WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.440
You're listening to the downbeat on ninety
seven to one, the freak. The

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:08.199
MAVs game was wild last night.
Get to that at seven plus something weird

3
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.679
that happened in a college basketball game. It's ever good on the coach has

4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:18.320
to go up to the get the
get the crowd microphone and go hey everyone,

5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:24.960
I'm right here. Everyone stop doing
this at seven. Remind everyone they

6
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:29.160
live in Cincinnati, not Cleveland.
Yeah, that's the best one. And

7
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:33.719
Sammy wish that was sam one.
That was a weird one in a NFL

8
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.200
game. Yeah, we have to
yell at the grab the mic at ANFL

9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.520
game. I might trying to find
that and grab that And is that hard

10
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:44.439
to do? Feels like it like
just to work? Why was there a

11
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:49.600
microphone? You gotta good? Well, you know they're at the I guess

12
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.719
for the national anthem singer. Like
how how quickly can you get a micro

13
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:58.240
a live mic to the entire HT
and T stadium for instance? And man,

14
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.560
I'll tell you, the world of
AV always continues to impress me.

15
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:10.760
Depends on where you work. Sometimes
you work at places where the AV continues

16
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.000
to disappoint you. I don't know, look behind you. How long has

17
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:18.719
that TV been out of commission.
It's windy, and that's a part of

18
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:19.920
the most important thing in the world. And that's part of the reason why

19
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.840
we don't have a Direct TV situation
right now, because the wind keeps blowing

20
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.200
the satellite off the room. I'm
a real off the roof. Yeah,

21
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.840
it's kind a pile of satellites.
Yeah, a call into the building.

22
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.120
They have a twelve hour availability to
be here. Well, we'll be here

23
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.959
from time to eight am and eight
pm. I love how put another satellite

24
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:44.599
up there. The satellite companies like
Direct TV and Dish Network because their technology

25
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.319
is always evolving and their hardware is
getting upgraded. That if you have an

26
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.040
account for a long time and then
maybe you discontinue it or you want to

27
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.959
get the get it updated, they
just leave the damn old dish up there.

28
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.280
I've seen houses in my neighborhood with
like four dishes and they're all the

29
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:05.400
same, just like you can see
the graduation of technology as it goes,

30
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.520
and it's just it's all like a
dish museum on top of these homes.

31
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.000
They was like, I just keep
it. Did you ever have an old

32
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:16.080
friend with a real satellite dish.
Oh my, yes, you guys have

33
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.639
that. I didn't have one,
but my best friend in high school happened.

34
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:24.840
I think I've told you guys this
story. That his parents always kept

35
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.319
it at one end of the satellite
because you had to, I mean,

36
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.319
to dial that thing in. You
had to rotate it around to get certain

37
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:36.599
channels. And it took a long
time to get three minutes to get from

38
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.719
ESPN to Nickelodeon. Seriously, it
was serious, like I'm not kidding minutes,

39
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:46.759
and yeah, you had your coordinates, and his parents always kept it

40
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.159
on religious programming, so it was
like the Bible Network and all that crap.

41
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.639
But we found out that if you
explored and went one hundred and eighty

42
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:01.879
degrees from north to south, from
heavy to hell, we could watch what

43
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.479
we called back then the screw channel. Yes, that was the first time

44
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:16.520
I ever saw, No, the
first time I ever saw Pinnatrociones at your

45
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:22.360
friend's house, and I remember we
dialed in. I don't know, he

46
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.120
kind of gets pixelated and then it's
diald in. There it is, and

47
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:30.120
we're just sitting there going what is
this? We're probably thirteen fourteen, Yeah

48
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.240
you're ready, Yeah, you felt
strange. Yeah, it's like kind of

49
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.319
weird. You know, you felt
like you knew something. It was something

50
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.280
you weren't supposed to be watching.
But we got over that pretty quickly,

51
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:46.639
to the point where his younger brother
would be on lookout for if his parents

52
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.159
would go out, you know,
and you could see the highway. He

53
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.879
lived kind of out in the country
and you could see the highway from Kicking

54
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.599
Dust a mile away. Yeah,
and he'd see the headlights of their car

55
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.199
coming in. They go, Mom
and Dad are coming in like this.

56
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.719
And the goal was to get the
satellite to stop back to Jesus' lay Back

57
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.159
to Heaven the second they pulled into
the drive, because if they pulled in

58
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:15.319
and opened the door and they heard
that, they would know they knew that

59
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.839
we were watching the screw channel.
That's amazing. Huh. Yeah, we

60
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.839
had a big one and it was
weirdly r to the side of the yard.

