WEBVTT

1
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:25.879
Here's a milestone day here at ninety
seven won the freak. Not only did

2
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.240
the MAVs win, but we now
celebrate Show one hundred of the new Downbeats

3
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:42.520
didn't take long? Yeah, just
one shows. Who knew it take about

4
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.399
five months to get there. It's
a shame Mikey's not here to enjoy it.

5
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:54.159
We think he's doing right now,
sleeping or still going, getting ready

6
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:59.200
to go to bed. Yeah,
because Mikey is in New Orleans, KA,

7
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.920
grabbing some food, his mouth drunkingly
about food, hanging out of his

8
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.959
mouthful of bit well happy one hundred
keV Oh. Yeah. I've been following

9
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:21.560
Mikey and Christina's adventures via her Instagram
stories. I think they found themselves at

10
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:29.280
a Bourbon Street jazz jazz bar last
night. You gotta do that, which

11
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.280
there's you know, a million of
those you just kind of pop in and

12
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.400
yeah, I believe in Normans once. It was awesome, but yeah,

13
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.680
it was great. I just like
I barely remember it though. There's a

14
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.719
lot of drinking going on, but
it was good times. Yeah, the

15
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:52.879
first handful of times that I went
there, it was pretty pretty much based

16
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.920
on how much can we consume in
liquid? Form as much as possible.

17
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:04.920
But once you got to get past
that and realize what a incredibly diverse and

18
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:09.759
wonderful and historical city it is,
that stuff takes, you know, a

19
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.159
back seat for sure, when you
realize that, oh my god, pretty

20
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.439
much every restaurant in this city is
insanely good. Yeah. That's where I

21
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.919
think you would get older, baby. Well maybe not everyone's like this,

22
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.000
but you get a little bit older, you start caring a little more about

23
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:28.960
good food, putting a premium on
that maybe, yeah, and more than

24
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.639
for me at least, getting just
absolutely tanked up. And don't get me

25
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:38.479
wrong, I'll party if you need
me to party, but I'd much rather

26
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.879
just go to a nice restaurant and
put delicious food in my belly or find,

27
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.639
you know, the little crappy hole
in the wall spots that are delicious

28
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.840
and not necessarily upscale. Yeah.
No, Yeah, when I said premium,

29
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.240
I guess I didn't mean luxury,
just the good places. You know.

30
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.919
There's a spot I guess gosh,
twenty years ago, it wasn't very

31
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:07.039
well known and it was probably somewhat
dangerous to go there. Uh, it's

32
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:14.719
a place called Willie May's Scotch house
and it's in tre Mae and known worldwide

33
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.960
now for their fried chicken. It's
a soul food spot. They have other

34
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.960
stuff too, but it was one
of those places that ended up on a

35
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:29.280
Food Network show or you know,
one of those Triple D type type things,

36
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.479
and the popularity gained and the next
thing you knew there you would go

37
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:40.240
there and it was I mean it's
in the heart of Tremae and it's a

38
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.800
you would walk up and there after
that show premiered, there was just a

39
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:53.080
line of wealthy white people standing around
to go in and get chicken. Gee.

40
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.639
I can't wait to go get my
food. Yeah, and you have

41
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.879
to be careful when you order because
you kind of order for the table,

42
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.599
not for yourself, because if you're
looking, okay, yeah, I'll have

43
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:15.479
the fried chicken and the the butter
beans and how about some okra. The

44
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:23.160
plate of butter beans alone is enough
to feed four people. It's so much

45
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.519
food. Well, I mean that's
I mean, that's for set style of

46
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.879
food and you go ahead and get
that and get it like basically for the

47
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.560
table. But you never know that. Well you should know that at places

48
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.759
like that, Yeah, you should
know that. But I think sometimes it's

49
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:42.959
how restaurants get you. They get
people. It's that was the food great,

50
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.360
It's incredible. Yeah, and even
after you know, because a lot

51
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:53.920
of times when a spotlight gets yeah, shown shined shown on onto a spot

