Transcript

Good morning. It's a little cold out there. Not if you got hot at a black check table or if they can't city cheeks. You're feeling pretty good. There's no temperature that could disappoint you. We're gonna have fun a lot of stuff today on the show Commercials Halftime Show. The guy from Crowley that lost his huge monitor lizard. You know, we got it old a lot of shows. You're gonna come in here talk about the super Bowl all day long. No show is gonna have on. The guy from Crowley that

lost his huge monitor lizard. Now he thinks there's a chance that it was stolen while he was unloading groceries into the house. But it's dangerous because this lizard eats tropical conditions. Nine we'll talk to Tray, Crazy Tray, not great track nine nothing not. You have a turner of Danny Baylis, Mike's Roy. We have JJ Jackson here, probably excited about the Big beyance drop last night. We are just really chuck full of hot steaming energy. WHOA

I am hot steaming steaming energy. Kevin's Energy steams hot seeming steaming steaming Hi Kevin him, Hi, JJ, Good morning, everybody morning, Mike, Big Mark ready to rumble. Looks like you're ready to fumble. I will say, uh, first super Bowl Sunday, that we have done this particular show to get at least for Danny and I. Yeah, and if you're invited to a big soire and you do this particular job, don't go. Yeah, stay home, don't go to the soare and we I don't know

if you don't do it later. I just the theory of super Bowl party. We can chat about that too, because I think we should do it now. Fine, you don't get to see anything. Yeah, you get to hear a lot of people talking loudly, a lot of comments in elevated volume. Zingers. There's zingers. There are zingers. There's pointing and bitching about things. I don't want zingers on weekends. I only want zingers during the week. Yes, sweek days zingers. But then even a different shift.

And fine, you can go home and get caught up and watch a condensed game and watch commercials and rewatch halftime all this stuff. But no, I hear Jay Bam six o'clock. We're going. I think we're all because you know, being long, long time world famous radio personalities. I think all of our Super Bowl party dance cards could have been pretty full. I had a lot of options, really, and yeah, that's up Tocky.

I didn't get a single on back anywhere. Of course she did. I really didn't, and I politely declined them all and they're like, oh, come on man. It's like, dude, I just can't because by the time that game's over and I've got to process all of it and sit down and go over the audio that you need to pull for the next day. Like, there's no way because I have to rewatch the whole thing because it's Mikey. It start to finish from like four o'clock until basically what ten last

night? Yeah, overtime? Who saw that coming? Yeah. So it's just so much. I was telling Kevin this morning. It feels like just America has blue Balls and they just release it on the world on Super Bowl Sunday. It's everything. It is military, it's flyovers, it is anthems, it's pageantry, it's pop music, it's commerce and capitalism and the commercials. It's just so much. How big can we peacock our feathers and make

us look insanely American? And it doesn't stop until it goes to the news or Reacher or Cranker or Wanker or whatever that show was it was on afterwards, it's and you just sit there and you're just kind of like and you're full of guacamole and you got a fart. You're just like, oh my god, I can't move. I can't think. We are all gluttonous with the food and the booze. It's America's holiday. It's America Day totally. It's not Christmas. Well, it's not fourth of July. It's what happens

yesterday in February. Right, it's your one time too. It's it's the time we're most sensitive to agenda as well. Because we're all gathered here. It's the largest audience will all have all at once. So Corporate America with their advertisements, the NFL, with whatever messaging they want to get out, everything is like set up to take advantage of. Okay, we're all out here, seven billion proud. However, many people are on this ef and

Earth. I don't even know what's their tracker an eight billion proud, all scattered. We got America at here for sure, and then we have a little bit of a global audience. So We're gonna definitely market to them as well too, which is good. Good. Do you think then it's like bam, yeah, smack you for six hours and you get the tamu ad stuck in your head. Do you think that Ben Laden Junior is just sitting in a cave somewhere with a little TV in front of him, just taking

notes? If it is like the once a year people in some distant land like check in with America? Yeah, yeah, just full sen nation. I think his son's probably, if he's anything like his dad, probably just underneath the ground watching Porno. And then you get and then like three days later it's Ballentine's Day, which kind of feels like trying to get it going again after you just finished five minutes ago, and it takes forever. It's like, why am I doing this? You know what I'm saying? Really,

