Segregation in the day, integration at night. It was like stepping in another world.

Was he a businessman? A criminal? A hero?

Charlie was an example of power. They had to crush him.

Bowen Yang
Right around the room. Amy, what's up?
Amy
So there's this guy on Instagram. He has a million followers. His name is Barrett Paul, or P A L L. And he's a former model and activist. And he's alleged that he was trafficked.
Bowen Yang
And, well, we get started with some dark stuff every day.
Amy
Wow, it's dark out there.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, it is dark out there.
Amy
And exploited.
Bowen Yang
He.
Amy
He was a model, allegedly says he alleges he was trafficked and sexually exploited by former Abercrombie and Fitch CEO and his partner, also through the Epstein's. So there's a relation there. But the real thing here is he's sharing his account. Has been for years. This is nothing new. He's like, now, like, okay, now, are y' all listening to what I've been saying? But his videos are now starting out with, I am. I have. I have been in therapy. I am recovered from my trauma. I use the word recovered. That's my word. But he's in a good place. Like, he's worked through it. He's like, I am okay. I am speaking out against this regularly on purpose. If I don't show up for some reason, something happened, I am not going to harm myself. My therapist knows I'm not gonna harm myself. My partner knows I'm not gonna harm myself. Like, he's sending a message saying, if something happens to me, like, suicide.
Bowen Yang
It ain't suicide.
Amy
He's just not coming out and saying that directly. But it's what he means. Which is crazy to think that people that are speaking out and sharing their experience have to even have that thought in the back of their mind that somehow they could be eliminated.
Bowen Yang
I'm seeing more people post that, too. Like, hey, I'm not going to take my long life. So if something happened to me.
Amy
Right.
Bowen Yang
It wasn't me.
Matt Rogers
Whoa.
Bowen Yang
Hey, I do want to take this call for a second. Hey, just go to Tanya in Idaho, because I'm not sure how breaking this is. Hey, Tanya.
Tanya
Hey.
Bowen Yang
Hey, you're on. It says you have some breaking news.
Tanya
No, no, no. That's not what I said. I told her how upset I was last night by watching the Olympics when they broke in. When NBC broke in with breaking news, stating that they brought someone in for questioning, and then it ends up not being that person that kidnapped Savannah's mother.
Bowen Yang
Got it. Okay.
Tanya
So I know that someone's mother is missing, and I feel for that. But to break into the Olympics, you know that everybody is watching.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Tanya
With some breaking news stating, you know, that. Could I just tell that. Could have waited, you know, for, like, the local news or something. I don't feel that they should have broke into the Olympics.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. What do we think they should break into programming for? Because everybody has a phone, so we all have access to the news all the time. I feel like weather is something they should break in. If it's tornado, it's severe.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
If people's lives can be at risk, I think if it's People could possibly get hurt or die, I'm all for breaking in. If it's something that is so culturally moving, I'm okay with people breaking in. I agree. I don't think that's. That's the move to break in, especially if they don't really have the person. And they didn't have the person.
Matt Rogers
No.
Amy
They brought them in for questioning.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
But here's the thing. Last night, the Olympics, that's a rerun. So, like, it's almost like watching an old show. It's not live Olympics. It all happened during the day, but.
Bowen Yang
It'S not a rerun because they haven't run it yet. Yeah, they ran it live in the middle of night.
Matt Rogers
No. And during the day when it happened. And then at night, they run it.
Bowen Yang
Live, and then they run it again at prime time. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
You can watch it, like, right now.
Lunchbox
You know, And I don't think a kidnapping of just. I understand that Savannah Guthrie is famous. She is. That is not newsworthy to break into the Olympics, which is the biggest thing in the world.
Bowen Yang
Well, I don't think the Olympics are that big, but I would say that the fact they didn't have the person and it was just somebody of.
Matt Rogers
Sure.
Bowen Yang
We're questioning somebody. That makes me go. I don't. I agree with her.
Amy
Mm.
Bowen Yang
I don't think that's a break into the Olympics type thing. I don't think. Listen, it could be king of Queens. I don't think it's a break in if it's not something where they have absolute proof that something happened. And if something is so culturally relevant.
Matt Rogers
It's just that when that video was. Well, it's one of the videos. The. I guess the guy. But, like, when something happens in this. Because this is the first that any. There was the development for how many days where we sat with nothing happening. Nothing. And then they finally got a development. I think they kind of decided, like, ooh, it's the time to break it.
Bowen Yang
That development happened at, like, noon yesterday.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Like, as soon as we were off the air, we're talking about it. It's like, boom. New news. Can't do anything about it.
Amy
I feel like what would maybe make more sense is if they had that footage and they're trying to get answers, and they're like, here's the number to the FBI. Call this number if you've seen anything. All right, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Bowen Yang
Your regularly scheduled snow, but competing in snow.
Amy
But instead, it was like. I mean, I didn't see it. But what she's saying is it broke in to say, we have. We have a person, a new suspect.
Bowen Yang
And then they're having to make judgment calls all the time. So.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, but is it on the network? Is it on her network? Savannah's like, is it the. Is. Is it on NBC?
Bowen Yang
Yes, because she was gonna go cover the Olympics for NBC, so.
Amy
So maybe that's why.
Bowen Yang
Maybe. I think we watch the news all the time. You know, does anybody even watch the news anymore? Like the real news lunch trucks?
Amy
I think does.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I do sometimes.
