It's time for the Bobby Bones post show. Here's your host, Bobby Bones. Yes. A couple things, because it's end of the year, nobody wants to be like, I'll leave in this place all butt hurt. So I'm not going to be butt hurt. Also, I have a new resolution too. I've been added 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 a new year, a time to do that. So first off, Eddie? Yes. I regret to have to tell you this.

Oh, no. Hey, Scooby, you know what you told me a bit ago? Oh, yeah. You guys are talking about me? We had to. It's not good. It's not good. Not good at all.

So does anybody else know? No one? Or did you keep it? Mike and Ray know because they're part of the logistics of it. Ray, too? Dude, they're the ones. So they run things. Like, Ray's runs all the audio on the board. Like, so anything happening on the show is, yeah. He's the first one to see it. Yeah. So, uh, Felice Navidaa got taken off the air.

What? What? I know. Why? It got taken, like it was on and then pool? It wasn't even on. So we went on, 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 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. 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 but that's not even it's not even so I want you to feel it I want you to get all your emotions out

And then I'll tell you. I know you've been dealing with this. And I haven't really understood the kind 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. 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 going to replay it two times on the 23rd. Oh, okay. Christmas Eve. Yes. So the Christmas Double E If it were abroad, it'd be double E

And On Brauday We'll replay it twice Okay Hopefully people are listening That day 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 getting Like I may not getting upset Amy I'm sensing

It's just I'm sensing this is upset, though. It's just not, 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 can be talking about that was 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 Eddie Your pain I'm sorry for it We're gonna fix it

My pain not been fixed I'm sorry for your pain too I feel your pain It drops down to being you guys It's pain too 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 It's just a library What am I eight That's all my kids say

I've not had enough water My left should try My son argued with me That it was called Liberia. I might have done that to you right now as 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, does this matter? 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 Felice Navida. Like the old days. Yes, it'll be on the 23rd.

Okay, so everyone just jump back in your cars on the 23rd. Just stay in your car. Or just turn it on in their house. house. Well, who has a radio in their house? Oh. Well, they said they have smart speakers in their house. Yeah. Yeah. So what do they say? Fine, Bobby Von Show, Eddie, singing, Philly's

Niveydide? I don't even think that's it. I think it's good, but 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. Can we do that? Yeah, we got it already. Ray's already doing it right now. On the 23rd? Yeah, the 23rd. All right, that's first thing. Thank you, Ray. Thank you, Scoo. 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 the engineering and 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. I hear you, but now this is another thing you didn't know. It took the 11th time. It took the 11th time to fix it.

It took my song. Well, this is a different one. The other problem we have is with an actual program. Eddie, you're not the victim anymore. You're moving past, you're going to get a double play. and double ease on my life. You know what, though? I took the sacrifice. Wow, you're a martyr.

Scott Stap over there. Dang, dude. His sacrifice. Man sacrifice. Okay, that's the first thing. Okay. We're about to hit some Christmas break. How and how much on one to ten scale and then what are you going to do?

Amy, you go first. How excited are you? And what shall you be doing? I'm a ten. Oh, good. 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 in Colorado so they'll

be with me we're on a Friday to Friday so you'll both be in Colorado for different people yeah we've always it's that's what we've always done his family's their my family that's convenient so yeah and it's a really small town so it is convenient we'll definitely run into him um and then on Friday we'll swap the kids will go be with him and then I saw I'll be there and 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. So, okay, let's do you, Eddie. What's your scale? And then what's the one thing you're most excited about for Christmas break?

Oh, I'm a 10 for sure. And the most excited thing 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. What about like taking care of the kids and stuff? Oh, I mean, that's what they're going to be there.

That's part of life every day. 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 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 wait but what about a chair like a chair like a chair 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 but like your mid too are old enough to like get up and do their own days except for the youngest. I left them at the house for like an hour of the day, the middle two. But that's, shouldn't that be fine?

No, because when I got back, I'm like, gosh, I hope the house is like, okay. Okay, but that's because of a maturity level, not because of an age and a capability level. Right, right. And putting the two together. Yeah. If you left one, you probably would have to worry about that.

Correct. But both of them together, they could team up and really do some damage. They will look at the living room and be like, okay, let's move that couch. That's end zone one. That's so funny. And that's end zone two.

