Transcript

Downbeat on ninety seven to one the freak. All right, So the Emmys were the other night, and they had a little bit of a video tribute and it was the It was a minute long. It was the top seventy five moments in TV history. But they're not very They didn't show them all and it was real quick and kind of kind of odd, honestly, they didn't like spend a lot of time on it. But I found the list top seventy five most iconic moments in TV history, and I think it's kind

of interesting. And we'll discuss that here in a little bit. Well, we've learned that Mike McCarthy. We'll be meeting with Jerry tomorrow, maybe into Friday. If they have an all night or full bender, get drunk, really tell each other how they feel. The best honesty is after having a lot of Johnny Walker Blue and then you'll get the runs. But just you know, if you have a lot, if you have too much scotch, really get ready. I don't think I've ever had too much scotch. I

usually stop at one. What do the man enjoy it? I enjoy one and then move on to something else. Let's have a delicious Scotch today at ten thirty Friday. Do you want to have a serious a Scott shot it. I'll bring in my job. I've got some Johnny Walker blew it home, do you? Yeah? Your branch it's it's the best thing ever. But it's great. It's really smooth. Yeah, it's so smooth. We talked about the casinos that are me popping up around here, and you said,

build the Cube. I'm working in concert with the Texter who said build the Hexagon. And what did I say? You said that octagon? No, I said the Texagon. All it was this like two months ago when he did this. Yes, no, it's just three days now. So we build the Texagon in shape of Texas hot Dog. That's incredible. And then inside it could be the Cube if you want. That's the basketball facility inside the Texagon. Just I think of the size of the damn Pentagon.

You're talking but one side bigger. Yeah, well think about this too. Six sides goes in line with the six flags of Texas. The Texagon, the Texagon. Welcome to the Texagon break Ground now the Panhandle Convention Centers. All things you can do inside the Texagon to spice up. Maybe that's the name of a hotel inside inside the text, but the text is the pan Handle. Yes, the Panhandle Hotel. Find Kevin, can you have that

shopping? Make sure you make sure you get your gas lines inspected. Another textter suggested, how about the shark tank the size of a football field filled with water and actual sharks, and then hold underwater games and concerts. I mean, I mean, hey, then you can wear your underwater hat. A Soroy Industry's employee right there, back to work, idiot, You can wear your underwater hat then though, yeah her next safety your neck and neck

right off. Okay, so I'll I'll play one more thing from the Mark Cuban interview and then we'll transition in to the scuttle but for to day, some daily news and things like that. The last thing that I wanted to play and involves, let's it's a great question by the guys. Quite simply, will you guys be on bally next year? In terms of what we

do for streaming next year? It won't be Bally's unless something crazy happens like Amazon buys them or something like that, at which pointed beyond prime, you know, but it will change what we do probably won't be the same as what other teams have done. It'll it'll be we'll probably focus on getting the greatest reach as opposed to trying to maximize revenue. He knows, and and thank you, and it's not I'm sorry. It took three effing years well

of living in a local sports television desert. No one feels bad for like a billionaire, I know, but like I did always feel because I understand. I think we had him on the air back when this started and he kind kind of explained that it's a little bit out of his hands mm hmm, and the Rangers have said the same way, and like Mark Cuban's taking shots like oh I can't watch the mess and people are mad at him,

and he's like, it's truly out of my hands. And I know I normally kind of control a lot of things here, but this one's truly out of my hands and there's nothing I can do about it until this deal is up. And it's not like he's the one that just sat there and signed the deal with his hand. You know. There's a lot of sudd the Rangers the same thing, like, and I look, this has effected the Rangers offseason questions about is the Bally money coming in hasn't impacted them? Do

you have that in front of you again? That audio? Play it until he says, unless this happens, just in terms of what we do for streaming next year, it won't be Bally's unless something crazy, no crazy happens like Amazon buys them or something like that, at which pointed be on Prime. You know stop? I mean, do you know this morning? No, do we get breaking news one hour ago? Are you kidding me? I'm not kidding. Amazon will invest in Diamond Sports as part of bankruptcy restructuring

agreement. Okay, now this has been floated out there for a few weeks now the assorted tweets, Amazon is acquiring minority stake in Diamond Sports group Balleys, partnering with Diamond Sports, the owner of eighteen sports networks. Like an hour ago, Amazon essentially, I don't want to say, bought Diamond Sports, but they're keeping them afloat. That was Cuban yesterday's unless something crazy happens

