00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.080
You're listening to down Beat ninety says
Na. Hi, good morning. Well

2
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:10.039
after seven am Wednesday, Jan twenty
four, you listen to the down Beat.

3
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:14.439
We're six to ten am each and
every weekday with Bingyu, Kevin and

4
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.480
myself, Mike's Roy. We have
JJ producing this thing. Hi, JJ,

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.679
good morning to you. Good morning. I watched ALRIGHTY. I couldn't

6
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.519
help, but I watched one of
the Oscar nominees for Best Picture. You

7
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.640
burned some salt last night, MIKEY, I didn't burn salt. You don't

8
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.440
have to worry about that one.
That's not on a list. But I

9
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.479
did watch one of the nominees,
uh, right when I got FOURK,

10
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.679
right when I got home. So
we'll discuss that and some other things in

11
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.600
the Hollywood round U at nine o'clock. More importantly, one hour from right

12
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:45.079
now an exciting game that we want
you to participate in. It's called Barbecue

13
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:49.560
blue Bonnets in the Bible, a
small town Texas adventure. And if in

14
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.600
one hour you want to call us
at two, one four, seven,

15
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.880
eight seven, one nine seven one, you will have a chance to participate

16
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.719
in the game and maybe win modest
Mouse and Pixie's tickets. To an upcoming

17
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.399
show coming up here in a little
bit ding us morn News coming up at

18
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.200
eight thirty. But right now,
we had something big happen sort of locally

19
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.239
in the world of sports yesterday,
and we'll discuss it in this very segment.

20
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.519
And now, Lord, we're living
in the end times, Kevin,

21
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:29.280
So let's make this segment count a
better or last. We'll put that in

22
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:34.040
that vault in Switzerland. First,
somebody did I'm sorry a text her I

23
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.359
said, well, if everyone here, let me read it properly. If

24
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.359
the apocalypse happens, happens and everyone's
wiped out, who's going to tell the

25
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.280
next inhabitants there's a box in Switzerland. That's the whole thing. You just

26
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.519
have to find it. Yeah,
that's it, and someone will they do.

27
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.400
It's about when they find it.
Not how so, some form of

28
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.599
life will repopulate here on Earth,
and then they will evolve into a civilization.

29
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.959
Kevin. Then one day they'll just
stumble upon this vault. Ye,

30
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.719
it obviously begs the question we need
to stumble on the last vault? Okay,

31
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:15.159
Wow, that is somewhere. So
we'd like to announce the downbeat.

32
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.199
We'll be broadcasting live from Switzerland.
It'll all next week. It'll be a

33
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.080
bunch of on the hunt. Who's
paying for that? I'll talk to Dak.

34
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.599
It'll be a bunch of dinosaur facts
from the last vault. Right,

35
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.080
that's what no, No fully evolved. How about a society evolved millions of

36
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.919
years beyond ours that we don't know, We have no idea of knowing.

37
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.719
We can comprehend it. I can
what they're going to read up to.

38
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.000
They're going to read up and see
sports highlights on these discs they're going to

39
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.240
see and it'll be like Biffs.
Yeah, they're gonna see the Biff's book

40
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.639
with all the finals, and we'll
become rich because we know who wins the

41
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.639
future super Bowl. Think about this, though this planet's been around for what

42
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.759
four and a half billion years,
think about this. If there was a

43
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:07.199
time before the dinosaurs that we were
populated by a civilization that was far more

44
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:13.159
advanced than we are right now,
and we just haven't found that vault to

45
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:19.159
show us the way to enlightenment and
peace. And then somehow that civilization was

46
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:25.560
wiped out, and from their their
demise sprang forth the era of the dinosaur.

47
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.800
And that's really just all we know, taking one advil cures cancer,

48
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:37.560
Alzheimer's everything. What if that's what
if we kind of are working in reverse

49
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.960
as a society when all of the
answers were billions of years ago. I

50
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.400
think we sell it all along of
stoners. No, it's all very possible.

