Diner at the Alma Draft House at the Cedars. We need to have a
discussion either on the air or off not now on our movie of the month,
because December it's time for us to get going and we need to give
them some options. We'll do that. Plus to the scuttle butt, our
daily news segment brought you by Parker you hurt? All right? Where did
the Rangers go after the World Series parade in Arlington? We now know not
Disneyland, Not Disneyland. Okay, hold on, this is a real question.
It's a real question. Do you know I know Danny knows you like
as a team the whole team. Yeah, they had a big team of
dinner, the big World Series celebrate celebratory dinner, right, Yeah, I
mean some people had to do stuff like Corey Seeker had to go to a
Can's and serve chicken all weekend. Rangers were doing signings at Academy, and
they were where these guys did not get a He's not just when the World
Series have a parade, celebrate and go on vacation obligations. Are you gonna
ask where did groups run into Nate Lowe and Spores? Is that right?
Yeah? I'm not sure. Is he got a photo off with those two
those two cats? Yeah? I know, And I was wonder where that
was as much a wine bottle behind him? Well, then it might have
been at at Alberne's on Oakland. That's where they went two hundred Arlington.
Well, the parade was in Arlington. You said, where did they go
in Arlington after they won the World Here, I said, where did they
go after the parade in Arlington? After the Arlington parade? Where did they
go to dinner that night? Yeah? Well I was trying to think a
place was in Arlington they would have gone, Oh, well, they went
to Alburne's off Oakland. Be careful, Kevio. He's pretty pretty and easy
with the warnings today. You could be next and put a lock on those
points too. God all right, he doesn't have the same attitude at the
polls. It was a two hundred person private event. So how did the
group's getting that? Probably not where he was because his dad was probably invited
Rangers, players, coaches, spouses and friends. Steak and seafood, of
course, one of the last opportunities for the Rangers to get there before the
uh, you know, before they go their separate ways for the off season.
Here not to mention unlimited bread, got all the bread. Your attendance
list was Max Scherzer, Josh Spores, and Ian Kennedy like what and h
third baseman Josh Young, Marcus Simeon, Evan Carter and Moore. The director
of operations for Albernase, said he set up the dinner with about twenty four
hours notice. Got the phone call from Neil Leebman, the co owner of
the Rangers. This is at Albernez. Yeah, the Oaklawn location. Do
they need to how do you have a two hundred person You have to shut
the whole joint down. Closed it down, didn't they? And you can
shut it I mean two hundred people, Yeah you can. You can cancel
every reservation. I guess so I guess you can. I don't know.
It sounds look that might be bad for business, but there you go.
Well, good for them, they deserve a nice meal. Neil Leebman told
the restaurant owner Al Burney that the Rangers ever won a World Series, that's
where he would want to do it, at his favorite steakhouse. So there
you go, that's for the Rangers. Good for them, celebrated Albernez.
So they had what surf and turf? Yeah? What did each player get?
It? Sounds like Josh Young had no vegetables. Okay, he had
two baked potatoes with a steak. Are you making that up? Yeah?
Okay, because that sounds reasonable. I bet there are a lot of guys
who had no vegetables, a lot of protein, a lot of meat.
Those guys need to have some veggies too, though, Or do you think
that Captain or Bochi just walked in and said, pork chop sandwich is all
the way around? Oh my god, how great would that have been?
I got it? Boys? And then Kevio pops his head out of the
kitchend me, how is that my thing? Now? I've never had a
pork chop? What he brought it up? Poor chop sandwiches? Other election
news today, guys, on election day. Brad Benson is a candidate in
Tuesday's Granbury City Council. Before you say anymore, I'm gonna say, I'm
all in on this man. This is a man I trust and I support
his candidacy and everything he's involved in. Team Brad Benjamin, Brad Vinson,
Team Brad Benson. Now continue. He is a candidate in Tuesday's Grandberry City
Council election. Arrested yesterday morning on felony charges of possession of child born.
