Draft start at seven, eight o'clock. We'll do the NFL Draft Bonanza.
Cowboys pick at twenty four. Ithink that'll be around nine pm to nine
thirty. You know, if youlook at how these things traditionally go unless

(00:43):
they move into the top five.But they could trade up, they could
trade down. I think we're gonnaget a lot of trades tonight. And
you said every year, but tonightfeels a little different because there's a lot
of uncertainty with the quarterbacks. Igot fun stuff for us in the NFL
Draft Bonanza as well as who theCowboys might take. How much more that's
coming up. We're the home ofthe Dallas Mavericks Game three tomorrow night.

(01:03):

the MAVs playoff run call tenues fourth. I'll tell you about my trip to
Italy at nine, including home ata Russian woman a bit angry. Hod

(01:25):
you're joking around having a good time. It didn't translate on a boat,
and like a lot of things I'dsay and do, it didn't translate.
But right now, let's do thescuttle butt. You guys wanna do it?
Did you missed doing the skull buttfor the last week? I I

(01:46):
didn't think about that too much,honestly. Did you do the scuttle butt
for roxy every day? Just tokeep your uh, keep your weapons sharp?
I do it in my sleep alot, though I talk nice sleep.
Yeah. In fact, this morningshe will cup wear her out with
plain stories every day before morning coffee. She's like, you're always talking what

(02:07):
you're doing the show. I'm alwaysinterviewing people. I love it. But
this morning, for some reason,which is banded I really don't care about.
But she said in my sleep Iwas defending as I woke her up,
like four as you have top,I was defending Maroon Five's first album
songs about Jane. And you knowwhat, I'll defend that publicly, not

(02:29):
just in my dreams. And I'mnot sure who I was defending it to.
I noticed in my travels on avia Billboard Maroon five was about to
kick off a Vegas residency for likea month. Yeah. I don't really
know much about Maroon five outside ofthey got the famous guy yep. But
that first album is great. Yeah, they have Bruce Levine their lead singer,

(02:49):
Brusce Leavine. Yeah, big stars, fan hockey songs. It's real
strain. You don't talk sleep music. I woke up yesterday morning singing The
Gambler by Kenny Rogers. Yeah,hell yeah, And then I listened to
it on my way in yesterday andyou remembered how great it was. Well,
because I'm like, I think theGambler just kind of swindled this guy,
right, the Gambler, what doyou do? He stole the remainder

(03:12):
of his whiskey and a cigarette,and he just kind of told you stuff
you probably already know. I mean, you're playing poker, you understand that
part of the rules, knowing whento kind of sound and went to fold
them. It kind of sounds likea night at the landing with you.
He steals your whiskey, your SIGsand tells you a bunch of stuff you
already know. I don't want tohear he just I don't want to hear
that. I ain't please. Yeah, But then it turns out at the

(03:35):
end the Gambler died. He died, at least according to the lyricist,
but he may have just fallen asleep. They made that song into a TV
movie starring Kenny Rogers. Are youtalking about that or Coward of the County.
I think I'm talking about the Gambler. Now, Coward of the County
tells a story and that's it.That's yeah, it is the the the

(04:01):
revenge enacted. But the Gamber,I think he may have just screwed the
guy over and faked his own death. Here's Kevin. You got to know
him to hold him, Mike,you got to know him to fold him.
And I gotta tell you what.I will tell you a little bit
more about this at nine as Ihad playing problems. But as of yesterday,

(04:21):
the Biden administration released a new listof rights for airline passengers. It's
a big week for the US government. Well, they've made some plays this
week. I wonder I was thinkingabout is this. I mean, everything's
politically motivated, but it was weirdback to back days that like, on
the surface at least, are incrediblygood for workers and just American regular folk.

