I'm going to hold off on you. No, I promise. And for me, because the last couple of days we've just led with... Okay, go. Okay. Now, it has a sad element. Okay. Of course it does. Well, James Van Der Beek died. We know that. However, and I guess, how do I say it? Well, we haven't talked about the James Van Der Beek stuff at all. I mean, I was going to talk about that. I figured you might. that's why I have a story that is adjacent to that. Okay then I'll go first. Okay. James Van Der Beek passed away yesterday. He lost his battle with colorectal cancer. He was 48 years old. He was survived by his wife and their six kids. Oh man. Which by the way I think Brad from Three Doors Down was also 47 or 48. Really? His was a kidney. Very young. Dang. It's crazy. His wife Kimberly issued a statement saying he met his final days with courage, faith, and grace. there is much to share regarding his wishes love for humanity and the sadness and sacredness of time he was obviously in Dawson's Creek which ran for six seasons from 98 to 2003 on the WB he also was in Varsity Blues great movie, Rules of Attraction Don't Trust the Bee in Apartment 23, such an underrated show, I loved that show is Bee like, yeah Mike you ever watched that? I feel like that'd be a show you'd like, yeah it was good, I forgot about that show I forgot about it too She ended up being like a superhero on Netflix. She was... Yeah, Kristen Ritter. Yeah, what did she do? Jessica Jones. That's what it was. Yeah, it's really good. Jessica Jones. Coming back. It is? Yeah. He did Dancing with the Stars in 2019. He did The Masked Singer last year. I met him a couple times. A little more than met. We weren't friends, so I'm not going to fake flex that we were friends. but we definitely spent 20 minutes in total through two conversations. Once at Dancing with the Stars because he had danced with Emma, who was like my favorite person from that show, and met him there. And then in Austin at maybe last year, maybe the year before, we had already met, so we were talking backstage again, just kind of catching up, and he lived in Austin. They had moved to Austin. And so he was a super nice guy. tragic that he was so young um is yours about to go fund me it is okay you can have it yeah so in 24 hours of it being put up a go fund me to help with medical bills and supporting his wife and six children uh it as of this morning was over 1.2 million dollars so just an outpour of love from fans, fellow celebrities, their friends and family, but a lot of those people also well-known. And then just even watching the outpour of love from people that worked with him that are also in the industry and other celebrities, they just had nothing but kind words to say about him. So you can just tell the type of person that he was even in the, you know, the circle, the celebrity circle. his long-term medical care broke them financially. Oh, yeah. So when they set up to GoFundMe, they set it up because all their medical care, they were out of funds. He started selling his memorabilia. You guys may have seen to cover the cost. Yeah, and last night it was a 1.1. So it's like it's 1.2. I saw somebody, I don't remember who, had committed $2,500 a month that was a celebrity. Zoe Saldana. Yeah, and some others, $5,000 a month. Really? Oh, that's cool. Because with these celebrities, you think, oh, they're rich. Yeah. They got this covered. But I remember I was watching that Christopher Reeves documentary where it cost him thousands of dollars a day to live. And they were like, we have no money whatsoever. But you think, oh, they're famous. They got money. They're good. Yeah, fame only sometimes translates to money. and only if the fame is through multiple avenues of continuing money. And it seems with James Van Der Beek, he had Dawson's Creek, but that was only five years and then some other one-offs. But yeah, I don't think he made a ton of money. I'm sure he made a lot of money, but I'm saying not to sustain a what you'd call rich lifestyle and that could also maintain a family of six and having cancer for so long. so yeah recipes James Van Der Beek he was always super kind when I was around him I guess always I met him twice but he was always super nice when I met him that is your story? yes okay Nancy Guthrie update do you guys want one of those? or is anybody doing that? yes please Nancy Guthrie suspected kidnappers believed to have we saw the video but now officially they're saying worn gloves carried a backpack with reflective straps and brandished a semi-automatic handgun investigators are contacting manufacturers and retailers of the handgun from what they can see of it to see who has bought a handgun like that in the past couple of years. Authorities sent the ransom note writer, or they sent the ransom note and they said the writer is from Tucson because they were sent to local area TV stations. Sorry, my mouth is still killing me from when I got my tooth put in. I feel like I'm stumbling over a speed bump, but it's my my mouth, my gums in front of my teeth. The FBI recovered a black glove about 1.5 miles from Nancy's home. They don't say if that glove is the glove that he was wearing, but they recovered a black glove. Odds that it's that glove? I don't know. I mean, there's lots of gloves out there. But anything at this point, a new note sent to TMZ demanded one Bitcoin in exchange for the name of the individual involved. And there was active in that account, activity in that account, a Bitcoin account. And one Bitcoin is how much? It's down now. It's like $66,000. Pretty good. Yeah, it's gone down in the past few weeks tremendously, which is why I've said now's the time to buy in if you're going to buy in. But yeah, maybe ask for two because it's gone down so much. It might keep going down. Well, at $66,000, like just three weeks ago, you had to pay $100,000 for a Bitcoin. So that's the update in that story. Anybody else see anything I didn't talk about? No, but I got a question. Why did it take so long? For them to get pictures of this ring doorbell camera. We talked about that yesterday. But, well, no, no. But why did it take so long? Right. We said we couldn't believe it took so long. Because it just feels like complete incompetence that they now can go into it and go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We recovered this. But there's also the chance that they did have it a little longer. They just didn't share it with us. And they didn't share it with us. I saw they have asked neighbors for their footage for certain dates in January in a certain radius they want to see. What I'm holding onto in my heart is that everything they're releasing