I want some bonus content. Pluck me in, Bikey's not even good yet.
Good morning. We're gonna officially start the show at six. You're you're
getting some undertime because it was before. All right, maddie, if you
would crank my audio up, because today headphones, we're beginning. Okay,
everyone is good. It went good, Sulivan Alrea. Sometimes the news junkie
they don't time out their show very well. News Junkie, they they will
quit four minutes early on you. We won't ever do that to you.
And what we have today is a bit of undertime. And before we start
playing that, I have to find what I need to find. Take your
time, Kevin, you've got four hours. I like that. Yeah,
I like that. No pressure. We're off the books right now, so
we can kind of do whatever we want technically, you're right, yeah,
And why would we want to do great stuff here to contribute to the news
junkie ratings? We have four three minutes, it doesn't matter. Yeah,
let's do free fall, dude, I don't like it. Four minute free
fall, free fall Junior. Yeah, you host neither day and I get
eliminated in one minute and one of us goes home. Yeah, I'm confident
the powers that be that don't like free Fall don't start listening until right at
six a m. Two. That's where you That's why I said, freebie.
That's funny that you think that the powers that be are actually listening.
Who are the you know? Oh yeah, yeah, that's not I don't
know. Good morning, hot boys. How are we doing? Everyone feel
good? I was gonna play some stuff we're on. Let's just do the
show. I guess I got an obscene amount of sleep last night. I
was in like zero sleep. That's great. Eight, You got the sleep
I needed, so we're good. I took it from you. Eight.
Funny did you nap? Uh? Not really? I tried. I had
Kevy and I had a little adventry yesterday which we can chat about at some
point. And speaking of taking it from me, good God took his manhood,
my dignity, my future in golf. But I annihilated. I'd lay
down with a nap. And there's that debate. Does does the rest count
as a half nap? What do you think in your head? You know,
yes, I think it does too. I do think it does.
Not like you're getting an RM necessarily every time you nap. I'm saying,
lay down, relax, even if you're looking at your phone a little bit,
then you get up an hour later. I feel like that's something I
don't know. I gotta say my mind's kind of blown on that question.
Rest counts a half nap, Yeah, it's rest zero point five of a
nap. If it's even half, man, it counts as some point three.
Yeah, you're not getting that restorative sleep that you need. But yeah,
it's better than you know, running around doing stuff. Yeah, just
sitting there or lying there, it is better. I got an almost two
hour nap yesterday and still by nine o'clock I was tired. Man. I
don't know what it was about yesterday, but I was ready to go to
bed early last night too. But they find some there's some rebellious thing within
me that sees the clock and if it's before nine thirty, my mind won't
allow me. It tells me, no, you are not going to sleep
before nine o'clock. No, that is not human. Did I fight it?
Did you dream of me? I was so tired, Mikey that I
did not dream of you. I said on the text thing that I asked.
I asked you to dream of me, oh, during my nap,
either of anytime I dream about you, I dream about both of you,
guys equally ruin. He was just watching in the corner with his phone out.
There was a weird note about wanking in there too. What are you
talking about? Yeah, you did write that, and don't act like you
didn't have that on the air. The show's officially started one seconds ago.
That was a typo. I set it aside for future HR purposes. Damn
auto correct. We already need to get it at any he's telling us to
tell ourselves. Yeah, yat are corrected because he was texting me about Fred
Funk Aaron Masters week. By the way, you're learning to wank listening to
k E G L F M ninety seven to one the Freak. Here's your
legal ID Dallas the top of the hour. Where's our tower? All right?
Is it? I think so? I think all the towers are down
there, same spot, right? Or is it kind of grand plus?
There's something there's something uh near Valley Ranch, But I don't know if they're
used for radio. I don't know. You start talking about things like that.
I was old the tower the ticket was up way north right like Sherman
or something sanger sanger, yes, dang, yeah, I don't know about
that. Man. I get south of twenty and I can't hear you guys.
Well, I would be three minutes away from the American Airline Center and
I would be hearing a Mexican station. That's racist, Hispanic station. I
don't know. Oh, you're fine. It says on the ratings it says
Mexican. I'm just teasing, Kevin. It's what it says, right,
doesn't say Spanish speaking, it says Mexicans. Christina gets mad at me when
I even say the word Mexican because she feels like it's it's not it's not.
