Yeah. But I don't, the thing about overrated list is that most things are overrated are still pretty good. You know what I'm saying? That's why they're rated high.

Right, but you know, they're like, there's such an overrated movie. But that doesn't mean it's a bad movie. Right. It could have been overrated. Like, they say it's the best movie ever, but then it's just one of the best movies ever.

Here you go. Video game industry, teacher, voice actor, flight attendant, political staff, veterinary, and radio announcer, attorney, chef,

ballet dancer. Those are, I mean, radio announcer kind of sucks. Not for us. For most of my career, getting to this point is tough because

you know I've been doing this now at a decent level for a while but the first 15 years of this thing I was broke as a joke it's not near as glamorous but I bet things like a ballet dancer too where you just see them on stage but not seeing that 15 hours a day they're working dancing and stuff I feel like that would be amazing a voice actor

how is that going weren't you pursuing something? I was yeah I mean I got a little demo reel and everything and I mean no nothing really stuck yet. Lunchbox has tried this too. I think just because you're on the radio, that doesn't mean you get to be a voice announcer.

But I have a good voice. I have a very distinct voice that people like... I mean, Ellen, when you listen to Ellen, she has a very distinct voice. That's why she's like the fish in finding Nemo. No, no, no, I don't think it has anything to do with her voice. I think that's to do with her being extremely famous and you know her voice only because she's famous.

I don't think she has a distinct voice. If you didn't... If I didn't know it was Ellen the famous person and you didn't know her from being famous, I don't think her voice was distinct. Oh, well... I feel like all... all famous people. We kind of know their voices. Because they're famous.

Okay, like the guy on the Allstate commercials, I don't know his name, but you know his, you're in good hands. That guy has a good, deep voice. Yeah. And that's how I think I sound. Well, you don't sound like him. I know, but I have a good, deep voice, very manly, very masculine, and people know my deep voice. So why do you think you haven't gotten a job yet? Right. I don't know. That's a good question. Maybe I, maybe I need. need to get an agent or something. I mean, that would help. Yeah.

Right? Like, because they could find jobs for you. Yeah. Let's get for lunch bucks that's investing in an agent. Well, you don't have to pay an agent unless they make you money. True. And then they get a cut. So how does that meeting go with the agent? An agent has to want to take you. Right. So does he do the voices in front of the agent, like at lunch or something? How does that work? I have no idea.

Because the angel's going to have to hear something and be like, I like it. I can sell this. I mean, they just hear my voice and say, I can sell it. I mean, my voice is sellable. Well, then I'm shocked An agent just hasn't reached out to you. I am too. I know agents listen to the show. I don't know why they haven't reached out to you. They do.

Man, I don't know. Maybe it's going on my junk email. Well, tell yourself right now. Let me check my spam folder. Hold on. Do that Miss Piggy one. That kind of sound like you're crying. Miss Piggy.

I've never done Miss Piggy. I don't know what Miss Piggy sounds like. Just hit him with Nico Moon and collector check. That's what I say. It's called Nico Jackson. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Nico Moon.

I think he's named after me. His mom really liked. me when I was younger and she named him Nico after Nico Jackson. Eddie thinks he heard some gang activity on PlayStation. I don't think I heard dude. I heard it 100%. What did you hear?

So these guys, like one guy just had his microphone on and I, he wasn't talking to anyone. He was actually like singing songs during the whole thing but in the background I heard conversations going on. Seriously. There's one guy sounded really upset and really mad and everything and then he was talking to another dude and the other guy was saying like no man we got them man we got them good and then finally

the guy that had the headset on that was playing the game goes it was a rough night man it was a rough night and then like well what did you do and then he said something around like check out the car look at all the bullet holes man i got shot at a lot and then you're screwing with you guys there was bones it was a real conversation happened and then another guy goes man that dude must had a hundred guns in that truck and it was crazy and so I'm all here I'm not even not even paying attention

to the game and I'm picturing like FBI sting this is what they hear when they've got an informant in there and he's got a you know microphone I was hearing all sorts of stuff gang activities they had a crazy fight the night before I think again I think they're messing with you knowing people

are listening so they're doing a little production they were not laughing this was a serious random people yes I would compare this to when lunchbox was a kid they do fake fights Lunchbox tell Eddie about fake fights. So fake fights was we would get bandanas like everybody would have blue ones and one person would have a red one. And we'd get in the middle of the road. And when a car was coming, we'd fake jump someone.

