Bobby introduces a lighthearted debate on whether the action film "Die Hard" qualifies as a Christmas movie, contrasting it with traditional Christmas classics.

[Amy]

You get your podcasts. It's time for the Bobby Bones post show.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's your host, Bobby Bones. I want to start with today with doing a couple of Raymundo's greatest hits bits that he sent in that we should do that we didn't get to on the show because I think they need more space. There's some nuance, and nuance isn't great for having to do somewhat fast segments. Ray wants to give props to all the parents, but for different reasons. And you want to, like, nominate a parent of the year from this show?

[Amy]

Yeah, I got to experience Lunch. Eddie and Amy, we were going to the CMA Awards and see, like, their parenting styles and how they do business.

[Bobby Bones]

Because they all took their kids.

[Amy]

Well, Lunch didn't, but he still did some parent stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, then who do you. Who would you like to start with?

[Amy]

Well, I'm going to start with Eddie because Eddie brings his kid. I don't know how old he was. He was four or five, but he's very young and he's nine. And we were at an adult environment, an adult vehicle. We're all going to an adult event. And he kept saying, kids here, kids here. So we couldn't talk, we couldn't swear. There was no music in the car. Kids here, kids here. It's just. It was just an odd spot to put his kid in. And then also us as well.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you guys, like, watching porn or something?

No, they were just cursing a lot. Like, even when we got home.

But who cur. Amy doesn't. I mean, Amy, it was Ray and Lunchbox. Those two cursed like crazy. Why would you put your kid in a car with them?

Well, that was the Uber ride. So we just jumped in with them. And then when we got home, my wife was like, how did it go? He's like, it was great. But Ray and Lunchbox, they say a lot of bad words.

First thing you said, I think I would probably throw a kid in the car, not curse. First and foremost, I would go, there's a kid here. I'm not going to curse. Second of all, you know, you know what they're like. But.

But I told them, guys, kids in the car, please just keep that in mind.

What's your fault here, Amy?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I feel like the Eddie could have ridden with us because in our car was a little more low key. So small girls, you could have done that. So that's on you. And then for the guys, it's a three minute car ride.

[Bobby Bones]

Just don't say the F word.

You can do that?

Yeah, I think a little bit. I look at the guys and go, you don't have to say the F word. There's a kid around. You can have a bit of restraint. But I think both are at fault. Why would you put your kid in the car with them?

That was just the ride, man. I don't know.

Ray, any thoughts on that?

[Amy]

Well, I was just gonna say, so Eddie wasn't my favorite parent. So then I move over.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I hear you, but I'm saying, any thoughts on you guys not being able or were you just like in the moment and you weren't really thinking about there being a. I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

They were loud and celebratory.

[Amy]

I was about to say that it was a big celebration. So there's gonna be some of those moments where you drop an F bomb, but it's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, go ahead. Next up.

[Amy]

Yeah. And so the lunchbox. I move over to lunch. He didn't have his kid with us, but he's kind of the parent where he's. He almost shames people that don't have kids. So there was a girl there. We get to the. The food part of it, and they're gonna say, hey, when you guys go downstage, you can't bring your kids. And so lunch is under the impression that if you have a kid, kids can do whatever they want because they're kids. So the lady says, hey, you're gonna need a chaperone or you're gonna need somebody to escort these kids somewhere else. They're not gonna be on stage at the CMA Awards. And lunch goes, can you believe it? The kid. It's a. The worst of kids gonna go. They can't take care of themselves. Well, I mean, you guys brought them. It probably wasn't the place to bring a kid to, but he's. He's a big kid, non kid, parent, shamer thing that has going on in his head where if you don't have a kid, that kids. It's free range, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

If you have a kid, they should be able to do whatever they want.

[Amy]

Yes. And so that wasn't my favorite. If lunch has a comeback on that one.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yeah, no, no.

[Eddie]

She told Eddie's kid he was gonna have to go back outside and wait in line with the general public.

[Bobby Bones]

She did.

[Eddie]

And I was like, no, that's not good.

[Bobby Bones]

She looked at my son and said, okay, well, you guys are gonna be able to Go on stage, but he's gonna have to go around front and just wait with everyone else.

[Eddie]

And I was like, why can't he just sit in the chairs while we're standing there on the stage? Like, it's like five feet away. But he's not gonna do anything. He just sits in a chair.

[Bobby Bones]

Why didn't you say this? Why was he saying it?

Because he's just louder.

[Lunchbox]

He was stepping up. But Lunchbox was even gonna give his backstage bracelet to Stevenson. And I was like, no, Lunchbox, you need it. We won an award. You have to be back there. Like, Stevenson will be fine. Don't worry.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I mean, I just wonder why Eddie the dad didn't step forward.

No, I was gonna sneak him in. I literally was like, oh, different plan of attack. Yeah. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, sure, no problem. But I was gonna sne.

That's stylistically who they are as people, too. Interesting enough because Eddie will be like, cool, nice, calm. But, like, sneak stuff, be sly.

I'm not going to listen.

He's going to be like, oh, yeah. So friendly. And. And then Lunchbox just go, nah, overly not for me.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I just don't understand stupidity. Like, it's just a stupid thing to say that his son, who is 9, is going to have to go outside.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, she was young.

Your son's four.

No, he's.

[Eddie]

It doesn't matter. He's back outside and wait in line. It's like.

[Bobby Bones]

And she probably was told that by somebody. And if she was young, she did not probably have the capability to go. Let me again, exhibit some common sense.

Correct.

Oh, that's crazy, though, that she. They wanted your kid to go outside.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

[Amy]

But so Lunchbox. Not my favorite parent. I'm gonna move to my favorite parent, Amy. She brings Stevenson, and he was allowed to talk to all of us. She didn't kind of like, hover over and control the conversation. Lunch is talking, running with him. I'm like, stevenson, what's up, man? What's school like? I'm like, hey, dude, there might be some girls here. Probably not. It's an older crowd. So just heads up on that. Amy didn't care. Talk to Stevenson even though he's in middle school. However, you normally would talk to an adult, which was cool. Then there was another moment. If I was Stevenson, I would love Amy as my mom. Amy totally forgot about him. For 30 to 45 minutes, we're all in the Lexus Lounge chilling, and Amy goes, oh, s. Stevenson. Oh, my God, Stevenson. I forgot about my kid.