I'm like, it's saying American. I know, And I said I
was. I did it in the sentence. I literally looked at her at
dinner and I said, you know what, I love Mexicans. They're fun,
They're amazing. All my neighbors, friends, all these business owners,
they're all so friendly and nice. And this weird country has problems with everybody.
Yeah, like, you're so lucky to live amongst amazing Mexicans. We
forget that. But do you know why it is? It's because it has
those two real hard consonants with the M and then the X right in the
middle of it. It just sounds like you're saying something I don't know,
forceful. Yeah, like there's ill intent behind what you're saying. And if
you don't follow that word with food, it just it feels odd. Right.
Yes, it's weird to look at your girlfriend and go, I love
Mexicans. Yeah, it's odd thing to say out of nowhere. I'll say
it, I love Mexicans. JJ is out mysteriously, Maddie is in.
Maddie. Are you a Mexican a Mexican? Are you a Mexican? I
am a Mexican. You are? Congratulations on that. Thanks, we like
you. I think my mom and my grandma were Mexican from Mexico. No,
my mom's from Chicago, Chicago. My grandma's from would that be you
speak so do I? Hyeah? Yeah? Give him, give him a
shot, have a nice conversation if we want to. We don't have to
show started. Oh okay, well you should have got to this at five
point fifty six. Wow, we're playing free Fall ont of Mike. So
many parlor tricks fall. Freefall was fun. That was great, Kevin,
that's over damn. So the latest is, uh, I just saw it
on the thing behind your master's start has been delayed how much? They say
at earliest will be nine am Eastern eight am here, but it was originally
that's only an hour delay. That's confirmed. Just talked to me five hours
earlier. Yeah, exactly. Well, we still might get there. And
I think they delayed opening the gates at Augusta National two. But originally seven
am it was supposed to start here. That's one hour from now. Now
it's going to be at least two hours. So I am depressed. So
when I get to watch any golf today on the shift, No, you
don't know that. I just said it might start open the gates until eight.
It could start at eight, it could start at eight. It probably
won't start till what nine thirty or ten? Probably probably. Well it's fine
then, you know what, you have undivided attention on golf when you get
home. Yeah, condensed, great golf. Yeah, all week, today's
today going today the day, so much golf. In fact, I'm gonna
set up a tiny screen. They'll have more golf, like a feature group,
and then I'm gonna have another tiny screen set up to watch Leclerk blow
save. It's gonna be good afternoon of sports. Not sports, I would
say recreation. That's what I would call it. Just the best. Don't
leave your couch four days in sports, Yes, I guess if you're psycho
for college basketball or betting on that, that's the only other really contender.
Yeah, but nothing lasts as long as this does when it comes to like
the one event. I mean, heck, even your long five hundred mile
NASCAR races are only a few hours and one day. This is four full
ass days. Yeah, from sun up to sundown. Man, there's people
who just don't care. And I get it. You know that, I
got go watch a ton of it. Oh bunch. Now, people who
don't care, they just they don't like I mean, they can't make people
care about something like they have to like No, No, it's like they
have to like dive into some form of watching content on the Netflix show or
something. I mean, I got a buddy yesterday. I love this guy.
He is a great friend of mine. But he's sent in a group
chat I'm in with my brother and some of his rents. He sent me
a video he goes, this is why I hate golf. And he sends
the video of Zack Johnson, well just his face just freaking out, it
freaking out of fans making noise at the players last month, and I was
like, well, you have to understand, everyone who likes golf hates Zack
Johnson. So you you were in the group of people that was in Phoenix,
Yeah, whatever any was, You're letting Zack Johnson set that example.
But I think even people who don't watch golf regularly don't care it's Sunday the
Masters is I would love to hear that, because that that's just something you.
Yeah, even if you never watch any PGA any you're aware of the
majors, you like sports, you'll watch Master Sunday or throw it on for
a couple hours. I think there's a big group of people do that.
