[Host (possibly Ryan)]

for the fresh out of bed, head to head challenge. Listeners, to your corners. Yo, Jim.

[Jim]

Yo, Rod.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Where's the chopper?

[Coach David]

This is his desk job.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Get to that chopper.

[Jim]

No chop up today.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

All right. No chopper. All right, bro.

[Coach David]

Are you in bed? What are you doing?

[Jim]

I got up. I slept in a little bit. I got up at 5:30. I usually get up at 4.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Okay.

[Jim]

Trying to. Trying to establish the routine. Trying to, you know, keep it as normal as I can, but I am sitting here in my bedroom in my panties.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Oh, miss panties.

[Coach David]

Exactly what I was hoping for. That kind of visual.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

All right, you're going for win number five today. No traffic copter, but let's.

[Jim]

How does it sound? Does it sound okay?

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Sounds great.

[Jim]

Yeah, perfect. Sounds great. All right, good.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

We got to welcome back coach to the show. Coach, good morning.

[Jim]

Morning, brother.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Two time hall of famer Coach David, where you been, dude?

[Jim]

You know, just trying to call driving through traffic makes it a little different in the morning.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Well, you've been in the hall of fame twice, dude. You know how to do this. There's a guy who is not in the traffic compter today who is also a two time hall of Famer. He's laying around in his panties right now, and I don't know, he's mixing it up on day five. It's weird. You ready to do this, David?

[Jim]

Oh, yeah.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Welcome back. What are they playing for?

[Coach David]

We have Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle tickets on the line October 10th in the woodlands. Good luck, gentlemen.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Okay, coach, you're already out on the road, so I hope you're not just in your panties today. Adam's gonna pull you over. All right? Shout out your name when you think you know the answer. Let's Play a game here today. That's a good one. This is a good one, Coach. David. You're yelling out David, right?

[Jim]

Yes.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Okay. And then Jim's yelling out Jim. Here we go. Question number one. A floating balloon is typically filled.

[Jim]

David. Jim.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

David. Hot air. Specific. No, no. Not the way the question is written. Oh, Coach. A floating balloon is typically filled with what? Inert gas?

[Jim]

Helium.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Helium. Yeah. The question needed to be completed on that. That was the wrong one to get in first. Would you have said hot air? Jim, you think if you stopped there.

[Jim]

No, I was helium.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

You were going helium all the way. We got a problem. You're a huffer. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

[Jim]

I'm glad. I'm glad mo worded the question so specifically.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

It was.

[Jim]

It could have caught it hard. Here was a valid answer for the first half of the question.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

All right, here we go, coach. Don't let that get you down. Question number two. Which vegetable is used to make pickles?

[Jim]

Jim. David.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

He timed it out. Jim.

[Jim]

Cucumber. Yeah.

[Coach David]

Yeah.

[Jim]

Good job. Congratulations. All right. Thanks, coach.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Yeah, we got a little karate kid for you, dude. Coach, you had him on the ropes, but he was unflappable. Mark my scorecard here. Jim gets the square. And dude, three time hall of famer, I know you like the sound of that.

[Jim]

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

All right, dude, listen. Have a great weekend. Put some clothes on. Put some clothes on. Cheese and Ryan.

[Jim]

I may go back to bed. I don't know.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

Running around in your panties. Hell's not gonna let you in his garage in just your panties.

[Jim]

Okay, true.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

That's true.

[Jim]

All right, I'll get dressed. I'll. I'll put some clothes on for the rest.

[Host (possibly Ryan)]

All right, I look forward to your speech, dude. Congratulations. And dude, way to go Breaking Benjamin Chevelle tick on the last day too.

[Jim]

Great tickets, very cool. I was kind of hoping for rush, but I guess I'll take my.