Bowen Yang
It used to be a real thing that people would stay up and watch the news at 10 or on the East coast, it was at 11. I always thought that was so late for the news. But at 10 o', clock, news came on 5, 6 and 10. And the news people were famous where I grew up. Yeah, like. And we didn't let them Little Rock. But that was the big city where the news was. And I knew all of the anchors. I knew Karen Fuller. I've talked about freaking Ned Permey 100 times. He was the weatherman that was so famous where I'm from. But I agree with you, Tanya. I don't feel like that's break in newsworthy.
Tanya
So rerun. But I didn't get to watch the Olympics yesterday at all because I worked. So I don't get to watch it until 7 o' clock at night when it comes on in Idaho. So to me, it was not a rerun.
Bowen Yang
They needed a scroll. A scroll would have worked there. Across the bottom of the screen, there's new information. We now have somebody in for questioning for. For the missing case of Nancy Guthrie. We'll update you coming up. Or you can go to our social media at NBC. That's probably the move. If it's a tornado, hurricane, active shooter, if there's something that people can be hurt or die, you break in. Otherwise, I'm with Tanya. Justice for Tanya. Freaking Olympics were interrupted. All right, Tanya. Appreciate that.
Tanya
Call luncheon. I want you to know I love you. You are the best. You are the reason I want listen to the show.
Bowen Yang
There you go.
Tanya
But you guys, all of you, you have a great day.
Bowen Yang
What is it you love about Lunchbox? What is it you love about Lunchbox?
Lunchbox
Don't act like she can't hear us.
Matt Rogers
What?
Lunchbox
She's acting like she can't hear you all of a sudden. Like when you're saying what is something she loves?
Bowen Yang
Don't get mad at her.
Lunchbox
All of a sudden her phone went out and she couldn't hear. She heard the whole conversation. And then.
Bowen Yang
Why are you getting mad at her? I think it was just a phone issue. She loves you. Let her talk about you. Go ahead, Tanya.
Tanya
That is exactly Why? I love blood Box.
Matt Rogers
Why?
Amy
Because he's just like.
Matt Rogers
Cuz he attacks you. He's mad at you for no reason.
Bowen Yang
There was no reason for him to get mad. I was literally trying to let her gas him up.
Amy
She's like, I love chaos.
Bowen Yang
And then he gets mad at her. All right, Tanya, have a great day.
Tanya
You guys too.
Amy
All right, bye.
Bowen Yang
Like, I was really just trying to lean into her, giving you some love. And then you got mad at her.
Lunchbox
Well, I thought she was, like, being sarcastic because the way she was like, what? I can't hear you. Like, she had nothing to say. And I was like, no, I think.
Bowen Yang
It was just a phone. And there was a slight delay. Really?
Amy
And she's like, the rest of you have a good day.
Matt Rogers
And then you attacked her.
Lunchbox
Dude.
Bowen Yang
Here'S my story. Bob Saget is getting a documentary. The late Bob Saget is getting the documentary treatment. The as yet untitled project will reportedly include access to family and fellow comics, rare home videos, and never before seen footage. The film is also expected to show what Saget called his split personality. Going from clean cut guy to raw and dirty comic. Bob Saget obviously was Danny Tanner in Full House. He died at 65 years old. That's from Deadline. That's one of the only shows I've ever walked out of.
Matt Rogers
Oh, his live comedy.
Bowen Yang
Mm. I like Bob Saget. I love Full House. Like, I don't have a problem. Bob Saget. I went to his show at the Paramount in Austin and I was pretty excited about it. Dirty comedy doesn't bother me. It just was dirty for the sake of dirty. Like, there were no jokes. It was just like, fff, F D D D. I was like, what was the joke? Like? I think it was just funny for people to hear him say those words since he was Danny Tanner.
Matt Rogers
Right.
Bowen Yang
It went on for like 20 minutes, and I was like, I think I got the point of this. I think I'm gonna go. And so it wasn't for me. But I don't mind dirty comics. I think it was just the juxtaposition of Danny Tanner and dirty that made most people laugh. And so that's what he was doing. But there's my story. Amy, you already did yours. I'll do another one. So they have the odds for the super bowl halftime show next year. I've already seen them. I'll just do who would you like to play it?
Amy
I don't know.
Bowen Yang
I think it'd be funny if they did, like, K pop. Just so everybody gets mad again. A lot.
Matt Rogers
American.
Amy
Who would it. I mean, was Taylor back in the running again?
Bowen Yang
She's in, yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Bowen Yang
But this is just betting. I'm just asking who you'd like to see do it.
Amy
Taylor.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. That'd be a big one. Yeah, Obviously it'd be a big one.
Matt Rogers
I'd want to see Taylor.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Miley Cyrus is number one odds on the list. I think she's turned it down a couple times. She would be universally beloved. It's hard to not like Miley Cyrus stuff, even if you don't love Miley Cyrus as an artist. Like, I'm a big Miley fan. Used to probably like a few of the things that she does songs. She has bangers for her. So Miley's 1. This is just betting. Cardi B, I think, was 2. The people that wrote this article, they don't know how odds work because they were like, morgan Wallen's the favorite. Morgan's like, plus 1000.
Matt Rogers
That's not fair.