now is so delayed because they've had it, they've evaluated it, and now they're putting it out because, like we said yesterday, if they're just now finding this footage, it's complete incompetence. I mean, but they have put up a white tent outside of her house. the forensic team, which usually signifies, is what they're saying in the news. Signifies what? A dead body. A white tan? Yeah. So you can't see. That's usually what they put up at crime scenes when there's a dead body. I've never seen that. Have you seen the guy, the pizza delivery guy? I guess one of the news crew. They took in? Not that one. No, no, no. He delivered pizza. So one of the news guys. One of the news crews got pizza for delivery, and they put her address on there because that's where they are. They're camped out there. And he just walked past all the tape and everything and tried to ring the doorbell. They're like, get out of here. Yeah, they made a whole statement. The sheriff's department did. It was like, don't order food delivery to the crime scene. It did seem a little ridiculous. The guy comes out. He's laughing. He's like, my man, my man. Who ordered this pizza? And the news guy's like, over here, man. I didn't see that. you think you'd put in the note don't walk to house I'm the guy in the black shirt meet me on the street that kind of thing yeah but they said the backpack he was wearing is a Walmart brand and supposedly the holster and backpack have been traced to a Tucson Walmart just so you know how did they track a holster oh a holster did you see the ex-FBI special agent who said that this guy isn't a trained assassin based on his years of it how he was holding the gun, where he decided to go into the house. Trying to get the brush to cover the camera. Looked like a lot of bumbling and stumbling. That part seems very much. Even like his fist covering the camera. Yes. He like went up and was like covering with his pinky and was like, eh. Then he got the brush. But if you were really smart, wouldn't you look really dumb? That's, mm-hmm. And then you have like a fake limp, you know? All that, all that. He's like, I'm a trained assassin, so I'm gonna look like I'm a moron. Right. so who is the guy the other delivery driver guy because I've seen clips of him too saying like man like he was the one that was taking him for questioning yeah someone turned him in they were like this looks like my friend because his eyes or not my friend the person I know because his eyes because of his eyes and then he was like I didn't do it yeah I mean friend yeah I should have said somebody they knew I'm not sure of the relationship yeah relationship's probably a little strained now I will say though I did look at his video and then go back to the surveillance and be like let me see the eyes They don't look the same. And based on my opinion, they don't look like the same eyes. Yeah, you would think because our eyes do so much unlocking of things. There we go. I thought about this. Okay, go ahead. No, just the fact that like, you know, even open our phones, like they should have some bank of our eyes. Yeah, or like, has he done any TikToks? Whenever we went to the Super Bowl, I'm not kidding. It was the most bizarre facial recognition thing that I've ever seen because when we had to go get our credentials a lot of times you'll walk up you'll be in front of it like you're taking a driver's license picture it'll go clink clink yep you pass amy i'm not kidding the first fraction of a second that your face even got in that screen it was like you're not him you are him fastest i've ever seen and i wasn't even all the way in front of it so the technology is able to be at an airport and tell who a thousand people are all at the same time instantaneously so easy yeah didn't you find it to be weird i did find it to be weird like super fast did you ever try to close your eyes and trick it? It knew I wasn't me as soon as I walked up to it. Meaning where I went, I didn't have, that wasn't my credential. I went somewhere else. You wasn't clear to go in there. It was like a food place. I just went gone to the wrong place. Then when I went to the media place immediately it was like, that's you. That's crazy. But it was so fast. I didn't even have to get in front of it all the way. I was just like in the back of the screen and it's like you're clear, you're not clear. Okay. Mine, yours. Lunchbox, you go. Yeah, we've been talking about Stefan Diggs and Cardi B. Yes, the beat. And Offset won a million dollars. Supposedly, Cardi B left the Super Bowl after finding out that Stefan Diggs had brought his ex-girlfriend there. Well, Cardi B went live again, and she wanted to explain why she is single and what she thinks about Stefan Diggs. Wait, what'd she say? Oh, we have a clip. Oh, we have a clip. Okay. Yes, we broke up. After the halftime show, I went straight home. I didn't even stay to watch his game because I was at the Super Bowl for my job, not for him. He had nothing to do with it. From day one, I told Stefan very clearly. If he ever cheated or had another kid while we were together, I was out. That was my line. And he still chose to cross it. Honestly, I even think Stefan is worse than Offset. At least Offset would give me gifts worth, millions, cars, designer bags, checks. But the first birthday I spent with Stefan, he gave me nothing. I regret having a child with him. at the very beginning she says i said he couldn't cheat or have another kid with someone else while she's while they're together yeah yeah yeah yeah well i'd say those are kind of intertwined secondly if you have to have that conversation of i'm not going to stay with you if you have another kid with someone else we're together i don't think you should be together or or accept that it a chance that and if there a good chance he going to get someone else pregnant while you together i think that chance tells you you shouldn be with them yeah but some people think that they the thing that going to change the person He has such a history of nobody changing him Amy, have you ever seen the clip of when he was on the Vikings? No, I don't really know. I haven't. I think it was the Vikings, but they interviewed people in the locker room. Who's the one player you would not want to date your sister? And every player said him. Every player. That's a weird question. They do that. Yeah, it's just like being funny. It's a common bit within locker rooms. It's like, who do you want? Who'd be the person that you would take care of your money? And they all pick somebody. Who do you want to not date your sister? So, yeah, it wasn't just the Vikings or at Stephon Diggs. Got it, got