00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.080
You're listening to the downbeat on ninety
seven to one. The Freak were our

2
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.720
Speakeasier friends Jeff and Juliet join us
at nine. Danny, what's coming up

3
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:15.679
in Dingo's Morning News. We have
a pretty big celebrity death and uh Andrew

4
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:22.519
Wuk gets a party started with boobs. Oh yes, boobs and ass hot

5
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:27.160
hot uh. Eight thirty Dingoo's Morning
News. MAVs won last night. We

6
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.920
are the home of the MAVs,
of course. Mavericks improved to fifteen and

7
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.159
eight, now two and a half
games back of the one seed in the

8
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.799
Western Conference. Pretty impressive when you
consider just a little over a week ago

9
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.840
they looked like they were in the
middle of a pretty big slide. Yeah,

10
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.200
they were coming sliding a little bit, but they've got it together by

11
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:49.719
winning four straight and so fifteen an
eight, two and a half back of

12
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.880
the one seed in the Western Conference. The one seed in the Western Conference

13
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:58.679
is your Minnesota Timberwolves, who the
Mavericks play tomorrow night. So it does

14
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.560
not get much easy year. They're
fun too, with Anthony Edwards and and

15
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:08.439
Karl Anthony Towns of course, and
they run Rudy Gobert out there Uh,

16
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.719
so that's gonna be a good one
tomorrow night. You can hear that game

17
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.000
here on ninety seven to one the
Freak as well. And if you missed

18
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.200
any of our math stuff, we
talked about him at six point thirty look

19
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:25.400
out Duel Lebron last night, so
very very nice. So here we got

20
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.959
Luke said two after the game,
he said, everything hurts, I'm getting

21
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.879
gold Man. It was like,
oh, but there's that. I bet

22
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.840
he didn't hurt as much as little
Timmy Hardaway though, well, Tim Hardaway's

23
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.400
back his his cockys has got to
be hurting. I don't know if I

24
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.840
said it right. Coxsicks Cox six. I believe that's correct. Yeah,

25
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.079
yeah, gotta you heard he took
so many charges. So there's that.

26
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.319
Gotta do some year and stuff back
on Monday, we'll have JJ's top ten

27
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.599
movies of the year. We did
some songs and stuff yesterday. Today we're

28
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.400
doing the top ten twenty twenty three
TV shows. TV shows that had to

29
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:07.560
have came out into twenty twenty three
calendar year. And Danny and I are

30
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:14.719
both big time TV officionados. I
think probably I watched less than I used

31
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.280
to because i've morning show you know, so not all the time, and

32
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.439
I like to work at night.
So I bet this happened to you when

33
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.360
you were compiling your list. Because
I had to, I ended up doing

34
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.000
a search of TV shows that came
out in twenty twenty three just to kind

35
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.919
of helped jog my memory on stuff
that I saw. I don't know if

36
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.360
you did that as well. I
did, But man like reading reviews of

37
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:46.240
stuff that either I don't have access
to because I being a Rokuse subscriber,

38
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.439
I can't add the Apple Apple Plus
app to my screen. I have to

39
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.919
do it on my computer. So
I've never watched anything on Apple TV.

40
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.120
I think there's a lot of stuff
on there I'm missing out on, And

41
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.800
just like so many shows that sound
so good that there's just not enough time,

42
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.800
you know, to consume at all. I feel like I feel like

43
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.280
the show. I feel like I
watch a lot of television, but I

44
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.759
also feel like the shows that I
have watched kind of only scratch the surface

45
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.080
of what's really good out there.
Yeah No, And I kind of I

46
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.719
get mad at myself when I miss
stuff that people talk about and I'm like,

47
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.000
I just didn't do it, and
I just didn't jump in, and

48
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.439
it's like, if you just do
it and get started, then it's on.

49
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.319
But it takes that push and you
never know how much time you're gonna

50
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.840
have. Football season doesn't help when
there's a lot of football going on and

51
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.479
a lot of stuff happened. Falls
a busy season, like summer's a good

52
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.319
TV time. But either way,
we had a big strike and all that,

53
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.599
so there's less kind of it seems
like there's less shows than usual,

54
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.919
and there'll be more kind of picking
back up for next year. But I

55
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.039
like to kind of wrap up the
year this way. So I think the

56
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.719
way I kind of want to do
this, let's just go back and forth,

57
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.319
starting at ten and work our way
up. Okay, you want to

58
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.120
go first, you want me to
go first, You to go first,

59
00:03:54.199 --> 00:04:00.159
Okay, number ten. And I
think the only reason I have this this

60
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.240
probably would have been a couple of
slots higher. And the reason that I

61
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.560
put it at number ten is because
it's in the middle of a season.