And then we've got to do field goals. So let's get the chairs and they'll stack the chairs to make field goals and kick field goals in the living room. With your two sons, 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?

Always close. They're always together. Are they together because they're just the same age? Or are they like best friends 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? Would they consider the other brother to be their best friend? Man, that's a good question. I've never asked them that. Because again, you can be friends just at 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 you kill some days. Yeah, yeah. But I wonder if they feel that they could, how old are, 10? Yeah, one of them's about to be 10 and the other one's 11. So that's old enough to have a best friend though Sure

Do you think they think they're best friends? And I feel like they do But they will never label themselves as best friends Or even say it to the other one Right Right 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 Do they hug each other ever? No Mm-mm.

Do they ever hug, do any of your four boys hug any of your four boys? The oldest hugs, all of them. Okay. He's kind of the more like... He's older, mature. Yeah, yeah. But is he also more of an empath or a feeler? 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 get home from school, he's like, what's up? Says hi, gives him a hug. 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? 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, uh-oh, or like, well, that was cool. But they don't think about what they do before they do it. And your oldest son wasn't like that. Didn't have that stage.

No. Never. That's fun. 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 and, like, jump on a pile of rocks and I'll never worry about it because he doesn't get hurt. Yeah, I often thought if we did your youngest versus Stanley the Bulldog at, like, a pay-per-view would do well because he'd be at the house and Stanley would see someone his own size, so Stanley's going to play and jump. And they would just, it's like, it's like Iron Man and Captain American when they're slamming into each other. That's kind of what it was.

And at the end, they're both like, whoa, what the crap. And your kid's like, oh, and then Stanley's like, little stars over their heads. And then all of the sudden, you're like, is one of the, and then they're back up again at it again. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But you know what's crazy, though, for Christmas, we're going to 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? All cousins, one girl. It's crazy. lunchbox's excited level and what you look at four to most? 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 six. Wow. The entire two weeks. Isn't it helpful, though, that they're here because they can help with the kids? But isn't two weeks... That's a long time. It's a long time.

Yeah, I think the two weeks maybe... They were just here for a week for Thanksgiving. Wow. And I thought, okay, they're coming for a few days for Christmas, and then they're out. No, they're not leaving until January 2nd. There's a little tear in there. Not specifically about your in-laws, but man, anybody's staying for two weeks.

Yeah, they're not getting an Airbnb. They're in the guest room. Okay, but I understand that. That's your in-laws. Yeah, 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, ding. On and on, right? Sure. 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, 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 sat. And I'm like, okay, the alarm's on.

You can't, you can't open the door. Because it's going to go off. And then there's going to be. And so then I get nervous. That's going to happen because I'll forget because they're not supposed to remember. They don't live. All that is like a little bit of with anybody who stays there. But man, two weeks.

That's, that's. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, it'll be, I mean, whatever. But do they help? But can your wife like leave, like Amy said, and you guys go do some stuff while they're at home with the kids? I mean, I guess we could. But my wife's like, oh, I feel bad. I want to spend time with my family.

Well, y'all shouldn't feel bad. No, no, no, but she wants to spend time. If they were there for three days, fully support that. They were just there for Thanksgiving, and they're going to be there for two weeks. Like, you should say, I thought you wore the pants. Tell your wife, we're going to go do something. At two weeks, you should probably leave for a couple days. You should probably go on vacation.

No, not I. You and your wife should probably get to do like a couple of, like, a couple of, days. Yeah, but her sister's coming too. But she's not staying at your house. No, she is. We got an air mattress for the little. No way. No way. She's coming for two weeks too? No, no, no. She's only coming. I don't know how many days she's coming for. I don't know. I have no idea. That also's 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.

Yeah, and then her brother's coming. But there's no chance he's staying in your house. He's only staying for 48 hours. Oh, air mattress? Oh, air mattress? Oh my goodness. In the living room. It's like home alone. Or jail. Or jail. In a big room when they all put all the inmates in the...

Yeah, yeah, it's a hostel. Yeah, we just have an extra air mattress and then we can close them in the office. I guess you can close the door there. That's fun. I love having everybody in the house. I have no idea. I mean, they want to get a hotel. They may have gotten a hotel.

