You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak cut up at seven, get into Rangers and Astros. We'll probably start with Friday's events, so much the plunking, the pegging, whatever you want to call it. The pegging. The pegging looks like I've been out voted. I'll ready to go with plunking or greed in unison, but the pegging twins over here. All the city and talk is got me lathered up. And then you know, maybe eight o'clock we'll probably do it again, and more of a
will get last night and what to expect tonight for game seven. Things like that coming up at a get scuttle before you get seven thirty one of them the stories in the scuttle, but does involve a missing animal? Tell me it's not the snake I got. I got all day on the snake too, Okay, walking time and last night in the darkness, there's one house that's completely like unkempt, Like when you go down the sidewalk, the bushes are I mean scraping with my legs almost, and I had like a fraction
of a moment of not panic. I don't want to overstate it. But I'm like, this is where a fourteen foot python would be. This is the house he would disappear at for a year, and there's cats galore in this area. And I'm like, what if this psycho snake yeah on a Simon? Yeah, And I came over. I speed walked him out. Yes, game over? Well, I don't know. And then you got to catch the snake. Well, no, no, he's not gonna take him and drag him. I don't think I'm gonna grab a rock. I
look for a rock. Well, what else am I gonna? Don't have a machette. I don't have a machete on me. No, I think a rock to Yeah, machete you take. I'm gonna take a rock and bash the snake's f and skull open. I'm putting an accent above one of the letters machete, No machete, machette. You don't remember the Great dam need t heo film from a few years ago. I do remember sixteen years ago. No, okay, place your bets on what your machete. Seven
no keo was in kindergarten. Machete was after the Thames. Give me seven to twelve would be my range Okay, I'll take eleven and after I'll take the under twenty ten film Hedge chinny chin chin Oh go a tie? Yeay? Kids, steal my snake my dog. If you bite your dog, you have to take Simon to the vet immediately and hope they have some anti venom just in case it's a venomous snake and you have to catch the snake. I have to get the snake off my dog. Snakes that big typically
are not venomous. They don't they don't need to be video. There's squeezers. The video going around on Twitter that I don't want India. Oh that was that a Komodo dragon or something that would snake? No full snake. It was a full snake a construction site that they had to tie its neck. Don't worry about it. You need a person point is dell Yo. Yeah, I haven't seen that one. I just saw the video of the I think it's a Komodo dragon that just snuck up on a lamb and within
ten seconds completely swallowed, like disappeared. Lamb was alive ten seconds later. Gone yeah, dragons just looking around like what's up, bitch? And then it did cross my mind, what if he latches on assignment right, and then I start trying to bash him with a rock or whatever I heroically try to do. I assume I'll snap into something heroic instead of squeal and run run home. Immediately think I'm voting squeal and run. But what if he's
wraps his tail around my leg? Is they're not that fast? You can get away from a thirteen foot pipe. Not if I'm hovering over him smacking him with a rock and then he wraps his tail around my leg. Yeah, then you were squeezed to death and get by. No you're not. You can get away the stranger. I'm not leaving Simon. I don't leave a warrior behind. I'm like Kevin Costner. Okay, this has gone on too long. Can we do the most important thing in the world? Intro
please in every segment with that. This has gone on too long. Yeah, pull that as your offender today. Wake up, your little sleepyhead. It's time to get you supid as out of bed to you about the most importy thing. And yeah, I send the late night texts to lead gals in your phone and yeah, I don't remember them having an android, But okay, the Dallas Observer Radio host of the Year has deemed that he has an idea, give me that rock worthy of being the most important thing in
the world, and we will. Kevin will be monitoring this segment to determine when, if, in fact, it goes on too love. Please don't among the live meters I need to be staring at. I don't need that one in front of my face. But what I do need is for you two to have a seat, sit down to any damn. I know your hips hurt. Are you seated? I am you? Yes, Cavio, have a seat, Kevio, Dingo, Dingo, Kevio and Dingo, Yes, what's your uh? I got something wild that you're concerned? Something wild?