[Bobby Bones]

He was.

[Amy]

We hadn't had eyes on him in almost an hour, and she didn't care.

[Lunchbox]

That's not.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd like to hear Amy's response.

[Lunchbox]

I don't even know what he's talking about. I don't. I don't know what he's talking about. There was never a moment where I was like, oh, shoot, where's my son? I knew he was in there. We're in a lounge, like he was. There was a candy bar, an ice cream bar. He's. He came back with his bowl of ice cream. He's like, I'm living my best life. And I'm like, get it?

[Amy]

What do you think?

[Bobby Bones]

You heard?

[Lunchbox]

It's a safe room.

[Amy]

It was. There was kind of a separation between church and state where the kids. The kids couldn't come to the Lexus Lounge. And Amy just wasn't in too much of a hurry to find her kid. She was in the lounge having a great time. And if you're a kid, that's amazing.

[Lunchbox]

He actually did have a Lexus Lounge bracelet, and he was in there. Lunch. I mean, array. Thank you for saying that I am the cool mom and that you like me, but I 100% knew where he said.

[Bobby Bones]

You said, Os, where's my kid?

After an hour of not knowing where.

[Lunchbox]

It was and that I was just in the lounge, not worried about him. No. Stevenson was in the lounge, too, and I knew exactly where he was. He was with all the sweets and candy and living it up stuff in his pockets.

[Bobby Bones]

So would you say this is an example of click bait Ray striking again or no?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe.

[Lunchbox]

No, all of it's pretty accurate, except for he misunderstood. Whatever the. Oh, s. Where's my son?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know where.

[Lunchbox]

But he quoted you, and he said that my son didn't have access to the lounge.

[Bobby Bones]

But he quoted you. Is the part that I'm like, that just is.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that part is off. But you know that. It's like, you know when you're not next to someone and you hear something from across the room? Like, maybe I said, like, oh, shoot, like somebody won.

[Bobby Bones]

You win the award.

[Lunchbox]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

Cool. You're a parent of the show. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I love that they were just talking to Stevens and, like, whatever. I loved when they would, like, do their little cute high five things. Be like, what up, boy? And then, hey, there any girls here? Stevenson's like, I don't really care because I like this girl at school. And, oh, yeah, don't call him out.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't say the girl's name?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be a nightmare.

[Lunchbox]

I almost did.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be a nightmare.

It's funny Ray's angle, though. Ray's angle came from the kid perspective. Like, I like Amy's got the good parenting style because she let him do whatever.

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

He's 14. I don't need to hover over him in the lounge. Like he. You know, it's like you have to have a wristband to get in there. I know he's safe.

[Bobby Bones]

And he didn't like me because I told them to not cuss around my kid. Interesting.

[Eddie]

You had rules for your kid.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I had a little rule.

So Ray wants to be the kid. So in Ray's world, he's the kid and you guys are the parents. Which ones? Hey, you also want to review the. Some pillow? Yeah.

[Amy]

So this is what I got on my Instagram. It's Joe Rogan. He has. It's called Alpha Brain, and this is the ad I got.

[Bobby Bones]

Alpha Brain is one of the most.

[Amy]

Important supplements that I've ever found, ever, in my life, if not the most important one, and the one that I chose.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not a commercial, by the way, so. And Ray's not getting paid for this. Just so everybody knows. Okay, go ahead.

[Amy]

And so that was basically it, and it intrigued me. So I click on the ad, and it was $40 to get this pill that's gonna help you with your brain, and you're supposed to think better and more efficiently and be more productive.

[Bobby Bones]

Will you look up what's in this, Amy?

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Thanks.

[Amy]

And so I got the pill, and they sent it to me, and it was. It was $40 shipping and handling, which is a little bit of a reach for something that's just not going to work. But they got me, so I. I ordered it, and it came in. I actually tried it, and I did it for one day.

[Bobby Bones]

You only did it for one day and you're giving a review?

[Amy]

Well, yeah, I did it. It's just one pill. And then. So you're supposed to.

[Bobby Bones]

40 bucks for one pill?

[Amy]

No, no, no. It's a whole bottle.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Amy]

But you just take one at a time. And I took it, and it was. It was a day where there wasn't a show, so it was like I just needed to be productive and efficient and stuff like that. And, guys, I swear to God, it works. I thought more clearly, I was more creative.

[Eddie]

I don't.

[Amy]

I don't want to necessarily compare it to Adderall, because I have had that before. But it was freaking awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think a little bit. You wanted to have clarity, therefore you had clarity. You. You had the expectation of clarity because of the pills. So you had clarity. Do you think any of that?

[Amy]

Yes. I mean, I believe he does have that working in his favor because I did reach and go get that pill. So you do you put some pressure on your brain to where you do want it to work. And then if you're thinking about the pill in your brain, is that what's kind of making you think better and think in your brain and stuff? Is it just helping you to get more into your mind or is it really working?

[Bobby Bones]

So you only took it for one day, though. You give us that. That review. I mean, one pill.

[Lunchbox]

If you take one Adderall, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I'm saying with one pill, you could just be having a good night's sleep, have eaten a healthy meal. It could be a good morning when you wake up and feel good and go. Also took the pill and feel great.

When we did that smelling salt, man, that changed my day.

It did.

I was very clear.

But like, five days, I feel like is a good. You take it for five days, then you let us know because then you may have some days, maybe you don't feel so good and it helps you. But you're up. You're a thumbs up. It. Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, I did my prep, like, in one day. I did almost a week's worth of prep. I just wanted to keep working and studying and learning.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What are you trying to do?

[Lunchbox]

How many milligrams did you are in a pill? Let's see.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray, did. Ray, did you just take one and that's one and done.

[Amy]

30 capsules. So I got 29 left and yeah, it was just one and done.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, why would you not take another one since then if it was. I don't know.

