Whoa marvelous Marvin. Monday, six o'clock right on the end of the big
beautiful nose. Look at that? Does the dow meet ninety seven one the
freak six am to ten? Hey, Monday through Friday. This week is
Monday through Wednesday. It's a holiday week, Thanksgiving. Our office is only
working a half day on Wednesday, Mikey, Is that it? What's their
holiday week equivalent? Just drive into the parking lot, do in your card
and drive. So when we fall on home, when we walk through the
office area, when you know, we leave, you know, sometime between
usually ten and eleven, and we walk through the office, we'll just see
the full office just kind of filing out for for their enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday.
It's not working again. Sorry. Yeah, not that anyone on earth other
than me and you and most definitely JJ cares. But this microphone, your
button screwed, I guess, and I'm in the habit always have been.
I fiddle with myself and this microphone button a lot. So even like right
there, I turned it off while you were talking. I don't know if
I do a little throat clear or whatever, or a little you know,
microphone move. I just turned it off and on, so you're the reason
it doesn't work. Probably, it's just it's I mean, I suffered so
much overuse. That's like blaming a homeowner for their light switch which doesn't work.
Like, yeah, I guess technically you are the one that's been turning
it on and off. But but the difference is most homeowners just don't stand
by their light switch and just turn it off every six hundred times every time
they blink. Right when they blink, they figure their eyes are closed so
they can turn the lights off and save a little energy. Yeah, like
your microphone switch would probably be still functioning under normal use. I blame Jeff
skin Wade, who also uses this microphone. I don't know, but yes,
I turned it off for some reason. This f and thing on Friday
decides now when it works fine. When I turn it off, I can't
turn it back on, so I have to flail through the window at JJ
and throw a tomato against the windowsively. I'm sorry, it is aggressive.
I'm like, I'm looking at like fifteen screens over here, and I looked
at her laugh sor she glances up and she's got crazy ey shale. Mike's
doing the high Speed jaradience dance to get your to get your attention boy speed
boy. The Guardians, Uh, they went with a huge ad buy at
the beginning. They took a couple of weeks off its scene, but they're
back. They're back this weekend. Yeah, same same thing. They do
have an alternate version, but the main ad they had a hammering pretty good
this weekend. I was dialed in on the background dancers. I was just
trying to look at looking at the layers of this thing. It's a lot
to figure out cinema. I wonder if the people at either the ad agency
that created that ad or the you know, I don't know how that all
works in TV, or the actual pharmaceutical company have have noticed, I don't
know, a viral interest or why are people looking at the YouTube video of
this Jardiance commercial just because it's so insane and they're like, hey, we're
really onto something here, when the reality is people are just kind of taking
the piss out of it. But I guess, you know, it doesn't
matter. People are watching it, they're regardless of why. I wonder if
we're just gonna I hope they My point is, I hope they signed the
Jardiance lady to some form of long term deal. Yeah, so we can
see Jardians too, Yeah, in a totally different concept in the future.
I've told you this before. You're in good hands. I have an advertising
minor from Northern Arizona University, so I can always help with this sort of
thing. I wish you would have jumped in in the middle of that long
sentence. I was just waiting this guy. Listen to this guy go,
coulda look like a fool in about thirty seconds when I jump in. I
don't remember one thing. It's a muscle you probably need to continue to exercise.
But no, that that's actually a very interesting question. And they I
don't think they made that commercial being like, oh my god, everyone's just
gonna be dancing and celebrated how beautiful this commercial is. A percentage of it
was the holy ass. This is something that you can't deny that you just
saw right, you know. But just the fact that some people have taken
that commercial and put it in whatever computer program they have and made it even
more insane than it is, you know, like they'll just a they're messing
with it. It's it's a topic. It's something that people have paid interest
to, albeit for mostly comedic purposes. I just wonder if they realize that
they're kind of onto something with this woman, that she needs to be the
continued face of jardiance. Like I just googled the Washington Post as an article
She's the queen of farm of what a pharma earworm and the haters better watch
out. That's in the Washington Post. Yes, Deanna Cologne sings about lowering
your A one C. But I've seen it so many times and I can't
I still like it every time. You still like it? Yes, I
do like it. And like I said, there's so much going on you
could just pick a dancer. Yeah, Like I did notice this time the
second second level dancer toward the end is a big, bigger girl and she's
just draw like dancing the attention toward the main girl and pointing at her and
hits a big point at the end where she sticks a knee and pops it.
