Mike you earlier we talking about the forty nine Ers have won with thirteen
straight regular season games. Yeah, because you know the Bears have lost fifteenth
straight. I did read that this week that amazing and Justin Feels had a
good game at least I guess it was against the Broncos, very first half,
very yeah, after the Dolphins put seventy on them. Yeah. Oh,
you know how many times I heard we ain't the Bronco. Oh boy,
okay, and the Bills had scored. Where is your seventy now,
Moses, dude. I think at halftime of that Dolphins Bills game I was
at they had thirty one or thirty two, and I whisper to Cash,
I'm like, oh god, what if they hang seventy on us? It
just negates the fact that we just did it, and like doubles it.
You know, Yeah, the visional's supposed to be good hurts more. I'm
like, what if please don't hang seventy on us? Supposed to be closed?
Let us have that, you know how it feels. The reason I
brought up that fun fact was because that is tonight's Thursday night football game Washington
in Chicago, and it's just to reiterate that you ain't miss an S on
Thursday night football. So come on out to the Echo Lounge tonight. Yes,
the Rangers cleaned up their business. Yeah, dude, we're free,
any excuses. I want one person listening right now who's considered it. But
it's like, no, I'm not probably not gonna. I just don't do
that sort of thing. To commit to yourself right now that you're gonna You've
decided to come and just have a friend, and it's not like there's pressure
or even awkward milling about. I think people are concerned with that sometimes when
it comes to remotes and stuff like that. This is just a concert at
a minimal I just consider it that. Go have a drink, watch a
badass concert. If you want to say hi to us, please do.
I would love it if you did. No pressure on that either, do.
This is just a chill night that's essentially free. It's kind of a
party for our listeners. Yeah, you know, because it is free.
It's a free damn show. If you get there before six pm, no
cover. Yeah, and then even if you do show up later, what's
ten bucks? Not even ten nine dollars and seventy one cents? Ye?
Free da. If you like Nirvana, if you like Quaker say Nighthawks,
like funky cool grooves, like hip hop, really brand new funk basically is
doing it in their own way. Yeah, if you like us, you
don't even have to like us. Well that's what say. If you like
one of those things. Yeah, do you like Nirvana? Duh? Who
does come tonight? Yeah? Do you like Nirvana? Yes, de dey
come party tonight for free. That's it. Conversation over, that's it?
Do you like groups? Groups? He's gonna be there taking pictures and doing
shots with people. Everybody. Look, even when we moved over from the
old station, people are like, you know what, they never said bad
things about groos groups. Everybody get your selfie with groups who told our self
staff to go f themselves on day one? Yeah, I missed that.
It was amazing. I missed a lot, like the intro to all of
those introduce ourselves and everyone's like here. He is the sweetest boy in DFW,
the one that everyone loves, everyone likes. Never a kind or nothing
other than kind words ever said about him. And he takes one step forward
and says, I'm groobs, go f yourself. He takes us backward.
He goes back into his jack in the box hole, you know, burrows
back into the little drop hole. It's very funny and shocking and discreat so
someone, I'm surprised you made it past that. I thought that was kind
of our data Carvey show Bill Clinton teats getting milked moment, but at least
survived that. So Okay, someone who's on the fence right now, be
like you know what, Fine, I'll go to your stupid thing. Get
off the fence. Don't be a rational bill. Yeah, get off the
fence and come on. We need you Thursday night. Uh JJ. Totally
killer. Yes, movie, totally killer. It's a motally killer. It's
a slasher film. So I wasn't all in fully on this until I saw
like the trailer Ford. So it's about a girl like her mom was living
in this town that uh there was a killer on the loose that killed three
of her friends, like thirty some years ago, and her mom is like
very very just on alert about it and so protective of her, and so
she has to go back in time. She ends up going back in time
in a time machine to try to find who the killer was. Because is
this in the trailer the Sarroy Have you reading it? I'm just reading the
Big Boy. Hey, yeah, he has to go back. She has
she's going back in time. I don't want to say this, park,
I don't know if it's the trailer. So she's going, yeah, you
got it, yeah fat all right. Yeah, So her mom gets killed,
so she's going back in time to find who the killer is or that
her mom can. So it's a comedy corror. It's a comedy horror and
it's like back to the Future mixed with Scream and the references of like twenty
twenty three in the eighties. It spot on perfect, Like the writing of
it was great when it came to stuff like that, and it was,
I mean, it's a perfect like oh felt like an old fashioned slasher horror
film that we all know and love from back in the day and with you
know, a little mixed of sprinkles of comedy in it. And it did
a really good job of keeping on the edge of who the killer was.
And you're going back to see because it's a small town. It's a small
town where people they go to college and they come back and they work it
like they're you know, in the schools and work their sheriff and and so
you're going back in time and you're seeing these people that were introduced to her
as adults, and she's going to school because she's trying to find who the
killer is of her mom's best friends. And it's really really it's so good,
and it just I had so much fun watching it. I really really
did. It's probably will probably be if screen could Scream came out earlier this
year, so Screaming can come out. This will probably be like my top
like slasher horror film. It's this streamer or theater. Yeah, that's only
thing about it. It's not getting any theater time. It's going to Amazon
Prime on the sixth. I think this movie it should be well seen in
the theaters. Yeah, yeah, I think this film should be seen in
the theaters. That's me though. I'm big with you know, being in
that atmosphere and that and the getting that experience because you know, the audience
really gets involved all. Then it definitely was like that last night, everybody
finds out. So she's going back in time to find the sweet sixteen killer
who did all it's killing on Halloween. I'm like, okay, and I
might watch this tomorrow night. I would say all of this movie is brought
to you by Almo Drafthouse Cinema, and we thank them and of them a
lot. I think I'm gonna go see the Stop Making Sense Talking Heads thing
tomorrow night. Hell yeah, I think you should. Yeah that's at Alamo.
I don't know, I don't even where it's at or I don't even
know. Yeah, what is it? I mean, I know stop making
sense. I love it's the concert film. That's the right. I had
that DVD in college. Yeah, like they're just playing at big screen.
Yeah, hell yeah, it's like ninety minutes and probably the best is that
the best musical live. A lot of people say that it in movie,
I guess, and I've never seen it. Oh, I have the album.
So do you know the bit? I was explaining the bit? Skin
explained the bit to me last week. Okay, so yes, okay,
but I I just won't see. I kind of didn't want to know what
the bit wasn't I kind of I wish you hadn't. Yeah, I wish
I hadn't talked to Skin. You should generally just not talk to me.
I know, I know, standard right, you learned that you know looks
you're hot Mopsy Advancing Restoration. We made an awfulness to this acue acquiesced.
Sorry bout your fancy dress or white guy, better grab a hot bob.
You gotta get the hot mom. You're gonna clean it all up with my
trustee hot mom in my hard It's that red microphone button on the iHeartRadio app
where you can leave us a thirty second message. Um, let's go ahead,
just start firing them off, because you got a bunch today. I
think I'm gonna get there well before six, guys. I'm currently thirteen minutes
away the Echo Lounge, not ready to party. I can't wait to see
you all there. Have fun. Be safe on your way over to that
Echo Lounge. Guys. All right, well, hey, this guy's pumped
first in the door. Yeah, I like it. I like it.
We'll talk to Ben and Skin, Christine and Steve. Just a second,
let's do this one. I had to get I had to take PTO in
order to go there today, and then yesterday I even got offered a bonus
to come in today and I said, nope, I'm going to freaky party,
and that goes down. I think he's lying, but it's maybe if
they're just really screwed and they need, like, dude, we need you.
No turn down a bonus? What do you think he's lying? Somebody
give him a sticker to people don't turn down money a sticker. Yeah,
freaks out, have a bunch. Do we have much crap to give away?
We should be Ben over there in the corner with all his shirts yelling
and buy this. We need to give crap away and I officially right now,
I want to if you get there before six whenever Hannah Botta gets done
interviewing young sexy rodeo men Adam driver cowboy. Yeah, I invite her to
join us tonight at our free conversary. Will Hannah Bought a show up?
Come on, Hannah everyone. I would single ladies should show up tonight.
I would imagine some single ladies should go out there to meet the dinger.
He's going to be dressed to kill. What are you wearing? What out
are you coming up with? What are you doing? Are you dressed like
a cowboy? A cowboy? Because before fantastic I don't redo bits. Okay,
that's another lie. A fresh bit tomorrow three for alls. He's wearing
a TUXI. I got a TUXI will be revealed a salmon colored TUXI.
Oh, that's a good deal. So me and my old roommate went to
Colorado for New Year's a few years back and got home and four months later
realized we picked up bedbugs from our airbnb. We had someone come out and
spray probably like five different times, but they would just kill the live ones
and the eggs would hatch and we'd have them again. I love that this
guy took a break during I don't know, crying at the Amazon fulfillment center.
He was working out leave a hot mop. He did sound sad at
the beginning about bed bugs. The guy was infected, so the bed bugs
clung to his body. Yeah, all the way home. People spray them
from Colorado to here. Yeah, they travel. Oh dude, they travel.
Get off of you back into the bed, your new bed. Yeah.
They're like the they're like the herpies of insects. They get in you
basically. Yeah. Hey boy. Speaking of Merton, Hanks, him,
Harry Gant, Mike were a went raw dog on the same waf house waitress
one year on Arbor Day. I guess her hash runs are more of a
cream pie. More importantly, boys, we're fifty one days away from Survivor
series. That's a Thanksgiving tradition like any other. Kevin, it's the best
Saturday of the year. By seven am, we'll have parachuted a corn dog,
popped a gummy. Hopefully our team will score a touchdown this year.
If not, we'll end up on the crazy mouse button not getting full of
cocaine, screaming. It's a schedule for human beings. Russ Martin's still dead,
but the Freak's alive. The Luger Bones Boomer. Really, I hate
to have a cream pie man. Russ Martin is still dead, but the
freak is alive. How was that not the density of what he can put
into a Jesus and bring Harry Gant and Mike Weir together, like his thirty
second talkbacks are like digesting a huge slice of lasagna. Yeah, at the
Italian Festival so much. There's more in a thirty second talk back from Brodie
than there is in our full four hour show. Butt Naked on the mouse,
crazy concentrated, detergent yelling that it's a schedule for human beings. I'm
cocaine right, Hey, guys, Charlie out San Antonio. Uh yeah,
listener from day one. Actually I was tuned in before the show even started.
Uh a year ago. And yeah that first we hear so was a
little weird but fun because everybody was so uncomfortable, I guess anyway. I
love y'all, good luck, and we'll see half your anniversary. All right,
thank you very much. That's sweet. Well, why don't you get
your ass up here? From San Antonio, Man, if you really loved
us, I'll get what Danny saying about portion control and having the robots do
it. Because the Taco Bell and Sigaville, Man, they scamp you on
some meeting them Tacos. Did you go down the road to Kaufman. Boy,
that stuff be falling out in Tacos. They stuffed the meat if you
want to call it that in there, man, I love it, though.
Hell yeah, let's get it right, don't. I don't need to
be overserved, but I definitely don't want to get skimped on the meat.
They do overserve, add more meat. If you are in the food service
industry, Look, your parent company doesn't care about you, well, that's
a good way to get your franchise to go out of business too, especially
after expensive from Chipotle. I ain't worried about Chipotle going out of business once
they're told, though, Hey, if you guys could save up on the
meat for another day, what big bonus coming out. That's how the managers
get paid. Bro. The manager is not the person with their hand in
the meat. Why are you looking at me like that? You looked at
you look crazy? Why do you fire up the manson lamps again. Good
morning, down Beat. I'm so happy for all twelve of y'all involved in
the freak and everybody behind the scenes for making it one year. You guys
are at asolutely amazing and easily one of the best things that's ever happened to
DFW. Keep it up. Love you guys. Got the pipes on that
Dudezes and thirteenth member Dude, Yeah, don't call back, they're going to