I present to you both the Jaradians Jaunt Down I forty five, presented by Franklin Frankel. Let's go to Houston right after the show. But I don't need are a couple of lady boys here? I need courage? Are you going? I need break? I don't know, But why aren't Well you're talking about spur of the moment. Yes, you know what I thought about this last night too. You were not the only ones not texting. They crossed a lot. We could you know why? Because the thing that
I thought about was getting down there. I mean, tickets are available, you can find tickets, but I was concerned that with the game seven, the influx of it would probably be really difficult to find a place to stay. And do you really want to go to the game? Drive back home at what eleven? That's a four and a half hour drive. You get back at three thirty and basically, you're, you're, you're, We're gonna we would be up for over twenty four hours. Listen, there is in
our friendly cluster. I guess I don't know it works. We have iHeart buildings and stations in Houston, we assume probably multiple ones. Probably we stay down there one night tonight and do the show live from Houston tomorrow. Okay, okay, and who's going to make that call? I looked up tickets to the game. As you said, not too bad. I mean, you get in the building for one hundred and twenty bucks. How you can get the building eighty eight bucks? They have standing room only. Ain't doing
that? Kevo needs to sit down? Yeah, and Dan's gout, My hips gout yet between it's definitely Kevin's gout and nanny's hips. I sore hips from my neighborhood walk. These guys need to sit hotels, you know, one hundred and something dollars like not, it's Houston. It's humongous, it's not out of the question. Plus, we just need to broadcast do the show from down there, which I think in the next five hours we could
probably sort out. Okay, what are we doing. It's we're looking at what three and a half four hour drive, but none of us so it's like four and a half to Houston, I think, right, none plan that? Well, are you going to plan it all? No, I've planned the idea wanted one of you guys would just kick it, okay, and we're gonna take it in. We're gonna take my tiny little Volkswagen or your or your jeep. Yeah, my Honda Chord's definitely out of the picture
in this case. I mean, he's got you guys are tall men. We're not taking my jeep right now. From where we sit in Addison, it's three hours and forty minutes, Okay, Houston's easy to get to. Yeah, But I mean it's just wild that we're twelve hours from game time and we're just now kicking it around. Yeah right, that's what's wild does Jardian's jomped down I forty five isn't often planned early. It's for the moment. That was funny though last night after the Salami that we could go right
into a Jardiant spot erect. I just I saw that that commercial start and all I could think about was you just in your room doing the dance pajamas. DJ Stats at the ballpark. Guess they had like a they had like a watch party at the ballpark last night, and DJ Stat sent me a text and it's up on the tample the jump butcher on Jardians lady just had a picture of her. He played the Yeah no, because I mean if you shown the game on the big screen and there she is, all the
Ranger fins there, what's the game? So then Ben and Ben Rogers and the Benn and Skin showd made a graphic I think Kevin made it and sent it over with a Giant Ardians lady right field, go and take stay puff Marshmallow lady, go and take it, go and take it. Okay. So that's I mean, you're literally saying that the downbeat goes and takes to take it, Okay, I mean reasons not to do it? Okay, painting the balls, I'm no jokes here. It is can we get a
hotel? Can we get permission to broadcast down there? You know I would say nope, I would get how are we gonna get down there? Dude? I would guess, no problem on permission and place to broadcast tomorrow, and that's our top priority because we have to do a show tomorrow. They ponying up for freaking flights to Houston for us. Yeah, well, and that would be expensive to book, like right now, and an uber's more expensive. Thanks Kevin. Yeah, neither you've done the math on that,
or you wouldn't have brought that up. So yeah, Kevin's here to announce it. Uber would be more expensive than a flight to Houston. We don't have a speed train yet. Yeah, we don't have the bullet train just yet. I thought NFL bullet Train is the name of that segment we do later and we talk about all the games I'm in on that. I just text you that nine o'clock. I think, Uh, I don't know. Flights might be under one hundred bucks. I don't know, isn't it?
