This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one. The freak, the big
national TV event happening tonight that you need to know about. We'll discuss him
five or ten. We need to finished picks with Glenn's. Almal draft House
brings you picks with Glenn's. We had Drew Pearson as the guest celebrity,
but Almal Draft House is showing the college National Championship game between Washington and Michigan.
That's gonna beat the Lake Highlands location. You can get your tickets at
draft house dot com. I think it's gonna be a good game Washington and
Michigan. Actually I think Washington's gonna smoke them. But that's you know,
maybe it's not gonna be a good game. I was thinking that Texas won.
I mean, if Texas would have wanted to think Texas Michigan would have
been a good game either way. Watching this game at Alamo Draft House,
watching any game at Alamo Draft House sounds so good. I would love to
just go watch the MAVs there one night. You know the point spread on
this game? I don't yet, but I can find it quite easily.
You think Michigan buy a couple I'll have alright, Misig's the favorite act Michigan
by four and a half. Yeah, well they're gonna get that big Pinix
energy is uh Michael Penis Pinix, who's gonna dunk on Michigan. Sorry,
JJ McCarthy. Some guy tweeted, he's I don't know, I don' want
to have the joke, right, but he's so dumb. But he's like,
hey, whatever you do, don't replace the X in Michael Poenix's name
with an S and Google image search it. Oh yeah, yeah, you
wouldn't want to do that. It was just perfectly dumb. How he ro
stupid. I'm like, yeah, I guess, oh, hey, warning,
he's don't do this. He's amazing and he's gonna be the greatest quarterback
the next twenty years. He's twenty four. He will not play for twenty
years. Twenty three will be twenty four time he's on an NFL team.
They did his timeline. They're like, he had two acls at wherever he
went to school. Yeah, already went somewhere big right, they had two
a cls, and then he transferred into this I don't know that dude just
throws laser beams with his left arm exactly where he wants much Indiana. Okay,
there you go. I loved watching him, and I did. I
checked to like draft thoughts Michael Pennix. Yeah, and it was like,
he's a fifth or seventh or no, my best quarterback in the draft.
Yeah, oh yeah, you're gonna say fifth, seventh round no, no,
yeah, best team. But then I saw a couple that after that
game, they're like, screw it. Some team will move up first make
him a first rounder. I believe on the last draft stuff that I kind
of looked at a couple of weeks ago. Top five quarterback in the draft
will be fringe first rounder, you know, play a team late in the
first round might take a chance on. He had a really good wide receiver
named Rome. What a great name. Dunza. Yeah, he's probably top
ten possibly. I mean, Marvin Harrison Junior is gonna go maybe maybe one.
Maybe the Bears go, I like Justin Fields and they take No.
One Herrison junior, Mountain Bell trade. Maybe the Trap Bears are going to
trade down, get Marvin Harrison at like three and get another first round or
next year and swap one for three. I love it. It's so fun
when you're like a team like the Bears right now and you got all that
capital, yeah, and you decide you don't need a QB, which I
don't know if they decided that. And it's really really tough to tell the
Justin Fields, but if they drop off, you get Harrison pick up another
first. If Justin Fields goes into Lambeau kills the Packers' dreams on week eighteen,
how do you not sign him? And he's the guy. I know
you're not just judging it off one game. But they're seven and nine.
It's not like they're god awful. No, you know, they've played well
enough to do some things. Do you think Washington is America's team right now?
Going again going against Michigan? I mean Michigan fans love Michigan. I
mean if you don't like Michigan, every even one hates Michigan. And if
you're indifferent, it's like, hell, yeah, go Washington, Yeah,
go win a national titles. Husky's cool name, Seattle, cool city,
McHale. You know they're sick of fan and former tight end walk on,
Uh yeah, throwing fish. I know who I'm pulling forward with the Huskies.
When you watch that game at the Albo Draft House in Lake Highlands.
Now, as we go to picks with Glenn's, Drew Pearson made his pick
take the Cowboys and the Eagles. Richard from Fort Worth to Cowboys minus thirteen
and a half Buffalo minus three. The Glenn's and the celebrities seventeen twelve and
one in first place, but in second place Danny's son Malcolm, Malcolm sixteen
and fourteen. He's incredible. He's a little savant, He's a little sports
savantsh already, he's Malcolm the Greek, Malki the Greek. And do we
get his picks this week? You want to do those now? Or do
you want me and Mikey? No, let's get him. He's in second
place here he is. Oh, I always have to set this up a
little bit early in the morning. Today. I forgot to do it again.
