Well, good morning, good Friday morning. In case you cannot know,
today's Friday, traditional final workday of the week, likely meaning that you have
to get through today and then next time for the weekend. That's when you
abuse droughts and alcohol for two days. Don't leave out promiscuous sex. Ki,
you have tons of promiscuous sex, and we wish you all boatloads of
promiscuous sex over the next seventy two hours. We are bending hectic on a
Friday morning. Is the Downbeat six to ten am right here on a radio
station in Dallas, Texas, ninety seven to one the Free My name is
Michael sir Roy. To my immediate left, here's Daniel Bayless. Correctly across
from me is Kevin Turner. Come on, come on to my right,
two and ten hands on the wheel. It is JJ Jackson. Good morning,
JJ, Hi, JJ, Good morning Friday, Happy DAYMN Friday.
Hike JJ. We got a thick hot one for you this morning, you
know, I mean, look, I don't even where to direct people.
I think if if you had to pick one today, it'd be eight o'clock,
right, that's the one I don't know. That's the one of eight
that I would direct them to, Okay, the one of the two and
the eight o'clock hour, No, the one of the eight of the entire
show. We have eight segments in the show. Yeah, and he says,
that's one of the eight that you should listen to. Okay, if
you had to pick, all right, listen to eight of them, if
you had to rank them in order. Okay, I do this all right.
The first out of the eight segments you'd listened to would be today,
not like an everyday thing. Eight eight, Yeah, eight o'clock. We
have some exclusive audio and you know, you one of you guys kind of
yeah, well, what is this the history of Go ahead, Danny Well,
justin Timberlake is going to be the musical guest on SNL tomorrow. Correct,
That is true. Kevin foreshadowed that when that was announced that he would
probably be dropping new music sometime this week, and as we learned yesterday,
he in fact did, and we played I don't know about a minute of
his brand new single. We were mildly underwhelmed by it. It was fine,
Yes, a song, it's a yeah. What was it called?
Sausage? Sausage one word and it was an s yeah, sausage selfless selfish,
selfish, Yeah, selfish. We checked that out and Kevin wanted to
go down a little deep dive rabbit hole of a brief history of boy bands
and kind of like the members of boy bands that remained relevant over the last
twenty years, because I would say that's when they all kind of got their
start, was right around the turn of the century. Yeah, I didn't
remember as far as like the new breed of them, not counting new kids
on the block. And well, I was curious about because Danny's been in
a million different bands, and you've been in this music scene for damn near
thirty years maybe more. It's been incredibly lucrative, fulfilling. Yeah, it's
great. It doesn't matter. The point of it is you've been in the
music scene in this town. I get to this town in test and six
right like from I'm still in North Texas, but I was not in DFW,
and you immediately like just learning things about the Dallas Fort Worth music scene,
and I was just started thinking. Me and Davey were talking at the
hole and I was like, Danny, I'd love to know were there ever
any boy bands that you ran into because you've done You've been in like metal
bands, like all t indie type bands, kind of like indie country type
bands, soul bands, Like you've played a different type of stuff, spin
the wheel of music and wherever it lands that you will find the dinger.
Well, it's like if you're playing a ganga's bass in the back and if
you're playing a gig at Trees, what doing I just wondered if like Danny's
metal band gets out to play at Three Links and then he was across the
street and there's a boy band concert going on. So I wanted to know,
like, is there like any history of boy bands in Dallas that gave
it a shot because that was popular in the late nineties early two thousands for
sure. Yeah, so it's kind of a two pronged SEGM Kevin is going
to We're going to kind of maybe look at the careers of some of these
dudes that have gone solo and how well, you know, what kind of
levels of success that they've achieved. I think it's kind of hands down,
no question that Justin Timberlake is probably the most successful solo artists that came out
of a boy band. We'll discuss that. You know, that's all subjective,
but you know, at the request of Kevin, I did do a
little deep dive on boy bands that came from this area, and believe it
or not, there's a small handful of them, and one in particular kind
of sparked my interest, and we're going to do a mini spotlight on them.
