This is a downbeat on ninety seven one the freak all right, thirty minutes
away from the downbeat singing pot of Gold. You might have heard our singing
boxes of Chocolate. You might have heard our singing porch pumpkin. You might
have heard our singing Christmas Street opper. Is that it so far? Yeah?
So this is this is probably gonna be our last singing product. Yeah
until we start singing the the plus sides. In the bank account of this,
we have hedged a lot of money. We've lost a lot of money
on these items and the effort put into them. I feel like may have
lowered two at least not for me. On this end of the table is
my favorite thing to do. I do love it in the world. Rory
McElroy on the first te the greatest driver of the golf ball in the world
and three two not just driver on bag, don't be such a peak golf
shot. Golf shot. That's a nice golf shot. That's a nice golf
shot. He loves it and playing with our local legend, Jordan Speed.
I was listening to a golf podcast the other day, who golf Pod?
But a guy was like, it's like it was like, I don't know
if Jordan Speat's ever gonna win a players Championship. I mean, he's really
only got six or seven more realistic chances of doing it. And it made
me realize that Jordan Sweet's not a young gun anymore. He still is.
Oh day, okay, So all right, do play by play for Jordan's
first Jordan walks up. He's wearing one white pants. Could be really bad
if he has any diarrhelator. He's going with the three wood, probably what
they'd be saying if we have the volume up. He's in the hooded blue
under armor. He likes it. I like the hooded golf stuff. I
think it kind of cool. Look, lady, it is nestled between her
milk. Cleavid, He's gonna have to hit the ball, play it as
it lies, play it as it lies. Giorgio. I thought he liked
it because he didn't do his normal move of snapping at his caddy, yelling
at poor Michael Greller. Oh they are off. Our heroes are on the
course at Sawgrad. There's Xander. The golf first responders are out there.
Putt missed, miss putt. Oh, these songs are gonna suck. No
they're gonna be great. They're gonna be great, and they come up,
you know what. I'm thinking about it, and it makes it a little
bit of effort, But I think I can. I'm streaming. I don't
care. I'm just gonna hear a singing at a cappella. Kevin, you
gotta hear the music. I hate that. There's not the worst in Kami
Kazi karaoke when he's got his phone in my face and I'm in here singing
Metallica and all you hear is my voice music. Yes you do. I
never posted we don't need diamonds, post Dave's isolated vocals. You post everything.
I never post anything. We need the whole package. I never posted.
And then I get the email that we didn't have enough interaction, interaction
and engagement. Well, and I have to answer to that. Why am
I the social media guy at the station? Because you're under your young buck?
I do enough, you're the young buck. We don't know how to
do that. I don't either. Look, they're about to band TikTok anyway,
so just yeah, I'm not doing crap for TikTok anymore except for my
own account. It's getting banned that's a waste, that's waste management. Ohkid,
Okay, here's the scuttle button the news you need to know today for
now, because Danny has mornings in an hour because he will and he does
and I do and I do. Hey, it's pretend Jerry he's back today.
Oh, just an hour earlier than usual, like literally an hour early.
Set the corner of Preston and Campbell. It's been North Dallas. There's
this is it? Small building? Should I make you work for? No?
No, no, no, no. I've been waiting all morning for
this. It was a great tease, legit. I am intrigued by this.
At the corner of Preston and Campbell in North aust is a small building
that once housed the Bahama Bucks. Okay, and it's been given a dark
blue coat of paint, and it's been marked with some signage, but nothing
that's detailing it what it is now. The signage is neon yellow. Okay,
Well gave it away dark blue and neon yellow. Yeah, I mean
you could see that with with the tarp covering it. Then you should have
known what it is immediately. We've talked about this for a number of times.
