Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for the good news with Bobby.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
These are always fun to see on Instagram or TikTok
where the hockey team will go out and they do
this big event and people throw out like a bunch
of teddy bears at a certain point. So the Hershey
Bears minor league hockey team in Hershey, Pennsylvania, held its
annual Teddy Bear Toss. They collected eighty one thousand teddy bears.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Wow, that's a lie.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That's crazy because there aren't that many seats there.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, so when they scored their first goal, everybody who
brought all the teddy bears throw them onto the ice,
and so they scored their first goal three minutes into
the game. The plush toys were gathered from the ice
and donated to children in need across central Pennsylvania, including
students at Milton Hershey School. And since the event began
in two thousand and one, they have collected almost seven
(00:51):
hundred thousand stuffed animals. Wow, it's crazy. They got eighty
one thousand from that night because I'm thinking there's probably
nine ten thousand seats.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
So they have to bring a bag in full of animals.
Or are they already setting at your seat like the
hockey team bottom.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Now, what's really cool is to see the way they
pick them all up because the game still has to
keep going.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Bulldoz. Yeah, what do they use scoop them up?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
They have people right there, twenty people. Yeah, and they
just start grabbing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Good News network with that story. Another thing they do
that is not as good of news. It's not good
or bad. But they are basketball teams in high school basketball.
There's a couple of them. It's their like silent game,
and everybody is silent until they score their first bucket,
like nobody makes a sound in the gym. And as
soon as they score their first bucket, they go crazy
and everybody storms the court.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's the first first goal of the game.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
That's cool. It's really weird, but it's.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Really cool to see those whenever they do those.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Those now what I can see how that would be fun,
but then also disruptive because then they know it's the
first point.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah for sure, and then you have to
get everybody back to reclean the court.
Speaker 6 (01:55):
At the end of the game. Okay, that's it's over.
But first score.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
But when they start the game, nobody makes a sound,
and then as soon as they make the first bucket, everybody.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh, yeah, that's gonna be so much fun. It's super cool. Ay,
there you go. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
That was telling me something good. It's time for the
good news. Munch Box.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
MO lives in South Bend, Indiana, and he drives an old,
beat up truck falling apart, but he's always seen around
town driving to his appointments, and it barely runs. And
one guy, Sawid, who owns a body shops, like, guys,
we gotta do something. He sets up a gofund me says,
we gotta get Mo a new truck. Over five hundred
(02:38):
people donated and made a twenty two thousand dollars worth
of donations. And guess what Mo got.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I'm gonna guess a new truck.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I think so right now.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Probably MO got himself a new truck, a twenty nineteen
Chevy Silverado. That's the exact same truck he was driving,
but this one was in better shape, better condition. And
the body shop and a local mechanics. Hey, from now on,
you need maintenance, come see us, we'll take care of it.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Mo.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's pretty good. People noticed and they gave their money.
That's great.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Good story. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
That was telling me something good. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
What do you think about this? At a high school
in Washington State, students can now earn varsity letters for
their jackets for welding, manufacturing, and other hands on career programs.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's amazing.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
The idea came from two students who wanted skill trade
to receive the same recognition as sports and clubs.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I don't hate it, King five with that story. So
what do they call that?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Like I lettered in that you get a letterman jacket.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Wait, you don't like that one once?
Speaker 6 (03:50):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I mean, first of all, clubs shouldn't get letters either way,
that's not that's not it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I can agree with that club shouldn't get letters, right.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
That's just stupid. That's ridiculous. Like, so I understand you're
doing something welding. How about you just get the satisfaction
that you learned how to weld. You shouldn't get a
letter for it. Unless you're going to varsity competitions where
you have weld offs and you win and you can
win a state title.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
You have trophies.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I don't understand what's what's so important about a letter
and nothing like it just goes in your jacket, right, yeah,
a letterman jacket.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, you know, I'm gonna tell you what. Like there
used to be kids that walked around our high school
with choir letter and it's like that is not a letter.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
You know you.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
About him? That's a joke.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I would say.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Letter feels to me like it is an athletic thing.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Yes, a marching band is.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
You would see, hey, you would see like a tuba
on someone's pat I don't mind the band getting letter.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Someone would have a trombone on their sleeve.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's my marching band. I don't mind that. But my
association with letters is you performed, achieved some sort of
athletic accomplishment. That's what a letter is. I don't think
you can create a different thing. I don't even care,
Like I don't even care. What don't I care? I'm
not upset.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I just wonder how do you get think about it?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
That doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You don't like it, No, it can't happen. Do you
think it's a bit of a participation trophy? Yes type thing?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Yes, it's so, I mean, it's just like everybody gets one.