Bowen Yang
No, that was that. He's, like, down at the bottom. But I think they saw the highest number and they thought that meant he had the best odds. Yeah. No, it says Morgan Wallen is the favorite in Super Bowl 61 halftime. He's not. I looked at the odds, and they even had the odds listed. I just think it's somebody who doesn't understand betting odds. He was near the bottom of the people they had listed, but Miley was one. Cardi B was two. Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne was up there. Top four. But it's in LA a lot of times. Not always. They like to do something that is a bit cohesive with the city they're in.
Amy
Hopped off the plane at lax.
Lunchbox
Oh, am I gonna fit in?
Bowen Yang
Yeah. I just think she's a big pop star, but I don't know if you're doing. You can put her in Nashville and that'd make sense.
Amy
I know, but.
Bowen Yang
But I think, like, California bands.
Matt Rogers
Have they done that? Have they done that?
Bowen Yang
They came out as part of a show once. They were brought out by somebody.
Amy
What if they do Tupac's hologram?
Bowen Yang
Did Bruno Mars bring them out?
Lunchbox
Tupac hologram. Be cool.
Bowen Yang
I know Red Hot Chili Peppers came out as something, but they never. Bruno Mars.
Matt Rogers
Oh, he brought them out. That's cool.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
LA Guns N Roses, but. Oh, I don't know. They could do that.
Bowen Yang
You on the chat.
Matt Rogers
That could be really bad.
Amy
No, no, no, no. I don't want that.
Bowen Yang
The Chili Peppers performed during Super Bowl XLVII 2014. Bruno Mars, and they did give it away. Vocals were live. Have you seen the Kid Rock stuff where he's like being accused of lip syncing that show? And he's like, I didn't lip sync, dude. The cameras were just off. That's turned into a bit of a disaster, huh?
Amy
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
I did like Brantley's shirt he was wearing, though. I was surprised to see Brantley in a Louis Vuitton jacket.
Amy
No, I didn't see him.
Bowen Yang
It was like all Louis Vuitton on the top. And I was like, I look pretty good on Brantley. But then I was surprised.
Amy
That's the last guy I would. Yeah, I think that was anything.
Bowen Yang
And it was screaming Louis Vuitton. Like, LV's on the whole top hat, calf in the logo. But I thought it looked good on him. And so I was like, yeah, that's cool. But then all yesterday, kiddo, I was like, I don't lip sync. I'm gonna record it in my living room.
Amy
Oh, gosh.
Bowen Yang
All right. Lil Wayne did not get it when it was in New Orleans. And he wanted it because New Orleans is Lil Wayne. All those rappers from New Orleans. So Lil Wayne's back on the list, but that's it. All right, story, Eddie.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. There's a dating app on campuses now. It started at Stanford, so it's created by the student, and it's called Date Drop. And so what he does is he has everybody takes a survey of 66 questions on campus if they want to find a date, and they all fill out the answers, the questions. And at nine o'clock on Tuesday. Exactly. You get a match. Like this person matches you exactly. Like, you guys should go on a date together. So people are going on dates and like, six other universities is catching on. Might be the next big thing.
Bowen Yang
Date Drop.
Amy
That sounds cool.
Bowen Yang
A couple things. We had this in sixth grade on a Scantron. Remember Scantrons?
Amy
Yes.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bowen Yang
And yeah. So you filled 10 questions and you filled it out and it would tell you who your valentine was. It was also in sixth grade, right. I. I did every circle. I matched with every girl.
Matt Rogers
Do you hack the system by doing every circle?
Bowen Yang
I did every circle. It was one of those small victories. You don't really get dates in sixth grade. And no girls really liked me, so it didn't even work. But I remember every girl had me as one of their matches. Pretty good win for me.
Matt Rogers
Pretty good.
Bowen Yang
Secondly, I saw a story about Grindr, which is the gay app, and there are dudes on there that can pay 500 bucks a month for AI matching. Similar ish and they're the first people, I think, that have launched this. Would you look this up, Mike? And it is 500 bucks a month, which is extremely high. But it takes all the things that you put into it and pictures of what you're doing and finds, like, the perfect compatible match for you and whomever. Here we go. Need a man? Try Grindrs AI Enhanced $500 monthly plan.
Amy
500?
Matt Rogers
That's a lot. But it could be worth it if you're really trying to find the right person.
Bowen Yang
Grindr is aiming to become an AI first company. On Tuesday, the company provided more information about its AI based subscription service, dubbed Edge. The concept of 500 bucks a month also depends on the AI services desired by the user. Man, that's so expensive. Like, there better be a glory hole involved if there's a. If you're paying 500 bucks.
Matt Rogers
Amy, you know what that is? Okay.
Amy
Yeah, I'm good.
Bowen Yang
Okay, just checking. That's expensive for any dating app.
Matt Rogers
It is.
Bowen Yang
I have a friend that is like, super dude. Like, I won't say who he is, but it's like, big guy, athlete, loves, like, talking about how manly he is. And he hit me up for show recommendations the other day. You know what I sent him?
Amy
No, why'd you send him?
Matt Rogers
I know what you said.
Bowen Yang
What?
Matt Rogers
I sent him. He did rivalry.
Lunchbox
He did rivalry.
Bowen Yang
I didn't tell anything about it. I was like, dude, I know you don't like hockey, like, as your main sport, but it doesn't matter. I said, did you like that Disney movie Miracle? And he was like, that was awesome. I was, okay, so you like hockey enough. You should. You should watch that. He's like, what service is it on? I was like, I believe it's on HBO Max or hbo.
