3. Waiting in Lines and Chasing Trends

  “If you need fresh flowers, that is the place to go...” – Amy [13:30]

  • Banter & Sincerity: Bobby offers advice on how important it is to develop a clear “header” or core message to land speaking gigs, using his own experiences as an example.

• Notable Quotes:
  “You can either choose to be playful or paralyzed.” – Amy [26:21]
  “You just got to have a specialty because they’re not going to hear what you’re saying. Or even if somebody’s pitching.” – Bobby [31:26]
  “Find a reason they should hire you, more so than [just] have a great speech. Only because you can have a great speech, but unless...” – Bobby [34:32]
  “Maybe I need to think outside the box and wider, but I can’t believe someone would pay you to come in there and tell them to have fun.” – Lunchbox [32:13]

[B]

Tell me something good.

[A]

Eddie, why don't you go first?

[C]

Okay. Last night was kind of cool. So we went to bed. Well, I. I went to bed first and then slowly all my boys came into my bedroom and started watching some show called Jesse, like a Disney show. And before I knew it, the whole family was in my room and. And it was kind of cool. My wife was next to me. The little one seven year old was between us. The three were on the floor watching it. My oldest came in with a beanbag and I started looking around like, oh my gosh, like my whole family's still together. Like, I have an 18 year old. Pretty soon, before I know it, he's about to leave the house and it's going to change things. But in the meantime, we're all still together and they still think it's kind of cool to hang out with mom and dad.

[A]

Or is Jesse an awesome show?

[C]

I don't know. I tried watching Jesse.

[A]

Ugh, Morgan, when you said that, I don't know if she knew, but she started nodding her head a little bit. I don't know.

[D]

What?

[A]

Jesse.

[D]

Yeah, it's a show on Disney and it's a good show. I mean, it's a Disney show.

[C]

It's cheesy, man.

[D]

Yeah, it's very cheesy. But it's also a little bit more female driven. So I'm interested why the boys love it.

[C]

That's interesting. But, but in this episode. Oh, in this episode, Adam Sandler came out, which was a weird one too because like they're having like a high school dance or something and Adam Sandler is like one of the chaperones. And they're like, adam Sandler, what are you doing here? And he's serving punch. He's like, hey, kid. Yeah, I just decided to come out and like watch, you know, make sure all the kids are okay. It was just a weird appearance.

[A]

Is that a current show?

[C]

No.

[A]

Or is an old show they stopped making a long time ago?

[C]

Yeah, I think they stopped making it. But that was interesting that Adam Sandler was on there. I just thought it was cool that we were all together.

[A]

Like, everyone.

[C]

That's so rare.

[A]

Okay, Morgan, let's go to you then.

[D]

Well, I secured the bag. This was a big day yesterday. Trader Joe's released a limited edition bag.

[A]

Oh, you're literal.

[D]

Literal bag. And I wanted to get them for my bachelorette party, but the thing was, is I needed 16. So I was like, how am I gonna go about this? And then I called and they're like, well, we have a 12 person limit or a 12 bag limit per person.

[A]

Really?

[D]

Yeah. Surprisingly right. You. You would think it would be less than that. So I had to go to three different stores, but I secured the bag.

[A]

So they're that in demand bags.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Bags are that in demand again?

[D]

Oh, that demand.

[E]

And which bags?

[C]

What kind of bag?

[D]

So they released new ones for the summer, and they're smaller than their typical ones, and they're striped and they're different colors, so they're limited edition.

[A]

I'm watching people line up and Black Friday, these things online right now.

[C]

And they're grocery bags.

[D]

Yeah. I mean, you get. They're canvas tote bags.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

So you can use them for anything.

[F]

But how.

[E]

How much are they?

[A]

This is the greatest PR team in the history.

[E]

Three bucks.

[D]

Yeah. It was wild, though. I was watching people. So you'd go. I'd go to one store, and they had so many when I first went. And then as obviously I went to the different stores, it was starting to get lower and lower inventory. But it was funny to watch people because they would kind of fight over the bin of where they were at. Like, people would want the different colors, and then you'd see people that weren't even interested in the bags. But watching people fight over the bags that then got a bag because they thought they needed a bag.

[A]

So why

[D]

everybody loves Trader Joe's. I love Trader Joe's. Like, and I really love my Trader Joe's bags. They are really great bags, I'll say that. But I don't. I don't know. I think people just want what other people want. That's limited edition, honestly.

[A]

Will you sell any of your bags online?

[D]

I got two extra, so. Oh, I don't know.

[A]

Wait, how many did you get total?

[E]

I got 18 total.

[A]

Okay, but then how do you only have two extra?

[E]

Because I needed 16 to use to shop with for her bachelorette.

[B]

You have 16 bachelorettes?

[E]

Her bachelorette party.

[B]

Wow, that's a lot.

