Transcript

All right, let's go, let's go out fatty today. We got a big one. Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd calls in at nine snl legend Chris Catan calls in at nine ten. Two guys who like the same cereal eight thirty five of circuses come in to town. I mean, one of the bigger nut jobs you'll ever see, moving home base and trying to start an empire here in the Metroplex. More detail about at eight thirty eight o'clock. Crazy night at the AAC last night the MAV's avoid a catastrophical loss.

They had an a lister in the building. What a night walking through the details of that they did. Oh yeah, and I wouldn't really refer to you as a list talk about me. Who's there? Then? Look lucas a listen now all right, yeah, I mean he works there. I have a Kyrie Irving take coming for you here in a second two seven thirty thing. Good morning news and which I'm going to give Dandy the gift of five hundred miles a gas card for five hundred miles for your commitment to reporting

on the stories in the sky and keep our roads safe. Every day I wake up. You know, we have a shared Google doc that we kind of throw ideas and links and stories on to help us do our prep. Every day, there's like two or three brand new airplane stories courtesy of one Katie Turner put more stuff on you. It's not your I'm not algorithm. Yeah, I'm not even looking for him anymore. They just show up. I'm just gonna google airplanes and hit news. Yeah. Watch, it'll be

that Amelia Earhart. Okay, that's a big story too, that one which we covered yesterday. We had I think we broke that story yesterday. I don't know that we broke it. You found it on the internet. It had broken yesterday morning Live during our show Ten Things you Should Never Eat on an airplane. Guy's great, gon't play that real quick, I do all right, fire, Oh this is fresh. But they just change the dates on these crappy articles and make them like within the last week. They're just

now. I'm like, oh yeah, they do just just all you have to do. Yeah, maybe make some sort of little correction. Yeah, change a word, get a third and then, oh dude, this is January twenty ninth, twenty twenty four. Yesterday is it good. And if you're in that business of just pumping out candy articles for clicks, then yeah, if it worked, run back. What is a dog gass article? First thing on the list? No alcohol? Okay, what side is that? Because now we got to trick your sources. He I told you I

was just going to google airplane, didn't I? Quick news? They all's hot again? They say, are they back in the mix? Yeah? Boy, they had a great run. And then alcohol dehydrate on the ground and it's amplified in a low humidity plane. Plus high altitude affects your does it on your blood? Oxygen can make you feel tipsy faster than usual? Is that true? Yeah? An airplane, you get the credit for the alcohol, but it's not thin air. You're not breathing thin air pressurized.

Yeah, but it's still the altitude does affect your the level and the way it feels. That's why people get so tanked on a plane. They try to drink like they normally do on Earth. Really, yeah, they stand up and try to walk to the getting a little tanked on a plane. Boy, I've done it a few times and I end up just sleeping. Have you ever done the thing and this. There's a similar effect that happens

in a hot tub. Have you ever been in a hot tub and maybe have like two or three drinks and you feel pretty okay, and then you get up to maybe go wi, and it's like, whoa, your legs are all rubbery and you're half in the bag already. But that's also the hot tub itself making your legs rubbery. Yeah, but the alcohol, I don't know what it is. Maybe it speeds up the effects of it.

You know, because of the temperature where's your blood and your heart rate increases, I guess, whereas if it's cold, it slows down in a hot tub. No, I haven't been in a hot trub in ages. I feel like you see many hot tubs, hot tubs that they come in and out here, you know, I don't know. Hot tubs are kind of like the aquatic bowflex. You know, you get it, you use it like three times in a row, and then it sits there for seven years, and you put the lid on it and it just comes giant outdoor table

where the bowflex becomes glorified coat rack. Yeah, forget it, glad. I have two hot up stories, neither of which I care to tell some list. The list of this list, fish seafood is number two on the quick aol search. Can I fish on a plane and microwave that? You know, tuna, salad, sandwich beans? I would put that in the fish department. But yeah, all stinky foods are out. Durian deviled eggs

