Transcript

You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven one. The freak supports at seven and thirty minutes, we're learning to be a text which, by the way, you can text us all day two and four eight when seven seven eight, seven one nine seven to one that the pump and dump is illegal? H one. Guy, that's not enough. Yeah, I asked him. I said, can you tell me how? I don't know if you responding on a couple of people. This is good. We're getting some insight.

Yeah. This guy working finance for a long time also worked at Google. See there's there's there's big brains out there. This is encouraging. And this guy's right. He said, you start in early or you're screwed. The people who run them already have bought and they sell into your buys and then you hold the bag for who knows how long. And I've done that a bunch of times. You buy something that starts going down, you're like,

well, hang on to it. Then you just forget about it. It's on some site that you have to factor authenticating to two years later and can't figure out how to do it. Yeah, he shouldn't. The thing's robinhood until we talk. If we talk about the show randomly, I'll check it, but I never look at it. And I have been to see something about doze coin three days ago and hold it up. I was like, oh, yeah, I get more money in there, and I thought,

which don't have hardly any money in there. It's all right, Kevin, it's all right, it's all good. We have sports at seven and thirty. MAVs dude stuff last night not great. But also I have a little a minor ranger report for you. Just too small, really small sweets. Why is everyone everyone wants to cut Jason Kidd's head off, though, we are back to fire Jason kids ass quick. I mean it took ten days and it was like this team sucks again in the worst part. Right now,

we're not doing that right now? Right, No, it's seven, but go ahead, no way, you were right on it. I'm the same. Yeah, I'm gonna Like a week ago, I'm like, see, let's not be idiots. I mean, he's a fine coach. They're playing good. They just needed some players. No one could have coached those that roster, even with Kyrie and Luca. And then now this morning, I'm like, yeah, we should fire him. And I don't think I'm

a hot headed MAV fan. I try to be very level headed, but I'm like, you know what a decent coach And then it's not easy to see Carlisle all night. Yeah, it's because it happened twice to Carlisle, That's why. Yeah, But within basically a week, week and a half, I don't, Okay, when we had Carlisle, I know for a fact we would have high quality, strategic inbounds plays and I don't know this. Did we have this level of inconsistency under Carlisle? And I'm sitting there

going, I don't think we did. I think it was more consistent, and I feel like that's the sign of how good a coaches is how consistent your team plays. Maybe, and this team is wild. Yes, on their best day, they could absolutely make a run at the one seed in the West. Now make a run against the one seed in the West in the playoffs. They could. Offensively, they're so good they could beat anyone

on any given night, I think. But the inconsistencies are so wild, and that is the coach's job, especially when there's no effort on defense. That buck stops with the coach. I think I think I see flashes of it, but nothing like what Indiana does on every possession. Okay, so

is that every opponent's possession? The head coach, because myself Sean Sweeney, who's a great defensive mind, he's losing it on the sidelines too, palms up like you guys, just don't And then you can hear kid in the post game he's basically without saying it's like I can't make them try, like they know what to do. That's his go to move. Now, when he stopped trying to be coach hard ass, he switched to well they're playing,

why are you asking me questions? I'm just there. It's it's strange, I say, like the whole Carlisle thing that he wanted to play that car if Carlisle, if you make a choice to keep car Carlisle, then Luca is a Laker right now. I don't think anyone just want to see that so or a Celtic or you know, like the Carlisle thing's off the table. It's like just not, It's not even something. It's funny. I see people like so on Twitter last night we had Rick I can't believe.

I'm like, well, hold on, like, then Luca's gone and I will take Luca over Rick. Okay one hundred times out of one hundred. Is there any coach short of a Slovenian that Luca would be like this, Yes, this is my guy a one hundred percent. He seems to be like, if you're losing, he's not going to be happy with something.

