This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one freak. Well, well,
well it is a good Monday morning. It's Game seven night Rangers Astros,
and obviously you know we want to go. Mike Siroy about an hour and
a half ago, was like, dude, let's screw it, let's go
to Houston. And I was like, great, cool, but how are
we gonna get down? There were going out of pocket for this, like
what's the drill? Like, I don't know. It's a I'm not a
spur of the moment guy either, who needs plans a lot of the time.
Let's be the people that we wish we were, yes and the people
I wish I was the kind of guy I would be like, f it,
I'm gonna go do the most the incredible thing today and often I'm not.
Well, you've increased my confidence about wanting to go and like just saying
I don't know, caution, meet wind, yes, and fly away caution
because we're going, but we need a lot of logistics. We're gonna touch
our program director Zach at eight twenty, who we called him at six fifty,
so an hour and after ninety minutes of working on it, he'll join
us at date twenty to give us an update and let us know if there's
any possibility that we can and do our show at the iHeart Houston Building.
Now, okay, which we have zero us personally have zero relationship with any
of those stations. The company might he's working on that. Yeah. But
then I was talking to Ben Rodgers out in the hall. Ben Rodgers have
have been in skin show with Christina and Steve ten to two, the playmaker,
And Ben said, I got something for you and ladies, gentlemen joining
us now is big Ben Rogers. Oh my god, on the throne.
Look right next to you, look to your right. Oh yeah, hey,
how you doing? Man? You've lost a lot of weight. Hey,
let n't see you slither in here. I love the downbeat so freaking
much. You got this has all the energy of a lawn care for of
a lawn share Friday or lawn care Friday, lawnchare Friday. But you're talking
about hitting the road. You guys don't have a sponsor, You don't really
have a reliable vehicle. Yeah. And I'm hearing this happen spontaneously, and
I'm thinking, man, this is so badass. And so I was talking
to Kevin. I'm like, I as soon as I heard you all doing
this, I raced up here and got here early because the energy of it
is awesome. But I was talking to Kevin, he goes. We went
and looked at the station vehicle and it's not in great shape. I mean,
it's kind of okay, but I don't know what's under the hood.
We haven't started it. Yeah, Extendy had a penny and he checked the
tread on the tire. I think we're okay, and the inspection sticker is
up to date. That's all I can tell you about it. And it
needs a washing, right. Well, I just thought, you know,
Kevin, you know that I'm also an advertiser. Skin and Eye advertised we're
investing in we're in the station, and we advertise on the station, and
so what if I just don't donated my wife's s u V from compliments of
roller Town as as an advertisement. I have not asked her, and she
was in a bad mood when I left the house, but JJ could try
to get her on the phone a bad mood to have her. You haven't
asked her cat Hey, guys, Oh, she's she's more perky now because
it's not just me. I'm still in a bad mood. If if,
if I Cat, is there a better chance of you saying yes to something
if Soroy, Danny and Kati and JJ ask as opposed to me asking for
something? Yeah? Absolutely, Kat, I have a question. Hi,
it's Danny. Hi. Can we borrow your car for what to drive to
Houston with me and Siroy and Kevin Turner, just just for overnight. We'll
bring it back tomorrow and we'll even fill it up with guests. Right.
No, No, I have to take slee. I really don't care.
Are you serious now? Siroy has taken up smoking again. I have filtered
cigarettes, but all the jeweler No, he's a red man, traditional sergs
sold on a second. That's not done in my car. Soroy just got
comfortable talking to my wife and hiked his leg up all the count legs.
That is an our movie. CAT would like to invite you to come to
Houston with us, and Danny and Kevin aren't coming anymore. That's sounds you
know what about? I bet she's talking to us Bluetooth. Now are you
with your personal trainer right now? What are you doing? I'm dropping kids
off at school? Which one? I just dropped Miles off, drop Grace
off, and I have three dogs with me? She said, school,
not pool? Right, yeah? Making sure can Grace hop on? Right?
Hey, Grace? Hi, Grace? Do you know if is it
okay of our morning show borrows mom's suv for twenty four hours? No?
Oh, why I'm joking? Will I drive nothing? Hush puppies. You
can drive the ninety seven one the freak station over advertising that you say what
you want. Yeah, they'll know you say what you want. Absolutely.
