WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:13.240
It's the downbeat on ninety seven to
one, the Freak by Champion Hell is

2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:20.960
frozen the Texas Rangers of your twenty
twenty three World Series champions cheers, raise

3
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:28.120
a glass, JJ, get it
up, Get that cup up, bet

4
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.559
a girl. We are in the
cups on the downbeat. I don't care.

5
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.719
I don't care either. Four bottles
champagn There is nothing wrong with a

6
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.240
nice tasty mimosa. Yeah, that's
fashing the first couple. We're just straight

7
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.920
up champagne, not of a primer. Yeah. We're now, we're in

8
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.399
it to win it. We're in
the long Hauls're pacing ourselves or make it

9
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.640
the run. We got a party
all morning, man, that's the idea.

10
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.399
We are sipping champagne. We have
songs. We're just gonna give money

11
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.960
away out of our pockets. Seriously, we just kick it. We don't

12
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.319
have a promotions department, so we're
like, I don't know, let's just

13
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:11.000
venmo people money. So at some
point the next little bit, we're gonna

14
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.760
start spinning the Commissioner's Championship wheel and
whatever it lands on we have to do.

15
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:21.120
And one of the things is Ranger
money, where if you call in

16
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.120
you have a venmo. We're just
gonna tell you money. How much are

17
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.560
wed? I think seventy one dollars
because the Rangers scored seventy one runs on

18
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.400
the road in the playoffs, they
were ninety seven one, and we didn't

19
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:41.599
want to give away ninety seven dollars. We'd prefer not seventy one because we

20
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:42.640
don't know how many times a damn
wheel is going to land on that thing.

21
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:49.719
We definitely don't want to give away
or nine dollars seventy one since think

22
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.719
about that not even worth doing that. Instead, we're not going to be

23
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.680
cheap ass, but think about how
many people we could do, like fifty

24
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.959
people. I see you take a
call. That's nothing people. I see

25
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.640
coworker, cold call. I see
the candy basket. I don't know that

26
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.159
is on the Wheel of Champions.
That means none of us want candy because

27
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:14.599
there's too much candy. The last
couple of days candy it seems like the

28
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.800
most disgusting thing, but stolen based. Steve brought up a whole bucket of

29
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.199
candy. So if you if you
land on candy basket, you have to

30
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.400
get up and go eat candy.
I'd rather send a stranger seventy one dollars

31
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.319
and eat one more fun size.
Prove it if you land on candy baskets,

32
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.080
send a stranger another seventy one dollars. Okay, exact one thousand dollars.

33
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.240
It's a tough challenge because I will
eat the candy instead of just eat

34
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.400
seventy one dollars for a fun size
that you don't eat to avoid it,

35
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.680
save seventy one bucks, or eat
a Tootsie roll like you eat. Okay,

36
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.039
every time, I have been talking
at ten times out of ten because

37
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:53.039
we say those things all the time. When you wake up at the morning

38
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.360
and you're super tired, and you
said yourself, oh my god, I

39
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.319
would pay somebody five hundred dollars to
work for me today, and then the

40
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.960
phone rings and it's the fill in
guys, five hundred bucks and you're like,

41
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.639
yeah, put my shoes on right. Fun. Well, hopefully you're

42
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:15.039
getting in late to work today,
hungover or partying all day whatever. That's

43
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.520
the idea here. We're gonna have
fun all day long. I promise you.

44
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.759
All the other shows on the station
are gonna be rocking it all day

45
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.080
long as well. But we're gonna
go hard until ten o'clock, man Ben

46
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:29.599
and Skin were teasing their thoughts on
abortion. Yeah, so like you know,

47
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.080
yeah, it's not a full four
hour party. Yeah, there's a

48
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:37.680
situation in Pakistan with some I know
dude. Julia was tweeting about that last

49
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:43.719
night. Yeah, at nine to
fifty pm did I did, went out

50
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.840
to the victims. I did.
Lol at your your abortion tweet last night.

