Speaker 1: a lot of fun stuff coming up here in the
Speaker 1: back half of the show. I love the Ben and
Speaker 1: Skin wayback machine. KT's got something in honor of the Masters,
Speaker 1: a funny throwback Bane and Skin. If you've never heard it,
Speaker 1: I bet you can imagine what that is. But right
Speaker 1: now it's time for this.
Speaker 2: And now it's time for Bass week Day Up Day,
Speaker 2: featuring veteran news anchor KT fun tweets. Here are the
Speaker 2: important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.
Speaker 3: City of Dallas is about to get its own Ikea
Speaker 3: that would get add to one in Frisco. There's one
Speaker 3: Grand Prairie Rock Wall's got one opening in spring of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. But Dallas is gonna get one at
Speaker 3: the shops at Park Lane.
Speaker 2: Oh no, wow, Oh it's horrible, which seems like a
Speaker 2: traffic problem.
Speaker 1: Is the shops at Park Lane, the one that's on
Speaker 1: the east side of the highway. Yeah, we're like that
Speaker 1: bowling alley and all that stuff is yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, but where that Dick Sporting good is Dick's Sporting
Speaker 3: Goods and across the way from Northport Mall.
Speaker 2: Across the highway, it's already a traffic problem. Yeah, oh
Speaker 2: my god, so is it going in that?
Speaker 4: I'm trying to imagine where it's going. What's there currently?
Speaker 1: There's a ton of stuff there. Yeah, I know, I'm
Speaker 1: just shot. But it's all super congested and super dense.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, where the hell does an Ikea go?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: I yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I I think about Ikea the same way I think
Speaker 1: about BUCkies. I think it just overwhelms people because of
Speaker 1: the size, Like the size of it is so huge,
Speaker 1: and people are like, oh my god, this must be good.
Speaker 1: But you go and it's just it's kind of a
Speaker 1: bunch of furniture made out of balsa wood that you
Speaker 1: got to put together yourself, right, Yeah, I can't wait
Speaker 1: to be frustrated building this cheap furniture.
Speaker 3: Dude, we're putting something together the night and they sent
Speaker 3: a screw in the package that did not have the
Speaker 3: divot in it for the screwdriver h to send it
Speaker 3: back or do I just go to Low's on my
Speaker 3: own and get the things. I can tell you what's
Speaker 3: at the shops at Park Laye in a second. But
Speaker 3: but I want to be clear about something here.
Speaker 2: This one is going to be sixty three.
Speaker 3: Thousand square feet, so it was that half the size,
Speaker 3: I would say, not half. The one in Frisco is
Speaker 3: nearly three hundred thousand square Okay, so about a fifth
Speaker 3: the size.
Speaker 4: Of that one.
Speaker 3: Here's my problem with Ikeia those none of the stuff
Speaker 3: about that or something back. It's have you seen the
Speaker 3: signs for the exit? They make you walk through the store.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they send you through the conveyor belt. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's like a corn maze to get out of there.
Speaker 1: It's the exit through the gift shop mentality. They force
Speaker 1: you to exit through something so that you buy more stuff.
Speaker 2: But honestly, it just becomes a tumultuous walk.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: At that point it's like hiking.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, oh my god, I think I just went around
Speaker 2: the store three times.
Speaker 3: You start dehydratingicking in all the while there's also there's
Speaker 3: always a lot of people in there. You feel this
Speaker 3: thing in you to not break the order of things
Speaker 3: because I know I'm always going No, I can get
Speaker 3: to the exit if I just cut through here. But
Speaker 3: you feel like you have to stay with the order
Speaker 3: of things for some reason.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they've got they've got security guards with numb chucks.
Speaker 4: It's crazy cut at all. They will take you.
Speaker 3: Out so ike uh eah uh will join the shops
Speaker 3: at Parks Lane with things like.
Speaker 2: Bowling barrel.
Speaker 1: That's a cool That's what I was talking about bowling there.
Speaker 1: I cannot visualize where this is going.
Speaker 3: Holy crap. They have a Champ Sports there. I mean
Speaker 3: there's Champs in years. Wow, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: I would go to Champs.
Speaker 4: I know that brand is taken off with young people.
