You're listening to the down beat. I'm so excited for food Court at nine o'clock. Put down beat. I'mkevin Turner with Danny Baylis, Mike Siroy, Jay, Jay Jackson, Dingo, This morning News for you in thirty minutes. One more on that, Travis Kelcey audio be kind of fun. Yeah, good lord, we're gonna revisit that for sure. That deserves Oh my god, it's beautiful. I would not eat those breakfast foods breakfast bars you
have in front of you, fellas, don't get full. Yeah, yeah, you're don't wanna leave plenty of room for the food court at nine o'clock. Okay, food card. Should I not go look in the refrigerator? Just just sit there and do your job today, Damn dude. Don't do it anywhere. Okay. There's food everywhere and you just don't know it. Okay, just sit there, man, We're all surrounded by food. So we're gonna do now. Do you want to if you want to carry over,
You're three minutes on Kyrie. If you want to do that now, we have time to do it now, we can do it right now. Let's do it right now. I posted by the way I posted this. I think I put it on the freak TikTok too. I put him on my accounts Aunt Katie Funtwitt's the little hesitation move that he pulled on Wimby incredible and then made them behind it. Yeah, and I couldn't even see what that looked like on TV. I had the side view of that. It was awesome, but I was like, holy crap. And I happened to
be filming it. It was nuts. And he talked about that with skin right, Yeah, he real quickly described it. He said he thought I was gonna go up and under, but I went to the middle. Yeah, you know, because this traditional up and under off the backboard, but he instead went toward the foul line and kind of went up and over to burn Wemby, which has got to be impossible when he's seven to four with tree branches. There was a couple of things that happened to on the bench,
just to let you know, like how they feel about Kyrie. I know you've seen this cause you're a game pretty ViOS but like it's interesting to see the interactions for all the questions or about Kyrie. This thing went six and ZH when Kyrie got back to all right, Kyrie made a finger roll
and it was one of those things when Mavron will run. And then the Spurs took a time out, and again I don't know what was shown on TV, but Luca is leading the leading the charge off the bench and they're all holding up the finger roll motion, just the right hand in the air and they all and they all kind of did like a little handshake, yeah, kind of and it was just like every and it carry did another thing and Jade and Hardy and a couple of guys on the bench were mimicking what
he just did because they were just like in awe of what he did. Luca's been visibly more warm towards Kyrie, right, and it's genuine because you can tell in sports when like a magic moment happens, that instant reaction is the real reaction, you know, you don't think about it. And Kyrie was pumped after one and he's pretty emotionless, but he did like a double fist like ah, you know, the yell that you don't see too often,
And that is sort of what I wanted to say. So in life, I mean, I would think most people try to do this, but you hear about people, right, and I try to be very careful only
to judge on like my own personal interactions. Like you can hear somebody he's the biggest a hole in the world, and I'm like, all right, hey, good to meet you, you know, and then I try to I judge him like that, no matter what you and if you tell me something you can apply to what I guess you're overall thoughts about a person are, but if they're a kind person, a nice person, that is far more valuable to me. You know. I'm like, all right, that's
what I think of them. And I want you to try to do this because if you only judge Kyrie Irving from the minute he got here and how he's been since we've met him as a Dallas maverick, not from what anything you've heard coming in or any of the stories anything, this is like the most likable athlete I've ever been in a city with. Like if you really don't just cut it all out, I mean, he's perfect in I think
every way. And it's so good that almost last night, when I was watching him with skin, I was like, is this guy bs and us or is he just truly happy for the first time and a really long time. I got to think it as the MAVs organization of overall incredibly like nurturing one, a comfortable one for all players. And it's just being demonstrated by Kyrie's you know, how he's acted or been since he got the dude seems so happy, so damn likable, so good on the floor, incredible as
a player. He gave Skin the bro handshake and backslap hug last night after the interview. Dude, like what bill of goods were we sold on Kyrie? And now I know he said some odd things and he might go down some wormholes, and but I don't know if he got painted with a brush that was so incorrect, it's hard to get that paint off of him. And then look at the dude. But as far as what he's done,
he's been here, he's he's perfect. I've never seen another athlete in an interview act like that to the guy in a suit that's talking to him.