it. That's what they do in locker rooms. Hey, at least offset, though, man. You know, giving those million-dollar gifts. And purses. Bars. And handbags. He did nothing for her birthday? Nothing? Yeah, that sucks. Sounds like a sucky dude. Sounds like a loser. Eddie? All right, this is weird. But there's a mom who, she got arrested. She's accused of putting feces in her child's IV when she was at the hospital. She wanted the kid to stay sick. Okay. See, I read this and I'm like, I have no idea why a mom would do this. Yeah, it's kind of like the Munchausen syndrome where if they stay sick, you are the subject of everybody's well wishes. So you like the attention. I'm assuming. Yeah, well, they have no reason why she did this yet. She's gotten arrested. They have surveillance footage of her going to the restroom and coming out with a cup and then messing with her IV and putting the waste inside the child's IV. Oh, my gosh. Which I read this, and I'm like, I don't understand any of this. Or sympathy, man. Or they love the attention. That's mostly what that Munchausen syndrome is. Whoa. It's like they're getting attention either for themselves or for their kid, and both have been major news stories with people, and so they continue it. But if you put, like, poop in someone's veins in, like, their bloodstream, like, that just— It could kill them. I feel like that's way worse than keeping them sick right? That does keep them sick Yeah, it causes something and then the doctors are trying to figure out Had you heard of this before? That story, no So hold on, there was video? Yeah, they had surveillance of the hospital room I guess they're monitoring Are they videoing in your hospital room? In the room They may have also been allowed to video because they went to a judge and said we think this is happening can we now record well yeah because I'm like I don't think they can just generally have video again I'm doing a lot of assuming even with Eddie's story I heard it went Munchausen syndrome yeah I did too yeah because it didn't say that but that's why I brought it up because like I just have no idea and there's no explanation why she did this but so I mean that makes sense to me I guess but and then I would think if something keeps happening to the kid and that's unexplainable and someone goes I think the mom may be doing this we need to film it I think they would get basically a warrant Okay. It's not really a warrant. What's wrong with the camera in the hospital room? Lots of things. You can't have a camera in the bathroom. It's like what's wrong with the camera in the bathroom? I just thought a hospital room is like everyone's clothed and they're just- You're not always clothed. You're not always clothed. Really? No. And you have family in there. You could be having very personal private conversations. Oh, but you know what though? I remember when my dad was in the hospital, there was a camera there just for the nurses to watch him if they weren't in there. Oh, like a baby camera? Yeah. Yeah, something like facing the bed. I remember that. I mean. That definitely could be it if a person is having. They get up in fall. Yes. If they're sick for a reason that they would need to be monitored. Sure. Yeah. But you can't just put a camera in somebody's hospital room. And you don't know it. Unless there's a specific reason. Which it could be the condition that they're in. Sure. But if I go in for. Yeah my tonsil taken out. You don't want a camera. They're not putting a camera in there to watch me. Right. Yeah. Well anyway I thought that was weird. It's crazy how a parent could do that to their kid. So crazy. And that maybe. Do you think maybe like a GoFundMe. Like if there's a GoFundMe for the baby, they just keep him sick? Or for the kid? I don't know if there's a GoFundMe. I just hear Munchausen because we've heard of people doing that before. Morgan. Well, do you want a good story or are we continuing? Let's go with the, yeah, we're hitting. Well, I have good. I have one of each. Give me the good. Okay, so Winter Olympics. I talked to you guys about Breezy Johnson. She was one of the downhill skiers. She won gold and then she ended up competing again, but she crashed out and didn't get it. But right after the crash out, she got proposed to. She's now engaged. I wonder if he was going to propose regardless or he keeps the ring. It didn't work. I got to lift her up. She had a crash on it. Now's the time to go. Lift her up. Yeah. And then do you second guess if you were going to do it at the end, if she won or she finished, do you go, she just crashed out. Do I still propose? I would question that. Yes. Because it's like, oh, I need to let her feel these feelings right now. And yeah, it seems like maybe it's not the right time. unless it's the exact right time because they're crash hours. Right. But the Olympics is such an emotional thing for them, right? I know, and they've been working so hard for it. You work your whole life for this, and then he's like, hey, will you marry me? Yeah, there are football players that do that, though. They'll propose at the end of their own game, the end of bowl games that's happened before. I don't know. I'm not going to judge somebody for their decision because they know the person, but I wonder if he was dead set on doing it regardless, if he was thinking, I don't know, I'll keep it with me just in case then she crashes like no I need to do it now to lift her up uh no he said that he was doing it no matter what and that he had a plan b if she got seriously hurt if she crashed on her run it's plan b not to do it because she's in the hospital yeah what's the plan b I don't know it just said he I guess they were on one of the morning shows today's show whatever and he said uh when she crashed I was freaking out like oh my gosh is she okay and then she got up and then I started freaking out like going oh my gosh I'm about to propose again but don't worry I did have a plan B if she was seriously hurt. Yeah. And I couldn't do plan A. Got it. What was your bad one? My bad one was about, okay. Well, it's about obviously the hearing that happened yesterday and Pam Bondi. I'll watch it. Made me want to freaking jump to a window. And what? Horrible. Pam Bondi? Who's that? Attorney General. Are you watching the news? I don't have television or internet, guys. I don't have anything. I have no idea what's going on. I just saw it on my phone. I watched it on my phone. Literally don't have anything. He's on that Cardi B beat, though. Yeah. He is. Yeah, how do you have Cardi B new? It doesn't matter. Go ahead. But really, it's about what people are describing as the burn