that who would have that? Man? There is always that one person that brings like their homemade snacks and they open up the tupperware lid to reveal the contents, and boy, if it's deviled eggs, I'm asking for a seat change. I might ask for a seat change. Do you need to make a poo poopy? Leans over and ask the adult next to him because you're about to number three. Tap water. Don't drink tap water on an airplane. Oh, because the tanks that hold the water are rarely cleaned. Bottled

water course, that's pretty much denoted in the little lavatory. But it's notable. It's all a bottle they serve you. No, no, no, I think the tapwater they're talking about in the in the the restroom. I don't drink tap water, high sodium food whatever. Steak. You have an option of steak for your inflight meal, It's better to choose something else. Steak will almost always be overcooked because it has to be pre cooked and reheated on the plane. All right, So unless you love tough, chewy gray

beef, go for chicken air pasta. You're stuck with snacks. And I've never done the international flat I guess, so I don't really know if they give you do you want to do? You want to travel the world? Kevin? Uh, I'm gonna ken but I am in April. So oh that's for going to Italy, going to the homeland. Yeah, you're going to see your familia. You could get canceled, I guess. But well, I think war, don't worry worrying. I'm just being realistic about war.

You think Italy is going to be involved in a war? Oh? Yes, they are real riled up. I was talking about I was talking to my uncle about this the other day. Don't drink coffee, same thing made with tap water. Giant burritos, but small burritos are fine. Okay, there you go. Chipotle in the airport may seem like compact. These deep food blah blah blah. Spice sauce of hot sauce can cause heartburn. Onions can be smelly, and worst of all, beans can cause very potent

gas beans. What do you see the taco bell or I mean, I'll lump in? You see the places in the airport that you know could make your tongue to I'm hurt. You're like, why would that ever be an option in the airport. It's always weird too when you have like an early ass flight and some of those businesses that typically open for lunch at eleven or open at like six am, and you see somebody just feasting on a muchako before they get on a plane, like what are you doing? And a

whine. The airports are weird because there's like it is at all hours. I love it. I love it, yeah, and I absolutely do it. It's very Vegas. There's no Yeah, it is kind of Vegas. There's no meal rules. It's gonna be like here, it's back that here. If we get a casino, we're gonna have that here twenty four hours. Let's just kick that is there. If we do get the casino, we'll still have the Texas laws on alcohol consumption? Will we I don't know

that's what we shouldn't there? Why is it you know. I mean, you're not acting, you're not entering the Nevada embassy when you walk into the Texagon. Yeah, but okay, So, like I don't know this, but I'm sure Las Vegas has laws against buying, selling, bars being open alcohol after a certain time. But maybe casinos have a special exemption for that

since there's somewhat of a self contained thing. I don't know, And maybe the Oklahoma casinos can get away with it because aren't they on reservations for the most part. Well, I don't know. Well, I just know as far as the reservations that I live by in Arizona, there was no alcohol

on them. No time restrictions for selling or buying alcohol in Nevada. That's a huge thing is you can't even I don't even think you can drive through the Navajo Reservation in northeast Arizona with like a beers in your trunk, Like if you get pulled over, you'll get in trouble for that. Like there's no alcohol out on that reservation at least, no bought and sold seven days a week, twenty four hours a day, including Sunday in the entire state.

Well, bars, though, can they serve after two am or four am it hookers. State law implements no mandatory closing times for bars, taverns, or saloon. Okay, so that's just straight up state law. Now there are some speaking of hookers. I think there's something that like in Las Vegas, the city, I don't know, this may have changed. I don't think hookers are legal in the city of Las Vegas. Like I'm a

strip. Yeah, I don't think it's technically legal. That's why the chicken ranches right where it is, right where the Clark County turns into whatever. But obviously it's still rampant. It's probably because you know, like in New Orleans, there is a an open container law and effect like you're not legally I don't think this is true. I think this is true, legally able to drink freely on the streets by law, but the cops do not enforce

it. Really, I think the prostitution and as long as you're just not brazen about it and acting a fool. You know, this is you're just kind of drinking public, but not from a glass or a bottle put it in. That's not like Savannah George. You know, I knew that there's certain elements of of you know the quarter in New Orleans that there there's some type of thing that the cops just kind of like, unless you're acting like an idiot, they just look the other way. They don't really want for

