Down beat on ninety one freak in sports, Well, the few stories at
seven that might have your interest, including the one that might have been touched
on in the past a little bit. I know it's been around for a
long time, but I thought it was a little topical giving yesterday's Leyton vandersh
news involves a murder an open case. I guess it's a question of it
was a murder or not. And much more fun and weird stuff in sports
at seven? Why is Tiger Woods in the news? Get that in the
seven o'clock hour as well. I wanna go ahead and get this going a
little bit early. I have tickets to give away, Mike, you do,
Yeah, what do we got? You're gonna have to combine the powers
of three bands for one ticket giveaway, Primus, A Perfect Circle and Pussifer
all together forming Csanta. It's April twelfth at the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory.
And if you want to go to that, if you want to go
to there, two and four, seven, eight, seven, one,
nine seven to one, we'll take callers one and two, one and two
today give you a pair of tickets to Csanta Susanta. Yeah, all right,
Pussifer primus, perfect circle together all at once, joining forces at last,
Avengers assemble, Susanta, callers one and two. You can have it.
All is this, we should do this, We'll do this. This
is the thing we should do. We're doing it. I know you know
Ssanta, I mean sixty in Italian. Oh, that's cescanta santa, and
it's that's sixty in Espanos Hispanics. Italian Hispanics does say it like messy or
our messy Florenti op, that's fifty sanquenta sixty cescenta, but it was spelled
sosanta. Does your fiance yell at you in Spanish now when you're in big
trouble? Really? Because I would? Did she see an idea of meo
a lot? She doesn't yell, She just either leaves or just goes silent
for seventy two hours. It's the right play, not bad, it's the
right right. Is she bilingual? Oh yeah, fluent perfect? Oh yeah,
she's great. You can't even understand when it's happening. Yeah, you
can't even understand what's going on. And you always have this constant like they're
talking about me, aren't they? But you're right, usually when people think
that they're not right, but in your case they are. I was like,
can we get it's rude to not have a translator right now? Something?
Tell me in English what was just said? I would like to join
in on the conversation. Already moved on. Do you have the app cooking
translates things? Why don't you do that when you go over there? Because
that's enough of my mind? What? Like? What? What are you
thinking? What are you thinking about? I'm I know enough Spanish to get
bid and follow along a little bit. But do you think you understand more
than they think you do? Oh for sure? Like you're picking up yeah,
yeah, And you want to say that, how long have you guys?
How long have you been together? Five years? Six years, four?
Seven? It can keep going? Which of those it's over five years?
Six or seven? I think like seven. If I lived with someone
who spoke fluent Spanish, I think by now I like to say, I
have a pretty dang good grasp. Well she doesn't speak it at home,
I would require it. She speaks as a man. Yeah, Well,
if you did that that whole time as a man, as man require in
your home, you would you would basically not be fluent by now. But
yeah, it'd be ten times better. Why don't you do that. Let's
talk Spanish. Uh no, No, we're trying to better you, like
this would be, this would better you. I'm good enough. I'm good
enough, and this is the whole thing. Though, it's interesting to me.
I'm glad that you believe that that's good. That's good for you.
Yeah, we're suggesting there was I think me doing pretty good. The TV
would be on Telemundo twenty four to seven. Yeah, I have I have
the DVR set for uh lagra meta eco stell for my evening's entertainment. You
just want to watch the Juggie Weather girl. You don't know me? As
was her name? Yeah, the girl went the super Bowl every year.
Yeah, the bubble, but South America. It is supreme or whatever her
name is. Something is supreme. Seriously, take take this task. Man,
learn Spanish as signs and as signs anyway, dude, I took three
semesters of Spanish and college. Not great, but often get in a fight
with my professor. We took a lot of stuff in high school and college
and none of us remember anything. Right. Yeah, you got a boy.
The more I get older, I still think. I think education is
becoming more and more worthless. Uh, you guys been having some bug problems
lately or what. I don't know if I'm saying problems, but my god,
yes, huge big flying bugs, thin legs, huge wings everywhere.
They look like kind of well, it's hard to describe them because they do
look almost look like extra large mosquitoes, but they've had huge wings that are
a little more fluffy kind of with the wings than their thin shaped mosquito wings.
They look like extra large mosquitos that have spent the evening at the landing.
They drunk, no coordination at all. Whether they're flying high or low,
they don't know. But they're trying to get in the house. Oh,
they definitely want the house. And they want my dog to be preoccupied
with them if one gets in her. But whatever you want to All the
mosquito hawk radars just darting around the room until I go grab it and throw
it outside. So these flies have a lot of different names. You might
have heard them been referred to as skeeter eaters, crane flies, Jimmy spinners,
mosquito hawks, golly whoppers, gallon nippers, mosquito nippers and more.
