Episode Overview

This episode combines the show's trademark blend of listener interaction, playful debates, pop culture news, personal anecdotes, and relationship talk. Major themes include Amy's handling of a listener's disdain, behind-the-scenes awards show politics, awkward jokes about pregnancy, near-miss celebrity encounters, and navigating modern co-parenting with exes and public PDA. The tone, as always, is warm, humorous, occasionally irreverent, and grounded in real-life experiences of the cast.

[Caller/Nate]

Bobby bones, y'.

[Eddie]

All. Viagra could reverse some deafness in people. So Viagra was really only. Maybe the word's discovered, but was only discovered for its current use because it was a blood pressure medicine first, and then all of a sudden, it's ding dong medicine. And then now they're saying it may reverse a form of inherited, typically permanent kind of a sensory issue with your hearing loss. Medicine's wild, man.

[Amy]

Yeah, but so, like, say you really want to hear, then you deal with the other stuff, too.

[Eddie]

I don't know if they can counter something.

[Amy]

Right, but only for four hours, right?

[Eddie]

Well, no, you have to call the doctor if it's more than four hours.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, right, right, right.

[Eddie]

But with a lot of medicine, they can also put a counter inside of it. A counter? As in the opposite.

[Amy]

Oh, so, like, you'll still get the benefit, but it won't cause the other thing. Yeah, okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So you're saying it helps your hearing or hurts it?

[Amy]

It helps.

[Lunchbox]

Well, this is a miracle drug.

[Eddie]

It's a miracle from blood pressure.

[Lunchbox]

All of it, man.

[Eddie]

Ding dong hearing. It is the one. It's like a vitamin. Basically, we should take it every day as a vitamin. Researchers from the University of Chicago, University of Miami, and. And all these foreign institutions identified a mutation in a gene that disrupts a lot of crazy stuff for hearing and for your sensory with. With your ears. And that some of the parts in Viagra are what actually helps them develop. Develop from the deficiency.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Eddie]

It's crazy. Like I said, even penicillin was, you know, just a bunch of mold.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Mold.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And next thing you Know, it's even like with the COVID the vaccines, and they're finding that it was slowing cancer in folks. Like, I think that's going to be something now that is talked about, not for that purpose, but now they're learning that that vaccine has actually. They've seen people that were dealing with different types of cancer that. That actually slowed that process.

[Amy]

Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Hey, medicine man man.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Elon Musk is going to make more than every American elementary teacher combined. Kind of stupid story about that. I'd read the headline.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, that is kind of crazy.

[Eddie]

Tesla shareholders approved a $1 trillion pay package for Musk over the next 10 years. It averages a $100 billion payment per year. It's more than all American elementary teachers combined. That's from. That's from msn.

[Amy]

Just elementary. Like, gosh.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Hey, if he sets his goal high enough. That's a great point. If he sets his goals high enough, he can.

[Lunchbox]

Middle school.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Professors.

[Eddie]

Why?

[Amy]

Shoot.

[Eddie]

So, hello, Elon.

[Lunchbox]

I wonder what he's gonna do with all his money.

[Derek]

100 billion a year. A year?

[Eddie]

Yeah. I mean, but he owns the. He owns a part of the business, but. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That's crazy.

[Amy]

Yeah. Sit with that for a sec.

[Eddie]

I can't, because it.

[Amy]

To me, it's hard to process.

[Eddie]

Yeah. It's like when you think about how vast space is or how vast the ocean is. Oh, I don't want to get started, but I just watched.

[Amy]

Yeah, let's not get started.

[Derek]

Back the train up. Back it up. Put it back in the station.

[Eddie]

I watched a. Watched a really good documentary.

[Amy]

So pretty.

[Eddie]

I watched a really. I watched a really good documentary this weekend.

[Amy]

Sorry, sorry. Cardigan.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's a cardigan. Okay. Let me go over to Nate in St. Louis. Let's talk to him. Hey, Nate, you're on the show.

[Caller/Nate]

Hey, Bobby. Hey, studio.

[Eddie]

What's happening, buddy?

[Caller/Nate]

Just wanted to get on here and say thank you to you because you've really built my mom and my relationship over the years. We listen to your show every morning and we call each other and we always talk about the games and stuff and see how each other did. And this is a. Both a hit and miss. But it's funny because my mom is. Her favorite is Eddie and Lunchbox, and she despises Amy, but my favorite's Amy. So I just wanted to call and say thank you for always building our relationship and making it a fun morning for the both of us. And I know it was a while ago.

[Eddie]

Go ahead. Sorry, buddy.

[Caller/Nate]

I know it was a while ago, but I wanted to mention on one of your shows, you talked about moments that, like, people would never forget. And one of the moments I never forgot was my mom. We were always. I was a basketball player in high school, and there was this moment where she was like. She always cheers on, but she was a. She was like probably the most into it mother. And we won a very good rivalry that we've been trying to beat for years. And we were excited, but she was even more excited than the players. It felt like she started crying and everything. And you could just tell that moment of like a mother son bond over just a sport.

[Eddie]

That's cool. It's cool. That's like a core memory for you. Well, appreciate you listening, man. Despise is such a hard word.

[Amy]

It's really strong.

[Eddie]

It is. It is a hard word.

[Amy]

I'm open to feedback.

[Eddie]

I don't know if that feedback ever helps. If it's despised, I think you're beyond that.

[Amy]

Oh, there's nothing I can do.

[Eddie]

I don't really know if you can come back from. Yeah, because sometimes I despise.

[Amy]

I do get feedback at times and I try to work with it. Sometimes I feel misunderstood. But that's okay. I mean, sometimes, you know, you can click with everybody.

[Eddie]

You know, that's how you should feel. You just can't click with everybody.

[Amy]

But she despises. However, I'm his favorite, so it's like you kind of have to have both, Right?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Despise is such a hardcore word.

[Amy]

I know. It's sort of like she's not really a fan of Amy, but it was like she despises.

[Eddie]

Yeah. If she saw her in public, she'd probably stab her. That type thing. Did you hear about UAB football situation? So the day of the game on Saturday at University of Alabama Birmingham, one of the football players stabbed two other.

[Amy]

Football players on the same team.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Before the game, like earlier in the day.

[Amy]

So why?

[Eddie]

Why, from the reports that we read and we talked about, was a fight previously.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

And they still had the game. The guys didn't die.

[Amy]

Did they play?

[Lunchbox]

I don't think those three played.

[Derek]

No, they didn't play.

[Eddie]

No one went to jail. The two that got stabbed went to the hospital. But they did play the game.

[Amy]

Wow. I mean, yeah, there's a lot that goes into that. I under. You know, there's a lot that goes into a game.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And the guys. If the guys are gonna live, like, if they die starters.

[Eddie]

Right, Right.

[Lunchbox]

How important are they?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

If it's your main starters, cancel the game. But I mean, if they're gonna think.

[Eddie]

Because they were. Yeah, that's. That's my thing.

[Amy]

If they had. If it was like, you know what, like close to dying or. Dying, you cancel the game.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

That's terrible.

[Eddie]

Crazy story, huh?

[Lunchbox]

Did they win?

[Derek]

No, they got crushed.

[Eddie]

They have a interim head coach right now, too.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I only know it's Alex Mortensen because he's played Arkansas.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, really? Yeah. And it used to be Trent Dilfer.

[Eddie]

Who used to coach here in Nashville.

[Lunchbox]

Local high school.

[Eddie]

Local high school. And he stood us up for a podcast when he just never showed up.

[Amy]

Who's your coach now at Arkansas?

[Eddie]

That guy. But Pittman got fired. I know, but the other one, Petrino, is our interim.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Petrino, who's not Joe Paterno. I tell my wife that all the time. Oh, yeah. I'm like, joe Paterno's dead. He went. He was the Penn State guy.

[Lunchbox]

He's the one with the glasses.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

But like, on my Google News alerts or whatever, a lot of Petrino stuff pops up and I'm like, why?

[Sophie Cunningham]

Why?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

We're about to name a new coach, though.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Eddie]

You wanna know who it is?

[Lunchbox]

Do you know?

[Amy]

I won't know the person, so, sure.

[Eddie]

Tell me now if you don't. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Okay, you guys call us if you want. 87777. Bobby the Bo. Gonna run through some voicemails here.

[Caller/Nate]

Just had a question as to if you could give us any insight as far as Morgan Wallen's like, the biggest entertainer that probably country music has ever seen, and yet he wins no awards at the CMAs. Just kind of curious as to how.

[Lunchbox]

That is decided, as well as your thoughts on that. Thanks.

