1
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:29.399
Oh, wake up, wake up. It's a little sleepyhead. Time to

2
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.280
get your what is it, stupid
ass out of bed? Stupid as out

3
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:36.320
of bed. I don't think you're
stupid that all of you. Maybe the

4
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:46.600
songwriter did. Good morning. You're
listening to Kevin and the Downbeat. He

5
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:49.759
is here, so I don't think
it's weird that he and Danny are talking.

6
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.840
I'm looking right at him. He
just got a lot on his mind

7
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.799
this morning. You know what he's
doing. He's taking a moment to think.

8
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.880
He's thinking. Yeah, he's getting
his head right. I'll be ready.

9
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.439
That is Daniel Bayless. My name
is Michael Siroy. Kevin Turner is

10
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.799
here. J J. Jackson holds
this thing together. You're listening to the

11
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.480
downbeat. Good morning, Good morning
one and all. What a time,

12
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.359
What a time in the Metroplex.
It's a great day. Why are you

13
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:26.040
smiling because sports weather from Dallas.
Well last night to s Butt City,

14
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.920
which is my favorite city in America
at this time of year. I had

15
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:38.480
hard s Butt City at about nine
forty five when the light lightning crashes.

16
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:44.640
Did you have some some flickers with
your electricity in the house. I did

17
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.640
a little bit. It threatened to
go off one time. Oh hey,

18
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.040
it's keV Oh sorry, guys,
it threatened to go off late today once.

19
00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:00.159
No, he didn't. I had
the boo boosing boo boo. It's

20
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.120
threatening to go off once. Yeah. I felt it like kind of dim

21
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.719
and then I was like, oh
man, because I was just enough to

22
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.840
clock to reset. No never even
that's the worst, right, It's like,

23
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.960
look, if you're going to have
a power outage, go all out

24
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.560
or cut. Let's make it fun. Yeah, make it fun where I

25
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.719
have to reset all of the clocks, so just pease me. But no.

26
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.759
It was like right about an hour
before bedtime and I just fired up

27
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.159
PBS to watch broad Church. Oh
my god, I'm glad I'm not you

28
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:35.280
me too. Want to squeeze in
a little British crime drama before bed?

29
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.680
You see the biggest what Anglo File? I think I'm this is all new,

30
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.039
dude, again, this is all
new. This is like in the

31
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:47.199
last three months because I revisited Top
Boy three months ago and got caught up

32
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.560
because I knew the new season was
coming back. And then I was waiting

33
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.319
because I finished it quick because it's
you know, the British shows they're all

34
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.520
super short seasons. Everything's like four
to eight episodes if that mm hmm.

35
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.560
And then I asked a friend of
mine who is a real true blue anglophile.

36
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:09.240
I was like, hey, what
hey, what are some other good

37
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.960
uh UK crime shows? And she
sent me like a huge list. And

38
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:19.000
I've just been knocking him the f
out and broad Church is the last on

39
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.000
the list. After this, I
promise I'm done. I'll get back to

40
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.919
watching good old fashioned American bad TV. Yeah, schlubs, get you caught

41
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.479
up on the mask Singer? Yeah, good stuff. This time it's a

42
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:37.759
bumblebee whatever it is, the what's
the loutaria? Maybe I'll just start watching

43
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:43.120
Mexican TV. Dude, I I
did, just, through self torture,

44
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:49.599
tried to watch the first episode of
Snake Oil. Oh really, I'm interested

45
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:55.639
David Spade's Snake Oil. It's pretty
bad. It's pretty bad. David Spade

46
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.919
just doesn't care. No, he
doesn't give a crap about anything. Like

47
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.159
it was like the beginning of the
show. It was the most low energy,

48
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.199
like when he took it out at
the very top. I mean that's

49
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.639
his bit. I guess, real
snarky, you know. Yeah, he's

50
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.319
a smart ass. But I imagine
even the producers were like, do you

51
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:18.680
want to do that again now?
And man, I did Joe dirt.

