[Morgan]

[Bobby Bones]

Well, here we are. Lunchbox. Do you want me to say it now?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Go for it. No, no, no. Don't, don't, don't, don't. Don't do it now. You already missed your opportunity. You can't come back and do it.

[Bobby Bones]

But technically, it is another opportunity to do It. But again, it still feels too unspecial. Lunchbox is here. The legend from Price is Right. Or as most of you guys know from the Bobby Bone show, lunch. Thanks for being here.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, you're welcome. Thanks for having me. It just feels amazing to be known as the guy from the Price is Right. Like, that is a pretty cool moniker that I've always wanted in my life and now I can put it in my portfolio.

[Bobby Bones]

And now you have it. Forever.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Forever. Forever Ever. Forever Ever. Forever. Ever. Forever. Ever, ever. Never seems so long.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh boy, we have some shout outs to start.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, yeah. Shout out. Shout out.

[Bobby Bones]

Drew in Massachusetts said, I knew it made my morning so happy for you lunch. I love you both.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Appreciate it. Drew.

[Bobby Bones]

We've got Tracy in Washington. Love lb and so happy he crushed the Price is Right secret best bit. We've got Brandy in Tennessee. So proud of you. We've got Sarah, who said Lunchbox is literally the best. Congratulations on Price is Right.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

It must have been my sister.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

That one.

[Bobby Bones]

Is your sister's name Sarah?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Ye.

[Bobby Bones]

Jen in Tennessee. I Legit teared up watching him on the show and smiled like it was my own friend who made it on. So big shout outs there.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah. And I did see one comment, I don't even know where it was. And some guy named Mark Nelson commented I was his 8th grade math teacher. But that's all he commented. Like, nothing good or bad, just I was his 8th grade math teacher.

[Bobby Bones]

Isn't it funny when that happens?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah. And I was like, oh, that's interesting. But I mean, I did have a Mr. Nelson as an 8th grade math teacher, so it must be him.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe that's just all he wanted to say.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

That's all he wanted to say? I guess. I have no idea. I don't know if he's still teaching or what, but yeah. Okay, so we shout out Mr. Nelson.

[Bobby Bones]

Shout out 8th grade teacher.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

He was in the portables at Murkison. Like if you walk out the doors, you go, the second portable. He's right there. And if you sat on the porch of his, which I did a lot because I got in trouble. You could see Mr. Brown's portable over there, Diagonal.

[Bobby Bones]

Your schools were portable?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

We had some portables.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, wow.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

You didn't have portables?

[Bobby Bones]

No, ours was all in a building. Just one giant building.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, man, we had so many kids. They put portables out there. Heck yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Is that what you call them? Portables?

[Bobby Bones]

No, because we didn't have them. Oh, I just was going off of what you Just said.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, they're called portable. That's what I call them.

[Morgan]

They're the.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

There are two classrooms in one little building outside. And they have it. They're connected by the little walkway by the bathrooms.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that why you call them portables? Because, like, it's by a portable bathroom or something?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

No, it's just what they were called. All right. Oh, this class is out in the portables.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah. But. Yeah. Mr. Nelson. What up? I never knew his name was Mark.

[Bobby Bones]

We did talk a whole. The entire Part 1 is all about Price is right. His entire experience. I had a whole lot of questions for him, so do check that out. We have a few more listener ones here.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, yeah, let's bring them on, man. Because that's what we're here to do.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we're gonna do it for the first half, and second half, we'll get into some more normal ones because we did spend the whole Part 1. Who cares about normal? What did the green ribbon on the tuck stand for? On prices. Right. Vanessa and Austin.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, Vanessa and Austin. Well, I've seen a lot of theories online. Some people thought it was for the camp that got flooded. Some people thought it was for this mental health awareness, but I'm pretty sure it was for kidney awareness.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, you're pretty sure? So somebody put it on you?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Who put it on you?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

I think Lisa was her name. There was two ladies in pink. I can show you their pictures, and maybe they have it on their shirts, but they are the ones that put it on me. Oh, would you mind wearing a ribbon for kidney disease awareness, I think. And I said, oh, I wouldn't mind at all. I would love to do that. And I put it on and I forgot all about it till the show aired. And I'm like, oh, I did have a ribbon on my shirt. I forgot all about that.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

You didn't take it off?

