Good morning, Good morning, Metroplex. Le's rock and roll coming to you
alive from the Addison Farmer's Branch north of Dallas Area, right off the Tollway,
a E. G LFM home of the Dallas MAVs. Wear the downbeat,
Cavin Turner, We'll get Danny Baylis, Mike Stroy, JJ Jackson here
today. Hell on a crap man. Nine o'clock. We're gonna tuckle mass
for it. Let's a couple of people die. But I think the doomsday
clock is sixty seconds to midnight for the MAVs. At eight thirty ding Goose
Morning News eight o'clock, we had hijackers, we had arrest, we had
apologies, we had tears, so many awards. The Gravy's kind of kicked
ass last night talking about that at eighty seven thirty. Some weird injuries that
happened in the Metroplex this weekend. Plus a comedian is threatening to go Bud
Dwier on us not the Sports seven. All that stuff. The hell happened.
Jerry took another loss. Talk about that in thirty minutes. Good morning
boys. He just can't get a win, Mikey can't get a win,
can't get a win. Headlines twenty two likes it. It was just a
thoughtless shouldn't we do Kevin at seven? That's kind of all I have?
But shouldn't we be doing that? I think we should do Kevin at eleven?
And it's just online. Okay, yes, Kevin at eleven. We
need more, We need Kevin handle more seconds too much Kevin, and everyone
knows it, everyone's talking about it, but we can't stop you. You're
just a machine. Oh you know, I'm terrible to work with because I
am a control freak. It's fine, and you know I do want downbeat
bonus coverage. And it's just Kevin and we're not even here somewhere, yeah,
and it's just Kevin at eleven. Kevin at eleven, you were kind
of recap the whole show. You can spend that hour from ten to eleven
cutting like a beautiful montage of the show we just did with some good music
like that, some authorized good music. Doesn't sound like a fun activity and
Kevin at eleven, Kevin at eleven, think about it. I mean I
would be more amenable to like seven minutes of Kevin, okay, seven minutes
and Kevin, Yes, and it's really just a big makeout session with me
for seven minutes on TikTok. I don't know where you would do it.
We don't need to give any one ideas that we need to be doing extra
work though, so Zach writes this down Kevin at eleven. Some shows do
like a post show podcast, and I'm like, why, Dan, And
I think that's a good idea for you. Now, let's just put the
podcast up and get out of here as soon as we can. Okay,
by cabin at seven. If sports ever fails to happen, we can have
that as a backup. Oh yeah, there are some people saying that we've
transitioned, that we've been mandated to do more sports. That's not true.
Do you want to come clean on that anyone? Well, it's not true.
It's not true at all. It's kind of weird because I don't I
think some shows have been told less. Yeah, maybe some shows might be
too reliant. Now the day we get that mandate, you'll know you'll be
hearing that a lot sports. So normally we would be I mean, this
hasn't happened last year or three years. Normally we'd be maybe in Vegas today.
What do you mean normally. Well, I mean, like back in
the day, let's say I haven't covered a Super Bowl in five years.
Now, I guess now I think about it, we didn't dip into the
corporate radio slush fund to send ourselves to Vegas for the Super Bowl. I
texted one of my friends, who's friends who are there this week? And
I'm like, y'all are a famously bankrupt company. How are y'all sending your
shows to Vegas? I don't think bankrupt means what we've been led to believe
it means. See, well, fortune taught us every wrong thing about bankruptcy.
I thought it meant zero because of stupid wheel. It's just debt restructure,
Yeah, exactly, but it's it's pretty wild that bankruptcy is legal and
a thing. I mean, if you're talking at individual bankruptcy, you can
essentially just go buck wild on credit cards, whatever you can, whatever cards
you can agree for them to send you, and them activate whatever your limits
are, and just go nuts on all of it and then throw your hands
up and say, I don't know you guys deal with that. I've done
that, and then ooh, don't ding me credit and then you blast your
credit right and your toast for like a for like four years. Right,
then you get out of it and then all is forgotten. Run it back.
There's a reason why you go to Mall's and there aren't Montgomery Wards there
anymore. It's because of me, because of the day, because the ding
at twenty three got a Montgomery Wards credit card. Never had one before was
Montgomery Wards. It's like a Sears apartment store. And guess who racked up
about eleven thousand dollars in charges and never paid for it? Yeah? Yeah,
And boy, they tried so hard to get me to pay. And
a buddy told me, it's like, you just don't have to pay it.