Amy
I thought it was on Netflix.
Bowen Yang
Oh, well, I wasn't sure. What is it? I'm pretty sure it's HBO Max.
Unidentified Male Guest
Yeah, it's HBO Max.
Bowen Yang
Okay.
Amy
Just kidding.
Matt Rogers
Did he watch it?
Bowen Yang
I never got a response. He just said, I'll check it out. So I didn't hear anything.
Matt Rogers
He comes back to is awesome.
Amy
It's like, I love that Rex. Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Morgan.
Unidentified Male Guest
So at a Blake Shelton concert in Las Vegas, his residency, he called out a fan in the crowd because the fan was wearing a Luke Bryan T shirt. And he said to the fan, you come to my show wearing Luke Bryant? Cuss word. What's the matter with you? And the guy was like, I love him.
Narrator
And.
Unidentified Male Guest
Or to the girl. And so Blake was like, hey, you can wear some of my merch. I'll buy it for you. And then he, like, called out Luke and said, you ever notice that he always does the y' all sing along? It's because he's too drunk to remember the words to his own songs. He's drunk and high. And then he goes, put that on YouTube.
Bowen Yang
Who said that?
Unidentified Male Guest
Like, about Luke? Like, in public, on the microphone.
Matt Rogers
Other buds, though, right?
Bowen Yang
Oh, yeah. That was totally ingested. I think it's cool that he hooked up with merch.
Amy
Oh, did he?
Unidentified Male Guest
For sure, yeah.
Bowen Yang
I don't know. He said that on the mic.
Unidentified Male Guest
He said he did, but, like, have you guys ever worn somebody else's shirt to somebody's concert?
Bowen Yang
No. Well, Lunchbox is someone who says you can't wear the artist up there singing.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you look like a tool, but you also look like a tool if you wear another artist. It's sort of like going to a. Let's just say you're going to an Angels vs Dodgers game and you wear a Giants shirt. Makes no sense. Like, it's so dumb to go to someone else's concert with a different artist shirt on and with their show. And it's like, oh, look at me. I idolize you. You already showed them that you're a fan by buying a ticket and showing up.
Bowen Yang
Somebody buys a ticket for you and you're just going along.
Lunchbox
But just going is enough. You don't need to be wearing their shirt in the merch. It looks so dumb. And especially the people that buy the merch that night and put it on immediately.
Bowen Yang
Oh, loser.
Matt Rogers
I don't think so.
Bowen Yang
Who knew he was such a fashion critic?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I just telling you the rules.
Bowen Yang
I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing a shirt of the person to the show. Just like it's nothing wrong with a jersey of the team to the game if you're gonna use the jersey analogy. Okay, well, I'll meet you there. And go. If you're going to Cubs game, you wear a Cubs jersey, right? Because you just said you can't wear a White Sox jersey if you're at Cubs versus Reds. Okay, I'll accept that. But then that's saying you can wear a Cubs jersey to a Cubs game. So you can wear a Blake shirt jersey to a Blake show. By your logic.
Lunchbox
No, totally different.
Matt Rogers
But you can do the Cubs jersey.
Lunchbox
You can wear a Cubs shirt to a Cubs game.
Bowen Yang
Why?
Lunchbox
It's totally different. You're not wearing it to an individual person.
Bowen Yang
What? If you are buying a jersey of a player, you buy it at the Game.
Lunchbox
You shouldn't wear that.
Amy
At least he's consistent in that.
Bowen Yang
There's no consistency is what he's saying. He just said you used jerseys as the analogy. And then I met him.
Lunchbox
No, I said you could wear a shirt, but it's not an individual person.
Matt Rogers
So what if it's a band, though?
Lunchbox
No, kids.
Bowen Yang
Not individual person. Good point.
Lunchbox
Like, it's a band. You can't wear the band shirt. It's the same.
Bowen Yang
But what are the team. The band would be the team.
Lunchbox
You're wrong.
Bowen Yang
Guys, Tesco must be really sore today. Yeah, I mean, you guys must be really sore today, because he is cranky.
Lunchbox
All right, Lunchbox, I want to choose your own adventure.
Bowen Yang
All right, I'm in.
Lunchbox
Would you like Jeffrey Epstein? Something. I mean, maybe you guys knew this, but I just learned about his first arrest and how it happened.
Bowen Yang
The fight. The teenage. The teenager.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I didn't know. You want to know that or more Cardi B. Cardi B's been your beat.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, I kind of like Cardi B.
Bowen Yang
Amy's really into Epstein. I feel like Amy's. Amy's like, the one who's finally come around. I would talk about Epstein for months.
Amy
I've been talking about. What?
Bowen Yang
No, I was talking about it forever, and I'm glad you're in.
Amy
No, no, no, no, no, no. I was. I kind of gave him a.
Bowen Yang
You didn't see Cole play at a small bar? Okay.
Narrator
What?
Matt Rogers
Oh, before they blew up.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, yeah. Now she's like, I saw Cole play with her in a small bar.
Amy
Pull the tape from 2020 when I was watching the Epstein documentaries. No, I would come and talk about.
Bowen Yang
We'Re now fighting over who owns the Epstein. I don't.
Amy
I don't care what it is, but don't just act like I'm just now coming around. It's just like, the files are finally out, so it's more top of mind. Like, everybody's talking about it right now.
Matt Rogers
But Lunchbox gave you the story already. Just Google his first arrest.
