This is the Downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak right, the
double damn Downbeat. Speaking of Head and Down in case you have missed us
talking about it for the entirety of this show, maybe too much. I
don't know. If we had one segment it wasn't primarily about our adventure to
Houston. But we've decided we're in to the land of purple Drink. That's
right, you interview Paul Wall and we decided at six thirty am we're doing
this, and we've spent most of the show today putting this bad boy together.
Prosper Ford has stepped up and given us a brand new vehicle because the
car was the biggest issue we had and we were stuck with the station vehicle
for most of this thing. But I am heading up the toll way,
the whole way to prosper Ford. Prosper is now officially on my roster,
and I'm gonna go pick that thing up from Edwin. He's got stew there
standing ready, toss me the keys. We're gonna have a sweet, sweet
ride to Head Down I forty five together. As The Downbeat goes to Game
seven tonight, there's still a couple of logistical things that I think need sorting.
I don't know if hotels and tickets are being worked on as we speak.
I hope so. One tip from a textra I wouldn't play grab ass
on the way down to Houston traffic there is brutal. I go twice a
week, so I do think it's bad when you get there like whatever the
phone says to Houston added like an hour. Yeah, maybe, And we're
gonna go straight to the iHeart station and set up our equipment and test it,
make sure that works so we will hopefully well. We will be broadcasting
live from Houston, Texas tomorrow morning six to ten am for the show after
a damn ALCS Game seven that we hope goes well winn lose. Will either
be celebrating with you in the morning from Houston the scene of the crime,
or we will be trying to get you through your morning with a lot of
commiseration. Another text, I love y'all spirit. My parents rewatched the game
last night instead of sleeping, and they got their tickets and headed to Houston.
Heading to Houston here soon with my three brothers and sister in law,
go Rangers. We're gonna meet up with some ranger folks. I guarantee you
that are inspired by our gumption to do this. Yep. And they're gonna
go down there because they heard the Ding Dong down beat talking about It's like,
you know what, that's a good idea. Let's do it. Let's
do it. How do you think they'll recognize you too at the game.
It'll be easy. I'll be the idiot wearing a cow outfit, and I'll
be Kevio. It'll be keV Oh, and I'll be their handler. Mike.
Now, you're gonna be good enough. I don't have whatever I don't
I want to talk about. I'll figure it out after I go to draw
the way to prosper to get our vehicle. Then I'll figure out what I'm
gonna wear. I'll tell you one thing, because I've acquiesced on dressing up
as a cow. I'm not gonna be asking people a bunch of questions about
a pig, wait one or the other. Bit Nazis. Let's see,
we'll get a couple, We'll get a couple of beers in you and see
if change your mind. We need audio. We need to tell the tale
of what happens tomorrow. Or tonight tomorrow on the show. Absolutely, I'm
looking forward to going up to random Astros fans as Cavio and questioning them,
are you gonna expand your bit or just just use your catchphrase all the time.
Just the catchphrase and just see what happens. It's all you need.
Just hey, it's me Kevio and they hold the mic out and see what
they say it's me. Yeah, we'll find out the Metroplex loves your catchphrase.
Well, that's why I have a credential from the Italian media because of
that catchphrase that I originally came up with on my own. It's a me
okay a vo. I can't wait, man, I cannot wait to be
fun. I don't do stuff like this. This is great, this is
this is our your one life you have, this is These are the adventures
you need to say yes to and instead a list of reasons why I can't.
I can't. It doesn't make sense. No, they changed things on
as quick on this world. So enjoy you every minute while you have it.
Zach, live by it, Live by this thing, I said one
time, Live by it. How about the hot Bop? All right?
All right, we made an awfulness to this fact. We s sorry,
not your fancy dress, your white guy better gotta get the hot it all
up, my trustee hot mom. Somebody'd say, maybe you guys can crashed
on the couch of Ryan Presley, who's the listener of the pre the station.
We're out and our good friend's guest house and all that stuff. What
if he blows Game seven and then we show up at his house looking for
couches to sleep on in costumes and cow and Mario, that'd be fantastic.
And he's like, God, that's kind of the worst day of my life.
