Good morning, down Beat. This is your freaking Stars update, brought to you by Not Jim. The Dallas Stars beat the Arizona Coyotes last night five to two. Five different Stars scored goals in their efforts, extending their record of forty two and nineteen. This is not Jim and that has been your freaking Stars update. You're listening to the Downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak you know, superhit. We just air those. Jim would be happy. It'd be like, all right, yeah, there's Stars update.
I thought Jim made some good points of his emails. You're willing to debate and discuss rational people. We love y'all. We want you all to listen. Yeah, remember that, remember that man Danny has a big update on this sewage problem that we had with the Plano manhole cover ended up leaking a bunch of waste, three Olympic sized pools worth of waste in the white Rock
Lake. Hy White Rock Lake cars. Yeah, yeah, the Corinthian Sailing Club's White Rock Lake who had a regatta this weekend that has been canceled. Yeah, thanks a lot, and the Vice Commodore had a lot to say about it. Well, we have exclusive audio of the Vice Commodore's reaction to what Plano did. Eight thirty buckle your pants? You got a cop at nine, Mike, We do set that up. I did set that up. Yeah, I think that'll actually be legit interesting. We have a police
officer calling in at nine o'clock. He doesn't know. We're probably gonna make it. Ask a cop, just ask him some random stuff, but it's primarily about car thefts and DFW. What kind of car do you have? Are you a high risk candidate to have your car stolen? Car stolen? In about thirty seconds too, how are cars stolen? New technology? The latest? Why the numbers are skyrocketing of carthf's and DFW up forty year to year? Are you safe? Are your children safe? Nine am? Don't
miss it? If you love your family, can't wait. That was very inside editions. Have you plus stuff work and they've been doing it for forty years on TV. Hot teasers work. Another text here. The whole station just blew by. It blew over Madonna's statue with a passing mention. That was really disappointing. Yes, and we said that, I think in like a minute ago. I think we said that Jim brought up some good points of that email about that, and we do apologize that guy misspelled Madonna when
he wrote that. He did it was Emmy d You gotta spell it right, dude. Look, Star's coverage has concluded for today. We're done with Jim. Yeah, let's move on. That was not Jim and text in that that came from cop. You know, we'll hear more from him at nine. Is these things. It's up in Stars Day. It's actually Bracket Day. It's dude, the tournament has begun. I think we're not allowed to say m M Are you kidding? Yeah, that's one of those trademark things. I think. The big game, Yeah, it is. The
big games begin today. It is a damn borderline national sports holiday today. I love today, I really do. We used to. I don't even know we can get it. I mean, it used to be the greatest day. We had a friend of mine who was actually my age. His dad always ran like the town bracket pool, so it was like it was like heaven that Tuesday Wednesday, and it was all on paper back then, back in my day, you know, and you would drive it over to his house and turn in the you know, turn in the bracket and they
would score it like the family would score it again. It was always so fun just to have one. Nowadays there's so many bracket websites, and there's I Got a bunch, I love you. Yeah, but that was a pretty mid level story. No, dude, Well you didn't have here's what you bracket and drove. Yeah, back in the day, a small town and you come from a big city where no one could even know anybody. I mean, if we review from it, sometimes you're like, is that
we could have talked stars for that ninety second? We already did enough stars. You said it, Danny, Did you have that Knox City growing up a small town bracket challenge? No? No, we actually got out of our houses and played actual basketball. Yeah, well you did, real kids, They didn't disclose us from doing that. That turned into real men that didn't need to sit around in an office with our fat bellies. Yeah, filling out brackets and handing our twenty dollars to Tim. Yea hey Tim,
Tim, here's you still only twenty dollars. I know I'll get it to you next week. Tim, I'm talking about too busy playing basketball. Yeah, I didn't have the money being eight years old. There are people listening right now who are not going to work today. I know good friend of the show. I want to say his name, because he's supposed to go to work today. He's going to a bar in about an hour and they are gonna him and twenty of his friends and they have some uh what was
it? Did they walk to a lion's mouth to get to that bar? No, they have some game. You know you play Past the Cup in baseball? You ever play that where you put a buck in per a bat? Yeah, they have something with that where there's a big bucket of money on the table and every game, you know, whatever happens. I mean,
the gambling is out of control. But you just watch all damn day twelve hours basically, and they stagger the games perfectly where they start and then halftime, new game, two games, halftime, new game, three games, back to two. Now we're up to four. Oh. You get to remember that true TV is a channel that exists. We scramble to find True Tvay so good. Well, then the Dallas Wanting News they put out big D bracket challenge. We're back to this. We did I've loved this
twice. Go to the west and the east. Today we're gonna we're gonna rock out the north. They had the dude, what's his name, I don't have it on my bracket, Dallas Cothroam. Is he the guy who put the bracket together? Yes? Yeah, he was on with Ben and Skin the other day and he heard us kicking around some of the the topics, and really he was felt shame that you guys had the two one four area code losing in the first round to the Longhorn Ballroom. And he's like,
oh god, it was a bad matchup by him. And I think he is a nice guy and has made it right with what he's done on this north side of the bracket, beginning with number one Big Text against number sixteen Barney. Okay, now that's a true one versus the sixteen. How Barney is iconic? Oh my god, Barney's touched more lives than Big Text has. No, he has, yes, had more lives, Yes, yes, more people have gone through the State Fair in the last I don't
