Is the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak all right, nine
oh five on the button. Monday, October sixteenth. You're listening to the
downbeat six to ten am each and every morning. Is this so cold as
hell out there? Fifty one degrees? Look at us? I ain't complaining.
Hell no, it was nip in the air. Beautiful. This weekend,
we're gonna get a high. It's gonna be sunshiny, and I have
like sixty six today. It's flawless, perfect. I love it. I
went this weekend. We didn't really do weekend crap. I want to tell
you Kevin Moore specifically, I took a jaunt on Saturday evening, afternoon of
the evening out to the new PGA in uh Crisco. That's where Christina sent
that picture from. I played the par three course, the lit ten whole
par three course, and it's heaven ten holes. That's beautiful. It's golf
heaven. And now it was a perfect afternoon temperature wise, it was beautiful.
But we went out there like five of us, and the longest hole
is probably one hundred yards. I don't know. Something like that. You
only need a sand wedge and a potter basically gambling. There's a drink station
out there on the course and one right at the beginning, cocktails in hand.
Strolling on a beautiful day. I expected it to be awesome, and
it was better. Beautiful. Ten holes you walk, you know, five
out, five back. Basically it takes like an hour, beautiful, lots
of people out there just having fun. Would you shoot? I don't know,
I want. We were playing match play, so I think I won,
or we're doing skins game. I think I won five holes or four
four holes in the back nine, but we got a little bit hot.
Yeah, but it was. It's incredible. If you're a golfer and you
haven't been out there, just go to check it out. I mean,
bring your girl out there because there's food in bev they're shopping. There's this
putting green that is so big, and even if you don't golf, just
go putt. I'm just like mini golf. It's so for free. I'm
dying to get out there. Oh my, it's it's it's golf heaven.
But sort of just is it an afternoon. It's an eighteen hole course.
They have two full eighteen whole course. Yeah, yeah, no, just
but this thing you were describing ten hole car three course. Oh okay,
so five and five five? Yeah for the public. Yeah, that's cool.
And it's lit. They have lights you can play. I don't know
what time they stay op until ten o'clock a night or something. Damn.
We were there right as the sun was going down. We watched a beautiful
sunset as we're just kind of walking and we have transfusions Tito's and some grape
juice. Just a great golf drink of the South. I mean it was.
It was kind of like heaven. We're like, this is perfect.
Thanks for the invitement. No, yeah, thanks. I like golf.

and let's have some effing fun on Friday. Yeah, you get to
leave the show early for this thing. I was thinking about that. What
say I just don't come in, let's talk. You have vacation days,
because I think who am I to stop you? Is the Rangers home games?
Play at three thirty? No? No, no, the home Friday?
I just play at three thirty Friday. What the Rangers three thirty Friday?
Do they not play Thursday game? Four Thursdays? If they close out
the series? Four? Oh? Yes? And it's the Cowboys. By
week two, I was totally sober, but I sort of drunkenly agreed,
and a friend of mine bought tickets to Thursday night's game, the three thirty
Ranger game. It's not a night game Thursdays three thirty. Yeah, oh
no, no, no Thursday. I'm sorry, you said Thursday game.
I'm sorry. Thursday seven pm? You're good? Yeah, okay, so
I'm gonna have a late one. Yeah, you're good, and then golf
for good on Friday. But you have to provide your own replacement. But
you want me to come here two hour and a half, two hours like
no, no, no, I'm just saying if you want to take take
the day off, but you have to come up with your own replacement.
I don't like them. Would have to be surprised. No, like a
SmartLess ski celebrity. Don't him choose people? No coming here, and it's
Captain Kangaroo or something weird like Captain cave Man, Captain gave Mark. We'll
discussed as the week goes forth how to best shake this out. On Friday,
all right, we are six and a half hours away from your Texas
Rangers starting Game two with the Houston Astros. But the first pitch is what
three thirty seventh? The Nationals begins in six hours and twelve minutes. That's
crazy, That's just crazy. Because they took a commanding one o lead in
Houston in a pitcher's duel with George Monty besting Justin Verlander last night and a
two nothing victory over the hated Houston Astros. Cannot wait for this afternoon's game
and then you get a very brief respite, provided this sucker doesn't go into
extra innings. And we got to turn right around and watch damn Cowboys football
after that? The what is it called the necessary uh commitment? Unnecessary commitment?