61
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.079
You know. I had a golf
ball through it one time. Didn't

62
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.680
affect it too much, just had
a big hole in it, just bladed

63
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:32.399
one. Yeah, it's kind of
crazy. Is it still there? No,

64
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:36.360
that's gone. Yeah, I got
it removed years probably twenty years ago

65
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.680
now. But it was there for
the first five, six, seven,

66
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.199
eight years of my life. I
remember the channel. G five nine was

67
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:50.759
the ESPN and G five fourteen was
ESPN two five fifteen HBO, G five

68
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.879
sixteen Cinemax. But then if you
wanted to go to like Nickelodeon, it

69
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.160
was like S four twenty three,
whole nother galaxy. And you're just d

70
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.920
Now in my head, I'm like, like New York East fans in Bristol,

71
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.600
and then you gotta get to Nickelodeon. It's gott to move to Florida.

72
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.959
And it's not what was happening,
but that's what you thought was happening

73
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.079
as a kid. That's why it
took so long. It's got to get

74
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:19.360
to Florida. So these satellites are
constantly orbiting, right if everyone else is

75
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.560
whipping in a circle around the planet, I guess. But the definition of

76
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:30.199
orbit, right, yes, well, I just never thought about that before.

77
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.160
It's we dow that if you're using
a out so then the satellite you're

78
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.160
using changes. I know, we
don't and as we learned, we don't

79
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.199
know this stuff. Well, as
we learned the other day, there's four

80
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:45.079
nineteen million satellites up there, not. There are not nineteen million. It

81
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.079
was like fifteen thousand or fifteen hundred. It was like nine thousand. Yeah,

82
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:54.040
nine active satellites, fifteen million.
Let's support Texas and the most important

83
00:05:54.040 --> 00:06:00.399
thing in the world. I want
to write a new one of those riety

84
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:15.399
I love it. We need a
hip hop one. Wake me a country.

85
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.199
It is funny. Yeah, I
know. He's like, all right,

86
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.879
well, there goes my evening.
Go dance with a thought of ours

87
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:35.120
that changes to eighty four hundred active
satellites and various Earth orbits. Make it

88
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:42.639
reggae right now? Do reggae?
Hi everyone, Hello, all right.

89
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:47.199
I woke up to this news this
morning. Being a native Native Ish Texan

90
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.879
and coming from this area. Kevin, you somewhat too. We got a

91
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:59.079
pretty serious situation unfolding out in our
very own Texas Panhandle because early this morning,

92
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:06.319
a massive series of wildfires swept across
that area near Amarillo, which prompted

93
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:15.759
evacuations, cut off power to thousands, forced the at least temporary shutdown of

94
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:23.600
Okay. Didn't know this nuclear weapons
facility. As strong winds, dry grass,

95
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:30.959
and unseasonably warm temperatures fed the blazes, so an unknown number of homes

96
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:36.439
and other structures in Hutchinson County were
damaged or destroyed, and the main facility

97
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:43.879
that disassembles America's nuclear arsenal paused operations
Tuesday night. They said they're going to

98
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:49.399
reopen for normal work today and that
employees of the plant should go ahead and

99
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:59.199
plan on showing up for their scheduled
shifts now. Our Governor Greg Abbott issued

100
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.720
a disaster deckl for sixty counties because
the largest blaze, which they're calling the

101
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:13.839
Smokehouse Creek fire, has burned almost
five hundred square miles. Dang, it's

102
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.639
more. That is more than twice
its size since the fire started on Monday,

103
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.000
so this has been going on for
a couple of days. Felt like,

104
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.560
you know, it's contained, we
can manage this. But I think

105
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.399
because we've had ninety or near ninety
degree temperatures and winds kind of ramp things

106
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.840
up overnight, they're having a difficult
time containing this thing. And a lot

107
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.320
of folks have been evacuated from their
homes. A lot of these homes have

108
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:45.720
been destroyed or at least damaged.
They don't know quite yet what may have

109
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.600
caused the blaze, but it has
torn through some sparsely populated counties, and

110
00:08:50.639 --> 00:09:00.480
they're surrounded by these rolling planes,
so there's really no mountainous topography out there

111
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:03.679
to kind of constrict the wind,
so it's just rolling through. They call

112
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.879
it the rolling planes for a reason. Kevin, Yeah, keV. Now

113
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.480
the weather forecast looks somewhat favorable for
firefighters because we as we woke up today

114
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.679
at fifty degrees. When I went
to bed last night it was seventy three.

