Welcome to Monday show. Morning studio. Morning. A couple sad and also bizarre stories. So there was an awful shooting at Brown University over the weekend. Two students died. Nine others were injured. They can't find the shooter. They arrest. or they had a person of interest. They put his picture all over the internet. Then they let them go.

And they're like, yeah, not him. Yeah, things are going in a different direction now. And I'm like, well, gosh. They're like, I saw there were, I think, 500 cameras, almost 500 cameras in all that area. Wow. Like, this is a surveillance state we live in. And they can't get the guy. And they get the wrong guy.

And was it the wrong guy? Was it actually the right guy? But I don't think it was the right guy if they'd let him go. And that shouldn't be the dominating headline over. nine people were shot. Two students dead, nine others were injured. 75 school shootings so far this year. Isn't that crazy?

And the fact they can't find the guy. They grabbed the wrong guy. And the fact they do this picture, the wrong guy's picture up, if it was the wrong guy's pictures of where I can see him on my head right now. So the last time we checked, which was about 30 minutes ago, they had not found the guy. So if anybody does a quick search and they have found the guy, let me know. It's just bizarre. or they can't find the guy, especially with the world we live in now.

The other story was, and I saw this as I was going to bed last night, just the beginning part of it. They were like, two people are dead at Rob Reiner's house. And they didn't say yet that it was him and his wife, which I fell asleep, so I woke up this morning, and I saw that was the case. The way it was written was weird. It said that he owned the house. Yeah, it was, again, well, then they started going,

well, the ages of the people, though, do match the ages of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle. So Rob Reiner directed Stand By Me, Princess Bride When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men A Ton So they were stabbed to death in their home yesterday And sources say they were murdered by their 32-year-old son Nick Now, Robin and his son Nick did a movie together

I don't know 10 years or so ago about Nick's addiction problems And I don't know that this has anything to do with that Rob was 78, his wife was 70 according to this I've seen differences on their ages But, yeah, I woke up with all the... That's bizarre. With all the information that it was him and it's possibly their son. Yeah, the daughter, I believe, found them and said to the police allegedly gave her brother as a suspect saying he could be dangerous.

With a knife, right? Yeah, it was a... Yeah. There was also the thing in Australia, which I didn't have my notes here on it, but at Bondi Beach. The beach. Where the guy goes up, there's two guys. believe, and they're shooting on the first day of Hanukkah. And you see the dude go up and tackle the front shooter?

That's crazy. And the craziest part, because he goes up from behind and grabs the shooter from back, pulls him down, takes the gun from him. But the second shooter is behind the first shooter and can see this happening. It was a crazy weekend. A sad weekend. 16 were killed on that Bondi Beach in Australia. man

screw everybody people suck not everybody that's how I feel though when I watch the news like this it's like screw everybody people suck you can have to convince me now

somebody's got to do some really good stuff to convince me people are good again because it's that's a that is that's terrible the fact there have been 75 school shootings this year how about that

tell me that ain't terrible tell me that ain't the worst freaking thing you could possibly hear sad parts I can't remember like more than five that's even worse because we've become desensitized to it. Well, and 75 is a lot to recall.

Yeah. Like it, yeah. There have been not, that's just school shootings, 391 mass shootings. So that's literally just school shootings. More than one per state. That's one and a half per state if my math is correct. 75, 75, 70, 50, and then 25, which is half of that, one and a half per state. That's quick math.

That's real quick math. That's, well, it's pretty simple. No, it's not that amazing. It's simple. I will do something a bit positive here. I saw Morgan walked in and gave everybody treats. Did you make these Morgan? I sure did.

Yours is all dairy-free and it's yummy. You got chocolates in there. I have dairy-free chocolate? Yep, I made them. And brownies and a rice-crispy treat. Wait. Oh, that's legit. She only gave them to you and Amy.

No, there's a big tray for us. There's a huge tray out there that I brought for everybody. But they got individual boxes. And we got like the scraps. Are you angry? Yes. This is two years in a row. It's the holiday season.

Morgan, would you like that? Like, why did we get the leftovers? Well, hold on. It's not leftovers. I spent all weekend baking so you guys could have a plate because you complained last year. And they both deserved him. Amy brings presents for everybody all the time. Bobby has fired up right now.

He has an allergy. I have an allergy. I brought some for Mike also because he's vegan. And that's where the separation is. All the rest of you guys don't have. allergies. She didn't do anything. Amy has no allergies.

She didn't do anything to take away from you. I got regular. Everybody take a breath. She did nothing to take away from you, but you're mad. She just brought it. But she presented to everybody at the same time. She goes, yours are out there. Hey, you guys can go to the buffet.

I'm going to give them their own individual meal. Do you know how much work it is? Do you ever bring anything in for anybody? Yeah. No. No. I brought some cookies to the break room one day. That you bought from Kroger.