book. So there was certain representatives who went in and viewed a lot of the Epstein files, and they're the ones who were talking at the hearing. Unredacted. Yes, it's supposed to be. And so there's this burn book, though, that apparently Pam Bondi had, and it shows everything that they were looking up in that room. So she knows every single file that they pulled, which means she's surveilling what they're surveilling if you will. It's basically like they're watching each other do everything. Yeah, all the victims are there. Yeah. Behind her. It's pretty powerful but she wouldn't turn around to look at them. She just screamed at the stock market. It's a bad look. It's real bad. I thought that was AI at first. That's how bad I thought it was. When I was watching the clips I was like this has to be AI. That can't be real. I know it was real. I know. I did see Donald Trump cross over LeBron James though in an AI video that made me laugh out loud. I saw that too. That looked really real. Dude, he's got moves. They were like new Chinese company creates AI that looks so real. Even I, who I have a pretty good eye for AI because I use it so much. I was like, that's as real as can be. He crossed over LeBron. Broke his ankle. There's a guy, his name is Jason Snape. And so he found a postcard in his mail from a former college professor and it read, if you're reading this, I'm dead and I liked you. Don Glickman a design professor who died in November at age 94 had asked his daughter to send over 100 of these postcards to his favorite students after he had died so all these students that he really liked in his class he liked teaching as soon as he died he had his daughter send out all the cards okay and the ones he didn't like it's like I liked you like you were a good student okay at first my brain when you first said it I thought he was sending out cards like I liked you no it was like to 100 kids that he enjoyed teaching that's so cool of all ages I love that Glickman came up with the idea while in home hospice and designed the card himself. A photo of it went viral on social media, getting more than 1.5 million views from spokesmen. Reminds me a little bit. There was a coach in North Carolina who, when he died, sent money for a meal for all his players that he's ever coached. That's cool. Yeah. That's a good one there. Man, I got on Facebook and one of my professors, like, for the last, like, month, he's been posting, like, every year. You know, like, he's been teaching for, I don't know, like, 30 years. and every year he's like, ah, this is a group of pictures that I found in my closet over this year. And I'm like, dude, not one of me. And like, I used to be with him all the time. Like, all the time. I worked the news, I ran camera, I ran radio station, everything. And like, I'm not in one picture. Kind of got my feelings hurt. He went through all of them. But what's cool, like, oh man, there's so-and-so. Like, oh wow, there's so-and-so. I haven't seen them in forever. That's so cool. My wife's been calling me boomer because I've kind of gotten back into Facebook because somehow it's on my phone now. I don't know how I told you guys. It just logged in on my phone. And so now I look at it a little bit. Facebook is really stupid because they put up the most garbage AI all the time. It's all these pages. I saw one where Luke Bryan got in a fight with Joy Behar on The View. It's always people, country artists fighting people on The View. They're like, Luke Bryan tells her, you do not insult country music. It's all fake. And then people are in the comments like, attaboy, Luke. Like, believing it. It's such garbage. and there's always fake movies that are being made on Netflix it's like Netflix just signed the Blake Shelton story and Austin Butler's playing Blake Shelton they got Austin Butler up people are like I can't wait for this it's the epitome of slop other than that it's just kind of fun Facebook feeds you the really good ads I gotta say like the ones perfect for you yeah they really know and my wife saw me on Facebook she's like why are you on Facebook boomer and I happened to be on the Bobby Buncho page I wasn't going through the comments but I happened to be on the page because I was seeing how some of our stations were putting up pictures of the Bobby I was just looking at that and so are you a boomer because you're on Facebook baby boomer just on Facebook and that's who's on Facebook it seems like so I kind of got back into Facebook though they've been giving me good ads too there's like an umbrella I've been talking about getting an umbrella for my back so I can cover my grills and like I've gotten 50 ads of really cool umbrellas. I'm like, dang, they're so good. I have one from Elwood Clothing, which I do buy Elwood T-shirts that just popped up. I'm looking at an ad now. I have Thomas Rhett Aikens and the Grand Ole Opry post. Look, I have a bunch of baseball cards. It's good ads. What's the Thomas Rhett? What's going on there? Is he just playing? Thomas Rhett and his dad, Rhett Aikens, performed at the Grand Ole Opry tonight as part of the Conservation Aid Benefit Concert. and it's a clip of them playing and talking. Fake. No, that's right. But yeah, and here's one. It's like a Wrigley Field Cub sign that has digital you can do yourself. Oh, that's cool. But yeah, the ads are kind of- Like to buy? Like you can buy that sign and- And put in it what you want to put in it. The ads are top notch. Luke Combs released his 22 song track list.

In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. A nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Letby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level if the British establishment of this is wrong.