But I do think you guys are kind of funny. Nice to meet
you. Move, I'm Danny. You got a couple of hot mobs,
and then we'll chicken with the playmaker Ben Rogers. Man, I am so
glad to hear you guys are rallying the troops. Man, it'd be great
if y'all had a long ass line for people cruising down here. The h
town would get with y'all to meet the freaking trash truths. And what would
even be greater is if it was covered by the news station. The motes
could tell the boys turn on the TV and see the support of Okay,
working at like a four assembly line boach you guys, Hey, guys,
look up beer. These guys do a radio showing they're headed down your way
to all these lifters on this to eighty nine here as they finished getting the
five on Hedgy's ass. Hey, guys, my name is Jonathan Braddock,
and I just heard your scheme to get down to Houston, and I run
a volunteer driver program, and I would be willing to drive you guys down
and back tonight and even maybe tomorrow morning. Our volunteer driver program helps people
get to places where they aren't able to because they don't have transportations. So
volunteer driver dot org all right, you need a volunteer driver there. It's
actually very nice. It's very service. Volunteer driver dot org one last coffee.
Nice people have been offering things. Jonathan offered some of his travel business
points to put us in a room. That was sweet. Don't worry about
it, Jonathan, you keep those. Hey, I'm beat one of your
audience members here. You can call me to clue if you like. I
don't actually care if you'll dress up. I don't care if you wear eggplant
pickle or go as a cow. But at this point, with all the
talk, I do want you to go. So if any of your higher
ups need to know that, I want you to go. At this point,
you've talked it up. I'm excited. I want you to be there.
But let's make it out all right. Oh we are, thank you.
But I think that you know, the costume element adds a lot.
It adds very little. Hey boys, this is San Antonio Mike on Coast
to Coast on the iHeart Radio app. I don't know if you saw my
text earlier, but I feel like there's a new movie being created here.
I don't know if it's road Trip two, Hangover four, or maybe Astro
World Vacation with soroy as Chevy Chase. I don't know, but whatever it's
going to be, it's gonna be a fabulous disaster. I can't wait to
hear about it. Give me a shout out. There's your shout out.
Give me a shout out. As he closed his windows ninety four. If
you know that, as you can sign off, raise. I do like
whatever, it's gonna be a fabulous disaster. That is that's the name of
this trip showed nickname. Yeah, I have three more here, shorties,
so downbeat. I've got a proposition for you boys. By the way,
Derek and for Worth here. I'm off work today. Uh, I'm about
as big a Rangers fan as you're gonna find. And I can call him
sick work tomorrow. Do y'all need a roadie? I don't know, think
about it. I don't think what to load in my my bassamp to Yeah,
the juice box, a single backpacker with one pair of underwear in it.
Is the fact that you're one of the biggest Ranger fans you could ever
find. Is that a good selling point or a bad one? Mind?
Oh? Yeah, this is Dan Bennett. Let me just speak with Daniel
Bayless. Hello, this is Dan Bennett. Damn it. I don't know
what that means. He did know how to use the iHeartRadio. Yeah,
talkback microphone. Last one, you'll have to take Malcolm with you and do
like a remake of Three Men and a Baby. We should have to bring
Malcolm. That would be really funny. Kevin and I try to figure out
how to help it. Anyway, As long as I can be Gutenberg,
I'm happy. I don't have the mustache for Tom Selleck but you will tonight.
Kevi. Oh, although you wouldn't want to be Guttenberg when he could
be Ted Danson. I mean, he'd be entertained by our costumes. You
could be worse than being Steve Gutenberg. Yeah, for sure has a star.
Ben Rocky roomy walks into If he walked into this room right now,
we'd go, hey, look at Steve. Oh my god, do you
believe it? Yeah, that'd be awesome. Ben Rogers, the than skin
shoemaker, the playmaker, I love my bene of listens. He's like,
man, I love these guys. I support these guys. I have an
idea. Bam. Five minutes later, brand new car from prosper Forward.
