You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven one three. I got Game three
in my head now. I just screamed Game three walking down the carpeted halls
of iHeartMedia, Dallas. Are you sure Game three? You know? Okayre?
Whoever created that song it was a CDC bro. Couldn't you tell they
didn't just use a karaoke track of themselves. They played all the instruments.
Whoever made that song ac DC, it should be appreciated the popular ASC rock
band ACDC. Yeah, this is the first moment of my existence that I've
heard that ac DC is from Australia. Yeah? Am I just Bond Scott
my an idiot? Yeah? I guess I believe that new lead singer as
of nineteen Brian Johnson is a Whales guys, He's English. I know that.
I think the Cats are an Australian band. I would I've never heard
that work men at work? I had pegged and yeah and Daniel Ricardo?
When are we going to break down the Mexican Grand Prix for stapping win again
Max for stapping one? Do we need any more of a breakdown? Every
week? We can move on's every week every week seriously. Every week he
won by a dozen plus seconds. It was not close, but it was
fun because okay, ten seconds. Sergio Perez is ver Sappin's partner with Red
Bull. He's got a fast car, but he's not performing well this year.
But he's Mexican. So when they go to this Mexican Grand Prix,
the crowd is banana for Sergio Perez, like night, screaming Checko. It's
really a cool scene Mexican flags. It's a very unique vibe, all for
Sergio Perez, all for Checko, and they kind of hate for Stapping because
that's his teammate. And Stappen doesn't let Checko do anything good. He wouldn't
let him have a win, even if he could steal one. And the
very Checko started I think in sixth position, he had a great start.
He's flying through the field. They get to the first corner and Checko collides
with Charleclaire and spins out of the race and he's done, and the whole
the crowd is just like for a week, screaming Checko and he's done in
the first corner. The first corner corner, I mean that's the first turn
of any of one race is the most dangerous one and you're probably gonna lose
somebody, but yeah, the deflated crowd and then you just have to watch
for Stappin, who they don't really like, just run away with the thing.
Again. It was a good theater. And this has been Franklin Frankel's
review of the Mexican Grand Prix. Yes, thank you, f and Frankel
sins for f one this you get two. Yeah, you get too,
abkitt. This segment's brought to you by Alamo Draft House Cinema. The Alamo
has connected to Mexico as well. Yes, m hm, so that review
was brought to you by Alamo Draft House. Mexico won the Alamo. People
tend to forget that. Yeah, yeah, Mexico kicked our Alamo ass been
saying in eighteen thirty six. We will take a caller if you want tickets
to the us LBM Coast to Coast Challenge. Now that you might say that
sounds like a bunch of letters, Kevin, but I can tell you that
this is actually quality. This is Saturday, December sixteenth. It's at Dickey's
Arena, and there are three college basketball games happening in one day and one
involving TCU, one involving Texas Tech, and one involving UTA ARLINGTONY. So
three games in a row TCU, Arizona State, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt,
UT Arlington, and air Force. And we're gonna give you away a pair
of tickets to that right now. Or we could to have someone call in
a little, say, hype for Rangers. If your hype for Rangers can
We'll give you college basketball tickets if your hype so you can do that.
I'm gonna get you hype for Rangers first. Then you're gonna call in.
You can prove to JJ that you're ready. I found some audio last night
that involves our new favorite Ranger, Austin Hedges. Let's be real clear about
what happened the other night in Game one before we play this amazing audio of
this funny guy, JNA. Him got hurt earlier in the year, and
they thought for a second, here, this is a wrist injury. He's
not gonna be able to swing a bat. He may have to have surgery.
Season over. Second opinion said, rehabit. And if you can start
swinging with your right hand right hand a little more, then maybe we don't
have to have surgery. We'll check your pain tolerance. He goes, let's
do that. So they push off the surgery, but just to be safe,
the Rangers trade nothing for Austin Hedges. Austin Hedges and known around the
league as a great locker room guy, solid defensive catcher, and a guy
who really didn't hit well, but a fun guy. So they have Hedges.
Well, Garver is your DH, so Garver's is what he is.