52
00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:00.000
like that, the quality can kind
of I don't know, is that because

53
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.160
you need to make more of it. Yeah, you get busier and you

54
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:11.120
cut corners and rush stuff and you
have to make it in larger amounts and

55
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.240
you kind of lose the ability to
control the recipe, I believe, and

56
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:21.439
you're making stuff in like much bigger
pots and pans. Yeah, it's it's

57
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:26.240
still the same it was as Yeah, I've been as recently as I've gone,

58
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.040
which has been a while, probably
like four or five years, four

59
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.240
years. It's it's still outstanding and
we're and worth the walk. It's a

60
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:38.519
good long walk from the French Quarter. But it's so delicious. I tend

61
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.800
to hesitate when I see a lot
of Caucasian people going into a fried chicken

62
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:47.839
spike. That's why I asked,
well, I didn't tell you guys this

63
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.920
story, but the week that I
was off, did I tell the story

64
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:59.439
about it having a hankering for Thanksgiving
food and made the track down to Leadbetter

65
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.839
and forty five to go to I
don't remember this, but I remember and

66
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:09.240
I remember everything. Sweet Georgia Brown's. I don't remember this. Are you

67
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:16.199
familiar? Been there? Yeah?
Damn my god. So for Thanksgiving we

68
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.560
did Italian Thanksgiving, which I love
to do every couple of years, and

69
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.720
I don't know, for whatever reason, on that Friday, I was like,

70
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.600
man, I need some Thanksgiving kind
of food. So I had a

71
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:33.399
hankering for some fried chicken and I
saw I was looking up soul food restaurants

72
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.560
in my neighborhood, which there's a
few, but then, uh, Sweet

73
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.720
George, it's Sweet Georgia Brown's right. Yeah, yeah, Sweet Georgia Browns

74
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.800
popped up on the maps, like, oh my god, this nip place

75
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:48.279
is legendary. It's in South Dallas
oak Cliffe type area, and I've never

76
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.240
been there. I've always wanted to
go. I'm by myself, and I

77
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:56.079
just pop into the car, hit
the maps. It's only like fifteen to

78
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.920
twenty minutes from my house because it's
all highway, you know, thirty four.

79
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.879
Let better go west, and it's
right there. I'd never been and

80
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:13.040
I roll up and it's were you
blasting country music in your car when you

81
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.079
rolled up. No, I think
I had the windows down with some Otis

82
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.879
redding, just to be on the
safe side, which would be normal anyway.

83
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:26.040
But I roll up and I am
the only white dude within probably a

84
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.600
mile and a half radius. Yes, but it was awesome. And I

85
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.319
love soul food spots. Every time
I go to Memphis. There's this one

86
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:38.000
joint over by Gracelam that I have
to hit that's so delicious. But it's

87
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:42.240
that type of Now Willie May's in
New Orleans, when I was talking about

88
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.279
a minute ago, that's sitting down
menu. They come and, you know,

89
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:48.720
take your order. This is an
old school soul food spot, Sweet

90
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:55.319
Georgia Brown's where it's kind of like
almost like a cafeteria serving where you go

91
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:59.680
up you you pretty much tell them
what meat you want. They got barbecue

92
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.240
as well, like ribs and brisket, but their main thing, I think

93
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.639
is probably fried chicken. And that's
what I wanted. I wanted fried chicken.

