They are you working or not? Are you throwing you to work today or not? We are every president's day, everybody for the down beat. It's very presidential version of the downbeat. Today. We don't have a calling from Garland Richardson at nine though ahead of today's Daytona five hundred booked him late last night. He's there, He's there, live on the scene with the Gangster Lane. I won't miss that they postponed the Daytona five hundred because I loot.
He's actually happy. Yeah, bad day plans yesterday, so I ought to miss most of it anyway, dude, there's nothing wrong with the good Three Pmay, Yeah, three pm Monday is something that holidays, you know. Quite frankly, I wouldn't watch much of it at home. I would I probably would have watched the beginning and tried to watch the end. You know. No, I don't know. Uh, you just hit record and just kind of scan through trying to be official in motorsports. So yeah,
I'm gonna watch it, all of it. Every lap I am too, super Bowl Motorsports or Nascaro Morning. Danny. Hey, what do you think your total life lap count is? I've watched a few full races, So I definitely did because in the day, as a child I was in I was just trying to think about how long this thing takes us? What two hours? Two and a half day? Probably four hours? Oh was Dayton
on the Big Daddy? Yeah? Five mile, two hundred laps and crashes, go lore hell the last Like Kevin said, the last five ten laps can take half an hour forty five minutes. So what is it two Central, three Eastern that this starts? I think for Eastern four Easter. Okay, so three o'clock, So this sucker is gonna go on until seven pm. They smartly scheduled a primetime finish on Fox Under the Lights luckily on a Monday night rather than a Tuesday. The floor will air it's scheduled time.
I was prepped for this, man, I mean prepped. I was ready to watch it. Rey, sure for your three drivers, you're ready to start your engines. They're gonna have my little checkered flag ready to wave. God, I would love that. I don't know. Well, it's funny. I actually have one, but it's not really a flag. It's a bandana that I got from the van's store for buying Malcolm some shoes. Do
we wear it during the race night and don't take any pictures. Just tell us that you are okay, sure, yeah, but don't lie to us. Don't lie to your friends. Not on President's Day. But he was waving it around yesterday and he said, just like, what's his name Earnhardt? Lightning j Right McQueen. Oh, that's the only race car driver he knows is Lightning McQueen from Cars. That's so childish. He's not even three. What's Larry the cable guy's name in that movie College Chip or something?
I don't remember. My retention of the details of the Pixar film Cars is not great. It's just always on. Haven't you seen it a lot of times? I'm not like watching it intently, just like the Daytona five hundred today pretty much just look at your phone. It's on. Are you gonna get Malcolm to watch some of it? Uh? Yeah, yeah, definitely. I mean, what's I think? Yeah? For sure? Colorful. He'll wake up from nappy right when. Yeah, the green flag gets waved
or whatever it is. Is it a green flag? Is that what starts the race? Green flag? Who's thrown out the first pitch? It's a town of five hundred festivities. Who we got singing the national anthem? Kid rock? They usually mix it up like there'll be a mastress ceremony to someone that's paid X amount to show up. It's not I think that's a bad guess. It's not a bad guess. We got a little music if I
have a band playing, you know out there in the Yeah. I remember back in two thousand and maybe maybe ninety nine, when Fox got the rights to NASCAR. Yeah, this star used to be kind of scattered. You might see it on ESPN, you might see it on TNN, the Nashville Network, you might see a race on T and T here and then, but largely it was kind of scattered and hard to find sometimes. And then they got rights to it on Fox and it went to a whole new level.