He can't catch for you, so Hedges is essentially your backup catcher. Jonahim
gets on base late in that game, or remember they're down five to three
and they decide to pinch run and they pinch run with Josh Smith, So
Josh Smith goes in for him, and then Rangers get out. Whatever happens,
Hedges has to go in and be your catcher, which is fine,
no problem with him catching. The problem is, if we go all the
way around the order one more time, Hedges has to hit, and I'll
be damned if they didn't intentially walk Mitch Garver to get the Austin Hedge is
in a key at bat during that game. I believe the bases were loaded.
Bro Am I wrong? Okay? I don't think we loaded. This
is where I need to pull up the play by play on this, because
I got it. There was definitely runners in scoring position. Yeah, I
thought the game one by play. I'm typing this in the person it was
first. I think it was first. Yeah, you're right, you're right,
you're right. The point is it was a key game, a key
part of the game, yep, because the secret homer. Then Carter struck
out swinging. Garcia hit by pitch. Garb intentionally walked. So first and
second and this is henches of the ninth, the bottom of the ninth,
bottom of the ninth. So we're watching this hit going and this is bat
going. Hedges could win the game for the Rangers. Holy crap, Hedges,
who had just been used mainly as dumb stir fire game relief pitcher.
Okay, and five relief pitch appearances. Is it bat? He looked like
a pitcher, That's all I could think of. First pitch, slider of
the outside corner. He's swinging and won, same pitch again, swinging,
and they said screw it. Well a third timeside three and he strikes out
and was like, okay, can't be upset because you're going dextra innings.
But also that was not a patient bat. Nope, he struck out.
That's exactly what I would have done if I quantum leaped into a baseball player's
body and found myself in the batter's box of the World Series, I would
have swung as hard as I could to three straight pitches. Yep, maybe
eyes hopefully open, probably closed and looked about the same. Look, you
only get three swings at that thing. I'm not going to take a strike.
No, I don't even know what you're doing what it looks like.
I'm just gonna swing, hopefully through the strike zone as hard as I can.
You at least have a chance of making contact, putting the ball in
play and maybe getting it towards somebody can't catch it. Now, what what
position in the order? Did he replay? Sixth time? Six? He
got you? Got you? Yes? What's funny? Yeah, I think
that I by the time my brain realized that Austin Hedges is coming up,
and oh my like of all of it, this dude could win the and
he's out. So Evan Carter flew out to end the to start the bottom
of the eleven, went out, and then they pitched to a Delis Delics
home run. After the game was a big poppy he it says after the
game, Big Poppy was like, I don't understand why they pitched to him,
Like they knew that Hedges was coming up the third, so it would
have been Adulis, then Garver and who knows. There's a great meme of
Hedges standing outside the dugout, and he's so short, he looks like a
kid. He looks like one of us. He's like a big savvy vett.
He's thirty five or whatever. He's kind of shaped like me, you
know. Yeah, and he got wrestler head. He's got wrestler head,
huge beard, beard, mullet, and he's and he looks like an inner
continental contender. He's got wrestler facial express. I love it. I love
everything about him except when he's on the field. He doesn't play. And
if you've watched any of the playoffs, you've seen him because the race it
cuts to him and the Rangers dugout all the time, right, And there's
a great meme going around. So when Nadoli hits the home run, and
it's just the shot of Hedges who has his helmet on and has a bat
in hand because he's in the whole, and he takes off running groove.
The meme is when you realize that you don't have to hit again, we're
excited about not having the trudge of the plate. Okay, so now let
me redirect you its. He doesn't like Little Groober. This is a podcast
that happened before the playoffs started with Actually this happened before the series started.