Yeah, that looked like they were great friends. Yeah, and let's go back to we had Machine on our buddy, Machine who works for the MAVs, like way up in the paths Orc, but we had him on what four months ago, five months ago, and he was talking about when they went to the preseason trip to Dubai and how Kyrie was have his family down there, but he was like going out of his way to shake hands and meet like employees of the mouth, like go I have breakfast at the hotels,
like going out of his way doing all the extra stuff that they needed to be done on the website and digital and like like truly like asking, yeah, what do you do? How well have you been doing this? Like getting to know you. I liked even it's a whole thing to write
by the bench whatever. But I was there a few weeks ago with the seats for Soldiers Night, and he was hurt not playing, but there was a couple of times where you saw him going up and just tapping it up with Soldiers and just kind of kind of talking to him like he might just be a great dude. And he seems like an incredible Dudely reputation among NBA players you know that have played against him or with him, his reputation preceded him he ever got. Yeah, and they just they all love him.
Yeah, So we do cash my brother does in game entertainment for the MAVs. Right, So we have a day in preseason where we have to get everything set up and all the players come in and we have to get them to do some wild stuff and put some dumb outfits on and say some weird
things they don't understand, and it's always like a little nerve wracking. But when Dirk was here, we always had Dirk, and Dirk liked doing it, yeah, and he's sort of set the tone, and the other guys would they'd be waiting and they'd see Dirk with some wig on and some sparkly jacket or whatever bit he's doing. But you know, Dirk's not here anymore. And Luca is a lot more reserved than Dirk. But Luca tends to
do he just won't ham it up like Dirk Wood. But anyway, this year Kyrie, right, and we're all like, what do we do for Kyle. We were like scared, like we're gonna say, hey, put this whatever mask on and he's gonna look at you, make this, make this certain facial expression. You've got to get all those little still shots to do the head superimposed over movie clips, yes, you know exactly, And you got to get a ton of different expressions and then and then some actual
live action stuff and we're like, what do we do? You know, like what if he just looks at us like because we're scared because he's just this personality and you don't I don't know because we were lied to or the media lied I don't know. He made a mistake and it got blown up, yes or misunderstood. I did a lot of research on things that Kyrie likes because we often put them into movies, you know, And I found two of his favorite movies are The Greatest Showman. He liked musicals, and
he likes Whiplash really yeah, and I love Whiplash. So there's a I don't even know if it's aired, but there's a Kyrie video of Whiplash where uh JK. Simmons, right, yeah, he's like faster, you know, and then they show Kyrie cutting the basket faster. You know, it's just kind of cool faster. But Cash said that when he got there,
you know, he's like Kyrie was, you know, he's busy. You know, it's a it's a difficult day for players, you know, they don't they're not used to doing that and jumping in that many directions and posing and doing all this crowd signing autographs all day too. It's a hard for some of them their most hated day and they get tired. But Cash just was like I was nervous, but I talked to him, and as soon as I mentioned whiplash or something that he had known that we did the research
on, He's like you could almost see a switch flip. And Kyrie looked right into my eyes and it was almost like intimidating because Kyrie's he cares what you're saying. And he was like he stared right in my eyes and he was listening so intently to what video we're going to try to do, and he's like, I got it, I love it, I'm in And he's just so genuine and it disarmed Cash, and you know, for the video shoot part, it was just kind of interesting interaction considering we were nervous,
and I think that represents a lot of MAVs fans. Was like, you're nervous, Like, Okay, we know you're good, but who are you? But since the guy has been here perfect, the only question you could say is injuries. That's the only thing. And his injuries are all valid stuff getting stepped on. Yeah, you missed three weeks and you get stepped on your ankle like it happens. Yeah, you know the thumb thing, like, all right, if you can't shoot, if your thumb's not actively,
he's back and it's on. Yeah, there's good, good energy right now, and then your little break figure this out. Let the new guys unpack their bags. Gaffer can get his dogs a place to live, get the bed cobbler in there, get the bed cobber in here, and get you have fifteen foot bed. Right, you have to sleep diagonal every night. Go twenty go MAVs. We're at the home of the MAVs. Just four minutes. Next Thursday is the next MAVs game. I'm kind of obsessed
with Kyrie, is what I'm saying. And he also looks like the coolest dude. Yeah, he's bad, really handsome, but he doesn't care about the Grays coming in. It's great. You should go watch Uncle Drew over the break. You know what I might, I might uh JJ, crank me up here. We're gonna do this. It's time to check the tape here. Okay, I've never heard that before. We'll say it express you by Rodney Anderson dot com, NBC five. Let's see here Tuesday four,
it's a post by someone by the name of de Anthony Taylor. Headline North Texas man offering cash reward for return of missing monitor lizard. Well, that's quite interesting. That's a good headline. But the headline on Twitter is different than the headline on the website because if you go to the headline on the website, you will see a man in North Texas and a radio station are offering a cash reward and two tickets to a Dave Matthews concert to anyone who
finds his missing large reptilian pet with a reptile emoji. Okay, first of all, take us out of the equation real quick. A man and a radio station are offering a cash reward and two tickets to Dave Matthews concert.
