WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.319
I played today with a ton of
gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity to do

2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:06.200
this. I'm really glad I get
to do it again tomorrow, and I'm

3
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:26.600
gonna remind myself I'm a dog and
I'm ready for this moment. Oh well,

4
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.600
no more, damn time, six
o'clock, right on the butt,

5
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:40.600
Thursday, April eighteen, twenty twenty
four. It's a dirty down beat Mike's

6
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:49.039
royd Any Baylist, JJ Jackson Nokevio
Today. This Italian adventure continues. But

7
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.359
we've got a good little show.
I was just scrolling through the run sheet

8
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:59.399
and the thing that popped out I
see Toronto gold heist. Yes story,

9
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.079
I didn't even know about. It
happened a couple of years back. They

10
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.200
made some arrests, but the details
of this are fantastic. I did a

11
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:15.480
glance at that last night while prepping
hard and uh yeah, give me heist

12
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.079
talking any anytime we can get it. That'll be in Dingu's morning news.

13
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.799
Who would miss that? Who would
missed that at a thirty nothing better from

14
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.439
eight thirty to nine o'clock? Who
would miss it on the radio than Dingo's

15
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:38.159
morning News. I he asked the
Downbeat at nine o'clock. We got some

16
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.200
good ones coming in on that.
If you want to participate in that bad

17
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:42.439
Boy, you can text us good
morning. Somebody text us good morning.

18
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.799
Where's a normal good morning? Downbeat
guy usually hits us at exactly six o'clock.

19
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.480
Maybe something happened to him. Maybe
who's on a plane over the Atlantic?

20
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.879
I know who's not in a plane
over the Atlantic. Yeah, yeah,

21
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.480
our sweet prints. It's nice to
hear from him. We got some

22
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.920
Cavio updates. He seems to be
at peace with the way things have worked

23
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.520
out. Yeah, just thirty minutes
ago, he finally hit us up.

24
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:15.919
Confirmed alive. He's on a boat
on Lake Como right now. The picture

25
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:22.080
looks great. I don't know too
much it's about Lake Como, but I

26
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.879
know that George Clooney has a house
there, and he did just send us

27
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:30.080
a video of George Clooney's villa where
Michael Jordan and Obama have been seen hanging

28
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:36.800
out. And he is on the
water of Lake Como right now. Went

29
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.400
to Lake Como when I was a
little kid. Because there's a guy named

30
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:46.560
Fabio Bootsy okay, who was the
Ali. I can tie anything back to

31
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:53.719
powerboat racing, but he was.
He's an Italian boat designer and propeller maker,

32
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.800
and my dad would get all of
his propellers for the race boats from

33
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.479
Fabio Bootsy. But I think they
were kind of rivals. But you know,

34
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.159
sometimes you have to get your stuff
from arrival and not too many people

35
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:07.719
in this game. You can still
be friends with the arrival. Yeah,

36
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:12.639
of course, of course you can't. And we went to his shop in

37
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:20.840
Lake Como. And how little were
you that trip? I was probably high

38
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:28.759
single digits, eight nine, ten, eleven, twelve. That's speedboat life

39
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.360
or powerboat life. Probably afforded you
some travels that otherwise you wouldn't get access

40
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.599
to. You. No, that
was the coolest thing. Like I've told

41
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.360
you before, it felt we got
to do rich people's stuff. You know,

42
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:45.159
my dad was just a hired gun
that because rich people own these race

43
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.800
boats and pay for these race boats. And then if a rich person,

44
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.560
think about it, if you're forty, right, and you want to be

45
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.479
an athlete and you're rich and you
have no athletic But you know, it

46
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:00.199
was really, at least back then
and still now, one of the I

47
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.840
think few sports, if you want
to call it that that you can get

48
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:12.439
into with a lot of money and
not I guess a lifetime of skill or

49
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.120
whatever would be required to break into
a sport. So if you had a

50
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.120
couple hundred million dollars and you're like, man, I need some adventure,

51
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:24.600
you know, you want to be
a rich eclectic person, like, maybe

52
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:30.519
I'll get a powerboat racing, because
to drive a powerboat, I'm not going

53
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.399
to lie. I've never driven a
boat over one hundred miles an hour with

54
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.399
me driving, But I don't want
to say anyone can do it. But

55
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.879
you know, you just have to
have a boat and have some balls and

56
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.160
learn it and do it. But
you have to hire someone who knows how

57
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.600
to build a boat, rig a
boat, engineer a boat, put the

58
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.759
engines in, make it reliable.
Anyway, that's what my dad did.

