All right, good morning. Here we go Tuesday, December nineteenth. This
is the final downbeat episode of twenty twenty three. Properly at Phil ends rest
of the week, although that's no slight to Pugs and Sybil and Lacey.
G are gonna hold it down Tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, so we are
gonna wrap it up. We don't have Danny. There's no Danny today.
What Yeah, because you know, vacause he is not here. He did.
He gave us the shrugs hands up emoji and around two weeks for Thanksgiving,
guys have forty vacation days lefts. What you gotta do about it?
Yeah, I said, good call, man. You saved him. You
telling me I'm not gonna see Danny until January second. January second, the
next time you see. Yeah. Unless you guys have holiday plans, what
you might nothing written down yet, Yeah, nothing scheduled. Get it on
the docket, man. You guys can watch the Cowboys get together on Christmas
Eve. Cowboys Dolphins, a lot of hope. Eagles lost last night.
You guys could get together, make some chili. I'm just learning that.
Jackson Smith and Jigbos from Rock Wall, do you know that I did not
know that you knew that. Yeah, he's got a Cowboys star tattoo in
his arms. Well, I tell you what, when it comes to where
kids with the high school I just don't give a single damn he balled.
You know those people, yeah, you know those people who follow high school
football closely, and he might be one of them. I'm sorry to a
really cover high school football. I don't know how they do it. Well,
there's so much, there's too much of it, and there's too many
schools, and at some point there's too many four a's and five a's and
six a's. There's a lot of schools. I'm like, huh huh,
I'm not doing it. Wait till you get to a good college, play
there for a year, then transfer out, and then transfer out after another
year, and then go to the bigs. I don't know who you are.
I just remember his name being like you know those high school highlights,
Yeah, Saturday Friday, Saturday night, you know, speak out too,
And then I was his highlights hate. I was like, man, and
they were like, he's doing Ohio State. I was like, oh man,
the kids would be good, and he is good. And he made
an incredible catch last night, Yeah, with like forty five seconds left in
the game, as Drew Locke leads the Sea Bags, Yeah to a last
second victory over the hated Eagles. And Eagles are such a mess right now.
They actually could lose one of those games the Giants, and that game
to the Cardinals. Not likely, but it could happen, although they had
COVID or the flu or something running amok. I love hers. Was the
saddest he's ever looked yesterday. Yeah, the least hot he ever looked,
really was. He didn't know it didn't He needed to be nursed back to
health. He didn't look like he was from the nineties anymore. Our nineties
hot quarterback JJ's number one quarterback, narrowly beating the backup for the Panthers or
whoever she picked that was number two. It was weird. It was now
like number four was some backup Aidan O'Connell. No it was not. It
was Tennessee David Willis will Will Yeah, third stringer, and she threw Zach
Wills at number eight, so she'd had one white dude on the Zach Wilson
is cute though, cute, and it's funny because I didn't even think cute
and hot are different. You know that, I know, I know that.
But if you're gonna look at the whole NFL quarterback like ten is hard
to say, like there's ten hot quarterbacks, there's maybe four. There's more
good ones than there are hot ones. Yeah, so you gotta start narrowing
that list down. Okay, Okay, Who's cute? And I feel like
he's going to be very good looking when he gets older if he stays.
Are we talking about he's unproblematic? Wilson, Zach, he's got like dimples.
I actually think it might be a decent time to buy on Zach Willson,
Like you know these guys, and maybe it because I watched his b
while you highlight package recently that you know with like the tweet of whatever happened
to this guy? And he's all swaggy and badass. They were fun too,
he was ripping it and there's some good throws he made in college.
This is uh. See yesterday we started JJ's top ten movies of twenty twenty
three and then the stream cutout. We get kicked off the air for a
couple of minutes. All technical difficulties, no bigger issue than that. It
happened to every local iHeart station. I just want to clear that up for
anyone that thought big changes were happening format flip or something. Now, I
thought that, oh, just just the amount of misinformation. You know.
We had to do a nearly a two hour, NonStop yeah segment with no
breaks and nothing planned. We did like a Hulk run practice run. We
did a qualifying laugh with the hulkathon. We did two hours and no commercial
and you know that's fine, get it all fixed. I enjoyed Christine and
Steve today ten to two, the Speakeasies two to six at Alamo Draft House.