[Eddie]

It is not a fan vote. It is also not a vote where eight people get in a room and go, we think we're picking this person. It is an industry vote, but with thousands of people. So I have been very critical of the award so much so there was a two year span where I was for sure blackballed. Now, ACMs and I, we love on each other because I do that show. Reba's been the host, I've been her sidekick, and it's been awesome. What version do you want? The one that's probably the one that's gonna get me in trouble or the one.

[Lunchbox]

The real one.

[Derek]

The real version.

[Eddie]

Well, it's not reflective. Awards are never reflective of reality. But I would say that's normal life. I would even compare it to me doing Dancing with the Stars. Was I the best dancer? No, I wasn't.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

Right. But it's my relationship with the. With the. This is. That was a voting ward. But also the judges were half of it. American Idol, the best singer doesn't always win. In politics, the best policy person doesn't win. It's the person who's most magnetic to the people that are voting. The award shows are like that as well, where the industry, let's say it's 1,000 people, they're picking who they basically like. The best of the people that would be suggested for that award. And Morgan is obviously the biggest star in country music. I don't think anyone would argue that Morgan doesn't really go to the award shows. He has kind of said, hey, it's not for me. When he got in trouble earlier, they banned him. So he's kind of been like, ah, middle finger to it. And so I think there are people that are like, hey, he doesn't want it anyway, so why give him something he's not going to show up to? I think that's a part of it. And then also. And what's got me in trouble before is I don't. There's not really campaigning, but if you have a larger management company or you're on a larger label, there are more people that are voting for you if they can gather those votes, if they can strategically vote. And I'm not saying there's block voting, but there definitely are. Like, my management company is pretty big. It's called Red Light Management. It's probably the biggest in town. You know who else is on Red Light Management? Morgan, Lanie Wilson.

[Amy]

Oh, Lanie.

[Eddie]

Now, I'm not saying that's why, but I'm saying that definitely affects it a bit. Now, that being said, I've been Black Ball, It's Red light, get me off, get me off Black Ball labels. I think it's a multiple factors. Size of your label, size of your management, size of your agency. Those are three different things. I don't know who Lani's agent is. I would assume it's caa or there's like two or three big ones. Could be caa. She deserved to win, so I don't want to say she didn't. And it sucks for her because every time she wins, people like, where's Morgan Wallen? Part of that is Morgan not wanting. Not really wanting to do with it, anything to do with it, but it's just kind of a sensitive thing. I don't mind talking about it because I feel like at times I've been also the victim. I'm a victimize myself here of similar type situations. But what's her agent, Mike?

[Lunchbox]

Wme.

[Eddie]

Okay, so that's the two big ones, CAA and wme. UTA would be a pretty big one, too. But all of those are factors. Nobody's blackballed. Morgan's not blackballed. It's a thousands of people voting for it. It's not like a little group of people that are going, we don't like somebody, so we're not going to let them. Morgan is the biggest star in country music, though. Would you all agree?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

He sells out stadiums from multiple nights. But Morgan also has not shown that he wants to be a part of it. So I think that probably has people go, ah, we don't want to really pick somebody that doesn't want to be there. I think that's a part of it. So that is my subjective answer.

[Caller/Nate]

All right, number two, I was wondering, being a Die Hard Bronco fan, Abby, that was kind of disappointing. But if Bobby would let me, I would love to do some Bronco trivia to win that helmet for you. I would personally would love it, but I am willing to give her a second chance. Bobby, if you will, and I will do the vodka trivia for her. You want, let me know.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, he doesn't want the helmet.

[Eddie]

He wants to win it for her.

[Derek]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Interesting.

[Eddie]

Maybe near Christmas. Like, she had her chance.

[Lunchbox]

She did.

[Eddie]

And I didn't let her study. That was the point of it. If she's a fan. Because I could say, hey, Abby, I'm gonna give you a Cincinnati Bearcats because I have a college football helmet here from those guys. I know the coach. I give you this helmet in two days and she gets to study for two days. I didn't want her to study if she was a natural fan and she failed the test.

[Amy]

Oh, no, I am a natural fan. I love cheering for them.

[Eddie]

Yeah, sorry. Die Hard.

[Amy]

Oh, Die Hard.

[Eddie]

Yeah. No, you're more than a casual. No, no, no. You're more than a casual.

[Lunchbox]

How many. How many did she get? Right?

[Eddie]

It doesn't matter. But she is more than a casual.

[Amy]

Okay, thank you.

[Eddie]

Because her family's fans.

[Amy]

Yeah. I grew up around, if you're brought.

[Eddie]

Into it, you're more than a casual, even if you're not a Die Hard.

[Lunchbox]

So like my wife, she's. She. Guess she likes the Cowboys.

[Eddie]

No, she doesn't. Claim to be a Cowboys fan though. Okay. She actually probably cowboy hater. Like, get that off my TV again. Hit me with the next one.

[Caller/Nate]

My wife, she's eight months pregnant, bought.

[Eddie]

A big oversized red outfit, told her.

[Caller/Nate]

She looked like Santa Claus, and she is now upset at me trying to.

[Eddie]

Explain to her that she's eight months.

[Caller/Nate]

Pregnant and her being big is healthy at this point. And she's just being dramatic. What's your thoughts? Thanks, man.

[Lunchbox]

Bro, he done messed up.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, I get it. You were trying to make a joke. And probably. And I have a pregnant wife as well. Probably. That joke is hilarious. When she's not pregnant. Probably. Those types of jokes are awesome. Whenever she's not feeling a certain way about herself. And so you didn't mean it. There was nothing malicious about that. Except there are certain things you can't joke about now and you have to learn the hard way. That's the hard way. And I think now you won't do that anymore because you can't do that. And just a heads up to anybody who's about to get somebody pregnant or they're recently pregnant, no jokes like that.

[Lunchbox]

Nuh.

[Eddie]

Even if you think, oh, no, she's cool, we're cool. Because she might be, but she might not be. And it ain't worth it because it doesn't. You learned a lesson. You have perspective. Perspective is never given for free. You just earned your perspective, man. I don't think she's not being dramatic. Except she is. But you have the right to be dramatic when that's happening because your hormones are all out of whack. So that's not being dramatic.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, go ahead. Just don't think calling your girl Santa Claus ever is accepted.

[Derek]

I mean, he was trying to be funny.

[Eddie]

He was trying to be funny.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but like, ever. I would never say that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, I hear you.

[Amy]

You mean like pregnant or not?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because if she's not pregnant, there's another reason she looks like Santa Claus.

[Derek]

Well, maybe it's just an outfit. Maybe not. We're not maybe saying size like, I.

[Eddie]

Agree this was strictly pregnancy.

[Lunchbox]

This because she's bigger.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Derek]

And she had the red suit on.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. It's not funny.

[Derek]

Why'd you laugh?

[Eddie]

Because it was stupid of him. As a dude, you think you would know better. But again, if you have that relationship with someone and your wife and you're always like, picking at each other, I see where you can hop back into that pretty naturally without thinking about it. But now you have to be conscious of things that you used to do that you can't do because it may be interpreted in a way that's hurtful.

[Amy]

Could hit totally different.

[Eddie]

I've learned a lot myself. A guy, if I'm being honest. I've also learned a lot. So don't feel alone in this. But now you have perspective, and that's currency these days. All right, there you go. Thank you. Gwyneth Paltrow was at the Opry. I thought about you, Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, dude, I saw the picture. I couldn't believe she was in town.

[Amy]

What was she doing there?

[Eddie]

She was singing with Ashley Williams, I think.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Like two people. I don't know. Like, are they a duo or something?

[Eddie]

You didn't even see who she was there. Who cares who she was with? I think it was. When we can look. I think it was Ashley Williams, who is Hank Jr. S daughter.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, she knows her.

[Eddie]

I don't know. I'm not even for sure.

[Lunchbox]

Eddie just sounds familiar.

[Amy]

He just sees Gwyneth.

[Eddie]

Yeah, no, Eddie has a massive Gwyneth Paltrow crush. But what would you have done if you were there?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know, dude. I feel like my. My dream scenario is, like, we just hit it off and we just start talking about random things, you know, like, not movies, not that. Like, I want to talk about just random things with Gwyneth. How cool would that be? Just like, she's real into, like, Holly Williams.

[Eddie]

Yeah, sorry.

[Amy]

Like health. Mental health.

[Lunchbox]

She's really into that.

[Amy]

Wellness.

[Lunchbox]

Wellness, dude, whatever.

[Amy]

Like detoxing and one of those things.

[Eddie]

Where we talk for about an hour.

