Good morning. You're listening live to ninety seven one. The Frank came to
the Dallas Mavericks late at night. It's the Boston Celtics, and many more
things like the Speakeasy, the Ben and Skin Show, and us the Downbeat.
I'm Kevin Turner, but Danny Baylis, Mike's Roy JJ Jackson, and
we are gonna have fun today at nine o'clock, the Return, I'm fearful
to announce the shocking return of something at nine o'clock. Don't miss nine o'clock.
I'm fearful and excited for nine o'clock today ding good morning News. At
eight thirty eight o'clock, we got a chance for you to win tickets to
a concert. And it's a bye. By the way, I was gonna
say, I think we're already one of the most interactive shows and stations on
radio, the amount of times that we lend the radio to the listeners,
and that continues to day to talk to day with a segment called where is
your Mind, where you get to call in and we're gonna judge your report.
What's on your mind? Your report? Yeah, what's big in your
world? You report what's on your mind? Or where is your Mind?
Yeah, look, it's for Pixies and Modest Mouse tickets. Yeah, yes,
a show. What's the title? I think will be announced today?
Okay? So yeah, I was searching for that last night. I was
trying to find when the date was, and I couldn't find one thing about
Modest Mouse and the Pixies in Dallas. You probably shouldn't talk about it.
And then I got to thinking it hadn't been announced yet, but it'll be
announced today, but we shouldn't. Okay. So when tickets to a mysterious
unannounced big rock big show that's coming to town, and the segment is called
where is your Mind? But we won't say who the tickets are for?
But I ideally it's something like weird that you've been thinking about. I mean,
sure, you can talk about the weather or sports, and that's fine.
Maybe an editorial man, you want to go off on something, right,
but we all think of just dumb random stuff that's been bugging you or
why is this like this? Think of it as a long form talk back,
sure, you know, yeah, not too long. It could be
about something that we've said or something we've talked about up to that point.
You know, that's how the talkbacks typically kind of play out, they play
off something that we've discussed. Yes, you know, you get a little
more time. You have a little more time to kind of expound on your
your vision, and you have two hours right now to tidy up your vision,
make it bite size palatable. Yeah, and shoving our mouths and the
odds are in your favor if you're listening now, because more people will be
jumping on as the day continues. Yeah, when you got a tow hour
head start. There's a lot of people out there sleeping right now, probably,
And may the odds always be in your favor. We'll get into games
at seven, all the games. There were so many good football games this
weekend. Good God, great. In six point thirty, we have someone
huge, maybe one of the world's biggest stars in town tonight. No one's
talking about it, that's right, Ron de Santis in town, no kidding.
We'll talk about the return of Messy to the Metroplex at six thirty five,
and why it's more affordable than you think. In fact, it makes
what you doled out six months ago makes you kind of look dumb. Yes,
if you want to see Messy tonight and sitting in the cold, rainy,
rainy open stadium on metals. Yes, it can all be yours.
Everything can be yours. He'll probably not even start, you know, just
come in for four minutes at the end. Actually have update on that,
you do? Yeah? Is he going to start? Six thirty five?
We have to wait. Earn it. You gotta earn it. Man,
man, man, he doesn't want to wait. I don't want to wait
either. You gotta wait. I can google it right now. Will Messy
start? No? Stop? You know, I'm gonna don't give him ideas
now coming over the don't give him ideas. Make your breakfast, your protein
shake if you're already your breakfast, because because you're smart, you go to
work early. Clock in, you clock out it like two. That's a
lot of people do. Yeah, genius. If you don't have to work
x amount hours, you get in there before the bosses. Do business people
clock him? Okay? So factory people, yes, do they have a
ticket and the stamping machine on the wall. It's more digital now, but
yeah, you kind of roll it through a thing. If anybody throws their
little ticket into a stamping machine two one fourth, you can see what's on
your mind there. You go have pixies. I mean mystery concert tickets at
eight. Think about those days. That's kind of gone. I mean things,
uh tech technology that's extinct now you cassettes or eight tracks. Boy,
the punch clock has definitely become the phone booth. Things that you used to
see that were part of your day to day and now they just don't exist
in a relatively short amount of time. I'm sure you did punch clock,
did you? It was not the punch It was still the same thing.
You slide the receipt through or the it's almost like a cardboard, like an
sat exam. What do you call those things? Did you as a scantron?
