You're listening to the downbeat. On ninety seven to one, the freak guys
were thirty minutes away from tray smoke from Crowley calling in. He's the man
who lost his giant monitor lizard named Dino, and it's maybe on the loose
in your neighborhood. Yeah, that's how you have to do it. It
might be terrorizing your neighborhood. Yeah yeah, up in the trees, Yeah,
in your house, could be in your house. Get the information you
need from us. At nine thirty five, something you guys didn't even mention.
We were giving the MAVs some love. But their two new acquisitions is
that they're probably gonna land Dinwiddy too. No, is that not gonna happen?
So he did sign. He chose Lakers. Sorry, I didn't see
that. He took one and a half million from the Lakers. Damn it.
We probably offered him a mill, so I'll take the extra five hundred.
Can you think I don't know. I bet it was the same,
and just chose the Lakers who are as I was thinking a little bit about
Lebron. If you're Lebron, you're going damn. I really enjoyed being at
Super Bowl last night in my box because I'm Lebron but he's also going.
Damn the MAVs got that. I was even thinking about Oklahoma going. We
sent them, we swapt picks with them to help facilitate this. They're better
than us, now, you know I thought about that. I just wanted
that badass hair. Yeah, well, you know, we'll have to just
hope that Derek Lively grows his hair out. Nobody looks more like old school
doctor j than den Woodie. Yeah. I think it's a Derek Lively's birthday.
I heard Ben Rogers say that out in the hallway. What does that
make him? Twenty? Somebody's that twenty one? Maybe Ben, skinned,
Christina and Steve will be here from ten to two. I want to wrap
up a couple of things from the postgame show. Okay, so go to
the podium and what anyone wants to say about Nance's great at his job,
one of the voices of our generation, twenty God and Jim. Nance first
talks to you know, Clark Kant, and then you move on and you
talk to Andy Reid. I found a good drop from Andy Reid. Uh
crank me up, please, JJ, here we go. How about that
D baby. How about that D baby? He's looking off and nodding,
how about that D baby? How about that D baby? But then it
goes to Patrick Mahomes, and you know, he does his thing very very
simple. We're gonna we're gonna celebrate this one tonight, guys, and we're
gonna celebrate this one Wednesday back in k C. And then we're gonna get
back to work, like what, take some time off. Here's zero and
zero again. Already that means all of it's hopeless. Then, I mean
I thought about that a lot to realize that it is. We'll get it
back into days. Here is Travis Kelcey, and obviously Travis Kelcey takes a
pro wrestling vibe to pretty much all of these situations. There's tailors on the
field just making butterfly eyes at him, and here's Travis. How about old
Vegas, Old Vegas. Hey, Elvis never had it better than that,
right there. Let me tell you to win this. I think Elvis did
do it better than a little bit. Hey, Elvis never had it better
than that, right there. Let me tell you to win this one.
When we met a couple of days ago, you know you said and I'm
not looking ahead, but we got a lot more we want to do here.
Baby, you said we want we want a three peat? How about
that? Well, you know, the goal has always been to get three,
but we couldn't get here without getting a two. And how about it
we get a chance to do it three times in a row. Okay,
I was sitting there watching that going. One of the most powerful women in
the world is with the guy who just said in front of the thousands,
we want to get to three, but you can't get the three without getting
to two. Right, right, honey. And then he continued his long
going battle to fight for his right to party. Yeah, are you ready?
Yeah? How do you get excited for that? Baby? You go
party Las Vegas. They get back to it. You still gotta fight for
your right, don't you. You gotta fight for your right. Believe the
guy, I'll see y'all next year. I got Travis, as you know,
they're going back see you next year. He's referencing a song that's almost
forty years old. Yeah, off license to ill. He's fighting for what
I've always understood is more of a privilege. You know, if you can
afford it, and you've got the free time, and you know that's your
thing. Partying isn't something that you should necessarily have to ever fight for.
And I think the right it already belongs to you. And I don't believe
there's anybody trying to take those rights away from us to party. Last I
checked, no, but this is where But that's his that's his platform.