You know it comes equipped with a carton fine, all right, love you
cat? Okay, bye, my cat? Hey options Okay, but I
I that's awesome that she's willing to do that, and it would be compliments
roller Town. But so we almost traded that suv in On Friday we were
at prosper Ford, and we could try prosper Ford if you wanted to.
I mean, because Kat's car is like a twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen gross
U And I know you guys are high rollers and you'd rather be in something
brand new. We could try to call our guy Edwin the GM at prosper
Forward and see if they want to play ball. I have Prosper squarely on
my roster, all right, and I love it. I mean, hell,
okay, and he has an suv too. I mean I'm assuming I
was up there and they had a stacked inventory. I usually only dry halfway
up the toll way, though, was there You'd have to go the whole
wayy, But I could ask him if you do you guys want me to
ask him? Yes? Now on the freak car joining us now on the
free catline, it is Edwin, the GM at Prosper Ford. Edwin,
how are you doing this morning? Brother? Hey, I'm doing good.
Good morning? When hey, good morning, you're you're on the air with
the downbeat. I wanted to see if my friends that host a morning talk
radio show could ask a favor a few and uh, it's gonna be on
our tab, So go ahead, get edwhen we are we don't do technically
any spots or anything for Prosper, but we have put Prosper on our roster,
and if we need a new vehicle, we are without question going to
take the tollway the whole way and hit Prosper. So any other compliments or
before we you're doing great. So we just had this idea like two hours
ago, maybe less that we want to go down to Houston and go to
Game seven and watch our fighting Texas Rangers compete and damn it win the American
League Championship Series. But we're worried about our safety. We're worried about the
quality vehicle that can get us there in one piece, something we can trust,
something that comes from the best dealership in DFW. And uh, we're
wondering if there's any chance you might have a little something lying around the lot
that could help us get down there on one piece, get us back up
here safely tomorrow and uh and do it all in style. Is there anything
you might be able to help us out with? Man, I think I
got a couple brand new expeditions I can put you in. Seriously, serious,
is that really something? Is that really something? Camouflage? Do we
want red or blue for the Rangers and we want black for the funeral?
Hey? Man, let's what time do you need them by it? Are
you serious? You might give us a loaner from Prosper and get us down
there safe? Yeah, no worries, Man, I got you unbelievable dude
partnership. It really is. Man. Oh, my God, makes the
dream work? Well, what time when we need to here? By noon?
Is that the He's like, get your ass up here, all right?
The person picking it up will be Kevin Turner to you are andr for?
How does this work when you just zip up there? I mean I
don't know. Hey, have Kevin go talk to my guy Stu Guy,
my new car director, and he'll have it gashed up and ready to go.
Oh my god, this is great. Minimal paperwork A copy of a
driver's license. Does it have to be our driver's license? Can it be
Ben's? Yeah? We'd like this all under Rogers. I do got Bens
and Skins because they both fought cars from my show. Whichever you prefer,
scret so let's put it. Let's put on skin then yeah, definitely for
sure. Edwin, Thank you dude. This is amazing. Uh and now
our guys are gonna be able to get to Houston safely. Thank you?
Hey no promenaded? When? Wow? Yeah, Prosper are you ready?
Here we go? If you need a board and you want to get the
Houston safely, call Prosper forward. It's lack driving an awesome thing on wheels.
Prosper for Prosper dude. Incredible Okay, incredible vehicle. I'm check thanks
to Prosper for brand as new. Huh, this is amazing. So that
box is big time checked. Yeah. Now, the only thing that could
throw and wrinkle into this would be if we don't get hotels, game tickets,
and a place, the biggest one, a place to broadcast our show
tomorrow morning. And Zach will be here in three minutes to give us an
update on what he's been working on over the last ninety minutes. But my
my confidence rate was like he had a three percent when he first brought it
up. Then it got up to like seventeen percent, and then by you
know, seven forty five, I was coming up to like fifty percent.
And now I'm kind of like sixty percent. I'm like sixty eight percent.