Yes, your day, So Mom handled the chore. Thank you Mom.
And he sounds hammered. I'm just gonna tell you, he sounds like
a drunk toddler, as most toddlers do. But a little extra today,
little extra loopy this morning. Here we go, Malcolm, Are you ready
for some football picks? All right? Okay? Do you want Dolphins or
Bill's hie? Come over here, say it into the phone. I et
Dolphins, okay, And now do you want Cowboys or Commanders? He?
Oh, Cowboys? Awesome? Okay. Do you want to say hi to
anybody? Hi? Hi? All right? Hi? Who? Hi?
Who? At the beginning football picks, all right here sounded like Daddy had
some daddy laughing. All right, so you need dolphins. They had to
walk away from the mic to dolphins. I need dolphins like he's got hundred
dollars on the skin. Yeah, yeah, he needs Dolphins and he needs
Cowboys. Come on, Malkie, all right now, odd Danny, you
would be next. I'm ready. It's fifteen wins season and uh yeah,
you Saints at home against Falcons. I've got Saints plus three. They need
this win to have a chance, and their chance is pretty realistic. And
I think I'm going to take New Orleans in the Superdome against the lowly Falcons
to cover. And man, after having the OG eighty eight on earlier,
and he's picking the Cowboys to blow them out, I'm kind of right there
with him. The Cowboys since the Buffalo game, have appeared to somewhat struggle
offensively. They have played too many close games. I think they're better than
what they've been playing lately, and I think it's time for them to strap
a whooping on a team and streak into the playoffs. And there's no better
candidate than the Washington commodore. So give me the Cowboys to cover that thirteen
and a half. All right, now, I've got Saints minus three and
a half on my Are you good with that, Danny? Yeah? Three
and a half? Fine, minus three and a half, Okay, there
we go. Next on the chart would be at fifteen months, me at
fourteen wins. Such I didn't go Washington plus thirteen and a half, Detroit
minus three and a half over Minnesota. Minnesota's gotten a quarterback. Nick Mullen's
going to start Detroit pissed off after what happened last week. And Detroit technically,
if the Cowboys lost, that game's at noon too, like the Cows
at three twenty five. Detroit games at noon technically would be playing to kind
of win, and then if the Cowboys lose, they could leap frog them
yep. Or if the Eagles somehow won and the Cowboys, you know,
there's they could get up to the number two, so I think they'll be
playing for it. I'm taking them that takes us to Mike thirteen wins row
he losses, you have that or no, yees, sixteen and one thirteen
sixteen and one can't get to five hundred, but I cannot lose. And
which you did this in the playoffs potentially too though, well, I just
put it different category regular season plays. I'm taking the Commanders plus thirteen and
a half points, mainly because I just take division rivals getting double digits.
I don't know if it's smart or not, but and I also need to
pick up little ground on all you blue star glass wearing fools. So give
me the commission me And how was it three and five on the road this
year? Yep, it's got to earn it progress, I don't know.
Give me the Commander plus plus all them juicy points. Uh. My second
pick, the captain goes down with the ship with this heart. We're just
throwing it out there. You're gonna give the Miami Dolphins three points at home
at Joe Robbie Stadium at hard Rock Stadium. I read an article that Bill's
fans are going to be representing down in Miami and in all likelihood will be
over fifty percent in attendance. That's false because there are no better fans in
the NFL than the fans of the Miami Dolphins, who famously pack that stadium
whether there's a winning team or a losing team. Known for that the most
rabid sports the South Florida sports fan. Just now we finally plant our flag
as the Kings of the AFC East Miami Dolphins win the game, win the
division, and certainly don't need the three points that I will also take.
Okay, Dolphins plus three JJ in the back, twelve wins on the ear.
You got Cowboys Texans, Cowboys, Cowboys Texas and then Houston. Yeah,
Saturday game Houston and Indianapolis. Jeff Saturday had a funny comment the other
day and said, I'm picking the Colts in this game because They've got a
good coach this year as he was the coach last year. Houston minus one
and a half, The CJ. Stroud train should roll on. There.