51
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:53.960
There is a avilization that is probably
twenty million years ahead of us somewhere,

52
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.479
and who knows they might have been
here, although I think we would

53
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.599
have found some remnants of that,
right, I mean, couldn't have been

54
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.479
pure annihilating, not if it was
just one one box in a cave in

55
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:09.240
Switzerland somewhere you know, who knows
where this box could exist, right,

56
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.039
but somewhere else on Earth? Who
would have found some remnants of some civilization

57
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.240
that was millions of years ahead of
us. The rest of the planet couldn't

58
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.879
have been so annihilated that there's not
even a writing implement of sor or they

59
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.959
were so evolved they saw the writing
on the wall that the Earth was about

60
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:30.120
to be pseudo destroyed, and they
just left without a trace, taken only

61
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:35.399
photograph footprints. What we do know
is it was a good day for a

62
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:41.480
I don't care about Hall of fame
stuff. Never have. Neither does Roger

63
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:46.399
Clemens probably never will. I just
don't look cool but cool when it happens

64
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:53.639
right to one of your local dudes, Adrian Belchray, who signed here in

65
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:59.600
twenty ten and helped kind of lead
the way to a World Series run.

66
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.920
I don't know, he's one of
the many leaders that team was stacked,

67
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:08.519
but he was so fun. And
here is him being fun with his wife,

68
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:13.399
his three kids. He's sitting on
the couch. They all knew that

69
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:18.120
he was going to get in because
most baseball writers had already tweeted out their

70
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:29.639
ballots anyways with him on it.
So here comes the phone call you would

71
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:42.959
didn't answer voicemail, and they're all
just answered, idiot, proving that even

72
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.560
somebody as cool as Adrian Beltray is
not above dad jokes. He's like,

73
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.000
no, boy, I'm like I
just kept thinking too, like what if

74
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.279
he really just just chilled for minutes? And then they goes to voicemail together,

75
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:04.879
then finally picks it up. Hello, Oh speak with Adrian belch Yes,

76
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:11.360
sir, this is him, Adrian. This is Uncle Connell Baseball calling

77
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.000
you from the Baseball Hall of Fame
in Cooperstown. New York. You do

78
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.319
second home. The Baseball Writers have
elected you to the Hall of Game.

79
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:27.399
Thank you so much. So official's
official. I might need to play gas.

80
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.319
Right when you restarted it, did
someone whisper to Adrian Beltray speak here.

81
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.120
That's his son saying speaker put in
speak? Thank you? Okay,

82
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:39.120
yes, I thought you speak here. Let's hear the prank though again.

83
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:53.160
Just I'm not prank, but h
you're ready, answered John. I'm hello,

84
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.040
okay, pretty good. Hello,
Hello, that's a good hey.

85
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.519
Hello, Oh Adrian, Adrian.
Now, I do want to say this,

86
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:10.720
and I swear I'm not being a
at all revisionist guy here, but

87
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:17.000
I think there's a lot of people
in this town who now, I'm gonna

88
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.160
be receipts guy and all that stuff, and I don't like being that guy.

89
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.959
But people acted like what you get
to know him and love him that

90
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.040
they were always there were people bitching
when we signed him. He only plays

91
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.519
good in contract years. Oh yeah, And I'm like, okay, first

92
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.240
of all, you haven't been following
anything that closely because we played the Mariners

93
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.800
nineteen times a year, and he's
a beast, He's a monster. I

94
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.839
was thrilled when we signed him,
you were biased because he used to kill

95
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.240
us, he used to destroy us, and then he went to Boston,

96
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.439
you know, And I think that's
what happened. Signed a big contract,

97
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.959
goes to Boston, puts up big
numbers, and everyone's like, oh,

98
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.040
yeah, because he had he had
a great year in Boston too. But

99
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.920
everyone's like, he only plays good
in contract year, which is not true

100
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.360
at all. But that was a
hot take around here from writers, from

101
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.839
people who had platforms. Yeah,
Twitter was kind of earlier on that time.

102
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.199
To be honest, it wasn't that
loud, but people are talking,

103
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.759
Oh, he strikes out a lot, and he just swings weird and he's

104
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.079
kind of crazy because no one knew
anything about him. I was like,

105
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.759
dude, watch him play nineteen times
a year and he's fun playing for the

106
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.600
other team. Watch him play every
day, and that's that's when you kind

107
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.160
of get to learn what the other
other teams that he was on already knew.