Oh I went to high school. Give me a letter.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But you don't have a certificate a welding, and they
don't if you weld it anything. I'm saying, you can
get to Yeah, it's just not a letter. Yeah, and
you can also buy your own jacket and not have
to worry about what anybody else says.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You can just get a whole freaking torch on it. Oh,
you can put whatever you want on it and go
to the store and buy a jackets. Cool.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, I didn't have a jacket or anything on it.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
So where my jacket is?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Come? And yes I do.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You wore it like I feel like I've seen it.
I have it.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
A letter just means you. It doesn't mean you were
all state or anything, but you played a certain amount.
Like to a letter, you had to actually get on
the field a certain amount. So, but it's so dumb
it doesn't matter. But I have a baseball football.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I mean I just had a jacket.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
With just like the school letter on it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You didn't letter what, you just bought a jackets.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Hey, Amy, I didn't even buy a jacket.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Well, I was a cheerleader. I feel like we all
had the jacket.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Every school probably had different rules.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So gold be an athlete g bought the jacket A
on it, but on the A you would get like
a stripe or whatever that was the lettering.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
That's okay, Yeah, I don't remember. Probably mine was just
maroon and the A was for.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So the bat the patches on the arm didn't mean anything.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Some day.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You could also get patches with lots of Patrick's pat
Patrick patches for us was like in baseball, Like I
was Defensive Player of the Year for the whole conference,
so I got a patch for that. I was like
all readion baseball. I got all the awards, but I
got the patches for that. But that wasn't lettering.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
That was like National Honor Society or not.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Not a letter you could get that. You can get
any jacket you want. You literally can buy any jacket
and have anything put on it.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But if my kid kid to me and said, hey, Dad,
I'm gonna get a letter for what do you call it?
National Merit Society, I'd be like doing.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That, but just don't say that I'm getting a jacket
that celebrates what I think.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
That's great, right, isn't it doesn't matter? It does?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Why does it matter to you so much?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Because we don't want to ruin the tradition and the
legacy of these kids, like just giving everyone.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
A legacy, Like you know what it matters to because
because he peaked at high school prom king, dude, that
was the peak of his life.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
But that king wasn't on his jacket some sort of
soccer thing on your.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Jo cross country track.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I mean, I think it has possibly a point. If
you peaked in high school, that is that's so precious
to you.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Everything happens in high school?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Is that a lunch ones?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
No, it's just the hard work you put in. We
can't just be giving it to everyone, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
When do you think you peaked me?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah, I have no idea. I don't know if I
peaked yet. I mean, I don't understand when did any peak?
Did you ever have a peak?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah, I'd say I peaked probably like.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Gosh, that's tough.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I mean peak like where I felt the best about myself?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
What that be my peak?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
And you accomplished when you accomplish something man, when y'all
open for Garth Brooks.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Okay, when we opened up for Garth Brooks's good because
we'd already won like awards and stuff at that point.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'd say, that's pretty good. What year was that.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
One? I don't know?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Okay, oh yeah, post COVID recent I peaked twenty twenty one.
Why'd you go?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Eh?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I mean that's really Bobby's thing.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
No, we did it together. We did We did all
of it to you.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I mean the real person they wanted was Bobby. Even
play the guitar maybe, but we did it all together.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I would say, that's not your peak.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
What was my peak?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't know, but I don't think that's your peak.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That was that pinnacle.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's definitely an amazing moment. But I would assume you
to go something like your peak, like when you like family.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Yeah, that's not what we're talking about anything.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
There's no rules on peaking.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
If you're talking about Lunchbucks peaking in high school, I
think we're talking about like Uncle Rico moments like twenty
years from now, Eddie's going to be telling that story about.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Opening in Arkansas.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
It's like Lunchbrucks is like one time I ran three miles.