94
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.879
So I get the fried chicken and
then you go down the thing and

95
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.399
you get your three sides and they
throw a corn bread in there. And

96
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.720
I'm telling you, my meal was
like fourteen Bucks, and it was served

97
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.959
in two of those large styrofoam containers
half clothes, yeah, have a tape,

98
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:31.120
and one of them is just the
chicken. The other is just the

99
00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:37.559
sides. And I went home and
every you know when you have those meals

100
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.120
where you take a bite and you
just go damn. It was that,

101
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:48.720
like every bite of everything. I
got. Greens they don't have ocra anymore,

102
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.000
and have it for years. They
just haven't changed the menu since the

103
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.519
fifties, I don't believe, but
greens, and some I got mashed potatoes

104
00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:03.799
with brown gravy and one other thing
like oh the beans of rice, and

105
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:11.399
dude, incredible, absolutely incredible.
And the servers that are working there are

106
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.279
probably it looked like a bunch of
like mostly like dudes my age that have

107
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.039
probably worked there for thirty years,
and then some some youngins that are like

108
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.600
the up and coming. Yeah uh
forced to be so yeah, yeah that's

109
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.960
probably gonna take yeah, forced to
be there, but dude, it was

110
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:31.000
so good. I couldn't wait to
get home. And it was everything that

111
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.240
everyone that had described it to me
had delivered incredible, and it was it

112
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.679
was Uh. I think I worked
on that for like two or three days.

113
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.720
I could not could not finish it. Hidden gyms out that way.

114
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.840
I don't think people realize. Yep, a lot of food places catfish.

115
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.159
Oh, you can find a lot
best catfish I ever had. You remember

116
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:54.399
David Robinson from over at the Old
Station, right, him and Kevin Newham

117
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.799
we had to show uh in evenings
called the hot spot that I think ran

118
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.960
for a couple of years in the
early two thousands over at the Ticket And

119
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.200
it was two lifelong friends, brothers
that had known each other for a long

120
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.799
time. And David Robinson he was
always I think he was from South Dallas

121
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.840
and he brought up this catfish one
time to work, and I'm telling you,

122
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.919
it was the best damn catfish I've
ever had in my entire life.

123
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.519
And I was like, where is
this from. He's like, oh,

124
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.320
man, it's from a gas station
in the hood. Like what He's like,

125
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.279
yeah, man, And now it's
like pretty much half the restaurants I

126
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:35.720
eat at or attached to gas stations. Yeah, they're usually excellent. Yeah,

127
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.240
shout out Taco's Labynketta on Gaston and
Grand. But yeah, it was

128
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.559
a wonderful experience and I got my
Thanksgiving, Soul Food fixed and all was

129
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.360
right in the world from Sweet Georgia
Brown. Okay, so hold on,

130
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.679
you told me you wanted you had
an observation somethm driving to work for a

131
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.360
second, most down the food thing
for a minute. Please, you're gonna

132
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.000
get too. At eight thirty people
like talking about Jason Garrett doing Oh yeah,

133
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.399
it's funny. I've got this from
from Soul Food to what sounds like

134
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.440
the widest restaurant pretty much so Jason
Garrett. I I saw this yesterday,

135
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.240
but I didn't read the article.
I just saw the headline. But he

136
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:16.759
is partnered up with Babe Laufenburg and
a Highland Park restaurant tour named Julian Barsatti.

137
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.399
I've heard that name for years.
Apparently he's had a stronghold on Italian

138
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:30.519
cuisine in the neighborhood. He also
owns Barsatti's Nana or Nona Nona, which

139
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.399
is where our buddy Biel worked.
Yeah, that's right, and Faccini.

140
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.399
So yeah, this guy's known as
excellent. Yeah, I want to go

141
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.960
there about. I saw Biel recently
and he's a longtime Dallas server, like

142
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:46.480
probably the best server in Dallas,
and he I need to go there anyway,

143
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.120
So they're opening up a new joint. It's called Cafe Luca. It's

144
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:56.440
named after Babelfenberg's son Luke, who
passed away in twenty nineteen from a rare

145
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.600
form of blood cancer. It's expected
to open next door to Barsatti's, which

146
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:09.799
is the Italian restaurant on Oaklawn that
was formerly known as Carbones, and the

147
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:15.480
restaurant will move into the former TJ
seafood spot, which closed just a couple

148
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:20.919
months ago. But it looks like
they're going to open an Italian cafe that

149
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.960
would serve breakfast, lunch, cocktails, and dinner. Also likely sell Italian

150
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:31.639
specialties to go, like housemade ricotta
and meatballs. Kevin Jason Garrett is a

151
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:37.080
restaurant tour Yep. Now did you
see his quote here? No, on's

152
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.200
it gat. One of Babe's things
is let's go get coffee. It's not

153
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:46.960
about the coffee, It's about the
experience. But Garrett admits it's also about

154
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:52.960
the coffee. We'll have the best
coffee in Dallas. I don't doubt it.