I guess I'll get a card. Here's your card. I'm still recovering from Super Bowl someday, hurts to try to get it going again. Man, No, so you both watch it home? Yeah, solo Danny by choice, Kevin because of lack of I mean, I put myself into a situation where I would not get that many invites because at heart, I mean, I'm introverted. I just flip it on when I need to, and I like to have good times every once in a while, but most of

the time I've introverted and staying home was awesome. Oh it's so great. And this job is it's different. I might be the guy that bitches about having a morning show radio like morning radio show, that's good, right, But the advantages the afternoon drive compared to that days like this it just sticks

out like a sore thup. Yeah, or doing anything during the week at night it sticks out like, oh, I have been nice to be in the afternoons, and you know, I have a different feeling when I'm walking out of the building at you know, ten thirty am, when people are just starting their day. But it's also that we get to set the topic. You know, it's not Today's not one of those days where it's our job to evolve the topic. That feels kind of nice. Yeah, we

get to set it like that. Point. One thing is kind of funny too, when you you you kind of decline your super Bowl party invitations during the game, intermittently you'll get text from the party that you said no to and it's always like these amazing spreads of food and cheeseboards and cocktails. You're looking at all that, and meanwhile I'm eating a burrito I made out of a can of refried beans from Albertson's. You know that's what you went with.

I just didn't plan ahead that. Mom On, dude, beans, you gotta put a leffort in. I went out. He has beans. I went and grabbed some, like really really cheap, you know, go to the market, get your wings. Got to do it that way. It feels like a little healthier. I don't know if it's true or not. And then I had delivered via door dash Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen. I are you serious? Yes, yes, would you go with your bowling A's

I want little simple today. I want a little triple ronie. I just don't want something basic, you know, because I already had like some winged he had some other flavors. How was out of pizza with a normal amount of pepperonium that tripled the amount of the cups three times, I'm not following, and the slab of pepperoni. It was awesome and it's still gonna be awesome. When I finish it off today that should made guacamole? Does it was on? It was on. I had guacamole. Yeah, guacamo.

It looks great because it's amazing. The grocery store homemade bean burrito was like later in like the second half. I did actually cook before the game. Okay, it was good, you know, made some chicken and it was great. Where did you guys get your avocados from for the guacamole? Mexico? Okay, good, there's a song that reminds me there is avocados from Mexico. Wow. I actually get mine from Lithuania. Thank you God, thank you. We're working on it. That tropical fruit hot bed opened the

Baltics. They were red. It was red red guacamole. It's funny. The super Bowl party, all the food's kind of cute when you get there too, you know, like fashion into footballs and everything kind of looks. There's bits. There's also a signature drink you know that somebody made that was delicious and they were great hosts. I mean, it's nobody's fault, but if you're actually planning on ingesting the game or how the commercials are the halftime,

any of it and really kind of registering what you're looking at. You just can't do it in a there's seventy five people. You were also broadcasting too, which means your mind has turned on about making the next joke true or listening to a conversation. No, I'm not listening. I'm just thinking about the next joke. Yeah, it's funny. Those the ladies will often put together spreads in the men too. Sure they bitch in maybe I don't

know. Well, it looks so beautiful and like you said, oh wow, pretzels shape like a football, and by the time that Nance and Romo turn out the lights, it looks like there was a velociraptor fight in the just atop the table. Like you're right, it's all this little perfect pyramid of cheese, cheese cubes or something, and the first fatty that rolls in there usually me just knocks the whole thing over. Gimme dat, and you can always tell what the unpopular snacks were. At the end of the party.

There was a fruit mountain. It looked looked the same upon departure as it did on arrival. Why do they do that? Why do you have to throw in fruit and salads when you realize that you'd be better off if you just had like pork mountain. Yeah, yeah, mountain right. I

don't know. I had a great time. It's fun. I was with Dan and Jake on their stream, so yes, it was about almost five and a half hours NonStop stream and because of how it's set up, we we had the game on in front of us, but it was muted because you can't hear it in your ears and you can't broadcast it like that. You know, however that's working. Yeah, so I didn't hear I didn't hear Romost say one word yesterday. Yeah, that's not that's not ideal.

