Transcript

November one. One game to go, Game five tonight in Arizota because they did business last night, had a week with a downbeat. I hope you're doing accellent this Wednesday morning. Could be a long day, a lot of anticipation, could be a long celebration into the night, or not. We'll try to get Friday. We got a lot of stuff for you on today's show. Putting at nine o'clock. So Ghost of Pepper Pavilion. Predictions for tonight's Game five, possibly Clinch Night, anything goes on Clinch Night. Kevin

Turner with Danny Baylist, Mike's Roy, J J. Jackson Rock. Yeah, he was feeling morning, Kevin, just feeling feeling awake. Wakey, wakey, Danny, hands off snaky. Snake's alive, Kevin, your hands on your snaky, Danny right now? No, you can see both of them. I couldn't. A couple of seconds ago, I couldn't see him. Okay, maybe that's why I asked, they're on your snaky maybe before you asked, but no, at the time that you asked, they were not on snaky. I can see him now, I see you see six

hands in here, but you can't see Kevin's hands. Well that yeah, his were two of the six. Yes you're are you having trouble with math now? I'm tired as f bro. Oh yeah, yes, God these games man to do it again tonight. It's not till midnight. Did they clip tonight? We're gonna watch all the celebrations stuff. We need to cut this out, right, I said, if you said it, he said it. He said, it might be a long party, end of the night. Mike. Yeah, Mike, you need to get your heads right.

Recuses you from any Mike the possibility. I'm not making any bold claims at all. This thing is far from over. I think we shan't. Mike is in the farm of safe words. You are standing in the battlefield swore drawn, and yes you may slightly outnumber them, but that don't mean nothing. The battle rages on. Oh it rages. Especially in this series. Unexpected seems to happen consistently. Expect the unexpected, just like on CBS's Big Brother. Really that's still on tagline? Yeah, and it's great,

and yes it's their tagline. Sorry to yell at you, Kevin, I'm at the yell at Danny there. You don't watch a big brother, I don't watch it, but I respect it. You respect it? Yeah, I mean I don't think you know, Mike is a guy of good taste. I don't think he would sit around and watch it if it was trash TV. He's not one hundred that. You're both very right right there. Ye, look, I hope it's great. It's a great summer show I enjoyed every year. And they are at war, they're down I think five.

Do you know what the layman's perspective of that show is? Yeah, because that's why they're called layman. The people that haven't watched it just see the whatever the promos. Sure, it's just like here's some cameras in rooms watching people argue. Yeah, I get that. You don't get it. Yeah, I don't get it because I've never seen it. That's another great reason that you don't get it. Yes, I understand. I understand the reasons why you don't understand why it's great. You haven't never watched it.

Right. The point is is the way it's presented to people like me, why would I want to watch that? Do you think they could do a better job of promoting it so we could see what the genius is that you discover every time you turn it on. I mean, it's a popular show that's made it twenty plus years and been an absolute summer staple for one of the biggest networks. So I mean, I think they're doing okay without you.

I understand that the masked singer is in It's What Nights season now two, and so what I'm saying is there's no accounting for taste in the world. But I do trust you. I think that you have a good, good discernment when it comes to things like this. I'm not trying to get in a have a round with you, No, I'm asking you, what what is so great about this that is going to make me watch it? Beyond the promos that they put out, which I said looks like just a

bunch of people arguing on fuzzy cameras. Yeah, maybe you shouldn't. I don't know. I mean, I don't think Big Brother aspires to crack into the lists of sopranos and breaking bad on greatest television shows of all time. But you know, it's been around for a long long time. I'll say this, it's this might give it a little bit of something for you, is that it's all from. I think it started in Sweden, but this

is European style television, like they figured this out. It's super popular in your homeland of Great Britain, but I think it's Swedish is where it came from. Something like that. Do they have mommies they could get him in. Okay, mommies, they do have mommies. Okay, there you go. See that's what's for you there. There usually are hot girls prancing around the house, and then if you have showtime, you can watch it for twenty four hours. That's true. You can see her get up in the