It's fighting to make sure that every human is secured they're God given rights to
party. I support quoting the Beastie Boys in twenty twenty four. I'm just
I'm not confident that he's a serious individual, but he's not a serious man.
The two maybe the two biggest players in that game. The catch on
the drag, Oh my god, turns it up field breaks that guy's collar
bone. And then the second play of the middle, Yeah, the tight
screen up the middle and he just bulldozed this for ten yards. He's like,
three man's on him. We're done. And so it's fine, no
tailor talk. But again, you guys watched it. Watch it a little
bit better than I did. We made it through the first quarter. Not
that it's a good or bad thing, but it went the whole first quarter
without going to her suite once Okay, how many times did they actually do
it? Maybe a lot after that, because when the chief started doing something,
they would get her initial reaction for a second. But it felt like
it fit fine. I thought it fit. I thought it was just a
part of the story of the game, which it was like, I mean,
yeah, you can't fight. It was a part of the story of
the game. And I thought they did it perfectly. He's dating the most
famous woman on the planet arguably, and you know you can't avoid it.
They would get shredded if they if they just didn't show her. Oh,
I would have paid extra for a little tailor cam up there when they weren't
showing her. Sometimes I was like, stop showing the San Francisco forty nine
ers, kicker, let's go up to the booth. Oh I wouldn't have
known Lively. Hell yeah, I wouldn't have known that, someone who I
feel is infinitely more talented than her visited her sweet with Lana del Rey there,
who is supporting the forty nine ers on that? But yeah, what's
that? Leonardry is great? Red fight you on that? Okay, she's
great, it's objective. We had ice spice, ice spice. I'm saying
that yeap was MILEV Teyler up there with his Uh, I didn't see that,
but Miles Teyler and I think Miles Taylor's girl is friends with Taylor.
I think, yeah, okay, okay, So here's it. So you
have that. You got you know, maybe the most popular comedian on the
world of the world, Travis Kelsey up there, and then you follow it
up with more of an opening act in Mcole Hardman. Listen to how fast
Jim Nance gets rid of gets rid of Michole Hardman. Hey, Michole Hardman,
you scored at the super Bowl winning touchdown? Man? What does that
feel like? Man? I feel great. I'm telling you. I'm blacked
out when I caught the ball though, so but it feels awesome. Well,
listen, take that and go celebrate with the rest of your teammates.
There it is the Trophi's in the hands of the chiefs. Okay. Five
minutes of Travis Kelsey is t help. Nancy introduces him. It's like a
third grader just won the pee wee League. Listen how he talks to him.
Hey, Nicole Hardman, you scored the Super Bowl winning touchdown? Man,
what does that feel like, did you put him on the head About
that? Buddy? You know, what would you do it? Look what
you did, Little Sailor. Your dreams really do come true? Right?
And then I mean again, you've hit your apex. He's yelled, we
got to fight for the wreck to party. The crowd things along, and
then, man, what does that feel like? Man? It feel great.
I'm telling you, I'm blacked out when I caught them at though,
so but it feels awesome. Well listen, take that and go celebrate with
the rest of your teammates. There is the trophies in the hands, so
the chiefs back to you, guys. I thought that was funny. Very
he blacked out. That's kind of kind of cool. That's what happens to
me when you have a sudden trigger of emotion. He had a joke he
maybe he forgot to take his pill. Yeah, Kevin. No. Buddy
Levi Weaver, by the way, twenty minutes away from Missing Lizard Guy,
my buddy Levi Weaver over at the Athletic did a big piece and it was
like ranking the halftime shows. Okay, and he had a criteria that I
think is important here, guys. Music instrumentation vocal performance, staging set list,
how memorable is it? Did it bring energy? Did it worked vibes?
And then geographic relevance. He put a little small point scale on that.
