The Downbeat on ninety seven to one the Freak. In thirty minutes, I'm gonna tell you who the Cowboys have added for their playoff run. Yes, in addition, and what they must do if they ever want to win a road game. I'm gonna tell you that in thirty minutes. I'm hooked, So buckle your ass up. Most important thing in the world brought to you by The Downbeat last night. And you've seen this if you've watched any Cowboys games this year or really NFL football, you've seen the promos for it.
The new hit game show. Because game shows are the new thing in television, mainly because there was a one hundred and ninety day writers strike and so not a lot of original content for these shows. That's why CBS is airing Yellowstone season one. ABC last night was airing only Murders in the Building season one and editing out you know where an F word might go? And Fox has what they're upcoming? Hey did I just f my sister? Wait? Really? Yeah? Where you have to f a bunch of people and you're
related to one of them? Oh? Are you serious? No, you worked on the Fox lot. I assume you have insights that's what's left. That's the only thing left. Farmer wants a wife. Yeah, you know which that is the one you're talking about. I think then they're about out. One of these men just bone their sister and then they show three Dudes's like, gool is that one of your fake your fake or fake shows? When we did that thing with you and me and Ryan's No, But I
kept those because I thought one was so funny. Oh it was the senior citizens on the rankest bucking broncos. It's like which god, which one will survive and which will have their have their bones turned to dust it breaks of pelvis. Yes, I remember being really terrible at that game. Yes, I was so happy, these are these sound real? Because there was one. It was the ones that were real that they couldn't believe real. Yeah,
the ones screwed up. There was one uh uh celebrity high diving and it was like, you know, will they be a splash or will they whatever? And that was real. Yeah, you have a judge there to judge the diving. I mean it just like the Olympics. Yeah, it's at celebrities. I mean terrible and wouldn't watch it, but I could see where they're like, hey, we need content that doesn't cost much, yeah,
and don't to pay riders. Well, that's what happens, and that's what happened is we're in Game show season and the well was emptied and then it takes a while for it to fill up with writers and they're hard work. So we are dealing with Game Show Central right now. Fox debuted last night The Floor hosted by Roblow at eight PM, and I had forgot about it, but I did have it on my watch list, but I did forget about it. Thank you Danny for reminding us via text, because the
previews for it looked amazing and looked really cool. It's a bunch of people on a floor. How often are they running this? Is this weekly? I think it's every Tuesday night until the end of time, because there's no way you can cancel this show. Never I walked away, we will die, and a beautiful Robblow will still be hosting The Floor, looking just like he does. He will be the one guy that they joked about in Ricky Bobby where he's like, you know, science modern medicine, it's not crazy.
The guy can live to be one hundred and sixty hundred seventy years old. He's that guy the I know, Mike, You've got kind of the layout of what it is. I just want to say I walked away from that show last night going this is already a top ten game show of all time. It's really Smart's ever been created? Top ten? Well? It is it smarter or is it really dumb? I think it's really smart because as as the you have to explain the rules, it's really really difficult.
Let me do it first, ok the floor, stream it or skip it. That's what the name of this article is. Okay, anyway, it says the gist. There's eighty one people. They walk out on stage on a lit up nine by nine grid, and the grid is obviously on the floor illuminated floor. Each of the eighty one contestants claim expertise in a particular
topic like veggies, dogs, eighties TV, and more. To start a game, the random picks one contestant ding, and that contestant has to side which of his or her neighbors on the grid that they want to challenge. So it could be any it has to be a neighbor that they're adjacent to. Right, yeah, left, north, south, east, west, your four options. Generally, assuming you're in the middle of the board, you have to share a side of a square with them right, and the
topic will be the one in which the challenge contestant is the expert. So if Bam, Dingu, he looks to his left and he has KT. We didn't have these jokes ready, but well, areas of expertise, I mean, I was talking about it last night, was watching it. I was like, I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but my area of expertise that no one could beat me at would be the Dave Matthews band. Okay, fine, you wouldn't. No one would beat me. You look to your left, there's KT and buy his feet, it says, bisks
kay, and mine is salads. And really I know a lot about salads. Right. You have the Wedge, you have the cob and the caesar taka taco. Is it really a salad? And one guy's was to discuss, uh, it's not from a health standpoint. No, Well, Butler salads, is that all the ones you got? Because now I have I think we're running up with Wedge. I picked KT. I want to challenge KT in his knowledge of the Dave Matthews band. Right, then you guys
would go up to face mister Low. I'm gonna call him mister Low the remainder of this, If that's okay. Two contestants come to the podium have a duel. Clues are shown, usually word clues, visual clues. The two contestants take turn making guesses forty five second clock bam bab bam. They show pictures of salads or whatever, bisks dogs, dogs, and you go back and forth. You have to name the breed of dog that's you know, the main ingredient of the bisk whatever, and then it kicks back the
other person. It's like playing chess speed chess, where you hit the button you know, and you go and then the clock is running on them. Hey, you're trying to move and there are no wrong answers. You answer until you get it right or pass, and if you pass, they deduct three seconds from your clock. Yeah. The person that has the most time remaining on their clock wins that loose. Ever clock doesn't run out survives that per the loser, you're gone, You're off the grid. Guess what,
You'll never step on the floor again. Never. And the other person then decides do I want to challenge? Oh, I just picked up their piece of the floor. I have two pieces now, two chunks, and then I can decide do I want to face Do you want to face someone else? Because I got a new set of potential category that you've added, what three right? Three extra or two extra people? I got sci fi, I have famous athletes. It's cool because if you it's almost like a little
bit of Monopoly element too, claiming your territory on the map. But you have this option. It's also a one and done game. If you lose your challenge, you're done and start whittling them down. Now, the grand prize at the end of the season is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars if you're the overall winner. But at the end of eachepisode, if you have the most territories at the end of each episode, you get twenty thousand dollars.