62
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:12.879
It's incomplete, and episode five dropped
last night on FX, and I'm talking

63
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.720
about the latest season of Fargo.
I know that you are watching this as

64
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:24.519
well. I find so far five
episodes in this is, in my opinion,

65
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.120
if not the best, it's one
of their best seasons so far.

66
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.199
I love it. The casting is
great, the story is great. It's

67
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.160
got all the quirks and weirdness and
goofiness that you would expect from from the

68
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:41.959
franchise, and they're hitting the damn
mark. I caught up last night too

69
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.399
and did watch it. And for
those of you who haven't seen Fargo,

70
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.120
you know it's a play on the
movie a little bit. Each season is

71
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:53.759
different, loosely related at times,
mostly standalone, and they've kind of gotten

72
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:59.240
away from that over the years.
Too fantastic, And I'll save any other

73
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.800
comments I have for a uh number
ten for me, Danny. It's gonna

74
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.600
sound crazy that I'm putting this here, but I'm putting only putting this here

75
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:14.040
because they had a really good season
Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which I know

76
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.920
everyone talks about, like, hey, it's as show that you know has

77
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:23.160
been on forever. But and maybe
it's because I started listening to their podcast

78
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.720
too, so I was kind of
fifteen and this was I believe seventeen seventeen

79
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.120
seasons. That show was so funny. Yes, I'm sorry, it was

80
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:38.759
a season sixteen and they had a
season that was you know they've of course,

81
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.120
when you've been on for sixteen seasons, Yeah, not every season's gonna

82
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.680
be a masterpiece at some point,
and it's seen maybe a little bit of

83
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.720
a drop off. I'm a fan
of the show, so like I'm gonna

84
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.279
be a little biased to the way, but I was like watching their podcast

85
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:56.600
where they're rewatching episode one, i
mean season one, two, three,

86
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.839
four and doing it. But they
were also did a few episodes with their

87
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:01.240
while they were in the writing room, so I had a little bit of

88
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:05.000
insight into it. But there's a
couple of things that were great. And

89
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:11.800
there was one episode that was about
a Chuck E Cheese type place. It

90
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.879
was called Risky Rats, where they
were going back and it's the same things.

91
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.639
For some reason, I got obsessed
with that a couple of times of

92
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.000
Chuck e Cheese and there was a
big John Oliver piece on it, and

93
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.959
we were talking about maybe going to
a Chuck e Cheese and they just hit

94
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.839
on the idea of once it's not
the same because they've got rid of the

95
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:32.560
animatronics and there's a big scene where
Dennis and Charlie always liked this one it

96
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.000
was like, you know, would
be the bird character maybe here I was

97
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.279
like, she had just these amazing
boobs. And they go back to the

98
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.959
Amatruks. They want to go see
her the animatronic but it's basically just the

99
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.879
nostalgia sucks getting old. And they
did an episode to end the season basically

100
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.759
Dennis takes a mental health day and
you know, and the other ones are

101
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.519
ganging up on him for the stigma
and he's like literally going through it and

102
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.319
it's a good commentary on mental health. It sounds weird. He was like

103
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:05.639
a off key episode for them,
but always Sonny had a great eight episode

104
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:12.879
season. They get the number ten
spot. Awesome number nine. This television

105
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:17.199
show I think this was on Disney
Plus believe it or not. And I

106
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:24.240
don't know anybody that watched this,
but I freaking loved it, starring Lizzie

107
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:30.439
Kaplan, Jesse Eisenberg, and Claire
Danes. It's a show about a forty

108
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.959
something recently divorced doctor and he's trying
dating apps for the first time and he

109
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:43.040
starts finding romantic success that he was
never able to achieve in his early years

110
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.480
when he was you know, going
off to college and trying to become a

111
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:51.839
doctor. Well, his ex wife
ends up disappearing without a trace and leaves

112
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.079
him with their twelve and nine year
old kids. She goes off and just

113
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.079
kind of goes nuts and I can't
take care of the kids. Leaves this

114
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.319
guy who's in the middle of this
crazy dating app, you know, rediscovering

115
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.040
his life, and now he's got
to have this twelve nine year old in

116
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:09.240
his house. It's so good.
It's very human, it's very heartfelt,

117
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.839
it's very funny, and it's called
Fleshman Is in Trouble. I don't know

118
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.560
anybody that watched this. It was
one of my absolute favorites of this year.

