Do I wake you up? I wish no got the kids to school,
been doing some laundry. You're gonna take the dog on a walk and
then start prepping for our show, Kevin, Oh, you get to prep
for your show during the morning time, during the day. That's that?
Like? Is this why you guys had us on to make us feel bad
that our show's in the afternoon and yours is in the morning. No,
no, no, we wanted to make you feel bad about the things you've
said this year. Yeah, no, they're hiring everybody on to Phil segments
because they don't have time to prep for the show because they do the morning
show. Actually, I'm very excited for this. Okay, So you guys
are aware that our big boss Paul got a huge promotion and is moving to
oversee the southern California LA market, and we are kind of left as a
rudderless ship when it comes to matters of year end performance reviews that has fallen
upon naming Kevin Turner, and he is going to evaluate everyone on the on
air staff and tell you how you did and submit these forms officially to corporate
and within six to twelve months you'll find out if you still have a job.
Yeah, Kevin, please be nice to us. My contracts up before
that, so I'll find out faster. I think mineus too, for being
yeah, completely honest. And then there's a lot of people going, what's
a contract? Yeah, if you want more TC you might you might be
in good shape here in a couple of months. Let's start with Julie just
because ladies. First, Now, some of these clips are gonna come from
the old down the old speakeasy as well, which I was a part of
so if you hear me in the clip, don't be confused, audience.
But and some will come from the new speakeasy as well. We're just kind
of taking a look at some things, uh, Julie in twenty twenty four,
I think I'm just looking at some of my goal sheet. And uh,
let's try to take it easy on prisoners. We got a letter from
prison written into the speakeasy and it's a good one. I like when you
can tell that people listen a lot, and this guy you can literally if
nothing else to do. So thank you easy Jesus good. We're just laughing
at ourself. Julie. I'm sorry to all prisoners who are listening right now
because you know words offenders. M Yeah, I apologize to all of them.
That's somebody you don't want to get on their bad sides. So that
was not a smart comment by me. But I'm also happy to provide them
entertainment while they're there hanging out, you know what I mean? Yes,
I actually you it was very funny what had happened. He though it was
funny that Cather's response to your comment was gush. She said, hush.
Maybe his d's don't come the best. Ye you never know. I don't
know. There are times he'd say something, he go just keep right along.
He's not down for everyone. Did say to this good good Let's go
to Jeff. Oh, Jeff, Jeff for a good strong year. Thank
you. But we're gonna need you to to look at a map and really
learn where the states are this year. Twenty twenty four. Polease. Tita
Turner died at her home in Switzerland yesterday at the age of eighty three.
I'm home in Switzerland. That's because the happiest countries are all the Nordic countries.
Yeah, I don't think that's considered Nordic. Let me check. I
think that's is Switzerland. Hey, watch you shut up. I looked it
up, Matt, Switzerland is not considered the Nordic person Austria, France,
Germany, and Italy. Hey, different Central Europe geography. Funny geography.
Hey, you want to hear something funny about geography. I learned Colorado is
up and left last year. I thought it was up and right. Oh
no, that's I had been to Colorado three times. I thought I was
going up and right. I relate to Kavanaugh in a lot of ways.
Geography is not one of them, but one of them is went back into
a corner when somebody is out knowledging you is just to say, why don't
you shut up? It works every time. I think lashing out is a
very healthy response mistakes. No one goes to the quick shut up more than
Jeff, and they have a few knowledge gaps, and geography is indeed one
of them. You know, you're the Switzerland thing. Not concerned about that
one, but knowing where Colorado is that was one where I went. You
got to offer that up on your own. Hey, bruh, Texas.
What else matters? Just Texas? I mean, it should be its own
country. It's bigger and britten. I don't care. Why would I ever
leave anyway? That's a good point. We'll go back to Julie. Julie,
we actually went ahead and got ahead of the curve here on this one.
We went ahead and got rid of a feature that our station used to
do just because of you. Here's what the freak is happening. It is
a Stars postgame party today on the Speakeasy. The Dallas Stars winning at home
last night in a game seven two to one. Over here do we play
over. I was already thinking about Vegas. Okay, that's terrible. I
had I had a little Kevin stroke there, I really did. You got
a Kevin stroke I think lasted longer than mine my strokes. Because you're the
hockey expert too well, I was at the game. I was at the
game and forgot who they played about this terrible two to one over here?
Do we play? Over? Jeff's got a little bit of dip in his
mouth and Julie, hey, kt time out? Is this a performance reviews?