59
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.439
So rich people would contact my dad
and hire him and say, hey,

60
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.439
I want to try to win this
championship and I need a boat to do

61
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.759
it. So does it kind of
benefit them to especially if they own a

62
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:11.199
company like I know your dad was
affiliated with the Popeyes guy Popeyes Louisiana Chicken.

63
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.759
Yeah, it kind of helps them, I don't know, in some

64
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.879
way promote their brand. Yeah,
although you know, it's boat racing,

65
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.160
so it's not that popular. But
I guess it's just like you know,

66
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:25.079
a NASCAR has a main sponsor and
you know they painted all over the boat.

67
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.519
A lot of people see it,
and in the South, I mean

68
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.399
there are a lot of people that
you know, relatively, I guess,

69
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.839
but no, the Popeye boat,
you know, it was kind of the

70
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.600
most recognizable boat, yeah at that
time. So yeah, it does that

71
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:43.720
work as an advertising arm I suppose
marketing, but it's kind of just a

72
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.439
plaything for wealthy people. But yeah, that was al Copeland. He was

73
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.639
great. You know, he hired
my dad and they won a bunch of

74
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:54.800
national championships and some a couple of
world championships. Is amazing. But anyway,

75
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.759
so we got to do a lot
of crazy stuff on the dime of

76
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.519
these incredibly wealthy people who you know, my dad would be like, yeah,

77
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.639
we'll go win this. We'll go
try to win this race, and

78
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:09.240
I want my family to be there. So yeah, we got to you

79
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.839
know, go to Italy a couple
of times and do races there. But

80
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.079
my dad grew up racing for real, and he told us I'm pretty sure

81
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:23.800
it was on Lake Como where Kevin
more death near near where Kevin walks in

82
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.079
near water, in near water.
But he said there was a race,

83
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.639
and I think it was like home. It may have been have Asu because

84
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:34.240
he used to erase tunnel boats in
Lake Havasu and he won nineteen sixty nine

85
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:40.639
and seventy world championships. I think
in Lake Havasu. But he's like,

86
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:43.120
there's a race. I think it
was like Coma where they were racing and

87
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.319
this there's a wind, or this
guy got pushed off course on his boat,

88
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.480
or maybe there's a malfunction and he
went under a dock and essentially was

89
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.160
beheaded Jesus, Yeah, while racing. And I think it was like home.

90
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.199
And I think he told us that
story when we were there, you

91
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.959
know, probably on our way to
Bobby O Bootsy's propeller factory. He got

92
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.800
beheaded by the by the doc.
Okay, so they went under the dog.

93
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.680
Yeah, he was. It was
just one guy. These are it's

94
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.040
a boat like not much bigger than
this table. You know. My dad

95
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.560
was numbers nine eight, up up
and away. That was his boat,

96
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:30.120
God Almighty. But yeah, there
was Jim don't stand up him Jim and

97
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:36.720
Re. Oh no, my god, growing up with your dad, I

98
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:44.199
mean that that sounds like something that's
incredibly time consuming to dedicate your life to

99
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.680
to be as excellent as he was
in that world. Like with anything,

100
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.959
you got to put in the hours
to be elite, and your papa was

101
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.120
an elite racer. Yeah. Did
did you feel like he was gone a

102
00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:01.240
lot? Or and when he was
around was here? Because I would think

103
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.399
that, you know, seventies eighties
dad, you know, yeah, I'll

104
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:11.720
be in the garage tweaking this engine. I think both. But he worked

105
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.319
really long hours and it was kind
of well, it was year round,

106
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.439
but it was seasonal where he was
really slammed, like six am until you

107
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.279
know, seven or eight pm working. But it depends on what they had,

108
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.439
you know. And it's funny because
when you're I didn't realize this.