I think The Downbeat is the best radio show in America. That's very nice
of me to say. I love this show so damn much. And yes,
I was listening and I was riveted, and I wanted to get involved
and help the cause. And so I'm glad prosper Ford stepped up. I
heard Zach getting yelled at in his office. Yeah, oh, because none
of this was approved, none of this was run through corporate, all the
paperwork and the insurre everything. And I heard him getting yelled at but he
did tell me. He goes, go ahead and let those guys know that
the hotel is confirmed. Boom. He's like, don't tell him. It's
a real dump. Yeah, yeah, told me not to tell you.
Well, we expected that. We're kind of scumbag. It's going to be
two twin beds of a cot. He said the seats are a done deal,
that they're worse than the hotel or motel, and that they may be
like obstructed views. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a train goes by in
front of us. The studio is confirmed, but it may not be in
the studio, like the studios are being used, so it would be like
the hallway, like they've run gables out there. It's on property. It's
okay, yeah, you get it, you understand it. Fine, we
accept their terms. I mean at six thirty am, I was not thinking.
I was just going to go home and you know, maybe we catch
a workout, you know, cook a nice healthy meal and then get ready
for game seven. And now it's turned into what could be a fabulous disaster.
That's right, it will be a fabulous disaster. Thank you for running
up prosper Forward for us, Ben, that was huge, and thank you
to them for giving us a new vehicle, so we aren't taking the freak.
We say what we want vehicle down forty five. It probably doesn't have
a bluetooth. Rolling up to Astro's parking lot and that thing and three knuckleheads
pile out dressed like Kevio and a cow, and god knows what numb nuts
is gonna come up with. The last one to drive that vehicle was kid
Cratic. That is over ten years ago. Lord, seriously, when was
the last oil. It's the old Eagle vehicle. They really just wrapped it
like, because I remember getting concerned, was like, why haven't they wrapped
this yet? And I think that the inspection sticker is stolen, like it's
up to date, but I think they like stole it from another car with
like a razor blade. If we do get a room with two queen beds,
oh should we decide right now? I think you got us the link
I sent zach As that was scouring through the show to look for stuff.
It was a place that was a bit of a dump, but it was
three singles, okay, single rooms, yeah, rather than one nice room,
three single rooms. We're not staying at the Horny hostel. You have
no problem doing a cut if it need be, if we do stay together.
No, I do think we should do an old Dingo bit and we
all have to watch an adult pay per view together and review it tomorrow morning
only discussing the plot. You guys do realize how little time we're gonna have
after this game, because this game will probably end. We'll get out of
there by eleven maybe, and then we've got to get back, probably gonna
need to get something to eat. We're gonna get back to our hood.
It's gonna be like freaking one in the morning, before we even think about
falling asleep. You have to go down and try to get on TV every
chance we get. Yeah, I like all three of us sharing one bed
and having to watch an entire porno together. Who's gonna want to watch a
porno when their freaking phone alarm is gonna go off at four eight and we
have to keep looking at the Denny monitor as legendary morning would That is uncontrollable.
I mean, if it does come down to it, for real,
Danny on my stomach. Any People magazine was talking about it, shake that
tiny d the white dresses Mark duper at the game tonight. Danny is our
elder statesman and he had back surgery. He needs a good bed. He's
not gonna be on a cot. Guess what, young buck, You're going
to be on the car. You're a cut guy. I never Yeah,
Look, we've been in some bad situations over the years, though, Ben,
we've said, some bad places. We can fight to the elements a
little bit. Yeah, have you ever stayed at a place that had ceiling
blood? A lot of blood on the ceiling coming through from the six paint
the walls after this noble homicide? But yeah, I don't know if we
really got the money to afford some paint for the ceiling. The Start hotel
that had bed bugs, a used condom on the stairwell as we went to
our room, very little security. One Samoan drug bust. Definitely a prostitute
situation because that was a that was happening. Yeah, there was a lot,
was the bit and Skin busted me out. Yeah, Ben wouldn't,
haven't it? And it's like, we're gonna get Kt out of Playmaker snapped
into action after they spent two nights at a real nice place. They said,
we're gonna get Kat out of here. Now He's like, thank god,
I told Mike Fisher, I'm effing out of here. Bro Dude,
Mike Bassett brought his kids on that trip. Why and I don't know why,
but he brought his kids on that trip and he wouldn't let them take
their shoes off in the hotel room. It was that nasty Yeah, you're
gonna get happened? Was your ceiling blood like a splatter pattern? Or was
it blood soaked from the room above. I think it was blood soak from
the room above. Oh yeah, Okay, this heavy blood band trip back
in the I don't know, the early nineties at a Motels five, the
Motel five. Do we have the name of the motel we're at yet?