[Lunchbox]

And a half, and then all of a sudden she's like, oh, my gosh, I gotta go. It was so much fun talking to you. I'm like, same Gwyneth.

[Eddie]

There's this guy on TikTok, he does these how he thinks it'll turn out if he meets certain famous people. This reminds me of what Eddie's saying. And he's like, what I think would happen if I met Drake. And so there's no other person there, but he's like, hey, Drake, I just want to come by. Just say, big fan. I'm going to keep walking, let you do your thing. What's that? Nobody ever just walks by and says politely, they like your music, and then they keep going. You think that's refreshing? Oh, you mean to join your group? Oh, wow. Oh, you want me to get on the plane with you and we're going to go and, like, see. See different islands in the Caribbean. And, like, that's what that sounds like, from you.

[Lunchbox]

That's really funny. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Because I mean, if I just, like, saw her and like, oh, can I get a picture? And cool. That's it. That'd be kind of like. That'd be lame.

[Eddie]

No, but I mean, I've run into David Spade at a restaurant and I've told this story. I like David Spade. I think David Spade is, through his career, has done so many really fantastic things, from being on SNL to being a great writer, to be on a great standup. And I would love to hang out and ask him much questions. But he was eating, but he didn't have food in front of him yet. And I literally saw him and was walking by anyway, and I was like, hey, man, big fan. Just kept walking. And I told that story once and he, like, reposted, and he was like, perfect interaction.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Amy]

Nailed it.

[Lunchbox]

It worked.

[Eddie]

I want to bother him.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Cause I think, like, with Gwyneth, most people are just like, oh, my gosh, I loved you in this movie. Loved you in that movie. I love Goop. Whatever. I think I'd be like, how's Apple doing?

[Eddie]

There's a kid, I think his mom runs his account. Yeah. You ask about her kid. Dude, that's weird.

[Derek]

Yeah, that's weird.

[Lunchbox]

That's strange.

[Eddie]

But Apple's like, older now. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. It's just in college.

[Eddie]

It's just. Why do you know weird stuff? I don't know if she's in college.

[Lunchbox]

I think she's like that age because I think. Right.

[Eddie]

She's five' nine.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Remember when I ran into her at the grocery store? She was with her daughter.

[Lunchbox]

You know what? I think her call. She's here in college.

[Amy]

Nashville, one of the schools here.

[Lunchbox]

Is that right, Mike?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Derek]

She's 21.

[Amy]

Eddie's like, acting like he doesn't know, obviously.

[Lunchbox]

I really don't.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Class on Mondays.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Amy]

She's a psychology major.

[Lunchbox]

Would it be weird to ask her? Like, you know, funny you'd still talk to Chris at all.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You don't know her.

[Amy]

I mean, they co parent a little bit, so, yeah, I'm sure they talk.

[Eddie]

Even if I were sitting in an interview and I was interviewing her, I wouldn't ask her that question unless she had offered something that allowed me to go that direction to ask her that question. Even in a professional setting where you can ask questions, you can get far more intimate far quicker because that's what the environment. No, you can't ask.

[Lunchbox]

Can't go straight to Chris. Okay.

[Eddie]

You Knock on her Opry door. Hey, talk to Chris. What's your favorite Coldplay song? All that would be weird.

[Lunchbox]

The Opry is weird, though. Like there could be a huge celebrity there and you'll never. You'd never know. Like, I think, who do we see one time, Terry Bradshaw. And you guys had saw him and I'd never. I didn't see him the whole night. Vince. Vince Neil.

[Eddie]

Oh, Vince Neil.

[Lunchbox]

Vince Neil.

[Eddie]

Who sounds like Vince Gill?

[Lunchbox]

No, Vince Neil.

[Eddie]

Neil walked by. He is the lead singer of Motley Crue. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And they do leave all their doors open in the backstage so like you can walk around and look in there. But I would have lost it. I would have seen.

[Derek]

Yeah, but you are right, Eddie. She does attend Vanderbilt University where she is a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

[Amy]

Oh, we're sorority sisters.

[Lunchbox]

Too much info to get out there.

[Eddie]

Same. That same sorority.

[Amy]

Yeah. Oh, I was a kid. A and M, but.

[Eddie]

So she was in town then. Probably seeing her daughter or picking her daughter up. I don't know if you got to pick daughters up when you're that rich, you just get a plan and send them home. But. And then she went because she's a really good singer.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah. She was in that movie Duets with Huey Lewis.

[Amy]

I love that song.

[Eddie]

There's this kid on TikTok as mom runs his account. And it says it on his account. It says parent run account. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen because he has limitless videos of. You know how I talked about the kid who did the Drake thing? His is a little different, but it's like point of view. One of them is if I'm being abducted by. And he's like 13, but his mustache is a little too thick for a 13 year old. It's like that weird phase where kids start to get mustache and his is coming in hard. And just an example, before I play one of them, it's like if somebody comes to abduct me and he's like, he's got an accent. He's like, you want to abduct me? Okay, what's that? Oh, you think I'm too good looking to be abducted? Oh, chill, man. Stop glazing. But he does like a hundred of these and they are so funny. I'm going to play one of them now because I just watched one of them and now I get all of them. So this one is, I'm hijacking a plane, but everybody's glad they're getting abducted. Here you Go abducting this whole plane.

[Amy]

This whole plane's getting abducted. What was that? You didn't know they made kidnappers this attractive? You're cheering with the glazing, bro. Cheer. Cheers. What was that? You're all glad it was me kidnapping, and now you kind of want to stay with me. Yo, cheer. They glazing. So you all want to stay with me in the air forever? Yeah. You want to be with the great Captain Rapids. And Rapids, you're cheer.

[Eddie]

They're glazing.

[Amy]

So you all just want to stay with me. Oh, I wouldn't mind that.

[Eddie]

So it is one after the other, and it says parent owned and parent ran account. And he is just. It's so fun. Here's one. He's bowling. He's. He's a bowling pin at the. This is a kid. He's a bowling pin at the bowling alley. Okay, here you go.

[Amy]

What was that? Bowling ball. You didn't know a bowling pin was this Handsome. Yell, cheer at the glazing, bro. What was that? You gonna miss me on purpose so you don't hurt my face card, bro? Cheer with the glazing, bro. Well, what about the others? What was that? You're gonna hurt the others because they're not as handsome as me, bro. Chill with the glazing. What does chill with the glazing mean?

[Eddie]

So when you glaze somebody, it's like you're really, like, building them up, pouring it on, like, heavy compliments.

[Lunchbox]

Just saying, chill with glazing.

[Eddie]

I did, like, a hundred of these, and he just keeps coming up with chill with the glazing, bro.

[Lunchbox]

That's funny.

[Eddie]

He's good, and he's got. He's super viral. Millions and millions and millions of. Yeah. Hey, I saw Stevenson posting something about running on your Instagram story.

[Amy]

Yeah. So he got back from a run this weekend, and before the run, we were talking about, you know, doing something for the orphanage for Christmas, and we're still heavily involved there. Help monthly. And he's just like, well, I want them to have a really good Christmas. Like, maybe there's something I can do. And then when he got back from a run, he was kind of like, man, I. I did five miles. I wonder if I could go further. So then we started talking about, like, motivation to go further. And then he was like, yeah, what if I got donations? And that's what we did. So he's put together this run for this coming Saturday after Thanksgiving. So Thanksgiving Thursday. So then Saturday. And he's already recruited three of his friends to Come run with him. Like, they can't run 10 miles, but, like, if one of them runs two miles, another one runs one. And then their moms have gotten involved, and now their moms and I were all in a group text, and Stevenson went yesterday and made his. His route. So it's going to be a mile, like a mile loop. So that way every mile, he'll have a check in. And he plans on doing that 10 times. And at the check in, another mom texted. She's like, we should probably have orange slices and music. And so now it's kind of turning into a thing with his friends. And I think it's so cute. And his. His deal is, like, people can pledge. Like, you know, he was like a dollar a mile. Which, yeah, if a lot of people donated $10, that would add up for sure. But some people might be able to do $10amile. Whatever it is, he's gonna take pledges and then we'll put links up and he's gonna, like, carry my phone and run and, like, be talking and live streaming. And he's. He's nervous about making 10 miles because he's never run further than five. But he thinks that he can do it with the help of his friends. And then donations coming in, knowing that it'll go towards Christmas at the orphanage.

[Eddie]

Reminds me of the Office episode where Michael Scott donates, and he's like, I don't remember the number, but I'll give $50. And then when they come to charge him, he'd signed up $50 per mile. And he's like, oh, my God.

