You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one. The freak for you,
domb really easily are without looking at up. Only took a couple and
you don't win anything. You wanted to give me the text her? Who
could text? In the three movies that Francis McDorman won Best Actress for We
just did this during the break basically because Danny showed us a younger picture of
Francis McDormand, and she's pretty, and she's not someone most people have on
their Oh my god, you're so hot. Let us down the hall pass
list, you get one. But we were like, wow, she's won
three Best Actress Awards since she haves and that puts her in a league with
who Katherine Hepburn is it four? I think Meryl Streep is three in second
place as well? My I guess Sam the Stones at two? Now who's
the is? Is Katherine Heppern the goat all time? Men? And uh
yes? And this was a part of some game we did last week or
some Catherine Hepberg, But yeah, she was nominated twelve times, has four
wins. Wow, three winners are Francis McDorman alone with the silver Your two
time winners are geez A Lot, Meryl Street, Betty Davis, Ingrid Bergman,
Jane Fond, Elizabeth Taylor, Glenda Jackson, Jodie Foster, Sallyfield more
more more emmistone, Hillary Swank, Swanks one two h you got a million
dollar baby and uh girl, boys don't cry or whatever? Yeah, cool,
something like that. Fritiss. I've always thought that she's there's been something
more to her. What do you mean, I don't know, even going
back to to Fargo, they've they always old her up. They've been Willem
dafoe quality to her. And he's sneaky, She's sneaky attractive. I bet
for some women he falls into that very weird like strange looking. But wait
a minute, some women are not asking Oh headshake, no woman, okay,
zero zero women, zero woman according to the machine. And you've I
guarantee you there are some who have, especially his character and poor things.
They really like the way is he looked in that one. Okay, we
have a lot of texts. They got it right. At least two texts
got it right. The correct answer for Francis McDorman winning three Best Actress Awards
or in Fargo and uh no, Madland and three Billboards over Ebbing, Wisconsin,
Ebbing, Missouri, a lot of place. We've got to take Missouri,
all right, put that on the list. I don't know why we're
doing that. Oh, I just oh yeah, I watched Speaking of a
one to follow, watch Poor Things. That is an e f and wild
movie. Man, what a ride. Right, Look when did you squeeze
that in over the weekend? Yes, Sunday, I think, okay,
Sunday, And oh I really liked it. I really did like it.
But it's God, that's a weird flick. But I love weird. I
love that that someone green lights this and like, screw it, let's do
it, and it wins awards and it gets it gets love. What a
It's like Frankenstein meets I don't even know. Yeah. Yeah, as far
as the way it looked, it's Benjamin Button. It's incredibly imaginative. Yes,
I got Alison Wonderland vibes a little bit too. Yeah, sure,
she's great, she's amazing at it. Yeah. Do you remember the scene
that I acted out in studio a week ago where I got on my hands
and knees like a crab. Yeah? Remember that scene? Yeah, it's
pretty good and murky, and then she grow it out. A fine question.
There's only one way to find out, Mikey, and I assigned this
job to you. I think I gladly accept, but I don't know how
you have to find that one way. Oh okay, you just give me
the tools to succeed. She did have a lot of sex. She had
sex every minute of that movie. I mean, it's NonStop almost and it's
as good as Ruffalo in that too. Geez, he loses his mind because
you know, oh boy, i'd been in him, and that I've been
him before, ye drinking and just add because you know, hammer in a
way losing money. I like the first half of the movie, maybe a
little more than the back half. Yeah, I get that, because I
did get a little lost, and then it ended sort of abruptly, and
I thought the ending would be different. We're not spoiling anything. I guess
a lot of people are still gonna watch it. But I just thought she
was just excellent. The idea of being a beautiful or gorgeous woman with the
brain of a little kid, and then once the kid reaches whatever mid teens
or wherever, the urges dig in and then realize, wait a minute,
here's a cucumber. Oh my god, yes, let's about that, the
self discovery. It's a wild it's a wild, wild story. And you
talk about the ending and this gives nothing away, but the way the movie
ended almost felt like the final fifteen minutes of There Will Be Blood in a
way. Do you if you remember when Paul Dano's character no spoilers, I'm
gonna watch this. It returns to Daniel day Lewis's character in The Bowling Alley
that he had at his home and the tension of that standoff. It kind
of reminded me of that. It takes a turn and it's it's a it's
a wild ride. It's a it's a very imaginative idea, very creative.
It's only something that could come from someone's mind. It's not based on anything
else other than what this guy dreamed up in his head. And I wonder
how he feels, you know, because you try to describe a dream to
somebody, or a thought or some wild idea. I'd love to know if
the final product, when he looks at it as a whole, how much
it lines up with the original imagination. Probably not that close. That inspired
the film. I wonder if it was a dream. It could have been
a dream, It could have been an amalgamation of a lot of things,
you know, a part dream, part imagination, part influenced by things that
he'd seen in other movies or whatever. But it's just such an original idea
and I love it. Part imagination, part dream. Full your ghos it.