Yeah, they added cool graphics, they added I would say racing analytics. I think we could say that, sure, And it kind of became badass. And then Dylarnhardt rammed into the wall. I think that twenty three years ago today, yesterday. Yeah, and I tell you what, my interest a little waned out it did. Yeah, I bet there's some NASCAR purists out there. That think what Fox did to Nascar is what they tried to do to Hockey with the moving puck. Yeah maybe, I don't know,
because it's also NASCAR covered is good. Yeah, it's good on I mean, there's an in car cam in every camera now multiples. I've got how many cameras they have per car? Are they one aim at the driver, one looking forward, one looking backward? One of them moves the one looking back? But do you got in track cams? I got in the wall cams, drones everywhere. Do you think that, Okay, it's still
popular. I'm not. Oh, I don't know. Do you agree though, that it fell off to a certain extent sometime between two thousand and twenty fifteen, probably, and there's probably numbers that prove that, But it was also one of those that the five years prior to that that was all the rage. Is the popularity of NASCAR skyrocketing. Yeah, So I think the people who acknowledged that were just real quick to scream when it started had in
the other direction. I never screamed about it. I just didn't care anymore. They also highly confusing. They've changed the rules up. Yeah, but that's all on an effort to get make such interest, get it going. They have the stages now, like three stages within a race, and you get points for winning the first third and the second third. I mean, yeah, that gets confusing, but it's all done in an effort to keep it going. And just like the NASCAR playoffs, the way they have it
set up, you know, they had to. They wanted to make it to the last race. The last guys were battling for the season long championship, and it kind of kind of works, but not that that's really health interest all that much. So it's clean slate for the drivers. They start today with zero points. There's no carryover from the previous season. Man, that's awesome. It's like vacation days up here, exactly right when the calendar
turns. What a day President's Day, And we're going to celebrate President's Day the only way we know how, by rubbing and racing. We need to give ourselves a big pat on the back for actually being here. You know, trade off, it's a holiday, but we get a trade. We chose to be here. Okay, give yourself a little bit of congratulations. keV Oh. Why we're not only comedy first responders, we are something else. Listen to Danny. It's kind of like hostage video, like they don't
you want they want to be in it. They want to be there. Hello, I'm being treated very well. I love my cap tours, you know I'm saying, but I personally, I've had many disagreements about vacation day theories with coworkers over the years. Here's what I think. A everyone do what they want to do. That's what I think. First of all, A do what you want, okay, and we can make arrangements to figure it all out. Okay, b I'm writing a torch to my vacation days
this year. Finally. Okay, So if you can tell me that I can get a vacation day trade off for working a holiday that's really not a real holiday. Let's face it. It's that's a holiday for mail people, not males. Mailman meilman and bankers. Everyone's working today. Check your patties. Teachers, right, yeah, they let school out too, but that's fine. Teachers. Presidents need to be celebrated. Do they coming up at eight? Find out? Let's see, eight o'clock's gonna be wild. I
learned too much this weekend? Oh? Is it a quiz or just not it was gonna be a quiz, and then I decided we're gonna have too much fun just talking about it. Okay, we could have taken the day off, though you could have. It was an option. No, I think I think it's kind of what they want. Morning warriors don't take unnecessary
days off. Now here's how it used to work. Uh. I guess when I worked at the Eagle Boom, you take a vacations name com day, Bam, I want to work today, comp day to use at anytime, Okay, So then you have a very You could just basically load up on vacation days. Yes, it was awesome. And then I decided to not do that this year because they told us not to. So I decided that. But now we gotta take the vacation day or work. Kevin.
Then they give us a vacation day out of the ratings book in December, which I'm okay with giving me some vacation days on our Christmas because my VA vacation days are looking this year. Kevio is not getting a Christmas break this year? Oh no, Kevio. So that means how are you you never spread holiday cheer in your normal way. Yeah, are you going to celebrate him? It means I don't get to reset, you know, I mean you just keep going. Why what are you doing? You're going? Where's
Keveo? You know more than anyone that going to Italy is a big vacation day hit. You're going to the homeland? Yes? Is the government like paying for your return national celebration? Are you gonna bring your outfit? There's me crashing into the ocean on a bad boeing, just Kevio getting sucked out about ten minutes a castaway this weekend, terrified at this fight. You bring your Cavo outfit? Right? I want to wear his Caveo outfit on the
plane. And when the door plugs on the plane loosen up and the thing flies off and he's sitting on the it's so comfy exit row. He's still in his seat, strapped in, but the Kevo costume just goes sucked down, lies out the door and he's just in his little fruit of the limb Yi boxer just instantly his outfit sucked top of him. But for some reason, the mustache remained attached, just glued to his top lip. As his lip is like aimed with suction towards the window. Close it close it close
the window. The music on the plane, you could hear the plane soundtragon No no, no, no, no no, it's a freezing it's a freezing yeah outfit. The people of Italy would laugh so hard. Yeah, yeah, well, I'm not looking to make them laugh. I think they love super Mario Brothers in Italy. No, they don't love the crocodile Hunter in Australia. You know, I bet they do. They don't. How
do you know, because I've been to this. I know people have been in Australian and they say that that's one of the big stereotypes out there. They think Steve Irwin is a fraud. Steve Irwin, the crocodile Hunter. Oh okay, you're thinking of crocodile They love that's a national treasury. Yeah, I got confused. You you were thinking of Nascar, a great Kenny Irwin. Nope, the spare Matt Nascar mentions today. They're coming at you.
They think Steve Irwin's a buffoon, a knob. I don't know if they think Outback Steakhouse is cheap different because it's a knockoff American owned and based steakhouse that's just themed after their country and done it in a stereotypical way. And you can tell the voiceover guy on the Outback thing is just in a American dude that watched a quick YouTube video on how to speak on Australian accent.