I don't think Luca spends too much time blaming himself for things, which he has a thirty point triple double every night, Like even if he is taking possessions off on defense, it's like, you know, what, what do you want? What do you guys really want from me? I think he is pretty hard on himself. You think he blames himself. Uh, maybe not necessarily blames himself, But I don't think there's a bigger critic of Luca then Luca. Really Yeah, I think Luca thinks he's a player in

the world. Did you see his reaction when he missed that little round under the basket, that little layup that he makes ninety nine out of one hundred times, and last night he missed it and when he went to the bench. We've seen him mad, We've seen him get emotional with officials and rant and do all the crap that he does on the court. But boy, he was legit pissed at himself. He smashed a water bottle, like somebody handed him a sports drink and he gritted his teeth and just crushed it into

the ground. And within one and a half seconds there was another one presented to him and he took it and took the lid off and took a drink. But he was pissed. Man, we missed the lamp. And then Gafford makes a play to give have a chance to get the ball back right there. And because Luca was had his head down, Yeah, because he was mad, like he's that's that's his biggest thing? Is that just cooling that off? Okay? What makes him good? And like four thirty point

triple double and then you got to take the good with the bad. How about when's the bad not look that bad? And I and look if those performances translated into wins, we're not talking about any of this or just a couple of wins, but dude, it's because they got beat by the Pacers and beat soundly by Rick Carlile. So yeah, everyone makes the comparison. Well, Rick Carlisle. Want it's a championship. What's kid ever done? He got his ass out coach by Rick Carlyle, get him out of here.

Well, maybe Jason Kidd won you a championship too, you know. I mean the part of that was Rick Carlisle, and also Rick Carlisle saying, yeah, I'm not gonna fight you on who kind of gets to run the offense. Well, look, nobody's gonna argue that Jason Kidd was a better player than he is a coach. Yeah, no, sure, not sure. But it's like, okay, what are your answers? Give me

the list of candidates you want to be the head coach right now? And that's where I end up going there, Like, I think there's solutions somewhere. This team can play good. We've seen it. I think you run into a we'll talk about twenty minutes very too much. There you go. I don't even need an insure today. This is the most important thing in the world. We're switching. Just measure it. Measure your emotions, measure

it. It's gonna be fine. Measure it Mike until they I have, until they can I push blast their way out of the top eight and then have to, I don't know, do some weird ass play in situation and get eliminated and miss the playoffs again. Dan after reinforcements and a full season with Kyrie, Well, I think then you can say say goodbye to kid. But anyway, that's not the most important thing in the world. That isn't either. But I will answer this question, and I think the person's

being genuine. They say, what is a triple double? I know nothing about sports? Oh, good question. That means when you scored double, you have double digits and points, rebounds and assists or any three categories. In Lucas case, it's always points. So he has more than ten points, more than ten or more than nine assists, more than nine rebounds, you get triple three in three different categories, double digits. That probably wasn't

real good. No, I think here's Danny Baylis explaining a triple double in three two one double figures in three categories. It's when you have three pieces of meat and two pieces of cheese. That's actually funny. Actually is just as if to say it's he's never been funny before, not not a time. The action. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that to be funny. It was really funny, especially with you know, with all of the windy surge pricing in the news. Just kind of connects. Okay,

your joke was relatables. Okay, here we go, uh election press, Super Tuesday election stuff. So that means we had people commenting on it. JJ creak me please. Court. Of course, wasn't sane. Their official explanation was not they didn't like Donald Trump. They said he participated in an erection. And I have to it's insurrection, sorry, and an insurrection. And I have to say, I got up at five this morning to do Casey Hunts Show, and I'm exhausted. I don't think the level of your

tiredness has anything to do with what's on your mind. That's like the person who commits a verbal boner and then they're like, oh, it's Monday, Well it doesn't matter. It's still one of the days. But if you have to throw out election and insurrection a lot, erection's gonna have erections right there. Erection is close, Especially if you work at CNN, you're gonna get an in erection. Over all these topics. You're pumped the pedis one

more time, Jake Tapper. The Colorado Supreme Court, of course, wasn't saying. Their official explanation was not they didn't like Donald Trump. They said he participated in an erection. And I have to it's insurrection, sorry, and an insurrection. And I have to say, I got up at five

this morning to do Casey Hunts Show, and I'm exhausted. I would give to participate in an erection, to participate, anticipate in it, just to be around and erection, not yours, could be anyone on this one's on from MSNBC last night is irrelevant, irrelevant because it's obvious that she's just there representing the Rhino part of the Republican Party and she has no chance and she knows it, and everyone knows it, and stuff outage. Everyone knows it.

