You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak all right,
six thirty six, A lot of state champions Texan and in honor of
Danny's state championship that he won left handed state champion. I don't know if
they're all real. There's a lot of jokes. Okay, is there high
school fishing in Texas? I don't know high school fishing? Yeah, I
bet there is. I'm sure there is somewhere. We have at least three
people making the Master Baier joke. Oh yeah, well the beast Master's Classics
coming to Fort Worth this year, Mike, you know who you could call
it would know definitively is Julie. Yes, she's a fish expert. Yes,
the fishing show. Of course, she can tell you what kind of
bait do you use? I also have I've been in contact with the guy
who's caught a couple of record He's from fourth caught a couple of record bass
and I was thinking about having him having him on sometime just to how do
you find the biggest a fisherman? That's what it would be, ask a
professional fisherman. I bet those guys on that weekend car show would know a
little long Dong silver and mister Bill whoever they are? You mean Kurt Chase
and big Big Bulge Bo, that's the one. Do you think they know
fisherman? Yeah, they like cars. Sure. This guy won the ninety
eight Texas for a baseball state championship. Chris Young was our starting pitcher,
Oh wow, and hit for himself when he pitched, sohed four day.
So this guy got dhed for by Chris Young, who hit for himself,
who was the pitcher, and he was a designated fielder. That's crazy.
That's amazing. Are you kidding? That's a beauty. He come in and
run for Chris Young to what he get on base? What a strike zone
that would be. This guy was a Lewisville Fighting Farmer football ninety six state
champ and he sent a picture first and only high school football team on a
Cereal box. And there's a team Cheerio's picture of the Lewisville Fight and Farmers
on Cereal. You wanna hear my bass story real quick? Sure? So
it starts sad, but then it's kind of sad and funny. I'm not
much of a fisherman. I don't really like fishing sorry, but my dad
had cancer, right, and he was about to pass away, and he
knew it, and we didn't. He didn't really tell us, you know,
but he knew this was probably his last trip with us. So he
took his boys fishing in Lake Okachobe and it was just nice and peaceful,
you know, and we knew it he was sick. We didn't know it
was anywhere near that bad. He was passed away two or three months later.
Anyway, we went fishing, couldn't get a bite. It was just
us and there was a guide. You know, We're out there just talking,
having a pleasant time, peaceful morning in Lake Okachobe, Central Florida.
We went out hours, hours on end, nothing, no bites, no
bites. And then finally I get a bite right, and I yank the
thing right. I don't set the hook, and the guy's yelling. We're
like, my god, we gotta bite, we gotta bring this thing in.
Whatever I do, it's not right. And the bass is gone.
Three seconds later, my brother, who polls right to the left of mine,
same idiot bass, gets on his He does everything properly and pulls in
this glorious, very large bass and he still has it. He took it
to a taxidermis. He has it mounted on his wall. And then obviously
our dad passed away a few months later, and it's just symbolic of our
lives, of my failures and my close calls and his ultimate success and achievement,
just brought together in one magical morning with our dad. And he's still
in his office, has this gorgeous bass. So we, you know,
sort of obviously think of our dad when we see of course, and I
have nothing. How were you when this happened? Twenty? Wow? Yeah,
because I died when I was still twenty when my dad passed away.
You should just have like an empty hook in a picture frame, yeah,
or a little plaque yeah, or a full plaque with a little gold thing,
an empty gold plate on it. Just a hook, no ingravement and
a hook, yeah, a single hook just says fishing, fishing, fishing,
and the date, because he has the date that he caught. It's
awesome. I'm gonna get that for you, please don't. I don't want
any crap on the walls. Birthday coming up. Yeah, we'll go ahead
and handle that up up the down that Danny. It's good's getting that fishing
empty fishing plaque. I appreciate that'd be very sweet. Take a picture of
tweet cash cash like this. Let's see yours cash. This guy won one
hundred and fourteen contestant N sixty four GoldenEye tournament for one thousand dollars. Incredible.
Wow, how about that. That was a tough game too. Somebody
says Jacksborough has a fishing team, so I guess there are. Okay,
high schools do have bass fishing teams. There you go. Cool, absolutely
high school fishing. My kids. I was a middle school fishing team as
well. There you go, all of our state champions chiming in on this
very special day, on the very special leap day before we get into leap
day stuff real quick. Last night or Tuesday night, was the season finale
of the hit TV show of the Floor, the two hour finale, which
is about an hour when you fast forward through everything brunch, fast forward through
all the fluff, so many commercials, and so much teasing. Yes,
I officially celebrated the last moments of my life that I ever watched The Floor
yesterday. Oh you're not gonna be back there. No, it's not even
that. It's not good. It is good. It's not good, and
I'm done with it. We did it. I watched the first f and
season. I'm never gonna watch the floor again. I think because this was
the first season, I think it's pretty clear what your strategy should always be.
Hide hide, yeah the girl that won two hundred and fifty K.
Hold on to your expert topic and never vary from that. Ever, going
for the twenty grand of the Daily Winter or whatever that is, Yes,
stop doing that. No, I thought of this too. My category would
be international car racing. Oh yeah, pick something that no one out there
will avoid. You like to play? Yes, you just stand there and
wait for a fifty to fifty at the very damn end, because if they
challenge you, you get to fight your for your topic, right yeah?
Yeah. Or we all do powerboat racing, okay, powerboats nineteen eighties power
boats and spend six months just studying your buns off on your subject. No
one picks you. You wait, you're at the end. You have a
fifty to fifty shot at a quarter million dollars. Here are the very I
have a lot of questions about this show, though, because when the have
