Transcript

I played today with a ton of gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity to do this. I'm really glad I get to do it again tomorrow, and I'm gonna remind myself I'm a dog and I'm ready for this moment. Oh yeah, no, I do like this. I was thinking of walk like an Egyptian. I said it before. I thought it was fun like an bring I seeing cav It's a big keV y'all. I'm back. Hey guys, Danny Baylis is here. You bet your buns. Mike Strays here, JJ

Jackson is here, and Kevin is here. All right, let's have fun today. A lot of stuff. Actually, I will tell you about travels and how I did. I thought I I saw the light a little bit, not so much from the plane, but from the Russian woman in side. Ey'd be on the boat. We were convinced you would be running toward the light at some point, Caroline, Yeah, or if a plane engine was a light flame. Not having Internet on the flight back, catch up

storagejeels, show breath, you know, how are you listening? I bought Internet just for the way back. With that costume and the free iHeartRadio app works in the sky too. They don't promote that enough. That should be the thing that they promote the most. We work in the sky, works at three hundred thousand feet over Greenland or wherever I was. Did you look at your little map when you were Bos says yes, And I had no idea. Was this pilot drunk? Were were we going? So up?

I left? It was cold. I looked at it just in the mountains. I was like, is he avoiding the water for me? He doesn't understand the shortest no distance between two points. Yes, he had to drive over where Santa lives. This fifteen hour flight would have been eight hours if you just got in to it right. But we had to quit doofing around up there, take the scenic route. But I kind of visited England in London too. I saw it all Ireland. I was like, are we

going west? Did we go over the Pacific? I was so confused. I'm not convinced the world's flat though. Okay, right, Well, any people all out to get Kyrie back in the day, you should have just hurt him out a little bit. The last time you've been that high in the sky listening to the downbeat, We'll make you start thinking. During empty nester talk, I started going, I think the world is flat. It's kind of strange than you. Man, Was it miserable to fight back?

Did you sleep at all? Because that's the hard one when you go that way, usually it's overnight, you know, and you'll I don't know, I don't know when you want to do this crap we have, we're gonna whip you about it. So the flight back was longer. But because I when I had purchased internet for that one, I didn't purchase internet for the flat over. I used the tools that were given to me, the TV on the you know boss yeah, to be my own boss on American airlines,

dumb phone game apps and reading books. Boy, you like you reinstall the candy crush? Oh my god, I've been played for ten years just to get through a couple a couple hours, not even like twenty minutes. Right, he's like the world champion of angry birds on Lands and Brussels Angry Birds HQ. There's like a single blip, like Jesus, somebody's playing again. Hold up, he's playing a lot stocks slowly going up? Is there

anyone just crushing angry birds every every day? Yes, there's still Yeah, because dude, when you go to the app store for games, I was shocked to find that Angry Birds is still an option. Yeah. One of my favorite pastimes getting home from the bar. Oh, dude, sitting now on my front porch in the lawn chair, having the late night amstell light, crushing a sig and playing Angry Birds till three point thirty in the morning is so good, like an hour. God, that is a great afternoon

drive privilegeashing its little towers. It was so fun. God, my life was so much simpler back then. And then they came. They had a movie, right, they made a movie. Yeah, you can't play the movie. No, you just look at it. I want to be involved. When I'm smashing birds into bricks with the little slingshot thing or whatever, you pull them back and they have different This one explodes, This one freezes everything. That was a fun game to play. Drunken haze, I'm about

to pass out. But it's weird that something like that burns so bright and then it was the lost of you heard it or even saw someone over their shoulder playing. I hadn't thought about it until I got onto the app store. I moved from that to trying to learn an Italian with dual lingo. There used to be a late night thing too. There's a lot of stupid crap. Yeah, that is better than blasting birds against bricks and rocks, trying to smash them all and if you smash them, we get to go

to the next level. But they made it so hard because if you get three stars, you know they're winning it. It's just an infinite levels, right yeah. Yeah, it's like, look, I'm not gonna I'll never pay for this, and it's like, well hold on one dollar. Yeah, and the exploding birds use whatever I want any level, so good, I'll double click that. So the fight back was actually fine as I was, you know, on the Internet and looking for stories and things like that