52
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.920
But let's see there. It is
the most surroy industries show ever. It's

53
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.399
all it is. It's two products
and one of them is real and one

54
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:33.920
of them's made up, and then
you and your celebrity partner like kind of

55
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.639
determine what you think and then you
can ask some questions and then you have

56
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.120
to bet x amount on if it's
real or not. And I think they

57
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:47.120
got the first four wrong, Like
the first four pairings of products. What

58
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:55.759
was it? One was venison flavored
whiskey? Why against? Oh yeah it

59
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.519
was. I think it was venison
flavored whiskey. Against called like baby memory

60
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:08.120
bands and it was, uh,
like a bracelet made of your baby's hair

61
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:15.079
and teeth. Jesus, that is
so dumb. And I and one of

62
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.160
them's fake and one of those is
real. I would say the I'd say

63
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:27.759
the venison flavored whiskey is fake.
Out of those two, you'd be incorrect.

64
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.120
Okay, Venison flavored whiskey is real. That's so dumb. And they

65
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.000
have like a minute to grill the
person. So it is sort of how

66
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:42.199
good the person is at either improv
or pretending. Like the baby memory bracelet

67
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.519
thing. It was like a kind
of a bigger girl and it's that part's

68
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.279
fun because you're like, all right, this is not an actor. This

69
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:51.600
is She was like no, this
A lot of mothers care about this stuff,

70
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:56.240
and she really presented it great.
I'm like, damn it, she

71
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.079
fooled the hell out of me.
And then Venison whiskey guy was like,

72
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.800
oh, yeah, we made whiskey
with all anything we find out there.

73
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:10.000
He's like, we made a whiskey
out of beaver Ainus. He's like sold

74
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.879
three hundred bottles. Gosh, and
you're like, wait, which of these

75
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.519
people is lying? And that dude
was telling the truth. He's like whatever,

76
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.480
we shoot, well, you make
whiskey out, make whiskey out of

77
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.720
it, including beaver Rainus, which
was very popular. Now was that part

78
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:32.199
of his pitch true? Yeah,
seriously, beaver Anus whiskey. It kind

79
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.000
of sounds like a good show.
Yeah, I know now that I'm saying,

80
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.199
And I'm like, it was funny. They should podcasts. They don't

81
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.519
know if that part, like when
they're doing the quick Q and A,

82
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.360
if that part has to be true
as well, or just is this product

83
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.839
true? So the Venison flavor whiskey
was true. It sounds like they should

84
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:55.399
wait until taping is over to hand
David Spade his check. Is that how

85
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.759
it comes off. It's like they
give him his payment for the day and

86
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.639
then okay, now I'll go film. He's just like, okay, exactly

87
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.319
do it at the end. Maybe
it's his idea or he's him and a

88
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.480
group of his you know, buddies, and he's an executive producer on it.

89
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.399
Oh and I'll be the host and
you guys figure out the real details

90
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.519
in the game. But I kind
of got a good idea, that's why.

91
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:16.839
And then boom get the job.
That's why it's the most roy and

92
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.000
I love it. You guys all
figure it out. You just figured out

93
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.839
the idea the specific details. But
it's a good idea. I don't know,

94
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.319
like I feel like I hated it
when I was watching it, but

95
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.120
now that I think about it,
it seems like seems like a fun idea.

96
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.519
Is it better than is it Cake? Well? There you go?

97
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.800
Is it cake? Who the hell
pitch that? And they're like, you

98
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.759
know what, maybe a lot of
these game shows are based on the idea

99
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.680
of someone lying. I mean it
is a to tell the truth was one

100
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.000
of the original ones. Yeah,
but there's so many game shows that are

101
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:54.439
based in what is false, what
is not real, what you at for

102
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.920
is not real. Not all every
game show, but a lot of them

103
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.399
are that. And this is the
same boat two things, which one's real.

104
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.639
And then make Shark Tank more extreme. And they didn't bind those forces.

105
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.480
And it's kind of why I love
game shows. There's formulas there.

106
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.639
Yeah, and you just take pieces
of all these other things, combine it

107
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.199
and make a mish mash. There
is a Shark Tank element to it.

108
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.000
They're clearly playing on that. I
can't think any more of the products.

109
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.360
It was pretty funny. Let's see
if I can find out what were the

110
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:30.439
products. One was soap, three
D printed soap that you can make the

111
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:37.240
head of anyone, you know.
You know what was snake oil? Snake

112
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:43.240
oil was you had these traveling salesmen
back in the eighteen hundreds, their wagons.

