Good morning, down Beat. This is your freaking Stars update, brought to
you by Not Jim. The Dallas Stars beat the Arizona Coyotes last night five
to two. Five different Stars scored goals in their efforts, extending their record
of forty two and nineteen. This is not Jim and that has been your
freaking Stars update. You're listening to the Downbeat on ninety seven to one,
the freak you know, superhit. We just air those. Jim would be
happy. It'd be like, all right, yeah, there's Stars update.
I thought Jim made some good points of his emails. You're willing to debate
and discuss rational people. We love y'all. We want you all to listen.
Yeah, remember that, remember that man Danny has a big update on
this sewage problem that we had with the Plano manhole cover ended up leaking a
bunch of waste, three Olympic sized pools worth of waste in the white Rock
Lake. Hy White Rock Lake cars. Yeah, yeah, the Corinthian Sailing
Club's White Rock Lake who had a regatta this weekend that has been canceled.
Yeah, thanks a lot, and the Vice Commodore had a lot to say
about it. Well, we have exclusive audio of the Vice Commodore's reaction to
what Plano did. Eight thirty buckle your pants? You got a cop at
nine, Mike, We do set that up. I did set that up.
Yeah, I think that'll actually be legit interesting. We have a police
officer calling in at nine o'clock. He doesn't know. We're probably gonna make
it. Ask a cop, just ask him some random stuff, but it's
primarily about car thefts and DFW. What kind of car do you have?
Are you a high risk candidate to have your car stolen? Car stolen?
In about thirty seconds too, how are cars stolen? New technology? The
latest? Why the numbers are skyrocketing of carthf's and DFW up forty year to
year? Are you safe? Are your children safe? Nine am? Don't
miss it? If you love your family, can't wait. That was very
inside editions. Have you plus stuff work and they've been doing it for forty
years on TV. Hot teasers work. Another text here. The whole station
just blew by. It blew over Madonna's statue with a passing mention. That
was really disappointing. Yes, and we said that, I think in like
a minute ago. I think we said that Jim brought up some good points
of that email about that, and we do apologize that guy misspelled Madonna when
he wrote that. He did it was Emmy d You gotta spell it right,
dude. Look, Star's coverage has concluded for today. We're done with
Jim. Yeah, let's move on. That was not Jim and text in
that that came from cop. You know, we'll hear more from him at
nine. Is these things. It's up in Stars Day. It's actually Bracket
Day. It's dude, the tournament has begun. I think we're not allowed
to say m M Are you kidding? Yeah, that's one of those trademark
things. I think. The big game, Yeah, it is. The
big games begin today. It is a damn borderline national sports holiday today.
I love today, I really do. We used to. I don't even
know we can get it. I mean, it used to be the greatest
day. We had a friend of mine who was actually my age. His
dad always ran like the town bracket pool, so it was like it was
like heaven that Tuesday Wednesday, and it was all on paper back then,
back in my day, you know, and you would drive it over to
his house and turn in the you know, turn in the bracket and they
would score it like the family would score it again. It was always so
fun just to have one. Nowadays there's so many bracket websites, and there's
I Got a bunch, I love you. Yeah, but that was a
pretty mid level story. No, dude, Well you didn't have here's what
you bracket and drove. Yeah, back in the day, a small town
and you come from a big city where no one could even know anybody.
I mean, if we review from it, sometimes you're like, is that
we could have talked stars for that ninety second? We already did enough stars.
You said it, Danny, Did you have that Knox City growing up
a small town bracket challenge? No? No, we actually got out of
our houses and played actual basketball. Yeah, well you did, real kids,
They didn't disclose us from doing that. That turned into real men that
didn't need to sit around in an office with our fat bellies. Yeah,
filling out brackets and handing our twenty dollars to Tim. Yea hey Tim,
Tim, here's you still only twenty dollars. I know I'll get it to
you next week. Tim, I'm talking about too busy playing basketball. Yeah,
I didn't have the money being eight years old. There are people listening
right now who are not going to work today. I know good friend of
the show. I want to say his name, because he's supposed to go
to work today. He's going to a bar in about an hour and they
are gonna him and twenty of his friends and they have some uh what was
it? Did they walk to a lion's mouth to get to that bar?