and having a good time and just finding airplane after airplane story. I think Danny and I both in the scuttle Button Dingo's Morning News will have a plane story or two. I have a terminal story. All right, this story never made it year, just action. Where are the Colorado Rockies involved in a plane scandal? I mean, I had so much crap. Uh, tonight's the draft and me and Jeffrey are gonna do it. We're gonna do

it at the Buffalo Wild Wings and Grapevine. Right. So the six am crew, if you is going to come out and see us out there, we're going to do the draft. Then the Cowboys picked twenty fourth. There's no MAVs or Stars tonight or Rangers for that for that matter. So come out and see us. I've got the NFL Draft bonanza at eight am. It would be half assed if we didn't, right, because I actually did a lot of draft prep, unlike the last well when I used to do

it, you know, but I did crash courses. I learned over the trip that I would be doing it with Jeff. But you did more this year than you have in the last couple of years. No, no, no way, less, he's done nothing this year. I have done nothing. Yeah, well, well until except DRAFTSA then well except on like I got ready, I started mashing. I got tipped off a couple of weeks ago. There might be something for me and Jeff if the MAVs didn't play

and the schedule came out. He knows nothing about the draft, but he can rank his top ten Ficasha Breads. Don't even bring up bread to me right now, bread pasta, really cheese. They all sound terrible. It feels like I tell you that Danny and I surprised you on today, your return date. We got in about an hour for Zoli's is catering a welcome home Kevin party. I paid Exer for them to drive it up from their one location Waco. Have you ever submitted or succumbed? Yes, I have

to, and it's not very good. No in my head. Yeah, the breadsticks amazing and it's still nice Alfredo whatever, but yeah, it's what it's fast food Italian. Yeah, fight back to Italian food. Fine out of I believe that. Find out in Rome. Here are your two Here are your two meal options. First chicken, and I'm like, I'll have neither since I I did last night. If it wasn't the Morning Show, if we had another shift, I would have. I would have surprised Kevin

with a giant Italian fist like I wanted to do it. And then I was like, what's the Italian breakfast? Can I do this? And then obviously it is not sound good about on all of it right now. I told you man, when I was there, it was probably twelve days in there a pretty long time, and I just did. I muttered to myself, I'm sick of Italian food. And there's just it's one of those things you never thought you'd hear yourself saying, well, yeah, not in Italy.

You wouldn't think you'd say it. But imagine here even eating kind of Italian food for three days in a row four Like, sure, I love Italian food. I hate some. Last night, I went to Jimmy's food store. You did when I went to the doctor at Baylor. I always go to Jimmy's and load up. So yes, I had Italian last night. But you do it every damn day, and it's right, it's a lot. Did you did that hit you before you left Italy? I mean,

like, were you kind of like all right? So I didn't have until day three And I'll detail this more at nine, but it was about day three and I was still like, I don't know if I've had that good food orgasm yet. You know, I'm still searching. So I was still being there really on the ground. Seven days is kind of like by day three is when I started to really get into it. And that's as you worked further south starts stumbling upon just amazing. I mean, i'll detail

it at nine. But the best sandwich, the best, and it's not. It's not. I could have told you, Oh, I bet it'll be the best. It'll be the best pizza I've ever had. It'll be the best possible. Sure, No, And then you go and you're like Jesus Christ, I'll never have that again like that. It's amazing. And it's because of the soil and the tomatoes. What happened your voice right there that last sentence, there's two words soil and tomatoes. You said differently.