know, one hundred years. The then the handful of dumb kids that watched Barney thirty years ago. Correct, I understand this is the Big d bracket challenge, and I know how this game is probably gonna play out, but you can go all across the nation and tens of millions, No Barney More. They don't know big texts in Michigan. And you know what here, get ready to email me, Jim, because freaking big text is dumb looking and the thing burned down. Give it was given it, gave it added
to his iconic yeat. That was awesome. But what you could have done is built back a badass big text who doesn't look like a doufe. What do you want him to build a transformer? You want optimist prime out there and a cowboy, Yes, that's what it is. Now it's not as good. You understand you're about to vote for a pedal and a purple dinosaur out You don't know that he teaches an adult class of tantric sex. They just put one. Put big Text down, and stop being ridiculous, all
of you. He double jointed with no ass, and they rebuilt him exactly the same way. You could have made some hard looking Texan that's now big text, the modern big Text. You rebuilt it to look like you had it originally in nineteen fifty whatever. Why go nostalgia. That's what big text must look like. Screw you, let's advance, let's make it better. It burned down. That was a shame had it not burned down. Keep the same big text forever. But you don't rebuild it to look like a
doufe Kevin. Yeah, I understand the point of view coming from this side of the table. A person that did not grow up in this area, that grew up in the big city of Sarasota and hanging out at Saint Pete's and playing strip or slippy slide on his lap at Mon's Venus and when he was in high school. But you you even considering that bloated gross eye love you, you love me? You're gonna You're gonna vote for Barney over big texts Uh, easy one on this. Yeah, Barney was bullied for no
reason. We've got Charles Barkley punched him out one time on Saturday Night because he deserved it. Well, Barney was born in the Metroplex. He is of Dallas. He was a gift from Dallas to the rest of the world. He's impacted millions of lives and all that bitchery said, I clearly vote for big text. There he is. We had a chance to be the official show of Underdogs and Cinderella's and you get really gonna vote for Big Text here? Yeah? No, big Text is way more iconic than Barney.
Care about Barney, He's not. Barney is way more iconic. Well, Danny still has a vote. Yeah, of course it's big Text, all right, pencil it in, idiot. We already had a sixteen beating a one in the east, with the Long Horned Ballroom beating out an area code. We blew that. Well, yeah, we did that the right movie. You've never been to the Longhorn Ballroom. Okay, that's true. You'll go, and you'll go. I should have voted for it. This is better than the entire city of Dollas. No, it's not the city,
it's the area code. It's the three numbers. It represents us. It's three numbers that represent all of us, all right, Number eight el Phoenix downtown town location Number nine. The French Room. What's the French Room? Yeah, I don't know. I know, I'm quite hoity toity, and you guys probably think I've been to the French Room. I never have. French Room is just an incredible fine dining experience. Have you really been? Oh I've no. I said I'd never been. Okay, I know you
figured I had. I'd never been to the French Room. I've been al Phoenix. I've been to the downtown location. It's it's kind of like it's been there since like nineteen eighteen or something. Fine, give me al Phoenix, then one vote for al Phoenix. Easy. I'm going to vote for I'm going to vote for Mexican food pretty much every time. Yeah, French Room at the Adolphus Hotel, that's a clean sweep. Give me a Phoenix, even though it's fine. Number five Southwest Airlines versus number twelve the Katie
Trail, Wow, that is tough. I'll vote first year guys. Text Barney is the worst ever, Just a great, simple, worst thing. That guy must have been a bigger fan of Baby Bob or BJ. They're mad that my Florida is showing I bet Schale puts ketchup on his corny dog iffing Florida man. I will never put catch one on hot dogs, So say what you want about me, but not that Florida man. Boy. People get mad if you take on big Text. Huh, he has no ass. Yeah, but he wears cool Dicky's pants and he looks at you
that's right, and he talks kind of weird. I'm up for Southwest Airlines because you, if they're doing their job right, won't have a guy walking around with the machete Kti Trail. You could get hacked up, that's true. And and their panels tend to stay on their planes, which is helpful. Put the pressure on dingu because I am I'm an American Airlines man. I've flown Southwest plenty of times. It's fine. I don't like the seating
arrangement. I don't like to choose your own seat. I don't like to have to get the elbows out and discourage someone silently not to sit here. I'm voting for the Kdie Trail. I'm torn on this one because Southwest is great. It's it's a metroplex institution. The Katie Trail in comparison, relatively new, but it's pretty bad ass. There was a time when when we worked at the old station that I would take my bicycle from Lower Greenville and ride it to work in the summer, like all the time. It was
great, man. I like the Ktie Trail and the scenery is a lot better on the Katie Trail than it is on a plane. Kill me the trail, Yes, give me the trail, crail trail, trill pencil. That is so easy to go and get on the south with the airport and it's it's quick. And they fly out of the greatest airport in to me the world, and that loses to the trail. I was love Field, oud, move on? Is love Field even on this You gotta be kidding me, I mean, I kind of, I just kind of lumping the
two together. Is this guy's name John Dallas? Yeah, Dallas number four of the Texas school Book Depository building versus number thirteen Liquid paper, which was created here. Okay, so the structure that housed the murder of our president and a tiny black and white bottle that covers up mistakes. M Yeah, the condom of riding. Yeah, boy, that's hard. I don't really paper. I mean, yes, important invention. Who uses it? Anybody? Yeah? I don't know what the current status of liquid paper is.