Bowen Yang
No, I already.
Unidentified Male Guest
I just.
Bowen Yang
It's finally. Well, it wasn't his first, because I want Cardi B. But what happened was there were two girls that were fighting at a high school. One of the girls had a bunch of money in her purse. Cash. Eventually it got to. How'd you get the money? A lot of the kids at the school, the high school were being by Epstein, and that's how he got arrested the first time, because of a fight between two girls.
Matt Rogers
Dang.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So the One girl had made $300 for going over to his house the day before.
Amy
Massage.
Lunchbox
For a massage. And at school the next day, one of the girls called her a prostitute. So they fought. That's when in the office, they went over the story told the stepmom. Stepmom found the $300 in the purse. And that's how it all unraveled.
Matt Rogers
Like everything unraveled.
Lunchbox
Or the first time.
Bowen Yang
But he went to prison for a while.
Matt Rogers
Okay.
Lunchbox
It was like he was recruiting the high school girls. There was like 15 girls from that high school that had been over to his mansion.
Bowen Yang
Oh, we'd like to hear Cardi B. That's your beat.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So anyway, thank you. So there was a video yesterday of Offset at the casino.
Bowen Yang
Offset is from.
Lunchbox
He is from Cardi B. They used to be married. They have kids.
Matt Rogers
See? From something else.
Amy
Yeah, Offset.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, he is from Cardi B.
Lunchbox
No, no, that's Cardi B's ex.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, but he run something.
Tanya
Oh, I don't know.
Bowen Yang
Okay.
Lunchbox
I don't pay attention. Who? I just know they were together. And what is an actor?
Matt Rogers
Musician.
Lunchbox
Musician, Rapper. And so he went and bet a million dollars on the Seahawks because he doesn't like Stefan Diggs.
Bowen Yang
Wow.
Lunchbox
And he won. So it showed him collecting his money, saying, oh, yeah, how about Cardi B's man now? But of course they broke up. So it's. But pretty funny. So he won a million dollars out of spite.
Bowen Yang
The guy knows his beat. He does. Does anybody know who Offsets from? No. Really?
Matt Rogers
No. Wow.
Bowen Yang
Rap group. Three rappers. One of them's dead, right, Mike?
Lunchbox
One died.
Amy
Migos.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Takeoff died. Right?
Lunchbox
Oh, these are Migos.
Matt Rogers
Are they brothers? Migos?
Bowen Yang
I don't think they're brothers, no. But Quavo, Offset and Take Off. Takeoff's dead.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but pretty cool. He won a million dollars.
Bowen Yang

Ben Higgins
What do you do when the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you? I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me is where culture meets the soul. A place for real conversation. Each episode, I sit down with people from all walks of life. Celebrities, thinkers and everyday folks. And we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff. Identity. When you don't recognize yourself anymore. Loss. That changes you Purpose. When success isn't enough peace when your mind won't slow down, faith when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out.

Matt Rogers

Bowen Yang
And they had to put up fighter jets to scramble.
Matt Rogers
That would be something my kids do.
Amy
Really?
Matt Rogers
Oh, yeah. Like, they just do dumb stuff. And like, why? Why would you think that's okay.
Bowen Yang
That's from upi.
Lunchbox
I mean, as a kid, you probably think that's really hilarious.
Bowen Yang
I don't know right now. If you said, I'm going to give you $100 to change your hotspot name in 30 seconds. Do it. I don't know that I could. I could figure it out.
Matt Rogers
Oh, yeah, yeah. Mine is still like a TW W T. Like whatever it came with. And the password is impossible. I don't even know how to change that.
Bowen Yang
Mm. Let's go to Elizabeth. She's online four in San Antonio. Hey, Elizabeth, you're on the show.
Tanya
Oh, hi.
Elizabeth
Good morning, studio.
Bowen Yang
Morning.
Elizabeth
Hey, Bobby. I'm so glad Abby put me through. I just had some. We're going to have. We have our second baby, and with our first one, he was sleeping, like, you know, three, four hours a night. And then we took this class online and implemented her steps. And by, like, eight weeks. Nine weeks. He was sleeping eight hours a night. Nine hours a night. And then by three months, the baby was sleeping 12 hours straight through the night. And he's a toddler now and still sleeps. Great. And so I wanted to tell you, you do not have to live sleeping three hours a night for, like, two years. There is a way to learn how to get your infant to sleep straight through the night.
Bowen Yang
Slim pills, baby sleeping pills. They make those.
Matt Rogers
Benadryl. Like, what?
Bowen Yang
Oh, whiskey.
Tanya
No, no, no.
Elizabeth
So we took a class online, and I'm not affiliated with her, but it was called Taking care ofbabies.com. and it's like a hundred bucks. It's not that much. And then you watch her like she has multiple little classes. Watch them implement her steps. And your baby will probably sleep for every week, however old they are. They're supposed to sleep about that many hours through the night. And her class taught us how to have a great little sleeper. And I think that you could do it, too, if you did her class online.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, I think she even means for me specifically, not even just with the baby.
Matt Rogers
Oh, really?
Bowen Yang
I think. Right. Are you talking about with the baby or just me in general? Because I don't sleep.
Elizabeth
No, this is baby sleep class. It teaches.
Bowen Yang
I thought she meant for me because I don't sleep. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amy
I've heard of her.
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Amy
Because taking Kara. It's cute because her name is Kara. C A, R, A. So it's like taking care of babies, but she's a pediatric sleep.