You know, when it became pretty clear to me that I that you
had seen this commercial no less than a thousand times. So the night that
we went to see The Iron Claw, you and Christina were at your place
and you live about I don't know a ten to fifteen minute walk from the
Texas Theater. So Katie and I met at your place and we all walked
down and I got there before Kevin did. And by the way, Kevin's
still out today. We uh. I guess that either that commercial came on
or maybe you had it recorded, but it came on and to watch you
point out things that a casual viewer would never have noticed and do a sixty
seconds play by play of the Jardience commercial. But not just highlighting. I
mean you were highlighting things in the background. You had voiceovers or thought or
or or or verbal thought bubbles for everybody that was involved in the cast,
Like you've seen this thing a lot. Yeah, you've thought about this way
more than you need to do. These are my friends. You don't even
have in the commercial. Weird a one C numbers? Do you? I
don't know. I might. I might be jinxing myself with an emergency call
to my doc. I don't even really know what it is. It's I
don't even it doesn't matter. I suppose I should have learned now with my
obsession, but yeah, it's Look, there's value in doing something like if
that debuted is a Super Bowl commercial, it would have been talked about m
because everyone would have done that what the you know, like the headshake,
oh, you know like and that's the goal is to make just any impression
anything. I mean. It kind of goes back to is it the Mento's
commercials? Remember? Was that the one that's the fresh Maker did that's?
I wonder if that started the almost cringe cheese intentional cheese like intentional yeah,
like when when I can't put my finger on it. But at some point
in the nineties this country went absolutely insane with with their approach to humor,
and yeah, Mento's is definitely part of that where it just breaks the standard
of what you expect and it's almost intentionally trying to confuse, right because the
viewer all it needs to do is be memorable. Mentos? Why the hell
do I mean we I think of commercial when you say Mentos and I'm sure
they're still around and a fine jellied mint candy have you ever had one?
Yes? Horrible? No, They're okay, you know, like mentos.
But then again, I think there might be a German thing. So are
those commercials like sort of a nod to like the I don't know. Are
those German people in the commercials Maybe they just kind of sang the song over
it as they're like giving a thumbs up and having an awkward at social interaction
with someone and then sharing a mentos and getting on the same page as a
result. Yeah, I'm not sure it's I don't know if that comes from
that's a German style of comedy, but it's hard to put your finger on
it. But it's like there was something about the nineties, late maybe the
mid to late nineties into the early two thousands where comedy like took a turn,
and man, I'm telling you, I don't even want to say it,
but as a central figure in our lives, I think that was either
learning from that or was kind of at the head of that. But it's
almost like like talking wrong to people, talking intentionally confusing to people, and
using superfluous wrong words in your conversation towards like that's someone necessary. That tense
doesn't make sense. I don't know where where the object as the person issuing
the comedy was to be as confusing as possible. Yeah, and to be
as random as possible. I don't know else how else to explain it.
Well, I think it's almost like when weird weird turned into its own genre
of comedy. Maybe that's like almost intentional weird or incorrect. I mean,
I'll still like intentionally misspell a tweet response, you know. And it's my
guess as an attempt to be funnier, to make that word funnier than it
is. J just said she pulled up a Mento's commercial. I don't know
if the audio only does it, but let's find out. H's my ass
that it doesn't matter what times better in life with mental press and full of
fine nothing gets to you. Stay in, staying cool with Mentos fresh and
falls fresh Maker Fresh. I remember the fantastic I remember it was like the
guy gets into the cab and then oh my god, a girl got into
the other side of the case. That what that one was? Yeah,
it look like a guy got it. It wasn't a cap I think it
was just a random guy's car. And he's like on the phone and he
turns Aud, Look, he thought it was a yellow car. He's got
great hair. He's like, are there any yellow cars that aren't cabs?
Lamborghineas Yeah, right, Lambos That's about it. Yellow. The official color
of Ferrari, by the way, not red, it's yellow. Yeah,
he gets in that. He looks up at the driver, were like,
what are you doing here? I thought you were a cab Jesus have a
Mento that calumbs all there, We're good Italian Dutch company. And then I'll
be damned at the food Fighter fighters didn't just make an entire yes You're right
video based around the pure insanity of the Mento's commercials, Yeah I'm on their
Wikipedia and a full marketing campy TV commercials and catchy jingle which debuted in late
ninety one. Shot in South Africa. Individuals facing various day to day dilemmas
dilemmas consume Mentos and are subsequently inspired to solve their problems in a creative,
often humorous fashion. For example, a job interview interview, he sits on
a freshly painted bench staining his suit, and how does he solve the problems?