middle of the night to go we WI. Okay, they have live feeds, so I do have paramount plus so I mean I watched the show thrice per week. But yes, if you want, right when the show ends, you can go to the live feeds and just watch the house. You have it on as you sleep every night. Huh Yeah. In case you miss Bo just ended up sneaking into Samantha's room and and then lying about it. You call him lying about it to Chad? How long is it gonna go? I assume I'm asking. I know, I'm waiting for waiting for

you to finish. Is there more. Well, was like, is that something that would happen in the middle of the night, Yeah, that both sneaks into Samantha's room and then the next day, No, Chad, bro I didn't. I totally didn't. Well guess what, Bo, there's four hundred cameras in this house. Yeah, yes, yeah, I know you did. Absolutely that could happen. That could sleep and that's Samantha. No. But see, I think you two are hung up on like Bo and

Samantha kissing and Chad getting mad about it. That's not it. Like there's a small component and that's hot people making out with each other. But that's I don't like. I give a damn about that. I don't care. It's not the hookup show at all. See, I thought this his human chess. I always thought this is twenty people thrown in a room, none of you know each other. You need to start finding friends, and then you play these silly competitions, but they're kind of hard and like accuracy bas

just like you throw in your bottle into that trash can every morning. If that determined your safety tonight, you'd be a lot more interested in it. And then if you're not safe, I need to say, God, I hope Kevin and I have created a little bit of a friendship here because I think Danny wants me out of here. And then hey, Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, listen, Danny's not here right now. He doesn't like me.

Well, you convinced Danny that I'm cool, and just have him keep me around tonight please, And then guess what if he says yes and he doesn't kick me out tonight tomorrow, we are kicking Danny's ass out of here. And there's it's infinite, like the interactions of I think it starts with sixteen people that can form relationships stab each other in the back at the very last second. When you're sitting in a chair thinking I am your best friend.

I sometimes can stand up in front of the room says I have the sole decision to decide who's leaving today, and I picked Danny, and you lock eyes with me and go what Why would anybody be surprised by its last man standing? Correct? Yeah, okay, so there's never a woman, never a true alliance. Yeah, there are that hold how would they hold? Because you're ultimately going to have to screw somebody over well, and the person that you've that you somehow teamed up with and think that you can trust

them. You never can. Right, Well, you are starting to get it, yes, because that's really damn intriguing. You and I could work together for the whole time. There's a twosome of guys. I don't want to say names because some people might be way behind. Let's just say Bow and Fine. Let's say Bow and Chad. Let's say Danny and Mikey. We met, we became friends early. We're similar, Like, dude, I lived in Texas for four years. I love the Rangers, you know,

I'm for real like you like muse it cool? I like, oh, we have some similar bands that we're like, Oh us all radio ahead, dude, That's where it was incredible. Yeah, and you're like, Dude, this guy's cool. I like this guy. And we become friends, legitimate friends. But then as we get down to maybe five people left, I start thinking Jesus. At the very end, when there's two people sitting there and the jury is voting between us, who wins, I'm like,

dude, everybody loves Danny. The girls think Danny's hot, Danny's hilarious. They're all going to vote for Danny, I am far better served sitting next to Kat who's annoyed people and dressed up and made a makeshift Mario outfit out of tape and boxes from the kitchen because he couldn't bring one in here.

Yeah. So I'm like, if I can right now get rid of Danny and sit next to Kevin, all those people in the jury, including Danny, will probably look at me and say, yes, he stabbed me in the back, but I still have to vote for that dude to win. M hm. So yeah, and I did even come back and bite you on the ass because the people in the audience might have a lot of respect for a guy that can make a damn Mario costume out of tape and

boxes. That'll probably get him a couple of bothes. And then you're asking, did this guy really go to that radiohead tour after all? Or was he lying to make that exactly right? Maybe the guys kind of liked radio ed he never went to. Okay, now, where do you understand now that the way that they promote this show is garbage? How else do they promote it? How else you spent what two minutes? We can consolidate that into a thirty second promo the way you just explained it to me, and

