I had to truck all of my daughter's bedroom furniture to Oxford MS late last week since she mistakenly had it all shipped to her mother's house in Dallas but I digress. The 8+ hour drive with an attached U-Haul trailer allowed me to finally work my way through all available episodes of The Musers: The Podcast. Not sure how long I'll stay with this long-term but it was a pretty good time-kill in the car. I'm not sure what they do once the run out of content about how they all met and then discuss their parents, etc but they each said this has been a lot of fun and less of a grind than doing the morning show. Gordo said he feels like he needs the structure of the morning show to keep him from flying off the rails.
Anyway, wondering about one thing from the seven shows that are in the can. I especially enjoyed the moment that George realized Gordo was on his side. Another host at the time was prank-calling Jub and it was awkward because Jub felt like it was threatening his family. He asked he host if he was one doing it and was told no. A short time later, the same host told him it was him that was doing it in fact and he asked Jub to hang around so they could bring him on and talk to him about it. Jub was so incensed he went to management and said if this was what they were going to do, if this is what they thought was funny, he was prepared to quit. Unbeknownst to him, Gordon went into the production room and deleted all the recordings of the calls, etc. Gordo never told Jub he did this. I think it was Bruce or the Laddy who told Jub that Gordo had done that. They'd never discussed the matter personally. Gordo apparently found out during the podcast episode that George knew all along he'd done that for him and knew from that moment they were on the same team.
I'm wondering who that host would've been. I moved to Dallas in August or September of 1998. Rocko was hosting the show right after the Musers (I think unless Chris Arnold with Corby as producer handled 10-12 and Rocko was noon-3) but he wasn't at The Ticket very long. This did, however, sound like something he could've been a part of but I don't know the year the incident above happened. Anybody know?
I also really enjoyed the story of the boys' first Ticket trip to the Super Bowl. George and Craig shared a room and Gordo got paird up with The Laddy. Gordo's story of The Laddy laying on his bed in his underwear with his head propped up by his shoulder and saying, "Well, I guess it's time for the apparatus." Visions of The Gimp scene from Pulp Fiction played thru Gordo's head. At that point, the Laddy produced the apparatus, which looked like a gas mask. Turns out it was a CPAP machine!
