[Bobby Bones]

It's time for the Bobby Bones Post show. Here's your host, Bobby Bones. Yes. Yes. Couple things. Because it's the end of the year, nobody wants to be like all leaving this place all butt hurt. So I'm not gonna be butt hurt. Also, I have a new resolution too. I've been add another one. I'm not a big resolution guy, but I like to say stuff out loud because then I'm held accountable. So I guess that's what it is. I kind of find the new year a time to do that. So. First off, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yes, what?

[Bobby Bones]

I regret to have to tell you this.

[Eddie]

Oh no.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey Scooby, you know what you told me a bit ago?

[Ray]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

You guys are talking about me.

[Bobby Bones]

We had to. It's not good. Not good at all. So does anybody else know or did you keep it?

[Ray]

Mike and Ray know because they're part of logistics of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Ray, dude, they're the one. So they run things like raise runs all the audio on the board. So anything happening on this show is.

[Ray]

He's the first one to see it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So Felice Navidad got taken off the air this morning. I know why.

[Eddie]

It got taken like it was on and then pulled.

[Bobby Bones]

It wasn't even on. So we went. You know how that thing happens when whatever, something breaks and we go off the air and they just play that or elevator music during that segment? I didn't know. They don't tell me right then because they know I. I don't flip out, but inside I'm flipping out. And then I'm plotting to get revenge on everybody, which isn't also probably healthy of me.

[Amy]

Who's the everybody?

[Bobby Bones]

Who knows? Maybe you. It's not you. But I'm just saying everybody should. All. Everybody should worry. But yeah, that segment that we do every year. So just so you know, because this is what happened. This is so stupid, dude. But that's not. It's not even. So I want you to feel it. I want you to get all your emotions out. Well, I know you. And then I'll tell you.

[Eddie]

I know you've been dealing with this, and I haven't really understood the, like, the. Of feeling you have until right now, even then. Because that is a huge Christmas tradition for our show and for none of our listeners to hear that. Very upsetting.

[Bobby Bones]

We got some good news for you, though. At least a bit of better news. I know you love doing that on the 23rd. Obviously, we won't be here doing a show. We're gonna replay it two times on the 23rd.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Amy]

So Christmas Eve Eve.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. So the Christmas ee, if it were abroad, be double E. And on broad day, we'll replay it twice.

[Eddie]

Okay. Hopefully people are listening that day.

[Bobby Bones]

Way less will be. But we're gonna replay it twice. And it wasn't on. So I can understand you being like, dang, that sucks for me. It's so much bigger than just that bit. It's. And I'm again, look at me. Not getting upset, Amy.

[Amy]

I'm sensing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, it's just upsetting.

[Amy]

I'm sensing this is upset.

[Bobby Bones]

It just died. You can't have an expectation on. Not the podcast. And by the way, if you're watching this on YouTube, listen on the podcast. You're our favorites. We like you better than everybody else because you consume things in a way that means you chose us. You didn't stumble upon us. You came to seek out. Right now, we could be talking about this boring thing. And I apologize for that. But it's like, how do you expect us to win if every week we're off the air for multiple minutes at a time? It wrecks everything. So stupid. Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Your pain, I'm sorry for it. We're gonna fix it. My pain not been fixed.

[Eddie]

I'm sorry for your pain, too. I feel your pain.

[Bobby Bones]

In the end, it drops down to being you guys pain, too.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because all of a sudden, if something's happening and they're like, well, you're not winning in Atlanta yet. And it's like, let me show you, because I have an extensive library of times. This is a liberry. What am I, eight?

[Eddie]

That's all my kids say.

[Bobby Bones]

I've not had enough water. I lift her dry.

[Eddie]

My son argued with me that it was called Liberian.

[Bobby Bones]

I might have done that, too. Right now is the kind of mood I'm in with just that. But, yeah, no, it's. It sucks. And for a show of our size, where, like, that matters, it sucks. But you were not on. So if anyone's like, dang, Eddie. Every year we wait. The whole family gathers around the radio for Christmas, and Eddie plays Feliz Navidad.

[Eddie]

Like the old days.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. It'll be on the 23rd.

[Eddie]

Okay, so everyone just jump back in your cars on the 23rd.

[Bobby Bones]

Twice. Just stay in your car or just.

[Lunchbox]

Turn it on in their house.

[Eddie]

Well, who has a radio in their house?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, well, that said, they have smart speakers in the house.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So what do they say? Fine. Bobby Buncho, Eddie singing Phillies, Navy.

[Bobby Bones]

Dad, I don't even think that's it. I think Scuba. Let's just commit to a time. We'll run it. Let's say the six and eight hours, which will be the seven and nine Eastern. Going do that?

[Ray]

Yeah, we got it already. Ray's already doing it right now on the 23rd. Yeah, 23rd.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Eddie]

That's first things. Thank you, Ray. Thank you, Scooby.

[Ray]

But I'll say the one positive in all this for us. On the back end, there was something that we. We, meaning the whole company and engineering all that, they thought something was in place, and it wasn't. And so now, because of this catastrophe, the good news is they now know that wasn't there. So they're now installing that in place so this could be fixed at a quicker rate to where this time, someone had to come in physically and fix it, which was a whole 30 minute process.

[Bobby Bones]

Here you bet it's happened 11 times.

[Ray]

I know, I know. But now this is another time.

[Bobby Bones]

It took the 11th time to fix it.

[Ray]

Well, this is a different one. The other problem we have is with.

[Bobby Bones]

A natural program Yeti. You're not. You're. What? You're not the victim anymore.

[Ray]

Okay, we move past. You're gonna get a double play. You're getting double E's on my.

[Eddie]

You know what, though? I took the sacrifice.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow, you're a martyr. You being a martyr.

[Eddie]

Dang, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's the first thing. Okay, we're about to hit some Christmas break. How and how much on 1 to 10 scale? And then what are you gonna do? Amy, you go first. How excited are you? And what shall you be doing?

[Amy]

I'm a 10.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, good.

[Amy]

And I'm going to see my sister, so my kids and I will fly to Colorado this weekend, and we'll be with her. And then their dad's also going to Colorado, so they'll be with me. We're on a Friday to Friday.

[Bobby Bones]

So you'll both be in Colorado for different people.

[Amy]

Yeah, we've always. That's what we've always done. His family's there. My family.

[Bobby Bones]

That's convenient. So.

[Amy]

Yeah, and it's a really small town, so it is convenient. We'll definitely run into him, and then on Friday, we'll swap. The kids will go be with him, and then. So I'll be there. I'll just hang out with my sister, her kids, and I'm a 10. I haven't seen my sister in a while, and I'm just excited.

