This is the downbeat. I'm ninety seven to one the Freak. Hope you're having a good day. I know it's back to workday for some of you. We'll get through it together. I want to remind you we start at six am every day the downbeat. I'm Kevin Turner for Danny Bayliss here, Mike Siroy gone today. Got a lingering illness. See if we can get rid of that. No, he wanted to be here today. Talk to his cohort, Christina Ray of the Ben and Skin shout in the hallway and
she was like, he feels so bad. Well, he'll be back tomorrow. So what I do want to say this, I did something over the week or by the way, we'll tell you the Twitter and Instagram winner and just a few for the for the MAVs tickets. We start at six am every single day. We podcast every single segment on the iHeartRadio app and that does transport to other platforms Spotify, Spreaker, et cetera, where you get
your podcasts for the most part. So if you want to hear our first discussion on the Cowboys at seven, maybe our epsteinless discussion, our thoughts on MAVs and Mark Cuban more Cowboys stuff all that. Well, if you just tuned in just now and missed us having Dean Blandino on to explain the debacle, the referee debacle at the end of the Cowboys Lions game, among other things, scorching scorching hot officiating opinions with the great Dean Blandino. That was
just at nine o'clock. You may want to listen to that and please do that and tell your friends. I guess you know, share it and do all that type of stuff. We start six am every day. Join us tomorrow we have a fun time. Put up a poll. Should I do the Gypsy Rose story? Yes or no? Tomorrow? Now that I'm reminded of who this is one, I think eight o'clock tomorrow. Did you think
it was funny that they hit seed Lamb with a drug test? After he yes, thought that thirteen catches for two or twenty seven yards, He's like, really, bro, sim you great Kelvin Beacham place for the Cardinals and uh, He's like, I've been in the league for twelve years and all of a sudden you want to test me? As he posted his yeah, I love the players now posting their drug test memos. I love the game. Yes, that's pretty great. I think on CD's Instagram stories he goes
waste no time huh at NFL. So uh that's ah, that's all cool. Now. I did a little bit of a pool, a couple of pool little contest notes here because the Twitter and Instagram giveaway great. I had a little pool one of the first days off. Uh, you know, yeah, I just put out there. Sometimes you see stuff about a story and you're like, God, I really want to talk about the story with someone. Uh, especially if the people around you are just always annoyed by
you, so they don't want to hear you talk. So, uh, you better not be referring to me man. No, not well maybe, but I was more talking about on the home front. I get that. But I get out of those A lot of people who wanted to be the Mike and Danny Show, and Katine said yes to shut up, Like, I get it. I get it. A lot of people are like, I know Mike and Danny, well why is the down beat the Kevin Show?
Now? I get it. I get it, y'all. But I posted because I'm a good man and I believe in doing a charitable thing. He's a good man. You know what good men don't do. They don't tell you that they're good men. Okay, I'm a guy. I saw there's an update on the story of Tampa Bay Ray shortstop Wander Franco. It'saday ten year, big deal with them. I think one hundred and eighty million
dollars something like that. A big deal with them. Get that money player and he, if you remember, was dismissed from the team in August. Good player star dismissing the team in August because of allegations weird that he had an improper relationship with an underage girl or a relationship with an underage girl. The from the Islands, Dominican Republic. So it was then put out there that he was a no show to his there's a warrant and it was like
show up here or we're gonna come get you. And it was reported that he did not show up, so he was. It basically turned into a man hunt for a star shortstop in baseball. And I think I tweeted something very I don't know, just very Kevin. Let's start the Wander francopool. If you can name the day and hour that he gets arrested, I'll give you a gift card. And people put in their guesses and it was great.