I'm with you, there, JAJ right there, Houston minus one and a
half. There it is picture with Glenn's brought you by Almo draft House.
Best for me, it's a hot mob. There's a big in our birthdays.
There's a big TV event happening tonight, Mike. Yeah, and I
just kind of hit me out of No. I didn't watch a minute of
this, but I know people love it. I know this is a ten
million person viewing type of a deal. Yeah. My coverage of the Golden
Bachelor strictly came from the speakeasy, right, And I like that. I
like the people are on this. Yeah, and I kind of like there
are a double Takeler. So the headline, we have the gold Bachelor wedding
tonight, like a live wedding on TV. That's weird with this old fart
and his new old fart, lady friend seventy six years old and seventy four
or something like that. Are they're actually doing them live wedding tonight. I
think I've watched a live wedding since Charles and Camilla. Did you you watch
that one? No? If I watched one since Lady Die, No,
I did not watch it. But yeah, this thing's gonna smash all sorts
of viewing records tonight, and I think we should probably lay eyes on it
at least gently, uh to talk about it. If we need to.
It's Jerry Turner marrying Teresa nist Ages. He is slightly older than her.
You think i'd have the article up. I don't know, dude, I
am tired. That's her. I think Jeff said one of them. I
think capitals in. One of these gals has a big face. She know.
I don't know if it's the one that Yeah, I think it is.
She does have a wide mouth. It appears he's had a lot of
botox. I don't know. I only see still pictures of her. Again,
I've never seen, Uh, Jerry Turner seventy two, didn't I do
the expos on this show? Kind of yes on him? Oh my god,
this guy is seventy two. Yeah, he looks incredible. Yeah,
it looks good. But he got he's the same age as Mike Reiner.
Yeah, that's our Golden Bachelor, Sweet Mike. We tried to get him
on when this thing was first talked about. But dude, so many people
try to try out for this and it actually I read an interesting article about
finding love late in life and that sort of thing, and so ten thousand
Americans turned sixty five every day, which I don't know if that's shocking or
not. I don't know whenever I read stats like that any age. But
by twenty thirty, there's gonna be more Americans over sixty five than there are
under eighteen, and none of them are giving up on love. So,
according to the US Census Bureau, forty six percent, forty six point four
percent of all adults are single. Zak, did you find that out?
That feels like a lot, But I guess at the end there's a lot
of people whose spouse has passed away, so yeah, that reason or single
by choice? I guess, Well, is it count as being single if
you're a widow? Yeah? I think it does. Yeah, Yeah,
Okay, So as soon to be wife Teresa nissed seventy, yes, seventy
two and seventy yeah. Uh she just turned Yeah, she just turned seventy.
In August, forty nine percent of all single adults report they're looking to
date. Yeah, and for men over forty that goes to fifty five percent.
But I thought it was on for over forty six percent of all adults
are single. I mean, we've heard a lot of now that that's an
interesting stat for sure. You've heard a lot of like crazy stories about you
know, fire in the nursing home. Yeah, where it's like fire d
a little passion in there and herb's getting spread. I think that some people.
I think that that there are some people that just aren't meant to be
married. And I think we live in an age now that people may have
tried it once or twice and they realize, you know what, this just
doesn't cut out for me. I'm just not going to do this again.
And that's I think that's why a lot of folks remain single into their older
years. Yeah, I think they could be. Yeah, and I think
maybe a lot of people would just get married or in it because they just
don't want to be alone or can't be alone at an early age too.
Well. Yeah, I have personally interesting because I was just home with my
mom who's eighty one, and she's you know, widowed and single, and
she is sort of said she would love, you know, companionship, you
know, somebody to hang out with more than you know whatever. I don't
know about all the other aspects of it, you mean, like doing it.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Everyone knew. That's what I meant.
The other aspects everyone knew it, But I thought it was really like
sweet, you know to hear that. And she looks great at eighty one,
no doubt. And she's spry and fiery and talk your ear off,
and she's fun funny, and she asked me for help, and I'm like,
I don't. Yeah, she's funny. I'm like, I don't.
I didn't begin to help. The women I know in my eighties all have
tons of energy. Really, I'm thinking about Vida, which I know ostensibly.
You know, I met a few times, Skins, Mom, Gator,
you know, a real firecracker. I think about my nana Joline.