[Bobby Bones]

Was it lime green? Dark green?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Let me. Hold on. We're almost there because I pulled up

[Bobby Bones]

all the different greens.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Let me show you. Here it is. Let me show you. Where's her picture? Here she is. Oh, I can't see.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Oh, boy. I'm gonna be here for a minute.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

I can't tell you what her shirt says.

[Bobby Bones]

It does say mental health is one, environmental causes is another. But then there's also organ donation, Kidney disease awareness.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, kidney. Cause it's dialysis queen is her shirt.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So it must be organ donation representing living organ donation and kidney disease.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, kidney disease. That's what I said.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

So There you go. So, yes, that was.

[Bobby Bones]

I love that you forgot you had it on.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, I forgot I had it on till the show aired. And I'm like, oh, I do have a green ribbon on my shirt.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you plan on handling your new celebrity status, Matt from New Hampshire?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

You know, it's going to be tough. It's. It's been hard to go out in public. Everybody, you know, hounding me and talking to me even more than usual. So we'll probably keep a low profile, stay in the house a little bit more.

[Bobby Bones]

On the real, though, What? Has anything really changed?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

No, not really. No. No.

[Bobby Bones]

Just taking sure because you did go a little bit viral.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

More than a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Last I checked, it was 1 million. Is it over that now?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

It was like one.

[Bobby Bones]

That's just ours. I haven't checked any other one.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

So it was like 1.4 million.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so you did go viral.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You had a moment. So it's possible sometimes people from viral can recognize. So but on the real.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, nothing really has changed yet. Nothing really has changed yet.

[Bobby Bones]

And you're just gonna plan to handle it like normal?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, I'm just gonna, you know, sign autographs, bless babies. Just what I do.

[Bobby Bones]

Why don't you use your real name on the big show? Do people all know you by your real name at the studio? Halle in Kansas?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

No, no one at the studio knows me by my real name. They never call me my real name. Never will, never have. That's just the way it is. Even the sales people don't know my real name a lot of the time. So that's how it is. They'll have to email me. Hey, how do we get you paid? What's your real name?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, it was funny to see, I think, equal parts reaction to your name.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, that was a little weird.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what I mean? Like, I was like, I didn't know that was his name and holy crap, now we know. Like, I feel like that was a huge part of a lot of the engagement that was happening. Also the fact that they were excited. You had like half excited, half freaking out and then half that were, like

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

so freaked out by your name.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, yeah. And some of the comments, let me tell you, like, some of the comments were so dang funny. Like what? The one comment that made me laugh out loud, some guy, I mean, it was obviously a Price is Right fan.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Said that dude would make a volume nervous. I thought that was so funny.

[Bobby Bones]

That is funny.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Like, that is hilarious.

[Bobby Bones]

I love your ability to laugh at all of the comments, like, hilarious. I love it. And you responded to some of them funny. I love a snarky, funny comment back. Like it's entertaining to me.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, like what? I mean, one, some of the comments like, I'm so glad that idiot lost. I mean, I was cheering for him to lose. And I wrote. You misspelled heartbroken.

[Bobby Bones]

You take it all in stride.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

It's so funny.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a crap about you.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah. And I'm gonna tell you one comment I want. I wanted to respond, but I didn't. Someone commented, I don't even know who this dude is. He goes, I used to play soccer against him in Austin. He wasn't very good. What. What does that have to do is prices right?

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

I was the one that offended you.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

But. But what a weird comment on the Price is Right. You know what I mean? Like that was no, nothing to do with anything. And I was just like, what a random. And I looked at him, I was like, I don't know who you are. I was to suck too. But whatever, that's fine. I'm still.