Oh in Lake Highlands. I'm gonna go pop in hang out with them
last hour or so because we got movie tonight Office Christmas Party six fifteen,
the Let's Freaking Chill Movie Series, and you can be there. It's seven
dollars tickets. And if you're like, hey, if I can make it,
show up late, we don't care. It's gonna be a party.
We've we've decided that we are going to make this one of those movies where
you can kind of talk in it. Yeah, you know, yeah,
throw stuff, throw popcorn, throw your silverware. That's a couple of Draft
House people are like, oh, I got to clean that up. But
seven dollars is the ticket? Were's something quote unquote festive, Right, it's
like festive. Basically, we're just gonna buy you a drink seven dollars.
Yeah. Well, I mean if everyone wears something and there's one dude,
it's like, oh my god, it's got off work until I forgot what
are we gonna say? Yeah, we'll buy a drink drink, you know,
but you know that's goin of going at six fifteen and we'll you speak
easy there two to six Good Times Today Times the movie six fifteen fifteen Early
Bird. Yeah, because we're going to give people like time to go do
stuff after go home. What they want to do go to karaoke? Almo
draft House, Lake Island's location. Is there any Tuesday night karaoke down there?
Okay, that's well I did say at that time, but you've asked
twice. Kat wants to be singing on a microphone tomorrow night. I can
tell tonight tonight. Well it feels like tomorrow night because of the shift we
work. But yes, m okay, probably I don't see anything jumping out
of me for Tuesday nights. But you know, either way, we'll see
what happens. I guess I like to party, especially when I wake up
the next day, so that's gonna be good. I'm honored that we have
some pugs and Sybil dude, didn't that cool? And they're like, you
know, tweeting about it and yeah, so they're in the rest of the
week and in the word most next week. I guess not Christmas, and
yeah, not the twenty six sixth. I don't know whatever, Yes,
you doing anything for Christmas? You heading anywhere? Got a couple, nothing
special, nothing, There could be a spur of the moment. Just get
a flight somewhere. Okay, that's what I'm thinking too, but I doubt
it. Go to New Orleans. I was thinking about that. I'm going
to Florida, where please do then load up? It would be in a
heaven. Load up. You know, let's get it going. Why not?
But you know, I'm also like thinking of all the things I could
accomplish at home, literally, like the back porch that I'm still trying to
get all this gravel off of and that was like pounded onto the back porch.
Finally get that finished. Can I ask you something about home ownership?
Uh? Huh? What do you guys do with all these leaves? Well?
Am I supposed to do with all these leaves? I don't do anything,
but I know I've seen a lot of people in my neighborhood and it's
had me thinking I should rake them and put them in a bag and then
lay them out for a bulky pickup day? Is that what you're supposed to
do? So they're supposed to do. I don't know. For you in
Dallas, it's a little different. For Richardson, I have an app,
the Richard's an app, and you can like, hey, submit a request
like give me the bulky pickup day, and they tell you when to do
it m hmm and when to have it out. We have a website that
tells us what day it is. It's like whatever, Wednesday, second of
the month or something. I don't know if this has been different in years
past, though, but I have my entire home and yard is covered in
these leaves. I've noticed more leaves than usual. I think it's like a
seasonal like the maybe the way fall or cold weather hit everything just felt the
same time this year, or is it exactly the same every year, probably
a little later now because I believe, I swear I'm not doing the climate
change global warming thing, but I do believe this. Over time, the
seasons have changed. Closh everything a month back. Okay, yeah, but
I've owned the house for like six years, so that's too small of a
sample. The December is when the fall starts. Now, so what I'm
saying, So you're saying it stays warmer later and the leaves cling on until
there's a moment when they are just like a can't oh, everybody off?
Or the tree? Yeah? Is the leaf getting sick of the tree or
the tree just saying I'm hot, get off of me. No, it's
the leaf not being able to cling on anymore because it's because it got cold.
I think on some level, the tree is pushing the leaves off.
If you think about it, don't act like the tree is not involved in
this. Well, no, the tree probably has a little bit of say
yeah, but it's the leave who's hanging on for dear life. The leaf
is just just a part. I've heard dendrologist fall in and tell us about
freeze and leaves. I have an eighty six foot tree over my house not
eighty six feet and has a lot of leaves, and they're all everywhere.
And I was out there yesterday and I'm like, what do I don't have
a rake, so not to go buy another? Buy a rake? I
got a Rake's like ten bucks? Yeah, but all I do is I
want to get you bucks bucks, ten bucks. No, it's nothing,
it's nothing. I want to get you a rake. You should have got
me a rake for Christmas. Good. I have a rake up ere.