109
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:30.560
I just knew, ooh, we
get to go to the boat race this

110
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:31.960
weekend. You know, when you're
a little kid, you don't really understand.

111
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.879
Yeah, the work and then it's
just your life, you know,

112
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.240
you get to I don't know,
it's not abnormal, but yeah, it

113
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.039
sounds like he was cool about like
including the boys and all of the trips

114
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.480
and races and probably as much as
he could, Yeah, best he could.

115
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.759
The thing was that's I mean,
that's why I am from Miami,

116
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.480
Florida. You know, like it's
a weird I don't know, not too

117
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:58.799
many regular ass white dudes from you
know, native home is Miami, Florida.

118
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.759
But he had a shop that was
by the water. And if you're

119
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.200
a boat racer, you need marina. You live where the industry exactly.

120
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.960
Yeah, So that's why we grew
up in Miami. And there were probably

121
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.960
a half dozen races in and around
Florida, so we went to all those

122
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.399
races. The World Championships are in
Key West every year still are making it

123
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.480
just a couple hours down the road
to go to Key West, So we

124
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.440
would go to all those races.
We didn't go to too many in the

125
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.879
Great Lakes, although we did go
to a few, Like in the summer

126
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.639
they would do the Great Lakes and
the Mississippi River, and then there was

127
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:35.720
a few in Europe that we did
get to go to, but most of

128
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:37.600
them were probably Florida where we went. Yeah, I told you my first

129
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:43.440
time ever in the state of Texas
was I was a probably sixteen or something.

130
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.799
Never been to Texas and one summer, you know, your parents might

131
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.080
hire you to do a summer job
type thing. Maybe I was fourteen,

132
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.720
it was my first job, so
yeah, I was younger in sixteen and

133
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.840
my dad he got hired by some
guy and the boat was called the sp

134
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.600
to Houston. I don't know if
that was a sponsor or oil or something.

135
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.440
I have no idea, but my
dad built this boat and to transport

136
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.639
it, they'd put it, you
know, like kind of leaning on its

137
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.480
side, like maybe to twenty degree
angle on a big truck, yeah,

138
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.720
and drive it otherwise would take up
all three lanes. Yeah, exactly.

139
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.480
Why is a wide load anyway?
But yeah, even on a tilt,

140
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.840
you'd have to to do that.
I mean, and like, among the

141
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.559
crap my dad was in charge of
for the really rich guy is yeah,

142
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.720
the truck, how to get on
the truck, how to transport the boat.

143
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.639
You know, it was just basically
in charge of everything. So then

144
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.159
the rich dude could fly in on
a helicopter, you know, with his

145
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.320
Portia sunglasses on and his racing suit
and get out and wave and get in

146
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.559
his boat, hopefully win a trophy
and wave a checker flag and then fly

147
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.440
home, you know. And my
Dad's like, all right, I got

148
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.200
eight hours. We got to get
this boat out of the water, cleaned,

149
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.120
put on the truck, and start
the transportation to begin. Anyway,

150
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:58.759
just a lot of logistics, sweep
the hellapad. That was your job.

151
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.080
No, not that bad. But
I kind of assisted in the guy who

152
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.120
drove the boat from Miami to Corpus
Christi for a summer for a race.

153
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.600
So yeah, that was the first
time I was in Texas As. We

154
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.879
drove that boat. You drove a
You and one other dude drove a boat

155
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.559
across the gulf. No, no, no, no, no, in

156
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.840
a truck. In a truck,
okay, Yeah, drove on land all

157
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.600
right. From my seems like he
would just take the straight line. Just

158
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:24.440
I don't get across the gulf.
It's like saying, we're going to be

159
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.080
in the Indy five hundred. Won't
just drive the race card in the Apples.

160
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.240
You'll get their way faster. That's
a good point. It's not it's

161
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:37.320
not how it works. But yeah, that was my first time in Texas.

162
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.799
Was just what you have to do? What was your job? Nothing?

163
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.519
Really, probably I was fourteen.
It is probably to keep me out

164
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.399
of trouble, get me out of
I guess it was Sarah, so the

165
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.440
time, get me out of Sarasota, get me doing something. And your

166
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:58.120
your job was to listen to off
color jokes. Yeah, and inhale cigarettes,

167
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.039
cigarette smug. Who is the guy's
name. He's a character man.

