00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.439
You're listening to the downbeat on ninety
seven to one, the freak, the

2
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:13.640
polarizing sport of golf, oh Man, big player. This morning, a

3
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:19.039
lot of people fired up for the
Masters, some people with the very popular

4
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:23.559
saying, nobody cares about golf.
We're trying to make you guys money out

5
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.320
there. You know we're trying to
make you money. We're trying to help

6
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.559
you out in your prize picks.
I did bet this one. How about

7
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.679
the Birdie War Round one Tiger Woods
against Phil Nicholson. I love it.

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.240
I got on Phil, Yeah,
Phil easy, Tiger's not gonna Yes,

9
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.799
I'm been Tiger's not gonna make the
cut Land. I don't know these people

10
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:43.799
who think he's gonna make the cut. I don't think he is. I

11
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.079
hope he does, but I hope
he does too. Yeah. I think

12
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.280
everyone hopes he does, but I
don't think anyone can bet it. But

13
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:54.960
dude, someone says, when's the
World Champion Championship of Chess Supreme Athletes?

14
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.920
You high school baseball guy spends twenty
years screaming that golf is not a sport.

15
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.519
Yeah, so stupid the golf people
like I get it if it's not

16
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:12.719
for you, that's great, But
like I don't know, you can't hit

17
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:19.599
everything and make everyone happy. Right. We just did Rangers for fifteen minutes.

18
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.799
I mean on game eleven, on
Game eleven, so imagine it was

19
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.319
the night before the World Series.
That's what it is for golf. And

20
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.400
I don't think we went nuts covering
the Valero Open. No, we don't

21
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:36.560
mention it. Can I say something
nice about you two? But we did

22
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.920
mention it. Actually, we did
go nuts covering the Valero Open. Actually,

23
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.959
if you think about it, I
will say this, there are few

24
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:53.599
people in this market that I,
in my opinion, that have the capability

25
00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.200
the knowledge to be able to talk
about something as well as you guys do

26
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.159
about golf. And no am I
a massive golf fan. No, but

27
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.439
I like any other sport. I'm
interested in the big events. You know.

28
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.199
I watched the Daytona five hundred for
crying out loud? What's wrong with

29
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.680
that? Do I know anything about
NASCAR? No? But if I'm with

30
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:21.879
people that I trust, that that
are likable dudes, and they're passionate about

31
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.879
it, what's wrong with with just
you know, lending an ear and maybe

32
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.120
you might learn something right and guess
what we're doing four hours every single day.

33
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:37.439
You know you're gonna talk about what's
going on. Absolutely you are.

34
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.879
And if what's going on aligns with
something that one of us is passionate about,

35
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.680
yeah, we're gonna we're gonna hit
that. If you know any if

36
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.759
somebody is knowledgeable and passionate about something, I don't care what the topic is,

37
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.120
it, it will it will gather
my interest. Hell yeah, and

38
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.280
golf is that that. I think
it's one of those things for you guys,

39
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.000
And I think that's really really cool. Look, I get it.

40
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.520
If you want to find out what
you know, what was really behind Morgan

41
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.120
Wallan throwing a chair off of a
Nashville bar, I'll get to that at

42
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.039
eight thirty ye stand by, stand
by and stand down. Basically, Look,

43
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.639
if you're mad and you're just screaming
there that we're talking a little bit

44
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:16.680
of golf the day before the Masters, I'll just say, if you want

45
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.199
to get down on these harry balls, you can jump right in. It's

46
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.599
a crotch party up in here,
and you can do with that what you

47
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:30.520
will. Friends, I wish you
hadn't have said that, you know,

48
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.120
I was trying to be nice and
then you pretty much just blew any equity

49
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.919
that you might have built. You'd
be careful, sir with the word blue.

50
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.039
Yeah, you had a rough morning. It's been difficult. We did

51
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.319
get a text from someone who knows
when on the course on course report.

52
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.120
My brother in law is a golf
goes a golf pro. His brother was

53
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.759
a golf pro. He went to
watch yesterday at the Masters. We got

54
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:58.599
notes Scottie is very good. Bryson
sucks at chipping and he doesn't have friends.

