This is a downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak. It's seven thirty
five. It's signed for Panda facts. The guys are China owns all the
pandas in the world. Yes, Any pandas you see in captivity in other
countries were either leased to their zoo or loan to the country as a sign
of diplomacy. Yeah, from China. Get we got one as a gift,
right, that's it started. And while the pandas are outside of China,
any babies that are born are the property of China. Even if it
was born in the San Francisco Zoo, it wouldn't be born in San Fchico
Zoo because the only pandas left in the United States or in the Atlanta Zoo
as it right now. So if you want to see a panda in the
United States, you don't have to go to Atlanta. Yeah, and I
recommend the aquarium. Are you taking yeah over the zoo. The aquarium is
bad ass amazing. Are you taking panda questions right now? I'm not right
now, but I will throughout the morning. Okay, I have a couple
I would actually you should save those for Chase Elliott eight ten good idea eight
ten, what are we gonna do? We'll you have ten minutes? That's
what Chase Elliott. Yeah, let's talk to him. See what's going on?
Man, My sources say he's so you you were fine with Chase Elliott
until some source told you that he may not be the most outgoing fella.
He've used the interviews as more of a job. Yes, and it is
a job. You think he's like, God, Okay, he's he's holding
some sort of schedule right now of all the interviews he has to do.
And you know what, then let's talk about that. Let's talk about what
a beating having to do these little interviews, this interview circuit is. And
how how little were you looking forward to calling in and talking with a bunch
of Yahoo's in a morning show. I'm sorry, I suppose that the NFL.
I don't know what to say, like me expecting to get VIP service
everywhere I go because I'm on the radio. No, no one knows what
the hell I am. You're Kevin Turner, You're ke Kevin. Here's the
scuffle, but brought to you by Advanced Hair Restoration. Mike. I was
excited about Chase Elliot until I heard what you did with Christopher Bell yesterday.
Now I just feel tension, absolutely too. I'm a little nervous to my
toe, a little nervous too. It's coming. Okay, lead with it,
Lead with it. I will. No, you lead with that,
and I'll follow up with panda bear questions. I like your question about his
media obligation. How big of a pain? Start with that? Yeah?
Please? Okay, because it setting up I learned that from one Norm hit
setting up guests. Yes, because he was incredible setting up guests. He
would essentially maybe overdo it. Read their bio. You know, he's a
twenty twenty NASCAR Cup Series champion. He drives the number nine chevroll. You
know I amming to do that. But I did learn that from Arm.
He's like, you know what it does? And I asked him about Norm
is great with radio theory and learned you know, you think I became this
level of broadcaster without some Hall of Fame training. Your baby Norm He's like,
what it does? He's like it lets the INTERVIEWE know before this even
begins that this is a person that cared enough about this interview to do basic
research and do their job. Yes, they do care about it gives you
you know, for look, we're not really looking for relevancy, I think,
and I don't really care what Chase Elliott thinks about us at the end
of this. I mean, I respect him. I'm excited to talk to
him. But you know, for norm for the last forty years, you
know, it's about you know, relevancy, quality and doing it well and
respect things for things that we don't have well, celebrities, athletes, celebrities,
athletes, relevancy, quality, respect, We're long the respect. We're
fine with that, right, are you sure well us our respected the guest?
Oh yes, well maybe not in this case, but ce some audio
from yesterday. Comedians, celebrities, athletes would do more media willingly if the
media did more research, thoughtful interviews, creative interviews, rather than lazy,
pompous, entitled style stuff, which is what a lot of people do.
That's what a lot of radio people do, and it sucks. A lot
of radio people are also looking for their big sizzle moment too, you know,
gotcha boomers and calling out Okay, Boomer, you can go away,
how about that? Just go away? Yeah, but that's what I guess
people like who wants Boomer I think Chase Elliott would be far more interested in
talking about his media obligations. And he won't say it's a w because you
know, he's a NASCAR drives more than anyone, and this is a pr.
It's a pr, a pr to try to assist in selling tickets and
tex Smortes Speedway next weekend, which is awesome and that's how this this world
works. But I think he gets whipped by the same questions. Of course
they do. Like I think Christopher Bell, I don't. Do you think
he was mad at us for asking too much about that Kyle Busch dust up,
because in his life that's the biggest story going on, is the wreck
and the retaliation. And I did ask him, but I did feel like
I felt like his power levels were draining as he continued to answer that question.
I didn't get that, you didn't know. I thought he handled it
in a different way. I actually thought he just really hates Kyle Busch.
