00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.839
Happy New Year, everybody, here
we go. You see what happened on

2
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.760
the Cowboys game Saturday night? Are
you asking me directly? I am?

3
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.520
Or is that a rhetorical question?
Both? Yes, I did. I

4
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:41.799
watched the whole damn game, Kevin, the whole damn game. Well,

5
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.159
we have a rules expert to lay
down the law at nine o'clock. We're

6
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:49.520
not just gonna sit around and be
like every other person we've heard jo their

7
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.679
idea about what happened. Who you
don't, you're so encovered and reported No.

8
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.560
Nine o'clock NFL on Fox, Rules
analyst Dean Blandino calls in to tell

9
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.719
us what happened, Who's right,
Who's wrong? Why does it better?

10
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:14.159
Nine o'clock, eight thirty DINGUS Morning
News. Wow, that's hard to get

11
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.719
past the nine o'clock team. Thinker's
Morning News to day thirty. It's back

12
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:25.480
Japan News today. Now, man, there's some big changes that have gone

13
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:32.319
down since yesterday in this great land
of ours. And I want to see

14
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.000
where our beautiful state of Texas stacks
up against the other states in this great

15
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:44.760
nation of ours. And I'm talking
about minimum wage. Minimum wage increases went

16
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.280
into effect for a lot of States, was Texas one of them? Oh,

17
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.680
and if it wasn't, what is
our minimum wage? Do you even

18
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.400
know? I don't find out then, and we'll find out exactly how would

19
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.200
you be able to live city if
you were making minimum wage, which we're

20
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:07.000
not far from up here at the
freak now real close to it. But

21
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:13.159
thankfully our wonderful company pays us a
little bit more than minimum wage. Witter

22
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.879
company is going to start offering maximum
wage. That should be happening. Money

23
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.039
is not real, it can be
created. Well, you think that if

24
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.159
you're saying that there is a minimum
wage, you're kind of inferring that there

25
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.879
is also a maximum wage. Right, There is no maximum wage, just

26
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.719
as capitalist society bro it is.
There's no such thing as a maximum wage,

27
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.719
but there is a minimum wage.
Yeah, that things can change in

28
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:43.199
election years. Eight o'clock. I
stayed up for MAVs Longhorns for Maths and

29
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.080
Longhorns. But the Longhorns game,
which I defen knew it when they had

30
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:52.479
seven forty five kickoff scheduled, I
knew it. They do this every year

31
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.080
eight o'clock, nine o'clock on the
East coast. If you watch that game

32
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.719
in the East coast wanted to see
it to the end of you were up

33
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:04.039
till one am all because the Rose
Bowl, because we have to start the

34
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.919
game at this time. We have
the Rose Bolt break and those bad off

35
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.719
Rose Bowl. Those damn Bowl games
are eternal. They are. It's a

36
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:17.199
four hour investment. Yeah, especially
if it's close. The other argument that

37
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.400
I get about this is, well, if you like football, then like

38
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.759
it's like longer, so who cares. I'm going no, that's not.

39
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.800
We still have crap we gotta do
in life. You know, there's twenty

40
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.759
four hours in a day, and
ideally four of those are not spent on

41
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:37.560
a football game. Ideally four of
those are spent listening to the downbeat ideality.

42
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.120
But you know, coin Flip,
we a little short handed today,

43
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.120
bro, Yeah, Mikey's sick.
Yep, it's six season. I mean,

44
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.479
we've got COVID and flu rates rising
throughout the Metroplex, and he told

45
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.199
us he was not feeling good.
He took his test. He's not Uh,

46
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.639
he's not Captain COVID today, which
is nice. I told him,

47
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.360
if he can up here with even
the hint of a cough, he's gonna

48
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:08.520
catch these hands. Because I don't
want to get to see Okay, Yeah,

49
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.360
he's been feeling like asked for the
last forty eight and uh yeah,

50
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.360
bad like hacking, cough all night
long. No fever though, which is

51
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:21.160
good. And he took his little
COVID test yesterday and that came back negative,

52
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.120
so he claims he'll be back tomorrow. But I knew this was gonna

53
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.079
happen, and I thought it was
gonna happen to me because two nights ago

54
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.360
or two mornings ago, I woke
up thinking, uh, oh, well,

55
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.839
this is gonna be a great look
for me to be in bed with

56
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:42.480
the flu. Yeah, when we're
supposed to be all hands on deck on

57
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.759
jan second for what will be a
short work week for us. Maybe maybe

58
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.920
for a lot of folks. I'm
sure, since yesterday was a holiday.