Do you see those underwear they're making that can tell by your fart if you're sick or not? Mm-hmm. I mean, yeah. It's kind of cool. I'm like, how though? From flatulence. The smell? Different smell? No, it's not the smell. It's what's in the air. No. It's what's in the air and the particles that are in that that it's able to measure. Do you know that, it's kind of gross, but I promise it's not too gross. But did you know that if you do that many times in your underwear, you can burn a hole through it? What? Because of the gas? Really? Yeah. That's cool. Did you know that? I did. Does YouTube just say that on Facebook? Nope. Nope. You sure wasn't AI? It's not in my house, man. It was crazy. I've had this underwear for a long time. But if that's the case, that's probably just a stress point of your underwear. No, dude. It's perfectly right there. Yeah, but when you sit down, that's the stress point of your underwear. So this is your underwear. You got a hole. Oh, my God. I think I burned a hole through that thing. No, that's the stress point of your underwear. You sure? Yeah. That's where your butt kind of stretches the most. Oh. Is that middle spot right there. Okay. All right. I thought it was a fart. A six-year-old girl breaks the national record of Girl Scout cookies by selling over 75,000 boxes. Wow. A Pittsburgh six-year-old sold more than 75,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, single year record. She couldn't find a troop. And then she joined the Girl Scouts with the help of her dad. And her cookie sales grew exponentially after a video of her went viral on social media. Yeah, I felt like it was something like that. What do you get if you sell that many Girl Scout cookies? Because you get little treats every level, right? Like an umbrella, this treat. Got to, right? Or a patch. Man, that's cool. I don't know. I only made it up to a brownie. And I know they have camps where you get a discount if you sell a certain amount. What does the money go to? The Girl Scouts. Just like... Yeah, I think they do a lot of activities and they give back a lot too. So I think it just goes into the Girl Scout fund. Who knows what's happening with that money. scholarships I think oh speaking of like not of that exactly Pablo Torres dad yeah man in that like it's sort of feeling like we don't really know anything and everyone's lying to us so I saw someone talking about how just for your mental health like anything you see on the news or anything anywhere just mentally tell yourself the word maybe after so like see it whatever it is and then just internally make maybe your mantra. Because like maybe. That way you don't get so like hooked on one way or the other that it's like actually fact because we're being fed so many lies. I see it. I go partial. This is the partial truth. They're not giving it to us all because we have no idea and it's way worse than this. That could be another way. That was not meant for your mental health. That's the opposite. Partial. I just feel like nobody tells us anything. Amy is convinced Eddie's not paying for the Valentine's dinner tonight? There's no chance. Why? Zero percent. Oh, well. For my wife, though, right? For my wife. Well, you're not going to just pay for your wife and have me pay for you. Because you didn't know. No, what I'm saying is I would pay for my wife and like that, like half of the dinner. Yeah, I just don't think. Not the whole dinner. I wouldn't pay for Bobby and his wife. Why, though? I pay for yours all the time. Because if it's Valentine's, I think your wife would be okay with it. No, no, she'd be fine with it. Of course she would be fine with it. If you paid for all, if tonight you said, Oh, boy. guys there's no way there's not a chance in the world possibly though they don't drink they don't do you might do like the wallet grab i do the wall the wall grab all the time oh i forgot in the car hey dude let me get this one okay you got it all right here's the deal if you go to the wallet grab tonight i will let you get it for real yeah the whole thing for all four of us if you want to go to and he's gonna be like i'll have water i'm gonna tell my wife don't order anything. I'm paying tonight. If you want to go to the person who's seating us or the server, even behind the scenes, and hand them your card, do a little trick, how about it? And then it comes and it's already paid? I'd have no problem with that. My pride will not be hurt. What if we do a little credit card roulette? That'd be fun. I would do that, but that's not the point of it. The point is for you just to take it, to not have a chance. But if I did it, I'm going to do it loudly and be like, Caitlin, don't worry, I got this. Don't worry, this is on me, guys. Happy Valentine's Day. But now's not the right time. Now's not the right time. Sort of like a kidney. He's not going to do it. What do you mean? He'll talk about it, but he's not going to do it. No, like Bobby doesn't drink, so his meals aren't too expensive. I'll tell my wife not to drink. Caitlin's not drinking. I'll get water. It'd be great. And I pay for dinner. Sounds like you're taking your four kids out. Just waters, guys. I would not have a problem if you decided you wanted to pay for all four. All right. I'll say that now. But why is Amy saying that? What made you think that? We've been talking about it, and I just came to the conclusion, I just don't think it's going to happen. So if we could bet on it, my money is on Bobby paying. Okay, well, that's dumb, because then I'll just pay just so you don't win. Do I bet too? I bet I'll pay for it. Okay, I'll bet you $10. $500, I pay for it. Who's taking that bet? Oh my God, Bobby will rent up that bill. He will order everything on the media. I call and pay for it ahead of time just so Eddie would never have the chance if you guys need that bet. Oh man, that is next level. Let's see. So you're going to pay, Eddie? We'll see. TBD? Lunchbox wants to know why our company is so dumb. Why don't you do this? No, no, no. Our company has just, they're just stupid. I don't know what's going on, but all of a sudden they are putting up stanchions all around our building. Like, oh, I can't walk that way. Oh, you got to go around the other way. All because there's people having a meeting in our conference room. It's like we can't walk by. It's crazy if we have to go to the bathroom and they see another human in the hallway. Can't go that way. I thought this was for a different reason. It's not that. I thought it was for them so they didn't walk by our studio. Oh, no, it's for us. Oh, it's for us. See, what I thought is you don't want to walk by. Lunchbox doesn't want to walk by that conference room. It's clear. It's glass. You can see through it. And on the board is written, get rid of Lunchbox. They don't want to see that. They don't want Lunchbox to see that. What if it's stuff like that? Eddie and Lunchbox don't need to be on the show. They wouldn't do it out in the open like that. Well, maybe they would if they know you're not walking by. Because I went to the bathroom the other morning and I said hi to the girl at the front desk and a light bulb went off her in her head like, oh, I forgot to put the stanchions up. So when I came back from the bathroom, she had the hallway blocked off. Are you the reason they're putting up these velvet ropes? Is it you? Because you go in and eat the food? There wasn't even food out there. Yes, there was. there's been food yeah I just think that they're having meetings and it's a distraction we can walk other ways so I think they're trying to direct