[Amy]

Yeah. No, I mean, he has.

[Eddie]

It's.

[Amy]

I think 10 miles is a reasonable goal in his. Or is it 10 miles? Yeah, 10 miles is a reasonable goal. And then his ask for people is reasonable of, like, whatever you can give per mile if you want to pledge and be a part of it. And he's like, who knows? He's like, what if I end up doing 11 miles?

[Eddie]

Oh, he's going to try to do more.

[Amy]

I mean, his goal is 10, but I have a feeling if his friends are out there and they're all motivated and having a good time, I'm like, oh, my gosh, guys, I don't know. He's got so much energy. Like, if he paces himself right, he could. We could be out there a while.

[Eddie]

Michael Scott promised a donation of $25 per mile to a walkathon for Oscar's nephew, but later tried to backtrack when he realized how he thought he was just doing $25.

[Amy]

Yeah. And so I, I don't know. I'm open to your thoughts too, Bobby. On like, I guess him live streaming or like I'll need to post because so many people are like, wait, I need the link. I need the link. And the link is just to the team Hades, PayPal and Venmo. So it's a 501C3. So you're making a donation. The money's not coming to me. And then I'm making a donation. Like the money will go straight to the nonprofit and then the non profit. Like, and then I, I tested it out this weekend because we just opened the Venmo. We've always had PayPal and we tested out the Venmo and I immediately got a email receipt of. For my. Like, your tax deductible amount is da da, da, da da. Because it's like on Venmo, you know how you go pay people one the Team Haiti page. It's not a pay button, it's a donate button. And so that's what we're going to be linking. But I guess. I don't know. I'm curious if you have any thoughts and maybe you need to think on it, but I'm open to any thoughts on how.

[Eddie]

I was just gonna say make it super easy. Easier than having to go to the Team Haiti website because people aren't gonna go through. Yeah, let's have a Vemo. Perfect. I'll do. In honor of Michael Scott, I'll do 25 bucks a mile.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, wait, wait, wait. You know what you're saying?

[Eddie]

I. $25amile. So if he does 10 miles, it's 250 bucks. If he does more than that. Great. So count me in. In honor of Michael Scott.

[Lunchbox]

Love it.

[Amy]

Okay, but do you think he should like.

[Eddie]

I don't think there is a should. I think whatever he wants to do.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, he was asking and he's like, I don't.

[Sophie Cunningham]

He.

[Amy]

He. He's so excited about it.

[Eddie]

Livestream the whole thing though.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Then like have an exact time when he's going to start and have. It's hard if you're live streaming the whole thing. Maybe you can do the split screen with two phones, but you need to have let him know what mile he's at too. Like if that could just stay up there.

[Amy]

Yeah. Okay.

[Eddie]

Because you know how when you do.

[Amy]

A. I don't know what you mean by split screen.

[Eddie]

So whenever you do a collab or in your livestream with together.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

What do you call that now? Like if two people are doing a Instagram live collab in it. Yeah, I guess there's so many names now with different Switch.

[Amy]

Switch.

[Eddie]

So just like, I would have the mile marker, like, on a. Because another phone has to be involved and have that up. Or have them wear something that says mile four and switch out. People just need to know where he is. And then I would do it live and. And then as you're doing it, I would tack the. On the bottom, like, Venmo, link here.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

That's what I would do. Just make it easy for people to be a part of it.

[Amy]

Okay. So have my account running and then another account running.

[Eddie]

You don't have to do that because he can also wear something. I just think there needs to be where he is in the process all the time.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Otherwise you just watch somebody run and you're waiting for them to tell you where it is. And then I would. Because you can, like, sticky at the bottom a note or a message because people are going to be chatting, but I would stick you at the bottom. Hey, Venmo, you probably have to link in bio.

[Amy]

That's fine. Yeah, I can do link in bio. And then, I mean, in the stories, I can also put a link. Yeah. Definitely was curious, your input on that, because that's a good idea. I hadn't thought about. I mean, because I have two accounts. Like, I have my radio, Amy. And then I have my feelings.

[Eddie]

You could always do that where you have one of the phones just on, like, mile three, mile four. And the bottom half is him running.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But I would just make sure to always let people know where he's at in the process.

[Lunchbox]

When's he running?

[Amy]

Saturday. Can anybody join?

[Lunchbox]

Saturday. Saturday.

[Amy]

This Saturday.

[Lunchbox]

So is it too late for the news? Should we get the news on this?

[Derek]

No, this isn't big enough.

[Lunchbox]

I think it's big enough. They could do a whole piece on this.

[Amy]

I mean, like, I don't.

[Eddie]

A kid.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Raising money for his orphanage.

[Eddie]

Inspired.

[Amy]

Well, I don't know, Eddie, you're the news guy.

[Eddie]

Brings on his friends.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, I'm the news guy. And these were the stories that we wanted around the holidays.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Raising money for his own orphanage.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Started with just a thought. Just one simple kid. Tell me something good.

[Derek]

Stop. Stop.

[Lunchbox]

You feel me?

[Eddie]

I do feel you. Cause local news does look for stuff like that.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

And he's raising. I'd probably call him and let him know.

[Lunchbox]

And then finally, Amy, we're on the news or you're on the news.

[Eddie]

We're on the news.

[Amy]

Well, I'm Eddie's now.

[Eddie]

Eddie's the one being interviewed out there. He was like, I was gonna do this dyslexic walk. You guys have no idea. Now I've turned it into this.

[Lunchbox]

Let me tell you about when I walked from West Virginia down Tennessee.

[Amy]

Wait, so who. Is anybody here? Do they want to run?

[Eddie]

I'm not here, and I have a surgeon. She messed up ankle.

[Amy]

Mike, are you here?

[Eddie]

I'm on my scooter, just scooting along aside.

[Lunchbox]

Do I have to run? Can I walk?

[Derek]

Well, you won't keep up.

[Amy]

Yeah, you have to. He's got. I haven't run in forever.

[Lunchbox]

Fasciitis.

[Amy]

And I was thinking I could try to do one mile.

[Lunchbox]

I can do one mile.

[Derek]

So is he. You're going to have him hold the phone the whole time? Is that what we're saying?

[Amy]

That's what we're thinking.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Amy]

Yeah, like. And we'll. I think the split screen.

[Eddie]

Or you have somebody who can also run with him with a split screen running, like.

[Amy]

Yeah, he's probably going to have someone. The way his friends are doing it. He's probably going to have someone.

[Eddie]

Have someone run behind him. I won't say run, rabbit, but. But run behind him. He's always on camera. But I'd probably just do carry phone some and then let a friend run too with it as well. You just want him to be seen all the time, so that's cool.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

That's a cool idea.

[Amy]

All right, well, if anybody wants to come out and run, I'll give you the.

[Eddie]

I won't even be here. You know what we're gonna do Sunday, though? We're going to Brett's show.

[Amy]

Oh, the Christmas show.

[Eddie]

Glow. He's doing three nights. He's doing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

[Lunchbox]

Awesome.

[Amy]

But he's got more elsewhere.

[Eddie]

Yeah. But here in town, Nashville, the one to go to is the Sunday one.

[Lunchbox]

Are they sold out?

[Eddie]

Friday, I'm pretty sure is Saturday. I'm pretty sure is Sunday. I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Look into that.

[Eddie]

If we have any listeners in Nashville, I would go to the Sunday show because. And I won't speak on his thoughts, although I feel like I could. If you're doing multiple shows in a city, which I've done before, you always worry that you'll get sick or go too hard night one or night two. So you kind of reserve a little because you got to do three nights, and night three is kind of when you just let it all hang out.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's like when I went to go see Pearl Jam, they had two nights, and the first night I saw the set list, it was pretty decent. But the last night they went off.

[Eddie]

And it's just for safety reasons because you don't want to screw the last night of anything. So you want to, you know, it's good advice. Yeah, we're going to go. Night one, you got a lot of good energy. It's exciting. Night two, solid. Keep it really solid. It's a great show anyway. And then night three, you're like, okay, I'm not sick. I have good energy. I'm going to put everything else out that I want.

[Lunchbox]

They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa.

[Eddie]

What do you say, Mike? Yeah. There's still some digits. There are, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Cool.

[Eddie]

I would anybody in Nashville if you should go to the show, and if you go Sunday night, that would be the night I recommend. And he's in, like, Chicago. It's just weird because I kind of. You know how? Well, when I grew up, there would be, like, what they would call, like, deer season widows. Like deer widows or golf widows.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Because their husbands are so.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Because they're always gone. Yeah. I feel like Christmas time's like, I'm Brett widowing. Because he's, like, my friend, and we talk. We talk all the time. We hang out a significant amount, and I feel like Thanksgiving to January's, I'm Brett widow.

