You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak, Oh
dear seven o'clock seven seven, Kevin turns last day on planet Earth. It's
the downbeat for nine in my trees. I see he's getting in a metal
tube that they say is gonna fly all the way six thousand miles over the
Atlantic Ocean. I mean, come on, just use your common sense,
use your logic. How it's dark and it's held together maybe by bolt,
right by bolt, some striking bowing guys may or may not have he's in
there going wait, wait right, right, tidy, right tidy? Yeah,
that's right, yeah, lefty ty? What was that? Oh?
The CEO just resigned of the whole company, right because of all the legal
act Oh, let's have a cigarette. Yeah, I need a smoke,
and then that one's done. It doesn't need all of the bolts. Bill,
there's some there's a basket with a million ribbons. When am I going
to put all these? Look? Every plane you put together's leftover parts,
guys? Is the wing department work hard? This is the bowing way?
Are you not boeing? Did you look? Yeah? It's like uh ikea
furniture for the sky right and ike furniture. Usually it's not a super max.
But the Dreamliners, now, I mean the Dreamliner did not have a
door fall off mid flight. But the Dreamliner is very much under investigation on
a high watch right now because of the employees who basically said, oh,
yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't find one. It'll be all right, not
that big of a deal. We a guy going to just guy going Italy,
see one of the other continents over the ocean, heading to Europe.
This afternoon. We brought you some gifts, okay, because we know you're
concerned about your flight. You had to bring gifts so you just chew up
every day you're good. Well we did. We brought gifts because it's a
special day and we love you and we want you not to be concerned about
this flight. I mean I did yesterday. I did do a good deep
research project on the dozens and dozens of planes that have gone down in the
Atlantic, and mostly a while ago, not anytime real recently, and the
success for eight percentages you were talking in the high nineties. You know,
you really don't have much to worry about. A lot of people would say
maybe because it has been so long, you know, I mean, a
losing streak has to break at some point. Yeah, yeah, right,
it does feel like we're overdue for, oh my god, like a reset,
especially with a ran in Israel and all the stuff that's going on.
That's a whole sort of other area, right, right, batch of concerns.
But the truth is you're probably going to just majestically soar over the northeast.
You know what. We flew to Italy. I remember, we flew
over England. Like if you go further north than you think, over colder
waters than you think, colder, deeper waters than you think, you go
way up north and then you kind of loop back. Now you're going to
Barcelona. You probably won't get that high up, but it's gonna be farther
north in your picture and in your head. And make sure when you're on
the plane, you know how they have the screen in front of you,
you know, and you can click, oh, I want to watch the
dark knight rises, you know whatever. There's an option where you can click
the plane, you know, and it'll show sort of the little digital thing
of where the plane is. And when you do that, it's gonna be
the tiniest shapeable plane. You're gonna see it, and then behind that,
all you're gonna see is blue, baby blue. And then you can even
use your two fingers to scroll out, scroll out, scroll out, blue,
more blue, more blue, more blue, endless blue, endless,
terminal blue. And keep in mind, the blue that you're seeing is not
a view from land. That's not the sky. That's not what's above you.
It's what's below you, and that is cold ocean. Look, our
hope is that everything goes fine. Right of course, yeah, it is
gonna go fine. But we brought you some stuff to calm you. Okay,
okay, you're gonna close your eyes or sure, no peaking, Kevin,
your first given, I don't need it. If I trust this,
describe what Mikey just placed into your arms. Luckily see right now, you're
gonna think those are cumbersome, but those are gonna come in handy for you
in the twelve hours. They fit nicely into your overhead bin. What are
what do you have, Kevin? This would be the proper terminology for these
would be flippers. Yeah, those are flippers for scuba diving and snorkeling,
about three feet long. That's good because I was thinking about just maybe throwing
in my uh like a pair of tennis shoes, just throwing them in my
backpack because I'm carrying on see regular shot helpers onto they'll actually weigh you down.
Yeah, if you are wearing them auto of the plane, you're gonna
want to walk backward, okay, because if you're just walking forward, it's
crazy. But if you walk backward, okay, there you go. I'll
do that. And you're gonna want to size those up. Get that clip
on thing in the back size to you do that before you get on the
plane. Make sure, like at home, when after after work, when
you're finishing your last minute packing, make sure you get them fitted properly around
your heel because you want to just easy clip in. Yeah, my Alto
is picking me up and I'll make sure that I get the extra legroom in
the middle seat. Do not put these flippers on. Do not wear those
through TSA. They won't allow you to enter through the metal detective backwards.