us to go the back ways so we don't disrupt the meetings because honestly it is kind of crazy how there's radio shows going on in multiple rooms and some people outside this door are so loud some people they yell that's what I'm talking about and these idiots are just screaming out in the hallway Lunchbox. Me, it's Lunchbox. But you too. Yeah, but it's like, no, multiple people can be so loud. And I'm like, it's just interesting that that's just never taken into consideration. So I think that, along with the disruption of having people walk past the glass, it's like, let's just keep this area quiet and more private for this meeting. I thought it was to keep people from walking by our studios. No. No, I don't think it's for us. No, man. It's for them. I think it's for them. And I think it makes sense. I was told, though, it wasn't us that they were trying to keep out. Of course. I heard that it was other people in the building. Like what other people? No, they just said like, it's not for you guys. Of course they're going to say that. That's what they're telling everybody. They're trying to be nice. Yeah. It's like, come on, man. Do we really need stanchions? If we had to guess, it's definitely for us. Yeah. He goes and eats the food of people that don't even work in this building. Like they'll lease out, rent out the office space and they'll have food and he'll just go and eat their food. People don't even work here. Well, it's a lot of leftovers. A lot of food not getting eaten. But you don't know it's not going to get eaten because you don't know what they're going to do with it. I don't like waste. But it's not wasted yet. Yeah, I'm just saying, it's pretty stupid to put up stanchions so we can't go to the bathroom. It's like, oh, no, we can't go that way. Just go the other way. I've never not been to the bathroom. Yeah, instead of going left, go right. And then you go to the first hallway to the right. Oh, stanchions, got to go to the next hallway. Bobby, you don't go to the bathroom. I know, but if I do, like this morning, I peed. The stanchions weren't up? I don't know. I just thought they were people from us, and I'm like, well, I'll go through this. I haven't thought much about it. Amy wants to get an investment agreement with Lunchbox. Oh, I have it written up. Or typed up. You want out? No, not yet. Uh-oh, she's serious. Not yet. Is that a contract? Yes. Are you really about to read that whole paper? No, I'm not going to read it at all. You can read it and choose if you want to sign it. I'm not going to read it. But it's an agreement between us. Because we should have done this from the beginning when we started handing you money. which I'm fine with. I think it's fun that we have this. Well, you're turning it not fun. I just want a monthly update of what's happening with our money. And then if I choose to pull my money out, I have how many business days you have to get it to me. So that's not like Bobby's situation where... Last weeks. I tried to get it to Bobby. I brought it and he wasn't here. I already spent my money. What'd you spend it on? Something special. What? I paid off a bet. I lost a bet. And that wasn't even all of it. I lost like $2,000. Oh, my. Yeah. Okay. Well, so you can read over this and sign it. Launchbox sounds pretty standard, dude. Just so you have it. Because I have no control. I gave you this money. You have it invested. And you could do whatever you want. And I don't know. And this just helps protect both of us. But why would he sign that? Yeah, there's no need for me to sign that. Like, why would he sign that? I'm just asking you why you think he would just voluntarily sign something that has no advantage. But there's also no discipline. I mean, it's been working the way it is. we don't need to complicate things. Accountability is good for everybody. That way he knows like he can pay me my investment if I choose to withdraw it or if something happens and he decides to take it out and there's a payout. Like I need to make sure that I'm taken care of. You do but there is no reason that he's going to feel he needs to sign the contract. There's nothing for him. Okay if he doesn't want to sign it then I'll just take my money out. Boom. There we go. Now there's a reason for him to sign it. That's leverage. But the problem is he won't give you his money. Your money. What do you mean I won't? No, he needs to. He doesn't have it right now. I know he doesn't have it right now, but I'll give him five business days. Okay. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. That's not true. Okay, you don't want to just still do this together and have fun and just sign this? No, you're trying to make it all complicated with a contract. It's not complicated. No, no, no, no, no. You even got a lawyer to type you up something. No. Or your boyfriend. No, I googled it. my boyfriend, trust me, did not take time to work on this. It says Lunchbox signature down here at the bottom and mine. Amy, what'd you do? Did you Google contract? Yeah, investment agreement. Yeah, that's cool. And then I just put the date, parties, the investment capital. Sounds pretty standard. Monthly reporting and transparency is all I'm asking for. And then a disbursement. Monthly reporting. She wants a full report from Lunchbox on the performance of the stock. we would never sometimes we would forget we had this investment with him and we'd be like oh and he'd be like oh let me go get out my phone and like i'd rather him just like be paying attention to it once a month or you could just look at the stock and say oh navidea is up today okay cool i bought a bunch whenever we put it in with him so i could monitor it myself to see where it was so that's how i kept track of it yeah i just thought this could be fun lunchbox ah yeah i'm not really into signing contracts like are you officially saying you want your money out in five Yeah, if he can't sign this, then I need the money. And that's a bummer because I thought he would sign this. And it could be fun. Nah. Hey, have you talked to your neighbor that may sue you? Yeah, there is good news on that front, guys. I will not be getting sued. I saw her walking the dog, arm in a sling. And I said, hey, so how are you? She said. You went out and just pursued the how are you? Yeah, because every time I see her walking the dog, I'm like, man, is she walking by my house? like thinking i'm gonna sue this guy and i said you know like what exactly happened and she was like well my dog saw a squirrel and kind of yanked and then i slipped on the ice and uh i went to the urgent care they gave me a little cast but it was still hurting and she went in she had