Right now, we're going We're going to f Houston. We're going in game
seven. Hey, even if we're not going to the game, if that
falls through, let's just go take that damn expedition and ride it all over
the place. See the belt Line loop. It just talk to each talk,
just chat to each other. Getting beat on board the playmaker for real.
Incredible. Well, we could take Cat's car too, and just take
two cars. Keviy can go by himself. He has on race. It's
like the Cats will be the cigarette car. Yeah, smoking and smoking.
Love you boys, dudet go Ben Rogers spinning skin the serious here now and
now we got another potential playmaker. He's ever been not been on the air
with us. We'd like to introduce uh, the people of the Metroplex to
our program director, Zach the people's program director. What's up, dude?
I discovered I'm really not needed now. I mean, Ben in prosper just
took care of everything, I mean not everything, all right, So the
first thing we needed was, like, I guess, permission that it's a
decent idea and let's do it right. And that came pretty quickly. I
think you agreed it was a fun, cool idea. The timing works out,
we can get down there, no problem with you a lot of amount
of time after our show and before first pitch. The main biggest question right
now, I guess would be the availability of a studio in Houston for us
to do the show tomorrow morning. And have you tried on that at all
or what's how do we look working on that with our Is it called Sisters
station? Is that what it's called? We call them our brother station just
to sound a little bit more hip. Yeah, but our brother station in
Houston. They're looking for a room for you guys. You need a room,
right, just three of you, Just so we contacted them. They're
not all into the idea that people from Dallas are coming down to try to
beat the Astros, mind you, but they said, if they're gonna find
us a room now, being they're Astros fans, if it's a crappy room,
are gonna stick you in the janitor room? They're gonna stick you in
the men's room. Are they gonna stick you in the breakroom? Yeah?
I don't know, but they're looking for a room. In this case,
we cannot be choosers. So any room they decide on is gonna work fine
for us as long as there's equipment in that room and not just a urinal
and a sink. Let me ask you, guys, if the shoe was
on the other foot room would we give a station from Houston if they were
coming here, we probably just kicked bo out and just put them next door
at the Lone Star, right, Yeah, who's our biggest competition. Here's
knock them off here for a while and I'll help get Sorry Billy the kid.
Yeah, I well, we have twenty five rooms in this building.
Yeah, there's so many rooms. I mean the place that we broadcast in
when they were updating this one. That's that's a great point. I've yet
to be in a radio station since COVID. That's lacking room. Yeah,
exactly right. Yeah, Plus we always have Cats Media Group to send them
to in a real pickle, yes, where they send us when the rats
infested the building, Yeah, we could send them there, whole other building.
They won't even have to deal with us. So for real, have
you been in contact with someone and they in contact with Houston? And that's
what the search is right now. First of all, they're like, you
got tickets. I'm like, we'll worry about that. Yeah, where the
guy's gonna stay, We'll worry about that. But they're amenable to the idea
of us coming down and broadcasting from one of their facilities. Then they brought
up how they're gonna get here, and I'm like, we're very worried about
that. Well, what that problem has been solved? I cannot believe prosper
for just said, here's gonna be a brand new whatever suv, brand new
just and just through the keys written the Cavio's palm min am I the one
who's got to go because good reason. So I feel safer times as far
as not having to look for an iHeartRadio station somewhere between here and is Houston,
which we would be doing. Yeah, as a backup, yes for
taking the station the station vehicle conked out on us because we don't know how
many miles are left on that Yeah, all right, vehicle is good.
So we're saying they're just trying to finalize a rum or whatever and engineering like
whatever the connection is, Like, is this gonna be okay? How does
that work? Though? By the way, we will have microphones and then
we'll just tune in to their signal. I don't understand it would have worked
the same way you guys do in your life anywhere. Yeah, you know
you're plugging to that box, you got your headsets on, and you do
your thing. Right. Well, that's the non technical angle, Like,
that's what I would say, is that we're gonna plug our headsets in and
do our thing. But on the other side of that, someone needs to
figure it out how it all works. And certainly somebody will be there in
the morning. They know that we'll be arriving at probably five thirty or five
forty five to let us in. Yeah. Yes, but the people that
are going to be there are going to be much like the three of you
in this room more now, I can't exactly that's something. Yeah, So
again, put the shoe on the other foot. If somebody came here and
they said, okay, we're broadcasting from both studio, could you kicked them
out? Yeah, okay, and they would say, okay, Dingo,
you need a little technical help over here. Huh, you're here. Yeah,
I'm here to be able to do for them very little, Zach,
very very little. Yeah. Concerned. They have the three guys in Houston
that are as helpless as the three I'm looking at right now. I'm looking
at one of the stations, one of the stations morning shows, the Sean
Salisbury Show. We're gonna be I think he knows how a com rex works.