55
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:03.360
Brooks as you, he has one
friend me. Brooks is using a

56
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:09.120
new putter and it doesn't look good. Terrell Hatton might be a good dark

57
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:15.639
horse pick. Speith is looking good, but he stinks and he smells his

58
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:20.480
boots on the ground. Kepka seems
to be somebody everybody's worked up about.

59
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.959
Understandably, he's I told you we
got the muffin top situation. The other

60
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.800
thing had his first kid. Oh, Kevin's standing up showing what a muffin

61
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.920
top is. So he did the
Masters, and we're going about to get

62
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.399
to the scuttle, but we'll get
to the news. Everyone calmed down,

63
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:42.079
we're fine. And he sucked in
the last live event whatever. I don't

64
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.439
think brook Kepa cares about anything other
than playing in major's I have. I

65
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.680
have no real reason to believe that
brooks Kepka won't be out or near the

66
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.040
top of the leader board this week. Right. He's brooks Keopka. This

67
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.040
is what he does. But he's
been playing poorly and he just had a

68
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.160
kid, and they asked him,
why do you play so poorly in Miami.

69
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.000
He's like, honestly, I just
wanted to get done and get back

70
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.480
to my kid. And the truth
is, sometimes when the kid comes into

71
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:11.279
the life of a man, the
terminator goes away. Joel Damon, Tony

72
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.600
fen Now sometime in Jordan Speeth when
he had a kid, he is sometimes

73
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.319
you get married, you have a
kid, things change. This whole one

74
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:23.639
focus approach. All I care about
is this. So the truth is we

75
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.519
don't. We've never seen brooks Koepka
Rory strutting into a major like he does

76
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.000
with a kid at home that he
cares more about than the upcoming major.

77
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.680
It may not apply to majors.
If anyone doesn't apply to it's brooks Koepka

78
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:40.079
in majors. But just keep an
eye on let's track Scotty too when his

79
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:45.160
kid, who's doing twenty days or
whatever? When Scotty's wife, Meredith has

80
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.319
a kid. Let's see how if
he continues to be the world's best golfer.

81
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:54.360
I think he probably will probably,
but Sam Burns's wife ten days,

82
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.079
same thing. Sam Burns could leave
this thing, and he's like, he

83
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:59.759
said, the same thing, I'm
leaving now. He hasn't worn a green

84
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.680
jack, so he might be like, honey, you're going to do this

85
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:08.399
one without me? Is she pushes
through while he pushes through the back nine?

86
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.959
All else you got, Mike,
come on Augusta. No, that's

87
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:16.240
kind of Sergio. You know I
don't hate this week Freaking Pat Reid.

88
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.720
Patrick Reid. He's another dude who
plays incredibly well here. In the last

89
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.279
five years, no one has more
birdies and eagles and Patrick Reid at Augusta

90
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.199
National. You want to talk about
someone that no one wants to see near

91
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.399
the top of a leaderboard for the
live angle or for because of who he

92
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.839
is, Dude, Patrick Reid could
win this thing. Yeah, if fat

93
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:41.360
Pat wins is that the one,
it's highly interesting, But it's not I

94
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:47.600
want to see and then I'm on
Bryson watch too. I like this text.

95
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.839
What did you say? I do
not follow or like golf. However,

96
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.360
when y'all start talking about it,
I usually listen because it's entertaining.

97
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.519
Y'all make it entertaining, and I
appreciate that. Thank you. That's all

98
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.759
we're looking for. Dude, what
are we doing. We're having fun talking

99
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.120
with friends, talking sports. We're
talking about not a sport, the Masters.

100
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:13.360
So Bryson got all chunky, he
got ripped, Actually not chunky got

101
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.560
ripped. He just turned in to
a big beef cake and then he slimmed

102
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:20.600
back down. It cast some health
issues and things like that, but he

103
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:25.480
still hits the ball far it may
be, yeah, yeah, he's still

104
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.560
He's still hits a first pretty much
ever anyone. I think there's a couple

105
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.319
of dudes in the in the game
now with him, but he kills it.