113
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.399
Yeah, they'd go from small town
to small town and their wagons and

114
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.120
they had these cure awls, elixirs
or potions or whatever, and they would

115
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.879
the outlandish claims that they would make
to try to sell this stuff to the

116
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:05.279
citizens of the city. We're just
ridiculous, Like they cures headaches, uh,

117
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:11.960
stomach aches, yeah, the flu
everything, it's consumption drop. Most

118
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.679
of it just contained like cocaine if
that. Yeah, it was basically it

119
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.159
was something to get you a little
fed up where you're like, oh,

120
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.399
it was a can of placebo basically, and they would sell it. And

121
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.799
I guess they got the name snake
oil. What was there a toilet with

122
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.360
a small sink on the back?
Mite? Was that one of them?

123
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:33.440
I didn't see that one. Ring
that you might have been watching the second

124
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.720
episode, then you weren't watching the
pilot episode. Okay, there because there

125
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.720
was also a line of luggage made
from locally produced taxidermy animals on animals in

126
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.480
this shiit No, that's not the
one I saw. They had that one

127
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:52.799
in the promo. I had three
D printed soap heads, and I had

128
00:09:52.919 --> 00:10:01.320
there was one a special towel designed
to dry in between your toes, Like

129
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.159
it was a towel with the little
like serrated part in the middle where you

130
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:11.679
could stick your toes in there and
kind of toes on the website, But

131
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.919
I don't remember it was realer what
was it now? But the bottom line

132
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.159
is they're all pretty ridiculous. Yeah, but what's funny. There's a dude

133
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:26.200
who had the tie protector. It
was just a plastic like sleeve that you

134
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.919
put over your tie and clip on
to the top. And then they show

135
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.960
someone like spraying food and mustard all
over this guy and they're like, but

136
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:39.039
his tie is protected. Yeah,
And then you're like, why would you

137
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:46.120
just need to protect your but and
then they asked the dude that question in

138
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.279
their minute, like why would you
only need to protect your tie? And

139
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.240
he's like, well, a lot
of people have their favorite tie, and

140
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.679
if you lose a white shirt,
you know, that's not a huge loss,

141
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.919
but if you lose a significant tie, no, And the dude like

142
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.480
explains it and then whatever product he
was against, and they're like, all

143
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:07.639
right, well that thing that's stupid. So I'll say this one's real and

144
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.440
they're like, you're wrong. And
then the tie guy standing there with his

145
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.679
product that he's put the last five
years of work into whatevery just called it

146
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.679
an idiot one, like this is
real. One of the producers is will

147
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.559
aren't it that makes sense? Yeah? Can you imagine. So my problem

148
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:30.360
with a lot of shows like this
these days is the and granted a show,

149
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.600
whether it was going to be on
the fall schedule or not, definitely

150
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.919
something that they saw. As well, the whole TV industry, and at

151
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.320
least network television, is leaning into
game shows and reality TV. Of course,

152
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.840
all right, we all know that, but who knows how long they

153
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.279
thought the writer's strike was gonna last. And they're still wedding on the actors

154
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.399
strike to end, which should end
maybe today, maybe tomorrow. But snake

155
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.200
oil, this is the problem that
I have with these games. I like

156
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.360
checking some of these out. Jimmy
Follen's got a show on NBC called That's

157
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.759
My Jam two v two and it's
like a music game show. The problem

158
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.879
is they give it an hour,
and when you start giving a game show

159
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.320
an hour and they don't have a
lot of it, and it just becomes

160
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.559
filler and fluff to fill out the
time allotment. Yeah, you're like,

161
00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.320
come on, man, let's get
this condensed to. This could have been

162
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.000
a you could have done this all
in twenty two minutes. Yeah, what

163
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.960
were the I mean Back in the
day, it seemed like there were very

164
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.080
few game shows that were an hour. Price Is Right was the only one

165
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.960
that even comes to mind. The
weakest link was always an hour. Who

166
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.600
Wants to Be a Millionaire was an
hour? You know, he Wants to

167
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.559
be a Millionaire? Changed everything I
think for the modern show. Like I

168
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.720
think there was a dormant area with
the exception of Jeopardy and Unfortune and uh,

169
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.679
Price is Right, but that's daytime. Yeah, and even Jeopardy and

170
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.759
Will of Fortune. They weren't like
super prime time. They would syndicate into

171
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.120
six pm. Maybe, yeah,
sure, like ABC rolled the dice and

172
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.080
said, here's Regis, let's do
this thing at eight pm. But well,

173
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.360
it happened very much like you brought
up Millionaire. There was no filler

174
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.759
in Millionaire, and there's no filler
in Prices, right, really, I

175
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.960
mean, you're it's game. It's
go, go, go, go go.