You won't need it when you're on the ground, right, You're fine,
it's just when just in case, But on the plane, definitely keep them
on and they'll should fit nicely under the seat in front of you. They
may overlap into their foot space, but a small price to pay. It's
very toughful of you. Thank you so much. That makes so much to
me. Yeah, we gave you flippers. Uh, you got something to
let's give the I think these two are okay, you want me to go
ahead and go yeah? Right, So, Kevin, Look, it's a
long flight and there's only so many movies that you can watch. They probably
don't have a big range available, and god knows how dodgy the Wi Fi
might be on that, so you your iPad may be rendered useless. And
look, some people just don't like to read, so you're gonna need something
for entertainment. However, this flight goes when you hit the water because your
WiFi almost assuredly is not going to work. Right. Yeah, and five
G is real sketchy over water. Uh huh international water. So Kevin,
when you when you're playing, invariably does drop into the sea. This is
something that you I want to give to you to kind of help occupy your
time while you're in the ocean, because I don't want it to all be
negative. I want to I want you to be able to have fun.
Yeah, you can play with that this appears to be a rubber ducky.
Yeah, yeah, it's small, right, rubber ducky. Yeah, that's
thank you. That's very helpful. Yeah, okay, yeah, this is
good as the pool noodle. You know what, it's blue. I'll look
like the smart guy when I'm floating on the pool noodle while everyone else is
struggling and gasping for air. Yeah, you're probably gonna get a spot on
the raft, that's the idea. But you are a man. You are
a man, so they're not going to be Oh, get the ladies on
there, get this kid on there. Yes, the elbow, I know,
su you're gonna be one off the plane. You're not gonna be a
top draft choice to get on the raft. So if you don't have it,
you have the pool noodle to hang on to, and you have the
rubber ducky that you can play with. Guys, this is so thoughtful.
Thank you so much. You're welcome. The only thing that can make it
better is if Danny gave me his banana. No, no, I'm going
to eat the banana because because I'm gonna need the energy and nourishment to continue
doing this show with Mike Siroy on dry land. Yes, yeah, here
on Terra Firma. Yeah, I have one more presents. Are doing Lake
Louisville Remote tomorrow. I have one more gift for you. I just close
your eyes. We're giving Kevin presents. As he was about to embark on
a beautiful journey across the Atlantic Ocean. He's given me a laminated copy of
some reading material. It's Sharks of the US Atlantic and it's a comparison of
the non ridgeback sharks. Yeah, it's an identification chart of the sharks of
the Atlantic Ocean. So by dorsal fin or color, you can identify the
level of danger involved. Yeah, the sharks that you're and you can encounter
as you bob eternally in the cold, cold Atlantic. This chart actually shows
the size of their teeth too, so you can kind of know if that's
a black nose shark or that's a lemon shark. Right, Yeah, a
bull shark or a bull sharks gonna be a problem. A nurse shark doesn't
seem like that one would hurt. No, you want nurse or lemon,
You do not want bull or tiger. Yeah, refined tooth. But I
took that yesterday and got it laminated professionally, so it should be water resistant.
He actually did. So you can kind of cover all the bases here.
So you've got the fins for mobility, propulsion, and survival. Yep,
you have safety with the water weenie. Ye with the water weenie.
And you know, I love the the laminated shark identification chart because it's kind
of got dual purpose because number one, you can see the type of shark
that you might become entangled with, you know the danger level of that shark.
But also you can play if you get bored out there in that open
vast sea, it's a little fun game. You can play shark I spy,
Yeah, I spy something deadly, Thank you guys. And of course
the uh and then the rubber ducky if you just want to get your mind
off of it, you can just bob him up and down. Recreation.
I'm underwater, IM up. I will say, use those flippers if you
are out there and you see land, so you aim your body in that
direction and then you just start kicking. But use the currents too, because
the currents are going to be your friend. You can't swe even if you're
one mile from land. You're swimming into the current. You ain't gonna make
it. Yeah, all right, you need to go kind of kind of
adjacent to that. That's good information. You're going. You're laughing, but
you're gonna remember all this. Grab also before you leave your house today,
and you don't want to do this on playing because it's kind of a inconsiderate.