Like we're beating them up and jump them. And then when the car would get about 15, 20 feet away, we'd all scatter and leave the one person with the opposite color bandana laying in the street. And people would call the cops because of gang activity. I think you heard basically that. No, no man. I'm sticking to my guns. No pun intended. Hey, Eddie, then why didn't you ask him?

Why don't even be like, yo, can I get in on that? No. I turned my mic off. I just was listening to the whole thing. I was really scared that they were going to realize the mic was on and be like, well, who's listening right now? Find these people. Kill them. I think they were messing with them.

No, they were not. I think they were doing a little production. I'm telling, it reminded me. Could they be like talking about a different game? No. No, no, no. Guns in the trunk? No, dude.

Yeah, there's a lot of games with guns. The way they were talking, It sounded like I was hearing something I wasn't supposed to be hearing. And the guy's screen name had something to do with a weird little code. Also, let's take a second. Let's take a second. Think about back in lunchboxes' day. Do we think in the nice suburbs of Austin, Texas, there was a lot of Crips and Bloods being the crap out of each other? No, but they were in my high school.

Who? Lunchbox in his game? No. Crips and Bloods. Poser Crips and Bloods. I don't know about that. Nope. They hung out.

We had first floor, second floor, third floor, third floor. First floor was where we didn't hang out down there. Gang activity. I promise you, I know. It sounds weird, but my school was very diverse. Yeah, there was gangs in our school. Yeah, Austin High. I think there were gangs, but you think Crips and Bloods?

Yes. There was a guy that moved down to the valley. Listen, Little Rock, where I'm from, is like behind Los Angeles, and per capita has more gangs than anywhere else. HBO did a whole 10 years special. They did bang it in a Little Rock. They came back and did bang it again in Little Rock. And, like, there were Crips and Bull Rock. Bloods then, but it's still, because it wasn't so

L.A. based, there weren't a lot of Cripsom Blood. There were all these different gangs. Like, Crimps and Bloods were so L.A. based that if, I'm not saying there weren't gangs. They had a branch. Yeah, maybe they had tributaries. And that what they're called. They had, uh...

And then people move. I'm not even saying, you're wrong. I'm not even saying you're wrong. Yeah, they have probably representatives in every city. But don't you think the gangs would be more Mexico, like, cartel-type gangs? We had those two. This guy, Saul, he was

crazy, man. He said he was part of the Mexican gang and we believed him. We didn't question him once. And then there was another guy named PQ who moved from L.A. He said he was a blood and we believed him. Also, anybody I ever knew, or I wasn't close with him, was actually in a gang, never talked about being in a gang. Oh, I'm not saying it was talked about. It was just like known

that that was, and they hung out in their own little sections and then sometimes fights would break out. I mean... You had a band in on the right side, dude. Yeah. That's the blood side. They would wear their specific colors. It's true. We did when we did the Fed Friday.

I just see where you guys come from. It didn't seem like a lot of real gangs there. Both of you. All right. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying I'm seeing where you guys come from. Are you kidding? Also,

you went to Austin High. I know I went to Austin High. I'm telling you. Austin High was very diverse. It fed in from all different parts of the city. And in sixth grade, I went to Fullmore on South Pondon. Yes. No, I'm not saying there weren't, there wasn't any sort of light surface gang activity there.