168
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.240
He was funny. I mean,
it does like teach you a little bit

169
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.360
about travel and life and see and
stuff and and and a little bit of

170
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.320
work ethic. Although I didn't have
all that much responsibility and didn't it really

171
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.559
impact positively my work ethic. But
I don't know how that started. But

172
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.120
yeah, talking about on Lake Como, Yeah, that's awesome. Well,

173
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.440
we do have a big show today, Mikey. But I can't think of

174
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.960
a better way to start the real
meat of our show than with this what

175
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.440
white where is he is? He
popping up from under the table. We

176
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.759
could only be so lucky, really
popping up from under the table with bags

177
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:54.639
full of segment ideas, bag proda
bags and segment ideas. All right,

178
00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:00.840
just me, one person surveyed me. In the top five answers are on

179
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.759
the board, and there's only one
contestant that you We did this once before.

180
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:09.519
It's just family feud, only you
decide it is an impromptu family feud

181
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.840
in honor of our fallen hero Kevio, Who's I don't know, bobbing around

182
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.759
in Lake Como avoiding docs? All
right? Top five answers are on the

183
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:24.960
board. Things on the downbeat that
would make Kevy Oh cry if he missed

184
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:35.000
them while on vacation. Okay,
five answers are on the board. Dave

185
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:43.399

00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.679
no, no, you're in the
right field, you know what.

187
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.399
I kind of should give that one
to you. An in studio performance and

188
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.360
interview not with Dave Matthews but Paramore, Okay, the band that he won't

189
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:01.799
shut up about. He does love
Paramore. Don't get it well, he

190
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:07.600
can't stop. No, seriously,

195
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.480

and has one person that he can hand

197
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.240
the cure for free to and he
gives it to us, and we don't

198
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:50.799
We just put it on the ground
and leave nopem. I don't know,

199
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:56.960
I might need clues. Come on, Mikey, you can do this.

200
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:05.279
Me one more. Scottie Shuffler and
Jordan's Feith and Bryson de Shampau all come

201
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.360
in a studio together. That would
be awesome. I don't know if that

202
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:13.159
would make him cry. Alright,
you ready, I'm ready, okay.

203
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:22.240
Number five an endorsement deal with Aviation
Gin. Number four a canceled show meeting

206
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:45.120
have got that one because he has
admitted to the world that. And number

207
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.000
one the number one thing on the
downbeat that would make Kevy Oh cry if

208
00:15:48.000 --> 00:16:00.840
he missed it while on vacation.
An impromptu game of family. You think

209
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.600
of things, you throw them against
the walls. Sometimes they stick, sometimes

210
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:10.519
they slide right down onto the floor. Myke like Coasta when cooking it properly,

211
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:14.200
right? Would you start that music
again? What's that first instrument?

212
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:19.080
You're the music that Yeah, that
rising sounds like a slide guitar maybe the

213
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:25.480
se Yeah, it's like some kind
of slide guitar lap steel. Yeah,

214
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.799
we've got a heavy banjo track on
this one. That's some banjo band and

215
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:34.360
it's just some studio cats that they
got to get it out. Now the

216
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:37.960
bass players get that. That's trumpet. Yeah, trumpets. I hear pretty

217
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.440
quality, AMBI sure, yeah,
most most good trumpet players have a quality

218
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:56.000
of you. No, not anymore. Kind of sounds like it sounds like

219
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:02.320
Elvis is bad, don't know,
Els walking out? Yeah, it's the

220
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:07.960
family feud. I hold, I
had a banjo to my band. Slod

221
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:14.640
guitar, slod guitar, James,
pick up that lap steel? You see?

222
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:18.960
What do you see? Kevin summerline? The great Kevin summerline. It

223
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:23.839
does amazing photoshops? Did one of
Kevin walking through airport security? Did you

224
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.880
not see it on the Facebook?
No? I didn't. I didn't scroll

225
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.559
around too much. I just posted
our posts. Yeah, I know you

226
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.039
posted a thing. If anyone was
to want to jump in on ask the

227
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:34.640
downbeat. You can do that.
It'll be at nine o'clock today, but

228
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.480
we'll keep it on the texts and
like I think you said it well,

229
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:44.079
like Sam's getting us in legal trouble. Yeah, and look, answer anything.