155
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.200
I mean, hey, dude,
there's nothing better than Italian coffee.

156
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.919
It's the bat the absolute best.
I will often splurge on a on a

157
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.399
fifteen dollars ten of lily that'll get
you about three pots or Illy my bad.

158
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.639
A pretty good deal for Julian Barsatti
too. To just take money from

159
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.480
uh Garrett and baby, it's cool
if they maybe after Luke, Yep,

160
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.440
very cool. It's also cool like
for a restaurant tour to you know,

161
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.480
you obviously typically don't want to spend
your own money. You want to bring

162
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.240
in investors. Yeah, but to
have investors with the kind of longtime Dallas

163
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.799
profile that those two names you know, carry with them absolutely. Yeah.

164
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.639
You know, Jason Garrett, maybe
we do this too much. I know

165
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.200
someone who is like who knows him
pretty well, and they he was like,

166
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.360
yeah, you guys got it all
wrong on him. I was like,

167
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.200
I know, but he doesn't do
anything to make any of us change

168
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.240
our mind. But the whole time
he was like, you guys, he's

169
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:07.759
he's like very like cultured, which
is you know, and he's like he

170
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.759
will party sometimes not I'll something guy's
throwing a rager. I've heard the same

171
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:16.320
thing, and it's like we did. But he because probably because of that

172
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:22.159
job, had to be a shell
of him his actual self and we're kind

173
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:28.919
of probably doing that to McCarthy a
little bit too. Although I don't think

174
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.440
any of the things that have been
said about I don't think many of the

175
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.320
things have been said about Mike McCarthy
are unfair. I do think a lot

176
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.919
of these things are true, and
I think he should get credit for all

177
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.639
the good stuff. I think there
are things that are like one hundred true.

178
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.159
Yeah, But like there are some
people who will say, he's not

179
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:50.600
lazy, He's not that that's crazy. He's not some idiot and he doesn't

180
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.679
know what he's doing. He's never
been that. Dude. He was on

181
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.519
the field two and a half days
after having his appendix taken out. Now,

182
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.840
is he unaccountable after lost? This
is absolutely he is. But he

183
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.639
also deserves a lot of credit for
what the offense is doing right now.

184
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.200
Would you not agree? No,
No, he totally does. Absolutely,

185
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.519
And I mean go look at the
Chargers. They can't even score a touchdown.

186
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.960
Yeah with Kellen right now now,
the quarterbacks broke his fingers out for

187
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:26.879
the year, the very not hot
justin Herbert, Yeah, I answer it

188
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:28.240
at seven. That's kind of related
to this because guy was for the Bills

189
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.399
this week. Is that some Cowboys
type people yesterday, you know, followed

190
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.240
us and they're like, I got
no idea, man, coin flip,

191
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:39.879
I got no idea. I don't
I don't know if I feel good about

192
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:41.799
it or not. I read this
thing on the Bills coach right now.

193
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:48.320
That kind of took off. Oh
my dude, the Bills are going through

194
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.960
more stuff than I ever knew.
And this coach had his Oh I don't

195
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.919
know, his character is assassinated.
It's an article when it's written by a

196
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.679
guy who's pretty good as a reporter, it hasn't been for a long time.

197
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.799
And he's the guy who wrote the
famous Mike McCarthy massage story. Okay

198
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:10.720
that McCarthy denies, But wouldn't you
wouldn't you deny that you were to reset

199
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.080
the details of the McCarthy massage story. I'll do it at seven, Okay,

200
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.960
I'll do it. It's a part
of this whole thing, the Cowboys.