Scantron? It's like a scantron still, well, the same principle,
but you know nowadays it's all digital. You punch in your code when you
get to work and it logs your hours. But maybe you did this or
did you ever work with a punch clock anywhere? Okay, did you ever
have the fellow employee that would be knowing they're going to be late. It's
like pumps me in, punch me in. We clocked me in. Yes,
absolutely, as long as we get back. What a terrible fail safe
that system had Will you steal money from the company for me? Punch me
in? Maybe the company should have gotten up to today's standards today. Well
then they should have had standards from eighty years ago. Most companies still operate
encoding hours under the I've done this in rant million times. I'm sorry my
thirteen billion years ago rant. But Ford Motor Company again nineteen twenties. We
still go off that. We go off that not everyone is building ours for
Ford Motor Company. Adjust now needed for factories forty hours, need it,
gotta have it sometimes more. But most people don't work at factories. A
lot of people do. I guarantee you they still don't punch clocking in over
at air tractor. Hell yeah, And shout out to my mom would be
something goes in early, really and she listens, Yeah, Kevin probably has
to turn it off once people started like arriving at eight and she doesn't like
five am. Kevin's parents own an airline, Well, they don't. The
biggest I did tell them where air tractors don't have door plugs airline I was
telling them. I was like, Mike is kind of fascinated with where Danny
and I grew up. Oh, yeah, I'm very fascinated, but I
have very little urge to go see your lands. It's a day trip,
man, Yeah, I know that's quick day trip. That's too much.
You go right for the show and be back by three cocks. I would
need a detailed like itinerary, as Kevin's is kind of a day trip.
What is only a couple two hours? Two hour and a half. Excuse
me, as far away as you think where Kevin grew up and in the
sticks go to his house and then drive another hour west. Yeah, Danny's
in a town a third of the size of Kevin's, and Kevin's is small.
One is a small town. Three what is it about? Three thousand
people? Maybe three thousand is the usual census number. I'm not sure what
the latest numbers are, but three thousand. I bet it's dipped because I
know when I went to high school, Knox City was around eleven hundred thirteen
hundred, and it's well below a thousand. So you're a thousand, right,
that's always my gauge only's right at three or three thousand and nineteen.
Yeah, that's good, guy, of that's good. That's good. So
what you want Knox City is just over one thousand. So then bounced back,
I'm not, are you like the most famous Knox City? I mean
without being though we are, Mike, I wasn't talking to you. You're
not famous. I guess it's subjective, you know, but pretty famous,
Mike. Is there anything in your high school like comrating? No? I
look, I know. I was one of those that left and never went
back other than to visit my mother that lived there until probably twenty sixteen.
Moved her to Dallas and she needed assisted living. She was, you know,
eighty eight years old, and then she got Alzheimer's and passed away in
eighteen. So I have not been back there since her funeral in twenty eighteen.
And there's I have a really good friend that I grew up with there
very close, remain close all through our adulthood, and we'll text on occasion.
But other than that, there is one no reason for me to go
back. Do you think they're waiting for the return of the prodigal song?
No usually sneak in under the cover of night, Mikey dude, you but
I mean no, Joe, you have talked about Knox City in damn Dallas,
the closest big City to Knox City for thirty years. I don't know
about millions, but I might say millions of people have been are aware of
Knox City because of you. I've done more for the city of all need
than anyone has. There is they mentioned on the radio for the last ten
years. They've been mentioned almost daily on the radio, and they don't acknowledge
that I exist. I even't. Look when I was putting a TV show
together a couple of years ago and it was gonna simulcast in wichitall falls Okay
for those of you that didn't know, Kevin used to have a TV show,
Yes, and I didn't get canceled. I chose not to do it
again. It was airing wichitall fall too. It got canceled. It did
not get canceled. You can't get canceled on c W. They're begging for
content. They changed things on as quick on this world, So enjoy you
every minute while you haven't. I go ahead and want to run out of
your contract. That's what he told himself. I was adjusting his tie in
the mirror for his last show. I don't want to run another Young Sheldon
and my showrunner had said, it's not worth her time anymore. But Aaron
Winch Tall falls too, and I called only for I need a couple of
favors because I had to make my own commercials too. I mean I made
a commercial of the only country club the golf course. Worked to deal with
them to sponsor and give me some money. Called the newspaper and said,
run a whole article show just saying this is gonna air. Throw it in
there, hurry you again. And I just realized it was a transplant,
not some guy who grew up in the town whose family had lived there.