Can you get like an eighty dollars flight to Houston day of though. I mean that's if you plan it a few weeks out, okay, And I'm going Southwest Airline's website, right, and I already this morning, Yeah, I already did this morning. It's not it's like two hundred yeah, okay. So here's the thing, and I'm not Look, first of all, I love your idea and it ended up being worthy of the most important thing in the world in my estimation, Thank you. What I would say is
great idea, not poo pooing on it at all. How how becomes the question? The why? I think we know, the when we know, the what we know, the who we know, and the where we know. But if you gotta answer, you gotta like for anything that you're thinking about doing, you should answer all of those five or six questions. And the why, No, the how is the one that we're struggling with the
idea of what we're doing. The other things, the where why. We're in the middle of doing exactly what you're saying, and we would have continued to do it without you saying all the things you just said. How much as an uber to Houston Again, we're not gonna uber to Houston. How much is an uber to Houston? I'm gonna ask, do you think they would let us possibly take the freak mobile the station vehicle? Another two? Okay there that opens up a whole other basket of questions. Have you ever
been in a radio station vehicle before? I have? O? My god. Yeah, we're gonna have to empty the ash tray first. First out, Well, first of all, you want to make packed. You want to make sure that it's been inspected within the last seven years, because I think the last time I was in an old ticket vehicle, the inspection was like five years old. Not a drop of oil in it. No, we won't make it to the zoo much less Houston. That's the tires are
always bald. Okay, so here's two things on. We have a caller that's called in that has an idea. But also JJ's gonna should we call that? Yes, I mean let's just calls that. Yeah, I mean he's he's he's up. Yeah. Zach Zach's a high energy guys. That's our boss. By the way, Zach Zach will be a dude. He is all in on good ideas, which is why he likes me. So much. This could help solve the how let's do this? Caller has first in those calls act? All right, fine, yo, what's your whole
deal? Hey guys, it's Jonathan and Waco here. I talked back a lot. I haven't called in. I travel a ton for work. I'm part of team having fun. I have a ton of hotel points. I can cover y'all for a hotel room. But it's one last thing that you have to handle. Okay, we're interested in what like? I can just book you guys a room, put one of all names on it. You don't have to pay for that. Oh but oh, you said, but that's one last thing. Okay, I thought you. I thought you wanted
us to do so. Yeah. I thought he had some sort of compromise. But there's one more thing you got to handle. Kill my wife. Fine, good word, I'll give me every day. I love help you. Let me get your hotel room. This is I'm used to being the only hero around at any given moment with my machete to defend this my giant rock. JJ. Right, Uh, what Jonathan you said? It's Jonathan. Yes, I recognize your voice from the red microphone button on the iHeartRadio
app where you send talkbacks. There's no doubt we're like in the cut of your jib, Jonathan, I'd rather not do that. I don't want anything. I don't want this to cost anyone anything. But I also know some people are sitting on mountains of points for flights and hotels and all this stuff and they'll never even use them, all like a sybyan of cash. I's all right, Jonathan, jjright, write his number down. You stay next
to your phone. All right, we may be in touch on old Thank you for your heroism and and appreciate your allegiance to team having fun, having fun. Love you, love you, love you, Jonathan, nice Jack. How about that? That's sweet? Should we talk to our boss? You got him? Hang on? What's cold call it? I hope he's away. Always a good idea to cold call your boss, he says,
seven typically up at like five point thirty. I don't believe that it is very the percentage of bosses who would accept a cold call six before seven am in this world. It can't be polishing. Is Harley Davidson in the garage? What's our boss doing? It's six fifteen or he's just sitting in a dark room listening to us, shaking his head. Let's ask him. We got him, Hello caller, you're live on ninety seven won the free is act? Yeah, shaking my head or like in a fetal position and a
walk in closet. What am I doing listening? It's our boss. It's sweet sweet Zach. What's up morning? Good morning? How's your how's your motorcycle nice and polished? How's my motorcycle? Yeah, my motorcycle is doing great, great, thanks to Roy. And I've been listening, and you know, these are the types of ideas that, shall I say, come with an award winning radio personalities. It's a great idea. And I'm struggling
with with Kevio over the how. Yeah, the how, and in terms of Kevio, the lack of awards also too, also focus on the how also a concern. That's twelve hour Okay, look, Zach, you tell me just your first impression of live show from Houston tomorrow. We have iHeart stations in Houston, right, we've done that. Well, we haven't done it, but it's been done before. If you have a company station another city, it's it's usually a fairly easy thing to do. So our show
being our priority, that seems somewhat realistic. Right, Well, okay, so I just wanted to assess that you're saying for certain, we got to do the show. That's that's a priority of courting. We got to find a way to do the show tomorrow morning, because there's no way you guys are going to high tail back here after the game. No, I mean we would be coming back directly after the game to work, and that's unsafe.
