying, like, those two are the same now that I've watched them. Like, soccer is with your feet, football is with your hands, and the purpose is scoring a goal.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay. Yes.

[Morgan Hughes]

I mean, and that was all I could think of when I was watching it. And football also makes me bored.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So I don't know how you're. I mean.

[Morgan Hughes]

And see, I knew you'd have thoughts on this. It's also way too long. Games are really, really long.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They're 90 minutes. They're shorter than baseball games, football games, basketball. They're short. The shortest game of any game you'll ever watch.

[Morgan Hughes]

I do think a lot of games are long.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So, you know, what do you want, 10 minutes?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, give me like 15. Give me a little like Burton there.

[Georgia Hardstark]

No.

[Morgan Hughes]

Or 30 minutes. They just feel like they go on forever and they don't take a lot of breaks.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's the whole point. That is non stop action. That's what's so good about it.

[Morgan Hughes]

But there's not a lot of action, you know?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

What do you mean there's not action?

[Morgan Hughes]

I mean, they're just running around kicking a ball.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It's wall to wall to end. Every play is intense.

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't know. Yeah, Whatever game I watched, it was not intense.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, you just want see and that's okay. Not everybody's going to get it. You don't understand how intense it is. I mean, it is so intense. The World cup has been fantastic.

[Morgan Hughes]

Have you watched every single game?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, no. I'm not getting paid $50,000, so you wouldn't.

[Morgan Hughes]

Who are you watching? Are there particular teams?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I want. Whenever I'm around and I have time,

[Morgan Hughes]

I watch you put it on.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. I just love any of it. I got.

[Morgan Hughes]

Will you specifically watch the USA Games, though?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. No, no, I don't miss those. Those are. Those are unmissable.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

The kids get ready. They watch it. They love it. When they played their second game against Australia or whatever, we had friends over and watched the game.

[Morgan Hughes]

Watch party.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, a little watch party. Just because, man, they're good.

[Morgan Hughes]

I saw that they're about to play Turkey.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, they played Turkey on Thursday, but you were already asleep.

[Morgan Hughes]

Oh, dang. I missed that.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. So now next they'll play in the knockout round. Now it's win or go home in these next games. There is no ties anymore.

[Listener or Guest]

It is.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

We have A winner and we have a loser. And someone's World cup dream is going to come to an end at the end of every game.

[Morgan Hughes]

See, I don't get that either. Why do they allow ties?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay, so the, the beginning is pool play. It's just like a tournament. Like in softball, if you're in a tournament, you usually have four teams in your bracket in your little, little group, and you play all three of them. And then the top two teams from that, that group move into the single elimination bracket.

[Morgan Hughes]

I get that, but I don't understand the tying thing.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So in these, what if they all

[Morgan Hughes]

just tie all the time?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay, that's a great point for it. So for a win you get three points. For a tie you get one point. And that's how you determine who moves on who has the most points.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay, see, you want to win. You want to win, but a tie is like second best.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Second best. And also if they played to find a winner every game, those you would be exhaust. Like you have to at some point realize the exhaustion level of. Because you're only allowed five subs, which I think you should be allowed more subs. But that's just me. I'm old and. Because it makes it more exciting because more team. If you're conserving energy because you can't sub anymore.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You're not really trying to score. You're more. I'm going to conserve my energy and just pass the ball around. If you could sub in and out, you know, like take a 15 minute break, come back in, I think it'd be a lot more action. Well, no, there's action already. No, there's more. There's action already. But teams wouldn't be okay with a tie.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, that, that's weird to me. There's not a lot of sports that that happens. I think hockey is the other one where they can tie.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, hockey can't tie. They go. They not even they go to a shootout.

[Morgan Hughes]

Did they used to tie?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes.

[Listener or Guest]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Football, you can tie.

[Listener or Guest]

Really?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. How about them apples?

[Fidelity Advertiser]

I just don't.

[Morgan Hughes]

I mean, listen again, you know, I'm not a big sports girly. I'll play sports all day, but watching is just not my thing. So tying just doesn't make sense to me. You always wanted to win and if you end on a tie after such a intense plane, I feel like you'd just be devastated that that's all that came out of it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. And sometimes you're really happy. Like when you're Cape Verde and you're playing Spain, who's one of the best teams in the world, and Cape Verde, who's ever even heard of it, and you tie them. Guess what? You're over the moon.

[Morgan Hughes]

So does it, I guess, create the potential for a team who's not super great to do better?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes.

[Morgan Hughes]

So it levels the playing field.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. Like the other night, the Republic of South Africa, which.

[Morgan Hughes]

Super cool that they're playing in it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Exactly. They beat South Korea. Huge upset.

[Morgan Hughes]

That stuff is really cool.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Huge upset. Like, that's unbelievable. That shouldn't happen.

[Morgan Hughes]

And is it because of that level playing field that happens? Or, like, is it then unfair if somebody is the best in the world and they had a bad game and now all of a sudden.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's why it's great.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Okay?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's why every day.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

Every.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Every day gives someone a chance. That's why it's great. You have these great stories, like Haiti. I mean, I don't know. I couldn't even explain Haiti like a soccer team, but they went toe to toe with Morocco. Who's one of the better teams in the World Cup? Like, Morocco is picked to make a deep run into the, you know, World cup, and Haiti had them on the ropes. They ended up losing, but they scored a couple goals. I mean, it's just cool.

[Morgan Hughes]

Very cool. So cool. It's awesome.

[Listener or Guest]

Cool.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like, was it conga or doctor. I don't even know what they're called. I forget the team, but they're not supposed to be any good. And they're freaking moving. I mean, it's just, like, you get these teams, you're like, how are they moving on? They have 12 people in their country and they play soccer and they do it. That's why it's great.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay? It is fair. It is cool to see all the countries come together and there's all these different. That is the cool part.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Tell me you haven't been enamored. Enamored with the different videos of the fans from other countries coming to America and Mexico and Canada and just taking over places.

[Morgan Hughes]

Oh, yeah. See Norway. A lot of Norway fans in New

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

York City, in Times Square, rowing.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

It is.

[Morgan Hughes]

That is something that I do really appreciate about soccer, is that it brings a bunch of cultures together and introduces all these different worlds.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But the Scotland people, they made Boston run out of beer.

[Karen Kilgariff]

I love it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like, do you understand how incredible that is?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, I love it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And here's the cool part. They do it peacefully. Isn't it amazing how you don't hear stories about them going out and fighting everyone? They get Hammered. And they are the friendliest people in the world. Then they. They went to Miami is where they were playing next. And I think it was Miller Light was like, oh, man, we don't want them to run out of beer. So they sent a Miller Light boat.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's amazing.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay. And a bunch of Scotland fans went out on the water on the. You know, the Scott, the boat with. And they saw some dude out for a run, and they threw him a beer. Dude chugged it, and then he kept on running. I mean, it's just like. That is the cool stuff. Like I. And the chance and everybody's going crazy and the Netherlands marching to the stadium, and there's just so many oranges. I mean, it's. It's great. The World cup is awesome.

[Morgan Hughes]

That I will say, I think the fan side, the culture side is really cool of soccer that I don't think a lot of other sports really have.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They don't.

