Ever wondered if a pun on a highway sign could actually make your drive safer? Buckle up as we navigate the debate sparked by a new federal manual that puts the brakes on highway hilarity, putting forth a 1100-page argument against those memorable electronic messages that tickle our funny bones. We're not just talking safety signs—we're engaging in a full-on discussion about the charm of road trip chuckles versus the government's concerns about driver distraction. Through the lens of both joy and practicality, we scrutinize the notion that perhaps, just perhaps, a sprinkle of wit on our journeys is the secret ingredient for keeping drivers alert and entertained.
Shift gears with us as we recount the amusing yet chilly plight of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes when his helmet couldn't take the freeze. It's not all fun and games; after all, sports safety is a serious ballgame, but we can't help crack a smile at the unexpected quirks of athletic life. With no guest to intercept, we solo tackle the convergence of high-tech sports gear and the prowess of a player like Mahomes, all served with a side of our staple humor. From discussing the role of helmet tech in safeguarding our sports heroes to appreciating the lighter, more human moments of the game, this episode is your ticket to a thoughtful chuckle and a fresh perspective on the peculiarities that pepper the world of sports and transport.

Whether you take it, it's notup to you.
Sometimes I force it down yourthroat, all right.
What is this saying?
What have we got going on?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
No joke, feds discourage humorous electronic
messages on highways.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, that's no fun.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
What kind of that's no fun.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I want my jokes.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Lame person wants to do this.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I don't know, but the only reason why I drove by
those signs sometimes was to seethose jokes.
Come on man.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
That's why I use the roads Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
This is discouraging.
All right, phoenix.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Phoenix, arizona.
It's no joke, a federal agencyis discouraging humorous and
quirky messages that coulddistract or confuse drivers on
highways and freeways across thecountry.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Good way.
Yeah, it's no wonder this isPhoenix.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I've been more distracted by looking for house
address.
You know who else I'd picturewould do this is Michigan.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Michigan would do this, and I feel like Phoenix
would do this, apparentlyColorado too, and then Colorado
would do this.
This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Phoenix is falling, not rising.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The Phoenix is frozen , frozen, yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Phoenix is freaking frozen now.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
All right.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
What else is going on ?
The federal highwayadministration recently released
and updated 1100 page manualthat spells out how signs and
other traffic control devicesare regulated.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
That sounds like one of those nerds you know, like,
okay, have you seen the polarexpress?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You know the kid who thinks he knows it all right,
and he's like Well, I got thatand he's like, but he's right,
see, technically Santa wouldn'texist and blah, blah, blah, blah
.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I feel like that's one of those guys who made up an
1100 page manual on why jokesshouldn't be on the highway.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
That's a very, very sad nerd.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's got to be the most narcissistic dude I've ever
.
Bro didn't have a childhood whomakes up an 1100 page manual.
He doesn't have a pet eitherI'm assuming now it does say how
signs and traffic devices too.
So there's a bunch of otherstuff in it.
But in other words, they'reusing this as a way to an excuse
(04:42):
.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah in it.
The agency strongly recommendsagainst overhead electronic
signs with obscure meanings,references to pop culture or
those intended to be funny.
Rather, sign should be simple,direct, brief, legible and clear
when relaying importantinformation, like warning
drivers of crashes overhead,adverse weather conditions and
(05:07):
traffic days.
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I agency said you know I disagree with all this
already.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's boring and it makes traffic work.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I don't read those signs.
I Don't read those signs.
If you're talking about thesimple direct signs, hey, this
crash warning blob this like.
I may look at them for a second.
But I'll tell you right now I'mnot even focused on those not
me either.
The signs that have a joke onthem that are funny.
Those are the signs I payattention to, so I disagree a
(05:36):
hundred percent with whatthey're doing right here, these,
these stupid like.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I'm singing in a sarcastic voice.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, this sounds like.
Hey, let's make everybody fallin line and follow our orders.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They're trying to make a sheet literally.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's not, it's not gonna work.
Nobody pays attention like ifit's a serious sign.
No, this is the funny part,though, if you ever watch
drivers on the road and nobodypays attention to the serious
stuff, except for when there'sflashing lights, and even then
people don't pay attention tothat when traffic's backed up.
People just want to know whathappened.