(04:45):
Yeah, maybe are they like notgood for corporate land? And I
wonder if I don't know how muchof this is politically motivated, says the
Biden administration, It would say theTrump administration if he was the president,
right, huh, But these rightsare interesting. Airlines will be required to
issue automatic refunds for domestic flights delayedover three hours. I'll tell you more

(05:05):
about it a little bit. ButI had a three and a half hour
delay. Oh international, six hours? Big dog? Oh international flights delayed
by six or more hours, soyou don't get desks or if a flight
has a significant change. It alsoincludes check bags not being delivered within twelve
hours. But basically the whole danceof you know, hey, I need

(05:25):
a refund, Oh credit, willyou with miles and then who do you
even call, and God forbid youcan get someone on the phone, and
all this stuff. The idea isto eliminate all that and you just get
a refund directly back to the wayyou paid. Right ideally, this is
that's awesome. Airlines will be facingsignificant fines if they don't follow these rules.
Either they don't get you the paymentin time within seven days. Good,

(05:49):
that's good. You should not haveto come. I'll tell you bore
it. Nine. You shouldn't haveto your plans, you plan on things.
Also, we take for granted thatplanes are safe. Planes are safe,
and it's amazing you can fly anywhereelse on Earth tomorrow tomorrow and a

(06:10):
reasonable rate. Yeah, that iscrazy. It's that's we do take that
progress. Planes are so safe,and that's why South Southwest Airlines and Jet
Blue Airways nearly collided a couple ofjets at Ronald Reagan Airport the other day
on the ground, on the ground, so that the air traffic controller is
telling Southwest Airlines number four, butthey're dying. Southwest, the air traffic

(06:42):
controller is telling you you're good tocross runway four. Meanwhile, Jet Blue
has started its takeoff is ready torisk, so Southwest is crossing runway four.
Jet Blue is hauling ass throws onthe brakes so they don't hit the
plane. No injuries reported, anythinglike that. But we had a near

(07:03):
collision. How near it didn't say. And that's the thing. These articles
never give you the details on howmany football fields away were we how many
elephants from smashing and everyone burning alive? I don't know. I do fear
the collision because that I feel likethat is a human error that is possible.

(07:23):
I do fear the in air collisiontoo, which I think is far
less likely than the on ground collision. Yeah. But also if there's a
mid air collision, you're just evaporated, right, you don't feel anything.
It's done. Yeah, yeah,ball of fire if yeah, depending on
what how you unless if it's awing clip, you might have a good

(07:47):
shout out everyone on their way tothe airport. Anyone getting long flights today?
There you go, where the showto get you in the right mindset
for that. Now, this isa wild one though. If you guys
seen this, The FAA is investigatingthe story. Go see the story with
the Colorado Rockies. Uh Anupama hasgotta be pissed. Was right. So

(08:11):
there's an investigation that's taking place fromApril tenth a video where it's a United
Airlines flight. Oh my gosh,this is hilarious. I'm struggling to think
how a baseball team and an AmericanAirlines flight. This is United? Sorry,
good, have trouble, Okay,go ahead. So it's from Denver

(08:33):
to Toronto and a man a companyaccompanying the Colorado Rockies baseball team we now
know as a coach of some sort, specifically who was caught on video that
he had posted online and he deletedit, but it's online now. Espano's
running the story too. He's takinga video mid flight in the cockpit with
the pilots and since nine to eleven, No, you can't do that anymore.

(08:58):
You can't take the up mid flight, show them the plane and meet
Kareem Abdul Jabbar. That's not happening. The NBA's all time leading scorps.
I'll let you go meet the pilot. Son, you know not anymore?
Did you do that when you're akid at all? Yeah? I got
the little wings? Yeah, yeah, pinned on you? Sure I did
pretty calm? Better time yeah,but do you think the pilots were in

(09:22):
real life? They're like, ohGod, here comes another snot nose pilot
or a tour guide. Right,I'm trying to fly this damn plane and
finish my Scotch kids. Well,a little more to nine. I've learned
that pilots half of their job iscustomer service nine o'clock for more on that.

(09:43):
Everything's happening at nine. But theNFL draft bonanza is gonna be just
skip the news and do Yeah,let's do three straight nine o'clock spotlight on
Kevin? Did the spotlight off me? Please? Kevin. So they're in
trouble, I mean it's a charteredflight. Yeah, I don't know.

