You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak all right, six thirty six, A lot of state champions Texan and in honor of Danny's state championship that he won left handed state champion. I don't know if they're all real. There's a lot of jokes. Okay, is there high school fishing in Texas? I don't know high school fishing? Yeah, I bet there is. I'm sure there is somewhere. We have at least three
people making the Master Baier joke. Oh yeah, well the beast Master's Classics coming to Fort Worth this year, Mike, you know who you could call it would know definitively is Julie. Yes, she's a fish expert. Yes, the fishing show. Of course, she can tell you what kind of bait do you use? I also have I've been in contact with the guy who's caught a couple of record He's from fourth caught a couple of record bass and I was thinking about having him having him on sometime just to how do
you find the biggest a fisherman? That's what it would be, ask a professional fisherman. I bet those guys on that weekend car show would know a little long Dong silver and mister Bill whoever they are? You mean Kurt Chase and big Big Bulge Bo, that's the one. Do you think they know fisherman? Yeah, they like cars. Sure. This guy won the ninety eight Texas for a baseball state championship. Chris Young was our starting pitcher, Oh wow, and hit for himself when he pitched, sohed four day.
So this guy got dhed for by Chris Young, who hit for himself, who was the pitcher, and he was a designated fielder. That's crazy. That's amazing. Are you kidding? That's a beauty. He come in and run for Chris Young to what he get on base? What a strike zone that would be. This guy was a Lewisville Fighting Farmer football ninety six state champ and he sent a picture first and only high school football team on a Cereal box. And there's a team Cheerio's picture of the Lewisville Fight and Farmers
on Cereal. You wanna hear my bass story real quick? Sure? So it starts sad, but then it's kind of sad and funny. I'm not much of a fisherman. I don't really like fishing sorry, but my dad had cancer, right, and he was about to pass away, and he knew it, and we didn't. He didn't really tell us, you know, but he knew this was probably his last trip with us. So he took his boys fishing in Lake Okachobe and it was just nice and peaceful, you know, and we knew it he was sick. We didn't know it
was anywhere near that bad. He was passed away two or three months later. Anyway, we went fishing, couldn't get a bite. It was just us and there was a guide. You know, We're out there just talking, having a pleasant time, peaceful morning in Lake Okachobe, Central Florida. We went out hours, hours on end, nothing, no bites, no bites. And then finally I get a bite right, and I yank the
thing right. I don't set the hook, and the guy's yelling. We're like, my god, we gotta bite, we gotta bring this thing in. Whatever I do, it's not right. And the bass is gone. Three seconds later, my brother, who polls right to the left of mine, same idiot bass, gets on his He does everything properly and pulls in this glorious, very large bass and he still has it. He took it
to a taxidermis. He has it mounted on his wall. And then obviously our dad passed away a few months later, and it's just symbolic of our lives, of my failures and my close calls and his ultimate success and achievement, just brought together in one magical morning with our dad. And he's still in his office, has this gorgeous bass. So we, you know, sort of obviously think of our dad when we see of course, and I
have nothing. How were you when this happened? Twenty? Wow? Yeah, because I died when I was still twenty when my dad passed away. You should just have like an empty hook in a picture frame, yeah, or a little plaque yeah, or a full plaque with a little gold thing, an empty gold plate on it. Just a hook, no ingravement and a hook, yeah, a single hook just says fishing, fishing, fishing, and the date, because he has the date that he caught. It's
awesome. I'm gonna get that for you, please don't. I don't want any crap on the walls. Birthday coming up. Yeah, we'll go ahead and handle that up up the down that Danny. It's good's getting that fishing empty fishing plaque. I appreciate that'd be very sweet. Take a picture of tweet cash cash like this. Let's see yours cash. This guy won one hundred and fourteen contestant N sixty four GoldenEye tournament for one thousand dollars. Incredible.
Wow, how about that. That was a tough game too. Somebody says Jacksborough has a fishing team, so I guess there are. Okay, high schools do have bass fishing teams. There you go. Cool, absolutely high school fishing. My kids. I was a middle school fishing team as well. There you go, all of our state champions chiming in on this very special day, on the very special leap day before we get into leap
day stuff real quick. Last night or Tuesday night, was the season finale of the hit TV show of the Floor, the two hour finale, which is about an hour when you fast forward through everything brunch, fast forward through all the fluff, so many commercials, and so much teasing. Yes, I officially celebrated the last moments of my life that I ever watched The Floor yesterday. Oh you're not gonna be back there. No, it's not even that. It's not good. It is good. It's not good, and
I'm done with it. We did it. I watched the first f and season. I'm never gonna watch the floor again. I think because this was the first season, I think it's pretty clear what your strategy should always be. Hide hide, yeah the girl that won two hundred and fifty K. Hold on to your expert topic and never vary from that. Ever, going for the twenty grand of the Daily Winter or whatever that is, Yes, stop doing that. No, I thought of this too. My category would
be international car racing. Oh yeah, pick something that no one out there will avoid. You like to play? Yes, you just stand there and wait for a fifty to fifty at the very damn end, because if they challenge you, you get to fight your for your topic, right yeah? Yeah. Or we all do powerboat racing, okay, powerboats nineteen eighties power boats and spend six months just studying your buns off on your subject. No one picks you. You wait, you're at the end. You have a