Yes, there was. I'm saying when I was in junior high at Fullmore, there was heavy gang activity. In second grade, the popsicle stick gang, you didn't mess with them. They would shave off the top poppice to shank somebody. If you ate the wrong glue, popsicle stick gang, they'd come for you. Okay. Let's see. It's true.

I'm not saying it's not. Just feels. And the guy I heard on PS4 dude was a... Oh, yeah, that's what I can about. Let's see. What's the worst habit you'll admit to around the room? What's the worst habit that you notice about somebody? I bought my fingernails, right?

That's a bad one for me. Yeah. You? Mine, well, I know what y'all would say about me as I swallow way too loud. Extremely. It's like so annoying. See, I get that it's, I can swallow quietly, but I have to. I always think it's somebody in a gang coming at you and you're like, oh.

I have to work on it. Like one of the old gang bangers from back in it. So I guess it's not a habit because I can't really control it. But I know it annoys a lot of people. Well, if you didn't sit close to a microphone for your job, I don't think it would be as. But even like at the table at home, like I drink, I take a sip of water and I swallow and everyone looks at me like, why are you doing that? And I'm like, it's not my fault. But I guess maybe I can train my.

It's too late to train stuff. Okay. Yeah, you're 40 now. Eddie? I have bad allergies so my boogers dry up and I always have to go to get them out. Oh, and you just did it just now. I know it's really gross, but sometimes that's the only way I can get that out. It traveled over here.

No, it didn't come out. Lunchbox. man I don't know that I have any bad habits Eating your toenails That's healthy That's snacking So I mean yeah If you consider eating my toenails a bad habit

Then yeah that's probably it Mike had asked me this question Back to Eddie's thing about being on PS4 The gangs yeah He said Would you rather have your future kids Or your kids get old enough Said they want to be a professional gamer

Or a pro football player Oh I guess a gamer No safer Yeah football well Yeah He had a better shot of actually doing it. Right. Yeah, professional.

And I played high school football. I played everything just about. And I would go professional gamer as well. If they want, if they're like dead set on being pro. To be a pro athlete, you not only have to put in the work, you have to genetically be extremely gifted. You can work harder than everybody else and still really not have it because you don't have the athleticism. Yeah. The height, that whatever it is that you need.

I'm just banking on Caitlin and her family's athleticism because they are all. just premier athletes, including Caitlin, where I was not the best athlete, but I worked really hard, and I was okay as an athlete. And you had the heart. And I, but I, I trained, and my skills became better

because I worked at them. My athleticism was fine. And you were very competitive. Oh, still, you are very competitive. So that's, that's big, too. I got competitive with you telling me that I'm not very, just now,

you saw it in real action. I saw it in your eyes. I was like, I don't know, I'm more than that. But gamer or pro football player, go. Gamer. I want to say gamer, but man, it would drive me nuts to see my son just sit in the chair for hours at a time playing. It's like, I promise, I'm going to be a good gamer.

That to me is like, you're wasting so much time. If I saw him in the football field and the gym training and all that, that would seem better to me. Can we pick the position? Well, there is. Kicker. There is something to say about me and learning how to be a part of a team, learning how to be a leader. Yes. Learning how to be a follower, learning how to take coaching.

I mean, a lot of that happened for me as I developed in sports, especially playing football. But again, I would rather them try to be a pro basketball player. That wasn't a choice. I know, right, right, right. It's not a choice. I was asking footballer game. Golfer, be cool. Yeah.

Yeah. Lunchbox. Oh, it's easy. After hearing the gang activity going on with video games, it's definitely a pro football player. That changes mine. I mean, just gamers are just, they're the, they're the, I feel like they're weird. And what are you? I just wonder. Like, you think they're weird. I'm cool, dude. Like, everybody looks at me and is like, that's a cool guy. Like, legit.