My wife was upset that they were thinking about getting a hotel. And I was like... I agree. Everybody else is fun, but two weeks is a long time, right? It's a long time to not have, not be able to do your natural habitat thing. not knowing how long somebody's going to stay and maybe he does. 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. 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. Yeah. My wife was sad about that because he's never come to visit ever and he's coming for 48 hours. Well, that's cool. can get. Yeah, I agree. But I think, hey, he's never come. He'll come.

I mean, 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? Oh, I don't even think about a cot type situation. Like a Walmart. But they got fancy air mattresses. They do. Really nice. Like we have one. You're not talking about the kind that you like go to the lake with. Well, I have one that's like that. I've slept on those and I'm like rolling. I can never stay in the middle of them. I kind of rams like an air tube. Yeah. I have both. I have one that's like a. 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 six inches off the ground. Yeah, they make nice ones now. 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 Amy? They're having this conversation right now about you. How long are you there?

And they've got four kids. So like we're going to 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 size house? I think a couple different things. One. But at least you're not married so you can sleep on the couch. It's also like lunchboxes is in-laws.

I know I was saying more like my sister's husband. Like what's he saying? Well, I'm saying they're older. They're not like peers. Yeah, you're fun, I'm sure. Well, you guys are all the same age. You can talk about the same stuff. Yeah.

I don't know, when somebody's parents are there, you have to act a bit different. 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. 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 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? Do you say that you're also a dirty clothes hamper, mind your own business? 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. Got it. And they're like, I can't believe you're not going to bathe them tonight. And I'm like, it's 8 o'clock. 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. Like my mother-in-law, she was. Here we go. Go ahead. Oh my gosh, guys. 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 are my plants? She's like, oh, they were dead. I'm like, no, they weren't. They weren't dead. And also it's your stuff. You should throw away your stuff. Man, I wanted to say that so bad. Good for you for nine.

But I didn't. I didn't. Yeah, nobody'd 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.

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. You're out of your mind. That's wild. That's wild. And I was just like, huh, came home, the kitchen table was in a different spot. And I'm like, they're like, it looks better over here. And I'm like, this is my. house. And I was just like, wow. So did you keep it there or move it back?

No, I just left, I was like, 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. Yeah, probably wasn't even about where the table actually was. That was a big one, man. I still think about that one. 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. Yeah. Without asking him.

That's pretty crazy. Do you ever feel like they influence your wife? They're like, hey, 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. Ooh, it'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 they use each other to beat you? Maybe. Maybe your wife has things. She's like, I just can't get them and your parents like 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. Maybe. I mean, but we don't really do. I mean, there's not really big things that we have to influence over because there's not really much going on. That table, man, that's going to fire me up today. There's no reason for it too. but if I were to come home and the table

were completely moved by somebody was staying at my house, it 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. That was a rough one. That was a rough one.

Gosh, my in-laws were with us for almost three months one time. And it was total. They dug a new pole in her backyard. But they were there to help us. So it was when we really needed them and it was very helpful. But also they didn't do anything

like y'all are describing. So it didn't, not only were they help, but it wasn't, it wasn't annoying things. Yeah, but they're also helpful. Sure, they're very helpful. Yeah, they'll cook. Yeah, jump on in, I guess. They're helpful, man. They'll cook, like, they'll cook some dinner.

Will they ever go buy groceries? Yeah. With their own money? Mine would. Yeah. Oh, they would go to Costco and come back and be like, hey, we got all this stuff. Now we're talking, moves the table every day. Yeah.

If you want to buy groceries, every day you buy groceries, you get one table moved. They'll go buy groceries, or if we order dinner out, they'll pay for it. That's good. I like that a lot. Yeah, see, there's positives. I'm probably at eight, which is pretty high usually for me, because I never like to get out of my rhythm. I never like to feel like my forward momentum of whatever I have happening

or what we're doing is slowed. It's an eight. Eight's high, though. Eight'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've struggled more of what's.

sleep this year than any year ever. It's just sleeping. It doesn't matter where I am. I'm just going to sleep. Am I going to put any pressure on myself? We're doing. I love Caitlin's parents. And that old family, it's awesome. And one day, maybe I won't, as I'm told by certain people. You'll still love them. I am told by different because 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 to get. And when I get up, I'll go be part of it. Do you ever worry about being the last one up? No, I always am.

