All right, we're alive. We're really downbeat. Monday, December eleventh,
National Breakup Day, which they found out that people break up the most on
this day than any other. That's not today's lead story by any means.
I'm having Turner with Danny Bayliss. Good Morning, the Dallas Observer Radio host
of the Year, Mike Siroy burning through that hole in his pocket of vacation
days, use them or lose them, baby, whatever else in his pocket.
Did you bust through a lot of them in the regular year. I
don't think you did. No. Now, did you leave some on the
cutting room four? Yeah? I got six level that you're not gonna use
me. Technically, I have more because of comp days, working holidays that
you get back. But I'm not. You know, I switched her shows
up. I felt like you need to be here. I agree. Yeah,
I think I had enough to pretty much take off the entire month of
December and part of gen Yeah, but I just don't feel right about it.
It's yeah, when they flip your show, it's there's a certain responsibility
that you know you can't just leave. I don't you have to build something
new again exactly that starting over from scratchy, and that's what we had to
do. But it's okay. I mean honestly, when I'm gone for more
than three or four days at a time, I'm like, okay, I
could probably get back. You and I are different in that regard. It's
hard for me to go back. And I'm telling you the week that I
took off around the Thanksgiving holiday, which I guess I returned last week was
my first week back after being off, and man, it took me.
I'm still not even adjusted to the sleep schedule. On Wednesday. You're like,
man, I'm just not back yet. I just get so spoiled.
Sleeping in till seven. Yeah, that's sleeping in now. In our lives,
I sleep till seven, Bro. You know what I'm finding over time
that the feeling of sleeping. Though not that I was able to do this
a lot, but you know, you and I both worked afternoon drive for
many years. Your shift starts at three o'clock, you know, I mean
you got to get there earlier than that. But your shift start at three.
Your show starts at three. Will There'd be some days where, depending
on what happened the night before, I might sleep till ten or lay in
bed till ten, you know, and that feels way worse to me than
getting up at four something, because then you're like, God, why did
I throw the day away? Yeah? I always knew that things were,
I don't know, gonna be a little rough. When I broke the noon
barrier for a three pm show, how things got difficult the night before.
But you know that was like I did that shift for twenty two years.
Yeah, and I was a younger man in year one and two, sure,
just kind of getting into radio and like, wow, this is I
have no idea what I'm doing. Still feel that way a lot of days,
but you know, kind of in your thirties, you're having fun and
living free and heck, yeah i'd see the I'd see the sunrise twice a
day. Yeah, or not at all. You were wilder than me too,
though maybe maybe a touch. Maybe I had a couple of years of
Oh, I've heard about I've heard about the salad days with you, k
t the salad days. Me and old Pat Dony Victory Monday, Kevin ass
Monday. It feels different out there on the Metroplex. I could just tell
driving into work today that there was a lighter it was a lighter feeling in
the air because the Cowboys finally passed a real big boy test. You didn't
experience any tension on the drive in. No, not at all, man,
Nope, light traffic. Everybody seemed to be in a good mood.
That was zooming past me on six thirty five. This has become the year
of no close Cowboy games? Was it there? Going? Man? We're
kicking their ass. Why can't we have a fun game? I want the
Cowboys when I want close games, though you had one last week. Yeah,
that's true, that's true. There's Thursday nights. Wanted that game to
end. Yeah, it was a flag show. Seems like our last night
was kind of a flag show a little bit. But uh, we've got
plenty of time carved out to discuss the most important thing, which is the
Cowboys. No doubt. You know we're not We're not emboldened to make sports
our focal point in here. Every day. We like to mix it up,
have a good time, laugh, be a little informative, keep it
live and local. But you know, when a story like this is as
big as it is, then we're gonna give it to do. Yes,
We're going to definitely hit those things seven o'clock. I've got a bunch of
audio. You and I tag team last night on text and found lots of
little little nuggets, which otherwise on the surface watching last night might have felt
like a pretty boring game from a broadcast standpoint, but we found some stuff
that we think you'll find. Yeah, very fun. I'm finding over time
that Tariko didn't give us much, but he just does a solid Again.