You know, what are your sports stories?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, we really don't have any from him doing from.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
But he said on his letter he had it for
cross country and soccer.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You're right, he doesn't have a lot of sports stories
for I mean district champ.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I mean, what do you want your team life? For soccer,
for cross country, for track? I mean, what do you
want your goals?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Did you score?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Like?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Did you score the game winning goal? Like to take
you guys to state?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
I know I didn't do that. No, we made it
to the regional finals.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
We didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
We lost to Belton in the state before we got
up stated.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
When did you peak?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Lunchbox?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Ooh, I don't know, man, Like I had different seasons
of peaking, like with chicks, it was probably twenty seven
to twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
But what to you of all the seasons of peaking
is the most peaked season?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Waits?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
What's twenty seven to twenty at the number of what's no?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
That that's when I, oh, the age got yeah, because
I mean sixth Street I slayed and that was just
so that was so good, so good. But high school, man,
I was I was the king too, I mean, and
we all know it because I got the crown. So
maybe it was high school, but I don't know. I
mean I ran Sixth Street for years?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Man, which is more important to you? You peak when
you crushed it in high school? I wass I peaked
when you crushed in high school? You crush it on
six Street?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Oh, probably high school because you know sixth Street. Only
a certain people in that bar. No, and then you
go to the next bar and it's like, oh, then
you got to peak. You gotta take over the room
again and they go home. You gotta repeak.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Sounds exhausting.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Maybe one way to think about it is if you
only got to go back and relive one of those
versions of you, Which one are you choosing to go
back and relive?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Or possibly would you save it because you have something
more amazing coming?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
That means you haven't peaked yet.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
No, because I don't know what the future holds.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Man, So you don't have faith that something bigger is
going to happen, right, got it?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
So it's it's over then, so you have peak and
you would go back to which one?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Probably high school.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Because there he peaked in high school, cause then after.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
High school there's a lot left you can even go
if you want to hold it for forward, or you
can go back to one moment.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
What is it now, I'm going to go to Garth,
open up for Garth. I mean that was that was
pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That's a good call to Amy, Amy.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
What about you?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Man? I want to save mine. Let's see what's ahead.
Maybe I'm going to be you know, what do they
call it? Like third chapter?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
What about Like when you made your movie that was
pretty peak.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
That's not her peak.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
I mean when you won that award in a bathroom.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You won that award and a few lines in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
That's terrible.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
That's good, that's really good scripted. My my scene was
in the bathroom and I said a few things. I
didn't do a few lines in the bathroom. That does
sound bad.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Miley got it?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Yeah, Yeah, what about you?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I'd hold off.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah, dude, you've got You've got lots of things.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, but I would hold off. I don't think I've
hit my highest point yet.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Wow. No, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yeah, you're right, maybe I should wait.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
No, we can't know you're high school?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
No, no, like what if someone sees me in the crowd,
But but if it never happens.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
You never get to go back to it, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
What I'm saying, Because like we got two episodes of
Prices right that someone like you know, you're just gonna
see you in a crowd.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I know, and what are they gonna do with you?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Hear all these stories about oh they got like uh
Pam Anderson.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yetriguez from the Sandlot, you know how he was discovered.
He was waiting in line for a ride at the
school carnival and they said, you know what, why do
you to be an actor?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Dude in your forty year?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And so what if? I know, but people get late starts.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
They do need older actors for movies.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
He can't act right, You're.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Right, yeah, to be or not to be? That's the question.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I was waiting for the dramatic cause Eddie, all right,
thank you? No letterman jackets. According to the lunchbox for welders,
that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That was telling me something good.
It's time for the good news with Bobby.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
These are always fun to see on Instagram or TikTok

in two thousand and one, they have collected almost seven
(00:51):
hundred thousand stuffed animals. Wow, it's crazy. They got eighty
one thousand from that night because I'm thinking there's probably
nine ten thousand seats.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
So they have to bring a bag in full of animals.
Or are they already setting at your seat like the
hockey team bottom.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Now, what's really cool is to see the way they
pick them all up because the game still has to
keep going.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Bulldoz. Yeah, what do they use scoop them up?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
They have people right there, twenty people. Yeah, and they
just start grabbing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Good News network with that story. Another thing they do

That's cool. It's really weird, but it's.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Really cool to see those whenever they do those.
Speaker 6 (01:44):

At the end of the game. Okay, that's it's over.
But first score.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
But when they start the game, nobody makes a sound,
and then as soon as they make the first bucket, everybody.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh, yeah, that's gonna be so much fun. It's super cool. Ay,
there you go. That's what it's all about.

(02:38):
people donated and made a twenty two thousand dollars worth
of donations. And guess what Mo got.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I'm gonna guess a new truck.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I think so right now.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Probably MO got himself a new truck, a twenty nineteen
Chevy Silverado. That's the exact same truck he was driving,
but this one was in better shape, better condition. And
the body shop and a local mechanics. Hey, from now on,
you need maintenance, come see us, we'll take care of it.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Mo.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's pretty good. People noticed and they gave their money.