115
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.480
We've got cooler temperatures, less wind
out there. I believe it's all

116
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.679
moving here, and we got possible
rain tomorrow. But for now, the

117
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:33.120
situation's pretty dire in a lot of
areas up there. The plant, which

118
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:39.039
is the nuclear Assemble nuclear weapon assembly
plant, it's called the plan Text plant,

119
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:39.960
which when I looked at that,
I thought, what is that?

120
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:48.440
Like a vegetarian tampon? Pan text? Pan Text it is. Yeah,

121
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:56.480
it's northeast of a Mario that's probably
Panhandle in Texas, mixed together probably Amario,

122
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:00.840
which means yellow. Have you been
to a Mario plenty? Have you?

123
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.399
Have you? Yeah? How is
it going on there? I think

124
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:13.000
that's the largest Texas city I've never
been to. Really, Yeah? St.

125
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.320
Angelo? You have been there,
Yes, you have. Oh you've

126
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.679
probably driven through it to go to
Yeah, yeah, I've done Abilene,

127
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.399
been Abilene, Waco, Yeah of
course. Oh yeah. I used to

128
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.320
love of course high school football for
Fox Sports Southwest. Every Friday, I

129
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.279
would travel all over the state,
all these towns and cities. It was

130
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:35.960
really great my first couple of years
of living in Texas. I got to

131
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.360
see a big chunk of the state. And we flew to Lubbock and we

132
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.799
did a game in damn it,
small town west of Lubbock. Tiny,

133
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.039
but never got up to Amarillo.
Because you got a good feel for small

134
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.440
town Texas. The Yeah, a
lot of town squares, Yeah, a

135
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.039
lot of dairy queens, a lot
of dairy queens, a lot of assips.

136
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.200
Well cause he's never seen in Alsips. It was the dq big game

137
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:03.039
of the week. Ah, So
we'd have to shoot at the local dairy

138
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.159
queen every single Friday. Like that's
where we did the first part of the

139
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.639
video before we went to the game. So I got I literally went to

140
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.879
a dozens and dozens of dairy queens
in small Texas town anyway, never been

141
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.039
there. It does sound boring,
Yeah, pretty boring. That's all going

142
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.799
on out there. Yeah, they
do have in an Amarillo that has that

143
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.159
big ass seventy two ounce steak that
if you eat the whole thing you get

144
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.799
it for free. Yes, yeah, that's a great idea. Will Ferrell

145
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:35.440
stopped there last year or something.
So this this pan text plant, which

146
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:41.159
is northeast of Amarillo, they evacuated
non essential staff from the site on Tuesday

147
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:48.080
night out of an abundance of caution. Now, this plant is has long

148
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.919
for a long time been the main
United States site for both assembling and disassembling

149
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:58.000
atomic bombs. They completed theirs.
Their most recent bomb that they completed was

150
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.360
in nineteen ninety one, but they
have dismantled thousands since then. And early

151
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.320
this morning they tweeted that the facility
is open for normal day shift operations and

152
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.840
that all personnel were to report for
duty according to their assigned schedule. In

153
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.919
Borger, which is a community of
about thirteen thousand, it's north of Pantechs.

154
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:26.159
Hutchinson County Emergency Management Services personnel planned
a convoy to take evacuees from one

155
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:31.840
shelter to another ahead of expected power
outages and overnight temperatures well below freezing man

156
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:39.120
we bitch about the weather in the
DFDUB. The weather in the Panhandle is

157
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:45.960
an effing wild card. Yes,
you can go from three degrees to three

158
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.320
hundred degrees in what seems like eighteen
hours. It is bananas out there and

159
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:58.879
wind, and it's flat and it's
boring. So that's why they put a

160
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.360
facility like this there, because it
makes sense. I didn't know that far

161
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.519
from well, if the things go
wrong, you're not killing that many people,

162
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.519
I guess. I don't know.
I didn't know that we had a

163
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:15.399
nuclearigh like that and has no idea. I'm shocked me. I was like,

164
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.559
yeah, it makes sense because you
imagine that it would be in New

165
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.840
Mexico, Arizona. You know,
we think of Nevada a lot. In

166
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:28.759
Utah, I'm not surprised, but
yeah, Now, the city that I

167
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.960
saw come up time and time again
when kind of looking through these reports was

168
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.480
a city called Canadian, which is
a town of about two thousand people.