[Bobby Bones]

So. Okay, let's do you. Eddie, what do you. What's your scale? And then what's the one thing you're most excited about for Christmas break?

[Eddie]

Oh, I'm a 10 for sure. And the most excited thing I. I'm about, I'm happy about is like, yeah, just being off, like, waking up and saying, hey, what do you want to do today? You pick. I have nothing to do today. I love that feeling.

[Bobby Bones]

What about, like, taking care of the kids and stuff?

[Eddie]

Oh, I mean, that's. They're gonna be there. That's part of life every day.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it better that they're getting a little older, though, so it's not as much of taking care of, like you have to do.

[Eddie]

You would think before boys, they don't mature as quickly. Like, you have to just be settling fights all the time. And, like, they'll be like, can I have cereal? I'm like, you're old enough to get Your own cereal every single time. Yeah, but it's too high. Okay, let me get the cereal for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, but what about a chair? Like a chair stool?

[Eddie]

Yeah, they do that and then one of them pushes them off the chair. And it's just always a thing, dude. It's always a thing with these guys.

[Bobby Bones]

But, like, you're mid two or old enough to, like, get up and do their own days. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like the youngest, I left them at the house for like an hour the other day. The. The middle two.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's. Shouldn't that be fine?

[Eddie]

No, because when I got back, I'm like, gosh, I hope the house is like, okay, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's because of a maturity level, not because of an age and a capability level. Right, right. And putting the two together.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If you left one, you probably would have to worry about that.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

But both of them together, they could team up and really do some damage.

[Eddie]

They will look at the living room and be like, okay, let's move that couch. That's end zone one.

[Bobby Bones]

That's so funny.

[Eddie]

And that's end zone two. And then we got to do field goals. So let's get the chairs and they'll put. They'll stack the chairs to make field goals and kick field goals. In the living room with your two sons.

[Bobby Bones]

Stop me if I'm saying too much. One is your adopted son. One is your biological son. Correct. They're around the same age. Are they extremely close?

[Eddie]

Always close. They're always together.

[Bobby Bones]

Are they together because they're just the same age or are they like, best friends?

[Eddie]

For real, man, they're just besties. They are, yeah. They just. They do everything together and then they get mad, so I have to separate them and we don't go past the 10 minute mark before they're like, can I go back to so and so's room?

[Bobby Bones]

Would they consider the other brother to be their best friend?

[Eddie]

Man, that's a good question. I've never asked him that.

[Bobby Bones]

Because again, you can be friends just out of proximity and brothers, sisters, you're close anyways. You're going to punch them and kill them. Even your best friend you want to punch.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But I wonder if they feel that they. How old are 10?

[Eddie]

Yeah, one of them's about to be 10 and the other one's 11. So like a year and a half.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's old enough to have a best friend, though.

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think they think they're best friends?

[Eddie]

And I feel like they do. But they will never label themselves as.

[Bobby Bones]

Best friends or even say it to the other one. Right. That'd be like.

[Eddie]

Even though they spend every minute of the day together. Even, like, when they're. I take one to basketball practice and the other one's like, can I go? And then they go and they watch the whole thing. And if they can jump in on the practice with the other one, they will.

[Bobby Bones]

Do they hug each other ever?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Do they ever hug? Do any of your four boys hug any of your four boys?

[Eddie]

The oldest hugs all of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

He's kind of the. More like.

[Bobby Bones]

He's older, mature.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But is he also more of an empath or a feeler?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think so. Especially with, like. Because they're little and he feels like he's kind of like the leader of all of them. So he kind of just goes and he'll give him a hug if they're not feeling well or whatever. Or like, when they. Or when they get home from school, he's like, what's up? Says hi, gives him a hug. Stuff like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think the other three are similar and will get older and be more of a feeler, or is your oldest just a different type of kid?

[Eddie]

I think he's just different than all of them. Just completely different because he's very peaceful. He's a big thinker. The other three, they don't think before they do anything. They go head first into it and then like, oh. Or like, well, that was cool. But they don't think about what they do before they do it.

[Bobby Bones]

And your oldest son wasn't like that. Didn't have that stage.

[Eddie]

No, never.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fun.

[Eddie]

And then the little one, dude, the fact that he is the little one of four boys, he's just so tough. Like, he can, like, roll down a hill, like, jump on a pile of rocks. And I'll never worry about him because he doesn't get hurt.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I often thought if we did your youngest versus Stanley the Bulldog at, like, a pay per view, it would do well because he'd be at the house and Stanley would see someone his own size. So Stanley's gonna play and jump, and they would just. It's like. It's like Iron man and Captain America. And when they're slamming into each other, that's kind of what it was. And they're at the end, they're both like, whoa, what the crap? And. And your kid's like, oh. And then Stanley's like.

[Eddie]

And then little stars over their heads.

[Bobby Bones]

And then all of a sudden you're like, is One of the. And then they're back up again at it again.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But you know what's crazy though? For Christmas we're gonna go down to Texas and they have seven cousins and six are boys. So four plus six is ten. We're going to have ten boys in one place. One girl, cousins, one girl. It's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox excited level. And what you look at for to most.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, not having to work, I mean, is just amazing. Like, that's the best thing in the world. I would say 10, but my in laws are coming for the entire two weeks, so take it down to a 6.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

The entire two weeks.

[Amy]

Isn't it helpful though that they're here because they can help with the kids?

[Bobby Bones]

But isn't two weeks.

[Eddie]

That's a long time?

[Lunchbox]

It's a long time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I think the two weeks.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe they were just here for a week for Thanksgiving.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

And I thought, okay, they're coming for a few days for Christmas and then they're out. No, they're not leaving till January 2nd.

[Eddie]

There's a little tear in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Not specifically about your in laws, but man, anybody staying for two weeks.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they're not getting Airbnb.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

They're in the guest room.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. But I understand that that's your in laws.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

For two weeks, though. I would feel bad staying with anyone for two weeks because when someone's in your house, regardless, even if you love them being there, there is a level, a slight level of discomfort only that you can't do some of the intimate things. Walk around in your underwear.

[Lunchbox]

Ding, duh.

