The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan, Part one.
Behind a scene with a member of the show, What's up, everybody, Welcome to the weekend Lunchbox joins me.
How are you lunch Oh man, I'm excited. We got baseball and soccer games today, so we just got to get this in and out so we can get out there. You know what I mean, take the field, play.
Ball, because you're in on a Saturday, right in.
On a Saturday. Man, it just feels good to finally, yeah, get that stuff off.
Okay, well, we are going to talk about your kids and some fun stuff, so let's just get into it. How are you feeling after.
This week's punishment of wearing a syphilist tea shirt, a ball cap, and also trucknuts.
I had a necklace that had a image on it that was very weird and it was so annoying because Mike d bought a necklace. It was way too small, so it was really choking my neck.
He gave you a choker. I mean, I think that was on purpose.
I don't think it was. I think he just didn't know. And that was a lot. Those were a lot heavier than you realized.
Yeah, they're not rubber.
No, they're not rubber, and like when you walk, they were kind of banging me in the chest.
Uh.
That kind of was annoying. The hat and the shirt were really annoying because I always had to remember to, oh, man, I don't know what am I going to wear a day. That was great because I didn't have to pick out an outfit, and sometimes i'd forget I was wearing it and people would just kind of be looking at you and snickering.
Would they ask you about it in the wild, Well.
Some people, but some people you could just see them like.
You feel like kind of back in high school, or you get made fun of.
No, I didn't get made fun of in high school, So I don't know.
Do you imagine what that's like? Was that like kind of what.
I didn't get made fun of?
How'd your wife feel when you guys were out in public? Was she like, I'm not with this guy.
She didn't want to go. We didn't really go. She we didn't go to any places together, let's put it that way. She's like, no, no, we don't need we won't go to dinner today.
She's like next week maybe next week.
Will maybe do something like no, no, no, you're gonna wear that. No, I'll just go by myself.
What about the kids?
They don't know what it means. They don't care.
Yeah, but did that at any point? Like look at you and be like, why what are you wearing? Dad?
No? Okay, they don't have any idea. I mean, yeah, they they're six, five and three. They don't have any idea what it means. They can't read it. They can't read that.
Big of a word reading yet.
No, I ag read. But you think he can read symphilist. I mean, but he could ask me and then but it's cursive.
Oh yeah, I guess they're not. Yeah, they're not learning cursive. Yeah, so that's true.
Dang, I'm actually shocked that they did it, Like even just the colors, like why are you wearing that matching?
You know what I mean?
They don't care about what I'm wearing. Why are you wearing a matching shirt? They have no idea, They didn't care one bit. They just thought I got a new shirt. That was it.
Okay, Well, I'm glad your punishment is over for your sake. Yeah, yeah, glad it's over to where you're like, no, I could do that again.
Well, I mean I could do it again. I mean, it's not like it was painful. It wasn't like I had a needle in my eye.
No, But did you have any shame at any point in time for what?
I don't. I'm not out there spreading syphilis around the world, like, I'm not infecting people on purpose. So I didn't feel bad at all. Whatever, it was cool. I didn't wash the shirt once, so.
Yeah, I'm not surprised. You don't wash your hoodies either.
Yeah. I mean so I was sweating in it, and I just hang it up like kind of lay it on, you know, the back of a chair, and let it dry and then put it back on.
Yeah, even when you bike ride to work.
Even when I bike ride to work, even when I went to the driving range, even when you know, anywhere I went whatever.
I was wondering what that smell was in our studio.
Oh that was probably you. But okay, but see, you can't smell, so I know you can't. You can't even say that. See, your jokes don't even work because you're you have Hey, it' took.
Your second to remember that though I have COVID, have COVID, but I did got COVID knows I did have COVID and that's why the are dead in my nose. Yes, thank you for running me.
Yeah, that's good. That's a good thing.
Man.
I'm gonna tell you what. But yeah, uh, and this hat, I mean that hat was disannoying.
I mean, I'm ready, Are you not a hat guy? No?
I only wear a hat when I play golf, that's it.
I don't think I've ever seen you wear a hat ever.
Yeah, it's weird. I have so many hats because people, you know, we get a lot of free hats. Yeah, and I never wear them. I used to wear a hat. I don't know.
Is it just not like your vibe. You don't think of it, you don't need it. I mean you have a full like set of hair.
So that I wore a hat, and like every day in high school. That was cool because you'd wear a hat in school. I mean that was really maybe the coolest thing, like when you went from middle school to high school. It was supposed to be off campus lunch. Yeah, but the year I came in my freshman year of high school, they changed it to only seniors could leave campus. So all of eighth grade we'd been talking about. Man, we're gonna be able to leave campus re lunch. We're gonna be able to leave campus relunch. Oh, dude's gonna be so awesome. Dude, We're gonna go to Walley's Burger and shake. We're gonna go to Gaddi Town and get the Gaddy Pizza buffet. Show up freshman year. Sorry, we've changed the rules to you can't leave the campus unless you're a senior. Boo, Okay, that stinks. Yeah, cool, cool. But you could wear a hat at school, and let me tell you, you want to talk about feeling like freedom to wear a hat, To wear a hat in school when you're that age, it was like the coolest thing in the world.
Now, I'm thinking if we were able to wear hats, I don't think we were able to in a school.
We wore hats all the time. I wore hat every day. Now, there were some teachers that when you were in the class, no hats in my classroom. So you'd have to take your hat off and you'd have crazy hair or whatever. But man, it was so work that.
You could sleep easier and they wouldn't notice. Like you can kind of move it down like above, your eyes. I always wonder that why some teachers didn't allow because here's why.
Teachers want to try to act like they have power. They want to act, Oh, you can't do that, you're gonna be respectful in my class. Or some teachers are just idiots.
Okay, it's kind of like Ben Stiller from Dodgeball there for a second.