Did they incorporate a local act Sometimes that helps, Like the La you
know, hip hop celebration with Doctor Dre and Snoop Dogg. We go to
Usher A few clips from Usher. Now he opened, Uh, I didn't
pull what he opened with. The open was caught up. He did not
wear sunglasses. Did not wear sunglasses. We get to about song four though,
one of the big hits, Love in This Club. I'll just kind
of play you guys a little clip of that. Had not didn shun ye
kind of thing if it comes out. I think I didn't think about if
there was anyone out there who just did not like or had just had like
a hateful tweet or something about the halftime show boo, the sucks. All
of you would be out of breath after ten seconds of ushers act doing what
he does. Yes, yeah, of course, I mean he's like the
stamina and of course conditioning to do that is the number one thing that stood
out to me because the dancing does not stop. I like how sweaty he
was. I think the whole world did. Was that a big one?
He got so hot he had to remove his blouse. Yeah, I joined
the ushers Gusher's Facebook group, Danny you got declined? I did. I
asked to get in. So he does love in this club. Then we
switch over to Alicia Keys song. Did create a meme when when they're standing
up in their next song and they're hugging each other, she created a big
meme because he's standing behind her hugging her and she's like laughing at the sky.
Are they former lovers? I don't think so. I think everyone's a
former lover of Usher, right, I mean you just kind of I don't
know. They were very intimate. Yes, Yeah, they did my boo.
Yeah, okay, you know that's what the one j on there.
Don't yeah on the air baby, because I know a few years ago they
did a song on my boo, but they've never been linked to each other.
What swit's beat? Okay, So I don't know. He kind of
did the shape of her butt with his hand and there was a little very
sexual man with the Mickey mouse glove. She uh, she's a pro though,
right, So you know he is great. Then let's go to you
Got It Bad, which is one of my favorite Usher songs. And uh,
then we get a special guest ripping a guitar solo with someone it's her.
I definitely thought about Christina Ray when this is going on, just a
bad bitch going out there shredding a guitar, and it all felt real right
it was she's playing, they're singing. Alicia Keys's voice just cracked in her
opening line and she got it back. Yeah, you know, I love
that. I love hearing them actually perform, man, And like you said,
all that dancing that Usher's out there doing and being able to carry a
tune. And I don't know, they didn't really focus on the band.
I don't remember seeing any shots of his band. I know they were up
there. I think a lot of that was live, but some of the
background vocals were just too perfect to be live. You know, there's they're
playing to some tracks. Yes, but that was live. Man. It
was cool. I thought. I thought that Rihanna last year was just exceptional.
I love that performance. This one wasn't too far below that. I
thought it was an incredible halftime show. There was a lot that went into
this with you know, I'm dropping a stage. They were on the ferment
and going up to the stage. I kind of like, I kind of
like in that same area of Rihanna, and I like the weekends from a
few years ago to kind of putting that in the same area because this is
where though, to me, it gets bonus points and goes to the next
level, because you do have the ultimate hype man and we should all have
a little John with this moment. When they put on the roller blades,
I mean the roller skates and I mean you can skate. Holy crap,
Now that is talent and this is turned down for what and oh my god,
it's building. We did it a game John, and Little john'son the
crowd. You're ready to get crazy, I mean right now, and to
put him in the crowd, and they did a good top and making the
crowd looked genuine a lot of times the other fake the crowd doing the clapping
and it was just kind of like messy. He was just in that sea
of people and that this song like turned down just that building whatever, and
the camera guy like there like it's like obviously those people are probably like no,
the camera guys is gonna be there. Don't hit him. Theo's probably
extras, so like you're supposed to be there. They were Yeah, that
was rehearsed, but it was genuine. It looked like they were they Yeah,
Oh I loved it. It was so that part was awesome. I
mean, you knew that's where it was headed. Yeah, but there's still
even though you know what's coming, you still you're getting chills and you're getting
jacked and amped up for that moment. And there's Little John played again.
Just then tell you're ready to get crazy, Yes he can, and then
Martin Kimer and giving now having pends on stage up Captain Harold Varner the third
of course, that led to the big hit peace Peace, so a ten,
Yeah, don't care, how should problems get at? Keep your time
to know. She knew what I'm nicking. She was feeling the magnet.
