You're listening to the Downbeat on ninety seven to one, The Freak and now
Sports at seven. How late did you guys make it last night in the
MAVs game. I made it to exactly halftime, and I clicked off and
then I just slumbered until hell fire hit my house? Did that hit you
guys? Not bad? Actually, I was in the middle ground. I
didn't get much hair a little bit overnight. But the big stuff which is
happening at like seven pm last night up in yeah, Prosperuslana No Big Ben
Territory. Wait, I don't think that's Big Bet. Oh big Ben.
I used to call that Big Bend. I didn't get touched by any of
that weather until sometime between I don't know, midnight and four, and it
was just a little bit. It's a pretty good rain. Woke up,
it was loud, and I think there was hail. Yeah, I got
a little hail, small hale. You know, I did last night first
maybe first time ever. So I don't even know what time halftime was,
ten o'clock. Halftime was, yeah, ten thirty. You know, sometimes
when you do the shift, you'll wake up and like panic, like am
I late? You know, and you check your clock. Hell, now
go back to bed four more hours, right, I had that. I
looked at my phone in a panic, and it was eleven thirty. Damn.
It was the first time I had the pre midnight wake up. It
did look extra rested today. Really, yeah, I did the I watched
until half and then like, you know what, I'm going to take a
shower tonight as opposed to in the morning. Took the shower, got in
bed. It's like, I'm just gonna check in, just see, you
know, they're probably somewhere in the middle of the third and it's close,
and then it gets to like eleven. The MAVs are down by eleven,
and they close it to within two at the end of the third. I
stuck all the way through the third quarter and went into the fourth until it
was about eleven ten, and I realized, if I don't shut this damn
thing off, I knew it was gonna happen, because it got back down
to like an eight point deficit, Like they're going to keep this thing close,
but they just don't have enough to finish this game with a win.
And it's exactly what happened. I mean, what they lose by six.
I think ultimately I turned it off and just trusted in my thunder, my
Oklahoma City thunder, that they were going to do what they were expected to
do, and went to sleep. You got around five ish, less than
five hours of sleep. But I tried, and I'm telling you had had
it been tied at that point, there's a greater than zero chance that I
would have stuck with it till the end and just suffered. Today did the
thing where I stipped till halftime and then watch the first part of the third
quarter, and then when they which to break halfway through the third quarter,
I said, you know what, tend to get up, lay the clothes
out like I always do in the other room, you know, so I'm
not noisy in the morning. Five. I don't want to wake her up.
Oh okay, Yeah, it's a courteous thing. I'm going to wear
my pretty green pants with my red hood. Yeah. You wear the same
thing every day though, pretty much. Put my keys, my wallet,
and my pills and my hat. You know, you put them in your
hat. Yeah. So I got a whole whole You got a method,
and it's all based on not waking her up. It's kind it's yeah,
it's a nice thing. You don't kiss her goodbye when you leave. Hell,
no, she don't want that. Don't wake me up. Have you
asked her if she wants it? No. See, that's the difference.
So if I leave without doing that, it's it's like, wait, why
did you leave? You didn't we go with the nice and a hug and
have a great day. Yeah, that's why we don't. That's why they
have a dishwasher and you don't. That's the well. I mean, I
could have a dishwasher if I wanted it. I don't think you could.
But I like to wash the dishes by hand to remind myself that not everything.
Yeah. Actually yes, This point is so you get in, you're
brushing your teeth. Okay, so you're standing in the living room brushing teeth,
about to go to bed, watching game, and you know what,
I'm gonna watch fourth quarter in bed, lay down in bed, and full
narcalliptic. Kevin took about two minutes. I was out. Yeah. Gone,
This is the good thing of narcolepsy. You're done real quick. You
get any type of comfortable position, you're done. I'll tell you what though,
considering that they were what nine and a half point underdogs going into that
game, or ten and a half maybe at some point, and they because
they didn't have Luca, and the way they were kind of dropping like flies
and coming in and coming back out and losing guys throughout the game. I'm
impressed. I'm really impressed that they were able to keep that game that close.
They led in two of the quarters. The MAVs did. They gave
it too much in the other two, But I mean that was not They
played really hard. Oklahoma City's awesome and they're so good, and I would
love to play them in the playoffs. Yeah, I think in a long
series you'd fare a lot better than a one off on the road up there,
especially when they had the revenge factor in place. Yeah, I do.
