It's the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the Freak by Champion Hell is
frozen the Texas Rangers of your twenty twenty three World Series champions cheers, raise
a glass, JJ, get it up, Get that cup up, bet
a girl. We are in the cups on the downbeat. I don't care.
I don't care either. Four bottles champagn There is nothing wrong with a
nice tasty mimosa. Yeah, that's fashing the first couple. We're just straight
up champagne, not of a primer. Yeah. We're now, we're in
it to win it. We're in the long Hauls're pacing ourselves or make it
the run. We got a party all morning, man, that's the idea.
We are sipping champagne. We have songs. We're just gonna give money
away out of our pockets. Seriously, we just kick it. We don't
have a promotions department, so we're like, I don't know, let's just
venmo people money. So at some point the next little bit, we're gonna
start spinning the Commissioner's Championship wheel and whatever it lands on we have to do.
And one of the things is Ranger money, where if you call in
you have a venmo. We're just gonna tell you money. How much are
wed? I think seventy one dollars because the Rangers scored seventy one runs on
the road in the playoffs, they were ninety seven one, and we didn't
want to give away ninety seven dollars. We'd prefer not seventy one because we
don't know how many times a damn wheel is going to land on that thing.
We definitely don't want to give away or nine dollars seventy one since think
about that not even worth doing that. Instead, we're not going to be
cheap ass, but think about how many people we could do, like fifty
people. I see you take a call. That's nothing people. I see
coworker, cold call. I see the candy basket. I don't know that
is on the Wheel of Champions. That means none of us want candy because
there's too much candy. The last couple of days candy it seems like the
most disgusting thing, but stolen based. Steve brought up a whole bucket of
candy. So if you if you land on candy basket, you have to
get up and go eat candy. I'd rather send a stranger seventy one dollars
and eat one more fun size. Prove it if you land on candy baskets,
send a stranger another seventy one dollars. Okay, exact one thousand dollars.
It's a tough challenge because I will eat the candy instead of just eat
seventy one dollars for a fun size that you don't eat to avoid it,
save seventy one bucks, or eat a Tootsie roll like you eat. Okay,
every time, I have been talking at ten times out of ten because
we say those things all the time. When you wake up at the morning
and you're super tired, and you said yourself, oh my god, I
would pay somebody five hundred dollars to work for me today, and then the
phone rings and it's the fill in guys, five hundred bucks and you're like,
yeah, put my shoes on right. Fun. Well, hopefully you're
getting in late to work today, hungover or partying all day whatever. That's
the idea here. We're gonna have fun all day long. I promise you.
All the other shows on the station are gonna be rocking it all day
long as well. But we're gonna go hard until ten o'clock, man Ben
and Skin were teasing their thoughts on abortion. Yeah, so like you know,
yeah, it's not a full four hour party. Yeah, there's a
situation in Pakistan with some I know dude. Julia was tweeting about that last
night. Yeah, at nine to fifty pm did I did, went out
to the victims. I did. Lol at your your abortion tweet last night.
My favorite part was abortion was he ended the tweet with one of fifty
seven one slash fifty seven. This conversation. I actually clicked it. I
was like you did, and I would love to hear a man's opinion.
Yea, yeah, right. The world's been waiting for Kevin Turner. Kevin
Turner had like ten oh five after the Reachers when their first efing world series
in history. That's funny, incredible idiot. But as I mentioned earlier and
uh just said now that there's going to be some songs incorporated with today,
including a legitimate song that is not it's out of our hands, but we're
happy it is because at what nine o'clock sharp, Yeah, nine o'clock,
and this is no joke. At nine o'clock, all iHeartMedia platforms, every
radio station in the iHeart Family seven and fifty. I think that paperwork said,
yeah, like seven hundred and fifty stations in multiple formats are going to
all simultaneously be doing that. Yes they could, because last night they iHeart
received the brand new Beatles song, the final ever Beatles song, and they
loaded it into the system and it is set to play at straight up nine
o'clock today and you can hear it right here on ninety seven one the Freak.