[E]

Bachelorette party. That's so hard.

[B]

That's overkill.

[A]

Okay, okay, now I'm following now. Got it.

[E]

So it's her Party favor. It's like, her gift. She's probably gonna fill it.

[C]

Okay. Yeah, I was gonna save up.

[A]

You can buy them online for 25 bucks each right now.

[D]

Oh, so that's a good $50. I paid three bucks a bag, dude.

[A]

I do Piggly Wiggly bags for the bachelorettes and sell all those for 25 bucks.

[B]

I'm.

[A]

Dude, people are going crazy online over these things. We're in such a fractional world now where something to somebody's big or someone to somebody's big, and to the next person, it's not. I had no idea this was a thing, but I wouldn't have known even about the Stanley mugs until it got so big that people were fighting over them. And that has come and gone.

[C]

Yes, thankfully.

[A]

But for a brief blip, you could have sold them for pretty good online. And people were fighting over those at Target. Well, congratulations, Morgan.

[D]

Thanks. I was really proud of myself that I managed to get all of them. I didn't think it was gonna happen.

[A]

The people at Trader Joe's that work there must see all the people lining up to come in for these 299 striped tote bags. Like, before the doors open and go, these guys are idiot. No offense, Morgan. These guys are such idiots. Lining up for hours to get a tote bag. That's 299.

[E]

Well, I don't think Morgan was there for hours.

[A]

No. But I'm sure there are people are.

[B]

She went to three stores.

[A]

She drove around.

[C]

That's a lot.

[E]

Okay, well, they don't know that.

[A]

No, I know. I'm just saying the people that work there, they have to look at people in line for the bags and go, what are they doing?

[D]

Oh, I, for sure, in the moment, was like, I'm a crazy person. I feel very crazy.

[A]

That's okay. You got what you want.

[E]

You had a goal like yours.

[A]

That's fun. It's fun, though. Yeah, yeah.

[D]

And I will be really happy when everybody has them. And it's a cute gift, but it was. I really did feel crazy. I was like, why am I one of these people right now?

[A]

Are you revealing something you shouldn't? No. It's not a surprise that you're giving your bridesmaids Trader Joe's bags.

[D]

No. Some of them knew because I was gonna have to enlist some of their help to go get them if I couldn't go to other stores.

[A]

Have you guys done anything like this? Not Trader Joe's specific, but when something new comes out, like, go wait for it, because I don't think it's all crazy. And I think if you're filling your cup and it's fulfilling and it's fun, great. You can wait 100 hours. I don't give a crap. That's awesome. You're not hurting anybody.

[C]

Back in the day, when Pearl Jam would release an album, they would have, like. If you were the first hundred to go to Best Buy, you would get a. Like, a video as well. So I would do that.

[A]

Vhs.

[C]

It was like a dvd, an extra bonus dvd. So I would do that. Or a poster.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Cool.

[A]

It's cool.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I waited in line a long time for, like, a ride once. I'm not a line guy.

[C]

Roller coaster.

[A]

Yeah. Now water park. Shoulder blind. There's only opened up a new. I was in the Big Brothers program, so I took my little brother and it was the one ride you wanted to ride. We waited in line for an hour and 50 minutes.

[C]

Brutal.

[A]

The whole thing was 40 seconds down the tube.

[B]

But awesome, huh?

[E]

I love Schlotter Vaughn.

[B]

Schlitterbahn is so good.

[A]

I wouldn't do it again, but that's the. I'm just not a big line waiter. I'm so impatient. So never an iPhone?

[C]

No, no, no. Those guys camp, right?

[B]

Oh, they camp.

[C]

I've done it at concerts, too. Have you ever done that back in the day, like, where you get there super early and it's like, to get

[A]

in or for general mission up front.

[C]

Yeah, I've done that with pearl jam and U2. Took my wife one time. She was like, what are we doing?

[A]

I mean, I guess the problem for me would be I'm gonna be so tired by the time the show even happens because I've had to get there so early that it's not gonna be worth it.

[B]

Now you're fueling yourself with other things.

[A]

I am not, though.

[B]

No, I know you're not, but.

[A]

And then I gotta pee.

[C]

True.

[B]

That's the. I don't know how you do that.

[C]

Well, you make friends. You make friends there, and then, like, you pee. Can you hold my spot?

[A]

But you can leave the front of GA and then come back. Yeah, I would think people would be. No, no, no.

[C]

Oh, you mean once you're in.

[B]

No, you pee in a bottle.

[C]

That's tough.

[E]

He's talking about the line to get in.

[C]

Yeah, I thought that's what we were saying.

[A]

No, I'm talking about once you get to the front because you. It's a mad dash. You get to the front, you're up on the gate because Coldplay's playing ACL later that night. And you want to get up on the gate because you want to be. You can't really leave.