No, they have some game. You know you play Past the Cup in
baseball? You ever play that where you put a buck in per a bat?
Yeah, they have something with that where there's a big bucket of money
on the table and every game, you know, whatever happens. I mean,
the gambling is out of control. But you just watch all damn day
twelve hours basically, and they stagger the games perfectly where they start and then
halftime, new game, two games, halftime, new game, three games,
back to two. Now we're up to four. Oh. You get
to remember that true TV is a channel that exists. We scramble to find
True Tvay so good. Well, then the Dallas Wanting News they put out
big D bracket challenge. We're back to this. We did I've loved this
twice. Go to the west and the east. Today we're gonna we're gonna
rock out the north. They had the dude, what's his name, I
don't have it on my bracket, Dallas Cothroam. Is he the guy who
put the bracket together? Yes? Yeah, he was on with Ben and
Skin the other day and he heard us kicking around some of the the topics,
and really he was felt shame that you guys had the two one four
area code losing in the first round to the Longhorn Ballroom. And he's like,
oh god, it was a bad matchup by him. And I think
he is a nice guy and has made it right with what he's done on
this north side of the bracket, beginning with number one Big Text against number
sixteen Barney. Okay, now that's a true one versus the sixteen. How
Barney is iconic? Oh my god, Barney's touched more lives than Big Text
has. No, he has, yes, had more lives, Yes,
yes, more people have gone through the State Fair in the last I don't
know, one hundred years. The then the handful of dumb kids that watched
Barney thirty years ago. Correct, I understand this is the Big d bracket
challenge, and I know how this game is probably gonna play out, but
you can go all across the nation and tens of millions, No Barney More.
They don't know big texts in Michigan. And you know what here,
get ready to email me, Jim, because freaking big text is dumb looking
and the thing burned down. Give it was given it, gave it added
to his iconic yeat. That was awesome. But what you could have done
is built back a badass big text who doesn't look like a doufe. What
do you want him to build a transformer? You want optimist prime out there
and a cowboy, Yes, that's what it is. Now it's not as
good. You understand you're about to vote for a pedal and a purple dinosaur
out You don't know that he teaches an adult class of tantric sex. They
just put one. Put big Text down, and stop being ridiculous, all
of you. He double jointed with no ass, and they rebuilt him exactly
the same way. You could have made some hard looking Texan that's now big
text, the modern big Text. You rebuilt it to look like you had
it originally in nineteen fifty whatever. Why go nostalgia. That's what big text
must look like. Screw you, let's advance, let's make it better.
It burned down. That was a shame had it not burned down. Keep
the same big text forever. But you don't rebuild it to look like a
doufe Kevin. Yeah, I understand the point of view coming from this side
of the table. A person that did not grow up in this area,
that grew up in the big city of Sarasota and hanging out at Saint Pete's
and playing strip or slippy slide on his lap at Mon's Venus and when he
was in high school. But you you even considering that bloated gross eye love
you, you love me? You're gonna You're gonna vote for Barney over big
texts Uh, easy one on this. Yeah, Barney was bullied for no
reason. We've got Charles Barkley punched him out one time on Saturday Night because
he deserved it. Well, Barney was born in the Metroplex. He is
of Dallas. He was a gift from Dallas to the rest of the world.
He's impacted millions of lives and all that bitchery said, I clearly vote
for big text. There he is. We had a chance to be the
official show of Underdogs and Cinderella's and you get really gonna vote for Big Text
here? Yeah? No, big Text is way more iconic than Barney.
Care about Barney, He's not. Barney is way more iconic. Well,
Danny still has a vote. Yeah, of course it's big Text, all
right, pencil it in, idiot. We already had a sixteen beating a
one in the east, with the Long Horned Ballroom beating out an area code.
