This is a down beat on ninety seven one freak. How you feeling,
uh pretty good? Yeah? Yeah, I feel fine. That's your energy
level strong. That's gonna say you do those low T spots. Yep.
He doesn't matter how stopped up you are or congested. That's because your T
just always seemed you seem brimming because I visit the Low T Center T.
Yeah, I visited Low T Center where most health insurance is accepted. We'll
stay tuned. I need to get more I need to get more tea.
I think you should go to one of the eleven communially located Low T centers
here in DFW. Yeah, twenty five bucks to get that number checked,
and then in less than twenty five minutes, you're gonna have your results.
You're gonna here. Can I leave with some tea? Not exactly, Danny,
they'll explain it. It will because it's cost your medicine. Just for
men at the late I recommend it. This is important information. Cash.
It is Uh. If you want to leave a talk back and hear your
voice on this radio station, we're gonna do it in like half an hour.
That'll be part of the nine to thirty segment we have a Danny song
never before heard, well, not here here, never before heard here.
There'll be playing at the top of that segment celebrity birthdays, including one,
and there's a woman who's having a birthday who has the most, I would
argue, the most impressive body count of celebrity men that I can think of.
Okay, she's old. Okay, it's shocking, and it's salute.
I mean, there's some hot beef notched on a herb bedpost. Hot beefers,
not beef, hot beefers, hot beef. Speaking of hot beef,
easy transition, we'd like to welcome in studio right now my only brother in
the whole world who's sitting exactly twelve feet directly across a nasty bitch, and
he has a nasty bitch. His name was Cash A Roy Friends. You
all him so in the song wildly popular search Desroy Show. You may know
him from Twitch or YouTube. If you follow the collectible network Big Break Tomorrow
Night. You may know him for the well creative I don't know. So
if a song hasn't been heard here, has it been heard? Yeah?
Yeah, oh for sure. Unfortunately the tree falls in the forest. Things
works in the negative way. Well, whatever bullying place, you can argue
that a song that has only been heard here hasn't really Unfortunately, I said
the joke wrong. How you guys doing so good? Hi cashy man.
Listen to machine watch the MAVs last night. It's a good time to be
alive. Feels like the good old days. Yeah, man, you fired
up about the MAVs. I am so geeked up. I was. I
was geeked up even after the loss, you know, I mean, listen,
we talked about it briefly and in the break they felt good about themselves.
You know, this is a good roster, this is the place,
a lot of good basketball, and uh, they feel pretty confident after halftime
of Game one that they played pretty damn well. The thing just got out
of got out of hand. They weren't ready in the first round of a
fight. They got punched in the mouth and a couple times in the gut
and whoe and they wobbled. Great, great, great second game, A
good battle. I think it kind of started the second half of the first
game, and they played a little better. They regulated their shooting a little
bit. They closed the gap at least at a couple of points. We
were watching it at Vegas casino because Danny and I have money on the MAVs
minus one. We also are locked in at seven to one for the Maps
to win the West sixteen to one for the Maps win the tratulations on all
that, thank you, but spend it now, Washington, Well, we
already lost our first bet. We lost our first bet, well outside of
that part. Yeah, but watching it at the casino before we were leaving
on our flight, and you and I were like, all right, they
caught it the thirteen. This is manageable, you know. But anyway,
they did play a little more like Maps of the second half of that game,
and despite defense dic eating how apparently the series is going to go certainly
the first two games. They sent a big old message yesterday dude, that
was nice. Dude, again, series don't start until you the road team
wins one. And that was the first road team so far in the Western
Conference to win a road game in the playoffs. I mean, we're early,
butfman Pacers did it in the East the week yesterday as well. But
yeah, anyway, good times. Don't have you into talk MAVs today.
I want to have you in to sort of review the weekend that we had
my brother and I, Christina, his wife Mary, a bunch of other
assorted friends over America. Let's go down that roster. It goes deep.
Converged on Las Vegas, Nevada as the band fish, a lot of nervous
dudes going through checkpoints. I'm sure. Can you imagine the checkpoint at the
sphere and we have some friends. Yeah, that didn't make it a first
A purse turned upside down and things confiscated. Really, oh yeah, And
the argument it wasn't us, It wasn't known in our traveling party with some
friends of ours. And the argument against that is, like, dude,
what do you do? Like, look around, what are you doing?