Okay, I think they've probably been long forgotten, but we're going to
do what we can to kind of, I don't know, maybe revive their
career and bring awareness to people that might not know anything about them. All
right, that'll be loads at loads of fun at eight o'clock. Huh,
what's your next well highly ranked segment of the day, Kevio. I'll also
include a chance to win Modest Mouse and Pixies tickets in that segment too,
if we have time fun, you know, I mean, look, we
I guess I'll go ahead and do this. I don't know that I have
the totem pole power to make this claim, but we're going to have at
nine o'clock the official ninety seven won the Freak Wrestling Expert Brody It's right,
Brody Town's maybe his third or fourth visit in studio. If there's a significant
passing in the world of wrestling. We had them on I think attribute to
Terry Funk Texas Terry Funk. Yeah, and for real, even if you
don't like wrestling, it's just Brody's a nut. He's a funny man and
he comes with bits a hoy and uh. It's a superpower if you can
make something that the listener, some listeners wouldn't be interested in entertaining and fun
and like, man, I really like that, Kevin and I try to
do that with the world of golf, yeah, regularly, but Brody can
definitely do it. And we had some big news, good Lord, good
Lord, in the world of Vince McMahon and wrestling yesterday. And if you
don't know that story, that's not even a wrestling story. It's only the
shocking allegations I've ever seen in my life. That's from the crime blodder.
Yeah, absolutely a crime story, a terrible one. And you know,
if you weren't sure already, old Vinnie Mack probably should be burning in hell
in a few years here. It has been confirmed. And we'll explain that
story with Brody at nine, and then we'll smoothly transition into the fun part
of wrestling, which is the Royal Rumble. And we're gonna make some weird
bet on the Royal Rumble, which is happening. I will say though,
that if you hear the word wrestling and you're like a lot of folks that
you hear that word and immediately you just kind of go, there's a lot
of people out there that don't like that. I realize it's one of the
most popular sports in America, if not the world. Tune in anyway,
not only to cover this wild ass Vince mcman crime story, but Brody is
probably one of the most uniquely hilarious individuals that any of us know. Yeah,
he might be better at this than we are. He's in there.
Well, the key is the longevity of it. Yeah, the all day,
every day, Yeah, but for one segment or two segments, however
long he stays. Boy, he is a machine gun of comedy and piping
hot sports opinions. He's like the most tasty seasoning you could put on something.
Just make it way better, but be careful too much. You might
burn your mouth, your mouth off, your mouth off. That'll probably most
at the nine o'clock hour. I got something for you. I think the
seven o'clock hours would be good Mikey, I've got some Uh, I'm gonna
say seven forty five, we'll talk about the two football games coming up on
Sunday. You guys, good with that? Yes? Seven start? Do
we for that? Yeah, freaking championship weekend? Quite ready to go.
Loads of fun there too. Two seven thirty five. That plane. There's
a plane stolen on Wednesday from this flight school in Addison, like legitimately under
a mile from where we're at right now. I got audio from the flight
of the kid who stole the plane talking to air traffic controllers. It'll be
kind of nuts at seven thirty five. Oh wait, hold on, no,
it's not gonna be poorn. You have audio of the kid talking to
air traffic control as you two disappeared for four minutes in a studio breaker one
nine. I'm in a plane on a stoleer. Man, I gotta say
it's been air wait for the exclusive audio. It's been airplane week on the
downbeat airplane year. Boy, hadn't it to the downbeat? Whiteboard stays on
zero days since our last airplane story for the entire week I was in twenty
twenty four flights. The prices of flights are going up, but real and
like odds of returning from flight have gone way down, like we have,
plane prices should be dropping right now. If we got loose bolts on planes
and we got doors falling off, Okay, that at least was a significant
story. All of the guy that got removed from the plane were cutting the
cheese, all of them, all the rest of them fall into the category
that we all need to remember that this stuff's been going on forever. It's
no worse than it is now. It's no worse now than it was for
pretty much our whole existence is. But because of Twitter and everything, these
stories blow up and we think, my god, plane travels crazy these days.
It's always been the same. I can tell you exactly what it is.
It's because we had a couple of real, big national news stories that
had to do with planes, and because I clicked them and read them.
Now all of my news sources filter and funnel airplane stories to me. So
they're at the top of my news feed. Is they think, oh,
this guy loves airplanes. You know who's sitting over there, sad in the
corner right now, Hamburger. Because this is the show that covers this is
the show that covers all things airplanes and hamburgers. I haven't really talked about
hamburgers much. Just a sad hamburger in the corner of the room. I
had to getting there, Yeah, I had to get all the way to
the bottom of my news feed to see somebody's review of the four Patty Big
Mac. Really that's usually at the top. All right, next week I'm
going to bring in a giant hamburger and just put it in the corner of
the room. See if Yeah, we'll just leave. Well, they're going
to leave it there after the show, no explanation, no nothing. At
a station that used to harbor rats. You're going to do that? Yeah,
I want to go back to the downtown studio closer to my house.
