Good Friday Morning. The final episodes of The Downbeat in March. It is
Mark twenty nine. I'm Cavatarnie, Dave Ellis, Mike's a Roy and Jay
Jackson came in with all kinds of attires might help us make the perfect TikTok.
We'll find out he's wearing the bandadda way differently. What are you doing
that is not right? Uh? It's Cowboy Carter Day, Beyonce's new album
dropped. H it's not Tupot Tuesday and I giving Cowboy you're giving? Oh
yeah, suppose it. Ranger's gotta be look like Tupac. Yeah, you
do a little bit. You'll like a carbon copy of it, a little
bit of a lighter version of that's supposed to me. Yeah, here's vanilla
Tupac cream talk I got. We'll get there. Man. You look like
you're wearing something that Michael Scott would at a racial sensitivity dude eating in the
office, I somehow stumbled upon. Do you all remember when they did the
Asian Office on Saturday Night Live? Yeah, it's so offensive from eighteen years
ago or whatever, and like they get into that today they would get reamed.
Reamed, dude, we have the King of Country Music Quiz where you'll
have an opportunity to win Creed tickets at nine because again Cowboy Carter dropped.
Why did it drop? Midnight? Eleven midnight? I'm eleven pm last night,
midnight, Oh Central, it got it dropped in other countries yesterday.
So there was a lot of yeah it very much. Yeah, all new
music. If you have an artists who really care about you can go get
it on Australia time, you know, ten to twelve hours before if you
want to take those internet risks. But it hit eleven pm Central like old
new drops do on Friday, and well maye run through some of it at
six point thirty. Okay, give you a if that is the most important
thing in the world. I think it is. Did you see what I
had found trending? Or no? What I was talking about? No hands
ass only? What's the what was trending this morning? That's Beyonce related.
She had something sexy, one of these your hands ass only, it's your
hands at no hands here it is It says, no hands, I haven't
gotten there yet. Bounce on that s no hands, Oh my god,
I have gotten there. That's how she rolls, dude, you haven't got
there yet. Lower in the song or lower in the album. Y know,
it's trending like crazy. Guys, get up. Oh you're talking about
the song river Dance. Why don't you guys get caught up on the new
stuff. We will six thirty strut in front of a microphone. We're gonna
give you a little preeve at six thirty. All right, a prieve,
just a few little bounce, a collab here, a collab there, a
clean version of this, and then we won't podcast it. But I really
go ahead, No, I was saying before you got here, Kevin was,
you know, going through some of the audio and giving a little preview
listen to see what he wanted to play. And there was one moment where
something happened where I had big eye roll, eye roll. And it had
nothing to do with Beyonce. Oh okay, yeah, had everything to do
with me. No, it had nothing to do with you. Oh,
but just something that was playing out of your your MacBook speakers just made me
go really, really was Whiskey just shooting out of his MacBook speakers. I
just don't understand why we have to force collaborations. Oh, Colabor's bad ass
on her own. She doesn't need any help. I'm just saying, by
ten am, yeah, man, JJ to come in here and beat Danny's
ass. I don't think she'd beat my ass over this. I think she
might even agree with him if there's any Today's not the day, Yeah,
dude, not today for Baybay Slander. She's got Beyonce, Cowboy Carter,
cupcakes's sitting right there, and you're gonna y's on the way. What cookies?
You're gonna like take a net loss for working this week? She really
are? I told I woke up and say I'm gonna be extra today.
I love it. I can tell you're happy. I can tell you by
their tiny gold hat you have on your head in the bandana Cowboy Carter,
Huh. One of my my favorite days. I still look forward to.
It is one one of my favorite artists is dropping an album and you've been
anticipating and anticipating, and if you're like me, you illegally downloaded it six
weeks ago and then it dropped, and then you're just a little let down.
Yeah, but it's still a beautiful day. Boy. That was the
way of the napster world. I never did the Napster were you? Did
you try? Or yeah you had? You were too young for that now
Morpheus Khazah LimeWire and then Napster was first. But how old were you because
that was only ninety nine, two thousand and two thousand and one, right,
I would say the age is eleven to eighteen. It was illegally using
you torrent, going on demonoids like Pirate Bay. No matter what happened,
you know what, No matter what, a band would announce a release date,
some engineer or producer or somebody would leak it and it would be available
on you know, one of those yeah all sharing sites, and you would
download it and sometimes it would take like an hour to get one song,
and you'd set that thing to go in the morning and come back home and
you'd have a full album ready to go. And that's the thing. It
kind of sucked because you have this really bad quality version of it. You'd
burn it to a CD and you'd listen to it, and then the album
actually drops and you're like, oh cool, Yeah, everybody's writing about it,
and you already yeah, you're kind of already worn it out listening to
a really subpar version of it. Did you actually have nap Napster what were
they the trendsetter on all that. Yeah, then you had the copycats.
