The Downbeat on ninety seven one, the freak talking your draft flight out of
that here though, all right, thank you very much. I'm Kevin Turner
with Danny Bayless. We've got J. J. Jackson here, get some
stuff from the Manning cast in college football clean up at seven, Rangers Race
preview at eight, and a lot of good stuff, and of course Dingo's
Morning News and I eight thirty. You're not gonna want to miss that.
But Danny, did you see any of the footage from Friday Night in Las
Vegas? It was the debut of the Sphere, not until about forty five
seconds ago, Kevin, I wanted to show you the videos that I saw
from the Rolling Stone Instagram account because I was just blown away and everything.
So the Sphere is a huge venue. It's a two point three billion dollar
venue and it's the world's largest spherical structure. And we've talked about it a
little bit on the show because I know Mikey was very fascinated with it.
By the way, Mike's Roy will be back tomorrow. Mikey is obsessed with
Sphere and I am too. Now, so you two open this up on
Friday Night in Vegas, the first of twenty five shows that will run through
December, so they're going full residency. And that's how they wanted to open
this up. It was it's owned by Madison Square Garden, so James Dolan
owns it. And he's actually gets credit for a lot of this, being
his idea, known for running the Nixon Too the ground. But he's like,
this is a massive success. Now we've seen the stuff at the video
of the eyeball on the outside, and they've shown some wildlife animals and how
cool it looks from the outside. But they opened it up for everyone on
Friday night. For you two. The celebrity guest list for this thing on
Friday night is insane. It's like a Colorado football game. I don't I
think all these people I'm gonna read. I think you and our audience has
heard of all of these people. I think Adam Scott, you know what
to make this interesting. Instead of me just reading a batch of names,
I want you to a B or C list these people. Okay, Adam
Scott B minus Aaron Paul, see Andre Agassi see these days. But there
was a day when he might have been a right Paul might be higher than
see I don't think so n much. Brian Cranston, he Connie Britton B
Dakota Fanning B minus Diplow. I don't know you know much about Diplow.
She should check out this album he just did with Yeah, I'm probably not
gonna do that. You can just stop there. I just saw Sturgil.
It's like a disco song. Cool Elizabeth Banks. I mean, do you
think she's foxy? Danny, she's B. Do you think she's a full
B? Do you think she's foxy? Yeah, she's great. She's a
lovely lass. John Hamm, John Hamm A plus, love me some John
Hamm. Jane Seymour, Jane Seymour, See, dude, I was going
to interview her last year from like sending me the Ed Begley Jr. That's
doctor Quinn Medicine woman bro. There was a time where she was up there
were they built for speeder for comfort. Well that's right, uh, Luke
Wilson, I mean I guess he's probably be Yeah, he's probably B B
plus and only because he's brothers with Owen. Still that keeps him in the
B. Maria Chattapova dude, steroids. Yeah, let's let's drop her down
alleged friend of the show Mario Lopez, because Sir Roy claims can get on
anytime. Although I haven't don't know why we haven't. I haven't heard Mario
on our airwaves. Oscar de la Hoya. He's pretty up there, man,
stephie Graff, she's pretty down there, man. I'll move this along.
Katie Perry and Orlando Bloom of course, Laurence Sanchez and Jeff Bezos,
Paul McCartney, Doctor Dre, Jimmy Ivien, Snoop Dog Oprah, Gail King,
Ava du Verne, John bon Jovi, Neil Patrick Harris, and Lebron
James. So all these people were there for this was opening night, Friday
Nights, opening night of Sphere. Is it the Sphere or just Sphere?
The Sphere? Okay, Sphere sends Brock a nightclub. Yeah, it sounds
like a place that's step it needs to be the Sphere. Spear have everything
in New York Pride cover could want free pizza, free family bathrooms and a
little tiny guy rollerblading and that's always these little people. Yeah. So CEO
Jim Dolan would not share who is next because you two's playing at through December
twenty five shows, and they're doing some other things, some other interactive experiences
outside. It's not they're playing every day. There's been bigger rumors about three
music artists. Any guess I like, each of you have three guesses here,
JJ and Danny. I'm just still stuck on that list. All those
people went to there to see YouTube, Well they went to see this.
Well, you know, I've bet half of those people went to see you
two. Honestly, there was a lot of white people. Yeah, I
can't get over the fact that they forced their album on us. From what
I would never get over that. You know that did you You're You're a
little younger than me, but people our our age, that is their lasting
Really memory of YouTube is waking up in your iPhone? Had you two on
it? Why I can't I can't get rid of it. God, that
was that was the though. Yeah, they ended up paying for that.
But this is uh okay. See, I want each of you to guess
three artists. These are the three rumored ones. He would Jim Dolan to
be next in line to play the Sphere because this is the new thing.