And yes, there are something that just don't turn it on all week and
do not care. And I get that, but I used to be that
way. I used to be the person that that, for no reason whatsoever,
just blanket hated golf, the uncultured mongrel, because it was cool to
hate golf. But if you like sports and you like drama, there's incredible
drama in these especially in these big tournaments, these high leverage tournaments, and
just like anything, if you immerse yourself in it, just a little bit
like watching for a couple hours and you start to absorb a little bit of
the drama and oh, oh, there's he's on this hole now, that
guy just screwed up this whole. Even if you don't like off or don't
play it, I would think that you can be captivated by the drama of
sport. Yeah. Now, if you don't want to be, look the
experience towards a lot of people. They wear it as a badge of honor
to be cooler than everything, and everything is below them. And I thought
when we saw the eclipse, that changed. I mean maybe it did.
Look the story is yet to be completely written about how the eclipse affected us
personally and spiritually. We'll see in the days to come. But you know
we're early on in that endeavor. Keviny, you know Rock said to me
last night, she said, get off of me. The eclipse. Now,
yeah, I think, no, Jesus, please keep you. I
think, did you shower? I think the eclipse changed me. I said
that time of the month, oh, Kevin, And she said no.
But I was hoping that she would say yes so I would have a validation
for the theory. But I was like okay, and she didn't have a
good answer for how. I don't feel changed. I feel like I saw
something awesome and I definitely like and now I schedule a vacation around going to
Alaska in twenty thirty three, which I won't do. All right, we
all thought it well thought it though, like, yeah, if you like,
you just like see what it's like. I've never been to Alaska.
But do you feel changed at all? Danny? I feel like I had
a really unique, once in a lifetime experience. I don't think that this
moon going in front of the sun for four minutes and blacking out my neighborhood
changed me. Your circadian rhythms are still on. Yeah, yeah, Kevin,
I got my period today. Everything's fine, everything's on, skeed not
a boy, Danny. Yeah, uh No. I don't think it changed
me, but it definitely added something to my life that wasn't there before.
And if that's changing someone, even in a small way, yeah maybe it
did. It's adding to the complex painting that is Danny Baylis. Okay,
what'd you call him? A minutego the uncultured, uncultured mongrel a greet and
but you know, and I hear, I hear the noise, the subtle
jabs when it comes to us, especially yesterday, we spent a fair amount
of time discussing golf's biggest event. And if you find the sport, I
understand. But look, if you like the guys, if you like Mikey
and you like Kevin, it's it's kind of like, look, you're having
a Maybe your spouse does something that isn't your favorite, like I don't know,
maybe telling a story, and you'd rather be anywhere but there. But
you still love your spouse, and as your duty to the love that you
share, you try to participate. Maybe you actually listen, we hear what
your spouse has to say. I didn't know you're gonna say. Listen,
I figure you met in a couple of nods and a uh huh. That
counts your present. Let me just say that your body is present your present.
Ye oh up, that's all we're asking. You might get something out
of it. We imagine the nodding and hus for the next four days.
Mm hmmm, huh yeah, oh oh really. Oh and then he had
his blinker on, but he didn't turn Wow, honey, did you turn
off auto pay on Netflix? Yeah? I did. I'll take I did
take care of it, I said. Or the long What do you think
about long bathroom breaks? Well, you go in and sit in the bathroom
and then head down on YouTube TV on the Master's appy, dude in packed
house, spend some time in the bathroom. That's not productive. I think
about my brother every day, really just hiding a lockers all under the age
of six, oh man, just you know, running around and making noises
and clanging things off of things, damaging the walls. I would imagine,
Yeah, hysic, poor guy. There was a time when he loved the
Masters. I don't even know anymore. I mean, I know he's locked
in and he cares, but I always wonder, you know. I also
think about this too, Like the golf thing like that was we talked to
a little golf yesterday and we came a little time and we fought back.
We're gonna lot text reaction were a part of our job is to I think,
please a lot of people. Right, Like, if you're broadcasting,
they call it broadcasting, so be as broad as possible. I guess I
don't really know that's but yeah, one of the biggest stories in America this
week is the Masters, like it's undeniable, like the it just is.
