You were listening to the downbeat. If it's a big story today, we're
we gotta covered for you. So don't you sweat any of that stuff.
We got you when it comes to that. We're got the news hunkies,
the Downbeat, Kevin Dan, Mike's Roy get Jeg Jackson in the house and
Sports at seven coming up at seven, Ryder Cup one on one. It
is Ryder Cup week going Friday night about midnight. Mac Cherser's talking about getting
back for the playoffs. Rider's loss last night, but the mac Scherger news
is a little encouraging. That's good stuff right there. Maybe some cowboys as
well. They're a little worried that Zeke's got some inside or info. We
didn't talk about it, Alis, y'all hit it on Monday. Zeke got
loose for a fourteen yard run on Sunday against the Jets. Damn it,
one yard short of a bet. If you don't know, Mike and I
had a bet. I bet Mike that Zeke would not have another carry in
his NFL career or fifteen yards or more. Yeah, one hundred bucks,
hundred bucks, and that was pending him getting signed somewhere, which is your
primary chance to win. Yeah, so then I got signed. I'm like,
all right, I'm probably okay. I think he rattled off a nine
yards scamper in the first game, giving me hope. And then I did
see his total numbers after the first quarter on Sunday, I'm like, oh,
he's got maybe twenty five thirty yards, like maybe, and I check
and of course in the box where they have longest fourteen twelve in short man,
damn it. I want to go back and see that run because coldn't
get it going. One hurt, one more hurdle, Zeke, you don't
get to throw as a fan of challenge flag on Wednesday, right, No,
we measure it, yeah, a dumb measurement though, just a wasted
measurement. Do you think that hurt our bet? There was his laser distance
finder? Yeah, why Bushnell. I do think it'll be even funnier.
I was kind of offering you some kind of back because what if he does
it against the Cowboys. I'm not gonna give it away, but it might
be one of my bold predictions to hedge. Yeah, but maybe not because
gets some other things tritten down as well. There's that we told you yesterday
too. We let you know at nine am that the writers strike most likely
over. They get to ratify that so and it's not like fully official yet.
The actors are now going to be next and they'll probably get a deal
done. There are rumors of late night shows coming back, like Monday Night
on October two, this next Monday. If things take a little longer in
the ratifying process, that would be October nine. But shows like that,
I mean, their shows are those guys are all dying to get back to
work. I actually have some audio from some of these late night hosts who've
been to a podcast at nine o'clock. It's very interesting, including the time
Batman tried to kill Jimmy Kimmel, at the time Jim Belushi and mister He
got in a fight. They had to take it off the air. I
mean, it's pretty nuts, and other things as well. That's really good.
A lot of settlements happening this week. Well, you know, not
in the favor of big companies either. Well, you know, the stock
prices start declining. Dingu. Yeah, no, our ratings or whatever it
is. I don't know. I don't know anything. Well, I don't
know anything. I'm gonna be fine on that end. I have to go
to bed early, so I don't have time to read four hundred and thirty
eight pages of court scripts. Who could? They're funny though. Also in
one hour of get a review of the new video board. I know,
I'm excited to hear that the Shorts Electronics video board brand new. Yeah,
at the American Airline Center. If you gonna get to a Mavas or Stars
game this year, get ready because they got a new video board. I'll
tell you about it. What are the Stars scores showing up on my phone?
Are they like in super pre preseason right now? Preseason? Okay?
I saw a big seven to nothing victory a couple of nights ago. I
was like, what, I don't really follow it like that, but I
do know they have a guy named the stank oven S, right, Yeah,
new guy maybe stink Oven, but he's its spelled stank Oven and there's
no way to get out of that. Really he's gonna I don't know,
but stank Oven is on his jersey, Is Julie no getting out of that?
Like it's st a n K O V E N. Yeah, it's
kind of a badass, not that he's kind of a beast too. Logan
stank Oven. Yeah from cam Loops, Canada, cam Loops Warmer, Dallas
Stars head coach was right. Also a failed cereal from ourselves guy cam Smith.
He tried to get that out there cam Loops. Okay, he's he's
warming up, he's getting he's his first joke. He was just wandered up
to the driving range and you just kind of laid like a pitching wedge.
You're like, dude, is this guy gonna have a long day or what?