59
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.680
Man, I was thinking, I'm
gonna be sick and I'm gonna have to

60
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.519
make that damn phone call to the
boss and say, yeah, I know

61
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.800
I've been off for two weeks,
but guess what, I'm not going to

62
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.560
be back on time. I did
not have to make that phone call,

63
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.600
but there's two people up here that
did, yes, and it's not either

64
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.319
one of us. It's one of
them's Mikey Sroy and I believe Skin might

65
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:18.079
be missing today as well because he
had big fever a couple days ago,

66
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:27.839
apparently one seventeen celsius, which they
don't It's not good. He said.

67
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.680
He topped out at one zero four
two days ago and it was much better

68
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:36.160
back to like ninety nine yesterday,
but still not good to come back.

69
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:42.040
I don't know what the rule of
thumb is, but I think it's twenty

70
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.480
four hours fever free before you should
return, yeah, to work and be

71
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.560
around people. Well, I don't
know. Once it's not there, I

72
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.959
feel like I'm good. But you
know, this is the problem. If

73
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:58.839
I get sick, I want to
be knocked out for a day and just

74
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:03.079
get it out of systems. I'll
take a much more intense or harsh sickness

75
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.959
than some lingering three four five day
thing. And I think that's what we've

76
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:12.319
kind of been seeing with with well. I mean that was I'm trying not

77
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.800
to combine COVID and the flukes are
two different things, but I feel like

78
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.639
flu season January. I saw a
story on the news last night. It

79
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:26.319
was kind of about that, why
your cold and flu symptoms linger this time?

80
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.279
Of year, and I was like, oh, I don't really remember

81
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.439
why. You're getting a good answer
why, But the point is, don't

82
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.720
linger, get it to me and
get me back to work. They linger

83
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:42.000
because people don't take advice and do
what they should do, which is nothing.

84
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.000
Yeah, that's a problem is we
have to work. You know,

85
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:53.480
most people don't have They're not afforded
the luxury of taking the necessary week off

86
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.600
to recuperate, and they go back
early and that stuff just lingers lingers,

87
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.959
and you can relapse and end up
right back where you started where. Look,

88
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.040
man, I get it, and
we have that kind of pressure job

89
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:14.040
where if you're not here, it's
pretty known and it's not looked upon favorably

90
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.959
to just knock off a week from
work because you don't feel good. I

91
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.079
mean date, after five days,
I was like, I'm ready to go

92
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:25.199
back to work. And I wouldn't
have had two weeks off at Christmas except

93
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.600
they switched their shows in July,
so these vacation days, I was like,

94
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.399
I can't take them now with the
new show in July. So we're

95
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:38.319
sitting here kind of like I mean, having two weeks uf at Christmas is

96
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.399
nice, especially if you have to
travel or anything. Sure, after a

97
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.360
week, I was like, I'm
good to go back. I'm recharged,

98
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:47.959
I'm ready. Yeah, I felt
bad. Mikey was texting us last night

99
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.439
saying, I feel terrible about leaving
you guys and not being there for the

100
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.720
first day back. I'm like,
man, look, he's a young man.

101
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.720
He's forty six, forty seven.
But still you start getting passed like

102
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.879
thirty thirty five, forty and you
got to take these things a little bit

103
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:09.240
more serious before. I know you
don't, but you will. And look,

104
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.839
get the rest. No one's gonna
fault you for not coming in because

105
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.000
you are sick. If he came
in sick, he was gonna be feeling

106
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.959
worse than he feels now at home
because he was gonna catch these hands.

107
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.199
Yeah, you said that earlier and
I thought it was silly, and you

108
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.839
said it again, and it's even
more silly because you decided to repeat it.

109
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:33.480
Oh, a duke outa turner,
Mikey's gonna catch hands. We're gonna

110
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.559
get some New Year's stuff here in
a second. You know, that's a

111
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.919
big story we're tracking this morning.
Danny. If you saw in Japan a

112
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:48.320
passenger plane got hit by a Coastguard
plane and engulfed in flames on the runway.