[Bobby Bones]

I love that.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

That one though is the one that riled you up just a little bit.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

And I'm like, obviously I've been living rent free in his head for how many years? I mean, I haven't lived in Austin 13 years, so he still remembers me. Whooping is all over the field. I guess

[Bobby Bones]

was okay. I didn't put two and two together on this. Was he on both the Price is Right and Springer with a girl named Tamika. Amy from Illinois.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Amy from Illinois. Put some respect on her name. Springer. Her name was K. Mika with a K. And Tamika was the girl on Price is Right. It is kind of crazy that they had such similar names.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the Mika part is pretty unusual

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

that they don't even know each other. And we were side by side in both episodes. That's crazy. And I never even noticed it until people pointed it out once it aired.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there was a few people that questioned that. And I was like, I don't know that I even listened to the names because to your point, it was very loud.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

Even with the audio of them being over and calling things. It was so loud.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah. Now that was definitely Kamika on Springer. Still talk to her to this day. Texted her to watch the episode. She did not respond, so I don't think she watched.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you still talk to her regularly or was that a random text?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, no. Kamika is still BFF with my sister. They live right by each Other. They're still tight, still hang out, still grab dinner. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So such an interesting.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Like, we went to. We went to a wedding. My cousin Jessica was getting married back in Austin, and we. It was a no kid wedding, and so all my family was going to be at the wedding, so we didn't have anybody to watch our kids. They stayed. They went to Kamika's.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought you almost said Tamika there for a second.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

No, Kamika. Now. Kamika watched him for us, and then we went and picked him up when the wedding was over and. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Shout out, Kamika and Tamika.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, Kamika Woods.

[Bobby Bones]

We're gonna take a break. That is all for our prices.

[Economic Expert]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Again, if you want to go check out part one, we talked.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, that's it. We're done with prices. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. We had some other questions.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

You don't have any. Drew Carey. Drew Carey didn't ask a question.

[Bobby Bones]

Drew Carey did not ask.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, dang.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think he follows me on Instagram.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

I got a question. Do you think if we. If you talked to Drew Carey, if he ran into him, said, hey, do you think he remembers me from six months ago or has he flushed that out of his mind?

[Bobby Bones]

I think it depends how many he does a day and how many.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

I mean, they do three a day.

[Bobby Bones]

Hmm. I bet he would remember you in some form or fashion.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you had such unusual energy and you gave him such a belly laugh. I think you don't forget that easily, but maybe a year from now, it just gets blurred.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

How many he does.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

All right, that's valid. That's a valid man. I'm not going to argue. Or. Either way, I just.

[Bobby Bones]

I do think he. I think that moment, especially if, like, you even briefly recall that. I think he remembers that.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, like, that was such a genuine belly laugh. And if you think about, like, all the times that you're like, oh, yeah, I really belly laughed at. It's just sometimes it gets a little fuzzy.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Especially if you do that a lot.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, he does it a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think he will. It's just like, kind of in there.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Got it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I have no idea. I. I just. I wondered if I ran into him six months from now, could I be like, drew, remember me? And he'd be like, no,

[Bobby Bones]

I think he would on some way also, depending on your look. Because sometimes you have your beard.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you have your beard, no way. You're kind of a different person when you have your beard. But if you look like you looked that day. Yes. Also, you don't wear a tux.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

So, like, you're kind of incognito. I think it would also depend on

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

how you show up to him.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Okay. What if I came bouncing up to him like I did on the show?

[Bobby Bones]

Then he might remember you. Like, I think it's all about who you were in that moment to him.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But if you showed up to him right now, chilled out, energy. You're in your hoodie, you have a little bit of a beard.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

He's probably like, I have no idea who you are.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Okay, touche, Touche. Valid, valid energy.

[Bobby Bones]

100 remembers.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Got it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, we're gonna take a break. We'll be right back.

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really started making money.

[Eating While Broke Guest]

It's Financial literacy month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building, building your future. This month hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist lakeisha Landrum Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.

[Eating While Broke Host]

If I'm outside with my parents and they see all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what today? Now, Obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you gotta go get a real job.

[Economic Expert]

There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

[Bobby Bones]

What is your most cherished childhood memory? I said that weird Carrie in Missouri. Your most cherished childhood memory.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, cherished childhood memory. I mean, how do you have one cherished childhood memory?

