This is the downbeat on ninety seven to one the Free. Yesterday we did the story on the Panther City Barbecue situation in Fort Worth where they're accusing another restaurant of involvement and the theft of one of their pit trailers smokers. This is about thirty thousand dollars. And then Ben and Skin had the owner of Panther City Barbecue on the co owner Chris talked to him on the phone for a minute yesterday and DMed him on its Chris magdalenis Magdalanis Magdalens Chris Panther City
Barbecue co owner. There's a big story in WFAA that got posted last night too. He's allegend the owner of Daybreak Cafe appears where his property is being used as a transit point for stolen good So he's not saying that the day Back, Daybreak Cafe and for Worth is doing it, but is aware that his property is being used to kind of be a part of a place to keep stolen goods. Chris said in the WFA article, it's a disgusting feeling
to know that another neighboring business is involved in a theft from us. I want to see people go to jail. Daybreak's owner denies the accusation told WFAA that he doesn't know who brought Panther City's trailer to the vacant lot next to his cafe, so there's a big investigation on going there. This fight began
back on New Year's Day. Did you say yesterday there was more than just those smokers found there or something or no. Yeah, So he said to Chris at Panther City had learned someone stole the eight thousand pounds trailer and then he found it in that vacant lot next to Daybreak Cafe because he had a GPS tracker on it, and they have surveillance video footage showing a person in a white van tewing away the trailer. But Chris said in the wfa article
it's personal and someone's got to pay for this. He spent weeks surveilling the lot next to Daybreak Cafe keeping track of the white van. He heard from another restaurant, Grease Monkey Burgers in Arlington had also reported a similar head reported a food truck was stolen by a similar white van. So a white van parks at that restaurant or in the vacant lot next to the restaurant. I think the question is who owns that land, probably and maybe they're trying to
figure that out in the investigation. And who owns the white van. Probably own the white van. Pretty easy to find out that part. This is the owner of Daybreak Cafe, Mario Garcia. He said he talks to all his customers, but he doesn't know the man's name. He said he has other business interests and will occasionally buy a discount lumber and paint cans and sell them at the flea market. He insists he does not steal. If I wanted to steal, I wouldn't be here working four thirty in the morning until
six o'clock at night. Bye hey. Garcia said he has been in contact with a lawyer and plans to bring a lawsuit against Chris from Panther City. Uh oh counter sue. But this guy says that he does like to what acquire paint cans and sell them at the flea market and lumber so he likes, but he buys that. He claims he buys those. I don't know, man, I don't know. Just move on. God. Chris said they didn't mess at the wrong barbecue place. We're just not going to stand
by and take it fort Worth War. It's a barbecue battle Royale, damn straight. And something similar to that coming up at eight o'clock with barbecue blue bonnets in the Bible, A small town Texas adventure for the Pixies that historically Texas banned the Pixies. You can call in two and four eight when seven seven eight seven one nine seven one to go head to head with Mike's aroy. I advise you not to call in and go head to head with me
because you'll lose. Well, I like the guy fighting man, because isn't it you know more about this, you said, because you knew something about the price of smokers, at least that they're expensive health. But isn't that part of it is that when you have a get smoker and you use it, then it creates seasoned absolutely, And I got this thing right where I want. I can't just go buy the identical smoker because it's not identical. It won't it will never be identical. He's right, He's right. Like
I don't want a new iron skillet. I've got the same one I've had for twenty years and it's I use it all the time, and it's got it's got flavors built into it. I've just decided I'm going to break into Danny's house and steal his iron skillet and sell it at a flea market. And I also need a white van. We can get you that. Just to aggravate you. You're so mean to me. What a mean thing to do. It's still my skillet. She mean to MEY say, oh yeah,
con Curtis, yeah, manhunt. Eight people were killed, nine shot in Joliet, Illinois. The other day. The suspect Romeo Nance I was found dead. Romo Nance, Romeo Nance. He sounds like a cornerback for the forty nine ers found dead twenty three years old. Again, a people killed, nine shot in Joliet, Illinois. Found dead yesterday outside of a gas station in Natalia, Texas, Texas. And it was a self inflicted gunshot to the herd. Natalia, Texas is near San Antonio. So he