51
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.919
My favorite part was abortion was he
ended the tweet with one of fifty

52
00:03:54.039 --> 00:04:00.199
seven one slash fifty seven. This
conversation. I actually clicked it. I

53
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.000
was like you did, and I
would love to hear a man's opinion.

54
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:10.919
Yea, yeah, right. The
world's been waiting for Kevin Turner. Kevin

55
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:19.680
Turner had like ten oh five after
the Reachers when their first efing world series

56
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:26.680
in history. That's funny, incredible
idiot. But as I mentioned earlier and

57
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.399
uh just said now that there's going
to be some songs incorporated with today,

58
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.879
including a legitimate song that is not
it's out of our hands, but we're

59
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:40.560
happy it is because at what nine
o'clock sharp, Yeah, nine o'clock,

60
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:45.439
and this is no joke. At
nine o'clock, all iHeartMedia platforms, every

61
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.439
radio station in the iHeart Family seven
and fifty. I think that paperwork said,

62
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:54.199
yeah, like seven hundred and fifty
stations in multiple formats are going to

63
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.040
all simultaneously be doing that. Yes
they could, because last night they iHeart

64
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:08.079
received the brand new Beatles song,
the final ever Beatles song, and they

65
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.399
loaded it into the system and it
is set to play at straight up nine

66
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.480
o'clock today and you can hear it
right here on ninety seven one the Freak.

67
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:15.480
Now, for those of you that
may not know what this is,

68
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:20.680
if you remember, I think it
was nineteen maybe it was two thousand and

69
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:29.600
five, there were a couple of
demos that John Lennon had that Yoko gave

70
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.079
to Paul George and Ringo and said, hey, here's some There's like three

71
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:36.279
songs, three demos that John had
been working on that were unfinished, and

72
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.360
with the technology they had at the
time, they were able to lift his

73
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.800
voice from these cassette demos. I
mean it was him with a cassette player

74
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.319
sitting on his piano and him just
doing a demo like I'm trying this song

75
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.319
out. But they were fairly fully
realized ideas. They just didn't have any

76
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:55.680
instrumentation to them. Well, they
took two of those songs in two thousand

77
00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:58.519
and five. One of them was
called Free as a Bird and one was

78
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.480
called I Think Real Love, and
they released them as Beatles songs and they

79
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.319
all performed on them. Ringo played
drums, Paul played bass, and George

80
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:10.519
played guitar, and they all did
harmonies and piano, and they made them

81
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:16.560
actual Beatles songs where the Beatles played
together in the studio with John Lennon's voice

82
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.920
from like the early mid seventies on
it. And they released these two singles.

83
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:25.319
Well, there was one that they
just could not get the piano out

84
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.439
of. They didn't have the technology
at the time to get the piano removed

85
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.879
from these vocals. Okay, Well, fast forward to twenty twenty two,

86
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.639
and we remember what happened last Thanksgiving. We had the release of Get Back,

87
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:42.839
the documentary that Peter Jackson did on
the Beatles making their final album I

88
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:49.600
Guess next to final album, and
the technology had advanced so well that they

89
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:57.839
were able to isolate the vocals from
the final John Lennon demo, unfinished demo.

90
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.519
Paul and Ringo, the only surviving
members of the band, got together.

91
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.639
They had tried working on this in
two thousand and five, so there

92
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.319
was some George guitar on it.
So this is the final Beatles song with

93
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.199
all four of them playing on it. We're going to debut it at nine

94
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.480
o'clock. So what that leads me
to is this. In our post show

95
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.439
meeting yesterday was Zach. We were
talking about this, and I don't remember

96
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.920
it was you, Mikey or Zach
or maybe Kevin, but somebody said,

97
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:30.120
man, what if we had a
Beatles song, Beatles inspired Rangers song that

98
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.720
we could play tomorrow? Right?
And you guys look at me, and