106
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.560
If it is wet and they get
a partial round or most of a

107
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:40.439
round and tomorrow, I think betting
Bryson d Chambeau to be leading after round

108
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.720
one, which is a popular bet, is a pretty good one because if

109
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.720
it does just turn into Bomber's Paradise
and it's all wet and that does immediately

110
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.839
help people hit the drives far and
hit long approach shots far, which actually

111
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.160
Keopka does really good. Too.
Long iron approaches is one of the reasons.

112
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.839
The reason being the ball is just
not going to roll a bunch,

113
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.639
right yeah, yeah, yeah,
So if you're a hitter, you're not

114
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.240
gonna get much roll on all this. You gotta just kind of nut it,

115
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:05.120
and Bryson's gonna do that. I
think. I don't think he's gonna

116
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.439
win the whole damn thing, but
taking him to be the leader after round

117
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.800
one is kind of a bet.
I like. The thought is that there's

118
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.680
just too much He's so scientific,
there's just too much nuance, subtlety to

119
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.240
Augusta that it doesn't his the scientist's
brain doesn't cannot compute. I mean,

120
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.439
the best he's ever finished here is
twenty first, and that's when he was

121
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.759
an amateur. Jeez, but I
tell you this, I think Bryson Dechabo

122
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:31.759
is gonna have his best finish ever
as at a Gusta, which would be

123
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.840
top twenty. Basically guy who's completely
lost more color. Yeah, he is

124
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.600
lost, very popular, lost,
a guy people are jumping on board with

125
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:50.559
this week because of his talents.
He's a terrible putter, but he hits

126
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.720
the ball so good. Is Cameron
Young? Slide that into the back of

127
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:01.799
your head. Remember it on the
other cam. Remember Cameron's who looks a

128
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.879
little bit like a rat. Okay, he does, and he'll tell you

129
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.919
that. I think Liftoor guy has
won the Masters before. No, he

130
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:11.960
won the British Open. Sorry,
he's won the British Open. Yeah,

131
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.039
but he always plays well at Augusta. I think he is the only dude

132
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.200
to shoot for straight in the sixties. He's getting their second pencil thin mustache

133
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.399
card. Smith could win this week. He could. But if you play

134
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.919
like you know, a daily fantasy
site, all the live guys are under

135
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.879
price man, you can go Sergio
pat Reed, Cam Smith and then top

136
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.879
fill it with Scottie if you want. And I really struggle with that.

137
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.759
I don't know what to do with
that. If you follow at Mike Siroy

138
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.600
on Twitter, he posted up a
little link if you want to compete against

139
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.960
me and him. Yeah, it's
a little action online. There's a link

140
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.320
there. It's just a little fun
and we're gonna fill that up. We'd

141
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.960
like for you to fill that up
if you want to play. You know,

142
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.480
we're just having fun. If you
like to play and gamble in a

143
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.519
state that it's illegal to gamble in, get on in there, all right,

144
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.799
We're having a good time and it's
all legal because it is a strategy

145
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.200
technically. We did even mentioned Walkee
Neeman, who's a livet toor guy who

146
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:13.320
everyone's jonesing over because he's great.
He's great, but I read an article

147
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.279
about him that said he gets the
shakes every time he walks. On Augusta,

148
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.440
he pooped his pants a little bit. He has he's never had a

149
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:24.000
top ten and nineteen major tries Joaquin
Neman, and everyone's pretty hot for him

150
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.039
this week. Yeah, I think
he's gonna get a little rumbley in his

151
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.240
tumbly and have to go off and
use the porta potty. We're gonna have

152
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.799
a big master's bet at nine o'clock. Oh, and it's sick. It's

153
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:41.399
sick, with a disgusting payoff that
we do not want to lose. Everything

154
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.840
about nine o'clock is making me making
me want to run off to the porta

155
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.840
potty. Yeah yeah, pulling Neman
noxious. But right now it's time for

156
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.120
the scuttle butt. I'm knows we're
gonna find out what that cop did.

157
00:10:52.000 --> 00:11:01.679
Which one go ahead? Um in
golf this week, but by advanced to

158
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.360
their restoration. Did you see the
news about Min Woolie broke his finger?