I don't worry about that anymore. I did it first. I don't care. I wear cut off shirts around. 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. It doesn't matter where I am.

I'm not going to fill the pressure of, hey, we're opening presents. Oh, I see on 26. What's up? Well, you should be a part. No, I know, I know. I'm kidding. I was kidding on that part. I was kidding on that part.

I'm sleeping. That's going to be good. That's all I'm doing. I'm sleeping. So, cool. I thought what was funny, though, is when you were complaining about just... Hanging out. Everyone just hangs out.

It's a wildest thing. Everybody just like, well, let's spend time together. Great. But it's like spend time doing... We're not doing anything. They just sit on the couch. Yeah, there's a lot of lollygagging. Just sitting around.

I just, I'm, 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 for a few minutes. You can have a piece of a few minutes. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast, a slight change of plans,

a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent. and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Financial education is not always about, like, I'm gonna get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money,

American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming. Ramers sending on to Ernie Stewart for Chip. I'm Todd Ramos. I'm Tom Bowker. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, you'll get the real storylines. I'm not worried about Polisic. I'm not worried about Balligan.

I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals.

The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen, inside American soccer with Tom Bogart and Tabram. on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. We're just good. We're back. I just found the story based on what we're talking about a minute ago. Holiday hosts say the rudest thing a guest can do blank. Okay, so we're talking about either being a guest during the holidays or somebody being a guest

that are a place during the holidays. Lunchbox is in-laws are standing 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.

Agree. I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that too. What? Are you kidding me? I feel like, no, I don't want them to feel like they have to do the dishes. Yeah, I don't think it's, yeah, no, it's not rude if they don't.

Yeah, I'll be honest, I don't even offer to do the dishes. Well, it's not required. I'm not going to go, they didn't even offer to do the dishes. No, that would never think that. Because I hope my wife just think that about me, because I'm telling you, I barely offered to do the dishes. Are we assuming this is just a couple days or like, are we doing the- It doesn't really say. Okay.

Let's assume it's a couple of days because that's the normal. But if it's a couple days... 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 never would these matter then. You want to do a week then? No, let's just do four because a week is like too long. A week they better be doing everybody's longer.

Yeah, yeah. A week then it should be mowing the frigging yard. Okay. Okay, so don't... 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 to do on that one.

Leave the sink running? They would leave the sink running. That would be rude. I just hate it when people do that in general. 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 running the whole time?

Do you think, man, I can't believe they're doing that. That's rude. It's not when they're brushing their teeth or anything. It's like when they're in the kitchen sink, they turn it on and then they go do something else. That also could be something. Yeah. I hate that, dude.

But again, I don't want them washing the dishes they're not going to 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 you're going to get in their bathroom stuff. That's a tough one. And number three, waste food.

Well, they're not a kid. They have to clean their plate. Right. This is weird. 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.

What if, like, you cook the whole meal and they didn't say thank you? 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. Kind of rude. Yeah. And then finally, the worst would be if they invite others over without notice.

Oh, that would be terrible. You don't have a slip to invite people over anyway. I have notice. Like, why are you inviting people over? You don't even live in this city. Like, who do you know? That would be weird, right? Yeah, that is weird.

Somebody staying there and they're fighting folks over. But that's the number one rudest thing they say that people, 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. Nah.

I mean, it just depends. 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 it. Yeah, like pitch in. I get up. Yeah, like there's some, whatever that threshold

is of days. Then it's it's expected that either you order the Uber Eats dinner or you're like, hey, we're going to cook this meal for a night, that type thing. Wiping down surfaces, I guess, sure, if you're... That would be helpful. That would be helpful. Taking out the trash. Now I don't want you in my trash.

I got it. Really? You can open the liners. I hate open liners. Like, I'll take the trash out. You want to do the... That's all good. Number two, washing dishes.

And then setting the dinner table. Who in the holy formal sets a dinner table? Only on Thanksgiving. That's it. Yeah. Like, it's like the plates are in that cabinet.

