This is the downbeat on ninety seven one the Freak. We will continue to
spin the wheel throughout the day. That involves some things involving our ranger party
that we're having is we are sipping on some might call them earlier memos,
somosas memos. On a Thursday, don't eat leftover Halloween candy and do a
shot of tequila simultaneously. Yeah, that's our pro tip of the morning.
If you put things on the board, are take calls from you, take
talkbacks from you, red microphone button on the iHeartRadio app two and four eight
when seven seven eight seven one. Also, it's take a shot. I
just had a shot of Sikoro tequila. Mikey had a shot of Sicoro tequila
right after a mister goodbar and the mister goodbar terrible. That you know,
look, I love Secoro, I know it's good, but the combination was
was total ast I took a talkback, he takes out, took a talk
back. That's his punishment on the wheel spinding. It's gonna cost me seventy
one dollars. But I'm have to venmo some random listener because that's on there.
Ranger money. It's fair maybe I'll call groups. Maybe I'll land on
that talkbacks. The talkback you did you did nothing, you did nothing,
you didn't do s You just sat there, you sat there for being a
good Ranger fan. What a punishment. But he goes first in round two
of the spinner Wheel, which we'll do after we do this. Here's the
intro to this thing that we do everywhere. We'll get him. Yeah,
but she's busting aus. She doesn't have no intros ready. No, I
have the intro though, is my audio crank jj dy just busting her ass
in there? And he's like, what do you want me to do?
Now? She's standing up, Yeah, listening for the last two seconds,
trying to get ahold of drinking. Do we get him yet? Yeah?
He's here? Oh hell ye okay, we played the intro for him.
Then oh we curR my aody up sorry X with glenns X with Glenn's Picking
games against the Spread with a guest celebrity. Oh, fixed with Alcoholism presenting
its friends, picking games against the spread with agust celebrity. Everybody fast,
It's fantasticall joining us now on the Freak Hotline. Oh, a very good
friend of all of ours a great man. You know him from his work
in Napoleon Dynamite and in both seasons of The White Lotus. Actor John Grys
is with us. Hello, Uncle Rico. How you doing? Man?
What's going on there? He is, You're the best waking up early for
us. You're on the West coast at six am your time, so you
get up as early as we do. I get up early anyway, because
I have a parrot. He likes to eat first thing in the morning,
first thing the light cracks, He wants food. Are you really a bird
owner? You have a parrot? Yeah? I do. I have a
parrot. His name is Pablo. I don't smoke weed anymore, but when
I did, I had a good two hour session where I'm like, there's
a f an animal that learns our words and repeats them to us. Yeah.
What words does Pablo say? Not really that many? Like he just
you know, says good boys, step up? How you doing? You
know? That's so cool? What do you feed him? Important thing?
I think I've always been confused, like what did they eat? Like the
stereotype is a cracker, but what do they eat? Really? No,
no, they you know, it depends on which you know, because parrots
are all different species. They're not actually breeding their species, and he's gonna
collect his parrot from the Solomon Islands. He eats shoots and vegetables, mainly
vegetables, but like you know, maybe twenty percent of his diet should be
seed and then the rest of his vegetables. That's incredible. Well, thank
you for taking the time to hang with us today. What you guys doing.
We're apologizing to you because obviously it's a Ranger celebration here and we this
is not a normal thing. But we have champagne and to kill you.
Yeah, and we are. Our whole goal today was essentially just to get
absolutely hammered from six to ten am. Dude, I'm excited about I'm excited
about the Rangers. That's what Kevin said. He said, you actually have
been following it or like the Rangers? What's going on there? Just you
know, look, I like an underdog. I like a team that hasn't
won or hasn't even really I mean they what have they been in one World
Series ever? Before this went to two and then had our hearts ripped out
in twenty eleven the Saint Louis Cardinals. So a lot of Demons there.
Well, the Cardinals have done that to a lot of teams. Who are
you a fan of I'm a Dodger fan, Oh, I mean, I'm
a baseball fan, you know, in the American League. I probably liked
the Blue Jays a lot of my girlfriends from Canada, so she's grown up
like loving the Jays, so I I, you know, kind of just
you know, I've also really really liked them, you know, for a
long time. So but but I was really really rooting for the Rangers.
I mean, I'm first and foremost, I'm a baseball fan. You know,
that's fantastic. You ever take the lady friend and get a hotel room
at Skydime and you know, have the room and just watch the game.
