be there. That's gonna be fun. Can I ask where the name came
from? Because that's a cool ass name, The Silver Skylarks. How does
a band? You know? What's come about? Okay? So I had
been trying to think of something to name a post Bastards of Soul project.
Didn't know what it was going to be, but I knew I had this
collection of songs and I wanted him to land somewhere, and you go,
you gotta have a stupid name for your band, and I'm like, what
can I? And I always thought like those old singing groups that named their
their their groups or bands after after muscle cars back in the day, you
know, uh whatever, the Camaros, the Mustangs, you know, they
always had those car name bands. I don't think that either one of those
were bands, but I can one example. But okay, so Booker T
and the MG's, you know, the MG the little British car. I
don't know. I just always thought that that the I don't know, that
just kind of always kind of presented a certain vibe or era or vision.
So I thought the Buick Skylark, that's you know, I'm sure, but
I think there was a Skylarks back in the day, and I was thinking,
you know, we're from Dallas, Silver and Blue Cowboys, Skylarks,
silver silver. You got the alliteration, Yeah, that does work. The
problem of it is if you try to abbreviate it, it says SS.
So I always have to spell it out, you know, when I want
a cool yeah logo, Hey, skin, do you have that SS thing
ready to go for tomorrow? I don't feel great about texting that, but
I don't know, I just kind of like the way it sounded. It's
cool, it doesn't mean anything, sounds badass, and it's the new name
of the Eastwood Record label company. Yes, Skylark Soul Company, the Skylark
Sulco Company, that's the label. So Kesseler Tomorrow night, Saturday Night Ladylove

major cell phone outages from Verizon AT and T and T Mobile. It hasn't
affected any of us on our show except for JJ and Mike. Well,
that's not a good way to say that. So me, Andy looking good.
I'm feeling good about Danny's big weekend because my phone's working due I reset
my phone and SOS still there. I am an AT and T customer still
says that's SOS, but I am still getting texts but no calls. Yeah,
got texted in and he basically said he was talking about his job and
he's like my phone. Having a phone is kind of my lifeblood for work,
so there's a bit of a problem for him. And his boss is
like, well, still come in anyways, and he's like, well,
I can't do anything if my phone's not going to be working. Some people
just used their phone all day to do whatever they do in this world.
So I don't know that it's a cyber attack that's been rumored, but that
could just be fear porn. It's likely just a few outages, but it's
still something and interesting. We haven't really experienced a thing like this to this
extent with all three companies before. More details as they continue to surface.
Right now, it's time for the butt But what's brought you by advance here
restoration? What's in the the satellite fell fell back to meat Ye who got
crushed? Did atlant on Mario Lopez's house? I didn't land on Mario Lopez's
house, as he was trying some new street tacos El Pistor have some Chili's
Chile's El store today. Man, I almost lobbying cutted up last night so
close and I opted for fu Really I did. I did not a bad
goal? Yeah, weird thoughing a hot night. It was great by myself,
was wonderful. Vietnam Pound for pound best fa in Dallas. What which
place Vietnam? The place there's a restaurant called Vietnam. Yeah, that's very
creative project, banned like the band they did music. So it fell in
between Hawaii and Alaska, right in the Pacific Ocean. It hit at eleven
fifteen Central time. Okay, so there you go. We gotta go get
it ahead. Everyone's good. I mean, did it explode and all the
particles landed in the ocean? Do we? Yeah? It broke up into
a lot of pieces, they think. Whatever. The biggest main piece maybe
about the size of Megan Fox landed somewhere between Hawaii and Alaska. That's a
lot of space. They don't even know exactly where this thing. It's fine.
Are there are there rescue efforts being made to go get Megan Fox from
the Pacific Ocean? Because I would like to be I'd like to volunteer.
That would be a far quicker response if Megan Fox was bob up and down
in the ocean. Yeah, we'd all be off today. God. Why
was that a plotline of the movie Pirates? There was there a girl lost
it she was, Yeah, I think it was Carmen Luvigna. It was
just bobbing in the ocean. She's shark food, mabey was she she had
a little boat or she didn't find she was floating. She was just floating.
Yeah, it turns out she they thought it was dead body. Turns
out she was alive, and she was alive. And when they rescued her.
Was she appreciative? She was so appreciative. Did she show her appreciation?
