Episode Transcript

(00:00):
I played today with a ton ofgratitude and appreciation for the opportunity to do
this. I'm really glad I getto do it again tomorrow, and I'm
gonna remind myself I'm a dog andI'm ready for this moment. Oh yeah,
no, I do like this.I was thinking of walk like an
Egyptian. I said it before.I thought it was fun like an bring

(00:31):
I seeing cav It's a big keVy'all. I'm back. Hey guys,
Danny Baylis is here. You betyour buns. Mike Strays here, JJ
Jackson is here, and Kevin ishere. All right, let's have fun

(00:51):
today. A lot of stuff.Actually, I will tell you about travels
and how I did. I thoughtI I saw the light a little bit,
not so much from the plane,but from the Russian woman in side.
Ey'd be on the boat. Wewere convinced you would be running toward
the light at some point, Caroline, Yeah, or if a plane engine

(01:15):
was a light flame. Not havingInternet on the flight back, catch up
storagejeels, show breath, you know, how are you listening? I bought
Internet just for the way back.With that costume and the free iHeartRadio app
works in the sky too. Theydon't promote that enough. That should be
the thing that they promote the most. We work in the sky, works

(01:38):
at three hundred thousand feet over Greenlandor wherever I was. Did you look
at your little map when you wereBos says yes, And I had no
idea. Was this pilot drunk?Were were we going? So up?
I left? It was cold.I looked at it just in the mountains.
I was like, is he avoidingthe water for me? He doesn't
understand the shortest no distance between twopoints. Yes, he had to drive

(02:00):
over where Santa lives. This fifteenhour flight would have been eight hours if
you just got in to it right. But we had to quit doofing around
up there, take the scenic route. But I kind of visited England in
London too. I saw it allIreland. I was like, are we
going west? Did we go overthe Pacific? I was so confused.

(02:21):
I'm not convinced the world's flat though. Okay, right, Well, any
people all out to get Kyrie backin the day, you should have just
hurt him out a little bit.The last time you've been that high in
the sky listening to the downbeat,We'll make you start thinking. During empty
nester talk, I started going,I think the world is flat. It's

(02:43):
kind of strange than you. Man, Was it miserable to fight back?
Did you sleep at all? Becausethat's the hard one when you go that
way, usually it's overnight, youknow, and you'll I don't know,
I don't know when you want todo this crap we have, we're gonna
whip you about it. So theflight back was longer. But because I

(03:04):
when I had purchased internet for thatone, I didn't purchase internet for the
flat over. I used the toolsthat were given to me, the TV
on the you know boss yeah,to be my own boss on American airlines,
dumb phone game apps and reading books. Boy, you like you reinstall
the candy crush? Oh my god, I've been played for ten years just

(03:27):
to get through a couple a couplehours, not even like twenty minutes.
Right, he's like the world championof angry birds on Lands and Brussels Angry
Birds HQ. There's like a singleblip, like Jesus, somebody's playing again.
Hold up, he's playing a lotstocks slowly going up? Is there
anyone just crushing angry birds every everyday? Yes, there's still Yeah,

(03:50):
because dude, when you go tothe app store for games, I was
shocked to find that Angry Birds isstill an option. Yeah. One of
my favorite pastimes getting home from thebar. Oh, dude, sitting now
on my front porch in the lawnchair, having the late night amstell light,
crushing a sig and playing Angry Birdstill three point thirty in the morning
is so good, like an hour. God, that is a great afternoon

(04:12):
drive privilegeashing its little towers. Itwas so fun. God, my life
was so much simpler back then.And then they came. They had a
movie, right, they made amovie. Yeah, you can't play the
movie. No, you just lookat it. I want to be involved.
When I'm smashing birds into bricks withthe little slingshot thing or whatever,

(04:34):
you pull them back and they havedifferent This one explodes, This one freezes
everything. That was a fun gameto play. Drunken haze, I'm about
to pass out. But it's weirdthat something like that burns so bright and
then it was the lost of youheard it or even saw someone over their
shoulder playing. I hadn't thought aboutit until I got onto the app store.

