This is a downbeat on ninety seven to one the Free universally one of the
just most feel good songs of our time. How could you be in a
bad mood? It's Thursday, the week is creeping to an end. You've
got a big weekend planning of fun times, but just weather that you need
to be alerted to. We'd have an early MAVs game to night six thirty
pre game at six here on the freaking I want to nationally televised or I
gotta stream this thing and look at naked ladies and gambling national man hell yeah
yeah, national taint, tint t and t yeah is in the tateya.
I love it before we get into like the scuttle butt stuff that I promise
you is way more captivating than the snake I sa on my backyard yesterday.
Okay, I want to finish this. Tony Pollard thought real quick please.
Tony Pollard said that he is open to taking less for the Cowboys, but
he's you know, obviously he's a free agent the Cowards. You're not going
to give him a franchise tack again, but what is the market for him
with running backs? Kind of you know, money shrinking team official told the
Dallas Morning News very anonymously, Pollard is going to get as many offers as
possible before talking to Dallas, but he will come back and talk to the
Cowboys. So if he gets nothing out there and he's like, oh yeah,
dude, if you guys will give me three and I was only getting
two or maybe maybe even equal value because it means more to be a cowboy,
make more being a cowboy that he would consider and if I'm the Cowbys,
I would consider this. This is the one thing I would say.
I'm so anti paying running backs, but if you could get Tony Pollard at
under four million dollars, that does not hurt you. Because I think Tony
still has a lot left. I think he had a badgery last year because
he's recovering from injury. Clearly have offensive line questions. Okay, that's they're
gonna have to handle. They're gonna be missing a left tackle at a center,
have to replace that, probably unless they signed the Oddish, which I
think would be weird. But I think Tony Pollard has enough left and his
stats, like advanced stats from two years ago when Zeke was still getting too
many carries, Tony Pollard was one of the best at yards after contact after
getting hit and broken tackle rate and things like that, plus the explosive plays.
People forget that year that he ran. He ran a kickback for a
touchdown late in the season in a game that mattered, and I think it's
still I think he still got it, But I think last year was bad
in your recovering of injury. It's the same thing we were talking about with
Terrence Steele and Michael Gallup. I think we're I think if you can get
him for super cheap, you should. If you could do that, and
you could get Zeke on the cheap, go back two years and just run
that back out. I could see them doing that, couldn't you. I
could see Zeke coming back. Yeah. Sure. Would Pollard be a one
year prove it or would it be? I don't think any run is any
running by getting multiple year deals anymore. I mean, Derek Henry's a free
agent. Sake One Barker is a free agent, Josh Jacobs is a free
agent. Tons of other running backs. Also, before you bring Zeke back,
draft a seventh rounder, just draft them there. They will be there.
Teams are also not spending up and drafting running back early either. They'll
do that on wide receiver maybe. You know, like teams, you will
have your the years that go by of just good running backs that were undrafted.
Pa Checko is my latest example of that is just like, yeah,
they're there. You don't have to you just have to get the system right
and those types of things. But I do think Pollard is good and still
has some explosiveness left despite what it looked like last year, and if he
would come back. I just don't see any teams oh yeah, yeah,
definitely Tony Pollard three years, fifteen million, three or twelve million. I
don't think that's out there, not for running backs anymore. Everyone has learned.
I think everyone has learned. So I just read something about the Cowboys
or one of the favorite teams to find a way to take Blake Korum Michigan,
the Michigan running back who won the Natty basically, and I said it
right after that game that he kind of reminds me of of Emmitt Smith in
college. And I don't know how late. I have no idea where,
I mean, no one's taking a first round or right, I don't think
so. I mean, I don't even know if he's second, third,
fourth. I have no idea where Bijeon might have been the last of his
kind there maybe maybe, yeah, but I would love that. And even
if it's like a second you know, like I'm okay with that. Maybe
that's stupid. I really don't know, but I just I think the dude
is just like a package of a very good running back that you can get
on a rookie deal for a few years. But yes, I don't generally
want to draft anything anywhere close to early, and if it takes a second
round or then maybe it's not worth doing. But I think, well,
I think he's gonna be good. It's also stop farting around and taking don't
take a tight end in the second round unless it's like, don't don't take
some guy who didn't have great production at Michigan, Like they took two guys
who did not have good production in Michigan and drafted them with the first two
bits last year. And drafting is generally not a thing we bitch about with
the Cowboys. So it's just that I want to wrap that up. Let's
just go to butt d You buck the showers and storms today, nothing very
severe expected throughout the day tonight, isolated storms could get big, could be
a little hail, could get severe. Head on a swivel tonight. Now
I was thinking about this tornado season. This tornado season now usually April in
May the most tornadoes around here. How many tornadoes were recorded across Dallas Fort
Worth in twenty twenty three. This is going to be a high number.