Did she show the whole crew appreciation at the same time? Is it
everything that you would imagine? That? Was it? Okay? I was
so thankful that we have porno. I mean, think about it could be
it's not that insane of a world where that would be like, oh my
god, what videos? I mean people do it like, that's not that
crazy. We lived in a world where it wasn't that well, no,
it wasn't attainable. That was a technology question. Yeah, I mean more
from a legal standpoint and societ idol acceptance. Oh, it's so good man.
There's so many different flavors you can try to. I mean, anything
you think of. You think it's free, it's free, like you know,
we're we're spoiled, spoiled, and yes, it's definitely affecting the real
world life and relationships and relationships. Yes, but you can type in anything,
you can type in anything, you can think every day and have a
different option. It's amazing. Oh we're so lucky. We appreciate the good
things more instead of bitching about the best serious like we have pretty much everything.
You're about to get your second text from Christie. Good morning. I
was just in a radio home ownership. According to a recent study, the
majority of Texans Texas homeowners bought their first house by age thirty seven. I'm
thirty six. I bought mine at thirty five. Look at you ahead of
the game. And the year two thousand, that age was thirty four,
two thousand. Were you owning a house? I hadn't own a house until
I was forty seven. This house, yeah, this first house. You
bought, first house I've ever owned. I've been a renting mofo. So
nineteen eighty. It was twenty nine, two thousand and thirty four, and
then now it's thirty seven, nineteen eighty. It was twenty nine. Yeah,
man, we screwed this thing up. Now we're not going to get
into a political thing and about her greed and all this. But the idea
was the middle class. You work a nice, solid job, and the
best one was John Oliver did the whole thing on truck driving. Yes,
it was a very respected job, and it was enough to work and buy
a home and support a family and take the vacation. Thing is design,
yes, and go to Disney World if you want. It was it was
right, yeah, and our own greed fed it up. And now you
have to you can't. Nothing's ever enough. No, we fed it up,
and it's our own greed. It sucks. So median US home values
have doubled in the last decade. Meanwhile, household incomes have only grown by
thirteen point five percent. So incomes double, that's one hundred percent, right,
we get paid thirteen point five percent more. Obviously not everywhere bike on
average, household incomes have grown thirteen point five it's not Those numbers are not
parallel, No, not even close. And there's no chance of a comeback
story when you're that far behind. You know what, Mikey's right, it's
it's not just we did f it up. Our culture of greed did f
it up because we had it. It was right. It's not so much
capitalism, it's the fact that everything has to represent growth. We have to
have growth. If you have a corporation that is incredibly profitable, okay,
and they say, you know what, in the fourth quarter, we posted
our best numbers that we ever had. Then you get to the first quarter
of the following year and it shows a one point five percent dip that is
looked at as failure when in reality, you're still incredibly profitable. You're making
tons of money, but you're making less than your high mark. And if
you're not consistently beating your higher mark and that raising raising, raising, then
it's considered a failure. And then people end up getting fired because of that,
because the people at the top want to keep making the same money and
watch their salaries increase. So if the company is underperforming, those people aren't
taking less money. Most of them aren't taking less money. They're just they're
cutting We've got redundancies. We need to trim some fat. Yeah, we
got to make people do that. Two jobs, the same person doing two
jobs. Let me speak to something real quick to that, because this touches
a nerve with me. We had to shut down I used to own be
a coner of two drinking establishments, one and four worth one here. We
shut down the one and four Worth because after five or six years it never
showed a profit return. The one in Dallas has been very profitable up until
the pandemic. Okay, we made it through the pandemic and since then,
and that's been what a couple of years now, year and a half or
so two years since the everything kind of got back to some semblance of normalcy.
That location, the Dallas location, has not really touched a profit kick
in for the owners. That would not be acceptable in the real world.
But you know what would happen if we show it down. People would lose
their jobs. Yeah, because we're still able to pay our bills and the
people that are working there are still making livings and still making money. And
we're not firing anybody but me and the other owner. We're not making any
money off of it. But we're not going to just shut it down,
right and that. But a company will do that, and it'll fire people
just so that the owners can make more money. Because yours is small and
you have f there's eyes you can look into. No, but you're right
and that's how it should be. But why and you don't have you don't
go there all that often? You know, I don't, so you won't
in some part of your proper thinking is like, I don't need to be
making profit. It is credible profit for something that you've put a lot of
work into, but you don't actually do the day to day. No,
yes, that's not the ideal situation. To be nice if you, as
an owner was making a nice chunk every year and it's deserved, but the
option to shut it down because you're not, I'm glad that's not on the
table for you. Yeah, I mean, and I do you know the
as far as the the ugly or the not so glamorous side of owning a
bar. That's what I do is, you know, pay insurance and renew
permits and do payroll and run numbers and stuff like that. So I'm very
connected to the operations. I'm not in there making orders and restocking liquor.