119
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.120
Watched three and did It's kind of
forgot about it. I was not

120
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.720
getting a lot of stability on the
home front there, so you know,

121
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.959
that's how it goes. Sometimes you
gotta watch the show with I could see

122
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.440
that watching this with a couple as
a couple, especially if you're at or

123
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.360
near this age group that is being
represented in this show, Yeah, could

124
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.000
be awkward and uncomfortable. She didn't
love it. I love Lizzie Kaplan,

125
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.000
saying I love she steals the entire
show. She is phenomenal in this.

126
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:54.879
I also love Adam Brody and he's
got kind of the fun, you know,

127
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.639
fun role in that show too,
But I quit after three. I'm

128
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.440
gonna get on that. That's gonna
to be a holiday duty for me.

129
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.799
I love it. Cavn in Trouble. Number nine for me, I think

130
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.039
you should leave sketch comedy. Yeah, but it's six episodes. They're all

131
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:15.440
about ten to fifteen minutes long.
Worth it alone this season in my opinion,

132
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:16.639
for season three, although I do
think season three was the weakest of

133
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:22.159
them, but worth it alone for
the house party where he's telling the guy

134
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.080
stop talking about your kids, and
this is the brainschild of what's the guy's

135
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.879
name? His name is Tim Robinson, Tim Robins, who was a you

136
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.360
know writer on Sarah Alvil's Castme Life
for one year. So funny, so

137
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:39.120
weird, so offbeat, so bizarre. Yes, it's if you like this

138
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.720
show, it's that brand of humor. Yes, and go watch all three

139
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.639
seasons. Just go do it.
And it's not a time commitment. Literally

140
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.320
each episode's under fifteen minutes long.
So that's my number nine this year,

141
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:56.080
they're very very good. Number eight
for me would be the Paramount Plus's mayor

142
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.919
of Kingston Kingstown. Now this is
the Jeremy Renner vehicle, and the premise

143
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.639
of this is he is what you
would call an inmate advocate, and he

144
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.320
lives in this town called Kingstown.
It's like I think it's like in Pennsylvania,

145
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.399
but the city is basically supported by
the prison system where they the city

146
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.240
is home to within like a three
mile radius, they're like five penitentiaries.

147
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:26.120
So prisons we all know, are
very big business and the city survives on

148
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.519
the business of prisons. And what
Jeremy Renner is, he's like an advocate

149
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.679
and his role he helps inmates and
their families navigate their sentences. And he's

150
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:45.639
kind of placed in the middle of
this increasingly savage conflict between law enforcement and

151
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.559
it's the factional prison system of the
of the neighborhood, of the of the

152
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.639
of the city. So he's kind
of the go between, go between,

153
00:10:54.039 --> 00:11:00.440
the liaison between law enforcement. He's
cutting deals, he's dirty, but he's

154
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.320
kind of a good guy, you
know, he's a he's it's what basically

155
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.960
all great protagonists are, or I
guess maybe they're antagonists. I'm not sure

156
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.600
how you would describe them. But
the people that are they do bad stuff,

157
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.600
but they're heroes, you know.
But it's really really good. It's

158
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.879
incredibly gritty. It's not great,
but it's it's it's really hard hitting,

159
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.840
very gritty, crimey TV col Chandler
two, right, uh yeah, well

160
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.120
yeah for a bit, yeah,
h oh uh. Number eight for me

161
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.759
The Curse on Showtime incomplete anably.
I think they're through five episodes, but

162
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:41.320
the first two episodes alone and the
third one was a little you know,

163
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.840
for the first two episodes alone,
I'm like, Okay, this is gonna

164
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.679
be amazing. So I don't know
where it's going still, and it's kind

165
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.759
of impossible to explain on radio quickly. The Curse on Showtime. Number eight

166
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.759
for me starring in the Stone.
Yeah. I like that show a lot

167
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.639
too. I haven't finished it ort
or got a to speed. I think