This is fish in a barrel. You could pick anyone and pat them down,
and sure you'll find something a little questionable. The ref could call holding
on everything, yeah, exactly in every single play, some of them blatant
holding. Yeah, and there was just yeah, cooler heads prevailed. And
the two options are kick you out and call the authorities, or let's just
agree to throw this away and you can go on into the show. Yeah,
look for guns, look for explosives. That's what you're here to do,
all right, you chill out. We're talking about Fish at the Sphere.
They are the second band ever to perform at this incredible facility in Las
Vegas. You two, obviously you're doing a forty show run that Cash went
to as well. But this was my first tiptoe into this massive concert events
space right behind the Venetian Resort and casino. And uh, man, I
don't know where you want to start. I want to start, yeah,
please, Okay, So a couple of questions so we can kind of establish
some physical context of this thing. Is it a standalone thing or is it
connected to a hotel casino? It's connected to the Venetian by a like a
tunnel, a tunnel, a skywalk yep. But you most people that enter
the Sphere, I think, do so by going to the Venetian and walking
down this long, massive corridor that's probably half a mile. And how cool
is that? The corridor? It's cool, but it's also you know,
a little claustrophobic. Yeah you know what I'm saying, Especially as you get
close to you know, showtime, it gets pretty packed, and then after
the show, same way. Uh. But it's just like everything else in
Vegas. You know, if you you don't have to leave the casino if
you don't want to. Sure, and the energy of the fans going into
a show like that, it just gets built up as you walk and closer.
Everybody just cannot wait to get started. Walking into a you know,
sporting venue with you know, getting off a subway and play together to a
playoff game. Everyone's kind of pulling in the same direction. So next the
next question, Yes, so you go through the tunnel, you go into
the actual structure, and I'm sure they're not going to reveal too much of
what its capabilities are when the house lights are on and music's playing before the
band comes on, so you're kind of like looking around, going okay,
this is cool. What was the feeling when you first got when your senses
were first tuned into what this thing really was with the sound, the lights?
What was that? Describe that moment? Number one and number two?
How did you feel in that moment? You don't even know how close to
the show you're getting by the way that you're asking this question, because the
first thing when you walk in is not the actual show place. It's the
it's the what's the lobby concourse? If you will area first off. It's
lit, you know, beautifully and neon. It's got an ambience, you
know, glow about it. And the music playing And they did the same
thing with you too. The music playing in that arena or in that part
of the arena is the band, but it's a stripped down version of songs
you've heard, almost like slowed down. It's just like dipping your toe into
a bath. And when the show is happening and you walk out into the
concourse to go to the bathroom or get a beer or something, not to
skip ahead, you cannot hear the stage and the music at all. That
was more odd if you want, or shocking to me than just about anything
else. Yes, is the second you walk down, because we talked about
the directional sound capabilities and Trey saying that you can stand on this X and
the singer singing Italian and we'll get to the pop and then move your left
and then you can hear the singer in Spanish if they wanted to send it.
It's that pinpoint directional the audio. But yeah, when you walk down
the tunnel, it just disappears. It's the audio is hard to describe.
It's just I've never heard anything like it so unique. I'd much rather have
Mikey explain the second part of your core experience. Yeah, the thing is
there's a lot of mayhem. You know, I I have to do this
right now, so I may throw a flag on myself. You determine,
You determined if I was in the right of the wrong. So we're trying
to get it in the building. We didn't use that quarter we just described.
We walked outside, big lines, walking back and forth. We had
general admission pit tickets, which is a different interest than all the one hundred
two and three. And so I'm with Christina. She's got these pink pants
on. She looks adorable. This is awesome. And we walk up to
a guy, a guy who worked there. He's pushing a kind of a
folded up wheelchair and I'm just like, hey man, we're trying to get
to the the ga flo War entrance. Where is that? And he kind
of looks over both shoulders, tell you what, have a seat, I'll
take you right to it. I'm sorry, what, yeah, And I'm
you know, ask some cocktails. And look, there's a lot of people
between us and the Fear right now. So Christina sit down and he undoes
the wheelchair and plops Christina in the wheelchair and proceeds to walk us directly past
every person waiting right to an entrance. So the cute pink pants was the
secret handshake too, probably, So Christina is incredibly not look and not look
at me type person, So she was like kind of embarrassed. But we'd
had a few drinks and I'm like, list listen to the man in the
chair with wheels now, and I'm like, butt on a little show if
you want, you know, come on, stop looking for a little show.