He's a good job and he's great at what he does. But you know,
I need my guys to sound a little drunk. Yeah, you know,
yeah, yeah, a little drunkie. I need, you know,
guys giving out some false information like Romo when he said that Taylor Swift was
Travis Kelsey's wife yesterday on the broadcast. That was something that was definitely something
that's to add to your list of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey stories that you're
tracking. So Danny on Monday, I mean, I'm sorry, on Friday
you had obviously get your your son. Malcolm mos had a good week with
Picks at least one in one compared to the ly to a lot of people
on Picks at Glints who went oh and two Malcolm's catching up, man,
He's gaining ground every week. You missed our our gift riff though well,
gift Secret Santa thing over at Mike's Jemina on Friday afternoon, and I want
to publicly apologize to our very own JJ Jackson for what she ended up with.
Do you even know what you ended up with? I have no idea
were there are those I don't know though, those multi colored pretty glasses that
Julie took home, No, I don't think so. So TC ended up
going for you. So the way I operated was I because I had to
bring your gift to the thing right yep, because you couldn't make it.
And I was second in order of secret Center, and because we only we
started at four thirty, we just did one lock, so if one steal
and then your gift is locked. I went second. I think JJ went
first. JJ went first, and I believe she got a photo of my
face on a picture with a box of Magnum condoms, which sadly ended up
in Ben's hand, and who knows what he's what he's gonna do with those.
I was very upset when he stole it. That was it's a picture
and dude, it's took my face in that elevator picture. I don't know
if you see the one that we're all on the elevator. I've seen it,
Okay, supersumed, there's nothing better. That's one of my favorite things
to do in photos with your friends is to just get the tightest shot their
face and then I don't know, put it online. So messed up.
Well, I went second and I was like, I'm just gonna take one
of the packages that I brought in. So I opened up the silver wrapped
box that was yours that you had brought and open it up and it is,
okay, Dan Marino autographed photo of Donald Trump, which I was in
there going, this is great. I could send this out to Vida or
something like. There's a lot of things you could do with this. That's
what I was hoping that Mikey would end up with that and he would have
built in Christmas gift for mom. So I got that, and then I
don't know how it goes. People steal and then before you know it,
you know, it's kind of up. But we get to the end and
there's some moving and shaking, and it was a situation where it was either
going to end up with Julie's skin or JJ, but Skinning decided to steal
what JJ had whatever it was, and forgot. It was a whole bunch
of office yeah, like and Christina said she she confessed to it. She
boxed up and put a whole bunch of like things from the office in the
box. And she had a stapler that didn't work. She had a tape.
I don't even know who the artist was that tape that was in someone's
desk, Johnny Mathis or something that some freak stickers, and there's some candy
that's over there, and the turkey baster in the turkey baster, Yeah,
I was wondering where that was. So Christina panicked forgot to buy gifts and
just threw a bunch of crap from the studio into a box. It said
mic take it on and it was an Amazon box on top of that.
So I was excited. Somebody ordered something very at the same tape and everything,
yeah, because she could be there either and she had I think something
with her band or something. So either way, that's going through now.
The gift that I had gotten was a three three pack of a highly nuanced
gift here which I got a box of Marble reds, the DVD of air
Bud Seventh Inning, Fetch not even the first one, yeah, the second,
and a rag that is labeled on it sea rag but they spell out
And I'm sitting here going okay, so Skin's got the power in his hands,
and I'm like, give it to Skin because I'm got I'm sitting right
right next to Julie. I'm two seats away from JJ, and I'm like,
I don't want one of the girls getting getting the rag. Yeah,
And then Skin did a trade and JJ ends up with it, and then
there's a picture of her holding up the rag, and I'm like, oh
no, what have we done. I immediate that I saw that get posted
in the Facebook group and on Instagram and on TikTok. I immediately forwarded those
photos to HR. So whoever handed you that box is in no trouble whatsoever.
HR will be like, we'll get with that in June. Getting nothing
solidays. But it was just fun. It was a lot of fun.