[Morgan Hughes]

And that part's fun. As a person who is a fan,

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

it's the other sports. What it is. It's American sports against American sports. And when they fight each other, it's like, guys, yeah, can't we do this? This is more fun.

[Morgan Hughes]

That is true. If you could join any other country on soccer.

[Listener or Guest]

Oh.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Oh,

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

man. I mean, Scotland's not that good, but those people look like a lot of fun.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, they look a lot.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And so the Netherlands. The Netherlands people look awesome. I mean, so one of those two. I don't know. I mean, Norway looked cool. I mean, they all looked cool. I know, but I've been to Scotland, and I thought the people were super nice when I was there, and they know to have fun. So I think I'd do Scotland, but they're not super. But they're not going to win, so.

[Morgan Hughes]

Well, you say, but. You say that, but it's a level.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They're not going to win.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay. All right. But no.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. I would never pick anybody besides the usa.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I would never. Never. Usa. USA all the way. But, like, if USA Messi on what team is Argentina?

[Guest or Listener]

Why?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So he's so good.

[Listener or Guest]

I'm.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's. I'm confused by that. He was playing on a USA team.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay.

[Morgan Hughes]

But now he's not playing because he's not from here. Is that right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So he plays in Major League Soccer, which is a league.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And that is in different cities in the United States and Canada.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay. Then when it comes time for big tournaments like this, when it's country versus country, he goes back and plays for his country of Argentina.

[Morgan Hughes]

Got it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes.

[Morgan Hughes]

Because is it better for him, I assume, to be playing in the Major League Soccer versus whatever's over in Argentina.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes. Argentina doesn't have great soccer, but he was playing over in Europe. That's where the really good soccer is. Yeah, but you have to understand that he's been doing it for so long, and the pressure of doing that and being the best since you're 16, 17 years old, he won a World Cup. So he comes to the US and he is still freaking amazing. And he makes a buttload of money and he gets to have a lot less pressure because the United States soccer culture is not as crazy as over there. That he could still play over in Europe, no problem.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's crazy.

[Jacob Goldstein]

That.

[Morgan Hughes]

So he's played for his country, he's played for Europe, and he's played for America.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, he hadn't played for America. He's played in America.

[Morgan Hughes]

Sorry. In America. That he's played in all these. Played everywhere capacities. Is that common? I feel like they are typically pretty young when they retire.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, he's on the older side of a soccer player. And here's the. Usually you want to. It used to be you want to play in Europe. That was okay, I got to go play over there. I got to play.

[Morgan Hughes]

Because that's the best of the best when it comes to soccer.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's what they say.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You know, and then they're like, ah, you know, maybe I want to. And some of these superstars, like Messi Beckham, at the end of their careers, came over and played MLS because they say MLS is not as good, but MLS has gained traction.

[Starbucks Advertiser]

They're.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They're not. Are they the best league in the world? No, absolutely not. Are they close to the Premier League? Absolutely not. But do they have players that have been starting to. Okay, you're moving to Premier League because they come and get them and they've developed some players. Yes.

[Morgan Hughes]

So is Major League Soccer.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

People are going to hate this one.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

What?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

We've talked soccer the whole time.

[Morgan Hughes]

Well, no, the World Cup. I don't even watch soccer. And I'm curious about what's going on in World Cup. Doesn't mean I'm going to watch it, but I want to know what's going on.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay.

[Morgan Hughes]

And this is my last question. We got to go answer questions.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But like you just said, there's your last question. Then we're going to answer questions.

[Morgan Hughes]

Listener questions.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Thank you. Okay.

[Morgan Hughes]

Major League Soccer, Is that to Premier League? Like a. Is to Major League Baseball?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You mean double A or double?

[Morgan Hughes]

A.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Yes.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I was like a. Alcohol. I didn't know.

[Morgan Hughes]

You're going to as and then to Major League.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, no.

[Morgan Hughes]

Like, minor league to Major League.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Because, like, a double A team would just get absolutely shellacked by a Major League Baseball team. And I think the Premier League teams would beat mls, but also, I think MLS teams could. You know what I mean, Compete. Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

So it's probably a step above that.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

But their Premier League is their Major league.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes.

[Guest or Listener]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And Bundle Bundeslig and La Liga for Mexico, you know, they have all different leagues that. And then. Yeah, that's just. I mean, that's the easiest way to put it. I don't want to get too down in the dirt because people will be like, what? What the hell? What?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah. But I needed to know at least the basics.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, but, like, when you're a kid. I mean, me, I didn't have any drink because there was no professional soccer when I was a kid here.

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And I didn't really. And without Internet, I didn't really know the Premier League, so. And my parents didn't know what soccer was, so it wasn't like they. You know, some kids, they knew what the Premier League was because their parents are from over there, or they somehow kn. Knew, but I didn't know anything about it. And then MLS came, like, in the 90s at some point, and it was just barely. Barely anything.

[Morgan Hughes]

It's really skyrocketed in the last couple years.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's really, you know, it's taken off.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay. All right, Now I'm following. Thank you for the lesson. And soccer.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. So we did so. So far, we've done Instagram lessons. Soccer lessons. Welcome to the school.

[Morgan Hughes]

You're getting old with FaceTime.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I'm not. That was not me.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

All right, you guys have a great day.

[Morgan Hughes]

We're not taking. No, we're taking a break.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, I thought we were going home.

[Karen Kilgariff]

No.

[Morgan Hughes]

And then we're gonna answer questions. We'll be right back.

[Karen Kilgariff]

I turned off news altogether.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I hate to say it, but I

[Morgan Hughes]

don't trust much of anything.

[Karen Kilgariff]

She says. He's a quote, very strange man. But they do get along really well.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Give us examples.

[Karen Kilgariff]

I know they do get along intellectually and in fact she helps him design a faster plane. She takes a look at what he's designed. It's got these square wings and she's like, that doesn't make sense. And so she finds the fastest bird and the fastest fish and sketches out a drawing of like what the two would look like as a plane. And that becomes the plane that we know today.

Goodbye Eczema is unpredictable, but you can flare less with ebglis, a once monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema.

Best bits of the Week with Morgan.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

It's listener Q and A time where

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions.

[Morgan Hughes]

All right, it is time. Some listeners sending questions. We got shout outs to start the one and only Lunchbox. One of the funniest people in the world. Jake in Virginia.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Jake in Virginia. Smart dude. Thank you. Appreciate it. Did you write that I don't have a burners account?

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

Burner?

[Morgan Hughes]

Not burners.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That would be.

[Morgan Hughes]

I mean you could have.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I could have burners and I don't have them. So that means I don't have any.

[Morgan Hughes]

All right, love Lunchbox Best bits weekend. That's from Kathy in Pittsburgh.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Kathy and Pittsburgh, what up?

[Morgan Hughes]

And Julie from Pennsylvania. Wait, I thought he wasn't doing these anymore.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, I made exception to the rule.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay, well here's our questions. Does Lunchbox's parents keep their finances separate too? Amanda in Indiana?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I have no idea. You think I know about my parents finances?