We blew that. Well, yeah, we did that the right movie.
You've never been to the Longhorn Ballroom. Okay, that's true. You'll
go, and you'll go. I should have voted for it. This is
better than the entire city of Dollas. No, it's not the city,
it's the area code. It's the three numbers. It represents us. It's
three numbers that represent all of us, all right, Number eight el Phoenix
downtown town location Number nine. The French Room. What's the French Room?
Yeah, I don't know. I know, I'm quite hoity toity, and
you guys probably think I've been to the French Room. I never have.
French Room is just an incredible fine dining experience. Have you really been?
Oh I've no. I said I'd never been. Okay, I know you
figured I had. I'd never been to the French Room. I've been al
Phoenix. I've been to the downtown location. It's it's kind of like it's
been there since like nineteen eighteen or something. Fine, give me al Phoenix,
then one vote for al Phoenix. Easy. I'm going to vote for
I'm going to vote for Mexican food pretty much every time. Yeah, French
Room at the Adolphus Hotel, that's a clean sweep. Give me a Phoenix,
even though it's fine. Number five Southwest Airlines versus number twelve the Katie
Trail, Wow, that is tough. I'll vote first year guys. Text
Barney is the worst ever, Just a great, simple, worst thing.
That guy must have been a bigger fan of Baby Bob or BJ. They're
mad that my Florida is showing I bet Schale puts ketchup on his corny dog
iffing Florida man. I will never put catch one on hot dogs, So
say what you want about me, but not that Florida man. Boy.
People get mad if you take on big Text. Huh, he has no
ass. Yeah, but he wears cool Dicky's pants and he looks at you
that's right, and he talks kind of weird. I'm up for Southwest Airlines
because you, if they're doing their job right, won't have a guy walking
around with the machete Kti Trail. You could get hacked up, that's true.
And and their panels tend to stay on their planes, which is helpful.
Put the pressure on dingu because I am I'm an American Airlines man.
I've flown Southwest plenty of times. It's fine. I don't like the seating
arrangement. I don't like to choose your own seat. I don't like to
have to get the elbows out and discourage someone silently not to sit here.
I'm voting for the Kdie Trail. I'm torn on this one because Southwest is
great. It's it's a metroplex institution. The Katie Trail in comparison, relatively
new, but it's pretty bad ass. There was a time when when we
worked at the old station that I would take my bicycle from Lower Greenville and
ride it to work in the summer, like all the time. It was
great, man. I like the Ktie Trail and the scenery is a lot
better on the Katie Trail than it is on a plane. Kill me the
trail, Yes, give me the trail, crail trail, trill pencil.
That is so easy to go and get on the south with the airport and
it's it's quick. And they fly out of the greatest airport in to me
the world, and that loses to the trail. I was love Field,
oud, move on? Is love Field even on this You gotta be kidding
me, I mean, I kind of, I just kind of lumping the
two together. Is this guy's name John Dallas? Yeah, Dallas number four
of the Texas school Book Depository building versus number thirteen Liquid paper, which was
created here. Okay, so the structure that housed the murder of our president
and a tiny black and white bottle that covers up mistakes. M Yeah,
the condom of riding. Yeah, boy, that's hard. I don't really
paper. I mean, yes, important invention. Who uses it? Anybody?
Yeah? I don't know what the current status of liquid paper is.
But what the hell is this Texas school Book Depository if not just the location
of a gunman. And it does house a wonderful, wonderful Museum, the
JFK Museums. Yes, second to nine. I do love the museum.