Like what was that? What do you do with your hands? If
she wanted a claw hand out play, yeah, I'm not picking up the
flag on this penalty. And he took us directly to the front. Claw
He actually said it out loud, no and he's doing it, doing anything
what? And he took us right to the front. We passed everyone,
and then he took us into the venue, got our wristbands, and he
took us into the dark and little hallway that goes to the pit and he's
like when it got dark, he's like, all right, I jump out.
You guys are good. Unbelievable. And I gave him twenty bucks in
a handshake, which I maybe should have given him more. I don't know.
I don't know if that's why he's doing it, And that's the thing
I did. Look, I didn't ask for this. I would never ask
for anything. Was trying to impress pink pants lady. Possibly, so I
think he's just running a game. Okay, maybe how many how many trips
like that does he take? And then how does he triple his nightly income
by doing it before the show starts? Yeah, and he's probably got something
on the way out too. The other side of that is we dinged our
tickets, but we were at the wrong entrance because he was wheeling us in.
So then when we got inside the venue, I looked and I go,
you know what, these tickets are live, the ones on my phone.
Like I could sell these tickets right now for about three thousand dollars each.
The resale of the prices good was unbelievable, unbelievable, But for I
don't know, karma or whatever, and I'm not a bad person. I
didn't. I ate apparently two live tickets that were in my phone that I
could have slung for six thousand dollars, but I didn't do it anyway?
Did I do anything wrong there? Did you do anything wrong? No,
it was offered to you and you just said yes. We said yes,
So you're on the floorway, Yeah, they will, was right, So
that's what I'd saying. It was a little chaotic and then bam, next
thing you know, you walk in and they were very chill. It was
just like a green kind of ambient screen that would then change to a reddish
pink. I mean, there was nothing going completely essentially just to eliminate I
don't want to give away their the big reviewal anyway, and to illuminate the
venue as people are coming in and walking up these steep things whatever. And
then we got on the floor of the pit and then yeah, essentially the
light the house lights dim or the sphere itself dims. Fish walks out to
muted lighting on the stage and then they grab their gear. The crowd goes
nuts and they start. Now, I'll say, and this is maybe a
far larger discussion, and look at what time is already what the capabilities of
this sphere are versus what they use it for. They could like mind manipulate
and torture the people that are in there, Like if you want to go
the highest level of sensory overload torture, which I imagine is a thing at
get Mo or whatever. They could make everyone in their barf insane, insane.
They could make you insane. So fish knowing that it's experimental music and
that people might be influenced a little more than they would be at the average
U two show, everything they did was kind not everything, but it was
kind of. It was slow. There was nothing fast moving ever on the
sphere for the health of the people there. What first came up was just
kind of a blast of red and blue colors as they started their first song,
and yes, there's oohs and ohs, and then yeah, you can't
believe what you're looking at. It just doesn't all it doesn't make sense.
And it was gorgeous. Are we getting into what happened under the sea?
We can, because, like I said, the audience could get sick,
and a member of my traveling party, I won't say who, but I
will say she was wearing pink pants and was in a wheelchair upon her entrance,
didn't make it through the first set, didn't make it through the first
set. I'm sorry, what did she get sick? She got sick,
like sick or like booss. Oh no, and I promise you this is
no drug related and this is not too much alcohol. I mean no,
she can handle her ass. We had to walk out and we had to
find what they have in the sphere, which is a sensory sensory relief room,
which is a small room in the lobby where they have bean bags and
real quiet lighting and if you start losing your s because of the over stimulation
visually, there's a safe space. Yeah, you can go. This is
available to customer, absolutely checked in, almost like a little hotel. They
asked me my first name and the last initial H and led us in all.