Okay, and he SA's how I walked away with that, and I can
relate as a guy who hates Kyle Busch. Yeah, well, that could
have been a bonding moment for for you, for you and Christopher. What
I was wanting to pontificate on how we'd both seen days of thunder, but
he got around. Okay, stories, I got so much crap. Guys,
damn it, what's the weapon? Not yet? Come on, funny
audio momentarily, do you have any Panda facts? No? State officials are
warning traffic could be a mess on Monday, we have the first solar eclipse
since eighteen seventy eight. Hotels around downtown Dallas are already ninety nine percent booked,
according to a City of Dallas memo. Now, I don't know the
boundaries of downtown Dallas specifically, but ninety nine percent hotels book people are coming
to the city Monday. Get ready. You know what I think about these
these people. I'm gonna tell you what these are like the people that I'm
hard. They go through an entire Ranger season and they don't watch one game,
and oh, here's the playoffs. Let's get on the bandwagon and let's
go so me and then celebrate the World Series. And you know what you're
doing. You're coming to Dallas to watch the sun go away for a minute
because of the moon. But where's the love for the moon in its regular
season? Because I appreciate the moon. I text you, guys, hey,
you should go outside and look at the moon tonight and I'll talk about
what the moon looked like on the way to work. Did you see the
moon this morning? It was beautiful. It was awesome, bright, It
was a perfect crescent and just sitting so nicely in the kind of northeastern sky,
just a little bit above the horizon. It was awesome. I appreciate
the moon in its regular season. I'm just not here for the moon super
Bowl. Can I play on your analogy to you for a minute. Yeah,
yeah, Because on Saturday before the Rangers Ring the Ring ceremony and Ballely
did this. It was the first Ballely broadcast of the year and they did
a big tribute. Grooves is in it, Emily Jones, Mike Ryan,
all kinds of media people, and I was see, I consider these two
guys two guys friends. But it did irk me a little bit that Corby
Davidson and Bob Sturm were on the Ballely pregame thing. Corby because openly he
has talked about how few Ranger games he watches every year. Bob just because
he's not from here and grew up a Brewers fan like that shouldn't prevent him
from being on the thing, but just to see them. And then we
get to Rhyiner and Grooves and I was like, why, I feel like
Ryner and Grooves watched a lot of Ranger games this year. But do you
think Sean Bass was shunned by the team there? Oh wait, he got
the tattoo. Yeah, you get the talking Sea Bass. Yes, I
kind of think that tattoo's awesome. Yeah, that's huge. And he said
he would get the full box score of the World Series winning game and he
got it, and it was his first tattoo. Yeah, and it takes
up half of his back and he left room on the other side in case
they go back to back, so on his back he can have back to
back. I mean, he's got the attendance in the name of the Umpires
on his human body. I love it. That's incredible. Road congestion is
likely to be bad enough that Dallas has canceled trash and recycling pickup for Monday.
What yeah, so move it back because of eclipse. You know who
else is getting see it? We're so uh myopic understandably about ourselves. Cleveland
is getting a direct hit. Indianapolis is getting the direct hit and the best
one. As far as photos, we've got. Niagara Falls getting the complete,
pure, full coverage. It is Forworth getting a hit. That's what
I was wondering for Fort Worthian's gonna have to head head east a little bit
or do they just hang in and get get a good chunk of it they
I'm on science dot NASA dot gov. That seems fair. Slash eclipses cool.
I mean, if there's a better, if someone's more reputable than this.
Right now, Fort Worth looks like it's in the path of totality,
all right, I mean this band that we've seen right that stretches that is
totality. Correct. Tips from the city don't worry eclipse glasses while driving.
He thinks keep your headlights on because the eclipse will make it dark for a
few minutes there and then you're driving not paying attention or you get smashed into
two and four. All three is called the three some idiot truck drivers hanging
out the window looking at the eclipse glasses on glasses on verering lanes. But
also shout out to all of our truck driver listeners out there, definitely not
idiots. No, no, they're not negligence. They're not negligent because they're
spending their mornings with us. You're ready for the audio, Mike hod Actually
just skip it. I don't even want it anymore. Come on, man,
what is this the weapon of weapon? A mass destruction in Houston.
I'm gonna lay out the story for you first, and then yes, it's
too bad. This is just transitioning on, you know, moving quickly.
That's what we're doing here. Out of clips audio, possibly not yet Monday,
all right, hit me. So there's a guy who is hired to
do a few houses in this neighborhood. He's doing the lawn care, mowing,
weed whacking, doing all the stuff, all right. He notices a
group of men pull up in two cars and they start to take his equipment
out of his trailer. So he's got a truck and a trailer parked in
front of a house. Now he's working on another yard that's you know,
up up the street, a couple of houses down and on the other side
of the street. Yeah, because often these guys will knock out two or
three yards on one street. Park it there, do you in a good
space? Well, here comes two cars comes still his equipment. He starts
running after him. Okay, now they drive. He's trying to intervene.