You've never baked in your life. And those cookies weren't for something else. Yeah, they were left over for my kid's birthday. Right, right, right, right. Yeah. They were just at the house, so you just brought it. She made these four. But she asked, did I ever bring anything?

So there's facts that I did. So there's a point for me. But I'm just saying two years in a row she knows that, like, wow. Yeah, and I'm still going to keep doing it because I would like to give one to Bobby and Amy. I'd like to give one to everyone. I brought a whole plate. You didn't even go out there and look at it.

No, I saw it. I saw the plate. And I'm like, oh, here are the leftovers that didn't fit in the box. Guess why? You get none. Those are left over. They're the new presentation. Those are nice. I have an allergy.

Mike's a vegan. Amy's awesome. You guys all suck. You don't deserve a box. So you wanted to change the vibe. You know what? I'm for lunchbox. Everybody else gets over.

Yeah. So, you know, like we have all the emotions happening at any given moment. Hello, Bobby Bowens. My fiance recently told me that they want their best friend who happens to be the opposite sex to be their best woman in our wedding or best person if that makes me more comfortable. She's been his friend for years and I truly believe nothing has ever happened between them, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't uncomfortable. They talk all the time, have inside jokes I'm not a part of. And honestly, she knows details about my fiancee that I'm pretty sure I don't even know yet. I don't want to be the insecure partner who says no, but it feels weird having another woman stand

right next to my fiance at the altar, like they're the second most important person in the relationship. So am I wrong to feel this way? Should I push through the discomfort because friendships matter? Or is it fair to ask for some boundaries on a day that's supposed to be about us? Signed trying not to be the jealous one. Man, you can tell she's bothered by it by the way that she says, they have inside jokes I'm not a part of,

and she knows details that I'm pretty sure I don't even know yet. Yeah, so I was just thinking that she'd probably, feel the same way, but just minus the jealousy part because with a best man, there's inside jokes, there's details that, you know, but you're just not bothered by it because it's a guy. Yeah, because I would think even though she believes him, she doesn't all the way believe him. Or you wouldn't be bothered by that, that they haven't ever done anything. I would think there's a morsel of wonder if anything's ever really happened. I also think you're not wrong for feeling anyway.

Like feelings aren't wrong. Like how they come out, I mean, you can make wrong decisions there. But I think if it makes you uncomfortable, you don't have it at your wedding period. Like, why would you have something at your wedding that makes you uncomfortable? Well, this is his best friend. Could this be a deal breaker? Like, if she tells him, like, who's more important? Him and the best friend or him and the bride?

Him and her. But, I mean, I think there has to be a level of understanding, like that, like, that, what's the issue is you don't trust me. Yeah, and you know what? That's not going to go away in three months. The answer is no. She can't be standing there as the best woman. Because regardless, you don't deserve for any reason,

fair or unfair, to be uncomfortable at your own wedding. Regardless, it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong. You don't deserve to pay all this money to have this whole big day and you still feel uncomfortable while you're up there. The root of it, though, is she doesn't trust who she's marrying. Okay. Well, that's the bigger issue. But that's not what she's asking.

She's asking, can I say no to this? And you can say no to this. I guess that would be my encouragement is to like. Well, that's what I was saying. She doesn't trust him. That's why I was saying when she's like, she doesn't know details. Like there's a morsel in her. And maybe she doesn't trust him.

Maybe she doesn't, I don't know. Yeah, it's hard. I had men on my side. Yeah, but your main person wasn't though. It was your sister. Yeah, my main person was my sister. She was my, yeah, matron of honor. And then I had three, what did we call them, bridesmen.

And three makes it easier than one. Yeah. But also it's not your main person. This is like standing right up next to you. That's way different. Yeah, I mean, it's fair to ask, have a conversation with him of like, here's how I'm feeling. And I guess I'm curious, would you have similar thoughts if it was flipped and I had a man standing next to me that I had all these jokes with and he was representing, like,

can you put yourself in my shoes? And hopefully he could and relate to that. In the end, he has to cut her. Not the bride. He has to cut his, he's got to move her down a couple of spots. I think she can still be in it, but she can't be the main best woman. Yeah. If the wife is uncomfortable with that, because that is not a day where you should have anything that makes you uncomfortable. Yeah.

So you can have all the healthy talks and there's just something that makes her think that he's not telling her the truth. Right, which that makes me think that's the bigger problem. Moving her down doesn't change that. It does for the wedding. Okay. And she may think this is not something to kill the whole relationship over because it may be her that has the issue. It's inside of herself. It's maybe that she doesn't trust him.

She has issues in her past that make her feel that way about other women and guys. So it may not even be about him. Yeah. but she doesn't deserve it. Yeah, I get a new husband. Start over. I wouldn't have this if I were you. You can find the healthy way to get to it,

but I wouldn't have it because you don't deserve that on your wedding day. That's what I would say. It's uncomfortable. He needs to understand. And if he doesn't understand that he is not prioritizing you. Yeah.