these areas of expertise and you it's takes place over a two month span on
actual TV. It probably took a week to film all this or less.
They're all wearing the same clothes and Rob Low changes clothes, so they must
have mandated that they wear the same out. Yeah, so it's easy ever
tell who they are. And that's fine. That makes sense. Now.
They had mentioned studying, but there was a girl. If I knew exactly
where it was, I would have pulled it and taken a time to time.
But there was a girl, the girl who ended up on the country
music category, and like episode two or three, that was funny. In
episode two or three, she specifically once she got in that spots it wasn't
her category, she was like, Oh, I don't like this. I
don't know anything about country music. And then when it was her turn to
compete in the finals, she was like, yeah, man, I feel
pretty confident about country music. And I was like, like, six episodes
you said you knew nothing about it. So are they allowed to study?
There were a few mentions throughout the season that they had been studying up you
shouldn't be allowed to study? Yeah you should. Yeah, I don't know
that one. That's a good one because the girl who had International food said
she's had it for a long time. She's sitting there. I just looked
it up, so it says us a quote. I was a contestant.
It was five days of filming, with two episodes a day for most of
it. Day one was just one episode, Day three was three. So
yeah, you go back to the hotel, they're definitely going to sequester you
like you're on a damn jury. You have your phone in your laptop,
and if you're sitting on International foods, yes, you spend all night looking
at lists of the most common or popular famous international foods, which is odd.
But yeah, I think, what unless they restrict your internet access for
some real maybe they could do that. Maybe I'll get Gene on the show,
one of the guys. I don't know. I have questions about people
who attend game shows too. I'm always fascinated by how that went, and
that's partially because we've been following Jared Watson of DFW, who's in the Jeopardy
Tournament of Champions. I've attended a game show. You never have. I
attended double their family doubled there with Mark Summers. Yes, hell, yes,
a universal in Florida, Orlando. Yeah, and you're there partying or
having fun at Universal and you're like, wow, double there, that's awesome,
and they just invite people in. You know, it's free and they
just want people to be in there and clap. And it just took for
ever. I remember it was so long of just sitting there as they moved
the giant nose with goosnot in it off the set. You know. I
think the only show that I would be waiting I would wait for to see
like that would be Saturday Night Live because it is live. Yeah. Because
like even like when I went to New York, Steve's sister was gonna hook
me up Steve Shackford on the Ben and Skin Show. His sister writes for
John Oliver, and he was going to try to get me in, you
know, but it was just like, can you be here from nine am
to two pm? Or no, it's just different hours. I don't know
if that's what their specific hours were, but it was very much like,
you know what, I would still love to do that. I think I
applied for all that stuff. I was trying to get an SNL though.
Yeah. Whatever, But back to the four Real Quick Yeah season two,
I'm gonna give it a shot based on two things. Number One, I
think the gameplay will be better because people are familiar with it, they watched
it and kind of understand how to play it better. And number two,
they might need to make a few tweaks. There's no reason have a two
hour finale. That was too much. It was too much to take in,
and they've got to They've got to rig it. I'm sorry. How
So, just like everything else in the world, it's wrestling, you've got
to you've got to not predeterminate, but they've got to make choices. The
randomizer cannot be random, if in fact it even is random. Because the
finale, the final game from Tuesday night was the biggest effing confusing letdown.
Like I spent nine weeks watching this damn thing, and that's the finale.
The guy that made the bonehead decision he had. He could have chosen a
national foods which you got a chance, or fashion icons against a young woman
who clearly has her look together, that looks like she's gonna know at minimum
twice as much as you about fashion. She ended up knowing a lot more
than him about fashion. The guy gets up there and passes on every every
picture of a fashion icon. He didn't get sand Off, he couldn't get
Cindy Crawford. Idiot. I don't want to watch a finale where the dude's
up there going uh pass, uh pass. And that's how it ended.
And it's just okay, make the and make the finale. Give the finale
some juice, make it longer. I don't know. Yeah, random categories
or what you do is get the last few people up, reset the board
to its original state, and randomize the category, and then you have eighty
one different categories. They will fix you. Go the best of three on
that, because look, the producers of that show. The producers of that
show are looking at that knowing that that finale failed. She wasn't even jumping
around either. She was just standing there too. She didn't have to answer,
but like one question, well, most of the people who won didn't
have to even do that much. You just kind of sit back and watch
the other person fail, and then they've got to be able to look.
Okay, Pink Panther, it was your turn. Stop staring off into space.
Oh yeah, he got yeah that the interviews. I'm gonna kick that
dude's ass and they get up there and go pass past. Interviews have to
be post. I don't know, man, I I just did there watching
the thing. There's I have a lot of questions and a lot of fluff.
They get. Gotta get rid of unnecessary things, you know. And
if you want to do more people than eighty one and and just wipe out
that fluff, that's fine. Going to buy a new floor heaven. But
they were just trying to get to March. Expensive they were. Have you
looked into flooring recently? Incredible? Who forget about it? Rob is great
though, He's perfect for that, for that role. What's up? Let's
not do an intro here. It's Leap Day. Leap Day is one of
the most unique years days of the year. Yeah, Kevin, if you're
one hundred years old, you're really twenty five today. Huh. There's a
lady named Edna, he's twenty five today? What I'm serious? How about