It like you don't. It's like no, but won't my credit be
affected? And he goes, what do you care? Right? You know
what he's right now. Granted this was like in the sixties, went back
when they took your card and had to swipe it across with that damn machine,
the press manual presser. But yeah, after a certain amount of time,
I quit getting the threatening letters, the threatening phone calls, and I
checked my credit score once I was you know, figured out what it meant
and how to do that. When I was in my thirties and everything's fine.
Yes, And honestly, they in you before you get to bankruptcy.
You don't need to, don't. I mean, I never do that again,
and it was horrible. I basically stole money, admitted it. But
did you Yeah, I kind of did, Mikey, you kind of did,
but not a different set of I don't know ethics back then. But
the credit card companies are willing to Let's say you have ten thousand dollars credit
line, you max it out right, and then the fees start hitting the
next thing, you know, it's at eighteen thousand or whatever it is,
and you're like, you call him, like, I don't, I can't
pay you. I mean, they're essentially going to accept down to that ten
k or I think even less. Like at some point they're going to just
say what it's a dance where they try to figure out what they can get
out of you. Well, they sell the debt to creditors or the people
that harass you and call you and send you threatening letters. That's a company
that says, okay, dingu wracked up ten grand worth of charges with the
late fees, it's thirteen, let's go ahead and knock that down and will
negotiate a price. Will you be willing to accept four thousand dollars because he's
obviously not going to pay it, but we think we can get him to
pay it. Will you accept four they settle with that, that company assumes
the debt, and they think with their bullish tactics that they can get that
money out of you, right, And they don't. They don't. You
just ignore them. When do you have to declare bankruptcy? Is it when
you're getting close to out of money or is it when you're out of money?
I think when you're out of I mean I don't know, because well
you can decide because we have quite I mean mostly businesses, but the ones
who do it publicly and you know, no one specific in mind, but
you know I know someone who publicly did it. Well, there are massive
politicians that have done it multiple times with their businesses. But it's a strategy
with your business, right. It's not like the businesses are out of money
or the individual ever has to leave their golden penthouse. It's just that's just
how it works. Most I would think almost all businesses fall under an umbrella
of a limited liability corporation which kind of absolves the individual from responsibility to any
financial goings on within the business, so they can come after the business but
not the person. And it's a protection that are designed. Yet people know
to set up and LLCs can file a bankruptcy and basically what that does it
stops the revolving debt, the interests that accruised by fail You're to pay and
it just kind of like calms everybody down and says, look, we will
pay this, but we're going to kind of do a payment plan thing or
whatever. Now there is the big death rut, the death rattle, whatever,
the big bankruptcy that kind of like, okay, bro, you have
to shut this down. We're liquidating all of your assets. But yeah,
there's kind of like two tiers of bankruptcy. And I think most of these
are just dudes in companies saying, let's reassess. But if you don't pay
and all those accrude fees, they will forgive them essentially, if you're willing
to, if you're willing to deal with the red letters that you receive for
months and months and the phone calls you ignore that lot of those. Do
you think people that do finances or are finance people. Do you think they
like their job or do you think they just like the money they make and
like their time away from the job. So do you think there's a portion
of people out there in life? Maybe a majority of people in life?
You kind of have two options. Get paid crappy but love your job,
or get paid a lot and kind of not like your job but it really
enjoy your time away from your job. That's fine, a little happy medium
in there. Of course. I always wondering, like there's people who go
into that. I'll just say finance people for whatever. Oh, but that's
they all have money. But that is a massive net you just threw out
to say finance people. Yeah. I have two friends. I have friends
who does handle some investments for me, and he's younger than me and sweet
dude, and he loves it because it's addicting, you know, you're working
the markets and all this stuff. Hell, three friends. I have one
friend is unemployed who just is a investor, not really a day trader,
but all he does is grind this stuff and play the stock market and he
absolutely loves it and he makes a really good income. I have a third
friend who works in a short term lending essentially like the check cashing stores.
And he's interesting to talk to because he told me a long time ago.