That's it.
(06:13):
They don't read those signs.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
They're craning their neck out their window trying to
see a head at least with a joke.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You could make these jokers chuckle a little bit, and
then they might actually readthe sign While you're driving by
it because with a joke don'tyou remember it more.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, because you're like all that was kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I'm more memorable, I think yes, and I think it makes
the road trips more fun.
This is somebody who talk abouta plane drive.
This is somebody oh.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I went down the highway and got to my destiny.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Whoever's saying this doesn't travel and they don't
travel with a family.
They don't have kids.
They obviously don't have kids.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
They don't have fun.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
They don't have anything that resembles Any kind
of safe travel, because whenyou're traveling with a family,
you want to have fun.
And you follow more rules whenit's funny.
I just I disagree 100% on thisone.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Oh, but seat belt reminders and warnings about the
dangers of speeding or drivingimpaired are allowed.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Hmm, they had to specify there about that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, that's loud.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, cuz it's another serious thing Nobody
pays attention to.
When's the last time you got it?
When you paid attention to aseat belt reminder?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I don't know anybody in my circle that cares about
seat belts I Want to put it onjust to not hear that now?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
disclaimer we all wear our seat belts, don't get
us wrong, but there's nobodyaround us that I know that's
gonna be like.
So serious about seat beltsthat like, if you don't remit,
if you don't read thosereminders on the highway, you're
gonna die.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Nobody, nobody reminders we need her in the car
.
Yeah, nobody cares.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
This is the stupidest thing ever.
I don't understand this.
I would rather have quirkymessages, and look, there's
gonna be four more paragraphs onhow quirky messages distract
drivers.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Give me a break states around the country have
used quirky messaging to drawthe attention of drivers.
Among them, use y'all blinker,see I love that.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
There's nothing wrong with that and it definitely
tells you what to do use yourblinker.
Like yeah, stop messing around.
Like and it's funny now If youjust say, please Use your flash
sheet and blinker On the side ofthe road, I'm not gonna look at
that.
No, no one's gonna care.
But these guys are genius thatmake these funny messages
(08:36):
visiting in laws.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Slow down, get there late, yes, drive.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Star-spangled hammered love that, love.
That's kind of quirky, kind offunny.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Okay, it's focused.
Drive with focus.
That's a good one from.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Nussy.
Everybody I know grew up withhocus pocus.
They would love that.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Are you kidding me?
And hands on the wheel, notyour meal from Arizona.
Hold up Phoenix, really.
I mean this.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Arizona, yeah like don't take away it, bro.
I really, again, I have nothingmore to say to this article.
I don't know about you.
You want to quit it?
Yeah, I have nothing more tosay to this.
This is, this is the stupidestthing ever.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Well, hold on there.
Let me read this for fast.
There is a representativeapparently says the humor part
of it we kind of like said rep.
State rep David Cook, aRepublican from Globe oh Phoenix
, told Phoenix TV station CB5.
I think in Arizona the majorityof us do, if not all of us.
He said he doesn't understandthe fuss exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Exactly.
Even state officials are likedon't do this.
This makes you sound like anarcissistic nerd who wants to
like Basically communism,everything and make everything
serious.
I think people just take lifetoo seriously and I think I
think all of us in the states,if not the whole world, would
(10:01):
have more fun if we took it lessseriously.
Well, yeah like this is crazy.
All right, yeah, that's it.
I'm done with that.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I don't need to see anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't see and I don't need to see anymore.
I disagree 100%, and you do too, so I I Know hey, turn on your
blanket.
No, right, so we talked aboutthat.
I do love talking about funnystuff.
We could talk about one seriousthing.
This is something that happenedlast week.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Do I have to be serious?
No, of course not, I can't, Ican't do it, man, I just, you
don't have to be serious if youcan make not entirely, at least
if you can make Everything inlife funny.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
now, one thing that's not funny but it is kind of
funny, I Uh is concussions, andconcussions are not funny, but
to joke, to joke about bangingyour head off the side of a wall
is kind of funny.
Um it's not funny, but it is.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
With dealing with it and you're like dude, you okay.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
No, I'm not, Listen, we've.
The reason why I'm laughing isbecause we've all injured
ourselves in one way or anotherand we know, we know the
consequences of our injuries.