Bowen Yang
Sounds like she might be a kidnapper.
Matt Rogers
Taking care.
Amy
No, no, no. Taking care of.
Bowen Yang
Or she takes care of babies. Anybody's got a baby named Kara, but.
Amy
She'S like, she's a neonatal nurse. She's a wife, a pediatrician. She knows what she's talking about.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. All right, I'll check that out. Thank you, Elizabeth. I really appreciate that. How's your day going so far?
Elizabeth
It's good. Our second one was just born 18 days early. So we are right now we're in the throes of the two hours a night. But it's great.
Bowen Yang
It's great having a baby almost three weeks early, huh?
Tanya
Yes.
Elizabeth
Yeah, it was quite a surprise. But he's doing good. He's very small.
Bowen Yang
How'd that surprise hit you? Was it just like, oh, crap, my water broke and I wasn't expecting it, or was it a ramp up to I might be going into labor early because of contractions?
Elizabeth
No, we were having our baby sprinkle, which is like a baby shower. And I woke up that morning and I started having contractions and I thought they were Braxton Hicks. And I had them all day, straight through the party. And that night we were like, well, let's go get checked. And then we went to the hospital and they were like, oh, you're in labor. And then like he came like two hours later. Like, it was really fast and unexpected.
Bowen Yang
And exciting was the labor feels like though that part of it, although unexpected, that was pretty quick.
Elizabeth
For me this time. Yes. Like, the first time was very long. This time it was, well, like it was like contractions all day, but. But then it gets worse and worse as you, like, get closer. And so the at the hospital when it started getting harder, it's painful, but it was fast. It was fast for the second baby.
Bowen Yang
Well, congratulations and I appreciate the call and I hope everything goes wonderful with baby number two.
Elizabeth
Thank you. And I hope it goes well with you guys and I hope you take the class and stay online or on the show sometime. Like, if it's working for you, I hope, I hope it does. It worked for us and it makes us better parents and it makes the baby is happier because the baby gets lots of sleep. And I think it makes your life better when you're getting sleep.
Bowen Yang
Well, Elizabeth, I appreciate that. Have a good day. Thank you.
Elizabeth
Thank you.
Lunchbox
You too.
Elizabeth
Bye, everybody.
Bowen Yang
Bye. I want to go over to Jeff in Tennessee who's on the phone, if we can get him on here.
Tanya
Jeff, hi, good morning.
Bowen Yang
What's up, buddy?
Tanya
Hi. I was hearing you would discuss Halle Berry. Did not know if you knew she won the Oscar and a razzie Award.
Bowen Yang
Same time or different times?
Tanya
Different time. She won the Oscar, I think it was, for Monsters Ball, and the Razzie for Catwoman being the worst actress. So she's collected both awards.
Bowen Yang
Is. I thought Monster's Ball was the blonde South African woman.
Matt Rogers
No, that's called just Monster.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Okay. But what about Charlize Theron? Thank you, Charlize Theron. But what about the Little Creatures? Monsters, Inc. We got too many Monsters.
Matt Rogers
Cartoon.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, we got Monster. We got Monsters, Inc. We got Monsters Ball.
Matt Rogers
Isn't Monsters Ball like a Lady Gaga thing, too?
Bowen Yang
Like a little monster.
Amy
Little Monsters are her people.
Matt Rogers
Little Monsters.
Bowen Yang
And Little Monsters was a movie with Ben Savage. They were underneath the bed.
Matt Rogers
Wow. A lot of monsters.
Bowen Yang
Michael. No. Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice. Who is a little monster? Howie Mandel.
Matt Rogers
Oh, no.
Bowen Yang
Dang. That was. I loved that movie. My, like, aunt had it on videotape. It was, like, one of the only movies in the house. We watch it all the time.
Matt Rogers
Is Ben Savage Ben Savage?
Bowen Yang
Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Wonder Years.
Bowen Yang
No. Oh, that was Fred. It's Fred Savage.
Matt Rogers
Ben is Boy Meets World. That's right.
Bowen Yang
Did Ben ever do any movies? Maybe when he was younger? That cast hates him.
Matt Rogers
Huh?
Bowen Yang
Oh, yeah. He doesn't take part in anything that the Boy Meets World people do. They even have a podcast where they go back over Boy Meets World and they. He never goes on. Like, they don't like him at all.
Matt Rogers
No. Do they say anything about him? Like, why they don't like him?
Lunchbox
They don't even talk. He doesn't communicate with them.
Bowen Yang
Huh.
Matt Rogers
Dang. Maybe hard to work with.
Bowen Yang
Maybe doesn't want anything to do with that show. Maybe it was difficult back then.
Matt Rogers
Wow.
Bowen Yang
Like, if you're the star and you're a kid. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Because that whole show, they were at iheart Festival one year. Right. But they were. Who was there?
Bowen Yang
But it's all. But that show is a podcast and the whole show was there, but he wasn't there because he's not part of the show and he doesn't take part. Anything else. But there is no known conflict. It says.
Matt Rogers
Huh?
Bowen Yang
Yeah. The FBI warns about romance scams spiking up ahead of Valentine's Day. Romance scams are ramping up just in time. FBI field offices are warning of a public type of romance scam known as confidence fraud. It's an online method where fraudsters form friendly romantic relationships to exploit trusting victims. They try to convince victims they have feelings for them and try to exploit money. This is every scam.