What district did you say? I have misunderstood he? I understood the candidate
you brought up. Look, to Mikey's credit, he was in full support
of Brad Benjamin. Yeah, Brad Benjamin district. Yeah, the guy from
the other district out there, Not this peto, the family man, not
this sick f Why. I had a few miscalculations in my life, but
God, what a bad gamble that one. I didn't roll him out there,
boy bringing him up. We probably should have maybe taken me in the
other direction when you finished your sentence, and I looked saw the look on
Kevio's face as he pushed his chair away from his computer and went back to
the mic. I knew it was kid porn. I knew it. This
was a man I support, This is a man I trust. So here
were the three people that were say take away what I told you about Bradvinson.
He was going up against Charles Beard and Gary Overdire. So you sarw
Brad Vinson on that this You might be like, yeah, I think I'll
vote for Brad Brad because Gary over Dire Jeez looks like Ryner after he lost
that bed Overdire. So this is on the ballot today. Yep. He
is arrested yesterday moaning okay, he was a that's insane, insane timing,
That's what I mean. And obviously please throw away the key. I don't
care. But then you have to ask, is there what is there any
political motivation like the timing of it, like were they pushed by old Overdire?
I don't know a charge like that. Would it make a difference if
it happened two months ago? Or No? No, no, yesterday,
but what are the odds that it happens the day before the election, The
Hood County Republican Party issued a statement on its Facebook page and said, based
on the limited information available, it is our understanding that a serious sexulated offense
may be involved. If these allegations are true, there's no way the party
would ever condone such activity. So it sounds like no so that they were
almost apologizing on behalf of him as he's a Republican. Now, if that
was the Republican Party saying that without that last sentence, I would go they're
taking Now, I don't know. It's interesting. Well, who's his understudy
or however that works? Who fills in if Brad has to go to pedo
Ja. Well he's not going to win the elections. It doesn't matter to
be on Brandberry's city council. Oh no, sure about that. That would
be weird. Hello, I know, but you never know. Times are
weird, aren't they? Guys. He's a lifetime member of the Granbury Volunteer
Fire Department for as many years of answering emergency phone calls throughout Hood County.
Damn, I think anytime you're accused of something there's a certain faction of people
that if you just say it's a witch hunt, yeah, they'll support you
anyway. I don't know, man, that's the one thing right in child
porn like and that where you got done when you look into it's like the
worst thing you could be accused of. Yeah, it's on the podium.
I mean it's right, it should be with rape and murder. Yeah,
but it sounds even it sounds worse than murder, right yeah, yeah,
for sure, like the scarlet letter you wear, correctly, it sounds worse
than murder. I was gonna give credit to this guy eight one seven number
who said earlier Kevio clearly said where did they go in Arlington soroydization another morning,
but then his next week with Sarroy's all in team CP Oh no,
and I'm not gonna support what you wrote. Shouldn't have written out that guy
needs to think twice and listen better, because I definitely didn't say that.
But also thanks for listening. Another guy did boatchy voice. I'm gonna have
to try one of these famous KG pork chop sandwiches. I'm gonna have to
try one of these a local bar. I've never had a pork chop a
local bar in town. Yes you have. You've had a damn pork chop.
Not making that dumb claim. I'm telling you I have it. You
grew up in Texas. Did your mom ever cook? Yes? But no,
every day you had a pork chop? No? Never, what's her
number? No, I'm gonna call your mom and get her on the phone,
and I guarantee you she was carsh We've had pork chops. Kevin used
to live off of them. It's just a nice little piece of pork.
It's like a little pin pork steak. It sounds like something I would have
never asked for, wanted with the bone or without. It doesn't It didn't
matter. You've had a delicious pork. I've had a pork line. You've
had a pork chop. No, I've had a pork loine. I haven't
had a pork chop. Look, it's one thing to say I've never had
beef Wellington. It's kind of like off the beaten path. I haven't neither
Mike, Mikey or myself have had that we're supposed to, nor have I
probably don't need to anymore. But pork chop come on, man, that's
like saying you never had a burger. Yeah sirloin. Yeah, burgers are
in a whole different category. A rabbi are in a whole different category than
that. You want to see me. Are very common pork chops on menus?