He was parting and she's there representing the Reiner part of the Republican Party. Interesting has his own wing because it's obvious that she's just there representing the Rhino part of the party. Is he really saying rho okay, Rhino, Okay, I get it. Yeah, he's a god. She's just there representing the part of the Republican Party. Yeah, he is shaking He is one of those old fifties workout machines with the belt that goes around while he's

doing this interview. To do it the Republicans. Everyone knows that, Oh it's great you voted, Mike, get there. I went straight to vote. I went to the Kids Springs Community Center. No paparazzi, damn it, No one's they're waiting on you. Strutted straight in zero weight, voted. Yeah, it seems like you in about I don't know, fifteen thousand other Dallas County residents. It low turnout. Hell, yeah, of course it is. It's weird. It's a weird one. This is a weird

one. The Tuesday. It's weird, you know, because you vote in part by you know, by party, right, so you're you're just there to show support for democracy. Essentially, you're not really there to vote against someone. And I think who you're voting against drives more votes these days than who you're voting for. Uh so, yeah, there's nobody there. I was offered a sticker that I politely declined, and she was like, what I do that too? I don't. I don't want what am I going

to do with this? But I want to put a sticker on my shirt. You don't want to have the selfie while you're in your car after you vote with your stupid sticker on your forehead. Yes, yeah, that you want. I voted, did you? I got to say something, oh like that starts like this. I'm proud to be an American and good for you with your sticker, But don't use it as a tool to shame others

that just choose not to decide. Because Rush, the Great Rush Band once said, if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. Okay, and it means as much today as exactly. Honestly, those stickers are such a good idea in the modern world because yes, it's like, what percentage of stickers don't get put on Instagram? Oh my god, it's weird that an old thing like the stickery I was like resurrected. Yeah,

but it matters. Yeah, so you didn't act like your did your civic duty and you care even if you don't you think some old man like, what the hell. No, I don't need a sticker. I don't need a toy for voting. I don't need a prize. I don't know about you, but Kevin You probably don't remember this dynamic. You're not old enough to. But boy, when I was a kid, you didn't talk about who you voted for. You didn't talk about what party you were affiliated

with. No, that was just something that I grew up hearing that that rhetoric. My parents told me straight up. It's like, we don't talk about politics. We don't. We don't talk about Democrats and Republicans, we don't. We don't associate that with our neighbors. It's just something that was never discussed. And now it's so different. And then you have the the the wise guys that come up with stickers that say have an American flag, that say I farted. Those are always fun. Yeah, that is fun.

And you don't know Dallas unless you really look. It's like the smart elks that come up with the stickers that you put on your back windshield. It just says zero point zero. I kind of support that. When I first saw it, I just had zero. But I think my all time favorite and we all see the stickers with the the stick figures of the family where it's the husband and the wife and the three kids, and then there's a dog and a cat. My favorite one of all time was the stick

figure of the solo man. Just one dude, and next to him is a bag of money. It's a giant bag of cash. That's comedy. Who makes the eye voted stickers. I was just trying to look it up. But I'm sure there's a story on it. But that's a nice little industry highlights magazine. I don't know I have voted stickers. So I read decline that. But I walked out and was walking back to my car and a woman approached me holding a clipboard and she said, what is she trying

to sign you up for a time share? Yeah? Did you say no before? Got a word? Beautiful kid Springs, Texas. I'm like, I live right down the road. We got great deals in the Panhandle right now, Panhandle, incredible dealside of Memarillo. And she's like, oh, could you please sign my petition? Trying to keep uh my what she said? I want to get it right, uh minor not miners, I don't know. Uh No. It was basically to take marijuana users out of prison.

Oh okay to maj no, but it was to prevent small say she had a word small use marijuana users, personal use, something like that prevent them from going to prison, and she I'm like, yeah, in so I put my name, signature, and address, and then I'm walking away and I'm like, I feel like I just clicked something on the Internet that's going to get me hundreds of emails. I didn't put my email on it, but I'm like, cause I know I hate that. I normally default

in a no thank you, just because I don't want anything. But then I got my car and I'm just like, oh my god, all. I thought it was the movie Oppenheimer, which I just watched. And in fifteen years, am I going to be labeled a member of the Communist Party because it's something I signed, you know? And I'm in some court unofficial back room court case. You signed up for this and you're a member of this, you know what I mean. I like you real name on that.

