Hey, this is Tommy, podcasting straight from Nashville, Tennessee.

The movie buddy Conway podcasting from Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Hey, Real Talk.

We are back with a very special Christmas time episode.

I know everybody was thinking, is Real Talk going to do their patented annual Christmas episodes? You know, in the past, we have talked diehard and whether it's a Christmas movie or not, Gabe was utterly and soundly defeated in that debate because it is a certified Christmas film. That has been proven by science, actually.

The scientific method.

So there's nothing Gabe can say about that.

As you notice, he's not even saying anything because he knows he was defeated that badly about it.

You haven't brought me into the episode yet.

I can't.

I thought this was like a whole bit you were doing.

We were just going to rail about how Die Hard's a Christmas movie before you brought me into the bit. In fact, the audience is probably sick of you trying to win this debate. Like, we've really started the episode this way.

Like, game, man. What happened to the Christmas spirit? What happened to the giving spirit? I have a confession to make the other day. See, man. Kevin Kangas posted on his Facebook. He came on the episode, the director of fear of clowns. And he posted that he went and saw Die Hard for Christmas in the theater. And I was like, saw that. Yeah. And I was sitting there thinking, I was like, man, I would love to see die hard in Christmas in the theater. And I was like, there you go. Gabe has been turned. I love it. Gabe is now a dire Christmas. No, but now it's not that I am. It's just that die hard good movie. And it does have a

kind of a Christmas undertone, if you will. Yeah, it has a whole tone. Well, here's the thing. It has been

re-released in theaters across the country, not in July, not in May, but right now in December.

If that tells you anything.

All right, before we get into a rabbit hole with that, let's talk about what we're doing tonight.

We are back with our Christmas episode, as you can already tell, we're in the festive spirit.

And this was going to be a lot of fun. course as i was talking about we've done die hard