Sometimes I want to use paper towel if it's not wet. I'll just put the dish up. 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. Oh, so who's in it? Well, one game tonight, Notre Dame, Indiana. But it's the first time it's ever happened. That's been a 12-team playoff. Pretty cool. And I like football better than Christmas.

So you're going to miss the show? I'm going to go to the show. It's my friend. But you're going to be watching football? I'm not. I don't think I can't. 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 giving the best tickets, to like my friends or family. You never sit anybody in the first three or four rows. Front row is not cool. It didn'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 rhyming, 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 game. But I mean, he would probably understand. Dang, we're sitting with Brett's family?

You will not be. You will not be. Yeah. Can't do that, man. It's more about, he would understand. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 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, 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. Yeah. I can only check a score occasionally. You can go to the bathroom. No, I don't go to the bathroom during shows. Out of principle.

No movie. I'll poop my pants. I can go on to the bathroom. I'm not walking out during a movie. You don't leave even at Bridgestone? Nope. Ever? Ever?

I mean, I guess if I don't care about the show. I'm not going to leave while the show's happening. I miss something. They may end up calling me on stage. I'm not even there. That's a good point. They're like, come on down. And they're like, I guess he's in the bathroom.

He's in the pooper. Oh, God, dang. I don't want that to happen. Oh. Yeah, 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 going to leave during the show.

That would be crazy. So you're just going to check the score once in a while? 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 15 minutes and she's already asleep. But I know the light is a freaking sunball in the bedroom. If I had this, that light would not be going out. 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. That'd be cool. 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 what? All that's cool and stuff. Let's do the simple things first.

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. It's reflecting up. It's terrible. Yeah, I love it. I have one of my... Oh, yeah. I think it's... I can see my speed limit. I'm like, this is helpful. Maybe we can do that with the glasses.

Well, you ain't doing crap, but neither am I. Well, I mean, you know... But it would have to be... The technology, the people that do that stuff. But that would be, like, putting the phone on his chin and it reflecting up. So, but... And there would still be light. Yeah. 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. But like, you know, you know, you're moving. movements. Yeah. Right. 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 because you see it in your eyes. Yeah, I can't. I don't know how to do that. No, I knew. I knew that. I didn't think you did.

And I don't know. I think that would be a pretty cool old invention for them to have. I think Apple shouldn't invent that. Sure someone's working on that, right? 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 goggles 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. Yeah, you tell. 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 built a fort with my knees. And then even then the cover like comes over the top of it. and just why can't they keep us for having to build forts

isn't that one of the biggest problems in America right now having built forts over your phones maybe not number one but it's close yeah exactly

it's like on that list I just read okay that's my first world problem the oldest known stone tablet inscribed

with a ten commandment sells for over five million dollars for real for real well it's not actual the Ten Commandments oh

I think it's even missing one it's missing a commandment so well then that's not even real well no but again they're not even saying

it's real as in the ones but it's the oldest like once the commandments exist, adults they have now where they were... The ones that Moses brought down from the mountain. I just read that.

I'm trying to read the Bible and I just read that one. Wait, wait. You're reading the Bible? I'm saying for the first time. For the first time. Didn't we know that at like eight? No, at church

they're reading the entire Bible. Yeah, in two years. The entire thing. You didn't know the story? He knows the story. I know all those stories. That's what I'm saying. That's crazy.

He didn't know. Hold on, let him talk. Go ahead. 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. Okay, but you didn't know Moses? He went, God called him to the top of the mountain. Go ahead. 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.

Three months ago, if I said, hey, tell me the story of the Ten Commandments. No clue. Some guy held him up. I remember the movie where the guy has like, I bring to you the 15. And then he dropped the tab. He's like, I mean 10. Commandments. What movie?

I don't know. It's like who's the Melvres guy? Like Monty Python type movie? Yeah, it's one of those. Like blazing saddles and something. He's like, I got the 15. And it breaks.

