This is the Downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak good Morning Metroplex,
safe travels on your way into work. And when you do get to
work, you can still listen to us because we start at six am here
on the Downbeat, and we have a dingush morning news coming up for you
in thirty minutes. Some Rangers and Cowboys stuff there as well, Dingo all
over the audio. And that's also he got his hands on a special Game
three preview song that Fox sent out that involved ac DC. We'll hear that.
Oh well, yeah, eight thirty and then uh, you know,
nine o'clock you get some stuff on Austin Hedges. We did that whole Ranger
segment earlier, didn't even talk about his amazing at bat and maybe may maybe
we'll wait to that in a little bit. Okay, but for now,
let's do our Ghost Pepper Pavilion picks from Friday, where we predict three things
that might happen in the Cowboys and Rams game. Yeah. I will admit
I didn't hear one second of the TV commentary anything, So if there was
something that was relying on that, I'm gonna have to trust you too.
I had some distracted viewing again. I was doing a live stream thing with
some pals of ours, a very fun time. I had a blast doing
it. It seems so fun. I checked in for a few minutes,
but I couldn't keep it on there just because I had to focus, yeah,
game on the game, and just on the audio and all that stuff.
But if it's up, it's something I'll go back and listen to because
it seemed really funny. Yeah, it's our friends the Dumb Zone invited me
to do a live Cowboy watching thing with them. It is on YouTube.
It's like three hours. It's fun. Good people over there at the Dumb
Zone. So the point system that we have for the Ghost Pepper Pavilion cow
always three for all very subjective. Yeah, and it's very bad for me
so far. I haven't got a point yet this year. And look,
this is week eight. It's about damn time I get a point. I
agree, I want you to. Maybe next week you'll get one. You
haven't really even threatened points though. Maybe I'm just not good at it.
Maybe you know, and we're starting to see that that's probably what's going on
here. The current scor is I do have four and a half. Danny
has one, Kevin has zero, and the listeners have half a point.
Oh my, I'm getting dunked on out here. Well, I guess I'll
start because I was in the last place. That's how this typically goes.
And here's my first one from Friday. Let's go back in time and hear
what I predicted. Surprise mother prediction number Brandon Aubrey will make three field goals,
two of which are fifty yards or more. Oh, okay, okay.
Now, first of all, Dak says that Brandon Aubrey's nickname is Butter,
so we need to probably handle up on that first. Yeah. Yeah,
it's okay with Butter Brandon, Butter Aubrey. Yes, Butter Brandon.
I think that's great. Obviously it's smooth leg. Butter is all they they
say that was the genesis of that. Uh yeah. And the prophecy that
he's not going to miss a field goal kick all season long lives as he
was two for two and he did hit a fifty eight yarder, but he
did not hit three, and he did not hit two over fifty. When
he drained a fifty eight yarder in the first half, I felt really good
about my chances to get to three for three with two plus five, and
you know, didn't have enough steam. I think that had his fifty eight
yarder been from sixty or further, it could have been there could have been
a discussion to maybe award a half. Maybe I'm not sure, probably not,
probably not, though I don't need it. I don't want your pity.
I want to earn it. I will say he was off yesterday because
he missed or he made one, but it was a little left. It
wasn't a fold center cut, and I didn't like that. I'm seeing issues
with Brandon Aubrey that I'm tracking. His first extra point kind of sailed right
just to Tad. He was loose. Yeah, it's clear that he's starting
to get to get tired. You know, he's never been to a full
NFL season. Yeah, it might be fatigue. It is definitely foot fatigue.
Sleepy. He's gotten a little sleepy. And if anyone knows about being
sleepy, it's me. Now, Oh, okay, number two here this
is where it's also a game of strategy. I boned myself by not looking
at all of the elements in play, such as weather. What do you
get when you guzzle down sweets Kevin's prediction number two. Jerry Jones will still
refuse to close the curtain and Dak will throw a pass to a receiver,
but it's not caught due to the glare from God's son. Okay, why
do I react to every I love it? Okay, Okay, No,
you slammed your d in the door on that one. Yeah, when Danny
looked up the weather forecast immediately after I predicted it, and so it could
be cloudy on Sunday, well no, he said, it's noon. It's
tough. So the sun is not gonna make it to the glare window.
