Speaker 3 (00:16):
What's up? What's up?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
You're doing? Okay? Over there? Everything's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'll just check in and see you know, what's going
on in the world of weather?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Is that the app? You probably spend the most time
on Weather App?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I don't even take that much. Simmons is more like, yeah,
let's check. Okay, Yeah, that's good today. Cool. No, but
my wife did text me the other day. It's pretty funny.
Did she text me? As? She told me when I
got home? I don't remember. She goes, oh, you got
never gonna believe what Baby Box two said today. She goes,
I got him up for school and he told me, Mom,
(00:50):
I'm gonna be like this every day until you give
me a day off. And she's like, what do you
mean a day off? He goes a day off. She goes, okay,
I'll give you Saturday off and he goes, that's already
not a school day. I need a day off. From
school and I won't be like this.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
He's being grumpy.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I'm being tired in the morning.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You know what, kid, I get it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It was really fun, she said. It was so funny
the way he just looked at her and said, Mom,
I'm gonna be like this every day where I don't
want to get out of bed until you give me
a day off. Like hilarious.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
He has quite the rude awakening coming that never quite
goes away, unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Oh no, that's for us. You're life now, you're gonna
have to get up like.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
There's only about four years of your life where that
is not a requirement.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
That's right, that's right. You have a choice or some
people five six, seven years. You know, if you're Eddie
and you did ten years wait of college, Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, no, I was talking about like the only time
truly is like one to four years old where you
don't you have no requirements of when and how you
have to wake up?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Got it, got it?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Once you hit kindergarten and you have a time you
have to be somewhere. That's a valid point, you know,
because even in college you still have to be places.
You can't sleep all the time.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
You could that's a good point. I didn't even think
about that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah. Well here's some shout outs. Love you both. Lunchbox
cracks me up, and Morgan, you are the sweetest. It's
from Andrea.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh Andrea.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Then we've got Max from Massachusetts, who said, Lunchbox, I
love your energy.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
That's what I'm talking about. Price is right, did not,
but Matthew does. Thank you Matthew. He lives in Boston.
Max in Massachusetts, Massachusetts. I thought you said Boston's right,
Massachusetts shout out.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
No, he's a double m double on tondra?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
What what is that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
In a song? And I just heard it recently? Sits
in my head?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
What double on? Double?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah? Double on?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
How would that make a song? This is a double
on torondo. Let's go down to the gondola.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The words up into two interpretations, one of which is
usually risque or indecent. Huh, it's it. Yeah, it's in
a rap song. Don't ask me what I heard.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Okay, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Listen. Hey, since my cleanse, like, I don't have as
much brain fog, so I'm picking up on my things again.
It's been good for me.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, I'm glad because I never I wouldn't know what
a double on Trondre is ONNDRA whatever on Tendre on TNDRA.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I don't know anymore. Now now you have me confused?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Am I saying it right?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Though?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Double? I don't know. Let's move on. I just I'm
signing dumber and dumber as we go.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I think Lunchbox needs to apply for The Amazing Race.
Who would he choose as a partner?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
That is so tough. My wife and I watched the show. Well,
we would get divorced if we went on the show.
You think so, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yes, because when you guys watch together, is that like
you guys have different opinions over what should happen and
how it happens.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I'm just more I'm intense.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, she's very calm.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I'm intense, and I'd be yelling and I get frustrated
very easily. I have no patience, which would be terrible
on The Amazing Race. You have to have patience, and
you got to be a little bit handy, and you
got to I mean, are you handy at all? A
little bit? But and then you got to learn to
dance sometimes and that would be impossible, or sing.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You've learned to dance. Yeah, but we've done how many
dances in you?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I understand. But I'm watching this show and I'm like,
they sing and stuff, and I'm like, there's no way
I'd ever be able to sing on rhythm. Rhythm, and
so we just be eliminated.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Okay, but I feel like that's something you can work
on to it, at least sing on rhythm.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
The one thing I would be able to do is
when we go over a foreign country, I'd be able
to drive stick. A lot of these people go on
there and they don't know how to drive a standard
that I would have an advantage.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, wait, so question. I don't think i've ever actually
watched an amazing race.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Where have you been under a rock?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I just don't. I don't watch a lot of like ga.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
No, no, no, no, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Okay, you need to.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Watch your boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Question. Is it like if you had a partner that
could sing your dance, could they do that part? Or
do you both have to do it?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
No? No, you don't know what it is. You just say,
all right, it's a roadblock. Who's going to do it?