99
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.920
I'm like, I'll try to put
something together. I don't know if it'll

100
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:40.040
be really good, but I can't
play any instruments and I don't know how

101
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.040
to make music or do songs.
Yeah, I mean, it was natural

102
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.160
for us to think of you to
do that, just because you're just so

103
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.480
perfect at everything. All the heads
in the room whip my direction and I

104
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.839
said, guys, no, So
Mikey sheepishly threw the baton to me,

105
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.319
and I said, okay, fine, I'll bail you out again. But

106
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.560
there was a little bit of debate
on what to do because we knew that

107
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.040
this Beatles song, this brand new
Beatles song, which we will premiere today

108
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.360
at nine o'clock. You know,
do we want to do something that is

109
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.800
Ranger related because what if this thing
goes to a Game six or a Game

110
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:18.680
seven, or the worst case scenario
that they don't win. And at the

111
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.199
time we had a big hex on
us too about not wanting to jinx anything,

112
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:28.480
absolutely because we were scared so because
of what had happened. Because it's

113
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.480
it's true, I mean, technically
we're media and you there's must you have

114
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.919
to you have to prepare for things, but you can't you know, hex

115
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.200
things. Just like we said,
the parade has to be discussed prior to

116
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.360
the game being over. Of course, media outlets have to say, what

117
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.120
are we gonna do if this happens? What's this going to look like?

118
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.799
Everything? And we're on the parade
at seven thirty by the way, Yeah,

119
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:50.879
and we had to plan the same, so you do have to.

120
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.360
Okay, when they were getting no
hit, I'm sitting there going see if

121
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.320
they like if they won. We
knew we're gonna bring champagne, We're gonna

122
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.559
spin the the Commissioner's wheel. We
had all these playing and it hit me,

123
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.360
like in the no hit sixth inning, I'm like, we didn't discuss

124
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.279
any not one thing, one plant
if they lose, Like, what's gonna

125
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.480
be on the show tomorrow? So
anyway, you have to get ahead of

126
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.120
song Corrico eight o'clock. That's all
we got. Yeah, So Mikey was

127
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.679
like, why don't we do it
and just roll the dice, let's gamble,

128
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.919
let's do it as if the Rangers
won, make a championship song inspired

129
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.840
by the Beatles, and lo and
behold, they did it and we get

130
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.039
to play it now. So before
the game five o'clock, I sit down,

131
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.799
crack open the computer, get the
studio all ready to go. I

132
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.200
get the guitars out, and I
sit down and I'm like, I don't

133
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.399
even know what to do. So
two hours later, I had this thing

134
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.639
finished. It's ninety seconds long.
It's not a big long song, so

135
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.759
you know, I let me put
it this way. When I was finished

136
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.519
with this, I could not contain
my excitement. This is one of the

137
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.120
favorite things that I've ever done musically
for radio. Almost always Danny's like,

138
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.399
oh, I like any song like
I did, it's stupid. Whatever play

139
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.840
is, it's fine. So You're
gonna hear he was like when he textas,

140
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.039
he was like kind of proud of
Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty proud

141
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:16.240
of this one. You're gonna hear
every damn Beatles cliche in this song as

142
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.559
far as their vibe, their musicality. Okay, it's probably maybe this is

143
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.480
like maybe Revolver era. I don't
know, but let's just play it.

144
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:33.720
This is the Texas Rangers World Series
championship song inspired by the Beatles. Here

145
00:10:33.759 --> 00:11:13.399
we Go, frankt he even triumph
since nineteen seventies, six God Clemson,

146
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:24.639
eleventh, the cons How are you
even? Twenty twenty three? Everythings Away,

147
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:37.799
it's sposed to be Sexes. Rangers
just won the Silat Food Lat Food

148
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:48.840
lat Food to two, you are
the champions of the world. If yeah,

149
00:11:50.919 --> 00:12:09.639
outright? All right, that's fantastic, amazing, that's incredible, fantastic.