159
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:09.879
He dropped his hand. He dropped
a twenty pound dumbbell on his own finger,

160
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.399
like five six days ago, and
he says it doesn't hurt. It's

161
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.039
broken index finger on his right hand, and he says it doesn't hurt.

162
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.679
He's fine. Okay, last one. I was thinking, okay, ox

163
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.679
Botia. He won last week?
Right, he won eighteenth hole. He

164
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.679
had to make like a twenty foot
putt to force a playoff. He makes

165
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:35.799
the putt, celebrates and with his
celebration arm dislocates his shoulder and tell me

166
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:41.440
these aren't athletes. He's They're incredible. And I love the coverage of OSHA's

167
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:48.120
wife. Oh I didn't he didn't
get it? Yeah, a great American

168
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.039
golfer about the twenty one, A
rising star. Yes, all right,

169
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.879
no more golf for another one hour
and twelve minutes. I want to know

170
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.519
what really happened to sustain these injuries. This is not Dustin Johnson. I

171
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.480
know what happened. Who was humping
we didn't mention who it was. Rory

172
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.720
that was alleged to have have been
boning some gal and crashed through a glass

173
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:16.120
coffee table. Right, No,
that was Rory with Caroline Wasna with a

174
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.000
major championship tennis winner. Housinger threw
a glass table. You got cut up.

175
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.080
Everything is wrestlings and Dustin and Paulina
were doing it standing up style in

176
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.799
Butler's cabin and fell down the stairs. Yep, that's true. He withdrew

177
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:35.639
from the Masters. He was the
favorite. Yeah. He says he was

178
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.240
walking downstairs with his socks on.
He is the Josh Hamilton of golf,

179
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.120
and they were doing He may have
been walking down the stairs to find a

180
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:48.480
sock and maybe maybe all right,
no more golf talk for the next hour

181
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.399
and eleven minutes. We can do
it, you can't. We can do

182
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:58.720
He mentioned Ludwig over. Sergeant Thomas
Fry of the Dallas Police Department, he's

183
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.840
a sorry. He's accused of stealing
three guns from the Dallas Police Department.

184
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.000
Now he is facing three charges for
theft of a firearm, which is a

185
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.519
felony. He turned himself in on
Monday to the Mesquite Police. He's been

186
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.440
with the department for twenty two years. For a cop stealing a gun,

187
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:22.159
is that like normal people stealing office
supplies? He took some pins home?

188
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.039
Where did he steal it from?
Like an evidence locker? Or he was

189
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.279
another officer's gun. Was it a
polite you know, a department issued weapon.

190
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.279
I'm not sure. He worked in
detention services at the time. I'm

191
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.559
not all sure, but you know, I can say they're just be guns

192
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.600
laying around the police department. It's
probably like a chef stealing an entire tender

193
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.559
loin. Yeah, like you know
you're not supposed to steal it and work

194
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:56.519
with it, but you can't take
it. It's like us stealing delicious Celsius

195
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.360
energy drinks right there in the break
room, lying about drink sell see this.

196
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.120
I thought that was interesting. He
again twenty two years been there.

197
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.440
He just felt the need to steal
three guns. It's I get it though,

198
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.720
the things in front of you.
If you had a stealing habit,

199
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.240
or you just thought you could just
take it, maybe you didn't think much

200
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.200
of it, maybe you didn't know
that it was a crime. He just

201
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.639
kind of took it. I could
see you would know. If you're a

202
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:26.840
cop, you wouldn't know that it's
a crime, but I could see where

203
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.759
you just see something hanging around the
office and you just took it. What's

204
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:35.480
the price of a high quality handgun, like a really good one. I

205
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:41.840
don't a thousand bucks, imagine seven
hundred to fifteen hundred maybe for something decent.

