into a cyst about the size ofthe probably about the size of a
(03:03):
quarter Jesus, Maybe a littlequarter Jesus, Maybe a little
bigger Jesus and it wasprotruding upwards like a horn.
I'm embellishing a little bit,but to me it was huge and it had
been growing without me reallyrealizing it.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That's why I was like
how long until you notice it?

about a good.
I say six, seven years.

.
What was this?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Quasi murder.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah, so all right.
So let's get back to someairport bar-related stories.
Blake, I know you've beenwanting to talk about this one,
so let's just I'll let you kindof start it.
(09:43):
Let's talk about the time I wassmoking.
I went out on a smoke breakoutside and was coming back.
Well, right on, but I don'tsmoke anymore, get off me.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So I was going out 10
years of smoke breaks.
I'm like which one.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Just 10 years of
smoke breaks.
I'm like which one?
Just 10 years of smoke breakswith you.
So no, the time I was going outfor a smoke break.
I go out to the parking lot totake a wink, wink smoke break
and I'm coming back, a naturaland I almost get run over at the
crosswalk.
Yes, where pedestrians have theright of way At the airport on
(10:24):
federal property.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Pedestrians have the
right of way.
Airport on federal property.
We had by the freaking um.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
The rent-a-cop by the
security guard.
Not even the cop, that man, andthey don't.
They're not even tsa, they justman the employee portal.
Yes, that's and it's.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's just a
rent-a-cop, it's the dfw
security I had one of them theother day when I walked through
the machine.
Weird, she's like dude, that'sdifferent.
She looks at me like you seethat I put the fear of God into
them.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I was like what are
you talking about Again, blake?
We talk about this all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
That kind of gives
you the idea of the mindset.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
That's the only
little bit of power that they
have, so have.
So that's what I'm gettingready.
That's their mindset.
So I'm coming back from thesmoke break and I'm smoking,
okay, and I, coming from theparking lot, I cross the
crosswalk and as I'm crossingthe crosswalk, here comes this
white dfw security bronco,flying.
(11:17):
I'm talking flying not payingattention it's like 15, 20 miles
an hour and he's, and there'sbig cones there's two of them
across every crosswalk.
They say stop for pedestrians,state.
It says state law, stop forpedestrians, yes, anyways, and
it's like neon green, there'stwo of them at every crosswalk
he's flying through there,almost hits me, bro, as a
(11:42):
pedestrian.
He's my security guy, right.
Anyways, serve and protectbrother and um.
So he's flying through there,almost hits me, and I'm smoking
my cigarette.
And so the thing is, is I'm,you know, trying to get back
from the parking lot, I'msmoking a cigarette, I'm
crossing the crosswalk, right,it's like, because I'm almost
(12:04):
that he's trying to peg me.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Well, he's trying to
peg you because he was wrong and
he needed a reason to flip iton you.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
So I jump back on the
crosswalk as he's flying
through there, because you don'twant to get hit?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, exactly, you
like your legs.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I throw up as he
passes me.
I throw up my hands like whatthe hell bro?
What are you doing as?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
anyone would react,
so I continue to smoke my
cigarette.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I walk past the
crosswalk, I walk down the
sidewalk to go back through thedouble doors to go in the main
entrance of the terminal and andso obviously right there where
I go into the terminal is wherehe goes into the terminal,
because I don't know if he's onshift or whatever, or he's, but
(12:48):
he was obviously running latesomething.
So as I'm walking down, I godown to the trash can that he's
actually parked by by the doorthat I'm getting ready to go
into, because that's whereyou're heading to.
I put my cigarette out as he'sbasically finally gets out of
his car and he's like you can'tsmoke here.
And I was like he gets out ofhis car and as soon as I'm
(13:12):
putting the cigarette out, he'slike you can't smoke here.
And I was like I'm not smoking,bro.
And I was like and I can smokewherever I want.
I've already talked to a policeofficer about it.
He's like I'm telling you youcan't smoke.
And I said and who the hell areyou bro?
I'm not smoking bro.
I can smoke anywhere I want, aslong as I can pay the ticket.
I've already spoke with anofficer about it in the past.
I've been here for a long time,buddy.
(13:34):
He's like would you like tospeak to an officer again?
I said, bro, I ain't got timefor this, I'm out.
He's like what's your badgenumber?
He's like I was like, bro, youcan't do shit.
I was like you're a securityguard.
He's like I sure can.
He's like I'm calling thepolice.
(13:55):
I was like call the police, bro.
I was like I don't have timefor this.
I got to go.
I'm going back to work and thisis outside.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
You should do the
same, sir.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, and I said, sir