176
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.960
A little mini interviews, Yeah,
you know, where are you calling

177
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.039
from? What do you do for
a living? All right, let's play.

178
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.639
But daytime game shows was Prices,
right, the only hour long one.

179
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.720
Yeah, And it felt like they
were cramming as much as they could

180
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.720
in that out, Like you're getting
six games, you're getting two sets of

181
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.159
wheel spins plus the showcase showdown.
Yeah, plus all the bidding. There

182
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.960
was not filler in prices, right, no filler and will fortune either you

183
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.720
know the quick maybe, Oh you
shoved the puzzle and you got two thousand

184
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:46.080
dollars. How's Vana looking tonight?
You know to that? And then Jeopardy

185
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.600
had the most amazing filler ever because
it's funny every time, It's never not

186
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.360
been funny. What were they going
to interview you? And you got about

187
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.360
ten seconds and they've given them the
dumbest thing. So it says here you

188
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:03.159
like to collect butterflies. Yeah,
let's says hear you read Catcher in the

189
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:07.919
rye. Basically, it showed how
uninteresting these people are. If you what

190
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:15.240
it is is if the audience wasn't
already aware that the fact that you're so

191
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.840
smart and on this show that you're
a nerd, we're going to confirm it

192
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.480
with a couple of questions. Quick
nerd fact. Yeah. There was a

193
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.240
funny Jeopardy Twitter account years ago,
and it was like they always put it

194
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.639
out like daily and it was just
the Jeopardy interview. So every day it

195
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:35.600
was an episode of Jeopardy, just
the short interviewspan. Okay, and it

196
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.240
is just so funny because they're like, oh, says, you've got an

197
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:45.480
interesting story about my dog. Yeah, so I cut his toenails. Oh,

198
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.240
I had to wash his anus glands
too. Oh all right, let's

199
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.480
go over to Samantha. Samantha at
the Harvard and says here that you saw

200
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.679
Independence Day this weekend for the first
time. I did. I missed at

201
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.320
the first time. But seeing it
now, I realized what I missed out

202
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.159
on the first time. That's good. Let's go to Bob like not,

203
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.600
it's good. It's never interesting.
It was so funny. Did you guys

204
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.080
watch the Rangers yesterday? Orb you
make your own venison whiskey, it says

205
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:24.600
here and Beaver Rangers, Beaver Bogsellers
or three other bottles. I did watch

206
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.360
the Rangers. That is back to
back days. I spent watching entire baseball

207
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:35.559
games. It's the most baseball you've
watched all year. Okay, combined those

208
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:41.440
two games is the most Rangers baseball
you have watched all year. I have

209
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:48.279
not watched eighteen innings total this season. You don't have VALI I have watched

210
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.080
it either. I watched eighteen the
last two days. It would have been

211
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.720
significantly higher. Than that. If
you had BALI no doubt, because it

212
00:15:54.840 --> 00:16:00.919
was a Valley twenty five, it
would be on like every day. You

213
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.679
know what. My first thought on
those games, the games, both of

214
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:11.799
the games which awesome, so fun, is that we basically didn't have one

215
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:18.320
moment of stress, really crazy like, because that's the best part about playoff

216
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.440
baseball is the stress. It's so
tense and everything's just so hanging by a

217
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:29.600
thread offensively and defensively. And they
won, they dominated. It was beautiful.

218
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:32.360
We're going to talk about it,
you know, throughout the morning,

219
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.600
and there was no stress. There
was never, never anything that freaks out.

220
00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.639
And it's coming because some of these
other games were high stress, and

221
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:47.519
that's almost why I like it so
much. But I will take easy Street

222
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:53.159
every damn time. When we started, we were talking about this on Monday

223
00:16:53.159 --> 00:17:00.039
and Tuesday starting the wild Card series, just feeling so hopeless and feeling you

224
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.759
know, the way the season ended, and just kind of like, hey,

225
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:04.880
all right, fine, you're in
the tournament. We'll just see what

226
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:11.400
happens. We were thinking how fortunate
we would be if we were getting ready

227
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.319
to talk about a game three this
afternoon, and the fact that we're sitting

228
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.160
here right now. Not only no
Game three, but they allowed one run.