surgery on her wrist so she has plates and like screws in there yikes and i said oh um well like you're not like planning to sue are you said that yeah i gotta ask man god i mean the the living with the thought of them showing up at my door to say you've been served just kind of freaked me out and so she's like no no no no it was my fault you know what i mean i should have been more careful and kept the dog a little tighter and not let him chase the squirrel i was like that's all i had to hear have a great day you sent her on her way you didn't care anymore that was it that's all i didn't need to talk to her anymore but i am not getting sued man i thought you would at least like like record her and be like so are you saying it's the dog's fault why you fail and then record that just i didn't think about that no liability to me right is that what you're saying say that one more time a little bit louder yeah i didn't even think about the impression of you you would just talk yeah oh yeah oh you guys were making fun of me yeah No, we're just doing your voice. I didn't get it. I glad she not suing you Good for you Yeah feels good Can believe I lost a business partner today You don have to Just sign it You could literally take the same money and put it right back in at the same rate Everything the same But your profit won't be the same. Well, she'd be able to buy that because of the profit that she made. Right, but she would be back to even instead of up $2,000. No, she wouldn't be even because she's made money with what she started with. Right, but she would go back in and the stock, she would have zero profit in the stock. The new stock. She would be at zero profit. You'd still be at profit from what you put in initially with your money. You'd still be up that amount and you'd still own the same amount that you'd be taking out. Yeah. That's not how I saw this going. You thought he'd sign it? You thought he would just be like, I'll sign something with no benefit to myself? Amy, you know him. it's just a respectable agreement we should have put together at the beginning no no no my word is a respectable agreement did you say crap all the time I'm like oak my word is like oak strong Jerry Maguire is that in Jerry Maguire I'm so proud of you that is so good because oak's a strong wood I'm so glad that I can't believe you got that you know what happens He ends up not being, his word is worth nothing. That was so impressive that she got that. Has your algorithm showed you the new sport where the two men run at each other? No. So there's a new sport. I wish. Where they literally, there's no ball. They just slam at each other as hard as they can. It's basically called run it straight. Is this for real? It's real. A sport where? Australia? Yeah. It's always like Australia or New Zealand. Do they have padding on? No. No. No. Australia's Run Nation Championship is a new contact sport where two people sprint at each other full speed and slam head-on trying to knock the other person down. Medical experts warn that collisions can cause serious brain injuries with one neurologist calling for a ban of the entire thing. Oh, yeah. The sport's second event recently sold out a almost 6,000-seat arena in Sydney. And they run, I'm talking notepads, just shorts, and just slam. And it's like, who can stay up? They're big dudes, though, Amy. Big dudes. It's like rugby players. Yeah. it looks like that type of thing. Okay, so I was picturing like Usain Bolt, like sprinting. No, it's not really. Speed helps, but mostly it's about the girth of the human body. Gotcha. With the speed. A skinny guy would die. Well, that's what I had in my head was like sprinters. Now they're big meaty dudes. Okay. All right, we'll show you a clip here. If you're watching on YouTube, you'll be able to see this. A waddle. A what? Like a waddle run. No, you go as fast as you can. I know, but like if you're a big guy. Here we go. Ready? Oh. They do have a ball. Yeah, the ones I was watching, they didn't have a ball. Oh my gosh. The ones I was watching too were outside. I haven't seen this arena. Oh. Yeah, they're killing each other. Oh my. Oh. Oh my gosh. Was there a ball in that one? Yeah, he fumbled. I wonder if that's part of it, trying to make him fumble. How do you get... How do you become the person holding the ball? And then there are these dudes doing it at home. But see, they don't have a ball, right? Or does one guy have a ball there? Yeah, they have balls. Great, kids are going to start doing this. This is just begging for a concussion. Yeah, this is problematic. The world's dumbest sport. Whatever. This kind of reminds me of the slap competitions where they slap each other in the face. I don't like watching those. I don't understand that one, though. Like, okay, you can take a slap better than someone else. Like, how do you control that? Well, you have a chin, but you also are good at hitting. you're just born with a chin that can take a hit but it's also the hitting as well but yeah no it seems stupid to me too but people make a lot of money that's connected to UFC right? same owners I think right? does TKO own that or is Dana White a part of that? I think Dana is just a part of it because TKO owns WWE and UFC oh really? mm-hmm can you get stock in that? TKO? I think it's a public trade company because I think we bought some. I love everything they do. Did we buy some of that? Yeah, we did. Do we have money? We have other money in there? Oh my gosh, your money's still in there? Wait, do we have money in that? Yeah. Dude, you need a contract. Yeah, exactly. Bones, you need a contract. I also need... I didn't even remember that. I have... How much do we have in that? Like $100. It's gone up. Like $100? No, really, that's what we put in, I think. We each put in $100? or we put in collect... You imagine if you went to one of these companies and you're like, how much money do I have in this? They're like, I don't know, like a hundred. I don't know, I think. Give or take. Why do you get offended by this, Lunchbox? It's just true. It's okay for her to try to get a contract. I didn't get offended. I'm looking up to see if Power Slap is owned by TKO. That was all I was doing. Well, next, will you look up our TKO? What do you want to know about it? What would you think we wanted to know about it? I don't know. Wait, do we have any other investments? That's the problem. Power Slap is owned by UFC owner Dana White. So it doesn't have to be a TKO property, but it looks like he does own that. Shame on us. I don't like that one. Bare Knuckle Fighting, that's kind of cool. I've been watching that. I do not like that. But I think people