[Lunchbox]

I'm sorry, man.

[Eddie]

I know you lose your buddy. Well, it's just different because Eddie and I are super close, but we're here today, and we're here all day every day, and we work together and we travel together. But then when he's got 84 kids. So in the afternoons, unless we're doing something, you're over there managing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like a child care center.

[Lunchbox]

It's a huge operation over there.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Brad doesn't have kids, so he's like my afternoon friend. All right. You want to go around the room? Do you have one? I can start. I have some good ones.

[Amy]

Okay. I have one, but.

[Eddie]

Okay, go ahead.

[Amy]

So that spark you feel in the beginning of a relationship, science says it doesn't last forever. Studies show that the romantic chemistry fades after about 18 months. So, like, in the beginning of the relationship, your brain is flooded with chemicals like dopamine, and there's this whole euphoria and obsession. And then after about 18 months, everything levels out, and there's this natural decline, and the brain transitions to a different chemical state. And that's about how long it takes for you to get there is 18 months.

[Eddie]

That is the precise reason I don't believe in love at first sight. It's mostly like boner at first sight. And then after that, you get into it. Like, you find the real love once the dopamine that. That first batch of dopamine levels out.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah. And then you can get into the real, like. Okay, is this stable, secure, comfortable?

[Eddie]

Have you trademarked that?

[Amy]

What?

[Lunchbox]

You know, boner. At first sight, I'm sure it doesn't exist, so go for it.

[Amy]

Where are you going to put it, though?

[Eddie]

Like, remember when I think it was Dasher was wearing that hat with the C word, but Tree, like, the C word.

[Amy]

C. Yes, I do.

[Eddie]

Tree. I feel like that's still grosser than Boner at first sight. Yeah. Okay. Just making sure.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because you can actually say that word right now and you cannot say the other one.

[Eddie]

The C word. It's hilarious when British people say it. I had a girl over who does the Girls in Low Places podcast. She literally lives in London. And, you know, country music has really started to be big over there. So when people come, they always go to her. And I was like, I love. It's hilarious when British people say the C word and it doesn't even feel dirty when they say it. It feels like just part of their. Like when they say, like, taking the piss out of you, all that means, like, making fun of you. Right. They just say things different. Like, it's. Even when they say the C word, it feels, like, not as aggressive. When somebody says it here, it's like, oh, who even are you?

[Amy]

Mm.

[Eddie]

Like, there's the B word, and, like, that's a foundation shaker. If someone just calls somebody that, but the C word, it's like you melted. You melted them. That's powerful.

[Amy]

I don't know that I've heard a foreign person say the.

[Eddie]

Oh, you should.

[Amy]

I'm good.

[Eddie]

It's not your algorithm. It's all mine. Is British people saying the C word. 10 videos in a row. That's interesting. Yeah, I think that makes sense. The dopamine. Oh, my God. Hot and heavy. And then you kind of figure it.

[Lunchbox]

Out, but then a lot of people try to go chase that one again, and it's tough to get back, you know?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I'm sure there's special moments in the marriage where you're just like, oh.

[Eddie]

I think it's a. Yeah, it's a different. I think we all could agree with this. It's a different type of, like a foundational safety.

[Amy]

Yeah. That's when you level out into. And your brain has other chemicals for that, but it's just not as.

[Eddie]

Like, you can be euphoric. Yeah.

[Amy]

But what's more important to you? That, you know, euphoric type feeling or the consistent safety, comfortableness, security? Like, I Think I'd put more value on that.

[Eddie]

I think most. It's a great point. So I think boner at second sight is the more important Boner. Should we trademark that?

[Lunchbox]

That one for sure is not.

[Eddie]

You don't think. Boner at second sight is definitely not. TSA's gonna possibly start charging a fee for travelers without a real id.

[Amy]

Ooh, I have mine, and mine came in the mail.

[Eddie]

You got it. Do you see where Jelly Roll's wife got pulled over, I believe. And she had an expired license, and now she's might have to go to jail.

[Amy]

Yeah, I saw that she was going to jail. I just didn't understand why. And now expired license.

[Lunchbox]

They told you why people have been calling in, telling you go to jail?

[Amy]

No, I didn't know that. That's why Jelly Roll's wife was going to jail.

[Eddie]

Well, going to. She keeps saying she's going to jail. I don't. Dude, I watched a headline. I mean, I watched her talk about it on a clip, so I don't know if she's actually going to serve time.

[Lunchbox]

Bunny.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Bunny.

[Amy]

Bunny. Xo.

[Eddie]

But she did say she got in trouble because she was driving on expired license. Right, Mike? Yeah. In 2020. Thought it was paid and then found out.

[Amy]

Oh, so then she didn't. She failed to pay.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. That's different.

[Amy]

By accident.

[Eddie]

I don't understand.

[Lunchbox]

Now you get a warrant.

[Amy]

Ticket. Yeah. So this. So, see, I wasn't gonna go to jail.

[Derek]

You're so confident now that you got.

[Eddie]

Your credit, let it expire, then prove it.

[Derek]

Throw it away.

[Eddie]

Yeah. TSA could possibly start charging people without a real ID an $18 fee at security checkpoints.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, right. That's just not gonna go over well. That's just not so. If you're telling me if I had my passport.

[Eddie]

Okay, let me finish here. And plans to launch a biometric identity verification program for people who don't have a real id. The TSA says alternative ID verification methods are time and resource intensive, so the fee would cover the government costs or having to pay people to do these more intensive screenings. Passengers will start paying the fee once the TSA announces that people can register for the alternative identity verification program. Requirements vary by state, so the TSA advises people to check their state's driver's license. Okay. Or passport. You can do a passport, too.

[Amy]

Okay. I guess so. They've been allowing certain people to fly if they don't have the.

[Eddie]

It just supposedly takes longer, but it doesn't. I've been with people who've had not.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, really?

[Eddie]

Yeah, they're just like, I don't even. They don't even look at it. I guess it probably depends on airports and you know, what day it is and. But I've been.

[Amy]

Who's working, how tired they are.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Any of that. And that's how hijackers get through the.

[Lunchbox]

On one of those days.

[Eddie]

One of those days they're just over it. Yeah. Find somebody who's got black under their eyes and let's go through lunchbox.

[Derek]

I just want to say, Amy, there's hope for you and your ex husband. Jerry o' Connell and John Stamos years long feud because Jerry is married to John's ex wife and they actually buried the hatchet. They were at Howie Mandel's party this weekend, 62nd birthday and they snapped a selfie together.

[Eddie]

But they've already met Amy's boyfriend and husband.

[Amy]

Wait, so there's hope for what?

[Derek]

Like you guys can all just hang out? Like, I mean, that's crazy.

[Amy]

Oh yeah. I mean we hang out at sporting events.

[Derek]

But like do you sit next to each other or is it like opposite side of the bleachers?

[Amy]

No, like we stand. I mean there was a time when my ex husband was dating somebody else. I wasn't really allowed to go near them. But that's a whole nother.

[Eddie]

I remember all that.

[Amy]

That's a whole nother story.

[Eddie]

Restraining order, my wife has often said, even including me, mostly me and Amy. Man, there's just some stories you guys could tell.

[Amy]

Oh yeah.

[Eddie]

That would just. The show would be so much better.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I was like some of that stuff though. It's like, you know, we can't. It's me and her both, so it's. But yeah, I know it'd be.

[Amy]

Yeah. Let's just say I was told to keep my distance. That was an interesting time. And it's not like that anymore. Yay. So different girlfriend. Everything is okay.

[Eddie]

Yay.

[Amy]

Yay. My, like my, my sister and my brother in law spent the night with me again last night. They were in town, but then drove to a place like an hour away for a few days. And then they came back last night and then this morning they went and met up with Ben, my ex husband for coffee. I'm like, oh my gosh. Yay. So fun.

[Eddie]

They are lifelong friends though.

[Amy]

Yeah. But I mean I just like that everybody feels comfortable. Like I don't. If we had a lot of tension, it would feel weird if they were staying at my house and then waking up and Being like, okay, we're going to meet Ben right now, but instead it's like, oh yeah, we're meeting Ben in the morning.

[Eddie]

So I guess my point with that comment was, and it could have been taken wrong, is that they're not just going to hang out with your ex husband. He was also their friend from childhood as well.

[Amy]

Absolutely. I do think that it took a little bit to get like. There was a rough couple of years during the separation and divorce where it did feel weird. And some of that may have been also to the girl he was dating. Little friction, but.