Artists are going to want to play the Sphere. Yeah, I want to
play the sphere is incredible. Take when you have you seen this any of
these videos I have, it looks I don't know if if I could like
visually handle that's a lot. Yeah, it's I don't know, think of
the most elaborate backdrop. So when bands play, they always put some kind
of screen or physical analog backdrop behind them. Usually, you know, if
it's a band that I'm in, it's just some sheet. Yeah, spray
painted the name of your dumb band on it. I can see Lady Gaga
performing there. Yeah, I can see that. But this is a full
three three hundred sixty degree visual they're calling digitally immersive experience. Yeah, I
don't know how else to describe it. It's and look, I'm watching it
on Kevin's phone on Instagram. So that's not the reason of kilter for a
man, kind of mind blowing. Just to see it on a phone,
I can only imagine what it's like to be there in the physical reality of
it all. But okay, the next three I don't know three artists cold
Play, I thought, I guess I had, Lady Guy got in Maroon
five. I don't know if I've no, but all I mean, that's
part of the realm. We're kind of in. Yeah, greaty Taylor fish
fish rumored, just rumored, Okay, James Dolan would not tip off anyone
Fish. They would do something like that though, and they would have an
excellent stage show because they're Fish Billy, Joel Weird and Harry Styles. I
could see Harry pulling that off. I mean, I can see all of
them pulling it off. Can you imagine the amount of skill and time it
would take to do a custom uh whatever they custom to create those custom scenes.
That's the thing. I mean that that's got to take the most time.
It's creating those custom scenes that all coordinate with the music. It's gonna
be sealing with money because they're hiring artists to help them go through this or
I feel like if you're not visually when it comes to your production into your
performance, if you're not about the visuals, then there's no point of performing
there. I would agree that's what James Dolan said. I keep in mind,
Jim Dolan, big hit or miss on a track record for this guy.
Especially in the world of sports, every artist is gonna want to play
here. I think every artist will be challenged by this venue. It's new
media, not just sounds the visuals. Like you were saying, Danny,
let's Wilson, let's just real quick, let's discuss the audio. Yeah,
they said. The way it's designed is it's not only just about the visual
It's got to be designed with the acoustics in mind. Ryan sound system,
Yeah, one of the best sound system. But you're you're in a sphere.
Can I throw out another Yeah? Somebody from the tech said, then
led Zeppelin might reunite at the severe. I can see talking heads. I
don't know about led Zeppelin reuniting. And Jim and Page can't even play guitar
anymore. Yeah, he can still. I'm just talking about It's like Arthur
ritis and stuff. It's real. Yeah, I'm starting to feel it too
a little bit. Robert Plant just doesn't want to do it. Yeah,
he and I don't blame him. There's no point in eighty year old man
getting up there doing black Dog. That's a young man's game at this sphere
and keep playing your mandolin music with Alison Krause. Luke Wilson said, tonight
might be a little different than when I first saw you two at the Tarrant
County Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas in nineteen eighty seven. Yeah,
that was kind of cool. His wish list for the Sphere a future Sphere
concerts includes guesses, who does Luke Wilson, what does he at the Sphere?
I don't know what he's into, Willie Nelson, Neil Young and the
Rolling Stones. I could see the Stones doing it. Sure they got a
new album coming. I could see the Stones playing the Sphere. They might
be next in line. They might be because this guy tons of buzz.
And he also that celebrity world too, wherever one just kind of loves Jay
and each other. Look at all the celebrities who were They're like, Oh,
all the celebrities are to YouTube. Maybe we'll come to see us.
We'll put on a show. Oh we could put on a show for the
Ringo, the Beatles Reunited. Do people left? So here's a portion of
the review. I read the third song in the show YouTube even better than
the real things. The name of the song, and it features a dense
visual of collage. A dense visual collage using sampled film clips of Elvis Pressley,
not Peacock, Yeah or not Andrews On this day where we're all thinking
about the Rangers and created with the use of AI. Here's what the artist
who created the set. It's about the death of Elvis Presley, and it's
about the creation of the myth of Elvis Presley and also the downfall of Elvis
Presley. And it goes through the arrows of Vegas, finally ending in the
kind of Disney version the Vegas is today. It makes sense pretty good,
actually, yeah, And I'm like, I kind of want to see this.
I'd like to see this collage of Elvis. I don't know. Late
life Elvis says very very deep roots in Las Vegas, so that that makes
sense. Late in the show, there's a striking segment created by Lucas Film
George Lucas's team using the LED display to create a view of Las Vegas from
the point of view of an audience member standing in the sphere, but as
if the walls of the sphere had disappeared, making famous the skyline. And
that's one thing, like the first couple of videos I showed you, or
one of the videos that showed you, you can't even tell it's an indoor
venue. You really can't. And think, dude, the possibilities for this
thing are endless. You could be anywhere in the world. You could have
a skyline a three and sixty degree you look completely all around, your your
peripher your your perimeter, and it could be you could be in the middle
of Manhattan, you could be in the middle of Alney, you could be
anywhere. Oh my god, I'm gonna play the Sphere Me and Grooves and
Christina, or we're gonna play them and Hunter Cannon, our drummer BTBNL returns
at the Sphere. Bottom line, just think is a badass. Just based
on what I've seen, I wonder how impossible it's going to be to get
tickets to this and how expensive they are going to be, you know,
once you get on the websites, the aftermarket website's probably insane. Yeah,
I mean anywhere in Vegas, right yeah. Bruno Mars just hit me there's
a Sphere act if I've ever seen one, or whether he well, she's
about to do some tour dates in Vegas, which he just hangs out in
Vegas all the time and be cool. They brought back to Silk Sonic thing
that he may just be going back to do. Bruno now for a while,
silk Sonics the best thing he ever did, man, and I like
him back. Yeah, what he did before that was great too, But
the real I know, that's what I'm saying. I'm not I'm not running
down anything he did outside of that. That's my that's my favorite project.