They I don't know if he's honest, so he may have used the word
pray. But they prey on low income, high morale individuals. Yeah,
and which is a really fed up term, but basically good people who don't
make a lot of money, but who will likely pay you back, be
willing to work hard to pay you back. That's why most of these like
I don't want to use any names, but short term loans, check cashing
places. They're always you know, at some intersection that is considered to be
you know, maybe low income. Yeah. Got one writer around the corner
from my house and can walk to in two minutes. Dang. Yeah.
Yeah. I just wondered then, because I don't know anything about financing or
you I'll even think about how I'm gonna start budgeting off. Never budgeted,
but I've always found a way to make it work. You make your money.
I mean, these people, they make their money off of the lower
income people because there's a lot of them. It's a big, big pool.
You know, people that don't make a lot of money and they don't
have the resources to to lawyer up, or to accountant up, or or
have access to the knowledge and the strategies to you know, kind of to
manipulate this stuff. Absolutely. Yeah, that's why the morale I morale is
an important part of it is you will feel obligated to pay back the money
with interest that you borrowed, like you think of it's kind of related,
I would think. But I was thinking about this earlier today when with the
Grammys last night, to kind of evolve the topic a little bit. You
see all of those superstars, and they mentioned one of the cats up there
had just received one billion streams about twenty one Savage. Yeah, twenty one
Savage just this year alone had received one billion streams. Spotify. Yeah,
sure, they're making money off of their big artists, but that pool is
real small. I think they're probably making the bulk of their money from a
thousand streams from millions of artists. Yeah, the bastard of soul of the
world, the vandoliers of the world that will never see a legitimate paycheck from
Spotify. But there are millions of those bands out there that are doing that.
Yeah, if not hundreds of thousands. It's the little bitty little,
it's a lot of a little will surpass a few of the big And that's
kind of the mindset when it comes to those the vocal minority against the silent
majority. Danny, I always get those mixed up. I always double think
about it before I say it out loud, and I just started thinking about
comments I say, which is terrible. I think. To answer your question,
though, I think it's intoxicating. I mean, this is not a
weird concept to make a lot of money. So yes, I think even
if you're working in finance, something to us that seems foreign and scary and
boring, I think that is more than offset by a very healthy income that
financial people often make. Yeah. I mean my buddy who I'm talking about
has bought a house in a chalet in Colorado. You know what I mean.
Like, we love our jobs, but you know they know chalets on
the ground to be paycheck. You know it still is. Yeah, there's
nothing stacking up to go ahead, and yeah, let's do the chalet in
Colorado just to have it for twice a year if we want a summer or
take the kids skiing. There's a lot of people that may not. Like
my brother, for example, worked in some type of accounting or finance for
years and he didn't love it, but he had a really good acumen for
it and knew that he could make a lot of money doing it. So
that's kind of what he did, and then later in life started doing things
that he enjoyed. That's one strategy, you know. I'm kind of more
of the mindset. I'd prefer just to make no money and try to enjoy
every day. Yeah, but were you kind of speaking more to like the
debt collection aspect of it. Do people love that job? No, I'm
just taking in general people who uh just work with money and no. Yeah,
yeah, I'm sure, dude, because it seems mind numbing to us,
but to them it might be their passion and they're good at it.
Yeah, I think you know, like I get the uh mailing, like
the packet from this guy the company that I have a little bit of mine.
I'm he has two or three hundred clients and he's told I've asked him
like cornered him before. I'm like, by how far am I your lowest
like individual investor? And he kind of laughed and he's like, it's not
even close, like I'm just because we're friends. Does he handle my stuff?
Yeah, it's a joke. But I still get these pamphlets and I
try to read them and there's just miniature writing, all this movement of money
because I'm just part of like a bigger thing, you know. However that
works. They put it into the big fund and then we're all it's I
don't even know where to start. I don't even know if I'm doing good.
All I know is make it to sixty five, and I think I
get that money back. I don't know that either. If we make it
to sixty five, right, all right, it all hurts. Everything hurts.
It hurts to think we're dying. And we're not in Vegas this week.