You know, it didn't win Best Picture, but it kind of it
kind of has a somewhat of an imagination relationship with the movie that did so
well last year, Everything everywhere, all at once. Yeah, yeah,
in a way, I agree with you there. It's unconventional for sure.
Of all those movies that I watched, Bobby Barbie was my favorite of all
those, but Poor Things was my second favorite movie of all those watch although
I think Oppenheimer was the best one. Yeah, probably it's but the one
I like the most and would watch again, it's Poor Things. Oppenheimer is
the movie that traditionally what Hollywood and the Oscars deem the best film coming June
twenty first, twenty twenty four, Kinds of Kindness, directed by Your Goes,
starring Emma Stone, Well, m Defoe, Jesse Plemons, Margaret Qually,
Joe Allen and Moore she is his muse. Yes, yeah, they
went knocked that out a few years ago. She mentioned that on the smartlest
podcast. So this is kind of been ready and that's going to be gready
to go this summer. So there's that, don't miss it. Let's do
the most important thing in the world. Yeah, subjectively, objectively, subjectively,
but you would be wise to get on this boat now. Yeah,
stand on the pier for a few extra minutes and see a boat that I'm
interested in really boarding and just wave as you sail away bike Kevin, and
then we go inside do something else by Captain Turner. That's how you end
up like Bend and Skin, digging yourself out of your own grade. Kevin
claims that he's going to annihilate Bend and Skin at some point this morning eight
thirty. I also promote their appearance today though. Plucker's in Dallas on Greenville
Avenue, and I want to go to that. Get on out there.
It's dope. I'm worried about our station after what you're going to do today.
Oh yeah, fractures may emerge that can't be repaired. I think it's
posted. I think it's possible. It depends if we have any accountability from
the midday show. Okay, so quickly. This broke at nine o'clock yesterday
and I hit it and was intrigued because the parrot was beautiful. But a
guy by the name of Julio Ferrari had lost his fifteen year old macaw parrot
named Samba. It was up in a tree at Lake Louisville. They were
getting a photo shoot done on Sunday at Lake Louisville, and then big gust
of wind spooks the parrot. The parrot flies into a tree, couldn't get
it down. Every time of fire officials got there, it would fly away.
Now I'm gonna play you two clips of audio. One is gonna be
from NBC five, kind of live on the scene as it's going down,
and then I'm gonna get you the solution from CBS eleven in a second.
Here's NBC five yesterday. Alicia Barrera has been following the rescue effort and she
joins us live from Lewisville. What's the update, Alicia, hey r,
This was the fourth and final attempt on Lewisville Fire Department's part. They have
really, really tried, and we want to thank them because we did reach
out to them earlier. Today, I'm going to step out. I don't
really think you can see the bird from where we are, but he just
flew across the street from where we are. The only threat there were the
hawks that kept flying flying down. Now firefighters are tracking him down once again.
Come down, baby, good boy, Samba se' that's what he's been
doing all days, just going from one branch to the other, but never
down. Come on baby. So some of you might actually remember Samba.
It was back in twenty twelve that we reported on the time he was stuck
in a tree in Oak Cliff and that lasted three days and it all happened
because he was spooked by fireworks. Okay, okay, I didn't know this.
This is a repeat escapee. I'm telling you, guys. Everyone should
have been with me from the beginning. Wait, Samba did this before twelve
years ago. Yeah, I made the news in Mike's neighborhood. Yes,
wow, that's news to me, all right. So that's kind If they
had have called me, I would have gotten that parrot out of there in
less than ninety seconds. Okay, Now, I said Julie l It's called
Daisy Red Rider. Bam. Oh my god, yeah, I mean,
Julia, guess what I And then you don't have to have Channel eleven out
there wasting valuable reporters time with a microphone staring into a tree. Okay,
that was channel five of all. Second of all, I thought I had
laid the path so clearly to DoD take any shots at this story at all.
And now you what it's like, You're just signing up to be a
part of the damage that's gonna be inflicted at eight thirty, right, Like
you're standing next to the ward and we're all holding the rifles as the blindfolded
Ben and Skin show, we're standing up against a wall, and then you,
for no reason just set your rifle down, put a blindfold on,
and just walk up and just stand in solidarity against the wall like I admit
to being an accomplice in the murder? Right, why would you do that?
Fast? Well, that adds a little intrigue to the eight thirty segment
today. God, okay, let's go to CBS eleven comedy first responder Kevin.
Don't think anything that I say literally, So here's the job. What
happens. I had a text with Julio about eight thirty. He didn't respond
until a little bit like after the show, right, so we find out
he did appear on the Ben and Skin show. I'll have what you need
to know about that at eight thirty. Okay, now he is a success
story. The pear it was found and here's how it was found. CBS
eleven and front runner for Field Reporter of the Year. Now sorry, Jovin
Paniker, the twenty twenty four front runner is now This woman from CBS eleven,
a blood of pet parrot stuck in a tree near Lake Lewisville for three
days, is finally reunited with this family. Not even the Lewisville Fire Department
was able to get sanded down. This is the story that you're going to
share on your Insta, your Twitter, your Facebook, or your Facebook,
your ex whatever you want to call it nowadays. But our Caroline vandergriff is
the one who swooped in with the assist about an hour ago. I heard
in our meeting how you became part of the story. Okay, don't worry
about Doug Dunbar's pun swooped in. Just remember that Caroline Vandergriff is a star
now. And here we are all sitting down, gathered around the screens to
hear this story. His owner told me he was hungry, but he had
been trying to give him all this food. He didn't have anything left to
try. Well, you know, I'm a mom of three little kids.