That's fully asleep at all, like you travel all night though, like Derek Jeter, Yeah, if you bought Yeah, I have a feeling the Freakmobile is not a twenty twenty four wagoneer. It's in point taking about whether or not it's been inspected within the twenty first century. So that's a that's another dilemma, that's another potential pits fall to the how right now? Okay, okay, So ranking our concerns, can we do the show from Houston tomorrow and how do we get there? Yes? And then how do we
get their vehicle wise? And then the third being the cost of hotel and tickets to the game. And I looked up tickets to the game. There one hundred bucks maybe after fees one hundred and thirty bucks something like that each, which is totally manageable as long as hotels don't bust the bank. I don't think financially, this is going to be that big of a thing, right Are those are the only three we got? That's it? Yeah? But you're gonna okay help me here? Because JJ called me and I picked
up the phone right as the gentleman was calling about hotels. What was decided on that No decisions have been made at all. These are all just ideas, But I'd be ho. I think burning a random listeners who's being incredibly friendly hotel points is probably not the yeah we might We might want to do a little better than that yeah good part. That might not be great imaging for iHeartRadio. Yes to go and take it. George Jonathan point of the
process. There's been enough in the news about local radio stations being cheap lately. We don't want to fall under that umbrella, do we. All right, so hold on your first thoughts, Zach. Not the worst idea, maybe an awesome idea. Imagine us. We'll be on the road today corresponding with our fellow shows this afternoon and then I absolutely love the idea. I
think the town needs to be in the Houston for this game set. And I mean right, it's the biggest biggest phrase in sports, most exciting plights, right Yeah, and here we are against you hated Astros. I definitely think you guys need to be there. Okay, I think we've got some
work to do here. If you guys are going to get there, yeah, why don't you hop on that, hop on your laptop, your hog, no, your motorcycle, and get to work and we can start ticking some boxes right, first one being can we do the show from you? And? Fine? Now, I brought up this idea of the potential of the station vehicle and that might be the one that we need. Now. The risks associated with a vehicle that contains no oil or none of the essential
lubricants needed to make it. Can you make it in a nineteen ninety four suv on a donut to Houston? Yeah, because it's probably bad spare tire.
So whenever you get in, if you don't mind, please find out about the Houston station the potential for that to work for the show tomorrow and then maybe ask someone whoever, I don't know who about the station vehicle and if those concern here isn't the tickets, the broadcast, it's whether or not our station vehicle can make it. Yeah right, freak way, yeah exactly.
That's so I guess concerned. Okay, the other ones are going to be difficult, but our biggest challenge is whether not the station vehicle can make it three hours? Yeah, okay, all right, So whenever you get in, start checking that. And if if you do all that, maybe check if there's an iHeart affiliate in Centerville or Madisonville, so if we break down halfway, we can do the show from there. Well there's a Buffies.
Okay. We'll try to get a backup planning first, yeah, second, but first we need a plan and then we'll search for that backup plan. Right. The station vehicle, well they had an hour and a half of life left, right, Yes, let's just face it. We're going to try to execute this and we will be doing our show live from the Dallas Zoo tomorrow morning. Yeah, yeah, under the giraffe, make something happen. But you guys got to be here, so I'll get on this.
And he's not saying no, that's not possible. Yeah, I looked at the uber and it's more expensive than a fly Yeah. Uh oo can rent an suv, but I kind of like having the imaging of the station mobile. Okay, okay, I'll check. I'll get on this. We need tickets, we need a broadcast location, gonna be transportation, six courts of oil. Well, we'll handle the hotels and the tickets. If if this is a green light, like, we'll obviously correspond with you about the
money what it costs. If you just handle this, iheartstation and the vehicle, then our asses are going to Houston. Go go to damn Game seven, win for everybody. Okay, we're gonna need to represent there, so my ass will get on this. Hell yeah, quote the bearphraser, Roy, and let's work on it now. We got we got to get your guys out of here before noon. He's not saying no, he's kind of
saying yes. Okay, I just got to try to find a howl the how Okay, Zach, if you're here, Zach at eight oh five, we swing in studio with this and we'll just kind of check in and see how we're the update on how far are you getting along. I've gotten on the how yeah, in the next hour. Okay, I'm on it. All there you go, Okay, we should call you more at six fifty in the morning. A good move, Things get done. He's in a good movie before our show, A poor mood after our show? Zach,
Why are you at six o'clock in the morning? I love it? Okay? All right, brother, we'll talk guy today, all right, Zach, thanks Hommy, all right, all right, there you go, there's the boss, Zachkay. We just ticked past fifty. Honestly, we did that one from three to fifty one percent. How hopeful are you? He's in You can tell he's like this song Nipples from Hell. But that that truck, Mikey, you've seen it. It's like held together by coat hangers
and duct tape. And I'm telling you that thing has not been inspected in the last ten years. There's definitely no bluetooth. But you know whatever, I'm gonna go down there in this break and just look at it. I'm just gonna go look at that is the X factor. I don't know how that, okay, but I'm gonna go down right now and just look at the car. Okay, I'm gonna put eyes on it and I'll report back. Bring some bondo down there and okay, shoot it all over the place,
all right, maybe, Oka, right. Maybe we'll update you on this throughout the day. Maybe if you're going to Houston, maybe maybe we'll be down there with you tonight. We'll see. We got a lot to figure out in the next couple hours. But coming up next, let's talk about kind of how we got here. Friday was one of the most intense playoff baseball games in recent history. Was he pegged on purpose? Was he not? Next? On ninety seven won the Freak