And there are probably people who were rolling their eyes at that statement. But
I was thinking about this a lot, Like we had discussions before the show
in text messages, even in breaks, like I don't know if I personally
thought that the system was flawed or something, and I really thought that it
mattered, I might have been like, you know what, maybe we should
do the proper thing. But I'm kind of at the point of I don't
care, so I'm gonna do what I want to do. And I knows
there's no deeper there's no deeper meeting anyone should read into that. But I
kind of just like, let's just do it, and if someone has a
problem with it, good, that's good. If people have a problem with
us, great. I kind of think that's the way I need to.
I've been too down the f and middle my whole life, and that's why
i'd like to tell you I'm voting for Donald Trump in the twenty twenty four
election. I endure, I love it. Thirteen million viewers after the Ash
Effler on Sunday two years ago. Thirteen million. Yeah, I mean that's
huge. It's a lot. That's like real that Young Shelton numbers quantifiable facts.
Mike, I understand your recent your your recent shift in voting habits.
And after seeing the eclipse video, I get it. The Donald Trump eclipse
video. That was amazing. It's incredible. Oh, it was so good.
Credit him a little. There's a lot they're doing bits too. Yes,
they absolutely they know his silhouette covering the sun. It's so good.
I mean, it's all like they're incapable of doing things that are kind of
tongue in cheek funny. Well, and they both tried it because Biden did
the thing where he took a picture at the spot where are supposed to look
like the background where Trump looked up at the sun during the twenty seventeen eclipse,
and Biden did the same thing. And it said it said don't be
uh or I said use your noggin or something, you know, wear glasses.
It was like a simple thing that one of his social media people put
out. It's like, okay, you got that. Well, here as
a ninety second pre produced video where Trump silhouette of his head, is the
shape of the moon or the size it takes to block out the sun.
It's so funny. The most important human event in history. We can make
a vergit radiant. I mean, look, I'm sorry man Biden's look up
the sun with the glasses thing cool. This video is pretty badass. You're
losing there. I don't know. I don't know. Some said some toes
I'll comment. They were like, well, they're talking about everything on the
station. Like so if sports and politics are a part of our culture,
I would rather lean into sports than lean into politics. Amen. You hardly
ever hear us talking about politics unless it's something just funny. Yeah. Some
guy reach out to me on Instagram and sent me a message saying that he's
done because all we do is rip the right. Oh who care? And
I wrote back and I said, dude, I go, please provide.
I had some specifics as to you know, something's be specific. What was
said that upset you? Wasn't being defensive. I was like, I really
want to know, because we kind of I don't know. It's not like
a mission of ours to not be political, but it doesn't benefit us.
And honestly, I think the show in this station kind of provides an escape
from that because it's everywhere you look. That's the idea, and I just
try to It's like, look, if there's something more entertaining or lighter than
some heavy ass political thing that's out there, I'll definitely divert to those stories
as opposed to the ones that are just readily available and there's no middle ground
on them. And I was like, please, because I mean, personally,
I think if we ever do bring up politics, and we're pretty equal
as far as who we make fun of, you know, And I said,
I'd like to be mindful of it moving forward because if I did anything
to piss off the right. He didn't like your fake Ted Cruz maybe maybe
because it was so good it really it just hit too close to home.
It was such an authentic representation of Sweet Dead. Somebody wrote golf is just
boring to watch. I understand it's likely fun to play, but I just
don't see the appeal of getting that energy that I love from a sport.
I have no problem with golf, and I don't hate it, just not
for me fair enough. I think the point of all sports is watching the
best in the world to do what they do and I guess it helps if
you can apply it to yourself trying to do that. Anyone who played baseball
grown up, or hoops or footb whatever. That's why I think those are
as popular as they are. And I guess if you didn't, But that's
true for the person who is a zero golfer a dozen own clubs, never
plays golf. Danny, Yeah, you're a perfect example that watch master or
watch majors, watch the major weekends, enjoy them, maybe don't freak out
about them like we do, but come to appreciate it for that exact reason,
to watch the best in the world do something at an incredibly high level.
Do you want to know what my problem with golf was for the longest
time was the the social gap of what golf to me at the time represented
and how golf was one of the latest and took the longest to even begin
to consider any type of inclusivity. Yeah, that was my issue with it.