No, yes, you do, not often often, not because of
a staple common. Next place you go to look see if they have pork
chop with the menu, they won't, and sometimes they just call them chops.
No, they don't. The local establishment getting some love and GQ.
Interesting. I was reading the stands for Gentlemen's Quarterly by the Gentlemen's Quarterly.
Yeah, I was like, gouy guy, quickie guy, quiki. I
don't know. The menu of Alberne is where our rangers chose to ate to
eat Berkshire pork chops right there on the standard menu. We al, that's
the one restaurant we've recently been talking about. Yeah, check out other menus
and you won't see pork chops that often. I don't know what to do.
I don't even know where to put my thoughts right now. Last week
we talked about how Leon Bridges designed the new MAVs City jerseys. That's right,
Trinity River Blues. Yeah, us, and they're very cool and they're
breaking them out this Friday night. May I interject something here? They are
so damn cool. And if basketball gear wasn't a tank top, I'd wear
more of it. Yeah. If they make the T shirt, I'll get
a T shirt of this. Yeah. If they made a T shirt of
this, I like it. Do you guys have any Map jerseys? No,
you don't have any. You don't have any because I'm back in the
when I was a kid. I don't wear tank tops. Yeah, but
you wear a shirt under it. You're an adult. I guess you could
go full Patrick Ewing, But then you're wearing two shirts. I'll tell you
what, Dirk and a Luca. When it comes to to playoffs, I'll
wrap one of those at a game with undershirt obviously. Yeah. When it
comes to jerseys, the coolest jersey to wear is the Star sweater. Okay.
Yeah, wintertime warmth can serve as a hoodie, or if you want,
you could wear a hoodie over it or underneath it, you know,
and then throw the hood up. But the point that's the coolest one to
wear. The new Ranger jerseys see a lot of people walking around with those
those old shirt those weird ones that look like Tigers logos. So what you're
talking about the no no no, not the Peagle no no no notes,
Rangers right across. Yeah, the white those are throwbacks to like the early
eighties, right, Well, no, it's the ones they're wearing, now,
what I'm saying, like those those are kind of wearable, but it's
hard. Yeah, it's hard to wear a jersey of tam because the sleeve
thing. What do you think I've I've we've I've debated this before. Ranked
the four major sports on percentage of the crowd at the event wearing a hockey
not even close. I should have ranked four, but hockey one. Yeah,
I think you're absolutely correct. I think the Stars fans Football two.
You're probably right, Basketball three, Baseball four. No, base Basketball's last,
Basketball's last, Basketball's last, Baseball's third. I'm real close between cowboys
and baseball and Rangers. I don't know. I feel like you see a
lot of people wear an actual lot of baseball jerseys. Well, let's just
say any any team gear even Oh it didnt have to be a jersey,
Oh really, Okay, I mean it could be there they're both interesting.
Basketball is definitely last. We're talking wearing a jersey. Yeah, that's what
I was talking about, like something that looks like what the players would win.
But then he might be right. Baseball jersey with a button down that's
relatively low compared to T shirts and sweaters and stuff. Yeah, baseball basketball.