Mentos? No? Well, yeah, but no, how does he
does he paint the whole suit? Yes? He solves a problem by rolling
around on the bench until his suit has pin stripes. Nice, and then
he gives himself a thumbs up. But he popped Amento to get that espiado.
Yeah, correct, and then a huge that the marketing paragraph on Wikipedia
is pretty small. And then the next one's three times as big. Reaction
with carbonated beverages. That's a big thing. Put a mentos in a two
liter bottle. Yeah, I never got into it, Okay. So number
one, it's got the word meant in it, even though it's spelled m
E and t os. So my expectation of minto is, Okay, this
is going to be a breath freshener or something that is got a purpose.
But it's just a chewy blob. Yeah, you know. And and they
come in like fruit flavors too. It's not just a mint. I like
the fruit flavors. No, I bet those might be good. I just
I don't want my mint to be chewy. I would eat them like candy.
Yeah, they are like cand I don't think anybody eat chases the fruit
ones as like a mint, chewy mint. It's called yeah what, But
that's the beauty is like what introduced ninety one years ago in the Netherlands.
That's the beauty, is it? Candy ors are just making your breath fresh.
I treat them as candy. I don't think it's candy. Yeah,
yeah, I don't even think they really help your breath. No, all
that much, like you can't like if you eat one, you're like,
okay, certain mints like those. Have you ever had those little altoids?
They're not the big chalky ones, They're the little mint ones that come in
the smaller Yeah, like ten candy. Those are powerful some of my car
right, yah, yeah, those are great? Like those? Will you
can tell if somebody's had one a mento, You're not going to be next
to somebody go oh your breath is so minty fresh. It's just like,
oh, you just had candy? Is that boison berry? Really nice?
So it doesn't really serve the breath freshening purpose. It's just candy. Do
you use a breath freshening agent of any kind? I like to welcome Arizona
Cardinals writer, No nothing, no, just floss and brush and no game
ever or I have all TODs in the car right now, but I'm not.
I don't use them regularly, but I don't. Maybe I should.
I've never noticed anything with you. You're good, but there's people in our
lives that yeah, I know, you know past lives, which makes you
think that that you can smell their breath for down a hallway. Do you
think someone would have told you by now that you have God like I had,
like the you know, like the clinical yeah what or there's a problem
in your life where you need to get checked. I would pray to God
that somebody close to me would say, I love you so much, bro,
but I think you've got that clinical breath thing. It's more than just
I know what you had for lunch. It's that it's that dragony. Ye,
I don't know, something that is spawned from the cauldrons of Satan's anus,
that lives inside your body, that ruins life for those around me.
I would hope that somebody would tell me that the rim of Satan. Yeah,
that sound like a scary place, multiple ways. You would you want
that? Yeah, I would remember this deal and I don't. I'm sure
I know they still have this, but uh, sort of at the advent
of emails, somebody came up with the like anonymous email sender where like,
let's say, you know, you and I are bff. But if I
was like to Danny's breath sucks, but I can't look him in the eye
and be like, dude, constructive criticis you know, like you're saying,
I mean I think I would, but i've if I noticed that. But
it's an email that you can just send from an anonymous email that says,
hey, I'm somebody who cares about you. Your breath is awful, dude,
and it's totally anonymous. It's not your fault, not your fault.
Some suggestions here, you know, maybe this this, or like I do
you have BO Maybe change your deodorant. I know you probably don't notice it.
I'm no doubt that you're a clean person. You shower, but something's
up and maybe you change a deodorant to something with this or this. Do
we have a friend or an acquaintance that had to have that was the recipient
of the BO talk one time in our past? I feel like we did.
Oh yeah, there was someone who was certainly whispered about. But does
that do any good? No? No, no, I think somebody actually
pulled them aside and said, bro, you gotta start using deodorant. Really
yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, see that's the thing. We want
that for us. But we're sitting here talking about people that we know that
have had that problem and we never said anything. Yeah, exactly, But
that's why you pull them aside, like, don't be like bro like from
everybody, like you gotta do something. You stay yea checked out like you
can't. That's embarrassed. Even if if you get pulled aside, you're just
you're like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. I didn't know,
because sometimes you just don't. You don't know, and if you live with
you don't unless it's a surprise, right, do it in private, And
I feel like we're kind of in private. So there's something I want to
tell both you guys. Seriously, I don't teach you. I want to
tell you perfect and everywhere. Thank you. It's nice to be to have
that reaffirmation. I know. JJ smell is great. She comes in every
every morning and gives us a little hug or you know, we don't always
get a little hug. Today we got a little hug. We did get
a little hugg you know why because Kat's not here. Yeah, she didn't
feel like she was obligated to hug that nasty bastard. Yeah, he's a
nasty bitch. Don't jump to your computer. He's a nasty bitch. It
was nice. You gotta hug this morning, missed a special hug. I
missed you too. Uh. You want to hit weekend crap and figure out
if we did anything fun this weekend. I don't know. I didn't.
