This is a downbeat on ninety seven one The Freak. Check it down now
now that lady wouldn't lying. This is the Downbeat heard weekdays from six am
until ten am right here on ninety seven one the Freak. My name is
Danny, that's Kevin. We got JJ running the board and producing for us
per usual. Mike's Erroy is off today and tomorrow and we'll return from Istanbul
on Wednesday. We're very excited about about having him back, but we're gonna
trudge through without him for the remainder of today and tomorrow. A lot of
people were saying everyone that this thing wouldn't make it a year, and we're
not quite there yet. We've got a couple of yards to push this ball
over before we reached the goalpost. But our year anniversary, our first little
birthday for the Freak, is coming up on Thursday, and that is going
down at Echo Lounge Music Hall. Now. Echo Lounge is right there in
the Design District, just across thirty five from the AAC. It is an
awesome venue. We held our who was it our NBA draft party? There
is that right. It was super fun. But we're having a little party
ourselves to celebrate our first year as ninety seven one the Freak after our big
relaunch last year right around this time, and it's gonna be a blast.
I don't know are we gonna be We're not broadcasting on site. We'll be
there afterwards, yeah, show. We'll kick off the festivities at ten am,
okay, and then you'll have the speakeasy until six. Now what this
entails, it's a big hangout. We're all gonna be there. And one
thing that's really cool about this is if you arrive before six pm on Thursday
at the Echo Lounge, it is free to get in. Now, if
you arrive after six pm, it's only going to cost you nine dollars and
seventy one cents. Well you're wondering, well, why what don't want to
pay nine dollars and seventy one cents you get in here? Well, we've
got three damn bands that night and they're awesome. Quaker City Nighthawks are going
to headline the event, and you would pay at least that to go see
them anywhere else in the United States of America. But not only that,
we have our very own oatmeal Pizza featuring the always lovely Christina Ray from the
Ben and Skin Show and Kicking Things Up, I believe is the ultimate party
band Brand New Funk and for those of you that have not seen or even
heard of them, it's kind of it's interesting to explain, but when you
see it in person, there will not be any The seats will be empty.
People will be dancing their buns off because it is a live drummer with
a DJ playing all of the coolest soul, old school hip pop, R
and B and funk, and with a live drummer. It's incredible. The
Skin described it to me one time. It is like, I'm like,
what, so it's DJ and there's a drummer, And then I saw a
video of it they did. They did a deal up at Lockwood one time,
and I watched like ten minutes of this video just going, holy crap,
this is really freaking cool. So you got them Oatmeal pizza Quaker City
Nighthawks helping us celebrate our first birthday at the Freak one year anniversary. It's
this Thursday at Echo Lounge Music Hall. If you get there before six pm,
one free. If you arrive after six, it's a nominal cover charge
of nine dollars and seventy one sense the feel you feel like I covered the
basis like you nelled it, and I just think everyone should tell your family
and friends because we're gonna do it right Thursday night. Yep, I can
tell you the downbeat is going to probably look a lot like the Rangers did
yesterday. Yes, we're gonna probably have way too much champagne on Friday morning
on Thursday night, which will affect our ability to perform on Friday morning.
Yeah, I don't want to perform good Friday morning because we're gonna party.
It's worth it. I regret nothing. It's the sacrifices. You know.