[Bobby Bones]

On and on.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

That you normally would do for me. And I love when our in laws stay. But the only thing that's. And they've never stayed for two weeks, so there's no comparison there. But it's like I like every door to be shut and the alarm to be set and every. I have my own like safety, ocd, ish type routine. Routine. Yeah. It's almost ceremonial every night. And so what I know though is especially on a weekend or they may decide to go out and go for a walk in a morning on a Saturday. And I'm like, okay, the alarm's on. You can't, you can't open the door because it's gonna go off. Then there's gonna be. And so then I get nervous that's gonna happen because they'll forget because they're not supposed to remember. They don't live. So all that is like a little bit of. With anybody who stays there. But man, two weeks, that's. That's tough.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, but I mean, it'll be. I mean, whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

But do they help or can your wife, like, leave like Amy said, and you guys go do some stuff while they're at home with the kids?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I guess we could, but my wife's like, oh, I feel bad. I want to spend time with my family.

[Amy]

Well, y'all shouldn't feel bad. You should.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no, but she wants to spend time.

[Bobby Bones]

They were there for three days and.

[Amy]

They were just there for Thanksgiving. They were just there for Thanksgiving and they're gonna be there for two weeks. Like you should say, I thought you wear the pants. Tell your wife we're gonna go do something in two weeks.

[Bobby Bones]

You could probably. You should probably leave for a couple days. You and your wife go do something.

[Lunchbox]

I should probably go on vacation.

[Bobby Bones]

Not I. You and your wife should probably get to do like a.2, like a. A couple days.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but her sister's coming too.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

But she's not staying at your house.

[Lunchbox]

No, she is. We got an air mattress for the living room.

[Bobby Bones]

No way.

[Amy]

She's coming for two weeks too?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, she's only come. I don't know how many days she's coming for.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Lunchbox]

Like, I don't know how long her sister's staying. I have no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

That also is fun that you don't know. It's like grab bag. It's like when the kid opened the eggs. I wonder what's in the egg. Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And then her brother's coming, but now.

[Bobby Bones]

There'S no chance he's staying.

[Lunchbox]

He's only staying for 48 hours. Oh, air mattress.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness.

[Lunchbox]

In the living room.

[Eddie]

It's like home alone.

[Bobby Bones]

Or jail or jail in a big room when they all put all the inmates in there. Yeah, it's a hostel.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

We just have a extra air mattress. And then he'll. We can close them in the office. I guess you can close the door there.

[Amy]

That's fun. I love having everybody in.

[Lunchbox]

I have no idea if they're. I mean, they want to get a hotel, so they may have gotten a hotel. My wife was upset that they were thinking about getting a hotel.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was like, everybody, I agree. Everybody else is fine. But two weeks is a long time, right? It's a long time to not have. Not be able to do your natural habitat things, not knowing how long somebody's gonna stay. And maybe he does.

[Lunchbox]

No, I literally don't know. My sister in law, I honestly don't know how long she's staying. I know the brother in law is coming the day after Christmas and He's leaving the 29th, so he's here for two days.

[Bobby Bones]

Like 48 hours for all of that is about perfect because. I agree. That would be nice to have everybody there for like two days.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. My, my wife was sad about that because he's never come to visit ever. And he's coming for 48 hours.

[Amy]

That's what you can get.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I agree. But I think, hey, he's never come. He'll come, man. What about like getting like a. I don't know, do they want to sleep on air mattresses or can you do like a little cot type situation? And they go to.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I didn't even think about a cot.

[Bobby Bones]

Like a Walmart. And if you're like.

[Lunchbox]

But they got fancy air mattresses.

[Eddie]

They do really nice.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not talking about the kind that you like, go to the lake with.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I have one that's like that.

[Bobby Bones]

I've slept on those and I'm like rolling and I can never stay in the middle of them. I kind of to the side and.

[Eddie]

It rubs like an air tube.

[Lunchbox]

I have both. I have one that's like a big one that inflates kind of high off the ground. And then I have the one you take to the lake. It's just like a blue one and it's just like about 6 inches off the ground.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they make nice ones now.

[Amy]

Yeah, they do. But y'all are making me feel like I'm going to my sister's house for a week with my two kids. And I feel like now is her husband. Like, how long is Amy.

[Eddie]

They're having this conversation right now about you.

[Bobby Bones]

How long.

[Amy]

And they've got four kids. So like we're gonna be. I don't know how we're bunking up because it's my sister, her husband. They're four kids. Me, my two kids. And they have like a normal sized house.

[Bobby Bones]

I think a couple different things. One, but at least you're not married.

[Lunchbox]

So you can sleep on the couch.

[Bobby Bones]

It's also like lunchboxes in laws.

[Amy]

I know. I was saying more like my sister's husband. Like, what's he saying?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I'm saying they're older, they're not like peers.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you're fun.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure. Well, it's all. You guys are all the same age. You can talk about the same stuff.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That he had. I don't know. When somebody's parents are there, you have to act a bit different.

[Eddie]

What happens when you guys are together for so long? Like just different families in one house? Like, they start getting into your stuff. Like, oh, they do dishes differently. Or like they put, you know, cups somewhere else where you normally don't. And that kind of frustrates me sometimes. Like lunchbox. Is that ever a thing, like with your in laws where they do things the way they want to do it, but it's not their house.

[Lunchbox]

They, they start telling you, like, oh, I would do it this way. And I'm like, well, I don't care how you would do it, like. Or like, I'm like, I don't give my kids. I don't like bathing them. Like, I don't need to bathe them every night. And if they don't, if they don't get a bath, they're like, I can't believe you guys don't bathe them. I mean, they were running outside today. I'm like, so what? They're kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you say that you're also a dirty clothes hamper? Mind your own business.

[Lunchbox]

They don't see my bathroom. I'm talking about the kids. Like when we go to the guest bathroom, that's where we bathe them.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

And they're like, I can't believe you're not gonna bathe them tonight. I'm like, it's, it's 8:00. Like, I'm tired. Like, it's okay. They can sleep dirty. Well, then you need to wash their sheets tomorrow. I'm like, no, I don't.

[Eddie]

Like, my mother in law, she was.

[Lunchbox]

Here we go.

[Eddie]

Well, I love her, she's awesome. But she was there for like a week and then she threw like some of my plants away and I'm like, why? Where are my plants? She's like, oh, they were dead. Like, no, they weren't. They weren't dead.

[Bobby Bones]

And also, it's your stuff. You should throw away your stuff.

[Eddie]

Man, I wanted to say that so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you. For not.

[Eddie]

But I didn't. I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, nobody stayed with us for two weeks. I think that would be tough. I would never stay with anybody for two weeks unless it was like a hard time. And I was like, hey, can I stay with you for a couple weeks until I get myself back on my feet? I would just feel like I was putting somebody out so much if I stayed there for two weeks.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I mean, the one time, the one big one we had when we first got engaged, they came to visit and I came to work. And my in laws decided the kitchen table needed to be on the other side of the kitchen.

[Bobby Bones]

You're out of your mind. You're out of your mind. That's wild.