206
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.200
The cops get a high high like
highest quality or yeah, I'm assuming

207
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.159
that they Yeah, they're not they're
not buying. I mean, so any

208
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:56.919
line, any line of work,
if you have a thousand dollars bill sitting

209
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.639
there, that is something that you
see and recognize the value of. Well

210
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.440
did he find out if he sold
these or what was his No, they

211
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.279
didn't and they're still investigating. But
he turned himself in, so he must

212
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.440
have just knew that he was busted. He probably had someone tip him off

213
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.480
to it. Hey man, you
probably should just go ahead yourself in him,

214
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.200
bring those guns back to words.
It's a bad idea. So there's

215
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.360
that. I don't know. We
have a competitor for Portillos, oh,

216
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.960
the Italian beef sandwiches. You just
have Portillos, the Italian beef sandwich and

217
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.039
I'm still have not gone. Is
it hot dogs too? They have hot

218
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.200
dogs too. Yeah, it's the
Chicago Italian beef place. You get the

219
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.759
big ass pickle on your hot dog
and the whatever that greenish relish stuff is

220
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.360
looks great. I mean there's nothing
better looking than a Chicago hot dog when

221
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.000
it comes to hot dog right with
the neon relish, Yeah what that is?

222
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.159
I don't like all that stuff on
my hot dogs, but I don't

223
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.799
either. I did have I go
I want at a high quality hot dog

224
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.240
right now. Yes, I went
to Portillo's and had like right now just

225
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.639
to try it. Like the Italian
be sandwich too. When we watched the

226
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.200
Bear on FX like or Hulu,
you go oh with the Italian beef sandwich,

227
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.120
it looks pretty good, right okay? And I didn't love it,

228
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.679
but I an Italian be sandwich is
not something that I would personally seek out

229
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:15.440
very often. It's probably top three
of my favorite sandwiches, so it's highly

230
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.399
popular. Portillo's. Well, it's
a big story, multiple locations. They

231
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.679
had that one in the colony.
It's when I went to Well now,

232
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:27.080
another Chicago based competitor is making plans
to invade DFW. You guys, welcome

233
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:33.799
to ninety seven to one the food
two food companies that did combine a few

234
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.200
years ago. It's called Buona and
the original Rainbow Cone ice cream shop.

235
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:44.279
You said Bona again, say it
again? Be you Inna, It'll makes

236
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:45.879
sense in b U O n A. It makes sense in a minute.

237
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.799
So they're coming in twenty twenty five. And this just hit the Sarah Blaskovitch

238
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:53.919
of nowas Morning has had a big
art. I don't feel like waiting that

239
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.879
long. Yeah, Sarah, We're
just gonna portillo Is today. Then,

240
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.079
but they both sell or they sell
Italian beef sandwiches. And then the Rainbow

241
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.440
Cone ice cream shop has a five
flavor stack of ice cream. And it's

242
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.880
like under one roof, like a
hybrid company, right, And they're gonna

243
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.240
hit Frisco and McKinney first, then
they're going to open ten to twenty of

244
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:21.000
them. And basically the executive VP
of this company is Joe Buona Volanto.

245
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.799
Oh, Joe Buona Volanto went on
said, I've been spending a lot of

246
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.359
time in Texas and I can't believe
how much people love to eat there.

247
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.839
So this family and it's something you
have to do to, you know,

248
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:41.599
maintain life. How the bear is
this nineteen eighty one. Okay, they

249
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:48.960
open up Bona is a Bona.
That's what Google pronunciation says. I got

250
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:53.200
a Bona. In nineteen eighty one, the Buona Volatto family started selling these

251
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:59.119
Italian beef sandwiches in Chicago. Right
now, Joe the Third and Joe the

252
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:06.079
Fourth run the Bona in Chicago,
just like the Bear, Right, you

253
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:11.640
keep it going to the family known
for the Italian beach sandwiches. Forty other

254
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:17.759
menu items hot dogs, hamburgers.
Now they're not trying to pivot to fine

255
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.160
dining though, right like in the
Bear. No, they're not trying to

256
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:26.079
do that yet. Now. Their
original rainbow Cone ice cream shop had one

257
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.240
location for like ninety five years,
and in twenty twenty one merged with Bona.

258
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:34.240
All right, so they're now a
hybrid franchise. Yep. Look,

259
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:38.799
I don't like I don't get the
sweet tooth very much, but tell me

260
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:45.119
this sounds good. It's a traditional
rainbow cone that includes five ice cream flavors,

261
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:52.039
stacked, not scooped, chocolate,
strawberry, palmer House, which is

262
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.839
New York vanilla with cherries and walnuts, pistachio, and then orange sherbet.