[C]

I remember there were times where I would. I have to. I have to go. Like, right. I gotta use the bathroom. And I would pick the line that I was gonna exit and see all the people face to face. I'll be right back. I gotta go pee. I'll be right back. Okay. I'll be right back. And then once I come back, I see those same people, and, like, it's me. It's me. Let me through. Let me through. And they kind of helped. Oh. Part the sea, you know, to let me get back.

[A]

Mm. That's tough. I'm probably the guy that's yelling, cutter, but I'm covering my face. You don't know it's me, Cutter. The guy's cutting. That's fun. Morgan. I like it for you.

[D]

Yeah, it was a good day.

[A]

I don't like it for me. I like it for you. Trader Joe's pretty solid, though.

[C]

That checkout line stresses me out.

[A]

Why?

[C]

I don't know. It's just. There's no, like, belt. It's kind of like, where do I stand?

[F]

You know?

[A]

That's interesting about the belt. I feel it's because people don't get as many groceries at Trader Joe's. Like, I don't. From the times I've been. And look, I don't grocery shop often. I go to Trader Joe's maybe five times a year.

[F]

Four.

[A]

Okay. I'm like three. But enough. Right? And so. And it's only if my wife, she's like, hey, go with me. So I don't ever see, like, if we go to Kroger, somebody with a massive full cart of groceries, and then, you know, you got to. I don't see that at Trader Joe's.

[C]

No, Never.

[E]

Yeah, but even if you do, like, I've had a full car before. You just wheel your full card up, and they scan everything out of the cart.

[C]

Out of the cart. Which is weird. I'm like. Because I'm like, what do I do with my stuff? Do I help you do this?

[E]

No, you just go stand by the credit card machine.

[B]

Is it because the conveyor belt takes up so much space, like, of their. Their whole store?

[E]

Yeah. It's really not necessary.

[G]

If you think.

[B]

Right, right. You can.

[A]

Conveyor belt. Ooh.

[C]

I think.

[A]

I think I'd argue that.

[E]

Well, but to Trader Joe's point, it's. They're saying it's not necessary.

[A]

It's part. Yes. I think it's part of their aesthetic. And I think also it's a little more expensive.

[E]

Yeah, they're able to.

[A]

So that's why I don't see as. I don't see as many people that.

[E]

Are Trader Joe's more expensive.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

No.

[A]

Oh, it's not.

[G]

No.

[D]

Definitely on the cheaper side of things.

[E]

No. No.

[A]

How is it not more expensive?

[E]

I get an organic bag of spinach for $2.

[A]

I just see the word organic. I think it's more expensive.

[C]

It's affordable. For sure.

[E]

At my other grocery stores. 450. It's like half.

[A]

Trader Joe's costs less than other places.

[E]

Yes.

[D]

Yeah. I'd say it's right above Aldi. Like. Like, it's Aldi and then there's Trader Joe's.

[B]

I just been to Trader Joe's for the first time in the last couple months, and I did notice how they. There's on their shelves. They just kind of put it in the box. Like, it's like, really easy. They don't. There's not a lot of shelf space, like where they're individual things. It's like a.

[A]

Feels like an old, old general store

[E]

kind of produces less. Flowers are less.

[A]

Like, if my mind is blown that that place costs less. I would think because of the vibe. It costs more.

[E]

No. If you need fresh flowers, that is the place to go because you can get them for a really good deal.

[C]

And maybe it's less expensive because they don't have conveyor belts there.

[B]

That's what I'm saying. You save a lot of money.

[A]

Mike, what do you see about conveyor belts at Trader Joe's? There reason. Yeah. So they can keep, like, maintenance cost. Lows maintenance cost. They don't have to maintain them.

[C]

There we go.

[E]

They pass that savings on to the customer over in that bagged lettuce.

[C]

And we appreciate that organic bag. Did the mandarin chicken at Trader Joe's.

[A]

Does every city have Trader Joe's?

[E]

No.

[A]

Is it regional or just random?

[E]

I don't know.

[D]

I think it's random.

[E]

In the places I've lived. They've always had it.

[A]

But what do you think? Can you look that up?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Let's see.

[D]

I will say, too. I think. I think you have like 15% of people that will go to Trader Joe's and get all their groceries. But most people go for specialty items. They'll do grocery shopping somewhere else and then go to Trader Joe's for specific things that they.

[E]

Or the produce.

[A]

Guess how many states it's in.

[B]

I see it.

[C]

25, Amy.

[A]

1342.

[E]

Okay. Wow. So it's.

[A]

And DC growing a lot, so. Yeah, it's grown a lot. 600 locations. It was like Chick Fil A for a long time. Chick Fil a was just in the south and southeast.

[C]

In the mall, too.