That's what I say. It's uncomfortable. But I appreciate your email on that. Some voicemails. Number one. I have a friend of mine who lets their eight-year-old cup. Like if he falls off his bike, He can go, oh, F, that hurt.

But he couldn't say like, F you. I was wondering what the parents on the show thought about that. Eight years old can say curse words. Thoughts? Let me know. Yeah. I get the difference between, oh, that hurt and you. So that's, those are some good parameters. However, I probably am not going to encourage that, at least in my house,

just because at school, that's not going to be allowed at other people's home. that's likely going to be inappropriate or rude. And I just don't want them to do that, especially at that age. Like, they can save it for when they're older. Do you ever see the videos where a parent will put their phone on a record and they won't tell the kid and they'll go, hey, I'm going to walk out. You can say all the curse words you want. And it's like a four or six year old.

And like, it's the one time you can do it. They don't know they're being recorded. And as soon as the parent walks out, they shut the door, the kid's like, they know all the words. They're so funny. Yeah. Those are really funny. They're very funny.

Eddie, you guys? No, no, dude. No, absolutely not. Like, and that's, you know, like we curse, but like not around them. Although I did, I'd never cursed in front of my 17-year-old, and I took him to the Opry. Ever? Ever. Ever.

No, no, no. And I took him to the Opry with me, and I was talking to some record guy that's, dude, one slipped out in the middle of it. And I saw his face go, oh. Dad just said a curse word. The idea of his dad crumbled. But you know what, though? He's never brought that up, like, at all. And that was what a month ago?

You've never said a curse word of funny. Never. What about the other kids? No, no, definitely not. Got it. No. All right, next one, Ray. Hey, I'm catching up on the podcast on a long road trip.

And I have an idea for 12 days of Christmas for lunchbox. His has to be five losing lotto tickets. And he'll just be so frustrated every time he has to say it. But I think it'll be hilarious. Love you guys. Bye. We will take that into consideration. I considered it.

I love it. We're in. That's funny. That'll be Lunchbox's line when we perform the 12 days of Christmas. Practice it. Five losing lottery tickets. Nailed it. I'd say lotto.

Lotto ticket? Yeah. Five losing lotto. I don't know. They both work. Neither work so you can pick whichever one. So I'm wrong on that. Hold on.

What did I say lottery? So let's try it. Five losing lotto tickets. That also feels clunky. Pick whichever one you like best. I like water. Yeah. I don't talk to myself.

Talk to yourself. Let me know what you come up with. Circle back. Yes. Circle back with yourself and then circle back with me. All right, next up. I listen to your show every single day on my way to and from school with my mom. I love the show.

And I just wanted to ask if you could give a shout out to my mom, Darren Fitzgerald. She loves the podcast, listens to it almost every single day without fail. And I love my mom, so I think she deserves one. Thanks. Yeah, Darren Fitzgerald, shout out to you. Also, never met a woman named Darren. No, I like it. Me neither.

have met many a man named Darren. Never met a woman named Darren. I only know two male darrens. Although the Darren kind of sounds like it could be a... I like it as a woman's name. Yeah. Just have never met a woman named Darren. Have never met a woman named Steve.

That's a very male name. I would not think to a woman named Steve. But I wouldn't have thought there was a woman named Darren. Stevie. Stevie's different though. Yeah. Yeah, if I met a girl named Darren, I'm out. No, but listen to it though.

Karen. Darren. Like sounds like a girl, isn't it? Marin. That's different. If I'm at a bar, she's like, hey, my name's Darren. I'm like, whoa. But she's like, my name's Darren.

That's what I... Or she's like, hey, my name's Darren. I don't mind Darren. I think Darren's a cool name. I just have never heard it as a woman's name. Do a man's voice, like as the best you possibly can. And I want you to say, I don't know, we'll say Steve. Hey, my name's Steve.

And I'm here to apply for a job today. Do the best man voice you can do. Go. Hey, my name's. Steve. Why are you talking like that? It's not like Bain and Batman. Okay.

No. Can you do it? A woman? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, this is Mindy. I'm here to get a job. What do you got?

I don't think I can do it. Come on, you can do it. Hey, my name is Mindy. I'm here to apply for a job. Ooh, that might be the best one. Hey. Did you hear me? Yeah, yours is not good.

You sound like a dude trying to be a girl. I don't know. Let's do one more voicemail. Go ahead. All right. I have two questions. Morning studio. Amy, what does your boyfriend think about you and your maybe love?

maybe love interest with Lunchbox and Lunchbox if you were so famous why does no one know what your real name is? Amy? He hasn't said anything

over here guys like you guys are just Nobody said anything about him. Amy. There's no threat about him at all. Why did he bring sexual tension? Because he said, like, you have hidden love for me. Like, I don't know where they get that. Yeah.

