Morning Morning. Yeah, morning, Mary, Hi for the downbeat. We're
excited to be here. Fired up. Thursday, December of fourteenth and we
had stuff Stuff Stuff Picks with Glenn's returns at eight o'clock, two NFL picks.
The standings have tightened up after last week the celebrities at seventeen you the
listener fifteen twelve and one in second place, but Malcolm Nanny's son hot on
your trail at fifteen and thirteen. A big week in picks with Glynn's coming
at eight with a mystery guest celebrity with eight thirty ding use morning news which
we didn't get to yesterday and I feel bad about so get ready for bonus.
A hot slab of stories await you at eight thirty. Get ready a
big slab of ribs and stories at eight thirty. Do you to order some
ribs and get them up here at eight thirty? You want some eight thirty
breakfast ribs? Yes, Nope, nope, I'm good. No scuttle butt.
Seven thirty five some of your daily news big topics were following. There's
an officer involved shooting in Mesquite that we've been tracking a little bit. Still
waiting to get more details on it that they're kind of keeping that confined.
That's kind of your one of your big stories. But we don't want to
be too downer today. We want to get involved and we'll get more details
on that, report it for you later. Sports At seven, dude,
there was a wild event last night involving a game ball and our old coach
Rick Carlisle. Get a little bit audio from him as there was a fight
as two teams were warring over who gets the NBA game ball. I know
nothing of this story. Kevin was insane, and I'll explain it to you
at seven. It'll be a lot of fun. We'll talk a little MAVs,
well, Cowboys, little Rangers, all this stuff. And nine,
I have my iHeart employee performance review that you were conducted, I am,
I have my notes ready, I have audio oh that we're gonna present oh
no to review, see how you did. And then we'll uh, you
know, get all that stuff together, fax it into corporate and await the
verdict the response on how well you did in twenty twenty three. It's the
end of the year. Let's face it. Most people start get if they
have a lengthy vacation, it probably starts on Monday, and then they'll come
back on the second. You know, That's how it usually works for us
up here. So I think, in the spirit of full transparency, we're
mailing it in just a little bit, hey man, just a little bit.
Hey. Now, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, because
it's probably going to sound like every other show you heard this year from us.
But we know in our hearts, speak for yourself, moron. We
know in our hearts that we're not giving you one hundred percent. But if
there's one thing that we don't want to do, and that is complain about
being sleepy, are you sleepy? I'm not as sleepy as I have men,
man, because look at look at look at Kevin. The people that
are awake right now, they're sleepy too. Like, if they're listening to
us, they're probably not at their most awake that they'll be today. So
they don't want to hear they don't want to hear it from us. They
don't want to hear us complaining about being heard. But you had a big
night out, You had a couple of cocky, cocky cocktails, and I
multiply that after our big year in twenty twenty three our favorite television shows that
came out this year. Yesterday we did that segment which was super fun.
Actually we did two segments on it to cleanse the TV palette. Last night,
I stayed up a little later that I probably should have watching three episodes
of a brand new World War Two documentary. It just dropped on net.
You do, I don't know. I don't know. I'm learning nothing new,
but what they did do that's really cool. It just came out and
you star Wars guy at all? Not really is there a guy named John
JJ? Is it John Bodega? Yeah, boy Yega? Yeah. He
narrates it. So it's brand new. I do too, really cool sounding
voice. And I'm three episodes in and they essentially kind of go year by
year through the through through from nineteen thirty nine through nineteen forty five. So
it starts when Nazi Germany invades Poland and then it ends with the the A
bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. So I'm three episodes in. The Americans are
involved now but after Pearl Harbor, and what they've done with this footage is
great. They've taken a lot of footage that you know, iconic footage that
we've seen from all of the documentaries that have you know, been out over
the years. But man, I don't know how they did this, but
they kind of went with the old, uh, the the process that made
uh, that World War two film that Peter Jackson produced, directed or whatever
a couple of years back. The footage is exquisite. I don't know how
they're doing that. It's crazy. It is HD crystal clear and full color.