made it pretty far south. Was he headed from Mexico? You think I get to get from Juliet, Illinois? And what day did the Joliette thing happen? That was a few days ago, a couple of days three days ago. Yeah, Yeah, he's been Threemon's South. I would guess. Yes, he's headed for the border, yeah, which I don't know if that works or not. Four separate shootings in Joliette. This kid was on a spree, twenty three years old, went on a freaking spree and most
of the people that he killed were family members of his. I'm glad he's dead. Yes, he got to San Antonio and that what is it, Joliet little ten what's that? Oh? In San Antonio? Yeah, Natalia County, Natalia County. He sounds like the remember what law enforcement branch it was. But they were approaching him, they were about to get him, and he turned the gun on himself, killed himself. And boy, see the picture of him. He looks like a real nice, real sweet looking
twenty three year old young man. And but his victims, I think the youngest was fourteen, killed a fourteen and a sixteen year old. Yeah, I was driving a red Twota Camry. One policeman who said he says, I've been a policeman twenty nine years. This is the worst crime scene I've ever been associated with. Talking about two of the homes related in some of the shootings on Sunday. Also, I thought this was a funny part of it because I just think this is a great name. I was looking for
the humor in this story. So I'm glad that you're you're lighting this up. That's how it's what I do. Baby, we may never know the truth or motives, says Chief Chief Deputy of Criminal Investigations Dan Jungles. That's a good one. It's just spelled jungle. You don't know anyone named mister Jungles. Like, seriously, his cariff that is out standing, j U n G l Ees, mister Jungles. That's the only good thing to come out of the story. That is Now we've been introduced to Deputy Jungles.
Well, what an idiot? Yeah, twenty three. Just don't do anything till you're twenty five. Everyone, yeah, stop, everyone just trusts me. Whatever you're gonna do, it's a bad idea. No one do anything. Yeah, we might, we might take a deeper dive into the the I don't know details of this story at eight thirty. Revisit it. Yeah, your other stories you're better than this one. No, I've got stuff, But I mean there's some stuff in that story that about how those shootings
went down. They've done they've done some preliminary investigation, and it's pretty crazy about what this kid did and the fact that he just immediately went on the lamb. Your other stories, you're better than this one. I'm not saying I'm gonna exclude the other stories. You meet whistle. Let's transition into our two news, our two news honkeyes. No, it's our two unremarkable newshounds are going at it yelling about their news segment. I want to just advance
the topic. That's what we do. Martep, Yep, yep. But don't leave out the good stuff. Oh he's yelling again. I wish he'd stop just hadding some energy and flair. I get it. We're not sleepy. God. Good news, double shot of good news for MAVs fans. Are you ready? You had it for this? How ready are you? They played tonight, need to win. Things are not been looking good, but they have announced that thirteen games, including tonight, will be airing on
w FAA. So if any of you are out there struggling with the ballely situation, MAVs are gonna get a bunch of games aired for you. Second half of the season on Channel eight pretty much the entire month of March. It looks like, right, it's a lot, a lot. I can tell you that. It's Uh, so you get March one, three, seven, nine, eleven, thirty, yeah, nine, eleven, thirteen, seventeen, twenty nine, and then April fifth, nineth, tenth, and twelfth. That is great, So you get a lot of that action.
The the way they work this out is so some of this it's gonna help, I guess, because Bally couldn't pay for some of this. Apparently it seems like god, it's worded like that in the article, but I was reading through it and I was like, it basically is like Bally needs help. That sinking ship is just on fire as it goes down into the
water and just selling whatever they can sell. Yep. And when when all the when there's a stories like this, there's always a parent company involved in The parent company is called Tegna, and Tegna is like, oh my god, yes, hell yeah, Techno Channel eight and they're like, oh yeah, MAVs games would be great over these reruns of Only Murders in the Building that we're airing. Just because writers strike, we didn't have a lot of
content, So it'll be the same ballet team. It'll be Followell and Harp and Devin Harris and Skin and Leslie McCaslin, the whole group, you know, doing their thing, and it's WFA tonight tonight. It's kind of cool that the thing gets announced and then whammy. Yes, Now this might have been another a normal national NBA on ABC game though in fact it was.