The Napster just got so corrupted with false files that you would say, oh,
the new Oasis is out and you downloaded and it wouldn't even be that
it'd be some virus or something. But I think it was LimeWire that was
the one that I probably ended up using. Mostly. I used Morpheus first.
Then it would the Morpho's never got too big, kazah. And then
once I learned the world of Torrance and VPN, which was a college staple
because they would shut you down at the U n T. They're a firewall,
came get you. But Demonoid account just ripping out all kinds of I
mean, TV shows, movies. The running joke for years was the Invictus
situation. Yeah, at our previous you know, someone had allegedly downloaded the
movie Invictus, and that is a funny that that's the movie that was downloaded.
But I was sitting there going, I hope I don't get caught with
one of these, because I absolutely statue of I'm touching up right, I
don't know, absolutely illegally downloaded millions of terabytes inside the halls of my employer.
Yeah, but you now continue to do so it's a perk. You
weren't downloading full two hour and thirty minutes porn films. You were downloading little,
yeah, little little songs. What TC did was downloaded a feature film
that was illegal to even be out there to begin with, and he like
sucked up the entire company's bandwidth for like a day and a half. So
yeah, of course it got blag. It's genius. Then we had an
email basically right, Yes, they're paying him in popcorn. Yeah, they
get that movie on their Wi Fi. If there's anything we can do,
we can use up the company WiFi. Absolutely, it's a perk. It
is one of the benefits. Let's have a review in Victors. Seriously,
is it a soccer movie? It is a soccer movie. Rug was soccer.
I don't know. It may be not African rugby team maybe right,
yeah, I don't know. My memory is not sharp on that. It
was one of those weird football sports. Yeah, one of those weird football
spots. I am told that at eight o'clock we had some whisteners that were
out. The game was night and sent some audio to us or something.
We heard some something about Chuck Morgan and the announcements at the ball We have
some audio. There was a couple of people that were out there and you
know, you have your phones out, you're always rolling. And I collected
a few of these submissions, if you will and listen to a few of
them, and there's some there's some changes I feel that have that have gone
on in the Rangers in game presentation. And I think people are going to
ears are going to perk up today when we play some of these. I
heard they did not play the Cotton Eye Joe last night, which makes me
wonder, is that whoa now gone away because of because it's a bad song.
It's I'm fine with it. As we discussed, you know, we
did a deep dive on the Totten Eye Joe lyrics. Apparently it didn't play
last night as normally would after after God Bless America and take me out to
the ball game, is that what they play it? They still played Natural
after home runs, right, and they're like yes, after the Janko bomb
Ski, yeah, the Natural keep that coming, and then they play uh,
I like Texas, that's their winning song. Pack Greens. I like
Texas, that's all right. Think I might have learned that yesterday as I
spent three FN hours reading about country music to make this quiz for you guys.
Yeah, it's almost done, and I just said, I'm so pissed.
I'm so I was so sick of it because I don't know if these
are hard. I don't know if an easy quizz or hard. This is
what makes this fun. I think it's easy. I'm glad you did it
because I found some quizzes words and I knew all the It's like the uh,
the best little blank house in Texas, you know, like or the
way down yonder by the blank. And I'm like, if I know this
crap, it's not worthy. You know Chattahoochie, right, if you've ever
karaoke Chattahoochie, then you should know it. I haven't have. I know
what did you uh huh in here? No? I did that at the
Fireplace lounge one night. No? Really, what did you use a voice?
Huh? Did you use a voice? I mean I just did dumb
country guy wa way down under on the Chada Hoochie something something, So I
need lyrics and it's good instantly when he does it? Well? What wait
you down yonder? That was great? What is a hocci cucci? Morning
Voice? I can, I can, Danny? What is a hooci coucci?
I don't know. Hocie COOCHI that's what that's what it gets Hotter than
yeah, hotter than a houccie coucci. I know what a houcie cocci is?