I mean, that is an energetic old broad yeah, you know, and
they just I think they just want to have fun. They have somebody to
do fun stuff with. Yeah, I want nothing more than for the next
time that you go to visit Vida in Florida, you get to meet some
dude walking around the kitchen in his underwear, right, this old guy named
Lars. Lars, Yeah, not Lars. He's not gonna look like the
guy in the Gigawatt commercial, the long haired thirty two year old named Lars.
But I think she's on the hunt, so I'm not even kidding.
She comes here and visits once or twice a year. If anybody listening has
a dad or grandfather who's in their seventies, widowed, single, clean past,
just yes, and I'm gonna vet these people certainly, but I'm not
kidding. If somebody is related to someone who in your life is seeking the
same thing, maybe just some latent life companionship, it's please email me if
you think that man might be a match for my mom. Vite. What's
that email? Kevin dot Turner? Now there's no dot. It's Kevin Turner
at iHeartMedia dot com. Yeah, fine, Mike, I think it's Michael
Siroy at iHeartMedia dot com. He's not gonna check that. He's never checked
it once. All right, it's Mike Surroy email a yahu. I think
it's a good thing. I'm not kidding, And hopefully somebody maybe here's any
like you know what, and no promises, no nothing, and please send
me an email and yeah, send a picture and I'll send it to Vita.
But she kind of asked me, She's like, can't you help?
I'm like, what the hell do you mean? How can I help?
But I can would actually be sweet and if she's a platform she doesn't live
here. So if you like to maybe have dinner with my incredibly funny,
cool, sweet eighty one year old mom, it's you know, assuming you
pass my stringent vetting process, I might chaperon. I might chaperone the dinner,
especially if you're hu left. Especially what Yeah, if you're far left,
then we can ask them how the date went. Honestly, dreams come
true. Hey, it's the most divisive year of all time. Twenty twenty
four, Well you get everyone to get let's bring people together. Birthday's lightning
ground shoot Wemby's twenty Dereck Henry's thirty. Those are two large, two large.
Paul Vargheese speaking of large men, Paul Vargas is forty. He was
but twenty He ain't large, not large, friend, Paul, talented man.
Support Paul Varghez. Please, we were gonna have him come up on
one of the days that you were gone that he didn't want to get up
that early. Think he had a night, he had a night the night
before it said yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and pass. Showed up halfway
through the show on vacation exactly because he cares. Michael Stipe, sixty four
spare in the rear. I think quite influential to Tom Yorke big big yeah,
really really good friends with Kurt Cobain too. New Order Joy Division guitarist
Bernard Sumner sixty eight. Go Bernie, have some Bernie, the guy who
benefited, well, he wouldn't say it this way, but benefited from the
death of Curtis. Yea tough He killed himself. Yeah, but he had
epilepsy. Okay, but epilepsy didn't kill him he yeah, no, but
he hung essence because of epilepsy will make you in a curious and the rope
most of beam and in his house probably had something to do with it too.
Tina Knowles Is sixty nine. Hey, oh, clapping in there,
Mama is that, Mama, Mama Bear and everyone. We're gonna really everyone
go out to the cemetery, Mother of the Queen and drop a rose off
at a random grave in honor of Don Shula, who would have been ninety
four today. Oh would have been used to be playing time on the road.
You know it's weird. I my uh, sometimes I just sing kiss
from a rose. My my grandma use yasbutis and my grandfather to seize jazz.
Bututus are in a beautiful mausoleum in Miami, Florida, where their remains
are. And every time I go to Miami, we can bring flowers and
that sort of thing. And directly across, I mean you can see the
other is Don Shula and his wife forever, your kid, Dorothy Shuler is
amazing. Your grandparents are buried near Don Shula within earshot of play calls and
everything. That's incredible. But yeah, and I always and it makes sense,
Soroy Shula, Well it's yas buttus was. They said that. Yeah,
so's that doesn't make as much sense now and now that you're lying,
you're lying. They're in a little bit more of a premium plot the Shulas
are. But it is right. I mean it's twelve feet away. God,
it's cool. And every time I bring flowers to, you know,
my grand grandparents, and I do clip two flowers and bring one to Don
and one to Dorothy Shula. Rest in power, young king. Let's end
with a talk about real quick just one here a bout you by advanced their
restoration. Thanks for sending them all in. We ran out of time today