[E]

Only in the mall, they've definitely, like, Morgan was saying, their specialty items, like, they're known for certain things, like their cookie butter. It's like, oh, you got to go to Trader Joe's and get the cookie.

[A]

My mind's blown to that place.

[E]

Oh, you got to go to Trader Joe's and get the elote chips.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Why'd you look at Eddie when you

[C]

said that with big eyes?

[A]

Wow. She was like, eddie, I feel you.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Because Eddie likes stuff like that.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Hey, interesting.

[A]

I don't have my don't be a racist shirt on. Everybody, Everyone. I want to open it up for her.

[E]

No, they are. They're like Fritos, but covered in, like, what would be on Mexican Street? Corn. Like, the spices and.

[A]

Tell us more. Tell us more. What is so good? All right, Morgan. Thank you, Lunchbox. Tell me something good.

[B]

Yeah. So my kids had a swim meet the other day, and their first swim meet, my son did backstroke and hated it. It's like, I'm never doing that again. But he did the backstroke again, and he got eight out of nine people. So, I mean, he did not win, but he did last. It wasn't last, but it did it. Yeah, he did it again because he said it was terrifying the first time because he would go, like, two strokes, grab onto the rope. Two strokes, grab on the rope. He's like, dad, I'm never doing backstroke again. But worse, worst stroke, it's so hard.

[A]

Worse stroke is a backstroke.

[C]

I have a question. Yeah. So I don't want to get too personal, but does that mean that your son doesn't have your disorder because you couldn't do a backstroke?

[B]

I can do a backstroke.

[A]

Oh, that's not a full backstroke. That's you.

[B]

I mean, I'm in the water.

[A]

That's you being fabulous.

[B]

Hold on. I gotta do that again.

[A]

Do that again. Oh, I'm fabulous. Because your arms can't all the way up.

[C]

You gotta get back.

[A]

Yeah. You're like, oh, fabulous.

[B]

When I'm in the water, I can do it.

[A]

Do it again. Look. Oh, fabulous. Yeah.

[B]

That's not what it's saying.

[A]

You can't reach your arm all the way up. So it's just kinda like you're flicking.

[C]

Yeah, but because Your shoulders are messed up, right?

[B]

I don't know if my. I don't think it's my shoulders that are messed up. It's somewhere's. Elbows, elbows. Somewhere in there.

[C]

What can't you do?

[B]

Touch my shoulders? Can't pat myself on the back.

[A]

Your elbows look pretty good.

[F]

Do.

[A]

Do elbows. Okay, so they lock him up. Take your middle fingers and touch your shoulder with your middle fingers.

[B]

My middle fingers.

[C]

Come on, lower, lower.

[B]

I can't.

[D]

He can't.

[E]

He's shaking.

[A]

That's got to be shoulder.

[E]

I think it's limited.

[B]

I think. No, because this is the part that can't move. Yeah, Like, I can't move this past right there.

[E]

Like, I'm able to go, oh, I can't.

[A]

I can't go past this. You can't touch your shoulder then.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

All I do is watch.

[E]

Okay, see? So maybe it says elbow in his wrist.

[C]

Wait, wait. You're almost there, dude. Go lower.

[B]

I can't. I literally can't. Like, it just. It locks up.

[C]

And do your kids. Are they able to do that?

[B]

I haven't tested them yet. Because I don't want to know.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

What's crazy about just genetics is that, like, I have. It's hard, but I have a cowlick, like, here, here. This side, it got splits, right? And there's a part that goes all the way down through here. And Billy has the same exact cowlick. And I have one right here in the back of my head that I've had forever, and she has the same exact one. It's crazy. It's pretty amazing that a cowlick is passed down.

[B]

That's weird.

[A]

Two cowlicks have passed down.

[C]

Yeah. And then you're gonna start seeing characteristics.

[E]

The dad.

[B]

Yeah, because my dad.

[A]

But I didn't know if cowlicks would get passed down. Me neither, but what'd you say?

[B]

My dad can barely touch his shoulders with the tip of his thumb, and my dad's grandpa could not touch his shoulders.

[C]

Wow. Sit down.

[A]

One of your guys get cursed by, like, some sort of witch back in the day, generations ago.

[C]

You will not be able to ask

[B]

my cousins on that side of the family if they can do it. Like, I wonder if.

[E]

Yeah, y' all should definitely figure out get together and who else impacted by this.

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know. Today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[B]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.

[A]

Okay, well, that's cool about your kid doing it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Finishing it. Will he do it again?

[B]

Yeah, I think he will now. I think he's okay. I think he was a little. Just scared after that first one, but he did it. And I mean, he did it again, so I assume he'll do it again. I don't know. But I will never see it.

[A]

That sure sucks. Yeah. Because you can't. Because.

[B]

Yeah, it's on Tuesday morning, so.

[E]

Yes. Cowlicks are hereditary.

