WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:10.039
This is a downbeat on ninety seven
to one, the freak gun. Nothing

2
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:16.760
can stop me. I'm all away
up, all away up, I'm all

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.239
away up, I'm all away up. Nothing could stop me. I'm all

4
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.399
away shot. What's walk showing?
What's what you need? One game?

5
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.839
Win? Never leave, never leave
counting, Good morning, seven thirty five.

6
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.399
It's a downbeat. We're six to
ten am right here on ninety seven.

7
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.759
Won a free Kevin Turner downy Balis, Mike's Roy kJ Jackson, the

8
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:43.640
glue guns holding this thing in one
piece? Uh, what are we doing

9
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.079
at eight? I know we got
a little downbeat duel. Everybody's sucking down

10
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.079
candy today. It's gonna be like
a ten minute war between you two over

11
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:59.039
candy downbeat dual sugar rush. Yeah, and I think right before that,

12
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.400
the idiots no that we'll take the
caller who's the most hyped up about tonight?

13
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.000
I mean they got something the most
hyped up about tonight. We have

14
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:14.120
some college basketball tickets for them.
Well, she got to them hype.

15
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:19.319
You gotta give it to us,
you know, yeah, Bendu's over what

16
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.680
Yeah? Do you like nine hours
of college basketball? Because we have that.

17
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.519
You don't have to go to all
three games. Yeah, you do,

18
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.400
and and they don't take three hours. College basketball games are a good,

19
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:32.680
healthy, one hour and fifty.
You have to go to every minute

20
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:38.400
of this thing, all right,
call in. No one's that screaming hyped

21
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.239
up at this time in the morning, like they're fired up, and they

22
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.280
woke up. It was nice to
wake up. I did. I woke

23
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.840
up right when the feet were hitting
the ground. The first thing I thought

24
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.879
is the Rangers could win the World
Series tonight. You're one game away.

25
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.799
And that's a cool thing to wake
up to. That's fun. That's odd,

26
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.359
and I'm happy. I'm happy for
you guys. I've look. I

27
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:07.039
can go off on a speech about
how honored I am by the people of

28
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.919
Texas and the people of the Metroplex
that have treated me very well. Someone

29
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.960
have moved here in like oh six
and I couldn't believe I lived in Texas.

30
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.599
It's just a weird sentence to say. Like I know, for y'all,

31
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.479
it's just the most common thing in
the world. But I was,

32
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.639
like, it took me years.
Like I would joke to my ex wife

33
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.520
at the times, like, hey, we're Texans, and we'd kind of

34
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.039
laugh like, yeah, okay,
that just sounds stupid as you put your

35
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.879
horse back at the barn. Yeah, we're Texans. I live in Texas.

36
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.520
Brisk horse ride and that would heelp
you, you know, when you

37
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.280
go visit friends whatever. I live
in Texas. It's just a weird sentence.

38
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.680
It's odd that you It doesn't register
for you, guys, And it

39
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.960
was odd for a few years,
but then you're since nineteen seventy nine,

40
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.759
and I still feel that way sometimes, yeah, yeah, And I don't

41
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.360
mean because it necessarily even the stereotype
and probably is rooted in that and what

42
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:55.599
Texas is to the nation, that
sort of thing. But it was just

43
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.439
an odd thing. But then after
years and then yes, working at the

44
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.520
ticket and people embracing you, realizing
how good folk around here are, and

45
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.120
then that turns into rather than an
odd statement, a proud statement, you

46
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.159
know. And I'm happy. I'm
this is home, this is my home,

47
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:16.319
and I'm a damn Texan Jesus.
And in that time, all the

48
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.719
people as good as they've been to
me. That's why I say, even

49
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.800
if I leave here and we all
get canned and I move somewhere, I

50
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.319
will just love this time. I
spent here because of how good the people

51
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.719
of this area been to me,
and for all that reason, I am

52
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.599
fighting alongside you all tonight because since
I've been here, it's been what one

53
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.520
championship, and that was the MAVs, and I cried and my brother worked

54
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.560
for the team at the time,
and that is, without question, my

55
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:49.000
favorite basketball team. But there hasn't
been too many popping a bottles and celebrations,

56
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.960
and as big as sports fans as
y'all are around here, you deserve

57
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.800
it. And I stand ready to
fight beside you this evening. Thank you

58
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.759
a little boy from South Florida.
You've won my heart. Well that's all