(04:57):
I moved from that to trying tolearn an Italian with dual lingo.
There used to be a late nightthing too. There's a lot of stupid
crap. Yeah, that is betterthan blasting birds against bricks and rocks,
trying to smash them all and ifyou smash them, we get to go
to the next level. But theymade it so hard because if you get

(05:18):
three stars, you know they're winningit. It's just an infinite levels,
right yeah. Yeah, it's like, look, I'm not gonna I'll never
pay for this, and it's like, well hold on one dollar. Yeah,
and the exploding birds use whatever Iwant any level, so good,
I'll double click that. So thefight back was actually fine as I was,

(05:41):
you know, on the Internet andlooking for stories and things like that
and having a good time and justfinding airplane after airplane story. I think
Danny and I both in the scuttleButton Dingo's Morning News will have a plane
story or two. I have aterminal story. All right, this story
never made it year, just action. Where are the Colorado Rockies involved in

(06:04):
a plane scandal? I mean,I had so much crap. Uh,
tonight's the draft and me and Jeffreyare gonna do it. We're gonna do
it at the Buffalo Wild Wings andGrapevine. Right. So the six am
crew, if you is going tocome out and see us out there,
we're going to do the draft.Then the Cowboys picked twenty fourth. There's

(06:27):
no MAVs or Stars tonight or Rangersfor that for that matter. So come
out and see us. I've gotthe NFL Draft bonanza at eight am.
It would be half assed if wedidn't, right, because I actually did
a lot of draft prep, unlikethe last well when I used to do

(06:50):
it, you know, but Idid crash courses. I learned over the
trip that I would be doing itwith Jeff. But you did more this
year than you have in the lastcouple of years. No, no,
no way, less, he's donenothing this year. I have done nothing.
Yeah, well, well until exceptDRAFTSA then well except on like I
got ready, I started mashing.I got tipped off a couple of weeks

(07:12):
ago. There might be something forme and Jeff if the MAVs didn't play
and the schedule came out. Heknows nothing about the draft, but he
can rank his top ten Ficasha Breads. Don't even bring up bread to me
right now, bread pasta, reallycheese. They all sound terrible. It
feels like I tell you that Dannyand I surprised you on today, your
return date. We got in aboutan hour for Zoli's is catering a welcome

(07:38):
home Kevin party. I paid Exerfor them to drive it up from their
one location Waco. Have you eversubmitted or succumbed? Yes, I have
to, and it's not very good. No in my head. Yeah,
the breadsticks amazing and it's still niceAlfredo whatever, but yeah, it's what

(07:58):
it's fast food Italian. Yeah,fight back to Italian food. Fine out
of I believe that. Find outin Rome. Here are your two Here
are your two meal options. Firstchicken, and I'm like, I'll have
neither since I I did last night. If it wasn't the Morning Show,

(08:20):
if we had another shift, Iwould have. I would have surprised Kevin
with a giant Italian fist like Iwanted to do it. And then I
was like, what's the Italian breakfast? Can I do this? And then
obviously it is not sound good abouton all of it right now. I
told you man, when I wasthere, it was probably twelve days in
there a pretty long time, andI just did. I muttered to myself,

(08:43):
I'm sick of Italian food. Andthere's just it's one of those things
you never thought you'd hear yourself saying, well, yeah, not in Italy.
You wouldn't think you'd say it.But imagine here even eating kind of
Italian food for three days in arow four Like, sure, I love
Italian food. I hate some.Last night, I went to Jimmy's food
store. You did when I wentto the doctor at Baylor. I always

(09:05):
go to Jimmy's and load up.So yes, I had Italian last night.
But you do it every damn day, and it's right, it's a
lot. Did you did that hityou before you left Italy? I mean,
like, were you kind of likeall right? So I didn't have
until day three And I'll detail thismore at nine, but it was about
day three and I was still like, I don't know if I've had that

(09:28):
good food orgasm yet. You know, I'm still searching. So I was
still being there really on the ground. Seven days is kind of like by
day three is when I started toreally get into it. And that's as
you worked further south starts stumbling uponjust amazing. I mean, i'll detail

(09:48):
it at nine. But the bestsandwich, the best, and it's not.
It's not. I could have toldyou, Oh, I bet it'll
be the best. It'll be thebest pizza I've ever had. It'll be
the best possible. Sure, No, And then you go and you're like
Jesus Christ, I'll never have thatagain like that. It's amazing. And
it's because of the soil and thetomatoes. What happened your voice right there

(10:11):
that last sentence, there's two wordssoil and tomatoes. You said differently.
Huh. I didn't say I didn'thear that? Did you at the gas
station? No? Oh? Didyou take the listener's advice and go down
that alley? Yeah? Yeah?Did you left to have wound something?