I don't have the reputable name. No, there is Gonna Hoon's Houston Gold.
Radio stations do not have expanding budgets. If anything, they're getting smaller,
and this is unplanned. I think the budget for your room is like
thirty nine bucks per night for all of y'all. They're paying for our room
by the hour. That tells you anything. It's one of those not a
bad value because they're only gonna be in there for four hours. Anyway,
there the Houston iHeart people were asking us to stop at the Madisonville BUCkies to
get them a bag of beaver nuggets. This is an actual iHeart train them
on right now. Okay, you guys don't have time to run errands for
people. But at the same time you are guess, yeah, we got
to bring something nice. Yeah, we'll stop at a BUCkies. Why not.
We're gonna need gas, right, yeah, we're gonna make it down
there on a on one tank. Is this thing going to cost us four
hundreds gas? It's incredible, here's a large vehicle. I want to extend
this out there to you guys. Please, if you find yourselves in the
situation where a play needs to be made, roller Town is a brewer we're
investing in and we're standing by ready to invest in this adventure. So if
you guys need anything, you need to get bailed out, or decide you
want to supersize a battle, whatever it may be. There's a cow on
the field. Maybe he is now of sleep with the broadcaster point out that
the cow has an erection sleeping cow. Noa's awake again. Here he goes
looking good. Sleep with the direction. How about Rollertown, Uh buys us
a couple of rounds of beer at the baseball game? Done telling you another
beer? I mean we don't, you know, we don't. Of course
we support all good beer. Yeah yeah, even even that car buck,
that Houston carbuck. I want to Houston. I'm drinking nothing but scissor all
weekend. Yeah. We want the downbeat to want for nothing during this Thank
you? Oh do you want to thank Rollertown for their support of this mission?
The fabulous disaster of which we were about to embark any I mean that
is the definition of Texas Rangers baseball, all of fifty years of it.
They're are the fabulous disaster of baseball. They really are. I can't be
Houston. I though it's still Niching planning for this only to not burn any
time. So I'm out of here right with show ends, I'm going to
prosper I'm going to prosper forward. I'm taking the tollway the whole way and
pick up our vehicle, which I'm kind of excited to see and get in.
I am zipping home. You guys meet me at my house, which
I think is the nearest triangulated point for us to head south from at noon.
Yeah, and then off we go, off we go. What if
you prank prosper forward You never take your sunglasses off, and all you do
is complain about the car. The car a one until I get Edwin's personal
vehicle. Tell each one, I'm playing a lot. Just tell them each
one of our own brand new Mustang, each of us around each other any
longer. He was like, let me call Edwin again. Let me just
give you guys a free, beautiful, brand new You guys need three Mustangs.
They only said one pharmacy here which it's a race. Oh my god,
the F one race was yesterday. Oh that's time about for a F
one report. We have seven seconds. Congratulations Logan sergeant, to be the
first American score point in F one race in thirty years. He finished tenth,
earned one point. Good job, William's, good job, Logan Sergeant.
We're hitting the E F and road boys, it is time for the
fabulous disaster as the downbeat with very minimal planning, heads down I forty five.
We're going to Game seven tonight and we're broadcasting our show tomorrow at six
am live from Houston, Texas. We'll be checking in with the Ben and
Skin show, if they so choose, we'll be doing it with the speakeasy
as well. And what did I say our show was for you today?
He said open sesame and he said it's a milking table. Yeah, pretty
much, because Skin's not here. It's a milking table that we're here to
have you guys milk. Absolutely, we're gonna staying on top of the molting
table. He medical diarrhea. Surface went big on the Astros. He's a
big Astros guy, and he was devastated by last night's loss and he called
in Si called in with sadness. That's what he's missing. He talks so
much trash about old Bombie hit that Grand Slam. He was devastating. Right
for years he's been saying that Alto was wronged. Yeah, yeah, never
understood why he was doing it. They're both five six. All right,