He's got the weed wacker throws it at the car and one of the doors
are open. Hits a guy in the face. He falls out of the
car. Door was open. He falls out of the car. Pretty wild.
Now the audio of it is kind of crazy. And this is from
a new source. In Houston, neighbors along Renmark Lane say an older landscaper
helps keep multiple lawns looking good. He's our grass cutter guy, you know,
he cuts our grass. Adida Minaya is among those surprised. He was
targeted while on the job last Friday afternoon, and it was all caught on
camera. The victim walks into the street after spotting suspects at his truck,
and chunk says weed whacker at the vehicle as it swerves towards him. One
suspect, identified as twenty three year old Jirell Alexander, falls onto the street
from an open door. The landscaper wax off Alexander during a standoff while Manaiah's
brother is on the phone with police. After running outside himself, Alexander has
a hard time staying on his feet, but eventually he runs back to the
ret Si Dan he fell from him trying to protect his property, did what
his instincts stole him to do. We're starting to see more and more violent
crimes such as this, because not only was this a theft, but during
the commission of this theft, there were some firearms brandish and which ultimately made
him back off. A man neighbors say should be able to earn an honest
living without fearing this. It's hard earned money, and that's not right.
I hope that they get what they deserve. Okay, Okay, wow,
I mean that's a wild ass story, but there was a couple of elements
of it. It's a good in the middle. Yeah, there's a part
of the middle. But even before that, there was a woman mentioned,
and I was just so glad that it wasn't John Travolta doing this news report.
Did you hear that, damn Adina madel Or you hurt the info she
provided and cuts our lawn. Okay, and that was worthy of the audio.
It's how sad the story starts play that one more time landscaper helps keep
multiple lawns looking good. Got it? He's our grass cutter guy, you
know, he cuts our grass. Adda manaya is okay. So get this
this idiot who got hit in the face because he's trying to steal. He
got hit in the face and falls out of the car. Well, they
end up coming back and he's like trying to run away and he falls in
the yard. They end up coming back and he jumps in the car and
they go to the hospital to seek treatment. So he goes to the hospital.
They leave him. He's the hospital, he gets arrested. Good there.
The rest of the rest of the lawn wranglers left him fifty yeah,
and they're still under uh, they're under investigation. Investigations on the lamp.
That's good. That's good. Fifty thousand dollars bond. He goes to get
treated. Dude, you don't go to the nearest hospital. You out of
town. You go to your underground doctor who does breaking back actually a veterinarian
and kind of looks like I treat animals. I don't know you're going to
people down there. Then the gun gets put to his head and he's told
to do the surgery. But it's just a time. Yeah, I like
the run again. Just throwing the weed eater. See when you were starting,
I was like, oh, dude, he's going to turn this weed
whacker on and turn this guy's face into BARBERCOA. Yeah, it was a
What was the weird part of the other weird part of the audio? You
said you didn't he did? Nothing stood out to you and right there in
middle cav why don't you play it again? Beat identified as twenty three year
old Jirell Alexander falls onto the street from an open door. The landscaper wax
off Alexander during a standoff? Hold on, when would you do that?
Am I detecting it? Edits? Look at look at his smile? Come
on? What part part right where you stopped it? The landscaper wax off
Alexander during a standoff is edit. Yeah, you're sneaky. I don't know
what you guys talking about the original I guess I guess he's so cheeky the
landscaper wax Okay, here's here's what is thatunded like? The landscaper whacked Alexander
during a standoff? Oh you're oh you at the original? Original? Sorry,
okay, yeah, I've got the original. Here goes it's so hard
to forget all this stuff organized. You didn't know you were gonna get called
out, didn't you mean called out? Didn't called out? And you got
called I didn't detect the at it. I just thought the guy misspoke,
and that's why we were playing it. But Evan's fabricating games for comedy.
The landscaper wax off Alexander during a standoff. Okay, so you did you
changed the picture of his voice. Yeah, that was a good choice.
Actually, yeah, yeah, so there's that. That was interesting. Hugeton
the latest talent, low wickedly talented. He cuts the grass. You know,
our grass cutter. He cuts the grass, like establishing audio. That's
what they chose. Yeah, it's like she puts that that. You put
that woman up in front of a class and have her explained landscaping. Well,
guys, he cuts the grass. He's a grass cutter. He's a
grass cutter. All right, thanks, thank you. Oh my god,
that was Indian massage. He's a Grammy Award winning singer. For the sake
of time. Let's go ahead and get out us look good and get out,
man, Yeah, go ahead and get out, dude. You had
so much more I do. We'll do it. Before Chase Elliott, I
give, I do have an update on the Rashi Rice situation. Was he