Oh hey, Global Jim, you ready, we're going to smash you. That's a good movie. Yeah. Some teachers just they try to assert their dominance like they are some unbelievable, amazing person. They have so much power. It's really annoying. I'll tell you what. The teachers you said, annoy the crap out of me.
I can tell the way you just went off on them and their their power that they evenly have.
Over the It's amazing how they think they have so much spark, like just be cool. Just like we had a police officer, right, yeah, and we called him Nacho okay, and that may have been his name. I'm not sure, but that was his name to me and I wore a sho that they deemed inappropriate one time to school. Yeah. Right, and he is like talking to me and he's standing. I'm sitting down. He's yelling at me like and he's just like in my face. I'm like, this is a T shirt. Man, I didn't bring you know, six pounds a wee to school, Like what are we doing? It's just like so dumb, Like.
What was the T shirt? Do you remember? Well?
The one time I had a T shirt? It said I know Jack s c h I T t oh okay on the front and on the back it had a whole story about how Jack s h I T T married p I a piece of s c h I T T.
They had appropriate shirt.
They had kids named knee deep in uh you know, and you wore.
That to school thinking you were gonna get away with that. I wore it for like the whole year and you were able to wear it.
Yeah. I mean it doesn't say the word. It says s c h I T T. And my grandma bought it for me because it was very colorful.
I really appreciate Lunchbucks.
How the generations in your family have just passed things down the way I hear you talk about things, how you're like, well, my parents.
Did it, so I'm doing it. And now I'm hearing like your your grandma bought you this, and this is why you bought, like, or you sent your kid to school with the Jack Dangos backpack. Like, no, I'm seeing the generational thing here.
The Jack Daniels backpack is funny. The shirt. I picked out the shirt when we went back to school shopping, you right, Yeah, we went to back school shopping and I picked it out and grandma bought it. Yeah, And that's when I got in trouble is. It was like the second semester and I'm eating lunch in the cafeteria because there's no app off campus lunch and I get a tap on my shoulder and it's the like assistant principale. He's like, come over and see me at the table when you get done eating. I'm like, all right, cool whatever, I don't know. So I'm sitting there eating it's like ten minutes learning. He comes up and he goes, are you done eating? And I might know and he goes, you are now, and I'm like, huh, okay, whatever. So he makes me throw my lunch away and he says, do you know why what we need to talk about. I'm like, no, I've got no clue. Man. He goes, your shirt it's very inappropriate for school. So we're gonna go down to the office and we're gonna call your mom or dad. And he's like, what's your dad's work number? I said, my dad doesn't have a work number. Okay, what's your mom's work number? I don't know. She just started a new job two days ago. Because this is on a Wednesday. And he goes, well, by the time we get down to the office, you're gonna know your mom or dad's work number or else. Okay, man, Like all of a sudden, she's gonna magically appear in my brain. Like and because you threatened me or else? All right, cool man. So we get down to the office. He's like, all right, what's your mom's work number? Like I said, Man, she started a new job on Monday, don't know it. Okay, what's your dad's work number? He doesn't have a work number. What does your dad do? He repairs and remodels houses. So you're gonna sit here and tell me that your dad is in construction and he doesn't have a work phone number. That's what I'm telling you. And he goes, what's your home phone number? Not give him the phone number, and he calls and he reads the shirt to the answering machine, like he reads it on the answering machine, and it's like, we have decided to let him remain in school today. And it's like you decided to let me remain in school.
Like you're in a very impressionable moment on you that you remember all of these details about this shirt.
Well, it's here's the thing, these teachers. That's what I mean. He tries to threaten you, like you will know your parents' phone number, work phone numbers by the time we get to the officit. Bro, do you do you think I'm scared to tell you my parents' number? Dude? You think my parents given s H I T T about this? This is absolutely stupid. This is the stupid what we're worried.
About T shirt. That kid? You were that kid? What kid the kid that just like always always like got under the skin. You were always the kid that just like did something just a little bit off but not completely enough so they could get you in trouble. You were that kid?
Well yes, I but also it's like this dude thinks I'm scared of being in trouble, That's what I mean. Like, I don't think it's like he is iding like this.
So you say you wore the shirt the whole rest.
Of the year, you know, no, this was this was already the second specially, I've worn it all year. This was just the first time someone said anything.
Got it? Okay?
And so he goes, what we're gonna He goes, I'm gonna need you to go to your locker and get a different shirt. I'm like, I don't have another shirt, and he goes, after thinking about it, you'll be able to remain in school, but I need you to turn your shirt inside out. Okay? Man, fine by me, Thank you so much for letting me remain to him.
Or were you actually a little bit scared when you were like.
This is this is what I'm saying.
Like, are you telling me you never got scared going to the principles?
What am I gonna be? What am I scared of? I'm wearing a T shirt that he thinks is inappropriate? Oh my gosh, Heaven forbid, don't worry about the guy with three knives, you know, in the locker next to me. But this guy's wearing a T shirt. Oh man, wearing bring out the SWAT team? Like, what are we doing. Why aren't we wasting our time?
You never had this level of embarrassment is embarrassing and felt embarrassed. It was always embarrassing to get called to like the principal's office or like you were in there, and then you'd come back to the classroom everybody'd be like, what did you get in trouble for? And half the time, like I would get in trouble for my shorts because they'd have to be a certain length, right, and oh.
And you want to hoot you mama out and shorter? No, I hood red hood rat, hoot.
You mama my shorts because I'm short. We're all ways shorter than the average one. Because if I went up beside, they would be longer. That's how shorts like work. Okay, And I'm super short and I was very short back then, so they would always be.
Just like an inch or like half a thing above.
This is what I mean. And I waste their time on the dumbest crap like they are. They are walking around and touching your shorts to see a ruler. He excuse me, we are gonna have to send you home because your shorts are too short, Like, hey, dude, what about the guy smoking weed in the bathroom or you know, doing a line of cocaine in the bathroom. Don't worry about them, worry about a T shirt and shorts being a half inch too short. They waste their time on stupid crap, So.