No, it's gonna be straight above. Turned out, the sun never came
out yesterday. It didn't even come out. But had it come out,
it would have been straight above. Pretty much, here's my chance. And
I thought I had some insider trading on this one. Who Kevin's third prediction
On the Fox TV broadcast, there will be a crowd shot of a fan
in the stands dressed as Mario. Or you'll see a crowd shout of a
pumpkinhead. No, because that's what I would have missed, So neither of
those I was. I thought, I could you guys into thinking I was
going to the game dressed as Mario and that would get me the chance of
being on TV. But instead we just got a lot of cutaway shots to
the guy who wears the huge helmet on his head. That guy's at every
damn sporting event. Yeah, bowl helmet man to make betters worse for me.
Oh he's reaching on this god day. Do you guys see what happened
in Dolphin's Patriots Yesterdayvil's day? Not as much as I would have liked.
Oh oh yes, he's in his walk. Did he do it? Apparently?
So the one Dolphin game I couldn't watch. Oh I'm getting cashed.
He this isn't even venmo. Go ahead and look at the rushing line for
former Cowboy greet Ezekiel Elliott yesterday. Yes, seven carries for thirty six yards,
so you would think not a chance. He busted one off for fifteen.
Well he probably had one carry for thirty six yards and stuffed on the
the other six. Oh my god, there it is seventeen yards. He
had a seventeen yard run yesterday. It was beautiful, And I owe Mike
s Roy one hundred bucks. And he fed himself spaghettios too. There's one
Andrew Jackson, there's two, Andrew Jackson's three, Andrew Jackson's four, and
then I've drawn the last one. I've drawn Michael Jackson on that Andrew Jackson
to give you one hundred and joy spend recklessly much cocaine can you get for
that? He's like, it's Jardians. He's getting nights. You can throw
a whole night with a hunt down. Really, I don't know, Yeah,
you do, well, I tell you what their penis has written all
this money? What's that doing? Felt like a good bed at the time
when Zeke wasn't playing for anyone. Once he got signed, I knew our
action was live for a while, But boy, did I knew it was
going to happen eventually. How about he cracked off against the Fins too.
I know. It's just it's so poetic, like it's your year, man,
might be my year. Did you already know this? Or actually I
didn't know because it was on concurrent to the Cowboys game and I I was
I wasn't watching the Dolphins for the I hated that. Oh I would have
known it instantly, And no one tweeted me either, and does. No
one's paying attention, and we haven't talked about it in two or three weeks,
although I do feel like we mentioned it pretty much every week. One
hundred Zeek's rushing line, which is always about seven carries for thirty six yards,
this week happened to have a seventeen yard boomer on there. Did you
see it or no? No, I'm going to try to find it.
No, yeah, hey, yeah you should. You should get a gift
of it, a giff of it and put it in one of those like
video picture frames that just plays on a loop at your hependund dollars on that,
yeah, exactly one hundred dollars, and I'll give it a gift to
Kevio Wive Investment for Christmas, and you'll put it inside that pick make sure
of me having a piece of pie. Yeah, with Paul the boss man.
So no point for me, thank you. And you know what I
look, I'm not looking to win money off my friends. I just like
the action. And I will give you every opportunity to win this one hundred
or twenties or whatever you want back. You know the answer is essentially yes,
any offer you present to me. In an anonymous Freak survey Soroy and
I did tie for the most votes guys most likely to gamble? Yeah,
so yeah, yeah, what's up. Let's go to Danny Danny Danny had
I thought the best collection of picts of the week just overall. I thought
his high quality no offense, Mike, that's okay. I kind of agree
football the contact boort at any level, all right. Number one Kevin Burkhardt
will mention how little sleep Sean McVay has gotten this week now that he's a
new dad. Oh god, that's fantastic, but fantastic. Greg Olsen will
not be paying attention and ruin the moment with an awkward non sequitur. Ah,
just take the win for the whole season. That is beautiful. All
right, it's a great prediction. Let's see if any part or all of
that was true. Because I heard something and I saved it and I figured
we might want to discuss here on ninety seven won the Freak? Do you
think about this week for Sean McVay. Joyous, you know, congratulations to
he and Ronica on the birth of Jordan John McVeagh. And he told us,
yeah, obviously you're not getting asleep, right, it's a busy week,
and now he's faced with going into the half for the biggest defisode is
head Coaching Tenure. There is a good three or four seconds that follow that
of silence for maybe the first time in the entire broadcast of the day,
because Greg Olsen is the most verbose color guy in all of broadcasting. The
dude, does it stop talking? He didn't say anything. He was paying
attention. Well, what happened after right there? I just went to the
next segue to it whatever was on the you know, the next play.