(10:33):
You're leaking right over kidney gun andthey don't have guns in Italy, but
so many knives. They're stabbing peoplethere. Die. He told you to
stand at the fountain. Had leftover the bridge two pm to something and
one more left two o'clock. Sohe said that was hard to really get
all that. Boy. I'll tellyou what too. When I got to

(10:54):
my house, and I don't Idon't live in a big house. I
have a small house, but Iwent Jesus my house. It's like a
mansion right now compared to how littleeverything is, the streets and the places.
I was like, I don't knowit was. Did you feel like
the stay huffed marshmallow man walking aroundthe street. I feel like that right
now, dude, I got it. I was like, Okay, we're

(11:15):
going to the gym tomorrow. We'regoing to hulk this out. Do you
have a scale at your house?Uh? You know, I do.
I didn't think to do it,but I first thing that I did right
before we leave and already get back. I didn't check it before I left,
like an idiot. Do you thinkyou did Game five plus? Oh?
Yeah, maybe ten? I thinkI gained like eight. Not a
boy more. I get a shirtthat fits me pretty well, you know,

(11:37):
like to word, I'm trying tolook slimming. And even that,
I was like, okay, I'mkind of stretching this bad boy out.
But then I got home last nightand I was hungry last night. They
didn't eat much on the plane,and I said I want some dim sum.
Yeah, and we mixed that up. Went to jing Chi and Richardson
and just went to Poundtown on somedumplings. That usually when I get back

(12:01):
to Texas from a long trip,and usually the trips are Stateside, the
first thing that I want when Iget back here is Mexican food. It's
just terrible if you get out ofTexas pretty much. Yeah, but yeah,
the rich European food travel vacation.I think the first thing that I
would want to do and probably eatfor a week is like fuugh, just

(12:26):
water and vegetables. Water. Yes, how do you get dehydrated on a
trip? And I just did becausethey're not offering you water like here,
every time you sit down, they'refilling up your picture of water. But
a restaurant, you gotta water thewater. Steel or sparkling and yeah,
gas or scene gas gos crazy.Did you drink a bunch of wine on

(12:48):
the trip? I had wine sprintzes. I don't delicious Italian gin I have.
I didn't know there was such abig Gin and tonic people. They
are huge on gin out there,so tons of spritzes. What's a sprit
the Appo spirts? Oh, Camarisprits, the lemon Cello sprits. You

(13:13):
I would have thought lemon cello wouldbe the greatest drink I've ever I don't.
I didn't. I don't love thesprits, but I definitely had a
lot of them. I loved allthings lemon lemonillo sprits, but the apparol
sprits there's some flavor in. There'sa little cough medicine to it that I
didn't. I agree with you onthat that's bitter. Is that there's a
little bit of bitter to Yeah,for sure, but it does look good,

(13:35):
and it kind of when you're therelooking at the mount, you're just
going hot dog. Then I pulledup Vesuvius tracker more on that. At
nine, we're having fun. Didyou watch a movie on the way out
there? On? Okay? Whatdid they offer a movie on the p

(13:56):
Yeah, I mean you have selections, watch a bunch of different ones.

I was definitely looking over there everyonce in a while. Yeah, And
Sidney Sweeney was looking back at mewith her cross eye with their flotation devices,
their cross eye on her walk.Dad, what do you want if

show a movie through the tonight's feature? His costam blue back and enjoy a

(15:01):
movie? The screen comes down?Here we go, I'll put something good.
That's it, gonn. But Ido realize that on the international flight
you can have the selections and thewhole library. But yeah, I mean
I figured like they'd still just havethat stupid you know, like four screens
that are on the roof. Yeah, that would come down passed away.