There has to be a reason for it, though. They all do that.
For because they want to enforce their power and show you how powerful and mighty they are. And that's the thing.
I don't know that that's all of them, but I'm.
Not saying all of them. I'm saying some of them that just think they have they want to show you their dominance. And it's like me, I'm just like, I'm so laid back and chill. I'm just like, oh my god, this is so annoying. Like do you think I really care if you call my parents? Like but whatever, So.
No, I'm just like shocked.
Though the just from you from a young age, you just never had any level of embarrassment, Like nothing ever embarrassed you.
Still does it to this day. I know that about you.
I just didn't care. Like the beginning in Trouble wasn't like a big deal, Like it was just me. I was having a personality and this guy was just trying to Oh, you're gonna you know what, because I'm such an assistant principle, I'm going to walk you to the office and you will know your parent's number. Like, no, bro, I don't know my parents' number, so I'm never gonna know it.
Were you the class clown?
Yeah?
Did you like pull pranks ever? Were you ever like constantly cracking jokes?
Oh, constantly cracking jokes all the.
Time, talking back, like cracking jokes or just cracking jokes to your friends.
Uh, probably talking back, cracking jokes. Like So, then so they leave the voicemail, right, let me finish the story and then I'll tell you more, Like we've been on.
The shirt for a while, so I was start going to give some more stories.
But no, this is fantastic. This is fantastic. Okay, So my parents get the the voicemail or whatever the answer machine, and they call him back and he doesn't answer, and so they let the voicemail and say, what is this scchi T T. We can't get a hold of anybody.
That's what your parents.
Yeah, Like that's funny your parents.
Wasn't you do? Take after your parents?
Like you know what, I'm saying like they have a sense of humor and like. And so he talks to my dad the next day and he's like, so, uh yeah, we just don't think that shirt should come back to school. And my dad's like, okay, cool man. And he's like, oh, and by the way, what do you do? My dad's like repairing their model houses and he goes, oh, can I just for our records? Can I write down your work number? And my dad's like, I don't have a work number, and he's like okay, because I asked your son, he said you didn't have one, and so you don't have one. He's like, no, I don't and he's like okay, thanks man. It's like you see what I'm saying, Like it's like he asked three times and then he asked my dad like I'm just lying to him, like I don't know, but I don't think.
I don't think most kids would it not lie in that situation. I think more often than not, kids are gonna like try and pull one.
Why would I give my homebone? Like it's like it's not like you know what I mean, Like I'll give you any phone number I have. I don't give a crap but he's.
Going off of a basis of experience where most of the time.
Came because I'm pretty a smart ass. And so I'm just like, okay, like I'm just rolling my eyes. This dude's annoying me.
Like like this kid isn't being honest with me.
Like I'm just like that had to be why he doesn't have a phone number.
Well, you got validated from your dad and also your parents making the joke.
It's funny, right, that's humor, and people they didn't appreciate it. And that's the thing. And so like when I showed up for graduation, they pulled me aside before I walked into the arena Irwin Center Rest in Peace of Erwin Center. Uh, they pulled me in a side room that listen, do not do anything today. We will keep your diploma, like we have our eyes on you, Like just let's have a.
So you're telling me, all you don't have your college degree and you almost have a high school degree.
Yeah, that tracks.
They were like, we want this to be a civil like a celebration. Please don't do anything. I'm just like you people are such losers, Like I just cannot believe, like, don't have any fun at your graduation, you know what I mean? Like, how dare you do something fun at graduation? Like, oh, we just got to have our you know, shirts buttoned up straight and our tie and we just have to sit there with our fans crossed. I mean, guys, can we live a little bit? Why are we so up tight? Why does every day have to be uptight? Can you explain it to me? Why can you not let kids have fun?
Well? I bet they were worried that you're like, like to place on fire or something based on this these few stories that I'm marrying. They're like this, dude, it all might come crumbling down.
I just can't. I just always found it so crazy that they didn't want kids to have a personality.
Yeah, I mean they allowed it in ours like we had We had senior pranks, we had senior skip day, we had all kinds of stuff. But it definitely like there was a threshold, like you couldn't go so and saying we would get in trouble for certain stuff.
But right, and I get it and see, and that's why you think I'm scared to let you. Oh my gosh, call my parents. My brother graduated in nineteen ninety seven, right, and I was in ninety nine, so he was two years out of me. And my sister was in ninety eight.
You know, I was six years old. You got when you graduated.
That's really old. And so here's what happened. This is I'll just give you a peek into how my parents wore.
Okay, wait, hold on, we're going to take a break.
We need to take a break.
Ready, break, and won't come back to that because then we also got to talk about you being a dad too. So with this role is perfectly. You tell how your parents were. I mean, they'll be great.
Okay. I don't know if people like that story, but that story is, it is phenomenal. Let me tell you. And I told you everything. I told you every detail, and that was my sophomore year of high school. I'm telling you, guys, I will tell you stories for days. I remember details upon details upon detail.
You do, Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be back with more details upon details. All right, lunchbox, tell me how your parents were.
So my brother graduates, right, and he's cleaning out of all his crap and he has a pad of get out of class early like paper that he had stolen from the office, and they're already stamped, and he goes to throw them in the trash and my mom pulls him out and goes, don't you think your brother or sister might need those? That's what I'm talking about, Like that is awesome, And she gave him to us.
You know, I remember the first time that I met your parents, and they were just so funny and so easy going and very lighthearted, and it just it's made sense when I met them, and I know you, it just all made sense in the best way possible, Like it made sense where you came from, is what I'm trying to say.
Yeah, and that's what I don't understand why people are so like uptight, Like people are just like, oh my gosh, don't do this, don't do that, Oh can't do that? You want march in line, be you know, quiet, don't say anything. It's like, guys, can we live? Can we have fun? Like why can we not have fun? Like why do we start being so serious all the time.