59
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.599
fair and good, but if you
really cared, you'd go support the three

60
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:11.039
college basketball teams from Texas on December
sixteenth the Dickie's Arena. And when I

61
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.639
say I'll fight beside you, I
don't mean like you guys talk strategy back

62
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.399
there and you send me up like
front front lines. I kind of mean

63
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.360
middle back of the fight, kind
of where the brain trust is, emotional

64
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:27.920
support. More of a distance fighter
too, sniper archery. Think think long

65
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.079
range, don't think front. It
would be that's pretty you were a frontline

66
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.279
because that would not be the best
way to use your skills. Yeah,

67
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:39.839
exactly, it'd be a poor strategy. You real Texans can get right up

68
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.000
front. You know, with clubs, you don't want to steal any valor.

69
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.360
We don't. I don't want to
steal any valor. I want you

70
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.279
guys to have all the valor.
I'll be back in the near back.

71
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:53.399
I'll be fighting. You'll be in
the blue tint. I'll be in the

72
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.839
blue tint right at to fight if
called upon. But for all those reasons,

73
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.120
I'm psyched for you guys, and
tonight has the potential to be a

74
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.480
night you've waited your whole lives for. And I think that's efing awesome.

75
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:11.879
It's the longest current, longest tenured
baseball team that hasn't won a World Series,

76
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.439
I know, and never has.
Isn't that correct? You may show

77
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.839
that graphic last night that just thinks
there is the Senators in nineteen sixty one

78
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.279
counting there. Yeah yeah, but
even yeah, you can count that.

79
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.800
I think you have to count that
if you're talking about longest, longest runs

80
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:31.920
without a chance, I mean,
it's us, the Mariners, the Brewers,

81
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:38.279
and the Rocky Now in the Rockies
or Padres. Is like seven or

82
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.839
eight teams. Rockies won one.
I think, well they show No they

83
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.319
didn't. That have never wait won
lost to Boston. Yep, they have

84
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.920
never won. Went Tampa Bay's never
won one. Those are Larry Walker teams.

85
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:55.199
I don't think Seattles. Seattle's never
won one. Seattle's never won.

86
00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:00.399
And you said San Diego Padres have
never won? Thought Tampa Bay won one?

87
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.439
Nope? Did they? I don't
think they did, be right,

88
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.519
Padre's Rockies, Rangers raised Brewers Brewers, that's right? And the Mariners.

89
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.439
And when were the Brewers their first
year as the Brewers? The Mariners has

90
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:21.199
never even been to one. The
Brewers, I don't know. Man tonight

91
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:27.839
tonight and Frank Howard don't be around
to see it. Yeah, see that

92
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.519
it was his time. I thought
it was an interesting stat that he at

93
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.120
the last home run as a Senator
in the first home run as a Ranger.

94
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.839
That's crazy. How old was he? Eighty seven? I don't know

95
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.439
very players age. My good friend
Jose Travino, who now plays for the

96
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.279
Yankees, told me that his goal
was to play to catch the last game

97
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:54.600
at the ballpark in Arlington and catch
the first game at Globe black Field.

98
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.360
I think they made some roster decisions. I don't think he was that the

99
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:05.439
Milwaukee Brewers were established in sixty nine. Well cool, I don't. I

100
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.360
mean, the Rangers are seventy two
to me. Yeah, but they were

101
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.680
a team that moved. It was
it's the same team they moved from Washington.

102
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.040
Well, the Baltimore Colts and are
the same thing. They just changed

103
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:23.079
their names. Yeah, but I'm
talking about the heritage. The lineage of

104
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.480
the team goes that far back.
I think Milwaukee was a unique team that

105
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.360
was established in nineteen sixty nine.
Is it the lineage of the Ravens the

106
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:38.879
Browns? I don't know, Man, it doesn't matter. Texter Man says,

107
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.800
my heart may actually stop if this
happens. I was born in ninety

108
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.560
two. My family had Ranger season
tickets most of my life. One World

109
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.720
Series will make all the August Day
game heat strokes worth. It bleed for

110
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.879
the Rangers and always will. You
know you don't have to get a heat

111
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.519
stroke, you can. I mean, once you start feeling dizzy and dehydrated,

112
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.839
you should definitely go home. I
don't go that far. I'm just

113
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.879
too late get ahead of it.
They to go back to this. No,

114
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:11.120
you definitely count your prior team.
It's the same team. The Rangers

115
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.759
weren't an expansion team. They were
the Washington Senators, established in sixty one,

116
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.600
moved to the Texas and I believe
in seventy two, and that's when

117
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.000
I start counting. I don't care
about Washing because Milwaukee I don't know.