You know, he's some guy from out of town. Might screw you,
man. I've done more for your city than you could ever know, and
I could do more for your newspaper. But you know I used to write
articles before anyone knew you existed. I used to write articles, huge articles
in the paper. It was a star. But who's the Knox City mayor?
Because the official show of calling mayors is the Ben and Skin Show.
And they had you hear that last week. No called, uh. I
tuned in and they were on the phone with the mayor of crandall trying to
get a little hanging thing under the sign that says Crandall that says home of
Christina Ray of you know, ninety seven on the free of course. And
once it went great because once you pin the mayor down on live radio,
of course and go yeah, it's another great idea, let's do it.
And then they called the mayor of Only. Really okay, the mayor of
first of All, the mayor of Crandall was doing a lot of yeah,
I'll have to see you know, I'll talk to the board members, talk
to city hall. The mayor of Only was like, yeah, we can
get it done. He was in now granted he's my age and one of
my good friends from high school. He was the quarterback. Are you serious?
Not only did he stay in Olney, he became the mayor. Well,
he works at Wherever Farm a tower extrusions. You know when you see
stadiums that are built all throughout the land here in America. It was built
probably by tower Extrusions out of Onney, Texas, along with air tractor,
two of the most thriving, thriving industries. Wait, seriously, I'm telling
you small town companies air tractor and tower extrusions. Crush Only is a good
place to be and that's why I'm running for mayor and the terrain of whatever
the other guy's name is. You're saying most buildings and no, I'm saying
most stadium seats that you find in NFL stadiums or at live golf tournaments built
by Tower Extrusions. I'm serious. I believe you. I don't. You
don't have to believe me. I mean, they're weird companies specializing weird things.
And I don't know if he's making that. Just don't know why they'd
put that factory in a three thousand population a town with the population of three
thousand people. It seems like if you had a company that big that's making
that many stadium seats for that many arenas and stadiums aground the globe, you'd
think you'd be able to you'd need more employees than the people that live there.
Yeah, I don't know a lot of people driving from Graham Archer City,
which the falls is just really though. Yeah, he's just repeating what
his friend's dad, who works at Tower Extrusions against the wall one day and
yelled, thank you the importance of his job. Hey, you could have
a job here one day. No, I'd probably have fifty people I know
that work there too. Honestly, where's this factory that's right in town?
Traders ding Dong City a thousand times, and I've never seen a factory that
was sustained seating for stadiums? What is it behind the alsips? I mean,
you're gonna make me do research. You know you lived there. I
don't know the I don't have a pamphlet for tower Extrusions. It doesn't matter.
How long has the damn thing been in business. I mean since I've
been alive, and I've been alive for how many years? Not long enough?
Kevin? How many? How many years? Howld them thirty five?
No, sir, I am not You're thirty six and thirty six, Happy
birthday? Thank you? Sew someone would get it. I don't know,
because someone just said I'm not buying this, that it's my birthday. No,
that there's this Tower Excursions does stadium seats? Someone checked? Someone said,
check out Southern Bleacher in Graham, Graham, Texas. Okay, shram
does no more than seventy five years in stadium ruction, stadium arena, Speedway's
bleachers, you can trust. I mean, this is a website tells me
what they do. What about Tower extrusions. Tower Strutan's just confusing. Yeah,
it just takes you to a dead geo. Citi's link nineteen seventy I'm
looking at it right now. Tower Extrusion dot Com nineteen seventy seven. I
mean, dude, it's got a five hundred and thirty thousand square foot facility
in Onlley, Texas. And they got a couple of locations too. Southern
Bleacher since nineteen forty six. Dude, Well, yeah, okay, here's
what Graham does. Graham's got a few more people, and they come in
and they're all snobby and they start going, look what we did. We're
in Young County two. We don't like it. Only he's got a very
popular radio host talking about only all the time. And they come in.
We know Emily Jones. When's the last time Emily Jones went and got the
back of Graham Texas? Rarely? She grew up the family there, of
course, but you can expect to call from Emily here at about we did
thirty I think she did dead call and yell at us a few months ago.