108
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.759
And he was such a treat he
when he was in Boston. I

109
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.960
know, he had fifty doubles I
think, and he just bashed hard hit

110
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.120
balls off the Green Monster that didn't
go out, and I think that's why

111
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.120
the Rangers knew like this dude,
give him the right park and he's dialed.

112
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.759
And they also signed into a six
year, ninety six million dollar deal,

113
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.320
which already sounds at the time like
the greatest value of all time.

114
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.840
Yeah, at the time, that
was a ton man. I read a

115
00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:01.000
big La Times article about him just
last night, and he signed before he

116
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.159
was sixteen, which is illegal.
But I think there was some questions about

117
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.559
the birth certificate twenty three thousand dollars
in nineteen ninety four. He had a

118
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.679
slow recovery from a botched appendectomy and
the Dominican Republic when he first started and

119
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:20.320
Sean Green, the great left,
the slugger and all around great player,

120
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.559
talked about the development of beltrain and
like he had this foot injury that kind

121
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.279
of saved his career because he had
such happy feet in the box and he

122
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.240
was just so ready to go and
freaking out that this foot injury on his

123
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.679
lead foot, his left foot,
I guess forced him to calm, have

124
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.840
a calm lower body in the box. And he's like, this is a

125
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.879
real thing that happened that turned him
into essentially a Hall of Fame hitter.

126
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.559
That was kind of interesting. Yeah, I had no idea about the ether.

127
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.799
Yeah, that's really I mean,
because again I do get like when

128
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.000
we did sign him, we didn't
know a ton of him personally. I

129
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:01.120
guess, yeah. That way.
He also was he had one big Brady

130
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.440
Anderson type jump, not break nothing's
like Brady Anderson, but he had a

131
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.399
big home run jump in the steroid
era, and I think that raised a

132
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:11.720
lot of questions. But the Dodgers, I think he had a year I'm

133
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.399
pulling upsize see it. Yeah,
he went to yeah, twenty three and

134
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.480
then to four. He went forty
eight home runs, and then back down

135
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.480
to nineteen the year after that.
Yeah, he made a lot of people

136
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.919
go home. He had one hundred
and twenty one RBIs and he in his

137
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.639
first fifteen to twelve years that's the
only time he had one hundred plus RBIs.

138
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.960
So there was there was questions.
But right when he got to Boston

139
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.960
and then when he got here,
he was just so consistent and so good.

140
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.559
And the key is so fun.
Yes, I mean, it's like

141
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.960
we all know it, but the
dude made baseball fun, which is exactly

142
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.279
what they need. He had bits
and he did him kind of dry,

143
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.080
you know, with that serious look
on his face, but you know,

144
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.360
talking to teammates and Elvis and Michael
Young always just like you, so fun

145
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.480
to be around, and such a
pro such a leader that you kind of

146
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.519
follow, even if you don't know
you're following, because I don't know how

147
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.799
vocal necessarily the man, he was
a team. That's what I was always

148
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.120
remembering for. But Kevin kind of
mentioned this earlier, but I want to

149
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.480
expound on a little bit. He
also helped raise the bar of expectations of

150
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.240
the organization because you think about the
Rangers in seventies and eighties, you know

151
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.720
they they would be in the conversation
in certain years where they might be fighting

152
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:28.799
to uh for a division but always
fall short. But sometimes they'd be actually

153
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.240
pretty good, you know, and
come in second and miss the playoffs.

154
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.200
And if finally the Rangers raised their
bar within the Johnny Oats era where they

155
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.679
went to the playoffs, I believe
what three out of four years first round

156
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.240
eliminations, all three times against the
Yankees, only one game win in all

157
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:50.000
three of those series. And then
you kind of had the doldrums for a

158
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.799
little bit. But then when Beltray
got here, it kind of ushered in

159
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.639
oh wow, We're not only going
to make the playoffs consistently, We're going

160
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:00.440
to the damn World Series. So
that bar got raised even more or during

161
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.320
that Beltray era era, and now
we have finally, you know, the

162
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.559
World Championship, which is still unbelievable
to me. Yeah, I know,

163
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.759
how does that make sense? That
last night even I was just like,

164
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.879
I still don't know that it's fully
sunk in. Yeah, I know it

165
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.960
will maybe it just I guess,
yeah, I think so, And I'm

166
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.679
still in sports shock over it to
a certain degree. But he was man.