[Derek]

So we can tell.

[Amy]

But things are better now.

[Lunchbox]

Can I ask you about sporting events? Because I've seen in the many years we've been doing youth sports, couples that get divorced and then they show up to the game separately, but no boyfriends, girlfriends. And then slowly they start dating someone and then one of them brings the boyfriend or girlfriend.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

But then they start doing pda and I'm like, dang, that's savage.

[Eddie]

And I've not liked holding savage like that. Friggin sore thumb.

[Lunchbox]

Why?

[Amy]

So why at.

[Eddie]

Hey, that was not fire how you said that. That's what that sounded like.

[Lunchbox]

Savage.

[Eddie]

Are you just trying to throw that in and see if it works?

[Lunchbox]

No, because I think it. Every time I see it, I'm like, oh, he's there watching them, like, and they're like making out. Like making out at his sporting event.

[Amy]

I feel like that it's like me.

[Derek]

And her boyfriend at the high school game.

[Amy]

I say, right, okay, we were not making out.

[Eddie]

So hold. Before you answer that question, maybe it was only me. Did it feel funny when he yelled the word savage in normal conversation? Just yes or no.

[Amy]

I think he did a good job.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, thank you, Amy.

[Eddie]

Then I apologize.

[Amy]

Because to me, what this is coming from someone where I like to say sick and fire and yeah, we're cool like that. Like sick.

[Eddie]

Oh, there you go again, just doubling down.

[Amy]

Maybe I don't really say fire anymore, but I definitely say sick.

[Eddie]

But sick was. That was part of our vernacular too.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Like sick. There's still some holdover from like the early 2000s with Sick.

[Derek]

Eddie felt a little old man forced.

[Lunchbox]

I did.

[Derek]

Yeah. Like you were like. And you emphasize.

[Eddie]

You're like savage. I don't want to divert the conversation.

[Lunchbox]

When I see it happen live. I'm like, ooh, I savage. I can't even look at it.

[Eddie]

Some you have kids saying it and that's probably dribbled into.

[Lunchbox]

That's. That's my whole dude, my House. That's how they speak.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I apologize.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Accepted.

[Eddie]

Okay. I just. It hit so weird that I was like, gotta call it out. Please finish pda. That.

[Amy]

Okay, well, so I was gonna bring up that at a cross country meet. You know, those are pretty spread out. But we met Stevenson at the finish line, and it was me, my boyfriend, and then Ben, and then. But Stephenson was staying with Ben at the time. So my boyfriend and I left separately. And I guess Ben and Stevenson went off and they got in their car, so we're not even near them. And I'm walking my boyfriend to his car and we hug. Cause I'm gonna go get my car. And Ben and Stevenson drive by at that moment. And Ben rolled down the window and he was like, no pda. No pda. And I was like, this is weird.

[Eddie]

This is weird. Lunchbox said he saw you guys, like, making out, but we didn't.

[Amy]

He's exaggerating. And I know for the one thing.

[Eddie]

Is that he doesn't do is exaggerate. So I will not stand behind that.

[Derek]

Did you guys have PDA at the football game?

[Amy]

Did we hug or. Yes, maybe. But that's. That's not the point of my story.

[Eddie]

The point of my story is in your back pocket.

[Amy]

No, the point of my story is.

[Eddie]

Remember junior high?

[Lunchbox]

That was fun.

[Eddie]

Not for me. I just saw other guys doing it. I was like, one day, I want to have a girlfriend.

[Amy]

I don't know if anybody else can relate to this, but it's that weird moment where your ex is calling out your PDA with your new boyfriend. That was weird.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because it's kind of.

[Eddie]

I can relate to none of that. But it was no new boyfriend, no boyfriend.

[Amy]

It was playful.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's good. I like it because it's a healthy.

[Lunchbox]

I thought he was going to say.

[Eddie]

Get a room, you two. Me too, kind of. Or he's like, can I join? Oh, okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Okay. That have been seven.

[Amy]

Wait, why did you just say been there?

[Derek]

Like, if he's yelling stuff out.

[Amy]

Oh, been there.

[Derek]

Yeah, like been there.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, that's weird.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that have been. Fight.

[Lunchbox]

Been there.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that would have been. That's not. Yeah, no, that would have been bad.

[Lunchbox]

Been there, done that.

[Eddie]

That have been. That.

[Lunchbox]

That's savage.

[Amy]

What do you say? Oh, leftovers, sloppy seconds. Oh, why am I doing this with him?

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Derek]

Hey, you said it. You got it going. So I. I added on.

[Amy]

Okay, okay, carry on.

[Eddie]

Eddie, your story.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Corey Feldman's coming out. He was on a radio show talking about how my.

[Eddie]

Corey Feldman. Corey Feldman.

[Lunchbox]

You got it.

[Eddie]

Play some 80s actor. Kid actor.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Was he on Dancing with the Stars for a minute?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Got it. Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

And he was talking about Dancing with the Stars and how the behind the scenes over there is very toxic. Very. He just kept saying it was toxic out there.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna let you finish before I respond.

[Lunchbox]

Well, that's it. He just said that. Well, he was talking about getting kicked out or whatever, or not making it. And he said that's fine, whatever. But the environment there is just a lot of people bullying a lot of people talking behind each other's backs. Very toxic. And I want to ask you, you were there.

[Eddie]

My experience was awesome. Being there and doing it, except for the physical toll it took on me. I have nothing negative to say about the actual experience of the show. I want to talk about him for a second. I don't know him, but he like disappeared for like a week at the beginning. When. If you don't work with your partner every second of every day, especially if you're a non dancer, you have no chance. And his partner, Jenna, this is like, where's my guy? He obviously can't dance. Could you. I mean, look at him.

[Lunchbox]

He's older too.

[Eddie]

And I like watch him do his rock and roll shows.

[Lunchbox]

They're so funny, man.

[Eddie]

He doesn't know ballroom dancing. And I'm like, they have no chance to make it. So I could understand if you were leaving your partner behind, why people would have negative feelings about you because you're not taking it seriously. That's her job and her career. And those dancers, they make money for as long as they stay on the show. And it's costing her money. And so I would assume to him it was probably pretty toxic there. Now, in any environment where there are multiple people, there's going to be a sociological. There are going to be certain groups that get along. Even if everybody gets along, there are going to be units and pockets that get along better with each other. And there's going to be competitive parts. But I don't think that show within itself is toxic. I found it to be extremely helpful. And there were people that weren't even my part. Now there are like a couple mean girls and a couple mean guys that don't get. But that's okay. They still weren't awful people. That's just the nature of. They're professional athletes. They're trying to win. It is such a competitive environment between the pros, not within each other, but within themselves. And Kaitlyn Bristowe and I, and that podcast will come out tomorrow. She had a really tough time with her partner because one, he wasn't American. He's like a Russian dude. They're just. They just have different sensibilities. Yeah, it's like, you suck, you suck, you suck.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, that's toxic.

[Eddie]

And to them, no, but to them, that's normal because that's how they were brought up. And so a lot of that is who you get as a partner. Now I had Sharna. She was hardcore on me. I talk about it in the podcast that comes out tomorrow. Like, she was so hard on me. I needed that. But they're pro athletes that have to come up a certain way, super disciplined, and they expect it from their partners if they want to win the thing. And so I can. Everybody fights with their partner. I don't know a single person that didn't fight with their partner if you last long enough because that relationship is just so close. I can also understand fighting with your partner if you don't show up for a week and you get kicked off the first week.

[Lunchbox]

Well, he said. This is a quote.

[Eddie]

He said the fan base is toxic, though.

[Lunchbox]

He said, no, I don't know. That's what he's talking. He said there's a lot of stupidity in the mudslinging that went on behind the scenes.

[Eddie]

Well, because they were calling him out because he wasn't there.

[Lunchbox]

Is that it?

[Eddie]

I would assume.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. He said, actually there. Everything was great. But the behind the scenes drama and the.

[Eddie]

He wasn't even there. Behind the scenes is the crazy part.

[Lunchbox]

The BS that people throw around that show.

[Eddie]

Like, I know.

[Lunchbox]

Never seen anything like that.

[Eddie]

I'll just. I know for a fact he wasn't there for a lot of it, and it put her in a bad place and it sucks for her. Jenna.

[Lunchbox]

That's Jenna Johnson.

[Eddie]

Yes. And she's awesome. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I just want to get your take on that.

[Eddie]

I got a picture with Corey Feldman. Yeah, well, I'm just still well connected with that show. Not even from the dancers, but from, like, network people, you know? And so I got a picture of. Here's Corey Feldman backstage before his first show. And they're like. He went.