This is a trick question. It's either zero or three hundred. Yeah,
but then factoring Kevin's not too bright. I'm only doing this because it's an
interesting number, reading because he can read what I'm saying, because it is
an interesting number. O those are and do it's not good enough? I
want to I want to say, like some high single single digits is what
I would really think. Despite what happened yesterday in this segment, tons of
great stuff today. Yeah, we're a little gun shy with you in the
seven o'clock get Kevin's having one bad segment. And that's the thing. People
remember. They just remember your bloopers. You know, Kevin and seven can't
be trusted anymore. It's like it's like the President's they could say all these
things that you focus on their blue pers You stumbled once you fall down the
stairs off an air Force one, and that's what you remembered for. I
go with sixty nine tornadoes, Kevin Mike six higher, twenty nine nine,
fifteen Yes, fifteen minor tornadoes recorded in twenty twenty three across DFW counties.
Now in the past decade, your average of tornadoes per year in DFW past
decade, past ten years fifteen higher, sixty nine, twenty four higher,
thirty six, twenty nine lower, twenty seven, twenty six, five,
twenty five. I feel like this is a free fall all over. That
one the worse when it's the fifty fifty? Do I get to go home?
Now? Go home? Twenty five is your normal? No one,
I'll stay, We'll send somebody else out your last ten years? Twenty five
is the average number of tornadoes TWENTYFW counties. Huh, but in twenty fifteen,
the year of the most, how many were there the most? Ever?
Well? No, in the last decade, Oh, okay, twenty
fifteen, thirty nine, forty seven, fifty two, hire sixty nine,
whoa eighty two, seventy five, seventy nine, seventy seven, seventy six,
seventy six, nikey you get to go home, see you later.
So in twenty fifteen, seventy six tornadoes were recorded in the region, Man
and that was the going back to eighteen eighty, April and May or the
highest months for tornado count. But what's interesting about twenty five fifteen it was
the year of La Nina, which you guys probably didn't know stands for the
Nina. A forecaster from ACU weather said, North Texas better buckle up because
the upcoming season could be busy. We are transitioning from an El Nino to
a Vannina, dude, and that means larger tornadic outbreaks, producing more devastating
tornadoes. And it just goes to prove further that ladies are infinitely more evil
than men. Yeah, destructive forces. Yeah they are women. Women nothing
will take your money and sol faster than don't get me started on their driving.
So whatever we shooting for this year, I mean, what's your goal?
What's your tornado going? And would you be happy with seventy seven?
Luca? No, you want less because you got to deal with crap.
It sucks, Yeah, deal with all the bad things that could happen.
Obviously the worst die second your house, but especially yours that's made out of
hay freeze in the you know, the branches in the yard. Just not
like crap. You gotta deal with it. Sucks what Yeah, his house
is toasted, stiff breeze flies away like a Wizard of Oz, just flies
off. It's just Kevin standing in this this foundation where a house used to
be, next to a hole where a dishwasher used to be. Yeah,
and just swirling around him as all the snakes from his yard. That yeah,
he's standing there. He'd get sucked off his property. Well it's I
think that works better. You found a way to wedget in and if he
was on his roof, I would say sucked from his property. Just South
says, no one ever said what it were you right now, I'm in
an airplane. No, I'm on an airplanet. So when you're not on
an airplane, you're off an airplane. And if you walk off an airplane,
fine, and if the door flies open, then you get sucked off,
sucked out out sound. You're the one changing it. I'm the one
doing it right man, I'm in an airplane, I'm off, and you
could get sucked into an airplane, but not off of an airplane. Yeah,
I don't know. So look, I have how many people get storm
cellers, no safety room? No? Because the tornado deaths are generally I
always wanted this one natural disaster is any kind? I mean, then they'll
show I mean Florida, fine, hurricane flattened, it's terrifying, homestead is
a big one. And then there's generally not that many deaths, right,
And then I'm like, well, if anyone was in any of these houses,
right, wouldn't they all be dying? And then you hear the stories
of all right, we're just gonna tough it out, we're gonna stay at
home, we're gonna fight through this. I don't know how the death counts
are at higher for almost all these natural disasters, including a tornado. So
are these people getting in cars and running from like curious cavans? Thank you?
But I mean, how you should How many people get lifted off the
ground because of a tornado and don't die because they were stubborn and thought they
could handle it in their bathtub? Right? And then you see it and
the whole thing is decimating. There's nothing as a match. So are you
saying people were in that house and they survived let's be honest with the wood
shards, flying bullets of wood and metal and stop signs, and they tell
you to get a mattress and put the mattress. Dude, when you're field
signs, you didn't even mention those field signs street signs. That's the whole
thing, though, is they tell you, you know, you have your
basic rules, you know, lower level of the floor, but then you
get into a bathtub if you could, and then if you get a mattress,
I don't know, put the mattress on top. People roll the dice.
They're not going grabbing the mattress forcing it into the bathrooms. It barely
even fits. Throwing the mattress on top. People aren't doing that. You're
trying to move a mattress by yourself, and it's impossible. It's so hard.
They're so heavy and so dense. You're dragon especially doing well those memory
foam mattresses. Oh my god, so changing the sheets on my California King,
Oh every week, beating that a beating. I'm making room for you,
sweetheart, plenty of room, yeah, color, sweetheart. She's man.
Let him do whatever he wants. Look, she doesn't need the baby
talk. She's a powerful Hollywood weed. That's not gonna be a good way.