230
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:45.880
I was happy that we had some
participants, but it was a lot

231
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.880
of jokes. Tell me the story
about your pig, stuff like that.

232
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:53.799
It's that's funny. But we're kind
of half serious on this. If you

233
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.480
want to go deep, you want
to ask about the old job, you

234
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.599
want to ask about anything. Nothing's
too on comfortable for us to tackle.

235
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.039
Yeah, we will filter out a
couple if we if it's you know,

236
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.160
we can't how I might read the
question and be like, we can't do

237
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.519
that one. Yeah, but you
text too. We put up a post

238
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.319
on the Freak Listener facebook group,
but also text texture questions. If you

239
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.279
got something that you were just curious
about, you want to ask me and

240
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:26.480
Mikey nine o'clock will do it here. Two Oh my god, oh wow,

241
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.240
they got it all. Yeah,
you did get it all. Rubber

242
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:33.200
ducky, a little oversized ducky,
the what do you call those water weenies?

243
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:41.680
And his his his shark lamit.
Kevin did a photoshop of KT.

244
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:48.839
Kevin Summerland did of KT walking through
the freaking airport security machine holding all of

245
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.200
his toys that we gave him,
and we came up with a care package

246
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:59.720
for yours transatlantic flight with his Dave
Matthews band shirt on. Kevin's amazing both

247
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:04.559
Kevin Summerlin and a Turner. Okay, he keeps sending us stuff Richard Branson's

248
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:11.960
villas all he does, miss us, but this efforts on the water in

249
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.079
Lake Como having the time of his
life. He did say this place is

250
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.960
pretty awesome. Yeah, I'm happy
for him, dude, because for somebody

251
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:27.200
that seriously that this job consumes as
much thought and brain space, it affects

252
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:33.200
him. I think this job stresses
him out because you and I, look,

253
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.519
we were kind of cut from the
same cloth. When it comes to

254
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.160
preparation for this that you stress about
it a little bit, you realize it's

255
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.920
gonna be fine, We're gonna be
okay. We end up showing up here

256
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.759
and ends up being just yeah,
you get through it. I think Kevin

257
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:53.279
thinks about this a bunch, and
he, more than anybody I think up

258
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:57.960
here needed needed a break from it, Yeah, and deserved man. But

259
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.640
even while he's on big cation,
he's just wired that way. He's he's

260
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.119
thinking about it, he's thinking about
us. He's sending us videos of Richard

261
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:12.440
Branson's house. Should we tell him
when we got back that we had Mario

262
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:18.640
Lopez on and then be like we
couldn't podcast it. No, he's too

263
00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:23.480
good. He'll go back and be
able to find it. Yeah, I

264
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:29.039
wouldn't. I wouldn't put it past
him to have a secret earbud in this

265
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.319
idiot have an earbudd listen listening to
us and ROXI what are you doing?

266
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.720
Oh? Just listening to Dave?
No? Yeah, translation, no translation,

267
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.240
translator. If I can talk,
let's talk about Italian I'm on dueling.

268
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:48.880
I'm just trying to learn about the
cultures, gigglings, dumb thing.

269
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.000
I asked everyone to say Hi,
it's a bunch of people, say good

270
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.799
morning. So morning everybody to texting

272
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:06.039
Who was line four? Guy?
Now? Can I do that? Although

273
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.359
he is challenging our legal you know, our claim that will answer anything,

274
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:12.279
They won't get us on legal trouble. We wouldn't do that. Yeah,

275
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.480
that's kind of blowing the cover.
Man. I don't really know. We

276
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.359
know a little, but I know
people that have met him. Yeah,

277
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.680
yeah, rtt Miller's met him.
Really yeah. Rett Miller's singer from the

278
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:32.039
Old ninety Seven's has when he was
out in l a m. I just

279
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:37.759
know that Rhett was on tour and
Line four guy came up to him and

280
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.759
introduced himself. Oh really yeah yeah, and he said the voice checked out

281
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.559
and everything, and they ended up
hanging out for like a couple of hours.