150
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:15.000
The layering of the audio jumping over
the other one so ridiculous. A

151
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:16.679
couple of things to you, you
played all the guitar parts on that,

152
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:22.200
because there's like ones like there's when
the guitar parts did too deep in out

153
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.720
go ahead. Well, there's like
a second the second guitar comes in at

154
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.759
a different time when the first guitar
was playing about the forty five to fifty

155
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.679
seconds in just the presence of min
eye would have been lazy. And so

156
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.519
that first guitar part is good enough, and you brought in that other guitar

157
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:43.480
kind of fatting it up. Yeah, what a monster. That's so good?

158
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.000
Does that get you high? I
was imagining like all of the Seager

159
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.120
home runs in the old bombie moment, like in my head as he that

160
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.720
was playing too, I was like, and then I was imagining the parade

161
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.120
and that blasting in the crowd yelling
the first time you said the Rangers of

162
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.480
the World Series Champions. Yeah,
it's amazing, And then I hear it

163
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.840
and I wish it was so late, you know, by the time we're

164
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.240
soaking in all the you know,
the end of the game and the postgame.

165
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.000
Like I said, I didn't even
I had to go to bed before

166
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.360
FS one signed off their broadcast.
They were still interviewing dudes, and I

167
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.639
just made the executive decision to turn
the lights out and try to get some

168
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.399
sleep. But like, man,
I wish that I could have had some

169
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.799
calls over that, you know,
Nadell and the Rangers that just won the

170
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.279
World Series, you know, just
to kind of add emphasis to the song

171
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.360
and make it even more cool.
Well, maybe somebody else can do that.

172
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.039
If you're an afternoon Drive Danny,
you could have done that this morning.

173
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:43.600
It's true. I did send it
to Chuck Morgan this morning at like

174
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.879
four point thirty. I just said, hey, man, whatever you want

175
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.639
to do with this. You know
people in audio visual or people that can

176
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:52.960
do video editing. You know,
if you want to add some put this

177
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.120
underneath a cool montage or add audio
to it. Feel free and maybe that

178
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:05.240
could be on a little Ranger's anthem. Now playing Danny Bayless, Danny is

179
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:13.200
actually better than the Beatles. They
broke up a long time. That slaps.

180
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.840
Great job, Danny. I sent
that to I sent that to Chris

181
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.639
Holt last night before the game started. Chris Holt is a really good friend

182
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.960
of all of ours. He is
uh, he plays with the Heartbreakers,

183
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.519
he played with Bob Dylan recently.
He's he was in the Hard Night to

184
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:33.919
Day, the Beatles tribute Act for
a million years. And I sent that

185
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.360
to him and I and I said, man, we're gonna play this tomorrow

186
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:39.960
if this team actually wins. His
sucker tonight and I go, I think

187
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:41.799
it kind of slaps, and he
and I told him, I go,

188
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.080
it does sound like a I made
a Beatles song, because it's like all

189
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:52.240
of the Beatles tricks in one tune
in ninety seconds. And he's like he,

190
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.720
you know, to get a compliment
from him, He's like, dude,

191
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.919
this does actually slap, but it
does sound a lot like AI.

192
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:01.720
You know, like like you just
typed in make a Beatles song and that's

193
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.840
what you end up getting. It's
unmistakable. You know, it's supposed to

194
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.840
be, you know, the Beatles, ish but beautiful. I got hold,

195
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.000
I got, I got Holt approval. Yeah, I'll take you,

196
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.639
Yeah totally. My whole musical career
is just to get Chris Holt to think

197
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:22.360
my stuff's good. Yeah, send
you a thumbs up emoji. Awesome.

198
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:26.120
Let's go. So coming up next, let's talk about details of the parade,

199
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:30.120
what's going to happen there, And
let's spend that wheel for the first

200
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.879
time, the Commissioner's wheel and find
out what we have to do. Could