169
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:39.679
So we're looking at you know,
high school. Yeah, yeah, I'm

170
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.240
about kind of like the size of
the towns that Kevin and myself grew up

171
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.240
in. They're about one hundred miles
northeast of Amarillo and later on Tuesday,

172
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:54.200
they urged anyone who remained in the
city and the town to shelter in place

173
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.480
or at the high school gym because
roads were closed. They couldn't even get

174
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.240
out. So that because I read
had one article that said that the city

175
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:07.519
of people in the city of Canadian
were basically trapped. So it's like,

176
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:13.720
you know, just stay where you're
at. My uncle lives in Bushland,

177
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.720
which is just a few miles west
of Amarillo. Like I remember when we

178
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.279
went to go see him, it
was like you were going to Ambillo,

179
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.440
Like even though the name of his
towns Bushland. I just texted him,

180
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.799
are you safe? Because I don't
get when you look at the map and

181
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.320
you really see where it's at,
you go, whoa, that's and that

182
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.480
could go anywhere too, but doesn't
it's kind of north that Pampa area too,

183
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:46.440
jeez. As late as last night, the fires were twenty to twenty

184
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:52.919
five miles from the city of Amarillo
because wind was blowing wildfire smoke into the

185
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:58.080
city. This could affect people.
That's a pretty big city with respiratory issues,

186
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.279
so you think about folks in nursing
homes and hospitals or just people that

187
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.639
are you know at home with some
have difficulty breathing already. This isn't going

188
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.039
to make matters any better for them. And then finally, let's see the

189
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.919
National Weather Service issued red flag warnings
and fire danger alerts for several other states

190
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.960
through the midsection of the country.
As winds over forty miles per hour,

191
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.600
combined with the warm temps, s, low humidity, and dry winter vegetation,

192
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.320
they make conditions right for wildfire.
So they're even alerting other states like,

193
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.399
Hey, it's a pretty bad down
here, you might just want to

194
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.679
be pretty vigilant. It says it's
burned through three hundred thousand acres more than

195
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.279
four hundred and fifty square miles,
and was zero percent contained this morning.

196
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.080
Yeah, the fire is now twice
the size it reached Monday. Now,

197
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:50.720
I saw I saw a some photos
with a fire station that had flower mound

198
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:56.840
on it, and I just assume
there's a flower mound near that area,

199
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.960
or there's a fire department called the
Flower Mound Fire Department, because and if

200
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.720
not, then you've got fire departments
from other cities as far away from the

201
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:07.960
DFW, you know, making their
ways out there to help out. That's

202
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:11.840
very common, very common. I
was amazed, like we had a big

203
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:18.360
one in only last summer, and
just as wild being in town while that

204
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.600
was happenings, just seeing like which
tall falls gram and then all the small

205
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:29.000
towns they're fire trucks in all of
them. Different designs, yeah, different.

206
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.559
Yeah. Man. I know we
always talk about and I know several

207
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:36.639
of us probably have people in Q
to do this segment, But ask a

208
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.320
blank. I think we've had who
have we had on before? Think we've

209
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.600
done too many? But did we
do a couple when we were on Afternoons?

210
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.320
I feel like we did. But
man, ask a firefighter, because

211
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:56.000
man, there's something about the culture
of firefighters and that world that those dudes

212
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:03.200
reside in. It's just so unique
and they truly behave like actual brothers.

213
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.480
Yeah, you know the brother The
amount of the amount of firefighters just from

214
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:11.480
this far south that responded to you
know, the attacks on nine to eleven,

215
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.519
I mean firefighters from all over the
country that were just we got to

216
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.160
go. There was like a call
to duty. Well, and like for

217
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.880
the it's unlimited how big fire can
be. Yeah, Like I think for

218
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.720
a police response, I suppose there's
a limit to how many you would need,

219
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:33.640
but no one's equipped to handle a
fire like this. Maillo. I

220
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.119
used to know the fire chief in
Flagstaff, Arizona, and they would do

221
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.279
that so much. They'd be off
from California and they're just ready to go

222
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.480
anywhere in Arizona, anywhere in a
neighboring state if they're needed, because you

223
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:49.839
have to just congregate together because no
one's equipped handle anything three hundred thousands acres.

224
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.119
You know, it's just not even
you couldn't prepare for that if you

225
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.319
paid everyone in the city to be
a fireman, like Malcolm has been.