113
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.000
That'll be the most important thing in
the world. At six thirty five.

114
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.519
It's the big story this morning.
Not only that they're they're having to

115
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.759
fight through earthquakes too. I mean, what a man. Start to twenty

116
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.240
two twenty four for Japan, and
that's the most important thing in the world

117
00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:09.039
here in DFW uh obviously support to
seven, we'll dive into the Cowboys game

118
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:15.399
because there's a million different angles and
it was a crazy night that was all

119
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:20.279
fueled by Jimmy Johnson going into the
Ring of Honor so much, so much

120
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.279
to unpack. Does the unpacking never
stops? You tired of that one?

121
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.159
By the way, I kind of
I kind of don't like that one.

122
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.480
Do you have your phrases for twenty
twenty four that we need to get rid

123
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.799
of? Dude? I need to
round them up because I've got plenty.

124
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:39.360
Yeah, and also some verbal crutches
of mine that I just want to stop

125
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:45.840
going with. But that's one of
them here. Big story, Well,

126
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:52.440
all right, well get to it
then open your suitcase. Bro, mav

127
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.679
sucked last night. We'll get to
that at eight. I do have an

128
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.799
opportunity for our listeners though. If

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.879
you a pair of tickets to see
the MAVs and the Grizzlies next Tuesday night,

133
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.559
a week from today. I saw
this post when I woke up this

134
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.320
morning, and I engaged with it. Kevin, Oh, did you tag

135
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.480
someone? I didn't tag anybody because
I'm not eligible to win, but I

136
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:33.000
did retweet it. So yeah,
check out our Twitter page, our Instagram

137
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.879
page, and you can win some
kick ass seats to upcoming MAVs game.

138
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.799
Damn real easy, straight, very
easy, very easy rules here. You

139
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.200
know, spread the word to go
ahead and give it a repost or whatever.

140
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.519
We're trying to get more out there, as you may know. Also

141
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:54.000
over we're talking about Skin maybe being
out. I think it's in all likelihood.

142
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.919
Yeah, it's sick. I was
wondering if if it was because he

143
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.159
was on Epstein's list. We'll find
out at seven thirty. Oh my god,

144
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.840
go ahead, Danny. Uh,
when's the last time you were a

145
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.799
jack in the box? I thought
you said when was the last time I

146
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:18.480
eat jack in the box? It's
pretty well, but yeah, there's one

147
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.960
close to me though, so I
have getten the hankering for the quick.

148
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.720
Let me just run through and see. You know, I've got the one

149
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:30.200
that is. I could walk to
it within probably four minutes, four or

150
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.639
five minutes from my house, drive
by it every day coming to We're going,

151
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.679
you know, a couple of a
couple of talkies sound pretty good right

152
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.919
now, but I typically pass once
every couple of months. I'll get hungry.

153
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.519
Yeah, I'm go an blow through
here real quick. I haven't done

154
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:50.559
it in probably seven or eight months, maybe since uh when Mike Reiner did

155
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.799
the Jack in the Box Taco challenge
if you remember that, where he had

156
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.840
to exist one day where every meal
was a Jack in the box taco and

157
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.679
I think he ate like eight of
them, and he said, we didn't

158
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.480
have any gastro intestinal ramifications. He's
far number one. He's a known liar,

159
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.840
okay. And I was in the
room with him for four hours that

160
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:16.080
not only that day, but the
next and maybe there wasn't any audio evidence

161
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:22.039
of him having gastro intestine issues,
but the aroma is unforgettable. Yeah,

162
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.840
yeah, so yes, he can't
yeh, you can't escape that. Well.

163
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:31.960
They have unrolled their latest culinary brainchild, and it's called the smash Jack.