[Morgan Hughes]

Maybe a little bit. As you got older, most of the time you go to your parents for financial advice.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, that's the thing. I couldn't. There's no financial advice. My parents don't have any money. They never had any money. So they don't know anything about finances either. They literally had nothing.

[Morgan Hughes]

Like so you weren't curious when you got married? Like hey, what'd you guys do? What should we do?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

How they couldn't do anything in any money.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah but like did they join finances? Did they decide to separate at some point?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I have no idea Never asked him anything about finances. Because I asked my dad one time. He's like, you think I know anything about money? I don't have any money. My mom and your mom and me had money. We didn't have any money, so it didn't matter. There was nothing to do with money because we didn't have anything. We didn't have any money.

[Morgan Hughes]

So you're. You were really learning finances on your own, which might be part of 100.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't know. And I don't know anything about finances. I know nothing.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like, I should, like, read something about them, but I don't even know what to read.

[Morgan Hughes]

I. Yeah, I mean, I don't know where to send you to start on that, but that's where most people would say that's where you get a financial advisor to do. Coach you and teach you.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, see, here's. Here's my problem with financial advisor. Right. Okay, so they make you an extra $10,000 a year, right?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, I'm depending on what you give them.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay. You got to pay them 4,000 of that. So are you really even coming out? I mean, or. How much do you pay them? 50%. You know what I'm saying? Like, I just see too many stories of, like, these professional athletes getting financial advisors, and then those financial advisors take their damn money.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

So.

[Morgan Hughes]

Sorry, are you a professional athlete? You think they take your money?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But what difference?

[Morgan Hughes]

I'm just trying following.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So, yeah, they trust these financial advisors, and they lose $2 million or $10 million, and it's like, yeah, I think I work pretty hard for this money. Don't think I'm just gonna hand it over to you. Old bill from accounting.

[Guest or Listener]

That's true.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

I.

[Morgan Hughes]

And I don't know how much they make. I don't know if it's 10%, 5%, 50%. I have no idea. I definitely think it depends on the financial advisor. But I also think, yeah, if you wanted to do your own research, I'm sure if you at least check people's credentials before you just blindly follow them,

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I think these athletes probably check their credentials, too.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, true. But I'm saying. I'm saying for you now, you could probably find some online. And what I'm saying is you just need to make sure you're checking their credentials before trusting them.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, the Internet, they're real trustworthy out there on the Internet.

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

Because there's a lot of people online that are doing financial advice that aren't actual finance.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, yeah, TikTok. Yeah. If you listen to Those people, you guys are idiots.

[Morgan Hughes]

But there's people on there just like there are doctors and nurses on there that are sharing their information.

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't know. It feels weird.

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't think you're going to get the kind of information you would really make a lot of money on, but at least it would kickstart you to learn more.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, I would love for someone to financially advise me, but it's weird. That's a weird.

[Morgan Hughes]

You're just a little distrusting.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

And I get it. I'm distrusting, too, of people, of getting taken advantage of, of people taking things that they shouldn't. I get it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. Because like, when people say stuff like, oh, do you have a this? And I'm like, I know what that is. I have no idea. My parents don't have that. I don't know what that is.

[Morgan Hughes]

Like, you could also, there's ways that you could start other accounts without having a financial Advisor. There's different CDs and interest accounts that you could just put money in and make money and you don't need somebody. But then the bank.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But is that a good idea? Like, that's what I'm saying. Like, oh, come get a cd. That's a thing, right?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, a CD is the thing. It just depends on your.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But I'm like. But I'm like, is that smart?

[Morgan Hughes]

They can be. But it also depends on how much liquid money. You need money all the time and how much money you're. Okay. Like, CDs will typically keep the money for an extended period of time. And banks, if you put it in an interest account, they'll take it and they'll go invest in stocks and stuff. So it just depends if you can let the money set aside and do some work for a while or if you need it all the time.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Right. I understand what you're saying. Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

I just don't know that that is a way to do it without having somebody else technically involved in the way that you're thinking.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

You know what I mean?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I understand. Like, I get it.

[Morgan Hughes]

There's ways.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, there's ways. There's ways. Like, it's like, oh, I'm gonna learn about money. But where do you even start? Like, what's the. Like, is it. Like, what's the basic starting point? What? What? You know what I mean? Like, you could pick up a book, but maybe that's way too advanced and you're not supposed to be, you know, at that point.

[Morgan Hughes]

So it is true. I mean, my fiance and I Talk about this, because he's. He's much like you. His parents never really taught him much about finances or anything like that. But my parents taught me because my dad taught himself.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Now, I got a question. Are there, like, college classes where you go and learn how to make money?

[Morgan Hughes]

Oh, you could for sure. You can take financial classes for sure.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Ah, maybe I'll go back to school.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's your three credits.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'll go to. I'll go to Financials for Dummies.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, and then you get your three credits and you can get your diploma.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You know what I mean? Like how they have those dummies books. Do they have Finance Making for Dummies?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah. I don't know how trustworthy or believable they are.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

See, that's what I mean. Like, everybody says something different. No one has a universal way that what is the right way, so.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, but there's also no universal way to make money, as you've seen.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, I know that.

[Morgan Hughes]

So there's no universal way. It all works for whatever your situation is. But, yeah, starting reading books is a starting place. You love reading books.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But I don't know where. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't know which one.

[Morgan Hughes]

A few money books.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Really?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, I've. Well, I've also had, like, financial people come on my podcast to talk.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, man.

[Morgan Hughes]

See, and everybody. Everybody does have a different.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Different variation.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's why you have to figure out what works for you and, like, your setup, because you really need somebody who understands having kids.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And like, Dave Ramsey, he's really smart, but also, I listen to his advice and I'm like, so you just want me to. Like, it sounds just bananas. Just sit in your house and do nothing?

[Morgan Hughes]

He's very aggressive with how he wants you to. He's much more on the front end for the bigger picture. And you have people who are much more. Live your life while also saving a little bit and doing. You have everybody go about different things based on what you. And that's where it goes back to. If you find a financial advisor that understands your position, then they can help you.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. Like, I even think my buddy that I grew up with.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, you got a buddy. You have the weirdest phone numbers in your phone of, like, your entire life.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Why is that weird?

[Morgan Hughes]

I. I have them too, but I think about all the phone numbers I have in my phone, and I don't talk to half of them anymore because I don't even know who they are.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. So my buddy DJ Allen?

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That I grew up with. I guess he's a financial advisor.

[Morgan Hughes]

Why don't you talk to him?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Do you know how weird it would be to go to your friend since you were little kids and be like, hey, bro, take a look at my money? What?

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, but that's somebody you trust that you know.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I know, but that's like, whoa, man.

[Morgan Hughes]

And it is scary, but it is somebody you know. So there might be a little bit more invested in you and hoping that you succeed.

[NBC News Announcer]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's a little weird, though, man. Then he's like, oh, here you have this much money you have?

[Morgan Hughes]

I thought I was pretty distressing, but I think you win.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, when it comes to money, I ain't trying to get my money away way I am the most frugal individual.

[Morgan Hughes]

I feel that I'm pretty, and I

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

ain't trying to give anybody my money.