And I'm telling you you know, when I became a fan of the
sport or a fan of like, I started really getting into it, I'm
a Tiger dude, because okay, now, all right, there seems to
be they broke the seal on maybe the idea of some balance in the sport.
And that's when I started watching it because I was fascinated with Tiger.
I was all in and I stuck with it. As far as Karen,
it's certainly elitist compared to other sports. It is, and there's an argument
that, you know, it's not great for the environmentally. I mean they're
taking massive swaths of land and using a ton of water and you know that
sort of thing. Yeah, but you can say that about so many things
other than golf. I mean, I know what you're saying there, but
like, boy, golf's not the top thing that's polluting the environment. Well
what's sport? Yeah, is yeah, what sport is worse for the environment.
I mean, I don't know college with all the flights, you know,
but coach football team flies across the nation on zach okay, But every
golfer flies on separate private planes. You know, some of them team up
and share a plane. But golf shouldn't have to wear that. Well,
it's already has the elitist yeah scarlet letter that it's wearing. That it's rich
white country club dudes, and yeah, if you are the son of wealthy
country club parents, your odds of being a pro golfer are way higher.
It's hard to battle from poverty. That's a dynamic that has discussed a little
bit on that Netflix show as the country club Kids versus just the good old
boys, the country club kids justin Thomas George Speth Little Boys Kopka is like,
I'm out of here. I mean, it's an obvious thing to say,
but it's also the like, it's not a sport that the masses have
access to, where baseball is something you can play in the street with a
stick and a rock, you know, if stickball or whatever football you need
one ball to be able to participate in it, whereas historically golf is something
that you've got to have access to be able to play a real course.
Yeah, it's it used to be. I know, it's probably a lot
different now. And golf tries hard to be more inclusive and make it easier
with first Tea initiatives and inner city options, and they or at least they
act like they do. You know, it might just be car footprint talk.
Yeah, but yeah, but I think about sports too. I mean,
that's why soccer is the most popular sport in the world because that it's
very base Soccer is because someone's gonna hear me say this and want to keep
I'm not gonna say soccer is free, and a soccer parent locally is probably
like die. It is so expensive. So yes, any of these,
but as far as just getting in, but you can enjoying the sport.
You need a ball and a buddy. Yeah, and you can be in
the favelas of Brazil or the most poverty stricken area of the world, sure
and use something that is the shape of a ball and kids out there playing
with something wrapped up a duct tape, right exactly, And then that's what
it's the easiest. Then maybe basketball is next easiest. You got to find
a goal. You got you can make one makeshift goal or make a goal.
But that's why those just inherently allow kind of everyone to have a chance.
And think about this too, even like baseball. I can't remember the
exact year that that the color barrier was broken in baseball fifty six something like
that. When Jackie Robinson played his first game, baseball realized that the how
dug in they were on racism was superseded by we are the idea that we
are denying ourselves of millions of possibilities to have the great you know, the
greatest athletes in the world playing in our sport. And that's what every sport
ultimately, I think once they want to showcase their organization as the best.
And if you're excluding African Americans from your sport, you are you really doing
yourself as you're doing yourself a big disservice, and that that need to be
the best superseded their need to be hateful. Its just it's wild to me
that it took golf until nineteen seventy five. Yes, now granted that was
to play in the Masters, yes, and you are correct, but that
sort of a blend or a mix of both the things that we're talking about,
because golf is kind of the only true meritocracy in sport where I can
hand you Danny Bayliss a set of clubs right now, and you can qualify
for the US Amateur, the US Open, and ultimately the Masters. You
don't have to know one person in the world of golf. All you have
to do is pay your entry fee to a local qualifying event. Whoop,
everybody's a advance to the next thing, whip them and Danny Bayliss can make
it, and almost every other sport you kind of there's a lot of relationships
and who you know and how to get in and then I'm being scouted by
this guy and now this guy gave me a chance. Golf has that power,
but that's offset by the fact that society doesn't allow Danny Baylis in this
scenario to have played golf because of the color of his skin, right,
you know, or doesn't allow you access to a course without paying X amount
of dollars. I mean, you can't even get into the NFL unless you
at least went to some college, right, is that true? Still?
Jeft Jedi high school? Well, but you can free I mean there's a
free agency element, but you can't just I don't know how that works.