[Amy]

I didn't want to become addicted to it.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it had every month.

He didn't want to study that hard.

He read too many books.

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it look. I mean, it looks pretty healthy.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think the ingredients are clean.

[Lunchbox]

The L tyrosine, that's in there, it's part of the main blend. And it looks as though that helps your body make like. I don't even know how to say these words.

[Bobby Bones]

It's okay. We're not specialists anyway.

[Lunchbox]

But it can help with brain health, stress relief, cognitive function, which is exactly what he's talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what I mentioned maybe last week I was watching a TikTok, where this guy who runs a casino was like, hey, we have less people coming to the casino because more people are taking Ozempic. And it affects the addiction part of the brain because some. Whatever the. The biology is. This story published Wednesday. A study found that patients diagnosed with alcohol abuse disorder were given GLP1 drug, were likely less hospitalized. The headline is drugs like Ozempic may be better at treating alcoholism for the same reason that guy was talking about the people not coming into the casino as much.

I also saw, too, that fast food's taking a hit because of Ozempic.

That could be hunger, though. But that could be. I mean, that literally could be the reason that, like, people would love fast.

Food, but they're on Ozempic, they're not hungry anymore.

No, but that's why it says it works. Eddie's like, yeah, that's the actual reason. Right, right.

But like, casino for sure. Fast food, too. Taking hits.

I don't think you understand. The medicine is supposed to do what you're saying.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It wasn't known that it was working on the addiction parts of the brain and affecting other parts, like gambling, like impulse type behavior.

Eddie's like, doing what it's supposed to do and these other things. What I'm saying, that's cool.

No, but you compared it to something it's supposed to do.

Fast food. Yes.

Okay.

Anyway, but I did read a story where it said fast food is taking a hit because it was epic.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I think all food.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Slow food, fast food, mid food, all foods.

Okay.

I think all.

I see what you're saying.

Yeah. We were just a little confused where that store. What the pit. Like, what the idea was. Okay, here's. This is from Amy. We should not be answering work emails. Right.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I'm. Listen, I'm not saying this. I was curious your thoughts on it, because this one, like, I don't know, she used to work for Google or something. And I came across this post she put up about, like, don't answer your emails right away. Like, it's unhealthy. Like, you have every right to just take your time with it. And I was like, what? I feel like. I just feel like Bobby would say the opposite of all of this.

[Bobby Bones]

Is this a mental health thing?

[Lunchbox]

Well, it's a work thing. She's a work coach. Like, she's a.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure. But is it a work mental health thing or is it a. You're trying to, like, draw your boundaries with your work.

[Lunchbox]

Probably both.

[Bobby Bones]

So are you looking for the story I have it. Okay, go ahead. And then I'll give you my thoughts at a price.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so first of all she says don't answer them right away. This helps create healthy boundaries. When you stop replying right away, you teach people that you're not available 24 7.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think she's right. Okay, but the caveat is if you're not available. Yes, and my greatest ability is availability. That you want to be successful, be available. Now there is a point where your mental health has to come into play where if you're just so overwhelmed. But if you want to be a great parent or have a great career, there are sacrifices. It does not matter. It's whatever you want to be awesome at, you've got to sacrifice to be awesome at it. If you want to be and have a position where you make more money higher up on your job, you're going to have to answer emails quick. You can set a boundary, but you know what the boundary also is? You're not going to get a promotion as fast there's a boundary going. But I think it's safe and I think if that's your goal, do that. Because she has a great point. But you can't be mad at the same time that you're not getting promoted or not getting a raise.

[Lunchbox]

So she also said this. I do like it reduces overwhelm and if you're doing an immediate response, let's overwhelm. Like if you're feeling overwhelmed and you need to like reply right away, you might not be replying in a way that is more clear headed.

[Bobby Bones]

Like you might triggered or you're like.

[Lunchbox]

Right. Like you know how you like to say like responding. Exactly. So you're in reaction mode. And then if you wait a minute then you might respond which is more professional.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I think for me that this is my problem with that. And I agree. But do as I say, not as I do.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because you fire them off.

[Bobby Bones]

I fire them off for two reasons. One, I don't like red dots. That's a big part of it. Because if I get an email and it's like this needs to be addressed. That mixed with. Oh, you're pissing me off.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a bad mix.

But just click on it and the red dot goes away. That's what I do.

[Lunchbox]

But then you will get to go back to it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I do too.

No, no, no, no. Then I won't.

[Lunchbox]

So it's then he's not available.

[Bobby Bones]

Those ingredients do not mix well. And I have Been. I can't say I'm the victim, except I've to myself. I have been the victim of myself, I will say. And me getting an email from somebody in the company, and I completely disagree with it, and I think it is wildly unfair. And I fire back immediately. One, because I'm efficient. I would have fired back the same at the same speed or rate had it not been something that angered me or irritated me. But mixed in is the irritation. And I'm just like, all right, showtime, baby. Let's go. And if it's happening, why do you not working out? I'm like, showtime. I tell Eddie I'm about to go.

[Lunchbox]

Because your testosterone's all pumped up.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

I don't even know if that's the case.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I just think I react rather than respond at times, probably a little too rapidly.

[Lunchbox]

It builds respect. Like, when people know they can't get an answer instantly, they'll start valuing your time more.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, see, that's what I think. Like, playing hard to get. Sometimes I do that. Like, ooh, I'm gonna make them think, like, ooh, if we can't get a hold of Eddie, like, we can't get this done.

I think that, that again, as long as you're setting that boundary with the boundary that's being set on you, as I can't rely on that person, then that's fine. And people that can't be relied on fully will not be looked at first when it's time for promotions or financial.

What about after hours, though? Like, do they expect the same thing.

At 8pm I don't know who they is.

I, like, say, like, the higher ups.

Again, an expectation is what you've allowed them to set. So if you've allowed them to set it, that means, hey, I'm available. I want to do everything I can do inside of this job to get ahead as fast as I can. That's what the expectation that you've set. And if you set the expectation of I'm not available, they may never go to you, but here. And you may not keep that job.