No, And you're just not following the game all that closely. I did go downstairs for halftime and I tried to watch that, and I saw more of that than I did anything else, at least with audio. But even then they're just squawking. And those parties, more often than not, you're getting together with people you, in all likelihood haven't seen for weeks, maybe months. Yeah, in person. Yeah, so it's a lot of catching up, of course, But to defend them, it's just that's what it

is. It's a big party, Yeah, and keep an eye on the game. They don't have to talk about it the next morning at six eight, you know. Yeah, so we're a little unique in that. And if you're just watching it for fun and you're not a Chiefs or a Niners fan, and then if you are, you shouldn't be going to a party anyway. I would not have the zero chances or cowboys cowboys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're shutting down and locking in right. But for what

they do is that it's you know, where the world's going. And we've seen in the NFL tune and Peyton Manning and Elon Manning and they're trying to do it with basketball the hell they did it with a rod and baseball. Yeah, I would say about that too. Yeah. They're not even listening to the announcers. They're like, just like Joe and Troy do it again. They're just watching it like live concurrentley. Yeah, it's up. Y'all are in a den in South Lake and just it looked cool. Man.

I saw a picture. Well, you were partying. It was really fun and it was great. Yeah, I loved it. Funny, God, those dudes are hilarious. Over under on numbers of brown drinks. I'm gonna go with five and a half and I might take the over one a quarter. Pregame, halftime show, post game, I'd say you're both over.

Only had one brown drink, oh beer drink, no clear drink out, a lot of white drink and a few of these specialty like there's some Sangria type thing that they made so kind of reddish drink, reddish drink or sugar in that. Here we go. Yeah, and only when bl was there and he had a little Basil Hayden of course, uh private cask type thing he always does, and got down on some of that. Yeah, it's fun. It was a good time. It's fun for you. Do you see a nap in your future? Ay, Look, one of us had

to go out and experience life. You know, all stay in and be shuttered. We're all representing different ways that people take in the Super Bowl. I love it. Yeah, I'm your every man fantastic who knows it ended excitingly on the last play and that's all I got. That's all. Yeah, Chiefs won throughout the day. We'll have you covered Mike and Metroplex on all the Romo broadcast stuff. That was kind of funny commercials, usher other

stuff. Also, Luca's got some new toys. They made their debut Saturday Afternoon Contender, best team in the league. Yeah, one game, seven o'clock on that, and also how golfers embarrassed themselves as well as humans. I cannot wait. I'm almost as excited for wasted management coverage as I am for the Super Bowl. So good, it is so good. And they said anything goes right, yeah, and it's what they needed. More on that at seven, Oh, I can't wait. More on that at seven.

So we're gonna have a lot of fun. And again we'll talk to Trey from Crowley who lost his monitor lizard. I just want to know how much that monitor lizard could be going for on the open market. It's huge. I just looked it up. They're essentially Komodo dragons kind of Yeah, they're very similar. Massive. He found it at a feed shop, kept going is like I want to buy it, and they're like, no, you can't. He kept coming back in like a week later, haggle a

little bit more. A week later, haggle a little bit more, got the price down to a number who's comfortable with, bought it and then he was explaining. He's like, I'm really worried about it because if someone did take it, he was he was, it could have broken out of the cage because he was just he was. He had just gone to the store taking groceries inside. He could have gotten out of the cage. And I guess it was in the car. I guess, or he was in the

car while he's unloading groceries. Someone sees it took it out of his car. I think that's what he thinks happened. And he's like, if someone did take it, they're not ready for how to take care of this guy. He eats a lot and he needs a tropical environment, and I wonder if he's dangerous. I don't know he did. I texted him directly, because I say his story was in the telegram. I texted him directly, and he did say that he had ninety seven one of those presets. Like,

I don't know. If we're number one on there, you know, we'll take any spot the top five. Yeah, five, it would be great. We're about twenty six on his presets. Yeah, five feet in length, these things average? Yeah, who the hef without like a plan ahead of time, is gonna glance into a car and see a five foot Komodo dragon, essentially basically a dinosaur. I'm gonna pick I'm gonna grab that and extended arm, run it over to my car and throw it in there

and then drive somewhere. This isn't this is a hit. You know, this is a This is a big breaking news story in the Metroplex, and everyone's gonna be late to it. You know you're gonna see people start to copy us for having him on. But thank you to the Telegram for getting it first. Thank you for being a subscriber. Yeah. Well, you know, I see a story and I feel like it's worthy. I go on the attack. We're gonna find that monitor lizard for the for our guy

here, doing good for a good metroplex. What write that down? Doing good for a good metroplex that can start every show ever and end it. I don't care. I can never hear that enough. Well, I have five pairs of Dave matthews Man tickets to give away later in the week. If you think you can take me on, get your ass up to the studio and I'll whip your ass and DMB trivia. Okay, no one's even

