This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak. You know she's
got her hands full. You give her a minute? Two? Yeah,
on the air, on the air, isn't that special. I have a
one of those hoop monitors for JJ's heart rate. I keep it on me
because I just like to make sure those healthy around men. Hers is there
the roof right now? You told me to turn the music down. I
couldn't hear it because I wasn't the external to what we hear on the air.
We are on the air right now, right look at you. When
a problem needs a problem solver, guess who gets the call JJ. That's
all. If you want to leave a talkback, you can do it in
the iHeartRadio app little microphone. If you look up ninety seven on a freak
and you can talk man, you can be on the radio. You can
be just like us. It can be like your favorite celebrities. Today at
nine thirty five, make jokes. We challenge you earlier in the week,
leave your first talk back. Please. The news junkies do that all the
time. Leave your first talk back today. We'll move you to the front
of the line. Come hang with us. Mikey's morning news coming up here
in just like half an hour or so. And at nine o'clock we got
all sorts of stuff going on in the Metroplex you should know about it,
including a big one. There's a huge name in the Metroplex tonight that I
was virtually unaware was here. Are you aware of it? I wasn't until
you mentioned it yesterday. You will all be informed right around nine o'clock real
quick. We talked skydiving earlier in the week. Do you remember that.
I don't know why it came up. Oh yeah, Greg abbit Yeah,
and yeah, because the headline made it seem like Greg Abbott was attached to
one hundred and six year old man jumping out of an airplane. Yeah,
that was out. There were separate tandem jumps and they both had a safe
descent down to Terra Firma. But it I went on a little wormhole that
afternoon about parachutes not opening, you know, and people surviving. Oh wow,
and it happens. And if you ever find yourself plummeting to your potential
death due to an unopened parachute, what you should do, and I've known
this for a long time, is you need to try to aim for the
side of a hill. If you're in a mountainous region, preferably the side
of a mountain, that gives you your best chance. Okay, so what
you're doing though here when you're falling, Yeah, are you just kind of
moving your arms and trying to No, you should be in the traditional position,
arms extended, legs behind you, bent at the knees, and that'll
give you some semblance of control. And then much like the flying squirrel people
do. Obviously they have the you know, wing suit that helps. Yeah,
you're not gonna have that level of freedom, but you can manipulate where
you're falling. Not too difficult, Just a little of this little lean and
you can. If you can aim for a nice steep side of a hill.
Look, if it's snowy, well that's very nice. If it's fluffy
grassy, I mean that that will do. But you're talking about percentage points
here, Yeah, you know your small percentage, Joe, I mean yeah,
fractions. His odds are splat, absolute splat shot. You are pudding.
How many people survive without these? I don't have the actual facts that
I was looking up kind of the most interesting ones. And listen to this
brushes with death. This woman named Joan Murray, and this is nineteen ninety
nine, not too long ago. Both of Joan's parachutes failed while skydiving,
leaving her to free fall fourteen thousand plus feet above North Carolina. Whoa,
Now, I do think one. I think her reserve shoot came out,
but it was all tied up. But even then that slows you down a
little bit. Percentage points are going up if your reserve shoot comes out,
even if it's catching a little bit of air, you're talking fractions of percent,
one percent, three percent chances survive. Well, you know, the
numbers are going up. But she's still screaming down toward Earth. But where
she landed and survived the initial landing because of that parachute, she landed on
a mound of stinging red ants. Oh no, imagine that that's insult injury
geez. I guess she'd take it though, But it wasn't this mound of
ants. That may have been a little softer than yeah, I mean,
that's you know, you take it there. If it's a massive like this
table amount of ants, that would be amazing. That's not instant pudding.
But it wasn't the mound that broke her fall. It was the two hundred
plus bites from the ants that kept her heart beating and adrenaline pumping. She
needed the ants to bite her, yes, and she sent her body into
recovery mode and some sort of shock. She was in a coma for two
weeks, so it's not like she was She was out cold and she didn't
even have to itch. Didn't even feel the itches. Yeah. Released from
the hospital six weeks later. But yeah, in the koma. But the
doctor said because of the adrenaline pumping as a result of the two hundred red
ant bites, that very likely contributed to her survival. Wow. Joan Murray,
our listener of the Day. I have a feeling Joan might leave a
talk back at nine thirty. And I think it was earlier this year that
Joan did pass away finally have natural causes. She even skydived again later in
her life, an amazing story told here on ninety seven on the Freak by
Me. Shale said, Awa, are you going to get that here?
Folks? Yeah, we made pipe and hot predictions. Usually at the whole
weekend we have to wait and then replay them on Monday, but we made
them yesterday because we wanted to get our locked in calls for what we were
going to see in the game last night. Were we watching hot prediction?