[Lunchbox]

But you build respect. Though if you set a boundary, you're.

[Bobby Bones]

Playing hard to get, like, I get it, but you're gonna have clearly gonna build so much respect until the point they can't rely on you at all. And you're not gonna. You're not gonna get a raise, you're not gonna get promoted. And if that's not your goal, great. If mental health is your goal and going home and being Healthy and having a balance. That's awesome. And I think that's hard work to have a balance. Everything's hard work. To have no balance, to have balance. Both are hard work.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, she says it also can boost your productivity because if you're constantly interrupted by Bing, going back to an email, bing ba. And you're trying to do something else, you go back to the email. There's like a flow that's happening and you're messing with it. So just like carve out email time or finish that task and then go do the emails.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's fair. I think different people are built different ways. I don't do well in that formula.

[Lunchbox]

You can go working on something being, yes, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And I need to. That's where I think I do best. Here, there. There's fire here. Wipe it out. There's a fire there. Wipe it out. Don't let the fire burn. So I can get to.

[Lunchbox]

But you'll probably go like, your brain will go back to what it is that you were working on. Like my brain. If it's like Bing and I go work on that, then I'm like, oh, oh, there's this other email.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. And I think case by case basis.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And then I'll be like an hour later, was I working on something else?

[Bobby Bones]

But if you're gonna put boundaries and again, the people at your company, wherever you work, they're not your friends, they're not your family, they're probably not gonna be with you in five years. They might be. But if you're going to put, hey, I'm only available at this time, that doesn't mean that they're going to fire you, but it also doesn't mean they're going to look to you first to promote you. And so if you want one, you got to deal with the other. And if you want the other, you got to deal with the one. So it is a if you want it, you have to sacrifice for it world, not just the job, because you can put every boundary and if that's your health, do that. If it's like, I want to be there as a parent, but then don't be mad when you don't get the job. And then if you're doing all job, don't be mad when your kids in therapy at 22 going, my dad was never there.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but you never know. Sometimes you may have a boss or someone that like notices how you're doing that, handling that. And they might be like, you know what?

[Bobby Bones]

Respect I respect.

[Lunchbox]

I'm into that. So I'm going to go ahead who? I am going to give you the promotion because I like the way you operate.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not how business.

[Lunchbox]

We never know.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I do know. I've been in business a long time.

[Lunchbox]

You never know.

[Bobby Bones]

You never know.

[Lunchbox]

You say, never say never.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Okay. You just said you never know. Then you said, never say never, so you did that.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you for the story. Thank you for that. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So maybe that'll help somebody out.

[Bobby Bones]

A couple other things. Ray. Midroll. Can I do that? Yep. Cool. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

[G]

Start your own country.

[Bobby Bones]

I planted the flag and just kind.

[Eddie]

Of looked out of like, this is mine.

[Bobby Bones]

[Bobby Bones]

What could go wrong?

No country willingly gives up their territory.

[Lunchbox]

I was making rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

[Amy]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, everyone. This is Courtney Thorne Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga. On July 8, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same.

[Bobby Bones]

As Melrose Place was introduced to the.

[Lunchbox]

World, it took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level.

[Bobby Bones]

We are going to be reliving every.

[Lunchbox]

Hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail, and explosion, and every single wig removal. Together, secrets are revealed as we rewatch.

[Bobby Bones]

Every moment with you. Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are.

So listen to still the place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever.

[Bobby Bones]

You listen to podcasts. Morgan, checking in on your dog?

[G]

Oh, she's doing so much better now.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan. Just a couple days ago, Morgan's dog was sick. And so your dog's sick. Did I get it? Especially if nobody else at the house. So we got Dr. Josie involved and got some, like, what was wrong with the dog?

[G]

We think she might have had, like, just a really bad reaction to a bug bite. And she had swells everywhere. Yeah, she had welts in her throat. It was. It was horrible. But she's doing much better now and resting and got some steroids and stuff in her and. Yeah, I'm super thankful for all of you guys because everybody had my back in that moment, and I was in full panic mode.

[Bobby Bones]

So how did. And I just saw people know. How did Eddie have your back?

Yeah, we got you, Morgan. Well, we got. You always have your back.

[Lunchbox]

Work wise work.

[G]

Yeah, it was like he. You know, he was taken care of. Thank you. Here. I at least knew that we'd be having videos and things done. And, like, he was like, I can help, like, wherever I need to. To jump in here to do stuff, let me know. Everybody was texting me just like, are you okay? Like, what's going on? Everybody was just, like, around in a different way. You were helpful in the fact that you did. You were like, do what you need to do. Like, this will be fine. And Amy checked on me too. Like, I was just getting texts from everyone. I felt surrounded by a lot of people that were willing to help.

[Bobby Bones]

I wasn't attacking you, Eddie. I just.

You were.

You were. I literally wasn't. I wanted our listeners to hear. So when Morgan said that, it wasn't just, like, a dry statement that meant nothing.

I mean, we're family here, dude.

Sometimes. But what about you didn't mention Lunchbox at all.

[G]

Lunchbox did text me and say, are you okay?

[Bobby Bones]

There you go.

[G]

He was worried about where I was. He thought I might have died, I think.

[Eddie]

Oh, come on. And I did take Remy on a walk when he was here at the building, or I walked him to the kitchen while I got some water and then walked him back to where he was being caged up until you could take him to the vet.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[G]

She's not caged up. She was hanging out with our producers.

[Eddie]

And what did I say?

[Bobby Bones]

What happened at the. What happened? Buying groceries.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. I was awkward.

[G]

Oh, I.

[Bobby Bones]

You tell the story first, Morgan.

[G]

I had a really long night. It was after the CMA wars, and I had forgotten to buy chips for my dip. We had, like, a Thanksgiving potluck here at the studio. And the. When I went down, I opened up my wallet and realized I didn't have anything that I needed because I had moved it all to a small purse.

[Bobby Bones]

No credit card.

[G]

I didn't have anything in there. No cash, no anything. And so I was wandering around. I called one of my friends up here that's on another show. I was like, can you come down and pay? And Lunchbox happened to see me on the phone with her, having my moment.