[Bobby Bones]

I have there one that just like pops in your mind as soon as it's said.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

I mean, I have so many. I mean I have. And it's all different. Like, I mean with my boys and throwing things at cars, toilet papering houses. Those are such great memories. Like, we had so much freaking fun in our neighborhood. And then I have family memories driving to grandma and grandpa's and you know, when they lived, my dad's parents when they lived in Topeka and we would drive up their gravel driveway and just the noise of hitting the driveway or driving to Chicago to see my mom's parents and they had a little gravel right in front of their garage and it was just like a little bit. You pull off the street and you. The crunch was the sound of us getting there, which is something I will never forget. So there are so many. There's driving to Chicago to see grandma and grandpa and my mom thinking I'm going to do something fun and I'm going to read a book to my kids. And she read where the Red Fern Grows. And I mean, spoiler alert, spoiler alert. We are pulling in to grandma and grandpa's as you know. The end. Dan and Ann, they pass and we are all in tears. I'll never forget that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a terrible.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Definitely need to forget.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

It is hardcore memory. I remember being like, we drove a van, my dad's parents van up to Chicago, had a trailer to the back because we're going to bring some furniture back. I don't know what we were doing. And my sister had just turned 16 and they let her drive some. And I was asleep in the back of the van. And I remember her. I'm lost. I don't know what to do. How do I turn it around? And we were stuck trying to turn around when I woke up and it was nighttime and. And I do remember that. I don't know where we were, but I know we were on the way home. I remember that. You know, memory, there's a lot. I can't just pick one cherished memory. I remember there was a green 3000 GT car that lived in our neighborhood. Husband and wife, they had matching ones. And I mean, we would just fake like we were throwing something at that car and that dude would hit that in reverse and chase us and running through the woods. I mean, it was unbelievable how mad he got. And we didn't even throw anything. We would just fake throw it. Like I fake throw, fake throw. When a car would be coming, we'd yell, fake throw, fake throw. And we didn't have anything.

[Bobby Bones]

How you didn't end up in jail until the show does shock me a little bit.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Yeah, I mean, I remember getting busted by the cops when I was 10 years old and being on my knees in the side yard and them yelling at us and yelling at Jackson because he. Who's the oldest one here. What is your problem? You think you're setting a good influence for these kids, Bob? Just yelling at them and I think he may have pooped his pants.

[Bobby Bones]

How old was Jackson?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Like 12 or 13.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Not much older than you.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

No. And I remember being on the fence and about to climb. Don't you climb over that damn fence. All right, all right. Get down. Like they had their flashlights on. I mean, so, yeah, I don't have one, like, core childhood memory. I remember, I mean, time at the ballpark. Time at the ballpark.

[Bobby Bones]

All the memories go on here forever.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Around running around the ballpark and being there every night with your friends and just playing buns up and, you know, playing paper cup baseball and racing around the bases after games and one person goes towards third, the other person goes first. You almost run into each other at second base and I mean, it was amazing. So I don't have one riding our bike to the store under Sonic and getting, you know, 32 ounce shakes, which we would not be able to drink. And I remember one time I went with Josh Thickpen and we rode all the way to Sonic, got all the way back, and we're turning onto my street and Josh hits the curb and drops his shake and explodes right there in the street. I'll never forget it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, those are all really good.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

And I feel like if I don't stop you right now, you're going to keep going.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

I mean, I have so many. I can't.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, I know. But this is not just a chap

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

and memory podcast, so we have to keep.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Well, she asked me for one.

[Bobby Bones]

I know your most.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

And then you went on like, 10 different ones.

[Bobby Bones]

Are your. Any of your kids following in your soccer footsteps? James and Virginia.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

James in Virginia. All three of them following my soccer footsteps. They all love the game of soccer. They play it so much more than I did at their age. They play it all the freaking time. They play it in the house. They play it in the front yard. They play it in the backyard. They play every day at recess at school because the first graders and kindergartners go out at the same time. So my two older boys always play soccer at recess every single day. They love soccer.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you tried to tell them there are other things that they can also play?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

They play baseball. They play basketball. They do it.