I listened to the segments on a nice walk with my puppy that night once
they were posted, and I was laughing. It sounded like a lot of
fun. I wish that I could have been there. It was. I
contemplated bringing Malcolm to a bar. It wouldn't be his first time, but
I just man the thought of Friday, a Friday December traffic, driving to
the Cedars with a two year old in a busy bar with a bunch of
people he didn't know. Right after he woke up from a nap, I
was like, man, these the variables here are just way too many for
this to turn into an effing wild card. So I just figured it's best
not too That bar's kind of cool too and can be dark yep, and
in a way you can get sensory overload by the lack of light, honestly,
but when you do, it's just kind of a trippy bar at times.
So he might have got a little little issues there too. So I'm
anyone was a two year old, Well, he knows it's hey that once
that thing goes bad, it doesn't it's hard to make it right. Yeah,
there's no turning back, and you need to extricate the child from the
situation. But I felt like, I mean, he knows skin and Mikey
and is in love with Christina, and I figured, you know, there
would be a comfort comfort level there, but it was mainly about just getting
just driving in holiday traffic and yeah at night with a baby. It's just
this was If it was a midday thing, I would have it would have
been a no brainer. But but anyway, it sounds like you guys had
a great time we did, do you? Does anybody know what I ended
up with? I think you either ended up with a calendar of pooping dogs.
Okay, I thought that was Christina. Christina might have got it.
Yeah, whatever, you ended up with this at Julie's house. Okay,
I saw that, Julie. Yeah, she took home all of the present,
the orphan presence that everybody got too hammered and forgot. Did you know
about the gift that Sarroy got for the table? Genius Rhino ended up with
that the autographed photo of our boss Zach riding a motorcycle. I'm the one
who got to open that one, and then I was stolen from me.
I saw that before, uh, before he wrapped it. He looks pretty
bad at it, he does. I'm just there going this guy can kick
some mash right now. Like Zach's a pretty unassuming dude in real life.
You know, he's East coast guy, and he's got that he's got that
voice, you know. But and he's kind of a he's not a he's
not what you would expect when you imagine guy who rides Harley avidly and is
really passionate about motorcycles. He does not fit that stereotype. He's slide to
build. He's fifty five, I believe he. But man, when he
suits up and gets that gets on the leathers and hops on that thing and
has his helmet, he looked pretty freaking cool. This Thuky's about to go
get laid, right. He was driving to get to go get laid as
the sun setting behind him. It was if it the autograph is great,
and it's just like it was the second autograph picture too, And I'm the
one who opened him up both times. Yeah, so it's like, okay,
why are all the pictures coming to me? Reyner ended up with that
and er stole it from me. I was hoping to get that because that
would have definitely ended up on the picture the picture shelf. Well, isn't
it framed up here? Maybe? I'm not sure anything safe up here anymore?
Though. I received a letter in the mail before we do some weekend
crab. One second, we'll see the letter in the mail from our friends
at Klamath National Forest. Get that. Uh, every once in a while,
you know. They sent us a few things. A few months ago.
When I was referencing Smoky the Bear and and what do you claim?
Smokey is he's a he's a zaddi, A zaddi. Yeah, yeah,
you know, you know, I mean, I do now I didn't before.
Yeah, it's a sexy bear with muscles. Yeah, Zaddy is more
like a hot older guy. You're you could be a zaddy jay. We
think danky a little bit. I'm neither hot nor old. Yeah you're not
old, You're really not. But i'd be weird to call you a daddy.
But you are a daddy. Like legit, I don't know you have
I've accomplished something. Klamath National Forest has sent me this real quick and just
me. We have a listener. I guess he's a local dude that lives
out there, and this National Force is in northern California. Yeah, I
believe, okay, and he listens online. And when you were talking about
the Zaddi, Smoky the Bear being a sexy, hot older bear. He's
began mailing his stuff letters and you know, all kinds of different stuff,
so communicating with us via normal postal service. This probably came up again due
to Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade where they have the Big Bear float just ripped and
he's just wearing pants, I mean, just to rock the jeans and go
shirtless. He's like a Hispanic guy playing soccerans in my neighborhood they do.