, I said the only reason you're
trying to deflect here isbecause you almost ran over me
in the crosswalk, speeding in afreaking 15 mile an hour zone.
Yeah, where.
I have the right of way.
He's like that's none of yourconcern, it absolutely is.
Because I almost got hit.
So I was he's like that's noneof your concern, it absolutely
(14:23):
is.
Because I almost got hit.
So I was like exactly apedestrians have the right away,
sir.
That said it says state lawright there on that sign.
Right there he's like yeah, andit also says no smoking right
here on that sign.
I said do you see anybodysmoking?
And so next thing I know herecomes he's already called the
police.
So here come the police.
I'm like I got to get back towork.
(14:43):
I'm freaking ripped Blake's inthere.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Every time when Chris
has been gone for 45 minutes on
a smoke break, you'll neverbelieve what happened.
Every time I'm like, yeah, Iwas like, let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
That's like Bailey
Bailey's, like.
I got stuck in the elevatorthis one time You'll never
believe what happened.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I know something good
is coming.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
So here come the
police.
Police was like dude, were yousmoking over here?
I was like, yeah, bro, I was.
I put my cigarette out, man,because the sign I put he's like
dude smoke, he's like you know.
I was like, absolutely, brother.
I was like next time I'll putbefore I cross the street.
I said, but the real deal isthis guy's trying to impose his
(15:30):
will on me, his little bit ofpower.
He almost ran me over.
He almost ran me over in thecrosswalk and everybody's
neglecting the fact that he'sflying through.
He's like get back to work.
He's like get back to work.
He's like I'm gonna take careof that, thank you, goes over
talk, because he made that guyback up, because he's barking as
the police.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
He's like okay, we
can tell what's going on he's
like let me talk to this guyfirst.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
You stay over here,
buddy, he sends me inside to go
back to work.
Anyways, evidently handled that, dude, but yeah, I know you
were wanting to chime in on thatbecause I wasn't there for like
45 minutes an hour it's everytime.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I always know.
I always know something good'scoming.
You'll never believe I'm justwait.
I wait for it.
You'll never believe whathappened you know, it's always
no, but I'll find out, you knowI don't have those adventures
anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Because I don't smoke
.
I don't have to go downstairsto smoke anymore.
I barely even take breaks now.
Now you're like the rest of us,yes.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Sure, I remember
being the one person that wasn't
a smoker back in the day.
Now it's like the opposite Nowthere was only one smoker, now
there was only one smoker, andnow there's none.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Well, there you go.
Now there's none.
Um.
So story on the agenda that, uh, I've been told by, uh, a lot
of people I've worked with inthe past that I need to go ahead
and tell the story.
It's not very long.
So back in 2002, I worked atthis little bar.
(17:10):
When I first started out at theairport I worked at, and, uh, a
cashier, and then to the rightof that, uh, connected to it,
was a little four top bar and soit was this big long counter,
(17:32):
basically, um, and so we workedbehind the bar and then somebody
worked behind the counter side,uh, making hot dogs, this and
that, and then it had, uh, twolittle four top tables and it
had the four seater bar and thatwas it.
And, um, so when I first workedout there, they only had like
(17:56):
10 bottles of liquor and youknow they had, uh, they had two
beers on tap and they had nobottle beers, nothing like that.
So I put in a full bar.
We get this bar going and itgoes from doing like $1,000 in
sales a day to doingconsistently $5,000 a day at the
(18:17):
most, like $6,000 a day, whichis pretty significant.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That's almost $40,000
of sales a week.
So, with that being said, twoof the cells.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
We wanted to get a TV
put in here.
Keep them in there.
So this was a remote terminal,right, this was all the way back
then, over 20 years ago.
So it was a remote terminal andit had no tv in it.
You were being bussed out tothis terminal that had, I
believe, 10, 10 different gates,which is all the regional
(18:50):
flights that we have in ourterminal now.
A lot more of them now.
Yeah, all the little you know,they fly to baton rouge, midland
, odessa, charlotte, yeah,exactly a lot of my guests
recently told me that is theworst fly to Baton Rouge Midland
.
Odessa, charlotte, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
A lot of my guests
recently told me that is the
worst airport on the planet theCharlotte airport.
Northwest Arkansas, what is it?
The one in Illinois, amarillo.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Peoria.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Peoria, there you go,
the big one.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yeah, We've also got
what Springfield Illinois, yeah,
North Dakota.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
We always get those
Columbia.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Missouri.
Yeah, yeah.
So anyways, I'm working in thislittle so, like I said they
