You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven one the Freak all right, thirty
five Sweet Little Friday, November third, the day of the parade. Thanks
to JJ for helping us out all morning. It's just me and Danny Bayliss.
Now little baby KK is on the road destination Arlington is He's going to
be our roving reporter. But this is me. It's in my Delta eighty
eight. What year ninety four in the morning and the body still jumping because
mammy home? Did you have a Delta eighty eight for real? Yeah?
Until I rear ended somebody because I was reaching for the Vanilla Ic CD in
the back seat of my car. So you were trying to change this.
We don't love to ice. No, you deserved to wreck your car if
you were doing that. I wasn't turning this off to put on Vanilla Ice.
I was just I don't know what I was listening to, but I
wanted to play my Vanilla Ice. It was game day too, so I
was wearing my football jersey. And this happened in Florida. Yeah, okay,
how were you, oh junior junior year high school? And you thrashed
your hell some dude. How much did that set you back? Bill was
so mad at me, dude, and his insurance rates just probably trippy because
of your dumb ass. Did you explain to Bill that happened? Why it
happened? Now? What were you thinking? Kid? Bill passed on left
this earth without the knowledge of the truth that I was reaching for a Vanilla
ice c D behind the passenger seat. Well, how did you explain that
away? Something distracted you? Who looked on the brakes? Dude? I
probably blame them and another kid in my school that I rear ended and I
wasn't friends with him. Oh, I hated that day. We're gonna love
today though. Parade Championship parade. We we have talkbackers representing the parade,
we have people calling from the parade. We got kt we're shipping him out
to the parade. We placed our bets on who'd be held in the trophy.
I guess we never really settled on anything on Bomby. That Bomb's going
to be trophy. You called Bomby, and I feel like that that's great,
But again, I think there'll be a primary player float or fire truck
or however they do this thing that so it'll be multiple people holding the Commissioner's
trophy. I think no one. I don't expect anyone to throw the Commissioner's
trophy like Tom Brady did a couple of years ago, until he drank so
much tequila he had to be helped off the boat and into a waiting van.
Do you think we will have a player that is verifiably wasted and we'll
get some audio or something. Yeah, I do, and I think it'll
be it will be probably like Hedgy somebody like that. He's just salamming,
Yeah, pretty sloshy white claws or whatever he drinks. Yeah, but yeah,
I think you'll you'll have some animated guys out there. There'll be some
spring of beer bottles and stuff like that. But as far as like visible
or audible slurring and visible, uh, I don't know. Just kind of
nut, right, I bet. I bet there's a few. We have
voted yes on Hedg you having a zero written in EyeBlack on his ass that
we will see at some point he said he's wearing chaps. I don't know,
we'll see just a live footage outside of the globe, like field,
big crowd around Texas live And yeah, we had to talk back from a
couple hours ago saying that there's big traffic and people people are arriving. It's
going to be a scene. So if you're heading that way, stay safe,
stay very very safe. We have talkbacks galore, cause we plan every
day right around this time. In a segment called the Hot Mop, we
made this acquiesced. Sorry, not your fancy dress guy, Better grab a
hot gotta get the hot mom. You clean it all up with my trusty
hot Mob. Mikey needs a hot man today.'tis the Hot Mop where
you can uh using the iHeartRadio app, which we encourage you to download.
If you're just listening on ninety seven to one FM, all good, but
maybe get that app and it's free. You can listen to our station and
frankly, thousands of different free options you listen to all this stuff whatever you
want. If you download the iHeartRadio app, and if you do listen to
us, there's a little microphone the bottom right in the corner. You press
it, you can leave thirty seconds anything on your mind and re action of
the show, any news from the parade route, whatever whatever you got.
And I know little baby KK left us. Kevin's on his way to the
parade, but he has given all the talkbacks to JJ, so I don't
know, just far off one about how about that? Hey? I heard
that Lee Umbridge's MAVs song. It is something like mass mass mass mats mass
mass mass mass Masks go. Okay, call back, very good. Trinity
River Blues the theme of the City edition Maverick Jerseys that Leon had a hand
and putting together. And then Kevin was ripping on our chants a Rangers chance
because he's mad that everybody just uses the same let's go insert team name right,
and he wanted to come up with a new one, so he came
up with that, but with Rangers instead of Maps, Rangers Range or was
it was it Rangers Rangers, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers, Rangers Go,
which is pretty good. I mean, we just live interview with people dressed
as the dots from the Dot Race. I think the interview was conducted by
a leather jacketed Hannah Batta from Fox four. She's out there as his page
twelve to fifteen star time for this World Champions Parade all the way around both
stadiums in Arlington. Oh man, I'm starting to get a little horny.