I'm interested. Okay, I think you so blame it on the network. Well, I think it's the bad network. CBS is a bad and amazing Race. The only other two shows that have worked on what survivor wants Survivors in Survivors More Adult, Big Brother a little bit More, I Survivors a child. Survivor's incredible right now? Great? Every season? Great, wow fifty or something, Yes, ridiculous, It's excellent. And what's not to

like about amazing race? I've never seen that. I seen it. I mean, teams are two that race around planet Earth and you open up a thing. You're like, oh my god, I have to go to Romania and get on a flight and then do some weird Romanian challenge and do it faster than the other teams while you argue and run out of steam and a race to a finish line. It's beautiful. Did you ever find out who

is the Mole? I watched The Mall and Celebrity Ball too. Look, the problem is the stigma of reality shows, which most of them are terrible. I've never seen one second of the Kardashian show I have no idea bachelor. I've never seen any people love it, and I'm sure someone who loves a batchler could explain to you that it's good. I don't know, but any romance based anything I could care less. I could not care less. Correct, excuse me, you're fine, but this is human chess and it's

very, very fun. Do you have to start it season one? No, you shouldn't. I recently watched the season one episode one of Survivor just wanted to see it, and you shouldn't go back that they weren't a lot of ending techniques, yes, editing and how to speed things up and make it make it cool. Is Jeff Probes still involved, of course with Survivor? Yes, dude, of course he was on the boat with Derek and Cubes and celebrity chef Bobby Flay. That's right. I feel like we're always

real close to making fun of this. That's what I was doing, big brother both Oh no, oh no, he is yeahs open minded. That's why I would like to form an alliance with you, and guess what we're gonna do. Get rid of the idiot with the box and the table over his face, first chance, we get he noticed that he winked at me when he said that I trust no one. I never have, never will. Yeah, you start trusting people, well you get stabbed. Oh my

god. Kind of like the Arizona Diamondbacks tried to trust their bullpen last night. The downbeat as if I was just absolutely crushed. Yeah, but and then what ten nothing game. I didn't see the clerk getting into that game last night, but whatever. I don't think the clerk did too. Who is it that says that when the clerk's on the mound he looks like he's seeing Planet Earth for the first time. Yeah, it's so funny and so I true. He just kind of where am I again? Like he looks

at upward people in the upper deck, He's looking around. I'm always like focus, seriously, it's two and oh again, focus, look it up. Stop wondering if using the stand up to cancer placards to make airplanes. Don't worry about that right now, dude, Zone in man Uh in twenty minutes. A secret weapon that the Rangers have added to their team despite injuries, losing Good Dolies and Max Scherzer. The big story yesterday we found out

a secret food they've it's helped take them over the top. Right at six point thirty five. Give you the details at tease. I don't know, crushing it. Eight to fifteen today, lock in, and I would say eight ten eight ten today lock in for downbeat duel. Oh yeah, we got one. We got a showdown. Everyone's uh teeth are probably rotting a little bit. A lot of candy, unavoidable candy. Honestly, you can do your best, but that candy's gonna find you somehow. Not even a

big candy really big sweets guy, but just bowls of candy everywhere. Did you buy candy? Do you have it in your house? Yes, you had Tricker treats. I lost some candy yesterday after I went to the doctor because my doctor my doctor's office is attached to a Walgreens or like next door to old Walgreens really or CVS. You're it's attached, Well, no, but it's like right next door. And I do feel like there is a passageway, but you don't know where it is. I actually don't know.

Yeah, why did you go there after your appointment? Did he prescribe candy? Well? She uh no, I because it was I had to get Halloween candy for the house to hand out to the munchkins, because the downbeat, singing pumpkin doesn't have hands. And that is the big loophole that we messed up on. Next year, for just merely another twelve thousand dollars, we could have one extended hand. One. We don't need two hands.

Just it just grab and then you don't have to do anything nothing. You just like, you know, you can open up the blinds if you want and just kind of wave with people. Yeah, you can go to understand if you want with hands, with your own. The possibilities are endless with hands. I did it at one point see a kid verifying like the pumpkin was like checking his grades. I did see that. It was nuts, did you guys goo trigger treating last night? Danny? I did, Mike,