We're gonna have a stress Shawn Salisbury trying to help us. Oh no,
all right, I don't know. It feels like it would get angry
quick, dude. All right, like we're going. Are we gonna leave
DFW and not be positive that we have a place to broadcast and people to
let us in the building and make sure we're I think I'm ninety seven to
one the freaking DFW. A couple of more details to work out, but
I think that you guys are safe right now. If you want to start
picking out your Creed a playlist for the ride, I already got it.
You already got that. Yeah, okay, I think you're safe having that
ready to go three hours of what you're gonna just play your three hits over
and over. You know we're going deep cuts, You're gonna have to go
deeper. We'll mixing the Jardians commercial a few times looped in if I'm driving.
That was one benefit of taking the freak Wagon is it unlikely has bluetooth
capability, so we would be able to to not have to listen to Creed
for four and a half hours. There's no doubt it does not have bluetooth
capability. So we've got that handled. And we need a good car that
has like just a good vibe because we're gonna be calling into the other shows
throughout the day as well. I would imagine if they want us the bands
feels like we're so we're just going and I need to like we're going to
cancel, like you have childcare covered. Oh he'll be fine, he's too
yeah, yeah, ye, a bunch of food, right right right?
Yeah, just Gray's on him and Geraldine will look out for one another.
Yeah, they're best friends. Geraldine your dog my dog. Yeah. Yeah,
she's older than him, so yeah, she's I'll go up to prosper
and get the car. I don't mind doing that, although I don't think
my kid's that smart, because he did a couple of days ago pointed at
my dog's buttle and said, what's inside Geraldine's penis? It's a fair question,
and I basically have been trying to unpack that question all weekend at that
penis. Yeah, it's a magical question. That's insane. I'm looking at
my iHeart stations in Houston. Do you think news radio seven forty you could
take a day off the news just still let it know, so they're essential.
What's KPRC nine fifty Real text is real talk? It's an AM station.
I don't know if they're gonna have the updated equipment. Dude, for
real, are we going to be able to broadcast somewhere and have it properly?
Don't like that's if once we get the road, we're not going to
be back here in this building tomorrow, you know. So if you know,
I just I just don't want to get that call after you know,
the last outs recorded that says no, go on the station. You guys
have to drive and we're not driving back. We're not not after the game
that is, and so like, if we're there, that's it. We
have to do the show from there. Okay, So it's a thirty almost
a thirty. They're gonna be getting some people into the office because I don't
think they wanted to start on this at six am like we did. Sure,
so we're gonna need to secure room, make sure you can broadcast tomorrow
morning, and by the way, broadcasting from Houston tomorrow morning. If you
win, you're just going to torture everybody in that building's loading over this.
Rangers come from behind victory, yes, and stealing two games on the road
to do it, and we'll steal a bunch of stuff and equipment from their
building. We will knock that place over. So one of the conditions want
that I pulled this off is that you guys have to be such gloating homer
a holes on this broadcasting that we never have to do this again because we'll
never have us back, that we're banished from Houston. Can we can we
do that? I'm on board. So it's one and done. If we're
doing something like this, I don't have to worry about Yeah no, never
again. Okay, I'm gonna need you guys to follow up with that.
Gotcha. We may we may piss them off so bad even if we lose,
so either way, yeah, yeah, yeah, either way, we're
not getting invited back. Yeah, all right, we're doing let's go.
Let's go. We don't even talk about last night's game yet. We're going
to Houston towards Let's let's do it in Dingu's Morning News, Dingo's Morning News.
Helly, Mike, you're gonna push our frinkle spots in the next break.
We'll be right back. We'll talk about last night's game and have a
full edition of Dingu's Morning News next On ninety seven, won the Freak