You want to just slather yourself in sunscreen today, like like probably at
least a fifty SPI. Do you want to look like Ben Crane so you
have a GA championship. Okay, that like a Ben Crane reference. You
need to cover yourself in sunscreen before you leave the house. That way,
it's just one least thing you have to think about. It ain't gonna be
grabbing a spray bottle or creaming up while you're bobbing, you know, like
if you're already creamed up, that's just one lessing you gotta worry about.
Okay, you know, skin safe, get creamed up? Right? It
down next to restaurream up stream up coach Joe sdream up pream up like Ben
Crane. God, I hope he gets to use that restaurant recommendation. We'll
see what happens. All that stuff will work on the way back as well.
Oh that's right, there's a return second. That one's worse, right,
your second transatlantic flight. Yeah, it's longer. Thanks guys, you're
welcome. Let's do sports. I need that ducky batt out of Malcolm's baths
and now sports seven. Okay, Rangers won last night. One nothing.
Guess that body part Ranger picture. Brock Burke a couple of days ago,
got an injury? What was it? Elbow? No, self inflicted?
Oh I know this one. Then self inflicted? Gunshot? Is he wrong?
He's wrong? So you had to say, you know, that's a
guest like a blend? Did he get his hand in a blender? Is
he making mark body part? Right hand? Okay, I know this.
He punched a wall. Oh that's right. Oh no, he wasn't doing
that. Yeah, he punched a wall. Why did he punch a wall?
Yeah? Man, because he's a bro himself. Was he in the
dugout or in the clubhouse? What happened? I don't know one of the
places. No, he gotta pulled out of the game or something, right,
Yeah, and then he so he's got the went hulk. The boxer's
fracture. What a dummy. That's the dumbest injury? Is this dumb one?
How long have you ever done it? I punched walls but not broken
anything. I've done it two times when I was in my early twenties,
and I broke my hand one time the boxers. So yeah, I don't
have a knuckle right there, so it just flat. Yeah, it's crimped
under. Did you get it? You have to just wait or did you
get No? The doctor said, you know, there's nothing you can do
like that one kind of goes up and that one's just flat because it crimped
under. So yeah, what was her name? No, it wasn't her.
It was sometimes. I had some emotional problems when I was when I
was a young angry man. I was mad at dad. Really yeah,
when you're South paw huh h because as you don't expect that. And then
bam it hurt too, It really hurt. How long did it hurt?
For? Like months? About a week and a half. Yeah, I
was swollen, terrible. Look at him now though. Yeah, back on
top. So this guy got pulled out of the game and punched the wall.
Yeah, it's a while back, but it was Friday, so they
signed a picture right for the season, started Michael Lorenzen and he threw I
think five shot out innings last night, so he's pretty good. Interesting,
they called up a guy so he was in Triple A. There's also that
Jack Lader could get called up this week. Okay, he said two out
of three good starts, they may not need him, but it's possible.
They called up another guy who was in Triple A and nas cole Win and
he was the twenty eighteen first round pick. And I was doing fine,
and then about seven hundred days ago he got hit in the foot. And
he hadn't been the same since he got hit in the foot, but he
was a hey, this guy's gonna be in the starting rotation for a long
time. Guy. They're now using him in the bullpen, and he's kind
of found it. He had got all five guys out against the Astros on
Sunday and they might just be like, you know what, let's come up
to starting thing. Be a reliever. You can help us now more than
trying to get there. So as his bullpen worries are still there for me,
like they're pitching little clerk of the sixth inning now and I appreciate boch
you doing that. He did. He got five outs last night because the
steady hand thing is fine, but you can't keep running the guy out there
in the ninth inning if you can't throw strikes. So they did good.
There, that's it. That's sound there. Who closed twelve today? Who
closed it out? Last? Things? I think you had the clerk for
what six and seven? Roberts Robertson, Robertson and Robertson Yates. Yeah,
yeah, his first save. Yeah, he's been wonderful. They went that
had fourfor innings, bullpen clean. Yeah, okay, that's good. That's
good. Off. It's still struggling right now. It's been off. It
has been shown since Josh Young got hurt, honestly. But they'll be all
right. They're leading the Al West. Yeah, just hanging in, man,
like, who are we? We're just out They're out there goofing.