It's called a sensory room. I think there's a bean bag, a
little square TV sized light to change the light in the room towards neutral.
And again, if you can't hear the show when you're walking around the concourse,
you're sure not going to hear it in the sensory room, right.
And they know that they've got this weapon that is so powerful, and again
this is not a fish thing, this is a sphere thingy. They know
that they have a weapon that is so powerful that even when they're not trying
they can bend the mind of somebody who's not ready for it, and that's
exactly what happened. And they have a quiet space. Were there a lot
of people in this nobody, it was private, and there's also nowhere to
sit down. Really, so just that bean Bags was nice and she curled
up. I'll tow you a picture. It's cute. How long were you
in there? Maybe ten minutes? Okay at one point I don't know if
she said on air, but yeah, she went to the bathroom and heaved
what And it was just because just because I was gonna say, yeah,
I was gonna say the thing that set her off was the first time I
think that they use the full power when when when bands play the sphere,
they do this ambient thing that's psychedelic or you know, you know ambient right,
dancing color, Yeah, dancing colors, you know what. It's still
impressive, but every once in a while they go full power. Yeah,
and that imagery. The first time that they did it was a song called
song I Hear the Ocean Sing, and it puts you about one hundred fifty
feet underwater. Yes, you're looking up through the water where fish are dancing
everywhere, and there's sun coming through the waves and these huge rock coral valley
that you're in with seaweed. It's like you're in the middle of this underwater
underwater and the ocean floor. It's like you're a huge fish tank. And
then you start raising toward the surface and that movement is what got her and
it is all encompassing. Did you feel it too? I mean, not
to the point of nausea, but did you feel no, it's it's again,
never fast, it's but it's not possible. It looks like the stage
is almost going up. It's so complete, uh immersion in a feeling that
it's impossible not to be a little bit either wowed or blown away by it.
And can you imagine if you guys had been on mushrooms for this,
I mean I could, I can't imagine. I can imagine that, you
can imagine it. I will say this, I'm imagining it now. We
were Ga Pitt. It was too close for to for the full sphere experience
experience if this was one this was our night or I mean we went to
the middle two nights. It was too close because you're close to the band,
you're close to the back wall, and it doesn't you don't. You
see it, but you don't really grasp what the designs that they're they're putting
up on this thing, or how just beautiful it is. We were too
close. If you're ever go to the sphere, I would say at least
middle of one hundred section, but maybe two hundred level, three hundred level,
Like it's unlike most venues where the further back it's better. I don't
know if it's quite that accurate, but I would have no problem sitting in
four to ten or whatever the highest most centered. Yeah, I saw it.
I saw you two in the three hundred level, and it doesn't matter
about seeing the band, And that's what's different, dificult about understanding what this
sphere experience is. Like. It did look cooler up there because it is
a massive, massive screen and being on the floor versus being up one hundred
level where we were the second night. You'd like that better, right,
I did. Yeah, you could see it just so much, so much
better. Yeah, And Jude, I will say another difference between fish and
YouTube is Fish learned how to mess with the audio a little bit more.
There's some directional stuff that it's almost like a vinyl left left, you know
what I'm saying, left right qu Oh. There's times where you know,
suddenly there's a bass solo and gat kind of rifts over to your to his
side of the stage, and you hear that thumping coming from whatever, and
it doesn't mess with the mix inappropriately. It's the last question before we take
a quickie here. The audio was perfect, Yeah, it was. I
would like to have been in the middle a little bit more. Yeah,
but it's real, really good. Yeah, it's really good. It's just
so it's a different it's different. If you ask me if it's the best
concert experience I've ever had, I don't. I can't even answer that because
it was just in a different category. Do you remember me saying that after
you two? Is that you can't say it was the best concert ever because
it's it's a concert, Yes, yeah, it's it's a different thing.
It's not a rock show. It's not a Imax movie. It's a weird
hybrid of a of a new different medium almost, and it is incredible.
All right, Uh, cash's gonna stick with us. We'll tell you about
why we saw two people get dragged out in a very odd way. There's
some wild stuff going on at that damn place, and uh, we got
some birthdays as well. Some of your talkbacks will do it all next right
here on ninety seven one the Free