229
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:26.079
Yeah, over two games against Tampa. Insane, just absolutely crazy.

230
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.559
I will say this too, back
to the Bally's point that I haven't watched

231
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.599
any baseball this year because I refuse
to subscribe to Bally's and it's not available

232
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.000
on my provider. I think that's
the reason that I've watched a bunch of

233
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.079
weird TV, because, honestly,
Mikey, that time would be taken up

234
00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:47.400
by me at seven o'clock or seven
thirty flipping on the Rangers, and that

235
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:49.039
would just be on in the night, no matter what you're doing, no

236
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:56.599
matter what you're doing. Yeah,
I agree. It's not surprising though.

237
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.240
Baseball is one. I mean,
hockey, We've talked about this before.

238
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.799
I think the sport you can go
from the eighth seed or whatever you want

239
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.160
to call it and rattle off the
title. I mean, the Rangers can

240
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.799
win the World Series this show absolutely, you know what I mean, we

241
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:11.920
kind of knew that sort of until
they lost the division and and the and

242
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:17.039
when you lost Sures or you know, yeah, the Crown thing happened so

243
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:18.599
long ago. Be like, all
right, we got Sures. I mean

244
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:19.920
they still have a guy. I
mean baseball, you feel like you kind

245
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:23.319
of need the one dude, whether
or not that person is brought in to

246
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.000
be that guy or someone evolves into
that guy. In hell, the Evaldi

247
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:33.039
who has four vowels out of only
six letters wow, E O V A

248
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:44.200
L seven letters four at A seven
A lot of owls. Yeah. Yeah,

249
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.640
Like in baseball, vote anything can
happen. Hockey, I think is

250
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:51.839
the number one where anything can happen, Like an eighth seed can just rattle

251
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.200
get hot and rattle off. Like
like basketball, it's never gonna happen.

252
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.039
You know, if you eeke into
the playoffs, like you're just waiting,

253
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.839
who's going to slaughter us? Maybe
maybe you steal the series, but then

254
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.160
you're just gonna get wiped. Football
it's all about the quarterback and football because

255
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.319
it's only one game. I guess
you always have a chance, but it's

256
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.039
that's the worst team that eaks into
the playoffs does rattle off of Super Bowl

257
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:19.279
Championship. All the wildcard teams have
done it. Yeah, But baseball,

258
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.200
it can happen. It absolutely can. And this is why some of this,

259
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:27.720
like I don't know, negative energy. Maybe we did to ourselves.

260
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.400
Plus it's a combination of meeting in
the middle. We did it to ourselves

261
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.039
and the Rangers did it to us
throughout their history. Okay, plus going

262
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.680
into literally one week ago, one
week ago Thursday, we were going,

263
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.279
Okay, all they got to do
is win two games or win one game,

264
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.000
get one Astros loss, and we
have a bye, and we were

265
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.519
feeling pretty good. We are in
there, and we are in the final

266
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.039
four or the final four in the
American League, so like, and then

267
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.319
they just sucked, you know,
in Seattle, and you go, well,

268
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:00.559
geez, I would have to work
really hard for this, So like

269
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:06.000
there's a reason, like we would
have felt way differently about the same had

270
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:07.880
they had a week off to just
hang out. And the fact they had

271
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:11.000
to go earn it and then play
good, you start to go, oh,

272
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:12.640
maybe they could work in our advantage. But you know how this thing's

273
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:18.839
gone up and down and Ebbden flowed
and they've gotten hot and they've been mystifying

274
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:25.759
with how bad they could be bullpen
misery and maybe they just decided or it

275
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.359
just it all came full circle that
they started the wild Card Series and it

276
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.519
was their first game of the starting
of a hot streak. Yeah, and

277
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.680
you'd rather have that, of course
in the playoffs than having to be up

278
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.119
and down. And man, they've
shown it the amount of runs they've scored,

279
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.480
how locked down their starting pitching has
been. If you look at them

280
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.200
as a whole and not take it
in two week chunks or whatever. This

281
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.359
team, what are they this year? They are a badass, powerful offense

282
00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:59.680
that does get some good starting pitching. Yes, yep, so that's what

283
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.279
they did, and they've added to
that with Nick or what's his name Carter?