And no, we haven't done it there, but we've done like the bleacher
seats at Dodger Stadium, like where we sat like in the first row in
a home run seats, great seats there. We haven't been you know,
she's originally from Newfoundland. We've only been Toronto just in the airport on our
way to Newfoundland together. We haven't really spent any time in Toronto. So
so when we talked to you last time, we were talking about them talking
about the white load us a little bit. But I was texting you and
I was like, hey, mean, because we do we do this bit
every week where we picked two football games and this obviously Dallas Cowboys Country,
but man, the whole town is just celebrating when we're having her preyed tomorrow
tomorrow. Yeah for the Rangers, like we're having big times that we've never
had before. So I appreciate you probably know about Corey Seeker more than more
than we did being a Dodgers fan because we, uh we signed him and
we were like, okay, yeah, we've all heard of Corey Seeger.
We knew he was a big deal when he played in the World Series here.
It was COVID times. We were maybe filling the stadium halfway. It
wasn't even like a real World Series, it seems, so we didn't even
fully know what we were getting. So so you know, so true.
I mean, yes, the competition going towards the finals in twenty twenty was
still tough, but at the same time it was such an odd, you
know, fractured thing. Yeah, he was. He was hard to let
go. I was like, what you're letting Choy seeger Go. He's like
he's a legacy. He's like he's like a team dude. You know,
Rangers got a good pickup. And I love Marcus too and I've always followed
him so cool. Yeah, blue Jay's connection there too. Well, this
is John Grys, the actor who's been in the White Lotus many things of
of course, Uh, Uncle Rico and Napoleon Dynamite, played with Ryan Bingham
before. You know he he's been around a little bit. Here's just so
you know, John, you're here. You're picking for the celebrities this week
in two games. One will be the Cowboy game will be another game.
Some of the celebrities that you're matching up with are Dick Valentine of Electric six,
comedian Paul Vargiese the hot Dog Champion, Joey Chestnut one, Christina Ray
Legends, and Mike the Mosquito Moscatos. There's a lot of huge, big
name celebrities here. You were with him and the celebrities this year, Mike,
I'm sorry, John, first place at eleven four and one. You
have big shoes to fill here. The celebrities have been killing it and they're
in first place. Wait, wait, eleven four and one Bay. Yes,
wow, unstoppable. Okay, so I have to pick every what is
it? Uh? You know, it's like I pick all the games.
I picked who's gonna win each games? In every game in NFL, NBA
through the weekend, it'll be a Cowboys and Eagles, and then it'll be
Chiefs and Dolphins. Those are your games. So do the Cowboys first.
Obviously here in Cowboy County, all right, we have the Cowboys, uh
plus three plus three points? Cowboys at Eagles. Cowboys are getting three points.
I'm gonna have to Ah, boy, that's a tough call. I
think I think it's I think it's going to be the Eagles, So do
ok that's fun. A lot of people I think they're both such good teams
this year. But I just think in in Eagle Country, I don't know,
I don't know, the Cowboys can be really upsetting. You know what.
I'm gonna flip that. I'm gonna go to the Cowboys. Whatstic Cowboys
see they get some inspiration from the Rangers. Things are kind of coming up
DFW around here. John, So yeah, smart'n. I'm gonna go with
the Cowboys. And then on the other game, I'm definitely gonna go with
the Dolphins. Ah Dolphins plus one before you do know, I did love
him and I love him even more. John, when's the next time you're
coming to DFW. You have any plans to come to Dallas Fort Worth?
I yeah, I always look, I've got a lot of friends in Texas.
Obviously I go. I like, I go to Fort Worth and I
go to Dallas a lot, So yeah, I'll be down there. I
go to the Magnolia Motor Lounge, man, and there you go do a
lot of good music there. I've seen our guy on the show here,
Danny Bayliss, who plays in mini bands and hasn't mean you've probably seen him.
He probably actually hasn't Katie dan'el and the guitar, I probably am.
I've been down there. I mean, you know, I go to Austin
a lot too. I mean you know, Texas is like my my homewoay
from home. Hell yeah, man. Jennifer Coolidge cool she's amazing. I
just went to New Orleans. She had a Halloween party. It's incredible.
She's incredible. She's been great for so long. But I almost like the
I don't know if it's the white the White Elephant, the White Lotus resurgence
for her and getting some award nomination a white Elephant because Christmas is coming up.
