Introduction to B&T Extra

The episode kicks off with Christopher welcoming listeners to another installment of B&T Extra, a segment dedicated to providing additional content beyond the standard morning broadcast. He outlines the episode’s main topics: sports opinions, electric snow skiing, and touchdown (TD) rules in the NFL, setting the stage for an engaging discussion [01:14].

Sports Opinions

Vanderbilt’s SEC Fine

The hosts delve into a recent event where Vanderbilt was fined $500,000 by the Southeastern Conference (SEC) after fans stormed the court following their victory over Kentucky. Christy Lee expresses her disapproval of the hefty fine:

Christy Lee ([06:06]): “The NCAA has to have a part. The $500,000 that Vanderbilt was fined by the NCAA seems a little steep to this reporter. That's my sports opinion. What's the problem?”

Tom Griswold questions the allocation of such a significant penalty:

Tom Griswold ([08:30]): “Where does that money go exactly?”

Ace Cosby and Josh Arnold contribute by comparing the fine to those imposed on Ohio State and Michigan for separate incidents, highlighting inconsistencies in enforcement [08:20].

Electric Snow Skis Innovation

The discussion shifts to technology in sports with a focus on a Swiss company’s debut of battery-powered cross-country skis, named E Skimo Eskimo. Christy Lee introduces the topic:

Christy Lee ([08:44]): “A Swiss company debuted a new pair of battery-powered cross country skis at this year's CES event.”

The hosts humorously critique the design and practicality of the electric skis:

Tom Griswold ([09:11]): “It looks like they've attached a standard... it looks like a walking tank. It’s really... ridiculous.”

Josh Arnold likens the skis to a Segway tour, suggesting they’re more of a tourist gimmick than a serious sporting innovation [09:35]. Chick McGee humorously envisions effortless skiing with the technology:

Chick McGee ([09:42]): “Imagine the ease.”

The conversation highlights both skepticism and amusement towards integrating such technology into traditional sports, with Christy Lee noting the potential benefits for muscle workouts and speed:

Christy Lee ([08:46]): “According to the website, the electric ski allows users to ascend 80% faster and experience 30% less of a muscle workout.”

NFL Touchdown Rules Debate

The show transitions to a spirited debate about what constitutes a complete touchdown in the NFL. Josh Arnold advocates for the rule that a touchdown should require the entire player to cross the end zone:

Josh Arnold ([15:07]): “A touchdown in the NFL should be a complete catch within the end zone. You can't live without it.”

Ace Cosby supports Arnold’s stance, emphasizing the importance of the ball itself crossing the plane:

Ace Cosby ([15:17]): “Like when they just cross the plane and they're not even whole body in the end zone.”

Tom Griswold adds a humorous twist by suggesting replacing pylons with immovable poles to enforce the rule strictly:

Tom Griswold ([15:56]): “So they could kill themselves.”

Christy Lee further critiques the current system and praises the new sports opinion feature:

Christy Lee ([17:41]): “This has been sports opinion. Oh, I like this feature. I like this very much.”

This segment highlights differing perspectives on sports rules, blending serious opinions with the show's characteristic humor.

Comedic Segment: Man Stuck on a Frozen Sidewalk

One of the episode’s standout moments is a humorous retelling of a bizarre incident where an inebriated man’s penis became stuck to a frozen sidewalk after a confrontation outside a bar in Fort McMurray. Pat Godwin performs a comedic monologue recounting the event:

Pat Godwin ([18:58]): “Well, I don't know why I'm fighting tonight. I was trying to drink Canada Dry. I'm so drunk, I almost fell off my chair. My pants fell down as they're grabbing my hair. Old bouncers got the best of me on a January night. Here I am stuck on the sidewalk like glue.”

Chick McGee continues the narrative with his own humorous embellishments:

Chick McGee ([19:19]): “My penis is stuck in my balls, too.”

The hosts engage in a playful discussion about possible remedies, including the impractical idea of urinating on the affected area to thaw the ice:

Josh Arnold ([21:22]): “Maybe he started peeing? Maybe it would have warmed up the ice around his wing.”

The segment combines slapstick humor with witty banter, illustrating the show's ability to entertain through outrageous storytelling.