Can you make sure that you note on your paper who helped her,
gave her who they played? Kevin good team player? He put a check
on a blank piece of paper. Just now. I'm just very grateful for
you in that moment. And that was breathless, Save me, Save me.
That was very funny though, because that Julie also has like smoker voice
there from it. Do we play? Do we play? Is it?
It's easy to get scared, you know in those mills. They didn't write
anything for that one. I was just you know, just jamming, just
add living or whatever. It's like, this will be easy. I was
at the game last night. I can just talk about it when I forgot
who we played. Now, this is a clip Jeff that's labeled the one
thing that Jeff hasn't done. And I think goals are a big part of
employee performance reviews. So for some of our goals for twenty twenty four,
I'd like for you to check this one off. This is the one thing
Jeff hasn't done. Did the driving gig? You've done everything. Listen to
the radio. Yeah, He's like, yes, I have everything, but
one thing, and it's creeping. At the same time, Oh god,
not dude, and it is creeping. I was just telling Catherine last week.
I was like, you watched your back in the hallway, Jeff the
whole week off. You know, you're right. I don't think I don't
think that's my type. What do you mean you can get American service man,
I don't think our values. If you had to lose your gay virgin
with one male here on our staff, on our staff, yeah, please
line up as me cathering yourself in it, Ben's skin grooves, Mike,
Ryan or Danny and Soroy. I would select Soroy just for the physical intimacy.
But if we're gonna hold each other after and talk about life, I
would choose Danny. I'm slightly more attracted to Mike, but I'm more attracted
to Danny's heart talk. Oh okaye, No, you should pick him.
You should pick him. That's funny, that's fucky. Yeah, when you
kick Saroy out, I'll just be waiting outside for the conversation aspect of the
post coital experience. Yeah, I mean, I think if I'm gonna,
I've been ordered by work to get this knocked out by work. Yes,
as well as we'll get too. See you soon, Danny, all right,
buddy, as soon as Mikey gets back from New Orleans. Yeah,
we'll make it happen, Julie. Moving forward in twenty twenty four, we're
gonna try not to turn NFL players into verbs. Okay, And you know
what, I don't blame them. You gotta human. Just grab it at
you like the life, the majestic version of a fishing and people clubbed it
to death like a baby. I didn't I don't blame them. I didn't
do it. She was just standing there on the boat. Should I have
dove in front of the mallet the save the what would you do? I
don't know. Julius in the car with three friends and they all get out
and they're like, hey, Jules, we're gonna go murder people. And
You're like, well, I didn't do it. That is not that is
not. Don't Kelvin Joseph Me. She made his name a bird. Incredible,
Wow, Calvin Joseph. I didn't realize that the Kelvin Kelvin Joseph Me
was also attached to the Marlin incident. There was so much. That's when
y'all found out that I was on a boat where they beat up in marlin
one time, and then I whipped out the Kelvin Joseph. I have a
lot going on in my life. I'm so sorry that goon squad just bashing
the head of the marlin is something I've woke up at night because of that,
just nightmares and watching you you with the cocktail, just watching it and
laughing. Now I'm kidding, I was not laughing. That was not lasting.
That would be shocking though. Just pull that big fish on the boat
and go bamn. Yeah. I mean we didn't have a plane. We
knew we were fishing. We didn't talk about what was gonna happen after we
caught the fish and they just started going to town. We're like, uh,
okay, we're gonna continue Jeff and Julie's iHeart Employee Performance review by taking
a look. I'm gonna be honest. You guys know this by now.
These are just clips that weren't voted for in the top fifty or didn't you
know, make the top fifty in the clips of the year. And I
was, oh, you're just burning a segment. No, not burn burning
segments. But we don't let him go to waste. This is one of
my favorite things that happened though, because the way Jeff said this word was
funny. Dude, I fried some bone in thighs yesterday. Best chicken I've
ever had in my life in my life, I've ever had in my life.
And I don't know what the magic was. I don't know. He
take it a little Owen Wilson in my life. The best chicken I've ever
had in my life in my life. I don't know if that's fun understanding
to everyone, that's funny to me. I understand in the review what it's
worth. Look, it's just worth noting. Okay, yeah, okay,
most honestly, most employer reviews, they're just done but because the company says
you have to do right, there's not really anything that you're looking for.
There's no grating or anything like that. We're just gonna copy and paste that
transcript into the additional comments section, okay, just to throw them off in
my life, I like chicken, Sue me. Was it good chicken?