Actually, when out of high school you said I'm not going to college,
I want to declare an NFL free agent. I don't know about that.
I think that works? Or what if it's just a European Yeah, because
I've been clamboring forever for the Eastern euro to get in on some defensive line
work. It give be these big Russian bear Marcus Hunt, Marcus Hunt and
these Lotvians and Lithuanians who dominate the world's strongest man, but they don't really
have a pipeline to a college. Yeah, so some something. I hear
what you're saying about it being offset. It is just it. It's sad
to me that that golf just had that stranglehold. They just were not going
to let this out of our grasp. No, knowing good and well that
you have the potential to make you to have a player in your sport like
tiger, you know that can be the greatest of all time or consider in
that conversation, and for so many years, longer than any other sport,
just said no, we're not going to do it. We're not going to
do it. You know what the modern version of that is, and it's
pretty weird, and golf doesn't talk about it, but it's the uh,
Asian and Korean players because LPGA is sort of dominated by Korean players to the
point we're on the Asian Tour for the women. You'll look at a leaderboard
and it'll say Lee three, Lee six. Because there's so many people with
the last name Lee, they put a number after it to decipher which one
is which. And in America, that is that hurts LPGA ratings because of
as dumb as it is, I don't know who's who. They're all,
you know, basically racism, and I think male golf is worried about that.
We say it out loud, you know, and we and male golfers
seem to celebrate everyone plenty. I love Dakie Maziyami, one of my picks
for the week, and he's one of your best friends in the one of
my best friends. But we have an easier time, I guess with men's
golf deciphering between all of our Asian professionals. But women's golf really is dominated
by it, and they have a hard time. They have a hard time
with that and how to handle it publicly. I have no idea. Yeah,
yeah, what the hell? That good? Talk? Thirty four minutes
until lock Mike talk with us? Thirty four minutes until lock on the one
and done pool. Thirty four minutes. Yeah, who do you have right
now? Hi, Dicky Matsuya. So we have to have one name,
lock it in for our one and done pool. Twenty bucks. No,
no, no, no, no, this is a lot more than this
is twelve grand season long. I mean, where are we in the middle
somewhere like two fifty for the season. It costs us. Yeah, okay,
we're worthy of the action. It's so fun. Oh my god,
that's all we talk about. Yeah, it really truly is all they talk.
You have to pick one name. The problem is all these live golfers,
you don't ever get a chance to pick them, but only in the
majors. Now you can pick John Rahm, you can pick Howka. So
is everyone else going to pick a live golfer because now you finally can?
Or is it double reverse time you pivot back? See this is knowing that
I can get Rory at like next to no per What you're hearing right now
is the handy in the brads. What you're hearing right now is the conversations
that I walk into when these two nerds are sitting in here and I have
to go to the bathroom or I go get a bottle of water and come
back. They wait until I'm gone and then they start this patter up and
I walk in and I'm always I always get the defensive feeling like they're talking
about me? What are they saying about me? Behind my back? And
no, it's Matsuyama rom even more car. Well, you know that's that's
what I walked into it. And then I always tell you guys, it's
like, hey, I'm right here. You you can talk about this in
front of me. You don't have to wait until I We just want to
make you uncomfortable. I'm not uncomfortable. You're doing it on the air right
now, and I'm not uncomfortable. We're cool. Yeah, we're cool.
Okay, we're cool. Start with that. I start by fixing that part.
Yeah, I don't think I'm the one that has to fix it.
Someone said NASCAR is the worst for the environment. Boy, I think about
it. You know what the answer is? Formula one? Formula one.
Yeah, because they will go, oh yeah, we're in Saudi Arabia,
and then we'll be in Austin next week, and then we're gonna hit Japan
real quick. Then we're gonna take this whole thing to Montreal, back and
forth. Yes, God's crazy, just shooting arcs over the earth and thirty
minutes we're gonna do Mike's parlor trick along with an argument for one of our
DFW sons. But coming up next second, So we should do a little
bit. Mike and I went to a fabulous DFW destination yesterday that we need
to tell you about. And we'll give you the details on the Rashi Rice
thing because it's finally getting some answers. That's next to ninety seven won the Freak