I guess that they're using some form of artificial intelligence. Again, it's
just World War Two. I don't know, that's all. It's got like
some byline to it or some little you know, subtile or sub heading,
subtitle. It's something. I don't remember what it is, but it's just
look. Just go to Netflix. It's the new World War two doc that's
out there. And I'm three episodes in and man, I'm that's kind of
why. You know, Typically something like this, I'm not learning really anything
new that I'd didn't already know, but to hear it kind of repackaged and
having John Boyega narrate it and the footage is just so beautiful to look at.
Yeah, yeah, it's awesome. It's really good. I'll probably knock
out a couple tonight. I didn't watch any TV last night because you're out
drinking. They give me drink tickets. We had our office Christmas party,
which is the movie we're showing Tuesday next Tuesday, the nineteenth at Alamo Draft
House, So five days away. Get your tickets. Now, what are
we doing? Ninety seven to one Thefreak dot Com. We at the Lake
Highlands location. It's gonna be a great night. Seven dollars tickets or ugly
Christmas sweater? Well, buy you a drink. This is one of those
things you just do. You don't ask questions, you do Scooby Doo doesn't
do, but you you do. V Velmo will be there. That's the
nineteenth, Tuesday, ninety seven one the Freak dot Com. We have seats
left for you, go get them. That's some popcorn together. So how
was a Christmas Christmas party? Was at Tek's Comedy House Lounge Teks and Addison
Yep, yep. And so you know I've done this before. I don't
think did you go to last year's Christmas party? You just got here at
the end of November. Oh so you I don't even know it was at
the House of Blues last year. Yes, I did so, you know.
Yes, I've worked at iHeart since twenty twenty. But you weren't having
office parties in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, apparently because of COVID.
Right. No, I did go to the one last year at HB.
Yeah, okay, so you know how it is. It was a foundation
or something like that. Hey, you got clients you have and salespeople you
have, all the people we have, you know that work here in the
building who could make it. You know, they had a carving station last
year. They did have a carving station at the House of Blues. I
remember that you have carving a good prime rib. Yep, that prime rib.
And then they had build your own tacos. Had pizza and tacos.
Last night. I think I had like at least three hundred and seventy five
tacos. Oh my, yeah, I could have could have went bad.
I held off on eating too much last night, but it could have gone
down a bad path because it was all there and all free. I remember
it was really cold and really windy last year too, Yes it was.
But they you know, they did a thing where we have somehow Golden always
comes up. Golden is our office kind of just everything. You know,
she's the Golden of all trades. She kind of does everything, and she
makes sure that we have the things we need up here, whether it be
office supplies, whether it be fresh coffee. She she also knows where every
damn body is. Oh my god, yes, no, there's no doubt
about it. I mean, she's the you know, yeah, she's a
Roosevelt of this operation. Yep. And she you know, we have we
got to go in order. And it starts with the kid Cratic show and
they go up there and the you know sreading raffle numbers and we're giving away
stuff. She had the kid Cratic show up there. You know, they
bring that energy that says, I do a morning show and I want to
get out of here, and I respect the hell out of it. And
it's also a bigger reminder that there's about a thousand morning shows in this market.
So thank you to all of you who are listening to us and making
that choice. We appreciate that we need you more than those other shows need
you. We do. Tell a friend Bo from bo Jim. I saw
him with his wife and they were doing the whole like, you know,
take a picture by the ring camera. Yeah, not ring camera, the
rings Like yeah, yeah, I said, bo, after all these years
in the Hall of Fame, you still come to these things. He goes,
I don't mind it. And I said, wait, you're off tomorrow.
He goes, hell, yeah, break. He's like, yeah,
I'll go eat and drink on the companies, on the company. I don't
have to get up in the four am hour tomorrow like you do. And
that's the thing. Next year's office Christmas party. Everyone, we're stopping the
show. We're going to go. Tell Zach we're taking that day off the
next day. Yea, or at least, guys, I'm hungover right now.
You like crap, You smell like uncle Ken. Things are just not
going well for you at all. But they could do it either I don't
even know, have given us the day off, or maybe just plan it
when all the shows are on break, you know, like do it next
week. Yeah, I don't know. Well, I think there was a
lot of the speed that needed to happen with this, because I think I
think Paul's headed out of town. I believe so. But it was fun.