(15:22):
On my way to I just watchedway that the airport seventy seven? What
I watched Wonka on my fight toVegas. I loved it with Timothy Shama
Lama great in it. What thatmovie get panned so hard? I did

you on a plane. It wasn'tlike popular, But what did it get?
That was great? He's saying rockshut like JJ liked JJ, you
like Wonka? Not really? Notreally? It was all right. Maybe
I just heard JJ's review. Yeah, that's all we go with. That's
usually good. And I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but eighty two

percent on a rotten Tommy, I'mnot saying yeah, no, I thought
it was awesome. What stood outis that? Why was it one so
hot? What do you mean it'slike, yeah, well, you go
to anywhere really just I think they'rejust lean. We're not at the Barcelona
airport. They're lean, but theirmenus have appetizer, first course, second
course. They're small so much.Yeah, they're small porches. That's the

(16:27):
thing. You The problem I wastalking to I remember I was talking to
with this about you go to Italyand the problem is you go there and
you eat all of the big fatthings. They're not eating that stuff for
every meal every day. Yeah,and the portions that they get are not

(16:48):
these massive acres of nachos that weorder here, acres. You know,

It's a picture of a beer canthat would be the mug of Dale Earnhardt's

you to look cool. But youknow what, you're ice cold on these
bets, so I don't mind youtaking taking one easy. Well, there's

(18:41):
another bet that will pay off foryou in fifteen minutes because the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame induction. That'sright. I haven't even looked at and
I have not tallied this up.So we'll t live on the air,
all right, damn it? Handlethat I know I got. It's just
mushed in. This is one Dannywearing panties on the outside of his jeans.

(19:03):
having to create OnlyFans account. That'swhat you did. Too much. That's
too much for a stupid bet likethat. Do you know who won?
I don't. I've not tallied it, okay, but you've seen the winners.
I have seen that, Okay,Yes, I know who got inducted.
Now I don't know who won thebet. Okay, that's why I
inducted all. That's what I meant. Absolutely, that was one of the
first to know how fast was howfast was your internet? They called me,

(19:29):
how fast is your internet on theway back and how limited was it?
It was great, like you couldwatch Netflix if you wanted to.
Really usually kind of constrict that stuffand their levels, like you can get
the basic and then the high qualityfor streamings? Was it the way they
did it was it was about likea two hour plan or by the full
plan, and the full plane waslike fifty Jesus, we got eleven hour

(19:52):
bear in front of you. Youwant to climb that bear? So I
hit it very early in the flight, so I knew I was going to
get into it. I had alot of draft prepped to do for tonight's
big event. Did you see anybears in Italy? Tee up Jeff Cavanaugh
to talk about these guys? Heyon THEO and Cavanaugh draft Bonanza had his
draft Bananza tonight. Does that makeyou? Are you Hoss and he's little

(20:14):
Joe? No? I think it'sprobably the other way around. Yeah,
yeah, But I think we're havingthe Buffalo from Buffalo Wild Wings on too.
I think he's gonna jump in thatbig guy. I would might.
I might stop by if he wasgonna be there. Y, what's the

(20:36):
wing situation in Italy. The amountof ice creams is a guy who doesn't
eat a lot of meats and icecream Like I like it, don't go
for it or crave it a lot. Boy, I'll be damned if you're
not thinking after every meal, I'mgonna stop at that delicious gelato spot.

(20:56):
Yes you are, and they showyou. They put it out. God,
it's so good. There's still everygelado spots like this, even in
America, where you can look inthe thing, but they're like, hey,
we got twenty flavors, you gettwo. It's a small cup even.
Yeah, and the way they presentthe gelato it sells itself. Does
You don't need to advertise gelato.You just look at it and go,

(21:17):
oh my god. Want you're righton a portioning. But it is an
odd thing. It's all pasta andthey love some ice cream of ice cream.
But they're lean. But they're lean. It's weird, is it?
Because they walk everywhere? Yes?Yeah? Say what my body fell?
I mean I felt like I gotmy ass kicked. Yeah, multiple times,
you're just walking everywhere. I waslike, I'm hitting mid some step