Amy
Yeah, well. But people may be Particularly vulnerable leading up to Valentine's Day because they want to feel.
Bowen Yang
Man, I just feel like if you don't have anything and it's getting up to Valentine's Day, be happy because you don't have to do Valentine's Day.
Matt Rogers
Oh, yeah.
Amy
Like, be glad you don't have to worry about it.
Bowen Yang
Holidays are different. I think leading up to the holidays, you're like, man, it'd be nice to have somebody. I feel like if you don't have anybody and Valentine's Day is coming up, you're like, this is awesome.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, you dodged a bullet.
Bowen Yang
That's the one that I would say is a bullet dodger. Holidays I fully get. You want somebody, you want somebody close. Holidays are about being with people you love. And you're like, I'm lonely again. Valentine's Day, you should do a little dance. Like, I don't have to buy a gift for somebody.
Amy
Yeah, you dodged the created holiday just to make you spend money.
Bowen Yang
We have dinner tomorrow night.
Matt Rogers
It's tomorrow night. All right.
Bowen Yang
What do you mean, all right? I forgot you don't keep a calendar at all.
Matt Rogers
I do, but I don't look at it till the day of, like, so I look at today, what's on the calendar for today, and I know. And then tomorrow I'll wake up and be like, all right, what are we doing today?
Bowen Yang
So then who puts the things in your calendar?
Matt Rogers
My wife. All scuba will do my work stuff. And then my wife does, you know, personal stuff.
Bowen Yang
But you still have to add it. So when you get the email, I just hit calla invite.
Matt Rogers
I hit accept. And then my wife does the same with me. She'll send me the invite and be like, I'll be accept.
Bowen Yang
So then your calla's play on Apple.
Matt Rogers
Yeah, it's all icloud. Why? What do you. What do you do?
Bowen Yang
Like, different. I mean, yeah, some of it. I interact.
Matt Rogers
You put stuff into your account?
Bowen Yang
Of course, all the time.
Matt Rogers
I wouldn't even know how to do that. Like, just add it and then you have to do the times.
Bowen Yang
You can also just tell Siri to do it.
Matt Rogers
Oh, I've seen you do that before.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, just like, hey, put this in. Tuesday, 3:00pm, da, da, da. And I have like three different calendars that different people have access to. So I have a purple calendar, which is my complete professional calendar, which I have it. My wife has access to it to see where I am. My management team has it because they're adding stuff to it. They also have access to it. Agent has it. And then I have my green, which is my personal calendar, which nobody has except my wife and I, where if we have plans. But mostly it's I'll just put it into purple. Sometimes I'll put a do not schedule block. That means I'm doing something, but it's like a doctor's appointment or something. I'm not gonna put up their rectal exam for everybody to see.
Matt Rogers
Right, Right.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. So I think I have three calendars, but all inside Apple. Yeah.
Matt Rogers
Just different colors.
Bowen Yang
And then I add probably half the stuff to it. Or I'll get a message. Are you open at this time? Here are three open spots you have in your calendar. Can I have one of these? And I'm like, yeah, sure. Those are fine. That type of thing. A woman is suing after getting trapped by her hair in an Amazon sold massage chair. Why do they have to put Amazon in this? She just got trapped by her hair in a massage chair.
Matt Rogers
Yeah. We don't even know where it came from.
Bowen Yang
A Long island woman sue an Amazon over a massage chair. She says trapped her hair. Damarius Torres claims she was using the chair when the internal mechanism pulled in and caught her hair. Her lawsuit alleges the chair was defectively designed, lacked proper safety guards, and had no emergency shutoff feature. She also claims the manufacturers failed to include adequate warnings from Daily Voice.
Matt Rogers
Oh, so she's suing.
Amy
Yeah. Maybe it's the Amazon Basics, like that brand where they make stuff.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Or maybe you just realize you're in a massage chair and don't put your hair. Like, I do think there's some personal accountability. I don't know this story, obviously, except for what I read, but I do think there's some personal accountability at times.
Amy
Mm. Like put your hair in a ponytail.
Bowen Yang
Yeah. Like don't. Don't dangle your hair into the crack where there's obviously a mechanical. Yeah. Toddler got stuck in a claw machine. Speaking of personal accountability, toddler, you should know better.
Matt Rogers
How many times have we talked about this?
Bowen Yang
Yeah, just basically that police and firefighters were called service technician with a key. Had to get there to free the kid. Photo showed the kid having fun with the balls inside the machine until it was pulled out. WJHL.
Matt Rogers
7 of blasts.
Bowen Yang
Speaking of balls, update on yours. Lunchbox ball.
Lunchbox
Solid today. Doesn't. I mean, no discomfort today. So still big.
Bowen Yang
No discomfort at all?
Lunchbox
Not right now, no. It just comes and goes.
Matt Rogers
But still big.
Lunchbox
No, no. It deflates at night, but it's.
Amy
It's not night.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying, so is it big right now? As the day goes on, it'll get worse because I don't know, movement, sitting around, active, being awake. I, I don't know what it is, but during the day it does inflate.
Amy
I feel like I saw him walk in the bathroom earlier. He's walking a little funny.
Matt Rogers
Like bow legged.
Amy
Just a little. Yeah, like a limp.
Bowen Yang
Do you want me to look at it?
Lunchbox
No, I'm good.
Amy
I can't believe that you're just like not doing anything about it.