used to, you'd go from the mainterminal and you would get on a
bus.
You'd go bus out across thetarmac to like, basically
this're there, you're there thisbig, huge uh trailer that had
(19:45):
12 little commuter flight gateson it and back then they used to
even have prop planes they had.
It was cool because back in2002 they were just starting to
get the little regional jets.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah they were
actually jets yeah so this is,
this is american eagles littleprop pains you didn't see the
guy going out there regionaljets and pulling the blades and
making it spin.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
So once they got
their little fleet of regional
jets.
That's why that terminal nolonger exists.
So, and now, with dfw being ashuge as it is, so it didn't have
a TV out there, okay, so toupsells, I put a.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Well, if you're the
one thing with the TV out there.
That's huge.
First thing we put it in thefirst thing.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
We did it and it's
back in the bar, so you'd
actually have to come inside?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
You couldn't just
stand outside and watch it
easily?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, and, like I
said, I think the capacity of
that place was no, literally ithad to be a max of like 15.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Okay, maybe 16 max,
including employees, maybe.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, including
employees, damn, okay.
Yeah, no, tiny, this thing wastiny, tiny, yeah, anyways.
(21:28):
So we put a TV out there and I,yeah which should have been no
big deal yeah, and I startedwe'd love to.
So I started back in 2001 andum, so at this point I'm trying
to get this satellite dish forover a year and every bar in the
airport uses satellite dishes.
And they want me to have anasbestos survey and this and
(21:50):
that, and I'm like asbestoshasn't been used.
This building was built in like2000 and asbestos hasn't been
used since 1993.
It's not even necessary.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
You're like this is
pretty new, those materials.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
They had to sample
all the materials of where we're
going to drill a satellite.
It was ridiculous.
Anyways, I ended up continuingthat process, but went ahead and
put the satellite.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You said okay, I'll
take note of that, but we're
going to go ahead and start work.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I put the satellite
dish up anyways, and then the
airport didn't know, but theyfinally approved it and it was
already up Anyways.
Great, we're going to get thatdone right now, so prior to that
, into October 27th of 2002, umOctober 27, 2002, and remember
(22:47):
where we're at, we're in Dallas.
Emmett Smith breaks WalterPayton's rushing record.
We didn't have that satelliteon that TV back then, and so all
we got was local channels withrabbit ears, and so, as you know
, in the airport are barsno-transcript.
(23:31):
So Emmett Smith is breaking therushing record and we get the
Cowboy game on local TV withthese rabbit ears.
But we're inside this metalbuilding, right?
So what do I do?
Do I do?
(23:51):
I have to get up and stand on apickle bucket and hold these
rabbit ears on this, basicallythe garage door that we use
every night to pull down.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
How big is this
state-of-the-art tv in 2002 that
you guys have?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
right.
Yeah, that's why everybodywants me to tell the story.
And so I'm standing on thispickle bucket and I'm holding
the antenna to this garage doorand we're getting like this
badass reception.
It's great, it's like freakingtrying to watch freaking
satellite through scrambleAnyways.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Chris, it's the first
quarter.
How long can you hold that pose?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, no, exactly no.
And so I'm standing on thispickle bucket holding this
freaking antenna and I'm tellingyou there must have been 40
people crammed in.
And then outside of that, andso Emmett Smith breaks Walter
(24:55):
Payton's rushing record and thatwhole little trailer park
erupts dude, unreal, one of thecoolest experiences.
Unreal, one of the coolestexperiences.
(25:15):
But yeah, I'm just, you know.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I'm so glad that
technology has come so far, Jeez
rabbit ears.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, so, Blake, you
know that's really all I got
this week.
Edit that out.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Cut, cut it.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Cut it right there.
No, you know we are lacking incontent here.
What else?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
you got bud.
I'm trying to think, man, it'sbeen a crazy couple months at
the airport.
Good old American Airlines hasbeen doing their best to cancel
and delay as many flights aspossible.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
You know, I love it
because it just you know, as we
always love it, because it justyou know, as we always say when
it rains, it rains money, yes,oh it's been fun the airport
police have been on, not not onus specifically, no On the whole
airport recently.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah.
Because a lot of that.
People are getting stuck in theterminal longer and longer.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Well, it's just like