That's right, that's right. Crimbo is right around the corner. What
were you for Halloween? I was the snow White Oh okay, hell yeah,
but it was amazing. But here's the deal, Like, she is
one of the most incredible human beings you'd ever meet. There's nothing fake about
this woman. She is who she is, and she's just an amazing I
don't know it. She's such a gracious human being. It's incredible. Well,
it props to you because a lot of people, you know, did
not even recognize maybe you and the White Lotus, the role that you played
in seasons one and two. Of course you know a lot of people like
they didn't even recognize that that was you. And props to you for you
know, doing that and then that role in the storyline. It's all incredible.
So you're a beast in that man. I mean, it's probably because
I didn't wear a wig like I did when I did. Right, that's
fair, that's fair. You know twenty years ago about uncle recall obviously,
is that twenty years how long ago? Is Laslow because this is Laslow from
real Genius. Yeah yeah, Laso Lasmo was gosh eighty five that came out.

you just got to go for the low hanging frough here. I am anyway,
but I'll tell you I'm really excited for the Rangers, and I'm really
excited for Texas. I mean, you know, they're the real team.

more people. Ever, next time you're in DFW, shoot me a text.
Will take you out for some surf and turf. I would love that

That's what we call it. Picks with Glenn's picking games against the spread with
the guests, Celebrity Picks with Glenn's and all my friends. And that's where
we go to this week's celebrity Glenn, Jose and Frisco. Hello, Jose,
I'm sorry what you yourself in? That's that works? Good morning guys.
What's up, Jose? You fired up today? Do you watch the
baseball game last night? Yeah? Absolutely? Man, Hey listen, I
grew up in Mexico City, and in Mexico they only show fourteens, the
Braves, the Dodgers, the Cubs, and the Yankees. So I grew
up a cups and so think about it, right, and then when I
come to take because when I was fifteen, dude, I fell in love
with the Rangers. So not only did my Cups win the championship in sixteen.
Now I can say that the Rangers wanted in twenty three, So super
pumped up? Hat a boy? Can I ask you? I've always been
very intrigued by going to the celebration for Dia de la Momerte. Is it
fun? Is it cool? I mean I don't want to even be stereotypical
because it's safe, because I don't know, I mean, do you recommend
that as a trip for a gringo? You? You know what they always
say, man, you get to stay in the resort, right, go
outside of it. But I think it's super safe. Man. You know,
people there are incredible, and if you do want to visit and or
experience the beauty of Mexico, you have to go in the holiday Yeah,
Los Mortos and you know, Christmas and stuff like that is amazing. Hey.
Before I do my pick, though, I want to shout out to
my kids, Marianna, Gabril and Andres. And I just sounded like Mario
Lopez, but you cross Hispanics, you crushed? Did you have an afrienda
for Halloween? No? You know what? So my kids are half white?
Uh so you know we've never done the friend that thing, but but
I definitely wanted to do that next year. We did one for a dead
dog this year. Oh yeah, you know, that's what I heard.
I heard that. I didn't even know this, but apparently leading up to
Halloween, like we celebrate different things, like, you know, celebrate the
ones that died on accidents and dogs and things like that. I never knew
that, but I guess we're can start doing that. We did it for
the dog that went missing and we assume it's dead. What does that mean?
What is it? A friend? Yeah, so it's a little it's
basically like a shrine. The candles, Yeah, and and tortillas and that
movie. What that movie? The Disney movie. Oh yeah, mo Lo
Coca, the cutest movie so good. Yeah, I've cried enough this week.
I don't want to watch anything. Thank you for Disney movies. It's
in a week of tears. Jose from Frisco. You are representing the Glenns
who are ten and six this year and in second place, So give your
yes. Justin and Sherman, Jeffrey from Fort Worth, George christ from Austin,
Mark from Flower Mount, and Danny from Dallas. Okay he did have
Yeah, all right, you gotta do Cowboys. You're gonna do one other
NFL game? What fire? So let's do you know what, Let's let's
just go Cowboys. I think Texas is going to take it all this weekend,
So why not Cowach plus three? Cowboys plus three? Okay? And
and then why why don't we double down and uh and pick the Juggernaut the
Browns versus Arizona. The Browns take it all, okay in Arizona has two
losses in a weekend. Yeah, and they just traded Josh Dobbs. It'll
be Clayton toone starting for the Browns this week, the brother of North Texas
sideline reporter Nathan Tune, who you can hear Saturdays. The ninety seven won
the freak Browns minus eight. Thank you, Jose, Yeah, thank you
guys. Thanks Jose, I see you, dude. Let's go to Danny
Bayless, who is nine six and one in third place. Daniel, it
makes the most sense to pick the Eagles over the Cowboys at home, giving
the Cowboys three points, which makes me do the opposite. I am also
picking the Cowboys, as the previous two celebrity and listener pickers have done.