So that's because we are local. Other stations may go off to Vegas,
they may gather, they don't care about trapes. We stay here,
given a damn about you. In years we get We get to sleep soundly
through the night without the illumination of the sphere, just just spirit buckets of
light through our blinds, without Bono on the side of the sphere yelling at
you, atomic city, atomic city, not here. I could have lived
without that, not here. Live local laughs here, let's use our inside
voices. Okay, let's do this. Let's do this JJ app happit over
the weekend. We're going to talk about it down I'll go first. He'll
be quick. I don't have anything, so take your talk. I went
and ate at a place I went. Don't be quick with this. I
went and ate out at a place that you went to a month ago,
Mike, Yes, and it was so sign up only did you go to
Zaxby's. I did not go to Zaxby's Chicken I have before, though.
I made a trip because I never I found that there was one in Garland.
So I made a trip across seventy five and I was like, there's
Zaxby's over there, and I've always heard about it, so let's try it.
And I will not say my review online. You have to follow me.
Okay, okay, what the Zaxby's manager's listening and he's like, think
about to spend some money on the downby we're taking morning remotes at zaxby That's
where you really went, sas. So I didn't know Zaxby's. I don't.
I didn't even know they were I didn't go in is it chicken,
Yeah, chicken tends tend or you ate it in your car like Keith Lee.
Yeah, I could have been more voiced. No, I took it
home. He lay into a quick review, listening to Dave Matthews, just
snacking on some ten d's. Boy, they get snubbed for twenty ten Album
of the Year Efan Taylor. Okay, so, uh, Grammy is an
eight. So I don't know anything about uh this. Besides, you know,
it's a big article in the paper. People were talking about it a
little bit. People on our station, we're talking about it. Sushi buy
Sushi by scratch. You went well and I didn't some so my Uh that's
so weird to say it. It's so weird. I would just rather do
Borat and just do my wife hot Latina. Uh yes, hot Tina.
That's what she will just call her from now on. Okay, she booked
it, she booked it. Okay, she when did you book a day
of Well she's down on the list and then I guess someone canceled or something.
She was like, we have because this is like last week. He's
like, they've got us in if we want to go Saturday night at like
seven. Wow, you got the prime spot. Yeah, you know,
one of the prime spots or seven fifteen or something like that. So those
those of you that don't know that is sushi, Sushi by scratch. Yes,
it's the probably the hottest dining sensation that's been sweeping the Metroplex for what
the last four or five months? Yeah, something at least. Yes,
So it's Omakazi styles what you I don't even know what that means. I'll
kind of explain quickly. What happened is that halfway through the dinner, a
plane flies into your field, flies to the side of the Adulphus, and
then I just start singing karaoke in the corner because it's all I really know.
It's all her way to handle it, OMACASEI literally translates into I'll leave
it up to you. But it felt like it wasn't left up to me
though, you the chef. Oh, it's you saying it, Katie back
there, rolling freaking spicy. I'm watching nice is that Ponzu sauce? You're
the Oma Cosi pilot in this scenario, So I'm like, yeah, she
signed up, she handled it. I have to think about anything. Great,
happy to go, This will be a blast. It's in the Adolphus
Hotel, and they kind of tell you. I don't want to give away
all of their secrets, but they kind of they tell you where to go,
they text you day up, they text you day of information. It's
fun. That's fun. Yeah, And that's why I don't want to say
I want to spoil it for anyone who might do it. No and fully
prepared, like, hey, we're not like Friday, like stayed in and
watched a bunch of mister and missus Smith. We'll get more on that later
in the week, of course, like because you know, it's like gonna
be spending some pretty good coin here on Saturday for this. So we go
in and there's eight of us. It's me and her and then six strangers.
Okay, a group of four which one guy claimed that his buddy was
CEO of the Year in Dallas. Generic. It was generic, and I
had so many questions that I got scared to ask. I was gonna ask,
like, what do you like? I wouldn't there yet from a drinking
standpoint, this guy had such a little body and a big head. But
you know, how is like it is kind of crazy. He looked like
Jack antonof look it up kids, So the point and then there's two other
strangers. So you know it's not like some rousing room. But you go
in and they give you a little cocktail to warm me up. They give
you an oyster that's foam on it. Foam oyster, m hm. Incredible.