You showed really that you didn't put your email address, but you didn't have any consternation about putting your home address. That's fine. You put your phone number on there. That's it. Calls are now annoying me more than spam emails. It's every day. It's a bunch every day. No, no, all, I put my data birth, I put my print name, signature, home address, date of birth, social, no, do

you name? I just fake it. Yeah, if it's something like I accidentally got myself into it and I realize it, because sometimes you just respond and then I'll get the pin in my hand and then my go to I do this every time I write Donald Hodge really, which is a nineties MAVs player, you barely get to play, and I just go with that d Hodge email. I put d Hodge at gmail plus dot com so it doesn't accidentally go to a d Hodge. You just start faking a phone number and

then I'm out of there. Don't it very often? But anyway, she seemed nice. Mm hmm. I mean she cares about something. She's out there just begging for signatures on a petition. I don't know. I should be getting paid by someone, or she was volunteering. And she walked with me, didn't even slow me down. Nice, no problem. How would it take you the voter? Three minutes? Four or five? Yes? Okay? Part of that is okay. I I am I good or bad? I voted, I went. I voted up for people I don't know.

I've never heard of their whole life, their whole life to be decided with a click of my stylusts. And I'm just looking at names. Yeah, you know, like I knew the big one, but there wasn't even any eight issues. It was just a couple of things. There was a dude on there. I have the thing Texas Supreme Court. Yeah, I think a Democrat won that well, which was one of the few, one of the few because it was red wave. Well, no, but we only voted on your on the party that you agreed to be a part of.

Uh huh oh okay. But then you then you have know you can select options within the within the park. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's it's it's it's an election where you're not voting against someone you disagree with. Novembers a little different, takes longer, Yeah, and it should. There's a guy named Joe Pool on there, right, I'm like, wait, gives some bluff. I think I voted against him, assuming that a lot of people are going to vote for him because he has a nice lake.

I'll punish him for having a cool name. Well, I think I voted for Bonnie Goldstein, who is against Joe Poole because I grew up with a cool girl named Jennifer Goldstein. Okay, now that's the worst reason, incredible logic. I'm telling you how many people go in there and know every single battle and like who they wanted, everyone less than I don't know if what you did is worse than what I did. I did it, just went in there and just did write in candidates and put Jeff's skin wade for

all of them. Do is hope and he wins one. I voted for a guy whose name was close to Siroy when it started with an s. Yeahs d uh huh Randy CISTI we need to get him on. It might be the Randy's hot tonight in Texas Supreme Court. I don't know. So I'm in. They're going I don't know anything about these people, and I'm partaking in. You're right, but is it better that I'm at least in here or not? It doesn't matter. Kevin just said it. It doesn't

matter. Your vote doesn't matter. It doesn't And in most of these it's unopposed. You just have to click names. Yeah, there's only one name there, like fine, I was voting for I was. I did not vote for those people. I wanted to see if they could be a tie on those when they're vote running unopposed. I'm like, I'm not hitting that button to check that off. The name, He's right on the names. Though. You see a cool name, people, your eyes are drawn to

it. If you were a political candidate, you should change your name to something cool, yes, or something known, yeah, or anyone who's like a last name that sounds like a president. Yeah, all a cowboy player. If your first name was an apeman, Yeah, well, that'd be a good one. Change your last name to a yes, or Landry, Tim Landry right, or an animal Roger Landry, Yeah, I mean tigers easy one. But if your name was you know, Roger Landry would win

everything. I don't care one thing he cares about. If you had some type of animal name tires too easy, puppy Yeah, I mean yeah, Puppy Peterson would win the entire Puppy Peterson he was there, That'd be like, nah, of course, puppy Peterson. How it would be. Yeah, Roger Landry sweeping all elections. Yeah, Roger Landry is the governor of the great State of Texas. I think if I if I went that route

by I'd picked the funnier name, like I'm going to pick. If it's Roger Landry versus Dick Snack, I'm definitely voting for Dick Snack, right Crooked von Fayle, Oh damn, I guess I'll go with Dick's or six Puffy Peterson here Brawnie man Slide Victory Dallas County UH commissioner is Dick Snack. But my ties went to the women, yep, or names that appear to me to be minorities. What does that mean? Well, that's another thing I don't know. Look at my African American. I'm a champion of diversity.

Okay, what were some of the names that you thought might be minorities? That's okay, So there you go. That's some curb stuff right there. You try to do the right thing anyway, Go America, Go yeah, and shout out to American Samoa, who voted for some dude named Jason Palmer to beat uh Joe Biden. He found out when his phone was blowing up and he said he's never been there and he's somehow won. Happy Super Tuesday,

Happy Super Tuesday, Welcome to Awesome Wednesday. Sports is next and we will continue our maths conversation should Jason Kidd be fired next to ninety sev one the Freak