164
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.200
Okay, and apparently the new greeting. Like when and I've worked in

165
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.519
fast not fast food, but I've
worked at pizza places and one of them

166
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.879
was a corporate corporate spot back in
my twenties. And you know, there's

167
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.159
these directives that come down and when
when you unveil a new item, there's

168
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.799
like these copy points that you have
to adhere to in ways that you have

169
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.399
to serve the blizzard upside down,
and there's this lingo that you've got to

170
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.480
get going to engage your your customers
and whatnot. Well, Jack and there's

171
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:09.120
Jack in the box. There's no
exception for the the unveiling of their smash

172
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.480
Jack because they're new greeting. When
you pull up to the drive through sans

173
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.279
clown. You're probably too young to
remember the clown and you would go to

174
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.399
the drive through and the big box
with the menu and the speaker. There's

175
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.960
this big ass clown that was on
top of it, and I think sometime

176
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.480
in the eighties they blew him up
animated. No, dude, this is

177
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.279
an actual guy. No, not
a no, an inflatable no, no,

178
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.320
no no. It was part of
like a metal contraption that was just

179
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.799
a clown that was on top and
the jack, big head clown like a

180
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:45.320
Jack in the box. Yeah,
it pops open and there's it was the

181
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.480
reveal, you know, yeah,
when the jack comes out of the box

182
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.679
anyway, stupid. I think they
blew him up in the eighties and that

183
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.279
was a big marketing campaign. We're
blowing up the clown. Well, when

184
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.840
you pull up to the drive through
and then you place your order, you

185
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:09.720
know, you're typically greeted by an
employee. Their new greeting when you pull

186
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:18.159
up to the drive through is hey
want to get smashed, and it's kind

187
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.759
of going viral and employees at Jack
in the Box you're like, really,

188
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.159
I gotta say this, because you
know what three in the three in the

189
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.200
morning, when you're ordering food at
a drive through. Everybody's real mature,

190
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.879
and especially with the crowd day market
too right and takes things real seriously,

191
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:43.440
so they're they're not gonna they're not
gonna make fun of that. What a

192
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.559
beating though, if you're what a
beating for employees that have to take on

193
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:56.720
these exactly, but these directives from
these marketing folks and corporate folks that think

194
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:00.559
this is going to be a great
campaign and it's key, And the next

195
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:01.600
thing, you know, you get
these employees are like, really, I

196
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.799
have to do this. And there's
a girl, Hey, welcome to Jack

197
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.759
in the Box. I want to
get smashed? Hell yeah, hell yeah,

198
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:13.960
hell yeah. Is the guy already
had it in his hand while ordering?

199
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:20.519
I ever heard it Jack in the
Bux. I'm telling right now you

200
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:22.960
guys. You know I can take
my talents over to Taco Bueno at any

201
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.759
point. Yeah, just so you
know, dude, on fast Food on

202
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:33.720
the Fast Food Mixed Master where I
live, you just walk ten feet and

203
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:39.159
there's another one. Yeah, no
it's not it's and I don't know.

204
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.759
It's what's wild about when you moved
to a new place, So you get

205
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.519
tired of it after about a year, but it's kind of exciting when you

206
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.240
move to a new spot and you're
like, hey, look at all my

207
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.639
spots. I can go to the
spots that I have at my major intersection.

208
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.600
I think I could eat fast food
every day for two weeks and not

209
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:02.240
have a repeat. I don't think
I'm kidding. You got enough? Yeah,

210
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.000
well you don't want it again either
though. So for me, after

211
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.559
I've had a place, I won't
go to that for three months. But

212
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:14.000
just on one side of the highway, if you look left to right,

213
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.519
there was a Denny's, there was
a Jack in the Box, a McDonald's,

214
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.960
and a waffle house. Now when
you get to the other side,

215
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:27.159
the south side, the good stuff, so much stuff. There's a freaking

216
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:33.240
Grande's next to a Grand capon D's. It's like nineteen eighty two, that

217
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:38.039
ridiculous all over again. Up in
Jim Miller in thirty Broke. Captain Yeah,

218
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.600
I know that area though, Oh
yeah, yeah, that's a while

219
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.600
the Captain d still exists. Oh
yeah, Captain D's, Burger King,

220
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:52.440
and then across from that you have
Wendy's, Taco Bell, Popeyes, KFC.

221
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:57.120
I mean, I'm not kidding,
Kevin. Then you have like Taco

222
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:03.159
Lane, Ye, Taco Lane,
Chicken Lane, Burger Lane, everything,

223
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.039
and then you get a little bit
south and then it's unlimited Takoias. So

224
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:14.000
many. That's when you get your
reggio and some of the more independent ones.