263
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.880
Yeah, that all sounds amazing.
The cone is eight inches high, and

264
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:10.240
I can tell you, guys,
eight inches is absolutely big enough, because

265
00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.839
then is Kevin Turner. So why
DFW don't introduce me in that same breath?

266
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.799
Okay, thanks, Joe, Budavlanto
said. In Chicago, there's an

267
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.680
Italian beef stand on every other block. He says, I go to Texas,

268
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.759
I go to Arizona, I go
to Florida. There's no competition.

269
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.799
There's not there's really no because he
saw an opportunity and he's trying to branch

270
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.079
out in all these states that don't
mess around with Italian beef sandwich. Then

271
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.440
when I discovered that that thing even
existed, probably I don't know, ten

272
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:42.000
fifteen years ago in Chicago, it's
like, oh my god, this is

273
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.960
my favorite sandwich. And go back
to Dallas, there's nothing. You had

274
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:51.079
to either go to Jimmy's, which
is there's this phenomenal by the way on

275
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:56.279
Bryant Street, and then oh god, what was the place on Henderson Wild

276
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.759
about Harry's. Yeah, they had
more and it's closed, unfortunately, but

277
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.799
they had They had one too,
not quite as good as Jimmy's, But

278
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.599
you know what in a pinch and
it was right down the street from my

279
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.880
house when I lived on Lower Greenville. I'd go there on occasion and get

280
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:12.599
one. But yeah, now that
port I wonder how much of this has

281
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.480
to do with the popularity of that
damn TV show. I think some that

282
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.799
just the fact that people are even
aware that it's a real sandwich and it's

283
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.720
amazing. Yeah. I bet they
saw Portillo's go there and they said,

284
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.240
oh, well, we can go
do that. Everyone comes here. We

285
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.759
almost need well. I don't blaskovic. I know she's property of the speakeasy,

286
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:36.880
but why there's so many restaurants There's
got to be over satirization. But

287
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:41.240
we're already the most restauranted area in
America. Order how many it's just kind

288
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.839
of like how many people die to
how many the ratio how many people are

289
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:47.680
born every year, because it seems
like we every there's a year end list

290
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.039
and you see all the closures of
restaurants in the previous year, and the

291
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:55.599
list is huge. So I bet
it's it's not like we're just stacking restaurants.

292
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.079
I bet there's a little bit of
growth, but the ones that we

293
00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.480
add are probably being you know,
cooled out by the ones that we lose.

294
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.440
What was the one we just had
that's opening. Oh yeah, that

295
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.960
Midwest something chain, remember, and
they're opening twenty of them Portillo's. No,

296
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.880
no, no, there was another
one we talked about a couple weeks.

00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:23.279
Everyone, come to Texas here any

went there with Fits and he's like,

303
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:30.640
you gotta try the shake. I'm
like all right. So we go to

304
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.519
this place called Wiener Circle, middle
of the night, it's opening either twenty

305
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.000
four hours whatever. Going there,
it's packed, it's like intimidating homers,

306
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.279
yelling, I don't know what's happening. And it was Fits right, and

307
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.079
Fits is like, all right,
i'mtna get you to the twenty dollars shake.

308
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:45.559
So I hear a hot dog and
I'm like, yeah, I want

309
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:47.839
the twenty dollars shake. I'm like, shut up at a shake. I

310
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:49.279

shake, but yes, a twenty dollars

311
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.440
shake. How much booze is in
it? And you get up to the

312
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.400
front and there's a large African American
woman I've seen this okay, and she's

313
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.119
like, you want twenty dollars shake. I'm like, yeah, like me

314
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.880

twenty dollars and they hit play on something

315
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.880
and then whoever, whatever rapper it
is, it says shake, Shake,

Shake, shake, jake that song, and all the employees, five women,

317
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:17.680

pull up their tops, jugs out,

318
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.160
and they all do the shake dance
for a full thirty seconds. I

319
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.960
saw they all sing shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, and it's just tease everywhere