[A]

It's wild.

[B]

Wow.

[E]

Meaning they can be passed down from parents to their children. Genetics play a significant role in determining where and how cowlicks appear as your hair grows.

[A]

Who knew?

[C]

Did you have trouble getting a buzz

[A]

cut because of your calyx, the one in the back? It just looks like, you know, if you draw a tornado or hurricane, but you look from the top, it's like a circle. It's always done that because it's like two and it's like a circle. So the hair is never. It's always just grown really weird. Like if I'm growing my hair out now just because. And it does this in all different directions. So when I Buzzed it. It just looked like a tornado on top of my head.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And then this one here is just like a normal park cowlick, but the baby has it, too. I just saw in a picture, and I was like that. I didn't know it was. I didn't look it up. I didn't care enough about it.

[E]

I just looked it up just now because I was curious. I have one right here, my left side back.

[A]

I was petrified. At, like, 11, I was going bald. I was like, I'm already going bald. I see Anderson Cooper on Channel one. I'd be like, he's gray. I must be going bald at 11.

[C]

He did have gray hair.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Just ended up being a big old fat cow. Amy, what do you got?

[E]

So yesterday, I had a meeting for something I've been working on for a few months now, and.

[A]

You gonna be vague or.

[E]

No, no, I'll share. Cause I feel like now it's actually, I'm getting to.

[A]

What are you kind of. I don't need to know specifics, but we don't know what you're talking about.

[E]

I don't. Okay, so. Well, I was about to get there. I have been working on a keynote and with someone. With someone who helps people write keynotes.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

Do you know what I have for you? If you want. Want it.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

You may not want it.

[E]

Well, what is it?

[A]

I bought those presidential teleprompters a couple years ago that you can't. They're fully clear, so I don't know how long your keynote is.

[E]

Do you travel with them?

[A]

They're in a box. Yeah, I mean, it's a box, but if you ever need them.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

I've never. I've used them twice. I got paid a bunch of money to talk once, and I wrote the speech in a day and did not have it memorized because I wrote it in a day. And so because I knew it was coming down, I bought those. You ever see the clear ones?

[G]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Those are cool. So I bought them, and they were like $4,000.

[E]

Oh, okay. Wow.

[A]

But I was getting paid mega, so it didn't matter.

[E]

Interesting.

[A]

So I bought them, and I've only ever been able to use them once. I'd be so excited if you could use them.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

I didn't mean to interrupt your story.

[E]

Well, no, I'll keep that in mind. My goal is to have one for now that I can cater to if I get hired my. Tell me something. The good part is I finally reached the point to where we're Going to finalize things. And then also part of what she does is she helps me connect with speakers bureaus and putting, like, stuff on my website to where then she can pitch me to people and I can start to get my feet wet in that. Because while I talk here and, you know, gave a talk on the cruise.

[A]

Sunset, Sunset walk, Sunrise walk.

[E]

No, I did a. I did. I did a talk in the theater.

[B]

Yeah. She said be wiggly.

[E]

Whimsy.

[B]

Whimsy. That was her keynote speaker. Was be whimsy.

[E]

It wasn't just that.

[A]

I'm excited for you.

[E]

Thank you. How long is it we. Well, I don't. I don't have that. What's the goal finalized yet?

[A]

What's the goal?

[E]

I would imagine we're making it to where it can be catered to 30 minutes to 45 if need be. And she said what she likes to do is once you are hired by somebody, you work in different things that personalize it to that group. But otherwise, it's a pretty good template that I can really work with and bring in.

[A]

What's your specialty? Like, you're speaking on.

[D]

We are.

[E]

I am doing more of the whimsy thing. Mostly the theme is what you talk.

[A]

Your keynote's whimsiness.

[E]

No, it's not the name of it. But be whimsy. You can either choose to be playful or paralyzed. Because for me, what I realized in getting stuck in certain things, if I incorporate play into my life, it helps me get unstuck. Because if you're going through something, you've got the paralyzed part where that's where you get stuck. And you can loop and then you're not making any. You have no momentum. You're not moving anywhere. You stay stuck in that. Or if you add playful and whimsy into your life. And there's a lot of statistics out there for playfulness.

[A]

Personally, who would hire you to do this version, this speech?

[E]

Well, that's the thing. She said there are so many groups out there like, you would have. There's, like, mom groups, there's businesses, like, where they don't want to bring in someone that's, like, specific to what they do day to day, but how to add into their productivity and how. There are tons of articles. I read one on Forbes yesterday about how fun in the workplace leads to more productivity. And some people may be.

[A]

Why do you keep pointing at me with your hand?

[E]

Because y' all don't want ever to do little group activities like I like to do.

[A]

And so you're pointing at Me with your hand? Like you're holding me back for some reason.

[E]

No, I'm.

[B]

I got a question.