And you say I'm going to do this one then
you open the envelope and then you find out what
it is. Okay, and you have to do the same amount.
So if someone does three in a row at the
end of the season, you're doing the last three and
it don't matter. I mean, so you have no idea
what it's going.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
To be, gotcha, Okay, that's why I was asking strategy why.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That's why it's crazy because sometimes it's like one persons
scared of heights and like, all right, who is ready
to see the world from a different view. I'll do it.
I'll do it. And it's like skydiving. It's like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Gosh, I feel like that kind of has an inklean
in there. That's something like that would happen.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Well, you could be going underwater in a submarine. You
never know.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's toff. So who would you choose at
your partner?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I don't know. Okay, that's a great question, I really so.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Maybe more survivor because you'd be lone wolf.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Right yeah, oh my gosh, and I and I'd be
terrible because I would I need to eat.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I love to eat, and you can't eat on that show.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
No, they don't eat. Well, you can eat if you
catch food. Oh, you got to catch your own food.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Because you're like a survivor. You have to survivor.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I mean those people lose like the forty pounds.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, that's wild. I don't think I could do either
of these.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It would be so fun.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Although I could dance and I could pretend to sing.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Like I don't know if it would be so fun,
like I say fun, but I would love to challenge
myself and try.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It to do it. That's more what it is is
more of a challenge if.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You could do it, and to see if I'm good
at if I if I could you know, outplay these people. Yeah, okay,
And those physical challenges look impossible. I mean they look
so hard. It looks so hard.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, I'd have to get back into like really good
shape to do that, like my like muscle shape.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
But I don't think you have to because there's people
in there that they have never gone to the I
mean they don't.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I know, But I feel like that gives you your
best chance, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
If you're too muscular and too dominant, guess what, gotta
go too much of a comp person.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And you get voted off. Yeah, so it's all about
it could be a sneaky muscle, you know, I can't
really tell, but like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It's more about being an outwit, outlast, outplay survivor. Toka cheens.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
We don't know they'll ever do either.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
One of the ooh amazing race. Who would I take?
It's really hard? Who's good as a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You can come back to you right before the break
so you can think on it. Okay, yeah, I go
for it. Most memorable road trip from your youth. This
is from Mike oh Man.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I've got a couple. I've got one where we drove
to Chicago to see Grandma and Grandpa on the south
side of Chicago, Marcom, Illinois. Look it up on a map.
My parents went to Hazel I think it was Hazel
Crest High No, they didn't go to Hazel Crest High
School off of Cicero all that area. My uncle was
a fire chief in Hazel Crest. Why I said, Hazel Crest,
(07:39):
It's right next to Markham. But uh, my mom had
decided you know what, all right, you know, guys, I'm
going to read you a book right on the way
from Austin to Chicago, and we'll just read chapter here,
Chapter there and she was like, I got it from
the public library, and you guys all love dogs, so
I got where the red fern grows. And I mean,
(08:02):
poor Dan and Anne. I mean, it couldn't have been
a worse. I mean we pull into grandma and Grandpa's
little house and their little gravel right in front of
their garage. I stood that sound. It takes me back
every single time. I mean, it's like it's yesterday. And
that's when Dan and Anne left, and I mean we
(08:26):
were all in tears, bawling our eyes out, and it
was just like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So memorable, not for a good reason.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
And I mean Grandma and Grandma come out like, what's wrong?
Oh we where the red burn? Gross?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Poor Dan? Ann.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It was oh brutal.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Then don't ever do that to your kids.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, I don't ever do that to your kids. Then
the other one was we were going to Topeka, Kansas
to see grandma and grandpa on my dad's side, and
it was me, my brother, my sister, my mom, dad,
my uncle, Ken, aunt Kathy, and did we drive a
Vini van? Did we drive a car? No, we drove
(09:15):
a pickup truck.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Squeezed into the front and back row.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Oh no, no, no, there was no back row.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And there was how many of you guys?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
There was seven of us. So they threw a piece
of plywood in the bed and put some blankets on
top of it, put the camper shell on top. Dad
and uncle sat in the front. We sat in the back,
and it was great. And as the farther you got north,
(09:46):
when we got into Kansas, it was snowing. So we
were icicles in the back of the pickup truck and
we would stick our head through the little window to
get some heat. And my dad and uncle back, man,
we got to turn this heat down. It's so hot
up here. And I'm I mean by the time we
got to Grandma and Grandma's and up there gravel driveway
across from the little pond or lake whatever it was,
(10:07):
I mean, we might have been blue.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Might as well had a frostbite.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, I mean, it was unbelievable. We rode in the
bed of a pickup truck on plot on plywood all
the way from Austin to Kansas. That are those are
my two most memorable. I mean, I got another one.