But now he's getting a little looped up. Seven thirty, this guy
will be killing Yeah. It takes longer to get loosened up when you get
when you get older. He's pure and a few of them he's like,
thirty, shut up, Oh I'm puring. I'm so good, just like
America. Will more on that and thirty Let's do the most important thing in
the world. Though. This song bangs, Dude, it bangs at one
point five speed. Wake up your little sleepy head. It's time to get
your stupid ass out of bed. About the most and thing. And it's
a beautiful voice. Listen, tell me it's not the most important thing.
I mean, that's beautiful. How would you do that for a living.
M This is much more fun and lucrative, is it? I don't think
it is. Have you ever been the primary singer in a band at an
airport? The primary singer? I mean i've I did a solo record in
two thousand and nine which I sang all the tunes on as far as I
in a band. Yeah, for a brief time. What was a band
called? It was called Domestic Violence, mikey Okay, I remember, I
remember when you were in Domestic Violence or are you telling us about it?
We sang like Metallica and Slayer covers and stuff like that. I was like
eighteen, but it was some high school kids from Bergner lifelong band. Man,
Like, were you never really a logical candidate to be the lead singer
other than yelling? Yelling domestic right? Oh yeah, a lot of yeah
like Metallica. Yeah, you can definitely do that. But that right,
there's pretty that's very I do think your your voice is plenty good enough to
be the singer. Okay, I'll try, Okay, I'm gonna try real
hard. In our band, YEP, in our power trio, I can't
sing worth a flip. But I was the primary singer we had more of
a medley. We all got was the primary singer in BTBNL band to be
named later. Can't you guys never actually play anything? And one gig at
Club dot on it was great and you opened up for a band to be
named later. We did not open up for anyone. We were a headlining
act at club dot Wow. Sorry you're one gig a right, people?
Sorry? Thousand they were not friends with family. About thousand. They were
there just to see or Moil tickle the Ivory Hunter cannon on the drums.
That's a good band. Christine and ray on lead guitar. Oh my god,
webs on the base. Okay, that doesn't count. I'm talking about
like we're the Ringos All Star band. Is your high school band, like
your first first band? Oh no, no, I was on. That
is a cool, badass lineup. Yeah, and you're the singer, I
mean one of them. But yeah, all right, what's the most important
thing in the world, dude? So at the risk of having too much
hockey, because I'm I think that's probably a full bad idea. It's not
This is about stream, not about hockey specifically, but the Las Vegas Golden
Nights, the hockey team have this impacts? US launched a new streaming service
called Nighttime Plus. Okay, Las Vegas Nights Nighttime Plus, and they're gonna
live stream sixty nine regular season games. I'm assuming they have thirteen nationally televised
games scheduled, so they're gonna live stream sixty nine regular season games, and
fans can purchase a full season pass to Nighttime Plus for sixty nine ninety nine
or single games for six dollars and ninety nine cents. So my question is,
let's just make it about the Ranger, about the Mavericks. If they
did MAVs Plus, and so let's say the average had thirteen national TV games,
which they probably will apply of colustion to twenty. But they said sixty
nine games will stream on MAVs Plus and it'll be sixty nine ninety nine.
We don't pay that right A dollar a game? Yeah? It a heartbeat,
yep. This is interesting. This news streaming app can be downloaded on
Apple TV, Amazon, Fire TV, Roku, and then they also got
a web version, a Nighttime Plus. If you just want to pull it
up on your computer or phone, that's probably a little cheaper. So sixty
nine ninety nine for your full season without dealing with any mess with another bigger
company. Awesome. So this is the template that they're thinking. I think
so all the teams that are mired in this muck, which may be why
Cuban has been because the question that I've always had somebody that much influence,
that deeply connected into the league and without much money, that when we've asked
him about this whole Bally's thing in the past, it's like, can you
please do something about this? He's always kind of like put his hands in
the air and go, man, he can't. I wish that I could.
I wish that, but I know that he says that, and it
is probably true. But the skeptic in me he says, yeah, but
you're Mark Cuban. I got to be able to do something about this.
Maybe he's just writing this out, this stupid contract and this thing's either gonna
go belly up or they're gonna transfer the rights to some other platform or whatever.