[Morgan Hughes]

I get it. I get it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like, I was wearing it.

[Morgan Hughes]

But you had to make more money. You got to make your money work for you.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I agree. It needs to work. Work, work, work. That's like, I was wearing some Nighthawk shirt the other day. I was playing golf.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Yes.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And the guy's like, oh, what are the Nighthawks, man? I was like, I don't know. It's a free shirt. He goes, oh. I was like, yeah. I was in North Dakota, and someone gave that to me. He goes, oh, okay. And I said, I'm cheap. He goes, no, you're frugal.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

You are.

[Morgan Hughes]

You are frugal. I get it. It's a good thing to be, especially in this economy.

[Karen Kilgariff]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I mean, I can't. Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

Anyways, does your wife have a job to pay for her half of everything? People are really invested in your finances, man.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

People want to not be all up in my money. Why? Everybody wants to know, but, see, this is what I mean. This is why I'm so weird about money. Everybody wants to know about your dang money. Like, money is everybody is a topic conversation. Like, I do not understand. But, I mean, I want to know about people's money, too.

[Morgan Hughes]

You ask when people come in, they're like, how much money you make?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Right?

[Morgan Hughes]

You ask the same thing.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like, I drive by places, and I'm just like, what the heck do they do for a living?

[Morgan Hughes]

Oh, those big houses, Big fancy houses.

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

Like, where'd you come from? Was that wealth you had or did you make that?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'm like, is that from your parents or is that like, did you do something? Did you, like, invent a freaking water bottle? That Went like crazy. And now it sells a million pieces every time, you know, I have no idea. Like, it's just very. I'm telling you. Isn't it weird how everybody says, oh, money's not important, but you know what? Everybody cares about your money. They want to know about your money and your neighbor's money and their money down the street and his money and her money. Everybody cares about money. But everybody says, oh, who cares about money? But then all you want to talk about is, man, look at all that money. It's wild, isn't it? It's wild.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

It is.

[Morgan Hughes]

It's definitely culture here too. For sure. I think you go other places and it's not as much a topic of conversation really, you know, depending on where you go. Yeah, you have a lot of people who would rather nap and sit by the water all day and go fishing and hang out and they don't care.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I feel like there's some people like that here, but.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, but it's definitely more of it. We have a very fast paced drive culture. Like succeed, succeed, succeed culture, which is not a bad thing. But it's definitely a culture here.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, it's really weird.

[Morgan Hughes]

Think about going to Scotland.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They didn't care about money.

[Morgan Hughes]

Exactly.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They were chill. Let me tell you, that place was awesome.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's what I'm saying. You go to other places in the world and it's just not. I think it's really here. Are you choking?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I had a burp and I was trying to keep it in.

[Morgan Hughes]

You look like I was about to do that.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I thought I was gonna burp out loud.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay, now he's yawning.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And so I was like, oh, I'm trying to hold it in. Try to hold it in. And I. And I held it in. I was like, all right, good. And then you try to say I was choking. I was like, no, I'll just try not to burp on the.

[Morgan Hughes]

You know, I don't think he's going to answer that question. So we'll go to the next one. Will Lunchbox be okay with fans referring to him as Daniel on the cruise next year? What is your preference?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, you will. You will be banned. I will not talk to you if you say that. That's it.

[Morgan Hughes]

I do really feel like if you approach him on the cruise and say that, he'll just look at you and walk away.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, 100% I'll ignore you.

[Morgan Hughes]

Like, I really feel like that's going to happen.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. So if you want to play games, play Games.

[Morgan Hughes]

You've been warned.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

What is the most valuable lesson you want your kids to learn from you? That's from Mike.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, the most valuable lesson. I'll have fun. That's it. Everything should be fun. Like, don't stress. Like, that's the number one thing in the world is just have as much fun as you can. Because you only get a certain amount of years, certain amount of time. And if you ain't having fun, then you're doing something wrong. You're worrying about the wrong stuff. Because when you're. Hopefully you're, you know, 160 years old and you're getting older and you know, aren't people aren't gonna be like, oh, you know, are you glad you worked more? Are they gonna be like, man, aren't you glad you had so much more fun? Like, fun is the number one most important thing in the world. That's it. That's all I care about. That's all I want them to do.

[Morgan Hughes]

Based on you. We should all go to Scotland then.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Those people are awesome.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Go out.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They're so cool, man. They were so freaking nice. It was so. And it was so beautiful. Like, here's the thing. Growing up, I never even realized you could go over to those places. Like, I had no idea. No idea. And now that I've been a couple times, like, that was so beautiful.

[Morgan Hughes]

It's crazy. What exists, exists outside of our world. Yeah, our world meaning like we live here in the States. So.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. And what's crazy is so we flew to London and I still can't get over this. It's almost been a year. It was cheaper to fly to London than it is to fly to Austin, Texas. How is that? Explain it to me.

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't know. I mean, nothing about flight prices. Especially now. Flight prices have become kind of a monopoly with all of the different ones than the small ones now no longer existing. Which sucks. But I don't know. I have no idea. Nothing about it makes sense to me.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But how can they price it? Where you're flying over an ocean and you pay $450 and you fly to Austin, you're going to pay a thousand dollars. That doesn't make sense.

[Morgan Hughes]

I guess it's inflation based on where most people are going. Maybe most people weren't going to London and more people were flying to Austin. So they think it's more of a. They can get more of a jacked up price out of it at that particular moment for some reason.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's so weird.

[Morgan Hughes]

It is weird, but it is crazy. Like, if you. If you really think about people are like, well, it's cheaper to do stuff here in the States. And that's not always the case. If you can actually, like, there's a. There's an Instagram here in Nashville. It's bna. Cheap flights. And she posts cheap flights everywhere all the time.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Really?

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

And it is the coolest thing to think that you go to Japan for 600.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Exactly.

[Morgan Hughes]

Wild. But you do have to be a

[Guest or Listener]

little bit of a.

[Morgan Hughes]

Like, gotta be able to go jump on it and do things. Which I get.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But now I will say that, like, that is. That's just wild to me. It's just like. Because everybody's like, oh, my God, I had to be so expensive. It was $450. Like, that is so wild.

[Georgia Hardstark]

It is.

[Morgan Hughes]

If you can plan it out and you can be watching flights and stuff, it can be cheap. I get it. Okay. That's a good lesson. I like that one.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. And it's a great lesson.

[Morgan Hughes]

When the heck will you get a car for yourself? Is a different Mike from Michigan.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, Mike from Michigan, man. Respect. I'm hoping for one of these Giving Tuesdays that I'm going to get a car. Like, I think. I think that's what the buildup is. I think Bobby is working towards that. Like, he's doing all this for other people, and then he's going to drop that. That bomb on us, and it's going to be pretty cool.

[Morgan Hughes]

What if the bomb never gets dropped?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, I mean, no. As long as Giving Tuesday is, there's hope.

[Morgan Hughes]

Oh, you think it's gonna happen on one of those?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, Yeah. I think the last Giving Tuesday is like, I didn't check my DMs. You know what I mean? There's someone that's been sitting in this room that really needs something, and then, boom, gets me.