I don't know if we have time for it, though.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
We don't have time, keep moving, let's go Okay, did
you have a partner really quick before I jump into
this break, We'll go with Morgan. Okay, we're taking a
quick break.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You might murder each other.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Has your wife found a rental that she likes? This
is from Sean in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
At oh a car? Yeah, ah, she is leasing one
right now. Hadn't made a decision. But I don't know.
She changes her mind more than I've ever I mean, like,
if you go to dinner with her, you'd be amazed
that how many times she can change her mind on
what she's going to order by the time the waiter
gets back. It's unbelievable. This is what I'm going with.
(11:08):
Then the waiter gets there. Oh, actually, I don't know.
I think I'm gonna switch to this give me one
more minute. It's like it's like a life or death
situation where she has to order. It's like, come on,
just pick something.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So that's where the lack of patients come.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah, where my lack of patients is very like I'm like,
come on, like, really, let's just order something. We can
come back if you don't like it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Okay, So no new cars in the family, correct, James
in Virginia. Are you still doing rec soccer?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I am doing rec soccer right now. I missed the
semi finals and finals. Last week when I was in LA.
We made the finals. We lost on PKS. I was
not there. I let my team down. I let America down.
So I mean it was two letdowns in a row.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Dang lunch I know, a rough week I did.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I didn't have a rough week. I didn't have a
rough week. It was sad. I didn't my team to
even tell. I was like, hey, do we win right now?
We lost championship PKS. I was like, oh, cool man, great.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
But they were in the championship. It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, that's good. That's good.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Not of the A division though, not of the A bracket. Oh,
those teams are really good. And the B I don't know.
I know we maybe in the F I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
And here's a problem. We still don't have females. Good gosh,
how hard is it to find a female that plays
soccer in Nashville that will show up and actually knows
how to play soccer? I mean, if you do radio
lunchbox on Instagram, it would be amazing. We could use you.
We need females.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I know. He's trying to pay my friend to come
back for another season.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, your friend took off because she's doing ty Rex,
t Rex, high Rocks, High Rocks whatever. And I'm like, look,
you got to come back.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
She's like, but I recruited you a good one though,
she was.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I know, I know. And then she did t Rex
and she hadn't played, and she's like, I can't. I
can't afford them. I don't care. I don't care. If
you can afford it, we'll pay for it. Just get
back on the team. We need female. I don't care.
I just need it. Every week I had to find
a female, Like, it's so frustrating.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
How did you end up doing the Bonehead? That's from
Keaton and DC?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
We mean, how did I end up doing that? Like?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
How did the Bonehead come?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Bobby said, hey, all right, I do the Bonehead? And
I say, all right, and then I read the story
that I found.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Is that what happened like many years? Because you've been
doing it for god?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, I don't really I mean that, let's be honest,
I don't remember how that came about.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Just one day you're reading a story and yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
And I was like, oh, that's funny. Yeah, and then
we turned it into the bonehead story of the day.
I'm not sure how.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I mean, you've been doing that since before I was
part of that.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, we've been doing it since like the Clinton administration.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I don't know that you guys have been on that long.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, so Keaton, I'm sorry, I don't
have the exact story, but uh, let's just say that
one day, I don't know, I came up with this
magical segment that has lasted all these years.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
We'll just say that, Okay, good job. Can you get
to the bottom of why he's not saving for retirement?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
That's from Dakota, Dakota. Here's the thing. When you have
three kids and you come from a family that didn't
know what retirement was, you don't know what retirement is.
