- Observation Deck: Gordo’s regular sponsored segment
- State Fair references: Discussion of Fletcher’s corn dogs, fitting with the show’s Texas focus
This portion showcases classic Musers content with one of their most absurd recurring characters, Chris Chris from sales, making increasingly ridiculous claims about his wealth and connections. The bit follows the typical pattern where Chris Chris’s boasts become more and more outrageous until something physical happens to end the segment – in this case, getting hit with a heavy book and jumping out a window.
The Observation Deck segment demonstrates Gordo’s ability to find humor in mundane news stories, turning a food safety recall into an entertaining discussion about corn dog history and regional food rivalries. The banter between hosts shows their natural chemistry, particularly in how they build off each other’s comments about food preferences.
The show maintains its signature blend of local Texas references (State Fair, Fletcher’s corn dogs), absurdist humor (Chris Chris’s claims), and the kind of meandering conversations that define The Ticket’s format. Even a simple news story about a food recall becomes an opportunity for deeper discussion about corn dog origins and food preferences, showing how the hosts can extract entertainment value from virtually any topic.

Gordo declared “this show needs to be put out of its misery because that is so insane” and suggested they should bring in anniversary cakes every day for old bits, ending with confusion about the September 25th date.
Notable quotes or moments:
- [00:08:16] “It infuses blandness into a burger. It’s like activated charcoal for a burger” – Gordo on avocado
- [00:06:25] “My arm was completely overcome by squirrel” – victim of the San Francisco squirrel attacks
- [00:10:52] “This show needs to be put out of its misery because that is so insane” – Gordo’s reaction to the obscure anniversary reference
Summary:
The final portion of The Musers featured two Observation Deck segments with Gordo covering a wide range of topics. He discussed the decline of print newspapers, referencing both the Dallas Morning News sale and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution going digital-only. He recommended a Netflix documentary called “The Unknown Number” about a high school catfishing scandal, describing all the participants as seeming “off the center.”
The most substantial discussion involved killer squirrels in San Francisco that have been attacking pedestrians, sending multiple people to the emergency room. The hosts speculated about whether squirrels can distinguish each other’s faces and theorized that the attacks might be from squirrels accustomed to being fed who get aggressive when people don’t provide food. This led to a tangent about which animals are vectors for various diseases, with armadillos carrying leprosy being confirmed.
The show concluded with a heated sandwich debate between turkey sandwiches, burgers, and BLTs, with Gordo passionately defending the BLT while criticizing trendy burger additions like avocado and eggs. The very end became chaotic as they tried to decode a listener’s reference to an 11-year-old show bit involving a “Marv Albert Donald Duck above ground love child,” leaving everyone confused and Gordo suggesting the show should be “put out of its misery” due to the absurdity of commemorating such obscure anniversaries.