So we had to go up and as our term we were we were
third and then believe the kid and his team went after us. It's kind
of fun to explain to Rocks, like, here's all the people in the
mornings. I see, we're the grumpy people that walk around work at five
am. God, there are a lot of morning shows. There's too many.
I mean, honestly, there's a bunch. And that's not counting the
three Mexican radio stations, which are just destroying. They crush, they crush,
really Hispanics, they are monsters. There's just a bunch. There's a
bunch of morning shows. The ain't like that in the afternoon or midday.
There's so many morning shows and I had I've seen it. One complaint on
our text thread about us being a little low energy, like when they're you
know, people are getting up. They don't want low energy. I don't
know. Man, the Mexican morning show and you can hear them if you
or maybe go for a nice morning stroll in the neighborhood and there happens to
be, you know, some type of roofing or something going on, and
they'll the radio will be blasting. They ain't low they are not low energy.
They are up and ready to go at five o'clock, and it is
I've been to a wedding, a Mexican wedding, yeah, and it's just
I'm just so tired at eleven pm. And then I'm just kind of getting
to like, hey, you need to either start drinking or like pep up
a little bit because we still got three hours left. And then they come
back the next day and do it all over. I know, I know,
and get up. I don't understand. How how do people do it.
It's it's like every group of folks other than white people can go all
night and get up early in the morning and act like nothing ever happened.
I know. One of the best parties I ever went to in my life.
I was back in my pizza days and we had a buddy of ours
that was he had moved to the United States. He was going to college
to be a doctor, and his name was Mohammed and he was from Kenya,
Okay, but he needed a job, so he was delivering pizzas.
This guy was awesome and my buddy and I, Scott, kind of befriended
him and we became good buddies. You know. He thought we were funny,
and we were super interested in Muhammad and we're super cool with each other.
And one time he said, hey, guys, tonight, I'm having
a big party and I want to invite you dudes, and we're like,
let's go. So we show up at this it's like, say they rented
out like a banquet hall warehouse he kind of spot and we walk in and
me and my roommate and I Scott are completely the only two white folks in
the entire place. And it is full of African people, people from Africa
that are in the States, like going to school whatever. They moved over
here for whatever reason. But it's all of Mohammed's friends. And I'll be
damned if it's not four thirty in the morning. We got there at like
nine, and the DJ was bumping some badass like cool reggae, you know,
cool like uh. It was like a fusion kind of reggae, like
house music with reggae kind of mixed together, so it is the bass is
just slamming. This thing goes on until we left, and I remember going
home and the sun was coming up and there were still people there dancing.
I'm dancing at like three point thirty in the morning with this gorgeous, thin
woman as tall as I am from like Nigeria, and we're dance. I
can't dance, you've seen me in here, but I'm absolutely the music and
the red stripe took me there, and the rum a lot of room.
And the next day, I mean, Scott and I are just dragging at
work and Mohammed comes in, How are you feeling good? What we do?
Man like every day? He's like, well, you know, almost
almost every day. Yeah, believable. It is wild. That's why white
people invented cocaine so they could keep up. Yeah, I didn't white people
invent They didn't invent it, but boy, they're ownership of it. There's
a supply and demand. Yeah, absolutely, we liberated cocaine anyway. Yes,
so yeah, maybe we're not the most energetic morning show, but you
know what we're well, you know, I don't know. I think it
depends on the day too, and I think I think we're up and down
and I don't really I don't think about how something should be. And I
hope people know that. And I think most people who listen to us understand
that we're just hanging out here. I mean it's what we're doing. So
I mean, we're not taking the job seriously, You're just killing time.