I'm gonna go Texas school Book Depository. I'm gonna go ahead and vote with
you, Mikey Me and Florida Manor Lockstep today We're where are you? I
would have done? Okay? Good number six. Don Carter's cowboy hat verse
number eleven. Parkland Hospital. Hey a hat again. It makes the bracket
a hat. If the Landry hat doesn't push through, then if a hospital
can't beat Don Carter's hat, then something's wrong with this world. It is
the great MAVs logo hat, though it's also the hospital where Kennedy and Oswald
died. Or we're taken to. I've never been to Parkland Hospital. It's
badass it it's a great hospital. I'm gonna skip this one. Okay,
that's not how we're doing. I'll only vote if you guys split. I'm
gonna vote for Parkland. I'm gonna vote for Don Carter's cowboy hat because it's
it's my favorite MAVs logo. It's my favorite all time logo of all the
teams too. It doesn't say MAVs logo on here. It says it's Don
Carter's hat. Will find me the hat, but we know what it stands
for, and we are the home of the MAVs. Give me Don Carter's
cowboy hat to advance. I tried to vote for a hospital. Text has
just given me s I ended up voting for Big tex So don't yeah,
come at me, Yeah, come at me, Come at Barney Turner over
there, all right? Number three downtown Neiman's. I mean it's number fourteen,
that big eyeball Main Street. This should be a clean sweep. Uh.
What is Neimans. It's the shopping market, the oldest standing department store
the city has its original location. Sell it to me because I'm I'm a
candidate for you to win this. But I've never set foot in there.
I don't belong in Neiman Marcus. It's one of the greatest places to go
during the Christmas season. It just reeks of mid century, old school downtown
Dallas. It's uh, it's a very old school department store. It's in
a freaking downtown building. It's incredible. Yeah, I don't know how well
it does as far as business goes, because it's not entirely convenient to just
Park and running. I'm gonna run into Nemens. It's it's an event.
You gotta want to go there. And it's more on the higher end stuff.
The toys are more in line with like an Fa Fao Schwartz type type
thing. But man, it's just got that vibe and it's it's the best
place to go in Dallas for Christmas. That's one of the best places welcome
for three years running. Yeah, for his his Santa Scream and Cry photo,
which we have three in a row now. But I love it and
it's I don't know, there's just something very old school and charming about you're
voting for that. I'm definitelyvothing. I'm voting for the eyeball. It's our
bean. I do like eyeball being our bean. I do like using the
eyeball as a punchline for locations in Dallas if any time a question is asked.
But to show that I'm malleable and I love and listen to my friends,
I'm gonna believe in Danny Bellis and I'm gonna choose Downtown Nemon's standard to
advances standard. You're voting for an eyeball that's only been around for a number
of years and it's just an eyeball. There's no lidy vanes. Number sel
Gotta be quick here, guys for timing, you can be quick. Number
seven Deep el Them against number ten Sool Automotive. Okay, we'll take Deep
elm right easy. Unless the Sool Automotive people are scheduling a meeting, we
can switch that seven to a ten. That's a tentative win for Deep album
as less a salesperson emails me otherwise. As the commercial says, though sometimes
sometimes I go there just to hang out. The guy actually go of Sol
just to hang out. Uh. Number two Pegasus, it's number fifteen.
Chili's easy, right. What's the Pegasus really ever done for me? Dude?
It's Chili's all day landmark. I think it's cool, big part of
our history. It's it's moved around. No, I think it's really really
cool. Now it's at the Omni. I believe it was found in a
just in a shed not long ago. But it's never once handed me a
Southwestern egg roll. Like if you if you were to ever get a tattoo
that represented Dallas, you might get a two to one four. I'd be
inclined to get a Pegasus, I might get the Chili's pepper. Then why
don't you guys get a long horned ballroom logo on your arm? Dude,
have you seen it? Because you got rid of the two and four too
expensive? Give me Chili's. Chili's advances shocking. Actually, I don't feel
good about that win. I was voting for Peggy. I feels like a
buzzer beater. Chili's no clear, Chili's okay, I mean they do have
all uh they have Rollertown on tap. Pegasus doesn't have that. That's play
with their walls, not ours. Coming up next, the breaking breaking news,
not really terribly breaking, that's a big update. News was broken yesterday
about the big sewage dump that PLANEO is responsible for and it all ended up
in our lake. We got the latest on that and some follow up audio
from the Vice Commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club whatever the hell it is,
but he had such a great voice. Fascinating audio stick around next
