ποΈ Early Show Analysis
Segments
Fake Tiger Woods (00:00:00 – 06:27): The hosts call “Tiger Woods” to get his thoughts on the U.S. Open won by J.J. Spahn. The fake Tiger discusses supporting his “fellow cobbler nation” countryman, reminisces about his 2008 U.S. Open victory, takes shots at Phil Mickelson missing the cut, and ends with a bizarre, stream-of-consciousness story about his father Earl that becomes increasingly absurd and graphic.
Fathers Day Talk (00:00:02 – 05:16): Junior Miller hosts a Father’s Day-themed Weekend Digest segment, sharing personal reflections about missing his late father while celebrating his first Father’s Day as a dad. He describes taking his daughter to the Perot Museum and observing behavioral differences between boys and girls on the playground.
Sports Topics Discussed
- Golf: Extended discussion of the U.S. Open won by J.J. Spahn, Tiger Woods’ 2008 U.S. Open victory over Rocco Mediate, Scottie Scheffler’s putting struggles, Phil Mickelson missing the cut, and general commentary on the current state of professional golf
Debates or Strong Opinions
- Gender differences (04:20 – 04:02): Junior observes clear behavioral differences between boys and girls on playgrounds, with George warning him that “some people get tense with there being any difference between boys and girls,” leading to a brief discussion about the sensitivity of such observations
Funny Moments and Memorable Quotes

- “Make golf great again”: Tiger’s political reference while plugging “red hats in my online store” (02:14 – 02:20)
- Earl Woods origin story: An incredibly long, absurd, and inappropriate stream-of-consciousness tale about Tiger’s conception that involves everything from Pearl Harbor to Caitlin Clark erotica (04:40 – 05:49)
- George’s response: “Why would she text him her location?” after Tiger’s bizarre story (05:54)
Recurring Bits and Inside Jokes
- Fake Tiger Woods calls: The hosts regularly call a fake Tiger Woods character for golf commentary, claiming they’re “the only show that he’ll pick up for”
- Weekend Digest: Junior Miller’s regular segment, though modified for Father’s Day content
- E-Brake references: Brief mention of E.A. Azad in the context of bad putting
The Fake Tiger Woods segment showcased classic Musers absurdist comedy, starting with relatively normal golf talk before spiraling into complete chaos with the Earl Woods origin story. The bit demonstrated Gordo’s talent for sustained improvisation and boundary-pushing humor that gradually becomes more unhinged. Meanwhile, the other hosts played their typical roles as straight men trying to navigate the increasingly bizarre conversation.
The Father’s Day segment revealed Junior Miller’s more personal side as he reflected on the bittersweet nature of celebrating his first Father’s Day while missing his late father. His observations about his daughter at the Perot Museum provided genuine moments of parental insight, though even this heartfelt segment included some controversy when he made observations about gender differences that George warned might be sensitive.
The overall portion demonstrated the show’s range from completely absurd comedy bits to sincere personal reflection, with sports serving as both the launching pad for creative segments and genuine discussion material. The contrast between Tiger’s ridiculous ramblings and Junior’s thoughtful Father’s Day reflections highlighted the show’s ability to shift tones dramatically while maintaining its distinctive voice.

Summary:
The final portion of The Musers centered around two main topics during their Observation Deck segment. The bulk of the discussion focused on Gordo’s exciting new venture voicing Jerry Jones in an upcoming Adult Swim animated series. He detailed the audition process, explaining how one of the creators, Hugh, had tracked him down specifically for his trademark “fake Jerry” voice that listeners know from the radio show. Gordo revealed he’s already recorded 10 episodes for the first season, and interestingly, the producers specifically wanted his cartoony version of Jerry rather than a more realistic impression.
The conversation revealed some behind-the-scenes details about the production process, including how Gordo records at a Dallas studio while the LA-based creators read lines with him via video link. He expressed some initial concern about potential vulgarity in the scripts given that it’s for Adult Swim, but was relieved to find that the Jerry character rarely uses profanity, likely to avoid legal headaches with the real Jerry Jones and his family.
The show wrapped up with a discussion of the 50th anniversary of Jaws, with the hosts sharing personal memories of seeing the film and Gordo providing interesting production trivia, including how the mechanical shark’s failure in salt water actually improved the movie by making the threat more implied than explicit. The hosts noted that NBC would be airing the film on June 20th to commemorate the anniversary, with all four Jaws movies becoming available on Peacock, though they warned that only the first two films were worth watching.