Right, which is the mini game within the game. Because I didn't know the whole season is gonna be one batch of contestants on the floor. I think that is what it is. But yeah, then you're up there going all right, well, I've been up here for a minute. I got three pieces now, if I just beat one more person, I'm gonna have four. No one else can get to four. I'm gonna win twenty k right now. And that's the game within the game Jasper Face. The
legend of episode one. Now there's a little there's some a couple of cocky people contestants last night, like, for instance, I don't think she knows much about tools, and they go up there and they start showing tools. Look at that's okay, screwdriver. That's why I ask if it's this is stupid. I know, like when they start the promos, I'm like, all right, yeah, I probably watch that, but I don't know if I'm being honest with myself or I don't even know what's happening. I don't
know if I even liked the show. It's it's the dumbest thing ever. They show pictures of crap, but you have a say what it is. That's all it is. That is dumb. It's basically an elevated version of what's that sound. Yes, it's the incredible game which did not test well. All knobs went hard left and got canceled in round one. But yes, they're showing pictures like their first duel we saw the night was tools.
Okay, this girl's up there and they show four nails. Now I acknowledge that freezing up is a big part of this, and that I think is what makes it interesting. Everyone ninety nine point whatever no nails when they see them, and you could see her eyes wide and she's like, I just can't think of the word, and she said pins, screws, screws, and then she got it. But I thought that was a kind of an endearing moment to remind you that, no matter if it's the most base knowledge,
everyone knows it, you could freeze up. I thought they're putting easy ones though, that's what I thought. That was early in the game. Two Tools was one of the first ones, so it was early in the game. But as that the game went on with slogans. Mm hmmm, that got tough. Yeah, because you don't know. It just says the guy's an expert and slogans and you challenge him and slogans like for what you know? Because I was thinking like cliches and stuff like that. Companies company
slogan A couple of early easy ones. And you've heard all of these, you know, Yeah, you've heard all of them, but you're like, oh my god, what is that? Like? Obviously we you know eat fresh as subway, but there was one about something when you're here your family. I'm like, I don't know what is that out back? Is it Applebee's? What is that one? And that was all yeah, and the guy missed eat Fresh. Yeah, but it was also like the Few,
the Proud, the Marines, easy one right there. So there's enough like easy stuff for anyone out there could watch it, and there's enough I was challenged by it. I just put it that way, and that was part of that's what will lose me on a game show. You cannot alenging that. I'm out and I won't ever watch it, but you can play along
enough to keep you hooked. Yes, there's too much fluff, and yes, look it's it's network TV, So it's an hour that's really forty four minutes, and it does have all the the who wants to be a millionaire? Music stingers and drama and all of that to build, you know, tension. I thought they made a concerted effort now that they said there's a randomizer for the eighty one floor tiles and on each tile it's the person with their area of expertise bugs, popular books, cars, aromatic, but it
also has Roquefort. And also I thought they made a concerted effort to Lindberg Lenburgh man on fire. They had a concerdered effort. I thought to put some hot chicks on there. Did y'all notice that? Yeah, Kevin, we noticed that the TV show put a couple of hot chicks and the randomizer shockingly land on one of them very early. They have three of them. The randomizer was hitting a lot of because the guys that were getting challenged, like the guy won last night, Jasper spoiler, you know, not a
hot guy. You had your guy who's area of expertise was cars, and then they go and also when they bring him up to the to the stand when they've been challenged, it shows their age and their job. And he's an insurance adjuster. I was like, oh, wow, okay, pretty good. He wouldn't know all the cars. He looks at pictures of them being smashed all the time. And there was the sci fi guy, Kevin n Now he was pretty funny because everyone was scared of him and they mentioned
like I don't know anything about sci fi. That's gonna be tough. And he's like, I just like to play head games. I made eye contact with everyone, stirred him down. Picked because his area is sci Fi and maybe that's a good strategy going into it, you know. But the thing is, even if it's not your area of expertise, you can win. And how most challenge you beat the experts now because cars too, I mean it's all stuff that ever, I mean, everyone knows a little bit about