fifty to fifty shot at a quarter million dollars. Here are the very I have a lot of questions about this show, though, because when the have these areas of expertise and you it's takes place over a two month span on actual TV. It probably took a week to film all this or less. They're all wearing the same clothes and Rob Low changes clothes, so they must have mandated that they wear the same out. Yeah, so it's easy ever tell who they are. And that's fine. That makes sense. Now.
They had mentioned studying, but there was a girl. If I knew exactly where it was, I would have pulled it and taken a time to time. But there was a girl, the girl who ended up on the country music category, and like episode two or three, that was funny. In episode two or three, she specifically once she got in that spots it wasn't her category, she was like, Oh, I don't like this. I
don't know anything about country music. And then when it was her turn to compete in the finals, she was like, yeah, man, I feel pretty confident about country music. And I was like, like, six episodes you said you knew nothing about it. So are they allowed to study? There were a few mentions throughout the season that they had been studying up you shouldn't be allowed to study? Yeah you should. Yeah, I don't know that one. That's a good one because the girl who had International food said
she's had it for a long time. She's sitting there. I just looked it up, so it says us a quote. I was a contestant. It was five days of filming, with two episodes a day for most of it. Day one was just one episode, Day three was three. So yeah, you go back to the hotel, they're definitely going to sequester you
like you're on a damn jury. You have your phone in your laptop, and if you're sitting on International foods, yes, you spend all night looking at lists of the most common or popular famous international foods, which is odd. But yeah, I think, what unless they restrict your internet access for some real maybe they could do that. Maybe I'll get Gene on the show, one of the guys. I don't know. I have questions about people
who attend game shows too. I'm always fascinated by how that went, and that's partially because we've been following Jared Watson of DFW, who's in the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions. I've attended a game show. You never have. I
attended double their family doubled there with Mark Summers. Yes, hell, yes, a universal in Florida, Orlando. Yeah, and you're there partying or having fun at Universal and you're like, wow, double there, that's awesome, and they just invite people in. You know, it's free and they just want people to be in there and clap. And it just took for ever. I remember it was so long of just sitting there as they moved
the giant nose with goosnot in it off the set. You know. I think the only show that I would be waiting I would wait for to see like that would be Saturday Night Live because it is live. Yeah. Because like even like when I went to New York, Steve's sister was gonna hook me up Steve Shackford on the Ben and Skin Show. His sister writes for John Oliver, and he was going to try to get me in, you know, but it was just like, can you be here from nine am
to two pm? Or no, it's just different hours. I don't know if that's what their specific hours were, but it was very much like, you know what, I would still love to do that. I think I applied for all that stuff. I was trying to get an SNL though. Yeah. Whatever, But back to the four Real Quick Yeah season two, I'm gonna give it a shot based on two things. Number One, I think the gameplay will be better because people are familiar with it, they watched
it and kind of understand how to play it better. And number two, they might need to make a few tweaks. There's no reason have a two hour finale. That was too much. It was too much to take in, and they've got to They've got to rig it. I'm sorry. How So, just like everything else in the world, it's wrestling, you've got to you've got to not predeterminate, but they've got to make choices. The
randomizer cannot be random, if in fact it even is random. Because the finale, the final game from Tuesday night was the biggest effing confusing letdown. Like I spent nine weeks watching this damn thing, and that's the finale. The guy that made the bonehead decision he had. He could have chosen a national foods which you got a chance, or fashion icons against a young woman who clearly has her look together, that looks like she's gonna know at minimum
twice as much as you about fashion. She ended up knowing a lot more than him about fashion. The guy gets up there and passes on every every picture of a fashion icon. He didn't get sand Off, he couldn't get Cindy Crawford. Idiot. I don't want to watch a finale where the dude's up there going uh pass, uh pass. And that's how it ended. And it's just okay, make the and make the finale. Give the finale
some juice, make it longer. I don't know. Yeah, random categories or what you do is get the last few people up, reset the board to its original state, and randomize the category, and then you have eighty one different categories. They will fix you. Go the best of three on that, because look, the producers of that show. The producers of that show are looking at that knowing that that finale failed. She wasn't even jumping
around either. She was just standing there too. She didn't have to answer, but like one question, well, most of the people who won didn't have to even do that much. You just kind of sit back and watch the other person fail, and then they've got to be able to look. Okay, Pink Panther, it was your turn. Stop staring off into space. Oh yeah, he got yeah that the interviews. I'm gonna kick that dude's ass and they get up there and go pass past. Interviews have to
be post. I don't know, man, I I just did there watching the thing. There's I have a lot of questions and a lot of fluff. They get. Gotta get rid of unnecessary things, you know. And if you want to do more people than eighty one and and just wipe out that fluff, that's fine. Going to buy a new floor heaven. But they were just trying to get to March. Expensive they were. Have you looked into flooring recently? Incredible? Who forget about it? Rob is great
though, He's perfect for that, for that role. What's up? Let's not do an intro here. It's Leap Day. Leap Day is one of the most unique years days of the year. Yeah, Kevin, if you're one hundred years old, you're really twenty five today. Huh. There's a lady named Edna, he's twenty five today? What I'm serious? How about this? Did you know this?