[Bobby Bones]

All of them.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

They love sports. They are sports addicted.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you are their father, so.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

That tracks.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

What is the next TV show you want to be on? Susie from South Carolina. I think we kind of determined this.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Survivor. Yeah, I need to be on it, but I got. I mean, here's. I got to get in shape to get on Survivor. I got to get in shape. My muscle, my. My. My stomach issue. I haven't been able to run in almost a year, and so I am out of shape. As you can see, my heavy breathing on Price is Right. My cardio is not where it needs to be, and I'm still going to physical therapy trying to get this right, so. But if Survivor called today, I would have to tough it out.

[Bobby Bones]

I was gonna say you are into momentum right now, so you might have to figure that out.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, no, I'd just go. I would. I mean, I'd say screw it. I'd just be in pain. Whatever. Let's go.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Just make it as far as you can make it.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

You mean to the final Tribal Council where I get to lobby the jury? Why I deserve a million dollars? Absolutely. That's what you mean by make it as far as you could. My torch would never be snuffed.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you do that.

[Liberty Mutual Jingle]

Jeff Probst, give me a call.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Jeff Probst, give me a call on the celly.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, dad, did you hear that call? Jeff Probst.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Your dad knows him from high school. They haven't spoken really, since high school,

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

so that's about it.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Do you know how amazing that'd be if your dad put in a call to Jeff Probst for me?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, if they have a high school

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

reunion, anyt, Jeff wouldn't go well.

[Bobby Bones]

What was I going to say? I think you would make it to the end of Survivor in your best condition.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

But right now, hey, the best condition, people don't make it. It doesn't matter. Like, really, physical ability is not. Is just a part of it. It's all about the social game and being able to make connections and alliances and all that good stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

But I don't know. I mean, I. Listen, everybody thinks they're going to make it to the end. Everybody goes on that show thinking they are so good and they're going to make it.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody thought that about prices, right, though, and you did it.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

That's very true. I did do it. I made it all the way to the end.

[Bobby Bones]

Just saying. Okay, last question. What is your favorite golf course to play in Austin? Any part of Austin? J. Michael.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, J. Michael. See, here's the thing. I was not a very. I'm not very good at golf and I can't play at the expensive courses. So I would say my. I mean, Blue Bonnet is no longer there. Lions Municipal. I've not played in forever. I would love to play it again just because when I was younger, I thought it was the most impossible course. I thought it was so freaking hard. And now I kind of know how to hit a golf ball. Not great, but I kind of know how. So I wonder if it's really that hard or was it just that I sucked so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

How old were you when you played it?

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, 25, 28, 29.

[Bobby Bones]

So different. Different stage of life, stage of golf.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

But I just wasn't very good. But now I can at least hit the ball sometimes.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

And so I wonder if it's really that hard. What else is good? Where else did we play? Oh, Kaiser. I love Kaiser. Kaiser was good. And then the one in south of Town. What the heck was it called? Doodling. Not Blue Bonnet do. Yeah, I'm trying to think of what.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Onion Creek. Barton Creek.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, I never played Barton Creek. I ain't that. I ain't rich.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Riverside.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

No, Riverside's rough. I mean, Riverside's fun. Jimmy Clay's okay.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Falcon Head.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

I played that. Falcon Head's good.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

Okay. Gray Rock.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Gray Rock is good. I played that.

[Bobby Bones]

But these are another ones you're thinking of.

[Co-host or guest (possibly female, friend or family of Lunchbox)]

No, Plum Creek.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Plum Creek's a good one. That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

I just wanted you to respond.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

That was the one.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the one.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Plum Creek long period was one of them. Yeah. I mean, I don't have a favorite. I mean, like I said, I just like, whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. All right, well, now we're going to get out of here.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, that's it. That's all the questions? There weren't very many questions this week.

[Bobby Bones]

No, there was eight. I have to do eight. You like to talk for a while, so I got to spread you out.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, how many we do? We only did, like, three.

[Bobby Bones]

We did eight.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

We did.

[Liberty Mutual Ad Voice 2]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Eight questions. And there was five shout outs.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

[Bobby Bones]

Depends. You? Definitely. I mean, I feel like it was a highly watched one.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Matt)]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

I would say yes.