I have no logic. I don't really even believe in writing the emotion of
the good DFW sports vibes. I'm just doing the opposite of what makes sense
and that seems to serve you. In this segment. The second game,
I am going to take the Baltimore Ravens over the sad Seattle Seahawks. And
what do we have that as that? A plus six for Seattle. Yeah,
Ravens favored by six. I think they will cover that. Baltimore minus
six for Danny. I am next at eight and eight and Kevin is going
in Cowboys plus three. I actually do think that the Cowboys will just win.
And part of the reason I think that Jalen hurts second in the league
in turnovers, he is given the ball aways get. He's got eleven turnovers
compared to our one Dak Prescott, who does not have that many turnovers just
five. I think I think Cowboys winning this thing outright. I think they
found something. I think We're in good shape right now. Cowboys plus three.
I'm taking Rams plus three over the Packers not going well. Jordan Love
has been told next ten game is very important for your future, buddy,
So Rams plus three over the Packers. Mike, sir Roy, you are
next and you are six nine and one. Thank you. Uh. I'm
gonna go with unlike Danny, I'm going with straight magic. I believe that
it's a time and a place for miracles. So I'm gonna just bet on
things that I want to happen. And I think if we just will it
into existence, we proved it yesterday, it can work. Give me the
Cowboys plus three to screw it, money line them, Let's go win that
game. And then yes, I'm taking the Miami Dolphins, who are in
Germany against the Kansas City Chiefs. But it's Dolphins getting a point and a
half. Let's go. Rangers win, Cowboys win, Dolphins win. All
right, Dolphins plus one for Mikey eight thirty am Sunday morning. Thank you,
Dolphins. Chiefs in Berlin. JJ also six' nine and one.
I was looking at pitches of Jalen Hurts the other night. You are a
good I'm hot. Yeah the other night. What time? Don't worry about
it. You bet ely down? What time? A mid day thing?
That's he's gorgeous? All right, Cowboys Eagles, come on. I'm never
betting against the Cowboys. Dak is eight and three against the Eagles. He's
the best against NFC East teams. Give me the boys in Philly. It's
gonna be a great game. I'm excited to see it. Two great looking
quarterbacks out there on the field. Okay, I'm at their game. What
are you talking about? Nobody is more quarterback horny, quarterback horny of their
franchisees. We do need her to rank all thirty two d from tomorrow tomorrow.
Seriously, maybe next week, not off the ranger high. We're not
gonna have anything for tomorrow afterday. Maybe we'll talk about the actual game last
night tomorrow. No one cares about it, that's the thing. And so,
oh my other game, uh, Vikings versus the Falcons. I think
I'm gonna pick the Falcons. Taylor Honey Keys getting the start. Yeah yeah,
he is in The Vikings don't have a quarterback anymore. Yeah. Well,
if the idiots can figure out how to get Bejond the football, Oh
stupid, they are stupid. Wasn't he sick though last week? It was
two weeks ago, a bit of a headache, But then they gave him
one carry in the fourth quarter, so it's like, how bad was the
Headache's hand, the young man the football. We'll get Malcolm's picked tomorrow.
Coming up next, we will do our predictions from the Ghost Pepper Pavilion for
Cowboy, for the Ranger game from last night. See if anyone get some
points. But Danny's gonna spind the wheel because you owe us, Danny,
spend the wheel now, in the wheel now and I'll pay off next.
Okay, we'll spend the wheel now. Yeah, I hit it. Come
on, oh oh oh great, come up, come corioke Kamakazi koyoke.
And you're picking the song, well, it has to be a Bob Seger
song in honor of Choreoke the World Series MVP Danny, So pick your Bob
Seger song that you're gonna sing at the beginning of the next segment, I'll
tell you what we'll pick up. We'll pick the song next. But let's
just go ahead and turn the page on this segment. All right, that's
next, more wheelspins. I promise you this show is not ending without me
or somebody venmoing seventy one dollars to a random listener, maybe more than once.
Ranger Money's coming up