[Morgan Hughes]

You really think that's what's gonna happen?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

You're a little Delulu. I like that for you. But, yeah, I don't think that's what's gonna happen when it doesn't happen.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't know. I don't know. That's a good question.

[Listener or Guest]

Okay.

[Morgan Hughes]

There's no backup plan?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No. No backup plan. I haven't really thought about that. I haven't really thought about that. I started once it's Giving Tuesday. I started jumping on that, like, oh, that sounds kind of cool. This is what we're doing now.

[Morgan Hughes]

Well, you might have to be a little nicer for Giving Tuesday if you would like to get something out of Giving Tuesday?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, not necessarily. It doesn't seem to be. It seems to be like if you want just luxury goods, you can ask for it and he gives it to you.

[Morgan Hughes]

What if he bought you something from Facebook Marketplace for like a grand?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Man, if it works.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay, I'm just seeing where the line is here.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Where your imagination is. No, no, I was thinking brand new.

[Morgan Hughes]

Oh, you a brand new free car. Yeah, I see. I see.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

Well, I hope for your sake that happens.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Thank you.

[Morgan Hughes]

But I do think you should also come up with a backup plan.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay.

[Morgan Hughes]

Just protect yourself there. All right, we're gonna take one more break and be right back.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, that was all the questions.

[Morgan Hughes]

That was the questions. But we're going.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, there was a question you didn't get to.

[Morgan Hughes]

I know. You wrote in a question for yourself from your Not Burner account.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

And it was like, isn't he the best?

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Or something.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Why is he so awesome?

[Morgan Hughes]

And you call yourself Jim from Jersey.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, Jim from Jersey. It's just called genetics, man. Thanks, Jim, for writing in. I really appreciate it. Just born this way, natural. And my parents did a great job raising me because they are the all stars. And they're like, dude, you are great. And I'm.

[Georgia Hardstark]

You're great.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And you're like, oh, you're great. And it was like, I just. Great.

[Morgan Hughes]

So is Jim another one of your. All three ghosts?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Nah, just wanted to have that alliteration right there.

[Morgan Hughes]

Jim from Jersey.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I hope to meet Jim from Jersey one day. Jim, thanks for being a big fan, man. Stop being so awesome.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay, well, now we're gonna take a break and we'll be right back.

[Karen Kilgariff]

I turned off news altogether.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I hate to say it, but I

[Morgan Hughes]

don't trust much of anything.

[Fidelity Advertiser]

It's the rage bait.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

It feels like it's trying to divide people.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

We got clear facts. Maybe we can calm down a little.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Give us examples.

[Karen Kilgariff]

I know they do get along intellectually and in fact she helps him design a faster plane. She takes a look at what he's designed. It's got these square wings and she's like, that doesn't make sense.

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

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

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

[Morgan Hughes]

All right, we're going through the top three segments from the show this week. And speaking of giving Tuesday, it's coming in at the number three spot. Why are you laughing?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, something funny is happening.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay, well, in the number three spot is giving Tuesday. Do you have the number three?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's the third best thing we did this week.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, you got in.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, my God. No, I've got. No comments.

[Karen Kilgariff]

Comment.

[Listener or Guest]

No comment.

[Morgan Hughes]

But you just wanted a car and now you're talking about giving Tuesday, and you don't want to comment on it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It's ridiculous. Ridiculous. People don't love it.

[Morgan Hughes]

Why is it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I think people hate us?

[Morgan Hughes]

That's a jump. Okay, well, why. Why do you feel that way?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I think people hate it. I think they're like, all right, cool. You know, someone else gets to go to camp. Oh, yeah, Guess what? I never went to camp. Like, why are we just sending all these people to camp? It's cool.

[Morgan Hughes]

Is it the little green monster you got going on?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

What green monster?

[Morgan Hughes]

The little jealous monster. You never heard of the green monster?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I have. That's in Fenway.

[Morgan Hughes]

That is one green monster.

[Guest or Listener]

Yes.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. No, there's no jealousy whatsoever. It's just. It's. Do you.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

Maybe.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Maybe I don't explain it well enough. Maybe I don't explain it well enough. But do you guys understand when I say what I'm saying? Do you guys understand my point?

[Morgan Hughes]

Are you talking to me or are you talking to the listeners?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

To everybody? Like, do I not make sense? When I say, listen, if someone needs help with medical bills, keeping their lights on, you know, a repair on their car because they can't get to work. Totally. Okay. Whatever buyer wants to help. But when a family is going to Disney World, right, And then they also want to Go to Nintendo World. But they can't afford Nintendo World. What are we doing? Do you want. Do you understand? What I'm saying is, like, I hear you. Like, okay, maybe you're not meant to go to Nintendo World. You're already going to Disney World. So sorry, you don't have the extra 5,000 to go to Nintendo World. Like, what?

[Morgan Hughes]

I hear you, and I think there's some validity in what you're saying. But also with where we're at right now, I think people just need a little bit of extra joy. And sometimes that extra joy is coming from those things.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But Disney World should provide that joy. If you don't get enough joy out of going to Disney World, then you need to, you know, go to a doctor.

[Morgan Hughes]

I hear you.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And Nintendo World ain't gonna change your

[Morgan Hughes]

life, but some people would love to. Okay, you'd love to supply your kids with going to the World cup game, right? Insane amount of money say you have.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But did I do it? No. Why? You know why? You know why? Because it's too expensive.

[Morgan Hughes]

You didn't. But if you could, like, say you had $15,000 to do it, but you needed an extra 3,000 that you just don't have. But you were like, then I can't do it. You're right. But if somebody was willing to pay for that.

[Georgia Hardstark]

But that's.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But that's. That's not.

[Morgan Hughes]

And somebody was willing to pay for

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

it, but that's not what it's.

[Morgan Hughes]

Would you go?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That is. That is not how it's supposed to be. Like, that's what I'm saying. Like, oh, man. Like, hey, you don't have it. That means we can't go. If you really want something, go work for it. Not.

[Morgan Hughes]

It's just, I hear you, but also

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

right now, new basketball shoes. Like, get out of here. Like, what are we doing?

[Morgan Hughes]

You say, go work for it, but working for everything just keeps getting more and more expensive. Right? Like, used to be, going to Disney was $25 a day. Now it's $175 a day per person. Things are crazy. And so it's made things not accessible to other people. And so I think if there's an opportunity that somebody's willing to help with something like that, then it helps, you know? And that's it. That's an advantage. But I get the validity of your point. I don't think it's not valid.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, like, oh, my son.

[Morgan Hughes]

But I think both can be true.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

My son is 12. He wants $160 pair of shoes for basketball. Well, tell your son he's an idiot. Like, what are we doing?

[Morgan Hughes]

I hear you, but I think both can be true. In. In this current state of the economy that we're in right now, both are true.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I mean, it's just like, you got to teach your kid that you don't need $160 pair of shoes to play basketball. So my dad did. Trust me. I was like, oh, my God, I need Jordans. He's like, okay, yeah, right. And guess what? I still, to this day, I've never had a pair of Jordans, so. And I'll never buy a pair of Jordans, because that's just it. Now I realize how crazy it is there.