Ikea, no, not Ikea, that McDonald's thing, McCafe or whatever
it's called. Yeah, yeah, it's got to be what it is,
right it is. So the tart blew off and revealed the logo and everybody's
like, oh, cosmics, Yeah, cosmics, that's what it is talked
about that you guys. No, I've done it. I've done the cosmic
story. When they first came up with the idea and we're doing uh test
spots around the country. Yeah, and how everybody's kind of like cool and
then everyone forgot about it. Coffee great, but they had to get that
anywhere else. We finally have coffee here here in Texas. Coffee. Look,
the beverage it's not just coffee though. The beverage world is really amping
up. Do you know what's going on in the beverage world. I do,
And it's really amping up. That is. They are all kinds of
places, like there's a place called Fizz, I think, which is a
soda place. Beverages are hot right now, They're hot right now. Boba,
as Mike told us in the food court three months ago, Aba brought
us samples delicious. Yeah, brought you boba, and I think Mike you
got me boba. You brought me boba. I think the people who are
enamored with drive through beverage places are okay, younger millennials and then older gen
z. I think those are the people who are in it more. Is
this all it's all caffeine based, right, Yeah, it's all about energy.
The only reason you get our daily beverage, right is to caffe and
eight one. So people get tired. Man, Well, yeah, I
know it's because of that forty hour work week, Kevin, No, we
get that another thirty two. We would have to spend all of our money
on coffee. I make coffee, oh what at home? But in your
snake garden you grow cocoa beans. Take it easy, one, Veldez picking
beans out of your backyard for instance, though I am, there's a Dutch
Bros Right by my house and that place is blown up. Okay you've seen
dust rows before, ye for sure. But if I haven't made my coffee
for the week, like coldbers, don't really like hot hot coffee, but
like colbers cool. But I would go there, and if I was getting
a drink from there every day, it would be thirty to thirty five dollars
a week. Now, I make my coffee. I buy a thirty five
dollars bag or less from our buddy Java John, and then brew that and
we're good to go. And I probably spend a dollar a day or less
at that. I mean, I don't know how many cups of coffee get
out of that bag compared to the seven dollars drink, but convenience of driving
through. When's the day again, and that's why we have a Cosmics coming.
So basically McDonald's reps haven't been responding to comments about where these are gonna
be when they were gonna open, and they thought their best line of defense
was tarp. Yeah, the tart blows because we've had some heavy winds.
Someone sees it, reports the Dallas Morning News. Oh, I saw the
Cosmics logo on the side of the building, and there we go. So
this is McDonald's coffee only and other beverages they're they're getting. It's it's drink
based, but they're also going to have juices and breakfast ease snacks and hash
browns and crap like that. I got it for you. Two dozen coffee
drinks, tea and fruit based drinks. Yep, like the Chuto Frape,
the Chuo Frape, the s'mores cold brew, and Barry Hibiscus suraide. Drinks
can be customized with Bubba Energy shots and syrups of course, of course,
just to continue feeding this country's ridiculous sugar and caffeine addiction. Yeah, which
victim of of course, we're fatties. What's it called cosmic coffee? Cosmic
cosmics? Based off the nineteen eighties Mick Yeah McDonald's the guy by the mascot
from the eighties that no one remembers, no, no one does it all.
They would have been better off branding this is Grimace's house. Yeah,
yeah, are the Grimace grinds, Grimace grinding fresh grinding, I don't know,
Grimace grinds. I like that, Grimace's Grimace grinds, Grimace grinds.
And then the employees have to dress up like Grimace's fine, yeah, I
mean marketing. Kids love it. Then you get kids hooked on coffee,
kid coffee, kid coffee. They've already done that at Starbucks with those damn
frappuccinos. I'm talking little kids. I am too. Malcolm's eight dude,
Well, okay, maybe not that young. I've seen kids as young as
five or six in there with mom and dad and ordering those big freaking frappuccinos
for little kids. Ectro whipped little pigs and eight hundred calories per serving.