It's our friend Max. Yeah, no rules, just Roy Croiker, he have you see it for blaming on you two for one apps criky. But Steve Papas a real Australian who made it and he sired Bendy. Yeah, okay, yeah, look up Bendy. No, I know what Bendy's about. What's she about? Tell us twenty five? Now I'm just making
sure and she's carrying the mantle. She got into Stranger Things girl territory where you go oh twenty five and they ran her out real quickly after his death and said, go dance on the Today Show, go to the snake dance, and she did it. Do the snake dance, move your head from side to side. Those are the days you need to stop speaking for the people of Australia and what they think. And let's make that pledge this morning, all Australians call in on President's Day the talkbacks. Oh my god,
a real only real Australians leave talkbacks. Yeah, morning, damn bait when he all sound exactly the same bad Hi, guys, guys got killed by a sting ray getting stung in the heart. Wasn't the heart? Yeah, penetrated his chest like the barb of his tail just went through his body and murdered him. That's crazy. I was shocked to finding right here. He doesn't suspect a thing. He looks surprised. Of course. It is pretty
good. I know. Why does he have so many good voices? Adding that to any Australian person, Crocodile Hunter that goes up there with Ted Copple and Jodie Foster, owner of Crocodile Dundee holds up that was a popular movie. There's no way it holds up. Have you ever seen that JJ? Crocodile Dundee? I saw when I used to go to daycare as a kid, right, I don't remember it? Did you review it for your class? Was that what kind of what got me the love? Yeah? Yeah,
gave you the spark. Can you see tiny, little, tiny, little six year old JJ in our little Australian hat, dressed up like a little Australia. Yeah, that's a night good day mates. Hey well review JJ movie reviews in pre k pre k, that's cute. I wouldn't fit not. I would put good money on that movie not holding up, or the the series of movies holding up, because they didn't just make one, they kept it going. So he came why did he come here? Did
he come here in the movie? Yeah, he came to New York City or something, and then that's why he was a fish out of water. Whatever platform was established for him to deliver just ham fisted Australian cliches. Why do you have to come here? Though? With it basically Asventuro, he was like hired to come here. And the case of the Koala, like what was it? Are you looking at the plot? Oh? Yeah,
I've seen it three or four times, granted not in thirty years. Michael J. Crocodile Dundee, a bushman reported to have lost half a leg to a saltwater crocodile before crawling hundreds of miles to safety. That was his legends. Jesus it says he arrives. I don't know, that's too much to read. It's a long plot and I'm just gonna read something on the air. You got nine minutes. Oh dude, just say that. He uh,
Sue thinks. Sue finds Dundee less legendary than she had been led to believe, unimpressed by his pleasant mannered but uncouth behavior and his clumsy advances torture so he's always macking on her, But she's later amazed when in the outback she sees him subdue a water buffalo with his fingers just because he I think there was a digery do noise in the background, and he did this just like I'm subduing you right now, Daniel. It's working. You can't look
away, I can't come here. Quite possibly the the most useless musical instrument ever, the did the ditch. It makes one note, that median devil. That's beautiful. Do you blow in a digree do? What do you? I don't think so. It's a big old pipe that you blow in and just it's different than that rain stick, you know, the rain stick. Yeah, you turn upside down. That actually has a fun, a lot of fun. It's kind of like the bagpipes of Australia. Yeah,
don't claim that bagpipes aren't versatile pipes are great for funerals and births. You know what, the bagpipes in the hospital. Baby God, here they come Jackass in a skirt with a big old bag with some sticks hanging out of it. Lies it always amazing grace. That's the only one that doesn't name another bagpipe song you've heard. It's just amazing grace. The default bagpipe song here. That's like the outback Australia. What is it? The kangaroo anthem?