225
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.279
But it's great. Yeah, if
you like that the moss over there,

226
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.759
Uh no, no, that's that's
I don't have a taco zy moss

227
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:26.599
right by that on they going off
Ross and Dallas, of course is the

228
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.400
you know, if you like fast
food, be my neighbor. Yeah,

229
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:36.440
I complete, won't you be my
neighbor. We want to remind you that

230
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:40.279
you can call her text in at
anytime two one four or eight one seven

231
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.599
seven eight seven one nine seven one. We've got J. J. Jackson

232
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:49.119
in their patrol and that for us
of course. Mikey uh gone, he'll

233
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:52.680
be back next week. It was
a rough week for the Dolphins too,

234
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.599
so maybe that's what made him sick, as they gave up about sixty points.

235
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.519
Danny, before we get into the
most important thing in the world in

236
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.960
about ten minutes, what did uh? How was your New Year's situation?

237
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:12.119
I hang out? Yeah, yeah. I kept a little Malki overnight because

238
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.119
his mom had a thing with her
family, and I just said, you

239
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:21.519
know what, give me that baby, and we were asleep before before the

240
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.880
New Year rang in. I did. I did get a text from my

241
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:30.440
mom on the East coast right at
eleven o'clock my time, and uh wishing

242
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.920
wishing me a happy New Year.
I thought that was very nice, Like,

243
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:36.200
Mom, why are you still up? You go to bed at like

244
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:40.079
eight. We didn't go out or
anything. In fact, we actually uh

245
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:45.680
by we me and rock. She
went to her family's thing and they stay

246
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:52.160
up all night, and I went
home to hang out with my parents,

247
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:53.960
like my mom's birthday weekend too.
So I hung out with my parents in

248
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:59.480
Olney, a couple hours away.
And uh, you know, my brother's

249
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.319
got three little girls under the age
of six, so but they all made

250
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.279
it. But did you see what
was airing on? Like because you have

251
00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.880
your traditional it's weird as a Sunday
night too, say, like Sunday night

252
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.359
football is on. We're Packers fans, so watch the Packers game. It

253
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:21.319
was like Dick Clark's New Year's Rock
and Eve with Ryan Seacrest, which made

254
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:26.599
me go when Ryan Seacrest dies,
it's gonna be Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest

255
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:33.799
New Year's Rock and Eve with Bad
Buddy, It'll always be Dick Clark's rocking

256
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.160
New Year's Eve with the predecessor yeah, because he was the first one.

257
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.200
It makes sense even though they wronged
him that one time when they made him

258
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.920
go out into the countdown. When
the predecessor, that's the person that came

259
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.960
before you, whoever comes after Ryan
Seacrest, it'll still I think they'll still

260
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:52.880
retain the Dick Clark name, right, I think so. I don't think

261
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.599
it really matters. I don't think
anybody cares to be I mean, Kevin,

262
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:59.920
I'm surprised you brought it up,
i Okaye. I shouldn't have,

263
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.960
honestly, but his whole show wronged
him that year that they made him do

264
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:10.319
the countdown when he after he'd had
a stroke. That was the most shocking

265
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:14.160
thing. He sounded like me after
a great joke. He can barely get

266
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:19.000
words out while he was counting backwards
from ten. We should make you do

267
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.400
that when you tell a good joke, just start counting down. The New

268
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:29.359
Year five is known as the famous
one where they heeded the countdown. I

269
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:30.680
don't want to play it. We
don't need to play it. Who's the

270
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:36.079
here? Let me let me say
something while you while you play again.

271
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.559
It's that case. It almost sounds
like that case of when the person is

272
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:48.079
wearing a headset and they're in a
stadium where there's an echo and they and

273
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:56.640
they always sound drunk like they they
sound stroky, but his was real stroke.

274
00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:59.720
It's his show, and he had
had a stroke recently. Why did

275
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.000
they up for this? Because four
is known as the last time that he

276
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:07.880
did the countdown pre stroke. Then
O five he had the stroke at some

277
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:12.799
point and his producers on his show
and ABC made him do the countdown at

278
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:23.359
five and he king, you creak
me up here? You seven? Six?