I've primarily known them as mosquito hawks, which is you know, I've learned
is kind of a mythical name, mosquito in the hawk. They're actually called
crane flies, right, that's their actual name, crane flies, Mosquito hulk,
mosquito hulks. They have the name mosquito Hulk. Is welcome in my
home movie? Yeah, mosquito hulks show me with the bathroom is Dady in
for a minute? Incredible? They just kept shifting between characters. The mosquito
hulk so like they have the legs of a daddy. Long legs, but
fascinating that part of their name, crane flies is the actual scientific name,
but mosquito eaters is apparently a lot of people around here call them. And
it turns out they don't even eat mosquitos and they don't even have mouths,
much like Nick Cannon. Their only going life is to reproduce. That's all
they do. They are not around for any reason other than to hang out
for two weeks and then they die, so they try to reproduce within those
two weeks. Very short life span. They're not predatorial. They just drink
fluids, water, nectar that's their sustenance. They're only around for sometimes a
few days, but yeah, I think their lifespan is around two weeks.
It highly disappointed me that they aren't mosquito eaters and they don't help because you
read something skier eater and you're like, hell, yeah, all right,
I'm not going to kill them anymore, you know, not that I don't
really mess with that stuff anyway, but if you you know, if they're
in your house, you might get out of here, or you may swat
it outside. It bother you walk in your house and they're flocking to the
door, It's like, get out of here. They let me in my
house. They do want in your house if I open my front door.
I don't know if it's the climate or they feel the coolness of the you
know, the reliant air conditioning. It's the best. He wouldn't want in
my house, of course. But they're just all just caked over the front
door, and they're they're not that troublesome, you know, if you if
you have a pet, they're fine. Annoying. I'll see them get caught
up in yeah, yeah, for sure, I'll see them get caught up
in spiderwebs. And I've read that more often than not, they get tangled
up in a spider web. The spider can't even get to them because of
the way their legs are. They they just kind of hang out there.
Sometimes they'll get free, but more often than not, the spider can't even
to get to their main body. I just I'm learning today that they don't
actually eat mosquitoes. Yeah right, Why is it good? Then? How
do they get that reputation? Why is it? Why are they a good
thing when it comes to the mosquito population, because that's another thing when they're
around, I don't see mosquitoes. Do we know that they're good for that?
I don't know that we know that there last news had I didn't read
the article of Dallas News said that this was a positive thing, that we're
seeing a lot more of them, and I just assumed that it had to
do with mosquitos. I know that they grow in their larva is developed.
I believe in standing water, much like the mosquito. So maybe they're taking
over their I don't know, taking over their home. I think it's just
a sign that winter is over and spring is abundant. Maybe that's the good
Okay, I don't think they actually, yeah, I don't know what they
like. They're not replacing mosquitoes, if anything, they just mean mosquito season
is coming. Bake it incredible. I just can't get over having a ten
day lifespan. I know, like, what what do you do? They
have sex every day? The only do they have sex, well, they
reproduce, So yeah, I don't know. The only two redeemable things I
could find about them in my studies were they they're put on earth to reproduce,
and also that they help, uh decompose dead plants. That's it,
that's all. And they're there's there, and there's an abundance of them,
like if you ever wonder if an animal not like that, but if they're
put on earth to reproduce at a high rate and then they just go away
and don't do anything. Could their numbers ever get so big though that we're
outnumbered? Not in a traditional like well we already might be outnumbered, but
I mean like to where you're like there's not even more space, Like they're
taking up too much of our oxygen. I think you're off on a lot
of your questions here. I don't know if they require oxygen. I don't
know how the reproduction works, and I don't also know if they if I
don't remember what, I don't know, And that's why I will transition to
birthdays real quick, thank you, real quick. The reason we're seeing a
lot of them is because of the mild winter and wet spring and record high
almost summer like temperatures late in the winter, and you add all that up
and it creates, uh, the perfect condition for these crane flies, mosquito
hawks, whatever you choose to call them, to mature from the larva to
full grown flying adults. So in the larval stage they can survive up to
three years. In many of the adult the rain flies that we're seeing right
now may have simply been larva patiently waiting years for the right conditions to come
to light. That's why we're seeing an explosion in the crane fly population.
So it's when the temperatures warm enough, they emerge from hibernation and they end
up moseying their way right into our homes. Yeah, as I said,
Kevin, mm hm, boy, they are the drunken idiots of this guy.
Somebody on an article I read said they're like the like the rumbas of
animals. They just kind of bonk into something, then off they go and
then oh my god, there's a light and then they die. Like that's
how you spend your week. Yeah, I looked at my porch last night
and it was chaos. There was I could see one hundred of them around
my two porch lights. Yeah, do you want to go out there?
They don't do anything doing. They're not even having an orgy because they're reproducing.
Maybe I don't well, shout out, yeah, Skeeter Eaters. They're
doing their part for our eist, whoever that whatever that is, we don't
know. But keep it up, guys. That's our first mosquito topic of
the week. Let's move on to birthdays guys. Today. Clayton Kershaw is
thirty six years old and he's happy to be thirty six. Send him a
text earlier, did you? He said, thanks, man, appreciate it.