So this is already because they've been doing kind of Wednesday nights. Yep, they had the In fact, MAVs were playing the MAVs Madvs and Lakers last Wednesday, that's true, So it's MAVs Sons tonight. This is such a brings me such pleasure and joy watching the Celtics on Monday. The apparatus that I have to set up to get that thing streamed to my TV. First of all, the pictures not that great. They're buffering, and I will ask you not no less than seventy five close outs before the pop ups subsided
to where it was just a clean game. And then it's still and I'm in like the third quarter, and it just for no reason just jumps back to the middle of the first. So then you've got to refresh it, and then you've got to go through all the pop ups again. And then I get on Reddit and I'm trying to find streamings. I found a good one by the way, Yeah, yeah, really good one that is much less pop ups. But the one that I've been using, good God.
Can you imagine. Let's say that my mom was in town and she's like, oh, the Maps are playing the Celtics. She's from Massachusetts. That'd be a great thing for us to do together. Okay, Mom, hold on, let me get my computer out. Holy crap, that's a beaver. Those are boobs. Yeah, oh my god. No, I don't want to go gambling. Ah, what's she doing with that thing? You know? I don't want that in front of my mom. So now that they're going to be on ABC, this is good news for me and you.
Not the entire schedule, but partially solved thirteen games. Great. He said, it was a double shot of good news. Here's the double shirt. A very unorthodox thing happened yesterday in Milwaukee. I'm gonna get this back to the MAVs in a Second's worked with me for a second. First year head coach Adrian Griffin fired by the way, the Bucks are thirty and thirteen. I think yep, unless they played last night and one. So thirty
and thirteen is the record fired first year head coach. Why because he doesn't get along or he it's because Jannis the Star doesn't like him. I mean, that's what I think. Jannis has had a lot of critical comments about the mood, not shots really so much at the organization. It's just clear that he's been unhappy. Now I'm gonna go back to a post from September fourteenth, twenty twenty three. This is from the Zodiac GM. I don't know if you'll follow the Zodiac GM on Twitter. I do now. He
put this again September Jannis Sagittarius and Adrian Griffin Cancer. That's D plus synergy. Jannis's most compatible coaches would be Nick Nurse, who's a LEO A plus, Budenhozer, who's a LEO A plus, Doc Rivers who's a Libra a plus, kid who's an Aries a plus, and Steve Kerr is a Libra a plus. These are the type of coaches that matches Giannis's energy. I
can see him being unhappy in Milwaukee being under new coach Griffin. And sure enough, forty three games in, despite winning almost seventy percent of those games as predicted by the Zodiac Killer the Zodiac GM right, Yes, what if he got so unhappy there that he wanted to go find a coach that he matches his center with. And I'll tell you what. We're on the short list, Jason Kidd. The bad news is Doc Rivers is the who is the on the A team of the NBA broadcast in fact, might be doing
tonight's game. Doc Rivers is going to probably begetting the Milwaukee Bucks job, which is pretty good gig for him. Do half the season on the NBA on ABC broadcasting team and then jump in and get Yannis in a team that's already up at the top of the Eastern Conference standings just because we're really liking the new guy too much. I kind of admire a franchise not scared to do something like that. I mean, you're thirty and thirteen. There's a
zero reason to fire ahead coach from an external viewpoint. But to realize whatever that is, and if it is just butting heads with your the reason that you're thirty and thirteen, that's reason enough. I mean, and then I look, hopefully we have Jason Cay not with us, maybe tomorrow if we win. But I can't shake the thought that we might not be getting the
most out of this roster. And last offseason when Budenholzer and Doc Rivers and Nick Nurse were all available, I remember saying it, like, why don't we consider this? You know? I mean when we had Carlisle, you knew, unless we were playing the Spurs, you were going to have the smartest coach on the bench, like you were going to do the right thing. Now, the results whatever. I just hope that in five years we don't look back and say we had two of the top ten players in the
league and we were always just a middling middle of the West team. Why but the Bucks who are thirty and thirteen at the courage You'd be like, look, and I'm the owner, and this is why. I don't know. I just kind of had this feeling like somebody else And Doc Rivers was a perfect example last offseason, established coach, a winner. Yeah, I just hope we're getting the most out of what we got. And yes, you can say we have two guys and no one else, and that is
probably true as well. But I just don't know. We should be better, we should be more consistent and not be on this insane roller coaster. I think they were counting on twenty five year old Grant Williams to come give them a little more than he's given them. He's been hurt. Is there a thought that he should just sit out for two weeks and get right and then we get him back? Remember he was great in October in early November.