Well, her name came up. I'm just saying Southern Bleacher had a
thirty year head start on tower extrusions. So all the stadiums that were built
prior to seventy seven couldn't have had anything to do with tower extrusions. I
don't know, Copycat World, Southern Bleachers, what what stadiums they they're they're
working on that best, you know, but if they wanted to, you
know, all right, if it's on their website somewhere, you guys are
seeing that, that's great, that's cool. He's so defensive, he really
is. Textors say, I work at the hospital. We still clock in
with ID badges. Okay, One guy Texter says, uh work we clock
in via software app that tracks your physical location via GPS. That legal.
Oh well, the red dots in the bathroom again, it's been forty five
minutes. Yeah, that that doesn't seem right. Almost no movement, just
a gentle left to right shifting. There's a story about that. If you
work at a I don't know if it's true or not, but if you
work at the Amazon warehouse, like they track how fast you're moving, and
you kind of get paid on how much you get done, and or you
could get bonuses if you got a lot done, you know, and you're
just running all over a warehouse, collecting things and putting them in a container.
But there are people who would talk about yeah, like I would not
go to the bathroom and not drink water so I could hit my bonuses because
I needed the bonus money and I couldn't hand if I had to go to
the bathroom for sixty seconds, that would hurt me and I couldn't make my
time. I add that up one, two, three times a day,
three minutes. I mean there's a rat race to get hit their bonuses.
That's crazy. But I don't know if that is. I have a friend
who works somewhere where they're on their computer and to go to the bathroom that
to you know, click something that says they're going to the bathroom, and
at times how long they're in the bathroom and how many bathroom breaks per day
they take. Wow, And I think I'm a friend of either who got
fired or it was warned many times for their lack of efficiency due to beat
That's crazy. I always find it intriguing back to Kevin being so defensive about
this share company and Alney, I don't care. It's always funny to me
when guys that grow up in these small towns. They have this, they
carry it with them throughout their lives, and they know that their mission is
to never forget their roots. Man, I just wish that those people would
be honest, because look, I'll tell you straight up, the three biggest
exports out of Knox City, it's probably cow diarrhea, methamphetamines, and teenage
pregnancy. That's what we're offering. Yeah, okay, this is going to
be offensive. Okay. I grew up in a house of love. What
does that mean? Here's you kind of an orphan had parents? Kind of
like I had parents. Who's the house of love as well? For the
first year I was lovingly adopted. I don't remember. What are your memories
when you're on the land, Just roll over and the wind blows. And
yes, I'm being shoved up a chimney with a broom to earn extra money
for the family when I'm nine months old. I feel bad about it.
I'm sorry, man, that was That was rude, that was cheap,
and I'll serve my time in a local pennicentry for one text says KT is
correct. My brother in law runs it and used to be in a band
with KT. Who's that? I don't know. Can we just read his
phone numbers? I want to hear more about this band. I had multiple
bands? Yeah, okay, so probably yeah, okay, yeah, I
know that might be yeah cool. Can I do a quick transition? You
can't. But there's right there fodder for eight o'clock to win tickets. Maybe
the many people that live in the metroplex, I would say a majority,
but a ton are from those little satellite small towns that that migrate to the
big cities after they graduate. You know what, maybe what pimp your city?
What's so great about Newcastle so you can sit here and rip it to
shreds? And the winning city? What's so great about Winert? And the
winning city? Ben and Skinnill come to a remote at your city? There
he is, somebody's out. Sorry, I'm not taking the pill yet.
You give me names of tiny Texas cities and I'll try to and see which
ones you can lie about. You know, I'll see if I can tell
which is a real Texas city. See if I'm a good Texan yet.
Just say their names or give you a little their mascot there. It could
be funny names or however you gonna do it. I can see if I
can determine the fake. Okay, with a little one sentence right up,
could be sure to like the name of city, their mascot reeler fake and
then what they're what the city's known for, because you just make up a
name, mascot and the production of aluminum whatever. I mean, Look it's
and that's probably a lot of towns have some company like that, but generally
not as big as Tower Extrusion and Air Tractor in Allney, Texas, the
home of the Cubs and radio star Kevin Turner Radio Hall of Famer. According
to jet Chat GPT, you can't take that away from me. All Texas,
the city and the state hated so much that they built a highway to
go around it. No, it was just it was because you wanted to
see all of it, the ability to drive around it from from from far
away. Three minutes on pizza, have you guys been to Okay? First
of all, it goes with that being said Andrews is the best place to
get pizza in this market saying that because the partners. I'm saying because every
time I go, I get something different and I like it. Detroit style,
Dallas Stash whatever, lasagna, soup, pizza, bowling, AI's just
nuts. Yeah, carb up good. Lord place is great. I didn't
try a new pizza place on Friday night. Have you guys been something new?