But as soon as this thing ends, that's got to be his end
game, right, is creating his own Mavericks dot Com. And yeah,
that is the app that you can go direct. Yeah, and I can
see the stars doing this too, the Rangers as well, but the MAVs
always feel very progressive and out in front of things. So that's why I'm
I've made this about the Maps and with the home of the Maps. Now
there's the catch here. It doesn't affect us too much, but all nationally
broadcasted nights games will be a shunt of the NHL partners. The ESPN and
Turner Sports will not stream on Nighttime Plus, and sometimes they out of nowhere
go, hey, we're moving this to a national TV broadcast. But maybe
you know that up front when you pay your full season fee, fans must
be located within the nights television territory. For Las Vegas, that's Nevada,
Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, in certain counties in California, Nebraska,
and Arizona. So whatever they deemed the Mavericks or Stars television territory would
only be the people. So you got a friend in North Carolina, up
in California or whatever, Buffalo, New York wants to watch the Stars,
they couldn't. But man, I kind of think this is the way.
The Jazz and the Suns are also debuting streaming services as well, so yeah,
they're just tricking us through into another way to spend seventy dollars. On
this case, it's not because we used to just get every game included and
now now we're happy too. Oh wow, seventy dollars. Well, you
did have to pay more. You have to pay for a higher priced,
a higher tier package, whether you're using Hulu Plus or YouTube or direct tv
to get all of the Fox sports networks that didn't come with the base cable
package. They say your base cable was fifty bucks. You had to pay
an extra probably twenty twenty nine to get all of that others. This this
is what chaps my ass. You got to go back to the days and
this existed. But psview, which is the YouTube TV of its time,
YouTube TV bought PSU, the PlayStation view psview, which you did not have
to have a PlayStation four worst marketing ever calling that putting the words PlayStation Yeah,
the TV streaming platform was the stupidest thing that could ever do. But
you could need a console. I don't want to play video games. You
got the game for whatever you paying for PSV. You you got fuck Sports
Southwest at the time with it, So yeah, you know what you're saying
it's right, Mike, You're still paying for it. Yeah, but yeah,
but I think it's less. It could be wrong here. I want
to step in it. I think it's less about what people are paying for
it and more about the ease of getting it. For many people, the
idea of I can't just turn my TV on and get it for a dollar
a game. People will pay whatever if they care enough or if they don't
care enough, they can do want to do select games, and you can
map it out, and you can look at a schedule, even for those
budgeting types and go, well, I but you know in their model of
six ninety nine, that's a little price. Ten games is seventy bucks.
So they're they're asking you to get on for this full season ride at a
very nice discount. And I feel so weird to sit it or head home
and be like, oh, maybe I'll purchase the game tonight for seven dollars.
Because sometimes you watch I mean, you're not locked in completely, you
know, you check it, you jump around a little bit, pending on
what ever else is on that you're watching. It just feels weird. Yeah,
for any sport, not a pay per view of I have to make
this decision and click this. And the one thing that makes it also kind
of weird, and you know, we haven't had this. I don't know
the smoothness of changing channels since we you know, basically had channels. But
now pretty much, if you want to watch something, you're you're kind of
committed to what you're watching unless you want to shut down that app and open
up another platform. So you're watching something on YouTube, you know, now
you've got to go. You gotta exit that app and then start up the
MAVs app or the Valley's app or whatever if you want to watch a game,
and that that kind of does keep you from the back and forth switching.
Yeah, with the ease of being able to do so, Yeah,
that's one thing that's kind of a pain in the But about having all these
fragmented yeah because its quick view, Yeah, class channel. Sure, Yeah,
bye bye a better time. Las Vegas doesn't have a uh you know,
the Las Vegas Nights don have a basketball pairing. The Stars and MAVs
could team up here, yeah and save everyone a lot of money just charging
eighty bucks and move on, right, I mean that's well, we gotta
let the Baally's thing run out. Eventually, you know, before they can
do anything. Because Las Vegas Knights got out of their ballot deal or Diamond
Sports Group deal. They exited it. So I mean, it's on the
table if you're ready to transition to something else. What did it cost them
to get out of that though? I don't know that. I don't know.
Let's move on to Birthday's. Hey, Jenna or Tega's twenty one?
Do you know I just thought of a taco shell, and I thought of
tacos and made me happy. I'm just picturing Jenna Jamison eating tacos. Okay,
you guys missed Jenna or Tega's Windsdays. Very good actor, very good.
Is the show good? Yeah? I love the show Wednesday. That
thing sat up at number one on Netflix for a long time. Never never
pressed play on any other She's on her Florence Pew like train right now,
where Florence people had like four or five projects in one year. That's what
she's doing. She's the name. Yeah, she's like the news the next
screen queen. Yeah, dude, I saw the trailer for that damn show,
and she is murdering animals. I think there's a lot of family.