You would thank you. She know me more so I decided to take your
gun. I got up and the top, let's go everybody badass. And
then Ludicrous comes out and dude Luda owned it. Man and his hair is
insane, witty hairstyle that didn't have a weird ending. Okay, the ending
will end up losing points on this halftime show. If you're going by the
grading scale that I laid out for you earlier, that was bizarre. I
talked the world today. I talked the world to the I talked the world
to the jail chaill, jail, jail cheer. I Love you. That
was it, And they immediately went to the Apple Music graphic like so quickly,
guys, get out. We had a big Beyonce commercial we got airhold
on. I thought it was great. I thought it was great too.
That's the only thing I saw with audio on live, you know, being
at that fiesta yesterday. But that was great. Were the ladies all bumping
and grinding, going crazy. Some of them were talking over it. I
did the look, you know, the look back. Yeah, yeah,
I get a stern look back. Were you in the splash zone? I
don't know. They weren't that fired up about it. They're just talking over
it. Hm hmm. That's weird. Not mi, not our ladies.
They were locked in. I thought it was great. I was excited to
see it. I thought it was cool, like the Vegas implementation in the
beginning, with some circus stuff and people flying around. That was great.
Good cameos was great. I didn't know, well, I knew most of
the songs, but a couple I didn't know. But I'm only sha Keys
with that gown thing she oh know, it was sexy. She's a bad
I like the roller skating too. I thought that was really cool. I
like the good build up too. You didn't come out and hit the home
run early. It's okay, we're gonna do this. Yeah, yeah,
starting the end zone. Yeah, it's kind of like our six o'clock segment.
Like they started on the field, you know, and just kind of
let the game come to them and they blow it up with like the Lizard
Man We're about to have on. It was great success. The Lizard Man,
Jim Morrison, the moment you've all been waiting for. So there is
your Super Bowl halftime show, brought to you by Apple and Usher. And
then Beyonce is like, I guys have got new music. Here's a Verizon
commercial, which there's big heavy rumors of Verizon in the sphere too, like
the Verizons with the sponsors sphere. I got a feeling get Beyonce at the
sphere. Got a feeling that's what's ghost But so yeah, it is kind
of funny though, Like everybody's going crazy about Taylor taking uh, the opportunity
of her winning a Grammy to make her announcement of her new record. Beyonce
says, yeah, I got one too. I'm gonna make my announcement at
the super Bowl. In the super Bowl commercial, I was thinking about the
strategy of releasing music like none of even lesser names like though, like Casey
Musgraves and Justin Timberlake huge names, right, they both like releasing albums in
March, like March fifteenth. The timber Lakes is like March twenty second.
I think right around there, Taylor comes out announces hers April nineteenth, and
the Beyonces is March twenty ninth, And I'm like, well, everyone's gonna
forget about the Timberlake album. That's not gonna stand a chance there. So
it's the Beyonce thing hits. But I was thinking if it would have been
badass of Beyonce said April nineteenth. Yeah, now that is me though,
trying to pit two women against each other. Kevin when they standing alone consue
it. But even when she announced it, sorry Jampan, even when she
announced it, like all she said was new music is coming. There was
nothing else about it. Everything was on so it came out like fifteen,
like our website, everything was on social and left its left it at that.
We're all refreshing Twitter. What's gonna happen? Literally, what's gonna happen?
And then you see the and it was just like update every like five
minutes. Incredible picture of her Texas hold him hell yeah? Coming up next.
His name is Trey Crowley. Now you've probably never heard of him,
but you have now because this man is missing his monitor lizard and Crowley.
His name is Tray Crowley. I'm sorry. His name is Trey Smoke.
I'm so sorry. Nimme is Tray Smoke and he's from Crowley. Oh cool,
and he's missing his gigantic monitor lizard. And it's kind of a wild
story we'll discuss next to ninety seven one The Freak