279
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:30.880
That's not the one he said,
It sounds perfect. That must have

280
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.160
been the year before. Oh my
gosh, never mind, it's not worth

281
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:42.279
it. And also right, rest
in peace? Uh rest p eleven years

282
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:48.000
ago. So that's on. So
that's happening, and I'm like interesting.

283
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:52.599
Flipped it over to the other channels. CBS went all in on Blake Shelton.

284
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:59.200
They had Nashville New Year's Eve.
Hell yeah, Fox, I don't

285
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.799
know what that foxes doing. So
I'm just kind of waiting looking the Eastern

286
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.559
thing. Yeah, they should as
the most popular show. Get ready for

287
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.799
season twelve of that coming up in
February day, What dumbass game do you

288
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.119
want us to play? With that, I think we should have a mass

289
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.000
singer draft. Oh my god,
tried to draft who would be the mystery

290
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.599
se less celebrities that they put on? That I think can be fun.

291
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:26.319
Can we just transfer all of my
SNL picks and just yea them, have

292
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:32.039
them fill those holes. I'm okay
with that. Okay, So then I

293
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:38.119
go to a channel five, NBC
five because they usually the last few years

294
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:44.799
had done Lone Star New Year's Eve
at Texas Live now Big d n Y

295
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:49.480
was a great tradition here down you
know by the American Airline Center. The

296
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.960
stars would play as they did this
year and got a big eight to one

297
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.680
victory and the Stars just murdered them. That's a good tradition. New Year's

298
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:00.680
Eve stars play and then you come
out there some concert and a big party

299
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:06.400
down there, a mess, but
a party, and that just has gone

300
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:08.480
away now and the last few years
it was like Texas Live. Well,

301
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:15.759
this year they did lone Star New
Year's Eve and they did a huge fireworks

302
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.440
thing out of Reunion Tower yep,
okay, which they is common to do

303
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.279
fireworks off Reunion Tower. Was that
every year, but they kind of had

304
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.880
a set up there comboed that up
with some drones with the Drone Show and

305
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.519
the Drug Show was ridiculous. Dude, they're out of this world. It

306
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:37.400
was incredible. And these are I
mean, look the Drone Show slash replacing

307
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.920
the fireworks by all metrics. People
love it better. They're just so incredibly

308
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:49.240
well executed and perfectly coordinated. And
we're pretty young into the advent of this

309
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:52.440
technology. Yeah, can you imagine
what these are gonna look like in ten

310
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.119
years? Okay, Well, this
is the thing there was and I would

311
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.319
never question, like like nitpick something
like this, but there was a small

312
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.400
like there was a bit of a
gaff at the end. But their Drone

313
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:08.079
Show they said had five hundred drones, okay, and the way did it

314
00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.559
worked, I thought it was a
thousand, the fact that it was five

315
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:17.799
hundred. But they did decade by
decade, and they changed the music by

316
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.599
each decade. So it started in
like the forties or fifties. Okay,

317
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:25.160
fifties, it was like some Elvis
and stuff. They went to the sixties.

318
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:29.680
They well, tricky history here.
They played some Chuck Berry and apparently

319
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:33.640
he used to fart on hookers.
That's just a thing. Thanks for that.

320
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:40.640
Nugget and they moved to the seventies. Music changes to the eighties is

321
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:42.079
kind of fun to guess what song
are they gonna play? Good thing?

322
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.960
There was no farting on hookers in
the seventies, thank god. And then

323
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.359
the nineties. I was like,
I said, there going, We're just

324
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:55.920
I guess what nineties on they might
play Nirvana, maybe maybe, maybe that's

325
00:24:55.960 --> 00:25:00.279
a grunge. They played Can't Touch
This by my mc hammer. That was

326
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.079
in the nineties. I thought it
was late eighties personally, but you know

327
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.359
it was in the transition because the
drones there's a few drones set to the

328
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.720
side that are changing the number nineteen
eighty and they switch around to go to

329
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:18.000
ninety, but they form mc hammer
and they make a platform and he's doing

330
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.279
the dance back and forth, you
know, the mc hammer pants dance.

331
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.240
That was incredible. And you were
watching this on television, watching this on

332
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:36.160
television while also they're throwing it back
and forth to a pre recorded concert at