I'm trying to help. How I think we hear this more often than
not when a disaster happens, or we're always amazed that how that more people
didn't suffer or more people didn't die. You hear that that phrase thrown out
more than then. I can't believe how many people died. It's always and
look at this destruction and only four casualties. Why do you think that?
Because I think it's really hard Number one, I think it's really hard to
kill somebody. Yeah, I think humans are incredibly resilient, and I think
that they want to the fact that we're mostly spread out and look something.
Just because something hits one particular area, you missaid it yourself. The flying
debris is usually what gets people. Yeah, they don't typically get sucked up
into the tornado. So your odds of surviving one are probably it's not one
hundred percent guarantee that you're going to die if a tornado hits your house.
There are circumstances where a guy could be sitting there watching TV. The tornado
destroys his house and he's still sitting in his recliner and everything around him is
in shambles. Those stories seem to be more frequent, and then the stories
of death as a result of these natural disasters. Right, we're in danger.
If you're on your couch, you get sucked off. He ain't gonna
let it up, is he. You could be in your bed sucked off,
sitting on the toilet and sucked off. Tornado come through, sucked up,
sucked out of the house. That doesn't makes sense though, Like you
just hit the said off the couch, that's sucked from the couch. Just
determined to say that a lot of times on the radio and just aning child,
that's what you're doing right now. He's wanting to say naughty words like
my kid and look at me and smile and get a reaction. And I
won't stand for it. Okay, if I wanted to work with babies,
I'd be on the Bin and Skin show talking about teas. Ben said teas
yesterday, dropped the teas on the radio. Well, when does it start?
When does tornadoes? Many? Technically, tonight's our big, our first
big chance. Now it's not. They're not predicting tornadoes tonight, hail and
things like that. Was it also it's the visual thing too. We imagine
tornadoes as and there. The movie Twister might have helped this, but tornadoes
are fascinating. Rarely are they on the ground for a long amount of time,
and sometimes they don't even hit the touch a ground, but they do.
It's the wind damage that is really the scary thing. And you know
they more often than not land in places where nobody lives. Yes, but
it has hit a building in Fort Worth. This is where it's fascinating about
the Oklahoma City building that they're going to be building. The skyscraper that they're
going to be building sounds better. It's like, what is a bit of
a hazard considering your in Tornado Alley. Now, I have a couple of
theories. One, I think Tornado Alley has shifted to the east over the
years, just like I think our seasons have changed just a little bit.
I think it gets hotter later in the summer, more into September. I
think it's colder in winter later into now. This year is definitely a different,
okay because of La Nina. Okay, but normally it's still kind of
cold around here this time of year. Typically. Yeah, So I mean
I think there's a couple of things that are shifted there while also shifting east,
and we are rotating. If you think about that, it makes sense
that tornado alley would slowly shift east. That continues to make sense. I
feel like you're making all of this up. No, it's a theory that
continues to make sense. Is a great sentence. It does. It is
now, if you are smart, stay off freeways. But you got to
read a map. You know the term atlas shrug, but I've seen how
let's I simply shrug. You have a map on your that you can at
least see where the streets go if you have knowledge of the area. And
I recommend doing homework before I tell you to get in a car and run
away from a tornado. But I'm telling you your car goes faster than the
tornado goes normally, they're a forty mile per hour storm schools, though,
get on the road. You think I want a ticket, You won't get
a ticket. That tornado's bearing down on you. Findes are double. Take
your life into your own hands and make a difference today, is what I'm
saying. Yeah, if he's in a construction zone, he shouldn't speed either.
Kevin that's true, especially when workers are president not gonna be working during
that scenario that I'm presenting. Don't just sit there let the tornado destroy you.
It's good at your house, your apartment building. But you can prevent
death of yourself by carefully but also professionally driving on back roads away from the
path of the store. If you're accidentally going right toward the tornado, Kevin,
and you don't think so, it's not tornadoes and shop on the map
on your app And the truth is they have a mind of their own that
you don't know where they're going. And you might be think you're doing the
smartest thing. Guess what you're going straight toward. It could shift. But
these guys are pretty advanced these days, and they tell you here's the path
of the storm. It'll be here at nine seventeen, it'll be here at
nine twenty four, here at nine thirty one. Get ready, brecking ridge,
it's going to be there at nine fifty eight, like they say all
these things. So you kind of know, weezel my way out of the
path. What if you, okay, or sit there and take it now,
bend over and wait on bad things to happen. What if you just
how I live my life. What if you not just sit around life for
bad things to happen. What if you embrace the concept of eternal sweet relief
and you just want to stay in your house and whatever happens happens, and
it ain't a bad thing if you go. You consider that, Kevin,
you didn't consider it much. He lives in a house made of straw.
That's why he's all worked up. Because he knows a little wolf by and
blows just a little bit. Ninety percent chance of rain at noon today.
Loll up, everyone, gotta be a weird one. Little Piggy's going up
in the funnel cloud coming up next. Take care of you and your family
members like this Texter is. He said he had to help his uncle Jack
off the roof once. This is a great day got him next. The
biggest weekend of concerts the city has seen in a long time.