We do it anyway.
All right that every day sirthese guys get paid to do it.
Uh, patrick Mahomes helmetshatter during last week's
playoff game shattered.
The manufacturer says it, quoteunquote did its job.
(11:27):
Now what does he refer to?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It did his job.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
What do you mean?
It did his job.
What?
What happened?
So they got pictures of PatrickMahomes here.
This is who he is, in case youdidn't know.
He's the one is quarterback isthe quarterback of the Kansas
city chiefs, is also one of thebest quarterbacks, which I hate
because he's really good.
So any teams that you like, hedestroys your hopes sometimes um
(11:52):
because he's really good, likehe could be being tackled and he
get to the like he would throwthe ball and get it perfectly to
where he wants it to go, whilebeing tackled or, like you know,
smashed into the ground.
Yeah, because no matter what youdo, even if you tackle this guy
, he still gets the ball wherehe needs to get it to go.
So really yeah, he's that goodand he's got a gift.
(12:16):
The manufacturer of the helmetthat chiefs quarterback Patrick
Mahomes shattered during theirAFC wildcard game with Miami
says it did its job quoteunquote by protecting the league
MVP during a head to headimpact.
Well, I didn't know.
It was head to head.
That's brutal In unprecedentedcold temperatures.
(12:36):
The game Saturday night,saturday night was the fourth
coldest game in NFL history.
The temperature at kickoff wasminus four degrees Fahrenheit
and the winds, gusting to morethan 25 miles an hour, made the
wind chill approach a minus 30during the game.
So very cold game.
I don't know if I'd be able toplay.
Extreme conditions like thoseare bound to test the limits of
(12:59):
even the highest performingproducts Products, certain
sports, which makes the viciouszero to helmet that Mahomes was
wearing said in a statementWednesday Okay, mahomes, I don't
have a picture of the helmet.
I wish we could see a pictureof the helmet.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Did you read that yet ?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, not specifics yet Hold on.
Mahomes was scrambling towardthe end zone in the second half
of the chiefs I don't think Isaw this because I did watch
that game, but I didn't see thispart of 26 to seven victory.
When he was hit by Dolphinsafety DeSean Elliott, their
(13:38):
helmets clashed so it was headto head and, likely because of
the extreme cold, made the outershell brittle.
A fist size chunk went flyingfrom my home's helmet just above
the face mask covered coveringhis left eye.
Okay, so in like the wholething.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
No, it wasn't the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
No, it wasn't the whole thing, it was just like a
chunk of it, so maybe they'rejust making out a shadow ring
that's splintering.
Yeah, like if anything.
I mean it does sound like thatit did crack.
I think, yeah, it sounds like.
It sounds like it did his job,even though it was like a chunk
of it.
Let me see.
Do they have a picture of it?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
They have these other pictures but you don't want to
know that's him.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, they're not showing it.
I would have liked to see in achunk of the helmet.
Yeah, they have pictures, butthey don't have like the picture
of the helmet Would have likedto see in the helmet.
Basically it goes into thehelmet technology and what it's
supposed to do it's in her stiffshell, wrapped around plastic.
(14:49):
That sounds super durable.
Engineered to absorb anddisperse energy at the point of
impact.
So basically it did, is I guessit does job and we only see
like like a portion of hishelmet got shattered.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
But I want you to know about this guy.
So what Do you know?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
my homes, I don't know stats, but I know that he's
really good and I've seen himplay.
He's ridiculous and it's not.
This is like the first time ina long time he's ever had helmet
to helmet contact with anybody.
So but I guarantee if thehelmet wasn't there, we'd
probably be looking at two majorconcussions right now.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The other day would bigger.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
They're probably like they might have been around the
same size.
I don't know what ElliottDeshaun looks like.
Impact tremors they're prettybig guys, so yeah, I don't know,
but as far as that, you won'tsee me playing out negative 30
degrees, that's for sure.
Come on, you know, you want toWell, they paid me millions of
(15:54):
dollars, maybe like they payPatrick Holmes.
I mean, yeah, you get paidmillions of dollars.
You might want to be out in thecold playing anywhere that kind
of money.
I think you would.