118
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:28.079
You probably knew this, but they
were founded as the Seattle Pilots sixty nine

119
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.759
played one year there, relocated to
Milwaukee Hot a year later. I mean,

120
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.159
so if we're talking about Oklahoma City
thunder championships, do we count the

121
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.159
Seattle SuperSonics. There is that.
You see where I have an issue or

122
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.240
I'm having a problem here. You
don't think Quebec fans of the Nordeaks are

123
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.279
celebrating Colorado Avalanche titles. I don't. I don't either, So you see

124
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.360
what I'm saying. Now, that's
for them. It doesn't matter what are

125
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.120
we arguing. It's not like the
team doesn't. We're just talking about the

126
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.960
logistics of the longest run. So
Washington is not celebrating a potential Texas Rangers

127
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.360
win. No, of course they're
not. But as far as they franchise,

128
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:13.000
as far as the advent of the
franchise when they were established until now.

129
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.039
The Rangers have existed as a franchise
the longest of any League Baseball team

130
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.679
without winning. I'm not fighting you
on that. Yeah, but Milwaukee's been

131
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.440
the Brewers since nineteen seventy, but
they existed a year before. So what

132
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.679
I'm saying is the Rangers would be
the second if it was just the current

133
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.240
incarnation of what they are. I'm
not fighting you on the specific technic technicalities

134
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.399
of it. This is very much
the Kermit. Was he a Muppet or

135
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.799
was he on Sesame Street Conversation?
It was both. He's known to the

136
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.559
world as being a Muppet. He
is a Muppet and gained fame and notoriety

137
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:54.080
and infamy as a member of the
Sesame st Test on the Muppets. Yeah,

138
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.360
later in life. We'll deal with
that later. No, we won't.

139
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.240
We're not going back to that.
Well, my story is right time

140
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.919
for him. Guys, go ahead
and think about pizza or something. I

141
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.879
don't know. Do your stories hit
the themes? Have some fun cuttle bud,

142
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.039
let's go. Well, the stories
aren't even important, is it tonight?

143
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:22.159
You're right, he played baseball,
Luca plays tonight. MAVs. Can't

144
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.000
get a word word in edgewise.
On the Home of the MAVs. Luca

145
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.440
even tweeted said, go Rangers.
Sorry, Dirk and I won't be there.

146
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.399
Don't worry because I guess they're over. Yeah. In the press conference

147
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.679
of the night he was, he
was like, well, Dirk was there.

148
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.519
He's a bum on Dirk. Luca
was there too, sitting by him.

149
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.360
He's funny. Yeah, he can't
be funny sometimes. And it's weird

150
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:50.120
that they're ten and zero on the
road and that's the longest road wind streak

151
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:56.639
and franchise history. It's unbelievable regular
season any right in that wild It's incredible.

152
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:03.840
It's crazy. It's crazy why I'm
always amazed and granted a lot of

153
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.799
these quote unquote records that they're showing
for playoffs slash World Series are kind of

154
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:16.240
maybe more modern, analytics based second
level records, but it seems like every

155
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:22.799
game one of the two teams is
claiming some new World Series record. Well

156
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.519
that's because you get these nerds out
there who can find a stat for anything.

157
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:30.600
Man. As you just said,
and as Lucas said, I think

158
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:35.799
maybe there's too many stats. You
guys do your own yards lawn care?

159
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:45.399
Hell no, what Danny typically?
No, I'll do maintenance between The guy

160
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.360
comes every two weeks, and I've
got one, like I've told you,

161
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:54.759
those analog push mowers with the little
cylindrical blade. I'll hit that if it

162
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.120
gets crazy in between mos. But
no, can I tell you my setup

163
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:03.639
that I think you might find relatively
interesting? So I hired a dude.

164
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.480
I don't want to use names necessarily, this might be people you know.