Two's tickets to Dave. That's amazing. What what if the person that stole the lizard, I ain't going to that, or if they loved it, then they're in a real conundrum conundrum now because they'd already be if they really love him, they'd already be warehouse fan club members who would have already had pre sell ticket opportunities. I don't know what any of that means. I do, Bud, I kind of do you know? Okay, So here's
what the article says. It's the same thing that the headline said. A man in Texas Tray Smoke of Crowley is still searching for his rough neck monitor lizard Dino disappeared February nine. Uh, he has his Facebook post, you know that he had put out and then the Fort Worth Star Telegram picked it up. And that's when I saw that. On Sunday, right before the Super Bowl. I texted him and got him on the show. He called
in the show last segment on Monday. Well, the article goes on to say the pet owner posted that he was offering three hundred dollars, and after speaking with ninety seven to one the Freak, the radio station added two hundred dollars plus the pair of concert tickets. Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Dino is urged to contact Trey at Joseph smoke one at gmail dot com, call ninety seven to one the Freak or Crowley Animal Control. Yeah, any
of the big three. I love how they're looking for this lizard, big old lizard. The third out of the three people that they need to call, is the person, the entity that's actually probably going to do the most for this situation. Number two on it is the radio station. What happens if you call the radio I mean, we're just gonna go ahead and transfer to Trey or animal Control. We're not gonna be able to help you much.
Hold on, like you found what I mean said JJ, Christine and groups have a lot on their plate now, a lot, and it's really in just a twelve hour thing, not really a twenty four hour service that we're offering either because we don't have overnight board ops. It's all you know. But if we hold on, if we if they contact us right and they're like, dude, we got I found the Monitoliza to have it right, we don't tell anyone. Then we contact Trey. Then we get the
two hundred dollars award or the three hundred dollars award from Trey. Yeah, and then we say we'll contact for the other two hundred. Anyway, we end up making a hundred bucks yes, and keep the tickets, and we get to keep the day of tickets which will give away tomorrow. It gives an entirely new meaning to monitor the phones. Interesting once another reason two to follow them. At ninety seven on the freak accounts at my award right now,
I put up a flash giveaway. You said before the show not to do you bad jokes, and then you did one that was a Sabrina level joke when okay topping, did we actually say that I don't remember the look the money? Yes? No, Well this is why we're checking the tape. This is very important. I was just saying I put up a flash giveaway to give away Dave Matthews tickets. If you guess how many points the
mav scored last night? Did you get a winner? Yeah? Two winners who guessed the guess did and the earliest one they both guessed it at one o six pm. They got it in And did they get the exact score? Yeah? Your kids one hundred and sixteen points? Wow, not the exact story. How many points will the MAVs score tonight? It's easy, you know, but two got the first one to get it, and two guys got it at one o six pm. Point is flash giveaways happening?
Followed the accounts. Now, let's go to Monday nine five am. We're interviewing Trey from Crowley who lost his monitor lizard, and a little added context. We'd kind of been making just a little fodder that I won a thousand dollars at Choctaw over the weekend playing black jack, because I did. People do win at Choctaw, but it's kind of a joke. Oh, big high roller, you're one one thousand dollars. I have a side mission to give away the thousand dollars at Kevin won because I lost a little bit of
money and I'm mad. So I will continue to do this, by the way, until I get to a total of one thousand. You'll get it back when Tiger wins the Genesis this weekend. Now, keep in mind, protocol is that if you are given money to gamble with, whatever you win, you'd pay back that person plus you play them double back. So you were given one hundred dollars free to gamble, and it's common courtesy that if somebody does that, then you give them their hundred plus the hundred, and
then you keep the rest. So in reality, you only won eight hundred. Buff you'll hear in the clip why I'm not okay with this, and this is why we're checking the tape of why the hell we're in the news at NBC five. Here, I'm hoping somebody hears this and and notices that somebody has something that they didn't before and possibly puts the boyd out. I can get my animal back, all right, Trey, we're here, were
pulling for you. Come on, Crowley, let's help find this thing and we'll offer a para Dave Matthews tickets to anyone's whose information leads to the safe return of Dino the rough Neck Monitor Lizard. I've actually stopping it there because unauthorized off the cuff. We're just going anyone who has the information that leads the return of Dino. Here's two tickets to date Matthews, Yes today,