They're holding it down. But they've also lost two straight series. They're silver
boot goofing. It's all gonna be fine unless it's not up quickly. Yeah,
what's up? Yeah? I got a minute. Cowboys. So here's
the thing about the Cowboys. The draft is nixt Thursday, nine days with
the draft. WHOA, So there's a thing and you guys have seen this,
you guys know this probably you know teams are allowed to have thirty players
in Okay at thirty visitors and here in DFW it's called Dallas Day where if
there's a player who's from area high school and there's a radius that's you know,
they draw it on the map. If you're inside those colleges or you
went to high school here, then you're allowed to show up to Dallastate and
go meet and actually get to know these players and you can know them all
better. And the Jason Garrett era, you could go, they're gonna draft
guys off this thirty man list, there's no doubt about it. And the
Mike McCarthy era, it's kind of been that way too, except for there's
a little an outlier here and an outlier there, like Schoonmaker wasn't a visit
last year, but yesterday. Last year, they've had Mazzie Smith overshown some
of the guys they drafted on Day three. Those were Day three guys.
So I think it's interesting when you see who they brought in and like what
round they might be. They brought in five offensive linemen who would be first
round caliber guys. One defensive tackle, one defensive end. So that's what
they're gonna draft right there. You kind of know that. And then it
gets interesting. In the second round. They've brought in running backs Florida State
guy Trey Benson, the Jonathan Brooks from Texas good running back, and then
linebackers round two. Those are the guys they brought and then who's the guy
you like Mike Michigan running back like Corum. They did not bring him in.
They didn't bring in brayln Allen Wisconsin. Yeah, that's third round type
probably, And I think we should give their draft as Trey Lances their fourth
round pick. And it looks real stupid if Trey Lance. If we get
to training camp and Trey Lance can't do anything, he Cooper Rush shouldn't be
around anymore. It should be Trey Lance as your back up and move on.
The OTA started the big story that was like ceedee Lamb not gonna be
there, No, because none of them big deal need to be there.
Yeah, it's rookie like rookie mini camp. Yes, it doesn't matter.
They don't have to go to off season activities. So that what pick they
have twenty fourth, twenty four, fifty six, and you are what percentage
that they go O Linemann and you think tackle or interior. We just don't.
We don't know what they're doing with Tyler Smith like Steven Jones compared to
to Larry Allen. But it's like, okay, is he left tackle or
a left guard? If you want to move to left tackle and not have
to take a tackle in round one, I think you could do that.
If you want to PLoP him down and say he is a great left guard,
let's not move him. That's cool. Do that center goes a little
bit deeper than offensive tackle. Offense tackle, you better take him at twenty
four. You're not gonna get a good offensive tackle. You can get a
center in the second and third round. I do believes tackle in twenty four.
How about Wisconsin center Tanner Bordolini. Oh wait, I didn't say his
name is on board. There's also a center from Arkansas that I just feel
like Jerry would like not that he gets to make the call. I think
his name is bo Lemmer, and I could just hear Jerry talk about that
bow limm Er just going along on the offensive line. I can see it,
hear it. But they're not bad, dude, They're not doing anything.
This is the most missionary Cowboys offseason they've had in a long time.
That's out of necessity, though, right out of necessity. And also lame
duck here for McCarthy, for Mike Zimmer and a lame duck here. Weirdly
is your new defensive coordinator. You think he's gonna get to come in on
a one year deal and pick a defensive tackle at pick twenty four. You
know, if you get the Texas defense tackle Murphy, who's really good.
One good thing too, is we have overshown coming back right. Yes,
so that's all sort of like the free bonus pick that you, yes,
prepaid for last year. Yeah, that's nice. I think that's good.
They're intersting three linebackers in that second round area where they pick at fifty six.
They may do that, and I don't know if I love them taking
linebackers, but we'll talk, I guess next week. But just the likelihood
of any moves to moving up moving down. But you haven't heard any whispers
because no one's talking about the Cowboy. The name that I keep hearing is
Kingsley Suemunthia. He's the tackle from BYU. Now Dane Brugler's got him graded
like the fortieth player overall, calviych Are picking twenty fourth. I've seen other
people grade him as like the top A top twenty five player, Kingsley Sua
Mattia. I keep getting that like they like him BYU tackle was it Oregon
good player, So just fixed the offensive line. Otherwise you can't do anything
on offense. Coming up next, I do have a little more on the
Rashi Rai situation, and there's a marine that did some really wild stuff.
He's eighteen, the few the Proud, the Klepto next to ninety seven won the Freak