Foam fomo. So I'm not planning to go out there, and it looks
fun and it's a beautiful, beautiful late morning. You're horny today, aren't
you? No? Are you sure? Yes? I think that's just you.
I think you're horny today, don't know. Don't row j for noticing
the truth pretty benign because oftentimes in this world, the words that come out
of someone's mouth are actually only about them, and they try to project them
onto others and they scream, you're a horny, you're horny, But in
truth, it's you're the one. Okay, you're the horny one. Yeah,
thanks gas lighter. Talk about new more dose, guys. Listen,
listen, listen. The media and Arlington PD are predicting five to eight hundred
thousand people. They are going to have an official tally counter John Smoltz not
to count each individual fan and he will individually tear them down. As he
commentates on the parade to day, Go Rangers, this is the John Smoltz
hatred really warranted because it is so widespread. Man, I did notice it
a lot of time, you know what. I also noticed what I really
enjoyed in game, the winning game the other night and I don't know if
I just wasn't really listening all that closely in the prior games with Smoltz,
but he was incredible explaining pitch strategy in that game. He's like, this
is where you need to go low and away. It was like Romo crap
from Romo's first year. I agree, he's definitely an asset in that regard.
For sure, you always do it. He did it a lot in
that game, just talking strategically what they should do right now, and I
thought it was kind of fascinating. But yes, for the last two weeks,
for some reason, there's been a tilt where he tended to be cheering
for not the Rangers. But it could be I don't know, maybe he's
got some NL loyalty. This is just failt in. But he kept citing
the fact that they weren't supposed to be here. This is so unexpected,
this came out of nowhere. But if you think about the expectations of the
Rangers at the beginning of the season, you could say the same thing about
them. Even though they're payrolls obviously you know a lot more. They started
the season with a good plan, a good strategy, but it wasn't supposed
to be this year. It's not like we're some powerhouse that's always there and
the world is cheering again. It's far from it. Also, he could
have a friend in the front office that he just happened to really want to
win. I don't know what it was, but yes, it got annoying,
but I don't think it was egregious as Ranger Twitter kind of made it
sound. Here's your third talk back of the day, Freak Family reporting live
from the Encore in Las Vegas, and I can report there is no parade
coming to Vegas. I'm looking outside right now at the Hilton Concord. The
sun is coming up. It looks like it is rising in the east,
and everything is good here in Vegas. So if you're in Vegas for the
parade, you're gonna be okay today. Okay, I forgot we encourage talkbackers
to do it like a local news hit. I totally forgot that. So
bravo, cool of the sphere to give us speaking to Vegas. Fool of
the sphere to give the little Rangers some shine. Got me fired up.
Yeah, the sphere. It turned it into a baseball with a big tee
on it yeah, and Empire State Building did the Rangers colors and honor of
their wind. I drove. I typically take thirty to seventy five and then
six thirty five up from EA Stylus, And on yesterday I went ahead and
drove through downtown and took thirty five up the toll way to get here,
just because I wanted to see what downtown looked like. And I tried to
get a video of Reunion Tower because they had the red and blue with the
tea and all that, and and the green building was blue with a red
top. It looked really cool. My video was terrible, though. Now
it's got a wreck. There's a picture of a guy his winning ticket that
he bet in April of this year, put three hundred dollars on the Rangers
to win the World Series, paid fifteen thousand. I think you saw.
Thank you're right paired to be interviewing him as well. No parade in Vegas,
thank you. That talkbacker not counting the parade of inexpensive hookers leaving his
hotel room as we speak, expensive affordable. Here's your force. Good late
morning, downbeat. I noticed this morning you guys started one minute late.
That means that you have depriving us of sixty seconds of pure comedy gold.
That is selfish and because of your guys' selfishness to start your show one minute
late, I'm not giving you guys mouth hugs. Sorry, sorry, be
and do better one minute. He missed one minute of radio comedy gold.
I don't know about that. I like to report that it was twenty five
seconds looking at it on the log right now. Yeah you hear that guy.
Set your clock, pal, So where are we at on the mouth
hugs? Now that we sort it out, it's only twenty five seconds late.
We only get one. We were late. That's okay. One J.