Like my parents didn't save for retirement. They didn't have
money to save for retirement, so they didn't know anything
about it. They didn't teach me about it. And now
(14:19):
I'm so far down that road that now I got
three kids and I like to live like I don't
like to like saving for the future is great. Right, yay, cool,
Well what if there is no future? What if you
save all that money and then you never get to
use it? What's the dang point? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I mean that's one way to live for sure, you'll
live both. You could still save while also still living life.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah, it's tomato or tomato.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I mean, you could save twenty five dollars a week
and starts talking it. No, that's really not gonna do
anything over long tournament. Will That's where it always starts.
Does your wife save any money?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I don't know. I don't look at her stuff. Let's see,
twenty five dollars a week, clear, twenty five times fifty
two equals one thousand, three hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's one thousand, three hundred dollars. You haven't a.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Nest egg twenty so I'll have twenty six thousand dollars
if I say for the next twenty years.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Hey, that's a nest egg that you didn't have.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Am I gonna do with twenty six thousand dollars? And
I ain't gonna make that's gonna last me about two seconds?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Hey, but it's twenty six thousand dollars better than zero,
that's true. You know, like and that's not something you're
gonna probably super notice. With having kids, you just gotta
start small.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, right, I do save change. Every pinion of fine.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Thing doesn't count.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Oh oh, I thought everything counted.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You're right, it does count. But I'm saying you should
also be doing other things than the change.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I mean probably, but it's just hard.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I know it's hard. Nobody ever said it was easy.
Dave Ramsey has a whole show about it. That's why
it's you know what else?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
They say it easy? What pimpenata? Easy?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Okay? Did you buy any lottery tickets while you're in California?
Higher chances you imply? Gin and socol Gin and Socao.
Oh I bought lottery tickets and did I win? Wouldn't
you have had to go back out there and them?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't know. I think you can mail them.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I don't know. Okay, but you didn't.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Who cares if I'd want millions of dollars? You don't
think I'd have flown back out there in a heartbeat.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
You would have done it. But you did buy them,
and you didn't.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
And I was there when the drawings happened, and I
did some scratchers. Nothing californ nothing on anything. No, I
spent like one hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Then when they well, maybe this you know you you
said you were changing your ways.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, maybe California did in the place for me. Maybe
that's what they were trying to It was a sign
from the man above.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, what did you say? Fishadow water, fish out of water?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Pitch? Oh, I just burned out of water fish water? No, no, no,
you know what that song that is gonna get gin
a lot of beaches fish.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And I wanna I don't know what song you're saying,
you don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Peaches by the United Presidents of the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I definitely did not hear that.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
But have you heard that song?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, but I definitely didn't want.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
To hear A funny story about the song, and we
have time kind of squeeze it in.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, you got like thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Okay. So we went to Dallas to see my brother
play baseball in high school. He was playing in some
tournament and Carrie Wood, former MLBA pitcher, he was on
the high school team my brother was playing against, and
my parents said we could bring a friend each, So
I brought aj And I don't know if my sister.
She may have brought Jennifer, she brought Comika. I don't remember,
(17:34):
and that's sad that I don't remember. My memory is
going and I we were gonna go to six Flags.
My parents are gonna let us go to six Flags
the day after watching the games. But I was sick.
I got sick. I hadn't and so they had to
lug me around all day, vomiting everywhere. And they dropped
my sister and her friend Kamiker, Jennifer not sure and
AJ off at six Flags. And after all day dragging
(17:56):
me around, me being sick, vomiting and everything, they pick
up them up and we're driving back to Austin and
we stopped. There's a song that comes on the radio
and it's Peaches, and my mom goes, oh, who sings this?
And AJ goes the Presidence of the United States of
America And my mom turns around and goes, Okay, why
(18:17):
give you just give me a serious answer? Why do
you always have to be smart asses? We lug you
all the way to Dallas, we let you go to
six Wags, and you can't even give me a real answer.
What the hell is wrong with you? Guys? I'm tired
of being treated like that and just rips into them
and we all just sit there with bubbles in our
mouth because we were like, oh my gosh. And we
(18:38):
stop at a gas station like ten minutes later and
they get out and we have never laughed so hard
in our life. And then like a week and a
half later, my mom was listening to the radio and
they set up next you know are they This song
plays and they said that was the presidents of the
United States of America and she was like, oh, tell

You're doing? Okay? Over there? Everything's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'll just check in and see you know, what's going
on in the world of weather?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Is that the app? You probably spend the most time
on Weather App?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I don't even take that much. Simmons is more like, yeah,
let's check. Okay, Yeah, that's good today. Cool. No, but
my wife did text me the other day. It's pretty funny.