so you can win even if it's not your area at all. We did like sci Fi for instance, it would be you know, yeah, Star Trek, I mean mostly Yeah. There was a young guy, he was twenty one. In his area of expertise was popular books, and he got challenged. He sucked. Yeah, he didn't know. And what they would do is they would put the cover of the book, but they would leave out It was almost like a fill in the blank game. So for instance, the Great Gats be Great is left out the blank of Wrath. Yeah,
he said, the Book of Wrath, the Book of Wrath. He didn't get Lord of the Flies. He also didn't get the rings and then passed, Yeah, he didn't get the blank purple Yeah. And then he when it came up. He's like, I've never heard of that. I no, I've never heard of that. It was weird. He's wearing a red hat down to that. JJ wouldn't need to get too edgy today, don't we an antagonist on the show? Yeah? You know, watch You're
right, come at me, hose. So, to sum it all up, I thought it was awesome, and I think it's gonna continue to be awesome. And I'm locked in. I'm not starting too, but I rarely there's there's what's wild? Is there eight eighty one people? Sixty five of them or seventy of them? We don't know. I haven't really seen much of them. The problem with this is I don't want to wait a week for this. This needs to remember when Millionaire aired, like every night of
the week. They need to do that. I was expecting it to be back on tonight episode two next Tuesday. Damnit, I'm gonna forget. I'm gonna forget the show exists. Yeah, we'll hit it. Add it to your DVR. Well I already did. I'm gonna have still one hundred floor sitting on my DVR, like I got crap out of to my DVR. That I'll never watch. I watched the Adam Driver SNL, which is what three weeks old? Pretty funny? I know, it wasn't funny. It
was a pretty good episode. The best thing about that was Olivia Rodrigo. She was great. But you listened to Adam Briver on SmartLess? Yeah, yeah, I went back, and that's why I went back and watched. I was listening to old ad on SmartLess and there was a couple of funny skits. But good lord, it's the baby on the plane. The Baby on the plane was okay. I thought the Santa, the chocolate teer that was on the Shopping Network. You have you seen this episode? That was
really funny. He's a chocolate tear on this Christian shopping network and he's got a big chocolate Santa. But when you peel off the floor the foil, it looks like a big brown dildo. And he's standing there with it like right in front of his pants, very shweaty balls, you know, and he's trying to get the Christian lady to take a bite of it, and she's got kind of it's near her face. I don't like that. Let's
move that off the screen. Sassy Country Home Jumping Network. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but there was a couple of I laughed out loud a couple of times Weekend Up and it was okay, but I mean buying large, you know what it was. It was Saturday Night Live, largely not funny. Why's Kevin's handshaking and his face filling with an apologists? And that's fine. I used to be, But I'm also a realist, and I realized that most of those seventy five percent of those jokes are really not good.
I can tell you the bad episodes of the season. I'm not an apologist. I'll tell you when it sucks. Evolved Birthdays. You're right, Florence Pugh's twenty eight anyone, anyone, anyone, I can tell you. I don't think I know who that is. He is one of the people involved in what I think is the divorce of well of Jason Sedakas and Olivia wild She was Danny. She was dating Zach Braff at the time. She was the female lead in Olivia Wilde's movie. I thought one of those guys was
boning the nanny. No, that's that's a whole Schwarzenegger thing. From twenty five years ago. Okay, and not fran Dresher, the spokes lady for Sad the Rider whatever. They're sports Peter the female e there, and she's been in some other things recently. Nice. She was an Oppenheimer. Oh, she was an Openheimer mid midsommer black widow. Yeah, dude, sorts of things you don't know about. Yeah, the color Flow. Her and Harry get it on in Olivia Wilde's movie. She's in The New Dune as
well. Dune too. I'm excited for that. Dune one is great. You like Dune? Do you watch it? I've never seen it, The New Dune. I've never seen any of the Dunes. I think I watched the first one in the eighties and it confused me. And because there was some big sand serpent. You should watch sometime before the next one comes out, which is probably in a year or two. I don't know. You should watch the first one. It's kind of badass, That's what I've heard.