I think if you got paidmillions of dollars to play
anywhere you probably would,where you play or yeah, I mean I
understand below freezing, Iguess we do have the rest of the
playoffs coming up.
(16:15):
Maybe, maybe we'll maybe we'llsee some more shattered helmets,
who knows?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Put some thermals in them.
Uniform like that.
That's a lot of money, dude.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
One funny idea I had was they do have this thing
where they mic up the players.
Sometimes they have like micson the players so you can hear
what they're saying, and forextra shows they'll have like
then we'll have it on main TVbut they'll have like behind the
scenes extra shows on what theysay during the game.
It is hilarious.
If you have never heard whatmic'd up players sound like
(16:48):
during a football game, it isone of the funniest things ever.
I think they should turn itinto like a full scale reality
show.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I think they should have snow suits one snow suit
and one regular suit.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
What's up with that?
Well, and I think so too.
Okay, so here's the problem.
We were watching a game lastweek and, just like what you
were talking about, they hadthis game where it was cold but
the players didn't wear theirgear, like they still went out
with the t-shirts and they gothypothermia.
The why wouldn't they weartheir gear?
(17:25):
They got plenty of under armorand stuff to wear.
Half of more than half of themdidn't have any of the gear on,
like the long sleeves oranything, are they losing
themselves?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And then?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
they had an article the following week or news
report of them gettinghypothermia.
Well, no wonder you gothypothermia.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You didn't wear the gear you had and wear what
you're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
So if they did have a snow suit, like an under armor,
snow thermal thing, whatever,you'd have to make the players
wear it, because sometimes theydo not.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I'd be asking her to make me a uniform.
Like an official car Now thatwould be a crazy Call body, that
would be a suit, you know thatwould be hilarious, that'd be
great.
You think about it.
Just can you imagine the wholeteam run around and Bro new show
idea Carhartt football.
Carhartt football.
Hey, you heard it first year onWWE Carhartt football.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, Don't you go out there and license that?
That is our idea.
Carhartt football Right, thatwould be harder too, because
you'd have that weight on you.
It would be way morechallenging.
I think they should do that forone of the survival case.
Carhartt football.
(18:35):
Break that down on our idealyeah we're going to put that on
the show itinerary.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Carhartt football the wazoo dude.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
All right.
Well, that's all we got fortoday.
We'll see you next time on theWWE.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Thank you for being weird.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Thank you for being weird.
Also, remember to check us outon IG and Facebook.
World World variety with Mattand Jesse.
If you've got ideas for theshow, please message them to us
and we'll try to get them on theshow.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Maybe we should say don't message us.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, leave us alone, don't.
Yeah, don't message us.
All right, guys Later, allright.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right
(21:29):
.
You know the kid who thinks he knows it all right,
and he's like well, I got thatsome time and he's right.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
but he's right, see, technically Santa wouldn't exist
and blah, blah, blah, blah,blah.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I feel like that's one of those guys who made up an
1100 page manual on why jokesshouldn't be on the highway.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh no, the next article says no joke.
Should I be serious about it?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well, it's telling you not to joke about it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
So maybe this is going to be very, very hard for
me Very.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
are you a joking guy?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You know, I am.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Are you a joke kind of guy I?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
joke about the grass being green.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
If the listeners have listened to us for a while, you
think they would think we werefunny.
Speaker 3 (01:30):

It's called X now.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Why the heck would they change?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
it from Twitter to X, I don't know.
Okay, it's because most of thestuff on Twitter was toxic.
Anyway, you're toxic too, but Imean, hey, my toxicity is not
there, your toxicity is verylittle.
Mine's very healthy for you.
Mine's very healthy.
Toxicity it's that medicinethat you don't want to take, but
(02:19):
you know it's going to make youbetter in the end.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
That's my kind of toxicity, I think I'd still
avoid that medicine.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
That's me.
Whether you take it, it's notup to you.
Sometimes I force it down yourthroat, all right.
What is this saying?
What have we got going on?
Speaker 3 (02:35):

messages on highways.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
The Phoenix is frozen , frozen, yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Phoenix is freaking frozen now.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
All right.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
What else is going on ?
