Appearances
- #7722:09:42RegularMar 28, 2026
Hall of Famer with the record for most appearances and most interviews in show history, introduced with his full nickname reel (Vanilla Gorilla, Memphis Strangler, Goliath of Grand Prairie, Duke of Dallas, Mayor of Mineral Wells). Unusually topical minute this week - Tiger Woods, the Easter Bunny, Prince, Iran - which he said was a deliberate switch-up because Tony had been on him about 70s and 80s references. Interview was classic self-sabotage: he had the Dallas crowd fully on his side, then trashed the food quality at Buc-ee's in the heart of Texas and insulted Redban, before recommending beaver nuggets in whole milk as cereal.