282
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.759
But yeah, he's he's been exposed
to some I've never met him.

283
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:55.240
Imagine him. I have neither,
I don't think imagine him introduced himself as

284
00:21:55.319 --> 00:22:02.720
line for guy some foreign port the
double take Rett Miller who's in a show

285
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:07.400
and probably walking off stage and Old
Night, Old ninety Seven's and oh wait,

286
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.599
I mean, if you're Rett Miller, you're a big listener and all

287
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.440
that. Like the crap that someone
can say to you and you walk off

288
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.279
stage. I mean this is a
sea of oh yeah, cool, well

289
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.160
thanks. It's sort of basically when
we asked Bieber, what what about eggs?

290
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.039
Yeah, it's like something wait what
now? Knowing Rhett and what a

291
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:32.559
big fan of the things that we
do over there and over here, and

292
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:37.000
he listens a lot. He could
have been off just gotten off stage in

293
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:44.920
a conversation with three Swedish supermodels,
and if that dude walked up and said

294
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.200
hey, rhet unlined for guy and
he recognized the voice, he would stop

295
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:53.000
what he was doing with the Swedish
supermodels and turned one hundred percent of his

296
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.640
attention to this dude. Yeah,
he'd been like, what holy crap you

297
00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:02.160
are? And those sad, nervous
girls are just standing there going I guess

298
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:12.640
we leave now just reapplying their makeup, mister Miller. But your sweetest accent

299
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:18.960
accent is at pretty good. That's
my list. Yeah, so I don't

300
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:21.720
know, we're not gonna blow any
cover like that, but we're gonna we'll

301
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:23.200
have some fun at nine o'clock,
man, ask the downbeat whatever you want

302
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.880
here real quick. Have you ever
ready to walk your mom through how to

303
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:37.720
work your TV at home? No? I haven't because when my mom has

304
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:45.039
come to stay with me, she's
a she's an educated New England woman and

305
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:49.359
she's one of those people. I
have my books. I'll be fine.

306
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:55.440
Doesn't want to watch TV if it's
not Boston Sports. I don't think she

307
00:23:55.519 --> 00:24:02.200
watches television. She is a hardcore
Bruins freak and Red Sie freak. But

308
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:04.240
yeah, when she comes down here, I don't think we turn the TV

309
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:15.079
on at all. So my mom, my mom's in town when she kicks

310
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.319
the door, and that's what she
that's all you hear. Yeah, so

311
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:25.240
my mom. We're leaving town this
afternoon one o'clock and my mom's in town

312
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:26.039
and she's like, I want to
come in. Dogs hit. She loves

313
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:29.839
coming to Dallas, especially when the
weather's nice or mild, like it is

314
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.359
right now, and she's taking care
of the pups while we all leave town.

315
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:36.960
She's at my house and I had
to try to walk her through how

316
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:38.440
to use the TV. But I
mean, my TV runs through my Xbox,

317
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:42.359
so you have to you're holding an
Xbox controller to watch TV always,

318
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:45.920
And she still doesn't really get that. She thinks I'm playing games always,

319
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.240
and I'm like, I do play
some games, but no, I need

320
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:53.240
this. This is how I do
it. And to get her to turn

321
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.079
an Xbox on, holding the Xbox
controller like, no, you have to

322
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:02.119
hold it down and then yeah,
there's a for the power and that's volume

323
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:06.960
as well on the TV. And
we just did a couple of dry runs

324
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:10.160
all the way from all right,
you walk up this star here, you

325
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:14.000
go through the whole process. We
finally get the thing on and I got

326
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:15.279
Hulu, you know, Netflix,
and like, just stick with those two

327
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:21.000
Hulu Netflix, watch whatever you want, left thumb, use the little the

328
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:25.039
little paddle thing to look around.
And we finally get it on and she's

329
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:29.400
like, Okay, how do I
get on Fox News. I'm like,

330
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:30.799
come on, I might take a
couple of days off Fox News. And

331
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.920
she's like no, I'm like,
all right, once we go up the

332
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:38.079
search and find it, and then
I think she's just gonna leave it there

333
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:45.799
for the for the for four days. That's all she needs, that and

334
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.799
her companionship of sweet puppy dogs.
Yeah, I mean whatever, Yeah,

335
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.519
I don't care, right, No, I don't yeah, whatever, fine,

336
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.960
I don't have given up any whatever. I would say the same thing

337
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.000
if it was ceing in or right. It's not even really the point.

