- Killer (engineer) – Technical meltdown during a replay of the famous Javier interview from New Orleans, where audio wasn’t going over the air but he could hear it in the studio
- Sean Bass – Said “ejaculate” followed immediately by someone’s name while discussing the Justin Tucker massage scandal story
Davey Lane won the vote.

Recurring bits and inside jokes:

- Reference to the legendary Javier interview from New Orleans
- Character calls like “triple fake Brian Schottenheimer”
- Various listener shout-outs and inside references
The E-Brake segment showcased three classic examples of on-air mishaps from the week, with Davey Lane’s inappropriate dinosaur commentary taking the crown. The segment began with Davey’s cringe-worthy attempt to discuss a movie plot about extracting dinosaur DNA for medical purposes, which quickly devolved into explicit sexual references and accompanying hand gestures that listeners obviously couldn’t see. His colleagues’ mortified reactions and attempts to rein him in only made the moment more uncomfortable and hilarious.
The second candidate featured a technical disaster during what should have been a simple replay of a beloved station moment – Gordo’s interview with Javier from New Orleans. Engineer Killer froze up when he could hear the audio in the studio but it wasn’t broadcasting to listeners, creating dead air and confusion. The third candidate involved Sean Bass’s clinical discussion of the Justin Tucker scandal, where his matter-of-fact delivery of explicit details followed immediately by saying someone’s name created an unintentionally hilarious and inappropriate moment.
The listener voting was enthusiastic, with callers ranging from straightforward votes to character impressions and inside jokes. Davey Lane ultimately won, continuing what the hosts described as a strong year for his E-Brake performances. The segment perfectly captured The Ticket’s blend of sports talk, technical mishaps, and the kind of boundary-pushing humor that can go sideways in spectacular fashion on live radio.

This portion of The Musers showcased classic Gordo field reporting from Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, where he conducted his trademark awkward but entertaining man-on-the-street interviews. His conversation with security guard James Jackson from Alabama provided typical Gordo gold, veering from sports talk into uncomfortable territory about dream girls and dead celebrities. The segment demonstrated Gordo’s ability to find interesting characters and extract unexpectedly personal information through his unconventional interview style.
The show also wrapped up an E-Brake segment where Dave apparently made inappropriate comments about dinosaur DNA and cancer cures, complete with unfortunate hand gestures on radio. This led to his 21st E-Brake win, with the hosts noting he’s still far behind the fictional all-time leader. The juxtaposition of Gordo’s professional-yet-absurd Super Bowl coverage with the juvenile E-Brake content exemplified The Ticket’s blend of legitimate sports talk and comedic chaos.
The Super Bowl content provided genuine insight into the media circus surrounding the big game, while Gordo’s dismissive attitude toward the ESPN broadcaster (“too much broadcast voice”) reflected The Ticket’s irreverent stance toward traditional sports media. His ability to get the Alabama security guard to open up about everything from high school football championships to celebrity crushes demonstrated why his wireless segments remain a show highlight.