Huh. I didn't say I didn't hear that? Did you at the gas station? No? Oh? Did you take the listener's advice and go down that alley? Yeah? Yeah? Did you left to have wound something? You're leaking right over kidney gun and they don't have guns in Italy, but so many knives. They're stabbing people there. Die. He told you to stand at the fountain. Had left over the bridge two pm to something and one more left two o'clock. So he said that was hard to really get

all that. Boy. I'll tell you what too. When I got to my house, and I don't I don't live in a big house. I have a small house, but I went Jesus my house. It's like a mansion right now compared to how little everything is, the streets and the places. I was like, I don't know it was. Did you feel like the stay huffed marshmallow man walking around the street. I feel like that right now, dude, I got it. I was like, Okay, we're going to the gym tomorrow. We're going to hulk this out. Do you

have a scale at your house? Uh? You know, I do. I didn't think to do it, but I first thing that I did right before we leave and already get back. I didn't check it before I left, like an idiot. Do you think you did Game five plus? Oh? Yeah, maybe ten? I think I gained like eight. Not a boy more. I get a shirt that fits me pretty well, you know, like to word, I'm trying to look slimming. And even that, I was like, okay, I'm kind of stretching this bad boy out.

But then I got home last night and I was hungry last night. They didn't eat much on the plane, and I said I want some dim sum. Yeah, and we mixed that up. Went to jing Chi and Richardson and just went to Poundtown on some dumplings. That usually when I get back to Texas from a long trip, and usually the trips are Stateside, the first thing that I want when I get back here is Mexican food. It's just terrible if you get out of Texas pretty much. Yeah, but yeah,

the rich European food travel vacation. I think the first thing that I would want to do and probably eat for a week is like fuugh, just water and vegetables. Water. Yes, how do you get dehydrated on a trip? And I just did because they're not offering you water like here, every time you sit down, they're filling up your picture of water. But a restaurant, you gotta water the water. Steel or sparkling and yeah, gas or scene gas gos crazy. Did you drink a bunch of wine on

the trip? I had wine sprintzes. I don't delicious Italian gin I have. I didn't know there was such a big Gin and tonic people. They are huge on gin out there, so tons of spritzes. What's a sprit the Appo spirts? Oh, Camari sprits, the lemon Cello sprits. You I would have thought lemon cello would be the greatest drink I've ever I don't. I didn't. I don't love the sprits, but I definitely had a lot of them. I loved all things lemon lemonillo sprits, but the apparol

sprits there's some flavor in. There's a little cough medicine to it that I didn't. I agree with you on that that's bitter. Is that there's a little bit of bitter to Yeah, for sure, but it does look good, and it kind of when you're there looking at the mount, you're just going hot dog. Then I pulled up Vesuvius tracker more on that. At nine, we're having fun. Did you watch a movie on the way out

there? On? Okay? What did they offer a movie on the p Yeah, I mean you have selections, watch a bunch of different ones. Yeah. She watched a good rom com with Sidney Sweeney in it. So I was definitely looking over there every once in a while. Yeah, And Sidney Sweeney was looking back at me with her cross eye with their flotation devices, their cross eye on her walk. Dad, what do you want if we go down? I remember this son? All right? Dad, Okay,

don't elbow wide range of that elbow. You just hit me in the amazing comedy she took off her over the shoulder boulder holder son, I'm sorry. Get a lot of that going on. H What airline were you on Americana? Yeah, so they have the free entertainment the app. I like their system. Yeah they're so no, Danny, they didn't. Did they show a movie through the tonight's feature? His costam blue back and enjoy a movie? The screen comes down? Here we go, I'll put something good.

That's it, gonn. But I do realize that on the international flight you can have the selections and the whole library. But yeah, I mean I figured like they'd still just have that stupid you know, like four screens that are on the roof. Yeah, that would come down passed away. On my way to I just watched way that the airport seventy seven? What I watched Wonka on my fight to Vegas. I loved it with Timothy Shama Lama great in it. What that movie get panned so hard? I did

it? I don't know. I don't think anybody went and saw it for you on a plane. It wasn't like popular, But what did it get? That was great? He's saying rock shut like JJ liked JJ, you like Wonka? Not really? Not really? It was all right. Maybe I just heard JJ's review. Yeah, that's all we go with. That's usually good. And I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but eighty two percent on a rotten Tommy, I'm not saying yeah, no, I thought it was awesome. What stood out is that? Why was it one so