And that was a beating Mike Siroy the Pied Piper Radio hamburger sitting in the
room there is that skin screams the hamburger. Hey, you don't want to
go there as a morning show host. You were there as a fornoon show
host at the time, and it was fine. You don't want to go
there as a morning show host. Really waiting outside the building hoping that the
security guard at the front desk will wake up and let you in. It's
cold. You don't want to just don't bring the hamburger. The hamburger thing.
A legend has died. We'll talk about hurt six thirty five. But
there's a conspiracy twist to this involving the town of More, Oklahoma. Oh
six thirty five. Someone fire off some emails to the well. I haven't
got any responses, but emails have been fired off. You're tracking down the
ferg to the ferg and the city manager of More, Oklahoma. We're obsessed
with More, Oklahoma. So there's that also. I mean, gosh,
there's just so much crap on today show. There's just so much stuff.
I don't even like I had seven o'clock, man, I ain't. I
got some cowboys concerned. So that's about the coaching carousel. I think they're
gonna get caught looking at their wiener been there I have. It's an interesting
the slow pinch and lift and roll. I don't know, pinch, what
are you doing down there? For? What are you ever doing this?
The older I get, the less useful you are. I barely need you
at this point. I don't even really think about you much anymore. Best
friends, friend, so close. You used them too much every day,
and now look at you. Maybe it's true that you only have like a
finite amount up. You started earlier than than most might have. Look.
Small town life is boring. You create your own fun. That's probably the
most that's of all the small town games. That's maybe just the one that
that's played the most. Slap the sailor, Oh man, I hainte.
The Cowboys're gonna lose our hairs really to someone and a division rivals hiring good
coaches, and it almost seems like they're doing it to get at the Cowboys.
More on that. It supports a tuan mine. What well, actually,
I need the cord for a minute. I'm sorry, I should mind
that forward and grab the cord and hand it to Kevin. I don't throw
it, hand it like a shimp before hand it like a man. You
sound like me teaching Malcolm how to not throw everything when you ask him for
something. No, we hand it. We don't throw it, don't hand
it. I am playing this to promote the uh, well, a couple
of things. So this is something I will play for the speakeasy real quick.
Nothing worse than asking for his for his drink and you get a half
full sippy cup launched at your sack at about one hundred and one miles an
hour. It's like, no, we hand it out. Have you ever
wailed you in the balls on purpose? I don't think it's ever on purpose.
But like I've said before, there is some laser guided technology that directs
any aggression towards the mid section every size thing, probably half of it.
Yeah. I remember the day I thought it'd be funny to whale my dad
and the balls he was laying in bed. Oh, Lesson learned they get
busted because you know, I was like, you're a little kid. I
thought it was funny. It seems to be a funny zone. That's all
I knew, and I did the whooh oh no, Bill was the first
word that came out of I don't know. I don't remember that. I
was. It was less than five. It's one of those just flashes that
you remember it was. It was, damn it. There's no doubt.
I think his hand just grabbed me by the back of my shirt or scruff
and like the one arm lift and then face to face. Lesson delivered very
quickly. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I want to kill him.
I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna kill him least country dude. All
right, what's this exciting audio? I'm gonna go speak easy. This is
Jeff. So sometimes Jeff is he'll hill be the first to tell you he's
not the most knowledgeable when it comes to names and movies and things like that.
Are you calling your friends stupid? What you want to say? You
guys used to be roommates. You we're on a show together, and here
you are, not even seventeen minutes into the show and you're calling your friend
dumb. Mike's the one that started because Mike was like, you have some
knowledge gaps, don't you? And now he says that a lot. So
it was Sully Selenberger's birthday the other day, and he definitely thought Sully Sullenburger
was someone else. Sully Sullenberger is seventy three years old today. He landed
a plane on the Hudson River. I saw part of the movie. Turned
out he was what super drunk and pretty much high on blow. But he
was like, yeah, but I also did something that other people couldn't.
A flight. Oh was that a different That's Denzel saw Hanks like, I
don't think he was high blow. I'm over here going wait a minute,
Sully Sullenberger, hound Blow. I mean to tell me there are two people
that did hairplane movies in the last twenty years. So Sully was not Denzel.
I didn't know, No, he was not. My understanding is he
fleent real good though I have knowledge gaps. I have knowledge gaps. He
leans into it. I love it. Hey, Denzel was Sully. It's
an honest mistake. I know it's I know it's I don't even know.