[Lunchbox]

That's wild, huh? Came home, the kitchen table was in a different spot. And I'm like, they're like, it just. It looks better over here.

[Eddie]

And I'm like, this is my house.

[Lunchbox]

And I was just like, wow.

[Amy]

So did you keep it there or move it back?

[Lunchbox]

No, I just let. It ain't worth the fight. But I was just like, that is interesting. I was like, I would have liked my opinion. They're like, yeah, we just thought. We thought it flowed better this way.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Probably wasn't even about where the table actually was.

[Lunchbox]

That was a big one, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, it was.

[Lunchbox]

I still think about that one.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll think about that one for you later today and be like, holy crap. Because it's probably not about actually where the table is. It's about the fact they moved his table.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Without asking him.

[Lunchbox]

That's a little weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever feel like they influence your wife? Like, they're like, hey. That they go to her and be like, yeah, you should. What if you should? How about. And then she makes decisions based on their recommendations.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's a good question. I don't know if they do that. That's a good. I mean, you may not know. Yeah, I may not know. Or she may run something by them and they're like, oh, yeah, that's a good idea. And then they have. But I really don't know, like, do.

[Bobby Bones]

They use each other to beat you?

[Eddie]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe your wife has things. She's like, I just can't get them. And your parents give her the push. Or they're like, hey, we've been thinking about this. And they tell your wife. And your wife's the one that says, hey, this is my idea, and doesn't put it on the parents, but it's their idea. Really?

[Lunchbox]

Maybe. I mean, but we don't really do. I mean, there's not really big things that we have to influence over. Cause there's not really much going on.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, that's gonna fire me up today. There's no reason for it to. But if I were to come home and the table were completely moved by somebody was sit my house that just said, hey, I think it would look better there. I think we're going to cut your time short here while we're thinking.

[Lunchbox]

That was a rough one.

[Bobby Bones]

That was a rough one. Yeah.

[Amy]

Gosh, my in Laws were with us for almost three months one time, and it was totally.

[Bobby Bones]

They dug a new pole in our backyard.

[Amy]

But they were there to help us. So it was when, like, we really needed them, and it was very helpful. But also, it didn't. They didn't do anything like y'all are describing. So it didn't. Not only were they helpful, but it wasn't. It wasn't annoying things.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but they're also helpful. I mean, they're also helpful.

[Eddie]

They're very helpful.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Jump on and get helpful, man.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they'll cook. Like, they'll cook some dinner.

[Bobby Bones]

Will they ever go buy groceries? Yeah, with their own money.

[Eddie]

Mine would.

[Amy]

Yeah, they would go to Costco and come back and be like, hey, we got all this stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Now we're talking. Move the table every day if you want to buy groceries. Every day you buy groceries. You get one table move.

[Lunchbox]

They'll go buy groceries. Or if we order dinner out, they'll pay for it. I like that a lot.

[Amy]

Yeah. See, there's positives.

[Bobby Bones]

My. I'm probably at 8, which is pretty high, usually for me, because I never like to get in my rhythm. I never like to feel like my. My. My forward momentum of whatever I have happening or what we're doing is slowed. It's an 8.

[Eddie]

8'S high, though.

[Bobby Bones]

8'S high. Very high for me. Probably the highest it's ever been as far as needing the break. I was talking about this with a couple friends yesterday, including Eddie, and it's like, what I'm looking forward to the absolute most is just sleeping. I feel like I have struggled more with sleep this year than any year ever. It's just sleeping. It doesn't matter where I am. I'm just gonna sleep. I'm not gonna put any pressure on myself. We're doing. I love Caitlin's parents and that whole family. It's awesome. And one day, maybe I won't. As I'm told by certain people, you'll still lie. I am told different. Cause eventually I should get annoyed with them. So I'm told. But I'm not going to worry about that. I'm going to sleep. Even when we're all together, when I get up, I'll go be part of it.

[Eddie]

Do you ever worry about being the last one up?

[Bobby Bones]

No. I always am. I don't worry about that anymore. I did it first. I don't care. I wear cutoff shirts around. I want to be. I'd rather be my underwear, like, hanging out. But I am just going to Sleep. So that's what I'm looking forward to the most. Doesn't matter where I am. I'm not going to feel the pressure of. Hey, we're opening presents. Oh, I'll see you on the 26th. What's up?

[Amy]

Well, you should be a part.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know, I know. I was kidding. I was kidding on that part. He's kidding on that part. I'm sleeping. I'm sleeping.

[Amy]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all I'm doing. I'm sleeping. So cool.

[Eddie]

I thought what was funny though is when you were complaining about just hanging out. Everyone just hangs out.

[Bobby Bones]

It's wildest thing. Everybody just likes to. Just everybody. Well, let's spend time together. Great. But it's like spend time doing. We're not doing anything.

[Eddie]

They're just sitting on the couch.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's a lot of lollygagging just sitting around. I just. That to me it's uncomfortable because I've never done it like that before, so. Okay, Ray, let's take a little mid roll here. We'll shut her down for a second everybody, and we'll come back with more of the podcast in just a few minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

We're just good. We're back. I just found this story based on what we were talking about a minute ago. Holiday hosts say the rudest thing a guest can do. Blank. Okay, so we were talking about either being a guest during the holidays or somebody being a guest that are a place during the holidays. Lunchboxes in laws are staying for three months, which is crazy. Yeah, it's a quarter of a year, so it's rude if guests. And this is the order. I'll go five to one and you can tell me if you agree or not. Don't offer to help with dishes.

[Eddie]

Agree, agree.

[Amy]

I'm fine with that.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm fine with that too. Like, what?

[Lunchbox]

Are you kidding me?

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like. Nah, I don't want them to feel like they have to do the dishes.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't think it's. Yeah, no, it's not rude if they don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'll be honest. I don't even offer to do the dishes.

[Eddie]

Well, it's not.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I'll put some in the dishwasher. I'm not gonna go. They didn't even offer to do the dishes. No, that would never think that because I hope my wife doesn't think that about me because I'm telling you, I barely offered to do the dishes.

[Eddie]

Are we assuming this is just a couple days or like, are we doing the.

[Bobby Bones]

Doesn't really say.

[Amy]

Okay, well, let's assume it's a couple of days because that's the normal.

[Eddie]

Cause if it's two days.

[Bobby Bones]

But if it's two days, I don't think that. Let's say it's four days because it's in the middle of a couple quick. Because that never would these matter.

[Eddie]

You want to do a week then?

[Bobby Bones]

No, let's just do four because a week is like too long.