like Amazon buys them and they go on Prime. And then this morning, one hour ago, Amazon invest in Diamond Sports part of bankruptcy restructuring agreement. Just because this is pipe and hot, let me read a little bit of this. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Diamond owns eighteen networks and the Valley Sports Banner. Those networks have rice to thirty seven professional teams, eleven baseball,

fifteen, NBA, eleven NHL. Diamond Sports has been in Chapter eleven proceedings in the Southern District of Texas since it filed for protection last March. They were facing a financial debt of eight point six to seven billion dollars. Terms of the agreement were announced by Diamond Sports on Wednesday. Amazon to date no comment remains subject to approve by the bankruptcy court. So Cuban told you

yesterday what was going to happen this morning? And I don't know if minority stake means jump to Amazon Prime. But what direction do you think Amazon Prime is going with their live sports coverage. I think what they'll do is for people in those markets that want to see those games, they'll probably give you a Prime Sports package. If you've already got Amazon Prime, you probably tack on another twenty bucks a month, thirty bucks a month, and then you

have access to all of those games. That's my speculation. Yeah, with this, then you can watch them on Prime. Sign me up with this deal. All in Diamond Sports has also reached a deal over the naming rights, so Bally can continue to use the name Bally through next year's baseball season.

After that, that naming rights deal will end, and it will end the partnership to name the regional sports networks Bally Sports, so it won't be called Bally after next year's baseball season, which just you know, because that's part of the confusing thing is like what is Bally? What you know? Again, this is just within the hour. So the deal with Amazon will let Americans buy live access to MLB, NBA, NHL games through Amazon Prime

video channels. The offer is only good for customers who live inside the market these teams playing, so you won't just immediately be getting like the NBA package or whatever teams are included in that, but you get your local teams with Amazon Prime, we'll get we'll get all of our local teams, and they

elevate the cost Amazon And this won't happen immediately. This is probably the next year thing that Amazon is investing to get streaming rights, right, yeah, yes, So if Bally is showing that it still will say Bally but it will be airing on I don't Amazon is probably the likelihood. This headline said this other one, Amazon invests in Bally Sports and will become the new streaming provider for Bally Sports direct to consumer streaming. So the timetable we don't know,

but essentially I'm quite sure. I'm will you know if we're reading it right, that all of our local sports teams sans Cowboys will be on Amazon Prime. Yeah, this is a it's only good for customers who live inside the markets the team's plan. So if you are a Washington Wizards fan, well you get questions about yourself anyways, but if you wouldn't meal look at the Wizards. So yeah, MLB NBA that it's so easy if you can just flip on your Amazon Prime app and watch. Well, this is great.

This is so good. I don't know when this will start or whatever. That is awesome. Will this mean that Jeff's skin wage checks will be signed by Jeff Bezos moving forward? Oh god, what if Bezos pays out a bonus to all of his employees that he's laid off. I'm seventy five k sense Wow, all right, that's that's some big break breaking news. Right. They're kind of broke it on the freak yesterday, if we're being honest, play that again? Is it yours? This is Mark Cuban yesterday.

Boo, will you be on Balley next year? I muted it here we go? Will you be on balley next year? In terms of what we do for streaming next year? It won't be Bally's unless something crazy happens, like Amazon buys them or something like that. It's amazing, Wow. I love it because when Skin talks MAVs or like you said, some we talked to some people sometimes. But Mark Cuban of course will sprinkle in the truth on things that he can't exactly say unless something crazy like that happens.

And this morning Amazon essentially has bought Ballet Sports and they're flipping everything over to Prime to Prime, and not even twenty four hours later, nostronomous cubes Yah knows what gonna happen. I wonder if he already he had to have already known. Yes, I think he already knew. He knew, And it's it's much like with all due respected Cuban when he says when they're like, Oh, where are you gonna build the thing? Where's it? I don't I don't know. It's not my he like, you know, you know

so much more than you're saying. But that's that's okay. Yeah, the chess player that knows good gravy. Sorry, there was a bra at on behind you that distracted the hell out of me. I'm okay. Much less like a great chess player that knows what he's going to Not only does he know what moves he's going to make three or four moves ahead, he probably knows the moves that you're gonna make. He's just not going to tell you. Yeah, would he might make a veiled reference at it. That's Mink