What? Well, you know what a hucie is? Right, I
don't know. Over there. Definitely, hoochie is a whole, and a
couchie is hoochie coucci. That's what Alan Jackson was saying. And then he
wrote a nine to eleven song. Both things can be true. It's the
duplicity of man Kevin. I guess I guess what times? The thing?
Nine o'clock? Uh, the King of Country Music Quiz at nine? Yeah,
four, and we have chance three to in Creed ticks, so weird,
let's doake Creed tickets at six' eight and then the winner of nine
so now yeah, it's six yeah, no, it's six twenty. What
do they have if anyone calls in before six twenty? Axim? Oh really
no, they're right out, okay six twenty yeah, six twenty on the
on the World clock when it hits six twenty boom, it's open and we'll
take toller four. Okay, and we're not evenna say it. Let's not
even say it again. I'm say it again. You have to have to
some patience. I'll give you the number one time, seven minutes before yes,
two one four or eight one seven seven eight seven one nine seven one
okay, seven minutes from now, agreed. Trusts me, he's not messing
around, because Kevin's been very adamant about not giving away these tickets this week.
Yeah, yeah, you've been kind of mean. I'm gonna say,
when it comes to these tickets, there's a there's a precedent that needs to
be their standards and practices, and I thought we set that, but we
basically just give them to anybody who wants. Well, I think that's the
personal We need a break, okay, because I think they're too They think
it's too they're on easy Street here, yeah, and guess what, no,
it's hard Street. And as the guy who has to enter in the
winter information, Hard Street is the guy who has to enter in the winter
information after the show, all right, when everyone else can just waltz out
of here and me. I have been trying to push it onto the promo
promotions department for about a month and a half and I got scolded yesterday apartment.
I'm in an email chain, department. I'm in an email chain because
what'd you do? Well, I'll always give it to one of the new
promo people since they busted up our office and I don't have a workspace up
here anymore like at the last straws. They also just got rid of our
office. Well, I mean, look, there's a it's a winding road,
but we'll get there. The website to end of the information in is
on my desktop office computer. Which does I tried to get on that website
on my laptop, I would never get the user name or password. Well,
and you're also not in the network, which those computers were. I'm
also a host and I've been told to stay in my lane. So I
am in an email chain yesterday, and I'm like, I think some of
the winners weren't getting I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened.
And I'm like, so I got to go back to entering in the
info. Let's just put it that way and there's gonna be an email sent
out about it, and I'm banging my head against the wall because I'm like
Jesus H. Christ and a chicken basket. I don't I just don't understand.
Well, it's not I'm sorry, I don't know why this doesn't need
to be aired out. No, No, it's our work, dirty laundry
that nobody cares about that. No, they don't want to take calls and
find out what some dude's issue is with his boss. I'm not even mad
at the construction site. I just if people want to told a bit about
your boss. And we got told it was a two week thing. I
don't know. It's week six. I want my stuff back. Well,
we were also supposed to have cameras in here a year and a half ago.
Let me tell you something. The construction that's going on in this building.
They're going to get that damn Maryland Bridge rebuilt before this gets fitshed.
They are have you guys once gone into the bathroom. And there has not
been a line full of construction workers for this every time, all of them.
Okay, if I was a construction worker, you know much time I
spent in the bathroom. They have no, I'm trying to rush to get
back from break. I thought this day, dude, I thought this yesterday,
was rushing back to try to beat a break. Right, m m
okay, whiz washhands quick. We have one sink that functions. And I
was behind two construction workers who were not in any hurry to get back out
on the floor and get this job done. Well drug, Still, it's
quite the opposite, right They want the job to take as long as possible.
Yeah, totally, because they're like, all right, we got this
figured out. There's a bathroom right there. We're good. The longer we
can make this work the better. The other thing I thought, because you
ever get on the roads right and you're behind somebody. They're going slow,
and you're like, what go? Everyone go? There are so many people,
thousands of vehicles. That's their only time of peace is when they're in
transit. All they want to do is drive slowly because if I get back
to the office, I'm gonna have this dude make sending me somewhere else or
making me do something, or I have to clock out. But no one
could really argue with if I'm in my car, hey, I got some
traffic, man, It just took a long time for me to get back.
We were corner cutters, so they're going real slow on purpose, just
like when I used to deliver pizzas and you drive right up in front of
the house. But Randy Galloway wasn't done making his salient Rangers Sports point.