That's great.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Good story. That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
That was telling me something good. It's time for the
good news.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
What do you think about this? At a high school
in Washington State, students can now earn varsity letters for
their jackets for welding, manufacturing, and other hands on career programs.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's amazing.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
The idea came from two students who wanted skill trade
to receive the same recognition as sports and clubs.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I don't hate it, King five with that story. So
what do they call that?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Like I lettered in that you get a letterman jacket.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Wait, you don't like that one once?
Speaker 6 (03:50):
No?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I mean, first of all, clubs shouldn't get letters either way,
that's not that's not it.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I can agree with that club shouldn't get letters, right.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
That's just stupid. That's ridiculous. Like, so I understand you're
doing something welding. How about you just get the satisfaction
that you learned how to weld. You shouldn't get a
letter for it. Unless you're going to varsity competitions where
you have weld offs and you win and you can
win a state title.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
You have trophies.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I don't understand what's what's so important about a letter
and nothing like it just goes in your jacket, right, yeah,
a letterman jacket.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, you know, I'm gonna tell you what. Like there
used to be kids that walked around our high school
with choir letter and it's like that is not a letter.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
You know you.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
About him? That's a joke.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I would say.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Letter feels to me like it is an athletic thing.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Yes, a marching band is.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
You would see, hey, you would see like a tuba
on someone's pat I don't mind the band getting letter.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Someone would have a trombone on their sleeve.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's my marching band. I don't mind that. But my
association with letters is you performed, achieved some sort of
athletic accomplishment. That's what a letter is. I don't think
you can create a different thing. I don't even care,
Like I don't even care. What don't I care? I'm
not upset.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I just wonder how do you get think about it?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
That doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You don't like it, No, it can't happen. Do you
think it's a bit of a participation trophy? Yes type thing?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Yes, it's so, I mean, it's just like everybody gets one.
Oh I went to high school. Give me a letter.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But you don't have a certificate a welding, and they
don't if you weld it anything. I'm saying, you can
get to Yeah, it's just not a letter. Yeah, and
you can also buy your own jacket and not have
to worry about what anybody else says.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
You can just get a whole freaking torch on it. Oh,
you can put whatever you want on it and go
to the store and buy a jackets. Cool.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, I didn't have a jacket or anything on it.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
So where my jacket is?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Come? And yes I do.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You wore it like I feel like I've seen it.
I have it.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
A letter just means you. It doesn't mean you were
all state or anything, but you played a certain amount.
Like to a letter, you had to actually get on
the field a certain amount. So, but it's so dumb
it doesn't matter. But I have a baseball football.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
I mean I just had a jacket.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
With just like the school letter on it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You didn't letter what, you just bought a jackets.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Hey, Amy, I didn't even buy a jacket.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
Well, I was a cheerleader. I feel like we all
had the jacket.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Every school probably had different rules.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So gold be an athlete g bought the jacket A
on it, but on the A you would get like
a stripe or whatever that was the lettering.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
That's okay, Yeah, I don't remember. Probably mine was just
maroon and the A was for.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So the bat the patches on the arm didn't mean anything.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Some day.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You could also get patches with lots of Patrick's pat
Patrick patches for us was like in baseball, Like I
was Defensive Player of the Year for the whole conference,
so I got a patch for that. I was like
all readion baseball. I got all the awards, but I
got the patches for that. But that wasn't lettering.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
That was like National Honor Society or not.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Not a letter you could get that. You can get
any jacket you want. You literally can buy any jacket
and have anything put on it.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But if my kid kid to me and said, hey, Dad,
I'm gonna get a letter for what do you call it?
National Merit Society, I'd be like doing.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
That, but just don't say that I'm getting a jacket
that celebrates what I think.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
That's great, right, isn't it doesn't matter? It does?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Why does it matter to you so much?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Because we don't want to ruin the tradition and the
legacy of these kids, like just giving everyone.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
A legacy, Like you know what it matters to because
because he peaked at high school prom king, dude, that
was the peak of his life.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
But that king wasn't on his jacket some sort of
soccer thing on your.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Jo cross country track.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I mean, I think it has possibly a point. If
you peaked in high school, that is that's so precious
to you.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Everything happens in high school?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Is that a lunch ones?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
No, it's just the hard work you put in. We
can't just be giving it to everyone, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
When do you think you peaked me?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah, I have no idea. I don't know if I
peaked yet. I mean, I don't understand when did any peak?
Did you ever have a peak?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah, I'd say I peaked probably like.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Gosh, that's tough.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I mean peak like where I felt the best about myself?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
What that be my peak?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
And you accomplished when you accomplish something man, when y'all
open for Garth Brooks.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Okay, when we opened up for Garth Brooks's good because
we'd already won like awards and stuff at that point.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'd say, that's pretty good. What year was that.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
One? I don't know?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Okay, oh yeah, post COVID recent I peaked twenty twenty one.