So you go in and they've got it laid out. Here are the
seventeen dishes, one by one. They've got a landing zone which looks like
a coaster, and they put the piece of sushi you can just call it
an l Z on they so behind the counter there you go. There's eight
of us in a room and that's it. And behind the counter hamachi whatever
whatever, there's one unagi. You know, you're start naming salmon, and
it's one at a time and you all go at once and they keep spread
it out. Well. After about four course four, which is again just
one piece of food, four of seventeen four seventeen, you hear the other
fourced people, the guy with the big headed CEO. They start trying to
do like a little ranking system, and there's three chefs behind behind the behind
the owner what's called behind the table, right, and they go, oh
yeah, everyone starts starts ranking him. You should just wait, and one
guy goes and he is the more that. It is so funny the way
he said it, And I'm not gonna mock his accent. I would never
do that. But he was like, we had a group in here a
few weeks ago that were ranking them like they were F one drivers. And
hold on a second, hold on head, look, I said, was
it a group of four two blondes, a couple of bald guys. Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, there were a lot of fun and it was cash
Oh he did you remembered cash stop? Are you serious? No, I
know those guys. Oh yeah, they were fun. They lit up,
they were funny. That's amazing food, like they were F one drivers.
I was like, okay, yeah, we did sort of do that.
Well, we had a podium and we were trying to keep which three posters
of the seventeen remained on the podium got knocked off the podium, and then
when the whiskey starts flowing, that will turn into some names. The one
you didn't like is Nicholas Latifi. Okay, so one of the people that
worked there said that, yes, and there was two of the chefs were
and it was just kind of they all knew and they all remembered in the
room in a lasting impression. It's really nice and it made him smile,
made the guy sibsolutely, what a great impression sake. But small world,
I mean they go eight at a time and they do like three courses a
night, like they get twenty four people at night, Max, Yeah,
you know, and that part of it's kind of crazy. Now. I
didn't do the big pairing Japanese whiskey pairing things. I was Tranda, you
know, smart not Yeah, and I another one hundred and they do like
three. They don't push it on you, but they recommend it. And
it's easy when you're in that space. If I am going out tonight and
it's gonna spend money tonight, anyways, let's have a good time. But
I had beer, which was like, you know, a bunch of those
beers sit ramping up a little bit. But I got out of there and
hundred five hundred dollars. Yeah, what did uh the hot latina have to
drink beer? Tequila? After that? Both you guys just beer. Yeah,
we'd had cocktails before moving over to the midnight Rambler. That's smart pregame.
Yeah, we pregamed it. Met a guy at the Midnight Rambler who
gave us a shot over at the Rodeo Bar. I mean, just good
good times. So did you love the damn sushi? And okay, it
was like the best dining experience maybe ever, of course, because it's cool
and it's unique. Yes, just the food itself, and it's kind of
nice that it's not in a big room, it's in a small room,
and you just like the people, like we hardly talked to him, really,
it was kind everyone kind of kept themselves. What a wild ruckus crowd
like it would have been if we would gone with the people who were ranking
the sushi by race car driver, we'd be friend at our whole table.
Yeah, y'all. Do you know I'm pretty introverted. I'm for the most
part, I kind of don't want to talk to people usually, so but
it's great, you're in the perfect line of work. Yeah. Yeah,
there's something weirdly exclusive about it. Weirdly, but I had nothing to do
with that. She signed up like she wanted to do it, So I
was like, yeah, that was the bone marrow awesome. The thing on
the when you're reading like what you're going to be getting. You're like that
sounds terrible, and then you go, that was amazing. Good Lord,
didn't a few of them just melt into your head? You just push your
tongue up, you know, and yeah, go full Kevio. I mean
I spent I spent a good portion of yesterday both hungover but also just going
I can't believe last night happened, because you're just blown away. And then
you get in your car on the way home and rise that the match has
given up a twenty five point lead. I don't worry about that. He's
Kevin Mike. Tell us more about that at nine. Sure we didn't even
get the Kevio's marijuana cocktail experience over the weekend. When are we gonna do
that tomorrow? Okay? Yeah, many times tomorrow during breakfast boners. I
may have joined him really in a different way. Okay, you'll did you
make a mocktail kind of? I know, brother Cash went and bought Hey
on your recommendation, some and some others Delta eight drinks and sweeping the Metroplex.
Oh, we'll discuss that tomorrow. We drink some live on the air.
Uh coming up next though, Jerry takes another loss. Uh DFW gets
dunked on by Soccer Next on ninety seven won the Freak