You grew up in a very different way than majority of people. I would say, like you had very chill parents, very were like they were also honor in their own ways, from the stories you've told me, like they were funny, they loved to crack jokes. Yeah, pranksters like you had very chill just henre also parents, and I don't think that was very common lunch. I don't think most people. A lot of people have like full structure and it wasn't chill. You get in trouble a lot, but really, yeah, that's weird. I think it's uncommon.
I don't know. I felt like it's like I felt like most parents were chill listen.
I don't know, I'm just knowing now, Like meeting your parents and like seeing the way that you grew up, it to me it wasn't common everyone that I knew, all the experiences that I've had, all the people that I've talked to, you have a solo experience in that and just your experiences of how everything was very laid back. And maybe it's because like that was just their personalities and it just really morphed into who you are. I mean, that's what parenting is.
Yeah, Like I mean there was a dude, like we had a curfew, citywide curfew, and we were freshmen in high school and he came to spend the night at Forest South, We're gonna go toilet paper for someone's house. So they went up to the HB to get some toilet paper and a cop bus like pulled them over and curfew violation, and his parents lost it, like you're never allowed to go over there, Like I knew you shouldn't have gone to the ghetto. Oh and like and you know, just kids, they're just such bad influences on you. So the parents are that say that, right, and then we like one time we get busted throwing some we're throwing footballs or tennis balls at cars, right, oh boy, okay, And someone knocks on my parents' door AND's like, hey, man, there's some kids over there that might be your kids. And instead of being like, n it ain't my kids. My kids would never do that, my dad's like, yeah, that kind of sounds like something they would do, you know what I mean. Like people like parents were such in denial, like their kids did nothing wrong. And my dad's like, man, that's probably them, you know, Like I'm guessing that's them. So that's one of the things I think is funny too, his parents always saying, oh, my kid would never do that. It's like, guys, your kids do stuff like all kids do stuff.
I guess to your point, I did. There was moments where like we would go toilet paper the house. Sometimes our parents would drive us. We'd have like a whole low up in the car.
But it was always innocent stuff like when you know, we were out drinking or we'd sneak out. Of course I'd get in trouble like that's when I would be grounded and I'd get yelled at. But like when we go toilet paper and we're just like innocent, we're doing things that like kids are doing.
No, I didn't get in trouble.
Yeah, we never like had to sneak out because my parents were such heavy sleepers. He just walked up out the front door.
They know now, like looking back that you did sneak out, you were doing stuff.
Yeah, but they don't they don't care. Here's another thing. My parents they always like they would say, oh, be home at this time, and if we didn't come home with that time, okay whatever.
Do you ever get grounded?
Not really? I mean maybe once.
Okay, see, like yeah, that just met vastly different experiences.
Yeah, because my parents, like like in high school, they looked at us and They said, listen, I'm not going to tell you not to drink, because I can't tell you that because I'm not gonna be there. Like I can't say do not drink, or you're gonna be in trouble. They said, But I'll tell you one thing. If you do drink, just call us. We'll come get you. That's it.
That was it.
That was the only role.
Yeah, I did have that.
My parents were like, if you ever find yourself in like a compromising position, like please don't drive.
Just call us. Yeah we got you. But yeah, it's still get.
In trouble, Like, oh, you're get in trouble.
Oh yeah, I mean like I wasn't trouble for calling them. But it was like, Morgan, you're under age, you shouldn't be drinking, Like what are you?
So that's weird because it's kind of contradictory because you're scared to get in trouble.
Yeah, but I wasn't like grounded.
It was just like don't do this anymore, yeah, and if you do it again, you will be in trouble kind of thing. So there was leeway, but it wasn't enough to be like, oh yeah, I'm gonna go do that again, and I'll be fine.
Because my mom would stay up weird, like she'd go to bed and then wake up at like one start vacuuming, and if we weren't home, she'd send us a page and we'd had to call like where are you? Okay, well, all right, when are you coming home? It was like one of those things. It was never so are you.
I'm assuming you're kind of taking the same parenting style with your kids. It's very laid back, laid back, chill, chill, Okay, Well, like, how does your wife feel about that? Because I bet your wife was also raised differently.
She has a little harder time. But like I told the story on about how they went up a couple of houses to some swing that was in someone's front yard and a couple three middle schoolers said something to them, and I saw some of the comments were like what are you doing letting your kids go two houses away to swing on a swing? I'm like, oh my gosh, people, are you really these people that are going to sit there and make sure you have to stand over your kids the whole time. They're not allowed to leave your sight, like it's two houses down. Like their kids, they know how to walk. They know how to kind of Now you got to teach them to navigate the world. You gotta let your kids out two houses down. Oh my god, I'm a terrible parent. I laughed. Me and my parents were laughing so hard. I told him about it. They were like, oh my gosh, here we go.
But does your wife have moments where like she really wants to kind of helicopter parent and you're you're stopping her.
From doing that.
She's trying to get better?
Yeah? Yeah, was that a thing, especially with your first one because that was the first child.
Yeah, Like our first one, she wanted me to strap him in to the baby changing table every time I changed the diaper in case he rolled off. I'm like, he is three weeks old, he has no muscles. But what if I'm like, oh my gosh, snap.
So you'd reluctantly allow it. Back.
I did it when she was in the room. I never did if she was not in the room, Like, if she was there standing there, yes, I did it because she was there, But if she was not there, I never snapped him, like it was like, he can't roll over.
So now as you guys have three kids, they're growing up, do you feel like she has lessons.
Yes, like the third kid. We didn't put up baby gates, We never put locks on the cabinets. We never did anything.
You just let it happen.
Just let it happen, like there was no stop. Like it was just like you know what, like we it's fine. Like the first child, everybody does it. And it's like, you go to the grocery store. This is a great example, the grocery store. With the first kid, you would carry the diaper bag and go all around the store carrying it. It's like, why not just leave it in the car. It's not like if the kid goes to the bathroom, just go out to the car and get it, or just wait till you get to the car. It's not like you're gonna be in the grocery store for three hours. Like but you see, like these first time parents, they go in the grocery store and they got the diaper bag and it's just like I was there, man, I feel you, but you don't need it. You don't need it.