Did she text me? As? She told me when I
got home? I don't remember. She goes, oh, you got
never gonna believe what Baby Box two said today. She goes,
I got him up for school and he told me, Mom,
(00:50):
I'm gonna be like this every day until you give
me a day off. And she's like, what do you
mean a day off? He goes a day off. She goes, okay,
I'll give you Saturday off and he goes, that's already
not a school day. I need a day off. From
school and I won't be like this.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
He's being grumpy.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I'm being tired in the morning.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
You know what, kid, I get it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It was really fun, she said. It was so funny
the way he just looked at her and said, Mom,
I'm gonna be like this every day where I don't
want to get out of bed until you give me
a day off. Like hilarious.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
He has quite the rude awakening coming that never quite
goes away, unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Oh no, that's for us. You're life now, you're gonna
have to get up like.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
There's only about four years of your life where that
is not a requirement.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
That's right, that's right. You have a choice or some
people five six, seven years. You know, if you're Eddie
and you did ten years wait of college, Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, no, I was talking about like the only time
truly is like one to four years old where you
don't you have no requirements of when and how you
have to wake up?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Got it, got it?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Once you hit kindergarten and you have a time you
have to be somewhere. That's a valid point, you know,
because even in college you still have to be places.
You can't sleep all the time.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
You could that's a good point. I didn't even think
about that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah. Well here's some shout outs. Love you both. Lunchbox
cracks me up, and Morgan, you are the sweetest. It's
from Andrea.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh Andrea.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Then we've got Max from Massachusetts, who said, Lunchbox, I
love your energy.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
That's what I'm talking about. Price is right, did not,
but Matthew does. Thank you Matthew. He lives in Boston.
Max in Massachusetts, Massachusetts. I thought you said Boston's right,
Massachusetts shout out.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
No, he's a double m double on tondra?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
What what is that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
In a song? And I just heard it recently? Sits
in my head?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
What double on? Double?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah? Double on?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
How would that make a song? This is a double
on torondo. Let's go down to the gondola.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The words up into two interpretations, one of which is
usually risque or indecent. Huh, it's it. Yeah, it's in
a rap song. Don't ask me what I heard.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Okay, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Listen. Hey, since my cleanse, like, I don't have as
much brain fog, so I'm picking up on my things again.
It's been good for me.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yeah, I'm glad because I never I wouldn't know what
a double on Trondre is ONNDRA whatever on Tendre on TNDRA.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I don't know anymore. Now now you have me confused?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Am I saying it right?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Though?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Double? I don't know. Let's move on. I just I'm
signing dumber and dumber as we go.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I think Lunchbox needs to apply for The Amazing Race.
Who would he choose as a partner?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
That is so tough. My wife and I watched the show. Well,
we would get divorced if we went on the show.
You think so, Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yes, because when you guys watch together, is that like
you guys have different opinions over what should happen and
how it happens.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I'm just more I'm intense.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, she's very calm.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I'm intense, and I'd be yelling and I get frustrated
very easily. I have no patience, which would be terrible
on The Amazing Race. You have to have patience, and
you got to be a little bit handy, and you
got to I mean, are you handy at all? A
little bit? But and then you got to learn to
dance sometimes and that would be impossible, or sing.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
You've learned to dance. Yeah, but we've done how many
dances in you?
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I understand. But I'm watching this show and I'm like,
they sing and stuff, and I'm like, there's no way
I'd ever be able to sing on rhythm. Rhythm, and
so we just be eliminated.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Okay, but I feel like that's something you can work
on to it, at least sing on rhythm.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
The one thing I would be able to do is
when we go over a foreign country, I'd be able
to drive stick. A lot of these people go on
there and they don't know how to drive a standard
that I would have an advantage.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Okay, wait, so question. I don't think i've ever actually
watched an amazing race.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Where have you been under a rock?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I just don't. I don't watch a lot of like ga.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
No, no, no, no, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Okay, you need to.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Watch your boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Question. Is it like if you had a partner that
could sing your dance, could they do that part? Or
do you both have to do it?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
No? No, you don't know what it is. You just say,
all right, it's a roadblock. Who's going to do it?