would feel the same way about that that you do about Slap. like why are you doing this it's a bare knuckle yeah you're just getting hit and hitting but it's just to me the bare knuckle feels like it's just two dudes like all right it's just us and our dukes you know like no gloves no kicking no nothing and it's i don't know it's cool but in bare knuckle you could probably not get hit as well if you're really good yeah yeah slapping you just are going to take a shot and there's no padding on the fist you know so like if you hit It hurts you too. Lunchbox, what do we got? Oh, yeah. I must be like a guru at investing because it's up 101% since we got it. Okay. What do we have in there? Market value is $229.10. Okay. I'd like to have that. I'd like to have my third. You want to pull out again? Yeah. Yeah. Why I considered that your taxes. Fair enough. Keep that. That's really why I did it. I was like, I can't calculate taxes, so I figure $30 seems good. Wait, hold on. Also, it's more than $30. Yeah, because 30 times 3 would be 90. Under $100. You're trying to do 30% in Lunchbox? Is that what it is? Oh, I was thinking about what we put in. I guess you're right. It would have been $60. It's over $200, right? Well, now it is. Today, I mean, it's been up. The last week, it's gone up a bunch of money. You can keep my TKO money, and we're clear on taxes. Sure. But what other ones do you have in there? Dude, I don't know. That's why he's just like, what? Oh, yeah, I forgot. So no more. No more. All right. Do we have any other in there with you? No, we bought the one with Ray that went down. So we have another one. Well, yeah, it's negative like $30. Yeah, but there's still money in it that we own. It's not minus 30 where we owe it 30 more dollars. What was it called? Academy. Oh, yeah, we have Academy. $17 worth. Wait, wait. You just said you don't have anything else and now you've named two. That wasn't a good one. We lost a dollar. You guys might have a bunch in there. Hey, I'm telling you, Ray told me to buy Royal Caribbean. It is by far my highest. No chance. What is it? It's not as high as Navidia. Navidia's 90%. But Bobby's not in Navidia anymore. Yeah, I am. I have it over here too. I can show you. Yeah, he bought it. I bought it at the same rate. So where's... This is not a good time to get in on Royal Caribbean now. I can show you. I'll pull it off my phone. Royal Caribbean is... Here's the difference. Let me see. I can do... Royal Caribbean for the same amount I've made plus 1,500 and NVIDIA I've made plus 1,300. But what's the percentage? Yeah! What percentage did it go up in that time? That's what matters. This isn't to be a competition. Hey, good job, broker. That sounded good. see i know my stocks you sound like you knew what you're talking about percent change nvidia uh plus 0.3 royal caribbean plus 0.71 no that's not right it's 90 percent nvidia since we bought it is up 90 percent i'm just telling you what's on my app here. We've had a 90% return on our money with NVIDIA. In the week, Royal Caribbean's almost up 1%. NVIDIA's down 0.5%. In the month, NVIDIA's down 0.62. Royal Caribbean's up 0.71. In three months, Royal Caribbean's up 0.76. NVIDIA's down 0.61. Year-to-date, Royal Caribbean's up 0.7. NVIDIA's up down 0.56. No, it's outperforming NVIDIA in all ways. Okay. Here you go. Okay. Look, all time. What's not about it? Royal Caribbean up 857% plus 857%. NVIDIA plus 74%. So almost close to 100. But Royal Caribbean is up 857%. Wow. Big difference. Big difference, yeah. Huge. hey Ray you should do this man yeah I mean there's other ways to do it I'm still learning you should do what? stock trading yeah like be a day trader you do though right Ray? no I mean it's not buying and selling there's also things called margins where you get premiums but I'm still learning it is so complicated and if you don't know what you're doing you can lose a lot of money Ray's favorite movie is Wolf of Wall Street like other than the illegal stuff Ray wants to be that dude It's up 856% since I bought it, since you told me to buy it. When did you buy it? In 2020? Right after the pandemic. Because right now he's like, buy Royal Caribbean. I remember that. That was literally my buddy who works at Costco, and he goes, now I'm honestly considering retiring. So whatever you made, he made equally that much. What was his inside working at Costco? He lives there. He's down there in Fort Lauderdale. He sees all the boats go in. He goes, they're still going out during the pandemic. This is going to boom afterwards, and it did. There you go. All right. We're done. Everybody, thank you. Amy, I'd get your money back if I could. If I would, if I could. It wasn't how I was expecting it to go, but I guess if he doesn't sign it, I need to stick with the fact that... He said tomorrow. Yeah, he said. Yeah, you can have your money tomorrow. Hey, GoPro's down 62% though, Ray. Tell me to buy that one. Yeah. I mean, maybe with this video stuff in the news, GoPros will become more popular. Get more footage of these crimes, maybe. Or the Olympics, Ray. Like, you know, those helmet cams? Those GoPro helmet cams? That as well. Did y'all see the Ukrainian Olympian that... The helmet thing? Yeah. Yeah, he didn't, like you work that hard as an Olympian and then he had athletes or I don't know if they were Olympians or just Ukrainian athletes that had died in the war. And he had them on his helmet and he was like, I'm racing in this helmet. And they're like, if you're racing that helmet, you're disqualified. So he's like, yes, I'm disqualified. Yeah, he's out. Oh, dang. I was like, wow. I was like, would I do that? I think I would. I don't know. Put the helmet on, they say, but underneath, right before I went, I'd peel it off. Yeah. And then I'd have all my friends on there. What was it, stickers? No, it was a paint. It was a painted helmet, right? Yeah, or a sticker. Yeah, it looked like, yes, either painted on or stuck on the various people. Like 20 of them. All is like dead. Fallen buddies. Yeah. All right. So he didn't even get to race. No, he pulled out. Oh, I thought he was on the medal stand. No, that's why I was asking myself. dang would I go through all that to finally make it to the Olympics and then that'd be my stance I understand that yeah and I'm like wow that takes a lot and then I did wonder about his fallen friends if they would be like mad at him unless they called his unless he they called his bluff and he's like well crap now I have to get out sure like I'm out if you don't let me and they're like no we're not letting you oh crap yeah all right that's it we'll see you guys tomorrow goodbye Bye, everybody.