I absolutely think. I think full strength. Absolutely, I think we
beat them full strength. I'm not kidding. Yeah A in a series,
Yes, I do. I really do, way more. That would way
more other have them than the Clippers or the clearly the Nuggets. But do
they consider us their biggest rival? I always wondered that thunder fan else would
there be for them to and all I think I was just winning that comeback
when twenty eleven knocking them out when they were really good. And I was
the last time they were Katie Russell and James Harden and Ebaka, and that
think was that team was loaded. They were young though they were young,
and that's why I want yeah, and and they're gonna be young and good
again, and that's why I kind of want them now, which is weird,
but out Luca. You know, obviously, I think anything from PJ.
Washington last night, which if John eleven, yeah he's oh for seven
from three, that dude's icy. Yeah, but then that what what how
good He's been transferred over to Little Timmy because he finally showed up and Kyrie,
Dude, when Luca doesn't play, it's incredible. You forget he is
an elite starting point guard for any team in the world. And because he
plays with seventy seven, you just forget. He's one of the best basketball
players on the plant like ten definitely right when he wants to go past you,
he just does it. Yep. Oh, I love him. And
when he starts the game and is handling the ball when he's in there as
opposed to the role that he's playing. You know, when Luca's in there,
it's clear he's he's every bit damn near every bit as good as Luka
Tancic if he was bringing the ball up every time. Dude, he's great.
I mean, they're different, different players, different skill sets, but
I mean it's there's no reason why the difference is is Kyrie ain't going to
ever get the rebound numbers that Luca does, and he's probably not ever going
to get the assist numbers because he is so great at creating his own shot
from anywhere on the on the floor. But it's amazing. Man, every
game that he's played where he's had to start and Luca's been out, it's
insane. His numbers are damn near forty. His point totals are damn near
forty every time. Part of me expected them to win because of that.
And I don't think there's beef of any kind. I think they love Luca
and Kyrie included. They all look at Luca on some level like he's a
witch, you know. I mean these are all we say, had a
thousand times all the best by far, players from their town and their college,
you know. I mean, these dudes are incredibly good players, and
I think they look at Luca like you can't deny he's just better. But
when he's not there, I think they all, Kyrie being the the number
one, want to step up and show remind you you know that it's not
just the Lucas show here. I think the team as a whole too.
I think they're I think they're closet runners. I think this team, when
Luca's out of the game, I think they love to fast break and they
love to run. And they've got some athletic bigs, yeah that can move,
and they've got some court runners as well, they can finish. I
think when Luca's out of the game is like, all right, let's go,
let's go. Let's let's go. Let's go like dad who does everything,
brings home all the money. His Dad's not here today, because honestly,
they're probably mostly all used to it. That a closer style of basketball
to that sure, more like their whole lives. I think they want to
run with Luca, except when Luca gets tired. And Luca, I don't
think Luca gets tired because he's not conditioned. I think Luca gets tired because
he does everything. Yeah, that's why That's why I think happens there and
I think that's when the game stops is when Luca's over there going money.
Also takes forever to get down the court because he's in conversation with guys wearing
wearing gray polos. Boy, did you see Keith Mitchell just slam his putter
down on the green? I would have been kicked out of only Country club
if I did that. Jesus, Sorry, man, Keith Mitchell, the
golfer. Just our heroes are on the course. Did you see that?
Danny? I did not see that. That was amazing. He missed a
putt. I thought we were talking about basketball. I'll stop being a jerk.
Okay, sorry, adds reels sometimes. What I wanted to say too
about that is they're in good shape. The Sun's lost last night again too.
They're in game back at the Kings for the six. You lose a
game with Luke out of course, Okay, that's gonna happen. We're good
to go. Get a couple of days off, say game Sunday in the
daytime against the nug against the Nuggies. Tried again with them Nuggies, but
you got did this stretch a little bit? Here? Got We're doing good.
I knew we were gonna lose last night when Gafford missed his first shot
of the night, Okay, I willed. They go live to the Whatever
Center and okay, see the first thing they say is Luca's out, which
I should have known, but I didn't know. I'm like, damn it,
no Luca. Game starts, Gafford misses, and the bench just goes
damn it. Like the bench was so bad because, like we said yesterday,
they all know about these streaks and stats, and they sure they want
to win and they won't sacrifice success to pull off any of these stats,
but they want to keep them going. And he beefs is very the first
shot of the game. Damn it, I didn't see it. What was
the what were the circumstances of the show. It was a prebound put back,
but he wasn't like by himself, and he's maybe four feet to the
left and just off the backboard front of the rim. What was he thinking?
Yeah, taking a fore foot shot, dude, he was three away
from from beating Wilt Chamberlain. And they all knew it. The bench reaction,
trust me, on the very first bucket of the game, they're like,
no, render Cobra like, oh my, no, it didn't.