We are we way off. We will replay this audio and we'll do that
right now. Did you want to start out with mild boy? Who's at
you heat? Yesterday? Okay? Took a lot of heat for the team,
mister Dad. I was watching the game thinking this, are we misguided?
Are we spiraling out of control? Who's right? You or Danny?
I think like dance has been hot on your heels lately for really three weeks
straight, and I took it upon myself to take that heat off of you
and put it onto me, because that's what a selfless person does. No.
But the point of this segment was supposed to be the when we originally
did it was to really make some calls on what you're gonna see in the
game and see if you're correct. Yeah, but it's devolved now into you
know, Cavante Turpin's balls are going to fall off and get kicked down the
tunnel right like it's just time he gets tackled or catches the ball. And
because he catches a lot of balls in traffic for a little guy. Mm
hm, And I just think he his balls are gonna fall off when he
gets hit and sad. You can write that down for next week's predictions.
Bobby Wagner's down in his mouth, like that's what's turned into is just absurdities
just to make each other laugh. And the idea of the show and radio
in some form, I guess, is to make people laugh. I don't
know if these provide that, Like, have we spiraled too far out of
out of control? And an effort just to make absurd comments that obviously have
no chance of No, we're trying to get points, man, what's the
score? I have six? I've got I have to you've maybe me scroll
all the way past the food court segment I've been working on. I have
six points currently, Danny has three points, Kevin has two points. The
listeners have half a point that my brother Cass just gave to them when he
gave him back. Yeah, that was good of him. Oh, some
points fly today. I'm gonna be very lean with my rules, and let's
have you go first. All right, I'll go first. The Cowboys are
the first team in NFL history to win their first five home games of the
year by at least twenty points. They are the first one never did and
they will extend that to six on Thursday night. Not only did the Cowboys
and not win night twenty points, they didn't cover No, the nine and
a half spread, which that will be losses over and picks with Glenn's who
will love to see it, Kevin for JJ, for the Glenns and for
our celebrity guest picker. So only me and the Bayliss family Mike and Danny
pick up a game man. The celebrities yeah, and Malcolm and Malcolm Yeah.
So good job there. All right, here's my second prediction from yesterday.
Kevin prediction two defensive tackle Jonathan Hankins will have not one, but two
tackles for a loss, and on one of them you will see a good
portion of his butt crack. Okay, okay. As we go to the
official stat line of last night's game, for one Jonathan Hankins, you will
see I'll fine tact where they guy there there you will see that Jonathan Hankins
had three tackles, one assist, one sack, but zero tackles for a
loss, which I think rules me out. But boy usually he's the tackles
for a lost guy more than a sack guy, you know, because he's
not a stat he's not a box score step. No, No, he's
a big old boy, as my friend Kavanaugh called him before he even arrived
here, as being what the coupleys needed last year. I think this next
sixty seconds is going to end with no points being awarded. But I almost
wanted to advocate for you for a minute. I could argue one sack is
worth two tackles for a loss, oh two one, although I do contend
that's the one that we how many times did you hit it? Twice?
Thank you God? Come on, man, now we you know we get
no room? Is this guy's deal? I won't do it again. Jesus,
don't look with its shody as everything is around here. My guess as
it went through both times. Anyway, you said two tackles for loss for
Jonathan Hankins and his ass crack was gonna shoot. Yeah, he didn't get
one tackle for loss, but he did get a sack, which I don't
know it was dumped, So I could argue that's one sack is worth two
tackles for a lot of maybe a crac shows every week, and yeah,
his Astrak kind of shows, which was a safe caveat to try to get
a point. But his jersey did come up very high, all the way
up to his chest, his chesticles. I mean, we had full got
out the mud flaps or what do you call it, handles of the handles
were out and he got up like pulling his shirt down quickly. Yeah.