Commitment? You called the Cowboys an unnecessary commitment, that unwelcome commitment,
the commitment of watching Cowboys football time? All right, but typically on a
Cowboy game. And I will do this tomorrow. Is we do uh?
Or what is it? Dings? Things from last night's fling? Yeah,
and I didn't anticipate doing this for the Ranger game last night, but I
did write down a few items that I thought were interesting that I wanted to
share with you guys a little, just little quick hits. Maybe some could
spawn into some discussion. But first off, did we all enjoy the post
malone package? And could any of us really determine which side he fell on
if he is a Ranger fan or an Astros fan? Did you guys see
that? I did see it. I think he you know, was written
for him. He's right down the middle, just kind of blowing up the
Texas angle. I don't think he was picking a side there. I think
he's opened only Rangers fan, though I think he is too right because he's
from here, it would make sense that he's a Rangers fan, but I
thought that was interesting how he kind of played it in the middle. And
I wish that. I wish that these guys because I think Post he's probably
a lot like us, that we all kind of fall under the cliches of
the nation that you know, nationally people think of Texas as one way.
We know it's a lot more different than that and a lot more diverse,
and it's not just about you know, everything's bigger in Texas and cows and
guns and cowboys and all that. I wish that these guys would take ownership
of that and be like, you know what, I'm not saying everything's bigger
in Texas. I'm just not going to say that. Yeah, because they
would be like, okay, wait, well let me change that for you,
because what are you going to say no to Post Malone if he starts
taking a little ownership of the copy because the copywriter in New York, bro,
God, yes, hey, end it with everything's bigger in Texas.
Yes, wow, I would say no, I'm not going to do that.
I'm Post effing Malone. I'm I just opened the canes over the weekend.
You don't tell me what to do. No one tells him no,
I agree, we're modern. We're in Texas, that's right. And that
was minutes And I'm sorry if this is one of your things, but this
is minutes after David Ortiz showed up to the set on a horse, did
it? Yes, he did. Speaking of David Ortiz, when they got
that perfect group of stereotypes are a real timesaver. When they got that group
of ill fitting parts to be our Fox team for the ALCS man A Rod
looked like he had just been rescued from a burning house and had been treated
for smoke inhalation. What was up with his makeup? That's what he looks
like though charcoal. It's like they took Charles Old brickats and just just I
don't know, just non judiciously just swiped him around his face because they're I
mean, the botox element to him is real. You could tell, like
just a Rod, the more makeup his face has changed over the last ten
years. And if they're on TV and you can tell it's funny. When
they introduced him Hall of Famer Jeter, Hall of Famer David Ortiz, three
time MVP Alex Rodriguez and they can't say Hall of Famer about him, because
he'll never get in because he cheated covered with ashy chocolate pudding. But you
can tell it means something that he's the first guy they go to every time.
He looks so effing weird. This was in the first commercial break the
commercial, No this one, I'm gonna tell you here, not the Jeter
Wagoneer commercial. It was more of a promo. Okay, look, I
love talking about television. I love sharing stories about TV. People come up
to me and go, hey, man, you really need to check out
this show. People. We all talk about TV programs. Oh man,
Mikey's watching the Sopranos for the first time. It's so cool. Kevin turns
me onto stuff. I'm telling you guys about these British programs. I have
a million friends, I'm on Twitter, I have so many connections to so
many people. Not once, ever, ever, ever, in my entire
existence, has anyone ever come up to me wanted to talk about or recommended
or claimed to have watched this show. Who's watching the mast Sager America?
Oh? Everyone? What is it? Why is it there? And who's
watching it? It looks like the stupidest basket of crap I've ever seen in
my god forsaken life. Who's watching The Mask Singer? Okay, I'm not
seeking it out, but I have caught some of it before in weird circumstances,
like it being left on at my girlfriend's family's house after the Cowboys Thanksgiving
Day game, and then it's on, and you know what, it's not
bad. It's actually pretty good. Was there a reveal in yours that you
watched and we were all guessing, I think it's comedian, you know whatever,
name a comedian whoever you might think. Yeah, not Bobcat. Well,
actually bobcat is the Bobcat was Nicky Glazer. Yes, that's the comedian,
the blonde chick, Nicki Glazer. Because it's not a Listers ever.
No, remember the rumor that Tom Brady had had to be on The Mask
Singer. That's why he wouldn't. I don't know, commitment or something.