Yeah, I know, but I don't know. That feels like a kid's
show. They maybe because of the movies that they made, they made it
fun. Yeah, now this looked dark. If she saw a bully in
swim class and put piranhas in the pool, and then it's just yeah,
and then's the thing of blood. Didn't show him, but he didn't die.
I think he just got My nine year old niece loved loved the show.
You guys, think if there's a pool full of pranhas and you go
to the shallow end Olympic sized pool, there's a lot of pranas it and
you just cannonball into the shallow end and then kick the bottom and jump right
out. You think you're gonna get out before any pranhas, you know,
because you react the first time you're pit by one of them. You react
so quickly, you lose so much blood, you get gashed out. No,
it's not what these damn movies make you think. Piranhas. They're not
just like instantly like you're in a blender. I mean, they're gonna be
like, what the hell is that? We're scared for a second, and
then we're gonna sniff it up and then oh this is meat. This is
meat. You can jump into the pool of Piranhas. You can probably jump
in the deep but you could probably jump in the deep end and swim across
the width of the pool. Get out the other side before prana bites you.
Report they're not going to attack you. They're they're going to eat carcasses
that are already exposed flesh. And exactly, yeah, that's right, Kevin's
take your finger in an aquarium. The prana coming, bite your finger.
It won't won't prove it if you're a parana expert, call in to one
eight one seven seven eight seven one nine seven one. This is because the
movie Piranha and the other No one watches the movie. Pa jump into the
ocean and there's a million great whites in there. They're all gonna eat you
immediately. It's just not gonna happen, Kevin, paran is actually kind of
an entertaining movie. Parana the movie from like the seventies, the new one.
Dadam Scott in it. Great. Yeah, it's actually it's like a
bad good movie. Yeah. Christian Wood's twenty eight and he's a laker.
He doesn't how to play team defense. He's got to be a messed up
dude. He always seem very friendly and I liked him on media day.
Yeah, I always like Christian Wood. But when you throw off the defensive
rotation on your own and inside your own ass underraft, the player made good,
made a lot of money, great offensive player. I think he felt
like I think he had an overinflated sense of his abilities. Though I don't
think we talked on air because at the time we really couldn't. Yeah,
and now, I mean not that it's breaking news now, but I think
Chasing Kuld just hated that dude. I think a lot of dudes not hated
him, like as a person, as a player, yeah, God,
you're getting me in trouble because you're not doing what you're supposed to do on
defense. And then we the fans are like, hey, this guy scores
eighteen a game. Why isn't he ever end towards the end? Twice that
when he's in the game. But apparently he was. They thought he was
so bad on defense. You need to be on the wood or on the
pine anytime it matters. He was also the guy most likely to get an
offensive foul for setting a screen and moving his face his top of the key.
Yes, moving picks. They would show kid going how many times we
talked about this? Yeah, just stopped doing it. Take me out of
the game. Stop and then Dwight Powell goes back to the game and everyone
gets mad at Dwight Powell. Yeah. Avril Levine's thirty nine. Damn she
was married. I think they get a horse to the nickelback guy who once
claimed that he could do it himself. Do it to himself. Yeah it
dud it to yourself. Just you okay, radiohead man, Okay, go
ahead. Next, Low Lane's forty one. Well lazy? Was he our
first great lil? He was one of the first great lils. Yeah he
might be because then everyone started being a lil. It's true. Yeah.
Brad Arnold of Three Doors Downs forty five, he's two two first names.
Can blank his own blank too. I don't know. Kevin. Kevin is
forty six. Salty. It was mean, salty, remember how mean he
was. Yes, I'm stopping down birthdays, we're pausing them. We have
a thirty second call on piranhas piranha person, what do you got with thirty
seconds? Okay, So back in the day, there was a show called
River Monsters that was hosted by a guy named Jeremy Wade. Uh. He
used to go out and find the biggest baddest fish in the in the forest,
jungles wherever. He did an episode about paranas trying to disprove it,
and he got into a pool full of prunas they swam around him, didn't
touch him. Bam. So so there's one vote myth bucks Roy, much
like Ben Rogers vindicated, well, much like reporting any two sources. Dude,
that guy's change your voice, dude, and call that change change your
voice. No, we don't have time. Do you like Queens at the
Stone Age? Of course I do? See him, yes, sir,
Oh my god, you're going December tenth at Toyota Music Factory. He debunked
your theory and you were still kind enough to give this man ticket. They