[Lunchbox]

His blonde hair.

[Eddie]

They're like. He went right from, like, hard vape right out there. And then was like, well, I'm out of breath.

[Lunchbox]

He just seems like a character, man.

[Eddie]

He is a character. All right, lunchbox.

[Derek]

I already went.

[Eddie]

Morgan.

[Amy]

Have you guys seen the thing about the Campbell Soup vp?

[Eddie]

I don't know that I Have.

[Amy]

Okay, so an employee had recorded one of these executives at Campbell Soup Company and he's like on record going on a rant for over an hour talking about saying their stuff is for poor people. He doesn't know who buys their stuff. He says it's not healthy because he knows what's in it. It's bioengineered meat. That's a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.

[Eddie]

Do you have the clip? Is there a clip?

[Amy]

No, you don't want it. Cause he's cussing a lot.

[Eddie]

I feel like if you have the energy to do an hour rant on anything, you're not doing your job, whatever your job is.

[Lunchbox]

One hour.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I can rant for, I don't know, three to four minutes. And I'm like, Corey Feldman, I'm tired. I didn't even vape. But I'm like out of breath. And also with someone recording him, he didn't know they were being recorded. Yeah, that's what happened. Do you mind if I read it so we don't get sued?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

The vice president of Campbell Soup Company was caught on secret recordings saying he doesn't eat his company's product because it's unhealthy, according to a former employee. Okay. Local 4 spoke to a former employee at Campbell's, Robert Garza of Monroe. Garza said he was fired after he complained about the vice president. He has no filter. He thinks he's a C level executive at a Fortune 500 company and he can do whatever he wants because he's an executive. Garza said he recorded an hour long rant by the top Campbell Soup company executive because he said he trusted his instinct that something wasn't right. Garza is now suing the company, alleging a lot of things. This dude. First of all, big shout out to Campbell Soup got me through a lot of rough years.

[Lunchbox]

Even when I'm sick.

[Eddie]

Still. Still get you through. Yeah. Buy. Yeah. Employee said he was fired for raising concerns about canc. So the employee who recorded got fired too.

[Amy]

Yep. He brought like the recording, I think, to say, like, hey, this is what happened. He was just going to ask for a raise and this rant happened. And then he went and told HR, I guess, and was fired 15 days later.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, It's a weird one to tell on the CEO.

[Eddie]

Well, he's not the CEO. Yeah. It's a VP. And there are probably me guessing there's 80 VPs.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Okay.

[Eddie]

If they're in Monroe, Louisiana. I'm assuming that's not like the main VP makes sense because I would assume their corporate office is in a major city just for resources.

[Lunchbox]

But he thinks he's like a.

[Eddie]

Probably he's like the VP of the Monroe, Louisiana office.

[Lunchbox]

Thinks he's a CEO. He acts like he is.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I don't know enough about it sucks for everybody.

[Amy]

Does it make you not want to eat Campbell's soup going forward?

[Eddie]

Because it actually honestly makes me want more right now. Like, just thinking about it. Like chicken noodles. Oh, no. Mushroom. Gross. I hate mushrooms.

[Lunchbox]

What is wrong with cream casserole? Yeah, you gotta. It's an ingredient. You gotta put it in dishes. It's delicious.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

I just hate mushrooms so much that I don't give cream of mushroom a chance.

[Amy]

I don't even really think. You may get a little teeny tiny piece of a mushroom, but. And it's not even Bobby. You don't scared of it. It's not a real mushroom.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they made it out of a 3D printer.

[Eddie]

Oh, I like. I'm there. I'm in.

[Lunchbox]

I never once ate that chicken and thought it was real chicken. I was just like.

[Eddie]

I did. And I still don't know that it's not just because one guy, one, one.

[Lunchbox]

Like, like chicken in my refrigerator, LA guy.

[Derek]

That's true.

[Lunchbox]

You know, in this.

[Derek]

I never thought about that.

[Lunchbox]

That can last for years.

[Derek]

Good point.

[Eddie]

I'm not gonna have you guys dog slandering Campbell soup. That was too good of a relationship with it.

[Lunchbox]

I love it. And me. The big one was when they changed from using a can opener to the pull tab.

[Eddie]

That was just game changer for me. Have you ever seen the TikTok where they show you how you're supposed to open it with a fork? The pull tab.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

You should look it up. It's nothing revolutionary, but it's like this is how it was originally meant. Maybe not even with a fork, but with a stick. You pull, put the stick in. You don't cut your hand.

[Lunchbox]

You don't cut your hand anyway by using the pool.

[Eddie]

No, I know, but you can.

[Lunchbox]

So you. You put some in there.

[Eddie]

You really cut your hand with a can opener. Because then you get that last.

[Lunchbox]

It's all rigid.

[Eddie]

All of a sudden, you're in the hospital. Yeah. It's an interesting TikTok. I had butternut squash pizza.

[Sophie Cunningham]

What?

[Amy]

Yum.

[Eddie]

Mm.

[Lunchbox]

Is that the dough?

[Amy]

No, the dough is butter. You get the one with the ricotta cheese on it.

[Eddie]

Well, first of all, you can't eat.

[Amy]

That's why I said like, oh, no, that's Why?

[Eddie]

I don't. That's why it was fine. But my wife will try to find different normal things for me to eat, even though they're a bit abnormal because I can't eat pizza. And she's like, let's try this butternut squash pizza. I would rather not have it than me eat a bat amid to bad version of it and make me think about what I'm not having.

[Lunchbox]

Because that's not pizza.

[Eddie]

It's not pizza.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Eddie]

And I don't. And butternut squash soup. I like if it's hot. This wasn't hot. It wasn't for me.

[Amy]

Oh. If you got it where I think you got it where I think you got it from, I love that pizza.

[Eddie]

I bet it would be good if you liked butternut squash. Like, I'm not saying that it's made.

[Amy]

Bad, just not for you.

[Eddie]

It's not for me. I miss pizza so much.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. It's definitely not pizza. It might be in the shape of a pizza.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Amy]

But it's just, like, decorated bread.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Because almost like, it's yummy to me. But it's not a replacement for. If you're craving, like, actual pizza. That's not it.

[Eddie]

It feels a bit like back in the day. And you'll know this because your dad used to own a whole pizza chain, or at least many of them. You would get the dessert pizza, and it wasn't quite pizza. It was just a dessert.

[Lunchbox]

Looked like pizza, or had chocolate and cinnamon on it.

[Eddie]

Okay, but if I don't say the chain, what do you think of when I say that?

[Derek]

Cici's, Mr. Gatty.

[Amy]

Mr. Gatt's. It's probably where you're from.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, but Eddie, he had one down in Harland in Texas. No, Mr. Gaddy's.

[Eddie]

Emmy's mad you didn't go to her dad's.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I. I understand you're Mr. Gatti's, but there were also Cici's in.

[Derek]

In. No, we're asking. Did you have Mr. Gaddy's down there?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

No, he did my dad.

[Eddie]

When Gaddy Land came to Hot Springs.

[Lunchbox]

It'S a big deal.

[Eddie]

It's like Disneyland just arrived. Is. Is amazing. Freaking video games. And it had the thing where you put the coins in. Try to win more coins by dropping it in. It's a game changer for us in.

[Amy]

Hot Springs bumper cars.

[Eddie]

We had the one friend that could drive as a little older. We go to the batting cages in Mr. Gaddy's.

[Lunchbox]

Is that Scotty?

[Eddie]

No, Scotty was two years ahead, and he didn't want anything to do with us. Scotty's my neighbor. Good friend now, but two years is a lot. Whenever you're in fourth grade, sixth grade.

[Lunchbox]

If he's in middle school, you're still in elementary school.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it was a lot. All right.

[Lunchbox]

Do you ever try to tip those machines over?

[Eddie]

No. Because if you bumped it, the alarm would go off. Yeah. So tip, no bump. Yes.

[Lunchbox]

All the quarters are hanging. You're like, oh, just one little bump.

[Eddie]

Yeah. All right, let me see if there's anything else that I want to get to. According to a new ranking, the world's best cities, period, are. Amy.

[Amy]

The world's best cities. Oh, the world's Paris.

[Eddie]

Number three. Correct.

[Amy]

I've never been, but it's awesome.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it is. My second favorite city in the world outside of America.

[Lunchbox]

Is Dubai a city?

[Derek]

I don't know or what it is.