Yeah, thank you guys
for traveling.
School's about to start,football's getting ready to take
what else?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
man, I'm excited for
football.
Man, it's funny, we were justtalking about it.
25 days to college football,maybe even quicker than that,
but at least until my teamstarts.
Yes, we're getting NFL rightafter that, starting in
September.
I think, right, it's always NFLstarts.
I'm so tired of puttingcornhole and fucking tag and
(28:46):
pillow fights on the tv, on thespn and then there's, you know,
uh, my favorite, the log show.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
The log show is great
.
Yes, as out there where mygirlfriend lives, I don't, I
don't think it holds a candle tothe slippery greater washington
seattle area.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I don't know about
you, but uh, that may be my
favorite.
Have you seen that?
What's that?
Where they have it on the ochoor espPN?
Just ran it.
Where they have the slipperystairs race, yes, where it's
literally like these tile stairsand they spray them down, watch
the YouTube videos of the oldAsian game shows where they
would do that yeah.
I put that on.
I'm like that's probably betterthan watching Stephen A yell at
(29:23):
people on mute in the offseason.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, yell at people
on mute in the off season.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, exactly, talk
about the biggest Cowboys hater,
you know okay, but that's hisjob.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
So for our listeners,
I'm originally from Oklahoma.
Blake, you know, was fortunateenough to move at a young age to
Norman, oklahoma, and, uh, hehad the privilege of going to OU
.
Boomer Sooner, baby BoomerSooner, um.
(29:57):
So we both grew up Sooner fans.
Um, and don't hold it againstus.
Yeah, exactly, um, soon soonerbred, and when I die I'll be a
sooner dead.
So we watched a lot of Oklahomafootball.
We're here, as you guys know,now in Dallas.
(30:17):
So obviously, cowboys,mavericks, yeah, but who cares
about the Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Because we're
irrelevant.
No, you know.
And now Jerry.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'm old.
They were relevant when I wasin high school.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
The best player on
our defense, micah Parsons, many
moons ago, who we should havealready signed Exactly, but now
he wants to be traded becauseJerry has drug his name through
the media.
Not even just that, he's drughis name through the media.
So has Steven, and Steven'sbecome just as bad as Jerry,
which is terrible.
But golly, we've got the twoworst GMs in sports in Dallas
(30:55):
here.
It's fantastic.
Boomer, sooner, yeah exactly.
There's a reason why I workSundays, so that I don't have to
watch the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I can at least dry my
tears with the I don't want to
get opinionated about the DallasCowboys, but I'll say
everything that everybody's beensaying for three decades, since
we haven't won a Super Bowl orreally made any noise in the
playoffs.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
All everybody's been
saying for three decades.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Jerry has to
relinquish control and hire a.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
GM, it's never going
to happen.
And now Steven has gotten sunkin Jerry's ways.
Oh yeah, and that's what's madeit worse.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yes, Nothing like
nepotism.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
You know it's just
like where we work.
But you know the fans everyyear it's the year man, it's the
year baby.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
No, it's not no let's
talk about it.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, then I'll tune
in and I'll be like, all right,
maybe we got something, but Ijust it hurts too much and I
have to just be logical and justseparate my feelings about it.
Which is why we have collegefootball, yeah, which my college
football team couldn't have hada worse season last year and
with injuries and all that.
So I didn't have anyone.
And then I was finally like, ohyeah, now I can confide in the
(32:13):
mavericks.
And finally basketball seasoncame, and then everyone knows
how that went.
So I need some good season ofsport to happen.
Well, okay, I need any sportsteam to just be good.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Well, we have a lot
of promise next year with our
Mavericks.
We do.
Getting the number one draft.
We do.
But I'm just saying last yearwas so terrible for sports, such
a letdown as opposed to theyear before we're in the final.
I mean we're in thechampionship.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
And then the Rangers
sucked this year too.
So, just like every sports teamthat I've had hope in, I go all
right.
Well, the next one will be good.
Hey, how about my?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
stars.
The stars are amazing, but Iknow you don't care about hockey
.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Shout out to all my
hockey fans Shout out to my guy,
brett Hull, who comes in a Hallof Fame hockey player all the
time.
Yes, who.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I have an autographed
picture of him on my.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
He is one of my
favorite guests that come to the
bar.
Of course I don't.
I didn't know who he was.
I just knew him as Brettbecause I talked to everybody it