Though? For real? In your air fire? It was amazing? What
did you do it? Was it just raw chicken, just some thighs and
you threw them in the fire. And yeah, I used my wing recipe
in the air fryer. Okay, I just didn't realize how good an air
fryer is for for the chicken until I got it lit. Was it like
a sauce You dipped them in sauce and then put them in the air fire?
Or how did that work? A double dry rub? Guy? What
I do is I hit it with a little bit of olive oil, so
we'll obviously hold my dry rubs, and then you go with the carnivore red
for some color and some flavor, and then you go with the cluck or
dust for a little bit of heat. Are thighs? Did thighs have bones?
I don't know if I ever had a chicken thigh, Yeah, of
course they have bones. Yeah, you need to have a chicken thigh,
Kevin, I don't like good. Does your thigh have a bone? Kevin?
What makes you better than a chicken? Fair? Yes, chicken thighs
have bones. Now you can have thigh meat that's removed from the bone,
but generally speaking, yes, can you get them without the bone? Yes?
I just said that because I like chicken wings bone in, but everything
else we could just go with no bone. Are you unwilling to alter what
you were going to say even though the person answers it before you ask it.
Yeah, because you were just going to ask. I was going to
get about the bone. Yeah, what are you up for? Reviews?
That's tomorrow and it's not going to be good. It's not gonna be good.
You need to review you. Tomorrow is going to be a problem.
I fear Julie, Hey, can we have a little levity when we're reporting
on big time stories in twenty twenty four? Not everything can be a Joe
okay, and for full context, I was making her laugh by doing the
Allan dance. But I can't help you out. He's got another setting,
though, where it's like total allan, and he's like, and he gotta
just swing your hid his name. He goes, hey, guys, oh
you're not You're doing this while you're swinging your heid. That's what he's being
a little bit of a stinker. There is everyone sere's that button next story.
There's a lot of guys listening to it. Would definitely take one for
the two. At least seventy nine, at least seventy ninety people are dead.
You want to try that one at the giggle skip us. No,
let's try it again anywhere, but rewind and try it again. But it
doesn't fit the story. It made me laugh and I started reading and it
was a terrible moment. Seventy nine people are dead and more than I'm sorry,
I'm gonna do this story later. Let's talk about the Twitter one yesterday
peoples to be the top headline of the day. I have a question real
quick for Julie, since you know I'm here to help kind of co conduct
this this egg what could possibly be an exit interview? How many people,
Julie, in your mind, need to die before you take it seriously?
I guess seventy nine is not enough. No, Like once we get into
the eighties, the eighties, okay, so yeah, I'll take it seriously.
So like, you know, the Titanic sinking that you definitely would not
have laughed at that. You know, it's like fifteen hundred people. I
can't believe you would even ask me that. I'm just checking. That was
such a tragedy. Okay, there's nobody You guys don't all go by the
Randy Moss rule. It's eighty four eighty four Okay, more of a Doug
Cosby rule for me. But that's okay, Danny has has Kevin ever done
that Alan dance? While you're trying to broadcast serious news? There's one thing
you would You wouldn't know it, but if he were not by listening to
the Morning show, because this morning show doesn't really laugh. We don't have
good laughers. No, we're not good laughers. I listened to Julie and
Christina and Groobs and like, man, yeah, we just look at it.
Somebody will say the funniest thing in the world, and we'll just kind
of gon, we're not good laughers, and we all we all back up
away from the microphone. Yeah, not a great plan. No, it's
not. Do you all laugh in life? Yeah, of course no.
I think we laugh all the time. But I think I probably laugh more
than anybody on this show. I think we're bad laughers on the air.
It's just on the air. Like for me, it's it's just you know
me. So I don't really think about it if I on the air,
not on the air, But if someone makes me laugh, I laugh.