This the LCS in one of those days off with Chris Rose. I don't
really like Chris Rose too much, formerly the host of the best damn sports
show period, but I kind of come run around on him now too because
of this podcast that he did with Hedgy. First question here, you're gonna
hear something, and then I think you hear a fart. I think Hedgie
farts at the end of this. Do you know how much the Fox cameras
catch you? I get plenty of texts from people like what are you doing
so much on camera? Like, I mean, I'm I think there's something
wrong with me the way we stay in our clubhouse. You know, you
gotta be one of three things. Okay, you got to be either degenerate,
a psycho, or a sicico. And sometimes I think I'm all three
of them. Which one do you normally fall under? It's usually degenerate,
but psycho kind of go hand in hand. Yeah, I want to break
down a few of your little things. The first one we saw, that's
a cup on the table. No, it's not a little things. The
first one we saw me he's putting a cup down, Kevin, don't okay,
there's no there's no fart here. Now. Have y'all seen what happens
when Josh Young gets a base hit because the Rangers, and I think Nathaniel
said this in the Mom Game with Julie and Emily during at the beginning of
the season, like, hey, we're not right going to tell you what
all our signs, you know, signs are Sometimes a guy gets a base
hit and he slides it across the logo of the Rangers, or sometimes he
makes a hand signal to the dugout. It's just like clawin Antler's. Every
team does it when Josh Young gets a hit, the hand signal. Would
you' all describe the hand signal I'm doing? Yeah, looks like double honking
them double honkers. We've seen that a few times. Okay, so they
get on the podcast. There's a video component to it, and they get
in slow motion. They've got Austin Hedges and it looks like he's honking boobs
and Chris Rose asked him about that. That could be Paul under the degenerate
category, could it not. It's actually like that. I get that that
looks bad. It's actually his name's jungle Cat. So that's for that's for
Josh Young and so it's he's the Jungle Cat. So his thing when he
gets a hit is actually sure, I'm not even kidding on this. It's
dead ass. That's exactly what's happening. Okay, Okay, I'm calling bullshit
that is not jungle Cat. Okay, wow, I believe I'm a cumber
Cat. I believed it until he started laughing when he said no, no,
I swear well, he said, I'm being serious on this one.
So that's for that's for Josh Young and so it's he's the Jungle Cat.
So his thing when he gets a hit is actually sure, I'm not even
kidding on this, dead ass. That's exactly what's happening. Okay, Okay,
I'm calling bullshit that is not Jungle Cat. Dead ass, dead ass
Man, dead ass. Pretty funny. We've played the audio earlier, the
Corey Seeker home run from Game seven, where he said it was an eleven
run home run, the solo home run. This is Chris Rose trying to
set him up for what happens if the Rangers win and there is a parade.
I mean, you could be a great naked cowboy, just like the
dude in Times Square. You would be amazing. I'm not putting anything past
past it. If we went it all, Okay, here we go.
We're figuring out right now. If you guys win, assless chaps with a
cowboy hat in the celebration done. I'll wear it during the parade. And
if people ask you why, you're going to say because Rosie told me.
To hell, yes, that's not reason enough to for the Texas Rangers people.
I don't know what is now? Could you get it in trouble for
that? Could you get a ticket? I don't think so. I think
butts are fine. Assolest chaps in the parade or just chap chaps with no
pants underneath? What is that? Is it different? Okay, let's not
even one say that word again. You're right, I said it to penis.
Let's fine, say penis instead, No, don't say the other.
Where's the penis gonna be? It's not scheduled yet, understandably the penis.
Let's you know, let's make a different pew word party, post season party,
post season party. Where is the pussy cat gonna be? Oh yeah,
I've thought about it. It's gonna be in Arlington. Shut up.
That cat will be in Arlington. There's tons of cats in Arlington. There's
tons of cats because they don't have a python there to eat them all up
Catston. So, uh, but could you come? Is some cop gonna
come being on police in a situation like that, you're on You're on the
flat bed trailer going down Cooper Street. Some cop you're you're clear, a
halt, we need it, writes an indecency ticket and then starts trying to
wrap you up in a robe or a towel. Yeah, cover that.
No that Harry as nobody say the P word out there for shame? Do
we get a call? We haven'ty fired up? We have any fired up
ranger? Man, Jesus, where's the spirit in this town? They were
fired up? We just didn't really ask. I just know they'll start calling
after that two one four seven eight seven one if you don't mind being admonished
by Kevy, oh, please call in? Where are fired up? Rangers?
Does anyone care? It's game through the World Series? Were Rangers fans?
And they made a point to break that out on the broadcast the other
night. It's twelve years to the day of Nelson Cruz fumbling and falling down
and Rangers lose the World Series again and Bombie made a really nice running catch
and right field, well, they sure would have liked to have had that
in twenty eleven, Joe Davis fall off a shed, Yeah, fall off
a seven foot shed and bruise your knee, You nut? How much do
anybody check? Ticket prices? About a thousand? Are they what in Arizona?