[Morgan Hughes]

All right, hey, you get. You gotta feel how you feel.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

All right, what's number two?

[Morgan Hughes]

And both are true, but we gotta play this bit, so here we go.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Number three.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's go over to Jana in Mississippi, who's on the phone right now. Jana.

[Listener or Guest]

Hello?

[Bobby Bones]

Good morning.

[Listener or Guest]

Hey, good morning.

[Bobby Bones]

What's happening?

[Listener or Guest]

Oh, nothing. Just driving, about to do some doordash.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's all. What are you delivering right now? Like, from what restaurant?

[Listener or Guest]

Oh, well, now, I haven't turned it on yet. I want to get to the right spot first.

[Bobby Bones]

Where do you live in Mississippi?

[Listener or Guest]

I live in central Mississippi, so I try to stay in Jackson.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so is there, like, a central place in Jackson that you go to and then turn it on and know that you're pretty close to all the restaurants?

[Listener or Guest]

Yes, like North Jackson, where there's, you know, Chili's and Applebee's, and.

[Bobby Bones]

And then if you get to the restaurant and they're slow, does that irritate you? Because, you know, the person at home waiting thinks that you're the slow one.

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah, because. But. But thankfully, doordash lets you give them a reason why they're waiting. So you can tell them, like, hey, it's because it wasn't started until I got there, or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, interesting. And do you ever take a little snack for yourself?

[Listener or Guest]

I usually end up buying me something with some of the money I made on the door desk.

[Ebglis Medication Announcer]

Good answer.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty funny. That's pretty funny. Well, what can I do for you, Jana?

[Listener or Guest]

I was calling about the Tuesday given thing. I know that I don't listen live often. I usually have to listen to the podcast, and last time you said you weren't sure if you were still going to do it, and I just wanted to encourage you to not let meanies, you know, bring you down.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, this is What I'll say, I appreciate the call. And so later on I'll talk about. I don't know. This may be the last week, I don't know, of giving Tuesday. But when I go into my DMs and I look for people to help now, there's equally as many people yelling at me because I haven't helped them yet. And so what's turned into a place for me to go to kill the negativity. Because my DMs were a place I didn't like to go because it was so negative. I thought, what if I can just create. Cultivate this place in my DMs where people would be like, hey, I could

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

use a little help.

[Bobby Bones]

Then I could help them, and then we'd all benefit. But now a lot of the messages are from people that I didn't see their message the last time. And so now they're calling me names because it didn't help them. So now it is created. Maybe it's even more negative than it was before I started weird, which is kind of a bizarre thing. So I'm gonna do some more. Coming up. I got a few more. And I really gotta have a come to Jesus with myself because it worth it. Let me work it. I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it.

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'll share them in just a second, but I really appreciate you calling, Janet.

[Listener or Guest]

Okay. You're welcome. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

And you say keep going.

[Listener or Guest]

Yes, keep. I think you should keep going, definitely. Because it's like a really cool thing you do.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, I hope.

[Bobby Bones]

I hope you have an awesome day, and I hope you get 100 orders and they're all ready as soon as you get there.

[Listener or Guest]

Okay, thank you.

[Guest or Listener]

All right, bye.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

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

[Morgan Hughes]

All right, coming in, number two, spot Abby saw Taylor Swift.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

What?

[Georgia Hardstark]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

Hey, these are all based on numbers online, so you gotta. You gotta throw a fit with the listeners.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She saw it for one song.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah, but that was a huge deal. It was all over social media, everything about her showing my friend James that

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I play soccer with went and saw Taylor Swift. I mean, he paid $50 for a ticket.

[Morgan Hughes]

Like, it ain't like, hey, that's pretty cool. Did James have a good time?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So it was great. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.

[Morgan Hughes]

Like, all right, hey, Taylor Swift popping up at a concert that you weren't initially expecting is pretty cool.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay. All right.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's the biggest pop star in the world, and she shows up in Nashville For a show, and people lift it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I mean, it's obvious she's going to be there. Her dude is there.

[Morgan Hughes]

Not necessarily. Her dude's been at a lot of other places she hasn't showed up where. He does a lot of those. He does a lot of live podcasts. He's showing up all over the place. And she's at different stuff. She's got stuff going on, too.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay.

[Morgan Hughes]

You know.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

That's your thoughts.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Go ahead. I mean, wow.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay, we're going to play this bit

[Bobby Bones]

number two, Abby saw Taylor Swift last night, which I saw her Instagram story. That's how I knew Taylor Swift was in town. Was Abby at the concert? How'd you get to the concert?

[Guest or Listener]

That was crazy. Well, my friend, she texted me yesterday. She's like, you want to go to this with me? Because it was like, the tight ends and friends.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So in Nashville, there's basically three tight ends that started it. George Kittle plays for the Titans. 49ers.

[Listener or Guest]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Travis Kelsey plays for the Chiefs. Correct. Greg Olson played for the Titans.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

No.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Go Titans.

[Boost Mobile Advertiser]

Twice.

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No, Panthers. Panthers. And they basically started. It was really small, a little camp where all the tight ends, college and NFL, they get invited and come here to Nashville. And so now it's turned into not just them working out, but music and fun. So did you have to buy tickets? Where was the show?

[Guest or Listener]

So it was at the pinnacle, which is right down from us. But no, she was put on the list. Her cousin, like, works for the production company.

[Bobby Bones]

So you get there, they put it on, who performs?

[Guest or Listener]

Oh, man. It was like, Nate Smith, Dan and Shea, Mitchell, Tenpenny John party.

[Bobby Bones]

Just people hopping out, doing a couple songs.

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So did everybody thought Taylor would show up? Right. Because she did last year.

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah. And, like, people throughout the night were like, hey, who's a Swifty in here? So, like, they were throwing hints at it.

[Bobby Bones]

Who was. People from the stage.

[Guest or Listener]

Yes.

[Fidelity Advertiser]

Oh.

[Guest or Listener]

Huh.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Guest or Listener]

And I was like, okay, well, that's weird. But, yeah, she. Well, Lainey was the last one that came out and sang because. Oh, my gosh. Why am I drawing a blank? Kane Brown. He was gonna come, but he got hit by a golf ball.

[Starbucks Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you see his ear?

[NBC News Announcer]

He did what?

[Bobby Bones]

He got wrecked. He got hit by a golf ball. And he. Taylor came out last year when Kane was performing. And then Kane posted an Instagram story yesterday. He's like, I thought I was dead. And a golf ball nailed him in the side of the head and, like, tore up his Ear.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

So he didn't perform. So Laney was the final act?

[Guest or Listener]

Yep. Lainey came out, she did a few of her songs, and then she was like, I want to bring out a special friend of mine.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they start screaming right then?

[Guest or Listener]

Yes, it was. It was very loud, and, like, the crowd was very, like, calm the whole night until, like, this moment. And then all phones were out.

[Bobby Bones]

And then Taylor Swift came out and did.

[Guest or Listener]

She did Love Story. And that was pretty amazing because during the part, you know, where it's, like, pulled out a ring and said she, like, you know, showed her ring. It was awesome.

[Listener or Guest]

That's cool.