The federal highwayadministration recently released
and updated 1100 page manualthat spells out how signs and
other traffic control devicesare regulated.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
That sounds like one of those nerds you know, like,
okay, have you seen the polarexpress?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You know the kid who thinks he knows it all right,
and he's like Well, I got thatand he's like, but he's right,
see, technically Santa wouldn'texist and blah, blah, blah, blah
.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I feel like that's one of those guys who made up an
1100 page manual on why jokesshouldn't be on the highway.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
That's a very, very sad nerd.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's got to be the most narcissistic dude I've ever
.
Bro didn't have a childhood whomakes up an 1100 page manual.
He doesn't have a pet eitherI'm assuming now it does say how
signs and traffic devices too.
So there's a bunch of otherstuff in it.
But in other words, they'reusing this as a way to an excuse
(04:42):
.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah in it.
The agency strongly recommendsagainst overhead electronic
signs with obscure meanings,references to pop culture or
those intended to be funny.
Rather, sign should be simple,direct, brief, legible and clear
when relaying importantinformation, like warning
drivers of crashes overhead,adverse weather conditions and
(05:07):
traffic days.
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I agency said you know I disagree with all this
already.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's boring and it makes traffic work.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I don't read those signs.
I Don't read those signs.
If you're talking about thesimple direct signs, hey, this
crash warning blob this like.
I may look at them for a second.
But I'll tell you right now I'mnot even focused on those not
me either.
The signs that have a joke onthem that are funny.
Those are the signs I payattention to, so I disagree a
(05:36):
hundred percent with whatthey're doing right here, these,
these stupid like.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I'm singing in a sarcastic voice.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, this sounds like.
Hey, let's make everybody fallin line and follow our orders.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
They're trying to make a sheet literally.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's not, it's not gonna work.
Nobody pays attention like ifit's a serious sign.
No, this is the funny part,though, if you ever watch
drivers on the road and nobodypays attention to the serious
stuff, except for when there'sflashing lights, and even then
people don't pay attention tothat when traffic's backed up.
People just want to know whathappened.
That's it.
(06:13):
They don't read those signs.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
They're craning their neck out their window trying to
see a head at least with a joke.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You could make these jokers chuckle a little bit, and
then they might actually readthe sign While you're driving by
it because with a joke don'tyou remember it more.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, because you're like all that was kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I'm more memorable, I think yes, and I think it makes
the road trips more fun.
This is somebody who talk abouta plane drive.
This is somebody oh.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I went down the highway and got to my destiny.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Whoever's saying this doesn't travel and they don't
travel with a family.
They don't have kids.
They obviously don't have kids.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
They don't have fun.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
They don't have anything that resembles Any kind
of safe travel, because whenyou're traveling with a family,
you want to have fun.
And you follow more rules whenit's funny.
I just I disagree 100% on thisone.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Oh, but seat belt reminders and warnings about the
dangers of speeding or drivingimpaired are allowed.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Hmm, they had to specify there about that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, that's loud.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, cuz it's another serious thing Nobody
pays attention to.
When's the last time you got it?
When you paid attention to aseat belt reminder?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I don't know anybody in my circle that cares about
seat belts I Want to put it onjust to not hear that now?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
disclaimer we all wear our seat belts, don't get
us wrong, but there's nobodyaround us that I know that's
gonna be like.
So serious about seat beltsthat like, if you don't remit,
if you don't read thosereminders on the highway, you're
gonna die.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Nobody, nobody reminders we need her in the car
.
Yeah, nobody cares.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
This is the stupidest thing ever.
I don't understand this.
I would rather have quirkymessages, and look, there's
gonna be four more paragraphs onhow quirky messages distract
drivers.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Give me a break states around the country have
used quirky messaging to drawthe attention of drivers.
Among them, use y'all blinker,see I love that.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
There's nothing wrong with that and it definitely
tells you what to do use yourblinker.
Like yeah, stop messing around.
Like and it's funny now If youjust say, please Use your flash
sheet and blinker On the side ofthe road, I'm not gonna look at
that.
No, no one's gonna care.
But these guys are genius thatmake these funny messages
(08:36):
visiting in laws.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Slow down, get there late, yes, drive.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Star-spangled hammered love that, love.
That's kind of quirky, kind offunny.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Okay, it's focused.
Drive with focus.
That's a good one from.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Nussy.
Everybody I know grew up withhocus pocus.