stuff that is sort of the I mean, that's the rule here. I think I mean cash lives walk Cash and Mary we walked to the a c We wear a roady every time we walk past multiple cops who are doing the street traffic for pedestrians. Never once is anyone said a word, including right up to the line where you pound it and put in the trash can that's right next to the where they zap your ticket. Are you is it in

a container that revealed the contents. But if you're like dude, if you're walking out with a Keystone light tall boy with that and you're not brown bagging it, they're gonna they're gonna make you pour it out or toss it or or something. Yeah, this is you've got to go. Cup, You're you're you're fine. Is going to buy and not acting like a yeah jackcat.

This says, this is hard. In a standard hours area dum, a person may not consume or possess with intent to consume an alcohol beverage in a public place Monday through Friday before seven am or after twelve fifteen am. So from seven to one am to twelve fourteen am all day, you can, I think, which I always thought you couldn't. This is news to

me in Dallas, Texas. You're you're looking up Texas at Dallas. What I'm seeing on one side, there's no statewide band prohibiting public conception of alcohol. Oh sure, at a state park or an area of the city where it has been specifically deemed illegal. But I tell you what, that is news to me, dude, because I always thought it was just the opposite. You get in trouble for walking with your drinks unless it's Saint Patrick's Day

parade or whatever special event type things. That's kind of interesting. I wonder what Irving is, just in case they drop a casino and Irving, then I'll have to find where's Irving. You should learn so and figured it out. Just drop a pin on your phone and save it. Speaking of Vegas, you mentioned it yesterday, but I was reading about the prices of Super Bowl tickets. Nuts. Huh, absolutely nuts. Right now as of this morning, get in price eighty one hundred dollars for the party pass. That's

like, no, I don't even think they have that. That's just way up nosebleeds. That's fifty percent more expensive than the cheapest ticket of last year's Super Bowl, which was just short of six thousand dollars, and the average price is hovering rate at ten thousand dollars, seventy percent more expense than lest Ye's Big Game. So I got to thinking, why is this? And look, I think we're in the window of panic buying for the teams that

just got in and inflated prices. I expect these to regulate quite a bit, but probably not I get down to the numbers that it was last year. Is this the Vegas factor? Because if you're a lifelong Chiefs fan, do you spend the better part of the last decade with the option to go to the Super Bowl. It's not that explosive once in a lifetime, Oh my god, we're there, like it would have been for the Lions or a handful of other teams. But then, so is it Vegas very possible?

I think it's that you think. I think I think that's what makes the most sense. First super Bowl there in Vegas. Yeah, idea of blowing it out and it's gonna be a big trip. I'm spending money. Anyways, I'm assuming both of you guys in your careers have covered the Super Bowl, gone to media week and all that. Yeah, okay, but have you actually ever attended the actual game? I have, have you, dude? I went to the one in uh right after nine to eleven in

San Diego. It was the Bucks Raiders Super Bowl where John Gruden won a Super Bowl? Am I to believe that Shania Twain no doubt? And Sting was the halftime show. It's a great question. I have zero recollection of the halftime show. But what's funny is my brother was in the media and he got credentials and he couldn't go. So I went to San Diego and they had to get his idea. He mailed me his ID and this says the first I think the first up Bowl post nine to eleven. So security

was you couldn't even drive to the stadium. You had to take the train to Qualcom like. There was a lot of security measures. It's a lot. And I rolled up with my brother's ID, just like I did going to buy a six pack of Red Dogs in Sarasota, Florida, twenty five years ago, and no problems whatsoever. They just handed it over. But I didn't also didn't know where to go, so I just went to the

regular entrance where all the fans were walking in. I don't know about no media entrance or anything like that, and I just kind of showed my credential. And luckily the girl who was working security was as much as a novice as I was, and she's like, oh, go ahead, like she was intimidated by the power of the media pass. Lucky for you, it said his name Richard Siroy and not like on Super Bad where it said Muhammad,

right, exactly the most common in the world. So my question was, did you find like the people in attendance because it is so highly priced. I think the true fans of the teams they don't go, so to me, it's more like just a big corporate event of people that want to say they went to a Super Bowl. Or did you find it to be like it's not split down the middle. It's going to be, you know, forty nine ers fans on one side, and it's probably just a bunch

of day trippers, doesn't look like Texas ou split down the middle. Yeah, it's just Chris. Chris is the But there are a lot of fans. I mean, it was most of the people there I think were fans of one of the other. There were fans of people that just kind of picked a team when they go that they don't really care about the NFL. They're just there because they think they were got in. I think they were real fans. Especially it was the Raiders, and this is in San Diego.

