Gary breaks his silence, the boys talk some current events

Cold Open Question: Do you ever get the winter blues?

Gary has a rough start to the show.

We send a RIP to Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach. Brian is drinking a Coors Light while Gary is slumming with a Miller Lite.

After two weeks of relative silence, Gary unloads about a number of issues, including the ongoing pool installation, picking out tiles, delivery of the pavers and getting a quote from the electrician.

Gary describes his 2014 vehicle, which sounds like a jalopy, so the McDaniels are in the market for a new car. Brian explores Gary moonlighting as a school bus monitor in order to get to work.

RIP to Substack writer Grant Wahl, who died covering the World Cup in Qatar.

Brian discusses his 20-minute foray into the Twitter-verse on Saturday night, and openly wonders why Elon Musk even bothered to purchase the social media site.

The discussion moves into the role of Twitter in the American political system, leading Gary into a diatribe about the two-party system in America.

Staying with current events, the swap of Brittney Griner for the “Merchant of Death” Viktor Bout, is discussed.

Gary is still considering kicking his smoking habit when venturing overseas next year. Brian asks what kills more Americans each year — guns, automobiles or cigarettes?

Gary comes strong like a bull with News of the Weird, including downhill skiing Santas in Maine. The conversation quickly devolves into a discussion of beastiality, including reindeer and elves.

Brian asks Gary what’s on his Christmas list. Gary has not heard about the Battery Daddy. Gary shares his if-you-buy-me-only-one-thing for Christmas.

The boys discuss Christmas songs and one friend’s experience singing a karaoke verison of Counting Crows’ “A Long December.”