Piggy little piggies. My coffee, ma'am, heavy kick and screaming guccy,
little piggy. That's all we are, grimms, grindhouse, grindhouse. Yeah,
yeah, now we're talking so there, cosmic and yeah, okay,
And there'll be foodstuffs. They will be food stuffs. There will have some
uh like, is it is it branded? To know? Like, well,
I feel like I'm at a McDonald something in the McDonald's family, just
less food though they're gonna like, you know, basic stuff egg McMuffin.
Maybe you want to MCFLURRYCF Okay, so it is. It's a button.
Other items bites as mentioned in the egg fights, as mentioned in the article,
a spicy Caso sandwich. And also so I have some new items as
well. Cosmics coming to a metroplex near you, especially Dallas. I hear
Alan and fort Worth is next. Wow neat do we know what their sizing
chart is? Small, medium, and large? That's not okay Okay,
well done, kids, Yeah, big kids, and then nugget and then
spastic. The largest size is spastic. Just give this to your kid.
There is always that anticipation of the the reveal when you see on your like
major intersections you live near, you see either building something and it will have
the big whatever the city zoning sign out front. And I live on off
of Jim Miller and thirty, which is a fast food oh asis. There's
so much stuff there. And there was this building that they were had been
working on for months right on the corner, right next to the Jack in
the Box, which was right next to McDonald's, which is right across the
street from a den. I mean, it's everything over there. And to
my disappointment when they finally put the sign up, it was a freaking checks
cashing place. Why And I guess it does make sense, you know,
you get your check cashed and then you go eat a bunch of fast food.
Dude, and walking distance right on my corner in Bishop Arts, right
across from a three to zero three grill. Yeah, when I moved in,
it was a seafood like. It wasn't all shocks, but it was
that style baskets and Fresh Oysters, New Orleans themed. It was I don't
remember what it was called. It was great. I went there for a
couple of times in the first couple months I lived there, and it shut
down right closes, and then it just close and then construction begins and they're
redoing it. I'm like, okay, what do we got? This is
the closest restaurant to my home. I mean it is Pitching Wedge, not
even gap Wedge. And then finally it's it comes in it here we go.
I'm like, another seafood place. We already got the stuff in there.
And there's a big sign that goes up and says bank. And I'm
like, you're opening a bank in twenty twenty three bank and never seen a
soul in the parking lot or in the bank. Bank. Bank could have
been of Arby's, Yes, one that you're allowed to go into. I
don't appreciate bringing that up. Has that ban been lifted yet? After you're
the allegations one thing that we don't talk about on the air anymore, okay,
And you just violated my trust and our agreement. It was your agreement.
And no, there's not any Arvy's allowed there because Bishbars doesn't allow franchises
of any kind. It's all small business, yes, which is actually cool.
That is very cool. But yes, when stuff pops up around your
house, it's always fun and interesting until you're ultimately disappointed. Christina just got
a jolly Bee that opened up on Greenville right across one could jolly Be.
You know what jolly Be is? Of course I do. Okay, I
don't never been, but I know what it is. Is it Korean chicken
believe it's chicken based. Yeah, but they do specialize in the spaghetti with
cut up hot dogs on it. Oh they do. Yeah, that's they're
weird food that Oh Filipino Multinational. Yes, yeah, they got some stuff
on there that looks weird. But they got some nice looking burgers. But
I think it's mostly fried chicken chicken joy meals. But then yin can jolly
Spaghetti Polla bach Fiesta. But they also have chicken sandwiches which look nice.
Burgers look pretty good. They have burger steaks a normal order. You can
get a burger steak with like a mushroom sauce on it and a side of
rice and a fast food joint. Yeah, burger steaks. Yeah. Man
what's that going to set you back that thousand? Yeah? I think it's
a thousand dollars for that? Was it five guys that was getting raked over
the coals because dude ordered a double bacon chebe, some fries, and a
drink and it was like twenty five bucks. Yeah, five guys, which
is nicer that we ordered that same thing at McDonald's and it's eighteen bucks.
Everything's expensive. Talking to Christine about this, like, what do we have
room for fast food wise that we don't have? Like it's so normal,
drive through, get a burger, eat it right, drive through, taco
eat it. Did we do this on the air? No? Okay?