167
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.399
He was a key component in raising
the expectations, raising the bar,

168
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.240
and making this franchise kind of in
the conversation, you know, pretty much

169
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.799
every year, even if they were
sucking, you still had that We at

170
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.039
least went to two World Series back
to back, and Adrian Beltrae was a

171
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.960
massive part of that. Now and
it's the one knee home run just an

172
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:52.360
incredible defense just in general, the
matchups with him and Felix Hernandez on those

173
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.399
years just kind of you know,
Felix Hernandez would kind of throw at him,

174
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:58.639
but you know, he wasn't going
to hit him. But and you

175
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.159
just like exaggerated rush back of course
moving the on deck circle. I mean,

176
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.440
I have a T shirt that says
on deck is wherever the circle is,

177
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.720
and it's him just dragging it.
I'll watched that video this morning when

178
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.279
I woke up, and there's no
bigger at My nerd of the day is

179
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.519
the umpire who was like, no, you're ready here, you dragged it

180
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.919
on deck. So I don't think
so like it's Adrian Belfer. He's already

181
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.679
an established veteran. You almost know. It's sort of a bit is that

182
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.279
that we need him out of this
game? There is no photolou right because

183
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.759
he got mags. He wasn't in
it because he wanted to get a better

184
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.039
look at the pitches coming in,
which there probably is something to that.

185
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.759
Yeah, he's like, get in
the on deck circle. He dragged it

186
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.679
ten feet. Still leave him alone. I have no choice but to send

187
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.559
you to the showers. Don't make
me hey, no, gone, what

188
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.440
the dork of the day. And
not to mention, I mean, just

189
00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:01.039
the weird chemistry and bits and camaraderie
between field between him and Elvis right pretending

190
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.279
to catch pop ups, get pretending
to get mad at him. It was

191
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.519
so fun. Yes, wh glove
at him and then the head touch as

192
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:16.480
weird as that was, and in
like third base stats like one in batting

193
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.679
average, one in total bases.
I mean he was like he was almost

194
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.200
I don't think was he anonymous?
Was he uh unanimous? No? It

195
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:30.120
wasn't ninety five point one percent okay
and one who? No, it was

196
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.360
it was like a few douches does
or so. But I looked that up

197
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.919
to and for the people mad about
that, almost no one gets in unanimously

198
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:43.639
first ballot. Mariano Rivera did,
Derek Jeter didn't. Ken Griffy Junior was

199
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.399
three votes short. Nolan Ryan was
six votes short of a unanimous first ballot

200
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:54.559
Insane. Nolan, Griffy and Jeter
were not unanimous either. So it's who

201
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:56.639
cares? Who cares? I do
not care about the Hall of Fame and

202
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.559
how they get in and yelling about. But I look forward to his speech

203
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.600
too. I think that'll be kind
of fun. Oh there he is sliding,

204
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.679
looking there's the umpum. You're out
of here? I don't think so,

205
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.720
Adrid. Then Banisher goes out and
yells at him. It was the

206
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.200
bottom of the eighth inning and we
were losing eighteen to eighteen to six.

207
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.480
The scuttle butt, Hey, we'll
do it, now, you do it.

208
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:31.080
I will eight o'clock chance to win
the tickets to see Modest Mouse and

209
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.440
the Pixies, Barbecue, blue Bonnets
and the Bible, A small town Texas

210
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.279
adventure you can take on Mike ss
Roy two and four eight one seven seven

211
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:45.200
eight seven one nine seven one.
This was all over my timeline yesterday,

212
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:50.960
so I'm gonna do this story quickly. Here only ISD, my hometown,

213
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.720
two hours west of here. I
would consider them in the Metroplex, though

214
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.039
you'll see them on the weather sometimes. I wouldn't do that. I would

215
00:15:58.080 --> 00:16:00.679
not, they announced on Facebook yesterday. I'd barely consider all need to be

216
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:07.000
in Texas. What don't be mean? They're good people out there and they're

217
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:11.240
going through a hard time. Are
they hard? Man? I don't know.