165
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.679
And he was moving to town and
he did yards, right, So I

166
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.960
paid him for the whole year,
and he was like figuring out how to

167
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.799
move here. So he in his
stead, he would have our friend Chad,

168
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.600
who you guys have met, come
over to my house and cut my

169
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.600
lawn, right, m h like
because he wasn't here yet with all his

170
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.720
equipment, but he was here a
little bit. He did it and put

171
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.759
some sprinklers in. Then he would
go back and then Chad would kind of

172
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.759
fill in the gaps and do my
lawn. So the first guy sort of

173
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.519
disappeared, right he like it?
No, Well, I hope not actually,

174
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:41.679
And it's someone you know on Twitter
and stuff. I don't want to

175
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.360
really get into him. My god, sports geyser, it's not sports geyser.

176
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.960
The lawyer doing my yard, but
he sort of disappeared. He's lawyer.

177
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.879
And then Moore Chad his friend who's
our friend, my friend, sweet

178
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.919
dude, you know Chad. I
don't want to say his last name for

179
00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:00.679
whatever reason, but he kept coming
to do my yard and then one day

180
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.559
he was like, dude, the
other guy kind of just ghosted and He's

181
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.360
like, I haven't been paid anything
to do your yard for a while,

182
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.080
because I already prepaid the other day
for a year. And I'm like,

183
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.600
what, no, dude, and
I want and I paid him whatever.

184
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.000
So anyway, Chad, this guy
who lives like by roller Town Brewery and

185
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:22.000
has a regular job, he does
no other yard work other than to drive

186
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.639
down to Dallas just to do my
would you put him out of his misery

187
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.799
so he doesn't need the thirty five
dollars that badly that but it's not you're

188
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.440
paying more than thirty bucks to get
your yard. Mode better be paying his

189
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:39.840
gas money, No, kidd,
God, isn't that an odd scenario.

190
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.559
He's not like a professional, but
I asked him and he's like, no,

191
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.480
I love doing this. You think
now you let him come in?

192
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.519
You give him beer a pring,
Yeah, I give him beer. I

193
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.679
give him Topo Chico watch you gave
him or two together? Doing your yard

194
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:00.360
is his connection to being able to
be connected to a radio star. So

195
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.399
he gets a free Dallas Observer subscription
with that. No, he just gets

196
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.720
to hang out with the great Mike
Siroy. So he's willing to lose money

197
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.759
in this endeavor. I got nothing
going on later. If you watch the

198
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.399
game, gas is only seven dollars
a gallon. But yeah, I'll be

199
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.360
happy to come down and mow your
yard for six cents. Sure, man,

200
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.559
Yeah, I take it back.
Oh you a nice guy. He's

201
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.279
all you know him. He's like
a legit. I'm friend. I want

202
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:28.919
to be friends with Chad. Chad, you're getting hosed. It ain't worth

203
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:35.000
it. It's probably not worth him
to him. Okay, I'll send Pablo

204
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.200
over. Do you have Pablo.
Yeah, Pablo's great. Okay. Well,

205
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.559
Dallas County is one of the nations
knowing less, no problem all.

206
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.679
Dallas County is one of the nation's
worst when it comes to pollution as a

207
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.519
whole. One big problem is gas
powered lawnmowers, and this has been discussed

208
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.960
a little bit the past few months, but there's some more that came out

209
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:05.080
this week. Lawnmower's, leaf blowers, other lawn of equipment generates this pollutant

210
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:11.679
that's known as they're calling it a
fine particulates, which is interesting. It's

211
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.559
a two stroke motor, two stroke
engine. Man, there's no catalytic converter

212
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.840
on that thing, well, no
emissions control, creates these minuscule flex of

213
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:26.600
pollution that gets lodged in your lungs. It can stick to your blood and

214
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.279
then basically it's been blood Yeah,
it's been linked to heart attacks and strokes

215
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.559
and asmen, all this stuff.
A report came out this week by three

216
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:39.120
big environmental groups. It is the
gas powered lawn equipment emitted the fifth highest

217
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.200
total in the United States in Dallas
County, Tarrett County twentieth, Collin County

218
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.240
thirty fifth. So we have a
problems with gas powered ones. So a

219
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.440
lot of people are like, well, what do you do, I'm going

220
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.440
electric? You know, it's it's
kind of a topic of conversation with automobile

221
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.960
industry, but not so much with
gas powered lawn care. And two,

222
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:06.759
it was discussed a few months ago
that the city of Dallas was considering and

223
00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:11.080
in two years forcing people. You
would be fined if you were caught with

224
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.799
a gas powered line equipment, which
would be very easy to find you because

