Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Holiday Drinking Traditions

• Crew's College Drink Stories:

  • Amy: Flaming Dr. Peppers, Jager Bombs, White Russians.
  • Morgan: Burnett’s vodka (“a bookcase full in college”).
  • Lunchbox: Long Island Iced Tea ($2 at The Library on 6th Street—“you’d go in with 10 bucks and be smashed”).
  • Eddie: Irish Car Bomb (“after two, you’re done”).

• Bobby reflects on how he missed these traditions: “I come from alcoholics and there was drinking all the time, but that was just normal… I didn’t know people who aren’t alcoholics also drank at the holidays.” [12:27]

2. Listener Pet Peeves and Show Quirks

• Banter follows about other commonly mispronounced words such as “espresso.”

3. Nashville Christmas Events: Brett Eldredge’s Concert vs. Opry

• A listener asks the show for advice on Nashville Christmas events.
• Bobby: “I’d be the last person to ask what to do in this town…” but recommends Brett Eldredge’s Christmas show (“he’s my best friend—full orchestra, all Christmas music, it’s amazing”). [17:08]

  • Lunchbox tries to blame someone else: “I didn’t tell you nothing.” [24:35]

6. Abby Involved in a Hit-and-Run Accident