You know, we have somebody to do that. That's Elliott. Yeah,
that's sweet, sweet, Thank God in Heaven for Elliott. Yeah. But
yeah, it's just a screwed up mindset that we can't look at a small
percentage loss as something that is sustainable. Everybody's got a freak out more.
This world needs more steady damn hands, steady hands. Where's the steady hands,
Mikey? You know, I don't know you want a man with a
steady hand. Sorry to hijack your segment, Kevin, but then hijacking anything
that was part of the story, man damn anyway, fifteen minutes away from
downbeat dollars. In fact, if you want to start ringing the phones at
about seven or eight minutes, we'll start taking you in and getting you set
up there two and four eight one seven seven eight seven one nine seven one.
You'll get some spends. You'll have a chance to win prizes and money
straight from us. Just make sure you have a Venmo account, otherwise we're
not gonna pay you. This is truth. This is truth, unauthorized by
the station. We personally giving you money based on spens. That's coming up
at eight. I gotta do this story, man, I've been sitting on
it for a couple of days now, just like this guy's been sitting on
it. Is this the man KINI it's the horse story. Shane Rose is
a three time Olympic Equestrian medalist for Australia. Mate. Okay, so he's
gonna be going to the twenty twenty four Paris Olympic Games in a questionism course
things. But he has been sidelined or suspended by Equestrian Australia the organization because
he wore an outfit during a show jumping fancy dress event the other day at
the Wallaby Hill Extravaganza. And he's fifty years old. And he posted a
photo of himself on Instagram. If you look up Shane Rose and just type
in man keini, he posts himself. One he's in a gorilla suit riding
a horse. Another one he's in a beer cost to ride a horse,
and another one he's in a mankini the boar at Onesie riding a horse.
Now he got suspended for that and this could keep him out of the Olympics.
It's funny leave the man alone. Let him wear the bar at bikini.
Now, any man that is willing to put that thing on, much
less hop up on a horse, let him go should be applauded. Darren
Goucher, the CEO of Equestria in Australia, said that there are a lot
of complaints that were made about his outfit, along with the fact that miners
were in attendance. Oh god, but this dude got silver at the two
thousand and eight and twenty twenty Olympics. Okay, and he got a bronze
in the twenty sixteen Olympics. A legend. He's a equestrian legend. And
it's now like possible that he's not allowed to go compete in the Paris Games
in twenty twenty four because he wore a mankini to a fancy dress event.
The hell, let the band compete. That's funny. The pictures are funny.
I think we have Australia and Shan Rose joining us right now. Hey,
Shane, good day, good to be with you. Thanks glad to
have you on. Happening to be walking down the whole way and head you
guys talking about the man Caen he figured it. Pop in and give you
a perspective. Appreciate your stick if he so. You're an Olympic legend,
you know, prime for the gold. I took home the bronze a few
years back, won a couple of sivers. Yeah, we're ready to ready
to take home the big hardeware. I want to ask how that man kinny
feels. I've seen the boy at bikini a lot is a shocking minimalist piece
of clothing. Yeah, on its own, it's quite a big snug around
the crume and it barely covers the nipples. But when you hop on top
of a horse makes things even more difficult. I found myself to be somewhat
compromised wearing the MANKINI how long is this gonna continue? To save your handlers?
Outside wavy out there? I think you have to go to a different
station. It's a go. I really enjoyed being on with the damn beat
pop on Billy the Kid. Now guy, he's a he's a right dick.
Shane Rose added to the list with Kevin from the office. Don't do
that to me to kill two minutes? Terrible. Lastly, Jesse, what's
going on with tier Woods? I know we are. I don't wear fifty
days for the Masters today, we're fifty days in the mass fifty days.