Yeah, definitely not a threat. If you took a picture of lunchbox to your boyfriend and said, like, I'm in love with him. What do you think he would say? He'd be like, okay. Well, I don't know. We could ask him. I think it would be fine. What was the next question?

She starts laughing. Hey, go for it. Lunchbox, yours is. nobody knows your last name, you're not that famous? I am super famous. I don't know what he's talking about. People know my name.

In Virginia, three first graders are being celebrated as real-life heroes because they help save their teacher's life. During a moment in the classroom, they got a little dicey. Now their teacher, Madison Swift, was working with a student.

She was eating at the same time, and she started choking because she couldn't breathe. That's when her students. Derek, Bryson, and Colton jumped in. Derek hit the classroom emergency call button and told the office what was happening. Bryson sprinted into the hallway to grab another teacher, and Colton stayed by the teacher's side giving her back blows to try to dislodge the food. They're quick thinking brought hell fast, and the teacher says it saved their life. and so she let them choose all three individually a prize from her classroom treasure box.

It's like chocolate. They all get an A. Like a slinky. Yeah, they get to go and get a box of nerds. One of those small boxes of nerds that you get it, trick or treat. WTVR with that story. When I read about the button that you push, is that the same thing as the call button that we had? It wasn't always an emergency button, but you'd go up and push it and you could talk to the office.

I don't remember having that. I don't remember that button. They didn't have that in Texas. Yep. Maybe our school had so many criminals. We had to have that. Yeah. And they wouldn't do the announcements on a speaker?

Yeah. Yeah, but the speaker was like in the office. The office had a speaker where they could hit the button and talk to all the classes. Yeah, but there was a speaker in every room, right? On the ceiling. But I don't recall ever being able to. No. Like I'm sending this person for insubordination and they would call and tell them.

No. That's often what it was. You'd call the office and tell them a kid got kicked out of class. So they would know in the next 45 seconds that kid would need to be in the office. So if he didn't show up, they have you. look for them. Yeah. Yeah, no, not at our school, I guess. We took a lot of gang members from other schools. Oh, really? Yeah, we were the school that you went to if you got kicked out of another school. Oh. That's why I'm so hard. Yeah, that's, obviously. Yeah, that's the reason.

That's why. A big shout out to these students for doing that. That's awesome. Glad she's okay. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Time for the medical minute. Listeners are asking what's happened with Scoo of Steve's tumor, what's happened with lunchboxes's stomach. So everybody's been to the doctor. With me, it's been surgery with my ankle. I've been going to foot rehab. They try to make me go to rehab.

And I say, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you want to get better. But I'm back. I got, I was wearing a boot. After I was on a scooter, now I'm just in a brace. And so by January, I'm going to have 100% ankle. Let's go. I'm going to be dunking again. Like, is that what they're telling you? You're going to be back to a hundo?

I say, can I dunk when I'm done? And they said, could you dunk before? I said, no. Then they said, no. You can. But that's what's up. Lunchbox. So start from your story at the beginning. Yeah, I had a sharp left pain to the left of my belly button probably seven months ago, middle of June. And I started going to doctors.

When I'd run, I could feel it. And after soccer games, when I'd get done playing, I couldn't move for, I mean, it was like all of a sudden I was incapable of walking. And so I started going to the doctors. And one doctor tells me, oh, it's your pelvic floor. Another doctor tells me, just Google some exercises and it'll be fine. I'm like, no, that's not it. So then I went for a CT scan.

They found nothing. So then doctor's like, yeah, I don't know what's say you. I'll send you to physical therapy. Sends me to physical therapy. And that made it 100 times worse. Belly rehab, as I'd call it. Yeah, belly rehab. And I said, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I was like, man, that's not working. So I was like, I got to stop. It got worse? It got worse. Whoa. And I told the guy doing the physical therapy, is like, well, that's not how it should be. You should feel better after you come in here.

I'm like, no, the next day I can barely walk. That wasn't soreness. You were incapable of walking, as you would say. Incapable walking. No, no, it wasn't soreness. It was like, oh my gosh, uncomfortable discomfort. Well, Amy made the uncomfortable discomfort, yes. Yes.

Amy made the point that you don't ever lift weights, though, so it could have been soreness that you just don't know about. You're not used to that. No, no, I know what soreness is, guys. Like, I run and things like that. And I know what you feel like when you're sore, this was like, oh my gosh, this is not a good pain. How have you been to so many doctors, a physical therapist, and they still don't know what it is?

I don't know. So then I go to the gastropology eye. Close? And they tell me, oh, yeah, I don't think it's your colon. But we'll give you a colonoscopy for fun. Yeah, you should have done that. And I was like, man, I don't know about that. So then I go to a sports medicine doctor and they say, hey, we don't know, but we're going to send you for an MRI.