He's like, I mean 10 commandments. Yeah, that's what I was saying. Like, he wouldn't have known it until now. I wouldn't have known it. I didn't mean to speak for him. 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 a long hair, a 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 at the final price exceeded the pre-sell estimate of $1 million to $2 million, ended up over $5 million. The tablets date from $300 to 800 to AD and are inscribed with the commandments

in Paleo-Hebrews script. It was unearthuring a railroad excavation in 1913 and was not recognized as historically significant at first. The other beast of 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, because 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. Yeah. Or they just like saying like, God. Yeah. Yeah. It includes a new... Darn it. I think they made... It includes a new directive

to worship on Mount Gorizum, a holy site specific to the Samaritans. Oh, they added their own little... Okay, all right, just for fun. Throwing in there. That is from the AP. That would be pretty crazy. Do you have it and you're using it as a cutting board

all this? You're like, wait a second. You're chopping your broccoli on the Ten Commandment, the oldest one ever, or that they can find? Drones, drones, drones. What do we know? What do you... Are you guys keeping up at all?

No, I'm over it. No. It's nothing. It is just beginning. New Jersey's Department of Energy Department and Environmental Protection's, 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 are now cities that are seeing it again now for the first time, which is odd.

I saw Knoxville was one of them. Dude, there's some stuff here. What? Here in town? Where? There's some stuff here. You saw it? You saw it?

You know people that saw? If it's dark, I'm in bed. I'm done. I'm out. Oh. The only lights coming from your tent. Correct. Your knee tent. That's all I'll say for now.

Wait, I feel like you know something. Yeah, what do you know, man? Why are you not saying it? I don't know anything. 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. Okay.

I want to be looking. Not something that I will say on this microphone. Okay. So, yeah, then they go through and, I don't know, I got a general talking. Most of the estimated drones fly daily are going to be commercial. And they're like making excuses. Like most of the drones are commercial drones. Flown for architecture, engineering and farming.

Well, we knew that. Oh, yeah, no crap. Yeah, those already have been flying for whatever. At night, drones can't see, okay? Unless they're looking for thermal or they're smelling. Mm-hmm. 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 vision type thing.

NVGs. And so you're looking, what's the G? Goggles. Night vision goggles. Yeah. Which the goggle part probably wouldn't be on a drone, but the envy would be, yeah. Maybe the drone has cute little goggles. I don't know.

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, et cetera. That's the working theory that I subscribe to most. Am I think I going to do it or, oh yeah, okay, never mind. What, at night? No, I get it now. I know.

I have questions. It doesn't matter. And I probably don't have the answer to that. 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. Oh, maybe they're looking for the perfect Christmas tree. 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. No chance.

So we should give them a break. If I had car-sized drones flying over my house every day, like, no, I'm not sleeping. Right. Let's say, though, they do give it a break and then something explodes because they couldn't find it during the break. No, no, I'm saying, well, they were on breaks. Keep working. I keep going on. I'm not telling a break.

That's what I'm saying. Like, I can't my, that's why I was going to say it and then I pause because I'm like, well, if they're looking for something that they need to find, then they probably can't take a break. 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 was 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 o'clock p.m. on a channel talks about. Not just TikTok, like normal news. You know, watch is that? I don't know.

No one. Like regular folks that don't subscribe to TikTok crazy theories. Yeah. Like, nor... So they do know, 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 to try to call. So either they know and they can't, they don't tell us anything. That's weird. Because sometimes they know

and we're like, oh, God, I don't know 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. But what's weird though is these have lights on them. If they didn't want to be seen or be secretive. Yeah, they may need the lights. They probably need the lights. Right. So I don't think, like,

they knew that at some point that at some point we were going to see these things. That's my point. with my second thing here. Right, that's the first one. No, no, those are the only two options. Yeah, but the first one, like, if they didn't know what it was,

they would have shot it down. And who's to say they haven't shot some down? We would hear it. Okay, but you would think you would hear or no, you wouldn't. You wouldn't. If we wouldn't hear a, pshu-p- It's not going to have to be a missile. It doesn't.

It doesn't have to be. Really? Yeah, some of them have crashed, and you didn't hear those. Oh, they've crashed? Not the one that was in the coach-ru. I'm talking about other big ones, though. Like a drone doesn't, like,

Even drones that aren't the small ones that have nothing to do with what we're talking about when they crash, you don't hear them. No, no, no. But these are big, right? These are big ones? There are other big ones, too. They 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, I'm going to try not to think about it anymore. 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 fall back down. Our things that we send up to look at?

Who knows? I don't know. You think they're telling us? Yeah, I don't know, man. Exactly. That's my point. Finally. I don't know.