225
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:22.120
it's loud, and electrical powered line
equipment is not loud. The studies authors

226
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.879
urged and moved to electric powered line
equipment in Dallas. They said, it's

227
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.320
cleaner, it's quieter. In the
long run, it'll be cheaper than this

228
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:36.240
fossil fuel powered equipment. The guy
who wrote the article said, it's pretty

229
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.519
sure that we've been tolerating so much
harmful pollution and noise from cutting grass,

230
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.759
and basically they're trying to get this
to stop. But Dallas came in last

231
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.200
this is two months ago. I
believe this three months ago over the summer,

232
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:55.679
and they basically said, Nope,
you can't do that. You can't

233
00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:00.279
start telling people what they can and
can't do when it comes to cut their

234
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.160
lawn. That there's gonna be a
grace period where you're allowed to go out

235
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.640
and buy your own electrical, you
know, powered lawnmower. They were going

236
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:14.559
to offer a seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars rebate program into the city to

237
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:18.240
help people. The city is also
trying to put a ban on gas power

238
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.400
lawnmowers like with the city equipment,
but then they backed off again because Texas

239
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.680
legislators came in and they're like,
no, you can't do that. So

240
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:33.400
basically, noisy, more expensive over
a long time and puts out pollutants that

241
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.720
will kill you. Let's go with
that instead of the other thing. I

242
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:45.039
again, I am not talking about
cars, so it'll be clear. Okay,

243
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.839
it feels like we should just move
on from the stuff that's killing us

244
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:53.000
and is louder and is more expensive
over time. You need to get ready

245
00:17:53.039 --> 00:18:00.440
to start doing your own lawn because
the thing is with getting these laws service

246
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.519
equipments that do multiple jobs in a
day. The benefit of the gas engine

247
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.720
is the portability of it. You
know, you're not going to be able

248
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.720
to carry around an electric mower and
have a battery life that's going to last

249
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.279
all day to do all these jobs. Do you have anything they're not as

250
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.359
powerful? Yeah? How good are
they? If they're fine? If it's

251
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.759
just for your house, can you
on one charge do your whole lawn?

252
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.440
Yeah, depending on how big you
are. Yeah, for yours of mine.

253
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.079
Yes, absolutely, most people,
yes, absolutely, probably even big

254
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.359
one. I even looked into getting
one, just doing my yard myself,

255
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:38.599
getting an electric mower. I mean
they're more expensive, but you're not paying

256
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.799
for gas. No you don't have
the lifespan of ten years or whatever.

257
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:47.000
No you're not. If you get
one, you put my house in your

258
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:52.039
rotation. Okay, jeez, Yeah, we'll be friends and then we cut.

259
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.519
We're doing a favor for Chad.
Yeah, cup Chad. He doesn't

260
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.720
have to drive from roller Town once
a week. I don't once he lose

261
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:06.880
his ass. I'm doing the Siroy
Serroy Manner landscaping boy. And there's some

262
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.039
doodoo patties. He has some maneuver
too. I get a little behind on

263
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:18.519
those. That's the part, because
I would that's I just I don't mind

264
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.240
the labor of doing it. It's
but I don't have any equipment. Like

265
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.519
to even start with the equipment I
need, I'd have to spend so much

266
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.759
money and then storage. I don't
have a shed. This is what I

267
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:30.440
have to do. I need to
build a shed, and I need to

268
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.079
have Chad come to my house and
build a shed. Can he build a

269
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.480
shed? I'm sure he can.
He's got very strong forearms. He looks

270
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.480
like he gets your she shed.
Yeah, get my own she shed where

271
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:47.440
I put on my lawn equipment.
Well, I'm gonna build a shed.

272
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.039
I'm gonna buy a crappy shed.
And there's gonna be wasp and spiders in

273
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:52.039
there. I'm gonna be creeped out. I'm not gonna go in there.

274
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:56.799
There's a wasp story where this guy
was boxing and he swallowed a wasp.

275
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.759
It's stung him on the mouth.
Is that story you have or is that

276
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:04.200
just gonna get to it when you
ran out of time? Well, I

277
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.000
have a weight champion, you know, hear about it? Next two birthdays.

278
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.960
Then I've already DoD birthdays. We
did him an hour ago. And

279
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.680
you remember all this story about the
guy who swallowed the wash. Next and

280
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:22.880
Downbeat Dual returns Sugar Rush addition.
Next the Freak
