"So one night … I call Barron, I go, 'Buddy, look, what did you actually say?'" Eric shared during the interview. "And he goes, 'You know, like — it was something so polite I almost wouldn't even get it right' — but [something], like, 'Congratulations and best of luck to you' — or something like that.'"