Travis here with your official official parade news report, coming to you live
from Booie, Texas. Out Here in Bowie, we have no traffic whatsoever
for the parade, and uh, it's gonna be kind of tough to see
it from this location. But if you're headed that way, no trouble for
y'all. This has been Travis with your official report for Freak News now for
Bowie. He seemed like he was trying to try out for the open casting
newscast that we were selling her life. I think there's some raw talent there
with Travis and Bowie. Yeah, yeah, you could take something insignificant and
make it, I guess continue to sound insignificant. That's what that's kind of
what we do for four hours a day. So he offered insignificant people talking
about insignificant things, making them sound more insignificant than they actually are for six
to ten, for three hours and fifty nine minutes. Today we have Benn's
kinn coming in here shortly. They are oh no, they're not coming in
here there on the road at Pluckers. We'll get to them in a hot
minute, but they're going to be kind of covering at the parade with the
eyes of Kevin Turner, who is listening to us right now and is probably
already there because there was no need to leave early none, but he kind
of sold it like you needed to. You got a couple more Talkbackstill,
don't you double j shoot? Why did the horny Walrus stumble into the tupperware
store? It was trying to find a tight seal. I wouldn't know what
was just said. Yeah, JJ talked to us, made jokes, so
we didn't get to hear it. Play play one more time. Why did
the Horny Walrus stumble into the tupperware store. It was trying to find a
tight seal. Okay, don't okay, right up there, get over that
one. I saw that on Reddit weeks ago and thought, hmm wait,
Reddit, you're not writing these jokes yourself, dude, really, you know
I'm not. You're the one that told me to look on Reddit for joke.
It can help you need because after three days of Dingu's morning news,
he's like, palms up, I don't have any more jokes. I don't
know where you get these jokes. I know three jokes. Hey, y'all,
I'm Bruce Bochie and I'm calling from a training room where I'm just getting
the old rists taped up. Gotta get him in tip top shape for all
the parade waving and high fiving and fuff with a finger blast and the ladies.
I'll be doing latest. And I wanted to take a quick moment or
to let you know that we're so happy to have been able to bring home
the World Series for y'all. We know how important this is to North Texas
and particularly for Dallas baseball. Howny. Things have been going downhill for y'all
ever since you guys blew the President's head off. Thanks Skip with the talkback.
Thanks Skip. God, that's a funny man. Always shocking too.
What are you saying you're not able to link up with our remote at Pluckers.
No, I'm texting Christina now and it sounds like they're having internet problems
right now, kidding of course there. Yeah, Well do you have about
twenty five more? Talkback? Half like two more? All right, screw
let's burn hopefully. Thanks Kevo. This is Mike Read with Channel eight Safe
Solutions News. We are looking at a live view of the Rangers Stadium parade
today and traffic is building up. About fifteen to twenty five minute delay to
find a parking spot coming back from the I thirty headed eastbound is building up
slowly, but we've got traffic. Cones on site. Looks like we've got
reports of scaffolding, and weather is going to be a little nippy, but
it's supposed to warm up, so it's gonna be a great day. All
right, Back to you, Kevo. Not badkay, That dude and he
reported on Cones, Yeah, which is incredibly fantastic because our guy that was
out there at seven am. His only report was there. He saw some
cones, which is very helpful. That dude's kind of good. That dude
legit could do local news hit a good voice. Good babe, boys,
he knew what he was doing. We're gonna send you through to the second
round, sir. Absolutely, As the ninety seven of the Freak Talent Search
continues, that guy was legit. It's justin Rangers fans of taking over Globe
Blithe Park. They're bombing beer all the way from the Nosebleeds down to the
field. It's insanity out there, folks. You better watch. Oh oh,
I've just received word that Hedgie's ass has been spotted. I repeat,
Heggie's ass has been spotted. I think SELLI He's about to report on an
exploding blimp right there. Yeah, jesus, yeah, it is trans amazing.
Jeez, flamp has been spotted. I saw a commercial for these commemorative
bats. Just the damn money on stuff. Didn't you? Uh? You
saw my text last night? I sent a screenshot of my mlbshop dot com
order. You did dropped one hundred and ten bucks on a e f and
hoodie and a cap that says world Series on it and not just worlds oh
god, not just World Series World Series Champions, because I did in twenty
ten by a World Series hoodie. But it's basically just like the participant ribbon.