Yeah, it's so cool. That's a crazy moment. So cool. That's
why our theme song to Sports at seven. Yeah, Danny, I like
to this every now and then. I like to check in on the charts.
Let's check those damn charts, Kevin, we'na make sure we're staying young.
You know what's funny. I think the last time we looked at these,
there's two months ago. There's a guy. You know, it's funny.
So I told you what was on them when I first got to work.
Today. Well they've already changed. Oh good, they've updated them.
Today's Tuesday. Yeah yeah, yeah, I think so. Yeah, So
they updated these. So I now have the top three songs in the Hot
one hundred and Billboard's Hot one hundred. This one has been on there for
eight weeks. We've heard this before, okay, and I think this song,
you know, that's pretty good. Kind of slaps there we go this
Doja Cat and her. I had this re envisioned version and walk on by.
I think the Dion Warwick version, my friend. But this is paint
the time red. Yeah, shick. I said what they said, I
brad to be famous, is stand. I let that get to my head.
I don't care. I paint the tail brad. Shit. I said
what they said, I'd rad to be famous to stad. I let h
that get to my head. I don't care. I paint the tael brad.
Yeah, that's cool. So that song had been on the charts for
eight weeks at number two. This damn thing has been on there for forty
two weeks, and that would be this number two here best parents of teenagers
might call this artist s z A. I love sc A. You come
again nights to five? I thought, I like you got some staying this
sake. This is this is over the charts tools up and down snows.
Yeah, this is news. So kill Bill was on there forever that song
stove. I don't go nobody just week, you know, okay? And
then can I ask you what before you play number three? Can I ask
you at number four? Number five? Are yeah? I can need two
seconds? Here is I'm curious, all right, four and five are Girl
Summer Taylor Swift. I mean it's a song from ten years ago. I
know she's It's ridiculous. I wonder if this is the NFL. I remember
everything. Zach Bryan featuring Casey Musgraves. Number five is Zach Brian thing I
don't understand because he's a real deal man. He's changing this broke country stuff.
This guy's a real deal. Skin cornered me at Cash's surprise birthday party
and was selling me on Zach Bryan. Every everything. I haven't heard a
song, so every hand full of years, you'll get the the artist that
comes out that is massively, wildly popular that they try to market as the
savior of country music. We've been going down this bad road singing about trucks
and girls and beer and the troops for too long. This guy's singing about
real life. And they tried to do that with Sturgil Simpson, but he
never made that big leap into you know, being number He never never completely
sold his soul, but you got he also wants now Zach and is emblematic
of that next next step. Morgan wall And number six, Olivia Rodrigo number
seven. There we don't have a lot of Olivia Rodrigo. Let's see,
this is her, She's already peaked at number one. Man, most of
these artists that are on here have been on here for a long time.
The Drake Sissa song Uh Slim You Out? That was that was number one
in the previous week. It's in its second week on the charts and it's
dropped down to number twelve. Yeah yeah, but yet number three? Is
this still after twenty seven weeks. Luke Comb's fast Card just that munch of
people who had never heard of the original version of has to Be and the
fact that he didn't trick it up. He basically just covered her song damn
near urbat him. It's a great, great song. And I hadn't thought
about fast Car in a long time, and then somebody told me, it's
like, look it's Luke holmbs. I get it. You don't like this
stuff. Listen to his version of a fast Car by Tracy Chapman and you
I did. And I sat there and I was like, yeah, it's
pretty damn perfect. Sings a little bit of money this song was. He
just made me sad. It's because you know, it's a very melancholy tune.
Man, do you like this? Do you like this song? JJ?
Actually I'm not a big Huntry music fan, but do you like Did
you ever go back and listen to the original? I thought, yeah,
that's what it's sound familiar like. I don't did he just remaster it or
what you know? He just re recorded it, but he did it pretty
much exactly like the original. Yeah, because I remember this song. Yeah,
you remember the song getting a Little Kid, right? Yes, this
is gosh, this is late eighties Kevin early nights, late elies, your
early night because it was like this was that the second single after everyone riding
something like that massive back in the day. Anyway, that's top three of
your billboards Hot one hundred, not a lot of not a lot of new
stuff. It's songs with a lot of stone power. Go MAVs, Yeah,
Go MAVs. By Luke. The MAVs aren't ready yet. I mean
they're they're getting there, and they're going off to Abu Dhabi MAVs basketball.
Actually here on the freak this week preseason basketball or the home of the Dallas
MAVs. Danny unbelieving you believe that? And we got Rangers playoff baseball today
at two pm. Coming up after Danny's reliant spot, we were going to
get into sports at seven. I've got some more Manning cast audio from last
night. Was Peyton Manning coked out of his mind next to ninety seven one the Free
