Transcript

You're listening to the downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak thirty minutes Luca versus Media. MAVs lose last night. Things are getting ugly for our MAVs. We are the home of the Dallas Mavericks and we wish they were winning more than they have been lately. But we'll get the audio of Luca. We're getting ripped. People are getting riped today. People are getting ripped today, and maybe with good reason, tell you what happened there with Luca.

It's seven fifteen, seven twenty ish, the pastor that says God made him have a crypto scam. And then at seven thirty five, I've got the exclusive audio of the Fort Worth ISD Committee meeting that was interrupted by Pono. Right now, something for this. Wake up, your little sleepy head.

It's time to get your stupid ass out of bed to about the most importing thing and get out of it the most important thing and getting ahead of this one here because April eighth, we got a situation when the moon's gonna completely cover the sun solar eclipse April eighth. It's gonna be nuts. April eighth. All of a sudden, it's gonna be pitch dark, it's gonna be cooler, you're gonna hear it's just gonna be it's gonna be wild. And we are in we are one of the few places that's in near complete

totality. We'll be able to see it, especially if you go down a little bit south down to Hillsboro. They're actually already setting up some viewing places. They're expecting people to be in RVs and camping out down there in preparation of the solar eclipse. He guys know where Hillsboro is just a little bit south, like here in Dallas, like a little bit more of totality down south, but here in now is still like pretty good. Look here.

So Hillsboro is a town that you drive through, but you never really see it. When you're going to Austin. You see the signs you go Hillsborough. Huh, wonder what's going on there in the day. And that talking twenty to twenty five years ago, they had a huge outlet mall that was kind of a big deal. But it's not that dissimilar to the Alan outlet

mall. So there's also a situation too for something like this where there could be some eye damage risk if you're looking up at the Sun and then you see the moon's going to cover it, but you're looking up at it. So there's gonna be these goggles. And there's a company called Total eclips DFW, a resource for all things related to the total eclipse coming this spring to

DFW. And she thinks this, lady says, she thinks more than one million people are going to travel into our region to witness this from outside the region to come see it. And she's like, if you want to get these eclipse glasses, you need to go ahead and go get your hands on them now because there's not going to be enough available when this is time in three months, well two and a half months. Yeah, I'm sure everybody's really going to plan ahead for that. Kevin, I need some glasses,

and I need them now. I'll give you three hundred dollars so those glasses. I will say that one we had a few months ago partial Yeah, that was cool, and all the leaves turned into crescents. But I didn't have glasses, and I wish I had. I should have those in one of my my junk drawers. It's a good thing to have. You were outside for that right, Well, I walked outside. Yeah, yeah,

I walked my dog during the eclipse on your dogs. But yes, it was really bizarre to just does everything normal and you're going on this walk and it's like, what happened? It felt like there was like a nuclear cloud over the planet, but it was still light. It seemed like like it seemed like you were having a problem seeing like somebody turned a dial in your in your eyes that made the contrast different. It was really bizarre. So, yeah, there's a bunch of big cities, Buffalo, Cleveland, it's

all coming down. And Dallas is technically in the full total eclipse option. I mean, you're you're right. If you're Dallas proper, you're gonna get what eighty percent of it or ninety percent of it. Yeah, it's weird because it starts like almost like think to our southwest down in Mexico, and it's shooting up through DFW and then up through the northeast, you know, right across America, Like Florida's gonna miss a lot of it, California is gonna miss a lot of it. Sucks to suck, but we are right

in the path. So that's why it's kind of cool, and it's kind of a big deal in why people were talking about it. What's the frequency on this event? Like how many between? How many years does this happen or when's the last time it happened? I guess that is a really good question, and I wish I did the answer here questions. They occur somewhere

on Earth every eighteen months on average. It's estimated that they only recur at any given place once every three hundred and sixty to four hundred and ten years on average. Okay, Also, nocturnal wildlife might wake up, and then non nocturnal wildlife, We're gonna be like time for bed. It's gonna throw our entire food chain out of whack for like three minutes. Then the supply

chain goes. You know, it's next tous Canal jammed owls everywhere? Did your middle of the day The video of the owl that's running, they're running owl. Oh my god, it's the cutest thing I've seen in my life. But the baby owl is a little uh you know, I kind of it didn't appear to be a baby out a teenager. It's a they should have put shoes on this thing. It's hilarious. He just starts running across the room. He didn't have arms, but his wings are kind of making

the motion. He sees a little feet move. It's so funny. Owl, little little running owl, owl running out huge Online dolls are absolutely beautiful, adorable little creatures. They are. You know, their heads don't go all the way around. Yeah, that was a lie, right, They can look all the way back, and then they can whip their head around so fast that it looks like they're it's kind of continued. So they have not quite three sixty vision, but close to it. Yeah, unlike the

hammerhead shark, which apparently does have three hundred and sixty vision. I learned that on the Speakeasy about a year ago. Yeah, we had shark Man. We had that, you know why we had during jabs and body shots. No, that wasn't during jabs and body shots. A segment that didn't catch on. Didn't catch on because it couldn't get cooperation from the boardop on that one. But that was a long time ago. I'll say that guy that we had on who told us the three sixty visionbout the hammer he was

on because he was on the Odell Beckham plane. And that's what we had that guy on. Turns out he was a shark, really shark facts. Yeah, because he's like, yeah, I didn't see anything. He's like, well, why did you jump on? You know, you didn't hear anything, and probably nothing happened. I mean they had another video that came out. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm watching this running owl video and he's just standing there. Well, click fast forward, I mean

a lot of halfway through this damn thing. It's a minute long. Look at you, I'm an owl. Oh there he goes, there, he goes. Click in the video, he just bounced, he goes funny, Yeah, he's cute. The good stuff happens when you click forward in the video and then you actually go past it, and then you click back and you time it out right, and then you'd damn well you mean the little the little arrow circle with the ten in Itunah, I never use that.