No, No, I did not. No. Handing out ports, light was off. Not one thing to participate in Halloween I did yesterday. But I like Danny. He said us the cutest damn pick of five nine Jesus, that kid unbelievable, I will say. Little Malki was not excited about putting on his fireman costume. No, he did not want to. Mom had to pretty much force it on him, screaming, and then once he had it on, everything was great. He could not wait. They have a mirror. Did he show it to him in the mirror? I

did do? Yeah, Yeah, finally. Yeah. And he loves fireman. I mean, he wants to go to the fire station. If I if I took him to the fire station every day and looked at the trucks and looked at the little fire baby out front, he'd be the happiest kid on the planet. Because there's a fire department like a mile from my house and times, oh a bunch. Our fire station is super cool with bringing

a kid there. They've come out before. We don't like to try to knock on the door, be too intrusive, I guess, but they have. They'll not acknowledge a wave and honk their horn for him and stuff like that. But I think you actually have to plan ahead to book like a visit. Yeah. I don't want to do that. Yeah, when he gets a little bit older, but yeah, he was a fireman last night.

Looked at doorbs and dude, that was so. He's two and a half and this was his first year to really kind of get it and once the seal was broken, and he realized that by simply knocking on the door, now he had his There's like three things you want to say, trick or treat, thank you, happy Halloween, you know, some type of greeting, and then appreciation and a salutation. He kind of got those out

of order, so he would knock on the door. But once he realized you knock on the door or somebody answers it, you say something, and they put freaking candy in your bag, and this just endlessly happens as long as you have the energy to do it, or until the lights go out. He he was like, this is great. So you watched him understand what the night was about finally, and by the time halfway through the night,

it was marching straight to the door. And granted, he'd get the order wrong and people would answer the door and he'd look at him and go, thank you. You're like we had three okay, and then you get trick or treed and then happy Halloween. But he was so engaging, like he would ask them questions like what color is your puppy? He's black and

white. That's very good. Yeah, Like he was kind of lingering, and there's a que developing behind him of kids that were like, wrap that up, fire man, seriously, So he totally bought in, man, and he had so much candy and was so happy. It was great. What was of the candy? Was there anything that shocked you? No, man, it was okay. Here's the thing that I thought was really funny and really cute is most people would just hold the bowl out for him.

So we went to his mom lives in little Forest Hills. That neighborhood is badass for trick or treaty because all the houses are super close together, narrow streets, and everybody buys in. A lot of mommies with tumblers, Yeah, lots of tumblers and toddler mommy, so they all buy in. So it's kind of an event on some of those streets over there, and uh uh oh say they would hold the bowl out for him to make your selection. It was so cute because he would only take one piece. Oh a

sweetheart, are you sure you don't want any more? You can have another one? And you look at him like, are you sure it's okay? And then he would, you know, sheepishly take another one, like he was doing something to meet bad or something. Yeah. Then he got rantsom meat from bad But I guess the highlight of the night was one lady was giving away full size everything. I'm talking big butterfinger, big snickers, the two big pack of peanut butt cups. Yeah, full size m and ms.

Wow. Yeah, And he even noticed it. He reached into the bag and got peanut m and ms and he goes, whoa big ones. But he was a hit man. It was so much fun. And that is really cute to him figuring it out. You watch it. He gets it now, he's cruising, yes, and he realizes, like, I got about an hour before I want to go to sleep, Yeah, to maximize my time. He learned a lot last night. I think he was probably a ferret last night after snacking on candy. So how much did he

get? Like is it? Did he have an orange Jack o' lantern bucket? No, he had like a reusable natural grocer shopping bag. Yeah, something like that. I mean, it wasn't like overflowing, you know, because we were kind of done after ninety minutes, and it's a lot of walking and a lot of seeing the other kids and all that stuff and other parents. So it was cool. But yeah, he didn't. You know, he probably visited i'd say fifteen twenty houses now you know, twenty five

pieces. He did well. He was really proud of him. Was there a vaping cow walking behind him at all all points of the night. Pretty much? Pretty much. But the thing that's funny, since he was a fireman, everybody thought I was a Dalmatian. I'm a freaking cow. Look at the spotting, confused, Look at the look at the pattern here the utters, Yeah, have a cow tail as weird. Did he get home and dump the bag? Yeah, pretty much and lay atop the candy and