Why'd you go?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Eh?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I mean that's really Bobby's thing.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
No, we did it together. We did We did all
of it to you.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
I mean the real person they wanted was Bobby. Even
play the guitar maybe, but we did it all together.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I would say, that's not your peak.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
What was my peak?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't know, but I don't think that's your peak.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That was that pinnacle.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's definitely an amazing moment. But I would assume you
to go something like your peak, like when you like family.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Yeah, that's not what we're talking about anything.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
There's no rules on peaking.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
If you're talking about Lunchbucks peaking in high school, I
think we're talking about like Uncle Rico moments like twenty
years from now, Eddie's going to be telling that story about.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Opening in Arkansas.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
It's like Lunchbrucks is like one time I ran three miles.
You know, what are your sports stories?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, we really don't have any from him doing from.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
But he said on his letter he had it for
cross country and soccer.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You're right, he doesn't have a lot of sports stories
for I mean district champ.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I mean, what do you want your team life? For soccer,
for cross country, for track? I mean, what do you
want your goals?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Did you score?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Like?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Did you score the game winning goal? Like to take
you guys to state?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
I know I didn't do that. No, we made it
to the regional finals.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
We didn't.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
We lost to Belton in the state before we got
up stated.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
When did you peak?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Lunchbox?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Ooh, I don't know, man, Like I had different seasons
of peaking, like with chicks, it was probably twenty seven
to twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
But what to you of all the seasons of peaking
is the most peaked season?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Waits?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
What's twenty seven to twenty at the number of what's no?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
That that's when I, oh, the age got yeah, because
I mean sixth Street I slayed and that was just
so that was so good, so good. But high school, man,
I was I was the king too, I mean, and
we all know it because I got the crown. So
maybe it was high school, but I don't know. I
mean I ran Sixth Street for years?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Man, which is more important to you? You peak when
you crushed it in high school? I wass I peaked
when you crushed in high school? You crush it on
six Street?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Oh, probably high school because you know sixth Street. Only
a certain people in that bar. No, and then you
go to the next bar and it's like, oh, then
you got to peak. You gotta take over the room
again and they go home. You gotta repeak.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Sounds exhausting.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
Maybe one way to think about it is if you
only got to go back and relive one of those
versions of you, Which one are you choosing to go
back and relive?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Or possibly would you save it because you have something
more amazing coming?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
That means you haven't peaked yet.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
No, because I don't know what the future holds.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Man, So you don't have faith that something bigger is
going to happen, right, got it?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
So it's it's over then, so you have peak and
you would go back to which one?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Probably high school.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Because there he peaked in high school, cause then after.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
High school there's a lot left you can even go
if you want to hold it for forward, or you
can go back to one moment.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
What is it now, I'm going to go to Garth,
open up for Garth. I mean that was that was
pretty amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
That's a good call to Amy, Amy.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
What about you?
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Man? I want to save mine. Let's see what's ahead.
Maybe I'm going to be you know, what do they
call it? Like third chapter?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
What about Like when you made your movie that was
pretty peak.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
That's not her peak.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
I mean when you won that award in a bathroom.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You won that award and a few lines in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
That's terrible.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
That's good, that's really good scripted. My my scene was
in the bathroom and I said a few things. I
didn't do a few lines in the bathroom. That does
sound bad.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Miley got it?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Yeah, Yeah, what about you?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I'd hold off.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Yeah, dude, you've got You've got lots of things.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, but I would hold off. I don't think I've
hit my highest point yet.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Wow. No, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yeah, you're right, maybe I should wait.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
No, we can't know you're high school?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
No, no, like what if someone sees me in the crowd,
But but if it never happens.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
You never get to go back to it, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
What I'm saying, Because like we got two episodes of
Prices right that someone like you know, you're just gonna
see you in a crowd.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I know, and what are they gonna do with you?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Hear all these stories about oh they got like uh
Pam Anderson.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yetriguez from the Sandlot, you know how he was discovered.
He was waiting in line for a ride at the
school carnival and they said, you know what, why do
you to be an actor?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Dude in your forty year?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And so what if? I know, but people get late starts.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
They do need older actors for movies.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
He can't act right, You're.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Right, yeah, to be or not to be? That's the question.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I was waiting for the dramatic cause Eddie, all right,
thank you? No letterman jackets. According to the lunchbox for welders,
that's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That was telling me something good.