And I go get to MRI. Oh, there's nothing wrong with you. But we're here if you need us. and so now I'm just stuck. Any chance to the phantom pain? No, no, no. Because sometimes if someone has like their leg cut off, they still feel pain in what's not there.

Yep. If it's amputated? No, it is not a phantom pain. So I have not played soccer. I have not gone running in probably two months. And I have run in the backyard with the kids. And here's the problem. Like I got to try,

I get done running now. Like if I just, I mean, I'm just talking like from the fence. the fence we race. I get a little discomfort my left testicle. A little what? Discomfort, my left testicle. Like it hurt.

And that's the same side. Yeah, same side. The left one, so it's moving. So you have uncomfort, discomfort, in your testicle and your stomach. Yeah, like it's like a, like the pain kind of radiates down into my left testicle. And it's just like, oh my gosh.

And I just, I don't know what to do. It's interesting. Like I literally have no idea. And I'm like, maybe I'm making it up. But then when I'm sitting there on the couch, I'm like, no, I'm uncomfortable. Like my left testicle is, uncomfortable.

Does ibuprofen help at all? Does it make it go away? I mean, I guess I don't know. Maybe it's, see, I take ibuprofen or advil, whatever it's called, and it's been an hour, so maybe it's just because I haven't been doing anything or maybe it's the Advil.

I don't know. You might have enlarged veins from faulty valves. So I get people online saying, oh, you probably have a pinched nerve. Well, how do I know? I went to all these doctors. Have you been to a testicle doctor? You have not. You haven't mentioned that one.

Well, isn't that what a hernia person is? A hernia doctor is... I don't know if there's... Did they examine your testicles with the hernia doctor? No. Let me see him. What? Go to Bobby.

Go to Bobby. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. But that's what I'm saying. Is one bigger than the other? Oh, a urologist. Is that who he needs to go to? Because I googled what's a testicle doctor. Oh, is that it?

I don't know. Is there a specific left urologist? For the left one. Like that specializes it only the left testicle. I know that sounds crazy guys. I even think I'm crazy when I'm at my house and I'm like, man, that left testicle feels uncomfortable.

Like, it's weird. Like, I don't, the pain kind of radiates down to the left. Yeah, you keep grabbing yourself. I'd rather you not do that anymore. Well, I'm just telling you where it hurts. Yeah. So I still don't know. Okay, so theory.

So go for it. What if the actual problem is in your, testicle and that's what's making your stomach occur and you haven't got your testicle checked. So they look at your stomach and your stomach is only hurting because of what's going wrong in your testicle. Also, can we set the record for the most times we've said the word testicle in a segment? And I laugh every time. Okay. Well, I didn't know that there was a specific doctor, a urologist. I'll look them up. I mean, I will do anything. Guy, I'm telling you, this is miserable. So is the stomach pain gone? I haven't done anything so it's not as

uncomfortable. You can try that, right? Testicle problems, free. frequently cause lower abdominal pain. Oh, gosh. As the nerves and structures are closely linked, with pain often radiating from the groin to the stomach, serious issues like testicular torsion. Oh, that's not good. That's like, they're twisted up.

So. That sounds like. Maybe it's kidney stones, too. Yeah, that's what I was saying. I'm telling you, it's not kidney stones. It could be a kidney stone. No, no. I drink so much water, it would be impossible for me to get a kidney stone.

Impossible. It's not impossible. Impossible. It's not impossible. Impossible. I don't think, I bet you hydrated people have. You get kidney stones from lack of water. No, I have kidney stones.

They're in me. They're not passing. I got a whole rock quarry of me then, boys. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't drink enough water. When I had my body scanned, they found kidney stones, but mine just haven't passed yet. And they said definitely try to drink a lot of water. I still don't drink that much water and they're still just chilling in there and they haven't passed yet.

Why move them? I hope I hope that you Well I would suggest that you go to a urologist Okay that's my next step I guess I mean testicular tors Torzion it's twisting of the text testicle A medical emergency I said did they get tangled up that's crazy

Are they tangled up would you like me to take a look No no no no no no no It's seeing a doctor promptly Yeah look guys so Bobby Doctor I am a doctor now I have a different thing but I'm more of a doctor than anybody else. I'm a literal doctor. And it can be in two seconds right now.

No, I'm not going to do it. It's Ph.D. Not an MD. But yeah, I'm okay. I'll pass on your looking at them, but I will have to find, then I guess a urologist. I just... I don't think you should rule out kidney stone. Why?

You drink so much water, it would be impossible. Impossible. Yeah. I bet there's cases where it's still happen. Very rare. How do you know this? He doesn't. So this has been lunchboxes medical members.

It's been rough. We're rooting for you. Yeah, dude. Good luck. The dark turn would be if he comes in one day and it's like... They got to get rid of them one testicle. Your kidney stone is passing to your reader. Boys, I'm losing a testicle.