201
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.879
You're playing a team on Sunday who
is not only a contender, but

202
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.720
also whose head coach might not be
there Sunday. He might not make it

203
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:30.200
through the week. I pulled a
couple of pieces of audio that you can

204
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:36.720
definitely use to kind of elevate the
story a little bit. But yeah,

205
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.679
Sean McDermott, I mean, is
he in a little bit of hot water?

206
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.120
If you ask his teammates, maybe
not. His teammates will say no,

207
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.000
that article is damning. Is so
bad. I mean, yeah,

208
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.279
we'll talk about it in a little
less than an hour, but yeah,

209
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:57.080
it's that was pretty fascinating to see
that. I'd seen a little bit of

210
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.720
something about it because some stuff kind
of came trickling down over the weekend and

211
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:11.319
I think SNL yeah, Colin j
just but yeah, seven o'clock for Sports

212
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.160
at seven will hit that obviously.
MAVs here in a little bit at six

213
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.559
point thirty. Humongo, Hu mungo, big boy, big pants win last

214
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.680
night? Bro, Yeah, my
god, second on a back to back.

215
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:29.160
No, Kyrie know a lot of
people, you know that team is

216
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:34.640
pretty dang decimated by injuries, facing
arguably the hottest team in basketball with arguably

217
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:40.400
the right now top three player in
basketball and Lebron that's what is he forty?

218
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.400
Now? My god, that man
is forty. It's ridiculous. He's

219
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:48.079
insane. And for them to win
that game incredible, And we'll talk about

220
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:56.960
sweet sex them too real quick.
So I drive to work every day from

221
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:04.559
East Dallas, and you got on
the Johnson typically no, typically the ways

222
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:10.000
will tell me thirty to seventy five
Central Expressway north and then six thirty five

223
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:15.079
up here to the tollway, and
there is when and look, I'm telling

224
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.440
you this has been here every day
this weekend for all I know. It

225
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:18.920
was sitting there over the weekend as
well. So if any of you guys

226
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.160
are out on the roads at all, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

227
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:30.119
When you hit the six thirty five
exchange to go west, after you're

228
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:36.519
coming up north, going north on
seventy five, there's a big little overpass

229
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:41.720
that curves to the left and right
when traffic starts to merge with the other

230
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.880
access road that's going west before you
get on six thirty five proper, think

231
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:52.920
of like a triangular, little little
island, a little median that's right there,

232
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.920
that's not raised. It's flat like
the rest of the highway, but

233
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.759
it's it's you know, lined off
with paint to kind of separate the two

234
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:06.319
lanes that are merging together, and
sitting there is a big ass white suv

235
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.440
that's just right there. We're both
like right on the inside this triangle that's

236
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:18.599
just been sitting there, and it
has like orange stickers on it from the

237
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:23.079
warnings that cops are putting on this
car to let the owner of it know

238
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:29.519
it needs to be moved or it's
otherwise going to be towed. Why is

239
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.680
that thing still sitting there after at
least three days? For all I know,

240
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:38.400
it could have been there Friday night
until this morning. Yeah, that's

241
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:45.000
that usually gets handled within twenty four
hours. In my neighborhood, they'll put

242
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.319
a damn ticket on your car for
parking against the flow of traffic in front

243
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:55.440
of somebody's house. Jeez. Yeah, that sucks. Okay, so across

244
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:57.599
the street from me, it's not
safe. That car is not in a

245
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:03.240
safe spot to be sitting there,
and it's and people are hauling buns.