God, there's nothing more depressing than getting seeing a rake getting bad tools.
I mean, eventually it'll feel good to get that stuff. But I think
you and I are a couple of guys are trying to cling to our to
our youth, you more than me, just because of the sheer age of
us both. Do you think me out there raking is not? I just
feel like a oh cool rag and I to go do work outside. Awesome.
I will say, all the leaves have sort of covered all the dog
poop that I should have been picking up this whole time, though too it
see the old tax break there thereby a little back end profit there. But
my neighbors have clearly dedicated a day or two Sylvia has dedicated a day to
getting these leaves out of her yard, and her yard looks nice. Now
Sylvia, she wants to gill over time. Oh, she has a rake
too. I borrowed a ladder. I borrowed a ladder from Sylvia. I
thought I was gonna die on this thing, and inspired me to purchase my
own ladder. Ladder's a great purchase. I bought one. I bought a
ladder. Is it just a standard folding ladder, dude? I bought I
fell for some futuristic Oh no, yeah, you know, it like all
cinches up and then you pull it out and it clicks, like just pulls
straight out. I mean, it's kind of awesome. Actually, now it's
good to go high in That probably leaves the ladder and my ladder technically something
that could kill you. I probably could happen. But when you go full
extension, it's not like an a frame ladder. It's still just a ladder,
but it's got space age polymers in it, so it's apparently it holds.
But when you get it for the full extension, you get up there
pretty high, that middle starts wobbling a little bit, you know, like
you start thinking what's the what's the weight grade on this thing? Can it
handle this this level of athleticism. I definitely had a six footer and I
said, you know what, it's got to get a ten footer just to
get to the top of the house. If you had some clean gutters,
you clean gutters sometimes, you know, gutters, those gloves on and get
in there and dig that mud out of there. It's good to have.
I don't know. Well, so so big home projects are on the menu
for its Christmas break as of right now possible. We've definitely discussed moving around
the living room a little bit. Oh really, you know, because you
know, if you move it around a certain way and you added a couch,
we could have two couches and move a you know, some things around.
But yeah, I don't know. You know, that's one of those
things like how am I going to spend my days off? Well, you
end up sitting there going I'm probably gonna have to spend money on something.
Otherwise you're just not doing anything. Do you ever do this? Where?
Trust me, Hey, Kevin that lived alone could have stayed in his apartment
and just done nothing all day, been a happy fella. COVID didn't affect
this guy too much. Mister introvert, for the most part, was pretty
good with that. But now it's kind of like, you know, you
have a fiance. Yeah, you got to do the entertaining. Are you
calling her a fiance yet? No? Say it? It sounds weird.
It sounds French or something weird. I'm pretty sure it. Don't like it,
fiance. I fear that I'm just gonna Okay, so I want I'm
off starting tomorrow until the second. Yeah, it's amazing, it's a magic
trick. I should go. I should go to Miami for the Dolphins.
That's what I was thinking you should do. I mean, it's a big
game. Okay, but here's a I don't know Christina is up yet.
So she is, I'm wants to and is sort of obligated to go see
her parents on Christmas. Yeah, that's what That's what I do, or
that's what I'm doing, and I gotta do her family the twenty fourth okay,
and I get that where I'll get teased for being the only white guy.
Really, they all speed talk, yeah, in some moon man language
that you can't understand. A couple of them making videos of me being the
awkward white guy Mexican Christmas. Would you do Thanksgiving? You couldn't sit or
no. I was holding a place so some other some of the a couple
of the cousins could get their seat back on the couch, so I just
kind of standing there by it, so knowing would sit there. You know,
I was holding their seat for them while they went to get food.
But I was watching the game. And he instagrammed me her cousin instagram me
Gato and said, cousin brought her white boyfriend to Thanksgiving and he's standing for
the national anthem. Okay, that's what I knew. It was funny.
It was pretty funny, but he was just too many. He makes like
white power jokes and stuff. I'm like, dude, I'm not a white
nationalist. I'm just the only white guy here. Okay, Like, come
on, man, that's a big difference. I support Gatto Gaeta. Yeah,
well so again, what's tomorrow the twentieth under the twentieth. But I
can't make a move. I can't go anywhere. Cast stuck because yeah,
three day window, Yeah, a three day window and then a happy back
just so you know she can go hug Well, here's the Huger parents for
an hour on Christmas and then what then I could have then we could leave.
