What is it either mango or raspberry. Yeah, I'll choose raspberry if given the choice. I love mango. Yeah. Yeah. It's good for your tea. Yeah no, no, no, nope, center is good for your tea. Boba tea, the very sugary drink with the occasional loogi glob in the latinous
blob in the bottom. Since I did not introduce you, but we did a segment about it, We're talking a little Boba t in the revolution in the food court, Yes, the new segment food Court, Yeah, which we'll be making a triumphant return in January. But Kevin, you've been on a bit of a Boba t kick. It changed your world, huh.
I was introduced to it. I mean I knew what it was, but I didn't know it was something I would, you know, like, And then I tried it, and you know, that segment ended with such a great joke too, that I just felt like that's a part of it. And I feel like every year the food Court food candidates should be added as
nominees and then we'll select a downbeat. Food of the year absolutely. Twenty twenty three's food of the Year is Boba t And I've got, you know, a commission in our artist friends working on a big Boba te painting with us standing on the cover. There's a lot of beads in this one. Yeah, no, I thought, yeah, I didn't know. I get this from Fat straw that's really good. Thank you, Kevin with that potatoes Boba tea. I did you got Boba t JJ strawberry strawberry. That's really
sweet man, Thank you. Hey, before we play these Christmas songs, I saw us real quick, and let's see if you think you could do this, Mike, Okay, there's a guy named Ronnie. Only Ronnie could do this. He golfed eighteen holes, had eighteen hot dogs and eighteen beers in one round, a dog and a beer at each hole. No, I could could you do it? Hell no? And then spread out over four hours. Though it's not like a fast I understand how long golf takes.
Joe Chestnut, I've played around. I'm not eating eighteen hot dogs in a day. What would be the bigger feet, Yeah, that's a great question. Dog or the beer. Probably the dog I think so I could. I mean, I don't. I couldn't do eighteen beers in four hours. But we're talking super light beers. Oh my god, I mean that's at guy's kind of shaped like you. Man. Oh really, it looks like Travis Kelsey. He's six' two, he's got an athletic build.
Yeah. He's wearing denim jeans, which you love. You love golfing and jeans. You do wear my jeans out there every chance, I guess, wearing a hard hat. Really, I can get you nine beers. How about nine beers nine dogs in eighteen holes. Let's be realistic. I'm not going for Guinness World record. That's stupid. You're not gonna feel like playing the back nine if you've had nine dogs and nine beers. I'm saying,
but there's a chance. Yeah, No, I mean over eighteen over the course of eighteen Okay, yeah, I think nine beers over eighteen is that's pretty much easy. It's the heart attack you're worried about. It's the hot dogs. Yeah, it's the hot dogs. Because you can do two dogs and a beer on the first tee. You're not gonna want seven more hot dogs, much less sixteen no, yeah, we've eliminated that. Man. This guy did that, put it online and now he's got a million followers.
People love he's doing cool bits. We did the beer mile once and I struggled with it, but I was also battling a stomach bug, so it was tough. But we did the beer mile and got in trouble at an old station for doing that, which is where you run a mile, but you chug a beer after each lap, like four laps in a mile, okay, so after each lap you chug a beer and uh, one of them. One of our teammates at the time was trying to, you know, we get in trouble with the church, so he did milk.
There's the milk Miile for him, which sounds tougher, honestly, thicker than the beer. No, hydrates better than the water. Well, your voice was literally a Boba tea bubble in my mouth. That doesn't count on my permanent record. But man, that's crazy. I mean, well, never mind, Fanny has something for us. Yeah, yeah, something I want. Get this quick little list that I came up with. It's a fun game and you guys can all play. It's take like two minutes maybe more.
All right, So officially I've had one vacation day, all right, Today would be the second. But I'm here hanging out with you, guys and lady. I have a thing that I'm going to present you. You will have two options. Okay. These are things that I have done since my vacation started at ten am on Friday of last week and just three days.
Five of these things have happened. Five of them are fiction. It's up to you, guys to decide which one is something that I did or happened to me in the three days since I've been off and which one is false. Are you gonna give us two of them? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna give you two options, and you get to pick which one actually happened and then tell me which one is one that was made up? Okay, okay, Kevin, are you ready? Now? Look, these are hard, so you're gonna have to
pay close attention. There's a nuance in here. But I promise you one of these two things happened. Which one is it? Is it? A? Did? I attend the Hustler magazine Christmas party at the Indigo Hotel and I partied until three a m. With Evan Stone and Tara Patrick before being invited to a private suite which involved a threesome with Drew Pearson. In sixty minutes own Leslie Stall. Okay, b I took Malcolm to Benny Hannah for a Christmas dinner tradition with his mom and had to get our food to go
because he was so fussy. See, we couldn't stay, only to find out that when we got home he had one hundred and two degree fever. This would also mark the second year in a row that we had to get our food to go from Bennie Hannah Christmas dinner because of a cranky baby. I remember last year's in Hanna situation, and that's what makes me lean toward the Beny Hanna thing. But one I did hear some whispers that Evanstone was in town this weekend? Huh he was? Whispers he was? Who whis
was? I was trying to get him on the show. Who he was? Okay, what do you guys think? Porn con did I go to the Christmas Hustler magazine party at the Indigo Hotel have to leave in the middle of a flaming four course meal at Bennie Hanna because my baby had a fever. I'm gonna go ahead and tell you a couple of context. Was Evanstone in town. Leslie Stall has family here in town, so she used here for the holiday. Yeah, a little hot pepper. Danny's is very comfortable
coming up here in pajamas. I think he's comfortable slang in that wood. So I'm gonna say that he went to the Hustler Christmas party at the end of Go Hotel and had a threesome with a sixty minutes reporter. Wow, Mikey, I think that sounds like a crazy Outlander story. I'm gonna go with bee that bring your child to Benny Hannah and he did not go. Well. Yeah, that's hard though, Mikey, you actually won. Yeah, Kevin, you were way off. Felt too easy. None of that
happened, felt too easy. All right, Let's go to uh Choices is number two A. I went to the second night of the Polyphonic Spree Christmas show at the Majestic, and I was invited on stage by lead singer Tim de Latter to play and advanced cello solo on their hit Light and Day. Upon receiving a standing ovation, from a sold out, teary eyed crowd.