Who knows the Rangers get to a Game three, I'm doubtful. But the
Rangers get to a Game three that well, maybe we'll end up having it
on at the Echo Lounge, depending on what time they end up kicking that
game off, because they are going to move the game around based on other
games. If the other series get cleansed, they could move it tonight so
we could have some action. That's always fun watching Rangers of a bunch of
people. Yep, ready to the butt. It's time the scuttle. But
here's some news crap with Kevin, Thank you, Danny, and I also
check out Deep Fake Vacations more on the pop star that kidnapped her son in
a second, But we had a big concert cancelation Friday night. If you
saw this. No, Pink was playing the New Ballpark Friday night with Brandy
Carlisle and Group Love. But she said that she came down with a bad
sinus infection and doctor's advised her not to play. Maybe she was making up
with Dick Valentine yes, or maybe the deer that bit him on the forehead
gave her limes disease. Bingo mystery solved. The show has been rescheduled for
November twenty six. She put out a big statement just saying that hey,
doctor said, hey, we can't have you out there, Whalen. You
know you gotta save your voice. Well you I hope that you don't have
a follow up I do with involves Arrowsmith. Okay, that's where I was
going. They also postponed their November seventh tour date, moved it to twenty
twenty four. Steven Tyler's got a fracture. Larnix. Dude, They're they're
postponing their stuff indefinitely, right, They're the plan is next year if they
can. This is bad and this is their fair farewell tour. But you
guess you're straining vocal cords. I've never heard about a fractured larynx, and
that's a babe. If one get crushed in a sex act with Roy McElroy
on a coffee glass, coffee table, no I'm not either, Yeah,
unless there's been some kind of violence, but yeah, that sucks. Man.
Yeah, they got their big reunion or not reunion, but they're big
farewell tour and they had to cancel a bunch of dates. And now,
yeah, I read over the weekend Aerosmith tour canceled indefinitely while Steven Tyler recovers
from his broken larynx, JJ, do you know if we got our phone
access back? I am not sure? All right, it's not just a
game. So our phones have been down from for a minute. But if
they if they are back off to the south, they're just in case.
If you're a doctor two one four or eight one seven seven eight seven one
nine seven one and you specialize in colds, what's going around? Is this
COVID? Is this just sinus infection? Is this just a lot of post
nasal drip going on. What are we having? Definitely cocaine if you're a
doctor and you know the numbers two on four or eight one seven seven eight
seven one ninety seven one. Maybe it's flu season. I don't know,
but it's going around, because that's two stories of musicians dealing with it in
one radio host and me. No, I've talked to many people, many
people that have been dealing for the last couple of weeks with massive head,
allergy, sinus issues. Yeah, I don't know. If it's just a
change in the seasons, the time of the season pollen. I have no
idea. Again, I mean, it's still ninety two degrees though. That's
that's my thing, is it. We're still going to be in the nineties
again today. Now we are getting close to a world, in a world
where the temperatures are going to be in the seventies and eighties. We're getting
close to that. We'll get ours four or five days of beautiful high seventies,
low eighties, and then we'll wake up one day shortly after that and
the streets will be iced over until March. You're ready for chaos? Hey,
we use that chord? Ye? I want to play an audio clip
just because you did. I thought I heard you do fake Trump a minute
ago. Oh never, that's just that's just random New York guy. Not
to talk about politics very much on this show, but I do think funny
political audio is funny. And it's that time of the year. Look,
the campaign trail is back on, dude. Look, so you can't ignore
it. No, we're not getting into politics, but political figures do funny
things all the time, and nobody is off limits. We made fun of
Biden more than Trump by a long shot on this show. It's not about
who it is, it's about who's doing funny crap. Right, Well,
why is Donald Trump in Iowa riffing on if he'd rather be electrocuted to death
or eaten by a shark? But if I'm sitting down and that boat's going
down and I'm on top of a battery, I the water start swatting in,
I'm getting concerned. But then I look ten yards to my left and
there's a shark over there. So I have a choice of electrocution or shark.
You know what, I'm gonna take electrocution. I will take electrocution every
single time. Do we agree? YEA I will take Electrician. I don't
know if they agreed they're all gonna eat. Maybe neither. I always love
like he could get really grow up like this, and then he just kind
of break good light and I'll take it. And he kind of really articulated
his words, his electrocution. He get irish to get a little electric Usian.
How far will they go? A lot of people are saying, you
know, the subscribing the gable, they want Disney plan the Disney Man.
Now it gets real high, so funny. I don't tim appleple. I
just thought that I saw that and I was like, so good. I
don't know how I even got there. I don't even know what the speech
was about, but I think we would all agree. We want to agree
with everything you're saying. But even the most staunch supporters are puzzled by the
road that you've gone down, because we've been doing this so much, because
we get obsessed with it. At the movie the other night, for Let's
Freaking Chill series, we went up to the front just kind of introduce everyone.