[Eddie]

Here's the truth of the matter is, she saw me and she was like, hey, do you think you could buy these chips for me?

[G]

That is not.

[Eddie]

And I said, oh, sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you say that to him? It's just a race situation. And that's.

[Eddie]

I said, my hoodie and I are too busy. We're still shopping, so you're gonna have to call someone else. So she called the girl from the pop station, came down and paid for her chips.

[G]

He didn't pay for my chips. And I didn't even ask him because I didn't even see him until after I had already called her. She was already coming down.

[Bobby Bones]

I made you ask him to pay for your. Because again, either he's lying.

[G]

He's lying, okay? I didn't ask him to pay for.

[Eddie]

Karma at its finest.

[G]

He just saw me in my weak moment. He didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

So he was not part of lying about the credit. The whole.

[G]

He's lying about the credit card. I did not ask him to pay for them.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Ray, would you play voicemail 3? Brittany from North Carolina, I just wanted to let you know that we were dying laughing with the segment about what Lunchbox Wore to the CMAs, because it flashed up on the screen, and my daughter was like, oh, my God, that's Lunchbox right there in the middle. He's wearing a hoodie. And I was like, why is he wearing a hoodie to the CMAs? We could not figure it out. The whole time, we were just laughing so hard. Why in the world do you wear a hoodie to see AMAS Lunchbox? Come on, man. We love the show. Hope to go on the cruise with y'all, too. That was great news. Well, I will say first, there's no great news.

Great news.

No, no, no great news. I don't want everybody to get ahead of themselves.

I'm so excited.

I was just expressing that. We have begun some conversations.

Do you hear the joy in her voice?

I hear you. How much to buy that hoodie from you just to display.

[Eddie]

Oh, 500 bucks. You have it.

[Lunchbox]

What? Yeah, right.

[Bobby Bones]

I can buy another one just like it and then display it. Because if we had a museum of our show over the past five in, like, two days, that hoodie has become, like, if Country Music hall of Fame, like they do exhibits that go in and out, but some that stay forever. Like, that would be at the front of our museum for a recent.

Is that an expensive hoodie?

[Lunchbox]

Is that like he said he got it at Nordstrom? Not even rack.

[Eddie]

Exactly.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So we had put that on a mannequin.

Yeah.

Be like, this is the one.

[Lunchbox]

Do you know someone went up to him. Like, if you look real close at it, someone went up to him. I don't know who, and said, like, oh, that looks like one of those adult coloring things. Like, if you got markers, you could, like, color it in. It really did.

[Bobby Bones]

It was a nice hoodie, though. Nice hoodie, dude.

[Eddie]

I'm not worried about it.

[Bobby Bones]

I heard you got so mad.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't get mad. I was just amazed.

[Bobby Bones]

Did he get so mad?

You got so mad?

[Lunchbox]

Morgan.

[Eddie]

I said, I'm gonna rip you tomorrow. And she goes. She told me to f off.

[Bobby Bones]

I did not. Are you gonna rip her tomorrow?

[Eddie]

Yeah. I said, I'm gonna rip you. And she said, f off.

[Bobby Bones]

Hold on.

She's talking to her like that.

[G]

Can I say something?

[Eddie]

Did you say f off?

[G]

No, I did not. I did not. I can promise you I did not.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm demanding the room back.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

I first went to Eddie because Eddie's reaction.

Eddie, was he mad?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

He was mad because everyone at a different time looked at him and said, are you wearing that? And the response every time was like.

[Eddie]

Why does everyone say that? No, I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

It's $6. No, it's not. I swear to God.

[Lunchbox]

I swear to God it is not.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike, will you come look? Come look.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, it's gonna be a knockoff Nordstrom.

[Bobby Bones]

It's marked down from Nordstrom from $50 to $6.

Well.

And it doesn't matter, but I found it. I want this. I want. I gotta order the hoodie. This is that. This is.

[Lunchbox]

It would look good on you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So he was mad.

Yes, he was mad.

[Eddie]

I wasn't mad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, you were.

Say f off to lunch. No.

[G]

Can I. Can I share something about this?

[Bobby Bones]

You have the room. Go ahead.

[G]

Okay. So when I first got here, I just said, why are you wearing that? As I was genuinely questioning him if he was not coming for some reason. It wasn't a mean. It wasn't a. I hate your sweatshirt. It wasn't anything. It was just like, are like, what's happening?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that makes sense because you're like, oh, are you okay?

[G]

Yeah. Like, it was just off base because we've been to CMAs before, and he's Worn tuxes and suits. Like, I've seen him in that before. And then. So later in the night. That was the only comment I ever made about it. Okay. That was the only thing I said. And then later in the night, he. I hear him. He's talking to some of the other guys, and he was like, oh, I'm about to go off on everyone. You just wait. And I literally. I look at him.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean?

[G]

I don't know. And I look at him, and I just like, I'm so over you right now. And I walked away. I did not say ever.

[Amy]

You're going to get the room.

[Bobby Bones]

You're going to get the room. Hold, Hold.

[G]

I did not say that. And I would also like to add that, like, the thing that irks me so much about this is Lunchbox loves to dish things out. He loves to go after everybody else all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

You mean off the air all the time.

[G]

Yes, off the air. On the air all the time. This is his personality. He will go after you about things, but what he cannot do is take it. This is the one scenario that anybody went after him one time, and he literally could not handle it.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you, Morgan.

Thank you much about.

You have the room. Don't yell, though.

[Eddie]

No, no, I didn't yell. Here's what Morgan said to me, and I'll give you the exact quote. And Kevin was standing there, if you want to get him here or scuba. She said. I said. She goes, don't be an A hole for no reason.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, fair.

[Eddie]

And then she goes. And I said, just get ready, because I'm gonna bring the fire tomorrow. She goes, F off. And she stormed off.

[G]

I know that's not what I said, but didn't we.

[Lunchbox]

Did she say F or say the word?

[Eddie]

She said F off. No, she said f. She said the word. And she called me an A hole. She said, don't be an A hole for no reason.