338
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.279
It's just that's I think, all
mom, I just going to watch the

339
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:10.640
news, yeah, and have the
iPad going for research. But it's more

340
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.559
about just getting the TV on and
off. And there's a couple of little

341
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:15.319
detours. If you take them,
you're never you not once you get off

342
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:21.759
the right track. If she decides
to divert from her news intake, you

343
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:26.920
will get a phone call, yeah, on to reset the instructions. Yeah.

344
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.440
Now, I did tell her i'mna
call me, call me, h

345
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:32.599
for sure. If I can walk
up walking through it, I will,

346
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:37.279
you know what it? Okay.
So when my adopted mom, Evelyn was

347
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.680
still alive, she passed away in
twenty eighteen. I've been connected with my

348
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:47.799
birth mother for almost twenty years now, and she is still very young and

349
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:52.680
very much alive and very vibrant,
and we see each other and communicate all

350
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:59.000
the time. But when Evelyn was
alive and she was very old, she

351
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.200
died. She diesn't in twenty eighteen, and she was about to turn ninety

352
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:10.480
one. But we got her a
TV, a new TV, like her

353
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:15.079
first flat screen out in Knox City
when she still lived out there, And

354
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:22.559
I do remember having to type out
and laminate instructions and what the channels were

355
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.599
that she liked and how to get
to them, I mean, like right

356
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:32.519
on her little end table next to
the recliner, so she would know how

357
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:36.400
to navigate the whole system. But
I mean, that's just straight TV.

358
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:40.960
That's not going through any cable box. It's a hardwired thing. You turn

359
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.720
it on, here's the channels,
the input set. But yeah, even

360
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:49.039
that was somewhat of I can't only
imagine trying to get my mom to navigate

361
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:55.480
an Xbox. I don't know.
That's kind of a BS system to drop

362
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:57.200
on your mama. Well, I
don't have a choice, you do.

363
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:03.480
What's my choice? Stop using the
Xbox to watch TV. Just get an

364
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.079
entire new cable system for when my
mom comes in for three days. No,

365
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:08.079
no, no, no, no, there's got to be a way.

366
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.839
I mean, unless you're doing something
weird, which are on the Xbox,

367
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:18.759
I watch it just like you.
But it's that's it. I start

368
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.160
the Xbox. So basically your Xbox
acts like a fire stick or a Rocus

369
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:27.920
stick or anything like that, right
into your HDMI and that's the that's where

370
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:32.599
all of your your platform is for
YouTube and turn it on. It's it's

371
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:36.279
as Hulu, Netflix, and then
there's also Call of Duty and See of

372
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.400
Thieves. Like the games that makes
sense, they don't make a more user

373
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:45.039
friendly remote, like an actual stick
remote as opposed to the damn controller or

374
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:49.279
TV. But they do. I'm
sure they do. But it's pretty easy,

375
00:28:49.640 --> 00:28:52.279
I know. To you and me, No, I get it.

376
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:53.000
I mean, hell, if I
go to my brother's house, I don't

377
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:56.160
know that I know how to maneuver
his stuff. He'll tell you what.

378
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.559
I'll be in town via if you
need, give your mom my number,

379
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.200
and if she wants me to switch
it over to MSNBC. Yeah, I'll

380
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:08.559
be happy to drive to and help
her out. Yeah. Sure, you

381
00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:14.480
appreciate mad out. Your mom loves
mad out. Probably some hs O is

382
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.559
mad out? All right, No, Kevin, Today we do have JJ.

383
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:22.200
It's Mikey, it's Dingo. We
got a fun morning planned and it's

384
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.160
time for the most important thing in
the world. Pretty cool. The second

385
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:30.759
band ever to play inside the Sphere
goes tonight. We should go snacks