I've heard like Dune. The books are great, and yeah, they had a hard time with the first one making it. The books happen to be because they've been trying to get this right on film. Yeah, our whole lot it is a lot of sad it. I'll work with old people. Pets are saying it's like water World in the desert. It's sand World. Yeah yeah, and water Roll was great and I'm not kidding underrated. I think water is good. The smokers better than Avatar, which I never
saw. How would you know? Eli Manning's forty three somewhere he's sitting mouth agape? Do you think he's sitting mouth agape right now? Am I not? I don't do that right. I have my mouth nicely sealed when I'm at rest. And when you let your mustache overgrow a little bit, which it is, disguises it. That's funny, Peyton, is that basically the cut off. Someone looks stupid if their mouth is always open, and then you call him a mouth breather? Whoever came up with mouth breathers? Funny?
That's pretty good. David Tyree shares a birthday with him forty four really, so yeah, he's got a couple things in common, including the catch James Marsden's forty nine X Man. He is cyclops a cream dream for Minnie? Really? Yes, he's still what's he doing now? I just saw him on two episodes of season three of Party Down after Party Down took like a thirteen year break and came back, and it's awesome. It's so good. Oh, the reboot's good. Yes, I love the initial run of
that. I thought that was incredibly funny episodes, just to the great Lizzy Kaplan. This six episode of reboot, and it is wonderful. He didn't you watch that? I tried see. I love the idea, but I never watched it. Where pain it's painful? Yeah, I forget it. Thomas Bangalter's forty nine from a band that called it quits last year, Death Punk. You never see his face. Jim Everett sixty one, Really don't do it. You're gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. Please
don't do it. Chris, I know, I know you have it ready. I don't have it. Yes, you do play it. I actually wrote on my notes, don't say Jim evert out loud unless I pulled the clip. And I didn't pull the clips. I don't want tokay. Mel Gibson sixty eight, well, oh clapping, huh Ford his U. I wonder if he has any Gaza opinions. Oh boy, Kevin, get him on book him when you're done booking Jasper from the floor, winner of round one. You sour face bitch, get Mel Gibson on. He will just
wind him up. You make me want to smock incredible yet with your fake boobs. You know. One of the great scenes in cinema history is is in his movie Brave Heart, where they must have had a long shoot out on the Scottish fields one day because there are two guys in a fight scene. There are two guys and it's about three seconds, real quick, just mailing in their fight. Oh really, yes, in the background and you see it and they're just they're just oh my god, it's wimp wristing their
sword. Dude, it's so good. They look like they've had a fourteen hour day. They're so tired. God, yeah, said this is the last one. Greg. It's dude, it is z It's like God, that is not a vicious battle right there. It is so cool. We'll find that sounds funny. Uh. Jim Ross seventy two old j R. Yeah, Oklahoma's own Jim Ross, legendary wrestling announcer, father of the slobber Knocker and the moment that a man almost died in front of our very eyes.
When the Undertaker threw mankind off hell in the cell. By god, he's killed him. He said that, Yeah, by got he killed him. He killed him, By God, he killed him. That man has a family. I mean, it's kind of amazing when you consider all of it. That man has a family, got a freaking raw good actor. He's amazing. You can be good at a lot of things, and that's a niche thing, but he is very, very good at it. I think he's a w Now. John Paul Jones is seventy eight, Danny,
Danny tell him? Who tell him? Everybody knows who John Paul Jones is not true bass player Led Zeppelin? Yes, Christina, good morning to you. How old? Seventy eight? Seventy eight. He's so good, he's so good. Yeah. Yeah. They can't tell when bass players are good. Even though I really like him and I want to just say he's really good at this good, I don't know if they're actually good. Yeah, Okay, Danny, I'll help you watch me and then watch on Paul Jones.
I always think that the baseline on Running with the Devil is one of the greatest all time. Keep it simple, you gotta dumb it down sometimes to appeal. That's true, and that's why we're going to say that Abney Coleman's ninety two today, Abney Coleman still kicking it shocking. I would have gone all in on him being the same here Jesus's arms by now in Jesus's arms is the fifth Beatle. Sir George Martin would have been ninety eight today.
So there's your birthdays. That was good, Thanks Kevin. Today's jan three. We got some fun in an hour. Jimmy Kimmel versus Aaron Rodgers couldn't go to court in two hours? The Gypsy Rose Story, Dude but the morning? But coming up next? Had the Cowboys made a playoff? Addition? And is it because they're scared? Next to ninety seven won the Freak