They would love that.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Are you kidding me?
And hands on the wheel, notyour meal from Arizona.
Hold up Phoenix, really.
I mean this.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Arizona, yeah like don't take away it, bro.
I really, again, I have nothingmore to say to this article.
I don't know about you.
You want to quit it?
Yeah, I have nothing more tosay to this.
This is, this is the stupidestthing ever.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Well, hold on there.
Let me read this for fast.
There is a representativeapparently says the humor part
of it we kind of like said rep.
State rep David Cook, aRepublican from Globe oh Phoenix
, told Phoenix TV station CB5.
I think in Arizona the majorityof us do, if not all of us.
He said he doesn't understandthe fuss exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Exactly.
Even state officials are likedon't do this.
This makes you sound like anarcissistic nerd who wants to
like Basically communism,everything and make everything
serious.
I think people just take lifetoo seriously and I think I
think all of us in the states,if not the whole world, would
(10:01):
have more fun if we took it lessseriously.
Well, yeah like this is crazy.
All right, yeah, that's it.
I'm done with that.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I don't need to see anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I don't see and I don't need to see anymore.
I disagree 100%, and you do too, so I I Know hey, turn on your
blanket.
No, right, so we talked aboutthat.
I do love talking about funnystuff.
We could talk about one seriousthing.
This is something that happenedlast week.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Do I have to be serious?
No, of course not, I can't, Ican't do it, man, I just, you
don't have to be serious if youcan make not entirely, at least
if you can make Everything inlife funny.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
now, one thing that's not funny but it is kind of
funny, I Uh is concussions, andconcussions are not funny, but
to joke, to joke about bangingyour head off the side of a wall
is kind of funny.
Um it's not funny, but it is.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
With dealing with it and you're like dude, you okay.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
No, I'm not, Listen, we've.
The reason why I'm laughing isbecause we've all injured
ourselves in one way or anotherand we know, we know the
consequences of our injuries.
We do it anyway.
All right that every day sirthese guys get paid to do it.
Uh, patrick Mahomes helmetshatter during last week's
playoff game shattered.
The manufacturer says it, quoteunquote did its job.
(11:27):
Now what does he refer to?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
It did his job.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
What do you mean?
It did his job.
What?
What happened?
So they got pictures of PatrickMahomes here.
This is who he is, in case youdidn't know.
He's the one is quarterback isthe quarterback of the Kansas
city chiefs, is also one of thebest quarterbacks, which I hate
because he's really good.
So any teams that you like, hedestroys your hopes sometimes um
(11:52):
because he's really good, likehe could be being tackled and he
get to the like he would throwthe ball and get it perfectly to
where he wants it to go, whilebeing tackled or, like you know,
smashed into the ground.
Yeah, because no matter what youdo, even if you tackle this guy
, he still gets the ball wherehe needs to get it to go.
So really yeah, he's that goodand he's got a gift.
(12:16):
The manufacturer of the helmetthat chiefs quarterback Patrick
Mahomes shattered during theirAFC wildcard game with Miami
says it did its job quoteunquote by protecting the league
MVP during a head to headimpact.
Well, I didn't know.
It was head to head.
That's brutal In unprecedentedcold temperatures.
(12:36):
The game Saturday night,saturday night was the fourth
coldest game in NFL history.
The temperature at kickoff wasminus four degrees Fahrenheit
and the winds, gusting to morethan 25 miles an hour, made the
wind chill approach a minus 30during the game.
So very cold game.
I don't know if I'd be able toplay.
Extreme conditions like thoseare bound to test the limits of
(12:59):
even the highest performingproducts Products, certain
sports, which makes the viciouszero to helmet that Mahomes was
wearing said in a statementWednesday Okay, mahomes, I don't
have a picture of the helmet.
I wish we could see a pictureof the helmet.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Did you read that yet ?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, not specifics yet Hold on.
Mahomes was scrambling towardthe end zone in the second half
of the chiefs I don't think Isaw this because I did watch
that game, but I didn't see thispart of 26 to seven victory.
When he was hit by Dolphinsafety DeSean Elliott, their
(13:38):
helmets clashed so it was headto head and, likely because of
the extreme cold, made the outershell brittle.