anything as good of a hockeyplayer as his value of just
being a great human being.

Uh, his name was brent and hewas canadian, but I didn't, I

Speaker 2 (35:21):
I do not really care
for it, as far as I've seen, I
don't know, during the playoffs.
But almost any other sport, Imean I just hockey, yeah I, I
love to watch it in person, buton tv I don't know whatever
ghost stars I mean when I was akid in oklahoma.
I have very fond memories ofgoing seeing the okc blazers
because we had we had noprofessional teams growing up in
oklah, oklahoma, when I was akid, there was the minor league
baseball team and there was aminor league hockey team.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
The 89ers yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Which I went to a lot
of their games for free and I
went to their stadiums all thetime because my dad was one of
the head umpires in the Big 12baseball for a long time.
Oh, that's right, I got.
I saw a lot of games in theirstadium.
Big 12 championships wereplayed there for many, many
years which is the 89ers, wasthe minor league.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yes, uh, triple a or
double a?
I think it was double a.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I don't know, I was
like eight, I don't know.
I don't know.
I saw so much baseball as a kid, which it was great, but as a
kid, you know, I'm just like Iwant to be out playing or
whatever, like I saw it in somany suites and games at Big 12
championships.
I even got to go to the CollegeWorld Series.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
My dad and I played
that in 2005.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
That was one of the
coolest experiences.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I've got to go to a
national title game in football,
but not a baseball.
I got to go to as many games asI wanted at that.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
It's in Omaha,
nebraska Shout out Fun.
Uh, it's in old omaha, nebraskashout out funniest thing about
that trip.
This is back in 2005.
You know, not everybody has asmartphone, nobody has gps,
where my dad's already there,right?
So me and and my older brotherand my mom, we're gonna, we're
gonna load up in the van anddrive there and so we so we have
them.

Okay, 16.
You weren't even shaving.
I mean 2005,.
I was in high school.
I was probably 17.
Okay 16.
You weren't even shaving yet.
And the back of the van wasawesome because you know it was
this Nissan and you know it wasprobably a four-inch by
four-inch little TV with the VCRin the back.

Uh, I could just see you withyour little sour patch.
It is awesome.
But anyway, so we print out themap quest thing and you follow
that's how you used to.
You know you'd either get out amap or at this point you had
the internet a little bit, youknow, not wearing it, but so you
and you'd follow the sheets andit was all we're going from
oklahoma all the way in the orfrom here actually texas all the
way to nebr, nebraska.
And you know we didn't reallylook through the whole thing.
(37:38):
You know you start at the topand you just keep following the
instructions and you know we're,however many double digit hours
in to the drive and we'restarting to get to the last page
of it, and we finally get to it.
And oh, my mom, god love her.
The technology and again,mapquest was new.
Instead of getting directionsto Omaha and the stadium, she
(38:04):
just got directions to thecenter of Nebraska, which was
not anywhere near Omaha.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
And we didn't know
until the very end.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
We were like three or
four hours off, all right.

a game and meet my dad and doall this, and it was so fucking
hilarious.