down being guy from talk Back. I'm enjoying your program. Dingo's on permanent
vacation, but I'm here watch your back. Dave, Raymond, oh Man,
Mikey. I was your guy. I used to work in fast food
and so like I'm just like super high guy and I hook everybody up.
Bradamn exactly, dude, Fight for the people, Fight for the people.
Extra pinch of meat, Let's see. Uh here we go. Hey,
y'all, I'm helping with catering for the celebration tonight, and I need to
figure out where to drop this cake off. I've been trying for hours.
It's very heavy. Maybe it's her wedding or something. I don't know,
but it's like four tiers and I don't know how long I can carry it,
So I'm going to pop the box open. Maybe there's a note or
something on the cake that'll tell me where I need to be. Happy anniversary,
Mike, nine days as DFW Radio Personality of the Year, Love Mike,
Yes, go finns Okay, it's a weird cake. Who ordered this?
All right? Look? I did not you sent yourself a wedding cake?
It says, go Finn order a custom nine day anniversary cake for my
Dallas Observer Award. It's not that big of a deal to me, all
right, okay? Or is it in your cea foam and orange wedding cake?
Just show up tonight. Hey, y'all, I just wanted to take
my catering job to let you know that I'm so happy for all of you,
very proud of all of you. Congratulations on your one year anniversary,