[Kalpen (Kal Penn)]

Did the car go?

[Guest or Listener]

Ah, yeah, they did freak out. It was really cute.

[Listener or Guest]

Was it just the engagement ring, Abby, or was there a wedding ring part of it.

[Guest or Listener]

Well, my eyes aren't that great to see if there was another ring, but it was huge.

[Bobby Bones]

What time did you get home?

[Guest or Listener]

About 11:30. It's a late night.

[Bobby Bones]

What time did Taylor go on and do her song?

[Guest or Listener]

I think. I mean, it was about 11:15. It was right before it ended. She just did one song, and then after that, it was done. I left right after her.

[Bobby Bones]

Was everybody kind of, like, do one more?

[Guest or Listener]

Not really, no. Because she just kind of walked off, and everybody knew she was just gonna do one because she. I think she. I mean, she didn't try to make it about herself, you know, she just, like, came out to do one song, and it was like, okay, thanks, guys. Thanks, Nashville.

[Bobby Bones]

And that has to be the final song because imagine having to do a song if you're Lainey after Taylor does a song.

[Karen Kilgariff]

That's a good point.

[Bobby Bones]

You just shut it down when Taylor's done. Good night, everybody.

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah, it was really cool.

[Bobby Bones]

You went though thinking Taylor would show up.

[Guest or Listener]

I knew she was gonna be there because her. My friend's cousin said she was like, they are back there. There's a green room for them.

[Fidelity Advertiser]

Them.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, if they know so much. Did your friend's cousin know when the wedding is?

[Guest or Listener]

No, she didn't know that much.

[Listener or Guest]

That's what I texted my friend that was there, and I was like, does she have a wedding band on?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. I didn't think about you.

[Guest or Listener]

Nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

You too psychotic? Yeah, folks.

[Listener or Guest]

No. It's been a big mystery on the show. And then because Lunchbox thinks they're.

[Bobby Bones]

It's been a big mystery.

[Listener or Guest]

No, it hasn't.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

In our lives.

[Bobby Bones]

We've mentioned it a couple times.

[Listener or Guest]

We've been talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't walk around with where the

[Listener or Guest]

wedding's gonna be and Then Lunchbox thinks they're faking it, right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yep. Still. Still after all this time.

[Bobby Bones]

Fun show.

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah, it was really cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Who was the best?

[Guest or Listener]

Oh, ma'. Am.

[Bobby Bones]

Who sounded the best?

[Guest or Listener]

Lainey. I mean, Lainey did sound really good.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they use the same band?

[Guest or Listener]

Uh huh. So it was six Wire. They do a lot around Nashville. They're always like a house band.

[Bobby Bones]

So the artist would pop in and do a couple songs.

[Guest or Listener]

That makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's fun.

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah, it was really cool.

[Bobby Bones]

That was my breaking news. When I saw Abby's Instagram.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Pretty cool.

[Bobby Bones]

And saw Taylor Swift out singing a song.

[Guest or Listener]

I tried to go viral. Not just that video, I took.

[Morgan Hughes]

I never go viral.

[Bobby Bones]

You mean the same video that 5,000 other people took Right there, right?

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

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

[Karen Kilgariff]

I turned off news altogether.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I hate to say it, but I

[Morgan Hughes]

don't trust much of anything.

[Fidelity Advertiser]

It's the rage bait.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

It feels like it's trying to divide people.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

We got clear facts. Maybe we could calm down a little.

hi, it's Karen in Georgia from my favorite Murder.

[Karen Kilgariff]

We cruised around LA in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and dove into the fascinating life of actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Want the full story?

[Karen Kilgariff]

Take a listen, Hedy. She starts dating Howard Hughes, the aviation tycoon. Do you know a lot about him?

[Georgia Hardstark]

I mean, I watch the Aviator, so I know everything Leonardo DiCaprio has allowed me to know about him. But incredible innovator, right?

[Karen Kilgariff]

She says he's a, quote, very strange man. But they do get along really well.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Give us examples.

[Karen Kilgariff]

They do get along intellectually and in fact, she helps him design a faster plane. She takes a look at what he's designed. It's got these square wings and she's like, that doesn't make sense. And so she finds the fastest bird and the fastest fish and sketches out a drawing of like what the two would look like as a plane. And that becomes the plane that we know today. And he calls her a genius. Check out our new episode spotlighting groundbreaking innovators like Hedy Lamarr and Billie Jean King.

[Morgan Hughes]

all right, in the number one spot, Amy's daughter wants to audition for Love Island.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Man, our we're in trouble.

[Morgan Hughes]

These are your top three.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

Did you think you should have? What do you think from this week about. You should have made it in the top three spots.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'll be honest.

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't know what we've done this week exactly there. These were the three that had the most traction on social media. That's what I have to roll with.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I mean, where is. Where is the Amy getting her money? I mean, where was that?

[Morgan Hughes]

Oh, that was in last week, and it was in part two, and I only do from the main radio show.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, yeah. That should be number one for about a month.

[Morgan Hughes]

That was good. It was really good. I mean, but we're also in the wrong week now.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't.

[Morgan Hughes]

Honorable mention.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, we don't need an honorable mention. Crab. I don't want. I don't want a participation trophy. I just. I don't know. What else did we do this week?

[Morgan Hughes]

I know I have to limit it to the radio show because we have so much going on that that's the only thing that most people are missing the full segments from. So that's what I'm trying to catch them up on is the radio show. A lot of them are listening to part two.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no. I think people miss part two, so I think you should pull bits from that. I think you got it backwards.

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't know. I really think most people are listening to the part two full podcast and then they miss the radio show.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I would disagree.

[Morgan Hughes]

I don't know. That's what I'm seeing. So the numbers are saying, ah, man, people love a part two.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, and.

[Morgan Hughes]

And then we also have. Tell me something good. I can't pull from that.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I guess people that are downloading this probably download the other podcast. The people that don't download this are probably the people that listen live.

[Guest or Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

And so they're not. You see what I'm saying? Now you're getting it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Maybe that makes sense.

[Morgan Hughes]

Our podcasters are really paying attention to those.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Yeah, like.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like Mary from Maryland, you know, when she's driving to work, she listens in her car alliterations, but that's all she listens to. So she wouldn't download this anyway.

[Morgan Hughes]

Potentially.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, no. I'm saying, like, if she only listens in her car on the way to work.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She probably only listens to Live True. Got it.

[Morgan Hughes]

Or if they're seeing their car on the way to work, they only get to catch one or two segments from the radio show.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's what I'm saying.

[Morgan Hughes]

And so if they want to catch up on the radio show, so that's the purpose of this?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They don't go download. Okay.

[Morgan Hughes]

But if they just want to listen to part two, they can just go listen to part two at any time.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Right, Right. No, I get that. I get that.

[Morgan Hughes]

Okay, so. But you do get an honorable mention because that was a good one.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, that's. No, take it away. Take it back. We're not.

[Morgan Hughes]

But Amy's daughter does want to audition for a reality show. I think Lunchbox also is a little jealous of that if she gets to. Would you be jealous?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, because I can't really go on Love Island.