I'll tell you what though. It didn't. Uh, it didn't get in
his head a damn bit because he was baller last night. He's so good
and lively off the bench. Yeah, you cannot let up. How do
we get those, dude, I don't know. I have we get all
these guys that made us decent again? Well they had, they had Lively
and they drafted him. No, I know, but but the great move
and despite him just farting last night. PJ. Washington's cool too. I
like him, but it's Kusha, Grant Williams, Seth Curry and draft picks.
Fine, real quick. I guess you how goo Josh Kitty was late?
He played together late. Oh he scored like the first six points of
the game. Yeah, but he was not very good from beyond the arc.
He sucks from behind the arcude defensive watch. You can look at highlights
of defense begging Josh Gitty to shoot. And if he could shoot, he
would be a very good player in the league. But he cannot shoot three.
That's what they said on the podcast list. Not that like, you
know what. He he's not a very good three point shooter. But he'll
surprise you. Sometimes it's like okay, that's a way of saying he gets
open and he is forced to shoot that shot every once in a while.
Transitioning to cowboys real quick. If we told you yesterday that Steven Jones and
Kid Rock we're at some event. Yes, today they're announcing something for a
rodeo. Did you not predict that entrance? Was he on a horse?
Yes? I didn't see that Kid Rock rode in on a horse? Did
he? Utter? I didn't. I saw I saw a video from far
away, as long as it was real, okay, yeap outcomes Kid Rock
on a horse? Yes, yes, Oh there's the official press conference,
all right, yeah, and that idiots back there like okay, fine,
puts his foot in the stirrup and gets up there, all right, outstanding,
and they have this horse tranked so good. Just and they put a
little carrot pile on that walk horse. He just don't kill Kid Rock.
So long for him to get up. He's doing the whole the whole length
of the stadium. That's really good. That's funny. Well, Stephen Jones
did basically say, oh I got kid I think I have kid Loo at
the microphone. I think as Steven Jones did say, like we had talked
to Dak about all this that goes with, you know, some details because
the Prosper Police and the Dallas Police are investigating all of this now that with
the DAK situation. The Dallas Police said that on Wednesday night they received a
report on Tuesday about an alleged sexual assault in twenty seventeen in the parking lot
of XTC Cabaret. I didn't really I didn't play it. Another speakeasy played
it. I didn't really want to play it. I felt weird about it
for whatever reason. But that WFA had an interview with the accuser and they
did not modify her voice. They just blocked her face out and she kind
of told a little bit of herst sight. She didn't go into a lot
of graphic details, but she did say a few things in an SUV.
Didn't you say she was raped? I shouldn't say it like that, Because
the lawyer said it like that and that powerful sentence. It seems like that
should not say like that. Only in extreme cases do you even hear that
word used anymore? It's always sexual assault now, I agree, but that's
why I was shocking that the lawyer did say it knowing that it is.
That is a reset word. The accuser said, Prescott pulled my pants down
and the pants weren't even off my legs, so it's just an awkward position
and it was heavy. But what it was very strange. And that's so
I didn't play it as it was kind of strange. If you want to
hear it, I can grab it real quick, but I mean, I
just didn't days ago too. We believe you're paraphrasing well, and Dak's This
is where I think that there's a weird area here for Dak though, is
because in the beginning it was out that Dak did that remember her, and
then Dak's attorney said that Dak had admitted that sex was consensual. It's like,
well, how did we go from not knowing who she was or remembering
it or just saying it was interesting. That's never good. It's never good
when your story changes mid stream like that. So I don't know, man,
there's a lot of loopholes in the story and things like that, Oh,
here's a kid rock going to the podium. We all give me fifty
bucks if his first words a a cowboy baby, or if the first ten
seconds, not ten seconds, first five seconds? Twenty's walking five seconds?
Oh no, no, wait till we saw it's talking? Why don't have
to give money to too? Two? Definitely feel more comfortable with that in
my hand. Mike, Uh, what can I say? Uh? You
know there's some notes here. You know this is something outside of the box
for me. Okay, it wasn't even on the notes. It should have
been on the notes. Who's They thought he would work off script for that
first line and then get to the notes. They realized he didn't have the
talent to do that. Rock limited talents. Who went in a theater?
Kid? No theater? Kid goes out there, you know what to do?
Well? What if you a cowboy? Baby? At least he's at
home and comfortable with a microphone in his hand, kid, Rock, I
sure thought he would say it. Then Steven gets up there, looking like
a cast member of Yellowstone and starts talking about bull riding. Weird one.
We're not gonna get to the to the stuff with the rule changes. But
that's okay. Maybe later we'll have time later maybe or maybe I'll do it
next, but probably not. I'm not gonna have time. Got lots of
news in the scuttle butt, including new eclipse warning This could be bad and
I'll tell you why. Also new gator attack It's bad and I'll tell you
why. And more on the freak
