00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:05.040
<v Speaker 1>And now it's time for Benson's week day Up Day,

2
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>featuring veteran news anchor kt F on tweets. Here are

3
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.

4
00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Something really cool happening tomorrow I'll tell you about in

5
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a second. Let's start with last night though, because Jack

6
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:21.679
<v Speaker 2>White was in town Tuesday night.

7
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:22.480
<v Speaker 5>It was a big deal.

8
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.359
<v Speaker 2>We were all talking about it. And then Wednesday just

9
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>sneaking into town because you couldn't see him, he's so small.

10
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Paul Simon played last night, and I know that played.

11
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 2>That might not mean a ton to like the Eagle audience,

12
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine, but Christina Ray was at the Paul

13
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Simon Show last.

14
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Night, and he's pretty iconic. I mean, we have Disturbed

15
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 3>covering Sound of Silence. We played that quite a bit

16
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>and it's an awesome cover. But yes, Paul Simon was

17
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.560
<v Speaker 3>in town last night. He's in town again tonight. So

18
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 3>for a long time I thought I was going tonight

19
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 3>last night, but yeah, he played at Winspear Opera House

20
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Speaker 3>and he is a tiny, tiny man.

21
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:57.840
<v Speaker 5>He's tiny.

22
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 4>How many I've never been in the wind Spear he does.

23
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 4>Actually that is not true. I have been in the

24
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 4>wind spirit.

25
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 5>It's super nice. Is it hold about fifteen hundred?

26
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, kt, I'm bad with numbers, but I can

27
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 3>say it was very intimate. We had great seats on

28
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 3>the floor right in front of him, right in the center,

29
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 3>like right by the lighting and sound guy in the back.

30
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Helmy was Yes, it was five about three, okay,

31
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 6>five to three, and you're with and athletically built Mike Soroy.

32
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 6>Is his full body size about the size of Siroy's torso.

33
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, just about. But again, it was very intimate.

34
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 3>It was probably the quietest concert I've ever been to.

35
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he's gotta be seventy eight eighty three, Oh

36
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 4>my gosh.

37
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 3>So that was a thing. I'm like, I think this

38
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.400
<v Speaker 3>is one the shortest person I've seen perform live, but

39
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.840
<v Speaker 3>also the oldest too. And he still sounded great. I

40
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:48.480
<v Speaker 3>know he was on S and L not too long ago,

41
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 3>and it was kind of iffy, but he sounded awesome

42
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 3>all night. And there are two different sets he did,

43
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 3>like one whole set, and he told us before of

44
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 3>these like seven songs that he just released back in

45
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty three, and I didn't mind him all they

46
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 3>were gorgeous with this guy behind is like this boring sucks.

47
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 4>A guy at the Windspare Opera House was saying something

48
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 4>was boring.

49
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I know.

50
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 3>It was like, dude, it's Paul Simon.

51
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 5>Shut up.

52
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 4>Fine for amazing sound. To be able to see a

53
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 4>show like that there is pretty incredible. I didn't even

54
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 4>know he was coming. I didn't even hear about this.

55
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how Mike found out about it, but yeah,

56
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 3>so it was just him an acoustic guitar. There was

57
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 3>like a cello player, a flute. There's a guy with

58
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 3>a clarinet too. Wait, was there heavy drums? There was

59
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 3>a big drum kit, but I wouldn't say heavy, but

60
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 3>he did do all like the big hits, like a

61
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Homeward Bound. That was the first song that actually made

62
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>me tear up because I realized, like this might be

63
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 3>the first and only time I see Paul Simon perform,

64
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, But it was also kind of nice. I

65
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 3>was like, really appreciate this moment because this is provole.

66
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 3>And then also they played Me and Julio down by

67
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 3>the school yard. That was like the way to end it.

68
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.080
<v Speaker 3>And then he came back on for an encore. I

69
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 3>was very impressed with him.

70
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 4>Did they have a hologram of Gene Hackman out there

71
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 4>during Me and Julio down by the schoolyard.

72
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.439
<v Speaker 5>No, that would have been incredible.

73
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 3>There was a projector behind him, but they didn't really

74
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 3>put that much up on there. But I will say so.

75
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 3>They did like two songs, two or three songs for

76
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 3>the encore. Then everyone left the stage and it was

77
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 3>just Paul Simon and he did this sound silent. Oh

78
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 3>my god, and I cried so hard, my old friend.

79
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 3>It was incredible. So again, he's playing another show tonight.

80
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it's sold out, but if someone

81
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 3>wants to go, I don't recommend it.

82
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 5>No way, that thing's not sold out.

83
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 4>The great thing about him is that the parts that

84
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 4>he sings, there's not a lot of range. Yeah, you know,

85
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.199
<v Speaker 4>like even on the Simon and Garfunkel stuff, Garfunkel saying

86
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 4>all the high harmonies and stuff.

87
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 3>He had his wife come out for a few songs.

88
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 5>Too, Dallas native ed Berkel ebro Kel, Edie Berkell.

89
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 3>She is awesome and very tall compared to him. She

90
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 3>has a great voice.

91
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 5>So he's the definition of a short king.

92
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he had a powerful, short guy's awesome two hundred

93
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>the capacity the all right, So tomorrow night at at

95
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.360

96
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>reason we're doing this, Yes, it is. What he's got

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>it's all kinds of carnival games, tattoos, live music going on.

102
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 2>But one thing that he did because he went to