Like, everybody wants to be my friend. Like, I'm social. And I don't feel like gamers are very social. So I want my kid to be football because the social stigma that comes with being a gamer and not having many friends and not going out in public and just, sitting in a chair all day like Eddie said. It just seems like that's a terrible thing to do. Do you think people now look at you lunchbox and go, man, that is a cool guy? Yeah.

Like they still look at- Because I don't feel like people think that about me. I don't think people look at me as a cool guy. Well, I don't think they ever have. Like, nothing's changed. Like, I think you were always kind of the nerdy guy. Like, they never look like, oh, that's a cool dude. They're kind of like, oh, that's kind of a geeky dude.

And you still kind of look like a geeky dude. Do you think people see you and go, man, that guy's hip? Like he knows what's up. He's in on the train. Friends. And on the trends. They're like, even if they see me with my kid, they're like, that's a cool dad. That's a dad that is still with it in life.

Like, you know, there's dads that have given up and looked terrible. And then there's the cool dads that are still like, all right, with in society, that's what they see me as. Good to know. Yeah. There are some dads out there, man, that just gave up. Like, I don't understand that. I know being a dad's tiring, but, man, some dads are just like, you look 70, dude. and I know you're younger than me.

You know you can rent out your own car? Oh, yes. Lunchbox has done this. Yeah, I've done it on Toro. Yeah. Amy's one telling me about it because you run it out your husband's stuff or something? Yeah, no, he had to run a car.

He was going somewhere and no rental cars were available, which is an issue, I think, like across the country right now because so many people are traveling. So he researched and found that he could rent someone's car through, yeah, a tour. And he did it. Like he rented some. And it was like a nice car.

And he got it for cheaper than he would have through like a rental company and returned it to her and used it for like two days and said it was a great experience. He would totally do it again. You rented your car out, lunchbox? No, I never rented my car out, but I've gone. I've rented people's cars like when I go places. Oh, got it. Yeah, they'll pick you up at the airport or they'll just wherever you're staying. They'll drive you the car and they'll drop you off the keys.

It's like Uber, but you get their car. It's like Uber, but they trap you in a hotel and kill you. It's awesome. So like whatever part of the city, wherever you're going to be, like say you're staying in, you know, downtown Orlando, you can say, I'm going to stay at this hotel and they're like, all right, we'll meet you there at 5 o'clock, and they show up with the keys and here you go,

and then they leave, and then they come back before you're leaving and they pick it up from you. Man, I'd be weird because I know when I get in a rental car, I don't really care that much about it as much, as much. I'm not super disrespectful. Sometimes I try stuff. Like what? The speed-wise?

Well, no, no, it's like if you take the pedal and you go straight to the floor, You know, because it won't go, it's not going to go 100 miles an hour immediately. Like, what does that do to the car? Hey, after you watched Fast and Furious, did you try any of those tricks? No, no, after I watched Fast and Furious, I wanted to put my eyeballs out because I thought that was the worst movie I'd ever seen. It's not the worst. The only trick I wanted to do is, like, how do I stop seeing?

Or do I ever want to watch another movie again? It was not that bad. It was the worst movie I've ever seen. Oh, come on. It was. That's pretty bad. No, it wasn't. I like them.

You're going to fight for Fast and Furious? I'm not fighting for it, but I'm not going to let you say it's the worst movie ever made. Except for Moonlight Sonata, whatever lunchbox name we watch? Box of Moonlight. Yeah. This is up there. Okay. I don't know.

I like all of them. You can't take it too seriously. And I think even the actors, they even wrote it into the script. Like, they were like, it's kind of ridiculous. Like, there was multiple times where they referenced how ridiculous it was. That one point where Ludacris looks at the screen and goes, sorry, this is a stupid A movie. I was like, I felt that ludicrous. And he went back to.

He should have done that. Yeah, yeah. He called a timeout. He goes, time out. We are done. I hope you enjoyed today. is post show. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye everybody. All right. If you have ever dealt with a traditional home security company,