Nobody knows. Nobody knows. But when you declare you know that one of them is not right. Oh, the first one, to me, I feel like that's not right. Because. But you don't know. I don't know. No one, no, but we started this whole thing with no one knows.

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. For sure to me, that's not right. That's not a thing for sure to you. For sure, to me? I believe that's not right.

So yeah, it's weird. And in the end, are they just like looking at the shape of land? What they call that when they take those things out? Survey. Yeah, survey it. Probably not. No, because they could definitely do that during the day. also may never know. We also may be told something after it's all over that's a lie too just to calm

everybody down. Oh boy. 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 that somebody comes out and yells Iran immediately. Yeah, that was weird. Not somebody on TikTok. Like a lawmaker. A law. Yeah. Comes out and goes lawmaker and there's a mother ship. That's weird. Yeah, I know. I kind of want to. Or is he weird? Or does he? Is he, is he the Only one that's actually saying something that he shouldn't be saying. Where is he now? Exactly. Ooh.

Good question. Because I would either be like, like if I was new 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 out. I mean, there are lawmakers that are like completely normal, right? They're just people too. Right. I know. That's why we need to check medication.

Unless he's the only one that is sick. And he's going to be treated like a crazy person. Yes. 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. And then they get killed or they get, you know, taken out of their different groups in Senate, House, you know, whatever. 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 would like, no, House Bill 221 sucks. This is from NIAC action. It's the NAC 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 cited in the airspace of New Jersey. NIAC urged that Congressman correct his statement in a letter last Thursday. This means nothing to me. 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 that, like 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. Yeah. Yeah. So, Mike, what do you think it is? I think something got out. Like, got out, like a nuke that's somewhere and they're looking for it. Or like some experiment got out and they're looking for it.

There's something weird out there. Like Teen Wolf? Yeah. Did they ever find those monkeys? And that's why it's night. That's a great question. Remember the monkeys that got out? Who knows?

And they were like, oh, we found five of them. Now we found six of them. But there were a lot of them. Maybe it's the monkeys. Maybe they'll look at them in the daytime. And they'd go, we're looking for the monkeys. and please call us if you see a monkey. Totally.

Yeah, they would do that. Maybe. But that's a good theory, Mike, that they're looking for something that got out. Maybe they were testing something, creating something, some creature got out,

something they didn't want to know about it. Me, I thought like nuclear, something nuclear that got smuggled across somehow. Oh my gosh. What if it's something they created that only comes out at night like a,

like a, like in From? Because it's the fact that they said nothing. Like if it was like actual physical thing, like, oh, this is missing and we're looking for this. They haven't said what's missing. Yeah, you've 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. 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. I feel like we'd try to shoot them down if they had a life of their own. And we may have shot some down, like we said, and not known. They keep popping up in new cities. That's great.

They're multiplying. Oh, the gremlins. Yeah. At night at night. Be feed on the drunks get alive. Or they know, like, if you destroy them all, like something else bad will happen. So here's my, I wouldn't even say it's a prediction, but if this thing just goes away quietly, it was some bad stuff.

Okay, well, I'm fine with that. Just go away. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. I think we're never going to know. If we never know, it was some bad stuff. And thank God we never had to know. I'm cool with that. So that's probably one of the better case scenarios.

I think of how many things we just don't know about? For sure. Oh, for sure. So much. And 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 it'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. I'm talking about. terrorism. Terrorism. Yes, terrorism. International and domestic. But yeah, the night thing.

Yeah, the drones. Come on, drones. Give us a Christmas, man. Come on. Give us a break. Like Amy said, take a break. You know, I have a couple weeks on us. Have some in-laws over, drones, for a couple weeks.

And then meet us back into 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 set up studio at my house. Just be on the lookout.

There will be stuff. And Felice Navidad. That will be on the radio show. We'll not be on a podcast. But it will be on YouTube today, actually. Yeah. Yeah. It'll be on YouTube today.

Yeah, it's up there. 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. That'd be nice. Mm-hmm. That's what I want for Christmas. If we never know that means it was something significant.

Or we never come back. That's true, maybe. But if we never... In my case, I love you guys. If we never know, that means it was something significant. If they tell us, who knows what's 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.

Right? Just because they're not, didn't tell 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.