(21:41):
limits. I'd hit a long time. Do you have a stepper? Uh?
Well, mean, yeah, justthe what you hit. You had
fifteen k oh, I was fifteenalmost every day. Yesterday was like I
got home and I was at eightk and I was like, this is
not enough. I need to goget seven thousand more steps in and then
I cut a leg. Cramp yep, just plopped it down. Okay,
ketch up on the Daily Show?And have you ever set your goal for

(22:04):
the weekend to see how few stepsyou can take? Have you ever kept
it under one hundred? It's hardto do. I think I've kept under
two fifty. H Yes, youcould barely do that. And if you
don't leave your house just walking tothe bathrooms, that's it. That's fifty
steps right there, depending on whereyour turtlet is going to the kitchen for

(22:29):
more meat. I think I cando it when I'm sick, for sure,
because that's like I doing nothing tolay in bed. But that is
under two point fifty. Post thoseresults on Facebook, that's a good bet
payoff. I want to get oneweekend day with you have two hundred and
fifty steps and you have to proveit. Oh my god, how would

(22:53):
you even do that? You couldn'tI could, Kevin maybe could because you're
gonna do a little draft stuff ateight. At seven, we're gonna hear
a story of Danny having its morphinto a Karen. Oh yeah, baby
Karen, Baby Karen, little babykk. That'll be a seven and a

(23:18):
little bit of sports at seven withyou know the other stuff will catch you
up on the Rangers and Stars andMAVs and all that stuff. I watched
the MAVs final of Gate two.I watched it not live but via scoreboard
tracker and social media. Just strayou didn't watch any of it. Yeah,
from a dumper what as I wasabout to leave at six thirty in
the morning, you know, watchingLuca close out the Clippers. That was

(23:45):
really good to see. Boy,y'all looked crazy. And by y'all,
I mean all MAVs fans on Gameone. I couldn't watch it either.
It was just bad. But itwas like nine thirty PM where I was
Sunday night, but none of thebars were showing it and I couldn't get
YouTube, TV door and I didn'tfeel like, weren't you surprised if sports
or not. Was very surprised.Unless you're getting soccer, you're not getting

(24:07):
anything. No. I was verysurprised. I thought it'd be more proud
of here. You'd think you couldat least find it or find a sports
bar. And basketball is very popularin Europe, right, Italy is as
well. Right, we've had someItalian NBA players, quite a few.
The NBA playoffs must not be thatimportant. The Nilo Gallinari, h because
I would care if it could havebeen the Celtics and Heat and Co.

(24:30):
Well, yeah, we had what'shis name then? Guy who played here
for a little bit. What washis name? Remember the guy? He
was a shooter? We had somany. Did he have Rigatoni or something?
Yes? Atoni? What there go? Top Italian NBA players celebrating Italy's

(24:51):
basketball stars. Oh Jesus, youright with you? Okay? Marco Belenelli?
Is that what I said? Isaid, dun you sit down.
Gallinari, who's wonderful known as theItalian virtuoso. Alec Surgedti. Oh my
god, yeah, it is badJobell and Nelly, I mean, but
they've made it. They did makeit more than we'd ever have. Nicolo

(25:11):
o'melli, but oh, Andrea Bargnani. It was nuts to look at Twitter
and every mass fire. Jason kiddand just stuff freaking everyone see any of
that time I've been tweeted it.I was like, y'all look crazy.
Right now, I'm not watching thisgame right now, and I'm glad I'm

(25:33):
not because we're losing by so much. But after that, it was right
around the time we had an eightpoint second quarter, I think, yeah,
okay, during the game, theywere throwing this stuff out. Well,
they got still, they got smoked, and we came in here and
I couldn't imagine a more measured responseto that game one loss than what we
had. We had a steady hand, you guys to win Game two.

(25:56):
Yeah, and they did. Theydid, and it was good. And
I'm ready to watch a live mapsplayoff game tomorrow now. If we're missing
the first two I'm like, okay, I'm ready. Like that happening during
night too at the draft when theCowboys take maybe the first running back in
the entire draft tomorrow night, allhappening live. That's on a Friday night.

(26:19):
Screw it, I'm going to greasewhat coming the next We're gonna tally
up a bet because the Rock andRoll Hall of Fame induction has been named.
They've named they put them in.They're putting them in. There's many
blood bats here. Did Ozzie getin? Did Mary J. Blige get

(26:40):