We had a couple of ticket getaways, and then a couple of people
in the crowd just start the other Everyone's saying it because we can't help it.
I mean, every break we start talking Trump voice because I'm fun you
know, it's funny. I've actually gone online to try to learn how to
do a Trump impression. I mean, I'm just doing the James Austin in
version as best as I can. I can't do it. I've worked on
it for a good fifteen minutes the other day with YouTube and like, okay,
now how does he? And they're like, it's all about the eyes.
You gotta get the eyes, and it's about getting the bottom living in
Nysons and Biden, Biden in China. I can't electrocution elect electrocution. That's
the part that I struggle with. Is that kind of under bye electrocution that
part? But I just thought that was weird and funny. About twenty minutes
away, we'll review our Cowboys three for all picks from Friday. We had
scorching Hunt Cowboys predictions. Did it payoff? Also talk about the defense.
I wanted a quick story about a pop star who hired some goons to kidnap
our son. Have you seen this? No Share kidnapped her Sun last year
from a New York hotel. So he was with his wife on the night
of their anniversary and four guys go in to their hotel room and remove share
son Elijah from the hotel room. Now, Elijah is also the son of
Greg Allman. Okay, isn't Elijah like forty eight? Yes or something?
Yes? Like is he literally? Yeah? So these allegations have been brought
up by his ex wife, Marie Angela King. She's thirty six, and
she's they're going through divorce and there's these very tense divorce proceedings, and she's
claiming that on the neither anniversary, four men came to their hotel room at
to marry up and remove share son Elijah from the hotel room, had an
extended stay. And then she said in the divorce proceedings, I am currently
unaware of my husband's well being or awereabouts. I'm very concerned to worried about
him. I was told by one of the four men who took him that
they were hired by Share, so Share this could be completely false, but
she's alleging that Share hired four goons come kidnap her son. Has he surfaced,
I haven't seen anything on it. Elijah Allman is his name because he's
one of the Allman brothers. Dude, how cool would it be to have
Dwayne Alman as your dad? I think it's Greg, right, I'm Greg
my bad? Yeah, Greg? Yeah, maybe Dwayne. That would be
cool. Forty seven Yeah, so apparently he was. There's some photos that
show him to appears to be a little strung out, but I mean certainly
there's CCTV footage of the hotel, Yeah, seeing him leaving with four goons.
Right, yeah, Chary's planning an intervention. So that's how hey,
goons going at my son. We're gonna do the intervention now. I hope
it goes as well as the intervention went for for Chrissy and Sopranos and go
great. It was a bad plan. Oh my god, boy. You
could tell no one was really prepared to handle that properly either. No,
a bunch of people amped up and ready to go with no plan, no
plan, no discernible plan whatsoever. The escalation got in the madness so quick.
It's one of my favorite Sopranos scenes of all time. It's beautiful,
so beautiful scene there's that. That's one of my favorite scenes of all time.
And in the scene from Sling Blade, which I don't know if you've
even ever seen there's a scene. You can look it up on YouTube and
it's called Doyle Loses It. If you know anything about the movie, Dwight
Yoakam's character when he absolutely loses his crap at band rehearsal. It's so good.