Speaker 4: Champs has yeah, oh wow, retro brand.
Speaker 3: Okay, Nostalgia's back baby, uh Cava, Chipotle, dog Topia, I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 2: It's a place for dog got home goods in there.
Speaker 1: You do bring up an interesting question, what's the deal
Speaker 1: with grapevine? No, Grand Prairie, Grand Prairie, Grand Prairie. Grand
Speaker 1: Prairie is huge.
Speaker 4: Grand Prairie for.
Speaker 1: The longest time was considered to just be a giant
Speaker 1: warehouse district. And suddenly they're getting stuff.
Speaker 2: It's because they're large.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have a lot of room to put all
Speaker 3: this stuff because like I mean, you know where the
Speaker 3: track is all that stuff?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What else is over there? Nothing? Nothing?
Speaker 1: So they're starting to put stuff everywhere. Now, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: For the longest time, that stretch there was considered to
Speaker 1: be no man's land because a lot of it is landfill,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, and you stretch along thirty you can
Speaker 1: smell it too. Yeah, you know when you're in Grand Prairie.
Speaker 3: No offense to anyone who lives out there, but you
Speaker 3: know it, it's that fart smell.
Speaker 2: You can't get it. You can't get away from it.
Speaker 1: You can't say no offense and then say their community
Speaker 1: smells like farts.
Speaker 2: No, there's just the stretch. It's not the whole community,
Speaker 2: that's what you're saying.
Speaker 4: I feel like we should turn this into a station promo.
Speaker 3: No one has done more for the city of Grand
Speaker 3: Prairie than me right here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: As we searched for the cobra.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had the mayor on, right.
Speaker 3: We had the mayor on. We're supposed to go to
Speaker 3: the horse races with him sometime. You're the guy that
Speaker 3: got that chicken and pickle out there. I don't think
Speaker 3: I did that.
Speaker 4: Oh, you should have taken credit for that. That's likely
Speaker 4: one of the best things.
Speaker 3: I kept them in the headlines quite a bit longer
Speaker 3: than everyone else did.
Speaker 2: When everyone else turned their back.
Speaker 1: They wanted to be in the headlines about an escape
Speaker 1: of cobra right being loose in the community.
Speaker 4: Everyone's like, what's the story we have in Ikea?
Speaker 2: I look the shops at Park Lane. Is a Starbucks
Speaker 2: that's unique.
Speaker 4: They probably have four of them.
Speaker 2: They got that Whole Foods. I usually go to that
Speaker 2: Whole Foods all the time when I lived over there
Speaker 2: on Greenville. Yeah, but don't anymore.
Speaker 3: So Ikea coming to down So a lot of people
Speaker 3: are excited about this though. Who people would like to
Speaker 3: go shopping at Ikea?
Speaker 1: People that have never been to Ikea.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3: The first time, it is overwhelming. Boy, it's same ta
Speaker 3: get Nebraska Furniture Mark. Oh my god, that's like Ikea
Speaker 3: times one hundred.
Speaker 2: The overload, man.
Speaker 1: But at least it's laid out in a way where
Speaker 1: you don't have to look at every single thing they offer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not amaze, and that's not going to force
Speaker 4: you to go through it.
Speaker 2: They have it. They have more.
Speaker 3: It's not that I kid doesn't have sections, but they're
Speaker 3: kind of like couches, kitchen stuff, and.
Speaker 2: I kids a little less like that.
Speaker 1: I would say, Man, I saw this report that uh
Speaker 1: Nebraska Furniture Mark spends more money on television advertising than
Speaker 1: anyone in town.
Speaker 4: Wow, you see it that much? I guess I do
Speaker 4: see it all the time, But I I we just
Speaker 4: go there like we need furniture. We just go. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's where we go.
Speaker 1: And I think the other thing for me is when
Speaker 1: you said that, I just realized how much I don't
Speaker 1: watch local television.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Wow, shots fired at delcas. Sorry, Pete, dude, you're on chair. Unbelievable,
Speaker 1: You're yeah, what do you mean many nights of the year.

Speaker 3: store be in there homes? I wonder if they bought
Speaker 3: inventory for the night too. I wonder how much they spent.