I think the things that we did this weekend are going to be exposed in
segments for sure, But ten seconds here the weekend you get to hear a
great song about it now on song all right anyway, brought to you by
nobody. So outside of your hour big Friday night, which we will get
to believe in the next segment six thirty, that's gonna be good. I
know that I texted you, uh crap on Saturday night, right about the
time before I went to bed and asked you if your racing pants were we're
yeah. I remember how I phrased it, but maybe not for air.
Asked if you were racing pants were going crazy and you were gearing up for
your big late night f one viewing whatever you asked me. I responded that
they are soaked. Yeah. You said, how are your racing panties?
Oh yeah, that's good, and you said soaked? Uh yeah, dude,
I'm dork. I'm dork, but you pregamed. Oh, I was
pregamed. I watched everything. I'm really lucky. Christina loves this stuff too.
Like during the race on like one o'clock at one am Saturday night Sunday
morning, she looked at for a couple times like this is so awesome,
like she was she loves it. So she genuinely likes it, and I
do as well. So it was, Yeah, we basically kind of had
a weekend around the damn F one race in Vegas. Did you guys,
were you a fan prior did y'all kind of get into it together, because
that's not something you probably grew up knowing about and loving F one specific No,
I mean I I I've said it one hundred times. I always watched
racing with my dad. We watched everything, and we weren't F one crazy
back when we were kids, but we were Indy Car and NASCAR, and
we went to a lot of We went to a few Daytona five hundreds and
just anything racing. Obviously, we kept an eye on and we would watch
the Monaco Grand Prix every year because that's the biggest race. So that's the
kind of the jewel in the crown of Formula one, but it's also the
worst race. There's no passing, there's nothing, but there's celebs and yachts
and it's in Monaco, like it's it's a lot of eye candy, which
is sort of the allure of the sport on some level. You know,
there's a lot of just fun stuff to look at and it's very sexy.
So I've always been, you know, kept an eye on it, but
yeah, dude, the Netflix thing triggered it big time to give you insight
and who these dudes are and layers of people there that really kind of revamped
it for me. And that's probably the first she ever saw of it,
so prior to the Netflix series, which I guess is still going on.
What's it called The Drive to Survive? Yeah, yeah, would So the
other day when we were looking at something and you played the the open that
the F one, I don't know whatever, the F one people run before
their events and they go through you know, these little still shots, a
little movie moving stills of all the racers and you're just like naming them bam
bam bam, Like before you were trying to like name the racer, the
driver, the driver before the graphic of his name would come up and you
knew them all. Yeah, that's not something you would have been able to
do before survived. No, no, I would have known. You know,
I knew the big names. I knew the historically huge names, and
you know the legends and the you know, dominating dudes. But that's it
is. There's usually someone who dominates for multiple years in a row, and
then it slowly kind of changes, whether it be the driver or the team,
which is kind of more exciting because when the team changes, then there's
a battle between it within the team. So yeah, no whatever. I
was pumped all weekend and this was the Vegas debut, and you know,
we knew it was going to be an s show and eye candy and beautiful
and possibly a mess and you can't look away. And that's kind of it
when you get immersed in it. It's more about the soap opera even you
know, like I figure, Danny, let's go to the Austin Race and
you'd say, cool, you'd go, and you'd if you sat on a
hill, you'd watch cars go by fast to you. I can see how
that's like, well, I mean, yeah, it was cool, but
all right, but it's like any sport if you know the teams, the
people, what it means, what the little things mean. What in that
that case, the battle between fifth and sixth place mean, you know who's
about to lose their job, who could steal somebody else's job. I mean,
there's just so infinite amount of juice that you can, you know,
apply to it. It makes it all that much more delicious. So yeah,
that show added a lot of different layers of context completely. Yeah,
I didn't know one team principle before the Drivers Survive show. Did you do?