hot? What do you mean it's like, yeah, well, you go to anywhere really just I think they're just lean. We're not at the Barcelona airport. They're lean, but their menus have appetizer, first course, second course. They're small so much. Yeah, they're small porches. That's the thing. You The problem I was talking to I remember I was talking to with this about you go to Italy and the problem is you go there and you eat all of the big fat things. They're not eating that stuff for

every meal every day. Yeah, and the portions that they get are not these massive acres of nachos that we order here, acres. You know, it's just different. Great ballpark, dude, The one acre long acre of nacho Chicken nachos Pudge Rodriguez is acre. Oh nacho so I've got many bets I owe you guys. Fudge, just fudge. Budges. Fudge is next to Pudges pizza. He just puts his name in front of all of it. Pudges FuG all of it. It's his same picture, one stock photo

of Budge. No show up to the photo event. Okay, so I got many bets. I gotta pay off. I have to post three feet pictures. At some point, you're on a cooler man Day one of Nascar. He does have an amazing NASCAR shirt you're gonna wear for a week. Yeah, okay, Day one in the books. By the way, he gets the coolest badass NASCAR shirt that you could obtain. Yeah, he might wear it for ten days. Hear that wearing it? Would you wear that? Yeah? Absolutely cool? Sure describe it for us, Kevin Well.

It's a picture of a beer can that would be the mug of Dale Earnhardt's face, and the mustache and sunglasses are over it, cowboy hat and it says, raise, Hail, Praise Dale. He's not dead, he's just one lap ahead. Say it's a it's a beer can that is that is Dale Earnhart. It's just the best beer can wearing sunglasses, a hat and has a mustache, and it's cool. It's cool. We didn't really want you to look cool. But you know what, you're ice cold on these

bets, so I don't mind you taking taking one easy. Well, there's another bet that will pay off for you in fifteen minutes because the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. That's right. I haven't even looked at and I have not tallied this up. So we'll t live on the air, all right, damn it? Handle that I know I got. It's just mushed in. This is one Danny wearing panties on the outside of his jeans. Yeah, you drawing a face on the back of your head and me

having to create OnlyFans account. That's what you did. Too much. That's too much for a stupid bet like that. Do you know who won? I don't. I've not tallied it, okay, but you've seen the winners. I have seen that, Okay, Yes, I know who got inducted. Now I don't know who won the bet. Okay, that's why I inducted all. That's what I meant. Absolutely, that was one of the

first to know how fast was how fast was your internet? They called me, how fast is your internet on the way back and how limited was it? It was great, like you could watch Netflix if you wanted to. Really usually kind of constrict that stuff and their levels, like you can get the basic and then the high quality for streamings? Was it the way they did it was it was about like a two hour plan or by the full plan, and the full plane was like fifty Jesus, we got eleven hour

bear in front of you. You want to climb that bear? So I hit it very early in the flight, so I knew I was going to get into it. I had a lot of draft prepped to do for tonight's big event. Did you see any bears in Italy? Tee up Jeff Cavanaugh to talk about these guys? Hey on THEO and Cavanaugh draft Bonanza had his draft Bananza tonight. Does that make you? Are you Hoss and he's little

Joe? No? I think it's probably the other way around. Yeah, yeah, But I think we're having the Buffalo from Buffalo Wild Wings on too. I think he's gonna jump in that big guy. I would might. I might stop by if he was gonna be there. Y, what's the wing situation in Italy. The amount of ice creams is a guy who doesn't eat a lot of meats and ice cream Like I like it, don't go

for it or crave it a lot. Boy, I'll be damned if you're not thinking after every meal, I'm gonna stop at that delicious gelato spot. Yes you are, and they show you. They put it out. God, it's so good. There's still every gelado spots like this, even in America, where you can look in the thing, but they're like, hey, we got twenty flavors, you get two. It's a small cup even. Yeah, and the way they present the gelato it sells itself. Does

You don't need to advertise gelato. You just look at it and go, oh my god. Want you're right on a portioning. But it is an odd thing. It's all pasta and they love some ice cream of ice cream. But they're lean. But they're lean. It's weird, is it? Because they walk everywhere? Yes? Yeah? Say what my body fell? I mean I felt like I got my ass kicked. Yeah, multiple times, you're just walking everywhere. I was like, I'm hitting mid some step limits. I'd hit a long time. Do you have a stepper? Uh?