Show us. Yeah, I'm gonna give you my phone do that.
Just hold it up from there. We had one one request of you in
the first segment. He did get him a birthday party one year. Start
managing your your lying a little bit, don't. Is this like your Travis
Frederick dinner when you happen to walk into a building and Clayton Kershaw was there.
And then now you claim he attended your birthday party. Yes, that's
not like the Travis Frederick dinner. That was an open invite. He did
come to my birthday party one year. Do you think it was pretty bad
ass to walk into Milo's and go, oh, it's Clayton Kershaw and we
all sit in the corner on what should we bother him? Let me tell
you this. I we used to get Clayton Kershaw was a He's awesome,
awesome and a very charitable young man. And we had him two or three
years in a row come visit the Normathon, so all right, so I
would book him and I only got him through his wife Ellen. It was
amazing as well. And I don't know how I got her email address,
and I made the request through Ellen, and I think three years ago Clayton
would show up. And the whole time I just tried to like every email
it's an Ellen. You know, Hey, if Clayton needs me or needs
help getting the building, just text me, you know. And he would
never text me. Like my operation get Clayton Kershaw's phone number. It's wasn't
all that subtle, but it just never worked. But here's the trick.
I'll tell you this. Back in the day, I got Clayton Kershaw and
Jordan Speith to both come to the Normathon, and the way I got him
was to sell one to the other. So I was like, hey,
Jordan'speat's coming. He wants to meet, you know, Clayton. And it
is before I really booked confirmed Clayton, and then I said told Clayton,
I'm like, hey, all right, I told Jordan, Hey, Clayton
Kershaw's coming. He wants you know, he would you guys are gonna overlap.
And it thankfully worked. So I got to I don't know if introduced
they've probably met before, but get in the bowels of Light Star. What's
the TV plus star Power Star Power Light Star. You couldn't think of it?
Got to set them up in a back room. That's pretty ingenious.
Yeah, it was probably stupid, right, but the worst case, I
said, oh my god, Clayton, stupid if it doesn't work, But
it worked. Right worst case, I was, oh my god, Clayton
just canceled. I'm so sorry, but we're so honored to have you.
You know, a lot of people thought the Right Brothers were stupid. Yeah,
and then look at yeah, look at us now. Air travel is
perfect. Yeah, no problems there lately, nothing just killing it. Never
got any of their phone numbers, not real friends, her birthday, Clayton
and enjoy the l a traffic for another year. Bunbe is fifty one,
Houston with the H town dirty South, right, Mikey Yeah, Man,
yeah, Man. If you saw Bunbe though, and you were going to
say, go uptown, but you wanted to call him by his formal name,
what would you guess his formal probably like Lawrence Williams or something, something
awesome, something perfectly is it? I did not know that really. I
swear that was a gift point awarded. He's got a burger joint Houston.
It's really goodherger. What's it called tril Burger, trail Burger or trill Burger,
trail Berger, trail Berger. That is that is Southern Gary. Jules
is fifty five. Nothing. Nobody knows who that is? Think you do.
He did a song that it was on a Call of duty commercial famous
one a long time ago, or maybe it was Halo, but it was
like this song is like a sad sad World, Bad World, Mad World,
Mad World. I know Mad World. That's got to be him,
but that was his original Mad World. No, No, he's fifty five,
so it could have been. Good job, dude. But when you
look it up, does Gary Jewels come up? Oh? It is yeah,
Mad World song by Gary Jewles. It has a great song. You
know that commercial was very iconic too for one of those games. Andy Reid's
sixty six, A big Nuggie day for him. A nugget cake gross gross?
It is a gross giant, Oh nug Bruce Willis is sixty nine.
Oh funny? Is it cake? Make a giant chicken nugget? But it's
cake, But they can make that perfect. It looks like a giant,
you know, rigid chicken nug but delicious. What about a chicken nugget cake
that's chicken? Well? The is it cake? People couldn't do that,
but somebody probably could. I know an almost three year old that would love
that. Just a gigantic nug with three candles on it. It'd be pretty
gross after you cut into it if it was chicken. If it was really
chicken, it's a huge okay chicken. Well, I don't like my chicken
things. But I like my chicken thin anyway, So it's already kind of
grossing me out thinking about it. Benskinshaw, though, will be at Pluckers
in Dallas tomorrow for good chicken. See if they have chicken cake off green
Yeah, audio as you ask your server if they have chicken cake, desertionion
fus chicken cake. I heard you guys have chicken cake. No, sir,

I went to this year was game seven of the On the Road. The
Road, God, I'm not kidding you too, or did you go to
some others? Yeah? I think that's real fans here, guys. Oh
that's incredible diehards, long suffering. When I lived in La interviewed at Mira
Max and it was when Harvey Weinstein worked there, and I did not get
the job. And I think it's because I wasn't a sexy young woman.