Do you feel like I'm the second kid it starts to wane a little bit, or do you feel like you go full like first kid everything?
Second kid okay whatever.
Yeah, oh it starts to weanne on the second kid, like you start to not do thing. Oh no, we don't need to worry about that.
But then the third kid is where it's like, really, all bets are off.
All bets are off, all bets are off. Yeah.
That is why they always say like the young the youngest child, always that it's just like chaos into them.
Yeah, because most of the time parents are like, yeah, you're the last one.
You're fine, You're fine, Like you understand that they're gonna be okay. Yeah, ninety nine percent of the time. And it's it's great, it's fantastic. And that's the thing, like when we treat our three year old and it's just like when our first one was three, when Baby Box one was three, I mean we were like, oh man, he can't do anything, and now we're like, go get your own water, like and so he climbs up on the counter, gets a cup and gets his own water. You know, like you realize they can do a lot more than you realize. Yeah.
I've seen a lot of things on TikTok where parents are learning to just like communicate with their kids, like talk to him as normal human beings instead of it being like you're babying them literally, Instead it's just having full normal conversations and they start to adapt quicker.
Yeah.
Do you feel like that's true? I don't know. It's still what I'm seeing on TikTok.
I mean they can do a lot of things. Yeah, and they're smart.
Does it ever shock you when they do something? You're like, oh, you're a little human.
You can do that.
Yeah. Like the five year old now is very interested in climbing the tree to touch the roof of the house, you know, And how did.
He discover that this is like a thing?
Was he just playing outside his older brother like he and he just realized, oh, man, if I get on that next branch, I can touch the roof. And my whole thing is I'll sit there and watch them. And he's like, will you help me? I might know, but if you do it, you do it, and then can you help me get down? I'm like, no, you got up there, so you can get down.
Are you ever worried about them breaking bones?
Or yeah? It's good, I mean that happens.
Yeah, did you ever did you break a lot of bone?
I broke my right arm twice, my left arm once.
Yeah, but those were the only other crazy injuries.
You had, yeah, that I can remember.
Yeah, so you're not like super worried about like really crazy things you like, break a bone.
It happened. I mean, my my baby Box two broke his arm when he was one and a half.
Really yeah.
He flipped off backwards off the place skate at the park, like.
Oh my gosh, and he cried, I assume barely.
Really yeah, he just kind of fell and then you grab me and he's like oh, and then he starts trying to play, but then he wouldn't move his arm. He might want to go get that looked out, bud.
Do you feel like he was so small that little.
Like brace wouldn't even fit on his arm?
Oh? Yeah and a half.
It's amazing.
Do you feel like you're missing out not having a girl.
I don't know any different, So how would I know if I'm missing I have no ideas on So you're saying I did to trade one of my kids, no, like have.
Another one girl? Oh yeah no, no, like if if.
We if my wife knew it would be a girl, she'd have been pregnant nine months ago. Yeah, you know, or a year and a half ago or two years years ago, she was just nervous about She's just she's just nervous about a fourth boy, or now that we're older, twins.
Yeah, so that's more common for people to have twins when you're older.
Yeah, because you're like a dumping more because you're your eggs are like get out of here, got it. Yeah, So it's a lot more little. Older you get, the more likely it is, and the more likely that they'll have health conditions, is supposedly the Yeah, so she's very on the Oh my gosh, but she's you know, I don't know. So that's all about her.
So it's really like if she says like yes, green light, go ahead, you're.
Like, let's go.
You're on board, let's go.
Do you just want the biggest family you can possibly have?
Yeah?
So you just keep going. If not, just keep going, I mean like, would you be like cheaper by the dozen?
No? No, okay, because that's child abuse.
Okay, Well I'm trying to find your threshold.
But like the Duggards, this child abuse?
How many do they have? Eight?
I don't know.
There is that John and K plus.
Eight, Y's John and K plus eight Okay, you want to watch child abuse. You can't even spend time with that. All those kids, you don't even have time to in Like in a day's time, you would not be able to spend time with all your kids. You would miss ninety percent of their events or whatever they're doing because you have so many kids. There is no way you can give them the love and attention they need if you have that many kids period that period.
It's a hot take. And I don't have any opinion. I don't have kids, so I have no idea. It's a hot take though, Like.
They are going to be raising themselves. The siblings are going to be raising the kids because you don't have enough time.
To At what point would you stop them?
Like?
How many kids is too much?
Ooh? I would say four is the max? Okay, four is the max? Okay, I think five is. When you get into that territory of man, you're gonna be missing a lot of things.
Okay, all right, well we're taking a quick break. We'll come back. We got more kid talk. We got more more child stuff.
GID talk. Oh what's that? Oh mom talk? Have you ever seen that?
No? I can't say that.
That's the Mormons.
Okay, the Salt Lake City Wives.
Yeah you want to tell you, well, I don't know if we'll come back. Yeah, we're gonna be back.
Yeah, okay, Salt Lake City Wives. Is that one of your reality to you?
No? No, no, it's called Real Lives of the Mormon mom talk, I think is what it's called.
Mom talk is what you're talking about when them on TikTok.
Yeah, but I think there I don't know what their shows called.
Lives of Mormon Wives. I think you're right, the Secret Lives of the Human Wives.
That's it. Let me tell you that might be the dumbest show ever. Yeah.
You know.
I tried to watch it because of mom talk exactly, so like pop culture.
I think I got like half an episode and I was like, this is not for me.
Ding ding ding. I was like, oh my gosh, we're gonna hear all the scandal. We didn't hear anything about it. There's nothing about it.
Wait, did you watch the whole thing?
No?