Yeah, pretty close. You know, Bucks fans there weren't as many, but there was a lot of decked out Raider fans. This is kind of in the middle for Casey and San Francisco fans too, kind of centrally located for them to get there, if you think about it that way. Yeah, if we're not to expect a much of rob low NFL hats almost warn my warm mind to day. But let me ask you this. If the lowest price is eighty one hundred bucks, average price ninety eight hundred ten

gees. And like we said, these teams have been there regularly, in the case of the Chiefs, you know, fairly regularly or near it. For the forty nine ers, what if what if the Cowboys had made it, Oh my god, in Vegas, in Vegas, the place would have been packed ten twelve thousand, especially the way the yeah, twelve thousand, fifteen thousand. I don't know sure people would have paid it from here enough ord nationwide. I mean, there are a tonic Cowboys fans and they have

not been forever. We've all, you've all been waiting your whole lives for this. It's the one time Cowboys. Because I promise you, if the fins are there, I'm gonna be there. I don't know how, but I will be there. What the hell else am I waiting for? In all of sports? That's the one thing. And for a lot of people here, that's the Cowboys going to the super Bowl, So you have to be there. Had Miami made it, would you have somehow found a way

to scrounge up ninety eight hundred dollars to get in that damn Bill. Let me admit something to you right now, Okay, Kevin, I'm going to admit this to you as well. We have friends of ours that are friends of yours. We have a friend named Dave Lane who just had a kid, and I'm friends with Dave. I went to his wedding. We hang out every few months, we go out with him and his wife, Marissa.

But when they did just have a kid, I was like, I sent a couple of extra nice notes because Marissa is Marissa Stabler whose dad is a Raider legend, and I figured if they just had a newborn, there's no chance they could go to the super Bowl, and by chance of the Dolphins make it to the super Bowl, I can then double back and say, hey, you got them, you got them, super Bowl test this snake. Stay have the hook up, dude. The official Raiders account welcomed

uh the newest Stabler to the world, like kid. Yes, that's how. That's how I found out that Dave Laye and Mersa had a kid. Was from the Raiders Twitter account. That's hilarious because I think is so dumb. Yeah, he sounds like you guys are real close. Yeah no, And I texted me and he's like, man, we haven't really told anyone.

It's weird. A lot of people found out from the Raiders. Okay, suspend that, but yes, it did cross my mind that I may have to ask Mersa, who's very sweet and I'm very good friends with if there's any way they have a hookup for Super Bowl tickets because the Fins are in. But if you didn't, and you didn't have that connection, would you somehow come up with I don't grand dude, to go see the Dolphins

maybe win a Super Bowl? Come on, duperus shake that tiny d just inflated hotel prices on Super Bowl week in Vain, I guess, or anyway, I like to think that I would finagle something. I'm not asking. I know I'm not. I'm telling you, I'm not really considered paying ten thousand dollars for one ticket. So no, I don't. I can't do that. You wouldn't, but I would find a way or he would get them the karma payment plan the house. No, I'm considering that right now

for the first time, I would be there. I'll tell you that do good deeds and you'll get paid. That's you know, and that's partially true. When do those start the good deeds from me? The selfless actions? Look, if they were hosting the Super Bowl at the Twilight Lounge and deep Elm, I would have started doing good deeds for you already to plan ahead for this. Yeah, Danny, you are a self serving glutton, just

like the rest of us. Actually, and most certainly not. I'm nice to everyone, so that's why good things happened to me when I need them to happen. Do you want to do a good deed right now Genny giveaways Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie tickets, Yes, we want to.