So Charlie is looking to play. How old is Charlie? He's tru a
little fifteen and he is looking to play in the Cognizant Classic in Florida next
week. Now, the way he would do that. He's playing around this
morning, and if he gets into the top twenty five of this qualifier today
against adults, you know, if he gets in the top twenty five of
this qualifier, he will go into another qualifier on Monday, and if he
finishes in the top four there, he will be teeing up alongside Rory McElroy
and Ricky Fowler and the Cognizant Classic next week. So finish top twenty five
today and finished top four on Monday in these qualifiers, and he is in
the PGA Tour tournament next week. Huh, come on and begging? I
don't think he's good enough to get in yet. He's fifteen. Can you
say he's like the third dude on his high school team? People who know
more than I say that he's not the best player on his high school team.
But he's fifteen. Also, he's playing against eighteen year olds. He's
still like he's growing very quickly, and you can kind of seem but he's
not yoked yet, like Tiger was. What's it called the Cognizant Classic,
Yeah, it is this? What is this a is this a brand?
Or is this a tournament for people that are just aware is awareness. I
don't know what Cognizant is. That is one of Them's the Honda Classic.
It's a primary sponsor for an F one team too, for the Aston Martin
team. Cognizant and I always see it and I don't know what it is.
I see a field of golfers that know exactly where they are right now,
right here at the Cognizant Classic. Every player but that's is that a
e exactly where they know? It's a basic? But why is Rory playing?
Uh? Probably just trying to get ready because the players is coming up
and that's a twenty five million dollar pool middle of March, so next week
we'll start. They're in Mexico this week. Next week starts the Florida So
it's it's the old Honda Classic, is what it is. Yeah. So,
yeah, he's playing right now. And if he finishes in the top
twenty five today, top four on Monday, fifteen year old Charlie, you
don't think the sports world is going to lose their mind. Yeah, but
your little Charlie's four on Monday, So he's basically earning the right to attempt
to qualify on Monday for a PGA Tour event, and he'll be attempting that
against a c of PGA Tour pros. This is not that different than when
Romo was playing in qualifiers and you know they would send out Todd Archer to
cover his round Trinity Forest. I respect bringing it up, but he ain't.
He ain't pulling off a Monday qualifier on the PGA. We have early
reports that he had a club twirl on round one on hole one, which
I had a club twirl in my first two holes yesterday too, and then
it went down. We came out hot yesterday. Oh yeah, it was
Kevin striping him down the middle. Kevin hits every drive dead straight, dead
straight, like two seventy, like he hits a great and then it's just
a disaster. That is a mess. But on the till it's amazing.
It just pumps it all day, dead straight. It's magical. You could
argue that I could maybe score better with just my driver than my whole collection
of clubs. What's the seriously, what's the style of golfing where the two
players play and you take the best shot between the two and and make that
your score. Well, is it a scramble? Is what you described so
if you and Kevin are playing me and JJ and you just want two scores
represented, then you guys would take the best. There's best ball in scramble,
and it's confusing because they're both similarly named. Scramble would be Kevin hits
it right down the middle. I spray at seventy yards to the right.
We both hit from where Kevin Kevin's ball is. Yeah, and then let's
say he messes up and I hit the green. Then we both put from
eyeball. That's scramble. Okay, best ball is we both just play the
whole Kevin makes a par, I make a bogie. We made a par
Okay, that's best ball. Makes sense. I think scrambles more fun,
right. Scrambles fun especially for people if you have people in your group who
aren't awesome. Scramble and it's usually four people, all four hit, you
take the best of the four. So the winning score is usually a fifty
eight or something, but you just get hammered. And if Kevin hits the
fairway, then we try to just destroy the ball and just do something that
we wouldn't normally do because we already have a great one out there. It's
fun strategy. Scrambles fun. You can scramble what you guys would be a
good scramble team, right, we'd be all right. You can play with
us. You scramble with this sometimes I would love to scram Yeah, because
that even if you just ma make a putt. Yeah, you can help.
You. You're helping. I'm helping. I'm Danny. Yeah, I'm
helping. I'm helping. There's your golf today, unless Charlie makes a run
and we'll update that later in that hell, yeah, you're doing great today,
Joe. Well, coming up next, it's time to give our listeners
some money. You guys ready two one four eight one seven seven eight seven
one nine seven one. JJ will be standing by the phones. Your chance
to win money straight out of our pockets. If you have a Venmo.
If you don't have a Venmo, do not waste your time and take away
someone else's chance. But if you have a Venmo account, call that number
your chance to win money and prizes from your downbeat friends. That's next.
Downbeat dollars returns of ninety seven to one. The free