[Morgan Hughes]

True. But like, it's still a reality show.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. Love island went around when I was growing up.

[Morgan Hughes]

Would you have gone on Love Island?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No. I mean, that doesn't seem like that much fun. I mean, I guess you make out, but you don't really drink. I don't really. I don't. And you just sit around, do nothing. Like at least real world, you're out doing stuff.

[Morgan Hughes]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Road rules. You're doing stuff. Survivor, you're doing stuff.

[Morgan Hughes]

You want activities?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. I'm not really a sit around person.

[Jacob Goldstein]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't really like the beach.

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

I'm not a huge fan. I'm a mountain lake girl vibe.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. So I get it.

[Morgan Hughes]

Well, this is a number one spot this week.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

Number one.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you let your kid go on a reality show? And I'm not asking that just as a, you know, just a random question. Amy's daughter has expressed interest in going on a reality show.

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah. She came into my room and she was looking dead serious. She's like, mom, I want to go on Love Island. No.

[Bobby Bones]

How old are people that go on Love Island?

[Listener or Guest]

Not ever. My daughter's age. Ever.

[Bobby Bones]

So no matter what, her age is.

[Listener or Guest]

Correct.

But you can't stop her.

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Because she's now 19.

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah. I mean, you can't stop her from.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike. When you look at the young age of people on Love island, you have to be at least 18, but they take mid 20s to early 30s. Do they take any 19 year olds at all? It just says you have to be 18 years old to apply.

[Listener or Guest]

Right. But that's not happening.

[Bobby Bones]

No chance.

[Listener or Guest]

No chance. But good luck. Like with other things in life.

[Starbucks Advertiser]

She can.

[Listener or Guest]

She can.

She could. I don't want to not be supportive. That's just not the direction we will support for these college years. So she wants to go to trade school. If she wants to go to college, whatever. We're willing to support that if she wants to go do that.

You mean financially?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Should Amy let her daughter go on Love Island?

[Listener or Guest]

Eddie? I think the answer is no. Like, you gotta let her know that you don't want her to do that. But she could do that. And if she does do that, then, yeah, we can't help you financially for the next few years.

[Bobby Bones]

But if she goes on and then comes back and was like, that was a mistake. I'm sorry. Can I be back?

[Listener or Guest]

I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy.

[Listener or Guest]

I know that sucks.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Listener or Guest]

You gotta stand your ground.

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She's 19. Yes. Would you let her go on Big Brother? I mean, it's the same.

[Listener or Guest]

That's different.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, they hook up on Big Brother.

[Listener or Guest]

They do?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but not as much. Love island is about hooking up. Big Brother is just a lot of people in the room. Some of them just fall.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. Love Island's about finding love. And so if you want your daughter to go out there and date and, like, this is a way. And it could catapult her career into other reality shows and being an influencer. Absolutely. She's 19 years old. You say, hey, girl. If you got it, get it.

[Listener or Guest]

Yeah, I get that. A lot of people are entertained by Love island, and I think that that's what she's seeing. Like, I don't think she wants to go and. Because it's about guys or, like, I. I actually don't know what it is about. I. I was perplexed, and I was like, you can't be serious. And then I had to start really thinking, like, what if she were to. To submit an application? And what if she were to get chosen?

[Bobby Bones]

You can't stop her.

[Listener or Guest]

What did we do? I know.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm with you. Under this roof, we have certain rules. Rule one, no Love Island. Did she really want to do it?

[Georgia Hardstark]

I don't know.

[Listener or Guest]

It came. I was shocked by it.

[Morgan Hughes]

But her.

[Guest or Listener]

Her.

[Listener or Guest]

Her face was just sort of. She wasn't like, oh, Love Island. That would be fun. She came in and she said it, and she looked at me with the serious look. And I didn't really know how to react because I didn't want to. I just wanted to handle it with sensitivity because I've watched it before. I know a lot of her friends, a lot of young people are obsessed with that show, and they do watch it. So I. I don't want to be, like, a hypocrite where I can be entertained by something, but then I don't want to let her go do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's okay. To be entertained and not. Yeah, that's not a hypocrite.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Okay, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you're not all their moms.

[Morgan Hughes]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure.

[Listener or Guest]

And it's my job as her mom to protect her.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Listener or Guest]

And we don't need to go do that.

[Bobby Bones]

The Bachelor.

[Listener or Guest]

That one I would feel better about than Love Island. I don't feel great about it, but I feel better than Love Island.

She'd have to be older for the Bachelor, right?

What is the age for Bachelor?

[Bobby Bones]

What about Bachelor Teen?

[Listener or Guest]

No, that'd be crazy.

No, no.

[Karen Kilgariff]

If that.

[Morgan Hughes]

If that's a thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Would love that show.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

He loves these teens

are hooking up.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

He loves teens hooking up.

[Morgan (Best Bits Host)]

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

[Morgan Hughes]

And that's it for us. Lunchbox. Thanks for joining.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, man, I'm a little sad.

[Morgan Hughes]

Why?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Because I thought, you know, on a Saturday that Scuba would be here.

[Morgan Hughes]

I saw him outside of the door. I did. And I'm really proud of him for saying outside of the door instead of inside of the door.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I can't believe it bothers you that much.

[Morgan Hughes]

It doesn't bother me. It's. I get messages from listeners who are like, what? What is happening?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, not. Not one message. I get all these messages like, oh, my God, you did Scooper. Hilarious.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Do you.

[Morgan Hughes]

Do you know how to find your messages?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, not really.

[Morgan Hughes]

Exactly. So it's that. And it's also counterproductive. We only have so much time together in this room.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You can do as much time as you want.

[Guest or Listener]

That.

[Georgia Hardstark]

That's.

[Morgan Hughes]

We have to go do other things.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You're right.

[Morgan Hughes]

We have other.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. We got to get home to our families.

[Morgan Hughes]

Keep you all day on a Saturday.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You're right. And I. I mean, you try to, but I'm just like, oh, my God. But you lock the door, and I'm like, I gotta get out of here.

[Morgan Hughes]

I'm trying to be respectful of your time.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, yeah. Respect. R E, S P, C, T.

[Listener or Guest]

Oh, boy.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

R E S P, C, T. I'm

[Morgan Hughes]

proud of you for holding that in to the very end. Okay, we're gonna get out of here.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Isn't that how it goes? No, no, no, you did good. No, it's than it goes.

[Morgan Hughes]

You did the respect bargain.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan Hughes]

But we're going to get out of here now.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, man.

[Morgan Hughes]

Go listen to the Sore Losers podcast.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, Sore Losers podcast. And hey, man, if you've never been to our convention, we throw a convention every year.

[Morgan Hughes]

Are you guys doing it a lot? Because I can start doing.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, no. We. We say with Morgan Hughes.

[Georgia Hardstark]

Want the full story? Take a listen.

[Karen Kilgariff]

She starts dating Howard Hughes, and in fact, she helps him design a faster plane. So she finds the fastest bird and the fastest fish and sketches out a drawing of what the two would look like as a plane, and that becomes the plane that we know. And he calls her a genius. Check out our new episode spotlighting groundbreaking innovators like Hedy and Lamar and Billie Jean King.