[Eddie]

A week. They better be doing everybody's laundry.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, a week. Then it should be mowing the friggin yard. Okay, okay, so, Donna, I don't agree with that. I don't want my guests for four days feeling like they should help with the dishes. Okay, so fine. Two, Two on that one. Leave the sink running. They would leave the sink running. That would be rude.

[Eddie]

I just hate it when people do that in general.

[Bobby Bones]

Like if they're in the bathroom and let's say they're doing it, but they leave the sink running the whole time as they're in there, like, brushing their teeth, doing that, and the sink's running the whole time. Do you think, man, I can't believe they're doing that. That's rude.

[Eddie]

It's not when they're brushing their teeth or anything like that. It's like when they're in the sink, like, kitchen sink. They turn it on and then they go do something else.

[Bobby Bones]

That also could be something. Yeah, hate that, dude.

[Amy]

It happens.

[Bobby Bones]

But again, I don't want them washing the dishes. They're not gonna be doing anything with the sink. Why would they have the sink on in the kitchen or they will have it on in the bathroom? Yeah, because they're gonna use their bathroom stuff.

[Lunchbox]

That's a tough one.

[Bobby Bones]

And number three, waste food. They're not a kid. They have to clean their plate.

[Eddie]

Right?

[Amy]

Yeah. This loose is weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Number two, not say thank you. They're not a kid. I would say if they leave and they've never said thanks for letting us stay here, that would be weird.

[Eddie]

What if, like, you cooked the whole meal and they didn't say thank you?

[Bobby Bones]

That's just a weird human. That's not even, like, a guest thing. Like, if somebody came to the house for a single dinner and never said, hey, thanks, that's great. I'd be like, that's weird.

[Eddie]

Kind of rude.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And then finally, the worst would be if they invite others over without notice.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that would be fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you don't have a slip to invite people over anyway. Notice. Like, why are you inviting people over? We don't even live in this city. Like, who do you know? That would be weird, right? Somebody standing there and they're inviting folks over. But that's the number one rudest thing they say that people do if they're staying as guests. Now, here are things that hosts would like to ask their guests for help with. Number five, Preparing meals or cooking?

[Eddie]

Nah.

[Amy]

I mean, it just depends.

[Bobby Bones]

I think there's an expectation if you're staying for a bit of time for, let's say, four days to a week or two weeks, it just starts to be. Also, it's just kind of your job to be a part of.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, pitch in. I get that.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, there's. Yeah, there's some. Whatever that threshold is of days. Then it's the. It's expected that you either you order the Uber Eats dinner, or you're like, hey, we're gonna cook this meal for a night that type thing, wiping down surfaces. I guess if the. Sure, that would be helpful. That'd be helpful. Taking out the trash now. I don't want you in my trash. I got it. I'm good. Really. You can open the liners. I hate opening the liners. Like I'll take the trash out. You wanna. That's all good. Number two, washing dishes and then setting the dinner table. Who in the holy formal sets a dinner table?

[Eddie]

Only on Thanksgiving. That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like it's like the plates are in that cabinet. Sometimes I won't even. I'll just use a paper towel. If it's not wet, I'll just put spoon because I don't want to put the dish up.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So this is from SWNS Digital. I just saw that story based on what we were just talking about here. This is not my. It's not a problem. Even a question. It's not even that annoying. Only slightly. But we're going to go to Brett, Brett Eldridge's Christmas show tonight. And I don't know how the show that shook out there but the College Football playoff first games tonight during the show.

[Amy]

Oh, so who's in it?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, one game tonight, Notre Dame, Indiana. But it's the first time it's ever happened and there's been a 12 team playoff. Pretty cool. And I like football better than Christmas.

[Eddie]

So you're going to miss the show.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to go to the show. It's my friend.

[Amy]

But you're going to be watching football.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not. I don't think I can. I can't because that's my friend. If it was like a regular concert, I think I would. I guess it depends on where we are, where we're sitting. Anybody for myself, like if I'm get. If I'm giving the best tickets to like my friends or family. You'd never sit anybody in the first three or four rows. Front row is not cool. It doesn't sound good. You're too close. So the best seats are like eight or nine rows back. Usually in the middle or like it's a ryman which is not where this is. Sometimes the best seats are up on that second level in the first three or four rows. In the second level because you're up. The problem's going to be if I'm guessing right. Don't know that I am but I probably am. We'll probably be sitting with Brett's family. I can't really be watching a football.

[Amy]

Game but I mean he would probably understand.

[Lunchbox]

Dang we're sitting with Brett's family.

[Bobby Bones]

You will not be. You will not be.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you can't do that, man.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just. It's more about. He would understand.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's not about him. It's like his mom and dad are sitting next to me, and I'm watching Notre Dame in Indiana. Heck, son, I know them well. I play pickleball with Brett's dad some, so it's not even like. I just feel like I can't really?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I can only check a score occasionally.

[Amy]

Well, you can go to the bathroom.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't go to the bathroom during shows out of principle. No movie. I poop my pants. I ain't going to the bathroom, and I'm not walking.

[Amy]

You don't leave even at Bridgestone?

[Bobby Bones]

Nope.

[Eddie]

Ever.

[Amy]

Ever.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I guess if I. If I don't care about the show.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not gonna leave while the show's happening. I might miss something. They may end up calling me on stage. I'm not even there.

[Eddie]

That's a good point.

[Bobby Bones]

They're like, come on down. And they're like, wait, I guess he's on.

[Eddie]

He's in the bathroom.

[Bobby Bones]

He's in the pooper. Oh, God dang. I don't want that to happen. Oh, yeah. I don't. Once it's on, I don't leave. If I don't care, I'll leave. But this is a show. I do care, and it's a great show. I'm not gonna leave.

[Amy]

That would be crazy.

[Eddie]

So you're just gonna check the score once in a while?

[Bobby Bones]

I guess, occasionally. Occasionally what? I wish there was an invention, and they don't have it because the goggles aren't that. I wish there was something that was like swim goggles or something you could put over your glasses or your eyes and it would just show you your phone, not a whole new contraption. That's because Apple has those goggles, and it's its own device. It's putting screens up, and it's amazing as far as the technology, but I wish I could put something over my eyes and just see my phone. So if I'm scrolling my phone down below my waist, I'm seeing everything on my phone without me looking at my phone or without the light coming out. Because at night when we're in bed, some nights I just want to be on TikTok for 15 minutes and she's already asleep, but I know the light is a freaking sun Ball in the bedroom. If I had this, that light would not be going out. It would just be. I would just be able to see it in my eyes. And it's not a new. But it's my phone. And so if I scroll up, it's in your eyes.