attempted to contact us yet to accept this. Now you're so convincing, yep, So we just won't worry about those tickets today though, I really don't want to mess with it. So let's do this right now. Crap happened over the weekend. We're going to talk about it now. I don't know how what what are this gonna go on? But I have to tell you, guys, I may have seen the America, but maybe the world's greatest

gambler in action this weekend. Okay, I saw a man just with equations flying over his head, just knowing exactly what to do in every situation, calm, while the people around him failing miserably. Left. Right, Did you play blackjack with Mike Reiner? You're half correct, because I sat next to one Kevin Turner at a blackjack table. I have never seen whispering pit bosses, frantic casino management, just assuming he's doing something untoward, if not

illegal, as he is, just dominating. Although you plut my nose, Oh, he pulled up. He pulled out a hundred, one hundred dollars bill to blow his nose. Had that plenty? Laughed at him, So I stopped up, just trying to get it out flowed again. Sometimes you go through it twice. Guys, another one, get a clean one. Seriously, Kevio smashed it at the blackjack tables. Pick Molkie shopping, buddy. Look, everyone wins when you go to Chalk Taw Mike, you know

that, not everyone. How long were you at the table for five hours? Oh my god? Okay, it was so. It was so we went to dinner and by me, Mike, Christina, Ben's Skin Jeff, and then Skin's wife Trish, and Ben's sun Max, and then my fiance Rocks, and we roll hanging after the show. Rocks is like, I'm going to see the Joe bro So she just went, I was a great. I was at the table so long that I felt like I was there for ten minutes. And turned around and she was already back at a table

with Christina and Skin's wife just gossiping. They're all doing bird stuff. You did feel like the shortest concert of all time. Yeah, blink your eyes and it was done. But that's how time flies. The cards are flying. Yeah, don't just skim by dinner. We went to Salt and Stone, which is a restaurant in the Chalk Taw. Oh, okay, I'm not fine. Yes, it was a radio thing. The reason we're up there, Chalktaw is awesome. Like Christina's never been in Vegas and we're going

in April. We're going to the fish show at the Spear and she's kind of excited and we're walking around Chalktaw and even in the rooms. I'm like, if you're wondering this is Vegas, it is, you wouldn't how long would it take you? I mean you have to get all the way outside. Obviously, it's a long walk. If you're deep in the bells of that thing. It's every time I go better than I remembered. Just so fun. It's like class. Yeah, it's almost like it's a nice casino

in Vegas. Hell, you can go to eighty percent of them in Vegas and it's nowhere near as nice as chalk Taw. It's like something trendy about it too, though. Yeah, they're just very it's not people. Yeah, and I love that hot people. Hey, I've been to like sorry about mornings, alright, A good one. I've been to like casinos that I won't name because like I'll say, there's one of that like my grandparents

go to and it's like, yeah, you go in there. It's like, yeah, it's a bunch of people that are around the age of my grandparents. They have special sections for the oxygen tanks. Yeah, it really is a lot of people on wheels. You're the gambling you would do is the over underclostomy bags like three and a half, three and a half, like chalk Tows just dope. It's it's salt and stone delicious. Jesus if you need to go, if you're going to chalk Taw and I got to

eat somewhere, I can't recommend that. That might be the best poutine I've eaten South of the Border poutine that said fried green tomatoes, Danny, which have those shown love? But yeah, the blike Jackson, so you know, you get your there're about twenty minute increments of dealers and well you get one. We got nicknames for all of them. They love that. Yeah, they do love that. Boy. Some dealers just instantly hate hate us

because we split Danny. Though, you gotta understand you're not You're not expecting at at least I wasn't at the young age of thirty six when I'm you know, when The Kid Kradick used to be syndicated in which Tall Falls, and we didn't have many radio stations, so the Kid Crati Show would be on. You know, so when you're at thirteen Mom's revenue school. Yeah, told me that when I'm an adult, I'm gonna play blackjack with Kelly

Raspberry into the night. You're not really thinking that's gonna happen. Yeah, we get to hang out with Kelly Raspberry. Oh, you finally got to meet her. Probably got to meet her. Dude, Good for you. I don't want to go to you know, it's been a dream of yours some time. She sat there and split it. I think she got she get two two's split up, but got another two split it and got another four splits. She had four two's lined up, and boy, and then

if you get an eight, you gotta double that or nine. I think she had worst case scenario and ended up with four to twelve somehow. Yeah, she got wiped out on all four counts. But either way, the rest of the table, we're all going split them up, split them up every time, Danny. These idiots, if they have any two cards that match, including two face cards, which means okay, we basically just won.