Man, it's awesome. We have soccer Sundays and it's a lot of neighborhood
folks out there in jeans and certificate of achievement. This certifies the Kevin Turner
has been quote useful and is recognized as the Klamath National Forest Radio Personality of
the Year. My God given to me by Smoky the Bear. Fantastic.
I should say Smokey Bear. Okay, Oh, it's Smokey the Bear and
it's smoke Show the Bear is what that is, because that's I mean,
that's why he's ripped. He looks so hot and he's holding a shell.
It's his only you. Well, yeah, that's great, Kevin. We'll
get that framed up here and hopefully you didn't get ripped down off the wall,
been signed by Smokey Bear. It's got the very official looking seal of
approval, just a gold circle with some lines on it. So stupid.
Congratulations, dude, Ah did what huge? I can't wait to get this
over to Soroy. I feel like the odd man out, the one dude
without a cool award. Yeah, man, we're all of your awards.
I have nothing to bring up. We'll get them to you at some point.
The best is yet to come. And I mean that, she said
on today's show too, Danny, I have something real quick. This has
nothing to do with my weekend. My weekend was largely boring, involved a
lot of football yesterday. And uh, but I did see this. Okay,
so we know that there is a new Godzilla movie coming out, right
JJ. Yeah, and apparently they've yes, they've become BFFs. Yeah,
it's weird. I don't like that turn. All of a sudden, you
just become friends. That's really destroying each other. You know, they have
to come together for the greater good, and that is mankind. And these
films are notoriously Look, let's be honest. They're popcorn films. They're holiday
films. They're for the kids that if you're looking for a good storyline and
and something that's authentically well acted, you're probably going to be disappointed. You'll
be blown away with the CGI and you know, the action and all that
stuff. That's why you go to these things. They're fun. You check
out, sit there for a couple hours, and they're loud and explosive and
crazy and fun and entertaining. But I think we all forget. You know,
Godzilla has been around for a long time, and it is an old
Japanese They invented this character, and before this thing ever got americanized, there
were dozens of films that came out in Japan. Well, there's a brand
new one. I don't know if you were aware of this, JJ,
there is a brand new Godzilla movie that's out right now. Came out December
first, Yeah, and it's called Godzilla Minus one. Is this on your
radar at all? I saw that. I didn't know it was coming out,
and then I saw that it was in the theaters and anyt too much
promoting it. So yeah, excuse me. Okay, So it is a
Japanese film and a good buddy of mine I just saw this. He posted
about this, and he posted a picture of the the movie poster and I
just want to read this real quick review. This guy is not a movie
reviewer, just a dude on Facebook that liked a movie. But listen to
this description and tell me if you don't immediately want to go see this film.
This is a guy that I really like and trust. He's a cool
dude, he's got good taste. Blah blah blah. You know, I
line up with him on a lot of stuff. Is it Wagner, No,
it's not Wagner. It's just like he doesn't review films. This is
a buddy just he goes. It's the thirty seventh installment in the Godzilla franchise,
so they've had thirty seven films. He says. The heart of this
film is the post World War II trauma shared by the Japanese people, only
made worse by the appearance of Godzilla. WO director has personally stated that the
COVID pandemic and governmental unreliability were also inspirations for the film. All the performances
are exceptional, but the scene stealers are. I can't pronounce his name.
Japan's actor, a war torn pilot, main protagonist and another Japanese name that
I can't pronounce, who is a weapons engineer. I think this was made
on a fifteen million dollar budget, which is unbelievable. Triple digit Hollywood productions
could never achieve something like this on a similar budget. Every shot in the
film looks great. The action scenes are astonishing. One scene in particular gives
Oppenheimer's detonation scene a run for its money. The sound design is arguably even
better than the CGI. This is the best Godzilla has ever sounded. The
score is invigorating, and it delivers a clever take on the Godzilla motif.