I do love that MAVs logo that that new city or whatever they call
it, that's really cool. Designed by Leon Bridges, and he did an
interview in Gentlemen's Quarterly and here's the question, walk me through the process of
designing these uniforms, and he said, I was able to go out to
Portland and give them a rundown of my story and what Fort Worth means to
me. I think a lot of people are unaware of the rich history of
rhythm and blues in Dallas, and I feel that's also kind of a dying
genre. It's crucial for me to incorporate that into these jerseys. Also,
there's a spot in Deep Elm which a lot of blues artists frequented back in
the day, called Twilight Lounge. They have these old school R and B
posters adorning the walls. Some of the font on that stuff inspired the font
on the jersey. The Twilight Lounge inspired the Math City uniforms. You helped
pick those fonts. And for those that don't Nipples from Hell, the Twilight
Lounge great bar, uh and is owned. And I'm saying this, this
is a bar that Danny Biels was invested in. I'll play with his you
your balls played with for once got to Danny's an owner of Twilight Lounge,
a owner and owner Jess friends. Jess opened it up a little over a
decade ago. He passed away last year. And uh, now me and
his wife kind of you know, co own. Yeah, do you have
a lot of paperwork you have to do some not a ton yeah, not
a ton a marriage down. They were taken care of early. They were
vouch Oh how much fort Worth took a little longer than Dallas did? Dallas
was it was fort Worth location? Yeah, might be through some bucks at
all formula. I would have done that. I mean have anything. I
don't even have an oven. I made profit. But it's cool that Leon.
Absolutely, that's bad ass. We read on there. He said a
couple other little things that are kind of neat after that, like immediately afterwards,
Oh, yep, yep, yep, yep. Talk more. You
know, you know the part where I exit out of the article. Oh
yeah, sounds like a cool bar, he says. It's my little go
to spot. Oh like super low key, but it has a lot of
character. I would agree. Uh, any day throughout the week, you'll
probably find like five people in there. That's a problem. Hey, leave
that out. Deep Elm is pretty chaotic. So it's a nice little safe
space. And ducked off it ducked off might not be as low key after
this interview and he said, we blew up the spot. That's that's really
cool. And it's funny because you know, Leon's been gosh coming there since
he is, before he turned into what we know him as now, even
before his yeah, exactly before his first album, and he's played there a
handful of times too. He would even busk out in front of Twilight with
just his acoustic guitar and just stand out there and sing for for change,
you know, back before he blew up. And to have him cite us
and GQ, that's pretty cool. So I was texting our GM. The
guy that you know basically is you ask me who deals with the paperwork in
the bulk of it, it's it's Elliott. You guys all know he's awesome.
Sweet Elliott, one of my favorite dudes, no doubt. If it
weren't for Elliott, I don't know where we would be down there. But
anyway, I texted Elliot, I said, hey, man, that you
saw the or he brought it up to my attention. I said, let's
definitely use this stuff and our you know, social media promotion. He goes,
yeah, I'm aready on it, and he goes Leon still, when
he's in town, he swings by. It's like he comes in and hangs
out. It is true. I mean that spot Deep Ellums can be an
s show on weekends, and what Leon's saying is right. Our crowds have
dwindled on weekends just because we're kind of like old guard there. Now we're
like the old the old bar in Deep Ellum. So the young kids that
are you know, twenty one to twenty two that are looking to get their
DJ on and their hookup on probably walk past Twilight and they look in there
and go, yep, that's Grandpa's bar. It was the new hot thing.
Yeah yeah, yeah, ten years ago. Dude, we've only been
open ten and a half years, so it's a good respite. So if
Leon wants to avoid the scene, quote unquote, it's a good place to
hide away. I tend to avoid deep ellum these days, but a lot
of people do get older. There's a show that you want to see in
that and you got to go. Or Christina does Ohmeal Pizza shows down there
often at twilight. But yes, that is a tip for anyone if you
are required to go down a deep elum and it's weird, find twilight,
seek it out, go chilling one of them booths and it is just a
pleasure. Or in this perfect November patio weather, great patio two eighty two
today smoked a lot of SIGs out on that patio and me both I kept
American spirit in business back in the day. Well that is awesome, and
we did not get to birthdays. We'll do it next or the next I
have audio. Here's my tea's here for the next segment. Can you say
this on live TV plus your chance to win Green Day tickets next on ninety
seven, won the Freak