Now, for those of you that may not know what this is,
if you remember, I think it was nineteen maybe it was two thousand and
five, there were a couple of demos that John Lennon had that Yoko gave
to Paul George and Ringo and said, hey, here's some There's like three
songs, three demos that John had been working on that were unfinished, and
with the technology they had at the time, they were able to lift his
voice from these cassette demos. I mean it was him with a cassette player
sitting on his piano and him just doing a demo like I'm trying this song
out. But they were fairly fully realized ideas. They just didn't have any
instrumentation to them. Well, they took two of those songs in two thousand
and five. One of them was called Free as a Bird and one was
called I Think Real Love, and they released them as Beatles songs and they
all performed on them. Ringo played drums, Paul played bass, and George
played guitar, and they all did harmonies and piano, and they made them
actual Beatles songs where the Beatles played together in the studio with John Lennon's voice
from like the early mid seventies on it. And they released these two singles.
Well, there was one that they just could not get the piano out
of. They didn't have the technology at the time to get the piano removed
from these vocals. Okay, Well, fast forward to twenty twenty two,
and we remember what happened last Thanksgiving. We had the release of Get Back,
the documentary that Peter Jackson did on the Beatles making their final album I
Guess next to final album, and the technology had advanced so well that they
were able to isolate the vocals from the final John Lennon demo, unfinished demo.
Paul and Ringo, the only surviving members of the band, got together.
They had tried working on this in two thousand and five, so there
was some George guitar on it. So this is the final Beatles song with
all four of them playing on it. We're going to debut it at nine
o'clock. So what that leads me to is this. In our post show
meeting yesterday was Zach. We were talking about this, and I don't remember
it was you, Mikey or Zach or maybe Kevin, but somebody said,
man, what if we had a Beatles song, Beatles inspired Rangers song that
we could play tomorrow? Right? And you guys look at me, and
I'm like, I'll try to put something together. I don't know if it'll
be really good, but I can't play any instruments and I don't know how
to make music or do songs. Yeah, I mean, it was natural
for us to think of you to do that, just because you're just so
perfect at everything. All the heads in the room whip my direction and I
said, guys, no, So Mikey sheepishly threw the baton to me,
and I said, okay, fine, I'll bail you out again. But
there was a little bit of debate on what to do because we knew that
this Beatles song, this brand new Beatles song, which we will premiere today
at nine o'clock. You know, do we want to do something that is
Ranger related because what if this thing goes to a Game six or a Game
seven, or the worst case scenario that they don't win. And at the
time we had a big hex on us too about not wanting to jinx anything,
absolutely because we were scared so because of what had happened. Because it's
it's true, I mean, technically we're media and you there's must you have
to you have to prepare for things, but you can't you know, hex
things. Just like we said, the parade has to be discussed prior to
the game being over. Of course, media outlets have to say, what
are we gonna do if this happens? What's this going to look like?
Everything? And we're on the parade at seven thirty by the way, Yeah,
and we had to plan the same, so you do have to.
Okay, when they were getting no hit, I'm sitting there going see if
they like if they won. We knew we're gonna bring champagne, We're gonna
spin the the Commissioner's wheel. We had all these playing and it hit me,
like in the no hit sixth inning, I'm like, we didn't discuss
any not one thing, one plant if they lose, Like, what's gonna
be on the show tomorrow? So anyway, you have to get ahead of
song Corrico eight o'clock. That's all we got. Yeah, So Mikey was
like, why don't we do it and just roll the dice, let's gamble,
let's do it as if the Rangers won, make a championship song inspired
by the Beatles, and lo and behold, they did it and we get
to play it now. So before the game five o'clock, I sit down,
crack open the computer, get the studio all ready to go. I
get the guitars out, and I sit down and I'm like, I don't
even know what to do. So two hours later, I had this thing
finished. It's ninety seconds long. It's not a big long song, so
you know, I let me put it this way. When I was finished
with this, I could not contain my excitement. This is one of the
favorite things that I've ever done musically for radio. Almost always Danny's like,
oh, I like any song like I did, it's stupid. Whatever play
is, it's fine. So You're gonna hear he was like when he textas,
he was like kind of proud of Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty proud
of this one. You're gonna hear every damn Beatles cliche in this song as
far as their vibe, their musicality. Okay, it's probably maybe this is
like maybe Revolver era. I don't know, but let's just play it.