But what the hell is this Texas school Book Depository if not just the location of a gunman. And it does house a wonderful, wonderful Museum, the JFK Museums. Yes, second to nine. I do love the museum. I'm gonna go Texas school Book Depository. I'm gonna go ahead and vote with you, Mikey Me and Florida Manor Lockstep today We're where are you? I would have done? Okay? Good number six. Don Carter's cowboy hat verse number eleven. Parkland Hospital. Hey a hat again. It makes the bracket
a hat. If the Landry hat doesn't push through, then if a hospital can't beat Don Carter's hat, then something's wrong with this world. It is the great MAVs logo hat, though it's also the hospital where Kennedy and Oswald died. Or we're taken to. I've never been to Parkland Hospital. It's badass it it's a great hospital. I'm gonna skip this one. Okay, that's not how we're doing. I'll only vote if you guys split. I'm gonna vote for Parkland. I'm gonna vote for Don Carter's cowboy hat because it's
it's my favorite MAVs logo. It's my favorite all time logo of all the teams too. It doesn't say MAVs logo on here. It says it's Don Carter's hat. Will find me the hat, but we know what it stands for, and we are the home of the MAVs. Give me Don Carter's cowboy hat to advance. I tried to vote for a hospital. Text has just given me s I ended up voting for Big tex So don't yeah, come at me, Yeah, come at me, Come at Barney Turner over
there, all right? Number three downtown Neiman's. I mean it's number fourteen, that big eyeball Main Street. This should be a clean sweep. Uh. What is Neimans. It's the shopping market, the oldest standing department store the city has its original location. Sell it to me because I'm I'm a candidate for you to win this. But I've never set foot in there. I don't belong in Neiman Marcus. It's one of the greatest places to go
during the Christmas season. It just reeks of mid century, old school downtown Dallas. It's uh, it's a very old school department store. It's in a freaking downtown building. It's incredible. Yeah, I don't know how well it does as far as business goes, because it's not entirely convenient to just Park and running. I'm gonna run into Nemens. It's it's an event. You gotta want to go there. And it's more on the higher end stuff. The toys are more in line with like an Fa Fao Schwartz type type
thing. But man, it's just got that vibe and it's it's the best place to go in Dallas for Christmas. That's one of the best places welcome for three years running. Yeah, for his his Santa Scream and Cry photo, which we have three in a row now. But I love it and it's I don't know, there's just something very old school and charming about you're voting for that. I'm definitelyvothing. I'm voting for the eyeball. It's our
bean. I do like eyeball being our bean. I do like using the eyeball as a punchline for locations in Dallas if any time a question is asked. But to show that I'm malleable and I love and listen to my friends, I'm gonna believe in Danny Bellis and I'm gonna choose Downtown Nemon's standard to advances standard. You're voting for an eyeball that's only been around for a number of years and it's just an eyeball. There's no lidy vanes. Number sel
Gotta be quick here, guys for timing, you can be quick. Number seven Deep el Them against number ten Sool Automotive. Okay, we'll take Deep elm right easy. Unless the Sool Automotive people are scheduling a meeting, we can switch that seven to a ten. That's a tentative win for Deep album as less a salesperson emails me otherwise. As the commercial says, though sometimes sometimes I go there just to hang out. The guy actually go of Sol
just to hang out. Uh. Number two Pegasus, it's number fifteen. Chili's easy, right. What's the Pegasus really ever done for me? Dude? It's Chili's all day landmark. I think it's cool, big part of our history. It's it's moved around. No, I think it's really really cool. Now it's at the Omni. I believe it was found in a just in a shed not long ago. But it's never once handed me a Southwestern egg roll. Like if you if you were to ever get a tattoo
that represented Dallas, you might get a two to one four. I'd be inclined to get a Pegasus, I might get the Chili's pepper. Then why don't you guys get a long horned ballroom logo on your arm? Dude, have you seen it? Because you got rid of the two and four too expensive? Give me Chili's. Chili's advances shocking. Actually, I don't feel good about that win. I was voting for Peggy. I feels like a buzzer beater. Chili's no clear, Chili's okay, I mean they do have
all uh they have Rollertown on tap. Pegasus doesn't have that. That's play with their walls, not ours. Coming up next, the breaking breaking news, not really terribly breaking, that's a big update. News was broken yesterday about the big sewage dump that PLANEO is responsible for and it all ended up in our lake. We got the latest on that and some follow up audio from the Vice Commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club whatever the hell it is,
but he had such a great voice. Fascinating audio stick around next