168
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.799
I watched either the first or the
first two episodes, but it's something that

169
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.279
I will definitely revisit. Number seven
for me is Hbos the last of Us

170
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.320
Pedro Pascal, the little gal from
Game of Thrones what's her name? Can't

171
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:22.399
remember anyway, It's basically their journey
across America to get this little girl who

172
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:28.840
basically holds the antibody that protects you
against zombie attacks. Yeah, it's so

173
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.440
much more than a series about zombies. In fact, the zombies are are

174
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:37.799
something that are kind of an afterthought. You don't really have a lot of

175
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:43.200
zombie warfare, which you do in
shows like The Walking Dead. It's more

176
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.759
about the relationship that develops between this
fifty year old man and this younger,

177
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.360
this young girl that he has kind
of been awarded the guardianship of to make

178
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.240
sure that she arrives safely to this
clinic that is in the western part of

179
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.919
the country to you know, find
an antidote to uh to to ward off

180
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.200
zombie attacks. But it's really really
mindful, it's really good and uh and

181
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:09.480
very human as well. Bella Ramsey, Bella Ramsey yep, yep. I

182
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.039
was kicking myself on that. Thank
you, JJ, You're number seven.

183
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.799
Number seven for me is going to
be the righteous Gymstones on HBO. And

184
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.159
look, this is a show.
I didn't really love season one of this

185
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.879
show. I liked aspects of it, and then season two it got better,

186
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.759
and then season three it got even
better. I've still got it in

187
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.639
Q. I haven't gotten to it
yet. I think it's pretty funny,

188
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.519
and I've heard from everyone that season
three is baffo. Can't wait. It

189
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:41.240
gets a little better. They enact
a kind of a White Power Malicious featuring

190
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:45.879
Steve Zon and Stergil Simpson. Yes, so once you add that aspect to

191
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.960
it, it gets really really insane
and uh yeah, yeah, I just

192
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.240
I can't believe it's getting better,
but it is. And it starts to

193
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.960
lose the tone of your classic Kenny
Power show the more and more it goes

194
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.679
on. So yeah, number seven, my number six was number one on

195
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.360
pretty much everybody's year endlist. And
that would be HBO's Succession. I don't

196
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:11.799
know more you can say about this. Everybody knows about Succession, even Sleepy

197
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.919
Joe. Uh but Succession, it's
one of the it will go down in

198
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:24.679
the pantheon of iconic HBO series.
It's about a mega media company. Basically,

199
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.720
it's kind of uh loosely based on
is it Robert Ales? Uh yeah,

200
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.000
I think so. Yeah, kind
of like the guy that owns the

201
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:39.440
f this fictional Fox News. Maybe
it's Murdoch Ales or an amalgamation of of

202
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.440
all of those people, the Ted
Turners, whatever, But it's these guys

203
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.559
that is this guy that is is
the CEO of this massive, massive media

204
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:52.559
corporation, very uh right leaning,
and he's got three children four I guess

205
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.240
one, two, three, yeah, four kids, and they're all just

206
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:03.320
pretty useless and trying to find their
way in the company. And man,

207
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:05.200
I did not love this show when
it started. As a matter of fact,

208
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.360
I watched a couple episodes and quit. I went back to it,

209
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.360
and when I went back to it, I realized what this show was really

210
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.080
about, and I fell in love
with it. And it is so good.

211
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.120
It's not my number one, but
it could have been. Uh yeah,

212
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.200
no, I love it and I
will have it later. Number six

213
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.519
for me, a show that will
end up in my top ten of all

214
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:31.000
time TV shows probably, but it's
last season was its weakest season in my

215
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.879
opinion. Season four of Barry on
HBO. That's number six for me.

216
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:39.960
I love the show. Barry could
have all and Berry. Barry could have

217
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.360
made my top ten. I think
season one and two of Barry and really

218
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:48.720
even season three just hard to top. But number six for me this year

219
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.519
because there are five shows that I
liked more than that. Yeah, that's

220
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:56.279
crazy. In the top five.
Next, let's see the Top five.

221
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.639
Next, I've got some good stuff
for morning news and if we have time

222
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.480
to get to it, great or
not, they're things that will definitely say

223
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.639
for tomorrow. So yeah, let's
do our top five top TV shows of

224
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:11.240
the year twenty twenty three. Coming
up next right here on ninety seven one The Freak