(10:05):
Yeah, it's gotta be. Yeah, he's just up in the cockpit and
he's filming talking to the pilots andwhat does that button do? And yeah,
it is really stress pretty weird.He is the pilots too. Maybe
the pilot wants to meet Dante Bishit. I don't know who this guy was
either, we just know that it'sa coach. It's funny because he is
kind of looking like he looks backand he's like, I mean, you

(10:28):
see all the buttons on the cockpitboard, you know, on the motherboard,
and he's looking back kind of atthe at the phone too, and
it's a big video that got takendown but its surfaced and ESPN's weren't out
of the story too. And theUnited Airlines's next biggest hurdle after they had,
you know, the wheel fall offthe plane, right, so they've

(10:50):
had some problems there. And that'llconclude it for this portion of plane stories.

What You Sound Like? Inside EditionMan Kansas zoo An Ostrich Karen the Ostrich,

(16:26):
known for her love of playing inthe water and being a dancing queen
and complaining about the speed of hertire replacement is dead? Oh no,
why is Karen the Ostrich dead viaswallowing? What swallow a dildo? Okay,

(16:49):
I don't even know why you wouldsay that, because I'm why did
she really? What did you lookthis up? Oh? I have no
I promise you no idea what shedid? Didn't she? Why would that
be at the zoo? Because shewas at that football game and somebody threw
it into the end zone buffalo,Yeah, threw it into her mouth.

(17:14):
So Karen, who is scored atthe kids zoo, reached beyond her exhibits
fence because she's an ostrich. Theycan you know, they can reach over
and reach around. It's one ofthe benefits of having an elongated neck grabs
whenever I'm listing the benefits of beinga bird. That's one of the huge

(17:34):
necks. Flight. Yeah, Iforgot flight, But ken just really fly?
No, not fast? Would theykind of flump their wings around and
run? Yeah? I can't domuch. They're built weird. They are
the true muffin top of animal snowkidding that's a spare gig flightless bird.

(17:56):
Yeah, seriously, it's like,how mad are you? I do how
mad are you at God? Ifyou are a bird and you're watching your
friend eagle, you're doing like allthis kick ass stuff and then here you
are on the ground. What tricksdo I have swallowing dildos at a zoo?
Life is that it reaches its neckaround and grabs the keys off a

(18:21):
staff member whose outside the exhibit,grabs them to the locker, and then
swallowed the keys to the dildo locker. Great movie starring Jeremy Renner won an
Academy Award. Why would they havethat at the zoo? I still don't

(18:45):
know. So they're freaking out,trying to like, Okay, well we're
gonna do surgery. They couldn't getit done in time. Oh man,
Really, Karen had to be euthanizedas it was choking on the keys and
they hadn't killed. It's terrible,terrible. I'm still trying to unpack why

(19:07):
there would be a locker, specificallyat a zoo. It's staff only.
Who's got time for animals? Noone has time at the zoo. Helen,
have time? Give me the keys? Yes, break Ellen? Okay,

(19:36):
that's good. That's sad. That'ssad. I don't love that's really
sad and traumatic. And they probablyloved Karen the bird, the flightless bird.
They said it was the dancing queenof the zoo, complained a lot.
She did, real bitch. Didthe guy get his keys back?
Yes, they're in the esophagus ofKaren. You know what paying the ass

(19:59):
it is to remin make every oneof those keys to every cage raccoons.
Keta, I got a hundred keys. Imagine running a zoo. How big
your keychain is. It's spread outas Kansas is. They don't have any
locksmith's up there. They definitely gotthe keys out, yea. And the
guy whose keys they were, probablyabout fifteen minutes after Karen succumbed, was

(20:21):
like, so, what's the planon? Need the key? What's the
plan from here? Putting the rubbergloves on? I'll do it. Feel
them right here, the lower portionof the throat right there. Just if
you cut right here, just cutright I'll just cover it here right here.

(20:41):
Or fine, just work them up, work them up, the work
and then it's just wide and thenrest get a just kill her. Don't
worry about the break that or goodlock. Okay, caught up. Next,