Or you just meant like you expected in the first episode and it didn't happen.
I watched like two episodes and then it was like, this girl was even part of it, the scandal, this one one part of the scandal, and I'm like, well, then why are they on the show.
Yeah. I think it's interesting with reality TV, especially.
They hooked you in with the trailer saying, oh, the scandal, the scandal, and then they it's not even a part of it. Is so stupid, dumbest show ever. But I just saw that season two is coming. I'm like, I'm not watching it.
So people obviously liked it.
No, they didn't. They just need something to fill up the time.
Oh, they need content.
Yeah, but probably because she has a lot of whatever TikTok followers, so they probably do watch it. But it's stupid because you don't even hear about the scandal.
Yeah, what is your favorite Okay, aside from survivor.
Real World Challenge? I know that's like your top.
Yeah, and like tea mom taking those away, Like Bravo, let's focus more on Bravo reality TV. Do you watch any of those? No, never got into that side of reality TV.
No, I don't even know what's on brod Like what's brought the Real Housewives? Is that what it is?
Real Housewives is one you got below deck, You've got Southern Charm, the one that.
Raised it never watched it. I used.
I was shocked you never got into those type of shows, given I.
Watched A Below Deck a couple of times, but I've never watched the whole season. I just catch episodes now and then it's fine. Yeah.
So do you like more competition based besides teen Mom? Yes, I'm thinking of your reality TV shows than you like competition base.
Yeah. Like I used to watch The Bachelor and Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. It was awesome.
Yeah, that has a competitive element to it.
Right, But then I just the Bachelor's just got so it was just such a big pop culture thing that I watched it. Yeah, but the best is Bachelor in Paradise. That's the most fun. They kind of make fun. They even make fun of the Bachelor and Bachelor Bachelorette whatever it's called. And it's cheesy and it's hilarious, and they're just sweating profusely in the sun and on the beach like they look miserable. That's the best one.
Yeah, it used to be a major pop culture thing.
I mean I remember being in the sorority house and we would every Monday night, everybody would be down there watching it.
Toga.
Yes, but then I left college and I'm kind of stopped caring.
I think you just it's kind of run its course. Yeah, and I can't believe they still make it. It must still make money.
Yeah, I think you still have diehard fans of it for sure. That and those people still come away with like massive followings.
Yeah.
I used to.
I mean I used to live tweet it, like I mean, it was like, oh that was so big it was you live tweet it.
I do remember that. And you used to it because I would always film them. You do like Bachelor reviews?
Yeah?
Ever really Tuesday? Yeah, that was the thing.
It was a big deal. But now I couldn't even tell you who the last Bachelor or Bachelorette. I don't know which one it was, who it was. I did just see they announced another Golden Bachelor.
Okay. Now I do find those ones interesting.
I feel like that's a better spin on doing something different with that franchise.
I'm surprised the older people want to be on that show, but I guess older people want to be famous too, huh.
I mean, if you think about it.
They're not really stop, they're not looking for love.
No, no, no, I mean, if you think about it, like there, they've been around for the rise of social media. And I've seen like older influencers.
Yeah, heck, i've seen.
I'm pretty sure she's like ninety three and she's like a fitness influencer.
I love her. She's hilarious, that's funny, and she just like it's all about like getting older people, like you should be moving your body. I don't think she's ninety three. I think she might be in her eighties.
But okay, you aged sorry by a decade.
She could be ninety three. I can't remember, but she's awesome. She looks like she's like in her sixties.
That's pretty cool.
It's fun to watch her. So I do think some of that happened rise of social media.
That could be it.
So I think you do have people wanting to put themselves out there.
Yeah, I've never watched an episode, so I don't know how you watched.
The original Golden Bachelor. No, I'm kind of surprised you didn't and you did, like the.
The Bachelor of thing is that's shape that ship has sailed. Okay, See it's out there in the ocean, never coming back.
Got it?
And I'm not I'm out of that one. I think I lost it during like COVID is really when I was like, Okay, this is just dumb.
Yeah, I feel like I understand it a little better now about your reality TV Why Team Mom though, because T Mom wasn't.
I was just on MTV that looked awesome and it was like what an culture. No, No, sixteen and Pregnant was the original, but then T Mom came after you, but it was girls from sixteen and Pregnant, So I wanted to see the update. Yeah, I want to see where they were at.
And it was kind of a pop culture thing for everybody was watching.
It was huge. I watched it huge, Yes, and people everybody watched it. We got millions of people per week. You know that's on MTV. That tells you that it is huge.
You know my favorite thing that I used to watch on MTV and I don't know why it was my favorite, but it was funny and it was back in this timeframe.
And it was a reality show.
Yeah, it involved a bus.
Involved a bus.
I'll tell you because you're probably gonna get it next where it was like the dating show.
I watch that I watched that that was great.
I loved that.
That was a good show. That was a good show.
I was so entertained by it.
Okay, I don't know.
Why, but I loved that show.
That's funny. I did watch that. I watched Next. I know exactly what you're talking about. Now, Okay, that's really funny. Involved a bus. I forgot all about it.
I know you would have said and involves.
A bus, and I would have I would have been like, what I know, didn't even think came.
Out and they'd like put like their little thing on the card and then they'd get next so quickly, and I was like, dang, you just walk on the bus.
Next s right back up on the bus. Pretty funny, it's so harsh. Yeah, So did you ever watch Eliminate or anything like that?
Yeah?
Those were good.
I was fascinated with MTV back then because I was young still, like I want to say, I was gosh, thirteen fourteen, super like impressionable watching that.
Yeah, Punked was on MTV. Yeah, I watched fun Now did you watch did you ever watch Boiling Points?
Yes?
That was fantastic.
That's a throwback that like you you know, when you like file something away and it's just back there and somebody has to pull it out. That's what you just did to me.