Yeah, no, you don't want that. You wait for the whole
thing, and you certainly don't buy Al West Champion T shirt And shout out
to everyone who did. I've told you this before when the MAVs had their
long playoff drought and they ended up making the playoffs and played the Utah Jazz
in the first round and I believe they won that series. And this would
have been like two thousand, two thousand and one something like that, and
pastill at Reunion Arena, and I went to one of the games and bought
a T shirt that simply was a blue T shirt and it had the Mavericks
logo across the top, and underneath it it just said playoff, playoffs,
playoffs and the year Uh yeah, two thousand and two thousand and one.
I believe it is a Round one winner. No, it just said like
this was. You bought this at the first and it just said playoffs.
That's awesome. I've still got that thing somewhere. Would you pony up for
the sweater? The hoodie was seventy five and the hat was about twenty eight,
twenty nine. Not it wasn't like a gouge. It's what you would
pay at any of the You know that sweater's cool too, Gray said,
a world series, and it's the one that they wear. I wanted to
get the ones that the players were wearing after when they were handing them out,
you know, like the the T shirt that Hannah Batah was wearing underneath
her leather jacket earlier. It's that one. It's the Clubhouse any they call
it the Clubhouse logo, the Clubhouse shirt. And what do you say?
Two weeks till it arrives? I think it said three to five days.
Oh really next week me repping man, it's gonna be great. Just think
the logistics of that, Like how did they get didn't they get sure?
They were already there? I guess at every sporting good store then there,
because people went that night and they were just open. They opened up academies
and they I think they opened them up at like eleven o'clock something like that,
just loaded with all this stuff. They had had those ship to them
probably two or three days prior. Like I understand they probably had them once
they found out that the Rangers were going to be in the World Series.
Those orders that that first batch, like that first dump of orders, was
already being manufactured and starting to get shipped to the major sporting goods stores.
And then that's why they charged so much, is they've got to eat the
cost on the the other teams that all the boxes that showed up in Arizona
that they had to send back to Major League Baseball or the manufacturers or whatever.
They've got to eat the costs on those, you know. So you
think they start that procedure before the World Series even starts, once the participants
are announced, so they guarantee fload of diamondback World Championship shirts just as many
just as wait until a couple games in to see where the win might be
blowing. See how they can I think they've got to get ahead of it,
because that's that's time I'm consuming to process all that. Man, you're
talking about thousands and thousands and thousands of orders. And do you think Major
League Baseball handles that they I mean, it's their product, but yeah,
they have. You know, they farmed that out to a pretty massive company
that manufactures the stuff. Well, do you think that stuff was printed locally?
Probably not, like not the stuff that you bought. I mean maybe
because it has delivered all these stores and had it ready. Yes, I
mean it's in the stores already. I bet so, But they don't give
it to the stores until clinch night. No, the stores probably have it
two or three days in advance. But until you win the game, there's
no point in even opening the damn boxes. Do you see what I'm saying?
Because if you open those boxes and display them the game, it didn't
work out that way. You've got to As a matter of fact, I
think there's like strict rules. I'll look this up with maybe over the weekend
and next week we can talk about this. There's a total method that you
have to go through, Like if the once of the game's over and you
won, then you can open the boxes and then and only then otherwise they
are not to be opened. I don't want those out in circulation at all.
I was at the Orange Bowl when the Gators beat ou Tebow for the
National Championship, and we had media passes, so we were kind of out
on the field and we were in the bowels of Joe Robbie Stadium, and
we walked past all these boxes of Oklahoma National Championship shirts, and I had
my flip phone. I went up and took a picture one box that was
open, and boy, some security lady chewed my nuts off because of exactly
that. But there were boxes and boxes of OHU champ But I know on
site they have them, but the logistics behind getting them out to these stores
and having them available at eleven o'clock that night is just incredible. I mean
luck. I know we're not really mixing, but do you have luck with
pluckers? No? Pluckers? Not right now. I'm on the phone with
Christina right now. Okay, do you want us to stick around? No?
No, what stand back? Well, we'll go to break and then
we'll stick around, just in case they're in a pickle. Well, what
are you saying, she's got she's multitasking. Can we go to break?
What? Keep talking? I was, I'm literally talking to Christina. Okay,
but that's going to break? Yeah, okay, yeah, we'll go
to break and we'll come back. Well sorry, yeah, if we need
to stick around, we will. Thank you. That is your friendly neighborhood.
Down beat have fun at the parade to go Rangers, and thanks everybody.
We may or may not talk to you here in just a couple of minutes