Did you go to extra lengths to read up and educate yourself or did
it all just happen by kind of osmosis by watching the series and then watching
actual races. No, No, do. I read all kinds of stuff
a podcast, I mean, like our late breaking Formula one podcast with our
boys that we had on last week. I think it's like any sport man
when you're and I've always loved racing, but I've been a little out on
Indy Car just because it's not at its peak. Although I went to Indy
five hundred couple years ago and it was like one of the coolest things I've
ever done. NASCAR is always great. It's fun. But for whatever reason,
I needed a racing league to really kind of immerse into and elevate to
one of my higher level of favorite sports. And it was just great timing.
And boy, I want you to sink your teeth into how juicy it
is. It's endless, uh, you know what you can kind of enjoy
out of what they're doing. And it's, like I say, every time,
it's the traveling circus all around the world. It's truly worldwide. So
it's just fun. Okay, last question on this. I don't no,
no, no, this is great. Do you think this is something like
your fascination heck, I would even say borderline passion for f one. Do
you think it's something that you will carry with you the rest of your life
or do you feel like this is kind of one of those maybe moment in
time, phase in life kind of things. It's hard to say. I
think it's like, I mean, I know more and have a bigger passion
for football and for golf and probably for basketball, you know, so those
aren't going anywhere. I don't think so. Yeah. I mean it's just
sort of an odd later in life add to the repertoire of sports that you
love to follow and watch and enjoy. So I don't think so, But
I don't know. I think that that show the Drive to Survive on Netflix.
I think that show got a lot of people to consider it very much.
So, like you know, ten twenty years ago, people in America
started adopting EL teams and pretending to love soccer, and then some of them
it stuck with and they're really hardcore, hardcore fans, and it's for some
of them it's their favorite sport. Yeah, and those teams over there are
their favorite teams that they picked, you know, years ago. But I
think for most people they were probably like me, and I guess picking a
bad team in the APL didn't help my cause at all when they got relegated,
like the next year it fell off. I mean, yeah, I
like watching it, but I'm not passionate about it. I don't follow a
team. I can't tell you what's happening in the rankings or the standings.
I think a lot of people might be the same way for Formula One that
just were kind of like day trippers and got really sudden, well sudden expertise
on on the topic, and then they dropped off well, the trickiest part
was that first year kind of when everything was blowing up here they had that
war with Max Er Sapping and Lewis Hamilton. It came down to the last
race, the last lap, which you still should go back and watch.
I'll give you just two episodes that explained the whole thing of driver Survived.
I mean, Maxres's happened won this thing six weeks ago. It's over.
Like the race yesterday Saturday night was fun, but other than like jockeying for
position in the midfield, it didn't really it doesn't matter at all, like
that guy's got the crown on four months. A couple of years ago,
it was one lap to go there in first and second winner wins it,
second place doesn't. Like you couldn't script it. And it was right on
the heels of all that the it blown up with Netflix and everything, so
that's why. And then after that, now it's Maxis happened wins it,
you know, in late summer. So yes, I think maybe the people
who watch that were like, oh my god, that's the best sporting event
I've seen in years. And then it's like all right, well, all
right, now there's no competition as just one dude truck and everybody. So,
yeah, it's not as exciting as it was that season, but I
don't know, we'll see it is fun and that's kind of what I did.
Most of the weekend was planning around how I'm gonna watch cars go around
the strip in Las Vegas, and I will say eight o'clock, an hour
and a half from now, we're gonna review because you watched it. I
did, and I love I know you have questions, so if you like
F one, we will review the race, which was wild. But more
importantly, we got some crazy audio that I don't think most people even knew
what was happening because a lot of times if you look at the very back
of the field, there's some guys in there and some stuff that you may
not be aware of. And we had a DFW racer actually it was in
the Formula one race in Las Vegas. It was Garland Richardson, DFW's fastest
man was in the race. We have some in car audio of him maybe
even arguing with his team losing. That's crazy. I watched the whole race.
Yeah, you know, I don't know all their names. Ic Oh
on the left side in the panel, it says, Urice, it's not
Daniel Ricardo, that was Garland Richards. Interesting, trust me, they just
didn't go with gar eight point fifteen, you're not gonna want to miss scuttle.
But seven thirty we have a nice chat there. Cowboys got themselves a
win. That'll be Sports at seven. But coming up next, it's the
most important thing in the world, and it is. We went to an
event Friday night, Danny and myself and a lot of people we know,
and it was incredibly emotional and it was incredible and we kind of want to
share share it with you and talk about it. Next we'll do that in
the Most Important Thing in the world right here on ninety seven to one, The Freak