284
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:08.279
Yeah, yeah, not Nick Carter
of the back Boys. Yeah,

285
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.839
Nick, We'll get Nick Carter.
It's early. It's good that we have

286
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.559
Evan Carter, who looks like our
part time board operator up here, g

287
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:21.240
money. Yeah, kind of if
you saw that a little bit, I'm

288
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:26.680
like, it's kind of to take
Carter now. Plus they have Nick Nick,

289
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.559
Yeah Carter, Nick Carter. I
was like Nick, I was like

290
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:34.240
I thought he was thinking Jordan Montgomery's
first name was Nick. Nick on the

291
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:38.039
team. I don't we have a
Nick on the team. Not officially awake

292
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:42.960
until seven thirty. Good Nick Martinez
a few years ago, Hey two one

293
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.680
four eight one seven seven eight seven
one nine seven one. If you aren't

294
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:52.359
going to the Echo Lounge for tonight's
anniversary party, can we change your mind

295
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:55.079
with tickets? We want to ask
you why you're up, So call in

296
00:21:55.119 --> 00:22:00.319
now right now, like you gotta
go now, yeah, right now.

297
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.240
I don't take forty seconds for the
phone calls light up. But then someone

find that mikey, do you even know

318
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.799

319
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.079
have a clue Google, yes,
of course, talking about all he does

320
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.000
and then he pretends to be knowledgeable. That's all we're all doing on the

321
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.839
radio anyways. We're all not just
ash everyone right quickly searching stuff, pretendingly.

322
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:07.720
We're all just winging it. Absolutely, everyone is just winging it.

323
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:12.559
Are you sure you're not filming Tokyo
drift right now? Yeah? I don't

324
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:19.839
know. There's some stupid little Japanese
car park can exhaust over there. I'm

325
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:26.599
glad you said car. Yeah,
I love that you work at an automotive

326
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:33.640
repair shop. That's cool some days. Yeah, you specialize in like European

327
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.759
cars, or classic cars or just
whatever, a little bit of everything,

328
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:45.039
except for land Rovers because there nobody
walks on those. Is that the dumbest

329
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:51.119
car? Well? The British are
known for a lot of bad things.

330
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:56.160
Bad teeth, bad food, bad
TV shows. Hey, hey, money,

331
00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:00.039
Python, the Holy Grail, Money, Python's Flying Circuits. No,

332
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.599
no, that's great years ago.
I'm at crime like bad crime shows.

333
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.880
Their crime shows are infinitely better than
ours. What's your dream car, Mike?

334
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.599
You don't really have a dream car, They're just things. I've had

335
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:19.000
one car since nineteen eighty nine and
I'll probably keep it until I give it

336
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.480
to one of my children, her
grandchildren. What is that? What car?

337
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:29.839
It's a nineteen seventy three Mercury Cougar
convertible. Oh hell yeah? Yeah?

338
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.079
Did you? Won't you give it
to Danny? No? Keep it

339
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.920
for your kids. Who cares these
kids get out to Most of these kids

340
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:42.680
don't deserve all the sweet stuff they
get from their parents. The radio seventy

341
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.960
three. Cougar is a badass machine, especially as you've got he's got the

342
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:51.440
rag top on that nice choice.
No, you don't give it to Dingo.

343
00:25:56.039 --> 00:26:03.839
This car looks amazing. Do you
have the hidden headlights? No,

344
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.640
that was only up until nineteen seventy
seventy one. They got rid of those,

345
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.839
went to the quad rounds. Gotcha? What color is that thing?

346
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:17.759
It's red? Mike, we gotta
go. Why we're having fun talking to

347
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:19.720
Mike our friend? Yeah? Why
do you hate him? I was just

348
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:22.680
trying to nail these straddle reports guys. All right, go ahead, Hey

echo lines tonight? No, sir,

350
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:33.480
I am not. Do you straight
up honest? At least almost? Could

351
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:40.720
you be swung in another direction?
Or you get concrete plans? Pretty concrete

352
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:42.839
plans. I mean, if you
want to call my seven year old granddaughter

353
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:47.839