Maybe sing there. I can't. I can't get my head around. I'm
just reading The Mask Singer Season ten hits ratings high note. And you do
not like mascots, Yeah, I am a mask guy. Mascots, yeah
they are. They're just they're the stupid ask costumes. A costume guy who's
singing, Oh he's wearing a mask. The season career got a one point
one rating, which I feel like is pretty good. Sucking we got a
one eight. All right. Two quick things, two quick observations. I
don't know if you caught this little package, this little just you know,
in these big sporting events they do these little animation packages. And I will
say that based on what I saw, the Texas Rangers Saloon is the second
worst bar in the world. Next to the Rooms to Go Lounge, those
are two places that I never want to hang out in. Look, it's
cartoon of Aldie. Nope, did they do that? Was at a full
screen Ranger saloon? Why is every network taking like weird animation test Rangers Saloon?
And finally I wrote this down. Jose Bra looks like he probably has
his own line of cologne, but it's only available in South America and it
costs less than ten dollars a bottle. I think he's got a distinct scent
to him. Yes I do, Hispanics, Yes I do. He just
looks like he smells bizarre. There was the bench clearing brawl that KT predicted.
I would expect him to be in the center of it. You know,
there's there's a good chance when it goes down that the Rangers might not
want to mess with the and Jordan Alvarez unless they're armed with fastballs and can
throw it from afar and they can get Chapman and the Quirk and Max Sures
are throwing fastballs at him. They are bigger than us. That's a scary
looking bunch we're going to have. Carter's a little dainty. Leonti's getting bigger,
but he's still you know, skinny guy. Adutleast maybe get hold his
own. But he seems like a friendly peacemaker type. I bet Adules could
wreck shop if you want to. I've hat Seegers bigger and badder than maybe
he looks to though. I mean, he's six' four, he's huge.
Jonah heimche he's sixty three six four or something like that. He's big,
damn and he looks like he's real farm strong too. Such of giants
on our team, including our general manager. All right, that's all I
got from last night. All right, Well, let's transition into a mixed
nuts edition of NFL stuff. JJ, do you mind pumping up the audio
here? The Jets beat the Eagles yesterday twenty to fourteen. In fact,
we've got a uh Eagles loose, so five and one. That's good,
right, that's cool. We get a game on him tonight, we get
to get the division's still still out there. I could not understand. I
mean, I guess I do understand it. I've just never heard an NFL
be described as this before. This is Mark Sanchez color commentator. He's a
little wild ass. Sometimes he'll randomly throwing curse words. But here he is
describing how hard it is to bring down Jalen Hurts and the Jets defense gets
the three and up. I mean, are you kidding me? They can't
get this guy to the turf? Jalen Hurt What is he? I mean,
it's like a salmon covered in vasoline. Bro, this guy's just too
slippery. He refuses to go down. A salmon covered in vasiline. Bro.
Bro, I gotta like a good Mark Sanchez game. It's crazy.
You never know what he's to say. A salmon covered in vasoline. Yeah.
I enjoyed him yesterday. Yeah, because I don't even know who it
was, but somebody was saying some wild stuff. A nice piece of fish,
games like a salmon covered in vasoline. Bro, this guy's just too
slippery. I mean, I get what he's saying. It actually makes sense.
It's just weird to call a person that. It's kind of like it
what was the thing from Anchorman when when he had the cologne and it smelled
real bad and they're describing it. It's like a turd covered in burnt hair.
It's just like bigfoots d Yeah, it hurts. By the way,
had a one of the most incredible throws ever. Do you see the one
where they had his left arm and he was running out of the pocket and
they were draped on him and somebody was holding his left arm and he just
one arm. He was only like a twelve yard game probably, but he
just hit a dude perfectly in stride rate going out of bounce. Incredible throw.
He's incredibly amazing. Yeah, they're good still, but you know the
Jets are gonna keep it up. They're gonna keep it going for Rogers,
and their defense is tough. Man, even this as tough. And Zach
Wilson, look, he's bad, but he's better than he was and maybe
it's just being young quarterback. You let him play and they can grow into
something. The Commander's run in Tobe of this game is Commander's won twenty four
to sixteen. So they're three and three, and just mentioned them because they're
in the division. And the Browns beat the forty nine Ers nineteen to seventeen,
and that game has the forty nine ers losing their first game of the
years. They're no longer it's just them. The Eagles both go to five
and one. Detroit wins to go to five and one, and there's your
NFC race. The Cowboys need to win a night to stay at four.