I thought Boiling Points was so good because they'd set up those scenarios and if you don't blow a gas get in a sort amount of time, they go, all right, we were your own boiling Points. Here's five hundred dollars. It was so funny. I was like, that is something I wanted. I would love to do that. Yeah, to work at a store and be able to just screw with people and to just have them blow up. Oh, it'd be so fun.
Not physically blow up, but yeah.
Not physically blow up. Yeah, I think I think people. I don't think anybody listening to this, but I meant really have them blow up.
You know, No, No, I am crazy things back.
I'm pretty sure our listeners aren't that dumb.
I'm not saying they're dumb, but I'm just saying, like you say, blow up, like it could mean a lot of things.
You're right, You're they blow up like a puffer fish. They could blow up like yeah.
But nod crazy things back in like that television time, there was wild stuff on TV. We were rejecting somebody out of a bus, like there was crazy things happening.
That's great. No, uh uh. Singled out was great?
Wait, singled out? Which one was that?
Oh my goodness, that's where they would go on stage, they'd walk by. I mean, come on, don't you're maybe too that one? Oh man?
Hey, we were doing we were doing really good though first year, and we.
Were we were on the same page. Then all of sudden, Okay, that's all right, that happens. You know what I mean, their age gap, you know what I mean? How old are you? I'm thirty one, I'm not I'm only thirty. No, wait, I'm only twelve years old?
Old?

Months, yeah, something like that.
Yeah, it's not bad. Okay, all right, see all right.
It's just more funny. Like when you were talking about high school and graduating, and I was like I was still kind of a Toddler.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was weird. That was weird. That was a little bit strange.
No, it's okay, no, because you'd.
Have been eight when I graduated high school.

Oh I thought you were six where my brother graduated.
Sorry, well you said nineteen ninety nine. When did you graduate?

Okay, okay. Yeah. Like I play soccer, Like, there's one girl on my team, and.
Is this my friend?
No, not not your friend, different girl.
Because she's younger than me.
Yeah. Yeah, but this girl we were talking and she's like, yeah, something about graduating high school. I was like, oh, what year did you graduate? And she's like, oh, I graduated high school in twenty nineteen. I'm like what.
You're like, dang, is that your moment where you're like, oh, okay, I should probably retire from this.

Okay, yeah, she's turning.
She's about to turn twenty eight somewhere in.
There, somewhere in there. Okay.
I know, I know it's crazy.
Even when I talk to her, there's like moments where I'm like, dang, I'm old and she's only like four years younger than me.
Yeah, it happens, man, it happens quick.
I know. I know. It's okay. But you're you're young and fun. You're fine.
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm young in fun. I can a nap. I'm tired.
I feel that. I mean, like you how old I am? Yeah, don't tell me how old you are?
Like on Easter, like we got done doing whatever we were doing all this, and I mean we we finally all right, kids, you gotta take a nap. And I sat down on the couch that stuff like this, just straight up and let him laid my head back on the back of the couch and fell asleep.
How long were you asleep for a Yeah, you're a dad.
I was so tired, lunchbox.
Let me just paint a picture for you. Every time I'm my dad would come home from work, we'd come home from school, we would find him in the same place, in the same position on the couch, doing exactly what you just did.
Yeah, yeah, no, no, I understand. And I used to wonder how my parents slept through all the things we did, And now I get it.
Our favorite thing, our poor father, Our favorite thing was going and finding ways to wake him up, because he.
Would he would always get like he would do this like we call it. Terry had his moments where he'd literally like if we scared him awake enough, his whole body would like react like you'd think it earthquake.
Just so we.
Would always wake him up like in loud noises, we'd bang on pots and pants, we'd set.
Off like our alarms near him.
Would he'd wake up mad. I can imagine so like I can already know, I can I can already picture it. Yeah, I mean. I was in class one time in college, doctor y cla up. It was some bitness class, and I fell asleep with my head down, you know, and something I must have been dreaming or something, and I woke up and grabbed the air. Oh, and I look and my whole row was looking at me. I was like, oh my god, so embarrassing. And I fell there one time in a big auditorium and my pin fell don't started rolling down the stairs, and that's like, oh my god. It's like, oh hey, let me know you were sleeping in my class. Well, let me know you were sleeping in my class.
That is the worse any in general, just ever falling asleep in public anywhere, and you have like a I want to call it, like an alarm awake when your body just like freaks out.
It's so embarrassing because you know somebody sees it.
Somebody has to see it. Yeah, like your body is spasming. I'll tell you what I used to do, and people thought I was crazy. But if I had time in between classes, I'd go to the library, get on one of those couches and go to sleep really yeah.
For how long hour and you just sleep. Well, I guess the library was quiet.
It had to be, yeah, And people are like, well, what about everybody looking at you? I don't care. I'm asleep. Like literally, it's right. You'd walk up the stairs and they'd have couches around, you know, and I just go in there and I just get a couch.
You know. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Like you're tired, like worn out, and you have like two hours of machine classes you don't want to go back to, you know, so I just lay down.
That's funny.
I'm weird.
No, you're not weird.
I just like naps.
I'm with you. I love a good nap. Like we talk about you napping all the time. I'm pretty sure I nap on the same amount that you do. And I don't even have kids.
Yeah, I'll just wait.
I love napping. Oh that that concerns me.
Whenever I talk to my mom about having kids, I'm like, but I really like sleep, Like I really like sleep.
Oh you're gonna be a nightmare. Yeah, yeah, it's hard, but it's I mean the naps. What people don't understand is when you have newborns, like when you have younger kids nap when they nap, and it's like, oh, I gotta do laundry. Screw the laundry, Like, don't do the laundry. Napping is more important when they nap so you can survive and I can't. Like everybody asked me, oh, what's your advice for having a kid, Like, you know, Kevin's having kid, Like, dude, sleep when the baby sleeps if they take a nap at twelve o'clock. Lay down and take a nap. Don't worry about the dishes. You can do it the dishes when the kid is awake, because you don't have to. I'm telling you, you got to get your sleep.
