7. Never Gonna Get It Game

• Trivia: “First ones of THESE cost $12, now over $1,000. What is it?”

• Hints include year (1967) and Wisconsin.
• Correct answer: Super Bowl I tickets ($12 then; now resale is thousands).
• Eddie nearly gets it with “Packers tickets,” but no one nails the Super Bowl connection, so the caller “Katrina” doesn’t win.

8. Lunchbox’s Sports Announcer Audition

• Lunchbox exudes confidence and determination.

9. Amy’s Corny Morning Joke Segment

• [52:37–54:28]

• Sample joke:
  • “Why do pimples make horrible prisoners?”

• Surprised how expensive “super speeder” fines are in Florida: up to $11,000 and 30 days in jail.

11. Seat-Saving Etiquette Fiasco

• [57:11–59:15]
• Eddie describes losing his seats at a basketball game after saving them by leaving his phone in the stands.
• Group debates the logic: most would think a lone phone means “lost item,” not “saved seat.”
• Bobby:

  “I feel like a phone maybe saves one seat. Although, I’m not leaving my phone behind. That’s too expensive.” (58:12)

• Amy advises that asking neighbors to watch your seats is more effective than leaving valuables behind.

  “I can talk on a voice for four to five minutes, no problem.” (09:12)

• Lunchbox (on insecurity):

  “I'm the most insecure about not being rich, man. Like, I want to be able to flaunt, and I can't flaunt.” (17:51)

  “My kids now are just like, hey guys, what is 81? Dad, don't answer this. What's 81 times—I'm like, okay. All right, guys.” (17:38)