[Eddie]

That'd be cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That's what I wish. They would make more than a whole new contraption that makes you feel like you're on Uranus watching Shark Week with a football game to the side. You know, all that's cool and stuff. But let's do the simple things first.

[Eddie]

You know how they have those cars where you look through the windshield and you can see the speedometer? I don't know how they do that, but if they can.

[Amy]

It's reflecting.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I love it. I have one of my.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. I think it's. I can see my speed limit. I'm like, oh, this is helpful.

[Eddie]

Maybe we can do that with the glasses.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, maybe you ain't doing crap and neither am I.

[Eddie]

Well, I mean, you know, but it would have technology, the people that do that.

[Bobby Bones]

But that would have to be a.

[Amy]

Reflection on his chin and it reflecting up.

[Bobby Bones]

So. But. And there would still be light.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So what would happen in this invention that I cannot invent and never will because I know nothing about inventing things. Would be. As soon as it's on, that light shuts down and only what's in your eyes happens.

[Amy]

But, like, you know your movements.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You're literally on your screen. It's like a green screen. Even when they're pointing at the map and the weather and stuff, that's not actually there. They're seeing it on a small screen in front of them. But on your phone, it would just be black. But you're touching it and you know it. Cause you see it in your eyes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I can't. I don't know how to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I knew. I knew that. I didn't think you did. And I don't either. And I don't know. I think that would be a pretty cool little invention for them to have. I think Apple should invent that.

[Amy]

Someone's working on that, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No, because I think it's a half step back from what they're already doing. Oh, I don't think they would go backwards. Yeah. They'll probably try to make the goggle smaller. The problem with those goggles. And I think I would wear them more because they're outrageous as far as how much they cost. And I would not buy them again. I would not buy the same thing again, mistake for me to buy them. But they are really cool and I use them on very rare occasions. You need some sort of light. Not a lot, but you need some bit of light source in order for them to work at all. You can't go full dark and then it show you all the stuff. If it were able to go full dark, this would meet what I need with my phone. But full dark, there's not enough light for it to work. You need to have some in order for it to know what's in front of you, to start projecting images for some reason. So I've been thinking about that for a long time.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I can tell.

[Bobby Bones]

Mostly because my wife's like, are you selling your phone? It's so bright. And I'm like, yeah. Then I build a fort. I told you that. I build a fort with my knees. And then even then the COVID like, comes over the top of it and just. Why can't they keep us from having to build forts? Isn't that one of the biggest problems in America right now, having to build forts over your phones?

[Eddie]

Maybe not number one, but it's close.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, exactly. It's like one. That list I just read. Okay, that's my first world problem. The oldest known stone tablet inscribed with the Ten Commandments sells for over $5 million.

[Eddie]

For real?

[Bobby Bones]

For real. Well, it's not actual. The Ten Commandments.

[Amy]

Oh, I think it's even missing one. It's missing a commandment.

[Lunchbox]

So then that's not even real.

[Amy]

Well, no, but again, they're not even.

[Bobby Bones]

Saying it's real as in the ones. Yeah, but it's the oldest. Like, once the commandments exist, adults, they have now were the ones that Moses.

[Eddie]

Brought down from the mountain. I just read that. I'm trying to read the Bible and I just read that one.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, you're reading what you're talking about? I'm saying for the first time.

[Eddie]

For the first time.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't we lower that like eight?

[Amy]

No. At church. They're reading the entire Bible.

[Eddie]

Yeah, in two years.

[Amy]

The entire Bible.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't know the story.

[Eddie]

I know all those stories.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm saying. It's crazy. He did not. Hold on, let him talk. Go ahead.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't. I know all those stories separately, like. Oh, yeah, I've heard that. But to kind of read it in order is pretty crazy. And that's where I'm at. I literally read that last night.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but you didn't know Moses, he.

[Eddie]

Went, God called him to the top of the mountain.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Eddie]

And he said, here, take these down. These are the ten Commandments. Tell the people, the Israelites, this is the new rule. And he goes down and tells everyone.

[Bobby Bones]

Three months ago, if I said, hey, tell me the story of the ten Commandments.

[Eddie]

No clue. Some guy held them up. I remember the movie where the guy has like, I bring to you the 15 and then he drops the tablet. He's like, I mean, ten Commandments.

[Amy]

What movie?

[Eddie]

I don't know. It's like, who's the Melville?

[Bobby Bones]

Monty Python type movie. Yeah, like Blazing Saddles or something.

[Eddie]

He's like, I got the 15 and it breaks. He's like, I mean, 10 commandments.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Like he wouldn't have known it until now.

[Lunchbox]

I wouldn't have known it.

[Amy]

I didn't mean to.

[Bobby Bones]

Sotheby said the 155 pound marble slab was acquired by an anonymous buyer who plans to donate it to an Israeli institution. Apparently the anonymous buyer showed up and was in like a robe and had kind of long hair, little mustache stuff and then bought it. And then they looked over and he was gone. Okay. Some say he floated away. I don't know who that could have been. But the New York based auction house said the final price exceeded the pre sale estimate of 1 million to 2 million. Ended up over $5 million. The tablets date from 300 to 800 AD and are inscribed with the commandments in Paleo Hebrew script. It was unearthed during a railroad excavation in 1913 and was not recognized as historically significant at first. Sotheby said the tablet was used as a paving stone at a local home until 1943. And the text inscribed follows the biblical verses similar to Christian and Jewish traditions, but omits the third commandment. It gets taken the name of the Lord in vain. I wonder if they just didn't like that one or if they just forgot. Sometimes I'll be working on stuff like, oh, I forgot to. You know, I do top nine boy bands and for some reason I don't put number four in there. I just accidentally miss it.

[Amy]

Or they just like saying like, God.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, maybe. Yeah. It includes a new.

[Amy]

Darn it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think they made. It includes a new directive to worship on Mount Gerizim, a holy site specific to the Samaritans. Oh, they added their own little.

[Eddie]

Okay, all right. Just for fun, throwing in there.

[Bobby Bones]

That is from the ap. That would be pretty crazy. You have it and you're using it as a cutting board. All this for 10 years. Wait a Second you're chopping your broccoli on the Ten Commandments, the oldest one ever. Or they can find Drones, drones, drones. What do we know? What do we. Are you guys keeping up at all?

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm over it. It's nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

It is just beginning. New Jersey's Department of Energy Department environmental protections, they have debunked a theory about radioactive material and it all comes to the drones. People are still seeing, even in new places now. There. There are now cities that are seeing it again now for the first time, which is odd.

[Eddie]

I saw Knoxville was one of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, there's some stuff here. What?

[Eddie]

Here in town.