I'm a little loop around the block. Let him finish his finish his thought
before the pizza delivery. You bet your ass. Why not after? Because
does I miss out? But the people get their hot pizza? Oh yeah,
we don't care to. I was eighteen five. You think I cared
about anything? Hi? Do you think I'm like, this family really needs
this pizza. They really need their hot pizza. No, I need to
hear what the lineup's gonna be for tonight because this thing is in flux right
now. Tell me Galloway in nineteen eighty seven eight Tom gonna make a trade
to save this thing. Galloway's going ham Okay, he's got hard on Parole.
Okay, okay, he went hard on Perot and George W. Bush
Open lines, open fire. No, it was it free sports tall that's
right, and he was steel all this. We should open lines, open
fire and went free free sports talk. What he say he was the best.
Yeah, he was really really good. He got it fair and biased.
Okay. He had two jobs, did the radio show, but also
he had a hot column in the Telegram every day and it was always spicy.
And this was years before the ticket, like five six, seven years.
I was listening to Galloway and the press box at Rangers games. He
would just chew on a cigar, just have it his mouth. He's old
school man's crazy, old school awesome. Someone says COOCHI is a dance Oh
yeah, definition were playing hooker beave right right right, you guys know me,
guys, I saw a big time celebrity out and out last night.
I had Tom Kim two days ago, and you had a celebrity yesterday.
Oh, hang on, before you get celebrity today. We're gond Are you
aware of what he did last night? Ke Kevo had drinks? Well,
you went to a nice dinner, didn't you your first? Your first nice
meal? And how was Applebee's. It's not Applebee's. It was not close
to Applebee's. To Nick and Sam's for for charity? How for charity?
If he was he was actually the charity going to the restaurant that money.
I don't know how it works. So every year me and Ben and Skin
and Travis Frederick do a charity dinner. Travis will be on with the Ben
and Skin show at the water Burger in the Colony today all day he's doing
a four hour He was doing prep last night at the table. Now the
charity winner though, got the dates mixed up and didn't show up Jack pot.
So Travis like, I'll fly back down whenever else what he did,
He's awesome dude, growing his hair out. He's beautiful. It looks like
a cave man. Looked like he escaped a Turkish prison. Have to fly
back down because some other guy screwed his schedule up. So well, it
was it was all uh, it was all very Uh. You could see
how it could have happened. Uh, and it was all cool. No,
it's not a big deal. Huh. Well, the guy that just
got his dates mixed up was a busy fella who had to work at the
game last night. So but you had drinks, that's the most uh,
I guess I'll say it. It was Brandon Hurtado was the one who bid
the most at the charity action for him and three others. But he had
they you know, he's had working the game. I was not busy,
and the dates moved a couple of times, you know, for Travis's flight
plans and things. But in the private room, it was not us.
In the private room was one Dirkin of its. Wait, I thought Travis
Fredericks was a celebrity. Yeah, that wasn't even the that's not getting the
private room. When Travis Fredricks in there one time at Massume, they're like,
sorry, Kevin, you're not getting your private room. DeMarco Murray and
Miles Austin are in there negotiating a deal to go to the Eagles. You
have to sit out with the peasants tonight. And I said fine for DeMarco
and Miles. Fine. So as they walk out, we see it all
happen, right, and we were discussing placing bets. Of course, he's
a back door, side door exit guy here, right, And it was
a big family thing, you know, I don't know who it was four
wards for. But then the door's open and I'm like, oh, no,

good person. It's like, God, I've retired, shut up of like
twenty five to twenty eight year old kids whatever, maybe younger. And then
they start going, oh no, restaurant. Yeah, and the whole place
starts applodding. Okay, he just kind of No one stopped and asked for
a picture. No one asked for an autograph. He just waved. It
was actually like, I was very nervous that I don't like the bothering people.
No, no, no, I was real nervous about it. And
then I saw how everyone and I was like, you know what, that
was all handled very nice. I loved that. Thirteen years after the fact

a piece of food. No, you're right, Danny did blow that thing.
Really the guy that loves magic. Yeah, but you didn't. I
made a banana appear out of thin air. Ding dong. It didn't work.
The trick worked, it didn't. I'm sorry that our fans, we're
soutified. Our thirty seven TikTok followers don't like magic, and you should be
offended personally because of that. Every like magic, you idiot. I'm looking

fifty views. Yeah right, Look, I'm sorry that you know, our
radio head sensibilities don't appeal to your Taylor Swift tastes, okay, but making
a banana appear out of mid air is badass. It's not my fault.