[Bobby Bones]

Then you just lie about the chips like, five minutes ago. I know. That's what's tough.

[Eddie]

I mean, if you don't believe me, I don't. See, here's the thing. I don't care. But I'm just telling you, if I went up to you what my whole thing was. I don't go up to you.

[G]

You would have gone up to me. If I would have showed up and.

[Bobby Bones]

If I would have showed you in overalls. Let's say you show up in overalls. I would.

[Eddie]

You would have been like, hey, that's your outfit.

[G]

No, you would have said, what is this?

[Eddie]

Outfit.

[G]

You would have had a question.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe you would have said something like, hey, you going to work out?

[Bobby Bones]

I understand Morgan's feeling of, oh, you may not be going, like, what's wrong?

[Eddie]

So why didn't she say that?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even.

[G]

Allow me to get to that point. You immediately went off. You're like. And threw your hands in the air like mad.

[Eddie]

I said, no. You said, are you wearing a hoodie?

[G]

Hey, Abby was there. She can tell.

[Eddie]

And I said, yes, I'm wearing a hoodie. And you go, why?

[Bobby Bones]

Abby, do you want to get in this mix or no, you don't have to. I can move on.

[Eddie]

I mean, I wish you would just admit that you said, don't be an A hole for no reason.

[Lunchbox]

I might have said that, but I.

[Eddie]

Did not say f. No, yes, you did.

[G]

I know I did.

[Eddie]

And you grabbed your dress like this with your right hand, and you stormed off to the left. You were drinking, so I wasn't drinking. Actually, That's a lie to you.

[Bobby Bones]

You wasn't drinking.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[G]

Well, I was there. You did.

[Bobby Bones]

You were drinking.

[G]

I can tell you right now. I didn't say f off.

[Bobby Bones]

The room is Abby's.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I didn't hear that part.

[Bobby Bones]

I was walking.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I was walking with Morgan, and we both said it. We were wondering why you're wearing a hoodie. Like, because I didn't think you were going. I was like, oh, he's here. But he must not be going because he's wearing jeans and a hoodie, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. You know you're gonna trigger him laughing like that.

[Amy]

Turn the mic off.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, Ray was there, too.

Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, I just wanted to say Morgan did say f off.

[Eddie]

Thank.

[Amy]

I wasn't drinking, so she did say that. And the other thing is, I was so happy. Lunch wore the sweatshirt because I didn't wear a suit coat. So I actually thought I was going to be the center of attention. And when he showed up in the hoodie, I said, dude, thank you so much. You just took the spotlight off of me.

[Eddie]

So, Lunchbox, you want to admit it.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox, is it true you had another witness? I don't feel like that's that bad to say.

[G]

I don't feel like.

[Eddie]

Hold on, Lunchbox. Hold on.

[G]

I am trying to say something.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

But he wasn't mad. But he wasn't mad.

[G]

Good God.

[Bobby Bones]

I.

[G]

If I said that, I am genuinely sorry. I don't remember saying that, but I do remember being very frustrated because you literally go, I'm gonna go off on everyone. I was like, it's a freaking hoodie. And you are so mad when you do this to people all the time. Like, you are getting a taste of your own medicine and you can't handle it.

[Lunchbox]

But also, can I point out that Ray also said something along the lines of, like, I said, oh, s. Where's my son? And I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of people make it a lot.

[Lunchbox]

So, like, he's saying that Morgan said the F word, and I don't know that she did.

[Eddie]

They act like I care about their fashion advice. Like, Eddie's fashionable. I don't give a crap about Eddie. Eddie just wears Bobby's clothes.

[Bobby Bones]

So why is he attacking you? Literally were doing nothing but running a camera right there. Mike Morgan, he's throwing strays now. Just trying to get anybody else.

[Lunchbox]

I'm actually on your side. I never said anything about the hoodie. I thought you looked nice.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

But now it's, like, getting a little.

[Eddie]

No, no. But I'm gonna tell you.

[Lunchbox]

Yell.

[Eddie]

I'll tell you where I did get annoyed was Mike's wife. Out of nowhere, you've said this, but.

[Bobby Bones]

There'S no need to bring her in.

[Eddie]

No, no, it is because she was there and she has no right.

[Lunchbox]

She.

[Eddie]

I don't know her.

[Lunchbox]

Did you do.

[Eddie]

When do I see her? Twice a year.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's unfair to bring somebody up. When you're mad at them, they can't respond. I think that's unfair to bring somebody up right now when they cannot respond to what you're saying, when you're obviously angered by this.

[Eddie]

No, I'm not. I'm angered by the denials. That's what I'm angered by. When you admit things, then it's cool. Like, if you say.

[G]

I literally just said, hey, if I said that, I'm sorry, I don't remember saying that. But I do remember being very frustrated.

[Eddie]

With you because you genuinely kept rubbing you on it.

[G]

No, because you kept bringing it up, but yet it didn't bother you. But yet it was a topic the entire night. Like, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

If we had a museum, I'd put it up.

[G]

Such an issue to you. And also, you do care about other people's clothes because, like, you. You talk about, like, Eddie when he. He wears Bobby's clothes all the time. You do address other people.

[Bobby Bones]

Who are you?

[Eddie]

No, I'm not.

[Lunchbox]

But I'm like, oh, you got a boob clothes, dad.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm kind of. I'm enjoying a little bit.

I'll be honest. A little bit.

I'M enjoying it. But.

[Eddie]

But I know the sweater was nice. I know I look nice.

[Bobby Bones]

No one there had a sweater. First of all, it was not a sweater. We're not gonna redefine it. It was not a sweater. It was a hoodie, and it could.

Be yours for $6.

Yeah, it was not a sweater, but go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

This might be my favorite part.

[Eddie]

And how much did your suit cost?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I got it for free.

Exactly.

[Eddie]

From Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

It was for his wedding. Your dad's tuxedo.

Yeah. No, everybody got them for free.

I have a tuxedo, Bobby.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Bob, I thought you meant that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't have a dad Lunchbox.

Oh, that's. His dad died.