Yeah, I like him, but he's not in the edition that No, not yet, and apparently he's playing through injuries and they all are. Would you say this team's personnel is better now than it was when they made the conference finals? I think I would say it is. You would, well, just because the NBA is so like top heavy with stars, that just because of the addition of Kyrie, Yeah, you have to think what else? I mean, what are we missing from that? The whole team's
pretty much here. I mean Jason took him to that. Yeah, and then the first you guess, I just and maybe I'm not a large enough basketball brain to know that we're get if we're ever getting out coached. I don't know if that's exactly true, but I rarely do I feel like, oh my god, we are out coaching them. Yeah, a solid, steady hand over there, kind of have our rotation, and yeah, they've
been injured this year. I get it. I think it's I think it's more about personnel than it is. Look, how much is how much coaching is going on with Luca has the ball and he's bringing it up the court. No, I get that, and I was doing his thing. Could any coach come in and make Luca better? Like, I don't know, maybe that'd be an attitude thing or how happy he is, but the dude's lighting it up every time he's on the floor. Just mighte being bashed up
himself, and he's questionable for tonight as well. Supporting cast is wildly inconsistent that simple. Yes, but I think Jason gid was brought in to give Luca someone that he could just look at and respect, because this dude was near my level. How good do we feel about things if they win tonight over Phoenix, who has Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, I mean good,
right? I mean you feel like they've been doing what they've been You feel like they'd be doing what they've been doing, which is up and down, up and down, up and down. I just, yeah, how many games has is the fact that Jason Kidd is our head coach won for the Mavericks, and it's hard to judge. I don't know that answer. Yeah, I don't know. But if Danny Bayless is the coach of the Dallas Mavericks, I am available. Sure Luca would still be going out and lighting
it up. I do have more questions about things happening on the court than I ever did with Rick Carlisle, at least that I can remember, although I remember a few playoff series going. Why did he insist on playing small that entire series? Then we get beat by the Hornet. I do remember those days ten plus years ago, So I'm not running from that, but I do agree with you on that. Does he bring you a coaching edge tangibly on the court, I don't know, And do like if Lively's not
there, we thought Racon Holt, Rashawn Holmes was gonna help us. I mean, these were your top five highest paid players, and he was part of the draft day deal, you know, But he's just kind of sitting there and hardly ever plays, and there's eleven million dollars just of dead weight well on many nights kind of thought, Jane Hardy might take another big step. You'd never know if he's gonna get a DNP, yeah, or if
he's gonna have to play thirty minutes to help bail out the offense. If if Luca or Kyrie are not both playing or both dominating a game, you are having to play Tim Hardaway more than you want to because Grant Williams has giving you no offense and Tim Harroway is doing good and you're at his job, which is make three pointers. Yeah, you're thinking, well, sacrificing defense by you know, there's a lot that they could use a boost.
There's no doubt some form of an upgrade, But I don't know where that is and how you can make the money work and all those things. And I just know every time they lose a game, Luca looks like the most pissed off person on planet Earth. Yeah, And a lot of these games they're down by ten, they're down by fifteen, and just kind of scratching and calling to get back in it. And it feels like when they're winning, they're scratching and calling to get by some of those Yeah, hold,
many people anymore. You know. I just think when they look their best, they look really good and they look like they can play with just about anyone. And I feel like the coach's job is to just make them look more like their best than their middle or their worst. And at they're worst, they really look grumpy. Yeah, disorganized, that's body language from your
captain, dude. I'm run from that. I'm very very I do not like criticizing Luca because he might be the great just like basketball talent we've ever seen overall, he really might be up there. There's a Lebron type numbers in his career that he's put up so far. Yeah, nuts, But you see him and you're just like, God, would you just get back on defense one time? Would you please? But it's interesting, like he's he's played better defense than key moments. He'll tell you. I keep telling
you this. Geez. Him not ever taking a summer off is caught up with him. I do believe that maybe those Euros don't take summers off, man, they are loyal to their homelands. Yeah, which is cool. It took Dirk a long time before he quit doing it. MAVs Sons tonight, KG will have the pregame for you at seven. We get it going at seven thirty. MAVs Sons tonight here on ninety seven one.