[E]

Hold on. So there are some people that may not be into whimsy in the workplace, but it's that. That they could do it personally with themselves. Like, even when they're ways that I've incorporated at home and how I talk to myself while I'm cooking and I get my kids involved in impromptu dance parties or like, one that I got from someone online a couple of years ago. And I love doing it, and my kids love it. Anytime we're cooking is. You can talk to the food and you say things like, oh, my God, Amy's.

[C]

I'm out.

[B]

Hold on. People are going to hire you to tell them to talk to.

[E]

I'm telling you my speech. I'm giving you.

[B]

Are we serious?

[E]

No, I was asking you my speech.

[A]

Okay, I know. I'm not asking for your speech. I'm saying I get hired to speak for different things. Right? I've got, like, four different areas that people will hire me to speak for.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

And there is a header on each of them on what I can speak about, because the header is really what identifies what your expertise is. And then everything else can fall under. What is your header?

[E]

Well, we'll go. I don't. I mean, I know the. I don't know that I've labeled it as a header, I guess.

[A]

Well, like, what if someone's like, we want to hire a speaker, why would they hire you?

[E]

Right. I even asked her that exact thing.

[A]

I'm asking. This is the exercise. I'm asking you.

[E]

No, I literally asked her that yesterday because I said I started to feel like, you know, like, we've made a lot of progress. And then I went a little bit backwards because I was like, what am I even doing? Like, why would someone even hire me for this?

[A]

That's normal, though. That's normal. But I'm asking you, why would they hire you?

[E]

Because I'm someone in the last five years where I felt very, very stuck, and I used playfulness to get out of where I was paralyzed. I think you can get stuck in work. I think you can get stuck in home life. I think there are certain things you can do. There are certain situations that happen in life that are unavoidable. And then what are you going to do with it and what is possible now from it? And I have different life examples that I've worked in that I can share and then talk about how the. By paying attention, I was able to Be intentional with my playfulness. And some of that was even challenging myself to take an improv class. Getting outside of your comfort zone.

[A]

Is all this your header?

[E]

I don't know. I don't know what the header is because I have not referred to it as that. But the overall arching theme, which now lunchbox is completely. You can't look at him though, crapping on.

[A]

But no, no, no, no. He's never done anything like that.

[E]

So you can't look at him like incorporating whimsy into your life. Because I think when we're kids, sometimes that comes naturally. As adults, we're not intentional enough with our whimsy.

[A]

I understand. I'm not being convinced on if it's good or not. Cause I'm sure you'll do a great job.

[E]

I do think that what you have

[A]

to find is good. Right. But unless you can get people in the house by what's on the outside, they're never gonna get to see how cool the furniture is.

[E]

Right.

[A]

So you could have the greatest speech ever.

[E]

Well, that's where I told her that I was struggling with, like, if I've done a live podcast, I have that built in audience that shows up. Like, I've never pitched myself to some random audience. Right.

[A]

Well, you don't have to, but she's gonna have to with whatever you're.

[E]

She will. And she said, trust me, I'm gonna have no problem finding stuff for you. And like the variety of people out there that have various conferences now, I don't think it's gonna be anything like on the level that you're. You have done.

[A]

No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm just trying to help you.

[E]

Yeah. I'm open for.

[A]

People will just scroll through 500 people and find a line. They're gonna see what they're gonna. If they don't know them, they're just gonna look at one line and go like, do we. Is this. Does this fit the limit to like 12 people? And they'll discuss the 12 people and pick the person they're going to pay.

[E]

Right.

[A]

Like that line.

[E]

So I need to ask her, what's my header?

[A]

It's. That line is as important.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

As what your speech is.

[E]

Yeah, I'm sure when we. Obviously I'm not to that point where she's pitching me yet, but we're getting close.

[A]

I mean, even building that out, defeating emotional paralysis day to day, whatever it is, you just got to have a specialty because they're not going to hear what you're saying. Or even if somebody's pitching.

[E]

Yeah, I'll ask her the header. No, she's really. I've been so thankful at the part of my gratitude and my. Tell me something good is, by the way, in which I met her and decided to hire her and work with her. And she's just been a gift. Like, she's very talented, and she lives out of the country, so lining up our times has been very difficult. But she's worked with me on that, and so that's been helpful. So I'm just. I'm thankful for her. Her expertise, and I will ask her. What's my header lunchbox.

[A]

Now you can ask your question.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, maybe I'm. I mean, this is crazy. I can't believe. And maybe I. This is how. Maybe I maybe need to think outside the box and wider. But I can't believe someone would pay you to come in there and tell them to have fun.

[E]

Yeah, we'll believe it.

[C]

Dang.

[B]

Then I guess I need to start doing it, because I have fun all the time.

[E]

And, I mean, it's not as simple as that. I'm gonna be working.