No, that's a that's a fair point. I'll be coming to you at some point in my life hopefully.
Oh let me see you. Yeah, we got about seven years.
Yeah, we got some time. I'm in no rush. I'm okay.
Well, I mean you are thirty three now.
I'm thirty one one. That was rude. Sorry, you wanted to take shots because you always get taken shots at fine, Yes, I.
Want you to just I go. You go through mom jokes, your dumb mom jokes. I want to hurry up, hurry up.
It's not the same thing.
It is.
Mom jokes don't happen like dad jokes happen.
Oh, here we go, Here we go. Mom jokes are so much better.
No, no, no, it's not that. It's just that like dad, I love dad jokes. That's what you guys fail to realize. Like my dad is so funny and I love when he cracks jokes. And when you guys do it. It's so entertaining for me.
Okay, but I just give you guys a hard time because it's the same thing I do to my dad. I'm like, really, Dad, why did you just tell that random stranger of that joke?
Why was that necessary? Yeah, it's just a dad thing.
Yeah, it's not a.
It's not a shot fired at you guys. That's what you guys don't realize. It's endearing to me.
One of my favorite jokes.
Yeah, that I do everywhere.
And my wife it's like, you gotta stop, Like, no one finds it funny.
What's what's the joke? Can you say it?
Yeah? Oh, you know, like you're checking into a hotel, or you're at the grocery store or wherever.
Okay, we're talking to the random employee. Okay, god, yeah, exactly, this is the joke.
It's great. They're like, how you doing today? I'm like, looking good? That's half the battle. And my wise, like, no one likes that.
Did they ever last? Oh?
Yeah, they laugh a lot, like some people almost steal that one. I'm gonna use that. I'm gonna use that. That's right.
And how often though, is it that dudes are the ones that are like, yeah, I'm gonna steal that.
Never it's always women.
It's always women though, yeah, women. Do you think they actually steal it?
Probably not. Yeah, but it's a great it's a great line. I'm looking good. That's half the battle.
It is a very bad thing to just randomly crack jokes at strangers. Yeah, like that's part of the thing. Yeah, yeah, it's endearing. It's entertaining.
I mean like, your kids will make fun of you for it one day, but that's great, that's part.
Then they're going to do it one day because that's how dad did it.
You know. My funniest dad, My funniest dad moment. I will like in recent years that happened when I was like so embarrassed by my dad. We went to lows together and he used one of his gift cards and he was so excited, like he loves using his lowest gift cards and he uses it and the guy I was like, okay, yeah, it's gone, and he's like going to throw it away. My Dad's like no, no, no, don't throw it away. I'm looking at my dad. I'm like, what do you what do you need that for? He's like I don't know. I just I want it back, and he yell at this poe employee.
He yelled at this poor employee over a freaking gift card. And I literally like mortified. I was mortified. I was like, Dad, we walked out of that story and looked at the dad.
You want, don't need the gift card, and two, don't yell at the poor guy. Just next time and be like, hey man, could I have that back like he had his dad.
I had to yell because he was gonna throw in the trash, and once it's in the trash, it's.
Gone apparently, but like you can't get back in the trash and grab it out.
Well not the trash. Pretty gross, I hear you.
But yeah, this is like.
That's like when we were in Pigeon Forge and my kids we went to this thing called Magic Quest and I had a little gift card or whatever, yeah, and they go to no, no, no, we know it was to play at home, and I'm like, what do you what do you mean it's like use this as their credit card at home, like when they grocery shop. See, but they did the same thing. M they yelled at the person, So it's just not your dad.
Okay, but like, have you done this before?
No, I don't care about gift card. Okay, I don't need an empty gift card.
You're gonna have your moment though, like this.
The other thing that's happened is he's like in his like older, as we've gotten older, sticky things.
He hates sticky things. And I think it's because we used to be so sticky as kids, like we'd always get over, but now we really like messing with my dad.
Do you have a mess with your mom?
No, it's not fun.
Oh my gosh, see your dad. That's unfair.
But he's my dad, messes with us back.
I don't know.
Oh he does. Trust me.
You know how many times I got like I He would blare air horns in my ear to wake me up as.
A kid's because he didn't want you to miss the bus.
No, he did it on purpose, okay, And he'd come and like scare us by knocking our window and running away. Like trust me, this is a mutual prank experience.
Okay.
But sticky things bother him, and so we go somewhere we're using like a sticky thing and he gets he'll eat and then he'll like go to the bathroom and wash his hands, and then he put the stuff on it so when it comes back there's more sticky stuff and then stick his hands. And most of the time he doesn't know that. He just thinks that, like he left the sticky stuff.
Fine, that's so mean.
No, this is the thing he gets. I'm not kidding. He like touches it for a seconde he's like sticky hands. He like breaks out something so funny.
That's interesting that sticky hands is what h U. Yeah, my father in law did like dirt on like he like he.
And I think it has to do with like raising kids, and like you had so much of this at one point that now it's like I'm good.
I don't need any more. That's pretty funny, so thanks to look forward to.
Yeah, well, I mean nothing bothers me, So I don't care dirt I do. I do.
Hope your kids like prank you.
I do too. I hope the same they like. No, they already do it. They already stand behind the corner and wait real quietly. And I come around the corner. Ah, got I score the crap out of you. And I'm like, yeah, you did.
See it's a fun relationship.
It's hilarious.
So all that to say endearing. I find dad stuff endearing, like they.
And they have gotten so good at standing there quietly, like and they'll sit there and wait for twenty minutes, I know, and it's like, all right, walk out, boo.
See. I love this. I love this for you.
Yeah, it's pretty fun dad life. My wife does not like it. She's gonna have a heart attack.
Well, you know, the moms have to be the ones that are cool, because when the dads are pranking with the kids, it's always a thing. Yeah, it's part of the experience. All Right, we're jumping out of here. Bye guys, LaunchBox, thanks for being here.