They're trying to split them. Okay. It was so bad that I left the table and I actually googled does bad poker play mathematically affect your chances of winning at a table? Like they violated every rule of blackjack. I was driving me insane, but it turned out it's like, now it's all so just random. It doesn't matter if they take your card, you know,

or whatever. And I actually didn't know that answer, and I'm like, all right, screw it, I'll stick around, and it all just worked out for one Yeah, okay, so it's not outcome based on probability based go against the grain a little bit, yeah, become a thousand are So you sat there for five hours? How long was your big streak like

where you're like, holy crap, I am up, up up. It was pretty early end of the night, and it was when, first of all, keep in mind, none of this money was my own, because Mike Rener's assistant Rebecca handed me Kavanaugh and Ben's son Max a one hundred dollars bill just to gamble with it. So I was like, we put this on one hand, or what do we do with It's just like okay,

because she probably has Ryaner's paycheck direct to positive he won't notice. It was pretty odd, really, just handed you guys hundreds, yeah, and some I missed that. We were kind of like, oh, okay, so you started with one hundred dollars of not your own money, yeah, and then walked with what I got up to five hundred, then I went down a little and then got up to seven fifty, and then went down to five hundred, then got up to one thousand, then went down to seven

fifty, then got out up to about fifteen hundred. Ooh, and that's when I started, you start getting real about to do a five hundred dollars hand here? What are we gonna do? Like, we're you know, we're at a fifteen dollar table too. That's why I you don't gamble. Fifteen hundred, got down to about twelve, and then it was probably about time to go, and I was like, well, let's get to a

good firm, even number. So I ended up with a thousand. I was up a thousand after five hours, right, and all that drinks and just chaos and screaming and screaming and just just reactions. Yeah, someone else does it to the table, You're just all night. Why the dealer didn't like us? Oh yeah, Rick the dealer. Rick was annoyed with us for sure. And then after all that, they just slide a one single chip to Cavio and it's what yellow the golden sun, a golden chip worth

one thousand dollars. That's amazing. And he just stands there with an open palm. It's America too, just like super Bowl Days of America. You're standing there with a thousand dollars one little chip and a little smile on us. Fantastic. Well, if you hate drunk people, you don't want to being a car dealer is probably not the best line of work for you.

Our table too, it's a combination of us and as Me and it's Roy Ben and Skin and Max and then Kelly Raspberry and Amy Jane from sales slide by and they hop in and a couple of listeners kind of bookingd into thing like it was on. So we're telling when the dealers was coming like, hey, we're rowdy and we're all friends here. That's what it's about. It was a beautiful night and I did not think once about getting up. I could have stayed for another five hours. I'm telling you, yeah,

I was good, but it was time to go. It's awesome and would have choked you out if you stayed there for a couple hours. As you get that, I'm going up text and you're go, okay, yeah, because also you have a girl kind of hovering behind you, which is fine cause they don't want to play black Jackler's kind of hanging out. They don't want to just stand there for five hours. Shary thinks I gambled too much too, And I'm like, she's like, you're you were down earlier though,

And I'm like, you're assuming I was down. I took free money that was hated to me. Yeah, I turned that into a thousand dollars. There's nothing there's literally nothing bad about this, I know. And I was cutting a promo for you. I'm look at this man, he's holding the Golden Chip. This is a moment to celebrate him. And she's she was not Yeah, she still wasn't even happy. She wasn't impressed that she got to party with Kevin the Whale. No. Yeah, yeah, it's

just it's just gonna just kinda lean into his other bad gambling habits. You know, he's gonna staraging toxic behavior in our relationship. All right, well okay, well we're gonna do a lot of super congratulations, congratulations, choctaw awesome, go there, people. Can we get a washing machine with this thousand dollars please? And a dishwasher washer split him? Yeah, combo washer

and dishwasher. That's what that money's going to her. I think. Uh, coming up next, Mike, we're gonna move your reliant spots in the next break. It went from being one of the most boring Super Bowls ever to one of the greatest. Next of ninety seven won the free