[B]

No, it is.

[C]

You got to talk to your food and stuff. You don't do that.

[E]

No, that's a good point.

[A]

I think about that.

[E]

That's a silly example of, like, when you're. You're. You're peeling your garlic knife and you say, time to take your coat off.

[B]

Oh, my God, that sounds like you have. Why do you need help?

[A]

Hey, what if Amy's being pitched as, like, a looney person, but she doesn't know it? They're like, you'll be perfect. Yes.

[B]

Hey, like, you're eating a banana. Time to take off your blanket. Like, what. What are we doing?

[E]

No lunchbox. I don't think you're missing, like, the whole.

[A]

I understand your.

[E]

What I would be brought in to do. And maybe you have plenty of whimsy in your life, and it's good. Or maybe you've never been in a life situation where you have felt stuck and paralyzed and how.

[B]

I know you've had harder things go on in your life, and I. I get that.

[A]

I can't tell if he's kidding or not. No, I'm being like, if he's being.

[B]

I'm being either.

[A]

Like, I don't know. This is.

[E]

You want to talk about the most vulnerable place to share with y' all what I've been working on, like,

[C]

right now?

[B]

Seriously, you've been through a lot harder things than I have in your life.

[E]

I left that meeting yesterday so confident,

[A]

and then now I'm like, who shot your confidence? Lunchbox.

[G]

Lunchbox.

[B]

Wait, all of you guys. Don't act like I was going, bullies.

[E]

I'm so supportive. Eddie's like, this is stupid. I can tell.

[A]

I was offering Amy. I was offering Amy a prompter y and going, hey, here's why people hire people. It's not because of how good your speech is. It's because of how good they think your speech is going to be and what it's about. And then you just got to get there and do the speech.

[C]

And, Amy, I really haven't said anything,

[E]

so I. Yeah, you did.

[B]

You made a joke about the joke.

[A]

That's what I do. I make little jokes.

[C]

I make a little joke.

[E]

Yeah, you make little jokes.

[A]

You did say. You didn't say talk to your food, you know.

[E]

No, I'm saying simple ways you can work whimsy.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Amy's like, then hump your car. And we're like, what? I can't believe you guys say hump your car. You think that's not what I do.

[E]

No, no, no, no, no. Anyway, you talk to your dishes. It's time to take have.

[C]

Okay. See? Love it.

[B]

You do not say that. You really say.

[E]

Oh, my God.

[A]

My only advice is find a reason that they should hire you more so than have a great speech. Only because you can have a great speech, but unless.

[E]

Yeah, I'm. I'm absolutely certain.

[A]

You have to be an expert in something.

[E]

Speech done. Like, which we're getting to that. That we will work through. Yeah. How it's going to be.

[A]

I'm pumped for you because you'll do a great job.

[E]

I've. I mean, that's why I wanted your script, though. I wanted to take this so seriously. That's why I'm paying someone that can help guide me, because, yes, to your point, sticking my script, I can go all over the place. I have done my live events where

[A]

I. Yeah, but they came for you.

[E]

Exactly. I understand. Yes. That's where I have felt different. It's where this has felt different for me. And I do know that I can leave myself a little wiggle room to be in the moment.

[G]

A little.

[A]

A little.

[E]

Okay, fine. I'll use the prompter. Drop it off. Okay.

[A]

I'm rooting for you. I want to. I can't wait to see how this goes. I generally have your best interest at heart.

[E]

I haven't even talked to you about this, and I've been in preparation for months because I knew the minute we started to really get close to it that you would be excited for me, because if this is something that you would encourage any of us to do.

[B]

Yeah, I don't act like I'm not excited for you.

[A]

When have you ever been excited for anything?

[E]

Especially knowing that I'm going to make money?

[B]

I am just shocked that you can literally get up there and talk and say, hey, talk to your dishes. That'll make your life more fun.

[A]

Hired me at 1 and 2. That's not the whole thing. She was just giving, like, an example of something.

[E]

Little examples of wins.

[A]

Regardless, I'm rooting for you.

[C]

There you go.

[A]

I'll do mine very quickly.

[E]

Does that tell me. Does that tell me something suck or something?

[C]

No, it's good.

[B]

That was really good. That was good.

[A]

It's good. I got asked yesterday, and I've been asked before. Just timing hasn't worked out, but I'm gonna go and host the Radio hall of Fame induction ceremony this year in Chicago. And the reason I'm doing it this year is because Bob Pittman, our CEO, is being inducted.

[E]

Oh, wow.

[C]

That's cool.

[A]

Yep. And so I'm gonna go host that, tell some jokes. But also, my favorite football player ever growing up is also being inducted.

[B]

Oh, who went to Arkansas?

[C]

Boomer.

[A]

Boomer's nice. And, yeah, really into the Radio hall

[E]

of Fame because he's a radio show.