And you say I'm going to do this one then
you open the envelope and then you find out what
it is. Okay, and you have to do the same amount.
So if someone does three in a row at the
end of the season, you're doing the last three and
it don't matter. I mean, so you have no idea
what it's going.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
To be, gotcha, Okay, that's why I was asking strategy why.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
That's why it's crazy because sometimes it's like one persons
scared of heights and like, all right, who is ready
to see the world from a different view. I'll do it.
I'll do it. And it's like skydiving. It's like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Gosh, I feel like that kind of has an inklean
in there. That's something like that would happen.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Well, you could be going underwater in a submarine. You
never know.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's toff. So who would you choose at
your partner?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I don't know. Okay, that's a great question, I really so.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Maybe more survivor because you'd be lone wolf.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Right yeah, oh my gosh, and I and I'd be
terrible because I would I need to eat.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I love to eat, and you can't eat on that show.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
No, they don't eat. Well, you can eat if you
catch food. Oh, you got to catch your own food.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Because you're like a survivor. You have to survivor.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I mean those people lose like the forty pounds.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, that's wild. I don't think I could do either
of these.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It would be so fun.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Although I could dance and I could pretend to sing.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Like I don't know if it would be so fun,
like I say fun, but I would love to challenge
myself and try.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It to do it. That's more what it is is
more of a challenge if.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
You could do it, and to see if I'm good
at if I if I could you know, outplay these people. Yeah, okay,
And those physical challenges look impossible. I mean they look
so hard. It looks so hard.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, I'd have to get back into like really good
shape to do that, like my like muscle shape.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
But I don't think you have to because there's people
in there that they have never gone to the I
mean they don't.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I know, But I feel like that gives you your
best chance, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
If you're too muscular and too dominant, guess what, gotta
go too much of a comp person.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And you get voted off. Yeah, so it's all about
it could be a sneaky muscle, you know, I can't
really tell, but like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
It's more about being an outwit, outlast, outplay survivor. Toka cheens.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
We don't know they'll ever do either.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
One of the ooh amazing race. Who would I take?
It's really hard? Who's good as a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You can come back to you right before the break
so you can think on it. Okay, yeah, I go
for it. Most memorable road trip from your youth. This
is from Mike oh Man.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I've got a couple. I've got one where we drove
to Chicago to see Grandma and Grandpa on the south
side of Chicago, Marcom, Illinois. Look it up on a map.
My parents went to Hazel I think it was Hazel
Crest High No, they didn't go to Hazel Crest High
School off of Cicero all that area. My uncle was
a fire chief in Hazel Crest. Why I said, Hazel Crest,
(07:39):
It's right next to Markham. But uh, my mom had
decided you know what, all right, you know, guys, I'm
going to read you a book right on the way
from Austin to Chicago, and we'll just read chapter here,
Chapter there and she was like, I got it from
the public library, and you guys all love dogs, so
I got where the red fern grows. And I mean,
(08:02):
poor Dan and Anne. I mean, it couldn't have been
a worse. I mean we pull into grandma and Grandpa's
little house and their little gravel right in front of
their garage. I stood that sound. It takes me back
every single time. I mean, it's like it's yesterday. And
that's when Dan and Anne left, and I mean we
(08:26):
were all in tears, bawling our eyes out, and it
was just like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So memorable, not for a good reason.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
And I mean Grandma and Grandma come out like, what's wrong?
Oh we where the red burn? Gross?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Poor Dan? Ann.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
It was oh brutal.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Then don't ever do that to your kids.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, I don't ever do that to your kids. Then
the other one was we were going to Topeka, Kansas
to see grandma and grandpa on my dad's side, and
it was me, my brother, my sister, my mom, dad,
my uncle, Ken, aunt Kathy, and did we drive a
Vini van? Did we drive a car? No, we drove
(09:15):
a pickup truck.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Squeezed into the front and back row.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Oh no, no, no, there was no back row.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
And there was how many of you guys?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
There was seven of us. So they threw a piece
of plywood in the bed and put some blankets on
top of it, put the camper shell on top. Dad
and uncle sat in the front. We sat in the back,
and it was great. And as the farther you got north,
(09:46):
when we got into Kansas, it was snowing. So we
were icicles in the back of the pickup truck and
we would stick our head through the little window to
get some heat. And my dad and uncle back, man,
we got to turn this heat down. It's so hot
up here. And I'm I mean by the time we
got to Grandma and Grandma's and up there gravel driveway
across from the little pond or lake whatever it was,
(10:07):
I mean, we might have been blue.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Might as well had a frostbite.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, I mean, it was unbelievable. We rode in the
bed of a pickup truck on plot on plywood all
the way from Austin to Kansas. That are those are
my two most memorable. I mean, I got another one.