other shoe just to hit the floor on fire. Immediate feedback for Danny,
so sweet, Hey, Danny, to be fair, the bonus was only
fifty dollars. Wasn't lying about the bonus. I just felt like I could
turn down fifty dollars. Yeah, okay, guys, I appreciate that immediate
feedback. But who's giving out fifty dollars bonuses? I think that's just a
manager like dude, I'll give you fifty bucks if you come in. Yeah,
okay, Yeah. Let's go live to the place of the event tonight,
The Echo Lounge Show with Ben Skin, Christina and Steve. Hello.
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello guys. Good agree we are. This

detoxing getting ready for tonight's show. It's awesome, Uh, but to have

Echo Lounge. They've got you know, screens all over the place, including
a huge one behind the stage, and they're just running video of you know,

guys right now, getting this bad boy set up. There's not a lot
of reason to be here just yet. I mean, it is free if
you get here before six, but the party really gets going at that time.
Yeah, I think asking someone to pull twelve hours there is probably a
bit mine. I had to talk my mom out of that Gator was coming.
She goes out, I'd be there at ten is in Melcie, Christina,
And I was like, well, hold on, Gator, we because
Gator coming and with her pimento cheese table off to the side, hand feed
everyone. She's not bringing her Promento cheese because she doesn't want to be called
out by Soroy. But she will be here partying with a It's gonna be
an incredible because I cringe when she shows a Pimento cracker in my mouth.
I'll like win saying like, no, it's good. Your yelp review of
her sandwiches was really unfair too. I apologize, I apologize. Hey.
In the Dallas Morning News article about Freakniversary, did they mention that Soroy won
Host of the Year in the Observers They're not allowed to think, so.