And I got to thinking that I think there's room for essentially kind of a
smallish like a steak and cheese sandwich, like something that a national chain that
doesn't really exist that I think we could handle is drive through like steak and
cheese sandwich three inch, yeah, a little bit bigger than that. Maybe
a big burger there'd be a little longer, you know, Yeah, but
just a nice wrapped hot steak and cheese sandwich and whatever kind of cheese you
want, or mushrooms or peppers, whatever you want. I feel like we
have room for that. Well, you don't. Else we have room for.
I thought that was what because we used to have it and it's pretty
much evaporated. Is the drive through personal pizza? Remember when drive through Pizza
Hut, Taco Bell, Yeah, I do. I never that's ballpark pizza.
You know, you get the little individual pan pizza. I don't know.
I don't. If you want pizza and you're on the road, yeah,
get yourself a little chunk of pizza. With that having to wait,
it's fairly easy to eat while driving. That's my main concern is can I
scarf this down while I'm operating at a three thousand pound motor vehicles taking chea?
You could if if proper bread, proper breading, you know, that
does maintain its consistency. Pizza is tricky, But I think we have room
for that. You know. What we don't have room for is anything drive
through fast foodish that that has a focus on any kind of health whatsoever.
No, No, we'll go all the places that's like that ends up shutdering
their doors man everything too. Like the healthy places though, you go through
and try to get something healthy and you're like, this doesn't tastes that great.
You know what. Cava is the one that I've been leaning on a
little bit lately. That's fast, casual though casual. Yeah, it's different
like the Salad and Go places Salad and goes bomb. I love that place.
I've been once. There was a joint over there on kind of by
where Christina lives on north of mocking Bird, off of Greenville. I don't
remember the name of it. When I lived over in that area for like
ten fifteen years. It was a Puerto Rican I believe it was Puerto Rican
based, I believe, or kind of an islandy thing. Yes, that
place is incredible and I went there probably three times a week because they had
great, great grilled chicken and the sides were like black beans and rice shredded
pork, yes, and it was really healthy. And they had like a
pineapple clayze sauce. Yes, not so healthy but delicious. Yeah. That's
actually a pretty interesting story because poeotropic call uh uh invaded the METROPLEXA and the
decade ago, and there was like I don't know, three, five seven
of them. Yeah, that was a big plan and I think I don't
know if they're all gone, But they they came in hot, they tried
hard, and it just did not play. You know what Another thing was
great about it, it's it sucked for their business, but there's never anybody
in there. Yeah, because it was good for you. And maybe a
couple of bucks more expensive, but yeah, sure I'll pay the extra two
dollars for sure. Something to eat that's not dripping with bacon and cheese and
grease, even though on occasion I want that too. Okay, we're gonna
go ahead them cosmics. We're gonna have we have a thirty second collar.
Okay, we got a collar wants to wayne real quick. We're getting thirty
seconds, so we got to be quick here. Good collar. And what
y'all know that Solid and Go place has the best breakfast burritos that I've been
able to afford the DFW. What place Salad and Go? Yeah, really
I need to check that outcause I went once the one on Ross Avenue probably
five years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Their wraps are great, man,
Their Mediterranean wraps all over their all their wraps are really good. Let's get
back in there. Thank you for your call, man, rock On Dude,

hop sized hail. That's a weird one. You get that a lot.
Hippity hop a new term from meteorology dance. Kevin doesn't remember the hippity hop.
I do, no should I. Hippity hop was a giant inflatable ball
that had handles on it that you'd sit on it and just yeah, he
that fun. No wear you out? Yeah, it was more work than
they made it look like on TV. Yeah yeah, yeah, and you
didn't get the ups yeah all right, and you overinflated it explodes. Yeah,
you just flop around in the plastic sad knocks over your dad's scotch,
and then you get a beaten damn it. I hate you hippity hop.