So I mean, if you really want, if you were dying for points,
you could maybe try to. I'm not gonna fight it now. Rules
are rules, half point, but it was a lot of skin. The
most skin we saw on any player was Jonathan Hankins last night and he got
a sack. So, I mean, I guess still no points, but
you were on. You were You're right in the neighborhood, the most lucrative
franchise on the planet. And they can't just let's just go up one more
size because he's not comfortable by that jersey. No, because every week he's
pulling it down. Well, he's just I think he's fine with a little
belly show and I don't think he cares that high. Yeah, I mean,
it's like, get him a bigger jersey. I don't understand his but
shows every week. That's never going to change. Yeah, did you see,
Speaking of uniform talk, there was a I didn't know because again they
we didn't see much Stefan Gilmore in this game, and maybe he's been doing
this all year and I just didn't notice. But I saw a shot of
him, and you saw his leg pads. He it looks like a can
of dip. The size of both of his thigh pads. I mean,
I'm not kidding. They're they're little circles. He is just meeting whatever this
requirement is. And I think the knee that you know, above his knee
and the thigh they're just little circular pads. He's playing with no pads on
his lower body. He can't he can't run. Yeah, no, I
guess, And I think it's kind of bad ass, Like a lot of
guys are crazy, don't really play with pads on their lower body. Yeah,
but they're continue to get smaller and smaller. I've never seen the little
little can of the roll on tape or little can of altoids in his in
his pants. All right, So I struck out Kevin Prediction number three,
dealing with another uncompetitive Thursday night game, al Michaels will start to complain in
the second half, Herbie will lay out, and then Al will spend much
of the fourth quarter promoting the Eddie Murphy movie Candy Cane Lane, rather than
talking about the game. Okay, we did you get a lot of Candy
Cane Lane promotion last night dropping today on Amazon Prime. But by calling that
non competitive is couldn't be more wrong. Yeah no, Now, just the
sheer volume of Candy Cane Lane promotion, you might consider something, But that
is a that is a time when jj hits the buzzer and yep, yep
movie dropped that night. Candy Candy Hot Chocolate truck will be at Clydworne Park
today beginning at eleven thirty, and then they'll be over at the Dallas Zoo
tonight. So look good, hot chocolate, nice swag. Yeah, this
is Mike Siroyank prediction one darts Dak Prescott will not throw an incompletion in the
entire first half of this game. Wow, just for fun, I'm offering
this to you. What's the total completions? Thirteen thirteen for thirteen Yeah,
nope, no, what was his first quarter? I'm not gonna do the
math on it, but he had plenty of incompletions. Yeah, plenty.
I should have just said first quarter, no incompletions. But again, you
guys probably would have given me asked for that. He was awesome though last
night, as he always say is, he was awesome, dam Mike Stroy.
Two prediction two prime time. I'll be watching the game on Amazon Prime,
and that will inspire me to go to Amazon's website and buy a stupid
but kind of cool gift for you guys that I will hand to you both
right after this audio plays. WHOA Okay. He's now reaching into his backpack
as he tries to get a point in the cheapest way I've ever imagined,
but also the most expensive way, because he bought something. No, I
didn't get anything for you guys. I didn't. He promoted Amazon Fresh all
day yesterday. I thought he was a stick of celery or something. When
I wrote that one, I think I was thinking I'd have the whole weekend,
thereby making it more likely that I would bring you guys something on Monday.
But I didn't get anything for you. But that also proves that I'm
not out here just be a point horror. Yeah. Yeah, And It
was a brilliant way. Like if that was the last week of the season
and you need to win a point, yeah you can make you know point
prediction that you can just did it. It's gonna take at least it's not
arguable. Yeah, yeah, but I didn't get you guys. Ask prediction
number three for Cowboy Seahawks to night ooh la la. Carissa Thompson will do
a great and credible job as the game sideline reporter, but her night will
end at Lakewood Landing, where she will be seen at one five am,
smoking an American Spirit and laughing while entering the passenger side door of a Volkswagen
GTI owned by one Daniel Ferdinand Bayless. Your tweet last night where you changed
your name to Danny on in Twitter. Yeah, and it's a picture of
Danny Danny's face photoshopped onto something. I don't even know what that is.
That's Mark Davis. Oh, Mark Davis. Yeah, trying for a year
to get Danny, who's got amazing hair and he can do anything he wants
with it to get the Mark Davis haircut. I have a new plan on
that, by the way, stay tuned. Maybe next late spring. I'm
me go talk to Danny and to getting the Mark Davis haircut. Well,
I called or I talked to Danny on the phone yesterday after I don't know,
something happened at the office. I want to talk to him about and
uh, He's like, he said the show was great. Listen, and
he's like, actually after the game, I am going to lake Wood Landing.
And I'm like, whoa, that's phase one, Phase one complete.
Now the ball is in my court. All I need to do is get
CHRISA. Thompson to go to Lakewood Landing. So I did manipulate my Twitter
account. It doesn't say sir Roy, it said Danny in huge caps.
Yeah. And I just welcomed her to Dallas and suggested a cool dive bar
with a cool vibe and crowd, and I wrote, my name is Danny.
I'll keep a lookout for you. Here's a recent pick. Say hi
if you stop by, and it's Mark Davis haircut ding, which I did.
Okay, that point is TBD. We will find out next. What
do you mean We're gonna call him? We as text him and see if
well, and we'll play Danny's predictions next. Right here, did Danny hook
up with Carissa Thompson, Tell You