I'm looking forward to Dingu's Morning News eight thirty five special Cowboy pull Out
edition observations and audio from yesterday's game. But you're telling me about the story
that you came across. Okay, this is something I stumbled on over the
weekend, and we're not doing a typical Dingo's Morning News today, but this
would be something that I would include into this. I would say, probably
going back to my early twenties, I've always had this fascination with old cars
and acquiring old cars and restoring them. And through my life I've gotten some
pretty gotten ahold of some pretty cool stuff, mainly mopar stuff, but I
have gotten a seventy five Camaro when I was a kid, when I was
in my twenties. More recently, I guess an early seventies Dodge Dart,
seventy one Plymouth Duster, and most recently I have acquired a Ford F one
hundred, and I'll work on these for a while, and I always end
up running out of money and can't finish them and end up having to sell
them and take a big loss on them. But it's been a fascination of
mine. I always watch these car shows that where they go and find these
rusted out cars and restore them. There's a bunch of them on like the
whatever they called the Speed Network and on Netflix. Fascinated by those on Stumbled
across the stor My grandpa's got old Mustang just sitting in his yard and he
passed away. But we had talked about let's try to do something, and
we just you know, it's hard to get it's hard to get the time
and right, and it's going to really be dedicated and to make it be
a big hobby. Otherwise you just sits there and you got to have the
money to do it too, and you end up running out of funds.
Usually it's either you run out of interest or funds, or both of those
things kind of happened simultaneously. But in that world, the holy grail is
when you stumble across what is known as a garage find. And I saw
this article on the Drive dot com about this guy, and I think it's
actually the dude that runs give me the Vin dot com. Oh, John
clay Wolf, Yeah, John clay Wolf, here's I'm on a lone star
sometimes. Yeah. He posted a video on his YouTube channel and it's about
this find that happened in Irmingham, Alabama. And what it is is there
was this avid car collector, this guy named Earl Trammell. He was an
Alabama auto business figure and he passed away last year. Now, his ex
wife has this collection of cars that he had amassed and she I believe she
ended up selling it and gimme the vin dot com. They posted this video
of his collection and basically what you have are dozens of cars from a nineteen
ninety Chevy pickup all the way back to like a nineteen sixty three Corvette.
The interesting thing about these cars is, since this guy worked in the automotive
industry, a lot of these cars not only have never been driven, but
they are in the same state that they were before they would get dealer prepped.
Now what that means is when a car comes off the assembly line,
they're you know, like the steering wheel will be wrapped in some type of
protective thing. It's kind of like when you unpack a package for Amazon and
you got to cut the little core of the little plastic ties and pull off
the foam covering and then you can display it. Cars are delivered like that,
like their seats will be covered in a protective thing. They get to
the dealer, they take all that stuff off, and then they you know,
they prep them, put and you know, shine them up or whatever,
and then put them on the showroom floor or in their lot. A
lot of these cars were in the pre dealer prep state, so they are
pristine, never been touched. So I just thought this video was incredibly cool
to see some of these old corvettes, like sixties corvettes, seventy it's mostly
corvettes, but there's some other cool stuff in it too, But just to
be able to see cars that are in this state that are kind of just
preserved in time for the last you know, fifty plus years is pretty incredible
to see. And the fact that this dude had the foresight to buy these
cars cars, not touch them, put them in a garage, and just
leave them alone in a time capsule. For like I said, fifty sixty
years. It's really really cool to see this. And they had like low
mileage on them, right yeah, like like I said, never driven,
Like some of them have like nine miles on them. Oh my god.
Because typically when you buy a car, they've been test driven numerous times.
And you may have a car that's guy, you know, fifty seven miles
or one hundred and eleven miles if they're absolutely brand new, they'll have some
semblance of mileage on them. But these have literally maybe been driven, you
know, from the truck to the dealership. Pretty cool ninety eight convertible Indie
paced car as well. Yeah, yeah, so one. I think they
have one of those Grand Nationals too that s Roy's all all excited about.
But anyway, it's a really cool article. And if you're into that,
if you're a car nut, you like seeing these old cars that are just
in mint condition. There's a cool article on the drive dot com. Just
search Alabama Barnfine and and you'll see it. Anyway, I thought that was
kind of cool it it It tickled me a little bit and and got my
car weenie vibrating a little bit. So thank you for sharing worries that segments
watching Bay Parker University. That's Parker dot e du Thank you for bringing us
the scuttle butt every single day. Coming up next Every Friday, we make
three Scorching Cowboys predictions from the Ghost Pepper Pavilion. How did Me, Mikey,
and Danny do? We'll find out next on ninety seven one free