Let's get ready for this eclipse, guys, let's get ready. What are you gonna do? I don't know you brought it up? They We'll go out and have a catch. I think a good downbeat. If any of our iHeart sales people are listening this morning, A good downbeat promotion would be here in the spring, have a catch with the Downbeat, and we'll go out and do some remotes. Night catch, oh night catch at night, catchers in the morning. What time is this going on? The times it

happened, Kevin, I was looking at the mask like you're mad. When we ask follow ups on the man, I was looking at a video though of they were trying to time it out on the NASA website, and then I remember I don't trust NASA Dallas. The partial begins at twelve twenty three pm. The totality will be at one forty pm, perfect maximum one. The totality ends at one four and this will end at three o'clock. So yeah, about twelve twenty will be starting to attention. I'll probably be in

my post show nap. You're gonna sleep through this whole way, Yeah, because it's gonna get dark. What you're gonna do? Yeah, no joys. But then about an hour and twenty minutes of anticipation, and then it really happens for about three minutes. This is Monday, Monday, Yeah, Monday, April eighth, dude, We're having a party, and Master's Monday, a week after Easter. I think we should do our shows before text day. Yeah, April should be beautiful. Let's see shows outside. Run

some cables out there, we just plug into the business center. You're right, Buffalo gets it. So when it when, it's when we're max totality here at one forty Central and Buffalo at two twenty Central. That'll be getting it just forty minutes later. Crazy, Well, I'm glad we're ahead of this, like almost three months. Well, it's it's a big story, and the point of the story is get those solar eclipsed eyeglasses if you want to look at it. Otherwise, don't be looking up but the sun.

That will damage your eyeballs. Let's do birthdays. Lance Dunbar's thirty four former cowboy great. I think it's a good day if he's making the list. North Texas was he after you after your tenure? He was doing it and he was a monster. You saw games of him in college at North Texas. Yol was he the focal point of the offense. He was running back and receiving out of the backfield. Well, I went to you and t in a strange time because year two for me, there's when they went with

the Todd Dodge, Bit Dodgeball and Adilla Dodgeball. You're pumped up when they announced Todd Dodge You're like, dude, this is it. Did you think for even a millisecond this is national championship? Is what the goal is here in North Texas. No, that's not possible because college football's rules don't allow teams like North Texas to succeed. But you know, maybe one day when

we get out of the NCAA's politics too long. There the other thing though, but that is I think in my five years of four and a half years of college, five football seasons of college, I think they won one home game in that time, and it was like a seven overtime thriller. And I remember the few games that I went to back in the day, very rarely was out there at the end of the game. It was a

lot of into first quarter and I'll see over at lucky lose. Maybe when that lucky lose and I own money starts coming in, they could change the fortunes of North Texas football. You know, if they just went all in the Denton bar scene, maybe Pet Pitt glove Peter Pitt throw some money towards some five star recruit. Yes, sir, cool Beans gets in on the mix. And then the epicenter of American football in college is Denton, Texas. They could recruit a guy named Andy, and Andy's could give him money.

You go, this all makes sense. A wide receiver, Tommy Pascal. He gets money from Pascal's next birthday, Hey, how did this? Hey? New punter? Next? Hey, you gotta new punter? Here it's tom Silverleaf birthday. He gets money from Dan Moving on birthday. Tommy Woodheads thirty nine, who a long time Patriot, great, one of the great football names that we've ever had.

Lovely me love Alicia Keys too. But what's her last name? Keys? Mm hmmm Keystone. He's was for the piano that she was playing. Oh man, that's smart. Schwartz Cook Alicia Cook? Does Alicia Keys have the career she had without changing your name? Probably at least a cook is a good name. Yeah, that works a lot more. Zelenski forty six when they a former comedian, a former comedian, sitcom star, and you can hear him on my podcast making it Ukraine. Have him a couple of weeks.

Once they get their internet connection re established in his bunker, Yeah, they reset the skylink. The next three birthdays are big for our friend Mike Siroy. Is it Raymond Floyd's birthday?

Oh, mom's name was jaz buttus Dan d who didn't like the song the world. This should be on the list of white people jams. You don't think you don't think the brother was big in the SCA scene. I think you know, Crank it Knock. Do you think this is what? Do

you think? This is what Peter Tosh and Bob Marley had in mind when they were toiling away in their recording studios, that white people would appropriate their music and speed it up and add the electric guitars and punk a punk element to it and wear checkered vans. So we know that one. You know they have another song. No, well, we have one other song. But they have an official band dancer, Oh mighty Boss Jones.