I was carried off stage to an exclusive green room to hang out with supermodel Emily Radikowski before I was begged back to the stage by the band to perform a set of solo material as the crowd would not stop booing the Spree after my initial exit. Wow, because they didn't want to hear any more from them. Huh huh, bring the cello guy back. This was Saturday night?
Or on Saturday night? Did I do this? Watch my almost three year old run full speed down my hallway and superman himself over a bean bag, where he ended up landing face first on the hardwood floor, suffering a massive contusion on his chin, resulting in a deafening crying spell that lasted almost fifteen minutes. Okay, so I was at the Polyphonic Spree concert Saturday night and I ran into old friends Dave Lane, I saw, I saw Grooves
and Darcy Ye many others. I didn't see Danny and I definitely didn't see him go on stage. Yeah, there's a reason for that, because be Malcolm b is what happened. Yes, my kid almost got a concussion by running full speed and Superman flying over this huge bean bag and went face first into the ground. But no stitches. No, it almost broke the skin open on his chin. But dude, that was that was a big night Saturday. I thought you were going to say that you did all that stuff
on the Friday night first show of the Polyponic spree? Did you go to that one? That was the trick? Clearly made that up on Sunday? Which one did I do? Which one happened to me? On my vacation? I flew first class to Buffalo on Sunday to see the Cowboys face the Bills and found my way down onto the field on the sidelines, where I was invited by assistant tight ends coach Chase Hazlitt into the medical ten for halftime
tequila shots. Somebody had a leftover coach reference that didn't use on the Hot Pepper pavilion, but they needed to go ahead and burn case Hazlet, which is the son of Jim Haslet shots McCarthy's barn dum or did this happen? I fell asleep in bed with with Malki, only to wake up at three am in a warm puddle of toddler p as a result of a blown out diaper. He really blew. He busted through one. I think his dingling like went out the side and he didn't, so the diaper was unable to
soak up the tea. So yeah, and you woke up to the soaked mattress. What do you do with soak mattress? Get rid of It's time to get a new one. It's time to get a new one. All right. If you're selling mattresses, call the iHeart. And I think that's obvious that this one is be because if you remember at halftime at the Cowboys Bills game, the uh the medical tent was occupied, so I wouldn't have been able to get in there. Yeah, that's what gives that one away.
Yeah for sure. All right. Number four, did I a win twenty five thousand dollars on a scratch off ticket? Or b spend three hundred and thirty eight dollars at Old Navy in Mesquite on size four T winter clothes. Okay, so we had the local story of the scratch off ticket that won a million dollars. I didn't see one reported for twenty five thousand dollars. But you do seem like you would be more of a oshkosh pagash guy rather than old Navy for the kid. Wait size four? T h Yeah,
he's two and he's two. He's like, he's yeah, he's twice the size of it, damn it. But he can still squeeze into a three. Hope you kept your receipt. I'll say that you're a youth extra small. Oh that's fine. Okay, I'll say that you're in the red here. Okay, I'm definitely in the red. Did you play a scratch off ticket this weekend? Non't? I've never. I haven't done that in
thirty years, Mike till today? All right? Last one? He enjoyed a twelve course tasting menu at Carte Blanche made personally by dear friend and renowned chef Casey LaRue, which included French onion soup with local green Air cheese and fresh thyme, and a duck confee served with Texas peaches and roasted pistachios or you deserve. I had the three finger combo at Cane's Chicken Fingers with my son and had to console him when we were told they were sold out of
posty cups. Which one actually happened? Did you say that you took Malcolm to that first thing. No, No, that was me and Emily from a Spree show only because the theme. I'm gonna go with the Malcolm one again. Guys. You guys are really good at this game. Really enjoy on your vacation. All answers are be and I'm three days in two weeks here welcome, just loving it. Daddy Dinger, big old blue blue spot on his chin. No wonder you gave up and were sweatpants up here.
Totally pajamas, bro. You know what sounds like Danny needs a couple of your potatoes, Kevin. Yeah, I'll give you a couple of potatoes. Potatoes. You'll be all right with a six pack for Christmas. Absolutely okay, and he'll be all right absolutely okay. Well that was awesome. No wonder you came back to work for a couple of days. He can get away for a minute. Okay. We're gonna hear incredible songs from football Steve one from Christina to get you in the Christmas mood, plus our holiday gift
exchange. Next on ninety seven won the Freak