[A]

Yeah. New York sports guy.

[C]

Dang, dude. That's cool.

[A]

So, yeah, I got hit up yesterday, and they said, hey, it's not around these couple events. I always go, I can't do it, because these events. And they said, bob's going in. Would you do it? And I was like, I'll do it. So I'm gonna go. I got this thing about talking to food. This bit I'm gonna do well.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Do you have your header?

[A]

Yeah, I got mine. They already hired me. I don't need one.

[C]

Yeah.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

Maybe I'll hit you up for some banana blanket stories or whatever.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

So, yeah, that's. That's my quick version.

[C]

That's pretty cool. Yeah.

[A]

All right. Everybody good?

[E]

I think so.

[A]

Everybody felt good.

[B]

Yeah, man.

[A]

I'm rooting for you. He's jealous of you. Eddie just makes jokes.

[B]

Hold on, hold on. I make a joke.

[C]

You were not joking.

[A]

You were not joking, but you weren't either, Eddie.

[C]

Yes, I was. Talking to your food is funny.

[E]

Somebody's gonna pay you.

[B]

No, literally, I am. Like, I did not know you could get paid to say, hey, you need to have more Fun in your life.

[A]

Hold on.

[C]

That's the joke.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

It's not a joke.

[D]

All right.

[A]

That's not joke.

[B]

Eddie's laughing.

[A]

All right, Ray, get us out of here. We got roadside assistance coming to the rescue. So roadside was called. And so they get there. Boo, boo doo. Chester arrives. He's like, hey, got your call.

[C]

I'm here to help.

[A]

So they had a baby born in the car right then. And roadside assistance gets there, and it's like, okay, I can help you. And so the baby was also struggling. So he helped clear the baby's airway, stimulate the baby until the first breath, because they were also. It was an emergency call. And I don't know is roadside. Because it says department of Transportation, roadside assistance. Do they call them first before an ambulance? Or is it, like, anybody out there that's got a speaker, I would imagine,

[E]

who can get there any.

[A]

But, like, when I hire roadside assistance, it's like some guy named Sean pulling up in an F150. Yeah, right.

[C]

With a blinking light.

[A]

Yeah. It's like, hey, man, I got you. I got some. Fix the flat regardless, because I'm not sure why this person was called, but good thing he was Chester nailed it. Cleared the baby's airway all together. They got him to the hospital. The baby was born 6 pounds, 18 inches long. That's what's up.

[E]

It's awesome.

[C]

I have Woodchester.

[A]

I was just confused by the roadside assistance thing. Like, if you call aaa, do they need to be CPR certified?

[B]

Now, Triple A is different. It's like those cars you see here, they're like official emergency vehicles on the highway. They have the yellow lights and everything. They just drive around, so they happen to be close by. I guess they're trained.

[A]

Oh, those are the ones I think are cops. And I'm like, oh, better slow down. And they drive by. And I'm like, no. I could have kept going fast.

[B]

All right, there you go.

[A]

That's what it's all about. Tell me something good.

[E]

Shout out to some girl Scouts in West Virginia because they helped Send more than 6,500 boxes of cookies to local veterans.

[A]

Oh, coincidentally, I ate that many Thin mints this year out of way too many. Yeah, that's awesome.

[E]

Yeah, Specifically, West Virginia Gold Star Mothers Association. They worked in partnership with them and West Virginia National Guard Foundation.

[A]

That's great. We always love when people give to people that have served and are serving. I'm gonna tell you, you eat one Thin Mint, you gotta eat the whole box.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You can't stop they're just thin enough and I freeze them. Of course, if they were a little thicker, I think I would have less, but they're just thin enough where it's like. That wasn't very filling. And there's no dairy in thin mints.

[C]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[A]

That's why I can eat them.

[E]

Eddie's like, I'm in. Is it processed?

[C]

What about the chocolate?

[A]

Nah, it's processed, bro.

[C]

Is the chocolate not dairy?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Whenever. I probably process. I don't know, whenever I looked it up, they said thin mints.

[E]

Really?

[A]

Yeah. Here we go. Thin mints do not contain dairy ingredients.

[C]

That's for you.

[A]

They contain plant based, vegan ingredients. They are manufactured in facilities that process dairy. That's okay.

[E]

That's okay.

[A]

I can be dairy adjacent.

[E]

It's dairy contact.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes I'll say, hey, I can't have dairy. I'll get sick. And they'll go, well, our kitchen has dairy. I'm like, well, good for you. I can still have that, though. So, yeah, good for them. Good job. What was it? What troop was that?

[E]

Girl Scouts of Black Diamond.

[A]

Nice.

[C]

Sounds cool.

[A]

Nice.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

They sound like a biker gang.

[C]

All right.

[A]

There you go. That's what it's all about.

[E]

That was.