The ureter got me. Dude, I don't know if I'd admit that on air. A kidney stone? No, if I had to get rid of a testicle. Why? It's just one. Yeah, one pelote. All right, scuba Steve.

Let's check in with Scoob and Steve real quick. Yeah, yeah. So you have had an issue in your body. Yes, also with my stomach. But I have results with mine. So it started back mid-November. I had food poisoning, violently vomiting. I had some abdominal pain.

And I went to get it checked out. And one place said that it was a tumor and it freaked me out. I'm like, oh, my God, I have cancer and I'm going to die. I'm done. But I thought it was a hernia because another doctor told me, no, you have a hernia. So that's why I got the test in the first place. So then I was like, well, I need to get a different test to make. sure that it isn't a tumor. And so I went to go see a specialist at Vandy who does only hernias.

She was poking in my belly and maybe do some stuff. And then she read the results and she goes, where'd you go again? I was like, you don't need to say the name of the place. So we'll bleep that out. Okay. She goes, they're inexperienced. And she basically talked down to them. And she goes, I do this for a living. It's just a hernia. So she gave me some sort of belt to wear. she said I can do surgery if I want, but I can live with this for the rest of my life. Is it weird on your body? Yeah, because it's a bump. And I for a while was nervous that if I picked up my kids who did anything, it's just going to start

spilling out. Like, all my intestines are going to fly out of my muscles. And she goes, no, I won't do that. You're fine. You can go work out and do whatever you did before. So scuba was going to do a bet. He's going to have to run a 40 in like 5-4 or something. Yeah, I got cleared for it, so I'm good.

Now he's cleared. We can run it when we come back for the new year. I don't make him do it in the cold. You know, he's so tight. But any, what do you think a lunchbox should do about his? I think, well, we're talking about him not drinking. He drinks a lot of water, but we've been to Vegas a lot. And I've never seen him drink water when we're there for days on end.

So you could have easily got a kidney stone one of those trips. In two days, you don't get a kidney stone, guys. That's months and months of preparation. I'm not drinking water. You drink a lot of alcohol in those two days. You're right. To be fair, it is the soda in the vodka, though. Exactly, yeah.

And no water whatsoever. But it also could be his balls or whatever we want to call them. Well, testicles. Testicles. Sorry, yes. Okay. that's been the medical minute. Scoba, glad on yours.

I'm bouncing back. Lunchbox to be continued. Yeah, purgatory. You're in a bit of that right now. It sucks. Yes. This woman takes a tape measure on dates to see how tall guys really are.

Oh, wow. Because she says they lie. I actually have a measuring tape measure. Like, wouldn't it be funny if, like, I pull up to the coffee shop. And I, like, tape measure, just to make sure he's actually 6'1. But I don't think he would say,

anything about the height comment? So the whole thing is, guys lie all the time on social media about how tall they are or on dating apps, about how tall they are. So what if you are on a date, guys, and a girl brings a tape measure to measure your height? Go ahead, measure it. Six foot.

That's what I said, I am. I am six foot. You're six foot? Yeah. Eddie six foot. Okay. Yeah. So lunchbox, I'm out. Like, what are you doing?

Like, who are you? Like, you don't lie about any, like, Am I going to start measuring your cup size? Like, you know what I mean? Do you put that in... That fluctuates. Yeah, but do you put that in the bio of your dating app? No.

But if you put a picture up there and it's like, whoa, look at these. Because she's wearing a really padded brawl and she shows up on the... Okay. And you're like, hmm, those are as big in the picture. Let me call out my tape measure. Or he's like, do you have Spanx on? Yeah, like, I'm out of here. Like, bye, or she says, you know, 5 foot 135.

You know what I mean? And you show them, you're like, let's get that scale out. Now scale would be different. Oh, man. Oh, no. Well, why? It's okay to measure height, but not as weight. The difference would be in dating profiles, they list how tall they are.

Yes. Is that a thing? Yes. Yes. You don't have to, but yes, most every guy does. It's helpful. Yeah. Because in most situations, the girl would like for her partner to be taller than her, even if it's just by an inch.

Well, then if that is the logic, and I understand why that would be helpful, then for guys, should the women, their weight. No. You can see in a picture. You can see in a picture how tall somebody is. No. You can manipulate that. I don't know.

Is there anything women put on their profiles like that? Height. Yeah. Do they put high? A height doesn't matter though to women. High. Like it matters to women what the guy is, but guys don't care about the height of a woman. Correct.

Some guys won't date girls if they're like over five, seven. Only if they're like five, five. Yeah. So it does, it matters for some, but not quite as much for. Sounds high maintenance. This chick sounds high maintenance and annoying. Like she'd be, I pull it. Not funny at all.

That's how funny. But what if she's hot? Isn't that always, because we had a girl on last week. It was like, my husband doesn't do this and you were on fire about it. And then you saw her video and then you're like, never mind, she's hot. Can you show me your video? Let me find her. Her name is B-Y-A-L-A-L-A-D-A-W-N.