Yeah, like. Yeah, nice one, dude.

Geez.

[Eddie]

Yeah, like, I was referencing your dad. Your real dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on. He did say his dad.

[Eddie]

Okay, we want to turn it into that.

[Lunchbox]

If you really want to go there.

[Eddie]

Like, I'm making fun of his dead.

[Lunchbox]

We're not. We're not.

[Eddie]

I mean, that's just stupid.

[Lunchbox]

We're not.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys.

[G]

Let me get that off my chest. I really needed that.

[Bobby Bones]

What's funny, though, is that you say you're not mad, but you're not right.

[Eddie]

Now when you try to act like I'm making fun of your dead dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you were mad way before that.

[Lunchbox]

I did that. But I'm. I'm from the Dead Dad Club, so I can. I did that.

[Bobby Bones]

You did what?

[Lunchbox]

I brought in the dead dad.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know he was mad already. Now he's just using this.

[Lunchbox]

And.

[Eddie]

No, I was mad when she went in, but what she said. Yeah, absolutely. She knows what she said. She was trying to make herself look good on this.

[Bobby Bones]

Shots at Eddie whenever it's like, hey, I have these TV clothes I'm never gonna use I've wore once. Do you guys want them? And then you make fun of him for taking them.

[Eddie]

No, he made fun of my outfit so I can make fun of his clothes.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody made fun of your outfit, and they did it like, hey, he wore a hoodie to a formal event. It wasn't like, Lunchbox is a bad person.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe he wishes sometimes you would give him.

[Eddie]

No, no, I don't want his clothes. Promise you, I don't want his clothes.

[Lunchbox]

That's probably the deeper stuff, like golf stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

For sure.

[Eddie]

He's giving me a pair of golf pants.

[Lunchbox]

That's nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

Okay, you gone from your dad, from your daddy.

[Eddie]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, come on.

Okay, that was entertaining.

[Lunchbox]

I don't even know what just happened.

[Bobby Bones]

That whole thing Was entertaining.

I just. It doesn't even matter.

[Lunchbox]

Was it? No.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

From the camera angles, yes.

What was this?

The whole thing is just, like, entertaining.

[Lunchbox]

And I was like.

[Bobby Bones]

That was like Jerry Springer, man.

Yeah. People were kept in strikes. When Mike's wife got brought into it. She's not even here. I'm like, well.

[Eddie]

Well, she brought herself into it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

But I have a feeling if Mike's wife was here, she'd be like, yeah, I said that. So what?

[Bobby Bones]

But it's also, like, we try not to take down people if they don't have a way to respond.

[Lunchbox]

She doesn't care.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, my wife tells me that.

What's that like?

When I talk about it, she's like, don't talk about me. I can't respond. Fair enough. You're right.

Okay, well, we'll move from that. Yeah. Take a breath.

[G]

I feel better now. I got it off my chest. It feels good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Your face is the same color. No, his is not.

[Eddie]

I just don't like it when you lie.

[G]

I literally. Anyway, move on, Bobby, please.

[Bobby Bones]

You got it. Here's a voicemail, Right.

[Eddie]

Did you call me an a hole?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Literally moving on.

[G]

He can't move on.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. He can't. He doesn't know how to let go. I literally was going to the next thing.

[Eddie]

Here's the thing. Because I'm the same as I am.

[G]

No, no.

[Eddie]

Because these people won't. Will look at you differently if you admit you said f off.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody cares.

We don't care.

[G]

You're forgetting that I literally said if I said it.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sorry.

[Lunchbox]

I don't remember.

[G]

I can't admit to something I don't remember saying. Oh, my gosh. Let things go. Like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for whatever role I played in your sweatshirt hoodie feelings experience of that evening.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't just care. The hoodie's a sensitive thing. Way more sensitive than I ever thought. I'll be honest with you guys. To me, it was funny, but I didn't know. It was, like, nerve sensitive. Like, super nerve sensitive. I have now realized that is super nerve sensitive.

[Lunchbox]

It just makes me wonder if there's something, like, deeper happening here with the hoodie.

[Eddie]

What could be deep?

[Lunchbox]

What are you talking about?

[Eddie]

Knowing I looked nice. I didn't care.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't.

[Eddie]

I didn't send Morgan a picture and be like, hey, should I wear this outfit? Does this look okay? No, I wore it because I liked it. I didn't give a crap what people thought. I walked around that place with a smile on my face and said, hey, I'm here. What up? I didn't give a crap.

[Bobby Bones]

You looked good. Nobody said you looked bad. They just said it was odd because everybody else was black tie. They had requested black tie. Right.

[Eddie]

No one told me it was black tie.

[G]

But you've been to this event so many times.

[Bobby Bones]

And Warren, and in the email, it did say black tie.

Honest question real quick, though. Was it. Did you pick a black and white ones because it was black white?

That's a great question.

[Eddie]

I went into my closet and I said, oh, that hoodie looks good. It matches with these black jeans. I'll put it on. And I got in the car, I drove here, got in the Uber and said, let's go to the CMA's.

[Bobby Bones]

Question, does that sound every hoodie match jeans.

[Lunchbox]

He wore black jeans. Yeah, the jeans did look nice. I'm saying they're probably the nicest jeans. His jeans.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

He wore black pants. Jeans.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a great question, though, about was a black and white hoodie for a black tie.

Correct.

Because he did have ties on a string. Yeah, those are ties that you tie the hood on.

Technically.

Technically, guys, that was black tie.

[Eddie]

I mean, I mean, it's funny. If Bieber wears that, it's like the most fashionable thing.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not Bieber, dude.

[Eddie]

It doesn't matter who wears it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, of course it does.

[Eddie]

So if Justin Bieber wears a trash bag that's stylish.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it could be stupid. But he's. He's.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Has a history. Enough of doing wild style things.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And he's so famous that that's just news. And he knows what's going to happen. It wasn't news that you wore a hoodie, like, except for this show. If anything, Bieber wears the news. I think it's different.

[Eddie]

Yep, yep, yep.

[Lunchbox]

What's next?

