This portion of The Musers opened with George Dunham sharing a deeply personal story about his youngest son Scott’s recent wedding. The emotional segment traced Scott’s life from his birth 25 years ago (named after Cowboys coach Tom Landry) through his childhood appearances on The Ticket, including memorable drops and a Mr. Brightside performance that even played at Dallas Stars games, to his marriage to high school sweetheart Kaylee after 10 years of dating.
The show then transitioned to their annual State Fair tradition with Big Tex, featuring increasingly inappropriate and crude announcements about fair activities. The character discussed relationship troubles with Mrs. Big Tex, digestive issues from fair food, and made various off-color observations about fair attractions, all delivered in the classic Big Tex voice and manner.
The portion concluded with a brief Fake Tiger Woods interview about the Ryder Cup, where the impersonated golfer sounded more like a child restricted from phone use by his mother. The bit touched on fan behavior at the Ryder Cup, including incidents involving Rory McIlroy’s wife, while maintaining the show’s typical irreverent tone throughout the sports discussion.
⏰ Mid-Show Analysis
Segments that appeared in this portion:
- Fake Tiger: A comedic bit featuring Gordo impersonating Tiger Woods discussing the Ryder Cup, with increasingly absurd commentary about not wanting to be Ryder Cup captain because America always loses, mentions of castles, Lucky Charms cereal being discovered in Ireland, and bizarre stories involving his father “Earl”
- Observation Deck: Gordo’s regular segment discussing a British Airways flight attendant named Hayden Pentecost who was found naked and high on methamphetamine in an airplane bathroom during a transatlantic flight
Observation Deck segment:
[00:00:00-00:11:52] Gordo discussed the story of British Airways flight attendant Hayden Pentecost, who was discovered naked and high on drugs in a plane bathroom during a San Francisco to Heathrow flight. The discussion covered his erratic behavior, consumption of 15-20 bottles of water, inability to identify the year or US president, and subsequent legal consequences. The hosts also shared personal experiences with disruptive passengers on flights, including George’s encounters with an erratic passenger detained by military personnel using boot laces and a college football player who caused disturbances.
Funny moments, Gordo bits, or memorable one-liners:
- [00:03:24] Fake Tiger’s reasoning for not wanting to be Ryder Cup captain: “Because I don’t like to lose and it’s guaranteed that we’ll lose”
- [00:04:14] Fake Tiger wanting to go to Ireland “because that’s where Lucky Charms cereal was discovered”
- [00:03:16] The absurd fake name “Hayden Pentecost” prompting Gordo to riff on fake names like “Hayden Assumption Armageddon Pentecost”
- [00:05:45-00:07:06] An extremely elaborate and inappropriate monologue about Tiger’s father Earl that becomes increasingly unhinged
- [00:08:59] Discussion of suspended sentences being confusing, with George wondering if it means “you get a year to play lottery or something”
Pop culture, music, or non-sports topics discussed:
- British Airways uniforms and airline partnerships
- The terminology debate over “stewardesses” vs “flight attendants”
- How people treat service workers as a character indicator
- Legal sentencing structures and suspended sentences
- Personal anecdotes about disruptive airline passengers
This portion of The Musers showcased two distinct segments highlighting the show’s range from observational comedy to absurdist character work. The Observation Deck segment demonstrated Gordo’s ability to find humor in bizarre news stories while maintaining some genuine discussion about air travel experiences, with George contributing personal anecdotes about problematic passengers he’s encountered.
The Fake Tiger segment exemplified the show’s willingness to push comedic boundaries, starting with relatively mild golf commentary before devolving into increasingly outrageous territory. Gordo’s impersonation captured both Tiger’s speaking patterns and created an alternate reality version with bizarre family dynamics and nonsensical historical references.
The contrast between these segments illustrates The Musers’ format versatility, seamlessly transitioning from semi-serious cultural commentary about airline incidents and passenger behavior to completely unhinged character comedy. Both segments maintained the show’s signature blend of sports awareness, cultural observation, and irreverent humor that has defined their Dallas radio presence.

Summary:

The conversation covers golf fans’ poor behavior, Tiger’s relationships, and culminates in an absolutely unhinged and graphic origin story that incorporates everything from the Lusitania to various historical events in the most absurd way possible.
The show then transitions to Gordo’s Observation Deck segment, sponsored by Tylot-George Eye Care, focusing on a bizarre news story about a British Airways flight attendant named Hayden Pentecost who was discovered naked and high on methamphetamine in an airplane bathroom during a transatlantic flight. The discussion explores the incident’s details, including the employee’s erratic behavior, massive water consumption, and eventual dismissal.
The segment concludes with the hosts sharing experiences about in-flight disturbances, with George recounting two memorable incidents – one involving military personnel restraining an erratic passenger with boot laces, and another featuring an upset college football player that was too large for anyone to physically control. The casual, conversational tone about these serious situations exemplifies The Ticket’s signature blend of humor and storytelling that makes even disturbing news somehow entertaining.