Matt Rogers
Somebody did. Tell me.
Lunchbox
Hold on, hold on. Timeout. Time out.
Narrator
I know that you are.
Lunchbox
Let me just call a timeout. Let me call a timeout real quick. Like in Saved by the Bell. What do you mean I'm not doing anything about it? I have been to like six doctors. I do not know what you mean by I am not doing anything.
Amy
You're right.
Matt Rogers
No, he's not right.
Amy
I should have clarified. I meant I can't believe you've given up because the six doctors weren't able to help you.
Lunchbox
Time out. I have never given up.
Matt Rogers
I'm still in time out.
Lunchbox
Dude, when have I ever said I've given up?
Amy
Okay, true.
Bowen Yang
I don't know.
Amy
But you're not doing anything.
Matt Rogers
And every time we ask you something like, I don't know, like, dude, don't you ask like, you should. By this point, he also didn't share.
Bowen Yang
With the doctor everything that's wrong with him.
Matt Rogers
Right.
Lunchbox
And by this point, doctor touched them. Guys, like, the doctor knows what's going on down there. The doctor did an ultrasound.
Amy
You have to advocate for yourself and say all the facts. Speak up. Go back.
Lunchbox
Do you understand that the doctor felt and touched and so knows exactly what is going on down there? They know everything.
Bowen Yang
Yeah, but you didn't tell them everything. Regardless, because you.
Amy
It's like you've told us more than.
Bowen Yang
Us and like, I haven't said that to the doctor yet.
Amy
Right, right.
Bowen Yang
The two people you shouldn't lie to.
Lunchbox
You guys and the doctor.
Bowen Yang
No, the doctor and your lawyer. Your doctor and your lawyer.
Matt Rogers
Oh, I like that. You guys.
Amy
That's kind of cool.
Lunchbox
Well, that's what you're going to say.
Bowen Yang
But you're okay today?
Lunchbox
Yeah, today I'm okay. But as the day goes on, it'll probably flare up.
Bowen Yang
The best pizza in the world for 2026 has been revealed and it's not in Italy. From the Daily Mail. The best pizza in the world is the Casio e Pepe at Mama's 2 in New York. Oh, man, that's tough. You get named this, you know, everybody's gonna go and critique it and be like, this isn't the best in the world. It's good, but it's not the best. It's hard to live up to the best in the world.
Amy
And everybody has such different pizza styles that they prefer.
Matt Rogers
But that's pretty cool to, like, be named that.
Bowen Yang
What do you prefer? Your perfect pizza?
Amy
I like a thin crust. More sauce than cheese. I still want the cheese, but I like when I can taste the flavor of the sauce. I don't. And then, I mean, toppings, I can kind of go all over the place. But right now, what sounds really good to me is maybe a little pepperoni with jalapenos and some hot honey.
Matt Rogers
Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Not a big jalapeno guy. I do like banana peppers. I like jalapenos.
Matt Rogers
Really?
Elizabeth
Yeah.
Amy
I mean, not the super hot ones.
Matt Rogers
But jalapenos aren't super hot.
Bowen Yang
I like super.
Amy
Some are.
Lunchbox
Some are.
Matt Rogers
No, they're not.
Amy
Yes, they are.
Matt Rogers
I've been working on my salsa a little bit, trying to make it more mild because you guys, bro, you gave.
Bowen Yang
Us some hot sauce.
Lunchbox
You burned our mouths off.
Matt Rogers
It's because I was using serrano peppers, and somebody told me, like, try jalapenos. And so I did a whole batch with jalapenos. Like, huge jalapenos. And there was no heat. So I think that's my answer.
Amy
Interesting.
Bowen Yang
I think you're just Mexican numbed.
Amy
Yeah. Because some are.
Bowen Yang
Like, you grew up where those spices were. Probably used a lot more than us.
Matt Rogers
But I didn't eat hot stuff.
Amy
You did fresh jalapenos or pickled.
Bowen Yang
It probably wasn't hot to you, but you probably had spicier food than I did. Being from Arkansas, we had no spice, dude.
Matt Rogers
What's crazy is I never ate when I was a kid. Never ate hot stuff. Like, wouldn't. Not any spice. And I would not eat avocados. And now I love avocados. Like, I think of avocados. Like, I missed out on so many avocados. Guacamole. I'd be like, I don't want that crap.
Bowen Yang
That's what you think about when you think about things you missed growing up.
Matt Rogers
I missed out on avocado.
Bowen Yang
It's like, I didn't party. I didn't have Eddie's. Like, yeah, I missed avocados.
Matt Rogers
Think of all the guacamole I could have eaten. Yeah.
Bowen Yang
Do you want to or just move on? Don't know what guacamole Guacamole.
Lunchbox
Now.
Matt Rogers
What do you mean, guacamole?
Amy
I didn't even catch it.
Matt Rogers
I know, because it's so natural.
Amy
No, whatever. It's like, I saw a funny video pop up after this girl from. She's like a content creator from Canada or something, and her video's gone viral because she's like, after you hear Bad Bunny mention your country at the super bowl, and she's like, I'm from Canada.
Bowen Yang
She's like, that's pretty funny.
Amy
That's funny.
Bowen Yang
That's good.
Amy
It's really funny.
Bowen Yang
That'll do it. Glad everybody's here. Thank you for listening to this show, and we will definitely see you tomorrow. All right, bye, everybody.