[Bobby Bones]

I tried to move on.

[Lunchbox]

I know. But we're ready now.

[G]

I've been ready, just waiting.

[Lunchbox]

It's good, it's good.

[Bobby Bones]

This just feels like the palette.

[Lunchbox]

No, it's not. We're tasting, but we have not even talked about taste.

[Bobby Bones]

A little bit like iron taste.

[Lunchbox]

I feel like we're still doing.

[Eddie]

I mean, you're just mad that you guys dressed like you dressed and I dressed like I dressed and you weren't happy with it. That's your problem.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's.

Nobody was unhappy. It was literally like somebody was like, this is funny because a lot of people commented on It. We always look for things to talk about that are funny. I didn't realize was super nerve sensitive.

I like my tux, man.

I didn't pay. I didn't pay for that.

I was glad I was wearing it because I wear it once a year.

[Lunchbox]

Well, it was from your wedding and you gave it to them for free.

[Bobby Bones]

But I didn't pay for it.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but he got it from me, though.

[Bobby Bones]

But not for. I didn't pay for it.

[Lunchbox]

Only because of you, though.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fair, but.

And Mike. Mike did too. Mike had the same tux. I ain't saying anything. He's going back to quiet nothing.

All right, Ray, play me the Patty from Massachusetts. Voicemail. And then who knows the Pam? I don't know. It says Patty on my sheet, but whatever you got there.

My group of friends is having a.

Big debate over whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie. My husband being one of the biggest supporters of it. And we have been going back and.

Forth, and you mentioned Home Alone, and.

[Lunchbox]

I would love to get the show's input on whether you consider Die Hard a Christmas movie.

[Bobby Bones]

When I think of Die Hard, I don't think of Christmas first. So I would not say that Die Hard is in the category of Christmas movies. Can you play it at Christmas? Yes. Does it involve Christmas? Yes. But when I think of Die Hard, the first thing that comes to my mind is not Christmas. It is. Bruce Willis was a ba and he was all ripped up and saving lives. So does Christmas in it? Yeah. But if I go elf, what's the first thing you think of?

Christmas.

Miracle on 88th street, whatever it's called. Christmas, sure. Whatever that is. Christmas.

Christmas.

So my own classification system is, do I think of Christmas? The very first thing. Whenever I think of these certain movies and I don't think of Christmas first with Die Hard or Home Alone.

That's crazy, man.

Not first, not first. Because they play Home Alone in March and no one goes, why are they showing a Christmas movie in March? They just go, oh, they're playing Home Alone?

No, they play it on the Christmas.

Channel, but no, they'll play it on tbs, but it doesn't matter. Listen, I'm not running for office with this on my platform, but I would say in my own movie classification system, I go, is the first thing I think of Christmas? No. Then to me, it can evolve. Christmas be played at Christmas. But is it absolutely Christmas movie?

[Lunchbox]

No, I think for me. So I just looked this up. Home Alone came out in mid November 1990. So that's like Christmas time.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fine. Great.

[Lunchbox]

But first time you saw it.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm just telling you, I don't think of that as a Christmas first movie.

[Lunchbox]

I know you don't.

[Bobby Bones]

And I remember going to watching theaters. I wore my favorite hoodie.

[Eddie]

But they go on Christmas vacation in the movie. How is that not a Christmas movie?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they do.

Yeah, I hear you. I still don't think of it.

[Lunchbox]

And they're robbing.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, and there's Christmas music all over.

And Die Hard, the whole thing is him trying to get home for Christmas.

Really?

The whole movie?

[Lunchbox]

So it is a Christmas movie.

[Bobby Bones]

In my mind. I don't all. I'm. Because I'm just saying in my mind, when I classify these things, I don't think of Die Hard as a Christmas movie. First, can you play to Christmas?

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

And if someone wants to argue, I don't even care. Like, who cares?

I'm watching Die Hard. I've never seen it. I'm gonna watch.

You can watch out in July and it doesn't feel weird. You'd can watch Home Alone in March. It doesn't feel weird. Now if you watch Miracle on 34th street in May, it feels a bit odd, right?

Yeah. Yeah. It's not Christmas.

That would be my only speaking to it that I. Because I've already said too much. I don't care as much as I've already said about it as of right now. Okay. But I would say no. Home Alone is. Or excuse me, Die Hard is not a Christmas movie. But if he really cares, give it up. Let him have it. Ain't that important. There are other things to fight about. Right, guys?

Yes. Like hoodies and stuff.

[Eddie]

Like being an a hole.

[Bobby Bones]

Like chips. Amy losing her kid.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, s. Where's my kid?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, what, an hour later?

[Lunchbox]

I don't even think we were.

[Bobby Bones]

It was like the next day. And Amy's like, anyone see my kid?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I was gonna get to this. People are commenting on a live stream, but I'm gonna hold it for a different day. I can't do it now.

Okay. Yeah.

It's just not the time.

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

It's definitely not the time. I just thought about that. You're right.

Definitely not the time. Another day. It's not the time. Check out our 25 Whistles podcast. We have the Tulane head football coach, Coach Summerall, who listens to our show, and they're killing it. This year they're ranked top 20, and it's fun talking to people who get us because we're a bit odd when we interview these people that do just two sports interviews all the time. But it's kind of. It's a relief to talk to some of these coaches when they understand why we're stupid. So check that out. There's also a story, too, where a very famous ballplayer's Lamborghini was hacked. They took it, and the whole story is they rerouted it through the computer, and that's how they're hacking cars. He was having his car delivered from one state to another, and they hacked the computer to tell the driver to reroute it, and he. They rerouted it, dropped it off and left because that's where the thing said take it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Crazy. Like a Lamborghini.

[Lunchbox]

No, that's in that.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike Tyson's journey to recovery reminds us.

That no fight is easy. With every bumpy start, each step back, in moments that could have broken him, he kept pushing forward. I never knew what the spiral was coming up in my life. I never knew I was going that deep. Just hopelessness and how so many millions of people feel like that but have no help. Listen to the Cino show on America's number one podcast network, iHeart.