This is the Texas Rangers World Series championship song inspired by the Beatles. Here
we Go, frankt he even triumph since nineteen seventies, six God Clemson,
eleventh, the cons How are you even? Twenty twenty three? Everythings Away,
it's sposed to be Sexes. Rangers just won the Silat Food Lat Food
lat Food to two, you are the champions of the world. If yeah,
outright? All right, that's fantastic, amazing, that's incredible, fantastic.
The layering of the audio jumping over the other one so ridiculous. A
couple of things to you, you played all the guitar parts on that,
because there's like ones like there's when the guitar parts did too deep in out
go ahead. Well, there's like a second the second guitar comes in at
a different time when the first guitar was playing about the forty five to fifty
seconds in just the presence of min eye would have been lazy. And so
that first guitar part is good enough, and you brought in that other guitar
kind of fatting it up. Yeah, what a monster. That's so good?
Does that get you high? I was imagining like all of the Seager
home runs in the old bombie moment, like in my head as he that
was playing too, I was like, and then I was imagining the parade
and that blasting in the crowd yelling the first time you said the Rangers of
the World Series Champions. Yeah, it's amazing, And then I hear it
and I wish it was so late, you know, by the time we're
soaking in all the you know, the end of the game and the postgame.
Like I said, I didn't even I had to go to bed before
FS one signed off their broadcast. They were still interviewing dudes, and I
just made the executive decision to turn the lights out and try to get some
sleep. But like, man, I wish that I could have had some
calls over that, you know, Nadell and the Rangers that just won the
World Series, you know, just to kind of add emphasis to the song
and make it even more cool. Well, maybe somebody else can do that.
If you're an afternoon Drive Danny, you could have done that this morning.
It's true. I did send it to Chuck Morgan this morning at like
four point thirty. I just said, hey, man, whatever you want
to do with this. You know people in audio visual or people that can
do video editing. You know, if you want to add some put this
underneath a cool montage or add audio to it. Feel free and maybe that
could be on a little Ranger's anthem. Now playing Danny Bayless, Danny is
actually better than the Beatles. They broke up a long time. That slaps.
Great job, Danny. I sent that to I sent that to Chris
Holt last night before the game started. Chris Holt is a really good friend
of all of ours. He is uh, he plays with the Heartbreakers,
he played with Bob Dylan recently. He's he was in the Hard Night to
Day, the Beatles tribute Act for a million years. And I sent that
to him and I and I said, man, we're gonna play this tomorrow
if this team actually wins. His sucker tonight and I go, I think
it kind of slaps, and he and I told him, I go,
it does sound like a I made a Beatles song, because it's like all
of the Beatles tricks in one tune in ninety seconds. And he's like he,
you know, to get a compliment from him, He's like, dude,
this does actually slap, but it does sound a lot like AI.
You know, like like you just typed in make a Beatles song and that's
what you end up getting. It's unmistakable. You know, it's supposed to
be, you know, the Beatles, ish but beautiful. I got hold,
I got, I got Holt approval. Yeah, I'll take you,
Yeah totally. My whole musical career is just to get Chris Holt to think
my stuff's good. Yeah, send you a thumbs up emoji. Awesome.
Let's go. So coming up next, let's talk about details of the parade,
what's going to happen there, And let's spend that wheel for the first
time, the Commissioner's wheel and find out what we have to do. Could
you a listener just win money by us spending a wheel? Calls talkbacks all
welcome too, and four eight when seven, seven, eight seven one,