A fist size chunk went flyingfrom my home's helmet just above
the face mask covered coveringhis left eye.
Okay, so in like the wholething.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
No, it wasn't the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
No, it wasn't the whole thing, it was just like a
chunk of it, so maybe they'rejust making out a shadow ring
that's splintering.
Yeah, like if anything.
I mean it does sound like thatit did crack.
I think, yeah, it sounds like.
It sounds like it did his job,even though it was like a chunk
of it.
Let me see.
Do they have a picture of it?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
They have these other pictures but you don't want to
know that's him.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, they're not showing it.
I would have liked to see in achunk of the helmet.
Yeah, they have pictures, butthey don't have like the picture
of the helmet Would have likedto see in the helmet.
Basically it goes into thehelmet technology and what it's
supposed to do it's in her stiffshell, wrapped around plastic.
(14:49):
That sounds super durable.
Engineered to absorb anddisperse energy at the point of
impact.
So basically it did, is I guessit does job and we only see
like like a portion of hishelmet got shattered.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
But I want you to know about this guy.
So what Do you know?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
my homes, I don't know stats, but I know that he's
really good and I've seen himplay.
He's ridiculous and it's not.
This is like the first time ina long time he's ever had helmet
to helmet contact with anybody.
So but I guarantee if thehelmet wasn't there, we'd
probably be looking at two majorconcussions right now.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
The other day would bigger.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
They're probably like they might have been around the
same size.
I don't know what ElliottDeshaun looks like.
Impact tremors they're prettybig guys, so yeah, I don't know,
but as far as that, you won'tsee me playing out negative 30
degrees, that's for sure.
Come on, you know, you want toWell, they paid me millions of
(15:54):
dollars, maybe like they payPatrick Holmes.
I mean, yeah, you get paidmillions of dollars.
You might want to be out in thecold playing anywhere that kind
of money.
I think you would.
I think if you got paidmillions of dollars to play
anywhere you probably would,where you play or yeah, I mean I
understand below freezing, Iguess we do have the rest of the
playoffs coming up.
(16:15):
Maybe, maybe we'll maybe we'llsee some more shattered helmets,
who knows?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Put some thermals in them.
Uniform like that.
That's a lot of money, dude.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
One funny idea I had was they do have this thing
where they mic up the players.
Sometimes they have like micson the players so you can hear
what they're saying, and forextra shows they'll have like
then we'll have it on main TVbut they'll have like behind the
scenes extra shows on what theysay during the game.
It is hilarious.
If you have never heard whatmic'd up players sound like
(16:48):
during a football game, it isone of the funniest things ever.
I think they should turn itinto like a full scale reality
show.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I think they should have snow suits one snow suit
and one regular suit.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
What's up with that?
Well, and I think so too.
Okay, so here's the problem.
We were watching a game lastweek and, just like what you
were talking about, they hadthis game where it was cold but
the players didn't wear theirgear, like they still went out
with the t-shirts and they gothypothermia.
The why wouldn't they weartheir gear?
(17:25):
They got plenty of under armorand stuff to wear.
Half of more than half of themdidn't have any of the gear on,
like the long sleeves oranything, are they losing
themselves?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And then?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
they had an article the following week or news
report of them gettinghypothermia.
Well, no wonder you gothypothermia.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
You didn't wear the gear you had and wear what
you're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
So if they did have a snow suit, like an under armor,
snow thermal thing, whatever,you'd have to make the players
wear it, because sometimes theydo not.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I'd be asking her to make me a uniform.
Like an official car Now thatwould be a crazy Call body, that
would be a suit, you know thatwould be hilarious, that'd be
great.
You think about it.
Just can you imagine the wholeteam run around and Bro new show
idea Carhartt football.
Carhartt football.
Hey, you heard it first year onWWE Carhartt football.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, Don't you go out there and license that?
That is our idea.
Carhartt football Right, thatwould be harder too, because
you'd have that weight on you.
It would be way morechallenging.
I think they should do that forone of the survival case.
Carhartt football.
(18:35):
Break that down on our idealyeah we're going to put that on
the show itinerary.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Carhartt football the wazoo dude.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
All right.
Well, that's all we got fortoday.
We'll see you next time on theWWE.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Thank you for being weird.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Thank you for being weird.