246
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.240
Yeah, there merging right there,
you know, especially in the morning in

247
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.839
traffic when it's before the rush hour
hits, and you got it's pretty open,

248
00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:14.119
but there's a little bit of traffic
and yeah, you find yourself doing

249
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.799
nighty before you even realize it.
And that thing's just sitting there, just

250
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:21.400
waiting to get smashed. I guess
they'll move it when a family of four

251
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:26.000
plows into its hard to get a
tow truck in that spot. Dude,

252
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.720
you guys do it overnight. You
do it overnight, You cone off a

253
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.759
lane and go for it. But
yeah, that thing, and it's not

254
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.240
like they don't know what's there.
They've stuck big ass orange stickers on it

255
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:40.680
to tell they owner of it to
move it. The owner ain't coming to

256
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:44.759
pick up that car. It's not
like it had a flat and it's not

257
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.960
like a bad car. It's you
know, looks like an early two thousands

258
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.799
white I don't know Ford or Chevy
or something like that, but it looks

259
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.480
like a car that somebody would want. But I don't think anybody's coming back

260
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.480
for that. So I don't talk
to my neighbors. I don't just how

261
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.160
long have you been there? Pretty
introverted, Betty? A little over here.

262
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:10.519
So but there is a basically my
house on a street album on a

263
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:15.920
very quiet street, drawing in richardson
a very quiet street. So here's my

264
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.359
house right here. Okay, so
listen, I got a little driveway.

265
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.319
But across the street from my house
there's an old lady who lives in a

266
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.000
house. You're going to say shoe. There's the ad that lives in a

267
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.839
well the house is shaped like a
shoe. That is one of the dumb

268
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.119
ones of all time, along with
three men in a tub. There once

269
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:38.519
is an old lady who lived in
a shoe. Why did she live in

270
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:45.079
a shoe? I'm tired, and
she was so tired. She got so

271
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.559
many kids. She didn't know what
to do. Do. Well, stop

272
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:57.079
getting railed, old woman. What's
the rest of that line? Old lady

273
00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:03.240
in a shoe? Poem? Along
came a spider and so different one.

274
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.240
I think it's one of the ones
that we know. There was an old

275
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.599
woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't

276
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.759
know what to do. She gave
them some broth without any bread, and

277
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:25.440
whipped them all soundly and put them
to bed. Jesus, I'm having kids

278
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:30.920
just so I have someone to beat, Good Lord. Not only that is

279
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:36.480
a shocking. Not only are we
living off broth and bread, you're beating

280
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.440
the crap out of us before we
go to sleep every night. And we

281
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:44.400
live in a damn shoe. And
you're an old lady, Okay, the

282
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:47.039
life of these children? You sure
you didn't look up an Andrew Dice Clay

283
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.720
version. No, I would have
been able to tell the difference. One

284
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:56.519
this muffet setting a tough eating the
curds and wait, all right, so

285
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:03.160
yous from you, cross from me? And then the house next to her

286
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.559
is a guy that just lives there, and I see him. It's not

287
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.960
a woman that lives sits on a
tough end. Yeah it's not. And

288
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:17.960
it's not three guys who hang out
in the tub a lot. Just one

289
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.920
guy. And he parks in my
neighborhood. He parks his car in his

290
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:25.079
driveway because he's alone, right,
I believe I've only seen one car there.

291
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:29.759
And then the old lady she parks
her car and her driveway because she

292
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.400
lives alone, right, only seeing
her there. And then for me and

293
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.160
rocks with a you know, we
have a one car garage, but we

294
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.720
need that garage for storage. So
one car in the driveway, one car

295
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.279
on the street, all right,
not a big deal. About a month

296
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.400
ago, and I thought about saying
something, and I've just decided not to

297
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:53.000
because I'm like, I don't want
him do it. And then I told

298
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:56.599
myself, I'll wait and if it's
still there in twenty twenty four, I'll

299
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.160
make the call. A car has
been sitting there, was parked and dropped

300
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:06.000
off and I don't know, and
it's in front of this guy's house,

301
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.440
but but it's like on the corner
of his lawn, Like you wouldn't think

302
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.839
that car is definitely at this guy's
house. And it is just set there.