[Eddie]

It's on the list.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And they made Dubai so safe. It's just so far. Yeah, but they made it so safe that I watch my life is tiktoks and occasionally reading a book now, but where people will put their wallets and purses on top of a car just to show you how safe it is, and then go in for two hours and come back out and it's still there.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. They're not stealing, but I'm sure they do other things.

[Eddie]

But for. But for tourists, it's like whenever you go to Mexico and they're like, hey, these resorts the cartels aren't going to mess with because they don't mess with Americans. The real reason they want to mess with them is because they are invested in them, too. And so if the cartels go shooting.

[Lunchbox]

Up these resorts, that's their client.

[Eddie]

Yeah. They go shooting up these resorts, or there's. There's bad stuff happening at these resorts in these cities, it hurts their money, too. So that's why they don't do it. So for the most part, that's why it doesn't happen there.

[Derek]

Oh, that makes sense.

[Eddie]

More so than what they used to tell us was. Well, they don't want the US Government jumping in. All of a sudden, they're shooting Americans. But no, they're invested in these different resorts. And a lot into these cities where Americans go as tourists, but outside the.

[Lunchbox]

Resort in Mexico, don't leave your wallet, your phone on top of your car. It's not going to be there.

[Eddie]

Well, we're not talking about Mexico. We're talking about Dubai.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Eddie]

Dubai does make it though. Number eight.

[Derek]

What about London?

[Eddie]

One.

[Lunchbox]

That's the best realm.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Seven.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, New York City has to be on there.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Two.

[Derek]

What about Las Vegas?

[Eddie]

No.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Eddie]

They had the F1 race in Vegas. Maybe you saw Beyonce.

[Amy]

Yeah, I saw her.

[Eddie]

Maybe you saw that and didn't even know what it was about because that was a big story. Was Beyonce and Jay Z and she was dressed like a race car driver.

[Derek]

She looked good.

[Eddie]

They wouldn't let people stand on the street and watch the race because it goes through the city.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So there are these escalators in Vegas where it takes you across the street to a hotel. So what people would do, they would just keep walking the whole time. They get on the escalator, go up, get off, keep walking. Because if you stopped, the police ran you off.

[Lunchbox]

But if you kept walking, if you.

[Eddie]

Kept walking, they can't because you could be walking another casino. So it showed, people just walking. You see it, Mike? Yeah, just walking in circles. London at one. I go through these and I liked London. It's not my favorite because if it's. But it was cool because they have buildings from like the friggin 1200s.

[Lunchbox]

That's awesome.

[Eddie]

It's so much older. New York's at 2. I like New York. Paris is at 3. My second favorite city in the world. It's not American. Don't go when it's cold because it's freaking ice cold. I don't like cold, but Paris is cold. Yeah, well, in the winter it's really cool.

[Derek]

They have winter. I didn't know that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And if you want it, a lot of the stuff that you want to see is outside. And this is why it bothers me to go when it's cold. Because we've been. When it's cold. I don't like to be cold. It sucks that cold hurts. Yes. So you're trying to walk and see all this stuff or go to museums. All you doing is freezing your face off the whole time. If you go in like spring or summer, it's awesome.

[Derek]

Are their seasons the same as ours? Like winter is winter.

[Eddie]

When it's winter here, I'm not sure. I know Australia is not. Because I've been, you know, I'm saying I've been to Sydney and it's Christmas hot over there.

[Derek]

Eddie, don't act like that was a dumb question.

[Eddie]

I don't think it's a dumb question.

[Derek]

You were about to say.

[Lunchbox]

I think it's kind of dumb.

[Eddie]

I don't think it's a dumb question.

[Lunchbox]

Because I mean, we're. We're north, south, same kind of area. For the most part, I don't really is way down south.

[Eddie]

I don't know the answer, so I don't think it's a dumb question. And that's for you. Have you been in Paris?

[Lunchbox]

Never, man.

[Derek]

So you know when it's.

[Lunchbox]

When you know our seasons, you see snow and stuff.

[Eddie]

Mike, would you say if Paris is pretty seasonal with the United States? Right. I think it's probably because we've been in winter and it was really cold, and then you got to pack coats, and it takes up so much of your frigging luggage. Tokyo, you've been. Yeah, it's four on the list. It's the cleanest, safest place I've ever been.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's where you brought us back, all those Kit Kats. Right.

[Eddie]

Paris has a milder, more temperate climate than much of the United States. Warmer winters and cooler summers due to the oceanic climate influenced by the Gulf Stream. I think kind of. You're wrong, Eddie, in your judgment.

[Lunchbox]

No. They got four seasons.

[Derek]

It's not what I said.

[Eddie]

But that's not what he said. He said. Is it matched? No.

[Derek]

Do they match? Is it. If it's winter here, is it winner there?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

The answer is yes. Is it as hot? Is it as cold as it is here? No, I don't think you're just.

[Eddie]

Now you're just doubling down on something you guessed on, and I respect it.

[Lunchbox]

I can't just fold.

[Eddie]

Madrid at five. Never been.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Espana, that's the motherland.

[Eddie]

Singapore, Too far. Never been. Rome. Third favorite city ever. They did warn us, and they said, watch out if you're carrying bags, because gypsy kids will come and take from your pockets and bags if they're low. In, like, the city. Really cool city. Dubai, Never been. Berlin, Never been. Barcelona, Never been.

[Amy]

Oh, I've been to Barcelona. That's beautiful.

[Lunchbox]

Barcelona.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

There. Man, can you get any more annoying today?

[Lunchbox]

Barcelona.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Just all. It's like. There's, like, been four things.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Savage.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And then Barcelona. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

But I think I'm right about the seasons.

[Eddie]

Possibly. WorldsBestCities.com with that.

[Lunchbox]

What was your first?

[Eddie]

Because you said you're saying Austria.

[Lunchbox]

Vienna. That's right.

[Amy]

His homeland.

[Eddie]

No, no, no. Austrian.

[Lunchbox]

He's from Bobby Landing. No.

[Eddie]

He has his own village, Kingdom of Bobby. In Germany, I believe.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Boblandia.

[Amy]

So next door.

[Eddie]

It is next door. Good job. Because it goes France, Germany, Austria.

[Lunchbox]

How did you know that?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Did you just say it or did you know it?

[Amy]

No, I feel like that part of the world. I knew they were next to each other.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh yeah. World War II. I think they got them first.

[Eddie]

So there's a lot of World War II and it's really cool. Yeah. You like it? You got a passport now. You should go somewhere.

[Lunchbox]

I know, dude, I gotta use it.

[Eddie]

I never thought I'd go anywhere. I never thought I'd leave the friggin state of Oregon.

[Amy]

Hit up that list of the most popular cities I think I've been to like New York, London.

[Lunchbox]

That's it.

[Amy]

That's it.

[Eddie]

It's probably just much harder with kids. And I spent a lot of my life without kids.

[Amy]

My kids have been to Paris. My dog. Their dad took on you.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Amy]

They went with their dad?

[Eddie]

What about that? With the ex girlfriend?

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's why Amy hates it. I never go to Paris.

[Amy]

Oh no, I want to go to Paris. It's on my list. I want. Remember I think I told you like what, like a month? It was like last month or something. My boyfriend was going for work and he was so being so annoying. He was like dreading it. He's like, oh, I don't want to go. And I was like, you should be grateful.

[Lunchbox]

Oh yeah.

[Amy]

You should be grateful that you have work that takes you places. He's like, it's going to be so busy. I'm barely going to get to do anything. I'm like, I don't care. But have you ever said that you look out and there was the Eiffel Tower?

[Lunchbox]

Have you ever said that about Vegas though? You're like, oh yeah.

[Eddie]

And then same. We would tour and be like, you should just be happy because I love Boston. But it's like, I'm just tired. I just want to be in my own bed.

[Lunchbox]

And then someone like, you should be grateful that you have a job that.

[Eddie]

Takes you all over the country. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So there's two sides to it.

[Amy]

I get it. It's definitely all right.

[Eddie]

That was not annoying. Thank you, man.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you know, you know what's crazy though is it's not good. But I'd say like once a month I start thinking if I didn't have kids, I'd have a boat and I'd be able to travel anywhere. Like I would have a dude. It's crazy to think like how much money I would have if I didn't have kids. And sometimes I'm tempted to tell them that you guys realize that if I didn't have you.

[Eddie]

I'd fight that temptation, but that's fine.

[Lunchbox]

I do fight it. I do fight it.

[Eddie]

That's fine. I don't think they would care though. They'd be like, shut up.

[Lunchbox]

You're being annoying, dad.

[Eddie]

Honestly. No one wants to think about hiv, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep. PREP stands for Pre Exposure Prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