I don't know if we have time for it, though.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
We don't have time, keep moving, let's go Okay, did
you have a partner really quick before I jump into
this break, We'll go with Morgan. Okay, we're taking a
quick break.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You might murder each other.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Has your wife found a rental that she likes? This
is from Sean in North Carolina.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
At oh a car? Yeah, ah, she is leasing one
right now. Hadn't made a decision. But I don't know.
She changes her mind more than I've ever I mean, like,
if you go to dinner with her, you'd be amazed
that how many times she can change her mind on
what she's going to order by the time the waiter
gets back. It's unbelievable. This is what I'm going with.
(11:08):
Then the waiter gets there. Oh, actually, I don't know.
I think I'm gonna switch to this give me one
more minute. It's like it's like a life or death
situation where she has to order. It's like, come on,
just pick something.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So that's where the lack of patients come.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah, where my lack of patients is very like I'm like,
come on, like, really, let's just order something. We can
come back if you don't like it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Okay, So no new cars in the family, correct, James
in Virginia. Are you still doing rec soccer?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I am doing rec soccer right now. I missed the
semi finals and finals. Last week when I was in LA.
We made the finals. We lost on PKS. I was
not there. I let my team down. I let America down.
So I mean it was two letdowns in a row.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Dang lunch I know, a rough week I did.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I didn't have a rough week. I didn't have a
rough week. It was sad. I didn't my team to
even tell. I was like, hey, do we win right now?
We lost championship PKS. I was like, oh, cool man, great.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
But they were in the championship. It's pretty awesome.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, that's good. That's good.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Not of the A division though, not of the A bracket. Oh,
those teams are really good. And the B I don't know.
I know we maybe in the F I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
And here's a problem. We still don't have females. Good gosh,
how hard is it to find a female that plays
soccer in Nashville that will show up and actually knows
how to play soccer? I mean, if you do radio
lunchbox on Instagram, it would be amazing. We could use you.
We need females.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I know. He's trying to pay my friend to come
back for another season.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah, your friend took off because she's doing ty Rex,
t Rex, high Rocks, High Rocks whatever. And I'm like, look,
you got to come back.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
She's like, but I recruited you a good one though,
she was.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I know, I know. And then she did t Rex
and she hadn't played, and she's like, I can't. I
can't afford them. I don't care. I don't care. If
you can afford it, we'll pay for it. Just get
back on the team. We need female. I don't care.
I just need it. Every week I had to find
a female, Like, it's so frustrating.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
How did you end up doing the Bonehead? That's from
Keaton and DC?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
We mean, how did I end up doing that? Like?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
How did the Bonehead come?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Bobby said, hey, all right, I do the Bonehead? And
I say, all right, and then I read the story
that I found.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Is that what happened like many years? Because you've been
doing it for god?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, I don't really I mean that, let's be honest,
I don't remember how that came about.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Just one day you're reading a story and yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
And I was like, oh, that's funny. Yeah, and then
we turned it into the bonehead story of the day.
I'm not sure how.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I mean, you've been doing that since before I was
part of that.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, we've been doing it since like the Clinton administration.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I don't know that you guys have been on that long.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, so Keaton, I'm sorry, I don't
have the exact story, but uh, let's just say that
one day, I don't know, I came up with this
magical segment that has lasted all these years.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
We'll just say that, Okay, good job. Can you get
to the bottom of why he's not saving for retirement?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
That's from Dakota, Dakota. Here's the thing. When you have
three kids and you come from a family that didn't
know what retirement was, you don't know what retirement is.