[Amy]

Where?

[Bobby Bones]

There. There's some stuff here.

[Eddie]

I've been looking up or.

[Amy]

You saw people.

[Chumba Casino Ad]

You know, people.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, if it's dark. If it's dark, I'm in bed. I'm done. I'm out. Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

The only lights coming from your tent.

[Eddie]

Correct. Your knee tent.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all I'll say for now. But there's some stuff happening here.

[Amy]

You know something?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What do you know?

[Amy]

Why are you not seeing it?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. I don't know anything. I just. There's just stuff happening here now a little bit, so. But here could be any. I don't know what's happening around the rest of the country, but there's stuff happening here too.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna be looking.

[Bobby Bones]

Not something that I will say on this microphone.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So. Yeah, then they go through and I don't know, they got a general talking. Most of the estimated drones fly daily are gonna be commercial. And they're like making excuses like most of the drones are commercial drones flown for architecture, engineering and farming.

[Eddie]

Well, we knew that.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, no crap. Those already drones can't see. Okay. Unless they're looking for thermal or they're smelling. Like there have to be a drone's not flying over with the same capabilities to see or. No, nothing does at night. Unless you have like a night. Night vision vision type thing.

[Amy]

NVGs.

[Bobby Bones]

And so you're looking.

[Eddie]

What's the G?

[Amy]

Goggle. Night vision goggles.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Which the goggle part pro wouldn't be on a drone, but the NV would be.

[Amy]

Yeah, Maybe the drone has cute little goggles. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe it does. So the theory is there's something that it's looking for, they're looking for that could be felt, smelled, thermaled, etc. That's the world. That's the working theory that I subscribe to most.

[Amy]

Why they got to do it? Oh, yeah. Okay. Never mind.

[Eddie]

What at night.

[Amy]

No, I get it now. I know I've questions, it doesn't matter.

[Bobby Bones]

And I probably don't have the answer.

[Amy]

And then it's like, I was just like, can they just like give us give everybody a break for Christmas? But I guess if they're trying to find something, they might need to find it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, maybe they're looking for the perfect Christmas tree.

[Amy]

But yeah, I'm just like, if I was living in one of those places where they are constantly there, I just wouldn't be able to relax for Christmas.

[Eddie]

No chance.

[Amy]

So we should give them a break.

[Eddie]

If I had car sized drones flying over my house every day, like, no, I'm not sleeping right.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's say though they do give it a break and then something explodes. They couldn't find it during the break.

[Eddie]

No, no, I'm saying, well they were on breaking.

[Bobby Bones]

I keep going.

[Amy]

That's what, that's what I'm saying. Like I can't. That's why I was going to say it. And then I paused because I'm like, well if they're looking for something that they need to find and they probably can't take a break.

[Bobby Bones]

Think about the two options if you really boil it down. One, our government high ranking officials don't know what it is. That's one of the major options. They don't know what it is. And the reason they're not telling us is because they're still trying to figure it out. They don't exactly know what it is, but they know. Since they don't know what it is. That ain't good. Okay, so that would be one. The other one is they know what it is. They know exactly what it is and they're not telling us. Now there's a lot of things they don't tell us, but a lot of things they don't tell us. We wouldn't know that they're not telling us because we don't know about it. This is something that's happening so often in so many places that has become a news story that even like normal news at 6:00pm on a channel talks about. Not just TikTok like normal news. You know who watches that?

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

No, like Pete, like regular folks that don't subscribe to TikTok crazy theories. Yeah, like nor that nor. So they do know. So the other side is the government does know, but they won't tell us. Even if it's become so big they won't even tell us a lie. They won't Even give us to try to call. So either they know and they don't tell us anything. That's weird because sometimes they know and we're like, oh, God, I wonder what this is. They'll be like, oh, don't worry, it's Easter Bunny. And we're like, oh, we feel good now. And it may not even be the Easter Bunny, but they'll do something. They'll say something. They're saying nothing.

[Eddie]

But what's weird, though, is these have lights on them. If they didn't want to be seen.

[Bobby Bones]

Or be secretive, they probably need the lights.

[Eddie]

Right. So I don't think, like, they knew that at some point we were going to see these.

[Bobby Bones]

That's my point with this set with my second thing here.

[Eddie]

Right. That's the first one.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, those are the two. Those are the only two options.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but the first one, like, if they didn't know what it was, they would have shot it down.

[Bobby Bones]

And who's to say they haven't shot some down?

[Eddie]

We would hear it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but you would think you would hear. Or. No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't.

[Eddie]

If we wouldn't hear a.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not going to have to be a missile. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't have to be.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Some of them have crashed and you didn't hear those?

[Eddie]

Oh, they've crashed. Not the one that I'm talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

Other big ones, though. I just.

[Amy]

Like a drone doesn't like even.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't know, actually, even drones that aren't the small ones that have nothing to do what we're talking about when they crash. You don't hear them?

[Eddie]

No, no. But these are big, right?

[Bobby Bones]

These are big ones, but these are. There are other big ones that crash and we don't hear them. You just think everybody's going to hear everything. They're mostly flying over places. Water, military, nuclear power plants. It's odd, that. One, if they don't know, or two, if they do and they're not telling us. We don't need to know everything, but usually they tell us something if it becomes such a big story. To calm us the F down. Yeah.

[Amy]

I'm going to try not to think about it anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

Even if it's a lie, they tell us something. So that's why it's weird. And they've sent things up to look at it, and the batteries come out, they drain and they come back, they fall back down.

[Eddie]

Our things that we send up to look at.

[Bobby Bones]

Who knows? I don't know. You think they're telling us?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I don't know, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly. That's my point. Finally.

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody knows.

[Amy]

Nobody knows.

[Bobby Bones]

So. But when you declare you know that one of them is not right.

[Eddie]

Oh, the first one to me, I feel like that's not right because.

[Bobby Bones]

But you don't know.

[Eddie]

I don't know. But we started this whole thing with no one knows.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're claiming you know something. No, by you going, you're for sure. That is not right. That's you claiming you know something.

[Eddie]

For sure. To me, that's not right.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not a thing for sure to you.

[Eddie]

For sure to me.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's not.

[Eddie]

I believe that's not right.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, it's weird. And in the end, are they just like looking at the shape of land? What do they call that when they take those things out and they survey. Yeah, survey it. Probably not.

[Amy]

No, because they get. During the day.

[Bobby Bones]

We also may never know. We also may be told something after it's all over. That's a lie to just to calm everybody down.

[Eddie]

Oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's wild. This is such a big news story on the even normal news and we're getting nothing. That's the weird part. It's also weird somebody comes out and yells, I ran immediately.