But he didn't. He didn't. There was no evidence of Greg Olson not
paying attention and and firing off a random non sequitur. The caveat got you
a getting caveatt He's still a half point. No, I think that's a
fat point. I don't think it is because he was he didn't say anything.
I mean, he didn't say he didn't say a non sequitur. But
he may not have been paying attention. I mean, that's nailed. He
didn't non sequitur though, caveat like, he didn't even say anything. I
don't think that. I think that totally counts. Did he did he who's
the next one to talk. I think it was Burkhart just kind of looked
back to what was on the field. It was still a little baby cake,
little babyk Anyway, dude, full point three's up to you get.
I am not writing point seventy five of fing point three quarter. I would
have felt blessed to get a half because I got I got the whole thing
wrong. You were right, he said, long week. He said no
sleep Olsen said nothing. I mean had Olson immediately said yeah, congratulations to
show you know it's a that first week is a wild one. Whatever that
you can maybe argue that he did. I'm team full point now, Kevio.
You don't have any points, so you wouldn't know what Dan and I
are, what we feel like. I almost think Danny thinks it's just a
half point, though I would I would have been blessed. It would have
felt blessed. Hashtag blessed if I would have walked away with a half half
point? Is it not evenough for discussion? You've got a half point,
my friend? Should it be a full point? Daniel? It's not up
to me. What do you think? I think it's half point, but
I think he left in the caveat look the caveats are mostly there for comedy's
sake. Anyway, they shouldn't really be burning us JJ. Do we go
to you for a ruling half point? A full point for Daniel? Greg
Olsen is very talkative. So the fact that he didn't respond to that was
he really fully paying attention. Okay, So I give him a full point
for that. There it is out voted to one. There you full point
for Danny. What an honor. Here's Danny's second one. I'm the biggest
cowboy fan. Number two. Micah Parsons explodes on Sunday with a forced fumble,
three sacks, a block pass, and a crab walk. Oh,
forced fumble. He damn near had the forced fumble. I think he did.
No, they called it. They said that the ball was in the
grasp and they called that. They called it an incomplete pass. He did
have a pass knock down. He had one sack. You said he'd have
three, said he'd have three. Was there a crab walk? A monster
crab walk was the longest crab walk of his career to date? Or a
lion drag or whatever it was. It's a lion crawls. Fine, it's
a crab walk. They're mad at that's for continuously calling a crab walk a
lot, a lot a lot there. I think he wards it didn't happen.
Danny hit about four. He almost hit all but one of those things.
I think that if that had been a force fumble and not ruled in
any complete pass, I could lodge a complaint. But three QB hits.
He had eight pressures, three sacks, though I called the three sacks at
the first thing I said was three sacks and he had one second he got
one. Micah Parson had eight pressures, seven of them came under two and
a half seconds, tied for the most quick pressures in a game this season.
He's led or finished tied for the team leading pressures in six of the
seven games this year. That's still that's a little inside. I don't want
to demand, I don't I want to just throw points around. I'm okay
with a half point strictly on the length of the lion crawl. I thought
about this last night. I was okay with half point. Okay, I'm
going half point on Micah Parson's longest lion crawls get explode. Yeah, but
he kind of always you know, yeah, unless he doesn't long ago.
When he does, the Cowboys usually lose crawl of season Danny pick three.