So just relax, be yourself, just la. It is the joy of
the Julie because I don't believe in the fake laugh either. It sounds weird
and forced and contrived. Cracks me up. What you just said is really
funny. It cracks me up that none of you laugh. It makes it
funnier. But then also it's a gift that Julie is very easy to entertain
because it makes life really fun because she's really laughing, and you don't have
to be that funny the best it's infectious. True, you are funny,
JESF. She's laughing. Kevin, you're all funny. Y'all actually make me
laugh. This made Julie laugh, and it made Julie do more one time,
but that was the number one cup of the year. But this has
become Groups's new toy Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban and Concert at the
Myerson Symphony Center. Interesting. So the Dallas simpis the after it. You
can do it, Harry. That makes me laugh right now, Daniel,
what what do you do? What when I when I mispronounced something, or
get when you broadcast bad and you get stuck Because I didn't realize that that
was where I go, but it is I go. I think I just
stopped talking. Just lean back, roll away from microphone. Somebody else fill
the void. Yeah, like when Ryder does it, he just goes,
damn it. I hate that. My auto response is a goat. That's
so good. I that made you t t Jules. The original one was
really good. But yeah, then when Groog decided to make it his favorite
drop and he's just so dang perfect with his execution in that moment whenever he
played that and that number one clip or whatever. There's no chance Kevin has
that handy to listen. No little juice, Actually I do. I do
tinkle tinkle little jewels, watch her make little yellow pools. Well, thank
you, Celsius energy. You just added a letter and I don't know what
letter it was what is it? Celsius? Yeah, I think you had
an h because it's delicious, and none of us ever mispronounced words, so
we have to call you out on it. Well, I do mispronounced words,
yep, the only one on our show, and I do promise somewhere
down the road was that. That was when I was going down a bed
trying to make words, and I just made that sound as a device face
have to do. The next minute of that, sly legit took her headphones
off. She has to go to the bathroom. She's leaving. She is
leaving. Don't you want to hear this? Okay, okay, the door's
closed. I think that means she probably went a little bit. I think
she said she did, okay, because she's not leaving the woom like you
didn't suddenly just have to go. She had an accident, she did.
I think she said she did. Rinder's the best when a drop gets played
out of nowhere, you know, or or somebody accidentally like misfires, he
just always goes, what was that? That? The hell? She hears
the goat. Julie makes a little mope. You know. I was hopeful
that this would just be something that happened. Everyone kind of forgot about.
It really is embarrassing, number one, It actually really is embarrassing. It's
awesome. But you know, Grubes just has a lot of power over me.
On the touch of a button, he can make me snort, laugh
and then if it's a very special day, he laughed, and that's what
happened. Yeah. Sorry, Well overall, good job, gang. I
think they're going to be fine, don't you. I haint they're gonna be
fine. It doesn't really matter because it's gonna take work Day six to twelve
months to get that front. That's true. It's the last time you logged
into work day. Kevanall I don't know how. He doesn't know how to
get into his email. I can't get in my email. You can't get
into it. Authenticator two step is on my old phone. I got no
boot and I don't know how to transfer the authentic D You can skip that.
It'll just text you. It'll text you. Only person on my show
that knows how to email. Think about that for a second. Oh my
god. Yeah, you're right. At the last place I worked, everybody
understood. You just had to text Jeff if you need something. It's hard
being an employee. They're not going to do that. Jeff's got a funny
story of something he learned from his dad a long time ago. I think
it was like one of those you know, you like get like a camera
speeding ticket or something or something. You know. I forgot what the violation.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh.
Yeah, I didn't get it. I've never been summoned for jury duty and
my life, really, I didn't get it. Not once learned it from
a dad he'd never been summoned either. Are you not registered to vote?
No? I just don't get it. No, I am. I just
never got it. Oh, they don't reach out that when theyssed it.
When they send you these important documents, it says they'll reach back out at
the end. They usually don't. Just checking it. If I didn't check
it that I don't. I never received it, never received it. I
don't know. Yeah, and they're not sitting a registered mail where you have
to sign for it, so there's no way to prove it on the mail
man. I've never seen it, sure enough. All right, Well you'll
do what y'all do it on the show today. And I don't know.
I sent some notes to myself last night, but I forgot what they were.
All right, really good though I don't miss it. Hopefully you texted
them to yourself and not email. I did see you here, they're right
there, I texted myself. I want to know when did literally every athlete
start going with let's go as the only thing that they yell when something happens.
Yeah, or LFG on Twitter. Yeah right, it's either let's go
or let's effing go. But there is no other thing that gets yelled when
you do good in sport. It's just let's go. And I don't know
when that started. Yeah, it's changed. We could get more creative with
our fired up things like you know, like come on, pomp it up.
Oh yeah, all right, Julie Dobbs, Jeff Cavanaugh. They will
be with you from two to six pm, Space o'clock afternoon. Oh we
all got short break here. Okay, youre them two to six today on
the Speakeasy Bye gang, good job, bye guys. Belt Oh yeah,