Actually, it's not that new. Have you guys been to De Luca
Pizza? De Luca? No? Oh? Is that the they keep bringing
it? Green light red light, green light, red light pizza? I
have. I think JJ and I talked about that. You may be the
one, either you or Jillian Moran, but I feel like you went and
we talked about it anyway. Yeah, Jillian told me about it. What's
the story? So I didn't know? And uh yeah. You go in
and it's twenty five bucks and they say it's five course meal. So they
give you this like it's like a rugula salad. You have meatballs of some
sort, two meatballs so Kobe beef meatballs, a little cup of lobster bisc
and you can holler at me when it comes to bisk and shout us we
know all. I'm like, why is it a cup? In? The
guy? My server, who looked a lot like a moonlighting Dak Prescott goes,
don't drink it all, save it, dip your pizza crust in it
and I went, oh, insider information, and then pizza and then dessert
pizza, and it is. They give you a little cardboard card, green
light like Brazilian steakhout style, like bring it on or red light, cut
it off my tumb tumb herts, and it is thin. Slices are very
small. It's like luxury see ses pizza. It is not the best pizza
I've ever had. I want to be clear about that, but it was
fine. But they keep there's dudes just cruising around holding pizzas and just kind
of walking in front of your nose and you're like two of those and one
of that spicy pepper, and then the man. The man is gone,
and then then a different man pops up out of nowhere. Pizza women serve
pizza out. The women serve pizza have been waiting for this day. Hot
hot, hot, buffalo, chicken pizza, Tiki massala, Turkish lamb.
You know, I remember a lote pizza. What corn pizza, corn pizza
and it's great. Then this sounds like a place that doctor Agarwall would not
recommend you. And I eat a yeah, yeah, definitely, I will
say. Went home and I did not feel great mm hm, and also
deserve pizza. They had dessert pizzas, say, like a nutella pizza,
one of like cinnamon banana pizza. This is ridiculous, but it's all tiny,
so you trick yourself and I can have as many of these as I
want because they're small. They're slivers, but you can eat forever. It's
great, and dude, it's it's effit affordable. I mean, you're sitting
there going, I got my twenty five dollars worth here. Yeah, you
know, and if you don't drink good, I don't. I you know,
this was an occasion. So I had a bottle of wine, a
bottle, and maybe that's why I tell me hurt too, and that's why
I had a lot of gird in my throat. Did you have a bottle?
Yeah? You washed down twenty five dollars worth of buffet pizza with a
freaking bottle of KIANTI. I wonder why you exploded your porcelain bowl. When
you go home you have forty slivers of pizza and a bottle of red and
explode the ball you did. I went in the backyard fertilizer. It's like,
man, just don't don't imagine I need to make imagine, imagine it.
I dare you your dog? If you had a dog, you'd be
looking at you like, bro, Yeah, what stealing my moves? The
hell? You're an animal? The dog sitting on the couch and changing the
palls on YouTube TV while you're out back, shaking and shivering, lunched over.
I think he's taking my woman. Well, good pizza of you,
Kevin. It is a unique place. Is there one? Is it over
near the colony as there's one that way up north, but we went to
the one down in Dallas. We went to Double D's before the bar,
Double D's, oh over in Design. First time i'd been to Double D's.
Cool. Yeah, incredible place. Yeah. Do they live up to
their name? Not a booby bar. Boobs and ass hot hot, really
good drinks and the rare place that does a lunch box. Once you guys
made Probably probably not? Have you guess if I haven't had a lunchbox,
have you? It's a cheap beer, usually Schlitz, but then I have
Schlitz amaretto and orange juice. It's a lunchbox. Incredible sounds, gross,
sounds, gross, taste amazing and it's an iconic classic drink for back in
the olden days. Coming up next, the most important thing in the world.
We have one of the world's biggest stars in town tonight. Did it
sneak up on you like it snuck up on us. We'll talk about it
next. Of ninety seven one the Free