There's no paying too tall for them to him and number three. The Cowboys
will attempt to execute an elaborate trick play. It will fail. Twitter goes
nuts, and McCarthy and Jerry spend the next week answering questions about it.
Man, I could have even possibly no, because you know what the quarterback
throwback to Uh uh good god, the Rams staff the two ye have to
Matt Stafford on the two point conversion. That's what I was thinking. Something
wild like that that just failed. You're like, why did they do that?
No, there's nothing. They throw it to the guy, the guy
with a broken hand and making them kind of lay out. It was such
a bad throw and then he cuts up scrapes of his elbow. He was
jacked up that thumb too. When the thumb kind of stuck in the helmet
for a minute. That was gross. Yeah, I thought they were post
from all right. No, uh, nothing on that. We're not just
handing these things out. But that's a point and a half, dude,
I feel solid perform with you guys. I think we can zip through mine
pretty quick. Go to mikey soft prediction one here in the ghost paper pavilion.
There will be an eighty plus yard touchdown in this game. No almost,
What was almost? If Turpin had a broke it and made it all
the way to the end zone special teams, didn't you? Kevo? We
almost made it? Yeah, no kidding almost was sixty seven on that three
Mike number two, you said, Wow, what a TACKLEO. We will
see many costumes worn at this game, including a Taylor Swift and a banana.
I saw him very few costumes compared to the other games I watched on
the NFL throughout the day, were cheerleaders dressed in costumes? Never found out
they never showed the cowboy cheerleaders. I never saw him. I don't recall
seeing the cheerleaders at all. I really don't now. And we did shoot
our banana allowance in the baseball game. I had three in there, those
kid's party and then losing steam, then just taking the costumes off and then
putting them back on because Dad's, like you said, we had to do
it the whole game. I'm glad Dad wasn't there when I had the damn
cow outfit on Game seven in Houston put it back on. No, good
luck, I'm hot, too hot, Mikey number three, he pulls another
rabbit out of his head. Third, pretty ah, someone will have to
visit the blue medical tent because they ran full speed into the blue medical tent
and got injured. Well, that's man Bite's dog right there. Huh.
Bonus point if there's already someone in the blue medical tent tent and they get
further injured by the person running into Jesus, that's so good. I was
watching closely the medical tent over Matt Stafford. Possible there was two full points
just waiting for you. If somebody had just steamrolled into the Matt Stafford medical
tent, which he seems like he spent half the game in, and then
you see sort of the tent kind of rip and Stafford tumps half out the
other side of it, like, oh my god, he ran into Matt
Stafford who was in the tent. Uh. But I guess we'll have to
say no to that one. Yeah, we'll have to say what is joee
we have to do? You know, this is what we have to do.
We take chances. We tried quickly that the Eagles did win yesterday it
was thirty eight thirty one. They play the Cowboys next week. Obviously,
the Eagles did the brotherly shoved tush push ram Ham, but then they faked
it. They dated a fake tush push ram Ham brilliant and flipped it to
DeAndre Swift who took off like he was gonna push, takes off in motion
to the left. They flipped it to him and he walks in for a
touchdown. Is that right? It really is. This is becoming so unfair
now they're running plays off of the tush push. I'm gonna look that up.
It's so stupid. Yeah, that Zeke Scamper. So there's some of
that, maybe some more Kirk Cousins towards Achilles. Yesterday the other big NFL
news, and it was one of those where you could clearly see the calf
pop, Like hold those, I guess, but like this one, really
his calf like shuddered like he had just did climax or something. He was.
Yeah, you could see it pop and it's pretty disgusting. H But
there's that, all right. At nine o'clock, I've got special stuff for
you that involves Hedgy and maybe a couple other NFL things. We'll see.
But what involves Hedgy is he was on this podcast and give us some insight
to the Rangers that I'm pretty sure no one here in the metropugs has heard
yet and coming out next to though Dingo's Morning News with lots of special things
Danny, did Greg Olsen say a naughty word in the game yesterday? And
we will replay the brand new Rangers Game three hype song that you heard maybe
earlier in the show.