See it on the biggest screen you can, preferably Imax. It's a solid
a And then the comments that follow people that have seen this movie are like,
dude, you are spot on. This film is badass. I can't
wait to see it again. So apparently they made this on a fifty million
dollar budget, and not only does it look and sound great, the story
and the acting is supposed to be like really good. It's like a real
life scenario, but Godzilla is there, you know, like Godzilla is a
real thing. But it's a very authentic take, like this actually happened,
you know, like, this is a real thing. Whereas America we do
this to our TV. We gotta dumb it down, and we got to
spoon feed everything to everybody. We've got to make everything just so easy to
follow. But I'm really excited about seeing this fifteen million. That's like that
exactly exactly minimum. I think the last I think this Godzilla film was I
believe one hundred and fifty, somewhere close to two hundred. I mean,
dude, I got up for Godzilla versus Kong during COVID. Yeah, it's
screw it. Let's watch this thing. Watch it at home. I watched
it too, and I was like, this sucks. It's so bad,
terrible because they're so focused on the graphics and the effects and all that stuff
that they don't put any kind of effort into the story. And if it's
crazy, because if you think about it, if you followed Kong and and
Godzilla's films throughout the last few years, you've seen they've got some pretty big
names, absolutely Larcens, Simuel Jackson, where back the Hall is? In
these last few like, they've had some pretty good names involved in these films,
and they just don't put any effort towards the script and we don't care
because we're still going to go see it. Yeah, you just want to
see how cool it looks. And the effect, Yeah didn't look that cool
to me. It was kind of cool. Well if they made Godzilla like
unrealistically fat and that was the problem, and the one with the with the
Brian Krantz. He hasn't been doing nothing, he's just been chilling the world
and then he gets disturbed and I was like, oh, man, I
didn't love uh so yeah, man, good, But that's a real movie
you're talking about. Yeah, just some you know, box office money grab.
Yeah, but apparently it's showing in town and you know some select screens
and i'max is one of them. So we need you check this out.
I want to go see it too. If you go see it, let
us know because I want to. I'm sure you'll see it before I do.
But man, definitely I want to review. I want to. I
want another friend review on this. And the thing that scares people away about
movies like this is the whole subtitles thing. I know, because it's and
you got to get past it, especially when it comes to the great and
the reason I haven't seen it is, like I said, because I haven't
hear anything about it. I mean I've seen it and I was like,
oh, I thought it was an animation movie at first, and then I
saw the trailer. I was like, oh no, this is actually okay.
I've seen nothing on this until I opened up my computer this morning and
saw MZ's post subtitles are coming back in. Though I use them all the
time all the time. The younger Millenniums and gen Z are into subtitles.
They have subtitles on for everything they do. So why is that, I
don't know. I don't know. Is that you know what? It helps?
I watching shows that are dialogue driven, like Succession, even The Bear
a little bit, you know, Yeah, watching shows like that, it's
a helpful to have that on there. I don't really like having that in
Fargo, but in some of these shows it's like you need that. It
helps at least. I don't know. You know why I think it is.
I think because and we talked about this I think once before, maybe
it was on the Old Show about how every like when you're filming doing a
film or a television show, getting the audio right that is going to translate
to everybody's different way of consuming your product. You know, you don't know
if somebody's watching it through their TV speakers or if they've got a badass setup,
or if they're just using like a Visio soundbar, or they're listening on
earbuds. There's so many different ways to consume audio, and you can't get
it right for every vehicle. You just can't. And there's certain times where
I will watch something, let's say on Netflix, and then I want to
flip over to Amazon or Prime Video and watch something, and the audio on
one or the other is just bad and you can't hear, like the music
is ten times louder than the dialogue and you're having to focus in. So
I just leave the subtitles on that way, I'm I'm not going to miss
anything. I bet that's what it is, that the millennials are ahead of
the game realizing movies on TV and my phone they just sound like crap.
I need a little bit of assistance otherwise, don't know what people are saying
and the people are saying. Or you just go to the theater like Almo
draft House on the nineteenth for Office Christmas party. That's good tickets at ninety
seven one the Freak dot com draft House dot com. So here's the scoop.