Mike Rner's daughter's birthday. Yeah, Jordan's a leap your baby? I love
so jealous of people who have this. It's the one unique birthday, the
single one. And I have some friends of mine who had a babby a
few years ago and they induced on the twenty eighth just to make sure they
wouldn't have the baby on the twenty ninth. I'm like you, screen,

chance to have the one magical birthday. You can get the gift, the
most special gift you can give to a baby. You gotta shoot for that

Yeah? I saw that wonderful movie Stagneti in the Gang. Yeah, wonderful
movie. I didn't know this. There's a character right named Frederick, who
it seems was born on February twenty ninth, right, and they want he
got in trouble and they put him in jail, and he had to stay
in jail until his twenty first birthday, but they hated him so much he
had to stay in there for half at more than half a century. And
then Carmen Louvana showed up and made a conjugal visit. No, yes,
what a loophole like if it's your mortal enemy, you're in jail to your
twenty first birthday. And then they pulled that technicality of not until you're like
seventy years old. Damn pirates, I old man. Don't let them in
your house. Hardly any rules on pirates. You don't let them in your
house. Don't let pirates into your house now? Is that part of your
live spot? Yes, I'm sure. Yeah, Doctor Gold, Yeah,

fans two dollars and twenty nine cent pazukies. You ever had a pazuki?
No magical described the pazuki, well, pizza cookie. Yeah, I don't.
I've never had a Bej's. There's a place in Arizona that claims to
have invented the pazuki. Yes, it's a cookie in a pizza pan,
hot fresh baked cookie, sure, hot ice cream on top, whipped cream
on that, a little chocolate, drizzled cherry whatever. Then they melt some
cheese and pepperoni. No, no, that's the separation from pizzas is clear.
But yeah, then you slice it. Oh my god, you're seeing
hot fresh cookie with ice cream? What's What's nothing like? There? And
Hooters Hoot Club rewards. Loyalty members get a two dollars nine cent app How

begins and ends with the ital choo is one of the greatest. I love
God, what a magical food. How's no one? How's that not spread?

free piece of fish. And then you have this this tray with all your

one more pieces on the dude, have it. They'll probably just do that
if you ask. Anyway, a regular day at my main intersection at Jim
Miller in thirty, which is, by the way, a fast food emporium.
If you're interested, we have dueling fast food fish establishments because across the
street from one another, you have a long John Silvers, and right across
Jim Miller, Captain D. Captain is there. The Captain is open and
in and ready for business. That Jim Miller in thirty and has been for
a while. Can't say I've ever seen anybody in the drive through really Captain
D's well change that. You imagine the manager fist on the counter at Long
John Silver's the day Captain D sailed into town. So and then the guy
at Captain D's is like, damn it, they're giving away a free piece
of fish taco. Taco Bell gives you a two twenty nine crunch rap only
on the app though, Is that a good price you'll get? Honestly?
These days, Smoothie King twenty nine percent off of twenty out smoothie or larger

restaurant. I know. It's like weird com tell you to go to Sinabon.
Uh, yesterday we celebrated a leap day by eating buttery pancakes and throwing
them at people. You're gonna say something else, Yeah he did. Danny
was flinging pancakes at people yesterday, like he was in the New Day.
Brody, you caught your pancake, you did, skin dropped his Jay didn't
see that before the draft, quick glove hand catch of the pancake. But
I didn't know what it was. And while pancake's flying at you and your
friend throws it, you don't know what it is. There's a moment of
confusion. Do I want to catch this? But you know instinctively you just
catch it, and sure as hell it was a pancake, a cold pancake
he threw at me. Is that a person is that warned you? I
said, here, Mikey, I got this. I got this. It
was halfway the here, terrifying. As I was looking at the TV behind
your head, Mike, they were discussing the Jerry Jones story and they're calling
it a developing story. So I don't know if they've got cameras on the
scene as Jerry is gonna have to take a DNA test and we'll tell you
more about that after Mike's live spot next on ninety seven. Won the Freak