We always have almost too much. I have so much crap at the end
of each week that we just didn't get to I'm sitting here going but I
don't force anything. Vibes are always good. That's what people want, just
people hanging out. I feel like they're talking to us, and we invite
them on the show a lot too at two one four or eight one seven
seven, eight seven one nine seven to one, where you can text in
anytime. And I want you to listen to the next seven minutes or so
because if you have any advice for mister Danny, because Danny sent me a
text message last night, stripmaste have just sent me a message, says I
also feel like crap hanging there? Man, Uh, Danny sent me a
text last night about eight o'clock. There's stuff that leads up to you receiving
this text. Okay, so yesterday I think was it yesterday that we got
the text about? Was two days ago? I think two days ago on
the football kick on the what on the football kick? Yeah, And I
can't where is that I should have pulled this up. I'm such a bad,
bad daddy anyway, So you're Malcolm's mom sent me a text a couple
of days ago that she overheard Malcolm kicking my almost three year old son kicking
a soccer ball and he was saying something to the effect of let's go f
it, using the F word. Yesterday, I get a text and he
is saying the word bitch out of nowhere. I go home after work,
we go on a walk and we're going for a walk and with the with
the dog, and he just I was walking down the sidewalk and he just
starts going bitch, bitch, Like, what are you saying? I think
it is he saying, ditch, I have an itch. He goes,
bitch, you know what he's saying. Go wh're uh geez. He goes,
daddy say it. I go no, I'm not going to say it.
But where where did you learn that? And he goes, Mommy,
really, So last night, last night the topic has evolved and this is
the text that I sent you. His mom sent me a text and said,
Malcolm is playing the drums and singing come on, bitch. He's made
it into a song, Come on bitch. So I'm like Jesus wtf.
I go, this must be a reflection of mommy's rap music, and she
goes, maybe he is singing bad bitch, I have played that. I
guess I have to stop. You blamed it on mommy's rap music, like
Mommy's a little less filtered than I am around him, And I go,
look, I wrote back, and I go, Honestly, to me,
they're just words. Personally, I don't care. I find it funny.
It's one of those cases where how much we consider what other people think.
And she's like, yeah, absolutely. I go, I'm certainly not going
to teach him those words or encourage it. But he's two, who really
cares. I'm not gonna tell him he's bad for saying him And she goes,
yeah, I haven't said anything like that. I just said they aren't
nice words. And my response was, I say, we just ignore it
and try and hide our laughter the best we can, because I'm telling you,
when a two year old drops an F bomb yes or says bitch,
it's the funniest thing on the face of the planet. Oh, my goods
so funny. And I just it's funny how much kids pick up on stuff
you don't think they're listening. They're always listening. I don't have any kids.
I have a niece and three nephews. Yeah, but you're around little
ones. I'm around them a lot. Yeah, And I know, like,
you have to be careful what you say around because they will take that
and they'll use it in perfect context. I don't understand, like, how
how do you use that so perfectly? Oh? And then if they see
you laughing, or if they see you laughing, they're gonna do it a
bunch to make you laugh. If you tell him not too or that it's
not a good word, they'll do it anyway because they want to. Then
they want to push their boundaries and see what they can get away with.
And I just think, at two, I'm not telling this kid that words
are bad yet. And I don't think any words are bad. I think
that there are situations where you have to realize there is cause and effect for
using words. You know, like in the middle of a class at school.
You don't want to start singing I'm a bad bitch, or or kicking
a soccer ball and saying if it let's go No, that's not good.
Does he go to daycare? No? Okay, no, no, no,
no, no, lot of daycare. So I'm not gonna get on
this two year old about dropping f bombs sing as I know, I don't
cuss around him. I have a decent method of filtering that stuff out or
shutting it up, just because of what I do for a living. You
know, I've probably been dumped in twenty three years doing this ridiculous job,
maybe a handful of like three or four times. Yeah, But what you
can do is, obviously, you know, you don't want to go around
saying it because if you tell them no, you can't say this bad way,
they're like, well you say it. You're like, well, it's
a word that only adults use. That's kind of how you you kind of
yeah, like, well only adults us those, and you know you show
you can't you know, you can't say that, right right. Yeah,
I'm just trying to like, you know, yeah, I don't know what
the best thing to do is, but I definitely don't want to shame him
or feel like he's a bad person for just repeating stuff. Especially I don't
know too, he's got so many words that he's going to learn each day.