do candy angels? Angel I had these. So last year my neighborhood was my first year at the House of Richardson, and it was pretty lit with parents and kids, like younger kids. And as a gut towards nighttime, you're basically asking the question, is that a sixteen year old? You know, like it starts getting into like teenager territory. It almost becomes a little horrifying type of thing. Was there anything more horrifying than a group of four

teenagers just walking? I mean, they're up to something. Last night, same routine I went and I blowed it up on candy for the bowl to hand out, and I got a extension cord, put my little TV out there, poured the wine and we did not have a big turnout, and I was highly disappointed that I set out in the cold. So you sat out outside dressed as Cavio lights on? Did you have lights on? We got a whole thing on the garage where spiders are crawling on it. I

mean, you're welcome, you're playing ball, you're opening business. We got a little skeleton hands popping up out of the ground. You know, girls love Halloween. They and they also have murder mysteries everyone. I guess there's ladies crime. They love dark stuff. Honestly, you know, they spend all their time having to be nice and be proper, and ladies they have fear the dark side. You just have a dark side. But I did have one good moment, and it was this group they're they're kind of staying

together. It felt like three or four houses probably couldn't stand together. But two parents were really kind of running the show there. And there were younger parents, probably younger than me. Okay, and the guy comes up and he's holding the kid and the girl. It's kind of coming up and they're they're like, they're, oh, you guys haven't figured out. They're drinking wine and stuff, and you could see the look in their eyes of like, oh my god, I wish I didn't have any kids. You could

see it. I mean, you just knew it. And they're like trying to get her name and stuff. We've lived here for a year, I can I mean, you gotta hang out or are we becoming friends? Yeah, that's going on, but I trust no one learned that I did see only don't trust anybody. They were on our trick or treating route last night.

There was some families that were doing it right. These two girls, they were probably like in their twenties and uh, they were sitting out on their front porch and they had their big screen that they had moved out, and they had the Ranger game on that because we were done by like seven ten, so it had just started, so the pregame and all that, and they're in the Ranger gear watching baseball, like ready for the game,

handing out candy and the best mood. Twenty years old. Yeah. Yeah, I think they might have been roommates or daughters that were, you know, in town or whatever. But there was several people that were rangered out gear and had their TVs on their their their patios and do in the whole tumblr. They wanted to be us. They wanted to be us. It

was so evident. Yeah, I mean as you would be when you have seven kids that were keeping up with probably felt like they were a couple other parents who stayed on the driveway didn't come up all the way to the porch. But yeah, I got a bunch of candy loever, I should have brought it up here. Yeah, bring it up here. I want it. It'll last fifteen seconds in the break round. Yeah, I just want Reese's peanut buttercups. That's it. Like pumpkins, only one I wanted like

pumpkins. No, no, regular, that's a whole other story. Is a Roxy dressed up? It's just shark. Oh, come on, no photos. Don't want to see shake up photo. I love shark Roxy shark. I don't. Yeah, I didn't take photos. Well I'm not. I don't never think to think you didn't take one photo of her. I'm a big like live in the moment, you know where that photos in my mind? Now? Yeah, well I'm not in your mind, and I want to see what your girlfriend looks like. Dress is a damn shark.

Yeah did you? Did you welcome the kids as Cavio and they walked up? Oh my god, we already knew, dude, these kids love Mario. It's amazing. Hey, walk up. I mean some of them not even old, like, couldn't have had any video game experience. It just oh you're Mario, you know. Yeah, I'm like, I have Gevio. Yes, do you have a mustache on? I didn't put the mustache on the mustache because what happens when we take a drink after you've taken the

mustache off. It sticks, the glass sticks to your upper lip. Sucks, man, it hurts. How much wine did you put away? Last lot? Yeah? Bottle? Now a full bottle? Oh yeah, by one? Oh yeah, I got champagne for a night in case. Why dude, this guy is case. It's needed. No, you bought it for tonight. There's gotta be no worse feeling than walking back into your clubhouse and having to take down all the plastic wrap. It's happened before we get up and go back to Texas. We shouldn't even talk about it. We

shouldn't you idiots we should actions? Oh yeah, please Jominia taur something. First half of the show chock full of that special mic siroy extra juice after our segments to get ready for a lot of this is what we get tuned in for. You're in luck today.