It too four and two. Kind of stay connected there. Christian McCaffrey and
Deebo both got hurt. The Browns defense is kind of insane. Five games
they've only allowed a thousand yards. They're giving up like two hundred yards a
game like that's going. They won that game without Deshaun Watson too, like
Sean Watson got hurt, and it's almost like no one talked about it because
it's the Browns, I guess. But some guy named PJ. Walker comes
in the former XFL dude and there they are. So oh, another one's
interesting. I found some nuggets on this. This bears backup quarterback. So
the Vikings beat the Bears yesterday, and there were reports all week that the
Vikings were having fights at practice and the coach was threatening to mention anyone who
fumbles like Denzel Washington and remember the Titans. But the Justin Fields hurt his
hand. So Tyson Badgeant or Bagent came in to play back up his undrafted
guy. I found out some stuff on him. Okay, his dad,
Travis Bagent, is a twenty eight time arm wrestling world champion seventeen championships left
handed eleven championships right now, WHOA, that's impressive. He considers himself to
be on the Mount Rushmore of arm wrestling. Considers himself to be In an
article, he said, it's like the Mount Rushmore of quarterbacks, with Tom
Brady and Peyton Manning, and then you can figure out the other two in
arm wrestling. I'm one of the first two guys on Mount Rushmore. That's
the Bears. No name backups. Dad, Look, I had no idea
who this guy was. We went to the Gamer. I was like,
what I know? He came back and won it. So Vikings still sucking
there two and four. We haven't right handed in seventeen left handed ire just
on an arm wrestler, your strong armed guy, you gotta be strong with
both or he does you want more money that way? I don't know.
Dolphins killed the Panthers, Jesus, Panthers zero and six? Do we need
to start talking about them being an oh and seventeen contender? Holy cra I
guess maybe? And they were up fourteen nothing in that game. Panthers are
up fourteen zilch and the Dolphins went, I don't worry, Okay, fine,
we'll play Jesus. Tyreek Hill's freaking you see what he did. He
scored up a long touchdown, He grabbed a cellular phone and back flip while
videotaping himself. Let's kick ass. It's really good and the video is awesome.
And the guys, did you see the actual video of the guy's phone.
No, it stops. It's unfortunate that it stops, but it ends
with Tyrek Hill's face in the phone mid air in a backflip. Oh I
did see that? Okay? Yea yeah, because the car or the phone
thought he was in a car accident, and the Sharks off off and called
ny on one. He's insane. Yeah, that's about enough Detroit wins.
That's enough to that's enough to get us. You didn't mention the Cardinals or
you did? Uh? Cardinals? Also? Yeah, Rams twenty six,
Cardinals nine. They're one there. One win is against Dallas. How does
that make sense? How a second the year might end with them with one
win? Yeah, and it's against us, and that went. I'm told
you that, guys just two weeks ago. That's gonna be the one that
will be the one that they look back on and go, God, bless,
how did we lose to them? On? And the Rams are three
and three? Just got Cooper Cup back. Cooper Cup's been good. We've
talked a lot about Pooka Nakoula, who still gets a third of their targets
as well. And it's like Cooper Cup and Nicoua and whoever else they got
enough. The Rams aren't terrible, No, And that is who the Cowboys
will play out of the bye week. So we'll just think McCarthy will have
two weeks to scheme to do some wild ness for his offense to face the
Rams. We'll see. Man, watching the Dolphins game makes you go,
Okay, I get they have the weapons, but just watch the plays.
I mean, like, I'm a Packers fan. The play design they have
is great. They have just bad players. There's nothing that will make the
Cowboys offense look less dynamic than essentially being me who watches every snap of the
Dolphins Yeah, and then immediately switches to Cowboys Monday night. It's like they're
basically running the veer right. Well, as a Packers fan, I went
from McCarthy to Matt Lafleur and went, holy cow. Yeah, well we're
doing cool stuff now. You know, I have a feeling that Kevio is
not going to be satisfied until the Cowboys offense looks like six man football.
Yes, it should, it should look that way. It should. Okay,
let's take your messages from the iHeartRadio app. It's the red microphone button
and we call it the hot mop where you can join in with funny bits
of thirty second voice meil or we can fact check check us. You can
call us out if Danny said had something that pissed you off, then you
can get on there and eat Danny out. What chew him out? Rephrase
that, Well, it's a phrase. You're gonna have a bunch of masked
singer defenders loading up the Oh Boy