It was fun. We're going a little gambling action going on. I've got no dog in the hunt, but it was great to see these guesses. When are we going to arrest this alleged pedophile? Alleged? Yesterday he was arrested in the Dominican Republic, and you know what, he was arrested for fleeing investigators, for not cooperating. You made it, you framed it as it might be an unrelated charge. Yeah, they're investigating for the inappropriate
relationships heat but that is what he got. That's so he's got two lawyers. It's funny. There's a picture they got of them as they finally got arrested. There's a picture of them going through the paper. The two lawyers are putting on Donald Trump mugshot, mean face, while Wonder Franco's smiling at the camera. Okay, now, the allegations are very loose. You don't
see a lot of concrete details. Besides, it's underage girl. And then maybe it's more I'm more interested in who won this gift card that you were giving away. Shout out to two winners. Instead of a gift card, we settled for Venmo and I sent him fifty bucks each on Venmo because I'm a man of my work. Somebody actually guessed today. They guessed New Year's Day, which is yesterday and ten am, and that one of them guess
ten oh five am. One of them guess ten oh one am. Sean was one of them, is named Sean, a good listener of the show on the station. And the other guy's name I think was Tyler. But they were the only two guys who guessed New Year's Day, so I gave it to them, even though their hours might have been off. And you know, or we're getting these details. So I've been about them fifty bucks and I just think pools are fun. You know what, Kevin, you
are a good guy. Well it's not so much that it's it's that I'm a man of my word. But it also got me thinking. And I know, I you know, for all the show, everyone out there listening on this show. Danny and Mike and I we went and met over the holidays just to discuss a few things show related. Is really just to have a beer and get out of the house, I think yeah. But I I said, guys, can we do a dead pool? I want to
do a dead pool? And I know doctor Laura Slessinger says that that's sick and that you should give your money back if you're ever at a if you're ever playing in a dead pool. But why couldn't you do a dead pool in this day and age? Is that too? I think we've gone away from the uh, you know, just everything that's happened in the world. People are getting offended for no reason or for some reasons. You can get offended. But I think dead pools are fun. And the reason I think
deadpools are fun is because there's a great point system in play. One hundred is what you start out with, and then you subtract the age of the person. So if Lindsay lohand were to kick the bucket this year, you get you a good sixty five points. She's not forty yet, is she? Oh? She's probably getting close? Oh, non say, she's thirty six, thirty seven? Thinking about her, though she's not on the brink
of dying, is we might have thought that she was? You know back then she's thirty seven, she's closer to dying at twenty one minus thirty seven, you get sixty three points. That's good. But if you were to guess, you know, Dick van Dijke would be what he your ten draft picks, or Tom Wilkinson, you'd get five. Tom Wilkinson, the character actor who just passed away at seventy five, Tom smothers of this smother brunch. I just you'd get eight points, which is not a big hole.
But hey, but it's a game where you could easily have no points. Uh huh. Maybe you guess NASCAR legend Cale Yarborough Dad at the age of eighty four, sixteen points ain't nothing to scoured at. But then if you can kind of play the field and know your personnel. I hate to say it, but somebody that might have had a reasonable pick in, somebody like Mac Miller. Yes, you know, I hate it. I miss mac Miller, not of us want anyone to know. I think that's clear.
But also, but we're gonna benefit from it financially if they do. Maybe you can't or not have to have a for a phone case or whatever crap you come up with. Maybe a guest the lady who was the voice of Mama Coco on the movie Coco, she was ninety ten points. Do you get a ten pointer? I just I'm asking, I guess is it insensitive? Yeah? It's incredibly Why couldn't we have a station wide Deadpool draft ten host ten picks each? We have one hundred people on the map, Okay,
and that is a fun thing. And if you lose, then you have to come up here. New Year's Eve, No. Twenty twenty four, that's here. You have to come do the New Year's Eve. You have to do eight pm to midnight on New Year's Eve. When I'm working at Chipotle on New Year's Eve of twenty twenty four, Yeah, I'll come up here and do an hour of radio. Then what do you think an hour? I need four? Okay? Yes, what do you think of
my concept here? Ben? I like it. I but what if instead the loser has to do a hul cathon, Oh, the Hulkathon, twenty four hours with the Hulk on Christmas? You have to miss your whole family Christmas. You gotta do the full twenty four hours starting Christmas Eve at ten pm through Christmas Day to ten pm. My god, oh my god. I'm just saying. If we can't do it up here, and I don't know if we we'd be allowed to do it or not. But if we can't, if we can get all the shows together, stop calling me scam
spam, calls killing me. But if we can get the ten host up here, ten rounds, you each get ten picks. There's one hundred people on the board. You print it out on the Excel sheet. You have the age on there. The point system is very clear. One hundred minus their age is your points. Why are you choose to a dead pole? But why do you choose who the hundred people are? Well? You draft? Yeah, but I'm saying you you mentioned there's one hundred people, Okay,