Yeah, here's a secret tell you this. Maybe doesn't skin have a
cabin up and broken bow mm hmm. Y'all in the tall trees? Well
don't we just checked the availability of that and go snatch that thing up as
some of them. I don't know. Maybe you don't want to be with
your work friends. Dude, I would do that, but I might sit
there a year for like two or three days. Just two days, probably
two days. I think three is okay? Up? Three yeah? Maybe
three yeah, And I'm just like, I don't know. I don't know
how much it is. And you three days is the absolute max for Vegas
and New Orleans anywhere else you can you can do three days. Should get
there like Tuesday night, the twenty six, come back on the twenty eighth.
Yeah, just think it out loud. I don't know. And I
just burned the New Orleans thing, which was amazing. But like another quick,
quick anything trip might be might be in play. But anyway, we
have Christmas right the middle eleven. We have to go do that. Yeah,
okay, I have four pairs of tickets to see Ron White at wind
Star excuse me on the twenty ninth. Yeah, four pair? What are
we gonna do with them? Let's sell them, dude, Let's sell them
on the secondary market. Oh no, no, I don't own me for
this vacation we're going on. Yeah, I don't own them. They were
they were given to me to give away to the audience in some former fas.
Again. Yeah, all we do is give, We give, and
we give. What if we played finish that Christmas lyric? Okay? Is
that a good game? Not really? Okay, it's sucks. Just the
basic daily trivia that I have. I like that. Uh So, light
up the phones two one four or eight one seven seven eight seven one nine
seven one. You can text us all day on that, but call us
and we'll pop you on here and see if you get your Ron White tickets
because I got for them four pair to give away. This is good.
You win these. Well, I don't know if we'll get them to you
in time, probably not knowing this joint, but that's a good like Christmas
thing for Pau Paul right or I don't know who likes Ron White? Yeah,
I don't know. It might be funny I'm not. I just don't
know. But just given his last name, I think the demographic is mainly
white Asians. Really what about Reggie White? And Asians love Ron White?
According to Bob Costas, Yeah, I don't know he was. Wasn't he
a part of the Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the cable guy that's worthy coaching tree
billing, will coach comedy tree. I don't know that great redneck comedy tour.
If you brush your teeth and bacon grace, you might rehind Nick.
I know, you know, more building billing. Let's go there, and
I'm driving the other day down I thirty side, say, convenience store two
miles away, exit in two miles then where the cable guy goes out in
the and then Ron White's the guy. I don't even know his voice sounds
like that wasn't all building to an incredible Ron White? Oh? Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know. Damn it, what you could have
carried shrug that landing out there with the with the most perfect I know what
he looks like. He's older, dude, gray hair. I've seen him.
Yeah, I feel probably got some classics. He's the guy we've all
seen, you know, but I don't. I don't know which. More
than that, I'll tell you at seven. We have an incredible thing to
get into in sports and which it's been debated, black man versus white man
in football? How would it go? Rishard Mendenhall brought it up, asked
the question. He asked the question and the responses have been fabulous. Incredible
tweet from Rashad Mendenhall and a local guy in hot Water at six thirty with
an actor, a Marvel man who they've put a lot on. They've dropped
him. We'll tell you more about that six thirty. Let's go first,
collar, Hi, what's your name? Hey? My name is Jordan and
I'm on Team FM. Alry, Team FOUN. Thank you Jordan. The
Warriors that we created yesterday and we're stuck only on FM. That's where for

Where do you go to work at? I lead worship for a church in
Prisco, Texas? All right, I already have a pastor friend, but

But I'm at like seven years with my other pastor friend. The pastors,
I could be a young pastor fan. Do I have a pastor's joke?
Yeah, got a great pastor's joke. Okay, hit me. What's
the difference between a Baptist pastor and a Methodist pastor? Oh, I'm not
going to get this. The Baptist pastor will hide from you at the liquor
store. You know what. That in my experience is true. Yeah,
that just maybe that's too niche. No, it's not too niche. I
mean for me, that is at home. For me is a bounced around
all the churches. The Baptists don't, don't there's some something there about they
do it. They definitely party, okay, but there's something about it's seen
as shameful or something there. You only take two pasngers fishing instead of one
because one will drink up all your beer. Yeah, no trivia for you.
Put you on hold, Jordan, just give him. We need the