Yeah, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee Dave Matthews. And we'll offer a para Dave Matthews tickets to anyone's whose information leads to the safe return of Dino the rough Neck Monitor Lizard. I've actually, you know, put on my Facebook page as well. Man, I'm willing to basically pay for the lizard again. It's that he has and man, I've got a three hundred dollars reward okay. Available. From the emotion in your voice, it
sounds to me like Dino is irreplaceable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know I've I've raised this animal for about a year now, you know, I feel like I took him on out of a bad situation. All right, Well, three hundred bucks and honestly, I'll speak for Kevin. He just won a thousand dollars at chalk Taw and he'd like to add two hundred to that to make it five hundred even. Oh wow. So thank you Kevin, bus you guys, and thank you hell yeah, Trey,
no problem. I mean thank Kevin. Okay, hear me fight that, come on, man, Yeah, he just realizes what a dick he's gonna look like. He's said, no, no, I'm not giving you another two hundred oars. You can take Matthews Diggins. I want to hear Kevin Kevin's groaning. I didn't hear it. I had to fight this or to that to make it five hundred even. Oh wow. So thank you Kevin, bus you guys, and thank you hell yeah, Trey, no problem, I mean thank Kevin for real. Good to have you on,
man. I wish you the best. That is that's tough. That's true. I feel bad man. If I lost Simon, I will not rest. There's no amount of money. There goes Trace Smoke from Crowley missing Dino the rough Neck Monitor Lizard. If you see Dino, just go out and yell Dino. I know almost asked, would he respond to his name? Yeah, I don't. You missed your chance now, but that's sweet of you, Kevin fo Well, okay, we have birthdays and budget in about
seven minutes. I have a dishwasher or an oven. I would like to hear a celebrity giving money to strangers. I'd like to hear them. Now you're getting a lizard. Here's birthdays. Okay. So that while you were bitching, you were like, oh, I don't know, he was saying, God bless you for that. Yeah, while you were complaining, he's
wishing that God blesses you. Now. Three days ago, Tracey Smoke put out a post thank you to Harriet Ramos over at Ford Star Telegram for taking interest and using your platform over at the Star Telegram to help me get the word out. Ninety seven won the Freak. Now it's to do an interview with me tomorrow morning on the radio. About it. I'm overwhelmed and so thankful how much help and interest to received form the communit. Okay, Then
the next day after we interviewed him, so not. This is his Facebook post, the guy who's missing the lizard tray probably listening right now. So ninety seven, when the Freak reached out about my situation, there was an article posted and start telegramming about Dino and they took an interest. I had an opportunity to interview on the air with them and mention I'm offering a three hundred dollars reward. They're matching two hundred dollars and two tickets to Dave Matthews.
Please if you know anything, reach out. Yeah, And that offer holds. It does hold. It absolutely holds. Three hundred from Trey, two hundred from Kevin, and two Dave Matthews tickets from me. Yeah, well at the station. Yeah, but you put your name on it, okay, from me, like you have them, like you bought him. You know they're gonna be lawns, you know either way. That's just funny. Last night when I saw that, I mean, I was just I
couldn't stop laughing because it is the dumbest headline. Yeah, Dave Matthews, why is that? Did they really? Are they that cheap? That's just the two hundred dollars due Matthews tickets all they got. Like you're lucky because almost doubled his three hundred. But I want I figured it even five hundred. It would be nice. I'm sitting here trying to have some type of functioning kitchen. Yeah, well, he's trying to get He's trying to get
a pat that he loves back into his heart. Would to get the love of your life back? Yeah? His is Dino. That's an interesting way to think about it, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, I've never connected with an animal, you know, in that way. So maybe that's why it's harder for me to grasp. But the offer does stand. Happy to do it. Thank you, and we'll we'll help we find the fing lizard. Thank Kevin. And you know, I don't know if we'll get an update on that lizard. I don't know. Maybe have Trey on tomorrow see
how we're doing. I don't have a great feeling about it. D y'all, if you're on a lie detector, you'd probably hope that they'd never find the lizard. Don't nod yes at me and then stay high because that saves you two hundred bucks. I just think reptiles are kind of scary sometimes. Yeah, you don't have to get the base model dishwasher now. Yeah, well with just one knob, now you can have digital settings, all these options. That's why we're the news Honkey's steam clean and heated dry pot mode.
We don't talk about the news. Think of the possibilities that lie ahead of you. We make the news. Danny, you bet you're ask And now it's time for Dingu's morning News. I'd be an idiot if we didn't revisit the Travis Kelsey Super Bowl Parade vocal performance, and I want to compare it to this, to one of this legendary country musicians, stick around