The Denzel movie is My flight. Yeah, pilot planes backwards. He's a
pilot that just is just full throttle alcoholic coke head, and he gets in
the cockpit and just all things can happen, the planes upside down. It's
it's not actually upside down. Commercial airline. Yeah, it's amazing. It's
amazing. He uses the tactic to, you know, avoid what would be
a certain death for three hundred passengers. So he has to use this method,
but he's blasted out of his brain and he ends up having to testify
about this case. And then I don't remember exactly. It was a good
movie though, Lightning Fast to just as I mentioned the dad nutshot. I
remember two other things my dad taught me on a plane. One time we
sat down and I went and met the pilot and I came back and sat
down. My dad, is he sober? And I remember I said,
I hope so. And that's the moment I learned what the word sober meant.
And I don't know if it's the same flight or not, but another
flight. I went back to the bathroom and I grabbed, uh what was
called ah? But what's the proper term? A female? No? No,
no, no, out of the bathroom, A tampy. Yeah,
it wasn't a tampon though, it was a paddy, but it was called
maxi pad feminine napkin, exactly right. And I walked back out of the
bathroom like with the feminine napkin, like blowing my nose and wiping my face
with it. My dad just starts laughing, You didn't get it. Just
tell me you didn't get it out of the trash. No, I didn't
get out of the trash. I got out of the little the pull,
the paper pull receptacle that's in the almost bathroom. You get it out of
the trash, can get back to the seat and your parents are making you
hold your head back. It'll stop in a minute. My face with a
very clean that's a lovely sounding product, feminine hyde. You know that sounds
nice. He just wiping it all over my face and my dad just laughs.
He's like, all right, that's not for you, kiddo. They
are quite absorbent. Yeah, less he's learned. We've all messed around with
him, been less than Friday. You fumbled around and the cabinet underneath the
sink in the bathroom before. What's this? What is that? I had
a buddy that took got two of those pads and took off the adhesive strip
and stuck him to the bottom of his feet, walked out and told his
mom, I have new shoes shoes here. Okay, honey, what are
you doing, Kevin? H I know Mike's gonna do something this. Yeah,
this is big, all right, well it's big for us. No
one panic. This is about golf. Okay, it's I mean, you
give me five minutes, six minutes of your time and then determine if you
find it's interesting or not. If the answer no, I'm okay with that.
So there's a man who was his name Danny. I'm sure you've heard
he is a resident of DFW last we heard, and I can't confirm that
because the man is a complete enigma. But his name is Anthony Kim.
Okay. Anthony Kim was one of the best golfers in the world in like
seven, eighth, nine, ten, that kind of that window of time
got up the number six in the world. He's a California dude. He
got his tour card in two thousand and seven, right, he finished second
on his first PGA Tour start. He won the next year. He had
three total tour wins. He played for TMUSA and the President's Cup. He
played on the eight Ryder Cup team. He actually in two thousand and nine
set a Master's record that stands today eleven birdies in one round. So wait.
He won three tour events the year he got his card. No.
No. In his in his career, his career, I think four years,
I think you would call it Anthony Kim. The dude was charismatic,
he was funny, he had balls. He kind of didn't I mean he
was. I mean, a lot of people have gotten the next Tiger Woods
label, but he was one that a lot of people focused I remember,
and I mean to be that young and make a Rider Cup team. He's
just a stud right ever loved him. American born, infectious, yes,
California kid Asian descent yes, okay, yes, but straight up California.
Honestly, he's got a hip hop vibe to the way he talks. I
watched a couple of interviews yesterday. He was on Jay Leno. I mean,
he's just kid, cool kid, incredible golfer and all the everyone's like,
this was the dude. He could do anything with the golf, you
know whatever, Just one of those savants. But the last we saw Anthony
Kim in competition, he was twenty six years old. It was twenty twelve.
He withdrew from the event after a bad opening round. He had an
injury. He ended up getting Achille surgery, and he was out for nine
to twelve months, you know, And I was like, all right,
let's sucks Anthony Kim. We're gonna miss him for a while. But after
that day in twenty twelve, Anthony Kim essentially completely disappeared, you know.
And after a year, I was like, all right, where's Anthony Kim?
Like Achilles didn't go well what happened was there a different surgery something like
that, and no one knew, and you're like, what the hell this
is? Like the guy, this is one of the guys. Where is
he is? One of the futures of American golf? We all love him,
everyone loves him, and he's gone and no one can even find him,
get a hold of him. He turns into essentially a recluse, a
recluse that lives in Dallas. So what was thought to have happened is that
he had a insurance policy for his career that earned him between ten and twenty
million dollars if he never played golf again. So maybe because of his injuries,
he's like, I don't know if I can play. I don't know
where I'm at. Or maybe because he's like ten twenty million bucks, am
I going to make that in the next five ten years? I mean,
this is before the person in golf went absolutely crazy. So he just never
came back. He never came back to golf, and he turns into this
sort of legend, this recluse. After a decade, you know, everyone's
like, like, have you seen oh my god, there's a picture of
Anthony Kim. He was at this party in Massachusetts. I thought, I
mean this, I thought I saw him at the American Airline Center with this
tall blonde. Does she look like a porn star? Game? Yes?
