2. Michigan Coach Scandal: Speculation & Mom Drama

3. Lunchbox’s Parenting Dilemma: Kid-Friendly Sports Movies
[19:35–34:52]

- “The booty is more important than the buck … Tiger Woods had everything: too much booty … Urban Meyer … the booty will get you every freaking time.” [43:07]

Irreverent, playful, and laced with inside jokes and recurring schtick (“Take it to the bank”; “Speculation is better”; “We are the 1,2,3, soar loser!”).
Lunchbox is blunt and sometimes crude, Ray is more wry and the “voice of reason” but gets just as silly. The vibe is laid-back locker room radio with plenty of tangents.

- Banter on Realness: They’re skeptical but sometimes sentimental about what’s “real” on social media.