but you can choose anyone you want. You can choose anyone in the world. Yeah, yeah, Well it needs to be a celebrity. Though that's not what level say celebrity. You know, you can't be like, can we pick somebody that's like staff here, right, Chuck Cooperstein you you were talking about taking Coop yeah and Coops sixty. But that's a celebrity. Yeah, absolutely, But it's not like Denzel Yeah, like I might pick strip Mall Steve just because of the lack of sleep and the high level of
stress and the epilepsy. That man appears to be yea under at all times. You can see a strobe light and hit his head in a minute. Done, done, Ford, there's sixty two or sixty three points for you. Because he's thirty seven and he loves going to raves. And you know how many strobe lights are at raves. I mean the guys in the bathroom doing a line of blow. The strobe light comes on, he slips and falls, hits his head on the commode head. He's young. The doctor
told him stop going to raves. You have epilepsy, and I can't help it. It's my culture man, and he is. He was voted most likely on the staff to have a toilet related death. Yes, although I should be you because of the one time you broke your toilet. It's so weird fall asleep on my foot. You broke your foot or a broken foot, and I tried to stand up on it. I was in there. I like to stand there so long my extremities all fall asleep. I like
my wife to running there and give me CPR and all that stink. No, but I I And so it was not abnormal to stay in the bathroom so long that a foot fell asleep. But it I as I stood up on the foot, it was well, it was all it was the broken foot. And so I had not yet redeveloped the well. It not yet redeveloped the ligaments that had been torn. And so I felt a lack of stability, and I went to grab like the counter as I fell back, and I just missed it. Oh man, And he fell on the toilet,
fell backwards into the water bank. The tank tank, the tank. It just I it didn't completely crush it to crumbs, but I hit it. I hit it. I hit it, and I was like, oh no, this isn't good. I heard a kink and then all of a sudden I heard flowing water. Oh no, gushing out of that water reservoir. And it was this post flush. I prayed to freak Jesus, No, it was pre flush. Oh, keep in mind that's the clean water, the drinkable water. Yeah, because it's the water reservoir, not the
bowl. I get. I know how toilet works, well I don't. I didn't know, because I was all I was panicking about. Was all right, man. First of all, it kept trying to fill like I heard like, it just kept trying to fill that water reservoir because it was empty, and so I had to turn off the water, okay, and it flooded my bathroom floor. But then my whole focus was how do I get rid of these turds? It is the ceramic Slaughter of twenty twenty three.
It won Dallas Observer Murder Mystery of the Year to get out a lot of a ward for your solution was to call Carrie. I've prayed to Freak Jesus, dear Lord in heaven, please deliver me an iHeart Savior, and he brought you, brought you a fresh new turlet speaking out. Yeah, Wait, is he out there to take a look out at the lawn? Is he here, Freak Jesus? One of our listeners, Carrie is out on the lawn in a lawn chair by himself. I'm assuming unless that's not
him, that's got to be him. I man, I assume it's him. U clam chowder signing here. Oh that was my gift to myself for Christmas. Well, people say it's better to give than receive, and I think you can do both. That's great because a lot of people don't know when to holler, do you we wouldn't get canceled or you probably well,
that's always in the cards. Feeling more so by the minute. But are we uh like, that's not too cultural kind of canceled, that's too that's that that's not too culturally insensitive to have a little fun, right, Yeah, I think it's in sense. Danny and I are appalled by you and your idea is, Kevin, we could come up with the if y'all are not down with the punishment, I think it's a great punishment. You have to cancel whatever New year plans that you had come up here and do well,
we'll say nine to midnight on New Year's Eve. If you lose the deadpool, whoever has the lowest amount of points, and that might be multiples of you, because hell, all ten of us may have z points. Can you choose yourself? No, and you can't kill anyone? Yeah, because somebody just texted it in so Roy is so competitive in these things.
I could see him actually killing someone last minute to win. Someone also picked skin and I was like, come on, man, come on, hey man, let's get serious, hey man, let's get serious, Kevin. Now people are sitting in pictures of Ben's toilet. There's a lot of bad things happening on the text thing, but thank you for participating. I do want to give away or before we find out it's coming up with bensins on hold. If Free Jesus is out there, can we just let him come
in? Does he has kitty pass our security scrutiny to actually come inside? Man, I don't even know it's allowed. He might be able to like do middays with us today. I'm fearing we're gonna have to wear suits to work soon. The doctor will s two on Twitter is your winner? The Doctor will s two you're the winner. Uh, I'll send you a message on Twitter and ig it's at fletch dot TCB. It's like Fletcher be the name at fletch dot tc be on Instagram. Here are the winners of your
MAVs tickets for next Tuesday night. Thank you for participating everyone and spreading the word for a lot of fun. Then we'll do it live on the air tomorrow. Uh, finding you it's more fun on the air than doing off the air. But we're trying to grow the things he tried to rush out. It's a great idea. Now that was for MAVs tickets, right yep. So for our giveaway today, we're gonna give away a pair of MAVs
tickets every day ourselves. Hell yeah. What we're gonna do is, at some point today we are going to tell listeners that could call in with their New Year's resolutions, okay, and whoever has the best one getting a para maver tickets. Fantastic. It's a great idea. That's a great idea. Fantastic listener involvement online and on the air. Now, boom boom boom. Let me hear you say, way oh tomorrow so Roy will be back.