226
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:02.559
My almost three year old son has
been obsessed with firefighters for a long time,

227
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:07.720
but man recently the uptick and his
interest is incredible. He went as

228
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:11.400
a firefighter on Halloween and kind of
developed a renewed interest in it. For

229
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.519
seven or eight days straight from the
moment he woke up in the morning.

230
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:19.160
He wanted to wear his fireman uniform
until he went to bed at night.

231
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.880
It was only when temperatures reached ninety
one degrees that we told him it's like,

232
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.920
you cannot wear this stick. Yeah, you simply cannot waste switch back

233
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.200
and wanting to grow up to be
a nudist, right, I'm just sitting

234
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.079
naked in the backyard with a popsicle. Yeah, but he you know,

235
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.240
I can't. I don't know if
I told you guys this, but we

236
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.559
drove by an area and our home
where firefighters were training. They were tearing

237
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.920
down this church that was up for
a demo anyway, and we stopped and

238
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.279
watched for like thirty minutes, and
he looked at me and goes, I

239
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:49.279
want to do that. That's cute. I would you know, Look,

240
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.960
I'm sure they don't get paid a
lot and the dangers involved in that,

241
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.799
but dude, if he ended up, you know, that's the career path,

242
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:02.000
noble job. Nothing would make me
more proud if that was his passion

243
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.160
was to be a firefighter. Yeah, totally fine with that. Would I'd

244
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.960
support anything he wanted to do,
But that would that would kind of warm

245
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.160
your heart in a special way if
your kid ended up like really developing a

246
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:17.839
true passion for that type of work. But text firefighters would love you,

247
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.359
guys. Extra Man says each department
has a wildland team that will get sent

248
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:25.160
to these kinds of disasters, including
the Texas Task Force. Well, I

249
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:29.480
CA in small towns it's a lot
of volunteer firefighters too. Sure. Yeah.

250
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.079
And the other thing that you've responded
to another text for interesting, He

251
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.079
said, He's from the Panhandle.
My mom works for that nuclear nuclear bomb

252
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:40.279
facility, lives in the Panhandle.
They were on standby for evacuation and Kevin

253
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.240
asked if he could call in and
he said I can't right now. Mentioned

254
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:45.359
the town of Canadian was surrounded by
fires as of last night. They couldn't

255
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.319
even evacuate, which is really ef
and scary. But he also added that

256
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.599
pan texts that facility the only facility
in the country where the bomb, where

257
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:57.759
the bomb and the detonator are in
the same facility. Wow, right here

258
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:02.680
in Texas, Texas. My uncle
just sent me an update too, he

259
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:07.119
said, Uh, Uncle Craig,
report live from Uncle Craig, Uncle Craig.

260
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.920
Lots of smoke and a little ash. The only evacuations in Amroller in

261
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:12.720
the northern part, and we live
in the south. Closest fire was twelve

262
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:18.559
miles away though, okay, twelve
miles away, that's nuts. Keep an

263
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.599
eye on that Sitch Air tractor might
get the call today. Oh are you

264
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.519
gonna have to scramble to fly SORTI
is that why you're wearing a flight suit

265
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.400
today? Yeap, in case you're
needed. Yeah, you guys didn't see

266
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.839
the plane I put out front in
the lawn. Do they do the water

267
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.279
scoop out of a lake and don't? That's a bag? Yes, that's

268
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.400
so cool. How is that typically
a hell? That's a helicopter though,

269
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:45.400
that does that. No, they've
built planes planes, and it's that they

270
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.039
have other chemicals that they drop on
too. But if you cheat it and

271
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.559
there's a lake, we're just gonna
scoop and scoop and dump. Yeah,

272
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:55.240
it's on all the TV. It's
amazing. It's about the big story in

273
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:57.519
the It's you know, it's the
big story in the world today. Yeah,

274
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.759
stay on alert. You never know
when you're gonna get the call to

275
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.359
hop on air tractor and get out
there and fight some fire. You know

276
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.640
what. You're our very own little
master of the air, aren't you sure?

277
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.519
Is? Look at you insisted on
us installing the fire pole in here

278
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.079
the ground floor. We all tiptoe
passed. I feel like that's how we

279
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.200
have to get off of our floor
these days with all the constructions. Exactly,

280
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.720
we guys take care of that Dalmatian
while I take off. Okay,

281
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:29.400
coming up next MAVs. Oh boy, it was a wild one. We've

282
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.680
got amazing calls. It was one
of the best NBA games of the year,

283
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:37.319
no doubt. Maybe ever put it
and will next time. Ice haven't

284
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:37.680
one. The free