218
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.679
I just don't want to know many
people there. Uh, people I

219
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:21.799
really know they're now are families uncomfortable? Insurge your quick? Uh? They

220
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.639
announced on Facebook yesterday they're canceling classes
as the district is impacted by an outbreak

221
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.720
of illnesses. Schools were closed yesterday
and again today. This should give students

222
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.679
and staff some time to recover,
the district said in the post, and

223
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:37.879
here's what it says in the article. Only is a rural community of about

224
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:42.039
three thousand people, located one hundred
miles west of Fort Worth. So they're

225
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.519
going to try to resume class tomorrow. I was talking to a fella,

226
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.840
I know, good friend of mine
who got knocked down with the flu.

227
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:55.120
I mean, he got wiped out
and he's out there. No now he's

228
00:16:55.159 --> 00:17:00.879
actually here in town. Well,
what is this string of illnesses av Maybe

229
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:06.440
I don't know, I don't know. Are the quarantining the entire village the

230
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.079
rest of You're saying everyone in town
is sick. You know what, it's

231
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:14.880
probably teachers don't enough teachers to handle
this, right, And so that's I

232
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:19.519
mean, I've seen that and along
since the eighteen hundreds, No school this

233
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:22.759
week, everyone's sick. Well,
in the eighteen hundreds, you just had

234
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:29.799
the one teacher in the big room
that had kindergarteners and seniors learning learning,

235
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.880
writing and reading together. But my
friend who got what knocked down at the

236
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.119
flu said it was like nearly ten
days. He said. My rest of

237
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.720
my family had it for like a
day, and they were good. Yeah,

238
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.640
now I'm not. I wanted to
say, there's no vax stance coming

239
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:51.880
from me. I did not get
the flu shot. I have never gotten

240
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:56.480
it. I also just got a
real doctor like three months ago, so

241
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.519
I don't you know us. It
was like, oh, they're giving them

242
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.200
away in the work office. I've
never got a flu shot. But he

243
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.359
told me, he goes. The
rest of my family got the flu shot

244
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.000
one day. He has. I
didn't. I was working a trial,

245
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.160
not one of the Frinkles, but
it's lawyer friend of mine, and he

246
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.799
got super sakes. I just got
wiped in as I didn't get a flu

247
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.599
shot and because I had it for
ten days. I've had this flu a

248
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:23.240
type A or oh yeah, have
you ever had a bad bout with the

249
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.000
flu? No? I don't think
I have either. No. I've had

250
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:32.839
it two times in my life where
it was like legit flu that I had

251
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:36.039
to take time off work. One
of them was probably about ten years ago,

252
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.319
and I hadn't had it since I
was in my twenties and I got

253
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:44.440
it and I had to miss an
entire week, five work days of work,

254
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:49.359
and it was it was like it
was like I was detoxing from Heroin

255
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:56.519
is what I can only imagine that
feeling feeling like like quitting heroin cold Turkey,

256
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.079
where it's the sweats and it's the
hills and you're hot and you're cold

257
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:06.839
and you're seeing visions and you're dehydrated
and it's like the And I kept telling

258
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.400
myself during that experience and go,
this must what it feels like right before

259
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:18.359
you die. What's garnerd Where only
is no? Because I'm seeing that it

260
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.240
says only Garner ized t cancel classes
And they said Garner, which is that?

261
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.079
Is it? That must be the
county. Garner must be a small

262
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.720
town that's consolidated with all me,
I would have heard of that. Now

263
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:36.559
you've never heard of Garner. Eh
No, well me Either're Garner, Texas?

264
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.240
Where is it? I mean,
yeah, that's in Parker County,

265
00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.440
northwest of Weatherford in Parker County.
Yeah, only is in Young County.

266
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.359
Okay, well maybe these are unrelated. Then they're just letting lated. Okay,

267
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.559