And I have some friends of mine who had a babby a few years ago and they induced on the twenty eighth just to make sure they wouldn't have the baby on the twenty ninth. I'm like you, screen, this is I'm going to be on Luca's birthday though, Okay, didn't Yeah was it pre Luca? Yeah it wasn't. Yeah, but you have a

I saw that wonderful movie Stagneti in the Gang. Yeah, wonderful

There's a character right named Frederick, who it seems was born on February twenty ninth, right, and they want he got in trouble and they put him in jail, and he had to stay in jail until his twenty first birthday, but they hated him so much he had to stay in there for half at more than half a century. And then Carmen Louvana showed up and made a conjugal visit. No, yes, what a loophole like if it's your mortal enemy, you're in jail to your
twenty first birthday. And then they pulled that technicality of not until you're like seventy years old. Damn pirates, I old man. Don't let them in your house. Hardly any rules on pirates. You don't let them in your house. Don't let pirates into your house now? Is that part of your live spot? Yes, I'm sure. Yeah, Doctor Gold, Yeah, that was doctor Gold. It was odd, but it was fun. Pirates love Gold, absolutely, dude, I love Gold. They have lots of

There's a place in Arizona that claims to have invented the pazuki. Yes, it's a cookie in a pizza pan, hot fresh baked cookie, sure, hot ice cream on top, whipped cream on that, a little chocolate, drizzled cherry whatever. Then they melt some cheese and pepperoni. No, no, that's the separation from pizzas is clear.
But yeah, then you slice it. Oh my god, you're seeing hot fresh cookie with ice cream? What's What's nothing like? There? And Hooters Hoot Club rewards. Loyalty members get a two dollars nine cent app How long have you been a member of the Hoot Club? Mikey h twelve years. Twelve years a Hoot Club member? He decided, ten years, he decided fifteen after college, it's gonna be a Hoot club member. Now real
quick back to the pazuki. Yes, all right, if you're I don't have any more info than when it comes to combining combining two foods, it begins and ends with the ital choo is one of the greatest. I love God, what a magical food. How's no one? How's that not spread? Italian nacho? Like? I don't care to screw it? Do it? Italian food? Are you the best food in the world and you mix

And then you have this this tray with all your fish on it, and they just grab one with grab the tongs and throw one more pieces on the dude, have it. They'll probably just do that
if you ask. Anyway, a regular day at my main intersection at Jim Miller in thirty, which is, by the way, a fast food emporium. If you're interested, we have dueling fast food fish establishments because across the street from one another, you have a long John Silvers, and right across Jim Miller, Captain D. Captain is there. The Captain is open and in and ready for business. That Jim Miller in thirty and has been for a while. Can't say I've ever seen anybody in the drive through really Captain
D's well change that. You imagine the manager fist on the counter at Long John Silver's the day Captain D sailed into town. So and then the guy at Captain D's is like, damn it, they're giving away a free piece of fish taco. Taco Bell gives you a two twenty nine crunch rap only on the app though, Is that a good price you'll get? Honestly? These days, Smoothie King twenty nine percent off of twenty out smoothie or larger not bad. Wendy's is offering a free Cinnabon pull apart. That's a different
restaurant. I know. It's like weird com tell you to go to Sinabon. Uh, yesterday we celebrated a leap day by eating buttery pancakes and throwing them at people. You're gonna say something else, Yeah he did. Danny was flinging pancakes at people yesterday, like he was in the New Day. Brody, you caught your pancake, you did, skin dropped his Jay didn't see that before the draft, quick glove hand catch of the pancake. But I didn't know what it was. And while pancake's flying at you and your
friend throws it, you don't know what it is. There's a moment of confusion. Do I want to catch this? But you know instinctively you just catch it, and sure as hell it was a pancake, a cold pancake he threw at me. Is that a person is that warned you? I said, here, Mikey, I got this. I got this. It was halfway the here, terrifying. As I was looking at the TV behind your head, Mike, they were discussing the Jerry Jones story and they're calling