The kangaroo song. He also killed a snake with his bare hands, and that are impressed, sue allegedly. I don't care. Get to the plot. Did he come? Why did he come? Why is he here? Do you have to come here? I don't know? Oh my god, Well, yeah, you read nine paragraphs while on the air in the top five market. Jesus Christ JJ. Just redo your whole review for us from when you're on pre K so we know what this is about. Sucked. A New York reporter heads to Australia to interview the living legend, Mike
Dundee. When she finally locates him, she is so taken with him that she brings him back with her to New York. But in New York, Mike Dundee is amazed by the wonders of the city and the interesting people there. So Chick goes she's a reporter. She goes to Australia and this guy's a legend. She interviews him and she has taken with him and says, why don't you come to New York? And he's just overwhelmed by the big city. That's it. That took one second. I didn't know you wrote
Crocodile Dundee plus synopsis. Well, I got stuck in the Wikipedia page for the movie That's always a mistake and fake a lot of times came out nineteen eighty six. Yeah, then they made one in Los Angeles, and then they made Crocodiles and Dundee Zoo. Dude. The budget was about eight point eight million dollars and it made three twenty eight at the box office. This sounds terrible and Paul Hogan does not deserve our attention anymore. I don't know
if that's true at all. How great, and he's still alive. He's eighty four, dude, Kevin, Well, then make another one. Pay your respects him on. Wait, so he was forty two when he made that he's not right in a radio interview. He doesn't know what's going on anymore. Ooh oh uh ooh ooh, Paul Hogan with this rare move. Oh my god, hang on, there's a s ton here. There's a lot more coming out in Discovery. So the girl in Crocodile Dundee Dundee was Linda Kauzlowski, Yes, Sue in the movie. I don't know. I
think she was hot. She was. And again, this movie came out in nineteen eighty six. Right, Yeah, she looked like a smoker. Look at her now, Oh my god, she looks like an actual cigarette now. So Paul Hogan married no Lean Edwards right nineteen fifty eight, divorced in nineteen eighty one. Dang, it's a pretty good run. And then No Lean Edwards, same girl, married her in nineteen eighty two and divorced in nineteen eighty nine. So let's let's try this again. Got divorced and
then within a year married her. Okay, live without your baby, and they got back together, then divorced her in nineteen eighty nine until nineteen ninety when he married Linda Kazlauski, the effrn co star cannot stop that, did you can't stop the intimacy on set? Do what mister miss Smith thought? Lately? I saw some story like, uh, Ben Afflecks got this movie that he's directing. All right, Ben Affleck now married to Jlo of course,
right, Matt Damon's gonna start in this movie. It's gonna be called it's gonna be called Animals, I think. And Jennifer Garner is in talks to play the lead female, to which I say, Ben Affleck's gonna be directing his ex wife Jennifer Garner while married to j Lo. Then Jaylo's gonna be cool with that. No, she's gonna be porking Tom Brady. I'm just saying, watch the next over the next few months, how this unfolds. And then you'll report back to me going, damn, you're right.
I know I heard it somewhere, and you'll forget that you heard it from me because I'm not memorable. But I would have been the one that broke the news to you. I'm so tired of you saying that nobody takes you seriously. Kay, they don't, Well I do, And you also say that you're always right that I am. Maybe if you'd stop saying that, people would take you more seriously. I have to say it. I've tried to. I went all my life not saying it until I said I'm in
give up mode. I'm gonna start saying it, and finally at some point we'll get this realization. Who will the world is gonna the world? The world? Yes, the world? Who else are we doing anything for our dogs? Heavy birthday? Geraldine? Oh yeah, my dog's five today? Did you get it a cat? Did I get my dog a cat for her birthday? As? Yeah, you should get Geraldine a cat today, a little helpless cat. Geraldine could hunt it and feel like a real winter
today. I'll leave her to the neighborhood's neighborhood squirrels hours of chaos. Cats aren't afraid of dogs, no, and I think casking whoop dogs is ass rip their eyes out. They're always ready to go every time we walk, like what the get a lot of rando? I guess outdoor cats in our neighborhood and they'll just sit right on the in the middle of their front yard.
Merror, good God, mere feet away from g money. While we're walking, Geralden goes bananas pulling at the leash and Jesus Christ, the cat's just unphased. Nothing affects the cat, and if the cat wants to do anything at all, the cat's just going to really arch hits back like they do. I don't know if that lets you know that they're bigger than they are. I bet that's what the back arch. Now, don't make me,
but that's what they're doing. I don't have a good spine, thuk rats and can I sneak into things because they don't have much of a spine. Cats are kind of kind of cool man, to be honest. I don't want one or anything, but they know what they're doing. Somebody posted I agree with this. If house cats weighed forty pounds, they would kill you. They would They would kill you while you sleep, have declawed and eat your neck. Yeah, off of me, cuddles, cuddles, they're
just confidable. Hair balls on you to cats are pretty gross. Well today, go ahead, I'm sorry, it's not worth it. Neither is this be he should bring a cat back from Italy and smuggle him and oh yeah, forget it too weird. Today is the day that we not only celebrate the lives of all of our former presidents, and I guess our current went sure. Today is also a day where we need to take Kevo seriously. It's what he wants. It's what he wants. I just want some acknowledgment
that I'm awesome. Okay, you're awesome, dude. You shouldn't have to beg people to think that and remind them all the time. That's not really how it works. You shouldn't. You're right. Those people should know. I'll make love to you. So it's our fault. Let's make a deal, Kevio. I'll take you more seriously, or just take you seriously period, which I think I already do, if you'll stop telling people that you're always right, because that's impossible to always be right. If you were always
right, you'd be not sitting in that chair. Not even our presidents are always right, and they're the smartest and best people that we have. I mean, my god, they gave them a holiday. Yeah, working on. Don't miss Kevin's presidential explosion at eight. Okay, okay, buckle up. And you know Mike knows a lot of good trivia general trivia knowledge. Danny, You're a history nerd, so think you guys will know some of
these things. But I don't think you'll know all of these things, because it's pretty well come to Dexo. A new poll just came out, ranking all of our presidents. A bunch of historians got together and power ranked the presidents we'll discuss next to ninety seven won the freak maybe