[Amy]

Yeah, that was weird.

[Bobby Bones]

But not somebody on TikTok like lawmaker a lot.

[Amy]

Yeah, right.

[Bobby Bones]

Comes out and goes, lawmaker. And there's a mothership. That's weird.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know. I kind of want to.

[Bobby Bones]

Or is he weird? Or does he. Is he the only one that's actually saying something that he shouldn't be saying?

[Amy]

Where is he now?

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly.

[Eddie]

Good question.

[Amy]

Because I would either be like. Like if I was knew him or whatever, I'd be like, okay, either you're. Yes. Like Bobby said, you know something. Or I'd be like, we need to get him help.

[Eddie]

I mean, there are lawmakers that are like completely normal.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Eddie]

They're just people too.

[Amy]

Right, I know. That's why I need. We need to check medication.

[Bobby Bones]

Like I remember. Unless he's the only one that is that.

[Mandy B]

Or.

[Bobby Bones]

And he's going to be treated like a crazy person.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

If he's the only one that's like, I must be the whistleblower to the public. They often are treated like the crazy person. Like, and then they get killed or they get, you know, taken out of their different groups in Senate House, you know, whatever.

[Eddie]

Like, when I worked for the news, I went to a bar where all like the officials hang out all the senators and the representatives, like, they go, like, after session, and they go all hang out there. And I went to the bathroom, and on the bathroom walls are like, not for a good time. Call whatever. It was like, House Bill 271 sucks. And then somebody be like, no, House Bill 2213 sucks.

[Bobby Bones]

This is from NIAC Action. It's the NIAC Council. National Iranian American Council welcomes the retraction of Congressman Jeff Van Drew's false and dangerous claim that an Iranian mothership was responsible for the alleged drone sighted in the airspace of New Jersey. NIAC urged that congressman correct his statement in a letter last Thursday. This means nothing to me. Not that I believe him, but also it doesn't make me think that he did it because he then believed the opposite. It's wild. It's one of those things you don't want to think about, because if you do, it's not even the extraterrestrial stuff or it's the uap. It's like, what? What are they looking for? If it's us, if it's not us, why aren't we shooting them down? Because if it's another country and we could, we probably would, like, what's up? Tell us a lie. Make us feel good for a minute. It's Christmas, like Amy said.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Mike, what do you think it is?

[Mike]

I think some got out.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, got out, like the new. That A nuke that's somewhere. Somewhere.

[Mike]

And they're looking for, like, some experiment got out. They're looking for it. Be some weird out there.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, Teen Wolf.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Did they ever find those mon.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why it's night.

[Lunchbox]

That's a great question. Whatever.

[Eddie]

The monkeys that got out, who know. And they, like. They were like, oh, we found five of them. Now we found six of them, but there are a lot of them. Maybe it's the monkeys, maybe looking for monkeys.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like they'd be flying them in the daytime. They'd go, we're looking for the monkeys. And please call us if you see a monkey. Totally. Yeah.

[Eddie]

They would do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe. Maybe.

[Eddie]

But, yeah, that's a good theory, Mike. That they're looking for something that got out.

[Mike]

Yeah, they were testing something. Creating something. Some creature got out. Something.

[Bobby Bones]

Me, I thought, like, nuclear. Something nuclear that got smuggled across.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. What if it's something they created that only comes out at night, like in. Like in from.

[Mike]

Because it's the fact that they've said nothing. Like, if it was.

[Bobby Bones]

To me, it's like, an actual physical.

[Mike]

Thing like, oh, this is missing and we're looking for this. They have to say what's missing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. If you see a two headed guy with long fangs, sometimes in daytime wears a suit. So don't be full, but be on the lookout, like even let us know that.

[Amy]

What if the drones have taken over and they have a mind of their own and they only fly at night and they're on a mission. They're like little AI drones.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like we'd try to shoot them down if they had a life of their own. And we may have. And may have shot some down like we said, and not known. They keep popping up in new cities.

[Amy]

Right. But they're multiplying.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, the gremlins.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

At night. They at night.

[Amy]

Or they know, like if you destroy them all, like something else bad will happen.

[Bobby Bones]

So here's my. I wouldn't even say it's a prediction, but if this thing just goes away quietly.

[Eddie]

They found the creature.

[Bobby Bones]

It was some. It was some bad stuff.

[Amy]

Okay, well, I'm fine with that. Just go away.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.

[Mike]

I think we're never gonna know if it.

[Bobby Bones]

If we never know it was some bad stuff. And thank God we never had to know.

[Eddie]

I'm cool with that.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's probably one of the better case scenarios.

[Mike]

Think of how many things we just don't know about for sure.

[Amy]

Oh, for sure so much.

[Bobby Bones]

And thank God the more friends or people I've gotten to know that work in industries that deal with some of that stuff even. There's an FBI agent that I know in not my current group now, but he's older, retired, he's like, you just don't even want to know because they'll scare you. To know what we're constantly on and either trying to stop or luckily they don't continue or we are not able to stop. And I'm not talking about aliens. I'm talking about like sex trafficking. I'm talking about terrorism. Yes, terrorism, international and domestic. Yeah, the night thing, the drones. Come on, drones. Give us Christmas, man.

[Eddie]

Come on, give us a break.

[Bobby Bones]

Like Amy said, take a break. You know, I have a couple weeks on us. Have some, have some in laws over drones for a couple weeks and then meet us back at the new year and do your thing. Yeah, that's it. All right, I think we're done here. Thank you guys. I will say that we will not be on the air. However, we are planning to do some podcasts, hopefully over the break that you'll get to listen to. I have a setup studio at my house. There's just. Just be on the lookout. There will be stuff.

[Eddie]

And Felice Navidad that will be on.

[Bobby Bones]

The radio show will not be on a podcast, but it will be on YouTube. Probably on YouTube today, actually. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it'll be on YouTube today.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's up there.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you, guys. Let's hope when we come back, we make a note to go, whatever happened to those drones? Because that means it'll be over.

[Eddie]

That'd be nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Mm.

[Eddie]

That's what I want for Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

If we never know, that means it was something significant or we never come back. That's true. Maybe. But if we never.

[Eddie]

In my case, I love you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

If we never know, that means it was something significant. If they tell us, who knows we're telling the truth or not. And it could have been something significant, but maybe not. But at this point, we're not being told. So it is something significant.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Just because they're not telling us anything. Yeah, that's it. Thank you all and we will see you. Well, since you're a podcaster, we'll talk to you pretty soon on the radio show. You won't hear a new show for a while until we get back from vacation, but that's it. Thank you and goodbye.