Like my parents didn't save for retirement. They didn't have
money to save for retirement, so they didn't know anything
about it. They didn't teach me about it. And now
(14:19):
I'm so far down that road that now I got
three kids and I like to live like I don't
like to like saving for the future is great. Right, yay, cool,
Well what if there is no future? What if you
save all that money and then you never get to
use it? What's the dang point? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I mean that's one way to live for sure, you'll
live both. You could still save while also still living life.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah, it's tomato or tomato.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I mean, you could save twenty five dollars a week
and starts talking it. No, that's really not gonna do
anything over long tournament. Will That's where it always starts.
Does your wife save any money?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I don't know. I don't look at her stuff. Let's see,
twenty five dollars a week, clear, twenty five times fifty
two equals one thousand, three hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's one thousand, three hundred dollars. You haven't a.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Nest egg twenty so I'll have twenty six thousand dollars
if I say for the next twenty years.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Hey, that's a nest egg that you didn't have.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Am I gonna do with twenty six thousand dollars? And
I ain't gonna make that's gonna last me about two seconds?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Hey, but it's twenty six thousand dollars better than zero,
that's true. You know, like and that's not something you're
gonna probably super notice. With having kids, you just gotta
start small.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, right, I do save change. Every pinion of fine.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Thing doesn't count.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Oh oh, I thought everything counted.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
You're right, it does count. But I'm saying you should
also be doing other things than the change.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I mean probably, but it's just hard.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I know it's hard. Nobody ever said it was easy.
Dave Ramsey has a whole show about it. That's why
it's you know what else?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
They say it easy? What pimpenata? Easy?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Okay? Did you buy any lottery tickets while you're in California?
Higher chances you imply? Gin and socol Gin and Socao.
Oh I bought lottery tickets and did I win? Wouldn't
you have had to go back out there and them?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't know. I think you can mail them.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I don't know. Okay, but you didn't.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Who cares if I'd want millions of dollars? You don't
think I'd have flown back out there in a heartbeat.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
You would have done it. But you did buy them,
and you didn't.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
And I was there when the drawings happened, and I
did some scratchers. Nothing californ nothing on anything. No, I
spent like one hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Then when they well, maybe this you know you you
said you were changing your ways.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, maybe California did in the place for me. Maybe
that's what they were trying to It was a sign
from the man above.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, what did you say? Fishadow water, fish out of water?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Pitch? Oh, I just burned out of water fish water? No, no, no,
you know what that song that is gonna get gin
a lot of beaches fish.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And I wanna I don't know what song you're saying,
you don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Peaches by the United Presidents of the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I definitely did not hear that.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
But have you heard that song?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, but I definitely didn't want.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
To hear A funny story about the song, and we
have time kind of squeeze it in.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, you got like thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Okay. So we went to Dallas to see my brother
play baseball in high school. He was playing in some
tournament and Carrie Wood, former MLBA pitcher, he was on
the high school team my brother was playing against, and
my parents said we could bring a friend each, So
I brought aj And I don't know if my sister.
She may have brought Jennifer, she brought Comika. I don't remember,
(17:34):
and that's sad that I don't remember. My memory is
going and I we were gonna go to six Flags.
My parents are gonna let us go to six Flags
the day after watching the games. But I was sick.
I got sick. I hadn't and so they had to
lug me around all day, vomiting everywhere. And they dropped
my sister and her friend Kamiker, Jennifer not sure and
AJ off at six Flags. And after all day dragging
(17:56):
me around, me being sick, vomiting and everything, they pick
up them up and we're driving back to Austin and
we stopped. There's a song that comes on the radio
and it's Peaches, and my mom goes, oh, who sings this?
And AJ goes the Presidence of the United States of
America And my mom turns around and goes, Okay, why
(18:17):
give you just give me a serious answer? Why do
you always have to be smart asses? We lug you
all the way to Dallas, we let you go to
six Wags, and you can't even give me a real answer.
What the hell is wrong with you? Guys? I'm tired
of being treated like that and just rips into them
and we all just sit there with bubbles in our
mouth because we were like, oh my gosh. And we
(18:38):
stop at a gas station like ten minutes later and
they get out and we have never laughed so hard
in our life. And then like a week and a
half later, my mom was listening to the radio and
they set up next you know are they This song
plays and they said that was the presidents of the
United States of America and she was like, oh, tell
(19:00):
me the truth.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