Like, by Alicia Dawn. A-L-I-C-I-A-D-A-W-N. My guess is he's going to think she's pretty hot. Okay, so Lunchbox, we're going to pull up a video of her. Up on this screen in front of you here, you'll see by Alicia Don and tell me if you think she is hot enough for you to break your rules here. Like lunchbox is like, oh, I'd be out, but I bet he would see her to be like, measure me. That sounds weird. That does sound weird.

She's into some weird stuff. That sounds weird anyway. Do you see her on your computer? Yeah, she ain't worth it. You don't think so? No. There she is right there. That is not her.

Yeah, that is her. That's a different girl than I'm seeing. You're looking at a different girl. I went to the wrong page. Yeah, I would trust the one Mike has on the screen. This is her. Okay. Let me see something else you got.

Okay, we'll click into her profile here. Yeah. Stop talking like that. Okay, she's so pretty. You know what? Measure me. No, no. Measure me, girl.

Like, come on. You girl from Oklahoma. So dumb. No, no. She can measure. Measure me, just girly things. But measure, like, whatever you're caught in the lie, though. Whatever, man.

So she's hot enough that... She can measure. Okay. It's all about how hot she is. Yeah, I mean, look at her. I mean, she's got some... I like the shirt she wears. And she wears the same shirt like almost in every picture or video. Well, a lot of the, I think she shoots a lot of the videos at the same time. Okay.

She's way less annoying now. Leave me out of it. Wait, Eddie, would you let her measure? Leave me out of this. Would you let her measure? No. Heck yeah. You want to measure the inseam, too?

Hey, Amy, it just shows you. I know. That guys? Yep, everything's annoying. However, if it's met by how pretty someone is, you'll take more crap depending on how pretty she is. So, all right, well, there we have it. Yeah, as long as she's over 18, she can measure.

Oh. That sounded really weird, dude. I just shouldn't say that. I feel like Curtis Hansen's like one step away from busting in here. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me.

I don't want to talk to him. Just to talk about what he thinks of teachers, he hasn't got a clue. Do you guys remember during COVID when parents were in complete panic because they actually had to teach their own kids? That's all forgotten now. As far as summers off, most teachers work during the summer at a different job because our pay was so low. So, and if you were going to hand out worksheet and show a movie every day, lunchbox, you would be fired in the first couple of days. You don't have a clue.

Kids don't respect teachers. Parents don't respect teachers. I worked for 35 years and I can't tell you the number of times that I got hit or spit on and the names that I was called. And parents just think we were glorified babysitting service. I'm sorry. I just had to vent. Yeah, I'm glad you did.

Please stay on for a second. So lunchbox has come on many times, especially recently. and it's like, man, being a teacher would be the best job and so easy because you get this month off, that month off, summer's off. You get, like what are the things? Oh, they get spring break, Christmas break, a month off at Christmas. They get all these fall break. They have a lot of vacation days. And I mean, I know you say parents were freaking out during COVID.

Yeah, because they had a job. Plus, they were trying to teach their kids. So doing two jobs was a little more difficult. So, yeah, I understand that. So, and you say you don't do worksheets? I mean, that's all we did in school. Like, you finish one worksheet, do another worksheet. And I'm sorry that you got spit on.

I don't know what kind of school you're working at, but, man, maybe that was on you. Maybe you should have changed schools. Oh, it's her fault. You said that's on you, so you think it's her fault. If you're getting spit on a bunch of times, don't you think you should maybe look at a different school? Holly, your rebuttal. Oh, my God. Now, lunchbox, if you would take the time to look up and see the statistics on how many teachers are injured while working, you would be amazed.

Also, you know, teachers are required to have a master's degree. Something you didn't quite get true. Not true. What's not true? Teachers don't have to have a master's degree. That's absolutely false. That's absolutely false. No, this is how much you don't know about.

what is required of teachers. You don't have a clue. I promise my brother-in-law is a teacher. He does not have a master's degree. He has a bachelor's degree. He doesn't have a master's degree. In many states, it's required. So there's another thing that teachers have to do

is often work on their master's getting their master's degree while they're still teaching and during summers. I don't know of anybody that gets a month off during December. nobody. So you just keep making stuff up. And I just needed to call. A lot of states. So you mean Connecticut, Maryland, New York. That's a lot. Well, she's from New York. That's 47 states that don't require it. So in school, I don't know if you were what kind of teacher you were, but a lot means more than three.