Cuban. I do have one other. I don't know how breaking this is. I mean, dude, the valid thing has been one of the biggest stories in this town over the last year because again, I think like half the Metroplas struggles to see. I think one of the reason why the Rangers World series still didn't feel right is because A it's the Rangers. Because B

we were not sharing this victory with the entire metricbooks. Because a lot of people didn't start watching the Rangers until the playoffs, right, hello, And there's a reason for that. It's one thing to watch the MAVs and set up your hokey ass stream illegal streaming system two to three times a week, but six times a week every night to hook that thing up and get it

and pop upen in the buns. To do it once a week, much less six That's why I didn't watch a lot of Rangers games throughout the regular season. Sure feel like a fraud of a fan. Well more quick And I don't know if this is in your schedle, but no, but I feel like it kind of applies to all this Cuban thing that we're talking about and knowing what's next and the chess moves that are head This is odd because just yesterday here's Dallas More News headline. Hard Rock to build one hundred and

eighty nine room hotel and conference center on Lake Techsoma. Yeah, it'll be part of a one billion dollar master playing community on the Oklahoma side of the lake. Do you remember that's the other side of we know things that you don't know. But why the hell would hard Rock Hotel and Casinos be building a monster north of the border if they didn't very strongly believe the opposite of

what we think human and the Adelson's no is an inevitability around here. It may also be a matter of time, because what you said, even if it doesn't get approved and casinos and whatever, it doesn't get built until twenty thirty five. Yeah, maybe hard Rock is still cool with that to have. Well, I don't know, and that's only eleven years of productivity I guess out of a billion dollar project. But that's very interesting to announce that.

Do you remember this yesterday? I mean I stumbled across this yesterday, but there was a big article that dropped last night about this, Like there was a little teaser for it yesterday, and a big article dropped about this last night. This is what this is what we're trying to talk about. This place is growing. So you're in a good spot if you're in DFW.

So. Fort Worth has a resort and spa operator called Canyon Ranch, and they teamed up with this New York entertainment company that owns Caesar's Palace in Vegas, and they own a bunch of other entertainment properties and they've built a long term partnership to to expand this brand called Canyon Ranch. Over the next decade. That's in the Fort Worth and they're gonna start a Canyon Ranch development in the hill Country. Texas is starting gonna start building these resort type places.

The one that they're developing in the Hill Country is going to be called Christie Canyon Ranch. Okay, real horny. This morning it was the Pride Can google her? Okay is the IMDb thing? Okay, let's see who do you think Christy Canyon is? Well, let's find out. No, look, I didn't mean to derail your story. Can we just need to find out what you're gonna get us in trouble. We're always in trouble. I'm not worried about it. Oh, Domination Nation, Sex, Secrets of

a Mistress Okay, Rolling and Raiming. Trust big enough to go through about five thousand titles if you play this game. So I don't she been around? Huh, it'll be here all week. She's more of the vintage category. Very much for you old guys. I'm just the baby boy. I want to play audio real quick. Todd Bowles, this is yesterday. This is a press conference for the Bucks. By the way, Todd Bowles is the guy who I kind of go. I forgot he's an NFL head coach.

You got. You just kind of always seem he's quiet, did never say anything, kind of had a job at a couple spots didn't really work. He's the Bucks head coach, and he's in the final eighty. The game is in Detroit. Okay, have you seen this? Well, I don't know. The game is in Detroit. Okay, listen to this question. You're looking forward towards Detroit. The weather's been a factor in some of

the playoff games, even for the most prepared teams. Today it's thirteen in Detroit, which doesn't compare to some of the temperatures, to any special plans to acclimate the team to not only endure, but perform in those comfort temperatures should you face them in Detroit. You do know we play indoors right the other dome. I don't no nothing planned or indoors. And we only have to be outside for twenty seconds getting off the bus, going under the thing,

so we'll be okay. Okay. He looked at it the whole time. He did not move his face. He went he just let it happen. I know that feeling. You do that feeling that bad, I mean, that's bad adjacent. Okay, there are so many levels. That is the bottom level. She doubled down so many times and said Detroit the red in that room as that question even started, and everyone knew that's all I knew. That's how I felt when I didn't know the fumbling out of bounds

rule. When we had Blandino on a couple of weeks ago, that was good. A few years back, I started kind of looking around online to try to find an old four truck, like an F one hundred. It never really had any luck. That is nine minutes of audio is Danny's secondary one of three of one. I was still learning that this isn't long form radio. No, they want our sentences to be five words, Max. I'd like to move on. I like this reaction from Todd Bowles's he's he's,