I got snacks in my purse, I got snacks in my car, I
got snacks everywhere, basically, So I went to my car, grabbed a
little bag of Dorito's and we used that to learn the bird down. Slowly,
the owner was shaking the bag, offering little chips to this bird,
and that's when he was able to get close enough where he just finally snatched
him and grabbed him. I mean, this bird was stuck up there,
he was being attacked by hawks, he was getting tired, hungry, all
of those things. So to have him finally safe back in his owner's arms,
just you know, meant a lot to this guy. I keep water
in the car too, of course, so we got samba some water,
and he was feeling a lot better. His owner took him straight to the
vet after this to get him checked out. I will say it did make
me laugh because his owner said, you know, I don't normally give him
junk food like this. I love the mom move. It's just so classic,
dude, What mom doesn't have snacks? And the person the car stuffed?
Somewhere right exactly somewhere, I hear a phone ringing from the Dorrito Corporate
management and they want to talk to you. Okay, So Caroline vander griffins
CBS eleven the star, who's the who's the man on that? Doug Dunbar,
Doug Dunbar calling a lady. Dude, dude, d s dude,
That's what it sounded like. Somewhere I hear a phone ringing from the I
love the mom move. It's just so classic, dude. What what what
mom does? Dude? What mom? What mom doesn't have snacks? Putting
his skateboard underneath his desk? Dude? What mom? Red sweater and his
cap on backward? Yeah? That was Karen Borda. That was Karen Boro.
Well, what didn't you was it? Really? Well? That was
in the studio Hero She's an angel, true angel. Yes, boy,
what's your name? Our Hero of the Year, Caroline vandergriff Yeah, she
was passively reminding everyone that she saved the bird. Throughout that hit, she
did prinkle the bag of and then the the fire department had four different times
going to try to get it, and it would just fly off to another
tree. Imagine the fire department sitting at the station and the phone rings again.
They're like, yep, oh god, yeah, I don't we don't
know anything that you don't know. We have long ladders. What do you
think we can do now? She's like, not even the fire department could
get Samba down. What do they you know? I can extend the ladder.
But Homegirl's got a bag of cool ranch in the car and that was
the that cracked the code. Samba looks down like, sweet jeez, I
can get those sorts of snacks. Dorito's once in the last time off.
He's gonna be back up with the tree tomorrow because now he knows. It's
like, where's my where's my cool ranch? Daddy? All right, I'll
fly off now. See I get to be on the news. We get
the fire fire trucks out here. It's just fun this story. It's like
a little toddler. Yeah, there's fire trucks at Dorito's climate. This is
great surface level. I can see how a lot of people might be going,
Okay, it's just a bird. Okay, cool got his pair it
back. Im me, Kevin, I'm with you. I'm locked in with
you on this. This is huge. Well, Steve and I had reached
out. I mean I reached out to him at eight thirty while taking a
whiz at the iHeart bathroom. I sent him a message. He didn't respond
till after the show. But you texted him while you were urinating. I
I mean, dude, you got to be efficient in this business, so
sit down. So I was staying here posting the podcast right after the show,
and Steve gets a message back from him, and I get a message
from him as well, and he's going through with Steve, and it's like,
I've oh, I can't. I got to do a hit with iHeart
at eleven thirty because he was confused about who he was talking to. Me
and Steve were both talking to him at once. He didn't we're both working
for the same station. Point is Ben and Skin had Julia Ferrari, the
owner of This Bird, on at eleven thirty, and there's a whole chain
of events that have happened in the first hour of their show, questioning my
integrity, my journalism, my reporting, and then the interview happened with Julia
Ferrari and what you will see, I'm the most vindicated I've really ever felt.
And that's why I've had a little pepp in my step today. Yeah,
you know I've been. I mean, look, some days I come
in and just sit down. Some days I am the meat tornado. Today
I'm the meat tornado because I am so vindicated, and they will pay at
eight thirty. Okay, that's the meat tornado, Julia. Julia Ferrari sounds
like a character in Pixar's Cars two, like a foe of McQueen. Yeah,
he might be. He does f one driver for sure. He might
be the most badass guy we have in the Metroplex. And I am serious.
It's incredible. What's incredible. But I that story does not if I
don't sit here, If I if I walk out of the studio and go
post my podcast in another office area or wait till I get home. But
I sit here and did it here because I had to make computer up in
the internet. Was good. If I don't do that, they don't do
that story. And the reason they out of that story is they were making
fun of the story until eight thirty you'll get the rest. Don't miss eight
either. Jesus see that one I know about Come next. MAVs did stuff
Netflix making power moves and we do know what the dinner will be at the
Masters. Will you eat this? Yes? Next On ninety seven won the Freak