Oh, dang, you hit her with that line or no. Yeah. But, okay, to be fair, she is from New York. So that was her story and her version. Okay. So Holly, lunchbox is not going to change. Lunchbox does she change your mind at all. You still think teaching's easy? Teaching is a pretty easy job. Laid back. I mean, they go to happy hour. I mean, they're done by three o'clock. Now you're assigning their after school activities. Yeah, that's made up. No, I've got friends that are teachers and they're the ones that go to

happy hour the most. Yeah, those are your friends. That tracks. Yeah. So, I don't think we got anywhere. And I'm glad she called in and talked to me. She said she, I'd be like she didn't want to talk to me, but she really wanted to have a conversation. By the way, I don't agree with lunchbox on this. but I will provide the forum for somebody who is a teacher to talk with and against him. But I do not agree with lunchbox. I do not think it is a, I think it's a very thankless job. It's a very important and thankless job where good teachers have to work a lot.

They don't get paid enough. And it's also why there aren't a lot of great teachers because they don't get paid enough. And like the people that would go and teach if there was a bit more money in it and would be great teachers, they don't even hop into that profession. So you got great teachers not making enough and then going, I don't know if if I want to do this or checking out, like he says. Yeah, they check out for sure. I had a lot of teachers checked out.

Promise you that. Systematic failure is what I say. Holly, anything else you want to add? If I had to do it all over again, I was asked this once, you know, to go back to when you're like 19, 18, I would never, ever have become a teacher. And I just want to say, Bobby, I absolutely let you make my mornings. I lost my husband a few years ago. and you have just been you and everybody else there, including lunchbox.

And I just want to say good morning studio. Morning. All right, Holly. Hope you have a great holiday. Thank you for calling. Thank you. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie.

This story comes us from New Hampshire Kinky Kelly is a girl on TikTok And she liked to go to supermarkets And use the bathroom on food And leave it on the shelf And she got busted Because she'd put it on TikTok She's headed to prison for six months

Whoa Like what kind of food? Like produce? Doesn't matter, dude But her name's Kinky Kelly That's true You know she's up to no good with that name. I don't understand.

That's also something that if you do, it needs to be like a personal kink. Because as soon as you put it on anything public, you're going to go to jail. Like you can't mess with people's food. Yeah. Yeah, it's like why not get produce and then do it at home? Or don't do it.

Yeah, yeah. First of all, I want to say don't do it at all. But I would like to say that if it's your thing, you can't record it. You can't put it out there. Yeah. Because that entertainer doesn't live long. So, rest of peace, Kinky Kelly. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day.

I had a dog named Dusty that I had for 12, 13 years. And I was talking with Dr. Josie, who's my vet. She has a podcast called In the Vets Office. We were talking about like how hard it is when you have to put your animal down. And she's a vet who has to do this a lot. So I want to play you this because there's a lot of good that can come from it. When I moved to Austin, Texas, and I was living there, I didn't, I moved there. I didn't know anybody. You ever moved anywhere by yourself without knowing anybody? Nashville. So I moved to Austin and

knew nobody, moved down there by myself. There was a new story about a puppy mill being rated and all these dogs were at the puppy mill. I was one got one of them. There was no, they just gave me a dog. There was no paper. I just drove up and they were like, you can have one. It was crazy looking back. I did. So I took probably too young to take, but there was no other option. because it was a puppy mill. He was going up the shelter or the rescue or whatever. So I had Dusty for. Dusty.

That was his name. For like 13 or 14 years. It wrecked me. No, there's no other loss like it. It wrecked me. Yeah. I, when we were touring, because I was doing a lot of touring with raging idiots, my comedy band, and I was just starting to do some stand-up.

And so I then had to have a bus because mostly it was pretty equal. We just all had bunks and we could foot more people in. But I was like, I have to have a big bunk, big room. the back because I got to take my dog because he's dying. And so we drove around. I dedicated my last book to him, not the dog book, but my fail until you don't. And on the front page, it says too dusty, the best dog da-da-da. You'll never know this. Mostly because dogs can't read. But I had to go after, oh, it was my complete adult growth dog. Oh, yeah. Like as I grew as an adult, that's my association with him. He was with me the whole time. That's best buddy. Yeah.

And I had to go and do that and put him down. That's awful. awful. I would venture to say most people that are listening to this that have animals can think of that one dog or cat that they had in their 20s or 30s, like when they were really going from childhood into being an adult. And those animals, like, they help shape who you are. I know it sounds crazy if you don't have a... My for sure adult dog. Like growing as an adult was with me the whole time. Yes. Through heartbreak and breakups and... Before we went in when I put him down, we listened to Jack White, I believe that we... We are going to be friends.

I still remember it so vividly. It sucked. But this is why I took from that. It's awful. It's awful. But what I took from that and what I would tell other friends who had to put their animals down was I'm so grateful that I was so sad because had I not been so sad, none of that would have mattered for 12 or 13 years. I had a great 12, 13 years with that dog. Exactly.

And had I not, I would not have been as sad. Exactly. It was a bowling ball to the gut. I was a wreck for months. It makes me sad thinking about it now, but I am so happy I get to be that sad because that animal brought me such... Fulfilled your life.