I mean, he's he's like letting her go. He's staring at her and he's trying to be nice and he gets perform and those kind of fridge temperatures. Should you pay in Detroit? You don't know? We play indoors right and the other a dome? You know, I actually know she didn't you know that poor girl was on our way in thinking what the hell am I gonna ad? Oh, maybe I'll get this one, and she just

checked the weather in Detroit, yeah, and went for it. That'll be uh Saturday, that'll be Sunday at two, and that will be indoors indoors. I know anybody was wondering. Yeah, we play indoors and Detroit so uh more questions. Now have you seen what this? Twenty seconds of cold weather? That's really said, we get off the bus, we go on to the things twenty seconds. I think we'll be okay. I could probably

wear shorts and be finecause we play it. Just keep moving. You know, I probably knew to be fine, no frostbite, no worries, probably wouldn't even shrivel up it because you know, we play indoors in Detroit indoors. Adding Todd Bowles to the Dingou characterist along with Barney Rubble and Jodie Foster. Okay, let's go back uh to this. Have you all seen this buffalo story buffalo bills or the animal buffalo bills? I don't know, Kevin, thank you, I'm Kevin. That's Danny Mike. We have JJ producing

today and you can also leave us a talk back. Maybe we'll check those nine thirty five. It's the red microphone button on the iHeartRadio app. That's a mid segment reset. Bought a bang, bought a boom, Suck it. The Bills are on a big winning streak really since the story came out that their coach was like, hey, man, if we just follow the tactics of the nine to eleven hijackers will be fine. Now that was a speech he gave in twenty nineteen, but that story broke and they hadn't lost

since that story broke in a big week. There's a thing going on. It is a bit of a conspiracy. They have a big pit and Mike, you know this because you went to the Dolphins Bills game earlier in the season. They're building a new stadium high Mark Stadium. Correct, And there's the stadium that they play in, or they play in high Marks were playing him Mark Stadum, but new stadium by the way, that sta outdoor.

Todd, good luck this weekend. Todd Bowles against Dan Campbell, the fiery guygainst Todd Bowles, who doesn't talk, but construction right around the stadium. There a lot of you can kind of tell yeah, you can see it right to the west of the stadium. There's a huge pit. If anyone needed that info, people didn't need it. It's providing color, Kevin, thank you. There's a big pit there right almost like on Parks and w

Reck. Well, that first game of the winning streak that week, someone fell into that pit, and I remember doing the story on that a fan got drunk fell into the pit. Well, now, because they won each week, the narrative here, whether it's true or not, is that a member of Bill's mafia, one of their fans, is sacrificing themselves before each game by taking I've tumbled down a huge construction pit, and they continue to

win. And they did another one. There is a taking an intentional tumble Twitter account and this is this is so wild to me that this is how this is getting around. It's getting around on TikTok. But here's the tweet or what the tweet says. Uh, it's basically someone who said claims that they work at a in an emergency like an emergency room, and that they Now what's not great about this, I would say is that the problem is

that they've used a name that if you look it up. Jerome Silverton, I'm sorry, Jerome Silverman, which is the character one of Oh I'm Sorry, which is Gene Wilder's real name in real life, Jerome Silverman. So that makes me think it could be a fraudulent tweet. You know, it's someone making something up. And I'll use Gene wye real name an incredible alias. But the idea is that they have they're they're sacrificing themselves each game.

One person is. And this guy on TikTok's like has a tweet from a person who works at the emergency room and he's like, I'm doctor Jerome Silverman. And yes, the media hasn't reported it yet, but I do know of a circumstances where a fan did sacrifice himself, fell down the pit, was injured, but he said he did it so the Bills will win, and they've continued to win ever since. You do deep diving. No media reports on it, TikTok Gossip. I typed in Jerome Silverman was trying to

find who this is. I was trying to find him at the Erie County Medical Center. Nothing there. Couldn't find who are the you know, who are the doctors, the resident physicians. You keep running into drum Silverman being the actual name of actor Gene Wilder. But how awesome is that each week one fan is taking a tumble. They had to go down the huge pit and just roll themselves down the giant pit. The videos are funny. They haven't lost yet. Does Bills Parking Lot have the worst security in America?

Dude, they don't care. I mean they were on a snow bank last week, like a twelve foot snow bank, doing a four person synchronized jump into a flaming table. It's incredible and it's like, well, hell's wrong with you people? And none of the people were Bam majera. No, they're just they're all used to paying to fall bills fans though, they're used to pain, so it's not a big deal. Interesting story to continue tracking here, though, are is someone going to fall down in the pit this

week? Or is it all misinformation? I don't really know, but there's that there just coming up next. You should get Gen Wilder on. I will get Jean the Dead Geene Wilder. I'll have him on the air tomorrow. We will have Dave Campo though, former Cowboys coach at eight forty tomorrow. So that's you know, that's as about as coach as you can get to Gene Wilder's campo. Coming up next. What was the most iconic television moment of all time? We'll tell you next time. Nice seven won the free