Well, mean, yeah, just the what you hit. You had fifteen k oh, I was fifteen almost every day. Yesterday was like I got home and I was at eight k and I was like, this is not enough. I need to go get seven thousand more steps in and then I cut a leg. Cramp yep, just plopped it down. Okay, ketch up on the Daily Show? And have you ever set your goal for the weekend to see how few steps you can take? Have you ever kept it under one hundred? It's hard to do. I think I've kept under

two fifty. H Yes, you could barely do that. And if you don't leave your house just walking to the bathrooms, that's it. That's fifty steps right there, depending on where your turtlet is going to the kitchen for more meat. I think I can do it when I'm sick, for sure, because that's like I doing nothing to lay in bed. But that is under two point fifty. Post those results on Facebook, that's a good bet payoff. I want to get one weekend day with you have two hundred and

fifty steps and you have to prove it. Oh my god, how would you even do that? You couldn't I could, Kevin maybe could because you're gonna do a little draft stuff at eight. At seven, we're gonna hear a story of Danny having its morph into a Karen. Oh yeah, baby Karen, Baby Karen, little baby kk. That'll be a seven and a little bit of sports at seven with you know the other stuff will catch you up on the Rangers and Stars and MAVs and all that stuff. I watched

the MAVs final of Gate two. I watched it not live but via scoreboard tracker and social media. Just stra you didn't watch any of it. Yeah, from a dumper what as I was about to leave at six thirty in the morning, you know, watching Luca close out the Clippers. That was really good to see. Boy, y'all looked crazy. And by y'all, I mean all MAVs fans on Game one. I couldn't watch it either.

It was just bad. But it was like nine thirty PM where I was Sunday night, but none of the bars were showing it and I couldn't get YouTube, TV door and I didn't feel like, weren't you surprised if sports or not. Was very surprised. Unless you're getting soccer, you're not getting anything. No. I was very surprised. I thought it'd be more proud of here. You'd think you could at least find it or find a sports bar. And basketball is very popular in Europe, right, Italy is as

well. Right, we've had some Italian NBA players, quite a few. The NBA playoffs must not be that important. The Nilo Gallinari, h because I would care if it could have been the Celtics and Heat and Co. Well, yeah, we had what's his name then? Guy who played here for a little bit. What was his name? Remember the guy? He was a shooter? We had so many. Did he have Rigatoni or something? Yes? Atoni? What there go? Top Italian NBA players celebrating Italy's

basketball stars. Oh Jesus, you right with you? Okay? Marco Belenelli? Is that what I said? I said, dun you sit down. Gallinari, who's wonderful known as the Italian virtuoso. Alec Surgedti. Oh my god, yeah, it is bad Jobell and Nelly, I mean, but they've made it. They did make it more than we'd ever have. Nicolo o'melli, but oh, Andrea Bargnani. It was nuts to look at Twitter

and every mass fire. Jason kidd and just stuff freaking everyone see any of that time I've been tweeted it. I was like, y'all look crazy. Right now, I'm not watching this game right now, and I'm glad I'm not because we're losing by so much. But after that, it was right around the time we had an eight point second quarter, I think, yeah,

okay, during the game, they were throwing this stuff out. Well, they got still, they got smoked, and we came in here and I couldn't imagine a more measured response to that game one loss than what we had. We had a steady hand, you guys to win Game two. Yeah, and they did. They did, and it was good. And I'm ready to watch a live maps playoff game tomorrow now. If we're missing

the first two I'm like, okay, I'm ready. Like that happening during night too at the draft when the Cowboys take maybe the first running back in the entire draft tomorrow night, all happening live. That's on a Friday night. Screw it, I'm going to grease what coming the next We're gonna tally up a bet because the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction has been named. They've named they put them in. They're putting them in. There's many blood bats here. Did Ozzie get in? Did Mary J. Blige get

in? What about cool in the game? Who else you care? Or you don't. You're probably listing on podcast anyway. That's next. Ninety seven won the Freak