303
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:15.640
And it's to the point where I
back out of my driveway if I

304
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.920
backed out straight or wasn't paying attention
one day, I just go right into

305
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:25.039
it. You know, it's just
kind of in the way. But it's

306
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.680
clear that it's not this guy's and
it's clear that it's not the old lady's

307
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:33.799
because it's in between them. And
then I started thinking, and I haven't

308
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.880
had this thought until like yesterday.
I was like, what if someone like

309
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:45.920
is dead and that car was dumped
in a residential neighborhood. It could be

310
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.599
like a missing person's thing, and
that car is just there. But then

311
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:52.920
every day I'm like, well,
I want to be the guy who's a

312
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:56.960
rat in the neighborhood, and I'm
like, what if that someone just needs

313
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:02.200
to park that car there for a
minute? But how you say, dude,

314
00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:07.759
A couple of weeks since before Thanksgiving, Okay, so I should call

315
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.359
the authorities. Probably does it look
beaten up? Is there a flat on

316
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.599
it? Is it an old car? Looks very normal. It's like it's

317
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:21.440
like a twenty twelve, you know, yeah, you know Civic or whatever

318
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:25.279
it is. That was an insert
generic car name here. I believe it's

319
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:29.880
a Chevy. A Chevy Chevy car
is a well, honta Civica. What

320
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.440
became my go to for a second. I couldn't think of a Chevy car.

321
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.279
I'm not a car guy. It
could have been abandoned and just left

322
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.119
there. I'm tired of this car. I think I want to I want

323
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.359
to get a toilet in this date
age and in this economy. I did

324
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:51.440
that once. He just left a
car, Yeah I did. Did you

325
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:52.759
leave it in front of my house? It wasn't in front of your house,

326
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.200
but it was in front of somebody
else's house. Because one morning I

327
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:03.400
was driving to my pizza job and
I was given a nineteen seventy three Pontiac

328
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.599
Leman's fourdoor by a waitress that worked
at pizza in She told me and my

329
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:11.160
buddy, she said, look,
my grandma's got this car in her driveway.

330
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:14.359
We drove to South Dallas. She
goes, you can get this thing

331
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:17.759
out of her driveway, it's yours. We drove down there, put a

332
00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:21.160
battery in it, put some gum
out the carburetor. It fired right up.

333
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.200
This is the car that notoriously caught
on fire on a pizza delivery and

334
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:30.000
installed at the rat Cheap Chick Trick
concert on the overpass going into the Reunion

335
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.720
Arena parking garage that I left,
and it started up after the concert,

336
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.559
but held up traffic and made half
of the venue miss half the show,

337
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.319
and it stayed there anyway. This
car finally gave up the ghost when I

338
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.480
was on my way to work,
when the transmission went completely out except for

339
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:52.359
reverse. So as to not have
to walk more, I drove the car

340
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.440
and reverse down residential streets to get
as close to my work as possible,

341
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.960
until it became evident that to to
get any closer I would have to get

342
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:06.799
on beltline. So I just left
it in front of someone's house and walk

343
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:10.319
to work. But it looked beaten
up. Oh it had a skull spray

344
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:14.880
painted skull on the hood. Yeah, see this car, so this could

345
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:18.799
be like it's been washed, even
it looks I'm saying it looks new,

346
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:26.519
but this is a modern car that
has been washed and maybe nothing. It

347
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.680
may just be there. Someone dumped
it is just keeping it there for for

348
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.279
a little bit. Maybe, but
it's been there for over a month.

349
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:36.519
It could be a relative. You
know, hey grandmama, can I park

350
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:38.559
my car in front of your shoe? Absolutely could be And I'm not gonna

351
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:44.000
be around for over a month,
ye two months. He's going to Vietnam.

352
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.160
But I at least take down the
license plate and maybe make a call

353
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:55.279
and just be like, you know
any cops. No cops know me by

354
00:27:55.599 --> 00:28:00.720
outlaw, all right? Coming up
next, can you believe it? The

355
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.960
MAVs, with the help of a
special Assie, hoop it up, Hoop

356
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:07.200
it up next to ninety's, having
won the freak