Really, he's got more words he's going to learn he could, he
could, they might just filter out and fall out too because there are more
you know, he's going to learn Rangers. Yeah. He asked me the
other day, was what did the Rangers do? And they won the World
Series. It's like yeah, yeah, but uh yeah. I think the
more the more attention you draw to that type of stuff, I think,
the deeper a hole you're digging for yourself, and it's going to encourage them
to do it more. Person text in my two year old daughter cusses like
a sailor. I mean, it's I bet it's even funnier for hearing a
little girl say that stuff. You know my little brother is I'm sure I
cussed too. But like my little brother, I remember his go to was
bitch, g d it. It's like, okay, you were three man,
it's so funny. Yeah, I've ah. Yeah. I think the
first curse word Malcolm said was g d it because that was one that I
had to eliminate from my vocabulary to this day, trying to keep out.
But it's just not a good one to say anyway, you know, flies
off the tongue. It is, It's got such meaning and impact. Would
you like some fatherly advice, yeah, or motherly advice. Well, caller
is good advice for you here, Daniel, let's go good morning, Good
morning guys. How y'all doing to day? Doing good, Danny. I
actually think you're on the right path with this, just kind of letting us
like back and not reacting work. I've got twin grand babies, they're almost
ay. About a year ago, my grandson was eating lunch. We were
just talking. He looks at me and says, hey, pop, pops,
I know how to make the F word with my hand. Now my
seven year old baby brain is laughing. I'm dying inside, and I'm like,
well, said honestly, little buddy, that's probably not something you want
to continue to do because it will get you in trouble when you do it
to the wrong person. Yes, all right, And he just rolled off
with it. So but you know, we get the easy stuff. The
other day he got trouble at for school because it was hot dog Day at
lunch. You know, the little other boys weren't playing hot dog. This
is what is hot dog day? Yeah? Oh, they had hot dog
day at lunch. Hot dogs for lunch. Uh huh. A little boy
sitting next to him, took the hot dog out of his bun and put
it on his pants and was wheeling it around. My grandson thought that was
funny, so he did. It's always the second guy into the fray always
gets caught, and he got caught, just like in the NFL. Yeah,
I like I like that you said that. I think that it is
about like not making them feel bad for doing it, just saying that you
know there are consequences. There will there will be consequences for you choosing to
use these words, and you'll learn it on your own or I can,
you know, kind of guide you through what these scenarios might be. But
I'm not going to beat his ass for saying bitch at home. It's like
whatever, dude, They're just words, you know, especially at that.
Yeah, I think you're doing good. And I finally realized something. Since
you don't have grandkids, it dawned on me that you had a kid late,
so you could have a grand kid and a kid at the same time.
All right, we're gonna cut you off off. Yeah, well,
thank my head explodes and Kevin puts my brain and skull back together. Good
good, that's true. That would mean thanks that ye take care body,
right, Okay, so if you're oldest Josh right, Yeah, if he
had a kid, and then that Malcolm would be his how does his uncle
his uncle like yeah, kicking the screen. Yeah, but he still would
be older than he'd be he'd be very close in age, but he would
be older than his nephew or niece. There are those scenarios where let's say
that you know, Josh ed had a kid five years ago, and then
you have the uncle or aunt that's older or that's younger than the nephew.
I've seen that happen in the country. Like I said, I killing screaming
when Will Ferrell's son played. You know, his dad coaches the other team.
Dad had a kid when Will Ferrell had his kids, So his uncle
Will Ferrell's kids uncle is the same age as him. Yeah, that's weird.
That's really weird. I think actually might have that in my family.
The uncle, the aunt who is I think, well, I hate my
dad is older than her because it's his dad's youngest sister and a huge age
gap. Because it's fun. Yeah, and then when you have a big
family, like if it's like nine kids in one family, obviously they're unless
you had them back to back from back. Dude, they're gonna have kids
that are probably the same age as like your youngest brother or sister. That's
wild, wild. You heard the playlist from twenty twenty. I had a
player. I just crush a lot. Thrust songs. Thrust Songs by Danny
Alright. Coming up next the Pup A big show was announced coming to DFW.
Will tell you what that is and have a little fun with it.
Next on the Freaking