I'm like, is that Anthony Kim and my friend John Bogg And I'm like,
dude, that's Anthony Kim. Like it's like Bigfoot of golf for golf,
I'm sure that Like golf media outlets made various attempts to try to locate
him and talk to him right over the years. Yeah, he did was
last interview I think was in twenty fifteen where he did mention the insurance policy,
but no one was sure. And it's like, even if you are
getting this money, like come back, dude, you're Anthony Kim and he
was gone again. Not many pictures show up with this dude, So it's
almost like a joke. And for golf nerds like Kevin and I, it's
like Anthony Kim, Where's Anthony Kim? Like it's fun, but nothing ever
comes of it until yesterday when word comes out that out of absolutely nowhere,
at age thirty eight, Anthony Kim wants to come back, okay, and
we're like what now? When the live thing was popping off. Last year.
I did a segment about I did a segment about possibly on to deaf
ears about Anthony Kim and if liv wants to make a splash, get Anthony
Kim, pay him. They're already paying these people one hundreds of million dollars.
You can offset that twenty million that he I think has to pay back
if he ever plays golf again, which is a really weird dynamic. You
know, you have twenty million dollars if you ever played professional golf again,
you have to return that. That's what people think is the case with the
introance, just to return all of it. That's what That's what the thought
is for why he didn't return, which doesn't make sense because he should have
got that suring the last fifteen years he hasn't played golf. But that's the
concern. So yesterday News drops it starts whispering on not reputable golf blogs and
podcasts Anthony Kimanthony Kim. But then golf dot Com, who I consider very
reputable, puts a thing. They say Anthony Kim wants to come back,
and this is not a joke. So he is apparently contacted the PGA tour
asking about what sort of exemption status he can get, what tournaments he can
get into, and he's contacted Live and I guess Live originally didn't have much
interest in this, not willingness to pay for Kim to join the league,
and then Dustin Johnson among others, like, dude, if you don't remember,
this is Anthony Kim, and Live CEO Greg Norman directly contacted Kim good
I might and there, I guess talking about a one year offer that would
essentially cover Kim's insurance policy. They're not giving him a hundred million, but
they're like, this will be more than enough to cover this insurance thing.
If you have to give it a give it away in the area of ten
twenty million, whatever it was, he'd have to pay back. No,
I have finite spots on Live right, And they don't know if they want
to sign him to a team because they're like, oh, he might he
might suck at golf. I mean relative, yeah, he might not.
How do you take that much time off? Is it gonna if he comes
back? Does it sort of ruin the magic because we all have it of
where is Anthony Kim? Yesterday was huge? If you're into this sort of
thing. And there's no bigger powered hughes or recluse or mystery in the world
of golf. And where Anthony Kim has been for fifteen years, and as
of yesterday, the dude wants back, either on the tour or with live.
You wonder if they would ask him, I don't know how to do
some kind of audition round to see if he still got it. Well,
it's interesting too. Yeah, and he has a pure swing. I mean
he would look fine in that. It's just, oh my god, he
can play, but under the pressure of competition at age thirty eight, which
is right in the start to decline window, and that's what fifteen years away
from any real competition, yeah, or ten years or thirteen, twelve thirteen.
I'm sure you get out and played quite a bit around here as well.
No pictures though, but you don't hear about it. And I don't
get to play the nice course as much, but we know people who are
around and you'd hear whispers if he's at Dallas National working on this, or
he's at Marideau playing money games with Romo and whoever. He turned into a
golf ghost. It's a fascinating story a dude who is right there age twenty
six, like perfect time, majors are coming, and then to just voluntarily
disappear. And now on January twenty fifth, twenty twenty four, Anthony Kim
might come back. If news breaks on that you'll hear it from the downbeat
before you hear it from anyone else. Right, Well, it's because we're
the first show on the air. I guarantee it. No, not just
today, anytime. If it breaks really, Kevin, try to book Anthony
Kim, have Anthony Kim on the show. In the studio you can bump
Brody. Anthony Kim and Eminem are calling it. At nine thirty five,
Eminem's got some takes in the Lions Boy come him nextt a bit of thank
you Mike. That was fun. Sure. Coming up next a legendary porn
actress found dead in the city of More, Oklahoma. Conspiracy theory. Next
